Classana reflects potential change in educationWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
Local entrepreneur Will Lucas is the brains behind several projects — but he called his latest venture Classana, an educational resource website, "the most important thing I've ever done."
Lucas, a Toledo native, soft-launched Classana on Jan. 24 and will officially debut the site Feb. 4. The website brings customized educational resources to its users.
"[Classana] is an educational resource discovery engine. Our mission is to organize the world's learning resources … whether that be books you should read, classes you should take, online courses you should take, organizations you should join, events you should go to, etc.," Lucas said.
When users register for the free website, they answer three questions that help tailor their results: what their interests are, what experiences they have and what they want to get better at. For instance, if a user says he or she wants to learn more about cooking, an online culinary class may be suggested.
Lucas said, "There's people creating all these fantastic online learning resources, but there's nowhere you can go online that you can be presented with these options based particularly and specifically on your interests. There's things happening out there that we just don't know about, that help us get better at whatever we're trying to accomplish.
"A lot of this stuff is already on Google, but I have to know to search for it on Google. What if I don't know that it even exists? Classana, because it knows who I am and what I'm already interested in, it knows to present me with these things and I don't have to go searching for them."
The seeds for Classana were planted at the beginning of 2012 when Lucas was trying to finish his degree at the University of Toledo.
The entrepreneur was taking 19 credit hours while still trying to run his business, Creadio, which gives businesses custom radio and television stations to promote their brand in their stores. Lucas also launched TedX Toledo, which featured about 20 speakers, in September.
"One of my mentors was like, 'You're killing yourself trying to take this full course load and run your business. So when you graduate, what are you going to do? Give yourself a promotion?'" Lucas said.
"He said, 'If you're going to go to school, don't just go for a piece of paper; go for things that actually help you with your business; get better at what you're trying to accomplish.' So that made a lot of sense to me. So instead of pursuing a degree, I started pursuing things that directly helped me get better at my business."
Lucas submitted his idea for Classana to Rocket Ventures, a Northwest Ohio venture capital and entrepreneurial resource firm, in April 2012.
Blake Culver, the entrepreneur in residence who works with Classana, said Rocket Ventures helped Lucas develop the website's business model and commercialization strategy, make financial projections and assist with database development.
"We always were enamored with the idea, but it was a matter of how it would function as an enterprise," Culver said. "The idea is quite unique and it's differentiated and that's, in part, why it has appeal."
Lucas said there is possibility of advertising on the site in the future.
He added that, "What we've found is creators, whether they be authors, teachers and brands, are always trying to remain ahead of the curve in what's happening in their fields of interest. Classana is the best way to track trends in the marketplace. We believe there is value there."
Dan Slifko, president and director of Rocket Ventures, said if more entrepreneurs like Lucas utilized resources like the venture capital firm, Northwest Ohio would benefit from the results.
"Will happens to be one of a number of highly intelligent, previously successful clients that has come forward with ideas. They understand why Rocket Ventures exists," he added.
Spoke, a Web branding firm, worked with Lucas to brand Classana. This included designing the logo and building the front end of the site, said W. Gene Powell, president of Spoke.
The logo, an orange six-sided honeycomb, was inspired by bees, which collect things to bring back to the hive, he said.
In a way, this is what Classana and its users do, by bringing their knowledge back to the hub, Powell said
"Bees and hives and colonies became this perfect metaphor," Powell said. He added that Spoke was excited when Lucas approached them with the idea.
"Will's got a great track record of success and we like working with smart, successful people like that," he said.
"As far as the actual platform or product, we're excited because he's really at the beginning of this societal shift of education."
Lucas noted that most colleges are designed to help students get a diploma or degree, not necessarily take classes meant to help them get better at their specific interests.
"We need a better way to organize classes because we believe education is going to get more entrepreneurial," Lucas said.
Lucas said Classana reflects a possible change in higher education. He referenced Apple founder Steve Jobs' famous commencement speech at Stanford University.
Jobs, a college dropout, said, "I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting."
While he believes college is still a worthy investment, Lucas said of Jobs' quote, "I believe that's what the future of education looks like. Instead of us going for this special degree or diploma, we're going to go for things that help us more efficiently pursue our passions."

Sixsmith is currently second in the nation in assists per game with 1.19, while he is 10th in points per game with 1.56. Last season, Sixsmith was third on the team in points (40) with 12 goals and 28 assists. He has also shown that he is a clutch player as he was named the 2006 Atlantic Hockey Tournament MVP for his three goals and five assists in the three games.
LANDRY LEADS DEFENSEMEN IN SCORING: Senior defenseman Jon Landry (Lexington, Mass.) is having a big season so far as his 1.19 points per game by a defenseman are ranked first in Atlantic Hockey and second in the nation. He is second on the team in goals (eight), assists (11) and points (19). Seven of Landry's eight goals are on the power play as his seven power play goals are tied for second in the nation.

For his career, Reinhardt has 31 goals and 44 assists for 75 points in 84 games. His 31 goals are 10th on the Holy Cross all-time Division I chart.
ROOKIE DRISCOLL OFF TO FAST START: Freshman center Ryan Driscoll (Dorchester, Mass.) has five goals and nine assists for 14 points on the season. He is tied for fifth on the team in goals, third in assists and fourth in points. Driscoll has played in all 16 games and his .88 points per game by a rookie are second in Atlantic Hockey and are tied for 20th in the country.
HC PICKED THIRD IN PRESEASON POLL: Holy Cross was picked to finish third in the Atlantic Hockey Preseason Coaches Poll. The Crusaders received 83 total points with one first place vote. Mercyhurst was picked as this year's preseason favorite with 96 points and seven first place votes, followed by Sacred Heart with 88 points and two first place votes. Following Holy Cross, Connecticut was picked fourth with 55 points, and Air Force and Bentley tied for fifth with 51 points each. Canisius (45 points), RIT (36 points), Army (32 points) and AIC (13 points) were picked in positions seven through 10 by the league's head coaches.
2005-06 REVIEW: The Crusaders are coming off their most successful season with a school-best 27-10-2 record as they earned their first win in the NCAA Tournament. The 4-3 overtime victory over Minnesota in the NCAA West Regional Semifinals marked the first time that a No. 4 seed defeated a No. 1 seed in NCAA action (since the tournament expanded to 16 teams). The Crusaders also won the Atlantic Hockey regular season and tournament titles for the second time in three years, and were ranked No. 14 in the final USA Today/American Hockey Magazine poll for its highest ever national ranking.
HOLY CROSS HEAD COACH Paul Pearl: Paul Pearl is in his 12th year at the helm of the Holy Cross ice hockey program, and is just the fifth head coach in the history of ice hockey at Holy Cross. On January 21, 2006, with a 3-2 victory at Dartmouth, Pearl became the school's all-time winningest coach with the 168th victory of his career. Pearl has forged a 188-156-32 record at Holy Cross and has been the man behind the bench in seven of the nine most successful seasons in Holy Cross history, while he has had three teams post 20-plus win seasons. Along with 10 post-season appearances in 11 years, Pearl led the Crusaders to their first two NCAA Tournament appearances in 2003-04 and 2005-06, while he coached the Crusaders to their first ever NCAA Tournament win with the 4-3 overtime victory over Minnesota in Grand Forks, N.D., on March 24, 2006. In 2005-06, Pearl led the Crusaders to a school single season record 27 victories, as the team posted an overall record of 27-10-2. Holy Cross also claimed the Atlantic Hockey regular season and tournament titles. As a four-year letterwinner for the Crusaders, he played in 125 games as a defenseman, tallying 14 goals and 63 assists. Pearl led Holy Cross with 25 assists as a senior captain on the 1988-89 squad. During his four-year playing-career, Holy Cross won 63 games and qualified for the ECAC East Tournament twice.
CRUSADERS IN THE PROS: Former Holy Cross hockey player Patrick Rissmiller has been having success in the NHL with the San Jose Sharks. After being recalled from the Cleveland Barons on March 15, 2006, Rissmiller went onto to tally five goals and four assists in 29 games, including two goals and an assist in the playoffs. Rissmiller scored the first goal of the game in San Jose's 5-4 win over Nashville in Game Four of the Western Conference Quarterfinals as the Sharks went onto win the series, 4-1. So far this year he has two goals and six assists in 28 games. Currently four players from last season's graduating class are on professional rosters. Goalie Tony Quesada is with the Houston Aeros of the AHL which is the affiliate of the NHL's Minnesota Wild, while Tyler McGregor and goalie Ben Conway are playing for the Memphis RiverKings of the CHL. Also defenseman Marc Bianchi is playing with the Lubbock Cotton Kings of the CHL.

Bobby Williams, who was charged with animal cruelty in connection with dogfighting, found himself in front of Superior Court Judge Hulane George, an avid animal advocate, Oct. 11.
George followed the sentence recommendation of the state, which was to revoke the balance of Williams' sentence to the state penal system. The sentence has the end date of April 25, 2016.
After the facts came out that Williams had also been charged with animal cruelty in 2006, also in connection with dogfighting, she had a word with him.
"I don't think much of any man or woman who would do this. The next time I see you in front of me, I promise I will remember and put you in prison for a long time," the judge said.
Williams was revoked because of his Sept. 17 arrest. He was charged with cruelty to animals, obstruction or hindering law enforcement officers, dogfighting and a probation violation.
Lewis Pitts was also arrested in the incident.

Can Lizzie Olsen Outshine Mary Kate & Ashley's Reputation?
Lizzie Olsen has a challenge ahead of her if she wants to be a respected actress in Hollywood. Now that the up and coming actress is starring in two films at this weekend's Sundance Film Festival, Olsen better hope that many don't just shrug her off as just another Olsen offspring.
There is good and bad that comes with being related to the Olsen twins, Mary Kate and Ashley. Fortunately, the Olsen twins are running a billion dollar empire. They are respected in the business aspect of fame, but when it comes to their acting abilities, they are basically child stars who could not make it work as adults.
So unfortunately, there is no credibility as far as talent in the acting sense. Hopefully, Lizzie Olsen can prove everyone wrong and become the Olsen offspring who flew under the radar – the underdog of Hollywood.
Yes, I am rooting for this girl. She looks absolutely beautiful and seems to be working with some of the best in Hollywood. They must know something that we don't. But I am sure that once her films are previewed on a larger scale, we can make an accurate judgement pertaining to her acting ability.
Are you as excited to see what Lizzie Olsen is capable of?

With the 31st overall pick the Dallas Cowboys selected center Travis Frederick out of Wisconsin
Most NFL experts perceived Dallas would go with the best offensive tackle on the board, and instead went with the converted center, Frederick.
A stretch as a first-round pick, but Frederick is rated as the top center in this year's draft class, and was only going to be a first-round pick by a team looking for a center, which Dallas is.
Frederick will immediately step in and will provide some stability for a team that used six different centers during the 2012 season.

Rampant Red Steer
January 17th 2013 05:22
The Red Steer' is running rampant
as summers heat arrives.
With fires burning in every state
people struggle to survive.
Many homes burnt to rubble,
evacuation is a must,
and when the fires are subdued
many aspirations will be as dust.
Tis summer in Australia,
the hottest one for years,
and the fire crews face the horror
of battling their worst fears.
Ninety fires in New South Wales,
Tasmania has thirty more,
I know not about the other states
but theyd have their fires for sure.
Say a prayer for the firies,
most are volunteers,
May they get some rain to quell those fires,
and bring them all good cheer.

Damn, welcome back werdum
roy needs to embrace his jits
He has to be able to take to fight to the ground to embrace his BJJ. Roy is trapped in no mans land, too big for 205 and too small to bang with the skilled HWs. Roy is entertaining as hell to watch, and can take a punch like no other… but his days are numbered in the UFC… he'd be lucky to get another fight. Anyone in the top 10 would smash him… good luck Roy!
Man, big country need to win a fight, i always had big hopes for the guy but now i dont know what to think, What happened to his KO power he showed against Steffan Struve, and didnt he kick Kimbos ass in TUF. He is like 36 years old but I havnt lost all faith in him. Lets see him Break Frank Mirs arm with some of that BJJ
Damn. Well and truely vagina faced.
Omg!!! He's a beast!!!
he needs to lose weight and go to 205 or lose weight and replace it with muscle and he needs to throw more he rocked werdum when he chased him and threw the overhand right he still got power just doesnt throw it
he is losing , weight didnt you notice his belly wasnt as round? he prolly lost like 30 lbs of fat, you cant lose that kind of weight overnight it takes time but hes doing it, i just hope he can stay in the ufc long enough for us to see his transformation, keeep on truckin roy!
Really break frank mirs arm? Dude frank mir was a bjj black belt before nelson even thought bout bjj…if im correct frank mir has broke two arms with his beast ass bjj
roy nelson beat frank mir in grappling quest when he wieghed 205 in 2003…
LOL!! Uneducated.
@thetude…. He didn't kick Kimbos ass, he put him in a crucifix and laid on him. Worst way to win a fight in my opinion
how so? mattt hughes battered bj in the same position
That was on TUF, if you didn't notice he hardly tried to do real damage to any of those young fighters because even before TUF he was an MMA veteran.
dude let somebody crucifix you and see if you dont feel like you got your ass kicked
Spit lips decision. Dammmmmmmmmmm!!!!!. Big Countrry goes hard
I rate Nelson pretty highly he's a real warrior and tough guy but Werdum looked great. His striking is in a different league than it used to be, his clinch and knees were really effective. Looking forward to seeing who they throw him in with next. Maybe Mir would be a good test then he's got to be up there for a shot.
Roy is a beast with an unbreakable chin. I hope he gets a new striking coach in between now and his next match. I think his opponents are wary of his counter right hand.
Roy Nelson should seriously consider the offer Mike Dolce made to him and drop mad weight.

About FDA
Drug Safety Oversight Board Meeting, May 17, 2012
Public Summary
The following is a Drug Safety Communications (DSC) posted since the March 15, 2012 meeting and relayed to the Drug Safety Oversight Board (DSB or Board) via memorandum:
- May 14, 2012 FDA Drug Safety Communication: Revised recommendations for cardiovascular monitoring and use of multiple sclerosis drug Gilenya (fingolimod). This update is in follow-up to the FDA Drug Safety Communication: Safety review of a reported death after the first dose of multiple sclerosis drug Gilenya (fingolimod) on 12/20/2011.
The DSB discussed two topics:
- FDA-Approved Labeling and Public Payer Coverage Decisions
- Opioid Patient Prescriber Agreements: Design, Piloting and Implementation
FDA-Approved Labeling and Public Payer Coverage Decisions
James P. Smith, MD, MS, Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products (DMEP)
The Board heard a presentation from Dr. James Smith from the Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products (DMEP) regarding FDA-approved labeling and public payer coverage decisions. The Board discussed varying scenarios in which a drug could be a "covered drug" in the programs of federal partners based on clinical trial data that suggests a patient benefit that is not reflected in the approved indication labeling, and the impacts of these scenarios on federal partner clinical and pharmacy programs.
Opioid Patient-Prescriber Agreements: Design, Piloting and Implementation
Mary Ghods, RPh, Safe Use Initiative, CDER
Insights from Shared Decision Making to Improve Prescriber-Patient Agreements (PPAs) for Opioid Drugs
Nananda Col, MD, MPP, MPH
University of New England, Portland, ME
The Board heard two related presentations bearing on opioid prescriber-patient agreements, from Mary Ghods, RPh, of the CDER Safe Use Initiative, and Nananda Col, MD, MPP, MPH.
The Board discussed time demands for implementing a PPA in acute care settings; clarification of PPA intent, and the need for plain language editing.

volves complex and highly technical issues. Many of the approaches involve accounting for the flow of services that owners obtain from their homes by adding a "rental equivalence value," or "imputed rent," to homeowners' incomes that would also be consistent with the value of housing represented in the thresholds. These terms refer to the estimated amount of money owners would receive if they rented their homes. The value added is net of owners' spending on their mortgages, property taxes, and maintenance costs. The thinking is that if the rental equivalence value is not added to the homeowners' incomes, then people who own their homes with low or no mortgages would appear to be no better off than renters or homeowners with higher costs. Taking this value into account potentially affects the elderly the most, since they are the people most likely to own their homes. Recent research suggests that the elderly poverty rate is relatively lower when owner-occupied housing is accounted for.
Given the uncertainty of data quality and the complexity of the calculations involved in estimating rental equivalence values, the 1995 NRC report did not recommend incorporating the value of housing in a new measure right away, but it urged that high priority be given to research to develop data and methods that could produce reasonable rental equivalence values.
Since the NRC report, several alternatives for accounting for the value of owner-occupied housing in a new measure have been suggested and evaluated. One approach involves estimating the rental equivalence value for homes that are owned, as mentioned above. More specifically, it first involves determining the rental value of a home. This value is used in the construction of the thresholds (the portion for which housing needs are determined). Then, in order to create a measure of families' resources that is consistent with the value of housing represented in the thresholds, "net implicit income" is added to homeowner's incomes. Net implicit income equals the implicit rent homeowners would receive for their homes, minus the costs to maintain them, plus price appreciation. For homeowners with no mortgages, this method can potentially add substantial amounts to their computed incomes, making them less likely to be classified as poor. Several statistical techniques can be used to determine rental equivalence, such as using rental equivalence values reported in surveys or through statistical modeling (see Garner, 2004).
A second approach for incorporating the housing value of owner-occupied housing is to determine the "user cost of capital." When constructing thresholds, which are based on expenditure data, the user cost of

Photographer's Note
This is the Marilyn Monroe room in the Salvador Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain. This Marilyn Monroe is an interactive piece. you queue for a while to walk up steps en masse for a chance to peer through a large convex lens that provides the view in my image. The lens is dirty and scratched and moves around, being suspended underneath a dead donkey on rope. The wooden stairs move around as people jostle their way up them - so if some smart Alec wants to tell me this is not in focus or sharp go ahead but I know that already. It was almost impossible to get this shot handheld in the crazy circumstances I was in so this is the best I could do.
The whole museum is the single most brilliantly insane thing Ive seen in a long time. I walked into that room and was totally mesmerised. Right above the hair curtains there was a bath on the ceiling and in another place table and chairs.
Most definitely a "day my pad went mad" kind of day:
"...the pop-up toaster refused to pop
the chandelier was smashed
the starter motor would not stop
the tyres had been slashed
there was no way out of there
I was stuck with what I had
out of order, beyond repair
the day my pad went MAD " - John Cooper Clarke.

Hi Michael,a very interesting post about this room dedicate to Marilyn,a great idea by Dali' this composition,perfect choice of point of view and excellent quality despite the difficult light.Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Mike,
This is a fantastic and exceptional capture again! l love Dali's "crazy" art!
The splendid colours and lights are superb of your shot!
Best wishes
Noel_Byrne (27028) 2014-06-30 12:55
Hi Mike
A wacky image and from the sounds of it, a very wacky place too! I think the shot is perfectly done, and see no blur of shake, all I can concentrate is the abject weirdness of it. Funny, the people standing in the pictures that make Marilyn's eyes seem almost like tears, giving a rather melancholy feel to the result. I have never used the word kooky before, but I think it's justified here. Great shot, thanks for sharing such a weird place.
Bst wishes
emka (85371) 2014-06-30 13:50
Hi Mike,
Amazing shot and place, I am sure I would be delighted to see it, just like you. What an idea. Really crazy place and splendid presentation of it.
Very interesting and funny note. The right corner seems a bit unsharp :)). Smart Alec. The lips would make nice couch.

Ciao Michael
ritengo che tu abbia fatto un ottimo lavoro, visto le condizioni in cui ti trovavi e questa è una bella dedica alla Monroe e una bella condivisione.

Hi Mike,
A good serving of Dali's surrealist art. I know I will be mesmerized too if I see this place. Good shot in a difficult situation.
Kind regards,
hi Michael
A good impression of a lady portrait, another Dali's incredible vision and realisation.

HI Mike,
A fabulous shot that does justice for the art. If you get a chance to go to Hobart when you are in Australia, I think that you would like MONA; Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art. MONA
ourania (35916) 2014-07-01 8:21
Hello Mike,
the conditions under which this photo was taken sound quite challenging, I'm glad you gave it a try, it's a brilliant presentation. I didn't know of this work, it's very interesting as an artistic vision, as an installation and as a photo. There's a seeming symmetry that encloses surprises, the portrait has an immediate impact and then we are drawn to another level where depth, colours, light and shadow create a captivating effect too. The blurry frame gives the impression of movement. Intriguing and playful. Congratulations and thank you! Thank you also for your kind and generous comment.
All the best, have a great evening,
tyro (21818) 2014-07-01 15:23
Hi Mike,
A surreal photograph from what sounds like an utterly surreal place - and very well captured considering what sound like very adverse circumstances. And, to me at least, this appears remarkably clear and sharp!
Very well taken, very well composed and with excellent light, colours and exposure despite what was probably very poor lighting too.
Kind Regards,
worldcitizen (7515) 2014-07-01 17:33
Hello Mike,
Cool photo! It's like going down the rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland". :-) I've always been a fan of surrealism,. and this museum sounds like it has plenty of it. The scene itself is fascinating, and the circumstances under which you took it also sound a bit quirky! Sharpness doesn't matter here - at least not to me. It's a fun capture, and I like the way those curtains frame the shot, too.
cornejo (35207) 2014-11-04 10:58
Hi Michael, very good picture of this interesting composition, well captured in this interesting picture with good sharpness, good light, color and quality. Excellent and interesting job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
Good night and happy week.
All the best from southern Spain.

Ive got a secret. Actually, its impossible to keep a secret. Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. Now the news is filled with stories of the government, Internet companies, and phone companies monitoring your personal information. Thats shocking, disgusting and illegal. People are outraged. Politicians are worried about privacy. Its too bad you did all this to yourself.
I know lots of things about you already. If youre reading this, I bet you have a television. You have a car also. Theres a good chance that you pay a light bill and a phone bill. I know that about you without even thinking. You might send a friend request on Facebook and then Ill know how many kids you have, who you married and the names of all your kids. Why are you worried about who is monitoring your information? You let me know all that.
One of my friends tells that cell phones are the worst things ever. If hes in a bar talking to a girl, he will get his picture taken and that news will be at his house before he can even get home. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light unless its bad news. Now all news travels pretty quickly. Now all that information is monitored. I wonder what we can do with all that?
Just imagine what information could be gleaned from seeing all the texts that high school students send out. What you doing? Nothing. What you doing? Nothing. Multiply that by a thousand texts a week plus all the students with phones and there is a lot of information to collect and decipher. There is a good chance that you wont read a text that says, Terrorist attack plan for 3:00. Be there or be square.
How about the tracking of your whereabouts by built in gps? Just because you know where somebody is doesnt mean you can actually go find them. If this is so easy, why do we have criminals on the run?
I watched a deer cross a road and walk into a tiny patch of woods. I knew the deer was in there. I walked up as quietly as I could. This little patch of woods was only 25 yards across. I knew the deer was in there. I still couldnt find him. You might be able to track some one by gps. That still doesnt mean you can find them.
This entire information gathering might be illegal, immoral and constitutionally wrong. What can we do with it? The more information we gather, the harder it is to disseminate. Once we find some information that might be helpful in finding terrorists, we have to actually investigate them and then find them.
I have lived in the same house for 35 years. Ive have worked in the same office for the last 25 years. Just about everyday, someone tells me that they cant get in touch with me. Maybe they should subscribe to a government monitoring service. What is anybody saying that we dont already know?
It wont be long before all this monitoring business will stop. Not because we dont need it but because we cant keep up with all the information. Just because you have access to the library of congress doesnt mean we can assimilate what all this information means.
Im going to try to keep all my secrets. Im not texting anything. Im not going to talk much on cell phones and I will probably leave my phone at home when I go after that deer again.
That would be terrible to track that deer to the small patch of woods and have my phone ring.

Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand Ltd (REANNZ) has entered into a long-term partnership with FX Networks to provide the national connectivity for the Kiwi Advanced Research and Education Network (KAREN).
Following a thorough and comprehensive evaluation process, REANNZ has selected FX Networks to provide the national network for KAREN from December 2010. The arrangement secures the continuation of KAREN's existing 10Gb/s backbone connectivity and footprint around the country for an initial term of 3-years through to December 2013, with two 2-year renewal options.
The contract also includes options to move KAREN to a dark fibre-based network. Moving KAREN to dark fibre-based infrastructure will be essential to ensure KAREN can continue to offer leading-edge network services within a constrained cost base.
"This is the most exciting development for KAREN since the network was launched in 2006. We are confident that we have selected a progressive, long-term partner in FX Networks and have secured the best national connectivity options for our community and provided certainty to our members on cost and presence," said Donald Clark, REANNZ CEO.
"Over the last 4 years, the demands of our members has driven innovation in network supply and services across the telecommunications industry. In earlier times our investments have helped other network suppliers extend their networks, now we're helping FX Networks," said Donald.
On moving to the new network, REANNZ will put into effect a new Network Access Policy. This new policy will provide greater flexibility to REANNZ and KAREN members around access, and use of the network.
Work has already begun on comprehensive transition plan to ensure a smooth cross-over from current national connectivity arrangements to the new arrangements in December.
REANNZ is in late stage contract discussions with the preferred supplier for KAREN's international network. An announcement on the selected provider will be made later this month.

ONTARIO, Canada - A family in Canada learned it was burglarized, only after reading an apology note left by the thief.
According to the Canadian Broadcast Corporation someone broke into a home , while the owner was out for a walk. When the family returned home they found their belongings in a bag in front of their house. Inside was a camera, an X-Box, fifty-dollars and an apology note.

Rocksprings, Texas
Favorite Products:
I'm Pat Kellner a 27 year old professional kayak angler living in Rocksprings, Texas. I fish tournaments, guide, instruct, and fish for enjoyment. Successful kayak fishing requires excellent fitness and good health. To keep fit I run around 20 miles a week as well as do strength training exercises.
I also believe in good nutrition and I use NOW products for additional nutritional support. NOW has been my protein and recovery drink of choice the past year due to the Natural aspects of NOW's products. Being concerned with fitness, I have always used proteins and recovery drinks but I have also been concerned with the health and environmental impacts of the products I was using. About a year ago I discovered NOW and I switched to NOW protein and recovery drinks because they are natural. I don't like the idea of putting GMOs or lab created ingredients into my diet. I have used NOW's products ever since and with great results, I might add. I have continued to increase my strength and endurance that has allowed me to paddle further and faster, and maintain comfort and concentration, something that is often lacking in unfit kayak anglers, throughout my tournaments and week-long river fishing excursions.
I have fished my entire life, but I never fished like most anglers around me. I was always very concerned with protecting both the fish and the water where I fished. After graduating high school, I began my career as a tournament bass angler. I traveled from lake to lake competing against other fisherman for different prizes and money. It always bothered me the way that my fellow anglers only desired money and fame, and would do anything (even at the expense of the environment, the fish they tried to catch, and other fishermen) to win. This absolute disregard for their environmental impact, or for fellow anglers drove me away from fishing all together. But fishing was in my soul and I soon fell back in love with the sport I grew up with when I discovered fly fishing and kayak fishing. The anglers who participated in these two, often combined, sports very often had ideals that fell in line with my own. Since discovering kayak fishing about 8 years ago I have witnessed the sport explode in popularity for several reasons, including affordability, access to water, health and fitness, and environmental concerns. I have been participating in several Kayak fishing tournament trails and have used my position as a pro-angler with Jackson Kayak, Bending Branches Paddles, and BioEdge Fishing, to continue to promote and grow the sport. Being physically fit has contributed greatly to my success, and NOW has been a big part of this.
Before a strength training or paddling workout, I take NOW® Amino Complete Capsules, and mix NOW® Electro Endurance™ and Recovery Drink Mix and sometimes a half scoop of NOW® Natural Vanilla Whey Protein in water. I take the same things before a run, but leave out the protein powder. During my workouts, I typically only drink water, however if I am feeling low on energy I sometimes mix in a little Electro Endurance™ for an energy boost.
After my workouts, or a long day on the water, I immediately drink a protein shake made with NOW® Whey Protein (usually the Dutch Chocolate) and skim milk. I then will mix some Electro Endurance™ with water again, and sip on that for a while. I have been more than happy with the Amino Complete Capsules, Whey Protein, and Electro Endurance™ and Recovery Drink Mix. I have become stronger, creating more powerful strokes when I paddle and increasing my core strength for balance and comfort while sitting or standing in my kayak. My endurance has also increased allowing me to paddle further without wearing down and maintaining my concentration. I also feel my workouts are better and often more effective when there is some Electro Endurance™ in my water. I plan to start using some NOW® supplements that will help further improve concentration, plus supplements for joint health.
I will be sharing my knowledge of NOW products at my fishing tournaments, pro-days, and guiding/instruction while encouraging fitness and nutritional support for those I meet and work with. I also plan to help share the NOW message through my websites, blogs, forums, and Facebook page. My blog is dedicated to Kayak fishing, the environment, and health and fitness. Plus I also have a professional kayak angler page.

Who Qualifies to Rule Over US is one of the most Important Subjects in this World of Woes, which this Inspired Booklet Answers, even though many People will probably find it very BORING, even as they find Political Conversations very Boring. However, such a Serious Subject should get much more Attention than most People are Willing to give to it: because, without the Correct Rulers, we could easily Destroy ourselves, or Self-destruct. Therefore, Remember that more than one Nation of Fools has been Destroyed for their Ignorance, Unbelief, Disobedience, and Rebellion.
If American Politicians could be Trusted, perhaps far more than 50% of the People would Trouble themselves to VOTE; but, as of now, most Intelligent People have a very Low Opinion of Flattering Lying Politicians, who Promise many things that they cannot Deliver: because, except for going to War, they seem to be rather Powerless to make the People more Prosperous, except to Borrow more and more Money from Foreigners, at the Expense of the Future Tax Slaves, who will be Forced to Pay the Bills, or else go Bankrupt: because of those Burdensome DEBTS to those Foreign Nations. Nevertheless, there is a Reasonable Solution for all such Massive Problems, which is Presented within this Inspired Booklet.
This Inspired Booklet Presents a RADICAL Solution for the Immigration Problem, which most Sane People will Naturally Reject, until they Study it Carefully: because it is a Guaranteed Solution that Applies to ALL People, and Deprives them of some of their Freedoms to Sin; but, by and by, they will be Forced to Accept it: beCause of having no other Apparent Reasonable Solution.

Hi all
Just a quick question, does turning File vault on slow down os x at all??.
I can't say that I have noticed much of a difference since turning it on. The only annoyance is that everytime that I shut down I get a little box that comes up saying that
"The file system is using more space than necessary. File Vault can recover this space. Click OK to continue."
The system then does something for about 5-10 seconds and then continues it's shut down.
Otherwise no problems experienced.

LRI National Coalition Voices Need for More Research, New Treatments for Lupus
Lupus advocates from 20 states representing the Lupus Research Institute's National Coalition, converged on more than 40 Senate and 100 House of Representatives offices on April 25th to voice messages of urgent concern to the lupus community:
- Increase funding for the NIH.
- Support the Trans-Institute 5-Year Lupus Plan.
- Counter racial disparities in lupus.
- Strengthen and streamline the clinical trials process.
The advocates started their day at a morning "advocacy training" session before heading together to Capitol Hill. The goal: to make the message so clear that the Patient Voice for Lupus Research would be transmitted—and remembered—for months and years to come.
The LRI congratulates all who made their voices heard on National Coalition Advocacy Day 2007!

Q: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
A: Who cares?
So: Despite a vaguely defined climax built around thinly conceived religious convictions, despite the creators' willingness to reject six years of tantalizing theories with the storytelling equivalent of a shrug, despite the growing feeling that I've been suckered into a marketing coup when for a moment there it seemed like it was so much realer than that, "Lost" was totally worth the obsession.
ABC's sprawling island castaway drama ended its six season run last night with an epic two-and-half hour finale that hardly earned its massive running time. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the show's central masterminds, chose to evade the constant need to answer its mounting puzzles and instead focus on bringing personal catharsis to its key characters. The result was a lot of embracing, shedding tears, people finding their "constants" and cozying up as they readied themselves for a new stage of everlasting happiness. To which I say: Boo-fucking-hoo.
Hope rarely goes hand-in-hand with reason, and often defies it. For more than half a decade, much of "Lost" was predicated on that off-and-on relationship. The title referred as much to individual yearning as it did to the physical state of its protagonists. But the physical state mattered, too. We always wanted to know why -- or, rather, whys: Why does the statue have four toes, why does the island contain so much electromagnetism, why do you need a dead body to travel through time? Or maybe those whys don't matter, because hardcore "Lost" obsessives can sort them out on their own, but in that case, other important whys scream out for resolution. To avoid all of them strikes me as less a creative decision than a lazy one.
Ah, well. It was good for awhile. A long while, actually.
I started watching "Lost" in 2005 with a close group of friends, and our weekly gatherings quickly developed into a community experience. The show fit nicely into that social dynamic, so well-calculated to generate debate that it literally forced you to seek out fellow viewers and swap ideas. With the finale, the creators have wisely made it possible to keep the debate alive with loads of ambiguity, but they also work against that momentum by basically saying, "Who cares? Nothing is definite, anyway." And that's pretty lame.
The "Lost" send-off that went down at my house last night really sent the show out in style. We had brownies decorated with the mysterious numbers (4 8 15 16 23 42) that had something to do with Jacob's shortlist of Island candidates, and we had a Virgin Mary filled with "heroin" icing (a reference to the season one episode "Deux Ex Machina"). We wore "Lost"-themed T-shirts. It was a good time.
The episode itself, on the other hand, felt like a wash. I felt a sense of loss, a lack of closure. Sometimes that spoke to the otherworldly quality of the episode, but mostly it wandered around and ultimately left me unsatisfied. Lindelof and Cuse turned their backs on most of the hard science rationales that gave the show a nifty sci-fi hook and allowed loads of New Age junk to win out. And that would be just fine, if it didn't essentially devalue a hefty amount of the show's mythological dimensions, which is what interested me in the first place.
Well, that's not entirely true: The first season of "Lost" intrigued me exclusively because it presented sharply written drama sans context. Before all those backstories about Dharma and polar bears and the Others and Jacob and the Man in Black, "Lost" was essentially minimalist theater shot on the beaches of Hawaii. But then they brought the promise of larger forces at work, and with that promise came expectations that they eventually abandoned. With everyone in smiles moments before that last cut to black, "Lost" did not earn my allegiance to its good vibes. I wanted either more answers or more mystery, and received neither one of those things.
Unless you're Doc Jensen, writing about this show is pretty goddamn hard. I've tried it a few times. I never considered myself enough of a theorizer to really unravel the mysteries with any sort of effectiveness, but I always enjoyed wading through the maze. In 2007, I concluded that "Lost" was "at once subversive and slight," and stand by that assertion. But last night, with a shamefully derivative white light and not shades but literally waves of sentimentalism, "Lost" erred on the side of slightness. Subversion be damned, I guess. It's probably whispering sweet nothings on the Island for all eternity.
Now that it's all said and done, however, I can squint through my anger and see a light of my own that's worth protecting: Five years of steady commitment to a mystery that, in retrospect, I never really wanted resolved in the first place. That revelation is probably the sole lasting effect that "Lost" had on me, and I won't regret it anytime soon.
And now for some photos from last night's Lost finale at my pad:
Some alternate endings to "Lost." They're sorta funny:

Praba Pilar bio
Colombian Praba Pilar is a performance artist, technologist and cultural theorist exploring aspects of emerging technologies which generate new forms of economic, environmental and sexual exploitation and erasure. She has spent the last two decades presenting performances, street theatre, installations, interactive projects, two dimensional works, writing and websites to provide a counternarrative to the overarching rhetoric about the beneficence of biotechnology, information technology, and nanotechnology.
In January of 2013, Ms. Pilar relocated to Winnipeg, Canada to begin a post-doctoral fellowship in Digital Humanities and New Media with the Hub for Innovative Exchange (HIVE) of the Institute for Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Winnipeg. She will hold this position for two years.
Ms. Pilar is currently presenting her latest techno-obra performatica: BOT I. Influenced by the work of Samuel Beckett titled NOT I, and by Isaac Asimov's I ROBOT, Pilar draws from these two texts to create a contemporary situated analysis of anxiety in the technosphere. Since 2006 Ms. Pilar has been presenting the Church of Nano Bio Info Cogno, a satiric multi media intervention into the messianic rapture surrounding the singularity and other effects of the technology revolution, at Center for the Arts at Yerba Buena, at CUNY Graduate Center in New York, UC Irvine, the Radical Philosophy Association and multiple universities and performance spaces. She has recently exhibited work
from a series titled Cyber.Labia, which is an extended
"cyber-talk" on gender, race and technologies. This
series has culminated in digital prints and an art book of interviews with cyberworkers
and theorists, scripts, images and a companion DVD. Over 2004-09
Ms. Pilar toured her solo performance, Computers
Are A Girl's Best Friend to Sweden, Montreal, San Francisco,
San Jose, Seattle and Albany. This performance counters the sexiness
of the computer industry by disrobing the truth of the exportation
of toxic electronic waste to Asia; net based gyno-slavery; net based trafficking, telesexuality;
Real Dolls and other extraordinary aspects of the computer revolution.
Ms. Pilar has performed
and presented multi media works at multiple performalogic spaces, including museums, galleries, universities, and public streets
around the world. She has participated in panel presentations
organized by Teknica Radika, the Museum of Contemporary Art
of Chicago, The SF Museum of Modern Art, Critical Resistance,
the Living Word Festival, the Media Alliance and several universities
and galleries locally and around the country. Her work has been
featured in MIT's "Race in Digital Space" Conference
and in UC Santa Cruz's Social Change Across Borders Conference.
Ms. Pilar has a PhD in Performance Studies, with designated emphases in Studies in Performance Practice as Research and in Feminist Theory and Research from the University of California, Davis. She is recipient
of the UC Davis President's Pre-Doctoral Award (2007-2011), a Puffin Foundation Grant (2004), the Creative
Capital Foundation Award (2002), Zellerbach Family Fund Award
(2002), the Potrero Nuevo Fund Prize of New Langton Arts (2001)
and the Creative Work Fund Grant (2000). She recently
completed a Master Residency with MacArthur Fellow Pepon Osorio
(2000) at MACLA San Jose, and was featured in a book on inspirational
women by Cathleen Rountree, On
Women Turning Thirty: Making Choices, Finding Meaning (2000).

COLUMBIA Unlike the Komodo dragons starring in the newest display at Columbias Riverbanks Zoo, Steve Spurrier says he limits his swagger to the offseason.
But the Head Ball Coach isnt denying the sprinkle of summer swagger, a personality trait linked to Spurrier when he thinks he has a good team.
Make no mistake, the No. 9 Gamecocks are very good, and Spurrier expects to start his eighth season at South Carolina in impressive style Thursday night at Vanderbilt.
In Connor Shaw, the Gamecocks have stability at quarterback, something missing at the beginning of last season.
In Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina has a healthy Heisman Trophy candidate at running back, a non-option down the stretch in 2011.
Yet the Gamecocks went 11-2.
Thus, swagger.
Which Spurrier, in his natural winning habitat, clearly enjoys.
Any coach that wins a lot we won a lot last year they talk a little more freely than when they lose a lot, Spurrier explained Monday at his weekly news conference.
Thats just human nature. Coaches that go 7-6 (or) 6-7, they usually dont have too much to say. Coaches that win a little bit are little bit more freely talking and thats probably the only thing that Ive done a little differently. Maybe. Not so much on purpose.
Generally, in the offseason. Light comments. Halfway funny But theyre true. During the regular season, I try not to be very funny about anything.
Spurrier vs. Saban
Gamecock Nation is still new to this concept of zinging foes and their fans. Spurrier swagger is well-known throughout the SEC. During his incredible run as Floridas head coach, he poked fun at Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee.
Spurrier was at it again this offseason. He said he wished the Gamecocks played Georgia early in the season again this year because you could always count on them having two or three key players suspended.
Later, he mentioned Georgias easy SEC schedule.
Spurrier harpooned Nick Saban, telling espn.com that winning national championships at Alabama wasnt such a big deal because theyve always won there at Alabama.
Saban shot back at SEC Media Days last month, saying he wanted to be just like Steve Spurrier, and last week, saying LSU, Michigan State, Toledo and Alabama were not winning before he signed on as head coach.
I really like Nick, Spurrier said Monday. I kind of like all the coaches. But anyway
Yeah, you know.
The regular season is here.
Enough needling. Time to try and win enough games to face Saban and Alabama in the SEC championship game.
Blimp motivation
Spurrier knows Vanderbilt is ready and went out of his way Monday to remind everyone that some people in Nashville expect big things from the Commodores in their second season under head coach James Franklin.
Spurrier pointed out that the Goodyear blimp is booked for a rare appearance over Vanderbilt Stadium.
Never mind that the Commodores generally are picked for sixth place in the seven-member SEC East and mostly because Kentucky really stinks.
Or that South Carolina- Vandy might not draw as many fans as the other Thursday night football show in Nashville, Titans vs. Saints in a meaningless NFL exhibition game.
Spurrier also noted that ESPN plans to make use of those snazzy over-the-field cameras that were the only good thing to come out of the XFL.
It should look good on TV, from a production standpoint.
But good teams coming off 11-win seasons dont struggle against Vanderbilt. They set a tone, for the season and for another offseason of halfway funny swagger.

Flightstick not compatible?
Bought a CombatStick 568 to use on my G4 1.25G MDD to run flight sim games in classic mode (A-10 Attack, etc.). The device, according to CH Products it is supposed to a plug and play on an OS 9 or 10 Mac. The only caveat is the control panel for the stick is not compatible.
The stick is recognized in the System Profiler, but nowhere in any application. Even the old ADB Flight Stick Pro was completely compatible. At launch the stick would control the cursor.
The new stick connected to a USB port on the computer cannot be found in either OS X or OS 9 Classic.
Is this device incompatible with Mac OS in spite of CH Product's claims or is there some trick to get it to be recognized by the system?
Try using USB Overdrive. It lets you configure almost any USB device to your liking.
Thank you. I'll try that. I'm just wondering if that will make any difference when the computer doesn't seem to recognize the joy stick in the first place.
If you are still having troubles with that joystick, I can now recommend a much better utility. I ran into trouble using a gamepad when I recently decided to set up my Mac mini in the living room for some casual gaming. If the game didn't recognize the gamepad, it wouldn't work. USB Overdrive surprisingly wouldn't recognize it either. I finally tried ControllerMate and got it working splendidly. It's not intuitive to configure by any means, and you will need to read their tutorials, but it is easily the most flexible and customizable tool I could find.

A week ago, Strategic Marketing introduced you to an NYU business student who made $300,000 selling "Osama is dead" T-shirts. Now, TMZ reports that a paintball course sees some serious revenue potential in the Bin Laden assassination. SC Village Paintball Park in Corona, CA, is investing $250,000 to create a brand-new paintball course called "Bin Laden's compound."
According to the owner, the course will feature 18 foot walls, Middle Eastern music, helicopter parts, a downed helicopter – and (my favorite touch) referees dressed like the Taliban. I'm sure that within minutes, players will forget within minutes they are "in Chino Hills by the I-15 and I-91″ and think themselves in the heart of Abbottabad.
Educational? Hardly. In good taste? Likely not. But without a doubt, "Bin Laden's Compound" course will make a relevant new addition to a park whose attractions include the likes of "Decay of Nations V: Fallen Empires," or "Airsoft BlackOps".
So from a marketing point of view, odds are "Bin Laden's Compound" will be a big money maker for SC Village.

Since Sears owns KMart can you return an item you brought at Sears to KMart? or vice versa?
Sears Holdings Corporation is the retail company that was formed by the 2005 merger of Kmart and Sears. While both stores are part of this corporation, the Kmart and Sears stores still operate independently. Any items purchased at Kmart must be returned to Kmart and any items bought at Sears must be returned to Sears. They both offer a 90-day return period for many items and 30 days for electronics and jewelry.

- heavy ion collisions (23) (remove)
- Modeling J /Psi production and absorption in a microscopic nonequilibrium approach (1999)
- Charmonium production and absorption in heavy ion collisions is studied with the Ultrarelativisitic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. We compare the scenario of universal and time independent color-octet dissociation cross sections with one of distinct color-singlet J/psi, psi 2 and CHIc states, evolving from small, color transparent configurations to their asymptotic sizes. The measured J/psi production cross sections in pA and AB collisions at SPS energies are consistent with both purely hadronic scenarios. The predicted rapidity dependence of J/psi suppression can be used to discriminate between the two experimentally. The importance of interactions with secondary hadrons and the applicability of thermal reaction kinetics to J/psi absorption are in- vestigated. We discuss the e ect of nuclear stopping and the role of leading hadrons. The dependence of the 2/J/psi ratio on the model assumptions and the possible influence of refeeding processes is also studied.
- The high E(T) drop of J / psi to Drell-Yan ratio from the statistical c anti-c coalescence model (2002)
- The dependence of the J/psi yield on the transverse energy ET in heavy ion collisions is considered within the statistical c¯c coalescence model. The model fits the NA50 data for Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS even in the high-ET region (ET >< 100 GeV). Here ET -fluctuations and ET -losses in the dimuon event sample naturally create the celebrated drop in the J/psi to Drell-Yan ratio.
- "Pressure equilibration" in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (1997)
- We study the time scale for pressure equilibration in heavy ion collisions at AGS energies within the three-fluid hydrodynamical model and a microscopic cascade model (UrQMD). We find that kinetic equilibrium is reached in both models after a time of 5 fm/c (center-of-mass time). Thus, observables which are sensitive to the early stage of the reaction differ considerably from the expectations within the instant thermalization scenario (one-fluid hydrodynamical model).

Jackson, along with several other celebrities, made their predictions/picks for the Superbowl this weekend and well, you can check out Jackson's below! Also… WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US? NOBODY!!
Since 1986, the Scripps Celebrity Super Bowl Poll has been asking big names in entertainment, news, sports and pop culture to predict the outcome of the big game. This year, more than 115 celebrities picked between the San Francisco 49ers, led by quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and the Baltimore Ravens, featuring linebacker Ray Lewis.
Take note, betting fans: The celebs have gotten it right 18 times in 27 years.
And this year the majority says the 49ers will seize the Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans.
JACKSON RATHBONE, actor, "Twilight": 49ers, 31-24. The reason behind the prediction is the emergence of Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback for San Fran. He's on fire right now and he looks like early Tom Brady when he won his first Super Bowl. I think they have the momentum and Kaepernick came out of nowhere midseason when the Niners' starting quarterback, Alex Smith, got hurt, so there is very little info on him as far as game preparation goes for opponents. He's really hard to defend because he's a threat to pass and run; most quarterbacks aren't as big, strong and mobile as he is. He is the next big deal in the NFL, and we are watching the beginning of his emergence as an elite quarterback in the league.
