Ashley Ison, Robin Ashley, Dr. Sara Phipps and Anna Perkins discuss how to help Cash the cat.Tony Casey/Johnson City Press
The staff at the Airport Pet Emergency Clinic see the good, the bad and the ugly at their Blountville location directly across from the Tri-Cities Regional Airport.
Offering operating hours opposite to the schedules of general veterinarians, the clinic sees emergency situations — ones that don't always end so well.
"Emergencies are awful for everyone," said licensed technician Robin Ashley, pointing out that pet owners coming to the facility are often unprepared, sometimes both financially and emotionally, for the unexpected problems with their pets.
Each and every staff member at the facility, Ashley said, has at least one pet of their own and understands the stress such emergencies can put on the owner.
"Peace of mind is priceless," Ashley said.
She and her coworkers strive to maintain a spotless clinic that can handle a wide range of possible ailments, from bone breaks caused by car accidents to urine blockages, a more common emergency.
Dr. Sara Phipps was working on a recent night when several emergencies came through the door, including a fluffy dog named Kipper who fell into a watering hole and needed immediate attention, and a black cat named Cash who was suffering from pain likely caused by a urine blockage.
After administering pain medication to both animals, Phipps and the staff worked with the owners of the two pets to figure out the best plans of action.
"We try really hard to offer care that fits everybody's financial situation," Ashley said.
Working out the finances just goes with the job, Ashley and Phipps said.
Ashley takes each pet's situation to heart, she admits, and says it's not uncommon for the staff to have to excuse themselves for a quick cry in some sad situations.
X-rays, Ashley said, will often turn up an inconvenient truth about the tendencies of dogs.
"Dogs eat lots of wonderful and creative things," she joked, saying the real-time looks inside animals often reveal stones, pennies, plastic, batteries, wood, and frequently, the white, fluffy insides of stuffed animals.
The clinic also has a surgery room where Phipps and the other doctors on site, Mike Hahn and Lynn Welch, can handle situations that require an endoscopy or ultrasound. Right next door is the treatment room, which includes a full pharmacy and lab for the frequently required bloodwork.
Flanking the treatment room are rooms where pet owners can sit and wait or consult with the doctor. There's also an isolation room, used if there's a chance of a communicable disease being present.
The multitude of emergency services are well needed, as there's rarely a dull moment when it comes to pets and what they can get into. Weekends often are busiest at the facility. People will notice an issue come up with their pet and monitor it for a few days only to find out it worsened. Coupling that with the owner's typical 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-through-Friday job schedule and the weekend is often the only time to bring a pet in for care.
The only one of its kind in the area, the APEC often even sees emergency situations from neighboring North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia. A trip of a few hundred miles, Ashley said, is not uncommon.
Many staff members bring their own animals to the clinic, which can offer some comfort to those coming in for treatment of their pets.
Grover, a great dane, sleeps in a comfortable, cushioned bed behind the counter. Customers have come to love Grover as well as the two semi-famous cats at the clinic — Fred and Bob. Fred, Ashley said, has an uncanny ability to know when someone is suffering through their pets' injuries and always pops in to comfort where it's needed most.
House pets aside, APEC has the right staff for the job, too, with assistants like Ashley Ison, from Weber City, Va., who has been working the clinic as her third job for two years. She admits she's in the wrong line of work and would have loved to pursue helping pets more professionally.
"This is the job I love," Ison said. "I do two other jobs. The other one pays the bills, but I love this one."
While the pay might not be as much as her other position, Ison said her heart is in her work to help the animals that come in.
"I hate that we have to be here, but I'm glad we are," she said.
Jessica Carter is in the same line of work for similar reasons. She works at APEC because she wants to make a difference in animals' lives.
"I've worked in a shelter for four years," Carter said. "I felt like I wasn't doing as much good. Here, I always feel like I'm doing a lot more good, even in cases that don't end so well."
Hours for the clinic are 5:30 p.m.-8 a.m. through the week and 24 hours a day on both Saturday and Sunday. More information about APEC can be found at www.apecvet.com.

University High's Jarod Smith prepares for takeoff on his way to winning the Class A/AA' pole vault competition on Thursday at CAK.
KNOXVILLE -- University High's Jarod Smith soared above the competition at Thursday's Class A/AA sectional meet, while Elizabethton's Katie May used the occasion to qualify for two events at next week's state championships.
Following in the footsteps of two-time state champion Devon Wade, Smith cleared 12-feet to win the boys' pole vault at Christian Academy of Knoxville. His Junior Bucs teammate, Salter Blowers, was second at 11 feet and six inches.
Smith wasn't the only local champion as May won the girls' triple jump with a distance of 34 feet and 6 3/4 inches. Smith's 12-feet didn't come close to his qualifying mark, which was a foot higher, but that was secondary to two UH vaulters qualifying for state.
"The pole vault is something I really like to do and it's more fun having my teammate take second place," Smith said. "I would have liked to have vaulted higher, but the weather was hard.It's as much a mental thing as it is a physical thing. In pole vaulting, you have to be headstrong."
While Smith didn't match his personal best, Blowers clearing 11-6 was over four feet higher than where he started the season.
"I was not expecting that," Blowers said. "I did terrible at the beginning of the year. I no-heighted twice and was afraid I wouldn't even qualify for sectionals. Then I started listening to my coach and it was a huge deal for me. I started jumping double-digit numbers consistently and now I'm going to Murfreesboro. That's awesome, amazing to me. The first time I vaulted it was like seven-feet and now I'm 11-6. That's amazing."
Elizabethton's May won the triple jump by over two feet over runner-up Makenna Smith of Sullivan North. Grace Owen of University High was third at 29-09 1/4.
May qualified for a second event as the lead on the 4x400 relay team which included Kyra McCrary, Heather Feuchtenberger and Kaitlyn Matheson. They ran a 4:20:90 to finish behind the team from host CAK.
"The triple jump, I had a p.r. for the season and that was unexpected," May said. "The 4x400, Mandy Largent got hurt and we had to find a replacement really fast. Kaitlyn Matheson really stepped up to the plate. It's definitely exciting to go back to Murfreesboro. It's the biggest track and the best competition that we see all year."
The Cyclones had another qualifier with Emily Schubert, whose heave of 106-11 ranked second in the discus. Schubert led the event by five feet until Kaci Ray of West Greene beat her on a final throw.
Elizabethton also has two still in the running for state at-large bids with the results to be posted later today.
Ethan Thomas went 20-09 in the boys' long jump to place third, and he finished fourth in the 400. The girls' 4x800 team of Feuchtenberger, Abbi Pierce, Maci Shell and Keylon is another strong contender for an at-large bid after running a 10:17 to finish third.
"Our girls 4x800 put up a really solid time," Elizabethton coach Aaron Wood said. "I really excited to see if that makes it. I think we have a really good shot. The main thing is going forward from three years ago to where we are now, where going to state is an expectation. The dynamic of the team has changed so much. Their expectations are so much higher and that's exciting."
Happy Valley will be represented in the girls' pole vault by Kaitlyn Simerly who qualified for the state meet for a second consecutive year. Simerly cleared 7-feet-6 and finished second to Corinna Cicci of Red Bank in a jump off.
With the event taking place in wet and windy conditions, it was an accomplishment to clear the bar at all.
"It was pretty bad," Simerly said. "They were taking cups and scooping water out of the pit. Someone said they had an indoor mat, so I was like, 'Why don't we just go inside?' But, everybody had to stick it out. To make it back to state, it means a lot. I'm so excited. It's my senior year and I can't wait to see what I can accomplish. I'm ready to go."
A major goal for Simerly is improving on her state meet performance from a year ago when she admitted to being a bundle of nerves.
"When it comes around to state, my nerves are everywhere," Simerly said. "I like this meet, but at the state, my nerves get out there pretty bad."
Alex Edwards of Unicoi County finished third in the event at 7-feet, while Happy Valley's Timothy Morris was third in the boys' competition, reaching 10-feet.
Unicoi County had eighth athletes competing with Edwards and C.J. Wells, who was fourth in the boys' 110 hurdles, the top finishers. Like Edwards, Morris and many of the others, Wells will check later today to see if his time of 16.40 seconds qualifies for the state meet.
Overall, Blue Devils coach Paul Shelton was pleased with his team's showing.
"We had 25 kids total, boys and girls, on our squad," Shelton said. "To bring that many kids down here, especially with a young group, that was exciting. I was thinking about it, six of them return, so we're only losing two seniors from the whole group. We're really proud of the way they worked and the way they finished."
Johnson County was represented by Andy Rosardo who placed eighth in the boys' triple jump. Another Longhorn athlete, J.R. Speed, missed the event due to a non-track related injury suffered earlier in the week.
The girls' state meet is scheduled for next Thursday at Middle Tennessee State University with the boys' championships a day later.comments powered by Disqus

Recipe by PATTON0626
"This is a very easy and flavorful lentil soup that is perfect for a cold winter day!"

2 cups
chopped portobello mushrooms
green bell pepper, chopped
1 small
red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon
olive oil
4 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can
tomato paste
6 cups
chicken broth
4 teaspoons
dried basil, or to taste
1 1/2 cups
dried brown lentils, rinsed and drained
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup
cooking sherry
grated Parmesan cheese
Absolutely delicious and very, very easy. A nice change from the typical celery/carrot lentil soups. I used about half of the recommended amount of lentils so that it didn't get too thick, and it came out wonderfully. The tomato paste gave it a wonderfully rich flavor, so if you prefer your soups "brothier," go with less tomato paste. We skipped the sherry and just went with a sprinkling of parmesan and it was perfect. This probably would work well with cannellini if you don't have lentils on hand. Thanks for an excellent recipe!
Portobello mushrooms are hard to find where we live so when I ran across them I thought I'd try something new! So.. this soup was what I did.
I have one word... BLECH! It was not even edible. My son asked me why the soup tasted like "bathwater!" and he wasn't being rude - he was just asking like any 4 year old.
Honestly, I'm not a negative reviewer, but I felt I needed to warn others...

This is a balanced, hearty soup which will be especially popular on winter nights. I only had 4 cups of broth so mine turned out a little more like stew than soup but is quite tasty anyway.
I wouldn't suggest serving this to anyone who doesn't like lentils as the flavor definitely comes through, but the onion and pepper flavors are less pronounced.
I might top some of the leftovers with sour cream and a little salt instead of parmesan. Next time I make this I will probably add more mushrooms.
I substituted celery for the green pepper & only added a dash of basil instaed of 4 teaspoons. I used a 32 oz. box of chicken broth & a 14 oz. can. The soup gets pretty thick though so you may want to add more broth, possibly at the end. I did simmer the soup for longer than the recipe said. It tastes good with & without the added sherry.
I've been trying a lot of lentil recipes lately because my family is trying to eat cheap and healthy meals. This is one of my favorites. I usually don't like soups very much, but I did like this. It doesn't need the sherry though.
This was really good! I didn't have cooking sherry, so I didn't add it. I also didn't have a green pepper, so I put in some celery, which was good! I did take some fresh, washed spinach and shredded it into my bowl of hot soup. I got the idea from another lentil soup recipe and it tasted really good in here. Maybe too much basil, next time I won't add so much. I did keep adding water to the soup as it cooked, but that's my personal preference on how thick I like it. Will make again!
substituted some water with tomato sauce as we had not tomato paste, used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, nice simple soup that we will be making again!
Very good! Next time I'd use less lentils and more mushrooms. A nice, easy, satisfying soup.

Aspects of the present invention relate generally to user interfaces for computer systems. Further aspects relate to providing computer users with improved visual feedback when editing electronic documents on a computer. Yet further aspects relate to improved visual feedback responsive to user selections.
The use of computers and/or computing systems to generate textual documents has become an established practice in today's Computer Age. Through the use of a computer, such as a personal computer, and a keyboard (e.g., one having the "QWERTY" key configuration), it is now possible for users to type and create documents of many different types and formats.
Various word-processing programs also provide a certain amount of visual feedback, through a user interface, to provide the user with visual cues as to the effects of the user's actions. For example, in generating an electronic document using the "MICROSOFT WORD" program, which is a word-processing product offered by Microsoft Corporation, many visual cues are provided. One such visual cue is generated when the user selects a portion of a textual document for editing. In typical prior art word processing systems, the user selects a portion of text (for editing, deleting, copying, etc.) by positioning a cursor at one end of the desired selection range of text, and clicking and dragging the cursor to a second selection point, thereby selecting the text in between the selection points. Alternatively, the user may use combinations of keypresses on a keyboard (such as holding a Shift key while pressing an arrow key). These methods of selecting text are cumbersome, and often lead to inaccurate selections. For example, a user might inadvertently place the cursor at an incorrect location (e.g., one space too far) in initially placing the cursor. Upon realizing the mistake, the user cannot edit this initial location, but must rather restart the selection process.
One prior art approach to easing this cumbersome process is found in the "WINDOWS" operating system, offered by Microsoft Corporation. In the WINDOWS system, a user may use a mouse to position a cursor over a word, and press a mouse key (e.g., "clicking") twice to select the entire word. The user may also press the key three times in succession to, for example, select an entire paragraph. While these alternatives are helpful when the user wishes to select a single word, sentence, or an entire paragraph, they are not sufficient to address the full range of selection possibilities. For example, a user might want to select multiple words, multiple paragraphs, or portions of one or more sentences or paragraphs. The successive clicking technique is insufficient to meet these needs. Furthermore, using the successive clicking technique, a user might depress his or her mouse button hundreds, or even thousands, of times a day. This places an undesirable amount of stress on the user's hands and body.
Accordingly, there is presently a need for an improved computer system and process by which users may quickly and efficiently make and/or adjust desired selections of portions of electronic documents.
Aspects of one or more embodiments of the present invention provide a modified form of user feedback when the user edits an electronic document by selecting and/or highlighting portions of the document.
Further aspects include providing one or more graphical handles on a graphical indicator of selected words and/or items. In further aspects, graphical selection handles persist after making the initial selection, and may be used by the user to resize and/or adjust the selection area as desired.
In further aspects, the automatic selection of a word or item in an electronic document may result in a highlight of the selected item/word, as well as one or more selection handles to allow the user to resize and/or adjust the selection beyond the initial selection.
In yet further aspects, the resizing of a selection may be made in accordance with a directional flow of the language of a textual selection.
Additional aspects include a selection handle rotation tool that allows for the rotation of a selection area.
Additional aspects and embodiments will be apparent in view of the following description and figures.
The present invention may be more readily described with reference to
A basic input/output system 160 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 100, such as during start-up, is stored in the ROM 140. The computer 100 also includes a hard disk drive 170 for reading from and writing to a hard disk (not shown), a magnetic disk drive 180 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 190, and an optical disk drive 191 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 192 such as a CD ROM or other optical media. The hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk drive 180, and optical disk drive 191 are connected to the system bus 130 by a hard disk drive interface 192, a magnetic disk drive interface 193, and an optical disk drive interface 194, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the personal computer 100. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media that can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs), and the like, may also be used in the example operating environment.
A number of program modules can be stored on the hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk 190, optical disk 192, ROM 140 or RAM 150, including an operating system 195, one or more application programs 196, other program modules 197, and program data 198. A user can enter commands and information into the computer 100 through input devices such as a keyboard 101 and pointing device 102. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 110 through a serial port interface 106 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). Further still, these devices may be coupled directly to the system bus 130 via an appropriate interface (not shown). A monitor 107 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 130 via an interface, such as a video adapter 108. In addition to the monitor, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers. In a preferred embodiment, a pen digitizer 165 and accompanying pen or stylus 166 are provided in order to digitally capture freehand input. Although a direct connection between the pen digitizer 165 and the processing unit 110 is shown, in practice, the pen digitizer 165 may be coupled to the processing unit 110 via a serial port, parallel port or other interface and the system bus 130 as known in the art. Furthermore, although the digitizer 165 is shown apart from the monitor 107, it is preferred that the usable input area of the digitizer 165 be co-extensive with the display area of the monitor 107. Further still, the digitizer 165 may be integrated in the monitor 107, or may exist as a separate device overlaying or otherwise appended to the monitor 107.
The computer 100 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 109. The remote computer 109 can be a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 100, although only a memory storage device 111 has been illustrated in FIG. 1. The logical connections depicted in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 100 is connected to the local network 112 through a network interface or adapter 114. When used in a WAN networking environment, the personal computer 100 typically includes a modem 115 or other means for establishing a communications over the wide area network 113, such as the Internet. The modem 115, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 130 via the serial port interface 106. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 100, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device.
It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are examples and other techniques for establishing a communications link between the computers can be used. The existence of any of various well-known protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, FTP, HTTP and the like is presumed, and the system can be operated in a client-server configuration to permit a user to retrieve web pages from a web-based server. Any of various conventional web browsers can be used to display and manipulate data on web pages.
Although the
A stylus could be equipped with buttons or other features to augment its selection capabilities. In one embodiment, a stylus could be implemented as a "pencil" or "pen", in which one end constitutes a writing portion and the other end constitutes an "eraser" end, and which, when moved across the display, indicates portions of the display are to be erased. Other types of input devices, such as a mouse, trackball, or the like could be used. Additionally, a user's own finger could be used for selecting or indicating portions of the displayed image on a touch-sensitive or proximity-sensitive display. Consequently, the term "user input device", as used herein, is intended to have a broad definition and encompasses many variations on well-known input devices.
The selection handles 302 generally allow the user to resize and/or adjust the selection of a portion of data, while maintaining the selection. In some embodiments, the selection handles 302 may be graphical symbols that may be moved to resize a selection body 301. For selecting text, the dragging of a selection handle 302 may increase or decrease portions of the current selection body 301, depending on the particular handle being moved, the direction in which the handle 302 is moved, and the directional flow of the language of the underlying text. Movement of one or more selection handles 302 may be accomplished in many ways, such as clicking and dragging with a mouse, tapping and dragging with a stylus pen, pressing one or more keys on a keyboard, or any other known method for moving a graphical icon.
"Directional flow" of a language generally refers to the linear order in which a reader of the particular language reads symbols and/or groups of symbols (e.g., text) according to the grammatical rules of the language. For example, text in most (if not all) languages is read (for example, aloud) in a linear format. This linear format is represented by the line in
For example, the written English language breaks this line into rows, where the text within a row is read left to right, and the rows are read top to bottom. Such a presentation is shown in
Regardless of their particular directional flow, each of these languages ultimately reads text in a linear, sequential, "stream" format. This linear format may be referred to herein as a "stream", which will be used below to describe text selection according to one or more example embodiments of the present invention.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the directional flow of the underlying language may be configured through the selection of a particular flow and/or an identification of a language (e.g., English, Chinese, etc.). This selection may be manual (e.g., performed by user selection), or the selection of a language/directional flow may be carried out through character/language recognition software. The directional flow of the language will be beneficial in interpreting movements of the selection handles of a selection area body 301.
In example embodiments of the present invention, selection handles for a text selection appear on opposite sides of the selection, and in line with the directional flow of the underlying language. In such embodiments, one or more selection handles may be located at or near the "upstream" end of a selection area, while one or more other selection handles may be located at or near the "downstream" end of a selection area. In some embodiments, the various selection handles themselves define the selection area.
The process begins in step 501 when movement of a selection handle 302 is detected. In step 502, a determination is made as to whether an "upstream" handle or a "downstream" handle was moved. This determination will be helpful in interpreting the movement of the selection handle and resizing the selection area represented by selection body 301.
If an upstream handle was moved, then in step 503, the new location of the upstream handle is compared with its old location. If the new location is further upstream than the old location, then the selection area represented by selection body 301 is enlarged in step 504 to encompass the additional text located between the body 301 and the selection handle at its new location. To illustrate, such an enlargement might occur if the user were to move selection handle 302 a to the left and/or upwards in FIG. 3. The process may then conclude in step 505.
If, in step 503, the new location of the upstream handle is in the downstream direction, then the process moves to step 506, in which a determination is made as to whether it will be necessary to logically exchange handles. Logically speaking, if a selection area is defined as the text between the selection handles, moving an upstream handle (e.g., 302 a, if using the English language) in the downstream direction reduces the selection area. However, after the upstream selection handle (e.g., 302 a) is moved so far downstream that it passes the downstream handle (e.g., 302 b), further movement of the selection handle in the downstream direction no longer reduces the size of the selection area, but rather increases the size. To account for this in an example embodiment of the present invention, the logic for interpreting the movement of a selection handle changes if one selection handle is moved toward, and then beyond, an opposite selection handle. Such switching allows the process to logically treat a broader range of handle movements.
To make this determination, the new location of the upstream handle is compared, in step 506, with the existing location of the downstream handle. If the new location of the upstream handle is further downstream than the original downstream handle, then the process moves to step 507. In step 507, it is determined that the movement of the upstream handle should be interpreted as if the downstream handle were moved.
Step 507 logically switches the selection handles such that the moved selection handle, formerly considered the upstream handle, is now considered a downstream handle. Furthermore, the process may then assume that the now-renamed downstream handle (which has been moved to its new position) was moved from the current position of the original downstream handle (which was not moved, now renamed the upstream handle). To illustrate using the
In one embodiment, such a movement may also cause selection handle 302 a to move to the location where selection handle 302 b was originally located. In such an embodiment, the movement to the new location may be viewed as:: 1) moving selection handle 302 a to the same point as selection handle 302 b; 2) dropping selection handle 302 a and picking up selection handle 302 b; and 3) moving selection handle 302 b to the new location. Such an embodiment may have the effect of unselecting the text previously selected, and may be advantageous to implement a desired intent of the user.
In an alternate embodiment, such a movement may simply return selection handle 302 a to its original location, and treat the movement as if selection handle 302 b had been selected in the first place. Such an embodiment may advantageously help a user avoid inadvertently deselecting an initial selection when resizing the selection area.
After switching, the process will move to step 509, in which it will be assumed that the downstream handle was moved from its original position to the new location.
If, after the comparison in step 506, switching is not needed, then the process moves to step 508, in which the body 301 may be reduced in size to select the text that exists between the selection handles 302 after the movement. The process then concludes in step 505.
If, in step 502, the downstream handle was moved, the process moves to step 509. In step 509, a determination is made as to whether the new position is upstream or downstream from the original position of the downstream handle. This step, and steps 510-513, are similar to steps 503-508 discussed above, but apply to movement of a downstream handle.
If, in step 509, the downstream handle was moved further downstream, then the process moves to step 510 to enlarge the selection area. An example of such movement occurs when, referring to FIG. 3 and using the English language, downstream handle 302 b is moved further to the right.
If, in step 509, the downstream handle was moved further upstream, then the process moves to step 511 to determine whether it is necessary to exchange handles. Similar to step 506 described above, step 511 involves a comparison of the new location of the downstream handle with the upstream handle (which was not moved). If the downstream handle was moved further upstream than the original upstream handle, then a switch will occur in step 513 such that the downstream handle is now treated as the upstream handle. After the switch, the process moves to step 503 to resolve the movement of the now-renamed upstream handle.
If, in step 511, the new location of the downstream handle is still further downstream than the upstream handle, then the process moves to step 512, in which the selection area is reduced in size corresponding to the relocated downstream handle such that the text between the upstream and downstream handles is selected. The process then concludes in step 505.
If the first criterion is insufficient, however (e.g., in English, the two positions are in the same horizontal row), then the process moves to step 553 to consider a second criterion. The second criterion is also defined depending on the particular language. For example, languages having the
Using the
In one example embodiment, the selection handles remain at opposite ends of the highlight area, and in line with the directional flow of the underlying language of text. In this manner, the selection handles may allow expanding a selection area backwards or forwards within the flow of the text. However, alternate embodiments may include additional handles around a periphery of the highlight area. Such additional handles may give users greater flexibility in resizing a selection area.
As stated above, releasing the selection handle 602 causes the resized selection area 601 to appear. Alternatively, the selection area 601 may resize itself automatically, and dynamically, as the user moves the selection handle 602 through the document. Such an alternate embodiment may be advantageous for providing real-time feedback to the user regarding the selected data. If, after resizing the selection area 601, the user wishes to further resize the area, the user can simply drag once again on a selection handle. In
Although the above examples are given beginning with a stylus tap to select a word, it will be understood that the selection handles and selection areas described may also exist for any other type of highlight and/or selection area, regardless of how it was generated. For example, a user may tap between words, and drag the stylus across a portion of a document and/or paragraph. The portion over which the user dragged the stylus may be highlighted by a selection area, and this selection area may also have one or more selection handles as described. Alternatively, a user might use a mouse to triple-click on a word to select a paragraph, and then use the selection handles to resize the selection area initially surrounding the paragraph. A mouse may also be used to move a selection handle as described above to resize a selection area.
Selection areas are not limited to selecting text, as other forms of electronic data may also be selected. For example,
The selection area 701 may be generated in any number of predefined shapes, with any number of available selection handles 702 suitable for resizing. As a user resizes the selection area 701, the computer may determine what objects are surrounded or encountered by the selection area 701, and may add these objects to the selection area. The selection area may also be expanded to encompass these objects, as shown in
The discussion above provides example aspects and embodiments of the present invention, but the invention is not limited to the particular configurations disclosed. Rather, the disclosed embodiments are merely example embodiments. Those skilled in the relevant arts will readily appreciate the fact that many variations to the disclosed embodiments may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, one or more of the disclosed aspects or embodiments may be combined with one or more other aspects or embodiments.

Here is Oliver at my staff Christmas party eating a candy cane. He insisted on helping as an elf for the Secret Santa giveaway. On stage, without my prompting. So, a real ham.
Age: Almost 2 1/2 years old! His half birthday is on Feb 5th.
Clothes: He wears basically all 2T. Sometimes I'll randomly find an 18M shirt or pants in his drawer and it often fits. Most of his jeans need a belt because he's a skinny little bird. His shoes are 9's I think. And his undies are 2T/3T which surprises me.Favourite Foods: I think tomatoes and cherry tomatoes will eternally be his favourite since he has personally grown them in "his" garden since birth. He calls them 'matos'. On the healthier side he loves all fruit - especially apples, clementines, halved grapes, bananas (unpeeled only, don't even think of cutting them for him unless it's going in a smoothie) and so much more. He is hesitant about kiwi if it doesn't have honey drizzled on it, which is only fair. Blueberries ('blues') and blackberries ('blacks') are popular right now. He likes every vegetable too - he had a giant serving of Brussels sprouts last night, he eats salad like a champion. He likes meat but calls it all "meat" unless I tell him it's chicken. Beef, pork, etc. is just "meat". He often asks for "dipper please" which means vinaigrette, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce or yogurt (if it's something sweet). He does love yogurt. He drinks only water unless he's in the mood for "hot cocoa" which he can practically make himself -- makes tea too (with ice cubes - "tea, cold, please"). What else? He always wants daddy's chips. He recently tried a pb+j and loves it. And just cheese all the time.
Favourite Words: I'd have to go with "mess" and "turn". He loves to point out when he's spilled something or tracked snow on the hard wood, or if someone else has. If he leaves his trucks out in his bedroom he'll come notify me: oh no mommy mess! And telling us it's his turn for a TV show is a more frequent thing than I'd like to admit. Beyond that, he asks to call my mom a hundred times a day "Phone Maamo?" That and "Oh MAAM" instead of oh man.
Favourite Activities: Playing trucks or tractors could easily take up the entire day. He likes his new play kitchen and making me eggies and noodles. Train set, for hours. He really likes bubble baths. He will colour for a new minutes. Reading books for a while too. Smashing things with his play tools. And actually, I'd say "helping". He loves helping -- with laundry, with putting away dishes, with picking his clothes, tidying up... He is an amazing helper.
Favourite Things: His favourite things would have to be Fireman Sam episodes, Tobblerone bars, his best friend Abigail, when daddy hugs him and pretends they're "stuck", when he gets to stay up and "party" with the boys in daddy's band ("Mama, party please?"), asking for refills on his water sippy cup, the days when I don't go to work ("gerk"), talking on the phone, and wearing jeans ("please Mommy, no jammies.")
Signature Moves: He has a mean twerk when he hears "booty booty booty booty rockin' everywhere" or that new Drake song. He likes to hop around and say he's hoppy instead of happy.
Mom's Proudest Moment: A very short lived one... we had friends over for dinner and our salad had cherry tomatoes in it. He had finished all of his and asked if he could eat one of mine. I said yes but I said: darn, it was my last one! So right before he put it in his mouth he said, "ok, mommy eat" and gave it back to me. I thought it was terribly sweet and generous, but as soon as I swallowed it he realized he'd made a terrible mistake and demanded I check the fridge for more tomatoes. I've also been very proud of his eating habits, his using "please" and "thank you" constantly, his new words every day, and so much more.
Other Milestones: I can successfully feed him chicken drumsticks, tossed salad, and oranges without being scared he'll choke. He can properly pronounce the name Thomas (his train). He is fine to have a bath by himself while I do other things in the bathroom (hair, makeup) - until recently he always wanted me to come in and play. He can put his socks on. What else? He can choose and close tv shows on Netflix (not proud), count to who knows what (depends on how he's feeling, most days he just says 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3) and say the alphabet in his own special way (A B C D O E O P Q S O yay!) He's cool to go on the potty as long as we sing every song from his Elmo book and he's promised chocolate after, but he rarely follows through and asks me to give him the chocolate, very weird. He is okay to wake up, and be told it's not morning yet, so go back to sleep - huge milestone! And he's just been overall really mature the past little bit, as we see him interact with his friend Abby who is younger than him he know he's going to do his best to be an awesome and caring big brother.
Lastly, here's the monkey with his Maamo (upper) and me (lower) as we drove home from the Farmers Market.

About HIM:
There are multiple artists with this name: 1) HIM is an alternative rock band from Finland. 2) HiM, a solo project put together in 1995 by Doug Scharin (drummer for June of 44, REX, and Codeine). 3) HIM, acronym for "Hiromasa Ijichi Melodies," a Japanese group. 1) Formed in 1991 by vocalist Ville Valo, guitarist Mikko Lindström (Linde), and bassist Mikko Paananen(Mige). Today the band consists of the previously named as well as a drummer Mika Karppinen(Gas) and a keyboardist Janne Puurtinen(Burton). The name HIM was originally an abbreviation for "His Infernal Majesty", but was changed to the initials to avoid confusion with the occult. The name "HIM" later caused confusion when touring in the US, because of another band using the same name (read below at 2)). Read more about HIM on Last.fm.

Snooki's Son Lorenzo Is Growing Up — Cute Pics! (PHOTOS)
We can't believe Snooki's son Lorenzo is already 7 months old! Though his mama Snooki has been a very busy woman lately, juggling her career as a momprenuer with being an amazing mother and fiance (which includes planning her dream house and upcoming wedding!), she's always made time to share pics of him and his baby milestones with us fans.
Recently Snooki returned home to spend more quality time with her baby, and she's got some adorable new photos to share.
"MY BABY!!", she tweeted recently, including a photo of her son looking so so cute (and big!) sitting out on the deck in his baby chair, enjoying the spring sunshine. He's starting to look more like her and Jionni every day!
Jionni also Instagrammed a close-up of Lorenzo strapped in tightly to his stroller, which has plenty of fun toys, of course. "We went for a walk today!!! #summerscoming," Jionni wrote as a caption. He's such a great dad.
We're amazed at how much he looks like Snooki with those big blue eyes and chubby cheeks. He's definitely going to grow up to be a very handsome guy.
What do you think of Lorenzo's latest pictures? Can you believe how big he's getting? Tell us below!

Soto Recommendations
Going to Soto this weekend, need some current recs on sushi bar and kitchen apps+mains. I heard there's a focus on uni, true? Thanks!
Yeah, he's a master of uni for sure - he understands and exploits the subtle differences between Atlantic and Pacific varieties. Standouts are the Miso Soup - which has a lobster & uni broth, the Uni Ika Sugomori - uni wrapped in squid with quail egg, and the Lobster w/ Uni Mousse, which has smoked(!) uni.
There are many other great dishes as well, but I'd definitely get a few uni dishes as part of your meal. I'm fond of what he does with clams - the Hokki Nuta (clams with miso-mustard sauce) and Geoduck salad are both great. My standard meal (for two) there would be two or three uni dishes, a couple raw dishes, and a couple kitchen dishes. Usually skip a sushi / sashimi course - they're good, even great, but the excitement at Soto is over the prepared items.
The lobster and uni mousse is a must have, as is the uni wrapped in squid. I second the rec on the geoduck dish and the fluke preparations have always been stellar. I also love the steamed sea bream.
I've had two of my favorite meals ever at Soto. It can get pricey though, especially when you tell them to give you anything so long as it has uni.
Here's the photos from my meal there last year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lawandfo...

More war has made the world safer for terrorists
Once again, the voices who preach war have made the world safer for terrorists.
The Israeli government thought making more war, instead of agreeing to a cease-fire, would make Israel safer from rocket attacks from the Hezbollah. Wrong--and maybe dangerously so.
And this is only strange to those who haven't read Chomsky's "The Fateful Triangle": Labor Party leader, and Defense Minister (in this coalition government), Peretz, is now urging a wider and longer war in southern Lebanon than Likud Prime Minister Olmert is willing to approve.
I keep wondering: If the Israeli government had even tacitly supported the Palestinian referendum that Palestinian Authority president Abbas had pushed; had the Israeli government agreed with Abbas to help foster the then-growing split among the Hamas in the spring of 2006...Wouldn't that have been a lot better than invading Gaza, which led to the Hezbollah kidnapping of Isareli soldiers, which led to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and rockets from Hezbollah...and where we're at now?
But, no. We had to have the so-called "hardliners" push their "clash of civilizations" bullshit.* And now, those hardliners in the US, who have our military bogged down in a morass known as Iraq, and the hardliners in Israel, who have got the Israelis grasping at straws in southern Lebanon, have made things worse for those of us who truly despise and wish to defeat the scourge of Islamicist fundamentalism that continues to grip significant elements in the Middle East. With any luck for Israel, the Olmert government will fall, Peretz will leave the Labor Party, and the next leader of Israel will proimse to work with President Abbas to stop the cycle of vengeance and retribution long enough to establish parameters of peaceful co-existence.
* The Samuel Huntington thesis, "Clash of Civilizations," is bullshit because there is more often in the Arab world a clash within each of the nations and societies. In Iran, there is a vast (now underground) market for American music and film, and most importantly, American lifestyles. In various Arab nations, there is the fight between Sunni interpretation of Islamic laws (much less stringent) and Shi'a interpretation of Islamic law.
The "let's declare massive war" doctrine does nothing to exploit those fissures. Instead, the "Let's declare massive war" doctrine creates and then reaffirms a solidarity among Muslims and simultaneously undermines or betrays our best values of open government, personal freedom and economic development. The saddest and possibly more frightening aspect is that if one listens carefully to bin Laden's videos, he talks like Huntington when reducing the battle to "Islam vs. the West." In fact, the battle is between the best values of modernity and the worst values of the past--and that battle is happening at different levels inside nearly every nation, including the US (witness the cultural wars against science in the US).

Fox Creeks girls basketball season is nearing its conclusion.
The team (2-18, 1-10 Region 4-A) fell 50-34 against Blackville-Hilda on Monday night in a makeup game because of the winter storm.
The Predators played well in the contest, according to head coach Richard Brady.
Weve been out of school and havent done anything since we played last, he said. You know, with seven people already, they were a little bit winded, but they hung in there and played well. Theyre having fun out there.
In the game against Blackville-Hilda, Fox Creek was able to bring a balanced attack on offense.
I think we spread it around tonight, Brady said. Keiana Green had a good night, and Dominique (Moore) had her normal night. Taylor Sheppard shot the ball well tonight. So, we played pretty well.
The Predators have one more game this season, a makeup game against Williston-Elko, which is scheduled for Tuesday night. Fox Creek and Williston-Elko were to play last Thursday but were unable to due to the ice storm.
Were going to have to keep trying to play and stay after it, Brady said. They know its their last one, and I think theyre going to try and enjoy playing basketball.
After the game against Williston-Elko, Brady and the Predators will be done for the season, which has had its struggles.
Im proud of this team, he said. We havent given up, even with so few players, and we still fight in every game. They didnt quit when things got tough out there.
Along with seniors Green, Moore and Sheppard, Brady will be done with high school basketball after Tuesdays contest.
Im going to enjoy watching the girls play one last game, he said. This will be my last game, thats it. Im going to retire from girls basketball after that one. Im going to go home and spend some time with my little boy. Girls basketball is always fun, and this was a good group to coach.
Fox Creek is scheduled to play at Williston-Elko on Tuesday night at 5 p.m.

Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ajay artistic flavors finest Soft leather, great details, super chic, well made. A little difficult at first try on, the leather shapes and allows easier entry after first try. So don't give up on them .. I purchased the brown, it looked a little dry, so I put some natural mink oil on them, and the richness of the leather returned. The fit is great, the style is unique, comfortable, fun boots. 1.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DariaGee Completely Content I am a completely content, they are a slightly smaller than an average size 6 but perfect fit for my/a narrow heel. However, I am slightly shorter in height and the top of the boot fits quite snug around my calf rather than gapes as depicted in the adjacent image. 7.5.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams diamond in the rough this is a boho biker boot with cool details, great leather and tons of potential. takes a little TLC to get it perfect, but all great boots do...so if you treat it with mink oil to soften it up and help it scrunch and of curse to keep the leather good for years, have it soled to protect the leather put insoles in to be nice to your feet and knees you will keep coming back to this boot. Got the brown and its a beautiful color, the height works well with shorts, slips and skinny jeans. the turquoise stud in the middle of the ankle strap is killer detail. Awesome deal for a great boot, go git:) 6.6.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by tsaltis worth it i was back and forth about ordering these based on previous reviews, but for the sale price i couldn't resist. they are tight to put on, but once my foot slid in they felt fine. if you have wide feet, however, i wouldn't recommend them. walking in them will take a little getting used to, they feel a little awkward at first, but only because they are heavy. Good quality and feel like a true pair of motorcycle boots. glad i took a chance and ordered them 5.9.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by jackietad not worth the price tag... Tried these in-store, they didnt have my size but i tried them on to check them out and these boots are not made from quality leather. The leather is thin and seems that it will not hold up over time. Frye boots are much better quality and a bit less expensive. Also, the stud detail is a bit weird with the black stone in the middle. Not sure why these are so pricey. Id wait for a sale for sure. Also, the sales girl said they run a half size small. 1.31.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by nuffio Beautiul but... these are beautiful boots BUT I was expecting a little more quality for $400. They're nice but nothing spectacular, the leather is average. I ordered my usual size (9 1/2) and when I first got them the heel was REALLY tight (gave me blisters) but they stretched out after a few days and fit great.. 11.28.2011

There were no structures in danger, authorities said, but the blaze burned about 15 acres of land, mostly large cedar trees.

Settlement and Deliveries
Final Settlement and Delivery
OneChicago futures delivery process flowchart
At expiration, holders of short positions of OneChicago single stock futures and futures on ETFs are required to deliver physical shares of the underlying securities, and holders of long positions take delivery of the underlying securities. This process is facilitated by the OCC and DTCC on behalf of your brokerage firm.
Please consult your brokerage firm regarding its procedures and fees associated with delivery if you are considering holding a security futures contract until expiration.
OneChicago futures on Select Indexes are cash settled and have special final settlement procedures that differ from those of single stock futures and ETF futures.
For physically settled security futures, the actual delivery date of the underlying security is three business days after the expiration date of the contract, reflecting the standard "T+3″ settlement process in the U.S. securities industry. Because OneChicago's physcially settled contracts typically have Friday expiration dates, delivery will normally occur on the Wednesday following expiration.1 Assuming a standard, non-holiday schedule, the expiration and delivery timeline for OneChicago contracts is as follows:2
|Last day of trading for futures on OneChicago Select Indexes
|Last day of trading for SSFs and ETF futures, expiration for all products
|Shares of underlying securities delivered (SSFs and ETF futures)
- Except as noted below regarding exceptions for trading holidays, the last day of trading and expiration date for OneChicago single stock futures and ETF futures will normally be the third Friday of the contract month.
- Holidays affect the standard schedule as follows:
- If the scheduled last trading day / expiration date is a holiday, the last day of trading will be the prior business day (normally a Thursday for single stock futures and ETFs).
- Delivery of the underlying securities for single stock futures and ETF futures is postponed by one calendar day for each holiday that occurs after the expiration date prior to delivery. Delivery therefore always takes place on the third business day after expiration. For example, if the Monday following a Friday expiration date is a holiday, delivery would occur on Thursday.

Jill Abramson, the ousted executive editor of the New York Times, continues to dominate media headlines with her highly publisized dismissal last week.
I sat down with Abramson in 2011 just a few weeks after it was announced that she would take the helm of one of the world's most venerable media brands. At the time, Abramson was clearly considered by many to be not just the world's most powerful woman in media, but perhaps the most powerful media person in the world. I discussed with Abramson her transition to this high-profile role, the stereotypes around women in power, and her most "up-at-night" concerns. Here are a few of the insights that Abramson shared during our conversation that were interesting to take a look at given recent events.
What's keeping you up at night right now as a leader?
The biggest challenge that I face, both as managing editor and now as I prepare to be executive editor, is making everyone in our news room as comfortable with this transition that we're now well into. And I think maybe under my watch we'll arrive at the other side.
And it's happening. A hallmark of my work in the past year has been to integrate our newsroom so that we don't have a separate Web newsroom, that it's one newsroom where the national editor is shaping a report for all platforms. And we were close, but not there…I want to continue pushing that and making sure that we have people with the right skills in exactly the right positions here.
Do you think gender and being a woman will shape in any way your management approach or your fingerprint on the Times?
Of course it does because it shapes, I think, my personality and very much who I am.
What will that look like? How will that transpire?
I think people here have worked so closely with me for eight years in New York, and as Washington bureau chief before that they are used to my style, which is a commitment to excellence but a willingness always to talk. I pride myself on having an open door and I like the part of editing that involves helping people through sometimes personal crises to be able to deal with a particular stress at work. I find that both challenging and interesting.
It's very meaningful to me that I'm the first woman to be executive editor of the New York Times. I can scarcely believe it myself as I say that. But it is very meaningful to me, and some of the people who interviewed me on the day of the announcement, especially I found some of the male journalists who interviewed me, were almost afraid to ask the question. They almost said to me, "I know I'm not supposed to ask this," but they'd ask me then a gender-related question.
When you listen to the conversations around you as a "power woman," what's your least favorite stereotype around being a woman in a position such as yours?
The "she's tough" stereotype.
Are you tough?
As an investigative reporter, I had tough standards and a formidable way of framing stories and reporting them, though I always had an open mind. But I don't think of myself as a tough person, no.
If you were writing a letter to yourself of twenty years ago, what would be the one piece of advice you would have given yourself at that moment in time?

Business Law Certificate Program Requirements for 3Ls
The Business Law Certificate Program allows students planning a career in business law and finance to receive specialized training in a set of core areas: publicly traded corporations, closely-held business entities, corporate finance, law and economics, and taxation. The program carries additional requirements beyond those for the J.D. degree, and signals to potential employers that a graduate has advanced training in these core areas. At the same time, to become a well-rounded business lawyer, a student must become well-versed in many other areas of the law outside of the program. The Certificate program has been designed to allow students to craft a broad, well-diversified course of study.

The candidate must successfully complete a total of 91 credit hours for graduation with a Certificate in Business Law ("Certificate"). Of these, 21 credit hours must be courses designated as part of the Certificate Program by the Business Law Committee (Committee).

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Milwaukee prosecutors are trying to use the state's sex offender law to help keep a 73-year-old man suspected of a 1970 child murder in custody.
Robert Hill recently finished a 10-year sentence for sexually assaulting four children under the age of 10 between 1995 and 2002. But police say Hill also confessed to the 1970 killing of 9-year-old Donna Willing, before recanting.
They say he knew details of her injuries that hadn't been released. Since physical evidence in her case was destroyed or lost in the 1990s, prosecutors will now try to prove he is a sexually violent person who should be kept in custody indefinitely.
A hearing Monday will determine if the case goes to trial. Hill is being held in a supervised facility, pending the hearing's outcome.
