Teen charged with murder in South Side stabbing
Victim's friend: Stabbing not done in self-defense
SAN ANTONIO - A teen suspect is now charged with murder in the stabbing death of 35-year-old Noe Gomez on Saturday night.
The suspect's name has not been released because he is a minor.
An witness said she was good friends with the victim -- and saw the whole thing happen.
Delia Gonzales made a makeshift memorial for Gomez after he was stabbed to death outside of a home at 130 Glenwood Drive.
The 15-year-old suspect is Gomez's girlfriend's son. A fight between Gomez and his girlfriend started the whole thing, Gonzales said.
"He was just laying there face-down, and when they turned him around, I saw all the blood," said Gonzales, who was at the scene before police arrived.
Police reports state the teen pulled a knife and stabbed Gomez in the ribs. Not long after, the teen called 911, then turned himself in, admitting that he was the one who stabbed Gomez.
Gonzlaes said she doesn't believe the murder was in self-defense. She said the suspect was taunting Gomez as he lay dying.
Police aren't buying self-defense either, and said the circumstances don't add up.
"The amount of violence wasn't so significant that our suspect had to use deadly force," said Lt. Chris Benavides, San Antonio police spokesman.
The teen will likely be tried as an adult.

George, Monday 19 April 2010
Sunrise: 9.48am
Sunset: 3.58pm
A fortnight ago I saw some people looking out of the lounge window of Scott Base, New Zealand's Antarctic base. Given the spectacular views, this is not unusual. However, this time when I followed their gaze I saw something pretty peculiar. The usual view of Black Island and White Island was strangely different. A long strip of new 'land mass' had settled at their base, with a discernable boundary above and below, and it extended right along the horizon.
Pegasus Air Strip, which can usually only be observed as small dots in the distance on a clear day, towered high and wide, as though brought many miles forward across the ice field. What we were seeing was an immense superior mirage.
The temperature had taken a sudden and dramatic dip from the minus twenties to minus 30. The following week we saw a mirage almost everyday. Sometimes it was a smooth, stable magnified image, or else a distorted mixture of topsy-turvy pictures mirrored along the horizontal axis creating dazzling long symmetrical patterns.
Superior mirages occur due to temperature inversion, when the air below the line of sight is colder than that above and are common in polar regions. The refractive difference between bands of cold and warmer air acts as a lens, bringing forward objects on or beyond the horizon, making them appear larger - an optical effect much like looking through a glass of water. Turbulence in air density may also cause a mirage to dance and change rapidly, a kind known rather poetically as a Fata Morgana, named after the magical shape-shifting sister of King Arthur; but we have yet to see this type.
With the long nights rapidly drawing in, these spectacular displays will soon be invisible to us – but then the Aurora Australis should keep us distracted!

Thank you for the detailed explanation. What a fascinating phenomenon. (Have I spelt that right?).

Since the PeopleSoft implementation in March, YTD totals on paystubs did not include January and February 2012 earnings and deductions. This is because as we transitioned to PeopleSoft, YTD totals from the legacy system had to be converted and tested before being included on paystubs. Testing is complete and YTD totals on November paystubs will reflect current amounts for the 2012 calendar year.

My path is alone, just let me follow
weight of my dreams, doesn't chase me slow
sky so wide , braces me tight
say's its silence, yes, you are ELITE....
Throne of the ocean, awaits me ,dry;
prince of pain being born to CRY
says my light ,blow me off
hands of my hope ,still in cuffs
Voice deep within,shouting so loud!

Path of your dreams ,upon which you fall.

It's a course designed to keep employees safe while they're at work.
The Rochester Business Alliance will present a homeland security workplace violence training seminar from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It will be taught at the Public Safety Training Facility on Scottsville Road.
The registration fee for RBA members is $99 and $150 for future RBA members.
Homeland Security statistics say workplace violence is the leading cause of job related deaths in the U.S. It costs businesses more than $36 billion a year.
The course will be taught by MCC's Homeland Security Management Program Coordinator Guy Rossi, who is retired from the Rochester Police Department.

Now that the holiday season is well and truly behind us and we are all making (and often, breaking) our usual resolutions to eat less, drink less, exercise more, and generally be better human beings, we are presented with an opportunity to glance ahead into the coming year and think about what we expect to see in 2012 (if, like me, you do not believe the Apocalypse rumours).
2011 will be the year that remembers patent wars in the telecommunications industry as being rife, with patents viewed globally as an increasingly large and unnecessary barrier to innovation and commercial competition. But we expect that this pattern will continue throughout 2012, especially with the commercialisation of new technologies, such as the rolling out of 4G, which is likely to bring a whole new wave of litigation with a new cast of actors (and probably some of the old cast too).
New Technologies
Apart from the implementation of 4G, what else can we expect to see in 2012?
IBM recently predicted that by 2017, passwords as a primary means of access will be rendered obsolete:
"Devices to authenticate your identity by biometric means will become commonplace in the next five years and passwords will become a thing of the past."
IBM also predicts that the use of mind control (to operate machinery, as opposed to main-streaming Jedi Mind Tricks) will also begin to soar over the next 5 years. If this is the case, one can expect players in these technological fields to be producing and possibly enforcing vast amounts of mind-control-related IP during 2012.
Of course, no Predictions-About-the-Coming-Year post would be complete without a mention of the Olympics, which is coming to London this summer. Not surprisingly, innovation and IP even got a mention from BBC's Phil Fearnley, general manager at BBC Future Media. In The Guardian, Phil has promised that
"Viewers will see innovations in the way IP and broadcast streams and the way data and video will interact."
and that
"The Olympic Games in London in 2012 will be remembered as the first truly digital Olympics."
We will also see the rise (or demise) of the ultrabook this year, with Intel pushing hard to revolutionise the laptop and PC market in the age of the tablet. We expect some interesting, game-changing technologies to be revealed along the way.
Having seen patent 'reform' in the US in the shape of the America Invents Act, and the Hargreaves Review in the UK (a process mainly focusing on copyright which is still on-going), one can expect that the piles and piles of patent litigation suits between the likes of Google, Oracle, Samsung, HTC and Apple, to name but a few, will only increase the pressure on policy makers to step-up the pace of review of patent laws, on both sides of the Atlantic.
On this side of the Atlantic, much closer to home – at least it is if you don't listen to President Sarkozy – is the potentially imminent birth of the EU patent. The Legal Affairs Committee in December gave its approval for the "EU Patent Package", which includes a unitary patent, a new language regime and a unified patent court. Despite the teething problems which often follow any newly created judicial process, this activity is likely to keep IP firmly in the main stream press during 2012.
Litigation and the Focus on IP
Of course, the Samsung and Apple litigation is set to continue well into 2012, as will the Android-related litigation between HTC, Samsung et al., which is likely to keep the attention of the mainstream press fixed firmly on patents for some time.
For me, one of the most interesting cases to watch in 2012, which has spilled over from 2011, is Oracle v Google. The outcome of this litigation could see Google's Android partners having to pay significant licensing fees to Oracle, or Google may be forced to re-write the Android platform to avoid Java patents. Either outcome would cause a significant stir for Google and manufacturers of Android phones and tablets, not to mention the world of IP. This is of course assuming that Oracle is victorious, which may well not be the case.
2012's Winners and Losers
2011 was a tough year for some of the biggest names. We expect the likes of Apple and Google to continue on their trajectory for world domination without too many snags along the way, but Nokia and RIM are examples of companies to keep a concerned eye on this year.
- Can Nokia's Symbian continue to contribute to the balance sheet?
- Will 2012 see RIM finally RIP?
- And how will Microsoft prevail in the mobile market with Windows 8 when it is up against the ever-growing Android and the so-far-unstoppable iOS?
It is true to say that the most reliable prediction for 2012 is that it is going to be a very interesting year for us here at Tangible IP…
As IP professionals, we are ever hopeful that the commercial world will start to notice on a much broader scale the value and importance of IP to business. During 2012, we will keep on promoting the value of IP strategies and helping our clients realise the maximum value possible from their IP and other intangible assets, whilst patiently waiting for the proverbial light to come on above the opportunities most are missing out on by over-looking their IP.
We hope that the continuing and increasing attention of the main stream press on patents and infringement litigation in the telecommunications industry will eventually serve as a catalyst for IP and turn the attention it receives at board level from being not just a cause for concern, but a valuable commercial asset.
But for now, we wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year. Let the journey begin.

Materials needed:
- A whole lot of Legos, preferably single or double wide, flat pieces, and smooth pieces
- A medium rubberband
- 2 Connecter pins
- 1 long connecter pin
- 2 3x1 pieces with holes in them
- 2 2x1 pieces with holes in them
Step 1: The Candy Holder
Step 2: The "Floor" of the Candy Holder
First, you will need to make the "floor". This is to hold in the candy, but still leave an opening for the candy to fall through. You can see this in pictures 1-6. In picture 7 I showed how to attach it on the bottom.
Part 2 is the part that makes sure no candy gets let behind. It slants so the candy will fall toward the opening. I used slanted pieces stacked on top of each other to achieve this effect. You can see how I built it in pictures 8-13.
i still got mine from Years back.. :P

Dialogue in Multicultural, Multimodal, and Multicompetent Communities of Practice Workshop 2013
Sun, March 24, 2013 • 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM • The University of Texas at Austin
Dialogue 2013
Registration: CLA 1.302A, Glickman Center (Hospitality Room)
We are all users and learners of language, whether it occurs in the native language and culture or another, one of the many modalities of talk (e.g., face-to-face, chat) or in a particular context, venue, or domain.
This conference will focus on questions such as "How can the study of dialogue advance the area of language learning?" and "What can interaction studies in various contexts of multilingualism and multimodalities contribute to our understanding of being multicompetent?". It will examine how Practice Theory (Bourdieu 1977) is used to build links between the work done in areas such as interaction analysis, conversation analysis, dialogue analysis, and ethnography of native speaker production, and that of applied areas such as language acquisition, technology, and communications.
In addition, the metaphor of "communities of practice" (Lave & Wenger 1991; Wenger 1998)–which refers to groups of people who interact due to their involvement in common practices, goals, and interests–will be extended as a focus for study at this conference. As fields such as language acquisition and artificial intelligence are increasingly interested in naturalistic dialogue as a source of rich linguistic and socializing input–as well as a stimulus for cognitive processes that facilitate acquisition–researchers seek to incorporate new ways of looking at dialogue. We hope this conference will be of significant value to all by stimulating discussion among different fields focused on dialogue.

Poulter, Westwood, Gallacher picked for Ryder Cup
VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) -- It was not an easy phone call for European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley -- breaking the news to Luke Donald that he was being left off the team to face the United States at Gleneagles this month.
Donald is a former No. 1 who has lifted the trophy with Europe on each of his four Ryder Cup appearances. But he was the big omission when McGinley picked Stephen Gallacher, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter as his three wild-card selections Tuesday.
"That was a very, very difficult conversation -- my relationship with Luke is very close," said McGinley, who was Donald's playing partner for the Englishman's first Ryder Cup match. "He was very, very disappointed, and rightly so. ...His record in the Ryder Cup stands with anybody in the game."
Donald has one of the best short games in the world and is a brilliant putter, making him a key player in Europe's wins in 2004, '06, '10 and '12.
But he has struggled for form this year after making changes to his swing. Second place at the RBC Heritage in April was his last top-30 finish on the PGA Tour, a shadow of the player who rose to No. 1 and was the leading money-winner on both sides of the Atlantic in 2011.
McGinley said Donald reacted in classy fashion when told he wasn't being selected.
"Even though you have not picked me, I still believe you'll be a great captain," McGinley quoted him as saying. "His last few words were: 'Go Europe.' I think that says a lot about Luke."
McGinley has three rookies in the 12-man team that will face the U.S. in Scotland from Sept. 26-28, with Gallacher joining Victor Dubuisson and Jamie Donaldson.
The other players who qualified automatically for McGinley's team were Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Martin Kaymer, Thomas Bjorn and Graeme McDowell.
McGinley announced his captain's picks at European Tour headquarters at Wentworth hours before U.S. captain Tom Watson was to reveal his.
McGinley said it came down to a choice between Donald and Westwood.

To the guy that said shirt vs skins make no difference, youre wrong.
Rashguards provide a good amount of friction that can help a slippery omoplata. I'm going skins right now because I'm fighting in a little over a week and I won't have a shirt on. Good to see others have similar experiences.
It's not that a rashguard makes so much more friction, but its a noticeable difference.

I hate people who don't wear some type of rashguard its uncomfortable to feel your squishy man breast against my face. I hate tshirts because like it has been said they get tangled. I'm not actually a fan of the gi pants but I agree that they help with triangles and the such. I like long sleeve rashguards though and I may look into getting some shinya aoki style superpants.
I don't like wearing a t-shirt but I do wear a rashguard. I've got a few moles on my back that I'd prefer stay attached.:Determined:

Well just for clarity, I think a rashguard is a good idea for most of the time. Its just that when your fighting and getting close to it, going shirtless helps a little.

Me personally, I prefer gi pants and a tshirt, but this prefrence has only come about as my technial ability has gotten better. And lets face it, as much as I train, I wear my gi more than the monkey suit that I have to wear during the week.

...That was the one...: I commend you on publishing a piece on comedy in St. Louis and especially for featuring a female comedian. What disappoints me is your particular choice of comedian. There are many people in the St. Louis area trying to succeed in the business. I attend the Funny Bone's open mic on a fairly regular basis, and while many of the comedians on that stage are hit-or-miss (it is an open mic, after all), I have seen some talent that definitely deserves greater recognition. I saw Brie Johnson's performance at the Funny Bone last spring, and it just wasn't impressive. Granted, she may have just had a bad night, but I've seen countless other comedians deliver a better show on a consistent basis.
Her focus appears to be on her ass and not her comedy. For someone who claims to be getting ahead on pure talent rather than sexual appeal, I find it ironic that the majority of her accompanying photos were done topless or in suggestive poses. If you are really interested in featuring great aspiring local comedians, I suggest you check out the following: Jeremy Essig, Ken Jr., Arvin Mitchell, Gabe Kia and especially these female comedians: Andi Smith, Janine Brito and Nikki Glaser. I hope that in the future you will make an attempt to showcase the best talent and not just the "biggest ass."
Lauren O'Niell
...I was going to tell! Where do I begin? Julie Seabaugh must know this girl Brie Johnson as a deep, personal friend to write such a long story and give her such a huge spread in the Riverfront Times. I saw her act last night at the Improv and it sucked! I am not making this statement to be mean or a "playa hater"; it really sucked. The crowd was mixed. If there were 50 black people, there were about 15 to 20 white people, and she still sucked. She was on stage for three minutes! The article mentioned that she has to know her audience, but if the crowd is mixed, then you have a 50-50 chance of winning the majority.
I really question her as a comedian. I mean, to read jokes (if you can call them that) in a newspaper article and then to hear them on stage loses its appeal. Unless, of course, the person has earned their comedic stripes and/or the joke is just really funny. But I venture to say that she has no strong arsenal of comedic material. I mean, does she tell that "My daddy might be black, my last name is Johnson" joke at every venue? Come on! And speaking of that, she builds her image on being a white girl with a "ghetto" booty (which I find offensive, seeing that I know a plethora of black people with big or healthy behinds that have never lived in the ghetto, but anyway I digress). The booty thing is tired. I mean, that is a norm for African Americans, who by the way do not all have big butts. Just like many whites have big noses, blacks have big butts big deal! That material gets old.
Chris Rock, Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle are intelligent; that's not to say that Brie isn't. They have insight and a handle on human nature. They study their material and then deliver. They also speak (or spoke) on issues that truly effect race and how that affects policy, mentality, bureaucracy, capitalism, etc. And they made it relative and funny. Connecting with black people because you have a round ass is ridiculous. I mean, do whites think blacks are that simplistic and superficial? Hell, no! We come to relax, have a good time and to release tension that we tend to armor ourselves with to face the world. I know comedy doesn't have to entirely be academic, but to pick a topic that is a staple of another race's dialogue and turn that into a comedy routine just has no merit to me. This "comedy" is also indicative of how tired St. Louis is. I don't know why black people make a big deal about someone of another race having "black" blood. I could come up with a few possibilities, but that is another subject for another time.
I was very disappointed with Brie Johnson. A friend I was with said he didn't think she even tried. And the fact that people pass her a business card doesn't necessarily mean she is great; she may be a means to their end. The last comic, a white guy who was hilarious (and not because he is married to a black girl but because he knew how to deliver and be funny), said that word of mouth is the best form of advertisement. If that is true, Brie is in trouble. I am waiting to see the Brie that Michael Roberts Jr. said he has never seen anything like. Is he kidding (or again, is this a means-to-an-end deal)?
By the way, I liked Seabaugh's article from a literary/review perspective. As biased as it seemed, the article was better than the stand-up. Yikes!

...(1) The peripheral RAS is downregulated, and the uteroplacental RAS is upregulated in this rat model of preeclampsia; (2) MBG is involved in the causation of these alterations, and (3) RBG prevents these changes...
So you can block some of the changes in the kidneys. In rats. :-)
The renin-angiotensin system, which they're abbreviating to RAS here, is a way the kidneys control blood pressure. The kidneys produce renin, which gets converted to angiotensin, which raises blood pressure. In preeclamptics it looks like the placenta is producing chemicals which directly muck about with this system. In this animal model (so cool! we have a working animal model now! yay!) it was possible to *block* one of the chemicals being produced by the placenta, which blocked all the changes it made to the RAS.
So in the very long run, this might turn into some sort of treatment. (Very, very long run. Don't wait to get pregnant in the hopes that this might be effective therapy in the future, because it isn't anywhere near to that well understood -- just because it blocks this particular pathway doesn't mean it will stop PE, which operates along multiple pathways -- or safe for use in humans for that matter.)

One of the great things about living in a small town is that you feel like you know everyone's story. But do we really? Most of us have something that we only tell to a few people. Often, that something has to do with a way that we could use some help in our lives. But asking for help can be hard.

When we lived in the Seattle area for several years, I learned why they call it the Emerald City. It rains! The grass is always green! And the city boasts some 6000 park acres. Actually, the winner of a Convention and Visitor's Bureau contest coined the name in the early 1980s. It correlates with the state nickname, the Evergreen State.

COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City will honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice with a parade Monday.
The event, which begins at 10:30 a.m., will be sponsored by the American Legion.
Line-up for the parade will be on Walnut Street by Eagle Tech Academy.
From there, the parade will proceed down Van Buren Street. It will turn onto Madison Street and end at Greenhill Cemetery.
At the cemetery, the names of local soldiers who have died while serving the country will be read.
COLUMBIA CITY — Concerns for better bids outweighed potential flooding worries for the Whitley County Consolidated Schools Board of School Trustees (WCCS).
Despite the possibility of flooding in Columbia City High School, the district decided to rebid the sewer repair project rather than accept the bid from the one company that submitted one.
A lack of price information was the principle reason for the rebid. Business Manager Tony Zickgraff said with only one company biding on the project this past year, there were not enough facts to go forward.
Whitley County Consolidated Schools (WCCS) held a reception for teachers and staff retiring from the district this year.
Left, George Petersen, who taught for 20 years and is retiring from Indian Springs Middle School, speaks with Reisa Snyder, who taught for 28 years and is retiring from Columbia City High School.
COLUMBIA CITY — The Whitley County Farmers Market has been a mainstay for many years.
The market provided fresh produce and an array of crafts for people interested in healthy-food alternatives as well as unique crafts that have been custom-designed and made in Northeast Indiana.
Chris Lilly, head market master for the last four years, was the guest speaker Tuesday at the Columbia City Rotary Club meeting.
He was joined by Jane Loomis, an organic farmer who provides fresh produce and food products at the market.
COLUMBIA CITY – As the weather turns warmer, the amount of recycling generated in the county is increasing.
According to Dwayne Knott, Whitley Environmental owner and the recycling contractor, the county's recycling participants had seemed to level off at about 70 to 75 percent, but he is seeing that number swell to 85 percent.
"Our guys have been slammed these past two circulations," Knott said.
"It's a good problem to have. As it gets nicer out, people are cleaning up. That generates more recycling."
FORT WAYNE — Churubusco's Austin McClure was the regional champion Thursday night at Wayne High School.
McClure heaved the shot put 51 feet, 9 inches to garner the title and earn his ticket to the state track meet May 31 in Bloomington.
McClure is the lone Whitley County boys trackster to head to state — along with four girls — including fellow 'Busco thrower Katie Monk.
Monk is advancing in the discus.
McClure also competed in the discus, placing 13th with a throw of 120 feet, 2 inches.
HUNTERTOWN — Even under the pressure of the win-or-go-home sectional playoffs, pitcher Jordan Bickle continued to do what he's been doing all season — striking out opposing batters and pitching a lot of innings.
Bickle helped the Columbia City Eagles baseball team defeat the DeKalb Barons 5-1 Thursday night at Carroll High School in the first round of sectional play.
Bickle, the tall, hard-throwing right-hander, fanned 10 Baron batters in a complete game, his fourth outing of the year with double-digit strikeouts.
SOUTH WHITLEY — Some of Whitko High School's students will have their artwork displayed in a 2014 calendar.
The Electric Consumer recently hosted its 16th Annual Student Calendar Contest for 2014.
The contest provides young Hoosier artists an opportunity to express themselves and develop their artistic talent while possibly earning cash prizes and state-wide acclaim.
The contest is open to grade levels kindergarten through 12th.
(May 24, 2013) -- The toddler who drowned in a Whitley County pool Tuesday morning has been identified as Gilbert M. Strader, 2, of Fort Wayne. A Fort Wayne funeral home confirmed that the toddler was the son of Cole Strader and Emily Underwood of Fort Wayne.
Reports show that Strader drowned in a pool at his grandparents home, Phil and Elaine Smock, of Columbia City.
After visiting Vietnam for two weeks, Tim Davis, a Vietnam War veteran, received a hero's welcome Monday night at New Hope Wesleyan Church where he is a member.
When he originally returned home from the war in 1968, the homecoming was anything but welcoming.
However, 45 years later, Davis was ushered from Fort Wayne International Airport to New Hope Wesleyan in a motorcade of family, friends and supporters.
At the church, Davis was greeted by more supporters, as well as state and city leaders eager to show their appreciation.

Created: 01/16/2013 12:13 PM KSTP.com By: Hannah Anderson
I watched a very interesting movie on Blu-Ray this past weekend called "Game Change" from HBO Home Entertainment.
"Game Change" is about John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and is based off of the book with the same name. It was written by Danny Strong and directed by Jay Roach whom haves won a 2005 Emmy for the HBO film "Recount." Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman were the executive producers for the film as well.
"Game Change "shows us what went on behind the scenes of the 2008 McCain presidential campaign. The film starts out in 2010 with Steve Schmidt who is a Senior Campaign Strategist, being interviewed by Anderson Cooper and Steve is telling the story of what went on during McCain's campaign with Sarah Palin.
The film is a flashback of what went on during McCain's campaign and it really focuses on why he chose Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate and all of the challenges that they both faced during the election.
I really thought the story was great, because I really didn't know that much about why McCain chose Sarah Palin and the events that led up to John choosing her. I don't know how accurate the film is, but I also learned that Sarah Palin had to go through a lot of preparation when she did interviews and public speaking.
"Game Change" has an amazing cast and I felt that all of the actors did an amazing job playing their roles and also looking like the people they were portraying. Ed Harris played John McCain and did an amazing job.
You would swear that it was John McCain. Julianne Moore played Sarah Palin and I thought she looked exactly like her as well. Woody Harrelson played Steve Schmidt and he did an excellent job as well.
Some of the other cast members include Ron Livingston, Peter MacNicol, Sarah Paulson, Jamey Sheridan and Bruce Altman. In my opinion the casting director did an excellent job with their choices of actors.
The review copy of "Game Change" that I received from HBO Home Entertainment contained the Blu-ray disc, a DVD copy of the film, and a code for a digital copy of the film. I thought that this was great, because you could watch the movie if you were traveling or if you didn't have access to a Blu-ray player.
There are two special features on the DVD that I thought were very interesting and entertaining. The first one was called "Creating the Candidate." This contained interviews with political experts such as Ed Rollins, Gloria Borger, Karen Tumulty, Dana Bash and Jessica Yellin.
They talked about all of the different and unique characteristics that people must have to run for president.
The second feature is called "Game Change: The Phenomenon." This was very interesting because more political experts talked about the election controversy. The directors of the film and writers of the book talk about the process of converting the book into a movie.
I really liked HBO Home Entertainment's "Game Change" a lot. I thought the story was interesting and the actors did an amazing job. "Game Change" is about 129 minutes long and is rated TV-MA.
I would highly recommend "Game Change" to anyone that is interested in seeing what went on behind the scenes of John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.

Basic Usage of MVVM-Light
- Intialize the DispatcherHelper in the App.cs file's Application_Startup function
- Create ViewModels from the BaseClass
- Always Create a ViewModelLocator class, which contains all your view models and is Linked in your application Resources
- Use RelayCommands to expose Functions to your view
- Learn when to use the DispatchHelper.
Clean-Up Ideas:
- When appropriate, add to your ViewModel to clear your DomainContext's EntitySet on Cleanup()?
- Call your ViewModelLocator's CleanupSomeVM() function to clear viewmodels when they are no longer actively needed in the application.
I would love to hear from others about when/how you use CleanUp functions. As my application grows, I do feel the need to add some cleanup functions to better manage client memory usage.
For Blendability:
- Abstract the Service / Query Implementations to an Interface.
- Create 2 classes for each Service Implementation classes (1 for Design, 1 for Production)
- Within your each ViewModel, implement its own Service Class (use IsInDesignMode) to create Blendable Service implementations as necessary.
- Use a Static variable to hold your DomainContext within the Service Implmentation Class.
- Add DispatcherHelper.Initialize() in constructor of ViewModels, but only when in Design Mode. Blend does not load App when loading a page, and this works around that.
For Added Business Logic:
- Add Business Logic in the Model first, then in the ViewModel.
- Use the Model's partial methods to add logic for appropriate change / update events.
- Add Read-Only properties (only getter) to provide summary and calculated values on your model.
For Views:
- Always Bind the root to the Locator Object.
- Try to keep code-behind logic to layout or custom UI logic only. Avoid referencing your ViewModel.
For Collections:
- Use CollectionViewSource for collections in your ViewModels, with a source of the DomainContext's EntitySet
- Apply all Filtering, Sorting, and Grouping Logic to the CollectionViewSource in your ViewModel.
- After ServiceCalls, Call .View.Refresh() on your CollectionViewSource objects as necessary to update the UI.
For ViewModel coordination (Controller Logic)
- Use Messages sparingly, too much complexity can be difficult to manage.
- Use the NotificationMessage and PropertyChangedMessage classes to Send/Receive with.
For RIA DomainServices:
- Implement any logging in the persist changes function, not the update/insert/delete logic.
- During Insert,Update,Delete functions, if you need to reference another Entity via Navigation Property, either check the EntityStatus first, or load the entity from another Context, to prevent EntityStatus conflicts.
For Debugging / Testing:
- Check the Output Window for Binding Errors and Fix them. Binding Errors fail silently to the user, but degrade application performance and expected behavior.
- Create Unit Tests in Silverlight to verify any added Model / Business Logic
- Create Unit Test project to test server-side logic and functions
For Entity Framework:
- Keep 1-to-1 Match of EntitiesContext to Domain Service. Trying to split this another way causes issues.
- Do NOT use the [Composition] attribute unless you fully intend to spend a lot of time carefully building your Insert, Update, and Delete logic.
- Use a separate service to serve custom types back to your RIA Client. Do not add them to your DomainService for your EntityFramework Object
- Perform Server-side update/integration logic (such as updating other systems) in the PersistChangeSet function, not in the Insert, Update, Delete functions. This will prevent you from accidentally pulling in an entity via Navigation Properties, which will leave your detached version non-updated.
- Create an additional Context to find current values during update/integration logic.

Pretty Little Liars Burning Question: Where Is Jason?
On Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 8: "Stolen Kisses" we learned that Jason (Drew Van Acker) is MIA after his dramatic car crash in Season 3, Episode 7: "Crazy," and apparently he won't be in Season 3, Episode 9: "The Kahn Game," either.
That raises the question: Where exactly has he gone? We know his car has also disappeared, but beyond that, there aren't a lot of clues about what he's up to. Read on for our top four theories about his disappearance — and then we want to know what you think!
He is trying to find out about Ali's body: Remember, Jason (Drew Van Acker) did end up writing a giant check to a mystery person, theoretically for info on the whereabout of Alison's (Sasha Pieterse) body. Maybe he's following up on that.
He is trying to find evidence against Garrett: Jason seems just as convinced of Garrett's guilt as the Liars, and, being part of the NAT club, he might actually know something about how and why Garrett might have been involved with Ali's disappearance and death. While drunk, he rambled about being in jail with Garrett and guilty people getting their dues. Maybe he has made it his mission to keep Garrett behind bars.
He's been kidnapped: Hey, it wouldn't be the first time someone has been forcibly dragged off in Rosewood. We just hope he's okay!
He really is just getting his car fixed: Maybe Toby (Keegan Allen) is right … But we kind of doubt it.
Catch an all-new episode of PLL on Tuesday, August 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Windows 8.1 - display problem
Installed Windows 8.1 and the trillian display window(s) do not show properly.
For instance : when you move the mouse curser over the task bar it shows the chat window as a spinning circle.
Move mouse over that window and on the screen it will show two identical chat windows but both under different resolutions. One the text is super crisp and the other is bloated and almost out of focus.
Uninstalled/reinstalled trillian and same problem.
Restarted laptop as well
Unknown how to fix
That's not a problem I have seen before. Would you mind sending screenshots of what you are seeing so that I can pass it along to a developer for review?
I had this issue too, its to do with the rewrite of how chrome is handled in windows 8.1.
Trillian is not the only program that has this issue but it is more visable in trillian than other programs.
I not 100% sure what affects it but it appears to either be multiple monitor systems or using the "change the size of all items" from 100% to something else.
The workround is to right click the desktop -> screen resoultion.
Choose "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
In there tick the box that says "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays"
Press Apply
This fixes the issue up but might cause un desired effects if you monitors are different resolutions.
Hope this helps.
I have the same kind of problem with windows 8.1. When I try to do an insert screen capture, because of the "make text and other items smaller" setting that is recommended for my laptop (lenovo yoga 2 pro), it doesn't pick the place I am trying to capture, as though the zoom level is making the calibration off, or something to that effect. If I put it on the smallest (100% magnification) setting, the screen capture works properly but my screen items are way too small to use properly, so that isn't an acceptable solution for me.

Mission Statement
TMA is dedicated to uplifting the quality of life in impoverished areas of the Thane District of India. We accomplish this through programs in education, health and economic development that lead to self-sufficiency.
TMA Launching Renewable Energy ProjectSubmitted by Pat on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 09:26
The continuing escalation in demand for energy in rural India has serious consequences, especially in terms of air quality, resrouces, and access to energy. The need to ensure sustainable development requires not only combating climate change but also eradicating energy poverty and securing energy supply.
One part of the solution is use of solar-powered LED lanterns. These lanterns are expensive to purchase so TMA, partnering with Partners in Green Development (PGD), proposes establishing a fund to purchse the parts to manufacture the items locally. The enerprise, managed by a women's self-help group in Nimboli, Thane District, will provide work for youth in a culture where jobs are scarce.

Jeanette's StorySubmitted by Pat on Sun, 03/29/2009 - 17:18
"In the heat of the afternoon, ten women from the old sewing class came over to see me. Of course, with my very limited Marathi and their limited English, communication was sparse.
I asked them if either of the teachers had called them over since there were ten of them. They said no.
We were all a little frustrated not to know what the other was saying so we called a friend who speaks both languages. He found out that they came over to see how I was and if they could borrow two pair of scissors from our supply.
I invited them to have Chai tea with me but they declined. Instead they told me to follow them to Nimboli. We entered one lady's home. Here they had been meeting and sewing ever since the Principal Teacher put his old sewing machines in her house. They each had been working on a project and seemed very happy. Read more...

After an electoral shellacking and exit polls that show the vast majority of Americans are on Barack Obama's side when it comes to the major issues of the day, Paul Ryan is headed back to Congress convinced that he espouses "very popular ideas" and calling the 2012 results "a very close election."
With this mind-set Ryan is prepping to turn the "fiscal cliff" austerity debate to the advantage of the Social Security bashers and Medicare slashers.
A reality check is in order.
Ryan Loses His State, County, City, and Precinct -- Twice
While Ryan won his Congressional seat in a deeply Republican corner of Wisconsin, he failed in his main job -- to deliver Wisconsin for Romney. He not only lost the state of Wisconsin, he lost his home county, lost his home city, and even lost his precinct in both the presidential and Congressional races (no word yet on how his next door neighbors voted.) Ryan, who has never had a race of any significance, finally had his ideas and his record exposed and voters did not like what they learned. His support in the Congressional race took a 14 point slide over his 2010 -- one of the worst performances in the nation.
As for a close election -- not so much. The Romney/Ryan ticket is running about 3.4 million votes behind Obama, in the 47 percent zone. Turns out Romney is the president of the 47 percent, not Obama. To put the numbers in perspective, Barack Obama has won more popular votes than any Democratic candidate for president in history -- except Barack Obama in 2008. With far fewer votes in 2004, George W. Bush declared a "mandate" and crassly boasted of his "political capital."
Ryan Lost the War of Ideas
Ryan not only took a shellacking, his ideas did too. Raising taxes on the rich and taking a "balanced" approach to deficit reduction was a key message of the Obama stump speech. Senator Dick Durbin (D-Il.) has it right when he says the election was a "straight up" referendum on raising taxes on the rich, and Ryan lost that vote. 60 percent of voters said in exit polls that taxes should increase, either for everyone or those making over $250,000. More people liked that idea than voted for Obama. Even William Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, has positive things to say about the idea. But Ryan is pretty sure it is not time to raise taxes on the richest Americans -- that would "hurt the economy."
Ryan also told a Wisconsin reporter that the GOP had a winning message on Medicare. "I don't think we lost it on those budget issues, especially on Medicare -- we clearly didn't lose it on those issues." More alt-reality from the House Budget Committee chair. Medicare was the topic of more campaign commercial than any other. While voters may be divided about Obamacare, they were pretty clear on Medicare. In exit polling released by the AFL-CIO, "reduce spending on Medicare and Social Security to bring down the budget deficit" drew support from just 18 percent of voters nationwide.
Ryan will be relying on his reputation as a deficit hawk as he joins John Boehner and Eric Canter on the fiscal cliff negotiating team. But this reputation has been shredded by a steady stream of contradictory positions. Economist Paul Krugman notes: "Mr. Ryan's alleged plans to reduce the deficit were obvious flimflam, since he was proposing huge tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations while refusing to specify how these cuts would be offset. But in the eyes of the deficit scolds, his plan to dismantle Medicare and his savage cuts to Medicaid apparently qualified him as a fiscal icon."
The icon may have been greeted by a standing ovation at a caucus meeting this week, but he has lost some of his swagger.
Hyping the Cliff Myth
Already the GOP and the media are hyping what Ben Bernanke has dubbed a "fiscal cliff" -- a January 1, 2013 self-imposed deadline for working out a deal on how to tackle the deficit. If Congress fails to act, $1.2 trillion in spending cuts and tax hikes will start to phase in (prompting many to call it a "slope" not a cliff). The Bush tax cuts will expire for all Americans, not just for the top wage earners, which includes a hefty hike for the middle class. While the Defense Department will be subject to cuts, Social Security and Medicare are exempt from this deal.
In many ways this is a less frightening scenario than the threat that looms in the background -- Simpson-Bowles. The austerity package prepared by the White House deficit commission and embraced by President Obama is now looking pretty good to the GOP. It has the aura of bi-partisanship, but it actually bites hard on the life-saving programs Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Among other things, the plan calls for cutting Social Security by 3 percent and phasing in an increase in the normal retirement age to 69.
Which is why progressive University of Texas economist Jamie Galbraith is saying of the cliff: "Don't panic. This is not a moment for high drama. This is a moment for no drama." Krugman says, "let's not make a deal" and an increasing number of people are becoming "cliff divers." Going over the cliff is not perfect, "but it may be necessary," explains former White House budget director Peter Orszag, who thinks cliff diving will produce better policy options in the end.
If the United States is facing a crisis, it is a jobs crisis and a revenue crisis. Continued unemployment and two rounds of Bush tax cuts are depressing the economy and costing the nation hundreds of billions in lost revenues each year adding to the deficit. Investments to rapidly decrease unemployment would be one of the best fixes possible.
"Magic Moment" or "Austerity Bomb?"
Ideologues like Ryan and wealthy Wall Street financiers like Erskine Bowles are salivating at the "magic moment" posed by the faux crisis (Bowles actually said that). But Bowles-Ryan magic means painful austerity for the rest of us.
So far, Obama is saying the right things. On Tuesday, the president talked to labor leaders and other liberal groups about keeping their staff and campaign structure running, indicating an interest to take the austerity fight outside the beltway. Labor, which was essential to winning Ohio, Wisconsin and other battleground states, assured the White House "we have your back." On Wednesday, the president claimed a mandate in the most positive terms: "I have got one mandate. A mandate to help middle class families and families working hard to get into the middle class. That's my mandate... The American people just work really hard to see if help us get ahead because we are working hard out here and we are still struggling."
Obama said repeatedly yesterday that he is open to "new ideas" for raising revenue. (What about a Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street, Mr. President? There is a new idea that would generate billions each year for jobs and health care.)
But while Obama said he would stand firm on making sure the Bush tax cuts expire for the wealthiest (making a huge dent in the deficit), he did not make the same pledge to defend Medicare and Social Security. Previously, Obama had endorsed an unacceptable 5-to-2 ratio of cuts to revenues in a deficit deal. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) is worried. He is one of 29 Senators who signed a letter to the president in September asking him to "oppose including Social Security cuts for future or current beneficiaries in any deficit reduction package."
Stay tuned and in the meantime strap on the parachute.

I agree with your comments, and glad the majority of Americans were not fooled!
Teriqua Jones replied on Permalink
Are you kidding??
Paul Ryan is not a communist. Our country would be better off if we had him in a higher position in government. I am still shocked that Romney and Ryan did not win the election. The blind adherence to our two-party system really worked against us. Did you even watch the debates, or just vote straight Democrat? Things are changing, Americans need to pay attention!
America voted to give Barack Hussein Obama a second term; that is a huge mistake. Obama is trying to destroy our great nation and some idiots gave him 4 more years to finish what he already started. The people who voted for Obama are responsible for the demise of the greatest country in the world. Idiots!!

Paul Ryan
The problem with Paul Ryan is that he really believes he is a financial expert, which he isn't, and believes his own lies, as documented by Fact
Check and surprising by FOX News (which isn't news).
During my 43 years of service with the US Army, I've seen enough of his type, who come and go, all reminding me of the drunk blow hard Joe McCarthy.
Ryan will end up sitting on a curb somewhere, spitting down a sewer. In the meantime, We the People, should do to Ryan what Barry Goldwater recommended we do to Jerry Falwell, that being: " Kick him in his A--."

Lyin Ryan!
The New Right of Paul Weyrich has only had a set-back - nothing more. They will continue their struggle to rid our country of Democracy for their Theocratic/Oligarchy until they do it. They were so close, they could taste it! The Austerity Agenda is Never going to work as long as there are people on this earth; but, they truly believe they can and will. Today, right NOW, there are millions in the streets in Europe fighting against Austerity and we have yet to raise our voices in support. Yes, the news is controlled by the New Right; but, come now, we all have access to the web and should know what's going on by now. To debate the lies of Ryan is just another ploy to keep us from centering on them. Realize now before the next election what we are really facing because it will not get easier...their ALEC boilerplated laws will continue to erode our Democracy, rights, & freedoms. If the New Right does NOT comply with the majority of the American People, it is up to us to make them!

raising revenue
Along with raising taxes on those making over $250,000, what about Congressmen getting a lifetime of income and health insurance even if they are only in Congress a term or two? How many millions have been spent over the generations to support them? We have to work years to get Social Security and invest in a retirement plan to have enough to live on after we retire. My husband and I have to work to 70 to get enough SS with our savings to live until 85+ (based on our family longevity). We already pay over $400 a month for my husband's retirement insurance to cover us both. Why should congressmen get income and insurance for life? Why not set it up like STRS, PERS, SERS is?- Work 30 years and then draw the benefits. If they don't get re-elected, well so be it. When mainstream Americans lose their jobs, they don't get paid for life and continued health insurance. Instead they end up moving in with relatives or living on the street when they can't find another job and lose their houses. I know, I know - they are public servants. Well, personally and as a social worker, I don't see we have been served all that well by a Congress that put their agenda to get rid of Obama over what is truly best for our citizens.

Hikers can explore the nature trail, which winds through maritime forest and salt marsh. A boat ramp is popular with anglers who often take to the water before sunrise. Visitors may venture to the nearby ruins of the tabby McIntosh Sugar Works mill, built around 1825 and later used as a starch factory during the Civil War. Nearby is the ferry to famous Cumberland Island National Seashore known for wild horses and mansion ruins.
