In case you missed it earlier this week Google confirmed that it licensed a search algorithm and hired the algorithm's creator, Ori Allon, a 26 year old PhD student from the University of New South Wales. The basic concept behind the new search engine is that it extracts portions of a web page that are most relevant to a given query and returns that relevant text. It also provides results for keywords related to the original keywords. There has been a lot of speculation going on about what this means for Google and search and I thought I would add my thoughts to the mix.
I've been reading as many articles as I could find about the new algorithm and have posted links to some at the bottom of this post. The algorithm is part of the Orion search engine and before anyone jumps to any conclusions this new algorithm isn't anything that will be replacing the current Google algorithm anytime soon. So what does this new search algorithm do?
The Orion Search Algorithm
So what is it that Orion does? According the the original Press Release from last September Orion finds pages where the content is about a topic strongly related to the keyword. Ok don't all search engines do that or at least try to? Orion then returns a section of those pages and lists other topics related to the keyword so the user can pick the most relevant. By returning the text it extracts Orion will let you see more of a page without having to click on the link to find out what it's about. The results for other related keywords will give you additional information you may not have thought to ask about which could be very useful when researching a particular topic. Kind of like asking the librarian for a book and getting a excerpts of other books you may find relevant along with the book you first requested.
Very useful stuff here though in all honestly not entirely new. Most search engines give you a portion of the page it considers relevant as part of the results. And many search engines will provide related words you might want to search for and let you see sites related to the ones in the results. Apparently though Orion does this better. And it provides more relevant text from web pages than any search engine does currently.
How Google Might Incorporate Orion
Like I mentioned there's mostly speculation where Orion is concerned at the moment. And again this isn't anything that will be replacing the current Google algorithm we've all grown to either love or hate, depending on where our sites appear for our favorite keywords. There are some ways that Google might use this new algorithm to improve it's own.
Google can use the algorithm simply to display better descriptions for the sites in the results pages. I really like Google and have always felt I got relevant sites to my searches, but I've never been all that crazy about the descriptions I see below the links. Google will sometimes use the meta description or the description for the DMOZ listing if there is one, but most of the time there's some incomplete sentences with my keywords highlighted. Generally not the most useful information and I've often clicked on pages that barely had anything to do with my search.
Orion can perhaps be used simply for the text it extracts to provide better information about a given site before having to click on the link. This would allow searchers to eliminate a few more irrelevant links and even better find what they want on the first try. While that might mean less overall traffic for many sites it will generally mean more targeted traffic for all sites. The extra text would keep people on the Google site longer which will certainly appeal to anyone who may end up advertising on those results pages like AdWords subscribers and some may see that as bad for web sites other than Google and it's advertisers. If it helps me determine which of the 10 links on the page has the best chance of having the information I want I'm all for it.
If Orion is good really good at determining how closely pages are related to each other then maybe Orion could be used after the initial Google algorithm to reorganize some of the results into more relevant groups. Essentially running the Google results through Orion. Often search results will yield pages that we weren't looking for though someone else using the same query might find relevant. For example if someone searches with the query 'computer repair' are they looking for sites that offer computer repair services or are they looking for information as to how they can repair their own computer. Maybe the related functionality of Orion will be able to cluster the results into different subcategories to queries helping searchers zero in on the sites they want. This might be offered as a separate service to the basic search.
Taking the clustering concept further it might be possible to let searchers seed their queries either by providing additional information or automatically through the use of past searches as a way to personalize search results. I'm more of a do it yourselfer so chances are I was looking for the information to repair my own computer. Knowing this either by asking me or knowing more about my past searches might enable Google to provide results more relevant to me and a different set of results that would be more relevant to someone else. Could Orion be the part of the solution to personalized search that so many search experts see as the future of search?
Given that Orion also provides results to other related keywords it's certainly possible that it's main use will be to help less skilled searches in providing them results related to their query that they may otherwise not have found themselves. Not everyone who goes to Google is an expert searcher and helping them get results that an expert searcher might would attract them to Google and keep them loyal. Kind of like having that librarian there with you when you look for information for your research paper.
How about an idea that's probably more from my own imagination than anything found in the current information. If Orion is really good at determining other related keywords could those keywords somehow be used to form a concept of a theme for a particular query. For example that searcher looking for information on computer repair might also be interested in results for specific computer parts like motherboards or CPUs. Is it possible this new algorithm can look beyond the page and at the site as a whole to determine how much of a theme the site has and whether a site that also contains pages on motherboards and CPUs and soldering chips might end up being more relevant than a single page on computer repair on a site that otherwise features content on general electronic repair. I admit this is some creative speculation on my part.
The truth is the only known quantities are that Google has hired Ori Allon and has also purchased the Orion Search Algorithm. Outside of the original September 2005 press release most everything is speculation. I doubt we'll be seeing any major changes to Google or it's algorithm anytime soon and all of this could have just been a way to keep both Ori and his algorithm away from Microsoft as they were apparently interested in the technology. Google may have been more interested in Ori than in his algorithm and purchasing it was a way to ensure his employment.
In any even it's fun to speculate from time to time and from me this was one of those times. Please keep in mind that most of this post is pure speculation on my part. Perhaps more to do with what I'd like to see from Google than anything the Orion algorithm can do. Feel free to comment with your own ideas about how the Orion algorithm may be incorporated into Google or just in how you thinking Google and search in general might be improved.

Went here on a tuesday night after dinner around 8pm. The wait was only 10 mins which gave us time to explore the place. As soon as you walk in you are in chocolate heaven. The place is like a modern willy wonka's factory. Machines churning chocolate, pipes with chocolate flowing thru them it totally sets the mood. We ordered the sharring which is a little bit of everything you get a waffle with your choice of ice cream flavor , your choice of chocolate sauce flavor and it all come in seperate containers so you can put as little or as much as you want on it. The waffle is topped with the ripest bananas and candied nuts. On the same plate you get a fun little beeker filled with the ganache of your choice topped with pop rocks candies as well as a piece of a hazlenut chocolate bar. That is just the first part the second part of the sharring is chocolate fondue your choice of flavor served with strawberries and bananas as well as marshmallows to roast in the open flame you are provided with. This a great choice to get if you really can't decide on one choice. We only had water to drink as we did not want to be on chocolate overload. But we did purchase white hot chocolate mix to take home with us. The service was excellent up until it was time to get the check we kind of waited a little bit for the check but it gave us time to digest what we just had devoured. I wanted to go back the next night to eat because I was dreaming about it in my sleep. Definitely make the trip here

I enjoy good chocolate, and was intrigued to try Max Brenner with my three friends today. Terrifically atmospheric, I felt I stepped into a magical world of chocolatey sin, and continued to have high hopes upon being seated. I knew that Max Brenner was expensive, but was willing to give the "Chocolate Mess for One" a go for $12.70. I shouldn't have done that. Composed of warm brownie batter, ice cream, caramel, bananas, chocolate bits, and way too much whipped cream, this killer made me feel unpleasant after about ten bites; that's how cloying it was. My friends, who had ordered the Eskimo ice cream dish and the banana split waffles, were equally overwhelmed. I don't know; a bit too much for me, and I eat a lot!
Posted by Chiseled on 03/09/2007
When me and my girlfriend walked in we were pretty impressed by the decor. Max Brenner is a chocolate lovers dream. Pipes are run throughout the place which lead to the bar and instead of beer, chocolate comes out (Thought that was pretty cool). Just had dessert which was pretty good, we split Fondue. If your looking for a fun place after dinner or to meet up with friends this is a great place.

Went here for dinner on a wed at 7:45pm with no wait. Staff were polite and cheerful, but service was a little slow, and worse no water refills. Then to clutch it, they threw out my 1/2 sandwich that I asked to wrap (was saving room for dessert). The waffle and french toast sandwiches were pretty good though, but really just like a normal open faced sandwich. We 3 shared the invidual chocolate mess w/ toffee bananas. It was pretty good, but way too much whipped cream and not enough ice cream (which mostly melted and cooled off the chocoalte cake by the time we got it). It had a lot going on, but it was well... a mess. I would go back to try the chocolate soup if nearby and in the mood for a waffle-sandwich.
Posted by Food Connoisseur on 02/19/2007
My girlfriend and I have been to max Brenner a couple of times and like the place and its concept. If you are a choclate lover you should at least try this place. We have eaten the peanut butter crepe and the choclate soup and really enjoyed them both. Choclate Soup is a reverse fondue. The soup comes with marshmallows, choclate crispys and fruit and one is supposed to put it into the soup and then eat it like a soup. It is a great idea and divine. My problem with the place is that the dessert menu is not as innovative as I would thought it would be. I go to max Brenner to have something that I can't find anywhere else and I don't see much of that on the menu. The staff needs to be more creative and then I'll go back for more. It is worth at least one visit and then you can decide if it is worth the hype or not.

Unless you wanna spend 15 dollars on a sip of hot chocolate and a bite size waffle, I suggest going elsewhere. I came here with 5 friends of mine on a saturday night and was quite disappointed. They told us they couldnt seat a party of six so we sat (well some of us stood) in the front and got our food from carry out. Unfortunately the carry out counter is a huge disater--no forks, no ice cream, no whipped cream, and no menus...and very poor and rude service. Yes the place smells good and the food is decent, but it is overpriced and nothing special. I should have read these reviews before hand so I would've know to "Skip Max"!
Posted by Gina on 02/16/2007
There were 3 hostesses but still couldn't handle the amount of ppl that were waiting. There were a bunch of empty tables yet it took them so long to seat the customers. One of them didn't seem like she was putting much effort in calling out the names. You could bearly hear her and she didnt even walk to the back where they told ppl to wait. I've been waiting for an 1hr 1/2 by the area where they were taking names and had asked to see how much longer it would take. Sounding like she was annoyed, the hostess said that we called you an hour ago and said that we have to take care of some ppl that are ahead of you first. I noticed this had happend to a few customers and it seems like they have been skipping ppl. They need a better system to handle seating the customers. Overall the food is ok and different. The waitress was great, altough it took awhile for the food but she constantly came to apologize for the lateness and she even took the tab for the dessert since it took so ridicously long. My advice is make sure you go check with the hostess every 10-15 mins to see if they called you it might be annoying but better than have to wait longer than you might need to.

Everybody's watching, and no football "expert" wants to be the guy who gets it wrong in public. Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie shrugged at such convention Thursday and selected the player he wanted, despite obvious high stakes and very evident and legitimate concerns. McKenzie attached his reputation to Houston cornerback D.J. Hayden, who is less than six months removed from nearly dying on the field.

Along with the transition from cold to a warm climate, more and more cyclists will be getting out to enjoy the beautiful sights the state has to offer. It's a great thing that May is National Bike Month and many Mississippians will be taking advantage of the camaraderie established among cyclists.
Ever find yourself banging your head against the wall trying to advance a Safe Routes to School program across multiple schools or even an entire district? Worry not; there are plenty of other goose-egged foreheads (and dented walls) across the country that are in your same shoes.
Last week, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) convened the annual Regional Conference and General Assembly (GA) in Palm Desert for two days. The GA is a yearly convening of elected officials from across Southern California to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year.
This week has been jam packed with great Safe Routes to School events. The week kicked off on Sunday with the Takoma Park 5K for Safe Routes to School.
I was 12 years old and it started out as just another spring weekend with my Dad in New York City in the 1980s.
With the warmer weather, more and more cyclists will be riding in our communities – it's a great thing that May is National Bike Month! Ohio schools, communities and organizations are offering a wealth of cycling safety training, education and events to help us cycle safely this summer!
With spring new leadership emerges within the Safe Routes to School National Partnership (National Partnership) Florida Network. However, to some this "newness" may be a bit familiar.
A joint or shared use agreement is a formal agreement between two groups, for example a school district and a city or county, which allows for the use of public property, like a school playground or field, after regular school hours. Shared use agreements can help school districts save money on the development, operation, and maintenance of the facilities that will be shared..
The other day I was talking to another parent who is getting ready to move from our Virginia community—which is still very much car-dependent--to a small, bicycle-friendly town in the Midwest.
Engaging local elected officials is not a new component of Safe Routes to School – in fact, it has been an integral part of the process since the inception of Safe Routes to School programs and projects.
Spring brings a new season for the State Network Project in New Jersey. As you have likely heard, I will be leaving the Safe Routes to School National Partnership this month. But like I welcome the warmer and longer days, I also look forward to new opportunities and stronger partnerships. I am moving onto a program at Montclair State University that still has ties to the SRTS movement.
One of the most important and basic lessons we all learn is how to share. As children we are taught to share our toys and time on the swings, as employees we are encouraged to share ideas and successes, and as bicyclists we request that cars share the road. The idea is that by sharing, several people or groups get to enjoy something that otherwise would have only benefited one person or group.
Leah Murphy is a currently a Master's Student at the University of California Los Angeles. Leah's interest in increasing access to open space and her desire to improve conditions for children and their families for walking and biking led her to partner with the National Partnership to complete her thesis focused on prioritizing schools for Joint Use agreements.
The Mississippi Delta is a region of the state that is comprised of approximately 18 counties, of which 30% of the residents live below the poverty level.
Bike to School Day is just around the corner on May 8th. Are you in, North Carolina?
Across North Carolina there are so many great Safe Routes to School programs in place at hundreds of schools. You can visit most any of those schools now and see bikes being parked at bike racks and parents leading kids in their walk to and from school.
New data released from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the Bay Area's Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), shows that rates of bicycling and walking have increased throughout the region.
Every year since 2005, the public health community has celebrated the first week of April as National Public Health Week, led by our long-standing partner affiliate, the American Public Health Association. And this year, one of the main themes of National Public Health Week, "Providing a Saf
At the National Bike Summit this year, Douglas Meyer from Bernuth & Williamson presented some fascinating results about what Congressional allies and opponents think about bicycling. The League of American Bicyclists hired Meyer to conduct in-depth interviews with a wide range of individuals on the Hill—and while the questions were about bicycling, they are instructive for Safe Routes to School.
California is proposing to do something revolutionary for walking and bicycling. California Governor Jerry Brown's Administration has proposed a new Active Transportation Program (ATP) that will enable the state to become a leader in making walking and bicycling part of the mainstream transportation system.

Wear Your Own Skin!
By Bernie Jones firstname.lastname@example.com
Although I'm not ecstatic, about the skin I'm
Killing someone to remove their's, would be an evil sin!
I believe that it is wicked to kill an animal for it's fur,
To take the skin it's living in, leave it's bloodied carcass bare!
Some think that it's acceptable, to kill in the
name of fashion,
Adorn the fireplace with animal skin for a night of bloody passion.
But I will NEVER resign to the evil deed, creating life to take it,
When we can all buy from designers who can well and truly 'fake it'!
I want no part of the pain, the suffering, the
fashion of this season,
Killing for the sake of flaunting wealth is NOT a valid reason!
An outfit that 'suffers' before you wear it; a macabre and awful thought
In a so-called civilized society, murder really can be bought!
Poor creatures are bred and grown and crammed,
into a tiny cage,
A broken neck or anal electrocution end their sorry days.
I know these creatures would not want this life, if they had the choice
Would this cruelty happen if these 'innocents' had a voice?
I don't wear fur for the reasons that I have
specified above
I refuse to live for cruelty and suffering, I choose to live for love.

The supermarket chain Walmart has agreed to pay a sum of $440,000 to a section of its employees who had previously reported that they were subject to discrimination and rude comments by a co-worker.
This decision was announced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It is a settlement that has been recovered from the firm in lieu of ill-treat.
Walmart was sued by EEOC in the year 2009. They were of the allegation that the workers were being subjected to harassment by co-workers. There was a dire need to bring these acts of brutality to a timely end.
As many as nine workers of the organization have agreed that they have been subjected to this sort of ill-treatment, most of them being Hispanic. According to the officials of the EEOC, there was no immediate action taken by the authorities of the firm after this report. This is the reason the organization had to resort to such a strong method to bring these acts to an end.
There are acts of social discrimination taking part in every section of the world. The need of the hour is to bring about a radical change that can end this sort of discrepancies.

Dorset County Hospital surgeon joins Kenyan project
Posted: January 06, 2014|
Dorset County Hospital consultant orthopaedic surgeon Nick Savva joined a dedicated team of healthcare professionals from the South West of England to perform much needed operations in Kenya.
Mr Savva spent 10 days in Nanyuki in rural Kenya as part of an orthopaedic trauma team representing the Kenyan Orthopaedic Project.
The team of surgeons, physiotherapists, radiographers, theatre practitioners, anaesthetists and medical students performed 30 major trauma procedures that would otherwise not be available or affordable locally.
Mr Savva said it was a fabulous trip: "It gave me the opportunity to visit a wonderful country with an exceptionally motivated team of healthcare professionals.
"These trips have been running for several years now and the impact that they have on the local community is very obvious from the outset.
"On our arrival we were met by 40 to 50 patients hoping to be treated with more arriving every day. The surgery was challenging and the conditions difficult but the team were prepared for all the problems thrown at us.
"We had excellent opportunities to work with the local surgical team and it is fair to say that we both learnt from each other. The majority of procedures were performed with another orthopaedic surgeon from the UK which is a very valuable opportunity that we seldom get at home.
"Dorset County Hospital was generous enough to give me leave for the trip, recognising the benefits that this type of work provides both at home and abroad. I would relish the opportunity of another trip in the future."
You can find out more about the Kenyan Orthopaedic Project and how to support their work through the Medical and Educational Aid to Kenya website at http://egho.co.uk/projects/kop/

Below is the poem entitled Scar Tissue which was written by poet
Ryerson. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Tim Ryerson
Oh, the wounds, the gaping wounds
The wounds that never truly heal
Merely self-sutured, leaving jagged scars
left to swell, ooze and re-infect
A temporary stop-gap, a leaking dam
built to hold back the raging river of pain...
Oh, would that the scars would explode,
burst open and gush out
Gush out in primal fury,
leaving me helpless and drained
Helpless and drained before the Almighty
who is able not to simply close and smooth them over,
but who is able to brutally and lovingly rip them loose
Oh yes, He is able and willing; if I am willing...
(Partly inspired by events spanning the last 13 years)

This website is designed to help you make informed choices about the use of renewable energy systems for your home. The site shows how renewable energy systems can be combined together or used with an existing fossil-fuel fired systems to reduce your carbon emissions.
There are many choices of renewable energy systems available that can be incorporated into both new and existing homes. The choice of system will not only have an impact on your carbon footprint but also on the continued running cost of your home. Renewable energy systems can include space heating, hot water and electricity generation.
The first place to start when considering any of the methods of reducing your carbon footprint is energy saving. The most important element to allow you to get the best out of any of the renewable energy systems is to use them in a well insulated and draught proofed house. The first part of any investment in renewable energy should be to ensure your loft and cavity wall insulation is at least up to current standards, windows should be double glazed and draught seals fitted to all opening doors and windows.
Only when you have minimised heat loss should you consider adding a renewable heating system.
The details contained on this website are intended to introduce you to the possibilities of using various renewable technologies available in the UK today and give details on where you can find the necessary technical and installation information.

Bottom of the Pillow Case
Halloween is fast approaching and we've been reading a lot in these days about candies and our favorites and all of that business. I'd be curious to know what in your 'halloween-candy-recepticle' always got left for last or thrown out. The ones that you tried and tried and PLEADED to trade with someone to get something better.
I couldn't STAND twizzlers or lemon-flavored candy. I love Red Vines, but Twizzlers and that terrible artificial strawberry flavor just don't do it for me.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Rocket Captain Hamilton and his crew trace the source of a huge blinking light all the way to an unknown planet just outside the Solar System. There they discover that a giant robot has enslaved a whole population of humanoids by taking their psychic energies. Find out the robot's next destination (hint, you're living on it) when the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences sheds light on "Cosmos: War of the Planets," First Friday, February 4 at 7 pm. Free.
This is one of a number of odd sci-fi flicks directed by Italian Alfonso Brescia, typically under the Americanized name of Al Bradley. "Cosmos" and "Battle of the Stars" were released in 1977, quickly followed by "War of the Robots" in '78 and "Star Odyssey" in '79. "Cosmos" is reputed to contain visual and thematic references to "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Star Wars" and even "Barbarella." But you have to look closely. "Cosmos" is also known as "Planet without a Name" — and it's pretty easy to see why they wanted to remain anonymous. On the other hand, Brescia is also responsible for directing "Super Stooges vs. the Wonder Women" — one of the most intriguing sci-fi titles ever.
John Richardson stars as the overly intense and persistently humorless Captain Hamilton. Richardson began his career with small roles in British movies at the end of the 1950s, and achieved his biggest and most enviable success playing the role of banished caveman Tumak, the romantic interest of Raquel Welch's cavewoman in "One Million Years BC" (1966). It was a precipitous tumble from there, with "starring" roles in various Italian-made B-movies such as Umberto Lenzi's "Eyeball" (1975) and of course our lovely feature. Richardson also led the crew in the aforementioned "Battle of the Stars," which was released the same year that television's memorable "Battle of the Network Stars" previewed. (A show I would kill to see again on late night TV.)
Captain Hamilton's love interest Mila is played by Finnish actress Yanti Somer, who had a habit of popping up in all of Brescia's Americanized sci-fi adventures. She also played Trinity's girlfriend in the spaghetti western "Trinity is Still my Name" (1971) opposite Terence Hill (who, by the way, was busy starring in the very respectable "March or Die" with Gene Hackman and Catherine Deneuve when "Cosmos" came out.)
The Museum stays open from 5 to 9 pm on the First Friday of every month, inviting visitors to wander through eye-catching exhibits, enjoy snacks and beverages from the Acro Café, and groove to live music from the Museum's own blues harp magician Steve Harvell. Before the movie, enjoy a scientific look at nature's slime-making, vomit-munching and dookie-loving creatures in the Museum's special exhibit, ANIMAL GROSSOLOGY [2]. All tickets $4 after 5 pm; last ticket sold at 7 pm.

DeLand, FL 32720
John Yovaish pleads no contest in crash that killed David Johnson of DeLand
By Pat Andrews
posted Jun 11, 2012 - 4:11:00pm
John Yovaish was 19 years old in December 2009, when he stole a truck in New Smyrna Beach and headed west, to DeLand, police reports said. He was 22 when he appeared in court June 11 and pleaded no contest to charges related to the crash in which 40-year old David Johnson of DeLand died that night in 2009.
DeLand police officers tried to stop Yovaish, whom police said tried to run down an officer who ordered him to stop. The police then put out stop-sticks, which shred tires, in their effort to stop Yovaish. He did not stop, however.
Yovaish continued driving the truck, with tires deflated, and subsequently crashed into Johnson's SUV, according to reports by DeLand police and the Florida Highway Patrol. Johnson died at the scene; Yovaish suffered minor injuries.
In Judge Margaret Hudson's courtroom June 11, before jury selection could begin for a trial, Yovaish pleaded no contest to charges of:
• vehicular homicide
• grand theft with damage more than $1,000
• burglary of a conveyance
• grand theft — motor vehicle
• aggravated battery on a law-enforcement officer
• fleeing or attempting to elude
• driving while license canceled, suspended or revoked.
A plea of no contest means the defendant does not enter a plea — neither contesting nor refuting the charges, but not pleading guilty, either. The defendant is generally treated in the criminal justice system as guilty.
Yovaish had earlier failed to appear in court; he was taken back into custody on June 7.
Johnson, the father of two teenage children, was well-known in the Downtown DeLand community.
Sentencing is set for 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 17, for Yovaish, who could face from 13 years to life in prison.
In August 2010, the City of DeLand paid $100,000 to settle a claim with Johnson's estate. At that time, City Attorney Darren Elkind made it clear that a review revealed that DeLand police followed proper procedure and did nothing wrong in the case, but the cost of defending the case would be higher than settling the claim against the city — even if the city prevailed. The city's liability insurance covered most of the claim.

I don't think thats money well spent either!
Insurance paid most of it, thats why they have liability coverage!
And if it is a question of money maybe they could have re-investigated the filming project that would take four days that Bryon said would disrupt an election in November.

Dallas. NFL player Ryan Moats has accepted the apology offered by a Dallas police officer who stopped him with a drawn gun in the parking lot of a hospital where his mother-in-law was dying.
The Houston Texans running back told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday that he hoped Officer Robert Powell was sincere in his apology.
Powell stopped Moats' car outside Baylor Regional Medical Center in suburban Plano on March 18 after the vehicle rolled through a red light. Moats' wife, Tamishia, and other relatives were also in the car.
The officer pulled out his gun and threatened Moats with jail, as the player pleaded to be allowed to go inside the hospital. Moats' mother-in-law, 45-year-old Jonetta Collinsworth, died while Powell wrote Moats a ticket and lectured him.
"I loved Jo … my mother-in-law. We call her Jo. She was just like my mom, basically," Ryan Moats said.
Powell, who has been placed on paid leave pending an investigation, issued a statement on Friday through his attorneys. "I wish to publicly and sincerely apologize to the Moats family, my colleagues in the Dallas Police Department, and to all those who have been rightfully angered by my actions on March 18, 2009," Powell's statement said. "I showed poor judgment and insensitivity to Mr. Moats and his family by my words and actions."
Tamishia Moats said she'd like to hear the apology personally, but that she, too, would accept it.
Ryan Moats said the officer pointed his gun at Tamishia Moats and then at him.

I am a 33 year old woman who lives on the UWS. Six years ago I weighed about 200 pounds. I got down to about 155 and managed to keep it off for a couple of years but now it's slowly creeping up again and I'm ready to get back to my old slimmer self!
I'm 24 and athletic. I love to play volleyball. I want to look the best that I can and feel great.
I just turned 25 and I'm at a job where I'm up and about for most of the day. I got back in the routine of working out this past January until we went on vacation in April. Shortly after I injured my ankle so I was unable to do much. I'm finally to the point now where I can begin to get more active and just need some motivation.

text: Hello Everyone, First of all I am a 42 year old male, about 4 months ago I was diagnosed with tumid lupus, I developed a rash on my face that would not go away and lasted for months,I went to a derm and she did a biopsy and told me it was tumid lupus and to stay out of the sun, I had heard of lupus but knew nothing about it, when I got home i went online to see what I could find. I was told that tumid lupus (TLE) only affected the skin and as long as i stayed out of the sun I would be ok, but as i read blogs and read the symptoms I think I have SLE, as i read the symptoms alot of things started to make sense, when i was young I was plagued with constant canker sores, then when I was in my teens when ever i was in the sun i would become tired, and my knees started to hurt, I have always suffered from dry mouth, it would get so bad that it would make me gag, I would get fevers for no reason, now all my joints ache, I get this rash that lasts more months, i have severe fatigue, I have memory problems and have a hard time concentrating, I have alot of mucus buildup in my throat, I have gerd and I don't have a hernia, In sept I had a heart attack, and had 3 stents put in, I had 4 blocked arteries, my doctor told me that was strange for a man my age, my ana came back normal, just seen a rhem for the first time and she ordered more blood tests and x-rays of my joints still waiting for the results, she also told me to get a eye exam?

Boston pupil wins place in 2013 National Science and Engineering Competition final
Posted: February 02, 2013|
A PUPIL from Boston is top of the class after winning a place in the finals of the 2013 National Science and Engineering Competition.
Harriet Housam, who goes to Boston High School, impressed the judges of the competition with her investigation to discover the factors affecting food choice in the red-footed tortoise.
She will now go head to head with students from across the country in an attempt to claim one of the UK's most prestigious science and engineering honours for young people.
Harriet's shortlisted entry will be presented to more than 60,000 people at The Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Fair, the country's single biggest celebration of science and engineering for young people, held at ExCeL London from March 14 to 17.
The world-class judging panel includes TV science star Professor Brian Cox, celebrated space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Sir Tim Hunt, and mathematician and Countdown co-host Rachel Riley, among others.
Harriet said: "I'm thrilled my project has made it into the finals of this year's National Science + Engineering Competition and I can't wait to get to The Big Bang Fair in London this March! I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering new objects in our galaxy and hope my research will inspire younger aspiring scientists at the fair."
Sir Roland Jackson, Chief Executive of the British Science Association which runs the National Science and Engineering Competition, commented: "The Competition aims to recognise and celebrate the most creative flair of our young scientists and engineers, and to inspire others to follow related study and careers. Harriet's entry illustrates the talent our young people possess.

Trade and craft associations have flourished all over Europe for many centuries, but the City of London companies, now collectively known as the Livery, are unique in their survival, number and diversity. The social and economic conditions which gave birth to the original guilds have long since been overtaken by the development of industry and commerce, but the livery companies still flourish today as living institutions. Their survival has been achieved by doing what they have always done: fostering their trade in a wide context, serving the community, and embracing modern skills and professions.

KINGSPORT — It's been the Tri-Cities' own version of the "Madhouse."
Running weekly racing for the first time in over a decade, Kingsport Speedway has featured close racing, feuding drivers, growing crowds and even a wedding.
In short, there has been enough hijinks to rival those at North Carolina's Bowman-Gray Stadium, where the History Channel's television show "Madhouse" was based.
Although he's been pleased with the on-track product at the 3â"8-mile concrete oval, track operator Robert Pressley still believes work needs to be done. After years of inactivity, he's looking for the day when the grandstands are consistently packed.
"We're not there yet. We still have a long way to go with what we want to make this race track," said Pressley, who has leased the speedway from track owner Joe Loven. "When I think we have turned the corner is when we can have that place packed on a regular basis.
"There's a lot of curiosity still going on with people asking if the race track is really what everybody says it is and worth the $10 admission. We have to get the race fans used to this being what they want to do on a Friday night."
Featuring the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, the track ran consistently throughout the early summer. There was plenty of beating and banging, both in the preliminary races and in the track's featured Late Model Stock division. As the summer heated up, so did the action.
In one of the more memorable races, Johnson City driver Zeke Shell dominated the night's 60-lap feature only to be hit by Lee Tissot in the closing laps, causing a multi-car pileup. As Tissot went on to win the race, Shell looked at his torn-up race car and fumed.
In the pits afterwards, Sullivan County deputies had to restrain Shell, who ran to confront Tissot.
"I took him for a better driver than that and a better person," Shell said. "He's got one coming to him."
Shell hasn't been the only one aggravated after a Late Model race. Jonesborough driver Robbie Ferguson has been involved in his own pair of high-profile accidents.
At the season-opening race, Ferguson crashed with Kingsport driver Royce Peters on the frontstretch, leaving both drivers hot under the collar.
"He doesn't have to run over somebody," Peters said. "He was overdriving his car. I always liked Robbie pretty good, but I don't like him right now."
Standing next to his damaged race car, Ferguson countered, "I'm hitting the wall, the guy cuts up and he blames the wreck on me ... it's just short-track racing. But we put on a good show for the fans. That's what it's all about."
It's been that way all season.
Three weeks ago, Ferguson and another Kingsport driver, Brad Housewright, bounced their cars off each other, which resulted in Housewright slamming hard into the turn one wall. Furious after the wreck, he sprinted through the pits to where Ferguson's car was parked. Housewright then jumped in the air and kicked the driver's window net on Ferguson's car before being restrained by track officials.
While tempers have reached the boiling point many times over the season, love was in the air Saturday night.
Former track champion driver Brian Vance wed his longtime girlfriend Marcy Taylor before the start of Saturday's UARA Series race.
The wedding at the track, themed "The Race to the Alter," was Taylor's idea since the two met at Kingsport Speedway years ago when she served as a scorer.
The relationship grew once Vance took a job as a UARA official and brought Taylor along as a scorer. They continued in those roles until Vance was named the director for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour three years ago.
"When we realized there was going to be a UARA race at Kingsport, and the track being NASCAR-sanctioned now, it was like the past, present and future all rolled into one," Taylor said. "Plus, to do it in front of the people who attend the races and the people who work for UARA, those are our family and friends."
Recovering from the big night of racing and romance, the track will take some time off the next few weeks, with only three races scheduled until the end of the season. Pressley said a long offseason will give him time to get things better organized for next season.
As for this year, the reviews have been positive.
Tackling one of the biggest problems at the short tracks, racers and fans alike have applauded Pressley's efforts to keep the program on schedule. Shell pointed out that Pressley, being a racer, understands some of the problems that other track owners don't.
It is a statement confirmed by Pressley, who talked about his own frustrations as a race car driver running the short tracks.
"When I started running Busch Grand National and Winston Cup, I learned NASCAR is going to start the race at the scheduled time and they're not waiting on nobody," Pressley said. "A lot of local tracks will let drivers and crewmen dictate the schedule and hold the show up after midnight when nobody wants to be there. We've shown everybody once we qualify and start the national anthem, we're ready to go. Everybody knows the schedule. The races are usually over between 10:15 and 10:30, and if people are staying at the race track late, it's because they want to be there, not because they have to be there."
As word spread about Pressley running an efficient program and implementing cost-effective measures like a standard shock rule, the car count increased.
Twenty-one cars raced in both the Late Model division and the Pure 4 division at the track's last weekly program. Coming up is a special Late Model race the Sunday afternoon following the IRWIN Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Joey Logano has already signed up for the event.
Shell, who raced the last few seasons at the well-established Motor Mile Speedway near Radford, Va., has no complaints with Kingsport's quality of competition. He can point to Kingsport driver John Ketron currently leading the national championship standings in NASCAR's weekly program based on his Pure 4 performance, and fellow Late Model driver Nate Monteith of Blountville ranking in the top 10 in his division.
"It's right up there with the competition we were seeing at Motor Mile," said Shell, driver of the No. 97 Ford. "It really impressed me because I wasn't expecting that."

11 Dental Tips for Halloween
Many children will venture out to "trick or treat" this year. Family, friends, and schools will celebrate the festive season. While Halloween may be fun, it may present some safety challenges with the mouth.
Halloween is traditionally celebrated by marching from house to house asking for candy. Candy causes cavities. And it only takes seven minutes…and that's why cavities are the number one chronic disease in children.
Here are some tips to keep the kids healthy from a dental perspective during Halloween:
1. Delay eating the candy until you get home.
2. Avoid sticky candies that can get stuck into the grooves of back teeth. Sticky candy can start to promote acid damage to teeth.
3. Restrict eating candy to only with meals. This way your kids ingest less and the saliva will help to reduce cavities.
4. Keep the candy in reserve and only bring out for the kids after meals.
5. Have the kids get their toothbrush out and apply toothpaste, floss and mouthwash too, before eating the candy. This reinforces good cleaning / prevention habits.
6. Look inside your child's mouth after brushing, if there are visible signs of candy stuck in the grooves of back teeth, brush again. Then, look again to determine if all the candy has been removed.
7. Have chewing gum available that contains xylitol. Xylitol helps to prevent cavities caused by eating Halloween candy. Chewing gum when away from the toothbrush can assist in cleansing the candy particles away from their teeth.
8. Rinse with a fluoride mouthwash after eating the candy. Fluoride helps to prevent cavities and strengthen teeth.
9. Floss to remove candy stuck between teeth.
10. Alternatively, encourage your kids to eat healthier foods.
11. If your kid's teeth are sensitive to hot, cold, or sweets – visit with your dentist as soon as possible, for they may have a cavity.

Randy Gentille named Salesperson of the Year at Vista Honda
Randy Gentille, a sales and leasing consultant for Vista Honda in Ventura, has been named Salesperson of the Year for 2012.
For the third year in a row, Gentille has won this prestigious award. He also won it in 2004, 2005 and 2007. Along with this award, Gentille has achieved Salesperson of the Month several times — 13 Awards in total — since he started with the company in January 2004.
"I am very happy and content working for Vista Honda — a family-owned business of 39 years — owned by the Shukens and Tony Fiori," said Gentille. "It makes a huge difference when you work for a company with integrity — one that truly cares for their employees and one that really does care that their customers are very well taken care of and very happy. Greg Myers and the rest of the management team help make that all happen. "Vista Honda has also taken great pride in their recent remodel — doing their best to make this a great environment and atmosphere for their customers and employees."
Gentille also said he is selling the best product available and has been driving a Honda for more than 30 years and selling them for more than nine years.
"When you truly believe in your product, it becomes very natural to convey this to your customers. It's genuine and it's real," said Gentille. "I feel my work ethics and philosophy of selling play a huge part. The main philosophy that I have always tried to maintain is this — I try my best to treat my customers the way that I would want to be treated if I were their customer.
"Most people notice and very much appreciate being treated as such."
Gentille moved to California from Ohio in August 2003. He has, for most of his career, been in management positions. He has also owned and operated his own business for more than 10 years. Customer satisfaction has always been and always will be his main priority.
Vista Honda is at 6450 Auto Center Drive in the Ventura Auto Center. For more information, call 866-768-9890 or visit www.VistaHonda.com.

The admissibility of prior consistent statements has long been a difficult and contentious issue impacting a wide variety of significant cases, including sex-abuse cases, criminal drug cases, civil rights cases, and many other actions, both criminal and civil.
This Article examines the admissibility of prior consistent statements, concentrating on the premotive rule. The Article concludes that the per se, time-line premotive rule codified in Rule 801(d)(1)(B) is overly restrictive in some instances. The rule can hamper the jury's fact-finding mission by placing an often crucial factual determination where it does not belong—in the hands of the trial judge. Although a per se premotive rule compels the correct result in the vast majority of situations, it does not sufficiently take into account the ebb and flow of an individual's motives and emotions, the infinite array of factual situations in which the issue might arise, or the strength of the jury's ability to weigh evidence. A more flexible approach, one that takes account of the realities of a jury trial, is needed. This need can be met by amending the Federal Rules of Evidence.
Part II of this Article provides background and an historical discussion of the admissibility of prior consistent statements at common law. Part III examines the admissibility of prior consistent statements under the Federal Rules of Evidence, focusing on the premotive rule. Part IV describes the Tome case, including a discussion of the Supreme Court's majority and dissenting opinions. Part V suggests that Rule 801(d)(1)(B) should be amended, and sets forth some issues that the amendment should address.

Novel of the week
Love, etc
Julian Barnes Cape, 250pp, £15.99
Love, etc
Julian Barnes Cape, 250pp, £15.99
by Hugo Barnacle Published
Julian Barnes has decided to examine once again the love triangle he laid out nine years ago in Talking it Over. The sensible but vaguely creepy Stuart returns to haunt his ex-wife Gillian and her replacement husband, Oliver. The power balance has altered - Stuart has made his fortune in organic groceries, while Oliver is still writing unfilmable screenplays and living off the modest income that Gillian earns as a picture restorer.
When last heard of, the happy couple were settled in an idyllic French village. But they had to sell up and leave because of the scandal created by the rather implausible scene at the end of Talking it Over, when Gillian picked a fight with Oliver in the street to convince the spying Stuart (who didn't know she knew he was there) that he didn't have much to feel jealous about.
French rural property prices do not keep pace with the London market, so Gillian, Oliver and their two daughters are now obliged to live in a small basement in a grotty corner of Stoke Newington. Stuart has a mansion flat in St John's Wood but, weirdly, he still owns the big house that he and Gillian used to share. He moves out the tenants, lets the place to Gillian and Oliver, and keeps coming round to put up shelves or cook dinner. He also hires Oliver as a van driver. For some reason, the couple don't suspect that good old Stuart is up to something.
As before, the characters address the reader directly to offer their thoughts on life and their conflicting accounts of various episodes. On the one hand, this is a demanding technique, because the writer has to develop and sustain distinctive voices - in this case, for the three principal characters, the children, Gillian's parents, Stuart's second ex-wife and so on. On the other hand, this method offers a certain scope for laziness. Barnes can make limp, adolescent observations and pass them off as part of the characterisation, thus not the author's fault at all.
Sometimes this is OK. Oliver asks: "If they're called off-road vehicles, why are so many of them on the fucking road?" He clearly thinks he's being original, and we are meant to understand that he deludes himself. But sometimes this is a problem. Oliver spends more than two pages rhapsodising over the aptness and universal relevance of an epithet that Stuart happens to use when discussing GM crops: "the law of unintended effect". Or what you and I know as the law of unintended consequences. The slight garbling suggests that Barnes may genuinely share Oliver's unfamiliarity with the term, unless the whole passage is an arch joke along the lines of the Python sketch about the man who has never heard of the expression "No time to lose". Either way, it's weak.
Stuart, meanwhile, is baffled by Oliver's use of "No hard feelings" when alluding to their past antagonism. Stuart asks Gillian's mother, with whom he remains in touch, what on earth the implicitly preferred "soft feelings" are supposed to be. Again, Barnes makes a curiously heavy meal of this. Later, Gillian's mother says: "Soft feelings. That was a good phrase, no?" Kingsley Amis had a rule that no character should laugh at another character's jokes. It seems equally true that no character should praise another character's phrase-making. Or, indeed, its own. Gillian, recalling how she dumped Stuart immediately after marrying him, says: "Being in love makes you liable to fall in love. Isn't that a terrible paradox? Isn't that a terrible truth?" All of the trio, now in their forties, exhibit this callow, self-conscious disillusionment, more typical of undergraduates. They are continually amazed that love is not the answer to all ills and that the cliches of received wisdom are not always true.
If this is the point - that even in middle age most of us are less mature than we like to think - it may be a fair one. But it's hard to tell whether this is the point. The novel is readable and intelligent, yet ultimately quite depressing, and its tone of primal gloom seems heartfelt, an attribute not only of the characters, but of the work itself.

Onalaja. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Gbenga Onalaja
I stopped thinking long ago
Mi amigo!
From the moment my eyes wandered through you
They'd ne'er come back
My head followed suit in tandem
I loosed my head while trying to get my eyes
My heart couldn't bear it, thus, it followed
The trails of its predecessors in the wilderness of love
But my heart won't come back
Then tyranny
And anarchy, all within me they dwell
For the administrators are gone
Then the anatomy converse with the outside
To seek where the heart lies
They know it is with you
And they are coming for it
But then,
Hopelessness crept in
Would they ever find it?
I'm lust in love!
