Mum of boy hit by mobility scooter to discuss campaign on national TV
Posted: January 12, 2013|
A MOTHER, who launched a petition calling for tighter regulations on the use of mobility scooters after her nine-year-old son was injured by one, has collected 3,000 signatures.
Now, Caren Jephson, of Spondon, plans to expand her campaign on a national scale.
On Wednesday, the 45-year-old mum will appear on the BBC's One Show to voice her opinions in front of five million viewers.
She is also planning trips to Nottingham, Manchester, Luton and Birmingham to add to the signatures she has already collected in Derby.

Mrs Jephson's campaign began in October after her son, Isaac, was hit by a scooter being driven by an elderly man along Babington Lane, Derby, who then failed to stop.
Mrs Jephson said: "Since I've been campaigning, I've heard plenty of stories of people getting hit and then the person in the scooter zooming off.
"Only the elderly and disabled should be allowed to use them and there ought to be a speed limit imposed on them."
Mrs Jephson said the scooter that hit her son did so with such force it sent him flying into a shop window.
Shoppers rushed to the boy's aid as he was left crying with pain.
The legal speed limit for travel on a pavement is 4mph but Mrs Jephson estimated the scooter was travelling much faster.
The charity shop worker said it was lucky her son was not more seriously hurt.
She is delighted with the 3,000 people who have put pen to paper in support of her campaign and has no plans to ease up.
She said: "I'm now hoping to arrange a bus-load of supporters to go to Downing Street so people who have signed the petition can protest to the Government.
"I've had a lot of support. I've spoken to a local mobility shop manager who also wants to try to help me tackle the problem of people buying mobility scooters online and not receiving the training or guidance they need."
It is an issue that the Government has been looking into for several years – with a consultation in 2010 asking people if they would support measures such as mandatory training and eye tests for mobility scooter users.
However, no changes to the law have been introduced.
Anyone wishing to sign the petition should e-mail Mrs Jephson at carenjep45@ gmail.com or they can call in at the Barnardo's shop in Babington Lane.

(Sep 07, 2012) On September 7, 2012, the New Zealand High Court (the third highest court in New Zealand's court hierarchy) dismissed a challenge to the findings of reports that stated that average temperatures in the country had increased by nearly one degree Centigrade in a hundred years. (New Zealand Climate Science Education Trust v National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited, [2012] NZHC 2297.)
The New Zealand Climate Science Education Trust, a private entity associated with the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (About Us & Contact, The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (last visited Sept. 7, 2012)) that rejects the argument that human activity has caused global warming, sought judicial review of decisions made by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) relating to the publication of temperature data. In particular, the Trust argued that NIWA had not applied recognized scientific opinion and that the data in its reports contained obvious deficiencies; that it had therefore breached its statutory duties, including its obligation to pursue excellence; and that it had failed to consider mandatory considerations, relied on a mistake of fact, and acted unreasonably in releasing the data. (New Zealand Climate Science Education Trust v National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited, ¶¶ 11 & 19.)
NIWA is a Crown Research Institute established pursuant to the Crown Research Institutes Act 1992. (New Zealand Legislation website.) Its mission is to "conduct leading environmental science to enable the sustainable management of natural resources for New Zealand and the planet." (Our Mission, NIWA (last visited Sept. 7, 2012).) The institute has maintained the country's National Climate Database since 1992. (The National Climate Database (last visited Sept. 7, 2012.).)
In 1999, NIWA published the "Seven Station Temperature Series" (7SS) – "a statistical time series of nationally averaged annual mean surface temperature trends experienced in New Zealand since 1853." (New Zealand Climate Science Education Trust v National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited, ¶ 3.) In addition, in 2009, it published an Eleven Station Temperature Series (11SS) and then in 2010 published a review of the 7SS that covered the period from 1909 to 2008. (Id. ¶¶ 5-6.) These two later publications "support the conclusion that can be drawn from the 7SS that New Zealand's climate has experienced a warming trend over the 100 years to 2009." (Id. ¶ 7.) The Trust argued that, in compiling the 7SS, NIWA failed to apply "recognised scientific opinion" set out in a 1993 International Journal of Climatology paper entitled "Adjustment of Temperature and Rainfall for Site Changes." (Id. ¶ 56.)
The High Court judge, Justice Geoffrey Venning, considered that there was essentially a factual dispute, with NIWA arguing that it had applied the methodology in the 1993 paper in compiling the data and the Trust denying that and claiming that NIWA had instead applied the methodology of an earlier thesis published in 1981. (
In considering whether the Trust had shown some defect in NIWA's decisionmaking process or that NIWA's decisions were wrong in principle or law, the judge rejected evidence presented on behalf of the Trust regarding scientific practices, finding that the relevant witness could not be considered an impartial expert and that his evidence was therefore inadmissible opinion, and that some of the statements were only submissions and "not evidence as to factual matters or even opinion." (Id. ¶¶ 50-52.)
Justice Venning ruled that the Trust had not been successful in any of its challenges against NIWA. He held that "[o]n the evidence I am satisfied that the methodology applied by NIWA was in accordance with internationally recognised and credible scientific methodology." (Id. ¶ 182.) He also referred to the "well established" position that the Court, "in considering an application for judicial review, will be cautious about interfering with decisions made by a specialist body acting within its own sphere of expertise." (Id. ¶ 41.) He further stated that "the Court will be reluctant to adjudicate on matters of science and substitute its own inexpert view of the science if there is a tenable expert opinion." (Id. ¶ 47.)
The judge ruled that NIWA was entitled to have its costs paid by the Trust. (Id. ¶ 186.)

The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.

Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she'll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces.

Syneilesis aconitifolia (Shredded Umbrella Plant)
Item# 3400
Currently Unavailable
Zone: 3a to 8b,at least
Height: 18" tall
Culture: Part Sun to Light Shade
Origin: China, Japan, Korea
Pot Size: 3.5" pot (24 fl. oz/0.7 L)
(aka: Senecio aconitifolius) I flipped (not literally) back in the 1980s when I first saw Syneilesis aconitifolia at the US National Arboretum, only later to rediscover it in the wilds of Korea. Syneilesis aconitifolia is a woodland Asteraceae (ligularia relative), native to dry hillsides in China, Japan, and Korea. Shredded umbrella plant emerges in early spring as the white wooly leaves push through the ground like mayapples...or more appropriately, like shredded umbrellas after a hurricane. The exquisite foliage of Syneilesis aconitifolia flattens out atop 18" stems by mid-spring. Expect a decent-sized colony as the rhizomes slowly spread (2' wide in 5-7 years). Flowers...forget the insignificant flowers...and enjoy the luscious foliage!

ABSENT: Ike Ledesma, Molly Morris, Bill Glenn, Susan Roberts, Gladys Chairez, Larry Sharp
GUESTS: Oscar Quintela for Molly Morris
Agenda Item
|Meeting Start Time
|10:06 a.m.
Dr. Huerta welcomed everyone. She hopes everyone is looking forward to a three day weekend. Dr. Huerta thanked everyone for their attendance and participation at Convocation yesterday.
Dr. Huerta welcomed Ms. Bagwell to her first day with the group as Interim Division Dean. We are glad to have her. Mr. Quintela is here for Ms. Morris who will be out the next two weeks.
|1 - Distribution of the Minutes of December 1, 2006 - Dr. Huerta
|Dr. Huerta noted the minutes of December 1, 2006, were distributed with the agenda. Please look over and let Irene know changes. Dr. Huerta asked Ms. Allen for help in getting the minutes posted on the web. It has been Dr. Huerta's commitment to have them posed.
|Please let Irene know any changes to Dec. 1 2006, minutes.
|2 - 2007 - 2008 Budget Request Process - Dr. Huerta
|Dr. Huerta referred to the memo from Mr. Burke on the budget process. This year, for the first time, there will be a preliminary budget meeting. Also attached is the time line given for each unit for the preliminary meeting. The Exec Team would like, at this preliminary meeting, each unit to give the unit's staffing needs (full time faculty and staff) for the upcoming budget process. We would like to get a sense of the needs. Please come with justification for any full time position request. Mr. Burke noted we are going to have to bear down. We will really need to focus on Nursing. Mr. Chappell asked who would present for Faculty Council. Dr. Huerta noted this meeting would be for staffing needs only so Faculty Council will not need to present. Ms. Aguilera-Goerner noted if it was the intent to move up the search process. Dr. Huerta noted no, but that we could possibly advertise early. Mr. Burke suggested starting early with draft position announcements. Dr. Huerta added that several positions that were not filled will be advertised this month. We want to eliminate late offers. She asked division deans to start developing announcements. Dr. Huerta suggested getting with Ms. Gleason on the common information on the announcements. Mr. Burke noted the requests should follow what was submitted in your operating plans. Dr. Chieffo asked for clarification on who should attend; department chairs, program directors. Mr. Burke noted it was up to each unit. This will not be a decision making meeting. We would like to identify issues sooner.. Dr. Huerta asked that the division dean be the speakers, but that department chairs and program directors can come. Ms. Brooks asked if this would impact schedules. Mr. Burke noted that they are related. Dr. Chieffo asked the division deans to let us know the impact to the schedule.
|Please come to preliminary budget meeting prepared to present your staffing needs including justification. Also, include if this will impact the schedule. Draft position announcements for new faculty/staff can also be started.
|3 - Exempt and Non Exempt Staff Evaluation Process - Dr. Huerta & Ms. Gleason
|Dr. Huerta noted the exempt and non exempt evaluations were around the corner. She has asked Ms. Gleason to let us know the deadline dates when she knows. Dr. Huerta has been informed that in the past, DACC was not in synch with main campus. Evaluations should be reviewed by the reviewer (and supervisor) before it is given to the employee. DACC did not do this. We will be complying with the policy starting this year. Dr. Lillibridge asked if the same forms would be used. Ms. Gleason noted yes. Ms. Nickerson asked if the non exempt form has been changed or improved. Ms. Gleason noted no. This had been tied to broadbanding and broadbanding is on hold. Mr. Paulman asked if broadbanding had been set. Mr. Burke noted the set time has changed several times. A new date has not been set. Human Resources is working on a contract with the union. Dr. Huerta noted that as we get information on the evaluations from main campus, we will send out. Dr. Huerta also noted a concern from main campus on using all 10s. Please think about what you give your employees. We could possibly provide training or discussions on evaluations if needed. Ms. Gleason noted that if you give all 10s, maybe we need to check the duties. Mr. Paulman noted it was culture and if reset the morale will be affected. Mr. Burke noted this was a preliminary discussion for you to rethink evaluations and is something that needs to be fixed over time. Please discuss with employees when evaluating. Change is coming and nobody is perfect. Dr. Huerta asked everyone to start thinking about this and Ms. Gleason will send information as she gets it. Dr. Chieffo asked if training can be done for supervisors. Dr. Huerta noted that it can be worked on. We do not want to be caught off guard.
|Please rethink how you evaluate your staff. Also, policy will be followed: you will review evaluation with the reviewer prior to reviewing with employee.
|4 - The Migration Strategy to Blackboard CE6 - Mr. Quintela
|Dr. Huerta asked Mr. Quintela to give the group an update on the
migration to Blackboard CE6 and perhaps, for faculty, more
extensive training. Mr. Quintela noted the new system is very
different and will require retraining. Because DACC will not be able
to handle all the training, some faculty will need to go to NMSU for
training. Mr. Chappell asked if they had thought of training for
part-time faculty. Mr. Quintela noted it was being worked on. The
new system will be going live summer session II. The old system will
be shut down. The course migration has not all been worked out.
We will need to make sure and migrate back ups. Mr. Quintela
suggested looking at this as an opportunity for DACC to clean up
courses. Dr. Huerta added that this was a lot of work and we need
to do a better job of doing tagging and identifying these courses. Mr.
Quintela noted that we would like to hire part-time people to help
with migrating. Mr. Chappell asked if this would make things more
consistent. Mr. Quintela noted yes we can with the new system. Dr.
Huerta asked Ms. Rodriguez if any of their courses were webCT.
Ms. Rodriguez noted no, but they would like to. Most students do not
have access to computers. They would like to apply for grant to
purchase laptops and be able to have students check them out. Dr.
Huerta asked Mr. Quintela to get with Dr. Chieffo on scheduling
training, etc. Mr. Quintela noted that we needed to come up with a
strategy. This is a new staff challenge. Ms. Allen added there would
be a new version in fall 2008. Dr. Huerta asked how many courses
this impacted. Mr. Quintela noted 100 courses which are fully on line
and 300 augmented through webCT enhanced. Ms. Aguilera-Goerner noted she has already began talks with Mr. Quintela on
starting with the General Studies Division. Dr. Huerta noted we also
needed to train students. Mr. Quintela added we need to inform
students of the change. Tutorials will be available for faculty and
students. He will visit departments soon. Mr. Chappell asked what
the status of my.nmsu e-mail was. Ms. Allen noted it was there but
there are still questions. Mr. Burke added it was in place to function
but needed academic input. It will be coordinated with Dr. Chieffo's
Dr. Huerta asked for any announcements:
Mr. Chappell noted he has had a good overall response by full time and part time faculty on entering grades.
Dr. Lillibridge noted there was a significant planning meeting on January 26. Please send important ideas to him. Dr. Huerta added that of the five institutional priorities, she needed information on Criterion 1 from Mr. Walker so that we can wrap up. Dr. Lillibridge noted they are working their way through Banner and AtD is coming up. If you need something bad, please have a good reason.
Ms. Lopez noted she would be representing the college at Las Cruces Day in Santa Fe and would have a booth set up. Please give her any information on programs you would like set up at the booth by January 25.
Ms. Aguilera-Goerner reminded everyone about the Border Learning Conference. Look at brochure and sign up.
Dr. Huerta also reminded everyone of the NM HEAR conference.
|Dr. Huerta would like
Mr. Quintela to work
with Dr. Chieffo on
scheduling training.
Please give important ideas to Dr. Lillibridge for the Jan. 26 planning meeting.
Please give Ms. Lopez program brochures for Las Cruces Day in Santa Fe.

Caring for a Savannah kitten is a lengthy commitment that may span 15-20 years. It will be a life-changing event, granting you the privilege of raising a creature of dignity and self-respect.
Following are some tips that will help make the transition to your kitten's new home easier.
Bringing your Kitten Home
Being away from mom and littermates can be an unsettling time for a kitten so you must give your new kitten time to adjust. Keep his or her new surroundings as quiet and stress free as possible. It is recommended that you keep your Savannah kitten in a separate room such as a bathroom, where he or she can't hide under anything—complete with litter box, food, water, bed and toys. Allow your kitten to come out of the crate on his or her own. Some Savannahs will eagerly come out of their crate right away while others may require some coaxing with a toy or treat. Once your kitten comes out of the crate, you should show him or her where the litter box is, gently placing him or her inside. Offer some food and water and let your kitten explore on his or her own until you see that he or she is getting comfortable with her new home.
If you have other pets, a one week minimum quarantine period for your kitten is recommended. This protects your kitten as well as your other pets from passing on an unnoticed virus. Since kittens are stressed during a transition period, their immunity is generally weakened and they are more susceptible to illness. While it is common for an adult animal with a strong immune system to carry viral strains that don't affect him or her, a kitten with a weakened immune system, exposed to the same virus, could easily contract it. So keeping your kitten separate for a minimum of one week is very important. Once your kitten is comfortable in the small room, he or she can be allowed access to more of the house. When your kitten readily comes to you to play and socialize, you can permit him or her more run of the home. And once your kitten has run of the house, we recommend keeping several litter boxes throughout the house for the first couple of months. As your kitten starts to explore, be sure to sit him or her into the new litter boxes several times during the first few days. Even with multiple boxes available, we recommend you give your kitten time in his or her original room to encourage your kitten to take time to eat and drink, use the litter box, and rest.
Feeding your Savannah
Our kittens are weaned on a diet of Evo Cat and Kitten dry and wet food. Dry food is left out at all times for free-feeding.
It is best to feed your new kitten the same food that he or she
has been used to eating. Any change in diet should be done gradually, over a period of several days, adding a little more of the new food each day. This will prevent digestive problems.
The main goal of any feeding program should be to obtain the optimum nutrition available for your kitten. When choosing dry or canned food, read the label. The first ingredient
should be a meat or poultry product. Even though this type of cat food is more expensive, your kitten will eat less since a smaller amount will satisfy her nutritional requirements. A
serving of cooked chicken or beef heart, kidney, liver, or other meat is a good snack. You'll be amazed at how much your Savannah will enjoy a treat occasionally. Treats are okay as long
as they do not become a main dish. Too many treats steal the appetite and keeps the kitten from getting the nutrients he or she needs from the primary cat food.
Litter Habits
It is best to use the same litter your kitten is accustomed to using to avoid any mishaps. We use Feline Pine non-clumping pellet litter. If you decide to switch brands, please do so after
two weeks time and do it gradually. Sometimes a kitten will refuse to use the litter box if he or she doesn't recognize the litter.
Play Time
Savannah cats and kittens love to play and they can be quite rough with their toys. Typical cat toys like fuzzy mice and feathered birds can be quite fun to chase around but since the Savannah likes to chew, we prefer that those toys are played with only under supervision. We like to give our cats and kittens toys that they can't chew apart. Small dog toys are very durable and work best for a Savannah.
Declawing is an inhumane practice and we do not endorse or recommend it. Declawing amputates the first joint of the toe. When cat furniture is available, your cat will use it. You can discourage your kitten away from the sofa or chair with a spritz of water from a spray bottle or by putting double-sided tape on the corners of the couch. Claws may be clipped every month or so, and a product called Soft Paws has been very successful in inhibiting undesirable scratching.
If you feel that you are ready to welcome a mamber into your family, then you have chosen well in selecting a Savannah kitten. Savannahs get along very well with children and dogs as well as other cats. Your Savannah will be your best friend— preferring your company in whatever you are doing.

Through our Savannah Cat breeding program we have the opportunity to raise awareness on the crisis affecting the world wildlife population. The illegal trade of wildlife is directly affecting the survival of many species in the world. Last year alone, over 25,000 elephants were slaughtered for their ivory. Poaching tigers for their skins and bones has brought their population down to fewer than 3,200. Please join our efforts in helping to stop the illegal wildlife trade by reducing the demand for illegal animal parts and products and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Spread the word to save our wildlife!

Vinyasa Flow
Classes consist primarily of Vinyasa Flow, yet poses are often held within the flow to allow time for work on alignment. Vinyasa connects the breathe with movement, so that your yoga practice becomes a dance in itself. The constant movement of Vinyasa Flow, allows you to enter a sort of meditative state as you practice. Poses are often held for a short period of time to allow for work within the pose, and encourage self correction through feeling the pose more deeply through its holding.
Many of the poses practiced and offered are taken from the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga. Adaptations are always available to create a pose that is accessible to all who are practicing.
Pre and postnatal classes offer appropriate poses for preparing for labor or tightening, toning and reconnecting with yourself and your baby. Classes are informative and fun, bring a mat, yourself and your smile!
"Yoga practice is like life. Each circumstance in which we find ourselves is like a pose. Some poses are hard to hold, others are pleasant. It is how we hold the pose that determines whether or not we will suffer or grow and whether or not we will listen to the drama of the ego or the wisdom of the spirit."

Mount Washington State Park 11-16-12
We are enjoying an 'Indian Summer' here at Mount Washington State Park with temperature inversions making it warmer at the highest elevations and colder in the valleys. The resulting high clouds have been making for some spectacular sunsets too.
Many local ski areas are taking advantage of the cooler nighttime temperatures to make artificial snow. As the mountains are mostly brown in color, the ski areas who are making snow and visible from the summit are quite pronounced.
While Cannon Mountain is hidden from our view by the Franconia range they are busy making snow as well and planning to open next week on November 23rd!
For a full list of ski areas making snow and their opening dates please visit SkiNH.com.
Our beautiful late fall weather looks like it will continue for another week or so but come later part of November the forecast is showing a return to winter so we'll enjoy this weather while we can!
About Mike Pelchat, Manager of Mt. Washington State ParkI've been working atop Mt Washington for past 30 years so you can guess I like it above the tree line! After all these years I still never tire of the beauty of our NH White Mtns and consider my employment an extreme honor and privilege to work for the State Of NH and serve its visitors. When not on the summit you can find me enjoying the rock & ice climbing one of the many beautiful granite cliffs we have in Franconia, Crawford or Echo Lake State Parks. I have taken these climbing skills learned at our NH State Parks to climb in Alaska, Andes, Canadian Arctic and Himalayas. I live in Gorham NH with my wife Diane Holmes.

High school baseball moves to improve safety next year
SACRAMENTO — High school baseball and softball players will have to use a new type of metal bats next year and state athletic officials will urge teams to require that pitchers and infielders wear protective headgear while on the field.
Those decisions, announced Wednesday by the California Interscholastic Federation, led Assemblyman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, to drop a proposed bill that would have required high schools to convert to wooden bats as a means to improve safety.
In addition, CIF Executive Director Marie Ishida said it is highly likely protective headgear for pitchers and infielders will be mandated by the state beginning with the 2011-12 school year.
National rules will require all high schools switch to newly designed metal composite bats next season; the California change will apply also to aluminum bats.
All of the actions stem from concerns that struck balls can rocket off existing metal bats with such speed that players in the field — particularly pitchers, who are positioned closest to the batter — do not have time to react.
Huffman, who called the existing class of equipment "performance-enhancing bats," said the California changes will likely spur action nationwide.
"This will change the sport of baseball, and also softball, for the better — permanently," Huffman said.
CIF officials had resisted Huffman's efforts to require wood bats next season, partly out of concern that such a change would have been very costly for schools to implement.
At a news conference announcing the agreement, Huffman was joined by Gunnar Sandberg, a Marin County high school pitcher who was severely injured last year after being struck in the head with a line drive. It was Sandberg's injury that inspired the bill.
Matt Hiserman, a University of San Francisco pitcher who spent three nights hospitalized in intensive care after being struck by a line drive, noted he was able to return to pitching this year by wearing headband-like protective gear under his baseball hat that secured hard covers over his temples.
Hiserman said further development of headgear that is lightweight, unobtrusive and able to be worn under the hat will be essential if the requirement is to become widely accepted among baseball players.
Ishida said CIF officials "will highly encourage" high schools to voluntarily require headgear next season. "It's not going to be popular," she acknowledged.
Huffman said the protective gear now available is primitive, but he believes the California action "is going to drive the market" by motivating sporting goods manufacturers to create safety gear that players and coaches will broadly accept.
He noted baseball has lagged behind other sports, such as bicycling, skiing and hockey, in moving toward safety equipment that protects against head injuries.

The Language and Literacy Experiences Children Need
A child's foundation for reading and writing begins at birth. At each stage of development, children need their parents to interact with them so they can develop their language and literacy skills.
Babies need you to …
Talk to them so they can hear the sound of your voice.
Read them stories and poems.
Name objects and people in books for them.
Hold them in your lap as you look at family photos and books together.
Let them pat, chew, hold, or bang a board book, while enjoying the sound of your voice.
Hold a high-contrast (black-and-white) picture book about 12 inches away from their eyes when they are very young and give them colorful books to look at by the time they are six months old.
Toddlers need you to …
Point out signs and symbols in the world around them.
Answer their "why" questions.
Encourage them to repeat familiar words and rhymes.
Let them turn a book's pages.
Read the same book to them over and over again.
Preschoolers need you to …
Help them make sense of print and put it to use.
Talk about the details in a book.
Encourage them to predict what will happen next in a story.
Help them relate what happens in a book to their own lives.
Show them how to write their names.
Record their stories.

Kaleb Meets Dennis Rodman, Interview Doesn't Go as Planned…
Saturday night, I made my way to the Independence Events Center for the first stop of the Ball Up Tour. I grew up in the era when kids were emulating the And 1 street-ball players at every park or playground you went to. The Ball Up tour is comprised of the old And1 street-ball team and the best basketball players from the city they are facing. The part of the night I was most looking forward to was a guaranteed interview with Dennis Rodman, the celebrity head coach for the Kansas City team.

LinuxWorld Tradeshow Shows Desktop Java
A few weeks ago I attended LinuxWorld up in San Francisco. I marched
around the tradeshow and took notes about what I saw, notably the
impressive collection of desktop Java applications on display. If I
was a good blogger or even a disciplined one, I would have immediately
collected my impressions and published them. Sadly I'm easily
distracted and rarely disciplined and so my little collection of
observations has been gathering dust. Just now I'm sitting on an
airplane bound for San Jose and the person seated in front of me has
graciously (and inexplicably) kept his seat upright, leaving enough
room for my hulking laptop to open. So it's time to get this little item
HP has a new storage rack named HP StorageWorks NAS 8000 which comes
with a Swing administration UI deployed as an applet. In addition to
displaying and setting administration parameters it allows to bring up
a performance monitor that graphically displays parameters like
network traffic etc. The representative I talked with said the
engineering team used Swing because they really wanted to do some
"hardcore coding". I'm happy to report that they've produced a nice
GUI however it's always troubling to hear this kind of work described
as challenging. We need to find ways to make it easier.
I saw a bunch of nice looking Swing GUIs in the Veritas booth and also
in Dell's booth. Dell was showing the Veritas Cluster Manager
front-end. Most of the Veritas administration front-ends were Swing,
some of them looked pretty slick.
Computer Associates had a nice Swing GUI for their "eTrust AntiVirus
App". The CA representative on the floor showed me a similar and much
older Motif GUI running on Solaris. I voted for using the new Java
GUI on Solaris, I'll look for that next year.
Appro was one of the many companies showcasing a big dark intimidating
rack of servers and storage. They've got a very good looking remote
management GUI for their "BladeDome" (even the name sounds ominous)
HPC product.
Novell was showing their Swing GUI for the "GroupWise" Personal
Information Manager (PIM) front-end. Apparently they've got a native
Win32 PIM and they use the Java version to reach the Mac/Linux/Solaris
I talked with a very tired but very friendly and helpful
representative from Arkeia about the very futuristic Java front-end
they've built for their backup system. It looks more like a custom
MP3 player than a backup admin console - definitely the most exotic
admin console I've seen.
GenaWare is a small map visualization company. They've got Swing
client called "GeoVisJ" that based on a custom vector graphics map
renderer. The GUI isn't going to win any beauty contests but map data
is always interesting, and they've got a lot of it.
I'm sure you'd like to see screenshots of some of these apps. We'll
try and collect a nice set in an upcoming Swing Sightings column.
Don't miss the current column (yes, this is a shameless plug), you'll
find it

Garry Davis is married and a father of six. He lives in Katy and is an oil field worker. He has a disease called hemocromatosis--too much iron in his blood. Normally this is managed by periodically drawing off some blood. But for Davis the disease caused a lot of damage the first time he became aware of it.
Garry Davis needed a heart and liver transplant. Garry Davis waited almost three months before he got the call that a heart and liver were available and things happened very quickly.
A double transplant like this needs four teams to make it happen. One each to harvest the heart and liver and one each to transplant them. Dr. Matthias Loebe is a transplant surgeon at The Methodist Hospital and led the heart transplant team.
Dr. John Goss lead the liver transplant team. He says studies show the new liver actually benefit the heart.
The other rare event in this story is that there were organs to be transplanted. 88,000 Americans are waiting for a lifesaving transplant, 6,000 in Texas. Everyday 17 die because no organs became available.
Like many of us Davis spent a lot of time working and providing for his family, but he says over the last four months he's been thinking about something more important.

The popular anime Akira has long been considered "the anime" by people who are knowledgeable about such things. I myself was too busy having sex and playing sports (read: reading comic books) to be interested in anime, but even I have heard of Akira, which is "set in a metropolis that was rebuilt after being destroyed decades earlier by Akira, a child with immense psychic powers." Psychic powers, future Japan…I admit, this sounds pretty cool.
Anyway, Steve Kloves, who wrote all but one of the Harry Potter movies, has been hired to polish the script by Albert Torres. We'll see if this means the studio (Warner Brothers) plans to market Akira to the Harry Potter crowd, probably by putting advertisements in all of my comic books and computer games or something. Nerds. (via Variety)

Last Modified: Monday, January 22, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
A Gallant man was arrested on burglary and theft charges after he was seen coming from a vacant house on Friday, according to a news release from the office of Sheriff James Hayes.
Ben F. Jones, 45, was arrested at his residence on Gallant Road about noon Friday after he was identified as the man who was seen coming from a residence on Payne Road, Altoona, according to the news release.
Another resident who lives on that road noticed a brown car in the driveway, then saw a man coming out of the house with a handful of items when he pulled up, Etowah County Sheriff's Department investigator Paul Williams Jr. said.
The resident who pulled up fired a shot at the car and the man ran down the road.
Jones was charged with two counts of burglary, one count each of first-degree theft, second-degree theft - both felonies; and third-degree theft, a misdemeanor, Williams said.

Chili-Rubbed Steak Tacos & Cucumber-Avocado Salsa
Happy 4th of July! I'm celebrating America's independence with a recipe that's perfect for a summer BBQ. Its quick, flavorful, and healthy. I hope that everyone enjoys the warm air, grilled goodies, and exploding fireworks today. And if you're not American, enjoy your Sunday (or Monday, depending on where you're located!).
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Wonderfully flavorful, a little spicy, and super fresh. This recipe produced tacos that are better than most I've had at Spanish restaurants.
Texture: The steak is tender and the salsa lends both a satisfying crunch and a indulgent velvety texture.
Ease: Very easy and quick. You don't even have to let this marinade and it will still produce super flavorful beef.
Appearance: Beautiful combination of colors and shapes. My red cabbage went bad before I could use it for this recipe so unfortunately there's no brilliant red-purple in my photo.
Cons: The salsa can't be saved for leftover snacks or meals but chances are there won't be any salsa left.
Pros: Quick, easy, healthy, and bursting with flavor.
Would I make this again? Yes!
Chili Rubbed Steak Tacos
Yield: 6 servings
For the tacos:
For the Cucumber-Avocado Salsa:
For the tacos:
1. In a small bowl stir together chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, salt and cayenne pepper. Rub spice mixture on both sides of steaks.
2. Grill or broil steaks for 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare, turning once. Remove from grill and let meat sit for 10 minutes. Carve into thin slices.
3. Warm tortillas by placing them on the grill, for about 30 seconds, turning once. Or place 6 tortillas at a time between 2 moist paper towels and microwave for 45 seconds. Wrap in cloth napkin or place in a tortilla warmer to keep warm.
4. Place the carved steak, warm tortillas, cabbage, cilantro, lime and Cucumber-Avocado Salsa in serving dishes and let diners make their own tacos at the table.
For the salsa:
Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and toss gently to combine. Serve within an hour or preparing.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- The looming sequester may dramatically slow medical research.
Officials at theNational Institutes of Health warn the budget cuts they face if the sequester is implemented will be devastating to new research.
NIH faces a possible 1.5 billion dollar cut, which would mean a 5 percent cut across the board for every program.
National Institutes of Health Director, Dr. Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D.says, "Cuts will spell slower progress against our most common diseases, such as alzheimer's, cancer, AIDS, diabetes, and heart disease."
Dr. Collins says cuts may also mean a delay in creating the next vaccine for influenza.
Senator Barbara A.Mikulski(D-Md.) toured NIH Wednesday afternoon.Shewarns of the direct impact the research cuts may have in her home state.
Sen. Mikulski says, "It will be an impact on 15-thousand Marylanders, who work either at NIH or who benefit from the research funding at other Maryland institutions, whether it is Johns Hopkins, the University of Maryland and nearby institutes."
The Chairwoman of theSenate Appropriations Committeewarns if action is not taken soon, we will be hurting ourselves as a nation.
Sen. Mikulski says, "We talk a lot about threats to the United States, we fear foreign predators and terrorism. We fear foreign competition, 'oh, what are the chinese doing?', but whatwe are about to inflict upon us is a self-inflicted wound."
The deadline to end the federalfiscal standoff toavoid the sequester cuts is March 1st.

Top Ten Things Parents Disagree On
How to discipline your children, giving in to tantrums and one of you saying yes to a child when the other just said no are amongst the top things parents are most likely to disagree about, research has revealed. The study commissioned by Care.com found the average parent will argue with their other half eight times a month about something to do with bringing up their children, and the topic to most likely cause one of these rows is how to discipline their child.
Majority of parents want life saving lessons included in school timetables
Most parents feel that their child should be taught basic first aid as part of the national curriculum, according to the first aid charity St John Ambulance. Its research also found that nearly two-thirds of children have no life saving knowledge at all, leaving them without the skills to deal with basic emergency situations such as identifying if someone is breathing or how to help someone who is choking.

Following a high-profile campaign to get more mums breastfeeding - including women posting breastfeeding selfies known as 'Brelfies'on social media and protests at a stores accused of not supporting nursing mums - public opinion has now turned hard against mums who bottle feed their tots.

[[WMG: The end of the play was an {{inverted}} "[[PleaseWakeUp Death=Sleep]]" and "[[PhallicWeapon Sword In My Pocket]]" combo metaphor.]]
Romeo goes to the tomb and gets blitzed drunk on the "poison" (as in "[[DrinkOrder What's your poison?]]" or "[[Creator/{{Plato}} the measure makes the poison]]"). Juliet's [[TrueLovesKiss kiss]] wakes [[GenderFlip him]] up, and she sheathes his knife within her... heart. Then they skip town and leave the friar to explain his knowledge of the situation, and Prince Escalus makes [[AnAesop his heartfelt speech about the maleficence of feuds]] either before [[XanatosSpeedChess or]] [[GovernmentConspiracy after]] discovering the truth.
[[WMG: The entire "You didn't leave me any poison, perhaps I'll kiss you and see if there's any left on your lips" speech was a parody or [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of TrueLovesKiss.]]
Were it a [[PlayingWithATrope genderbent]] fairy tale, Romeo would have woken up. Since it was [[TropeOverdosed Shake]][[SeinfeldIsUnfunny speare]], [[TwistEnding he didn't]], and [[DownerEnding Juliet killed herself]].
[[WMG: The Capulets and Montagues are Mafia families.]]
This would explain why the feuding is so heated, and why the prince (who may or may not be the Godfather in actuality) is the only one to intervene.
* Isn't this similar to how the [[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet Baz Luhrmann film]] played it? (Other than that the "Prince" is a cop surnamed Prince!)
[[WMG: Benvolio orchestrated everything.]]
Because he is the next Montague heir in line, he plotted - possibly with Rosaline - to get Romeo to marry someone unsuitable and get disowned, so that he would inherit the Montague fortune. However, after Mercutio - the one person Benvolio truly cares about - is killed, partly because of his plotting, Benvolio decides to get revenge by orchestrating the death of everyone else.
[[WMG: Friar Lawrence orchestrated everything]]
He didn't send the letter, deliberately driving Romeo and Juliet to suicide, in order to show the families how futile their feud was.
[[WMG: Romeo and Juliet already knew each other.]]
Rosaline? Invented so that Romeo's friends wouldn't suspect him of loving a Capulet (or being gay). The conversation at the masque? Playful flirtation. Juliet's surprise at learning his identity? Sarcasm, of the "isn't playing with fire FUN?" variety. Of course, this isn't the original intent of the story, but it would be interesting to see their relationship played this way.
* Rosaline ''was'' a Capulet--Lord Capulet's niece, as mentioned in the party guest list. However, it could seem a lot safer for Romeo's friends to think he was in love with part of the Capulet extended family as opposed to Lord and Lady Capulet's only child. I like this theory. It certainly puts Romeo and Juliet in a better light--even if they're still acting like idiots, they at least have built a loving, lasting relationship with each other before deciding to get married/die for their love.
** Did Romeo ever tell anyone other than Friar Lawrence that he had been in love with Rosaline? The name never came up in his conversation with Benvolio before the party. Romeo did say that he was in love with a woman, but not which woman in particular.
[[WMG:Benvolio is dead by the end.]]
I've always thought it seems a bit weird that he just stops appearing after Mercutio dies. Perhaps they were actually [[YaoiGuys in love]] and he just nipped off to kill himself right after Mercutio's death. Or maybe after hearing that Romeo had killed himself, he decided that as all his friends were dead, he had nothing left to live for. He's just a sensitive sort of guy, which is why he's opposed to everyone else's constant fighting. It's just no one had noticed he was dead yet by the end of the play, which is why no one talks about it. But that's why he abruptly stops appearing.
[[WMG: The mutual hatred between the Capulets and Montagues stems from them being [[AssassinsCreed Assassins and Templars]]]]
Which one is which is anyone's guess, though.

US-Philippines 'Balikatan' war games to start in April-A A +A
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
MANILA -- The annual Balikatan exercises between the Philippines and United States Armed Forces will take place from April 5 to 17, the United States Embassy in Manila said Tuesday.
Balikatan is an annual Philippines-US military bilateral training exercise and humanitarian assistance engagement, the embassy said in a statement.
This year, members of the Philippines and US armed forces will undertake joint humanitarian assistance projects in communities in Zambales province.
In mid-March, preliminary works will begin on community infrastructure projects, the embassy said.
"The Balikatan series of exercises focuses on training both the US and Philippines armed forces to provide relief and assistance in the event of natural disasters and other crises that endanger public health and safety," the embassy added.
Aside from the infrastructure projects in Zambales, armed forces of both countries will also conduct combined staff exercises and field training in Camp O'Donnell, Crow Valley, Subic Bay and Fort Magsaysay "to improve interoperability and contingency planning."
Balikatan 2013 is the 29th iteration of this annual exercise.
This year, the Philippines and the United States have invited a small number of personnel from other partner nations in the region to attend a portion of the exercise.
"Balikatan" in English means "shoulder-to-shoulder."
The embassy said that the word "characterizes the spirit of the exercise and the Philippines-US alliance." (CVB/Sunnex)

The party also ousted seven other leaders for supporting the 'rebels'. Party sources said, the expulsion decision was taken a meeting of the district committee, presided by Ali Reza Raju, president of the district unit AL. Jahurul Islam, office secretary of the district unit AL, said the district committee expelled three leaders -- Sirajul Islam Manju, president of Sharsha upazila unit AL, Musa Mahmud, member of Jhikargachha upazila unit AL, and Manzur Rashid Swapan, member of Bagharpara upazila unit AL. Sirajul Islam Manju contested for the post of chairman in Sharsha upazila, Musa Mahmud for the post of vice chairman in Jhikargachha upazila while Manjur Rashid Swapan ran the race for the position of chairman in Bagharpara upazila. Meanwhile, the district unit AL expelled seven leaders -- vice-president Saleh Ahmed Mintu, secretary general Nuruzzaman and joint-secretary Professor Ibrahim of Sharsha upazila and joint secretary Mostafa Anwar Pasha Jamal, organising secretary Ramzan Sharif Badsha, youth and sports secretary Nasimul Habib Shifar and technology secretary Abul Kashem Biswas of Jhikargachha upazila for carrying out campaign on behalf of the independent (rebel) candidates, ignoring the party choices, Zahurul added.


text: Oomegangfan 5pts I guess it just wouldn't be a car website without some juvenile comments like the one that cars3 made below. It's $32k because it's bigger than a Sonata, has a more powerful engine, is more luxurious than a Sonata and offers more standard features. As for "the much better 2013 BMW 3 series," well, talk about an apples-to-oranges comparison. The Azera and the 328i aren't in the same class of cars, if you happened to notice. You might as well complain that the 3-series offers little storage and utility compared to your F150. Oh, and try to buy a 328i for $37,000. If you can find one, it will be stripped down, with leatherette seats and no options. Add the options to bring it up to the Azera's feature level and you're going to be paying at least $5,000 more. Did you notice that every 2013 328i that the four major car mags tested had a sticker price of at least $50,000 (although some of those options were sports/handling related, not luxury options)?

Assuming that you have wrestled the various technical issues of getting a good reading out of the encoder, you can use those readings for use in the fine art of odometry. Though odometry and mapping were mentioned in Applied Robotics, it is a topic worthy of a quick reprise here.
Odometry is the art of translating the individual wheel motions of differential (i.e. tank) drive robots into the change in position and orientation of those robots. As in all things mathematical, the odometry equations describe the behavior of an idealized robot (as shown to the right). In this ideal robot there are two infinitesimal contact points, one on each wheel where it touches the ground. In the real world, our wheels are several inches wide and there is no telling where the actual contact point is. Anyway, the space between the contact points is the width W of the robot. At the midpoint between these contacts is the center of the robot (at least, as far as the odometry is concerned).
To calculate the change in position and orientation of the robot across a given span of time, you merely take the linear distance DR and DL each wheel has traveled (calculated from the number of ticks from the encoders and the diameter of the wheels; you figure it out!) and plug it into the following equations.
The new orientation (which is in radians) is calculated by:
The distance traveled during this time span is:
In the case of the distance traveled, we are calculating a linear approximation of a curved path. As such, the longer the interval between calculations the worse this approximation is going to be.
If you are working with a map (or are trying to build one as you travel), the new Cartesian coordinate of the robot is calculated as:
XT+1 = XT + DT,T+1cos(OT+1)
YT+1 = YT + DT,T+1sin(OT+1)
The internal ticking (from time T to time T+1, T+2, and onward into infinity) that drives the odometry can also be used to collect other impressions from the senses. These can be correlated with the robot's position in space and time, to build up a map of space and the events that occur in it.
Of course, this is all easier said than done.
