Usually the passage of time weakens cold homicide cases. Key witnesses die or move away, evidence is misplaced and memories fade.
But in one significant way it was easier to prove Kimberly "Kimmy" Greene-Medina was murdered this past week than it would have been if the case had gone to trial in 1996: it proved that the 19-year-old mother wasn't just missing, but dead.
A jury found Michael J. Medina guilty Friday of murdering his wife Greene-Medina. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Two prosecutors in District Attorney George Brauchler's office took the case against Medina to trial despite some big holes in the case.
John Kellner, a deputy district attorney in Brauchler's newly formed cold case unit, and Cara Morlan, also a deputy district attorney, didn't have a body, a weapon, a murder scene or an eye witness to help prove their case.
"It wasn't just not having a body but it was also the complete lack of a crime scene as well," said Kellner.
Kimmy's remains have yet to be found. There was little or no physical evidence confirming a story of how she died.
Greene-Medina's family and friends had long said she would never abandon her two young daughters, then 2 and 3 years old. But it still could have happened.
Kellner and Morlan studied cases around the country in which prosecutors took murder cases to trial without a body.
"There weren't a lot of cases but there were some," Kellner said.
Among the cases they reviewed was the murder of Kristina Tournai-Sandoval on Oct. 19, 1995 in Greeley.
Weld County prosecutors took the case to trial 15 years later even though Tornai-Sandoval's remains were never found and very little new evidence had been discovered in the intervening years. Previous district attorneys had declined to file charges against Tournai-Sandoval's estranged husband John Sandoval primarily because there was no body.
What one prosecutor saw as an impossible barrier to overcome, another had seen as the strongest evidence of all. No sign of Tournai-Sandoval had ever been found because she was no longer alive.
So Kellner and Morlan and a large team of local, state and federal investigators who are part of the Safe Streets Task Force in Denver set about to prove that Kimmy had not been seen or heard from in 17 years because she too was dead.
Part of the advantage they had was tied to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In the years since the destruction of the Twin Towers, local federal and even international agencies collected and shared personal identification information about people on a much expanded level, Kellner said.
FBI, Homeland Security, and border patrol agents searched for every possible record for the young mother.
There were absolutely no leads anywhere that Kimmy had used a credit card, a passport, her driver's license or social security number anywhere in 17 years, Kellner said. "She was a 19-year-old woman who completely fell off the grid."
Kimmy was not sophisticated enough to change her identity and live completely off the grid, Kellner said.
And she had long established habits suggesting that she would never abandon her two daughters or her friends and family. She spoke with some family members on a daily basis and then suddenly stopped calling and visiting them ever again.
Kellner and Morlan said the district attorney's office had to make the solving of Kimmy's case a priority worth committing limited resources.
About 50 witnesses were interviewed in Aurora and around the country to explain why it was not plausible that Kimmy would simply vanish.
Her absence corroborated a story Medina told in 2005 to his second wife and conflicted with his explanation of her habits.
While accusing Becky Garel of adultery, he vowed vengeance. If she had any doubt about his commitment to make Garel suffer he confessed that he had killed his first wife nine years earlier.
Garel would tell authorities that her husband told her he repeatedly beat Greene-Medina with a bat, pulled her into a hole he had dug in a field east of Aurora and buried her while she gagged on dirt, according to an Alamosa County Sheriff's Office report.
He then threatened to kill their 16-month-old son and commit suicide so that Garel would have to suffer emotionally the remainder of her life.
Authorities would later find the body of their son Degan near a waste lagoon in Monte Vista. Medina was convicted of killing his son and sentenced to 48 years in prison.
Kellner and Morlan were also able to show that Medina's initial description of what had become of Greene-Medina, his first wise, was highly unlikely, Kellner said.
Medina originally claimed his first wife went missing while walking to a store for cigarettes with people he didn't know.
He told police that his wife was irresponsible and would often leave without saying where she was going. His story was much different than what dozens of friends and family would say.
Medina would later ask a fellow inmate to murder Garel. The prisoner instead went to authorities.
Morlan said the conviction gives closure to Kimmy's family, including her two young daughters, who testified at their father's sentencing Friday.
They never wanted to believe that their father would kill their mother who they could not remember, she said. Now they know.

10% growth for 2014, says Semiconductor Intelligence
2014 semiconductor growth could double 2013 rate, says Bill Jewell's Semiconductor Intelligence, which is projecting 10% growth for this year.
Other forecasts made in the last three months are:
Objective Analysis 20
VLSI Research 9
Semico 9
Future Horizons 8
Deutsche Bank 8
IC Insights 7
Digitimes. 5.2
Mike Cowan 3.6
Overall, Q4 2013 declined 0.8% from Q3 for full year growth of 4.8%.
4Q 2013 revenue changes versus 3Q 2013 ranged from +42% at Micron to -18% at Hynix.
Companies' revenue guidance for 1Q 2014 indicates an overall decline in revenue from 4Q 2013, ranging from -16% at, to -11% at Renesas, to -9.5% at ST, to -7.5% at Intel, to -4.3% at Brodcom, to -3.4% at Qualcomm, to -2.6% at TI to +5% at Infineon to +9.1% at Toshiba.
The weighted average guidance for 1Q 2014 is a decline of about 5%.
"Our 10% growth forecast is largely driven by an expectation of accelerating World GDP growth," says Jewell, "the IMF January outlook calls for World GDP growth of 3.7% in 2014, up from 3.0% in 2013. Acceleration is driven by developed economies, with the U.S. expected to accelerate to 2.8% in 2014 versus 1.9% in 2013. The Euro Area should recover from a 0.4% decline in 2013 to 1.0% growth in 2014. The strongest growth continues to be in emerging and developing economies, growing 5.1% in 2014, up from 4.7% in 2013. Although China is forecast to decelerate slightly from 7.7% to 7.5%, most other developing economies are projected to show accelerating GDP growth in 2014."

Teach Your Children Well: Parenting for Authentic Successby Madeline Levine
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Psychologist Madeline Levine brings together cutting-edge research and thirty years of clinical experience to explode once and for all the myth that good grades, high test scores, and college acceptances should define the parenting endgame.
Parents, educators, and the media wring their hands about the plight of America's children and teens—soaring rates of emotional problems, limited coping skills, disengagement from learning and yet there are ways to reverse these disheartening trends. Teach Your Children Well acknowledges that every parent wants successful children. However, until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, impaired children who believe they are only as good as their last performance. Real success is always an inside job, argues Levine, and is measured not by today's report card but by the people our children become fifteen or twenty years down the line.
Refusing to be diverted by manufactured controversies such as "tiger moms versus coddling moms," Levine confronts the real issues behind the way we push some of our kids to the breaking point while dismissing the talents and interests of many others. She shows us how to shift our focus from the excesses of hyperparenting and the unhealthy reliance on our children for status and meaning to a parenting style that concentrates on both enabling academic success as well as developing a sense of purpose, well-being, connection, and meaning in our children's lives.
Teach Your Children Well is a call to action. And while it takes courage to make the changes we believe in, the time has come, says Levine, to return our overwrought families to a healthier and saner version of themselves.
"In this powerful text, psychologist Levine (The Price of Privilege) argues that 'our version of success is a failure.' Levine reports that our nation's ideas of success have led to children and teens who are stressed, anxious, depressed, and exhausted (as are many parents). Kids are on a fast track to higher grades and impressive tests scores, prestigious colleges, and relentless competition — goals that are wearing everyone out — rather than focusing on such skills as resilience, creativity, innovative thinking, and the ability to collaborate. While academics are important, Levine maintains, growing up to become authentically successful involves making friends, playing, developing a sense of self and emotional intelligence, and many other nonacademic tasks. In separate chapters, the author takes readers through the stages of child development that occur in elementary, middle school, and high school, and includes practical tips on how parents can help kids flourish during each phase. According to Levine, our society is at a 'tipping point,' and it's time to redefine success so that kids can meet their full potential in academic and other areas without relinquishing their well-being. The text also includes various examples that illustrate the ways in which kids and parents are struggling with our 'dysfunctional system.' Though bucking the trend may be a challenge, parents who want their kids to succeed without compromising their health or losing the joy of learning will be buoyed by Levine's support, encouragement, and guidance."

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
We believed those researchers. Experience confirmed what they told us. Usually. I have a friend whose fiery passion for her man was the kind that didn't need much foreplay. A bed, a couch, a table, a floor, a wall, a closet, a kitchen. Anyplace. Anytime. They were burning it up. The passion lasted eight years.
"Eight years," I squealed. "Who gets eight years?"
"Then it ended," she said, like I should feel sorry for her. I didn't.
And now it turns out that I have a lot more people not to feel sorry for. The scientists now say they got it wrong. Passion never plays out for a lucky 30 percent of couples.
Researchers discovered this when they put some young people who were recently and madly in love on brain scanners. The kids' brains lit up the screens with feel-good dopamine. Their brains looked like those of people on cocaine.
Then researchers did the same tests with couples who'd been married 20 years and claimed to be still passionately in love. These older couples' brains looked like they were on cocaine too, proving that they weren't just braggarts and liars, as everyone probably assumed. They really were passionately in love, just like the kids.
Where did they find these lucky couples? I certainly don't know any of them. If I do, they've had the grace to keep their mouths shut about it. Twenty years? I don't believe it. I think they were all on cocaine.

Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams
Alert - Latest Email, Text, and Phone Call Scams
Below is a report of a current Phone Call Scam as recent as January 21, 2015:
We have received reports of a phone call scam on January 21, 2015 involving calls to both bank customers and non-customers regarding debit cards being blocked. The automated message asks customers to input their debit card and/or account numbers. The phone number is blocked, or its display may include a "6" or "106."
While you may NOT have been targeted in this attack, we are taking this opportunity to remind our customers that such automated messages are fraudulent and no information should be entered. People's United Bank never contacts customers by phone with automated messages regarding blocked debit cards, nor with requests for sensitive information such as PIN, passwords, account numbers, username, personal, or account information.
If you believe you were a victim of this scam and provided any information over the phone, please contact our Call Center immediately at 1-800-894-0300. When uncertain about your debit card, call the phone number on the back of your card to verify if there are any problems.
Scams You Should Learn About
Phishing is designed to fraudulently trick you to reveal your private information via email
The term Smishing originates from "SMS" phishing (Short Message Service) it is the technology used to send text messages to cellular phones. Like phishing, smishing is designed to fraudulently trick you to reveal your private information.
What are Scammers trying to Obtain?
Phishing and Smishing scammers are trying to trick you to fraudulently reveal your private information – such as Social Security number, ATM PIN, user name, password, bank account or credit card numbers via email messages and/or text messages.
What you should look for
These type of messages may appear to be urgent and may contain a phone number for you to call, that may connect to an automated voice response system or they may contain a website URL.
To make these e-mails seem more realistic, the senders often duplicate the company logo and familiar formats or redirect to a fraudulent website. These emails are often masked under the name of a trusted source such as the FDIC, a trusted financial institution, an Internet Service Provider - or even People's United Bank.
Recent Smishing Incident
Most recently, some consumers received text messages on their cellular phones that appeared to be a legitimate text message from People's United Bank. The text message requests customers to verify account and PIN number information to process a payment. These text messages are designed to trick you into revealing your private information.
Phishing Incident
In the Past some consumers have received emails that seem legitimate and request updated billing, email or personal information. These emails are designed to trick you into revealing your private information -- possibly a Social Security number, ATM PIN, bank account or credit card numbers. This practice has become known as "phishing".
What Should You Do
If you get an email that warns you that an account of yours will be shut down unless you reconfirm your billing or email information, or that the bank is "missing" information about your account, do not reply or click on the link in the e-mail. Report any suspicious activity to the company where you maintain your account and to the Federal Trade Commission, immediately. If you have mistakenly responded to a smishing text message pretending to be from People's United Bank, you should notify your local branch immediately. To report a suspicious text or email that uses People's United Bank's name, you can forward it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ben 1
My name is Ben, and I'm gay.
I have told a few of my friends, so I am by no means open yet. I'm not afraid of how my peers at school would react, but I'm afraid of my parents reaction.
Both of my parents have expressed to me how much they hate the idea of gay marriage, and that being gay is a sin. I don't know what to believe. The bible says that it is an abomination, but I don't want it to be. Anyway, i have no idea if i should tell my parents; it would change everything between us.
There's this one guy i like and I'm almost 100% sure that he's gay/bi, but i still don't know how to tell him. I mean even if he is gay, i doubt that he would like me. i loooooooove spending time with him; he always makes me smile. I have never had my first kiss. I feel so alone...

Body Victories
I'm calling my list "Lynn's Body Victories." Entries include the obvious ones like fitting in the bathtub and sitting on my husband's lap without suffocating him. However, I've also added a few less obvious ones, things I'd forgotten I couldn't do or hadn't paid close attention to until Barbara asked the question. I wanted to share a few of them with you in hopes that you'll collate your own list of Body Victories and add to it at every step of your weight loss and maintenance journey.
The last few days have been a steam bath here in western PA. Temps in the upper 80s and low 90s with high humidity. I used to hate summer at any weight over 200 pounds. Absolutely dreaded it. Nothing put me in a bad mood faster than the heat. Anything above 85 degrees was a challenge to my respiratory system and sweat glands. It took a lot to cool me off. When most people went on vacation, I planned my activities around places with air conditioning. I avoided, as best I could, amusement parks, zoos, or any place where I had to walk in the sun. I was miserable and sad when it was hot and humid.
This latest heat wave, though, reminded me that the last few summers haven't been so bad. In fact, I like being warm. I don't mind sweating. I enjoy sitting on the porch in the afternoon and the deck in the evenings. I don't want to be inside in the air conditioning. I prefer to sleep when it's cool and so I sleep with the air on when it's warm and muggy at night, but my days are better now a million fold.
One of the little things I added to my list was painting my toenails. I remember very well the days when that wasn't comfortable or even possible. Bending over when my stomach was so large cut off my breath. Hardly worth pretty toenails. It was a pleasure to give myself a pedicure last night on the deck.
Lastly, I wore spandex bike shorts on our bike ride this morning without covering up with a loose pair of shorts. Even last year I wouldn't have worn spandex in public because I thought, "What would people think if they saw my loose inner thigh skin? They'd react in shock and horror, no doubt!" So silly. This year, I don't give a crap what people think about me in spandex. In fact, I'm only concerned how I feel in spandex and I think I look pretty darn good. Body Victory!
At the 8-mile mark of the particular ride my husband and I did today, the point at which we turn around and head back, there's a significant hill. We downshift to a low gear and peddle our legs off. At the top, we're breathing hard, reaching for our water bottles and feeling pretty damn good because we know we saved the best for last: coasting down the hill we just climbed. As I soared down that hill this morning, the wind in my face and my tires whirring under me, I celebrated the hill I climbed to lose 168 pounds because it's been worth every fun downhill glide since then.
What's on your Body Victory list? What do you hope to add to your Body Victory list?

Hmmm.....I can only think of the obvious stuff. Now you've really got me thinking. I'll have to type up a list. :)ReplyDelete

Thanks Lynn,ReplyDelete
Just stumbled across your site looking for a bit of inspiration and it worked. I have lost 20 pounds of the 45 I needed to lose, but had hit that stage....you know, a bit of success and all of a sudden sabotage behaviour kicks in. I still can't figure out if it's just complacency or actual sabotage. Either way, I know the only way to defeat it is to change my dialogue and push through. I love that people are commenting how great I look, so why, right at that time do i find an excuse to skip the gym and eat Macdonald's?
I know my sensible eating plan and kicking my butt in the gym IS working (imagine!), so why do I feel so tempted to revert to behaviours that got me to a place I'm uncomfortable in? One of your posts really spoke to me. Instead of chastising myself, I'm going to question myself. That doesn't mean I'm going to "justify" my change in behaviour, that won't do me any good either. But, I thank you for helping me start this day with a question instead of negative self talk. Now, to the answers. Why, why, why when I've tasted success, gone down two dress sizes, am feeling much better physically and mentally, am I fighting it? Why is the call of the quarter pounder and a night on the couch with potato chips stronger than the success that I REALLY am enjoying. If you or any of your readers have any insight, I'd love to know. In the meantime, I think I've got one foot firmly back on the wagon. I can white knuckle through anything for a time. I just want to deal with this head-on so it doesn't sabotage my long term goals.
Great topic.ReplyDelete
This may sound gross, but my favorite thing was discovering that I really do have bones under my skin. Hip bones, behind-the-neck bones (spinal cord), shoulder bones, ribs... When overweight, I only remember feeling "soft" all over. I love feeling more toned now.
Wearing skirts and not worrying about my thighs rubbing together and giving me rashes.
Here's a silly one - when standing up, not having to immediately pull my shirt down over my butt because A) Sometimes some shirts I wear are too short anyway and B) I'm not self-conscious about covering my big old behind or pulling my shirt "away" from my fat rolls.
- Linda BJune 9, 2008 at 9:14 AM
1. Crossing my legs.ReplyDelete
2. Loving warm weather (same reason as Lynn)
3. Shopping in the regular sizes
4. Not having to wear control-top pantyhose.

A HUGE motivating part for me is shedding the body shame. No longer walking into a party *knowing* I am the biggest one there. Or avoiding the party altogether. Not feeling like everyone turns their head and judges when I eat a dessert. Then going home knowing EVERYONE was talking about how big you've gotten. (Yes I have demons.)ReplyDelete
It is also fun to try on swimsuits and pick one that fits and is flattering, rather than looking for the biggest tent I can hide under!
Hey there, Anonymous C. Are you writing down what's going on in your head? I find journaling helps me figure things out that I can't do by just thinking about them. Self-sabotage can only be stopped when we understand what's going on in our heads. Sometimes, too, it takes one meal at a time and an almost parental talk to our inner child who wants to eat McDonalds and other crap. "No, you CAN'T have that right now. Not this meal." Ugh. It's tough, I know, but just stay present, in the moment.ReplyDelete
Nothing momenumental, yet! I can't wait to have a list though!! Lynn, just wanted to comment on your comment to AnnoymousC, what GREAT advice. I never did that with my internal voice, and I think it would be very effective, for me anyway, since I am talking to my a 4-year old son that way, I might as well use it on myself too! I find your blog just lovely to read and very inspiring. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Deanna. BTW, I just told myself no to cereal. Why I wanted cereal I don't know, but I opened the cupboard and it was there and it sounded good, but I said no. I have Dirty Couscous leftovers out for dinner tonight. And broccoli. And that sounds good, too.ReplyDelete
<---loves cereal
Thanks so much for this thoughtful post. It has made me think of so many body changes that I am grateful for that I had started to take for granted. Some of the things I love: walking fast, crossing my legs, shopping for clothes that look good, and not just clothes that are adequate and cover me, getting in and out of the car gracefully, and driving with lots of space between my stomach and the steering wheel, not being afraid of getting on an airplane because I would overflow into the person next to me's seat, and wearing pretty shoes, including heels!ReplyDelete

Well, at the present time I am body defeated and victory-less. When I did lose weight, I think just being able to comfortably tuck a shirt in and wear it without the fear of mooning everyone was a HUGE victory for me. I loved to lose the constant habit of tugging at my clothes to make sure I wasn't "drafting" anywhere. LOL Another big thing for me was buying Levi's in a size that didn't have teen or ty at the end of it. 18 ...20...22. These are Good #s for ages, but NOT pants size. :)ReplyDelete
Body victories for me:ReplyDelete
Not having to turn sideways to get down an airplane aisle.
Sitting cross legged in my office chair.
Not worrying if a chair is going to collapse under my weight.
Wearing a belt!
1. Moving inbetween two objects (desks, boxes, people, etc) without having to turn sideways... even though I still do out of habit sometimes.ReplyDelete
2. Racing my son and almost winning.
3. Being able to pack a smaller suitcase because my clothes are smaller.
4. Walking, standing, running, jumping, etc. I used to get up in the morning with my feet hurting already. If we did anything where I was on my feet for more than an hour I would be in agony.
5. Sitting comfortably in a restaurant.

"This year, I don't give a crap what people think about me in spandex. In fact, I'm only concerned how I feel in spandex and I think I look pretty darn good."ReplyDelete
That rocks! Good for you! :)
One of my goals is to be able to run again. Not for fitness necessarily, but just for the joyful sense of freedom, like kids do. I haven't run since I was a kid.
Obvious ones would be fitting into new clothes and dancing in the public. Oh ah, feeling sexy and proud of yourself.ReplyDelete
I got to thinking about this blog and wanted to share a book I found with everyone.ReplyDelete
Back in February, when I started my personal weightloss journey, I found a book which addresses a part of weightloss we don't think about- the psychological aspect and how we view ourselves and our shrinking bodies. The book is called "Joining the Thin Club: Tips for Toning Your Mind after You've Trimmed Your Body". It's written by Judith Lederamn. She also has a website. Check out her website. http://thethinclub.typepad.com/
Um, you know . . . "married life." It's so much more joyful when you love your body!ReplyDelete
Sorry, TMI?

Efficacy and Safety of Imatinib in Scleroderma (SCLEROGLIVEC)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
In vitro studies have shown that imatinib 1mM inhibits strongly the growth of cutaneous fibroblasts. The hypothesis is that imatinib inhibits PDGFR which is known to be a potential target for the molecule, as recently also proposed after the discovery of autoantibodies activating the PDGF receptors. Recent data indicate that TGFb is also a potential target of imatinib. Cutaneous scleroderma is characterized by progressive cutaneous fibrosis caused by hyperactive dermal fibroblasts. Since no established treatment for skin sclerosis in scleroderma is currently available. This study will test the safety and efficacy of imatinib in the treatment of patients with scleroderma and severe cutaneous involvement.
Scleroderma, Localized
Scleroderma, Systemic
Drug: imatinib mesylate
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study

Bob, I recall that you made us aware of PJB's religious leanings long ago. And how this undermined him being effective for us. I just wanted to make everyone aware of the article.
ME: It's not PJB CATHOLIC religion that is the point. Evangelicals end up with the swame "religious" cop-out. I am sure you understand that the basic point is the blasphemy PJB and others use to cop out on race.
Back to Tim:
Now he just needs the Mantra. And until we see the Mantra in his articles, We cannot count on him. But I am going to keep one eye on Buchanan. I have a feeling about this one. PBJ is older and has made his money. He has nothing to prove to anyone. Everyone already thinks he's a racist. I think he may let the Mantra fly. Time will tell. He could give a Mantra Speech and be ushered into office Mussolini style. I am not counting on it. But stranger things have happened.
"Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.
Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation."
Quotes like the above give me pause. That is a Bus Ride quote. That is new for the mainstream conservatives.
We need to stop grousing about things and look for the real signs.
No more "shriek and retreat."
Back to Tim:
Remember Bob, you are on a bus with me. Patrick B is on this bus as well. Things change on this bus. And things can change very quickly. I have never seen religion play a role on a multiracial bus ride. And I am an authority on bus rides in the "hood". On this bus, there is only one issue…. RACE. Not Jesus. Not Catholicism. RACE. Not to mention this latest Obama flareup was started by a Preacher. Remember Bob, only White Churches are Anti-Racists.
Many Whites in charge (and their kids) have had the luxury of dodging the Bus Ride. Not anymore. And they are FINALLY realizing it. Since the Immigration Issue all the Respectables have tried to change the subject. It has become impossible now.
I don't care if Obama adopts white children. The White Cat is out of the bag. Seems like everything is moving right along. At the rate this is going, Sam Francis will look like a moderate in a few years. And the Liberals I am talking with everyday are starting to be the most radical. Didn't Liberals elect Hitler? LOL.
To confirm your LOL point, the Left actually DID elect Hitler. In 1933 Nazis and Communists combined held a majority of the Reichstag, One or the other had to be made a part of the government, and both made it clear that they would take over.

4 Reasons You Should Be Using #HuddleRooms: ow.ly/T8xHp
Cloud Video Experience (CVE) is a total video collaboration service delivered from the cloud that spans traditional endpoints, software clients and mobile devices. It features monthly subscriptions, for video conferencing systems and clients, which enable device setup and registration, B2B connectivity, and a company-wide directory. Setup is as simple as clicking a link in an email that automatically scans the user's network and configures the system automatically. Desktop and mobile users can configure their account on up to six different devices including smartphones and tablets.
In addition to enabling rooms and users, Cloud Video experience offers Virtual Meeting Rooms that allow multiple participants to meet face to face. These rooms provide connectivity to all standards-based video conferencing systems as well as interoperability with Microsoft Lync and WebRTC.
Cloud Video Experience is backed by a worldwide network that features PoPs (points of presence) in key cities throughout the world. Calls from endpoints and applications connected to the service are automatically routed to the closest location via the public internet. Once the call arrives at the data center, it travels to the recipient's closest data center via a private, guaranteed connection. Once there, the call then returns to the public internet for the "last mile." This approach results in a high quality call experience.

Three women in Florida have been arrested for severely beating a minor after she was suspended from school.
Ishiyah McGhee, 30, Moriyah McGhee, 32, and Janine McGhee, 39, were arrested Friday after a passerby witnessed them chasing the 14-year-old victim outside of their home, according to The New York Daily News.
When police arrived, the women were still holding belts and breathing heavily.
The violence began Friday morning after the women were called to the teen's school to discuss her suspension.
According to The Daily Mail, the three women were beating the girl in the parking lot as they walked to their car. They shoved her against cars, slapped her, and used her necklace to choke her.
When they returned to their home, the victim attempted to run away, but she was eventually dragged back, on the ground, by her sweatshirt while the hood choked her.
Things continued to escalate and Janine McGhee allegedly demanded to fight the girl before they removed her clothes. The women beat, punched and kicked the girl until police arrived.
The women have made waves with their jovial mugshots, Moriyah McGhee and Ishiyah McGhee wearing large grins, while Janine McGhee smirked.
The relation of the victim to the three women is currently unknown.
All of the women have been charged with child abuse with intent to do bodily harm.

To the horror of New Yorkers, visitors to the city, and to society in general, TGI Friday's opened their newest branch today at Union Square here in New York City (in a borough some have taken to calling "Mallhattan"), just blocks from where Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg and Lenny Bruce once roamed the streets. This makes me want to go home and read A Moveable Feast.

'The best way to address a worst-case scenario': Police pack new life-saving gear
CREATED Jan 9, 2013
Reporter: Kevin Keen
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - When emergency strikes and seconds count, first responders in Tucson now have a new tool to save lives.
The equipment came about after Tucson's police, fire and emergency management departments studied emergencies like the July 2012 theater shooting in Aurora, Colo. They found in the initial chaos and confusion, injured people are in need of immediate care but medics have to wait to get to them.
"That is the most critical phase in being able to save somebody's life," said Capt. Kris Blume, Tucson Fire Department. "What we need to be able to do is apply basic first aid, basic life support efforts."
But Blume explained medics, per standard procedure, cannot enter a scene until law enforcement find and stop the threat, which in a mass shooting situation could be gunman.
Tucson Police Sgt. Chris Widmer added that takes time.
"If you can imagine certain places like a mall or a school, it can take a long time for the police to ensure that there's no one else there that can harm anyone," the department spokesman said.
The city's new equipment is specifically for officers and others on scene during the first moments of response. They're "mass casualty incident response kits," always packed in patrol sergeants' trunks. Think of them as big bags holding six advanced first aid kits.
"It's not just a first aid kit," Blume said. "These are actually designed for large, traumatic injuries."
There are over-sized bandages and gauze that police can use on a gunshot or car crash victim, for example, until medics can safely move in.
"We know that these kits will be deployed in the right set of circumstances -- that patients will have a positive outcome," Blume said.
"The best way to address a worst-case scenario," he said.
Tucson police have eight customized kits. Regular kits have a retail price of about $2,500 apiece. Federal funding paid for the project.

Adam Lind and Rod Barajas each homered twice, with Lind's first career grand slam helping power Toronto to a big early lead before the Blue Jays held on for a 18-10 victory over the slipping Texas Rangers on Monday night.
Lind had a career-high eight RBIs, matching the most in the
majors this season when he hit a solo homer and a three-run double
in Toronto's seven-run ninth that finally put the game out of reach
after Texas had rallied from an 11-run deficit to make it 11-10.
The Rangers (72-58), who came up short of their largest comeback
victory in team history, wrapped up a losing August and dropped
four games behind idle Boston in the AL wild-card race.

text: 5 useful travel apps for smartphones and tablets David Rowan's Blog 06 February 12 Shutterstock.com David Rowan Editor of Wired magazine Follow @iRowan I write the Travel Tech column each month in our sister magazine, Conde Nast Traveller. Here is the column from the December 2011 issue. You can subscribe to the magazine here.This column's mission to end hotels' scandalously high Wi-Fi charges continues. A few weeks ago, I took the crusade to the World Youth and Student Travel Conference in Barcelona, where after giving a keynote speech I implored the industry to boycott hotels that charge for basic internet access (make us pay for high-end access by all means, I explained, but gouging us for simple email-checking is like charging extra for running a bath). You can never predict how an audience will respond to such provocation, but in this case the applause suggested the campaign is gaining ground. Whew.I came away with something else I'd like to share with you: the results of a contest launched by the conference to identify the industry's best travel apps for smartphones and tablets. Organisers estimate that there are 17,000 travel apps on the market -- which presents quite a challenge in terms of knowing which are actually worthwhile. You'll have downloaded Conde Nast Traveller's own supremely useful city guides, of course. Beyond these, the contest's top five, as chosen by thousands of votes, offers a pretty useful list of others you might want to explore.TripLingo A translation app with features such as a phonetic pronunciation guide, a "Slang Slider" to include more or fewer colloquialisms, and flash cards to help you memorise phrases. Inevitably it incorprorates a points system that turns language-learning into a game. It's available in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dari and, er, Pirate. For iPhone (£6.99 to free), triplingo.comAsk a Nomad If you have a pressing travel question -- Where to go birdwatching in Ireland? Can you cycle on the Golden Gate Bridge? --the World Nomads community of more than 11,000 travellers from 129 countries will share its knowledge in search of an answer. Useful for researching a destination before you go; also offers a "Nearby" feature to help you discover interesting things once you're there. For iPad (free), worldnomads.comTripSketch Green Book If you're looking to cut your carbon footprint as you travel while optimising your experience, this app is designed to help. It offers "eco-friendly activities and experiences" in more than 80 cities so you can support more sustainable local businesses without missing the main sights. For Apple, Android and Ovi (£2.99-£4), tripsketch.com/mobileThe don Quijote Spanish PhraseBook A portable Spanish phrasebook that works offline (helpful when avoiding unwelcome roaming charges). Download the app before you go, and you have access to categories of vocabulary, with a basic 500 words and phrases to help buy that movie ticket or order those tapas. For Android, Windows Phone 7 (free), donquijote.orgTourist Eye A trip-planner that lets you create a personalised itinerary before you go, and a journal of your photos, messages and check-ins to enjoy once you're back. Usefully, it works offline so you can avoid those nasty roaming charges. For iPhone and Android (free), touristeye.comHmm, maybe our next campaign should be aimed at bringing down those appalling data-roaming charges. Anyone want to come on board?Image: Shutterstock.com Edited by Dan Smith Comments Thank goodness, someone has decided to speak out about the "scandalously high Wi-Fi charges" you said it best so I had to quote you. It is despicable and after a weary business trip for Dish and high hotel costs, the last thing I need is to have a hotel smack me in the face with more fees. Your article reminds me of the long ago commercial where each amenity (like the shower) had to be paid with quarters in the home before it could be turned on. I have used Ask a Nomad on many of my business trips for my off-hour adventures and it is a fantastic app. I like that the information comes from others who have had the experiences themselves. Another place that frustrates me is the airports due to the costs and the long delays we have seen since 9-11, which I totally understand, but it makes it hard. I hate stress and I avoid it at any cost so use a free app call Dish Remote Access to free my mind. I take trips through movies and love every minute of it as I am passionate about movies. At home my sling adapter is hooked up to my Dish DVR and internet, which is how I can live stream all my programming and recordings to my iPad (it works on most mobiles) and escape into another world to forget about my surroundings for awhile. I am definitely on board for bringing down data roaming charges I'll even start the campaign. Traveler's Muse Feb 14th 2012 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

Checkout artist, Austin "Wes" Tyler's motivating version of the Marine's Hymn: www.broadjam.com/austintyler
Click PLAY "Marine's Hymn" to hear the song.
Austin is giving 100% of proceeds of the sale of the song to the Semper Fi Fund!
This song is ready for purchase on MySpace Music, Apple iTunes, Emusic, GreatIndieMusic, Amazon MP3, Zune, Tradebit, Nokia, Rhapsody, Napster, MediaNet, Last.fm.
A Note from Austin:
"After spending 13 years as a Marine, I wanted to give back to the Corps in some way. I will always love the Marine Corps, the people, and what it stands for. I originally came up with this version of the song with a band I was with 6 years ago. It was such a big hit whenever we played it, Marines in the audience loved it and others that had never heard the Marine's Hymn before thought it was very catchy. My wife said to me one day, "You know the Marine's Hymn you used to play years ago? You should record it because there's a lot of people out there that will love it!" We chose to donate to the Semper Fi Fund simply because it just all seems to fit together. First of all, it would be really cool to use my musical abilities to help our Marine's and their families who are suffering from the effects of combat. Secondly, it's a song written by Marines, for Marines! I just wanted to keep the tradition going. I realize the musical genre this song won't appeal to everyone, but I wanted to create an upbeat remake to inspire and motivate Marines past and present. Please enjoy — because this one's for the Corps!"

A great ski rack for a lot of gear!

Comments about Thule Universal Pull Top 6 Snow Rack w/ Locks:
I wanted to buy the very best ski roof rack that I could find. The only other rack that I was considering was the Yakima Fat Cat 6. When I found the Thule at a great price at Evo... well, that made up my mind. And, I have not been disappointed. The Thule 92726 ski rack was very easy to install on my Yakima round style roof rack. The strap down mounting system allow an installation time under 10 minutes. The one negative involved the shape of my Yakima rack. No matter how hard I turned the tightening knob on the Thule, I could not prevent the Thule from spinning slightly around the Yakima's round roof bar (especially at highway speeds). But once the rack is full of skis and snowboards, it does not move that much. I can comfortably carry 2 snowboards and 3 sets of skis in the Thule. The sliding feature was nice to have, but it was a bit more tedious to use in real life. When fully loaded, the rack was heavy and did not slide very easily, but not too bad. I drove over 600 miles on it's maiden trip and everything went smooth... no problems at all.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The University of Leicester is to host a supercomputer capable of analysing space in unprecedented detail, helping scientists to address some of the most challenging questions in physics and astronomy.
The University of Leicester is one of four sites that will host national high-performance computing (HPC) facilities for theoretical astrophysics and particle physics research.
Funding for the new facility is being provided by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills e-infrastructure budget. The University of Leicester was selected on the strength of its astronomy department and the proximity of the National Space Centre, which is also in Leicester.
The facility will be managed by the university's IT services department, along with the Department of Physics & Astronomy. The university is further supporting the project by investing in a major upgrade of its datacentre to host the new facility. HP will supply the new computer system, which will be used to run state-of-the-art simulations.
The system will help astronomers and physicists to answer such questions as what is dark matter? How do stars form? And why do galaxies always have black holes at their centres?
"We will now be able to carry out the largest and most detailed simulations of planets, stars and galaxies that have ever been performed and answer questions that we could not even have asked just a few years ago," said Dr Mark Wilkinson, principal scientist for the project and a member of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at the University of Leicester.
Once operational, the machine will be part of the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) DiRAC facility. The DiRAC consortium, of which the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at the University of Leicester is a founder member, provides high-performance computing facilities for top UK research institutes in particle physics and astronomy.
"The unique feature of DiRAC is that researchers have access to four national facilities, each of which use different computing architectures designed to attack specific science problems," said Wilkinson.
The new facility will be commissioned over the summer.

|Teaser: SSAS Cache Warming with PowerShell
|Written by Darren Gosbell
|Sunday, 16 November 2008 14:49
You may be thinking oh-no, not another one. Allan Mitchell recently posted an example of an SSIS package that would warm the SSAS cache which is an updated version with a slightly simpler SSIS data flow from something Chris Webb originally blogged. Being a PowerShell fan as I read Allan's post I realised that most of the tasks mapped to native PowerShell cmdlets and I already had PowerShell code to execute an MDX command, so all I was missing was someway of reading in the trace data.
What I ended up with was the following 3 line script which uses 2 native and 2 custom cmdlets to do the same thing as Allan's SSIS package.Read more...

Taiwan news reports carbon monoxide leak killed Mormon missionaries
Two Mormon missionaries, including Connor Thredgold of Utah, died of carbon monoxide poisoning in their Taipei apartment, according to two Taiwan news agencies.
"Prosecutors found a faulty indoor gas water heater, which they determined to be the cause of the fatal carbon monoxide leak," The Taipei Times reports. The Taiwan News reported the same. No foul play is suspected, according to both news agencies, as well as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Thredgold and 24-year-old Yu Peng Xiong, who had been serving as a missionary since March 2013, were found dead Saturday. Thredgold, of Springville, had been in the country for about three months, his family said.
A Wells Fargo Bank account, under the name Connor Thredgold Memorial Fund, will be set up by the end of the day Monday for the Thredgolds, said family spokesperson Tom McHoes.

The Labours of Herakles (Hercules) - Part 2, beyond the Greek world
For background and a brief description of the first six of the Twelve Labours of Herakles, see 'Part 1, in the Peloponnese'.
The second six labours of Herakles began on the island of Crete where he tackled the ferocious Cretan bull. The hero later released the bull, which was eventually killed by Theseus at Marathon. Herakles then brought the man-eating horses of Diomedes back to Greece from Thrace, having first fed them their brutal master. A fierce battle against the Amazons was fought before Herakles captured their queen's girdle for Eurystheus.
The last three labours were set even further afield. In the far west, on the edge of the ocean, Herakles fought the triple-bodied warrior Geryon and stole his cattle. In Hades he captured Cerberus, the dog who guarded the entrance to the Underworld, though he returned the creature after showing him to Eurystheus. Finally, Herakles journeyed to a garden at the end of the earth to take the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. These, the source of the gods' eternal youth, had been a wedding present from Gaia, the Earth, to Zeus and Hera. The apples symbolized immortality, and this final labour meant that eventually Herakles would ascend to Olympos and take his place among the gods.

Just trying out some Flash video. I'm making an all purpose flv player that can change size, I just have to find a way to control those z-indices. I made some extra attractor flv's while I was at it. I used to use Quicktime but since their latest annoying itunes won't install on my pc I decided to switch to Flash video (which is a great alternative).
– update –
It's two years later and I've changed almost everything on this site. My old player was not working anymore. I've implemented the JW Mediaplayer here since the movies are quite nice.
