AT&T Labs makes haptic feedback steering wheel for real cars
updated 09:30 pm EDT, Sat March 24, 2012
ATT brings gaming wheel idea to car GPS
AT&T Labs has been conducting experiments that would bring the haptic (vibration) feedback of steering wheels for video games to the real-world in a practical sense. The new method (not yet pictured) would communicate GPS driving directions through vibrating the wheel in patterns, such as clockwise or counterclockwise, to indicate when the driver should turn. A group of 20 individual motors ring the wheel, making it more advanced than the limited points of a wheel for a PS3 or Xbox 360 gamer.
Along with keeping the driver from having to watch a screen or listen to a voice, the method was found to have improved overall attentiveness: younger drivers in and around their mid-twenties saw distraction drop 3.1 percent. Other studies have alternately shown more attention in retirement-age drivers.
Interface group researcher Kevin Li has warned that it might take years for the technology to be in shipping cars. AT&T Labs was discussing the haptic technique with car designers, however, and expects it to be a reality. The primary challenges are issues such as different hand positions and making the signals sufficiently clear. Safety-focused brands like Volvo and Mercedes-Benz weren't named, but would be logical early adopters. [via MIT Technology Review and The Verge]

Today the sea level is lower than during the Pennsylvanian and Permian periods and land in the area has been uplifted, or raised, by changes in the Earth. Lower sea levels and higher land caused the seas to retreat. The rocks formed from sediment deposited by the seas were then buried several thousand feet. Uplift and erosion have now exposed these rocks and formed hills, called cuestas.
Cuestas have a steep slope on one side (an escarpment) and gentler slopes on the other sides. Cuesta is the Spanish word for cliff.
Figure 32. These cuestas are near Pomona. The arrow points to a steep slope called an escarpment.
The Osage Cuestas are composed of several alternating layers of sandstone, limestone, and shale. Not all of the hills in the Osage Cuesta region are cuestas with escarpments. Rolling hills and flat areas also can be found. Like all regions in the state, the cuesta region has variety.
Figure 33. Orso Falls in Chautauqua County is created where the Caney River runs over a limestone ledge.
Figure 34. Boulders, carried into northeast Kansas by glaciers, were deposited on a hill near Wamego.
The glaciers also left behind a layer of sediment. Finely ground silt, called loess, was sorted and carried by the wind. Thick layers of loess were deposited throughout the area. Fertile soils formed from loess are good for farming because they contain few rocks.

I keep seeing people say this, but I don't think any of us will ever know. To say that the patents turned out to be worthless assumes that for a patent portfolio to be worth anything that the company must aggressively sue other companies for every dime they can. Google doesn't have a history of aggressively using their patents so money made from the portfolio from that path has been low. However, many of Google's competitors do have quite the extensive history of aggressively using patents. Had one of those aggressive competitors gotten ahold of Motorola's patent portfolio I think we all know Google would be one of the many targets with the newly purchased ammunition. Would the lawsuits have cost Google more then the purchase price of the patent portfolio? Nobody will ever know.
Had any of Google competitors gotten hold of MM patents and try to do what Google did with using SEP patents as a means of extortion, they would have had the same result as Google / MM .............. found guilty, in multiple courts, of abusing SEP patents and antitrust violation. So we do know that lawsuits against Google would not come close to the $12.5 Billion they paid for MM had their competitors gotten hold of MM patent portfolio. (Of course we have to assume that Google is willing to license out the patents,when given a FRAND offer, in the first place. It's a big assumption.)
But lets be realistic here. Google bought MM (and their patents) to prevent MM from going after other Android phone makers because they were more profitable (and by more profitable, I mean they were not losing $500 million a quarter) all the while using MM patents in their phones. Google saw this as the real threat to Android. So buying MM wasn't worthless in this regard. But you can't say that about MM patent portfolio when it comes to a means of warding off competitors from suing Google for non-SEP patents infringement.
What would be interesting is if Apple would purchase QNX RTOS or if Blackberry would open source QNX RTOS before it went down.
Stakeholders also include bond holders and employees.
Good luck with that John. You did a fantastic job with Sybase, but the RDBMS software market is 99.999% enterprise-oriented, and after 13 years of innovation and growth at Sybase, the end result was SAP acquiring the company. For just $5.8 billion.
BlackBerry just might be a much harder company to turn around. They're being hit from all angles by Apple, Google, Samsung, and Microsoft. Might be too late to save this one. But whatever. We want you to make it work, John. Somehow. Anyhow.

The government does not object to outside buyouts; it didn't interfere with Apple's purchase of NorTel's patent package. In tghis case, the government was not happy with a Chinese buyout.

As the debate continues locally and nationally on what can be done to reduce gun violence in the United States, it is important to accept incontrovertible facts as a starting point. Unfortunately, Rod Kerr's letter in last Friday's Mountain Democrat republished a false story that the shooter at the Sandy Hook school mass murder did not use a Bushmaster .223 caliber semi-automatic rifle to kill 20 children and five teachers. The Bushmaster knock-off of a military assault rifle was in fact used for this mass murder, but those opposed to an assault weapons ban have consistently attempted to falsify this for their own purposes.
What apparently happened is that a news reporter saw a long weapon being removed from the killer's vehicle after the killing and mistakenly assumed it was a rifle. In fact, it was a shotgun. The Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle and two pistols were found within the school. The semi-automatic rifle with its 30-round magazine was used for the murders and one of the pistols for the killer's suicide. If anyone doubts this, I suggest a visit to the Connecticut Police Website where Lieutenant Paul Vance has repeatedly laid out the facts in an effort to silence "the conspiracy theorists that are trying to muck-up the waters." The "propaganda" here is by Mr. Kerr and others who oppose measures intended to prevent tragedies such as this, not Janet Robinson, the school superintendent who told the truth that some apparently don't want to hear.

Pastor Undaunted by Duodenal Cancer
Network - Fall 2011
A Baptist minister, Jonathan Cobb preaches the message of hope and renewal that a cancer diagnosis can bring.
When diagnosed with duodenal cancer in March 2006, Cobb knew the difficulty that lay ahead because his mother-in-law had learned two months earlier that she had the same condition. She died from the cancer eight months later.
"The hardest day of my life was walking into the house and telling my wife, 'You're not going to believe this,'" he recalls.
Cobb began to suspect his health was in jeopardy while researching his mother-in-law's disease. He had attributed his weight loss, fatigue and depression to a busy workload and long commute to his former church in Delray Beach, Fla. As he continued to learn about the cancer, his intuition told him to look into updating his life insurance policy.
When his blood work revealed anemia and elevated liver enzymes, he was denied life insurance. So he consulted his primary physician for additional testing.
Three days later, he was officiating at a funeral when he received a call from his doctor urging him to seek immediate medical attention.
"I was reading the 23rd Psalm at a gravesite when I got the call from my doctor's office to come quickly," he says.
Diagnosis, treatment reveal new calling
A deep endoscopy revealed a tumor in Cobb's duodenum, the first section of the small intestine. He went to MD Anderson and, in April 2006, underwent the Whipple procedure, which removed parts of his pancreas and stomach. It took him nearly a year to recover. He subsequently had six weeks of chemotherapy and 28 radiation treatments.
Cobb, who is writing an autobiography, spends much of his time delivering motivational speeches for the American Cancer Society and to church groups, schools and hospitals across the country.
"Cancer gave me a bigger platform to do the things that were already in me, and those things were greater than the cancer by far," he says.
"The first three letters in 'cancer' are 'can.'"

Jerry Angelo's 11th Best Non-Draft Acquisition
Adam Podlesh-Punter-Free Agent 2011:Chicago's previous punter Brad Maynard had a successful ten-year run with the Bears after he was signed away from the New York Giants prior to the 2001 season. Maynard provided precision pinning of opponents inside their 20 yard line, if not big leg strength. But as of 2011 it was clear the next player at the position needed to be identified. Podlesh was a young player that was successful in Jacksonville, and Angelo targeted and acquired the player when needed. It may be surprising to some to see a punter listed anywhere in a top acquisitions list, but all the reader must do is recall the tenure of second-round draft pick Todd Sauerbrun in 1995 to remember that punters do matter. Sauerbrun possessed a booming leg, possibly the greatest for a punter in the NFL since the legendary Ray Guy. But during his rookie season, several Sauerbrun shanks actually contributed to losses in a season in which one more victory would have earned the Bears a playoff berth. So at least at this position, Angelo left the Bears in good hands for years to come.

December 1, 2015
The city of Delta celebrates its rich heritage during the weekend long Deltarado Days. Among the many activities for visitors to see and do is an antique tractor pull.
It looks easy, but it actually takes skill to pull a large weight the furthest distance on the back of a tractor. Water is used as a weight, and it moves up on the trailer- which makes it harder for the tractor to pull.
All of the tractors are antiques, some of them date back as far as the 1930s. And for many, part of the fun, is working on the old tractors. Tractor pulling is not just a Colorado thing. It is a hobby that comes from the western frontier.
This was the third year the Deltarado Days had an antique tractor pull.

What is it?Severe, acute rhabdomyolysis can be a rare complication of an upper respiratory tract infection caused by Streptococcus equi.
How does S.equi cause rhabdomyolysis?The exact mechanism associating rhabdomyolysis and S. equi is not known but there are two current methods of thought. The first is that the myositis is caused by a syndrome similar to streptococcal toxic shock syndrome in humans which is when release of inflammatory cytokines combines with the effect of hypotension and hypoperfusion resulting in shock. The second proposed mechanism is that the upper respiratory tract infection with S.equi disseminates into the blood which then enters the muscles. As the bacteria multiply and produce exotoxins and proteases, skeletal muscle is damaged.
How common is this disease?Rhabdomyolysis as a complication of a Streptococcus equi infection is rare.
What are the clinical signs?Firm, swollen and painful epaxial and gluteal muscles, stiff gait, reluctance to move, and hind limb ataxia are most commonly seen. Tachycardia, tachypnea, fever, and nasal discharge may be present and are due to the concurrent streptococcal infection.
Are there any groups of horses that are more susceptible?No breed, age, or sex predilection is noted at this time.
How is this diagnosed?
Routine diagnostic resultsComplete blood countIncreased white blood cells with a marked increase in neutrophilsMildly elevated fibrinogen
Blood chemistryCreatinine kinase values of over 50,000 U/LMildly increased BUN and phosphorusMildly decreased albumin, sodium, and chloride
Additional diagnosticsMuscle biopsy of the semimembranosus or semitendinosus muscle is ideal. Findings consistent characteristic of rhabdomyolysis include swelling of the muscle cells, vacuolization, homogenization of sarcoplasm, and necrosis with macrophage infiltration.
Diagnosis of S. equi should be confirmed by either culture, PCR, or immunofluorescence.
What are other diseases that could look similar?Polysaccharide storage myopathyNutritional myodegenerationToxic myopathyNeurological conditions (ex) spinal cord abscess)
What is the treatment?Flushing guttural pouches if infected, penicillin and rifampin and potentially corticosteroids may be indicated.
Does the S.equi vaccine increase or decrease the horse's chance of getting rhabdomyolysis?At this time the S.equi vaccine status of the horse does not appear to increase or decrease the horse's chance of developing rhabdomyolysis.
What is the prognosis?The prognosis for a horse with a S. equi infection complicated by rhabdomyolysis is guarded if horses become recumbant.
What is IMM?Immune mediated myositis (IMM) is a disorder in which the immune system of horses attacks the skeletal muscles causing rapid atrophy of the muscles along the topline.
What causes IMM?This immune mediated disease is probably caused by a loss of self tolerance by the immune system to the antigens present on the horse's own muscle cells. This means that the immune system fails to recognize muscle cells as a part of the body and begins to see them as foreign. Certain infectious agents or possibly vaccines are thought to "trigger" this reaction. The most common disease believed to trigger IMM in the horse is Streptococcus infections. However, in only 40% of IMM cases is an infectious process ever identified.
How common is IMM?Immune mediated myositis is rare in horses but it is the most common cause of rapid atrophy of the topline in Quarter and Paint horses.
What are the clinical signs?Rapid loss of muscle mass, usually symmetric, is seen in the back (epaxial) and rump (gluteal) muscles. The atrophy along the horse's topline typically becomes apparent within one to 3 days. Depression, loss of appetite and stiffness are also seen. If advanced, horses can have difficulty standing.
Are there any groups of horses that are more susceptible to IMM?Quarter Horses and Paints are the primary breeds affected by IMM, however, Thoroughbreds, ponies, and Icelandic Horses have also been diagnosed with IMM. Horses under the age of 8 years old or over the age of 17 years old are more likely to develop the disease.
How is it diagnosed?
HistoryHorses with a recent history of respiratory disease or that have had recent exposure to horses with respiratory disease are at higher risk for developing IMM.
Routine diagnostic resultsBlood chemistry results will typically show a chronic increase in serum creatine kinase (CK) and aspartate transaminase (AST) of up to 10,000 U/L.
Additional diagnosticsA definitive diagnosis requires muscle biopsies of the gluteal or epaxial muscles, semimembranosus muscle is often normal. Extensive lymphocyte infiltration and mononuclear vasculitis with regenerative and atrophied myofibers are characteristic features of IMM. We recommend submitting several muscle samples; 1) biopsies of atrophied rump/back muscles (can be in formalin using a large gauge trucut) and fresh semimembransus to rule out other diseases.
What are other diseases that look similar to IMM?Equine Motor Neuron DiseaseMalabsorption/cachetic conditionsCushings disease in older horsesHomozygous for type 1 PSSMNeurogenic muscle atrophy (trauma)
How is it treated?IMM is remarkably responsive to corticosteroids. Typical therapy consists of dexamethasone (0.05 mg/kg) for 3 days, followed by prednisolone (1 mg/kg for 7 to 10 days) tapered by 100 mg/week over 1 month. We recommend a CBC be performed and antibiotic therapy is recommended if a leukocytosis, hyperfibrinogenemia or lymphadenopathy is present.
Are there any management strategies that can help a horse with IMM?Horses recovering from muscle atrophy should be fed a concentrate in addition to hay that is balanced for vitamins and minerals and has high quality protein. (alfalfa hay may help here). If IMM has occurred within a month of vaccination, we recommend spreading out necessary vaccines with at least 6 weeks in between to see if one of these triggers a reaction. S equi vaccines are not generally recommended for horses that have had IMM.
What is the prognosis for a horse with IMM?IMM usually resolves without long term consequences. Improvement in appetite should occur within 48 hours of steroid therapy, muscle atrophy should stop and then within 2-3 months muscle mass should return. In some cases there may be areas in a muscle that have a permanent divot. Without corticosteroid treatment, atrophy will eventually resolve and return of muscle mass may take a longer period of time. Some horses may show signs of recrudescence of the syndrome particularly within in a year or two of initial presentation. Call your veterinarian to begin steroid therapy as soon as you notice muscle atrophy.

Coachella 2012Music // Friday, May 11, 2012
So we went to Coachella and forgot to post our photos like we were supposed to. Well, sue us. Without further ado... The Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival raged for two straight weekends this year in the California desert, taking on a different format but no less fantastic to experience. Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine made it to what was the GD outdoor sweat lodge of Weekend 2 amid blazing heats—the typical temps that bounced back from quite the opposite over Weekend 1.
Juxtapoz at Coachella 2011Juxtapoz // Friday, April 22, 2011
A weekend away to the desert mid-April for music, lil sun in the skin, art installs, and VIPs of all kinds geared me up for the 2011 spring and summer music season. This particular inaugural event being Coachella. Note: Indian garb and hippy chic top the list of 2011 music fest looks du jour. Also, apparently, sea captains, which, in the middle of the desert ... got me. Photos after the jump . . .
Shepard Fairey x Z-Trip in ConversationStreet Art // Sunday, January 30, 2011
A lot of people are bummed that Coachella sold out and they can't see Kanye, Lauryn Hill, and Kings of Leon (er, maybe not) at this year's festival. But Coachella is pushing their Coachella Conversations, and we enjoyed hearing the conversing of 2x Coachella artist DJ Z-Trip (friend of Juxtapoz and DJ of our Seventh Letter Issue release party) and Shepard Fairey. Interview after the jump . . .
David Choe x Die Antwoord do CoachellaJuxtapoz // Monday, April 19, 2010
David Choe (Juxtapoz cover #112) shared some great new images while chillin' with Die Antwoord at Coachella. Darth Vader-esque masks, gold spandex, and golf carts should be part of any good backstage Coachella experience. Read More...

Teaser Trailer: The Company Men
Posted on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
A teaser trailer/musical montage/sizzle reel for John Wells' The Company Men has been discovered on vimeo (via this article on AICN). The film, which will screen at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival as part of the Premieres category, tells the story of three men trying to survive a round of corporate downsizing at a major company, and how that affects them, their families and communities over the course of one year.
The film stars Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Costner, Chris Cooper, Maria Bello, Craig T Nelson, and Rosemarie DeWitt. This is the feature directorial debut of Wells, who is best known for writing and producing hundreds of episodes of both ER and The West Wing. A lot of people are interested to see what he will be able to do with a feature film. It's also worth mentioning that eight-time Academy Award nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins shot the film. Watch the teaser trailer, embedded after the jump.

Auto Loans After Bankruptcy
Re-establish your credit with after an auto financing bankruptcy. We specialize in bankruptcy car loans and bankruptcy auto loans We have all gone through tough times financially. Auto credit is a great way to rebuild your credit file after your bankruptcy has been discharged. We have many lending options and programs available after bankruptcy.
The three most common types of bankruptcy are:
Chapter 7: Also known as liquidation, allows individuals or businesses to give up nonexempt assets and walk away from most debts.
Chapter 11: For individuals and, more commonly, businesses to reorganize debt.
Chapter 13: Allows the filer to draft a plan to repay some debt while retaining assets.
What happens to my credit rating?
Most people regain credit within two years after they complete their bankruptcy car loan case by demonstrating good payment habits following their bankruptcy. By making these payments on time each month, good credit is being reported on their behalf. So, with most of their old debt discharged and nothing but on time payments being reported for the past two years, many ex-bankruptcy debtors find themselves having good credit again. You want to be sure to make your payments on time to recover from bankruptcy auto loan. Also, it's extremely important to keep your re-established bad credit car loans current. Most banks have a dim view of consumers filling for bankruptcy and going delinquent afterwards. Make sure you can make the payments before entering into another car loan. As with most sub prime car finance, which a loan after a bankruptcy falls under, money down helps considerably by limiting the banks liability.

Rumor: Apple MacBook Pro with 2880x1800 display for 2012
updated 06:00 am EST, Wed December 14, 2011
Super hi-res MacBook Pro due in 2012?
Digitimes is reporting that Apple's expected refresh, and possibly redesign, of its MacBook Pro line in 2012 will feature display resolutions up to 2880x1800 pixels. Currently, the highest resolution on the 15-inch MacBook Pro line is 1680x1050 pixels, while the 17-inch model tops out at 1920x1200 pixels. Apple is known to have incorporated HiDPI capabilities into Mac OS X Lion code in a strong sign that Apple plans to shift to much higher resolution displays beyond the iPhone 4 and 4S Retina Display and the rumored 2048x1536 display headed for the iPad 3.
According to Digitimes sources, the move has set off a new round of competition in the upstream supply chain as manufacturers look to demonstrate that they can produce such displays with sufficient yields. While it is not clear which model the display is headed for, a true HiDPI display would have to be capable of mimicking the fourfold increase in resolution equivalent to scaling an app for the iPhone to the iPad.
Assuming that the hurdle of cost has been overcome, a 13-inch MacBook Pro would need a display capable of supporting at least 2560x1600 pixels in order to avoid pitfalls for app developers in developing apps that can scale properly. The rumored resolution exceeds the minimum requirements to achieve a HiDPI display on the 13-inch model. Other technical issues that need to be overcome include slow response times, high performance GPUs and a large amount of RAM to properly handle image frame buffers.

Schinus molle
The California Pepper tree is best known for its broad, weeping branches, fragrant leaves, and pink colored peppercorns. Used as a specimen tree or for screening, the California Pepper has many landscape design uses making it a favorite to both homeowners and landscape designers. The unique twisting appearance of the trunks mixed with the orange-brown bark color give a sharp contrast to the bright-green foliage making the California Pepper stand out from other specimens.
Being an evergreen, the California Pepper is remarkably drought tolerant and stable once its roots have been established. The California pepper will fit into both desert and sub-tropical landscapes or serve as a transition tree between desert to tropical landscapes.
Keep all of your trees healthy with regular applications of Moon Dust fertilizer and Supercharged Moon Juice for maximum performance.

Dylan at 70: I Told Bob Dylan He was Dead
In the summer of 1969 I told Bob Dylan he was dead. He hadn't heard the news at the time but he didn't appear to be too bothered. Perhaps, like the rest of us who had made it through the Sixties, Bob had become inured to rock deaths - including his own. Since Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper had died in that plane crash in February 1959 a whole gang of rockers had joined the great tour bus in the sky - Eddie Cochran, Otis Redding, the Bar-Kays, Brian Jones, Johnny Kidd, Sam Cooke, Bobby Fuller, Johnny Burnette, Joe Meek, Frankie Lymon and countless others. There was one major difference however. They really were dead and Bob Dylan wasn't but it didn't matter. The story going round in the summer of '69 said he was and the rumour carried just enough fact to make it seem plausible.

The Turning of the Tide - Richmond Lock
When Richmond Lock and Weir and its footbridge were opened in 1894 by the Duke and Duchess of York there were cheers and celebrations in St Margarets. Now they had a short cut to Richmond on their doorstep. (_Twickenham Bridge would not be built for another 39 years._)
There were celebrations in Isleworth as well. They were cheering because they didn't have a short cut to Richmond on their doorstep.

Instead they have submitted a new single bid (11/1443) for a 115-unit development plus podium, which was published on May 11, 2011. The usually-mandatory affordable housing has been cut out allowing a 1-floor height reduction.
The piling work for the podium is scheduled for October (there are no rugby internationals this autumn) so Solum are looking for a quick go-ahead for this scheme, either from the Council or from an Inspector on appeal. So if you wish to comment or object you should do so quickly.

Cod Liver Oil, London Zoo and Tigger
Why is it that when people talk about the Welfare State - or 'state welfare' as I prefer to call it - they always mention the major provisions of this wonderful institution like education, health care, pensions and so on but rarely touch upon the little things that older people remember so well? Where is Double Concentrated Orange Juice in the conversation? Why leave out Extract of Malt? What is it about Cod Liver Oil that leaves a nasty taste in the mouth?
For centuries Cod Liver Oil had been used across Northern Europe for lighting and tanning leather. Some people actually used to eat it. In Iceland, for example, poor people enjoyed a mutton tallow and fish liver oil concoction called 'broedingur' which was highly valued for its health-giving properties…

Dealing with questions of loyalty and betrayal, homeland and exile, friendship and family, in a way which is both funny and touching, The Old Country, written in 1977 is of several forays that Alan Bennett made into the realm of spying. It deals with the mythical case if Hilary, a British spy exiled to the Soviet Union, having betrayed king, country and class. When his sister and newly-knighted brother-in-law come to visit him and his long suffering wife Bron, they are all forced to re-examine their priorities and allegiances, and face up to their different pasts.

Poison Gas Week
Early in May 1942, the third year of the war, people of Richmond were rather surprised when this leaflet from the mayor, E. A Collings, dropped through their letter box.
Dear Sir or Madam,
During the period June 15th - June 20th it will be necessary upon one or two occasions to liberate in the streets of the Borough a form of War-gas….
…it will cause extremely unpleasant symptoms if breathed without the protection of a respirator; and, since no warning will be given of the "surprise attack", you will therefore required to have your gas-mask constantly with you.

Fatal robbery suspect ID'd
Police: 20-year-old, worker exchanged fire
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Juan Luis Martinez was the man shot and killed during an attempted robbery Wednesday, San Angelo police said.
Fingerprint analysis conducted at the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office positively identified the 20-year-old San Angelo man Thursday afternoon.
Police waited for a positive identification before they notified the family. Martinez's sister and parents declined to comment Thursday afternoon when contacted by telephone.
Martinez entered Cano's Diamonds, 2705 Sherwood Way, about 1 p.m. Wednesday with a handgun in an attempt to rob the store, police said Thursday. He and store personnel exchanged gunfire, and Martinez was killed.
San Angelo Police Department Lt. Tracy Fincher said it was unclear who fired the first shot. The sequence of events is still under investigation. He declined to release the names of the employees.
Fincher said detectives are looking into whether there was an accomplice involved or whether Martinez had a vehicle.
It is unclear what was said between the two parties, but police said they think money or items were demanded.
"I believe it was a verbal demand," Fincher said. "We didn't recover a note."
According to the police records division, no building break-ins or robberies were reported during the past 10 years at 2705 Sherwood.
Officers spent hours collecting evidence from the store, a large open area with at least one small office in the back.
"It took time," Fincher said. "We wanted to make sure the scene was thoroughly investigated."
Pending the medical examiner's report, officers could not say for sure how many times Martinez was shot.
No one had been charged in the shooting as of Thursday evening.
Once the investigation is complete, officers will share their findings with the Tom Green County District Attorney's Office. Martinez's death is a homicide, but because of its nature, D.A.'s office officials will review the facts, then decide whether the case goes before a grand jury.
Officers said nothing indicates Martinez was the unidentified man they say robbed a jewelry store earlier this month.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Members of motorcycle clubs and gangs will have to keep their colors under wrap at the 19th annual Street Vibrations biker festival running through the weekend in Reno and Sparks.
Local organizers and casino owners have banned the colors in the aftermath of a deadly casino shootout between the Hells Angels and the rival Vagos gang during the festival two years ago.
Organizers acknowledge the policy could affect turnout for the festival that typically attracts 30,000 visitors and pumps an estimated $56 million into the local economy.
But Street Vibrations manager Randy Burke tells the Reno Gazette-Journal (http://tinyurl.com/ny7b8br) most people seem to accept the dress code as a way to help make people feel safer at a variety of events running through Sunday.

MathExcel: Calculus Among Friends
- by Mike Freeman
A General Description
MathExcel is a one-year program beginning in the fall of each academic year. The MathExcel students attend the same three Calculus I lectures each week, but they supplant the two recitations with what we call "Calculus Workshop," special MathExcel workshops that meet three times a week for two hours each.
The Workshops are organized around cooperative study, and their activities are more stimulating and somewhat more challenging than regular homework or test problems. Outside the Workshops, the MathExcel students do the same regular homework as the non-MathExcel students in the class.
Thus MathExcel requires three more hours of class per week. Calculus Workshop awards two units of Pass/Fail credit, which means that MathExcel students earn four units of normally graded credit received by every Calculus I/II student, plus two units of Pass/Fail credit.
Tell me more about this:

Of course from there, bulletin boards (now known as forums) rose to recognition, followed by chat rooms, instant messengers and then the now highly-praised free video chat room systems. But, these systems are not perfect, and you will find issues they do not do however, or issues they do but truly should not.
Online webcam chat is a young technologies. This means that it hasn't really had an opportunity to completely figure itself out. This really is a common issue young technologies have, when initial introduced to public use. Certainly one of the issues though, is the fact that because it stands, some people are afraid video chatting. This really is a natural human response, especially to something like recording technology. Individuals might be reluctant to have their homes or their own individual image recorded for the world to see. This is most likely one of the aspects from the technology that stands to acquire probably the most from continued development and innovation. There might be a number of methods that individuals could make use of this technologies and make avail of clever features that make sure much more privacy than the method can presently offer.
Following along these lines, an additional thing that webcam chat systems do not quite do yet is to use it to track facial expressions, movements and also the like to control an avatar. This technologies, called motion capture technology, is heavily utilized in animating CGI effects. It is also turn out to be part of a few of the more gimmicky gaming ideas of late. Maybe this might be an additional breakthrough in webcam chat that could come to fruition inside a couple of years.
Touching on privacy in another light, some websites are currently covering certainly one of the other base problems. Especially within the situation of random webcam chat sites, there is always been an issue of individuals behaving in rather unpleasantly naughty ways. This has made use of this video chat technology downright unsafe for underage customers or individuals who are sensitive to seeing particular parts from the anatomy.
Consequently, free cams chat site designers are starting to enforce a needed account and profile to use the sites. While the profile information is confidential, whistle-blowing buttons on the chat interfaces could allow people to report to administration any misbehavior that violates the code of conduct for a website. With this in place, maybe random chat services for younger or much more impressionable customers could become more widely-spread eventually.

Nursing education and beliefs towards tobacco cessation and control: a cross- sectional national survey (GHPSS) among nursing students in Greece
1 University Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, Greece
2 Department of Social Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Crete, Greece
3 Center for Global Tobacco Control, Department of Society, Human Development and Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston MA, USA
4 Smoking and Lung Cancer Research Center, Hellenic Anticancer Society, Athens, Greece
5 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office on Smoking and Health, Global Tobacco Control Program, Atlanta, GA, USA
6 National School of Public Health, Athens, Greece
7 School of Medicine, University of Athens, Greece
Tobacco Induced Diseases 2011, 9:4 doi:10.1186/1617-9625-9-4Published: 6 May 2011
Within the healthcare system, nurses have the ability to influence their patients' smoking habits through counselling. Therefore, it is of great importance to appropriately train health professionals on smoking cessation strategies with the aim to help them provide advice to their patients. In light of the above, the objective of this study was to assess the association between Greek nursing students' beliefs towards tobacco control/smoking cessation and the professional training received.
During February 2009, we conducted a cross sectional national survey among all 3rd year nursing students of the two university based nursing departments in Greece (University of Athens, University of the Peloponnese). The Global Health Professional Student Survey (GHPSS) questionnaire was applied and following written informed consent 73% provided a completed questionnaire (n = 192/263 enrolled students).
Overall, 33% were current active smokers, while 74% reported ever to experiment smoking. In regards to their beliefs towards tobacco control policies, non smokers were more positive in regards to banning smoking in restaurants (94% vs. 61%, p < 0.001), in bars and cafes (82% vs. 34%, p < 0.001), and all public places (93% vs. 51%, p < 0.001) when compared to current smokers. In comparison with students who had not received training on the importance of asking patients about their smoking habits, those that did were more likely to believe that nurses should have a role in smoking cessation and should act as role models for their patients.
Resources should be invested in improving the quality of undergraduate education in nursing departments in Greece with respect to tobacco control and smoking cessation.

|Validation of self-report and hospital pill count using unannounced home pill count as methods for determination of adherence to antiretroviral therapy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18846785 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) is very crucial for successful treatment outcomes. This study aimed to validate patient-self report (PSR) and hospital based pill count (HoPC) as adherence determination methods by using unannounced home visit pill count (HPC). The study was carried out at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and 215 patients purposively selected were recruited. On refill day, the remaining pills were counted. They were also asked to report on the number of doses they missed during the past 28 days. They were later visited in their homes without appointment where the remaining pills were counted. Ninety-eight percent and 93% reported to adhere to ART by PSR method and HoPC, respectively. However, only 58% of the same study patients were found to be adherent by > or = 95% using HPC. In conclusion, PSR and HoPC do not always give reliable adherence data in patients undergoing ART. Therefore, we recommend application of combination methods for adherence measuring in patients starting to include patient self report and hospital based pill count in new patients and complementing them with unannounced home based pill count in experienced patients. Wherever possible, drug plasma concentration measurements should also be established.

Back Talk: A Conversation with Gilf!Juxtapoz // Thursday, 01 Sep 2011
A newcomer with a political voice, Gilf! first caught our attention with a simple stencil of Betty White with the letters G-I-L-F next to it, making us think somebody had the hots for a golden girl. One example of the new storytelling that is bringing many people to the street, Gilf! wants street art to address bigger issues than self aggrandizement; like repression, freedom of speech, and GLBT rights. It will be interesting to see where the experimenting Gilf! develops the storylines, and how many more with similar intentions come out too. ~ Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo
1. One reason you make art:
I make art to change people's perspectives, and to bring awareness to major issues that face our whole planet. I also do it to make people smile. Street art is an amazing tool that allows me to speak to people with whom I wouldn't get the chance in real life.
2. The last good movie you saw:
I'm a huge fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, although I somehow missed Delicatessen up until recently, which was brilliant, of course. There is a magic to his work - he truly understands how to captivate and entertain with color timing and quixotic characters.
3. Something you've always wanted to do, but have yet to:
Wow, where to begin? How about covering depressed neighborhoods, towns, and cities with large scale beautiful artwork to inspire and uplift the people who need it most?
4. Favorite country or city visited:
Marrakesh was stunning, being out of my element was humbling and refreshing.
5. A few words that sum up your philosophy on life:
Go big or don't bother. Life is too short to do it half-assed.
6. Something you want the world to know about you:
This is a difficult question to answer as a street artist. I try so hard to protect my identity- but at some point with our world's continual evaporation of privacy you'll all know my height, weight, and what brand of tampons I buy.
7. Something that annoys or frustrates you about people:
Their apathy. I will never get over how many people really don't care about how they live their lives and the consequences of their actions.
8. Something that concerns you:
The state of pop music.
9. Artists you admire:
Although her work is entirely different from mine, Swoon was the reason I started making street art. I admire the delicate and ultra feminine feel to her work, especially on the street. There was a piece right by my apartment a few years back and I looked at it every day in awe. Over time the energy that it gave me pushed me to start my own work. I had the chance to meet her the summer before last. She was humble and kind and took the time to talk to me while prepping for a show. I found her spirit to be as beautiful as her work. That to me is admirable above all.
10. Favorite quote(s):
"To not dare is to have already lost. We should seek out ambitious, even unrealistic projects... because things only happen when we dream." - Andrea Putnam
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do." - Ken Segall
11. The first record or CD you ever bought? The last album you downloaded?
MC Hammer, "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em" - it was a tape and I broke it because I listened to it so many times. Amazing.
The last Pandora station I created was Dragonette.
12. Something you do when you're procrastinating?
I don't clean, that's for sure. I wish I was one of those.
13. What is your most defining characteristic?
My indestructible work ethic.
14. What is your greatest fear?
What the world will look like in 50 years.
15. The moment you realized you were an 'artist':
There was never a specific moment; I don't really think like that.
16. Your greatest quality:
My objectiveness; Life is much less dramatic when you stop taking everything personally.
17. Something you wish you could change or alter about yourself:
I want wings, and to be invisible at a moment's notice.
18. What is the biggest risk you've ever taken and was it worth it?
Taking part in the Fountain Art Fair NYC 2011- the best move I've ever made.
19. Something you wish you had known five years ago:
The winning lotto numbers.
20. What do you hope to accomplish in the next five years of your life?:
I look forward to large public art installations, cross discipline collaborations, changing people's perspectives, creating positive change, and enjoying every minute of it... all while staying out of the slammer.
