COOKEVILLE – The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation received indictments and arrested a police chief accused of misconduct.
At the request of 12th District Attorney General J. Michael Taylor, TBI special agents started an investigation involving Jason Erik Redden on Aug. 21. During the investigation, agents developed information Redden, while working as chief of the Graysville Police Department, sold, took for himself or returned to the original owner three of the department's seized vehicles.
The investigation also revealed $4,128 in missing seized money or money paid to the department for towing and storage, for which the chief was responsible. Agents also discovered April 15 video that captured Redden taking tools from a truck held as evidence at the department.
On Monday, a Rhea County grand jury returned indictments for Redden, charging him with seven counts of official misconduct, two counts of theft of more than $1,000, and one count of theft of less than $500. Redden turned himself in Monday afternoon at the Rhea County Jail and was held on $15,000 bond.

Mine was probably making a Text-to-topic MOD for Phpbb 3 which is still under way. I am having a lot of issues.
What was the largest coding project you have ever started with php or other server side scripting languages (I guess javascript counts for the purpose of this discussion too, a well as SQL). Can you also go into specifics about what was involved?
For me it would be my current website which has a custom made guide system. The guides are stored in a database and can be added through a form that only staff can access. I had to learn how to integrate this Site CP with my software, MyBB, by looking at its cooking and allowing content team members and admins to post news posts, manage posted comments on the guides, manage guides, edit guides, and add them.

We are Minneapolis/St. Paul's first dragon boat racing team for breast cancer survivors, providing education, outreach and support
The mission of the Dragon Divas is to demonstrate that a full and active life is possible following the diagnosis of breast cancer. The organization provides an opportunity for members to connect with other breast cancer survivors in a supportive environment to enhance their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
The Dragon Divas are dedicated to promoting the early detection of breast cancer and raising awareness in the community of the importance of physical fitness in fighting this disease. Through our message and action, the Dragon Divas honor the memory of those who have died from the disease and the blessings they have bestowed on our survivorship.
Our Team :
The Dragon Divas are an eclectic group of breast cancer survivors and supporters, ranging in age between mid-30s to late 60s. There are no requirements for being part of the team other than survivorship or an interest in encouraging the spirit of survivors and desire to enjoy the camaraderie of other women while improving physical health. When not paddling, team members are mothers, daughters, grandmothers and sisters; homemakers, scientists, educators, health care providers, businesswomen and retired professionals. We are women supporting women; women involved in our communities and churches; women who gain strength from one another, as individuals and as a team. Our diversity sends out a clear message to women in the Minnesota Twin Cities of hope and optimism emphasizing that anything and everything is possible through a united effort.
Mary Skrypek, a breast cancer survivor and physical therapist with Healtheast Ò Optimum Rehabilitation, learned about Abreast in a Boat, a Vancouver-area dragon boat team for breast cancer survivors and decided to assess interest in the survivor community in the Twin Cities. She enlisted the support of Dr. Sandra Rosenberg, a breast cancer survivor herself and specialist in vascular disease and lymphedema. The two decided Mary should spread the word about the Vancouver team to the breast cancer community and assess interest in forming the first team in the Twin Cities.
Our message is a message of hope, wholeness and healing for women and men with a diagnosis of breast cancer. The vessel we paddle symbolizes our journey to health. We demonstrate how dragon boating enhances healing by:
· Regaining control of our lives following a diagnosis of breast cancer
· Showing family, friends and strangers we are living a full and complete life
· Reminding us to make the most of each moment
· Creating a new state of wellness and well-being
· Demanding the best of each team member, both physically and mentally
· Challenging our limits, rather than limiting our challenges
· Overcoming the loneliness that often accompanies the journey through cancer and recovery
· Creating a safety net in the event of recurrence
· Giving us pride in our accomplishments
· Demonstrating we can undertake strenuous exercise with no ill effects. In fact, in the two years team members have practiced, exercised and competed, no new cases of lymphedema have developed and none have worsened.
· Creating balance in our lives
· Encouraging us to share our experiences with others
Continued participation in festivals creates additional publicity and supports the Dragon Divas' effort to promote awareness and early detection of breast cancer as well as the importance of active lifestyles for patients and survivors. We seek donations for our educational efforts, equipment and festival fees, as well as scholarships for team members who are unable to take on the expense of travel to festivals.
In addition to our dragon boating activities, members establish mentor/befriender relationships with other women and men diagnosed with breast cancer as they journey through their prescribed treatment. For more information, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Accused mass murderer James Holmes took self-portraits using his cellphone less then seven hours before the deadly movie theater shooting, showing himself grinning, sticking his tongue out, wearing black contact lenses and holding a Glock handgun and an assault rifle, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The evidence was introduced on the third and final day of what was to be a five-day preliminary hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to try Holmes on more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder.

#17: Be a slave to fadsPosted: March 29, 2012 Filed under: FULC Leave a comment
Have you ever heard of "Shia Rebuffed?"
The correct answer is yes, even if you haven't heard of it. Because if you're not aware of and actively participating in every relentlessly inane and short-lived trend, then you should at least pretend like you're not a hermitic Luddite who's most recent exposure to contemporary culture was accidentally seeing a bus ad for "Maid in Manhattan."
Following fads is a crucial part of success, because it means you're an early adopter of the lifestyles, values and diets that will eventually define your generation, like planking and organic acai smoothies.
Unfortunately, the fast pace of today's media makes it's very difficult to keep up with fads. The New York Times, chronicler of countless dubious trends, has just this week told us that we must employ nannies for no less than 6 figures, cure our own bacon (it only takes a week!), participate in Seapunk Alien Disco Indie Raves and abandon smartphones in favor of flip phones whose most advanced capability is T9 texting and being heavy enough to serve as a defensive weapon. And if you think all that sounds hard, Forever 21 is now signaling that knees are no longer in style.
Is it tough to keep up with the times? Yes. Is it a time commitment? Absolutely. Kneecap removal is a time consuming process with a long, painful recovery. Is it worth it?
Only if you remind people how trendy you are! Every time you see someone whip out a smartphone, you should aggressively bang your flip phone on the nearest hard surface and say, "you can't outclass a classic!" Then complain about how impatient you are to eat your own homemade bacon, and how no one understands seapunk. Trends only work if you bully other people into thinking they are actually trends.
So what does it mean to be Shia Rebuffed? It's when someone gets rebuffed, and then the rebuffer says "OOOH Shia REBUFFED." There should probably be some snappy hand gesture involved. It's not a thing yet, but it will probably be in The New York Times next week.

|Time to failure of arterial shunts in a pig hemorrhagic shock model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23025937 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Temporary vascular shunts (TVSs) are relied on frequently in the current military theater. Details of their physiology and outcome are of increasing interest and needed to further define their place in the management of trauma. This study was conducted using a porcine hemorrhagic shock model and aimed to 1) establish the time to failure of short, proximally placed vascular shunts; and 2) examine histological changes in the shunted artery. The external iliac artery of male pigs was transected and a straight shunt secured in place. Hemorrhagic shock was then induced by rapidly removing 40 per cent of blood volume and maintaining severe hypotension for 40 minutes before resuscitation. Animals were observed for up to 6 days for limb function as well as overall physiological status. At the conclusion of the experiment, status of the shunt and adjacent artery was evaluated by an independent pathologist. The presence of thrombi and inflammation within the proximal and distal artery was graded. Among the 10 animals tested, nine subjects survived the initial surgery. All shunts remained patent with mean time of 4.2 ±1.2 days of observation. Three-position histological analysis of the connected arterial tissues revealed minimal acute inflammation and minimal or thrombus. The results suggest that TVSs in proximal arteries remain functional for at least 48 to 72 hours in proximal arteries even without anticoagulation in the setting of brief hemorrhagic shock. This knowledge may aid combat evacuation patterns.

Rated Next | China Fox Know What She Want
China Fox is the artist name of producer/performer Candy Mabra. Candy (or China as many call her)currently lives in Boston, Ma where she recently graduated from Berklee College of music with a degree in music production and engineering.
The name 'China Fox' is also synonymous with the collective group that is the backing live band, additional producers, session players, and songwriters that are directly involved with Candy as the face of China Fox.
China Foxís new release ëGirlfriendí is a concept album and that will pickup where 90's and 2000's old school pop/R&B/hip hop party jams left off. Girlfriend will include 6 original tracks that are reminiscent of a time before more modern radio pop music.
The songs tip their hats to artists like Fat Joe, Mariah Carey, Miguel, Notorious B.I.G., Usher, Mario, Ray J, Montell Jordan, Justin Timberlake, etc in a completely fresh and original way. Girlfriend plays on the irony and nostalgia of the era while maintaining a very conscious awareness for musical integrity through the use of sing along hooks paired with honest and witty songwriting. 'Girlfriend' is also stylized as a lifestyle brand, combining throwback music with modern fashion and art with a uniformed clean cut aesthetic.

Finding a Parking Space Could Soon Get Easier
Page 2 of 2
The team also integrated its detection data with reference maps to create a spot-accurate map of parking availability. They faced a major challenge accomplishing this because the location coordinates provided by a GPS receiver are only typically accurate to three meters. With an approximate parking spot length of about seven meters, a vehicle could easily be matched to an incorrect adjacent spot. So they developed another algorithm that uses the ultrasonic sensor readings to detect certain fixed objects, such as trees and street signs. This allowed them to decrease their error rate by more than half.
After proving that the concept worked, Gruteser and his colleagues wanted to see whether such a system could effectively be deployed in a large city by putting sensor systems in vehicles that regularly drive around, such as taxis, police cars, and other government vehicles. The team used a public data set of 536 taxicabs in San Francisco to study the cars' mobility patterns. While the cabs visited some parts of the city too rarely to make any data they collected useful for a real-time parking map, the sampling provided by these same cabs in the downtown area of San Francisco was more than adequate to cover the smaller area.
The engineers estimate that they could cover the downtown San Francisco area using only 300 cabs for roughly $200,000, a cost-saving factor of about 15 over a fixed-sensor system. "We know that this savings is related to the fact that we're getting a nonguaranteed, random sampling of parking spaces, versus the continual monitoring offered by fixed sensor systems," Gruteser says.
Developing a system for real-world deployment shouldn't be that difficult, Gruteser says. The team chose to use ultrasonic range finders because of their relatively low cost compared to laser range finders and automotive radars, better nighttime operation compared to cameras, and their increasing availability in parking-assistance and automated parking systems in cars. This means that engineers could potentially use ultrasonic sensors already present in vehicles in a future parking-monitoring system.
While the researchers relied on opportunistic Wi-Fi connections to transmit their data from the cars to the central server, vehicles could report their data over widely available cellular modems, they say. Finally, Gruteser says, it would be fairly simple to distribute parking availability information over the Internet, similar to the way Google overlays traffic congestion data on its maps. Or, working with navigation device companies, it could be sent to commercial GPS receivers.
The Rutgers team has submitted its project report to the Annual International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (Mobisys), to be held in June in San Francisco.

Ngä kai tötika mo te hunga pakeke
Food safety advice for elderly people, including those who receive meals on wheels or buy frozen meals.
How to keep your food safe
- always use clean utensils
- use separate chopping boards and utensils when preparing raw foods (especially meat and poultry) and cooked or ready-to-eat foods
- personal hygiene is vital to maintain food safety - always wash and dry your hands before handling food
- cook food thoroughly to ensure any pathogens (disease-causing organisms) are killed
- cook minced meat and sausages thoroughly (meat should not be pink) and cook poultry until the juices run clear.
- keep food covered at all times unless it's being prepared or eaten - especially in the fridge (this stops other foods dripping onto it).
- keep raw and cooked foods separate in the fridge
- defrost food in the fridge, not on the bench; room temperatures are ideal for pathogen growth
- if you receive a warm meal (e.g. meals-on- wheels) and don't intend to eat it straight away, keep it in the fridge not on the bench.
Safe reheating of frozen meals or leftovers
- stir your food often to ensure it heats through evenly, especially when using the microwave
- always leave microwaved food for the recommended stand time after heating so it finishes cooking
- ensure the food is reheated thoroughly; it should be steaming hot right through to the middle
- reheat leftovers only once, then throw any remainders out.
Also remember: buy food in small quantities so you can eat it all before it goes off. Buying lots when it's on sale doesn't pay off if you can't eat it before it spoils and makes you sick.

An introductory letter from RWJF President and CEO Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., M.B.A.
At the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we're guided by the principle that we are stewards of private resources that must be used for the public good. In keeping with that principle of good stewardship we need to be accountable for how effectively those resources are deployed. Achieving a measurable impact is the best way I know of to hold ourselves accountable toward our mission of improving health and health care for all Americans. Central to that mission is the belief that we must be transparent about who and what we support and about the results of our work.
For the past decade, we have examined our Foundation's performance through an annual report to our Board of Trustees. This report tracks performance along three key areas:
This assessment report also reviews the Foundation's overall grantmaking trends, and tracks:
We believe better information provides the groundwork for better decisions. This report is part of a group of evaluative efforts that the Foundation undertakes on an ongoing basis. Other activities include our Program Results reporting, our program evaluations and our Anthology book series.
To those whose responses to our inquiries formed the basis for the underlying assessment report—a sincere thank you. Your feedback is invaluable to us. Most importantly, we've listened and we are acting to facilitate your work: strengthening our decision-making processes and clarifying expected outcomes, and facilitating closer and more satisfactory relationships with you.
We are committed to achieving results and to making a difference in your lifetime. Our staff are passionate and deeply committed to our mission. It's not just a job. It is a deep conviction for the Foundation, its trustees and the staff who work here. We are privileged to be able to be a part of it.
We hope that this assessment report will generate discussion about accountability and public reporting, and about how we can be more transparent as we join together to make significant improvements in America's health and health care.

Astounding Incompetance at the Federal Reserve
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On May 3, 2005 @ 5:17 pm In Economy | Comments Disabled
The Fed inadvertently left a sentence out of the FOMC:
(Dow Jones)–The Federal Reserve said Tuesday it inadvertently left out one sentence from its statement for Tuesday's Federal Open Market Committee meeting, referring to still "well contained" inflation expectations. "Longer-term inflation expectations remain well contained," reads the sentence added to the second paragraph of the FOMC statement.
The Fed explained its mistake in a release of the revised FOMC statement about one-and-a-half hours after initial release of the post-meeting statement. The statement was otherwise unchanged. The Fed acknowledged Tuesday the U.S. economic recovery has lost some steam but said it remains worried about inflation and opted to persist with its campaign of gradual interest-rate increases.
Would someone please explain to me how the most important document from the Central Bank of the most economically significant country in the world — goes out missing a sentence?
That is truly astonishing to me. If there is a goddamned document in the whole planet that needs to be proofed before going out, ITS THAT ONE.
Meanwhile, I have people taking 500 words in the comments section complaining that I used "it's" instead of "its."

|Giant Facial Lymphangioma.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21772195 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Lymphatic malformation (LM) is a benign cystic entity resulting from aberrant lymphatic drainage. Often evident at birth, most LMs have declared themselves by 2 years of age. They can be concerning when they occur near vital structures such as the airway or orbit. The natural history varies considerable from spontaneous gradual regression to long-term growth and debilitation. Depending on the location, structures involved, and clinical course of the LM, therapeutic options include observation, intralesional sclerosis, laser therapy, and surgical excision. The literature provides guidelines for treatment options that must be carefully applied to the facial region. We present a newborn infant who presented to our institution with giant facial lymphangioma who underwent a combination of sclerosis, laser ablation, and surgery with reconstruction.

Treehugger is a brand-new green lifestyle blog (disclosure: I was approached to write it) and shows great promise. In their first weeks, they've already blogged Interface carpet tiles, water-saving shower faucets, low-energy ceramics, and a really cool recycled wood Favelan chair. It's good stuff, and will definitely go on my bookmarks list.
That said, it still comes nowhere close to meeting the need I noted in Why We Really, Really Need the Definitive Guide to Bright Green Living. It's a blog, and shaping up to be a pretty good one at that, but we need something more comprehensive, more definitive, more useful.
Still, it's a step in the right direction. Welcome, Treehuggers!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It doesn't take long to figure out Google's pitch for Fiber.
The potentially disruptive broadband service that Google is making available to residents in certain Kansas City neighborhoods is all about speed -- Usain Bolt fast.
The search giant recently opened the Google Fiber Space store that I visited here to explain the promise of Fiber to the public and show it in action. The main virtue is speeds of up to 1 "gigabit per second" (1,000 megabits per second, or Mbps), a whopping 100 times zippier than the typical Internet. The results of a speed test during my visit: download ...

I use Gnuplot 4.0 and if i try to plot some values with
the settings:
set datafile separator ";"
set decimalsign ","
a graph will be generated, but only integer values are
All of my nice floating point values are rounded or cut
off. :(
Settings, that seem to work, are:
(with corresponding datafile format)
separator - decimalsign
";" "."
"," "."
" " "."
Many other combinations don't work propperly:
separator - decimalsign
" " ","
";" " "
"," ";"
"," " "
"," ":"
"." ","
"." ";"
"." " "
Are there some "hidden" restriction to these options?
If so, the documentation should adress this limitation.

Here is what the gnuplot documentation says:
The `set decimalsign` command selects
a decimal sign for numbers printed into
tic labels or `set label` strings.
So you see that this only affects output, not input.
Input is performed using the standard C language input
routine scanf(). If there is any way to have this recognize
commas as part of a floating point number, it must be at the
system level not from inside a particular application like
gnuplot. If you are on a modern unix/linux system, try
setting the environmental variable LC_NUMERIC to some
language that uses commas. Of course you must have
previously installed the language localization packages for
this language. More information is [maybe] available from
"man locale".
Harald Harders
Logged In: YES
At the moment, the decimalsign setting applies only for
output of numbers. I think an additional command would be
worthwhile to change the decimal sign for the input. But you
still should be able to change both settings seperately.
Logged In: YES
First of all, sorry for not reading the documentation precisely.
Apperently i simply read over this first sentence. Anyway
for now i have to deal with this problem on my own.
Due to the fact, that perl scripts are creating my input
data, i think a simple substitution of commas for dots will
be adequate.
Like harders stated, i would like to see a separate command
for adjusting the input decimalsign setting, too.
Thanx for your help!

Since it's agreed that this wasn't actually a bug, I'm
moving this over to feature requests.

Support for LC_NUMERIC locale settings during input of data
is now in the cvs version. The new command is
set decimalsign {locale {"explicit-locale-string"}}
If you do not specify a particular locale, it will use the
value of LC_NUMERIC from the environment. This will set the
decimal sign used for both input and output. If you want to
over-ride this setting for the format of the plot itself,
you can follow this with a call to
set decimalsign "."

Draft Profile: Daryl Washington
NAME – Daryl Washington
Position – Inside linebacker/Outside linebacker.
College – TCU.
Status – Senior.
Size/Weight – 6-1¾, 230 pounds.
Important numbers – 4.58 seconds in the 40-yard dash, 17 reps on bench press, 31-inch vertical jump, 9-foot 6-inch broad jump.
Age – 22 in October.
Honors 'Äì First-team All-Mountain West defense in '09.
College career – It took awhile for Washington to reach the starting defense with the Horned Frogs, but once he did, he had a major impact, with 106 total tackles and three INTs. Before that, Washington was a part-time player in the defense and a major player on the TCU special teams.
Stats of note 'Äì Played in 51 games/14 starts 'Ķ 220 total tackles, with 20.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks 'Ķ 3 interceptions, 6 passes broken up, 2 forced fumbles, 1 recovered fumble 'Ķ 4 blocked kicks, including 3 blocked punts in '07.
STRENGTHS – A very athletic player, with speed, quickness and agility … covers the field from sideline-to-sideline and has shown himself to be a sure tackler … very powerful hitter … has shown good coverage skills … big-time contributor on special teams.
WEAKNESSES – He does not have the type of bulk teams seek for inside linebackers … not an instinctive player and has just one year of starting … will sometimes overrun plays and over-reacts to play action … tends to try to run around blocks, rather than taking on the blocker.
THE RIGHT 53? 'Äì As a 17-year old, he was arrested on assault and robbery charges in what his high school coaches called a single incident of trouble. Since then, we are unaware of any incidents. Quite the opposite, he's been a determined, hard-worker and a leader.
What he said 'Äì (on his teenage arrest) "Stupid thing to do. You don't think about the consequences of your actions. I look at life from a different perspective now."
End game 'Äì Probably one of the best athletes in this year's draft, with his size and speed ratio and elite quickness and agility. He may need some time developing on the NFL level to a defensive scheme, but his upside is so high he figures to go no later than the second round.
ON THE CHIEFS LIST? 'Äì Depending on what they do in the first round, it would make sense that Washington is under consideration when they draft in the top half of the second round. Unless there is something the Chiefs discovered on the negative side, it's hard to imagine that he wouldn't be a consideration with those second round choices.

Joanna Pacheco's family always supported her plans to go to college, but the ins and outs of high school transcripts, university applications, financial aid forms and entrance exams were foreign to them.
The dream was real but the reality was decidedly foggy.
"I always knew I wanted to get an education, but my family didn't really know how to take the next step to get there," Pacheco, 18, said.
As a sophomore at Elsie Allen High School, her counselor led her to an organization called 10,000 Degrees. Based in Marin, the nonprofit supports underprivileged students from as young as eight years old through college graduation, assisting with applications, campus selection, financial aid, exam preparation and navigating college life with the help of a mentor.
The group targets socio-economically disadvantaged students and those who are the first in their family to attend college. About $2 million is given annually to local students who meet federal poverty guidelines and those funds are used to attract matching scholarships from other organizations, said 10,000 Degrees CEO Kim Mazzuca.
"We want to get the financial aid into the hands of the students who need it most," she said.
The organization, established in 1981, in July launched a partnership with the Community Foundation to expand its operation in Sonoma County.
In 2009, the program began pilot operations at Sonoma Valley, Casa Grande, Healdsburg, Roseland University Prep and Elsie Allen high schools but the creation of Scholarship Sonoma County under the direction of the Community Foundation marks an ambitious plan to grow the program's reach.
"Community Foundation is launching Scholarship Sonoma County because (we) recognize the need for scholarship funds among those with financial need far greater than the resources we have historically awarded," said Lisa Carre?, executive director of Scholarship Sonoma County.
In the deal, 10,000 Degrees will run the program and the Community Foundation will spearhead a push to distribute $2 million in scholarships annually within five years.

Images of life of Haiti - a country hit by deadly natural disasters
Posted: August 30, 2014|
WORK being done to rebuild Haiti after it was devastated by an earthquake and a hurricane will be highlighted at an exhibition in Nottingham.
The I Witness display will be made up of photos taken by volunteers from Christian Aid and other charities who have been helping to rebuild people's lives.
Artwork created by people affected by the two disasters will also be shown.
Haiti was hit by a massive earthquake in 2010, killing more than 100,000 people.
And work to repair the widespread destruction was put on hold when the area was hit by a hurricane in the summer of 2012.
Charities such as Christian Aid have sent droves of volunteers to help with rebuilding and education programmes for children and teenagers.
And it is that work which is the subject for next month's displays at two city venues.
Judi Perry, of The Park, a regional coordinator for Christian Aid, is urging people to visit one of the exhibitions.
She said: "It will bring to life what is being done out in Haiti. It is an exhibition more about hope and positivity for the people who live out there."
Judi, 25, who has done voluntary work in Burundi in East Africa, said such exhibitions could bring home to people what life is like in poor parts of the world.
She said: "You see pictures of these places on TV but you cannot quite prepare yourself for what it is like when you get there. Both in Haiti and Burundi we have done voluntary work which has included education and helping with building schemes."
Martin Gage, East Midlands Christian Aid legacy co-ordinator, said: "I'm delighted to be taking this exhibition to Nottingham. I hope that lots of people will take the opportunity to learn more about our work in Haiti. It is a beautiful country but so incredibly poor, with many barriers to development that we're working hard to challenge."
The free exhibition will be in St Mary's Church, in the Lace Market, from September 8 to 13. It will move to St Peter's Church, in St Peter's Gate, from September 15 to 20. It will be open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday.
Alison Linwood, who has been to Haiti to represent Christian Aid, said: "What really struck me out there was the incredible desire among people to rebuild. We hope this exhibition really shows to people the work that has been done."

Former U.S. Rep. Andrew Jacobs Jr. of Indiana died Saturday at the age of 81.
Those who knew Jacobs, a Democrat who served during much of the 1960s to the late 1990s, said he will be remembered for his simplicity and honesty. Former Indianapolis Star Statehouse reporter Mary Beth Schneider, who also knew Jacobs, called Jacobs the longtime legislator "highly ethical."

I assume you want to just click on the link and have the data showing on your browser page to be saved in an Excel file. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. You must do the following:
1. When the user clicks the link, you need to send a request to the servlet.
2. The servlet gets the data from the database.
3. The servlet converts the data into a format that Excel can understand. This can be for example, true Excel format, comma-delimited or tabbed delimited, data. (For true Excel format see the Apache POI API.)
4. The servlet sends the data back to the browser not as HTML but as the Excel-formatted data. This is done by setting the Content-Type (and other fields) in the HTTP header of the HttpServletResponse
5. The browser will then receive the data and, depending on its settings, will display the data in Excel or offer to save the file, or something else.
I hope there are enough buzzwords in the above to start your google investigation.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow has canceled his appearance at a Texas megachurch led by Dr. Robert Jeffress, a controversial pastor who has made headlines for his comments on gays, other religions and President Barack Obama.
Tebow was criticized heavily and loudly by some for agreeing to share the stage with Jeffress.
Tebow announced the cancellation Thursday on Twitter: "While I was looking forward to sharing a message of hope and Christ's unconditional love with the faithful members of the historic First Baptist Church of Dallas in April, due to new information that has been brought to my attention, I have decided to cancel my upcoming appearance. I will continue to use the platform God has blessed me with to bring Faith, Hope and Love to all those needing a brighter day. Thank you for all of your love and support. God Bless!"
He was scheduled to speak at First Baptist Dallas' morning services on Sunday, April 28.
The hubbub about his visit to First Baptist Dallas wasn't about Tebow or his beliefs. It was about the man who heads the congregation, his past comments, and surprise that the PR-minded player would be on the schedule.
Controversial remarks attributed to the pastor have made the rounds since Tebow was announced as his guest. Jeffress has been quoted saying gays shouldn't be allowed in the military because "70 percent" have AIDS; Islam, Mormonism and Judaism came "from the pit of hell"; Obama's reelection "would lead to a rise of the Antichrist"; and gay activists have been attempting to conceal "the link between homosexuality and pedophilia."
Tebow's announcement came as Jeffress was being interviewed on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

They do make some noise, and the motor is slightly large. Even so I purchased a second unit for my cichlid tank. There is just no arguing with the price. Good Price By Dominic on 2/16/2012 Dominic would recommend this product to a friend Good pump, moves the water nicely. It is just a bit noisier than I expected. All in all not a bad pump for the price. Maxi Jet By Neil on 1/11/2012 Neil would recommend this product to a friend I have used these for years and they are always a great buy. Durable and affordable By christopher on 12/8/2011 christopher would recommend this product to a friend I have a number of these connected to a natural wave outlet for 2 years. Makes great flow and have hold up well So frustrating By Aaron on 9/7/2011 Aaron wouldn't recommend this product to a friend For an affordable pump that is a versatile as this one, I guess I should keep my expectations low. However, I can not understand how MaxiJet got this one wrong. The housing disengages from the pump and its LOUD! If you're using this pump in a reactor where you have to restrict the flow, be prepared for a loud vibrating noise coming from underneath your cabinet. Louder than my skimmer, louder than my Mag9. Great Reliable Pump By Joel on 9/5/2011 Joel would recommend this product to a friend I bought one of these to run my BRS single GFO reactor. Pump itself has worked great ever since I bought it. However, I ended up switching to a maxijet 1200 as over time I found that while the 900 worked well enough, I wasn't quite getting the flow I wanted from it, so if you are considering one for your reactor you may want to step up to the next pump as I did. Great as backup By Pablo on 8/12/2011 Pablo would recommend this product to a friend I have a few of these laying arround as backup. Cant be beat for the price Great product! It's a hobby standard. By Chris on 5/9/2011 Chris would recommend this product to a friend I have used marineland products for years, and I, finally, decided to try this powerhead, and wasn't dissapointed. I have it connected to a wavemaker, and I attached a rotating water deflector to it as well, and it creates great random, and multidirectional flow. I bought two, for my 75 gallon mixed reef, and both work like champs. Lots cheaper, than some of the propeller type powerheads, and you can buy the propeller type attachment, for this pump, if you decide to, later. Great deal, for an awesome product! Excellent Powerhead By R Dubs on 2/9/2011 R Dubs would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this powerhead to run my BRS Carbon/GFO reactor. I did so for multiple reasons. . I've owned several of these units for 7+ years. Minimal maintenance is required to keep them running. Love the price! Solid powerhead By SEAN on 10/9/2010 SEAN would recommend this product to a friend I got one of these to use with my carbon reactor, and so far it works great. It definitely seems like a solid pump, much better quality than other brands I've had in the past... Keeps on tickin... By Lisadawn on 8/8/2010 Lisadawn would recommend this product to a friend I have had one of these in my 30 gallon backup tank for close to 9 years now. Thhis tank houses all my little reef critters-food for mandarin, etc, and has acted as a quarantine tank on occasion. We had a chocolate chip star who lived in this tank for 8+ years, (after being removed from my reef tank due to his destructive habits). We would feed him daily amounts of dry algae on a clip, and he'd come and "suck up" to it. Of course, there'd always be pieces getting away, floating, and eventually getting sucked into this powerhead. I can't tell you how many times this thing was so jammed with stuff, or knocked over due that star fish. We'd just clean it out, and it'd keep running. I have never had to replace or repair this item in all the years it's been in this tank. I sure do miss my "chip", who died of old age in this aquarium! I also wouldn't hesitate for a second to replace this powerhead with the same model. Cheap, reliable, works By Ryan on 2/28/2010 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend Not much much more to say. They are cheap and work for simple tasks. I used this to run a reactor before redoing my return plumbing.

SMSing a thing of the past?Comment on this story
Text messaging, the simple telecoms service that turned into a global phenomenon, is under threat from free smartphone services and operators need to find alternative revenue streams, analysts say.
The short message service, or SMS, started as a way to use spare telecoms capacity but has become a key cash generator for operators, while offering users a cheap way to keep in touch with friends and family and avoid the expense of voice calls.
But the surge in Internet-enabled smartphones in recent years has led to the rise of free voice, video and text messaging applications that are threatening to send SMS into oblivion.
According to technology research firm Ovum, SMS contributed about 57 percent of non-voice revenues for telecom companies globally in 2009 but this is projected to fall to 47 percent this year.
Ovum estimates the rise of alternative messaging services has slashed $8.7 billion from the revenues of telecom operators worldwide in 2010 and $13.9 billion in 2011.
"SMS in the next few years will contribute less and less to non-voice revenue for operators," said Neha Dharia, a consumer telecoms analyst at Ovum.
"Consumers now have the ability to send text messaging through a variety of ways, such as IM (instant messaging), messaging apps, social networks and so on," she told AFP.
"These products offer greater features and are competitively priced or even free. SMS is a more expensive option in certain markets and the interface is not as user friendly or intuitive as other messaging products in the market."
The surge in mobile Internet, driven by the explosion in smartphones and tablet computers, was a major topic at the four-day CommunicAsia fair that ended in Singapore on Friday.
Mobile devices are on track to replace conventional computers as the primary means to connect to the Internet, speakers said, and offer access to the likes of Yahoo!, Google and Facebook, among others, with their own instant messaging features.
At the same time applications such as WhatsApp, Viber, Tango and the iPhone's Facetime offer free voice and video calls and message services when there is wireless connection.
The changeover has already begun.
Data from Singapore's Infocomm Development Authority showed users in the tech-savvy city-state sent and received a record 2.46 billion SMSs in September 2011 but the number has since been falling and was down to 2.21 billion in March.
"I use it (SMS) a lot less these days," said Joscelyn Tan, 35, a corporate marketing specialist for an electronics company in the city-state.
"WhatsApp is so convenient. Plus it's free and a lot more fun with all the 'emoticons'. I used to have to pay for extra SMS, not anymore," she added.
But it remains a slow process in some of Asia's biggest telecommunications markets.
In a Pew Research Centre survey of mobile phone users in 21 countries last year, Indonesians reported the heaviest SMS usage, with 96 percent saying they regularly send texts.
The vast majority of Indonesia's 240 million people cannot afford smartphones and buy old-model Nokia handsets, which can cost as little as $15, making text messaging a primary means of communications.
But even so the country is also one of the world's biggest BlackBerry markets - in large part because of its wildly popular instant messaging services.
With a mobile phone penetration rate of nearly one handset for every Filipino, SMS messaging has become an important part of Philippine culture and politics.
Official data shows an average of 15 text messages - a mix of jokes, chain messages, political or showbiz rumours, uplifting quotes and invitations - are sent each day by each user, making Filipinos among the world's biggest users.
As well as being harnessed to organise "people power" political protests, text messaging also allows Filipinos to communicate cheaply with relatives who are part of the nine million-strong work force abroad.
Maurie Dobbin, managing director at TeleResources Engineering, said SMS is likely to decline as people increasingly switch to smartphones.
"When the smartphone penetration in these Asian markets comes up... we will see a dramatic impact on SMS traffic," Dobbin told AFP on the sidelines of CommunicAsia.
Smartphones represented only 12 percent of all mobile phones in use globally last year, but accounted for 82 percent of data traffic, said Dobbin, adding that telecom operators needed to adjust as revenues from SMS decline.
"They do need to be more than a dumb pipe," Dobbin said. "They need to be providing value to their customers... their business model needs to change and they need to introduce new products into that." - AFP

LLP. The firm's track record in assisting smaller sized emerging companies in
public and investor relations efforts is impressive," commented Thomas
K. Allen, President and CEO of Applied Nanoscience. "The next few months
will be busy ones for this management team as our recently announced Asia Pacific
manufacturing partnership further develops and as the execution of a product
launch to non-U.S. markets for the disposable NanoFense(TM) Protective Face
Mask nears. We look forward to tapping the resources of Emerging Growth Research,
LLP to make these efforts a success for the Company, our partners, and our shareholders."
The NanoFense protective face mask will incorporate ANI's proprietary NanoFense
technology which allows mask manufacturers to offer protection well beyond ordinary
N-95 specifications. When tested as a "coating" on disposable face
masks, it has been validated to be effective against a broad spectrum of virus
and bacteria by multiple independent BSL-3 laboratories in the United States.
ANI will be testing the NanoFense formation against H1NI, but with the mask
already proven to eradicate three different influenza strains, including avian
influenza, the Company expects to see similarly high efficacy.

The Alameda County Mosquito and Abatement District has received confirmation from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) of a West Nile virus-positive group of mosquitoes in southeastern Livermore. An ongoing mosquito surveillance and larvicide program has been intensified in the area.CDPH reports the two species of mosquitoes in the county capable of transmitting the virus prefer to feed on birds, but people can become infected when a mosquito bites an infected bird and then a person.The symptoms of West Nile Virus include fever, headache, tiredness, body aches and swollen lymph glands and can last from a few days to weeks. Some 80 percent of those who are infected by West Nile Virus show no symptoms, according to Ericka Pan, the communicable disease director of Alameda County Public Health Department. Most of the rest have relatively mild, temporary symptoms. The virus is most active in the Bay Area from May through October, according to the CDPH. Residents are asked to reduce the risk of contracting mosquito-borne diseases by dumping or draining untreated standing water, adding mosquitofish to standing water such as fish ponds or water troughs, and avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are present, especially at prime mosquito hours from dusk to dawn. If required to go outdoors, the CDPH website suggests, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants and using repellents that contain DEET, Picaridin or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. Please report all dead birds and squirrels to the California Department of Public Health at 1-877-968-BIRD (2473) or at westnile.ca.gov. The CDPH issues pick-up requests to Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District and generates state-wide West Nile virus-positive reports. If you have questions regarding mosquito abatement activities in your area, contact the Alameda County Mosquito and Abatement District at 510-783-7744.

The typical American won't qualify for a tax deduction even if they keep impeccable medical tax records.
- Filed Under
Medical expenses are deductible for U.S. taxpayers. But unfortunately, the typical American won't qualify for a deduction even if they keep impeccable tax records.
"The current law states that anything over 10 percent of your adjusted gross income you can deduct, and only if you're itemizing your deductions," said Sandy Shecter, a certified public accountant and principal at the financial services firm Rehmann.
By way of example, that means if you make $50,000 and have less than $5,000 in medical expenses, you won't get a penny back from the IRS. ...

James Cameron, Vince Pace hint huge 3D movie news at NAB
updated 03:30 pm EDT, Fri April 8, 2011
James Cameron and Vince Pace hint Fusion 3D news
Well-known director James Cameron and cinematographer Vince Pace hinted that some hopes for better 3D at the movies might come to reality in a special event at the NAB video expo next week. The two will be the centerpiece guests at a "Fusion 3D" event on Monday morning that will have news of the "future of 3D entertainment." No other direct clues were given about what would happen at the Las Vegas show.
The plans will likely entail some discussion about the future of 3D movie cameras. Both Cameron and Pace developed Sony's Fusion 3D camera system, which paired up two Sony HDC-F950 cameras. The system was used to capture much of Avatar's live-action side in 3D and was credited in part with making for a more convincing 3D, including the blending of real 3D with computer-generated content.
Cameron has lately been pressing for higher refresh rates on movies. Where most 3D movies are still shot at 2D's usual 24 frames per second, he has wanted 48 or even 60 frames per second to make up for the darkened picture and strobing effects that come from stereoscopic 3D video. It's not clear that any of his requests will be ready so quickly, but it remains one of his most obvious goals. [image via Official Avatar Community]

The Magazine
Obama's Boys on the Bus
The media pull out all the stops to reelect the president.
Oct 15, 2012, Vol. 18, No. 05 • By FRED BARNES
The Time cover story last week was headlined "The Mormon Identity." The cover, featuring Mitt Romney in a stained-glass window, said in smaller type, "What Mitt Romney's faith tells us about his vision and values." Newsweek had President Obama on the cover, identifying him as "The Democrats' Reagan" and heralding the story inside as "What Obama Will Achieve in His Second Term."
Neither of the stories, to put it mildly, was helpful to Romney's presidential campaign. The piece in Time was fair, but the timing, long after Mormonism had faded as a factor in the election, was suspect. In Newsweek, Obama was lionized, while Romney and Republicans were treated like hyperpartisan right-wingers.
My point in citing the newsmagazines is not that they're colluding to reelect Obama. They don't have to. It comes quite naturally to these pillars of the mainstream media to elevate issues with a pro-Obama tilt. And they're not even the biggest contributors to the liberal bias that has dominated media coverage of the presidential race.
The bias has been so massive, palpable, and unprecedented that the scales have begun to fall from the eyes of a few stalwarts of the media establishment. Obama, Mark Halperin of Time noted last week, "has been covered as a candidate, rather than as an incumbent whose record needs to be scrutinized." As you might suspect, this coincides neatly with the president's reelection strategy.
The Huffington Post's Howard Fineman has suggested the media have all but given the president a free ride. "Obama was such a cool and uplifting story to so many in the media in 2008 that they have essentially ceded ground to him that they have yet to reclaim," Fineman wrote. The president has campaigned "without having to seriously and substantively defend his first-term promises or shortcomings, and without having to say much, if anything, about what, if anything, he might do substantially differently if he is fortunate enough to win again."
The most explosive criticism of press bias has come from Patrick Caddell, the former pollster and adviser to Democrats George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, and Gary Hart. "We have a political campaign where, to put the best metaphor I can on it, the referees on the field are sacking the quarterback of one team, tripping up their runners, throwing their bodies in front of blockers, and nobody says anything," Caddell said in a speech.
If you hadn't guessed, the refs are the media, their victims Romney and Republicans. No fan of Romney, Caddell said Obama is protected by the media. Any other president who flew to Las Vegas for a fundraiser hours after the killing of the U.S. ambassador in Libya would have been "crucified," he said. But Obama wasn't. "It should have been the equivalent, for Barack Obama, of George Bush's 'flying over Katrina' moment," Caddell said. "But nothing was said at all and nothing will be said."
Coverage of the Obama administration's response to the Libyan attack also reflects the media's double standard. Within 24 hours, Pentagon and intelligence officials had concluded the assault on the Benghazi consulate was an act of terrorism planned for the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, according to numerous reports. Yet five days later, Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, insisted it "began spontaneously" as a reaction to the Cairo demonstrations against a "hateful video." White House press secretary Jay Carney continued to say the same.
An obvious question arises, or at least should. Was there a cover-up? If we had a Republican president—or even a Democratic president not named Obama—the press would be pursuing that possibility with great intensity. And the national news would be focused on efforts of the president and his aides to deflect blame for the eruption of assaults on American embassies in Libya and across the Middle East. But in Obama's case, this hasn't happened.
Kirsten Powers of the Daily Beast is one of the few journalists to doubt the administration's motives. Its spin doesn't make sense, she wrote, "unless it is seen as a deliberate attempt to mislead Americans into believing al Qaeda has been decimated, as President Obama has been known to assert." But "most of the media herd was fretting" about Mitt Romney's taxes, she added, thus too busy to probe a far bigger story that might embarrass Obama.
In the treatment of Romney and Obama, the double standard has become habitual. The hunt for gaffes is the defining trait of the media in regard to Romney. But the most egregious gaffe by Obama this year—"You didn't build that"—was ignored for four days and reported only after the conservative press had created a mini-firestorm over the comment.

Cervical Cancer AND Endometrial Cancer: What Difference?
Cancers of the cervix or endometrium are really two distinct cancers? What are their respective symptoms? The causes are different? The prognosis is it the same? Little development around the endometrial cancer and cancer of the cervix.
Some characteristics for these two cancers: cancer of the cervix and cancer of the corpus uteri
The endometrial cancer, also called cancer of the body of the uterus develops from the endometrium, the lining inside the uterus. Cancer of the cervix, it, is growing particularly in the cervix of the uterus. Their causes are also distinct (see below).
Cancer of the cervix has the distinction of receiving relatively young women, while endometrial cancer is cancer in postmenopausal women (60 to 70 years).
Finally, while endometrial cancer is a cancer of good prognosis, cancer of the cervix is too often fatal, with 1,000 deaths each year in France. It must be said that this is the second type of cancer most common in women, behind breast cancer.
Cancer of the cervix and endometrial cancer: causes distinct
Cancer of the cervix is most often caused by a genital infection, especially papillomavirus (HPV). In most cases, the HPV virus is present in a latent state in the body as countered by the immune system. But in some women, it can make cancer cells on the surface of the cervix, many years after initial infection with HPV.
This virus is sexually transmitted, multiple partners, an early sexual life early and unprotected sex are risk factors. Other risk factors include infections caused by other sexually transmitted diseases, a weakened immune system and smoking.
The causes of endometrial cancer are unknown, but participation is strongly suspected estrogen since estrogen impregnation is an important risk factor.
Thus, the endometrial cancer is more common among women with high estrogen levels or in the event of prolonged exposure to this hormone as well as women settled at an early age, which are late or postmenopausal who have taken hormone replacement therapy.Other risk factors for endometrial cancer are irregular ovulation, ovarian tumors secreting estrogen, treatment with tamoxifen, a genetic predisposition, obesity, diabetes.
What are the symptoms of these two respective cancers?
Cancer of the cervix is usually asymptomatic, that is to say that no symptoms, resulting in a higher risk of being discovered late in advanced stages, supporting the achievement of very regular smear test. In rare cases, cancer of the cervix can cause symptoms such as bleeding after intercourse, bleeding between periods or bleeding after menopause.
Or bleeding between periods or after menopause is precisely the most characteristic signs of endometrial cancer can put on the track of this cancer. Some women can also be observed weight loss, rules longer than normal, vaginal discharge white or pink and pelvic pain.
Regular monitoring is required, as well as consultation in the event of abnormal bleeding and a regular smears every two years to begin within eight years after first intercourse.
