Ambassador Princeton N. Lyman, U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan, departs today for meetings in Sudan, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. In Khartoum and Juba, Ambassador Lyman will urge Sudanese and South Sudanese leaders to restart stalled negotiations on outstanding post-Comprehensive Peace Agreement arrangements, specifically on issues related to border security, financial arrangements, and currency.
Special Envoy Lyman will also press the parties for an immediate end to conflict and unfettered humanitarian access in the Southern Kordofan region of Sudan. Negotiations have yet to resume on ending this conflict, and the Sudanese government and northern-aligned forces continue to engage in deeply troubling acts of politically and ethnically motivated violence as the fighting continues.
In Addis Ababa, Special Envoy Lyman will meet with former South African President Thabo Mbeki and the African Union High Level Implementation Panel and with Ethiopian political and military officials in support of Ethiopia's ongoing deployment of peacekeepers to the contested Abyei Area. He will also attend Sudan negotiations being organized by the African Union High Level Panel.
The United States has been deeply engaged in Sudan, having helped to broker the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended decades of civil war between the country's north and south. U.S. diplomatic and development efforts supported the conduct of a peaceful, on-time referendum on independence for Southern Sudan in January 2011. The United States supports international efforts to promote full and timely implementation of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, to reach a definitive end to the conflict in Darfur, and to ensure that Sudan does not provide a safe haven for international terrorists. In the years ahead, the United States will remain a steadfast partner of the Sudanese people.

Movie Review: The Shop Around the Corner
Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner (1940) is considered by many to be one of the finest romantic comedies to come out of Hollywood. However, one may feel this reputation is quite undeserved. The story may strike one as thin, the central romantic relationship unconvincing, and the film as a whole quite tiresome. James Stewart stars as the senior salesperson at a small department store, and Margaret Sullavan plays the store's newest hire. They don't realize it, but they've been corresponding thanks to a lonely-hearts ad in the local newspaper. They can't stand each other face to face, but both are enamored with the person they imagine on the other side of the letters. The script, based on the play Parfumerie by Miklós László and credited to Samson Raphaelson, doesn't evoke the push-pull dynamic central to this kind of romantic comedy; one never senses the pair's conflicts reflect an attraction they're trying to deny. And the script doesn't provide enough development to the central situation in any case; it gets sidetracked into an irrelevant subplot regarding an affair the store owner's wife is having with one of the employees. Lubitsch's staging and camerawork are unerringly graceful, and the cast brings the material all the conviction they can muster. (Stewart in particular is a surprisingly assured and appealing presence.) But nothing could turn the sow's ear of a script into a silk purse of a film. One eventually watches the couple wishing they'd get together just so the film could end. However, as indicated above, this is a contrary view of the picture, and mileage may vary. The film's setting is ostensibly Budapest, but nearly everything about it feels American.

Who Needs a Ring? These Celebrity Parents Share Kids But Not Wedding Vows (Photos)TheMommyologist
The times we live in are definitely progressing, as more and more couples are choosing to have children without getting married. While some people still do things the old fashioned way and tie the knot before they have kids, plenty of people are proving that you don't necessarily need to be married to raise a loving and stable family. As long as children are loved, does the technical stuff really matter?
There seems to be a growing trend in the celeb world as far as couples who start families without or before getting hitched. While Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt certainly aren't the pioneers of having children while unmarried, they are definitely a good example of two people who are committed to each other and their kids and see no need to make things legal.
There have been rumors of a secret wedding between Brad and Angelina, but they still insist that they are not married, and as of now, they still have no plans to head for the altar in the future.
Here are photos of other famous couples who share children, but have yet to recite wedding vows.

Cutters Edge, which makes saws used by firefighters and the military, opened a factory in Baker City in early January
At the new Cutters Edge world headquarters in Baker City, Tom Ruzich said the staff of 11 is keeping busy despite the global recession that's hit many of the countries where his emergency rescue saws are sold.
Cutters Edge is making three types of fire rescue saws at the Baker City plant. The Rotary Saw, above, is the workhorse that will cut through practically anything from nails embedded in oak to guard rails and boiler plates, according to Mike Reid, an employee who transferred from the company's California plant to Baker City. Steve Brown, background, assembles a Multi Saw. (Baker City Herald/S. John Collins)
Ruzich, president and founder of Cutters Edge, said he and five employees who made the move in mid-December from sunny Southern California to Baker County's winter wonderland are looking forward to spring after enduring what he's been told was one of the four worst winters Baker County has experienced in years.
The cold weather caused some problems with the move and slowed shipments down a bit as most of the California transplants, and even some workers hired locally, logged some sick time.But Ruzich said employees at the Baker City plant worked through those troubles and kept up with assembly of saws to meet the growing military demand in Iraq, as well as increasing sales to Japan, Canada, China and India.
The plant is in the Elkhorn View Industrial Park in northwest Baker City, near Behlen Mfg. and OTEC.
"The quality of the labor pool has improved dramatically in Baker City, compared to what we had in Julian," Ruzich said. "Julian is a tourist town of 2,500 in the mountains east of San Diego, and the picking got pretty slim as far as the type of people needed to do manufacturing."
That's definitely has not been a problem in Baker City since the plant opened here on Jan. 3, he said.
After being evacuated four times in one summer, and seeing 124 of 128 homes burned by a wildfire that swept through the nearby town of Cuiamaca where he lived, Ruzich said he went looking for a more stable environment to relocate his business. He wound up choosing Baker City as the best of all places he visited.
"Coming here created a stability I could rely on for our infrastructure," Ruzich said, adding that wildfires had become such a threat in Southern California that he came to believe it was just a matter of time before one hit his plant in Julian.
He said he liked what he saw in Baker City, liked what he learned about the quality of the workforce, the quality of life, the outdoor recreation opportunities and the people he met around town, as well as the staff with the Baker city/county economic team.
In fact, he ended up hiring Troy Phillips, who was the economic development recruiter who lured his company to Baker City.
Ruzich said the move to Baker City was the culmination of four years' planning. That process involved closing a plant in Middleton, Pa., and consolidating the East Coast assembly into the Julian operations. He contracted out service work for the saws sold to fire departments in New York and other East Coast states.
When the Baker City plant was completed, the Julian plant was closed and all of the company's equipment, vehicles and inventory was packed into four 53-foot moving vans and cargo trailers and moved to the new plant in Baker City.
While some saw components are made elsewhere, Ruzich said all of the assembly work on the saws is done at the Baker City plant.
Phillips said the company manufactures three types of fire rescue saws designed to meet different emergency rescue situations.
Their best-selling fire rescue saw is a multi-purpose chain saw primarily sold to fire departments to cut holes in roofs of homes and buildings to allow potentially explosive gases to ventilate.
The fire rescue chain saws come with a patented bullet chain designed to be used nose first without kicking back, which allows firefighters to cut a vent hole in a roof much faster and safer than is possible with a traditional chain such as the ones used to cut firewood, Phillips said.
"The bullet chain has a carbide tip shaped like a bullet that will cut through wood, sheet metal, asphalt shingles and nails, and most anything else you encounter in a roof," Phillips said.
Those chain cutters will also slice through concrete and heavy steel in limited use situations, but the company makes other saw models designed specifically for cutting through heavy steel and concrete reinforced with steel rebar in minutes, Phillips said.
The multi-use fire rescue saws used to cut roof ventilation holes and handle other jobs on a fire scene come in two models, the 2165 and the 2171, the latter having a larger engine.
Both are available with a depth gauge, which allows firefighters to set the depth of the saw's cut so they don't wind up cutting the rafters and falling through the roof, Phillips said.
The company's two other types of rescue saws include a concrete-cutting chain saw with a 16-inch bar and a diamond studded chain saw that cuts through concrete like butter. It was been used by rescue crews to extract victims in the federal building bombing in Oklahoma City in April 1995, and in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, he said.
The third type of saw made by Cutters Edge is a circular cutoff saw with diamonds embedded in the blade and a water cooling system that keeps the blade cool and cuts down on concrete or steel dust when it is used to cut through concrete and rebar or reinforced steel such as the bullet-proof steel plating on Humvee armored vehicles used by troops in Iraq.
"This is the saw that's in the president's motorcade to cut through armored glass," Phillips said. "It's also sold to SWAT teams and to military units. It's used by the military to extract soldiers from Humvees hit by roadside bombs in Iraq."
The red power heads for the Cutters Edge saws are manufactured by Jonsered, which is owned by Husqvarna, Phillips said. Workers at the Baker City plant assemble the unique Cutters Edge saw components onto the power heads.
While lagging sales at some other Baker-area manufacturing companies led to layoffs of 160 workers reported by the Oregon Employment Department since the nationwide recession started creeping into Baker County last fall, Ruzich said he's added five employees, bringing the staff at the new Cutters Edge plant to 11.
Construction of the 11,000-square-foot Cutters Edge assembly plant began last June and was completed in time for the December move from Julian.
About 30 percent of the company's emergency rescue saws are exported to foreign countries for use by their firefighters, police and military, Ruzich said.
"As yet, we haven't been affected by the recession, but eventually we probably will," Ruzich said.
"The big growth engine has been homeland security and governments fighting terrorism," said Ruzich, who came up with the idea for the unique saw blade designs after working many years as a firefighter. He founded Cutters Edge and started making saws in Southern California in 1984.
In addition to the new manufacturing and assembly plant, the Baker City site includes a separate 1-acre site complete with a two-story, 800-square-foot training building where firefighters and other rescue, police and military staff whose units purchase the saws are brought for training.
Ruzich said he recently completed talks with the city and county fire officials and has agreed to let the city place its two 40-foot fire training trailers purchased with federal Homeland Security funds on the property, where local area fire crews will use them for training.
"We offered to set up their training center here on our one acre," Ruzich said.

Deliciously fragile and elegant, imported asparagus is available almost all the year round, but you'll need to wait between April and June for the UK variety. Those long tender stalks with only 4 calories per stem are bursting with nutrients and call for fast and easy cooking.
According to the World Health Organisation food that is cooked in a well maintained microwave oven is safe and very importantly retains all their nutritional value, which can't be said about boiling, or deep fat frying. Follow my easy steps on how to cook asparagus in the microwave for a tasty side or starter any day.
My Steps on How to Cook Asparagus in the Microwave
1. Buy Fresh Asparagus
Purchase asparagus at it's freshest i.e. green with firm tight tips and not too woody at the base of the stem. If you aren't going to cook the asparagus immediately after purchase, store upright in a container with 5 centimetres of water in the base. This keeps the stalks fresh for longer.
2. Preparation Before Cooking
Regardless of the method you choose for cooking the asparagus, the preparation is the same.
- Wash carefully under cold running water to remove all soil and other residues.
- Pat dry.
- Cut or snap off the woody base, approximately 5 – 7 centimetres (2 – 2 ½ inches) from the bottom of the stem.
- Thick stems need the scales peeled, approximately 5 centimetre (2 inches) from the base. This is best done with a vegetable peeler or alternatively a very sharp paring knife. This will help the asparagus cook faster and evenly. Don't bother peeling thin stems, they are always tender enough.
3. To Cook Asparagus in the Microwave
- Cooking asparagus in the microwave could not be easier.
- I like to place the asparagus in one layer on a round plate. Depending how many being served, this may take a couple of turns.
- Sprinkle with water and shake over a little salt to season.
- Cover with cling film.
- Cook for 3 – 4 minutes, leave to stand for the same time after removing the cling film.
- While one plate of asparagus is standing repeat the process (if feeding more than 4).
- Alternatively loosely wrap a handful of asparagus in damp but not wet kitchen paper. Place on a plate and into the microwave. Microwave for 4 -5 minutes. Stand for 3 minutes to continue the cooking process.
- Asparagus should be crisp rather than soft. Cook for longer if soft is preferred.
4. Best Way to Serve Asparagus Cooked in the Microwave
You just can't beat simple asparagus with Hollandaise sauce. Try my quick and easy recipe! The butter levels are little excessive, so this is a special treat only.
Instead why not try:
Smoked salmon slithers and poached eggs
Parma Ham and Potatoes

Window Guy
A Look at What Our Industry Needs
by R. Mark Reasbeck
As owner of my company, one of the chores I have to do, and hate to do, is to review and sign contracts. You know what they look like—41 pages that really should say, "We are contracting you to sell us windows, and after you deliver them complete and on time, we agree to pay you." (Isn't this the essence of our business?)
The other 40 pages are just a review of what one lawyer, on retainer, composed to make sure that the only party that has any rights is the builder. While picking up a contract a few weeks ago, a new piece of paper surfaced in the packet.
After reviewing the folder, and reading the additional paper, I gave it back to the receptionist stating that this must have gotten in to my file by mistake. She said, "No, every subcontractor must sign it."
Somewhat puzzled, I asked, "How does supplying windows have anything to do with concrete run-off?"
She repeated that all subs must sign it. The part that really convinced me I should sign it was that checks would not be released until it was signed. Hey, I really do see the connection now.
S.W.P.P.P. stands for Storm Water Pollution Protection Plan . In a nutshell, here's what it means. Home building in the desert means you "pour a slab of concrete" and build the house, as opposed to a crawl space or basement. Apparently, this SWPPP program was started to avoid the overage of concrete spilling into the storm drains.
Set me back on course here if I'm wrong, but when you pour a slab for a house, isn't it "on the ground?" Last time I checked, my driveway was poured on the ground. And those pesky sidewalks that create the gutters that feed the storm drains, yep, on the ground. While pouring concrete, it is better to order a tad bit more than needed, than to run short.
In years past, the transit mix driver would back his truck onto the edge of the property and dispose of the surplus in the desert (on the ground). When it had cured, someone with a loader would scoop up the dried concrete into a trash truck and off to the dump with solid waste. The closet thing you could find to a storm drain was maybe a Kangaroo rat hole. (Would that make him a SWPPP rat?)
So a whole new industry has emerged with this " save the concrete" program. It's flourishing because new regulations have been put into place and have become law with which builders must comply or have their jobs shut down and/or suffer big fines. See how this is connected to the window business?
H.E.L.P. From OUR INDUSTRY
My point to all of this is that within the jurisdictions of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and the National Fenestration Ratings Council, we have made great strides in improving window performance. We are "light" years ahead on energy performance just in the last 7-8 years. Mother Nature has also had a hand in helping us design high-impact windows for certain geographic locations.
Testing chambers have evolved from a bathroom shower stall and garden hose, to full scale laboratories. I believe the best part of this improvement is that it was initiated within the window industry itself. Okay, here comes the "but."
Because we are doing such a good job of improving energy performance, solar heat gain, air and water infiltration standards, it is backfiring on those of us who are embroiled in the construction defect arena. The attorneys use the standards for testing a window in a controlled lab on houses that are up to 10 years old.
My only recourse is a column written in SHELTER's sister publication, Door and Window Manufacturer (DWM) magazine, by Dean Lewis, manager of product certification for AAMA, titled, "Use & Misuse of Field Testing" (See January/February 2005 DWM magazine, page 14). The attorneys usually give it little credibility because "It's only a magazine article." Imagine depending on one of my articles to give you credibility or to keep you from death row. Point made.
So if this article just happens to fall into the hands of the governing body of our industry, here is what we need. I believe our industry would be well-served if there were definitive field tests, prorated like a car battery. If the product has been installed for 5 years, then the testing standards should be relaxed to reflect a used product. A window which has been in service, cannot be expected to perform as the day it was new. We need more than an article that states lab testing was never intended to be substituted in the field.

Marc Miringoff, Ph.D., a pioneering professor who gained national prominence for his nontraditional social health index, died unexpectedly on Mar. 4. Miringoff, 58, an associate professor of social policy at the Graduate School of Social Service (GSS) at Tarrytown who had been at Fordham since 1983, challenged the notion that a community's health could be gauged solely by economic indicators such as stock market performance and inflation. Instead, his annual Index of Social Health and the accompanying Social Health of the States publications measured states' performance on 16 indicators, including infant mortality, teen suicides, unemployment, poverty among senior citizens, alcohol-related traffic deaths and food-stamp usage.
Miringoff believed the index provided a holistic assessment of a state's quality of life and the health of its social institutions, and that the results provided a roadmap for where public dollars should be spent.
"Marc was a man of the 1960s who believed strongly in social justice," said Peter Vaughan, Ph.D., the GSS dean. "He believed poverty should be eradicated, and he gave voice to people who didn't have one."
Miringoff was born in Brooklyn and received his undergraduate degree from the State University of New York at Albany, his master's from Rutgers and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. He is survived by his wife, Marque, his brother, Lee, and his sister-in-law, Nancy Miringoff.

Marymount College faculty and students will begin working with elementary school teachers in the Peekskill and Mount Vernon public schools to help them keep special needs students in mainstream classrooms. The inclusive education program is being funded with a two-year, $10,000 grant from the New York State Education Department (NYSED), the second such grant Marymount has received.
Federal and state laws require that children with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. However, in 1999, New York was sending a disproportionate number of students to special education—38 percent statewide compared to 24 percent nationally, according to the Least Restrictive Environment Coalition. NYSED is promoting inclusive education to combat this disparity.
"The Peekskill schools were cited as a district that refers too many students for special education," said Neil Garofano, Ed.D., associate professor of education at Marymount and the grant's lead faculty member. "The preconception is that everyone had to learn the same thing, the same way, at the same time. But there's more than one way to teach skills. We are helping the teachers to understand that so that more kids can stay in the regular classroom."
Proponents of inclusive education believe the approach is beneficial to both the disabled and the non-disabled student. Disabled students are seen as part of the community and are "held to higher standards than in the past, which elevates their achievement," said Garofano. "The nondisabled child gets a priceless opportunity to explore diversity, and develop empathy and tolerance—many of the qualities we look for in a healthy society."

The Ravazzin Center for Social Work Research in Aging at Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Service, in cooperation with Bermuda College, has launched a study examining the needs of Bermuda's growing senior population and their caregivers.
"The study will look at the service environment, identifying opportunities for enhancing Bermuda's senior-care system and providing a greater focus to efforts to improve services to seniors and their families," said Irene Gutheil, D.S.W., director of the Ravazzin Center.
The study, involving 300 participants, will identify the needs of seniors, the degree to which these needs are being met and the types of services seniors prefer. Through focus groups and a survey, it will also consider the challenges facing caregivers.
Students from Bermuda College, trained by staff from Fordham University, will interview and collect information from the study participants. According to Gutheil, a report documenting the study's findings will focus on health, finance, housing, employment, volunteering and service needs. It will be released in September.
The project was funded through a grant from Atlantic Philanthropies, a Bermuda-based charitable organization that focuses its resources on disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
The Ravazzin Center for Social Work Research in Aging was established in 1995 to identify and address the needs of vulnerable older adults through research, colloquia, training and publications.

Controversial abortion bill moves forward
Published: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 6:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 6:31 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida lawmakers are moving forward with a controversial proposal that would place additional restrictions on abortions, largely barring the procedures if doctors determine that fetuses have reached viability.
The House is expected to take up its version of the proposal (HB 1047) Wednesday, while the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the Senate version (SB 918) on Tuesday in a party-line vote.
Under current law, abortions in most cases are barred during the third trimester of pregnancy. But the bills would require that physicians conduct examinations before performing abortions to determine if fetuses are viable. If viability is reached, abortions would generally not be allowed — a change that the bills' supporters say could prevent abortions around the 20th week of pregnancy.
The supporters point to medical advances that have enabled premature babies to survive more often. Florida law places the third trimester as the time after the 24th week of pregnancy.
"Because of medical advances, there are babies that are being born at 20, 21, 19 weeks," said Senate sponsor Anitere Flores, R-Miami.
But the proposed restrictions drew intense debate Tuesday, with Sen. Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa, saying the legislation "ties the hands" of physicians.
"Abortion is a deeply emotional, personal and complex decision that should be left to a woman, her family, her faith and her doctor," she said. "And we're not doing this here."
Joyner, Sen. Jeremy Ring, D-Margate, and Sen. Darren Soto, D-Orlando, voted against the bill. Supporting it were committee Chairman Tom Lee, R-Brandon; Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, Sen. Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando; Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater; Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples; and Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine.
If the proposal ultimately passes, it would not affect the vast majority of abortions. The state had 71,503 reported abortions in 2013, with 65,098 performed during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, 6,405 performed from the 13th to 24th weeks and none performed later, according to a Senate staff analysis.
The proposed bills, however, have also drawn controversy because they would change the circumstances in which third-trimester abortions could legally be performed. Under current law, third-trimester abortions are allowed if they are necessary to save a pregnant woman's life or preserve her health.
The proposals would make that standard more restrictive, saying third-trimester abortions would be allowed to save a pregnant woman's life "or avert a serious risk of imminent substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman other than a psychological condition." The more-restrictive standard also would apply to abortions performed after viability, if the rest of the legislation passes.
Joyner criticized the change, at least in part, because it would prevent taking into account the mental health of pregnant women in such circumstances. But Flores defended the change.
"I would argue that the psychological state of the mother, if it's something that is unstable, could easily be determined within the first 20 weeks of being able to make the abortion and isn't something that needs to continue on to the next trimester and a half," Flores said.
Joyner, however, challenged Flores on the issue. "That's your opinion. Do you have any medical data to substantiate your feeling?" she asked.

BBW Photos » Kacey's Huge Tits Need A Big Dick
Featuring Kacey Parker
Date November 23rd, 2012
Photos 56
When creamy-jugged Kacey Parker is not doing something bad and nasty to a big dick and cumming all over it as it slides and rides into her tasty cookie, she's masturbating like crazy with some high-powered wand. Look, a girl's got to keep busy. Champ provides the hard wood for Kacey to polish with her lips and hips. Can this little blonde with huge enchiladas (size 38H!) and a tight taco handle his big beef burrito? Just turn Miss Parker loose like the loose cannon she is and watch her go. She is a horny little girl. Whether it's a slumber party where she learned how to use her tongue from another girl ("Getting my fat pussy licked is the best.") to fucking an on-duty fireman in a fire truck in a fire house, Kacey is always on the non-stop sex merry-go-round, reaching out for the gold ring. Your comments and suggestions will tell the folks at XLGirls what to do next.

The Moonwalk Workout
View JYPSYD's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from JYPSYD
Monday, June 22, 2009
Saturday was a fun day for me. I went to a soccer tournament that my grand daughter Jylian was playing in. She is ten going on 18. I love to kid around with her. While she plays, the other kids entertain themselves and us. I decided to take along some moon shoes to let them try. (for those who don't know what these are, they are a shoe that is suspended on large rubber bands that are on the inside of a platform. They are strapped to your feet and it is like walking on a trampoline. It is hard to balance.) They had a blast with them and all the kids around tried to jump and walk in them. They were all trying to get the adults to try them. There weren't too many takers. One brave sole tried it but I am not sure she counts since she is only 18 years old. I told the kids that if Jyl won their last game (the championship game) I would put them on.
Guess what, they won!
So I had to put on the moon shoes. Keeping in mind that I am 49 years young, I strapped them on and off I went. My daughter thought it was really hilarious and whipped out the camera. I actually did pretty good on them. I jumped, walked and hopped in them. Everyone got a good laugh.
After I took them off, I could really feel the burn in my abs and calfs. I think this would be a really great workout. I don't think you would have to be on them too long. It would be something different and fun. I am not sure how I can count the calories. It is not really walking or running. I wonder if there is a category for "Moonshoe Walking" under the cardio section?

Miranda Kerr Nice Legs And Tight Dress
Miranda Kerr showed up at a Victoria's Secret event wearing a very tight dress and spike heels that really showed off her killer body and amazing legs. This girl knows how to show it off and even poses in a way that just looking at her can get the average guy harder than Chinese algebra.
Victoria's Secret really is the ultimate marketing machine. They get the hottest girls in the world to wear their lingerie and get everyone drooling over it even though they know 99% of the women that will buy and wear it look nothing like the models. I wonder if that tactic will work with anything? I should start up a line of high end guacamole dips and get hot girls to make bikinis out of the dip as a promotion. I think I would sell a hell of a lot of dip.

A superior court judge has ruled a Jacksonville man is not competent to stand trial for killing his mother with a butcher knife.
Julius Thomas was in court earlier this week as lawyers argued whether was fit to stand trial for killing his mother and injuring his father in January 2008.
Experts testified Thomas has schizophrenia, coupled with a significant level of paranoia.
Thomas is accused of stabbing his parents and then barricading himself inside their Steeple Chase Court home after they escaped a neighbor's house in Foxhorn Village. Thomas' mother later died, while his father survived.
Superior Judge Charles Henry ruled that Thomas, while he has an adequate understanding of the proceedings against him, cannot assist his attorney in helping him present a defense due to his psychotic condition. See link at top of story to view judge's order
Henry says the 21-year-old will now be sent to Cherry Hospital for treatment, and once he is deemed competent he'll be brought back to Onslow County to face trial.

AUO Named To Dow Jones Sustainability World Index For Three Consecutive Years
Sept. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AU Optronics Corp. ("AUO" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) today announced that the Company has been named to Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and also headed the Computer Hardware & Electronic Office Equipment (THQ) sector of DJSI World for three consecutive years. AUO has once again set a new environmental benchmark for the industry in sustainable development and green innovation. Noteworthy is that amid the more stringent criteria in the 2012 DJSI assessment, special focus has been devoted to the integration of economy and sustainability issues. AUO managed to achieve the "best scores" against its industry peers in terms of criteria including environmental policy/management system, environmental reporting, hazardous substances, social reporting, stakeholder engagement, customer relationship management, supply chain management, and product stewardship, with particular attention devoted to the latter three this year. AUO stood out again among the world's 2,500 largest companies evaluated, demonstrating that AUO has not only devoted to product innovation, but also collaborated with all its partners to protect the environment and strive toward the goal of sustainability.AUO has been a dedicated practitioner of green and sustainable operations and launched AUO's Green Ark project by targeting a 25% reduction of carbon emissions in all fabs by 2015. AUO continues to practice green innovation, and obtained the world's first ISO 14045 eco-efficiency assessment of product systems verification. Moreover, AUO is the only company in the global TFT-LCD industry to have received A+ certificate in CSR Report for five straight years, and listed among the top 100 green companies in China for three consecutive years. All these are great honors and fit recognition of the Company's efforts. Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are the first global indexes tracking the CSR performance of leading companies worldwide and are now some of the most important globally-accepted indicators in reviewing corporate sustainability. The Indexes serve as a driving force to companies in fulfilling their corporate citizenship and offer benchmarks in corporate sustainability for global investors.

Students receiving a Ph.D. in computer engineering are expected to achieve and demonstrate a mastery of the discipline and to significantly advance the state of knowledge through an original research effort.
The graduation requirements fall into the categories of completion of a specified number of graduate credits in appropriate subjects with an acceptable grade point average, demonstration of understanding of the discipline of computer engineering as evidenced by examination, and, completion of a substantial research effort documented in a doctoral dissertation.
All requirements must be completed within 7 years of entry into the program.
The steps for completion of the doctoral program are:
Prerequisites to admission to the Ph.D. program are:
Upon entry into the Ph.D. program, students are assigned a faculty advisor who acts as an academic advisor. The responsibilities of this advisor are to examine the student's prior background and current state of knowledge, and to recommend courses to be taken in preparation for the commencement of research work.
All students entering the program are expected to possess knowledge equivalent to the following CSE courses:
A minimum of 54 graduate credits is required beyond the baccalaureate degree in order to achieve the Ph.D. degree. Of this, a minimum of 27 credit hours must be at the 8000 level. In addition to these 54 hours, 24 hours are required for dissertation credit. Of the 54 graduate credits, a maximum of 30 credit hours may be used if an entering student possesses an M.S. in an appropriate major from another institution. The following core courses must be taken at SMU if the student has not received credit for these at another university:
A minor, usually in an area of computer science, electrical engineering or mathematics, of a minimum of 12 credits supporting the chosen research area is required. These courses may be taken in CSE or a department separate from CSE. The minor requirement may be satisfied by transfer credit.
All full-time Ph.D. students in residence at the main campus of SMU may enroll in the CSE seminar class CSE 8198 for one hour of credit per semester. Students must have at least 1 hour of credit from CSE 8198 and can have no more than 3 hours that count toward the coursework requirement. The CSE 8198 course is graded on a PASS/FAIL basis with a grade of PASS requiring the attendance of at least two-thirds of the CSE departmental seminars and Distinguished Speaker series. The seminar coordinator will keep attendance records.
No graduate credit is earned for a course in which a grade of less than "C-" is earned. Such courses do, however, count toward the total GPA. In order to graduate, a student must have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. If at any point a student's GPA drops below 3.0, the student is placed on academic probation. The student then has one semester to raise his/her GPA back up to 3.0 or be dismissed from the program. For part-time students, one semester is taken to mean 6 credit hours. It is the policy of the School of Engineering that courses in which an "Incomplete" is granted affect the GPA effective the semester in which the Incomplete was granted rather than when it is removed. Therefore, a student should consider himself/herself to be on academic probation if the grade on currently completed work in the course in which the "I" was granted would cause the GPA to drop below 3.0.
Advanced study in computer engineering consists of a major concentration area. A concentration area consists of a number of courses that are related to a specific sub-field of computer engineering. The major concentration consists of a minimum of 18 credits, no more than 6 of which can be independent study.
Credit earned for the core courses (CSE 7343, 7350, 7381 and 7387) will not be counted for the concentration area. The student must file an Advanced Study Degree Plan with the department. No degree plan is accepted until approved by the Chair of CSE. Credits received prior to filing a degree plan are not guaranteed to count toward graduation.
Within two semesters from joining the Ph.D. program, the student must find a research advisor and form a supervisory committee. It is the responsibility of the student to find a faculty member willing to provide a research topic or to supervise a topic of the student's choosing. The research advisor must be one of the full-time faculty members of the CSE department. The research advisor, together with the student, should prepare the Advanced Study Degree Plan discussed above. They should also form the supervisory committee. The supervisory committee is made up of at least five members. Three resident tenured or tenure-track faculty members are drawn from the student's department and one resident tenured or tenure-track faculty member from each minor field. The chair of the supervisory committee shall be a resident tenured or tenure-track member of the school faculty and shall normally be the dissertation director and a member of the student's department. Thus, a minimum of four members must be resident tenured or tenure-track faculty of Southern Methodist University. The supervisory committee must be submitted to the Chair of CSE and the Director of the Graduate Division for approval.
The student must complete all the core courses with an average grade of B+ or better before he/she can appear for the qualifying exam. The student will give a written proposal to the committee members. The timing of this submission will be determined by the thesis advisor and usually occurs at the 40-50% completion point of the thesis research.
Committee members will submit questions to the Ph.D. dissertation director; the director and the members will negotiate the content of the questions. The questions will generally be from areas related to the student's area of research and hence the questions will be submitted only after student has submitted the written proposal. However, should a majority of the committee judge that the student has not shown strong credentials in one or more of the core areas, the examination may include questions designed specifically to determine whether or not the student has sufficient background in those areas. Exams will be graded by each submitting member and given back to the chair. The chair, along with the other members will decide the outcome (Pass/Fail) of the exam.
The written portion of the qualifying examination is a take home (open book) exam which will have 4 questions. (Even though there will be more than 4 members in the committee, usually one member will be from outside CSE and will not be required to submit a question.) The questions will be given to the students on a Friday as determined by the committee chair and the answers will be due back on the following Friday. The student must attain an average score of 70% and a minimum score of 50% on each individual question in order to receive a passing grade.
After passing the written portion, the student will appear for the oral portion of the qualifying examination. In addition to evaluating the presentation based on the proposed research, the oral part will also address any deficiencies the written exam may reveal. The student should schedule the oral presentation at the time the written proposal is submitted, even though he/she will be eligible to appear for the oral presentation only after passing the written portion.
Students will have a maximum of two attempts to pass the qualifying examination.
If a student changes her/his area of research significantly, or if significant changes are made to the composition of the supervising committee, the student may be required to repeat the qualifying examination.
Current students who have already passed the Preliminary Counseling Examination and have not yet taken the qualifying examination will not be required to take the written portion of the qualifying examination.
A student may change concentration, research advisor, or supervisory committee at any point, subject to the approval of the CSE faculty. Such a change will generally require the formation of a new supervisory committee, and will definitely require the filing of a new advanced study plan. The student must take a qualifying examination in the new concentration area to be admitted to candidacy. In the event that the student changes concentration after being admitted to candidacy, the candidacy is revoked and the student must pass the qualifying examination in the new concentration. Two attempts are allowed for a student in this position. A student may also change areas before being admitted to candidacy. In this event, it is possible that one or more unsuccessful attempts will have been made to pass the qualifying examination. The student may, at the discretion of CSE, be allowed two attempts in the new concentration, but under no circumstances will more than three attempts be allowed at the exam. It is also possible that a student will change research advisor or composition of the supervisory committee, while still retaining the same concentration areas. Such changes may be made only with the approval of CSE. If the research advisor is changed, the new research advisor may, at his/her discretion, require a new qualifying examination. In addition, if the make-up of the supervisory committee changes substantially, CSE may require a new qualifying examination to be taken with the newly constituted committee.
The most clearly distinguishing characteristic of a program leading to the Ph.D. degree is the requirement that the candidate write a dissertation embodying the results of a significant and original investigation. The dissertation must make a real contribution to the engineering discipline, and it is expected to be a mature and competent piece of writing. The work reported in the dissertation may be either basic scientific research, engineering research, or creative design.
The typed original and five copies of the dissertation, each including a copy of the abstract, must be delivered, together with two extra copies of the abstract and one extra title page, to the director of the Graduate Division before the examination period in a regular semester and before examinations in a summer term. Upon the successful completion of the dissertation defense, the original abstract must be signed by the dissertation advisor, and the original half-title page of the dissertation must by signed by all of the CSE faculty members attending the dissertation defense.
A copy of the bound dissertation will be sent to the student as soon as it is available following successful completion of the dissertation defense.
Upon completion of all other requirements, a dissertation defense of the candidate will be announced, registered with the Graduate Division, and subsequently conducted by the supervisory committee. The candidate must make six unbound copies of his dissertation available to the Graduate Division for distribution to the members of the supervisory committee at least two weeks in advance of the dissertation defense. This defense, which is conducted orally, must enable the supervisory committee to satisfy itself that the dissertation is an original piece of work, either in research or creative design, that it has been carried out in keeping with the highest standards of investigation and reporting, and that it makes a contribution to knowledge that is of value to the engineering profession or scientific community. The defense must be scheduled with the CSE departmental office and posted in the School of Engineering. This defense is open to the public, with the possible exception of a period during which general questions in computer science and engineering may be asked that is open only to committee members and CSE faculty. Satisfactory performance on this defense constitutes the last requirement to be met for the Ph.D. degree.

Microsoft unveils Lync-Skype connectivity
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) announced on Tuesday the long-rumored connectivity between users of its Lync unified communications (UC) platform and its Skype VoIP service.
As a result, Lync-Skype connectivity for presence, instant messaging and telephony will be available to Lync users by June. However, the addition of video to the Skype-Lync connectivity is not coming for 18 months, explained Tony Bates, president of Microsoft's Skype division, in a blog.
During his keynote address at Microsoft's first Lync user conference, Bates said: "When we brought Lync and Skype together as one division, we had the opportunity to deliver this incredible communications experience and do it to scale... To that end, we have to break down the barriers so that you don't have to switch from one path to the other. That is why we are so excited that Lync 2013 is connecting with Skype."
Bates related that Lync has 5 million seats of enterprise voice deployed, up from 3 million just 14 months ago, and 90 out of the Fortune 100 companies are Lync customers.
Skype is expected to reach $2 billion in annual sales for the current fiscal year, close to the size of its SharePoint business, Giovanni Mezgec, general manager in the Skype division, was quoted as saying by Bloomberg.
In his blog entry, Bates noted that Crestron, Logitech's (Nasdaq: LOGI) LifeSize, Polycom (Nasdaq: PLCM) and SMART have agreed to bring Lync Room System, Microsoft's new collaboration-enabled conference room platform, to market. Lynch Room System can push the Lync server software into conference rooms with insufficient voice and video capabilities, explained an article in PC World.
Microsoft will make Lync 2013 mobile apps available for Windows Phone 8 and Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iOS devices in early March, with mobile apps for Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) Android the following month, Bates noted.
Microsoft has added VoIP and video over IP to all of its apps as well as the ability for iPad users to view shared desktop and app content in a Lync meeting, Bates wrote.
Microsoft is also delivering other Lync products in the next 18 months: a new Lync server in the second quarter of 2014, along with quarterly Lync Online updates; enterprise voice support for Lync Online and Office 365; structured meeting support for Lync Online to enable the transition of Live Meeting customers to Lync; and interoperability between Lync and third-party video teleconferences.
The marriage of Lync and Skype makes sense from a UC perspective. Skype, which Microsoft acquired in 2011 for a staggering $8.5 billion, has been a leader in consumer VoIP, while Lync supports SIP trunking for enterprises.

.Nxt conference cancellation
It is with the greatest regret that we are announcing the cancellation of the .Nxt London conference, scheduled for 29-31 August.
Ongoing uncertainty over the new gTLD process run by ICANN - the focus of the conference - has led to fewer sponsors and confirmed attendees than at our previous two conferences and so made the event as originally planned untenable.
We would like to sincerely apologize to all attendees and sponsors. We are attempting to personally contact all those that planned to attend and will do what we can to limit the impact of the cancellation.
In order to capture months of work and provide value to the Internet community, our intent is to run some of the conference's planned sessions online, rather than in-person, over the next few months. More details will be provided as we have them.
Extensive analysis of the process, as well as ongoing Internet policy and governance issues, will also be provided on the .Nxt website.
For more information on this news, please go here. If you have any concerns or questions please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yours sincerely
Kieren McCarthy
CEO, .Nxt
New gTLDs and the future of the Internet
Join us in the heart of London on 29-31 August for the third .Nxt conference focussing on new gTLDs
There have been 1,930 applications (view them all) for 1,409 new generic top-level domains: more than four times the number of Internet extensions that currently exist, with most expected to go online in the next year.
gTLD applications broken down by country. See our full infographic.
Join us at .Nxt as industry experts, analysts, politicians and those applying for a new piece of the Internet gather to discuss the impact of this move on the domain name system and the Internet itself.
Over three days, we have 25 sessions (see the full agenda), broken out into four themes:
- Business: The business realities of the domain name industry and how new gTLDs will both need to follow while also radically transforming the online infrastucture. We have eight Business sessions.
- Analysis: We will dig deeper into the applications and what they tell us about the new domain industry as well as identify trends, new business models, and apply lessons from the previous expansions. We have eight Analysis sessions.
- Process: The application process is complex and multi-phased with potential hurdles at each stage. We will provide a complete overview of what comes next and walk through the process to approval. There are four Process sessions.
- Policy: The domain name system is an integral part of the overall Internet and so subject to intense discussions. The conference will provide overviews of all the most important discussions going on in the Internet policy and governance world as well as insider tips on how to influence them. There are five Policy sessions.
So whether it is the new business models offered by gTLDs, or the chance to market to a new generation of customers, whether you are looking for the lowdown on auctions, or legal or strategic advice, come to .Nxt.
Conference design
The conference comprises three main elements:
- An educational conference, including a keynote, traditional session formats, spotlight sessions, industry panels and practical, as well as forward-looking, workshops.
- An exhibition area featuring companies that will develop, run and promote new parts of the domain name system. (Become a sponsor.)
- Networking events that foster dialogue between entrepreneurs, infrastructure specialists, venture capitalists, press, analysts and development executives.
The focus is on information sharing and audience interaction. So come and find out what it means to be a member of the Internet community!

Some disturbance of digestion and soft stools are the rule; and in susceptible patients there may be considerable purging and faintness. This may be lessened by atropin, but if possible should be avoided by proper dosage. A single large dose, 2 to 5 c.c., % to 1 5 of tincture acts more promptly, but may cause severe nausea, diarrhea and great muscular weakness. Prolonged administration is generally harmful and therefore inadvisable. Colchicin, which is readily obtainable, permits more definite dosage.

This usually causes considerable diarrhea, beginning on the second day, and with its appearance the drug should be discontinued. The stools will remain loose for another day. Metabolism. Buy Calcium Acetate The urine secretion is sometimes slightly increased, sometimes greatly diminished, probably depending on the catharsis. The statements as to uric acid and urea (e.g., Noel Paton, 1886; Maurel and Arnaud, 1910 ; Abl, 1913) are so contradictory, that they can have little importance. With the modern methods, Denis, 1915, found neither increased elimination of urates in the urine, nor diminished concentration in the blood. The bile flow is slightly increased (Kionka, 1906). For about an hour after administration, the leucocytes in the blood are decreased; this is followed by a Calcium Acetate Buy remarkable increase, especially of the polymorphous, which reach two to five times the normal in twelve hours (Dixon and Maiden, ic COLCHICUM POISONING Symptoms. These set in only after three to six hours, even with large doses. They begin with abdominal discomfort, followed by violent and uncontrollable vomiting and purging and great prostration. The stools are at first normal, but become dysenteric and bloody. They are not especially painful but exhausting; so that the patient passes into collapse, with the nervous and muscular symptoms of cholera. Death occurs in seven to thirty-six hours from exhaustion, consciousness being preserved to the end. The fatal dose varies; % ounce of the Tincture has been fatal. This would corre- spond to about 8 mg. of colchicin; but recovery has occurred from much larger doses, presumably with imperfect absorption. Treatment. This involves evacuation by emesis and catharsis, if necessary, and diuresis. Tannin is a chemic antidote, but not very effective. Opium and belladonna are given against the gastroenteritis, and the collapse is treated as usual. COLCHICUM 437 Autopsy reveals intense and often hemorrhagic congestion of the intestines, especially the lower portion. Gastro-intestinal Irritation. The mechanism of the intense congestion and violent peristalsis has been variously explained. They occur even on parenteral administra- tion, but this has no special significance, since the colchicin is excreted into the intes- tines (Speyer, 1870; Laborde and Houd6, 1887). The action is not directly on the muscle or its innervation, for excised intestine is depressed in tone and excursions by colchicin or oxydicolchicin (Fuehner and Rehbein, 1915). Roosbach, 1876, stated that the motor response to the intestinal vagus or splanchnic is not affected. The persistence of vagus response has been confirmed by Fuehner and Rehbein. Jacob j, 1890, con- ducted experiments with intestines exposed under a saline bath. These showed increased peristalsis of a normal type, inhibited by atropin. He concluded that the action consists in enormously heightened response to the normal peristaltic stimuli. Dixon and Maiden, 1908, also described immediate peristalsis, which was arrested by atropin, and which they therefore attribute to parasympathetic stimulation. Fuehner and Rehbein, 1915, repeated these experiments, but failed to confirm the results. Increased peri- stalsis occurred only exceptionally. It appears therefore that the peristaltic increase observed by Jacobj and Dixon was accidental, due to causes other than the colchicum. Fuehner and Rehbein refer the entire action to an irritative capillary vasodilation analogous to the local actions

No appreciable direct effect is exerted on the circulation (therapeutically, it is some- what slowed by the Where To Buy Calcium Acetate relief of the symptoms) ; nor on the glands, striped muscle, or motor nerves (Rossbach; Dixon and Maiden). Explanation of the Delayed Action. The long period before the symptoms appear can not be materially shortened by increasing the dose (Schorff and Rossbach, 1896), or by intravenous injection. Colchicin itself has relatively little effect on frogs; but its toxicity for these can be increased 50 times by raising the temperature to 37C. (Sanno, 1911). The reason for this is, according to Jacobj, 1890, that it is not the colchicin itself which produces the symptoms, but an oxidation product oxy-di-colchicin which is formed from it Calcium Acetate 667 in the mammalian organism even by circulating it through excised organs but does not seem to be capable of formation in the frog's at a low temperature. Once formed, whether in the above manner or artificially by the action of ozone, it is toxic to frogs also. Bio-assay. The toxicity for mice or heated frogs may be used (Fuehner, 1910). COLCHICIN DERIVATIVES The structure of colchicin has been established by Zeisel, 1888, and Windaus (Fuehner, 1913). By treatment with acids, a methyl group is easily split off as methy alcohol and replaced by OH, yielding colchicein. This and various other derivatives have been studied pharmacologically by Fuehner, 1913. The relative toxicity for various animals shows interesting differences.

The Day Ahead: Stay as Sharp as a Chainsaw
Brian Sozzi
Nov 06, 2012 | 09:00 AM EST
By Brian Sozzi |
Nov 06, 2012 | 09:00 AM EST
(ADP - Get Report), shares of which mysteriously plunged through their 10-day moving average Monday. This occurred in spite of the October jobs upside and favorable revisions, and if the pressure continues, it will serve as a glowing red neon sign that the impending fiscal cliff stands to bring swift, negative employment actions by companies, adding to the growing list of "new restructurings." You Buy Garbage, You Earn Garbage. My sixth stock sense unearths this: The typical Election Day enthusiasm will somehow find its way to "garbage stocks" intra-session. Obviously Election Day has its magic and, with that, a national belief that things could get better in the future. (Otherwise, why vote? The person you're picking has to be backed by your own personal hope for brighter days.) But don't be lured into the happiness and buy garbage stocks that will only trade up based on expectations for magically improved operating performance after the election. Here are some simple rules. First, while the third-quarter earnings season has been bad, winners do exist -- and they tend to really stand out. Find stocks that have detached from the company's underlying positive fundamentals and could score a sell-side upgrade heading into year-end; see the upgrade on shoe retailer Genesco (GCO), for instance. Of late, I have noticed that upgrades currently have more juice on perceived oversold situations than they had had prior to earnings season. This is a little something that demonstrates 2013 revisions to models have bottomed, and that there is potential for beating that lowered expectations bar. Ask Yourself These Questions. Will the fourth quarter be stronger in terms of sales and earnings due to election finality? How will initial 2013 guidance be set? Are there any clues on either of these at the present time? Interestingly, Alcoa (AA - Get Report) has traded sideways to slightly lower since its Oct. 9 earnings report, with a gap down the following day. Moreover, Fastenal (FAST - Get Report), which announced Oct. 11, has basically given back its earnings-related pop. In other words, the market is in a true holding pattern, so watch these industrials very closely for clues on how the fourth quarter stands to ultimately unfold after the election.I also would like to draw your attention to payroll processer ADP
