One hundred years ago this month, the International Exhibition of Modern Art, held at the Armory on Lexington Avenue, introduced Americans to European artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. This year, March 7–10, The Armory Show is celebrating its namesake legacy with an in-depth look at the current state of art in the United States as part of its Armory Focus series. Curated by the director of the Andy Warhol Museum and anchored by a Gagosian Gallery retrospective of the Pop artist himself, the show-within-a-show includes smaller galleries like downtown favorites Invisible-Exports and On Stellar Rays. The same open attitude is reflected by the fair's commissioned artist Liz Magic Laser, who held a series of focus groups to brainstorm ideas for the print material, signage, advertisements and other expressions of the event's visual identity. Elsewhere, more than 200 galleries will gather on Pier 92 and Pier 94, where New York contemporary art heavyweights like David Zwirner will exhibit the work of Diana Thater while others—including Marianne Boesky and Jack Shainman—will exhibit a selection of their artists. The fair also offers a rare chance to see what top galleries from London, Berlin, Zurich, Johannesburg and São Paulo are showing.

Over the same weekend, March 6–10, The Art Show is held at the Park Avenue Armory at 67th Street, where a more-manageable 72 US galleries will each host themed shows in their booths, such as Louise Lawler at Metro Pictures and Tacita Dean at Marian Goodman Gallery. A thematic show, 20th Century Impressionism, will be presented at Acquavella Galleries. But the beauty of this particular fair, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, is that nearly every major New York gallery will be present—including Anton Kern, Michael Werner, Marian Goodman, Pace and Tanya Bonakdar—which means it's the perfect opportunity to see a sometimes dispersed New York art scene all gathered under one roof.

Outside The Art Show, two public art projects to keep an eye on this month are Cuban artist Alexandre Arrechea's No Limit exhibition on the Park Avenue Malls and Nick Cave's Heard•NY at Grand Central Terminal. While No Limit depicts New York landmarks like the Chrysler and Empire State buildings as playful metal sculptures, Heard•NY, installed by arts organization Creative Time as part of the centennial celebration of the famed railroad hub, will place a herd of 30 life-size horse sculptures throughout Vanderbilt Hall, where they will periodically break out in choreographed movement.

Two satellite art fairs that happen during Armory Arts Week—a weeklong series of arts events that occur at the same time as The Armory Show and The Art Show—have new locations this year. Volta NY, which shares shuttle and VIP services with The Armory Show, moves downtown to a former manufacturing facility at 82 Mercer, where, March 7–10, 95 different galleries, from Seoul to Sydney and all points in between, will exhibit the work of one artist in each booth. The same week, the Scope art show moves into the historic Moynihan Station, the iconic New York post office near Madison Square Garden, where 55 international galleries will present their artists alongside 20 participants in a Breeder Program—a group of 20 galleries endorsed by the fair and newly introduced to the market.

The insider's favorite of the week is the Independent art fair, which takes place across the three floors of the former Dia space in Chelsea and features a consistently excellent lineup of more than 40 forward-thinking galleries—like by-now New York institutions Gavin Brown's enterprise, Elizabeth Dee and Jack Hanley—with others from Glasgow, Milan, London and Cologne. The Moving Image contemporary video art fair, held in the Waterfront Tunnel in Chelsea, will install projections, sculptures, and larger installations all based on the medium of video.
There are other opportunities to partake in Armory Arts Week activities this month: On March 8, Hostos Community College in the Bronx will present Longwood Gallery's Toys & Games with a Twist, while The Bronx Museum of the Arts screens rare video and technology works by Juan Downey. The next day focuses on Long Island City, and institutions like the SculptureCenter, the Fisher Landau Center and graffiti mecca 5 POINTZ offer complimentary admission. On Saturday attention turns to Chelsea, where Printed Matter will host a live visual-sonic performance, and also to Brooklyn, where galleries in Williamsburg and DUMBO will provide special programming.
But on the 100th anniversary of the year that the European avant-garde swept New York, it may be fruitful to look eastward. The month of fairs continues the following week with Asia Week New York, March 15–23, which organizes institutions, galleries, boutiques and some of the best dealers in the city to create events from Long Island City to Staten Island. Exhibitions range from 17th-century painting (Asia Society Museum), Japanese prints (Japan Society), Korean textiles (The Korea Society), a retrospective of Cambodian sculptor Sopheap Pich (The Metropolitan Museum of Art), and Himalayan art (Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art).
Briefly Noted
Jean-Michel Basquiat
Gagosian Gallery (West 24th St)
More than 50 works from the downtown cult hero fill out a show that promises a rethinking of the painter's career—from the idiosyncratic iconography of his crowns and skulls to his own unique pictorial language that fused drawing and painting and went beyond mere graffiti.

WELLSBURG-Ryan Scherich's first season at the Brooke High School girls' basketball helm didn't turned out exactly as he had planned.
The rebuilding Bruins' squad managed five victories and despite having only two seniors returning this winter, Scherich is hoping to see a marked improvement in the victory column.
''I want to see us be a lot more competitive against everybody on our schedule,'' the former Brooke High athlete said. ''The girls learned a lot and so did I in my first year as their head coach. We are doing some things differently and the kids seem to be working harder and showing more aggressiveness and hustle.''
Brooke does have a solid rock to build its team and future around with 6-foot-1 sophomore Angela Staffileno returning for her second season as a starter. Staffileno enjoyed an impressive freshman season when she averaged 17 points, 12 rebounds and five blocked shots per game. Those overall numbers earned Staffileno a second-team berth on the All-Valley squad.
Other key returning players are seniors Juliet Casinelli (5-6) and Marena Cline (5-4), along with junior Michaela Hinerman (5-4). All three lettered last season and Casinelli will be seeking to become a three-year letter recipient this season.
The rest of the youthful roster includes junior Ashley Sherman (5-3); sophomores Emily Stuck (5-6), Natalie Fowler (5-7) Lauren Altobell (5-6), Krista D'Ulise (5-6) and Isabella Preston (5-6) along with freshmen Sabrina Duffy (5-3) and Payge Farmer (5-5).
''We are again very young and have a lot to learn. But these kids definitely want to turn things around. It's been a while since the school has had a winning season and all of us are tired of losing,'' Scherich said. ''The schedule is very tough as usual. But we have to find a way to compete with these teams.''
Perennial Region One area powers Morgantown, Wheeling Park, John Marshall, University and Parkersburg South will play the Bruins twice each. All of those squads show up on the schedule except for Parkersburg South during the month of December which could hamper Brooke's hopes for a quick start.

Novartis begins the effort on a strong base, with its six top emerging markets—China, Russia, India, Brazil, South Korea, and Turkey—notching $5.8 billion in sales in 2011, up from just over $4.6 billion in 2010. In 2011, double-digit gains were posted in three of the four BRIC countries (Brazil the lone exception), with China leading at a heady 24 percent. Looking at prescription pharmaceuticals alone, the company predicts sales in the six countries will account for a fifth of the global total by 2020, compared to slightly less than 10 percent today. Hopes vested in these iconic geographies are vital to replacing the revenue from the loss of exclusivity for the company's biggest-selling medicine, the anti-hypertensive Diovan, whose U.S. patent runs out in September.
Beyond the BRICsBut there is no desire to stop there. In an interview with Pharm Exec, CEO Jimenez said management has set its sights much wider. Two other countries where Novartis is making a bet are Taiwan and Indonesia. Novartis is investing approximately $17 million annually in clinical development in Taiwan and is a key funder in clinical trials in the country. Under an existing Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Novartis is working to foster local R&D and is currently collaborating with five leading medical centers to help build clinical trial capabilities and excellence. Another high-profile market is Indonesia. "Indonesia's demographics alone—the world's fourth-most-populous country, with a rising middle class—makes it a fit for all of our businesses," Jimenez says.
The play for emerging markets is a natural extension of the company's overall strategy, which is to apply the best science to those therapeutic areas where there is unmet patient need and a high potential for growth. A Swiss small-market heritage dictates an outward perspective in seeking new opportunities; through its predecessor companies, Sandoz and Ciba-Geigy, Novartis can count on a long history in the BRICs, with a business in Russia, for example, that dates back to the 19th century. More importantly, Novartis has amassed a diverse, multichannel product portfolio that can be customized to fit local health demographics and medical practice. Familiarity and depth are important to chasing profits from the often bewildering complexity of the local environment, which can consist of literally dozens of sub-markets: Urban or rural? Rich, poor, or inbetween? Variant geographies: coastal or interior? And the distinctive architecture of reimbursement: private out-of-pocket, social insurance for the manufacturing middle class, and the publicly subsidized solidarity programs for the poor? The choices are vast.

BEDFORD, Va. (AP) -- A Bedford County man will spend 43 years in prison for shooting his romantic rival nine times, castrating him and setting his home on fire.
The Roanoke Times reports that the 44-year-old Glover confessed to police that he'd attacked Reginald Bowles last April because he believed Bowles was having an affair with his wife.
Bedford County Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Krantz has said Glover had told others he was going to kill Bowles. The two men had previously clashed on a public road and Bowles had filed an emergency protective order against Glover.
Glover also faces abduction, burglary, firearm and violating a protective order charges in Roanoke County.

Karo Parisyan was not addicted to painkillers.
That's according to the veteran fighter, who recently re-signed with the UFC after he failed a drug test and pulled out of a subsequent fight, which prompted his release from the organization in 2009.
On this past Friday's new episode of "Inside MMA" on HDNet, Parisyan said mis-communication is to blame for the failed test and that there's no truth to rumors of an addiction.
"Armenians have a saying," said Parisyan, referring to a former training partner who publicly stated the fighter had a painkiller addiction. "I'm going to tell you this. It might [sound] stupid in English. It might not make sense in English. But in Armenian, it makes sense: 'I'd rather have my eye pop out of my head than my name come out.' When your name comes out – as this guy did [to me] – it's the worst thing in the world.
"I took two pain pills for my torn hamstring legally with a freaking paper, with a prescription. I had a problem. I had a torn hamstring when I was supposed to fight Matt Hughes. That never healed. … I took pain pills. I totally forgot (about them), but I had a prescription."
Parisyan, who said the pain pills were more of a hindrance than a performance-enhancer anyway, subsequently failed that UFC 94 drug test, and his win over Dong Hyun Kim was changed to a no-contest. And after he pulled out of a subsequent fight with Dustin Hazelett at UFC 106 due to "mental issues," the UFC axed him.
And though he initially said Parisyan "would never" fight in the organization again, UFC president Dana White invited him back and recently booked him for a UFC 123 meeting with Dennis Hallman. White recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) he only agreed to the return after he flew the fighter to Las Vegas "to be checked out," though he declined to clarify what that entailed.
Either way, Parisyan is happy to be back because he feels he deserved another chance.
"I'm very happy Dana White gave me another shot," Parisyan said. "To say I didn't work on it? No, I worked on it for a year since I've been out.
"I didn't kill nobody. You understand? I didn't even do something (where), 'Oh my God. This guy deserves the death penalty or 25 (years) to life, God forbid.' I made a mistake. … I deserved my second chance."
Check out the embedded clip for the full discussion.

The current climate reflects intensifying market competition and regulatory reform as more trials are being conducted to compare the safety and efficacy of investigational treatments against a standard of care. Although comparative effectiveness studies of new drugs are still relatively new, sponsor companies are including commercial comparator drugs in their clinical studies to position their drug against a competitor. In some cases, regulatory authorities still require comparisons with a placebo. However, as sponsor companies target more difficult chronic and terminal illnesses, comparisons with a placebo may be unethical, making a commercial comparator drug necessary. Moreover, many clinical trials now test the efficacy and benefits of co-therapies on diseases that have historically not responded well to single therapies (e.g., HIV and oncology).
Based on a decade of experience, investigational drug supply chain professionals note that sourcing and managing comparator drugs and co-therapies is difficult, risky, and costly. The cost to acquire comparator drugs and co-therapy drugs is high as study sponsor companies often must pay retail prices instead of wholesale or discounted prices. In many instances, sponsor companies are unable to secure comparators and co-therapies directly from a competitor. As a result, sponsors must rely on vendors/wholesalers and the principal investigators at each research center to purchase comparator and co-therapies, and also through local pharmacies. As newer and more sophisticated therapies enter the market (e.g., biotherapeutics and stem cells), the cost for comparator and co-therapies is expected to escalate sharply. Also, the supply of these products will likely be curtailed due to the complex manufacturing processes.Sourcing comparator drugs and co-therapies often results in substantial delays and increased study cycle time. Planning and managing decentralized global sourcing activity poses logistical challenges—particularly with comparator drugs and co-therapies requiring unusual storage and shipping requirements. Obtaining comparator and co-therapy product documentation, handling resupply shortages and delays, and maintaining supply chain security particularly against counterfeit drugs are but a few of the many challenges introduced by comparator and co-therapy sourcing.
Despite mounting concern and increased attention to the rising prevalence of comparator and co-therapies in clinical trials, little data exists that quantifies current practices and characterizes the current situation and key trends. In response, the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (CSDD) conducted a study among 11 major pharmaceutical companies in late 2012 to gather benchmark metrics.

|Recommendation accepted for NECO Wind facility in county
|Written by Darci Tomky
Following a conditional approval recommendation for NECO Wind by the Phillips County Board of Adjustments, Phillips County commissioners accepted the recommendation April 19 and granted the final conditional use permit for two projects.
NECO Wind's 30-megawatt wind generation facility, located southwest of Haxtun, is proposing 18 wind turbines in Phillips and Logan counties.
The second project is the transmission line to carry the electricity to the Haxtun substation. The approximate 3.5-mile-long transmission line would lie in Phillips County and is proposed to be underground.
The board reported NECO Wind does not have a power purchase agreement at this time but feels that may be obtained in the near future.
Also during the April 30 commissioner meeting, the board noted they received word that the Colorado Historic Preservation Review Board will consider the nomination of the Evergreen Corner Rural Historic Landscape for the National Register of Historic Places.
The property, located at County Roads 30 and 17 by Haxtun, is owned by Lauren and Jody Heermann.
The State Review Board will meet May 17 to determine if the Haxtun property will become part of the government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture.
The listing of a property provides recognition of the community's historic importance and assures protective review of federal and state projects that might adversely affect the character of the historic property.
A grant application to the Colorado Historical Fund has been submitted by the county, reported commissioners last Tuesday, April 30. The approximate $92,000 grant would be used to repair the outside windows in the courthouse, install new inside storm windows and tuck-point the chimney.
Commissioners signed and sent a letter of support to Gov. John Hickenlooper for his stance to maintain a stable regulatory environment for oil and gas development in the state.
Last month, the board reviewed a proposed junk and weed control regulation. Commissioners referred the draft to the county planning commission for review and recommendation on May 15. If adopted, it would become part of the county's zoning regulation.
Sales and purchases in the month of April include the sale of a 1992 Chevrolet Blazer to Robert Sieck of Haxtun for the bid of $555.
The county purchased a drag harrow from Ag Power Equipment Co. for $1,454 for use at the fairgrounds. Commissioners also approved the purchase of a machine to assist in reclaiming gravel from county ditches from the company The Retriever for $7,000.
Approval for the purchase of new tires from H & R Tire was given for front-end loaders in Districts 1 and 2. The approximate cost for bias ply tires for District 1 was $6,500. The price for radial tires for District 2 was $10,748.
The board donated $100 to the Relay For Life event in June.
Tanya Lemly, case worker supervisor, recently left the county Department of Human Services. Her replacement hasn't been finalized, and the county is currently advertising for a case worker in the department.
Commissioners noted they approved the operating license for Haxtun Ambulance Service.

Steve Miller, MathWorks
In this webinar we demonstrate physical modeling using Simscape. We will show you how physical connections make it easy to model physical systems, including electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components. A hydraulic scissor jack, controlled by an electrical circuit, is used to show some of the modeling, simulation, and deployment capabilities of Simscape.
This webinar will include demonstrations and explanations to show you how to:
• Model electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic systems
• Create custom components with Simscape language
• Enhance your models with Simscape add-on libraries
• Detect causes of slow simulations using simulation statistics
• Run simulations in real-time for HIL testing
Physical systems often span multiple physical domains, and require modeling techniques beyond input/output blocks and transfer functions. Simscape enables engineers to use physical modeling methods within the Simulink environment, and leverages solver technology designed for physical systems. With the foundation library, Simscape language, and add-on libraries, a wide range of systems can be modeled, including multibody systems. Teams working with Simscape models can share them without requiring licenses for add-on products while they perform tasks such as parameter sweeps and generate code for HIL testing.
About the Presenter: Steve Miller is responsible for the technical marketing of the physical modeling products at MathWorks. Steve joined MathWorks as an Application Engineer in 2005 and moved to the Design Automation Marketing group in 2006. Prior to that, Steve worked at Delphi Automotive in Braking Control Systems and at MSC.Software as an Adams specialist, consulting in various capacities at Ford, GM, Hyundai, BMW, and Audi. Steve has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University.

The Case for Dumb TVs
How much are we paying for those smart features anyway?
Recently a New York area audio and video dealer conducted an HDTV shootout to determine what model would take the crown of King of HDTV. Home theater professionals, industry experts (even the inventor of plasma TV technology) and enthusiastic consumers all showed up, some to participate and some to just observe.
(check out the HDTV Shootout here)
Overall, the crew was focused on picture quality based on things like black level, color accuracy, motion resolution and other performance standards. Nowhere in the evaluation process was consideration given to how well the TVs responded to voice command, how many game or music apps were included or whether the TV could connect to a local network for digital media sharing. How "smart" the TV was didn't matter.
And the truth is, for a lot of consumers, smarts count a lot less than looks. Maybe this sounds a little like an Abercrombie & Fitch campaign, but what really counts in a good TV is how good it looks when turned on and how thin it is.
After 3D in the home pretty much bombed with the general public (though I've become a convert for 3D in big projection systems), TV manufacturers turned to smart TV as the next big thing. Now every manufacturer tries to outdo the others with their music and video apps, onboard games, gesture and voice control and social media integration.
A little while ago I asked some professional installers, whose reputations are made in part by the quality of the systems they put into their clients' homes, what features they look for in a TV. Not one mentioned so-called smart features. What did rank high? Picture adjustments, processing power, control compatibility. Their position was that the smart services TV companies are rushing to add can be easily added with inexpensive devices like Roku, Apple TV, game consoles and other similar boxes. And they frequently do the job better.
It's quite fascinating now to watch how TVs have moved from being dumb displays to fully-integrated media systems, but the public (and the pros) don't seem to be clamoring for that. Instead they're using their external devices to achieve the same goals. Under our current paradigm it's not difficult to have 4 to 6 devices in an entertainment system that all play the same services. For instance, in my theater system, I have both Netflix and Pandora on my receiver, Blu-ray player, Roku and game console. Unnecessarily redundant?
So where are the dumb TVs? Currently, only a few TV makers offer TVs without all the frills. At the high-end is Runco, which has been known for picture quality for many years. Panasonic's professional line of displays also have a good reputation among some integrators. A few other companies that don't generally make it into Top 10 lists in shootouts are also opting to dumb down their TVs smart features and instead suggest users can add something like a Roku stick via an MHL link.
Projector companies have always thought that way—their focus is on the picture first. There's no reason they can't build Netflix or Vudu into systems, but there are good reasons they don't.
I'd like to see the major TVs makers offer purist lines based on their best TV models. The purist lines would be made up of TVs with the best image processing, black levels and control features. They'd also leave the sources decisions up to the consumer.

Rig Count Higher In Ohio
June 13, 2013
WHEELING — In hopes of extracting oil and wet forms of natural gas, drillers now have more rigs working in Ohio's Utica Shale than in West Virginia's Marcellus Shale....
A story out today, June 14, concerning Ohio, in the Beaver County, PA, Times: "Report: Radioactive Waste From Fracking Plagues Ohio", by Rachel Morgan, says that "Radioactive waste unearthed by hydraulic fracturing is becoming a serious problem in Ohio, a new report claims". It says that nearly all transport of frack waste is violating federal law regarding warnings signs about the radioactivity, etc. The report makes note of the 2011 US Geologic Survey report concerning the Radium content of shale frack flowback the Wheeling Water Warriors brought to the attention of city council; and, the article suggests, that, when the extent of the radioactivity contamination becomes more widely known, criminal investigations could follow into why and how the facts of it were covered up for so long.

This is a direct result of the ineptitude of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. Their permitting process is straight out of the stone age. At times, it has taken me four months or more to get approval for a simple core drilling permit for a 300 ft sampling hole. I could only imagine the wait for a gas well. Maybe if you applied for the permit today, you could start drilling by 2050.

mike: about one sq. mile. the shale seems run N to SE. The Utica has more oil. But the OC pads thus far seem to have a lot also. The oil income offsets the low methane prices making Utica more profitable right now. However expect a real pickup in Ohio County soon.
The export of methane is unfolding. Expect much higher methane prices soon. Could double. The OV LNG will depart Baltimore for Asia.

mike; 1 sq mile=640 acres. This is considered one drilling field/unit. But they could go larger now. laterals can go a mile or more now.

hefner I agree. being a fisherman I have seen and dealt with this. fish are not where they once were. minnows are far and few and the glaze/film over the water in local streams is gross. I have no studies to back me...just my love of catch and release.

Orion SkyQuest XT8g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Telescope
The Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Reflector by Orion is a great intermediate telescope. While the Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Reflector may take a bit longer to learn and need some set-up or adjustments, its excellent optics and robust features will allow an enthusiast to grow into the hobby. Using a system of mirrors to produce images, this Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Reflector is excellent for faint deep sky objects like remote galaxies because of the larger aperture. They provide the brightest view per dollar spent.Features & Benefits:
- Automatically locate and track 42,000 celestial objects.
- Fully computerized GoTo system.
Provides bright, clear, crisp images of deep-sky objects as well as the moon and planets. Orion Dobsonians have always been known for superb optical and mechanical quality, wonderful ease of use, and remarkably affordable prices. One other thing they - and almost all other Dobs on the market - have had in common: you pushed the telescope to your observing target by hand. Until now. Orion is pleased to herald another giant leap in Dobsonian evolution with the introduction of the SkyQuest XTg series of fully motorized GoTo Dobsonians. Now, pointing a Dob to even the most elusive of NGC curiosities is as easy as pushing a button or two on the XTg Dobsonians' illuminated hand controller. High-torque servo motors guided by two pairs of high-resolution encoders then slew the telescope right to your object of interest - any of over 42,000 objects in the GoTo controller's database. No more nudging the telescope tube continuously to keep the object from drifting out of the field of view, either. The XTg automatically tracks the object's motion, keeping it centered in the eyepiece while you savor the view. What's more, the closed-loop electronics of the XTg let you move the telescope manually - or endure the accidental bump - without losing orientation for accurate, automated GoTo pointing!
This telescope ships internationally.
Please note: this item is excluded from Discovery storewide promotions.
Availability: In Stock
Ready to ship in 5-7 Business Days

I recently upgraded to Build 1083 of ZD. I have all of the themes available, but when choosing a different theme I get the message "Preferences Saved" but the theme does not change.
I've closed Zimbra Desktop and launched it again, but the same default theme appears.
This was not a problem in the previous version I had installed.
Anyone else with this issue?
Thanks in advance,

New lounge coming to downtown Orlando
Blend is a new restaurant and lounge moving into the 55 West Marketplace building in downtown Orlando.
I'm not sure yet whether or not this is a replacement for the restaurant and lounge, Heat, that I told you about a few months ago. I'm still waiting to hear back on that, but according to a business brief posted on OrlandoSentinel.com yesterday Blend will hold about 330 people and feature a mix of cuisines and drinks.
There will also be touch screen tables and the ability for iPhone users to order and pay their bills through their phones via an iPhone application. The rest of us poor schlubs who haven't yet been graced with such a phone will have to pay the old fashion way I guess.
Opening date hasn't been announced but I will post as soon as I find out.

A charter high school may soon come to Peach County as soon as next year.
The Byron Peach Charter High School Association submitted a letter of intent to both the local school board and the Georgia Department of Education outlining plans to establish Byron Peach Charter High School.
A charter school is a public school that operates under a contract or charter with the local and state school boards.
A news release from the group says they've scheduled two public meetings to determine if there is enough public support to move forward with the plan.
The first meeting is Feb. 21, 2013 at 6:45p.m. at the Byron Municipal Complex at 401 Main Street in Byron.
The second meeting is March 5, 2013 at 6:30p.m. at the Peach County Court House, at 205 West Church Street in Fort Valley.
Buford Walker with the Byron Peach Charter High School Association, says the curriculum of the school is still in development, but one of their main goals is to push for more advanced placement courses and dual enrollment.
He says the school would open in 2014 to 9th and 10th graders, then add a grade level each year until 2016.
One of the biggest differences, according to Walker, will be the calendar.
"We do feel like, in order to get an advantage, and for these kids that need the extra time, we will go full year-round and probably have a longer day. We've discussed possibly having a mandatory study hall, so kids can actually get the help they need for homework in a controlled environment."
Walker says he hopes to submit a full proposal to the Peach County Board of Education by May.
He also says financial support is needed due to the tremendous startup cost to develop the charter and secure the facilities.

Hello. I am working on a zimlet that requires me to add another menu item to the compose window. I have the following code which works famously well:
blah.blah.blah..prototype.initializeToolbar =
if (viewID.indexOf("COMPOSE") == 0) {
var buttonIndex = 0;
if (this.isInit != 0)
var buttonParams = {
text: "My Blah",
tooltip: "Blah Blah",
index: buttonIndex,
image: "zimbraicon"
// creates the button with an id and params containing the button details
var button = toolbar.createOp("Blah Blah Blah", buttonParams);
button.addSelectionListener(new AjxListener(this, this.popDialog, composeController));
As I said, this all works great UNLESS you compose your email in a new window. If you do that, it turns out initializeToolbar is actually never called. I looked in the code and the culprit seems to be here : (taken from ZmComposeController.js)
if (params.inNewWindow) {
var msgId = params.msg ? params.msg.nId : (this._msg ? this._msg.nId : Dwt.getNextId());
var newWinObj = ac.getNewWindow(false, ZmComposeController.NEW_WINDOW_WIDTH, ZmComposeController.NEW_WINDOW_HEIGHT, ZmId.VIEW_COMPOSE + "_" + msgId);
// this is how child window knows what to do once loading:
newWinObj.command = "compose";
newWinObj.params = params;
if (newWinObj.win) {
The new window object never really asks anybody if there are changes to the menu bar.
So my questions is, has anyone been able to figure out a way to add a menu bar to a new compose window?
I am using Zimbra version 7.2.0

Item # SRM0273
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Cranksets in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM Red Crankset BB30 $0.00
If you ever thought that Sram's Red Crankset looked too sterile with their grey chainrings, have a look at this Red Black BB30 Crankset. Functionally, it's the very same, though the new black chainrings give it a more sinister appearance. And since SRAM is a forward-looking company, they wanted to offer their top-of-the-line crankset in a version compatible with BB30 framesets. Please note that if you don't have a BB30-specific frame, these cranks won't work (just order the standard Red Black crankset instead!)
Like the standard crankset, with the BB30 version you'll get PowerGlide chainrings. They're machined from 7075-T6 aluminum to be plenty stiff so more of your power turns into speed instead of component flex. But it's not just about the added power-transfer that comes with flex-free chainrings -- since PowerGlide chainrings don't flex, they pick up and drop off the chain with unparalleled ease, And in addition to looking fantastically PRO, the hard anodized Black chainrings wear well and will give you many miles of smooth shifts.
The BB30 design offers a number of benefits over standard external bearing cranksets, SRAM's GXP design included. Perhaps most importantly, you'll get a narrower crank at the spindle. This gives you significantly more ankle and heel clearance, so your shoes won't as readily rub the carbon fiber crankarms if you pedal with your heels in/toes out. The shorter, larger diameter spindle is also 10% stiffer, and it's 20% lighter as well.
The Red Black BB30 Crankset is available in 170, 172.5, and 175mm crankarm lengths, and it's available in 53/39 and 50/34 chainring configurations. One final note: SRAM Red compact Cranksets don't require a special compact-specific front derailleur. You use the same Red front derailleur for the 53/39 as you do for the 50/34. Bottom Bracket NOT included.
- Carbon crankarms add stiffness while reducing weight
- Integrated carbon spider eliminates hardware, increases stiffness, and reduces weight
- SRAM Red PowerGlide chainrings for pro-grade shifting and stiffness
- BB30 bottom bracket (available separately) utilizes oversized spindle and in-frame bearings for greater stiffness and a 20% weight reduction

Does this crankset work when combined with an Ultegra gruppo? I have an Ultegra gruppo but I'm converting to a BB30 bike frame. So I'm wondering if I'd still be able to keep my group set if I just change over to this crank.
Yes, the crankset should work fine with your Ultegra group. Just make sure you have BB30 bearings and not the outboard cups that Shimano traditionally uses.

ASIST 2012 Annual Meeting
Baltimore, MD, October 26-30, 2012
A Tag-Based Framework for Extracting Spoken Surrogates
Hyun Hee Kim
Monday, 6:30pm
This study investigated the usefulness of a user-assigned tag method, a maximum marginal relevance (MMR) model of reducing redundancy, a pitch method, and a sentence location approach for speech summarization. Based on our investigation results, we proposed a modified MMR (m-MMR) model for automatically summarizing video speech transcripts that not only reduces redundancy, but also utilizes social tags, title words, and sentence positional information. We used title words as well as tags in our m-MMR model not only because tag sets only cover 70% of title word sets, but also because tags pose sparsity problems. This study demonstrated that our proposed method outperformed an m-MMR-based content keyword method that select key sentences using content keywords instead of tags and title words. Elaborating on our results, we discussed the implications of our findings as an effective theoretical basis for the development of a hybrid automatic speech-summarization system that utilizes acoustic/prosodic features as well as textual and structural ones.

PATRICK WHITTLE, Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Bangor police believe they've quacked the code for finding followers on social media.
The 80-officer department serving a city of about 33,000 has attracted more than 20,000 likes on its Facebook page during a recent surge in popularity. The department attributes the new followers to humorous pictures of a stuffed duck, dubbed "Duck of Justice."
The duck appears in pictures of police cars, department members and K-9 cops accompanied by pithy text.
The duck posts are the handiwork of Sgt. Tim Cotton. He took over as the department's public information officer in April, and is responsible for the department's Facebook page. The page has shot up by more than 8,000 likes since then.
The page is one of many law enforcement accounts to use humor to engage with the public.

I bought it for the freeway commute, which is probably not typical use, but I like it better than anything else I've commuted on. Once I do my second oil change, I'll explore the limits of it's velocity, which I expect to be a bit over 80 mph.
Speaking of ambient temperature, I wonder what the effect of humidity is on cooling. If you took air at the same temperature, but changed the amount of humidity in it, would the cooling efficiency increase or decrease.

Taxing Cinema: The IRS Goes to Hollywood
Every year, tax season inspires Americans ... to gripe and complain. But rather than focus on the depressing side of your yearly ordeal, why not consider the more enjoyable things that taxes have inspired -- namely, a long list of films.

I'm quite sure this is finger trouble on my part but I'd welcome some advice...
I imported all (300+) contacts into Zimbra and they were all there. I think they are still there because if I start a new mail and start typing in the 'To' field, then the usual list of names appear.
if I go to the Address Book tab, no names show at all. As I say, they were there but disappeared after I tried to search for someting. Clicking the 'All' button (or any other button) makes no difference - it just says 'No results found'.
I know I must be doing somehting stupid, but can someone tell me what?

For my wife the steps make it easy to mount for the knee raises - I can get in to position standing on my toes, I'm 6 foot 1 inch tall. For dips I need to bend at the knees a little bit to keep my toes off the ground but not much.
If a person is looking for a good quality device for these exercises - this is one I am very comfortable recommending.
Easy to assemble as well. Others have said you need several wrenches or whatever. I used what I had on-hand: a vice grips pliers and an adjustable crescent wrench (medium). But whatever you use to tighten things, you do need two tools of some sort to make it really easy.
I have another assembly tip that might save you some frustration and a bonk on the head. There are two main pieces, the two tall sides. If you look at the photo above, you will see one connecting bar on the bottom and one on the upper back. I tried to put these in while the tall sides were vertical. WRONG. You should lay them down horizontally and attach both pieces while it's laying down. THEN stand it up. The instructions are all visual, so you would not necessarily think to do it this way. Once those two connecting pieces are secure, you've got no worries. All the rest of the parts are pads and handles and plugs. No sweat.
It's wonderful to use. I can REALLY feel the burn on the knee lifts, whether knees straight up or raising my legs from the hip. Wow. Yet it's super-comfy arm pads and back pad make it a pleasant, secure experience. Very well-balanced too, so it NEVER shakes or rocks.
Great buy, great quality, VERY pleased. Clue to its durability? They give you touch-up paint, which says to me that they expect you to get years of use out of the equipment. Nice.

Dear Editor:
Contrary to claims made in Kenny Satterlee's letter (Nov. 26), the Indian Point Energy Center is designed to withstand extreme weather related events, including tornado-force winds, earthquakes, flooding and terrorism.
The two nuclear power plants withstood the effects of Hurricane Sandy very well, as it did Tropical Storm Irene a year ago. Historically, flooding at the site has been virtually non-existent. (One of the units safely shut down during Hurricane Sandy as a result of a problem on the grid and away from the plant.)
Satterlee's statement comparing Indian Point's seismic capability to other plants comes from a misleading online news story that did not have all the facts and was later criticized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In fact, Indian Point's capability to withstand a seismic event far exceeds any that have ever been recorded in this region. The plant's seismic equipment has built-in margins of safety approved by the NRC that we are again reviewing to further ensure safety.
Additionally, Indian Point has layers upon layers of safety and security systems and programs that include back-ups to the back-ups and continuous training to help ensure safe operation or shutdown during natural or potential security related events. A demonstration of that rigor is taking place at Indian Point with several days of security exercises being evaluated by the NRC.
Entergy, the owner of Indian Point, has invested more than $1 billion since purchasing the two units from New York State and Con Ed and has applied for a renewed license to continue operating this important facility for an additional 20 years. After performing exhaustive equipment and environmental reviews, including poring through documents, the NRC staff has stated Indian Point is a safe plant and can operate safely during the extended license period.
Indian Point reliably provides 25 percent of New York City and Westchester County's electricity, with virtually no greenhouse gas emissions. We are committed to safely operating this major part of the state's energy infrastructure for as long as it benefits New Yorkers.
The writer is communications manager, Entergy Indian Point Energy Center.

In Virginia Woolf's magnificent 1927 novel To the Lighthouse, Mrs. Ramsay is the mother of eight children, ranging in age from 17 to 6, and she spends her life thinking and working towards the happiness of others. She is a soothing, sociable, lovely mother, an indulgent wife, a thoughtful neighbor. She has aspirations to better the dairy system and improve the delivery of less expensive and more healthful milk -- but when she even alludes to these aloud, her whole family laughs at her over the dinner table. It is not intended (by them) to be the cruel laughter of derision, but rather the silvery tinkling laughter of those sharing a joke at no one's expense. But it nonetheless feels unbearably cruel to a reader who by this point in the novel understands Mrs. Ramsay's life of giving and giving and giving and sympathizes with her interest in doing something intellectually challenging. Of course, to the merry party gathered around her dinner table in 1927, there is nothing better she could possibly choose to do than manage such a glorious meal even on the wilds of the Scottish coast in their summer vacation home.
At one point, Mrs. Ramsay reflects on the value of the occasional moments she has to herself, which she characterizes as her time,
To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others.I find this image incredibly powerful as a way to describe the life of a woman who lives almost exclusively for others: when she is alone, she shrinks to a small bit of darkness that no one else can see -- hiding, as it were, the very essence of her being from prying eyes by way of protecting that tiny scrap of self from being absorbed as well in the demands of "all the being and the doing."
Julie Pippert asks, in her query for the week, to what limits one would go for one's children. And I have to answer: apart from matters of life or death, I would stop well short of becoming Mrs. Ramsay. Although it may go without saying, I will say anyway that if life or health depended upon it, I would do anything for my children -- fight off a bear with my camera, travel halfway around the world to consult a doctor, sell all my stuff, donate a kidney, you name it.
On the other hand, when it comes to the day-to-day, to the wants as opposed to the needs, I draw the line of self-sacrifice somewhat closer. Because my children are still very young (4 and 2), and therefore prone to disaster, poor judgment, and all the harms that may befall children who cannot read or (in the case of Daughter) cannot even speak fluently, I do spend a tremendous amount of time watching out for them. I neglect working on my book to teach Son how to sew. (On Monday, he hand-stitched the seams on a cowboy vest for his teddy.) I neglect to put on make-up or dry my hair most mornings in favor of changing diapers or making breakfast. I choose dinner menus on the basis of least common denominators from whatever sliver of Venn diagram includes both their preschool tastes and my requirement that we all eat vegetables. I plan my daily schedule around naptimes and mealtimes and known melt-down triggers.
But I do not plan to do this forever.
I want my children to be independent, well-rounded, thinking creatures who can fend off their own looming boredom. I want them to be under-scheduled enough that they actually get bored occasionally. I want them to learn that intellectual curiosity is the key to a fascinating world -- and I want them to know how to look stuff up to find answers.
I understand that I will have to teach them these things. I take it as my job to guide them towards these skills, to foster their growth, to support them when they struggle. But, in fact, I do not think it is my job to keep them from failing at something. No one can be the fastest, smartest, mathest, writingest, buildingest, and coolest every single minute of the day. And that's an important lesson to learn too.
Even more, I think, it is important to learn that we are a family. And being a family means that we share many things -- laughter, vacations, a love of meatballs-and-macaroni-and-cheese, and responsibilities to each other. We owe each other a little private time every day. I must do the best I can to raise thoughtful, considerate, smart kids with reasonably good judgment, and then I must stand back and be willing to let them make some mistakes and learn something from them. They must let me help, guide and teach them, and they must let me stand back. As much as I have an obligation to help them learn, being part of a family means that as they get older and more capable of some independence, they will have an obligation to let me have some time for myself as well.
I think it is vitally important that they understand that Mama has needs too. Not that I will expect them to take over what are justifiably a parent's jobs at home, but that I will expect them to respect my own ambitions, my time, my dreams, just as I respect theirs. It will be a struggle, I can already see, to help them learn that they do not need me in the same room as them every single minute of the day, that I do not need to serve as a witness or bear affirmation to every successfully cooked air omelette. But I will stick to my feeling that they must learn this.
Because I see in Mrs. Ramsay's fate the net result of never teaching one's children the value of oneself as an individual. When, a hundred or so pages into the novel, after the summer is over and the house is boarded up, we learn the following (yes, the original is enclosed in [ ]), it is an incredible shock:
[Mr. Ramsay, stumbling along a passage one dark morning, stretched his arms out, but Mrs. Ramsay having died rather suddenly the night before, his arms, though stretched out, remained empty.]Her death is recorded as a dependent clause stuck in the middle of a parenthetic sentence whose subject is her husband. In short, Mrs. Ramsay has shrunk to such an infinitesimal wedge-shaped core of darkness that she has disappeared, and the only reason anyone even notices she is gone is that she is not there to catch them when they fall.
I do not need to be famous or wealthy, but I do need to be Somebody. A whole person. An individual. I need my children to need me, to love me, and to see the strength in standing next to me rather than attached to me. That will not happen for some years, I expect, as they slowly grow to a point where alone-time becomes valuable and important for them as well. But it is my hope that they will see through my example that while accolades may come and go, races may be won or lost, a Self is the one thing no one can take from you. Unless you allow that to happen. I do not want them ever to allow that to happen to themselves. And so I think I must show them how I can love them with my whole heart and at the same time not allow mothering to so consume me that I allow my own Self to disappear. I do not know exactly where I will draw the line in future, but I do know that wherever that line is, there will be a brightness, not a darkness, that demarcates it.

Arabic Web Interface Design through the Eyes of Hofstede

Monday, 6:30pm
This study examines selected design characteristics of government Web interfaces from ten Arab countries using Hofstede's cultural dimensions. Organizational and graphical elements from 100 ministry websites from Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman were examined using content analysis method. The results suggest that Hofstede's model of culture does not fully reflect the design characteristics of these interfaces.

A heart murmur is a sound made by turbulent blood flow in the heart. It sounds like whooshing or swishing with each heartbeat. Some adults and many children have incidental heart murmurs that are benign (harmless) and are not caused by abnormalities in the heart. At least 30% of children may have an innocent heart murmur at some point during childhood. However, some heart murmurs can signal an underlying heart problem.
Benign murmurs are caused by the normal flow of blood through the heart and large vessels near the heart. The murmur may come and go over time. Some things that can increase blood flow and cause a benign heart murmur to be heard include:
Abnormal heart murmurs can be due to:
Risk factors for normal heart murmurs include:
Risk factors for abnormal heart murmurs include:
Benign heart murmurs usually cause no symptoms. Patients with mitral valve prolapse sometimes complain of vague chest discomfort and other symptoms. It remains unclear whether or not the valvular abnormality is causing the symptoms.
Signs and symptoms of abnormal heart murmurs can include:
If you think that you or your child has a heart murmur, you should see the doctor.
Most benign heart murmurs are diagnosed during the course of a routine physical exam with a stethoscope. Some abnormal heart murmurs are also discovered this way. Other abnormal heart murmurs are discovered initially by their symptoms.
Tests may include:
Benign heart murmurs require no treatment. Treatment of other heart murmurs depends on the underlying cause and extent of the problem.
Medicines can either treat the cause of the heart abnormality associated with the murmur or help compensate for its dysfunction:
Surgery is often necessary to treat severe heart abnormalities:
Preventing benign heart murmurs is unnecessary. To help reduce your risk of developing an abnormal heart murmur:
Although not routinely recommended for every type of heart murmur, you may need to take antibiotics before and after some medical or dental procedures that could allow bacteria to enter your bloodstream. Ask your doctor if you need to take preventive antibiotics.

Letters to the Editor: East Rockaway, Lynbrook
(Page 2 of 2)
On June 21, Fly with the Owls Inc. was pleased to have the opportunity to sponsor the 7th annual post-prom breakfast for graduating Lynbrook High School students.
The event, which took place at the Lynbrook Village Pool from 3:45 to 5:15 a.m., offers the students a safe and fun environment in which to celebrate their graduation. They were served breakfast, and had the chance to win raffle prizes including televisions, laptops and American Express gift cards, and enjoyed the use of the pool facilities. Complimentary car service home from the event was provided by Village Car Service.
On behalf of Fly with the Owls, I'd like to thank all who helped make the post-prom breakfast possible, including Mayor Bill Hendrick and the Lynbrook Village Board of Trustees; Recreation Director Pat McDermott and his staff; the Lynbrook School District and its board; David O'Neill and Village Car Service; Michael Clancy and Lynbrook Bagels; and the parent volunteers who chaperoned the event. We are also grateful to the sponsors of the Fly with the Owls Run/Walk, whose generosity provides the financial support for this and many other youth activities and programs sponsored by our organization.
We look forward to welcoming the Lynbrook High School Class of 2014 to the eigth annual Post Prom Breakfast next June.

Very well said Eleanor. So refreshing to hear a voice of reason.

Roe V Wade is the law of the land. Texas is trying to circumvent already decided law. If you feel the law is wrong, work to change it (A constitutional amendment would be required to override the Supreme Court). I'm not sure shutting clinics, preventing health care to poor women which includes counseling, birth control, pap smears and other cancer screening and education is the way to resolve unwanted pregnancies. It has been proven over and over again that 1) abstinence doesn't work with teenagers and 2) education does work.
Instead of calling yourself 'pro-life' you should be honest and admit you are just 'pro-birth'. As soon as the child is born you are fine with eliminating nutrition programs, early education programs, food stamps and a livable minimum wage.

Great set of democrat talking points. Nobody is talking about closing clinics, preventing heath care to poor women, nobody. And please tell exactly where republicans want to, as you state, ELIMINATE nutrition programs, early education and food stamps. These are all the same tired deceitful democrat talking points that cannot be backed up. What is your definition of a livable minimum wage? Before you say $15 an hour like the food service people want, which is ridiculous, let me rmind you that the Messaiah, sorry, Obama, says it should be $9. Which I agree with.
