|Fall play a lesson in all things theatrical
|Written by Darci Tomky
From musicals and melodramas to monologues and mimes, the HHS Drama Department introduced the audience to all things theatrical in their production of "Just Another High School Play."
They took the HHS stage, under the direction of Eric Conklin, last Friday and Saturday, Nov. 16 and 17.
After being deserted by their teacher, it was up to the stage manager, played by Molly Brandt, and the assistant director, played by Ben Martinez, to pull it all together. The sensible Brandt finds some old scripts for the students to use, but the self-obsessed Martinez is more of a distraction than a help, with his Hokey Pokey dancing, piano playing and misuse of the phrase, "Break a leg."

The narrator Brandon Struckmeyer took audiences on a journey through time with Egypt, Rome and England, and even a dose of "Grease" the musical with Kelsey Kramer and José Jaquez. Then some mimes, including Dani Brandt, left the audience just a little speechless.

Escaping the dangers of bright, shiny light bulbs, Jacob Vasa and Brittney Prottsman demonstrated just how actors stay in such good mental shape.
Although the announcer, A.J. Brandt, made a disclaimer that they didn't mean to offend anyone, including all those Haxtun High students in attendance, actor Anastasia Conklin was more than offended when a joke in the sound booth disrupted her "To be, or not to be" speech.
Actors must always remember "safety first," even if Vasa and Zach Roll are dueling it out with seemingly harmless balloon animals and rubber chickens.
Zach Roll, pictured at right, proves he's not chicken when he faces Jacob Vasa, who is accidentally wounded during a "sword fight" with a balloon animal and a rubber chicken.
Audience members learned it is, in fact, possible to complete the history of melodramas in 90 seconds or less, with the help of Maddie King, Elli Ahro, Vasa and Conklin. And Jaquez, Roll and Vasa proved it's possible to turn "A Christmas Carol" into a rap, complete with some "yo yo yos" and baggy shorts.

As if that wasn't enough to get the audience rolling in the aisles, the sight of Ryan Parker, Struckmeyer, Vasa and Roll in dresses was enough to do them in. Girls Josilyn Lutze, Jacinda Krueger, Peyton Dittmer and Alyssa Livermore cleverly switched things up on the guys for a unique version of "Little Men" and some surrealism, complete with fairy wings and wands.
As if the dress wasn't enough, Ryan Parker really gets the audience
The joke was on Holyoke during Struckmeyer and Lutze's rendition of "Our Town," and a less-than-accurate simultaneous performance of Tom Jones and David Copperfield by Troy Brown and Roll kept the audience on their toes.

It wouldn't be theater without a performance of "Romeo and Juliet," although a puppet show probably isn't exactly what Shakespeare had in mind.

Audiences were tested in their theater knowledge when Alex McCallum, Parker, Roll and Krueger took them through a whirlwind of parodies of some of the classics.
After dozens of plays and musicals spanning hundreds of years, in the end, cast members proved this was anything but "Just Another High School Play."

It's no secret that law enforcement agencies are consistently being asked to do more with fewer resources. Budget cuts have meant fewer feet on the street and ever increasing demands on agencies and officers alike. To meet these growing demands, many agencies are increasingly relying on technology to fill that gap.
There are four important steps to make sure that you're using data to its fullest potential.
1. Collecting the data
The fact of the matter is there is a plethora of data available. Useful data may include department-specific information such as:
- Recent bookings
- Various types of crimes that have been committed
- Calendar of when crimes occurred
- Maps of where illegal activities took place
- Written citations
However, according to Doug Wylie, Editor in Chief of PoliceOne, some cities take it a step further to include a much greater holistic view of the community a department serves to include everything from utilities and social services records to new building permits.
2 . Accurate Data
Recently, one big city police department announced it would no longer be releasing monthly crime reports because the Excel files they used to distribute the information were being corrupted. Someone had been changing the data the public viewed. This follows the accusations a couple of years ago that the New York Police Department had been falsifying data.
Audits by PublicEngines reveals that up to 25% of all law enforcement data housed in RMS or CAD systems is not accurately recorded.
However, there are ways to improve data accuracy. According to a recent report, some of the variables that agencies should consider include:
- Data that is correctly captured. This is crucial because there are myriad of codes, statutes and other minor details that allow for human error. Information can be mislabeled or mapped incorrectly. Regular review and comparison can help catch errors and ensure greater accuracy.
- Quality report writing that includes correct classifications, a built-in multiple-level review processes, and a system to all for reclassification, supplements and follow-up reports to be reviewed, approved and added.
- Regular audits of reports to verify accuracy. This might also include periodic surveys of randomly selected citizens, who have reported criminal activity to verify your records accurately reflect the facts as they were reported.
3. Adequately Interpreted Data
Those agencies with analysts rely on these hard-working people to identify crime trends. But they're stretched thin. The ability for officers to predict crimes not only relieves some of the pressure on analysts, it also helps reduce crime. Access to this information is the key factor.
But with sheer amount of data now being gathered, is there room to interpret it in a way that predicts even more crime?
Take some of the non-criminal data that agencies are gathering that was mentioned by PoliceOne's Wylie. An officer knows that construction sites often experience the theft of materials, vandalism and graffiti. If he also knows from new building permits that construction is under way in several projects, redirecting himself to those areas can significantly reduce the potential for those crimes.
4.Getting data into hands of those that take action
As the above example illustrates, when officers on the street have access to data, they can act accordingly. However, that can prove a challenge.
Products like CommandCentral Predictive, work to eliminate those challenges. Since it's cloud-based, it is available literally anywhere it is needed so long as an Internet connected device is available. Reports can even be sent directly to officers via email automatically.
Officers in the field are hardly desk jockeys, which is why allowing them to access the information while in the field via their mobile phone or tablet is so important. It can literally be the difference between a crime being prevented and a crime occurring.
Data is available – maybe even too much data is available – but there are ways to harness that information to help predict and prevent crime. Collecting that data from a wide variety of sources, ensuring its accuracy and interpreting its value are important first steps. However, utilizing technology – getting this information to officers wherever they may be – allows them to predict crime and make the streets safer for everyone.

http://mmajunkie.com Duane "Bang" Ludwig has been in the news a lot lately.
And none of it has been related to his upcoming fight against dangerous veteran Josh Neer.
With the UFC deciding to formally recognize Ludwig's 2006 six-second knockout of Jonathan Goulet in its record books as its fastest ever, it's now time to recalibrate for more pressing business.
Ludwig (21-11 MMA, 4-2 UFC) faces Josh Neer (32-10-1 MMA, 5-6 UFC) in welterweight action in a FX-televised co-headliner of UFC on FX 1. The preliminary card airs on FUEL TV. The event takes place Friday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. The night's main event features lightweights Melvin Guillard and Jim Miller.
"We're both going to get in there and bite down on our mouthpieces and scrap," Ludwig told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "It's definitely a good matchup for the fans and for me. I'm happy about this one."
On paper, it looks like a "Fight of the Night" contender given the style of both combatants. Ludwig is a consummate technical kickboxer while Neer is a slugger notorious for standing in the pocket and welcoming contact. In some ways it's a minor miracle the pair has never locked horns with one another.
Both men have logged nearly a decade in the fight game, fought in a laundry list of promotions, and competed all over the map. In fact, they've only met each other once before at a recent event in which they had a brief, cordial exchange.
"I talked to him (Neer) once in New Jersey before one of the UFC (events)," Ludwig said. "That was pretty much it. It was kind of always in the back of my mind that we'd cross paths one day inside the cage. And come the 20th, it will be that time."
In the meantime, they can try to gain familiarity with one another by viewing tape. There's enough tape on both men to fill up a hard drive.
"He's very tough," Ludwig said. "I feel I'm technically superior. I think I hit harder. I definitely mix it up a bit better. I'm technically sound.
"But like I said, he's definitely tough. He can wrestle decently. He's pretty good off his back. He's pretty well-rounded, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to sock him up, so it's going to be fun."
Ludwig is on a two-fight win streak following a return to the 170-pound division. He defeated Nick Osipczak via split decision at UFC 122 and followed it up with a unanimous-decision victory over Amir Sadollah at UFC on Versus 5.
Neer, on the other hand, has won six of seven following his 2009 release from the UFC. He returned to the promotion this past October and defeated Keith Wisniewski by TKO at UFC on Versus 6.
In some ways the matchup has been overshadowed by the collective push of hardcore MMA fans, UFC commentator Joe Rogan, and the MMA media – among others – to have Ludwig's 2006 knockout of Goulet recognized as the fastest in the promotion's history. The groundswell brought enough attention to the issue in recent months that the UFC decided to go back and took a closer look at the Spike TV footage.
After adjusting for the timekeeper's error, the UFC revised the 11-second knockout down to four thus giving Ludwig the record. The Nevada State Athletic Commission, however, has yet to officially make the change citing no legal avenue to do so.
This means Todd Duffee technically still holds the fastest knockout in UFC history at seven seconds when he dropped Tim Hague at UFC 102. Chan Sung Jung then tied the mark with a seven-second stoppage of Mark Hominick at UFC 140.
Outside the UFC, there have been a slew of quick knockouts of note at various levels of competition as well. Chris Clements' one-punch knockout of Lautaro Tucas in May 2006 under the TKO banner came in three seconds. Just 48 hours before, Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto knocked out Kazuyuki Miyata with a four-second flying knee at K-1 HERO'S 5. Joey Villasenor recorded a five-second knockout of Hank Weiss in King of the Cage. And on and on.
Regardless, the UFC has chosen to pound the gavel on the issue and give their promotional record to the man they feel is the rightful owner. And it's good enough for Ludwig. He can now sleep well at night.
"The UFC are my brothers," he said. "They're my family. That means more to me than having some government-employee man in a suit tell me what I have and what I don't have.
"It's definitely cool to have the fastest knockout credited to me. I'm like a certified ninja."

Easy there! If we learned anything from last year it is that we shouldn't speak in absolutes about winning Big 12 tournament games.
I'm hoping for an ISU win and a Kansas lost tomorrow. I would make the drive down on Friday afternoon to see a Texas Tech vs ISU semifinal game. Would love to pick up some cheap tickets from Kansas fans for the semi-finals.
I have ONE thing to say to this team...REFUSE TO LOSE! Because of the W-L record which is necessarily posted everywhere, I don't think all that many people (even INSIDE the conference) have very high expectations for you this post-season (B-12 and NCAA). Frankly, after watching your performance early this season against the likes of Cincinatti & UNLV, I was not very impressed with your toughness and "can do" potential. Yet - especially after the multiple hijacked and throw-away games, you know full well that you CAN beat ANYONE. If there IS any doubt in any of your minds about that, then you are underestimating yourselves and need to put that idea away for good! You HAVE the potential to "win it all", and you DO have Korie's tournament experience to help keep a proper perspective! I believe the Big 12 has literally ripped you (and us fans) off...and done it with absolute impunity! You NEED to go into this OU game with a chip on your shoulders...not a chip that makes you excessively emotional, but a chip that reminds you at ALL times to be DETERMINED not to "let up", to keep your feet on the enemy's NECK, and REFUSE to let him/them UP!
YOU ARE Cyclones, you are a force of nature, a force NOT to be denied, NOT to be distracted, and NOT TO "SETTLE" FOR LOSING AGAIN!
You have a chance to make history now, and you ARE CAPABLE...but 'THEY' want to "keep you down"...REFUSE to let THAT happen, and exciting times INDEED are JUST AHEAD!
Free throw defense is key. If we have to, Freddy will put the guards down on the block to entice some missed FTs. ha
Leaving for kc in 5 minutes! I haven't ever been to a big 12 game so hopfully I can help end this god awful streak!

Guilty verdict in burglary trial; victim was federal public defender
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 4:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 4:11 p.m.
A man whose only link to a burglary scene was one spot of blood on a Post-It note was found guilty by a jury Wednesday afternoon.
Sentencing for Rocco Dominic Gelonese, 34, will be delayed up to 45 days because a pre-sentencing investigation has been ordered.
The defendant was charged with two felony counts of burglary of a structure and grand theft and a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief.
Authorities say he broke into the federal Public Defender's Office sometime over the second weekend of May 2012. A computer, two monitors and a keyboard were reported missing and were not recovered.
The office is at 201 SW Second St., Suite 102, in Ocala.
The state filed a habitual felony offender notice in the case, which could allow Circuit Judge Brian Lambert to impose a sentence of up to 11 years in prison.
"He damaged the window, he went in and took that property that did not belong to him," Assistant State Attorney Jennifer Bass told the jury in her closing argument. She characterized Gelonese's intent as "willful and malicious."
DNA testing on the blood recovered from the Post-It note matched Gelonese's DNA. He was arrested on Aug. 2 inside the Marion County Jail, where he was being held on a different case.
In laying out the defense's case, Assistant Public Defender Amanda Sizemore raised the question of possible contamination in the handling and processing of Gelonese's DNA.
She also pointed out no fingerprints, eyewitnesses or surveillance footage evidence linked her client to the burglary.
Police did not close off the crime scene before employees arrived. A large rock and piece of landscaping cloth found at the scene that had been thrown through the window, smashing the glass, were not tested for evidence.
Sizemore works for the 5th Judicial Circuit Public Defender's Office; there's no conflict of interest because the victim in this case was the federal public defender.
Gelonese has several prior arrests and convictions, according to court records.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as "any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy". GDM affects up to 15% of pregnant women worldwide, and in India alone an estimated 4 million women have GDM.
Women with GDM are more likely to give birth to macrosomic or large-for-gestational-age infants. GDM may results in obstructed labour, the death of the mother and the baby and birth injury for the infants. GDM also has long-term health impact, with more than 50% of women with GDM going on to develop type 2 diabetes within 5-10 years of delivery. Moreover, infants of women with GDM have a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity, and higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Despite this evidence, GDM remains a neglected maternal health issue among policy makers. Increasing political focus on GDM would improve the health of women, and help accelerate progress toward the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 on maternal health, the MDG which is most off-track from meeting its goal.

Jackson, Miss. Mississippi State University researchers say fewer than half of Mississippi's primary care doctors are taking new Medicaid patients.
The state has fewer primary care doctors per capita than any other state to begin with.
Social science professor Ronald Cossman says researchers posing as new patients called doctors' offices, reaching 580 of the 678 individual and group practice offices in Mississippi.
He says only 47 percent of those identified as core primary care doctors agreed to take new patients insured by Medicaid, while 75 percent agreed to take new patients with private insurance.
Cossman tells The Clarion-Ledger that he expected a difference, but not one that big.
His study was published last month in the Southern Medical Journal, published by the Southern Medical Association.

Despite rising expenses, we ensure that we give the best to our Children. Did you know that you can avail of income tax exemption (benefits) on many expenses and investments made in your childs name?
Interest on education loan: As education has become very expensive, it is essential to plan it out. Most of us may opt to take a loan to fund our child's higher studies. While this results in a repayment burden, one can gain partially, as the interest portion on education loan is fully tax deductible under Section 80E. The loan must be taken for a full-time graduate course.
Payment of tuition fees: Most schools, colleges and universities in India have some fixed amount as tuition fee. The same can be deducted under Section 80C, up to R1 lakh in a year. The amount of deduction is restricted to two dependent children and should pertain only to the actual tuition fee paid. However, both the husband and wife have a separate limit of two children. So, each parent can claim the benefit for up to for two children each.
Health insurance premium: When we take health insurance for our children, the premium paid can be claimed as a deduction, up to R15,000 in a year under Section 80D.
Expenses on treatment of disabilities and certain ailments: A parent can claim deduction from his income for the amount incurred towards treatment of specific disabilities and illnesses of his child under two sections. Section 80DD states that expenses incurred towards medical treatment of dependent children suffering from a disability are eligible for deduction. The limit of deduction under this section is R50,000 for a normal disability (impairment of at least 40%) and R1 lakh for severe disability (impairment of 80% or above). Section 80DDB allows expenses incurred towards treatment of specified illnesses for children to be deducted from income, up to R40,000.
Deduction of allowances: The tax law specifies a host of allowances paid for expenses incurred on children, which are allowed by an employer as a deduction from the income of the employee. The first is a hostel allowance of R300 per month per child, up to a maximum of two children. The next is an education allowance, wherein R100 per month per child up to a maximum of two children is exempted from income. However, these expenses need to be incurred in India.

Hi All,
First let me apologize if this is the wrong forum, I did search and was unable to find anything along these lines.
I had installed Zimbra OSE to test it out and learn more. It worked great for a while. I had maybe 6 or 7 accounts on it, and used the Zimbra Desktop client with IMAP. Unfortunately the computer it was running on kept crashing and eventually corrupted the install. That server is not accessible anymore. I was unable to figure out how to repair, so I simply installed it fresh on my VMWare ESXi box.
What is the best method to move the emails from the client back to the new install of Zimbra OSE? Is there a way for IMAP to use the client as the source? Or would I need to try renaming profiles and dragging and dropping things into newly created profiles?
Any information would be helpful, thanks in advance.

Make and Fly a Rotocopter
Kids can Make and Fly A Rotocopter, they just cut and fold. Add a paper clip and toss it into the air. Watch the rotocopter spin to the ground. This makes an interesting classroom project. Try changing variables. Use a larger paper clip or a heavier piece of paper and see which rotocopter drops the slowest.
Paper (We used scrapbook paper to make it colorful)
Markers to Decorate
Paper Clip
Print pattern. You can make two rotocopters with pattern provided.
Cut out the rotocopters, cutting on all solid lines.
Decorate both sides with markers.
Fold the blades down, one in each direction on the dotted line.
Fold the bottom sides in toward the middle on the dotted lines.
Fold up the bottom on the dotted line.
Attach a paper clip to bottom folded section. This gives the copter weight at the bottom to keep it right side up.

It's gone now, but the buzz about it at City Hall and in political circles still is ongoing.
An e-mail circulated this week — presumably among conservative Republicans — referenced the Wikipedia entry for Cincinnati City Hall, which had been changed to include a lie about Congressman Steve Driehaus, a Democrat, implying he was anti-Christian.
This week's Porkopolis column looks at the Internet critics questioning the military service of State Rep. Connie Pillich (D-Montgomery), a U.S. Air Force veteran.
Some conservative bloggers have wondered whether Pillich earned the ribbons and medals that she wears at some campaign appearances.
Hoping to take advantage of a recent federal court ruling in Kentucky, the Ohio Democratic Party joined a lawsuit filed today that seeks to abolish the restrictions imposed on judicial candidates in Ohio.
The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this month struck down the rules used in Kentucky for electing judges, stating they violated the judicial candidates' First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The rules prohibited candidates from listing their party affiliation on the ballot, or to directly solicit campaign contributions.
As Bernadette Watson decides whether to run for Cincinnati City Council again in 2011, she's keeping busy by helping a former council member get elected to state office.
Watson has been named as campaign manager for Alicia Reece, a Democrat who is seeking to keep the Ohio House 33rd District seat. Reece, an ex-Cincinnati vice mayor, was appointed to the seat in March to replace Tyrone Yates. Yates, who was facing term limits, was appointed to a municipal judgeship.
As Laketa Cole prepares to leave Cincinnati City Council for a state government job, sources say she's settled on Wendell Young as her replacement.
Multiple sources at City Hall and within the Democratic Party are talking about Young's apparent selection and expressing surprise because he has ran unsuccessfully in three City Council elections and finished in 14th place in 2009's balloting for the nine council seats, behind fellow Democrats Greg Harris (10th) and Bernadette Watson (11th).
With just five days left until the primary election, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is touring the state in her converted school bus, "the Courage Express," for some last-minute campaigning in her U.S. Senate bid.
Brunner made local stops at Take the Cake in Northside, Keller's IGA in Clifton and Fountain Square downtown.
The weekly "State of the Nation" poll by Research 2000 found that President Obama is viewed favorably by 56 percent of respondents, compared to 39 percent who hold an unfavorable opinion about him. Five percent had no opinion.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-West Chester) had a whopping 64 percent unfavorable rating, with just 17 percent viewing him favorably. Nineteen percent had no opinion.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) also had a 64 percent unfavorable rating, compared to 20 percent who view him favorably. Sixteen percent had no opinion.
The poll was conducted for The Daily Kos Web site.
A total of 1,200 registered voters nationwide were interviewed by telephone from March 22-25.
The margin of error is 2.8 percent, meaning there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire adult population were sampled.
Boehner and McConnell can take some solace: Democratic Congressional leaders fared poorly too.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had a 54 percent unfavorable rating, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) had a 66 percent unfavorable rating, according to the poll.
Still, Congressional Democrats fare better overall than their Republican counterparts.
Congressional Democrats had a 56 percent unfavorable rating, compared to 40 percent who view them favorably. Four percent had no opinion.
By comparison, Congressional Republicans had a 71 percent unfavorable rating, with 21 percent viewing them favorably. Eight percent had no opinion.
That's an increase of 3 percent who view Democrats favorably from a week earlier, compared to a decrease of 7 percent for Republicans.
Also, the Democratic Party had a 40 percent favorable rating, compared to the Republican Party's 28 percent.
There's still seven months until the general election so anything could happen but, if those numbers persist, it might be time for GOP leaders to scale back their talk of a Republican landslide in Congressional races.

WOW. Someone is maaaad and isn't going to take it anymore. Well, until another someone tells them to delete it. Thank GAWD for the internets.
UPDATE: So it looks like Donald deleted his Twitter account. I'm serious.
UPDATE #2: This keeps getting better. Or worse, depending on which side blah blah blah...
UPDATE #3: Oh. Did I mention Amer Delic was getting in on the action??
UPDATE #4: So here's the apology Donald tweeted right before his account disappeared. I'm hearing some talk over Twitter this morning that his account may be back up but private. His original account is still down so if he is back it's under another name. Weird.

We've devoted a couple Illustrated Guides to the overwhelmingly stupid idea of spending $2000+ on a handbag just for the logo. But don't worry, ladies, we just haven't gotten to the convenient loophole: if you can convince someone else to spend $2000 on a handbag and then give it to you, you are actually a genius. The only trick is you have to fuck 'em first.
Wealthy dudes are everywhere right now: doing BDSM stuff and making spreadsheets. The field is wide open. This week's Guide explains how to land one.

ATLANTA - Last week, 11Alive introduced you to a young girl who has been in need of a bone marrow transplant her entire life.
Now, we're happy to announce that on September 7, 11Alive along with V-103 and students from several local colleges - Spelman, Clark Atlanta and Morehouse -- are sponsoring a bone marrow drive to help 11-year-old Valaria Fenderson find a match.
Valaria has been engaged in a constant battle with sickle cell anemia - a condition in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. One in 12 African Americans carry the trait.
The cure for the condition is a bone marrow transplant.
The sixth grader at Trinity Chapel Academy says she couldn't wait for school to start.
"Because you get to learn more about God," she said.
She has a belief that her dark days and nights of living with the disease will one day come to an end.
"If they find a match for her, she will go on to get a bone marrow transplant," her doctor said. "So, basically, what that means is that we are going to give her chemotherapy to wipe out all of her bone marrow and then replace it with the donor's bone marrow - essentially curing her sickle cell disease."
But until then, Valaria chooses to remain positive - taking part in daily praise and worship at her school.
"Kids come first for us and so we feel like God is saying here is someone that we want you to take care of."
The bone marrow drive will take place September 7, from 10 am to 7:30 pm at the Spelman College Student Center. 11Alive News will be live throughout the day for the event.

VitaMix Home and Commercial Blenders
VitaMix Blenders took the market by storm in 1949 thanks to an infomercial demonstration by William Bernard. VitaMix has continued to improve and augment its line of blenders since that time, today producing home and commercial blenders capable of blending drinks, processing foods (chopping/puréeing), making homemade soups and salsas, and creating nut butters. VitaMix is one of the top sellers in the industry, standing behind its products with a century of experience and a 3-year warranty.
There are no products matching the selection.
Founded in 1937, the VitaMix Corporation has turned its Vita-Mix Blending Machines into household names. Vitamix blenders have a construction quality and versatility that is impressive to behold. Having used them personally here at Everything Kitchens, we believe Vita Mix Blenders, both home or commercial models, are true workhorses. Today's versatile Vita-Mix 5200 Blender is capable of doing the work of 10 different kitchen appliances totaling over 50 different kitchen processes—all without the need for post-sale attachments. Vita-Mix Foodservice Division produces one of the largest-capacity countertop blenders built to date: the Vita-Mix XL.

Some of my favorite discussions during this course focused on urban theory and planning and environmentally and ethically responsible innovations. A few of my favorite personal readings included:
- Good City Form by Kevin Lynch
- Natural Capitalism by Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins, and L. Hunter Lovins
- High Technology and Low-Income Communities by Donald A. Schon, Bish Sanyal, and William J. Mitchell
- Blog: IBM CEO: Making our cities smarter
- Video: Sam Palmisano on Smarter Cities at The Atlantic Council
- Article: Sam Palmisano on Smarter Cities in the Huffington Post
The concrete connection between
While innovations and technologies always fascinate me, personally I'm most interested in the political, socio-cultural aspects of Palmisano's statement below:
"All the ways in which the world works come together in our cities. They are the proverbial melting pot -- not only for immigrants, but for systems, blending them together to engender new forms of commerce, of culture, of science, of life and of society. Which is why cities -- more than states, provinces or even nations -- are likely to be the crucible for human progress and evolution in the coming century."
Smart cities require smart people and deliberate thinking. How will

SANDY SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -- Kennedy finished first at the 1UpHandles Inc. Holiday Tournament on Thursday with a 51-46 win over Sherwood.
Their close victory puts the Cavaliers at 7-2 on the season, with one of their two losses being to Sherwood on December 21.
We caught up with Kennedy head coach Diallo Nelson after the game to talk strategy, defense and how he hopes to lead the Cavaliers to a successful season in one of Montgomery County's most competitive districts.
PHOTOS: Kennedy Tops Sherwood 51-46
USATodayHSS: On December 21, you lost to Sherwood, 52-41. What does that add to today's win?
Nelson: It just means that the kids are learning. I always say basketball is probably played 70 percent above your shoulders. We looked at film, we looked at the mistakes we made and they capitalized on it and they did a good job executing the game plan.
USATodayHSS: What would you say your biggest strengths on offense are?
Nelson: We played tonight with a lot of guys who get some time, but not a lot. And it just showed me that we have depth. In the past we haven't had that much depth ... that's important for us.
USATodayHSS: During the game you said: "Alright let's play." Why is that your reminder to your players during games?
Nelson: We're a team who is more comfortable playing against a man to man. We just play then, we're not thinking about it, we run our offense, we execute it. When teams play a zone, for some reason, they think, "Okay, let's turn into robots. Pass here, run there, do this." No, just play.
USaTodayHSS: What's your goal for this season?
Nelson: We play in the toughest division. We don't have a team in our division right now with a losing record. So I always say okay, let's try to win the division. Let's try to do that. Then after that, let's think about region. Then, after that, hopefully we're good enough, we're mature enough to get to the states.

A few weeks ago my leaves on my irises were lush and green, but not a bud was to be found. Then one little bloom made it's way up in a completely different place in my garden, so I was wondering why I didn't have any blooms on the others! In a panic (OK, I'm being overdramatic–I'll say out of curiosity), I consulted Anne Marie, who gave me some very helpful advice. Then, lo and behold, a couple of rainstorms brought forth the giant purple buds on my beloved irises and they've been blooming ever since.
In any case, I thought I'd share Anne Marie's tips for any readers who were not lucky enough to have blooms this year.
These are probably a type of bearded Iris. They should bloom reliably for you each year unless…
- They have been moved or were divided last year (they take about three years to get back to full bloom again).
- They are now too shaded; they need at least six hours of full sun.
- The soil is too rich or too lean; too much nitrogen fertilizer can cause them to have little or no bloom and lots of foliage.
- They are planted too deep; the rhizome should be peeking through the surface of the soil.
- They are overcrowded; this will cause fewer blooms.
- They have been attacked by an iris borer–look for shriveled or sunken rhizomes where the iris borer has done its damage.
- They are being grown in too soggy of a location; they prefer to be slightly dry.
I definitely need to thin mine this year and will be following the tips in this article to divide them.

SKOWHEGAN, Maine (AP) - A 35-year-old Maine man whose driver's license was permanently revoked following a 1996 drunken-driving crash that killed three people wants his license back.
Bryan Carrier, of Skowhegan, has a hearing before the Governor's Board on Executive Clemency on July 24 seeking to have his driving privileges reinstated so he can drive to Canada to visit his daughter.
Carrier served prison time after pleading guilty to manslaughter for driving his pickup truck through a stop sign in Skowhegan and slamming into a van. A woman and her 10-year-old son in the van and a 15-year-old boy in Carrier's truck were killed.
Family members of the victims tell the Morning Sentinel they will fight to prevent Carrier from getting his license back. Carrier could not be reached for comment.

Let's be honest.
It doesn't matter who is 8th seed in the East. Miami will destroy them. Doesn't matter who the other teams are in the East. Miami will beat them. Injury is their only concern.
In a perfect world every team in the play-offs should have won more games than they lost in the regular season. Happens a lot in the East. But it doesn't mean the team is rotten.
Yes, they would not have made the post season if they were in the West. But that's how it works. I wouldn't support an idea of giving Utah a first round match up against Miami. Utah just should have won more games in during the season.
Coming in and saying that Boston with a winning record ought not to be in the post season is weird. They have a winning record. Strikes me as just stirring people up for no reason.
My question to the original poster. The Lakers made it all the way to the NBA FINALS. Yes the FINALS against Boston in 58/59. Their record 33 and 39. Should they have been allowed to play in the post season.
According to your theory. They shouldn't have. Yet they made the finals. Curious what a team can do if they have a good run in the post season.

For 25 years, Transworld Snowboarding has been driving snowboarding forward with its unique brand of investigatory journalism. Now you can show your appreciation (and try to sneak into events as a member of the press) with the Dakine Mission Transworld 25L Backpack.
Built with super-tough 1200D polyester main body fabric, the Mission won't let you down on the slope when you're snapping pics next to the halfpipe, or are miles deep in the backcountry on a first-descent bid.

The Mission also has a padded laptop compartment for your 15in laptop, so it will be safe if you wind up having to haul it to the comp.
The Mission also includes a fleece-lined sunglasses pocket, a separate fleece-lined goggle pocket, and a convenient organizer pocket. A padded waist belt keeps the weight sitting comfortably on your hips, and an adjustable sternum strap adds stability when the load gets heavy or the wind picks up.
- Padded waist belt
- Adjustable sternum strap
- Large main compartment opening
- Vertical snowboard carry
- Padded laptop sleeve fits up to 15in laptop
- Fleece-lined goggle pocket and sunglasses pocket

Simply a great backpack!

It was finally time to retire the ragged but functional, DAKINE Poacher Backpack that got me through Jr. High, High School, and College. It was a great backpack but I needed something more functional for commuting on my bike. love this backpack because of all its pockets, the padded laptop sleeve, its high durability, and how it keeps the elements from ruining your gear. I especially like the zip up security pocket inside the second big pocket, which gives me peace of mind when I'm storing my keys.

(Washington, DC)—The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe today announced a forthcoming hearing:
Following a controversial 1996 referendum, after which he disbanded the legitimate Supreme Soviet, Belarusian president Alyaksandr Lukashenka has continued to suppress human rights and hinder democratic development.
Meaningful dialogue between the government and opposition has yet to materialize, due to governmental intransigence, complicated by a recently approved electoral code that decreases the likelihood of free and fair parliamentary elections planned for this Fall.
The economic situation in Belarus continues to deteriorate, disaffection with the Lukashenka regime is growing, and the renewed Russia-Belarusian union has serious implications for Belarus' existence as an independent state.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Atlanta Hawks and Josh Smith finally parted ways in
the offseason.
After years of trade rumors and first-round playoff exits, Smith bolted Hot-
lanta for a free-agent contract with the Detroit Pistons. Smith was the
flagship for the Hawks franchise, but now, he's just a footnote in Atlanta
Armed with buckets of cash, general manager Danny Ferry didn't make too big of
a splash in the free-agent market. He inked Paul Millsap, a very underrated
power forward to replace Smith. After that, the Hawks brought in Elton Brand
and DeMarre Carroll to fortify the second unit.
The Dwight Howard/Chris Paul plan Ferry detailed for season ticket holders
never came to fruition.
The biggest change for Atlanta, other than Smith's Detroit departure, was the
hiring of Mike Budenholzer. Ferry opted to not bring back Larry Drew and
instead wrestled Budenholzer from Gregg Popovich's staff in San Antonio.
Budenholzer was Pop's top assistant for years and plucking fruit from the Pop
coaching tree isn't a bad idea. Sadly, Budenholzer let the team down a bit in
the offseason with a DUI arrest.
"I never want to bring any negative attention to our organization or our
players," Budenholzer said. "Having said that, there's a legal process that's
playing out. I think it's important for me to respect that process. I can't
say a whole lot more than that."
With the focus back on basketball, Ferry's and Budenholzer's main goal will be
to substitute Millsap for Smith. The players are bit different, but both
Millsap is more of a big man than Smith, who is something of a swing man.
Millsap and Al Horford, a former All-Star, who is more naturally suited to the
power forward spot and not the center position, should be a pair of fantastic
Ferry elected to keep the rest of the Hawks core intact, to some degree. He
matched a restricted free-agent offer from the Milwaukee Bucks for Jeff
Teague, an emerging point guard, and re-signed sharp-shooter Kyle Korver.
In the draft, Atlanta took Dennis Schroeder, a 20-year-old German point guard,
skinny big man Lucas Nogueira and Bucknell big Mike Muscala. The two centers
will play overseas this season, but Schroeder should serve as Teague's primary
The Hawks have made the playoffs six seasons running. They've advanced three
times, but never made the Eastern Conference Finals. Is it reasonable to
expect such a performance again when the team replaced such a huge piece like
"I think we have to get through the beginning of the year to get a feel from
our group, but we're not just putting together new players. We have an
entirely new coaching staff that is working together," said Ferry. "That being
said, the guys will work hard and compete. And we have smart coaches and
they'll put guys in positions to succeed. I expect us to be competitive."
2012-13 Results: 44-38, 2nd in Southeast; Lost in East quarterfinals to
ADDITIONS: HC Mike Budenholzer, F Paul Millsap, F Elton Brand, C Gustavo Ayon,
F DeMarre Carroll, G Jared Cunningham, G Damien Wilkins, G Dennis Schroeder
PG- Jeff Teague
SG- Lou Williams
SF- Kyle Korver
PF- Paul Millsap
C- Al Horford
KEY RESERVES: F Elton Brand, F DeMarre Carroll, G Dennis Schroeder, G John
Jenkins, G Jared Cunningham, C Gustavo Ayon, F Mike Scott, G Shelvin Mack
FRONTCOURT: Over the last three seasons as a significant contributor, Millsap
has averaged 16.1 ppg and 7.1 rpg. Smith's numbers are slightly better and he
was more well-rounded defensively. But Millsap is a much more natural power
forward than Smith ever was. Smith had a tendency to wander out to the three-
point line. Millsap makes his bones in the paint. Millsap is athletic, just
not Smith athletic.
Horford averaged 17.4 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 1.1 bpg and 1.1 spg last season. He shot
54 percent from the field. That's an awesome season, although his free-throw
percentage sunk to 64 percent. Horford is one of the league's most-skilled big
men, but doesn't get mentioned a lot in that conversation. With Millsap in
town, Horford will get more help on the interior.
Korver was a starter for most of last season and, logically, his scoring
improved. He averaged 10.9 ppg, which was his highest output since the 2006-07
season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Korver's not out there to blow by people.
He's there to shoot three-pointers. He made 45 percent of them last season.
BACKCOURT: Teague signed an offer sheet with the Bucks to reunite with coach
Drew. The Hawks matched and it was a solid decision. Last season, Teague
improved to 14.6 ppg, 7.2 apg and 1.5 spg. He's a sensational free-throw
shooter and average three-point shooter.
Williams is coming back after an ACL tear in January. His timetable for return
is unknown, other than Ferry and Budenholzer both noting they will let him
take his time, an idea Williams doesn't seem interested in following.
"Every time they tell me to work out with a basketball I work out as if I
wasn't hurt, like I normally would if I wasn't hurt," Williams said at Media
Day. "So I don't think my issue is really going to be mental, it will be more
what can I endure physically."
BENCH: Brand is a veteran hand who is more than capable of being the big man
off the bench. That's where his career is at the moment.
The rest of the second unit is virtually untested, with the exception of
Carroll, who showed some flashes with the Utah Jazz and was worth a look.
COACHING: Anyone that comes from Popovich's regime should get a worthwhile
look as a head coach. Budenholzer spent 17 years as an assistant in San
Antonio. He turned down several head coaching opportunities over the years to
stay with the Spurs.
The DUI arrest was a horrible first impression for Budenholzer, but he was mum
on the subject.
After waiting this long for the top gig, Budenholzer has some time to make his
mark. Ferry targeted him from the beginning and while Atlanta isn't in a total
rebuild, the expectations should be fairly low for Budenholzer in his first
OUTLOOK: Yes, expectations are low for the Hawks. They are nowhere near the
Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks or Brooklyn Nets in
the Eastern Conference.
But, Atlanta leads the pack in the next wave. Losing Smith was a blow, but he
could wear on coaches and teammates. Replacing him with Millsap should be
relatively seamless as Millsap is not a boat-rocker.
The Hawks should extend their consecutive playoff appearance streak to seven.
Making the second round would be a shock, but Atlanta is an above .500 team.
It's starting five is very strong and very tough and Budenholzer will be fine
in the lead chair.

Dancing With the Stars 2013: Bachelor Sean Lowe on Season 16?
Is Bachelor stud Sean Lowe joining Dancing With the Stars 2013? We hope so!
The Bachelor spoiler king Reality Steve checked out an US Weekly report hitting stands today, saying "a deal hasn't been finalized, but it's likely" that current Bachelor Sean Lowe will be announced as a cast member when the 12 DWTS couples are revealed Tuesday, February 26 on Good Morning America.
If you remember, Emily Maynard was the first person said to be "confirmed" for Season 16, then that rumor had to be challenged because no one is actually confirmed ahead of time, especially not in early December when the show premieres on March 18. As Steve notes, DWTS wouldn't cast both a Bachelor and last year's Bachelorette at the same time, and since Sean is more high profile right now — and his season will be ending right as DWTS begins — he'd be the bigger draw.
They cast Jake Pavelka on DWTS Season 10, right after his Bachelor season ended. Remember Vienna Girardi watching him from the audience? Plus, Bachelor Nation is hot on DWTS right now 'cause the reigning champion is Bachelor 13 alum Melissa Rycroft. She won the fall 2012 All-Stars season. So it would make sense for them to want to tap into that same existing audience — plus, Sean loves to take his shirt off and that would work well with DWTS.
On top of that, Life & Style just confirmed that Sean is engaged, claiming he and his Chosen One are "planning to get married before the end of the summer." If that's true, that's a quickie wedding! They could be using ABC as a tie-in, so that might work with DWTS. (Plus, all DWTS competitors are paid six-figure salaries, which could help them in their new lives together.) However, you could see a summer wedding as a sign that Sean won't do DWTS, 'cause won't he be busy? And not all DWTS rumors about The Bachelor franchise pan out. There was a time when we thought both Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky and her then-fiance Roberto Martinez might be dancing on the same season, but neither one has been cast. So who knows.
What do you think? Do you want Sean on DWTS? What about Emily? Which would be your preference? Or are you on Team Neither?
