How Not to Get Out of Jury Duty
Extreme racism doesn't get you out of jury duty.
In case you were thinking of trying unabashed racism as your get-out-of-jury-duty card, don't. In a questionnaire to select jurors for the death-penalty trial of Bonanno crime boss Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano, juror No. 799 decided to disparage minority groups and then the cops, in what we hope was an attempt to get dismissed. The potential juror, an Asian woman in her twenties who works in the garment industry, wrote in that the three people she least admired were "African-Americans, Hispanics and Haitians," later telling the judge, "You always hear about them in the news doing something." When the judge saw that she had a relative in the Chinese Ghost Shadows gang in prison for murder, he quipped, "Why didn't you put 'Asians' down also?" She responded, "Maybe I should have." "This is an outrage, and so are you!" said Judge Nicholas Garaufis, who denied prosecutors requests for dismissal and sentenced her to jury duty instead "She's coming back [today], Thursday, and Friday — and until the future, when I am ready to dismiss her." Judge Garaufis, 1. Defendants with this woman on the jury, 0.

Former Kent State Golden Flash and current defensive back for the Cleveland Browns, Abram Elam, will use his T.E.A.M. Elam Foundation to take 15 Cleveland-area children on a personal shopping experience at the Tower City Center Mall in Cleveland, Ohio on Friday, September 3.
Each of the children, aged 11 to 17, will be given $200 to spend on back to school attire. The children are required to purchase at least one pair of shoes and two outfits. They are also responsible for keeping a record of their purchases including any discounts they received. One of the key components of the shopping experience is for each of the students to learn the importance of budgeting and how to make a dollar go further.
The students who will participate in this year's event were chosen from The Children Who Witness Violence (CWWV) program which is a Cleveland-based organization that is overseen by the Cuyahoga County Board of Commissioners and is intended to address the impact of domestic and other violence has on children and families. Elam selected this organization because it serves children whose experience mirrors his childhood as he lost three siblings to violence.
About T.E.A.M. Elam Foundation
Elam founded T.E.A.M. Elam in June 2008 to help combat violence and negative influences around youth. As a result T.E.A.M. Elam introduces young people to an array of positive influences, who may leave a lasting impression on a child's life. The goal of the organization is to equip young people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to succeed in life. An additional goal of T.E.A.M. Elam is to influence everyone to do his or her own part to protect our environment. For more information about the T.E.A.M. Elam Foundation please visit, www.TeamElam.org.

forgive me if this is old news...
Several DVD editions of the Star Wars classic trilogy HAVE been released (in countries outside the US) but (as far as I know) none of them have been OFFICIALLY liscensed through Lucasfilm, and so, for all intents and purposes, would be considered "bootlegs."
Several places (including Amazon.com) ADVERTISE or list that they have the SW trilogy DVD's, but this is just wishful thinking, and a placeholder until they are finally released (read the fine print and you'll see). You might be able to "pre-order" them, but you may have a long wait, if GL keeps to his word (releasing all the films as a boxed set after Episode III is released).
Basically, the best experience you can get with the original films (SE or none) is through the Laser Disc versions which are perfectly legit, and have been released with just about every VHS version since they came out (LD's are dead in the states, but in places like Japan they are still being released...).
Now there ARE vcd (video-cd) versions of the films, which I believe are 100% legit, but again, not released in the US, but other countries where those mediums are more popular with consumers. As an added bonus, some DVD players CAN play VCD's as well, and most PC's can quite easily.
One good way to find these other versions of the films is through places like ebay,
but you take your own chances there.
When the DVD versions do come out in the states, for real, I hope they include the original versions of the films, and not just the SE or super SE (if GL plans to add in the Prequel stuff, further updating his old films).
Barring that, another nice way to get cool captures is to use a TV card (check pricewatch, a good one can run $75 or less) and run it in combination with your LD player or TV/VCR with the flicks.
Btw, great to see this thread is still going strong. Love the new pics!

The Lancaster library is bringing forth a "Wild Summer Celebration" on Thursday, July 31, 2014 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The celebration is a way of saying goodbye to the end of summer for most children, as they start school in the coming weeks. In addition, the City of Lancaster is a well-known city that continues to cater to the needs of their community and here is just another example. In order to be amongst the merrymaking celebration, do visit the Lancaster library and there is where all the fun will begin. The celebration is for girls and boys ages 3 to 12 years old, according to the Lancaster library.
Activities to Enjoy
Animal Bingo, a game of calling out numbers, letters and placing chips on a Bingo Card in various ways which could lead to winning a game. It is a fact that the game Bingo can be traced back to a lottery game called "Giuoco del Lotto d'ltalia" played in Italy in c. 1530, according to Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
Frog Toss, a game of tossing an object to a particular area.
Spinning Art, according to Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia; Spin Art is an art form that primarily uses paint, a canvas and a spinning platform.
So what can Stay-at-Home mothers do this Thursday? If moms have children within the age range for the festivity, they may pack up the vehicle with their family and head for the excitement. What if teens are in the family? The Lancaster library has a neat little Teen Room where one can sit quietly to read, study (yes even in summer) and with a library card have access to the many computers, except for the computers that are strictly for the little people. Here is one more suggestion for teens; if they are really responsible and trustworthy, moms may allow them to walk along The Blvd with a cool drink or frozen yogurt. Oh and mothers are not to be forgotten, while the younger children are celebrating and the teens are enjoying themselves responsibly, moms may grab some books or magazines and sit near watching the fun and enjoying herself as well.

Meet Donnie, a man that probably doesn't have a jaw-dropping backhand, but did take it upon himself to hit the streets of Shanghai in hopes of impersonating Roger Federer.
It's worth pointing out that Donnie doesn't really look like Federer, talk like him or even have the flowing locks like him. If you watch the video below, you'll see he even signs all the "autographs" with his left hand, not really what I'd expect from the right-handed Federer.
But Donnie's experiment was simple; he wanted to see if people would think he was Roger simply by throwing on some Nike gear and hiring a few bodyguards to follow him around. Notice him they did, and the droves of fans flocked to get a picture with fake Roger, get his autograph and even have him pose with their baby.
I do feel a bit bad for some of the people that got actual stuff signed by this man, but the idea was all in good fun and reminds us that the mind sees what the mind wants.

Extra, 4-1: Wise Moves
O'Connor, Replacing Rockwell at Times, Names Acocella Deputy; Gia
ousts Jowitt; Croce Returns to New Yorker to not Review Dance
By Fou-Fou d'Avril
Special Correspondent
NEW YORK -- In a flurry
of stunning developments more akin to Spring Training wheeling and
dealing than the often immovable circle of dance critics, the New
York Times Friday replaced chief dance critic John Rockwell with
chief dance critic critic Tere O'Connor, who immediately hired Joan
Acocella as his deputy, reportedly greeting her with "Joan, you
ignorant slut" before sentencing -- er, assigning her to watch his
rehearsals for a year before putting another pen to paper. Ousted
Times writer Gia "Heathers" Kourlas immediately convinced
Village Voice editor Donald Forced to hire her to replace Deboarah
Jowitt, promising to concentrate ''less on dance criticism, and
more on dance gossip," which apparently pleased the Voice editor
as better conforming with the weekly's current trend. "Deborah's
too earnest anyway," said Forced. For his part, Times publisher
Arthur "Punchy" Sulzberger named Rockwell special correspondent
for Eurotrash, explaining, "American dance is too earnest for John
anyway." At the now Acocella-less New Yorker, editor David Remnant
called eminent critic Arlene Croce out of retirement for one assignment,
"Why I won't review Dance," which, Remnant pointed out, would eliminate
the need for any future dance criticism at the New Yorker. "Choreographers
don't appreciate good reviews anyway, so why should we bother?"
Remnant commented early Saturday morning, not without reason, before
darting out the door for the magazine's annual April Fool's party.

When you hear the word "Walkman" you probably envision an 80s and 90s-era cassette player with AM/FM stereo and headphones. It's a far cry from Sony's Walkman B170 line which features small (only 28g or 1oz) colorful, and sound-rich MP3 players bearing the Walkman logo. Read More
Astronomers using data from NASA's Kepler mission have discovered the tiniest solar system found so far. The system consists of a single red dwarf star, known as KOI-961 and three planets which are 0.78, 0.73 and 0.57 times the radius of Earth. The planets are thought to be rocky - like Earth - but orbit much closer to their star making them too hot to be habitable.Read More
Insurgents are commonly taught to aim just below a soldier's body armor, which is where the abdominal area meets the legs. When a bullet hits this area it causes massive internal bleeding which often proves fatal in a matter of minutes. Two physicians specializing in emergency medicine have now developed a tool designed to treat rapid lethal war injuries. The device, which is known as the abdominal aortic tourniquet effectively slows bleeding and gives much needed time to stop the flow of blood which could save a soldier's life. Read More
We've all experienced that moment of panic when we open the back door to let the dog inside only to find that he's not there.

Wind-power has rapidly evolved over the last decade to become a key part of the alternative energy mix with towering rows of turbines now dotting horizons all over the globe. One of the drawbacks to the conventional windmill approach is that they are still low to the ground, so why not go to where the winds are stronger and more consistent - up. Like the Magenn Air Rotor System, KiteGen technology is aiming to do just that. The system generates energy by guiding tethered kites over a predefined flight path in order to rotate a ground based turbine and, while only in the testing and planning phases, it looks to be a promising solution.Read More

Ants. What a pest. Once you get them in your house it can be a real mission to get rid of them. But it seems the Golden orb web spider has developed a way to keep its home clear of the little buggers. The secret uncovered by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Melbourne relates to a chemical compound the spider adds to its web that appears to repel ants. So not only are spider webs providing inspiration for better adhesives and stronger materials, they may also provide the basis for new, environmentally friendly, ant-repelling pesticides.Read More
A perfect vacuum is impossible to achieve, at least in theory. As anyone with any interest in quantum physics would know, the vacuum is full of various particles that fluctuate in and out of existence. These "virtual" particles have been the focus of scientist, Christopher Wilson. Working with his team at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, Wilson has succeeded in producing real photons from these virtual photons. Which, in layman's terms, means that they have created measurable light ... from nothing.Read More

Let $f: X\times_S Y \to X$ be the projection morphism in the definition of fiber product.$ U\subset X\times_S Y$ be an open set. Does $f(U)$ contain a non-empty open set of $X$? I know this can be reduced to the affine case.
If it is not true in general, can we save it by adding extra condition such as :$X,Y$ are noetherian, integral, etc.?
The problem comes from the attempt to prove: when $X$ is a noetherian integral separated scheme which is regular in codimension one, then $X\times_{\operatorname{Spec}\mathbb{Z}}\operatorname{Spec}(\mathbb{Z}[t])$ is also integral.

In the age of Youtube, my friends and I spend a healthy amount of time exchanging videos: from the most ridiculous viral ones, the cuddliest goldendoodle ones, to the most thought-provoking, artistic videos we can get our hands on. The video that has most recently piqued my interest is from an artist named El Guincho, called Bombay (NSFW) from his album Pop Negro. The video is by far the most fantastical, bizarre mix of oddities that five minutes can hold & definitely worth a view if you enjoy being slightly bewildered, yet intrigued.
The album is no different, inspired by Pablo Díaz-Reixa's (El Guincho's real name) love for the hits of the '70's, '80's , and '90s; the songs mix a cacophony of African instruments, hi-fi aesthetics, El Guincho's dreamy Spanish musings, and just the right amount of off-beat pop to keep you wanting more. It has the familiarity of popular music's past with just the right amount of unconventional. No doubt about it, this album is Summa-time music, a very fitting pick for this lovely June.
Check out the album here ,check out my inspiration board below, and more inspiration to follow on our Pinterest page!
As your resident DJ, I'd recommend blasting these tunes after you and your girls have ditched your local haunt as a result of a major-mojito-overdose and have decided to take it back to your place (or your friend's place if you're a neat freak like me)! I could also see this album lending well to a road trip quest to find the perfect watering hole. Whilst in the car, have the windows down, sunnies on, and sing at the top of your lungs for each passerby to hear. The feel of this album is "reckless abandon", so act accordingly!
As far as my favorites on this album, I'd advise having Bombay (obvi), FM Tan Sexy, & Ghetto Facil on repeat. And if you don't speak Spanish, don't fret! I've found that listening to tunes from other realms that you don't quite comprehend can lead to losing yourself in the moment as opposed to memorizing every word. WARNING: this may cause a bit of wanderlust. :)

Beyond an Outright Gift: Other Ways to Give Real Estate
Copyright © The Stelter Company, All rights reserved. The information on this website is not intended as legal or tax advice. For legal or tax advice, please consult an attorney. Figures cited in examples are for hypothetical purposes only and are subject to change. References to estate and income taxes apply to federal taxes only. State income/estate taxes or state law may impact your results.
You may want to explore alternatives to an outright gift of real estate, such as a "bargain sale," a retained life estate, creating a charitable remainder trust or giving through your will.
Make Us a Deal
A bargain sale occurs when you sell real estate that you've owned for more than one year to us for less than its current fair market value, subject to our agreement. After we purchase your property, three things happen: 1) You receive a cash payment from us for the sale price, 2) you receive a charitable deduction for the difference between the sale price and the higher fair market value, and 3) we receive the property at a bargain price. You benefit financially, and so do we.
Give Your Home But Live There for Life
Many of our supporters can't imagine living anywhere else but their current homes. Many would also love to make a major gift to California State University, Los Angeles but don't have the means to make such a gift today. If this sounds like you, you may want to consider a charitable giving arrangement called a retained life estate.
With a retained life estate, you deed a personal residence or farm to California State University, Los Angeles now. You retain the right to occupy the home for life and continue to pay real estate taxes, maintenance fees and insurance on the property. In addition, you can later decide to rent your home or make improvements to it. After your lifetime—and the lifetime of your spouse or another person you choose to retain rights to live in the home—we take possession of the property.
With a retained life estate, you can benefit in these ways:
Calculate your possible benefits for arranging a retained life estate with us.
Receive Income for the Rest of Your Life
Another approach to donating real estate is to use your property to fund what's known as a flip charitable remainder trust. Such a trust can be set up to make lifetime payments to you or any other recipient you name starting after the property is sold. At your death, your charity of choice receives the remainder in the trust.
When you donate property to a charitable remainder trust, you can benefit in these ways:
Calculate how a charitable remainder trust could benefit you.
Include Us in Your Will or Trust
You can also make a gift of real estate in your will or living trust. Because a gift in your will or trust is revocable (that is, you can change it at any time during your life), you will not be able to take an income tax deduction during your lifetime, but the property is eligible for a charitable estate tax deduction upon your death. Another option is to bequeath full title to an individual as long as that person survives you. If not, Cal State L.A. would receive the property.
If you don't need to make a new will or trust now for any reason, ask your attorney to draw a brief codicil or trust amendment for this purpose.
The official legal bequest language for California State University, Los Angeles is: "I, [name], of [city, state, ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to California State University, Los Angeles [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its [unrestricted use and purpose, or designated purpose]."

Alqueva is Portugal's New Lake Resort
Tuesday, 20 November 2007 22:12Portugal's new Alqueva Lake, located in the southern region, is attracting many tourism development projects. Known as The Grande Lago, it is the biggest artificial lake in Europe, at 250 kilometers wide (155.34 miles) and 83 kilometers (51.57 miles) long. The Portuguese Government set up large areas around the lake as nature reserves (Reserve Ecological National). At the same time the area has been declared the 5th Tourist Region of National Interest. More than 120 tourism projects have been presented in the Alqueva Region and 30 projects have been approved. The most ambitious project is "Alqueva Parque," the development for the tourism of Campinho, a peninsula at the lake, with a total investment of one billion euros. Apart of the Alqueva Parque, big companies like Sonae, Pestana, Banco Espírito Santo and Amorim have already started projects around the lake. Gescruzeiros is the only operator on the newly formed on the Alqueva Lake with a boat that accommodates 25 to 120 passengers. From the Amieira Marina, one can cruise swim, fish, scuba dive and relax. Visitors can choose to moor on an islet or visit the surrounding villages the village of Luz, in the past swallowed up and then identically rebuilt on the bank of the Grande Lago. Visitors can also see the Alqueva dam, an amazing piece of work inaugurated in 2002. The nearby international Airport of Beja (formerly a very large military airbase) will be reconstructed in 2007 and opened in 2008. The airport will low-cost and charter connections from the Alqueva Lake to the major destinations of Southwest and South Central Portugal. www.gescruzeiros.com

|It must be admitted that nobody seems to know where the Kohlrabi comes from and how it got to be the way it is today. It has been called "the mongrel of the vegetable kingdom" because it is like a "turnip growing on a cabbage root.
Though kohlrabi grows equally well in hot or cold weather, for best results it should be grown in the cool days of spring or fall. The species is naturally a cool-weather plant which matures rapidly within 12 weeks. It will grow well at high altitudes, provided it has a growing period of at least 80 days.
Green manure previously turned under gives good results. Compost, barnyard manures and old mulches are also very satisfactory.
|Make sure the soil is not too acid. Lime, in the form of fine-ground limestone, should be added when the pH falls below 5.5.
Planting KohlrabiBecause kohlrabi is a very hardy and fast-growing vegetable, three sowings can be made in temperate zonesin April, toward the end of May and in early July. Plants can also be started in the house or cold frame and later transplanted, but better results will be obtained if the seeds are sown directly into the garden.
Planting the seedMake a shallow furrow and drop about ten seeds to one foot of row, or about 1/8 ounce of seed to 100 feet. Cover the seed with almost an inch of soil. Firm with your foot and mark the row, which should be 15 to 18 inches apart from its neighbor.
Thinning out the plantsWhen thinned, the plants should stand about four inches apart. The culls can be transplanted in another section of the garden, thus extending your harvest season. The shock of transplanting retards the growth process and the thinned-out plants come to maturity later than the original stand of kohlrabi.
Rapid growth is a must.Slow-growing plants are tough and the flesh is strong. Kohlrabi should grow in soil that is always moderately moist. Shallow cultivation is also important because the young roots spread out just under the soil surface. Until the plants are tall enough for mulching, just scrape between the rows with a sharp hoe.
Booster feedingIf you want to give the plants a booster feeding, side-dress them with an organic fertilizer after they have been thinned. Loosen the soil between the plants and in the rows before putting on a thick mulch, making sure to keep the cultivation shallow.
Harvesting KohlrabiHarvest the plants while they are young and tender, about 80 days after sowing.
Kohlrabi tastes best when the bulb is small and tender. A moist soil that is rich in humus and weed-free will encourage rapid growth of kohlrabi and make for tender, mild-flavored stems.
If they're growing faster than you can use them, harvest the bulbs and store them in a cool basement. Or bury them deep in the soil and cover them with straw or hay. They will keep crisp and fresh well into the winter.
It's a good practice to keep the ground working and improving after you have gathered kohlrabi. Plant snap beans and turn them under when they begin to form pods. They will release plenty of nitrogen right into the soil as they decay.
Kohlrabi preparationKohlrabi should always be cooked in its skin to preserve flavor. The sliced root may be simmered and the bulb steamed or boiled for winter meals. Kohlrabi can also be eaten raw or sliced into midsummer salads.
Varieties:Early White Vienna is a good variety for freezing. Early Purple Vienna is a popular type known for its tenderness.

Nintendo has provided us with the following statement, largely reiterating what's been suggested in Nintendo Japan's tweets.
Nintendo has been permitting the use of Nintendo copyrighted material in videos on YouTube under appropriate circumstances. Advertisements may accompany those videos, and in keeping with previous policy that revenue is shared between YouTube and Nintendo. In addition, for those who wish to use the material more proactively, we are preparing an affiliate program in which a portion of the advertising profit is given to the creator. Details about this affiliate program will be announced in the future.
Original Article:
As you may recall, YouTube was at the core of some controversy throughout 2013. A change to the Content ID system late in the year (December) led to a flurry of claims and various channels seeing their revenues put on hold as blocks mounted up; it was a logistical problem for channels as even frivolous claims could halt income. Nintendo, more directly, reportedly started aggressively claiming ad revenues on videos earlier in 2013, with a negative backlash seemingly prompting the company to ease off in claiming Let's Play funds, for example.
Such was the reaction last May / June that Nintendo's been largely staying away from Content ID claims — in other words seeking the revenues from videos showing content from its games; in the most recent controversy at the end of the year companies such as the big N and Sony notably steered clear of joining in the aggressive claims. It seems the company has been considering how to monetise videos featuring its content, however, with its official Twitter account in Japan stating that it's preparing an 'affiliate' program for YouTube.
【YouTube映像に関するお知らせ】任天堂は以前より、不適切なものを除いて、YouTube上の任天堂の著作物を含む映像を正式に許諾しています。許諾した映像には広告がつくことがあり、その広告収益は従来のポリシー同様、Googleと任天堂で分配されます。(1/2)— 任天堂株式会社 (@Nintendo) May 27, 2014
【YouTube映像に関するお知らせ】その上で、より積極的な任天堂著作物の利用を希望される方に向けて、広告収益の一部を受け取れるアフィリエイトプログラムを準備しています。アフィリエイトプログラムの詳細については、後日続報いたします。ご理解の程、よろしくお願いいたします。(2/2)— 任天堂株式会社 (@Nintendo) May 27, 2014
Translated, these tweets explain that the company has already begun the process of tagging videos showing Nintendo content to display the company's adverts. Of greater importance, however, is that Nintendo is planning an affiliate program in which content producers can have permission to use Nintendo game footage, with ad revenue then distributed by Nintendo and Google to the content channel. Details on how this will work will be forthcoming, with wording suggesting there may be multiple tiers in the royalty agreements.
We'll need to wait for full details to be officially unveiled; this seems like an attempt for Nintendo to make advertising revenue from YouTube content showing its games — which prompted the controversy last summer — but with a formal agreement in place and some revenue still going to the content creator. It may still prompt a backlash, if Nintendo seeks to make money from what some may consider free advertising on YouTube, and could still deter some popular channels from covering Nintendo games if they can produce other content where all ad revenue is retained. It's also unclear whether such a program will be utilised wholesale across videos uploaded from Mario Kart TV in Mario Kart 8, for example.
We'll see how this develops in the coming days and weeks.

why would I buy a bra at JCPenny? oO well it is cheap though... ^^
@nangiggles: Wait did you just ask why you buy clothing at one of the oldest clothing stores in America? Is this some sort of weird joke?
@jro2020: maybe she doesn't have any boobies? lol
@gretchena: It could also be the radiation from her cell phone scrambling something somewhere.
Somebody actually down-voted! That person must buy hers/his at thrift shops or only buys diamond trimmed bras.
On second inspection the only bras that fit my wife in the style she likes are still about 33% more than she pays for them when they go on sale at layne bryant.
i'd like to see this deal be taken off...should i tattle?
@nangiggles: because jc penny carries sucky clothes...
Online only? :(
Do they all have to be the same style?
I don't know why people are ragging on Penney's. Sure, they're not the hippest store but I have found some great buys on sale there, including kids' clothes and the kitchen section. This particular sale includes all the major name brands.
JCP does have a great lingerie department, it's just the clothing departments that are less than desirable.
Can't rag on Penny's. JCP.com is the only place I can find pants long enough for my 36" inseam and J-Lo butt. :)
@pinchecat: downvotes should not be granted to those who lack wit
Women's bras half off...I'd like to see that.
I have no problem with their store, in fact I like JCPenny and have shopped there, it's their bra selection that annoys me, why pay $16+ for their meh bras if I can get something for the same price in VS or Fredericks? Hell I can even go to Ross or Marshallls and get a better bra...

Bear with me here - very new when it comes to Lync :)
We have a very simple installation up and running right now, with only Lync software clients installed. I've now been requested to install two Polycom CX3000 conference phones.
It looks like these requires a phone number to work correctly, so we're going to order a small SIP trunk for Lync plus two voice CAL's so that these two devices can make outbound/inbound calls outside the Lync organization. That should be nice and simple to set up.
The question however is how intra-traffic is going to be handled between regular Lync users with the Lync client and the conference phones. Will they accept "Lync calls" as Microsoft calls them - as in calls without any telephone numbers? Can you mix attendants in a call where some are via enterprise voice, and others are via regular lync calls?

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A nearly 2-year-old Orlando girl has been reunited with her family after she was found wandering the streets alone.
Authorities struggled to find information about the toddler Tuesday. She did not say her name and could only say "yes" and "no."
A spokeswoman for the Department of Children and Families says the toddler lives with her adult sister. The sister went to work and left the child with a babysitter who fell asleep after working an overnight shift. The babysitter woke up, went looking for the toddler and discovered fliers about the missing girl.
DCF officials say the girl had no visible signs of abuse.
The agency reunited the girl with her family and is working on getting them additional door locks and affordable child care. Orlando Police are investigating.

Lester Young: Ad Lib Blues
Ad Lib Blues
Lester Young (tenor sax)
Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve 9884048)
Lester Young (tenor sax), Oscar Peterson (piano), Barney Kessel (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), J.C. Heard (drums).
Recorded: New York, November 28, 1952
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
This 1952 session will undoubtedly quiet anyone who criticizes Lester Young's postwar career. Inspired by Oscar Peterson's hard-swinging combo, Young sounds as brilliant and confident as ever. His tone is focused and deliciously sweet. His lines wind gracefully around the beat and are presented with expert clarity and logic. Young avoids many of the clichés that characterized his later period, instead stringing together longer, flowing phrases that recall his days in Count Basie's band. He really digs in during his second solo, building intensity through motivic development and riffing, though never sacrificing the melodic beauty inherent in his playing. A true gem in the Lester Young discography.

Clearwater Police Chief Anthony Holloway chosen to lead St. Petersburg Police department
The St. Petersburg Police department has a new leader.
On Tuesday, Mayor Rick Kriseman announced his decision to have Clearwater Police Chief Anthony Holloway lead the city's department.
"I am pleased have Chief Holloway leading the St. Petersburg Police Department," Kriseman said.
The city has been searching for a new chief since former chief Chuck Harmon retired in January.
"Each finalist had their strengths, but ultimately none fit the criteria to successfully meet the needs of our department and our community," Krisman said. "This process brought me clarity and led me to realize what we needed most: someone familiar with us, but not of us. That someone is Chief Anthony Holloway."
During Tuesoday's announcement, Kriseman was joined by Interim Chief Dave DeKay, incoming Chief Anthony Holloway, and Council of Neighborhood Associations President Lisa Wheeler-Brown.
"I am looking forward to working with the outstanding men and women of the St. Petersburg Police Department," Holloway said in a statement. "My pledge to this community is to establish a good working relationship with citizens and community leaders from south St. Pete to Tyrone to Gandy, and everywhere in between."
The transition to the new Chief will begin immediately.

Over at A Little Claireification, this dresser was the first piece of furniture Claire purchased after she graduated from college. It was in her bedroom until she and her husband could afford a bedroom set, then went to live in her oldest son's room and has been there ever since.
Now that her son has gone off to college, Claire decided it was time to turn his old room into a crafting space…with a futon for his visits home. She decided to give the dresser a facelift since it was going to stay in the room. After priming the dresser with chalk paint, Claire simply gave the whole thing several coats of spray paint. She used white for the body and a pretty blue for the drawers. New glass knobs complete the update. Doesn't it look perfect for a craft room?

An innocent face, a trusty glove and a front-row seat wasn't enough for one young boy wearing a Boston Red Sox T-shirt and cap Saturday. To ensure that he would come away with a souvenir baseball while sitting behind the New York Yankees dugout at Fenway Park, the lad resorted to deceit and trickeration.
Yankees coach Rob Thomson fell for it, too.
Hiroki Kuroda delivered a pitch in the bottom of the third inning, and Boston's Jose Iglesias pulled it foul into New York's dugout. Finding a Yankees cap somewhere, the boy placed it on his head — over his Red Sox cap, so it wouldn't touch his growing scalp and possibly transmit A-Rod cooties — and obscured his true allegiance. Thomson turned, nodded fraternally at the "Yankees fan" and rolled the ball to the boy over the top of the dugout.
[Also: Red Sox, Dustin Pedroia talk extension]
All based on a lie.
After making off with the loot, the kid pulled the Yankees cap off his head — ick — and whipped it against the dugout. An odor?
Do you see what kind of influence news of PED use have had in baseball? Even pre-adolescent fans are cheating in order to get souvenirs!

Has anybody checked out the forecast for the next six days? I think the rain may have found another city to pour on, at least for the near future. But, then again, this is Ohio weather we are talking about.
That means it is time to plant those vegetable gardens! It's time to start prepping the ground, buying your vegetable starters, or for you green thumb extraordinaires, moving your seedling starters from your indoor green house.
Don't forget your herbs for seasoning and drying for all your favorite recipes! I've always planted basil because I cook with it just about every day. Oh, and don't forget that you can use it to make pesto too!
Parsley is another great herb I grow, which I pick fresh for certain recipes and also dry in the fall. The other herb that I grow is dill. I home-can dill picklel and having my own fresh dill is awesome!
Once you are done planting your herb garden, you have the flower garden to consider. You need to go to your favorite nurseryand pick up your flowers and perennialsfor your annual landscaping projects.
Hanging baskets and window planters really liven up the patio and/or front porch with bursts of color. Remember your favorite flowers of the season, such as Petunias; they come in bright colors pink, purple, orange, and lilac outlined in white. These particular flowers look like someone took a white marker and outlined each bloom. Petunias are one of those flowers that is enjoyed all summer long.
You can also plant Geraniums; you can't kill these beauties if you tried. They're easy to grow and the red ones are just about my favorite. Those big bursts of fire engine red are just about as beautiful as it gets.
So, let's go over our checklist: six days of warm weather, plantinga vegetable garden and planting the flowers. Oh, I almost forgot--you need to sit on the porch, sip on some lemonade or whatever your beverage of choice may be, relax, and enjoy this gorgeous weather!
Until next time...

This is a beautiful cocktail/bridesmaid dress. Purchased for a wedding – worn once for a couple hours. Professionally dry cleaned.
When I tried this dress on at the Bridal store, three brides saw it on me and chose it for their bridesmaids. It's an eye-catching dress. Tag size 4, but altered to reduce puffy bottom half (the original dress has a LOT of extra fabric on the bottom half). Pockets removed, top half taken in about half an inch, and dress is much more sleek.
The dress now fits a size 2 perfectly.

As if Smartphones, smart books, low cost under powered notebook PCs or whatever Microsoft wants to call netbooks now I think that we have gone overboard on Mobile Internet Devices.
We now have an excessive amount of ways to keep connected. But that is not enough for many and not enough for Intel who announced five more MID devices based on the Moorestown.
the devices ranged from a traditional 3G Smartphone through to navigation and entertainment products.
Read more here.
I'm sitting outside the event Entrance. There's a huge rush from the camera people and the doors are open. We've got the press release and it looks like my predictions are correct. We should see 5 Moorestown devices today

A single movie hasn't managed to bring down a studio since "Heaven's Gate" demolished United Artists back in 1980. "Sex Tape" probably won't singlehandedly bring down Sony Pictures, but it could incite a shareholders' revolt. Someone thought it was a good idea to spend millions making this movie, which is ill-conceived and poorly executed.
Amazingly unfunny, this tortured comedy about a suburban couple who try to spice up their flagging sex life by making drunken sex video and then suffer a major psychotic episode when the video is accidentally synced to dozens of iPads, feels easily twice as long as its modest 90 minute running time. The couple, played by a chemistry-challenged Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz, actually think they're going to solve their problem by stealing back all the iPads, which is about as sensible as trying to steal every copy of the morning paper that's running your mug shot.
Yes, you're supposed to identify with them. No, you won't want to.
Needless to say, the title's a misnomer - as any middle school student knows, no tape is involved unless you're using your eighties camcorder. Perhaps that helps explain why the main characters are so hopelessly inept with technology. It is symptomatic of what passes for logic as the two main characters embark on a one-night odyssey to retrieve all the iPads that have the video. This eventually leads them to the palatial home of Rob Lowe, as the president of a company that might be hiring Diaz's stay-at-home blogger. At this point, screenwriters Kate Angelo ("The Back-up Plan," TV's "Becker," "The Bernie Mac Show," "Will & Grace"), Segel and Nicholas Stoller ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "Get Him to the Greek," "Neighbors") actually seem to be set on offending the audience as Diaz snorts cocaine so as not to offend Lowe, while Segel, ransacking the house for one of the iPads, is understandably attacked by a large German Shepherd who's merely protecting his home. Quite apart from the fact that this gag has been done to death, and in any number of movies better than this, you should in fact be rooting for the dog, who suffers numerous injuries at the hands of the unrepentant Segel. If that isn't enough, the couple also take their children along as accessories to multiple felonies when they can't get a sitter.
If you're still rooting for the main characters at this point, you should be googling therapists. Nothing, not ethics, morality or the law, will stand between these characters and their nearly sociopathic obsession with saving their own reputations. You can make shock comedy about people like this. The heroes of "National Lampoon's Animal House" don't do a single decent thing in the entire movie. But "Sex Tape" isn't a shock comedy. It has a mushy core, like produce left too long in the bottom of the bin. We're meant to go "Awwww…" as the characters profess their love for each other, laced though these protestations are with obligatory F-bombs. "Sex Tape" has the mentality of a padded sitcom episode with nudity, sexual references vulgar language and on-screen drug use. This is a classic example of Hollywood thinking it's cool while playing it safe.
Cameron Diaz looks great in the movie, even if one suspects a body double might have been used in some shots. As to the nudity, viewers should nonetheless be prepared for the fact that they will see more of Mr. Segel's posterior than anything else. He appears to have slimmed down in expectation of these sequences. There is no obligatory d**k shot, possibly nixed by Mr. Segel, who was also an executive producer on the movie.
A capable supporting cast, including Rob Corddry, Ellen Kemper, Nancy Lenehan and an unbilled Jack Black are largely wasted. Actor/writer/director Nat Faxon ("The Descendants," "The Way Way Back") makes an on-screen cameo. He also appeared in Melissa McCarthy's current vanity project "Tammy."
Jake Kasdan's direction is uninspired and technically barely par. There are continuity errors in Segel's dog damage makeup, and the digital effects to make the stars look younger in the prologue are actually kind of creepy. The product placement for Apple is nearly non-stop. Too bad no one thought to call the technical support number. This whole mess could have been avoided.
"Sex Tape" is now showing at theaters across the Capital District, including the Bow Tie Cinemas Movieland in Schenectady, the Regal Cinemas Clifton Park Stadium 10 & RPX, the Rotterdam Square Cinema, the Regal Cinemas Colonie Center Stadium 13 & RPX, the Regal Cinemas Crossgates Stadium 18 & IMAX and the Regal East Greenbush 8.

Democratic Caucus Splinters Into a Thousand Pieces
The future of health-care reform is a big fat question mark as Democratic unity crumbles.
If the Democrats were going to recover from Scott Brown's victory and finish passing health-care reform, they would have needed more cohesion and fortitude than ever before, and we know that hasn't been their forte. Well, perhaps not surprisingly then, pretty much the exact opposite has happened. While White House advisers and congressional leadership try to hold the lines with soothing, confident messages like "We will get the job done" and "We should finish health care," the rest of the Democratic caucus has begun wandering off in every which direction.
Barney Frank expressed hope for a new compromise bill with Republican support. Bill Delhunt and John Yarmuth called for the legislation to be broken up and passed in pieces. Others congressmen, like Bart Stupak and Brad Ellsworth, simply stated that there's no willingness in the House to pass the Senate's bill as is. Anthony Weiner suggested passing a pared-down health-care reform bill as part of a jobs bill. Senators Jim Webb and Claire McCaskill put the kibosh on trying to quickly make changes to the Senate bill before Scott Brown is seated, something that wasn't likely anyway but makes them look honorable for opposing.
So what will the Democrats do next? Who knows! Everyone is spooked. No options look like total political winners. No path for passing the current legislation is immediately evident. In the next few days, the White House and congressional leaders will do a lot of soul-searching, chin stroking, and brainstorming to figure out which difficult, probably unappealing step to take next. Maybe some praying, too.

Live view
Much like the D90, the D5000 can only use contrast-detection AF (using the main imaging sensor) in live view - there's no option to use the camera's phase-detection AF sensor. The advantage is that the AF point can be moved anywhere in the frame, and can do exciting things such as detecting faces and tracking subjects in ways that a conventional DSLR AF sensor simply can't.
The disadvantage is that it's terribly slow when compared to conventional DSLR (phase-detection) AF or to contrast detection AF in compact cameras. This is a problem that no DSLR has yet entirely resolved without introducing other compromises (and one that may well require designed-for-contrast-detection lenses, as Panasonic has done with its G Micro System cameras).
The D5000's latest trick is the addition of a subject tracking AF mode. Sadly, although this does a great job of following a subject, even if it briefly leaves the frame, it doesn't actually adjust the focus as it tracks (probably because the battery drain would be punitive). The result is that it knows exactly where it'll need to start focusing, but hasn't done anything to shorten the time taken to find focus.

Overall handling and operation comments
The D5000 is a slightly odd fish when it comes to handling and operation. Despite it's rather lumpy-bumpy cobbled-together appearance, the D5000 fits very comfortably in the hand. The rear dial and exposure compensation button are both within easy reach, making shooting a quick, comfortable and immersive experience (you don't have to take your eye away from the viewfinder if you're making little tweaks to your exposure settings). You also have constant access to AF-point selection, via the control pad on the back of the camera - so long as you're in an AF-point selection mode that requires manual input.
However, this permanent use of the control pad means that there are very few external controls left for directly accessing shooting settings - forcing you to use the interactive info panel. This is not a terrible situation - the info panel is clear and simple to use - but lordy, there's a whole heap of button pressing to be done. If you're used to using a compact camera, this process is likely to be instantly familiar (perhaps even welcoming), but it's not as quick as using the direct access buttons on the Canon EOS 500D, Olympus E-620 or Nikon D90, once you've got used to that way of working.
Ultimately, it's a question of taste. We found that assigning ISO to the self-timer/function button (custom setting f1), allowed all three fundamental shooting parameters (shutter speed, aperture and ISO), to be set with your eye to the viewfinder while in P,A or S mode, which is key to quick shooting. Beyond that, the button pressing to scroll through and select options from the control panel can get a bit wearing but it's generally still easier than on previous generations of entry-level camera and is unlikely to be objectionable to the key audience for this camera.

Is Telecommunications the Boom Industry for 2012?
By Lucas Stewart
During a time when the economy is struggling, it appears as though the telecommunications industry is booming. Or is it? At least according to the 2012 TSS Java Trends survey, it is. TSS readers from around the world, working for the smallest of companies to the largest, related to technology or telecommunications, represented the largest number of the respondents with 27%. A close second was "Other" at 24% with "Financial Services" coming in third with 16%. Is there really this much work going on in tech or telecom?
At a high level, many respondents simply categorized themselves as "technology or telecommunications" professionals. So this may have skewed the results some. But comparing this to last year's survey where less than 1% of respondents worked at telecom companies, there does seem to be a growth trend. Or maybe those who work in telecom discovered TSS this year and became loyal readers?
If so, they join a devoted group of readers who work across many diverse sectors in addition to telecom, such as government agencies coming in at 9% of respondents and health care at 5%. Interestingly, the group "Other" was quite large perhaps because their companies provided more than one type of service or the respondent didn't know exactly how to answer.
Company respondent size lined up fairly consistently with last year's survey with the largest group representing 1-99 employees at 23%. However, 19% of all respondents described themselves as consultants or contractors so most may be independents working for larger companies. Since telecoms tend to be larger companies, could this explain why there seems to be a lot going on in telecom?
I think there might actually be a boom in telecom for Java developers. Why? Mobile banking. With so many mobile devices in use today which support the Java platform, very rich client interfaces and functionality can be created fairly easily. This trend may see telecoms partnering with banks to build infrastructure and platforms supporting future mobile banking growth. If so, what a great time to be a Java mobile developer.

Kid's movies have seen an amazing shift since Pixar first made a movie with computers. Now hand animated features are nearly a thing of the past. But the one thing I do like about this new slew of children's fare is that they no longer pander to children. An adult can get almost the same amount of enjoyment that a kid does. Like one of my all-time favorite cartoons Rocky and Bullwinkle theses new movies never sacrifice a good story for a cheap ploy to lure in children.
How to Train your Dragon 2 features Hiccup as a now twenty-something dragon riding explorer. His father wants him to be the next Chief of Berk but Hiccup has no interest in that at all. While out exploring he learns of a man named Drago Bludvist who wants to control all the worlds dragons for himself. There is also a mysterious dragon rider who has a tie to Hiccup's past.
The main thing to say about this movie is that it isn't simply more of the same. There are things similar with the first movie but all the rest has been turned up a notch. There is plenty of action and humor, and there are no truly frightening things that could scare the littler children.
The story is brilliant. It adds upon the first in wonderful ways. You get to see how the people of Berk have adapted to having dragons around. You get to see new types of dragons. The mysterious dragon rider of the movie has an amazingly touching back story. The people behind this movie have outdone themselves by not only giving us a fun movie, but also giving us that same sense of excitement we had the first time the dragons took flight.
The voice acting is well done also. Jay Baruchel is still great as Hiccup. He really gives the film its voice. Gerard Butler is good as his father Stoick. And I have to give props to Cate Blanchett as Valka. It would have been easy as in other lesser animated films to simply phone in a performance, but she gives a performance that is touching and beautiful.
The action in this film is great. I didn't see the movie in 3-D but the visual set pieces were flat out gorgeous to watch. They are fun and fast-paced and never have a misstep.
I loved this movie. I enjoyed it as a jaded adult viewer, I can only imagine what it must have been like for the kids in the audience. Five Stars.
I've added a link to the film's content advisory page here. And a link to the film's website here.
So if you're looking for a feature that's fun for the whole family, this is the flick for you.

Opinion 5.045 - Filming Patients in Health Care Settings
The use of any medium to film, videotape, or otherwise record (hereafter film) patient interactions with health care providers requires the utmost respect for the privacy and confidentiality of the patient. The following guidelines are offered to help ensure that the rights of patients are protected when filming occurs. These guidelines specifically address filming with the intent of broadcast for public viewing. As such, they consider physicians' role in striving to deliver information to the public that is both complete and accurate. They do not address other uses such as filming for medical education (see Opinion 5.046), forensic or diagnostic filming, or the use of security cameras.
(1) Educating the public about the health care system should be encouraged, and filming of patients may be one way to accomplish this. This educational objective can be achieved ethically by filming only patients who can consent.
(2) Filming patients without consent is a violation of the patient's privacy. Consent is therefore an ethical requirement for both initial filming and subsequent broadcast for public viewing. Because filming cannot benefit a patient medically and may cause harm, filming should be done only if the patient being filmed can explicitly consent. When patients cannot consent, dramatic reenactments utilizing actors should be considered instead of violating patient privacy. Consent by a surrogate medical decision-maker is not an ethically appropriate substitute for consent by the patient because the role of such surrogates is to make medically necessary decisions, and whether to film for public broadcast is not a medical decision. A possible exception exists when the person in question is permanently or indefinitely incapacitated (e.g. a patient in a persistent vegetative state) or is a minor child, in which case the consent should be obtained from a parent or legal guardian who has the authority to make non-medical decisions.
(a) Patients should have the right to have filming stopped upon request at any time and the film crew removed from the area. Also, persons involved in the direct medical care of the patient who feel that the filming may jeopardize patient care should request that the film crew be removed from the patient care area.
(b) The initial granting of consent does not preclude the patient from withdrawing consent at a later time. After filming has occurred, patients who have been filmed should have the opportunity to rescind their consent up until a reasonable time period before broadcast for public viewing. The consent process should include a full disclosure of whether the tape will be destroyed if consent is rescinded, and the degree to which the patient is allowed to view and edit the final footage before broadcast for public viewing.
(c) Due to the potential conflict of interest, informed consent should be obtained by a disinterested third party, and not a member of the film crew or production team.
(3) Information obtained in the course of filming medical encounters between patients and physicians is confidential. Persons who are not members of the health care team, but who may be present for filming purposes, must demonstrate that they understand the confidential nature of the information and are committed to respecting it. If possible, it is desirable for stationary cameras or health care professionals to perform the filming.
(4) Physicians retain their responsibility to maintain professional standards whenever medical or surgical encounters are filmed for public broadcast. They should be mindful that the educational content of the finished product may become marginalized, potentially distorting the portrayal of the patient-physician encounter and of the medical procedures. Physicians should accurately convey the risks, benefits, and alternatives of treatments to an audience of prospective patients, and should refuse to participate in programs that foster misperceptions or are otherwise misleading.
(5) Independent peer groups, such as medical specialty societies, also may help prevent misleading information from reaching the public by making themselves available to producers to assess the accuracy of program content. They may help dispel misperception by providing educational resources and, if necessary, taking corrective or disciplinary action.
(6) As advocates for their patients, physicians should not allow the care they provide or their advice to patients regarding participation in filming to be influenced by financial gain or promotional benefit to themselves, their patients, or their health care institutions.
(7) If a physician is compensated beyond services to the patient, the amount and conditions of compensation must be disclosed to the patient.
(8) To protect the best interests of patients, physicians should participate in institutional review of requests to film.
(9) Programs regarding various aspects of health care are commonly televised; therefore, physicians should recognize that their patients may have preformed expectations from public broadcasts that may need to be addressed. (I, IV, VII, VIII)

Hoffmann, F; Musolf, K; Penn, D J (2012). Ultrasonic courtship vocalizations in wild house mice: spectrographic analyses. Journal of Ethology, 30(1):173-180.
Full text not available from this repository.
View at publisher
House mice emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) during courtship, which are sexually dimorphic and function to attract mates. Spectrographic analyses of laboratory mice show that USVs are surprisingly complex and have features of song. In this study, we conducted the first spectral and temporal analyses of recordings from wild house mice (F1 from wild-caught Mus musculus musculus ). Inspection of the spectral shape of syllables shows that the USVs from wild mice can be classified by both frequency and duration, and the most apparent distinction is between low- versus high-frequency calls. High-frequency calls of wild mice seem to be emitted at a much higher frequency range than previously found in some laboratory mice. Interestingly, we found that 20% of males do not vocalize at all, though the reason for their behaviour is unclear. Future studies are needed to determine what kind of information is conveyed in these complex vocalizations, and why some males appear to be non-vocalizers.
