Tonight is the first live eviction on "Big Brother 16" and now fans are curious if Frankie Grande could be the one leaving the house. No he isn't on the block but something personal could be enough to make him leave on his own. On Thursday, Carter Matt shared how his grandpa has been sick. Fans of his sister Ariana Grande call him Grandpa Grande already.
Frankie's grandpa has been battling cancer for a while now. Fans of his sister have already been following the story. It now sounds like things aren't going well for him. Ariana is rushing to his side and wants to be with him right now. She even canceled performances because of it.
She went to her Twitter account today saying, "NY I'm sorry u saw less of me this trip. off to the g-parents in FL. they need me & now I gotta be there. love u & thank u for understanding." Her fans are all sending well wishes and saying that they understand. The thing is this doesn't sound like things are going very well. She did not say one word about if it could affect Frankie's game or not.
If Frankie Grande's grandpa has taken a turn for the worse, then they might make the decision to tell him about it. This would give Frankie the chance to leave the game if he wanted to and head home to be with his family. Right now they are not saying anything though. If it is going to happen, there is a live show tonight on CBS and it could be talked about there.
Don't miss the new episode of "Big Brother 16" tonight on CBS. If Frankie Grande has plans to leave, then they might not even send someone home. He might stick it out a while and see how his grandpa does as well. Fans would love to keep him in the game. Frankie went into the game knowing his grandpa wasn't doing well so they have already decided what he would do ahead of time.

Florida Panthers: Allen set to return…and more
The Panthers took their annual team photo at BankAtlantic Center this morning and then stuck around for a rare practice there — possibly their last practice of the year if they take Friday off.
***The news of the day: Defenseman Bryan Allen practiced and should be in the lineup tommorrow against the Devils. Allen has missed the past two games with bruised ribs.
"He's a warrior. He wants to play and it's hard to keep a guy like that out of the lineup. That's a nice problem for a coach to have where you've got a guy that's adamant he wants to play and end the season the right way," Coach Pete DeBoer said.
With the Panthers finishing with three games in four days, including back-to-backs against the Lightning Saturday night in Tampa and Sunday afternoon here, the plan is for Allen to sit out one of the three, probably Saturday's game.
***Speaking of Allen, he's been selected as this season's Panthers' nominee for the Masterton Trophy, awarded annually by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association to the NHL player who best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. Each team has one nominee. The winner will be named at the league's awards ceremony in June.
Check back for my story on Allen.
As most of you know, Allen's coming off microfracture knee surgery, which forced him to miss all but two games last season. It's the second major surgery Allen has had on his knee with the Panthers, and the seventh — that's right, seventh — procedure overall on that left knee.
***DeBoer said forwards Byron Bitz (elbow) and Gregory Campbell (foot) most likely are done for the season.
***Defenseman Keith Ballard, who talked about Allen's perseverance today, also talked about his fluky gaffe last night where he tried to swat away a puck that was high in the air but accidentally batted it backwards with his left hand into his own net.
As usual, Ballard had no problem poking a little fun at himself.
"I'm getting pretty good at the YouTube [moments]," Ballard said. "That's how it's gone for me this year. When it's bad, it's bad. I'm not beating myself up. It was a bad bounce."
At least it didn't happen in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, Ballard added.
"It's one of those things where if you ask any defenseman, they've probably done something similar. That one, I went to swat it away and it stuck in my glove. I didn't even know I did it right away."
***Rookie Evgeny Dadonov skated on the top line with Stephen Weiss and Nathan Horton throughout practice today. Simple explanation from DeBoer: Dadonov just played "much better" than Frolik last night. The 21-year-old Russian played 16:11 last night in his NHL debut, including 2:13 of power play time.
"He had good jump. He had good energy. The thing I liked is that he had the confidence to try some things, carry the puck and make plays," DeBoer said. "Young guys, when they come up sometimes stand and watch and are a little awestruck. He didn't have any of that. That was nice. The measuring stick is whether you can do it long term. We all saw with Shawn Matthias a couple of years ago, it's one thing to come up for a game or two and play on adrenaline. It's another thing to contribute regularly. That's the question with all young players."
***Tomas Vokoun will get the start in goal vs. the Devils tommorrow night.
***If you're planning on listening to the game on the radio, it won't be on 790 AM because of the Marlins' game. Instead, you can find the Panthers on 640 AM.

Yahoo booter's
Yahoo Messenger is a very good Chat program. But some guys suck's it by using some VB programs to attack peoples in chat. I've been in chat for more than 9 years. Being Master of computer application professional I like to write a review about this yahoo booters.
Booters are very dirty programs which are coded using Visual basic. These attacks are very hard it event disconnect internet connection because the packets were flooded into our IP address it leads to disconnect our net.
So peoples who used to chat through yahoo messenger should be safe to rectify this kind of attacks. Let we discuss how to prevent from those kinds of attacks and what is booter's. It is provisionally for beginners to chat and solely it's for educational purpose. Don't try this. Using yahoo booter's is unsafe to the system. Most of the downloaded booter program contains virus. So be safe.
What is Booter?
Yahoo booter is small Visual basic programs coded to disconnect yahoo chat. Usually people's chat for entertainment and time pass but some guys use this as attacking place to get out some people just for fun. Their sole purpose of attack is full of fun only not more than that.
Usually attackers need 100' or 1000's of yahoo Id's and high speed internet connection to attack the victim. They create yahoo ids, load in yahoo boot program and attack the victim until they disconnect. Some powerful attacks may even disconnect the victim from internet also.
Some attackers lock the user id by multiple wrong login attempts. In this condition we can't do any thing we have to wait for 12 to 24 hours to regain our yahoo ID. So new chatters are safe with this kind of attacks.
What is yahoo room booter's? What is spam Bots?
Room booters are very dirty thing which sends spam messages in chat. This is coded using timer, the timer which enables this boot programs after certain period of time. So it sends a Pm to all user's in chat. So all chatter has been disturbed periodically. To prevent this just click report as spam or block the user option in Pm( personal message).
How to rectify this kind of attacks?
Yahoo using different ways to prevent this kind of attacks. Yahoo introduced a Security code before logging into yahoo chat rooms. By verifying the words we can join into yahoo chat room. Yahoo introduced this to prevent multiple bot login to chat.
Yahoo chat clients are program which are created by a third party client to prevent attacks. Some users don't know what is this? But don't worry I will give you a little introduction about this.
Chat Clients are small software programs used to prevent from yahoo bot attacks.
How yahoo Chat Clients prevents yahoo bot attacks?
Let us we how it can be prevented. Usually yahoo boot programs target yahoo messenger. Programmers who coding the booter program knows very well about yahoo messenger modules and UDP. So they can easily code the program to attack victim. But they failed to analyze the Chat client programs if they tried to analyze also its very dofficult to code bot program for Chat clients. Some Chat clients like YahElite! Uses 'C' Programming to develop the client. Its absolutely free. And many other chat programs available in Market. Before using that be safe whether it is good. Some may grab your password from the client. So be safe before using Chat clients. One kind suggestion don't use your personal mail id for chatting. Create separate Yahoo id for using yahoo chat. I has been using yahelite, it's difficult to use at starting after that it will be easier and really nice.
What is yahoo Mic Locker or Domination? How to prevent from that?
Yahoo mic locker is also a VB program which targets to lock or grab the mic from other chatters in room. Using yahoo mic lockers they dominate the room. During that time no one couldn't get the mic. Some mad guys play songs using that. One way to prevent this by just ignoring the user in chat.
How to escape from bots?
As I described above you can come to a conclusion about booters. To prevent this Enable firewall in your system. If some one talks vulgarly or misbehaving just ignore them. They may load bots and wait to attack. Moreover use conference to chat with your friends more than in public chat.
If you are well in using chat client use it else reject the offer. Don't click any unusual links which has been pm from others. Use separate yahoo id for chat purpose don't use your yahoo Email id or personal
Mail Id.
One kind request don't give your password in any other third party software or website for chatting. Surely they can easily grab your password.
Don't use booters it is very dangerous to system more than 90% of booters contains virus which loads virus into your registry and grab all saved passwords from your system and mail the password to hacker mail id.
Don't use booters it is very dangerous to system more than 90% of booters contains virus which loads virus into your registry and grab all saved passwords from your system and mail the password to hacker mail id.
Be safe have a nice chat.

Eugene Houdry in 1953, holding a small catalytic converter. Courtesy Sunoco, Inc.
One of the first improvements in petrochemical production was the catalytic process developed by Eugene Houdry (1892–1962) for "cracking" petroleum molecules into the shorter ones that constitute gasoline. Earlier commercial processes for cracking petroleum were thermal processes, relying on heat rather than on catalysis. Because catalysts can reduce the pressures and temperatures needed for carrying out commercially useful reactions, they help reduce costs.
Houdry obtained a degree in mechanical engineering in his native France before joining the family metalworking business in 1911. After he served in the tank corps in World War I, for which he received honors for extraordinary heroism in battle, he pursued his interest in automobiles (especially race cars) and their engines. On a trip to the United States he visited the Ford Motor Company factory and attended the Indianapolis 500 race. His interest soon narrowed to improved fuels. Because France produced little petroleum—and the world supply was thought to have nearly run out—Houdry, like many other chemists and engineers, searched for a method to make gasoline from France's plentiful lignite (brown coal). After testing hundreds of catalysts to effect the hoped-for molecular rearrangement, Houdry began working with silica-alumina and changed his feedstock from lignite to heavy liquid tars. By 1930 he had produced small samples of gasoline that showed promise as a motor fuel.

In the early 1930s Houdry collaborated with two American oil companies, Socony Vacuum and Sun Oil, to build pilot plants. Oil companies that did not want to resort to the new additive tetraethyl lead were eagerly looking for other means to increase octane levels in gasoline. In 1937 Sun Oil opened a full-scale "Houdry unit" at its refinery in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, to produce high-octane Nu-Blue Sunoco gasoline. By 1942, 14 Houdry fixed-bed catalytic units were bearing the unanticipated burden of producing high-octane aviation gasoline for the armed forces.
One limitation of Houdry's process was that it deposited coke on the catalyst, which required that the unit be shut down while the coke was burned off in a regeneration cycle. Warren K. Lewis and Edwin R. Gilliland of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who were hired as consultants to Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (now ExxonMobil), eventually solved this problem with great ingenuity and effort. They developed the "moving-bed" catalytic converter, in which the catalyst was itself circulated between two enormous vessels, the reactor and the regenerator.
Houdry continued his work with catalysts and became particularly fascinated with the catalytic role of enzymes in the human body and the changes in enzyme-assisted processes caused by cancer. About 1950, when the results of early studies of smog in Los Angeles were published, Houdry became concerned about the role of automobile exhaust in air pollution and founded a special company, Oxy-Catalyst, to develop catalytic converters for gasoline engines—an idea ahead of its time. But until lead could be eliminated from gasoline (lead was introduced in the 1920s to raise octane levels), it poisoned any catalyst.

Disability Studies as a Source of Critical Inquiry for the Field of Assistive Technology - October 28th, 2010
Informatics faculty member Gillian Hayes and collaborators just received a SIGACCESS best paper award for a paper published in ASSETS 2010, the International ACM Conference on Conference on Computers and Accessibility, going on in Orlando, Florida. Their paper, "Disability Studies as a Source of Critical Inquiry for the Field of Assistive Technology" comes out of the research they've been doing on HCI for individuals with disabilities.
Disability studies and assistive technology are two related fields that have long shared common goals–understanding the experience of disability and identifying and addressing relevant issues. Despite these common goals, there are some important differences in what professionals in these fields consider problems, perhaps related to the lack of connection between the fields. To help bridge this gap, we review some of the key literature in disability studies. We present case studies of two research projects in assistive technology and discuss how the field of disability studies influenced that work, led us to identify new or different problems relevant to the field of assistive technology, and helped us to think in new ways about the research process and its impact on the experiences of individuals who live with disability. We also discuss how the field of disability studies has influenced our teaching and highlight some of the key publications and publication venues from which our community may want to draw more deeply in the future.
Congratulations Gillian!

Acceptable Use in the Age of Connected Youth - June 8th, 2010
Congratulations to Informatics Graduate Student Meg Cramer and Informatics Faculty Member Gillian R. Hayes on having their paper,
'Acceptable Use in the Age of Connected Youth: How Risks, Policies, and Promises of the Future Impact Student Access to Mobile Phones and Social Media in Schools' accepted to IEEE Pervasive Computing.
Abstract: "To fully engage pervasive computing technologies and youth as a significant area of inquiry, we must ask why mobile devices and social media applications that support educational learning objectives are much less pervasive in the classroom than in other parts of youth life. First, we discuss the potential mobile devices and social media have for learning, both from an individual skills and socialization perspective. Then we turn to the development of Acceptable Use Policies, which dictate the prescribed use of mobile devices on school campuses as a response to the risks schools face in dealing with disruptive or harmful speech. We describe some perceived risks and observed problems for educators with regard to youth online that characterize the attitudes toward pervasive technologies in formal learning settings. Finally, we close with some discussion of the way forward, toward a greater understanding of the youth experience with pervasive computing technologies and greater access to these systems and applications within the formal schooling context."

Interactive Visual Supports for Children with Autism - May 27th, 2010
Congratulations to Informatics faculty member Gillian Hayes and Informatics grad students Sen Hirano, Gabriela Marcu, Mohamad Monibi, David H. Nguyen, and Michael Yeganyan on having their paper, 'Interactive Visual Supports for Children with Autism' accepted to Personal and Ubiquitous Computing Journal.
"Interventions to support children with autism often include the use of visual supports, which are cognitive tools to enable learning and the production of language. Although visual supports are effective in helping to diminish many of the challenges of autism, they are difficult and time-consuming to create, distribute, and use. In this paper, we present the results of a qualitative study focused on uncovering design guidelines for interactive visual supports that would address the many challenges inherent to current tools and practices. We present three prototype systems that address these design challenges with the use of large group displays, mobile personal devices, and personal recording technologies. We also describe the interventions associated with these prototypes along with the results from two focus group discussions around the interventions. We present further design guidance for visual supports and discuss tensions inherent to their design."

Computational Metaphor Identification to Foster Critical Thinking and Creativity - June 15th, 2009
Photo courtesy of eye2eye
Congratulations to Eric Baumer on successfully defending his Ph.D. thesis "Computational Metaphor Identification to Foster Critical Thinking and Creativity"
Bill Tomlinson (Chair)
Lindsey Richland
Paul Dourish
The world's longest abstract (verging on becoming a "concrete")
Metaphor, the partial framing of a target concept in terms of a source
concept, permeates human thought and action. Metaphors often manifest
themselves as linguistic patterns in which language associated with a
source concept is used to describe a target concept. Any given metaphor
highlights some aspects of a concept while simultaneously downplaying
others. Novel metaphors can provide creative reframings of familiar
concepts by highlighting those aspects hidden by more common metaphors.
However, due to their ubiquity, conceptual metaphors can be difficult to
examine critically, if we can even notice them in the first place.
To address such difficulties, this dissertation develops computational
metaphor identification (CMI), which identifies potential conceptual
metaphors in written text. CMI maps selectional preferences of
relatively frequent nouns in a source corpus to those in a target
corpus. Such mappings indicate potential metaphors from concepts in the
source corpus to those in the target. CMI can be used to draw attention
to potential conceptual metaphors that might otherwise go unnoticed,
making those metaphors available for critical and creative examination.
For example, what might a given metaphor highlight, what might it hide,
and what alternative metaphors might frame the situation differently? In
this way, CMI is designed not as a type of computational reasoning, but
as a means of facilitating human reasoning.
To evaluate its capacity to foster critical thinking and creativity,
computational metaphor identification was incorporated into an
educational module about cell biology, which was used to perform an
experimental study in a 7th grade classroom. Students' answers to
written questions about the cell were analyzed using CMI, and potential
metaphors were presented back to students. The results demonstrate that
the use of CMI effectively fostered both critical thinking about
metaphors and creative generation of alternative metaphors. These
results also speak to the varying roles of surface and structural
similarity in metaphorical reasoning, as well as the relationship
between noticing similarities and noticing differences when thinking
about metaphors. This evaluation not only demonstrates CMI's usefulness
in educational contexts, but it also carries broader implications for
exploring the relationship between computation and human thought.
Congrats Dr. Eric!!

NEW YORK (AP) - Helping children achieve a healthy weight is a three-prong effort, according to Melinda Sothern, co-author of "Trim Kids" (HarperCollins). It encompasses exercise, a healthy diet and the right eating behaviors.
Sothern, and collaborators T. Kristian von Almen and Heidi Schumaker, provide a 12-week plan in their book that helps incorporate all three elements into children's lives - and their parents'.
If kids are a normal weight and prevention of becoming overweight is the goal, Sothern said parents often can incorporate healthful routines into daily life without the children even noticing. But, she added, if children are overweight, parents need to take better control of the situation while explaining to the kids why physical activity and low-fat foods are becoming the norm.
At the same time, Sothern advises helping these children set achievable weight-loss goals and reinforce them with positive parenting.
Some of the authors' suggested techniques to keep children physically active include:
Ask your children to walk briskly whenever and wherever they walk.
Create an environment for active play both inside and outside the home.
Provide opportunities for normal-weight children to safely climb, run and jump to help develop muscle strength and bone density. Consult a physician about which activities are safe for an overweight child.
Reserve at least one day each weekend dedicated to fun family fitness activities.
Require that when they watch television, they have to do some kind of exercise or movement during commercials.
Offer choices - while getting some help around the house. Options might include vacuuming, walking the dog or shoveling snow.
"Trim Kids" also offers these rules for eating and for altering eating behaviors:
Take smaller bites and chew more, 15 to 30 times per bite.
Do not take seconds - except for vegetables.
Leave some of every type of food on your plate.
Leave the serving bowls of food in the kitchen.
Use a smaller plate.
Eat at least three bites of every food.
Drink a large glass of water 15 minutes before each meal.
Eat in one place and on a schedule.
Don't do anything else while eating.

A Doug's Life: A New Year's Resolution Scorecard
The email was quite innocent, really, on a totally different subject. But then the writer jolted me ...
The email was quite innocent, really, on a totally different subject. But then the writer jolted me back to reality with a couple questions about something I had pretty much ignored:
"By the way, did you recover from your injury? How is your diet coming?"
My first thought was, "How does she know about that?" Then I remembered that when you write a column, your life can become an open book. Ah, yes, I thought. I wrote about those things a year ago, in my piece on New Year's resolutions for 2012.
So I guess it was confession time. Just how did I do with those published promises I made to myself a couple months after moving to Menifee?
Before I could look up my Dec. 28, 2011 column on that subject, I felt the ache in my big toe that never really left after my foot surgery a year and a half ago. OK, so I haven't recovered from injury quite like I wanted. Surgery fixed part of the problem, but some days I still limp around like Walter Brennan in a John Wayne movie.
That recovery wasn't really a New Year's resolution. However, I did have some degree of control over my healing, with the diet I had planned. Working out regularly and losing weight? Those were definite goals.
As I realized this, I glanced down at my belly. Hmmm. Failure on that one. The goal was to lose the 15 pounds I had gained since foot surgery. Instead, I gained another 20.
Thus Resolution No. 1 is a holdover from last year -- work out regularly and lose some weight. But let's see how I did on my other resolutions:
Read at least two books a month: Failure. Maybe if I could string together all the college papers I grade and count them as books. Otherwise, nope.
Learn Menifee history: Success. I'm no expert, but I have the motivation to learn and the willingness to get my feet dirty on the old tractor paths. I apologize for anywhere I trespassed to get a photo of some relic up close. Not you, Mrs. Jones.
Grade papers on time: Failure. Well, let me clarify that. They were graded in time to meet the final deadline at the end of the quarter, but not in what I consider a timely manner. Better keep that one on the list for this year.
Take horseback riding lessons: Failure, but I refuse to give up on that one. Keep it on the list, but wait until I lose those 35 pounds. I am against animal cruelty.
Go camping: Failure. Think I'll leave that one off the list until more of my grandkids are old enough to sit with me by the campfire.
Stay focused: Nope. I still walk into a room and forget why I went there. I'd like to keep it on the list, but I need suggestions.
Explore the area on foot: Success, to a point. I've checked out a lot of the territory, but without one foot cooperating, I'm switching to a bike to keep this one on the list.

Doctors Say No TV For Little Ones!
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) once again reminded parents with children ages 2 and under that they should not be allowing their little ones to watch TV or other screens (like computer screens and smartphones) - something that 90% of parents currently allow!
Why not? The doctors' group said such exposure can have "more potential negative effects than positive effects."
"The temptation to rely on media screens to entertain babies and toddlers is more appealing than ever, with screens surrounding families at home, in the car and even at the grocery store," the AAP said in a press statement. "And there is no shortage of media products and programming targeted to little ones. But a new policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics says there are better ways to help children learn at this critical age."
The doctors maintain that there's no evidence to support claims that programming aimed at very young children has any educational impact. They instead urged caretakers to provide "unstructured play time" which allows children the chance to "think creatively, problem solve and develop reasoning and motor skills." The physicians also suggested that parents keep televisions out of their children's bedrooms and "recognize that their own media use can have a negative effect on children."
Not surprisingly, this position is not exactly popular with parents, many of whom think that the guidelines are out of touch with reality.
Writing in the online magazine Slate, Farhad Manjoo related the story of how he was told by his 1-year-old's pediatrician not to allow his child to watch TV or play with his parents' iPhone, iPad or computers.
"Like all babies, Khalil goes gaga for any sort of screen," Manjoo wrote. "The sight of an electronic device quiets him instantly, and if you hand him the gadget, it will reliably captivate him for 10 minutes or longer, far more time than he spends with any other kind of toy."
Manjoo admitted that he's used gadgets and screens to calm his son when they were out in public, saying he knew it was "wrong" but that he was using the items judiciously. "I'm skeptical of the blanket rule against screens," he added. ". . . [T]he prohibition against television for babies is based on shaky evidence. . . The evidence against phones, tablets and PCs is far slimmer. As far as I can tell, there's no research showing that letting your baby play a game on your phone for a short while will harm him in any way."
In a piece titled "I Let My Babies Watch TV and I Regret Nothing!" Time Magazine's TV critic James Poniewozik also weighed in, saying "In the end, I take pronouncements like the AAP's like I take so many guidelines for parenting: as Platonic statements of an ideal that I will continually fall short of."
This is actually their development stages, and if we teach them to rely on every digital medium such as iPad and other smartphones, this will affect their entire learning process and they almost not use their natural intelligence through way of living, responsibility and their environment. It doesn't mean that we cut their usage on these mediums but at least we must provided them part of their time as leisure and entertainment. Anything that is excessive can be damaging not only to health but the entire way of living.
Roswell of KekaCase.com, an ipad 2 case distributor
It's the Brain, Stupid!
Media savvy, rationalizations and letting them eat cake are emotional responses to a developmental issue that has not been explained to the masses. (Maybe a schedule snafu at TV Stations) An infant brain needs to be calibrated. the flashing lights and overstimulation of tv interferes with the development and this calibration. Speech development is also affected, that's why government program for speech delay have been developed. Sit in a dark room and watch the light changes. Same mechanism is response for insomnia, watching tv before or while trying to sleep sets of the overstimulation. Unfortunately, when a child goes to school and a teacher is talking without lights and bells, they can't follow. And then they are Labeled
deficit! (even though they are media savvy and happy from cake!
As far as the. AAP watching your child while your showering, maybe tv stations and advertiser can pay for therapy for children affected with speech delay or ADHD/ learning and processing disorders. After seven or eight , turn on the tube and bring out the cake, of course unless you have heard of childhood obesity. May quality time with children will result in boarding schools during the week as a Sensible approach to what to do with kids!
I have developed a model called PADHD , Parental attention deficit and hyperactivity, in 1999, I coined this term and define it as , " lack of parental attention, exemplified by vibrator chairs to rock infants, tv time to numb, vans with tvs/DVD that play continuously and over schedule "after school activity" resulting in 12-20 hours a week of home time (average of 2-3 hours a night before child is put to sleep) in home time. And we wonder why narcissism is on the rise.
Maybe we just need to speak and spend time with our media savvy children.
My daughter has been watching SOME kind of TV/movies since she was just a few months old. Mostly because of this: "...he suggested that if the pediatricians "really want to help the parents" they "could offer to watch the baby next time while we grab a shower." Plus, I don't have a single problem with her repeating anything she hears from Grover, Big Bird, or Mickey Mouse.

Two Tennessee teens have been charged with allegedly plotting a mass shooting at Volunteer High School in Church Hill, Tenn. According to the NY Daily News on Friday, authorities have confirmed that the boys allegedly had a cache of weapons and detailed written plans to kill as many teachers and students as possible. These arrests have made news around the world. The charges were announced a few days after a school shooting in Oregon made the news, but the Hawkins County Sheriff's Department has been investigating the case for several months. The teens have been in custody since the investigation began.
The names of the young men, aged 16 and 17, have not been released due to their ages. ABC News reports that the younger boy, who was age 15 at the onset of the investigation, had a fascination with the shooters at the 1999 Columbine school massacre and serial killers in general. He had studied the Columbine incident as he planned the massacre at Volunteer High School. The plans were drawn up to time the shootings when the most potential victims would be in the cafeteria and the hallways. He had also attempted to recruit other participants.
The plot was reported to the authorities by a counselor who was treating this younger boy after his parents had found a journal with detailed plans for the Volunteer High massacre. The student had also personally shared his violent plans for his senior year to the counselor during a session. A December search turned up the journals, guns, firecrackers and a bag of gun powder. Floor plans to Volunteer High School were also discovered in the student's possession.
The two boys have been charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, conspiracy terrorism and possession of explosives. Hawkins County Sheriff Ronnie Lawson has expressed how serious the situation was. He stated, ""I want you to know that this wasn't just a threat — it was a planned attack." At the same time, Hawkins County School system has assured the public that the students were never in danger. So, who do the parents of students at Volunteer High School in Church Hill, Tenn., believe?

Duke Ellington: The Blues With a Feelin'
The Blues With a Feelin'
Duke Ellington (piano)
The Okeh Ellington (Columbia C2K 46177)
Duke Ellington (piano), Johnny Hodges (clarinet, soprano & alto saxes), Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton (trombone),
Arthur Whetsol, Bubber Miley, Fred Jenkins (trumpet), Barney Bigard (clarinet, tenor sax), Harry Carney (clarinet, alto & baritone saxes), Fred Guy (banjo), Wellman Braud (bass), Sonny Greer (drums).
Composed by Duke Ellington.
Recorded: New York, November 22, 1928
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
"The Blues With a Feelin'" is an apt title for this track. With the Ellington band's usual fine backing, there are superb solos from "Tricky Sam" Nanton, Johnny Hodges, and presumably Arthur Whetsol. The tune opens and ends with lovely clarinet duet lines. After the opening, Nanton plays a higher-range, very melodious trombone solo with gorgeous tone and some punch. That effectively sets the stage for a soaring, soulful soprano sax solo by Johnny Hodges that is nicely constructed, with well-placed use of bluesy slurs. The impact of Johnny's inspiration and mentor of a few years earlier, Sidney Bechet, is especially evident here, right down to the intense, Bechet-style vibrato. Whetsol (or is it Miley?) contributes some fine muted trumpet lines that carry on perfectly, in tone and style, from the Hodges solo. This track is an excellent example of how the sophisticated gentleman Ellington, with key-note help from his superb soloists, could offer up soulful blues. Especially with Johnny Hodges, this is, indeed, "the blues with a feelin'."

A cat traps an Oregon family and terrorized them in their house. The house cat wouldn't let the family come out of their bedroom after they locked themselves in to get away from the angry cat. The owners of the cat were left no other option but to call 911 for help.
This had to be one of the oddest calls the 911 dispatcher has ever received, as the house cat was holding the family captive and kept "charging" the family when ever they tried to make a move. The dispatcher heard the cat's yowls and told the owners to stay put until help got there, according to WPTV.com on March 11.
Lux, the 22-pound Himalayan cat, had attacked their baby, who is only eight-months-old, and then the cat attacked their dog. The cat wouldn't stop hissing and swatting at the family so they locked themselves in a bedroom hoping it would calm down, but that didn't happen.
The 911 call was made when the cat continued trying to attack them as they tried to get out of the bedroom. The cat could be heard making all kinds of noises over the 911 call.
The owner of the cat, Teresa Barker later told the media that the cat wasn't making just a regular cat meow sound, it was "hissing and just yowling." The cat was acting absolutely crazy she said.
Police arrived and were able to capture Lux using a dog-snare, but not before he scaled to the top of the family's refrigerator. The man who called 911 told the dispatcher that he kicked the cat in the rear end because it had swiped at the baby. After he kicked it, the cat started acting crazy and this is when they barricaded themselves in the bedroom.
Here is how that 911 call went:
Caller: "He's charging us. He's at our door, our bedroom door."
Dispatcher: "One moment, OK?"
Caller: "Do you hear him? That was the cat."
Dispatcher: "Yeah, I hear him. Keep the door shut, OK?"
Update: According to Fox News live on Tuesday, the owner of the cat refuses to give it away. He said he is keeping the cat.

Florida Head Coach Roland Thornqvist
On the match...
"I don't know how it looked on TV or in the stands, but let me tell you what it looked like from my point of view, it took about 10 years off my life. We played phenomenal. We really set the tone. Today we really found out how Stanford has a 12 year winning streak. It is very difficult to win here. It took everything we have to push us to victory. Thankfully we have a superstar with the best wheels in the game. I think she is the toughest player I have ever coached. She is 6-0 in national championship finals. I will put that record up against anyone. So when it came down to Lauren, it was the one we wanted at the end and she came through for us."
On the winning feeling...
"The feeling on this side, is like a different world. It resonated throughout the summer. We wrote some letters to them. It was a deep hole that we had to get out. We know how Mallory [Burdette] is feeling right now. We have great sympathy for her."
On the atmosphere...
"This is what college tennis is all about. This is why we put the men and women together. Obviously a partisan crowd, but we talked about that. I know the way you ride when you have a crowd. I thought the Stanford players played an outstanding match."
On winning the title...
"It feels great, really. I told them when we first started the NCAA Championships, I was going to be proud of them. I have enjoyed being with them for eight months. I really feel like this team gets along really well. They are on the same page and we still enjoy being around each other. I am so happy for these guys. They really deserved it."
On breaking Stanford's 12 year win streak...
It is really difficult to win here. Today just proves how difficult it is. The Stanford players just play at a very different level. They played their best tennis, so to beat them here, you get their best game and 2,000 fans. We were very fortunate to get those last two points.
Sophomore Lauren Embree
On her singles match...
"It was so up and down. I got out to a fast start, but Mallory [Burdette] kept getting better and better. I wanted to get out and keep battling for my team. I had different thoughts racing through my mind. Down 4-0, obviously not too happy, but i knew I couldn't give up. I didn't want to lose of course."
On if she knew the score on court six...
I knew that Olivia [Janowicz] was winning, but I wanted to focus on my game.
On the strategy to her singles match...
"Mallory hits the ball so hard and I knew I couldn't hit with her. So I wanted to grind it out. I wasn't going to try to go stroke for stroke with her, that wasn't going to vote."
Freshman Alexandra Cercone
On teammate Lauren Embree...
"Lauren is one of those players you depend on. Sometimes you don't want to put pressure on one player. I knew that Lauren could pull it out. I had incredible faith in her and I am so glad she did what she did today and I am glad we are on the same team."
Stanford Head Coach Lele Forood
On the match...
"Well, it was an incredible match. It was the most electric atmosphere I have experienced at a college tennis match. So it was an amazing day, but we just came up a little short today."
On the up and downs of the match...
"It was that kind of match. Through three sets to a third set tiebreak. That is just the way it goes sometimes."
On snapping the winning streak...
"It has been going on a long time. I think I sat here the other day and said we know it isn't going to go on for infinity, so we will take a loss and move on. The streak doesn't mean a lot to us. It is interesting, but it is not a motivating thing. It is kinda fun, but it is trivia. We are much more on the year to year with what we do. Because players, situations, teams, etc. are different. It just happens that we went an incredibly long period of time without losing a match."
On losing Kristie Ahn to injury...
"It is hard to lose an impact player like her. But we felt comfortable with the players we put out there today. She wasn't going to go out there on the court to just take space up. We felt good about that. We were not a healthy ship out here today."
On Florida in the doubles point...
"They played very well. Their tactics were good, their execution was better. We don't have a chance in this tournament with the straight line. When we don't win the doubles point, we don't panic. We know we are very strong singles players and know we can put away four points on anyone."
Sophomore Mallory Burdette
On the winning and losing side of the NCAA finals...
"Obviously it is not as fun being on this side. I had my game plan when I went out there today. I executed it pretty well for most of the match and it came down to two points. I knew what she was going to do, it just came down to two points. I am pretty proud with the way I played, just came up a little short.
On using last year's experience... "I was thinking about it more in terms of that was the way I should be playing. Obviously I needed that tiebreaker."
On when she knew McVeigh's match of six was over...
"I think in the middle of the tiebreaker, I looked up there to see that McVeigh's match was done."
On teammate Hilary Barte...
"I think that ever since freshman year, when you have someone on your team that is so successful at what she does. In a lot of ways, she is like an idol. I've always wanted to carry myself like her, with a lot of class. I feel like I have just learned so much, that it is hard to even state it. It is just little things here and there, how she handles people, how she handles herself out on the court. It has been a really cool two years. And its not over yet, we have next week. We still have doubles and I think we are going to do really, really well."
Senior Hilary Barte
On this team...
"It is a the most special experience I have ever had. I think this team especially, we had a lot of mountains and we climbed them. The memories with this team, I will have for the rest of my life."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The football team moved outside on Thursday for a two-hour practice in full pads on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.
It was the Crimson Tide's fourth practice of the week and the first outside as temperatures reached the upper 60s in Tuscaloosa. Alabama will hold four more practice before breaking for Christmas on the afternoon of Monday, Dec. 23. The entire team will reconvene in New Orleans on Friday, Dec. 27.
The Football Writers Association of America was the last organization recognized by the NCAA as official selectors to announce its All-America team. The FWAA selected LT Cyrus Kouandjio, LB C.J. Mosley and S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the first team while AJ McCarron was a second-team pick.
Mosley was a unanimous selection for all five teams (Walter Camp, AP, FWAA, AFCA and Sporting News) while Kouandjio and Clinton-Dix were consensus selections (3 of 5). McCarron was on two of the five first teams, just missing consensus recognition. Mosley is the fourth Alabama player and just the 26th in SEC history to be named two-time consensus All-American.
Get all the latest information on the team by following @AlabamaFTBL on Twitter and Facebook and AlabamaFBL on Instagram. General athletic news can also be found at UA_Athletics on Twitter and Instagram and AlabamaAthletics on Facebook.

NATION'S LARGEST ETHNIC CREDIT UNION AWARDS $34,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO 34 ILLINOIS STUDENTS PSFCU Hands Out Local Scholarships For Fifth Consecutive Year; Special Guest Presents Credit Union With U.S. Capitol Flag
LIGHTNING RELEASES: BROOKLYN, NY (June 20, 2014) – For the fifth consecutive year, the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union (PSFCU) awarded college scholarships to Illinois students, as 34 local high-school and college students split $34,000 in grants to continue their education.
The grants are part of the PSFCU's annual scholarship program that has awarded more than $3,000,000 to approximately 2,500 credit union members in New York, New Jersey and Illinois since 2001. The program was started for New York area members, but expanded to Illinois following the opening of institution's first Chicago-area branch in January 2010.
This year the PSFCU Scholarship Committee awarded scholarships to 20 high school graduates, and 14 college students living in Illinois. The scholars received their awards during a recent ceremony at the PSFCU branch in Mt. Prospect. The grants ranged from $500 to $5,000 for the students, based on need and merit.
"I'm happy that we are able to award scholarships in Illinois for the past five years, and we look forward to doing so for many years to come. Our three branches are growing splendidly here and our local member population has already reached 11,000 out of our total 80,000 membership," said Bogdan Chmielewski, President and CEO of PSFCU.
"Enabling the further education of these young people is the most important thing in the world, because they will be the leaders of tomorrow," said Michael E. Fryzel, member of the board of the National Credit Union Administration, and the special guest of the ceremony. "I don't know of any other credit union more involved in promoting its own community and helping its young members to continue their education."
During the ceremony, held June 14 (National Flag Day), Fryzel gave the PSFCU a rare gift: The U.S. flag that was flown over the United States Capitol on September 25, 2008 during Mr. Fryzel's first meeting as chairman of the Board at NCUA. "There is no better place for this flag than the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union," said Mr. Fryzel when giving the keepsake to the PSFCU.
The Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union was established in Greenpoint, New York, in 1976. Since then it has expanded to 15 branches in three states: New York, New Jersey and Illinois. With more than 80,000 members and $1.5 billion in assets, PSFCU is the largest ethnic federal credit union in the United States today.

Seed Banking Federally Listed Mainland Plant Species on DoD Lands - Report (Legacy 10-101/11-101/12-101) (PDF)
The Center for Plant Conservation,through its network of participating Institutions, works to conserve species from extinction by active programs in seed banking, plant propagation, and other related conservation work. The goal of this multi-year project was to collect and secure material from federally listed mainland plant species that occur on Department of Defense lands.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
climate change, lobbying, climate policy
This will be a big year in the fight against climate change. The decisions made—or not made—by Congress this session and by international leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen conference in early December will likely affect the state of the world for generations to come.
Beneficial decisions at the Copenhagen conference start with strong measures at home, but climate change legislation faces stark opposition in the United States. Nearly 800 companies and interest groups have hired more than 2,000 lobbyists to pressure Congressional representatives to swing climate change legislation in their favor. What's Mr. Smith to do?
Two students at Vermont's Middlebury College believe that engaging impassioned citizens as lobbyists for the environment is the best way to ensure good climate change legislation. To go up against industry lobbyists, however, these everyday people need proper knowledge of the policies and government workings, so the students created The Citizen's Guide to Climate Policy. The 44-page booklet focuses on the Waxman-Markey climate bill that the House of Representatives passed in June 2009. It points out the major elements of the bill and explains which aspects legislators could swing both ways on.
The booklet is more than just a guide, however. It's a call to action, an invitation to get in the game and affect positive change. The fate of the environment doesn't have to rest in the hands of lobbyists and politicians. Grab a guide and get involved!

Catalyst May Issue 1998
- Last month, we reported that a Maryland Catholic high school, St. John's Literary Institution, was ordered by a Frederick County Circuit Judge to reinstate two expelled students until a trial was set. When the case went before a U.S. District judge, the right of the school to expel the students was upheld (they were engaged in heavy petting, fondling and kissing in the hallway). Not only that, but the judge ruled against a request on the part of the students that the case be remanded back to Frederick County.

Bulgarian Academy of Science: "Myth for Batak" is pseudo-scientific show
Updated on: 26.04.2007, 16:44
Published on: 26.04.2007, 11:13
- Parvanov: Provocation against Bulgarian history
- Stanishev: There are numerous undeniable proofs of the tragedy, documented by international investigation committees and foreign journalists
In a declaration to the media, the chairman of Bulgarian Academy of Science (BAS) akad. Ivan Yuhnovsky declared that BAS and the Ethnographic institute museum in BAS explicitly refuse to provide place for presentation of the so called "the Myth for Batak" project and insist their name not to be involved in any way with such pseudo-scientific show.
Akad. Yuhnovsky added that the project authors' request for a place for discussion is unacceptable because the expressed theses on scientific point of view were primitive and groundless and could not be subject to scientific discussion, informed Bulgarian National Radio.
Bulgarian and European science have so far collected huge amount of historical and material proofs and written data for the massacres in Batak and Perushtitza, continues the declaration.
To remind that two scientists from the Free University of Berlin proposed a project, which envisaged a joint German-Bulgarian scientific group to analyze the permanent exhibition of the Historical Museum in Batak while at the same time a temporary exhibition, devoted to the "Myth of Batak" was organized in Sofia.

School Coordinators & Students
Interested in School Walk for Diabetes?
Not ready to register and need more info? Complete our short "I'm Interested" online form and we'll be in touch soon.
Raise Money for your School & Support ADA
The #1 reason why someone donates is because they were asked!
Sometimes it's hard to ask people for money—even when it's for a great cause. So, make your requests for donations personal. Tell your supporters why you want to join the fight to Stop Diabetes!
Fundraising Tips:
- Students who register for their School Walk online, can build a personal fundraising webpage and email friends and family to ask for their support.
- Collection envelopes can also be used to collect funds from donors.
- Schools can plan special fundraising events like penny wars or "jeans day" to help reach their school goal.
- Teachers can also get into the act, by encouraging students to reach a certain goal by having a favorite teacher or principal do something silly and fun in front of the whole school (how about a dunk tank, pie-in-the-face, do the chicken dance, dye their hair red or shave off a beard!)
- Always be safe! Never go door-to-door asking for money.
- Ask your supporters if they work for a company with a matching gift program. Many companies give money to charities when their employees do. You could double the amount you raise just by asking this simple question!
Students and schools earn thank you gifts for participating!
- Become a Diabetes Superhero by earning thank you gifts starting at a $10 donation.
- Schools that raise $2,000 or more can earn a certificate to purchase physical education equipment from Gopher.

My company has a Windows Server 2008 running a virtual server of Windows Server 2003 (with Exchange 2003). We want to upgrade to Exchange 2010. Since I need to know what steps to take to migrate everything from the virtual server running Server 2003 and Exchange 2003, to the physical server running Server 2008 and Exchange 2010. This includes all the AD stuff and all the Exchange stuff.

AD Portion: (1st phase)
Lets assume you have this virtual 2003 Server as a DC and you want to make the 2008 server a DC. You will need to perform some active directory prepartion (schema changes, etc.) to accept a 2008 DC. Once that is done, and both DCs see each other, you may want to consider migrating all the FSMO roles over to the new DC.
Helpful link for 1st phase: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733027(WS.10).aspx
Exchange portion: (2nd phase)
Your best option would be to ADD the Exchange 2010 to your Exchange Organization and then migrate mailboxes from the 2003 Server over to the 2010. In order to add the 2010 Exchange server, you will need to prepare AD with Once that is completed, you can eventually after a thorough testing, you can decommission the old 2003 Exchange.

Machine learning is becoming prevalent in the systems domain as a detection and analysis tool for problems amenable to adaptive techniques. However, the adaptivity and flexibility that are machine learning's biggest assets are also qualities that an attacker can exploit. Thus, it is important to study the security of learning systems [1-3].
We are investigating the vulnerability of real-world learning systems. In the context of the open-source, naive-Bayes-based spam filter SpamBayes; we are exploring how various avenues of attack exploit the learning algorithm's adaptability to compromise the system [4].
Lakhina et al. use Principal Components Analysis (PCA) for detecting anomalous point-to-point flows based on link volume data. We are investigating the ability of an adversary who poisons PCA's training data to evade detection, under various realistic models of control [5].
Universal sequence prediction considers the loss of a learner in the presence of an adversary. By explicitly modeling prediction as a game between an adversary and a learner, this approach provides a worst-case analysis that is desirable for a secure setting. For secure learning it is also important to consider methods that are robust to specific threat models. For this task robust statistics is another appropriate framework which quantifies the effect of outliers on statistical estimators.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds struggled to find the words to
describe his latest swing into history.
In truth, only the numbers could do it justice. With his 700th
homer, Bonds made it a three-member club and moved ever closer to
baseball's two greatest sluggers.
Bonds connected in the third inning of San Francisco's' 4-1 win
over San Diego on Friday night, leading the Giants to their sixth
straight win in the opener of their final nine-game homestand.
With a 392-foot solo shot to left-center, Bonds became the first
new member of the 700 club in 31 years, joining Babe Ruth and Hank
"It's just unbelievable," Bonds said. "You really can't put
it into words to be in a class with those two great players. It's
like you're dreaming and you're not dreaming. It's unbelievable,
it's unreal."
Bonds' 42nd homer of the season is another steppingstone in the
40-year-old's march toward Ruth's once-unthinkable 714 and Aaron's
imposing 755. Bonds hasn't been slowed by age, steroid suspicions
or the collective fear of pitchers and managers walking him with
record frequency.
Yet Bonds still clings to the hope of adding a World Series
title to his list of accomplishments, and this victory kept the
Giants (83-65) in front of the Cubs (81-64) by a half-game in the
NL wild-card race.
"I have game left, and it's just really hard to fathom that
I've hit 700 home runs and I can still play and still contribute,"
he said. "I just don't want to get satisfied, get too caught up
into it all. Right now, I really want to focus on completing my
career and, hopefully, coming back to the World Series."
As Bonds rounded second base, the Giants launched streamers and
an elaborate fireworks display from the scoreboard and light towers
in center field. He pointed skyward as he crossed home plate, then
took a curtain call to a joyous standing ovation.
With the victory, San Francisco also kept pressure on the
Dodgers, who lead the Giants by 2½ games in the NL West.
Third-place San Diego lost another chance to make up ground,
falling 6½ games behind Los Angeles.
Rookie Noah Lowry pitched 6 2-3 strong innings to remain
unbeaten in the majors. But Bonds dominated yet another night at
San Francisco's waterfront ballpark, which has seen more than its
share of history during the latter years of Bonds' career.
Bonds hit just one homer on the Giants' recent eight-game trip,
reaching 699 in Arizona. He got to work quickly back home: Instead
of dunking another homer in the kayak-infested waters of McCovey
Cove, Bonds went to the opposite field on an 0-1 slider from Jake
"The good thing is I get to sleep now and stop having
nightmares about this," Bonds said.
The ball landed a few rows deep in the stands, sparking a
celebration with fireworks, streamers, banners and several standing
ovations for the 40-year-old slugger.
"It's a tremendous accomplishment," said Expos manager Frank
Robinson, fifth on the list with 586 homers. "He's going to hit a
lot, lot more. A lot more. It's just a great achievement."
Bonds' 42nd homer increased San Francisco's lead to 4-0. He has
hit 79 homers against San Diego -- 18 more than any other opponent --
but manager Bruce Bochy promised to pitch to the slugger if game
conditions dictated it during the key three-game series.
"I hate to see something like this come against us in a game so
important," Bochy said. "But it's a terrific accomplishment.
There's a sense of history. He's maybe the greatest hitter ever in
the game."
Bonds finished 1-for-3 with a fly to right and a seventh-inning
strikeout against Peavy.
Bonds hit his 500th, 600th, 660th and 661st homers in San
Francisco. The 5-year-old park also was the site of his 73rd homer
in 2001, capping his single-season record.
Lowry also got a standing ovation when he left the game after
Rich Aurilia drove home the Padres' first run with a seventh-inning
Lowry, an unassuming left-hander, allowed five hits and two
walks. he is off to the best start ever for a San Francisco
pitcher, surpassing Juan Marichal's 4-0 start in 1960.
"It's an honor to be part of this game," Lowry said.
The last Giants rookie to start 5-0 was Clydell "Slick"
Castleman, who did it in New York in 1935. Lowry's veteran poise
has been invaluable for the Giants, fighting for a playoff spot
despite a patchwork rotation.
After Dave Burba got four outs, Dustin Hermanson pitched the
ninth for his 14th save in 16 chances.
The Giants scored three runs in the first inning against Peavy
(12-6), who hit Bonds and J.T. Snow during the rally. A.J.
Pierzynski had a run-scoring single, and Marquis Grissom got a
sacrifice fly.
Peavy allowed eight hits and struck out seven in seven innings,
but couldn't overcome his rocky first. After going unbeaten in nine
starts this summer, Peavy has lost three of four.
Alex Gonzalez went 0-for-2 and played errorless defense at
shortstop in his debut with the Padres, who acquired him from
Montreal on Thursday to help out their injury-plagued infield.
Rookie Khalil Greene and Sean Burroughs are expected to miss the
rest of the regular season. Aurilia injured his ankle while
stepping out of his SUV earlier in the week, though he started at
third base.
Game notes
Peavy threw 121 pitches. ... Burroughs had arthroscopic
knee surgery Friday and he's done for the season. Greene broke his
finger Monday, but has a chance to return for the playoffs.

One of my best friends, Amy, first introduced me to these beauties during my Bachelorette Party. We were having a pot luck for dinner and this was one of her contributions! My mom and I recreated the recipe a few weeks ago when I was home in PA for a jewelry party. I'm also bringing these over to Alicia's tomorrow — it'll be the first time our husbands meet!
Are you wondering about the string cheese? It is cheaper and still tastes great! Plus you can find part-skim string cheese and I haven't seen part-skim fresh Mozzarella pearls.
Have you ever made Caprese anything? I love all variations of Caprese appetizers!
