AT&T Chief Slams FCC For T-Mobile Deal, Spectrum Policy
AT&T Inc. Chief Executive Randall Stephenson has a bone to pick with the Federal Communications Commission.
After watching his $39 billion bid for T-Mobile USA wither last year under the weight of regulatory resistance, Stephenson used his company's fourth-quarter earnings call as an opportunity to lash out at the agency.
He said the FCC was standing in the way of industry growth by failing to auction off new licenses for wireless airwaves, or spectrum.
"The FCC is intent on picking winners and losers rather than letting these markets work," said Stephenson. "Growth cannot continue without more spectrum being cleared and brought to market. And despite all the speeches from the FCC, we're all still waiting."
AT&T argued the spectrum it would gain from the T-Mobile deal was the most efficient way to expand high-speed mobile broadband to the broadest swath of Americans. Yet rivals have pointed out that AT&T has excess airwaves it is not using and, last month, got FCC approval to buy about $2 billion worth of spectrum from Qualcomm Inc.
An FCC spokesman said the agency had approved more than 300 mobile transaction applications in the past two years, including the Qualcomm deal. "Unfortunately these facts were completely ignored in the conference call," said the spokesman, Neil Grace.
As part of its negotiated breakup fee with T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom AG, AT&T agreed to hand over $1 billion worth of spectrum. The two carriers applied for FCC approval of the transfer this month.
"This FCC has made it abundantly clear that they'll not allow significant M&A to help bridge their delays in freeing up new spectrum," Stephenson said, in his most pointed public comments since pulling out of the deal.
By the FCC's standards, the T-Mobile deal would have "resulted in higher prices for consumers and less innovation and investment in the marketplace," said Grace. "Those conclusions surely disappointed AT&T executives, but they followed directly from the facts and the law."
Congress is considering bills that would authorize the FCC to auction airwaves currently held by television broadcasters, but the process can take years to implement. Stephenson said in December before the collapse of the T-Mobile deal that he didn't anticipate a spectrum auction for about six years.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this month, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said his hands were tied on any spectrum auction until Congress acted. "We're going to get swamped by an ocean of demand" on mobile networks that could lead to slower speeds and higher prices, he said.
Stephenson also faulted the agency–which is weighing a Verizon Wireless deal to buy nearly $4 billion in spectrum from a group of cable television companies–for altering a measure of spectrum concentration, known as a screen.
"It might've been nice to have known they were going to change those spectrum screens ahead of time, but that is what it is," he said.

Newsreaders in Real Housewives spoof
Sandra Sully, Natalie Barr and Lee Lin Chin team up with SBS2 program The Feed to poke fun at themselves in a send-up of reality franchise Real Housewives.PT0M44S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3dr4f 620 349 August 15, 2014
"I party hard but read the news even harder," says Sandra Sully, the pillar of Ten's Eyewitness News.
Who knew?
The perfectly coiffed anchor hasn't gone off the rails, however - she joins Seven's Natalie Barr and SBS's Lee Lin Chin as part of a Real Housewives spoof made by SBS2's The Feed.
All good fun: The group embrace.
The 45-second clip was posted to Twitter Friday morning by SBS business journo Ricardo Goncalves - but with no explanation as yet as to why the three respected figures of news would be mocking themselves so mercilessly.
In a mock argument, of the ilk which is rife through the Real Housewives' relentless coverage, Sully tells Lee Lin Chin that she's not capable of prime-time, but which Lee Lin Chin yells "Oh you monster" before chucking a bottle at the window.
Sunrise's Barr, in probably the most self-deprecating turn, says "I'm here for a good time, not a long time".
Be afraid: The Real Newsreaders, from left, Sandra Sully, Lee Lin Chin and Natalie Barr.
Chin mocks her calibre, saying: "You just go and host Carols in the Domain". Barr answers back in a mock upset tone: "You know they didn't renew my contract."
In the video, Lee Lin Chin, who appears with the tag "A complete lunatic", chides her two competitors for never throwing "boiling hot coffee" on an intern.
Chin fully embraces her role as a psychopath, stating for no apparent reason: "I know I've never killed a man before, but I know I'm capable."
The clip will be on The Feed on SBS2 Monday at 7.30pm.
Coming Monday to @TheFeedSBS2, The Real Newsreaders of Sydney https://t.co/G3iqRNlH5S pic.twitter.com/JwFm3KM8vS — Ricardo Goncalves (@BUSINESSricardo)

We have recently migrated from a Win 2003/SQL Server 2000 system to Win 2008 64 bit R2, SQL Server 2008 R2.
Our websites are in classic asp, and this can't be changed to another scripting language at this time.
On the old server, if I got stuck in some kind of endless loop, the page would throw an error.
On the new server, I have a page that has some sort of looping problem, that even though the SQL SP is called only once (and runs fine run as a query on the server) it pegs SQL server and therefore locks all of our websites.
I'll get my code figured out, no biggie. But I need to make sure the server times out when this happens. (The page I'm working on runs fine with certain instances of the query, and locks with others using a different query variable. I can't have something like that sneak up on me on a page I haven't touched for three years.)
I can't figure out how an SP that runs once on the server, from an ASP page, is tying up SQL server this way. It's obviously some sort of a timeout issue, but I can't figure out where/which timeout values to change.
I actually have to remote desktop to the server and kill the process in SQL server.
I'm afraid I'm a generalist, and server management is not my thing, even though it's my responsibility, so I am almost certain to have questions about any answer that I receive.
How can I track this down? What settings do I need to change?
More info: It's not SQL Server On our test site, I created an ASP file that just did an endless loop (do while 1=1) and had the same problem - the other websites wouldn't load - without SQL server being involved. So I think the reason the process was hanging is that the page wasn't timing out as it should, and so the connection to SQL was never closed. Killing the process in SQL server would reset the page somehow.
For my intentional endless loop, I had to refresh the app pool to get rid of it. This points more to either IIS or the ASP settings.
The ASP timeouts are set to whatever the default were when the server was first loaded.
I still can't figure out why one file is locking up all websites, though. Again, that didn't happen on the old server.

I hate having to write this, because it makes me feel like I am capitalizing on the death of another human being, this is why that you have not seen me posting tribute videos to the man. It is not that I did not respect the man; I did, very highly. However, I did not know the man at all. Therefore, to me, it seems a bit cheap to write as if we were the best of friends. We were not, and I do not wish to make it seem that we were.
The reason why I am writing this blog entry is that, frankly, I am a bit pissed off at a number of things. I am pissed at myself; I am pissed off at Alex Jones and the mindless morons that follow that person as if he is the second coming of Jesus Christ. I have only myself to blame too. Yesterday, when news of Andrew Breitbart's passing broke, I took to my blog here and wrote, what I felt was a fair tribute to the man. In my haste to bring some sort of reasoning to the horrible event that had happened, I wrote something now, that if I had to do it over again; I would have never, in a million damned years would have ever written.
I wrote this:
I just hope that there is an autopsy. I do not really believe that it was natural causes. I believe they killed him — his enemies — the Chicago political machine. Andrew recently said that he had tapes of Obama from years ago in Chicago. Who is to say that someone did not poison him? Who is to say that Barack Obama did not get nervous and order someone within that Chicago mob to go out to California and follow Andrew around and slip something in his drink to trigger a heart attack? These far-leftists, they have no shame, they have no honor, and they will do anything — including murder — to further their agenda. Unlike most of you that will read this, I do not choose to trust the liberal-owned, controlled, and financed media. They are the ones that went into the tank for Obama; they are the ones who coordinate with the White House. Now do you really think they would tell the truth about this? Please, tell me another good joke.
Furthermore, I do not trust the Government of California and that goes right down to the morgue. Those bastards are all liberal right down to the grunt workers in the hospitals. Who is to say that Breitbart did not just faint from exhaustion and medics pick him up and take him to the hospital and they realize who he is and they inject him with something to kill him? Tell me; is it wrong to speculate on stuff like this? Is the left above such things? Are Obama and his Chicago men above this? I think not.
I will fully admit, in hindsight, that was not one of my brightest moments. To my weak defense, this was much before I know any damned thing about the Andrew Breitbart's personal health problems. What pisses me off to the high damned heavens is the fact that these damned conspiracy theories are now rampant on the internet that somehow or another Andrew Breitbart was assassinated by President Obama or that somehow or another the Government took him out, because of the videos that Andrew had or whatever those people are now saying. My point is this: I played a minor role in it and now I feel like a complete and utter asshole because of it. I mean, I do not trust the Government anymore the rest of you that happen to read this blog. Nevertheless, I just cannot bear to think that I may have hurt Andrew's wife and kids —because I happened to freak out for a brief second and wrote something before I knew all of the facts.
For the record, I deleted that section of the posting and the tweets that I sent out in that vein of thought, out of respect for the family; but now it seems that Alex Jones is now linking to HotAir.com and their posting, which contained a trackback to me. They see this and think, "Oh he was pressured by Obama to remove his words!" I know this, because I know how those idiots over at Alex Jones's site think.
Therefore, let the record show; I was not ever contacted by the United States Government, the Obama Administration or even the Breitbart family at all. I removed the text that I quoted above because I thought it was the decent, right, honorable thing to do.
Another thing too, is the left — I must say, they have really outdone themselves this time. Matt Taibbi — Seriously, dude? I mean, this man; I actually respected the man for the honest reporting he did about Afghanistan. Then, he goes and writes this about a man, whose dead body is not even in the ground and he writes that? Please, do not try and tell me anything about any sort of idiotic moral equivalence either; because the last time I checked, Andrew Breitbart did not drive any cars off any bridges and leave any of his personal assistances to die in a lake — unlike a Democrat that I know. Sure, Ted Kennedy did much for the middle class, the disabled, and the rest of the damned entitlement groups, as did his family. However, that does not take away from the fact that the man at the very least was a drunken coward.
It is not just Matt Taibbi either; it is the entire moral core of the liberal left in this Country. The proud pro-American moral code of the Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson era has been replaced by the moral decadence of the neo-left. Which is of course, the fruits of the 1960's mantra of "If it feels good, do it" generation. There is no honor, there is no integrity, there is nothing but their little self-righteous game of Frankfort School fake moral code that they live by, which is ripe full off utter and contemptible contradictions. Andrew Breitbart knew this, he rubbed their damned faces in it, with utter schoolboy-like joy, and that is why the liberal left hated his damned guts. It is also why the liberal left hates people like me especially, because I, more than anyone; know their moronic tactics.
Now Andrew Breitbart is gone. The torches always flame out, so they say —- Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, Terry Kath, Woody Guthrie, Christopher Hitchens — and now Andrew Breitbart. The 26 club is the now the 42 club — A good number of people that I know have died at or around the age of 42; and as someone who is aged 39 – it worries me. I have too much to do, I have parents to look after and eventually — bury. This all makes me, a least a little, fret about my health and my future; I do not smoke or drink, so I am good there; my eating habits could be better. However, it is not all Twinkies and candy bars for me, I good eat food, much of it — herein is the problem.
As for the Conservative movement, we are left to pick up the slack, to continue to write about the left and their tactics, their President, their mess, their ruining of the Capitalistic system — their damned open sewer that we the tax payer is left on the hook to pay for. It can be depressing and hazardous to your health, if you let it become that. Sometimes, one needs to walk away from all for a weekend or a week, if need be — to stop smell the roses and tune out of politics for a while. I have done it in the past; I did it for about three days here recently. It felt good, but by Sunday night, I was chomping at the bit to come back and write more. Politics is like nicotine, once it gets into you, you always crave it.
I think the worst thing that we could do, is louse up this election in 2012. Andrew Breitbart would be pissed, if we just "half-assed" the election. We have to win this and run the damned progressives out of Government, at least for four years, and preferably for eight good years. I also think we should not try to channel Breitbart at all. Andrew Breitbart was Andrew Breitbart and we should not try to channel his style or behavior at all. Rush is doing that right now and he is terrible at it! Coulter should be Coulter, Rush should be Rush, Levin should that Levin, Hannity should be Hannity — in our words, be ourselves!
At the same time though, we should not be afraid to speak out; we should be or at least try to be fearless in the face of what we, as Christians, Conservatives, and libertarians know to be evil. We should not be afraid to speak out against the entitlement mentality of the far-left, we should not be afraid to speak out against the idiotic and satanic unchristianizing of America, by the atheist left in this Country. We should not be afraid to speak out against the far lefts unbridled attack on the traditional values of this Country; to Bill O'Reilly's credit, there is a war, and yes, it is on Christmas.
I would put something in here saying that the Conservative blogosphere in Breitbart's memory should try at least amongst ourselves to at least be civil to each other and try to look out for one another. However, I know bloggers, and I know the Conservative Blogosphere; and if you are not in with the "In crowd" you are ignored and in some cases persecuted, lied about, used as a pawn in blog wars and all sorts of other stupidity that comes along with the territory. Believe you me, I know all about it, which is why I tend to stay to myself anymore. I just do not need the trouble with anyone anymore. I am in a situation here, where I cannot come to their functions; and most of them hate me, because of my blue dog Democrat past. Therefore, I just avoid them and their conflicts. I write about what is in my RSS feeds and do my own thing here. I would like to see some unity amongst the right; but that is, I am afraid, a pipe dream — at least with me.
In conclusion: Andrew Breibart was a self-made man. That alone should be enough to make one admire him. He stood up for, and died defending what he believed; for this, he should be remembered.
Rest in peace Andrew, you have more than earned it. We will take it from here and keep America the place you loved — I hope.

Nashville, Tennessee established itself as Music City as long ago as the 1880's - more than 130 years. Anyone who loves and follows music knows immediately that "Music City" is Nashville. The center of Country music has seen triumphs and failure, music awards and tears. Now, with CMT's cable premier of For The Love of Music: The Story of Nashville, the personal stories of this thriving metropolis will be told.
Just knowing that Music City's story begins in the 1800s when the Fisk Jubilee Singers* traveled across continents spreading their music and their historic stories up until today, is a treasure for those who did not know of Music City's beginnings. The film continues all the way to present day Nashville with this new one-hour documentary unfolding the blooming of this vibrant Music City.
As the film continues, it moves on to showcasing those artists that built the foundation of country music, such as Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and more. Nashville's evolution continues with its metamorphisis to a mixture of traditional and new country music. These new artists are breaking barriers and boundaries and are now rooted and sprouting up in the fertile ground of the Nashville scene. Artists like the Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Eric Church and many more have added even more richness to our beloved Nashville "Music City."
CMT's hosting of the new documentary developed by the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation, captures the essence of Music City through the personal stories and interviews of musicians, songwriters, producers and artists who live and breathe Nashville. It will also include previously unreleased interview footage of Keith Urban.
A stellar cast of artists featured in For The Love of Music: The Story of Nashville includes: Fisk Jubilee Singers, Gabe Dixon, Duane Eddy, Emmylou Harris, Jessi Alexander, Charlie Daniels, Bill Anderson, Kris Kristofferson, Marty Stuart, The Black Keys, Eric Church, The Civil Wars, Billy Cox, Steve Cropper, Trent Dabbs, Ben Folds, Peter Frampton, Vince Gill, Tommy Sims, Michael W. Smith, Amy Stroup, Damien Horne, Brett James, JEFF the Brotherhood, Kings of Leon, Manuel, John McBride, Martina McBride, Tim Nichols, Jon Randall, Rivers Rutherford and Keith Urban.
There is even a phone app, The Story of Nashville iPhone app available for downloading the documentary. Automatically listening for and syncing with the film, the app offers enhancement to the story with some great bonus content. Walk in the shoes of Nashville's most famous musicians. This app is part tour guide, part film companion and can take you on a personal tour of Nashville's music hotspots letting you interact with exclusive content while you watch the documentary, "For the Love of Music: The Story of Nashville." Within the Nashville city limits, the app recognizes your location and becomes a walking tour guide, alerting you when a popular rock star hangout or historical hotspot is nearby.
Originally, in late 2013, "For the Love" premiered at the 2013 Nashville Film Festival and aired on ABC (American Broadcasting Company) last fall. To learn more, visit www.visitmusiccity.com/storyofnashville. Created by Butch Spyridon, Chuck Creasy, Deana Ivey and John Gosey.
As CMT describes the documentary, "In the end, this is a film rooted in authenticity. It is a story filled with passion and truth. It is a film made simply for the love of music." It's everything you want to know and love about where dreams can come true – "Music City" Nashville, Tennessee.

Home ∞ Breathing Session ∞ Stories ∞ Health Cures ∞ Testimonials ∞ Journal ∞ Articles ∞ Book ∞Articles 2
updated 5/12/08
Standard definition of ASTHMA:
A disease of the bronchial tubes in which the individual has difficulty in breathing. Most asthmatic attacks are mild, but the condition is a chronic one.
Causes: There are two major causes of asthma The first is an infection of the nose, sinuses, bronchi, or lungs, This results in inherent asthma. The second and more common, type of asthma is caused by an allergic reaction that is usually hereditary in origin. In allergic asthma there is a sensitivity to pollens, house dust, wool, certain foods, etc. while in the ordinary asthma the causes can be stress related.
The title ASTHMA CURE is used to inform those of you who have some form of asthma that there is the possibility of a natural form of relief. Over time as you work with the information below you can determine for yourself if in fact the term cure is accurate. I am making no promises. Having worked with this problem as well as others for over 44 years it is apparent that our knowledge of the body and its ability to heal itself is constantly growing.
Asthma can have a range of intensity from the sensation of the breath being cut off to a mild cough.
Asthma can sometimes dissolve just from the process of learning how to breathe. Breathing, although a function that is considered automatic, which it is if it has to be, is a dynamic that we can learn to use. Asthma can be released as you learn how to breathe correctly. You can use gentle effort to bring breath into the body and work through the feelings of not having enough breath. Rather then having the thought "I can't breathe", see just how much breath (oxygen) you can get in.
When working with someone who has asthma getting them started with full diaphragmatic breathing while lying down is the first step. Once they are comfortable with that pattern of breathing we can explore the causes. Getting the history of when they were aware of having asthma we will try to trace down the time frame of its appearance in their life and see if it relates to being uncomfortable, angry or feeling hindered. Session for working with Full Breathing.
It is important to note that it is not necessary to find out the reason for the problem to treat the problem. Let's remove the arrow, then we can speculate on who shot the arrow.

Fujitsu and Panasonic will merge chip design and development
In order to compete with foreign rivals
SEMICONDUCTOR FIRMS Fujitsu and Panasonic will combine their chip design and development efforts to compete with foreign rivals.
Japan's semiconductor industry has been under seige from foreign vendors that have outpaced them in development and made use of cheaper labour costs, leading to Japanese chip vendors consolidating resources to remain competitive. Now Fujitsu and Panasonic have signed a memorandum of understanding to merge their semiconductor design and development operations.
Fujitsu and Panasonic said that their joint venture already has third party investors helping it to create a new fabless semiconductor company, with the Development Bank of Japan providing investment and financing for the deal.
The two firms said, "In recent years, however, as market conditions have rapidly deteriorated and overseas semiconductor manufacturers have risen in prominence, the system LSI [large scale integration] businesses of Fujitsu Semiconductor and Panasonic have been facing a severe business environment. In light of this situation, Fujitsu and Panasonic have both come to acknowledge that bringing together their respective advanced technologies and customer base is vital to build a competitive business globally."
The joint venture will focus on designing chips for high performance servers, image processing and wireless networks. Fujitsu has been marketing its Sparc chips for high performance computing clusters for several years and it is likely that Fujitsu will continue to design those, however chips for image processing and wireless networking applications arguably hold greater revenue potential for the two firms.
Fujitsu and Panasonic said that they are in "detailed discussions" to quickly finalise a contract. µ

New Richard Avedon Photographs Surface
A new exhibition opening in Rome this weekend offers a fresh glimpse into the mind of fashion photographer Richard Avedon – dozens of previously unseen photographs he shot in the 1940s and 1950s will go on display, including many taken at the same sessions as photographs that appeared in magazines such as Vogue and Glamour.
The show, which opens Feb. 1 in the Musei Capitolini and Villa Medici, features unedited, black-and-white photographs by Mr. Avedon of the late model Anne Theophane Graham, who was one of the photographer's early muses. In the miniature stills, Ms. Graham is pictured in an opulent ballroom, donning a shimmering Christian Dior ballgown, surrounded by party-goers. (The pictures were discovered in a trunk that Ms. Graham owned.)
"They can be seen as if in a film — frame after frame of shots — and you can see what the eye of a great photographer is," Valentina Moncada, an art gallerist and curator of the exhibition told Reuters.
The exhibition opens at a time when fashion photography is getting some serious attention from the museum world. Earlier this month, the International Center of Photography in New York, kicked off a year-long series of exhibitions devoted to the genre.
The various exhibitions include the works of photographers Mr. Avedon, Martin Munkacsi and Edward Steichen and also recent photography spreads for European magazines like French Vogue and Numéro Homme by names such as Hedi Slimane and avant-garde artist Cindy Sherman.
Readers, do you think fashion photography should be taken more seriously?

3M National Student Fellowship
Update 18 March 2016 – We have concluded the adjudication and are now in process of collating scores and adjudicator comments and arriving at a final 10 conclusive top scores. Once we have all that finalized, then we will begin to contact all the applicants to let them know their status relative to the award.
Applicants will receive an email with comments from their adjudicators and an indication of whether or not they will be named a 2016 3MNSF within the next two weeks.
Thank you for your participation in and support of the 3MNSF program.
Maureen Connolly, PhD.
Coordinator, 3MNSF program
Professor, PEKN, Brock University
For many years, 3M Canada has funded scholarships and awards for undergraduates in universities and college across Canada and starting in 2012, 3M added a student fellowship using the long-standing 3M National Teaching Fellowship Program for university professors as a model. The 3M National Student Fellowship Program arose out of consultations and collaboration with the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) Board of Directors and the Council of 3M National Teaching Fellows Executive.
Call for Nominations – 2016 Award
The 3M National Student Fellowship honours up to ten full-time college and undergraduate university students at Canadian institutions who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their lives and at their college or university. These students embrace a vision of quality education that enhances their academic experience and beyond.
Nature of Award
Each cohort member will receive an award of $5,000 to be spent at their discretion. Further, each cohort member will be invited to join the others at the annual conference of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) in June, where they will also participate in a 3M National Student Fellowship Program retreat. Awardees will receive a contribution towards their cost of travel to and accommodation during the conference. While at the conference, they will have the opportunity to develop a cross-Canadian collaborative project with other cohort members with the goal of enhancing teaching and learning at the post-secondary level.
- You are enrolled full-time in a post-secondary college or university diploma or degree program at a Canadian institution.
- You are enrolled in your first program.
- You must have completed at least one full year of study.
- You may not apply during the final year of your degree or diploma.
- Please see Frequently Asked Questions
The adjudication committee considers an applicant's nomination as a unified whole, not simply an assemblage of compartments. Each section of the package should reinforce its overall unity. Narrative flow unfolds and reveals the nominee's character and achievements, and each section adds substance and evidence, constructing a compelling nomination.
Because this is an educational leadership award, the package's greatest challenge is defining and demonstrating educational leadership, which goes beyond transcripts, lists of committees chaired, and clubs and/or groups joined. The individual will have to be "brought to life" through concrete evidence, examples, quotes, compelling anecdotes, persuasive support letters, and the inspiring believability of the nominee's own words. Tell the story of yourself as a learner, a thought-provoker, a visionary, and a community member in action. Do not over-use disciplinary or academic jargon.
The adjudication committee is interested in applications reflecting the applicant's creativity, distinctiveness and personality, and shedding light on an exceptional leadership profile. The nominator (see below) is encouraged to "make a case" for the applicant's leadership profile by connecting the material within the package to show how the applicant is deserving of this Fellowship. See the additional material "What Adjudicators are Looking For: Tips for Students and Nominators" to see more about what adjudicators are looking for when they read each file.
Application Procedure
Formatting and page limits:
Nomination packages are not to exceed fifteen (15) numbered pages, including all material requested. A package in excess of 15 pages will not be considered. The package must be submitted using 2.54 cm (1″) margins, double-spaced (except for letters which may be single- or double-spaced) in 12 point Times New Roman font. No video, web content or web links will be accepted. The only material to be included that does not count as part of the 15 pages is your transcripts (Section 3 below).
Here is a checklist/template of what to include:
Cover Page
Nomination Letters, Letters of Support and Statement from Vice-President of Students (or person in equivalent role).
Nomination letter: Written by a person of the candidate's choice. Self-authored letters of nomination are not accepted.
Letters of support: The number of letters is up to the candidate. Letters should complement the narrative flow. Effective nominations will demonstrate the nominee's excellence with concrete examples and not repeat information.
All letters, which must include signatures and, if from an institution or organization, be on letterhead, are part of the 15-page limit. They may be single- or double-spaced.
Statement from Vice-President of Students (or person in equivalent role, such as Vice-Provost (Students) or Associate Vice-President (Students): Your nomination package must be viewed in its entirely by the Vice-President of Students or person in an equivalent role at your institution. They then write one statement, noting that they have seen your complete nomination package, adding their name, role and signature.
Academic Performance
You must be in good standing academically, in your program and in your institution. Please provide institutional transcripts for one year of post-secondary education, plus all available grades from the first term/semester of your current year. Transcripts are not part of the 15-page limit. If there are anomalies on your transcripts, briefly explain them in this section.
"Leadership" by itself is not a term that has easily identifiable boundaries. For this reason, it is impossible to provide a precise definition. It is important to describe your leadership capacity and leadership potential in relationship to other people. Therefore, a quantifiable list of activities/events/situations/experiences that a student was "in charge" of does not prove leadership in the context of this award. Please describe and demonstrate your personal leadership profile by considering different examples of your capacity for leadership beyond being in the position of "boss."
As part of your package, please provide a definition of leadership in the context of your educational experience. The definition should then be applied in detail and creatively through examples of personal activities drawn from your time in post-secondary study. Please do not use jargon or abstract description of leadership, in general; instead, paint a picture of who you are as a leader using clear examples from your experience.
Explain why you aspired to these leadership roles. Your examples should demonstrate how your initiatives have led to, or been part of leading, events in the post-secondary environment.
Challenges in Post-Secondary Education
Describe the most significant challenges in your institution based upon your personal experience. How do these challenges impede learning? What are the possible concrete solutions to these challenges? What are the biggest challenges facing post-secondary education in Canada, as a whole? If you had the resource capacity, how would you implement concrete solutions to these challenges?
Transformational Educational Experiences
Describe one or a few experiences that you have had outside of the classroom and off your campus. Describe how these experiences influence your academic performance, your attitudes toward teaching and learning, and your approach to leadership. You may wish to reference educational issues beyond your immediate environment.
Awards and Recognition
Describe academic or non-academic awards or recognitions you have received, not simply listing them, but contextualizing them to show how this record aligns with your leadership and transformational educational experiences.
Selection Process
Packages will be reviewed by a team of adjudicators comprised of students, faculty and staff members, including 3M National Student Fellows and National Teaching Fellows, from post-secondary institutions across Canada.
Submission Deadline and File Naming Protocol
Packages should be submitted electronically on or before Friday, 29 January 2016, 5:00 P.M. Eastern.
Please name the file using the following protocol: 3MNSF_FAMILYNAME, Firstname.pdf, for example: 3MNSF_SMITH, Heather.pdf
- Hard copies will not be accepted.
- The complete nomination package, with all seven items noted above, should be submitted electronically in a single PDF through the following location:
- All packages received here will be acknowledged upon receipt by an automated email reply so applicants will know their submissions have been received. We anticipate being able to publicly announce the 2016 3M NSF cohort in mid-March, 2016.
For publicity and promotion, please note that if you are named a 3M National Student Fellow:
- Your email address will be shared publicly
- We will require a high resolution (500 pixels minimum at 72 ppi) digital 'head shot' with a plain background
- We will require a 50-word and a 200-word "citation", describing yourself

Fourth-ranked UCLA outlasted NAIA power Cal Baptist in five games Wednesday night in a non-league contest in Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins won 30-23, 22-30, 30-25, 20-30, 15-11 in two hours and 13 minutes in front of 423 rowdy fans. The victory raised the Bruins' overall record to 16-10. The Lancers fell to 18-10.
Tough serving and solid hitting in Game 5 pulled the Bruins through this match. UCLA served two aces against zero errors and hit .474 (10-1-19) in the final game to edge a hot Cal Baptist team. The Lancers committed a pair of service errors and were called for a blocking error in Game 5, three points which proved to be the difference in the match.
Cal Baptist out-hit UCLA .390 to .272 and won the blocking battle 14.0-9.0. The Bruins did not block a ball in the final two games.
Three UCLA players amassed double-digit kills, led by senior Paul George and second-year freshman Brett Perrine who each recorded 15. Perrine scored a career-high 20.0 points, adding an ace and six total blocks. He also led the Bruins in attack percentage at .667. Senior Steve Klosterman added 10 kills and 13 points.
CBU's Shamsu Awudu led both teams with 25 kills (.476), followed by 23 from Donald Balaiba.
On Fri., Apr. 6, the Bruins host No.2 UC Irvine. UCLA will end its regular season home schedule on Wed., Apr. 11 against Long Beach State. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion.

We are a team of guerrilla fundraisers who have launched a global campaign to fund research into a potential treatment for the cancer that killed Steve Jobs.
The potential therapy, a cancer-busting virus, which if successfully developed could significantly extend the lives of patients with the same cancer as Steve Jobs, is currently sitting in a freezer in Sweden – but it can't be tested for lack of just £2million.
Without the money, the research will cease and the virus will be thrown away, placing in jeopardy a therapy that could significantly extend the lives of thousands of NET cancer sufferers.
We've put this campaign together in a little over a week. We have no money behind us and everybody is volunteering their time for free. So there is no fancy website, now motivational wristband and no rock concert.
It's just us, the scientists, the virus and you.

SE Xperia Play and Xperia Arc can be now pre-ordered at Three UK
Not long after Vodafone posted pre-order pages for the Xperia Play and Xperia Arc, Three UK has now done the same.
Sony Ericsson's new Android smartphones are a bit more expensive at Three than at Vodafone.
For example, the Xperia Arc can be yours for free only if you choose a data plan of at least £35 per month (a 2-yr contract if required, of course).
The Xperia Play can be yours for either £49 (on an unlimited data plan of £40 per month), or £99 (with a Text 500 plan of £35 per month).
Both the new Xperia handsets should be available at Three starting April 1. You can pre-order the Xperia Play here, and the Xperia Arc here.

Curtiss Model K, In-line 4 Engine
Curtiss Model K
Among the most successful early engines marketed in the United States were those designed and built by aviation pioneer and inventor Glenn Curtiss in his factory in Hammondsport, New York. Curtiss introduced the Model K in 1911. This engine was an enlarged and improved version of an earlier Curtiss in-line air- and water-cooled power plant. Each cylinder in the engine had a single push rod and rocker arm, which operated the inlet and exhaust valves.
The Model K powered the Curtiss Type D pusher airplane, the U.S. Army's second aircraft after the 1909 Wright Military Flyer.

In a grant application for $258,024 in federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") to receive a Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack vehicle ("BEARCAT"), the City of Concord and its police department claimed: "The State of New Hampshire's experience with terrorism slants primarily towards the domestic type. We are fortunate that our State has not been victimized from a mass casualty event from an international terrorism strike however on the domestic front, the threat is real and here. Groups such as the Sovereign Citizens, Free Staters and Occupy New Hampshire are active and present daily challenges. Outside of officially organized groups, several homegrown clusters that are anti-government and pose problems for law enforcement agencies." Like many people in New Hampshire and beyond, I was outraged at these fraudulent claims. On August 2, 2013, I made the following demands on behalf of the 14,650+ FSP participants to the City of Concord (Thomas Aspell and Brian LeBrun) and the Police Chief (John Duval): 1. A retraction and amendment of the grant application to remove all references to 'Free Staters'. You are reminded that a condition of receipt of the grant's funding is: 'Funding may be suspended or terminated for filing a false certification in this application or other reports or document as part of this program.' 2. An itemized list by calendar day of the 'daily challenges' presented by 'Free Staters' to the CPD. Please list individuals, not a class of people. 3. A written letter of apology from both the City and CPD, which includes the following statements: 'The Free State Project is not a domestic terrorist organization,' and 'Free Staters do not pose 'daily challenges' to the Concord Police Department. Chief Duval soon backpedaled, but has yet to issue a formal written apology as requested, or meet any of the other demands. He did have this to say: "The three organizations that I mentioned … I do not believe they are terrorist groups. I don't know how clearer I can say that. I don't believe that they are … it was a poorly worded sentence and paragraph and I'm sorry for that." "While he stands by the basic premise that there are situations where the Bearcat is needed in the Central NH ops unit, Duval apologized for any offense citing the groups may have caused. He said that he was limited to three pages of space to explain why the unit needed the Bearcat and that limited the amount of text he was able to offer in the request." "Duval said that interpretation takes his views out of context. But that section "should have been more adequately explained," he said. "I'll be explicit: I do not think that those three organizations that were mentioned as examples are domestic terrorist groups," Duval said. "We have groups and organizations, and there are many, many others – those are just three examples – that because of their view, at times, create a polarizing situation." Yesterday, I sent the following email to the same City of Concord recipients (and copied the NHCLU): "Dear Sirs, Before the Free State Project pursues further action regarding the fraudulent, false and misleading grant application CFDA #97.067 you submitted in support of your Concord Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack vehicle application, I'm making one final request that you do the right thing. I strongly recommend you retract and amend the grant to remove all mentions of the Free State Project and/or "Free Staters." It is absolutely unacceptable to defame and profile an organization and its participants in the manner you have, and [I] trust you understand the severity of making fraudulent claims in grants. You have created a public record with the DHS which brands "Free Staters" as "domestic terrorists," and I, along with the 14,500+ participants [as of this posting, now 14,650] of our peaceful movement, will not tolerate it. I don't mean to overstate the issue, but I'm not going to back down about getting that wording removed from the grant. I'm hopeful we can solve this amicably by you simply retracting and amending the grant application before Monday, August 12, when your BEARCAT hearing is scheduled. If you have not provided documented proof of amending the application to me via email by Noon on Friday, August 9, 2013, I will publicly call for your resignations, and lodge a formal complaint with the DHS Office of the Inspector General. Thank you for your attention to this important matter." This morning on NHPR's "The Tussle Over Police Tactics", where I was given only a few minutes to speak, Duval added these comments: "I have said it several times in the last couple of weeks, the application, some of my thinking, the rationale for my needs, was keeping it to three pages or less... in a limited way, I attempted to state a case, it was interpreted that I was calling certain groups terrorist groups... I do not believe they are terrorist organizations." "I accept responsibility... I missed the mark in what I was trying to communicate." Asked whether he was willing to amend the application, Duval said: "It's not too late, and I'm looking to do that, we're working on that, and again, I will reiterate, I accept responsibility for a poorly worded grant, I do stand by, um, you know, my thoughts about, things are different now than they were years ago.... and law enforcement is forced to be prepared for those things... and Concord being the capital city, the hub for protests and everything else, I would be remiss to, if I didn't prepare, if I didn't prepare adequately for that..." Listen to the whole interview here. Although Duval now apparently takes responsibility for what he said, he still has not apologized. Police hold us accountable for the things we do, and you can be assured if we committed the same grave misstatements on governmental paperwork--even accidentally--we'd be shown very little, if any, leniency--and would likely end up incarcerated. Duval, as chief of police of the state's capital, should be held to an even higher standard. He, in his official capacity, made serious misrepresentations to the Department of Homeland Security regarding, by his own admittance, false terrorism threats. Imagine if you had done this. Does he believe his actions do not warrant an apology? The question also begs to be asked: If they're labeling Free Staters and Occupiers as terrorists in secret government documents, who else is being treated the same way? Muslim groups? Raw milk dispensers? Tea Partiers who have already been targeted by the IRS? I am willing to stick to my offer to give the City and Chief Duval until Noon tomorrow to amend the false and misleading grant application. However, a concerned NH resident and Free Stater (and eager beaver!) filed his own complaint, and forwarded this confirmation email to me late this afternoon: "You recently submitted a complaint to the DHS OIG via the OIG's online website. Your Complaint number is: C1313879. Complaints received at the OIG are reviewed to determine if DHS OIG investigation, or referral to a more appropriate entity, is warranted. If the allegation does not fall within the scope of DHS OIG's jurisdiction, then that information may be forwarded to the appropriate agency or authority for their review. This notification is not an indication your Complaint will be investigated by the DHS OIG or any other applicable investigating body. It is suggested you maintain a copy of this message for your records." While I wait until Noon on Friday, August 9, 2013, to see whether the City and the police department will do the right thing, I wonder whether you are as concerned as I am that Chief Duval openly admits to planning to use BEARCATs at political protests? If Concord law enforcement officials are willing to misrepresent the facts in an official DHS grant application to this extent, what else are they hiding? If we have to ask these questions about the leader of our state capital's police force, should law-abiding taxpayers really be funding these tanks? The BEARCAT hearing will be held on Monday, August 12, 2013 at 41 Green Street in Concord. Please arrive by 6 p.m. You can RSVP here.

The video for "Hit The Lights," the second single from Jay Sean's forthcoming album Freeze Time, has landed. You would think that a Lil Wayne-assisted track would occasion a video that, while it might not be a Hype Williams extravaganza, would at least have something representing "production values." You'd be wrong in this case! This clip is, in part, seemingly set in a dance club in the minutes after it opens its doors and the place isn't that crowded and the desperation of everyone inside is maximally obvious; then it adjourns to CGI Make-Out-Land for the rest of its non-dance-routine scenes. One thing that remains constant, though: the feeling of this whole enterprise being done on the cheap.
Yeesh, that is low-quality that shines through even over lower-quality Internet video lines. Although perhaps the aesthetic is deliberately retro; after all, someone on the clip's production team clearly has an affection for the old HBO open, back when the channel was called "pay TV" and didn't broadcast 24 hours a day:

The Roanoke Rails and the New River Roadrunners have quickly developed a new and exciting local baseball rivalry. Both teams boast players from Southwestern Virginia locales, and a sprinkle of out of town talent, to their rosters. The Roadrunners, new to the Carolina Virginia Collegiate Summer League this season, were impressive in their debut at Kiwanis field, snatching a 6-5 walk-off win against the Rails. Tonight, it was the Rails turn to flip the scoreboard.
For the Rails, second year player Zack Kelly (Concord U) had the mound for this nine inning affair, facing former Rails pitcher Dylan Raymond. Lincoln Evans (Lynchburg College) got the Rails going early with a bad hop base hit to left field, stole second and ended up scoring on a Roadrunner error. Will Kaufman (Cal U of PA) drove in Nic Ratliff (Bluefield College) with the second run of the game with a single to right field.
Kelly held New River quiet for the next two innings, however, a single by Carlos Diaz an infield error and an infield out knotted the game at two runs apiece.
The game came down to the bottom of the eighth inning where DJ Russ's (Emory and Henry) one out single gave the Rails a base runner and back to back walks to Zach McNally (Southern Virginia) and Keith Yancey (Bluefield College), loaded the sacks for Eastern Mennonite's Griffin Stanley (above). Coach Jeremy Sink then reached into his bag of tricks and dialed up a perfect squeeze bunt by Stanley giving the Rails a 4-3 lead heading to the ninth.
The visitors would face Rails closer Steve "Big Cat" Ball in the ninth and become his latest victim. A ground ball, an infield single and two strike outs, sent the Roadrunner's back to the road with a well- played 3-2 loss.
On Father's Day afternoon, the Rails would face yet another newly minted CVCL team; The Montreat Mountaineers. Brandon Creesy (Arizona Christian) coming off a one hitter against Catawba, would square off against D-1 hurler T.J. Fussell (Western Carolina).
From the first play of the game (a dropped pop-up) the Rails seemed doomed. In all, the Rails made five errors in the first inning and staked Montreat to four runs on one hit. Sadly, the rest of the game followed course. Fussell was overpowering striking out six in four and one third innings, and pitching around Rails clean-up hitter Will Kaufman. A Lincoln Evans double spoiled Fussel's no-hitter bid and Zach McNally recorded another base hit off Fussell and scored on a ground ball by Paul Williams (Concord University). Lincoln Evans shot a double to right.
One bright spot came from Alec Brown (/Patrick Henry HS/Southern Virginia) the only high school player on the Rails roster this year, who pitched a perfect sixth inning in relief. The final score was 12-1 in favor of the Mountaineers.
The night cap game belonged to the boys in sky blue, your Roanoke Rails. Michael Mnich (Alderson & Broaddus) the Rails starter in game two had a couple of uneven outings earlier in the season, however, tonight was vintage Mnich, changing speeds and showing near perfect control on the mound.
The first few innings of the game produced no runs for either team, until Mikey Wallman (Randolph Macon) led off the bottom of third with a first pitch solo home run over the left field wall. Griffin Stanley followed with a walk and advanced to third on Chad Frazier's (Francis Marion) single. Wallman's college teammate, Christian Sanderson then scored Stanley and moved Frazier into scoring position. Joey Sutphin's (Hampden-Sydney) sacrifice fly would plate Frazier to post a three run lead for the Rails.
Mnich worked five full innings yielding two hits, no walks and added six strikeouts. The Rails bullpen responded with three shutout innings from Easton Riggs (Ferrum College), Kyle Goddard (Christopher Newport) and Ball to salvage a split with the hard hitting group from Asheville, North Carolina.
The Rails tangle with the scrappy New River Roadrunners again this Wednesday at 6:00 pm at KIwanis Field in Salem.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III Android 4.4 KitKat update now rolling out
Another day, another KitKat update. It does seem like every 24 hours we get news about a new rollout of Google's newest version of Android, but all of these come after many months in which we had no such news. After all, KitKat was made official in October last year.
So all of these updates have been a long time coming. This time around, the happy recipient of the new bits is Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S III. While for the international models there's been some controversy as to whether the Galaxy S III would ever get updated to this version of the OS, all the units sold by US carriers should receive it.
And Sprint has been the fastest out of the gate with it. The rollout is an over-the-air affair as you'd expect, and it's begun today. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get the update notification within a few hours. These things are usually staggered, so it may take a few days for it to reach your particular device.
Sprint hasn't issued a changelog for the update yet, only saying that it's KitKat we're talking about. After applying the update, you'll be on software version L710VPUCND8.

I had the opportunity to do an exclusive interview with T. Lahma the nephew of legendary singer Bobby Brown. In this interview he talks about his music and being a member of the Brown family.
Yes, this is amazing! We have another member of the Brown family that's very talented! His name is T. Lahma. First let me ask you how long have you been rapping?
I've been rapping since 10. I can even remember my first rhyme.
What is the meaning behind the name T. Lahma? And how does it represent you?
T. Lahma actually came about from an inside joke, that, you can say transpired into life. You have the Dahli Llama, the Buddhist Monk that represents the inner peace and wisdom I seek everyday. Then, you have the animal Llama that as we all know spits, that's what I do. I spit like an animal. So bring it all together and there you have T. Lahma.
You are also the nephew of the legendary R&B singer Bobby Brown, and the son of Tommy Brown. Did Bobby also inspire you to want to become an entertainer?
Of course he did! He gave me my first taste of what it's like. I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Not necessarily the celebrity aspect of it, but more so the ability to be able to inspire people with his music.
Why did you choose rap?
I wouldn't say I chose rap, I'd like to think the ability to rap chose me. I believe I have an extraordinary story to tell, and I'm fortunate enough to know how to verbally tell it. It's something that just comes natural to me I guess.
Why not an R&B singer, like your Uncle?
Well, if you can give GOD a holler, and tell him to bless me with strong vocal cords like he did my uncle, then maybe I'll change arenas.
Me, Myself, and I also rap, how is your music different from theirs?
Well, the message is pretty much the same, being were just a group of young brothers striving to get ahead in life, and just giving the people a look into our world. I think the point of views are the fine line that separates us as artists and, as well as men. I think every person expresses his/her experiences differently.
Since you are also a member of the Brown family, do you feel like you're in competition with Me, Myself, and I, who are also members of the family? If so, why? If not why?
It's not competition when you're both striving towards the same goal. At the end of the day, we are family, and it's not about we as individuals getting our shine on, but rather as a family unit. I think or even better I know we push each other when we are recording. It's funny because we truly believe we are our own competition, but in the same since it's not as if we are competing against each other.
Will you collaborate with Me, Myself, and I?
Of course I will It's all C.M.G. In fact, I already have.
Is there anyone else in the music industry that you would like to collaborate with? Is there anyone in particular?
Wow! Too many to name. I listen to a wide variety of music so it really just depends on the day. But of course Jay-Z, JadaKiss, Pink Floyd, and Norah Jones, Me, Myself, and I of course. Bad joke I know, but I want to work with true musicians.
What makes your music different from Me, Myself, and I? What about other rappers in the music industry?
My sound, style, and life experiences are different. I think it's how I put my flow together, not to brag too much but I'm nice.
Are you working on any music right now? If so when can we expect to hear it?
Yeah I'm cooking up something wicked over here. Fans can expect a fourth quarter release.
How can fans reach out to hear your music?
You can reach me on twitter @t_lahmacmg or Facebook the official T. Lahma fan page.
If you would like to see T. Lahma perform live you can check him out at the Chez-Vous RollerWay on August 1, 2011, Showtime is 8pm-12am. For more information call (617) 825-6877. Video in 3D! Come be a part of the T. Lahma experience!

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate optimal monoenergetic dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) settings for artefact reduction of posterior spinal fusion implants of various vendors and spine levels. METHODS: Posterior spinal fusion implants of five vendors for cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine were examined ex vivo with single-energy (SE) CT (120 kVp) and DECT (140/100 kVp). Extrapolated monoenergetic DECT images at 64, 69, 88, 105 keV and individually adjusted monoenergy for optimised image quality (OPTkeV) were generated. Two independent radiologists assessed quantitative and qualitative image parameters for each device and spine level. RESULTS: Inter-reader agreements of quantitative and qualitative parameters were high (ICC = 0.81-1.00, κ = 0.54-0.77). HU values of spinal fusion implants were significantly different among vendors (P < 0.001), spine levels (P < 0.01) and among SECT, monoenergetic DECT of 64, 69, 88, 105 keV and OPTkeV (P < 0.01). Image quality was significantly (P < 0.001) different between datasets and improved with higher monoenergies of DECT compared with SECT (V = 0.58, P < 0.001). Artefacts decreased significantly (V = 0.51, P < 0.001) at higher monoenergies. OPTkeV values ranged from 123-141 keV. OPTkeV according to vendor and spine level are presented herein. CONCLUSIONS: Monoenergetic DECT provides significantly better image quality and less metallic artefacts from implants than SECT. Use of individual keV values for vendor and spine level is recommended. KEY POINTS: • Artefacts pose problems for CT following posterior spinal fusion implants. • CT images are interpreted better with monoenergetic extrapolation using dual-energy (DE) CT. • DECT extrapolation improves image quality and reduces metallic artefacts over SECT. • There were considerable differences in monoenergy values among vendors and spine levels. • Use of individualised monoenergy values is indicated for different metallic hardware devices.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Murley, Mike (Michael David)
Murley, Mike (Michael David), tenor and soprano saxophonist; b. Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada, 12 December 1961.
A warm, innately lyrical player considered by Mark Miller to be one of the most compelling soloists of his generation, Mike Murley began his study of the saxophone at the age of twelve, studying with noted Canadian altoist Don Palmer in his teens. In 1981, Murley relocated to Toronto to attend York University, continuing his studies under Pat Labarbera and, at the Banff Summer Jazz Workshop, with Dave Holland and Dave Liebman. With the assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts, Murley relocated to New York in 1988- 1989, pursuing further studies with Liebman, Holland and Joe Lovano. In 1984, Murley, along with alto and baritone saxophonist Rich Underhill, drummer Stich Wynston and tenor saxophonist Dave Parker, formed the wildly successful group the Shuffle Demons. The band made a name for itself busking on the streets of Toronto, and soon became a jazz success story, adding bassist Jim Vivian for festival engagements, embarking on a European tour in 1985, reworking the Hockey Night in Canada Theme with such verve that it was picked up for use in Maple Leaf Gardens, and receiving airplay on Much Music for their video Spadina Bus. Murley would appear on three of the group's eventual six albums, but would leave the Shuffle Demons in 1989 to further his independent projects. Concurrent to his activity with the Shuffle Demons, Murley joined Time Warp in 1985, recording five albums with the group from 1987-1999. In 1990, Murley began to play in the Barry Elmes Quintet, a Time Warp off shoot with which he still occasionally pla ys and records, having left Time Warp in 2001. In 1987, Murley co-founded the cooperative record label Unity with pianist Brian Dickinson and trumpeter John MacLeod. In 1991, Murley received the prestigious Canadian Juno Award for best jazz album (Two Sides), and has since appeared on seven other Juno winning recordings. Following the demise of Unity Records, Murley co-founded another cooperative label, Cornerstone, this time with drummer Barry Elmes and bassist Al Henderson. His 1995 album Conversation Piece was named jazz album of the year by Jazz Report Magazine in 1997, an organization which has also made Murley a four-time recipient of the award for Tenor Saxophonist of the Year. In 1996, Murley joined Metalwood which, formed by bassist Chris Tarry and trumpeter/keyboardist Brad Turner, and including New York drummer Ian Froman, received Juno Awards for Best Contemporary Jazz Album for their first two releases Metalwood and Metalwood 2 in 1998 and 1999 respectively.
Murley's latest release Live at the Senator received the 2002 Juno ward for Best Mainstream Jazz Album and, accompanied by legendary guitarist Ed Bickert and bassist Steve Wallace, heralds Murley's artistic maturity and original, untrammelled lyrical approach to both standard material and original compositions. Also in 2002, Murley received the Canadian National Jazz Award for saxophonist of the year and, with the Juno Award winning Rob McConnell Tentet, was nominated for a 2002 Grammy Award. Murley has performed and/or recorded with such international artists as Kenny Wheeler, Randy Brecker, Jack McDuff, Doctor John, John Abercrombie, Paul Bley, Dave Douglas, Renee Rosnes and Bill Stewart, and has recorded with such Canadian artists as the Maritime Jazz Orchestra, Sonny Greenwich, the Barry Elmes Quintet, the David Braid Sextet, Joe Sealy, NOJO and Brian Dickinson. One of the nation's most popular saxophonists, Murley has been featured at every major Canadian Jazz Festival, has given command performances at the Canadian Embassy in Washington DC and Expo1992 in Spain, and has toured Europe, South America and Asia. Most recently, Murley has been featured in the critically acclaimed David Braid Sextet, has developed a well received duo project with Toronto based guitarist David Occhipinti, and continues to work with his own quintet, a group which concentrates on the performance of original compositions.
In July 2004, Murley was invited to perform as part of Solos: The Jazz Sessions - a series (produced for Bravo: Canada's Arts Network) which captures thirteen renown jazz artists in the challenging solo performance format. In addition to Mike Murley, other artists featured in the series include international luminaries such as saxophonist Joe Lovano, guitarist Bill Frisell, and pianists Brad Mehldau and Andrew Hill.

Jeremy Meeks found fame on social media this week for a very strange reason. His photo has gone viral because of his good looks. While that may not be strange, this part of the story is. The photo of Meeks that is being swooned over is actually his mug shot that was taken by law enforcement officials. It's the photo that was taken and posted after the 30-year-old felon was arrested on Wednesday, according to USA Today on Thursday.
Meeks was arrested on felony weapons charges during a sweep in the Weston Ranch part of Stockton, Washington on Wednesday. As of this week, Meeks is apparently the most popular suspect to ever be posted on the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page. As of Thursday night, after no more than a day of having his mug shot posted on the page, Meeks' photo received more than 32,000 likes and more than 10,000 comments.
Most of the comments have to do with people stating that he think he is a very good-looking man. The comments seem to think the suspect is blessed with high cheekbones, a chiseled face, and striking blue eyes, as Meeks is aptly described by Yahoo! News. Those who look closer will see a teardrop tattoo near the left eye – which could mean gang affiliation, of course.
Some of the comments also suggest that he would do much better as a model instead of allegedly working crime – in which he is getting caught. Perhaps, when Meeks hears about his sudden fame, he'll rethink his purpose in life when and if he is set free. He is being held in the San Joaquin County Jail on $900,000 bail.
Meek's arrest is all part of the Stockton Police Department's multi-agency Operation Ceasefire enforcement mission. The aim is to reduce crime in the City of Stockton. The success of the operation is credited to a variety of agencies including the Stockton Police Department's Gang Violence Suppression United, the County Wide Gang Task Force, and authorities from agencies in neighboring areas of Stockton. Since Meeks has gone viral, he claims he's not all that bad, yet TMZ has found a lengthy rap sheet on him and claims he has gang ties.

- abstract
Parimutuel betting markets are simplified financial markets, and can thus provide a clearer view of pricing issues which are more complicated elsewhere. Though empirical studies generally conclude that the parimutuel betting markets are surprisingly efficient, it is also found that for horses with lowest odds (favorites), market estimates of winning probabilities are smaller than objective winning probabilities; for horses with highest odds (longshot), the opposite is observed. This phenomenon, called the favorite longshot bias, has many explanations such as risk seeking preference, transaction costs, and non-linear transformation of probabilities into decision weights, etc. This paper combines loss aversion with mental accounting, and provides a new explanation for the favorite longshot bias. We show that the bias exists in the absence of all above mentioned reasons, and the degree of the bias differs depending on the type of the mental accounting process that bettors apply.
