Fidget Your Way to Fitness?
Diet Blog sums up NEAT's latest newsletter. Here are some tidbits:
- In a study, sedentary lean and overweight people were fitted with "magical" underwear which monitored every movement of the body. Subjects were fed 1000 calories above their weight maintenance levels. People who can activate their NEAT don't gain fat when overfed, while those who don't switch on their NEAT were gaining literally 10 times more fat!
- About 30% of a person's daily expenditure comes from NEAT. (The other portions are from basal metabolism and thermic effect of eating). Those who are active have higher percentages of NEAT. This is the factor we have control over.
- NEAT burns more calories than exercise in most non-athletes.
- Levine suggests that offices, schools and other public places need to be more conducive to activity. Some ideas are walking workstations and walk-and-meet tracks, where carpet tape is laid down to map out a walking route.

Marcus Berry, 56, was arrested Wednesday evening August 12, 2009. He is being charged with kidnapping and lewd molestation of a minor child. Again. Read more and see his mugshot below.
Marcus Berry Sr
Marcus Berry is a twice convicted child molester, with convictions in 1986 and 1993. He entered the prison system in November of 1993 after being sentenced to 30 years for the molestation of a child. Due to the earned credit system, where convicts receive time off their sentence for good behavior, he was released after a month shy of 13 years. Berry became a free man on Oct. 3, 2006 and was placed on the sex offender registry.
Marcus Berry was arrested again this past Wednesday night when two alert police officers out patrolling a remote area happened to notice his pick-up truck. They were unaware at the time that a child was missing, it simply seemed odd to them to see the truck where it was. After approaching the truck, they discovered Berry with his pants down and the two year old partially clothed.
In their police report it states that Berry shouted "Kill me. Just f—— kill me now!"
Quite frankly I wonder how they refrained from doing so. One officer handcuffed Berry, the other scooped the child up in her arms.
Moments later, they heard the call about a kidnapped child matching the description of the toddler they just rescued. She had been taken from her gated front yard.
Representative Rex Duncan of Oklahoma now plans to do something about this catch and release syndrome we seem to have with pedophiles.
Representative Rex Duncan plans to introduce legislation that would allow the death penalty for sentencing if someone is convicted of a sex crime involving children more than once. The announcement comes on the heels of the arrest of Marcus Berry, Senior, a two-time sex offender who avoided jail time despite being accused of failing to register.
Records also show that Berry has been charged with violating the sex-offender registration law twice since he was released from prison in 2006. A jury acquitted him of the first charge based on his defense of being homeless and therefore unable to register an address. He was convicted of the second charge and sentenced in July 2008 to two years of probation.
In my opinion this is one of the better and more realistic idea's for dealing with pedophiles. It has been proven time and again that no matter how hard anyone tries, pedophiles cannot be cured, or fixed….ask them and they will admit they do not want to be.
Marcus Berry has been charged with kidnapping and lewd molestation of a minor child again and is being held on a million dollar bail. While he faces life if convicted, do you honestly think he will serve that sentence?
Our society cannot keep catching and releasing these people. They have organized and are demanding civil rights, comparing themselves to the gay movement. They think they are *born this way*. I believe that is but one of a litany of excuses. Their constant mantra is 'we love children". Were that true, there would be no raping and sexual exploitation of our children. There would be no child/kiddie porn, or a market for it. They would be giving their lives to save a child from harm, as would most of us.
We need a solution. Our children need rights more than these criminals, and I think we should get behind any legislation that has protecting children as it's goal. We need to overhaul our sex offender registries, eliminate those that truly do not belong on it, and concentrate on closing the loopholes on those that do.
What are your thoughts? And no, one gun, one bullet = no problem is not a viable solution.

OKLAHOMA CITY (May 13, 2011) – The Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) during its quarterly meeting approved funding for 15 new grants in the Communities of Excellence Nutrition and Fitness program. These new grants, awarded to community coalitions, will serve 21 counties across the state. The board approved $1.35 million for the first funding cycle of the five year program.
Coalitions receiving funding in the Communities of Excellence in Nutrition and Fitness are:
Atoka/Coal Partnership for Change serving Atoka and Coal Counties
Bryan County Turning Point serving Bryan County
Carter County Turning Point serving Carter County
Cleveland County Turning Point serving Cleveland County
Family Health Coalition serving Tulsa County
Fit Communities – Love and Johnston Consortium serving Love and Johnston Counties
Fit Kids of Southwest Oklahoma serving Comanche County
Jackson County Community Health Action Team serving Jackson County
Kiowa Coalition and Caddo County Interagency Coalition serving Kiowa and Caddo Counties
Logan County Partnership serving Logan County
Muskogee County Turning Point serving Muskogee County
Oklahoma Unified Resources (OUR) Turning Point Coalition serving Beckham and Rogers Counties.
Okmulgee County Wellness Coalition serving Okmulgee County
Tri-County Consortium serving McCurtain, Choctaw and Pushmataha Counties
Wellness Now Coalition serving Oklahoma County
"These grants are an important step forward in the fulfillment of TSET's strategic plan," said Ken Rowe, TSET Board of Directors Chair. "We are very excited about launching the new Communities of Excellence in Nutrition and Fitness to complement the work already being funded in tobacco prevention and cessation across the state. Communities are ready to address health issues, such as poor nutrition and lack of physical activity, which have negative impacts on the individuals, families and businesses in our own towns. Through these grants, we will begin to see healthier people, healthier communities and a healthier Oklahoma."
The Communities of Excellence in Nutrition and Fitness program funds community-based coalitions to work with schools, communities, workplaces and businesses to implement effective policies and programs that promote opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity. The grants will begin with a 15 month start-up/planning period. Funding in future implementation years will see an increase in funds awarded to coalitions based on population and strategic plans.
Over the five-year granting cycle, grantees will be encouraged to creatively and innovatively implement promising and best practices, strategies and interventions within communities based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and other scientific sources, that have promise or have proven to increase healthy eating and physical activity. The ultimate goal is an eventual reduction in Oklahoma's increasing obesity rates, and the resulting physical and financial toll on individuals, communities, and the State of Oklahoma.
In addition to direct financial support to the grantees, training and technical assistance to support the grantees will be provided in partnership with the Oklahoma State Department of Health Turning Point Initiative, Strong and Healthy Oklahoma Division, and experts from a variety of organizations currently involved in promoting healthy eating and active living in Oklahoma communities. An external evaluation of the program will be provided through the Oklahoma State University Department of Nutritional Sciences.

House Speaker John Boehner pushed back on remarks by Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to President Barack Obama, with an aide telling Newsmax on Friday that no "commitment" exists between the Ohio Republican and the White House on passing immigration reform legislation after the summer primary elections.
"Republicans are committed to reforming our immigration system, but as the speaker has said repeatedly, it's difficult to see how we make progress until the American people have faith that President Obama will enforce the law as written," a spokesman Michael Steel told Newsmax in a statement.
In remarks made by Jarrett at the SkyBirdge Alternatives Conference in Las Vegas, that Boehner's support comes amid strong opposition from other GOP representatives, particularly those backed by the tea party.
Boehner may opt for multiple bills rather than a single, Jarret said, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports, adding that the White House supported either approach.
Jarrett characterized Boehner as expressing that he's "very frustrated with his caucus." The event is an annual gathering of hedge fund managers, executives, and political leaders.
"There're a lot of ways to skin a cat," Jarret said, according to the Review-Journal. "I feel very encouraged about immigration reform. I think you're going to see mounting pressure."
But on Friday, Jarrett herself backed off her comments, saying on Twitter: "lost in translation – I said Boehner has made commitment to trying, not that he has made commitment to us or time frame."
The New York Times reported late last month that Boehner might seek to pass immigration reform in the House, but cautioned that Obama must work to win back the trust of a wary Congress and American public.
"The biggest impediment we have in moving immigration reform is that the American people don't trust the president to enforce or implement the law that we may or may not pass," Boehner said at the time.
Last year, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed a sweeping immigration bill that included a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.
Boehner said shortly thereafter that the House would not take an "Obamacare-like" approach to immigration reform.
"House Republicans affirmed that rather than take up the flawed legislation rushed through the Senate, House committees will continue their work on a step-by-step, common-sense approach to fixing what has long been a broken system," Boehner said in a statement that was endorsed by other Republican leaders.
"The American people want our border secured, our laws enforced, and the problems in our immigration system fixed to strengthen our economy," the statement said. "But they don't trust a Democratic-controlled Washington – and they're alarmed by the president's ongoing insistence on enacting a single, massive, Obamacare-like bill rather than pursuing a step-by-step, common-sense approach to actually fix the problem."

Weekend A La Carte (2/23)
February 23, 2013
The big news today is that Amazon is having a massive sale on Kindle books. I'll share Christian highlights here; scroll down to find some general market highlights. Creature of the Word by Matt Chandler ($3.99); Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal by Michael Kelly ($2.99); Handel's Messiah by Calvin Stapert ($3.99). (Complete list)
A Letter from Prison - Saeed's Abedini is a pastor who has been imprisoned within Iran. Here is a letter he recently wrote to his wife from behind prison bars.
Tebow's Big Fumble - Dr. Mohler: "For Tim Tebow, speaking at the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, had to look like a great opportunity. He grew up attending a large Southern Baptist church, and an invitation to speak at one of the most venerable and historic Baptist churches in the world had to look like an easy call. He was going."
The Word-less "Church" - Robert Godfrey writes about churches that have become (or are becoming) Word-less and warns "Churches that depart from the Word will soon find that God has departed from them."
Why the Afterlife Bores Us - Russell Moore is on to something here. "Imagine a couple referring to their marriage as their 'after-love.' They explain to you that years ago they met, fell in love, and married. The years since are their 'after-love' years, since they follow their falling in love with each other."
An Amish Trade Show - This is fascinating and lends itself so easily to personal application. "The Amish have chosen to forgo many of the delights of the modern world, but they still need to drill, sand and cut wood. This trade expo shows off all the loopholes that let the Amish get their hands on power tools."
Here are some of the most noteworthy general market Kindle books (click here for the complete list):
- Abigail and John by Edith Gelles ($1.99)
- The Reagan Diaries by Ronald Reagan ($1.99)
- The Life of Andrew Jackson by Robert Remini ($1.99)
- The Wilderness Warrior by Douglas Brinkley ($1.99)
- The Victors by Stephen Ambrose ($2.99)
- Shakespeare: A Life by Park Honan ($2.99)
Beware that you are not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge. —John Wesley

Accessorize's AW12 Bag Drop: You HAVE To See It!
We've kept a firm eye on high street handbags ever since the colossal success of Zara's, now infamous, bucket tote bag. But after seeing the latest handbag drop from high street fave Accessorize, they've definitely got some competition.
In bright buttery shades like toffee and pillarbox red, Accessorize's AW12 bags are the ultimate statement accessory for any off-duty outfit, and with prices under £40, they'll keep your bank balance happy too.
We've fallen for the Alessandra crossbody bag (£18) in the colour pop red shade. We'll be carrying ours using the top handle, to ensure we're bang on trend this season. Plus, thanks to Accessorize, we'll also be snapping up a new work bag, in the shape of the Mari tote bag (£38), which comes in black, caramel, emerald, peach and blue.
So now that's sorted, the only question is, which colour to choose? HG

This time Eagles dish out the disappointment in rivalry game
The disappointment pendulum really does swing both ways in the highly-hyped football series between Eastern Washington and Montana.
For access to this article please sign in or subscribe.
And that may never have been better illustrated than last Saturday night as the Eagles pulled a patented Grizzly-like rally in the final 2:19 to earn a 32-26 Big Sky Conference victory beneath the glow of a full moon – and the brightly lit brand new Roos Field scoreboard and video display.
Unlike most Eagle-Griz tussles, this one played out without the usual wrangling over a referee's call, or non-call.
No added time at the end of the game to give the Griz...

You have heard Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Maurice "Mobetta" Brown before. After all, he's appeared on LP's from Santigold, Ski Beatz, John Legend, Talib Kweli, Cee-Lo, Diddy, Musiq Soulchild and countless others; but you heard his trumpet and not his voice.
Think Louis Armstrong and his trumpet uploaded for the 21st century to a Hip-Hop beat, and you begin to understand who this young genius is. Maurice is a classically-trained Jazzman mentored and supported by the iconic Wynton Marsalis and the legendary Ramsey Lewis. But "Mobetta" is also a Hip-Hop head for life, and that journey on this planet rock literally parallels the history and evolution of rap. Little wonder that Maurice not only blows the roof off God's sky with his horn, but he also spits lyrics the way Satchmo spit his own brand of vocalese back in the day. Yup, Mobetta is a horn-playing-rhyme-spraying-dancing machine that Jazz-Hip-Hop collaborators like Donald Byrd and Gang Starr's Guru, or Ron Carter and A Tribe Called Quest fantasized about in the early 1990s.
Fresh off of winning his very first Grammy with Tedeschi Trucks Band for Best Blues Album of the year in 2012 (Maurice was the horn arranger for the 11-piece ensemble), Maurice is prepping his latest release, Maurice vs Mobetta, or, rather, Maurice's azz side versus his Hip-Hop persona. Maurice vs Mobetta features appearances from Talib Kweli, Consequence, Prodigy, Jean Grae and production from Fyre Dept, DJ Scratch and Maurice himself and its a mere sampling of what's in-store on Maurice vs Mobetta; as Brown has more in store, not only on this new effort, but coming down the pike. Know that Maurice vs Mobetta is a gumbo sound lab for this dynamic young trumpet player-arranger-producer.
And Maurice "Mobetta" Brown is just getting warmed up…
Maurice vs. Mobetta will be released on 10-8-2013

Reading of the Sacred Texts
"What Makes a Text Sacred?," John Pairman Brown's presentation for the Friends of GTU's Flora Lamson Hewlett Library in 1993, gave rise to a series of explorations of sacred texts. Each year since then, the Friends have invited a speaker with a particular connection to a "sacred text," written or oral, traditional or new, within a canon of scriptures or drawn from outside a religious tradition. The presentations, held early each February, provide fresh insights into the words that shape our sense of the sacred. They are open to the general public as well as to the GTU community.
Where not linked to a video, audio or document file, selected recordings and documents can be accessed through the GTU Archives in the Hewlett Library.

Ted Peters and Robert John Russell
Robert John Russell, Director of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, and Ted Peters, Emeritus Professor of Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, delivered the 22nd Annual Reading of the Sacred Text. The lecture asks the question: How can we respond to the challenges of reductionism and atheism and bring the two books back together into a "Theology of Nature" that uses the method of "Creative Mutual Interaction" (CMI) between natural science and Christian theology?

Walk away from your job and you might stumble upon a new you.
Gordon Family Tree is an inspiring story about a man from a prominent family who inexplicably walks away from his unfulfilling job and discovers what he loves to do can make a difference in other people's lives. Directed by Marc Hampson, this film festival darling stars Ryan Schwartzman, Corbin Bernsen, Richard Karn and Jennica Schwartzman. The journey begins on March 25, when home viewers can enjoy this award-winning film on DVD from Monarch Home Entertainment.
Freemont Gordon isn't passionate about his successful architecture job in Los Angeles. After he turns 30, he finds his job isn't enough and he quits and goes on a road trip. Along the way, he meets the most amazing and generous everyday folks. Freemont shows his thanks by building secret tree houses for the families in hopes of giving their kids fun places to play. Freemont finds that doing what he loves is what matters most.
"You will love this movie about loving what you do!" gushes The Dove Foundation.
An equally fascinating flick: An Unreal Dream: The Michael Morton Story (First Run Features)
In 1986, Morton's wife Christine is brutally murdered in front of their only child, and Michael is convicted of the crime. Locked away in Texas prisons for a quarter century, estranged from his son, he has years to ponder questions of justice and innocence, truth and fate. Though he is virtually invisible to society, the Innocence Project and Michael's pro-bono attorney spend years fighting for the right to test DNA evidence found at the murder scene. Their discoveries ultimately reveal that the price of a wrongful conviction goes well beyond one man's loss of freedom. Director Al Reinert is a two-time Academy Award nominee (as director of For All Mankind, which won the documentary Jury & Audience Awards when it premiered at Sundance in 1989, and as screenwriter for Apollo 13). There is nearly 70 minutes of bonus material, including highlights from former DA Ken Anderson's Court of Inquiry and plea deal hearing, a Q&A with Reinert, Morton and attorney John Raley, Whispering Hope music video and SXSW premiere highlights.

When I think about F. Scott Fitzgerald, I think of the roaring 1920s, flapper dresses, jazz, and his books – full of gracefully flowing sentences.
I think about the iconic American novel, The Great Gatsby, also This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and the Damned. But what of the man behind all of this?
If you want to know about F. Scott Fitzgerald the man, start with something he wrote about himself, entitled The Crack-Up.
This is a short piece on the perceived failings of his time and his mind. The tale of his past, a pull into reality with undue hurry and confusion, and also the "big sudden blow" – his deliberate and weak self-vacuuming from it all.
He writes, "All in the same month I became bitter about such things."
Singular in its honesty, The Crack-Up is Fitzgerald's self-deprecating fumble, it's about his hermitic idiosyncrasies and social ponderings, also about the excitement that Hollywood movies ripped out from under the novel. His words administer a serious pull and maybe a smile, because we recognize them in ourselves.
This rambling is also a statement, his sheer determination to start from the bottom and make the climb back up.
The young Fitzgerald was an idealist. It is important to realize, he was first an observer, a Nick Carraway swept up wide-eyed by the jewels of Manhattan in the nineteen-twenties. From midwestern nobility to a Princeton dropout, Fitzgerald was obsessed with social standing and class, though it was a love-hate obsession. He writes, "I would always cherish an abiding distrust, an animosity, toward the leisure class." As we can see from Gatsby's iconic race to embody a lifestyle of prestige, so it was as well for Fitzgerald. When This Side of Paradise was published in 1920, his fame swiftly arrived. Newfound fame flooded the young couple into the heightened and glamorous partying spree of NYC and later, Paris.
The Crack-Up was written in 1934. When originally published in Esquire, his friends were grasping to get rid of it, surprised, confused or mad. Fitzgerald was writing this while pieces of his personal life and fading celebrity reputation slowly separated; a fissure that never repaired. Patricia Hampl, in the American Scholar, writes of The Crack-Up, "Though he describes his psychological and spiritual breakdown, he doesn't spill many autobiographical beans."
During this year, Fitzgerald was living in Baltimore, working and scratching at what would become Tender is the Night. Two years ago his wife, Zelda, had been admitted back-and-forth to the Johns Hopkins hospital for psychiatric care with schizophrenia, although there is dispute on this diagnosis. During this period he was fiddling, writing and steadily drinking, waiting out for something. Three years later in 1937, Fitzgerald abandoned his institutionalized wife and private-schooled daughter. He ran away from his part in the once glorious but now dispersed family and moved to LA to work as a screenwriter. He died three years later, probably from alcoholism, almost finishing The Last Tycoon, at age 44.
"All rather inhuman and undernourished, isn't it? Well that, children, is the true sign of cracking up."

Featured in the Wrath of the Mortals Event Deck, Harness by Force is one of the newest Magic: The Gathering cards from Wizards of the Coast's expert expansion set Journey Into Nyx.
Harness by Force - 1RR
Sorcery (Rare)
Strive — Harness by Force costs 2R more to cast for each target beyond the first.
Gain control of any number of target creatures until end of turn. Untap those creatures. They gain haste until end of turn.
Requiring a slightly higher commitment to red than Act of Treason, Harness by Force allows the flexibility and strength to steal multiple creatures. For just six mana you'll steal two of your opponent's creatures, opening a path through their defenses and using their own threats to beat them down.
Harness by Force is absolutely fantastic in limited where you'll be able to steal your enemy's bombs. You'll be happy your adversary pulled an Arbor Colossus, Hydra Broodmaster, or Chromanticore as you gleefully take it from them and smash face.
Even better than stealing your rival's threats is sacrificing them. If you're unable to win the game right away, you'll be able to get rid of their troublesome threats with Eater of Hope, Rescue from the Underworld, or Tymaret, the Murder King.
Harness by Force will be an all-star in any game that goes long. If you've hit nine mana, Harness by Force should be able to win you the game.
How will you use Harness by Force?

One year ago, Brandon Flowers was busting his tail as a bellhop at Las Vegas' Gold Coast Hotel and Casino. He's since traded in the brass buttons and goofy cap for a synthesizer and a mic as the glittery frontman for the Killers, the shimmering standard-bearers of the new new wave.
But it's not like his job stress has lessened any.
See, less than five minutes ago, Flowers turned on his laptop to discover "a really terrible e-mail" from the band's former drummer, claiming that he wrote their current hit single, "Mr. Brightside." Flowers — who genuinely sounded pained by the whole thing — tried to explain what happened in slow, careful tones.
"This guy who was in my band a long time ago is trying to sue us," he sighed. "We wrote 'Mr. Brightside' a long, long time ago, when we had a different drummer. He had nothing to do with it, but his wife is a lawyer, so she just sent a letter to our lawyer. Wow. You always hear about people coming out of the woodwork once you get big, but this is … wow."
That's what happens when you go from being a fashionable-yet-unknown act from Las Vegas to a platinum synth-rock machine within one calendar year, with only one album under your belt.
That album, Hot Fuss, has steadily climbed up the Billboard albums chart based on the strength of the singles "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside." And because of the Killers' success, they've not only become popular lawsuit targets, but they've also kicked off an industry-wide signing binge not seen since the glory days of grunge. Basically, each and every act with some makeup and some synthesizers is getting boatloads of cash from major labels. And that, too, makes Flowers' head hurt.
"Look at a band like the Bravery. They're signed because we're a band," Flowers said. "I've heard rumors about [members of] that band being in a different kind of band, and how do you defend that? If you say, 'My heart really belongs to what I'm doing now,' but you used to be in a ska band. I can see the Strokes play or Franz Ferdinand play and it's real, and I haven't gotten that from the Bravery. I think people will see through them."
And it doesn't stop with the lawsuits or the imitators. There's also the issue of the video for "Smile Like You Mean It," the third single from Hot Fuss. The band shot the clip in England, and, well, Flowers isn't too happy with it. To say the least.
"It's very English-looking. It goes through the story of a house over a 20-year period of time. It's got a sentimental feel about it, but I don't really love the video, I'm really not too happy with it," he said. "But what can you do? I mean, they're releasing the song as a rock single, and it's the least-rocking song we have. It's a mid-tempo song."
With or without Flowers' stamp of approval, the video for "Smile" will begin making the rounds soon. In the meantime, the Killers are planning a much different form of video — a long-form one, to be exact. Production on the clip — which will expand on the love-and-murder mini-story contained in two of Fuss' tracks ("Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" and "Midnight Show"), plus one unreleased song ("Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf"), has been given the green light by Island Records, and Flowers hopes shooting will get under way later this year. And he's also got his eye on a leading man for the whole thing.
"I'd love to get James Spader to be in it, and we're trying to pin him down now. Basically, it's the tale of a girl leaving her boyfriend and him killing her and then getting caught," he explained. "To film it, we need a body of water, maybe [Las Vegas'] Lake Mead. We'd like to take the thing to Sundance or put it on a DVD or something. It's all a matter of time before we shoot it."
Until then, the Killers are hitting the road for a headlining tour, which starts April 11 in Phoenix (see "Killers To Kick Off Tour In April" ). Flowers said that fans can look forward to hearing a couple of new songs that'll be worked into the set, which the band will be previewing before it hits the studio in September.
"One new song is called 'Where Is She,' it's got a great feel, some great harmonies on it. We didn't do enough harmonies on our first album, so you're gonna hear more of that on the second album — those Police-esque harmonies," Flowers explained. "And we're playing other new songs — 'Higher and Higher,' 'Daddy's Eyes,' 'It's Only Natural' — that will make it onto the second album. You can't drift too far off the first record, but these songs are what the new album will sound like. A bit more organic, with organs and pianos. We don't want to be 'that [synth] band' forever. We'll let someone else be that."

Photo of the Week: Partnering for Impact
February 28, 2014
The Guardian highlights TechnoServe's innovative partnerships with the private sector.
In East Africa, TechnoServe is helping thousands of smallholder coffee farmers learn better farming and business practices to improve the quality of their coffee, increase their yields and raise their incomes. This type of large-scale, sustainable impact is made possible by innovative cross-sector partnerships, including collaborations with the private sector.
In a recent piece for the Guardian, Adeeb Mahmud highlights TechnoServe's approach to corporate partnerships:
NGOs bring expertise in service delivery that allows them to carry out direct interventions with individuals or local organizations more efficiently than the private sector. Working with companies such as Nespresso, TechnoServe offers training and capacity building to coffee farmers in East Africa that helps the company maintain the quality and consistency of its supply chain and increases the income of local farmers at the same time.

In this study, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural basis of auditory rhyme processing at the sentence level in healthy adults. In an explicit rhyme detection task, participants were required to decide whether the ending syllable of a metrically spoken pseudosentence rhymed or not. Participants performing this task revealed bilateral activation in posterior-superior temporal gyri with a much more extended cluster of activation in the right hemisphere. These findings suggest that the right hemisphere primarily supports suprasegmental tasks, such as the segmentation of speech into syllables; thus, our findings are in line with the "asymmetric sampling in time" model suggested by Poeppel ([2003]: Speech Commun 41:245-255). The direct contrast between rhymed and nonrhymed trials revealed a stronger BOLD response for rhymed trials in the frontal operculum and the anterior insula of the left hemisphere. Our results suggest an involvement of these frontal regions not only in articulatory rehearsal processes, but especially in the detection of a matching syllable, as well as in the execution of rhyme judgment.

Agreed. Though I confess to really wanting to be able to define simple beans, easily like this class Customer { String name Integer id Date dob Address address } without writing reams of getter-setters. Where the above could be improved is maybe using some syntax sugar to specify specific getter/setter implementations - like C#'s syntax. James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/

Investigative journalist Charles C. Johnson has filed a lawsuit for the release of Michael Brown's juvenile criminal record, should one exist, as reported at GotNews on Friday.
Michael Brown was killed during a confrontation with Police Officer Darren Wilson, prompting riots and widespread looting in Ferguson, Missouri over the past two weeks. The reaction to the shooting by politicians, as well as media coverage of the event, has been called into question as being biased against the police officer before an investigation surrounding the circumstances of the altercation can be properly conducted.
For example, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon called for a "vigorous prosecution" of Officer Wilson, who was taken to the hospital after his confrontation with Michael Brown.
It was heavily and somewhat disingenuously reported that Michael Brown did not have a criminal history. Indeed, it was a headline in many cases, such as in USA Today. If Michael Brown turns out to have a juvenile criminal record, would that revelation also be worthy of headlines? Conversely, if Officer Wilson had a history of violence or discrimination, for example, it is quite likely that the mainstream media would find that information to be relevant.
Charles C. Johnson told the Brenner Brief that he became an investigative journalist because he was "sick of complaining about the narrative being pushed by the mainstream media," and so "he decided to take matters into his own hands."
The lawsuit comes after the St. Louis County Circuit clerk denied a Freedom of Information Act request by Johnson this week, claiming in part that if records exist, they are "clearly judicial records which are by statute to be held confidential and are not public records."
Despite the lack of a completed investigation, the rallying cry for supporters of Mike Brown is "Hands up! Don't shoot!" based on the premise that Mike Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was gunned down in cold blood by a white police officer while Brown's hands were raised in submission. But without an investigation, this scenario is far from certain.
Adding to the chaos in Ferguson is the influx of outside activists and groups into the area, such as the Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Amnesty International, Sojourners, the Revolutionary Communist Party, the Socialist Workers Party, the New Black Panther Party, the Organization for Black Struggle, the Moorish Science Temple, the Coalition Against Police Crimes and Repression, the Nation of Islam, and the Universal African Peoples Organization among others.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Mahler's Seventh Symphony is sometimes referred as the "Song of the Night," however this nickname was not Mahler's own and he disapproved of it. In 1904, Mahler was enjoying great international success as a conductor, but he was also, at last, beginning to enjoy international success as a composer. The symphony was written during his annual summer holidays at his lakeside retreat over the course of two years. This performance featuring Zubin Mehta leading the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was recorded live in 2007.Notes & Reviews:

With increasing frequency, artists are taking to social networks and premiering frustratingly brief teaser clips from their upcoming videos. These are usually between zero and 45 seconds in length and tend to do two things: leave you wanting more video, and leave you wanting fewer teasers. We can't address the latter. What we can do, however, is help with the former, so, based solely on the preview, Popdust will miraculously predict what transpires in the unseen full-length video.
Today's video teaser: B.o.B's "So Good."
Run-length: 39 seconds, although only 22 of those are actually the video and not padding.
Summary: B.o.B's lady has a guidebook, and B.o.B has the magical ability to whisk them both away to any place in that guidebook in a single shot. Also, whenever they travel, they wear white.
What could come next: B.o.B's lady is rather impressed by how he can Reading Rainbow their lives, so he does it a bunch more. But what he doesn't realize is that if you take too many leaps into the globetrotting, so-good alternate universe, you're stuck there. This doesn't seem like a problem, and indeed, neither he nor she think it is, until B.o.B notices exactly which shorts and which hat he's wearing. Then it's a problem. It's a first-class cabin fever problem. Eventually, after a lot of frantic travel and na-na-nas, things will get back to normal–until, that is, B.o.B decides to actually try out the spinning-the-globe-and-visiting-an-arbitrary-spot trick. That'll be the alternate version. Because of course there'll be one.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Sosa, Omar (Omar Sosa Palacios)
Sosa, Omar [Omar Sosa Palacios], composer, pianist; b. Camaguey, Cuba, 10 April 1965. He was raised in a working class family in Camaguey, Cuba, the largest inland city of the island nation, with a current population of about 300,000. The city lies at the center of a large prairie, junction point of railroads and highways, commercial center for trade in cattle and sugar produced in the province, and home of many beautiful churches, cathedrals and mansions. His father is Sindulfo Jacinto Sosa Adan. He was a teacher of history and philosophy, as well as an administrator of the local school system. His mother is Maria Gricelia Palacios Cadena. Now retired and living in Havana, was a telex operator for the local electric company. His sister is Oramis Sosa Palacios. His son is Lonious Said Sosa (b. 2002).
At the age of eight, Omar began studying percussion, including marimba, at the music conservatory in Camaguey. After passing a rigorous musical exam, Omar moved his studies to the prestigious Escuela Nacional de Musica in Havana. Here, as a teenager, not finding his first choice instrument - the marimba - readily available, he began to focus on the piano, finishing his formal education in 1983 at the Instituto Superior de Arte, also in Havana. Growing up in Camaguey, Omar listened to music at home - Nat King Cole, Orquesta Aragon, Pacho Alonso, Benny More, and much classical music. He was impressed early on by one of his father's records - a set of Cuban descargas - but had no idea that this was Latin jazz. He was touched profoundly by the music's freedom and expressiveness. It was the group Los Amigos, with Frank Emilio Flynn, Tata Guines, Cachao, and Barreto, et al. Another album constantly on the family's record player was called Pianoforte, a recording by Chucho Valdes. Omar was also impressed by a recording of Afro-Cuban songs by the Conjunto Folklorico Nacional - so much so that he briefly toyed with the idea of becoming a dancer.
Later, at the conservatory in Havana, influenced by his classmates, Omar became familiar with the music called jazz. He listened to a radio program hosted by the father of drummer Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez. Students would stay up late to hear the show, and compare notes at the school the next day. At the time, this radio show was one of the main sources of information about jazz. Later, as some of his peer's musician parents began to travel, Omar received records and information about many of the great American artists like Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Keith Jarret, Coltrane, Charlie Parker. At the same time, Omar was influenced by progressive Cuban artists like Chucho Valdez, Irakere, and Emiliano Salvador. It was also as he finished his studies in 1983 that he was introduced to the music of Thelonious Monk, whose legacy of expressive freedom has left a strong mark on Omar's crea tive approach. By the late '80's, having studied everything from Afro-Cuban folkloric traditions to European classical music, he began working with two Cuban pop singers - first Vicente Feliu, then Xiomara Laugart - serving as musical director for various of their touring and recording ensembles.
Moving to Quito, Ecuador for several years beginning in 1993, Sosa discovered the folkloric music of Esmeraldas, a pocket of African-rooted culture on the northwest coast of that country known especially for its use of the marimba. He launched his own jazz fusion ensemble, Entrenoz. After a brief stint in Palma Mallorca, Spain, Omar moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in late 1995. In 1998 Omar began his collaboration with noted Bay Area percussionist and educator John Santos. The duo appeared at the San Francisco Jazz Festival that year. With Venezuelan percussionist Gustavo Ovalles, he's been performing in a duo since 1999, performing throughout Europe, Japan and the United States.

Author: Michael Kalichman, 2001
Contributors: P.D. Magnus, Dena Plemmons
- Effective mentoring is essential
Although mentoring alone may be insufficient, mentoring is essential to promote a positive attitude and understanding of the responsible conduct of research.
- Mentoring is a shared professional responsibility of all scientists
The enterprise of science depends on effective communication not just about the science, but about the practice of science, standards of conduct, and ethical and social responsibility. Taking an active role in helping to train the next generation of scientists should not be optional. And scientific trainees have a complementary responsibility to take an active role in their own development and seek mentors.
Mentoring the next generation of scientists is a responsibility for current scientists. A mentor has experience with the challenges that will be faced by a trainee, the ability to communicate that experience, and a willingness to do so. A mentor assists the trainee in understanding and adhering to the standards of conduct within their profession. In this way, mentoring of new researchers by senior investigators passes on the informal and possibly unwritten standards from one generation of scientists to the next. Within a small research group, this mentoring may readily occur, but many current research groups are too large or competitive. Whether or not this has changed the extent to which new scientists become aware of prevailing standards of conduct, it appears that issues of responsible conduct are discussed infrequently (see text box to right).
Eastwood et al. (1996) found that nearly 40% of postdoctoral research fellows responding to a survey at the University of California, San Francisco reported having had no guidance in ethical research from a scientific mentor. Brown and Kalichman (1998) found that half of graduate students responding to a survey at the University of California, San Diego reported that the total time spent discussing responsible conduct of research with a major professor or advisor had been one hour or less. In a nationwide survey of doctoral students, Swazey and Anderson (1998) found that for nearly every defined dimension of training in ethics, over half of the respondents reported that faculty members provided little or no help.
A mentor teaches responsible conduct explicitly and by example; mentoring involves both what is verbalized and what is demonstrated in practice. For better or worse, the default method of teaching the traditions and standards of science is often by unwitting and serendipitous example. Unfortunately, without discussion of ethical principles and the purposeful assurance that everyone is included, this approach to training is seriously flawed. Principles of decision-making are not explicit and are therefore open to interpretation and misinterpretation; moreover, many important roles of scientists, such as peer review and negotiating collaborations, are not observed by the trainee. An absence of adequate mentoring can have significant consequences for the integrity of research. In their survey of 2000 doctoral students, Anderson et al. found that departmental climate was the strongest predictor for misconduct (Anderson et al., 1994). Overall, misconduct was found to occur more often in those departments in which the climate favors competition and discourages collaboration. However, research misconduct occurred least often in those cases in which students felt that their advisors, or others, provided useful feedback and evaluation. These findings are consistent with the view that explicit mentoring serves to promote the responsible conduct of research and to reduce the risk of research misconduct.
Despite its presumed importance, no regulations explicitly require or prescribe standards for mentoring. The lack of absolute rules is appropriate, since the success of mentoring depends on the widely varying skills, needs, and attitudes of different individuals. Nevertheless, federal requirements encourage and sometimes require 'instruction in the responsible conduct of research' (NIH, 1989, 1992), and mentors ideally have an important role in delivering that instruction.
Mentors should:
- help trainees in their technical development as capable researchers
- assist trainees with the job market
- socialize trainees in the political, ethical, economic, and social dynamics of academia
- teach about teaching, working in teams, leadership, administration and planning, and budget management
- help address special circumstances (e.g., issues related to gender, race, national origin, language, or disability)
Many resources (e.g., several are listed under the Resources tab) are now available to guide both mentors and trainees in optimizing mentoring. The importance of mentoring for training in the responsible conduct of research has been recognized in both research studies (e.g., Douglas-Vidas et al., 2001) and national reports on the integrity of research. For example, a report from the Institute of Medicine (1989) noted the importance of mentors and specifically recommended that departments and research units should monitor the supervision and training of young scientists to ensure that it is adequate (Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy, 2000).
Case Studies
Discussion Questions
- Discuss the role of mentoring in promoting the responsible conduct of research.
- What are the roles and responsibilities of trainees in promoting effective mentoring relationships?
- About which aspects of your career path do you feel least prepared? Who, or what kinds of people would be best positioned to help fill your needs? How might you initiate or promote a role for one of these people as your mentor?
- What are the characteristics of an effective mentor? What similarities and differences characterize mentors and supervisors?
- What guidelines or programs are in place to promote mentoring in your institution?
Additional Considerations
- Advice
A mentor's role is to provide advice, help, and encouragement, to guide rather than decide for the trainee. The trainees' responsibility is to seek out mentors and to act based on their own values, goals, and experience.
- By words and example
Modeling good skills and behavior is a necessary element of mentoring. A mentor who argues for rigorous authorship criteria must act on that advice, or trainees will see it as hypocritical posturing. Yet a good example is not always enough; it's important that mentors make explicit the often implicit rationale for their behavior, because trainees will not learn the policy and philosophy underlying exemplary behavior by observation alone.
- Multiple mentors
Widely ranging needs at different stages of a career are not likely to be met by a single mentor, and few established scientists can offer the requisite time, knowledge, and interest to the full range of issues likely to confront a trainee. For these reasons, the term mentor is best used to mean any person who helps another with one or more aspects of the latter's personal or professional development. In this sense, trainees are encouraged to seek out multiple mentors, each of whom can provide the expertise and experience to help fulfill the trainee's needs.
- Differences in personalities
Some mentors will be uncomfortable offering advice or initiating discussions unless first asked by a trainee, while other mentors will readily volunteer information and advice without any clear indication that help would be welcomed. Similarly, some trainees see frequent and probing discussion with a mentor as invasive micromanaging, while other trainees thrive on frequent feedback. Effective mentoring is more likely when personalities of the mentor and trainee are aligned.

|The photosensitivity of dye mixture-doped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films are investigated as a function of laser power, concentration of the dyes, modulation frequency and the irradiation wavelength. Energy transfer from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule affects the emission output of the dye mixture system. Photosensitivity is found to change with changes in donor–acceptor concentrations. PMMA samples doped with the dye mixture are found to be more photosensitive when the dyes are mixed in the same proportion.
|The spectral and nonlinear optical characteristics of nano ZnO and its composites are investigated. The fluorescence behaviour of nano colloids of ZnO has been studied as a function of the excitation wavelength and there is a red shift in emission peak with excitation wavelength. Apart from the observation of the reported ultra violet and green emissions, our results reveal that additional blue emissions at 420 nm and 490 nm are developed with increasing particle size. Systematic studies on nano ZnO have indicated the presence of luminescence due to excitonic emissions when excited with 255 nm as well as significant contribution from surface defect states when excited with 325 nm. In the weak confinement regime, the third-order optical susceptibility χ(3) increases with increasing particle size (R) and annealing temperature (T) and a R2 and T2.5 dependence of χ(3) is obtained for nano ZnO. ZnO nanocolloids exhibit induced absorption whereas the self assembled films of ZnO exhibit saturable absorption due to saturation of linear absorption of ZnO defect states and electronic effects. ZnO nanocomposites exhibit negative nonlinear index of refraction which can be attributed to two photon absorption followed by weak free carrier absorption. The increase of the third-order nonlinearity in the composites can be attributed to the enhancement of exciton oscillator strength. The nonlinear response of ZnO nanocomposites is wavelength dependent and switching from induced absorption to saturable absorption has been observed at resonant wavelengths. Such a change-over is related to the interplay of plasmon/exciton band bleach and optical limiting mechanisms. This study is important in identifying the spectral range and the composition over which the nonlinear material acts as an optical limiter. ZnO based nanocomposites are potential materials for enhanced and tunable light emission and for the development of nonlinear optical devices with a relatively small optical limiting threshold.

We have 2 servers, one Windows 2003 and the other Windows 2003 SBS.
Both come from Dell with 12GB C drives and now we are running out of space.
What's the best and safest way to increase the size of these partitions?
We have 2 servers, one Windows 2003 and the other Windows 2003 SBS.
Both come from Dell with 12GB C drives and now we are running out of space.
What's the best and safest way to increase the size of these partitions?
Firstoff: I'm highly distrustful of so-called "non-destructive" disk partitioning utilities. I'd back-up the contents of all partitions on the disk before I started no matter what I was going to do.
I've had great luck booting a Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 setup DVD and using the built-in "DISKPART" utility to expand partitions. I've got nothing against third-party disk partitioning software, but I've nearly always got a Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD near my person and it's just too handy.
Using DISKPART you'd be talking about backing-up the contents of any other partitions on the disk, deleting them, expanding the "C:" partition, the re-creating the other partitions and restoring the data. Without knowing the exact layout of the disks I can't give you "step by step".
If you're not familiar with "DISKPART" you'll probably have better luck with something like gparted or other resizing tools. Again, though, be sure you back-up everything before you get started.
There are ways to free up disk space. Review this KB, How to reclaim disk space on Windows XP and Windows Server 2008-based computers. I use it semi-regularly.
The section I use the most is 'Delete Windows update files'. I always make sure I have good backups prior to doing any reclamation.
Easeus Partition manager is the way to go takes about 2-3 hours for whole process to complete. follow the tutorial on their web site to get the understanding. lets say, In the dell computers c:\ is usually about 10GB and D: or other part is huge. first you want to break the other drive letter partition in to a 2 part and then pick one of the part which should now be unallocated join with c:\ and viola! Backup! Backup! Backup! last time i did one took about 3 hours depends on how much files you have on the other drive letter as well
DISKPART extend requires upgrading to dynamic disks. This is a fast solution provided there are no policies in place preventing you from upgrading to dynamic disks (for whatever reason). If you happen to already be using dynamic disks, you can simply install a new hard drive and extending can be done online within the GUI Disk Management tool, or via command line through DISKPART. Extending is an online operation and there's no reason to reboot to a PE or installation disk command prompt.
Another option is to use imaging software such as imagex, ghost or partimage to take an image of your system and boot volumes and then restore them to a larger physical disk.
As mentioned before, a verified backup should be created and tested before you do any of the work.

A man used a cup of coffee as his weapon to rob a Columbus Ohio gas station…after the clerk gave him the coffee free. The incident occurred at a Sunoco station , located at 4840 Sinclair Rd. Surveillance video of the December 26 robbery was just released by Central Ohio Crime Stoppers.
According to Crime Stoppers, the man entered the Sunoco and stated he wanted the clerk to make a fresh pot of coffee. After the employee complied, the man, described as a black male in his 50s, approximately 6 ft tall, 160 to 170 pounds with a thin beard poured himself a cup of the freshly brewed hot coffee, then told the store employee that he could not pay. After the employee let him have the coffee for free, stating that the man could pay for it the next time he came to the gas station, the man thanked him and started to leave. He returned momentarily and said he forgot to put sugar in the coffee. He added sugar and then threw the cup of hot coffee into the employee's face. Leaping across the counter, he ordered the employee to "get on the ground!" The Columbus Dispatch reported that the robber also shoved the male employee to the floor. The robber stole approximately $200 cash from the register before making his getaway in a white or silver 4-door vehicle.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward "for any information leading to the arrest and/or indictment of the persons responsible for this crime." Anyone who has information about the crime or who knows the identity of the robber can call the Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461 TIPS (8477). Information can also be emailed to www.stopcrime.org .
