Confessed killer out of coma, but won't stand trial for crime
July 13, 2012 at 8:51 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Gary Farrell, 43, allegedly shot and killed Ginger Allen on Sept. 22, 2010 before putting her body in the trunk of his car and going to St. Charles Parish Hospital to receive treatment for back pain. Upon leaving the hospital, Farrell called police and confessed to the crime. A six-hour standoff between Farrell and the Sheriffs Office ended when he shot himself in the head at his Luling home. During the standoff, Farrell had told dispatchers that he would not come out alive.
"He basically attempted suicide," St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne said. "He had a small caliber handgun, a .22, he shot himself in the head and shot out part of his brain."
Champagne said Farrells injuries are severe enough that although he has come out of the coma, he will not be able to stand trial for the crime.
"The best information we have is that he is not much above a vegetable," Champagne said. "He is probably in a comparable state to a mentally retarded person. He cant even speak."
Allens sister, Alyce Mongrue, said in an interview before her own death last year that Farrell and Allen had been long-time friends before the incident and that Allen would help Farrell by driving him to the grocery store and other places.
Mongrue also said that Farrell had a history of manic-depression, or bi-polar disorder, and that he had been romantically interested in Allen, but she was not interested in a romantic relationship with him.
The Farrell murder-suicide attempt was the first of four similar cases that have occurred in the parish in the past two years.
In January 2011, Carroll Charles Jr. shot and killed Fenisha Charles in Destrehan before taking his own life. Their bodies were later discovered by their 15-year-old daughter. In May 2011, Curry Lewis killed Santana Marshall in her Des Allemands driveway and was later found dead in his car with three self-inflicted gunshot wounds to his body and one under his chin.
In the latest incident that occurred only a few weeks ago, Otto Barrera shot his wife in the head with a shotgun in their Norco home before shooting himself in the face. The couples 15-year-old daughter witnessed the shooting before fleeing the home to contact the Sheriffs Office.
Champagne said Barrera recently underwent reconstructive facial surgery, but his wife is in much worse condition.
The Barreras are still in critical condition and are being treated in the Intensive Care Unit at LSU Hospital in New Orleans.

Red Sox Century: The Definitive History of Baseball's Most Storied Franchise, Expanded and Updated Hardcover – October 19, 2005

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
From Cy Young to Cy Young award winner Pedro Martinez, this is a franchise full of myth and history--the first to win a World Series and the last to cross the color line--and, contend authors Glenn Stout, the series editor of the annual Best American Sportswriting volume, and Richard A. Johnson, curator of the Sports Museum of New England, the most interesting franchise in the history of the game. Their splendid, fully illustrated chronicle, rich with anecdotes, of the club from 1901 to the present makes it hard to argue with the assessment. The Sox have always been interesting--as well as frustrating, enigmatic, contradictory, and thrilling, and Red Sox Century touches all of those bases. This is an exhaustively researched history, but it's also a fan's book, filled with affection and exasperation. Stout and Johnson effectively pepper their narrative with personal reflections and observations from writers such as Peter Gammons, Dan Shaughnessy, and Elizabeth Dooley. They also pick a Red Sox all-century team, make a fine case for Pedro's '99 season as the best ever for a pitcher, compile some requisite stats, and assemble the most complete Sox bibliography ever. About the only thing they don't supply is a good parking place near Fenway. --Jeff Silverman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

There are a lot of photographs included. The book is written by Glenn Stout and Dick Johnson, noted for their collaborations on books about Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson. This will be my standard reference book, but it's also a book with opinions.
RED SOX CENTURY questions a few long-held beliefs, and fears not treading on sacred Yawkey toes. It goes further than any other book to suggest that Tom Yawkey, more than any other person, held the team back from success. Yawkey ownership clearly dominated Red Sox history, spanning from 1934 until the present, in one form or another. Noting that the Red Sox have so very often been one or two players short, the competition (frequently the Yankees) rarely are. The ultimate goal is, of course, a world championship. The "commitment of the franchise to this goal has not matched the devotion of their fans."
Tom Yawkey was one of the wealthiest men of his time, far wealthier than I had ever realized (the authors calculate the money he inherited in 1933 as being equivalent to somewhere between 4 1/2 and 7 billion dollars today.) His lineage is traced back to Johann Georg Jaky, who came to the new world from Germany in 1736. From time to time, Tom Yawkey paid a lot of money for specific players. The purchase price for Joe Cronin was an unheard of $250,000. Sounds like a lot, but Stout and Johnson translate that into 1999 dollars and the equivalent today would be a staggering $37.5 million!Read more ›
These questions are the same ones asked every year by the faithful Red Sox Nation. The Babe and his curse has dominated the Red Sox since his leaving Boston for the Apple. "Red Sox Century" dives into all things Red Sox, from the glory years between 1901-1918, when the Sox dominated baseball, to the Babe's going to New York, and all the sorrow that has followed it. From Harry Hooper to Teddy Ballgame, Yaz, Dewey, El Tiante, the Rocket, Nomar and Pedro. The heroes, like Fisk in 75, or Yaz's Triple Crown in 67, to the unlucky- Torrez in 78 or Buckner in 86. All are covered in this fascinating book.
"Red Sox Century" is one of the most complete books I've ever seen written on my Carmine Hosed Heroes. The story, like an opera, is compelling, with twists and turns unlike any other franchise in sports. Few teams in any sport offer more drama on any given day than the Red Sox do. Peter Gammons, Dan Shaughnessy, and the authors do a remarkable job bringing the impossible stories to life.
While hard to swollow at times (re-opening old scars), Red Sox fans and fans of baseball alike will find much to marvel at in this book. Great pictures, painstakingly accurate history, a storied franchise. Baseball and the Red Sox are one and the same, and this book covers both marvelously.

Class It Up
The Killers of Comedy are not for the faint of heart. Comprising contributors to the Howard Stern Show, the group takes a no-holds-barred approach that hits audiences with jokes that Dane Cook wouldnt tell with Ray Romanos mouth. The show begins with Shuli, an Israeli-born funnyman who touches on Judaism and smoking weed, and continues with the Reverend Bob Levys foul-mouthed audience-baiting, Yucko the Clowns sex-and-race gags that would make Richard Pryor blush and former Stern producer/Newport Beach resident KC Armstrongs tales of misfortune. Like all good acts, the finale is where its at. Thats when Beetlejuice, beloved member of Sterns Wack Pack, asks females from the crowd to come onstage so he can eat bleu cheese from their asses. Each performance is littered with references to the gangly King of All Media, but there is enough material for those unfamiliar with the program to be as grossed-out as those who understand every inside joke.

Just had a call from friend of mine who is a literary agent. He told me that a friend of his at Harper Collins confirmed that Sarah Palin has received an advance "in excess of $7 million" for her memoir "Going Rogue." The book will come out in the middle of November and was written with the assistance of a ghost writer. Reminds me of the Lord High Executioner who obtained his lofty status "by a set of curious chances." Of course, he had to chop his own head off before executing anyone else, so there was a downside. In modern American politics there is no downside. I don't quite get the Sarah phenomenon unless it derives from a primitive desire to see "everyman" or woman succeed at something that they are manifestly unqualified for. But if that is the case, then we should go over to the Athenian system of selecting office holders by lot so that everyone would in fact have a chance at high office. Or, as Buckley once joked, just select everyone on the first page of the telephone directory and send them to congress.

This interactive addresses the question if we can reduce CO2 emissions by 20% of 1990 levels and help avoid dangerous climate change? Users of this interactive can manipulate changes to various sources and uses (supply and demand) of energy with the goal of reducing C02 emissions in Great Britain by 80% in the year 2050.
This is a series of 10 short videos, hosted by National Science Foundation, each featuring scientists, research, and green technologies. The overall goal of this series is to encourage people to ask questions and look beyond fossil fuels for innovative solutions to our ever-growing energy needs.
This engaging video focuses on national and global wind energy potential by specifically highlighting Texas' role as wind energy leader and energy efficiency efforts in Houston, Texas.
In this activity students make biodiesel from waste vegetable oil and develop a presentation based on their lab experience. Parts of the activity include creation of bio-diesel from clean vegetable oil, creation of bio-diesel from waste vegetable oil, chemical analysis of biodiesel, purification of biodiesel, and creation of soap from glycerin.
In this activity, students will determine the environmental effects of existing cars and a fleet consisting of their dream cars. They compute how many tons of heat-trapping gases are produced each year, how much it costs to fuel the cars, and related information. Then, students research and prepare a report about greener transportation choices.
This video segment explores whether, in principle, renewable energy resources could meet today's global energy needs of about 15.7 terawatts.
Students investigate how much greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide and methane) their family releases into the atmosphere each year and relate it to climate change. To address this, students use the Environmental Protection Agency Personal Emissions Calculator to estimate their family's greenhouse gas emissions and to think about how their family could reduce those emissions.
An activity focusing on black carbon. This activity explores the impacts of the use of wood, dung, and charcoal for fuel, all which generate black carbon, in developing countries.
This activity includes an assessment, analysis, and action tool that can be used by classrooms to promote understanding of how the complex current issues of energy, pollution, supply and consumption are not just global but also local issues.
This video describes how Colorado has planned for and uses clean energy resources to reduce its carbon footprint.

Tabata spent much of the demonstration controlling Rem, one of the game's fourteen playable characters. Throughout the lengthy footage, Tabata goes over the basics, gets into a battle, rides Chocobos, talks about multiplayer mode and some missions that involve multiplayer, controls an airship, all while running around. If you enable multiplayer, other players can join you on certain mission. The game even has shooting sequences!
Apparently your character dies after summoning. (This doesn't seem to be a big deal since you do have fourteen of them, after all.) You have a limited time to use the summon monster. The summon in the above video is Golem.

Everlasting Love: Saatchi & Saatchi Germany release new film showing enduring popularity of Toyota
Toyota and Saatchi & Saatchi show why endless reliability and the pleasure of novelty are not mutually excluded.
Paris - Publicis Groupe has announced its acquisition of 100% of The Creative Factory (TCF), a marketing and advertising agency in Moscow with a strong track record in specialty areas such as trade and shopper marketing, PR and event management, digital and digital production, and video production. TCF will be fully integrated into Saatchi & Saatchi Russia.
Founded in 2001, TCF and its 48 communication professionals work across standard mass media and innovative sectors -- offering clients such as Burger King, IKEA, JTI (tobacco), John Deere, Nike, Rehau (plastics), Tele2 (telecommunications) and UNIQLO true "through-the-line" solutions. This offering is highly complementary to Saatchi & Saatchi Russia's strength in traditional media and its work for clients such as The Coca-Cola Company, Dixy, Emirates Airlines, Friesland Campina, JTI, Kraft Foods, Procter & Gamble, Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Twinings Tea. In the last three years its revenue has grown by over 30%.
TCF's founders, Alex Shifrin and Sam Rothman, will stay on with Saatchi & Saatchi as Managing Directors and will report to Shannon Cullum, Saatchi & Saatchi Russia's CEO.
The acquisition of TCF highlights Publicis Groupe's commitment to the Russian market and its confidence in the continued expansion of advertising and marketing in the Eastern European region. In its December 2011 forecast ZenithOptimedia predicted that adspend in Central and Eastern Europe would grow 9.6% per year through 2015.
"We firmly believe that Russia will continue to deliver powerful growth for our clients," said Maurice Levy, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe. "Russia was the world's eleventh largest advertising market in 2011; in 2013 it will be the tenth, and by 2014 we expect it to upgrade to the ninth place. Our clients deserve the most ingenious and compelling campaigns that can be devised, and this acquisition will strengthen our ability to deliver them."
"It's no secret that the global marketing landscape is changing dramatically, and Russia is changing faster than most," said Robert Senior, Saatchi & Saatchi CEO for Europe, The Middle East and Africa (EMEA). "We need to offer our clients the unreasonable power of creativity in all its forms, which means continuing to move out of traditional thinking and traditional media, and more and more into areas where The Creative Factory excels."
"We've seen from our recent success in Russia how boundless the opportunity is here," added Shannon Cullum, CEO Saatchi & Saatchi Russia. "The demand is there, and growing. The challenge is finding the resources and talent to meet this demand. Adding TCF to our offering in Russia is about talent, above all -- acquiring top talent in areas new to Saatchi, such as events and content development, and adding two very experienced leaders to our management team."
"We've done a lot in the last decade to develop and deliver Russia-specific know-how in non-traditional advertising," explained TCF CEO Alex Shifrin. "The opportunity to apply this to Saatchi & Saatchi's philosophy and network of clients is an exciting one for the whole team."

We may be just a couple of weeks away from the release of Microsoft's smallest—and most affordable—Surface tablet yet. As The Verge reports, Microsoft has sent out invitations for a Surface event on May 20. The invites read, "Join us for a small gathering."
If that's not a strong hint, I don't know what is.
A May 20 launch would fit with all the evidence to date. In a ZDNet story posted last September, famed Microsoft watcher Mary Jo Foley said her sources pointed to a spring 2014 launch for the Surface Mini. Word back then was that Microsoft had pushed the launch into 2014 so that the new Surface device would come pre-loaded with "a Windows 8.1 update." The Windows 8.1 Update, of course, wound up arriving a month ago—and bringing support for devices with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage capacity.
Also, last month, Amazon put up listings for aftermarket cases and covers apparently aimed at the Surface Mini. The listings quoted an "in stock" date of May 18, just two days ahead of the Microsoft event.
An older CNet News story quoted by The Verge suggests the Surface Mini could run Windows RT and feature a 4:3 screen with a 1400x1050 display resolution. 3G and 4G connectivity could be on the menu, as well. If those specs are accurate, then perhaps Microsoft aims to position the Surface Mini against Apple's iPad Mini.

The standard speakers rattle and distort even at moderate volume levels. Younger buyers want hot stereos, and a CD player and subwoofer would go a long way in increasing this truck's appeal to them. You might be swayed to buy the competition until you look at the Xtreme in a dealership. The S-10 has a good bit of "cash on the hood" right now... Read More

text: Syfy's Childhood's End Adaptation Gets Closer and Closer to HappeningKatharine Trendacosta8/18/14 2:00amFiled to: syfytelevisionchildhood's endarthur c. clarke6314EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Seriously, it looks like Syfy's version of Arthur C. Clarke's classic novel Childhood's End is actually going to happen. Because there are some very familiar names running this project.According to Deadline, Syfy's ordering Childhood's End to production as a six hour miniseries. Producing the project are Michael De Luca (The Social Network) and Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind). Writing the script is Matthew Graham (Life on Mars and Doctor Who) and just hired to direct is Nick Hurran (Doctor Who and Sherlock's "His Last Vow"). If nothing else, this line-up certainly suggests that Syfy is serious about doing this and doing it right. Let's hope they succeed. Clarke's novel about an invasion of alien Overlords who turn Earth into a near-utopia is one of those works that changed the science fiction genre forever.

Spencer checks out his badly bruised hip from the tussle with Sizzle. He grabs a bottle of pain pills and pops a few in his mouth.
Arriving at the pharmacy for a prescription refill, Spencer is anxious when they tell him he is overdrawn and they will need to call his doctor. Feeling uncomfortable, he leaves.
Sizzle shows up at ASM for an appointment Spencer set up. Without running it by Anderson first, Spencer tells Joe its time to make a go at getting Sizzle on as a new client. Joe is concerned about moving ahead when they aren't officially cleared by the league yet.
Spencer visits Joe to find out what went down. Clear-eyed and sober, Joe tells Spencer he didn't quit, he was fired. Now he wants to open up his own shop with Spencer.

Field Trip
I was fortunate to be a favorite with the nurses. I'm nice to them. They are nice back. It makes life so much easier. I learned to be nice and polite as an intern. Nurses, otherwise, could make life hell. When I rotated onto my pediatric neurosurgery rotation the night nurses were nice enough to have a going away party for me. They didn't wake me for the party. They wanted to let me sleep. Imagine that!
In Jeddah the nurses invited me on a field trip. A few husbands… and me – they insisted I ride in the front of the bus. So far this is my only field trip though they threaten to organize another. For sure they have a sense of humor. And they like to live large.
One nurse was ecstatic to ride a camel. "It was something I promised myself before the age of thirty." My kids rode a camel in the Bronx Zoo when they were small. So far I'm waiting for my first ride…not.
Porcelain Crab and Friends
At the end of the dive – that long night dive – we were hovering at our safety stop. Three minutes. It's like praying. You just hover and ponder life. It's a safety stop! It's not supposed to be entertaining. But this is the reason I ran out of air. Down in the coral – deep down – was a crab. Look. Two eyes over the left shoulder?
Ok. I see him. Her? But to get a picture is impossible! How so? It's deep. The light won't reach and there will be shadows. The crab is shy! And he doesn't like the light. And auto focus is stupid. It will focus on the nearest thing. That would be the coral and not the crab.
I don't control the camera. It does me the favor of imaging what I point at. And damn! Yes! Got several images. Not great. But I got the eye. The eye is the key to the soul. Ok, too much. But the eye makes the image interesting. Got enough so that you know it's a crab. And I could even identify him in my book. I think?
And when I reviewed the images, there was an added bonus. A shrimp. And something else. Obviously they were all hiding there. Maybe they were playing, who's for dinner?
Leaping – Wall
Remember the wall? The nine foot one from yesterday? Hey! Sometimes the posts link. Jumping is an art. To do it the lazy way needs no real leap of height. It's an illusion. Just bend your knees as you go. Then you will look high without hurting yourself. It also helps if the photographer (you know who you are) presses the shutter while you are in the air. Otherwise it looks like you are holding up your hands at a stick up. Hmmmm? That begs the question, do you know what, "Meet you at the pass" means? It's an old west term from the movies, when the bandits split up to escape the posse. They would say, "Split up. We'll meet again at the pass." It seems they don't say that in the movies any more. And you need to be a certain age (old) to know the term.
So there was this metal bridge in the park that cut over and across the highway.
Neat. It made for a photo op. I did not have time to plan. It was cold and slightly rainy. Windy. Hey, it was Chicago! No standing around in the rain.
Mike and Me – He's the Big Guy
Yup. That's me with Mike. Who? Mike Singletary of the Chicago Bears, Super Bowl Champs of 1985. Yeah, it's like when were there four Beatles? Who? Who were the Beatles? Old. Me. Yup. The Bears won that year with a marvelous defense. The Giants – my beloved NY team won the following year. The Bears wupped their butts (Giants) on the way to their championship. Too much history? Mike came to speak at our national meeting. Last year it was Peyton Manning. Is there a theme? At least it wasn't Ben Carson again. Get it? I'm a neurosurgeon and he came out during our last meeting. Not Mike, Ben. Too confusing?
Well, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons meets once a year. And there are invited speakers. We are a very conservative lot. Not me. Them. Maybe there are a few progressives and even some Democrats among us. I, for one, don't care to have my politics mixed with business. And, no, I don't wear striped underwear or boxers. Bet you wanted to know that too.
We had Bush – you know – GW – give the Cushing oration. Cushing, he was the modern godfather of neurosurgery. In fact, Cushing trained Davidoff; Davidoff trained Ransahoff; and Ransahoff tranined me. So I am pedigreed. I digress. Mike was invited to speak and the NFL came. Everyone did a little PC dance and no one said, "Don't do it!" And we heard a discussion about chronic traumatic encephalopathy CTE. Mama, don't let your kids grow up to be Cowboys (Dallas) and don't let them play football. Mike claims he only had a concussion twice. Lucky! He's still sharp. Once was William "Refrigerator" Perry. I bet that was a boatload of fun. Meanwhile I got a picture at our opening reception. He's a sports hero of sorts. I have many. But boy was it fun! Yes! Mike and me.
Oh! Bush? The security was so tight that they did not announce he was coming until the meeting started. There was no obvious secret service presence. However, bags were checked and it was strictly no photographs. Some secretly used their cellphones. I'm way too cool for that! W actually spoke coherently. To listen to him one could understand that his TV demeanor was hardly like his real life thinking. Nice guy?! Hey, don't tell. I voted for him once.
The second election was scheduled just after our fall meeting. Gorbachev was the speaker. Remember him? The room was packed. A member of our national leadership rose and spoke – I thought to introduce Gorbachev. Nope. He said, "Bush will sign medical malpractice reform if it passes congress. Kerry and Edwards will not." He sat. The room was silent. And the implication was clear. Though I knew there was not a snowball's chance in hell medmal reform would pass I voted special interest. It was the one and only time I have ever voted for a presidential winner. Yeah, twice I voted for anarchy and Ross Perot. Don't shoot me, ma? Please.
Free Dive…For Fun?
For fun. There are a group of divers at the resort who freedive. It's a sport and a famous champion woman died in the Mediterranean recently. You dive with long fins in a camou dive suit. And there is no tank. And you train. And it is dangerous. And you don't see much fish. And there's not much to photograph. Well, to me it is about as sexy as eating broccoli. Yes, they do this for fun. I watched an instructor pour a tea cup of water through his nose to clear his sinuses. That was pretty sexy too – about as much so as a second helping of that broccoli. Remember? I never finished it. Every once in a while we see them frolicking – ok ok – training. It makes for a nice picture. I have a new dive computer. It's a Suunto – made in Finland. It's a great computer used by most of the serious divers around here and recommended highly to me. The computer cable to my Mac does not work. The dive watch does not connect. The Finns made a piece of crap cable and software connection that is a complete opaque piece of junk to connect. There, I ranted against this great watch. But what good is it that I paid an extra $100 for the cable and can't get the benefit? (I hope you see this Suunto company. So far you have not solved my problem.) Anyway the dive watch has settings: Air, freedive, nitrox, and off. You set the watch before your dive. Duh? So one day I messed up. I hit the tiny buttons and the dive watch set itself for freedive. And when I was underwater I was locked in. So for 78 minutes I was underwater on a scuba dive and the watch was calculating a freedive. Oh my! I set a new world record.
I'm friends with the instructor who pours tea through his nose. (Don't ask.) I showed him my watch and he laughed and laughed. These characters take pictures of their dive watches after a successful freedive. He declined a photo of my watch. Not famous enough I guess.
I hide out in an alcove of the hospital. No office. Nowhere to hide. There was an area on the second floor…but they told me people would hide out and have sex. Damn, why do I always miss out on stuff like that. So I am being harassed by my buddies. They make fun that they see me sleeping when they walk by. I know it's not true because they have never complained about my snoring. Faisal is on the right. He is from Yemen and is my gym buddy. He calls to wake me when I pass out on the gym mat. Rida is my neighbor in the compound and the chief of eye surgery. The whole body – and all he cares about is 2 square centimeters of eye. Yeah, pretty funny. Obviously I was not sleeping. I took the picture! Right? Yes, it's not much of a portrait, but then again this was not a beauty contest.
Interlude II
It's a memory test. Back on March 21, I wrote the first post and forgot two images. Aha! Too late. So, new post. The first is my sea lion. The poor guy was lethargic and in retrospect, I agree, he was probably ill. At the time I was more thankful that he posed and did not shuffle away. In fact, he stayed in place for several hours at least. He made no move when I approached. I apologize that I never considered calling for help.
As I related to you, Stewart arrived twenty minutes later. He'd rushed to get his camera. I already was on the scene and had my camera and my shots. So I took advantage to work the scene. It was at Stewart's expense. His daughter and mine are best friends from kindergarten. So Stewart and I have spent many a time photographing subjects. One rule: get low, it gives you a more natural image from that angle. Adapting that, he knelt on the pavement. A purist would have gone for the rocks. I laughed. The daughters will too. Me? I just sat down. No need to scrape my knees and elbows. I took advantage of civilization.
It's that same trip to Africa. We were camping. Gee, all the sudden I got camp memories. I've been a Boy Scout. Tent, no running water, no shower, open fire, sleeping bags… This was not too shabby at all. The tents had a floor and a cot and blankets and screens and a porch…. The Masai escorted us to and from the dining tent. In the dark it was a possibility to be attacked… by lions. Oh my! The morning we departed I shyly motioned for a picture. Soon enough these guys all rushed to be in the picture. All smiles and delighted to have their picture taken, I was surprised. I usually am not so straightforward to impose upon strangers. And their enthusiasm charmed me. I was searching for that African jump image. This smile one always brings a fond memory and smile to me. Yup, a highlight image!
Everyone happy? You bet. People were smiling for two days straight. Unlike weddings before digital, the smart phone has captured spontaneity and turned everything on end. I still like a real image, you know, real camera? But the smartphone captures that moment in ways film never could. Instant. Instant feedback. Do over. Yup. No waiting. It's the new order. There are more smartphone images and by far iPhone images online than traditional camera images. Bet you knew that. I'm still amazed at how digital imaging has so easily allowed us to take images in the dark. No flash. No muss. No fuss. Totally spontaneous. Ok, so I shot with a real camera and with a real flash. But you get the idea. They walked away with a shot in hand immediately. Hello World!
Jules' co-teacher secretly had their class do a project and gave the album to her just before the wedding. Some pages, not necessarily the best are shown. You'll get the idea. I wonder why no one else ever did this. I guess I have not been to too many teacher weddings. Come to think of it, it was a relatively small group. College friends, high school friends, close relatives the guest list did not include many co-workers at all. Even occasional relatives were left out. It was a cozy campground and everyone simply mingled, partied, and had a good time for a couple of days in California. Yeah, the kids planned it pretty perfectly.
Laugh, cry, weep…it's a new generation. From the mouths of babes…may your days be filled with happiness…an album of sage advice from a certain innocent perspective. Listen to your kids. They want a happily ever after ending too.

Very Young Composers of Fukushima and New York (TOMODACHI Suntory Fukushima Mirai Music Program)
This concert is part of the TOMODACHI Suntory Fukushima Mirai Music Program, which brings eight Japanese high school students from Fukushima prefecture to New York City. This program was launched in February 2016 by Suntory Holdings Limited (Suntory) and the TOMODACHI Initiative, and is held in collaboration with the New York Philharmonic's Very Young Composers program.
The program provides students in the wind ensemble club at Fukushima Futaba Mirai Gakuen High School opportunities to rehabilitate their hearts through music. The Japanese students have been creating their own arrangements of the Japanese song Furusato, which means "hometown" in Japanese. During the concert, New York Philharmonic musicians and guest artists will perform the music created by Very Young Composers from Fukushima and New York City.
These activities are a continuation of the collaboration between TOMODACHI and the Philharmonic in the 2014–15 season.
Tickets are free and the event is open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited.
For more information, please visit the New York Philharmonic's event page.

Panasonic VIERA TH-P50UT30A 3D plasma TV
Panasonic's cheapest 3D plasma is good value for money
- Good picture quality
- Good motion control
- Value for money
- App interface and variety could be better
- Default settings don't look great
Bottom Line
As the cheapest possible 3D plasma TV available from Panasonic, the VIERA TH-P50UT30A has a lot to deliver: it's a 50in screen that can be found for under $1000, with built-in Web apps and video on demand. Premium features are at a minimum, but anyone wanting them can easily purchase an appropriate Blu-ray player with these extras built in.
Price$ 1,299.00 (AUD)
The Panasonic VIERA TH-P50UT30A is the company's cheapest 3D plasma TV, and its second cheapest 3D TV overall. It's cheap when you consider that for less than a $1000 (street price) you get a 50in current-generation plasma panel with a 2000000:1 contrast ratio and 3D support, including 2D to 3D conversion.
Panasonic VIERA TH-P50UT30A: Design and features
The Panasonic VIERA UT30A plasma TV doesn't have the styling flair of a Sony HX925 or Samsung Series 8, but it's not an ugly set — despite the two-tone finish, the UT30A looks clean and simple. Its black bezel is quite shiny, and is thicker than competitors' sets — this means it sometimes causes distracting reflections if you're sitting in the wrong spot in a brightly-lit room.
The 50in model of the VIERA UT30A measures 1212x782x93 mm and weighs 34kg when it's assembled — its wall-mounting weight is around 30kg. It's thicker and heavier than an equivalently-sized LED TV, but this is true of almost all plasma TVs. If you want a thin plasma, you'll have to spend a lot more than $1000 to get one.
Panasonic has a simple and attractive -- if slightly gaudy -- menu system.
The screen of the Panasonic VIERA TH-P50UT30A is not as glossy as its bezel, but it still reflects light sources placed directly in front of it. We'd put it about half-way in between a matte TV screen and the super-glossy Sony HX925 in terms of reflectivity. As usual we'd recommend removing as much light from your viewing area as possible — invest in some good curtains — and using a bias light to reduce eye strain if possible.
You can choose from three HDMI ports, various A/V connectors and SD/USB input on the Panasonic VIERA UT30.
The Panasonic UT30's feature-set is basic when compared to premium Panasonic models (and the majority of models from LG, Samsung and Sony): it's got three HDMI ports rather than the usual four, no built-in Wi-Fi, and no 3D glasses are included in the TV kit. If you can hook up an Ethernet cable, or if you want to spring for the $99 Wi-Fi USB adapter, the VIERA UT30A has built-in access to Panasonic's VIERA Connect online app market, which has video on demand services from YouTube, ABC iView and Yahoo!7 pre-loaded. There are several dozen apps available including Facebook and Twitter. The app interface isn't as good as LG and Samsung's services, which are more comprehensive and easy to navigate, and Panasonic doesn't have as many apps on its market — but this isn't a problem if you're only looking for the major video on demand services (iView and YouTube are our perennial favourites).

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Alexander Graham Bell kisses his daughter Daisy inside a tetrahedral kite, October 1903.
Bang's theorem holds that the faces of a tetrahedron all have the same perimeter only if they're congruent triangles. Also, if they all have the same area, then they're congruent triangles.
Buckminster Fuller proposed establishing a floating tetrahedron in San Francisco Bay called Triton City (below). It would have been assembled from modules, starting with a floating "neighborhood" of 5,000 residents, with an elementary school, a supermarket and a few specialty shops. Three to six neighborhoods would form a town, and three to seven towns would form a city. At each stage the corresponding infrastructure would be added: schools, civic facilities, government offices, and industry. A full-sized city might accommodate 100,000 people in a single building. He envisioned an even larger tetrahedron, with a million citizens, for Tokyo Bay.
The moral of Fuller's 1975 book Synergetics was "Dare to be naïve."
Close Dosage
You're on a drug regimen that requires you to take one pill a day from each of two bottles, A and B. One day you tap one pill into your palm from the A bottle and, inadvertently, two pills from the B bottle. Unfortunately the A and B pills are indistinguishable, and taking more than one B pill per day is fatal. And the pills are very expensive, so you can't afford to throw out the handful and start over. How can you arrange to take the correct dose without wasting any pills?
Podcast Episode 65: The Merchant Prince of Cornville
Edmond Rostand's hit play Cyrano de Bergerac met an unexpected obstacle in 1898 — a Chicago real estate developer who claimed that it plagiarized his own play. In this week's podcast we'll review the strange controversy and the surprising outcome of the lawsuit that followed.
We'll also hear an update on the German author who popularized an American West that he had never seen and puzzle over a Civil War private who refuses to fight.

Taber Bills
In 1799, Massachusetts passed a law restricting private banking companies from issuing their own currency notes without the consent of the legislature. This was well intended: If unlimited paper money were allowed to circulate, the resulting inflation would play havoc with the finances of ordinary people.
Unfortunately, the result was that legitimate currency became harder and harder to find. In Maine, where only a single bank existed, people were increasingly desperate for currency, and so the Portland merchant John Taber began to circulate notes for 1, 2, 3, and 4 dollars, payable to the bearer in silver on demand, despite the law:
This worked for a while, propped up by Taber's reputation. But Taber's profligate son Daniel began to print bills for his own use as he needed them, and when Massachusetts repealed its law John Taber and Son were forced into bankruptcy.
When it was over, Taber approached his old partner Samuel Hussey, who owed him $60. Hussey invited him into his counting room, counted out the amount in Taber's own now-worthless bills, and asked for a receipt.
Taber said nervously, "Now, thee knows, friend Hussey, this money is not good now."
"Well, well, that is not my fault," said Hussey. "Thee ought to have made it better."
(From the Collections and Proceedings of the Maine Historical Society, 1898.)

Kirkman Schoolgirls Problem
"Fifteen young ladies in a school walk out three abreast for seven days in succession: it is required to arrange them daily, so that no two shall walk twice abreast."
The Rev. Thomas Penyngton Kirkman posed this query innocently in The Lady's and Gentleman's Diary in 1850. It's trickier than it looks — though seven solutions are possible, they're difficult to discover by trial and error. Here's one:
Each letter appears once in each row, but no two letters share a cell more than once. The problem's simplicity made it popular among Victorian amateur mathematicians, and Kirkman later complained that it had eclipsed his more serious work — though he took pains to dispute James Joseph Sylvester's claim to have invented the problem himself.
Do such problems generally have solutions? Surprisingly, the answer remained unknown until just last January, when Oxford mathematician Peter Keevash showed that the answer is yes if certain basic requirements are met. Keevash's result was "a bit of an earthquake as far as design theory is concerned," said Cambridge mathematician Timothy Gowers.
Now that the schoolgirl problem is under control, a related challenge has taken its place. If 20 golfers want to arrange themselves into different foursomes on five successive days, is it possible to plan the groups so that each golfer plays no more than once with any other golfer? Formally the "social golfer problem" remains unsolved — though tournament organizers work out individual solutions every day.
(Thanks, Martha.)
Law and Punctuation
In Ward v. Ward, a North Carolina court's entire finding rested on the presence of a single comma. The will of Alvin T. Ward read:
My Trustee is directed to pay such amounts of and from the income generated by said trust, and from the principal of said trust if he deems same to be advisable, to, for, or on account of my said wife in quarterly installments or more frequently if he deems advisable and if practicable.
Is the trustee required to pay the income to Ward's wife, or can he use his discretion? The income payments are required, ruled the court: The comma after "said trust" shows that only the distribution of the principal is left to the trustee's judgment.
In Henderson v. State, Jacob Henderson's 1984 burglary conviction in Mississippi was reversed in part because of a misplaced period:
The Grand Jurors for the State of Mississippi, … upon their oaths present: That Jacob Henderson … on the 15th day of May, A.D., 1982.
This is a "non-sentence," noted the court. "The unmistakable period after 1982 is used by astute defense counsel to nail down the point — that the indictment fails to charge that Jacob Henderson did anything on May 15, 1982." (This whole indictment is a notorious trainwreck.)
And in People v. Vasquez, a New York court disregarded an affidavit and dismissed a complaint because a misplaced comma made it unclear whether a key affidavit was hearsay:
"It may be that the confusion [about the affidavit] arises from the typographical error of placing a comma before the expression 'upon information and belief,'" wrote the court. "Had the comma not existed, the entire expression 'and that the assertion upon information and belief' would have referred back to the earlier mentioned accusatory instruments so as to render the affidavit non-hearsay."
Hour of Babel
A problem from the second Balkan Mathematical Olympiad, 1985:
Of the 1985 people attending an international meeting, no one speaks more than five languages, and in any subset of three attendees, at least two speak a common language. Prove that some language is spoken by at least 200 of the attendees.

The rooms were really nice and comfortable and it's a plus to have a tv in the room and a tv in the living room so that people can watch their own shows. It is downtown and as a family traveling with a baby, there is not much around the area for us. All the restaurants were closed except for TGIF that's located in the hotel lobby. Parking is free when we booked online but when we arrived, it's actually $10. We ended up parking on the street with free parking for a Saturday night. This hotel is great if you want to be downtown, but there was nothing around for us as a family. Will stay again if I ever need to be in the downtown area.

Amy Choate-Nielsen: Caring for creation: Faith groups have a role in environmental causes
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
At first glance, the simple red brick church at the end of the road looks a lot like all of the other red brick churches in Farmington, Utah. There's a view of the mountains on one side and a maze of power lines on the other, but on this fairly warm February day, the clue to what makes this church different is on the roof: solar panels and a light dusting of snow.
The solar panels are an obvious difference. The snow is subtle. It melted on the grass and the pavement a long time ago, but on the roof — a place often warmed by a building's escaping heat — it's still frozen. That's a good sign to the Interfaith Power and Light activists gathered in the lobby for a tour of the building owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For one thing, it's a sign of energy efficiency. For another, it's a sign of change.
Faith groups have not always held a proactive role in addressing environmental issues. In the late 1960s, some scholars even went so far as to blame the Christian concept that humans have dominion over the Earth for the damage that's been done to nature over the centuries. Religious groups in turn, have bristled at an environmentalist cause that seems to focus on worshipping nature, rather than the God who created it. But experts say religious attitudes toward the environment are now shifting to be more proactive toward preservation.
In 2010, an average of 47 percent of churchgoers said their clergy regularly teaches about the environment during Sunday sermons, according to a survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. And the message is commonly one of stewardship and responsibility, experts say. As faith groups take more of an active role in teaching worshippers to "care for creation," some conservationists say they look to religion to have a key role in changing America's environmental future ?— and addressing climate change.
Some changes are already taking place, such as in this Farmington church. It capitalizes on natural light, saves water, provides its own energy and is recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
"It's just being a good citizen," said David Alley, an architect for the LDS Church, as he led the crowd through the church's ultra-eco-friendly prototype. "One of the impacts of LEED certification is (asking), 'Do we become better citizens?' I think we do."
Religious influence
Last June, Dave Folland, a retired pediatrician-turned-environmental activist with the Citizens Climate Lobby, found himself sitting in a senator's office in Washington, D.C., discussing climate change.
He wasn't having much success — until he read out loud a statement from a scientific committee assembled by the pope last year to study why certain glaciers are melting.
"We call on all people and nations to recognize the serious and potentially irreversible impacts of global warming caused by the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants," reads the statement, signed by members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences at the Vatican. "We are aware that, if we want justice and peace, we must protect the habitat that sustains us. The believers among us ask God to grant us this wish."
At those words, Folland said he finally got the attention he was looking for, and an insight into just how powerful religion can be in presenting a moral argument in favor of caring for the environment.
Although scholars acknowledge the impact religion has on shaping an individual's values and morals, people of faith might not agree when it comes to the environment. According to the 2010 Pew poll, only 6 percent of those surveyed said their religious beliefs influence their opinions on tougher environmental regulations.
