Markets Shrug Off Moody's Move on Banks
By WSJ Canada Staff
Moody's Investors Service Inc.'s move to lower its rating on six of Canada's big banks by a notch Monday caused a brief dip in the Canadian dollar versus its U.S. counterpart, though the loonie has since retraced those losses.
Canada's relatively robust financial sector had been a long-time source of strength for the loonie, and the Moody's move highlights the potential instability caused by high household debt levels. However, the move wasn't that much of a surprise, given that the ratings agency served notice three months ago by placing the banks' ratings on negative watch.
The loonie was already under pressure as the market pares expectations for Bank of Canada rate hikes, and it's still down on the day.
As for the stock prices of the banks involved, the immediate reaction was also muted. Shares of the affected banks – Bank of Montreal Bank of Nova Scotia Toronto-Dominion Bank Canadian Imperial Bank and National Bank of Canada – are all up slightly. The sixth affected bank – Caisse Centrale Desjardins – isn't publicly traded.
The move also had no immediate impact on Canada's government bond market.

New March 25, 2011
You should also consider what efforts the plaintiff took to minimize the effects of (his/her) injury.
One who has been injured by the negligence of another must use reasonable care, such as following doctor's instructions regarding the treatment
of (his/her) injuries, to promote recovery and prevent any aggravation or increase of the injury. The plaintiff is not entitled to be compensated
for any injury or aggravation of injury caused by (his/her) failure to minimize damages. Thus, you should reduce the damages awarded to the plaintiff
to the extent you find that the plaintiff made (his/her) condition worse by not taking reasonable care to promote (his/her) recovery or prevent any
aggravation or increase of the injury. It is the defendant's burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the plaintiff has failed to
minimize (his/her) damages.

OAKLAND -- Draymond Green is rising, Harrison Barnes has been falling, and together I think the Warriors' yin/yang sophomore duo could control whether this team rises or falls as a whole this season.
That is, of course, figuring that the other Warriors mainstays are relatively complete pictures:
Stephen Curry is the team's best player, David Lee and Klay Thompson are known quantities, and Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala are vital defensive cogs with room to help more on offense.
Also, we'll see what Jermaine O'Neal and/or Festus Ezeli can provide coming back from injuries and what Jordan Crawford and a few other bench players can do on the margins.
But, as the Warriors' recent 3-6 skid heading into Thursday's game against Los Angeles Clippers showed, there seems to be something vital missing.
So, if the starting unit is essentially a given night to night (with its own strengths and weaknesses), who else can lift the Warriors into true Western Conference contention?
Well, it could be the mercurial, versatile Barnes, who, until Thursday night, mostly hadn't performed anything like he did in last season's playoffs.
In a blast from the recent postseason past, Barnes exploded for a few dunks and knifing drives early against the Clippers as the Warriors built a large lead.
If Barnes finds a comfort zone and plays like that for the rest of the season ... the Warriors will be a much deeper, much more dangerous team.
But generally this season, the Warriors' second unit has been broken offensively without Barnes at electric top form -- and he has looked harried and uncertain.
Or the big lift could come from Green, who has picked up from his rookie season and given the Warriors some of their best defensive energy this season.
If Green takes over leadership of the second unit, and if Barnes is there with him, the Warriors look a lot different -- a lot sturdier -- than they have for much of this season.
They're the Warriors' double X-factors. Barring a major trade, they're the franchise's best hope for this season and largest open question.
For now, coach Mark Jackson is giving both his full support, and he makes it clear that though they're both bench players, they play two different roles.
Green is mostly a backup power forward or big small forward; Barnes is slated as an offensive catalyst at the wing positions, though he excelled as a small-ball power forward in the 2013 playoffs when Lee was injured.
Really, the Warriors need them both, but if Barnes slacks off, Jackson will probably have to move some of his minutes to Green.
"We love his energy; we love the way he battles, competes," Jackson said about Green before the game. "We love the way he headhunts, setting great screens, getting guys open.
"He does everything that says, 'Give me more minutes.' "
So what is Barnes' play saying these days?
"There's certain guys in this league and on teams that, their minutes are going to be their minutes," Jackson said.
"Harrison's not going to dwindle down to no minutes or less minutes.
"The vision for this basketball team -- he's a huge part of what we're doing. He's a huge part of my vision. And I believe in him."
Heading into Thursday's game, Green was averaging just over 19 minutes a game, up from 13.4 minutes as a rookie.
Barnes was averaging 29.3 minutes, after averaging 25.4 minutes his rookie season.
The first Warriors reserve player to get into the game was Barnes -- for Thompson. The second was Crawford -- for Iguodala.
The third reserve to check in was Green -- for Lee.
And almost immediately after getting into the game, Barnes started rocketing to the basket for easy baskets; he had 10 points at halftime -- his first double-digit game since Jan. 15, eight games ago.
"When you believe in somebody that doesn't mean you just believe in them when they're rolling," Jackson said before the game. "The Harrison Barnes that showed up 12 games in the playoffs started the whole year -- that guy didn't play 82 nights.
"We believed he had that in him and I still do. So he will play his minutes, he will get his calls, he will get his touches, and he's going to be just fine."
That's what the Warriors have believed all season, and that's just about the only way they can move into the West's upper echelon.
They have Green. They need Barnes. And if Barnes isn't there every night, they'll need more and more from Green ... and everybody else.

- - Report from 4/8 (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-snowboard-coaching/48190-report-4-8-a.html)
Report from 4/8
Hey folks,
I went up to Cypress Mountain on Sunday as planned. I decided to go for a multi-prong attack: 1) Extended the toe-ramp on my bindings, 2) Practice the slight shoulder rotation as SnowWolf said, 3) Lean even more forward, 4) Signed up for another private lesson. Here's how it went:
The Good:
1) Extended the toe-ramp
Wow, this made a *ton* of difference! The toe edge really engaged much sooner than last week. Granted, the conditions were also great with little ice, but there were still some icy patches that I experimented on and I was able to get the edge to dig in.
2) Shoulder rotation
This was tricky; the instructor actually advised me to imagine holding a hula hoop and turning it from side to side to initiate the turn. This sounded really shady because everything I've read from SnowWolf and SnowProfessor tells me that the shoulder movement should be subtle and not a swinging motion. Nevertheless, I tried the hula hoop thingie and as I fear, I almost caught the front edge a few times. I told the instructor that I'll pass on the hula hoop and practice the slight shoulder rotation and looking in the direction of the turn as SnowWolf suggested. Much better!
3) I asked the instructor how my posture looked in terms of a) weight centered/forward b) Right hand near the tail of the board and c) Counter-rotation of the shoulders
He kind of laughed at my holding my pant leg to keep my weight centered. That annoyed me. I told him that I had a problem with leaning back and this tip has helped me a lot. He said that my posture now was OK and I don't need to hold the pant leg. Nevertheless, I tried a steeper green later on and definitely needed to use this trick whenever I hit a steeper run. He said I didn't have "much counter rotation" and my rear hand was positioned correctly. I hope he was watching carefully and not just saying that.
4) New stuff
The instructor said I should start practicing flexion and extension even on the easy greens at this stage. I'm not sure if it's early for this and whether I should gain some speed confidence first, but I figured, I'm paying for this, might as well learn what I can. He had me do these drills while traversing in one direction and then the other. I'm fuzzy about the timing (when should I flex and when should I extended). I haven't paid much attention to this yet so I need to go back and read watch SnoWolf's video on dynamic riding.
He also had me do wider arcing turns to gain more speed and confidence. After a lunch break, we met up again and went on a steeper green (Collins at Cypress). I was quite pleased with my progress and was able to link turns on some of the steeper parts without kicking my back leg out. On the flats, he introduced the leaning technique that SnowWolf talks about on his Cat Track video. I found it harder to do this because I couldn't get the board to turn using the sidecut; there was always some skid. Also caught a couple of edges on the flats. I practiced some flatbasing on the flats to keep up speed.
The Bad:
1) My boots are definitely packing in. I can feel my heel lift even while walking now, and was worried I'd twist an ankle while on the runs. I kept retightening the stupid speed laces every run. Ordered size 9 and 9.5 K2 Maysis from REI when I got home. Will keep whichever fits properly (no more stock in store). Currently sporting size 10 Soloman Synapse Wide.
2) My right knee really starts to get sore from the flexion after a run or two. I might change the angle on my rear binding to point backwards a bit (is that a positive angle?) and see how that affects my knee in a couple of weeks
3) My feet burn like crazy on the toe-edge! I think I need to use my orthotic insoles in my inner boot. I have really flat feet (which is what contributed to the knee dislocation in the first place)
The Ugly:
By the time of the the third run down Collins, my knees and feet were completely fried and I kept falling and catching edges due to bad technique. I think it came from fatigue. I rested for half an hour and did one more run which went well and decided to end the day on a high note :)
Next Steps:
I'm travelling this weekend so there will be a two week gap. There are still some places open in the PNW so I'll keep trying to gain mileage and confidence with speed. Hopefully the new boots should help too.
I too have no clue as to the flex and extension and when or how to do that. Same with the unweight and upweight - I still have to figure out how to do what Snowolf suggests I work on with regards to unweighting. I read and read and read yet can't put that into doing. I am more visual and I have to see it and have it make sense before I can try it - if not, forget it - it doesn't sink in.
I too had problems with my toes on my toeside turns. When I am on longer runs, i.e. 10 minutes or so, my toes tend to fall asleep and they HURT like a mofo! If I am on shorter runs, i.e. 5 minutes or less, I don't have that problem. My boots feel comfortable, but I think it has to do with how much pressure I keep putting on my toes because I have problems engaging my toeside edge. I got a new board this past week and noticed that I don't have to press so much on my toes - so maybe when we go to Copper next year the long runs won't be a problem. :rolleyes:
After these past three days my right knee is totally KILLING ME. I have iced it but still, it is very VERY swollen. But that's just age talking I'm sure! :laugh:
Handscreate suggested the pant leg for me also so I'm going to try to keep my hands down next year as we are done for the season this year. I also need to work on bending my front leg and leaning forward into my turns on the steep terrain - which of course is scary for this old lady! :p
Keep up the good work - I know how frustrating it can be!
Your welcome! I have no desire to go fast - unless I'm in a car! ;) Something about being confined in something metal I have no problem with, falling at a high speed with the possibility of breaking something or getting hurt at 52 - I have a problem with that! lol
My goal was to snowboard like I was just taking a leasurely walk, heelside, toeside and get down the mountain is enough for me. :D But the steeper runs - well, let's just say those aren't "leasure" runs! lol They take work and my knee is living proof of that! lol
My second year I have struggled as I started off the year with some Flow NXT AT step in bindings and I could never dial them in. No matter what I tried I felt like I could not turn the board heelside or toeside without feeling like I was going to fall. Yet, I didn't give up and kept thinking it would get better - NOT! It was like I was going backwards in my learning. Finally after 2 months my husband told me to put my old bindings back on - which I did and then I felt like I was back to where I ended the first season. However, then I decided to try a wider stance and that is when the knee problem started up and I still couldn't progress. I suffered the next two months with this pain behind my knee. Then I finally decided about three weeks ago to narrow my stance which was better, but I still hadn't dialed in my angles and was wondering if a different board would help my toeside turns engaging and WOW what a difference! Now that I FINALLY have my stance and angle and board dialed in, the season is over - :mad:
So, I can't wait until next year because I feel like this was a wasted year for me - just haven't progressed as fast as I thought I should. Time will tell! :dunno:
Your instructor laughed at you for holding your pant leg? I'm sorry to hear that. My friend is a Level 3 instructor & uses that tip to teach her beginning students & more advanced who don't lean forward enough. Eventually you should drop the pant leg once you're feeling more comfortable with your stance.
I would suggest trying your rear binding at a negative angle (angled towards the tail of the board). You will likely find it will aid in your ability to control your turns much better. Also, I don't think it's ever "too early" to start working on flexing & extending the knee to initiate turns. Picking it up early will help to prevent some bad habits & will help you progress a little quicker as you learn to flex your knees in & out of turns, weighting & un-weighting your body - but don't hurt yourself in an attempt to get better or you'll end up regressing instead of progressing. The speed confidence will come as you progress. I think you should develop your skills before being concerned about going faster down runs. One you have the technical skills down you'll find you'll be more comfortable riding at faster speeds since you will have built up your confidence in your ability to handle most anything (if not anything/everything) you'll encounter on the runs you're riding.
I would suggest riding centered on your board. If your board is directional, you're likely setback a little - in which case you can widen your stance a little - maybe 1 mounting hole out from where you are. If directional, move your front binding forward 1 hole, if twin play with to find a setting that feel comfortable for you. I think you'll find it a little easier to control your board with just a little more length in the nose than the tail.
As far as the difficulty of the runs/terrain, well I am an advocate for pushing ones self onto blues & steeper greens, as you'll be forced to put what you've learned into effect instead of just being "comfortable" riding something that you've come to know. The change in terrain is kind of like muscle confusion in a workout regimen. The more new/harder terrain you try to incorporate, the easier the stuff you know will become & you'll advance faster. However, don't bite off too much more than you can chew. It's ok to side slip a blue or steeper green the 1st time to feel it out, but try to make turns towards the bottom & then the next time going down it try to link turns as much as you comfortably can, even if it means side slipping halfway & then turning, until you're at a point where you can make turns the whole way down. This is a sport where pushing yourself (within reason) will prevent you from plateauing out & getting comfortable with what's easy & familiar. Don't confuse this with me telling you to push yourself to an unsafe riding situation, but more a friendly shove in the right direction
I tried the easiest blue on the mountain but the "easiest" blue was covered in moguls and I was like "Um, ok, falling leaf on the heal edge it is". Managed to consistently link on the transition from the blue to the green which was a nice way to end the day. Caught the flu but hopefully will be recovered enough to go again on Saturday. Racing against the summer now; four more weekends before Crystal closes for the season, so I really need to step it up and link on blues before the season is out. Wish I had a camcorder to request a critique, but that will probably have to wait till next year.
Your only problem will be that those last couple weeks will only see Green Valley running, and that only serves hard blue/low black terrain. By the time that rolls around you should know whether you can handle those runs or not though.

A smoother ride along Canton Road in Springfield Township is what many are hoping for.
A public meeting Nov. 21 allowed for comments to be submitted on what improvements should be made to Canton Road from Sanitarium Road to Arcadia Road. The meeting drew about 30 people along with public officials from Springfield Township and Lakemore.
The biggest concern along the stretch is to improve the rideability and reduce the number of crashes that occur along the stretch. Improvements are slated to coast $8 million dollars.
"The major improvements include a dual (side by side) northbound left turn lanes that will be used to shorten the queue of left turning vehicles," said Heidi Swindell, Summit County government affairs liaison.
In addition to the northbound lane, an eastbound right turn only lane will be added on US 224 to permit right-turning vehicles to escape the line of through vehicles at the US 224 and Canton Road intersection.
Plans also call for a raised concrete barrier on Canton Road from US 224 to a point south of Arcadia Road. This barrier will prevent left-turning vehicles into and out of the numerous driveways in that area. South of the raised median to Springfield Lake Drive and north of US 224 to Linwood, a center turn lane will be constructed for two-way, left-turn traffic.
"At the end of each of the two-way, left-turn lanes, a U-turn lane will constructed to provide a spot for the left turns that are being denied by the barrier to be made," said Swindell.
Numerous driveways will be narrowed to better define the entrance and exit and redundant drives will be closed off. Also, the plan calls for an update to the traffic signals, curbs and sidewalks will be installed on the west side of Canton Road.
Engineering is underway, but construction is not slated to begin until 2018.
Those wishing to submit feedback for the project can do so by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

ALAMEDA -- From the beginning of the Dennis Allen era, the Raiders promised to be multiple on defense. They would mix in zone with man-to-man, and occasionally change between 4-3 and 3-4 and use the blitz.
Offense, and the running game in particular, was a different story. The Raiders were going back to the zone scheme fulltime, a system they ran with Tom Cable from 2007 through 2009.
During the bye week, with a stalled running game and a 1-4 record, Allen and offensive coordinator Greg Knapp came to the same conclusion that Hue Jackson did when he was handed the keys to the offense by Al Davis as offensive coordinator in 2010: The running game would be better suited with more diversity in terms of blocking.
It was one of the first things Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano noticed when comparing the pre-bye and post-bye Raiders on film.
"They added a little bit in the run game, they started running some more gap scheme stuff," Schiano told Bay Area reporters by conference call.
Given that Knapp has a longstanding belief in the zone scheme, chances are the change was made reluctantly, although out of necessity.
Knapp worked with Alex Gibbs, the guru of the zone system, in Atlanta. Purists of the zone blocking system -- and that includes Cable -- don't believe in deviation. Rather than fire off at a specific defender, zone runs call for more lateral movement and the clearing of an area. It takes time to perfect and execute.
Running backs hesitate only long enough to take one cut and head upfield when they find a lane.
During training camp, line coach Frank Pollack, brought in by Knapp to install the scheme said, "If you just dabble in it, you won't be able to take it to the next level without having mass chaos."
Fast-forward to the fourth quarter of the Raiders' 26-16 win over Kansas City. They rushed for 95 yards on 20 carries with a mixture of zone and more straight-ahead gap runs.
"We definitely increased our gap run blocking scheme to get a better balance and keep defenses honest, and we've done it well, so we'll keep that same kind of formula working," Knapp said. "It's a good change-up."
Center Stefen Wisniewski can see where immersing the offense in the zone scheme before blending it with gap blocking was of some benefit.
"It makes a lot of sense. That's where our coaches came from and that's their mindset," Wisniewski said. "Coming in was zone, zone, zone, zone. But I think they're starting to get to know us better and we're getting to know them and so they're seeing we can be successful doing both."
Knapp said outside zone plays accounted for much of the fourth-quarter yardage, and his hope against Tampa Bay is to get the steady gains going earlier.
"I would like to have a little more consistency on the three- to six-yard gains throughout the half," Knapp said. "But I was glad the guys stayed patient up front. I kept reminding them, 'Hey, we're going to stay with this. The score says it's OK. We're going to stay patient with our game."
Linebacker Aaron Curry continues to practice but does not appear to be in the mix in terms of playing time this week. A decision on Curry's status must be made on Wednesday. He must be placed on the 53-man roster, placed on injured reserve (ending his season) or released.

For a team of fresh swimming blood, a 103-76 loss to Conifer Tuesday night isn't so bad.
It was the first home meet and the team's first dual, and senior Olya Aden felt that, given the amount of nerves on the pool deck, the team did well.
"For the first meet, everyone was so fast and excited. I hope we can keep that up," she said, adding that she was happy to see support from so many classmates rather than having the stands full of parents and siblings.
"It went really well. We had people swim lots of events they never swam before," team co-captain Hannah McGrew said, to which teammate Jane Anderson added, "We had a lot of strong finishes and girls having lots of energy and spirit."
Conifer had depth in most events, tallying extra points for later finishes. Meanwhile, Summit had some shining stars, like co-captain Lisa Evans' personal best in the 100 freestyle. She cut about two seconds off her best time, which had plateaued at about 1 minute, 7 seconds. She finished in 1 minute, 5.76 seconds against Conifer for first place in the event.
Aden took first in the 200 freestyle and second in the 500 freestyle, and Megan Hogfeldt hovered around her best time in the 50 freestyle, finishing second in 28.64 seconds.
Meanwhile, freshman Maddie O'Malley challenged Conifer's top backstroker from Lane 5, an outsider position, and was just touched out. Conifer's Makayla Lopez finished in 1:18.08 while O'Malley clocked in at 1:18.88. That follows O'Malley's performance at the Friday invitational in Glenwood Springs, where she beat her personal best by 5 seconds. Head coach Jenny Wischmeyer plans to improve O'Malley's turns so she can be the go-to backstroker for the team.
On the flip side, Summit had some strong starts that fizzled, costing points for the young team. The 400 freestyle relay started strong with Caitlin Lorch initially carrying the team to a hefty lead. By the time anchor Jordan Bussy dove into the water, though, Conifer had regained a solid lead Bussy couldn't recover.
In the 200 freestyle relay, however, Summit again started ahead and this time maintained the lead to finish first with the team of Hogfeldt, Evans, Kitt Maxwell and Olya Aden, who had just come off the 500 freestyle.
Summit's dive team is always a help to the swimmers in overall points earned, and Tuesday was no different. Dive coach Joe Baldwin said "it's a coach's dream" to train the handful of girls on the dive team, because they listen and work hard.
Abby Akers placed third overall Tuesday, with Hailey Wyatt taking fourth and Tessa Gunnin in fifth.
"They were all within 10 or 15 points of each other," Baldwin said.
He has particularly high hopes for Wyatt, who's brand new to the team as a senior, and Gunnin.
"I hope to get them to state-qualifying scores," Baldwin said, adding that overall, "The dive team is looking fantastic. They're moving along so quickly."

1. Mac
My former desktop got conscripted as the new blogging server after I, err, dropped the computer intended for that use. A replacement Dell desktop arrived last week, and I was supposed to meet Anna to set it up with all the stuff I need.
In the middle of telling my research supervisor about a number of fun Mac OS X applications he could try out, I realized that the department had perfectly usable Mac Mini just wasting away, unloved.
They were thrilled to find someone who wanted to use a Mac, and that worked out very well for everyone involved. Now I have a pretty computer I can use to play around with Onlife, Quicksilver, Textpander, and other fun things.
Apparently it was a first-gen Mac Mini without built-in Bluetooth (duh!), so the wireless keyboard we bought from the campus computer shop didn't work out of the box.
iCal and Microsoft Entourage were less thrilling than I thought. I liked iCal's color-coding and promptly set up four different calendars. Microsoft Entourage allowed me to drag-and-drop tasks onto my calendar, but didn't really link them.
I guess if I really want a good calendar application, I'll have to write it myself. Must learn AJAX.
Essential things I installed right away: Firefox, <nop>AquaEmacs, <nop>NeoOfficeJ.

Shuler defeats Mumpower to win 2nd term
Published: Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 12:12 a.m.
Rep. Heath Shuler easily won a second term in Congress, defeating Republican Asheville City Councilman Carl Mumpower.
I am certainly honored, Shuler said. I cant be more pleased with the way the people have voted.
Shuler, a Democrat who ousted eight-term incumbent Republican Congressman Charles Taylor in the Democratic surge of 2006, has portrayed himself as a conservative on social issues who can work with either party.
Trying to carve a moderate path, he sponsored conservative initiatives like the Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act, a tough immigration bill, and worked to increase funding to protect children from Internet predators.
Shuler voted against the $700 billion bailout bill, a position supported by most voters in the district. He was rated one of the most independent freshmen congressmen by Congressional Quarterly.
Mumpower won a contested primary against Hendersonville businessman Spence Campbell and Highlands attorney John Armor.
Mumpower ran an unconventional campaign from the outset. He eschewed campaigned contributions from political action committees and the Republican Congressional Committee, fought with members of his own party and took criticism for calling for the impeachment of President Bush for not enforcing immigration laws in the country.
Mumpower tore into Shuler for raising money outside the district and taking donations from PACs. Shuler only debated Mumpower once, in a radio debate last week.
Mumpower said he was proud of his campaign. He said he is one of the few true conservatives and said he ran a tough race based on principles.
I am as proud as I can be, Mumpower said. We had an all volunteer staff. We took no lobby and party money and consistently conservative principles.
Shuler heads back to Washington with the Democratic Party holding a stronger majority and with a freshman senator, Kay Hagan, a Democrat who defeated U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole on Tuesday.
He said the Democratic Party must be responsible after picking up seats in the Senate and House. I think that it is obvious when you have a victory like this there comes great responsibility, Shuler said. We have to put the American people first.

The storms that swept through Saturday may not have lasted very long, but it was enough to cause some extensive damage throughout Augusta.
One home was completely destroyed.
"The whole back wall is gone, a little deck there and a porch down below all that's crushed in," said a representative from Big Dog Tree Service, who came out to clean up the mess.
Worst of all, animals were buried under the rubble.
"She had a bunch of animals. Still about five cats missing, still a dog under the porch we hadn't got out," the representative said Sunday. Fortunately, that dog is now at the vet and doing just fine.
The house, however, was completely destroyed.
Big Dog Tree Service estimates a 225 to 300 foot tall tree fell right on top of the house during Saturday's storms.
It took a ten-man crew, six trucks, a mini-bulldozer and even a crane to get to the bottom of it.
And despite the damage, News 12's meteorologist Adam Clark says a microburst wasn't to blame.
Fortunately, the homeowner was out running errands during the storm, and no one else was home at the time.

What is Texas Task Force 1?
TX-TF1 is a FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Task Force based in Texas and is sponsored by the state. It consists of a Type I and a Type III Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Team as well as a Water Rescue Task Force. TX-TF1 members are prepared to respond to mass casualty disasters and are trained and equipped to locate and extricate victims trapped in collapsed structures, confined spaces and trenches in highly populated areas. The Task Force is capable of responding to state and national disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes, widespread tornadoes, floods, and man-made technological and terrorist events.
*12:30 P.M. Tuesday Update*
The State's elite search and rescue group loaded up bound for Louisiana early Tuesday morning as a potential hurricane looms in the Gulf.
News 3 has exclusive video of the team as they deployed at the request of FEMA.
Packing and preparing carried a sense of urgency in College Station Tuesday morning.
80 members from Texas Task Force 1 are on high alert headed to Louisiana as Isaac is expected to make landfall as a hurricane by Tuesday night or Wednesday
"We're the only task force being deployed at this time," said Jeff Saunders, the Operations Chief for Texas Task Force 1.
"Our main objective is to stage on the clean side of the storm in Louisiana to be ready for when the state of Louisiana asks for resources," he said.
Those resources include boats for moving about potentially flooded areas and even rescuing stranded residents.
Four urban search and rescue dogs and their trainers are headed east too.
While we don't know exactly where the team is headed we do know their deployment could last as long as 10 to even 14 days.
Task Force Deputy Operations Chief Chuck Jones is preparing for up to 24 hours of intense rain with widespread flooding should the storm hit where they're headed.
"We'll basically ride out the storm at that location until we can get to the winds to die down low enough so that we can get our high profile vehicles out," said Jones.
"We're happy to be serving the United States and the citizens of Louisiana at this time," added Jeff Saunders.
A high honor of service for a select few chosen to serve as some of Texas' best firefighters, emergency responders, engineers and search experts.
The task force consists of three 80 member teams and only the blue team is being deployed at this time.
The task force has also responded to emergencies including the 9/11 World Trade Center attack, the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster.
Their last weather-related deployment was Hurricane Alex in 2010.
*Previous Story*
With Isaac due to arrive on the Gulf Coast, Texas' elite search and rescue group is ready to assist.
Around 5:00 a.m. Tuesday, Texas Task Force 1, based out of Texas A&M, deployed to a pre-staging location in Louisiana not being identified.
From there, the group will await further orders based on where the hurricane impacts the coast.
"We're the only task force being deployed at this time. Our main objective is to stage on the clean side of the storm in Louisiana to be ready for when the State of Louisiana asks for additional resources," said Jeff Saunders, Texas Task Force 1 Operations Chief.
As of right now, Isaac is due to make landfall Tuesday evening along the coast of Louisiana. It comes seven years since Hurricane Katrina devastated that state and others.
First responders from across the state are part of TXTF-1, which has assisted with the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike, along with disasters like September 11 and the Space Shuttle Columbia incident. TXTF-1 is one of 28 FEMA-coordinated urban search and rescue groups in the country.
Task Force members come from dozens of organizations across the state and can be in College Station within hours of a deployment call.
In 2011, notable deployments by the group included the Bastrop County fires and the Joplin, Missouri tornado.
News 3 was the only media outlet at the deployment and will bring you more coverage throughout the day.

Autism Talk TV and Autism Speaks
This is a guest post by Marc Sirkin, Autism Speaks Chief Community Officer. Marc manages Autism Speaks social media, marketing, websites and online fundraising.
Since joining Autism Speaks it's been one of my missions to start to bring the community together through the use of social media. We've invested in our Facebook and Twitter presence, our Ning community, our e-mail newsletters and two rapidly expanding and successful blogs – one for Autism Speaks and one for Walk Now for Autism Speaks. I am seeing some terrific conversations developing and platforms that enable the community to come together in a global conversation about autism.
At Autism Speaks, a big piece of our mission is to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to our concerns and take action to address this urgent global health crisis. Through social media, I am hoping to help move this along. You can read our entire mission here: http://www.autismspeaks.org/mission.php
A few months ago, John Robison and I started talking about how we can continue to drive a dialogue and to bring the different and disparate pieces of the autism community together. Right before the IMFAR conference, John called me to tell me about a young man named Alex Plank, who is the founder of Wrongplanet.net. John had spent some time with him and thought that Alex, despite his public criticisms of Autism Speaks, would be a terrific person to involve in this ever expanding conversation. After attending the GRASP benefit event and meeting Alex, I invited him and John to a meeting to discuss some ideas on how we might work together. I eventually spent an entire day with Alex, hashing through a bunch of very cool, social media ideas, including one terrific nugget that has now become "Autism Talk TV."
The idea is simple really, Alex was already producing a show that would feature a variety of perspectives from the autism community and we wanted to help. Not only did we want to give Alex a chance at creating a successful web show, we thought he was terrific on camera and with a promotional boost, more people might enjoy tuning into his show. Alex's lively and engaging style as a host felt right to us and we committed to doing some test shows and to act as a show sponsor to help promote the show. As a sponsor, we have no creative or content control; we do not drive Alex's content agenda, but will provide assistance where we can for access to guests and additional information as well as show promotion where we can.
Our expectations are simple: we hope Alex will produce great content in an enjoyable, web-based format and that he will build "Autism Talk TV" into a widely viewed, successful venture. At Autism Speaks, we continue to invest in the entire community and to continue to "listen" and engage the community from all corners. It is my hope that this show will drive forward the conversation and help the entire autism community come just a little closer to each other.
I think it's already working… on our blog, Jessica wrote "Although it may be surprising to see WP partnering with Autism Speaks, if it's for a project that's creating greater understanding about ASD, it's a good thing," and Dadvocate wrote "I'm honestly delighted that Alex Plank's WP is partnering with AS." I know some may find this partnership confusing or concerning and I'd ask you to allow us to explore this new partnership and see how far we can take it together. Stay tuned for more Autism Talk TV!Vodpod videos no longer available.

Famous Actor John Travolta lost his son to a seizure that may have contributed to autism without realizing that his son may have had Autism at the time of his son's death. Many Actors and families alike today have Autism Children, and most of them do not understanding how their children contracted the Autism, because Autism does not run in their immediate family. Fact is, in most cases the genes really does not play a part in contracting Autism besides the identical twin at birth, and of course there are doctors that would disagree, because the power of control and greed. But, there other doctors that would agree. It's a crazy country we live in. The signs of the times you might say.
I am a new author. Just a grandfather who wrote an incredible true story 64.000 words all true about how my grandson got Autism. After my long and exhausted research -now I am out to save millions of children who are born normal from contracting the Autism Disorder. I am out to stop what they did to my grandson that no other child should go through but unfortunately, this is happening everyday to thousands of children. I am looking for a movie producer to make this movie on what happen to my grandbaby and the sad events that we went through to save Christopher's life, and to save the millions of children of tomorrow who are born normal to Autism. I have no-money to self publish and many publishers and agents won't deal with a new author – a catch 22 that it has exhausted me, so now I'm forced to look for a movie producer with this shocking true story.
I know this is not the way to do this without an agent, but I cannot afford to do everything through the norm. I just have to take my chances against this cruel and greedy society looking for Mr. Autism Hero that can make this happen. It is known that a child can be born with Autism at birth because of the genes. A disease growing in unstoppable numbers both at birth and in years later after birth. It is also a well known fact that out of 1 in 90 children that are diagnose today with Autism Disorder a great majority is diagnose with this disease years after a normal birth, making it a puzzling effect on a great many families, including families of stature.
The mega population of Autism children that are born normal – parents find out years later when the child hits 3 to 5 years old that their children are diagnose with Autism. Fact is, for many families their child should have never been diagnosed with Autism. My findings and research took some years to authenticate. It seems that a great many families are being fed the recipe for their child to be infected in a timely manner for the Autism to take affect. This recipe is like baking a cake after a certain amount of time in the oven, the cake is baked and cooked. Same goes here for the child – after a certain amount of time adding to the deadline of no return the child starts to have developmental delays on most of his functioning mentally at 3 to 5 years of age. In Christopher I was ordered to feed this recipe to him in a nine month period which was to short to soon that he almost died. Whether this is intentional or not we would never know, what we do know is that greed and profits exist in this country. Unbelievably – this is the truth, and the proof is with my grandson and my research. For a great many families their children are fed the recipe for their child to be infected in a timely manner for Autism Disorder to take affect. In the pass 3 years alone Autism has increases unbelievably. In 2007 1 in 166 children were diagnose with Autism. In 2008, 1 in 150 children being diagnose. In 2009, 1 in 130 and today 2010 the numbers now read 1 in 90 children being diagnosed with Autism. You will find that these numbers vary with different researches, but it does not change the production of Autism as we are witnessing today. In 1970, the numbers were 1 in 10.000.
In the mid 1970's the numbers fell to 1 in 2.500 children being diagnose with Autism. Fact is – if you knew the true story as to why a child who is born normal to later at the age of 4 years old that child is infected permanently with Autism Disorder, you would be writing letters to your congressman's and to lawmakers and the President. You would not be to kind to our government after knowing the truth that our government has been allowing doctors to do something to harm our children of America for 30 years infecting our children to reach this diagnose of Autism today. The $64.000.00 Question Is – "Why? Why would our Government allow this to happen to our children for 30 years? I can say this – that when it comes to stocks no one cares about the outcome that makes them wealthier than yesterday, no one will stand in their way. They could care less about complaints or outcome of any child dead or alive, as I have researched first hand on the many children who have died from these experiments, that if the child does not die he will defiantly become developmental delay -"Autism," just like my baby. This is a Fact!
The government refuses to do anything about the leading source that is infecting our children with Autism until this day. Thirty years ago, they refuse to contact the source to look at the complaints of parents that their children are turning Autism due to this
Problem. Now, look at today 2010 with this mega population of Autism. If our government would have done something about the source causing the Autism Affect on our children back in the 1980's today my grandbaby would not have Autism Disorder today, and we would not be seeing this mega population of Autism children today 30 years later. Vaccines are not and never have been the problem. They saw a window of opportunity to cover-up the truth that was coming out in the 80's, to protect their new stock venture, by using the vaccine dilemma through privet sources. With that in mind, the medical community and suppliers threw out other excuses to pediatricians and doctors to build up ignorance and confusion. But 30 years ago a majority of parents from all over this country stood their ground on what was coursing their children's Autism, they did not believe it was vaccines although you had a few who were filled with ignorance.
My research is full proof because Christopher is alive today to show it, and the world must know what happen to Christopher and the bloody horrible tragic events that took place throughout the course of this incredible story. The medical community says Environmental or Genetics have been causing the Autism Production Problem we see today on children who are born normal to Autism, but this is a lie. Until this day, a great majority of parents will dispute that. As far as genetically inheriting the Autism disease being born with it, I fully agree to that assessment, but only to the identical twins. After my study's I came to realize that the amount of children who fall in this category "Genetics" are not quite as many as they claim it to be for the children born normal to Autism. These two terms – Genetic and Environmental was created for one purpose only – To satisfy the parents Questions and Concerns since the 1980's when the truth broke out, it was their way to redirect the parents.
As far as "Environmental", this is an assumption created for doctors to add it to Autism questions and concerns from parents. It is very easy to point out that you can catch something or a disease by touching something contaminated, and this is why doctors will throw in the Environmental Solution to all parents just to shut them up. It is all about money and over powering anyone who stands in their way by using these logical excuses. They will keep infecting as many children as they can with the Autism Affect destroying our children of our future. What I am saying may sound unbelievable but is all true, and again – I can prove it! My story is filled with true facts that if and when I publish this incredible true story to the media, I would have to move out of this county and state for the security of my family. The Autism production of our children here in America can be stopped, and it will if the people and the viewers learn the truth on what happen to my grandson. We the people in this country have lived on lies long enough in just about everything that comes from the government, I think is time for them to realize that our children in this country are more important than pharmaceutical companies and the lobbyist they hold in their purse. How much more money is enough?
How much more Autism children do they need? Aren't 1 in 90 children being diagnose with Autism today enough? Next year we will witness 1 in 50 children. If it were not for the almost dying experience that my grandson went through, I would have never found out the truth about why we have millions of children being diagnose with Autism today after being born normal. Adding my research with what happen to my grandbaby I say there is no doubt that we have so many children on Autism because of money, profit, gain, and control. This is a very serious problem that must be faced. Again, I am speaking about the children who are born normal then later when they reach the age of 3 to 5 years of age they are diagnose to Autism without families having a genetic history to the problem, and little do many families know this disease is being created deliberately.
What I need is for a Movie Producer to look my story and put it on the big screen. This is the story that thousands maybe millions of people have been waiting for, for over 30 years. What I'm asking for, is for God to send me a caring and giving producer to give me and my grandbaby this dream come true – to save as many children from Autism due to this 30 year crime-spree that has been infecting and in many cases killing our children – because is all true! If you cannot help me, please help me with a donation to publish my book – 3625 Grand Prix Drive Sebring Florida 33872-2954. Your donations will be paid back with the proceeds on what my book will make, because I am sure it will sell thousands of books. The Bible says – "Ask and you will receive", so I am asking you to please make this worthwhile donation to my address above. God will bless you for it. God Bless You.

Hello, Mr. Sirkin. The funding of autism speaks of this young man's media endeavors when he has libeled your organization, implying your main goal is to develop a prenatal test when there are severely autistic persons who bang their heads and can't speak. Others who are higher functioning such as myself who can't hold down a job is a slap in the face, to all of the good people who donated money to your organization and participated in your walks as a matter of blind faith, so that this horrible disability could be mitigated or possibly cured.
August 14, 2010 at 6:03 am
Parents seeking to help their autistic children, particularly parents of severely autistic children, should begin reconsidering their support for Autism Speaks. Alex Plank and Jon Elder Robison, two very high functioning persons with Aspergers are the new faces of Autism Speaks? The Wrong Planet hosted by Mr. Plank posts offensive remarks about parents and those seeking cures. It recently posted comments that were depraved and disrespectful concerning the passing of Dr. Ivar Lovaas who did so much to help autistic children. As a parent of a 14 year old son severely affected by Autistic Disorder who has been a supporter of Autism Speaks I no longer hear his voice when Autism Speaks.

Hey Harold,
Name's Hannah, I'm a female with high functioning autism, and I'm not sure where I stand on the issue of pro or anti cure groups…As a child I was verbal in the sense of word usage, but what is strange, despite my extensive vocabulary as a child and now as an adult of age 27, it dose not seem to matter to some folks…For example, 'She's so verbal! Why can't she just 'get over' or 'snap out of' her imagined issues? The lack of emotional reciprocity (give and take) has been quiet crippling, and the gap between myself and even my family aside from my mother who's been my biggest advocate is frustrating…
I have days I wish I were cured of this and others I do not…I've come to know there is something all folks who have some degree of autism can and do contribute to society, enriching life for those others around them…Its a glass half full or empty mentality, and which side the person wishes to see…Much music through out history has been from folks on the spectrum, inventions and poetry, writing etc…
Part of the human experience, is learning to find the beauty in the different things, autistic folks are able to concentrate and focus intently for hours on things, and create things of marvel and wonder :) In turn those that are NT in nature, are able to bring people together to work together and in there own way enrich life for others…A house divided against itself cannot stand…I say this to you Mr. Harold to bring some perspective to your world, and know that not all of us that are of the higher functioning nature, have malaise in mind…Knowing first hand the ill effects of autism has been frankly hell for my family and myself…I'm currently a self-injurer, have bouts of Anorexia, with laxative purging and Rx amphetamine diet pill abuse spanning 10 years long…
These things stemming from the autism directly or indirectly, thinking I needed to somehow change who I was, becoming frustrated and taking out that aggression on myself, my own body under sedge…The flip side to all that pain, is artwork, and music…I've been singing for most my entire life and have a voice that I use as a means to express the ache being experienced…The link to my blog is posted above with some of my drawings, digital art work and writings and musings…At any rate, the point in all of this is that things are not as bad as they often seem…This too shall pass proves quiet true, though I'm not a parent I do have autism and have lived through some hardships that have strengthened my character, and softened my regard for those who have autism of all kinds, and listen to the parents taking care of the child…At some point, I'd like to help females with autism of all degrees, with the issues that I struggle with…I could have become bitter over the hand I was dealt, but I choose to allow these things to make me a better person, and in turn help others someday…
I hope this reply finds you in good spirits Mr. Harold…
Be Well,

Wrong Planet cruelly mocked the death of Ivar Lovass- and not just one individual but virtaully all commenting on the story of his death. From where I sit this isn't funny but truly sad. AS must stand up for those without voices.

You mean people with autism have voices?

Hi all,
As the subject suggests, how do i change the subtitle properties like size, spacing, height, etc...? The default subtitle size is too large and occupying a big portion of screen as compared to MEncoder. And i have to use VLC instead of MEncoder because of A/V sync issue (that's another problem).

OAKLAND -- Warriors coach Mark Jackson calls it a thing of beauty, watching point guard Stephen Curry shoot. Certainly Curry's performance Monday qualified as picturesque.
Curry scored 16 of his game-high 28 points in the fourth quarter as the Warriors stormed back to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 106-99. He made four of his six 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, and two were downright poetic as he curled off a screen and pulled up in one fluid mission.
But not everything he did was a pleasure to the eyes.
"That dance you did on the sidelines," Warriors guard Jarrett Jack said to Curry as he left the locker room, "that was terrible."
Curry had a few celebratory moments to critique, because he made several huge plays as the Warriors erased a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit.
The Clippers took control late in the third quarter. With the Warriors playing their better defenders and unable to score, Los Angeles produced a 12-0 run, turning Golden State's five-point lead into an 80-73 deficit entering the fourth quarter. Over the final 3:12 of the third quarter, the Warriors missed four consecutive jumpers and turned the ball over twice.
But the Warriors got their rhythm back in the fourth quarter.
Jack nailed a jumper, then hit Curry for a transition 3-pointer. The Warriors trailed 82-80. Curry sank two more 3-pointers over the next two minutes, the latter from the right corner to put the Warriors up 88-86.
Curry raised his arms to the crowd, pumped his fist and skipped back on defense. He then set up Jack with a Magic Johnson-esque bounce pass through traffic for a fast-break layup and did a shimmylike dance near the Warriors bench.
Blake Griffin settled things down for the Clippers with back-to-back jump hooks in the lane. Then, after a missed hook by the Warriors' David Lee, Jamal Crawford hit a 3-pointer to give the Clippers the lead again, 93-90.
The Warriors trailed 95-92 with less than four minutes left when they put together another run.
After two free throws by Jack and a missed 3-pointer by the Clippers' Chris Paul, Curry drove and set up Carl Landry for a layup. The Warriors produced two more stops, and Curry's 3-pointer made the score 99-95 with 1:26 left.
He galloped to the huddle as the Clippers called a timeout.
"Just staying aggressive," Curry said. "We have a lot of chemistry, and Jarrett has been playing great all year. We work well together when he has the ball and I'm coming off screens, and vice versa. So it's a lot of fun playing with a cagey veteran like him."
The Warriors (25-15) have won the season series over the Clippers 3-1, which could have playoff implications though they are six games behind Los Angeles (32-10) in the Pacific Division.
"That's a young team improving for sure, but we have our sights set on playing in June," said Crawford, a former Warrior. "I'm not saying they don't. But we're looking at bigger goals than celebrating everything."
Lee returned to the lineup after missing Saturday's win at New Orleans because of a sprained left ankle. He said it was still a bit tender but well enough for him to play. Lee struggled to score, finishing with 12 points on 5-of-16 shooting, but he had 11 rebounds and six assists in 39 minutes.
The Warriors front line had their hands full with Griffin. The Clippers' All-Star starter dominated most of the night, totaling 26 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists in 41 minutes. He forced the Warriors to double-team him, which opened up the floor for Crawford (24 points) and Caron Butler (19).
It took an explosive fourth quarter from Curry to put away the Clippers, along with some timely defense. Over a three-minute stretch at the end of the game, the Warriors held the Clippers to four points on 1-of-6 shooting and now have won back-to-back games for the first time since the end of December.
"We didn't feel like we lost momentum," Jackson said. "We lost to some good teams. I never promised that we were going to go undefeated. ... Those aren't bad losses. ... You don't want to overreact to losses."
Rush tore two ligaments Nov. 2 against Memphis. His rehab will start immediately, the team said, and he will miss the remainder of the season.
Rush previously said he would be ready for training camp, but because his surgery was delayed more than two months, that would make for a quick return.

1. Moved to Vaio!: 18:50
The power adapter on my Fujitsu Lifebook P1110 has just completely given up. Fortunately, my parents had given me the Sony Vaio U1 to use as a backup computer. After a day of upgrading it from Ubuntu Breezy Badger to Ubuntu Dapper Drake (that should teach me to deselect all of the GNOME packages before I dist-upgrade!) and another afternoon for getting my various CVS Emacs stuff compiled and put together, I'm now back on an approximately working system. I still need to get software suspend working, but everything else works beautifully.
The Sony Vaio U1 is actually a pretty sweet machine. It's *tiny* - 8.9" screen and a keyboard that even I find just a bit small. No Dvorak on this one; the combination of a Japanese keyboard and chiclet keys makes it too difficult for me to remember the proper keyboard mappings through muscle memory. I type with four fingers: the middle finger and index finger of my left hand and the thumb and index finger of my right.
When Simon saw me setting up the Vaio, he insisted that I borrow a proper-sized keyboard. Heh. ;)
So I'm on Ubuntu now. It's certainly slicker than the Debian system I've just moved from, with a pretty bootup sequence and a lot of other things that Just Work. I'm no longer a poseur. The Ubuntu stickers on my skateboard actually mean something. ;) Sweet.
Now that that's sorted out, maybe I can work on my writing backlog. I owe so many people e-mail and I owe Don Marti an article...
On Technorati: ubuntu
2. Argh, need facial: 18:55
Also, I'm breaking out into pimples again. Not that you need to hear about that, but it annoys me, particularly as my bad case of zits is now immortalized in pictures of Demo
I'm going to do something about that, too. Medication's supposed to help. Sleep, too.
DemoCamp! : 22:28
I love going to conferences and geek get-togethers because I always end up having the most interesting conversations. Even though my responsibilities at Toast I.T. Toastmasters meant that all I caught of DemoCampToronto8 was just David Crow ending it with, "That wraps up
Here's an incomplete list of highlights from
- Ari Caylakyan came along from Toast I.T. Toastmasters in order to see the geek events I go to.
- Chatted with Olivier Yip Tong on the way in.
- Carsten Knoch gave me the July 1 issue of the Guardian UK that I'd blogged about. A journalist interviewed a bunch of UK-based IBM bloggers and the IBMers mentioned me as an example of a blogging student, and the article came out online on July 1. I met Carsten at Enterprise 2.0 Camp on 2006.07.20, and he went back and read my blog. (Awwwwww!) When he read my entry about the Guardian, he realized that he had that issue and that it was sitting in his recycling bin. What an amazing coincidence! I'll read through the entire thing later to see if I made it into print. If so, them my mom will be ridiculously happy to receive a paper copy of it for her scrapbook. =) Even if the article isn't there - isn't that just a nifty thing?
- Jane Zhang made me promise to blog the Social Tech Brewing event this August. The event's about women in technology, and it looks like it will be a very interesting discussion.
- I apologized profusely to Greg Wilson for not following up on the introduction to Steve Easterbrook, who teaches a course that I absolutely must take next semester and who is interested in the social side of software engineering. Greg invited me to another meeting at 9:45 AM at the Starbucks at College and St. George. (Update: I was unavoidably late and ended up at the Starbucks at 10:00 instead of 9:45. Didn't meet them. Argh! Now I look terrible. I hate being late!)
- Hypothesis: Following Greg Wilson around leads to conversations with interesting people. Data point: Hugh Ranalli. I overheard Hugh talking to Greg about computer training in developing countries, so naturally I stepped right into the conversation. (Greg told me to be nice and share! ;) ) Hugh's working with Digital Opportunity Trust on skill-oriented training (as opposed to tech-oriented; teaching presentation skills instead of Microsoft Powerpoint), and I think that's just what is needed. I'm curious about the Teach Up, Skill Up, and Scale Up programs he described for teachers, at-risk youth, and entrepreneurs.
- James Woods had a haircut, which is probably one of the reasons why I didn't remember his name, but still... He remembered mine and he makes an effort to be good with names, but was good-natured enough to forgive my lapse. =) He told me how he scheduled himself onto a yet-unplanned
DemoCamp just to make sure he'd get a slot, and of David Crow's funny reaction to that.
- James Woods introduced me to Vlad Jebelev, who used to be a Toastmaster when he lived in Missassauga. His wife was one of the club founders for a bank-based club.
- Jeremy talked to me about his work in scientific visualizations - mainly physics and chemistry. His wife's doing her PhD in biotechnology, so he's getting interested in that as well.
- With a little more time this
DemoCamp, I got to know Ian Irving through more than just his blog title. "Hi, I'm Ian Irving of falsepositives" wasn't much to go on last time, especially as I didn't feel like opening my computer then and there! ;) I noticed the Lotus Notes thing on his business card and we talked a bit about that. Then we ended up in a longer conversation about how to keep track of lots of blogs and the strategies we use, like following influencers, analyzing OPML... Ian has some pretty interesting OPML analysis tools that he should share. =) It would be good to see the intersection of blog subscriptions between your friends, for example... He's thought a lot about this attention economy, and has come up with a few things to make it personally better.
- Finally got to connect with Rick Mason. He had stumbled across my entry on networking with Moleskine notebooks. We nearly met at the Flash event on 2006.06.29, but for some reason or another he didn't make it to that one. We were supposed to meet last week for coffee, but our schedules got full.
DemoCamp did the trick!
- It was good to see Rock Jethwa at
DemoCamp. I met him at the TorCHI social the night before and thought he might enjoy the DemoCamp scene. He probably heard about it from other people, too. =)
- Rock Jethwa introduced me to Goran Matic, who's also really enthusiastic about storytelling and social computing. Awesome!
- Simon Rowland actually managed to make it out to one of the
DemoCamp parties! =)
- Andrew Burke joked about his resemblance to Simon Rowland. I laughed and said I'd probably be able to tell them apart by now, all things considered. Andrew and I chatted about Emacs. He said that geek get-togethers in California tend to be Emacs-dominated, while Toronto's more of a vi city than anything else. I really should have a dinner party just for Emacs geeks.
- Joey de Villa talked about his recent experiences with
AdSense and how Randy of KBCafe is making quite a living off targeted blogs.
- Brent Ashley collected his requisite two hugs: one coming in, one going. <laugh>
- Gabriel Mansour and Simon Rowland started talking about Asterisk. Gabriel mentioned the Asterisk + Drupal module. Simon laughed and told him the history of that particular piece - his company developed it. <grin> That was cute!
- Jedediah Smith suggested that I introduce him as a former mustard factory safety inspector if Web advertising is considered evil.
- Alan Hietala promised to check out Toastmasters. He'll be graduating within a few weeks and is looking for a programming/software development job that can take advantage of his interests in visualization and other deep hacking stuff. He's interested in doing software architecture eventually.
- Apricots and a kooshy ball!
A very good evening indeed.

4. In print!: 22:51
Yup, the July 1 issue of the Guardian has my name in print! Whee! Page 3 of the section titled Rise...
Time to send a letter to my mom. =)
Thanks, Carsten!
E-Mail from Carsten Knoch
5. Batik and ethnic clothes: 23:41
I love wearing ethnic clothes. Traditional outfits are hip enough to pass off as casual but dignified enough to go formal, possible with a little creative re-pinning. I love wearing batik-dyed or embroidered malongs, the simple tubular skirts that can be turned into dresses and sashes and sleeping bags depending on need. I love wearing my butterfly-sleeved terno and wish I had one that looked less formal. The gold-threaded cream blouse makes it too dressy, but I wear it anyway!
Of all the costumes I wear--from hacked computer T-shirts to flowing skirts to jeans and a tee--I like the traditional ones the most.
Thanks, Mom, for sending me two more malongs and a few black tops! Thanks to Pavel and Emily for bringing them from the Philippines! I want more outfits...

PEBBLE BEACH -- Clint Eastwood made the day of AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am executive Steve John on Wednesday night. He may have saved his life in the process.
The 83-year-old actor/director performed the Heimlich maneuver on the tournament director at a volunteer dinner, the Carmel Pine Cone initially reported Thursday.
"A piece of cheese went in my mouth, and suddenly I couldn't breathe," John told the newspaper. "It was as bad as it could have been. But Clint came up behind me and he knew exactly what to do. He did the Heimlich maneuver and he lifted me right off the ground."
Eastwood, the former mayor of Carmel and a part owner of the Pebble Beach Golf Links, had only practiced the Heimlich in the past.
"I gave him three good jolts, and that got it out," Eastwood said. "The look on Steve's face was different than when somebody is just coughing or joking around. I looked in his eyes and saw that look of panic people have when they see their life passing before their very eyes. It looked bad."
John, 50, is a longtime area businessman and golf enthusiast who was named CEO of the Monterey Golf Foundation in 2011. Among his myriad duties, he oversees the PGA Tour event that's taking place this week in Pebble Beach.
As part of the ownership group, Eastwood helped select John to his current post. Now John is even more indebted to him.
"Clint saved my life," John said. "He's strong. The cheese popped out, and I was fine."
"It was really pretty pleasant most of the day," Manning said. "It only got bad for the last couple of holes when it started raining. It's hard to beat being out here. It's one of the Lord's great creations. It's a pretty enjoyable 18 holes."
This year, though, with Murray filming a movie, Points is teamed with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"Playing with Condoleezza is fine," Points said. "She's very speedy, she's very knowledgeable, she's never in the way. She's just trying to play her best."
Points got off to a good start Thursday with a 5-under 67 at Spyglass Hill but shot 3-over 75 at Pebble Beach on Friday and then was disqualified from the tournament for using a practice device while waiting to make a shot on the 18th hole. He can still play Saturday but only as part of the pro-am portion of the event.
"Completely different day today," Loupe said. "Pebble played very tough. A lot of wind. A lot of people are struggling. But overall, I'm really proud of the way I battled over the last couple of hours."
Loupe said he caught the worst of the weather on first six holes, generally the best for scoring when things are calmer.
"It really started humming on 3," he said. "(No.) 4 was brutal. (No.) 6 is a beast right now. And I hit 7-iron on (No.) 7 and it's 100 yards."
Lacob has some well known competition also at 13 under with their pros -- former hockey great Wayne Gretzky, ex-Florida governor Jeb Bush and country singer Clay Walker.

Conversations: What can be done to generate more innovations from public-private partnerships?
Generating Innovations From Public-Private Partnerships
08.01.13 | By
Biomedical research is behind the scientific advances that have helped increase the childhood cancer survivor rate and improve and lengthen the lives of people living with HIV/AIDs, heart disease and cancer. The next set of health care challenges to overcome include dementia and Alzheimer's disease – neurological disorders that are on the rise and will have a major impact on our communities in the next 50 years. Researchers are already at work trying to find cures or better ways to care for individuals with these conditions.
More and more, such research is being carried out using public-private partnerships – biopharmaceutical companies working with government researchers. Research from the Tufts University Center for the Study of Drug Development found that these partnerships benefit both the biopharmaceutical industry and university researchers by providing an opportunity to work together to test new technologies and solve big problems. Much like the research being done, these partnerships are in constantly evolving, so this week our Conversations question is:
How can we better utilize public-private partnerships to advance translation of science into new medicines for some of our most challenging diseases, such as neurological disorders?
We look forward to responses from a variety of viewpoints across the health care ecosystem. This forum is designed so that everyone working in health care can share their perspective. We hope you take a moment to review the existing responses and contribute your thoughts.

Sure, Super Mario might come as quite too familiar. A new game with the same good ol'mechanics might not wow us to the extreme. The thing is, it's a Nintendo classic, with new twists, enhanced appearance and much improved features - and that says a lot!
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
People do often say that the greatest ideas are also the simplest. When Nintendo unveiled the four-player mode of the New Super Mario Bros. on Wii, people thought that Nintendo has already lost its creative juices. But now that the New Super Mario Bros. is already here, it's hard to think that the new mode is a downgrade of the legendary game.
The original Super Mario game has a formula that is so easy to understand that its very simplicity became its charisma in the video gaming industry. You just run make left and right turns, and jump until you reach the new level. That's it. There are no sophisticated moves or weapons. Just try one level, do the same moves over and over; and you'd probably get the whole trick. Amazingly, it appears to be the charm that has made the game quite famous to date.
This new Super Mario game on Wii reiterates the same Super Mario world vibe. It has playful ingenuity, lumpy environmental hazards, and power-ups that have been refined almost perfectly. This new Super Mario game might not be totally original but much of the game remains familiar to gamers who have played previous classic games by Nintendo. This new game is infused with Nintendo's trademark of excellence in design, using the traditional Mario figures and giving it a new twist.
Mario has new abilities in this game that have very significant improvements from the DS game's largely superficial inclusions. Here, the propeller outfit and penguin suit play a vital part in the game. These two can grant you abilities that will be to your advantage when used wisely. You can zip over troublesome areas, freeze enemies to become ice cubes and use them to defeat multiple enemies or have better maneuverability underwater.
Also one of the game's favorite characters, Yoshi is back, too! It adds up to the game being skillfully designed; and has remained as family-friendly as ever. Nintendo might be pushing the multiplayer focus on Wii; but it is absolutely a bona fide Mario platform, whether played alone or in groups.
Speaking of the new multiplayer mode, it is also unquestionably fun. You can have a full group of friends play with you in either story-mode or multiplayer-specific extras, New Super Mario have become thoroughly compulsive with its chaos that is hilariously slapdash. What makes it an incredible game is its lack of enforced objectives. The game is not competitive and not even cooperative. The main goal is, to reach the end. This alone makes the New Super Mario Bros. a superb, relaxing, undemanding game to play.
The overall presentation is stunning, to put it modestly. Nintendo has polished it flawlessly this time. The graphics also look astounding. It may not be the best but the combination of 2D and 3D graphics works so faultlessly. The audio and sound effects also accompany and complement the game so well. With familiar ditties and new arrangements, players will no doubt have the most enjoyable fun time with the game. I bet you're toying with the question, "And the gameplay?" Awesome! Though it remains true to its roots, it doesn't detract from working perfectly and giving players pure, unadulterated fun.
Sure, Super Mario might come as quite too familiar. A new game with the same good ol'mechanics might not wow us to the extreme. The thing is, it's a Nintendo classic, with new twists, enhanced appearance and much improved features - and that says a lot!
