MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Neither Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins nor Dayton's Archie Miller believes the Flyers' substantial edge in depth will make a big difference when the teams meet Thursday in the Sweet 16.
Dawkins has "shortened" his bench during the NCAA tournament, giving his reserves an average of just 29 minutes playing time through two games. They played a combined 46 minutes per game over Stanford's first 33 games.
Dayton, meanwhile, has 11 players averaging double-digit minutes in NCAA play. The Flyers' bench has outscored its Stanford counterparts 56-11.
Miller, younger brother of Arizona coach Sean Miller, said his team's depth has been a benefit over the course of the season. It's good for team morale, he said, and it provides the Flyers enough capable players to conduct competitive practices.
"I also think the NCAA tournament, with the media timeouts, I'm not sure depth's really an issue," Miller said, referring to the long breaks during the games. "Once you get late in the year, you're fresh. When you're on this stage, it's about adrenaline."
Dawkins is impressed with Dayton's numbers but content with the hand he's been dealt.
"He definitely has great depth, and he utilizes it," Dawkins said of Miller. "For us, we've played with our main guys the majority of the season, and that's who we are. I think our kids are accustomed to that. They're in sort of a comfort zone that way."
The Lobos and Jayhawks couldn't hurt them from deep, shooting a combined 9 for 37, just 24.3 percent.
Dayton presents a different challenge. Smaller, but quick and aggressive, the Flyers shoot 37.6 percent from beyond the arc. Three Dayton players convert 40 percent or better from 3-point distance, led by junior Jordan Sibert (79 for 184) at 42.9.
"They keep the floor spaced very well," Dawkins said. "Not only are those guys great shooters, but they handle the basketball very well. They post a difficult challenge.
"We have to be aware of where they are and ready to defend them."
It's happened just twice previously since the NCAA tournament field expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
In 1997, No. 10 Providence beat No. 14 Chattanooga 71-65, then lost to Arizona in the Elite Eight.
But three years ago, underdog Virginia Commonwealth sparkled on the big stage.
The No. 11 Rams defeated No. 10 Florida State 72-71 in overtime at the Sweet 16, then upset No. 1 Kansas 71-61 to advance to the Four Four. The magic ended there for VCU in a 70-62 loss to No. 8 Butler.
ESPN.com reseeded the 16 teams still playing and made Stanford the best of four No. 2 seeds, ranking the Cardinal fifth overall. ESPN rated Arizona, Florida, Kentucky and Virginia as its four top seeds.
USA Today disagrees. In its ranking of the 16 surviving teams, the newspaper had Stanford No. 16. Its top four: Arizona, Michigan State, Florida and Kentucky.

With the introduction of the GNU GPLv3, the GNU Lesser General Public License (L-GPL) has seen much less attention. This has changed with the recent GPLv3 conference in Barcelona, and I think it has changed for the better.
Historically, the GNU L-GPL has been drawn from language similar to, but not identical with, the GNU GPL. It is a license that can be reverted to the GNU GPL, and given the subtle differences, it may be best thought of as a disjunctive license. Often it has been used for C coded libraries, and so has often been mistakenly called the "Library" GPL. This is an error and confuses the original purpose of the GNU Lesser GPL.
Generally, the GNU Lesser GPL is meant for cases where one wishes to insure freedom in the existing work, but not control what happens in a derived or "aggregate work", one assumes made by others. This is a strategy one may choose if one is concerned with the "popularity", or use, of a package, and is an ethically valid license for a free software author to consider so long as it does not do so in a way that compromises freedom in the process.
The system libraries of the GNU project (glibc) is under the L-GPL because it serves the function and implements interfaces that already exists in proprietary system libraries. Hence, having glibc discourages the emergence or need for a proprietary libc on GNU/Linux, and so promotes freedom on the platform. This is particularly relevant since the GNU GPL does allow one to aggregate with proprietary code when linking with so called "system libraries", and hence assures the GNU platform remains built entirely with free software.
Other use cases where the GNU L-GPL may be suited include those where an existing free software library or plugin duplicates existing functionality already found in proprietary software. Hence, it may promote greater use of a free software library or plugin where the GNU GPL on it's own may not, and is doing so in a way that does not compromise freedom. Some may also feel that it is more compatible with their vision of freedom because it imposes no limitations on those creating aggregate works. One place I think the GNU L-GPL is completely unsuitable is for an original free software library where no proprietary equivalent exists, as the latter simply encourages existing proprietary software to be designed around such a library without promoting new software to be written as free software.
The GNU L-GPL has a number of important limitations, however. Perhaps the most glaring is that it was written from a time when pure static linking (and runtime dynamic linking) were the principle ways that applications and libraries were aggregated. Modern object oriented languages do not operate this way, as they may use headers which include inline code for member functions, and templates, that are compiled, rather than purely linked, to create an aggregate work. This has caused both confusion and a proliferation of special case free software licenses.
Some people who have worked on class frameworks on more modern languages have chosen other free software licenses explicitly because of this limitation, including the OpenH323 project, which choose to use the Mozilla MPL. Some of these alternate free software licenses are not compatible with the GNU GPL, and so cause other problems. Others have chosen to add privileges to the existing GNU GPL to create effects similar to what the GNU L-GPL does, but with language more specific to modern programming practices. The best example of this is found in the GNU "Runtime" GPL license, which is used for the standard C++ library that is distributed as part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). That even core GNU packages have to include multiple exception licenses speaks volumes about the effect of this limitation in the current GNU L-GPL.
The GPLv3 has been written in ways that makes it possible to standardize the practice of adding special exceptions and privileges. Going forward, having standardized language to recreate the L-GPL out of GPLv3 will mean that the core license will remain consistent rather than disjunctive, and I hope that the GPLv3 privileges template they come up with includes language appropriate to modern programming languages. In effect, it seems something like the R-GPL of libstdc++ will become the model for the new "L-GPL" once GPLv3 is ratified, and this I think is a good thing.
Ain't it better than GPL?
I mean, it has even more liberties than GPL...
Just yesterday i was watching a movie about Larry Flint (Husler Magazine) and there wa this quote:
The freedom comes with a cost: if you don't like things other people does, you can't do anything about it, they are free to do it. So i don't thing GPL is as free as GPL Lesser.
WHooo Hoooo!!!
I have won the book!!!, and i just used a Bugmenot Account... OUCH!!!
Pay now or pay later?
So would you like to lose a tiny amount of freedom now, or all of it later?
The idea behind copyleft clauses is to keep future versions of the software free. If you allow conversion to proprietary licensing, then you encourage the work to be hijacked out of the free domain and into some commercial product. Like as not, you'll wind up paying for your own work.
Still, I bridle at the use of words like "ethically valid" to promote this kind of thinking. It's one thing to talk about the value of freedom, it's quite another to call people brigands for not conforming to your agenda.
I prefer a much simpler solution -- I just use free software. It's clear to me that there is more value in keeping with a free package than in locking myself into a commercial product that can be pulled out from under me. So why do we have to shake sabres about it?
Copyright-monopoly based economics were successful for at least a couple of hundred years. It's not like slavery or institutionalized racism. It's just a system of doing business. In some regimes it apparently works for the benefit of the public, in others it doesn't. I happen to think it doesn't work very well for software. But that doesn't make it "unethical" to produce or buy proprietary software -- just unwise.
While some view the GNU LGPL simply as a tactical license, the question the LGPL often finds itself in the middle of is that of what engineers perceive should be an "aggregate" work, but what copyright attorneys may state must legally be treated as a derived work. As such, it actually falls along the fault line between the idea that "my code is my code, and your code is your code", the way software development often operates as a discipline, and the way our 16th century derived copyright laws defines the legal relationship between these different parties.
I'm OK, Youre OK.
All I know is practicalities.
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a killer library.. that I wouldnt touch with a 10-foot interface.
"When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library."
liberals.. theyre so cute when theyre self-important.
bye bye, GPL.
"The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom."
Hosey can you see.. blah blahblah blah blah blah..
"a dictatorship over the definition of freedom` is the main idea here.
An excessively aggressive expansion of the `free` empire into private works.
"The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. "
`more lax`.. pfft. how double-spoken is THAT?
try `less restrictive` oops, that uses a naughty non-freedom word.
"We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user`s freedom than the ordinary
General Public License."
The usual.. in typical liberalese, we say that it does `less to protect` rather than `more, to restrict`, and put this
perfectly illogical double-speak into the bloody title.
And since when is there any `protection of freedom` at all? Point to it! You`ll be pointing outside of the license,
at liberalism itself.
"It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs.
These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.
However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances."
Isn`t that speshul.
I`m in the ring with a 400 lb. gorilla.
The last phrase I would choose to describe my 140 lbs is: `less of an advantage`.
`provides less`. Don`t you ever hear yourselves?
Just freakin SAY IT! There are levels of ___RESTRICTIONS___ to what you may do with the software!!
I simply don't trust anyone who persuades too much with lingual devices.
Too much BBC, I guess.

GLENDALE, Ariz -- Randy Moss' second touchdown in a 49ers uniform was a 47-yard dash through a bewildered Arizona Cardinals defense in Monday night's 24-3 victory.
Moss caught Alex Smith's third-and-8 pass and blazed a trail down the left sideline to give the 49ers a 24-0 lead midway through the third quarter. Once Moss got past cornerback Jamell Fleming and linebacker Paris Lenon, he wouldn't be touched until a slew of 49ers came to celebrate his 155th career touchdown.
"I was just trying to convert for a first down," Smith said. "Randy made a great play on (Fleming) with an okie-doke on the sideline, and all of a sudden he was off. He was, he still is a great player."
Moss' only other touchdown this season came in the Sept. 9 opener at Green Bay. Monday's score was his 18th in 19 career appearances on "Monday Night Football."
"I was happy to see it and I was smiling from ear to ear," Michael Crabtree said.
Moss' touchdown marked only his 13th reception this season, as he's been used in a limited role after spending 2011 in pseudo-retirement. He had no other passes thrown to him Monday night.
Moss has scored a touchdown all six times he's faced the Cardinals.
"Great protection from the O-line," Moss said of his touchdown play. "The quarterback delivered (and) I caught it, ran, had some blocks downfield, and it was as simple as that."

Talking with Thompson Square's Keifer and Shawna Thompson on the phone, their new puppy plays with a squeaky toy in the background. The 2012 County Music Vocal Duo of the Year is at home, taking a short break from the Lady Antebellum tour, which recently wrapped up. They are now on their own tour schedule and preparing to record a new album in the fall. Colorado is their next stop, hitting Gypsum's Lundgren Theater at 9 p.m. Saturday as the headline performance. They are looking forward to it."We love Colorado," Keifer said. "We're trying to make it a regular thing."Shawna said they're also excited to show off their latest stage set."We've stepped up the lights and things like that," she said.Like any all-American couple, Keifer and Shawna are a product of many influences, and it's heard in their music, which ranges from hard to soft, from funny to serious and a lot in between. They co-write most of their songs and it seems that they've lived most of them, too. Songs like "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not," "Glass," "Let's Fight" and "As Bad As It Gets" smack of genuine experience. The latter two especially flesh out the humor in marital spats."No matter who you are, you can relate to these things," Keifer said. "Country music tells stories of everyone's life."Musical familiesCountry music isn't their only influence by any means, however."I like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre," Keifer said. "Basically, I'm just influenced by music in general."He also listed Adele, Kings of Leon and Foo Fighters among others as contemporary influences. That's in addition to the timeless Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, of course.They both grew up in musical families and knew early on that it was a way of life for them."I was 5 or 6 when my family took me to an Alabama concert, and I knew from then on that I wanted to be on stage singing," Shawna said. "Luckily my parents were very supportive. They helped me move to Nashville when I was 18, which was sort of my college experience."That's where she met Keifer and both agree it was love at first sight."I was dating someone at the time, and after I got to know Shawna, I had to call the other girl and tell her, 'I found the one,'" Keifer said.At the time, Keifer and Shawna were both pursuing solo music careers. They continued on that track even after they got married. Eventually they tied the knot with their music as well, and that's when the magic happened. Now they've been married 13 years and together as Thompson Square for about seven years. In total, they've each been working as a musician for 17 years."I think we found who we were when we came together," Shawna said.Success doesn't come with guarantees, however. Like anyone, Keifer and Shawna are still trying to grow and find their way into the future."Every year I second guess myself and consider going to grad school," Keifer, who has a bachelor's degree in psychology and an strong background in sports like football, soccer and track. "You can't give up," he said. "No one can know how things will evolve. In terms of music, I would like to do a traditional country album at some point.""After being on tour for a while, we're ready to make some new music," Shawna said.Social causesThompson Square has also partnered with some social causes, Including ChildFund International and Purina Dog Chow. ChildFund International will be on site at each concert in a booth run by volunteers who each personally sponsor a child through the organization. Fans who visit the ChildFund International booth and sign up to sponsor a child that evening will receive an autographed copy of Thompson Square's self-titled debut album."We partnered with Purina Dog Chow because we are a proud dog family," Shawna said.Through a new tab created on the Purina Dog Chow Facebook page, dog lovers can now visit Dog Families Know, a new community within a community, and share their own unique family moments about their dog's impact on their family - via stories, photos and videos. From now until July 31, a new topic will be proposed each week that dog families can relate to, and for every unique story, photo or video tacked onto the virtual community board, Purina Dog Chow will donate $1, up to $25,000, to Patriot Rovers Inc., helping support its mission to "Save Dogs, Help Soldiers and Honor Heroes." Additionally, one photo will be selected each week as the Purina Dog Chow Facebook cover photo."We just lost a (Yorkshire terrier) in February," Keifer said over the din of squeaky noises at his house. "It was tough but we're enjoying the puppy."

Asparagus on Mars! Jun 27 2008
Scientists think that Mars' alkaline soil might be able to grow asparagus.
Although he said further tests would have to be conducted, Mr Kounaves said the soil seemed "very friendly... there is nothing about it that is toxic," he said. "It is the type of soil you would probably have in your back yard -- you know, alkaline. You might be able to grow asparagus in it really well."

Spotlight On...Tipping
Do you include gratuity in the price of spa services?
© istockphoto.com
For most employees in customer-centric industries, tipping is typically optional—yet still expected. These days, spa gratuities run the gamut. And some argue that tipping causes undue consternation, as many guests are shaky on spa etiquette and anxious about how much and when to tip. (Don't even get us started on the topic of how to properly tip if the service was a gift! And what about those online deal–redeemers who only tip on a percentage of the discounted service?)
Considering the economic instability of the past few years, some spa owners feel that eradicating tips, or lumping them into service prices, may be more appealing to guests. Many therapists also say they'd rather receive a straight percentage of the service fee as their gratuity; while others prefer to let guests decide how much to tip.
Like so many aspects of spa operations, tipping procedures don't come in one-size-fits-all. Your tipping stance should suit your brand, your service protocols and your accounting preferences (for reporting income to the IRS). Your gratuity policy should also be clearly stated in all printed collateral and on your website.
Nixing the tipping? Do like Z Salon & Spa in Louisville, Kentucky. Its online policy reads: "Thank you, but we do not accept gratuities. If you liked the services you received, please refer your family and friends. That's the best tip you could possibly give us."
Here, spa professionals from across the country weigh in on their tipping do's and don't's.
"We only include gratuity in package services—to make them simpler to give as a gift—and on really high-volume days and special occasions. For instance, on Valentine's Day, we include a 20% gratuity with couples' massages. But in general, we feel it should be up to the guest to determine how much to give. If we automatically set it at 18%, we might be limiting our therapists from some really great tips. I know some of our competitors actually mandate a gratuity of 20%. But what if you get a bad service? You still have to give them 20%? That doesn't seem right." —Christina Critchell, director of operations at the Oxford Club Spa & Salon in Denver
"When guests check out, we tell them that we typically add a 20% gratuity to their bill, but they're welcome to adjust it. About 95% of guests seem to like this system—quite a few add more to the tip!" —Aishah Hammock, receptionist at Le Merigot Spa in Santa Monica, CA
"We had a no-tipping policy for the first three years we were in business; then, in 2009, we changed it due to client demand. We have such great guests, but our team still isn't comfortable asking for tips. We don't have receptionists mention it, nor do we put out signs, but most clients do tip." —Deidre Moffat, educational director at Hue in Huntington Beach, CA
"Our guests leave in such a relaxed state that we do the math for them and add an 18% gratuity to the bill upon departure. If any issues are raised, however, then we adjust accordingly." —Sharon Holtz, director of Spa at Mandarin Oriental in Boston
"We've only ever accepted tips in cash or checks, never on credit cards. Then the therapist doesn't have to wait to receive the money. What's made this work, though, is having a major bank about 100 yards from our Pittsburgh location, so a fee-free ATM is readily available. This policy posed problems at our new spa, located within a boutique hotel far from retail areas. Since hotel guests don't usually carry anything with them into the spa, we decided to allow tips to be charged to guestroom accounts." —Scott Kerschbaumer, co-owner, ESSpa Kozmetika Organic Skincare, in Pittsburgh, and ESSpa Kozmetika at The Carnegie Inn & Spa in State College, PA
"We were a no-tipping spa for years, until last September. We were just losing too many talented therapists, so we changed our policy and let clients know via emails and our website. Some were happy about it; some not at all. But I don't think they've been able to find another place where they don't have to tip! And business has remained steady." —Deirdre Arr, receptionist at InSpa in Issaquah, WA
"We do not include gratuity in our services. It's up to the guests to choose whether they'd like to extend gratuity, based on their individual experiences. We offer tip envelopes and include a section on credit card slips that allows guests to fill in a tip, if they so choose." —Angela Cortright, owner of Spa Gregorie's, with three locations in Orange County, CA
"For our first 20 years in business, we had a no-tipping policy—with an exception for holiday gifts—because we embrace a team concept, with hourly pay and no internal competition. But two years ago, we started to accept tips due to client demand. Many guests had been with us a long time and really wanted to show their appreciation. However, it's still not your own tip; like Starbucks, we split tips among everyone working that day. It's nice because a newer person who's not yet getting many requests still has a chance
to make some extra money." —Amy Dexa, front desk coordinator at Studio 904 in Seattle
"When clients check out we say, 'Gratuity is not included. If you choose to leave one you may via credit cards or cash envelopes.' Clients appreciatethat we clarify! I don't include tips in service prices because they motivate my employees to work harder. If tips were included, they might slack off." —Tamara Friedman, owner of Tamara Spa in Farmington Hills, MI

text: I received my first record player when I was 2-years-old and knew right then that music would be a big part of my life. My mom would turn on the radio every morning before she'd put on the coffee. Today, with all my blessings including 2 wonderful children and a successful morning show, I still wake up each morning to hear the music. Radio is the only job I ever wanted, never has anything else ever crossed my mind. I tried to get out of radio once and landed at Radio Shack, that should have been an omen right there. I always say, if it stops putting a smile on my face, it'll be time to call it a day. I close every show with, "Always Be As Happy As You've Made Me Today," and I mean it!

Owner of closed consignment shop charged with larceny
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 10:30 p.m.
An East Flat Rock woman is scheduled to be back in court March 1 after police say she stole more than $1,300 in merchandise she had been entrusted to sell in her consignment shop in December.
The Hendersonville Police Department charged 31-year-old Dana Edenfield, of 115 Crest Road, with felony larceny on Dec. 27.
Police say she closed the doors to her Lil' Lexi Dreams Consignment Shop at 607 Greenville Highway and left with merchandise belonging to one of her customers in December.
An arrest warrant states Edenfield stole $1,365 worth of coats, shoes, jeans, purses and designer shirts that were left in her care to sell.
Capt. Doug Jones said the department hasn't received any other complaints regarding the shop. The District Attorney's Office says anyone who feels swindled should call the police department at 828-697-3025.
Lil' Lexi Dreams Consignment Shop opened March 9 on Chadwick Avenue, Jones said. It moved to a location on Greenville Highway in the summer before the business was shuttered on Dec. 20, according to police.

Chicken nuggets or tenders are so easy to make at home that it's surprising to me that they're such a big seller at fast food restaurants. A little cutting and dipping is all that is necessary to prep these little guys for the oven, and by baking them instead of frying them, we're saving tons of calories and fat grams. Grab a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts out of the freezer and place them in a bag-o-buttermilk before you leave for work in the morning. By the time you get you home, you only have to slice them into serviceable pieces and dip them in the flour, egg, and Panko. Place them into the oven while you take out your contacts and take off your bra (or is that just me?) Then whip up a little honey mustard dipping sauce and you're good to go.
Oven Baked Chicken Tenders
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 3 inch strips
1 cup buttermilk
Place chicken pieces into a ziplock baggie and add buttermilk. Place in fridge for at least an hour.
Flour mixture:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp paprika
salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper
Mix above ingredients together in a shallow pan.
Egg mixture:
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
dash of hot sauce (optional)
Whisk above ingredients together in a shallow pan.
Breading mixture:
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Combine above ingredients in a shallow pan.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray well with cooking spray.
Remove chicken pieces from buttermilk. Dip each piece first into flour mixture, then into egg mixture and lastly into breading mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet. Spray chicken pieces lightly with cooking spray.
Place pan in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, turning pieces halfway through baking time.
Honey mustard sauce:
3/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
Mix above ingredients together.

Late Middle English (sense 2 of the adjective): from Latin acutus, past participle of acuere 'sharpen', from acus 'needle'.
accent from Late Middle English:
English distinguishes the different parts or syllables of a word by stressing one of them, but the ancient Greeks pronounced them with a distinct difference in musical pitch. Syllables marked with a grave accent (for example à, from Latin gravis 'heavy, serious') were spoken at a comparatively low pitch, those with an acute (á, from Latin acutus 'sharp, high') at a higher pitch, and those with a circumflex (â, from Latin circumflexus, 'bent around') began at the higher pitch and descended during the pronunciation of the syllable. This gives some explanation of why the root of accent is Latin cantus 'song', which was a direct translation of the Greek word prosōidia (source of prosody (Late Middle English) 'versification'). Quite a few languages (technically known as 'tonal' languages) still have this musical way of speaking, among them Chinese and Swedish.

Does This Blog Make Me Look Fat? When Inner Voices Aren't Very Nice
As a child, I was given free reign to eat whatever I wanted. This meant daily bowls of crushed oreos in milk, after-school snacks of burgers and fries as a "treat" for answering phones at the family business and, in the evening, half a pint of Haagen-Dazs for dessert. Every day I satisfied my "junk-food tooth" on top of my favorite past-times: reading, watching TV or playing with Barbies. Consequently I was that kid. The chubby one.
At the time, I didn't have a lot of critical self-consciousness about it … I can't remember inner voices telling me "you're fat" or "if you eat that you'll get fatter" (although I did always wear a T-shirt over my bathing suit). I say "inner voices" because there actually were some external voices saying these exact things to me, directly and out loud: my parents and grandparents. They saw my bulging belly, thick thighs and chipmunk cheeks and thought it went beyond cutesy "baby fat."

Among many other things, Page is one of the Contributing Editors for dailyKos.com, where her byline is "Plutonium Page".
Page was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1969. Some of her earliest memories include learning the words to Malvina Reynolds' "Rain Song", hiking in the Sandia Mountains, and becoming very aware about humans' impact on nature. You could say that she grew up an environmentalist, with a keen and critical eye for government and corporate spin regarding conservation issues.
She has had first-hand experience witnessing the environmental cost of the Cold War; part of her undergraduate Bachelor of Sciences work in Chemistry at Colorado State University was spent as an intern working with nuclear waste at the massively contaminated Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State.
Regardless of her time spent as a professional chemistry nerd, the twists and turns of her life have always lead back to "bearing witness" to environmental issues. She has lived in Amsterdam (Netherlands) since 2005, and has been a volunteer and activist for both Greenpeace Netherlands and Greenpeace International. She is moving back to New Mexico in mid-April 2008, where she will continue her environmental activism.

Forcing a PPR when the framework doesn't refresh
By Grant Ronald-Oracle on Sep 05, 2011
I've just published a new ADF Insider Essentials video showing how to implement programmatic PPR. Why would you need to know this? ADF Faces has a number of features for declaratively defining when data is submitted on a page and which data should be refreshed automatically. However, there are some times when the framework maybe doesn't refresh a component when you expect it to and so you decide to force the PPR of a component in code.
Its actually pretty easy and this 7 minute video explains how you can do this.

Is it to make it look bigger than it is? Seems unlikely. Maybe better protection or longevity for the product? Interesting decision.
Yes, I was surprised by the weight of the glass too. I really doubt it has any effect on preserving the product though. Assuming the caps are good, the light transmission properties may be the biggest factor the glass could have on product degradation, and the glass doesn't look any darker.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Feb. 25, 2013
DENMARK, S.C. (WRDW) -- A quick search for "Denmark Tech" on YouTube yields startling results. One video depicts a mob of students on campus gathering around two individuals fighting. One of the individuals appears to physically threaten a law enforcement officer in the grainy clip.
Another video depicts a crazy scene on campus at night. A mob of students are partying in the foreground. In the background, there are blue police lights.
A final video shows students boxing, surrounded by a mob, near the entrance of the campus.
"It look like the projects," says Nichole Nimmons, an early childhood education student at Denmark Technical College.
The public school outside the town of Denmark serves about 1,500 students from Denmark, Bamberg, Barnwell, Allendale and beyond.
"I mean anything could happen. You never know what could happen when you cross the gate," said Kenyatta Crum, also a student there.
It's a school many students feel isn't safe.
"All you hear about is fighting and shooting and smoking and clubbing and partying and stuff like that," Nimmons said.
Our TV camera and tripod were kept behind the school's front gate. Guards only allow students inside ever since two students were shot on campus last year.
Nimmons and Crum guess 90 percent of students they know have guns behind the gate. Of course, it's a school where no guns are allowed.
"Every time you walk around, you hear somebody say they got a gun. They got a gun. They got two guns," Nimmons said.
News 12 asked Crum if she could bring a knife or gun onto campus if she wanted to.
"Yeah, you can," she responded.
Crime on this campus has been a problem for the Bamberg County Sheriff's Office. Longtime Sheriff Ed Darnell responded to the second shooting last year in early October, where a female student was shot only inches from her heart.
"When you have cars coming on that campus like they did that one particular night, and when they left, they were firing guns at other vehicles and hit another car with three or four rounds, that is terrible," the sheriff said.
Sheriff Darnell doesn't have direct jurisdiction on campus because the school has its own certified police force. However, Darnell estimates that during the beginning of last semester, 12 to 15 students were arrested here each week for anything from drugs to assault to weapons possession.
"There needs to be a great amount of security change at Denmark Tech," Darnell said.
Rep. Bakari Sellers of Denmark is aware of the problem, too.
"What I will not tolerate is two school shootings and a campus not being safe," he said.
He's asking for a conference between school administrators and Chief Mark Keel of the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division, the top cop in the state.
"I don't necessarily like to micromanage. I don't believe the government should be in everything, but this is a place where we're going to step in," Sellers said.
To this day, News 12 has repeatedly requested an on-camera interview with Denmark Tech's President Dr. Joann Boyd-Scotland. So far, she's repeatedly postponed the interview, but she did send back answers to a couple very basic email questions. She tells us: "Students matriculating at Denmark Technical College are law-abiding citizens."
But she adds that since the last shooting there is "an enhanced campus camera system," an "upgraded ID system," "campus-wide paging" and "additional security personnel."
But News 12 wanted to see the stats. Under the state's Freedom of Information Act, we requested "crime log data for the past two years," a list of sex offenders on campus and crime statistics including "violent crimes on campus for the past five years."
The data we got was inconclusive, so we drove back to campus to view incident reports for ourselves. After all, campus policy states: "the daily crime log is available for public inspection."
On our first trip, News 12 did get access at first, but then, Denmark Technical College Public Safety Chief Judy Halmon stepped in. She let us look at some reports but not others. She also stopped us from taking pictures of reports with an iPhone and also told us we couldn't initially jot down notes by hand.
"Can I read you your campus security policy?" asked News 12 reporter Chad Mills in a discrete video recording.
"No, you don't have to read it to me," Chief Halmon replied. "I read it every time I have to fill this stuff out."
"I am an individual. I am a taxpayer. I pay for this college in South Carolina. I am entitled to look at those incident reports," said Mills in the recording.
"Well, you got what you asked for," Halmon said.
The week after, News 12 returned to campus. This time, Chief Halmon turned News 12 reporter Chad Mills away at the gate.
"That's in your student handbook. We should be able to check daily crime log reports," Mills shouted in a recording.
After that, News 12 showed the video to lawyer Jay Bender, a leading expert on public information in South Carolina.
"I think what we have here is somebody who is either intentionally denying access or entirely ignorant of the requirements of the law," said Bender, after watching the recordings of Chief Halmon.
Code of law states 14 days of crime reports should be made available "for public inspection and copying during the hours of operations of the public body without the requester being required to make a written request to inspect or copy the records when the requester appears in person."
That means Denmark Technical College broke the law. Bender says this means News 12 could sue the school, demand the information and demand the school pay News 12's legal fees. However, News 12 has yet to reach an editorial decision on a possible civil suit.
"It sounds to me like the law enforcement officials at Denmark Technical College are, in fact, lawless," Bender said.
A civil lawsuit News 12 found in Bamberg County also raises more serious allegations. In the suit, the campus' former police chief says the current chief and President Boyd-Scotland "have exhibited a desire and willingness to protect students who violate criminal laws." He claims the school president "interfered with [his] law enforcement duties" and "discouraged arrests of students (even when guilty of serious criminal conduct)."
The former chief, Wilbur Wallace of Allendale, was fired by President Boyd-Scotland for excessive use of force, even though his name was cleared by SLED.
Since the lawsuit was filed last September, counsel for Wallace, Julius Babb of Columbia, tells us the case was settled out of court.
"They need to step up and do the right thing and protect us if they want us to come and continue going to school, instead of just letting things slide and covering things up," Crum said.
The child education student will continue her daily trips to campus. She says there are a lot of students there who do want to learn like she does. But, if things don't get better, she says the school behind the gate may need to close its doors for good.
CLARIFICATION: The image of the gates at 0:29 and 6:54 of the video of this story is a stock photo of gates. The gates of Denmark Tech are shown at 1:26 and 4:27 of the video, as well as at various other times.

wow. so this same thing happens over my house. Tens of thousands of birds flying like that. Sometimes it's in a long line that looks like a jetstream, moving all together, they'll pass for hours, literally. Sometimes they swarm at the lakes, they'll circle around it, again for hours, as all of them land slowly. When they finish the entire "lake" is filled up with the birds. Seriously, shoulder to shoulder.
I tried to film it but I don't have a camera that will catch it well. It just ends up looking like a big amorphous blob in the sky. It's starting to die down now, but for the last two months I've been woken up at 5am on the nose to all the hunters around here. They even have a blind setup in my backyard. Makes me mad. I don't know what it is about the migrations here in Pueblo, but I've never seen anything like it.

AIKEN, S.C. -- It's been a long journey, but several pets rescued from a puppy mill in Edgefield County are now on their way to finding new homes.
Gary Willoughby, director of the Aiken SPCA, picked up 40 dogs from the temporary shelter on Tuesday.
"It's sad at first because you know where they came from, but it's reassuring to know that the moms who have had puppies will never have another litter of puppies," he said.
Callie Abel surrendered nearly 300 of her pets after the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office raided her property a few weeks ago. Many of those pets were found with health problems, living in horrible conditions.
"We had some that had some skin allergies from poor nutrition, some that were very timid and shy that didn't have any human interaction, some don't know how to walk on a leash and had to be carried -- even a couple of large labs," he said.
But now, the pets have made their way to the Aiken SPCA, and it's time to start finding them new homes.
"We have to spay or neuter, do all the shots, many of them that's all we need, and they'll be ready to go up for adoption. Some maybe as soon as Friday will be ready," he said.
Three dogs and a parrot will not be up for adoption, though.
"They have to be boarded here for about a month. The previous owner has an opportunity -- if she makes a lot of changes in her home, she may be awarded them back," Willoughby said.
The lengthy list of changes includes spaying the three pets and having her home inspected.
"If she doesn't comply, then they'll stay with us and go up for adoption," Willoughby said.
Willoughby says even though the puppies are usually the first to find homes, the moms are the ones who need a loving new family the most.
"The little cute puppies have only been there a very very short period of time, and they won't remember the situation much later, but some of the mothers spend seven to eight to 10 years of their lives just having litter after litter after litter," he said.
The constant breeding and poor living conditions really take a toll on their health.
"It's no way to live. They live in wire cages, never get to touch the grass -- it's just a horrible environment, and they're just strictly there for the owner to make some money," Willoughby said.
The SPCA will be posting pictures and information as the pets become available for adoption.

With spring days away, the commute on Washington's Metro transit system was light. Sidewalks were cleared faster than in past storms. More homeowners and businesses gave up on snow shovels in favor of snow blowers. Airports saw some cancellations, but runways were reopening by midmorning.
With the temperature rising, the latest snow was poised to turn into a slushy mess faster as well.
At least a few inches of snow were reported in the Washington area and parts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For Philadelphia, the 4.5 inches of snow that fell as of 8 a.m. made this winter the second-snowiest on record. The National Weather Service said 67.4 inches had fallen so far for the 2013-14 season.
Snowfall at Dulles airport in Sterling, Va., totaled 10 inches at 10 a.m., the agency said. Accumulations in the region reached as high as 11 inches in the Montgomery County, Md., community of Hillandale, about 10 miles north of Washington.
Some people still had to make it to work on time, though.
With her bank set to open on time, Joanne Swift of Suitland, Md., took a bus to the Metro to get to work downtown.
"I really thought we had already made that turn into spring," she said. "But it's not piled high, so I guess this is reasonably OK."
In central Virginia, state police said at least four people were being treated for serious injuries after a weather-related wreck. The commercial passenger bus—carrying 58 passengers from New York to Doraville, Ga.
In Falls Church, Va., Mike Miller spun out twice on the highway about 3 a.m. in what turned out to be a one-hour drive to open up a Sunoco gas station. But no one was hurt, and Miller remained in good spirits.
"It's still technically winter until the 20th," he said, referring to the first day of spring. "There are places where it snows year round. Just deal with it."
Stephen Moore, 46, who works for the State Department, had pulled out his cross-country skis and was taking the Metro down to the National Mall, where he hoped there'd be enough snow to put them to use.
"I'm assuming this is the last snow of the year," Moore said.
In New Jersey, as much as 7.5 inches of snow was reported, and classes were delayed or canceled at schools across the state's southern half.
Winter's return follows several days of spring-like temperatures. Richard Windsor of Jackson, N.J., said he was not that impressed by the new system. Previous storms this season dropped 10 or more inches of snow in the state.
"I figure if I made it through the stronger storms, I can handle this," Windsor said
Forecasters cannot say whether this year's winter weather will finally end with the official start of spring Thursday. They note that snowstorms are typical through March.
Along the slushy cobblestone streets of Richmond's Shockoe Slip, Tara Rowan, 27, took a break from work at a digital marketing company to walk her 1-year-old Maltipoo, Juno, wearing a red-and-white reindeer sweater.
"I love winter, so I think I'm probably the weird one. I think it's beautiful," Rowan said. "But I understand the travel ... is a heartache for some people."
But she admitted that she longed for warmer weather, especially after temperatures over the weekend hit the 70s.
"You start to switch over your closet, and then you've got to pull the boots back out," she said. "Tease is a perfect word for it. "
Associated Press writers Matthew Barakat in Falls Church, Va.

She�s everywhere, and the story line is pretty much the same: Hillary Clinton is a pretty good bet to be the Democratic presidential nominee. If she runs.

Microsoft Memo: the Highlights
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's memo on the company restructuring laid out the usual goals: speed, efficiency, innovation and the ability to compete in a fast-changing world. It touts the company's "big vision" and its "undeniable" impact on the world. It was long. Here are some highlights:
The Gritty Reorg Details
This means we will organize the company by function: Engineering (including supply chain and datacenters), Marketing, Business Development and Evangelism, Advanced Strategy and Research, Finance, HR, Legal, and COO (including field, support, commercial operations and IT).
Specifically, on engineering:
There will be four engineering areas: OS, Apps, Cloud, and Devices. We will keep Dynamics separate as it continues to need special focus and represents significant opportunity.
Translation: Not much more to say, other than it's always fun to see "Evangelism" as an identified corporate goal. Ballmer did say, specifically, that not all of the details of the shuffling are resolved.
Who's In Charge
Terry Myerson. Operating Systems Engineering Group (the core software behind all of Microsoft's devices.)
Julie Larson-Green. Devices and Studios Engineering Group (all of the hardware, including the Surface tablet and Xbox console)
Qi Lu. Applications and Services Engineering Group (apps, services, and search products like Bing)
Satya Nadella. Cloud and Enterprise Engineering Group (datacenters, databases and technologies for enterprise IT and development tools)
Kirill Tatarinov. Dynamics (financial, customer relationship and supply chain management)
Eric Rudder. Advanced Strategy and Research Group (research and security software, what Microsoft calls Trustworthy Computing)
Tami Reller. Marketing Group. (marketing, advertising and media)
Mark Penn, executive vice president in charge of global advertising and marketing strategy
Kevin Turner. Chief Operating Officer (continues leading sales, field marketing, services, support and stores)
Tony Bates. Business Development and Evangelism Group. (key partnerships with OEMs, developers, Yahoo, Nokia, etc.)
Amy Hood. Finance Group (all finance responsibilities)
Brad Smith. General Counsel (continues leading law and corporate affairs)
Lisa Brummel. Human Resources Group
Other Personnel
Kurt DelBene, who worked on Office, is retiring.
Craig Mundie devotes 100% of his time on a special project. He'll work as a consultant through 2014.
What's Important
Each major initiative will have a champion who will be a direct report to me or one of my direct reports. The champion will organize to drive a cross-company team for success, but my whole staff will have commitment to the initiative's success. We will also have outgrowths on those major initiatives that may involve only a single product group. Certainly, succeeding with mobile devices, Windows, Office 365 and Azure will be foundational. Xbox and Bing will also be key future contributors to financial success.
Translation: More control for Ballmer and his closest team. Unsurprising list of important products: mobile, Windows, Office, Xbox, Bing.
Services vs. Software
The form of delivery shifts to a broader set of devices and services versus packaged software. The frontier of high-value scenarios we enable will march outward, but we have strengths and proven capabilities on which we will draw.
Translation: Basically, the company will put more focus on continued services, rather than selling software packaged in a box. The Office subscription model is a good example. And more hardware, like the Surface tablet.
All In
Improving our performance has three big dimensions: focusing the whole company on a single strategy, improving our capability in all disciplines and engineering/technology areas, and working together with more collaboration and agility around our common goals.
Translation: Fewer silos, fewer separate strategies. This is the "One Microsoft" of the subject line. When the company has an initiative, every unit is getting on board. Ballmer called it a "huge undertaking" that changes the organizational chart.
Cultural Buzzwords
This is what Ballmer wants people to be: nimble, communicative, collaborative, decisive, motivated. Ballmer made the point that collaborative doesn't just mean being able to "get along" with someone, but actually produce some results.
Devices, Devices, Devices
Across Microsoft, we are facing incredible new opportunities. As devices become further integrated into everyday life, we will have to create new and extraordinary experiences for our customers on these devices.
Translation: Search "Internet of Everything" (preferably on Bing) and own that.

No. Sledding is not allowed on the runs while the lifts are in operation (9:30-4:00, Wed-Sun, plus Holidays). After operating hours, however, sledding adjacent to the lodge is popular with children while parents enjoy drinks, food, and live music.
Snowboarding requires the use of fine motor skills unlike skiing which requires gross motor skills. To explain, little ones can pick up the gross skills much easier and thus, can be ripping down the green runs within their first two lessons. Whereas on a snowboard, they're still on the flats in the learning area. Children under 11 CAN learn to snowboard with our Little Shredders package. Getting on the chair lift is much easier on skis so for a newbie skiing would mitigate this hassle. Plus, if you learn to ski first, it's that much easier to pick up snowboarding down the road.

A soldier stationed at Fort Leonard Wood was killed in an ATV accident on the Fourth of July and another soldier was seriously injured after being ejected from the ATV into the Big Piney River in Pulaski County.
According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report, Timothy J. Panzar, 25, of St. Robert, was driving the 1983 Yamaha ATV northbound on Hartford Road, one mile north of State Highway 28, when the ATV went off the right side of the road.
The ATV went airborne, struck a tree and overturned before coming to a rest in the Big Piney River. Panzar and another soldier riding on the ATV, identified as Erik D. Kolbow, 33, of Fort Leonard Wood, were both ejected from the vehicle into the river.
Panzar was pronounced dead by Pulaski County Coroner Mikel Hartness. Kolbow was airlifted to Mercy Hospital Springfield for serious injuries.
The crash happened at 2:34 a.m.
A spokesman for Fort Leonard Wood told KOLR-TV that both men were currently assigned to the 4th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade.
This marks the first fatality in July in the MSHP Troop I area, which covers six counties in south central Missouri. This is 10th fatality this year in the Troop I area.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Mark Twain once said: "Education is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education." With Nevada scoring at the rock bottom of Education Week's recent national state rankings, the question seems to be whether Nevada students will be cabbages or kings.On the plus side, it appears that the Silver State's dismal ratings were driven primarily by Clark County. "By comparison to (Las Vegas), Washoe looks like someone's dream," Nevada State Superintendent of Schools James Guthrie told reporters in response to the Education Week announcement.Even if we in the north can be comparatively smug about the quality of education, the legislative session which opens in a few days will focus like a laser on Nevada's education deficiencies.Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval set the motif for this focus in his state of the state speech earlier this month. His budget proposal includes an increase of $135 million in K-12 funding including $20 million for full day kindergarten in at risk schools and a special $14 million fund to help English learners in the first 4 grades.He also proposes a change in the formula for school funding so school districts will receive more direct funding for disadvantaged kids and English learners; he plans to open the flood gates for new charter school applications and has a plan to offer corporations tax breaks in exchange for their granting scholarships in equivalent amounts to disadvantaged kids who want to attend private schools.Sandoval is acutely aware that per-pupil spending (in constant dollars) went from $3,144 in 1960 to $9,015 in 2008, and that during the same period test scores remained flat while graduation rates declined substantially. His plan is to restructure K-12 education so that state funding accomplishes some concrete results rather than continuing to throw good money after bad at the government education cartel system run by public employee unions and the legislators they support.Democrats in the legislature expressed cautious support for Sandoval's plan but complained that more money is needed. Assemblyman David Bobzien (D - Reno) said: "What we need to do is invest in all our students and have universal full-day kindergarten. We Democrats will be promoting that, making that case during budget hearings."State Sen. Debbie Smith (D-Sparks) cited Sandoval's proposal to exempt 2,700 businesses from Nevada's Modified Business Tax causing projected revenues to take a hit of $25 million. "That lost revenue is sorely needed by the education system," Smith said. The Democratic mantra sounds to me like they want to continue to throw good money after bad and are oblivious to Sandoval's successful efforts to attract new businesses and jobs to Nevada.My bride of 53 years holds a kindergarten-primary teaching credential and a master's degree in education. She spent her career teaching so I asked her opinion on this full day kindergarten controversy. "It's nice for the parents," she said, "because it cuts their babysitting expenses. But if you go from half day to full day the time will include a lunch period and a nap period with maybe a net of one additional hour of instruction."I can see how disadvantaged kids and English learners can use a little help so they can compete when they get to the K-12 starting line. What I can't see is expanding that help to encompass those who don't need it by throwing money at an unproven and unlikely scheme.Implementation of Governor Sandoval's education plan will test his powers of friendly persuasion. I'm betting on him.- Jim Clark is president of Republican Advocates and has served on the Washoe County & Nevada State GOP Central Committees; he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BERKELEY -- The first signs of futility arrived Saturday night, after the third game of his first season as football coach at Cal. Sonny Dykes, hired to revive the program, was searching for solutions and coming up empty.
His Golden Bears had lost a game they were expected to lose, 52-34 to Ohio State, the No. 4 team in the country. They were beaten by a better team, and anybody who knows a football from a cashew could see and accept that.
The questions that stalked Dykes, however, were pointed and specific. They were about Golden Bears' consistently ineffective defense.
Cal's habit of falling behind quickly and decisively continued against Ohio State. Six minutes after kickoff, the Bears were down 21-0, burned by two long touchdown passes.
"We talked about it after doing it two weeks in a row and thought we had a trend that was coming," Dykes said. "It is more than a trend."
Playing before a bipartisan sellout crowd (62,467) at Memorial Stadium, Cal allowed more than 500 yards for the third straight game, surrendering 608, all but 47 coming in the first three quarters. More galling, the Golden Bears occasionally appeared unprepared for Ohio State's ability to play fast.
"That's on me," Dykes said. "I got to get that fixed. That's my fault."
Dykes in his postgame news conference accepted a lot of blame. He embraced it. That's typical of college head coaches when they have no answers. They are making millions and should do all they can to shield the unpaid amateurs in uniform.
He never once mentioned defensive coordinator Andy Buh or any member of the defensive staff.
Maybe he could have. Sonny, after all, was hired largely because he knows offense. His obsession with offense is plainly evident. He's a willing gambler and creative thinker, with an affinity for the gadget chapter of his playbook. Cal is scoring a lot of points, generally by throwing the football.
But the Golden Bears are going to lose a lot of games if they can't find a way to concoct a better defense.
Granted, Cal's defense is assembled with Vaseline and pocket lint. It's makeshift and foundering. Being makeshift, as a result of injuries, is fate. Foundering, however, is what coaches are hired to prevent.
"We have some personnel issues," Dykes understated.
"Our job is to win football games," he later added, "We have enough good players to do that."
The search for solutions has to begin with Buh. His unit is being exploited, which invites closer scrutiny, which automatically imperils his job security.
Dykes would not -- and should not -- consider the path of Texas coach Mack Brown, who was so furious with his team's defense that he fired coordinator Manny Diaz two games into this season. It was a panic move by a veteran coach long in place but barely clinging to his legacy.
Dismissing Buh after three games would be downright reckless. He's a rookie in his role at Cal, as is Dykes. They are invested in each other. Considering Sonny's 2012 Louisiana Tech team finished dead last on defense, Buh was his most important hire.
Maybe Buh, who last season coached linebackers at Wisconsin, can spin some magic with what he has. Or maybe he can't. But for Dykes to focus on offense, he needs someone who can shepherd the defense to respectability.
"We need to grow up and get better," Dykes said. "That's falls on us as coaches, to coach better and bring our players along to be in position."
Defensive backs Stefan McClure and Joel Willis said they believe the failures can be corrected, that it's a matter of staying focused and on technique. Such simple solutions seemed lost on Dykes.
This game followed a script similar to that used in the first two games of the Dykes era. It offered thrills on offense and spills on defense. Only against lightly regarded Portland State was that a recipe for victory.
But that script is bound to grow more tiresome by the week.
Not exactly what athletic director Sandy Barbour had in mind when she hired Sonny, and hardly what the coach imagined when he arrived. With two weeks to prepare for the next game, he has plenty of time to chase solutions now out of his range.
