Software for scanners, demo now fully functional.
VueScan is a scanning program that works with most high-quality flatbed and film scanners to produce scans that have excellent color fidelity and color balance. VueScan is easy to use, and has advanced features for restoring faded colors, batch scanning and other features used by professional photographers.
Why should you use VueScan?
- Easy to use - just run VueScan, press Preview, adjust the cropping, then press Scan
- Accurate colors - uses ICC profiles and IT8 calibration
- Powerful - dozens of advanced options
- Faster workflow - can edit one image while the next image is being scanned (most scanner software won't let you work with one image while another is being scanned)
- Simple to install - installing VueScan changes nothing on your system, installs nothing in your operating system and all other scanner software will continue to function.

Fantastic app. Saved me having to shell out for a new scanner just because Canon couldn't be bothered to update their drivers to allow the Lide20 to work on OSX Lion and above.
Two years ago, the new version of Vuescan listed my scanner as supported but after testing it turned out it wasn't (as the dev. conceded). Now it's listed and after multiple reboots, with no other USB devices besides the keyboard and mouse hooked up, it does recognize the scanner, but is still is failing to scan.
Not only is this hanging, it's refusing to force quit so I can't even restart the computer.
Don't know how earlier versions of VS looked but this version is quite Mac-like and a joy to use. Why I thought VS would not work w/ my Canon Lide 80 is beyond me! Now, no more dealing with Canon's software which hogs the CPUs making my G5 ready for take off.
Agree with other comments... not the best looking app... but it does the job perfectly (^^)
One of the ugliest looking apps available on the mac but at least it works, which is a lot more than can be said for the HP software that came with my scanner.
It has a rather un-Maclike GUI but it does work extremely well and lets you use pretty much any scanner with your Mac. Since it uses its own built-in drivers you don't have to worry about whether there are official drivers available for your scanner or OS X version.
Fantastic application that works with nearly every scanner I have encountered so far. It offers several options for enhancing the output and is quite easy to use. However, the GUI could use some polish.

We are starting an indoor coed soccer team at Dulles Sportsplex. We are looking for some girl recruits. We will probably be playing division 1.
We are a fun, friendly team, no fighting, etc. Most of us have been playing together for 5+ years. We have all skill levels from recreational players to ex-college players.
Let me know if anyone is interested in joining! They only allow 10 players per roster, so if you are interested we need almost total commitment. I believe the games will be on Monday nights.
BTW - We are all in the 25-30 year old range. We are open to any age. I just thought I'd mention more about our profile!
I'll take the complete and total lack of response as a "no."
I would like to join an indoor soccer league to help me get back in shape. I played one year at college level. But Im in Wichita,KS.
C'mon.... it's not that bad of a commute!! :P
I wish I could make the commute I will keep looking for ones here in Wichita.
I've been looking all over for a summer league--are you guys playing this summer? I'm 18, but I've been playing for ages. Send me more information? (firstname.lastname@example.com) I live in Vienna/Tyson's corner-ish.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

Web Services Example - Part 2: Programmatic
By Denis T-Oracle on Nov 06, 2012
In this edition of the ADF Mobile blog we'll tackle part 2 of our Web Service examples. In this posting we'll take a look at using a SOAP Web Service but calling it programmatically in code and parsing the return into a bean.
Getting the sample code:
Just click here to download a zip of the entire project. You can unzip it and load it into JDeveloper and deploy it either to iOS or Android. Please follow the previous blog posts if you need help getting JDeveloper or ADF Mobile installed. Note: This is a different workspace than WS-Part1
Defining our Web Service:
Just like our first installment, we are using the same public weather forecast web service provided free by CDYNE Corporation. Sometimes this service goes down so please ensure you know it's up before reporting this example isn't working.
We're going to concentrate on the same two web service methods, GetCityForecastByZIP and GetWeatherInformation.
Defing the Application:
The application setup is identical to the Weather1 version. There are some improvements to the data that is displayed as part of this example though. Now we are able to show the associated image along with each forecast line when using the Forecast By Zip feature. We've also added the temperature Hi/Low values into the UI.
Summary of Fundamental Changes In This Application
The most fundamental change is that we're binding the UI to the Bean Data Controls instead of directly to the Web Service Data Controls. This gives us much more flexibility to control the shape of the data and allows us to do caching of the data outside of the Web Service. This way if your application is, say offline, your bean could still populate with data from a local cache and still show you some UI as opposed to completely failing because you don't have any connectivity. In general we promote this type of programming technique with ADF Mobile to insulate your application from any issues with network connectivity.
What's different with this example?
We have setup the Web Service DC the same way but now we have managed beans to process the data. The following classes define the "Model" of our application: CityInformation->CityForecast->Forecast, WeatherInformation->WeatherDescription. We use WeatherBean for UI interaction to the model layer. If you look through this example, we don't really do that much with the java code except use it to grab the image URL from the weather description. In a more realistic example, you might be using some JDBC classes to persist the data to a local database.
To have a good architecture it is always good to keep your model and UI layers separate. This gets muddied if you start to use bindings on a page invoked from Java code and this java code starts to become your "model" layer. Since bindings are page specific, your model layer starts to become entwined with your UI. Not good! To help with this, we've added some utility functions that let you invoke DC methods without having a binding and thus execute methods from your "model" layer without requiring a binding in your page definition. We do this with the invokeDataControlMethod of the AdfmfJavaUtilities class. An example of this method call is available in line 95 of WeatherInformation.java and line 93 of CityInformation.Java.
What's a GenericType?
Because Web Service Data Controls (and also URL Data Controls AKA REST) use generic name/value pairs to define their structure and don't have strongly typed objects, these are actually stored internally as GenericType objects. The GenericType class is simply a property map of name/value pairs that can be hierarchical. There are methods like getAttribute where you supply the index of the attribute or it's string property name. Why is this important to know? Because invokeDataControlMethod returns GenericType objects and developers either need to parse these GenericType objects themselves or use one of our helper functions.
This class does exactly what it's name implies. It's a helper class for developers to aid in serialization of GenericTypes to/from java objects. This is extremely handy if you have a large GenericType object with many attributes (or you're just lazy like me!) and you just want to parse it out into a real java object you can use more easily. Here you would use the fromGenericType method. This method takes the class of the Java object you wish to return and the GenericType as parameters. The method then parses through each attribute in the GenericType and uses reflection to set that same attribute in the Java class. Then the method returns that new object of the class you specified. This is obviously very handy to avoid a lot of shuffling code between GenericType and your own Java classes. The reverse method, toGenericType is also available when you want to go the other way. In this case you supply the string that represents the package location in the DataControl definition (Example: "MyDC.myParams.MyCollection") and then pass in the Java object you have that holds the data and a GenericType is returned to you. Again, it will use reflection to calculate the attributes that match between the java class and the GenericType and call the getters/setters on those.
Issues and Possible Improvements:
In the next installment we'll show you how to make your web service calls asynchronously so your UI will fill dynamically when the service call returns but in the meantime you show the data you have locally in your bean fed from some local cache. This gives your users instant delivery of some data while you fetch other data in the background.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- There are no accidents in Mike Murphy's clubhouse, where every uniform number and locker assignment comes with a subtle purpose. That was the case when Tim Hudson showed up at Scottsdale Stadium for the first time and found himself comfortably tucked in between Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain.
The Giants and their 2014 hopes might depend in large part on Hudson and his surgically repaired ankle fitting in just as seamlessly on the field. On Day 1, all the reports were positive.
"I feel like I'm right on schedule to be healthy for the start of the year," Hudson said Friday, as pitchers and catchers reported. "The ankle feels really good. It's definitely pretty close to 100 percent. It's not quite there yet, but we still have a few more weeks to get it there. I don't suspect it's going to be a problem."
Hudson fractured his right ankle in July, when New York Mets outfielder Eric Young Jr. stepped on the back of Hudson's leg during a close play at first base. Manager Bruce Bochy said at FanFest that he expected to take it slowly with the 38-year-old, but Hudson hit the ground running this week. He had no limitations while running Thursday and said he threw his third bullpen session, putting him on a normal track for this time of year.
"It's responding really well," he said. "I don't think about it at all when I'm out there throwing and running around."
Hudson is part of the normal rotation this weekend and will throw off a mound Sunday. He's expected to be in the rotation when games begin later this month.
"He took a bullpen and looked good," Bochy said. "We think he'll be ready."
Hudson spent the past nine seasons with the Atlanta Braves, but he's no stranger to the Phoenix area, having spent the beginning of his career with the A's. Despite what Hollywood has portrayed, those teams were led by the dominating trio of Hudson, Mark Mulder and Barry Zito.
A decade later, the three are connected in a completely different way. Hudson called Zito before signing a two-year deal with the Giants in November and said the left-hander gave glowing reviews of the organization. Now back in Arizona, Hudson isn't far from Mulder, who has put his TV career on hold to attempt a comeback with the Los Angeles Angels.
"I thought he would get into modeling before trying baseball again," Hudson said, smiling.
The Giants have a Big Two right now, in Cain and Madison Bumgarner, and Hudson said knowing those two would be here, along with Lincecum, who re-signed in October, was a big reason why he chose to return to the West Coast.
"Anytime you come to San Francisco you're always thinking about tough starting pitching," he said. "You know, they're pretty good. It was always fun sitting in the other dugout and watching these guys pitch."
It surely wasn't fun facing all of his new teammates, including catcher Buster Posey, a Florida State product. Hudson, a huge college football fan, wore an Auburn sweatshirt as he greeted new teammates for the first time.
"Everybody has their faults," he joked, glancing toward Posey's locker.
"I feel amazing, especially the shoulder," Sanchez said. "You have to work for this, especially with what happened last year. Last year was a learning season. I learned a lot about how I have to be in shape and be ready."
Sanchez hit just .248 last season and seemed to take a step back defensively, but he enters camp as the backup to Posey, and the Giants are pleased with the steps he took in the offseason.
"Hector looks great," Bochy said. "It's nice to see Hector take that next step and show some ownership on coming to camp in good shape."

ingredient information
Lettuce Baby Red Oak
There are five distinct types of lettuce: leaf (also called loose-leaf lettuce), Cos or romaine, crisphead, butterhead and stem (also called asparagus lettuce). Leaf lettuce, the most widely adapted type, produces crisp leaves loosely arranged on the stalk. Nearly every garden has at least a short row of leaf lettuce, making it the most widely planted salad vegetable. Cos or romaine forms an upright, elongated head and is an excellent addition to salads and sandwiches. The butterhead varieties are generally small, loose-heading types that have tender, soft leaves with a delicate sweet flavor. Stem lettuce forms an enlarged seedstalk that is used mainly in stewed, creamed and Chinese dishes. Crisphead varieties, the iceberg types common at supermarkets all over the country, are adapted to northern conditions and require the most care. In areas without long, cool seasons, they generally are grown from transplants, started early and moved to the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. They are extremely sensitive to heat and must mature before the first hot spell of summer to achieve high-quality heads. If an unseasonably early heat wave hits before they have matured, they almost certainly fail. In many locations, crisphead lettuce plants started in late summer to mature in the cooler weather of fall have a much better chance of success.

Practice navigation skills when you don't need them
|The author recommends practicing your navigation skills (See that big empty green area/ Perfect!) without a compass, but says you should always carry a compass (or two!) as backup. Credit: Tim Jones
This is familiar, but largely featureless country. One spot often looks a lot like another, and it's crisscrossed with old skidder tracks that look like roads for while but disappear just when you think they shouldn't. You can't really get lost, but you sure can get twisted around. From the high ground you can sometimes see a mountain and a pond to orient yourself, but in the woods it's all rocks and trees and swamps and hillsides which seem to slope everywhichway.
I loaded my pack and took off into a cloudy and drizzly afternoon with a swirling wind generally out of the southwest. I had two compasses with me, as usual, but I wasn't in any hurry and decided to see if I could get where I wanted to go without using one. I also had a GPS with me, but the reception was so bad under the trees and heavy cloud cover that you couldn't count on it.
I had no problem the first half mile or so, but then I somehow drifted off course. Stopping to gauge the overall wind direction helped, but it still took a bit of deliberate wandering before I found a familiar spot and could orient myself and make it to camp.
Coming back by a longer loop provided the same challenge. Once, I found a familiar spot, oriented myself and struck off resolutely in the direction I needed to go. Ten minutes later, I found myself in another familiar spot traveling at almost 90 degrees to the course I wanted. The wind and that familiar landmark set me right again. If the sun had been visible or the wind steadier, I don't think I'd have had any problems either way, but without any reliable aids, it was tough. Of course, I always had the compasses for backup if I really needed help.
The lessons: First of all, I'm an experienced woodsman, was traveling in very familiar country and I still got very twisted around at least twice. In country you know extremely well you can probably get find your way on a sunny day. But clouds and, especially mist and fog or darkness can make it really, really tough.
But in unfamiliar country, you absolutely need to have a map (at least in your head) and a compass and the know-how to use them. GPS technology is wonderful, but it doesn't always work. In my experience, the people who tell you they don't need a compass or have one "inside their heads" are lying to themselves. I've never met anyone who couldn't get lost in fog, rain and snow. So carry a compass, know how to use it, and practice your woodland navigation skills when you don't need them.
Life isn't a spectator sport. Get out and enjoy!
Lost? Not! (Not For Long, Anyway)
It's easy to lose things-including yourself-at this time of year. You can be out on a familiar trail and still get lost for any number of reasons: Falling leaves have obscured the treadway. A windstorm (like Sandy) has blown down enough trees and branches to make following the path difficult. Fog or mist rolls in. Or any of the above (or something else unforeseen) slows you down and early darkness catches up with you.
There are degrees of being lost, a progression with each step offering you the chance to make things better or worse. The trick is to use your head and not make things worse, to move in the direction you want to go, not in one you don't.
If, for example, you have been walking on a trail, and suddenly aren't sure if you are still on it, the first thing to do is stop, take a deep breath and look around. This is the first point where you can get yourself more lost, or less, and less is good.
If you have a companion, one of you stays put while the other retraces your steps until he or she is sure the trail has been found.. If you are alone, take a moment to think about what might have happened, mark the spot, then slowly and deliberately try to retrace your steps. Usually, you aren't far off the path and usually, the route you followed looked like a trail but wasn't, so following it backward will lead you back to where you want to be. However, if you panic and move too quickly, you can miss the trail-especially if it's covered with leaves. Mist or fog-which can roll in quickly- can make things even trickier.
If you are bushwhacking and have no trail to find, always try to have a baseline-a road, a stream or a lakeshore, for example-that you can be sure of hitting in an emergency. Where I was wandering, for example, traveling south or southwest would always bring me to a road. Might not be easy or fun, but I'd get there. Of course with no sun, I'd have needed the compass to be sure where south was.
The worst thing you can do is panic and plunge blindly in any direction hoping to find safety. I've been involved in a search where the lost person actually crossed a dirt road without seeing it, so great was their panic. That's a perfect example of making things worse, not better.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
As Translational Medicine Data Become More...
The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
From the Quagmire to Savior and...
Two different approaches to biomarker discovery have identified genetic and protein markers that could help predict which hepatitis C patients undergoing liver transplantation are most likely to develop severe fibrosis and potentially liver failure.
The two sets of research have been carried out by scientists working in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Katze, M.D., at the University of Washington, and are both reported in Hepatology.
Liver failure from chronic hepatitis C infection is the most common reason for liver transplantation worldwide, and invariably the virus will infect the transplanted organ. About a third of HCV patients who receive a liver transplant will progress to severe fibrosis and end-stage liver disease. As there isn't currently any reliable way of clinically predicting which patients will be affected, transplant recipients have to regularly undergo invasive core-needle biopsies to check the status of the organ, and antiviral drugs are used to try and stem hepatitis C-related liver damage, resulting in drug-related toxicity.
The two University of Washington teams therefore used different discovery techniques to try and identify molecular markers of impending liver transplant fibrosis and liver failure. Angela L. Rasmussen, Ph.D., and colleagues analyzed the transcriptomes of 111 liver biopsy specimens taken from 57 HCV-infected patients who had undergone a liver transplant. They identified a molecular signature of altered gene expression in patients at risk of developing severe fibrosis that could be detected before histological evidence of liver disease progression manifested. Moreover, the results pointed to a single precursor state, or set of conditions that predicted the development of liver damage, which was common for different, severe clincial outcomes.
Deborah L. Diamond, Ph.D., and colleagues carried out global protein profiling analyses on 24 liver biopsy specimens obtained from 15 HCV+ liver transplant recipients at six and/or 12 months posttransplantation, and analyzed serum metabolites from another 60 liver transplant patients using computational methods to analyze their data and identify potential key regulatory proteins of liver fibrogenesis. The results highlighted 250 proteins that were highly differentially regulated in patients with rapidly progressive fibrosis, including those associated with various immune, hepatoprotective, and fibrogenic processes.
The findings also suggested that patients who develop significant liver injury experience higher oxidative stresses. This notion was supported by a separate study demonstrating that these patients exhibit changes in oxidative stress-associated serum metabolites. Moreover, further computational analyses indicated that liver fibrogenesis occurs in part due to a link between HCV-associated oxidative stress and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms.

So I'm not sure if developer's are "taking ideas"...but I have one.
I have over 600+ movies on my server with 10+Tb of disk space...and in trying to show my GF how to use the PSM on the PS3...she had a good question. one that has kind of crossed my mind a few times, and I've heard a few more since then.
It would be really neat if PSM could show random movies from one's collection. Maybe, like it creates the transcode folder, maybe it could create a "I'm feeling lucky" folder, and in it would be 10 randomly chosen movies from the library directories.
Here's why.
TV is great because sometimes, you want to watch TV...but you dont' really know what...so you browse. you browse the guide until something catches your eye "Oh. I haven't seen that in a while, and I love that movie".
You're in the mood for a movie, but you're not really sure what.
With PSM, If you only have a few movies, sure..just look through and pick one.
But I'm sure I'm not the only one using this that has movies in the hundreds. I can't always think of exactly what I want to watch...I think a random sampling would be a really nice feature that might separate PSM from the rest.
And if THAT gets good feedback, you could even take it a step further...and randomly pick from a genre
Sometimes, you're in the mood for a comedy...but not sure what. Or I really had a brain-draining day...I just want something simple and uninvolved. Give me a choice of Action movies...

Aid and Development Effectiveness
The current financial crunch and questions around levels of official development assistance (ODA) only highlight the significance of aid quality, its transparent and accountable management and judicious use and allocation, i.e. contribution to reducing poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals , and responding to increasing demands for accountability and transparency in ODA management. Country ownership and South/South cooperation are the guiding principles in this work.
In this regard, UNDP fulfils four integrated functions:
- Support the development of national policy frameworks, institutional capacities for effective aid management and mutual accountability at the country level;
- Facilitate country engagement in the regional and global aid effectiveness discourse;
- Ensure the UN development system is better equipped to support countries in adapting to changing aid modalities and development finance contexts; and
- Provide a systematic and accessible body of evidence and tools to support capacity development for aid effectiveness for development practitioners.
How We Work
Multi-donor aid for development effectiveness in Indonesia
UNDP supported the Government in establishing a multi-donor Aid for Development Effectiveness Programme, which has already attracted donor contributions totalling over US$1.4m. This capacity development programme supports the government in strengthening country systems – from financial management, to procurement, to monitoring and evaluating development results – that lie at the core of the government's transparent and accountable management of all development resources. This programme offers an opportunity to demonstrate a Middle Income Country approach to managing aid as part of overall development resources, with potential benefits for other countries in the region for which peer-to-peer networking opportunities will be actively pursued by UNDP.
Aid information management system in Ghana
UNDP supported the Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFEP) in establishing an "Aid Effectiveness Seminar Series" to develop the capacities of Government staff. While the first seminar was targeted at its junior-level staff working on external resource mobilization, the second seminar of the brought together mid- and senior-level participants from MoFEP and line ministries to exchange and learn on aid effectiveness issues.
Aid coordination and emergency response in Grenada
The Eastern Caribbean Donor Group, which comprises both UN family and traditional development partners, has been instrumental in supporting and coordinating emergency i.e. post-disaster response at the sub-regional level. It has been tested and has worked effectively, for example when Granada experienced a devastating hurricane in 2004 which caused damage to 90% of the housing on the island and devastated the agriculture and tourism sectors, through the existing coordinating mechanism, the donor community was able to rise to the occasion. UNDP was able to play a critical coordinating role on the ground in Grenada, facilitating communication and coordination in the early response.
Programmes and Initiatives
International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI)
The initiative was launched at the Accra High Level Forum in 2008. It aims to bring a step shift in the availability and accessibility of a wider set of aid information than is currently available, both quantitative and qualitative. IATI is a direct response to the aid information needs of programme countries, CSOs, donors and other stakeholders. It is also a concrete step in making the aid transparency commitments donors made in the Accra Agenda for Action a reality.
The availability of better aid information will have a positive impact as well on aid predictability, domestic and mutual accountability and the overall goal of improved aid effectiveness. IATI aims to reduce transaction costs in the reporting on aid flows at the global and country level over time.
UNDP is a member of the IATI Secretariat and is tasked with supporting developing countries in engaging with IATI through participation in consultations, as experts in the IATI Technical Advisory Group or members of its Steering Committee.

After students in Warren County protested in March, Monday, April 17, parents marched and protested in front of the Board of Education.
They want the superintendent and all five board members to resign.
Four years ago, Warren County was ranked academically as the worst school system in Georgia.
Since then, they have come up some.
But many parents are still not happy because they say changes the superintendent and board of education have made are only making things worse.
"I don't understand why now children can't get a quality education in Warren County," says parent Miriam Ivey.
And now they're hoping this march will lead to something.
"We are sick and tired of things they come in our county to do, and as of today, we're gonna put our foot down and we're not gonna take it anymore," says parent Joseph Burnell.
Monday afternoon, some 50 parents protested in front of the Warren County Board of Education.
They're calling for the resignation of Superintendent Carole Jean Carey and all five school board members.
"They're using their position to silence us parents," says David Myrick.
The parents have a laundry list of grievances. At the top are concerns about the hiring and firing practices in the school system.
This comes after three teachers were suspended after an internal investigation revealed they falsified grades.
These parents question the integrity of the findings.
"People coming in here carrying big sticks, beating folks over the head like they don't matter...we have got to stand if we are going to have a future for our children," says Ivey.
They say they've taken a petition with over 300 names to the board to get answers, only to no avail. Some even claim being denied the opportunity to speak at board meetings for the last three years.
"We addressed every single concern, the problem is sometimes when people don't want to know the truth or have to act upon the truth, they won't listen," says Superintendent Carey.
The truth according to the superintendent is that the bar has been raised in what was once ranked academically as Georgia's worst school system.
One former teacher, Carolyn Ebrom Martin, says these parents are only upset because the board has finally put an end to the practice of giving grades to students they don't earn.
"They could not read, they could not perform simple math computation and they were getting A's and B's," Martin says.
We called several school board members. Some were not available or declined to comment.
One board member, Robin Johnson, did say that the parents have had plenty of opportunities to express their concerns.
The parents tell News 12 they will have a rally next week at a church in Warrenton.

2.2-1 Presumption of Innocence
Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified November 6, 2014)
In this case, as in all criminal prosecutions, the defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This presumption of innocence was with this defendant when (he/she) was first presented for trial in this case. It continues with (him/her) throughout this trial, unless and until such time as all evidence produced here in the orderly conduct of the case, considered in the light of these instructions of law, and deliberated upon by you in the jury room, satisfies you beyond a reasonable doubt that (he/she) is guilty. The presumption of innocence applies individually to each crime charged and it may be overcome as to each specific crime only after the state introduces evidence that establishes the defendant's guilt as to each crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt.1
If and
when the presumption of innocence has been overcome by evidence proving beyond a
reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of the crime charged, then it is the
sworn duty of the jury to enforce the law and to render a guilty verdict.2
1 See State v. Gerald W., 103 Conn. App. 784, 790, cert. denied, 284 Conn. 933 (2007).
2 See State v. DelValle, 250 Conn. 466, 473 n.10 (1999) (encouraging use of this language to deter jury nullification).
"The presumption of innocence is not evidence . . . but instead is a way of describing the prosecution's duty to produce evidence of guilt and to convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt." State v. Gerald W., 103 Conn. App. 784, 789 (2007). The presumption of innocence and the reasonable doubt standard are "inextricably intertwined." Id., 789-90 n.4; see also State v. Jackson, 283 Conn. 111, 116 (2007).
"[I]n a criminal case the term [presumption of innocence]
does convey a special and perhaps useful hint over and above the other form
of the rule about the burden of proof, in that it cautions the jury to put
away from their minds all the suspicion that arises from the arrest, the
indictment, and the arraignment, and to reach their conclusion solely from
the legal evidence adduced. In other words, the rule about burden of proof
requires the prosecution by evidence to convince the jury of the accused's
guilt; while the presumption of innocence, too, requires this, but conveys
for the jury a special and additional caution (which is perhaps only an
implied corollary to the other) to consider, in the material for their
belief, nothing but the evidence, i.e., no surmises based on the present
situation of the accused." (Emphasis in original; internal quotation marks
omitted.) State v. Dickson, 150 Conn. App. 637, 654, cert. granted on other
grounds, 314 Conn. 913 (2014) (rejecting defendant's request to use
"presumed to be not guilty" rather than "presumed to be innocent").

Rules for buying a washer
Know your needs
Ask yourself the important questions about your usage. All washers will clean your clothes, but it's the additional options that can make a huge difference. Do you wash a lot of heavily soiled laundry? (i.e. do you have an athlete at home?) Do you wash large quantities and therefore need a large wash capacity? Will you be needing a gas dryer or an electric one? Knowing your particular needs will help you to narrow down the selection significantly, making your ultimate decision less stressful.
Look at new technology
From steam to advanced sensors to touch screens, most likely a lot has changed in the washing machine world since the last time you bought one. Do some homework and learn about new washer technology and how you might use it to get the most out of your machine and your time.
Know your budget
We can't say this enough: know how much you are willing/able to spend before you ever set foot in a store. If you've only budgeted enough money for a basic top-loading washer, don't look at the turbo-washing front-loader that is double what you are able to spend. That said, keep in mind that many retailers have sales, particularly around holiday weekends. We recommend subscribing to e-mails from Lowes, Home Depot, Sears, and Best Buy. Doing so gives you access to e-mailed coupons, as well as the dates of sales and pre-sales, both in-store and online.
What types of washers are available?
Top-loading washer
The top-loading washing machine operates, as its name would suggest, via the top. When you pull up on the lid, you expose the washer drum. They come in traditional or high-efficiency models and many have EnergyStar ratings. You may not expect to find a lot of uber-fancy features on these, but top-loading washers have recently experienced an overhaul of sorts and many manufacturers are enhancing them with the same features as the newer front-load washers. In short, you can find anything from basic dials and two wash cycles to touch screens and 11 or more wash cycles.
Price: $399 to $1699
Average dimensions: Width: 27 inches; depth: 27 inches; height: 43 inches
Front-loading washer
Front-loading washers became popular a few years ago, in part, because of their larger wash capacity. Washers moved from having an average of 3.6 cubic feet of space to anywhere between 3.9 to 5.1 cubic feet. In some cases, that was a minor improvement. But in others, it meant that you no longer had to go to a Laundromat to wash your comforters and large blankets. You could use the large-capacity washer in the comfort of your own home. No back-to-back episodes of "Judge Judy" required. Many top-loading washers have expanded capacity now, but most still do not have the amount of space as front-loading machines. Front-loading washers are sleek and boast much of the newest washing technology like steam and advanced settings. Some front-load washers are stackable, giving you all of the space benefits of having a laundry center without having to sacrifice wash capacity.
Price: $649 to $1,499
Average dimensions: Width: 27 inches; depth: up to 34 inches; height: up to 42 inches (without pedestal)
Laundry center
Laundry centers are most commonly found in apartments and condos where space is at a premium. They have a smaller wash capacity, averaging at 1.5 cubic feet, and are an excellent option for people who want to be able to clean their clothes in their homes but do not have the space for a designated laundry room. Standard hookups are needed, however, so if your home is not outfitted with them, they will need to be installed.
Price: $1,299 to $1,599
Average dimensions: Width: 27 inches; height: 75 inches; depth: 31 inches
Compact washer
Compact washers have small capacities and are designed for those who have extreme space limitations. They don't have the wide range of washing options that standard top-load washers do, but compact washers are utilitarian in that they will clean your clothes without taking up much space in your home. They can be stacked with some front-load compact dryers.
Price: $850 to $999
Average dimensions: Width: 24 inches or less; depth: 22 inches; height: 33 inches
Wash-dryer combination
Washer-dryer combinations are far more popular in Europe than they are in the United States, so you may not have encountered them. As its name would suggest, the washer-dryer combination is an all-in-one machine that washes your clothes and then dries them as well. It's convenient and takes up half of the space of a set of separate washer and dryer. A possible downside is that some consumers complain that clothes feel damp, even after being dried.
Price: $699 to $1,000
Average dimensions: Width: 23 inches; depth: 22 inches; height: 33 inches
What washing machine capacity do I need?
This is an excellent question to ask yourself before you start to shop for a washer, as not all washer drums are created equal. In theory, a washing machine should last you between eight and 12 years. But if you constantly overstuff the drum, you create wear and tear on the motor and shorten the life of your machine. It is also worth noting that the more laundry you can safely fit into the washer, the less frequently you have to wash, which saves energy and time. Here is a chart to help you with this decision (from a previous buyer's guide):
Front-loading washers
Width: 27 inches or more
Capacity: 12 pounds to 20 pounds/3 cubic feet to 5.1 cubic feet
Full-size top-loading washers
Width: 27 inches or more
Capacity: 12 pounds to 16 pounds/3 cubic feet to 5.0 cubic feet
Compact washers
Width: 24 inches or less
Capacity: 8 pounds to 12 pounds load/2.5 cubic feet to 3 cubic feet
Washer-dryer combination
Width: 23 inches
Capacity: 8 pounds/2.11 cubic feet to 2.44 cubic feet
Features and controls
Gone are the days when options for washing laundry were limited to Large/Small or Hot/Cold, referring to the size of the load of laundry and the temperature under which it would be washed. Those features have been broken down into much more specific elements. This is great news for the lifespan of your clothes, as many washers have a special setting for almost any type of clothing you have.
Different cycles and temperature settings
Basic washer settings are heavy duty, normal, delicate, and permanent press. But newer washers have divided these options and made them far more specific. For example, you now can choose from options like prewash, second rinse, bulky/bedding, cotton, handwash/wool, and steam, to name a few. This may be important to you and it may not. If your wardrobe consists entirely of heavy-duty cotton fabrics, you will probably be perfectly fine with a standard, no-frills washer. But if, on the other hand, your wardrobe includes a lot of varieties and delicates, you may want to consider a washer that has settings to meet your individual clothing needs.
Washers used to have two temperature settings: hot and cold. Now you get a much broader selection. With many machines, you can wash and rinse your clothes at different temperatures: hot for washing and stain removal, but perhaps cold for the rinse cycle to prevent the garments from shrinking.
Water level
Most washers have settings that will allow you to set the size of your load of laundry, which will determine the amount of water the machine uses. Some newer washers have sensors that automatically determine the size of your load of laundry and adjust their water output and usage accordingly.
Many manufacturers offer a variety of colors and finishes.
Pedestal and/or bottom drawers
Many front-load washers are equipped to sit on top of pedestals to make them taller and easier to access. Others come with, or can be set on top of, drawers, which function in the same way as a pedestal while offering extra hidden storage.
Next-gen/smart features
Many washers now come standard with steam-cleaning technology. The steam gently penetrates fabrics to remove, dirt, oil, odors, and wrinkles without damaging the clothing.
Touch screens
Instead of the traditional dials or buttons, some newer washers come with touch screens. While this is far from standard, it is an exciting new option that we hope to see more of. If you want to fill your home with smart appliances, these washers fit the bill.
Advanced timers
Many washers now feature both speed-wash settings as well as delayed start settings. Most speed settings will wash clothes in less than 20 minutes. The delayed start is neat option that allows you to preprogram what time your washer will start to cycle. For example, you could set the timer so that you wash would start later in the day and be done at the time you arrive home from work, preventing your clothes from sitting wet in the washer all day.
Antibacterial wash cycle
Antibacterial wash cycles use more advanced internal heating mechanisms to heat water to the proper temperature to kill bacteria and then maintain that temperature throughout the wash cycle. They kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and are definitely something to consider if your kids always seem to be bringing a cold home from school.
Quiet settings
Many washers now include special sensors that will keep the wash load balanced even as the drum spins at high speeds, making the washer operate quietly. Some manufacturers even claim their washers are silent. This is an excellent feature if your laundry room is located on the second floor or near a bedroom.
How can I find a washer that is energy efficient or 'green'?
Look for the EnergyStar rating
The Environmental Protection Agency uses its EnergyStar rating system to recommend products that save energy without sacrificing features of functionality. It is not only the higher-tech washers that meet this standard of efficiency. Many of the most basic washers come with the EnergyStar seal of approval for their excellent water economy.
Look for the CEE rating
The Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) is a nonprofit public benefits organization that works to encourage influencing markets and businesses to accelerate the development and uptake of efficient products. They have a rating system for residential appliances, including washers. Products with in the CEE Tier One are highly efficient, but products in the CEE Tier Three are the most efficient available. Many manufacturers have CEE Tier Three rated, high-efficiency washers.
Read the EnergyGuide label
The EnergyGuide label is a yellow label that tells you how much energy your appliance uses. One of the best features about this label is the fact that it tells you how your appliance stacks up to similar competition in terms of efficiency.

when Eyedea & Abilities were "Sixth Sense"
Before Eyedea and Abilities were E&A, they were "Grand's Sixth Sense."
This CD is the prelude to E&A's "First Born" album on Rhymesayers Entertainment, and it's a wonderful glimpse into how Eyedea and Abilities came to be. This album was recorded on a 4 track in the early to mid 90's when Mikey and Max were still in their early teens.
All profits go to Eyedea's mother, Kathy. This CD includes a photo sheet with rare pictures of Mikey & Max from the Grand's Sixth Sense era. While supplies last.

Has there been an artist with more obvious talent? Hah, Eyedea made a lot of music that wasn't my cup of tea, but jesus was his talent undeniable. I could barely speak coherently in my early teens let alone rap. And he's rapping like a seasoned vet here.

Ramzan Kadyrov, murderous warlord and "president" of Chechnya, is trying to recast his country as a hub for international football. And to celebrate the opening of a new stadium he had built in Grozny, Kadyrov hosted a friendly match between his team, made up of various
criminals and murderers businessmen, and a team of retired international stars that included Argentinian great Diego "Hand of God" Maradona.
And wouldn't you know it, Kadyrov himself scored a hat trick on Wednesday night, punishing his opponents with his skills on the field. So not only can Kadyrov make political adversaries disappear and order hits on journalists, but the man can play! That, or he threatened to dismember the players of Team Maradona if they dared beat him. Either way, he won!

2013 Ford Explorer Sport: Two Things That Could Hold It Back
August 27th, 2012
The 2013 Ford Explorer Sport answers a question not a lot of people will ask.
Ford changed the new Explorer from a truck-based SUV to a more efficient unibody crossover to reduce weight and increase fuel economy. An optional 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine helps meet that goal and gives the Explorer a gas mileage rating of 20 mpg city, 28 highway, which is pretty good considering the size of the vehicle. Why Ford would go and morph the Explorer back into a gas-guzzling SUV is beyond me.
In theory, the new Explorer Sport makes sense, but there are two important factors I think will keep it from becoming a major success.

Proud first time parents Joe Francis and Abbey Wilson are delighted to announce the birth of their two daughters Alexandria Claire Francis & Athena Olivia Francis Born this morning October 7th, 2014 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Joe Francis and longtime girlfriend Abbey Wilson are proud to announce they are pregnant with twin baby girls. The happy couple couldn't be happier with the anticipation of their new additions. Ok Magazine was first to report the exciting news.
Francis isn't concerned about being the father of two girls. "We chose to have girls," he said. "I believe people will finally understand my love, respect and admiration for women. I love girls."
And it should be no surprise that Joe and Abbey are already getting parenting advice from their famous friends.
"Mario and Courtney Lopez took us baby shopping at Bel Bambini, and Mario is now coaching Joe on fatherhood!"
You can read more exciting baby news HERE.
Joe Francis attacked rumors head first in his latest sit down interview with Entertainment Tonight. In his Bel-Air home he faced off with special correspondent Cheryl Woodcock. Hitting on topics form his rumored bankruptcy to his headline making sex-tape nothing was off limits. The creator of the Girls Gone Wild brand touched on all allegations created by the media. Setting the record straight, Joe stressed that his ties with GGW since selling his company were strictly as a consultant and spokesperson. However, he did confirm that a sex-tape, illegally stolen from his girlfriend Abbey Wilson, was 100% true. Joe joked that he didn't understand why it was such a "big deal" but encouraged viewers to do their own research and come to their own conclusions when forming an opinion about false headlines and media reports. See everything Joe has to say in this compelling interview by clicking on the video above.
Joe Francis sat down with Sam Rubin inside the KTLA studio for a live interview. The creator of the Girls Gone Wild brand took the hot seat answering questions about his bad boy past as long time girlfriend Abbey Wilson came to his defense. In all seriousness, the TV segment was light hearted and showed the softer side of this once notorious Hollywood playboy. One of the funnier moments during the interview is when, for the first time, Joe opened up about meeting Abbey's parents. Despite their preconceived notions he revealed they welcomed him with open arms. The next hot topic was about their recent appearance on "Couples Therapy'. After a short clip was played from the show Sam Rubin noted that Joe and Abbey were the most normal twosome of the cast. (We all agree with that). Check out the clip on KTLA here and make sure to tune into 'Couples Therapy' on VH1 every Wednesday at 10/9c.
From pregnancy rumors, to possible breakups, and even a 9-1-1 phone call emotions were at an all time high inside the 'Couples Therapy' house. The episode started out after a shocking confession was made by '16 and Pregnant' star Tyler. Devastated and in tears, his girlfriend Catelynn sat down with Dr. Jenn Berman to explore her feelings and more importantly what their future may hold. New insights into their relationship were highlighted but it looks like they will continue towards a possible marriage.
Another couple, Chingy and Temple, openly explored their future inside the house. The hip hop star's pending move to Los Angeles combined with his hesitation to cohabitate created an enormous amount of consternation. To everyone's surprise Joe Francis acted as a mediator between the couple and helped them understand the meaning of compromise.
The most shocking revelation of the night was when Flava Flav's longtime girlfriend Liz Trujillo took a pregnancy test that came back positive. Blindsided by the news and overwhelmed, Liz was excused from group therapy for the day. Things continued to decline as she sobbed privately insider her room and exhibited some strange behavior. Concerned about her health the shows staff decided the prudent decision was to call 9-1-1. Find out the fate of Liz and the status of her unborn baby by tuning into 'Couples Therapy' on VH1 every Wednesday at 10/9c.
Tensions are running high in the 'Couples Therapy' house, especially between Flava Flav and girlfriend Liz Trujillo. The episode, airing Wednesday on VH1, started as Liz threatened to leave the show in the middle of the night but was convinced to stay only after an intervention from the show's night staff.
If things weren't dramatic enough things took an emotional turn when Abbey opened up about her eating disorder past. Sitting in front of the entire group she courageously explored her past struggles with bulimia – clearly a difficult topic to discuss. The rest of the 'Couples Therapy' cast also confessed about sexual abuse, threats of violence, and abandonment. This was one of the most emotional moments of the season to date.
The drama in the house continued. After tempers flared between Chingy and girlfriend Temple things got serious during '16 and Pregnant' star Tyler Baltierra's one-on-one session. It was revealed that Tyler was developing cold feet towards his fiancé. With doubts about their future at a boiling point will this couple make it till the season finale? Catch every episode of 'Couples Therapy' airing on VH1 every Wednesday at 10/9c.
During episode 4 of "Couples Therapy" airing on VH1, the secret behind Dustin Zito's gay porn past continued to shock the house. Dr. Jenn Berman confronted the 'Real World' cast member exposing his main motivation for participating in adult videos, the money. During a tear filled therapy session both Dustin and Heather alluded to a traumatic experience from his childhood. Will more revelations be revealed? We're unsure how the rest of the season will play out considering we've learned Dustin and Heather were only on set in the 'Couples Therapy' house for a total of 3 days. Surprisingly, it appears producers have edited the footage to make it seem like Heather and Dustin were actually present for most of the time. Heather and Dustin were last minute additions, joining 'Couples Therapy' two weeks after production started because the original cast members scheduled to appear didn't pass their mandated psychology test. Seems suspicious!
The cast then participated in a group therapy session where each couple was encouraged to express their opinions on each other. After Dr. Jenn instructed them to, "call each other out on their bullshit," things turned tense between Flava Flav and Liz Trujillo as they verbally argued about their relationship. The feedback proved to be too intense and Liz threatened to leave the house before the shows conclusion.
Levity was brought back to the house when a psychic arrived to do reading for the celebrity couples. In an unexpected turn Flava Flav took control of the reading and confessed that he possessed the ability to float. Sound crazy? Wait till you see the surprising ending to this episode airing on VH1 every Wednesday 10/9c.

Roger into quarters
Roger is still on track for a first title in Rome after defeating Croatian Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (4), 6-3 in his third round clash.
"It's difficult to judge against Ivo, he has an unbelievable serve, the best in the game," Roger said. "You don't play much on the baseline and you're always under pressure but I'm playing well and feeling good."
Conditions were fast on Centre Court in Rome and our champ's 208 cm tall opponent once again served extremely well. Roger managed to fashion six break points in the first set but each one was saved by booming serves. Yet in the first set tie-break he made the breakthrough at 5-4 with a brilliant forehand return pass before a netted backhand from Karlovic handed him the set.
Roger landed a forehand on the line to finally break Karlovic's serve and take a 3-2 lead in the second set, then broke again to close out the match when the Croatian missed a volley. He next faces Czech Radek Stepanek. The head-to-head between the two is 4-1 in Roger's favour, Roger having won the last four encounters.

On Saturday, August 11 at 8 p.m. RiverFolk Concerts welcomes singer-songwriter-Cosy Sheridan at The Cooperage, 1030 Main Street, Honesdale, PA. A songwriting workshop is offered at 3 p.m., limited to 20 attendees, for $30.
Cosy Sheridan has been called "one of the era's finest and most thoughtful singer-songwriters." She first caught the attention of national folk audiences in 1992 when she won both the Kerrville Folk Festival's NewSong Award and The Telluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Contest, and then released her critically acclaimed CD Quietly Led on Waterbug Records. Almost 20 years later she is one of the most respected touring musicians on the folk circuit as well as a favorite teacher at many adult music camps
In 2011 when she released her tenth CD, The Horse King, The Chicago Examiner wrote: "You can't make it into double digits, and continue touring for twenty or so years, unless you know what you're doing and do it well. Rarely do you find a CD where every song is memorable. It happens, just not often. It happens here."
"Sheridan is frank, feisty, sublimely and devilishly funny. She fuses myth with modern culture; Persephone with Botox," said The Cornell Folksong Society. For the past 18 years, she has taught classes in songwriting, performance and guitar at workshops and adult music camps across the country such as The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and The Swannanoa Gathering. In 2008 she co-founded The Moab Folk Camp in southeastern Utah with TR Ritchie.
Suggested Donation for the concert is $15 Advance; $18 at the door. For reservations or information call (845(252-6783 or log onto www.riverfolkconcerts.vpweb.com or www.cosysheridan.com .
Light fare will be available for purchase from the Willow River Café (BYOB). For more information online about The Cooperage Project, go to www.thecooperageproject.org.

STOCKTON – A man told police he was at California and Park streets around 7:40 p.m. Sunday when he was confronted by a man who first said something to him, then fired several rounds at him, hitting him in the buttocks.
The victim called his cousin, then began walking to a local hospital, while the assailant fled in an unknown direction, according to Stockton police.
Stockton police officers found him before he reached the hospital but were unable to find the scene of the shooting or any witnesses, police said.

The Queen City Fair will have plenty of parking for everyone. In recent weeks, the Mississippi Department of Transportation informed local leaders that fair goers can no longer park along Highway 19, but organizers say the solution is even better for those attending.
Traffic along Highway 19 can get heavy and at times and dangerous for pedestrians. For this reason organizers say they feel moving overflow parking off of the highway right-of-way is a good idea.
"This parking situation has become a bigger deal in the last few years, just by virtue of the fact that we have had more people here," said Len McRae of Eventz, which brings the fair to Lauderdale County.
And now, the issue has been resolved. City and county leaders have been meeting for weeks to reach a solution.
"We are planning on allowing them to park down on the NEW Corporation road, newly constructed road there, and just to alleviate problems, we are going to have a shuttle bus," said city engineer Champ Adcock.
"As far as I'm concerned, we are just parking in a different place, when it comes to the overflow parking, when you are having overflow parking issues, it's a good thing that means you are having enough people that you need more space," McRae said.
Only on busy nights like Friday and Saturday is this a big issue. For most of the week there will be plenty of parking on site at the Lauderdale County Agri-Center.
"We have expanded some of the parking here around the Ag Center and that will help out a lot of it," McRae said. "And there are just going to be times Friday and Saturday night during the peak hours that it will be an issue."
Local leaders say they expect don't foresee any major problems with the change, as the new parking area will be clearly marked and plenty of representatives will be available to direct traffic.
The fair is Sept. 27-Oct. 3.

Hi runners, joggers and woggers
I am still a new runner done about 14, 5K races, 1 10K. All of them slow....Bu i am finding lately when I run The top of my foot goes numb and sometimes around my ankle. Anyone else experience this or know what I can do to alleviate it? Thank you and keep running.
How tight do you tie your shoes?
Fat old man PRs:
are your shoes a size or 2 larger than your normal shoe size?
Hi, 8 is my regular shoe size, 8.5 is what I wear in running shoes. I also wear thin socks from under Armour and my running shoes have a wide toe box. You could also go to run store and they will have you run on treadmill and advise you on what running shoe you need. I should have done that before buying 5 different running shoes before I found a pair that is comfortable for me to run in.~ Maria
I had that happen. I was wearing the brooks ravinas and I really loved them. I guess my feet changed a bit and they just didn't fit me correctly anymore. I even had a session with the Brooks rep and he admitted that they just didn't have what I needed. I then had a fitting with the Newton rep. Ahhhhhhhhh
I have been one happy camper since. Another good thing about the Newton (cause they are expensive) is that you get a 30-60 day no questions return policy. Good luck and happy trails!
If you haven't seen the Newtons they are a totally different type of shoe. They have the lugs. Anyway give em a try. You won't regret it!
Try the elastic laces that triathletes use. They allow your foot to move a little at the top of the shoe and where you would normally tie them. It relieves the pressure on those spots. Most running shoe stores carry them.
You can also try YouTube vidoes on how to tie running shoe laces. There are many different ways to tie laces that relieve pressure in different parts of the foot.
Or as another posted stated, try a different pair of shoes.
I'm a barefoot runner. That means no shoes, not barefoot or minimalist shoes. I have the same problem every spring for about a month, the toes on my right foot will fall asleep (go numb) and the numbness kind of works it's way back on my foot depending on how far I run. After about a month or so of running the problem dissappers. Maybe it's just that I have to burn off a little of that winter weight. I really have no idea what causes it or why it stops happening after a while. Everyone is talking about some problem you might have with your shoes. It might not have anything at all to do with your shoes. Maybe it's your running style or how or where your foot is hitting the ground.
Just wanted to thow my two cents in.
Are you stretching? Numbness can also be caused by a pinched nerve, either in the lower back or leg. Prior to a run do not stretch, but do range-of-movement moves such as squats, lunges, leg lifts, butt kicks, etc, that activate the muscles and tendons in the legs and feet. Walk a few minutes and insert a few brief (10-15 step) jogs. Now you're ready to run. After the run, then do your stretching. Make sure you stretch your hamstrings, Achilles, calves, IT band, groin, lower back, etc.
Hello there! I am a long distance runner and experience the numbness in my feet sometimes too. My mom (who also runs) uses the elastic laces as one of the previous responders noted and she also wears Newton shoes (noted by another responder above). Because this has happened to me in different shoes, I do not believe that my shoes are the problem. I find that if I continue running but move forward more onto the balls of my feet that the numbness goes away. It does not go away if I stop running and try to walk. Sometimes I also have to completely stop and bend over from the waist and do a big stretch. Hope this helps! Go runner go!
One thing that should be mentioned here, is that numbness in the feet is a possible sign of diabetes.
I am not discounting any of the possible solutions listed here, and the stress that running puts on feet can certainly be responsible for numbness without diabetes. But if it continues, it's worth getting checked out.

Like Richard Branson, who arrived late and left early when I interviewed him three years ago, JetBlue founder David Neeleman seems to be a man in a hurry. He showed up 20 minutes after the appointed time for our talk, exchanged brief hellos and ducked into his office to check e-mail.

A sign in Jack DeBoer's office reads, "Success is seldom permanent. Neither is failure." DeBoer has seen plenty of both in his long career but his spectacular wins have been sufficient to eclipse his losses. Business-minded since childhood, he began selling real estate while still in high school in Kalamazoo, Mich., and has been an entrepreneur ever since.

Some people have aviation in their DNA. Stanley Stub Hubbard got it from his father, Stanley Eugene Hubbard, who took up flying in 1916, started a few marginally successful airlines, opened an airport in Louisville, Ky., and helped organize the Metropolitan Airport Commission in 1943. By then he had already established himself in radio-and had passed on the flying bug to his son.

Though he is no longer under the employ of a corporation, you can't really call Brian Barents retired.

AUSTIN (January 29, 2013)--The Texas Education Agency announced Tuesday that the passing rates on the STAAR exam for grades 3-8 have topped 70 percent.
The new standardized statewide test was given to students in those grades for the first time last year.
Education Commissioner Michael Williams said he was encouraged by the results.
Eighth grade students scored some the highest.
Eighty percent passed the reading exam, 76 percent passed mathematics and 70 percent passed science.
The STAAR exams replaced the TAKS test amid widespread complaints from parents and teachers.
The STAAR test was supposed to count toward 15 percent of a student's end-of-course grade, but the Legislature has suspended the requirement.
Students still take the exams, which are considered more stringent.
Lawmakers have promised to revamp standardized testing in this year's legislative session.

At a tough invitational in Evergreen, four Summit High wrestlers placed in the top five in their respective weight classes.
Tyler Blackford wrestled at 160 pounds and placed third after winning four out of five matches, losing only to an opponent ranked No. 2 in the state from a 5A school.
Nick Wittrock, wrestling at 120 pounds, placed fourth in his weight class. Head coach Pete Baker said Wittrock has the potential to finish third, but wasn't permitted to wrestle a sixth match due to Colorado High School Activities Association rules not allowing a wrestler to have more than five matches in a day.
At 113 pounds, Brayan Daniel placed fifth in his weight class after a double overtime match. Carlos Lopez also placed fifth in his 106-pound class.
The team finished 11th out of 18 teams and tallied 12 pins, an impressive finish for the boys.
Baker said he's impressed with the team so far, adding that he's confident these four will compete at the state tourney this year.
"Overall, the team looked really good at the Evergreen tournament," Baker said, adding that the upcoming tourney at Alameda High School on Saturday has an unknown factor to it, but he expects similarly tough competition. Still, he's hopeful for even stronger finishes as the season progresses.
"Tyler is peaking. He is coming into his season how he should this time of year," Baker said. "Nick's been real steady and real good all season, only losing to some really tough guys. Tyler is peaking and elevating to that next level."
Editor's note: In a Jan. 10 story titled "Summit High Tigers tally two wins for 2013," head coach Pete Baker was incorrectly called Pete Campbell.
Shutting out Bishop Machebeuf, Summit High hockey skated to its third win of the season on Saturday.
The Tigers put up 32 shots on goal to Machebeuf's 18, with Jack Nevicosi scoring two goals off assists from senior captain Sean Farley. George Kamins scored his first goal of his high school career with an assist from Nevicosi, and senior Peter Grotemeyer sealed the deal with a goal in the third period with help from Blake Horan.
"I felt we had a style and system in place," head coach Chris Ruhly said. "For the first time this year, I felt that everyone did what we asked of them. Everyone had a specific job and a specific role for (Saturday's) game. Everyone came ready to play with the understanding of getting back on track after a disappointing game a week ago. It was non-conference, but, a win's a win."
The team is now 3-6 on the season, and enters conference play tonight and Friday. Tonight's game against Monarch is at the Stephen C. West Ice Arena at 6:45.
In Friday's bitter cold dual slalom nighttime race at Keystone Resort, the Summit High alpine team qualified six girls and six boys for the state slalom competition.
"It was cold, but the kids really enjoyed it. They enjoyed the format," coach Karl Barth said, explaining that each racer went head-to-head with an opponent on the course, which pushes them to go faster. For some, it pushed them too hard - hard enough to make mistakes - but Barth hopes that will correct itself in Thursday's slalom race at Beaver Creek.
"Hopefully, we'll get the kids who just missed qualifying to qualify," Barth said, adding, "It's a steeper more technical course."
One skier the head-to-head format particularly benefitted was Jessie May.
"She's a good skier, but she tends to hang back a little bit. Having someone to ski against really pushed her. She qualified for state and hasn't done a slalom before," Barth said.
Summit's Anne Parker won the race by .48 seconds with a time of 45.79, beating the defending state champion in both runs.
Ellie Brown-Wolf was third, Katy Harris finished fourth, Nicole Wagner finished 10th, May was 15th, and Meagan Collins was 17th to round out the qualifiers and to comprise the winning girls team.
Summit beat Battle Mountain School, which came in second, as well as Middle Park, Platte Canyon, Lake County, Clear Creek and Vail Mountain School, in that order.
On the boys' side, Daniel McFadden took first place by nearly a second with a time of 43.38. He, too, won both runs.
Ohter state qualifiers included Patrick Gruber, who finished third, Robert Powell in fourth, Lucas Michieli in eighth, Ryan Wignall was 11th, Brian Coleman was 17th and Jack Farrell finished in 19th.
Again, Summit topped the competition, with Battle Mountain, Vail Mountain School, Lake County, Platte Canyon, Clear Creek and Middle Park following.


text: Until very recently, film and television were antagonistic entities; television was the inexpensive stepchild of film, and the creators of each were unlikely to be found working in the other. It changed in 2005, when Geena Davis and Glenn Close decided to appear on television series, and the act of creators and performers crossing back and forth between the two mediums is relatively common. But in the late 1990's and early 2000's, it was unusual that a creator could easily jump back and forth between film and television. One creator who did was Glen Morgan.
