She refuses to turn over "pubic records"? I'm not sure I would, either.
Very weird ramblings. I assume you are trying to channel Daheny or Fitz, who try and disguise biased political commentary as humor.
However, it was a bit funny.
If you want to see New England type fall colors in Arizona, go down to the Chiricahua Mountains in southeast Arizona, and specifically go to Maple Camp.
This was a very weird column. Congratulations!
It's beyond me why anyone would bring jive Mexican facsimile food to the town that has the best Mexican fare in the U.S. That photo just screams ranch dressing and salsa that tastes like spaghetti sauce. Oh well, people that frequent 4th Ave. are so stoned, they don't know what they're eating anyway.
Doña Quixote of the Old Pueblo?
The Easter Bunny has fallen on hard times just like everyone else.
It's fascinating how the fear of "Marihuana" first instilled in the public mind in the 1930's through blatantly deceitful and racist propaganda has endured to this day. The folks at ARDP and their ilk are still drinking that antique, polluted kool-aid. Fortunately, their numbers are rapidly declining along with their delusions of doom.
Vote yes on Prop 205! It's not perfect, but much better than prohibition. Laws in Colorado are evolving to be more reasonable as the benefits of legalization accrue and fears subside. Same will happen here.
I've already suggested the owner name something after Boatner's. I was thinking a signature beer from a local brewery, like "Boatner's Seaside Ale" or a Boatner's taco or something.
Another nail in the coffin.
A few things stuck in my craw about this article.
First, "this land of heat and cactuses." It's *cacti*, dammit, *cacti*. You're a New York Times writer, for heaven's sake!
Second, the assumption that Tucson's foodie reputation is not really "all about the restaurants." Oh no? Then what do you make of El Minuto, Tavolino, the Grill at Hacienda Del Sol, Brooklyn Pizza Company, La Placita, or the simple pleasure of a well-crafted sandwich or sushi roll on the patio at AJ's?
Last but not least, I need to repeat what a few commenters on the NYT article itself mentioned: Tucson is a fabulous place to grow your own produce year-round and has no shortage of truly fresh fruits and vegetables.
The article was halfway between being decent and damning with faint praise, if you ask me.
Let's not forget that Pima County also lost a recent case. In the case that is described in the article, the State ingnored the law. In the case lighting case described below, Pima County ignored the law. Seems to me that the County ignored the law once again. https://arizonadailyindependent.com/2016/0…
Spoken like a true teacher. World and federal governments have overloaded the public schools with unnecessary crap and nobody wants to admit they just can't seem to teach the basics. That's exactly why thinking parents have left. I appreciate choice in education for all. At this point what do you have to lose?
@Nancy, someone's revealed LeBuzz in the comments on the Times' story :(
Public education is not broken and has never been. That's simply the mindless blather of those who should devote their time to addressing our broken society and political system.
Whether or not charter schools are good (some are, most aren't), Oliver is discussing the cancerous influence of for-profit 'public' charters and the vultures profiting from them.
Last Friday they had a nice little piece on the downtown Tucson food scene in USA Today.
Someone who seems to be wanting to convey the impression that he is Huppenthal and who regularly introduces Huppenthal-style talking points and defends Huppenthal's agenda in office has been commenting on Safier's blog for a while now, and there have been interesting exchanges in the comment streams with this individual (or these individuals? -- you never know with anonymous comment streams where the user chooses the screen name). In that Safier was one of those somehow involved in the breaking of the stories on Huppenthal's role as an anonymous online commenter and in the lead-up to Huppenthal no longer serving as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, it would make some sense for Huppenthal to post here under his name now, but who knows.
As for the idea that "There is something inherently flawed in the delivery process of public education," there are certainly serious problems in some public school systems in the US -- especially in poor urban districts like TUSD, which properly form a category unto themselves -- but a thorough study of public education systems in other states in the US and in other countries would be needed before any conclusions could be drawn about the extremely broad and diverse category "public education." There are better and worse ways of managing publicly funded delivery of universal K-12 instruction. Arizona, for various reasons including both ill-advised draconian funding cuts at the state level and some state-enabled egregious examples of gross mismanagement at the district level, falls into the "worse" category.
The poster looked to me like jhuppent. I wasn't sure who/what that was. Are you sure that Mr Huppenthal posts here? But I did find accurate links to statements made.
In other posts, Huppenthal has seemed to understand that test scores and parent satisfaction surveys do not measure school quality. Here he is citing rankings based on test scores and parent satisfaction surveys to try to prove that the Arizona educational system has improved since the introduction of charters. Are there multiple people, with mutually inconsistent opinions, posting under Huppenthal's name, or is the real Huppenthal just being inconsistent?
Also: please note that there has been no plausible argument in support of a viable "causation" relationship between the introduction of charter schools and a reduction of murders committed by juveniles. There are any number of factors that could have played into such a reduction, as anyone with a decent background in social science (as opposed to engineering and business administration) knows.
Being able to act constructively in a position like State Superintendent of Instruction properly requires a sound knowledge base in the social sciences and the field of education. The fact that the majority of voters in this state do not seem to grasp this is a good argument for making the role an appointed one, rather than an elected one. The fact that the changes made to the public education system here in recent years have left us with schools where we cannot fill our teaching positions with fully qualified, professional teachers is another argument for taking the ability to fill State Superintendent of Instruction out of the hands of voters.
As for those who like to blame the problems in public schools solely on funding cuts, they are only partially right. If they would like to develop a more well-rounded understanding of what is really happening in the world around them (as opposed to what is happening in the stories they tell and re-tell themselves and others), they should start forcing themselves to attend every TUSD Board meeting. There, if they pay attention, they will soon note that gravely malfunctioning governance and administration -- related to but not necessarily caused by insufficient funding -- are a big part of the picture in the largest public school district in Southern Arizona.
It has been previously noted in these comment streams that the entirely preventable governance and administrative problems in a public school district serving tens of thousands students is partly the state's fault, not just because of its ill-advised funding cuts, because also because of its negligent oversight and lax enforcement of laws on the books that are there to keep public districts functioning properly.
Thanks j. I found more of those facts when I looked. We are sure led to believe that all they needed was more money. There is something inherently flawed in the delivery process of public education.

Rapper/Alameda County Sheriff's Office deputy.
Jinho "The Piper" Ferreira straddles two universes.
He is one-third of the Oakland alternative hip-hop band Flipsyde, which gained international acclaim touring with the Black Eyed Peas and Snoop Dogg, among others. Two of the group's songs were selected as Olympic theme music at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy, and again in Beijing in 2008.
Two years ago, the Oakland native became an Alameda County Sheriff's Office deputy. He was raised in West Oakland and majored in black studies at San Francisco State.
Ferreira brings a unique perspective about the violence in Oakland to his new one-man play, "Cops and Robbers." He has a vantage point that most people don't. Ferreira has a foot in the hip-hop world -- not as a wannabe rapper but as an authentic, well-respected MC. Yet he has also worked as a counselor at Alameda County juvenile hall and as a sheriff's deputy, where he has witnessed first hand the black-on-black genocide occurring in Oakland and in cities all across the country. He does not find anything glamorous about seeing someone's brains blown out and the contents of their stomach spilling out onto the street, which he makes a reference to in the play.
"Cops and Robbers" examines the dysfunctional relationship among law enforcement, the community and the media, which, Ferreira believes, has prevented communities from finding real solutions to street violence. Everyone in the play is more wedded to their liberal or conservative ideology than they are to saving lives. Ferreira's goal is to get people to move beyond the divisive politics around the issue of public safety that have created a state of paralysis.
The "Cops and Robbers" plot revolves around an Oakland police officer shooting an African-American man. Ferreira plays more than a dozen characters -- among them a black activist, a thug, a racist white cop, a television news reporter and a Rush Limbaugh-type conservative talk show host.
After the shooting, the usual suspects resort to their predictable knee-jerk responses. The black activist accuses the police department of conducting a campaign to annihilate the black community -- turning a blind eye to the fact that the suspect was a ruthless pimp who sold children. The white conservative immediately rushes to defend the police officer's actions. But then Ferreira introduces a series of shocking twists that ultimately reveal the truth behind the shooting and show the foolishness of people who cling to an absolute ideology regardless of the facts.
Ferreira skewers liberals and conservatives. His female television reporter is a funny but sad caricature of the media, which hypes police shootings of African-Americans yet relegates most black-on-black killings to a drive-by crime blotter. There are no sacred cows in this performance, which I suspect will make a lot of people uncomfortable.
"I feel like I am really honest with the characters," Ferreira says. "I really had no idea what people were going to think because people don't always do well with the truth."
"Cops and Robbers" is downright brutal in its honesty.
One of the characters describes in sickening detail how a cocaine addict sold her niece to a pimp. Another talks about a child molester who bragged about raping children.
Some of the content is difficult to stomach. This would be a good place to note that the play is for mature audiences only. It is most definitely not for children.
Yet as difficult as some portions of the play are to sit through, it will definitely make you think.
"This is a play for anyone who wants to improve the quality of life in the community," Ferreira said. "Anyone who is interested in a solution rather than in just winning the debate."
"Cops and Robbers" is co-directed by Ami Zins, former director of the Oakland Film Office, and Lew Levinson.
The performance is at 7 p.m. Saturday at Malonga Arts Center, 1428 Alice St. in Oakland.

Heart Disease Health Center
Underlying Cause of Heart Failure Predicts Survival
April 12, 2000 (Tampa) -- Whatever causes your heart muscle to weaken and fail also predicts how long you will live, according to a recent study. And if doctors can predict who will live longer, they will be better able to determine who among those waiting for a heart transplant needs a heart the most.
Heart failure is when the heart muscle doesn't pump as well as it should, causing sufferers to feel weak, tired, or short of breath, especially with exercise or even modest activity.
"For years, patients with unexplained heart failure have been lumped together with the nonspecific diagnosis of 'cardiomyopathy,'" researcher Ralph H. Hruban, MD, professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, tells WebMD. But patients with this diagnosis had widely varying survival rates.
A study of more than 1,000 patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital found that the underlying cause of heart muscle disease causing failure helps predict how long patients will live. The study was reported in the April 13 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
"This study helps us ... to make end-of-life decisions, and to determine the need to transplant and when," researcher Edward K. Kasper, MD, tells WebMD. He is associate professor of medicine and director of the cardiomyopathy and heart transplant service at Johns Hopkins. "If the patient has a type of cardiomyopathy associated with [poor survival], I would counsel them to get their affairs in order, and [they] might also be more likely candidates for transplant."
The study showed that five years after diagnosis, three-quarters of these patients with heart failure caused by unknown reasons were still alive, as were three-quarters of patients with heart failure caused by lack of oxygen to the heart muscle. The majority of patients with heart failure related to pregnancy were still alive five years after diagnosis.
Patients with poor survival rates included those who had heart failure as a result of HIV, heart infections, or undergoing chemotherapy. Less than half of these patients were still alive after five years.
"This exciting study [shows] that a heart biopsy, which is safe at specialized centers such as Johns Hopkins, can help classify patients with cardiomyopathy into clinically important groups," Hruban tells WebMD. Even after biopsy, or surgical removal and microscopic examination of a small piece of heart muscle, no definite diagnosis could be made in half the patients.

Seeking Melbourne-Paris Doubles Double
There hasn't been a pro calendar-year Grand Slam in tennis in a quarter century, in singles or doubles. Heading into the French Open's second Friday, three potential Grand Slams are in play. It was nearly four, before Australian Open singles champion Victoria Azarenka lost in the third, 6-4, to Maria Sharapova, in Thursday's first women's semifinal. Novak Djokovic, who also won in Melbourne, will have to beat seven-time French Open winner Rafael Nadal in the first men's semifinal on Friday to have a chance at winning all four major tournaments in 2013. And Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci are two matches from winning their second women's doubles major of the year, and third in a row.
The best hope for a Grand Slam in 2013, though, may be in the division that has been waiting the longest for one. Brothers Bob and Mike Bryan, the Australian Open champs, are a match away from winning the French Open. If they do, they will already have accomplished something historic. Never since the professionalization of the sport has a men's pair won the season's first two majors. The last pair to do so was the Australian duo of John Newcombe and Tony Roche, in 1967, during the amateur era. Five other pairs, mostly Australians, did so since the only men's doubles Grand Slam, won by Frank Sedgman and Ken McGregor in 1951. Amazingly, they went on to win the first three majors in 1952, for seven straight.
The Bryans, when asked after their semifinal match Thursday if they recalled the last time a pair had won the first half of the Grand Slam, thought about it for a moment, then said they knew it hadn't been done for some time. The Bryans came awfully close to ending the drought in 2006, when they won in Melbourne and reached the final in Paris.
Why has the wait for an Australian-French double been so long? "Doubles is harder to dominate," Bob Bryan said after his and Mike Bryan's 6-1, 6-4 semifinal defeat of Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares. "The margins are so small. One break and you're done."
Singles players have won the two tournaments more recently. Jim Courier did it in 1992. Jennifer Capriati won both in 2001. Women's doubles has the most recent Melbourne-Paris double: Serena and Venus Williams, another pair of siblings who carve out big margins in doubles, won both titles in 2010.
Several factors suggest that the Bryans have the best chance of their career to not only win the first two majors of the year, but to win the first men's doubles Grand Slam of the Open era. First, there is their great form. They've lost just six times all year, all in deciding sets or tiebreakers. Three came in successive weeks in April, by particularly close margins. "We were playing OK, just…" Bob Bryan said Thursday — "losing to a higher power," Mike Bryan finished. They took a brief break from the tour, camping out in their London base for movie watching and relaxing, and returned to win eight straight matches and sweep the clay Masters events in Madrid and Rome.
Even with their six tough losses, they have won six titles and reached two other finals — matching clay singles master Nadal's total in his comeback season, and matching him in results during the clay Masters season. "It's great to mirror Rafa on the dirt," Mike Bryan said. "Just keep up with Rafa and you're fine." They've also matched their single-season high for titles before the French Open, having won six in 2007; and set a new high mark for finals before the event. The French Open final, Saturday against Frenchmen Michael Llodra and Nicolas Mahut, is the Bryans' ninth of the season.
Llodra and Mahut are each excellent volleyers, and have been playing inspired tennis in front of their home fans. But as a team, they've won just 10 matches, including at this tournament, compared to somewhere over 810 at ATP World Tour-level for the Bryan brothers, playing together (an ATP spokesman was tracking down the exact number Thursday afternoon). That's typical in the doubles world, at least for pairs that aren't related: A couple of bad results or one bad week, and teams "panic," as Bob Bryan put it, and split up. Even if the split leads to new pairings that are better in the long run, it can take six months to a year for results to start improving, as teams get used to each other and improve coordination and communication on court.
This year's highest-profile new teams have been notably unsuccessful. The Bryans and the seven other most-pedigreed teams qualified for the World Tour Finals in London last November. At this year's two majors, the Bryans haven't had to face any of the other 14 men who were at the prestigious year-end event, mostly because they've been losing early. Just two of the other London qualifiers have even made a Slam quarterfinal this year — Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez, two Spaniards who continued playing together this year and made the semis in Melbourne and the quarterfinals in Paris. The third-most successful duo from London is also the one that stuck together — Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer — and reached the third round at each major this year. Eight of the other 10 players from London played the two majors with a different partner; one, Radek Stepanek, failed to win a match with each partner.
The result of these shambolic pairings is that of the 12 teams the Bryans have faced or will face at the Australian Open and French Open, none have won more than 43 matches together in their careers at all levels, including challengers and futures. Of the six teams the Bryans faced in Australia, just two entered the French Open together, and they both lost in the first round.
"A lot of the doubles guys are getting older and a lot are switching partners during the year," Bob Bryan said. "It takes sometimes six months or a year to feel really comfortable with a partner."
If other teams keep switching before spending that long together, or need the full year to gel, the Californian brothers could be making history at the U.S. Open. Even if consistent challengers emerge, the Bryans may be playing well enough to win the Grand Slam, anyway — if they can win their first French Open in a decade, against a pair of talented Frenchmen.

You don't mention what client operating system you are
using, and whether the mount is using TCP or UDP. So subject
the those caveats, specifiying the retrans= option should
give you the effect you want. For example, for timeo=1 and retrans=4,
the timeouts will progress from 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6
seconds, and the repeat the sequence starting at 0.1
That said, low timeouts and retrans values will harm your NFS server,
since it will spend much of its time processing retries of requests
that are in progress. Perhaps you should invest in servers that
don't crash. :-)

Testimony continues in Josh Young murder trialUPDATED 9:27 PM EDT Aug 02, 2013
Testimony continues in the murder trial of Josh Young, who is accused of killing his 14-year-old stepbrother.Video Transcript
OLD. GOOD EVENING, I'M VICKI DORTCH. TREY ZWICKER WAS KILLED IN MAY 2011. HIS 17-YEAR-OLD STEP- BROTHER, JOSH YOUNG, IS ON TRIAL FOR PART OF THE MURDER. WLKY'S MATT MCCUTCHEON IS LIVE AT THE JUDICIAL CENTER WITH MORE ON WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT TODAY. AND SO IS THE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE AND NUMBER OF PEOPLE TESTIFYING. FRIDAY'S TESTIMONY WAS LIKE AN EPISODE OF CSI, WITH SPECIFICS ABOUT FORENSIC RESEARCH. ALONG WITH THOSE SCIENTIFIC DETAILS, CAME GRUESOME DETAILS ABOUT TREY ZWICKER'S BEATING AND MARKS ON HIS BODY. 00 58 10 Dr. George Nichols / FORMER MEDICAL EXAMINER Most likely they were inflicted by beating the back of his head into the underlying ground and rock FOR THE FIRST TIME, JOSH YOUNG APPEARED EMOTIONAL DURING THE DETAILS OF TREY ZWICKER'S COMING TO LIGHT. 00 59 59 Dr. George Nichols / FORMER MEDICAL EXAMINER It's highly doubtful that the additional strike when he was upright killed him; it likely rendered him unconscious and then there was one or more blows that occurred to the back of his head while he was face down on the ground that likely would have been likely to cause a skull fracture, brain contusion, and intimate acute inter-cranium hemorrhaging and subsequent death JOSH GOUKER HAS BEEN CONVICTED IN ZWICKER'S DEATH, BUT THE QUESTION FOR THIS TRIAL IS DID JOSH YOUNG KILL HIM, TOO. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT EVIDENCE HAS YET TO PROVE. 01 11 54 I've never said that two people could not have done this. All I've said is that one person using one instrument could produce the entire findings that are present here. THE JURY SAW PICTURES OF EVIDENCE AGAIN TODAY, INCLUDING ITEMS FOUND WITH ZWICKER'S BODY. A MURDER WEAPON WAS NEVER RECOVERED. JOSH GOUKER IS EXPECTED

Each Teaser Image has been UPDATED with new hints. So the hints for prizes which have been won are gone, and hints for prizes yet to be claimed have taken their place.
So if you're still in the running...
That's good, though even after having all three images and doing some pixel pushing, I still had a hard time figuring out the unsolved ones. Maybe the removal of the solved riddles along with new hints will help. Fun indeed!

The film's stars including Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade serve up some insider info about the made-in-Massachusetts movie including that the cast signed on before the script was completely hashed out and Sandler thought making the film would be a fun way to reunite with his pals from his "SNL" days.
"I was excited to hang out with the fellas and to have a guarantee whole summer together. The fact it was about going to a lake house, I knew it would be fun," Sandler spills. "We all brought our families and are hangin' and having a good time."
Meanwhile, "Grown Ups" crews are building an elaborate set on the "neck" in Marblehead located at a private residence located at 100 Harbor Avenue.
For the next few weeks, set designers will be busy constructing a facade outside of the French-Spanish colonial-style house for a scene scheduled to film on Thursday, Aug. 6 and Friday, Aug. 7. Tents will be set up at Riverhead Beach as well as the parking lot at Marblehead High School.

How Not to Take a Holiday Photo "Why didn't I get my shot? There were a number of things I didn't dothat would have made this a very memorable shot. So that you don't suffer the same fate, here's a short list to check before taking your holiday shots with your digital camera:" [Consumer Reports Electronics]
Why do these posts/alerts/whatever from ConsumerReports.org appear without a title in RSS readers?
When I go back to look at a person's comment history, comments in ConsumerReports.org entries appear without a way to click to them.
What gives?
#1 rule for better photographers – get closer to your subjects.
Another good rule, know your equipment. Take the time to know how to operate that new point & shoot. Don't force friends and family to experience your learning curve.
I think I need a better camera, because mine didn't come out as nice as I would have liked it. I also need to get a green screen for better cutting out of animals.
^_^ I love that picture!!
Do not look to Awkward Family Photos for photography advice.
Get closer to your subjects, make sure everyone is wearing a compatible color palatte (no day-glo yellows, please!), and make sure everyone is grouped. You don't want that one person who is taller than everyone else sticking out of the group like the Statue of Liberty. Have that person sitting with some other tall people, then have the shorter people behind them.
Have parents hold children. Hands in front of faces is the most common tactic children use to destroy a good photo. Have parents anchor their children, and if they don't smile, they don't smile. But by god, people, do not sit there and spend 10 minutes trying to get a kid to smile for a photo. That just makes everyone cranky.
The most important thing I ever learned about taking decent photos is not to the put the subject in the middle. Humans naturally look at the subject's eyes so we tend to put them in the middle of the frame – but when you look at the result it (mostly) looks horrid. Read up on the rule of thirds.
Too bad the photographer didn't think to take more than one shot of the Consumerist.com team members. Then there'd have been a better selection to choose from.
Someone posted a link to a really awesome tutorial site for photography in the forums a while back. The forum is currently down and I didn't bookmark it but if someone remembers the site a link to it would be both appropo and appreciated.
I'm not sure and… and… and correct me if I'm wrong but I think I see … a nipple.
Very happy with the Sony TX-1 I just purchased. First camera I have owned with good low light sensitivity / scene detection. Little low on the battery life though.
I would recommend adding 'in a restroom stall' as another 'How Not to Take a Holiday Photo'
1. Crop in the viewfinder so you get the largest usable print.
2. Don't try to put film in a digital camera. It can't be done and it just annoys the camera.
Another way to get much better looking pictures is to get much better looking subjects. I often buy a frame just so I can get a photo of the family in the frame.

Getzlaf Hopes to Play this Weekend
Wednesday, 02.10.2010 / 11:55 AM PT / News
With a boot still protecting his injured left ankle and an electrical stimulation device tucked into it, Ryan Getzlaf told reporters Wednesday morning that he has high hopes for getting back on the ice this weekend.
"Skating Friday or Saturday is our goal right now," Getzlaf said. "Hopefully I can play Sunday or even Saturday, for that matter. Those definitely are the goals right now, to progress this week, stay off it for the next couple of days, then maybe put the skates on Friday or Saturday.
"All signs are point to things progressing to the way we want it to. We have our fingers crossed and hopefully things will keep going the same way and we don't have any setbacks."
Getzlaf sprained the ankle in the second period of Anaheim's 4-2 victory over the Kings two nights ago and didn't return to the game. He said the way the ankle feels now is in sharp contrast to what he was experiencing that night.
"When I first suffered the injury it was a lot of pain and a pretty big scare for me, obviously, with the situation we're in with the Ducks and trying to push for a playoff spot and finish strong before the break and obviously with the Olympics coming up," he said. "Right now it's a lot better. I'm walking without pain. Obviously, I have the boot on still, but that's just protecting it and making sure I don't do any more damage.
"I woke up this morning and was walking a lot better and I'm off the crutches and all that stuff, so everything is pointing in the right direction."
While Getzlaf understands that his availability for Team Canada in next week's Olympics is a concern, he says his first priority is with the Ducks.
"First and foremost, we're trying to finish strong before the break," he said. "That's a big thing for our group right now. Our team is playing well and we need to get our points when we can. The sooner I get back to the lineup, the better off I'm going to be and our team is going to be."
He also knows he needs to prove to Team Canada executive director Steve Yzerman that he's ready to go when the Olympics start early next week. "Obviously, going into the Olympics, I do need to skate, I do need to play or have a hard practice to show them I'm ready to play," Getzlaf said. "In a short tournament like that, you can't afford to go in injured."

Make Your Ideas Stick
At some point we've all had a great user insight or design concept that a client or stakeholder just didn't buy into. This talk is about how to avoid that heartbreak. It's about generating and spreading ideas that stay with your audiences.
I am a designer in brazilian company focuzed in financial communication and now I work in a new app project and my boss loves the Google interface in specific Gmail, but I dont know, I believe that Google is not good enough, is a good reference but is not the better user xperience, right?
General usability guidelines states users expect a search feature to contain besides the search field, a button labeled "search". Looking at recent designs of search, the button is disappearing. These lack the search button.
Hello everyone.
I've made a post on some thoughts about the user experience and UI handling at google.com homepage following the adoption of Instant search.
I think google need to ditch the 'Google Search' and "i'm feeling lucky' buttons which is absolutely unnecessary with the google Instant experience.
here is my post http://pebam.info/2010/09/15/google-instant-the-death-of-buttons/
Kindly have a look.
I'm REALLY curious to know your thoughts on Google Instant Search.
I'm really stoked to see this. It's a very intuitive user experience. The fact that search refreshes as you type, to me, means that it's an active state of something that used to be the typical call and response. It will be interesting to see if this pattern starts to permeate into other areas of search, say, in your companies intranet site, or your file structure on your mac.

Ole Miss is scoring more points at home in league games (80.2) than on the road (68.2). Junior F Aaron Jones is posting 10.2 ppg and 9.0 rpg in conference home games and just 4.0 ppg and 6.0 rpg in league road games, while freshman F Sebastian Saiz averaging 7.6 ppg and 7.6 rpg in home SEC games and just 3.8 ppg and 4.6 rpg in road games.
Ole Miss is 14-5 this season when committing 15 or fewer turnovers and just 2-2 when turning the ball over more than 15 times. The Rebels rank second in the SEC, and are tied for 26th in the nation, in turnover margin at +3.0.

If you all do remember in the Fascist era, when Albania was part of the crown of Savoy, the nearest village called Porto Edda, in honor of Edda Ciano Mussolini but today we know as Saranda or to put it as Albanians, Sarandë. We are in the southern part of the country of Eagles, near the border with Greece and Corfu, a little further south; it is not so far away.
Here lies the bay of Kakome, one of the most beautiful stretches of unspoilt beach that can be found on the Balkan coast, although there are projects before Club Med, then of the Albanian Riviera, to build a resort on this amazing natural landscape.
Here the coastline is protected by 800 meters high hills covered with Mediterranean vegetation, two long stretches of sandy beach, even if only one is easily accessible by road. In some places the road is unpaved, especially the road leading to the village of Nivice. For this reason, many of the locals prefer to arrive by sea, perhaps on one of the small boats that leave from Port Emma.

- Why isnt the cost of GoGreen built into rates?
- Why does alternative energy typically cost more?
- What are alternative energy sources and how do they benefit the environment?
- Why is Duke Energy offering GoGreen?
- Does Duke Energy profit from GoGreen?
- What else is Duke Energy doing to support the environment?
Q. How much does it cost me to participate in the GoGreen program?
A. As a Duke Energy customer, you can purchase units of green product. Each unit is equal to 100 kilowatt-hours (kwh) and costs $1.00 a month. GoGreen has a two unit minimum purchase equaling $2 a month. You may find your current monthly usage on the right, middle side of your bill under the section titled, Usage.
Q. What do I get for the additional cost?
A. Signing up for GoGreen shows that you are concerned enough about improving the environment to participate in a voluntary program. GoGreen gives you the opportunity to take an active role in helping to preserve the environment for your children and your grandchildren.
Q. How can my participation make a difference for the environment?
A. Your personal commitment makes a difference! Every unit of GoGreen product purchased supports the use of alternative energy sources, thereby reducing the dependence on fossil fuels to generate energy. The environmental benefit of each $2.00 monthly purchase is about the same as not driving a car 500 miles.
Q. Will renewable electricity come directly to my home?
A. Regardless of your actual monthly electricity usage, your participation in GoGreen ensures that a specified amount of electricity is produced from renewable energy sources. The energy you support is delivered directly onto the electric system, reducing the need for energy from fossil fuel sources like oil and coal. Although buying GoGreen product does not mean that green power is being delivered straight from the source to your home, it does mean that more of the electricity being put onto the electric system comes from alternative generation sources rather than traditional generation.
Q. How will my money be used? What types of renewable resources am I supporting through GoGreen participation?
A. The money from this program will be used to cover the expense of the acquisition of renewable energy certificates (RECs) and the programs marketing and administration expense. Duke Energy will work to purchase RECs from qualified renewable sources located within your service area as they become available. However, Duke Energy may purchase RECs from outside your service area if local RECs are not available.
Q. What is a renewable energy certificate (REC) and how does it benefit the environment?
A. A REC is a tradable instrument that represents the environmental attributes of electricity generated from renewable energy. These attributes are separated from the electricity commodity, allowing the attributes and the actual electricity to be traded separately. The additional value of the REC allows the project developer to charge more for the power produced from renewable sources, since green power typically costs more than traditional power. This extra value helps the economics of renewable projects, and allows more projects to be developed.
Q. Does my GoGreen purchase price include taxes?
A. No. The GoGreen price of $1.00 per 100 kwhs does not include taxes. Taxes will be calculated separately on your bill.
Q. How many units of GoGreen product can I buy?
A. After the minimum two-unit purchase of 200 kwhs, you can purchase as many additional 100 kwh units of GoGreen product as you like.
Q. What if Im already enrolled in Budget Billing?
A. Signing up for GoGreen will not interfere with Budget Billing. Your GoGreen purchase will simply be added to your monthly billing amount.
Q. How do I ensure the money goes toward the program?
A. Customers will receive annual reports specifying the sales of the program, location of the source of power and amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) offset by the program. These reports may be sent to your e-mail address in order to reduce the use of paper. In addition, Duke Energy will supply annual program updates to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO).
Q. Can I add or subtract units after I have enrolled in the program?
A. To remain a participant, you must purchase at least the two unit (200 kwh) minimum GoGreen product of $2 a month. You can add or subtract additional units of GoGreen product at any time by calling 1-800-423-5401.
Q. Does the GoGreen program have a set end date?
A. Yes. GoGreen in Ohio is a pilot program through December 31, 2008. The pilot program may extend beyond 2008 based on customer acceptance and the availability of qualified REC sources.
Q. Is there a cancellation fee if I decide to leave the program?
A. Participation in GoGreen is voluntary. There are no cancellation fees. You can withdraw from the program at any time with 30 days notice.
Q. Is my GoGreen monthly amount tax deductible?
A. GoGreen is not tax deductible, because it is not a donation or contribution. The monthly GoGreen charge goes directly toward program administration and the support of alternative, energy sources.
Q. Why isnt the cost of GoGreen built into rates?
A. We recognize that the purchase of GoGreen product is not for all customers. However, many customers have expressed interest in supporting alternative, environmentally friendly energy sources. Since alternative energy is typically more expensive than fossil fuel generation, Duke Energy has chosen to introduce GoGreen as a voluntary program. Customers interested in supporting the development of clean, alternative energy sources can choose the level of commitment thats right for them without impacting the rates of non-participating customers.
Renewable Energy
Q. Why does alternative energy typically cost more?
A. Although alternative energy sources are often free, the technology used to capture the energy produced is more expensive than traditional power generation.
Renewable energy generation is still being developed nationwide. Prices vary according to availability and the type of renewable power produced. As the new technologies improve, the costs of producing electricity using renewable resources will become more competitive. An increased demand for green energy will lead to expanded production capabilities, which will ultimately lead to lower costs.
Q. What are alternative energy sources, and how do they benefit the environment?
A. Alternative energy sources are energy sources that can be replaced or grown within a relatively short period of time. Alternative sources capture their energy from existing, natural processes such as sunshine, wind, flowing water, biological processes and geothermal heat flows.
- Wind Wind energy is produced by a wind turbine with its rotating blades that harness the winds kinetic energy. Wind turbines contain generators that harness the mechanical energy from the spinning blades to generate electricity.
- Hydroelectric A hydroelectric power station utilizes water flow to power a turbine. The turbines are connected to generators that produce energy. Today, hydroelectric power generates 20 percent of the worlds electricity.
- Solar Solar energy is made by cells that convert sunlight to electricity without any moving parts. The conversion of sunlight into electricity is made possible with the special properties of semi-conducting materials.
- Coal mine methane Coal mine methane is created when coal is formed and is released when coal is mined. It is found in active and abandoned mines where it is subject to entering the atmosphere through vents (active mines) and improperly sealed vents/entrances (closed mines). The mine methane is tapped from mines and used in generators which reduces the amount that escapes into the atmosphere (methane is 21 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2).
- Landfill gas More than 50 percent of the waste we generate ends up in landfills where it decomposes and produces landfill gas. Landfill gas is approximately 50 percent methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate change and 45 percent carbon dioxide. Methane is a renewable energy source that can be collected and used to fuel electric generators. At large landfills, the gas must be burned anyway in order to reduce the hazards arising from gas buildup. This method of producing renewable energy is regarded as one of the most successful.
- Biomass Biomass is produced when organic wastes, such as trees, wood waste and agricultural residues decay. Landfills offer a primary source of biomass. It can be converted to fuel through combustion for the generation of electricity.
Q. Why is Duke Energy offering GoGreen?
A. At Duke Energy, we are committed to the environment and to minimizing the environmental impacts of fossil fuel generation. We recognize that we can help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and improve the quality of life in our communities by investing in renewable alternative energy sources and new alternative energy technologies.
Q. Does Duke Energy profit from GoGreen?
A. Duke Energy does not profit from GoGreen. Monies paid to participate in the program go directly toward the purchase of renewable energy certificates and program administration.
Q. What is Duke Energy doing to support the environment?
A. Reducing carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas:
Duke Energy was the first utility to publicly announce its voluntary Greenhouse Gas (GHG) management goal for our Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky operations. Our goal is to reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions 5 percent below the 2000 levels by 2010 and maintain those levels of emissions between 2010 through 2012. In addition, we have pledged to spend $21 million between 2004 and 2010 to begin the process of reducing our GHG emissions.
Through our voluntary program to offset greenhouse gases, we are making progress in reducing air emissions. In 2005, we implemented 15 carbon dioxide (CO2) projects to reduce our emissions by 236,000 tons of CO2. This is in addition to our CO2 reduction of 343,000 tons in 2004.
Investing in new technologies:
We are working with General Electric and the Bechtel Corporation to explore new technologies, such as coal gasification that could potentially reduce our coal use and reduce air emissions. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants turn coal to gas, removing most of the sulfur dioxide and other emissions before the gas is used to fuel a combustion turbine. The hot exhaust gasses are then used to heat steam, driving a steam turbine generator. This technology uses less water and has fewer emissions than a conventional coal-fired plant with required pollution-control equipment. It has the potential to remove mercury and CO2 upstream of the combustion process at a lower cost than conventional plants. And in the future, coal gasification may offer fuel flexibility, handling not only coal but also biomass and perhaps municipal waste.

Table of Contents - February 2013 - Volume 25, Special Issue 01 (Gene–Environment Correlation in Developmental Psychopathology)
a1 University of Western Ontario
a2 Stony Brook University
The dopamine active transporter 1 (DAT1) gene is implicated in psychopathology risk. Although the processes by which this gene exerts its effects on risk are poorly understood, a small body of research suggests that the DAT1 gene influences early emerging negative emotionality, a marker of children's psychopathology risk. As child negative emotionality evokes negative parenting practices, the DAT1 gene may also play a role in gene–environment correlations. To test this model, children (N = 365) were genotyped for the DAT1 gene and participated in standardized parent–child interaction tasks with their primary caregiver. The DAT1 gene 9-repeat variant was associated with child negative affect expressed toward the parent during parent–child interactions, and parents of children with a 9-repeat allele exhibited more hostility and lower guidance/engagement than parents of children without a 9-repeat allele. These gene–environment associations were partially mediated by child negative affect toward the parent. The findings implicate a specific polymorphism in eliciting negative parenting, suggesting that evocative associations play a role in elevating children's risk for emotional trajectories toward psychopathology risk.

Ryan told Sky Sports News that he intends to make a decision on who will replace the former Wales manager after returning from a 10-day holiday and was in confident mood regarding potential applicants.
"We have some great CVs from earlier in the season (following the departure of Dean Saunders) and I'm sure we'll get one or two more.
"We will then draw up a shortlist and make a decision. I'm hopeful we will have a manager in two weeks."
Rovers currently have just eight senior professionals tied to contracts and the primary role for the incoming manager will be to build a squad capable of competing in the npower Championship following this season's promotion from League One.

Duration Matters
A National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine-funded study looked at massage "dosing" for chronic neck pain. The 2014 study compared subjects who received 30-minute massages two or three times a week for four weeks with others who received 60-minute sessions one, two or three times a week for four weeks, plus a control group who were simply put on a wait list. Researchers found that those receiving the 30-minute sessions did not have significant benefit versus those in the control group. But those receiving the 60-minute sessions were three times more likely to have clinically meaningful improvement in neck function with two sessions a week—and five times more likely if the massages were three times a week.

Welcome to Gregorian Chant
Instruction and tutoring is available for day or residential courses in Gregorian Chant in the UK and abroad. Chant days can be tailored to the individual needs of groups and materials are supplied according to the requirements of the day and the course. Workshops are available for small, parish groups who are comparatively inexperienced in the performance of the Chant, and for more expert groups who wish to improve their singing and interpretation of the Chant. Nick is also happy to work with clergy to assist them in the singing of the Mass in either the ordinary or extraordinary form.
Examples of focus areas include:
Other specific requirements can also be discussed on an individual basis.
For further details and costs please contact Nick Gale
Ash Wednesday 2010 sees the launch of the first of three educational CDs of Gregorian Chant for use in parishes. The Chant is performed by a small group of singers from the Choir of St George's Cathedral, London, under the direction of Nick Gale. Nick is a UK-based teacher of Gregorian Chant and the Director of Music at St George's Cathedral. Volume One of Cantus Angeli, (Chants of the Ordinary,) features complete performances of seven Gregorian Masses, the Ambrosian Gloria, the Asperges and Vidi Aquam, three Credos and a selection of alleluias with verses. The singers are chosen for the simplicity of their tone and the acoustic for its gentle resonance; the consequent clarity and simplicity of the performance makes the Chant accessible to the average parish and gives the CD a more pedagogical focus than most similar productions.

Past Exhibitions: 2001
Mark Rothko and the Lure of the Figure: Paintings 1933-1946
December 16, 2000 - February 25, 2001
This exhibition explores a little-known aspect of the work of the American master Mark Rothko (1903-70) - his figurative works of the 1930s and 40s. In these enigmatic and disturbing paintings, the artist explored the human figure as a vehicle for expressing his deepest feelings about the human condition. These works were the proving ground for Rothko's classic paintings of the 1950s and 60s, contributing to his eventual mastery of tensely balanced areas of color, as well as the ability to communicate profound emotion and experience economically through abstract means.
Rothko was one of many New York artists in the 1930s who looked to their urban surroundings for subjects. While other artists used the urban setting to make social statements, Rothko sought instead to give a sense of the anxiety, anonymity, and isolation that pervade city life.
With the coming of the Second World War Rothko turned from the contemporary world, seeking instead to paint what he and fellow artist Adolph Gottlieb termed "timeless and tragic" subjects. Influenced by Surrealist artists exiled from fascist Europe, he and other artists including Gottlieb began to reflect Surrealists' interest in myth, fantasy, and ritual. Rothko mutilated the figure, presenting fragmented or fused bodies and reducing and abstracting figures so that they became symbols of the human condition.
Subsequent paintings feature fantastic organisms skimming across layered surfaces. As Rothko increasingly abstracted his figures, he seemed to become more and more interested in revealing the process of painting by layering paint and manipulating the surface of the work. By about 1946, the artist recognized that the figure no longer expressed what he wished to say about the human condition. Instead, he invented compositions at the borders of abstraction and figuration. These transitional paintings anticipate Rothko's purely abstract approach that he adopted by 1947, in which he considered amorphous color patches as "performers" in dramas.
The fifteen works in this exhibition have been selected from two distinguished collections which are particularly rich in works from the 30s and 40s - that of the artist's son, University of Michigan alumnus Dr. Christopher Rothko, and that of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This exhibition has been made possible in part through the Friends of the Museum of Art.

"Coaching" is a term that is all the rage in the business community and across the Christian church. It can refer to different practices depending on its context and usage. Most coaching in the church entails coaching leaders to improve their performance. Because the church is a system, a change in any part of the system affects every other part of the system. The simplest way to improve the way your church organization works to accomplishing its mission is to make its leadership more effective. Leadership is the key to effective ministry. Rick Warren has said,"If you want to know the temperature of your organization, put a thermometer in the leader's mouth." No one in your church will be more committed, focused and enthusiastic than your designated leaders. It makes sense, then, to put significant resources into supporting the health and vitality of your leaders.
Continuing education is one place to do this, but more is needed. Leaders need the an objective person to walk along side them who understands the context of the leader's work but is not a part of that context, who demands a clear delineation of the plans the leader has for the future, and who asks the difficult questions when those plans are not unfolding on schedule. Such is the role of coaching in church life.
Sometimes a leader needs a mentor; someone who has experience and wisdom in similar circumstances who can share best practices and warn of potential pitfalls. But the coach is not a mentor. The coach is not there to bring expertise to the leader, but rather to help the leader bring his or her own knowledge and skills to bear most effectively.
Sometimes a leader needs consultant to do an objective evaluation of the operation of various systems in the leader's organization and to prescribe remedies for those places where there is dysfunction. The coach is not a consultant. The coach is there to hold the leader accountable to the stated plan, not to offer a new plan.
Sometimes a leader needs a counselor to give emotional support and direction. It is easy to lose one's self in the complexities of ministry and a wise counselor can help us balance our lives. But this is not the coaching role, for the coach is focused outcomes, not on the intricacies of emotional life except to note when performance is being impaired.
Sometimes leaders needs a spiritual director to help with the forward momentum of their spiritual development. But even though the coach may be keenly interested in realization of spiritual development goals as laid out as a plan for the church, the personal spiritual development of the leader is outside the scope of the coaching relationship, except insofar as it helps or hinders progress toward realizing the vision for the church.
The coaching role therefore is unique and limited; an aid to the discipline of leadership, and a way to help leaders stay on top of their game. When you are thinking of all the ways you can help your leaders be effective, do not leave out this simple but important tool. It has the potential of turning your good leader into a great leader.
