An autopsy performed Saturday determined that a man found dead in a house in the 2400 block of Waterloo Road is a homicide victim.
Authorities said 20-year-old Jorge Eguiluz was found dead Friday night by San Joaquin Sheriff's deputies with a gunshot wound to his head.
Officials with the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said a person wearing dark clothing and a hooded sweatshirt walked into a restaurant and handed an employee a note suggesting that someone call the police and have a house on Waterloo Road searched.
Detectives took over the investigation and said there were no signs of forced entry or theft.
Individuals with information can contact the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office at 209-468-4400.

Jim Caldwell and the Indianapolis Colts kept their playoff hopes alive, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-24 in thrilling fashion.
The Jaguars came within three with 1:54 remaining but were unsuccessful converting an onside kick, which was returned for a touchdown by Tyjuan Hagler for 41-yards and the touchdown, putting the Colts up for good, 34-24.
The Colts needed the victory to gain a game on the Jaguars and put their destiny in their own hands. If Indy wins out, they win the AFC South and will host a first round playoff game.
The ball is in the Colts' court and with games at Oakland and at home against the Titans, Indianapolis will need to take the same determined approach into each of the final two contests, as they did today against Jacksonville.
Peyton Manning threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns on 29-of-39 passing. Donald Brown rushed for 129 yards, a career and season-high, which included a 43-yard touchdown run. Austin Collie, before leaving the game with another concussion, caught eight passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns.
David Garrard threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns on 24-of-38 passing. Maurice Jones-Drew only gained 46 yards on 15 carries and had two catches for 22 yards. The Jags' leading receiver was running back Rashad Jennings who caught seven passes for 64 yards. Mike Sims-Walker chipped in with four catches for 44 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jaguars will host the Washington Redskins next week and play the Houston Texans in week 17.

Education in 2030: Open source and community-based | Opensource.com
Education in 2030: Open source and community-based
I'd like to talk about what education is going to look like 20 years from now. I think, in 2030, our schools will mimic open source communities.
Look at any of the major open source projects: Fedora, Mozilla, even Python. Take a good look. Those are your CS departments, technical writing programs, software engineering, and IT departments of the future. In some places, those are the technical studies of today. Now imagine that extended to other disciplines. Art school. Film school. Veterinary school. The little hallway on the side where people study Classical Greek Poetry. What are those going to look like?
Let's start at the beginning of education: admissions. Despite having successfully applied to three schools by now (a magnet high school, college, and now my first PhD), I never did understand the admissions process. Schools ask you to prove your potential before they deem you worthy of access to their hallowed halls. Trouble is, I'm still not sure what makes solving algebra problems on the SAT a relevant predictor of your future as a dental professional, or what relation your grade in AP History has to your success as a lawyer. I've asked older industry colleagues, and guess what? They've never had a meeting where a customer walked in, asked if they had #2 pencils, then asked them to "prove the Pythagorean Theorem, and we'll give you the contract."
I'm told these scores and tests and things correlate to important stuff like intelligence and drive. But why give kids toy problems just to show intelligence and drive? You don't hire people to solve toy problems; you hire them to solve real ones. Maybe solving toy problems is an okay predictor of how well you can solve real ones. I'd argue that solving real problems is a way better predictor of how well you can solve real problems.
That's why I dove into open source; it feels good to make a difference somewhere other than a gradebook. And in open source communities, it's not assumed you can make a difference--it's expected that you will.
Open source communities believe that potential is only proven when it's used. In the open source world, you don't prove you could do something; you go do it, and the doing proves you've done it. The resources to learn and do the work are available to you before you even ask for them.
There's no admissions process for people, only for the work. It's an abundance mentality. What does it cost the community to let you try? The responsibility for your learning rests in your own hands; people can and often will help you, but they're not obligated to. The content and the code, and oftentimes the tools, are free; the time you're spending is your own.
When a resource is scarce and expensive, it makes sense to control access to it. You don't want to waste it. But data, information, and the tools for learning, experimenting, and exploring–those things are no longer scarce and expensive. We do not have to memorize oral traditions, or copy scrolls longhand, or even haul encyclopedias from town to town. We can, but we don't have to in order to access and transfer that information. A thumbdrive is a far better data transfer device than the human skull (does your brain support up to 127 hot-swappable devices at 480 megabits per second?) and I can write a Python script that queries semantic databases faster than I can recall the lists of lists in Wikipedia. The information revolution happened--or at least the technology part did. Now we're scrambling to get our thinking and teaching—our processes--to catch up.
Teachers are no longer a bottleneck, the sole providers of information. This doesn't make them obsolete--it makes them far more important as the guides who'll help us make sense of the wealth of data that's available to us. Now that schools and libraries aren't the only places you can find high-quality learning materials, they change from gathering-places for information to gathering places for learners.
But learning can—and does—happen outside the teacher-student relationship. It always did, but not at the speed, or depth, or breadth of today. And why would we even want to say who can and can't learn something? If tools and knowledge are open and freely accessible, like in open source communities, it doesn't cost us anything to let them try. It's an abundance mentality. When you stop worrying about running out of resources, you can actually start caring about people.
And you know what? Some people will fail. I hope they fail. That's how you learn. The vast expanse of information people are exposed to today is rife with wrongness, bad science, and blindingly incorrect facts. And that's ok. It teaches us to be good critics, to evaluate the data we get, and determine whether it is reasonable or not. To verify our sources. This is a critical skill in the information age.
And the thing is, open source communities have found ways to let people fail over and over again. To allow mistakes to be made. They learn together from these errors—even repeated ones--and when they do succeed, the effort is stronger for the mistakes that have been addressed. I'd like to see more schools and companies allow more people of all sorts to do the same.

great article !!
Really this idea should be implemented by all the universities around the globe.
one more thing school and colleges are not only making your professional life but it also teaches you how to live in the society.
about your culture , religion and freedom and making the building blocks of life.
We are seeing a rise in sharing resources between universities and schools, educational websites for sharing experiences and social media connecting students and teachers alike - all demonstrate a gradual shift to a more open and flexible approach to education. In the future I can imagine students signing up for some of their courses to be online only, using material from a school hundreds (or thousands) of miles away and video conference tutor sessions. No reason why a student in the UK cannot attend a local university for 80% of his classes and the other 20% coming from Stanford, Cambridge or NYU
Undergraduate admissions is currently an unopenable black box to college faculty, with the exception of programs that require portfolio review :-)
Your point about the proliferation of information and the resultant change this will bring about in the student teacher relationship and self-directed learning should be put on billboards.

great article and ideas. The tools are there now to open source education but it seems the 'education systems' feels threaten by those possibilities you describe.
Just saw on PBS newshour about the education Bubble and the college administrator are definitely in a denial mode rather than a proactive let get it done mode. Really, how long would it take all the University to sit down and open source education with the resources they have?
Nice opinion.

Therapy, counseling and life
Of all Dr. Breggin's books, The Heart of Being Helpful most directly addresses his approach to therapy. Sample chapters are included in this section. The final chapter of Brain-Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry describes the principles of effective therapy or counseling and the final chapter of Medication Madness describes "Principles of Life" for effective living. Most of Dr. Breggin's books have extensive discussions of non-drug approaches to children, adults and families. The articles here deal directly with therapy and life.

Even when we don't realize it, the Psycho-Pharmaceutical Complex can influence some of our most basic therapeutic decisions. For many psychotherapists, it has created an atmosphere of fear around using conversation as the only form of therapy with more difficult or disturbed patients. It has generated confusion and doubt about the origins of moral and psychosocial problems. [...]

fund manager and former star hockey player at Harvard
University Philip Falcone revealed in a regulatory filing
on Tuesday that he had taken
a 9.48 percent stake (16 million shares) in mobile
handset maker Palm. Falcone is known as an activist investor
with his share of ups and downs. In 2007 he became famous when
he bet against subprime mortgages and his funded doubled. In
2008, he reportedly posted a double digit loss after betting wrong on
oil prices and being unable to short sell certain stocks thanks to
new laws. In 2009, though, he recouped posting a 45 percent
gain.After the announcement of Falcone's stake, Palm share
jumped 10 percent, then settled down to a gain of 3.1 percent.Palm
can use all the help it can get. Its stock is in shambles and
it has a huge backlog of unsold handsets, which took take over a year
to sell. Palm's production is currently halted and there's no
new handsets known to be in store for the second half of the
year.The company is resorting to fire
sale tactics on the Verizon network, selling its Pre Plus
smart phones at two for $49.99 and its Pixi Plus smart phones at two
for $29.99 thanks to a price drop and Verizon's "Buy One Get
One" promotion. More incredibly, on Amazon.com you can get
a single Pre Plus handset for
$0.01 (the phone retails without contract for $699.99).
That phone also comes with free 3G hotspot capabilities (as do all
Palm smart phones on Verizon's network).Palm CEO Jon
Rubinstein remains
optimistic that the company will pull through this tough
time. The company has $590M USD in cash to weather the storm.
That cash also makes it an attractive acquisition target.
There's been rumors that Palm is looking to sell
itself to the highest bidder and that HTC was among the
interested parties.Palm currently sits in fifth place on the
smartphone market, behind Google, Microsoft, Apple and Research in
quote: This is a pure hedging (pun intended) strategy wherein the firm expects the firm to be acquired. It probably has access to some insider information, so it'll short the acquirer's stock, netting the spread between Palm's then magnified stock price and the acquirer's discounted stock.
quote: That cash also makes it an attractive acquisition target. There's been rumors that Palm is looking to sell itself to the highest bidder and that HTC was among the interested parties.

Josetta is a princess of one of the Five Families. But she is far from the throne, so she is free to spend her days working in the poorest sections of the city.
Rafe Adova lives the life of a career gambler in those slums. He has no real ambition—until the night he helps a girl named Corene, who looks like she's stumbled into the wrong bar.
Josetta is fascinated by the man who has helped her sister. Rafe is unlike anyone she's encountered—someone seemingly devoid of elemental blessings.
Rafe is also drawn to Josetta, but when he is assaulted by foreign mercenaries and they discover the reason behind the attack, Rafe and Josetta realize that the truth could endanger not only their newfound love, but also their very lives…
"Shinn is a master of world-building, plotting, and characterization."—Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author
"Well, when I pick up one of Ms. Shinn's [novels] I can't read just one, because I can't stand to leave the magical world she creates or the multi-faceted characters."—Heroes and Heartbreakers
"Readers will be delighted with this return to Shinn's elemental universe…The line of succession for the kingdom of Welce continues to be extraordinarily complicated, which makes for varied, shifting alliances. When it comes to vividly layered characters and detailed world building, Shinn is a master at her craft."—RT Book Reviews
My new book Royal Airs, like Troubled Waters before it, takes place in the world of Welce, where everyone is born with an affiliation for one of the elements of air, water, earth, fire, or wood. The five elements correspond with physical realms as well—water correlates with blood, air with spirit, earth with flesh, wood with bone, and fire with mind. These elemental affiliations tend to shape people's personalities and have some bearing on the life choices they make.
For instance, a man who is coru—ruled by blood and water—is often impetuous, fluid, and quick to change course. He might take a job as a sailor or a surgeon. A woman who is elay, a creature of air and spirit, might be ethereal, dreamy, and often lost in thought. She's likely to be a reformer, a crusader, or a visionary.
Royal Airs takes place five years after the tumultuous events that capped the story of Troubled Waters. In particular, it follows Princess Josetta, who had been considered the leading heir for the throne until several of the old king's secrets were revealed. Since she's no longer directly in line for the crown, she's trying to figure out what to do with her life. She'd always been diffident and uneasy at court, and now she wants to live a life that's filled with meaning and true to her elay heritage. So she's moved to the slums to open a homeless shelter that provides a haven for people who are desperate and abandoned. And she won't be dissuaded from following her passion, even when the regent wants her to give up the shelter. Even when she falls in love with an intriguing stranger named Rafe who appears to have no elemental affiliations at all.
It was fun to build characters around the five elements and find ways to make them share certain traits will still retaining distinct personalities. Royal Airs features two major elay characters and one minor one, but they're radically different from each other. Josetta is quiet, focused, tolerant, and kind; she draws strength from the idea that she is doing good in the world. By contrast, the powerful, aging queen Elidon is elay in a way that "hardly shows," as someone else comments. She's not particularly spiritual or ethereal, but she isa visionary. Like a great athlete, she can see the whole playing field and determine which moves will result in the outcome she wants; she's a master strategist who never takes her eyes off the prize.
But my favorite elay character to write about is Kayle Dochenza. He appears briefly in Troubled Waters as head of the Dochenza clan, but he's mostly known as a sort of mad inventor. Welce is on the cusp of industrialization, and Kayle is leading the charge. He's built the first "elaymotives"—automobile prototypes that run on the airy element of natural gas—and now he's experimenting with flying machines. He's contrary, peculiar, and perpetually distracted, until something catches his wayward attention and he becomes uncomfortably focused. Kayle's the first one who suspects Rafe's true identity and he is instrumental in changing Rafe's life. Which helps turn Josetta's life in a wholly unexpected direction…

The Wando Advanced Robotics (WAR) FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team #4533 finished the robotics season on March 2 at the FIRST Robotics Palmetto Regional Competition in Myrtle Beach.
Representing Wando High School, the team spent six weeks designing, building and programming a large robot which could block opponents from firing Frisbees into goals and pull itself onto the bottom rung of a three-tier pyramid.
With its defensive strategy, WAR was officially ranked 42nd out of the 65 teams which participated in the regional. Even though they won no awards and were not able to proceed to the championship competition, WAR is not done with the school year just yet.
They intend to continue to upgrade their robot, named "The Chief," and take it to local FIRST Lego League teams to get elementary and middle school teams excited about Wando robotics and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
And there is a lot to look forward to as the team prepares for the coming school years. Now that the team has had experience in being a team, WAR is certain that they will be better prepared for next year.
Reviewing their work, WAR has volunteered at multiple local schools, lent a hand to Habitat for Humanity, promoted engineering at a Stingrays hockey game, put together a fully-functioning robot and most of all, got roughly 40 high school teenagers to accomplish something big.
WAR will start from scratch next year, with a new robot and new ideas.

Here are some basic tips for best use of your greywater system during a drought or under regular conditions:
During a drought, a greywater reuse system could be an excellent way to maximize water use efficiency in your home and keep precious plants and trees alive. Although other drought actions taken inside the home (such as reduced showering) could reduce greywater flows a little, the greywater will still be a valuable resource. During a severe drought, your neighbors will be envious of your thriving greywater-fed landscape as their lawn and shrubs wither and turn brown for lack of water.

A Brookfield school expects to reopen Tuesday after a water main break led to an early dismissal Monday.
Students at St. Dominic Catholic School were let out more than three hours early.
The principal said they had water until around 8:30 a.m., but then it went away.
"We knew relatively early enough to be able to inform all of our parents by email and phone call if we knew that they were not receiving emails throughout the day today. A lot of our parents have been sharing the information via Facebook as well," Principal Jill Fischer said.
Fischer said it was a water main that leads to campus.
WISN 12 News spotted work crews along Capitol Drive on the edge of the school grounds.

West Virginia is on the brink of enjoying a true two-party system of government. After decades in which the Capitol was run by Democrats, with an occasional Republican governor thrown in for appearances, things are changing.
Competition improves virtually everything, and government is no exception. Look around at states dominated for many years by one party, then at those where the balance of power tilts back and forth from Democrat to Republican. Those with true two-party government tend to be more prosperous.
Last month I noted the Republican Party seemed to be gaining strength in our state. That wasn't mere speculation, as the general election proved on Tuesday.
Once those elected Tuesday take office in January, the state House of Delegates will have 44 Republican members. Though the 56 Democrats technically will hold power officially, that's quite a gain for the GOP. And remember, many of those House Democrats are conservative enough they'd be Republicans in most other states.
Democrats will remain in firm control of the state Senate. But on Tuesday, seven GOP Senate candidates won. There are only six Republicans in the Senate now. Add Tuesday's winners to GOP senators now up for re-election and, by my count, there should be 10 from that party and 24 Democrats.
Democrat Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin won on Tuesday, but with slightly less than half the vote (49.97 percent). Republican challenger Bill Maloney managed to garner 46.05 percent of the vote (the remainder went to Mountain and Libertarian Party candidates). Look at Maloney's feat this way: For a Republican who had no exposure to politics just two years ago, he did quite well.
Also on Tuesday, Mountain State voters put another Republican, Allen Loughry, on the state Supreme Court. That, with Justice Brent Benjamin, makes two Republicans on the five-member court.
And think about this: Two seats on the court were on the Tuesday ballot. Incumbent Justice Robin Davis won one, with Loughry taking the other. But Letitia Chafin, the other Democrat running, came in fourth, behind Republican John Yoder.
Two incumbent members of the House of Representatives, David McKinley of the 1st District and Shelley Capito of the 2nd, won re-election handily.
So did a Democrat, Nick Rahall of the 3rd District - but his Republican challenger, Rick Snuffer, finished less than 10 points behind him. Rahall once owned the 3rd District. Yet during the past five elections, his margin of victory has declined steadily.
Finally, one of the most powerful Democrats to hold office in West Virginia for many years, Attorney General Darrell McGraw, was beaten Tuesday. Come January, Republican Patrick Morrisey will take his place.
Population shifts explain part of what's happening. As I've noted a couple of times during the past year, the Eastern Panhandle may well become the most politically powerful region in the state soon. And it is chock-full of Republicans.
The Democrat Party's stronghold in southern West Virginia is losing people. Rahall's 3rd Congressional District is growing smaller - and it is growing less loyal to the Democrat Party. Again, look at the change in Rahall's power.
In 2004, Rahall won re-election with nearly two-thirds of the vote. He tallied 142,682 votes to Republican opponent Rick Snuffer's 76,170.
Yes, that Rick Snuffer - the same one who, on Tuesday, received 55,031 votes to Rahall's 65,514.
Here in northern West Virginia, we understand that kind of shift. The 1st Congressional District once was a possession of the Mollohan family - Robert, then Alan. No more.
Republicans made the most impressive gains during recent memory in the Tuesday election. West Virginia truly is moving toward being a two-party state - and that can only be good for us.

MINNEAPOLIS - In his short tenure as Penn State's head coach and his even shorter tenure as the Nittany Lions' quarterback, we've seen some of the impressive chemistry Bill O'Brien and Christian Hackenberg have already formed.
Overtime victories over Michigan and Illinois are exhibits A and B.
Saturday, though, in a 24-10 loss we saw the inevitable growing pains from the young tandem as Hackenberg's fumble at the Minnesota 1-yard-line in the fourth quarter cost the Lions mightily, and O'Brien's impatience hurt their red-zone offense.
The combination added up to Penn State being shut out in the second half against a game opponent but one that is not two touchdowns better than the Lions.
O'Brien, as he often does after defeats, shouldered the blame and pledged to do a better job with the Lions (5-4) now facing the possibility of a 6-6 record.
"We got to coach them better, and we have to do a better job," O'Brien said.
"We have to make sure we put them in better positions to make plays."
Down 17-7 late in the second quarter because, once again, the Lions' defense was springing too many leaks, especially against the pass, Penn State faced a fourth-and-2 at the Minnesota 10-yard line.
The Gophers had been unable to stop Penn State's run to this point, especially Zach Zwinak, and a touchdown there would ultimately prove to be the Lions' best chance to seize momentum and pull within a field goal.
After a Minnesota timeout, O'Brien changed his mind and settled for a 27-yard Sam Ficken field goal to cut the lead to 17-10.
"It was fourth-and-2, not fourth-and-1 [initial call], and I felt coming away with some points was the big thing there," O'Brien said.
In that instance, O'Brien showed patience, but after his defense settled down and made adjustments after halftime, pitching a second-half shutout of its own, the Lion offense tried to rely on red-zone passing, and it didn't work.
At the Minnesota 39 early in the fourth quarter, Hackenberg tried to hit Brandon Felder twice and then seldom-used Matt Zanellato, and when the Nits moved to the Gophers' 16 with 10 minutes to play, still down 24-10 but not out of it, O'Brien called four-straight passes that fell incomplete.
"I felt we could run the ball," he said of his game strategy that did work since Zwinak and Bill Belton combined 197 yards on 30 carries (6.5 per try).
But then he felt he needed quicker scores in the fourth quarter and got away from the run.
"We when it got to a point in time when it was 24-10, we thought we had to throw it," he said.
They could have continued to mush Zwinak there, and after forcing a punt and taking over at its 39, Penn State mixed it up and moved to the Gopher 1 before Hackenberg fumbled with 6:40 to play.
O'Brien was clearly annoyed after the game, and made no players available for comment. He pledged to "do everything as a coaching staff to make sure the seniors go out as winners."
With an unpredictable defense and an offense that has now struggled in three straight games and clearly lacks an identity, that will be difficult.

Rob Ochier's Columbian soccer team is giving him just what he wants in the early going.
"They're playing very well as a team; guys are playing well," he said. "Good start to the season."
The Tornadoes game with Ontario at Frost-Kalnow Stadium Saturday was scoreless for the first 25 minutes.
But when Mike Brady converted a pass from Spencer Pauley into the game's first goal, it started Columbian's momentum, which built into a 6-2 victory.
Nathaniel Gilmer added two goals, while Garrett Bean added a goal and two assists. Paul also scored, as did Kevin Miller.
The Tornadoes also got assists from Brady and Hunter Stark in improving to 3-0.
Ontario's goals came from Steven Toth and Eric Klimczynski.
Columbian out-shot the Warriors 21-13. In goal, Josh Gibson had six saves, while Eric Schermer had three.
Austin Fraley had nine saves for Ontario.
Mohawk girls tie Crestview
SYCAMORE - Cambria Kohlenberg got a pass from Beth Dundore in the 12th minute, converting it into Mohawk's only goal in a 1-1 tie with Ashland Crestview.
The Cougars scored their lone goal 10 minutes later, when Abby Motter connected on an unassisted score.
Ally Weinandy had nine saves in goal, while Crestview's Madison Glaze had three. The Cougars out-shot Mohawk 10-4.
Each team moved to 0-1-1.
"This is a great sign," said Mohawk coach Joel Wilkins. "I think we may be farther along than we were last year. Everyone's starting to grasp the concept of the play I expect."

Maybe Harold meant that a change of scenery, and an attitude adjustment by playing in Detroit alongside a fellow Russian with a great attitude, solid work ethic, and a plethora of talent would get the most outta Semin,,,Instead of a 60 to 70 pts guy - Semin becomes a 85 plus pts guy in the Motor City?
Of course it could go bad. But no one is even interested or excited at the possibility of Semin on Datsyuk's wing?
I wasn't dying for Semin to be a Wing, I'm just a little surprised Holland wasn't even interested. Like I said, I'm hoping it's because he still has a trick or two up his sleeve.

As the 2011 NBA Draft approaches, so does the 2011 Mock NBA Draft, as speculation and rumors become less fantasy and more of a reality as teams and potential draftees see their futures unfold as the draft gets closer.
The NBA Draft is an exhibition in last minute decisions as teams invite players to last minute workouts and entertain ideas of trading current players or future picks all in the hopes of landing that potential superstar or missing piece to their on the brink of contention team.
This year is no exception, as players throughout the 2011 NBA Draft are seeing their stocks rise or fall even within next few hours and even up to the final few minutes as the teams make their choice.
Not even the top ten first round picks are set in stone, as news of contract buyouts or lingering injuries have either helped or hurt a players stock.
So while Turkish big man Enes Kanter have enjoyed a boost to their stock due to a good showing, guys like Kemba Walker have been bumped down due to potential trades or rival draftees making better impressions.
Here's a look at the first round picks as of today.

Songwriter Ana Egge has an unusual "official" artist's bio. The brief outline posted on her website forgoes the usual "Artist X is the greatest thing to happen to music since Lennon met McCartney" type of hyperbole, instead focusing on Egge's nonmusical qualities – in this instance, compassion, wit, grace and the ability to tell stories in song "from the heart with humor and humanity."
These are, of course, essential qualities for a songwriter wishing to capture the deeply human struggles of ordinary lives in songs that might, in some fashion, celebrate those struggles. Egge's last album, the Steve Earle-produced "Bad Blood," is packed with such compassionate observations, and is one of the finest roots-based collections released over the past several years.
Egge is on the road in support of the album, and her journey pauses for a show at 5 p.m. Sunday in the Sportsmen's Tavern (326 Amherst St.). Tickets are $10. Visit www.sportsmenstavern.com.

At his Love and Other Drugs press conference on Saturday at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan, Jake Gyllenhaal dodged a question from a PEOPLE reporter about his relationship with Taylor Swift. And he wasn't alone in that pursuit.
Asked what's going on between the actor and the country star, Gyllenhaal's Love costar Anne Hathaway quickly interjected, mock-shouting at the reporter who inquired (seemingly in order to save her friend).
As an uncomfortable-looking Gyllenhaal kept silent, Hathaway yelled, "Hang on, hang on, I have to say something! I have been Jake's onscreen love interest for years, all right? You keep the conversation to me and only me, otherwise I'm going to get nasty!"
Gyllenhaal simply quipped, "You get Ella Enchanted pissed off ..." (Swift similarly avoided questions about her rumored beau on Ellen DeGeneres last month.)
Meanwhile, if Swift was also in New York City over the weekend, and if the pair did meet up again, they did a good job of keeping it under wraps. She was in Nashville Sunday to rehearse for the CMA Awards.
Tell us: When they are ready to go public, what should be Jake and Taylor's cutesy combined moniker?

Swiss Finance Institute Research Paper No. 11-64
Contrary to what traditional asset pricing would imply, a strategy that bets against beta, by going long in low beta stocks and short in high beta stocks, tends to outperform the market. We consider a market in which diversity is maintained, i.e. no single stock can dominate the entire market, and we show that beta-arbitrage strategies mechanically out-perform the market portfolio. We provide empirical support to our explanation on equity country indices, equity sectors, individual stocks, and stock portfolios. Finally, we show how to construct optimal beta- arbitrage strategies that maximize the expected return relative to a given benchmark.

Waikiki Hotel Employees Hit Union Officials with Federal Charges for Illegally Seizing Dues
UNITE HERE Local 5 union officials have an ugly history of violating the rights of the workers they claim to represent
Honolulu, HI (April 30, 2014) – With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, a group of Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa employees have filed federal unfair labor practice charges against the UNITE HERE Local 5 union.
Honolulu Hyatt employees Mark Tamosiunas, Wayne Young, Steven Taono, and Agnes Demarke filed the charges late last week with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Starting around June 30, 2010, the monopoly bargaining agreement between UNITE HERE Local 5 union officials and Hyatt management expired. While the contract was no longer in effect, the workers resigned their union membership and exercised their right to refrain from union dues payments.
However, UNITE HERE Local 5 union officials are now charging the workers for union dues and fees from June 2012 to August 2013, even though no union monopoly bargaining agreement requiring workers to pay union dues or fees was in effect.

(New York, New York, Jan. 18, 2011)—The National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus has recommended that The Sherwin-Williams Company, maker of the 'Harmony' line of paints, modify or discontinue advertising claims that the 'Harmony' paint line is completely free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Benjamin Moore challenged the express claims:
NAD also reviewed the implied claim that the full line of Sherwin-Williams Harmony paints, including base paint and paint containing color, contain no VOCs.
VOCs are defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as "any compound of carbon,excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate, which participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions." For purposes of this challenge only, both parties agreed that a "zero VOC" or "no VOC" claim is substantiated if the VOC content of the paint contains less than 5.0 grams per liter (g/L) VOC.
(Click here for full text of decision.)
In this case, NAD considered the advertiser's representation that, based on its Material Safety Data Sheets and Technical Data Sheets, certain colors in its Harmony line would exceed the 5.0 g/L VOC threshold when its "deep base" paint was mixed with conventional colorants, but the majority of the paints in its Harmony line would yield less than 5.0 g/L.
NAD also reviewed evidence that included the results of testing commissioned by the challenger on selected colors of Harmony brand paint. The results of that testing indicated that, after the addition of conventional colorants to Sherwin-Williams "deep base" paint, VOC levels ranged from 42 to 112 g/L for "Coating" VOCs (used by air quality districts to determine whether or not a paint is in compliance with the limits set by the district's rules.)
Sherwin-Williams questioned the testing and maintained that because the majority of its paints in the Harmony line fall below the 5.0 g/L (or other de minimis) threshold, its zero-VOC claims are substantiated as to its entire line of Harmony paints.
Following its review of the evidence in the record, NAD determined that the advertiser's claim of "zero-VOC" was a line claim for the full line of Harmony paints after the addition of colorants. The evidence in the record, NAD noted, "demonstrates that not all of the paint colors in the Harmony line perform as promised when Sherwin-Williams' Deep Base is mixed with conventional colorants."
NAD recommended that the claim be discontinued or modified to clearly convey to consumers that there are exceptions to the line claim by clearly and conspicuously disclosing that the addition of conventional colorants to Harmony Deep Base paint may result in higher levels of VOCs for some colors.
Sherwin-Williams, in its advertiser's statement, said the company "is disappointed that the NAD did not agree with its position that both consumers and the industry understand zero-VOC claims to pertain only to the majority of colors in a paint line, as opposed to being a 100% 'line claim.' However, out of respect for the self-regulatory process, Sherwin-Williams will accept the NAD's
decision and will take the NAD's findings into consideration in its future advertising for Harmony."
NAD's inquiry was conducted under NAD/CARU/NARB Procedures for the Voluntary Self-Regulation of National Advertising. Details of the initial inquiry, NAD's decision, and the advertiser's response will be included in the next NAD/CARU Case Report.
About Advertising Industry Self-Regulation: The National Advertising Review Council (NARC) was formed in 1971. NARC establishes the policies and procedures for the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus,
the CBBB's Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU), the National Advertising Review Board (NARB) and the Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program (ERSP).
The NARC Board of Directors is composed of representatives of the American Advertising Federation, Inc. (AAF), American
Association of Advertising Agencies, Inc., (AAAA), the Association of National Advertisers, Inc. (ANA), Council of Better
Business Bureaus, Inc. (CBBB), Direct Marketing Association (DMA), Electronic Retailing Association (ERA) and Interactive
Advertising Bureau (IAB). Its purpose is to foster truth and accuracy in national advertising through voluntary self-regulation.
NAD, CARU and ERSP are the investigative arms of the advertising industry's voluntary self-regulation program. Their
casework results from competitive challenges from other advertisers, and also from self-monitoring traditional and new
media. NARB, the appeals body, is a peer group from which ad-hoc panels are selected to adjudicate NAD/CARU cases that
are not resolved at the NAD/CARU level. This unique, self-regulatory system is funded entirely by the business community;
CARU is financed by the children's advertising industry, while NAD/NARC/NARB's primary source of funding is derived from
membership fees paid to the CBBB. ERSP's funding is derived from membership in the Electronic Retailing Association. For

For those of you looking for something
in the words of Steve Jobs, Apple will begin selling its much hyped
iPad this Saturday in its retail locations starting at 9 AM. Those
that pre-ordered the devices early from Apple's website will receive
their units by Saturday. Those that waited a while longer to
pre-order online will have to wait until April 12 for their iPads to
arrive if they don't feel like heading down to one of 221 Apple
retail stores or "most Best Buy stores" which will stock
the device.
"iPad connects users with their apps
and content in a far more intimate and fun way than ever before,"
said Jobs. "We can't wait for users to get their hands and
fingers on it this weekend."
For those that come into Apple stores
to purchase an iPad, a "free Personal Setup service" will
be made available. Apple Geniuses will help setup your email or
download apps to your iPad. Just don't expect the same service from
Best Buy without some kind of Geek
Squad fee attached.
The only units available this Saturday
will be the WiFi-only iPads. IPads which feature 3G connectivity
will not be available until later this month. The iPad features a
9.7" screen, 16GB to 64GB of NAND flash storage, a 1GHz Apple A4
ARM processor, Bluetooth 2.1, and 802.11n. Interestingly, those
wishing for a camera will have to purchase a $29
iPad Camera Connection Kit.
Wi-Fi-only iPads are priced at $499,
$599, and $699 respectively for 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models.
quote: If at some point you want to buy another brand of device—some newer, faster, cooler gadget we can't yet imagine—you won't be able to take your Apple content with you. Apple could also decide to block the applications of rival technology—as happened last year, when the company wouldn't approve Google Voice, a telecommunications application, for the iPhone.It's a dangerous path, according to Jonathan Zittrain, a professor at Harvard Law School and cofounder of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. "The price is you are giving up the freedom to choose what code you run and what content you see or experience," on a device you own, he says. "The fear is that we could be charmed by platforms that turn out to be not very good for us."Of course, bacon isn't good for us, either, but it's pretty tempting.
quote: The main thing to know about the iPad is that right now nobody, not even Steve Jobs himself, really knows how this device will be used.
quote: The few developers who did get iPads have to keep the devices in secret rooms, chained to a desk. These folks all live in fear of Apple.

Discharge Instructions for Cervical Disk Surgery
Discharge Instructions for Cervical Disk Surgery
You had cervical disk surgery. This procedure can provide relief from neck and arm pain, numbness, and weakness. There are several types of cervical disk surgery. You and your doctor decided on the type that was best for you. Below are tips to help speed your recovery from surgery.
Arrange your household to keep the items you need within reach.
Remove electrical cords, throw rugs, and anything else that may cause you to fall.
Follow your doctor's instructions for wearing a cervical collar or brace. The neck collar or brace is important because it supports and correctly positions your neck after surgery. Be sure to follow instructions for its care, use, and the length of time you must wear it.
Don't drive until your doctor says it's okay. This will most likely be when you can move your neck from side to side freely and without pain. Never drive while you are taking narcotic pain medication.
Walk as much as possible. You may also go up and down stairs as much as you can tolerate. Walking outside or walking on a treadmill at a slow speed with no incline is okay.
Don't lift anything heavier than 5 pounds.
Ask your doctor when you can return to work.
Other Home Care
Take pain medication exactly as directed.
Wait 5-7 days after your surgery to begin showering. Then shower as needed. You may be instructed to use a neck collar while you shower. If so, carefully remove it when you finish showering. Keep your neck correctly positioned as you gently pat dry your skin, the incision, and the neck collar. Then put the neck collar back on. Don't rub the incision, or apply creams or lotions to it.
Don't soak in bathtubs, hot tubs, or swimming pools until instructed by your doctor.
Your incision may have been closed using sutures, staples, or strips of tape. If you have sutures or staples, they may need to be removed 2-3 weeks after surgery. You can allow strips of tape to fall off on their own.
If you smoke, quit. Smoking slows healing of bone. Enroll in a stop-smoking program to improve your chances of success.
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff.
When to Seek Medical Attention
Call 911 right away if you have any of the following:
Otherwise, call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following:

Genzyme is paying Alnylam $22.5 million up front as part of an exclusive alliance to develop and commercialize transthyretin (TTR)-targeting RNAi therapeutics for the treatment of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR) in Japan and other Asia-Pacific territories. Alnylam aims to continue its own development and commercialization of ALN-TTR in the U.S., Europe, and globally.
ATTR is a hereditary disease that is endemic in Japan. The condition causes nervous system and heart damage, and generally leads to death at between five and 15 years. Japanese patients often carry a specific TTR mutation known as V30M, which leads to a severe form of ATTR known as familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP). Mutations in TTR cause abnormal amyloid proteins to accumulate in and damage body organs and tissues, including peripheral nerves and heart, which causes intractable peripheral sensory neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and/or cardiomyopathy.
Genzyme and Alnylam will focus on developing the latter's ALN-TTR program for FAP and other ATTR indications, including familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy (FAC) and senile systemic amyloidosis (SSA). Under terms of the agreement Alnylam will be eligible for development milestone payments, and future royalties on sales of resulting therapeutics by Genzyme in its designated countries. The firms will shoulder their own development and commercialization activities in their respective territories.
Alnylam's ALN-TTR portfolio is headed by ALN-TTR02, which is in a Phase II clinical trial, and ALN-TTRsc, a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic in late-stage preclinical development. In July the firm reported positive data from a Phase I study with ALN-TTR02 in the treatment of ATTR. The results showed that therapy led to a 94% reduction in serum TTR protein levels, even when administered just once a month. With a Phase II trial ongoing, the firm projects starting a pivotal study in 2013.
The alliance with Genzyme is part of Alnylam 5x15 strategy, launched in January 2011, which provides a pathway for developing and commercializing RNAi therapeutics against genetically defined diseases with high unmet medical need. The firm aims to have five such RNAi therapeutic programs in clinical development by the end of 2015 including both in-house and partnered programs. Key programs include ALN-TTR, ALN-APC for the treatment of hemophilia, ALN-PCS for the treatment of severe hypercholesterolemia, ALN-HPN for the treatment of refractory anemia, and ALN-TMP for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies.

There are 2.5 million weddings in the United States each year, and the weddings business is a $40 billion annual industry, including the ceremony, reception, bachelor (and bachelorette) parties and honeymoon.
Increasingly, newlyweds are opting for a cruise for a cost-effective and carefree honeymoon. About 5,000 weddings and vow renewals happen on cruises every year, and cruises now account for 15 percent of all honeymoons.
The inclusive nature of a cruise is a leading factor in the decision. A cruise provides a week of great food, pampering and entertainment for about $2,500 or less per person.
Most newlyweds say they prefer a week in a fun-and-sun destination. That makes cruises doubly attractive, since they visit several ports and offer a selection of tours.
Though the Hawaiian Islands remain the all-time favorite honeymoon destination, many newlyweds are choosing cruises in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
And there's no more romantic way to experience the wonders of the Med or Caribbean than a weeklong voyage aboard a tall ship. Star Clippers' three sailing ships only carry up to 170 or 227 guests, and visit some of the world's most exotic destinations.
Aboard Star Clippers, newlyweds can experience the luxury of a private yacht while sailing to smaller, lesser-known destinations big cruise ships can't visit.
Star Clippers' relaxed yet elegant shipboard atmosphere is the perfect antidote to months of wedding planning. Yet, the emphasis on beach time and water sports, and the array of soft-adventure excursions offered provide opportunities for couples to share new experiences as they start their life together.

A fancy, expensive, wide brimmed hat usually worn by Sandy Andretti(ex-daughter-in-law of Mario Andretti,ex-wife of Michael Andretti,mom of Marco Andretti) at IndyCar races. Similar to Kentucky Derby Hats, but sticks out like a sore thumb in the environment it is usually sighted in.
You always know you're watching an Indy 500 rerun when you see a Sandy Andretti hat in the crowd.

What's new in iOS 6.0.2
First and foremost, iOS 6.0.2 isn't for everyone. Specifically, this update is for folks with Apple's latest and greatest, the iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Further, this dot-fix only addresses only a single issue, "a bug that could impact Wi-Fi."
• iOS 6.0.2 Software Update
— Fixes a bug that could impact Wi-Fi
— Requires an iPhone 5 or iPad mini
If you have an iPhone 5 or iPad mini, get iOS 6.0.2 by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Alternately, plug a compatible iThing into your Mac and, if you have iTunes 10.7 or earlier, select it in the left sidebar, click the "Summary" tab and click "Check for Update."
Lastly, your iPhone or iPad mini has or will automatically prompt you that an update is available, just follow the onscreen directions.
So, bleeding edge Apple fans, does iOS 6.0.2 take care of wi-fi connection/reliability issues?
