BioClinica and Mirada Medical are partnering to integrate Mirada's XD3 software solution into BioClinica's imaging technology. Companies say this will enhance PET capabilities and expertise for molecular imaging trials.
After a careful evaluation of available molecular imaging solutions, BioClinica selected Mirada for its advanced image analysis capabilities and ability to handle not only PET images but CT and MRI as well. Mirada Medical's software provides tools and efficient workflows for the quantification and tracking of findings for major modalities. This will further enhance BioClinica's image registration and fusion capabilities in studies where multiple modalities are utilized.
BioClinica will integrate Mirada's XD3 image analysis software platform into its processes and workflows, adopting an innovative design that will advance the clinical capabilities of BioClinica technologies such as BioPACS and BioREAD.
Through this partnership, BioClinica's PET image processing capabilities will extend oncology clinical trials with support for the following features: enhanced capabilities for PERCIST tumor response assessment criteria; normalization of uptake by body weight, lean body mass, or body; surface area for SUV measurements; registration and fusion capabilities between PET, CT, and MR; and customizable workflow and user interface to provide flexibility in the independent read design.
"Adding Mirada technology to our oncology trial process takes BioClinica's already robust imaging core lab services to a new level," remarks Andy Dzik-Jurasz, BioClinica's senior medical director of medical affairs. "By adding XD3 to our workflow, BioClinica will offer the most sophisticated level of clinical analysis available for oncology PET scan image processing."

Re: linear register
You're supposed to tell us what you expect to happen and how that's failing to happen. You are also supposed to tell us what things like "elementi" are. You're looking at your code and can't figure it out, but you want us to do it with guesses. Nuh uh.
Re: linear register

Jacob Milberger's life turned upside down 18 months ago.
His mother's did, too.
That's when Jacob, 12, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, a disease for which there is no cure and one she says is among the most expensive chronic diseases to treat.
"It's the third most expensive chronic disease in the United States," said Jacob's mom, Darcey Frazier. "My son is insulin dependent. If he doesn't get it, he'll die."
Some mischievous, clever vandal(s) pulled a prank switching the 'Cemetery Entrance' road sign with the 'Factory Entrance' road sign on South Main Street recently. The sign in front of the cemetery now reads 'Factory Entrance' and the road sign leading to the industrial park bears the words 'Cemetery Entrance.' As of Thursday morning, it had not been changed back.

The concert is free and open to the public.
Four dilapidated homes on Woodford Street could soon be facing the wrecking ball.
The Lawrenceburg City Council on Monday received an update on the properties, which have been determined to be unsafe.
City Administrator Robbie Hume said before the meeting that city officials have spent more than two years working with the property owner, Craig Sherwood, to clean them up.
"We've been working with the property owner to do something with them, but at this point, nothing has been done in the time-frame allotted," Hume said.
Open Hands Food Pantry
Benefit Ride is July 16
The 7th Annual Open Hands Food Pantry Benefit Ride is planned for July 16 at the food pantry.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with kickstands up at 10 a.m.
Cost of the ride is a $20 donation per bike and $5 per passenger. All proceeds go toward the pantry in support of their missions.
The ride will begin and end at the food pantry located at 1111 Industry Road, Lawrenceburg.
There also will be raffles and a silent auction.
Three teens have now been charged in a string of armed robberies that occurred earlier this year in Lawrenceburg.
Ian Chilton, 18, Octavus George, 19, and Jesse Drummond, 18, have all been detained in the robberies, which featured mask-wearing suspects storming into three different convenience stores in January and stealing money and tobacco products while frightened store clerks looked on.
Chilton and George have been charged with complicity to commit first-degree robbery and both have already pleaded not guilty in Anderson Circuit Court.
A part-time courtroom security officer was fired Monday from the Anderson County Sheriff's Office for sharing a racially charged statement on his Facebook page.
Sheriff Troy Young announced the firing, emphasizing that the former employee served as a bailiff, not a deputy, only worked "two or three days a month" providing security in the Anderson County Courthouse and that the post in no way reflects the view of his office.
A prayer service for racial harmony at the Anderson County Courthouse was disrupted Monday evening when two men allegedly walked by and threw firecrackers, startling the crowd.
Cameron Allen Mayberry, 20, of 1171 Cox Lane, Lawrenceburg and William C. Richardson, 21, of #9 West Court Street/Town Terrace, Lawrenceburg were each charged with disorderly conduct after being chased down by police officers at the event.
A ribbon of walkers could be seen from Anderson County High School to Main Street last Friday evening, as people banded together to raise the awareness and prevalence of drugs here in Anderson County during a walk sponsored by HEROES (Helping Educate Reaching Out to End the Stigma).
Local leaders and law enforcement walked arm-in-arm with overdose survivors and area families affected by addiction.

He's back in East Rutherford as we speak, working out with Kiki Vandeweghe, who left the road trip to see what he's picked up while hiking through the Rockies.
The second-year center has spent the last three-plus weeks with the 14ers, ostensibly to learn some perimeter skills, and it was a mixed bag: In eight games (six starts), he averaged 9.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.88 blocks in 26 minutes per.
And unless he's miraculously added a mid-range jumper, he'll find himself in the same limbo he was in when he left on Dec. 29th. Williams had spent the entire offseason focusing on things he does well -- "get the clutter out of his game," as Vandeweghe phrased it. So they worked tirelessly on some post moves, post defense, and big-man skills -- only to reverse course and decide that he's going to have to learn a perimeter spot.
The team was pleased to see him spend most of his four-day break back in New Jersey last week -- a quirk in the 14ers' schedule -- though Williams didn't seem to know how long his D-League stint was going to last.
"Short-term, my assignment is to play in the D-League, to get better and try to stay in shape," Williams said Saturday before the Boston Massacre sequel. "Long-term, it's to better my skills and become a better basketball player, become a better defender and work on guarding more positions -- doing what I do and doing it well."

Talking about falling behind in the game and battling back:
?Yeah, it?s tough. We can?t keep digging ourselves in a hole. We can?t comeback every game obviously. We just need to do a better job of keeping it a closer game.?
On showing so much fight in the final 10 minutes compared to the rest of the game:
?They?re too good of a team to climb back into a game. Our work ethic is there, but we just need to keep working hard all the time.?

Haven't you heard? VGChartz is the last source anyone should go to for accurate numbers.
At any rate, if this is true, then good job, SEGA.
I hope Madworld eventually gets the 600,000, though. For one, Wii's install base is HUUUUGE. For two, Madworld is a respectably ambitious game that has won over critics. I think whatever Madworld ends up selling will be a telling sign of the percentage of mature Wii owners versus casual ones. If Madworld has a ho-hum performance, the mature market probably isn't there. If it sells well, then it's proof that there are enough mature Wii owners out there for future non-casual games.

Great game too, should have no problem reaching 500k.

I think 500k is a realistic number. But I don't think it will be quite as easy as some of you think to get there.

I really do hope that Madworld gets good sales. If it doesn't then it'll give developers an excuse to just pump out more minigames and give them the justification to do so as they'll be able to say that 'hardcore' games simply don't sell on the Wii.
That some people have said it was sold out in some stores is a good sign though.

Find a Nursing Degree

MSN – Community Health
Featured School
At a Glance
|Several Terms
|Financial Aid:
|Request Information
Getting a master's degree is the fastest route to qualifying for jobs with high levels of responsibility and higher salaries. If students are already a registered nurse (RN), have a master of science in nursing, or MSN, means that they are eligible for supervisory roles in a number of different healthcare settings. When students enter an MSN program, they have the ability to specialize in an area of nursing that most interests them. One of the choices is community health.
A big part of community health is education. Rather than working to educate new nurses, as students would with a teaching degree, a nurse specializing in community health works to educate the general population about health concerns. This could include training volunteers, giving presentations at schools, talking to employers about workplace safety, providing sex education for teens, running clinics in disadvantaged neighborhoods, developing government aid programs, and more.
In addition, community health is focused on disease prevention and containment of infectious conditions. So, an MSN in community health could qualify students for a job in research, emergency care, and more. In any of these roles, a MSN degree means that students can work in a supervisory position, leading a team of other RNs, LPNs, and CNAs to provide the best care and education possible. Your education prepares students to make quick decisions, use logic under pressure, deal with stress, and manage a team efficiently.
Studnets can also go on to get their doctorate, once they have their MSN, which means that they qualify for even higher-level positions in the world of nursing.

A quick news tidbit just announced by the university...
AUBURN - Dog-track owner Milton McGregor and his wife have pledged $1 million toward the new Auburn basketball arena, the school announced Thursday.
The McGregors made the gift in honor of their daughters, Kim McGregor Brown and Cindy McGregor Benefield.
"This is a tremendous step forward for the arena, which will take Auburn's men's and women's basketball programs to a new level," Auburn Athletic Director Jay Jacobs said in a release.
Auburn is expected to begin construction on the $92.5 million project this summer.
According to Forbes.com, McGregor operates greyhound racing tracks and facilities, including the Macon County Greyhound Park.

DALLAS (AP) - Texans traveling to Kentucky with concealed handgun licenses can now carry handguns in that state as freely as they do in their own, under a reciprocal agreement that allows citizens with the licenses to visit either state with concealed handguns.
The agreement signed with Kentucky is the seventh Texas has formed with another state. Texas also has reciprocity agreements with Arkansas, Louisiana, Arizona, Florida, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
"Texans should remember that weapons laws vary from state to state," said Col. Thomas A. Davis Jr., director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Before traveling, license holders should educate themselves about laws in other states that govern where and when they can legally carry their concealed handguns, Davis said.
In order to obtain a license, Texans must be at least 21 years of age, successfully complete a 10-hour training course and demonstrate their shooting proficiency.
They also must pass a criminal background check, not be chemically dependent and meet other conditions.

Homeless man found dead in Concord
Man suffered brain injury
UPDATED 8:33 AM EDT Apr 12, 2013
Concord police are looking into the death of a homeless man who suffered a possible traumatic brain injury.
Police said Mark Lufkin, 39, was found unconscious last week on North Main Street.
He was taken to Concord Hospital, followed by Dartmouth Hitchcock, where he later died.
Detectives are trying to figure out how he got that injury. They say they are pursuing several leads.e

Congressman David McKinley, R-W.Va., criticized some of President Barack Obama's post-sequestration cuts during the Barbour County Lincoln Day Dinner, saying the cuts are hurtful.
He said since sequestration has passed, Obama has cut tours to the White House that were self-guided, and the president may eliminate the traditional Easter egg roll on the White House lawn.
Closer to home, McKinley also said the cuts may force the closing of three airport towers in West Virginia.

"When you start feeling the pain, then you're going to start calling your congressmen and you're going to say maybe we shouldn't have sequestration," McKinley said Saturday, adding he is against cuts that he believes are meant to be hurtful.
"He's trying to scare people so that you don't continue it," he said.
McKinley said sequestration was a way to cut spending by $1.2 trillion.
"We're trying to talk about how we're going to reduce spending in Washington," he said, but he added sequestration had one ultimate end result - reducing spending.
McKinley also said another way to reduce spending is by working more efficiently. He said a report conducted by the inspector general identified 16,000 issues in Washington of how simply working more efficiently could save as much as $64 billion.
"Just implement some of these recommendations," McKinley said. "These are choices they're making in Washington."
He said he recently got a copy of a note saying a poll was being conducted at the Pentagon that could prevent the National Guard from providing security to 85,000 Boy Scouts coming to West Virginia for the National Jamboree.
"We want to give the best impression possible of our state, and the president pulling the plug four months out, it's clear what he's trying to do. We've got to stop it. I wish I could give you all the good news, but I'm frustrated with our party. I'm frustrated with where we're going."
McKinley was one of four speakers at the dinner. With concerns about gun control also weighing on the minds of many throughout the nation and the state, some of the speakers decided to voice their position on the issue. Sen. David Sypolt, R-Preston, said he was a strong advocate for the Second Amendment rights.
"If it's in the Constitution, it's not a privilege. It's a right," Sypolt said.
State Republican Party Chairman Conrad Lucas also supports the right to bear arms.
"Republicans stand with the Second Amendment while Democrats are trying to assault it," Lucas said.
Most speakers agreed that change needs to happen. Delegate Randy E. Smith, R-Preston, said people have to come together as a state and a country.
Part of invoking changes requires that more people become involved.
"If you want to be significant in the state of West Virginia, you have to get involved," Sypolt said. "If you're not the solution, you're part of the problem. If you don't vote, you're letting it happen. We can't keep letting it happen."
McKinley also said communication between citizens and their government is the key.
"Let's make sure we start building bridges and talk to each other, and stop this polarization that takes place all across America," McKinley said. "Let's talk to each other."
Sypolt said he receives and welcomes many emails or calls from citizens concerned about various issues.
"It lets you know the public is out there watching what we do. I think what's the only thing that makes government good is when the public watches."

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- The Tennessee Valley Authority has helped companies invest several billion dollars in economic development projects and attract or retain thousands of jobs across the region in the last fiscal year, the utility said Wednesday.
John Bradley, TVA senior vice president of Economic Development, said TVA economic development support in fiscal 2010 contributed to 41,000 new or retained jobs in the last fiscal year and $4.3 billion in business investment. He said that, since 2005, there have been 264,500 new or retained jobs and $27 billion in business investment.
In 2010, TVA's economic development activities, which include technical services, financial assistance and other incentives that are part of TVA's non-power mission under the TVA Act, helped recruit or expand more than 150 companies into the TVA service area.
"Low-cost, reliable power and innovative marketing programs are key ingredients to TVA's successful formula for attracting businesses, creating jobs, and boosting regional economic development," Bradley said.
TVA power distributors and direct-served customers; regional, state and local officials; and community organizations also are vital to TVA economic development programs, Bradley said.
One of the most successful efforts has been the Megasites program, which partners TVA with other stakeholders to market large industrial tracts to manufacturers.
Megasites are large parcels that are ready for heavy industrial development, available for sale, have access to utilities and are free of easements and right-of-way issues.
Among the three available megasites is the 2,010-acre tract in Limestone County, just 15 minutes from Huntsville International Airport. The site is between I-65 and U.S. 31, northeast of Calhoun Community College.
Megasites have been sold to Dow Corning/Hemlock Semiconductor, to produce polysilicon for solar cells and semiconductors; Volkswagen, to build a mid-sized sedan; Paccar, to build diesel truck engines; Toyota, to build its Corolla sedan; and SeverCorr, to make steel for commercial and automotive uses.
This year TVA assessed more than 50 locations across the service area for access, telecommunications, power availability and reliability, and other characteristics suitable for data center development.
Data center sites have been identified in Guntersville and Hartselle as well as in the Tennessee cities of Athens, Bristol, Fayetteville, Jackson, Lenoir City, Maryville, Murfreesboro and Tullahoma; Grenada and Olive Branch, Miss., and Duffield, Va. More information about these sites is available at TVAed.com/datacenters.
The Valley Investment Initiative, another innovative program offered by TVA and local distributors, offers financial incentives to companies that make at least a five-year commitment to remain in the TVA service region, retain or increase their work force and make long-term capital investments in their regional operations.
TVA in 2010 was named one of Site Selection magazine's North American Top Utilities for economic development and is one of only three utilities to earn the designation five years in a row.

The Conflict Analysis and Intervention Concentration
in the School of Communication Studies,
James Madison University
The study of conflict is relevant to any student planning any career and any course of action. Conflict underlies all areas of life. We experience different forms of conflict, good and bad, in everything we do. We are always negotiating meaningful and satisfying patterns of action.
The Cai concentration prepares students to analyze conflict interaction and explore various methods of formal and informal conflict intervention. Work can focus in domestic, workplace, legal, political, religious and intercultural contexts. Included in the courses studied are community dialogue, peace building, law and restorative justice, negotiation, mediation, narrative mediation, trasformative mediation, family therapy and the history and philosophy of ethical deliberation.
A major or minor concentration in conflict analysis and intervention can prepare students for a broad spectrum of careers in government, buisness, law, peacebuilding, human services, counselling, humanitarian agencies, and dispute resolution. Students may wish to pursue the academic study of conflict and peacemaking through graduate school, or develop careers in business management, diplomacy or international relations.
The Institute for Conflict Analysis and Intervention is the hub for scholarly and applied activities on the JMU campus related to the study of conflict communication and intervention. It is also a founding member of the National Consortium of University Conflict Transformation Programs.
Students and faculty work together on Institute projects such as: dialogue, advocacy and mediation training and certification; hosting conferences, training in dialogue facilitation; organizing and presenting dialogue workshops, public discussion forums and brown-bag lunch sessions; supporting undergraduate research projects; sponsoring student memberships in the International Association for Conflict Resolution; providing information on internship opportunities; providing information about relevant graduate school programs, and supporting the student organization.
As a founding member of the National Consortium of University Conflict Transformation Programs, CAI joins with other founding members Hofstra University School of Law, University of North Dakota's Conflict Resolution Center, and Temple University's School of Adult Education.

Site to See
This is the site of the monastery Venuvana Vihar built by the powerful Magadhan Emperor Bimbisar, for Lord Buddha to reside. This was his first offering to Lord Buddha.
Ajatashatru's Fort
Built by Ajatashatru, the king of Magadha and Bimbisar's son, the fort is a major attraction of Rajgir. The 6.5 sq m Ajatashatru's Stupa is also believed to have been built by him.
Hot Springs
At the foot of the Vaibhava Hill, a staircase leads up to the various temples. Separate bathing places have been organised for men and women and the water comes through spouts from Saptdhara, the seven streams, believed to find their source behind the "Saptaparni Caves", up in the hills. The hottest of the springs is the Brahmakund with a temperature of 450 C.
Bimbisara's Jail
The spot marks the site where King Bimbisara was imprisoned by his impatient son and heir, Ajatashatru. The captive king chose this site for his incarceration. For, from this spot, he could see Lord Buddha climbing up to his mountain retreat atop the Griddhakuta Hill. There is a clear view of the Japanese Pagoda. The stupa of peace was built on the top of the hill.
Swarna Bhandar
Two rather strange cave chambers were hollowed out of a single massive rock. One of the chambers is believed to have been the guard room, the rear wall has two straight vertical lines and one horizontal line cut into the rock; this 'doorway' is supposed to lead to king Bimbisar treasury. Inscriptions in the Sankhalipi or shell script, etched into the wall and so far undeciphered, are believed to give the clue to open the doorway. The treasure, according to folklore, is still intact. The second chamber bears a few traces of seated and standing guards etched into the outer wall.
Amaravana or Jivaka's Mango Garden
One of the famous attractions of Rajgir, Amaravana is the site of Jivaka's dispensary where the Lord Buddha was treated after being wounded by his wicked cousin Devdatta. Jivaka was the royal physician during the reign of Ajatashatru and Bimbisar.
The Cyclopean Wall
Once 40 km long, it encircled ancient Rajgir. Built of massive undressed stone carefully fitted together, the wall is one of the few important pre-Mauryan stone structures ever to have been found. Traces of the wall still subsist, particularly at the exit of Rajgir to Gaya.
Griddhakuta or Vulture's Peak
This was the place where the Lord Buddha set in motion his second wheel of law and, for three months every year during the rainy season, preached many inspiring sermons to his disciples. The Buddha Sangha of Japan has constructed a massive modern stupa, the Shanti Stupa (Peace Pagoda), on the top of the hill in commemoration. A bridle path leads up to the hill but it is much more fun to take the Aerial Chairlift which operates every day except Thursdays. A one way ride takes 7.5 minutes and the view is splendid over the hills of Rajgir.
Jain Temples
On hillcrests around Rajgir, far in the distances one can see about 26 Jain temples. They are difficult to approach for the untrained, but make exciting trekking for those in form.
Pippala Cave
Above the hot springs on the Vaibhava Hill, is a rectangular stone sculpted by the forces of nature, which appears to have been used as a watchtower. Since it later became the resort of pious hermits, it is also called Pippala Cave and popularly known as "Jarasandh Ki Baithak" after the name of the king Jarasandh, a contemporary of Lord Krishna described in the epic Mahabharata.
Other places of interest
Other Archaeological sites including the Karnada Tank where Lord Buddha used to bathe, the Maniyar Math that dates from the 1st century AD, the Maraka Kukshi where the still unborn Ajatashatru was cursed as a patricide, the Rannbhumi where Bhima and Jarasandh fought one of the Mahabharat battles. The Chariot Route and shell inscriptions are worth a visit for the strangeness of the phenomenon, two parallel furrows cut deep into the rock for about 50 feet giving credence to the local belief that they were "burnt" into the rock by the speed and power of Lord Krishna's chariot when he entered the city of Rajgir during the epic Mahabharata times. Several shell inscriptions, the un-deciphered characters current in central and eastern India from the 1st to the 5th centuries AD, are engraved in the rock around the chariot marks.

Evo Conference Says GoodbyeCecily Kellogg
Sad news in my email today… one of my favorite conferences the Evo Conference held for the last three years in Park City, Utah is closing down operations.
There will be no Evo '13.
Here's the note included in the goodbye email.
"Sure, it's chilly now, but a lot of people have summer on their minds—particularly their summer conference plans.
Many of you have reached out to see when we'll be kicking off evo'13 and we are sad to say that after three successful years and due to some date challenges for the 2013 event, the evo Conference is bidding farewell.
We have loved evolving with you and your families. From fabulous hands-on workshops, passionate ignite presentations, singing in Swahili, zip lining, line dancing, flash mobbing, pool jumping, and making personal and professional connections that will last a lifetime, we appreciate you for being along for and contributing to what has been a remarkable ride—whether on the ground, in a gondola at 9,000 ft., or in a hot air balloon. Your presence has enriched our lives and our time spent building evo will continue to be some of our most treasured experiences.
We'll be keeping our Facebook page up for 2 more weeks and we'd love for you to share your favorite evo moment or a way in which evo helped you evolve. We look forward to hearing your evo highlights."
So sorry to hear this news! Thank to Jyl (Mom It Forward) and Rachael (Today's Mama) for doing such a great job these last three years. Will miss seeing Utah each summer!

This study aims at discerning the most prevalent threat posed by marine debris to Hawaiian green sea turtles. The hypothesis, that entanglement in stray nets and fishing lines most seriously endangers sea turtles, is proven false through data collection which indicates a much greater risk of ingestion. This paper includes information on the variety of threats to the continued existence of sea turtles, as well as data on the amount of debris which washes up onto Hawaiian beaches.
This project examined the prevalence of small plastic particles in the coastal zones of the big island of Hawaii and its potential effect on marine animals. We hypothesized that the ratio of plastic to plankton would be 2:1. Samples were obtained on the east and west sides of the island, and the plastic and plankton content was analyzed and compared. This experiment was a stepping-stone to other experiments to be implemented on a larger scale, and it will lead to a positive impact on the lives of marine animals.
Sustainability was brought into focus as this paper dedicates its efforts to provide supportive research towards an energy independent State of Hawaii. While assessing if wave power would have been a feasible solution for off shore development on the Big Island, resources such as bathymetry models, interviews, comparison methods, and research into government documents were used to discover the possible solution that the Big Island could be an energy independent state. An assessment of the practicality of the proposed method has been considered a feasible solution for the Big Island, but further research indicates that Wave Energy is not necessarily the most efficient resource. Diversifying the renewable resources such as ocean thermal energy conversion and wave energy conversion would allow greater potential towards a sustainable economy.
In this paper, the ability of macadamia crops to encourage significant economic growth with limited environmental impact was investigated. Through the use of on-site research involving interviews with several experts at various locations throughout the island, this hypothesis was tested against a similar potential posed by other crops, prospective growing methods, and general climate of the Big Island. Encompassing everything from details about the macadamia nut tree to its major producers, the macadamia nut was ultimately found to be unable to meet this goal. However, there is the potential for similar research to be conducted in the future that could hopefully bring improvements to the agricultural industry of the Big Island of Hawaii.
The research in this paper aimed at investigating the macadamia nut's viability as a major crop in Hawaii. The findings show that macadamia nuts are not the most sustainable crop, nor the most profitable in Hawaii. The farming of macadamia nuts is an inefficient use of land, and the price at which the nuts sell do not generate enough revenue to recover costs from production.
This research looks at lava flows and their influence on the urban development of Hawaii's Big Island. Research through the United States Geological Survey indicated that because lava flows were a natural risk, urban development and real estate would avoid these hazards. This proved to be incorrect during field research, as observation indicated that urban planning developed right on top of some of these hazardous areas. This paper will look at volcanic risks, population density, soils, culture, and urban development to decipher reasons for development on these hazardous areas.

As with many things racial in America, it seems that even parenting decisions are open for interpretation based on whether you're black or white. My position - and that of many other bloggers and commentators - was that Paris should have been kept from the spotlight, as it seems clear her father Michael Jackson had wanted for her. But if it was part of a homegoing ceremony, was it appropriate for Paris to speak out?
It's true that for a man who seems to have had a complicated relationship with his race, Michael Jackson's send-off was in the proud African American tradition, complete with gospel music and speeches from respected members of the community. As the blogger Jimi Izrael wrote, "If there was ever doubt that he was black, it's gone now." In that context it was beautiful, respectful and well done.
But my quibble was never with the service. Clearly it seems to have been cathartic for many, and a fitting tribute to an amazing entertainer. My issue was with the way Paris Jackson seems to have been encouraged and even prodded to reveal her face and voice to a billion people, throwing away the protection her father had so carefully created for her all her 11 years of life. Perhaps it is a tradition to honor the dead in homegoing, but then again, most homegoings are not televised into every country on the planet. Paris' words would have been fitting and appropriate at the private family ceremony that preceded the public memorial. In front of television cameras, it just felt like her private grief was being packaged for public consumption.
The best way to pay respect to Michael Jackson is to honor the things he held most dear, and that includes protecting his children from the limelight until they're old enough to decide what they want to do about it.

RSS is simple, but not limited
The RSS acronym stands for many things: Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, RDF Site Summary, and there are probably a few more acronyms out there. In practice, RSS is the orange button that you find on a growing number of sites, including here at developerWorks.
Through the RSS feed, you can subscribe to a site and be notified of updates. RSS differs from e-mail subscriptions on two important aspects:
- RSS requires a special client, the RSS reader, but it is increasingly included in the Web browser.
- RSS preserves the user's privacy because, unlike e-mail, no personal information is exchanged with the site.
It's easy to code your first RSS file. The root RSS element is called
rss (appropriately enough). It is immediately followed by a
channel element.
channel element starts with a description of
the newsfeed. It must include at least the feed title (
a link to the related Web site (
link), and
the description of the feed (
Other elements are optional. The most commonly used ones are the language of
the feed (
language), its publication date
pubDate), classification in categories (
category), and time to live (
which is the number of minutes that the channel can be cached.
docs element is often included as well, although
it is... special. The
docs element points to the RSS
documentation so it must have the same value in every RSS document.
After the channel description is the list of
item elements,
where each item represents a newsworthy event.
What is newsworthy? It depends on the site and the application. For a regular Web site, an item may represent significant updates to a page; for a podcast, it's a new episode; for a network monitoring application, it's a network alert; for a forum, an item is a new post.
The content of
item starts like the channel itself:
link, and
description. It can be more specific with date, link to multimedia
content (
enclosure), source, and comment.
To include HTML tags in the description, you must escape them (typically through a CDATA section).
Worth noting is the
guid element, a unique identifier.
When present, RSS readers rely on it to identify new items. If
GUIDs are not available, the readers must compare the item title and content to find
new items.
Listing 1 is a sample RSS feed:
Listing 1. RSS feed
<rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Marchal.com</title> <link>http://www.marchal.com/</link> <description>Marchal's site.</description> <docs>http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss</docs> <language>en</language> <copyright>Copyright 2006, Benoit Marchal.</copyright> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Jun 2006 00:35:40 +0200</pubDate> <item> <title>Online photos</title> <link>http://www.marchal.com/en/photos</link> <description><![CDATA[
In 2002 I added a digital camera to my writer toolbox. I have used it to illustrate my articles and web sites.

While I had some experience with film-based photos, I was new to digital images. Most of the things I knew were still valid, others I had to re-learn. There was a lot of new material as well. These pages summarize my findings.

To subscribe to a feed, visitors need an RSS reader. Essentially the reader downloads the RSS file at regular intervals and notifies the user if new items are found.
RSS readers are being built into the main browsers: Firefox 1.5, Internet Explorer 7, and Safari already include an RSS reader. Standalone readers are also available, for example, from NewsGator. Last but not least, for those who don't like to install new software, you can read feeds through aggregator sites such as Google Reader or NetVibes. There are even RSS to e-mail bridges like Zookoda.
More elements are defined in RSS than can be covered in this section. See Resources for the complete specification.
RSS power
To summarize, hosted applications or Web sites that need to share information or notify users can benefit from an RSS feed. Indeed, RSS use is spreading like wildfire.
With great use, come a lot of headaches. Some developers complain that they need to shoehorn concepts in items and that the latter are too restrictive. To address the limitation, RSS 2.0 is designed as an extensible language. The principle is simple: the RSS elements themselves are not included in a namespace (for backward compatibility with RSS 0.92), but developers are free to extend RSS by adding elements in a namespace of their own.
When a tag has a namespace, RSS readers should try to recognize the extension from its namespace. If they succeed, then they can process the elements. If they don't, they should simply ignore the elements.
RSS, therefore, provides a backbone on which you can build more powerful applications. The beauty of the mechanism is that extensions are optional for the reader, so a reader who fails to process an extension can still do sensible things with the core RSS specification.
Namespace reminder
Before going any further, I want to debunk a few myths about namespaces. Surprisingly, seven years after the namespace recommendation was published by the W3C, it still generates a great deal of misunderstanding... and, unfortunately, it shows in some RSS readers that implement the standard incorrectly.
Namespaces are designed for vocabularies which, like RSS, need extensions on a core set of elements. Specifically, namespaces prevent name clashes when two different extensions use the same XML elements with different meanings.
Because the extensions are developed independently, it is only a matter of time before common names are reused. Consider the word "key," for example. It might be used as a database key or as a cryptographic key.
To remove the ambiguity, namespaces split element names in a local name and a namespace Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Namespace URIs are unique identifiers of an extension. On their own, local names are not guaranteed to be unique, but the combination of local name and namespace URI is.
I assume most readers are familiar with the namespace syntax.
Essentially, the
xmlns attribute declares a prefix and associates it
to a namespace URI. The prefix, in turn, associates the namespace URI to local names.
The colon is the separator between the local name and the prefix.
Listing 2 is an example:
Listing 2. namespace declaration
<dc:contributor xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"> Marchal</dc:contributor>
In practice, two aspects of namespaces are confusing:
- The identifier is a URI and, in most cases, a URL.
- The combination of prefix and local name is not guaranteed to be unique. One needs to use the namespace URI for uniqueness.
I'll address these two mistakes.
First, the namespace URI. In the context of namespaces, the URI is strictly an identifier, not a definition, of the vocabulary. Therefore, the resource that the URI points to is irrelevant. In many cases, the resource does not even exist.
While developers and users like definition, they consider it unacceptable to force applications to download files before they process elements in a given namespace.
Many applications still run with no permanent Internet connection. Even for those with an Internet connection, having to download files would slow them down in ways that are not always acceptable. And what happens if the Web site is (temporarily) unavailable?
Furthermore, in the context of namespaces, an identifier is all that is needed.
What about prefixes? Appending the URI to every tag increases the length of documents. Therefore, prefixes were introduced as a means to shorten the URI. However, the prefix is not guaranteed to be unique (if the local name cannot be made unique, there's no reason to believe that the prefix will be... especially given that prefixes are usually very short), and you must refer to the URI.
Which brings me to the special characteristics of URIs; they are unique identifiers because most URIs are URLs, and URLs include a domain name. As long as you define your namespaces using domain names that you own, you guarantee uniqueness because no other organization has registered the same domain.
Three popular extensions
To better understand how the extension works in practice, let's review three popular extensions of RSS:
- Dublin Core for metadata
- iTunes for podcasting
- Syndicated Photography as an extension that extends an extension
Dublin Core
The Dublin Core is a set of metadata elements originally defined in RFC2413.
The Dublin Core is a minimalist set of metadata for searching resources.
It has been used in HTML (in the
element) and in various XML vocabularies.
Some elements in the Dublin Core duplicate RSS elements (for example, language),
which is inevitable because it was developed before RSS. Yet even the
duplicates are useful because you can attach Dublin Core extensions to channels or items. For example, the RSS
copyright element appears at the channel level only whereas you can attach the Dublin Core
rights to individual items.
The Dublin Core namespace is
Listing 3 is an example of Dublin Core in RSS:

The Dublin Core extensions show that even elements similar to RSS can add value by offering more options.
iTunes Music Store
iTunes offers direct access to podcasts through its iTunes Music Store. To integrate
the podcast in the store, iTunes has defined an extension in the
http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd namespace.
The iTunes extension is remarkable because:
- It does not shy away from redefining elements that are similar to RSS
when the definition is different
(for example,
itunes:imageiTunes needs images of 300 by 300 pixels whereas RSS specifies a maximal width of 144).
- It defines new elements to enhance user accessibility
(for example,
itunes:durationprovides the duration of a podcast, whereas RSS only offers file length).

Syndicated Photography
Photocasting is the distribution of photos through RSS feeds. It is similar
in principle to podcasting, but with images instead of sound.
At first sight, it appears that to
distribute photos in an RSS feed, the
enclosure element is enough.
Efficient photo viewers download a thumbnail first and only download the photo
at the user's request. This is not the behavior of
enclosure, so Pheed has to
define an extension with only two tags:
(a smaller image that is fast to download) and
(the full resolution image).
Pheed is an RSS aggregator with special support for multimedia documents such as photos.
Interestingly enough, photos also need metadata, and Pheed chose... the Dublin Core. The photo extension, therefore, builds on another extension. A smart move as it reduces duplicated efforts.
Listing 5 is an example of photo feed. Note that two namespaces are declared:

Defining your extensions
What are the practical steps if you find yourself wishing that RSS had one more feature?
- Make sure that the extension you need does not exist elsewhere already. No need to reinvent the wheel; it makes life miserable for RSS readers.
- If you find you still need to develop a new extension, make sure to apply the correct rules for namespace creation.
- Don't hesitate to redefine existing elements if they are not totally appropriate
(for example, the
itunes:imageis similar, but different from RSS's own
image). Overloading elements will only introduce confusion.
RSS is a flexible format but, more importantly, it's a great starting point for many applications that need to broadcast or narrowcast. Thanks to the extension mechanism, its usefulness is limitless.

2-alarm fire hits Watertown duplex
No injuries reported, firefighters say
Published 6:55 PM CST Feb 02, 2013
Authorities are investigating a two-alarm fire that hit a duplex in Watertown on Saturday.
The Watertown Fire Department said the fire happened in the 200 block of W. Cady Street.
Responding firefighters said smoke was pouring from the attic when they arrived.
The duplex was being renovated and was vacant at the time of the fire, officials said.
No injuries were reported, but firefighters said cold weather conditions prompted them to call in extra departments.

PSU's Shrive discusses his development and McGloin's competitiveness
April 15, 2011 - Cory Giger
UNIVERSITY PARK -- Eric Shrive came to Penn State as a five-star offensive line recruit, but bouncing around from position to position and needing extra time to learn the offense have prevented him from making an impact on the field yet.
Shrive, who redshirted his freshman year in 2009 and played in just two games last year, already has spent time at every offensive line position except center.
"Right now I'm at right tackle," Shrive said. "I moved around a little bit; I was at guard, at tackle. [Saturday] I'll be playing right tackle for the White team."
That doesn't mean he will remain there.
"Coming into the fall, I don't know if I'll be a guard or tackle," Shrive said. "I'm just trying to get on the field."
Shrive is an impressive specimen at 6-foot-6 and 302 pounds. He was one of the top offensive line recruits in the nation, so many people expected him to make an immediate impact for the Nittany Lions.
That hasn't happened, and one has to wonder if constantly changing positions has hindered his development.
"I think up until this spring it was more of getting the offense down for me," Shrive said. "And now I feel like I'm very comfortable in the offense. I know what I'm supposed to do and where I'm supposed to be, and I think it's just easier for me to get out there and play."
If he stays at right tackle, Shrive would have to beat out returning starter Chima Okoli this fall.
Shrive saw the first action of his career in last year's season opener against Youngstown State, but the only other game he appeared in was week 11 against Indiana.
Today's Blue-White Game will give fans a chance to see how far he has progressed in his two years at PSU.
"It's practice No. 15, but really it's more than a practice," Shrive said. "We're allowed to actually hit each other a little harder. This will be our first time [practicing] outside this year, and I'm looking forward to it."
Shrive played with Matt McGloin in high school at West Scranton, so he knows the quarterback perhaps better than anyone on the team.
"Matt, he was great in high school, and everyone got to see what he can do last year when he got on the field," Shrive said. "So I think Matt's just moving right along, and everything he's doing is the right thing. He's a leader and someone to look up to, and that's how he was in high school."
Shrive also believes McGloin is enjoying battling with Rob Bolden for the starting job.
"Matt's always looked for competition," he said. "He was never one to shy away from competition. He was always, if the defensive backs says something to him, you know he's throwing at you the next play. That's just how he is. I think he loves the competition.
"I think him and Rob are doing a great job, and whoever's the quarterback coming in the fall I think we'll be good."
Shrive spends a lot of his time off the field with the Uplifting Athletes organization, and he is vice president of the group this year. Offensive lineman Mike Farrell has taken over for former receiver Brett Brackett as president.
"My main focus is fundraising," Shrive said. "The last two years I really did a lot with fundraising, and I just help Mike out organizing events and stuff like that."

Final Days
May 14, 2008 - Ron Flaviano
If I was feeling nostalgic with my last blog, fondly recalling shopping at Hills Department Store, with this entry, I feel a bit sad. Like I said before, my connection with retail stores goes back to my early childhood. Each time a store closes, or a chain goes out of business I feel a little somber. But sometimes a store holds particular happy memories.
One such store is a Marcs location in University Heights in Cleveland, Ohio. Since I live in Downtown Warren, Ohio (and make the fun-filled hour-long trek to Downtown Lisbon five times a week) when I go shopping, I often frequent Cleveland. Over the years, as I grew to love the Marcs chain, I visited every one that I ran across.
There is a Marcs location on Cedar Road in Cleveland that was quite a bit different from the others. It has a definite inner-city feel, and has two entrances one at the front, and one at the back of its plaza. The closeouts there always seemed to be different as well. In any event, I have shopped at this location for years.
But why is is special?
Because of an interesting afternoon shopping with my Mom and Dad.
A few years ago, my Dad was having a cornea operation at the Eye Clinic in Cleveland. Since my Mom doesn't like driving in big cities, I was elected to pick up my parents and take them to the appointment. I took one of my vacation days from MoJo, and we made the early morning trip to the Eye Clinic.
For one reason or another, the doctors elected not to operate on my Dad's eye. Since we were in the vicinity, and my parents both liked shopping for closeouts, I asked them if they wanted to visit the Marcs on Cedar Road. Well, my Dad, who usually didn't care much for shopping in other cities, said "Sure!" So we stopped at Marcs, and both my Mom and Dad found some really cool bargains...and were quite impressed with this very unique Marcs.
It was one of the few times in my adult life that I went shopping with my parents. And it didn't stop there... After the Marcs run, we stopped at Legacy Village, had dinner and checked out what was new at the Apple Store. It was a very enjoyable afternoon with my parents.
How does any of this matter? Well I was in Cleveland over the past weekend, and was making my run through the Cedar Road area. I noticed that several of the stores in the Marcs Plaza had closed...even the butcher shop that had been there forever. I was more shocked to see the Chipotle restaurant had been vacated. Something was up. But Marcs was open. As I got out of the car to go in, I noticed a huge sign on the door saying that there final day was Sunday. I was dismayed. I snapped a few photos on the outside, and snuck one inside.
Apparently the entire plaza is being torn down to make room for a new apartment complex. It's not a surprise, as the area has gotten a big facelift with the addition of a giant Whole Foods Market and a brand new shopping center across the street.
But why would this make me sad? The visit to this Marcs location with my parents would be the last time I would go shopping with my Dad. My Dad passed away unexpectedly in September 2006.
Seeing the the store closing forever seemed as if part of my memories were being erased.
I took the pictures to help me remember the look of the store, and the feel of the plaza...and to remember a very pleasant day shopping with my Mom and Dad.

My trip to London and USA
I haven't yet finished going over all the material I brought from the Who Do You Think You Are? Live event in London, but wanted to let everyone know about my recent trip. It was really a dream come true in every aspect.
Considered the major genealogy event in Europe, it was important for me to attend the London show - not only as the MyHeritage.com Genealogy and Translation Manager, but also as a genealogist with a great passion for the hit BBC series, now also available in several international versions.
Manning the MyHeritage booth meant I didn't have much time to run around, but I was able to meet many great people. There is an incredible difference between genealogy events in the US and this event. The attendees are different, as the majority of the London visitors are ordinary viewers of the series who have just begun to develop some interest in their family history.
In the US, genealogy conference attendees tend to be hardcore genealogists with family trees numbering in the thousands, always talking about the next cemetery visit or the newest bit of evidence - just like me!
I also met members of UK genealogy and historical societies. The amount of material they produce is rather impressive, as are the number of related magazines and journals printed in the UK.
The MyHeritage booth, served by a mix of London and Israel staff: Laurence Harris, Mario Ruckh, Robert Barham and I; distributed some 1,500 CDs containing our free Family Tree Builder software, more than 2,000 leaflets with information, and chocolates to all our visitors. It was wonderful to meet MyHeritage users and learn how each person is taking advantage of our multiple features. We also provided six PremiumPlus accounts to lucky drawing winners. Thanks to all for a wonderful time in London.
On a more personal note as a genealogist, I couldn't resist contacting some relatives and organizing a small family reunion. With advance planning, email and phone calls, we managed to get together five distant cousins from two branches of my paternal grandmother's family.
These cousins haven't met in more than 20 years because their parents had an argument back then. No one today really remembers what the argument was about and not really care any more. Does this sound familiar to you? It was an emotional get-together as we each brought old photos, compared notes about the family tree and took new photos. This reunion is the continuation of the magnificent work done by my late distant Uncle Lothar. I couldn't resist taking the 45-minute tube ride plus a 20-minute bus ride - each way - to visit his grave.
Right now, I'm working full speed towards my next trip.
I've been invited to speak at the Family History Fair (Grand Junction, Colorado) and at the Computerized Family History & Genealogy Conference (Salt Lake City, Utah). This year this SLC event takes place in conjunction with the NGS annual conference. There's no doubt it will be a very intense week.
For me, it will cap my West Coast Genealogy Tour, which includes speaking at other regional venues:
* April 17: Family History Fair; Grand Junction, Colorado.
* April 18: Jewish Genealogical Society of Sacramento, California.
* April 19: San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society, California.
* April 21: San Joaquin Genealogy Society; Stockton, California.
* April 26: Computerized Family History & Genealogy Conference, Utah.
* April 27: Utah Jewish Genealogical Society; Salt Lake City, Utah.
For more details, visit my personal page http://www.searchingformyroots.com
This, however, is only the first part of my upcoming US visits, as I will be in California again in June and July for the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree (June 11-13), the 30th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy (July 11-16), along with other programs for genealogical and historical societies.
If your group would like me to speak, contact me and I'll schedule it with pleasure.

- It is a good news..
- An chance of coming over to Asia....mainly Malaysia? Is the Genealogy built on the website a Western style? Asian carries a huge Genealogy trail within each family, very interesting & I'm building one at the moment but trying to persuade family members is a challenge as not many are keen to reveal as a document but don't mind speaking out...funny. Well it is a work in progress.

Are power cleans and number of sets the only differences between SS & SL? I've decided to go with SL but I'm wondering if, as a woman, I should start with 3x5 sets or do the program 5x5 like it says?
The difference is in the details. SS has power cleans but ive heard many people switch to rows anyway.
Ofcourse youll notice that SL is 5x5 while SS is 3x5. SL has you start from an empty bar. SS has you start at a higher weight relative to each individuel.
From what ive been told and what i noticed today is that 3x5 is easier. Easier in a good way in that you gain strength with less volume, less exhaustion and therefor you wont stall as quickly.
So i say do 3x5.
As for power cleans, there technically more difficult to learn, but are highly reccomended. Personally I dont do it. I do SLifts progression and exercises in 3x5 instead of 5x5.
Both are good because youll get stronger. So take this information and make your own decision
hope this helped.
I started out with SL5x5 but moved into the SS 3x5 style instead. I found faster gains through starting strength. Plus there really is no substitute for powercleans. They are such an amazing whole body work out, and the only time I've had mad DOMS in my traps was from doing them. There's nothing to lose to try out SS for 6 weeks and see how you progress. Don't forget to eat enough!
If you are looking for an okay guide on powercleans. Rippetoes guides are up on youtube too, but I was always having issue with my catch as I was always catching with my wrists. Now at least I'm catching on my shoulders/chest but I'm getting some gnarly bruises up on my delts which doesn't worry me that much, since im not bruising the shit outta my collarbones which is significantly worse.
ps if you cant see the youtube link its elliots guide called "how to power clean for bigger traps"
Last edited by sunsis; 06-03-2013 at 02:54 AM.
I watched the power clean vid and I think I'd rather do barbell rows instead. I have very weak wrists and it looks like I'd injure them with the way the bar has to be lifted up onto the shoulders with wrists bent back.? Also, since there's a bit of a squatting motion in power cleans wouldn't it be a bit much to do both power cleans and squats on the same day? Or how are the SS workouts divided?
For SL it is Squats, Bench Press and Barbell Rows for Workout A and Workout B is Squats, Overhead Press and Deadlifts.
Personally, I feel there aint enough back work if you don't do Rows. My preference.
You will be power cleaning significantly less weight than you work with on the squat, and if you're truly "power" cleaning, there's not much front squat motion. It shouldn't really interfere with squatting. The hard part is the jump. When the bar reaches mid-thigh and you extend your entire body explosively to produce upward momentum on the bar.
SS workouts change throughout your progression through the novice stages. I think the best, concise breakdown is on blackironbeast.com, but you should buy the book, even if you don't plan on using the program, if only to get a better understanding of the methodology behind the lifts and the correct technique to get the most out of them.
Just out of curiosity, would squat thrusters work the same muscles as the clean and jerk or be even better to do than the power clean?

Strategic Plan
LSC President Pat Johns, who began his tenure in July 2010, recognized the need for a strategic plan for the college. LSC began the strategic planning process in fall 2010. Al Watts, a consultant with inTEgro, was hired to facilitate the process. A strategic planning task force comprised of faculty, staff, students and community members was organized. The task force's job was to recommend four to six strategic initiatives to guide the college's planning and budgeting for the FY12-FY15 cycle. The planning process emphasized ongoing communication and input to and from a variety of sources. Public forums and validation sessions included meeting with business and civic leaders, general community members, students, staff, and faculty. A dedicated employee online portal offered an ongoing dialogue area designed to solicit comments and resource links from campus members. A shared research repository with links to pertinent articles and reports was also available.
Master Academic Plan (MAP)
Lake Superior College's Master Academic Plan outlines program priorities and commitments, along with functional support plans, for executing the goals and objectives in LSC's 2012-2015 Strategic Plan.
In developing the process, the following were necessary before beginning:
- An environmental scan gathering community input was completed during the strategic planning process
- The vision and mission and strategic direction were established
- The strategic plan "frames" the master academic plan by including clear goals
