The Australian accent is the product of colonial settlers getting drunk, according to one of the country's speech experts.
Dean Frenkel, a tutor and lecturer at Victoria Unviersity in Melbourne said that while it also had origins in Aboriginal, English, Irish and German, the Australian accent is partly a result of their ancestor's love of alcohol.
Writing in The Age, Mr Frenkel said: "The Australian alphabet cocktail was spiked by alcohol. Our forefathers regularly got drunk together and through their frequent interactions unknowingly added an alcoholic slur to our national speech patterns.
"For the past two centuries, from generation to generation, drunken Aussie-speak continues to be taught by sober parents to children."
Mr Frenkel says "poor communication is evident among all sectors of Australian society" and says the average Australian speaks to two-thirds of their capacity.
"Missing consonants can include missing 't's (Impordant), 'l's (Austraya) and 's's (yesh), while many of our vowels are lazily transformed into other vowels, especially 'a's to 'e's (stending) and 'i's (New South Wyles) and "i"s to "oi"s (noight)."

We like to have special one-on-one time with each of our children once in a while. I think it's important when you have more than one child to give each of them a special day that is all about them. Thanks to my parents, we had the opportunity to do that this weekend! It's fun to see the excitement in the kids' eyes when we give them the opportunity to choose their own adventure.

Guitar wizard Alex de Grassi released his first Windham Hill album in 1978 and made 12 more albums for the revered New Age label before moving on. The Windham Hill Retrospective offers a great array of his marvelous fingerpicking steel guitar from these years. It's instrumental guitar that's so focused it sounds like two guitarists are playing in perfectly interlaced harmony, but each is just one man, one take, both a display of confident mastery and a serene and enabling flow into the center of beauty; close your eyes while listening and you can smell the clean air of an outdoor meadow, hear the rustling of the leaves in the crisp wind through his fingers.
Tracks flow fairly seamlessly, making this perfect for sunny meditations, walks along the beach, or for outdoor speakers. There's no neighbor-irritating bass, just guitar so natural and resonant it sounds like it's being played right in your backyard by a passing troubadour, hitting the perfect emotional notes for a lazy Saturday hammock-and-a-cool-drink-in-the-shade afternoon. The fingerpicking is so dazzling in "Window" it sounds like two players in a fierce duet while the elastic grace of "Charlotte" turns time signatures inside out and bends the melody through the majesty of De Grassi's deeply attuned guitar.
When a musician is truly in the moment, it can seem as if he's doing different things simultaneously in the same second in ways we can't possibly explain rationally. Such is the power of Alex de Grassi, who makes it seem effortless as he collapses and conflates each moment like elastic. Sometimes this level of guitar wizardly seems like showing off, but on the Windham Hill label it was always about production value and deep relaxation rather than jazzy histrionics. That aesthetic is palpable in every crisp harmonic tone ringing from De Grassi's guitar into our grateful ears.

- Arizona Veg IPM: beet armyworms, plant disease resistance, herbicide formulations
- Plant disease resistance
- Vegetable herbicide formulations
- The beet armyworm is a major pest of leafy vegetables grown in the Desert Southwest.
- Many plant pathogens must adhere to the plant surface for a given time to penetrate the plant and cause infection.
- While there have been few new herbicides developed for vegetables over the past 20 years, new formulations of old products have slowly become available.

The latest Arizona Vegetable Integrated Pest Management Update from the University of Arizona (UA) Cooperative Extension in Yuma, Ariz., released Aug. 9, 2011.
IPM guidelines for beet armyworm in lettuce
By John Palumbo, UA Research Scientist and Extension Specialist
The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is a major pest of leafy vegetables grown in the Desert Southwest. Typically, beet armyworm populations infest newly planted fields soon after plants emerge in early September and can remain heavy through early November under favorable weather conditions.
Fortunately for local pest control advisers (PCAs), several insecticide alternatives are available that provide excellent residual activity on this pest. Many products have different modes of action (MOA) that can be alternated throughout the growing season. The rapid development of resistance by beet armyworm to insecticide compounds should not readily occur.
However, if an insecticide compound, or products with the same MOA, are used repeatedly for beet armyworm control in the same field, the risk of resistance increases significantly.
This is particularly important with the Diamide group of insecticides (IRAC group 28) because the products can be applied as foliar sprays and soil injections, and because there are currently six Diamide products labeled in leafy vegetables with the same MOA (Coragen, Durivo, Voliam Xpress, Voliam Flexi, Synapse and Vetica).
Applying these Diamide products to the soil at planting, and applying them as foliar sprays in the same field, can expose multiple generations of beet armyworm to the same MOA. That is not a good way to use these products to remain effective for more than a couple of years.
Since the Diamides, as well as the other products currently available (Radiant, Proclaim, Intrepid, Avaunt), are critical to effective management of beet armyworm and other Leps in leafy vegetables, PCAs should consciously avoid the overuse of these compounds.
The most effective way to delay the onset of resistance by beet armyworm in leafy vegetables is to consider the recommendations provided in the guidelines recently prepared entitled Insecticide Resistance Management Guidelines for Beet Armyworm in Lettuce.

David Celento
Assistant Professor, Architecture: Digital Fabrication
Penn State University
David Celento considers himself a digital "tweener." He first trained at Carnegie Mellon University as an architect during the '80s, beta-testing a crash-happy version 2.0 of AutoCAD, more than a decade before BIM, 3D modeling, and digital fabrication took hold of the profession. After impacting some of Pittsburgh's most memorable spaces – including the Andy Warhol Museum, the Heinz History Center, and Pittsburgh's Children's Museum – he headed to Harvard Graduate School of Design to better understand how digitization is radically changing design education and the business of architecture.
Today, this AIA award winning designer is at Penn State, teaching the next generation of architects visualization, design, and digital fabrication via the electronic tools that enable the collaborative and interdisciplinary approach that has come to define Generation Y.
Below are excerpts from a conversation with Dave Celento.
What impact is digitization having on the industry?
The one curious thing about architects is that we have historically relied upon other people to build our ideas. We have the idea, but someone else performs the act. This is not the case with other fields – surgeons plan and perform surgery, programmers design and code their solutions, lawyers research and argue their cases. But for architects, pre-digital work requires translation from ideas into drawings, which are then given to a contractor, which in turn are given to a subcontractor, then to a manufacturer, etc. Anyone who has played the game of "telephone" sitting around a campfire is familiar with how different the result is from the original message!
With digitization, there's potential for less translation and greater design intent to be realized, as well as greater complexity. Using digital tools, designers are much more directly involved. It's taking the lid off "form-making" in architecture. Anything that can be reduced to data can impact the form of the building in a meaningful and useful way. The results can be crazy (the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, by Frank Gehry) or much more pragmatic and environmentally responsive ("The Gerkin" aka 30 St. Mary Axe by Sir Norman Foster and Assocs).
The great part about digital data is that when you design something on the computer you can actually have it made directly from the design data – and that's the future in my opinion. It's enabling. For the first time, architects and manufacturers are able to work directly together from the original design data without having to translate it numerous times.
How will this new generation approach architecture differently?
I think personally we're going to see a blending and blurring of distinctions between disciplines as they relate to creative endeavors.
Engineering, manufacturing, industrial design, and architecture are now all using the same digital tools. We can now work together using the same software to exchange ideas and reinvent the way we approach our work—and this is terrifically exciting for all. This exchange will undoubtedly bring about more diverse and better products.
Looking at both the changing landscape of the industry and the collaborative style of the next crop of young architects, how are those trends changing the way you approach education?
Today is possibly one of the most exciting times to be involved in design training, since perhaps the birth of formal architectural education. For those who want to open the dialogue between designers of all stripes, the rules are currently being reinvented. We're seeing much greater fluidity. Things are happening faster. People who see this potential and want to explore and adapt, can.
What does this mean? Well, compare design to the sciences where the PhD is the gold bar, especially in academia. In design, it's very rare that one has a PhD, since design education is often more about developing "breadth" than "depth". Many companies are now finding that people with broad skills are the ones who have the key ingredients needed to create game-changing products like the iPhone. A friend of mine who runs a successful interdisciplinary product design firm astonished me when he said that when considering new hires a PhD is a red flag for them. Today's young, innovative firms are finding that reaching across disciplines is ultimately more beneficial than assembling teams of people with deep knowledge in limited areas who often have a hard time communicating with or inspiring each other.
The designers in demand are those who are somewhat "T" shaped — a broad perspective with specialized skills. Or even better, like a "table" – an expansive top with many supporting legs of knowledge. This "table" model is the current one favored by leading design schools. This model also favors collaborative interdisciplinary design among all players involved in the design, production, and marketing of products.
The greatest challenge in this environment for (many pre-digital) faculty is simply keeping up with these students!

3-Ingredient Blueberry Shortcakes
I may be calling these "Blueberry Shortcakes" because of the familiar dessert they most resemble, but this recipe is actually inspired by a favorite fast food of mine that doesn't have anything thing to do with strawberry shortcakes.
The delicious and buttery breakfast food I had in mind while creating these was a Bojangles BoBerry Biscuit (here's a copycat recipe I posted forever ago).
Bojangles is a popular Fried Chicken and Biscuits restaurant in the south, and it's the last word in comfort food as far as I'm concerned. Their iconic BoBerry biscuit is fluffy, buttery golden, full of blueberry bits, and drenched in a sweet glaze. You could sort of compare it to a donut… but so much better!
It's like the Krispy Kreme Hot 'n' Now of the biscuit world.
…you know… since a "biscuit world" is a real thing and all.
So anyway. I was in the mood for BoBerry biscuits when I went digging through my cupboards, and this is what I came out with.
Thanks to Pillsbury Grands Biscuits and canned pie filling, it's incredibly simple to make (or, if you prefer to complicate things, the biscuits and blueberry sauce can easily be made from scratch) and comes together in just a few minutes. Eat it while the sauce and biscuits are warm and melting the ice cream, and you'll experience a new level of BoBerry comfort you never knew existed.
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits (8 biscuits)
- 21 ounce can blueberry pie filling (I used Lucky Leaf brand)
- 8 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Bake biscuits according to the directions on the package (or you can use my favorite from-scratch recipe).
- While biscuits are baking, pour the pie filling into a small saucepan and heat on the stove top (medium heat) until warmed through.
- When biscuits are done and removed from oven, split each biscuit open and top with a scoop of ice cream. Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the ice cream and top with the other half of the biscuit. Serve immediately.
This recipe can be easily adjusted to make 1-8 servings. If making less than 8, simply bake the number of biscuits needed and store the remaining biscuit dough in and airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Don't miss a bite!

The Jets will not make either Rex Ryan or Tim Tebow available to the media today, according to a team spokesperson.
Citing an "organizational decision" the Ryan press conference initially scheduled for 4:45 p.m. today has been postponed indefinitely. The team would not give a reason as to why Ryan would not speak.
Earlier in the day, owner Woody Johnson said that Ryan would be back to coach the Jets next season, a post that Ryan said as recently as Friday that he'd like to hold for the next 15 years.
"I believe that he has the passion, the talent, and the drive to successfully lead our team," Johnson said in a statement released early this morning.
Among the possible reasons for Ryan's silence today could be the uncertainty surrounding the rest of his staff. Some believe offensive coordinator Tony Sparano could be dismissed today, though multiple offensive players in the locker room at Florham Park said they have not been told anything.
As for Tebow, the quarterback was not available during the team's final locker room period and did not show up over the course of the hour-long availability as players packed their belongings.
Amid a confusing past two weeks where his future with the team seemed resigned to a departure from the Jets, Tebow said that he looked forward to speaking about the next step after the regular season finale in Buffalo.
With no other interview times scheduled for Tebow, that does not look like that will happen.

How we almost lost Doom 3 and id for good | Opensource.com
How we almost lost Doom 3 and id for good
For fans of both gaming and open source software, few major video game companies have been revered as id software, one of the only major game studios that has not only perpetually released game clients for Linux, but has also released the source code for many of their proprietary game engines. Admittedly, the source code is always released once the next generation of id's gaming engine was launched.
In other words, id does keep their software proprietary until it becomes outdated by id's standards. Even so, their opening of professional, big budget engines has allowed for many new, open source games to see the light of day. Games such as Xonotic, World of Padman, and OpenArena—all of which are based on id's open game engines—would be near impossible to recreate without id's continuous support of the community.
So it came as little surprise when id co-founder John Carmack announced at id's annual trade show, QuakeWorld , that the source for the acclaimed Doom 3 would be opened after the release of Rage--the newest game developed by id using their latest engine.
However, this release was a bit different. If you've read any of the other articles on this matter, you know that lawyers from id and ZeniMax (id's parent company) spotted portions of code that were licensed from Creative. Therefore there were concerns over the legality opening these licensed sections of the codebase.
While some may be against ZeniMax's lawyers due to their Scrolls situation, I can't say that they were too wrong in this instance. Licensed code has always been a concern with opening once closed software. The reasons are obvious. Court proceedings, lawsuits and payouts are bad for any business. Imagine if id released the Doom 3 source code and then Bethesda or id were sued. We'd likely never see any new open source code from id again.
Business is business, and even successful companies like id cannot eat lawsuits with every release. Many lawyers are quick to put a stop if there is even the threat of a risk of litigation. In other words, if id were sued once, the hope of ever opening the source of any new id project would be near impossible. Let me repeat, had the lawyers not spotted the licensed bits as they did, we could have lost not only the Doom 3 code, but also the code for each subsequent engine produced by id.
While I would love to see id and other large gaming companies opening software from the get-go, it is nice to be able to count on id to deliver their still relevant engines in a GPL'd format for all to consume. Thanks to diligent work by all parties involved, this tradition should have a bright future ahead. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the recent announcment. Feel free to post about your favorite games based on id's open engines as well as thoughts on the latest source release by id.

Hats off to Carmack and id! I'm sure many people are not aware of just how many commercial game engines have been derived from id's source code. Perhaps most notable is Valve's heavily modified Source engine which has been used in such great titles as Half-Life 1 & 2 and Left 4 Dead 1 & 2. I wish John and id *much* good karma!
Hmm you're almost correct. The original Half Life used a heavily modified Quake 1 engine. The source engine, however, was developed in house by Valve.
I say release the bulk of it which isn't Creative's, clearly document what needs to go into those holes, and then let the OS community fill them in and release under a corporate-friendly license like Apache or LGPL. id might get something royalty-free that is as good or better than Creative's and we get to give back a little for all of the 3D engines they've given us. (Which anyone who's take some higher-level compsci can tell you aren't the most pleasant little beasties to write)
Carmack already rewrote the sections of code that were covered by the license from Creative.
Ah, very good. Reverse engineering is also an acceptable legal means to overcome legal concerns. Nice job.
Sounds resonable to put a breaks on releasing based on Intellectual Propertity mudding the waters. While IDs endeavours are fantastic, bills still need to be paid and Creative's technology may still be fruiting much needed profit for their organization and employment of people. Let us see what comes of it!
Actually, John Carmack and Id came up with an innovative business model coined as "Doom-onomics", back then. As they are still going strong, it shows the model is pretty sound, a bit like the Red Hat / Fedora cooperation. Microsoft too, is now turning less hostile to hacking, as they can derive benefits from the Open Source Community...

Call for Papers
Race and Ethnicity in the Nineteenth Century
28th Annual Conference of the Nineteenth-Century Studies Association (NCSA)
Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, PA, March 8-10, 2007
We invite submission of papers and panel proposals that explore all aspects of race and ethnicity in the 19th century, from all disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. Topics might connect race and ethnicity with social identity or social control; with land use, ecology, city planning or industrialism; with emigration and immigration patterns; with aesthetics or with the sciences; with gender and sexuality. The organizers encourage the broadest interpretation of the topic, and the widest application to cultural phenomena.
The wealth of racial and ethnic history in Pennsylvania's Central Susquehanna Valley will provide an excellent backdrop for internationally-ranging discussions. Fergus Bordewich, author of Bound for Canaan: The Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America (2005 Amistad), will present the first public lecture; the second public lecture will focus on race, religion, and the legacy of Joseph Priestley. Karen James of the PA Historical and Museum Commission will anchor a roundtable discussion on research methods for recovering African American involvement in the Underground Railroad. Speakers and local experts will lead special tours of Underground Railroad sites and 19th-century town planning and architecture, including buildings of Joseph Priestley, Thomas Edison, and Eli Slifer.
Proposals should consist of a one-page, single-spaced abstract (12-point font), with the title of the paper and author as heading; the paper MUST be able to be presented within 20 minutes. Proposals should be accompanied by a one- to two-page vita. Please send materials or inquiries to the Conference Organizer, Drew Hubbell email@example.com. The DEADLINE for submissions is Nov. 1, 2006.
Information about registration, transportation, and accommodations will be available in the Fall.

Hi everyone,
I am an occasional lurker and have wanted to post before but never have. Well this time I'd really like to know how you all would handle this situation. I'll keep it as succinct as I can.
I have a narcissistic, dry drunk mother who was and is abusive. She was physically/emotionally abusive when we were children, when my siblings and I became adults it became strictly emotional abuse. A year and a half ago the family finally came to a big breaking point and due to some very inappropriate behavior on the part of my mother (yet again,) I cut her off as did my 3 sisters. I also have 2 brothers who didn't CO, but they don't really figure too much into the whole story. We're not that close.
For the last year and a half I have been going to therapy, raising my children, (they figure highly in my decision to CO, my top priority is protecting them from her abuse) and generally healing and becoming completely comfortable with my decision to CO my mom, I know it was the right thing to do since she refuses to change or even admit that she has problems.
My dad is a unicorn but he does come around to see the kids, I have made it clear to him my feelings and we have basically decided to agree to disagree I guess. He clearly believes I am being petty but we don't talk about it and it works, he visits every couple of weeks for an hour or so and leaves. The kids love seeing him.
2 of my sisters live in the area and within the last month or so they have both been getting back in contact with my mom. One sister called my mom crying saying that she missed her and the other sister applied for a job at my mom's company. They have both made enough comments in my presence that it is pretty clear that they are back in pretty regular contact with her, although neither of them has come out and said anything direct to me.
I am feeling pretty betrayed and hurt. I know they have to live their own lives but we have spent the last year and a half suporting each other through this and now I am feeling kind of alone.
So what would you do? Bring it up? Ignore it? Do you think my feelings are childish or unwarranted?
Thanks everyone :)

Many animals, especially predators like the small spotted genet and even antelope such as bushbuck and grey duiker, are active mainly at night and depend on their keen senses of smell and hearing to locate food.
A tree felled by an elephant provides a perfect vantage point for two cheetah males searching for suitable prey. Although they are ill-equipped for climbing, cheetah will climb trees with sloping trunks to survey the surroundings. Male cheetah, usually brothers, form co-operative associations that may last for years.
A female cheetah rests after successfully catching and feeding on an impala, this cat's principal prey in Kruger. Cheetah hunt mostly in the early morning or late afternoon, but will also hunt at night when the moon is full. After bringing down an impala, cheetah feed quickly while keeping constant watch for rival predators, and even the arrival of vultures will dislodge them from a kill.
Cheetah are usually solitary, but family parties of a mother and two subadult cubs are common. The cubs are always from the same litter, and leave the mother when about 18 months old and before the next litter is born. Cheetah occupy large home ranges and, despite an abundance of their favourite prey, in no region of the Park does their density exceed one cheetah to every 45 square kilometres.
A cheetah and her two young cubs near Duke water hole south of Lower Sabie. Mother cheetah give birth in tall grass or dense cover. The cubs are carefully hidden for the first few weeks, and the mother moves them frequently to new hiding places to avoid detection by other predators. While the cubs are small, the mother is vulnerable as she has to remain and hunt within a confined area, and is thus less able to avoid attacks from lion.
Members of a wild dog pack spare no time in devouring an impala that they have just caught. Aware of hyaena howling nearby, these dogs consumed their kill in under three minutes, and by the time the hyaena arrived on the scene there was no sign of the kill. Competition from other predators, and direct attacks by lion on both adults and cubs, reduces wild dog numbers even within optimum habitat.
A complex social arrangement governs wild dog and they are able to live in large packs with few signs of conflict. Wild dog travel over vast distances, but are sedentary for a three month period when the pups are raised in an underground den. Some adult members of the pack leave the den site daily in search of prey. Here, the 'baby-sitters' encourage a returning hunter to regurgitate food, which is done for both the pups and their minders.
The Kruger Park is a stronghold for the endangered wild dog, although nowhere can it be considered common. Researchers have identified 27 packs with an estimated total population of 360 for the entire park. Wild dog have a highly developed social system and produce large numbers of pups, but remain rare even in areas where their favoured prey animals are abundant.
While diseases and lion predation are major limiting factors, research has shown that there is a lack of genetic variability in the Kruger population and this may have resulted in inbreeding.
A wild dog pup displays some of the distinct markings that make it possible to identify individuals. Only one female usually breeds in a pack, but litters of up to 21 pups have been recorded. The pups are raised in an old aardvark or warthog burrow in a termite mound, and are carefully cared for by adults in the pack.
Wild dog pups are born after a gestation period of about 70 days, and are suckled by the dominant female for three months, either in the den or near its entrance. Other adult members of the pack take an active part in cleaning the pups, and will return strays to the den. The pups begin to beg for meat from the age of 14 days, and when old enough are led by the adult dogs in search of prey.
Juvenile wild dogs playfully interact at a den site south of Lower Sabie. Fighting among pack members is rare, and a relaxed tail indicates a dog's playful mood. The pups are boisterous, and the mother disciplines them by holding them down on the ground by their necks.
The spotted hyaena's powerful jaws can crush bones and slice through thick hides, useful for a scavenger that often feeds on a carcass that has had the tender meat removed by lion. The hyaena's skull is shaped to accommodate the strong muscles that operate the lower jaw.
A young spotted hyaena rests at a roadside den. Hyaena are largely nocturnal, and form clans dominated by females. Dominant females always feed first at a carcass and return to the den to suckle their pups, which rely on their mother's milk for the first nine months. A hierarchy also exists amongst males, but the highest ranked male is considered inferior to the lowest ranked female.
Hyaena have learned to use the culverts under the main roads in Kruger as dens to raise their young. During the heat of the day, especially in summer, these concrete tunnels can become exceptionally hot and the cubs may emerge to rest near the entrance.
Interesting comparisons have been drawn between the numbers of predators in Kruger and the hoofed animals on which they prey. In the Central Region, the ratio of lion to prey is 1:110, which is exceptionally high when compared to 1:1 000 in Tanzania's Serengeti. Lion in Kruger sometimes change their prey preferences during wet and dry cycles.
During wet cycles it is easier to stalk and catch zebra and wildebeest, while in times of drought they tend to kill more buffalo, often animals that would anyway have perished from lack of food. Most predators are small in comparison to the mass of their prey. In Kruger, the combined biomass of the major predators is equal to just one per cent of their prey species. This is because between each feeding level in the food chain there is substantial loss of energy, so a 60-kilogram hyaena is dependent on 6 000 kilograms of hoofed animals, equivalent to a herd of 105 impala. The fate of all predators is therefore intricately interwoven with that of their prey.
Young hyaena often rest outside their roadside dens. Hyaena clans are dominated by females, and a female pup inherits her mother's social status. Litters consist of one or two cubs, and if two females are born then one will invariably kill the other.
A large Nile crocodile emerges from the water to feed on a hippo calf that had died in Sunset Dam. Crocodiles prefer fresh food, however, and catfish form the major portion of their diet. They perform an important ecological function in keeping the numbers of these hardy fish in check. During periods of above-average rainfall, crocodiles colonise dams up to 45 kilometres from perennial rivers.
The black-backed jackal is a scavenger that is often seen on the fringes of a lion or cheetah kill, where it will wait for the opportunity to steal a morsel. An unusual behaviour pattern that has been observed is their tendency to follow larger predators, especially leopard, while emitting a repetitive yapping call that alerts other jackal to the possibility of a kill.
A serval listens attentively for rodents scurrying through the dense grassland of a vlei near Orpen Dam. Serval prey mainly on rodents, especially vlei rats, and show a marked preference for tall grassland habitat situated near water.

A Burlington County man with a lengthy history of arrests was convicted today of drug charges stemming from the seizure of $11,000 worth of cocaine stashed in an Irvington apartment where he was staying last year, Essex County prosecutors say.
Altariq Coursey, 40, of Edgewater Park, faces up to life in prison when he's sentenced Dec. 9 by Essex County Superior Court Judge Michael Ravin in Newark.
Following a two-week trial, Coursey was found guilty of possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute.
Coursey has five prior convictions for charges that include drug possession, burglary and possession of an assault weapon, prosecutors say. They are expected to cite his criminal record in seeking a prison term of 20 years.
"This defendant has a very extensive record for drugs and guns," said Assistant Prosecutor Jamel Semper, who tried the case. "With its verdict today, the jury will make the streets of Essex County safer."
On Jan. 18, 2012, New Jersey State Police officers executing a search warrant discovered 383 grams of cocaine with a street value of $11,000 in a third-floor apartment at 90 Fuller Place in Irvington, Semper said.
Police also found a .9-mm handgun, drug paraphernalia and folders used for packaging heroin, prosecutors say.
The jury deliberated for one hour before delivering a guilty verdict. Coursey was also convicted of possession with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a school and possessing drug paraphernalia.
Detective Timothy Meyers of the New Jersey State Police led the month-long probe into Coursey's drug activities.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Traditional, Retro / Vintage
What materials did you use? My daughter and her husband asked me to use fabrics in purple, black, blue, green and red - most of the fabrics were purchased at my local Hancock's Fabrics, but some of the blocks were made using material from my daughter's toddler dresses. Other fabrics represent my son-in-law's military service, their passion for motorcycles, as well as their home. I used a poly/cotton blend batting, and the back was made using muslin, as well as large blocks of red, blue, black, green and purple. It was bound in the same red. I found the pattern on treadleon.net. The original pattern is called "On the Road to Treadleonia", using a layout called 'Wells of Happiness" and is a shaded 4-patch. This was the first quilt I started, and I didn't really understand how big the original quilt was going to be, so I just kept making blocks, adding more fabrics; since their home is nicknamed the Chicken Ranch (several chicken houses nearby) I told my daughter that I was going to call it "On the Road to the Chicken Ranch" but after working on it for months, I renamed it The Quilt That Never Ends. The final dimensions on the quilt are 8 feet wide and 9 feet long- perfect for them to snuggle on the couch with their 3 American Staffordshire Terriers.
What are you most proud of? This was the first quilt I did any free-motion quilting on- it was such a big job that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to complete the areas, but I stuck with it and after several months of working on it, it's finally at it's new home.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Looking back, I wish I had known the final dimensions of the quilt that was illustrated on the website- it took so long to finish that I got frustrated several times, and wanted to quit, but since I was making it for someone else, I couldn't give up. The blocks were easy to make; following the instructions, you make the block slightly bigger then trim to size, which was nice. I'd encourage anyone who wants to try this to make a smaller one, then add borders if you need a bigger size.
What class was this? It's beautiful.

That's my excuse, anyway. :)
I got a lot of work done on my fabulous desk the first day I had it, but since then either I've been busy or there was rain. Outside is my only place to work on the desk or even store it for now, sooo...yeah.
At any rate, a good friend of mine came over today and helped me make a LOT of headway. She's coming back tomorrow, too. Here's where we're at after today's efforts.
It's kinda hard to see...but the drawers are three different shades of purple, as is the trim on 3 sides. The top of the desk and little pull-out part (whatever it's called) are a dark gray that seems to have a touch of blue. Only the first coat is done, though. There will be magnetic paint, chalkboard paint, and cork board on the sides. I expect it to be done by the end of Friday. I'm so excited!

Recent public, political, and economic pressure has put intense scrutiny on screening modalities including prostate-specific antigen, colonoscopy, and mammography testing, which previously have been accepted as good clinical practice and incorporated into various guidelines. The recent publication by Welch and Frankel1 and the associated commentary2 disputing the life-saving benefits of breast cancer screening by mammography add more fuel to this debate. Welch and Frankel1 make a statistical argument that women with screen-detected cancer are unlikely to have benefited from screening and raise concern about the harms of screening, emphasizing overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

Google is actually filtering (censoring) results in the default web engine.
For example in Poland, if I type in google "tablica" hoping to find the portal "tablica.pl" which is a notice-board type portal (you post an annoucement that you have something to give/sell/trade etc.) you won't find it anywhere in the results. You will find an android app for the portal, but not the portal itself.
Bing gives it at the top. There are more examples, but I would have to dig in my memory a bit to remember them.
But still - I find google more reliable when looking for programming-related information. And Bing is very cropped in Poland, just the basic features.
What I also love about it is that it's so easy to add TypeScript to your code and it's even easier to remove it - just compile and it's gone. The compiled JS looks very clean and clear. It would be nice if the compiler could optionally include comments in the resulting JS file from the source TS file.
This i great! I've been waiting for it ever since I started using JavaScript for my mobile development. Since JS today is used to build a whole applicationion with HTML5, the devs need to have a greater control over their code. TypeScript allows exactly that, thank you Anders and the team!

LUDLOW - The School Committee Tuesday voted to raise the fee for summer school classes from $150 to $160 per course.
Interim School Superintendent Donna Hogan said $160 is the average price per summer school course charged by school districts in the area.
Increasing the price will help make the summer school program become self supporting, Hogan said.
She said that last year the program had to be supplemented by the school district by $2,000.
With the fee increase, the school district will still have to supplement the summer school program by $1,000, Hogan said.
Last year 80 to 85 students participated in the summer school program, Hogan said.
She said most students take two courses.
Each course is offered in a two-hour class, five days per week. The classes are six weeks long.
In some other school districts the classes last only four weeks, but school officials said they do not want to make it too easy for students to get credit for a course they may have failed during the regular school year.
School officials said four weeks is a short period of time to make up a high school course.
Some of the courses are needed for a student to graduate.
"These courses are a good deal compared to some courses offered by other school districts," School Committee member Jacob Oliveira said.
He said students are getting "a good bang for the buck" with the summer school courses.

I practice Iyengar yoga.
I also do kettle bells and heavy weights and i consider them my LHT workout.
My yoga is more for the body mind aspect.
Hey Everyone,
So I just committed to go fully Primal, my first day was yesterday!
I am interested in how many of you Blueprinter's practice yoga, and if so, how many of you consider it your move slow aspect of your Fitness routing, or do you do more vigorous types of yoga and consider it as a WOD.
I like Power Yoga, which incorporates a lot of body weight training, as well as relaxing aspects.
Just curious if there are any other Primal Yogi's and how you incorporate it into your daily life!
I practice Iyengar yoga.
I also do kettle bells and heavy weights and i consider them my LHT workout.
My yoga is more for the body mind aspect.
It is not the main focus of my workouts but I incorporate it every week or so.
Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
I love yoga and count as both play and moving slowly. Depending on the class, it can be considered LHT as well. Anyone who would argue otherwise hasn't really had to feel the wrath that certain forms of yoga can deliver!
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. Rumi
I do about 10 minutes of yoga poses about 4 times a week. Nothing too fancy, as I have hypermobile joints.
I consider it meditation/play.
F 5 ft 3. HW: 196 lbs. Primal SW (May 2011): 182 lbs (42% BF)... W June '12: 160 lbs (29% BF) (UK size 12, US size 8). GW: ~24% BF - have ditched the scales til I fit into a pair of UK size 10 bootcut jeans. Currently aligning towards 'The Perfect Health Diet' having swapped some fat for potatoes.
I did a little bit of Bethenny Frankel Skinnygirl Yoga early this year. Eh, it's OK.
Sohpie: Couldn't agree more, some forms of yoga that incorporate lifts and inversions are INTENSE. I know the importance of Lifting Heavy and Sprinting too, but I definitely love me some yoga
I occasionally do Ashtanga yoga; I see it as low intensity work - but it really depends on what shape YOU are in.
Yoga, for me, is an addition to my training; not something I see as a workout in itself.
I love yoga - it's one of the best bodyweight forms of exercises there is.
Those who scoff at it have either never tried it, or haven't tried it properly. It is far from easy and my muscles always know about it the next day.

Lemon shark
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (April 2009)
The lemon shark (Negaprion brevirostris) is a shark in the family Carcharhinidae. It can grow to 10 feet (3.0 m) long.[2] It is known as the lemon shark because of its unique yellow coloration.
Description[edit source | edit]
The lemon shark commonly attains a length of 2.4 to 3.1 m (7.9 to 10 ft) and a weight of up to 90 kg (200 lb) at adulthood, although sexual maturity is attained at 2.24 m (7.3 ft) in males and 2.4 m (7.9 ft) in females.[3] The maximum recorded length and weight is 3.43 m (11.3 ft) and 183.7 kg (405 lb).[4] The lemon shark has pale yellow-brown to grey skin, which lacks any distinctive markings. This provides perfect camouflage when swimming over the sandy seafloor in its coastal habitat.[5] It has a flattened head with a short, broad snout, and the second dorsal fin is almost as large as the first.
Distribution and habitat[edit source | edit]
The lemon shark is found mainly along the subtropical and tropical parts of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North and South America, and around Pacific islands. The longest lemon shark recorded was 13 ft (4.0 m) long, but they are usually 8–10 ft (2.4–3.0 m). They inhabit mostly tropical waters, stay at moderate depths, and are often accompanied by remoras.
Reproduction[edit source | edit]
Lemon sharks are viviparous, females giving birth to between four and 17 young every other year in warm and shallow lagoons. The young have to fend for themselves from birth, and remain in shallow water near mangroves until they grow larger. With increasing size, they venture further away from their birthplaces. At maturity, at a size of 1.5–2 m and an age of 12–15 years, they leave shallow water and move into deeper waters offshore. However, little is known of this life stage.
Recent work in genetics by Kevin Feldheim and Samuel Gruber may suggest adult sharks travel hundreds of kilometers to mate. Another possibility is that populations far apart may have been separated in recent times. Further research is needed for an understanding of the lemon shark's breeding behavior and ecology.
Importance to humans[edit source | edit]
Lemon sharks are a popular choice for study by scientists, as they survive well in captivity, unlike many other species, such as the great white, which die in captivity because of food refusal. The species is the best known of all sharks in terms of behavior and ecology, mainly because of the work of Samuel Gruber at the University of Miami, who has been studying the lemon shark both in the field and in the laboratory since 1967. The population around the Bimini Islands in the western Bahamas, where Gruber's Bimini Biological Field Station is situated, is probably the best known of all shark populations. As of 2007, this population is experiencing a severe decline and may disappear altogether as a result of destruction of the mangroves for construction of a golf resort. Of the 22 known lemon shark attacks since 1580, none have resulted in death.
Electroreceptors[edit source | edit]
All sharks have electroreceptors concentrated in their heads, called the ampullae of Lorenzini. These receptors detect electrical pulses emitted by potential prey. Lemon sharks are bottom dwellers. They have very poor eyesight and cannot see well to find their food, but are equipped with extremely sensitive and accurate electroreceptors in the nose.

FAU Presents 2012 Nobel Laureate Lecture with Professor Françoise Barré-Sinoussi
Pasteur Institute Virologist Shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for Discovering HIV
BOCA RATON, FL (APRIL 23, 2012) – Florida Atlantic University's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI) of Florida will present the 2012 Nobel Laureate Lecture on Friday, April 27 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the Libby and Harry Dodson Auditorium, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. The featured speaker, Professor Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Ph.D., shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Professor Luc Montagnier for their discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the 1980s.
Currently the director of the Unit of Regulation of Retroviral Infections at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, Barré-Sinoussi will speak on "HIV, A Discovery Highlighting the Global Benefit of Translational Research." Translational research means taking scientific discoveries that arise from laboratory, clinical or population studies and turning them into clinical applications to reduce the incidence and mortality from a specific disease or condition.
Since her discovery with Montagnier of HIV three decades ago, Barré-Sinoussi has toured the world, calling for stronger efforts to find a cure for AIDS and initiating collaborations with developing countries.
"A cure will require funding commitments, strong community engagement, rigorous and innovative scientific endeavor and, above all, further collaborative multidisciplinary science with a better connection between basic and clinical research," Barré-Sinoussi wrote last year in the International Herald Tribune.
In awarding the Nobel Prize to Sinoussi and Montagnier, the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden, noted that the discovery of HIV made rapid cloning of the HIV-1 genome possible, allowing identification of important details in its replication cycle and how the virus interacts with its host. It also led to development of methods to diagnose infected patients and screen blood products, which has limited the spread of the pandemic. Knowing details about how the virus reproduces also allowed development of several new antiviral drugs.
"The annual Nobel Lecture has become a signature event for our College and the University," said Gary Perry, Ph.D., dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. "The Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute faculty have affiliate appointments in the College of Science and participate in seminars and joint student training programs."
Added professor Ramaswamy Narayanan, chair of the 2012 Nobel committee in the College of Science, "Working together with a world-class institution such as VGTI of Florida will further enhance our ability to attract topnotch faculty and graduate students."
VGTI of Florida has assembled a research team of scientists from more than 20 nations who are now working at the VGTI facility in Port St. Lucie to find novel cures and treatments for devastating diseases, including the eradication of the HIV virus. The scientists have collaborations with research and clinical partners throughout the state, including FAU, as well as with organizations around the world.
"Professor Françoise Barré-Sinoussi's visit puts the battle against debilitating diseases in sharp focus," said Dr. Rafick Sékaly, co-director and chief scientific officer for VGTI of Florida. "She has taken on the challenge of assembling a worldwide effort to find a cure for AIDS."
Other sponsors of the 2012 Nobel Laureate Lecture include Envoy Therapeutics, Bank of America, Leuven Research & Development, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Novak Druce + Quigg LLP and the Davimos Family Endowment for Excellence in Science.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Space is limited, and reservations are required. For more information or to RSVP, email email@example.com or visit www.science.fau.edu/nobel.
-FAU-Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University serves more than 29,000 undergraduate and graduate students on seven campuses and sites. FAU's world-class teaching and research faculty serves students through 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, the College of Business, the College for Design and Social Inquiry, the College of Education, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. FAU is ranked as a High Research Activity institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. For more information, visit www.fau.edu.

In the third game why not ...Kh6?
Tactics literally means ways of touching. In chess, it translates to the ways of attacking your opponents pieces, because the word attack (a-tack) literally means to touch repeatedly or continuously.
A fork, attacking two or more pieces simultaneously, is one way of attacking, one tactic.
A skewer, attacking a piece which is on the same line as a less valuable piece, is another way of attacking, another tactic.
cool video
yes it succeeds. there's no one to attack the queen on g4?
1. Bxh7+ Kxh7 2. Ng5+ Kg6 (2...Kg8 3. Qh5 Rd8 4. Qxf7+ Kh8 5. Qh5+ Kg8 6. Qh7+ Kf8 7. Qh8+ Ke7 8. Qxg7#) (2...Kh6 3. Nxe6+ +-) 3. Qg4 f6 (3...f5 4. Qh4 transposes) (3...Ne3 4. Bxe3 Bxe3 5. Nxe6+ +-) (3...Nf6 4. exf6 Kxf6 5. Ne4+ +-) 4. Qe4+ f5 5. Qh4 (threatening Qh7#) f4 6. Qh7+ Kxg5 7. h4+ Kg4 8. Qg6+ Kxh4 9. g3+ fxg3 (9...Kh3 10. Qh5#) 10. Qxg3+ Kh5 11. Qg5#
You have to highlight the blank space above to see my answer to the puzzle at the end of the video. I think I got everything. This specific pattern works thanks to the e5 pawn, which divides the board in two, and to Black's undeveloped queenside, which keeps 5...Rh8 from working.
Great advice....try to identify and understand the details!
Excellent. Question: How do I go about setting up my own studies in this way? That is, how can I find a number of games with similar endings?
Great video. I have used this specific combination many times, sometimes I won, sometimes I lost. Now I understand how to judge in advance whether or not the sacrifice will succeed. And I can extrapolate this idea to other "speculative" sacrifices as well.
I enjoyed it very much. I could never feel the nuances of the slightly different positions. For me, a piece sacrifice always seems to get me beat, except if I can see checkmate in a couple of moves. I find that the "feel" I thought I had for the position was just a toilet urge.
perhaps the first 6 minutes spent talking is a bit much
thanks Gregory, another brilliant video. not only highly instructive but highly entertaining too.
another helpful tactics on blitz game
very helpful
@JonnyTurgi- Horrible spelling of specifically.
Wow very instructive indeed pattern recognition is an important fctor in chess but i think what makes a exeptionnal player is when he recognize the pattern but he is able to EVALUATE and JUDGE the resulting position specifictly with the position on the board by visualizing it carefully before going there. In that field a player who paved the way is Alexander Alekhine he was very strong positionnaly but tacticaly he would makes lets say a three moces combo and visualize the resulting position with clockwork precision and more important evaluate and judge it acurately. I think that in life and in chess judgement is what makes people smart and computing abilities are of course important but even caluating 12 moves ahead is useless if we cannot judge the result at the end. Thanks Gregory!
Enjoyed the insights!
I liked this presentation about pattern recognition at various levels.
Great Vedio GM Kaidanov.
GM Gregory Kaidanov
What happens when a well known "mating pattern" doesn't work? As Grandmaster Gregory Kaidanov explains, at the highest levels of chess, knowledge of the critical patterns in chess is no longer the most important skill. Rather, creativity within those patterns, and the ability to calculate deeper are the dominate factors. He provides examples to explain his reasoning...

In the short span of six years, Katie Davis went from living as a typical Tennessee high school senior to founding a child sponsorship ministry and becoming a single mom to 13 adopted daughters. Kisses From Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption (Howard Books) tells the story of how Katie's gap year ministering in a Ugandan orphanage eventually led to her development of Amazima Ministries. TCW's Aryantu Otiti sat down with Katie to learn more about her adventure of saying yes to God.
How did you know it was God's will for you to move to Africa and start this ministry?
I was absolutely sure God wanted me in Uganda for a period of time, but I had no idea what God was going to do in that time—and I never knew it would be this big! If someone would have told me five years ago that God's calling upon my life was to have this organization, to sponsor 700 children, and to feed all these other children, I would have been scared. But it all happened so gradually; it was one small step of obedience at a time. I always felt God's confirmation in each of the small steps—in helping the person right in front of me or helping the family near me. Before I knew it, it had grown into this huge thing!
When you moved to Uganda, were you afraid of going out on your own, so far away from home?
Some missionaries have a tendency to paint a beautiful picture and make the mission field seem really rosy—but it wasn't always rosy for me. There were times when I was sad, uncomfortable, and lonely, but I don't think I was ever fearful because I felt God's confirmation that I was in the place where he wanted me to be.
What were your first days in Africa like?
The first few days I was here I was just so excited; everything was beautiful and so new and different. I found the people here friendlier and much more welcoming than the people I knew where I came from. Ugandans in general have the gift of hospitality and of grace to outsiders, and I was very impressed and excited about that.
So initially I thought, This is so exciting, I want to stay here forever! But then when reality began to set in, I felt, Oh my gosh, no I don't. This is hard. This is harder than I thought it would be. But I'm glad I pushed through that hard part.
How did your parents feel about your move?
At first, my parents were not so sure about it all. But it's been really phenomenal to watch their faith grow; they are so supportive now. My mom serves on the board of Amazima and my dad helps with fund-raising. Now that my younger brother is in college, my mom comes to stay with me for a few months each year. My dad also tries to visit about once a year. It's been fun to watch how God has grown my parents' faith, first to the point of just being accepting of my move to Uganda, and now to the point of them being so supportive of what God is doing here.
