In the 1950s, builders raised a one-story brick house in the scenic Bayview Acres neighborhood, one block from Charleston Harbor.
The owners added a second floor with vinyl siding 30 years later. While practical, the work wasn't so aesthetically pleasing, says Caroline deVlaming, agent with Places LLC in Mount Pleasant. "It was an eyesore," she says.
Eventually, 316 Bayview underwent a facelift. Sturdy fiber cement siding replaced the previous facades. Mahogany front doors set off the entrance.
The makeover reinvigorated the property, which sports a large front yard, tall oaks and a glimpse of the Intracoastal Waterway and Charleston Harbor. "You can see the shrimp boats go by," deVlaming says.
The 2,663-square-foot house with oversized lot went on the market about a month ago for $749,000. "We've had many showings," she says.
She promotes the property's location, which is in the first neighborhood in Mount Pleasant once crossing the Ravenel Bridge on Coleman Boulevard.
"The convenience is the No. 1 thing," deVlaming says. The five bedroom, two bath home falls within the zoning district for popular Mount Pleasant Academy public elementary school.
"With waterway views and mature oaks, this ½ acre lot gives an idyllic backdrop to this fabulous home," deVlaming says in a flyer for the listing.
As seen from the yard, the house boasts a multitude of windows with Charleston green shutters. Hardwood floors, wainscoting and crown molding provide the house with an upscale, polished air. The up-to-date kitchen showcases a full complement of white on white appliances.
An unusual feature of the property concerns the garage. The owners raised the garage to accommodate a larger than normal fishing boat with T-top, she says. They left a basketball goal at the pinnacle of the garage, which rises a prodigious 12 feet or so.
"It's great for storage and a boat," she says. Although the home isn't right on the water, the residence stands six houses from the Bayview Acres boat ramp. The neighborhood also comprises a playground and tennis courts.
The homeowners are a couple with two children, showing that the residence is suitable for a family, deVlaming says. A drawback would be that the house contains just two bathrooms. The master suite encloses the downstairs bathroom, and one upstairs bath serves four bedrooms. She says extra bathrooms could be installed without much of a problem, for instance in out-of-the-way loft space upstairs or by enclosing portions of the extra-large bedrooms. At least one of the second floor bedrooms, meanwhile, could be converted to a playroom.
"Situated across the street from Charleston Harbor, seconds away from the Ravenel Bridge and minutes from downtown and the beaches, this five bedroom home in the well-established Bayview Acres is not to be missed," she says in a listing flyer.
The residence sits at the eastern expanse of Bayview Acres, a row back from the houses fronting the ICW. Heading north, take the Ravenel Bridge to Mount Pleasant. Stay to the right and exit on Coleman Boulevard. Pass the turnoff to Patriot's Point. At the second traffic light, turn right on Garland Road into the neighborhood. Continue on Garland to the last street, which is Bayview Drive. Turn left, and ahead on the left is 316 Bayview Drive.

Executing Our Ideas: It's In the Details
- By Guest Author

By Joel Eby
When designing for the Web, how important is it to begin with a brilliant idea for a web-site? Can a quality site be built if the underlying concept is weak? And what happens to a brilliant idea if its execution is less-than amazing?
Many hold that execution is a secondory factor to the concept. I believe the opposite argument can be made – it's not a great idea that counts most, but great execution.
Now don't get me wrong – there has to be an idea in there somewhere. As designers we can't go about designing without a plan. It is vital to have a concept to rally around as we craft our designs. But the notion that great work requires a completely unique, brilliant concept every time is, I believe, misguided.
Ideas should be solid – even if they're simple. They should be focused on giving our execution a goal. Developing an idea is important, but the bulk of our energy ought to be aimed at execution. If a designer takes care to make sure to execute on the basics – typography, composition, hierarchy, communication – and aims for a clear but simple goal, great work will result.

Super Duper Alice Cooper (2014)
Saturday, July 5, 7:30 p.m.
Tickets: $12 (SPPAC Members save 10-20%. Become a Member Today!)
Doc-Opera premieres April 22 at Tribeca Film Festival. Vincent Furnier, preacher's son, struck fear into the hearts of parents everywhere as Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre. From the advent of Alice as frontman for a group of Phoenix freaks in the sixties, to the hazy decadence of celebrity in the seventies, to the winking comeback as glam metal godfather in the eighties, one will watch in wonder as Alice and Vincent battle for each other's soul. The story is told in the form of a "doc opera," a dizzying blend of documentary and rock opera that combines audio interviews with a bounty of Alice Cooper archive footage. Alongside the hits that defined an era, overlooked gems of Alice Cooper's playbook, and scenes from vintage scary movies serving as allegories for Alice's madness, are melded into montages that soundtrack his life.

now I see bids totaling 632 sh. @45.70it figures!
OK, the buy order's gone. We can really go to town if it drops much below 40!
OK, I'll cancel the order to buy 1000 @41.41...
pjv:You killed them. The bid is now $.01.
Maybe we'll get some bad news.
I'd rather see success and regular dividend increases since I still own some shares, even after selling the 1265 from the IRA.
This year is a very different game from last, supply-and-demand wise. There were many more options expiring by y/e 2005 than are even outstanding now. Even if option holders wanted to jump the gun, they couldn't generate the kind of selling they were forced into last year.

The Auburn Tigers have fired head coach Gene Chizik (via ESPN), and while the change was necessary, the program is going to have to scramble to try to keep his 2013 recruiting class intact.
Change at the coaching position is never a good thing for recruiting, so Auburn needs to do all it can to bring in a coach that will not only be a good fit for the future, but one that will be a big enough draw to keep most or all of their current recruits interested in the program.
It's a very delicate situation, but these five coaches would all be great options for the future, and they'd also help keep the 2013 class together.

Las Vegas Review-Journal, November 15, 2010
In an effort to help treat out-of-control and undiagnosed hypertension -- the second leading cause of death in the United States -- Las Vegas physician Kevin C. Petersen set up an Internet practice this past summer for uninsured patients around the country.
But his BPClinic.com could cost the doctor his license and result in a felony conviction that both lands him in the slammer and lightens his wallet.
"I don't look at myself as a criminal," he said. "This work is important. I believe I'm on the right side of things. Too many people can't afford to pay $100 or more for a doctor visit to get a prescription."

Improving Cutaneous Sensation and Balance in People with MS
The Multiple Sclerosis Research Group at the University of Massachusetts is conducting a study funded by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society that examines the effects of enhancing sensation of the feet on standing balance in people with and without MS.
Participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires as well as physical tests including walking short distances at moderate and brisk paces, repeatedly standing from a chair and performing foot taps while seated, sensation testing of the feet and functional standing tasks while blindfolded (quiet standing, heel-toe stance, forward and backward reaching and leaning). During the standing tests we will apply an undetectable, non-invasive vibration to the soles of the feet using small vibration devices embedded in shoe soles that have been shown to increase skin sensitivity and balance. These tests take place in the Motor Control Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and will last for approximately 3 hours.
We are currently recruiting:
- Females or males who are between 21 and 65 years of age
- With or without a diagnosis of MS
- Do not use an ambulation device for normal daily activities although may have some occasional use of aids
- Able to walk unaided at self-determined normal and brisk paces and can stand for 20 - 30 minutes
Participants will receive $25 following completion of the study

Ancient Egypt's Adydos Passion Play and other texts of that time employed plot elements that indicate they derived from even more ancient
ritualized reenactments of the coming of spring and celebration of vegetative rebirth.
When theatre historians speak of the "Greek theatre" they are speaking specifically about
Athens in the fifth century B.C.
The dithyrambos was
an ancient, drunken, dance-chant fertility ritual that celebrated the birth of the wine god.
From the Greek word for dancing, what was the name given to the rectangular or circular ground-level playing space in Greek theatre used primarily by the chorus?
From the word for hut or tent, the Greek version of dressing room was a wooden changing room called the
18. The device by which the playwright offers revelations about past events in the play or characters' lives is called
Catharsis refers to an experience at the end of a tragedy in which the audience feels
a purgation of the feelings of pity and fear and a cleansing of emotions.
Which of the following would NOT describe the experience of catharsis experienced by an audience?
it excites emotions, preparing spectators for vigorous or violent social action outside the theatre
Which of the following is true of Titus Maccius Plautus (c.254-184 B.C.)?
His twenty-one plays are fast-paced, joke-filled, lusty stage romps filled with songs.
Which of the following is true of Publius Terentius Afer (c.190-159 B.C.)?
This freed African slave wrote six comedies, based on Greek models, that were highly prized during the Middle Ages for their rhetorical excellence and philosophic depth.
Although much Middle Eastern Drama had disappeared by the third century, the spread of Islam, beginning in the seventh century, provided fertile ground there for the development of live actor and puppet theatre in the Middle Ages.

My wife and I love living in the Bitterroot.
Back in 1996 we were at the north end of a 3000 mile, self-contained mountain bike trip along the Continental Divide, and had seen oodles of beautiful country. But from the moment we dropped down from Gibbons Pass into Sula, laid our eyes upon the jagged Bitterroot Mountains, we were hopelessly smitten.
Since then we've travelled many thousands of miles on foot, bike and ski, exploring the nooks and crannies of Bitterroot National Forest (BNF) lands. We cherish these public lands, are humbled, and never take them for granted.
All's not perfect though. There are challenges and threats to the integrity of BNF lands. Some, like noxious weeds, are obvious, well-documented, and often confronted "head-on." Others, like recreation in its many forms, are more subtle and less monitored by the BNF. It's challenging to strike the right balance between disparate recreational activities and user groups, and their environmental impacts.
At the core, recreational opportunities need to exist across user groups, provided laws are followed and natural resources and wildlife aren't jeopardized. This applies whether you're fishing, hiking, hunting, ATVing, snowmobiling, whatever. Or, if you're rock climbing.
Right now the integrity of natural resources, wildlife, and recreational parity is at risk in the Bitterroot's Mill Creek Canyon due to uncontrolled, unsustainable sport rock climbing. And laws are being broken.
I am absolutely not against rock climbing. I've climbed many times, in awe-inspiring places like Joshua Tree and the Dolomites. But with any activity on National Forest lands, laws and ethics should be reasonably followed, and recreational desires shouldn't trump resources or wildlife, nor ruin other folks' experiences. Sadly that's what's happening in the Mill Canyon area.
My wife and I live near Mill, recreate there constantly, and have seen the dramatic changes firsthand: establishment of illegal, user-created climbers' trails with frequent "maintenance;" erosion, trash, illegal gear caching, displacement of peregrines up-canyon, fewer mountain goats, suffocating parking issues, denuding of plant life at cliff bases, and the innumerable climbing bolts, slings, ropes, etc. Mill's become a trashed outdoor climbing gym in just a few years.
Folks have climbed in Mill Canyon for decades. This past climbing has generally been respectful, sustainable, and ethical. But starting about 5 years ago, a handful of dedicated sport climbers have made it their mission to bolt-out Mill's rock faces.
Things reached a head last summer after a Ravalli Republic article profiled the adventurous Mill climbing exploits of Michael Moore and UM Professor of Forestry and Environmental Ethics, Dane Scott. In the article there were many incriminating admissions made–direct evidence of violations of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Enough was enough, so my wife and I went as private citizens, unaffiliated with any organization, to BNF authorities. Others had complained too, including local climbers.
We met with District Ranger Dan Ritter. After investigating the matter, Ritter sent Scott and Moore a letter outlining resource concerns (erosion, impacts on plants and wildlife) and CFR violations, including damaging natural features and constructing/maintaining a trail without authorization.
The letter was essentially a "cease and desist" request. It demanded immediate cessation of permanent bolting, deemed illegal by BNF legal counsel.
In fairness, the legality of bolting on National Forest lands outside Wilderness is ambiguous. There seems to be no Forest-wide policy. Citations have been issued for fixed anchor placement on other Forests. It seems up to the individual Forest's discretion, based on their interpretation of the CFR – provided there are no significant adverse impacts related to the activity.
What's clear in Mill is that resources are being damaged, violations of law are occurring, and wildlife is being displaced. Local homeowners are affected from the high-volume traffic, other recreationists are impacted, and there's an enormous liability issue regarding the questionable climbing hardware being permanently installed.
The sport climbers continue to be on a PR blitz and want the rest of us to overlook the negative impacts of unfettered, unsustainable climbing in a popular, wildlife-sensitive canyon. To this day, laws and ethics continue to be broken and marred; natural resources degraded. Where's the accountability?
You can bet your bottom dollar that if, instead of climbers, it were known ATV'ers constructing illegal motorized trails, putting in jumping ramps, harassing wildlife, damaging resources, and then boasting about it in the media, then the Forest Service wouldn't tolerate it, and would be all over it. Why the double standard?
Rock climbing can be a fun, ethical, sustainable, and lawful recreational activity on the BNF. Now, it's out-of-control and causing too much harm. Mill Canyon is in the cross-hairs.
The BNF needs to get out in front on this burgeoning issue; take a leadership role, and hold the responsible parties accountable.
We concerned Bitterrooters want a more natural, intact Mill Canyon once again, with all its falcons, goats, and myriad sustainable recreational opportunities; not metallic-covered rock walls in a canyon void of wildlife but festooned with the latest neon climbing ropes and shiny hardware.

Greenberg column on Kansas' journey
ST. LOUIS — Nothing personal, Roy. Tyshawn Taylor broke out of his slump in a big way Sunday, scoring 22 points and leading Kansas back to the Final Four with a victory over former coach Roy Williams and top-seeded North Carolina.
As the game ended, Taylor — much maligned for his shooting struggles during the first three games of the NCAA tournament — ran to Kansas fans and raised both arms in the air.
Taylor led five Jayhawks in double figures. Player of the year candidate Thomas Robinson added 18 points and nine rebounds, and Elijah Johnson kept up his blistering pace in the tournament with 10 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:07 to play that sparked Kansas' 12-0 run to end the game. Jeff Withey made two monster blocks to deny the Tar Heels during the run — including one that set up a big three-point play by Taylor.
Taylor came up with the rebound after Withey swatted away a shot by John Henson and streaked downcourt for a layup, getting fouled by Stilman White in the process. As the Kansas-heavy crowd roared, Taylor butted his head into Robinson's chest. He made the free throw to give Kansas a 74-67 lead with 1:59 left, and the Jayhawks cruised from there.

DeCourcy column on Calipari's reign
ATLANTA — Anthony Davis is fine. It looked frightening for a moment. Maybe more than a moment. It looked as though Kentucky might be headed toward the 2012 NCAA Final Four without the Sporting News national player of the year. Davis left Sunday's game briefly with what the team eventually termed a "contusion" in his left knee.
With Kentucky ahead 44-22, Davis went down after he drove for a layup with 18:38 left and landed awkwardly on his left knee. He was in obvious pain for several minutes and held the knee with both hands, but after he was examined by UK medical officials he was able to limp to the bench.
Having been fouled on the play, Davis was unable to take his free throws and they instead were shot by sophomore forward Terrence Jones, who was chosen from among UK players on the floor by Baylor coach Scott Drew.
Davis was attended to on the UK bench for several minutes, had a balm rubbed on his knee and returned soon afterward, at first with noticeable discomfort as he jogged and ran. But eventually he resumed something close to his normal degree of effectiveness. He picked up two impressive blocks and two rebounds but did not score.
With 9:51 left in the game, a controversy developed regarding whether Davis had committed his fourth personal foul or his third. Kentucky's bench insisted it was only three, but the official book and the fourth official both had him for four.
Davis left the game at that point, not for injury purposes but to avoid disqualification. Three minutes later he returned and helped close the game even though Kentucky's lead never fell below double digits. He finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks. He departed with 33 seconds left -- bleeding from the lip. It was not an easy day.

This place is popular with Panamanian holiday makers and boasts a resort, of sorts. Once again we found ourselves anchoring near a small yacht flying a kiwi flag..................my god they are everywhere! "Double Brauyn", really a play on the word Double Brown which of course we were the only ones to get the meaning.
We had yet to check into Panama so were somewhat wary of official looking boats, so image our reaction when first thing next morning there is a helicopter overhead, three gun boats roar into the anchorage and a Coast Guard vessel is standing off
We quietly upped anchored and moved on, as you would. We sailed on down the coast to Portobello and dutifully checked in the next day. Rumours had been flying around on the radio net as to the cost of checking in. Rules have just been changed and we'd been told to expect a charge of $193. for a cruising permit (lasts a year) and the new visa charge of $110.00 per person.
However the Port Captain in Portobello is very cruiser friendly, he stamped us in for $20.00 and instructed us to present ourselves at immigration in Colon at our earliest convenience.
Portobello was an interesting place. Discovered by Christopher Colombus and safe harbour for ships ever since. Here gold was traded out of the Americas and for over a hundred years saw a third of the worlds gold pass through the gold exchange building. Surrounded by 400 year old forts now guarded by vultures it was fascinating wandering around.

BRANCHVILLE - Todays test of the states new voter I.D. law seemingly is going on without incident during a special election to fill a vacant seat on the local Town Council.
More than 120 people have turned out so far with most mechanically providing their drivers license at the check-in table when asked to show photographic evidence of who they are.
The Legislatures photo I.D. law officially took effect Jan. 1 after a federal court review and a bitter partisan fight in the Statehouse. Republicans argued the change would curb instances of fraud, while Democrats said South Carolina has found little evidence of voter fraud or that its even a problem in the state. They contend the effect would be to suppress participation among minorities, the elderly and the poor.
Meanwhile, Tuesdays vote was closely watched by Washington, D.C., as two representatives of the U.S. Justice Departments civil rights and voting division were on site in this Orangeburg County community watching the day unfold.
Representatives of the ACLU, the League of Women Voters and the NAACP, all of which had raised criticisms about the I.D. requirement, were not seen at the towns lone polling site during the first half of the day.
If there was an issue today it was from the several people who showed up not knowing the new requirement was in effect and having left their photo I.D.s in their cars.
Its more trouble than its worth, said one elderly woman who had to go back and retrieve hers.
While Tuesdays vote was the first official test of the I.D. requirement, the first big and local Charleston area use will be the March 19 special primary and May election to fill the five-county 1st Congressional District vacancy created when Tim Scott was chosen by Gov. Nikki Haley as the states new U.S. senator.
Three candidates are on the Branchville ballot to fill the council vacancy. The candidates included Charlene Norris Negron, Sammie Whisenhunt and Luvenia Williams.
All three are vying to fill the remainder of the term of Glenn Miller, who became mayor after Tim Cooner died during the summer.

May 26 is Memorial Day, a day set aside every year to honor those who have died serving in the armed forces. And, what better way to honor those who gave their lives so valiantly than to honor those who have returned wounded and emotionally hurt from their years of service in the military.
I have friends who lost a son in Iraq, and I have friends who have lost their sons after they returned home from their tours of duty, succumbing to the pressures of post traumatic stress syndrome. And, while I can't help every soldier who needs help I can support different organizations that support them.
My favorite is the Wounded Warriors Project. Their mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors so that they don't become a forgotten casualty of war. They do this by raising the country's awareness of their needs and by helping injured service members to help each other. They also supply direct needs and services to the injured warrior and their family.
While I have never been a proponent of war I have always admired soldiers - the brave men and women who give unselfishly of themselves to help make a better world for others.
When I was in college and living in California, I remember the soldiers coming home from Vietnam. While they were never met with a heroes welcome I always thought we should have done more. And, when I say "we," I really mean me.
I remember one of my friends at the time came home with his legs so messed up from a piece of shrapnel hitting them that he never could walk normal again.
I would always listen to him talk about how much they hurt and how he couldn't get certain thoughts and pictures out of his mind, but I really didn't understand. I just wanted him to hurry up and say what he had to say about his wounds so I could say something that I thought would make him feel all better. Something like, "Yeah, but look at you. You survived and a lot of others didn't."
When I look back on those times I wish he had an organization to turn to like Wounded Warriors Project who have mentors and friends that really know how he felt and knew exactly what he is going through.
I also went to school with some of the returning soldiers who just never seemed to fit in. I guess not, for while me and my friends were listening to Bob Dylan and Country Joe and the Fish, singing songs about the no good war they were trying to survive the no good war. So when they went back to school after a tour of duty it must have seemed strange to them to listen to all the protest songs and such.
After years of maturing I realized how horrible war was for soldiers. It wasn't just a protest song to them, it was war. It was hot, down and dirty war.
So now I want to personally thank all soldiers for defending my right to live long enough to know that sometimes soldiers need our help when they heroically return home and have to start re-living their once "normal" lives.

TargetLink is a software system that generates production code (C code) straight from the MATLAB®/Simulink/Stateflow graphical development environment.
Before they developed their new tractor transmission, CLAAS Industrietechnik (CIT) did not have any experience in model-based software development. In the end, the product surpassed even their highest expectations. Part of this success story: the powerful tools from dSPACE.
Together with the TargetLink Strategic Partner Model Engineering Solutions, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America developed automatically testable conformity rules for modeling with dSPACE TargetLink, which comply with important requirements of the ISO 26262 standard.
A new assistance system for CLAAS combine harvesters permanently monitors the harvesting process and automatically adjusts the machine settings to the current conditions – faster and more exactly than an operator ever could.
This webinar focuses on efficient and integrated verification of non-functional requirements for production code and object code. The static analyzers from AbsInt are used to compute worst-case execution time/stack usage and to detect run-time errors and can be invoked automatically from TargetLink models. This leads to a small analysis configuration effort and to more precise analysis results.
This webinar focuses on automated guideline checking and model analysis with the MES Model Examiner and MES M-XRAY to ensure transparent and easily inspectable TargetLink models.
Model-based design and automatic code generation are the most efficient methods for developing embedded system software and complying with the requirements of DO-178C. dSPACE's modern code generator, TargetLink®, and its associated tool chain provide a unique development environment for embedded systems that will have an immediate impact on your software quality, process efficiency, and the certification process. Attend this webinar to learn more!
More and more extensive functionalities are being developed in work groups that consist of a large number of software developers from various development partners – a great challenge for the development process. A reliable tool chain for efficient, model-based software development is therefore crucial. Simulink/TargetLink and the tools by Model Engineering Solutions provide a tailor-made solution.
In model-based development, software is developed at a high level of abstraction, i.e., as a model, and the C code implementation is automatically generated from the model. The high degree of abstraction allows intuitive application development and increases the efficiency of development. However, to verify system safety, it is not enough to regard only the model level; the properties of the C code and even of the binary machine code also have to be investigated.
New product versions or modified IT infrastructures invariably mean that existing models and functions have to be migrated to a new version of MATLAB®, TargetLink® or Windows®. BTC Embedded Systems AG, a TargetLink Strategic Partner, provides an easy, highly integrated and completely automated solution: the BTC EmbeddedTester Migration Suite.
Model-based design has become the established development method across many industries. And production code generation is the logical step for turning models into efficient, production-ready code. TargetLink is a software system that generates production code (C code) straight from the MATLAB®/Simulink/Stateflow graphical development environment. Code generation options range from plain ANSI C code to optimized fixed- or floating-point code for certain processors. Versatile code configuration options ensure that the production code copes with processor constraints.
The TargetLink Data Dictionary is a data container that centrally holds the relevant information for a model's design, code generation, and implementation on an ECU. Data Dictionary objects can be referenced from TargetLink models. You can define and manage variables and corresponding properties, and you can specify structured data types and use them for variable declarations.Simulation Modes for Testing
One of the advantages of model-based development is that you can use simulation for early verification. TargetLink not only generates code for production ECUs, it also greatly simplifies the testing process.Autoscaling of Variables
If TargetLink® is to generate only floating-point code, autoscaling is not necessary. However, if TargetLink is used to generate fixed-point code, autoscaling can be a huge time-saver. What took days and weeks in the past can now be done in minutes and hours.Efficient Coding
Efficiency is the key to production-quality code. Efficient code means that a minimum of execution time and resources is required to run the code on a cost-efficient embedded processor. Code generated by TargetLink is proven to be as efficient as handwritten code.TargetLink Product Support Center
The TargetLink Product Support Center is the primary online resource for TargetLink developers and provides information about TargetLink releases, compatibility information, application notes, additional utilities, TargetLink Known Problem Reports, etc.
dSPACE provides a workflow document that explains how to use TargetLink in a model-based tool chain for DO-178C-compliant projects.
TargetLink® does not just generate code, it also automatically documents exactly what it does, in perfect consistency with the model and the code. Many of our customers find they save a lot of time by generating the documentation in this way. And what is more, the documentation is always up-to-date.Third-Party Tools and Services for TargetLink
TargetLink has a range of complementary products and services that are typically used in a model-based design tool chain.

KDE Wants Open Cloud
A new subproject named ownCloud has emerged from the KDE Camp 2010 conference in San Diego.
KDE developer Frank Karlitschek presented ownCloud, the first real extension of his Social Desktop initiative. Users today no longer have applications only on their desktop, but from numerous online services; however, it's proven difficult (to impossible) for users to combine these apps, such as blogger weblogs with Yahoo graphics.
Help should come from an open technical standard for social online networks and related services. When enough providers start implementing the interface, users can have more independent control of their data and maintain their own clouds. The first potential participant in ownCloud is reportedly Maemo.org and the KDE forums. The technology could contribute to the KDE Get Hot New Stuff (GHNS) framework together with the openSUSE build service.
The ownCloud team currently has ahomepage and a Git repository;. The next two months should produce version 1.0, including a WebDAV interface under an open source license.

Please welcome Dr.
Adrian Codel, a CDS member and general dentist who practices on
Chicago's north side. Today Dr. Codel discusses how dentists can
exchange dental care for other services through a bartering
association.Clean house for clean teeth.
That's right, when I clean a patient's teeth, I get my house
cleaned. That is because I have incorporated bartering into my
dental practice. By definition "barter usually replaces money as
the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, when the currency is
unstable and devalued by hyperinflation."
While hyperinflation may not be the case today, I believe monetary
crisis is.
Now I am not talking about a handshake deal where services are
directly exchanged. I am talking about bartering as a great
marketing tool using organized barter and trade associations. In
this case, you sign up for a trade association. Someone else who
belongs to that association sees you listed and makes an
appointment. They owe you $500 for the procedure. Instead of paying
cash, $500 is transferred from their barter account to yours. Now
you have $500 to spend on any item or service within the
organization, regardless of what services the patient provides.
Now, if this patient is happy she may refer you two cash-paying
patients and post a nice review on Yelp! Your traditional marketing
model and discounts were not needed.
So how do you spend the $500? Here are some examples of things I
have used my barter/trade dollars on. For my practice: dental labs,
ink and toner, document shredding, clinical equipment repair, floor
refinishing, message on hold system even OSHA training and
compliance. For personal use: limo service, Lake Geneva hotels,
restaurants, concert tickets. That's right, I even have my own
entertainment concierge that can get me sporting, theater and
concert tickets, all through barter.
The income is taxable as revenue and proper documentation is
received by year's end. The downside is that you need to decide how
often or when you want to schedule these patients. I have noticed
some dentists allow appointments during off-peak hours. Others only
allow 1-2 patients at a time until treatment is completed. You can
also dictate what percentage of treatment is barter and what
percentage is cash. This covers lab expenses, for instance. It took
me several months to figure out how to spend the "money" but now I
find it fun and a little bit of a treasure hunt. There is a minimal
transaction fee in order to keep the barter organization
Admittedly, it is not for everyone, but since the dentist can
control the exposure and frequency, it is a fun, low-cost way to
attract patients and reduce the amount of cash being taken out of
your business bank account.
The two organizations I am most familiar with are: Art of Barter, which
is restricted to the Chicago area, and IMS, which is nationwide.

dumplings… or should i say jiaozi...
growing up, dumplings were always the best thing about some of the soups that my mum used to make. chicken and vegetable soup with fluffy dumplings was a comforting dream of a dish. i still occasionally indulge myself but all too often chicken stock and leftovers get turned into a healthier miso broth which is served with noodles.
however, i have a new plan – chinese dumplings! in honour of the recent chinese new year celebrations i have been looking east for inspiration and i made up a couple of batches of jiaozi. both were scented with ginger and spring onion but half were a combination of pork mince and prawn while the others were prawn and wood ear mushroom. both were served in broth made from good homemade prawn stock and both were delicious.
i'm now planning an afternoon making up several batches of dumplings which can be frozen and then quickly served in broth, steamed or shallow-fried. my cooking mojo is back, with a bang, and it's all thanks to dumplings!

P J Harvey
On the fourth album from Polly Jean Harvey and the band bearing her name, the British singer-guitarist uses blues, punk, folk and rockabilly to build riveting songs steeped in primal emotion. The layers of abrasive guitars that characterized 1992's Rid of Me are mostly gone, but this is still plenty raucous: Harvey's acoustic guitar on "Send His Love to Me" is so intense that most amped-up hard-rock sounds laid-back by comparison. Her basic theme, obsessive love, is normally the province of wimps and waifs, but romantics beware: love songs this ferocious may inspire vows of celibacy among the fainthearted. When she sings "I've lain with the devil/ Cursed God above/ Forsaken heaven/ To bring you my love" on the title track, you believe every word. And when she adopts the persona of a desperate mother begging her son's father to come home in "C'mon Billy," she becomes every woman who has ever loved too much. But gender be damned; Harvey's raw, dense music rivals that of Bob Dylan himself for sheer gut-wrenching melodrama. (Island)

Bishop Franklin Delton Turner, 80, of Elkins Park, the first African American to become a bishop suffragan, or auxiliary bishop, of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, died Tuesday, Dec. 31, of prostate cancer at his home.
With his Oct. 7, 1988, consecration, Bishop Turner became the first person of color to receive such a post in the then-205-year history of the diocese that includes Philadelphia and the four surrounding Pennsylvania counties.
"Father, make Frank a bishop in your church," the bishops prayed during the service. "Pour out upon him the power of your princely spirit."
Bishop Turner, then 54, donned the miter, the liturgical headdress of a bishop, and accepted the crosier, a staff symbolizing the authority of the office.

As if things weren't heated enough during rivalry week, students at Clemson and South Carolina lit a fire under the other school's mascots Monday night.
Gamecocks fans burned a 30-foot-tall tiger as part of a tradition that's more than a century old while Clemson fans held a funeral for Cocky, before lighting it on fire.

Term used in prison for white inmates in prison, used by other minorities as a racist comment, eventually the term was adopted by white supremacist gangs in the prison system as a name for one of their gangs.
Term comes from wood pecker, because they normally have red hair, and whites are the only people who have red hair.

WITH Chinese and Asian investors on the prowl in Africa, local companies will have only themselves to blame if they fail to realise that the continent is ripe with opportunities, delegates attending a roundtable on investing in Africa heard yesterday.
Cash-flush Chinese state companies are offering generous discounts and incentives to win business, targeting investments in areas like infrastructure, telecommunications and mining to fill the vacuum left by US and European investors who have been forced to focus on home markets as a result of the global recession.
Yesterday, delegates to the roundtable, organised by Nedbank and Duke Corporate Education, agreed that Africa, with its population of nearly 1-billion, was an attractive option, particularly for South African companies that had burnt their fingers venturing further afield in countries such as Australia and the US.
Pick n Pay recently announced it was selling its underperforming Australian supermarket chain, Franklins, to unlisted Metcash Trading for R1,4bn.
"There are interesting opportunities in Africa, and South African companies are beginning to redefine their strategies rather than going into Australia, and are changing their Eurocentric mindset," said Nedbank chief operating officer Graham Dempster, whose bank has a strategic alliance with Nigerian bank Ecobank.
He said SA should take advantage of changing perceptions towards Africa as a result of the success of the World Cup to seek investment opportunities.
"We have changed people's perceptions about SA and Africa, and first-time visitors to the continent have been impressed with what they have seen," Mr Dempster said.
Massmart CEO Grant Pattison said it would be a mistake to take Africa as one market because each country was unique, had its own character, its own problems and opportunities.
"We should not be either Afro- pessimists or Afro-optimists. Let's treat each country as an individual and unique investment opportunity ," Mr Pattison said.
Massmart, which generates about R5bn in turnover annually from its operations outside SA, recently acquired a business in Mozambique and Namibia.
Liberty Life's CEO for Africa, Bernard Katomba, said the continent was open for business but warned companies to treat each market differently.
"Africa is a continent and not a country, and every single country has its own dynamics and realities. For investors to succeed, they have to understand that," he told Business Day.

According to Jim Irsay's informative Twitter account, the Colts have signed veteran cornerback Justin King, who started 12 games for St. Louis last season. The Colts were rumored to be looking at King a few weeks ago, but nothing came out of it until today.
King was Pro Football Focus' worst graded cornerback last season, with a negative 22.6 grade. Yes, worse than Jacob Lacey, worse than Kevin Thomas, and worse than Chris Rucker (although I would still argue that Lacey is merely an average to slightly below average corner).
However, King was not meant to be starting. He is a decent slot cornerback, where he was supposed to play. Unfortunately, injuries forced him to start, much like Lacey was forced into a starting role he didn't deserve to be in in 2010. When he had more of a third corner role in 2010, he came out with an average grade of +0.4 for the season. Even last year, he had a terrible first half of the season, and then settled down in the second half.
King has his strengths, one of which is run stops as a cornerback (a primary function of slot corners). According to PFF, he was the 7th rated cornerback in run stops. King also has elite speed, running a 4.31 forty in 2008.
King isn't the answer to the Colts' question at cornerback #2, but he does bring more experience to the group, and will compete for that second or third spot.
The question now is who gets cut? Between King, Cassius Vaughn, Kevin Thomas, Chris Rucker, and Terrence Johnson, the Colts have a lot of young unproven talent, and likely will cut at least one of the five. With work they've done in OTAs, I would guess that Rucker or Vaughn has the greatest chance at getting cut at this point. However, it could realistically be any of the five, and I wouldn't bat an eye.

Take vacation on the lake
The Pavilion Bar & Grill is an authentic Key West-style, open-air bar located on the famous strip in the Ohio resort town of Geneva-on-the-Lake.
Since the days when Geneva was the preferred campsite getaway for some of America's wealthiest men -- John D. Rockefeller, Harvey Firestone and Henry Ford -- this unique village has drawn tens of thousands of travelers to the shores of Lake Erie.
The Pavilion was built by owner Butch LaRiche in 1990. The structure is a two-story-deck, open-air pavilion that offers views of the lake, a gentle breeze and some very cold beer.
"We don't have any refrigerated coolers at the bar," LaRiche said. "All our beer is stored on ice. So when you ask for a cold beer, it's an ice-cold beer."
The Pavilion mostly caters to a biker crowd. The parking lot, also known as the "Hog Pen," offers preferred parking for motorcycles.
Bike Week in Geneva-on-the-Lake, otherwise known as Thunder on the Strip, takes place this year Sept. 5 through Sept. 8, and the Pavilion will be jammed.
"We can fit over 200 bikes in our little parking lot, and it's full the whole week," LaRiche said. "The upstairs deck is the best place in town to watch the bikes roll up and down the strip."
Contests to win coveted Pavilion T-shirts and colorful, beaded necklaces are an annual tradition during Thunder on the Strip weekend.
The menu at the Pavilion is a source of pride for LaRiche. Naturally, the Harley Burger -- featuring hot or mild Jack Daniels sauce -- is a big seller. The most popular menu item, though, is definitely the bar's own delicious white pizza.
"People love our homemade pizza," LaRiche said. "The garlic-white pizza is everybody's favorite. But anything that comes with our secret-recipe marinara sauce is also pretty good."
The Surf Motel, adjacent to the bar, is also owned by LaRiche. It has 17 rooms that are almost always filled on weekends.
So get on the road to Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio, and stop by the Pavilion Bar & Grill. The breezy, open-air tavern will give you a lift. As LaRiche said, "It makes you feel like you're on vacation."

EVANSTON, Ill. - Following are the highlights and lowlights from Penn State's 34-24 victory over Northwestern on Saturday night at Ryan Field:
Play of the game: On first down at the Nittany Lions' 23 and Northwestern driving to start the third quarter, Dan Persa was intercepted by Gerald Hodges, who returned it 63 yards to the Wildcats' 20. On the next play, Penn State took a 34-24 lead.
Offensive player of the game: Penn State tailback Silas Redd rushed for 164 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown. He averaged 9.1 per attempt.
Article Photos
The Associated Press
Penn State's Silas Redd picks up some yards during the first half.
Defensive player of the game: Along with his interception, Hodges made a career-high 14 tackles, including 1.5 for loss.
Most telling statistic: The Lions recorded seven sacks.
Hidden statistic: PSU has allowed just nine points in the third quarter all year.
Best run: Redd burst 44 yards to the Northwestern 12 late in the first half, setting up the Nittany Lions' go-ahead touchdown with seven seconds remaining.
Best pass: PSU quarterback Matt McGloin uncorked a 45-yard touchdown to Devon Smith, leading him perfectly and tying the game at 7-7.
Worst pass: McGloin missed a wide-open Michael Zordich on second-and-goal from the Northwestern in the first quarter.
Best catch: Smith snagged a 10-yard slant pass in traffic, putting the Lions at the Wildcats' 2 with 11 seconds left in the first half.
Catch it, will ya: Penn State's receivers had no big drops, but Northwestern's Jeremy Ebert dropped a TD pass in the fourth quarter that would have cut Penn State's lead to 34-31.
Hold it, won't ya: After a 30-yard return, Chaz Powell coughed up the opening kickoff that Northwestern recovered at the PSU 34.
Best move: Smith juked a Northwestern corner in the open field and turned a flanker screen into a 21-yard gain in the second quarter.
Best call(s): Penn State kept sending Hodges on blitzes in the fourth quarter.
Worst call: That's easy. On third-and-2 from the Northwestern 34, up 34-24 with Redd averaging 10 yards a carry, does the Lion braintrust go for the knockout punch with a run that the Wildcats can't stop? No. It drops McGloin back, and he's dumped for a 20-yard loss, forcing a punt.
Best block(ing): Zordich kicked out the corner and sprung Redd's 20-yard touchdown run. He actually did it several times as Redd's escort.
Best tackle: Devon Still drove his man into Persa and sacked him for a 7-yard loss in the third quarter, forcing a punt.
Best hit: Northwestern safety David Arnold stood up Redd in the first quarter, closing a hole and limiting Redd to a 3-yard gain.
Best kick: Anthony Fera's 37-yard field goal put the Lions up 17-14.
Worst kick: Backup PSU punter Alex Butterworth shanked one 22 yards in the fourth quarter, but it did put Northwestern at its 18.
Worst penalty: Lion center Matt Stankewitch was hit with a 10-yard holding penalty that wiped out a touchdown to Stephfon Green on a second-quarter screen pass.
Best coverage: Nick Sukay deflected a pass in the end zone late in the second quarter, forcing a Northwestern field goal. Northwestern's Brian Peters did the same, breaking up a possible TD to Justin Brown.
Best effort: Northwestern backup quarterback Kain Colter does it all: He rushed nine times for 51 yards, caught six passes for 43 yards and was 2-for-2 passing for 18 yards.
Worst effort: Tying to win a promotional contest with a 25-yard field goal, a Northwestern fan dribbled one into the endzone. He was booed.
Unsung hero: PSU defensive tackle Jordan Hill deflected the interception that Hodges returned 63 yards.

The people you meet
September 6, 2013 - Darian Somers
Eastern Michigan week might be better than Northwestern week.
Or Ohio State last year. Or any other week for that matter.
Because the people who care about this the most are here.
Most of the people who are here camp out all year round, and they are the people that care the most, try to get the best seats and religiously count down until the new season or the next campout.
Just like with anything, there is a core group of people who care about this place, and those people are the people who do this every week. While Nittanyville loves newcomers, the core group of friends and officers weekly campout, meaning that we really get to know one another.
When you spend three days in a tent, you become close with the people you're neighbors with-- and during Eastern Michigan week or weeks that Penn State plays teams that the public eye doesn't care as much about, it's how you get to know the people.
There aren't as many random things going on as during a popular week. Like last year during the Northwestern campout, Bill O'Brien and the players came up. So you get "bored" when those things aren't going on. (I use "bored" loosely because you're never bored at Nittanyville.
And weeks like this are the reason why.
We sit around and we shoot the breeze. We watched the first NFL game last night. We've debated who the best linebacker in Penn State history is.
We've also talked about how we all have class that we all hate, and how badly we've wanted to get out of them.
You get to learn these peoples stories. And most of the time you get to learn the story of how people fall in love with Penn State football and Nittanyville. You get to hear the stories from the years before: Bama in 2011, Nebraska in 2011, Iowa 2009 and the days when Nittanyville didn't have a set of rules.
It doesn't happen often but you hear some of the stories from Ohio State 2005, but that's a very rare occurrence.
This is how you get to know these people, and by the time the year is over, they are all your closest friends.
I'm a sophomore at Penn State and an officer in Nittanyville, a student run organization that camps out before every home Penn State football game. Follow me on Twitter @StuffSomersSays for more updates from Gate A.

County must do better job protecting abused children
This letter is in response to The News article on the Abdifatah Mohamud child abuse case. This child felt so abused that he actually contacted 911 twice to report being abused at the hands of his stepfather, and reported that the situation was "life and death." Secondly, it was reported that he showed up at school with bruises, which were then reported to child protection workers.
Despite these warning signs, county workers "decided to handle the case in a less severe manner than a regular child-abuse case" and elected to keep the child in the home with the stepfather (i.e., the abuser). What I'd like to know, and probably many of us would like to know, is if you have a history along with documented evidence of a child repeatedly being abused, as reported by the school, how can you just leave that child in the home with his abuser? How was a tiny 9-year-old supposed to help himself?
Now this child is dead and County Executive Mark Poloncarz can only say, "We analyzed the Abdifatah Mohamud case and this report does not just analyze what the county did up to that point, but it also looks to see, what has the county done since then to try to avoid a similar situation? Sometimes, the conclusion is that nothing more could have been done."
Really? Nothing more could have been done? What about removing this child from the home and mandating this abuser to attend counseling and rehabilitation so that two lives weren't ruined and the course was intervened?
The county knew of this case at least a year before this child's death and, in my opinion, didn't do anything effective to protect him. If that's all the county can do, then no child is safe in this county while in the hands of such a monster. Shameful. This county needs to do better!

For Morgan Ray, the low point of Amarillo High's season arrived on a sunny Saturday in mid-October.
After lackluster outings at Duncanville and Pearland tournaments, the Lady Sandies found themselves on the wrong side of a two-match district losing skid, capped by an embarrassing four-game home defeat to their biggest rival, Tascosa.
"I know it was the bottom. I've never had that happen before," said the AHS senior defensive specialist, who along with Nicole Mahan are the last holdovers from Amarillo High's state title team in 2001. "That made us wake up and realize that we could lose."
And awaken they did.
After the Tascosa loss, the Lady Sandies reeled off four straight district wins, including convincing sweeps over Lubbock Coronado and Tascosa. Amarillo High's late-season charge prompted a three-way tie for the District 2-5A title, and the Lady Sandies garnered the No. 2 playoff seed on the heels of coin flip that took place at a fast-food restaurant in Plainview.
Tenth-ranked Amarillo High (24-10) finds itself in a familiar environment. The Lady Sandies will seek to punch their ticket to the Region I-5A semifinal when they play surprising El Paso Franklin (30-4) in the quarterfinals at 6:30 p.m. tonight at Midland Greenwood High School.
The winner advances to face the Arlington High/Keller winner. To refresh, the Lady Sandies lost to Arlington High 15-10, 15-13 in the same round in 2002.
Junior Kristin Schroder, in her first season as the varsity setter, said AHS hasn't been the same since losing to Tascosa.
"That was the bottom - that's when reality hit us," said Schroder, who is averaging more than eight assists per game. "We were playing as individuals and we weren't thinking about what we could do to make each other better. Now that we've gotten to know each other better, we feel more like a family."
Those looking at the Lady Cougars as another bump on the playoff road should beware. Franklin is among three El Paso teams alive in the playoffs. And the Lady Cougars have no intention of going home yet, Franklin head coach Flo Valdez said.
Franklin, which lost to Lubbock Coronado in the regional quarterfinals a year ago, is coming off an impressive four-game victory over Mansfield Summit in the area round.
Consistency has been a big factor for the Lady Cougars.
"El Paso has long been lost from the rest of the state of Texas," Valdez said. "We're so far away from everybody that nobody really recognizes what's going on over here, and they push us aside.
"The exposure to the other teams in the state of Texas was big for us."
Meanwhile, Amarillo High has been just as hot. The Lady Sandies swept El Paso Montwood in bidistrict, then ousted No. 8-ranked Midland High in area two days later.
Amarillo High's play at the net has been an integral part of its recent prosperity. Senior middle blocker Stephanie Magee and Kori Cooper have resembled brick walls, putting up numerous blocks and smashing their share of kills.
"We've all picked it up and played better," the 6-foot-1 Cooper said. "Other teams believe they have to watch our outside hitters (Jackie Strauss and Mahan) and that opens up a lot of stuff for us in the middle."

A new 90-second trailer has been released for Disney's "Maleficent". The story focuses on the horned female villain from the classic fairytale, played by Angelina Jolie in the film. The new trailer reveals a bunch of footage we haven't seen yet, giving us a better idea at how large a part fantasy will play in the film.
Continuing on the dark and gritty tone we've seen in the other materials thus far, a haunting version of "Once Upon a Dream" accompanies the trailer, which is sung by Lana Del Ray. Even with horns, Jolie looks absolutely stunning. How does one even accomplish that? I can't wait to see the "Wicked" treatment this film is going to take, bringing to life one of the best Disney villains of all-time in an untold story.
Do you like the new trailer? Let us know in the comments section below!
"Maleficent" hits AMC Theatres on May 30th
