Embattled Nev. police chief abruptly fired
The chief suspected he would be confronted when returning to work after a lengthy family leave
By Spencer Lubitz
Boulder City, Nev. — Boulder's City police chief has been fired. The city said Thomas Finn's employment with the City of Boulder City has been terminated, effective Monday.
Finn said he was returning for his first day of work after a lengthy family leave, when he was greeted by the city manager and city attorney who offered him the opportunity to resign. Finn said when he declined the offer, he was fired on the spot.
When asked about what's next for him, he said he's not going anywhere. He said he has more work to do in Boulder City and that he'll likely be seeing city officials again during a meeting with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Garden of Industry at LASM
Saturday, October 12, 2013 - Sunday, January 05, 2014
Baton Rouge, La
Coming to the Louisiana Art & Science Museum: the most recent installation by sculptors (and husband-and-wife artists) Cynthia Giachetti and Ben Diller explores the paradox between the ideals of nature and industry—concepts fundamental to the American dream. Giachetti's organic, sinuous ceramic forms stand in stark contrast to Diller's super-sized emblems fabricated out of wood. Working together yet independently, their collaborative work draws upon the myriad associations suggested by the juxtapositions of their very different sculptural forms. Tuesdays—Sundays at 100 South River Road. (225) 344-5272 or lasm.org.

The Modest are:
Andre Preview - Bass/Vocals
Richard Reid - Drums
Anton Goldapples - Guitar/ Lead Vocals
the chaps all worked for the same firm, but after their last big job together, Andre and Anton had to go 'away' for a while, something that original drummer Jason mysteriously managed to avoid...…until recently.
A chance meeting at lucky jims gentelmans drinking establishment with Richard Reid, formerly of popular beat combo The Jamm, led to him being taken on in the mistaken belief that he was Reed Richards of The Fantastic Four and that his super power of being able to stretch his body in any direction would prove useful in drawing in todays TV freakshow addicted audiences. Sadly they've had to settle just for him being good at hitting stuff in time.
And so The Modest continue, a band originally intended
to be based on their love of money.
However, their love of the music of The Small Faces,
The Who, The Action, The Kinks, The Jam, Northern Soul, Motown, Stax and more has eventually taken
over …to some extent....

Israel Risks New Turkish Ire with Recognition of Armenian GenocideBreaking News
The Israeli Parliament on Monday held its first public debate on whether to commemorate the Turkish genocide of Armenians nearly a century ago, an emotionally resonant and politically fraught topic for Israel, founded on the ashes of the Holocaust and trying to salvage frayed ties with Turkey.
The session resulted from a rare confluence of political forces — an effort under way for decades by some on the left to get Israel to take a leading role in bringing attention to mass murder, combined with those on the right angry at how Turkey has criticized Israel over its policies toward the Palestinians.

Fitzpatrick helps Lewas get tactical
By HUXLEY LOVAI
FORMER Australian international cricketer Cathryn Fitzpatrick, pictured, was in Port Moresby last week to help with the CPL Lewas training as they prepare for the women's cricket World Cup qualifiers in Sir Lanka.
Fitzpatrick is no stranger to PNG, having been involved with the Pacific MMI Legends Big Bash last year.
She has since then kept in touch and assisted the Lewas in their preparations for tournaments such as the regional qualifiers in Samoa.
Fitzpatrick is attached with Cricket Australia as a development officer for the women's game in Australia and this has also allowed her to provide the Lewas players and head coach Rodney Maha with much-needed technical assistance.
The natural flair and athleticism of the Lewas has always impressed Fitzpatrick and — according to the 48-year-old — all that is missing is the technical grounding of the players.
"The main focus is educating the players, how to contract a session for themselves, to work independently from the coach to make their game better," Fitzpatrick said.
"Obviously the coach is here to facilitate and guide the skill development, but in a game like cricket having one coach to a squad of 14 players, you can't focus on everybody," Fitzpatrick said.
"It is important that the Lewas change the way that they approach each game.
"We've done a lot of tactical awareness sessions, in the course of a game there are situations where you must consistently put your opponents under pressure.
"This includes the condition of the wicket, and using the bowlers that are best suited to take advantage of it."

Role of Angiogenic Factors in Neurodevelopment
Project details

Despite their distinct functions, the nervous and vascular systems share many more similarities and common principles than previously anticipated2. For example, factors involved in the development of the nervous system are also known to regulate blood vessel formation3. Conversely, the key angiogenic factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A, termed from hereon VEGF), as well as other members of its family such as VEGF-C and VEGF-D, and their receptors, are expressed in neuronal cells and participate in processes such as neurogenesis, neuronal migration, axon guidance, dendritogenesis and dendrite maintenance4-10. All these new findings bring up the new concept of an existing Neurovascular link controlling vascular and neurodevelopmental processes.
Despite these initial findings, still little is known about the biology of VEGF or of any other angiogenic factors in neurons, the signaling pathways that they activate and their functional role in neurodevelopment. Thus, this proposal aims to further investigate the role of angiogenic factors and their molecular signaling in neurodevelopment.
Determining how angiogenic molecules influence neuronal wiring, will shed new light in the understanding of the molecular control of neuronal development and the possible causes of neurodevelopmental disorders. Research in this field may suggest new strategies to treat those disorders and to promote axon regeneration after injury or disease.

text: Eddie Bush picked up his first guitar when he was four years old and it was "love at first strum". Mesmerized by its sound, Eddie spent hours strumming his father's "golf club trade in", and inspired by The Beatles, Elvis, the Osmond Brothers and Glen Campbell, Eddie began to develop his natural singing talent and gift for the guitar at a young age. Barely 12, Eddie discovered the larger-than-life theatrics of KISS and knew then that there was absolutely no question that music was his calling. Touring with renowned guitarist Eric Johnson and opening for artists such as Keith Urban, Ted Nugent, Sammy Hagar, Heart, Alison Krauss, Eddie Money, REO Speedwagon, Jefferson Starship, Georgia Satellites, Montgomery Gentry, Steve Morse, Delbert McClinton, Little River Band, and Charlie Daniels helped prepare Eddie for the national recognition he would receive from his 9/11 anthem "Spirit of America". Following that success, Eddie appeared live on Fox Channel's Fox & Friends as well as in our nation's capitol in front of 30,000 police officers and President Bush, where he performed his tribute to fallen police officers "The Thin Blue Line". In 2005, Eddie released his self-titled CD and the single "Hard to Stop a Train" garnered Eddie his first Billboard charting single. Shortly thereafter, Eddie became a member of a new trio, One Flew South, which was quickly signed to Decca/Universal. With collaborations from award-winning songwriters JD Souther, Darrell Scott and Marcus Hummon, One Flew South debuted its first album "Last of the Good Guys", which produced the Billboard Hot Country single "My Kind of Beautiful. In late 2011, Eddie released his first holiday album "Holiday Harmonies" and in 2012 released his much anticipated CALLOUSED HANDS. "I live my life in and around music. It's all I've ever known. The biggest reward is the energy I receive from all the effort that goes in to each project and performance. Music is an evolution. The path isn't always planned, but it is straight ahead!"

GULLANE, Scotland — By the time Tiger Woods finally made his way up to the 18th green, the bleachers were half empty and long shadows crept across the fairway. If Woods needed to be reminded how long this day was, the clock on the giant yellow scoreboard read 7:37 p.m. — more than five hours after he teed off.
The major championships are usually grinds, but for anyone playing in the afternoon Thursday the first round of the British Open proved more of a test than ever. The wind was blowing harder than expected, the golf course was drying up by the minute, and anything around par was a score to be respected.
And there was Woods, feeling awfully good about a 2-under 69 that had to give him hope his five-year drought in the major championships might come to an end this week on a golf course playing like it is in the middle of a drought.
"It was tough," Woods said. "The golf course progressively got more dried out and more difficult as we played. I'm very pleased to shoot anything even par or better."
A day that began with a near catastrophe off the first tee ended with a six-footer that found the center of the cup on the 18th green. Hardly surprising since Woods had 10 one-putts as he scrambled his way around the links course for one of the better scores of the afternoon.
He was three shots off the lead set by Zach Johnson, who was part of a morning surge of players who took advantage of easier conditions to set the pace. More importantly, perhaps, Woods has a morning tee time of his own Friday on a course that at least for the first day was set up to favor the early players.
"The guys that played early had a huge, huge break," Phil Mickelson said after shooting a 69 himself in the morning. "Because even without any wind, it's beyond difficult."
That Woods managed to break 70 in the afternoon was impressive enough. That he did it after nearly snap hooking a 3-wood out of bounds on his opening tee shot and having to take an unplayable when the ball nestled in a deep clump of unruly grass was doubly so.
"When I got over that tee shot I was (thinking), if I hammer it, this 3-wood is in that bunker," Woods said. "So maybe I should take something off it. Maybe I should hit 5-wood. Hence I hit a flip hook left and there she goes."
Woods somehow managed to make a bogey five on the first hole even with a penalty shot by hitting his third into a greenside bunker and getting up-and-down. It set the pattern for a day of one-putts that not only prevented the round from getting away from him, but put him in prime position going into the second round.
"We're supposed to get a different wind tomorrow," Woods said. "It will be interesting to see what the course setup is."
Just how tough was Muirfield in the afternoon? So tough that the threesome Woods was playing in became a twosome when former champion Louis Oosthuizen withdrew on the ninth hole with an apparent injury after going 4-over-par through eight holes.
So tough that his other playing partner, Graeme McDowell made two double bogeys and shot a 75 despite feeling he played well.
So tough that Woods was 1-over at the turn before one-putting the next four holes to spark a 3-under 32 on the back nine.
"Tiger played phenomenally well for his 2-under par," McDowell said. "Really ground it out well, did what he did best."
Playing well early in majors hasn't been the issue for Woods in recent times, though. Closing it out on the weekend has been, the main reason why he's still stuck at 14 major championships and hasn't won one since beating Rocco Mediate on one leg in the 2008 U.S. Open.
Last year he opened the British with a pair of 67s only to fade to a tie for third place behind Ernie Els. This year he was in the mix at the U.S. Open before shooting 76-74 on the weekend.
He came here well rested and healed up from a strained elbow that was acting up at the U.S. Open, his last competitive event. He also came with the knowledge gained from years of playing links style golf on this side of the pond, including his two wins at St. Andrews and his other win at Hoylake near Liverpool.
"They're so different, so different," Woods said. "I mean, this is almost — it's about as fast as Hoylake was. But there's knee-high rough here. And plus this golf course changes directions a lot. This is a totally different setup."
Not so different, though, that Woods doesn't like his chances of winning a fourth claret jug.

What's the talk about?
The last few decades have seen a massive mushrooming of research into the workings of the most complex system known to mankind, the human brain. Part of this wonderful expansion in knowledge has been the development of ever-more sophisticated techniques for looking at the brain both physically and functionally in vivo rather than needing to wait for a post-mortem autopsy. There is a veritable alphabet-soup of methods available: CT, MRI, EEG, fMRI, ERP, MEG, tDCS to name a few. These techniques have given us fantastic insights into brain functions both in healthy individuals and also in those with neural abnormalities; some of this work has also been enormously beneficial for helping to identify or develop new treatments. However, parallel to this wonderful contribution has been an abuse of this information. Some of this has been by the researchers conducting the studies – there is a sense of 'believing the hype' a bit too much. In addition to this, the 'neuro-revolution' has been firmly embraced by those who want to legitimise their work – neuro-psychic, neuro-coaching, etc.. It has reached the point where it has even been used by some to drive public policy by using brain scans purporting to show the impact of social deprivation on a child's brain. In this talk, I will try to navigate you through some of the wonders of the brain but also try to show you that some of what you may hear is better classified as 'neuro-bollocks'......
My expertise is in mental brain functions that we use on an everyday basis such as memory and face-recognition. I conduct research on healthy individuals, those with brain damage and children who are either typical or have developmental disorders such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I am one of the UK's experts on face-recognition including face-blindness (also known as 'prosopagnosia') and exceptional face memory (known as 'super-recognition'). Some of the latter work is being done in conjunction with London's Metropolitan Police who are the first police force in the world to strategically use serving officers with exceptional face-memory to apprehend criminal suspects. I have also developed an expertise in being able to 'translate' general issues in psychology and science to the lay-person to make them more accessible.
I have been working in the field for 23 years. I have a degree from arguably the best university in the world (Cambridge), a doctorate from one of the best psychology research departments in the country (Sussex) and worked with two of the most noted neuroscientists in the world (Professors Antonio Damasio and Ralph Adolphs). I have won an award from the International Neuropsychological Society for my research in memory disorders and been awarded a Media Fellowship by the British Association for the Advancement of Science for my skills in communicating science to the general public. In 2011 I was awarded a three-month Wellcome funded Live Science residency at London's Science Museum to conduct one of the largest prevalence studies of super-recognition in the world. I have contributed widely to public engagement with science through TV (both national TV such as the BBC and Channel 4 as well as internationally), radio and print media as well as annual public lectures as part of International Brain Awareness Week. In addition I have lectured extensively throughout Europe, North America, South America, India, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. For this work, I have been nominated for a British Academy Charles Darwin Award for communicating science to non-specialist audiences. In 2014, I won Best Research Supervisor prize at my university for my ability to teach and inspire students to high levels of research. I teach cognitive psychology and cognitive neuropsychology which are my two specialist areas.
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and Vice-Chair of the Neuropsychology International Fellowship. My expertise means that I currently collaborate with scientists in 14 other countries spanning 4 continents.
Away from my research, I love travelling (52 countries visited and counting), speak my mother tongue (Gujarati) as well as Italian (I've visited Venice over 45 times!) and have an identical twin – I show three-dimensional scans of our brains in lectures to amuse students and then to demonstrate certain issues to do with the brain. I actually have a bit of a 'wonky' brain that I love telling students about.....

Michael Marshall
Homeopathy is one of the most widely debunked forms of alternative medicine – yet homeopathic remedies adorn the shelves of respected pharmacies and are funded by taxpayers on the NHS. How big a problem is this? Using information and personal experiences gathered during his last 6 years of campaigning against homeopathy, Michael Marshall will highlight how much money is spent on homeopathic remedies, how this gives undeserved credibility to homeopathy, how such remedies can lead to genuine harm and what you can do to help.
Michael Marshall is the Project Director of the Good Thinking Society and the Vice President of the Merseyside Skeptics Society. He regularly speaks with proponents of pseudoscience for the Be Reasonable podcast. His work has seen him organising international homeopathy protests and co-founding the popular QED conference. He has written for the Guardian, The Times and New Statesman.

Ash Pryce
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! Gather ye round the traveling caravan, as Snake Oil Salesman Ash Pryce demonstrates the miraculous curative abilities of psychic surgery, taught to your humble trickster by a wise man in the Philippines (or a magicians tool book, whichever sounds more wondrous). See with amazement the telekinetic forces at work as you learn how to move objects with your mind, psychically manipulate your finest silverware and read the minds of your peers. Or maybe, it's all just a trick?
Whereas the sister show How to Talk to the Dead looked specifically at spirit communication in the past, How to be a Psychic Conman will look at the more incredible, magical side of psychic claims that persist today. The types of demonstrations that blur the line between the honest deception of magic, and the dishonesty of those hoping to make a quick buck out of your deep rooted beliefs.
The show will involve demonstrations and explanations of telekinesis tricks, metal bending, psychic surgery and remote viewing as well as look at government funded research into psychic phenomena, and the shoddy protocols that allowed "psychics" to beat the legendary Zener card experiments in the 1930s.
And if that wasn't enough, interspersed throughout the show will be numerous on stage demonstrations of mentalism to add an extra layer of entertainment to the proceedings.
Warning to those on the front row… there will be blood!

Prof Karen Douglas
NB: This talk was originally scheduled in July 2016.
Was 9/11 an inside job? Is climate change a hoax? Was Princess Diana murdered? Millions of people appear to think so, disbelieving official explanations for significant events in favour of alternative accounts that are often called 'conspiracy theories'. In recent years, psychologists have begun to investigate what makes conspiracy theories appealing to so many people. In this talk, I will broadly overview what psychologists have found out so far, and will discuss some of my own findings on the causes and consequences of conspiracy theory belief.
Karen Douglas is a Professor in Social Psychology at the University of Kent. In addition to conducting work on the psychology of conspiracy theories, she is involved in projects examining sexism in language, the influence of sexist ideology on attitudes toward pregnant women, and the psychology of internet behaviour.

As an optional process for users on Ubokia, uTrust disables potential scammers from hiding behind anonymity for a safe, secure online marketplace for users to buy and sell.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 25, 2012 -- Ubokia, Inc., the preeminent buyer's marketplace that is transforming social ecommerce, today announced uTrust. This feature is the world's first trust verification system for ecommerce to eliminate the risk of buying online. Ubokia is committed to providing the ultimate buying experience in which buyers and sellers can transact with confidence. As an optional process for users on Ubokia, uTrust disables potential scammers from hiding behind anonymity for a safe, secure online marketplace for users to buy and sell.
Most ecommerce sites can be intimidating—in fact, buying from anonymous sellers often becomes more of a risk than an opportunity. Ubokia aims to eliminate fears associated with buying online by offering Ubokia users the option to verify themselves with uTrust. This new step towards safe transactions adds an additional layer of security for buyers. Buyers can purchase on their own terms and choose whether to deal with a safe seller versus an anonymous one.
"We want people to connect and transact online in a way that's safe, secure and positive for everyone," said Bill Stein, Ubokia's Trust and Safety Officer. "At Ubokia, we understand one way we can facilitate this experience is to go the extra mile with a built-in trust mechanism. Buyers can get what they want with the assurance of what they're buying and who it's coming from."
In addition to uTrust, uGroups is another security feature that allows users to create virtual marketplaces. With uGroups, members can buy, sell, and trade with others in their existing social communities or with those that share a common passion. For users who prefer to keep their identities secret, the site will function as normal. Users are able to build out profiles with eBay ratings or by connecting with Facebook and PayPal.
Users who opt-in to be uTrust verified begin by providing some information about themselves. Ubokia then uses the information from public records to generate several questions to which only the "real" person would know the answers. Once Ubokia has verified a user's identity, he or she is considered "uTrusted" and receives a uTrust badge on his or her profile. This type of verification system instills a sense of confidence in both buyers and sellers, creating a platform that is not only safe and useful, but also fun and friendly. Ubokia is committed to continuing to develop additional measures to protect consumers and ensure online safety.
About Ubokia Inc.
Ubokia is the advocate for the buyer – empowering consumers to take control of the buying process. At Ubokia, buyers say what they want and sellers come to them on the buyers' terms, not the other way around. Buyers and sellers can also verify who they are through uTrust, create or join protected uGroups for secure and private trading, and have private negotiations. Ubokia.com was launched in November of 2011 and is free to join for buyers and sellers. For more information on Ubokia, visit http://www.ubokia.com or call 855-844-6620.

The Grant County Detention Center will be keeping its doors open afterall.
After hearing a presentation of three scenarios to consider for the future of the Grant County Detention Center on Sept. 26, the Grant County Fiscal Court voted to rescind Resolution 16-10, which would have closed the jail.
Nearly 50 employees will lose their jobs after Performance Pipe announced Sept. 26 that its Williamstown plant will permanently close.
The company attributed the closure to the downturn in demand in the the U.S. over the last two years for high pressure pipe used in commodity businesses such as oil exploration and production and mining. Throughout the division, Performance Pipe is eliminating approximately 60 positions, including 48 positions in Williamstown.
Enrollment at Grant County and Williamstown Independent school districts has dipped slightly from last year.
However, the decrease in student population is not great enough to cause much concern in school officials.
The flu season may be starting a little early this year in Kentucky.
The Kentucky Department for Public Health has already received reports of laboratory-confirmed influenza cases, indicating the presence of flu circulating in Kentucky. There have been 10 cases reported statewide.
"Our normal flu monitoring doesn't begin until Oct. 1," said Emily Gresham Wherle, public information administrator, Northern Kentucky Health Department.
After multiple upgrades and renovations at Piddle Park, Lake Pollywog is also getting a facelift.
The Dry Ridge lake at the park was drained about two months ago in preparation for construction to fix the spillway to avoid the failure of the lake's dam.
"They just poured concrete until the water's edge," Dry Ridge Mayor Jim Wells said about the dam when it was originally constructed. "Water was able to get underneath the concrete and floated underneath the concrete and washed it all out.
Desirae Carpenter may be a junior, but you won't see her walking the halls of Williamstown High School.
Instead, Carpenter is spending her last two years of high school on the campus of Western Kentucky University as a member of The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science.
The Grant County girls team won the eighth annual Dry Ridge Toyota Cup on Sept. 17, beating Covington Latin 6-0, then Gallatin County 3-2.
In the first game, the Lady Braves came alive, finally having all 17 players on the roster back and healthy, and it showed.
Kayla Mullins and Faith Johnson both scored hat tricks, alongside Courtney Faehr, who had three assists.
"Even though I'm not a captain on the team, I think I'm still a leader," said Johnson, who is currently leading her team in goals scored.
We're fat, and getting fatter. And that's making us sicker.
More than one-third of Kentucky adults are obese, placing the state fifth in the country in obesity, a big jump from 12th the year before. Kentucky was one of only two states where obesity rates increased from 2014 to 2015, according to the latest State of Obesity report.
I was reading the passage of scripture where Jesus is on the cross and he cries out from the cross "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?" Now this passage of scripture is unusual because Jesus says this in Aramaic and it is usually explained in a complicated way.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Pocatello Kid (1937, B&W): Ken Maynard plays a dual role as twins Ken and Jim Bledsoe. Jim is a cruel and crooked sheriff who takes his orders from cattle rustler Pete Larkin. Ken, also known as "The Pocatello Kid," has just escaped from prison and is shot by a posse trailing him. The Kid rides wounded into town to get help from his brother, but before Ken can find him, Jim is shot dead in a gambling dispute. Seeing a timely opportunity, Larkin blackmails Ken into assuming the murdered sheriff's identity. Along with his brother's badge, Ken also inherits a fiancee - Larkin's beautiful daughter, Mary. Inspired by Mary's decent heart, Ken vows to rid the range of rustlers, a promise that puts him on a collision course with Larkin and his gang.
Starring Ken Maynard, Marceline Day, Richard Cramer, Lew Meehan; Directed by Phil Rosen.
Branded Men (1931, B&W): Cowboy Rod and his pals have their horses stolen as they ride toward the lawless town of Steep Gulch. Looking for a sheriff so he can file a complaint, he soon learns that being a lawman in Steep Gulch is a shortcut to an early grave. In need of cash and undaunted by the violent reputation of the locals, Rod volunteers to fill the vacant sheriff's post. In no time at all, he runs afoul of a corrupt gang of outlaws who maintain control by murdering every man who puts on a badge.
Starring Ken Maynard, Irving Bacon, Billy Bletcher, Charles King; Directed by James Neill

I had the privilege of attending and speaking at the Digital Signage Expo (DSE) last month. Despite the lingering impact of the recession, turnout was impressive, and it's clear that this remains a dynamic growth industry. Walking the trade show floor and attending several of the seminars brought a few consistent themes and trends to the forefront.
The Content Imperative
For whatever reason, even as network operators invested heavily over the last few years in infrastructure, content seemed for the longest time to be an afterthought. But I think we've started to turn a corner here. Several networks were talking about the importance of content, having finally realized that people won't necessarily look at a screen just because it's there. Quality content is the key to a compelling experience, and is absolutely a must to create an appropriate environment for advertising. RMG Networks' partnership with The New York Times is one example of networks seeking to bring more compelling content to their screens.
Measurement is another must-have for any ad-supported medium. The Out-of-home Video Advertising Bureau has made progress in the last 12 to 18 months, and has been gaining traction for its Audience Metrics Guidelines. Beyond basic measurement, several companies have been developing software that enables a camera, mounted near a display, to determine when people are actually looking at the screen, bringing another dimension to measurement. The technology was again on display on the show floor this year, and is really beginning to grow into its own.
Relevancy and Usability
Some eye-tracking systems are also able to determine certain characteristics of the audience looking at the screens – things like age, gender, and even ethnicity. I watched in fascination as one demo screen accurately counted the number of men versus women looking at the screen, and then fed instructions to the content management system, tweaking the messaging to be most appropriate to the dominant gender currently looking at the screen. It's not quite the retinal scanning out of Minority Report, but it's certainly a step in the right direction for advertisers wishing to deliver the most relevant content. The privacy issue is already beginning to come up with these kinds of technologies, but the major trade organizations are aware of the potential risks and challenges, and seem determined to proactively create privacy-friendly guidelines.
Another interesting use of cameras was on display at the Intel booth. It had simulated a retail storefront window with a projected touch screen interface on it. It allowed for basic product browsing, and aimed to help shoppers find the physical location of objects in-store. The role of the camera was interesting – it could be used to adjust the height of the projected interface on the window, so that even a small child could reach the controls.
It's nothing new, but there was an explosion of touch screens on the show floor, ranging from small free-standing kiosks to gigantic flat panel monitors like the 80-some incher on display at the Intel booth. Major manufacturers from LG to Samsung and more had touch-enabled units on display. I was a bit surprised at the technology's inconsistency, though. You expect it to work like the iPhone or Microsoft Surface. Instead, some screens were just not all that accurate. In fact, I found myself frustrated by lack of responsiveness or utter mistracking more often than not. Clearly, this needs to be a consideration when making choices for installations. Turns out that all touch screens are not created equal.
Better Connected
I've always been a fan of the interaction between digital out-of-home screens and the mobile phone. Again, the technology isn't new, but it continues to evolve and grow. LocaModa launched its new digital-out-of-home app store just before DSE, and was showing off a new partnership with location-based social network Foursquare both on the show floor and on big screens at Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile shops. Lots of great stuff was on display, but we're just scratching the surface here. I'm betting this will be one of the biggest trends of 2010 – increasing interaction between the small screen in your pocket and the larger ones proliferating venues everywhere.
These trends and ongoing technology advances make the digital signage space all the more interesting from a marketer's perspective. Already, we've seen impressive results from DOOH media buys and custom interactive installations we've done for clients. These new and evolving tools will only help us to design better and more effective marketing experiences.

Are you a member of this prestigious angler's club?
Submitted: 07/17/2013
Story By Lyndsey Stemm
- Nobody knows exactly when or by whom a prestigious anglers club was founded here in the Northwoods. But you can bet you know someone in it.
"Probably, I'm going to guess seven or eight times," says Kurt Justice.
You could call the fishing guide a platinum member of an exclusive Northwoods angler's club. But a trophy Musky won't get you a membership. To join this club you have to catch.... yourself, or other people.
"Oh, we at least see three or four a day," says Carrie Kehoe, a Howard Young emergency room Nurse.
Ministry Howard Young Medical Center and Eagle River Memorial Hospital treated so many patients with fish hooks stuck in them, they started the People Catcher's Club.
"So this is our People Catchers Club card that everybody gets. They get a name, and their number and what year it occurred. And here is the Ministry Healthcare bobber," says Kehoe.
Last season alone 105 people joined the club. Adults are members... kids are members... dogs are even members. Treating all those members can take some unorthodox methods.
"A lot of times we'll use a wire cutter to actually cut the hook away from the lure. And then we've got good ole' vice grips," says Dr. Roderick Brodhead, Ministry EMS Medical Director.
While these injuries can be serious, most of them aren't. And the stories behind them are the stuff that legends are made of.
"It was a husband and wife team and they were up here just visiting. She caught the hook right in the center of his head. And as they were trying to get it out she sat on one and got it hooked onto her buttocks," says Kehoe.
"Augie being a puppy was very curious and came over to see what I was doing as I was trying to pick the hooks out. He stuck his nose down, yanked back and got one of the hooks right through his nose. As he did so one of the hooks went right through my thumb. So he started bawling, pulling me around the house," says Justice.
Justice hears all kinds of stories at his sport shop. It's common for people to renew their membership; some even manage to join twice in one day! Justice wasn't the only person to tell this story.
"We always ask people if they want to hang their lure on the wall of fame or if they want to take the lure. In this case the gentleman said it was his favorite lure and he was taking it along. He walked out of the ER and threw the lure on the seat of his truck and then climbed in, and came back five minutes later with it in his buttock," says Dr. Brodhead.
The People Catchers Club helps make people, especially kids, a lot happier leaving the ER than they were coming in.
"They're basically scared. And so we try to make it a little better experience for them so that they won't be scared the next time it happens," says Dr. Brodhead.
And since the Northwoods is a fisherman's playground, the odds are good there will be a next time.

Item of General Interest
July 25. I received notice today that an article I helped write is available for free download for the next fifty days. The corrected free link for the article is "An Oil Production Forecast for China Considering Economic Limits." The article discusses the possibility that oil prices may not rise endlessly, and evaluates three future price scenarios. Under the "low" scenario (prices remain under $50 per barrel), oil production in China has already peaked.

I know two amazing facts which are 1. Sweat doesn't smell bad. A stinky "body odour" is caused when the skin bacteria feed on sweat. Their waste products are what smell bad!
2. Just one drop of blood contains about 10,000 while blood cells and 250,000 platelets

Well, when we have a idea, our brain produces enough electricity to power a small light bulb !
Yeah, now I can understand why in the film, when the character have an idea, on their head have a light bulb :)))

euughhh I google it, you're right
Obviously, bananas are different from human bodies. What about the similarity ? 50% of human DNA is the same as a banana.
Wow… Bananas and human have the same root?
I've got some classmates who have allergy to bananas, on the other hand, I like banana. Might this show that my DNA need more banana cells?? Anyway, I think 90% of Mr.Hormer's DNA is the same as a banana! !
I was impressed by the fact that most of the atoms are only empty space ,just air or nothinges and if it took it out our body would be very small. This way we are empty. It is rediculous.
I am very surprised because I did not know that there were so many body cells. Did you know that a nap of 20 minutes is good for our health. In fact, we help to improve our concentration, mood and productivity.
Hey ivantorre! I know that 20min. nap (particularly in the afternoon) is good for our health!
Did you know how long a person's DNA is when it is stretched?
It's 2.5million time around the earth!! A great mystery in our body!!
In my case I find it very interesting that something like bacteria are so useful and necessary to live and that most of the cells are atoms empty , air or nothing. Another interesting factor is that when you look at someone you love, your pupils dilate and when you look at someone you hate,occur the same. Also, an interesting fact is that foot thumbs have two bones
, while others have three bones.
Wow, interesting! In that sense, nobody tells if sb loves me or hates me by judging their eyes?! I always tend to think the former, cause I'm a kind of optimist!
Hi Aitorze. I didn't know that about the big toe (that it only has two bones). That is interesting. Thanks for sharing :)

Indian Flame Bar and Grill
13330 Lundy's Lane, Allanburg, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, L0S 1A0
Serves meat, vegan options available. Owners seem to be informed and understanding about vegetarian diets and will make dishes on the menu veg upon request. Family friendly. Mainly Indian food (like curry dishes, rices, pakoras, samosas) with a few North American food like fries and pizza. Call for hours - tell us.
Category: Lacto, American, Pizza, Indian, Beer/Wine, Take-out, Non-veg
Reviews (1)First Review by shaak8
best Indian food in Niagara Region - Edit
Indian Flame is hands-doe the tastiest Indian food I've ever had. Lots of vegetarian options as the chef is vegetarian.
Would ask about vegan options, they can probably accommodate with no cream for some dishes.
Everything is made fresh from scratch so don't go if you're in a rush.

Teach Yourself PERL in 21 Days
Author: David Till
Publisher: Sams Publishing
Price: 29.99 USA/39.99 CAN
Reviewer: David Flood
The 846 pages of Teach Yourself Perl In 21 Days from Sams Publishing—two inches thick—are intimidating. Don't let the size of the book intimidate you, though, it's due not to the complexity of the language, but to the easygoing writing style of the author.
The book is divided into 21 days (chapters) of differing length, three review sections (at the end of each "week"), several appendixes, and a thorough index. Each "day" has a discussion of a part of the language, examples (either complete programs or code fragments), warnings, sections of "Do's and Don'ts," and questions or problems at the end. Suggested answers to each "day's" questions are supplied in an appendix.
I started reading this book with no previous exposure to PERL; by the end of the second week I was beginning to see places where the language might be used in real world applications. The examples and discussions were clear and easy to follow. After completing the book, I started writing a simple application; so far I've been able to do everything in PERL that I need to do.
Some of the functions of PERL are also directly translatable to other programs. The discussion of Pattern Matching (Day 7) should be (with author/publisher permission) incorporated into the sed manual page; I'd never been able to get sed to do what I wanted until I read this chapter.
However, the copy of the book I received had a few problems. It was from the first printing and had several errors that the proofreaders had missed. Some of those early in the book would trip up new users of computers. For example, in the section on ftping the PERL file to install PERL on the reader's machine, a sample ftp session is presented. In the sample dialogue, the GET command wasn't followed by a file name: get . When I tried this, ftp told me I needed to supply a file name. I knew enough to do a ls p* to find the current file and then type get filename to get it. (I only did the ftp session to test the directions, since I had already installed PERL from my Slackware CD-ROM.)
Another hazard lies in the discussion of the required first line of a PERL program #!/usr/local/bin/perl. There is a small discussion of the fact that it must be the correct path of the PERL interpreter, but the only advice given is to talk to your System Administrator. Since several folks are their own System Administrator, this might cause problems. Since there are already "Unix Only" discussions in some of the chapters, a small discussion of the which command would be a welcome addition.
I was able to detect at least one error for every two chapters. Upon requesting an errata sheet from the publisher via their area on CompuServe (which they advertise in the book), I was informed that they would get back to me. A week later, they still hadn't. Since files containing errata for some of their other books are available from the area, I presume that the book is still too new for a sheet to have been compiled.
The only other problem that I have with the book is its classification of "User Level: Beginning—Intermediate." Since I have taken classes in both C and Ada, I was able to relate some of the concepts that I had learned to this language. However, as I pointed out before, some of the ideas presented are definitely not for beginning computer users.
Generally, I would recommend this book for any person who wants to learn PERL. But this is not the book for a person who is attempting to learn a first programming language.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

text: Review Content Great product! Use it after work during the week, and when watching TV> I would buy this product again-works great! Love it-great gift Great price! I tried a similar product from another company which also had heat. that was a really nice feature. But it cost 60% more, so was not worth the difference in price. Delivery was very prompt! releif for lower back pain I use this in my reclining chair to relieve back pain. I will be traveling soon, and plan on taking it along. I will update this review with my findings. So far, it fits comfortably in my chair, I am able to relax and let it work on my sore muscles, its easy to turn on/off; and is very quiet. great product love it! can be placed low or moved up higher to target upper back tension. I am 52" and 115 lbs. my smaller frame usually swims in typical massage chairs and does not get the full benefit. this does the trick. I use it at work and I position low to high as I need it. I bought this for myself and then another 3 as gifts to a co-worker, my husband, and my brother and they all love it. Lower Lumbar Massage Thank you for this product, its very helpful for me .I use all the time when i get home after work,Its a perfect product for me Review of Lower Lumbar Massager Massager works very well. The only draw back is that you have to repeat the treatment several times during the day, in order to get some relief from back pain. This is a great Massager I would recommend it!!!!!! This is a great back massager! It is good for just about anywhere and any time. This is a great gift for a family member or friend! I would have this in every Chair! The 15 minute intervals are perfect. It really helps my back This product can be plugged in to the car or a regular house plug. It works well and really helps to massage the tension out. Excellent buy! What A Relief! Great lower back pain relief. Feels wonderful when applied. Works great! Has the power to satisfy the deepest ache. This is a great unit. Very nice gift I brought it to work but the cord is on the "wrong side for me...which could easily be the right side for someone else. I wish that this had a Usb port so that I could use it in the car. Great for lower back This is great if you have to spend time at your desk, not only does it massage, but makes you adjust your posture , therefore in my opinion helps strengthen your back. Great wonderful relief for lower back pain A lot of POWER in a small package I love this little massager. Its great for my lower back. The only negative comment I have is it doesnt stay on long enough. It has an auto shut off after 15min. definitely served the purpose Definitely useful Lombar relief Lets see how long it lasts Wonderful Product This product has helped me tremendously! The best lumber massage Love this item. Use it all the time. Very Nice Massager I find this to be an excellent addition for relief of lower back strain. Works great! This product works great in alleviating lower back pain and relaxing muscles. I use it at home on the computer. Definitely recommend this product. i think im going to buy another for someone else :) I use this everyday at work. I sit in front of a computer all day and boy do I use it :). when I get up to go to lunch I catch one of my coworkers at my desk using it :). it believe you will be getting some orders very soon for this product :) :). Helps me get through the day... Easy to take with you and feels great! I always suffer through back pain at work and this massager helps me maintain great posture while making my back feel relaxed throughout the day, I highly recommend it! Does the trick I keep this on my desk chair at work and its a nice treat on days when my back feels sore. When not in use, it still provides some helpful lumbar support. Compact, yet sturdy. And it plugs into a car charger, which is a nice bonus for long car trips. Awesome! With the workplace getting more intense its nice to know I have this massager to ease the tightness in my back and shoulders when needed. Its not noisy so you could use it in an office setting. Havent found anything I dont like about this massager yet Perfect for getting out the kinks Great to lay on and put most of your body weight on to really get a deep massage Looking good Looks good but have not used it yet good, strong and great pressure and it w The Massager was sent to my brother for Xmas and these are his comments. He appears to like the product. Terrific! I thought this would help me feel better Great device! This massager really targets tight muscles and feels great! I bought 3 Really helped on very stressed days Work Relief I have the Lower Lumbar Massager attached to my office chair at work to relieve lower back pain caused by early degenerative arthritis. Sitting for long periods of time agitate my arthritis. I am able to press the power button without having to look at the device and initiate a massage cycle that lasts long enough to ease my pain. It is easy to use and has a self shut-off feature after the cycle runs. Over a period of time, use of the massager has decreased the frequency of my lower back pain. Im pleasantly surprised by its usefulness. Excellent I bought this for occasional lower back pain. It works great for that. When I realized it can also work in the car, that made it even better. I can use this on a lengthy trip I make to visit family, plus use it while there. I expect to get a lot of use. Very glad I bought it.

MOKITA: Style
The Screening Room
For some it's a creative straitjacket, for others the Holy Grail – whether it be mimicry or origination, style in illustration can mean polar opposites, and is the subject of the third MOKITA conference at Somerset House. Planned in spring 2014, the subject has been explored in the current issue of Varoom magazine and discussed at September's Crowd Talks at Hoxton Gallery. This is an opportunity to further debate and define the term.
With an invited panel of speakers and guest chair, both sides of the case will made pitching style versus content, imitation versus sincerity, and semiotics versus aesthetics. Confirmed speakers include Professor George Hardie, Lawrence Zeegen, Luise Vormittag, Michael Salu, Catrin Morgan, John O'Reilly and Laura Gordon & Jake Evans of Crowd Talks.
Both the divergent and emergent aspects of 21st-century illustration will be examined in this latest instalment, intended to make a fit-for-purpose architecture for the subject.
Purposely not aligned to any single education provider, MOKITA was founded in 2010 to focus debate on the more uncharted and contentious aspects of illustration as a subject and practice. Its founders are Darryl Clifton (Camberwell College of Arts UAL), Geoff Grandfield (Kingston University London), and Roderick Mills (University of Brighton).
Professor George Hardie is a graphic designer, illustrator and educator. He became a Professor of Graphic Design in 1990, and currently teaches on postgraduate courses. He has received many international commissions from a wide variety of clients, and his work has been exhibited extensively, with one-person retrospectives at Brighton, Barcelona and Ljubljana. He has gained widespread notice through work for the Royal Mail.
Lawrence Zeegen is Professor of Illustration and Dean of the School of Design at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. His design and illustration clients include major international newspapers, magazines, book publishers, design studios and advertising agencies, spanning over 1000 commissions across 25 years.
Luise Vormittag trained as an illustrator, graphic designer, photographer, fine artist and theorist, and her creative practice reflects this eclectic education. She currently teaches Design & Interaction on BA (Hons) Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins, and is also working on an AHRC funded collaborative research project with MA Narrative Environments and Vital Arts.
Michael Salu is a creative director, art editor, designer, brand strategist, writer and illustrator. Concept driven, his approach straddles both the machinations of the art world and the language of design. Most recently he has founded multidisciplinary creative agency SALU.
Crowd Talks hosts design discussion events across the UK, bringing together students, graduates and practitioners to debate contemporary design issues.

Get Ready For Your Second Helping of Aerial Poison
Watch out, mosquitoes. Mayor Mike's got his serious face on.
Dallas has drawn national attention for its decision to blanket itself with pesticide to combat the ongoing outbreak of West Nile. Hence, Rawlings' appearance this morning on CNN with Soledad O'Brien.
"Nice to see you sir," O'Brien said. "Thank you for talking with us. We appreciate it."
Rawlings nods. "Good to have me."
He goes on to tell O'Brien that spraying has been going well. Sure, there were a couple of unexpected rain delays, but last night crews were able to cover a quarter of a million acres.

"Tonight we go back at it we have a fifth plane and by that time we should have everybody done this time tomorrow morning," Rawlings said.
In a statement sent a few minutes ago, Rawlings said that while the initial spray had some "positive preliminary results," more needs to be done
"We need to expand our assault on the ground and enlist residents to join the fight by draining standing water to cut off mosquito breeding grounds," Rawlings said. "It only takes a little soil, compost or a few leaves, and water that stands stagnant for 1-2 weeks, to breed mosquitoes."
That and dump another coating of poison on all 362,328 acres of Dallas County. The planes fly from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in Dallas, earlier in other cities. Officials are not yet sure whether they will spray again on Tuesday night.
There is good news in all of this. Just hours after my East Dallas home had been strafed with Duet, two living, non-mutant mosquitoes landed on my arm in quick succession, more than I had seen for quite some time. And how dangerous can a poison be if it can't even kill a damned mosquito?
