Civil War - Global Conflict
March 3 ¢ 5, 2011
In 2011, the United States will observe the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. To mark this important anniversary the Program in the Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World at the College of Charleston will host an international conference considering the war as an event of global significance. Examining the causes, passage, and consequences of the war in an international context promises to break from the divisive and narrow focus on the war as a sectional conflict fought in an America whose existence is seen as entirely separate from the rest of the world. The conference will therefore examine:
the role of international currents of thought (political, racial, ethical, religious), international economic pressures, and international political alignments leading to the war;
international support and opposition, as well as diplomatic efforts during the war;
international consequences both during and after the war (e.g., who took advantage of the destruction of cotton and rice production? Who learned what from military, communication technology, etc.?); and
commemoration and memorialization of the war beyond AmericaÆs borders (i.e., how the war has come to be remembered around the world in political movements, in fictional representations, in popular culture, toys, etc.).
We invite scholars to submit proposals for individual papers and panels that might address such questions as:
How did the Union and Confederacy operate in the diplomatic sphere?
How did the rest of the world view the conflict?
What did Americans, particularly South Carolinians, think of international attitudes toward the United and Confederate States?
What did Americans living abroad think of the conflict?
What impact did Confederate exiles/colonies have on their host countries?
What impact did American Emancipation have on slavery in Latin America, Africa etc.?
How did the Civil War influence world views of the U.S., particularly the South, and how did Unionists/Confederates see themselves in the world?
How is the Civil War remembered and recreated internationally in literature, film, and in popular memorabilia?
How did international religious alliances play into the conflict and its representations?
Keynote speakers include Richard Blackett (Vanderbilt University), Joan Cashin (Ohio State University), James McPherson (Princeton University), and E.B. Rugemer (Yale University). Since the conference is the College of CharlestonÆs opening academic event in a broader, four-year-long commemoration of the war, there will be a number of subsidiary events going on in and around Charleston that participants will find of interest.
As with previous successful CLAW program events the conference will be run in a seminar style: accepted participants will be expected to send completed papers to the organizers two months in advance of the conference itself (by January 5th, 2011) for circulation via password-protected site. At the conference itself presenters will talk for no more than ten minutes about their paper, working on the assumption that everyone has read the paper itself. This arrangement means that papers may be considerably lengthier and more carefully argued than the typical 20-minute presentation; and it leads to more substantive, better informed discussion. It also generally allows us to move quite smoothly toward publication of a selection of essays.
Proposals for individual papers should be between 300 and 500 words, and should be accompanied by a brief biographical statement indicating institutional affiliation, research interests, and relevant publishing record. Please e-mail your proposal to email@example.com or send by mail to: ōCivil War - Global Conflictö Organizing Committee, c/o CLAW Program, College of Charleston, 66 George Street, Charleston, SC 29424-0001 before September 5th, 2010.
If you wish to send a proposal for a 3- or 4-person panel, please send a 300 to 500-word proposal describing the panel as a whole as well as proposals for each of the individual papers, along with biographical statements for each of the presenters. The organizers reserve the right to accept individual papers from panel proposals, to break up panels, and to add papers to panels. Notification of acceptance will be sent by October 5th, 2010.

Simon Lewis (CLAW); Lee Drago (History); Adam Mendelsohn (Jewish Studies); Scott Peeples (English); Bernard Powers (History); Lisa Randle (CLAW); John White (CLAW) [all College of Charleston]; O.

Dying to Live: The Journey Into a Man's Open Heart - DVD
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Nov 17, 2009Actor and filmmaker Ben Mittleman was about to turn fifty when his doctor gave him a disturbing diagnosis -- he was suffering from a cardiac condition that required open-heart surgery. The news opened the floodgates for Mittleman's fears and insecurities as he moved deeper into middle age, and he decided to keep a video diary to document his thoughts and feelings as the date with the surgeon approached. Before long, Mittleman had more than just his own health to worry about, as both his wife and his mother learned they were living with cancer, and Mittleman found he no longer had time for the luxury of introspective self-pity. Mittleman edited his diary footage and video he shot of his wife and mother's experiences in treatment into the documentary Dying To Live, a personal exploration of mortality and how the demands of maturity can make themselves known at nearly any age. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Hue Jackson reminded us that "We're building a bully" in Oakland. He wants his team to be aggressive and he wants it to dominate.
It is likely that "Coach" Davis will be making many of the moves during this off-season, but Mr Davis is currently high on Hue Jackson, so is likely to be lead by his thinking.
There has been a lot written about who Oakland should retain and who they should let go, but matters are greatly complicated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement coming to an end in March.
It will be a tough job even before the regular season in September. In the following slides, I highlight how Jackson can plot his way through the choppy waters.

We particularly enjoyed the wine seminars and food cooking demonstrations. They were fun and informative. The shows we saw were amazing,especially the Cirquie de Soleil type show.
We had an SV category stateroom and I have to say the design is not so good. No storage and there was only two of us. Did see the S1 suite next to us and that was fabulous. I would spend the extra $$$ as it is like night and day nad not too much more $$$.
The food was okay. No way as good as Queen Mary or Millenium but our waiter Adrian was terrific. We had great dinner partners so that added to the enjoyment of our cruise.
We did not take any shore excursions as we have visited these ports many times before but those who did told us they were good.
Overall I would give the Equinox a B. These folks have a lot of difficult people to deal with and always have a smile. God Bless the staff of Equinox.

Insider: The Orlando Magic & The Draft: Wings
We continue our look at which players the Magic could select with the 19th pick in the NBA Draft. The draft will take place on Thursday, June 28.?
We already took a look at the point guards that could be available.
Today, we'll take a look at the wings (In case you missed it,?here is the story about wings the Magic could target in free agency).
Of course, the Magic aren't in position to land the likes of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of Kentucky, Bradley Beal of Florida,?Harrison Barnes of North Carolina?or even local product Austin River?of Duke,?but that doesn't mean they can't find a solid player.
Terrence Jones of Kentucky, who falls somewhere in the Small Forward/Power Forward category, will be long gone.
You can make a great argument small forward is Orlando's worst position with Hedo Turkoglu and Quentin Richardson and is therefore their biggest need. So let's take a look at three wings who could still be on the board when the Magic are on the clock.
Moe Harkless, St. John's
Harkless left the Red Storm after just one season. The small forward had a fantastic freshman season, averaging ?15.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. Harkless was named the Big East Newcomer of the Year.
Harkless possesses good size (he measured in with a height of just under 6'9, which is great and a wing span of 7'0 at the NBA Draft Combine last week, which was a little disappointing) and is clearly an excellent rebounder, not only evidenced by his per-game average, but by his offensive rebounding rate of 8.4% and his defensive rebounding rate of 18.1%.
Harkless's size and?athleticism give him the opportunity to evolve into a good defender.
Clearly, Harkless can score, but his shot needs a lot of work. Harkless is good around the basket, but will clearly have more trouble scoring in the paint in the NBA. Harkless shot 44.5% from the field, but just 20.2% from beyond the arc.
Harkless has plenty of time to improve - the Queens native is just 19.
Harkless's physical attributes make him a very interesting prospect and he clearly has a lot of upside so it will be tempting to take him if he's there at 19. Whether or not he will still be around when the Magic pick, is a toss-up. Most pundits have Harkless going in that 17-25 range.
However, as the draft inches closer, Harkless's stock continues to rise and a source told ESPN Florida Harkless is very unlikely to be available at 19.
Quincy Miller, Baylor
Miller was somewhat overshadowed at Baylor, mainly because of the hype surrounding his teammate and probable lottery pick, Perry Jones III.
Still, Miller was able to average 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, while helping Baylor reach the Elite Eight, where they bowed out to eventual national champion Kentucky. Miller played just one season with the Bears.
Miller's size is the first thing that sticks out to you. At the combine, he was 6'10 in shoes and had a 7'1.25 wingspsan.
Miller was only the fourth leading scorer for the Bears behind Pierre Jackson (13.8 ppg), Jones (13.5 ppg) and Quincy Acy (12.0 ppg).
As a freshman coming off of ACL surgery with proven players like Jackson, Jones and Acy, it's somewhat understandable Miller would go somewhat unnoticed. However, his inconsistency is troubling - he was even held scoreless against Texas back in February and only scored in double digits once (10 points against 14th seed South Dakota) in four NCAA tournament games.
Of course, you have to look at the positives. Miller had plenty of big games, including a 29-point performance against then fifth ranked Missouri in a one-point loss. He also scored 20 points on just 10 shots in the second meeting between the two teams.
On the season, Miller shot 44.7% from the field and showed off some range, shooting 34.8% from three.
Walker Beeken of Draft Express explains what could be Miller's biggest asset, saying "Miller's most impressive attribute might be his ability to create shots off the dribble. He doesn't have the most explosive first step, but he has outstanding scoring instincts, doing a nice job utilizing shot fakes and showing terrific ball-handling skills for a player at 6-9. He's able to put the ball on the floor with either hand and utilize crossovers, hesitations, spin moves, jukes, and step-back dribbles to create separation to get his shot off, with superb body control and very polished footwork."
Despite his lack of strength, Miller's ability to score in the paint is another asset.
One would think Miller's height and length would make him a good defender, but Baylor mostly plays zone.
Despite his inconsistencies, Miller's talent and potential will make the Magic give him a long look if he's available at 19. Miller is seeing similar projections as Harkless.
Terrence Ross, Washington
This season, his second with the Huskies, Ross averaged 16.4 points, 6.4 rebounds 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
Ross was Washington's leading scorer, edging out fellow projected first rounder Tony Wroten, and was also Washington's second leading rebounder.
Ross measured in at 6'6 without shoes and 6'7 in shoes. His wingspan of 6'7.25 seems a little small for his height.
This first thing you notice about Ross's game is that he takes - and makes - a lot of three-pointers. Ross attempted 194 treys and connected on 37.1%. Ross also takes a lot of mid-range jumpers.
Ross connected on 76.6% of his free throws last season and had a free throw rate of 20.0%.
Despite being an excellent athlete, Ross has trouble getting ?to and finishing at the rim. Joe Treutlein of Draft Express says Ross "remains largely limited due to his still unpolished ball-handling and average basketball IQ." He goes on to say Ross "does very little attacking off traditional isolations from the perimeter and doesn't try to force the issue much in this regard, playing well to his strengths in his team's offense."
Defensively, Ross is considered a very good on ball defender.
Most experts have Ross right in that same group with Harkless and Miller.
Jeff Taylor, a three-point marksmen from Vanderbilt, who worked out for the Magic and Will Barton of Memphis, are other potential choices at 19.
Dion Waiters?of Syracuse is an intriguing prospect the Magic could make a run at, but you'd think with Jason Richardson and J.J. Redick at shooting guard, they'd like to get a bigger player. Jeremy Lamb of Connecticut will likely have been off the board for a while and I'm not sure how the Magic would feel about taking a foreign prospect like Evan Fournier, who is from France. Doron Lamb?of Kentucky is also an intriguing prospect, but selecting him at 19 seems like a reach.Despite playing on a team with four sure fire first round picks in Anthony Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, Jones and Marquis Teague, Lamb was still the second leading scorer for the national champs. The Magic worked out Ohio State sharpshooter William Buford and would probably target him in the second round. The Magic are scheduled to work out South Dakota guard?Charlie Westbrook this week. He's considered a second round pick. Hampton guard?Darrion Pellum also worked out for the Magic.

These people, moments made pop culture pop in 2013
Miley Cyrus didn't get a Grammy nomination. "Duck Dynasty" was snubbed by the Emmys. And "Anchorman 2" won't be staying classy at the Oscars.
But in our eyes, they're award-worthy. Because love 'em or hate 'em, millions talked (or tweeted) about them. And along with North West and 'N Sync, "Breaking Bad" and Paula Deen breaking down, they made pop culture pop in 2013. »Read Full Article(1)
Reading the John Updike stories: 'Incest'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
The provocatively titled "Incest" returns us to a familiar situation in the early John Updike stories: A tired young husband home from work, a tired, bored young wife who's not getting any juice from him. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: birds, pinball, art and technology
You have to love that there are people in Wisconsin who get up early to look at birds in December. You could be one of them today, if you care to.
Afterward, we recommend warming up indoors and the contemplation of doings that require fewer layers. For instance, why not read arts and books editor Jim Higgins weekly take on John Updike's short stories. He posts his musings each Wednesday at 8 a.m. at the "Recommended Reading" blog. »Read Full Blog Post

Grail for Sale?
There is a company in Washingtonville, New York, called Moments In Time Manuscripts Inc. that sells rare artifacts--among them, oh, a letter in which John Lennon jokes about a Beatles reunion or an autographed copy of Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy that the former Beatle allegedly signed before Mark David Chapman shot him on December 8, 1980. Till now, the company has peddled mostly minor pieces of popular culture history. But that all changes with its brand-new acquisition: "The Holy Grail," the company calls it, and rightly so...should it turn out to be the real thing.
For $6 million, you can own what Moments In Time insists is the guitar Robert Johnson played on most, if not all, of the 41 sides he recorded for Columbia Records in both San Antonio and Dallas (at 508 Park Avenue, to be specific) in 1936 and '37. (Among the songs he recorded here June 19 and June 20, 1937, are no less than the likes of "Hellhound on My Trail," "Love in Vain" and "Traveling Riverside Blues.") The company's claiming it's the very instrument pictured in the famous photo at right--"a reasonably sharp print drenched in light which fortunately shows some very unique workmanship quirks." The Web site goes to great lengths to prove it's the Gibson L-1 acoustic model, which was made by the company between 1926 and 1930. But it doesn't go far enough, which is why some folks are doubting the authenticity of the item. There's a story in today's The Independent out of London that says Moments In Time's curator, Gary Zimet, refuses "to provide any additional information about the provenance of the instrument or the person who is selling it." Says Zimet in the article:
"'All I am authorised to tell you is that it was purchased in America, in the south, and that it is currently owned by a fellow living abroad. The owner is playing his cards very close to his vest.'" Asked as to how someone could be sure the guitar was genuine, he added: 'Any potential purchaser is welcome to examine it in person and have his or her own expert go over it with a toothcomb.'"
News of the guitar's discovery and sale came as a bit of a surprise to Johnson's grandson Steven, who runs the Robert Johnson Blues Foundation in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, not far from where the bluesman was born. Steven's gonna do some research, says The Independent, to find out whether it's the guitar from which damned near 70 years' worth of music springs or just a fake. Betcha six bucks Eric Clapton has his checkbook ready. --Robert Wilonsky

A Fairfield mother who snatched a tip jar off the counter at Westport's Village Bagels on New Year's Eve and then dipped into a second tip jar to pay for her order as her kids ran around the store has been arrested by Westport police.
They said an anonymous tip led them to Stacy Flanagan, 44, of Fairfield's Southport section after the manager of the store at 1874 Post Road East made a surveillance video available to local media. He said more than $100 was taken.
The video showed a woman wearing a parka with sunglasses on her head snatch the tip jar from the counter, put it under her parka, and quickly zip up the jacket. Seconds later she is seen taking money out of a nearby second tip jar as a young boy runs around a few feet away.
Police said Flanagan – who published reports said was arrested in 2010 on a shoplifting charge at a Fairfield Stop & Shop while with her 2-year-old daughter—turned herself in Friday at Westport police headquarters on an outstanding warrant and admitted taking the money.
She was charged with larceny sixth-degree theft from a building and two counts of risk of injury to a child. She was released after posting $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on March 3.
Ken Kaplan, manager of Village Bagels, told Cablevision News-12 when the video was released: "She took her time, and her son was walking back and forth and her daughter was trying to get some orange juice…and all while this was going on, she was doing her thing with the tip jar."
According to published reports, Fairfield police arrested Flanagan on Dec. 14, 2010 after she was attempting to leave the Fairfield Stop & Shop with more than $400 in groceries without paying. She was detained with her 2-year-old daughter, a police report said.
She reportedly told police she forgot to pay because she was in a rush to pick up her other child from school. She was charged with fifth-degree larceny, later pleaded guilty and was fined $300.

What does a negative complement fixation test show? A positive test?
Solutions for Chapter 35.3.2
What does a negative complement fixation test show? A positive test?
Complement fixation test is a good way to detect small amounts of antibodies, for a microorganism in question of an individual's blood serum. An antigen is mixed with test serum. This serum lacks complement. After allowing time, for immune complexes to form, the complement is added. If immune complexes are actually present, the complement will be fixed. Finally, indicator cells that are sensitized are added to mixture.
The following results are observed:
1. A positive complement test will not exhibit lysis of the indicator cells. This means that there are specific antibodies in the test serum.
2. A negative result will exhibit cell lysis. This means that antibodies are not present in the test serum.

Do league games get any bigger than Barcelona v Real Madrid? Probably not and the two heavyweight clash in a La Liga battle on Saturday evening. Barcelona are powering their way to the domestic title and start the game ten points clear of third placed Real Madrid. The Catalans have only lost one of their last seven at home against Real Madrid as well in the league, having won five of those seven.
So they have the form and they of course have what is an unstoppable forward line. Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar have been destroying defences all season and when Real Madrid and Barcelona met at the Bernabeu earlier in the season, Barcelona rolled off a thrilling 4-0 away victory. The Catalans are on a 22 match unbeaten streak in the league (W20, D2) having scored in every game in that sequence.
Open an account with online betting site Coral and back Barcelona a 10/1 enhanced odds to win.
Sign up with online betting site Coral as this is a new customer exclusive, then place your FIRST real money bet as a win single £5 on 'Barcelona to win 10/1'. The offer is for a £5 stake only. If the wager wins then you will be paid at cash at the normal price then receive free bets to top up to the enhanced price. If the bet loses then you will get your lost £5 stake back as a free bet!

By Wendy Koch, USA TODAY
The legislation, approved by the House in April, is the most sweeping tobacco-control measure ever passed by Congress. It goes now to President
The bill, which gives the Food and Drug Adminstration the authority to regulate tobacco products, comes after more than a decade of congressional debate and a half century since the U.S. Surgeon General's 1964 landmark report linking smoking to lung cancer.
"It's long overdue," said Democratic Sen.
The bill will dramatically affect how tobacco is marketed as the bill's provisions are phased in:
• Immediately, tobacco makers can no longer make claims that their products pose fewer health risks.
• Within three months, candy- and fruit-flavored cigarettes are banned, and the FDA can extend that ban to cigars and moist snuff, where such flavorings are more common. Menthol is exempt.
• Within nine months, the FDA must publish marketing restrictions that will take effect six months later.
• Within 12 months, new warning labels will be placed on smokeless tobacco products.
• Within 15 months, tobacco companies must disclose the ingredients in their products.
• Within two years, the FDA must issue rules on graphic warrnings for cigarettes that will cover half the pack. The labels will take effect 15 months later.
How exactly the market will change is unclear, says Tommy Payne, executive vice president of
Payne says the bill bans "light" or "ultra-light" cigarettes, which are slightly more than half the market, but it does not specify acceptable words for differentiating them from other cigarettes.
Payne says companies may need to use different packaging colors so smokers can find cigarettes with less tar. He says most currently package menthol cigarettes in some shade of green.
"Consumers have become acclimated to color coding," so removing terms such as "light" won't have a big impact, says Nik Modi, a tobacco industry analyst for UBS.
Tagging a cigarette "light" misleads smokers into thinking the product is less harmful, says Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
Myers says research shows "absolutely no health benefit" to smoking a "light" or "low tar" cigarette. "Consumers smoke them differently," he says. 'They inhale more deeply and smoke them further down."

GIS/CAMA Technologies Conference
Annual Conference for Professionals in Property Assessment, Tax Administration, Mapping and Information Technology
March 6-9, 2017 - Chattanooga, Tennessee
The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) and the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) partner together to provide a conference that assists assessment and appraisal professionals in visualizing how they can work more effectively through the use of technology. This conference explores the important role that integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) systems plays in providing access to data and analysis of information for better decision making within a jurisdiction.
- Call for Presentations - Abstract submissions due September 21, 2016
- Registration & Venue

Why Attend?
- As an appraiser, this conference is a wonderful way to see the power of GIS and how it is being utilized. For those in GIS, exposure to how your users are leveraging your systems, and what they need, is a wonderful way to enhance your operation. This conference is the ideal placed to be inspired by the work of others in our industry. - Scott Rountree, Augusta-Richmond County Board of Assessors
- Best and most valuable conference I attend every year. Technology is rapidly changing the way mass appraisal is administered and if you're not at this conference, you're not on the cutting edge of our industry. - Warren Dixon, Naperville Township (IL) Assessor
- The GIS/CAMA Conference has always provided a wonderful range of informative topics relevant to an ever-changing and emerging technology. Additionally, it's the best platform to mix and mingle with the "old-timers" who can mentor newcomers and for the newbies to bring novel ideas to the discussion. -Tony Lindauer, Jefferson County (KY) Property Valuation
- Sometimes we get bogged down in the minutia of our work. The conference gives you a week to share struggles and solutions with other people and get inspired again about what we do. -Danielle Simpson, Boulder County (CO) Assessor's Office
- CAMA/GIS is most beneficial to the technical staff in your jurisdiction. Ken Wilkinson, CFA, Lee (FL.) County Property Appraiser
- This conference has a high return on investment. Having an office representative attend the GIS/CAMA conference each each year is essential if you want to stay up-to-date with the latest GIS and modeling implementations. What you learn from presentations, and perhaps most importantly, conversations with peers from around the globe, are more than worth the price of admission. (And who doesn't want to learn how to use free, open-source software that improves assessment valuations and processes?) - Paul Bidanset, Real Estate Valuation Modeler (VA)
- The integration of GIS and CAMA is no longer an idea of the future, but instead a necessity for proper assessment practices today. The GIS/CAMA Technologies Conference gives their attendees many different possibilities to assist the way each individual office works. -Maureen Sterrenberg (IL)
Preliminary Conference Schedule
- Monday, March 6: Preconference Workshops and Opening Reception in Exhibition
- Tuesday, March 7, 2017: Opening Keynote Address, Breakout Sessions, Exhibition
- Wednesday, March 8, 2017: Breakout Sessions, General Sessions, Exhibition, Social Event
- Thursday, March 9, 2017: Breakout Sessions, Closing Keynote Address

Call for Presentations - Abstract Submissions Due September 21, 2016
The educational program is developed through a review of submissions received through the Call for Presentations. The 2017 Conference Committee welcomes the submission of individual papers, complete sessions, panels and lightning talks and has proposed a list of suggested program tracks and topics for consideration (note that all abstracts received will be reviewed and considered for the conference program regardless of the list below).
We welcome topics of interest for all levels of expertise, from beginner to expert. As always, International topics are encouraged.
GIS and CAMA Technologies – Practical Solutions:
|Integrating GIS & CAMA Data – Technical Topics:
|Parcel / Cadastral Mapping:
|Leveraging Emerging Technologies to Mine CAMA
and GIS Data:
Using GIS for Sub-parcel Inventory and Analysis:
Valuation and Analysis:
|Using Assessor's CAMA Data and GIS for Emergency Planning:
|Administrative Assessment Tasks Incorporating
CAMA and GIS:
Personal Development and Leadership Growth Tied to Technology:
Other topics of interest to the GIS and Assessment Professional
Again, these topics are only suggestions.
Presentation Format
- Single presentation—individual presentation that will be scheduled with several other presentations to form a cohesive session of 60-90 minutes in length. Each presenter is allotted 15-20 minutes, including questions from the attendees.
- Complete session—Comprised of one subject covered by one or more presenters. The expectation is that the depth and complexity of the issue merits the longer time. A complete session is 90 minutes in length.
- Lightning Talks—Short (5 minute) talks on a single subject. Concise and focused with few slides. The best Lightning Talks are entertaining and educational!
- Panel & Roundtable—A panel or roundtable is a 60-90 minute presentation which encourages interaction and discussion between the panelists and the audience. Panel presentations should include at least three panelists all speaking on aspects of a particular topic.
Note that:
- Presentations that market specific products and services are not acceptable at the conference. Opportunities to promote a company's products and services are abundant at the conference. The best presentations from technology service and product suppliers are delivered along with a client/user.
- All accepted presenters must submit either a formal paper (preferred but not required) or presentation with notes (i.e. PowerPoint/Prezi) during the conference for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Your session moderator will collect the papers/presentations during the conference on a thumb drive.
- All accepted presenters must register and pay the regular conference registration fee. Acceptance as a presenter does not register you for the conference — registration fees are required.

Driefontein's barrier trial preformance indicates star on course for Magic Millions double
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 04, 2012
DRIEFONTEIN showed she is right on track for a unique Magic Millions double with a brilliant barrier trial at Royal Randwick yesterday.
The outstanding three-year-old filly thrashed her rivals by a widening three lengths in her 1000m heat.
Regular jockey Tommy Berry described the Gai Waterhouse-trained Driefontein's trial win as "awesome" and syndicator Denise Martin of Star Thoroughbreds said the filly was showing all the signs she was back to her best.
"She jumped well, settled comfortably and when Tommy asked her to extend she showed terrific acceleration," Martin said.
"The stable is very happy with how she is coming along. She will either resume in the Wyong Magic Millions three-year-old on December 20 or there is also a race in Brisbane for her that she could resume in leading into the Gold Coast race on January 12."
Driefontein won the Magic Millions Classic for two-year-olds at the Gold Coast this year from stablemate No Looking Back (on protest).
She is striving to become the first Magic Millions Classic winner to train on and win the Magic Millions Guineas as a three-year-old.
Martin is forming a powerful team for the Magic Millions carnival, including boom juvenile filly She's Bella, who makes her debut in the Maiden Plate at Warwick Farm tomorrow.
She's Bella, a daughter of Martin's 2008 Golden Slipper winner Sebring, looked extra smart winning a barrier trial at Warwick Farm last month.
"She's Bella has drawn ideally (barrier three), it is a small field and she looks a major candidate," Martin said.
"If she runs as well as we expect, I know Gai is thinking to either run her again at Wyong or take her to Brisbane for her second start before the Magic Millions."
Martin also has Certitude, a debut winner at Rosehill two weeks ago, on the Magic Millions trail with Waterhouse hopeful of keeping her on a separate path to She's Bella on the way to the glamour Gold Coast juvenile race.

Skip to comments.Justices poised to strike down entire healthcare law
Posted on 03/28/2012 9:44:18 AM PDT by Bill Buckner
The courts conservatives sounded as though they had determined for themselves that the 2,700-page measure must be declared unconstitutional.
"One way or another, Congress will have to revisit it in toto," said Justice Antonin Scalia.
Agreeing, Justice Anthony Kennedy said it would be an "extreme proposition" to allow the various insurance regulations to stand after the mandate was struck down.
Meanwhile, the court's liberal justices argued for restraint. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the court should do a "salvage job," not undertake a wrecking operation." But she looked to be out-voted.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. said they shared the view of Scalia and Kennedy that the law should stand or fall in total. Along with Justice Clarence Thomas, they would have a majority to strike down the entire statute as unconstitutional.

>> "There is an unseemly conservative obsession with the mandate, IMO" <<
What is so unseemly?
The mandate is the essence of what is wrong with Obamacare. The rest of the bill just tampers with a medical system that has completely failed its prime mission anyway. (The Hypocratic oath has been turned on its head)
Great point...Ginsberg's attitude makes the point that we have been making for years: the left legislates from the bench and sees nothing wrong in doing so. She spoke in an unguarded moment...her comment needs to be played up.
Now that's saying it as it is.
Pray without ceasing for this court!
I wonder if we'd be stuck with those regulations now. Is it like Bin Laden, once he's dead, he's dead? Did the law give them the power to pass regulations, that then become set in stone? Or do these regulations have to go away once the law that said they could pass them goes away? Like the birth control thing...does that regulation stand or does overturning the law now mean that the government no longer has the authority to enforce that regulation?
Yes, like Obama could get anything through the current House. Yes. Right. Sure.
More spin from our radical communist muslim leader.
The bill had no legitimate purpose; it needs to be chucked.
Congress should set out to educate the people that they do not need doctors, nor hospitals nor insurance; all that is needed is a Real Food Diet to be healthy.
My dad was right.
If the court's liberals had any respect for the Constitution and Rule of Law, they would join with the conservatives in ridding this nation of this assault on our liberty and economy.
You're mistaken. Bush during his 2nd term appeared to have capitulated and was listening to his liberal wife for advice. The first SCOTUS he proposed was Harriet Myers who would have been an unmitigated liberal disaster.
It was a group of staunch conservatives outside of Congress that got in front of Bush and said "NO!". They brought Roberts. Later they brought Alito. One of these conservatives was Fred Thompson of Tennessee.
"Anyone know whose Constitution she was reading when she said this?"
Anthony Kennedy
Anthony McLeod Kennedy (born July 23, 1936) is an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, having been appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. Since the retirement of Sandra Day O'Connor, Kennedy has often been the "swing vote" on many of the Court's politically charged 54 decisions.[2][3][4]
During Kennedy's time as a California law professor and attorney, he helped California Governor Ronald Reagan draft a state tax proposal.[6]
Kennedy has served in numerous positions during his career, including the California Army National Guard in 1961 and the board of the Federal Judicial Center from 1987 to 1988. He also served on two committees of the Judicial Conference of the United States: the Advisory Panel on Financial Disclosure Reports and Judicial Activities (subsequently renamed the Advisory Committee on Codes of Conduct) from 1979 to 1987, and the Committee on Pacific Territories from 1979 to 1990, which he chaired from 1982 to 1990.
On March 3, 1975, upon Reagan's recommendation,[6] President Gerald Ford nominated Kennedy to the seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that had been vacated by Charles Merton Merrill. Kennedy was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on March 20, 1975, and received his commission on March 24, 1975.
Kennedy said about Griswold v. Connecticut (a privacy case regarding contraceptives), "I really think I would like to draw the line and not talk about the Griswold case so far as its reasoning or its result."[13] He also discussed "a zone of liberty, a zone of protection, a line that's drawn where the individual can tell the Government, 'Beyond this line you may not go.'"[14][15]
Though appointed by a Republican president, Kennedy is not easily pigeonholed ideologically. He has tended to look at cases individually instead of deciding upon them on the basis of some rigid ideology.[6] As Kennedy said at a reunion of his law clerks, "We always tried to get it right." Georgetown University Law Center professor Randy Barnett has described Kennedy's jurisprudence as "libertarian,"[17] although other legal scholars have disagreed.[18]
Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor have been swing votes in many 5-4 and 6-3 decisions on the Rehnquist and Roberts courts. On issues of religion, he holds to a less separationist reading of the Establishment Clause than did O'Connor, favoring a "Coercion Test" that he detailed in County of Allegheny v. ACLU.[19]
Kennedy has supported adding substance to the "liberty" interest protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which means he supports a constitutional right to abortion in principle, though he has voted to uphold several restrictions on that right, including laws to prohibit partial-birth abortions. He is "tough on crime" and opposes creating constitutional restrictions on the police, especially in Fourth Amendment cases involving searches for illegal drugs, although there are some exceptions, such as his concurrence in Ferguson v. City of Charleston. He also takes a very broad view of constitutional protection for speech under the First Amendment,[citation needed] invalidating a congressional law prohibiting "virtual" child pornography in the 2002 decision, Ashcroft v. ACLU.[20]
Kennedy has joined with Court majorities in decisions favoring states' rights and invalidating federal and state affirmative action programs. He ruled with the majority on Equal Protection grounds in the controversial 2000 Bush v. Gore case that halted continuing recounts in the 2000 presidential election and ended the legal challenge to the election of President George Bush.
Analysis of Supreme Court tenure
Kennedy has reliably issued conservative rulings during most of his tenure, having voted with William Rehnquist as often as any other justice from 1992 to the end of the Rehnquist Court in 2005.[40] In his first term on the court, Kennedy voted with Rehnquist 92 percent of the timemore than any other justice.[41]
On the Roberts Court, Kennedy often decides the outcome of a case. In the 20082009 term, he was in the majority 92 percent of the time. In the 23 decisions in which the justices split 5-to-4, Kennedy was in the majority in all but five. Of those 23 decisions, 16 were strictly along ideological lines, and Kennedy joined the conservative wing of the court 11 times; the liberals, 5.[44]
I think, in this case, Kennedy will see the vast overeach by the Fed's that removes "individual liberty" with such a mandate.
>> "Sending prayers." <<
How many weeks until they actually rule on this? When can we expect their ruling?
-—Were relying on Kennedy to determine the validity of the US Constitution here.-—
We almost made it to 250 years. Not bad, historically.
It's strange that a reversion to a (leftist) aristocracy is regarded as "progressive."
The mandate is to single-payer health care as school choice vouchers are to a government school monopoly. The mandate was created to try to peel off enough Democrat votes from single-payer in the '90s to pass a less onerous and more conservative health care bill. Just as conservatives would love school choice vouchers now rather than see kids forced to go to public schools. It's all very relative. But once a health care mandate is off the table, everyone should be assured single-payer will get a big boost and more unity on the left than it's ever had before. It will be passed if they get the presidency and Congress again.
"it" is also helping to destroy the US from without as well as within (eg. "Muslim Spring")
Hillary provides Egypt with the cash, while her cohort Ruth Bader Ginsburg provides them with "constitutional advice".
It seemed to me yesterday and the day before that the only one who was solidly in Zero's camp was Ginsburg.
Breyer probably is also, but he didn't ask many questions.
Surprisingly, Sotomayer also had a very skeptical tone to her questions!
" Its strange that a reversion to a (leftist) aristocracy is regarded as progressive.
Most thoughtful post of the day!
To wit.....why are Pelosi, Reid and Obama regarded as "LIBERALS" ?
Kennedy appears to be the one most inclined to scrap it, and that is no surprise, since he is the court's only libertarian.
But.........seeing the Liberal members on the Court, they are strongly subverting the correct and valid legal guidelines described in the Constitution. If it were not for Kennedy, we would be losing this right now.
The Democrats on the court, clearly vote along their Marxist Party line. They have no regard for the legalities clearly spelled out in great detail in the Constitution. They avoid the rule of law, and vote on the grounds of discovery. They are in this to corrupt the foundation of the Constitution at every opportunity.
Their votes are clearly against the Rule of Law, which should automatically be grounds for impeachment.
If the whole thing is overturned, it brands Obama a failure, and he likely gets defeated and fades away.
If the whole thing is upheld, it will make the rise of the Tea Party in 2009 look like a pee-wee soccer game. All Hell will break loose on the right and Obama and the Democrat majorities will be thrown out in an effort to repeal ObamaCare.
" If the courts liberals had any respect for the Constitution and Rule of Law, "
Simple, they are NOT liberals.....they are radical leftists.
If it is struck down, the Pubs must MUST bring
into question the competence of the administration
and focus on the lost time and money spent on this
wasteful effort.
As far as Ginsburg "salvaging" any thing from it,
that is not her job and should she attempt such a
thing should be impeached along with Kagan for
not recusing herself.
That's my opinion.
Yeah, well, color me skeptical, particularly since she helped get it passed in the first place. Maybe.
Agreed. I feel like the MSM is playing rope-a-dope.
Methinks we are being setup...
Sounds like Soros didn't hire enough cheap college interns to write a good health care bill. Oh well, you get what you pay for!
" I think, in this case, Kennedy will see the vast overeach by the Fed's that removes "individual liberty" with such a mandate. "
With Obamacare, substitute "indentured servitude" for "individual liberty"
Kagen did, never heard Sotomayer was involved...
I doubt they will humiliate the Court in order to save hussein his well deserved humiliation.
We have to remember this is no ordinary administration. They have shown they are extremely adept at screwing the pooch at every turn. It's entirely possible the Court will find no way to save them from themselves.
On a side note as a Red Sox fan I hate your name......
Sorry, talk about profiling! I tend to lump them together in my mind. I did mean Kagan, not Sotomayer.
Progressivism = Reversion to Ancient Barbarism
Abortion -> Spartan Eugenics
Homosexualism -> Sodom and Gommorrah
Racial Politics -> Primitive Tribalism
Obamacare -> Caesarean Dictatorship
" If it is struck down, the Pubs must MUST bring
into question the competence of the administration
and focus on the lost time and money spent on this
wasteful effort."
The Pubs "must" ?
In the past month, Boehner has:
1) Taken Rush Limbaugh to the wood shed
2) Spoken in favor of trial re: Trayvon
3) Warned Republicans not to criticise Obama, while overseas...regardless of his traitorious doings.
No, we need to clean house in Congress next.
The mandate is nothing but a pay-off to buy the acquiescence of insurance companies. Obamacare was Single Payer's foot in the door, in preparation to its grand entrance in 2014.
Cornhusker Kickback
Louisiana Purchase
Pass it to find out what's in the bill
This is a big effing deal man
Midnight vote
No hearings
If Obama loses in November and Ginsburg and Breyer immediately resign so that Obama can nominate their replacement, there is NO WAY that the Senate will vote to confirm prior to the new president being sworn in on January 20, 2013 (at which time the new president would surely remove the nominations and nominate two other candidates), much less before the new Senate (which will have a GOP majority) takes over on January 3, 2013. There are 47 Republicans in the Senate, and even with a few RINOs there, it is unfathomable that we would fail to get 41 of them to filibuster last-minute nominations by a defeated, lame-duck Democrat president.
If Ginsburg and Breyer wanted Obama to name their replacements, they should have retired in 2009 or 2010.
Yes, of all the justices of the last two decades, Kennedy has done the least damage to the bill of rights.
Great post!
Hee Hee! That's funny.
"Im not sure why they just dont give a tax credit for insurance payments."
Might it be the people they want to bring into the system don't pay any taxes, or not much. How can you give them a credit? The math doesn't work out. That's why.
KNEEDLER: ... we think that severability is a matter of statutory interpretation. It should be resolved by looking at the structure and the text of the Act, and the Court may look at legislative history to figure out what the text and structure mean with respect to severability. We don't -

Greg P. Russell on the 7.1 experience of 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'
Gerard will be diving into the contenders for Best Sound Mixing in a future Tech Support column, but for now, it's safe to say that, as always, the latest "Transformers" installment will figure in heavily. We spotlighted the sound work on the film back in June.
Greg P. Russell is at the mixing station once again on "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," handling the implementation of sound effects. In a recent interview with Michael Coleman of the SoundWorks Collection, specifically detailing the unique 7.1 surround sound mix of the effort, he lays out how special the platform really is.
"I knew from the first early days that this was going to be special," Greg says in the piece. "This was going to be uniquely different than what we've done before and there was going to be a lot of surround information in the movie. It's wonderful to have that kind of discreet feel, to have distinct information. And it's clean. You're hearing that separation. So the definition of what you're creating I find to be superior to the standard 5.1 experience."
For some more background, here is the Soundworks Collection's coverage of a recent 7.1 symposium held at Dolby up in Northern California.
Reviews of the DVD/Blu-ray for "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" have already called the home theatre mix "reference quality." It was my favorite of a franchise I haven't really liked all that much, but the below-the-line stuff on this series has been impeccable. So I'll pick it up on Blu-ray when it drops tomorrow, if just to give my surround system a hearty workout and hear Russell and the rest of the team's hard work once more.
Here's the interview in full:
And by the way, I just noticed the SoundWorks Collection recently profiled the popular "Angry Birds" video game. That is certainly worth a look (and listen). What a great idea.
