Attendees of the Democracy Convention in Madison in late August were treated to panels on a host of different issues, from democratic media to racial inequality. The Center for Media and Democracy was one of the sponsors of the convention, and our own Lisa Graves and Brendan Fischeraddressed democracy activists.
"The only thing we can do is to choose whether we fight for rights of people, freedom and democracy or whether we sit it out on the sidelines." ~ Stewart Acuff, Utility Workers Union of America
The discussion of workers' rights, the assault on organized labor, and the conversation of what it all means has never been a hotter topic as we approach Labor Day 2011.
For some, there wasn't a better venue for America's first Democracy Convention than the in-your-face capitol of local democracy, Madison, Wisconsin — a state with a long history of progressive sensibilities. Earlier this years thousands of protesters converged upon the capitol in response to Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican legislative majority's decision to end collective bargaining for public employees — a fight that is not over and one leading to a test of Walker's reelection capability.
Madison - Wisconsin leads the country so far in cuts to state aid for schools, a new report shows.
The study by the liberal Center for Budget and Policy Priorities looked at the 24 states where the budget data is available.
Wisconsin cut school aid by $635 per pupil this year, topping other states including New York, California and Ohio, according to the report. Over the past four years, the state's annual aid to schools is down $776 per pupil after adjusting for inflation, putting Wisconsin at fourth in the country so far in cuts.
From August 24th to August 28, 2011 over 1200 people from around the country convened in Madison for a Democracy Convention designed to further the growing nationwide Democracy Movmeent. This event, sponsored by the Liberty Tree Foundation (which also sponsors the Wisconsin Wave) gave participants and organizers alike the skills to return to their communities and fight for Democracy where it matters most -- in our schools, our workplaces and local economies, our military, our govern
Say what you want about Take Back the Land-Madison, whose members have occupied a handful of foreclosed properties to protest public policies that put families out on the street. Their tactics are audacious, if nothing else. It's a brand of activism with the power to rally the allies and antagonize opponents.
AUDIO: Soglin full speech (14:30)
Labor supporters go from the streets and into breakout sessions at the Democracy Convention in Madison. Mayor Paul Soglin kicked off the event reflecting on this year's massive protests and continued fight against changes by Governor Walker and the Republican majority. He says until then the public was not paying enough attention.
"We cannot rest and assume that others are going to take care of our society," says Soglin.
There may be no other convention where you can learn about the history of civil disobedience, go to a class called Organizing 101, and discuss how to make a general strike succeed.
The first ever Democracy Convention will be held in Madison Wednesday through Sunday.
"It's the first national gathering in my lifetime that has focused on the underlying question of who rules," said Ben Manski, former co-chair of the Green Party of the U.S. and an event organizer. "[It] is not just interested in criticizing the lack of democracy in the United States but is devoted toward strengthening the movement to achieve the American promise of democracy."
The first Democracy Convention got under way Wednesday, and the five-day gathering is expected to draw up to 1,000 political and social activists from across the country.
The convention brought together at least two generations of left-wing activists ready to hash out such issues as voting rights, access to education and U.S. constitutional reform.
Tom Hayden, a key figure in anti-war demonstrations during the Vietnam era, was among the scheduled keynote speakers. The convention was organized by Ben Manski, a 37-year-old Madison attorney and former co-chairman of the national Green Party.
The timing could not be better, but organizers say plans for this week's Democracy Convention in Madison were set before Gov. Scott Walker's introduction of his collective bargaining bill and the ensuing protests that led some to compare the uprising in Wisconsin to democratic rebellions in Egypt and Tunisia.

The gaffe-prone candidacies of Michele "Elvis" Bachmann and Rick "C'mon, Men, Let's String Us Up Some Bernanke" Perry, and the slapstick non-candidacy of Sarah "Two If by Sea" Palin, are merely the cheap theater of an ill-defined Republican presidential race. The real drama of the 2012 race continues to come from the CEO party's CEO candidate: Willard Mitt Romney.
Wisconsin voters have shown time and time again that they are not extremists. Voters in largely Republican areas of the state sent a message in recent days that the actions of those in charge of state government have been too extreme by voting for greater moderation.
In unprecedented state senate recall elections, the number of legislators removed from office in this manner over the 163-year history of Wisconsin was doubled in a single summer. A third of Republican senators targeted for recall were ousted, while two others narrowly survived election-day scares. All three of the targeted Democratic senators were returned to office by comfortable margins.
Five months to the day after the Republican majority in the Wisconsin state Senate voted to approve Gov. Scott Walker's plan to strip most collective bargaining rights from public employees, two of the governor's most prominent allies in the chamber have been removed from office.
Western Wisconsin state Sen. Dan Kapanke and eastern Wisconsin Sen. Randy Hopper were both defeated in recall elections that provided a powerful indication of the state's anger with Walker's assault on worker rights.

Quotes from the $250,000 Dixiana Elkhorn (G2)
Sandy Adkins (assistant to Gerry Aschinger, winning trainer of Dramedy)
On the decision to run Dramedy at 1½ miles for the first time
"Every time he's run, he's closed at the end and been hard to pull up after going a mile, a mile and a sixteenth. So a mile and a half was perfect. When they said the mile went in 1:40, I said, 'Oh my gosh. We've got this.' Because I knew (jockey Joe Bravo would) have a ton of horse, and he did."
On Dramedy having found a niche at 1½-mile races
"Absolutely. I wish they wrote them more often."

Howard Stringer, the president of Sony USA, has posted an apology letter on Sony's website, and while the letter doesn't offer any more info on the attacks or Sony's response, it is an interesting read. We already know that Sony is offering PSN gamers compensation for their stolen data, as well as hugely beefing up security for free, but Stringer's letter is the emotional, personal response to the issue. Stringer apologizes to gamers, writing:
"As a company we — and I — apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused by this attack."
Stringer goes on to explain the amount of time that Sony took to notify consumers as to the security breach:
"I know some believe we should have notified our customers earlier than we did. It's a fair question. As soon as we discovered the potential scope of the intrusion, we shut down the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services and hired some of the best technical experts in the field to determine what happened. I wish we could have gotten the answers we needed sooner, but forensic analysis is a complex, time-consuming process. Hackers, after all, do their best to cover their tracks, and it took some time for our experts to find those tracks and begin to identify what personal information had — or had not — been taken."
I was most struck by this quote from Stringer:
"In the last few months, Sony has faced a terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan. But now we are facing a very man-made event – a criminal attack on us — and on you — and we are working with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies around the world to apprehend those responsible."
While the entire letter is carefully crafted, neutral corporate-speak, the above paragraph almost seems to show anger at the situation and the people responsible, as well as tying Sony and gamers together as co-victims in the security breach. Tacitly comparing the security breach to the recent natural disasters in Japan is a bit tasteless, but it shows the seriousness with which Sony is taking the situation, and exactly how disastrous they regard it as.
Of course, most PSN gamers are most interested in one question: When will the PSN be back up? According to Stringer, it will be in the "coming days."
"In the coming days, we will restore service to the networks and welcome you back to the fun. I wanted to personally reach out and let you know that we are committed to serving you to the very best of our ability, protecting your information better than ever, and getting you back to what you signed up for – all the games and great entertainment experiences that you expect from Sony."
So, what do you think of Stringer's letter? Let us know in our comment section.

Back Again: Stevenson Drops Lynchburg
from press release
OWINGS MILLS, Md. - For the fourth time in the last five years, the Stevenson men's lacrosse team has advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship as the fourth-ranked Mustangs got four points from senior Peter Green (Hereford, Md./Hereford) en route to a 13-7 victory over No. 13 Lynchburg Wednesday night at Mustang Stadium.
With the win, Stevenson (20-2) also set a new school record for wins in a season, becoming the first team in the 19-year history of the program to win 20 games.
A total of 1,276 fans watched tonight's game, the second-largest lacrosse crowd in the history of Mustang Stadium. The record is 2,184 set on Apr. 14, 2012 when the Mustangs fell to rival Salisbury, 11-10.
Six different Mustangs scored as they built a 6-1 lead over the game's first 16:54 with Green contributing a goal and one assist.
The Hornets (14-6) answered with a quick 3-0 spurt in a span of 4:11 to cut their deficit to just two at 6-4 with 6:34 remaining in the second quarter. However, that was as close as Lynchburg would get as Stevenson's leading goal scorer, sophomore Mark Pannenton (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna), scored two goals in the final 39 seconds to give the Mustangs an 8-4 halftime advantage.
Following the break, Stevenson scored five of the first six goals in the second half to take its largest lead of the night at eight, 13-5 with 7:59 left in the fourth quarter, the last of which was a 30-second goal by sophomore Billy Burgoyne (Boonton Township, N.J./Mountain Lakes).
Pannenton finished the game with three goals and now has 56 on the year, moving him into fifth place on the school's single-season list. Neal Barthelme set the record with 73 in 2011, the same year Jimmy Dailey had 60 to rank second on that list.
Meanwhile, junior Chris Dashiell (Salisbury, Md./Parkside) had one assist, raising his season total to 53 which is third for a single-season at Stevenson. He also scored his 82nd point, moving him into ninth in school history.
Freshman Dimitri Pecunes (Lutherville, Md./Calvert Hall) totaled 12 saves, including eight in the second half. The Mustangs won 16-of-22 faceoffs with sophomore Sam Wyatt (Brentwood, Tenn./Human Services) going 9-for-12 and junior Brent Hiken (Pikesville, Md./Pikesville) winning 7-of-10.
Max Voumard scored four of Lynchburg's seven goals while Adam Davey made 16 saves, nine of which came in the second half.
Stevenson, who is now 11-4 in five NCAA tournament appearances, hosts rival Salisbury in the semifinals of the 2013 NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. The Mustangs will be looking for their first win in four semifinal contests and first in three against the 12th-ranked Sea Gulls.

La Crosse Central head boys track and field coach Niels Anderson considers senior Sawyer Smith one of the top recruits in the nation for decathlon. Need any evidence? Smith has been recruited by over 50 programs all across the nation including teams like LSU and Arkansas.
Smith gave his verbal commitment to the University of Wisconsin. Factors tilting the scale towards the way of the Badgers included the chance to stay close at home as well as a chance to work with legendary coaches Ed Nuttycombe and Mark Guthrie.
Wisconsin emerged as the winning school after Smith narrowed his search down to five - Wisconsin, Minnesota, LSU, Arkansas, and a Northern Iowa program that was one of the few schools actually offering a full-ride scholarship.
Smith should enter the 2013 season as the top ranked athlete in the long jump, high jump, and 400 meter dash. He played a pivotal role in the Red Raiders state runner-up finish at the 2012 WIAA State Track and Field Meet despite a cramp that slowed him down during the first day of competition.

Don't miss a chance of a lifetime to visit the holy mausoleums of our beloved imams (as) in Iraq and Iran on the Al-Asr Short Vacation Course.
Our short courses in English are rich in Islamic education and designed to highlight the practical elements of Islam to the Muslim youth
Our skilled teachers and volunteers committed to promoting education in religious, social, moral and cultural values within society.
Al-Asr's philosophy is to learn about Islam and unite people by propagating Islam in accordance with the traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) and his family.
The Short Vacation Course (SVC) was started with the objective of giving our youth a more suitable environment to learn their religion. Whilst living in some non-Muslim countries it is often difficult for us to acquire Islam moral values. This trip take our children to a more healthy and Islamic environment to let them get touch with and learn more about their religion.
In 1995 Al-Asr established a madrasah in Woking, Surrey, UK. The madrasah is for children aged six and above. The academic term runs from September to July every year and classes are held throughout the week. The madrasah is headed by Hujjatul Islam Dr Abbas Naqvi.
In 2006, Al-Asr purchased a building on Goldsworth Road in Woking, which provides social, educational and religious activities. Al-Asr independently provides educational and religious activities for the local community. Woking is famous in the UK as it accommodates the oldest mosque in Britain, built in the late 1900's.

Arrests made on heroin charges
MARIETTA – A Vincent man was arrested for the second time in less than a month Friday on a charge of heroin possession.
Michael Von Richards, 35, of 1365 McGill Road, Vincent, was previously arrested for possession of heroin on Jan. 29, but had been released on a personal recognizance bond.
He was arrested on a second possession charge Friday at a camping trailer in the 600 block of Charles Street.
Three other area residents were also arrested Friday for being involved or assisting with a heroin distribution ring Richards was allegedly operating out of a motel room in the 700 block of Pike Street in Marietta, according to a report from the Washington County Sheriff's Office. Investigators did not release the name of the motel.
Agents with the Washington County Major Crimes Task Force executed a search warrant at the motel room Friday after receiving information that Richards was selling heroin there. While agents were in the room, Samantha C. Lemon, 31, of 508 Sixth St., Marietta – an employee of the motel – arrived at the room.
Lemon told investigators she had been asked by Richards' girlfriend, Abby Lynne Roach, 19, of 804 Fourth St., Marietta, to go to the room and remove any drug paraphernalia that had been left behind by Richards and Shawn Anthony Gill, 33, of 39504 Road Fork Road, Lower Salem.
She said Richards and Gill had rented the room for the past week. Lemon also said she was dating Gill and had warned he and Richards that task force agents were enroute to the room, allowing the pair to escape.
Lemon was arrested on a second-degree misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.
Richards and Gill were located at a camper on Charles Street where Richards was arrested on a third-degree felony charge of possession of heroin.
Gill was arrested on a violation of parole related to a previous arrest for theft, according to the sheriff's report.
Roach was located in the parking lot of a nearby grocery store and was arrested on a fifth-degree felony charge of heroin possession.
Richards, Gill, Lemon and Roach were transported to the Washington County Jail where they remained Sunday in lieu of bond pending an appearance in Marietta Municipal Court.

Interesting, informative article.
Wrap your looking vessels around it and let's talk KO business.
Engorge yourself on this.
HOOPSWORLD executive editor Jason Fleming inadvertently stumbled upon the main topic for todays NBA PM when he tweeted, Playing with ESPNs NBA playoff predictor and the Knicks upset the Bulls disturbingly often.
ESPNs Playoff Simulator is a fun little toy where you can run different playoff scenarios, and Jason was right. Its somewhat peculiar how often the Knickswho are currently seeded eighth in the Eastern Conference Playoff pictureupset the would-be top-seeded Bulls. The two teams are separated by 14 and a half games in the standings, after all.
The simulator may not be accounting for Knicks forward Amare Stoudemires back injury, which will keep him out indefinitely and may require surgery. It also may omit the fact that Jeremy Lin has a bad knee, which has left him day to day. But all that doesnt mean the simulator is wrong.
In truth, this is a topic that Ive been considering in one form or another for some time and now, with Jasons accidental prompting, Im happy to delve into further.
Remember the Memphis Grizzlies upset of the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs in last years playoffs? Lionel Hollins team was thought to be overmatched as it was playing without injured small forward Rudy Gay against a San Antonio team that was coming off a 61-win season.
Well there are quite a few similarities between that six-game series and the theoretical one the Bulls and Knicks would take part in if the standings stay constant through the regular seasons final month.
Here are a few things to keep in mind about a potential Bulls-Knicks series:
The most-recent development is the injury to Stoudemire and thats nothing to take lightly. Under no circumstances is that an advantage for the Knicks just as losing Gay wasnt an advantage for the Grizzlies. But what makes New York a dangerous underdog is the efficient way interim coach Mike Woodson can adjust the offense. Just as Hollins turned to Zach Randolph, who made 50% of his field goals in the Spurs series, Woodson can move Carmelo Anthony to the post where hes a far more efficient player.
Dont believe me?
Before Woodson moved Anthony to power forward in Stoudemires absence in Mondays win over the Bucks, the All-Star had attempted just seven free throws over his previous three games (he also made just 16 of 42 field goals during that stretch, mostly relying on perimeter shots). But playing closer to the basket on offense against Milwaukee allowed Anthony to make 8 of 20 field goals and get to the line where he made all 12 free throw attempts. The result was arguably Anthonys best game since joining the Knicks: 28 points, 12 boards, one block, one steal.
And Anthonys move to the post wasnt just about Stoudemires absence. It was really Woodsons effort to get Anthony to play to his strengths.
Tonight, and even last game, for me, I wanted to get stuff close to the basket, said Anthony, who last scored over 20 points in a game back on Jan. 20th. My shot hasnt been falling as of late, get some easy baskets, get to the post, get fouled, get to the foul line and then start working inside out. Thats something Ive been doing, you know, my whole career. I just started back doing that these last couple of games.
Another connection between this years Knicks team and last seasons Grizzlies is the brand of defense they play. New York currently ranks fifth in the NBA in defensive efficiency and the team has gotten only stingier since Woodsons promotion (it ranked seventh when former coach Mike DAntoni stepped down). Memphis ranked eighth in defensive efficiency a year ago and with Gay out of the lineup against the Spurs, Hollins turned to a more defensive rotation, giving significant minutes to Sam Young, Tony Allen, Shane Battier and Greivis Vasquez (who, at 6-6, is a decent defensive point guard for his size alone).
The Knicks defense has relied on center Tyson Chandler and injured forward Jared Jeffries, but Woodson has also gotten players like Anthony and J.R. Smithwho were never thought of as great defendersto give full effort on that end of the floor.
New York also has a special defensive advantage over Chicago.
Since the Bulls never added a threat at shooting guardgeriatric Richard Hamilton (who is battling a shoulder injury) averages 11.3 PPG, but has his lowest Player Efficiency Rating (12.78) since his first years in the leaguethe Knicks wont be punished for keeping perimeter defensive ace Iman Shumpert on reigning MVP Derrick Rose. Lin can guard Hamilton or Ronnie Brewer without fear of giving up too much while the 6-6 Shumpert can focus his talents on Rose.
Remember, Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel gave the league a blueprint for defending Rose in the first round of last years playoffs when he put 6-9 swingman Paul George on the All-Star. Rose finished the series shooting 37.1 percent from the field. He still scored 27.6 PPG and the Bulls won in five games, but Rose had to take 21 shots per game to get to that average and a better all-around team than last seasons Indiana squad likely would have made Chicago pay for its overreliance on Rose.
The Knicks didnt really implement that strategy in their two losses to the Bulls so far this season, but that was an eternity ago for this team. New York is 7-1 since Woodsons promotion and has played far more efficiently on both sides of the floor in the last few weeks.
One similarity these Bulls have with last years Spurs is age. The 34-year-old Hamilton and 30-year-old Carlos Boozer have each logged between 25 and 30 minutes per game this season and its not difficult to envision them slowing down in a seven-game series just as Tim Duncan (12.7 PPG, 62.5% from the line, 47.8% from the field in that series) and Antonio McDyess (5.7 PPG, 41.7% from the field) did against Randolph (21.5 PPG, 9.2 rpg) and Marc Gasol (14.2 PPG, 12.3 RPG, 53.3% from the field) last April.
Lastly, these Knicks are built like last seasons Grizzlies. Both teams had a lot of depth, which kept them fresher for the postseason. New York relies heavily on backups Smith, Shumpert, Jeffries and Baron Davis. Assuming Davis (who has a hamstring issue) and Jeffries (knee) can still play in May, this unit poses a definite threat to any opponent in a best-of-seven series.
The Knicks depth is one reason they have a +2.3 point differential this season. Often times eighth seeds come in with negative differentials or differentials of less than a point. But just as Memphis had last season (+2.3) this Knicks team outscored its opponents by a significant amount this year. Yes, they had a few losing streaks (just as the 2010-2011 Grizzlies had) but on average, Woodsons squad is particularly potentespecially for an eighth seed.
Could the Knicks Get Deeper?
MSG analyst and former Newsday beat writer Alan Hahn made a bold suggestion that warrants mentioning. If the Knicks are worried about depth without Stoudemire, they could sign Rasheed Wallace who is rumored to be on the verge of a comeback and looked to be in good shape at several recent charity games.
Wallace and Woodson worked together in Detroit when Woodson was an assistant under Larry Brown.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
All season long, every fan, player, and analysist knew what the Knicks were capable of. It's almost like having a room full of people looking over at the bear in the room, only the bear doesn't know what the f|_|ck it's doing yet. But once that bear finds out, those people are probably better off getting out of there immediately, bears don't like to be confined to small rooms, especially with strangers around.
Maybe that analogy went too in depth, I got carried away there.
But what I was getting at is that the Knicks were always in the playoff picture up until the downfall of D'Antoni. Now that they have eliminated that issue, Woodson has the team playing better than ever, which is frightening. There's so much depth that Woodson most likely has trouble deciding who gets the garbage minutes (jokes on Jordan and Douglas, because you know, they know their place on this team).
Yeah, the Knicks can go far. That was always a possibility, now it appears as if they realized it themselves.
Doubt the Knicks can take the Bulls in the first round, but it's a possibility. The Bulls just play too well together and Derrick has amazing heart.
Regardless if Shumpert plays Rose, Rose will get his 25+ PPG. That's what he does. I feel a key to the victory would be to make sure Boozer doesn't get any action. The paint needs to be protected. They like to drive and cut in a lot. Boozer and Noah have some fantastic chemistry. Deng could go off at any moment though and the Bulls also play phenomenal D.
We can possibly win though. I really trust in Woodson. We'll get a better idea when the Knicks play the bulls twice in a row.
Not a chance, Bulls even without Rose are better than every team in NBA maybe except Spurs. Their defence is just too good people say that we lost by 4pts and 5pts so we have a chance which is flawed logic. It doesn't matter if you lose by 20 or 5 loss is a loss. Bulls will step up their D even more in playoffs. I would be happy If we could steal 1 game since we haven't won playoff game since 2001 which is really embarrasing for this proud franchise.
Everyone talks about Bulls and Heat, but I feel the Celtics would give us serious problems in the playoffs as well. We just struggle with that team. Maybe it'll be different under Woodson. We'll see
IIRC.....the last time we had a shortened season in the NBA, the Knicks (8th seed) upset the Heat (1st seed) with the Houston running jumper.......that was an EPIC SERIES!!!
I know its fun talking about us upsetting them but i just can't see it, maybe if we get on a major hot streak going into the playoffs but the Bulls can beat us in so many ways, mainly with defense but in second thought our defense has been lockdown with Woody and if it comes down to a 75-85 scoring game, i think we have the better firepower to pull out the victory but that is yet to be seen.
While Amare's injury is a horrible thing for us, there is a silver lining there. Playing time.
Ramping up Shumpert to a 35 minute per game player will be necessary for him to be capable of running after D Rose for an entire series.
Getting Baron involved in the offense more will allow him much more continuity when he comes in to replace Lin.
Right now the Bulls are superior to us on the inside and probably slightly weaker on the outside. When Amare is back and playing as well as he did 10 days ago, we are pretty even on the inside.
The Bulls might be 6-2 in their current stretch without Rose but they win EVERY game with defense. If we can defend up to their standards we could easily upset the odds.
I don't wanna play the Bulls in the first round. Plain and simple.
I want Miami and knock them out!
Or atleast suck enough energy out of them so the Bulls can beat them in the Conference Finals.
As long as we're not good enough to win a championship ourselves, the main mission is to prevent thos ****ing Heat from getting one.
without Lin and Amare....with Jeffries and Davis on a thin thread...I dont expect an upset
Only an upset if we were actually healthy.
But who knows, this season has been so unpredictable.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
If Amare and Jeffries come back in good shape and Melo continues to play like Melo then I wouldn't be surprised if NY upsets Chicago.
In a playoff series we look at the record of win and losses during the regular season, Chicago is up. Then we look into the match ups in different positions. It's kind of hard to tell, the Knicks look to have a better team and yet the Knicks are in the eighth seed. Tom Thibodeau is one hell of a coach, he is definitely coach of the year. In the end the Bulls are the better team, the chances are low.
I honestly am looking into the Knicks chances to lead the division. This would match us up against the Pacers, who the Knicks blew out twice. The Knicks are 3 games back behind Boston, with the Knicks' improved defense the number 4 spot is reachable. April is not the easiest schedule, but the Knicks look to have things figured out on defense. On the 17th the Knicks play Boston, might be the most important game. 76ers are also a threat.
Knicks need to win the Atlantic Division.

I don't see it happening. For Knicks (assume they are the 8th seed) to upset the top seed, a few things have to happen first:
1. Knicks peak entering the playoff.
2. A healthy roster.
3. Multi-dimensional offense
Timing is everything. We HAD all that. If the playoff started 2 weeks ago, Knicks wouldve had great chance to upset the Bulls. Stat, Jeffries, Lin were all healthy and the bench was Mob Deep.

Innovation in the Works, Apple Is Set to Soar Again
The tweet links to M.G. Siegler's Feb. 14 piece in TechCrunch that reiterates the case made by Xbox team founder Nat Brown who commented, "Apple, if it chooses to do so, will simply kill Playstation, Wii-U and Xbox by introducing an open 30%-cut app/game ecosystem for Apple TV. I already make a lot of money on iOS . . . I will be the first to write apps for Apple TV when I can and I know I'll make money."
Many have questioned the relevance of an Apple HDTV as they observe the commoditization of the market. However, Apple's software solutions seem to be enough to differentiate Apple's offering in terms of disruptive innovation.
The potential of App Store gaming is only one reason for consumers to buy the product. In prior posts at EconomicTiming.com, we've speculated that Apple might be the first to fix the archaic living room infrastructure that contains multiple remote controls for multiple devices unable to communicate with one another.
In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, Tim Cook mentioned that when he goes into his living room and turns on the TV he feels like he's gone back in time 20 to 30 years. A universal remote application that enables an iPad, iPad mini or an iPhone to control all living room technology would fill a major need.
As a third component to Apple's potential for disruptive innovation, it is widely known that cable and satellite providers charge consumers for large quantities of content that are never viewed. If Apple allows users to cut the cord and purchase television content in an a la carte method, the cost savings will provide incentive to purchase the product.
It's interesting that Clayton Christensen would endorse Apple's potential for disruptive innovation at a time when investors are shunning the stock. Perhaps Christensen sees an opportunity that others are missing.
Apple's "Einhorn Cash Catalyst" rally came to a short-term end last week as Tim Cook failed to spark enthusiasm with his comments at the Goldman Sachs conference. This is the latest development in a perfect storm of events that has caused Apple stock to spiral into a five-month correction. It's been a long five months for Apple investors but with products like Apple TV on the horizon, positive uncertainty will return.
In the portfolio, we sold a portion of our AAPL June calls on Friday in order to stay true to our commitment of re-allocating Apple in $5 increments. After five months of underperformance, we refuse to add to positions until Apple finds upward stability. We plan to sell the rest of our June positions if Apple drops below $450.

CrowdingCasey Londergan | February 21, 2010
Heard most of great self-assembled platform session this morning on biomolecular dynamics in crowded (cellular-like) environments, organized by Margaret Cheung. It was very well-attended, and there was some talk of trying to use the forum as a starting point for a new subgroup (using the IDP subgroup, see below) as an example.
The characterization of much of traditional in vitro biochemistry as "drowning enzymes" was quite striking, and it is clear from many of the examples in this session that even relatively well-characterized systems like nice, globular proteins don't behave the way you might think, which is not all that surprising but definitely throws a wrench into a lot of "traditional biochemistry". I am especially interested in what happens to water in these sorts of environments… some ideas popping into my head, going to write them down now.

I made this yesterday and it turned out really well. It's not very sweet actually. I'd suggest using up all the pineapple juice. I didn't have caster sugar on hand so ended up using 50g demerera and 50g dark brown sugar for the cake mix. I also squeezed half a lemon in there. I cooked it on the wrong temperature. For some reason I cooked it on Gas mark 5 instead of the suggested Gas mark 4 for 35 mins and it came out perfect. It was still moist inside and crunchy at the sides. The glaze on top was very tasty also. Will deffo make again. I didn't have any Self raising flour so used plain flour and added 2 tsps baking powder and a pinch of salt also
Made this today after having a pineapple in the house that I wanted to use in a different way. I found this recipe and luckily had all the ingredients in my cupboards. Very easy recipe to follow, however didn't use tinned pineapple...I cut up my fresh pineapple into small flat chunks and placed them in to the 'topping' part mosaic style. As I didn't have the pineapple syrup from the tin to add to the main cake batter I added a good squeeze of golden syrup instead. After reading previous comments I made sure I put my cake tin on a baking tray to catch the leaks. I cooked for the 35 mins but when I checked the cake it was still wobbly and wet inside!! I popped back in the oven for another 10 mins and took it out and tested...and it seems seemed cooked through. Left to cool and then served up and it was so delicious! The taste of golden syrup really came through! Will definitely be making again!
Questions (4)
Hi mezz, thanks for getting in touch and we're sorry to hear that you did not have success with this recipe. For this recipe we suggest using canned pineapple in syrup because 2 tbsp of the syrup from the can goes into the cake to help keep it moist. If you are tempted to try it again please do so with canned pineapple or cooked fresh pineapple and include the 2 tbsp of syrup or maple syrup. Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.
Tips (5)
I wanted to make a cake to use as dessert. I began and found I had no tinned pineapple. I simmered about 20 Australian dried Apricots until soft in a small amount of water and used these in place of the pineapple. The result was superb. I then reduced the simmering water and added a Tbs. Lemon juice and about 1/4 cup sugar and served this syrup with the cake. The comments were, "Always make it with apricots . The apricot version is great. The reason for specifying Australian apricots is that they are not plumped up artificially and so the flavour is lovely and tart. Everything else. About the recipe was according to that written.

As a resident of Three Rivers, I thank the extraordinary effort of the people involved in planning and executing the centennial events surrounding our town's founding. The insert included in The Progress was a nice addition to the paper's regular stories, and we hope it prompts more interest in the celebratory events planned.
However, as a genealogy buff and amateur historian, I found one critical item missing from the insert last week. Words that seemed appropriate come to mind: "photo courtesy of ---" or "from the collection of ---."
It is important that appropriate photo credit is given to the individuals or families who own these historical photos. If these people had not preserved our town's founding, in these invaluable images all these years, we would have nothing to publish in our books, brochures, inserts, papers or elsewhere. History can be changed in the omission of a few words. We certainly don't want that to happen in Three Rivers or elsewhere in the county.

Let's face it: Crazy girlfriends in the movies are cool, but add that sexual essence-that special thing the French call magnétisme animal-to them and you've got yourself one incredibly sexy, crazy chick. This rare breed of woman in the cinema is always ready and willing to have animal-style sex. They're wild about their recreational drugs and alcohol, they love the ladies and they have that thread of desperation that makes up the sexual fringe of their batshit-crazy tapestry. After days of heated roundtable discussions and lonely nights rewinding the nude scenes in our DVD library, here are CRACKED.com's top eight craziest (and sexiest) girlfriends in movie history.
8Chloe Webb as Nancy Spungen in Sid & Nancy
In a Nutshell: Call her the Yoko Ono of the British punk scene if you'd like, but Chloe Webb's portrayal of Nancy Spungen, the longtime girlfriend of Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious, brought a sexy combination of nihilism and crazy-chick shenanigans to the forefront of movie history. Admittedly, she wasn't going to win any beauty contests. But up until that point, the closest movie character with halfway-decent looks and that classic "I-don't-give-a-shit" attitude was Pippi Longstocking. So, we're giving props where they're due.
Defining Crazy Moment: The scene where she's sitting in bed with Sid after a cozy little heroin fix, both not reacting as their room in the Chelsea Hotel goes up in flames.
Crazy Quote: "I fucking hate them! I fucking hate them! Ass! Ow! Fucking motherfuckers! They wouldn't send us any money! They said we'd spend it on druuuuugs!"—after getting off the phone with her parents. Sid nonchalantly responds with a sheepish, "We would."
Video Bonus: Sid and Nancy go up in smoke.
7Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction
In a Nutshell: While Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) would probably tell you that she wasn't technically his girlfriend, Close's character still slept with him more than once, and they went out on the minimum of two dates in a single week-sorry Dan, but that's a relationship as far as we're concerned. With that established, Alex Forrest is probably one of the craziest movie girlfriends of all time, and she could surely teach a few tricks to young Hollywood. But, crazy will only get you so far on this list. Unfortunately, Close looks like a cross between George Washington and Barbara Bush-by default, that combo tops you out at No. 7.
But, she's obviously a pleaser and that counts for something. Who can forget the blowjob in the freight elevator? The sex on the sink while she breaks all those dishes? Couple that with acid on the Volvo, unknowingly/knowingly slicing herself with a butcher knife and her penchant for kidnapping-congratulations Mr. Gallagher, you've got yourself one crazy, sexy girlfriend.
Defining Crazy Moment: Glenn Close cooks up some rabbit stew using the only hare close to hand: an adorable pet bunny.
Crazy Quote: "Why? Because I won't allow you treat me like some slut you can just bang a couple of times and throw in the garbage?"â€"after Douglas' character tells her that he's over her.
Video Bonus: Crazy girlfriends make the best cooks.

Even though Oracle officially ceased to support Intel Itanium hardware platform with its forthcoming software, a decision which was motivated by the company's wish to improve positions of its SPARC-based mission-critical servers, it will still have to support existing deployments of Itanium with its software for a number of years to come, believe leading market analysts. Moreover, Oracle will also continue to support x86 and IBM Power platforms.
"The Itanium processor is now offered by just HP and SGI, with HP probably accounting for 90% of it. Intel has indicated Itanium will be phased out as Intel drives to a total x86 IA from top (Xeon) to bottom (Moorestown). [...] Supporting an OS is expensive. Given that HP is the primary user of Itanium, and there is no love lost between Oracle and HP, Oracle's decision looks more like a competitive move than a cost saving decision, although one begets the other," said Jon Peddie, the president of Jon Peddie Research, market research and consulting firm.
But customers, who buy mission-critical hardware and software demand guarantees of long-term support, which is why Oracle is obliged to help maintaining work of Intel Itanium-based servers with its software running on them.
"The problem for HP, Oracle, and SGI - and maybe some of the previous Itanium users, is the long-term support contracts they have with large companies like Boeing, insurance and banking companies, and government agencies. So Oracle's decision will stop new sales of their database software on Itanium but they will still have to support it on the installed base for several more years," explained Mr. Peddie.
"[Oracle] are still partnered [to support IA64 installed base] despite the decision to discontinue support for Itanium," said said Jessica Breen, an analyst for enterprise software for Technology Business Research, a technology market research and consulting firm.
One of the big questions that remains unanswered is whether eventually Oracle will can support of x86 and IBM Power by its programs in order to help sales of its own SPARC servers and thus maximize its margins and profitability. Analysts do not believe that Oracle will cease to support x86 and IBM Power in the mid-term, but nobody can predict Oracle's long-term decisions.
"HP will do just fine regardless [Oracle's support of the Itanium], but as Oracle is trying to become a leader in hardware, I think the move was to stifle some of HP's ability to compete. I think Oracle will try to keep x86 sales to a minimum and stop delivering the hardware to maximize hardware margins, but they will continue to support x86 with their software since halting support would be shooting themselves in the foot. A lot of enterprise businesses run on x86 and it is imperative for cloud/virtual environments," explained Ms Breen.
"IBM power is in a lot of long term situations too, but Oracle does not hate IBM and in fact Oracel got started on IBM servers, the first few years of its history it was all (and only for while) IBM based," said Mr. Peddie.

Treatises and Texts on Shipbuilding Project - J. Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Lab
The aim of this project is to gather information on the texts, dictionaries, compiled notes, and treatises on shipbuilding in existence, and share it in an easy and organized manner, both for quick searches and more in-depth studies.
Although a small number of texts about shipbuilding, dating to the early and mid-15th century, have survived in Italy, it was not until the late 16th century that writing about the building, rigging, and handling of oceangoing ships seems to have become fashionable among scholars and intellectuals.
Many of these texts are difficult to access, handle, copy, and understand. The ShipLab has started a long term project to gather information on the many texts, dictionaries, compiled notes, and treatises on shipbuilding in existence, in order to try to share it in an easy and organized manner.
Since 2005 the ShipLab team is working with Texas A&M University's Center for the Study of Digital Libraries on a project that will make some of the texts available in facsimile, with transcriptions, translations, glossaries and images available, as well as a number of other research tools.
The NADL Project is now a cooperative effort that relies on the support of the Portuguese Academia de Marinha and the Portuguese National Library to make available an increasing number of texts.
This project was possible through the generous support of Dr. and Mrs. Peter Amaral, Mr. Mauro Bondioli, Mr. Lars Bruzelius, and the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation.

Of course, it's snowing. Of course, I am about to leave for New York where the perfect storm is awaiting me. Before it's too late I'd better go into town and buy boots, waterproofs and thermals to avoid completely freezing.
It's eight thirty, the sky is milky and snow flakes the size of golf balls are falling. Help! I take the subway, which is better than taking my chances over ground. I re-emerge near the cathedral, Milan, and I go towards the nearest shoe store, to buy padded boots. I look in the first window: sandals. Sandals?
No, excuse me, it's snowing, can't we put things in the shops that are, well, if not exactly sensible, at least vaguely linked with planet earth? The only people who respond to my needs are the street sellers who, if it rains, get the umbrellas out (and sell them), if it's packed with people, bring out the most ridiculous objects (and sell them too) and in the middle of the next snow storm I bet they'll have a sign ready saying: "grit, shovels, boots" (I hope).
Is it us, who write "summer's here" in November, that provoke the temperature change in the shop windows? Is it my fault that sandals are on sale in every window? Nice sandals though, I admit. Slim heel with cream straps. And wedges with a leather band. Forget it. I'm looking for snowboots.

Visit Enrollment Services to plan your Placement Assessment process.
Most applicants are REQUIRED to participate in a placement assessment process. The placement assessment includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of reading, language usage and mathematical skills. Based on the results of the placement assessment process, placement in courses commensurate with a student's academic achievement is mandatory. This assessment must be completed prior to enrolling in the following:
It is the policy of LCCC that applicants (exclusive of English as a Second Language (ESL) students) who achieve placement assessment scores of 30 or above in both language usage and reading skills are eligible to enroll in credit courses at the college. Applicants with scores of 28-29 on either language usage or reading skills may be admitted on probation, and are limited to six (6) credit hours per semester until a grade point average of 2.0 has been achieved in twelve (12) credit hours of graded courses.
Scores of 0-27 on either language usage or reading skills make an applicant ineligible to enroll for credit courses. Those who score in this range will be advised to seek alternative educational/training options. They may be retested after one year.
Situations involving a wide variance between or among scores will be addressed on an individual basis. Exceptions to the placement assessment include but are not limited to:
Students wishing to enroll in advanced courses in mathematics or certain science courses will be required to complete the Mathematics section of the COMPASS Assessment. Additional information can be obtained in Enrollment Services.
Why Be Assessed? If your levels of achievement are not measured before you sign up for classes, one of two things may happen to you: you will register for courses that are too easy for you, leading to boredom and lack of fulfillment, or you will register for classes that are too difficult for you, leading to discouragement and poor grades.
New Assessment Lab Makes Process Easy! A new COMPASS (Computer-adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System) laboratory at LCCC makes completing your assessment process easy. Simply walk into the lab and complete the reading, language usage and numerical skills portion of the process on your own. The entire process takes about two hours, so you're reminded to schedule accordingly.

Headlines (News Releases)
Office of Aboriginal Initiatives
Author Joseph Boyden to be Lauriers 2011-2012 writer-in-residence
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 2/11| For Immediate Release
Deborah MacLatchy, Vice-President Academic & Provost
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
BRANTFORD Celebrated author Joseph Boyden will be visiting Lauriers Brantford and Waterloo campuses as the universitys writer-in-residence. Boyden will visit Lauriers Brantford campus Nov. 17 and 18 to give a public lecture, discuss his work, and talk to students and faculty about writing. He is scheduled to visit Lauriers Waterloo campus in early 2012.
Boyden is an award-winning novelist whose work has been influenced by his Métis heritage. His first novel, Three Day Road, won the McNally Robinson Aboriginal Book of the Year Award, the Amazon/Books in Canada First Novel Award, and the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize in 2006, and was nominated for the 2005 Governor General's Awards. His second novel, Through Black Spruce, won the 2008 Scotiabank Giller Prize.
Boyden also wrote Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, a dual biography published as part of the Extraordinary Canadians series.

Joseph has an outstanding reputation as a teacher and role model and we are excited to provide aspiring writers at Laurier and in the external community the chance to learn from him.

Added Matthews: "Obviously coming in as a free agent, it's difficult to not only make a team but get some playing time. Now he's a starter for this team and he's playing very well – (with a) number of sacks, number of big plays and tackles. … I think he's got a lot of potential. I think he'll continue to grow and continue to develop especially because he's such a young player."
Just as defensive end Mike Neal's growth has helped Matthews and the defense as a whole – the two frequently line up on the same side and run games together – having Moses play well on the opposite side would make opposing quarterbacks that much more skittish. Moses can't simply be happy to be here anymore; he must produce.
"It's a blessing to have the opportunity, and I'm still trying to make the best of it," Moses said. "I'm learning a bunch each week, each game, each day, so it's just a learning process for me. I'm trying to do my job and be where I'm supposed to be. I'm a part of this defense, and I'm held accountable, and I'd like to be a guy who is where he's supposed to be. There's still a long way to go, but I'm working and I'm improving each week."
Both teams have something to play for here. It's more or less win-or-go-home for the Vikings, who'd need significant help to reach the postseason with a loss and 9-7 record. The Packers, meanwhile, would like a first-round playoff bye before opening postseason play at home at Lambeau Field in NFC Divisional play. They'd also like to avoid a third meeting with Peterson & Co. In the first meeting, quarterback play was the difference. Despite Peterson running wild, Ponder's mistakes sunk the Vikings. Rodgers, meanwhile, kept the Packers together, even after they coughed up a 10-0 lead and trailed 14-10. The guess here is it's the fulcrum of the game again. Packers 24, Vikings 20. (Season record: 9-6)

President pardons 17 felons in fourth act of clemencyThe New York Times | March 03,2013WASHINGTON President Barack Obama issued pardons on Friday to 17 convicted felons, making the first use of his clemency powers in his second term.
Their offenses were largely small-scale crimes many years ago, and 12 of the people had not been sentenced to serve time in prison.
As he has in past years, the president granted these individuals clemency because they have demonstrated genuine remorse and a strong commitment to being law-abiding, productive citizens and active members of their communities, said Matt Lehrich, a White House spokesman.
Under the Constitution, the president has clemency powers to forgive convictions as a check and balance on the criminal justice system. For a felon who is already out of prison, a pardon can mean erasing the stigma and negative consequences associated with a criminal history, like restrictions on gun ownership, certain licenses and doing business with the government.
Obama did not issue any commutations, which shorten the sentences of inmates currently in prison.
During Obamas first term, he exercised his clemency powers three times, issuing a total of 22 pardons and one commutation. He also denied 1,019 applications for a pardon and 3,793 applications for commutation. His rate of approvals was unusually low, by historical standards, based on statistics dating to 1900 on the Justice Department website.
Margaret Colgate Love, a former U.S. pardon lawyer who now represents clemency seekers, including two of the 17 people who received pardons on Friday, said she was pleased that Obama had quickly granted a number in his second term and hoped he would do so more regularly in coming years.
There are thousands of deserving ordinary Americans who have long since paid their debt to society but remain burdened by legal and social restrictions, and are seeking to put their past behind them, she said.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

Helsinki Commission Announces Hearing to Examine Europe's Refugee Crisis
Europe is experiencing an enormous refugee crisis. An estimated half a million migrants and refugees have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe so far in 2015; as many as 50 percent are Syrian refugees. Thousands more join them each day, and many of the European nations of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) are struggling to cope.
As the regional security organization in Europe, how can the OSCE use its tools, standards, and commitments to help manage the humanitarian crisis and ensure that security and economic challenges are addressed? What has the US government done, and what should it be doing? The hearing will examine the reasons for the current crisis; relevant OSCE and other European agreements, commitments, and structures; the response of the OSCE, the EU, and the US; potential security issues related to the ability of extremists to infiltrate the refugee stream; and the potential for refugees to become victims of human trafficking.

Toshiba Corp. on Thursday announced its first ever Blu-ray disc player. The BDX2000 device will be available in November for $249 and will offer rather basic functionality. A noteworthy thing is the lack of HD DVD support, the high-definition video format that lost the war against Blu-ray only one and a half years ago.
"From listening to our consumers we know they demand access to full high definition content. With the introduction of our BDX2000 we are offering consumers what they want with a breath-taking HD viewing experience to meet the needs of today's home theater," said Jodi Sally, vice president of marketing of digital A/V group at Toshiba.
Toshiba BDX2000 is a rather typical mainstream Blu-ray disc profile 2.0 player that supports AVCHD playback, BonusView (picture in picture), BD-Live, SD card slot (it has no built-in memory), enhanced audio formats Dolby True HD and DTS HD MA, Ethernet port, Regza-Link (HDMI-CEC) and so on. The device will not support integrated Wi-Fi to wirelessly connect the Internet or SpursEngine processor to enable high-quality upscaling of DVDs.
Toshiba's first Blu-ray player is hardly a high-end one and its $249 price-point, which is likely to go down shortly after the release, is a proof of it. Perhaps, later on the firm will launch a high-end player with its eXtended Detail Enhancement (XDE) technology, built-in memory and Wi-Fi, but at present the firm only wants to address the mainstream market.
By the end of the year Toshiba will also release its first notebooks with Blu-ray disc optical disc drive.
