|NBA Offseason: Wizards trade Rashard Lewis for Emeka Okafor, Trevor Ariza
|06.20.12 at 3:04 pm ET
This was a bit of a surprise. According to a report by Draft Express, and confirmed by several others including the Washington Post's Michael Lee, the Wizards have agreed to trade Rashard Lewis and the 46th pick in the draft to the Hornets for Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza.
First, the contract numbers: Lewis has one-year left on his albatross contract that pays him more than $23 million but he can be waived for $13.7 million, per Draft Express. Okafor is due about $14 million this season and he has an early termination option for the 2013-14 season, while Ariza will make over $7 million and has a player option for the following season at $7.2 million.
This could potentially save the Hornets up to $30 million and open up major cap space for next summer. With two first round picks and no long-term salary obligations — yet — the Hornets are well-positioned to build an entirely new team in new owner Tom Benson's first season.
Eric Gordon is set to hit restricted free agency, but suddenly re-signing him to a large deal is less daunting minus that $20 million in contracts for Okafor and Ariza. A core of Gordon, Anthony Davis, whoever they get with the 10th pick and cap space isn't a bad starting place.
For the Wizards, well, this is yet another step in yet another major overhaul. After years of being good with nothing to show for it, they settled into a painful rebuild around young players with no veteran experience, an approach that was criticized by Celtics coach Doc Rivers among others.
GM Ernie Grunfeld signaled the new direction when he traded Javale McGee for Nene at the deadline. Now he adds two more veterans at the cost of future cap space. If Grunfeld really wanted to clean house, he could use the amnesty provision on Andray Blatche who has been a major disappointment.
This move could also affect the draft where Washington could set their sights on Florida guard Bradley Beal with the third pick, rather than Kentucky forward Michael-Kidd Gilchrist, setting up a backcourt of Beal and John Wall to go with the veteran bruisers up front. They still have recent first rounders: Trevor Booker, Kevin Seraphin, Chris Singleton and Jan Vesley, so it's not as if Washington is going the veteran route completely.
Whether Okafor and Nene can play together up front remains to be seen, but with Wall entering his third season it's time to find out exactly what they have in the 2010 top overall pick.

Commentary on Parashat Balak, Numbers 22:2 - 25:9
The following article is reprinted with permission from the Orthodox Union.
When it comes to prophecy, our Sages compare Balaam to Moshe Rabbeinu (our teacher): "Never again has there arisen in Israel a prophet like Moshe. But among the Babylonians one did arise. Who is this? Balaam, son of Ba'or."
Regarding character traits, however, our Sages compare Balaam with Avraham Avinu (our father): "A generous eye, a humble spirit and an undemanding soul, these are the characteristics of the disciples of Avraham; An evil eye, a haughty spirit and a demanding soul, these are the characteristics of the disciples of Balaam."
Where did our sages see evidence of Balaam's haughty spirit? Under which similar circumstances did Avraham Avinu display a humble temperament?
Rabbi Meir Bergman in his work, Shaarei Orah, points to a somewhat puzzling Gemara:
"Whoever establishes a set place for prayer, the God of Avraham will come to his aid, and when he dies they will say about him, 'What a humble man, what a pious man. He is a disciple of Avraham Avinu.'
"And from where do we know that Avraham Avinu had a set place for prayer? From the verse, 'And Avraham arose in the morning to the place that he had stood [prayed] earlier.'"
Certainly maintaining a set place for prayer is admirable, but why heap such effusive praise on its practitioner?
We return to Balaam. Balak enlists him to curse the Jewish people. Balaam's initial attempt fails. His reaction? Let's try again from somewhere else. Round two: same result. Balaam's reaction? Let's try yet another location.
Does Balaam really think that his failure is caused by a particular site being unworthy? Does it not dawn on him that perhaps it is his prayer that is lacking, or that he himself is inadequate?
Arrogance, the Mishnah in Avos (Ethics of the Forebears) teaches, is the source of Balaam's blindness.
Not so Avraham Avinu. After his valiant efforts to rescind God's decree to destroy Sodom did not bear fruit, Avraham Avinu returns to pray. He returns to the very same spot where the previous prayer went unanswered.
Perhaps the failure was mine, muses Avraham Avinu. Did I pray with enough kavannah (intention)? Was there sufficient depth and meaning to my words? Humility, the Mishnah teaches, allows for serious introspection. Can I do better next time?
Kevi'as makom, establishing for oneself a place for prayer, refers to more than a physical seat in the synagogue. It represents a commitment to tefillah (prayer) that states, "It is not the shul I attend or the spot I occupy that determines successful prayer. It is my ability to constantly dig deeper and sharpen my focus internally."
Of such a person we can surely say, "What a humble man, what a pious man. He is a disciple of Avraham Avinu."
Pronounced: AHVR-rah-ham, Origin: Hebrew, Abraham in the Torah, considered the first Jew.
Pronounced: MISH-nuh, Origin: Hebrew, code of Jewish law compiled in the first centuries of the Common Era. Together with the Gemara, it makes up the Talmud.
Pronounced: shool (oo as in cool), Origin: Yiddish, synagogue.

The World Beneath : The Final Episodes
Overnights listeners have been enjoying our book reading 'The World Beneath' by Cate Kennedy.
Because of the switch from daylight saving Queensland listeners will miss the last four episodes scheduled next week.
For those of you wanting to find out how the story ends, here are links to these episodes :
THE WORLD BENEATH #71 AIR (Final)
About the Book:
Once, Rich and Sandy were environmental activists, part of a world-famous blockade in Tasmania to save the wilderness. Now, twenty-five years later, they have both settled into the uncomfortable compromises of middle age. About the only thing they have in common these days is their fifteen-year-old daughter, Sophie.
When Rich decides to take Sophie, whom he hardly knows, on a trek into the Tasmanian wilderness, his overconfidence and her growing disillusion with him set off a chain of events that no one could have predicted. Instead of respect, Rich finds antagonism in his relationship with Sophie; and in the vast landscape he once felt an affinity with, he encounters nothing but disorientation and fear.
Ultimately, all three characters will learn that if they are to survive, each must traverse not only the secret territories that lie between them but also those within themselves.
About the Author :
Cate Kennedy was born in the UK and moved to Australia as a child. She lives in Benalla in regional Victoria. Her writing has appeared in such publications as The New Yorker, Crime Factory, Redoubt, Phoenix Review and Blast Magazine.

Sony's Xperia Z and Xperia ZL have been found hiding on Sony's Web site, hinting at things to come for next week's CES show.
Known in other circles as the Yuga and Odin, these two Sony devices have been tied to numerous rumors over the last few months.
The Sony Xperia Z (Yuga) is the larger of the two smartphones however, the Xperia ZL may possess similar internal hardware specifications. Reportedly, the Xperia Z will possess a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, a 5-inch 1080p HD display, 2GB RAM, and a 13-megapixel camera.
Both are expected to offer a front-facing camera, but the Xperia ZL render shows its lens on the bottom right side instead. Yes, below the display. One area where the two may differ is that the Xperia Z is rumored to be a premium experience with a chassis that resists to water and dust.
It is not quite clear where these two models will end up or if we'll see one of them tied to a U.S. carrier. If I were to wager a guess, the Xperia ZL seems like a logical fit for AT&T. Readers may recall a similar strategy for the Xperia T and Xperia TL with the latter arriving as a Ma Bell exclusive.
CNET will attend CES next week and will have early hands-on impressions for whatever Sony's cooking up.

New program helps students after school
BRISTOL, Va. - Finding something for children to do after school can be a challenge for parents, so a Bristol, Virginia elementary school started a program aimed at keeping kids busy after class ends.
Tuesday afternoon nearly 40 students were hanging out at Clear Creek Golf Course in Bristol, Virginia. It's not your typical after school activity, but part of a program aimed at keeping students focused, out of trouble and bringing out the best they have to offer.
Some third, fourth and fifth graders are learning a new sport. The students are from Highland View Elementary School and they're all taking part in new after school program that started in September.
"We wanted to add more to the students' day. We felt a need to enrich their lives with activities that they might not have a chance to do in a normal school day," says principal Pam Smith.
Smith says 84 percent of the more than 200 students at school qualify for free and reduced lunches. That's how the school gets money to offer the program, because many families may not have the means to provide so many after-school activities. "We have families and parents everyday that thank us for what we're providing our students on a daily basis," adds Smith.
This program is free to all students at Highland View. It offers help with school work, an afternoon snack and even field trips.
"It was kind of interesting because I've never been on a golf course before. And I liked it," says third grader Sara Richard said about her trip to the course.
In addition to the physical activity, the students are also learning some golf etiquette. "[Don't] slide your foot on the cut short grass!" adds third grader Omar Said.
"We feel like if we can affect change with our students it will affect change at home as well," adds Smith.
The students do more than golf -- in fact, Smith tells us she's always looking for people in the community willing to offer their services, special skills or interests to share with the students.
For more information contact Highland View Elementary School at (276) 821-5710.

SSI's 2014 Industry Forecast: S.I.C. Consulting's Mitch Reitman
What major technology and market changes does Mitch Reitman, principal at S.I.C. Consulting, envision for 2014? Read his response on that question and much more in the latest Under Surveillance blog.
By Scott Goldfine · January 7, 2014
The January edition of SECURITY SALES & INTEGRATION includes our annual industry forecast as a cornerstone of our special 2014 Industry Forecast Issue. For the piece, I interviewed 25 of the industry's most knowledgeable market analysts, business experts, security dealers, systems integrators, supplier representatives and trade association directors. Some of their perspectives can be found in the magazine article, with the balance of their assessments appearing in separate Under Surveillance blog posts.
Featured in this installment: Mitch Reitman, Principal, S.I.C. Consulting
What major technology and market changes do you envision for 2014?
Mitch Reitman: More technological advances are coming into the industry than in the past 20 years. It will be important to understand not only the features, but also the benefits, of new technology. Our concept of residential and commercial services is rapidly changing. It is going to be critical to separate beneficial technology from fads and fluff. New entrants will continue to disrupt the market and traditional companies will have to define their niche and be the premium provider. Aging Baby Boomers will increase demand for medical and personal emergence services while a new generation that is very technologically proficient will drive demand for services such as automation and video monitoring.
What do you see as the major issues affecting the overall security industry?
Reitman:Traditional security companies will improve false alarm issues by utilizing technology, such as video monitoring and clips, and adopting policies such as Enhanced Call Verification. The increase of DIY alarms and ultra mass-marketed systems may lead to huge false alarm issues. Political bodies and regulatory agencies will struggle to pass ordinances and codes to keep up with new technology. National, state, and local trade associations have an opportunity to assist these entities in developing standards and ordinances.
What type of year are you anticipating overall?
Reitman: Large manufacturers will grow organically and through acquisitions. New, well financed, manufacturers, and start-ups will enter the marketplace. Some will thrive, many will leave. On the dealer side, efficient operators will thrive, poorly managed companies will struggle or sell. And the increased capital required to monitor new technology will drive consolidation of central stations.
What is something that might surprise people in 2014?
Reitman: The traditional business model, and by traditional, I mean alarm panels connected to central stations over POTS lines, has been changing for the past few years. I predict new installations that utilize radio, cellular or Internet protocol connectivity will surpass phone line protocols in the next year, if they haven't already. Security and integration companies must not only understand the new technology, they must embrace it.
Anything else you would like to add pertaining to 2014?
Reitman: The midterm Congressional elections will have a huge impact on small businesses. If there is a large turnover in Congress, I expect the small business climate to improve. If things do not change, new taxes and regulations may make times very tough for small business owners.

Maryland Enlists NFL's Ravens on Obamacare
Maryland health officials announced Tuesday that they will partner with the Baltimore Ravens football team this fall to help spread the word about the state's health insurance marketplace that will allow consumers to shop for health insurance starting in October.
The partnership with the two-time Super Bowl champions is part of a broader campaign unveiled on Tuesday to market Maryland Health Connection that will allow consumers to shop for health insurance or sign up for Medicaid if they qualify. The Obama administration had been hoping to partner with the National Football League to promote its signature health law, also known as Obamacare, but the league balked after some Republican lawmakers issued a warning to sports organizations to avoid the issue.
However, the Baltimore Ravens have previously been involved in promoting Maryland health efforts including a 2008 expansion of Medicaid. Research conducted for the state suggests 71% of uninsured people watched, attended or listened to a Baltimore Ravens game in the past 12 months. About 800,000,or 14% of the state's population of 5.8 million, is uninsured. The state is also partnering with the drug-store chain CVS Inc. and regional grocery store Giant Food, a unit of Ahold NV.
Maryland and many of the 13 states and Washington, D.C., that are fully running their own health insurance exchanges, or marketplaces, kicked their marketing campaigns into higher gear this week with open enrollment under the Affordable Care Act less than a month away. The federal government will run the marketplaces in 36 states, at least initially. Open enrollment at both the state and federal level will start Oct. 1. Insurance coverage won't be effective until Jan. 1, or later if people sign up late in December or through March 31.
"Most people know there's major health reform going on, "said Joshua Sharfstein, the Maryland Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene and the chairman of the board that oversees Maryland Health Connection. "But they do not know the details about signing up. They are confused."
Maryland's advertisements feature local Marylanders and musical lyrics with the refrain "Gonna have it, gonna get it" referring to health insurance. In California television ads with the tag line "welcome to a new state of health" are being launched this week in Sacramento, San Diego and Chico/Redding before being rolled out as part of a state-wide effort in October that promotes the state's marketplace, Covered California.
In Minnesota and Vermont, call centers opened on Tuesday. Minnesota is taking a slightly different approach to marketing its marketplace, MNsure, by using legendary local icons Paul Bunyan and his side-kick Babe the Blue Ox on billboards and other advertising materials.
Officials involved with the state insurance marketplace rollouts say the biggest problem they are facing is that most Americans know little about the Affordable Care Act. Indeed, national polls suggest the public is skeptical about the health law and unclear about what it does. A poll released last week by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation found that 51% of Americans say they don't understand how the health law affects them. More Americans disapprove of the law–42% to 37%–than favor it, according to the poll. The poll also found that a greater proportion of respondents—19%–had heard about the law on the late-night comedy programs like "The Daily Show" than from state agencies, where 14% of respondent had heard about the law.

If your friends told you they were going to get together on a Friday night, sip some wine, have some nibble-ations and make tutus and capes, would you join the party?
The answer is yes if you're a friend of Jaime Golanski-Zmijewski of Wallingford and the cause is for kids with cancer.
This Friday will mark the third time Jaime and her friends have gotten buried in tulle and elastic waistbands to make kids in the hospital feel better, even if for a fleeting moment.
I met Jaime, her daughter and a large pack of their friends on a recent evening and went home with a package of really good banana-walnut cookies and a smile on my heart.
Jaime, Sandra Gabriel, Rebecca Raymond and their friends and children make up the Connecticut chapter of Emmy's Heart, a new organization aimed at creating superheroes out of children who are already being brave because they're enduring cancer treatment. Their motto? "So every boy and girl can fly."
Emmy's Heart came to Connecticut by way of Florida and Facebook.com. The founder of Emmy's Heart is Laura Burt Pita, a Florida resident and Mercy High School graduate who reconnected on Facebook with Jaime, also a 1991 Mercy graduate.
Laura founded Emmy's Heart because her mother died from cancer, and her son was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 7.
"She is an amazing woman and she inspires me to be a better person. After reading her posts, I had some spare time on my hands. I asked how I could help out, and she asked if I would be interested in starting a Connecticut chapter of Emmy's Heart," Jaime said in an email that enticed me to her home recently.
There were two clothing racks of already-completed tutus in the living room, and all the tables in the house were taken up with industrious women and girls who were tying strips of tulle to waistbands that were being held up by rolls of paper towels.
"We make tutus and sell them to Facebook friends and through word of mouth," said Jaime, who by now must have sold more than the 20, she told me about that night. The proceeds go to purchase more materials for the tutus and capes that are donated to the Children's Hospital at Yale-New Haven.
They make tutus for American dolls, small children, bigger kids and adults. While the tutus can be made by hand, Jaime sews the capes on her sewing machine, assisted by her daughter Taylor, 11, who with friend Ashley Amarante, 11, head up the flower clip division.
Rebecca was sitting there in her red and black tutu, wearing a red T-shirt. The Branford woman's head was shaved at a March 16 St. Baldrick's Foundation event to coincide with the last chemotherapy treatment that her son, Patrick "Pat Pat" Raymond had that day. He was diagnosed with brain cancer in August at the age of 3.
"He's doing absolutely wonderful. He's just about walking on his own, and he's almost fully back to being a normal 3-year-old," Rebecca offered.
Jaime and Rebecca met at the Children's Hospital when Jaime was distributing 30 tutus and capes for the first time in March.
"It was so cool," she said.
Jaime was really struck by what she saw at the hospital.
"It was amazing, just the strength of the families. When I first started doing this, I wondered how kids would react. Would they really like this? Patrick was one of the first boys to get a cape, and he loved it," Jaime said.
Rebecca noted that another little boy who is ordinarily demanding and had just had a procedure that day even smiled. "It made me cry that day, and I begged her for a tutu," Rebecca said.
In fact, Patrick wore his blue Superman cape to Jaime's house the night I was there.
Ashley said the tutus take a while to make. "This is my third time. It makes me feel good that I'm doing something for somebody else."
Taylor has asked her mother that for her 12th birthday in May that there be a tutu and cape distribution. Making them is "really fun. You're helping other kids and making them happy."
Taylor and Ashley make floral headbands and hair clips and sell them at Moran Middle School in Wallingford.
"We wear our tutus to school. We've had quite a few orders."
Sandy Gabriel of Shelton helped when Jaime called because it sounded like "an amazing opportunity. It's a very tangible way to do something for these children."
Added Jaime, "I just hope we get as many chapters in as many states as possible." Besides Florida, there are chapters in Virginia, Vermont and Pennsylvania. "Just seeing the smiles on their faces puts everything in perspective. My goal when I started was to make kids happy and feel as normal as possible," said Jaime.
"I love doing this."
?The first fundraiser for Emmy's Heart in Connecticut is June 16. People who want to go to Mohegan Sun need to meet in the Route 5 commuter lot of Interstate 91's Exit 13. For $45, you get the bus ride, a $15 food credit and $10 to bet. Email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Planning on having nucs again Allen if all goes well but unsure on bred queen's. Extra Cells' for sure when I requeen my own colonies but unsure on queen's as of yet. I'm gonna say maybe at this point and not lock myself in but if your willing to take some in a batch of several or work around my schedule I'd be more inclined to do it. Lot of work raising cell's to replace them and not really worth the effort for one or two. I'm just not set up to produce queen's other than for my nuc's and requeening full size colonies with cell's. Not sure on the fate of my last Glenn breeder queen should be checking tomorrow but regardless if she is replaced I'm gonna just pick my best to produce from for early May. Glenn retired so no more breeder's available from them. VP may be where I go next year for breeder's. Also if you can catch cage some it would also be easier on me.
I will say I've gotten a lot of queen requests from nuc buyers this year.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

A perfect little studio, placed in a quite street, but very central in Paris. I can strongly recommend it to all who needs a place to sleep, while visiting this beautiful city.
Rahma is nice and available for every need! (She lives in the same building which is even better). The studio is nice and 3 minutes of walk from the Champs Elysées, perfect. Clean and cozy. Well connected with the Metro. Safe zone.
Firstly a big thank's to Rahma, that she is there for anything you need. The studio is perfect for two people that they don't need to live the house but the city! Is perfectly in the city center. If you want to move by metro, you have 3 station near the house that connect you everywhere.
In the studio you will find all stuff you need from towels to food.
We stayed ther 4 nights at end of June '12.
This studio apartment is in safe and prestigeous area of Paris. Everything is closeby. Although, studio has sofa cum bed, it's perfect functional place to spend nights in Paris. Definately, recommend.
we had a grand time in thi central, clean, Parisean flat. Many thanks to our host Rhama. She's always there to support and inform you. cheers!
Estuvimos un semana en septiembre en este estudio, muy bien situado, muy cerca del arco del triunfo. pudimos ir andando a todos los sitios.
El estudio está perfectamente habilitado, en definitiva una estancia muy agradable,lo recomendaríamos sin dudar.
L'appartamento rispecchia le foto, è al sesto piano dell'edificio con ascensore (peccato che l'ultimo giorno non abbia funzionato e abbiamo dovuto trasportare le valigie per le scale di servizio...). Trovare la zona del piano cottura pulito e il davanzale senza polvere sarebbe stato gradito (sono piccole carenze rispetto alla pulizia generale sulla quale non c'è da ridire). Globalmente è stata un'ottima esperienza soprattutto perchè Viviane è il top dei padroni di casa, presente, disponibile e gentile.

So we have these neighborhood cats that come up to our back door and look at us inside as if to say "we know you can't get to us." Ugh, they get me so angry. If I even bother to chase them away ( they do look for birds in the trees, and I love birds), they don't run till I unlatch the door, open it up and chase them. Brave kitties!!! We also have squirrels that come around and eat the buds on our rose bushes. I know that there are devices that send out some kind of noise waves or something, to chase unwanted garden pests. Do you know what they are called? I'd like to get one. Thanks in advance for your advice.

We all, as David Wiley writes, want to empower learners. While we read a great deal these days about education as job training and workforce readiness, what we really want to be able to do is to enable each person to make his or her way in the world, to pursue their own good in their own way.
This, to me, involves reducing and eventually eliminating their need to depend on experts. As I imperfectly expressed the point the other day, "It's about actually empowering people to develop and create their own learning, their own education. So not only do they not depend on us for learning, but also, their learning is not subject to our value-judgements and prejudices."
Unfortunately, this is often read as a casting of the student into the world to rely solely on their own devices. David Wiley echoes the sort of misinterpretation of this view that is common:
"It is hard to imagine any form of learning that does not involve an expert – except pure, unguided, trial-and-error discovery learning. Without reference to any person – or any artifact created by a person – of more experience than ourselves, all learning would be maximally inefficient. We would each be left to rediscover the entirety of physics from scratch. And the entirety of music theory. And the entirety of every other field, without a conversation or a textbook or a Wikipedia article to guide us."
Such a proposition is absurd, and as it is absurd one should conclude (I would hope) that it is not the proposition I am arguing for.
So let me be clear: in the world as I understand it, there are more than two options. There is an option somewhere between "depending on an expert" and "left to rediscover the entirely of physics from scratch."
And - to be clear - a great deal of 'expert content' exists. There is not only the aforementioned Wikipedia, there are also academic publications, magazine and newspaper articles, open online courses, blog posts, NASA videos, TED talks, and a host of additional educational content. Indeed, in today's environment, and for the foreseeable future, we are virtually swimming in educational content. It would be rash, irresponsible, and unthinking to say that a person should not consult any of this when learning physics or any other discipline. So, that is not what I am saying.
What I am addressing with remarks like "we should not depend on the expert" is the stance that ought to be taken by the learner with respect to the learning material extant on the web and elsewhere. And I mean this two two distinct but related ways:
- first, the learner should not accept the report of the expert uncritically. Expert advice on any given subject may not merely be misleading or misinformed, it may also be offered out of context, it may be outdated, it may be misunderstood, and in some cases it may be malicious. Examples of any of these cases may be found in abundance, especially on today's polarized and politicized media environment.
- second, the learner should resist the characterization of certain sources, certain perspectives, and certain content types *as expert*. While once we may have been able to rely on peer and publisher review to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the information, this is no longer the case. Moreover, an increasing body of verifiable and reliable information is being published outside tradititional channels.
These two conditions amount to the assertion that the learner should take what amounts to a critically reflective stance with respect not only to expert content but with respect to all content. Maybe there was once a day when we could trust expert opinion, but today we live in an environment where not only can we not trust the experts, we cannot even trust that the people offered as experts in fact are experts.
This is an important point. While it is common to use terms like 'elite' and 'expert' interchangeably, they are in fact distinct concepts. To call a person an expert refers to their knowledge. A person is an expert in a discipline if they have a deep knowledge of the field, a base of experience in the field, and can talk about matters related to the field rationally and reasonably. But to call a person an 'elite' refer to their position in a community or society. A person who is elite will have accumulated a disproportionate amount of power, wealth or influence.
Sometimes a person will be elite as a result of their expertise. If we speak of, for example, "elite scientists", we may be referring not to the richest or most powerful scientists, but those with the most expertise. But in practice we are rarely so precise. And so the word 'elite' even in a scientific discipline may refer not to those with the greatest knowledge, but to those with the most power and influence.
My own experience in life is that the people who become elite do not always become so as a result of their generosity, but rather as a result of their parsimony. They achieve their status as elite not by sharing but rather by hoarding. Such members of the elite carefully cultivate a culture of dependence. By ensuring that their followers depend on them for knowledge, influence and wealth, they augment their own position in society. The parsimonious elite are not interested in the empowerment of their students. They are greedy, selfish and self-interested.
Not all members of the elite are parsimonious, and not all experts are members of this elite. But the membership is sufficiently large that a learner ought not, as a general policy, place oneself in a position of dependence on experts. With every word of advice received, the learner must be in a position to ask whom the advice is intended to benefit. And the learner must be in a position to seek alternative sources of expertise, to weight options, and to decide what to believe for him or her self.
What is significant, to my mind, is that by being able to adopt such a critical stance with respect to expertise, learners are not only much better able to vet for themselves the reliability and authenticity of a piece of expert advice, they also acquire the capacity to look beyond a smaller set of 'trusted sources' and cast their gaze across the wider information landscape, as they will be able to select the reasonable and reliable even from such nontraditional sources as discussion lists, blog posts and alternative media.
It's like being able to read. Before we could read, we had to depend on the priest to tell us what the book said. After we learned how to read, not only could we see what the book says for ourselves, we can also read other books that may say different things. Being able to read not only increases our understanding, it increases our power to choose what will inform that understanding.
From my perspective as an educator, we should not be like the educator who reads to people, and who builds a large hall and charges fees in order to have people come to us to listen to use read to them.
Nor should we be like the educator who reads to people for free. This does not achieve our aims. 'Giving content for free' does not reduce the need for people to depend on a reader. Rather, it creates a new problem, that of sustainability - how are we to pay people who read for free?
We should be like the educator whose primary interest is in teaching people to read, so they do not need to come to us at all, so there is not only no need for a hall and for fees to be paid, but no need for our particular expertise, because everyone can have it.

What is the frame that is far away form the feeder..
In the video you had a 4way mating nuc made up and all the 4th frame slots were already in place... The feeder was in the middle. You put new frame there, then closed brood, then open brood in third slot. What was in the 4th slot?
An empty comb or foundation
Question! What is the advantage of using a mating nuc versus using a deep frame with bees in a regular deep?
I'm assuming that talking about using a single deep comb? If that is the case...
More interior space. By stacking the combs the inner combs are more insulated.
Easier to work. A single comb hive is only 1.5 inches wide making it difficult to stick your hand in there.
If your talking about in comparison to a 5 frame deep nuc.
Less resources. You can take the comb from one 5-frame nuc and make 2.5 mating nucs, which increases the number of potential queens.
Smaller hives. It's easier to manage the small colonies and losing one isn't as dramatic. ((Within reason, the ultra small nucs require careful watching))
Downsides are that you need to maintain custom equipment. I plan to make standard supers with a divider, which will allow me to draw/store the comb on a normal hive.
Hope that helps.
Hi Kevin,
I guess what I am really wondering is this. If I can purchase an 8 frame deep for 7.50. Why would I spend the same amount or more on a mini nuc? I was thinking of just taking a frame of nurse bees and placing them in a deep and using that as the mating nuc. Thoughts? I suppose if I were raising queens for sale it would make sense, but if I need 8 frame boxes anyway for growing, what would the advantage of using a mating nuc instead? Thoughts?
If your just doing a queen here and there.. I don't guess it matters much.
Just keep in mind that a overloaded hive doesn't always accept the returning queen. I found that lighter stocked hives/nucs are more willing to let the queen back in without killing her.
If your looking to raise several queens, you might want to look at being as efficient as possible.
Ultimately it's your bee yard and you could raise them all in igloo coolers if that's what you want to do. *grins*
Good thought Kevin! Don the fat bee man has a neat design for baby nucs, think I'll make a few this week end. It's a one time cost, so making wise use of space makes sense, easier to transport as well.

GRASBRUNN, Germany and TOKYO—Bosch Security Systems and Sony Corporation signed a contract to enter a partnership that will result in new products and solutions in the field of video security applications.
UPDATED Nov. 15 with information about Bosch agreement.
ObjectVideo announced today that it's signed a licensing agreement with Pelco, putting to rest the patent infringement lawsuit filed by OV against Pelco.
When I spoke to OV CEO Raul Fernandez in July about a similar agreement OV made with VIVOTEK, Fernandez said another agreement would be announced soon. Presumably this is that agreement--which would mean Pelco came in under the "amnesty" offer as well.
The Vivotek agreement came about as the result of an amnesty deal that OV announced just before ISC West 2012.
"We are pleased to have entered into a global, portfolio-wide license agreement with Pelco and to have the benefit of a cross license to Pelco's intellectual property," said Raul Fernandez, chairman of OV.
Pelco is the sixth company to sign a licensing agreement with OV. Others include: Sony Corporation, Tyco Security Products' American Dynamics business unit and VIVOTEK. ObjectVideo began its "patent assertion program" at ISC West 2011.
And, on Nov. 14, ObjectVideo announced it had reached "an amicable settlement with Bosch Security Systems, Inc., of Fairport, New York, which includes, among other mutual obligations, a global, portfolio-wide patent license agreement with Bosch."
The two companies have asked the United States International Trade Commission to terminate its proceedings related to the matter, the statement said.
"The agreement amicably settles the matter and allows us to focus our full attention on our customers," said Christopher Gerace, president, Bosch Security Systems, in a prepared statement.

Hi Nick,
I was a little concerned about the lengthy trigger-pull when I purchased my first Kahr (PM9). After firing quite a few rounds, however, I didnt even notice it. It shot incredible well for such a small piece. I have found them to be a little finicky in the reliability department, but if you stick with the 9mm, you should be OK.
Good luck!

Security Issues
Overview: Security issues have been a major focus of the NAAA since the 2001 terror attacks against the country. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is still developing and enforcing rules in an effort to prevent acts of terrorism against the peoples of the United States. As we all know, times have changed in this country since those cataclysmic terror events stung our country. The best and current course the aerial application industry is taking is remaining vigilant in securing agricultural aircraft and their related facilities and making sure the public—from law enforcement to local media to the general public—know about the industry's proactive efforts. NAAA has been active in informing Congress, the DHS' Transportation Security Administration (TSA), FBI and a variety of other government agencies about the aerial application industry's security efforts. One NAAA victory on the security front was getting the FAA to allow hidden ignition switches to be installed in ag planes without having to undergo the cumbersome FAA Form 337 process. NAAA also continues to monitor Congress and the number of different federal agencies now involved with security to ensure that legislative and regulatory measures result in legitimately mitigating security risks, but not unnecessarily burdening the aerial application industry, as some poorly timed TFRs for public officials and other security measures have done.

Leading investigative weekly suspended in Tanzania
New York, January 12, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists called today for the suspension of independent weekly Swahili newspaper Kulikoni to be lifted immediately. Information Minister George Mkuchika announced the suspension of the leading investigative weekly on Friday, citing a sales and distribution ban for a period of 90 days beginning January 11, according to local journalists and news reports.
The ruling was linked to a November 27, 2009, story that alleged cheating in the national exams for the Tanzania People's Defense Forces, the managing editor of Dar-es-Salaam-based Kulikoni, Evarist Mwitumba, told CPJ.

At Mount Sinai, our mission is to provide exceptional patient care. To help patients feel more confident about their choice of doctors, we provide patient experience star ratings based on information collected by an independent organization, Press Ganey, which surveys hundreds of thousands of our patients every year. We hope this information will help you choose the doctor that is right for you.
What is the "Patient Experience Star Rating?"The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients' perception of how well their Mount Sinai physician communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on the Clinician & Group CAHPS (CG-CAHPS) Survey, a standardized questionnaire developed for use by Medicare:
Who receives a CG-CAHPS patient survey?Patients are randomly selected to receive a survey, either via mail or email, in which they are asked to provide feedback about their experience. That feedback is shared with physicians and medical practice leaders to help us improve and to recognize exceptional physicians.
How is the rating calculated?The star rating is calculated using the industry standard methodology to ensure validity and reliability.

Story highlights
- United puts Dreamliner on first regularly scheduled international route
- The Boeing 787 will be used in service between Los Angeles and Tokyo
- United debuted the Dreamliner for domestic service in November
Starting this week, United's much-anticipated new 787 Dreamliner will be taking to the skies between Los Angeles and Tokyo, marking the carrier's first regular international route using the new aircraft.
Flight 32 is set to leave Los Angeles at 11:15 a.m. Thursday, arriving in Tokyo at 4:10 p.m. the next day.
United made its domestic debut of the plane in November, carrying more than 200 passengers from Texas to Chicago. United says the Dreamliner "will revolutionize the flying experience for United customers and crews while delivering unprecedented operating efficiency, comfort and lower emissions."
The Boeing aircraft was plagued by cost overruns and manufacturing delays for years before the first Dreamliner was delivered to Japan's All Nippon Airways in 2011. United was the first U.S. carrier to fly paying customers on the 787.

I had to restart my observation hive this spring, and I wanted to transfer the bees from a package into the hive with as few losses as possible. I removed the can of sugar syrup, ran tubing from the package to the observation hive, put the queen cage in the bottom of the hive, and waited. For the first half-hour or so, few bees made the journey through the tube, but shortly after that, they went marching in:
Last year I tried the same method, but didn't remove the sugar can from the package first, and it took two days for the bees to move!

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Russell Bodycomb as its new Head of Hospitality with immediate effect.
Bodycomb will take charge of the extensive range of Matchday Hospitality, Meeting and Events facilities available at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.
Russell has vast experience in the hospitality industry spanning over 20 years. Following a five year apprenticeship with Trusthouse Forte, Bodycomb worked at both Kempton and Sandown Park racecourses on high profile events from 1986 to 1991.
Russell then moved on to work within the hotel industry where he has successfully managed the Meetings and Events business for leading hotels including Thistle and Guoman Hotels chain, where he achieved an annual year on year growth of 10% across a six year period. Immediately prior to joining Arsenal, Bodycomb was the General Manager at the famous New Connaught Rooms based in Covent Garden.
The 60,000 seat state-of-the-art Emirates Stadium has two premium hospitality levels which provide over 7,000 supporters with access to a range of bars and restaurants on a matchday. The facilities are utilised on non matchday days for corporate and private events for up to 2,000 in a single suite. Emirates Stadium Events has established a reputation for delivering successful events and Russell's appointment will have a crucial part in upholding this reputation.
Adrian Ford, Arsenal Commercial Director said: "We are confident that Russell's experience and track record of success within both the hospitality, meeting and events industry will aid us with continuing to build the reputation of Emirates Stadium as one of the leading venues in the UK for both Matchday Hospitality and Meetings and Events."
Since opening in July 2006, Emirates Stadium has won many awards for its construction process, regeneration and its Meetings and Events offering, including: 2007 'Visit London' – Business Venue of The Year and 2008 'Meet England' – Business Tourism Gold Award.
Russell Bodycomb said: "I'm delighted to be joining Arsenal as Head of Hospitality. Emirates Stadium is an iconic venue and offers a unique experience to event organisers and their clients. The stadium is still very new and has a very different proposition from the perceptions some clients may have of stadia, as it offers world class catering and flexible space to match the most demanding of events.
"I'm really looking forward to growing the events sector at Arsenal whilst continuing to ensure that the matchday hospitality exceeds the expectations of our clients. This is a tremendously exciting and a great new challenge for me."
Russell's main role will be to manage the sales and operations processes to drive both matchday and non-matchday events. He will work close with Arsenal's catering partners, Delaware North Companies to continue to develop and deliver first-class hospitality and events offerings, ensuring customer satisfaction.

Physics is not always the seamless subject that it pretends to be
Tony Rothman
"I want to get down to the basics. I want to learn the fundamentals. I want to understand the laws that govern the behavior of the universe." Thousands of admissions officers and physics department chairs have smiled over such words set down by aspiring physicists in their college-application essays, and that is hardly surprising, for every future physicist writes that essay, articulating the sentiments of all of us who choose physics as a career: to touch the fundamentals, to learn how the universe operates.
It is also the view the field holds of itself and the way physics is taught: Physics is the most fundamental of the natural sciences; it explains Nature at its deepest level; the edifice it strives to construct is all-encompassing, free of internal contradictions, conceptually compelling and—above all—beautiful. The range of phenomena physics has explained is more than impressive; it underlies the whole of modern civilization. Nevertheless, as a physicist travels along his (in this case) career, the hairline cracks in the edifice become more apparent, as does the dirt swept under the rug, the fudges and the wholesale swindles, with the disconcerting result that the totality occasionally appears more like Bruegel's Tower of Babel as dreamt by a modern slumlord, a ramshackle structure of compartmentalized models soldered together into a skewed heap of explanations as the whole jury-rigged monstrosity tumbles skyward.
Of course many grand issues remain unresolved at the frontiers of physics: What is the origin of inertia? Are there extra dimensions? Can a Theory of Everything exist? But even at the undergraduate level, far back from the front lines, deep holes exist; yet the subject is presented as one of completeness while the holes—let us say abysses—are planked over in order to camouflage the danger. It seems to me that such an approach is both intellectually dishonest and fails to stimulate the habits of inquiry and skepticism that science is meant to engender.
In the first week or two of any freshman physics course, students are exposed to the force of friction. They learn that friction impedes the motion of objects and that it is caused by the microscope interaction of the two surfaces sliding past one another. It all seems quite plausible, even obvious, yet regardless of any high falutin' modeling, with molecular mountain ranges resisting each other's passage or running-shoe soles binding to tracks, friction produces heat and hence an increase in entropy. It thus distinguishes past from future. The increase in entropy—the second law of thermodynamics—is the only law of Nature that makes this fundamental distinction. Newton's laws, those of electrodynamics, relativity … all are reversible: None care whether the universal clock runs forward or backward. If Newton's laws are at the bottom of everything, then one should be able to derive the second law of thermodynamics from Newtonian mechanics, but this has never been satisfactorily accomplished and the incompatibility of the irreversible second law with the other fundamental theories remains perhaps the greatest paradox in all physics. It is blatantly dropped into the first days of a freshman course and the textbook authors bat not an eyelash.
To a physicist, moreover, the material world is divided into billiard balls and springs. An ideal spring oscillates forever, but anyone who has ever watched a real-world spring knows that forever usually lasts just a few seconds. We account for this mathematically by inserting a frictional term into the spring equation and the fix accords well with observations. But the insertion is completely ad hoc, adjustable by hand, and to claim that such a fudge somehow explains the behavior of springs is simple vanity.

text: My 6-rd mag seems to work fine. I got about 150 rounds through it. The plastic baseplate is solid and does not move. A metal notch in the middle of the plastic seems to hold it in place just fine. I have to pay close attention that it locks in the gun. With ear protection I can't hear it click in place. Couple of times it was not seated and slid out of the gun. My 8-rd mag baseplate does slip if I use my loader. The pressure pushes the plastic upward. I just use my thumb and slide it down so it can lock in the gun. Not sure if I will call Sig and ask for a replacement. Think they are probably all that way based on the design. No issues loading the 8-rd mag with two hands and my thumb. Except the last two rounds get tight to push in.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
The exhibition Napoleone Martinuzzi. Venini 1925–1931, will be hosted on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore till December 1st, 2013.
It is the second exhibition dedicated to the history of the Venini glassware company promoted by Le Stanze del Vetro, a cultural devoted to the study and the promotion of the art of glassmaking in the twentieth century.
Through the analysis and cross-checking of various documentary sources, a comprehensive review was made of the glass objects designed by Napoleone Martinuzzi between 1925 and 1931, when he was the Art Director of Venini. During the period of his collaboration with Paolo Venini, Martinuzzi designed beautiful objects whose shapes are inspired by classical design, but through the use of innovative techniques and of glass paste.
The exhibition Napoleone Martinuzzi. Venini 1925–1931 traces his whole production chronologically: from the elegant transparent blown glass to the works with an unprecedented opaque texture, from the experimentations with pulegoso glass (a semi-opaque or translucent glass with a rough surface due to tiny bubbles that form by using special ingredients) to pieces with intense and compact colours.
There are about 200 works on display, covering the most significant glass production of the ingenious sculptor from Murano. Many of these works were presented at the Venice Biennale between 1926 and 1930. The classical transparent glass pieces were presented, along with a collection of pulegoso glass with an archaic flavour, the striking aquariums together with the brightly coloured velato vases, the cacti together with a colourful bestiary.
"Napoleone Martinuzzi. Venini 1925 – 1931" at San Giorgio Maggiore Island till December 1st, 2013

Where I stayed
We spent the rest of the morning around V&A Waterfront (www.waterfront.co.za), where you`ll get shopping, dining, and lot of other stuff in one place.
Since this is the last major city that I'll have a chance to do some souvenir shopping, we quickly rushed to Green Market Square (http://www.sa-venues.com/attractionswc/greenmarket-square.htm). If you do a quick scan on the market, you`ll find that they all sell almost the same thing. Of course you`ll need to BARGAIN, and BARGAIN. They also have volume discount. Be nice to them and they`ll be nice to you. Remember, they start packing from 4pm so be there early and there`s also a tourist information nearby as well. Beware, there are lots of thugs near that area, some of them will approach you and ask you to pay them for the parking even though you have already paid. Some will ask for money and claim that they will "take care" of your car and help you to pay when the police come. Make sure you only pay to the parking fees collector in the city. They (parking fees collector) will come to you once you parked or you waive them here. It's about R2 per hour.
After that, we went to Camp`s Bay, about 15mins from the city and 2km from our hostel, is one of the famous beach with Table Mountain at the back.
After that we move on to Hout`s Bay, 15mins drive from Camps Bay. As soon as we arrived there, those beggars already there waiting for us so we took a few picture then quickly go before we get swarmed by them. There`s a scenic route using Hout's Bay to Noordhoek toll way but it was closed for maintenance when we were there. Our dinner was at Pasta Factory, a stone throw away from our hostel, eating the same pasta that we had in KNP but I still prefer the one at KNP :-).
Day 2, our plan was to go up Table Mountain… but the table cloth refuse to give up so we decided to head west to experience the flower power in the West Coast flower route. There`s no point to stick around in the city as it will most like rain the whole day. The most we left the city, clear sky ahead of us. Flower route is only available during spring when the wild flower booms (Sept - Nov). We had breakfast in Century City. I was looking for Chinese food but ended up with bacon and egg again. I then went to Canal Walk, the largest shopping centre in Cape Town, while Philip went back to hostel to pick up the map, careless and forgotten as usual. Be sure to pick up the brochure from tourist information before you go, it has a illustrated map in it. The people in tourist info will try to sell you another BIG map, quite costly, you can live by with the illustrated map on the brochure, but if you don`t mind to spare the money, buy the detail map. We stopped by Darling, Wayland Natures Reserve (small patch of land full with wild lilies and wild flowers) and Yzerfontein (coastal town with huge waves). Lilies, which are sold in Malaysia as a ridiculous price, are wild flowers in SA. You not only find hundreds but thousands of them dotted the entire landscape.
Day 3, the moment we pulled the curtain, we gave up hope on going up Table Mountain. Since we burn a hole in our pocket last night with the Chinese food, we decided to cook our own bacon+cheese+egg+bread breakfast in the hostel and enjoyed our breakfast at the room balcony staring at Table Mountain. Finally Philip had made up his mind about returning this lousy car and get a better one. He dropped me at Long Street to shop for souvenirs and drove back to Tempest to change the car. An hour later, he came back with a little Chevy greenie, not sure whether it is better than the previous TATA, but I like the color. We stopped by Waterfront Craft Market again for some souvenir shopping as this is the last chance. Satisfied with what I bought, we heads out to Table Mountain National Park, to the famous Cape of Good Hope.
Cape Town Must Go / Must Do:
- Table Mountain (Hope you`re not as bad luck as us)
- V & A Waterfront, Waterfront Craft Market
- Green Market Square for cheap souvenirs (Remember... BARGAIN !!)
- Camps Bay
- Cape of Good Hope / Cape Point
- Boulders for penguin viewing
- West Coast Flower Routes all the way to West Coast National Park (Sept - Nov)
- Get a Marimba music CD from a local African band
- Mama African for traditional African food, Marimba live band starts at 9pm
- Try out the local beer Castle

Town Square
Original post made by Emily West, editor of Danville Express, on Oct 3, 2010
This was the case recently, as I headed out to Diablo Country Club and Mangia Mi on Hartz Ave. These were two spots where the very attractive movie star was said to be spotted. On my way, I cursed my choice of bland, casual attire. In journalism school, they told me to blend in with the "man on the street." They don't tell you to dress everyday like you were going to meet Brad Pitt. That will be my motivation from now on, because you just never know.
My first stop was in the pro shop at Diablo Country Club. A young man and young woman were behind the counter when I asked them to set the rumor straight. They denied it, with the young man asking if perhaps he had caused any confusion with their similar features. Nice try, buddy. So as another employee walked in, they asked if he had seen Brad around. His reply was along the lines of, "who told you?" Very suspicious.
Next, I headed to Mangia Mi, the Italian restaurant in downtown Danville. It's situated off of the main street, with a back entrance. That's key for celebrities, if you read those gossip magazines and blogs. Not that I do. Talking with staff in between lunch and dinner service, I left with the same feeling that they were bluffing. "No," she said with a smile. "People have been asking me that a lot." She also said something about not being there when people were thinking he was there. Again, very suspicious.
I had heard he may have been at Hap Magee Ranch Park, but since I was already melting from the insane heat, I figured I would end my hunt turned wild goose chase.
My verdict? He was definitely around here. I can appreciate people wanting to help out with his privacy, but at least try to act surprised when I ask. It seemed like a left field question that would get weird faces instead of smiles and bad jokes. My guess is that he was filming or hanging around with Oakland A's GM Billy Beane, who I believe lives around town, since he's playing him in the movie "Moneyball."
So, keep your eyes peeled. And live everyday like you might meet Brad Pitt.

You got my attention with this juicy tidbit and I like the cute angle of your story. Isn't it funny how one can tell that another is lying?

Oh my gosh I would be the luckiest gal in the world to meet Brad Pitt and I will keep my hopes up and plan on continuing to go to my studio in Danville (155C Railroad Ave) in case Brad Pitt might be out on a stroll and wants to stop by and say "Hi!" You could make one very HAPPY Interior Designer! Maybe I should contact "SHAQ" and see if he's got my back!!!
