Man charged in Riverton shooting, bail to remain the same
Bail for the then-15-year-old male charged with second-degree intentional murder of Stanley Bryan King on Sept. 15 at King's home in Riverton will remain at $800,000.
Karsen Bryce King, Stanley's King's son, appeared Wednesday in Court Room 5 in front of Judge Erik Askegaard in Crow Wing County District Court in his blue jail attire and shackles. King, who turned 16 on Oct. 23, was certified to be charged as an adult at his last court appearance on Jan. 5.
King's attorney, Jana Austad of the public defender's office, asked the judge to reduce King's bail from $800,000 to $100,000.
Austad explained that during the Jan. 5 court hearing, Judge Richard Zimmerman set unconditional bail and bond at $100,000. Later that same day, Zimmerman called the attorneys back to the courtroom and raised the bond to $800,000 and ordered a bond study to be conducted by the probation department.
Austad argued to Askegaard that the court did not follow the rules. She said the court has authority to change the bail during the court hearing, not after it.
Crow Wing County Attorney Don Ryan argued that Zimmerman listened to Austad's argument in court that day and the judge believed the court had the authority to change the bail. Ryan said the bail should remain at $800,000.
After listening to both attorney's, Askegaard "respectfully disagreed" with the defense, denying the motion and keeping the bail set at $800,000. Askegaard said Zimmerman heard the arguments Jan. 5 and he raised the bail because it was what he deemed to be more appropriate.
King's next contested court hearing was set for Feb. 7 in front of Judge Zimmerman. Ryan said the court hearing most likely will be changed so King would be seen in front of another judge. Ryan said King appeared before Zimmerman during his juvenile hearing and normally in these type of cases, the defendant would be seen in front of a different judge when charged as an adult.

You are herecontent / Bahrain: Two martyrs as UK Government is criticised for pro-Alkhalifa stands
Bahrain: Two martyrs as UK Government is criticised for pro-Alkhalifa stands
Two martyrs fell during the week. First was Huda, eleven year-old girl who was suffocated by chemical gases that has become the main tool of repression against the people. She developed breathing difficulties leading to the deterioration of her health until she succumbed to painful death. The second was Hajji Mahdi Ali Al Marhoon, 60. Few months ago he was subjected to intense inhalation of chemical gases deployed by regime's forces against the people of Ma'amir Town. He was hospitalised but his condition deteriorated until he passed away on Wednesday 17th October. His funeral yesterday was attended by thousands of people who chanted anti-regime slogans calling for an end to the Alkhalifa hereditary dictatorship.
The repression has continued unabated. The security apparatus, commanded by John Timoney and John Yates has intensified its attempts to suppress dissenting voices or anyone attempting to uncover the truth. It is now illegal to tweet anti-Alkhalifa news. Anyone who criticises the dictatorship or its human rights abuses is liable for arrest, torture and imprisonment. Four people have now been targeted for tweeting anti-regime news. The situation has now deteriorated to levels far worse than in previous times. Instead of opening up freedoms, the Alkhalifa, encouraged by the Saudi occupation, Anglo-American military and security support, has become notorious for its human rights violations. It has made mockery of the recommendations by the Bissioni Commission and the Human Rights Council.
While Nabeel Rajab's trial earlier this week was postponed other human rights activists have been targeted and warned of severe consequences if they continued criticism of the Alkhalifa bleak record of human rights. Mohammad Al Masqati, the President of Bahrain Youth for Human Rights was arrested, threatened and ill-treated for criticising the Alkhalifa. No word of condemnation has come from the UN bodies responsible for protection of human rights defenders. Nabeel Rajab's ill-treatment has stained the human rights world which has failed to protect the most prominent human rights activist in the Gulf region from arbitrary arrest, torture and imprisonment. Amnesty International issued an Urgent Action calling for the immediate and unconditional release of Mr Rajab. AI has confirmed that at least one international observer was denied entry to Bahrain to observe the appeal against Mr Rajab's conviction. Since John Timoney and John Yates were seconded by USA and UK to support the the Alkhalifa criminal regime last year international human rights activists were banned from entering the country. The Alkhalifa have kept an iron-fist policy against Bahrainis with tight grip on police, intelligence, army, judiciary and media.
Amnesty International has issued a web petition on behalf of Jalila al-Salman and Mahdi 'Issa Mahdi Abu Dheeb, ahead of their final verdict on Sunday 21 October. They were sentenced in September 2011 by a military court to three and 10 years' imprisonment respectively. Mahdi is still in prison, he is a prisoner of conscience and Jalila may be arrested to serve her 3 years if their sentences are upheld. If imprisoned she will also be a prisoner of conscience. The link to the document is: http://amnesty.org/en/appeals-
These are the links to tweet the web petition and the video which are now both live:
Here's the video: http://bit.ly/TcXm3s
Here's the petition: http://bit.ly/Q6o90o
The Foreign Affairs Committee at the House of Parliament has criticised the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for not designating Bahrain as a "country of concern". It said: "The case of Bahrain illustrates many of our misgivings about the system for designating "countries of concern". In our report last year on the FCO's human rights work, we criticised the FCO for not designating Bahrain as a "country of concern" in its 2010 report, published in April 2011. Our criticism was made in the light of the brutal repression by the authorities of demonstrations against the regime in February and March 2011, in which at least 35 people are known to have died and some 2,000 people were arrested. Military courts were used to try civilians, and medical staff who treated the injured were brought to trial and sentenced to long periods of imprisonment." Soon after this report, Saudi Arabia issued a warning to UK that it would punish UK if Parliame nt took such stands regarding the situation in GCC countries. It remains for UK to rebuke the Saudi regime, which is the most repressive and reactionary regime in the world, for making this threat which is effectively a cheap and blatant blackmail.

|Bruins sign Peter Cehlarik to entry-level deal
|06.16.16 at 1:22 pm ET
The Bruins announced Thursday that they have signed forward Peter Cehlarik to a three-year entry-level deal.
Cehlarik, a left-shot wing from Slovakia, was drafted by the B's in the third round of the 2012 draft. He has played in Sweden since 2012.
Last season, Cehlarik scored 11 goals and added nine assists for 20 points in 46 games for Lulea HF of the Swedish Hockey League.
|Bruins take Peter Cehlarik in third, Ryan Fitzgerald in fourth
|06.30.13 at 8:42 pm ET
The Bruins drafted Slovakian left wing Peter Cehlarik with their third round pick. Cehlarik played last season in Sweden, playing junior hockey for Lulea.
Cehlarik was nearly a point-a-game player for Lulea Jr., producing 17 goals and 20 assists for 37 points last season in 38 games.
The B's used their fourth-round pick on center Ryan Fitzgerald, who is the son of former Bruin Tom Fitzgerald and the nephew of Bruins' assistant director of scouting Scott Fitzgerald. The North Reading native is committed to play his college hockey at Boston College after playing at Malden Catholic.
In the fifth round, the B's added another local player in defenseman Wiley Sherman. The 6-foot-6 Connecticut native is committed to play at Harvard.

Welcome to Brampton Willows
Brampton Willows is a family-run business in the East of England which was started by Robert Yates in the mid 1980s in response to a growing need for quality natural fencing and garden products.
Combining the precision of his surveying background with his love for the countryside, Robert cultivates about 15 acres of willow beds which he personally harvests, prepares and weaves into high-quality fences, cross country obstacles, and unique structures for the house and garden.
Our fences are physically woven on site, in situ, so that our willow can follow every turn, dip and bend in the landscape as closely as possible.
If you're looking for furniture and garden products look no further. Here are examples of how beautifully willow and wood can work together.
Aside from being used in traditional products, willow is a wonderfully versatile product which can be used in many unique ways.

After brawls last week, security to be tight for Vegas soccer match
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Soccer fans in Las Vegas will see stepped-up security for an exhibition match Saturday featuring Monarcas Morelia of Mexico and Luis Angel Firpo of El Salvador, following brawls at a match between intense Mexican rivals Chivas and Club America that sent six people to the hospital, officials said.
Las Vegas police officer Larry Hadfield said Friday that police were assigning an "appropriate'' number of officers to this weekend's game following the July 3 clash between fans of rival Mexican teams Chivas and Club America. He declined to provide specifics.
Eduardo Beltramini, president of the game promoter, Planet Futbol, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal (http://bit.ly/12m5Fzv ) that when fans see more security "they'll be less tempted to run onto the field and cause trouble.''
"We've talked to the stadium and the police and we'll provide adequate security,'' Beltramini said.
The Houston-based company has been organizing soccer games since 1993 and, Beltramini said, "never had the kind of incident that they had in Las Vegas last week with Chivas and Club America.''
Beltramini said the rivalry is less intense between Monarcas Morelia and Luis Angel Firpo and their respective fans.
Chivas won the "friendly'' match, 1-0. But the event was marred by fights in the parking lot before the game, confrontations in the stands during the game and brawls on the field after fans stormed the field. Play halted with several minutes still on the clock.
Bottles and flares were thrown and fireworks were set off in the stands. Photos showed one fan punched and kicked in the face, leaving him bloodied, unconscious and face down on the field.
The Las Vegas Sun reported (http://bit.ly/18bzzLi ) the game, called El Super Clasico, drew 14,000 fans and was staffed by 170 part-time security officers, ushers, ticket takers and an initial assignment of about 40 police officers.
The number of officers nearly tripled after Las Vegas, Henderson and University of Nevada, Las Vegas police officers were summoned.

/EHK-seh-tahn/ n.
By Ashley Yeager, 09:49 AM May 2, 2014
Getting excited can kick a person's energy to a higher level. At the nanoscale, strange almost-particles called excitons do the same trick.
In a crystal, thin film or even some liquids, an incoming particle of light can slam into an electron, bumping it to a higher energy level and leaving a hole at the energy level where the particle had been. The exciton is the excited electron paired with the resulting hole and can move energy in two ways: by physically hopping to a new molecule or transfer...

Gailey, Mario Discuss Williams' Wrist Procedure
Mario Williams returned to Orchard Park Monday for the first time since having a minor wrist operation last week. The Bills' high priced pass rusher had a bounce in his step and clearly received a dose of optimism from his "cleaned out" wrist. The following is a transcript of his comments and those from Chan Gailey on Monday.
Head Coach Chan Gailey
Q: Can we start with DE Mario Williams, he sounded encouraged.
Head Coach Chan Gailey
Q: Can we start with DE Mario Williams, he sounded encouraged.
A: Yeah, he did. I talked to him, too, and he sounded very encouraged. We will get him back at practice Wednesday and hopefully he does not miss a beat. Hopefully he is better. That is why we did it.
Q: So Wednesday is the target for practice then?
A: Yeah.
Q: Do you think he will be full-go?
A: It does not look like (there is) any residual, but things crop up. I think it will be fine come Wednesday. I hope.
Q: His confidence seems to be up, too. Just the fact the he has more mobility and motion in his wrist. How important might that be?
A: Anytime somebody is more confident, they play better. That is true with all of us. If we have more confidence, then we do better whatever our job is.
Q: How did OT Cordy Glenn do today?
A: Pretty good. I was very encouraged with what he did on the field. We will see how he is tomorrow. This is the first time he has really worked. We will see how he is tomorrow, but I was encouraged by what happened today.
Q: OG Kraig Urbik said he fully expects to play, is that your expectation as well?
A: That is my full expectation. He practiced well today, took a bunch of reps and we will increase that as the week goes on.
Q: DE Mark Anderson was not out there today, is he not going to make it this week?
A: It is going to be close. We will see if we can get him back on the field Thursday. If he cannot make it Thursday, then no. But if we can get him on the field Thursday, then maybe.
Q: How about OG Andy Levitre?
A: He did everything today. He was out there. He is good.
Q: What was he coming back from?
A: He was not coming back from anything. He just had a procedure, and I hate to use that word because you guys do not like that word, he had something done on his knee. They injected it or they did something to it, but he is fine.
Q: Right or left knee?
A: I do not know.
Q: Are you resting CB Terrence McGee?
A: Yeah. He is struggling to come back from that last game. He has struggled to get back completely from that last game so we are giving him as much rest as we can possibly give him and then see where he is.
Q: Sounds like there is a level of concern there with McGee?
A: There is. If it takes longer and longer for a guy to get back every time then it gets to be a problem for him and for us.
Q: Is it tough that he is still at that point halfway through the year?
Q: It is tough on him because I know what kind of competitor he is.
Q: You have to feel for him considering how hard he has worked to get back.
A: Yeah, I do. He has worked so hard to get back. He wants to. The thing about him is he cannot go half-speed. That is the thing about him. He cannot go through the motions and then play hard on Sunday. He pushes himself at practice. That is part of it. You have to be able to do that though.
Q: With that being part of it, is it good timing that CB Ron Brooks is coming back?
A: At least is gives us an insurance policy of some sort.
Q: Is there any final decision as to what to do with OG Chad Rinehart in terms of Injured Reserve?
A: We will probably make that decision by the end of the week because that would be the spot that (Ron) Brooks might have to take if that is the way it goes. Everything is looking that way, but I do not know if we are ready to pull that trigger today.
DE Mario Williams
Q: How is your wrist feeling?
A: It is feeling way better. Even after the procedure it is definitely feeling better than what it was before.
Q: Talk about the decision that led you to last week--just the process in getting to that point.
A: Dealing with the training staff every day and talking about a way to get better. Get me feeling better, getting back to working out and being able to use my hands. We felt like it was the best decision to kind of clean it out.
Q: What have you been told in terms of what you can expect to be able to do with this now coming out of the procedure last week?
A: Well by doing that it is just going to get me into a position to workout and use my other hand more adequately. I think that was the biggest thing as far as me feeling comfortable and just being able to get better. We are kind of at a dead point, kind of at a standstill. So there really was no other choice.
Q: Do you feel like you were playing with one arm out there essentially?
A: Yeah, whenever you cannot really workout and you cannot use your hand, definitely it was that way. That is why I really wanted to do it after talking to the training staff. We all made a decision to go get it done. It is not like it is going to set me back.
Q: What did you have done?
A: I just had it cleaned out. From whenever it got injured early on in the year, there was a bunch of junk and stuff that was in there. That is the reason why I could not have motion and could not really use it.
Q: They just scoped it?
A: I could not tell you exactly the terminology of that. They cleaned it out. I was not awake so I do not know. It is what it is. Basically just cleaned it out and it has given me more motion already.
Q: Will you practice and play this week?
A: Oh definitely. Definitely. I am not missing anything. That is the reason I did it. I did not do this to say 'This is it, I am going to miss something.' No, this is to get better. This is to have healing occur--which was not happening before.
Q: Did you try to do this on your own or did you ask the Bills if you should do this?
A: No, like I said obviously we talk every day dealing with my wrist and everything. It is just first it was a four-to-six week thing after it first happened and now it has been almost nine weeks. Definitely it was beneficial. It was definitely a decision made amongst us--myself and the training staff.
Q: Getting out there and practicing today, is this kind of the test day to see how far or how close you are to 100-percent?
A: I am not really sure if I am even (practicing). That is up to Bud (Carpenter) and the training staff if I am going to go out and practice today. I mean it is Monday. I think the biggest thing is just making sure it heals at this point, which it has done a great job. I did not have any swelling. They were shocked with how it came out and how well everything is already. I am very optimistic and excited about it. Hopefully I will finally get a chance to work out here soon and be able to use my hands.
Q: What does it do for your mindset going into a game that you circled on your calendar, going to play at Houston?
A: It uplifts me tremendously. Knowing that the training staff had confidence in it and that it is going to give me an edge as far as getting back. Before, like I said, there was nothing we could really do about it. It was just stagnant. I am definitely excited. This is a great week. We are coming off a bye week. Not just myself, but everybody having time to rest, kind of get back together and regroup.
Q: Was this done a week ago?
A: Yeah.
Q: In Houston?
A: No, Alabama.
Q: Are you close to pain free now?
A: Being that is has not even been a week, like I said I had it done Tuesday, the incision is the only thing I feel at this point. That is because it has only been six days, I guess.
Q: Come Sunday are you anticipating that you will be a 100-percent Mario Williams?
A: I am going to feel a lot better. I was told from the advice of the trainers and the doctors that did it, I will wear a cast. I was going to wear the cast regardless because, like I said, if I had not had it done I would have been in the cast and still in the same predicament. At least now in my mind I have a better mindset this week and next week it is going to get better. At least I know it is going in the right direction.
Q: So at some point and time you will be 100-percent?
A: I will be fine, but I think the biggest thing is mentally knowing that it is not getting any worse and that I can use it. My range of motion is already better. Once I get a chance for the incisions to finally heal and make sure I am not going to open them back up this week, which it will be this week, I will get back working out, get strength and everything like that. It has been a while.
Q: So you are still going to wear a cast?
A: It is just the smartest thing to do. Why would I go out here and risk doing something tragic?
Q: But you can use your fingers or hand?
A: Yeah. More motion.
Q: How big of an impact did this injury have on your ability to do what you normally do?
A: I have not worked out during the season like I did in the off-season. It has been a while. I think that is the biggest thing--I am a hands-on person. Everything I do is with my hands. Working out, not being able to do that is just mentally frustrating. I just felt like I was stagnant. That is why I am very excited about having been able to go clean it out and being optimistic about the things that happened as far as going forward from now on.
Q: How much do you think that fans who have criticized you have not seen the entire or real Mario Williams?
A: This is not me. I have said that before. I have never had something where it has lingered this long. It either is season-ending or it (gets better) in a week. Like I said, it has been almost nine weeks now. That has just been tough. But you get injured. Everybody gets injured and things like that--setbacks. I think the biggest thing for me is just being able to rebound for the second part of the season and get after it.
Q: How frustrated has it made you knowing that you have been criticized? I know you do not pay attention to it, but you have taken the brunt of criticism and you had high expectations for yourself.
A: Yeah, criticism is criticism. I think the biggest thing for me is my expectations for myself. Nobody wants me to be better than me. So definitely with this procedure it has given me a lot of hope and a different mindset.
Q: DE Chris Kelsay said he noticed that guys are not finishing plays on defense and that has to change. Do you agree?
A: Definitely. We critique each other and so forth. The biggest thing for me is that I know that there is definitely a lot more plays that I have to get done. I am just taking it with a different mindset, just going out and making it happen. I feel great about the possibility of finally being able to do things that I did not do from the very beginning of the season, so I look forward to it.
Q: So you do not have any doubts about Sunday?
A: I am excited.
Q: You said it was better, but can describe how it is better? Like the discomfort that is gone compared to how it feels now?
A: Pretty much it is in the sense of it does not hurt like it did before. It does not hinder me. I could not even use my hand to do anything pretty much, outside of being in a cast. I think at this point the only pain I feel is the incision. I have better range of motion already and I think the biggest thing is to try and get back into working out and getting strong again and being able to use my hand on the field.

Kale-Stuffed Mushrooms with Hazelnut Gremolata
These two-bite snacks are a California take on old-school stuffed mushrooms. Instead of using frozen spinach, Lauren Kiino adds kale; the hazelnut-lemon-garlic topping lends contrast and crunch.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 16 stuffed mushrooms
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Salt
- 16 large cremini mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon melted
- 1/4 cup minced shallots
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
- 2 cups finely chopped Tuscan kale leaves (about 2 ounces)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
How to make this recipe
Make the gremolata
Preheat the oven to 400°. Spread the hazelnuts in a pie plate and toast for 8 minutes, or until the skins split. Leave the oven on. Transfer the nuts to a clean kitchen towel and let cool slightly, then rub them together to remove the skins. Let cool completely, then coarsely chop the nuts. In a small bowl, combine the nuts with the lemon zest, garlic and parsley. Season with salt.
Prepare the mushrooms
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the mushroom caps stemmed side up on the baking sheet and brush them all over with the melted butter. Bake the mushrooms for 12 minutes, or until tender.
Prepare the mushrooms
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shallots, garlic and thyme and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a boil, then simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar and nutmeg. Let the filling cool slightly, then stir in the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare the mushrooms
Mound the kale filling in the mushroom caps. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until browned and bubbling. Transfer the mushrooms to a platter, sprinkle with the gremolata and serve.
Make Ahead
The stuffed mushrooms can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.
Suggested Pairing

DeWayne Walker Update
DeWayne Walker headed to NFL
Las Cruces, NEW MEXICO - Last night at New Mexico State's basketball game against Denver, ABC-7 sports reporter Asher Wildman spoke with NMSU A.D. McKinley Boston. Boston told Wildman, that he and head football coach DeWayne Walker are scheduled to meet Thursday. Last night, Boston was unaware if coach Walker was even in Las Cruces.
The meeting that is scheduled to take place Thursday is likely to end with Walker handing Boston his resignation. Asher Wildman learned through sources on Tuesday, that Walker had accepted a job to become the defensive back's coach for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars.
On Wednesday sources told ABC-7 that Walker's agent was negotiating a contract with the Jaguars.
Also at last night's game, Wildman spoke briefly with NMSU Offensive Coordinator Doug Martin. Martin is believed to become the next coach if and when Walker leaves, although he told Wildman he had not heard that. Martin did, however, tell Wildman he would have interest in the job if it were to become available.

On a kind of related note, although Michelle generally utilized choreographers, she choreographed this exhibition by herself in honor of her dead friend, and I think it's stunning
There's so many cool choreographic nuances. The lunges during "I run off where the drifts get deeper", the arm and leg movements during "mirror mirror where's the crystal palace?", and the wiggle and head bob at the end (I just remembered that the ending to Akiko Suzuki's "O" program is the same).

Yesterday may have been the first Sunday without football since last September, but that doesn't mean that the NFL has slowed down at all. In fact, business is about to pick up, as the homestretch of the NFL draft process is about to kick off with the NFL combine fewer than two weeks away.
One of the most important times of the year in the National Football League, the NFL draft is the culmination of months of work by front offices everywhere, as scouts and personnel executives have spent hours upon hours searching for the right players to fit their team. With the Miami Dolphins just missing out on the playoffs last season, they'll be one of the many teams hoping to find those collegiate players that can help push them over the top and into the postseason and further.
Of course, come draft time, everyone has an opinion on which players that teams should go after, but there's only a select few who can call it their occupation to prognosticate upon which players will pan out as NFL starters or even stars. Three of those men are the legendary NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN, former NFL scout and current NFL Network Draft Analyst Daniel Jeremiah, and Bleacher Report's NFL Draft guru Matt Miller. All three recently spoke about which players would be a potential fits for the Fins.
Miami's biggest need is obviously on the offensive line, as the Fins 2013 unit surrendered the most sacks in the league with 58, eight more than the closest team in Jacksonville. It was a group that suffered from several major inconsistencies in their play, including the fact that it was rare that the same five players started together at the same position on multiple occasions. To help stabilize the foundation of their offense, all three pundits believe that Miami will look to use their 1st round pick on an offensive lineman, and the name that keeps coming up in conversation is Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin.
Martin may have played left tackle in college and could become a starter in the NFL at that position, but Jeremiah believes that Martin could be really special if he moves inside to guard in the pros.
"The thing I love about him, he's got so much balance. He's never on the ground, he's got real strong hands," said Jeremiah. "I wish he was just a little bit taller, a little bit longer to play tackle, but I think he's got the feet to do it. But when you slide him inside to guard, I thought you saw a really special player because he can move people, he can adjust in space."
Kiper Jr. agrees with Jeremiah's sentiment on all fronts, believing that Martin likely has a successful NFL career. He thinks he'd be a good pick for the Dolphins in the 1st round.
"Zack Martin to me would be the guy because you can put him at left tackle, he can play guard or right tackle. He gives you great versatility," said Kiper. "Zack Martin would be a real good pick for Miami at that point (#19 overall)."
Miller of Bleacher Report also could see Martin going to the Fins at that point as well, but there's another name that he sees that could easily end up in a Dolphins uniform. That'd be Taylor Lewan, the 6'8" offensive tackle out of the University of Michigan.
"I think Taylor Lewan from Michigan is a guy to consider. People have kind of forgotten about him throughout the process because of Jake Matthews or Greg Robinson, but I think Lewan is still a quality pick in the middle of the first round," said Miller. "You have a guy who's a prototypical left tackle and does such a good job with his timing, with his punch. He's strong enough to help in the run game. I think if he's there at #19, he'd be a great pick for Miami."
Another position that the Dolphins could look at come draft time would be running back, specifically a bruising power back that could help alleviate the short yardage problems that the Fins had last season. But don't expect them address that need in the first round according to Kiper. In fact, he doesn't see any teams spending a first round pick on a running back given the way the NFL is today.
"Running backs, I've always said for 35 years, I wouldn't take one in the first round and now over the last five years, definitely not," said Kiper. "In the first round I don't even see a running back going. Maybe Carlos Hyde from Ohio State, but there's a chance that no running backs could go in the first round."
Hyde is a name that keeps coming up around the league as the consensus top running back in the draft, and the bruiser from Ohio State who excels after contact and is productive in pass protection may be someone that could interest Miami. But if the Dolphins decide to use their first round pick on an offensive lineman, it's more than likely that Hyde isn't available the next time they come around on the board barring a trade. There are plenty of other options at the position though according to Jeremiah, including guys like Andre Williams of Boston College and Tre Mason of Auburn.
"(Andre) Williams from Boston College is 230-something pounds and he's got maybe the most unique running style I've ever seen," said Jeremiah. "But when he gets into the open field, he can go a little bit."
"You know, he's not a 230 pound back but when you think of a power back, you look at Auburn and you look at Tre Mason," said Jeremiah. "He's a great short yardage back, so he's one to keep in mind. Mason to me differentiates himself from the standpoint that he's more of a power guy rather than just a quick change of pace guy."
Another possible power back according to Matt Miller is Charles Sims of West Virginia. Originally pegged as more of a pass catching back from his days at Houston, Miller sees Sims as a short yardage specialist that can also catch the ball out of the backfield.
"He's a big thick kid. He has the strong legs and the drive to get those 3rd and threes, 3rd and two type situations," said Miller. "He's a guy I'm thinking third round definitely they could be taking a look at him."
There are needs on the defensive side of the ball as well, and with guys like Brent Grimes, Nolan Carroll and Chris Clemons free agents, Miami will need to add depth in the secondary, regardless of whether any if not all three players stay with the team or not. Possible safeties that could interest the Dolphins in the middle rounds according to Miller include some guys that play as intimidators, including Ahmad Dixon from Baylor and Deone Bucannon from Washington State.
"I think it's a second or third round need for the Dolphins. Ahmad Dixon from Baylor is a hitter, a guy who's more of an intimidator in the secondary," said Miller. "Deone Bucannon from Washington State is another guy with a similar mold, someone who will come up and be a hitter and help you, kind of control the middle of the field and give you more of that physical presence opposite (Reshad) Jones."

I like the Zack Martin pick. Anytime you can get a guy that you can insert in any position on your o-line, it's like getting several players with one pick. I just hope there's no bloodline to that previous Martin guy we had on the line. I' m not in favor of taking a RB early and may be not at all. I'm convinced that Gillislee is our answer there, but that's another argument for another day. There is one guy that wasn't mentioned that I believe Hickey has his eye on, and this guy if he just happens to slide down a bit would be a steal at 19. His name is Eric Ebron TE out of North Carolina. And with Hickey's philosophy of taking the best available player regardless of need, it would surprise me more if he passed on him, than it would if he took him. But this all depends on what his plans are for Keller. Hopefully we know before the draft.
Some fans are expecting to see Hickey take 3 or 4 linemen in the draft, but that's not going to happen. Look for him to take definitely one and maybe two, but that's it. The rest will come via free agency and trade, where we will acquire veteran leadership. I spent some time yesterday, going over the Martin/Incognito texts, and I'm worried about some repercussions to Pouncey after the Wells investigation is released. As much as I hate to say it, it appears that there was some serious drug use going on at Pouncey's place in the days leading up to OTA's and Training Camp and maybe into the start of the season. Incognito appears to be encouraging Martin to stay away from Pouncey's place, until after the season. All of this may come to light and it may just blow over. But if it does, we could be starting the season without Pouncey, meaning NO veteran leadership at all as it stands right now. I hope I'm wrong about this, but I read them several times to make sure I understood what I was reading.
I believe that our #19 and #50 need to be O-line unless there is a beast still available to plug into the D-line. Safeties today need to be more finesse players than in the past due to the hard hitters being flagged for hitting. The game is becoming pussifyed. I am sure our brain trust is aware of this and will draft accordingly. Last year I wanted out #1 pick to be Kenny Vicarro the safety, and we would have had our two picks in the second round. I hate trading up when you can still obtain a talented player potentially where you are and keep all of your draft picks. The Dolphins just need to evaluate better regardless of the way these players are perceived to go in which round. Draft for need and we will become a much better team. EVALUATE Miami – EVALUATE! GO DOLPHINS!!!
Love to see the Fins pick up Lewan and/or Hyde and create an identity on offense under Lazor. Either way, I think Miami will bring to the 2 TE set to the field.
Tre Mason or Carlos Hyde in the second or third round after getting a tackle in the first would be perfect
If we can resign McKenney for 2 more yrs I think Martin would be a great pic. Improve our interior running game would be a big help. Then try and pick up another LT in rd 2 and 3.
Trade up for Greg Robinson and sign Brendan Albert. Draft a guard in round 2 or 3 to groom and lets move on
Our OL was not the only problem last year. Everyone wants to build an offense, but the team that wins the Superbowl every year has a bad ass defense. I think our first round should be Calvin Pryor or HaHa Clinton-Dix. We need a hitter at Safety. Our Safeties are week. If our defense would have held the lead in games that Tannehill and his 58 sacks got us, we would have won 4 additional games, including sweeping the Pats. The sacks are credited to a lot of different things. The OL is only one of them. Our Running backs were awful in picking up the blitz and Tannehill has not learned to read blitzes yet. Tannehill holds onto the ball too long as well. And Mike Sherman kept calling the wrong predictable plays. When you add up all of these items, you get sacks. I went back through the games that I recorded this last year and I counted 30 sacks that Tannehill was responsible for by himself. That means the OL and RB's were only responsible for 28. Now where does that rank us in the league? Adding a first round OL who has never played one down in the NFL will not fix our sack problem. Fluker who was a first rounder and the many other OL first rounders did not get their teams into the Superbowl and were constantly giving up sacks when it counted. We already went there with Jake Long. How many playoff appearances did we have with him? I say we build a bad ass defense like Seattle did. Remember the "Killer Bees" and "No Name Defense". Oh yes, that is when the Dolphins were in the Superbowl!!!!!
Well we do know that JP loves multidimensional players. We know that they will try to do everything possible to retain BG. We know we need two new tackles and two new guards.
We know we need a new ball-bustin' DT. We know we need a RB who can get short yardage
and rush-block. We need the DC to cut RJ loose and let him play his game. And, God help us we desperately need to find the motivation to play like a team with their hair on fire. Have the
team watch film of the three or four truly motivated players that we have now. Go Dolphins !!
I see a lot of people talking about acquiring Jimmy Graham because he's a free agent. Does anyone in there right mind, honestly think that New Orleans is going to let Graham go anywhere? Not a chance. They will offer him a contract, or simply match what any other team offers him. He's not leaving New Orleans people, so quit wasting your time on him.
Next Tuesday is the first day that teams can put the Franchise Tag on players. They don't have to do it that day, but it's the first day that they're allowed to. Who do you think that the Dolphins use it on? I don't think it's Grimes. We don't want to alienate him by tagging him. I think he deserves a 4 or 5 year contract and the team needs to do whatever they have to, to get a deal done. I know he'll be 31 next season, but he's a young 31. He took a year off with the Achilles injury, but his rehab process and the time off, probably added 2 years to his playing time. Nothing less than 4 years for Grimes. I think Hickey needs to decide which guy to keep between Soliai and Starks and tag that guy. My gut says Soliai. They're both getting older and replacing them both is probably only a year or two away. So why do a long term on either one of them, when you can tag one for a year.
STUDS WANTED! BEASTS WANTED! PLAY MAKERS WANTED! Johnathan Martin- Not Wanted
Thank you for mentioning Carlos Hyde. Been watching him closely for 4 years and he's the definition of beast. A strong running game helps the passing game everytime. I like Miller but more as a 3rd down or change of pace back. If you can get a LT/RT in the first round get him and trade up to early 2nd to get Hyde. Then work on how to get our 3 pass rushers on the field at the same time, sure up the DB's and go on to the playoffs.
I only like Zack Martin if we move him to the inside as an offensive guard, and I don't like using first rounders on OG's. But if we go that route, I sure as hell hope that we addressed OT in free agency with signing two of the following: Brandon Albert, Michael Oher, Roger Saffold, or Eugene Monroe. That's the only way to justify taking Martin in the first round IMHO, and even then, I'd much rather go defense with a Darqueze Denard or a Justin Gilbert or a Ryan Shazier or a HaHa Clinton Dix or a Calvin Pryor to upgrade the secondary or the linebacking corps and then go after a David Yankey or someone of that ilk in the second round at OG, and then go get one of the bruisers at RB in the third round. Someone like Tre Mason, Bishop Sankey, or Jeremy Hill.
If we kept Irelands best picks… swapped most of his head up his ass picks with players picked later… he would be considered "awesome' THEN AGAIN, AS THE SAYING GOES" IF A QUEEN HAD B—-, SHE WOULD BE KING
Best available tackle in the first, best available guard in the second, then go after a back in the third.
We need oLine help bad . Everything else can come later in the draft and free agents .

SURE, IT'S FUN to travel, but when you live in a city like ours, where a slew of international nightlife options are merely a cab ride away, sometimes it's better to stay in the homeland.
Cain Luxe
This West Chelsea club, with its (faux) elephant tusks and zebra prints, channels South Africa perfectly. The Cape Town feel is heightened by the Djembe drummer who wanders through the club—adding a tribal beat to your favorite Lady Gaga song. If you're lucky, he'll let you bang on the drum, too. 544 W. 27th St., 212-947-8000
Felix Bar & Restaurant
This French-bistro-themed Soho restaurant actually caters to a South American crowd on the weekends. On Sundays Latinos and Latinas pack the joint to the rafters as they dance and sing along to Spanish tunes. Come early (to avoid the lines), and by 5 PM you'll be shimmying on the tables with the rest of the sexy crowd, a delicious mojito in hand. 340 West Broadway, 212-431-0021
This underground Soho enclave—a Russian-style caviar bar and restaurant—is HQ for those who love vodka. Nearly 70 brands are available here, including 10 house-infused flavored vodkas. With Russian words painted on the ceiling arches, it really does feel like the Kremlin is near. And if you want the caviar, bring the big bucks—roe for two can run you as much as $350. 281 Lafayette St., 212-226-4944
The Standard Hotel
The Standard in the Meatpacking District, the latest NYC installment from hotelier/ hospitality impresario André Balazs, is hosting some serious parties, like the recent Cinema Society and Hugo Boss bash for Inglourious Basterds with such international guests as Diane Kruger (German), Fréderic Fékkai (French), Frederique Van Der Wal (Dutch) and Alex Lundqvist (Swedish) among others. 848 Washington St., 212-645-4646

They called it a farce. They called it cheating. They called it an injustice in minor league baseball.
But no matter how Erie fans and officials see it, it appears Jeremy Sowers will be pitching for the Aeros come Game Three of the Eastern League Southern Division Playoffs when the series shifts to Akron Friday.
After initially being blocked from sending the left-hander to Akron Wednesday, the parent-club Indians circumvented minor league rules by using a major league transaction to get Sowers on the roster.
I'll have a story in the Beacon tomorrow about Sowers and there is a real good in-depth story on the situation on milb.com by my good friend, Jonathan Mayo. So I won't bore you with all the details here.
Just know that after snubbing the Aeros practically all season in terms of the Indians brass not sending Kinston's top players to replace the ones the Aeros lost to Triple-A Buffalo, suddenly the Tribe is making up for lost time by sending the team the services of both the crafty Sowers and hard-throwing right-hander Adam Miller.
Even if they had to ruffle a few feathers to do it.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The UAB Department of Athletics and Blazer Boosters hosted the annual Belles & Whistles Dinner and Fundraiser on Thursday, April 25, on the floor of Bartow Arena.
The event raised over $35,000 and all proceeds will equally benefit women's student-athlete scholarships and locker room facility improvements. Belles & Whistles (formerly the Blazer Women's Athletics Society) has raised over $350,000 since its inception in 2008. UAB Athletics presently sponsors 11 female sports (approximately 135 student-athletes), which results in more than $2.1 million in annual scholarship costs.
The keynote speakers were UAB Athletics Director Brian Mackin, Blazer women's tennis head coach Lisa Jackson, current UAB track and field student-athlete Rachel Harley, and Alicia Huey, who is the president of the Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders and an avid supporter of UAB Athletics.
Lenora Pate, a lawyer with Sirote & Permutt, P.C. and a graduate of UAB, served as the emcee. Coach Randy Norton, the new head coach of the Blazers' women's basketball program, was the special guest speaker at this year's dinner.

Flexible work tops agenda for crunch mums
By Paul Casciato
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Flexible working hours, homeworking opportunities and cover for emergencies or school holidays are the top concerns for working mothers, according to a British survey on Thursday.
The survey of 1,677 people by specialist employment advice website workingmums.co.uk showed that despite a tougher jobs climate, in which redundancies had risen dramatically during the recession, mothers clamored for a more malleable schedule.
Flexible hours for full-time jobs came top of the list for 85 percent of respondents who were asked what they thought made for a family-friendly employer. That came just ahead of homeworking opportunities.
"Flexibility is really key and being able to achieve an element of work/life balance," Workingmums.co.uk founder Gillian Nissim told Reuters.
She said the recession had not reduced the urgency of this issue for working mums and that employers who want to be prepared for the eventual upturn would do well to listen to them rather than risk losing them to more forward-thinking rivals.
Many women said they had considered setting up their own business as a way around the flexibility problem and nearly half (45 percent) of respondents said they had looked into it.
Nissim said the workingmums.co.uk database alone showed that on average working mums have more than 15 years of work experience and a range of valuable skills picked up in the workplace and from their parenting experiences.
"So the benefits to employers of being able to accommodate a degree of flexibility is significant," she said. Continued...

Back to Pind, and on with the RWT.
I'm back in Pind today after a couple of weeks in Jalandhar. The last travelogue was on Friday 21st April, when Darshan Uncle came back from Australia. I stayed by uncle's side day and night, until the morning of Tuesday 25th April, when he passed away. Those four days were probably the most difficult days I have faced in my entire life, I find it very hard to find words that can aptly describe my experience over those few days, I guess something's are just not meant to be told... by the end I was totally drained both physically and emotionally and I felt a definite change in my outlook on life in general. The last year or so of Uncle's life was a real a struggle, he tried his best to fight the cancer but the odds were stacked against him. I still remember last year, I was here in March for a wedding and Uncle was complaining about a toothache, that's how it started out, and 14 months later he is no more. His passing away is obviously a major loss to the family and the community in Basti. He was the kind of person who touched people's hearts and made a difference to peoples life, having stayed at the house the past couple of weeks, I heard so many heart-warming stories, from people who came to pay their respects, about the good things Uncle had done in his life. I know we all have to go one day, but for someone who had done so much for others all his life, it was a harsh way to go. No one deserves to go like that. The past couple of weeks have left me feeling a little lost and disheartened, but life must go on. I'm sure you'll understand if I'm not my usual self for a while...
I was still in Basti last night and got up at 4.30am to see Vinod off, he left to go back to England. I went back to bed around 6am and then got up at 10am. The bullet has been with the mechanic for the past three days having a major overhaul, it was finally ready this morning so I went to pick it up. It is running like brand new, I don't know how long it will stay like that but I'm going to make the most of it. We have been planning a trip into the mountains around Kullu, Manali and Dharamshala on bikes, at least I'll get my money's worth out of the repairs!
I had a few things to do in Jalandhar, I went to the bazaar to buy a bass skin for a Dhol I have here in Pind and then went to the office to update the site and check mail. I received an e-mail from Danny telling me about a link to the BBC website that has an article about the Nachda Sansaar tour of Punjab. I read the article and was surprised to find it mention's me! Thanks Danny, the feelings mutual. Check out this link to the site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/content/articles/2006/05/03/nachda_sansaar_bhangra_india_tour_feature.shtml
The electric went off in Jalandhar at 4pm so I just made my way back to Pind. The temperature has increased over the past two weeks and it's usually around 40 decrees so there is not that many people around during the day. There was no traffic on the way home and I made it back to Pind in 40 minutes. When I got back I just chilled. Gagan came over in the evening and we made plans for a trip to Jalandhar tomorrow in search of a car. Soma has decided in his wisdom that he wants to buy a car. If he gets one before we leave for our tour of Himachal then we will go in that, otherwise it's the bikes. Personally I want to go on the bikes, but I'm not the only one going, so lets see what happens.
I have put some pictures in today's travelogue of a lightning storm in Basti a few days ago, thanks once again to Derek for teaching me about long exposure. There are also pictures of Kittu doing a repairs on the bullet, if anything goes wrong with it now I'm not spending a penny on it!!!

This is prime time for dutch oven cookin! Cool crisp days warmed by hot cast iron.
Starting to plan for a full blown traditional American Dutch Oven cookout. All will be prepared home made out back. Turkeys, Hams, sourdough bread, pecan bourbon pies, apple pies and the traditional pumpkin pie. Oh, and my personal favorite, home made baked beans in my favorite cast iron kettle!
Work around the house? is there such a thing?
Just moved (again), have free reign to do what I want. Have to paint at least two rooms, rip up most of the carpet and replace it with tile or hardwood, insulate a bathroom, build a chicken coop, put up bookshelves, fix broken counterweights on windows, build a porch, finish unclogging a stubborn drain...
I'm going to be busy.
My old house needs quite a bit of work. For fall, I need new gutters. Also I need to finish off my stucco. If I could remove my old patio and get it replaced by fall, that would be great. I will also need to cut back a few plants.

Peripheral fibroma/fibrous epulis accounts for the great majority of localised gingival swellings as was substantiated by various reports in the literature. A study was undertaken to investigate the clinical features of a series of 204 localised fibrous gingival swellings received by the Histopathology Laboratory, Department of Oral Surgery, National University of Singapore. The female patients were more affected than the male patients and the lesions occurred predominantly among the Chinese. The lesions were mainly pedunculated and most commonly occurred in anterior maxilla. The recurrence rate was about 10.3. In conclusion the results obtained in this study were overall in agreement with those of other authors.

1 week post op chin implant. I can barely smile, I look very weird and can't smile the way used to. Should I be worried?
I am also completely numb on my lower lip still and my chin. Very concerned I won't be able to smile normally again and sensation won't return to my lip
Doctor Answers 6
Lip and Chin Stiffness after Chin Implant Surgery
All of your symptoms after chin implant surgery can be very common, particularly the stiffness of the chin and lips. This is just swelling causing the stiffness of the tissues and the distorted mouth movement. This will definitely pass by 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. It may be prolonged a little longer if the approach to put in the implant was done from inside the mouth. The lip and chin numbness should to but if there is no improvement in a month after surgery, you should bring this to the attention of your surgeon.
Web reference: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com
Chin augmentation problems.
I am very concerned about the numbness you describe. After a chin augmentation procedure once the local anesthetic has worn off in 3 or 4 hours there should be very little or no numbness at all. The fact that there is this large degree of numbness 1 week post-op is a bad sign ( small areas of numbness and tingling are not uncommon for a week or two if the nerve has been stretched a bit ) and may mean that the mental nerves which moderate sensation in the area were injured during the surgery. There is nothing to do except possibly remove the implant, because if its presence is causing pressure on the nerve........... removal may, and its a big "may", let the problem correct itself. The smile problem most likely is due to swelling and should improve over 4-6 weeks.
Don't worry just yet
at 1 week there should be a fair amount of swelling remaining. I have found that it really takes 2-3 weeks for the majority of swelling to recede. Numbness to the lip this early is also not uncommon. You and your surgeon will be better able to assess things in another few weeks. Hope all goes well and you love your chin implant as most patients typically do. Landon McLain MD, DMD Huntsville, AL.

Post chin implant
Follow up with your surgeon. It is normal for there to be swelling and numbness and things usually improve quickly after the first week. Good luck. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon
1 week post-op chin implant
It is not abnormal to have numbness and swelling after one week that can affect your smile. I would recommend following up with your surgeon, as he/she knows the details of your procedure and will be able to advise you. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Recovery and chin implant
One week after placement of a chin implant, it would not be unusual to have some numbness and a different smile. The swelling that occurs after the procedure can alter the smile temporarily and the numbness of the lower lip and chin can be caused by irritation to the nerve during surgery. In most cases, these issues resolve over time. It sometimes can take weeks to months to resolve though. I would mention these problems to your surgeon so that he or she is aware and can follow your progress.

Lalvani says that BlackBerry has a four part plan. Part 1 deals with BES 10, the company's successful mobile device management service. The manufacturer continues to add users here, and luckily for BlackBerry, when it moved from BES to BES 10, it added support for iOS and Android devices. Lalvani says that soon, BES 10 will add Windows Phone to the platforms it serves. The service allows IT managers to control employees' devices that they bring to work and hook them up to the mail system. BES 10 can also lock down cameras on connected phones during business hours, and remotely wipe a lost or stolen handset.
The second part of the plan is to offer BES 10 to small and medium businesses in India as a cloud service. According to Lalvani, India has the second most small and medium enterprises after China. So far,Indian companies are responsible for 2000 BES 10 installations out of the 80,000 companies and government agencies that are using the service worldwide.
BlackBerry has already started with the third part of its plan, which is to get BBM on as many handsets as possible. BBM for iOS and BBM for Android were both a success in terms of the number of people who installed the messaging service on their phone. Now, it is up to BlackBerry to "Trojan Horse" and monetize it. One way it might do this is with BlackBerry Channels, which has recently been added to a beta version of the Android version of BBM. Channels consists of discussion groups that BBM users can start and populate, BlackBerry believes that it can get paid by corporations who want to reach the tens of millions of BBM users with branded content.
The last part of the plan calls for BlackBerry to lower the cost of its new BlackBerry 10 devices with a focus on the emerging markets. These low end handsets are the ones that Foxconn will be taking care of for the next five years. The first of these phones to be delivered is expected to be one with the code name Jakarta. This is an all-touch, BlackBerry 10 model originally targeted for Indonesia. Also, in India BlackBerry recently cut the price of its QWERTY equipped BlackBerry Q5 to 19,900 INR ($319 USD) from 25,000 INR ($401USD).
The Managing Director has pointed out that while in past years, 65% of its sales came from Devices. Now, BlackBerry gets 65% of revenue from Software and Services, and only 35% from Devices. Will this shift help BlackBerry succeed with its four pronged attack on the market? We should know the answer by this time next year.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
If this weekend's big Tea Party rally in DC was any indication, a lot of Americans believe that Democrats trying to reform health care are secretly plotting a socialist revolution. According to Bloomberg, though, this is nothing new. Health care reform opponents have been stoking fears of socialism during health care debates since at least Franklin Roosevelt's day. The story even digs up a 1961 quote from Ronald Reagan invoking the term—long before he went into politics.
"From here, it's a short step to all the rest of socialism," Reagan, then an actor, warned in a 1961 record sponsored by the American Medical Association after President John F. Kennedy created a commission that laid the foundation for Medicare.
There's a reason reform opponents like to throw around charges of socialism: it works. Bloomberg says:
Once the public associates the word "socialism" with a plan, it's hard to change the impression... In 1945, when Truman addressed Congress about a national insurance plan, 75 percent of Americans supported the proposal. By 1949, after it was targeted by opponents, only 21 percent did, according to a book by former Democratic Senator Tom Daschle, "Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis."
Sadly, history seems to be repeating itself. According to a recent poll, since Republicans and others have been invoking socialism to defeat Democratic reform bills, 52 percent of Americans now disapprove of President Obama's handling of health care, up from 28 percent in April.

How will the tax offset work in practice?
Jessica's startup, PaySmart Pty Ltd, is moving to the next stage of development. Jessica has successfully developed a working prototype of her on-time bill payments software application with assistance from Alex, her early stage (angel) investor. She is now looking to commercialise her software and needs a further injection of capital. She is hoping to raise $5 million in equity funding.
Jessica receives funding from a range of venture capital funds, including a new ESVCLP (called A-OK Ventures). Moores Trust invests $500,000 into A-OK Ventures (alongside other investors) and A-OK Ventures invests this capital in the same income year. The 10 per cent non-refundable tax offset available under the new arrangements will reduce the tax payable by the beneficiaries of Moores Trust by $50,000.

Social networks and real-time marketing is a classic chicken-or-the-egg scenario: have social networks evolved to support real-time marketing, or is the real-time frenzy a product of social media mania? Either way, as social networks continue to grow at an exponential speed, as illustrated in eMarketer's "Meeting the Need for Speed: How Social Analytics Support Real-Time Marketing," it's evident that real-time marketing is becoming a brand imperative.
In fact, the report cites stats from Infogroup Targeting Solutions and Yesmail Interactive that reveal that 53 percent of marketers plan to make greater use of real-time data in 2013, and 80 percent intend to incorporate social data into their overall marketing efforts. Marketers need to take a proactive stance and act at the same pace as their customers. Users are interacting with each other and brands in real time and marketers need to react quickly both to their customers and to their competitors. Social analytics tools are maturing to accommodate the demand. And it's not just analytics that are adapting – marketing teams are also evolving to become more nimble and able to react and respond quickly in the social space.
What does "real time" really mean? It's not necessarily a measure of actual time, per se. Real time doesn't always equal instantaneous. But, as the name implies, it does mean quick – certainly faster than it typically takes to get a campaign through compliance, legal hoops, and whatever other approval processes most brands require. Real time in the age of social media means "fast enough to still be relevant," and relevancy, as we all know, can be here one tweet and gone the next.
Some notable examples of real-time marketing are, of course, the notorious Oreo response to the Super Bowl blackout. The "You can still dunk in the dark" tweet was retweeted over 10,000 times in one hour. It may not have been the most brilliantly creative ad of the night, but it was certainly the most relevant and timely. Smart Car's hilarious infographic response to a negative tweet last year is another sterling example.
So, what does it take to go real time? Do brands have to throw caution to the wind and give the socially savvy intern carte blanche? Hardly. At the risk of sounding terribly ironic, this much spontaneity requires a lot of planning. However, with the right tools and the right team, brands can pull it off.
For starters, brands need a smart social analytics tool that can not only listen to and determine relevant social chatter, but enable them to act on these real-time nuggets. Real-time marketing intelligence tools are finally becoming available. It started with listening tools and now is becoming a class of tools that combines listening with sophisticated algorithms. As I said in the eMarketer report, "What marketers value is insights in real time. But information is only valuable if it's actionable." The ability to quickly and efficiently filter through social data to identify and leverage relevant, actionable data to influence core marketing strategies is the key to real-time success.
Again, not to oversimplify things here: a real-time marketing strategy can't be built overnight, any more than a command center can be assembled in a day, or key stakeholders can be pulled together at a moment's notice. Oreo's infamous tweet was allegedly 18 months in the making. Not that they'd actually planned the blackout, of course, but they embarked on a real-time marketing strategy a year and a half earlier, so that by the time the Super Bowl ad aired, Oreo was already a well-oiled, real-time marketing machine.
Are you ready for real time? It's the next wave, and it's already begun to storm the social shores. Start thinking about it, because in order to stay afloat, you're going to need to learn to swim.

It's lovely when someone remembers your birthday. It's really special when they remember the occasion, 450 years on. The birth of William Shakespeare, considered by many the greatest ever playwright and poet, is being commemorated with a huge party this weekend at his birth-place Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England.
Interestingly, there is ongoing discussion and dispute as to exactly which day Shakespeare was born. If you wander into the town's Holy Trinity Church, you will see the parish registry entry of his baptism on April 26. Many historians have deduced that since baptisms occurred in the 1500s within three days or so of being born, then Shakespeare was born on April 23. Not everyone agrees. He died on April 23, 52 years later.
The town thrives on a robust tourism industry with about 3 million people each year wandering to the street where his family home still stands. There are walking tours (if you chance upon a wonderful gentleman called David Gunnell you are in for a delightful and mesmerising "theatrical" performance as he delivers the tales and wonders of Shakespeare's life) and the aforementioned church to visit. There are pubs the Bard may or may not have frequented and homes he could have lived in for a while and the lovely tale of the spiteful neighbour to be heard.
In the lead-up to this weekend, the visitor's centre, namely Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Henley Street, has had a revamp. It's more interactive and the entrance has had a minor facelift. The informative, brilliant guides that wander through the home telling great stories, remain.
Each year there's a "People's Pageant" through the streets which ends as flowers are reverently placed on Shakespeare's grave at the Holy Trinity but this weekend is extra special.
Huge throngs are expected to join the usual masses that gather. There will be jubilant flag-waving crowds on Saturday, lining the streets of the Elizabethan market town as the procession weaves its way through the streets, attracting actors, foreign diplomats and dignitaries.
Naturally, there is going to be a giant cake. A massive model concoction decorated by local primary school children will demand a horse and carriage for transport as it becomes a focal point for the procession, which marks its own 150th milestone.
A costumed character playing the role of Shakespeare will accompany the cake which is expected to begin its journey at his birthplace, head to the "Handing over the quill" (a current student of KES Grammar School where Shakespeare was a pupil will receive a ceremonial quill) in Bridge Street.
The vicar of Stratford-upon-Avon, Patrick Taylor, will then steer the cake and procession towards Shakespeare's grave at the Holy Trinity Church.
After the march, a community pageant will urge all locals and visitors to kick up their heels at the party: a joyous celebration which includes players, musicians and performers marking the milestone.
It's at this party that edible, free cake made by a local bakery will be administered to the sure-to-be ravenous revellers.
In addition, The Royal Shakespeare Company, based in Stratford, has embarked on a six-year endeavour to perform every single play he ever wrote.
Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is an independent charity caring for the Shakespeare heritage sites in Stratford-upon-Avon. The charity runs formal and informal educational programs for people of all ages. It holds the world's largest Shakespeare-related museum and archives free to the public.
Royal Shakespeare Company aims to keep audiences in touch with Shakespeare by producing extensive education and outreach work. It strives to engage more people with the Bard's work and live theatre. The RSC performs throughout the year in Stratford-upon-Avon, in London and throughout the United Kingdom www.rsc.org.uk
London celebrations for the Bard's 450th birthday party
London has also planned a number of events to mark the milestone.
Shakespeare's Globe
21 New Globe Walk, Bankside, SE1 9DT
There are new productions of Antony and Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and The Comedy of Errors. A world tour (Hamlet Globe to Globe) will begin at Shakespeare's Globe this week and tour the world over a two-year period.
A new indoor theatre will open at the Globe named after its visionary founder – the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. The candlelit venue's first performance is the The Duchess of Malfi.
Open all year round, the Globe Exhibition & Tour gives visitors an opportunity to learn more about the unique building and its most famous playwright.
Based under the Globe Theatre, the informative Exhibition explores the life of Shakespeare, the London where he lived and the theatre for which he wrote.
Middle Temple Hall
Middle Temple Lane, EC4Y 9AT
The first performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is said to have taken place in the Hall in 1602 with Queen Elizabeth I in attendance.
Middle Temple Hall remains virtually unaltered since completion in the 1570s and is one of the finest Elizabethan halls in the country.
V&A, Shakespeare: Our Greatest Living Playwright
Cromwell Road, SW7 2RL
This immersive installation examines the enduring influence and popularity of the world's most famous poet.
Drawing together objects from the V&A collection and interviews with key contemporary practitioners, Shakespeare: Our Greatest Living Play-wright (February 8 – September 28, 2014) examines how Shakespeare's plays have travelled across centuries and continents to be used as a springboard for theatrical reimaginings and interpretation.
London Walks, Shakespeare's & Dickens's London – The Old City
Meeting point: outside St. Paul's Underground station
London Walks takes Shakespeare and Dickens fans back in time visiting half-timbered Elizabethan dwellings and the magnificent early 16th-century gatehouse where the Bard went with his plays to the offices of the Elizabethan Master of the Revels.
For two hours explore the world of Shakespeare and Dickens. Tours run every Wednesday, 11am and Sunday, 2pm.
The Rose Theatre
56 Park Street, SE1 9AS
When it was erected in 1587, the Rose was only the fifth purpose-built theatre in London, and the first on Bankside - an area already rich in other leisure attractions such as brothels, gaming dens and bear-baiting arenas.
Shakespeare's plays performed at the theatre included Henry VI, Part I and Titus Andronicus.
Once The Globe was built, the Rose disappeared into history in 1603. In 1989 the archaeological site of the Rose was discovered and since then a long campaign to rebuild the theatre has been under way.
Theatregoers can visit the Rose every Saturday
