With summer comes the real work of children: play. The simple act of playing, whether an organized game or spur-of-the-moment frolic, sets free in chi...
Read Whole Story
Think of it; none of these characteristics are present in our standard schools. In our standard schools we deprive children of the conditions they need to educate themselves, and then we try to teach them something.
Taking creativity seriously, appreciating how it can drive innovation is something to which we all need to give more thought. It's why play, not policy, just might be the long-term solution to igniting a stalled global economy.
It turns out roughhousing is socially, cognitively, and physically essential for children. It incorporates fantasy and physicality, and as play, it helps children acquire cognitive flexibility.
How did it come to be that we don't let children be children? They must be allowed to get dirty and learn to take risks and negotiate social relationships that might be complicated, unexpected, or unpredictable.
Play is not an incidental activity: it is seminal in the lives of children and the health of communities. Darell Hammond is a modern-day Johnny Appleseed out to plant the seeds of play within reach of every child in America.
Don't forget the main reason children should have plenty of playtime: it's fun! You should do everything you can to allow your children to play with their friends spontaneously and freely as often as possible.

Health mistakes we make every day
According to Men's Health, here are some very, very common health mistakes you probably make every day:
- Touching your face – People touch their faces an average of four times per hour, which rubs nasty bacteria into the pores of the skin.
- Sitting – Sitting too much increases your risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and death.
- Snacking at your desk – People who eat meals or snacks while distracted consume more calories.
- Being surrounded by clutter – People with tidy workspaces are more likely to eat healthy food.
- Holding in your pee – Occasionally holding it in is OK, but if it's a habit, it can cause urinary tract and bladder infections.

Part 2
Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves Waited for rain, while the black clouds Gathered far distant, over Himavant. The jungle crouched, humped in silence. Then spoke the thunder DA
–T.S. Eliot, from The Waste Land
In the Brihadaranyaka from the Upanishads, the syllable DA, uttered by Brahma, is a profound lesson to gods, human beings, and demons. In The Waste Land the syllable is spoken into an arid land and finds no immediate acceptance. The syllable is a repetition, perhaps even an evasion, and it returns the reader to earlier themes, apprehensions, and myths. The word leads to multiple meanings, multiply fragmented.
We might say, however, that something does shift; the figure who sits on the shore fishing does so with the arid plains behind him, not ahead of him.
I sat upon the shore Fishing, with the arid plain behind me Shall I at least set my lands in order?
Still, the poem does not rest here. It continues through three more quotations and fragments to result in reverberating
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata. Shantih shantih shantih
The poem gestures to a state of mind that may well be a place beyond explanation. What does shantih, peace become when one is so close to war, or when one is always at war?
A variation of this question arose for me when Lauren Shufran read her work at UCSC last Thursday. I was struck by the metrical detours and the work of repetition and rhythm in the poems. They insist the listener participate in the presentation of the measured surplus (of war and form), the erasure of citizens, and the excess of conflations. In an interview with Taylor Brady, Lauren Shufran explains one of the ideas she is grappling with, "how the military hazing ritual performs its own conflations – but in a turn from fields of representation to fields of action."
Because my shtick which is my sitting duckness is prohibitive of motion I've resorted to inaction as a praxis. Like don't think 'cause I'm a duck I have to ingest all your rhetoric. Plus the trauma of that holiday get pretty reassertive like this lumpen in my throat when I see stuffing. If swallowing is tolerance I'll ruminate instead and so become a vulgar poet with these remnants of dysphagia and refusal. But asking a text to speak to what I don't speak's pretty stressful––as if it's not enough to look like a duck quack like a duck be in a cage like a duck and because of being a duck on a whole to be generally fed through pipes…
– Lauren Shufran "I Was a Duck; My Shtick was Just to Sit Here" from Inter Arma.
The listener has to keep up with the beat. The listener is a participant. "The stutter of repetition is both insistence and fade. What we see disappears only to reappear again, slightly—or more than slightly—unrecognizable," writes Jen Hofer. I think about the "stutter of repetition." I return to the same concerns in my work: memory, exile, re-presentation. There is something devastating and something instructive in repetition. You will tell this story because I cannot. I repeat the stories to myself – my mother's story and her mother's story. They insisted I hear the many versions to the same stories, and because they are all gone now, I hear the echo of the story in many versions.
Repetition is also a kind of knowing, Shufran reminds.

In a brief post over on their Facebook Page, Madman have unfortunately announced that our most anticipated movie of the year, Evangelion 3.33 is being delayed for release here in Australia. Going through the Facebook comment section, it can be gleaned that the reason for this delay is that US source that Madman will be getting the film from is having trouble keeping up with things.
Below is the quote of that post.
Dear Fans,
We wish to advise that Evangelion 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo's upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray release originally slated for March 19th, will be delayed until further notice. We will advise of a new release date once we are able to.
We sincerely apologies for any inconveniences this may cause and hope you look forward to the release in the near future.
Love Madman.
Do you really love us Madman? Do you really? 😛

The list of Top 500 fastest computers in the world just came out and the Japanese K-computer is the fastest and the most energy-efficient computer at the same time. It is hard to build computers that are both fast and energy-efficient so I set out to understand what Fujitsu has done right. This quick post is a summary of my investigation. For the very impatient, my crude experience-based analysis says that the special purpose instructions and highly specialized functional units in the core give them their edge.

Think You're Hot? A New Study Shows You're Probably Very Wrong
Anyone who's ever been in a bar has probably seen it: the cheesiest guy in the place approaches the hottest girl and simply can't believe it when he's shot down. He may be clueless, but a new study says his audacity might not be a character flaw. In fact, it may just be simple human evolution at work.
Barbara Walters Chooses Steve Jobs as Her 'Most Fascinating Person' of 2011 [VIDEO]
Barbara Walters has named her Most Fascinating Person of 2011: Steve Jobs.
While her policy has always been to choose only living people for the annual roundup, Walters said that when Jobs retired as CEO of Apple last summer, she knew he'd be her pick to top the list. And even after his death on October 5, Walters stuck to her choice because, much like Jobs believed, "rules were made to be broken."

Online Courses for Elementary and High School Students?
In an effort to accommodate students with varying levels of advancement and in reaction to state budgetary cuts, at least 30 states in the US now let elementary and high school students take all their courses online.
According to Evergreen Education Group, a consulting firm that works with online schools, an estimated 250,000 students nationwide are enrolled in full-time virtual schools, a 40 percent increase in the last three years. And the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, a trade group, says two million kids take at least one class online.

BTW, if y'all need a designated driver next year at anything during the NRA convention days, I'm yer bunny.
OOOH....was Miller Lite, until we got Yuengling here in WV, now it is Yuengling most of the time or the occasional Bud Select. If I am really splurging it is Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. For Hard stuff, which is very rare...It is Knob Creek Bourbon, and a cigar or a Royal flush or a vodka and fruit juice du jour.
I don't drink very often, but I enjoy a glass of Chimay and a Cohiba.
For Beer : Bud, Miller, Coors etc.
Wine : Moscato, Zinfandel, Reisling. Couple of wineries one local, Kirkwood with sweet Blueberry, Blackberry, Raspberry or Currant.....they are fantastic. A NC winery called Duplin that has some great sweet ones.
Hard stuff :Vodka & Orange Juice that's about all.
I only drink moderately. I keep a case of it in the car. :image035:
Mostly Miller High Life, sometimes when it's hot out a Bud light lime with the lady. Can't afford to drink much though ;)
Drinking is very rare for me. When I do drink it's almost never more than one drink. Usually its a Coke or some such soda for me. I'm a total soda junkie.
I'm not really a beer fan but I like Newcastle. I like liquor more than beer and usually it's as mixed drinks like mojitos and margaritas.
Caffeine, Nicotine, Grease and Alcohol.
As he stood there, stunned, everyone else chimed in that was pretty much THEIR list, too. I suspect I fell off his Christmas Card list at that moment...
Captain Morgans Spiced Rum and or Captain Morgans Tattoo, there is no other drink. Well maybe an LIT every once in a while...
What ever beer my friends might be drinking. I don't drink more than 1 or 2 beers a year. My wife enjoys drinking with her friends so I drive her around.

Our first trip to Australia was blessed with finding this accommodation with Craig in his beautiful arty home in Melbourne.The warmth of Craig's welcome, the kind hospitality and relaxed regime all added to a memorable experience. The location was perfect for ease of travel around the City by tram. We would definitely use Wimdu again and if we are able to visit Melbourne again we'll definitely be booking a return stay with Craig if available.
Craigs house is very special and beatiful! The bedroom was big with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was also very clean. In the garden you can observe colorful parrots. Craig was the best Host ever. We enjoyed the stay and will defenetely stay there again.
We were lucky that we found this really great place to stay in Melbourne with Craig as such a nice host. The beautiful house is located very central close to CBD. We really felt like home, could use the nice terrace and had a very comfotable room with an own shower/toilet. I just can recommend everybody to stay at Craig's place as he also gives you all neccessary information about the city.
Thanks Craig, you'll hear from me when I'll be back in Melbourne once:)
A more welcoming and generous host I cannot imagine. Craig not only invites you to share his beautiful home, he also shares of himself and his friends so warmly you sincerely feel a member of the 'family'. My first trip to Melbourne was made all that more memorable by getting to know Craig and Graeme. Sincere thanks.
The best place I ever stayed in my life.
The owner is the most friendly person I ever met.
I strongly recommend this place.
The wimdu service works very good
Melbourne was the first stop on vacation from Greece and only possitive comments we have to do for the 'Art Home' !! The house is very beautiful and convenient, the bedroom was large and comfortable,very clean and also very private,no noise at all, with our own bathroom immediately next door. Great location as you can walk to all the major attractions around...We had also an excellent stay because of lovely hosts,Graig and Graeme, two of the most courteus people that we ever met !! We absolutely can recommend this place for anyone.Thanks!!! Stelios & Sotiria.
I just can't use word to describe the beauty of this house, generous hosts and wonderful music. I would like to recommend this fantastic place to all of you, since this place is one of the best. Thank you Craig and Graeme!
I have had the honor of staying as a guest in Craigs house. Yes, that is how it feels after spending almost two weeks in Carlton. Craig were of great help in finding out how to have a very pleasant stay in Melbourne. The house is very beautiful, comfortable and convenient. The athmosphere is incredibly friendly,safe and inclusive. I absolutely can recommend this place for anyone.

BEBE POSH Princess Kiss Lipstick – Babycakes #06
Brand: Bebe Posh
Range: Princess Kiss Lipstick
Shade: Baby Cakes #06
Swatched by yours truly: akisa
- Bebe Posh is a Taiwanese cosmetics brand founded in 2010 through a collaboration between Taiwanese socialites and a celebrity makeup artist.
- Formulated with lavender essence (soothing), Vitamin E (hydrating, nourishing), and natural beeswax (which should actually be avoided if you are prone to cracked lips )
- Available in 8 shades, Babycakes is a baby pink with a sheer frost finish.
- Verdict: The cute jewel packaging, sheer texture and frosty finish makes this suited to younger lips. Whilst it glides well over lip balm, I wouldn't describe it as a smoothing or moisturising. Try it if love frosty pink lips and you don't have a problem with dry lips, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.
This is actually my second time swatching this, so I know for certain that the smooth texture is due to the generous layer of Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm. The lipstick itself isn't smoothing, but it does glide well over lip balm well, coating lips with a sheer pink frost.
RRP: 380 Taiwanese Dollars (approx $13 AUD)
I purchased this product from imomoko.com. Also available at sasa.com

Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Pat Shortridge says the party has reached an agreement regarding its lease.
"We have reached a confidential agreement with our landlord, HUB Properties, that will allow us to fulfill our obligations to them," Shortridge said in a statement. "HUB will request a continuance of tomorrow's hearing and we expect to have a final agreement in place within a week."
Boston-based Hub Properties filed an eviction notice in Ramsey County District Court earlier this month because the party owes them $96,000 in rent.
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. on May 1.
Late last year, the party disclosed that it was nearly $2 million in debt.

NOTE: For the latest version of cTAKES, see Apache cTAKES (incubating) and follow the install instructions there.
These instructions are for end users for cTAKES 2.5. With these instructions you can install cTAKES 2.5, configure it, and use it to process text (typically text associated with a medical record). If you were planning to expand, change, or modify the code within cTAKES, refer to the cTAKES 2.5 Developer Install Instructions.
These instructions will cover installation and a test of the main product including trained models for sentence detection and tagging parts of speech, dictionaries from a subset of the UMLS, a very small subset of the full LVG resource, etc. Optional components will also be described.
Once you have finished installation of cTAKES, you will be able to see what cTAKES is capable of. Further exploitation of the software's ability may require following a few additional steps involving what dictionaries are being used. These are the last steps in these instructions.
1. Make sure you have Java 1.6 or higher. Most systems come with Java already installed.
java -version
If you do not you can install Java from java.com.
C:\>java -version java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Install cTAKES
1. Navigate to the source downloads for a released version on SourceForge
NOTE: For the latest version of cTAKES, see Apache cTAKES (incubating) and follow the install instructions there.
2. Download the cTAKES-2.5.zip file.
3. Unzip (extract the contents of) the compressed file you downloaded into a directory that you want to be the cTAKES install location.
Process documents using cTAKES
This version allows you to test most components bundled in cTAKES in two different ways:
- Using cTAKES CAS Visual Debugger (CVD) to view the results stored as XCAS files or run the annotators or
- Using cTAKES collection processing engine (CPE) to process documents in cTAKES_HOME/testdata directory
CAS Visual Debugger (CVD)
1. Open a command prompt and change to the cTAKES_HOME directory.
cd \cTAKES-2.5
cd /usr/bin/cTAKES-2.5
cTAKES_HOME must be your current directory unless you are skilled at setting paths on your machine.
2. Start the CAS Visual Debugger by running this command:
3. An analysis engine (AE) needs to be loaded in order to process text.
Click Open.
4. Copy the text in the example at the right (next cell) and paste the contents into the Text section of CVD, replacing the text that is already there.
Dr. Nutritious
3. From the menu bar, click Run -> Run AggregatePlaintextProcessor.
4. Named entities are now recognized in this clinical document. Annotations of MedicationEventMention and EntityMention are created. To find one, in the Analysis Results frame, click on the key in front of:
Collection processing engine (CPE)
1. Open a command prompt and change to the cTAKES_HOME directory:
cd C:\cTAKES2.5
cd /usr/bin/cTAKES2.5
Note that cTAKES_HOME must be your current directory unless you are skilled at setting paths on your machine.
2. Start the collection processing engine by running this command:
3. This will bring up the Collection Processing Engine Configurator. In the Menu bar click File > Open CPE Descriptor
4. Navigate to the file
Click Open.
5. Click the Play button (green/blue play arrow near the bottom).
6. You should see that one document was processed. You did process a collection of documents. In this case the collection only contained one just to show how to do it. Close the results window.
7. Close the CPE application. You may be prompted to save changes. Since this was just a test you may click the No button.
8. Open a new command prompt and change to the <cTAKES_HOME>
No example.
9. To test the results there is a comparison tool that will help show that the results match expectations with the following syntax:
java -cp cTAKES.jar edu.mayo.bmi.utils.xcas_comparison.Compare <First File> <Second File> <diff-html>
Where: <First File> is the first file to compare; <Second File> is the second file to compare; <diff-html> is where the results are written to
java -cp cTAKES.jar edu.mayo.bmi.utils.xcas_comparison.Compare ^ "testdata\cdptest\testoutput\plaintext\sample_note_plaintext.xml" ^ "testdata\cdptest\testsampleoutput\plaintext\sample_note_plaintext.xml" ^ c:\stuff\diff-html.html
java edu.mayo.bmi.utils.xcas_comparison.Compare \ "/usr/bin/cTAKES2.5/testdata/cdptest/testoutput/plaintext\sample_note_plaintext.xml" \ "/usr/bin/cTAKES2.5/testdata/cdptest/testsampleoutput/plaintext/sample_note_plaintext.xml" \ /tmp/diff-html.html
10. The resulting file will open for you. Look at the comparison to see the annotations resulting from this pipeline.
Using the same CVD and CPE programs in the manner described above, you can test all the other components. The analysis engines and collection processing engines shipped with cTAKES for some of the annotators are described in the following table.
Example Analysis Engine (AE)
Example Collection processing Engine (CPE)
Example test data
Clinical Document Pipeline
the complete cTAKES pipeline to obtain majority of cTAKES annotations
obtain cTAKES chunking annotations
Dependency Parser
obtain dependency parsing tree
Drug NER
the annotator to obtain drug annotations
Dictionary Lookup
mapping cTAKES annotations to dictionaries (e.g., SNOMED_CT or RxNorm
PAD Term Spotter
identifying terms related to PAD
Smoking Status
the annotator to obtain document or patient-level smoking status
Side Effect
the annotator to find side effect mentions and sentences from clinical documents
Next Steps
The cTAKES 2.5 Component Use Guide will help you to understand in great detail each of the cTAKES components that have been installed. In some cases you can learn how to improve the components. However, before you go on to process text in production you will need to consider dictionaries and models.
Bundled UMLS Dictionaries
cTAKES includes the complete UMLS (SNOMED-CT and RxNorm) dictionaries.
- An rxnorm_index database (a Lucene index) containing drug names from RxNorm
- A UMLS database (using two hsqldb tables) containing anatomical sites, procedures, signs/symptoms, and disorders/diseases from SNOMED-CT (umls_ms_2011ab)
To use them, you must have a UMLS username and password, and an Internet connection.
If you do not have a UMLS username and password, you may request one at UMLS Terminology Services
In order to use the UMLS dictionaries shipped with cTAKES you will need to do two things:
(1) Change the UMLSUser and UMLSPW <nameValuePair> strings in these descriptor files with your UMLS username and password.
- Dictionary Lookup: <cTAKES_HOME>/cTAKESdesc/lookupdesc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml
- (optional) Drug NER: <cTAKES_HOME>/cTAKESdesc/drugnerdesc/analysis_engine/DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml
The following shows where in the files you would make the changes. (Do not change the <configurationParameters> by the same name.)
<nameValuePair> <name>UMLSUser</name> <value> <string>YOUR_UMLS_USERNAME_HERE</string> </value> </nameValuePair> <nameValuePair> <name>UMLSPW</name> <value> <string>YOUR_UMLS_PASSWORD_HERE</string> </value> </nameValuePair>
(2) Include the DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml Analysis Engine within your aggregate Analysis Engine or switch to the ones provided by cTAKES. cTAKES has provided duplicates of shipped Analysis Engine descriptors, put UMLS in the name, and placed DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml within them for these components:
- Dictionary Lookup
- Clinical Documents pipeline

So you simply need to switch to using those descriptors. For example, if you were using AggregateCdaProcessor.xml in the Clinical Documents pipeline you would switch to using AggregateCdaUMLSProcessor.xml instead and you will now hook into the complete dictionaries.
You can, of course, modify your own aggregate Analysis Engine files and place the DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml Analysis Engine within them.
Since this is an in-memory database implementation, please be patient during the initial load as it could take approximately 20-30 seconds for the database to initialize.
If you would like to go back to using the small sample dictionaries that do not require a UMLS username, use the DictionaryLookupAnnotator.xml (UMLS is not in the file name) Analyis Engine descriptor in your aggregate. Just removing your password from the DictionaryLookupAnnotatorUMLS.xml files will not switch you back to the small sample dictionaries.
We have successfully tested the 2008 release of the full LVG data. In order to use this release of the full LVG data you should:
- Download either the full version or the lite version from NIH Lexical Tools
- Extract the TGZ file that you downloaded with a tool like 7-zip (available online) to a temporary directory. On some operating systems, like Windows, this may need to be done in two steps, 1) to uncompress and 2) to unzip.
- Replace the directory <cTAKES_HOME>/resources/lvgresources/lvg/data/HSqlDb with data/HSqlDb from your extracted download. Replacing the entire directory is appropriate.
- In the future, you can upgrade to later versions of LVG by editing the <cTAKES_HOME>/resources/lvgresources/lvg/data/config/lvg.properties file, replacing "lvg2008" with the name of the new release.

Otters stay alive with Game Four victory
The Erie Otters keep their championship hopes alive as they take game four of the Western Conference Final 5-2 over the Guelph Storm to force a fifth game at the Sleeman Centre Friday night in Guelph.
The Erie Otters saw their top line of Connor Brown, Connor McDavid, and Dane Fox come back to life Tuesday night, as they trio accounted for three goals and registered seven points. Devin Williams found his former self stopping 26 shots, including a few beauties, on the way to his ninth win this postseason.
The Guelph Storm picked up where they left off the previous night, scoring the opening goal just 1:15 into the contest. Zack Mitchell finished off a Kerby Rychel centering feed to give Guelph the 1-0 lead. Erie responded quickly and with authority. Dylan Strome ripped home his third of the playoffs to tie the game. Then Connor Brown gave the Otters the lead after he finished off a Connor McDavid pass. The Otters took a lead for the first time since the 2:48 mark of the third period in game one of the series. Joel Wigle notched his second of the playoffs extending the Erie lead to two and chasing Storm goalie Justin Nichols from the net for backup Matthew Mancina. Kerby Rychel brought Guelph within one just 37 seconds later on a tap in set up by Robby Fabbri. But Dane Fox would reestablish the Otters two goal lead with his first goal in five games, sending the Otters to the first intermission with a 4-2 lead.
The Erie Otters had their goaltending back as Devin Williams found his groove again. Williams made several key big time stops in the second period, none better than his robbery of Kerby Rychel. Williams made an initial save on shot from the far circle, the rebound trickled to his left right to the tape of an open Rychel. Williams, already in the splits, brought the glove hand across to stop Rychel on the door step and preserve the Otters 4-2 lead.
In the third the Otters continued to wear away their opponent. Erie fired off 44 shots at Guelph net minders, including 12 in the third period. Williams was stellar throughout the final frame stopping 12 shots of his own. Guelph, with time running down, emptied their net for the extra attacker with close to two minutes remaining. Erie, after a string of defensive zone face-offs, finally caught there break when Fox handed off to Brown as he sealed the deal with empty net goal as the Otters went on to win 5-2.
The Otters forced a game five for just the second time in franchise history when trailing three games to none. The teams will return to Guelph Friday night for game five at the Sleeman Centre at 7:30 p.m.

An Intern's Take
It took a week of deep thought and soul searching but our President finally weighed in on the Trayvon Martin verdict. I sat and listened to Mr. Obama defend the system that rendered the decision and then give a back drop to lend some perspective from the African American experience. If you don't live under a rock or like me are without phone, cable or internet service you have been inundated with television personalities bashing the president for speaking out on issues that have been swept under the rug far too long.
I always like to bring things full circle to help paint a clear picture without letting my emotions take the driver's seat. People in their 60's are well aware of the history of this nation. Some have attended segregated schools, lived in segregated communities or, in the case of my father, had a cross burned on his front lawn. You don't have to go back that far to understand almost 50 years ago a young African American man was literally beaten to death for whistling at a white woman. His name was Emmett Till.
President Obama took this opportunity to shed light on some of America's dirty little secrets. During the 60's when people were having water hoses turned on them and having dogs attack them and they were being beaten police the world didn't know until television sent the pictures around the world.. It wasn't until then that the international community become aware of the plight of African-Americans.
We fast forward to 2013. It's reported that there were more than a hundred demonstrations across the country this past weekend in support of the Martin family and against the one sided justice that was rendered in that Florida court room.
As I pointed out to a follower of my column, we will never know what really took place on that afternoon in 2011, but even if there was an assault, it did not warrant the death penalty. So to get back to the point and return the premise, there has been a concerted effort in this country to downplay race. You constantly hear that we live in a post-racial society, and that race is no longer the determining factor when decisions are being made.
One of my favorite movies is A TIME TO KILL. If you are not familiar check it out. In this story a young black girl is beaten, raped, and left for dead. To make a long story short, her father kills one of the men and ends up on trial for murder. As the case comes to a close, it's left to the closing arguments where the prosecution lays out the evidence and gives it over to the defense. The lawyer for the defense tells the jury to close their eyes, as he retells the story, not leaving out any details, and then shocks the jury asking them to imagine if the little girl was white.
So I ask does the outcome of the trial change if Mr. Zimmerman kills an unarmed white youth? They say art imitates life but that was a movie. So what do you think? Are we living in a post racial society, or is a man still judged by the color of his skin.

Problem with Mac Outlook/Exchange account
At the company where I work, there are only two Macs: I have one, as does a senior executive. Yesterday, I was asked to help out the senior exec, who was having trouble with his email. He's running Office: Mac 2011 and Outlook, just as I am. (Both of us are running Mountain Lion, and all software updates are installed on both machines.) His problem is that Outlook keeps freezing up when trying to sync to the Exchange server.
I added his account to my own Outlook on my Mac, and sure enough, Outlook froze up on my Mac, too, when trying to sync his account to the server. I also have a Dell running Win 7. When adding his account to Outlook on it, the Windows machine was able to sync the account. However, after adding the account I noticed the Dell was running the fan much more than ever before, to the point where I could hear it really start to whine then back down at regular intervals. Bear in mind that Outlook was the only app running on the Dell. (I deleted his account from it today, and sure enough, the fan noise is gone.)
So…it's a day later and neither myself, the senior exec, or others in my IT department have been able to figure this out. We think it has something to do with his calendar, maybe a corrupted file attachment. Anyone have any ideas?
mrmwebmax (formerly mrmgraphics)
Max out your site! mrmwebmax.com
I'd start by asking the IT department to check the Exchange server sync logs. They should pinpoint what's causing the hangup. On your Mac, does the Console log show any pertinent errors? It might at least give you a clue if it's an email or calendar issue.

This is a really funny book about a mouse called Paul, and a Christmas tree angel called Sandra and a thing called Tinby.
Paul and Sandra go to a mouse restaurant which they get to by going through a human restaurant to have lunch. The Tinby wants to know what humans eat in the restaurant so he goes there, and climbs upon to the table and he sees the human ordering mouse noses on toast!!. Sandra and Paul try to rescue the Tinby but things go horribly wrong.
My favourite part was when Paul and Sandra go to where the mouses on toast is made and they find out exactly how it is done!
This is a hilarious book because, for one, Paul is allergic to cheese (he is a mouse!) and when he even touches cheese, his bottom goes blue, his hair falls off and his tail turns into a question mark!
I would recommend this book for 8+

TRYON, N.C. -- White Oak Plantation has added Lorcan Morris to its stable of touring professionals for 2009.
Morris will represent White Oak Plantation along with PGA Tour star Padraig Harrington and Champions Tour veteran Des Smyth.
Morris, 27, is a third-year pro who won seven times last year on various mini tours. The White Oak sponsorship allows the former Wingate University star to play the Tarheel Tour full-time in 2009, with additional appearances on the Hooters Tour and Carolinas Pro Golf Tour.
"I've worked hard on my game the past two years and this is the chance of a lifetime," said Morris. "I finally have an opportunity to pursue my dream of playing the PGA Tour."
One could say that Morris' good fortune was partially the luck of the Irish. White Oak Plantation, which is Irish owned, learned about Morris via an article about the Dublin native in the Irish Independent newspaper.
"Seeing as he was an Irish kid, we thought it would be remiss to know about him and not help him out," said Patrick Kinsella, senior architect at White Oak. "Perseverance is a quality in all great efforts, and Lorcan is certainly determined to see how well he can do in golf. We think he will be a terrific ambassador for White Oak in the Carolinas."
Morris will move from Charlotte to the Tryon area in January to practice and work on his game at White Oak Plantation. White Oak is an Arnold Palmer design that opened nine holes last fall. The full course is expected to be open by late 2009.
"I'm really excited to be involved in something that guys from back home are involved in and Padraig Harrington is involved in," Morris said. "And the part that I'm most happy about is being able to provide for my family and my daughter's future."
In addition to wearing White Oak apparel and carrying a White Oak bag, Morris will represent the club at corporate functions and during business golf outings.
"There's a major Irish theme at White Oak. It's like you traveled through a time warp and went to Ireland," Morris said. "The golf course is unbelievable - one of the best I've played."
The sponsorship agreement is for one year, with the option for future years.
"It gives him the chance that he's always wanted and we'll see where it goes after the end of the year," Kinsella said. "He's a nice fellow and has all the things going for him for somebody who wants to make a serious effort at playing golf for a living."

Water Soluble Fertilizers (Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphate and Others) Market For Fertigation and Foliar Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
Growing demand from fertigation application supported by increasing adoption of micro irrigation systems is expected to fuel the global demand for water soluble fertilizers. Additionally increasing demand for better yield owing to rising world population, decreasing arable land, and high demand of biofuels is expected to further fuel the demand for water soluble fertilizers.

Amazing Wine Cork Portraits by Scott Gundersen2012-08-17 1 13 Share Tweet
Ever wonder where do the corks go after they've been popped off the wine bottle? Well, some of them might have ended up in one of Scott Gundersen's masterpieces! Have a look!
Using a technique reminiscent of Pointillism, this Michigan-based artist starts off each piece by making an underdrawing of the portrait in the canvas. He then sorts out through the hundreds of wine-stained corks he has in his disposal for the pieces that could be used as a pixel for the lights and shadows of the portrait, depending on the intensity of the stain.
And after that, he painstakingly pins them one by one until it is complete.
"Trisha" measures 46 in X 56 in (roughly 3.8 ft x 4.7 ft) and is made out of 3,621 used/recycled wine corks.
While an older work, "Grace", measures 96 in x 66 in (8 ft x 5.5 ft) and is made of 9,217 used/recycled wine corks.
Now that's what I call dedication! Personally, I don't think I'll be able to pull this off anytime soon! How about you guys? What do you think?

32-year-old Matthew Davis of Houlton
49-year-old Heidi Pratt and 51-year-old Michael Kitchen
The medical examiner's office has positively identified the second body found in a burned out home in Oakfield Monday as that of 49-year-old Heidi Pratt.
32-year-old Matthew Davis of Houlton is charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths.
The medical examiner says Pratt died from a gunshot wound to the neck.
51-year-old Michael Kitchen died from multiple gunshots wounds.
Police say Davis first crashed his truck into a building at Katahdin Forest Products Monday morning and stole a truck from the company. They say he then drove to the couple's house in Oakfield, killed them, then set their house and a pick-up on fire.
Davis then reportedly stole a truck from their garage, drove it to Island Falls, set that on fire and got into a kayak.
According to police, Davis took the kayak across the lake and stole another car.
Police arrested him Monday morning on Beaver Dam Point Road.
Police don't know if Davis knew the victims.
They reportedly found a wallet with a picture of Michael Kitchen in it, in the area where they arrested Davis.
They also found two firearms that belong to Davis – one was on a victim's chest, the other in a burning truck.
Davis remains in jail, with no bail.
He's scheduled to be back in court in February.

Innovation Triangle Initiative (ITI)
The aim of the Innovation Triangle Initiative (ITI) is to foster the introduction of breakthrough innovations and technologies in the space environment. Its specific goal is to explore technologies or services for space applications that are not currently being used or exploited in the context of space and have therefore the potential of being the seed for significant innovation.
Through ITI, those innovative technologies can be quickly validated, developed and put to use, thus contributing, in the longer term, to a more competitive European space industry.
ITI is based on the 'Innovation Triangle' concept stating that a rapid and successful introduction of disruptive innovations in industry requires the collaboration of three different entities: a customer, a developer and an inventor.
ITI supports new ideas or concepts, giving preference to innovations coming originally from non-space industrial or research sectors. The submitters of these ideas or concepts are supported by ITI with seed-money, technical support and networking contacts aiming at combining the creativity, know-how and experience of the research community, space customers and industry.
In this context, ITI can provide:
- Seed-Money, 50k€, 150k€ or higher, depending on the type of activity.
- Technical Support: Submitters can contact ESA experts to discuss proposal concepts and verify their relevance and applicability to space. Submitters with a limited experience in developing technologies for space are also encouraged to download and read the following Space Specifications Checklist document. Submitters not familiar with current needs of the European Space Industry can browse the European Space Technology Requirements (ESTER) database.
- Networking: Building the 'Innovation Triangle' through the links provided, submitters have the opportunity of finding potential partners thus facilitating the validation, development and utilization of innovative ideas.
The initiative gives industry the opportunity to submit unsolicited and innovative research and development proposals throughout the year, and if approved, to rapidly receive the necessary funding.
Three types of contracts are envisaged in ITI, depending on the level of technological maturity, each one focused on one element of the "Innovation Triangle":
- Proof of concept (for inventors): fast validation of new ideas and demonstration of its advantages.
- Demonstration of feasibility and use (for developers): component and/or breadboard development up to validation in laboratory
- Technology adoption (for customers): support for the technology to be adopted by a European Space company with the final objective of including the developed technology in their services, products or processes.
Companies, universities and research organisations belonging to ESA Member States are invited to submit innovative proposals for these type of activities concerning any technical domain relevant to space applications. Please refer also to the following four ITI documents - the Tender Cover Letter, the general Statement of Work, the specific ITI Tender Conditions and the Draft Contract.
The ITI process is based on a continuous call for ideas with a standing Evaluation Board, to ensure that funding for a proposal is authorised within a few weeks.
Confidentiality: All information submitted in the ITI proposals, will be treated as strictly confidential!
ITI is managed through a dedicated web application – http://iti.esa.int/

The Windows Phone manufacturer will be using a Qualcomm reference design and select a camera, LCD display, memory, sensors, and a touch controller. This surely should end the talk about Microsoft eventually keeping all Windows Phone production to itself after the deal to buy Nokia's Devices and Services division closes.
This also might allow Windows Phone to fight in the trenches in emerging markets against low-priced Android models. Yes, the Nokia Lumia 520 did very well in those markets, but in China, a quad-core powered Android model can be bought for the equivalent of $130 USD. Perhaps smaller manufacturers overseas will use the portal to bring similar Windows Phone models to those regions.

|Don Cherry on M&M: 'You're going to see a different Toronto Maple Leafs' in Game 4
|05.07.13 at 12:21 pm ET
Legendary Hockey Night in Canada commentator and former Bruins coach Don Cherry joined Mut & Merloni on Tuesday morning to talk about the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Bruins took a 2-1 lead on the Maple Leafs in their first-round series with a 5-2 victory in Toronto on Monday night, but Cherry said now that the Leafs have gotten past the first home game, they should be more comfortable.
"I think for the first half of the game they had the jitters," Cherry said. "You couldn't believe the crowd outside. There was about 10,000 people with a monstrous [TV] screen in a square here. It was unbelievable. This is the first time they've been in the playoffs in nine years. And what I think happened was they were very, very nervous. The kids were very, very nervous the first half of the game, anyhow. Then they said, Hey, what the heck, we've got to turn it on. And they did. So, I said the opening game [that] last night you're going to see a different Bruins. I'm going to predict you're going to see a different Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night."
Tyler Seguin has no points in the Bruins' three playoff games, but Cherry predicts the young forward will break through at some point.
"Maybe he's just a little frustrated right now, but he's going to come through," Cherry said.
Cherry, no stranger to controversy, recently came under fire when he offered support for Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith after Keith made a condescending comment to a female reporter. Cherry, who is credited with being the first NHL coach to allow a female reporter in the locker room (while coaching the Bruins in 1975), explained his view.
Said Cherry: "It's not that I don't think they're qualified, it's not that I think they shouldn't do the interviews. I just don't think they should be subject to some of the guys, the way they act. The guys take advantage of it. That's what I meant. Again, it was taken all out of context."
Cherry also touched on his relationship with former Bruins general manager and president Harry Sinden. The two had a falling out after Cherry was not retained as B's coach in 1979, but Cherry said they're finally back on speaking terms.
"Harry and I have [made up]," Cherry said. "We've been awful enemies for some reason. I don't know what happened — something. But in the last hurrah, Harry and I shook hands. It was me that started the whole thing, I think. I was a little vindictive, because I didn't want to leave the Bruins and all that sort of stuff. But Harry and I have made up, and good for it, because life's too short to go through with arguments all the time."

|Why Claude Julien is a perfect fit for the Bruins
|07.24.12 at 3:49 pm ET
There are plenty of reasons Peter Chiarelli and Bruins management decided to extend the contract of Claude Julien this week.
First of all, his contract was expired after last season.
Secondly, no one else since Harry Sinden has been behind the bench as the Bruins won the Stanley Cup.
And thirdly, no one is more respected for his ability to blend character, discipline and humor the way Julien has since taking over for Dave Lewis after the 2006-07 season.
There's another much more subtle reason to keep Julien behind the bench for the Black and Gold – stability. Should the Bruins and the rest of the NHL not figure out their pending labor issues by the Sept. 15 deadline, the season could easily be shortened, and like the NFL and NBA in 2011, teams may have to wing it to get their teams ready for competition.
No one knows more what he wants or expects from the Bruins than Julien.
"The one thing you try to do as a coach is keep things fresh," Julien said at his contract extension press conference at TD Garden Tuesday. "Every year you try to attack certain areas that will maybe change just a little bit that will give guys a fresher look. That's how you keep your team interested, intact and hopefully competitive."
To Chiarelli, what he sees is a coach over five years that hasn't just won a Stanley Cup, he's instilled just the right amount of discipline, walking that fine line between motivation and expectation from his players.
"Leadership in a coach manifests itself different ways with different people," Chiarelli said. "To me, I like to talk about a coach's persona. His person in a venue like this [press conference] and his persona in the room. It's about commanding respect. It's about motivating the players in a respectful way and a professional way. It's about the ideas, the formats, the approaches. It's all professional, it's all to an end. There's a plan.
"Claude's ability to have that persona and have players respect what he stands for and to be able to deliver that message in a way that engages them, that's what I see as leadership and that's what Claude has, and a large part of that leadership is character."
For Julien, there have been rocky times to be sure. Remember the May 13, 2010 when the Flyers completed their comeback from 3-0 down to eliminate the Bruins? Remember in their Cup run of 2011 when P.K. Subban scored to force overtime in Game 7 in the first round. If the Bruins don't win that game, it's a near certainty that Julien is not up on the dais Tuesday talking about his vision for the Bruins. Even this year, when the Bruins were fading a bit in the final two months of the season, falling from first to third in the East, there were whispers that players were tuning out Julien.

|Harry Sinden on D&C: 'If we can't stay out of the penalty box, all bets are off'
|05.27.11 at 8:07 am ET
Longtime Bruins executive Harry Sinden joined the Dennis & Callahan show Friday morning to talk about Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, with the Bruins hosting the Lightning Friday night. Sinden, who was the team's general manager from 1972-2000, now serves as senior advisor to the owner and alternate governor. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Sinden expressed cautious optimism about the game. "I'm not sure they'll win. I'm almost sure they'll win," he said. "Tim Thomas is, of course the key, the number one factor as to whether we win, for sure."
Sinden said home-ice advantage isn't a major factor, but it's more evident in a Game 7 than any other time.
"I would give the advantage to the Bruins, Sinden said. "In hockey maybe the home ice isn't as big of an advantage as it is in a couple of the other sports, particularly, it appears to me in basketball. But the seventh game I think is an advantage to be playing it at home. Even though Tampa has got a lot of momentum after that last game, I think it will be offset by the fact that we are playing in front of our fans. I give them a slight advantage for that."
For the Bruins to be successful, Sinden said they need to take the pressure to the Lightning the way they are capable of doing.
"We have a team that can be a very, very strong checking team. It has the will of any of the good teams in the league to get that part of the game done," he said. "Sometimes we don't apply it, we kind of sit back and let the other team come to us. But on the nights that we go to the other team, it's kind of almost as simple as that ' instead of sitting back and letting them bring it you, you go to them, even if they have the puck. When we play like that, we're pretty tough to beat with Tim Thomas in goal, really tough to beat."

Advocating communicative confidence: empowering law students to be 'water-walkers'
McCarthy, Patricia (2006) Advocating communicative confidence: empowering law students to be 'water-walkers'. Australian Journal of Communication, 33(1), pp. 73-89.
This paper proposes that the secret to becoming a winning advocate is a confident communicator style (Norton, 1983; Moss Kanter, 2004). The paper explores strategies that may help a law student develop the essential communicative confidence to handle the 'Socratic Method' (Garner, 2000) and become a successful advocate. As so much of the law has to do with speaking, one such strategy is to give students an understanding of the principles of rhetoric, including the opportunity to work on the practice of their persuasive power: both verbal and non-verbal. The paper investigates a critique of the 'Socratic Method' (Garner, 2000), which dominates the tradition of the law in the western world. The question of the potential of the Socratic Method to be misogynistic (Garner, 2000) is investigated to show that Socratic teaching in legal education is a daunting prospect for many students. The case study used is an elective unit that prepares students for mooting and court work and that is currently taught at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Law School. This paper outlines aspects of the teaching approach and uses feedback from students to analyse its effectiveness in developing communicative confidence and overcoming the fear associated with Socratic courtroom processes.

Crown Casino Complex, 8 Whiteman Street Southbank, VIC 3006
|Opening hours
|Daily, noon-late
|8679 1800
In the most prosaic terms, The Waiting Room - TWR to its friends - is the lobby bar for Crown Towers, the hotel at the casino complex. It's also chef Neil Perry's third Melbourne outfit, after his flagship Rockpool and modern Chinese restaurant Spice Temple. A cocktail bar with a Perry-worthy snack menu, The Waiting Room is a glamorous pit stop that has recently introduced a weekend afternoon tea.
For crowd watching, pick one of the tables that border the hotel's lobby, a cavernous space where well-heeled guests (and the odd baseball cap) trot through on the way to the suites or gaming tables. Further into the inner sanctum, it's all art deco styling with old-world glamour, mirrored surfaces and cosy nooks in which to hide.
TWR is open daily from noon until late but afternoon tea ($42 a head) is served only on Saturday and Sunday from noon-5pm, with plans to expand to weekdays as well. Bookings are recommended.
Afternoon tea means tea (loose-leaf black, green or herbal, by Jing - or coffee, if that way inclined) but alcohol is by no means discouraged. For $55 a head, afternoon tea will also include a glass of 2006 Chandon Blanc de Blancs; for $65, it's upgraded to a glass of NV Duval-Leroy Brut.
The everyday menu ranges from classic drinking food (American cheeseburger; fried chicken wings with hot sauce) to a decidedly Iberian slant with chicken mole, kingfish ceviche and beef and boiled-egg empanada. Afternoon tea - as opposed to high tea, which was a heartier meal for the masses and sadly did not involve scones - begins at The Waiting Room with the arrival of a triple-tiered silver stand bearing an array of savoury and sweet snacks. There are the obligatory finger sandwiches, of course (salmon, cream cheese and dill; cucumber and chive butter; and chicken, walnut and celery cream) and their savoury bedfellows of anchovy pastry twists and parmesan biscuits. Head pastry chef Catherine Adams has devised the pretty range of petits gateaus, including tiny caramelised apple tarts, passionfruit miroirs (with layered custard and jelly) and peanut, caramel and chocolate ganache tarts. And no self-respecting afternoon tea would be complete without scones - these vanilla-orange with strawberry jam and Chantilly cream.
Hotel guests; friends meeting friends; high-end shoppers refuelling between onslaughts at Louis Vuitton and Gucci.
Because afternoon tea is a tradition that deserves to be revived.
The Waiting Room, Crown Towers lobby, Southbank, phone 8679 1800.
