Analysis by Christopher Lawlor, USA TODAY
To say Collins Hill High in Suwanee, Ga., played its best during the Class 5A state tournament is an understatement.
Collins Hill (31-0), No. 1 in USA TODAY's Super 25 final girls rankings, tore through the final third of the season with a vengeance, winning five state games by an average margin of 20 points.
Credit the inside-outside attack punctuated by 6-1 All-American Maya Moore that clicked after playing in holiday tournaments in Chandler, Ariz., and Seattle.
"If someone told me before the season we'd go undefeated, I'd have thought differently," said coach Tracey Tipton, whose team annexed its third consecutive large class (5A) state crown earlier this month. "Winning the Phoenix tournament was huge because it was the best teams in the country played over four consecutive days."
In Arizona, the Lady Eagles beat three Super 25 squads, including a 75-61 win vs. No. 2 Poly (Long Beach).
Moore, who signed with Connecticut, averaged 25.5 points and 12.1 rebounds and teamed with junior post player Taylor Dalrymple. Texas Tech-bound Jordan Jones, guard Shakeda Richie, juniors Nikki Urbizo and Lauren Pace and sophomore Jazmine Walker shored up the perimeter.
The cupboard isn't bare for Collins Hill, which returns four key players. Tipton is excited about the young talent on the junior varsity and freshman squads, which combined for one loss and two regional championships.
•Coast to coast: Ten teams appeared in all 13 rankings, including seven of the top 10. Collins Hill held the top spot for the entire season, capped by winning a third consecutive Georgia Class 5A championship. No. 3 Rockwall (Texas) made the biggest leap from the preseason moving up 13 spots. Thirteen teams from the preseason rankings appeared in the final rankings. Twenty teams won state or diocesan tournament titles.
•Player of the week: Guard Erica Morrow closed out her prep career with a second New York State Federation Class AA title in four seasons as No. 4 Murry Bergtraum (Manhattan) defeated then-No. 24 Rush-Henrietta (Henrietta, N.Y.) 47-33. The Syracuse-bound Morrow scored 34 points in two federation games earning MVP honors. Morrow also helped her team win a ninth consecutive PSAL city title, scoring 24 points in a 79-56 win vs. Kennedy (Bronx). Morrow will play in today's McDonald's All-American Game in Louisville.
•Free throws: No. 19 Lexington (Ky.) Christian showed no jitters winning its first Kentucky Sweet Sixteen State Championship, defeating Iroquois (Louisville) 71-62. Sophomore Anna Martin scored 25 points. … University (Newark, N.J.), No. 5 in the East Region, won its first New Jersey State Tournament of Champions crown, beating Trenton Central 68-62 in overtime before 4,827 at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford. Freshman Lauren Mincey, the MVP, netted a game-high 22 points and added six rebounds, three blocks and six steals. … No. 2 Poly (Long Beach) won its second consecutive Division I state title as Jasmine Dixon (23 points, 11 rebounds) and Candice Nichols (17 points, eight rebounds) led a 58-52 win vs. Berkeley. It marked the final game for Berkeley coach Gene Nakamura, who stepped down after 24 years. … Oklahoma-bound Danielle Robinson contributed 22 points and eight rebounds leading No. 21 Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.) to a 54-49 victory against then-No. 9 Brea-Olinda in the Division II state final.

Philippine Apart-Hotels or Condotels as Investment Homes
In the Philippines it is not just that apartments are relatively cheaper and relatively more easy-to maintain than a single-family house. Visit advertisers to research the purpose of this viewpoint. Recently, they have become the leading residential investment and the best may be yet to come states Beth Collingz, International Sales Director, PLC International, the lead marketing lovers for Pacific Concord Properties Inc's Lancaster Model of Condo-hotels.
Collingz said according to her research in-to Philippine home values, since 2000, mid market condos in Metro Manila have increased in value 120 percent, at an annual fee of 17.14 percent when compared with new homes rising some 25 percent since 2000 or 3.57 percent a year and resale homes rising 2-0 percent since 2000 or 2.85 percent a year. The mean value for a current facility sort property in Metro Manila is just about $53,000 for 2007, up some 55 percent from $34,000 in 2005 though mid range housing prices in the $90,000 range for 2007 are merely up some 8 percent from $84,000 in 2005. This pushing chiropractor lancaster ca URL has several engaging tips for how to engage in it.
Increasing demand for condos, accommodations, small and medium-term rental hotel, offices and shopping malls in the Philippines, house to a population of almost 80 million and with a great number of the more than 10 million returning international Filipino Seniors, can be fueling rents. Residential rents in Metro Manila rose 26 % in the 90 days to March 2007, their greatest quarter-on-quarter increase in more when compared to a decade, as more and more I-T organizations setup shop in the Philippines. Organizations like Texas Instruments are investing $1B in expanded operations in the Philippines. High-end rents increased some 13 percent from a year earlier in the day, said Collingz.
Collingz projects that Rents in the spot are set to effectively jump up by at the least 8.7 percent per year over the next five years, compared with 3.7 percent in Europe and 3.3 percent in america. Yields from 8 percent to as large as 14-16 percent ROI o-n rental income property contrast with the 4 percent to 5 percent that private-equity firms get-in Europe and the United States.
Significant rise is given by these facts to-the price of earning Condotel investments in the Philippines says Collingz. Folks are in general trying to shift account passes somewhat towards Asia, Collingz said. It already has received a powerful effect in areas where there's a lot of this money chasing the same resources. In Singapore, the region's second- biggest market after Japan, investments by private property funds accounted for seven of the 1-9 office blocks, worth 6.7 billion pounds, offered since September 2005. REITs ordered six. A Goldman Sachs fund paid 690 million dollars for 2 properties last November that home the headquarters of DBS Group Holdings. In Hong Kong, property funds of Morgan Stanley and Macquarie Bank paid a total of 7.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, or $1.02 billion, for four company blocks from March to May possibly, according a recent article published by CB Richard Ellis.

Goodbye, Debbie] [Southern Capital] [Tropical Tour] [Unwinding] [Farewell Banquets] [Winding Down] [Good Bye, Shanghai]
Apr. 5: Chinese Ecology My computer woes continue, and now the e-mail is a problem because the university changed to a new server (without informing us users). It is much quicker but not as reliable. In any event, the transition has lost many of my messages. One of the staffers comes over to help, but after a time we wind up where we started. In the evening, Debbie substitutes for an English Class at Tongji University. So, I go to dinner on my own to the Shack where I bump into Fred, who I met there early last Fall. He is the general manager of a local startup that designs and installs environmental control equipment. We chat a bit about the China pollution situation. With new regulations and greater social consciousness, he expects his business to be very lucrative in a few years. I hope he is correct. When I get home, I receive a call from an MBA student from last semester who works at Bao Steel, the largest in China and accused of being a notorious polluter. He invites me to give a lecture to some of the managers there.
Apr. 6: Invitation to Zurich After my strategic management MBA class I receive an urgent e-mail from an MBA program in Zurich which has a joint program with my home institution and where I taught for two weeks last year. One of my colleagues scheduled to teach there in a few weeks cannot make it, so they ask me to fill in. I notify them I will have to get permission from several sources and re-schedule my Chinese classes, lectures, and visits. I receive a phone call from Zurich that evening and we discuss it further.
Apr. 7: Hanging out With Debbie I teach my business ethics MBA class in the afternoon, and Debbie is again teaching a English class at Tongji University at night. When she gets home we decide to blow off the night. We first go to Super Disco, then DDs, and finally MGM where Debbie meets some businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Back home, I receive another urgent e-mail and phone call from Zurich and we confirm my trip and the course in a couple of weeks.
Apr. 8: English Corner After a few months away from this weekly crowd, I decide to go back to the graduate student dormitories where I can mix and mingle with the students. Most are from Fudan, but some work or come from other universities. The topics start out political, but eventually drift to lighter fare comparing our cultures, places we have traveled, and even views about personal relationships. At home, I again receive an e-mail and phone call from Zurich and we discuss my trip and the course some more.
Apr. 9: Zurich Runaround I go to the Waiban office to arrange several pending air flights. Because I am in a rush I will have to go alone to get the re-entry visa permitting me to return to China. For lunch, I meet the two students working with me on a business strategy case. Then one of them accompanies me to the immigration office where I drop off my passport for the visa, then to the airline office to get my ticket. For dinner, a bunch of us go to Malones for happy hour, Western fare, and a couple of games of pool. From there we drift off to Real Love where we slowly begin to split up. Later back home I check my e-mail to find that my Department Chair and School of Business Dean dont want me to teach in the Zurich program because my two-week absence might jeopardize our China programs. After being here for over seven months I have no idea what joint programs they are referring to. Moreover, they prefer to pull someone from my home institution out of the classroom for two weeks rather than send me who is on leave for the year. Go figure, but I guess thats why theyre administrators. Anyway, the smart folks at Zurich decided we were too far along to let the clever administrators back home make the decision.
Apr. 11: Home-Cooked Meal I take Pat to the airport in the morning, then spend the afternoon finalizing my Zurich syllabus and materials. Tom, the Chinese Entrepreneur from Albany, and his niece and business associate Jenny bring over duckling, snails, tofu soup, and other local delights. Tom and I talk shop and reminisce about our adopted home town while Jenny cooks dinner. Maurice joins us, but Debbie is a bit ill so she just naps through it all. Anyway, it is an early night for us all.

A 1980s anti-drug use PSA featured a hot skillet and a raw egg. To demonstrate the effect that drugs had on your brain, the hot skillet was held out and the voiceover told us, "This is drugs." As an egg was cracked into the skillet and immediately began to pop and sizzle, the voiceover continued: "This is your brain on drugs."Those lines came to mind as I read a Huffington Post article about recent research studying what happens to the brain when we pray. The research found that prayer activa … [Read more...]

Money Can't Buy Happiness but It Can Give You Depression
Every U.S. citizen knows that by law we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Although it isn't stated in our Constitution, most Americans also add in the pursuit of the American Dream for good measure. We see the amassing and usage of wealth as a way to have the life, liberty, and happiness that is promised.Wealth, however, isn't always content to give us our rights. We may pursue it, but it promises us nothing, and oftentimes, it takes more than we expected. At lea … [Read more...]
Mixed Signals: Staged Brand Experiences or Building Blocks for Belonging?
You remember Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs—it prescribes the building blocks individuals need to achieve something dubbed self actualization. In order to work toward the pinnacle, our physiological, personal safety, love and belonging, and self esteem needs must be met, respectively. Then we arrive at some idealistic state of personhood, which no one has ever experienced but supposedly exists.Marketing specialists keep these psychological goals in mind to develop strategic messages that impact … [Read more...]

Research Shows that Complaining Turns Brains to Mush

President Obama and Cultivating Habits of the Heart

virus cross-section diagram
Augmented Reality (AR) combines webcam technology and computers with special symbols called markers or glyphs to allow the computer to superimpose dynamically created real-time content on top of the image seen by the webcam. The computer uses the shape of the marker to keep the computer generated content in register with the marker.
The easiest way to understand what this actually means is to try it out ...
You need a webcam attached to your PC and a copy of this marker, to show to your webcam.
Once this page has loaded, you will see a security warning over the area above. This is the webpage asking for your permission to use your webcam (you need to choose 'Allow').
Once you can see the image from your webcam, show the marker to the webcam and you will see the content projected as though it was sitting on the marker.
Please note, you need to have the marker completely in the field of view of your webcam in order for it to correctly read the marker. Dark shadows cast on the marker can also interfere with this.

The Italian tactician was disappointed after his City side won their final Champions League Group A game 2-0 against Bayern Munich at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday only to go out of the competition due to Napoli's 2-0 win at Villarreal.
It means Mancini must try and raise his players for a tilt at winning the Europa League in the second half of the campaign, while maintaining their push for a first ever Premier League crown.
However, he does not feel that will impact on their title bid, especially with neighbours and closest rivals Manchester United also facing Europa League football after their shock Champions League exit on Wednesday.
"I think that for the Premier League it changes nothing because both teams are in the Europa League," said Mancini.
"The difference is that the Europa League is harder because we play Thursday and we won't have a lot of time to recover for the games but this will be the only difference," he added.
On the Europa League, Mancini added: "I think that for Manchester City it's an important trophy because we need to win more trophies if it's possible."
"At the moment I can understand that the Europa League is not as important as the Champions League but for us it will be important and if we can go to the final it would be good for Manchester City."

(46.57 kB) A remodeler contacted me to discuss a problem he thought he'd resolved but clearly hadn't. Earlier in the year, soon after beginning a major project, he'd realized he was working for one of those "customers from hell." This person was extremely picky and expected his project to be built to a higher standard than was customary in the area. He failed to make selections on time, demanded that work be performed out of sequence, and called local building inspectors about perceived code violations. There were no violations — but having to deal with the inspectors still cost the remodeler a lot of time and goodwill.Neither side was happy with how things were going, so after a heart-to-heart talk the remodeler and the customer agreed to part ways.

Trekkers Paradise
El CHALTEN
Monkey Man - the missing link?!!!....
The last 600m were sheer hell mainly due to the sheer cliff we were climbing. We had already been walking for 3 hours since 8am and Seamus said we should take the detour on the map. I looked up and said no way but decided to give it a go anyway. He took the rear and offered words of encouragement such as 'you're doing well' 'keep going' and other such Bull S***. It's a miracle we didn't have to call in the local equivalent of William O Brien crane hire. After an hour and a half of excrutiating pain we rounded the top of the moraine - I looked in front of me and thank god I was wearing sun glasses cos I burst out crying! Partly due to relief at getting to the top but mainly due to the sight that lay before me: the most perfectly turquoise, half frozen glacial lake, backed by a glacier and topped by the majestic jagged knife-like Mt Fitzroy. I was totally overwhelmed. We sat down and lay back and drank that view in.
Thanks to the 2 Canadians for telling us about Chalten. It is a hikers paradise. On arrival we tried to rent a little cabin which had views of the snowcapped mountains but it was only available for next 4 nights so we stayed in the hotel for 1st night. Of course for unfit Aine it was a baptism of fire. Walking as follows: day 1 four hour hike, day 2 seven hour hike, day 3 five hour hike, day 5 nine hour hike ( the tear producing one). (Below are photos taken on day 5 trek).
On day 5 Seamus decided to get up at 4am and trek an hour outside town to get a view of mount Fitz Roy as sunrise appeared over the horizon. Of course I was with him (in my dreams)...not. but I had brekkie ready when he returned at 7. That's when we did the 9 hour hike. "Mad fecker" but I suppose I love him. Photos below are pre sunrise and during sunup.
And at last we got to taste the lamb cooked on the wood fire. I was in carnivore heaven - you could have eaten that meat with with a spoon.
And then all too soon our time in our little paradise came to an end and then there was our 30 hour bus journey to look forward to.... yes that's 30 hours. For a change Seamus on arriving in El Chalten, decided to book our transport out of there with a bus company called Taqsa. All was well until we started reading blogs about our particular bus company, all of which said 'do not use this company' hmmm. One writer said that she was so hungry that she almost ate the bus driver, and then the passengers. As much of a carnivore that I am I didn't fancy eating our fag smoking, supersized bus driver.

Memories of Ian Thorpe haunt Thomas Fraser-HolmesStathi Paxinos
Published: April 26 2013 - 1:32PM
Thomas Fraser-Holmes brought back memories of Ian Thorpe at the swimming national titles this morning, but unfortunately for the Gold Coast-based swimmer it was for all the wrong reasons.
Fraser-Holmes false-started his heat of the 400 metre freestyle and was immediately disqualified. It was the same race in which Thorpe dramatically fell from the blocks in 2004 and was also disqualified, although Thorpe went on to win gold in the event at the Athens Olympic Games after Craig Stevens withdrew to allow him to take his berth.
The impact of Fraser-Holmes' plunge are far less significant. The 21 year old was far from the standing that Thorpe held at the time, but he was among the favourites to secure a berth in the race at the world championship in Barcelona. However, his hopes have not been completely dashed, as he is also set to compete in the 200 freestyle and 400 individual medley.
London Olympian David McKeon finished the fastest qualifier for Friday night's final in three minutes 47.35 seconds, with Jordan Harrison second fastest in 3:48.43 and Ryan Napoleon (3:53.14).
Matt Targett put aside the controversy of his reprimand for behaviour towards teammate Alicia Coutts by posting a sharp swim in the heats of the 50 butterfly. Targett will go into Friday night's semi-finals as second-fastest qualifier with a time of 23.96, behind fellow London Olympian Cameron McEvoy (23.94).
In other results, Kylie Palmer will start Friday night's 400 freestyle final as fastest qualifier after winning her morning heat in 4:08.93 ahead of Katie Goldman (4:09.92), Remy Fairweather (4:11.39) and Bronte Barratt (4:11.78).
Emily Seebohm was the fastest qualifier for the 200 individual medley semi-finals with a time of two minutes 13.78 minutes ahead of Aisling Scott (2:13.86) and Hayley Baker (2:14.92). London Olympics silver medallist Alicia Coutts cruised to the fourth fastest time of 2:15.41. She also finished fastest qualifier for the 100 butterfly semi-finals in 58.74 ahead of dual-British Olympian Ellen Gandy, who will from next year be able to qualify for the Australian team.
"The semis are really close tonight so you only had to make top 16," Coutts said. "I feel fine in the water so I'll just go faster tonight and faster tomorrow night."
Christian Sprenger posted the second fastest time of the year in winning his 100 breaststroke heat in 59.76 seconds. Sprenger, who has also posted the fastest time of the year with a 59.75, was almost two seconds quicker then second-fastest qualifier for the semi-finals, Brenton Rickard (1:01.73).
Meanwhile, Taylor Corrie, a S14 swimmer, was the fastest qualifier for tonight's 100 backstroke multi-class final ahead of Julia Algie (S15) and Kayla Clarke (S14) while Australia's youngest ever Paralympic gold medallist Maddison Elliott (S8) qualified fourth.
Michael Anderson (S10) was the fastest qualifier for the men's 100 backstroke multi-class final ahead of Grant Patterson (S3) and Daniel Fox (S14).

Most of the other writings of the master seem to have preceded this edition; for adami enumerates them in his Prodromus.
Prof. adami holds that the regular development of layer upon layer of new connective tissue is non-inflammatory.
Several theories have been propounded to account for the origin of C. adami, and for the transformations which it undergoes.
The following passage is from Mr. Hallam's account of Campanella and his disciple adami.
Regarding the imitations of the stage, see adami, De poetis scen.
(1st edition), concerning Campanella and adami, is better founded, though your correspondent C. is himself not wholly accurate.
He was considering a voyage to Havre and "a little trip with Dr. adami" when he arrived.

Menopause is actually a natural condition that all women experience at some point, although the average era is 51. The name signifies the top of a woman's reproductive period is indicated by a long term end to menstruation. Many women wait for this significant period of their life; some consider it to remain an inevitable sign for aging.
So-called hot flashes are definitely the most frequent menopausal manifestation, as well the span stopping immediately before menopause. Around 60 percent of the women experience these, which usually occur at night which enables it to last up to a couple of minutes. A hot flash is ideal described as a sudden and they sometimes intense feeling of temperature, often accompanied by reddening skin and sweating.
Intense hot flashes after dark are known as occasion sweats and around 75 percent of women going through menopause experience them. Night sweats can actually occur up to a long time before menopause itself which enables it to be so intense regarding seriously disrupt sleep. The symptoms include the intense feeling of heat, often accompanied by queasy, headaches, chills and any flushing sensation.
The starting point of menopause also gives you mood swings; many a lot of women feel irritable, moody or depressed - a feeling that is worse if you happen to be anxious or depressed in any event. This can often be alongside occasional or regular sleep loss, as well as a low sexual desire; and some women can fight to concentrate, or even have slight but disturbing mind lapses.
There are other sorts of menopausal symptoms. You may perhaps experience headaches for very little apparent reason, or soul palpitations. Some women come to feel tired; others find which usually their hair is loss, even falling out. A frequently experienced symptom is actually a feeling of vaginal dryness, which is the result of drop in the body's estrogen level which enable it to be both physically not to mention emotionally upsetting.
Pain in the breasts or aching and sore joints may also be common symptoms, as usually are feelings of light-headedness and also dizziness. Weight gain during menopause is as well an unfortunate sign, seeing that are various digestive problems or bouts of unwanted wind. Of course, many of these symptoms is somewhat vague and alone are not necessarily signs you've got finally reached menopause.
Unfortunately, you cannot find any telling how long the particular symptoms of menopause lasts; it could be between a year to five years following your menopause itself. Almost the many symptoms associated with menopause can be treated not directly. And if you can at least recognize and understand the symptoms that you are experiencing, menopause is perhaps easier to deal with.

I had damage from using products found on skinbiology. Loren Pickart is the "promoter" of these products which are copper peptides. His theory is that wrinkles and ageing is actually injury and as copper peptides are used to treat burn victims and post ablative laser he presumes that they will likewise help the skin heal. Problem is that it actually, in the strengths he suggests, is used as with the above legitimate reasons as a way to slow down collagen so as not to keloid or scar. I am a "jump in head first" girl and I had really great skin, used these products for three months and my skin was as bad as my mother's. It literally was crepey and awful. I was devastated. Worse yet I used these products all over but for my face (luckily). I tried all sorts of creams, I did read a lot on the internet about other women who had similar experiences and though Loren Pickart calls these "the uglies" claiming you should stick with the treatment and it will look worse then better, it usually does not. Some people still swear by them but I live in a sunny climate and found out the copper interacts with UVB and degrades collagen. Anyway I finally found someone who said he could improve this. He worked for a doctor and was a medical aesthetician. Well he did indeed do my body from top to toe and even the souls of my feet. I also went into a hyperbaric chamber which allegedly helps healing. It burned a bit like a sun burn BUT that said, it was not overly painful. I am only a bit over a week out but a "lunchtime" treatment is not exactly what I would call it. It is far more involved. I do have areas that look "burnt" but not wounded really. Scabby is a good description. So far all dark freckles are starting to come off and my skin looks slightly better. I was told ideally 3 treatments would do and no sun and it takes 4 weeks to notice a difference. So far I do not see a huge difference and it is hard to wear normal clothes in the summer heat because I do look scabby in areas. The crepey look is still present but he claims it will slough off and that he heated the under part of the skin so this is just dry dead skin. He did show me his skin and he is a lot older than me and has done it on himself so I can say his skin looked amazing. I will see in time I suppose but do not think it is a no side effect treatment.
Updated Sept 2 2010
I wanted to report back. Due to my moving out of the country I had my first treatment and as I saw the results asked if I could do a second sooner. I went to a clinic called White Lite on Washington and 2nd Street in that strip of stores under The Cosmopolitan. Long story short, I am addicted! The first treatment too YEARS off my sun damaged skin. Dark freckles I have had since I remember, like those on my shoulders, as well as my decolletage and entire body slowly peeled. Some areas were a bit deep and look depigmented but should recover in time completely. My face, ironically, did not need it, but my body did both for the crepey skin as well as the pigmentation from years in the sun. In any event, I have, after the first treatment and one microdermabrasion which Eduard threw in so as to be able to do the second treatment quickly, become a definite proponent of this treatment. I think a lot is down to who you go to as well. My aesthetician used the Palomar Starlux 500 and it is an "all in one". All lasers and IPL devices heat the skin thereby stimulating collagen (they actually heat the liquified area under the skin which is like a controlled damage which in turn creates collagen). The crepey look, just about one week later looks MUCH better. All those freckles and what I call "permatan" is slowly going away. The second treatment was for the lighter depigmentation as first you must treat the deeper pigmentation issues. I am almost positive I will fly back for a third treatment after this though my skin looks so good that while I used to get carded with full clothing on, it rarely happened with my body skin, exposed but the other day a woman was talking to me and told me "you are in your early twenties you have plenty of time" I asked her if she knew how old I was, it turns out she too was in her late 30's and was amazed. I now am once again in the convalescent stage, I will confess, being a do it yourself kind of girl, I did hurry things along by using 50% glycolic acid from make-up artists choice mixed in gently with my moisturiser and left on overnight. It did not itch too much but it did the trick and speeded up the exfoliation. Once the initial pain subsides (and yes there is a degree of pain similar to a sunburn for some days later) I intend on doing the same. Would I recommend this, ABSOLUTELY! But beware, not all technicians/aestheticians are the same nor are all machines. I have heard good and bad about different machines, but by and large I think the operator is the more important factor as well as their experience. I will update again after the second peeling occurs. If this goes as well as the first I will be restored to a very youthful skin age and my face and body will match in terms of looking younger than my years---which is all of our objective I believe!

Parents and students swarmed Ooltewah High School tonight at the second public meeting, explaining plans for rezoning.
East Hamilton Middle-High School is overcrowded, and Ooltewah High School is under capacity.
The school district held a meeting at East Hamilton earlier in the week where parents expressed anger about their children moving to a different school.
Debra Fisher took a close look at the rezoning map, thankful her Ooltewah High School son won't have to change schools.
"My 10th grader is currently taking a modern English and grammar class, and his class has 32 students already, and they're already having to borrow desks from other classrooms," Fisher said.
Although Ooltewah High School as a whole is undercrowded, Fisher said some classes have too many kids already.
Superintendent Rick Smith took questions and concerns from parents at Ooltewah High about the proposed rezoning of several schools.
Right now, East Hamilton Middle-High School is over capacity by about 500 students, and Ooltewah is about 500 students under capacity.
"It needs to happen. We can't continue to have this kind of situation we have at East Hamilton where we're floating 10 teachers every period, every day in that building ... In other words, teachers don't have classrooms," Smith said.
If the rezoning process is approved, it'll also force some elementary school students to rezone. The middle and high school rezone would take effect next year, but the elementary rezoning wouldn't go into effect until two years from now.
"The children being moved from a school that's getting all A's in reading, math and basic skills going to a school making C's ... and sometimes below, that's a crime," Karma Morgan, a parent, said.
One man handed the superintendent a written proposal requesting a strategic plan explaining the rezoning strategies.
"This is a proposal. We are the citizens of this county, and we have the right to look at the strategic plan you're executing," he said.
Most parents at the meeting simply want the best for their children.
"Ooltewah parents don't want to see the problem here again," Fisher said.
School board officials will vote on this proposal in two weeks. If passed, the middle and high school rezoning changes will go into effect in August.

maemo.org Bugzilla – Bug 4754
Unhelpful "$Application breaks the 3rd party package policy" error
Last modified: 2009-08-11 16:32:22 UTC
You need to
log in
before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Public Fremantle SDK beta && latest internal version (week27)
Start Application manager
Add Fremantle Extras-devel repo to Catalogues
Try to install one of the following packages:
* madbomber
* gFTP
* mediabox
Vague and unhelpful "$Application breaks the 3rd party package policy" error
Running "apt-get install $application" works fine.
In my opinion it is actually everybody's interest to avoid "=" links to
official Maemo libraries, because even if they would be allowed they would
leave 0 margin to developers if a SSU comes breaking those links. Even if we
announces such updates with some time in advance (to be confirmed) it might
just happen that the developer is busy, on holidays, unaware... The ones who
would pay the consequences would be the users seeing how some of their apps
won't install anymore.
But of course this rule shouldn't be imposed for links between third party
packages. They are free to links as they wish, and such "external" links don's
seem to be affecting the good deployment of a SSU anyway. The own Extras
process makes sure already that conflicting versions a problems with
dependencies are detected in extras-devel before being promoted to testers and
end users.
By the way, shouldn't this policy be just part of the Maemo packaging policy?
Important to note here is that these applications don't actually specify '='
depends on system libraries, but their own libs or related packages.
I understand the need of not allowing to break SSU, but SSU should not be
affected by this.
For example with gftp:
gftp-common (= 2.0.18-17maemo4)
I'm not seeing any hard depends on system libs, so this looks more like a bug
than a policy issue?
This is currently being worked on.
Yes, it's a bug.
CCing vjazquez since he is the developer working on this.
I've landed a bunch of patches in master branch today, which should get this

Rodman, who gets close to North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un, slams President Obama over American citizen being held in the country's jail, saying that the U.S.' president 'can't even go talk.'
Former basketball player Dennis Rodman said that he would go to North Korea to talk about American citizen Kenneth Bae who is currently held in the country for alleged government overthrow. In a video posted by TMZ on Friday, May 10, Rodman also criticized President Obama on the issue.
"I'm gonna try and get the guy out. It's gonna be difficult," he said. Shortly after, he began attacking President Obama, "We got a black president [who] can't even go talk to [Jong-un]. Obama can't do s**t, I don't know why he won't go talk to him," he ranted. In addition, he dropped the F word, "Obama? F**k him!" He planned to go to North Korea on August 1.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un takes interest in basketball. He and Rodman became friends when Rodman toured the country last February with HBO's "Vice" series. The two even watched a basketball game together. Rodman, who declared Kim Jong-Un as friend, took to Twitter earlier this week to say that he would ask his North Korean friend a favor. "I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea or as I call him 'Kim', to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose," he wrote.
Kenneth Bae has been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor because of alleged "hostile acts" against North Korea. The country accused him of "trying to establish a base for anti-Pyongyang activities."

Enchantment of Opposites: How to Create Great Relationships
by Patricia Huntington Taylor
Traveling Artists Press / Oakland, CA. 1997.
It's always fascinating to read, for the first time, significant writings from authors whom you knew first in social contexts. Patricia Taylor has been a frequent contributor to this mailing list, and I was quite pleased to receive a review copy of her new book.
In essence, this is a book for male/female couples about relationships, intimacy, and getting along.
The history of the "heterosexual relationship self-help manual" has been an interesting one in the last half of this century. In the 50's, what books of this type as there were tended to emphasize rigid gender roles, with a highly patronizing attitude towards women. In the 60's, 70's, and especially 80's, a new trend in this genre emerged which emphasized the inherent sameness of men and women, and put forward very egalitarian images based on the concept that our differences are largely due to socialization. In the 90's a new trend has emerged: relationship self-help manuals that posit essential differences between men and women, and teach that to truly get along we need to understand and acknowledge rather than fighting these differences. The difference between this 90's essentialism and the 50's is expressed by the author on page 129: "Men and women can enjoy the practice of treating each sex differently. It is the chauvanism, or attitude that females are in fact inferior, that makes women angry."
It is not my place to comment on whether men and women ARE fundamentally different emotionally and socially, or whether perceived differences are largely due to culturization. However, assuming the existence of differences and explaining their natures is precisely what this book is about, and it is also precisely what its closest analog (Men are from Mars: Women are from Venus) is about as well. If you have a fundamental problem with this hypothesis, then Enchantment of Opposites isn't the book for you. If you don't, then you'll probably enjoy it immensely. In any case, setting this issue aside for the time being, let's proceed...
Enchantment of Opposites flows, in order, through seven "games" which the author proposes as making up the seven parts of the "Enchantment of Opposites master game" itself. They are: "The Self Game", "The Win/Win Game", "The Co-Creation Game", "The Man/Woman Game", "The Hero/Goddess Game", "The Encatment Game", and "The Community Game". These "games" essentially trace a path beginning with taking responsibility for the outcomes in your life, through intimacy with your partner, and into greater involvement in community.
The author uses the term "game" for each of these with the intent of draining some of the emotional weight behind "intimacy", "responsibility", etc, and allowing the reader to more easily read without judgement; I believe this was a wise choice given her goals.
Each section is stuffed with relationship and self-help advice, which ranges from commentary on "what we're like" to suggested communication exercises for couples. In terms of the quantity of advice offered, this book leaves Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus in the dust. A valuable design choice was the creation of little one-sentence summaries of the content of the previous section, each of which is worded quite memorably; there are probably close to one hundred of these, and if you don't have time to read the whole book in one setting scanning these will give you at least a general sense of what the author is getting at.
Since this review is being posted to a mailing list devoted to the study of human sexuality, I should point out at this time that there isn't any explict how-to advice about sex in this book, or frankly any discussion of the subject at all. However, since one of the mantras of sex educators in this decade is that communication and trust are the most important elements in quality sex, it's likely that if this book assists your relationship (with your partner or yourself) in general, it will enhance your sexual life as well.
I must confess to having hit a few snags while reading Enchantment of Opposites. For example, on page 74:
"'Womanese' is the multi-tracking, multiprocessing, parallel processing language spoken by women. Multi-tracking means operating on many tracks at once. It reflects how women think. Many thoughts can coexist in the mind of a woman. Her thoughts are not truly random; they have an internal logic and cohesiveness, but the logic behind the interconnection of her thoughts is non-linear. We call this type of thought 'supra-logical'."
I guess what made me pause on this one is that it doesn't really mesh with my everyday experience. I've met many women during my 26 years who can "out-logic" me without even trying hard. I know that on this mailing list there are many women participants whose skill at "linear thinking" (if I understand what the term means) exceeds my own, and so if I want to avoid having to post follow-ups and retractions I've learned to cool off a little when very emotional so that things can be at least a little more logical. Also, I worry that if as a man you really believed that the thought processes of women were this alien to you, that it might discourage you from trying to understand them. The author DOES explain her ideas in this area further, which helped, but I was still left hoping that life isn't really like this, and that our fundamental "thinking sytles" aren't really this different. However, I can't prove that they aren't any more than the author can prove that they are. This book is a distillation of advice, not a distillation of research.
However, whether this is "real" may not be the point. Enchantment of Opposites is designed to help heterosexual couples interact more functionally, and in that goal I suspect it will succeed. Many of the exercises in this book are ones that at various points I have done before with my primary partner, and they have definitely helped our ability to understand each other. Although it may be that differences between the "average man" and the "average woman" are due to socialization, the author may be correct in describing them; if society changes and these differences collapse or shift, then it will be time for a new self-help book, but for the time being I suspect many male/female couples will find the author's assesment of their desires and motivations to hold a ring of truth.
There's another reason this book may be interesting to some folks here. In the Acknowledgements section, the author thanks "Victor Baranco and the teachers at More University for their valuable information." My understanding is that More University had a lot to say about male/female relationships in addition to having a lot to say about sex. ESO may have hit some of the primary points of their sex technique teachings, but I suspect (without confirmation) that this book hits most of the main points of their views on relationships. In any case, it's not my place to speak for the author so we'll have to let her speak up on the degree to which this is true.
So, ultimately, what's my call?
Basically, if you liked Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus you'll love this book. In many ways it's better written, and certainly contains more advice. All those folks would be advised to read it, along with folks who are curious about what More University and Human Awareness Institute have to say about "relations between the sexes."
Patti's book has given me a new set of tools and perspectives to work relationships with. I am convinced that one is never to old to learn, and that there are always new, useful concepts to explore. "The Enchantment of Opposites" is full of interesting, useful ideas.
That said, I must warn you that I, very likely many of my loves, and possibly you will find a lot that is initially irritating about how this information is presented in "The Enchantment of Opposites." It comes from a heterosexual, monogamous perspective. It speaks about the way "men" and "women" think and behave as if individual variations on these themes, let alone gays, bis, and polys don't exist. The book uses the metaphor of a "game" to analyze interactions between partners, which begs one to consider the techniques recommended in the book to be insincere and manipulative. (The trick, of course, is that techniques of this sort only work if the persons using them are sincere.)
Usually when statements by someone I consider to be thoughtful and well meaning back me up, I take it as a sign that I have some work to do. After reading the "Enchantment of Opposites", I was forced to admit that a lot of what the book proposed was reflected in the reality of my relationships.
For example, the book asserts that men are producers and women are consumers. Men are happiest when they are producing something that their female partners want, and women are happiest when they are pushing their men to produce at their peak. As much as I wanted to resist this idea, it is certainly true in a number of my relationships, and trying to force it to be otherwise often results in conflict. The worst relationship crisis I have had in the past few years was not about my being rejected by a partner, but about my feeling that I no longer had anything of use to provide for that partner.
Another assertion in the book is that things go best when men offer women a menu of choices which they can accept or reject. With some notable exceptions, I have found this to be true. I often have a lot of trouble getting my female partners to tell me what they would like to do or have, while my male partners seem to be a lot more at ease expressing their desires.
"The Enchantment of Opposites" has a lot of ideas to offer those of us who are trying to make our relationships give us as much of what we want as possible. It also should provide the basis for a lot of healthy discussion.

As a sports fan, I'm not sure there's a better week than right now. The World Series and the peak of football season are all happening at once. Given the fact I'm built just a tad bigger than a horse jockey, I shelved aspirations of playing football fairly early on.
However, a spot at second base on a team that always challenged for an Alabama State High School Championship will forever be a source of pride and fond memories. We learned how to work insanely hard on that team, and one of us, my close friend Josh Rutledge, even made it to the major leagues. He currently plays for the Colorado Rockies, and in a couple of weeks, I'll be proud to attend his wedding.
Wedding ceremonies and Auburn football games at Jordan-Hare Stadium aside, my favorite days of fall are spent on the water. Whether you've spent the summer sweating inside a welding shop for a living, or during scorching weekends on the water for fun, I think it's safe to say we all welcome these crisp, cool days.
Bass seem to welcome the cooler days of fall, too. Unlike summer, when sunset and sunrise seem to be best, in the fall you can catch them all day long – even on a topwater lure.
Speaking of topwater lures – it's hard to beat a Zara Spook. I throw it on 15-pound monofilament on shallow points and flats. I like a bone-colored version on cloudy days, and something with a clear belly like the one hanging on my baseball glove when it's sunny.
If they're not biting your topwater lure, try casting a lipless crankbait like an X-Caliber Xr50 across those same flats and shallow points. Obviously, you don't want to cast it around thick cover such as fallen trees – but in sparse cover and even vegetation, it's hard to beat a lipless crankbait when bass are chowing-down on big shad like they often are at this time of year.
If you have heavy cover like laydown trees on the shoreline, or stumps on a really shallow flat, try a shallow-running squarebill crankbait. They're designed to hunt their way through and around heavy wood cover, as well as scattered rocks – and they also do a great job of mimicking shad in shallow water. I cast these on 15-pound line, too.
Hopefully those three lures will help you locate a few more fat fish this fall, in much the same way Josh Rutledge and I used to track down grounders back in Cullman, Alabama - or might I say, like Auburn receivers tracking-down pigskins here at Jordan-Hare.

If you're like me, you're interested in how the economy of the App Store works, but don't want to wade through a bunch of blah-blah words and numbers to find out. Well, never fear: the good people at GigaOm have come up with a lovely diagram that explains it all succinctly for you. There are quite a few interesting nuggets there; one of the bits I found most interesting is that, despite the perception that the App Store approval process is a Kafka-esque nightmare, developers actually only have to wait 4.78 days on average for approval.
One factor that doesn't fit into GigaOm's pretty picture is piracy, and if you believe the staggering numbers spewed out by some analysts, that's a huge omission. The brains behind 24/7 Wall Street have declared that the App Store has lost $450 million to piracy since it was launched in July of 2008. That's a crazy big sum, but does it hold up to scrutiny?
The core of the logic authors' logic comes from talks with some game developers, who have "phone home" code in their apps and who report piracy rates upwards of 75 percent; based on that, the authors conclude that for every instance of an app sold, three more are pirated. Can this really be true? I have my suspicions because all of the cited oft-pirated apps are exactly the kind that you'd think would be pirated -- popular games, and very pricey applications like turn-by-turn GPSes. What do you suppose the percentage for the 99 cent utility apps that, according to GigaOm's handy chart, make up the bulk of sales?
At least the 24/7 Wall Street analysts didn't make the common mistake of calling the piracy of a 99 cent game a 99 cent loss; they estimate (based on what, who knows) that 10 percent of pirates would have paid money for an app if they couldn't get an illegal copy, so that $450 million figure is only 10 percent of the value of (their estimates of) all pirated apps. But still, a 75 percent piracy rate -- in an environment where even by their estimates only 10 percent of iPhone users have jailbroken their phones -- seems ludicrously high.

Uranium miner
ERA has also allocated $57 million for a pre-feasibility study for the potential development of an underground mine, which will proceed in parallel with the statutory approval process for the project.
ERA is currently restricted to processing lower-grade stockpiles after the recent closure of its open pit mine in line with its rehabilitation plan. The development of Ranger 3 Deeps, which is estimated to contain 34,000 tonnes of uranium would allow it to boost its production significantly through access to the higher grade resources.
ERA produced 3710 tonnes of uranium last year, but that is expected to decline significantly as it processes the lower grade materials.
The current mining lease at the site is due to expire in 2021. The Ranger 3 Deeps mine, if approved by regulators and the ERA board, is expected to enter production in 2016.
In the environmental approval documents filed with federal regulators, ERA indicated it would be interested in extending the mining lease's term subject to market conditions and the relevant approvals.
ERA estimates the development will require a construction workforce of 100 to 150 during peak times.
■ ERA production at top end of guidance
■ ERA predicts loss of $135m to $155m

Does Disability Mean Inability?

Imagine that you are a middle aged woman living in a township called Kamwala in Zambia. You are HIV positive, widowed and yet you have managed to rise above the odds and raise two healthy children aged ten and sixteen. You are the breadwinner and everyday you ensure that your children are well fed and taken care of. You grew up having big dreams just like anyone else. Now those dreams are not as vivid as they used to be because everyday your daughter has to give you your ARV's and you need to use a walking stick, not because you are weak but because you have gone blind.

Washington (AP) - Senate leaders say they have agreed to steps to limit use of some filibusters, allow more amendments and take other steps to reduce partisan tactics that often slow business to a crawl.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican leader Mitch McConnell say they have also agreed to promote legislation that would reduce by a third the number of presidential appointments that require Senate confirmations. Carrying out this advice and consent role often takes the Senate months, or even years, to achieve.
The gentleman's agreement between the two came as the Senate prepared to reject stronger proposals to restrict the rights of the minority to filibuster legislation.

a PSC Small Fund Research Project
Investigator: Martha J. Bailey
In 1999, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) named family planning as one of the top ten "Great Public Health Achievements" of the twentieth century. However, the lack of data on family planning programs and randomization of program resources have limited social science knowledge about the benefits of these programs. The period of dramatic increases in federal investments in U.S. family planning programs under the "War on Poverty" (1964 to 1970) and Title X of the Public Health Service Act (1970-1980) presents an unrealized opportunity to evaluate the importance of these programs. This project will exploit discontinuities in federal family planning grants from 1964 to 1980 to create new estimates of these programs' impact on U.S. fertility and maternal and infant health. This project has two specific aims: (1) to compile, encode, link and disseminate the most comprehensive dataset on annual federal investments in family planning services from 1964 to 1980, fertility rates by race and county from 1950 to 1980, and maternal and infant health measures by race and county from 1950 to 1980; and (2) to develop and test a regression-discontinuity methodology for estimating the impact of family planning programs.
This project will contribute to the existing literature in several ways. First, a comprehensive summary of all (not just federally funded) family planning services in five program years will allow an examination of local program crowd-out by federal funds. Second, heterogeneity in the effectiveness of service delivery can be analyzed by provider type, since the clinic censuses provide information on the location (hospital or elsewhere) and sector (nonprofit or public) of each program. Finally, the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. are a useful point of comparison for understanding the effectiveness of many of these programs today as well as in developing countries. By compiling, encoding and disseminating information on the U.S. during the 1960s and 1970s, this project will aid other researchers interested in these programs and in fertility and maternal and infant health during this period.

Eight Days In A Burning Mine
Told by Thomas White, and set down by Louis Murphy.
Illustrated by Steven Spurrier
(From The World Magazine - October 1911)
The Cherry Mine, located at Cherry, in Bureau County, Illinois, was owned and operated by the St. Paul Coal Company, Illinois, been in operation for about four years, and was considered one of the best mines in the Central Illinois Coalfield. There were two veins, or levels, being worked, and two shafts descended to the upper one of these, which was known as the "Second Vein." Only one shaft communicated with the lower or third vein, and this fact was in large part responsible for the loss of life in the fire. The latter shaft was called the escapement shaft, and the one which terminated in the second vein was called the main shaft. The men, coal, and waste matter were raised out of the mine on a cage operated by a hoisting-engine in the main shaft, and from the third vein to the second vein on another cage in the escapement shaft, similarly manipulated.
On the day of the calamity there were about four hundred men working in the mine -- two hundred and fifty in the second vein, and the remainder in the lower level. About half-past one o'clock in the afternoon a car of hay that was being pushed along a track between the shafts in the second vein took fire from a blazing oil torch stuck in the wall there. The men at work near by, with the carelessness born of Iong experience with small fires, at first regarded the conflagration without alarm. The car was run to the escapement shaft, and dumped down it to the third vein, where it was thought it would burn itself out on the bottom without igniting the timbers of the shaft. Left thus unheeded, the fire gained a foothold in the shaft before any effort was made to extinguish it. Then the officials and employees lost their heads, and wasted much valuable time in a futile effort to put out the fire, instead of warning the men and getting them out of the mine. Thus it happened that many of the men did not learn of the outbreak until they finished work after three o'clock and came to the shaft to be hoisted to the surface.
