This was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam. The organization was excellent and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The cruise was wonderful-very relaxing and peaceful. The boat was beautiful, with a comfortable lounge area, a sundeck and attractive dining room. I was amazed at the comfort of the cabin and the bathroom was a really pleasant surprise. The food was delicious, especially the fish and there was plenty of it. All the organised excursions were good fun and interesting-I have never eaten so much fruit or coconut candy in my life. The lunch, on the return journey to Saigon, was also excellent. There are several more expensive options for cruising the Mekong, but I can't imagine they could be any better than this."TripAdvisor
This cruise was absolutely fantastic. The food onboard was of the highest quality and and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the small outings, going for a walk and discovering the various types of fruit which grow in the Mekong and then sampling them in someone's house. The highlight though was paddling along a small river off the Mekong in a sampan. This was one of the nicest parts of our trip to Vietnam."TripAdvisor
This was the highlight of our trip to Vietnam, the staff were among the best I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The meals were exceptional, the room was unbelievably spacious. No matter how many times we ordered a coke and two glasses of ice they were always happy to oblige.the trips to shore were just culturally educating, an experience we will treasure forever."TripAdvisor

Where We Live: Aurora/East Aurora
Aurora/East Aurora
Next weekend, for the second year in a row, a kind of Dog Olympics will go on for two days at Knox Farm State Park.
"It's very entertaining, if you like dogs," said Lynn Reece Broderick, organizer of the Dog Agility Trial. "There's an agility course with jumps, tunnels ..."
"It's all voice commands and body language," she said. "It's kind of a personal, 'You and the dog against the course.'"
This year about 30 dogs have registered – from mixed breeds to Border Collies, a Shetland Sheepdog, a Briard, a Mastiff and even a 'Goldendoodle," golden retriever-poodle hybrid.
Events start at 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, August 3 and 4, at the Chur Family Equestrian Center at the park on 363 Knox Road.
Broderick expected competitions to wrap up around 2 p.m.
Watching entrants win ribbons for their skill navigating the course might inspire other dogs and owners to get certified and enter next year's competition," said Broderick, who owns Pet Works Dog Training. "If you've got a dog who loves to work with you doing tricks, it's a wonderful bonding experience."
Dogs to watch next weekend: Sheamus, the dachshund. "He was a rescue dog," she said. "He used to be a couch potato."

I Need You Mother - Poem by Zainab Fareed
Will u come tonight
In my dream sight

Many things tonight

Embrace me and hug me
For I just need ur arms.

Monster Squad remake on the way?
Mike Fleming at Deadline.com reports that Paramount Pictures is planning to remake 1987's THE MONSTER SQUAD, with Rob Cohen (one of the producers on the original) hoping to direct this time out. Cohen will partner with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes (a virtual remake factory these days) to produce the film, which has yet to be scripted.
The original MONSTER SQUAD, co-written by Fred Dekker and Shane Black (later of LETHAL WEAPON), and directed by Dekker, told the story of some young kids whose town is invaded by classic movie monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein's creation, a werewolf, a mummy, and a gill-man. It was a great idea for a cool monster movie, but the execution failed to live up to the concept. The result was rather like a redo of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, without the titular comedians to deliver the jokes. Unfortunately, not only was THE MONSTER SQUAD not as funny it wasn't as funny as the comic duo's 1948 spoof; it also was not as scary.
Nevertheless, despite disappinting box office returns during its original release, THE MONSTER SQUAD has earned some good will in the intervening decades, so much so that some view the potential remake as an affront. Personally, I find it easy to believe that the concept could yield a film much better than the one we actually got.
Whether Rob Cohen is the director to deliver such a film is another matter. His directing career showed promise with his early films DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY and DRAGONHEART, but his more recent efforts feel more like impersonal studio hackwork. His most recent big-budget fantasy film, THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR, was a competent popcorn movie, most notable for wasting the talents of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. If he does direct a MONSTER SQUAD remake, I hope he can bring back some of the old panache he showed in his earlier films.

Elected officials to release schedules
November 11, 2013
Gov. Brian Sandoval and other top Nevada statewide elected officials will begin releasing their public schedules.
Nevada Press Association Executive Director Barry Smith says the public release of the schedules is "a matter of transparency" and should help Nevadans better understand what their elected officials are doing.
The new practice comes after the Las Vegas Sun asked the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer and controller to provide a weekly calendar to the public.
The Sun reports no Nevada office routinely released such information, and the practice exists in many other states. At least a dozen governors in other states display calendars online.
Beginning this week, Sandoval plans to email a weekly schedule to the state's news media and Secretary of State Ross Miller plans to display his public schedule on his office's website.
Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and Treasurer Kate Marshall plan to publicly release their schedules in coming weeks.

Controller Kim Wallin already has published a two-month public schedule on her website, and a staff member said the office will update it as new events are added.

Altairnano Ramps Up Lithium-Ion Battery Work
30 September 2005
Altair Nanotechnologies has expanded its research, product development, manufacturing and marketing groups with the addition of eleven advanced battery scientists, engineers, manufacturing and marketing specialists.
The mission of the enlarged battery team is to accelerate the development of Altairnano's nano-structured battery electrode materials and provide new capabilities to manufacture in-house prototype lithium-ion cells, batteries and battery packs and increase testing capabilities.
Altairnano is looking into combining its nano titanate spinel electrode materials (earlier post) with other materials that utilize manganese or iron phosphate (as compared to other batteries containing lead, acid, cobalt, cadmium, nickel and so on).
Additionally, in contrast with graphite electrodes currently used in lithium-ion batteries, the nano titanium-based anodes are expected to safely operate in the thermodynamically stable voltage window of available existing electrolytes. The ionic transport capacity through the nano-structured materials provides high charge and discharge rates resulting in high power ratings when needed.
Testing with Altairnano's electrodes has shown a reduction in recharge time to up to one-sixth.

Gardening for Fresh Vegetables
By Hank Smith
A recent national survey reveals that 57% of gardeners surveyed have started growing vegetables in recent years or have increased the size of their vegetable plantings. Among the most common reasons given were: "Makes the budget go further;" "Vegetable prices are increasing constantly;" and "Growing vegetables is just as relaxing as growing flowers." The sale of vegetable seed and plants has shown a marked increase in recent years.

- Soil should be dry before it is turned, loosened and amended without compacting and leaving it in hard-to-work-with clods. To judge if soil is dry enough, pick up a handful and squeeze it in your palm. Then drop it. If the soil breaks up, it can be worked. If the handful remains a clod, wait to "work" the soil. Even if garden soil was turned over in the fall, till it again if the ground is dry enough and weather is warm enough. The extra tilling will expose overwintering harmful insects to the killing cold.
- Also, spade lime into the soil if it's needed. Lime requires several weeks to become chemically incorporated into the soil.
- Small-scale flowering trees and low-growing shrubs can put a natural picture frame around a house when viewed from the street.
- A lawn can be shrunk by replacing turfgrass with drought-tolerant groundcovers such as creeping junipers and wormwood. In addition, Carolina jessamine vine and English ivy can be trained into groundcovers.
- Cut back cold-damaged liriope foliage. Avoid tipping new growth, or there will be brown edges for the year to come. If pruning is done now, use hedge shears or a mower set at its highest setting. Pruning later will mean cutting by hand.
- Nasturtium grows rapidly and produces showy, round leaves and brightly-colored flowers. These help to "mask" bulb foliages as they mature, and produce food to store for next year's blooms.
- Phlox drummondi doesn't like to be transplanted. It should be grown in peat pots or pots made of pressed nutrients through which tender roots can penetrate after pots are set in the soil outdoors.
- By studied planning and careful rotation of flowering plants from a commercial grower, it's possible to achieve a major landscape triumph in a small garden spot.
- Chrysanthemums have become a year-round flower, instead of an autumn-only beauty. This is accomplished by growing plants in the dark for controlled periods, which forces them into bloom out of their natural season.
- Crape myrtle trees and shrubs are some of the most popular plants in Southern gardens. When blooms fade, clip them from the plant. New panicles of flowers will form.

Review for Angel Flight Soars Inc, Atlanta, GA, USA
I can not emphasize what a difference this organization has made in our lives as well as other families. My daughter was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer at age 14. She needed to see the best drs in the country and without Angel Flight, that would not have been possible. She has been to the best and because of them getting us to all these wonderful drs in CT, NY and TX she is still with us after 6 1/2 yrs of fighting. I know if she ever needs to get to the best medical care available, Angel Flight will get us there. God bless these wonderful people for all they do for those in need, fighting for their lives. Their are no words to express our gratitude to them yet they thank us for allowing them to provide their services. Truly amazing people and organization.

How to prepare
Preparation Strategy -
Make a proper Time Table
It is very important that you make a timetable and stick to it and you will have an exact idea of what you are required to study and the time required for it.
Concept clarity rather than routes learning
It is essential that you have a clear idea of the formulas and concepts rather than rote learning of things for the papers. While you might require it for memorizing formulas it is important that for other stuff you make sure you clear your basis and concepts before moving on.
Prepare Notes
It is very important to make small notes or a comprehensive list of formulas on each covered topic and chapter which will come in handy at the time of revision. This will require you to be regular with your work but will surely make things easy at the time of revision.
Revision of Class XI and XII concepts
Make sure that you revise your concepts from the syllabus of these classes before starting anything new as most of the engineering exams will be for admission to undergraduate courses and so the syllabi from class XI and XII becomes the testing ground to check students.
Seek guidance
It is not possible for you to know everything in your syllabus, at least not at the time of preparation. Sooner or later you will run into a concept or so which will give you trouble and then it is best you seek guidance from an instructor or a teacher. It is necessary that you clear your doubts at regular intervals and don't prolong things for long. Getting into a good coaching class is nothing to be ashamed off and if anything a regular coaching class will enable you to avoid roadblocks in your preparation.
Sample Papers
Even though there may be a complete change in the exam pattern or the expected questions altogether,it is important that you practice on the sample and previous years question papers available for the engineering exam you'd be attempting. You will know the existing pattern and have a fair idea of the type of questions to expect in the paper along with the time constraint.
Mock tests
The paper pattern, duration of the paper and the number of questions to be attempted in the given amount of time is not something you will be able to pick up on the day of the examination. A Mock Test tests a student's abilities as it not only provides a similar feel of real exams but also helps in building speed and confident to face the exam. Furthermore, they can improve their performance to get an extra edge in actual exams. Try to build up an Engineering Entrance Exam Test Prep MCQ Question Bank
Time management
Time management can be learned through thorough practice and regular test taking. So it is important that you practice it and practice it well.
Negative marking
Most the entrance examinations will have negative marking and everyone would suggest you stay clear of questions are not sure about. But some experts are of the opinion that you answer the questions in which you are confused between an option or two because there will also be a chance of getting it right.
Important Instructions
Examinations for all the 23 papers (disciplines) will be conducted by an ONLINE Computer Based Test (CBT). A candidate can appear only in any one paper of the GATE examination.
The online examination paper will contain some questions for which numerical answers must be keyed in by the candidate using the virtual keypad.
Rest of the questions shall be of Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) type.
A virtual on-screen calculator only shall be used during the examination.
The candidates shall use the ONLY virtual calculator to be provided by GATE.
Physical calculator, mobile phone and wrist watches with calculation facility are strictly prohibited and candidates possessing these in the examination hall (even if not using) shall be disqualified.
Biometric information (Photograph and Fingerprints) for randomly selected candidates may be captured before the start of the examination.
The candidate has to appear at the GATE Examination Center on the date and time specified in the admit card; no request for any change in Center or Date/Time shall be entertained. Similarly, this being an examination body with certain constraints, candidates needing very special or specific facility for the exam may not be entertained.
For GATE the entire process of filling up of an application form, uploading of certificates/documents etc., shall be online only and the candidates should not send any hard copy of his/her application form/documents etc., to IITR or any of the IIT's zonal GATE office.
The payment of application fees would be through electronic mode; online as well as through payment at bank counters using e-challan.
The admit cards for GATE would be available through the online process only. Candidates can download their admit card from GATE website.

"This green juice powder ROCKS! I have been a picky eater most of my life and just started making green juice a few months ago. It took some time to get used to it and I was concerned about trying a powder, worried that it would taste too "green" (like grass!) This powder was surprisingly good, with a mild sweetness and a hint of mint. It's very fine and blends easily with water and a spoon. I also love using it to make green smoothies, which I really haven't been able to tolerate the taste of until I made them with the Organifi powder. I am so excited to have a quick, easy and delicious alternative to juicing!"results may vary *Disclaimer

McCray v. Spector Doc. 26 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS DALLAS DIVISION STEWART McCRAY, Plaintiff, VS. HOWARD MARC SPECTOR, in his official capacity as Receiver, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:12-CV-0169-G MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Before the court is the defendant's motion to abstain and dismiss, or in the alternative, to stay the proceeding (docket entry 13). For the reasons set forth below, the motion is granted. I. BACKGROUND This case arises out of a divorce dispute in state court. The plaintiff, Stewart McCray ("McCray"), was the husband of Nikki Slaughter McCray ("Slaughter McCray"). Plaintiff's Verified Complaint ("Complaint") ¶¶ 2, 7 (docket entry 1). The defendant, Howard Marc Spector ("Spector"), serves as a court-appointed receiver in the state court divorce proceedings. Id. ¶¶ 3, 5. Dockets.Justia.com McCray and Slaughter McCray were married in October of 2004. Id. ¶ 7. On February 12, 2009, McCray filed for divorce. Id. The Texas district court ordered the appointment of Spector as a receiver in the divorce proceedings in March of 2011. Id. ¶¶ 16, 20-21. These proceedings are still pending. Memorandum in Support of Defendant Howard Marc Spector's Motion to Abstain and Dismiss, or in the Alternative, Stay this Proceeding ("Motion Brief") at 2 (docket entry 14). On January 6, 2012, McCray learned that Spector intended to seize two accounts with Gilder, Gagnon, and Howe ("the Guilder accounts"). Complaint ¶ 24. McCray claims that he and his mother own the Guilder accounts as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Id. McCray contends that these accounts are pre-marital assets and therefore not subject to property division in divorce proceedings under Texas law. Id. ¶ 25. In addition, the plaintiff appealed the decision to appoint a receiver to the state court of appeals. Motion Brief at 3. The court of appeals has since affirmed the district court's decision to appoint a receiver. Id. at 4. The court of appeals also considered, and rejected, McCray's argument that Spector was not entitled to take control of the Guilder accounts. Id. On January 18, 2012, Spector filed this suit under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988. Complaint ¶ 1. McCray maintains that Spector's actions violate his property rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Id. ¶ -2- 30. On the same day, Spector filed a motion for temporary restraining order. Motion for Temporary Restraining Order at 1-2 (docket entry 2). The court denied this motion. Order of January 25, 2012 (docket entry 7). The defendant has since filed the instant motion to abstain and dismiss, or in the alternative, to stay this proceeding. Defendant Howard Marc Spector's Motion to Abstain and Dismiss or, in the Alternative, Stay this Proceeding ("Motion") at 1 (docket entry 13). II. ANALYSIS The Supreme Court established a doctrine of mandatory abstention for federal courts in Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971). Under Younger abstention, federal courts must abstain when "federal jurisdiction has been invoked for the purpose of restraining state criminal proceedings." Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 816 (1976). In subsequent cases, the Supreme Court expanded Younger abstention to apply in civil cases as well. Pennzoil Company v. Texaco, Inc., 481 U.S. 1, 11 (1987). The goal of Younger abstention is to protect "Our Federalism," which is the notion that "the National Government will fare best if the States and their institutions are left free to perform their separate functions in their separate ways." Younger, 401 U.S. at 44. The Supreme Court has developed a three-part test to help determine when a federal court must employ Younger abstention. Middlesex County Ethics Commission v. Garden State Bar Association, 457 U.S. 423, 432 (1982). Under this test, a federal -3- court should abstain (1) when there is an ongoing state judicial proceeding, (2) when the proceedings implicate important state interests, and (3) when there is an adequate opportunity in the state proceedings to raise constitutional challenges. Id. In this case, it is clear that this court should dismiss this case under Younger abstention. First, the state court divorce proceeding is an ongoing state judicial proceeding. The divorce proceeding has dealt with, and continues to deal with, the constitutional issues that the plaintiff has raised in his federal case. Second, the province of family relations is an important and traditional area of state, and not federal, concern. Finally, there is no reason to believe that the Texas state court system cannot provide McCray with an adequate opportunity to raise his constitutional challenges. III. CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth above, the defendant's motion to dismiss is GRANTED. Judgment will be entered dismissing this case. SO ORDERED. May 3, 2012. ___________________________________ A. JOE FISH Senior United States District Judge -4-

SANTIAGO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - A key piece of equipment that has had a troubled start-up at Codelco's Ministro Hales mine will undergo repair work this month to improve its capacity from 70 percent currently to at least 90 percent, the Chilean state copper miner said Thursday.
The roaster, designed to reduce levels of arsenic in the mine's ore to make copper concentrate saleable for the global market, has had technical issues that prompted the world no.1 copper producer Codelco to cancel some sales to China earlier this year.
Running now at 70 percent capacity, the roaster will undergo a programmed maintenance in November, involving some repairs and some changing of equipment, that will allow capacity to jump to at least 90 percent, Codelco said.
The roaster was made by Finland's Outotec, which will - under contractual obligations - cover any costs relating to fixing the equipment, Codelco told Reuters last month.
Both state-run Codelco and Chile rely on new mines like Ministro Hales to keep copper supply growing, but face significant issues, including poor ore grades and high energy costs.

An end-to-end solution for reducing non-technical losses by 50% in less than 3 years.
An end-to-end solution for reducing non-technical losses by 50% in less than 3 years.
TGI - True Grid Intelligence - is a combination of software, methodology and IoT devices that helps utilities find problems on the grid faster.
It blends in-grid data – real values that reflect the actual operating conditions of an electrical distribution network – with an advanced analytics engine. TGI divides the grid into meaningful segments, and prioritizes those segments by risk level based on informed parameters. TGI ranks the highest risk grid segments so utilities can focus investigations much more efficiently and enables grid operators to look deeper into operational conditions to find a variety of problems:
In-grid data analytics to reduce theft, balance phases, improve efficiency and increase safety. We use our proprietary solution to analyse grid losses and target theft, non-technical losses and other power drains.
In-grid data analytics to reduce theft, balance phases, improve efficiency and increase safety. We use our proprietary solution to analyse grid losses and target theft, non-technical losses and other power drains.
Awesense's TGI software provides an accurate understanding of the distribution grid, and helps reduce outages and financial loss due to unknown losses and theft. TGI software offers a comprehensive and systematic approach, using true grid data to:
Utilities cannot permanently install monitoring devices everywhere that theft or other losses might occur - it is not economically feasible. And purely analytics solutions relying on meter data miss all the in-grid data. TGI solves the problem. TGI applies a rigorous, systematic approach to reducing losses, improving operational efficiency and contributing to the bottom line.
Like most analytics software, TGI software can integrate data from multiple sources to perform its analysis:
An important advantage of the TGI platform is that you don't need ALL these systems in place to begin finding losses. Our customers that do not yet have AMI are still able to find up to 50% of their losses in about 3 years. The more data TGI has the better, but TGI can delivers results based on in-grid data even in grids with limited investment in smart grid technologies.
Our methodology, based on the identification, analysis and management of risk has its roots in the finance and insurance sectors. Predicting risk, setting goals, and measuring success drives ongoing steady improvement - in any sector.
Rugged, portable IoT-enabled sensors allow us to collect in-grid data and obtain accurate measurements.
Rugged, portable IoT-enabled sensors allow us to collect in-grid data and obtain accurate measurements.
The TGI Raptor series are portable, easily deployed high accuracy IoT sensors with integrated wireless communication. Designed to work with TGI software out-of -the-box, these sensors collect in-grid data which flows into the TGI software and helps utilities:
The TGI Raptors are designed for easy deployment and re-deployment on live electrical cables to measure and report on live line loading conditions. Single-phase raptors can be installed and removed from the ground by a single person, without service disruption. Readings are viewable immediately on your laptop or tablet.
TGI Raptors transmit collected data via cellular network or self-healing RF Mesh radio network. The cellular schedule is automatically optimized based on power consumption and battery levels.
Awesense works with other manufacturers to TGI-enable their devices and provide additional sources of in-grid data.
Our list of "out-of-the-box" supported devices is always growing so please get in touch if you have questions.
Even if a device is not supported out of the box, Awesense can build interfaces between TGI to maximize the amount of in-grid data available.
Awesense works closely with your utility to integrate data sources, prioritize risky grid segments and launch your system.
Awesense works closely with your utility to integrate data sources, prioritize risky grid segments and launch your system.
Awesense works with distribution utilities in North America, Eastern Europe, and Africa to implement the TGI system. Our data scientists, engineers and project managers are dedicated to integrating TGI with your existing systems and providing value as quickly as possible. We work together with your teams to combine our experience and best practices with your local grid knowledge.
Every utility has its own unique characteristics - and TGI works best when it has access to these parameters. We provide training to your staff so they can get the most out of the system and we offer on-going support to ensure TGI continues to reduce losses and deliver value.
In many cases, Awesense begins with a proof of concept phase to demonstrate the effectiveness of TGI prior to a full deployment. We will work with your team to jointly execute the TGI performance cycle until objectives are met and your team is fully trained and self-sufficient.
TGI is delivered as a cloud-based Saas offering, so there is no IT infrastructure overhead.
Awesense provides software training to ensure your team develops mastery of their TGI installation:
We also supply training to field investigators on TGI sensors:
Your success with the TGI system is our highest priority. We offer support via telephone and email and can assist our customers in a range of languages:

WHITE'S GROVE, TEXAS. White's Grove, a school community, was located in central Collin County just west of the present city limits of McKinney and north of Farm Road 720. White's Grove School opened by 1880 and was still operating after the turn of the century, but soon afterward it ceased to exist. The school apparently was the only community institution.

It's bullying, Mitt. How can you not recall it?
You're a perpetrator, a victim or a bystander. The playground incident tells us much about the presidential hopeful
William Golding's Lord of the Flies remains the most powerful depiction of bullying in literature. When a group of British schoolboys try to govern themselves on a deserted island, Jack, the charismatic, power- hungry head choirboy, seeks control over the others. "I ought to be chief," he says. "Who will join my tribe?"
Under Jack's autocratic rule, the primal ferocity of human nature is laid bare and Piggy, asthmatic, overweight, short-sighted and wise, becomes an outcast. Piggy personifies tolerance and order. "Which is better — to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?" he pleads. As Jack leads his tribe into a frenzy of violence, Piggy is mocked, ostracised and finally killed.
Golding, a Second World War veteran, had witnessed the rise of…

RACE was a factor in the death of an unarmed black US teen by a volunteer watchman recently acquitted in his killing, the victim's father said.
Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was fatally shot on the rainy night of February 26, 2012, as he walked through a quiet Florida community.
His shooter, self-appointed neighbourhood watchman George Zimmerman, said he acted in self-defence. A jury acquitted him this past weekend.
The case, which sparked protests, is widely regarded as the most racially sensitive issue in the United States since President Barack Obama entered the White House.
"I think that, if Trayvon had been white, this wouldn't have happened,'' the teen's father Tracy Martin said in an interview on NBC's Today show. "So, obviously, race played some type of role.''
"We felt in our hearts that we were going to get a conviction,'' Martin said. "We felt that the killer of our unarmed child was going to be convicted of the crime he committed.''
Sybrina Fulton questioned whether jurors looked at the shooting from her son's point of view.
"He was a teenager. He was scared. He did run,'' Ms Fulton said, who added that she believes the justice system failed her son.
"We didn't get the verdict we wanted because we wanted him to be (held) accountable.''
Martin's father, Tracy Martin, expressed disbelief in the verdict handed down Saturday by a six-woman jury following a three-week trial in central Florida.
On US ABC's Good Morning America, Tracy Martin said he felt the jury did not get a chance to get to know the teen. "They didn't know him as a human being,'' he said.
Martin's parents said they still believe Mr Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, racially profiled their son.
"Obviously, any time you have a person that makes an assumption that a person is up to no good, that's some kind of profiling,'' Mr Martin said.
Martin's parents said they support the federal government looking into the case. The Justice Department announced on Sunday it plans to review the case to determine whether federal prosecutors should file criminal civil rights charges now that Mr Zimmerman has been acquitted.
Mr Zimmerman, who was charged with second-degree murder, claimed he shot Martin in self-defence.
Martin's mother said she believes the verdict sends a "terrible message to other little black and brown boys.''
"They can't walk fast. They can't walk slow. So what do they do? How do they get home without people assuming you are doing something wrong?,'' Ms Fulton said.
Ms Fulton told CBS This Morning her son was not a burglar.
"He simply went to the store and was headed back home,'' she said. "And for somebody to look at him and perceive that he was a burglar, that was the problem that initiated everything.''

One minute he was preparing to purchase academic textbooks, only to find himself getting re-acquainted with football's playbook.
Life as a football player has taught Ronald Flemons many lessons, perhaps the most important being an ability to adjust on the run.
A final training camp casualty by the Argos, Flemons has resurfaced in Double Blue, hoping to inject some enthusiasm into a team riddled with injuries.
"It's just exciting to play football again," Flemons said yesterday. "I feel fresh and I've felt pretty good in practice, but I know it's not the same speed playing in a game."
Barring an injury, which wouldn't surprise anyone in Argoland given the team's recent spate, Flemons will line up at defensive end for Saturday's game in Regina.
Incumbent Eric England hurt his leg during practice this week, while backup Isaac Hilton, who essentially beat out Flemons for the third import spot on the defensive line, has left the team for personal reasons.
Flemons has practised with the first unit since he was summoned from his home in San Antonio.
Flemons has NFL experience and was told by the Argos to be ready just in case they needed a healthy body.
While several teams asked about his availability, Flemons figured his time would be better spent getting ready to attend fall classes with the hope of completing his degree in agriculture, a field he embraced at Texas A&M.
"But when the Argos called, I was eager to return," the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Flemons said. "I know the basic terminology, but the schemes change week to week."
Assistant general manager Greg Mohns has followed Flemons' career and has always been impressed with Flemons' body type.
"He has an explosive first step," Mohns said. "For a tall guy, he plays with exceptional leverage. He has a great motor and can run sideline to sideline."

The boy-girl indie rock groups we're most likely to imagine naked.
1. Matt & Kim
Status: Unclear
Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino have so much bouncy energy it's hard to believe they're not expending it on each other every night — or perhaps they are, or maybe they're just too tired after performing their hyper-kinetic live shows. They dated in college and then formed a band, but as for now their relationship status remains ambiguous. As as far as platonic (or not) pals go, they're definitely comfortable seeing each other naked, considering they stripped their way through the streets of Times Square in their video for "Lessons Learned."
2. Jenny and Johnny
Status: Sleeping together
Their debut album released earlier this year is called I'm Having Fun Now, and we bet they are. Because let's face it, if you were in a band with Jenny Lewis, you'd be sleeping with her too. (We did vote her the nineteenth sexiest frontwomen in rock after all). Unfortunately for us, Johnathan Rice is the only guy who gets that honor. But at least we get some twangy folk songs out of their relationship. As far as consolation prizes go, that's not so bad.
3. Mates of State
Status: Married with kids
Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel have been married for nearly a decade and still emanate the sunny optimism of newlyweds. These two are almost as painfully adorable as their music — a hyper cavalcade of synth-pop (pretty much the sonic equivalent of kittens sliding down rainbows). To add to the tweeness, she's even been known to perform while eight months pregnant, no easy feat when you're pounding the keyboards and belting your heart out to a crowd of sweaty (likely single) indie kids.
4. Beach House
Status: Just friends
Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally are more likely to put each other to sleep rather than you know, actually sleep together. Not that's necessarily a bad thing. It's just that their music is so ethereal and atmospheric, with organ drones and shrouded reverb, that it can almost lull you into unconsciousness. Luckily, Victoria's haunting, Nico-like vocals keep us awake and wanting to hear more from this charmingly spacy duo.
5. Sleigh Bells
Status: Just Friends
As Sleigh Bells, Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss make music that's almost as explosive as their chemistry. On their debut album Treats, he crafts abrasive beats with amped-up distortion while she playfully coos cheerleader chants and sweet-nothings in her ultra-girly voice. Together they create an aural assault that's about as surprising and seductive as finding out the bookish girl two cubicles down is really into S&M. Yet while they may excel at making boning music, amazingly, they're not boning each other. We find that hard to believe, especially given how hot Alexis looks wielding a baseball bat in a schoolgirl outfit.
6. She & Him
Status: Married (but not to each other)
More than enough has been written about indie dreamboat Zooey Deschanel's classic come-hither good looks, but she's also a pretty good singer-songwriter. Luckily, guitarist/producer M. Ward brings more than his share of musical talent to the equation. The pair might sing some love-lorn duets (take their cover of Smokey Robinson's "You Really Got a Hold on Me" for instance) but these two are keeping it on a strictly professional level. Zooey's taken after all, married to the equally endearing (or annoying, depending on who you ask) indie dreamboat, Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard.
7. Phantogram
Status: Just Friends
Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter have been friends — and only friends — since high school, or so they claim. Regardless of their relationship status, one thing's for certain — their creative partnership has lead to some of the freakiest trip-hop we've heard in a while. (Yes, trip-hop still exists.) The band, which released its first album this year, manages to combine electronic beats with eerie psych-rock reverb in a strangely refreshing way. Let's hope they stay friends, or whatever, for a lot longer.

A Leland High School vice principal arrested Thursday on a sex charge was out of custody Friday and isn't expected to be charged or appear in court until June, according to public records.
Joseph Reghitto, 32, vice principal of activities, posted $100,000 bond and has left Santa Clara County Jail. His next court date is scheduled for June 16.
San Jose police arrested Reghitto at Leland High on suspicion of having unlawful sexual content with a minor -- a student -- in September. That report came to police on Wednesday, the day before Reghitto's arrest.
NBC Bay Area, which reported the story first, tried to reach Reghitto at home and by phone with no success. On Thursday, Reghitto declined the opportunity for a jailhouse interview.
At least one parent told NBC Bay Area that both she and her daughter liked Reghitto and had no problem with him.
A retired principal will be taking Reghitto's place for now, according to the San Jose Unified School District.

U.S. Coast Guard seized 2,300 pounds of marijuana and 886 pound of cocaine, which had been caught in two separate incidents last month, authorities said.
In the first, Coast Guard officials boarded a 160-foot Bolivian-flagged freighter northeast of Panama on Oct. 14. Authorities say they found 886 pounds of cocaine inside the vessel.
The contraband was seized by investigators. Nearly two weeks later, on Oct. 26, the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Gallatin spotted a 30-foot go-fast vessel in the Caribbean.
The Coast Guard crew interdicted the boat and found 2,300 pounds of marijuana onboard.
The contraband was offloaded at the Coast Guard Sector Key West on Tuesday.

The Manchurians, The Downbeat 5, Big Fat Combo
Cafe Nine
250 State Street
New Haven, CT, 06511
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
The Manchurians
The Manchurians formed in 1999, in a damp cellar located on the Branford River Delta, carving a hard edged, blues based rock n' roll sound...a sound that would reverberate around the world and catch the attention of Buddy Guy, BB King, Johnny Winter, and the heir to Albert King, Michael Burks, among others, who have recorded from The Manchurians' guitar/harmonica/maracas infused, twice Grammy -nominated catalog...Today, they remain hardy crusaders for a sound that is as real as it is honest...and totally fab, baby.
The Downbeat 5
The Downbeat 5 are a Boston-based rock band started in 1999 by former DMZ guitarist J. J. Rassler and Jen D'Angora. The band's music draws on 1960s girl group sounds, garage rock, and rougher-edged British Invasion bands like The Rolling Stones.
In 2003, the band made it as far as the semi-finals of the 25th annual WBCN Rock & Roll Rumble.The following year, they placed in the finals of Little Steven's Underground Garage battle of the bands, with Little Steven remaining a strong supporter afterwards.
Big Fat Combo
"Big Fat Combo is a super cool band- it's hard to put it any other way. They play rootsy American music, mixing well crafted originals with a surprising pick of left field cover tunes. A solid rhythm section featuring stand up bass, a charismatic hero-type front man and a guitarist who makes the most wonderful bunch of noises come out of his instrument, all combine to a groovy rock experience.. Their debut CD may be taking longer to finish than the latest Axl Rose piece, but it will be worth the wait."
Influences include Link Wray, Ramones, Eddy Arnold, Ropeburns Russell, Elvis, Sons of the Pioneers, The Ventures

Man United striker Robin van Persie scores a super volley for Holland v Ecuador [Vines]
Manchester United striker Robin van Persie showed that his sharpness is back to top levels on Saturday night when he scored the leveller against Ecuador.
Holland, under the management of soon-to-be Man United coach Louis van Gaal, fell behind to the South Americans, but they levelled with a brilliant goal.
Feyenoord midfielder Jordy Classie pinged a superb pass to van Persie, who was ghosting into the Ecuador box on the blind side of his covering centre-back, and when the ball reached int's destination the United man controlled it on his chest, and hit a volley on the turn to equalise.
Watch Robin van Persie super volley for Holland v Ecuador below.

Yahoo just released My Web 2.0 yesterday and brings a whole new dimension to search.
My Web 2.0 is a social search engine. Yahoo combines the power of search technology and the power of personal networks to deliver a search engine that is based upon your trusted community. Web 2.0 searches your trusted network of contacts for pages that you and your contacts have saved.
With the release of My Web 2.0, Yahoo has added a ton of new features – all based upon community based searching and extending personal networks.
Getting Started with My Web 2.0 Beta
There are three steps to getting started with My Web 2.0:
- Activate My Web 2.0 Beta.
- Import your bookmarks.
- Add friends to your community and start sharing what you know.
First off click here and active My Web 2.0. If you are already using My Web 1.0 and you are afraid of upgrading, don't worry because you can always switch back by going to the Search Preference page.
After activating My Web 2.0, you will want to import your bookmarks. Yahoo gives you two options for importing, you can import bookmarks from Internet Explorer and Yahoo! Bookmarks and you can also import links from RSS feeds. I really like the ability to import links from RSS feeds – Yahoo has always been ahead of its competition with regards to RSS.
The last step is the most important. Without any friends in your community, there is not much benefit to using a social search engine. So after you active My Web 2.0, start inviting people to your community. Remember that your community determines the trust network, so invite people you think have the same concept of relevancy as you do. The more contacts you add and the more pages you save – the more you'll be able to share what you know and discover better answers from your network.
Searching My Web 2.0 is very straightforward. The My Web 2.0 home page features a search form at the top of the page, allowing you to search My Web or the entire web. Beneath this is a small dashboard displaying information from your personal web, your community, and the global community. The dashboard gives you a fast overview of saved pages, tags, and contacts.
Tapping Into Shared Knowledge
A search in My Web 2.0 will bring up a search result page that looks like Yahoo's current search result page – but the information displayed is totally different. Search results in My Web 2.0 are derived solely from your community. The search result page displays results from your own personal saved pages and your community's saved pages. Your own personal pages are displayed above your community's pages.
Above the search results are three tabs and each displays a different view. Each of the views can be filtered by personal web, community, or everyone.
- Pages – web pages that people have saved.
- Tags – labels that people use to describe saved pages.
- Contacts – group of contacts within a community.
The "Pages" view displays a list of your saved pages and the information corresponding to each saved page:
- Title of Page – this is user defined
- Person sharing the page
- Tags associated with the page
- Page access (personal, community, everyone)
- Date the page was saved
- Email or IM the page to a friend
- Delete the page
- Sort the page by date, title, or url
The "Tags" and "Contacts" views are very similar to the "Pages" view except they display tagging and contact information. You can navigate through any of the links in the views to see related results. For example, clicking on a contact will allow you to see that contact's saved pages, tags and the people that contact is connected to. Same goes for clicking on a tag.
My Web 2.0 APIs
In conjunction with the My Web 2.0 release, Yahoo has also opened up access to MyWeb 2.0 Webservices. The public functions of MyWeb 2.0 are available through the web services API. You can use this API to search for URLs that have been tagged by a particular tag, search for tags, including views by URL and by user, or find tags that appear together on URLs.
Using the API you can create an application that will be able to discover what words people label a page as – great way to determine relevancy and page topic.
Very cool.
Future Features
Yahoo has already talked about adding new features to My Web 2.0:
Groups, in which you may share frog links with your herpetology pals
Invite process will be dekludgified
Unidirectional relationships, since we know you're so popular more people want to know you than you want to know
Improved performance: faster, faster, faster, woo!
More integrated structured tagging. We've got location, event and people tagging, and these will be baked into the UI.
Better collaboration tools of many varieties
My Web 2.0 is the Future
Since this is Yahoo, their massive user base will translate into a huge network effect. As more people use the service, the more invaluable it becomes for everyone. Why does this matter? We are seeing a transition from old school search engines to new more personal engines – search engine marketers will need to adapt and develop new techniques to stay afloat.
I can see search engine marketing and buzz/viral marketing combining in some areas in the future.
My Web 2.0 is a big innovation from Yahoo and I expect to see more efforts from Yahoo and its competitors to personalize search.

Emma Roberts Style 2010-12-28 07:30:22
Celeb Style: Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts rocked a casual but oh-so-cute outfit on a recent shopping trip in West Hollywood. Of note are her suede booties and breton-striped sweater, but her black braided hobo, plastic aviators, and skinny jeans are worth purchasing too. A basic brown shopping bag will make the look complete. Get it all now.


text: I've been searching for days and I haven't found much. I'm trying to differentiate between sealed and ported cabs. Is this correct: Sealed needs more drivers for more volume. Ported needs less drivers due to the port designs. It seems that I'm seeing less sealed 810's on stage and more ported 412's, ported 610's and those fearful designs that have multiple size drivers. For example: The ampeg 610 vs 810 (tuning totally aside, that's irrelevant to me for what I want to understand) can put out the similar volume but the 810 needs the extra drivers due to it being a sealed design? I'm really trying to understand, if anyone could put it in laymans terms for me.

Shares gloom deepens
European stock markets have extended their recent losses as fresh economic data dampened early hopes of a revival for US shares.
A host of stock markets - from London to Tokyo to America's technology-dominated Nasdaq - are all back at levels of two years ago.
Any hopes of a bright start in New York on Wednesday floundered as higher than expected inflation data for January sparked fresh worries about prospects for the world's biggest economy.
All three key US share indexes plummeted on Wednesday afternoon, after directionless trade in the morning.
Spiralling down
The flat start on Wall Street had helped European markets trim their early heavy losses, with London's benchmark FTSE 100 index closing 7.7 points down at 5972.4, its lowest level since April 2000.
In Germany and France the benchmark indexes both closed over 1% down - Frankfurt's Dax down 103.58 at 6,347.99 and the Paris Cac 40 down 110.38 to a new 13 month low of 5,474.37
That followed the overnight fall in Tokyo shares which pushed Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index to 28-month lows as it closed at 13,100.1.
The Dow Jones closed 204.3 points lower at 10,526.58 points, while the Nasdaq declined 2.13% to fall to 2268.93.
And the Standard and Poors futures index completed the bearish picture, closing 23.67 points lower at 1255.27.
The latest gloom began on New York's technology dominated Nasdaq stock market, which fell more than 4.4% on Tuesday.
FTSE below 6,000
Apart from one day in January, that was the lowest close for the Nasdaq since May 1999. It had fallen 5% on Friday, its previous day of trading.
That has hit consumer confidence, sending shudders through the world's biggest economy and pulling down company valuations across the world.
The effect was market in London where the FTSE 100 index closed below the key 6,000 level on Tuesday and Wednesday for the first time since April 2000.
US malaise
This built on the existing pressures.
John Forelli, senior vice president at Independence Investment Associates said: "Earnings have come in weak and it seems like investors are losing confidence that Corporate America is going to pull us out of this slowdown.
"They are focusing more on the consumer doing it now."
