Senator Tiny Kox Thought Russia's Presidential Election Was Fixed
The New York Times today has a story about the "flaws" in the Russian presidential election, won yesterday by (surprise!) Vladimir Putin. Election observers, report David M. Herszenhorn, "issued a harsh critique" of Putin's "preordained and unfair" victory.
But if we're talking flaws, Mr. Herszenhorn, then let's talk about burying the lede in this story of yours! Five paragraphs in, we hear from a Netherlands senator:
Tiny Kox, a senator from the Netherlands who led another delegation, said, "The conditions of the campaign were clearly skewed in the favor of one candidate."
Tiny Kox! Tiny Kox is a real person. Do the Dutch know how fantastic it is that they have an elected official named Tiny Kox? We're so desperate for something similar that we just went ahead and made one of our politician's names a dirty word ourselves. The Netherlands had better be making good use of this Tiny Kox.

Latest Infectious Disease News
WEDNESDAY, Aug. 20, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- New research reveals that, long ago, sea mammals may have played a role in the global spread of the infectious disease known as tuberculosis.
Ancient strains of tuberculosis spread from people in Africa to seals and sea lions, who then spread it to people in South America thousands of years ago, according to an international team of researchers.
"Tuberculosis is a disease that is on the rise again worldwide. This study and further research will help us understand how the disease is transmitted and how the disease may evolve," study collaborator Jane Buikstra, director of the Center for Bioarchaeological Research at Arizona State University, said in a university news release.
Along with offering new insight into one of the most persistent and deadliest infections, the findings may help improve understanding about how other infectious diseases -- such as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) and HIV -- are transmitted between species and how they spread, the researchers said.
The study team concluded that tuberculosis spread from people in Africa to seals and sea lions about 6,000 years ago. The sea mammals then carried the disease to South America and transmitted it to people there 5,000 years later.
However, those older strains of tuberculosis were completely replaced by other strains of the disease after Europeans arrived in the Americas. Modern tuberculosis strains are most closely related to those found in Europe, according to the report published Aug. 20 in the journal Nature.
"We found that the [older] tuberculosis strains were most closely related to strains in pinnipeds, which are seals and sea lions," Anne Stone, a professor in Arizona State University's School of Human Evolution and Social Change, said in the news release.
"What we found was really surprising. The ancient strains are distinct from any known human-adapted tuberculosis strain," she added.
Study co-first author Kelly Harkins pointed out in the news release that "it was a surprise for all of us to find that tuberculosis, formerly believed to have spread around the world with ancient human migration events, is in fact a relatively young disease." Harkins is a recent doctoral graduate from the university's Center for Bioarchaeological Research.
Another co-first author, Kirsten Bos, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tuebingen in Germany, added: "A compelling prospect for future research will be to determine the relationship of these older forms to those currently circulating, and those isolated from other ancient remains."
Tuberculosis kills 1 million to 2 million people worldwide each year. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets released into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Police say a 10-year-old boy escaped through the window of a minivan as his mother intentionally drove herself and three other children into New York's Hudson River.
A drenched and shaken Lashaun Armstrong stumbled into the Newburgh Fire Department at about 7:50 p.m. local time on Tuesday, police said.
"The boy reported that his mother had driven the car into the river," said Newburgh Police Chief Michael Ferrara.
It appeared the children were alive when the mother "intentionally drove the car into the river," he said.
Dead in the vehicle were LaShanda Armstrong, 25, her sons Landon Pierce, 5, and Lance Pierre, 2, and daughter, Lainaina Pierce, 11 months, authorities said.
Her son Lashaun, who has a different father from the three other children, escaped the submerged car by opening a window and was picked up by a passerby, who drove him to the fire department.
Authorities said the van was completely submerged on a dark and rainy night and, had the 10-year-old boy not found his way out, the disappearance of the family would likely have been labeled a missing persons case for quite some time.
Lashaun told firefighters his mother had driven off a boat ramp in Newburgh, about 60 miles north of New York City, and into the murky water of the river, Newburgh Fire Chief Michael Vatter said.
Firefighters and police officers responded with boats. Divers searched for the minivan for about an hour before finding it submerged 25 yards offshore in nearly 8 feet of water. They used a heavy-duty tow truck to pull it up the boat ramp and onto land.
"It's a horrible sight, all of them in the car," Ferrara said.
Altercation minutes beforeA short while before the child showed up at the fire station in dripping wet clothes, one of the mother's relatives had alerted police about a possible domestic dispute at Armstrong's home, Ferrara said.
"There was tussling in the background but also a history of domestic problems in the past," Ferrara said.
Authorities said the children's father, Jean Pierre, did not live in the home. They are seeking him for questioning, police said.
One neighbor, Jim Simeon, said he would often hear sounds of children playing in the home upstairs, but added he had not spoken to the family.
"The kids play, but not fighting ... It's terrible," .
'A good mom'Several neighbors on Wednesday recalled the woman as an attentive mother who balanced care of her children with an outside job at a warehouse. They were shocked by the news.
"She was a very good mom," said Tina Claybourne, who lives nearby. "She took care of her kids. She always was with her kids."
"This is the worst call I've been on in 12 years," a Newburgh city firefighter told the Hudson Valley Insider.
Mayor Nicholas Valentine said Newburgh, an impoverished and crime-ridden city located 60 miles north of New York City, was heartbroken by the deaths but vowed residents would pull together to heal.
"We are talking about a tragedy in this city that is probably second to none," said Valentine. "We are a tough city. We are a compassionate city. We are all one and if you need our help and assistance, we are here for that."
Newburgh, which has about 30,000 residents, sits on the western shore of the part of the river that runs south through New York state and eventually splits New York and New Jersey. The town is about 30 miles north of suburban Westchester County.
The incident is reminiscent of the case of a South Carolina woman who drowned her young sons in 1994.
Susan Smith is serving a life sentence for killing 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex by strapping them into their car seats and driving the car into a pond.
Smith first claimed she had been carjacked by an African-American man — an accusation that stoked racial tensions in the South — before the truth came out.

Story highlights
NEW: Duchess presents awards in striking, figure-hugging dress
Prince William's wife spent days in hospital suffering acute morning sickness
Catherine presented prizes at BBC's Sports Personality of the Year Awards in London
The Duchess of Cambridge attended her first public engagement since her pregnancy was announced this month, presenting prizes at a sports awards show Sunday evening in London.
Catherine appeared on stage at London's ExCel center to rousing applause, to present the awards at the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year show. She wore a striking, floor-length green dress that showed off her slim figure and featured a daring slit.
She handed over trophies for the night's two biggest awards: Sports Personality of the Year, which went to 2012 Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins; and the Lifetime Achievement honor, which went to Lord Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London 2012 Olympics organizing committee.
The duchess was last seen December 6 alongside her husband, Prince William, leaving the hospital where she had undergone several days of treatment for acute morning sickness.
Her stay at the King Edward VII Hospital was overshadowed by the apparent suicide of Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse who took a prank phone call from Australian DJs. The pair made the hoax call to the hospital, pretending to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles in an effort to find out details of Catherine's condition.
Catherine's illness had led the couple to announce her pregnancy earlier than the usual 12-week mark; the royal couple have not announced when their baby is due.
Health concerns have forced Catherine to pull out of several events in recent weeks, including the UK premiere of "The Hobbit" in London this week; Prince William attended the event alone.
CNN's Max Foster contributed to this report.

Many new technologies have come on the SQL Server market in the past five years, but only two have had the ability to greatly affect SQL Server DBAs and how they manage SQL Server—virtualization and cloud computing. Virtualization was originally avoided by much of the SQL Server community because, at the time, it was more difficult to virtualize SQL Server and virtualized SQL Server instances didn't provide the high level of performance necessary for production environments. However, the SQL Server virtualization market has greatly changed—virtualized SQL Server systems now offer great performance and provide incredible cost savings, since you need less storage hardware.
Cloud computing is the latest technology to come on the market that could change the way DBAs handle data and manage their SQL Server environments. "Cloud computing seems to be going through its incubation stage much as virtualization did in its early days," said Michael Otey in his December 2010 editorial "Will the Cloud Kill Virtualization?" It's interesting to hear what SQL Server experts have to say about cloud computing—most believe that cloud computing will eventually affect the way almost all DBAs handle their SQL Server environments. Why buy expensive hardware to hold your data when you can host it in the cloud instead? "The potential cost savings associated with cloud computing are simply too great to ignore. It has to work; therefore, people will find a way to make it work," said Brian Moran in his SQL Server Magazine UPDATE commentary "Cloud Computing: It's Not Quite Ready, but You Need to Be." Although it's hard to say which cloud computing vendor will come out on top, it would be smart for you to start learning how to migrate, and manage, data to the cloud. You might not ever move all of your data to the cloud, but chances are pretty good that you'll eventually have at least some of your data in the cloud.
SQL Server virtualization and cloud computing aren't going away any time soon, so if I were you, I would take advantage of every opportunity to learn about these two technologies and how they're going to affect you. A great opportunity to learn about these technologies is coming up—Virtualization Connections and Cloud Connections, two great events that are collocated in Las Vegas, April 17-21st. At Virtualization Connections, learn how to plan and implement a virtualized SQL Server environment. And at Cloud Connections you'll learn some best practices for migrating to, and managing, a public or a private cloud environment.
And, of course, keep reading SQL Server Magazine for hands on, how-to articles that walk you through everything you need to know about virtualizing SQL Server, migrating data to the cloud, and your options for implementing both technologies in your environment.

Although it's a far cry from Víctor Estupiñán's statement that he would score 30 goals in his rookie season, Vancouver Whitecaps forward Darren Mattocks made headlines this week when he said he thought he could score 20 goals this year. Now I don't doubt that Mattocks has the talent to bag a ton of goals in MLS (this goal is definitely one of my favorites), but 20 goals for anyone, let alone a player entering his second full season of professional soccer, is a lot.
So it got the folks at MLSsoccer.com thinking about which player in Major League Soccer could be the next 20-goal scorer. Last year, San Jose striker Chris Wondolowski became just the third player in the past ten years to score at least 20 goals in a season. Wondolowski finished with 27, falling one goal short of breaking Roy Lassiter's record for regular season goals.
MLSsoccer.com's Nicholas Rosano listed three players who he thought could follow in Wondolowski's footsteps and be the league's next 20-goal scorer and No. 2 on his list was Dynamo forward Will Bruin.
In 2012, Bruin scored 12 regular season goals, seven more than his rookie campaign. He added another four goals in the postseason to set a Dynamo franchise record for goals in a year in all competitions.
Here is what Rosano had to say about Bruin's chances:
Not only will he be linking up with Brad Davis once more, he will also enjoy his first full season of play with Boniek García and Giles Barnes, midseason arrivals in 2012. The addition of Omar Cummings may deprive him of some opportunities, but it also gives the Dynamo the pace to stretch defenses, which Bruin can certainly benefit from.
After a strong national team camp, it is not a stretch to imagine a 20-goal season from Bruin and the increased USMNT chances that would follow. Plus, it would be a boon to my colleague the Armchair Analyst's claim that the 23-year-old will net 200 career goals.
Bruin's first opportunity to leave a mark on the 2013 season will be March 2, when the Dynamo host D.C. United at BBVA Compass Stadium. United is a team Bruin has had prior success against, tallying six goals in five career regular season games with one additional goal in last year's postseason.
So will Bruin bag 20 in 2013 and be well on his way to Matt Doyle's prediction of 200 career goals? Let us know in the comments below!

| 4.9°C Belfast
Chelsea stayed in contention at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a slender win over Swansea at Stamford Bridge which left Jose Mourinho frustrated by familiar failings in front of goal.
Eden Hazard was arguably the only one of Chelsea's four starting attacking players to emerge with any credit in attack - Oscar's defensive workrate earned him a pass mark - as Mourinho was again left to bemoan his side's lack of cutting edge.
The impressive Hazard gave Chelsea an interval lead, but Samuel Eto'o spurned chances to double the advantage either side of half-time.
The best saw Eto'o denied by goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel from point-blank range in the opening seconds of the second half as the Blues' lack of potency was again illustrated.
Mourinho has recently spoken of his unease every time his side miss a chance, knowing it could prove costly in defence.
Swansea scarcely threatened, but as long as there was just one goal in it the Blues were vulnerable and Mourinho knew it.
The visitors could not find an opening, though, leaving them with one win in six as Chelsea claimed en eighth win from nine home games this season to extend Mourinho's unbeaten Premier League record at Stamford Bridge to 69 games.
Chelsea will face a sterner test of their title credentials in Sunday's home clash with in-form Liverpool, while Swansea face Aston Villa on Saturday.
With Liverpool in mind, Mourinho made five changes from Monday's goalless draw with Arsenal, with Ashley Cole, David Luiz, Juan Mata, Oscar and Eto'o in for Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, Frank Lampard, Willian and Fernando Torres, respectively.
Swansea, who made six changes following the loss to Everton, were soon under pressure.
Hazard played a through ball so delightful that even recipient Oscar was unable to control it and Branislav Ivanovic's deflected shot went over off Ashley Williams soon afterwards.
After Jonjo Shelvey shot wide across goal for Swansea, the lively Hazard did similar after receiving a return pass from Eto'o and then Ramires fired at Tremmel from 25 yards.
Chelsea continued to push forward. Oscar dived in to tackle Alejandro Pozuelo and crossed for John Terry, who volleyed into the floor, with Tremmel tipping over.
It was one of a series of Blues set-pieces and when Swansea failed to adequately clear one Mata cross, Terry clipped the ball into the six-yard box and Williams cleared ahead of the lurking John Obi Mikel, whose goalscoring record is less than prolific.
Hazard is Chelsea's top-scorer in the Premier League this season and netted his seventh after being granted space to run.
The Belgian cut in from the left and hit a swerving right-footed shot, which flew by Williams and Tremmel.
The Swansea captain blocked the goalkeeper's view, but Tremmel should have done better.
The goalkeeper was fortunate not to concede another moments later after receiving a Williams back pass. Eto'o tackled him, before a relieved Tremmel retrieved the ball. Not for the first, or last, time in the game, Mourinho kicked out in frustration in his technical area.
The gloss on Hazard's performance almost washed off when he failed to adequately track back, allowing Alvaro Vazquez a shot at the back post.
Petr Cech saved, but Hazard incurred the wrath of his manager before then almost redeeming himself by making space for another shot, this time straight at Tremmel, but saved.
Eto'o should have doubled the lead when found by a lofted Mata pass, but shot too close to Tremmel and Ramires could not reach the rebound first.
Chelsea launched an attack as soon as the match restarted and Eto'o, again, should have scored.
Luiz's long ball down the right found Mata, who crossed for Eto'o, but from six yards out the striker was denied when he shot straight at Tremmel.
Hazard then found Eto'o on the edge of the area and he shot wide.
Mourinho called on reinforcements as Frank Lampard replaced Oscar and Andre Schurrle came on for Mata.
Tremmel turned the ball round the post from Lampard, who shot from his customary position on the edge of the area as again Chelsea were unable to double their lead.
Mourinho continued pacing in his technical area and Swansea stretched their hosts on a couple of occasions, without causing Cech any alarm.
Hazard made way for Willian for the closing stages but still Chelsea could not find a second.
Eto'o felt he was pushed in the back by Jordi Almat as he tried to reach an aerial ball, going down more in hope than expectation.
There was no late Swansea flurry, much to Eto'o and Mourinho's relief, as Chelsea triumphed.

Arrest warrant unsealed in Torrington drug raid
LITCHFIELD >> The addicts knew him as "Popeye," the dope dealer.
Following his release from a five-year prison stint for a 2009 narcotics conviction in Waterbury, 34-year-old Miguel Colon was serving out five years of special parole nestled in a single-family brick home on McKinley Street, in a placid residential neighborhood of Torrington, a city whose sleepy nature obscures its growing heroin problem.
In the cover of working-class families with neatly manicured lawns is where Colon set up his drug-dealing venture, allegedly selling heroin and cocaine out of the house and his high-powered blue Acura, police said in an arrest warrant unsealed Monday in Superior Court.
Weeks earlier, on June 19, Colon along with 37-year-old Felix Ramos were arrested minutes after 6 p.m. by police serving a high-risk warrant on the 158 McKinley St. home. Combat-clad officers from the city's special response team set off a flash bang as a diversionary tactic in the backyard of the home and used a battering ram to bash in the front door, taking the two men into custody without incident.
Concerned neighbors gathered outside.
For a few minutes, their quiet neighborhood was overrun by officers and looked war-torn, a concussive blast of the flash bang spooking those who sat down at the table for dinners.
Inside, police found 8.3 grams of cocaine, a small amount of marijuana, $13,000 in cash 300 bags of heroin, most of which was stashed in plastic case for a power drill found in the garage which housed Colon's gleaming blue Acura, the same vehicle undercover cops said they saw Colon selling heroin out of June 18.
Sgt. Dustin Baldis, head of the city's vice unit, and officers in the detective bureau fingered Colon after gathering intelligence from confidential sources.
Police said they performed a series of controlled buys at the McKinley St. home, at least one which involved one of Colon's associates.
Colon's arrest warrant was originally sealed for two weeks while police continued working the case.
On June 18, around 5 p.m., Baldis and officer Matt Faulkner were driving in an unmarked police car northbound on Wilson Avenue, near Cook Street, when they saw Colon's Acura, with Florida license plates, traveling behind them.
Colon was accompanied by an unknown woman. Baldis recognized Colon from booking and probation photos.
A man whom police said was a known heroin addict, was walking north on the sidewalk of Wilson Avenue, in the company of two people.
Colon stopped the Acura next to him, and the man hopped into the backseat, police said. He puttered down the street for 50 feet, long enough for 12 wax bags of heroin to allegedly be sold for $80, stamped with Colon's distinctive dealing signature, "Bingo."
Colon dropped off Leblanc and sped away.
Faulkner exited the police cruiser and tracked Leblanc down on foot. Back at headquarters, he was charged and booked on a single count of heroin possession.
He told police how Colon texted him earlier asking if he needed drugs. At 5:30 p.m., he called him and they arranged a meeting.
According to his arrest warrant, Colon has a long criminal history with numerous arrests for possession and narcotics sale. He has entered a not guilty plea to two counts of narcotics possession, two counts of narcotics possession with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana possession, in addition to narcotics possession, narcotics sale and possession of narcotics.
Held on a combined $100,000 bond, Colon is expected back in court July 22. Ramos is also still in custody on $50,000 and expected in court the same day.
Ramos' public defender, Carol Goldberg, claimed at Ramos' arraignment he was visiting a family friend at the McKinley Street home and the allegations he faces are "materially different" than his alleged co-conspirator.
Ramos was found in possession of a marijuana cigarette and admitted pot found on a kitchen table belonged to him, police said.

'Tennessee Waltz' singer Patti Page dies at 85
Photo: AP
NASHVILLE -- Patti Page, who made "Tennessee Waltz" one of the best-selling recordings ever, has died. She was 85.
Page died on New Year's Day in Encinitas, Calif., according to her manager.
She was one of the top-selling female singers in history with more than 100 million record sales and created a distinctive sound for the music industry in 1947 by overdubbing her own voice when she didn't have enough money to hire backup singers for the single, "Confess."
She had 24 records in the top 10, including four that reached No. 1. She was also the first singer to have television programs on all three major networks, including "The Patti Page Show" on ABC.

LONDON – Two years ago, when it was discovered that a U.S. intelligence agency was pouring millions of dollars into a research project on "metaphor," some people thought it was a delayed April Fool's joke. This columnist begged to differ, on the grounds that metaphors are the way that most of us make sense of the world, and if you want to monitor what people are thinking (or plotting), then understanding how metaphorical language works in different cultures might be really useful.
What brings this to mind is a fascinating blogpost by Perry Link on the New York Review of Books site. It's headlined "Censoring the News Before It Happens" and it's about how the Chinese government "manages" the Internet.
"Every day in China," writes Link, "hundreds of messages are sent from government offices to website editors around the country that say things like, 'Report on the new provincial budget tomorrow, but do not feature it on the front page, make no comparisons to earlier budgets, list no links, and say nothing that might raise questions'; 'Downplay stories on Kim Jong-un's facelift'; and 'Allow stories on deputy mayor Zhang's embezzlement but omit the comment boxes.' "
Why, asks Link, "do censors not play it safe and immediately block anything that comes anywhere near offending Beijing? Why the modulation and the fine-tuning?"
Why indeed? This is where metaphor comes in. Our view of Chinese Internet censorship is shaped by one particular metaphor — "the great firewall of China." Actually, this is a metaphor inside a metaphor because the word "firewall" means different things to different people. To a builder, it's a wall or partition designed to inhibit or prevent the spread of fire. To a computer scientist, on the other hand, a firewall is a piece of software designed to prevent unauthorized or unwanted communications between computer networks or hosts: it decides what data packets are allowed in from the network, and what are allowed out, and it is in this sense that the "great firewall" is generally understood.
To some extent, it's helpful. Firewall-type activity does indeed describe aspects of the Chinese approach to the Internet. But it's been obvious for a while that the subtlety of the regime's approach to managing the network has gone way beyond the binary allow/disallow nature of the firewall metaphor. There are still occasional "completely and immediately delete" instructions to website editors, but because of the rapid growth of social media the Chinese have realized that blanket bans have become a kind of nuclear option and that a more graduated approach is required. "For sensitive topics on which central media have already said something," reports Link, "the instructions may say, 'Reprint Xinhua [the official Chinese news agency] but nothing more.' For topics that cannot be avoided because they are already being widely discussed, there are such options as 'mention without hyping'; 'publish but only under small headlines'; 'put only on back pages'; 'close the comment boxes'; and 'downplay as time passes.' "
We need different imagery to communicate the essence of this more sophisticated approach. Rebecca MacKinnon, one of the world's leading experts on "networked authoritarianism," suggests that a Chinese scholar, Li Yonggang of the University of Hong Kong, has come up with a better metaphor: the Internet as waterworks. He thinks that the regime's efforts to deal with the Internet can be best described as a hydraulic project. Water, in this view, is both vital and dangerous: it has to be managed.
In a blogpost about this approach, MacKinnon wrote: "If you approach Internet management in this way, the system has two main roles: managing water flows and distribution so that everybody who needs some gets some, and managing droughts and floods — which if not managed well will endanger the government's power. It's a huge complex system with many moving parts … there's no way a government can have total control over water levels. Depending on the season, you allow water levels in your reservoir to be higher or lower … but you try to prevent levels from getting above a certain point or below a certain point, and if they do you have to take drastic measures to prevent complete chaos."
Given that almost all of the ruling Chinese elite are engineers, you can see why this approach would make sense to them. It's both rational and feasible. And it provides such an instructive comparison with Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), whose pet project for hoovering the network is codenamed — wait for it! — "Mastering the Internet." Interesting metaphor that, eh?

Brianna out to get jump on diabetes
A 12-YEAR-OLD Yamanto girl will leap out of a plane from 14,000 feet next month to raise awareness for type one diabetes.
Brianna Norris was diagnosed with the condition at age five when her pancreas failed and her body began shutting down.
Weighing only 12kg doctors could not pinpoint what was wrong with her after she lost 4kg in just a couple of days.
"She was heading into a coma, by the time they admitted her to hospital," mother-of-three Teri Norris said.
Mrs Norris said she had been taking her daughter to the doctors for two weeks only to receive no answers.
"Mum said I was turning grey," Brianna said. Brianna was admitted to hospital with anorexia when blood tests revealed she had type one diabetes - that was eight years ago.
Since then Brianna has pricked her fingers 23,500 times to monitor her blood sugar levels in order to stay alive.
Mum Teri must wake every two hours during the night to take her levels to ensure they don't drop causing her to have a hypo attack.
"As soon as my levels hit the three to four mark, that is dangerous and I could go into a coma," the Bremer State High School student said.
Brianna has hypo attacks sometimes daily and as a hypo-unaware patient, she doesn't know when her blood sugar levels are dropping.
"My first diabetic fit was scary," Brianna said.
"It took me four hours to speak. I lost control of my whole left hand side. I tried to scream out to mum in the next room and I couldn't.
"This is something I'm going to have to live with for the rest of my life until there is a cure and that's why we are jumping."
Brianna must wear a pump on her waist which acts as a pancreas to inject insulin into her body 24 hours a day.
She must record the carbohydrates she consumes in every meal into the pump.
"I got teased a lot at primary school because I would have to eat in class and the other kids would have to wait."
Brianna and her mum will jump out of plane on March 16 at Coolum to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

"Talking About California Video"
review of California Video: Artists and Histories, a Getty Publication.
Inclined to regard their work as distant from the forms of both cinema and TV, video artists have gravitated to the anti-illusionist what-you-see-is what-you-get documentary mode linked to the expanded art world of sculptural installations and performance pieces.
In the view of Michael Brand, Director of the Getty Museum, the focus of the video artist's commitment to the image has involved a complementary correction: "As generations of filmmakers throughout the twentieth century developed the complex language of cinematic narrative, parallel generations of visual artists created dizzying works of abstraction and experimentation that challenged every convention of the medium."

A miniature diorama, an apparent precursor of the movies, it displayed landscape art on transparencies in a box device.

"A Note on the Role of Imports in the Emergence of the Last-Minute Rescue Narrative in the American Cinema"
, Domitor,
University of Utrecht
What Imports May Not Be Able To Tell Us About the Emergence of the Last-Minute Rescue Narrative in the American Cinema.
I want to consider albeit in a tentative way the role distribution, which is to say imported film subjects, might have contributed to a major shift in American film production between 1903-1908. In the first phase, producers abandoned the actualities and comedies, the so-called "cinema of attractions" that dominated the vaudeville period dating from 1896 in favor of fictional story films, a trend that appears to have begun in 1903.1 Initially, much fiction film production in that five-year period took the form of a lecturer-dependent tableaux narrative modeled on the lantern slide show, a form characterized by strong spatial orientation and weak temporality, e.g. Edwin Porter's LIFE OF AN AMERICAN FIREMAN(1903).

Born Mario Bianchi in Cesena, Italy, in 1897, Monty Banks was a popular slapstick movie star of the 1920s. Now, some decades later, his reputation has receded from institutional memory and indeed almost slipped beyond buffdom into oblivion. Of the many shorts and features in which Banks appeared between 1917-1928 - by one estimate between 100 two-reelers, fifty one-reelers and ten features - few have survived.

A former News of the World reporter has denied pocketing cash which was meant to pay his sources for stories.
Ex-royal editor Clive Goodman was being cross-examined in the witness box in the hacking trial at the Old Bailey.
He has claimed that former NotW editor Andy Coulson knew about a £500-a-week deal he made with private investigator Glenn Muclaire to hack phones of the Royal Household between 2005 and 2006.
Coulson's lawyer, Timothy Langdale QC, asked: "Is it the case we just have to take your word for it that all the cash you received as a result of cash contribution requests actually went to that person concerned?
"Have you got any other evidence to show the money actually went to the person in respect of the request?"
Goodman replied: "It did."
Mr Langdale said: "Did you keep for yourself any of the money you got in cash from the NotW?"
Goodman replied: "No, I did not."
Mr Langdale said financial figures showed that, between February 2004 and June 2006, Goodman made no cash withdrawals from ATM machines. And in the two months before his arrest in August 2006, he withdrew £600 in cash.
Goodman said this financial information was incomplete and did not take account of a legacy of £140,000 left to him by his mother, who died in 2004.
He also claimed that the birth of his child meant his lifestyle changed during the period and he was more used to getting cash back from trips to the supermarket.
The Old Bailey also heard that Mulcaire was considering defecting to the Sun in 2006.
In an email to Coulson in February of that year, Goodman argued for the deal with "Matey" to continue.
Mr Langdale suggested to Goodman that the email showed "your habit of hamming it up, flannelling, to try to persuade somebody to do something".
Goodman denied it, and insisted there was a real danger that Mulcaire would "switch to the Sun".
Goodman also denied the email indicated that Coulson did not know that "Matey" - or Project Alexander - was Mulcaire.
Goodman and Mulcaire pleaded guilty to phone hacking in 2006.
However, Goodman, 56, of Addlestone, Surrey, denies conspiracy to conduct misconduct in public office.
Coulson, 46, of Charing, Kent, denies conspiracy to hack phones and conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office.
Goodman denied the suggestion by Coulson's lawyer that his career was "in decline" by the time his client was editor.
He described him as "work-shy", "out of touch" and "reluctant to go out on stories".
He was nicknamed "the Eternal Flame" in the newsroom because he never went out of the office, Mr Langdale said.
But Goodman said it was not true and defended his record, saying: "You did not get stories in a small circle of royals going out and knocking on doors."
He said his stories were rejected by the news desk because Coulson and another colleague, Neil Wallis, "did not like what I was doing".
The court heard that Tara Palmer-Tomkinson was the source of one of Goodman's front page stories about a man dressed up as Osama Bin Laden gate-crashing a royal party.
Mr Langdale suggested that Coulson was in fact the source, but Goodman insisted the story came from the socialite with help from his royal sources.
He said: "The source was Tara Palmer-Tomkinson who was a contact of Mr Coulson. She was a guest at the party. She phoned Mr Coulson, he phoned me, passed on the information. I then phoned Tara, got the information myself and put a story together with the help of members of the Royal Household."
Mr Langdale asked Goodman repeatedly if he had any direct dealings with Mulcaire before 2005 when he set up the "Alexander Project".
Goodman repeatedly denied it, saying: "Not that I recall."

Bucks top Pistons thanks to big 4th quarter
MILWAUKEE — After a poor third quarter cost them a nine-point halftime lead, the Milwaukee Bucks came out firing to start the fourth.
The Bucks began the final period on a 14-1 run and held on for a 104-100 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
More Bucks coverage
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Khris Middleton had 21 points, including four free throws in the final 20 seconds to help the Bucks win for the fourth time in five games. Eric Bledsoe added 22 points.
"We just stayed with it," Middleton said. "We did a great job of holding onto the lead. We have just been grinding it out and staying with it."
Milwaukee took a 60-51 lead into halftime, but Detroit outscored the Bucks 25-16 in the third quarter to send the game to the fourth tied at 76.
The Bucks took a 90-77 lead on a jumper by Malcolm Brogdon with 6:42 remaining. Including the end of the third quarter, Detroit went 7:57 without a field goal until Tobias Harris scored with 5:12 left.
Andre Drummond scored 27 points with 20 rebounds for Detroit, which lost its fourth straight.
Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy blamed the slow start to the fourth quarter on the Pistons bench players.
"Our bench has not played well on this trip," Van Gundy said. "We maybe have to change up our rotations. Our bench has been really, really good for us, but now has not been."
Reggie Jackson's jumper pulled Detroit within 97-94, but Bledsoe tipped in his own miss to make it 99-94 with 32.1 seconds to play.
"Giannis and Bledsoe made some big plays down the stretch with some offensive rebounds," Bucks coach Jason Kidd said. "Just the confidence that those two have in one another and in the team is great. Nobody is panicking trying to execute the play."
Milwaukee led 64-53 after an alley-oop dunk by John Henson with 9:55 left in the third quarter.
The Pistons answered with a 14-2 spurt to take a 67-66 lead. Harris scored the final eight points of the run, including a 3-pointer to cap the stretch with 6:09 remaining in the third.
Harris had 21 points, and Avery Bradley scored 20.
"We just need to keep our head up," Drummond said. "We can't allow these losses to get us down. It is a long season."
Pistons: Forward Jon Leuer was out with a left ankle sprain. … After coming off the bench Monday against San Antonio, forward Stanley Johnson returned to the starting lineup. Forward Anthony Tolliver moved to the bench.
Bucks: Guard Jason Terry is expected to miss multiple weeks with a left calf strain suffered Monday against Boston. … Playing double-digit minutes for the first time since Oct. 31, guard Rashad Vaughn scored 11 points in 17 minutes.
Antetokounmpo celebrated his 23rd birthday Wednesday. He has the most points (5,364), rebounds (2,407) and assists (1,230) in Bucks history before turning 23.
His 30 games of scoring at least 30 points before reaching 23 years old is second to only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 32 in franchise history.
Former Marquette star and Wisconsin native Henry Ellenson returned to the building where he played college basketball. Ellenson has played in just nine games for Detroit this season, averaging 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds.
Pistons: Detroit hosts Golden State on Friday night.
Bucks: Milwaukee continues a three-game homestand against Dallas on Friday night.

Aaron Oram, his wife, sister, a niece and a nephew had just landed from Florida when the news arrived on his phone.
Their connecting flight from Toronto to St. John's, N.L. — said the Air Canada text — had been cancelled, a casualty of the federal government's decision to ground the nation's Boeing 737-Max planes.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Things got worse. After queuing for two hours, Oram's family was finally scheduled on a new flight — one that wouldn't leave until the same time Thursday. And the hotel rooms they had to book in the meantime would be at their expense, not Air Canada's.
"I'm 100 per cent for safety. I feel relieved they are pulling down the flights," the Glovertown, N.L., resident said in an interview from Toronto's Pearson airport. "(But) I said 'This is not my fault, not the weather's fault. It's their equipment that got pulled down from the sky. If they bought from Airbus, we wouldn't be in a hotel right now.' "
Oram wasn't alone in feeling frustrated.
Thousands of Canadian passengers saw their travel plans thrown into disarray Wednesday as the country's two biggest carriers scrambled to cope with Transport Canada's grounding of over three dozen Boeing 737-Max planes.
Air Canada and WestJet customers who suddenly discovered their flights would not be taking off joined long lines at airport counters or called travel agents in search of alternative rides. They could be difficult to find on a busy week — March break for two million Ontario students. Some whose planes were grounded Wednesday would not fly until Friday, said WestJet.
Even hotels were booking up fast around Pearson, Canada's busiest airport, said Oram.
The two airlines said they were trying to transfer passengers onto other flights, putting larger planes on routes served until Wednesday by the 737 Max jets, and moving some people to other carriers as a stop-gap measure.
The companies have two of the world's biggest fleets of the Boeing model — which was involved in two major crashes in five months — but stressed that the planes represented a relatively small fraction of their total operation. Air Canada typically has 75 flights per day on its 24 737-Max aircraft, out of 1,600 daily flights and a fleet of 400 planes.
Still, those grounded jets ferry 9,000 to 12,000 people daily, said Peter Fitzpatrick, an Air Canada spokesman. Passengers will not be charged to cancel or rebook flights, but should expect delays in doing so, he warned.
"We appreciate our customers' patience," he said.
WestJet — which has 13 of the planes — said 1,000 "guests" had been affected Wednesday, with half rebooked on flights the same day, also at no extra charge. The others would be sent on their way Thursday or Friday, the airline said.
"Please recognize that this is a very fluid situation and we are working to minimize the number of guests impacted," WestJet said in a question-and-answer list posted on its website.
The grounded planes represent less than 10 per cent of its fleet of over 170 jets, the company said.
Among the measures taken by Air Canada to handle the government decision was to put wide-bodied airliners on its flights to Hawaii instead of the 737 MAX.
But do they owe their customers more, as Oram suggested? Actually, airlines should not be expected to cover passengers' extra costs — like hotel stays or meals — for the next couple of days, given the suddenness of the government decision, said Gabor Lukacs, founder of the group Air Passenger Rights.
But if similar delays persist later than, say, Friday night, they ought to pick up those expenses, he argued.
"You cannot just pull out aircraft from thin air," Lukacs said. "But past (Friday)
… airlines will have to pull out all stops to find aircraft from other sources. They cannot just sit around and do nothing."
The Flight Centre travel agency is hearing from many customers trying to book new trips, and expects to be handling such calls at least for the next few days, said Allison Wallace, a company spokeswoman.
"Due to the sheer volume of people affected, most people will be facing delays," she said. "Finding space on the next available flight is particularly challenging given it's a peak travel period."
Families returning from March-break getaways in hot places will have relatively few options, given the limited number of already crowded flights from some of those destinations, she noted.
Oram and his family had just come off a two-week break in Orlando, Fla., but he thinks their interrupted homecoming could have gone more smoothly.
"It's just frustrating how the agents kept saying 'It's not Air Canada's fault — it's the government's,' " he said. "He compared it to a recall on a car. I feel like they could have handled it more respectfully."

In most instances of canine Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS) it is difficult to tell the initial cause of your dog's dry eyes. Usually, though, the problem is due to one of these three conditions:
In some cases a dog may suffer from a combination of all three problems.
Immune-mediated destruction of the tear glands is the most common cause of KCS. How this inflammatory reaction develops is not clearly understood, but it seems to be more common in female dogs and certain breeds of dogs, including: the American Cocker Spaniel, the Miniature Schnauzer, English Bulldog, Lhasa Apso, and the West Highland White Terrier.Damage to the tear glands can also be one of the many symptoms associated with canine distemper. Other conditions such as kidney disease and uterine infections can affect a dog's tear glands as well and temporarily cause dry eyes.
Facial nerves stimulate the tear glands in dogs. Because these nerves pass through the middle ear, long-standing ear infections can damage the nerves, and lead to very little tears being secreted. The same problem can result from nerve damage that occurs for other reasons such as injuries to the face and head.
Chronic conjunctivitis, especially, can lead to scarring of your pet's eye lids. As a result, ducts that carry tears from the glands to the eye can become plugged. This means that tears will not reach the eye.
Several other rare conditions can lead to dry eyes.
Identifying the cause of chronic dry eye is the first step in treatment. Make sure you pay attention to the signs and symptoms, and if you see something, talk to your vet. Otherwise your dog could be left with a very itchy problem.
This information is for informational purposes only and is not meant as a substitute for the professional advice of, or diagnosis or treatment by, your veterinarian with respect to your pet. It has, however, been verified by a licensed veterinarian for accuracy.

Remote OpenBSD install via ssh.
I had a remote FreeBSD 6.3 box that I wanted OpenBSD to be on instead. I thought I would post this as to help anyone else who wanted to as I found very little on the net.
This could pretty much work with any base os. I am in no way up to speed with fdisk and disklabels enough to try and repartition the boot drive, but I cant see why it wouldnt work with that too.
The remote server came with raid so I disabled and used the second drive for this.
Install grub onto the base os. do as superuser...
in FreeBSD: #pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.3-release/ devel/autoconf-2.61_2.tbz - devel/autoconf-wrapper-20071109.tbz - devel/m4-1.4.9,1.tbz - devel/perl-5.8.8_1 devel/automake-1.9.6_2.tbz - devel/automake-wrapper-20071109.tbz devel/gettext-0.16.1_3.tbz - converters/libiconv-1.11_1.tbz devel/gmake-3.81_2.tbz misc/help2man-1.36.4_1.tbz - devel/p5-gettext-1.05_1.tbz devel/libtool-1.5.24.tbz sysutils/grub-0.97_1.tbz #reboot. #sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 #grub-install /dev/ad4 (substitute for your boot drive) #grub grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 - (hd0,0,a) :should be the result grub> root (hd0,0,a) - Filesystem type is ufs2, partition type 0xa5 grub> setup (hd0) grub>quit #cd /boot/grub #touch menu.lst #vi menu.lst (or whatever your preferred editor is) menu.lst: default=saved timeout 10 #BOOT FREEBSD title FreeBSD 6.3 root (hd0,0,a) kernel /boot/loader boot #OPENBSD title OpenBSD 4.2 root (hd1) chainloader +1 boot
The info we need about the target machine is:
interface, ip, gateway, subnet and dns (openbsd usually detects it the same as freebsd)
FTP src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz from ftp.openbsd.org into /usr/src. #tar xzf src.tar.gz && tar zxf sys.tar.gz #cd .. #tar xzf yaifo-XX.tar.gz #cd yaifo-XX (this assumes u unpacked yaifo into /usr/yaifo-xxxx) edit config file and enter the information for the target machine. be sure to specify the interface if more then two exist in the target box. #ssh-keygen -t rsa #cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys #cp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys . FTP id_rsa to your laptop or machine you intend doing the ssh connection from. #make obj && make ftp yaifo.fs and yaifo.rd to same machine as id_rsa. convert id_rsa with puttygen if you use putty. FTP yaifo.fs to the freebsd machine.
#dd if=yaifo.fs of=/dev/ad6 now swap the grub entries in menu.lst in /boot/grub, so the openbsd entry is above the freebsd entry. save and reboot the freebsd box.
I hope you find this useful. Obviously, small changes will apply on whatever base os your starting from. This is no way a full proof guide so do say at your own risk of bricking your remote machine, however it went off without a hitch for me.
Yaifo is now available for 4.3 (I did this with 4.2 as yaifo for 4.3 wasnt ready yet and its taken me a while to get back to posting this).
on the openbsd box.

U.S. Education Secretary Visits Charter School in New York City, Discusses State-by-State Estimates
U.S. Education Secretary Visits Charter School in New York City, Discusses State-by-State Estimates
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan today visited Explore Charter School in Brooklyn to discuss the importance of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in saving jobs and advancing reforms. He discussed the state-by-state estimates of new education revenues included in the stimulus bill and set a goal of releasing a third of the more than $100 billion in funding within 30 days.
Following is the Secretary's prepared remarks:
Thank you Mayor Bloomberg, Chancellor Klein and President Weingarten:
All across America states are hurting and schools are facing catastrophic cuts.
California is something like $40 billion dollars in the hole. My home state of Illinois is about $3 or $4 billion short as well. They are all cutting education.
Recognizing this threat, Congress and the Obama administration are investing a large share of the stimulus funding to stabilize our states so we can protect kids, save teaching jobsand also drive reforms.
The need has never been greater.
Despite all of the progress of great leaders like Joel Klein, Mayor Bloomberg and Randi Weingarten, our schools are still struggling.
Too many kids drop out. Too many who graduate aren't ready for college or work.
We're not just facing an economic crisis in America. We're facing an education crisis. A University of Washington report says up to 600,000 education jobs are at risk.
But we're also facing a historic opportunity to remake public educationa once-in-a-lifetime chance to lift the quality of education for every child in America.
I call it the perfect storm for reform.
It starts with what I call the Barack effectthe fact that we have a president and a first lady who came from modest circumstances and could have been among those who dropped outbut instead they rose to the top through education and hard work.
The symbolic power of their success cannot be exaggerated. To put it simplythey have made education cool and hip and something for every child to imitate.
For low-income, minority kidsthey see the President and say, "I want to be smart like him."
Secondwe have great leadership in Congress who understand that this issueabove allis the foundation of a strong economic future.
We have to educate ourselves to a stronger economy. That means we have to invest in children and make college more affordable. It's that simple.
Third, we actually have the moneywell over $100 billion dollars of one-time money to stave off these layoffs and boost critical education programs. A lot of this money will be tied to higher standards and reforms that are desperately needed.
And finally, we have the proven strategies for successincluding many right here in New York City.
Districts like New York are remaking public education in America with bold and innovative new learning models, higher standards and teacher quality initiatives. We must support those efforts. We can't go backwards.
That's why this money is so important.
And it's also important to have strong partners like Randi Weingarten. She will be a critical partner in advancing President Obama's education agenda and I salute her for her leadership.
Today, the state-by-state numbers are on-line, listing the funding amounts for all of the key education programs in the stimulus bill.
Let me tell you what New York State is going to get from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Actjust for education:
- There will be over $3 billion for state stabilization to help the state balance its budget. There is no better way to stimulate the economy in the short term and the long term than to keep teachers teaching and keep kids learning.
- New York State will also receive almost $1 billion in Title I funding which targets low-income students.
- There will be another $850 Million in funding for students with disabilities.
- There is also money for early childhood, vocational rehab, work study and a host of other programs.
All told, New York State is going to get approximately $4.8 billion dollars in additional education funding over the next two years.
With the City of New York accounting for about 40% of the state's student populationwe're talking about roughly $1.9 billion dollars for New York City Schools and colleges.
On top of that there will be $476 million in Pell Grants for low-income college students and hundreds of millions in college tuition tax credits for middle-income families.
Finally, there are billions of dollars in construction bonds and stabilization funds that can go to school modernizationcreating jobs and classrooms for the 21st century.
We need to invest this money quickly thoughtfully and transparently to protect kids, create jobs and drive reforms.
We need to see every state moving toward reformbut we want to make sure they know the money is coming in order to save those jobs.
I also want to mention the Race to the Top Fundwhich is incentive money to reward states that most aggressively embrace reforms.
These include higher standards, teacher quality, accountability, data and growth models and all of the best practices in education today.
I fully expect New York City and New York State to put together a great proposal. In many ways you are already setting the standardincluding the pay for performance program here that was pioneered by Joel and Randi.
But we all have more work to do.
Thanks to the leadership of President Obama and Congress, that work will continue and we will move forward in creating a world-class education system that prepares every child for success in college, in work and in life.
Thank you.

What's Up March 2010: The study of asteroids and the Solar System
The study of asteroids helps us understand more about early Solar System history.
Transcript:Jane Houston Jones: What's Up for March? Bright Saturn and a faint asteroid named Lutetia. Hello and welcome! I'm Jane Houston Jones at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. This month Saturn is at Opposition, which is when the sun is on one side of the Earth and Saturn is directly on the opposite side.
Title - Saturn on February 18, 2010
Jones: Saturn is brightest at Opposition. And it's also as close to Earth as it ever gets in its orbit. You can view Saturn all night long now. It rises in the east at sunset and sets in the west at dawn.
Title - Looking East mid-month late evening
Jones: If you face east in the late evening, you can see two planets near the distinctive constellation Leo. First, look nearly overhead. That reddish object you see up there is Mars. Closer to the horizon, the bright golden-hued object is Saturn. Saturn is well-placed for viewing from now through July.
Title - The changing tilt of Saturn's rings as seen from Earth
Jones: This year, Saturn's rings are slightly inclined. They were tilted 4 degrees in January. They'll dip to nearly edge-on in June and then tip up to 10 degrees by year-end. The Solar System was a violent place to start with. There were many crashes in which small bodies broke into pieces and re-formed. The study of asteroids helps us understand a lot more about the early Solar System history.
Title - Animation. Asteroids are actually much farther apart.
Jones: Of the millions in our Solar System, only a few have been observed up close. Near the middle of the constellation Leo is the challenging-to-see and faint main-belt asteroid 21 Lutetia. You'll need a good star chart and a medium to large telescope plus dark skies to glimpse this small twelfth-magnitude asteroid. Jones: If you don't see Lutetia, that's OK, because the European Space Agency's
Title - Rosetta spacecraft and artist's concept of asteroid
Jones: Rosetta spacecraft will pay a second visit to this interesting object in July, passing within 3000 kilometers of the asteroid. Rosetta had its first look at Lutetia in January of 2007.
Title - OSIRIS: Optical, Spectroscopic and Infrared Remote Imaging System
Jones: The OSIRIS camera imaged the asteroid passing through its field of view during the spacecraft's approach to Mars for a gravity assist. Rosetta's instruments will collect enough information to create a resumé of the asteroid's past: where it was born, how it got started on its asteroid career and if there were any mid-course corrections.
Title - Cassini spacecraft at Saturn. Titan. Iapetus. Enceladus
Jones: The Cassini spacecraft has been studying Saturn, its rings and moons since arriving in 2004.
Title - Saturn at Winter Solstice. Oct. 30, 2002
Jones: Cassini's seven-year Solstice Mission extension, to the year 2017, presents an opportunity to follow the seasonal changes of an outer planet
Title - Saturn at Equinox. Aug. 9, 2009
Jones: all the way from its winter
Title - Saturn at Summer Solstice. May 23, 2017
Jones: to its summer.
Title - Cassini Solstice Mission. 2010 - September 2017
Jones: During its 155 orbits around Saturn, including 55 flybys of the moon Titan, Cassini will fly by the icy moon Enceladus 11 more times.
Title - www.nasa.gov
Jones: You can learn more about Cassini and other NASA missions at www.nasa.gov.
Title - rosetta.jpl.nasa.gov
Jones: The NASA contribution to ESA's Rosetta Mission can be found at rosetta.jpl.nasa.gov.
Title - Thanks to the following for submitting images: European Space Agency, Morris Jones, Anthony Wesley
Jones: That's all for this month. I'm Jane Houston Jones.
