A deaf woman claims an Albuquerque officer tackled her to the ground because she couldn't hear his commands.
Janet Case is completely deaf in one ear and has limited hearing in the other. APD officers were called to her apartment complex because of a dispute between Case and her landlord.
In APD's lapel camera video of the incident, the situation seems to get out of hand when an officer tells Case to come outside. The officer asks Case to turn around, but she says no and tells him she's deaf. The officer then tells Case to get on the ground and she responds "no" again.
That's when the officer takes Case to the ground and begins to handcuff her. The officer tells her, "You've heard everything I said and you've told me 'no' every time I talked to you." Case then responds, "No, I'm deaf."
"That officer was just annoyed that she wouldn't talk to him or couldn't hear him," said Theresa Hacsi, Case's attorney. "It was humiliating for her. It didn't only escalate to her getting tackled on the ground and handcuffed and taken to jail, she got lectured several times like a child."
In the lapel camera video, the officer says: "Your attitude dictates how I treat you. And I want to, for the record, state that you're not--you weren't looking at me just now when you were answering my questions. So you may be hearing impaired or deaf, but you can hear me because you're responding to me as you don't--as you're looking away from me. OK, so please don't use your handicap or anything to play me or pull the wool over someone's eyes."
"It's very insensitive and it's very illegal," Hacsi said. "Every member of our community is entitled to be treated with respect, especially those with disabilities."
APD charged Case with resisting arrest and obstructing justice, but those charges were eventually dropped. There is no evidence Case did anything wrong before police arrived at her home, other than being a noisy neighbor who moved around her furniture too often.
Case has filed a lawsuit against APD claiming the officer used excessive force when bringing her to the ground. Case says she wasn't threatening him and the suit claims she couldn't hear him.
An APD spokeswoman told KOB the department could not comment on the lawsuit because the case is now tied up in court.

It might look like a common or garden 180bhp V4 Aprilia RSV4 Factory, but this special edition version (only 350 are being made, 50 to come to the UK) has moved road-going superbikes on as much as the BMW S1000RR did. It's loaded with cutting-edge electronic riding aids, which make you faster and safer. Its new traction and wheelie control ...
Aprilia's RSV4R is a more affordable version of the all-singing, all-dancing RSV4 Factory. The engine is basically the same, without some of the Factory's advanced electronics, but the chassis parts are slightly lower-spec. Despite this it's still a beautifully-balanced technology-packed Italian missile. It's monstrously fast, gives you loads of confidence in the corners, has superb ride quality, looks great (especially ...
At last, we've finally been able to ride the RSV4 in the dry after its sopping wet launch in Spring 2009! As we said before, Aprilia built the RSV4 as a race bike first, road bike second. You won't even scratch the surface of what it's capable of on the road in terms of power and handling. Video: 415-mile road ...
998cc, 128bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 15
Why buy a Ducati when you could have an Aprilia RSV1000 Mille? OK, the name may not be as famous but the Mille is a superb superbike with a surprisingly reasonable price tag. Looks are distinctive, reliability is pretty good it's just unfortunate that dealer back up can be patchy.
998cc, 143bhp, 172mph, Insurance group 17
Ultra-exotic, extremely high performance V-twin motorcycle that rocks on the race track but is a handful on the road. The Aprilia RSV1000R is not for the inexperienced. This updated bike appeared in November 2004 and is the base of the RSV1000R range – in previous years the 'R' was a tricked up model and the 'Mille' was the entry level machine. Now ...

The backyard of a Fort Wayne home is dark, save the light coming through the garage window. Three 20-something performers are getting ready to perform their tricks.
There is a faint odor, something like plastic burning. And then there is that sound: whoosh whoosh whoosh.
It's the sound a flame makes as it is being twirled around a body on a hula hoop, or flung in a pattern from a fixed point on a steel chain.
Lauren Tourkow, 26, Brent Helmkamp, 28, and Jules Tankel, 22, are three local residents who perform with fire. They will be performing as part of Spark! Circus from 6 to 9 p.m. today at Deer Park Pub, 1530 Leesburg Road.
Tourkow and Helmkamp are in charge of the circus this year. In the event, performers raise money for the children of refugees from Burma, now known as Myanmar. Each performer pays his or her own way to travel to Thailand to perform for and donate the money raised to Burmese refugee camps, hospitals and orphanages along the way. Each performer – there are 20 – has a $1,000 fundraising goal, and the hope is to raise $15,000, Helmkamp says.
What makes this circus very different from other circuses is there are no animals, Tourkow says. It's a fire performing arts troupe.
Poi style
Helmkamp has been spinning for about four years. He started with glow sticks and, when he saw others spin with fire, he decided to learn poi, practicing with baby shoes. The baby shoes provide a perfect first step, as he can hold on to the laces and spin the shoes. If he accidentally hits himself in the face, it doesn't hurt, and it doesn't burn him.
He insists poi is easier than it looks, that he rarely singes off any beard hair.
His tools are two lengths of steel chain with a Kevlar wick on the end of each. After Helmkamp soaks each wick in lamp oil – or kerosene, white gas or paraffin – Tankel lights one wick. He touches the flame to his second poi. With each wick blazing, he begins to spin the chains.
With each hand, he performs a series of precise movements, whipping each flame so fast, the fire seems to form a solid line. He extends his arms and swings the chains over his head. He holds his elbows tight to his body to create a smaller arc with the lit wicks. For one trick, he maneuvers the chains so they interlock, making each wick spin so close together, he forms a ring of fire just in front of his face.
The fluid keeps hitting me in the face, he says, seeming unworried.
Tourkow had just started hooping, or performing tricks with a hula hoop, when she met Helmkamp – the two are dating – at a party where he was spinning fire. Tourkow's transition from hooping to hooping with fire seemed a natural one, she says.
Her hula hoop has protruding spokes with Kevlar wicks that she soaks in lamp oil. When each is lit, she treats the hoop as she would were it not on fire.
Tourkow hula hoops around her waist, the traditional way. But as she wiggles her hip, the hoop slides down her legs. With a quick move, she ducks in and through the flaming hoop once twice a third time. She swings it over her head – Be careful the wires, Helmkamp warns, as there are telephone wires directly over the yard – and twirls it in front of her face, as though it is on a gear of some sort.
As part of her performance, Tourkow will hoop (no flames) on her legs and around her knees while she plays music. She is a trained violinist and will play classical, circus music, funk and more as she hoops.
Fire eating
Tankel, who met Helmkamp and Tourkow through their shared hobbies, performs what is called fire fingers. She has caps for eight of her fingers with Kevlar wicks on the end, creating patterns and designs with the flames.
On this night, however, she demonstrates her fire-eating skills.
She has two baton-like rods with a Kevlar wick on the end of each. She soaks each in the lamp oil and lights them. Then, she puts one leg in front of the other, leans and arches her back, tipping up her chin. Tankel slowly lowers the flame into her mouth and then extinguishes the flame as she closes her mouth.
Unlike poi and hooping, fire eating can't really be practiced without fire.
The first time you eat fire, she says, you just gotta do it. When you hesitate is when you burn yourself.
She equates the feeling of fire eating to taking a large gulp of hot coffee.
After extinguishing one flame by eating it, Tankel rubs the unlit wick along the inside of her forearm. She taps the lit wick on one end of her arm and quickly switches to the unlit wick. As soon as it makes contact with her skin, it lights.
She performs the same trick along her bare lower belly.
As she draws a line of lamp oil below her belly button, she grins.
This is my favorite.

Spanish-language media covers Super Bowl creatively
Media Day had its usual share of wacky interviewers, but this time it appeared a disproportionate number were members of the Spanish-language media. I have no idea why.
(Not that there was any shortage of English-language goofballs, too.)
As usual, the Spanish-language journalist who made the boldest impression was Ines Sainz of TV Azteca, who last month famously appeared in the Cowboys locker room before their playoff game against the Giants.
T.O. was laying low at the time but called her over to a media-restricted area and whispered something into her ear . . . presumably about his ankle injury.
That's her in the picture at last year's Media Day. I believe she was wearing less clothing this time, and it was quite chilly at University of Phoenix Stadium.
She stood next to me at Tom Brady's podium for a few minutes, and her arms were covered with goosebumps. It was the weather, not seeing Brady, that did it. I assume.
(UPDATE: It appears there is some video of Ms. Sainz with my Tuesday newspaper column in which she is seen doing interviews at this year's Media Day, in case you are so inclined.)

The Compelling Menu of a Federal Hill Institution Cant Overcome Flawed Setting
Chef Tom Chungkasoon opened his Federal Hill townhouse restaurant Ten-O-Six in early 1999 to warm reviews and appreciative diners, dazzled by eye-popping plate arrangements and gratified by an ambitious menu of Thai and Eurasian fusion entrées. But when was the last time you dined there?
Walking through Federal Hill looking for a place to eat, youd probably give Ten-O-Six a pass. Through a smoked-glass window you can see a white spray-bottle cleanser someones left on the ledgea little thing, sure, but a sign that people have stopped expecting company. A scouting glance inside Ten-O-Six probably wouldnt convince you to stay. The place looks kind of tired, a little timeworn, in need of sprucing up. Old published reviews mention roses on the tablewhere have they gone?
Still, the menu is damned intriguing. Who else in town is serving medallion of ostrich, sweetbreads, rack of boar, and frog legs with fried garlic? And who wouldnt be happy here, with a menu of moderately priced basic Thai cuisinedrunken noodles, pad Thai, etc.available alongside Chungkasoons ambitious fusion fare, not just boar but grilled jumbo shrimp sautéed with exotic herbs ($16.95) and sea bass encrusted with macadamias ($20.95)?
The yum-beef ($7.50) makes a model and promising Thai appetizer, an instance of letting ingredients speak for themselves. Shreds of beef are marinated with assertive Thai chiles, bracing lime juice, and puckering fish sauce, and tossed with fresh cilantro, cucumbers, and onions. The beef was pleasantly chewy but not tough, full of arousing flavor. A crabmeat spring roll ($7.75) was just as enjoyabletwo phyllo-crispy shells stuffed with bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and snow-white crabmeat perched atop a dipping sauce of homemade ginger-orange syrup flecked with a thousand tiny black sesame seeds. Sweet flavors play with sour, as do soft textures with crispy. Watermelon gazpacho ($5) sounded potentially grossa cloyingly sweet summer treat, like a daiquiri in a bowlbut the fruit complemented the chilled soup, finishing off the flavors supplied by chopped onions, cucumbers, and green peppers and bringing out the essential fruitiness of the tomatoes. As good as a gazpacho gets.
Two other starters didnt leave us cold; they merely tasted a little ordinary in comparison with the triumphs. A green papaya salad ($6) brought together the sweet, spicy, and sourfrom papaya, palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, peanuts, chile, dried shrimp, macadamiasbut only occasionally resolved itself into a whole mouth adventure. Siam mussels ($6.95), sautéed with white wine, garlic, lemon grass, chile, and sweet basil, lacked only the kind of urgency that makes you want to order them again.
Boar ($22.95) isnt gamy, but it is strong, and Chungkasoon flatters a rack of boar with a robust brandy, roasted garlic, and green peppercorn sauce that would clobber beef or lamb. Flambéing the sauce seals in flavors and softens up the meat. Salmon ($17.95) is cured for days before searing, wrapped in fork-tender shoestring potatoes, and topped with a crabmeat beurre blanc sauce. Its sensational.
Three Thai dishes impressed, especially the nourishing gang seafood ($14.95), a simmering hot pot filled with chunks of specimen salmon, shrimp, mussels, clams, and scallops in red curry sauce. Lamb massaman ($13.95) is thoroughly braised with a thick, complex curry sauce, sweetened by tamarind juice and given interest by crushed peanuts. A challenging sauce of coconut milk, chile, garlic, lemon grass, and kaffir lime leaves smothers slices of maple duck ($12.95), overwhelming the fowls flavor. (On the way out, however, I saw Chef Chungkasoon eating this dish for dinner, which made me want to give it another chance.)
The dining room almost succeeds as anti-charming, like the pre-renovation Marconis, so dowdy it has to be good. And the absence of ambient distraction puts the focus squarely on the food, which merits the attention. But Id still hesitate to recommend it for a second date or a night on the town. Strip it down, I say. Pull out the carpeting, take down the smeared Dewars mirror, and make Ten-O-Six into a bare-bones temple of creative dining.

By Jonathan Weil

Hewlett-Packard Co. shares hit a new 10-year low today, following yesterday's remarks by Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman that HP's revenue would be down sharply next year.

In her words: "I've learned at HP that you do not get what you expect. You get what you inspect."

That's a good lesson for anyone reading corporate earnings reports, too, especially HP's. The first number in its Aug. 22 fiscal third quarter earnings release was a profit of $1 a share -- except that wasn't a real profit. It was calculated according to HP accounting rules, which are much more generous than generally accepted accounting principles. The GAAP number was a loss of $4.49 a share, or $8.9 billion.

The biggest expense HP excluded was an $8 billion charge to write down the value of goodwill, which is the bookkeeping entry a company records when it pays a premium price to buy another company. HP has bought lots of companies over the years, with awful results. The writedown was an admission that HP overpaid. But it also was a forward-looking indicator, because it meant HP had drastically cut its cash-flow projections for the future.

HP still had almost $37 billion of goodwill on its balance sheet as of July 31. That was more than its $32 billion of shareholder equity, or assets minus liabilities. Meanwhile, at about $14.75 a share this afternoon, the stock market says the whole company is worth only about $29 billion. The stock is down 14 percent since Tuesday's close.

Unfortunately for Whitman, who joined the company last year, goodwill isn't a saleable asset. It's nothing but hot air. Look for lots more red ink to come.

Motorola's Germany Xbox sales ban castrated by US judges
Motorola is not allowed to stop Microsoft Xboxes from being sold in Germany after a US appeals court agreed that the sales ban was too narrow. A court in Seattle prevented Google-owned Motorola from enforcing an injunction against the games console, and a three-judge panel at the appeals court has agreed with that decision. …
It is because of the initial suit being filed on US soil, and the fact that it relates to two American companies, that the Seattle court was able to intervene in the matter of the Germany ban
Whilst I can see the logic, it strikes me as stretching it to say that a US court has the power to overrule the decision of a court in another nation?
You could argue it's a case of the US Courts trying to keep their own house in order, of course, but if a German court has said "Can't be sold here" what right does the US have to say "Yeah they can"?
Or is it because Motorola would have to seek to enforce the injunction that they feel they can? After all, from that view I suppose they're not actually dealing with the German decision, more saying to Moto "You may have got the decision, but we're telling you you can't use it?"
All seems a little extra-territorial to me!
The judgement is here ...
In a nutshell, they aren't attempting to overrule the German court. They are saying that Motorola can't use the German verdict to get around an agreement made in the US.
Can the US court do this? See the next round's verdict
Re: The judgement is here ...
> They are saying that Motorola can't use the German verdict to get around an agreement made in the US.
But from my reading of Groklaw it seems that Motorola's main complaint is that Microsoft refuses to even enter negotiations towards an agreement in Germany or the USA.
Re: The judgement is here ...
ALJ Shaw determined that "the evidence supports Microsoft's conclusion that Motorola was not interested in good faith negotiations and in extending a RAND license to it."
Re: The judgement is here ...
But the point, surely, is that only a German court has the right to decide what the US court has taken it upon itself to decide. Germany being one of the many many countries not subject to US law.
After all, there's bound to be a few things where the legality differs whether youre in the US or the UK. The US has no jurisdiction here, so how is this different?
CA9 is not trying to overrule a German court...
This is a little messy. It is about a flotilla of patents for H.264.
In the USA, Motorola agreed to license H.264 IP on a royalty basis. Motorola had previously been taken to high-courts in the USA to establish reasonable royalty 'terms' with other vendors (Apple). This IP is valid in 15 countries (including Germany) + the Euro Patent Convention.
MSFT didn't accept Motorola's offer. Motorola thought it was reasonable. They went ahead on positioning XBOX and Windows software in Germany, without an agreement.
Motorola filed suit in the USA. The court ruled that Motorola DID NOT break its high-court agreement to offer reasonable royalty terms. MSFT disagreed and appealed this in the USA.
Motorola THEN went to a German court to gain an injunction against Microsoft, on the IP violation.
If they won, Motorola would have to post a bond that would go to MSFT, in case the German court is overturned. Uniquely, German courts allow MSFT two things:
1) to unilaterally request a judge for binding arbitration
2) to establish the size of the bond. MSFT set this at $300Mn
In the meantime, MSFT's appeal was key. MSFT claimed that the German suit couldn't be applied if the royalty was unreasonable. MSFT got that judgement in the USA, but MSFT had to file a $100Mn bond, in case the USA judgement got overturned. This all happened before the German judgement came through on May 2.
The German court ruled for Motorola on the IP violation, but said nothing about the royalties. MSFT hasn't requested German arbitration, either. Motorola appealed the USA finding on royalties.
The USA court feels that it has control over the royalties issue. MSFT has paid its bond in the USA. Motorola is not enforcing its German finding, but isn't paying its bond, yet. MSFT is selling XBOX and software in Germany in open defiance of its lost patent-suit. Motorola isn't enforcing its injunction, until the issue of a fair royalty is resolved in the USA.
Once Motorola puts a number before the USA courts that is considered reasonable, they will get the $100 Million in the USA. They will also back-collect on items sold in Germany. MSFT just didn't want to turn that number-setting over to a German court.
Yeah this is going to go down well in Deutschland...
The Reg has tried to bumper-sticker the issue...
US courts cannot override German courts on issues of German law. HTG, how are any of you believing that THAT could happen.
US courts ruled that two American companies are enjoined on setting a reasonable royalty. Since they don't thing that the two companies have done that, they told Motorola to stop the bond-posting that would being enforcement of the German judgement. Motorola has complied.
No German courts have been ignored here. An American company simply has declined to file the bond that begins the enforcement of the German judgement.
Would like to see
I would love to see the Germans turning around and telling the US court to sod off, the ban should stay. In fact the EU should gather round and back up the Germans in this case and make the ban EU wide. And if the US court doesn't back down then make it a ban on all American imports. IT is time the US backed their nose out of other peoples countries (ALL of them). I don't care whether or not the Germans made the right judgment in this case - but it was THEIR judgment in THEIR country and NOTHING AT ALL to do with ANY American court
As an Amurikin...
...I upvoted your post.
Re: As an Amurikin...
I must heartily agree.
Someone (the US courts) have gone too far.
Perhaps the German courts could demand the extradition of the judges involved in the US case; and try them for contempt.
So the US are saying that.....
they have the right to enforce their laws and court decisions on us in the EU etc ?
Well I say sod off to them, how dare a district court in the US that can't enforce all its decisions inside the US due to different state laws think it has the right to dictate to another country.
I say the EU should set its diplomats on the US government and get them to get the US attorney general to tell this court to stop making themselves look like they think they run the world.
And why would they have the right to tell Motorola where they can sue MS even if a case has already been started, I don't remember Apples favortie judge telling them they had to stop all other actions against Samsung world wide as they were already in court in the US.....
Re: So the US are saying that.....
"Well I say sod off to them, how dare a district court in the US that can't enforce all its decisions inside the US due to different state laws think it has the right to dictate to another country."
The district courts are Federal courts, and Federal law trumps state law. The idea that federal court filings can't be enforced due to state laws is false.
How long before the german court tries to sue the american court?
My monies is on apple filing a patent on the process of suing a foreign court so they can counter sue both.
@How long before the german court tries to sue the american court?
Why bother, just declare the US judges to be in contempt of court. If the poor fools ever make the mistake of landing in the EU they could then find themselves subject to a European arrest warrant and having their arse haulled in front of the German beaks to explain themselves.
Perhaps we could invent some sort of faux rape case in an attempt to lure the American judges to Sweden so that they can defend themselves. The Germans could then issue a European arrest warrant. Unfortunately for the Americans, unbeknownst to them, the Germans convened their equivalent of a secret grand jury and declared the judges 'enemies of the state' for trying to subvert German justice.
RE: could invent some sort of faux rape case
Damn You!!!!
I ruined my keyboard!!!!! (Spitting orange juice over one after reading your comment.)
I'm sure the register gets paid everytime they mention Windows 8, the author of this article managed to shoe horn it in even though it had absolutely no relevance to the subject other than it being produced by Microsoft, why not mention Office and Hotmail as well just for good measure.
@why not mention Office and Hotmail as well just for good measure.

Software plays a major role in the office management of almost all the medical fields. Physical therapy clinics aren't an exception. Physical therapy billing software helps both the owners and the patients of a clinic where the software is being used. The physical therapy billing software often has functions related to billing and keeping the patient's records organized and easily accessible.
Physical therapy billing software improves organization and compliance with medical record keeping and billing practices. Modern medical software is designed by experts in both the billing and the physical therapy field. Such software typically goes through vigorous testing with medical offices.
Such well-designed physical therapy billing software provides a lot of features like generating claims, patient scheduling, and documentation of the patient's visits. Most of the physical therapy billing software has the following modules:
- Check In
- Display
- Update & Bill
- Submit Claim
- Post Payment
- Alert
- Follow Up
All of the above mentioned eight modules have their own tasks which simplifies the billing work in a physical therapy clinic. The tasks that are present in all of the modules pf the physical therapy billing software are as follows:
Check In:
This module deals with getting information from new patients and storing the information. All the new patients will be given a unique code using which they will be identified by the physical therapy billing software when they come for next visit. That unique code is usually called the key tag.
Display module deals with retrieving the already stored patient's information using their unique key tag when needed. Retrieving involves the fetching of the physical therapy patients information such as notes given for an individual patient by the physical therapist, X-rays, and their account data such as the bills paid by them and the mode of payment which they have used.
Update & Bill:
The records including the patient's contact information need to be kept up to date. Billing can include pending claims submitted to the insurance companies, claims that have been denied and need to be edited, and outstanding balances owed by the patients.
Submit Claim:
This involves the task of submitting claims to the insurance companies. The claims will be submitted for payments after they are processed.
Post Payment:
The typical physical therapy billing software allows users to record what payments were collected from insurance companies and customers.
This module is one of the high lights of the physical therapy billing software as it alerts the person who manages the software with delays or underpayments. A common alert function notifies the user if important patient data is missing from the patient's record or billing form.
Follow Up:
This section deals with the task of keeping track of outstanding balances and the status of claims.
Managing all these above mentioned tasks without a proper physical therapy billing software would require a significant amount of time and energy. The physical therapy billing software helps the office staff to be more efficient in this often complicated yet crucial part of office management.

What an incredibly heartwarming film! A+! Wealthy quadriplegic Philippe hires Driss, an ex-convict with a golden heart, to be his live-in caregiver. From that moment on, it was an adventure for the two. It's a great story about friendship in the most unlikely situations, treating persons with disabilities like persons and not their disabilities, and the importance of opening up ourselves to life despite our shortcomings. Based on a true story. People like them make this world a better place. And doesn't François Cluzet look like Dustin Hoffman? All French men are starting to look like Dustin Hoffman to me.

Only in the last few days has therationale behind the UK government's five-year-old estimate of 4,000 women trafficked for sex into the UK emerged. It is based on an extraordinary series of assumptions of which Mr Vaz and his committee would be unaware in reaching their estimate. It is not regarded as having credibility in academic circles.
More on this can be read on my blog at http://stephenpaterson.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/exposed-the-home-office-dodgy-dossier-on-sex-slaves/ [7]
There have undoubtedly been some appalling cases of trafficking into the UK but the extent of the problem has clearly been overstated in the UK just as much as in the USA, where official estimates put it at 50,000 a year around the millennium and barely 1,300 cases had been discovered seven years later, according to the Washington Post (link on my blog). Here in the UK, two unprecedented major co-ordinated police campaigns, between them taking years, found 255 trafficking for sex victims - less than a third of one percent of our estimated 80,000-strong sex worker population.
Fears are that new supposedly anti-trafficking measures here will put more women's lives in danger, including trafficking victims. If you'd like an article on this, do mail me.

You cannot wash brocade with soap and water. It will damage the threads and fray the ends. If you need to clean your brocade before you sew it, have it dry cleaned. If the brocade is wrinkled, iron it carefully. Use a low temperature setting and test a piece of scrap fabric to make sure the brocade does not burn. Use the iron with slight pressure to work out the wrinkle.
Tips on Sewing With Brocade
Brocade is a heavy fabric woven with shiny thread into intricate patterns. It is often used to sew formal curtains or reupholster furniture. You can also pair brocade with other fabrics to sew clothing. Brocade is temperamental to sew, but with a few considerations, you can have a successful project.
Mock Up
If you are sewing your brocade into a complicated pattern, consider making a muslin version of the garment first. A muslin mockup will help you avoid mistakes that will show in your final version and allow you to figure out changes needed in the fitting.
Once brocade has been punctured by a pin or needle, the hole will always show. If you are sewing a simple straight seam, do not pin your brocade. For more complicated seams, pin on the seam allowance, close to the edge of the brocade, so that your stitches are on the inside of pins. Use burr-free pins to avoid snagging the thread.
You can use a universal needle, sharp-point needle or quilting needle to sew brocade. Sharp-point needles have a thin shaft with a sharp tip that is capable of piercing heavy fabrics like brocade. A sharp-point needle is more likely to break, however, than a sturdier universal needle or quilting needle. Universal needles have a sharp tip with a slightly rounded end and quilting needles have a tapered end.
Since brocade can fray, sew with a wide seam allowance. Use cotton or polyester thread with an overlock stitch. To finish the internal seams, bind the seams with satin binding or sew a flat fell seam. Line garments with interfacing, such as batiste, silk organza or flannel.

I have very bad insomnia for years whereby I can sleep for a only an hour or so then my body and mind thinks its time to do a marathon, this has been very frustrating. I have treid many products that just don't help at all, I've also tried prescription meds which thank God I have now come off because of this recipe below. So, for over a week I have been taking 1 x Source Naturals Theanine Serene with Relora + 1 x Source Naturals Night Rest and 1 X Organic Valerian (or this MRM, Relax - with Phenibut) 1/2 hour before bed and again (not the MRM, Relax) when I wake at 2 am (ish). I sleep for average 9 hours, quite a miracle I'd say. For some this will be too much but you could begin to experiment. I tried omitting the 2 am but it doesn't work, I just stay awake. You may need to add more or have less but this is perfect for me. Hope this works for you or something simular. Each one of these do not work well enough on their own tho, but are a power house together.
works good but..

One has to take 4 large capsules to get a decent effect of 500 milligrams of phenibut. There is only 125 mg's phenibut per capsule. If you buy the primaforce phenibut for $2 more you get 90 caps of 250mg's each(double). An even better value is just to buy the powder & add any additional herbs like valerian or lemon balm yourself if you want a little extra kick. I do the powder myself now because of the value makes a HUGE difference! If i mix in a valerian, l-theanine & melatonin, I find I need less phenibut(500mg) to sleep like a baby! This is a good product though if you don't mind paying more for a lower level of phenibut in a good mixture. Good luck!!

Here you will find an evolving list of researchers around the world who do agent-based modeling or related work. This list is intended as a resource for those interested in discovering people doing interesting research in ABM or related fields in different disciplines. Where ever possible, I try to link a picture of the person, which is directly linked to their website.
Total Researchers Listed on this Page: 32
José Manuel Galán research interests include water management, replication, agent-based modelling, game theory, social networks and the use of models in general.
Mauro Gallegati's research interests include the application of agent-based modeling to macroeconomics, and the use of heterogeneous interacting agents for understanding monetary economies.
Rosanna Garcia's research interests include new product development process; complex systems as applied to the innovation process; agent-based modeling of social networks; diffusion of innovations; emergence of radical innovations; management of technology; and resistant innovations.
César Garcia-Diaz's research interests include computational organisation theory, social networks, complex social systems, and agent-based modelling.
Jacques Gautrais's research interests include collective movements of sheep and fish, and nest building by termites and ants, which are paradigmatic examples of complex systems in animal societies: the collective dynamics results from numerous agents interacting locally. As a biologist, his goal is to decipher the individual behavioural rules which can produce and explain the observed dynamics at the collective scale. He uses agent-based modeling approach to (a) write statistical procedures for extracting behavioural parameters from experiments (inversion problem, system identification) and (b) explore and understand the predicted properties at collective scale, and the associated parameters sensibilites (Monte-Carlo method).
Felimon Gayanilo had been developing software packages for over 2 decades, primarily working in the field of fisheries and ecological science, essentially translating scientific concepts to scientific software tools that can be used to validate the concept and publication. His work took him to various countries as an IT specialist/consultant in natural resource management. He has lead teams to develop national information systems and in the continental USA, he has taken lead roles in the development of the GIS-based Data Navigator for South Florida and similar decision support facilities, participated in ontology and semantic web application, development of the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) data portal and importantly, development and application of agent-based modeling system to understand emerging behaviors to ecological disturbances.
Armando Geller's research focuses on: building construct-valid social simulation models and fusing formal and idiographic approaches; the bi-directional relationships between agent cognition and behavior, social mechanisms, and social structures and processes; applying and creating procedures for empirical and structural model validation that help establish correspondence between the model and the target system across multiple scales and data types; power and elites, and anomie, neo-patrimonialism and clientelism in armed conflict; and representing the cognitive and behavioral architectures of agents in social, cultural and political interactions.
Charlotte Gerritsen's research focues on the analysis of criminal behavior, which involves biological, psychological and social factors and their mutual interactions. Criminal behavior can thus be viewed as a complex system to which she applies agent-based modeling.
Aditya K. Ghose research includes: agent-oriented conceptual modeling and questions relating to how agent-oriented conceptual models co-evolve. In AI, his interests include agent-based systems, specifically constraint-based agent programming languages and extensions to AgentSpeak.
Joseph Giampapa's research interests include autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, agent-based modeling and simulation, artificial intelligence, and language technologies, for the purposes of achieving understanding, control, predictability and justified confidence in the behavior of distributed, autonomous, and socio-technical computer systems.
Simone Giansante's research interests include banking, financial networks and systemic risk has been forged over a number of years starting with a PhD titled "Agent-Based Economic (ACE) Modeling of Payments Media: Emergence of Monetary Exchange, Banking, Large Value Payment and Settlement Systems".
Nigel Gilbert's research interests include processual theories of social phenomena, the development of computational sociology and the methodology of computer simulation, especially agent-based modelling. He is Director of the Centre for Research in Social Simulation.
H. Randy Gimblett is the Chair of the Conservation Planning and Policy group & Professor at the School of Natural Resources and the Environment of the University of Arizona. He has been engaged in research work in studying human-landscape interactions and their associated conflicts and public policies related to protection of special environments and environmental experiences for nearly three decades. He has expertise in the assessment of recreation planning and management, environmental planning and impact assessment, agent-based modeling, visitor use management, the evaluation of human use patterns, interactions and responses across various landscape scales, pedestrian and visitor modeling, the study of human/wildlife interactions and more specifically coupling human-landscape systems modeling across space and time at multiple scales. He works closely with stakeholder groups and has extensive experience understand recreation conflict assessment using a variety of techniques. He is currently involved in land use and land cover modeling in response to climate change and working closely with stakeholders to resolve environmental conflict.
Jarl Giske's research focus on a basic understanding of processes at the level of individuals drive the dynamics of populations and communities (e.g., learning and foraging) with the help of agent-based models.
Jacob Goldenberg is a professor of Marketing at the School of Business Administration at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research focuses on creativity, new product development, diffusion of innovation, complexity in market dynamics and social networks effects.
Ashok K. Goel's research focuses on computational design and creativity. The goals of his research are to model human creativity in practical tasks such as conceptual design of complex systems and to develop interactive tools for aiding people in creative tasks. His research posits analogical reasoning, visual reasoning, and meta-reasoning as fundamental processes of creativity. Computer-aided engineering design and computer-supported science learning provide two real-world domains for exploring analogical, visual and meta-reasoning. Current projects explore analogical reasoning in biologically inspired engineering design, visual reasoning on intelligence tests, meta-reasoning in game-playing agents, and learning about ecological and biological systems in science education.
Nick Gotts until 1996, his research focused mainly on qualitative spatial representation and reasoning in humans, other animals, and computers. At that time he switched to work on complex systems dynamics, particularly on agent-based social simulation, but also on cellular automata. Since July 1998 he has been designing and experimenting with agent-based models of land use and energy demand at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute. Particular interest include the distinctive features of complex adaptive systems which include agents capable of modeling and criticizing the systems to which they belong (e.g., people), systematic approaches to comparing agent-based models, the relationships between analysis, simulation and empirical approaches in the study of complex systems, and the development of formal methods for describing, assessing and comparing simulation models and linking them with quantitative and qualitative evidence. Since April 2001 he has headed the FEARLUS (Framework for Evaluation and Assessment of Regional Land Use Scenarios) research team. at Macaulay Institute Since December 2008 he has been coordinator of the European Commission FP7 project GILDED (Governance, Infrastructure, Lifestyle Dynamics and Energy Demand). He is co-editor of the ESSA newsletter, and a member of the ESSA management committee.
Shawn Graham's research interests include: digital media for teaching, learning, and research in history and archaeology; other parts contain Netlogo agent based simulations of various aspects of Roman history and archaeology, and historical scenario-building for commercial games
Adela Grando is currently working on the specification, design, analysis and study of theories and formal frameworks with application in the area of Health Informatics. In particular she is interested on: workflow-based frameworks and concurrent processing, decision-support systems (mainly argumentation-based logic), patient safety (detection, prevention and recovery of anomalies during workflow enactment) and protocols of communication for multi-agent systems.
Jakob Grazzini is a Phd student at the University of Turin within the Doctoral Programme in Economics and Complexity. The aim of his present research is to understand the economy as a complex system and to study the importance of emergent properties within economic and financial systems. In particular he is working on computational finance, to analyze the effect of algorithmic trading on stock markets, and on estimation and calibration methods for agent based models.
Amy Greer's research interests focus on epidemiology, ecology and evolution of infectious disease and include: waterborne diseases, sexually transmitted infections, zoonoses, hospital-acquired infections
environmental health, antimicrobial resistance, vaccine preventable disease, mathematical modeling and simulation, and public health policy.
William Griffin builds agent based models of micro-social interaction. His current work revolves around the identification, the quantification, and the subsequent computational modeling of the behavioral dynamics observed during complex social processes — such as children forming playgroups or adult couples engaged in a conversation.
Francisco Grimaldo's research includes MADeM, the project on multi-modal agent decision making; social decisions in multi-agent systems; multi-agent simulation; crowd simulation; and behavioral animation of synthetic characters. He also does research on applying multi-agent systems to tackle complex problems such as urban mobility, scientometrics and economical markets. Moreover, he studies the scalability of Java-based multi-agent programming frameworks.
Volker Grimm's research interests include the methodology and philosophy of ABM/IBM. Methodologically, he focuses on "Ecological models, in particular simulation models, often seem to be formulated ad hoc and only poorly analysed. I am therefore interested in strategies and methods for making ecological modelling more coherent and efficient. The ultimate aim is to develop preditive models that provide mechanstic understanding of ecological systems and that are transparent and structurally realistic enough to support environmental decision making."
Elizabeth Groff's research interests focus on crime and place; modeling geographical influences on human activity; agent-based modeling as a methodology; crime prevention; and policing.
Dan Grollman's research considers Robot Learning from Demonstration (RLfD) as a means of performing Human-Robot Policy Transfer. The goal is to allow a human user to instantiate, on a robot, an autonomous control policy to perform a desired task without performing a detailed analysis of the task itself or explicit coding. His work focuses on using statistical machine learning approaches to infer these controllers from noisy, suboptimal, and ambiguous human demonstrations.
Louis J. Gross' research interests include: mathematical and computational ecology; environmental modeling and restoration; grid-computing and multimodeling of ecological systems linked to abiotic influences; spatial optimization and control in conservation ecology and natural resource management; quantitative curricula and training for the life sciences.
Alejandro Guerra-Hernández's research interests focus is on rational models of agency, the BDI intentional approach is well known in the agent community. It is grounded on two philosophical concepts: Intentional systems à la Dennett; and Michael Bratman's theory of practical reasoning. The model is formally well founded in a serie of multi-modal logics, widely studied in the 90's. Different BDI architectures have been implemented, e.g., PRS, dMARS, !jam. His lab is working on projects to address two types of problems with these models: The lack of social, multi-agent explicit functionality; and the lack of learning competences.
Corrado Di Guilmi uses agent based modelling in macroeconomics for microfouding Post Keynesian models of financial fragility. Together with Mauro Gallegati and Simone Landini he is currently developing an analytical technique of aggregation of heterogeneous agents using statistical mechanics tools. In this context the agent based simulations are a benchmark to test the performance of the new aggregation method.
László Gulyás' research interests are focused on the methodology and application of agent-based modeling. Besides his theoretical work on this subject, he participated in the conceptual and technical development of several ABM platforms. Currently, he is leading the development of the Multi-Agent Simulation Suite that includes FABLES, a dedicated simulation language for agent-based simulations; MEME a tool to help the methodologically correct and efficient exploration of large simulations/parameter spaces; and PET a tool for participatory simulation. Regarding the ABM, Dr. Gulyás has worked with economists on various topics (explaining Zipf's law in city size distributions, extending discrete choice econometric models with social influence, modeling the international bank crisis, studying tax avoidance behavior, artificial stock markets, etc.), political scientists (state formation and conflict, evolution of cooperation, three person IPD games, etc.), traffic engineers, theoretical biologists (evolution of complexity, speciation, etc.), sociologists and social theorists (evolution of norms) and computer scientists (analysis of ant algorithms). A special interest of Dr. Gulyas's is the synergy between social network analysis and ABM, where he currently studies models of dynamic networks.
George Gumerman's research interests focuses on evolving cultural complexity and past human adaptation to the environment in the American Southwest. Much of his research has involved working with teams of natural scientists in detailed reconstruction of former environments and understanding the social adaptation of prehistoric peoples to those landscapes. More recently he has worked with computer modelers and social scientists creating agent-based simulations that compare the evolutionary trajectory of an actual prehistoric group with a simulated artificial group. The agent-based modeling efforts provide new insights into the role of various natural and cultural factors in the evolution of culture.
Alexander Gutfraind research interests focus on developing mathematical and agent-based models to illuminate problems in complex systems and counter-terrorism using methods from the theories of complex networks, discrete optimization and dynamical systems.

The pilot trainee and instructor pilot were conducting the fifth flight in accordance with a training program developed by the operator. Satellite tracking data showed the airplane conducted four touch and go's, and satellite signal was lost on the fifth landing. A pilot-rated witness, who was located in his airplane at a taxiway/intersection, observed the accident airplane appeared to be set up for a short field landing based on the final approach descent angle and full flap position. Approximately 10 to 12 feet above ground level (agl), the airplane appeared to flare and then drop onto the runway. The airplane bounced and became airborne with the wings in a straight and level position. The airplane then drifted to the right of runway centerline, and the witness heard the "engine power come up." The airplane's nose suddenly pitched up and approximately 30 to 40 feet agl, the airplane stalled and impacted the terrain in a nose low attitude. The instructor pilot stated that he had no recall of the accident flight or the previous several days. Examination of the airframe showed the flaps were in the 30-degree extended position, and the elevator trim was approximately 10 degrees nose up. No anomalies were noted that would have precluded normal operations. The pilot's operating handbook supplement for "Balked Landing" procedures required the retraction of flaps to 20 degrees immediately. An elevator trim stall occurs when full power is applied to an airplane configured with excessive nose-up trim. Positive control of the airplane is not maintained resulting in a stall. These types of stalls usually occur during a go-around procedure from a normal landing. During the previous four flights, the instructor pilot noted on a grade sheet that the trainee was "below standards and needs additional training" on areas to include approach to landing stalls, short-field landings, and judgment. In addition, the instructor pilot noted the following comments, "[Trainee] sometimes struggles with aircraft trim, tries to 'muscle' aircraft...Sometimes initiates flare too high, but has enough finesse for a safe landing -- except for short field landings, where he doesn't have the airspeed to sacrifice. For short field approaches, needs to work on a stabilized approach and not flaring high." The operator's program required an initial assessment to be used as a tool to help develop the individual "Master Training Program" which was to serve as the trainee's "roadmap" to gain experience, skills and knowledge necessary to complete the trainee program. An initial assessment was not completed by the operator for this pilot trainee.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

It's a long way, figuratively and literally, from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to Los Angeles, but comedian Tracey MacDonald found her way. In college, friends convinced her to enter the campus comedy contest. "I had my jokes ready, my set list, and I practiced in the mirror with a brush. I went up and did my time, and loved it right away. I thought, 'This is what I want to do.'" Nothing else appealed to her, but she did decide to stay in college and get her bachelor's degree. "My parents said, 'Get your degree, then do whatever you want.' Somewhere in a diary I wrote that I wanted to be a prosecutor," she laughs. "I didn't plan on being a comedian, I just fell into it, but it was a very natural thing for me to do right from the beginning." Though she would still have to develop a comedic voice, she was instantly comfortable with the joke-writing and -telling process. A hugely successful run on Star Search prompted her move to the U.S. Lately, she's been looking to move beyond her comfort zone of self-effacing humor and short setup/punchline gags.

Follow USHJA Social Media
USHJA and the Youth Committee are proud to announce the 2014 Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Finals will be hosted by the University of Findlay November 13 – 16, 2014, at the James L. Child, Jr. Equestrian Complex at the University of Findlay.
Each year, the top-three finalists in each zone and the top-10
individuals nationally who have not qualified by being on a zone team, based on Level Two Quiz scores of 90%
or higher, are invited to compete at the HQC Finals. The three top-scoring finalists in each zone comprise
the zone teams. These finalists also compete as individuals.
The HQC Finals may incorporate an Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Team and/or a United States Pony Club Team in addition to the 12 zone teams. HQC participants who are also IHSA or USPC members may declare participation with either their respective zone, IHSA or USPC Team once they become eligible for HQC Finals. Participants who declare for a team as stated above and do not make the team may be eligible to be an individual national finalist providing their Level Two scores qualify for an individual position. If, at a later time, a spot opens up on their declared team, they may be invited to participate in the Finals with their team.
The Experience
Horsemanship has been a very important component of the EAP from the start; therefore, as a portion of the
HQC Finals experience, participants audit intensive riding and horsemanship sessions led by
world-renowned clinicians and stable managers during the EAP National Training Session. Additional clinics, such as
veterinary seminars, trimming and shoeing, saddle-fitting, massage therapy and feeding regimens may be offered.
In addition to these seminars, all finalists participate in a mock hands-on practicum to test their current knowledge of
various horsemanship and stable management applications.
Everyone, regardless of age or experience, can benefit from the years of experience and
knowledge the clinicians share with the group.
All participants take a final written exam that may include multiple-choice, true/false and fill-in-the-blank formats. The three zone teams with the highest Finals written exam scores advance to the hands-on practicum. Additionally, the top three individuals not already on a practicum-qualified team will also participate in the practicum as an individual competitor. The hands-on practicum is taken separately by these 12 individuals and may include handling a horse and horse-related equipment. Each team member's scores are combined to determine the overall team score.
The Prize
The highest-scoring zone team and highest-scoring individual finalist are named the overall winners of the HQC Finals.
Each winner receives a gold medal, a Charles Owen helmet and a $1,000 grant for training and education (e.g., lessons, clinics, camps).
The second place zone team and individual receive a silver medal, and the third place team and individual receive a bronze medal. The $4,000 in training grants are generously supported by the USHJA Foundation.
In 2013, the Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Finals were again held in conjunction with the Emerging Athletes Program National Training Session at the University of Findlay November 15 through 17.
The 2014 Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Program is supported in part by a generous grant from the United States Equestrian Federation.

Bronchitis... :-(
Well, my full-blown bronchitis is back. I've never been rid of it since Labor Day, but now it is to the point that I'll spend the weekend at home, resting, drinking hot water with lemon and putting onion packs on my chest! Grrrrrrr!!!! I HATE giving up my weekend while I'm SICK! I don't have the energy to go out and take photos, although I did take a few yesterday afternoon. And, I can't go visit our son and grandson either and our son is off work this weekend. Bummer! I may post some photos from my archives later because I can't sleep ALL DAY!!! And, yes, Barb...I got a flu shot about 3 weeks ago, but who knows what strain this is!

Givenchy eyelet-studded leopard sandals
Every so often a designer comes up with the perfect formula for a shoe that manages to be eye-catching yet subtle, and that's certainly true of this new sandals style from Givenchy.
Combining a seriously cool chunky modern platform style with a fun, experimental upper, these are the ideal summer shoes for the outdoor party girl. The effect is created through a smudgy leopard print pattern interspersed with hundreds of shiny silver-toned eyelets.
We'd love to see this worn with a drapey black dress, or casual neutrals for every-day stylish fun.

Just when you thought you'd got 'make ya make ya facemelt' out of your head, we have another installment from Hunger TV's video series starring Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne. This time Cara goes solo, singing along to Rita's catchy track wearing hoops the size of her head and dancing in the middle of a hoola hoop. Don't click off the video too quickly though, as at the end Cara D sings a few lines from Carly Simon's 'Nobody Does It Better' What a crooner....
14 May 2013
Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora have fast become two of our favourite BFFs to ever grace Planet Fashion. We've seen them larking about the streets of London, sharing their designer clothes and most recently getting inked by none other than Rihanna's tattoo artist. But one of the most iconic snaps of Cara and Rita's friendship came courtesy of Hunger Magazine.
Rankin shot the duo with mega matching quiffs and practically smooching for the latest edition of his fantabulous magazine - but that's not all! Following a series of many, MANY teasers, Hunger TV have finally revealed a video to accompany the shoot - 'Rita & Cara: Facemelt - The Remix' and it is HEE-LARIOUS. It also really makes us want to be part of the Cara-Rita crew (please).
Directed by Rankin himself, the video sees the model-of-the-moment dress up as, and appear alongside, her bestie for their take on Rita's new single, Facemelt. 'Cara hijacking my video and my life and just basically hijacking me - it's pretty awesome. She's crazy like me. So it makes sense,' says Rita. 'Having the most beautiful woman in the world in your video can't be bad'. Nope, not bad at all.

NC House Panel Considers Pre-K Changes Again
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP/CBS Charlotte) — North Carolina legislators are once again talking about which children should qualify for North Carolina's free preschool initiative for at-risk 4-year-olds.
A House health committee scheduled debate Tuesday on a measure that would in part require families to make less income than is currently required to participate in the North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten program.
The debate comes at a time when states across the country are severely underfunding pre-school programs.
Eligibility is now capped at incomes at 75 percent of state median income, or roughly twice the federal poverty rate. The measure would reduce it to the poverty rate, which is about $19,500 for a family of three.
Gov. Pat McCrory's budget would cap eligibility at 130 percent of poverty, while expanding the number of program slots.
The legislature cut pre-K funding by 20 percent two years ago. Lawmakers have been successfully sued to block other restrictions.

Timothy Weaver, a former life scientist, creates immersive, hypnotic work around disappearing habitat and species; iET+I brings him to Cornish to show his most recent projects.
Timothy Weaver's recent interactive installation, live cinema, video and sonic projects have been featured at all over the Western Hemisphere. On Saturday, March 22, at 8:00 p.m., the Institute of Emergent Technology + Intermedia (iET+I) brings him to the Studio Theater of the Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center to display and perform his newest work. Weaver's "concerted objective is to contribute to the restoration of ecological memory through a process of speculative inquiry along the art | science interface." Weaver, who is Associate Professor, Director, Emergent Digital Practice at the University of Denver, will also direct a workshop at Cornish: Transcoding of Complex Data to Sonic and Video Output w/ MAX/MSP. This is a free event.
Robert Campbell, who along with Jarrad Powell, guides iET+I, is excited to bring Timothy Weaver to Cornish. "Tim is a friend and colleague I've known for several years. We met at the Santa Fe International New Media Festival, where we have both been exhibiting work for the past several years. He is an artist/scientist whose conceptual installation and performance work I respect."
Campbell thinks Weaver is breaking some new ground with work he thinks could inform the institute. "He works with traditional materials in conjunction with scientific data to recast visual and aural information using structural elements of transcoding. Additionally, I have known about his successful new Emergent Digital Practice program that he directs at the University of Denver, and have wanted to bring him here as an advisor and consultant to iET+I as well."
Timothy Weaver received an MFA in sculpture from University of Colorado at Boulder in 1993, an MS in environmental engineering and a BS in microbiology from Purdue University. Weaver's research areas include biomedia, biomimetics, bioacoustics, biological narrativity, emerging interactions, live cinema, immersive environments, sustainable design, ecosemiotics, and ecological memory.
