WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior Republican on the Senate's homeland security committee says at least 20 foreign women were involved in an incident in Colombia involving Secret Service agents, military personnel and prostitutes.
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins said Tuesday that Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan told her that 20 or 21 foreign women were brought to the hotel where 11 Secret Service agents and Marines were before President Barack Obama's visit to Colombia. Those Secret service agents have been recalled and interviewed, Collins said Sullivan reported. But Collins said she remains concerned about whether any of the women posed a security threat to the United States or Obama.
Pentagon officials said Monday that as many as 10 military members may have been involved. Congressional committees are looking into the matter.

Amazon launches Send to Kindle Button for Web content
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is rolling out Send to Kindle Button, a new tool enabling consumers to transmit content directly from the Web to their Kindle device or Kindle-branded reading application.
Rolling out in partnership with The Washington Post, Time and Boing Boing, the Send to Kindle Button enables users to capture and collect Web content to read or re-read it later via Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet, Kindle e-reader or its free Kindle apps for the iOS and Android mobile operating systems. Website owners may add the Send to Kindle Button plug-in for free here; WordPress bloggers may add it here.
Amazon first launched the Send to Kindle read-everywhere initiative last year with similar tools for the Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers, followed by versions optimized for email, PCs and Macs.
Five years after Amazon launched its first Kindle e-reader device, founder and CEO Jeff Bezos said in January that e-books are now "a multi-billion dollar category," with sales increasing 70 percent in 2012. Amazon's digital media revenues totaled $6.51 billion during the fourth quarter of 2012, up 8 percent year-over-year.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - For decades, Baylor has been known as Quarter-Miler U. Clyde Hart built the collegiate track world's elite stable of stallions, producing iconic Olympic gold medalists Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner.
Baylor's track program also has long dominated 4x400-meter relays, an event that requires the smooth transition of a baton from one runner to another at precisely the right moment.
In Baylor's 67-56 track-meet victory over Washington in Thursday night's Valero Alamo Bowl, the Bears proved the baton passing has made its way to the football program.
As departing senior tailback Terrance Ganaway earned MVP honors with 200 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, junior tailback Jared Salubi galloped his way to 101 yards and two scores on just five carries. It was Salubi's second career 100-yard game and his best single-game output since a 131-yard night against Northwestern State as a redshirt freshman in 2009.
A product of Waco High School, Salubi has bided his time over the past three seasons behind Jay Finley and Ganaway just as the latter did with the former the two seasons prior until a breakout 2011 campaign.
Finley established Baylor's single-season rushing record in 2010 with 1,218 yards. That mark didn't last long as Ganaway obliterated it this season with 1,547 yards and a school-record 21 touchdowns.
Somewhat overlooked in Ganaway's blistering performance against Washington was the fact that it was Salubi who first burst through the Huskies' rush defense. Ganaway averaged just 4.0 yards on his first 11 carries with no touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Salubi produced 17 yards on the back end of a double-option run and a 36-yard touchdown burst up the middle in the first quarter. And it was Salubi's seven-yard scoring scamper that capped the Bears' 10-play scoring drive on their first possession of the second half.
"I didn't expect to have a hundred-yard game; anything to help the team win," said Salubi, who had a 98-yard touchdown run against LaMarque High School in the 2006 Texas Class 4A state title game - also played at the Alamodome. "I had a few teammates from high school hit me up before the game ... brought back memories of the state game. There's something about San Antonio and the Alamodome. I guess I do my magic here."
Ganaway took over from there, producing 156 yards on 10 carries after Salubi's second touchdown and found the end zone five times in the game's final 24 minutes. He finished his Baylor career with 2,042 yards and 29 touchdowns, starting only 13 games. Including his freshman year at the University of Houston, where he played with Baylor coach Art Briles, Ganaway tallied 2,592 yards and 35 scores in his collegiate career.
Regardless of who was toting the ball against Washington, the message was simple: Baylor's running back stable is as deep and dangerous as Hart's throng of thoroughbreds.
"Obviously ending the season like this, having a good game, I definitely think it puts an answer in a coach's mind of what somebody can do in a tense situation or in a big-game setting," Salubi said after his Alamo Bowl performance. "But I believe even though I did good, things can change. So I've always got to keep my eyes open and keep hustling."
Perhaps Salubi hears the thundering hooves of his fellow Baylor running backs behind him. Glasco Martin IV, a product of Round Rock's Stony Point High School, and Lache Seastrunk, who transferred to Baylor last summer from Oregon, will give the Bears a running back corps with the potential to be scary good next season.
Martin, who will be a junior in 2012, was used sparingly the past two seasons after redshirting in 2009. He saw action in only three games with nine carries in 2010 and tallied 268 yards and two touchdowns on 40 carries this season. He did not see action in the Alamo Bowl. If Martin bulks up his 6-1, 205-pound frame during the off-season, he could be a Ganaway-like ox.
Seastrunk was one of the nation's most highly prized recruits out of Temple High School a few years back and flew the Ducks' coop after taking a redshirt with Oregon's BCS Championship game participant squad last season. Salubi (5-9, 210) and Seastrunk (5-9, 190) may be smaller in stature but both possess blinding speed and Barry Sanders-like elusiveness, something the former showed on a couple of his runs against Washington.
Ganaway spoke to the bright future of Baylor's running game.
"We're tired of hearing, 'Baylor's losing a guy. It's coach Briles' recruiting strategy to bring in guys that can play. We're not gonna miss a beat without me. So expect big things next year."
Another back in queue with potential is B.J. Allen, who sat out this season as a redshirt. He earned second-team all-state honors at Tatum High School as a senior when he rushed for 1,355 yards and 15 touchdowns.
And Briles is sure to bring in another wave of backs in February's signing class.
Attention to Baylor's potent passing attack with Robert Griffin III slinging passes to one of the nation's deepest and fastest collection of receivers has sometimes overshadowed the Bears' running game since Briles arrival. Baylor has averaged at least 190 yards per game and ranked in the national top 25 in three of his four seasons with the Bears. The lone exception was 2009 when the ground game struggled due to injuries, including a never-full-strength Finley.
The running game peaked this year as Baylor rushed for 3,063 yards and a school-record 37 touchdowns, averaging 5.3 yards per rush and 235.6 yards per game.
"The offensive line played great all year," Ganaway said. "We had some guys play really big around me and help me be an integral part of this program. It's a mentality. (The linemen) go out there and say, 'Beat the guy in front of me and win a game.' That's what they did - they went out there and fought, fought, fought, fought."
Ganaway also proved his mettle against some of the nation's top rush defenses this season. He had 120 yards against TCU (27th nationally in rush defense), 186 yards against Missouri (43rd) and 152 yards against Texas (11th nationally). In those three games, he averaged 7.8 yards on 59 carries and was stopped behind the line only once - a one-yard loss against Texas.
And like any accomplished thoroughbred, Ganaway got stronger down the stretch. After gaining 45 yards on nine carries without a touchdown at Kansas, he produced 658 yards with 11 touchdowns in the season's final four games. He scored at least two touchdowns in each game and was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week after gashing Texas Tech for 246 yards. Ganaway averaged 7.0 yards per carry in the season's final three games.
Now Salubi, Martin and Seastrunk take the baton that was passed from Finley to Ganaway at the end of last season.
Who runs the third leg of Baylor's on-going relay? Only the 2012 season will tell.

Splinter Cell: Conviction Demo NOT Included with Assassin's Creed II
Rumors have been suggesting that customers who buy Assassin's Creed II, will receive an exclusive demo for Splinter Cell: Conviction, for the Xbox 360. The rumors started to appear thanks to a video from the HipHopGamer and a post from a NeoGAF user. The game comes with a card that includes a URL and a code which gives the customer the chance to download a freebie. Right away people started to think that the game is coming with the demo. If that is what you are hoping, then please by all means stop.
We received a picture of this so-called voucher, and from what we can tell — it's not an exclusive demo for the next Sam Fisher title. It doesn't say anything about a demo nor does it even suggest a tease for the game will be available if you purchase Assassin's Creed II. If you read the card, it tells you to "go to the URL, then "enter your key code," from there you'll "receive [a] free instant download." This sounds like nothing more than a free wallpaper or something similar.
Also, it says nowhere on the box that a demo is include with every copy of Assassin's Creed II for the Xbox 360. Don't you think that this is something Ubisoft would want to advertise on the case if it did include a demo? It's not happening, sorry guys.

The show was great. The guys come out into the audience several times throughout the show and interact with the audience and not just the front row but even with kids in the back. They get kids and parents both involved having a good time dancing around and jumping about. Very Fun! They play a mixture of their own songs and covers with a slight twist to make it more family friendly. I highly recommend this show to anyone with a kid. If they are old enough to sing any of the song that are on the show, they will probably enjoy this. The only thing missing was warehouse mouse.

I think I cut into a vein...

On my left arm, near the place where blood is drawn, I cut vertically down my arm. There is a cut about 4 inches long, and it is gaping open bs bring the thin lines I typically see. It's about 1/8 of an inch deep and steadily bleeding. What did I do?!?

Apply pressure! The good news is, if the blood is flowing steadily and consistently, then it is most likely only a vein you hit. If the blood flows in gushes, in pulses that are in harmony with your heartbeat, then it is an artery and you should seek medical attention immediately.
Still, if the bleeding cannot be controlled, tell someone.
I know it can be scary, I've done it myself a number of times..
Once you are okay physically, its a good time to reflect and think about why you cut where you did and why the depth. Sometimes a scare like that is just the thing to help us ease up on SI a little bit.
My advice is to do some research on your body. See maps of where the major veins and arteries are in your body so you know where to avoid them.
Stopping SI seldom happens overnight, but at least this way you can be a little safer until you get there.

It hasn't stopped and the urge to do more damage is there, so I'm grabbing my mom. She is so supportive and I love her dearly.
This will sound so strange, but I wasn't scared of the actual injury, but I was frustrated that I didn't know a vein was there. I'm usually extremely cautious about things like that.
Thanks for the advice (:
And btw, I love your picture...it's my favorite garden flower (: maybe that's why it's in my pic too haha

Good idea! I hope everything gets settled and the urge lessens.
Yeah, I getcha. Unfortunately, they're all over the place.. :/
Oh thank you! One of my good friends took it. I LOVE sunflowers. I actually have a sunflower tattoo on my shoulder. ^_^

On opening the surgical specimen, the center portion of the lobulated nodule showed the presence of umbilication. Light microscopy showed that the lesion was located in the submucosa of the ileum and was composed of pancreatic acinar cells, pancreatic ducts, and islets of Langerhans (Figure 1 and Figure 2). No malignant transformation was found. The mucosal and serosal surfaces of the ileum were normal. The pathological diagnosis was heterotopic (ectopic) pancreas of the ileum.
The lesion, situated within the submucosa of the ileum, shows evidence of pancreatic ducts and acinar cells. Ileum mucosa is visible at the lower right (hematoxylin-eosin, ×100).
Histological specimen of the lesion, which is composed of pancreatic ducts, acinar cells, and islets of Langerhans (hematoxylin-eosin, ×100).
Heterotopic, ectopic, or aberrant pancreatic tissue, also known as a pancreatic rest, is an uncommon congenital anomaly defined as extra pancreatic tissue located far from the pancreas and without connection via vascular or anatomical means to it.1 Several theories have been advanced to explain the pathogenesis and occurrence of heterotopic pancreas. The most tenable and plausible implicates migration and/or rests of branching pancreatic tissue buds from the developing pancreas during embryogenesis.2 The first reported case of heterotopic pancreatic tissues was described in 1729, but it was not until 1859 that histological confirmation was provided by Klob.3 Heterotopic pancreatic tissues have been reported to occur throughout the digestive tract, the most frequent site being the upper gut, including the stomach, duodenum, and jejunum.4 Uncommon locations are the colon, spleen, liver, biliary tract, mesentery, and lymph nodes.1,4 Heterotopic pancreas found in the ileum is rare.
Pathologically, a mass of heterotopic pancreas generally ranges from 0.2 to 3.0 cm in its greatest dimension (average size, 1.1 cm) and usually presents as a well-circumscribed, soft, rubbery, yellow, submucosal or intramural mass.2,5 Some demonstrate central umbilication or ulceration on radiographic contrast studies. Histologically, herotopic pancreas has been divided into 4 types2: type I is total pancreatic heterotopia, which is composed of all pancreatic cell types; type II contains pancreatic ducts only; type III is composed of acinar cells only; and type IV is composed of islet cells only. Our case is an example of type I and had all of the histological characteristics of the pancreas, including acinar cells, islets of Langerhans, and pancreatic ducts. This is typical of extra pancreatic tissue.
Most patients with heterotopic pancreas are free of symptoms and a diagnosis before surgery is difficult. Such cases are usually discovered during radiographic or endoscopic examination of the gut, or during surgical exploration for other disease. Although the most common symptoms attributed to heterotopic pancreas, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anemia, weight loss, and melena, are present at the time of diagnosis,6 this lesion has no specific clinical features. Endoscopic ultrasonography often shows a submucosal bulge covered by normal mucosa with or without central umbilication.1,7 Endoscopic ultrasonography seems to be a reliable method for providing the precise localization, extent, and characteristics of the submucosal mass, allowing one to differentiate it from all other types of masses such as tumors. However, the final diagnosis of pancreatic heterotopia is often reached by histological examination of surgical specimens.
The complications of heterotopic pancreas usually include inflammation with formation of an inflammatory mass, ulceration, bleeding and obstruction, and pancreatitis.5 Malignant transformation is possible and carcinoma of the heterotopic pancreas has been reported.2,8,9 The 3 criteria for a carcinoma arising from heterotopic pancreatic tissue that have been reported by Makhlouf et al4 may prevent its misinterpretation as a metastatic tumor.
Armstrong et al10 reported that differentiation from a leiomyoma or an adenomatous polyp is sometimes difficult; in addition, when the central umbilication is larger than usual, heterotopic pancreas may be confused with the base of a gastric or duodenal peptic ulcer. The leiomyoma produces a smooth elevation in the mucosa and may have central umbilication, but radiography will not show the presence of ducts. A small nodule of heterotopic pancreas cannot be distinguished easily from an adenomatous or regenerative polyp, but a polyp is usually larger and does not show central umbilication.
The management of heterotopic pancreatic tissues is somewhat controversial. Endoscopic removal is at risk of perforation or bleeding because the lesion is submucosal. Operative treatment is considered not only for complicated cases, such as bleeding, obstruction, and malignant transformation, but also for a definitive diagnosis to exclude a neoplastic lesion in symptomatic patients. Furthermore, our opinion is that when heterotopic pancreas is found incidentally, it is advisable to resect it intraoperatively to avoid late complications and a second operation, as well as to avoid the risk of malignant transformation.
In conclusion, we describe a 2.0-cm-diameter mass of heterotopic pancreas involving the ileum in a 62-year-old man. This patient was asymptomatic, and the lesion was found incidentally during emergency surgery. All histological features of the pancreas were seen in the surgical specimen. We recommend that heterotopic pancreas be treated with surgical excision, especially when it is found incidentally during an abdominal operation, to avoid late complications and malignant transformation.

I just bought a Canon MG5250 multifunction printer because I thought that it would work well with Ubuntu, but it's hard to get it to work.
How do I install this printer?
I googled and found the instructions included below. The instructions worked: I now have a fully working printer with color and duplex! For B&W printing, follow Dahzler's answer.
OS: Xubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal
Driver instructions:
I ran a test print that printed a test page with Grayscale, Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black colors with an ubuntu header.
To print in grayscale only, duplicate your original printer and rename the new one something like "MG5250-Black-and-White". Then, in the Properties->"Job Options"->"Other Options (Advanced"), add the option "CNGrayscale" and change the value to "true".
Then, when you want to print B&W (greyscale), just choose that printer instead. I set it as my default printer since B&W is what I print mostly.
Under newer Ubuntu versions (checked with 13.10 and later), just install the cups-backend-bjnp package to use your Canon Pixma MG520 via network. The Printer settings dialog will then find it when you tell it to add a new printer, and offer a Gutenprint driver to set it up.
There's even a PPA you can use, it is as simple as this:
The name of the PPA has changed. I've used this on Precise and Saucy.
I have a Canon MG5250. I had downloaded the
I tried it without the last line and only got driver version 3.4.
Scanner - following the above has got the scanner to work, but only using Canon's utility (not Simple Scan) and only on wirelessly connected devices (my net-book). It doesn't work on my desktop PC which the printer is connected to (USB).
I know this is an old thread, but I think that still many users may be interested in this:
It's possible to make the Canon PIXMA MG5250 working with SimpleScan and others via SANE. The solution is to add the device to the PIXMA SANE service.

Queer 'kiss in' greets Promise Keepers
Promise Keeper participants who stepped outside the Minneapolis Metrodome on the morning of Saturday, July 18, were greeted by an unexpected sight. Nearly 75 protesters stood outside the sports complex, carrying placards and chanting antireligious slogans. Among the assembled were members of Anti-Racist Action (ARA), a group that had organized a queer "kiss-in" to protest the fourth annual men's rally.
"We believe in not ignoring our enemies," said Katrina Kieller, a 21-year-old member of ARA. The group, which has existed since the late 1980s, actively works to combat "racism, sexism, and homophobia," according to Molly Maguire, another kiss-in participant. "We organize direct action" to combat the influence of "any organization who intends to crush anyone who's not rich, white, male, and straight," Maguire, 21, said. Wielding a bullhorn, Maguire revved up protester sentiments against the religious group.
Some 23,000 men had registered for the two-day Promise Keepers rally in Minneapolis, but reports indicated that only 15,000 men attended the event.
Gathered behind a sign that read "My Body, My Choice, My Fist," the crowd of tattooed and pierced protesters actually did little kissing. Rather, they chanted, sang, and waved homemade signs in the air, bearing such statements as "Smash Patriarchy!," "The Homosexion," and "Men of Integrity Respect Women's Equality."
The small band of Promise Keepers outside the facility, meanwhile, remained silent and appeared somewhat confused by the protest. They clapped and cheered, however, as the Minneapolis Police Department, citing city ordinances, escorted the protesters from the Metrodome grounds to the opposite side of Chicago Avenue. "Most people didn't want to get arrested at this event," Kieller said. The group willingly moved to the opposite side of the street.
Roger Chapman, a national spokesperson for the Denver-based Promise Keepers organization, indicated that his group has "no specific statement" about homosexuality. "We follow Biblical guidelines that deal specifically with guidelines about heterosexual marriage," Chapman added. He went on to say that the Promise Keepers did not begrudge the protesters their right to express their opposing viewpoint. "We don't have any disagreement with their criticism, and we believe that they have a right to disagree with us. We don't want to get into the fray on homosexual issues. They don't realize that we are not their real enemy."

Sennheiser are one of the big names in microphone manufacture, but like all the other big names, they've chosen to launch a budget range in order to capture a larger share of the cost-conscious gigging musician and home studio market. Launched at the Los Angeles NAMM show at the start of the year, the complete Evolution Series comprises 10 models, six of which are dedicated vocal mics, the E825s, E835, E835s, E845, E845s and E855. An "s" suffix simply means the model has a switch, so only the E825s, E835s, E845s and E855 are reviewed here. For recording and miking instruments, there are also the E602, E604, E608 and E609 models, which we'll be checking out in a separate review.
Despite the fact that the lowest model in the range is extremely inexpensive, all the mics are finished to the same high standard of engineering and feature a heavy, blue/grey metallic-painted body combined with a very tough wire basket that can be unscrewed for cleaning. Virtually every mic manufacturer claims to have done something special in the way of capsule damping to minimise handling noise and Sennheiser are no exception. The handling noise is acceptably low for live use but, as ever, hand-held use is not recommended in the studio as some low-frequency noise still gets through. Each of the vocal mics comes in a presentation box complete with soft plastic zip-up pouch and a stand clip, but the cable is not supplied. All the models in the Evolution series have a low impedance balanced output on a conventionally wired XLR connector.
The fact that most vocal microphones now look very much alike is a result of evolution -- a tapered handle with a ball-shaped wire grille on top is easy to handle, it looks OK and it protects the capsule from physical damage as well as affording some protection against breath blasts that cause popping. Occasionally, mic designers try to break away from the 'ball on a stick' norm by using an egg-shaped basket or by flattening the the top of the basket, and something of the sort has been tried here. While the baby of the series, the E825(s) has a traditional appearance, the remaining three vocal mics have flat topped baskets.
The cardioid E825s is unashamedly an entry-level cardioid vocal microphone, but you wouldn't guess its price from looking at it, or from listening to it for that matter. It has the smooth lines and impeccable finish of a top-quality European microphone. Of the Evolution vocal mics, it has the most restricted frequency response, specified as 80Hz to 15kHz, augmented by a broad, gentle presence peak centred around 6kHz. This lends the sound a slightly middly quality, but it's not excessively nasal or unnatural and actually cuts through extremely well in a crowded mix. The switch operates smoothly and is positioned so as to make unintentional operation unlikely.
The cardioid E 835s has a similar shaped body, but this time the basket has a flat top. The frequency response is rather wider than that of the E825s, at a quoted 40Hz to 16kHz, but it still has a solid sound that projects well. It's also electrically more efficient than the E825s, producing a noticeably higher output for the same input. As with most vocal mics, there is a presence peak, though it's actually quite subtle sounding, so once again the result is fairly natural.
Unlike the previous two models, the E845s has a supercardioid polar pattern. This is designed to help reduce spill and feedback under live performance conditions, but may also help in the studio when you have two or more players working at the same time and you want to keep the spill level down. As with all hypercardioid mics, there's a rear-pointing lobe that makes it more sensitive to sounds coming at it directly from behind than a regular cardioid, so you need to be aware of where the rear of the mic is pointing. Again the response is 40Hz to 16kHz, and this time the presence boost is between 4kHz and 5kHz and is fairly gentle, which avoids the nasal honkiness some vocal mics produce. The overall tonality isn't much different to that of the E835s, and if I had to compare it with the ubiquitous Shure SM58, I'd say it was slightly more open and brighter sounding, but otherwise not dissimilar.
Also featuring the flattened-basket styling of the previous two models, the supercardioid E855 is the top vocal mic of the range. Its
|"The cardioid E825s is unashamedly anentry-level cardioid vocal microphone, but you wouldn't guess its price from looking at it, or from listening to it for that matter."
As you might expect, the performance improves as you move up the range, but the entry level E825 works a lot better than you'd imagine it would for the price. It's a little less sensitive than the other mics in the range, but it actually sounds quite natural, and once you get close up the proximity effect provides the necessary warmth. This would be a suitable mic for vocal recording on budget multitrackers and similar systems, as well as being an acceptably good live vocal mic, though it also works well on electric instruments such as guitar amps.
As soon as you move up to the E835, the sound warms up a little and the efficiency improves, while at the same time the middly character is reduced. It's always hard to describe the way a mic sounds, but I did direct comparisons with a number of other dynamic models, and found that the overall character came close to that of my ageing SM58, but with slightly less low end warmth and better high end detail.
The two supercardioid models performed extremely well, which isn't surprising considering they're at the more expensive end of the price scale, but there's generally little benefit in using a supercardioid for vocal work in the studio as the timbre can change as the singer moves relative to the mic while performing. Even so, the E855 sounded exceptionally nice, and as with all the mics in the range, it doubles quite happily as an instrument mic.
The dynamic microphone market is hugely competitive, and there's also a lot of inertia that tends to push people towards buying tried and trusted models. Occasionally, however, a new range comes along that pushes the boundaries a bit further. Being honest, I don't think that, measured by performance alone, the Evolution range really does offer anything new, but what it does achieve is a remarkable balance of build quality and performance at a very attractive price. Most dynamic vocal mics are designed with the live market in mind, and these are no exception, but they all work fine for recording, even the budget E825. If you're looking for quality dynamic mics but don't have a big budget, then the Evolution range should meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

Adam Verta, the civics teacher suspended for criticizing the IDF, apologizes to student, attends disciplinary hearing
Shahar Chai
Published: 01.30.14, 18:49 / Israel News
Shahar Chai
Adam Verta, the embattled teacher, attended a disciplinary meeting on Thursday at the offices of the Ort education system to address his suspension. At the end of the hearing, Verta said: "As emphasized by the Education Ministry, meaningful learning is dependent on teachers expressing their opinion. I want to call on all teachers and entreat them to speak their mind fearlessly."
Related stories:
After deliberations on the controversy, the Ort education system management decided not to dismiss the civics teacher.
Still, Sabah said, "I respect him and that's the reason I agreed to the chat. I don't hate him like they said in the press. I have a hard time with what he says, and I would have done the same with any teacher or principal which said such things. It's not because the teacher is called Adam Verta."
Early in the affair, more than 200 students demonstrated
in support of their teacher's freedom of speech.

Unity Health System's Palliative Care Program has received the Health Care Staffing Services Certification and Advanced Certification from The Joint Commission, Division of Accreditation and Certification Operations.
"This is an honor as less than 30 programs have been credentialed for palliative care in the US at this time," said Michelle Carpenter-Bradley, M.D., Chief of Palliative Care. "It gives validity to what we do and acknowledges the work our team does on a daily basis. It is also a testament to the support Unity has for our palliative service."
The Joint Commission took into consideration comparative data to evaluate processes and outcomes, as well as evaluating Unity's perception of quality of service. After an extensive review of the Program, the certification was granted citing that Unity provides safe, high-quality care, treatment and services.

Elephant Room photo by David Fox
The Elephant Room is the most recognizable jazz club in Austin, Texas. The room is open 365 days a year and plays host to some of the world's most beautifully complex music - from jazz-rock fusion to avant-garde to Dixieland. Those of you looking to discover the best jazz music on Earth, the Elephant Room is the spot during the SXSW Music Festival.
The man responsible for booking the Elephant Room, Michael Mordecai, was kind enough to sit down with me for an interview last week. We discussed his job of booking acts across the country, the Austin jazz fusion scene of the 1970s, and his love of softball.
RB: What do you do for the Elephant Room?
MM: What I do is I play trombone, I talk on the telephone, and I play softball on Tuesday.
I play with John Mills Times Ten. The band that I've played with, and John Mills also, since college is a band called Beto and the Fairlanes. And we've been together for 37 years.
In addition to playing in those bands, I'm also the contractor for Bass Concert Hall, the Moody, Backyard, Paramount, Long Center. Any Broadway show or any pit orchestra you've seen [in Austin]. I've had the good fortune to play with Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson. We did the opening off the Moody - 45-piece symphony orchestra for Willie Nelson.
And then the telephone talking stuff…We do more than $2 million in payments to musicians every year. I've had somebody booked every day of your life and beyond. I've had somebody booked somewhere, seven days a week since about 1980.
RB: In Austin the whole time?
MM: Well, from California to Florida. Definitely in Austin seven days a week [the whole time].
RB: How and why did you get started in music?
MM: I've found that music is more of a calling than a conscious career choice. When I was fifteen years old, I started playing with [the University of North Texas] lab band. I played with Bones Malone and Lou Marini and all those guys in the Blues Brothers movie. But I didn't really understand what North Texas was - that it was like a powerhouse jazz program.
When I got to the University of Texas, I found that the jazz program was just starting. I had a lot of experience as a freshman coming in. I was playing with the UT Jazz Ensemble. And one day, a long-haired hippie came and said, "Do you wanna be in a rock 'n' roll band?" I looked at him and said, "It's a trombone..."
And he turned me on to Chicago...and Blood, Sweat & Tears and I'm going, "Whoa, yeah. I wanna be in a rock 'n' roll band."
So that's we did with a band called Zilker Sunday, named after Zilker Park, and we'd play there every Sunday afternoon. Before ACL.
So that band lasted about three years, and we put a record out and we did some good. Then that band broke up and it split into two other bands named Starcrost and Forty Seven Times Its Own Weight.
I read a book by Clive Davis called Inside the Record Business, predicting that there would be a fusion of jazz and rock - which is what we were. So I hopped in my van with two of the guys that were in my band, we drove to California, I walked into Arista Records - which was Clive Davis's record company - and I said, "I'm Mike Mordecai from Austin, Texas. Here's my demo tape."
And the secretary looked at me funny. She said, "Well, Mr. Davis's office is in New York."
RB: How long has the Elephant Room supported SXSW as an official venue?
MM: I believe - I don't know for a fact - but I think by '93. The Elephant Room opened in '91, and I would say certainly by '93. I know that we've doin' it for 20 years.
RB: Do you have any memorable stories from past SXSW Music Festivals?
MM: Well, I know that Joe Lovano played there. I know that Terence Blanchard played there. I know that we've heard some really great music, and we've heard some really crap. But, I think after a few years, we had better communication. And for the past several years, we have been delighted with the music. And the only thing the owner wants to maintain - you know, 365 days a year, we're a jazz club - so, we don't want people to come in and find something other than jazz. And, you know, jazz can go anywhere from Dixieland to avant-garde. So it's a pretty wide slice.
When South By takes over it's a little different because of the international flavor. One of our highlights is having Quincy Jones down there.
RB: What does it mean to you, the city of Austin, and live music in general to have SXSW here in town?
MM: Well, traffic and parking. From the local musician's standpoint. Those are the negatives.
The positives for me are you know that the entire world is here. You know that the industry is in Austin, Texas.
But, for me, it's the personal relationships. I play softball in the SXSW Softball Tournament [every year on Sunday]. And I look forward to seeing [friends]. I've made a lot of friends, even local friends.
I think the friendships that you make from people that are coming in to town. It's a good time to see friends, mix, mingle, enjoy some of the music. I'm looking forward to seeing friends that we see every year.
RB: What's your favorite show that you've ever seen at the Elephant Room?
MM: Discovering Kat Edmondson at the Monday Night Jazz Jam, watching her develop. Watching Ephraim Owens develop. Watching Elias Haslinger develop, primarily at the Monday Night Jazz Jam - which started in 1980.
I've sat next to Clint Eastwood at a Monday Night Jazz Jam, watching his son pop up and play bass - when Clint was here making a movie with Kevin Costner. Norah Jones, and of course Winton Marsalis every time he plays [in town]. He's gonna come down here and do an after-hours jam.

Overcome the 'Deadly Law' of Inflation with Decimals
Don't believe it when you hear on the news that we have low or no inflation. In their great wisdom, the monetary powers have conveniently eliminated food and fuel from the inflation calculation. Regardless, even if you exclude food and fuel, a relatively low inflation rate takes its toll on all financial matters over time. This is why an old mentor of mine referred to this dynamic as "the deadly law." It can sneak up on you if you don't know how to combat it.
Dr. Joe Webb writes about this regularly and is one of the few industry advisors/consultants (he does not like to be called an economist) who gets this in spades. A dollar today is not what a dollar was a few years ago, and unless you adjust for inflation, you are kidding yourself about the numbers.
Why Should You Care?
I am willing to bet that your staff members are noticing their wages don't go as far as they did a few years—or even just months—ago. They want and need pay increases just to stay even with inflation. How do you do that when sales are not increasing and your other costs are rising?
It's simple. OK, it's not that simple, but you can make it simpler if you discipline yourself to adjusting your pricing…in small percentages each time and with decimals. If you are not adjusting your pricing for inflation at least annually or semi-annually, you should be. This is where decimals and fractions can help a lot.
Too often, I see owners thinking in "round numbers." Even if they make a price increase, they tend to do it in whole percentages (2 percent, 3 percent, etc.). But, a few decimals over time can equate to big money when applied to all of a company's business.

Johnson back on top with 2nd Daytona 500 victory
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Jimmie Johnson went two years without a title and suddenly became an afterthought at the Daytona 500.
All the attention went to Danica Patrick and a handful of other drivers.
Not that it mattered Sunday, because look who pulled into Victory Lane.
Five-time is back. Not that he ever went away.
Johnson won his second Daytona 500 on Sunday, a year after he completed just one lap in the race and three months after falling short in his bid for a sixth Sprint Cup title. That so-called drought had made him something of a no-name during Speedweeks.
"In my mind, I didn't feel like I was under the radar," he said. "I felt like we were working hard to put the best product on the track. I guess I was quiet in the overall spectrum of things from the media side. I think people in the garage, people knew we were sitting on a lot of speed and had a very good race car."
But in winning the biggest race of the year, the No. 48 team wasn't sending a message to the competitors.
"I don't think we went anywhere; anybody in the garage area, they're wise to all that," Johnson said.
Johnson's win came on the same day that Patrick, who became the first woman in history to start a Sprint Cup race from the pole, again made history as the first woman to lead laps in the Daytona 500.
She ran inside the top 10 almost the entire race, kept pace with the field and never panicked on the track.
Her only mistakes were on pit road, where she got beat on the race back to the track, and on the final lap, when she was running third but got snookered by the veterans and faded to eighth. That's going to stick with Patrick for some time.
"I would imagine pretty much anyone would be kicking themselves about what they coulda, shoulda have done to give themselves an opportunity to win," she said. "I think that's what I was feeling today, was uncertainty as to how I was going to accomplish that."
There were several multicar crashes, but no one was hurt and none of them approached the magnitude of the wreck that injured more than two dozen fans in the grandstand at the end of the second-tier Nationwide Series race on the same track a day earlier. Daytona International Speedway workers were up until 2 a.m repairing the fence that was damaged in the accident, and track officials offered Sunday morning to move any fans who felt uneasy sitting close to the track.
Several drivers said the accident and concern for the fans stuck with them overnight and into Sunday morning, and Johnson was quick to send his thoughts from Victory Lane.
"I just want to give a big shout-out to all the fans, and I also want to send my thoughts and prayers out to everybody that was injured in the grandstands," Johnson said.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose father was killed in this race 12 years ago, was involved in Saturday's accident but refocused and finished second to Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate.
"Me personally, I was just really waiting to get the news on how everybody was, how all the fans were overnight, just hoping that things were going to improve," Earnhardt said, adding that he "wasn't really ready to proceed until you had some confirmation that things were looking more positive."
The race itself, the debut for NASCAR's new Gen-6 car, was quite similar to all the other Cup races during Speedweeks in that the cars seemed to line up in a single-file parade along the top groove of the track. It made the 55th running of the Daytona 500 relatively uneventful.

Well no it is a Windows 7 Tablet which looks like a stretched out iPhone! This will never make it to production but do checkout Engadget for more details.

TeamViewer for iPhone
I have been using LogMeIn previously to remotely connect to my Tablet PC or Desktop at home for sometime. Like I mentioned earlier the free version was sufficient for my needs. They have an iPhone app but it costs $30. I don't remotely connect often to shell out 30 bucks.
Recently I found TeamViewer via Download Squad. TeamViewer is free for personal use and has a free iPhone app too. It works great. Now if I need to look at some documents on my home computer I can just fire up the app in my iPhone and find it. Nice. Should be interesting to see how this works on an iPad.
Browser Chooser
I use multiple browsers. There are a good number of them out there. I use Chrome as my primary browser but also use IE and Firefox. Some sites work only with IE. I know that sucks but the Outlook Web Access my company provides is an aging version and only IE renders an usable version.
The trouble is which browser do I set as default. Links from external applications open up in the default browser. Here is where Browser Chooser comes in handy. It registers itself as the default browser. When I click on a link in any application it shows a dialog like above and lets me choose the browser I want to open. Simple but very useful. Check it out.
Presto: Instant on for every PC?
I heard about Presto at jkontherun. It sounded very interesting:
With Presto you can start up your computer in seconds – or shut down in one second, like magic. You will be able to instantly start to e-mail, chat, Skype™, listen to music, surf the internet or download apps – before Windows XP or Vista even boots – and you will automatically be connected to the best available network.
- Browse the web securely using Firefox™
- Chat using instant messaging (IM)
- Make free Skype™ to Skype™ calls
- Listen to music and watch videos
- View and edit documents created in Microsoft Office™
- Download games, music, videos and more through the Presto Application Store
So I installed it on my tablet to try it out. The installation was very simple and straight forward. When I rebooted I was provided with an option to boot into Presto. Well I did not measure the time but it was not "instant on". I could have booted into Windows 7 if I had waited for a few more seconds. Windows 7 boots really fast.
Once I booted up I was able to connect to my wireless LAN without any trouble. The big icons on the screen wanted me to use them with touch (my tablet has a touchscreen) but touch does not work. Other wise the OS is usable but I hate the fonts! I was able to find and install a screenshot app without any problems.
Will I buy Presto for $20? No. I would give it a shot if it booted instantly or with in 5 seconds…
Windows 7 and Hosted Exchange Server Issue
I use a hosted exchange for my email based on this blog's domain. Ever since I installed Windows 7 I could not login to this server via Outlook 2007.
I usually sign in using my email address as the username. But Outlook kept asking for my password even though I enter the correct one.
I came across Craig Pringle's post about this issue. Here is the solution he proposes:
When you try to open Outlook you are prompted for credentials. With most hosted Exchange providers you use your email address as the username. If you do this on Windows 7 (M3) I have found that you are repeatedly prompted for your credentials but no matter how carefully and correctly you type your password it just keeps prompting you.
If you run into this issue try entering you username in the DOMAIN\Username format instead of your email address. I don't know why this works, but I know it does for at least two Hosted Exchange providers. Contact your hosted provider if you are not sure what the domain name is.
In the end he says to get the domain name from the hosted provider. My provider is www.themessagecenter.com. I asked them but they tired to answer but I was not successful with the information they provided. They basically said I use vasanth.in as the domain name. Since Windows 7 is in beta they do not support it and may be I did not ask the right question.
But currently I was setting up the Exchange mail in my Nokia E71. Their support site said that I use "shared" as the domain name in one of the setting. I immediately tried "shared" as the domain name. And it worked! Cool.
So my suggestion is if you run into the same problem look for the domain information in setup instructions for Windows Mobile.

The demoscene makes its way to the PS3 in a title that will leave some thoroughly confused and others stroking their goatee as they write a detailed analysis on their Mac, pausing only to fix their beret. And other artist stereotypes.
Linger in Shadows is not a game. Let's just get that out of the way first. It is marketed as interactive 'art' of sorts, although it's more like an interactive tech demo in all fairness. Confused? Wait until you try it out.
This oddity comes from an underground culture of artists that create real time graphical videos (rather then pre-rendered FMV) that tries to utilise hardware to its fullest. Apparently it started in the crazy 80s, where demoscene artists would use their Commodore 64s and ZX Spectrums to make animations. These days they do it on toasters and washing machines and anything with computer chips in it.
The title has two modes, and some more information on the demoscene, although chances are if you bought it, you already know what the demoscene is. The two modes are 'Linger' and 'Watch', and both incorporate five small cutscenes and transitions which basically add up to a very short film.
In both modes, there are points where you can change the perspective of a variety of items/background elements. One bit may want you to twist around the controller, which in turn rotates a stone dog, or you can change the spin of a crazy shadow thing by pressing up or down on the D-Pad. You can pause the game by pressing X at any point, where you can find out which movements (if any) can be used at this particular point. You can also fast forward and rewind using R2 and L2 respectively, and take screenshots which will store on your hard drive with the select button.
The artistry looks good, if a bit random. Floating trees? Flying dogs? A stone octopus? For anyone who doesn't get the demoscene, Linger in Shadows will prove a complete mystery, even if there are some puzzle elements as outlined below.
In the Linger mode, you need to perform certain actions to move on to the next scene. It's not difficult, as the actions you need to perform do show up when you have paused playback. You may need to shake apart a scene to move onto the next, or see the scene unfold through a cat's eye. Did it come up that this title is confusing?
One of the things this title is good for is Trophy whores, erm, aficionados. There are sixteen Trophies to collect, and you can get most of them in the twenty or so minutes it takes to complete the Linger mode. The rest need to be sought out in the watch mode by looking in the right places.
Overall, it's an interesting idea, probably more so if you follow the demoscene. But if you a lack of appreciation for in-game artistry, the only reason to get it is if you want sixteen Trophies in thirty minutes.
|Linger in Shadows Review by PSU Staff
-The Final Word-
Gamers need not apply. This one is for the arty folk out there. Add five points to the final score if you fit into that category.

Imagine a world where microwave-beaming rovers cook dust into concrete landing pads … where your living quarters are dropped onto the land from above, then inflated like an inner tube … where the grit is so abrasive that even the robots have to wear protective coveralls. It may sound like science fiction, but these are actually some of the ideas being floated as part of NASA's plan to build a permanent moon base starting in 2010.
To follow through on those sky-high ideas, the space agency is turning to some down-to-earth experts, ranging from polar researchers to miners and earth-movers.
- Illinois-based Caterpillar and allied companies have been advising NASA on the dynamics of dirt and the challenges of moving heavy equipment over the lunar surface.
- Canada-based Norcat and Electric Vehicle Controllers are working together to develop a drill suitable for mining on the moon. Norcat is traditionally better-known for its industrial safety training programs, but this June the company is sponsoring a planetary mining conference, with the moon in its sights.
- Delaware-based ILC Dover, which manufactures components for NASA's spacewalk suits as well as the airbags used by NASA's Mars rovers, is branching out to develop inflatable prototypes for lunar habitats. Nevada-based Bigelow Aerospace may offer its own inflatable modules for future moon outposts.
- The National Science Foundation is working with NASA and ILC Dover to build and deploy an inflatable test habitat in Antarctica later this year.
Why inflatable habitats? Bienhoff explained that the metal-hulled modules used on the international space station couldn't make it to the moon because they're too heavy.
But there are some lunar challenges that go far beyond what Antarctic researchers have to deal with.
For example, radiation exposure poses much more of a risk on the moon than it is beneath Earth's warm blanket of atmosphere. Habitats on the moon might have to be covered by heaped-up lunar soil, also known as regolith. Other shielding materials could include tanks of water, or strategically placed hardware, or extra layers of reinforced polyethylene.
Moon dirt isn't all bad, however. If you know how to treat it right, it can serve as a building material as well as a source for vital supplies — and that's where companies such as Caterpillar enter the picture.
Construction and mining companies have been advising the more traditional aerospace companies on all those issues, said Larry Clark, senior manager for Lockheed Martin's spacecraft technology development laboratory. It turns out that a heavy-duty Caterpillar tractor probably wouldn't be suitable for the moon, he said.
"We can't afford to launch a large vehicle like that, so we've got to make things smaller and lightweight, but just as efficient mechanically," he told MSNBC.com.
Another neat trick involves cooking the lunar soil right on the surface to turn it into a concrete-hard crust. "You take a microwave and heat the soil up, and it actually fuses into a solid," said John Stevens, Lockheed Martin's director of business development for human spaceflight.

text: A while back I stripped the paint off of my early 1990s cannondale r600, since I already had it mostly apart to replace the bottom bracket and headset, and since it was decorated with the "cool-back-then" black and neon pink. But now it is back together, and things just don't seem the same without the graphics. Does anyone know where or how I should go about finding another set? Obviously, I don't want to get a replacement set from the same year, since they would be neon pink. In fact, a nice yellow would probably go nicely with the scheme I have now. Do they have a general set that isn't bike or year specific, or does anyone know of a particular year and model for which cannondale used yellow graphics on a road bike? Has anyone else done this? If any of you are dealers and can sell me what I'm looking for, email me at email@example.com

38 Alabama has averaged 38.25 points per game in four games away from Tuscaloosa. The Tide has scored 153 points in wins over Clemson, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee. UA scored a season-high 49 points on the road at Arkansas on Sept. 20. The fewest points on the road were the 29 points at Tennessee on Saturday, which still resulted in 20-point win.
86 Roy Upchurch had a game-high 86 rushing yards for Alabama on Saturday against Tennessee. His previous high was 91 yards in the Tide's 49-14 win at Arkansas on Sept. 20.

103 Alabama freshman wide receiver Julio Jones had six catches for 103 yards in the win over Tennessee. It was the first 100-yard game by an Alabama receiver this season. He had two key catches on the Crimson Tide's lone TD drive in the first half, hauling in a 19-yard catch on first down from the Tide 34-yard line and then adding a 35-yard catch on the next play to give UA a first down at the UT 12.

U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, County Commissioner Burt Aaronson and Sheriff Ric Bradshaw were also there to show support for Deutch. County Democratic Chairman Mark Alan Siegel and Wellington Mayor-elect Bob Margolis were also part of a crowd of about 100 that overflowed a county Democratic Party storefront office.
While the event was for Deutch, the star of the show might have been Sam Oser, the Century Village of West Palm Beach Democratic activist who is celebrating his 86th birthday today. After the crowd sang Happy Birthday, Oser used the opportunity to give an impassioned speech, augmented by hand gestures, on the need to protect Israel from the threat of a nuclear Iran.
