HEAD coach Gary Thornton expects York City Knights' new defensive structures to come under immediate scrutiny when they face a strong Castleford side in their opening friendly of 2014.
Aussie half-back Brett Seymour heads a magnificent seven new signings who have been named in the Tigers' 21-strong match-day squad for Sunday's outing at The Jungle (1pm), the bulk of which is made up predominantly of Super League players.
Ireland captain Liam Finn, who has moved from Featherstone, Frankie Mariano, Marc Sneyd, Andy Lynch, Scott Wheeldon and Michael Channing also make their Cas bows, with the likes of fit-again Justin Carney and Craig Huby likewise included.
Knights fans who make the trip to Wheldon Road can also expect to see full-back Jordan Tansey, who had such a disappointing spell with York before being taken back to the top tier by the Tigers, line up against his former club.
Thornton said: "They're putting out a strong side with plenty of established Super League players and a sprinkling of youngsters.
"It's a big test for us but we're looking forward to our first hit-out. We will be doing an awful lot of defending but that will test our new structures we've brought in.
"Our boys are chomping at the bit. We've been in (training) since November and December and they can't wait to get out there and play a match. It will be a fantastic test playing against Super League opposition at a Super League ground."
Michael Shenton, Jake Webster, Adam Milner, Luke Dorn and veteran Lee Gilmour are omitted from the Cas party, mainly due to injury concerns, but this gives youngsters like Ben Reynolds, Jordan Howden, Brad Day and Will Maher the chance to make an impression.
Cas boss Daryl Powell, the one-time coaching consultant at York, is expected to start the game with his strongest 13. He said: "This is really the start of our pre-season programme and it's an important game leading into a crucial season.
"The squad for Sunday is a very strong one and I am looking for a tough and organised performance." The winners of the match will be awarded the Paul Higgins Memorial Trophy, named after the former development guru at both clubs, which was last played for in 2012.
Advance tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for juniors and concessions. Matchday admission costs £12 and £6 respectively.
Castleford: Jordan Tansey, Justin Carney, Marc Sneyd, Andy Lynch, Craig Huby, Grant Millington, Daryl Clark, Oliver Holmes, Frankie Mariano, Scott Wheeldon, Richard Owen, Michael Channing, James Clare, Dan Fleming, Liam Finn, Charlie Martin, Ben Reynolds, Brett Seymour, Jordan Howden, Brad Day, Will Maher.

Preparing for Your Kitten
We proudly feed our cats and kittens Lifes Abundance Holistic Formulation...Please watch the pet food manufacturing video and order on site below if desired.
How to Make your Home Ragdoll-Friendly
I will be quoting a lot of this chapter from the book "The Guide to Owning a Ragdoll Cat",by Gary Strobel and Susan Nelson. I highly advise this book to everyone, even the ones who have a biology degree and have spent their life with animals!!
Having personally observed friends who are new to the cat world…I am amazed at what people don't think of in regards to protecting a little one….so I feel I must list a few things in detail.
Before bringing your Ragdoll home, examine your home from the perspective of a tiny kitten. Getting down on your hands and knees may seem silly, but it will help you to realize what may present a hazard to your Ragdoll. Remember, your little Ragdoll is full of curiosity and anxious to explore its world. He or she will find any crack or crevice and climb in. There will not be a square inch of your home that is not left unexplored. Therefore, it is your responsibility to assure that your new kitten's home is safe.
Hazards include electrical cords, open toilet seats, unattended flames on stoves and candles, hot liquid in potpourri bowls, hot stove burners, wall or space heaters, fans, open oven doors, open refrigerator doors, open dishwasher doors, open trash compactors, open clothes dryers, unattended dishwater, bath water, all cleaning supplies, tiny objects that could be swallowed, open fireplaces, open windows, loose window screens, balconies, electric paper shredders set on automatic, thread, string, rubber bands, ribbon, yarn, and sharp ojects such as broken glass, discarded staples, needles, pins, feathers bitten from kitty toys, and knives.
Also please remember to secure your window blind strings. Kittens are frequently hung in these things. Be careful when closing open drawers, as kittens love to crawl inside and behind them to explore. Be very careful when opening the refrigerator door and closing it.
The injuries resulting from the above hazards can be heart wrenching. I observed a dear friend close the refrigerator door on her new baby and instantly kill it. Kittens pop their heads up under it to take a peek just as you are slamming it closed and you will have a broken neck.
Kittens can get severe electrical shocks and burns and die from biting into electrical cords that are not covered with foam insulation tubes. Drowning can occur when a kitten falls into an open toilet, bath, or sink of dishwater. Flames, space heaters, hot liquid, open oven doors, and hot stove burners can catch fur on fire, and burn right through the skin, or cause severe blistering of tender paw pads.
Kittens have been killed when clothes were quickly thrown into a clothes dryer and the drying cycle started. I still remember the devastation of hearing my cousin talking about this occurrence.
Since cats have little spines on their tongues that force them to swallow whatever they get even partially inside their mouths, they can swallow stapeles, pins, thread, and myriad other objects. Once inside the digestive tract, these objects can pierce the intestine or twist up inside the bowel, causing an obstruction.
Household cleaners can be licked up or transferred to the kitten's mouth by self-grooming after the kitten walks across a surface cleaned with a poisonous substance.Check all labels; if you see that any label has a poison control telephone number listed, do not buy it.
Finally, many cats have been maimed or died falling through open windows and loose window screens; many more have died because their owners never realized that they would jump from an open balcony.
An additional hazard is living plants. Many are poisonous and they will eat them. Choose Holiday decorations carefully or better yet not at all. Never give your kitten access to a vase of cut flowers that are poisonous, cats will sample vases of flowers. Instead purchase wheat grass and catnip for their grazing. And keep your flowers and plants in a kitty free zone.
Although this list of hazards may seem quite lengthy, you must protect against all of them. If you do, you will save your kitten potential injury and yourself trauma/grief/the loss of a soulmate and unexpected vet bills.
Your new Ragdoll will tend to want to be with you all the time and is very easily stepped on. You will be amazed at how quickly a kitten or grown cat can silently move from one area of a room to another point right under your feet. Be cautious when rising from your chair or recliner…recliners easily decapitate kittens. Pushing back in your computer chair will almost always squish a leg….shuffle your feet when getting up in the dark to go to the bathroom. You won't see them in your path.
We proudly feed our cats and kittens Lifes Abundance. Please watch the Whats in your Pet Food Video and order on the icon below.
Feeding your Kitten
Please feed your kitten Lifes Abundance food/canned salmon/grilled chicken breast or canned Lifes Abundance and provide fresh wheat grass and catnip. I leave dry food out all the time for nibbles throughout the day and feed moist food 2x daily 6 am and 6 pm. Lifes Abundance is far superior to other brands I have investigated. They are both a natural, healthy, holistic food with real human grade organic meat, wholesome whole grains, garden veggies and healthy fruit, probiotics, omega 3, vitamins and minerals and antioxidants. No by- product meats and fillers, preservatives and color. Holistic Blend Sea Greens or Lifes abundance supplements and cat treats.
When kittens are young to prevent diarrhea please stay with Royal Cannin 34,36 or Lifes Abundance with warm water. You will need to use a rolling pin to break the pieces into smaller bites for some cats and all kittens. But the cats prefer a more complete nutrition with the organic meats of Lifes Abundance and their coats improved dramatically within 2 weeks of switching!
Litter Dangers
Please do not use the clumping litters…when kittens get it on their tongues from grooming it swells in their stomachs and can cause a deadly bowel obstruction…I recommend MiMi litter from Walmart. It is simply a silica gel that drys out the smells and mess. Scoop it out 2x daily and 1x each month rinse and bleach it out. Leave the litter box in the sun for 10 min and then coat it with cooking spray. Fill with clean litter and this will prevent clumps from sticking to your box.
What is so special about Ragdolls?
Your Ragdoll will want to be with you all the time. You'll be met at the door when you arrive home and followed around the house, even into the bathroom. When taking a shower, expect your Ragdoll to watch and wait patiently for you right outside the shower. As you push aside the curtain or showerdoor, you'll see your Ragdoll looking up at you with those big blue eyes. Your Ragdoll will be curious and eager to meet and greet guests to your home. If you want a lap cat, the Ragdoll is for you. Ragdolls need their owner's attention and lots of love. If not on your lap, your Ragdoll will be lying nearby.
Very few breeds of cat offer the intimate companionship of the Ragdoll. Persians are purchased for their beautiful coats. Maine Coons are purchased for their large size. Siamese are purchased for their blue eyes. Himalayans are purchased for their dramatic color points. Ragdolls are purchased for their purrfect personality. As a bonus, you get a beautiful coat, large, stunning blue eyes, calm laid-back personality, and the classic pointed pattern—all together in one fabulous package called the Ragdoll.
"Never before in the history of the cat fancy has a breed taken over the hearts and homes of so many people so quickly. Word of this new and fascinating breed is sweeping the world, and Ragdoll breeders are having trouble keeping up with the demand. The Ragdoll is the gentle giant of the domestic feline world, and, as you will see, the perfect cat for the 21st century."

5.0 stars 20 totalReview James Radford
Posted by Abe
I found James through Avvo and hired him for my employment discrimination case. I worked with him since early 2012 until the end of 2014, when we finally reached a settlement on the brink of trial. I worked in managment for a major retail chain and was terminated after I complained of disparate pay between myself and a co-worker of a different race. I was terminated shortly thereafter, and the company made up a legitimate reason for doing so. Through discovery, James was able to show that the company's rationale was not correct. We were ready to go to trial when the company finally offered a meaningful settlement. It made a big impact on my life, and I cannot thank James enough for his hard work and dedication.
Posted by jeremiah
james, thank you for your help to my family. our settlement was confidential, so i have to be careful what i say here. but i suffered a real civil rights violation and nobody would help until i found james. he fought aggressively and we reached a fair settlement. i cant thank you enough.
Posted by Marissa
I worked in sales for a major construction firm. I was terminated after being accused of something I did not do, and was replaced by a much younger employee. James was very aggressive in his letters with the company. He filed an EEOC charge and was able to settle the case for the equivalent of one year salary, which really saved me from bankruptcy and allowed me to get my feet back on the ground until a new opportunity came along. I could not be more grateful. Thank you James!
Posted by Jared
i lost my job right after i became disabled.. my company didn't want to give me any accommodation.. i was eventually able to find another job.. but i lost almost a year of income.. i had a real hard time finding a lawyer who would take my kind of case.. james filed a lawsuit and company agreed to pay almost 2 years wage to settle the case.. i am so thankful to this day
Posted by Carol
I first hired James to help with my unemployment case. He looked carefully at all my records and told me I had a case for unpaid overtime wages as well. He and his staff spent hours meeting with me and on the phone getting all the facts. They figured out exactly how much I was owed, sent a great letter to my company, and were able to negotiate a fair settlement. I would highly recommend James, Caleb and Keith to anyone.
Posted by anonymous
Mr. Radford and his team, including Caleb Gross, enthusiastically took on my case where I needed to head-off my ex employer's attempt to make me pay back almost $1500 in Unemployment Insurance I had received, which could have caused a hardship for me and my family.
The employer was trying to shroud my discharge in allegations of incompetency and tardiness instead of stating the "real" reason. The actual reason was that it was in retaliation for my threat to file an EEOC Harassment Charge under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Mr. Radford and Mr. Gross cleverly guided my previous employer, during the GDOL Appeal Hearing, into admitting under oath, and in a legal preceding, that he had in fact fired me "mainly" because of my threat to file the EEOC Charge.
Thanks to my legal team, the GDOL Appeals Hearing Officer, saw this for what it was, an allowed my benefits to stay with me. His statements in his ruling indicated that he believed I was fired in retaliation and NOT because of a "spell of being late for work" or "failing to follow orders and using company computers for personal reasons" as was the given reasons when I was fired.
I give them both kudos. Well done guys!

Atorney Radford is an excellent and honest Lawyer. I will definitely recommend him for anyone who need of a lawyer. He will fight for your rights! Good Job for your wonderful work.
Posted by Tanya
I am an attorney who needed help with a legal matter that was not within my area of expertise. I'm so glad that I selected James to represent me. He was very knowledgeable and practical. He did a great job of staying focused on what mattered most to me - winning. I felt very confident with James and would not hesitate to refer anyone to him for his legal services.
Posted by Lisa
James Radford is the best lawyer that i have used for representation
Posted by Lee
Mr. Radford represented me in an EEOC case. He was extremely knowledgeable about the issues of law in this area. I found him to be very well prepared, insightful and an astute negotiator. He calmed my anxiety and I really felt he became the lead attorney in the room. Without hesitation I would chose Mr. Radford to represent me again.

Anoka-Hennepin will expand its social studies Advanced Placement course offerings next year.
The district will update its social studies curriculum as a whole to better align with state standards.
New state standards were introduced last spring, so this year, teachers have studied curriculum to determine what areas of study they need to hit harder and what areas warrant less attention, according to Ellen Delaney, the director of secondary curriculum, assessment and instruction.
Geography was one such area.
Previously, geography lessons were folded into a number of social studies courses. "There was a concern that by embedding it in all the history classes, it just didn't get due diligence," Delaney said.
So, a one-trimester geography course was developed for ninth-graders. In 2014-2015, all incoming ninth-graders will be required to take the geography course, or opt for a more rigorous alternative: a two-trimester AP geography class.
Previously, AP U.S. history was the first AP course students were able to take in District 11 high schools.
AP courses allow students to study subjects at the college level in high school. Exams in the springtime determine whether students receive college credit for their work. Many colleges and universities give credit for scores of three or higher; the highest possible score on an AP examination is five.
The district offers AP classes in a variety of subject areas.
With the addition of AP geography, ninth-grade students will be thrust into college-level academics for the first time, if they choose to be.
AP classes often serve as an "eye-opener," clueing students in to the kind of studying required to succeed in more challenging classes, Delaney said. Some ninth-graders are more than ready for a challenge, she said.
About 10 percent of Anoka-Hennepin's incoming ninth-graders registered for AP geography next year, and staff hopes that number will grow as the course finds its footing.
Another change in social studies curriculum is the introduction of AP world history, which aligns better with new standards than AP European history did, teachers found. AP European history will still be offered, as an elective, but AP world history is now the compliment to the global studies course taken during students' junior year.
In total, social studies teachers have recommended the district purchase six new books, which is extremely unusual, according to Delaney. "We try to use materials to their death," but new standards sometimes require new texts, even when the old ones haven't quite reached their end-of-life, she said. The district is reusing whatever it can, she added.
The new state standards made ancient civilization a topic of study for the primary grade levels, and Minnesota studies became a focus for secondary students. Previously, ancient civilization was studied in the middle grades, and Minnesota studies was taught in the elementary schools.
So, new textbooks at appropriate grade-levels had to be purchased. Third-graders will hone in on the cultures of ancient China, Egypt and Greece, while sixth-grade students learn about their home state.
Books need to be purchased for both geography courses, AP world history and a U.S. government and politics course for seniors.
Teachers, students and parents evaluated new texts before the school board approved the purchase of staff's first-choice recommendations May 27.
In total, copies of the six books will cost $464,568, which is within the allocated budget for the department, according to Delaney and Laurie Resch, director of elementary curriculum, instruction and assessment.

VIDEO: Sneak Peek at Denzel Washington in THE EQUALIZER
In this new clip from the upcoming action film THE EQUALIZER Tony and Oscar-winner Denzel Washington seems to be just a tad suspicious at the "police officer" who comes to his door asking about a recent murder. Needless to say, they both have something to hide. Check out the clip below.
In the drama, Denzel Washington portrays McCall, a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters.
As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall's desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

Update on John Vennari from John's wife, SusanWritten by Michael Matt | Editor
John is still with us, despite a great deal of suffering. That he is still here is in itself somewhat miraculous.
It seems just recently that St. Philomena has put herself in front of us again to get our attention and focus our prayers to her.
Please, then, join us in this novena to this great saint, beginning immediately, to end on March 20 (which is the date on which we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph this year).
We are asking her to obtain a complete cure for Joseph John Vennari.
Thank you, thank you.
Susan Vennari
Novena to St. Philomena
O great St. Philomena, glorious Virgin and Martyr, wonder-worker of our age, I return most fervent thanks to God for the miraculous gifts bestowed on thee, and beseech thee to impart to me a share in the graces and blessings of which thou hast been the channel to so many souls.
Through the heroic fortitude with which thou didst confront the fury of tyrants and brave the frowns of the mighty rather than swerve from thy allegiance to the King of Heaven, obtain for me purity of body and soul, purity of heart and desire, purity of thought and affection.
Through thy patience under multiplied sufferings, obtain for me a submissive acceptance of all the afflictions it may please God to send me and as thou didst miraculously escape unhurt from the waters of the Tiber, into which thou wert cast by order of thy persecutor, so may I pass through the waters of tribulation without detriment to my soul. In addition to these favors, obtain for me, O faithful spouse of Jesus, the particular intention I earnestly recommend to thee at this moment.
(Mention specific intention here)
O pure Virgin and holy Martyr, deign to cast a look of pity from Heaven on thy devoted servant, comfort me in affliction, assist me in danger, above all come to my aid in the hour of death.
Watch over the interests of the Church of God, pray for its exaltation and prosperity, the extension of the faith, for the Sovereign Pontiff, for the clergy, for the perseverance of the just, the conversion of sinners, and the relief of the souls in Purgatory, especially those dear to me.
O great Saint, whose triumph we celebrate on earth, intercede for me, that I may one day behold the crown of glory bestowed on thee in Heaven, and eternally bless Him who so liberally rewards for all eternity the sufferings endured for His love during this short life. Amen.
Imprimatur: Canon Emmanuel Anaquim, V.G. Lisbon, November 21, 1945

Tight races rule Tuesday elections
by Katie Zerr
The Tuesday, April 10 races for mayor and a seat on the Mobridge-Pollock School Board were tight as the victors in those races squeezed out wins by small margins.
In a close race, Jamie Dietterle edged out Jay Shillingstad to become the new mayor of Mobridge. Dietterle received 446 votes; Shillingstad had 419 and Jerry Weischedel received 152 votes in the election.
In the race for a seat on the school board, Jane Looyenga pulled out a victory by edging her opponents, Rose Henderson and Orland Geigle 377 votes to 366 and 296 respectively.
Mobridge residents went to the polls in good numbers to vote for a choice of three candidates, Dietterle, Weischedel and Shillingstad.
"I want to thank Jay and Jerry for running," said Dietterle. "It takes a serious commitment to want to hold this office. They are both good men."
He said he wanted to thank his family and friends for supporting him and to thank the people for having the confidence in him to vote for him.
"We have a lot of work ahead of us and I am anxious to get things started," he said.
Mobridge Finance Officer Heather Beck said there was a "good voter turn out" for the election.
Looyenga received 358 votes at the Mobridge poll station, nine votes in Pollock and 10 votes at the Mound City polling place.
Henderson received 357 votes in Mobridge, three in Pollock and six in Mound City.
Geigle received 175 Mobridge votes, 110 from Pollock and 11 in Mound City.
For the school board election nearly 39 percent of registered voters voted in Mobridge, more than 41 percent of eligible voters went to the polls in Pollock and more than 32 percent of voters cast a ballot in Mound City.
Looyenga said she is excited to get started in her new position.
"I am eager to do my best for the students, families and communities of Mobridge-Pollock," she said Wednesday.
In Ward III Randy Carlson defeated Liz Rische, 177 votes to 89.
"I want to thank the residents of Ward III for electing me," he said Tuesday night. "I will do what I think is best for them and the for the people of Mobridge."
Carlson said he is looking forward to the challenges that face the city and to working to get the pending projects completed.
Ward I Councilman Tom O'Connell will retain his seat as no challenger filed a petition for that seat.
There was not an election in Ward II, as incumbent Amy Cerney will continue representing the ward as no one challenged her.

A nonstress test is used in pregnant women to evaluate the heart rate of a
developing baby (fetus). Normally, a developing baby's heart rate ranges from 100 to 160 beats per
minute, and it usually speeds up after the baby moves. If the heart rate is
faster or slower than this range or does not speed up after the baby moves, it
may mean that the baby is not doing well.
During the test:
A nonstress test usually takes about 30 minutes. It can be done in a
hospital or the doctor's office.

I took a quick peek over there and thats all they keep saying.
They probably believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too. Besides, they're right. It WILL very likely go elsewhere within a year... to PC. It will VERY likely never be on a the PS4.
by the way, there is another practice they are applying here.
remember watch dogs? it is said that the pc version was crippled on purpose to be on par with the console versions. there were a wide variety of settings found in the game's code that were omitted in the final build, the game was supposed to feature more pedestrians better graphics etc.
tomb raider def. edition ran horrible on the xbone. they want to release it on the xbox first so there are no better versions out there to buy. which will maximize the sales on the weaker platform. the rest can buy it on other systems later on, which will be a more stable build.

It being a timed exclusive makes sense on SE's part.
The game is going to be released on the Xbox One around the same time as Uncharted 4 for the PS4. If they were released at the same time, RoTR would barely make a dent on PS4. So, it will release on PS4 six months after Uncharted 4, and that will increase the number of sales because SE is counting on a lot of people being done with Uncharted 4 when the PS4 version of RoTR drops.
They get money from MS, and they get more sales on the PS4. Now, the only way that it will happen is if it a good game. If it is pretty mediocre, then SE's plan would be for naught. However, they scored money from MS for making the game exclusive.

Read that closely and it says that the Tomb Raider release in holiday of 2015 is exclusive.
Find a single quote that says Tomb Raider is exclusive with no limiters.
Hint: You can't. Because it's not. It's absolutely a timed exclusive.
As per usual, Xbots jump to the "only Sony fanboys can believe". You guys really are delusional.

And where, in plain English, do you see them confirm it's a "lifetime exclusive" and not timed?
You really can't see why people are having doubts? Jesus, did even read the damn thing?
Whether or not this game ends up never coming out on PS4 remains to be seen, this confirms absolutely nothing, so saying that it's already been confirmed to be a lifetime exclusive is a load of crap.
It's mostly trolls floating there. The last TR game on the X1 and PS4 didn't even hit 500K. That's not many people.
The X1 hit 170K, my guess is that it is mostly trolls swimming around.
To put mildly MLB14 outsold TR on both consoles and no one likes baseball. I don't even
I still don't even understand why waste the money on something that is already being bought by X1 owners, I am purchasing my son the game on the X1, just like I was going to buy it when it came out.
It makes no difference, the people that are going to purchase it are still going to purchase it. If you get 10 percent PS4 guys to buy the console and say it sold 600k on the PS4, that is only 60k new owners. Why spend the money, especially when the last game didn't so bad.
Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem.

the same thing happenedd with ninja gaiden 2. in fact microsoft made itadaki complete the game before it was due, so that it could come out and compete against metal gear solid 4. then we all know how things turned out with ninja gaiden 2 sigma.

"Rise of the Tomb Raider, coming Holiday 2015, is exclusively on Xbox"
Learn English. As stated, that means it is exclusive to the Xbox. PERIOD. If it said "Rise of the Tomb Raider is coming Holiday 2015 exclusively to the Xbox", THEN it would imply it was timed. As stated it means "the game, is coming, and is exclusive". There is no way you can understand sentence structure in English and read that as "for now".

Coverup theories on JFK assassination explored at Duquesne University
Five decades have done nothing to blunt the debate over who pulled the trigger — or triggers — in Dealey Plaza.
A month before the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, about 450 academics, students and history buffs gathered in Pittsburgh on Thursday to start three days of discussion on what they say is wrong with the government's official explanation.
Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, whose namesake institute at Duquesne University is hosting the "Passing the Torch" symposium, said he still expects the government to "throw in the towel" and admit the Warren Commission and other official investigations covered up a conspiracy.
"Those here under 40 will see that day," said Wecht, a forensic pathologist and former Allegheny County coroner who was among the first to openly question the commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. "I used to think it would be in my lifetime."
He and others cited recent polls showing that up to 85 percent of people think Oswald was not the lone gunman.
Dr. Robert N. McClelland, in a videoconference feed from Texas, described a scene at Parkland Hospital that conflicts with the government account.
As a senior attending physician, McClelland treated Kennedy and described seeing a large exit wound from the back of the president's head. He said he later saw an autopsy photo in which Kennedy's head appeared to be patched up.
"I was 18 inches above the back of the president's head," he said. "I paid a lot of attention to that."
Attendees heard and saw photographic and acoustic evidence, both enhanced by new technology, that presenters say buttresses their case that multiple shooters fired on Kennedy from several angles.
"A half century later, independent researchers are coming up with new proof," said Robert J. Groden. In 1975, he was the first person to publicly air the Zapruder film of the assassination and, like Wecht, he worked with the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
He was one of many who sneered at the single-bullet theory that the late Sen. Arlen Specter put forth as a lawyer for the Warren Commission.
Across the state, a Single Bullet Exhibition opening Monday had a special preview at the Arlen Specter Center for Public Policy at Philadelphia University.
In Pittsburgh, director Oliver Stone, whose film "JFK" introduced alternate theories of the case to a new generation, joined a panel discussion on how media covered the investigation, and he planned to speak again on Friday.
Also planned for the conference's final two days were presentations on the prosecution of Clay Shaw, an analysis of Air Force One tapes recorded after the killing and a discussion of then-CIA Director Allen Dulles.

|Obama Unveils Plan to Send Every Student to College
The community college proposal, which Obama has labeled the American Graduation Initiative, is consistent with Obama's goal of postsecondary education for all Americans. "Whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma," he declared to Congress in February.
Along similar lines, Congress is also considering legislation that would involve the federal government even further in the business of disbursing student loans. On July 15, Rep. George Miller (D-CA) introduced a bill that would increase Pell Grants, not through subsidies to private lenders as Congress has done in the past, but through offering college loans directly from the federal government to students.
Conservatives are skeptical that short-circuiting supply and demand for higher education through more huge infusions of federal aid will result in the jobs and prosperity Obama promises. "More and more money has been pushed into higher education, both the schools and the students, for decades," says the Cato Institute's Neal McCluskey. "Most of what that's translated into is waste. So you've seen tuition skyrocket, you've seen these building arms races on campus."
In an article for Reason magazine (8-3-09), one bright college student draws several parallels between these higher education funding initiatives and the policies that contributed to the housing bubble and resulting collapse. "Someone decided homeownership was a good thing for almost everyone," writes Amanda Carey, "so the government started pushing people to buy homes, using the tax code and other incentives. The same thing is happening with college. But instead of people getting loans for houses they could never pay off, 18-year-olds are getting excessive loans for college. And just as we saw before the collapse of the housing bubble, the price of going to college in America is skyrocketing."
Carey points out that direct government lending to students marks one step further in the same direction the country traveled when Congress approved massive bailouts for the banking industry. It also further undermines the constitutional roles of both president and Congress.
Carey writes,
Federal involvement in education is nothing new, but President Obama is taking it to an extreme level by taking the financing of college out of the private sector entirely. With the increase in and government administration of Pell Grants, Obama is aggressively funneling young people into college, a decision that just isn't right for everyone. Apparently it's not enough to be the country's head auto exec and commander in chief: Obama is eager to try out the role of guidance counselor in chief, too.
While both the American Graduation Initiative and the Pell Grant expansion have wide Democratic support in Congress, Democrats also face growing disapproval from the public of the unprecedented levels of deficit spending since 2008. (Washington Post, 7-14-09)

After four decades of public service, Sen. Kit Bond will retire after his 40th year in public service in 2010.
Bond made the announcement before the Missouri General Assemble yesterday.
"In 1972, I became Missouri's youngest governor. Ladies and gentleman, I do not aspire to become Missouri's oldest Senator," he said during his speech released on his Web site.
Bond first was elected to state wide office in 1970 when he was elected state auditor. In 1972 he began the first of two terms as governor of Missouri and has spent four terms in the U.S. Senate.
Bond in his address pointed to many of his bi-partisan efforts over the years and said he will spend his remaining two years in the Senate working with Democrats and Republicans to solve many of the issues facing the nation.
Missouri Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan, in a statement released Thursday, said Bond was always willing to work across party lines.
"Since being elected to Congress, I have had the opportunity to work with Missouri's Senior Sen. Kit Bond," Carnahan said. "While we haven't always agreed, he has had the willingness to work across party lines. As we face many big challenges, we will continue to draw on his experience to find solutions for our state and nation. Along with other members of the Missouri delegation in Washington, and citizens across the state, I thank him for his many years of public service."
Bond will spend today and tomorrow touring the state to celebrate his decision with supporters.
Speculation has already begun about who will run to replace Bond in 2010. Missouri Attorney General-Elect Chris Koster is already throwing his support behind Secretary of State, Robin Carnahan.
"As talk turns to 2010 and who may replace Senator Bond during these challenging economic times, I am confident that the Democratic Party will nominate a strong candidate, and we don't have to look any farther than Robin Carnahan," Koster said in a statement released Thursday. "As Attorney General, I look forward to supporting her, if she chooses to run."

Jean Simmons was born in London in 1929, and had made her decision to be an actress by an early age.
But the time she was 14 she plucked out of her dance classes to make her first film appearance in Give Us the Moon, to play a precocious teenager.
Her acting talent and good looks quickly got her noticed, and by 1946 she won plaudits for her key role in Great Expectations as the haughty servant Estella alongside Sir John Mills' Pip.
This was followed with a starring role opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in Shakespeare's Hamlet the following year.
Her role as Ophelia led to her first Oscar nomination, for best supporting actress.
Simmons also starred in epic Biblical film The Robe in 1953, a movie which has become a staple of Easter TV schedules.
The actress' personal life was also undergoing big changes and in 1950, she married actor Stewart Granger, who she co-starred in several films with.
Five years later they had a daughter, Tracy, but by the time the child was five her parents had divorced.
Despite these difficulties, Simmons' career had been going from strength to strength.
By 1960 she married her second husband, the writer and director Richard Brooks, and went on to have another daughter, Kate, in 1961.
Simmons continued to make films throughout the 1960s and 1970s, including the Stanley Kubrick's Roman epic Spartacus with Kirk Douglas in 1960, as his lover Varinia.
In 1969 Simmons received her second Oscar nomination - this time for best actress - for a film by her husband called The Happy Ending.
She also appeared on stage, including her role as Desiree in the London première of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music in 1974.
Great Expectations
Her marriage faltered during this period, however, and she and Brooks split in 1977.
By the 1980s her film work had begun to dry up and so the actress appeared in several TV min-series and shows including Valley of the Dolls, North and South and The Thorn Birds.
She also made her second appearance in Great Expectations - this time the 1989 Disney TV remake - in which she played the aged, eccentric Miss Haversham.
Other notable TV appearances include Hawaii Five-O (1968), The Odd Couple (1970) and Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).
In 1991 she also starred in the BBC series Miss Marple, alongside Joan Hickson, in an episode called They Do It With Mirrors.
Four years later, Simmons made a return to the big screen in How to Make an American Quilt, which co-starred Winona Ryder and Anne Bancroft.
She now lives in the US, but has continued to work in TV shows including a part in hit series Xena: Warrior Princess as Varinia - the same name as her 1960 character in Spartacus.

Dallas' Five Best Places to Buy Food to Eat Outside, Which Is a Thing People Do
On second thought, just give me the whole wedge.
Usually summer in Dallas is ushered in with 100-degree-days, slicks of perspiration and a general sense of suffering experienced whenever you walk outdoors. As this Memorial Day weekend approaches, though, it is surprisingly gorgeous out. Who knew such things were possible?
Maybe summer in Dallas doesn't have to suck -- at least for now. So, before those temperatures climb into the stratosphere, grab a blanket and pack yourself a picnic. Here are a few great places to fill your basket.
Scardello (Pictured above) Scardello has been king of the picnic basket for years now. Once I was at the Dallas Arboretum with friends and a wasp flew into my boot just as a couple had gotten engaged while fawning over a basket of Scardello's wine and cheese. I screamed and kicked my boot off through the air creating a terrible scene, but their perfect moment was not ruined. You know why? High quality wine and cheese.
You won't even make it out of the store with this thing intact.
Carbone's For the ultimate working-class picnic, head to Carbones, get seven or so hoagies (Italian combos) and throw them in a cooler with some beer. Better yet, do it a day ahead so the bread gets a little soggy with Italian dressing, if you're into that sort of thing. If you're not into cold cuts there are meatball, eggplant parm and other hot sandwiches. Either way your picnic blanket will be the place to be.
Bolsa Mercado This Oak Cliff market that serves as a commissary for Bolsa is practically one big picnic store. Order your sandwiches and sides at the front, and then shop the shelves for beers, sodas and extras while your order is assembled.
Friends don't let friends picnic without beer.
Catherine Downes
Craft and Growler Who says a picnic has to be about sandwiches? Beer is bread and there's nothing wrong with drinking your picnic. The best place to get beer to go is undoubtedly Craft and Growler. Pick out a container from the wall, fill up and you'll have the best picnic beverages in the park.
Green Grocer This is where you come when you're looking for a picnic with a side of feel good. Greenville Avenue's all things local, organic and fresh market is a great spot to grab sandwiches, salads and other sides for your outdoor meal. Don't forget a wheat grass shot and a smoothie on the way out the door. It just feels good.

Advanced library format "attacks" advanced design issues
Post a comment
Wolfgang Roethig, Senior Engineering Manager, EDA R&D Group, NEC Electronics Inc., Chairman of Accellera's Advanced Library Format (ALF), Santa Clara, Calif.
Traditionally, ASIC design has been focused almost exclusively on timing closure. Heuristic rules and guard bands were used to protect the design against adverse effects on signal integrity, such as noise or electromigration. However, it is well known today that such guard bands are no longer sufficient; they have prevented the efficient use of technology to the point that clock frequencies above 200 MHz could be reached only with difficulty on ASIC-style designs.
Therefore, point tools have been introduced into the design flow to analyze signal integrity more accurately, looking at such issues as crosstalk-induced noise, electromigration, hot electron and antenna effects.
In addition, static timing analysis has been enhanced to consider crosstalk-induced delay. Conventional crosstalk-aware timing analysis is done by an iterative combination of delay calculation and static timing analysis. To calculate crosstalk-induced delay, the arrival times of aggressor and victim must be known; to calculate arrival times, delay must be known. Convergence is reached after a certain number of iterations between delay calculation and static timing analysis.
In this approach, timing, noise, electromigration, hot electron and antenna effects are checked and eventually fixed through scripts prescribing incremental layout changes. The point tools are mutually unaware of other effects. Therefore, fixing an electromigration violation may cause a timing violation and vice versa.
For high-end designs in system-on-chip style, the method of iterative analysis and repair of signal integrity violations by independent point tools is inefficient. The analysis and repair functionality has to be integrated into the same tool.
The quality of results depends on the quality of the analysis models that are provided to the tool. These models reside in a technology library, described in the Advanced Library Format (ALF), an emerging IEEE and IEC standard. ALF is the only available industry standard that can describe not only timing, power and noise, but also electromigration, hot electron, antenna and more in a comprehensive and unified way.
For technologies of 0.18 micron and smaller, the shape of the signal waveform plays a significant role in describing the timing characteristics. A driver resistance model can predict the shape of a waveform and its distortion by noise. Eventually, multiple signals on coupled nets switch simultaneously and cause mutual waveform distortion. The driver resistance model makes it possible to calculate the resulting waveforms using linear circuit analysis.
Those waveforms depend also on the alignment of the original ones. If pessimistic time windows are used, the waveform alignment is not known with much certainty. Therefore, the concept of activity windows is introduced. The idea is to calculate multiple narrow time windows of possible switching activity per clock cycle in order to decide with more certainty whether aggressor and victim waveforms will overlap or not.
Each activity window is associated with bounds for output arrival time, slew rate and driver resistance. These parameters are calculated from input arrival time and slew rate, using timing models in the ALF library.
The driver resistance for steady state is used for noise calculation on a quiet victim driver cell. In addition, a noise margin on a victim receiver cell is provided.
Noise issues
A criterion for a tolerated noise peak at an output pin of a cell defines the noise margin at a related input pin. The noise peak at the output depends not only on the noise peak at the input but also on the pulse width and the effective output load capacitance. A narrow pulse is subjected to low-pass filtering. This effect is called noise rejection.
For combinatorial cells, noise activity at the output can be tolerated so long as it does not corrupt the data of a memory element, a flip-flop or a latch. Therefore, noise propagation through combinatorial cells can be described in the library.
Electromigration occurs inside cells as well as on interconnect structures. It is due to high current density, causing wires and contacts to break eventually. The structures inside the cell tend to break first, especially the contacts at the driver output.
Other damage occurs due to the hot electron effect. This manifests itself by accumulation of trapped carriers in the gate oxide, leading to threshold changes and performance degradation. Both effects can be evaluated by transistor-level analysis. However, for large circuits, a cell-level abstraction model is needed.
The abstraction consists of a vector defining the activation stimulus for a path. Associated with the vector is an upper limit for tolerable activation frequency of the vector. This frequency limit is an abstraction of the tolerable electromigration or hot electron damage, which depends on input slew rate, output load or both.
Since a vector can contain temporal and logical dependencies, it is possible to represent electromigration and hot electron constraints affecting internal structures of a complex cell by vector frequency limits describing events and states observable at the boundary of the cell.
A new design flow using ALF would apply a physical optimization tool conscious of all signal integrity effects: in particular, timing, noise and electromigration. Driven by its own concurrent timing and signal integrity analyses, the tool would implement design changes with minimal disturbance. As a result, the number of design iterations would be greatly reduced. For instance, crosstalk-aware static timing analysis supports multiple activity windows within a clock cycle. The analysis is driven by an ALF library, which contains models for timing, noise, electromigration and hot electron effects.
As with any design flow, external constraints must be provided. In addition to system-level timing constraints, a global activity file is provided for electromigration/hot electron analysis. This file contains estimated or simulated vector frequencies for each cell instance within the design; the frequencies are compared against the vector frequency limits in the library. For a given vector frequency, the slew- and load-dependent frequency limit translates into a slew-dependent load limit on a cell instance.
The success of the design flow relies on accurate libraries. A suite of benchmarks with normative Spice results has been applied to qualify the ALF library within the context of its usage by the tool. For example, the ALF timing library alone, by virtue of including more precise data, yields significantly better accuracy than a conventional timing library. The average error of ALF vs. Spice was 0.5 percent, compared to 4 percent, when a conventional timing library was used. The standard deviation was 2 percent compared to 5 percent. For noise and electromigration, there was no conventional library that could represent the data.
Based on its comprehensive modeling capabilities and the availability of supporting analysis and optimization tools today, ALF is well positioned as industry standard for high-end SoC design libraries.

At the Moment, Dallas Is Just Another in a Long Line of Folks Interested in Hall of Fame
Earlier this afternoon, I finally spoke with Steve Hatchell -- president and CEO of the National Football Foundation, the parent organization of the College Football Hall of Fame -- concerning yesterday's press conference during which Mayor Tom Leppert, Roger Staubach, T. Boone Pickens and a host of other bold-faced names announced the city's efforts to lure the Hall from South Bend, Indiana, to downtown Dallas, near the site of the would-be convention center hotel. Good timing too, as today the South Bend Tribune makes it sound as though Hatchell, the former Big 12 Conference commissioner, has all but guaranteed the Hall will stay there.
Well, yes and no, Hatchell tells Unfair Park. "What I said was, we're happy in South Bend, and if somebody was to make a proposal, we'd sure take a look at it." Hatchell says he's known about the city's interest in the Hall for quite a while, after having discussed the idea with steakhouse owner Bob Sambol, with whom Hatchell says he's been friends "since my days as Orange Bowl executive director" in the late 1980s.
But he says he hears about some city wanting the College Football Hall of Fame every year or two, and doesn't take it seriously till there's a proposal in writing. Because, sure, while he says he "absolutely takes seriously" the "sincere" entreaties of the "nice, well-considered people" stepping forward on Dallas's behalf, "When people ask, 'Would you move?' we say, 'We're happy in South Bend and have a great building,' etc." And, he reminds concerning both Dallas and Arlington's interest in the venue, "The Dallas Morning News five years ago said we were going to [move to Arlington] when Jerry said he was going to build the
stadium there. Expressing interest and putting things out there are two different things."
Upcoming Events
Hatchell says he did warn Mayor Steve Luecke late last week that the Dallas proposal was coming. "I call him whenever somebody says, 'We're going to make a proposal,'" Hatchell says. "He's a very nice man, and he's somebody you would treat that way because he's a nice man." Unfair Park's left several messages for the mayor, and spoken with his assistant, but without any return calls thus far.
Any cursory reading of South Bend newspaper and TV Web sites does seem to reveal one thing: Folks there -- at least, those inclined to leave comments -- don't want the College Hall of Fame, insisting it's nothing more than a poorly attended tax drain to the tune of $600,000 annually. (Sources indicate that the College Hall of Fame has two primary sources of revenue: hotel and motel tax, and contributions from the state of Indiana's professional sports development area fund.) Common are variations on comments like this one: "If Pickens, Staubach & Sanders want it...I'll help them PACK!"
As for how seriously the NFF takes the Dallas proposal, well, Hatchell says there's no timeline in place for the foundation to receive a proper proposal.
"All I can tell you is what was e-mailed to me," says Hatchell, who moved back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area two years ago to turn the Irving-based NFF. "They hope later this year we'll get a proposal. I don't know if it means in a month or end of the year. They sure seem to be well-organized and have some good things planned, but I don't have a proposal in front of me."
And until he does, well, you're all invited to South Bend in July when Troy Aikman's among those being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

No sooner has Facebook introduced Facebook Home than a quirky ad appears showing you how Facebook is part of your life at every moment. And when they say every moment, they include those times when you are about to take off on a flight while strange things are happening all around you, all foreshadowed by images on your handset, running the new Facebook Home.
Of course, the Facebook Home launcher is native to the HTC First handset which will be launched the same day as the launcher, which is April 12th. While the phone will be $99.99 with a signed two-year contract, the launcher is free from the Google Play Store and works on a specific list of Android phones.

For the second straight year, jobs are on the line in the proposed school budget.
Superintendent Ralph Napolitano laid out an $89.9 million spending plan for 2010-11 that would cut 43 staff positions, including 27 layoffs. With enrollment declining, a school closing and class sizes projected to hold constant, Napolitano says the cuts are necessary.
If approved, the budget would raise the tax rate by 1.5 percent and raise spending by $83,000 or 0.09 percent. The proposal anticipates a $1.4 million cut in state aid.
In addition to shuttering French Hill Elementary School in the hopes of leasing it to an outside tenant, Napolitano's budget also eyes savings by eliminating modified sports. That would save about $75,000 alone.
Click here for district information the budget
Between that and the modest tax rate, vocal taxpayer advocate Ed Ciffone finds little to protest. Ciffone is withholding judgment, though, until state aid numbers come in.
"The way the budget is right now, it's fairly good," Ciffone said. "It's lower than it's ever been, but what's going to happen when they get the state aid? They're going to spend it."
He'd rather see any aid applied to further cut the tax rate.
During the 2009 budget process, $1.3 million in stimulus funds prevented all but a handful of 45 planned layoffs. Officials aren't banking on that kind of cash infusion this time around.
"It's absolutely not going to come through like it did last year," school board President Jackie Carbone said.
Administrators had been tasked with looking for savings in every line in the budget and held nothing back, Carbone said. She criticized a dysfunctional state budget process that keeps local districts in the dark about state aid.
"It makes it very hard because we're the last group before the taxpayer asking for money," she said. "We're also the only budget that gets voted on."
French Hill's closing will save the district $1.2 million this year. As it did last year, the district also will apply $1.4 million in savings to the budget to offset the tax rate.
"It's an extremely modest tax rate, but the thing I'm most happy about is programs have really not been affected," Carbone said.
It's not clear exactly where the staff cuts will come from, through Napolitano has said no single area will bear the brunt. More than a third of the cuts are projected to be made via attrition, meaning staff who retire or take leave won't be replaced.
Enrollment is down by 400 students over the last six years, and officials project it to drop by another 600 students over the next decade. Seventy fewer students are expected in the fall compared to the current year.
The school board is slated to adopt a budget on April 12. A special meeting is set for April 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Mildred E. Strang Middle School, 2701 Crompond Road, to allow further public input.

In a landmark decision on the nature of copyright law in the digital age, a federal judge in Atlanta has ruled in favor of officials at Georgia State University on nearly all the copyright infringement claims lodged by a trio of textbook publishers.
For the vast majority of claims, the judge concluded that the "fair use" doctrine protected the GSU professor's decision to allow students to access excerpts of textbooks online through Georgia State's Electronic Reserves System.
Universities and colleges across the country will be studying the ruling in Cambridge University Press, et al. v. Mark Becker because it is the first in-depth analysis of how copyright laws will apply in the digital age in the context of higher education.
Ballard Spahr attorney Katrina M. Quicker, an intellectual property partner, was co-lead counsel for GSU in the 15-day trial, assisted by Ballard Spahr associate Richard W. Miller.
At issue in the case was whether GSU officials violated copyright law by allowing professors to provide students with free electronic access to selected portions of certain textbooks. GSU's copyright policy required the professor to conduct a fair use analysis by utilizing a "fair use checklist" that assisted the professor in determining whether the use would be a fair use, or whether permission—and the payment of royalties—would be required.
The publishers alleged that GSU's practices amounted to "massive" copyright infringements and sought a permanent injunction that would have effectively prevented the placement of excerpts of copyrighted works on electronic reserve without paying a fee in advance. While the publishers asserted hundreds of infringement claims when the case began in 2008, they abandoned all but 99 before trial and ultimately pursued just 74 claims in post-trial briefing.
The trial before U.S. District Judge Orinda D. Evans focused on whether GSU's copyright policy was effective in preventing copyright violations.
Judge Evans found that university officials "tried to comply with the Copyright Act," but that the policy had led to five instances of copyright violations. "The truth is that fair use principles are notoriously difficult to apply," Judge Evans wrote.
In her 350-page opinion, Judge Evans rejected 69 of the 74 claims that were put on trial. For 20 of the 23 professors whose use of the Electronic Reserves was at issue, the judge concluded that the professors made a "fair use" of the publishers' works because GSU offered free access to just a small percentage of the book to further a purely educational mission and without any profit motive.
Applying a four-factor test, Judge Evans concluded that five instances of copyright infringement occurred. In each of the violations, Judge Evans found the publisher lost money because a professor had provided free electronic access to selected chapters in textbooks even though the publisher had created a way of selling licenses for those books on a per-chapter basis.

Person of the PC Decade: Philip D. (Don) Estridge
Even though five years have passed since its death, the forces that Don Estridge put into play a decade ago continue to shape the industry. As the president of IBM's Entry Systems Division and one of the chief architects of the IBM PC, Estridge made it safe for Corporate America to buy personal computers. He forged the critical alliances with the off-the-shelf hardware and software vendors and created an open standardby challenging and overcoming some of the most hallowed traditions in the IBM culture. Some may say that the standard got away from IBM, but once the door was open, there was no turning back. The rise of the microprocessor, the shift to end-user computing, and the downsizing of applications were inevitable. But Estridge's vision, integrity, and purpose made these things happen in a way that benefited all of us.
In recognition of Estridge's contribution, PC Magazine has made a special donation to The University of Florida Foundation for the Philip D. and Mary Ann Estridge Scholarship Endowment.
Lifetime Achievement: Daniel Bricklin and Robert Frankston
The electronic spreadsheet is so commonplace in American business that we can hardly remember that it wasn't always around. The spreadsheet as we know it dates back to 1979, with the introduction of VisiCalc. Dan Bricklin, who was a student at the Harvard Business School, had the idea for an electronic ledger. He and programmer Bob Frankston refined the idea into VisiCalc for the Apple II.
Although this initial spreadsheet worked in less than 32K memory, it had almost all of the basic concepts we now take for granted in spreadsheets, including the row and column orientation, hidden formulas behind cells, formatting commands, and help.
Spreadsheets were immediately recognized as the first compelling application for the burgeoning personal computer industry. VisiCalc took the PC out of the hobbyist market and introduced it to thousands of businesspeople. Today, spreadsheets, along with word processors, form the core applications for most personal computer users.
Bricklin and Frankston have since created and contributed to several other well-known computer programs, and both are now working for Slate Corp., a developer of pen-based applications in Scottsdale, Arizona. Their creation of the electronic spreadsheet changed not only the way we use computers but the way we run our companies.
Person of the Year: Philippe Kahn, CEO, Borland International Inc.
What is there to say about Philippe Kahn that you don't already know? A one-time math teacher, Kahn came to Silicon Valley in 1982 with almost no money, a tremendous gift of gab, and a nose for great products. His Borland International took TurboPascal and made it the industry standard. In less than a decade, Borland has gained ground on far larger competitors and introduced many innovative programs, including Sidekick, ObjectVision, and TurboPascal for Windows. Borland's Turbo C++ has become an industry standard, and Quattro Pro has become the biggest challenger to Lotus's venerable spreadsheet, 1-2-3. In 1991, having turned Paradox into a major challenger to Ashton-Tate's faltering industry leader, dBASEIV, Kahn redefined the database landscape by acquiring Ashton-Tate. Merging two companies with incompatible databases, competitive products, and radically different cultures may be Kahn's biggest challenge, but we are sure he will attack it with his customary vigor, wit, and style.

CMT Sweet Home Alabama
March 24, 2012 by staff
CMT Sweet Home Alabama, This evening the third season of CMT's popular series SWEET HOME ALABAMA came to an end as southern sweetheart Paige Duke chose Jeremiah James Korfe, a farmer from Clarissa, Minn., as her soul mate.
In tonight's finale, Paige was torn between Jeremiah, who struggled with sharing his feelings throughout the season, and Bubba Thompson, the cowboy from Alabama who wore his heart on his sleeve. In the end, she could not deny her strong affections toward Jeremiah and chose him to start their life together.
Fans of SWEET HOME ALABAMA are anxiously awaiting CMT's new series SOUTHERN NIGHTS, which brings together ten well-known cast members from previous seasons to live and party together. The cast heads to the beautiful southern city of Savannah where some relationships will begin and others will be tested as past conflicts resurface and different lifestyles collide.
Throughout the eight-episode series, they will explore the best of the South — from rodeos and ranches to upscale nightclubs and tailgate parties. SOUTHERN NIGHTS premieres Saturday, April 7 at 10:00 p.m., ET/PT on CMT with two back-to-back new episodes.

A MOTHER-of-five held back tears of joy as city councillors rejected an application for three new houses behind her home.
The proposal, on land rear of Plough Steep in Main Road, Itchen Abbas, caused controversy at Thursday's (May 8) planning committee, but for Jo O'Connor it was a welcome sigh of relief.
She, along with other residents, feared that the development would be overbearing, out of keeping and unaffordable, with 50 rejection letters filed.
With tears in her eyes she said: "I'm very relieved and grateful that all the councillors listened to what we had to say and our point of view. I'm really happy."
The site, which lies in the South Downs National Park area, is home to a Bronze Age burial mound which councillors feared would be ruined by the build.
They were also worried that Mrs O'Connor's family home, a 300-year-old cottage, would be over-shadowed and isolated with three roads surrounding it.
Cllr Kim Gottlieb, Itchen Valley representative, urged the committee to reject the application.
He said: "To the parishes this application sends out all the wrong messages. If this is approved it sends out the message that we don't care about sympathetically expanding our villages and are just cramming houses in wherever we can."
Robin Buchanan, agent for the developer, Itchen Valley Homes, described how they intended to preserve the burial mound with a membrane covered by sand and soil.
They also said they were careful not to propose building within the area of archaeological concern, planning for it fall in the back garden of one of the properties, along with an area of ecological preservation home to grass snakes.
Councillors raised concerns about natural habitats, drainage, and steepness of the driveway.
Eight voted to reject the application, with just one voting to approve.
After the vote, committee chairman, Cllr Laurence Ruffell asked fellow councillors for the planning reasons for refusal. The committee spent some 40 minutes debating the issue.
