Now through the new year is the most challenging time to ensure that ample blood supplies are on hospital shelves to meet inevitably increased demand.
Communities rely on blood donation campaigns to make sure supplies are there when needed. One of those upcoming community drives is set for Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Mountain View Chevrolet on Foothill Boulevard in Upland. The drive is in honor of Justin Cacucciolo of Rancho Cucamonga, who faces the daily challenges of living with primary immunodeficiency disease and all of its challenges.
Justin, 11, was diagnosed with common variable immune deficiency, which means he has low levels of the necessary serum immunoglobulins and antibodies to combat infection. Despite the condition, though, people can and do lead normal and active lives with treatment. Justin undergoes daily painful infusions, yet he remains busy and recently joined a travel baseball team.
People with primary immune deficiencies are born with an immune system that either is absent or severely compromised, which leads to a greater risk of infections. Many people live for years or decades without an accurate diagnosis.
"We're looking forward to this drive being the start of a lengthy partnership with the dealership to help bring attention to CVID and the ongoing need for blood donations in our community," said Jill Eaton, Lifestream spokeswoman. "LifeStream and Justin's parents, Nick and Kristy, are working hard in preparation of the upcoming drive through promotion and securing attractive donor incentives to being additional awareness to the cause."
Justin's parents, Nick and Kristy, have sponsored six blood drives at the car dealership. This is the second time in December.
"Because of the amount of plasma Justin needs, Kristy and I wanted to make sure we tried to help out by replenishing the supplies. We thought the holidays would be a great time. We also want to bring awareness about the need for blood during the season," said Nick Cacucciolo, whose family recently helped oversee a benefit walk in Long Beach to raise money and awareness of immuneodeficiencies. It raised about $50,000.
The blood drive at the dealership is designed to be a family event. It is scheduled for the entire day in order to accommodate everyone's schedules. The place is decorated for the holidays, and Santa is expected to stop by from 4 to 7 p.m. to talk with children and have his photo taken. Fun activities are planned, food will be provided, and there will be two opportunities to take home brand-new iPads.
"Last year, we had between 400 to 500 people show up and had about 200 who actually donated. We hope this year is just as successful," he said.
In addition to blood donations, Lifestream personnel will be available to offer Be a Match bone marrow testing.
"The need for blood, especially during the holidays, is so great. It gives you a warm feeling in your heart when you see people come out to give. We are just happy to be a part of this," said Kristy Cacucciolo.
Dr. Diane Eklund, medical director for Lifestream, said blood drives such as this one are vital in order to protect blood supplies.
"In general, people will come out of nowhere to donate blood when there is a disaster. When 9/11 happened, people were lined up around blood donation site buildings and although their efforts were wonderful, the real heroes that day were those who donated blood three days earlier. That allowed for the blood to be processed, tested and ready to be distributed," Eklund said.
"But we never know when disaster will strike. We always need to be prepared. People need blood all the time. We know the holidays can be hectic, but what better gift to give someone than the gift of life? Blood is free. We all have plenty of it, but it becomes precious when you need it."
Whole blood donations are divided into components and used to help those who need them.
"We use every part of the blood donation we can and that means we can help many, many people," she said.

text: Albion boss Gus Poyet has left the door open to enter the race for Chris Wood. The Seagulls' former loan striker scored an eye-catching double in Millwall's 2-2 draw against the Seagulls at The Amex last night. Millwall have made a £1 million bid to sign the big Kiwi permanently in January but face competition from Leicester, Huddersfield and, possibly, Albion following his two-goal show. Poyet told The Argus: "We are trying to get someone. That player until today was not Chris Wood. That doesn't mean he's not coming. "Until today we weren't even talking to anyone about Chris. We know how well he was doing, because we have been watching strikers everywhere in the world and he, of course, was one of them, so we'll see. "We are doing other things and we need to check plenty of things before we even move for someone." Asked if Wood is the type of player Albion are after, Poyet added: "In the kind of form and attitude he is showing now, yes. He is no longer a kid. He knows how to deal with balls in the air, how to use his big physique and his energy is non-stop. "I saw him chasing, which is great news. It wasn't his game when he came two years ago and he is still only 21, so he is going to be a top, top player." Poyet admits he may have to sell before he can buy in January after watching his team rescue a point from 2-0 down with sub Kazenga LuaLua's strike and a late David Lopez penalty. Poyet revealed: "There is a budget and we're nearly there. I don't have plenty to spend and we've got enough players. I like a nice number of 24, maybe 25 max, and at the moment we've got those players so unfortunately there will have to be a bit of business both ways."

Unity seem to not work in VirtualBox aswell
New Ubuntu Unity don't want work in VirtualBox..i tried enabling 3D in settings and installed Guest additions still nothing..card FX 5200 128MB Other people from other forums mention same so this is due to bad 3d support in virtualisation?
BTW: Yes i know there is similar thread but it isn't about VirtualBox and if something was in past then unity was still beeing unoficially released so could be bugs..
Small update. Seems like theres 3D version and 2D version of Unity and if install Unity 2D from Synaptic example then it works.
I have Unity 3D working just fine in VB 4.06, albeit, it runs a tad on the slow side. I haven't tried 2D yet, but just might. On the other hand the only reason I installed Natty in the first place, was to see what all the fuss was about. Think I will stay with Lucid for as long as I can.

Medical applications such as medical image analysis are becoming increasingly important in everyday life. But the success of these methodologies is still in doubt due to the human intervention in their systems. This indirectly highlights the necessity for automation techniques for these applications, which can improve the performance to higher extent. The major problem however is that the level of usage of automation techniques is very low in these applications.
This special issue will focus on exploring the applicability of various automation techniques for medical applications. The issue will also give emphasis to innovative methodologies for applications in medical informatics. This issue will thus serve as a platform for researchers to share their ideas and present solutions for human problems in the area of medical informatics.
Suitable topics include but are not limited to:
- Medical image processing
- Biomedical signal analysis
- Information security
- Telemedicine
- Data mining
- Medical image compression
- De-noising in medical images

- Animation and 3-D analysis
- Medical image understanding
- Bio-sensors
- Data transmission
- Modelling and statistical analysis
- Medical image classification and segmentation
- Hardware, medical equipment
- Any other topics related to medical informatics

Regulation of high-frequency trading is needed to protect the markets, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said Tuesday on CNBC.
CNBC's Bob Pisani and Scott Cutler, NYSE Euronext EVP & head of global listings, discuss the coming IPO outburst and why so many companies are launching now.
Retail has missed this run, says Duncan Niederauer, CEO of NYSE Euronext, sharing his thoughts on why the retail investor left the market and why they are still "under invested." Also a look ahead at this year's IPO market.
IntercontinentalExchange is looking to sell at least a quarter of Euronext ahead of an IPO that is expected this year.
A group of 13 US Exchanges will update the software they use, in part as a response to an SEC order after the Nasdaq outage in August.
Some of the names on the move ahead of the open.
With the Intercontinental Exchange and NYSE Euronext deal set to close, Jeff Sprecher, Intercontinental Exchange CEO, discusses the deal and says the greatness of the company is the way it raises capital.
Today was "went just as I wanted for Twitter," said Duncan Niederauer, NYSE Euronext CEO.
NYSE Euronext CEO Duncan Niederauer also told CNBC on Thursday that the exchange has done everything it can do to make sure the Twitter IPO goes smoothly.
Duncan Niederauer, CEO, NYSE Euronext, says the Twitter IPO is likely to happen around 10 or 10:15, and that the NYSE has done all it can to get ready for this IPO.
NYSE Euronext CEO and director Duncan Niederauer, calls Twitter's IPO the latest series of wins in the technology sector. Lack of information and transparency contributed to issues with Facebook's IPO, and that won't happen with Twitter, he adds.
A flood of IPOs will make this the biggest week for offerings since 2006, and could swamp Twitter's buzz.
Shares of 58.com, an online classifieds company dubbed the Craigslist of China, rose more than 45 percent in their trading debut in the U.S.
Some of the names on the move ahead of the open.
Check out which companies are making headlines after the bell Monday:
The New York Stock Exchange on Saturday did a test run of Twitter's highly anticipated market debut, as it seeks to avoid the types of problems that plagued Facebook's initial public offering.
Decent earnings have been overshadowed by poor showing in Asia, and a weak U.S. durable goods figure.
September's tepid jobs growth signals a squishy enough employment picture to push any wind down of Fed easing into next year.
The NYSE and Nasdaq has assured Alibaba that the partnership structure for its expected share offering will be permitted. The Financial Times reports.
The NYSE Euronext is expected to test its trading system in preparation for Twitter's IPO, reports CNBC's Bob Pisani. The test will take place Saturday, October 26th.

So if 802.11e talks prioritization, > thats precisely what it means - QoS. Yes, it's one component of a QoS solution. But, my point is that on it's own, it's not enough. This means that we should not see 802.11e as a complete QoS solution, and the center of the QoS universe, but only as a mechanism that need to be integrated in the QoS solution. Which means, instead of trying to fit TC in 802.11e, we need to fit 802.11e in TC. That's a totally different perspective. > The guy has some valid points in terms of multiple DMA rings if i > understood him correctly. Theres current architectural deficiencies. I don't buy that. The multiple DMA ring is not the main thing here, all DMA transfer share the same I/O bus to the card and share the same memory pool, so there is no real performance gain there. The I/O bnandwidth to the card is vastly superior to the medium bandwidth, so the DMA process will never be a bottleneck. The real benefit is that the contention on the medium is prioritised (between contenting nodes). The contention process (CSMA, backoff, and all the jazz) will give a preference to stations with packet of the highest priority compared to stations wanting to send packet of lower priorities. To gain advantage of that, you only need to assign your packet the right priority at the driver level, and the CSMA will send it appropriately. With respect to the 4 different hardware queue, you should see them only as an extension of the netdev queues. Basically, you just have a pipeline between the scheduler and the MAC which is almost a FIFO, but not exactly a FIFO. Those queues may do packet reordering between themselves, based on priorities. But at the end of the day they are only going to send what the scheduler is feeding them, and every packet the scheduler pass to those queues is eventually sent, so they are totally slave to the scheduler. So, I would not worry about the DMA rings. I may worry a little bit about packet reordering between queues, but I don't think it's a problem. And about the new contention behaviour, this is only between different stations, not within a node, so it won't impact you. > cheers, > jamal Have fun... Jean

The June 3 ballot will include a bond measure asking voters for $265 million in capital improvement funds for the Sequoia Union High School District.
The five-member district board gave the measure a unanimous vote after a few minutes of discussion and encouraging words for the co-chairs of the volunteer campaign that now has to drum up support for the measure among 125,911 registered voters in the district.
An analysis commissioned by the Sequoia district shows a likely turnout 36.5 percent (45,958 voters) for a June election. State Proposition 39 allows school construction bond measures to pass if approved by 55 percent majority, which would mean 25,276 voters, using the figures provided in the analysis.
Board president Allen Weiner recommended that the campaign include data analytics in its strategies. The campaign needs to be smart about selecting audiences and matching them with projects, he said. "We want to be as lovely and attractive to all audiences as possible" and, toward that end, "to analyze and slice (data) in order to figure out how to target messaging," Mr. Weiner said.
If the measure passes, the district would have the funds to add classrooms and related facilities to address an expected increase in enrollment in district schools, including Woodside and Menlo-Atherton, of at least 20 percent over the next seven years. With burgeoning enrollment now in in the Menlo Park and Las Lomitas elementary school districts, M-A would bear the brunt of the increase in the southern part of San Mateo County.
This bond measure would add a tax of about $16 per $100,000 of a property's assessed value, bringing the overall rate to about $46 for Sequoia district property owners. The four bond measures passed by Sequoia district voters between 1996 and 2008 add up to about $30 per $100,000 in value, district officials told the Almanac.
The bonds would be paid off in 30 years, and the total would about double -- to $530 million -- with interest payments included, a district official said.

From the press release:
(HENDERSONVILLE, NC, April 5, 2012) – ECO, the Environmental and Conservation Organization's Green Energy and Sustainability Committee will host a Wild Plant Walk on Saturday, April 21 at 10am to aid local residents in identifying local plants suitable for food or medicine. The walk led by local naturalist, Michele Skeele, will help locals eat what grows where they live and to be able to tap the resources close to home.
According to Skeele, "We live in a hugely rich area in the country in terms of plant diversity. There are so many plants we see everyday that we don't realize have great value. From a health standpoint, the things that grow where we live have the biggest value for us. We live, work and play here and the plants that live in community with us can keep us healthy and vibrant."
Participants in the Wild Plant Walk will learn to identify basic medicinal and edible plants in the area, learn what plants look like, where they grow, what they offer, and how to distinguish look-alikes that may be harmful.
This Sustainable Living workshop requires advanced registration and costs $15 to support ECO's work. To register online go to www.eco-wnc.org or call the ECO office at 692-0385. You will be provided with the rendezvous information once paid. ECO's Wild Plant Walk will be held on Saturday, April 21 at 10 am.

Doctors recommend that you avoid sleeping on your back after your first trimester because it causes you to unintentionally focus your weight on a major vein that moves blood to the heart from your feet and legs, which in turn forces the heart to work harder. But doctors also tend to be quick to tell you not to worry about it if you wake up and find that you've rolled onto your back. Changing positions while you snooze is normal, and losing sleep over whether you're in the right position doesn't do anyone any good.
That said, it's recommended that you train yourself to sleep on your side—ideally your left one because the position improves blood flow throughout your body, including to your uterus and fetus. Using body and regular pillows as sleep props is a great way to help you get and stay as comfortable as possible during the coming months.

East Bay voters narrowed down their choices for three open Assembly seats Tuesday, with early returns indicating two will be Democrat-on-Democrat smackdowns this November while a third would be a more traditional Democrat-Republican matchup.
In the 8th Assembly District, the top two finishers in early ballots were Alameda Vice Mayor Rob Bonta and Peralta Community College trustee Abel Guillen, of Oakland, trailed by AC Transit Director Joel Young, of Oakland. Republican Rhonda Weber, of Alameda, never mounted much of a campaign. The district includes most of Oakland as well as Alameda and San Leandro.
In the 20th Assembly District, early returns showed Hayward Councilman Bill Quirk, a Democrat, was in the lead, trailed by Hayward optometrist Jennifer Ong, also a Democrat. Running third was Union City Mayor Mark Green, who dropped his Democratic registration in 2010 and ran as an independent. Fourth was Hayward Unified School District board member Luis Reynoso, a Republican. Lagging much farther behind was New Haven Unified School District board member Sarabjit Cheema, a Democrat. The district includes Hayward, Union City and the northern part of Fremont as well as the Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, Sunol, Ashland, Fairview and Cherryland unincorporated areas.
In the 11th Assembly District, early returns showed Suisun City Vice Mayor Mike Hudson, a Republican, and Oakley Councilman Jim Frazier, a Democrat, would finish with enough votes to advance to November.
Apparently headed for elimination were medical union negotiator Patricia Hernandez, of Rio Vista, a Democrat; former Vacaville Councilman Len Augustine, an independent candidate; retired Benicia fire Chief Gene Gantt, a Democrat; and programmer and artist Charles Kingeter, of Suisun City, a Democrat.
The district — split among Solano, Sacramento and Contra Costa counties — includes Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Rio Vista, Isleton, Walnut Grove, Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, Byron and Bethel Island.
In the 16th Assembly District, incumbent Joan Buchanan, D-Alamo, and Republican Al Phillips, a union construction superintendent from Livermore, were the only two candidates on Tuesday and so automatically advance to November.
But Buchanan's substantial lead over Phillips in early returns could portend a difficult campaign for him ahead.
The district is in the Interstate 580-Interstate 680 corridor running through Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Blackhawk, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda.
Similarly, state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, finished comfortably ahead of the only other candidate on the 7th State Senate District's ballot, Republican attorney Mark Meuser, of Walnut Creek. That district includes Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, a portion of Richmond, Oakley, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon and Walnut Creek.
Assemblywomen Susan Bonilla, D-Concord, and Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, both are running unopposed, as is state Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley.

In a closely-contested match, the UCLA women's tennis team outdueled Saint Mary's 5-2 in both teams' first dual match of the 2011 season.
The No. 5 Bruins (1-0) had their way with the Gaels (0-1) thanks to strong outings from Courts No. 1, 3, 4 and 6. Senior Andrea Remynse was particularly impressive, shutting out junior Anna Chkhikvishvili 6-0, 6-0 on Court No. 4 before four of her five teammates were able to complete a set.
"(Court No.) 4 is a new spot for me," Remynse said. "I'm used to playing higher, and my experience definitely paid off at (No. 4). (Chkhikvishvili) matched up well with me."
The match started out in an inauspicious manner when UCLA's No. 1 doubles team of Remynse and freshman Courtney Dolehide was upset 8-1 by Saint Mary's duo of sophomore Catherine Isip and senior Alex Poorta. However, the Bruin tandems on Courts No. 2 and 3 picked up the slack, winning 8-2 and 8-4, respectively.
"We were prepared for a tough match," coach Stella Sampras Webster said. "I was a little disappointed coming out in doubles a little flat, but we took care of getting that point."
Newcomer McCall Jones made an impressive debut for UCLA. Jones, a junior transfer from BYU, defeated Poorta 6-4, 6-1 at the No. 1 position.
"I felt like I did really well for my first match," Jones said. "Even though I've been playing two years in college, I was still pretty nervous because it was my first match playing for UCLA. But more than nervous, I was really excited, and I think that helped me a lot. I felt really confident on the court today."
The matchup presented Sampras Webster with a chance to tinker with her lineup. Remynse, the most experienced member on the team who has played in the top spot in the past, played at No. 4, while sophomore Pamela Montez jumped to the No. 3 position. Montez handed senior Claire Soper a 6-4, 6-0 defeat.
"The lineup will change according to how players are playing and how they match up with other players," Sampras Webster said. "There'll be some shifts. It's so early in the season, so no one really knows where anyone's at. We're going to find a way to figure out where each of them will be most successful and what's going to be best for the team."
The Gaels' only two points of the day came by way of Isip's 7-6, 6-4 defeat of Dolehide at the No. 2 spot and freshman Jenny Jullien's 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over senior Maya Johansson on Court No. 5.
UCLA junior Carling Seguso took care of business with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over freshman Laurie Gingras on Court No. 6. Senior Noelle Hickey sat out with a minor back injury.
Next up for the Bruins is the Jan. 26 matchup with Loyola Marymount, a team which gave UCLA no trouble whatsoever in the Bruins' 7-0 throttling last season.

To the News Enterprise:
Wes Dingman pulled on Twelve League Boots to opine on capitalism in his recent article. As often happens when stepping high and fast over a complex subject, much of essential importance is over-emphasized or overlooked depending on the writer's preconceptions.
Contrary to Wes's assertion, empathy lies at the very heart of the capitalist system. Before revenues are generated or any profit is made market research, formal or informal, must be undertaken to determine what service or product a customer wants; what he is prepared to pay for it; how, when and where he wants it delivered, and a host of other questions. In business terms, this corresponds to the "empathy" Wes speaks of. Communist economics allow for no such empathy, which is why the Soviet Union ended up with warehouses full of yellow shoes no one wanted. Private sector companies that don't have empathy and don't respond to its signals are destined to fail. So much for the general absence of empathy Wes fails to discover in capitalism.
When critiquing an institution, it is helpful to distinguish whether a perceived shortcoming is due to a flaw inherent in the institution itself, or whether it is simply a manifestation of an element of human nature. A good example of an institutional flaw is to be found in bureaucracy and the bureaucratic culture and mindset. This is awkward for a critic of capitalism to deal with because the largest and worst bureaucracies are to be found not in private enterprise, but in government which has at it's disposal a uniquely toxic combination of unlimited financial resources, police power, regulatory apparatus, executive orders, legislative mandates, etc. These are in constant use and readily available to enlarge and defend the interests of government bureaucracies and their allies.
To be sure, given the flaws in human nature, both humans and their economic enterprises need common sense laws and regulatory of oversight. But these need to be wise and as light as possible for freedom to flourish and individual initiative to maximize its scope.
There is one observation that is truly breathtaking in Wes's ruminations on the nature of capitalism. That was his casual observation that the time may have come for the world to dump capitalism for a new system. Oddly, he doesn't say what he has in mind.

This application runs as service until you explicitly quit , watches out for changes in system and posts notifications to status bar, can be setup to clear logs regularly.
You should consider turning on log monitor and keep this application running for a number of reasons, regardless of Carrier IQ currently installed on your device or not:
+If a carrier could pull data off your device without your knowledge; the carrier might also be able to push Carrier IQ to your device at any time without notice as it pleases.
+A third party application could snoop on you if your Carrier IQ logging is turned on, with proper permissions or in collaboration with others.
Monitoring would deter any application from turning on CIQ logging and snooping; it cannot be stopped but at least you will get notified.
Unfortunately, some applications especially Carrier IQ detectors may leave traces on a device similar to those of true Carrier IQ and cause false alarms.
If you are willing to help, please report the false positive as bug to the developers.
A toggle button is provided so you can play with the CIQ logging setting on your phone and watch Carrier IQ agent recording your activities live.
It is not known if the logging setting also serves as triggers to send off the data over the network. As a caution,
you should never enter any thing confidential or visit personal web sites if the logging is turned on.
Even Carrier IQ and your carrier are not collecting the data, a malicious application on your phone
could potentially exploit the sensitive information. Furthermore, when you update or install applications
in future, pay special attention to permission request to any of the following but not limited to:
read log, write setting, access Internet, and make sure the requests are justified.
Please note that the logging becomes excessive if you use a browser, it seems it does not matter which browser you use
as the tracking is done in low level system code. Clear log in the option menu will remove all entries in the log.
This app has only be tested on Galaxy SII from Sprint (unfortunately it's the phone I own just recently)
and may not work on other devices or for other carriers, in such cases you will not see the logging toggle button.
It will be positive if CIQ is found on your device; otherwise you will have to wait for more sophisticated software or your carrier to tell you.
I have no plan to turn this detector into a removal tool as it would imply voiding your contract. You should look for
other apps or wait for updates from your carrier.
Part of Carrier IQ detection is based on code by François SIMOND @supercurio
* https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.simplecarrieriqdetector
* https://github.com/project-voodoo/simple_carrieriq_detector_app
I added detections in System settings.
此版本中的新功能:1.4.0 Optional settings: auto clear log, force ciq logging off.

One of the most popular music services, Pandora, has revealed that a federal grand jury is examining information sharing by mobile apps.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Pandora was served with a subpoena to produce documents relating to "information sharing processes of certain applications that run on the Apple and Android mobile platforms." A Pandora spokesperson says it does not "believe the company is a target of the investigation," and added "we believe that similar subpoenas were issued on an industry-wide basis to the publishers of numerous other smartphone applications." That would make sense -- if a grand jury were seeking information on what's shared in iOS, it would look at information from multiple developers, including Pandora.
This latest action follows reports of a December class action suit against Apple and a number of App Store developers over the sharing of personal information with advertisers. Since grand jury proceedings are secret, it can't be determined if the two actions are related.

GREENSBORO, Ga. — A rural Georgia county is set to become the first school district in the nation to go entirely single-sex, with boys and girls in separate classrooms.
Greene County's radical decision to overhaul the system next fall was born of desperation from years of poor test scores, soaring dropout rates and high numbers of teen pregnancies.
"At the rate we're moving, we're never going to catch up," superintendent Shawn McCollough told parents in an impassioned speech last week.
The school board's decision has angered parents, students and teachers, who say they weren't consulted. Leonard Sax, one of the nation's foremost proponents of single-sex education, said the board has gone too far and called the move illegal.
The pine-shrouded county of about 14,400 people between Atlanta and Augusta is about 70 percent black, and more than three-quarters of the 2,000 students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches.
Last year, the students scored an average of 1,168 on the SAT, far below the state average of 1,458 and the national average of 1,495.
McCollough pointed to research showing that boys and girls learn differently, and said separating them will allow teachers to tailor their lessons.
Boys and girls will be in separate classrooms in the elementary schools. Boys and girls in grades seven through 12 will attend separate schools.
Sax, head of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, said that while single-sex schools and classrooms are on the increase, he knows of no other community that has converted its entire school system. Federal law allows single-sex classrooms or schools, but parents must also have the option of publicly funded coeducation for their children, Sax said.
"This is the worst kind of publicity for our movement," he said. "It misses the whole point. Our movement is about choice. One size does not fit all. Even a small school district needs to provide choice."

Price Convergence: What Can the Balassa-Samuelson Model Tell Us? (in English)
The article contributes to the theory of convergence in the price level and relative prices. The authors present a model integrating the Balassa-Samuelson model of real equilibrium exchange rate with a model of capital accumulation and with the demand side of the economy. They also show how the Balassa-Samuelson model can be extended to the case of more than two goods. The predictions of the Balassa-Samuelson model are generally consistent with empirical findings in Central and Eastern European countries. The authors show how the model can be used toward projecting price convergence in a transition economy.

Married couple looking for third or couple to join our family
My husband and I have been in a polyamorous relationship for 3 or 4 years now. I am Bi, he is straight . We love video games and animals. We rent a farm right now and have chickens and ducks which are an absolute hoot to watch. We plan on buying our own farm soon, and selling eggs and Christmas trees (yes, an odd combination, I know) . We mostly keep to ourselves here, but I would love to have someone to go dancing with! I am honest to a fault, and really have no filter. I prefer to be upfront about most things and cross that tmi line from time to time XD. He is very intellegent, very sweet and gentle and treats me like a queen. We are both a bit overweight, but are actively trying to change that . We are up for meeting anyone, really. It would be nice to meet some local people who understand our situation.

That information is already available to pgAdmin, and has been since 7.4; if they are failing to exploit it that's their problem not libpq's. Basically what's at stake here is the behavior of "dumb" applications that are just using PQerrorMessage and not doing anything smart with error message fields. It does not seem unreasonable to me to assume fixed-width font in that context. We haven't seen any complaints about psql doing it have we? regards, tom lane

YouTube has become a major hub for discovering musical acts, from Justin Bieber to Carley Rae Jepsen and, most recently, Psy. The latest episode of The Stylish's 'In Focus: YouTube Sensation' series takes a look at one musician, violinist Lindsey Stirling, that catapulted to fame on YouTube after being rejected by America's Got Talent and every major record label.
Lindsey Stirling is known for her unique style of violin playing, which includes a lot of dancing, fun costumes and scenic backdrops. Her most popular video, Dubstep Violin, has racked up over 31 million views and her channel as a whole has got nearly 150 million views to its name—that's more than many mainstream artists, including Taylor Swift. Copies of her music are flying off the virtual shelves, she's currently on her first tour, which is sold out everywhere, and she's become a household name among the YouTube community.
However, things weren't always this good for Lindsey. In 2010 she was told by Piers Morgan on America's Got Talent "you're not good enough," in what she calls "the most embarrassing moment of [her] life." Following the show, she sent audition tapes out to every possible place she could think of and "was told no, over and over and over again." That's when she turned to YouTube and it's been all uphill from there.
"YouTube means the world to me. They're the ones that made my dreams possible," she says. "Social media…it works!"
Check out Lindsey Stirling's amazing story in the video below and let us know what you think. How do you feel about the fact that YouTube has opened doors for artists that have been closed out by the rest of the music biz? Who are some of your favorite musicians on YouTube?

Luke Hodge reckons football fans and players have grounds to be upset that Essendon's Mark Baguley was not paid a free kick for a great tackle late in the game against Port Adelaide. The Hawthorn captain believes too many incorrect disposal decisions are let go by umpires.
Defender Baguley made a desperate diving tackle on Port's Angus Monfries as his former teammate was running into an open goal.
Once Monfries was dispossessed, presiding umpire Shane McInerney, who is on track to officiate his 400th match this season, called play on. That allowed the Power's Kane Mitchell to pick up the loose ball, stroll in and kick a goal that reduced the Power's deficit to two points with two minutes remaining.
Former West Coast coach John Worsfold reckoned the decision was a clear but isolated error. Hawthorn captain Hodge, however, argued incidents involving "a perfect tackle like that" not being penalised for incorrect disposal - even through the ball spilled free rather than being kicked or handballed -were not anomalies.
"If it happened as a once-off then, fair enough, you'll let it go, but it's happened consistently," Hodge told AFL Game Day.
"Because there's so much grey area all you've got to do is have an attempt now . . . [and] it's play on." It was frustrating "for supporters and players", Hodge said.
The AFL umpiring department is expected to address the merits of the decision as part of its weekly review, held on Mondays.

When traveling abroad with canyoneering in mind, it can be difficult to secure good information on local canyons, and even more difficult to get that information in English. Fortunately, one of Europe's very best canyon areas, Ticino in southern Switzerland, has a guidebook available in English: Eldorado Ticino, by Anna and Luca Nizzola. Here's what Petzl has to say about Ticino:
Ticino is the southernmost canton of Switzerland. Located on the southern slopes of the Alps, it enjoys a sunny, mild climate during the summer months and offers many water-based activities, including canyoning. The last ice age ended some 12,000 years ago and in its wake it left a multitude of fine, deep, smooth and fascinating granite gorges that today make Ticino one of the most renowned canyoning destinations in Europe.
Though my jaw dropped when I saw the price tag ($75 from Canyoneering USA, or 48 swiss francs direct from Swiss Canyon), the book is stacked with reliable information from local canyoneers and filled with gorgeous photographs to boot. Here are the stats:
• More than 100 routes:
- 60 canyons with complete written descriptions; route, profile, and topo maps; water safety photographs to indicate when water levels are safe and copious in-canyon images
- 42 canyons with limited information for "adventure lovers"… these are canyons without bolts or remote canyons far from major roads
• Ten "canyon menus" to help you choose canyons that fit your groups wishes, abilities, and logistics
• Town notes to help you find good restaurants and sleeping accommodations
At 416 pages, this book is the definitive guide to the Ticino area, more than enough to keep you occupied for 10 or 20 Swiss trips.
Canyoneering USA recently received a shipment of Eldorado Ticino, so you can buy the guidebook in the U.S. while supplies last. Given the book seems to be a privately-funded, in-house publication, you may want to pick one up while supplies last… their website says "LAST BOOKS" in big red letters.

Now Michael Douglas Says He Had Tongue Cancer, Not Throat Cancer
MICHAEL DOUGLAS LIED about having throat cancer. He actually had TONGUE cancer. So why did he lie? Because he was about to do press for the "Wall Street" sequel, and tongue cancer is a lot more serious.
He says, quote, "The surgeon said, 'Let's just say it's throat cancer.'" The doctor also told Michael that if they had to do surgery for tongue cancer, he could potentially lose part of his jaw and tongue.

There Are 11 Factors That Influence What Women Wear . . . Here's How They Rank
A new survey has ranked the factors women consider when they're getting dressed in the morning. Some of the things they're factoring in are the weather, the day's agenda, their mood, how much energy they have to put into the outfit, their confidence level, and what day of the week it is.
1. The weather.
2. The temperature. (Yes, those two are similar. But weather means things like "rain", versus temperature, which means "hot or cold.")
3. The day's agenda.
4. Their mood.
5. Whether there's an occasion.
6. How much energy she has to put into her outfit.
7. Her personality.
8. Her confidence level.
9. What day of the week it is.
10. How much time she has.
11. If her boss is going to be in.
Getting Breast Implants Improves Your Sex Life . . . Unless You Get Giant Cartoon Boobs
A new study just found that getting BREAST IMPLANTS improves your sex life . . . unless you get CARTOONISHLY BIG implants. Then they have no effect. It happens because implants give women more confidence, which translates to a better sex life . . . but HUGE implants usually mean STRETCH MARKS that undermine any new confidence.
What's Something You Should've Outgrown by Now . . . But Haven't?
What's something you really should've outgrown by now, but haven't? The most common examples people give are: Calling their parents "mommy" and "daddy" . . . playing video games . . . being afraid of the dark . . . watching cartoons . . . and laughing at bodily functions, noises, and smells.
1. Calling their parents "mommy" and "daddy."
2. Playing video games.
3. Being afraid of the dark.
4. Eating sugary cereal . . . and not just for breakfast.
5. Watching cartoons.
6. Popping bubble wrap.
7. Laughing at bodily functions, noises, and smells.
8. Wanting to watch Disney movies and go to the Disney parks. (Reddit)
The Ten Most Annoying Messy Things People Do Around the House
: A new survey came up with the most annoying MESSY things people do around the house. The top five are not hanging up wet towels, leaving dirty dishes in the sink, not unloading the dishwasher, leaving clothes on the floor, and not replacing the empty toilet paper roll.
1. Not hanging up wet towels.
2. Leaving dirty dishes in the sink.
3. Not unloading the dishwasher.

And Now, Three New Things to Worry About
1. Cheating Makes You Feel Good. A new study out of the University of Washington has found that when you CHEAT . . . whether it's during a game or on your husband or wife . . . it makes your brain feel GREAT.
The researchers say cheating makes you gravitate to MORE CHEATING because of that HIGH you're getting. Quote, "We were a little appalled." (Gawker)
2. You'll Never Make Up For Lost Sleep. When you drag yourself out of bed every morning for work, you can sometimes make yourself feel better by promising you'll make up for lost sleep over the weekend. Well . . . nope.
A new study out of Penn State University found that sleeping too little can have a negative effect on your health . . . but sleeping an extra LONG time the next night or later in the week doesn't fully undo that damage. (Perth Now)
3. Now Even Chickens Are Giving You Cancer. It always FEELS like it's healthier to eat chicken than to eat red meat. So this is a huge downer.
A new study found that eating chicken can increase the risk of breast cancer in women just as much as eating red meat. Regularly eating either of them can lead to about a 40% jump in your risk of developing breast cancer. (Food Consumer)
A Guy Manages to Set His Apartment on Fire Trying to Get a Dent Out of His Beer Pong Ball?
On Friday, some college students in Pennsylvania were playing BEER PONG when one of their balls got dented. One guy tried to pop out the dent with a lighter and ended up setting the ball ON FIRE. He dropped it, and it set his mattress and box spring on fire. Luckily the fire department was able to put out the fire before there was too much damage, and before anyone was hurt.
Sales of Pedialyte Are Up 16% This Year . . . Because People Use It to Cure Hangovers?
Pedialyte's a drink with a lot of electrolytes that people give babies when they're dehydrated . . . and sales are up 16% this year. Experts think that's because adults have discovered Pedialyte is a great HANGOVER CURE. It has electrolytes, unlike water . . . AND it has less sugar than Gatorade.
A Groom Accidentally Forgets His Bride at a Gas Station, on the Way Home From the Honeymoon?
Last week, a newly married couple was driving back home to Germany from their honeymoon in France, when the groom stopped to get gas . . . and didn't realize his new wife had woken up from a nap in the backseat to use the bathroom. So he left WITHOUT her. And it was two-and-a-half hours before she got in touch with him, so he could turn around to pick her up.
A Drunk Guy on a Train Says His Bladder Is About to Explode . . . And Someone Calls It In as a Bomb Threat?
A bullet train in Japan had to make an emergency stop on Friday, when one of the passengers overheard someone say there was going to be an EXPLOSION. But it turned out it was just a drunk guy who needed to use the bathroom . . . and said his BLADDER was about to explode.

Spectator — June 2001
By Tom Fexas
Boats Are Like Golf Clubs,
Part II
|Part 2: Rowing Shell and Commuter Boat
The only downside of recreational rowing is that people ashore or aboard other boats simply cannot resist yelling "stroke, stroke, stroke" as you quietly slide by them. Be prepared to ignore them or holler back some clever phrase like, "Screw you, buddy, and the mule you rode in on."
Of course, these wealthy owners did not get the big bucks from sitting on their butts. They were very competitive people, so naturally, racing to and from work was common, with the fastest boats held in high esteem. Owners would continually build new vessels to beat their neighbors to Wall Street. A few of these boats, like Jem, Pam, Aphrodite, and Ragtime, still exist, so the dream of owning one is not completely hopeless, but their numbers are dwindling fast. I need my commuter to be 70 feet long with a beam of 11 feet, powered by twin 800-hp diesels so I can blow by modern vessels of the same size with four times the horsepower while pulling a tight little wake behind me.
Yes, these are the essential boats in my maritime golf bag. Of course, having all of them is no good if I have to keep them outside exposed to the elements, so I will need a huge boathouse for the lot and unlimited time and money to maintain the fleet. In fact, my ideal life would be to have nothing to do but fool with the boats listed above. Which brings me to the classic boat conundrum: "When you have the time, you don't have the money, and when you have the money, you don't have the time." A sad state of affairs indeed.

Wristband Kapture records audio clips
(WXYZ) - A new product is helping to ensure that you never miss another important moment in your life.
Kapture is an audio-recording wristband that lets you save and share the last 60 seconds of a conversation.
The creators of Kapture say that the wristband is for those "you just had to be there moments" that you can never replicate.
So how does it work?
According to the product's Kickstarter page, K
records audio in a 60 second buffered loop. The loop will constantly overwrite itself until the person wearing the device taps the wristband.
Kapture will then save the previous 60 seconds and send the audio file to your smartphone.
The file can then be shortened and shared with your friends.
The Kapture
app will be available for both iOS
and Android smartphones.
To check out Kapture's Kickstarter page, go here:
Do you think Kapture is neat or a little too invasive? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

I had melanoma removed in the early 90's and they took out a large circle, the size of a soda can, right on/next to the bone and put in a skin graft, the graft was taken from my thigh. Most doctors seem to have a specialty, my scar doesn't fit into a category, so I'm not exactly sure what kind of plastic surgeon I should be looking for any suggestions?
I'm Ready to Remove the 15year Old Scar/skin Graft on my Shin
Doctor Answers 2
Scar revision after melanoma excision
I'm delighted to hear that you've had no further melanoma problems since your initial surgery. I can thoroughly understand your desire to have your scar removed - most people like to leave their melanoma memories behind them!
A plastic surgeon with an interest in reconstructive procedures would be most likely to be able to help you.
I would suggest that the skin graft be serially excised and that fat grafting be done to the area under the skin graft. Excising the skin graft will leave you with a longer scar, but it would address the contour problem and provide a better skin match. It would not be possible to remove the scar in a single operation, so be sure to ask plenty of questions about the number and length of treatments that a surgeon anticipates before proceeding with surgery.
Good luck!
Scar revision
Unlike most other skin cancers melanomas are removed as a core of skin and fat all the way done to the muscle level. Most other skin cancers are treated by removal of some of the skin layer only. This has left you with an indent where the fat layer used to be and surface skin that is visibly very different than surrounding skin. The indent is best treated by free fat grafting. The surface skin is difficult to removed because there is little no surrounding skin laxity i.e. you can't just cut out the scar skin and close the resulting wound.
My suggestion would be to first address the indent with free fat injections and then do small serial excisions of the grafted skin in an attempt to get the surrounding normal skin to stretch sufficiently to allow direct closure.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
London, United Kingdom, 2011/04/12 - Codilink announces Footfall123, a new SaaS platform for retailers to run coupon and loyalty campaigns through mobile, email and social media - Footfall123.com.
Codilink, the world leader in secure digital coupons, today announced its latest initiative, Footfall123, designed to help retailers effectively use social media and digital channels to drive real customers into real stores. This ground-breaking new SaaS offering provides the missing piece of the puzzle of how to effectively convert digital and social media contacts into loyal paying customers.
With the growth of social networks and collective buying sites, high street businesses now have access to a huge number of marketing channels to help drive footfall into their outlets. Businesses that get their marketing right with a simple and consistently relevant approach to customers have a clear opportunity to stand out from the crowd.
The challenge however is two-fold:
Firstly, how can you manage all your different channels easily from one central hub, with consistent messages and offers being broadcast across them all.
Secondly, how can you track the effectiveness of each channel and measure exactly how many customers are being driven in-store from each one.
Footfall123 allows retailers to manage both of these through a simple, intuitive and easy to use platform, at a price thats in reach of even the smallest retailer.
Ben Chesser, CEO of Codilink, said: Based on over 5 years and one billion coupons of experience, weve built Footfall123 100% from the ground up to serve the needs of high street retailers. It not only helps manage the myriad of new ways of reaching customers such as Facebook, mobile coupons and group buying, but it also gives retailers guidance and ideas of how to do it best. Were really delighted with the great feedback and ideas weve got over the last 6 months with our beta clients, and cant wait to open Footfall123 up to the whole market.
Footfall123 has been running in a private beta with a select number of clients since October last year, and has already provided clear financial returns for business across the hospitality, entertainment and event sectors with an average over £2,000 of incremental monthly revenue being generated per retail location. Trial clients include chains such as Byron Hamburgers and Chilango.
The service will launch to the general public on May 12th 2011 at an invitation only event at the W Hotel in London, with private press briefings and demonstrations being offered during April.
To register your interest in attending the official launch party at the W Hotel, please go to footfall123.com/.
To request further information on existing clients and campaigns, or an advance briefing of the product please contact David Seddon.
Footfall123 is a SaaS platform based on the 3 easy steps to effective marketing, and includes the following features:
- Features to import existing customer data from multiple sources;
- Tools to collect new customer data via Facebook, Twitter, web sources or physical forms;
- Revolutionary customer tagging system permitting easy grouping into actionable segments.
- Offer wizard allowing generation of coupons, loyalty cards, gift cards and privilege programs;
- Ability to send out E:, mobile or printed coupons in less than 30 seconds;
- Every single E: / SMS / print item is unique and linked to the specific customer;
- Ability to post offers and deals into third party networks, including Facebook, Twitter and many others to come.
- In-store solution to allow the redemption and validation of customer offers in real-time;
- Real-time statistics showing transactions by individual consumer, by channel or by outlet;
- Auto-tagging system to show which customers responded to which offers, where and when.

We recognize this is a few days late -- blame a reporter's vacation -- but Republican Steve Cona has dropped out of the District 6 at-large Hillsborough County Commission race against incumbent Democrat Kevin Beckner.
Cona, the chief operating officer of Associated Builders and Contractors' Florida Gulf Coast Chapter, was also competing against fellow Republican Margaret Iuculano. And he said he didn't feel like his campaign was picking up the steam needed to unseat an incumbent and, given that, he couldn't justify taking the time away from family to stick with it.
"To beat Kevin is going to take a consolidated effort," Cona said. "I'm not sure I saw enough momentum to carry us to November."
His departure leaves a contest with sharper contrasts. Cona spoke as a pro-business, less-regulation variety of Republican candidate while campaigning. Iuculano thus far appears to be adhering to tea party themes.

The Tigers landed three first-team picks: seniors Torrie Hook, Maddie Powers and Haley Schepers. Allison Gottschalk and Brennan Hook were named to the second team.
Torrie Hook, who was also named to the all-state academic team by the Iowa Girls Coaches Association, finished with a team-high 285 kills and a .309 hitting efficiency, as well as 24 aces on 88 percent serving. She was also second on the team with 311 digs, an average of 3.2 per set.
Powers, the team's libero, piled up 399 digs, averaging more than 4 per set. She also added 21 aces on 296-of-316 (93.7 percent) serving.
Schepers finished with 184 kills and a .290 efficiency. She also served at a 94.8 percent success rate and was second on the team with 30 aces.
Gottschalk, who battled injuries and appeared in just over half of the team's sets, still recorded 171 kills and a .258 efficiency. Brennan Hook recorded 432 assists and 51 blocks in her sophomore season.
A-D-M finished the year 25-13, and posted a 7-0 conference mark to win the RRC title.
