HONG KONG (November 28, 2006) — Beyonce Knowles says she enjoyed working with Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy and director Bill Condon on "Dreamgirls," and is looking forward to doing more film roles.
"I got to work with the best actors. They are so polished and so supportive. Usually, when you have Oscar-winning actors, sometimes they are not so supportive. But I could just watch and learn," the 25-year-old singer said in an interview published in the December issue of Prestige Hong Kong magazine.
"Dreamgirls," adapted from the Broadway musical, stars Oscar winner Foxx as a car salesman who worms his way into the Detroit music scene and becomes an impresario, orchestrating the crossover of black music to white mainstream culture.
Murphy co-stars as a flashy R&B singer. Knowles, "American Idol" finalist Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose play the Dreamettes, who start out as Murphy's backup singers but become a sensation on their own under Foxx's management.
"It was a great vibe," said Knowles, who fronted R&B group Destiny's Child. "Everyone was just happy to be involved in the movie." Foxx won the best-actor Oscar for his performance in "Ray," and director Condon won an Oscar for adapting the screenplay of "Gods and Monsters."
Knowles won five Grammy Awards for her top-selling solo debut, 2003's "Dangerously in Love." Her second solo album, "B'Day," was released earlier this year.
Her screen credits also include "The Pink Panther" and "Austin Powers in Goldmember."
"It's exciting to do something new and put myself out of my comfort zone. I hope there will be more roles, and deeper roles, and this one will help prepare me for the future," she said.
"Dreamgirls," a DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures release, will be in U.S. theaters starting Dec. 25.

Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Effectiveness of Transtympanic Steroids in Unilateral Ménière's Disease: a Randomised Controlled Double-Blind Trial
- Vertigo Attacks [ Time Frame: 6month pre-enrollment baseline, 18-24 months after initial treatment ]The number of vertigo attacks between 18-24months follow-up were taken retrospectively during a face-to-face appointment at 24 months follow-up and compared to 6 month pre-enrollment baseline (as per Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium guidelines).
- Change in Hearing [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1,2,6,12,18 and 24months after initial treatment ]Hearing was measured as ipsilesional pure-tone threshold at Baseline, 1month, 2months, 6months, 12month, 18months and 24 months follow-up. Hearing level was taken as the average threshold across 0.5, 1, 2 and 3KHz.
- Change in Speech Discrimination [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1,2,6,12 and 24months after initial treatment ]
Speech discrimination was measured at Baseline, 1month, 2months, 6months, 12month and 24 months follow-up.
Speech discrimination was assessed by means of ipsilesional suprathreshold word recognition (%). Arthur Boothroyd's isophonemic word lists (AB wordlists, Guymark, Southampton) comprising sets of 10 words were played to the ipsilesional ear at the low-frequency pure-tone threshold of 0·5, 1 and 2 kHz +30dB with masking sound in the contralesional ear if necessary. The formula for masking level was: low-frequency pure-tone threshold in ipsilesional ear - bone conduction mean threshold (0·5, 1 and 2KHz) in contralesional ear - 40dB. Speech loudness and masking were rounded to the nearest 5dB. Step increments and decrements of 10dB for speech loudness and masking were used to attain the maximum speech discrimination score.

Amazon.com is going the route of QVC or the Home Shopping Network.
The leading e-tailer has introduced a new feature called "Gold Box," which offers customers discounts once a day on a select group of products. As with the limited-time discounted offers on the cable shopping networks, after clicking on the Gold Box's treasure chest icon, Amazon customers have just one hour to decide if they want to buy one of five deeply discounted items. If they pass up the offer, their Gold Box won't be replenished with new items until 24 hours later.
Amazon has been testing the feature on and off since May with customers who have bought at least one item through the Web store, company spokeswoman Patty Smith said. The company is offering products in its non-media departments only, meaning that customers will not see any offers for best-selling books or the latest DVDs, she said. --Troy Wolverton, Special to ZDNet News

National competition appearance follows first-place finish at regional event in Virginia.
Coral Gables (November 24, 2009) —
A team of University of Miami students is headed to the National Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl. The team tied for first place at the Mid-Atlantic Ethics Bowl in Richmond, Virginia, on November 21, defeating strong ethics bowl contenders from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, and West Virginia, among others to tie for the top spot with Clemson, the 2008 National Ethics Bowl champion. The 2010 national championship will be held in Cincinnati in March in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics.
The team heading to the national competition includes Robert Levine, an economics, accounting, and finance major; Ashley Carnes, a senior international relations major; Haley Kornfield, a junior political science major; Josh Kornfield, a sophomore international relations major; and alternate Caitlin Giles, a freshman political science major. The team's appearance at the national championship will mark the third time that UM will be represented at the national event since 2007. The top 36 teams from 11 regional events across the country are invited to the National Bowl. In 2007 UM took first place, and in 2009 finished in the final four.
UM sent two teams to this year's regional competition. The other team included Jonathan D'Ambra, a junior economics major; Andrew Hamner, a junior political science major; Elana Reman, a sophomore media management and political science major; Jaime Williams, a junior international relations and psychology major; and alternate Marcela Arcos, a freshman economics and Latin American studies major. The team narrowly missed being in the semi-final round.
"I'm thrilled by the impressive performance of both teams in the regional competition," said Anita Cava, associate professor of business law, director of the school's Business Ethics Program and co-director of the UM Ethics Programs. "Great credit goes to the students of the UM Ethics Society and many thanks go to our supporters: Elisah Lewis, the school's director of student research and support services; Monica Cruz, our program coordinator; and the former Ethics Bowl participants who have continued to assist us from their top tier law schools."
The two teams earned the opportunity to represent UM at the regional competition after competing in UM's sixth annual UM Ethics Debate at the School of Business Administration earlier this month. Conceived and funded by Karl and Tere Schulze and further supported by the Arsht Initiatives of the UM Ethics Programs, the annual debates help heighten students' awareness of the ethical components of real-life situations and improve their debating and communications skills. Karl Schulze has traveled to UM each year to both judge the campus ethics debates and offer remarks as the featured luncheon speaker.

Yesterday it was crisp all day. Never really warmed up. Mr. Sun, just not pumping it out the way he used to. Yesterday, well, "he tried to do his best," as Neil Young once put it, "but he could not."
The kitten, an April child who has lived all his young life in the lambent blush of sultry California summer, huddled yesterday, befuddled and bewildered. "Not likely to get any better, not any time soon," I told him. "This is called 'cold.'" Attempting to burrow into my feet, he makes it clear that he doesn't like it. "And 'cold' is why," say I, squatting before the wood stove, "we have this thing called 'fire.'" And lit the match.
Yep, Mr. Sun is in trouble, up here in the Northern Hemisphere. He's on the long slide, heading down towards the Solstice, at which time he'll flicker out . . . to fire up anew. Northern peoples for millennia honored the passing of the sun, and his rebirth, each year at the Winter Solstice—which is why the children of Saul, when they elected to make of Jesus a Christ, decided he had been born on Christmas Day. Even though, best evidence suggests, he was really born a Pisces.
Anyway. That's all a couple months down the road still. I wanted to post today Van Morrison's "Country Fair," from Veedon Fleece, the song that most says to me: undeniable arrival of autumn. But Morrison is a crusty poopstain about allowing his stuff on the tubes: as soon as somebody puts something up, his people descend to growl that it be taken down. Morrison is an ornery cuss by nature; his view of people frolicking with his songs across the tubes is also no doubt colored by the fact that, after 50 years in the music business, he's a near-pauper, gleefully fleeced by slimeballing "managers" who serially "managed" to pocket all of his money.
So I'm left instead with "Requiem Again," from The Durutti Column. Pretty autumn-like. Candles a good idea, too. Burning for Mr. Sun, to help him make it through.

Developers rule in Palo Alto
Dear Editor: It appears that in Palo Alto there is no level playing field and money certainly does talk. The city council and the planning department appear to take their direction from well-connected developers, spending taxpayer money for years while secretly working on oversized developments that they then spring whole upon the residents of the city.
By his own reported admission, developer Chop Keenan is demanding parking exemptions and zoning changes for his massive project on Hamilton, yet city residents just heard about the oversized, out-of-code "Gateway" office tower after it was rubber-stamped by the council. Keenan, accustomed to getting everything he wants approved by the council, is upset that he isn't guaranteed the right to dump more of his parking requirement on city streets to go along with his massive zoning exemption.
Another stealth project that we recently heard about was the Arrillaga proposed development at 27 University Ave. The audacity of this project is jaw-dropping — four buildings, recently changed so each is around 100 feet tall, with more than 200,000 square feet of space. This proposal takes over part of a park, displaces a historic building and tries to ingratiate itself by saying it is an "arts and innovation district," rather than a bunch of oversized buildings that will make a fortune for the owner. But a pig is still a pig even with the lipstick of a new name.
Again, this project has apparently been in the works for a couple of years, including lots of taxpayer-supported planning department staff time. Also the developers apparently hired away a couple of Palo Alto planning department employees, perhaps in case they need to know where the weak spots are in the zoning code. Rather than reject this disaster immediately when presented with it, the city council has now spent more taxpayer money to have a traffic report developed stating the obvious — that the project would drive up traffic. But I guess when you are going to have 3,000 cars a day coming to one small area, it is not obvious that traffic will increase.
Continuing their goal to work only for developers throughout the city, while destroying commute times, overcrowding schools, overtaxing city services and making the infrastructure backlog more severe, the city council is also considering multiple projects in the California Avenue area. Plans for massive office buildings, condos and parking structures are all in play and the city council is open for bidding.

Black Friday
Dear Editor: Regarding the "Black Friday" shopping extravaganza marketing stampede, here's a question: If the stores sell on this day at major discounts and still make profits, can you imagine how much they overcharge us the rest of the year?
Lina Broydo,
Los Altos Hills
New Gerber baby
Dear Editor: Uh, oh, the original Gerber baby, now 80 years old, is being replaced. The replacement child is of — gasp — Mexican, and even a small part American Indian, descent.
How can that be? Wait until Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer hears about this astounding development, let alone Joe Arpaio, America's sheriff-in-chief. I suppose that as governor, Brewer might attempt to impose an injunction against marketing the newly labeled baby food jars, at least in Arizona.
But I have to expect that ol' Joe will be especially frustrated because he won't be able to deport the new Gerber baby simply because she'll be able to claim that at least a part of her has been here longer than he has, let alone even longer than anyone else of European descent.
But I suppose he'll work mightily at getting around that technicality. Hey, it's just a minor detail; surely he'll find a way.
Ruben Contreras,
Palo Alto
Nuclear-free Mideast
Dear Editor: Bernice Fischer (Letters, Nov. 24) advances the suggestions of Noam Chomsky, a rabid anti-Israel professor, that the nuclear weapons threat in the Middle East could be mitigated by establishing that area as a nuclear-free zone. She then goes on to say it is "unfortunate" that Israel and the U.S. won't attend. I don't pretend to know whether or not Israel has nuclear weapons, but one thing I am sure of is that just the thought that it might have them has kept Israel from being overrun by the surrounding Arab states with their significantly larger populations. All of these countries have at one time stated that their aim was to wipe out Israel and "drive the Jews into the sea," which is what Hamas' declared intention is and has always been.
Saul Eisenstat,
Los Altos
Tsunami of greed
Dear Editor: Drawn by aggressive discounts and earlier-than-ever opening hours, shoppers opened their wallets on "Black Friday" weekend in record numbers and handed retailers a promising start to the holiday season. Merchants raked in an estimated $59.1 billion in sales from Thanksgiving Day through Sunday, up from $52.4 billion a year earlier, as millions flocked to stores and browsed online, according to the National Retail Federation. Spending per shopper jumped 6 percent to $423.
The true purpose behind having a holiday called Thanksgiving is being totally obliterated by a tsunami of greed. Meanwhile, more Americans than ever are living in poverty this year and very few people even seem to notice. However, perhaps we should all take time this week to remember the tens of millions of Americans who are going to be deeply suffering this winter. They keep telling us that "the recession is over" and yet poverty continues to spread like an out-of-control plague. But for most Americans, life is still relatively normal, and so the horrible suffering going on out there doesn't really affect them.
Ted Rudow III,
Palo Alto

- Reviews
Giant Blooms That Stop Traffic
• huge "snowball" blooms that last for weeks
• look incredible in groups of 3 or 5
• new "no fuss" variety is easier to grow
Known for its Huge, White Flowers
Few plants have flowers this large... and you'll get hundreds of them on each bush! Bright white blooms look like cheerleader pom-poms. You'll get flowers in mid spring that last through early summer.
You See These Plants in High End Neighborhoods
The Snowball Viburnum Bush is an easy choice for a decorative or showcase piece. It can also be used in border or foundation plantings, as part of a hedge, or many other designs. Landscape architects like to group these Viburnums next to colorful azaleas so they can complement each other. They thrive in full or partial sun.
So Showy, They Have a Number of Uses
These are popular in cut flower arrangements, too. You often see these snowballs paired with hydrangea blooms in vases and bouquets.
Very Unique Plant
The dark green foliage will take on tinges of red or purple in the autumn months. The Snowball Viburnum Bush begins with an oval shape in its youth, but the branches will spread and arch as the plant matures. It grows best in zones 6-9.
Attracts Wildlife, Too!
Great for bird lovers, too! Attracts a variety of wildlife. This is a fun plant that your neighbors will be asking you about.
Be sure to order large, well developed "3 gallon" sizes if they're still available. You'll get huge blooms the first season!

I'm at a sushi bar the other day, waiting for the chef to finish up some toro nigiri for me, when I decide to pay the raw-fish maestro a compliment. I praise the swank new restaurant he works in, and comment that the sushi has improved since it first opened. "It's pretty good now," I opine.
"Yeah, pretty good," he snarls sarcastically. "Pretty good for Phoenix!"
I chuckled because this fella really does work in one of the better spots in town, and because his is the sort of stylish eatery that could make it in Los Angeles or New York. The guy meant it ironically, but it did get me to thinking about the grade-inflation we practice in the Valley when assessing restaurants. One of my fellow food critics, for instance, doles out handfuls of four-star reviews like he has an option on a galaxy. Nothing wrong with encouraging folks. But just because someone digs a hole in his or her backyard doesn't mean it's the Holland Tunnel.

Hours: 7 a.m. to midnight daily.
Though I'm always on guard against a creeping bout of lower standards, I'm not entirely immune. If an Indian restaurant with a half-decent vindaloo moved next door to where I live or work, I'd be kicking my heels together like a leprechaun on meth. This may be part of the reason My Florist Cafe draws a maddening crowd of ladies who lunch for the midday meal, with a valet jamming as many Beamers as possible into that dinky little lot.
Partly, this rush can be attributed to the still-dismal déjeuner options in the area. As recently as 2003, a New Times scribbler awarded My Florist "Best Downtown Lunch," a pretty sad state of affairs considering the poor quality of the vittles. Indeed, my assessment of this pinkie-cocked soup-and-sammy shop hasn't changed since my arrival in Phoenix nearly two years ago: nice looking, and the pianist in the evenings is cool, but the comestibles are on the level of Coco's. Actually, Coco's may have the edge, because most of what My Florist serves is just a matter of slapping two pieces of Willo bread together with something in the middle. At least Coco's does hot plates.
A quick point about that Willo bread before I continue: Has anyone ever noticed that it's simply not that good? Few are the slices of Willo bread I've encountered that did not want to take one of my incisors with them. Tough and chewy is the way I like my jerky, not my bread. Willo, which is also owned by My Florist's David Lacy, could argue that prolonged mastication is great exercise, but I'll stick to saltwater taffy, thank you very much.
Normally, I wouldn't waste a bullet on a place like My Florist, but lately every time I turn around, its devotees are begging me to write about how horrible the food is there. These are people who sup there regularly because they like the atmosphere and the way Nicole Pesce tickles the ivories. Pesce is incredibly talented, and listening to her knock out everything from Rimsky-Korsakov and Chopin to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, I concede that all her plaudits are deserved. But a piano makes a bar, it doesn't make a restaurant.
One My Florist fanatic in particular that I know adores its San Fran-like ambiance so much that he's almost willing to brown bag a meal, as long as he doesn't have to chew My Florist's chow. I have sympathy. It is an attractive restaurant, with a long steel bar, simple black tables, teak chairs, and servers smartly dressed in long-sleeved blue shirts with tucked-in black ties. You even get the big-city attitude from the waiters. On recent excursions, one of mine, who bore a striking resemblance to Chris Kattan, punctuated each trip to my table with a perfunctory "Fabulous," or "Excellent."
Nothing fabulous about anything on the menu, alas. The soups du jour should be renamed soups du jejune. One day it was chicken tortilla, and fresh from the can would've been better. Never have so many ingredients gone together to create something so bereft of flavor. Another day, it was "harvest portobello," but tasted like the same stock. Only thing inspired about it was the name, considering that this brownish farrago used portobello flakes. Both were accompanied by Willo bread, which sat on the bottom of my stomach like a hunk of lead. Now, whenever anyone mentions Willo bread, I instinctively reach for my Rolaids.
The most repugnant item My Florist peddles is an appetizer, the "Willo chips and salsa." The "chips" are actually crostini topped with jalapeño jack cheese, and these are somewhat edible, but what really grosses me out is what My Florist does with the avocado. MF peels half an avocado, slices up the flesh, then uses the hollowed-out skin as a little bowl to contain a small dollop of "salsa," which looked and tasted like stewed tomatoes with hot sauce. It's the avocado skin that makes me want to hurl. Where I'm from, we refer to stuff like that peel as garbage.

You know how sliced ham or cheese begins to appear if you leave it out of the refrigerator for too long? That's what the ham, Swiss and Cheddar on my chef's salad had begun to resemble. It hadn't gone bad, yet. It just wasn't very fresh. Neither were the sliced tomatoes in the Caprese salad, but I'll let this slide since the Caprese at least failed to nauseate me.
And the sandwiches, which comprise half the bill of fare? There's nothing here you can't do better at home. PBJ? Puh-lease. If I'd done it, it would've been without Willo bread, and thus 20 times better from jump. With the Reuben, the sauerkraut was dry, and the pastrami unusually resistant to the battery acid in my stomach. The "cafe panini" could make an Italian suicidal: a couple of slices of ordinary salami, provolone, and caramelized red onion with a little grain mustard. No, it was not pressed. That would've required too much effort, I reckon.
My Florist's pastries, like the carrot cake and the Napoleon I tried, were stale, and the Napoleon in particular, cardboardlike. Breakfasts bite, too, but I don't have time to get into them here. Suffice it to say I'm hereby abolishing grade-inflation on the Phoenix campus. My Florist's food grade is now a D-. Class dismissed.

TEMPLE TERRACE — One night in May 2007, Michael Lee Ainsworth argued with a police officer and wound up injured.
But behind the encounter was another fateful day nearly 46 years earlier.
On Feb. 23, 1961, two Michael Ainsworths were born: Michael Lee, born to Richard and Louise Ainsworth at Manchester Memorial Hospital in Connecticut; and Michael Ray, whose early roots are unclear.
Both men wound up living in the Tampa Bay area.
Michael Lee Ainsworth, 48, became a mortgage broker, married with three kids, two dogs and a Temple Terrace house with beige carpeting.
Michael Ray Ainsworth, 48, got a tattoo of the grim reaper, acquired a minor arrest record and has eluded authorities for more than a decade.
The warrant he left behind dogged Michael Lee Ainsworth, tripping him up over and over, until the broker's life fell in ruins, he says. The details are part of a lawsuit he filed against a Tampa police officer and the city earlier this month.
Ainsworth never thought twice about his name until March 2002 when he surprised his wife by taking her to see the Goo Goo Dolls in Daytona Beach.
They rented a convertible and relaxed before the show at a hotel lounge. As the concert approached, Cheryl Ainsworth left to get seats and Michael Ainsworth went to the bathroom.
The waiter thought they skipped out on the bill. When a security guard saw Ainsworth coming out of the bathroom, the guard detained him in a back room and called police.
That led to the discovery of a Pinellas County sheriff's warrant for an open alcohol container violation in 1992.
"This has got to be a joke," Ainsworth recalls saying.
His name had never appeared in state arrest records before. Prior to 2002, he said, he had been stopped just once: for illegally changing lanes on the Howard Frankland Bridge.
But the other man, Michael Ray Ainsworth, had been arrested at least three times in 1991 and 1992 in Clearwater and St. Petersburg on charges of an open container violation, disorderly conduct and probation violation.
Daytona Beach police put Michael Lee Ainsworth in a patrol wagon and took him to a holding cell with spring break drunks. Hours later, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office sent over fingerprint records, clearing him.
Afterward, he went straight to the Sheriff's Office and got a letter on department letterhead:
"To whom it may concern: This is to certify that a comparison of fingerprints has been made and the above listed individual is NOT the individual arrested by this agency in the name of Michael Ray Ainsworth."
Ainsworth carried it around like a "get out of jail" card. He put a copy in his briefcase and another in his glove box.
He reached for it often.
After that first arrest, Ainsworth was thrown in jail twice and stopped or detained 12 times, sometimes after a routine check of his license. He's been flagged by customs officials at the airport and questioned by police while driving home his grandmother.
Ainsworth said he grew paranoid of flashing lights and sirens.
He admits that years of frustration had built up on May 20, 2007, when an officer thought he was speeding and stopped him on Busch Boulevard.
This time, Ainsworth didn't have the letter.
He was driving a rental car because his car — and a copy of the letter — were in the shop.
He felt vulnerable as he pulled into a Burger King, his 8-year-old daughter alongside him.
Tampa police Officer Kenny Norris asked for his license and registration and discovered the warrant. He asked Ainsworth to get out of the car. That's according to both Ainsworth and the police report.
Ainsworth told the officer he had the wrong man. He called his wife and tried unsuccessfully to call his attorney.
He asked to be fingerprinted. Norris again ordered him out.
Accounts differ slightly over what happened next.
Ainsworth says that when he opened the door, the officer pulled him out of the vehicle and flipped him onto the asphalt.
In his report, Norris said Ainsworth came out on his own, snatched his right hand away while being handcuffed, clenched his fist, took an "aggressive posture" and was taken down.
A jail booking photo shows a bruise over Ainsworth's left eye and scrapes around it.
Norris said Ainsworth made belligerent statements and smelled of alcohol.
A cool, half-full Michelob Light was found in a car cup holder, the police report said.
Ainsworth said the beer was left by his wife after a concert tailgate party the night before.
He was charged with resisting arrest without violence and an open container violation — the same charge that had haunted him all these years.
Months later, prosecutors dropped everything. But Ainsworth says the incident left him with a separated collarbone, crushed shoulder, fractured vertebrae, degenerative nerve damage, numb legs and hands, anxiety, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and depression.
He said he can't work. Banks are foreclosing on his home, and his family relies on food stamps and Medicaid. Medical bills have piled up. The church bulletin includes a permanent prayer request for the Ainsworths.
"One miserable day has turned our lives upside down," Cheryl Ainsworth, 42, said.
Tampa police declined to comment on the lawsuit, which seeks more than $15,000 in damages.
Ainsworth started a Web site, www.itsnotmywarrant.info, to collect stories of mistaken identity, hoping to lobby for laws that require officers to check fingerprints when serving warrants.
Over the years, the Ainsworths have looked for Michael Ray Ainsworth, searching for his name on the Internet, flipping through phone books. The St. Petersburg Times was unable to locate him, though records indicate that he recently lived in California.
There's no longer a warrant against him. In 2008, Clearwater police deactivated it after a television reporter inquired about Ainsworth's identity troubles.
This week, Pinellas County sheriff's spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda could find no trace of trouble for either Ainsworth.
"Nobody comes up with that name at all," she said.
Times researcher John Martin contributed to this report. Justin George can be reached at (813) 226-3368 or email@example.com.

I realized after I gave a talk in the Smarter Technology series, that I should have blogged about it ahead of time so people who were interested could sign up to attend. So in an effort to tell you about things before they happen, here are some upcoming Wonderland-related events:
Wonderland Wednesday – Drag and Drop Applications
April 14, 2010 – developer-focused session
Wonderland Community Server
Immersive Education Boston Summit
April 23-25 at Boston College, Boston, MA USA
Multiple Wonderland talks, including my keynote on the 23rd
MetaMeets 2010
May 7-8 in Dublin, Ireland
I'll be doing a remote talk – schedule TBD
I would be particularly happy to see as many of you as possible at the Immersive Education Summit in Boston. Not only will I be there in person, but almost the entire Open Wonderland Foundation board of directors will be attending. The program is filled with Wonderland-related content. In addition to my keynote talk, Professor John Belcher from MIT will be talking about his use of Wonderland in physics education, Michael Gardner will be giving a talk on three Wonderland projects that he's involved with at the University of Essex (MiRTLE, SIMiLLE and +Spaces), and a student from Aizu University in Japan will be describing his work on a new music browser for Wonderland. I'm particularly interested in learning more about the work going on at the IAVANTE Foundation on immersive medical training. Finally, there will be "Wonderland Behind the Firewall" workshop.
If you are able to attend the MetaMeets conference in Dublin, please let me know. I'm looking for someone to help "drive" Wonderland during my talk.
I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible, either in person or in Wonderland, in the coming months.

alabama preview The and Alabama meet in another national championship showdown Again Dream Matchup — Notre Dame By Lou Somogyi "Notre Dame and Alabama. At Notre Dame, football is a religion. At Alabama, it's a way of life." — Howard Cosell in the closing minutes of the 1973 Sugar Bowl won by Notre Dame, 24-23 F Junior running back Eddie Lacy is an integral part of the Crimson Tide's potent ground attack, amassing 1,182 yards (6.4 yards per attempt) and 16 touchdowns through 13 games. photo courtesy alabama ✦ Game Facts Date: Jan. 7, 2013 Site: Sun Life Stadium (73,230) in Miami Kickoff: 8:30 p.m. EST Television: ESPN Radio: This broadcast can be heard live on SIRIUS Satellite Radio (channel 129) and ESPN Radio (check local affiliates). Coaches: Notre Dame — Brian Kelly (28-10, third season), Alabama — Nick Saban (62-13, sixth season). Series Facts: This will be the seventh meeting between the two storied programs. Notre Dame owns a 5-1 record against the Crimson Tide and won the last showdown 37-6 in 1987. Prime Personnel: Offense — Junior quarterback AJ Mc- our decades later, the words of Cosell still resonate and hold true. One would be hard pressed to find a national title contest in college football that evokes more tradition and excellence than the Fighting Irish and Crimson Tide. That 1973 national title dream matchup had a 25.3 Nielsen television rating, according to The New York Times. The highest ever in the BCS era, which started in 1998, was 21.7 between USC-Texas for the 2005 national title. The 1987 Fiesta Carron leads the nation in passing efficiency (173.08), has thrown an Alabama single-season record 26 touchdown passes versus just three interceptions and is completing 66.8 percent of his passes for 2,669 yards. His 45 career touchdowns rank second in school history behind John Parker Wilson's 47 from 2005-08. His .923 winning percentage (24-2) as a starter is second all time behind Jay Baker (.934) among Crimson Tide quarterbacks. Defense — Junior linebacker C.J. Mosley leads the Crimson Tide with 99 tackles and was a finalist for the Butkus Award, which goes to the country's best linebacker and was won by Notre Dame senior Manti Te'o. He has seven tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, two passes broken up, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble. Mosley's three career interception returns for touchdowns also tie an Alabama record. Jan. 3, 2013 Bowl between Miami and Penn State is listed by Wikipedia as having the highest share (24.9) in the last 30 years, but it doesn't eclipse the 1973 showdown between Notre Dame and Alabama. Could the two titans top it this year? • Both programs have recorded a NCAA-high eight Associated Press national titles, with Oklahoma's seven in third place. • Only one school has recorded three consensus AP national titles over a fouryear period — Notre Dame from 1946-49. This year, Alabama is on the cusp of being the second, but must get through Notre Dame to do it. (Nebraska also won three in four years from 1994-97, but Michigan finished on top of the AP poll in 1997, while the Cornhuskers were awarded No. 1 in the coaches' poll.) • Notre Dame is on the threshold of reclaiming the best winning percentage in college football history for teams that have played at least 100 years. A victory over Alabama would put it at .73427, barely For The Record: Alabama is going after its second consecutive BCS National Championship victory after beating No. 1-ranked LSU 21-0 last year. With a victory over Notre Dame, the Crimson Tide would be the first program to repeat in the BCS era, which began with the 1998 title game between Tennessee and Florida State … Alabama's senior class has posted a 48-5 record, just one victory shy of Nebraska's class that went 49-2 with three national titles from 1994-97 to set the BCS standard … The Crimson Tide has 60 victories since the start of the 2008 season, which is the most in a fiveyear span in SEC history and is tied with Nebraska (1993-97) for the most ever in major college football … Alabama has a record of 5-4 against teams ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll, notching victories over USC (1977), Penn State (1979), Miami (1992), Florida (2009) and LSU (2012).

The Earthquakes' Chris Wondolowski was voted Major League Soccer player of the month for the second consecutive time by the North American Soccer Reporters, the league announced Monday.
The award for October was the fourth for Wondolowski this season, in which he scored 27 goals to tie the single-season league record set in 1996 by Roy Lassiter. No other player has won player of the month four times in an MLS season.
Wondolowski, from Danville and De La Salle High, led the Quakes to a 1-0-2 record in October and scored five goals in the three games.
Defending champion Stanford was awarded the No. 1 overall seed for the NCAA women's soccer tournament and opens at home Friday at 7 p.m. against Idaho State (11-5-3).
The second-round matchup will pit the Stanford-Idaho State winner against Santa Clara (11-3-6) or Long Beach State (12-7-0). Those teams meet Saturday at 1 p.m. at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Cal (15-5-0) earned an at-large berth into the tournament and will play Pepperdine (14-6-0) on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Malibu.
The four No. 1 seeds are Stanford (17-1-1), BYU (18-1-1), Penn State (17-3-1), and Florida State (19-3). The College Cup will be played Nov. 30 and Dec. 2 at the University of San Diego.

FORTUNE -- Microsoft (msft) currently has a 4.2% share of the worldwide smartphone market and 0% share of the market for tablet computers, but that didn't stop Gartner from predicting back in April -- two months before this week's big Windows 8 announcements -- that Redmond was about to take a significant share of both.
"IT departments will see Windows 8 as the opportunity to deploy tablets on an OS that is familiar to them and with devices offered by many enterprise-class suppliers," Gartner's Carolina Milanesi wrote in an April 7 press release. Without having heard about -- never mind seen -- the Surface tablets, she predicted that Microsoft would grab a 4.1% share of the tablet market before the end of 2012 and an 11.8% share by 2016. That would put Surface in third place after Apple's (aapl) iOS and Google's (goog) Android.
She was even more bullish about Microsoft's chances in the smartphone business. By 2015, according to a companion press release, Microsoft's Windows Phones will have overtaken Apple's iPhone to become the No. 2 smartphone brand, second only to Android.
Milanesi could be right. But if Gartner's rosy forecasts for Microsoft's chances in the mobile space are wrong, it wouldn't be the first time. See The mobile world according to Gartner and The best analysis that money can buy.

How should I setup my home network?
Hi everybody,
I heard that Linux was very good for networks and I decided to setup my own home network using it. I'm not an expert with either Linux or Networking so I need some advices. From what I read, SAMBA seems to be a good solution but I didn't found the informations I needed yet.
Here is my current setup:
- cable modem
--- router
----- Windows Vista laptop (wifi)
----- Windows Vista laptop (wifi)
----- Windows XP(ethernet)
------- printer
----- Windows 7/Ubuntu desktop (wifi)
(I used "-" because indentation doesn't work)
*Every computer is connected to the internet via the router
*Only the Windows XP desktop can use the printer
*File sharing is not enabled on any computer
*Backups are only done before formatting a computer
Here is what I want my network to do:
- I want to be able to access my files from every computer connected to the network
- I want to be able to access the network via the internet (remote access or VPN)
- I want backups to be done automatically at regular intervals (on an external computer/hard disk (server)
- I want the printer to be accessible from every computer
Some advices, ideas and HOWTO's to help me configure my home network would be appreciated.
I hope my question is clear enough and don't hesitate to tell me if something is missing or unclear.
Thank You
Have a browse through the LQ Linux Answers page I linked here above. It should give you some starting points to consider :)
Meanwhile, I'm going to move your thread over to <Linux Networking> so it gets the exposure it deserves.

The old adage is: Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. And while there is little chance that the San Jose Earthquakes and the Los Angeles Galaxy have forgotten their playoff battle from 2003, the Quakes will nonetheless attempt to repeat their epic comeback Saturday when they take on the Galaxy in the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinal Series at Spartan Stadium.
As in 2003, San Jose find themselves trailing Los Angeles by two goals, meaning the Quakes will have to prevail by two scores in Saturday's contest just to force extra time. And given the tension-filled mood surrounding Friday's practice session, it appears that the enormity of the task is beginning to show itself.
But according to forward Brian Ching, any anxiousness being displayed is more an indication of the team's eagerness, rather than a lack of confidence.
"I think we're all on edge," said Ching. "But I think we're just chomping at the bit to get out there and get the game going. We're a confident team right now. We've scored three goals on the Galaxy before, so we're going to be looking to do that this weekend."
In order to achieve that objective, San Jose will need vast improvement in all areas of their game, and that means reverting to the form that served the team so well during the regular season.
"We just have to play the same way we play [at Spartan] all the time," said San Jose head coach Dominic Kinnear. "We can't go out with reckless abandon. We have to stay in our areas, keep our shape, and remember all of the [reasons] why we've been successful this year."
Specifically, the backline will need to eliminate the defensive mistakes made in last Sunday's encounter. The midfield will need a more incisive Mark Chung, and a less amped-up Dwayne De Rosario. And up top, Ching's aerial prowess will be counted on to score the kind of goals, especially from set pieces, that are often the difference in games contested at Spartan Stadium.
"[Set pieces] are a big part of our game," said Ching. "It will be important to get a goal off a set piece, and there will be lots of opportunities to do that. I'm confident we'll get one."
Another player San Jose is counting on to get goals is forward Alejandro Moreno, who has been nursing a sprained right ankle that has prevented the Venezuelan from striking the ball with his usual venom. There wasn't much discernible improvement in Moreno's condition at Friday's training session, but the ex-Galaxy forward is determined to gut it out, and appears to be first choice to line up alongside Ching.
"Hopefully, once the game starts I'll feel pretty good, just like I did last Sunday," said Moreno.
A rabid home crowd should spur on San Jose's quest for goals, but the Quakes will also need to keep their emotions in check, and fight off the temptation to attack rashly and leave themselves exposed at the back. That's what happened in 2003, when Carlos Ruiz and Peter Vagenas both tallied in the game's first 13 minutes. With the speed possessed by Galaxy forwards Landon Donovan and Herculez Gomez, the Quakes will have to be especially wary.
"[Kinnear] has been telling us the last two days, 'Don't be stupid,'" said defender Eddie Robinson. "Get goals, but don't leave it four-on-two at the back. We just have to play our game."
In addition to keeping tabs on the two Galaxy front-runners, San Jose will need to put the clamps on the Los Angeles midfield, especially veteran Cobi Jones. The former U.S. international was an immense factor in Sunday's contest, and proved that when given time and space, he can deliver pinpoint passes to the Galaxy forwards.
According to Kinnear, one key is to apply more pressure to the L.A. midfield.
"We have to make sure that when we turn the ball over, we have players around the ball," said Kinnear. "We can then rush them so we don't have them picking their spots."
As for the his attack, Kinnear added, "[Saturday] night, I expect us to play sharper, with our forwards holding the ball, and guys running off of them. I think we'll cause [L.A.] problems."
If that proves to be the case, then maybe history can repeat itself.

Meningococcal Disease Outbreak Due to an ongoing outbreak of meningococcal disease in Southern California, all gay and bisexual men and all HIV-infected persons in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties are recommended to receive MenACWY vaccine. (See press release from 8/3/2016.) Most of the patients have been gay or bisexual men. Updates on the number of cases associated with the outbreak are posted here. If you have a doctor or regular source of care, call to schedule a vaccination appointment. Vaccination clinics can also be located using CDC's Adult Vaccine Finder. For more information about the outbreak, how to stay protected from meningococcal disease and where to get vaccinated, visit these health department websites: Los Angeles County Public Health (Call 211 for information 24/7) Orange County Public Health Services (Call 1-800-564-8448 for more information) Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services San Diego County Public Heath
FAQ - Which meningococcal vaccine is recommended for this outbreak?FAQ - Where can I get the meningitis (meningococcal conjugate) vaccine?
General Information on Meningococcal DiseaseMeningococcal disease is a typically severe bacterial infection of the blood or brain. These infections can cause hearing loss, learning problems, brain damage, loss of a limb, or death. About 1 in 10 people with meningococcal disease will die from it even if treated appropriately.
The bacteria that cause meningococcal disease are spread through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions. This can occur when people live or sleep in close contact or through other close contact such as kissing. Teens and young adults have a higher risk for meningococcal disease. Sometimes Neisseria meningitidis bacteria spread to people who have had close or lengthy contact with a patient with meningococcal disease. People in the same household, roommates, or anyone with direct contact with a patient's oral secretions, meaning saliva or spit, (such as a boyfriend or girlfriend) would be considered at increased risk of getting the infection.
People who qualify as close contacts of a person with meningococcal disease should receive antibiotics to prevent them from getting the disease. This is known as prophylaxis (pro-fuh-lak-sis). The health department investigates each case of meningococcal disease to make sure all close contacts are identified and receive prophylaxis. This does not mean that the contacts have the disease; it is to prevent it.
A vaccine against four types of the meningococcal bacteria is recommended routinely for 11-12 year olds, adolescents entering high school or 15 years of age, college freshman living in dorms, and other high-risk persons. Teens need a booster shot when they are 16 years old to stay protected when they are at highest risk. Older teens who didn't get the shot should talk to their doctor about getting it as soon as possible, especially if they are about to move into a college dorm or go into the military. Other people at high-risk for meningococcal disease, including children and adults with certain medical conditions, may also need to get vaccinated. Talk to your doctor.

Happy Friday! Another week has come and gone. Its been a great one but I'm ready for some R&R.
1. I have been so exhausted all week and dealing with not so fun headaches. Monday and Tuesday I got in great workouts but Wednesday I came home and immediately went to sleep after work. I was so tired, and only woke up to go to bed. Thursday I had a work event in the evening and didn't want to push it after not feeling great on Wednesday so I took another rest day. I'm planning to get in a spin class tonight after work and see how I feel about working out on Saturday. If I feel up to it, great. If not, no biggie. My fitness goals are about the long term. I'm not going to let myself get stressed over short-term hurdles.
2. I am loving this song. My barre instructor plays it during her classes and it is so perfect for doing those micromovements. The beat keeps you inspired to keep going even after you lose feeling in your legs.
3. The 9 most epic texting pranks of all time. I died reading these. Too funny.
4. Mohawk kitty! I can't even handle the cuteness.
5. Josh and I are doing our first 5k tethered together. You read that right, Lincoln is doing a Kicks 'n Kisses 5k couples run for Valentines Day. Joanna and Jeff are running it too and were the ones to tell us about it. We are so excited to make a day out of it and explore Lincoln together after our race. As excited as I am for the Valentine themed race, I'm even more excited for the shirts. How awesome are they?
Question of the Day: What's something on your mind this Friday?
