During cross examination, Ross and Weaver agreed they never saw Plancher during the obstacle course. Ross was a wide receiver in the same group as Plancher, but he was running through it ahead of Plancher. However, Ross stated it would have been called to the players' attention and everyone would have known if a player had to help Plancher complete the obstacle course.
Weaver and Ross said they the tough workout was part of their development as college football players.
Weaver was asked during cross examination whether he trusted athletic trainers to take care of him. He responded that he did.
Near the end of Weavers' redirect testimony, UCFAA attorney Kevin Taylor asked Weaver whether he had ever been tested

The judge interrupted the questioning and ordered the jury out of the courtroom. He then admonished Taylor for violating his pretrial ruling instructing him not to reference whether any players had been tested for sickle cell trait. Evans told Taylor an attorney licensed in Colorado allowed

Agustin Villena has a problem convincing management to accept kanban limits. He writes:
I'm currently acting as a consultant, and I'm stuck on managers that despite the fact that the kanbanboards show clearly the extreme work overload of their people, they don't realize the negative effect on throughput and stress...
The problem now is to limit the total amount of projects assigned to the team. But their manager is who we can't convince to filter incoming projects.
And also there is the paradigm that slack is waste...
Why shouldn't we consider slack to be waste? According to Tom DeMarco, slack is "the degree of freedom required

to effect change." When put that way, slack can be seen as a necessary lubricant within an organization that prevents its moving parts from seizing together.
According to Mary and Tom Poppendieck in their book Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit, slack serves an even more fundamental purpose when viewed from the perspective of queueing theory: "Just as a highway cannot provide acceptable

A vigil on Thursday, June 3 will have the theme of holding Israel Accountable for Piracy, Murder, and Starvation, and End the Siege of Gaza.

In Tied Race, Candidate's Wife Didn't Vote
Originally published on Sat November 10, 2012 8:23 pm
Here's a lighter story to round-out this election week.
On Tuesday, 27-year-old Bobby McDonald ran for one of six city council seats in the town of Walton, Ky., population 3,724.
"The night of Election Day, I was watching the results come in," he told NPR's Guy Raz. "And I ended up in a tie with the other candidate."
McDonald was tied 669-669 with his opponent, Olivia Ballou

.
"There're many ways you can tie," McDonald said. "But in my situation, I let my wife sleep in and not go vote that day. And she's mad at me cause I did not wake her up."
The McDonalds, like a lot of Americans on an average weekday, are busy. They have three kids. Bobby has a day job managing the family business, a campground. His wife is a nursing student and also works at a local hospital.

Action Recognition, IEEE International Conference on
Computer Vision (ICCV), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, October 14-20,
- Algorithmic Steps
- Related Links
The aim of this project is to derive a representation of the
dynamical system generating the human actions directly from the experimental
data. This is achieved by proposing a computational framework that uses
concepts from the theory of chaotic systems to model and analyze nonlinear
dynamics of human actions. The trajectories of human body joints are
used as the input representation of the action.
Our contributions include :1) investigation of the appropriateness
of theory of chaotic systems for human action modelling and recognition,
2) a new set of features to characterize nonlinear dynamics of human
actions, 3) experimental validation of the feasibility and potential
merits of carrying out action recognition using methods from theory
of chaotic systems.
This section describes the algorithmic steps of the proposed
action
|
recognition framework. These are: i) Given a video of an exemplar
action, obtain trajectories of reference body joints, and break each
trajectory into a time series by considering each data dimension separately;
ii) obtain chaotic structure of each time series by embedding it in
a phase space of an appropriate dimension using the mutual information,
and false nearest neighborhood algorithms; iii) apply determinism test
to verify the existence of deterministic structure in the reconstructed
phase space; iv) represent dynamical and metric structure of the reconstructed
phase space in terms of the phase space invariants, and

The San Mateo County sheriff's office has released the booking photos of three home burglary suspects who were arrested after a three-city pursuit that ended in Belmont Thursday afternoon.
Alert Peninsula residents helped police track down and arrest Oakland residents; 21-year-old Dolton Tubby, 22-year-old Jorge Nervaez and 20-year-old Marquise Weaver.
Police responded to a report of the sound of a front door breaking at a residence in the first block of Lakewood Circle in San Mateo at about 10:20 a.m., Sgt. Dave Norris said.
Officers quickly arrived at the scene and based on detailed reports by witnesses, began a lookout for a gold, four-door car with a dark gray trim fleeing the area, Norris said.
Police located the car on U.S. Highway 101 and pursued it off the highway and onto Holly Street in San Carlos, according to Norris.
After evading police again, the car was spotted by Belmont police in the area of
|
El Camino Real and Ralston Avenue, Norris said.
With the assistance of a San Mateo County sheriff's detective, Belmont police pursued the car through the hills of Belmont and onto Rinconada Court, Norris said.
For a related video on this story, click here.
The three suspects exited the car, one with a handgun, and fled the area, according to the police sergeant.
Calls from community members helped police keep tab of the suspects' whereabouts and a short period later, all three suspects were safely taken into custody, Norris said.

President Barack Obama and congressional leaders will discuss the looming fiscal cliff impasse Friday at the White House, aiming for a last-minute deal to stave off automatic tax increases and spending cuts.
The 3 p.m. meeting -- which will include Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, House Speaker John Boeher, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell -- will come days before the deadline to reach a deal, and after another day of Republicans
|
and Democrats blaming each other for the stalemate.
White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage confirmed the meeting, but did not elaborate. Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck and McConnell spokesman Don Stewart both tried to put the onus on their rival political party -- in the former case urging the Democratic-led Senate to pass a bill approved by the GOP majority in the House, and in the latter asking for a detailed proposal from Obama.
Earlier Thursday, McConnell said his side won't "write a blank check for anything Senate Democrats put forward just because

once upon a time, many moons ago, in far off climes, several state lines away, lived Gladys. a glorious airstream trailer who spent her days travelling the highway along the Californian coastline. her silvery beauty and curvaceous body received many an admiring glance from passer~bys. she was loved by a family who spent their summer hols taking her to places and spaces.

The month of April has been designated as Child Abuse Prevention and Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) in the United States. It is a time to raise awareness about the prevalence and devastating effects of these behaviors and crimes, and to educate individuals, families, and communities about what they can do to prevent and put a stop to them.
Creating public awareness is an important first step in preventing child abuse and neglect and sexual assault.
The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual assault/violence. The 2012 SAAM campaign provides tools and resources that focus on promoting positive expressions of sexuality and healthy behaviors. Promoting healthy behaviors encourages sexual interactions and relationships that are consensual, respectful and informed. By starting the conversation, this dialogue can build safe, healthy relationships and communities. This primary prevention approach helps to create environments where people are safe in their relationships, families, neighborhoods, schools, work places and communities.
On the SAAM site, http://www.nsvrc.org/saam/current-campaign you will find information and materials in English and Spanish. Local organizations can tailor the campaign materials to their local communities.

She gazed around wildly as she strove to brace herself against the drunkenly tilting floor, and wondered just when they'd been transported into the holodeck. How could

"Deanna?" she asked worriedly, blinking as the details of the scenario filtered in: a thick shroud of white mist mantling the wooden deck and railings of an old-style sailing ship. Above her head, rents in the fog bore witness to a bright blue sky, and over the rail she could see the heaving swell of dark, rolling waves. She blinked, then swallowed, alarmed; what could have possessed her daughter to order up such an environment? She knew very well that Lwaxana had a slight tendency toward motion sickness.

Two lawyers among 11 federally indicted re massive alleged HOA corruption scheme
Posted Jan 16, 2013 3:29 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Two Las Vegas lawyers were among 11 defendants federally indicted Tuesday in an alleged massive scheme to take over area homeowner associations.
Keith Gregory and Barry Levinson and the other nine defendants were all charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Some defendants face additional charges, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
The two lawyers served as general counsel for homeowner associations at issue in the case. The newspaper article doesn't include any comment from the two or their legal counsel.
A federal investigation has been ongoing for five years concerning alleged HOA board vote fraud (in order to put desired individuals at the helm) and bid-rigging, kickbacks and fat contracts allegedly arranged
|
to benefit favored companies and service providers such as attorneys. A total of 28 defendants have previously pleaded guilty.

Male Chastity DevicebyCuckoldGuy©
Janice and Mike (not their real names) are a married couple in their mid forties. Married about twenty years. About ten years ago they started playing with a male chastity device and discovered they were having a lot of fun with it. They have been using it ever since.
The device is a stainless steel or plastic tube about three and a half inches long and about an inch and a half in diameter with a forty-five degree bend in the middle of it. A steel ring is attached to the tube. The flaccid penis fits into the tube and then the steel ring is fitted around the base of the testicles and locked into place with a small padlock.
Once locked into place the penis cannot be touched or stimulated and it prevents the wearer from getting
|
an erection. Janice and Mike agreed that Janice would be the keeper of the key. She decides when it will be locked on Mike and for how long. When he is locked up, she wears the key to it around her neck on a chain, claiming that the key is to her jewelry box.
Mike has always been submissive to Janice so he never protests when she wants him locked up. He

GFH in Morocco project finance deal
Manama, April 10, 2012
Royal Ranches Marrakech, a flagship project of Bahrain-based bank Gulf Finance House (GFH), has inked a deal with a consortium of banks led by Banque Marocaine de Commerce Exteriur (BMCE) to receive the second tranche of funding for the project.
The MoU sees the banking consortium release the remainder of the facility’s amount as progress continues on RRM gradually, said a GFH statement.
The infrastructure works on Royal Ranches Marrakech began earlier, with 45 per cent of the infrastructure work already completed.
RRM will now focus on completing a revised time schedule for the completion of the entire necessary infrastructure work, which will be submitted to the banking consortium while working on attracting investors and developers to complete the project.
Commenting on the deal, Esam Janahi, the president of RRM and GFH chairman said, 'Morocco is seeing steady recovery of its economy, and tourism represents a major

source of the national income. GFH is now seeking strategic partnerships with developers to develop RRM vertically.'

"A Voyage with Captain Dynamite" is the story of three boys going out from Cottage City in a small yacht who are caught in a storm and run down by a larger vessel, a fillibuster. They are rescued by Capt. Dynamite, who carries them off to Cuba. There, having sent word home that they are safe, they take part in many adventures and do, perhaps, a little more than a boy outside of a book would be

Dickinson airport security in questionThe Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport will soon lose its armed security guards, said manager Matthew Remynse on Tuesday during the Stark County Commission meeting in the Stark County Courthouse.
The Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport will soon lose its armed security guards, said manager Matthew Remynse on Tuesday during the Stark County Commission meeting in the Stark County Courthouse.
Local law enforcement is also unable to act as armed security, he said.
“We can’t force you guys to do this,” Remynse said to commissioners. “However, we would like to have you guys out there.”
Remynse is trying to work out how who will respond to an incident at the airport. The Transportation Security Administration requires officers to respond within 20 minutes, he said.
Because that’s not always possible for the Stark County Sheriff’s Office, the Dickinson Police Department would have to respond in their absence,

officials said.
“In emergency situations, they’ve always been the secondary responders if the sheriff’s office can’t make it,” Stark County Sheriff Clarence Tuhy said.
Dickinson Police Capt. Joe Cianni, speaking after the meeting, agreed.
Officers would not get paid to respond, Remynse said.
“If they were out there every day, yes we do have reimbursement from the TSA,” Remynse said. “But if we went to a situation where it’s a 20-minute response time, it’s no

Non-Fiction Monday Book Review: Stable, by Ted Lewin (Roaring Brook Press, 2010)
Release date: October 12, 2010
It's easy for us to forget, in our high tech, 21st century world, how integral horses were to all aspects of life just a century ago. Ted Lewin's newest picture book takes us back to a simpler time long ago in Brooklyn, when "horses did just about everything." With his wonderfully nostalgic sepia toned painted illustrations, he shows us how horses took people to the beach, pulled trolleys, milk wagons, and fire engines, and even, on occasion, pulled other horses.
But even though most of the horses are gone, one old stable remains in Brooklyn, one of the last remaining in such an urban setting and home to thirty-seven horses (who are
|
lovingly depicted in individual portraits at the conclusion of the book).
What do these Brooklyn horses do? Through a combination of simple text and heartwarming illustrations which now have sprung into vivid color, Lewin depicts the various residents of Kensington Stables being used for riding lessons, trail rides, or sent off

The Obama Administration has just ramped up the nation’s transition to clean energy resources such as wind power with a new Great Lakes wind power initiative that joins federal agencies with Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania in a regional development plan for installing offshore wind turbines in the Great Lakes. In addition to supplying clean, renewable wind power to local grids, the new plan could provide the mid-continent states in this group with an economic boost from selling low cost renewable energy to other regions of the U.S.

These two planets will be growing steadily closer together till they reach conjunction in the pre-dawn sky on Feb. 1. The last time Venus and Jupiter had such a close morning rendezvous was in Nov. 2004. The next morning conjunction for these two will be in May 2011.
You can Google “planetary conjunction” to get a more precise definition of what a conjunction is, but if you can imagine a celestial grid like latitude and longitude on a map, a conjunction occurs when the planets appear on the same longitude. For stargazing 101, what a conjunction means is that the planets in question appear really close together.
Venus is the second brightest object in our night sky after the moon. Jupiter is the third. Venus will appear larger and brighter than giant Jupiter because of its proximity to Earth and the Sun. Venus is about the size of the Earth, roughly 7,500 miles in diameter. Jupiter is about 90,000 miles in diameter. Venus is approximately 126 million miles from Earth while Jupiter is about 560 million miles away.
The conjunction will be the opening act for many morning stargazers. On Feb. 4 a waning crescent
|
moon will join the show.
All three of the night’s brightest objects will combine to create a glimmering triangle on the southern horizon. Venus and Jupiter will appear about 3 degrees apart and the moon will hang about 5 degrees below them.

Tale of a Seattle River Engages Public In Pollution
Debris near a Seattle park where a salt marsh is being restored — only about 2 percent of the original Duwamish River estuary remains.
By ROBERT McCLURE
When the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2000 declared Seattle's Duwamish River riddled with enough pollution to be considered a Superfund site, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer carried a splashy story. Then, as happens at many news outlets, we kept the story mostly on the back burner. Don't make that mistake.
We decided seven years later to check back in on the river's cleanup. Our series broadened public interest, bringing a standing- room crowd to a public hearing the day after our series concluded. People really care about these sites if they're well-informed.
And don't think you must cover your local Superfund sites in a massive project, either. The stories we turned up could have easily been rolled out

TORONTO - Kids who have trouble paying attention in kindergarten fare poorly academically in high school, according to a study published online Tuesday in the medical journal Pediatrics.
Regardless of a child's IQ, inattention in the early years was the strongest predictor of lower math and reading scores at age 17, more than aggression, anxiety or other behavioural problems, say the researchers from the University of California at Davis.
''Among the mental health problems kids have early on, inattention stands out as having consequences for educational achievement all the way through high school,'' says the study's lead author Joshua Breslau, assistant professor of internal medicine at UC Davis medical school.
Previous studies had also pinpointed inattention but had followed students only as far as age 12.
''It surprised us that, with all the changes that go on in the high school years, this pattern remained identical,'' says Breslau, an epidemiologist.
The researchers analyzed data on 693 children from inner city Detroit and suburbs taken when they turned six. Their teachers assessed them for behavioural problems including anxiety, depression, acting out, breaking rules and inattention. At age 17, the
|
same group took standardized academic achievement tests for math and reading.
The lead author's mother, Naomi, had originally collected the information to investigate the effects of low birth weight.

Is it possible that Iran's blustering president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, long thought to be a leading force behind some of Iran's most hard-line and repressive policies, is actually a reformer whose attempts to liberalize, secularize, and even "Persianize" Iran have been repeatedly stymied by the country's more conservative factions? That is the surprising impression one gets reading the latest WikiLeaks revelations, which portray Ahmadinejad as open to making concessions on Iran's nuclear program and far more accommodating to Iranians' demands for greater freedoms than anyone would have thought. Two episodes in particular deserve special scrutiny not only for what they reveal about Ahmadinejad but for the light they shed on the question of who really calls the shots in Iran.
In October 2009, Ahamdinejad's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, worked out a compromise with world power representatives in Geneva on Iran's controversial nuclear program. But the deal, in which Iran agreed to ship nearly its entire stockpile of low enriched uranium to Russia and France for processing, collapsed when it failed to garner enough support in Iran's parliament, the Majles.
According to a U.S. diplomatic cable recently published by WikiLeaks, Ahmadinejad, despite all of his tough
|
talk and heated speeches about Iran's right to a nuclear program, fervently supported the Geneva arrangement, which would have left Iran without enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon. But, inside the often opaque Tehran government, he was thwarted from pursuing the deal by politicians on both the right and the left who saw the agreement as a "defeat" for the country and who viewed Ahmadinejad as, in the words of Ali Larijani, the conservative Speaker of the Majles, "fooled by the Westerners."
Despite the opposition from all sides, Ahmadinaj

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- Gunmen from the rival Hamas and Fatah movements battled in Gaza City for a third straight day yesterday, firing mortar shells and grenades in clashes that killed seven people in the increasingly bloody power struggle over the Palestinian government.
The deaths brought to 25 the number of Palestinians killed since late Thursday, with at least 68 people wounded and efforts to forge a coalition government at a standstill.
The latest fighting, which started Thursday after a Hamas activist was killed in a bombing, has been among the deadliest in nearly two months of clashes.
The Palestinian prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, and a spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah, both appealed for calm. But after a brief lull, fighting flared up again.
In a clear jab at the moderate Abbas, Haniyeh criticized "troublemakers who are trying to veer away from the path of our people" by receiving "dirty American funding and arms." The White House is seeking some $85 million to help bolster forces loyal to Abbas.
The violence has been fueled by Abbas's pledge to call elections if the talks between

Hamas and Fatah fail. Abbas said last week he would move forward with his election plan if the coalition talks fail to produce results within three weeks.
Hamas, which defeated Fatah in parliamentary elections last year, opposes a new vote.

A weak October jobs report Monday combined with the release of a quarterly survey of business executives that showed little optimism about future prospects provided more evidence that Connecticut’s economic recovery has stalled.
“We’re in a race to create jobs and we can’t get out of first gear,” said Peter Gioia, an economist and vice president of the 10,000-member Connecticut Business & Industry Association, in a statement released Monday. “There’s a widening gap in expectations for the state compared with the national picture.”
The CBIA released its quarterly economic survey Monday, showing that only 13 percent of executives believe the state

The third-quarter survey indicated 44 percent of executives expected the state’s economy to worsen, which is an improvement from 58 percent in the first quarter but is still a much more morose assessment than given to the national picture.
The survey meshed with statistics released Monday by the state Department of Labor that showed Connecticut’s unemployment rate rising a tenth of a point to 9 percent in October, compared with a

Rape and religion in Israel: Get Religion, February 6, 2014 February 6, 2013Posted by geoconger in Get Religion, Press criticism, Religion Reporting.
Tags: C.S. Lewis, haredi, Israel HaYom, Jay Leno, National Review, New York Times, rape, reader-response criticism
Here’s a proposition for GetReligion readers: The quality of a news article should be measured not by how well it is written, but by how well it is read. The reporter’s task is to provide facts, context, and balanced interpretation of an event. However, if the reader is not able to grasp the meaning or context of a story the work, while being technically proficient, is unsuccessful as journalism.
The reader, then, is as important as the writer in the evaluation of merit. Unless the reader is able to bring a level of knowledge to the encounter to make the story intelligible, the article can be said to have failed. But where does the fault lie for this failure? In the reader or the writer?

It was a long 4 months with out Star. Without an answer, I became somewhat fragile and sickly but tried to get some class, but I was a colt at heart, a love struck yearling. I didn’t know much about love, I had only loved one other mare, my mother and in a different way than Star.
Sunset had more experience but, the good guys always get the girl, so I just stood in the pond for a while knowing, that Sunset was the good guy.
I knew from the beginning I had little to no chance, but I started to hope. That’s why I won’t make that mistake again. Hopes only turns to crushed dreams, just live life at the moment, don’t look forward or back. It’s about right here, right now.

In the hands of the media, art can be a powerful distraction vehicle.
I was particluarly interested in the lead-in to this week’s NYT Mag cover story: The Greening of Geopolitics. It reads: What does America need to regain its global stature? Environmental leadership.
It’s great that geo- and now petro-political seer, Thomas Friedman, can so easily conceive catchy metaphors to describe, imagine and connect-the-dots to an American-led, world-wide green revolution. There’s only one problem, however. It’s called denial.
Ultimately, the crisis here — as telegraphed by the lead line — has far less to do with energy or economics or petronomics or flatonomics than it has to do with the basic and non-complicated toxication of America’s political environment. That’s why the commissioning of artists to envision an “environmentally-cleansed
|
” — and therefore, more stature and leadership-friendly — American flag is ultimately a self-deluded and even collusive one.
By equating the problem with stature, the compulsion to re-envision the American flag serves as little more than distraction from the fact that we have so fundamentally soiled the actual one. What’s the message? Those colors do run, so we must also?
Well, we don’t need to re-envision the flag so much as we need to compost the people who poisoned it. And, as much as we should embrace environmentalism

Tell me what you think of Kraft Dinner, and I will tell you who you are. If you belong to Canada’s comfortable class, you probably think of the dish as a childish indulgence and a clandestine treat. The bite-sized tubular noodles are so yielding and soft, you will say a little sheepishly, and next to impossible to prepare al dente. The briny, glistening orange sauce tastes a little bit sweet and a little bit sour — at once interesting, because of the tension between the two flavour poles, but not overly challenging or unfamiliar. And its essential dairyness connects it to that most elemental of foods: a mother’s milk. KD is the ultimate nursery food, at least if you were born and raised in Canada, where making and eating cheese has been a part of the culture since Champlain brought cows from Normandy in the early 1600s — a tradition nearly as venerable as the fur trade. It may be the first dish children and un-nested students learn to make (“make,” of course, being a loose term; “assemble” may be more accurate). This only strengthens its primal attractions.
If you recently immigrated to Canada, you will have a very different association with KD
|
, as a dish that polarizes family meals. Your children nag you for it, having acquired a taste for it at school, or at the house next door. And if you count yourself among the 900,000 Canadians who use food banks each month, you may associate the iconic blue and yellow box with privation: a necessary evil while you wait for your next cheque to arrive, bought with your last dollar, and moistened with your last spoonful

As a software developer working for a small vendor I sympathise with the sentiment expressed in Wai Keong Wong’s open letter on e-health insider this week. However, I think the current situation with vendors is largely due to the way procurement has been handled, at least in my 8 years experience.
Like many healthcare IT software companies, ours was started by an NHS doctor who, frustrated with the IT systems he was using at work, developed a replacement for use in his department. The product was very successful internally – largely down to being developed very closely with the end users and the small scale allowed rapid product iterations. Unfortunately, despite many years of successful use and continued development through the CfH years we effectively locked out of the market because nobody wanted to commit to non-CfH systems.
Fast forward to the demise of CfH and we’ve expanded to several trusts and continue to work closely with end users and raise the bar when it comes to hospital IT. It’s been a sharp learning

curve working out how to sell into trusts. Attitudes towards vendors are changing, but I have the following observations (in no particular order) which may explain some of the reasons we’re in the current state.

Notes: Don't use a brand of yogurt made with gelatin (check the ingredient list on the carton) - it won't drain. Drain the yogurt at least 24 hours before using; the longer you drain it, the thicker and creamier the cheese will be but the less you will get (the volume of cheese also varies with brand of yogurt used). Use this nonfat cheese to make the Yogurt Cheese Torta with Pesto and the Cranberry Crown Cheesecake. Chill airtight up to 9 days from when you began draining it; occasionally drain off any whey that accumulates. Discard cheese if moldy or sour-smelling.

The McGuinty government is making good on its promise to repeal Bill 115 — the contentious legislation that imposed contracts on about 130,000 public school teachers and limited their ability to take labour action.
In a statement released on Monday afternoon, education minister Laurel Broten said that the act is no longer needed and will be repealed on Wednesday, Jan. 23.
"The legislation achieved its goal of ensuring fair, balanced and responsible collective agreements for teachers and support staff while protecting the gains made in education and reflecting the province's fiscal reality," the statement read.
"The Putting Students First Act is a bipartisan solution to a province-wide issue - ensuring fair collective agreements for teachers and support staff while addressing Ontario’s deficit. The act accomplished that goal and is no longer needed. What is

These are polynomials in one variable that are orthogonal with respect to a number of different measures. They are related to Hermite-Padé approximation and can be used for proofs of irrationality or transcendence of interesting numbers. For further information see Ismail (2005, Chapter 23).
These are matrix-valued polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to a square matrix of measures on the real line. Classes of such polynomials have been found

Besides helping Ana get the new widget explorer in place and handling the usual set of important distractions, I've been looking into various ways to help with performance in Plasma. Marco and Alexis have done a ton of great work already here, improving our SVG caching system substantially in recent months.
Today I managed to get rid of one in memory pixmap for every Plasma::Applet with a background and cut back on the use of the SVG cache at the same time; in doing so I found a couple of subtle bugs in the use of the SVG cache by Plasma::FrameSvg and fixed those as well. The end result is that Plasma now uses a bit less X11 pixmap memory (or whatever the equivalent of that is on the host system if it isn't x.org based), backgrounds for Plasma::Applet objects are correctly cached and the blast of disk activity that was being triggered while resizing widgets is gone.
Now that parts of Plasma, particularly libplasma, are maturing we are able to go through and do more of this kind of work. As we work on Plasma Netbook more (Marco has been doing a stupidly awesome job recently
|
, but more on that whole scene tomorrow) and target smaller devices, this becomes ever more important. We already run quite well on quite modest hardware, but we can do even better.
In other terrific news, Alex Merry killed the last known major crasher in the tasks widget recently. The fix will be in the next 4.3 release as well as 4.4. Way to go, Alex!

Let States Divest From Iran
by Jonathan Schanzer and Howard Slugh
July 26, 2007
Last month, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed a bill ordering his state to divest its pension fund from businesses that work with Iran's energy sector. The legislation, led by Adam Hasner, Republican majority leader of Florida's House of Representatives, passed unanimously in both chambers of the Legislature.
Unfortunately, the state legislation is unconstitutional. Only new federal legislation can legally allow states to divest from Iran.
In 1996, Massachusetts restricted state businesses from working with companies that dealt with Myanmar, formerly called Burma. Massachusetts sought to press Myanmar's military junta to take steps toward democracy and provide better treatment for dissidents. In 2000, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down the Massachusetts law in Crosby v. National Foreign Trade Council.
The problem was that the state legislation conflicted with a federal statute that enabled the president to impose sanctions on Myanmar
|
. The court argued that the president "has less to offer and less economic and diplomatic leverage as a consequence" of the Massachusetts law. According to the Constitution's supremacy clause, federal sanctions must trump state law.
Florida's sanctions against Iran could face a similar fate. Under federal law, only Congress and the president can implement federal tools - such as the Iran Freedom Support Act - to deter Iran from nuclear proliferation and terrorism. As in the Myanmar case

Argued Oct. 15, 1919.
Decided Nov. 10, 1919.
[250 U.S. 607, 608] Messrs. Leland W. Carr, of Lansing, Mich., Roger I. Wytes, of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Alexander J. Groesbeck, of Detroit, Mich., for appellants.
Messrs. John E. Tracy, of Milwaukee, Wis., and W. D. McHugh, of Omaha, Neb., for appellee.
Mr. Justice BRANDEIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
The Constitution of Michigan (article 12, 7) authorizes the Legislature to pass laws establishing'reasonable maximum rates or charges for the transportation of passengers and freight.' In 1907 it fixed two cents a mile as the maximum intrastate passenger fare on railroads operating in the Lower Peninsula and three cents for those in the upper. By act approved May 2, 1911 (Public

Laws No. 276), the two-cent rate was made applicable to all the railroads of the state whose gross earnings on passenger trains equal or exceed $1,200 per mile of line operated. Before the statute took effect, the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railway Company, an interstate carrier operating in the Upper Peninsula, brought this suit in the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of [250 U.S. 607, 609] Michigan to enjoin the enforcement of the act.

Bill Frisell On Piano Jazz
Born in 1951, Frisell grew up during the dawn of rock 'n' roll. His choice of a solid-body electric guitar — over the traditional hollow body associated with jazz — reflects the influence of early rock, country and R&B in his playing. An original thinker with a sound to match, Frisell performs tunes by Thelonious Monk, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Hank Williams here.
Frisell starts the program with a surprise: his solo version of "When You Wish Upon a Star," a tune most associated with Walt Disney's Jiminy Cricket character. In the hands of Frisell, this simple melody takes
|
on a dreamy, almost haunting texture.
"My favorite jazz musicians keep the melody throughout the tune," Frisell says. "It's the backbone, or the architecture, of the whole thing. Even if you're not playing it, it's still there."
Connecting With Bill Evans
The session continues with Frisell's solo take on "My Man's Gone Now," from George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess. Frisell picked up this tune when he first began studying jazz seriously by listening to Bill Evans and Miles Davis.

Care about Your Food? Then Care about Your Farmworkers Too
It’s organic. It’s local. But did the workers who picked it have health insurance?
These days, most people involved in buying and advocating for local and organic food say they want to support their farmers. They imagine the people
|
that grow their vegetables as sweating in the fields, cheerfully smiling as they pull carrots from their own land, which they till until the sun goes down.
The image of the independent and industrious farmer is upheld in places where “alternative” or sustainable food is sold and promoted, such as farmers markets and food stores, which often encourage consumers to “get to know their farmer.” Grocery stores that carry natural, local, and organic foods, such as Whole Foods and food purchasing cooperatives, commonly post large, glossy photographs of local growers.
But who, exactly, is a farmer?

The Psychology of Quality
© Jan 2003 Bill Frost – BSc, DCH, MBSCH, HNLPMP
The following was written as a thought-provoking feed into a strategic corporate consulting process that

Say the word “Quality” to yourself and what do you feel? What do you hear or say to
yourself? What do you hear? And what do you see? Spend a few moments saying the
word “Quality” and just

notice whatever you notice. Done that?
Well, the likelihood is that the average person will feel a little repulsed, will say “Must
avoid! Must avoid!” to themselves twenty times, will hear the music from psycho in the
background and will see the image of a much despised auditor rummaging mercilessly
through their business… Familiar? If not it should be: If you work in the “Quality” world
that’s the reality of how your clients may well really think.

On Thursday, Harper will star in the Contemporary Youth Arts Company's production of William Luce's one-woman play "The Belle of Amherst," which opens at the Capitol Center Theater for a two-weekend run. The play originally opened on Broadway on Feb. 25, 1976, starring actress Julie Harris. It is a portrait of poet Emily Dickinson, based on her work, diary entries and letters.
Harper, who will portray 15 different characters in the show, spoke at length about the play, Dickinson, her connection to the poet and how this production will help shape her as an actress.
"The show is based on Emily Dickinson trying to explain the misunderstandings of her life. Emily wanders back and forth in time as she tries to explain this message. She ranges from a teenager objecting the editing of 'The Tempest' in her Shakespeare club at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary to an old woman journeying through her death as she leaves Amherst for the last time.
"Not many people give as much credit as they should to Emily. They don't realize that she was just like every one of us. She fell in love and was heartbroken. She had to face broken dreams and obstacles that
|
all humans face. Emily was just more full of life than some of us.
"My favorite thing about Emily is how she found beauty in every little thing. She saw the world differently than most people. Everything was full of life.

Spanish colonel: armada's occupation of Tourah islet was disproportionate, inconsiderate
Morocco-Spain, Politics, 10/7/2003
After the failure of the intelligence services, Spanish Premier, Jose Maria Aznar, and his defense minister, Frederico Trillo, have not responded adequately to the stationing by Morocco of some soldiers, Spanish Colonel Amadeo Martinez Ingles said.
In his book "Spanish Army: De Facto Power to Humanitarian Ngo," published lately, the Spanish top military officer deemed the Spanish invasion of the islet (in summer 2002) a

"disproportionate and inconsiderate reaction," for Morocco did not have the intention to leave its troops there endlessly.
"If Morocco wanted to stay on the islet, it would have settled tens of soldiers equipped with stronger heavy anti-air weapons, backed by artillery and missiles on the shore, Martinez Ingles writes.

CORAL SPRINGS — When the dust settled over the Little League season in June, not everyone headed home with happy memories.
Disputes marred both the National and American Little Leagues' brief but game-packed seasons. Parents were angry; league officials, frustrated.
Now the battles of beginner baseball are erupting again.
The Coral Springs National League founder and his son have been burning the telephone lines in an attempt to pack the house at an organizational meeting tonight. Their goal: To vote out board members they say tried to bend rules last year.
And in the American League, some parents complained to district administrator Dennis Duke about how Sun-Sentinel Lifestyle columnist Ray Recchi was chosen president earlier this month.
"

None of us are professional board members," said Recchi, who said the matter stemmed from confusion over rules and has been amicably resolved. "We're baseball people."
Duke, who oversees 22 Broward Little League divisions with 13,000 children, said such spats are common in Little League.

Brian A. Tinsley, Ph.D.
Ph.D., Canterbury University, 1963
Observational and theoretical work in airglow, aurora, ionospheric and atmospheric structure, effects of solar variability on atmospheric electricity, weather, and climate.
Dr. Tinsley has been actively involved in observational and theoretical research on upper atmosphere processes (Aeronomy) for more than 45 years, and has served on many national and international organizations in this field. In 1986-88, while serving as Program Director for Aeronomy at the National Science Foundation, he had the opportunity to discuss long-standing problems in atmospheric science with program directors in areas of meteorology. This led him to begin research on the centuries old question of the effects of changes in the sun on day-to-day weather, year-to year climate changes, and global warming on the century time scale. During the past 20 years he has published
|
more than twenty papers on his developing theory of a mechanism for such effects. The theory involves the solar wind, as an alternative to the traditional view that changes in solar brightness were responsible. The solar wind is a highly conducting, extremely hot gas that blows from the sun outward over the earth. It impedes the flow of high energy cosmic ray particles coming in from the galaxy, and energizes high energy electrons in the earth's radiation

Financial planning experts typically recommend that you should keep the equivalent of three months’ salary in an instant access deposit account to safeguard against unemployment. If, on the other hand, you are self-employed, they tend to recommend keeping the equivalent of six months’ earnings in case you hit a sticky patch.
It is also possible to take out unemployment cover, either on a stand-alone basis or as part of a product known as payment protection insurance – which also covers accident and sickness.
Unemployment insurance will pay out a regular income for up to 12 months if you experience involuntary unemployment. But it will

not cover voluntary redundancy, which can be a big issue for those who work in industries where this has become a common way of exiting employment.
Unemployment insurance will also not cover you if you resign or lose your job as a result of your own misconduct, and it is of extremely limited appeal to the self-employed because it only

What about innocents who are executed?
I devoted my last column to the Torah’s insistence on taking the life of murderers.

Jews alone, as a fundamental basis of civilization.
No response from my readers — published in The Jewish Journal online or in print — dealt with these issues. I would have respected the responses more if the correspondents had simply said, “The Torah is wrong; I am more moral than the Torah on this issue.”
Instead they dealt with other issues — overwhelmingly with the issue of the possible execution of an innocent person.

is an interesting style of art—most of what i see (and really like) is these seemingly random or unusual combinations of shapes, torn paper, fabric scraps, images, fibers, type, ephemera...yet it all gels perfectly. i have tried and have not been able to achieve a result that i like.
then i drew a grid with a trusty #2 pencil and suddenly collage felt more accessible to me!
start with whatever size paper or fabric or wood you want for your foundation. begin the grid by drawing a large shape for your focal point of the collage.

On May 7, 2010, the Seattle Mariners were batting.225 as a team and a pair of writers approached general manager Jack Zduriencik outside the team’s clubhouse.
They asked if batting coach Alan Cockrell was in danger of being fired.
