HOUSTON (AP) — The next trial in the cases of three former Houston police officers accused of beating a teenage burglary suspect has been scheduled for next month.
During a court hearing Wednesday in Houston, a judge scheduled the trial to begin April 29.

Hassan, along with former officers Phillip Bryan and Drew Ryser, face misdemeanor charges for their roles in the alleged March | 2010 beating of the teen, which was caught on video surveillance. A fourth former officer was acquitted in May.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s name won’t come up in President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night. But that doesn’t mean the president won’t have the former Massachusetts governor firmly in mind.
You can look at all of Obama’s lines championing the middle class as an attempt to portray Romney as a Richie Rich fat cat who’s out of touch with ordinary Americans, The Hill
“Every time he [Obama] says ‘wealthy few,’ it almost implies investor class and Mitt Romney,” Tobe Berkovitz, a professor of communications at Boston University who specializes in political communications, told The Hill. It’s an “easy” association, he said.
Despite former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s victory | in the South Carolina primary Saturday and his lead in the latest Florida polls, Obama apparently still views Romney as his main threat.
The president’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, sent an e-mail to reporters Monday saying Romney “continues to lose the middle class.”
Obama will draw attention to Romney Tuesday night by reiterating his support for the “Buffett Rule,” which would raise taxes on the wealthy.

dOP // The Odyssey of Dreamy Peace [Apt. International]
I remember being crushingly disappointed when I first discovered dOP, as I was initially convinced it was a comeback of an early nineties Progressive House act that I once loved. Disappointment was quickly replaced with pleasure as dOP – French trio Clement Zemstov, Damien Vandesandea and Jonathan Illel – turned out to be particularly good at crafting quality Deep House. Over the years their style has developed away from being just good Deep House, into something that, when heard blind, is always unmistakably dOP.
Even though the pace is more urgent than their usual output, the hallmarks of dOP are all present in The Odyssey of Dreamy Peace; folksy, storytelling vocals, mouth harps (!), a low bass saxophone (that is doing its best to recreate the bassline from Josh Wink’s Don’t Laugh), a pensive 60′s organ and distinctly Parisian saxophone solos. Its all so unexpected and fresh, completely sidestepping any pitfalls of becoming a chin stroking Jazz exercise with an emphatic triple jump. An absolute | riot from start to finish.
Not wanting to be outdone on the sonic surprise front, Osamu M & Hiromat is a bit more conga-licious in its approach to start, but before you get any ideas about this being a simple Samba workout, wedding bells begin to cascade over the middle third. The saxophone and organ is retained from the original, forging that link to the source, but managing to remain distinct and inventive.

This weekend's "not a baked eel" selection is prose, not song, but it would make eminently suitable material for an original piece.
The "loathly lady" is a story type that usually goes over well today. The male protagonist is in search of the answer to the question, "What do women want?" which he must answer or else forfeit his life. After getting many answers from many people (which range from the pedestrian to the avaricious to the risque), he finds an old and ugly woman who can tell him the true answer, but only if he'll swear to marry her. He does, and she reveals | the answer: Sovereignty. Later, she offers him a choice that can magically change her appearance - but he lets her make up her own mind on the matter, which is how her curse is undone.
The most famous of these stories is surely The Wife of Bath's Tale. In this one, the lady is old and ugly, and she tells her new, reluctant husband that he can have her fair and faithless, or foul and faithful. I first encountered the trope in The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell, in which Sir Gawain, also faced with a loathly bride | [

When Steve Strate walked up the stairs from the basement of his mother-in-law’s Orem rambler on Oct. 25, 2009, he put his.380 handgun on the porch and called 911. In a cool tone, he informed the operator he had just killed his brother-in-law, Marvin Sidwell. “He came at me with a damned chair.”
The Utah County Attorney’s Office charged Orem-based contractor Strate with murder. At his preliminary hearing on March 24, 2010, Strate’s attorney, Ron Yengich, pointed out that not only had the enraged 51-year-old Sidwell threatened his neighbor and his sister—Strate’s wife, Linda—he also had methamphetamine in his system, potentially amplifying the aggressiveness of a man his own mother, 79-year-old Lavern Sidwell, in court described | as “paranoid.” Lavern Sidwell noted, “Stephen was very good to Marvin, and Marvin was always bragging about Steve.”
Police found Sidwell on his back, with multiple gunshot wounds, and a 6.8 pound steel stool just above his outstretched hands, consistent with Strate’s story, Yengich argued, that he had legally defended himself. Judge James Taylor, however, felt that a jury should decide whether it was self-defense and ordered Strate to stand trial.

Inflammation is a necessary component of the immune system’s fight against infections and the repair of damaged tissues—but problems can arise if the fire won’t subside.
Asthma, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and even depression have been linked to a constant activation of the inflammatory response. It’s not an easy condition to treat, either, because its causes include obesity, stress, and pollution, among others. As a result, Wendy Demark-Wahnefried, Ph.D., the Webb Endowed Chair of Nutrition Sciences, and many other UAB researchers are investigating ways to control inflammation on an individual basis.
They’re not the only ones searching for a solution. Several high-profile celebrities have been touting “anti-inflammatory | ” diets as a cure. These diets call for eating lots of fruits and vegetables, decreasing consumption of processed carbohydrates, replacing fats and proteins containing omega-6 with their omega-3 counterparts such as fish, and using olive oil instead of other oils.

It’s logical: If inflammation causes certain diseases, then eating foods that combat inflammation should prevent those diseases. But according to Demark-Wahnefried | [

Question: Who developed the first language compiler and when?
Answer: Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Murray Hopper, in 1949. The compiler, written in assembly language, converted symbolic mathematical code into machine code.
By 1949 programs contained mnemonics that were transformed into binary code instructions executable by the computer. Admiral Hopper and her team extended this improvement on binary code with the development of her first compiler, the A-O. The A-O series of compilers translated symbolic mathematical code into machine code, and allowed the specification of call numbers assigned to the collected programming routines stored on magnetic tape. One could then simply specify the call numbers of the desired routines and the computer would “find them | on the tape, bring them over and do the additions. This was the first compiler,” she declared.

When Chef Miguel Larcher bought vegan restaurant d’Sozo from former owner Larry Cook back in December, his plans were to close it and reopen it with a new name.

That didnt’ last, and he ended up closing to devote himself to the search. He thought he had a place picked out last week in downtown Wichita, but at the last minute, the deal fell through.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Reviewer: James Van Maanen
Rating (out of 5): ****½
I find it hard to believe that any movie buff out there has not yet seen Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, the late Russ Meyer's jaw-dropping non-sequel to the equally jaw-dropping (for different | reasons) Valley of the Dolls, Mark Robson's "go" at the Jacqueline Susann novel. Erin Donovan's review captures the camp of the earlier film, but Meyer's movie (made three years later) is camp of a very different order. Although classy dames like Dorothy Kingsley and Helen Deutsch did the screenplay for the original Valley (hoping somehow to have their cake and eat it, too), the Beyond script comes from Roger Ebert (yes, him), and he wants | [

If you ask me (I don't know why would you do that, though
): while the approach is nearly the opposite in the Zen and the Theravada tradition, the goal is the same. Theravadins tell you almost nothing about the posture to convince you not to fixate over it, and just put the body down. Zen tells you almost everything about the posture to convince you not to fixate over it, and just put the body down.
The first strategy based on the premise that the lack of instruction is what you need to not being concerned, while the second strategy based on the premise that clear instruction is what you need to not being concerned.
Every of the two can backfire: In the first case one can spend his/her whole meditation wondering how he/she should sit, while in the second case one can spend his/her whole meditation worrying about keeping a precise posture. Both problems effectively prevent the stilling of the body, which otherwise happens naturally.
But this is just pure intuition... although it | is quite true that in many case the only real difference between the traditions is just the approach, and the essence is the same.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Daniel Inouye, a World War II veteran who received the Medal of Honor and who represented Hawaii in the Senate for five decades, has died, his office announced Monday. He was 88.
He died of respiratory complications late this afternoon, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, with his wife and son at his side. Inouye was hospitalized last week and had undergone procedures to regulate his oxygen intake.
He won his ninth consecutive term in 2010 and was the second longest-serving senator in the chamber's history, trailing only Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Inouye was a senator for all but three of the Hawaii's 53 years as a state and had served as its first House member before that.
Senators of both parties took to the chamber floor Monday to mourn his death, and President Barack Obama issued a statement describing Inouye as "a true American hero."
"In Washington, he worked to strengthen our military, forge bipartisan consensus, and hold those of us in government accountable to the people we were elected to serve," Obama wrote. "But it was his incredible bravery during World War II -- including one heroic effort that cost him his arm but earned him the Medal of Honor -- that made Danny not just | a colleague and a mentor, but someone revered by all of us lucky enough to know him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Inouye family."

I’d like to be skinny. And have a million dollars. G’night folks!
I have just been informed that, even though it is Friday, I still need to put at least some effort into writing an intelligent blog post. So, here goes.
Here’s my first thought about health and the economy: Obviously, there have been massive layoffs across the board, and IT has not been spared. Over the past two years, not only have there been layoffs due to the general contractions (or as I refer to them, death-spasms) of the economy, but since 2006, there has been an increase in the number of internationally outsourced jobs by IT service vendors, according to Network World.
Data prepared by Everest Group Inc., a research and outsourcing consulting firm, shows in broad brush fashion the shift of jobs overseas by some | major IT services vendors. In 2006, U.S. and European firms typically had less than 20% of their workforces offshore; Now, for most companies that figure may well be generally over 30%.

Some cooks in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India cook their split yellow lentils, toovar dal, as they have done for thousands of years to make the daily stew they call sambar. As when any dried legumes are cooked, a thin liquid rises to the top of the pot. This is skimmed off, seasoned, and often eaten over rice. The spices used vary, but black pepper for pungency and tamarind for sourness were probably basic to early versions of the broth—and it came to be known as milagu-tannir, Tamil for pepper-water.
Mixed-race Anglo-Indians adopted and enriched the broth, added meat (usually lamb), and corrupted its Tamil name into the vaguely Irish-sounding mulligatawny. It became a popular dish for Sunday lunch, | served with rice and generous squeezes of lime juice—and India's British community took it up, as well. (''[I]n vain our hard fate we repine…on Mullagheetawny we dine'', went a British song from 1784.)

Dear Word Detective: I am a sometimes math teacher. Occasionally, even a mathematics teacher. As such, I follow the latest and greatest on my subject and am troubled by the increasing use of the word “maths.” I know you usually look backward to enlighten us on words, but here we see a trend unfolding forward.

None of my (younger) maths (?) colleagues are as interested in words as I am and so they shrug off the question. — Bill.
Kids these days, eh? I was never very good at math until a moment in, I believe, tenth grade, when a very gifted math teacher was explaining a trigonometry problem to me.

I promptly forgot everything I had just learned and went on to relentlessly flunk math until they let me give up. To this day I am not allowed to play with my own checkbook.

One day in the spring of 2008 whilst I was living in England, an elderly friend who is originally from Germany and a Holocaust survivor telephoned me.

Working Paper 91
Seeing and doing: learning, resources and social networks below the radar
There is growing interest in social networks and their potential for helping us to understand development and change in communities. Equally, there has been substantial investment over the past decade in community capacity building aimed at enabling communities to have a voice in decision making processes, establishing independent organisations to meet local needs, or developing communities’ ability to manage local assets and services. These themes, of voluntary action, community organising and asset transfer, influence policy across both the New Labour and Coalition administrations.
Yet, little is known about how those active in small, below the radar, community groups gain the skills, knowledge and resources they need to meet their goals and objectives. The assumption which has underpinned ‘capacity building’ initiatives, and remains a core element of the Community Organisers Programme, has been | that skills are best developed through formal training and education.
This research shows that learning in below the radar community groups has less to do with formal training, and more to do with learning from similar groups and social networks. People learn by ‘seeing and doing’, and social networks are key to identifying and attracting the skills they need.
While it is often assumed that community groups need specialist technical skills to flourish, this research highlights the importance of interpersonal and transferrable skills gained | [

Other Types of Cancer
Cancer is a devastating reality for far too many Americans. However, statistics indicate that there is good news: according to the National Cancer Institute, death rates for the four most commonly diagnosed cancers – prostate, breast, colon and lung – continue to decrease. This can be contributed to a decline in the numbers of people who smoke cigarettes, as well as a number of other factors.
Despite this good news, the incidences of liver cancer, pancreas cancer, kidney cancer, esophageal cancer, and thyroid cancer unfortunately are on the rise. In addition, the number of individuals diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, and other childhood cancers are also increasing. In men specifically, rates of testicular cancer are on the rise, and, in women, melanoma (skin cancer), lung cancer, and brain and bladder cancer rates are also rising.
What Causes Cancer?
As you may know, there are a number of reasons why people develop cancer. Environmental factors, including exposure to certain toxins such as asbestos or radon, can lead to cancer. A family history of cancer (especially in women, who are far more likely to develop breast cancer if their mother, sister | or other female relative has suffered from the disease) can also lead to a diagnosis of cancer. Smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco for an extended period of time may also cause cancer, specifically lung cancer, throat or tongue cancer, and esophageal cancer. Frequent consumption of alcohol can lead to cancer of the liver or kidneys.
Many individuals are able to go into remission following cancer treatment and live healthy, cancer-free lives for many years. For example, women who detect their breast cancer early are very often able to enter remission and will not experience a reoccurrence | [

If so, the City of Alexandria and the Environmental Policy Commission invites you to the Environmental Action Plan Open House on Monday, November 17, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Lee Center, 1108 Jefferson St.
At the Open House, residents will have the opportunity to provide | feedback on the draft Environmental Action Plan being developed to fulfill the vision of the Eco-City Environmental Charter.

My father-in-law shot his first and only deer on his 83rd birthday. I'd built him a ground blind on our property earlier that summer.
He grew up in Southern Illinois trapping, hunting and fishing. He and his family lived through the Great Depression and they ate most everything that he caught or shot during that time.
Later, as a husband and father who worked hard both at his "city" job and on his farm, he did not have much time for recreational hunting but he never lost his taste for wild game and always enjoyed what I shared with him.
There were no deer in this part of the world when he was growing up and they were a source of great interest to him as an adult. When he decided he'd like to hunt them, I was more than happy to be of help.
His one and only deer was a 12 point buck | that was about 195 lbs. A deer of a lifetime for most folks. He never hunted deer again although like many of us, he enjoyed telling the story of the one that did not get away and showing visitiors the large rack from it. He passed away peacefully at the age of 91.
Today, I hunted from that same ground blind as I have for nearly all those years since I built it for him. It has a lot of memories for me. That's one reason I'm very content | [

Diversity (and Transition)
Joanne Poyourow, Transition United States
... At a time when we need to get the Transition message out to vast numbers of people, as quickly as possible, to get many people on board the preparation and the planning, we don't have time to do it all from scratch. Forming Transition groups based upon one or two initiators and building up to critical mass within a community could take years. And we don't have years. We need to tap into existing pools of people whom we can inform of the Transition concept, existing pools of people who | are already accustomed to working with each other -- which means we need to recognize and acknowledge them as existing pools of community.
I guess the take-home message here is: when you consider diversity, don't overlook faith communities. When you do local awareness-raising and networking, don't be afraid of churches and religious centers. Just because they haven't been the traditional realm of environmentalists doesn't mean they have any less need for -- or eagerness for -- Transition ideas. As Peter Rood | [

The West Coast rap legend’s son has just landed himself a three and a half year sentence.
Grtis Ivey will be serving a three and a half year prison sentence after agreeing to the terms of a plea agreement, resulting from a number of 2011 felony charges.
Despite the current sentence of three and half years, the 22 year old could still receive a ten year sentence.
According to TMZ, Coolio’s eldest son agreed to a plea deal earlier this week, which stemmed from a robbery felony charge. The requirements of the deal meant that the prosecution would drop the four remaining charges in exchange for a guilty plea for the robbery charge in question. The minimum prison sentence Grtis Ivey could receive is three and a half years, but a judge could potentially see fit to give him the maximum sentence of ten years behind bars.
Grtis Ivey has been in prison since mid-November 2011, when he was arrested for conducting an armed robbery with a Las Vegas prostitute. He and | Vegas hooker, Shantrice Wilkerson, burst into a man’s Vegas apartment and robbed the place whilst holding the owner at gunpoint. Ivey was held without bail.
Grtis Ivey will have to wait until September 12, 2012, for a formal sentence to be passed on this recent plea deal.

Hamas and Fatah in unity talks, says Khaled Meshaal
Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal has told the BBC he is in talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas about forming a national unity government.
Mr Meshaal also said preparations were being made for presidential and parliamentary elections.
The split between the militant group and Mr Abbas's Fatah party has led to Palestinian elections being postponed for several years.
Hamas controls Gaza while Fatah remains dominant in the West Bank.
In May 2011 the two Palestinian factions signed a reconciliation deal but it has not yet been implemented.
However, in recent months there have been signs of a closer relationship between the two.
"We are forging ahead with the reconciliation," Mr Meshaal told the BBC's Hardtalk programme.

Financial statements are the backbone of a complete financial report. In fact, a financial report is not complete if the three primary financial statements are not included. but a financial report is much more than just those statements. A financial report requires disclosures. This term refers to additional information provided in a financial report. Therefore, any comprehensive and ethical financial report must include not only the primary financial statements, but disclosures as well.
The chief executive of a business (usually the CEO in a publicly held corporation) has the primary responsibility to make sure that the financial statements have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the financial report provides adequate disclosures. He or she works with the chief financial officer or controller of the business to make sure that the financial report meets the standard of adequate disclosures.
Some common methods of disclosures include:
–Footnotes that provide information about the basic figures. Nearly all financial statements require footnotes to provide additional information for several of the account balances in the financial statements.
–Supplementary financial schedules and tables that provide more details than can be included in the body of the financial statements.
–Other information may be | required if the business is a public corporation subject to federal regulations regarding financial reporting to its stockholders. Other information is voluntary and not strictly required legally or according to GAAP.
Some disclosures are required by various governing boards and agencies. These include:
–The financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has designated many standards. Its dictate regarding disclosure of the effects of stock options is one such standard.
–The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mandates disclosure of a broad range of information for publicly held companies.

The Court has never said that Congress has unlimited authority to attach conditions to federal funding. Some federalism-based limits presumably remain, even after South Dakota v. Dole. Might there be some question whether aid to education justifies limits on non-educational uses of property? What if Justice O'Connor's dissent in Dole now represents the majority view?
Richard Duncan writes:

I know some argue that conservatives should have voted
against this bill based upon federalism concerns. But
it seems to me that once we | decide the feds have a
role in *funding* local education, we have lost our

funds and the strings attached to the funds.

Human growth hormone (HGH) is one among the many hormones your body naturally produces. HGH influences growth in that it helps encourage cell reproduction and regeneration. Athletes really like to pretend that HGH makes them more powerful. It might, but it probably doesn’t. Whether it works or not, athletes should be allowed to utilize it. But banning performance enhancers is a topic already covered, so let’s look at something more interesting.
As part of a thread called “The Bias Against Short Men,” Andrew Sullivan’s The Dish published an email by a reader struggling with a difficult question:
The doctor noticed that my son was comfortably sitting at the bottom of the growth chart and that he would most likely end up a measly 5’5” (a little more than my wife and myself). He went on to say that this could qualify as “idiopathic short stature syndrom.” And that we could potentially | get our son on HGH (actually, it’s called rGH I think – see here) if we felt that his projected short height could affect his self-confidence and ultimately, his mental health.
Unlike HGH in athletes, HGH used to treat medical conditions has clinically observable benefits. A child given HGH treatments will have an appreciable difference in height as an adult. The reader feels inclined to give his son the treatments, while the reader’s wife is appalled at the idea. When is it alright to use HGH to help your kid grow to a “normal” height?

Morphea is a skin condition that causes reddish or purplish patches on your skin. Morphea is a localized form of scleroderma, a condition that can cause a wide variety of problems, from skin discoloration to difficulty with the normal function of joints and muscles and other connective tissues. Morphea has no known cure. Treatment of morphea focuses on controlling the signs and symptoms and slowing | its spread.Because morphea may get better on its own without treatment, and most treatments have side effects, your doctor may suggest no treatment or treatment with a mild topical corticosteroid cream.

T.rex hunted like a lion, rather than regularly scavenging like a hyena, reveals new research published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The findings end a long-running debate about the hunting behaviour of this awesome predator.

Previous attempts to answer the question about T.rex's hunting behaviour have focused on its morphology | . The flaw in this approach is that two species can possess similar physical features and still have very different hunting strategies, such as vultures and eagles.

Schools in Galle, some in Colombo were closed today. The newspaper headlines did not, to the extend that I read them, show any methodical movement of people to higher ground and safe spaces. They showed people who were confused, running away with their belongings and praying in places of worship.
