This region's judiciary looked a lot different when Sandra Edwards-Stephens became a part of it.
This region's judiciary looked a lot different when Sandra Edwards-Stephens became a part of it.
In 1990, when she was elected as a Marion County judge, and in 2000, when she was appointed as a circuit judge in the 5th Judicial Circuit, she was the only black person holding either position and one of the few women.
Now, as she readies for retirement — Oct. 31 will be her last day on the bench — only one part of that picture has changed.
Edwards-Stephens will leave behind 30 circuit judges in the 5th, which covers Marion, Citrus, Lake, Sumter and Hernando counties.
Some of those circuit judges are women. But there are no other minority judges.
The story is the same for the 11 county judges in the circuit's five counties: Some women, but no minorities.
This has not escaped Edwards-Stephens' notice.
"I was very aware of that fact, but I knew it was time for me to go ahead and go over into another area of my life," she said.
Her position inside the Marion County Judicial Center will be filled by Circuit Judge Anthony Tatti, a former prosecutor and Ocala resident who is transferring in from Hernando County. The person appointed to replace Edwards-Stephens will likely take Tatti's place in Hernando.
Making the appointment will be Gov. Rick Scott. Helping him will be the 5th Judicial Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission, composed of laymen and attorneys.
The commission is scheduled to interview 22 applicants this upcoming week and get Scott its list of three to six nominees by Oct. 1.
But even if Scott appoints a minority to the bench — at least two of the 22 applicants are minorities, one African-American and one Hispanic — the racial diversity picture would be the same as it was in 1990.
Minority representation is evident in other parts of government within the circuit. In Marion County alone there are two black School Board members and a black Ocala City Council member. The former Ocala police chief is African-American.
But achieving racial diversity is tougher at the judicial level. To become a circuit judge — whether by election or appointment — a candidate must be an attorney in good standing who lives within the five counties.
As of Sept. 1 there were 1,201 lawyers in the circuit, according to the Florida Bar. Of the 72 percent who listed their race, 93 percent are white, 2.5 percent African-American, 3 percent Hispanic and 1 percent other, which includes Asian, American Indian and Pacific Islander.
"I certainly think diversity on the bench is a good thing, and I think as time goes by you will see that" improve, said the circuit's chief judge, Don Briggs, who sits in Lake County.
Overall, the black population in the five counties varies: Marion has 13 percent, Lake, 10.5 percent; Hernando, 5.5 percent; Sumter, 9 percent; and Citrus, 3 percent, according to census data.
Some members of the black community who were interviewed for this story hope the final list the governor receives includes qualified minority candidates. But Derek Schroth, chair of the nominating commission, pointed out that race is not included on the lengthy qualification list.
"The guidelines do not have any preferential treatment," he said. "It's race-neutral."
To be qualified, applicants must be members in good standing of the Florida Bar for five years, registered voters, and residents of the circuit. In addition, the nomination committee will consider the candidate's standing in the community, commitment to equal justice, knowledge of the law, professional reputation, and knowledge of and experience in the court.
"We look at that criteria and hopefully a minority candidate meets that criteria, and if so (that name or names) would certainly be sent up for consideration by the governor," said Schroth.
He said the only way to ensure minority candidates are represented on the final nomination list would be to enact a type of affirmative action process. But courts have ruled against such moves.
One of the minority applicants is LeAnn Barnes, an assistant public defender and division chief for the misdemeanor and juvenile divisions.
Barnes, who is black, ran for a Marion County judge position in 2012 but lost to Tommy Thompson.
"I had no regrets about what I did," said Barnes, calling it an experience like no other. She took almost 41 percent of the vote.
Barnes said she looks forward to her interview with the nominating commission and hopes a qualified minority candidate replaces Edwards-Stephens.
"My experience is she's stern and she knows the law and I was inspired from her," Barnes said. "There's always a need for diversity. We can learn from everybody. I think everybody's different."
Barnes said she does think race plays a factor and said she has to prove herself more because she is a minority.
She hopes the most qualified candidate also reflects the community's diversity, and said even if she doesn't prevail this time, she won't stop trying.
Scott came under criticism in January from black lawmakers for not appointing as many minority candidates to the bench as his predecessors did.
In eight years, Gov. Jeb Bush appointed a total of 416 judges, including 52 Hispanics, one Asian/other and 41 African-Americans.
In four years, Gov. Charlie Crist appointed 180 judges, including 16 Hispanics, two Asian/other and 15 African-Americans.
During his two years in office, Scott so far has appointed 121 judges, including 13 Hispanics, two Asian/other and six African-Americans.
"There's a sentiment in the black community that we need not apply because we don't think like you," state Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, said during a January roundtable meeting with Scott, who is a Republican.
Rouson was responding to a comment from Scott that he would only appoint judges with a conservative thought process, according to Rouson's legislative assistant, Barclay Harless.
"Governor Scott appoints the most qualified candidate who will follow the rule of law from nominees provided by the Judicial Nominating Commission," said John Tupps, spokesman for Scott.
Briggs also noted that no governor alone is responsible for the makeup of the judiciary. Some judges are elected outright, and even appointed judges must stand for re-election every six years.
The person Scott picks to replace Edwards-Stephens will come up for re-election in 2014, which is when Edwards-Stephens was due to be back on the ballot.
When Marion County NAACP President Loretta Jenkins was asked if she had lobbied the nominating commission to consider minority applicants, she admitted to being unaware the interviews would be held this upcoming week. However, she said her organization would become active in pushing for a minority candidate.
She noted the low number of black lawyers in this area and said the NAACP is trying to educate the younger generation about all the possible job opportunities open to them.
"They have to be motivated within themselves to want to be a servant," she said.
The issue of minority representation in the judiciary is discussed beyond the 5th Judicial Circuit.
"I think the judiciary nationwide, whether you are taking about at the state or at the federal level, doesn't reflect the diversity of the general population," said Judith Scully, a Stetson University law professor.
She said 24 state supreme courts are all white, and two top courts are all male.
"That shows me there's a problem nationwide," she said.
Race, age, economic status, gender, sexual orientation and professional background are all areas that could be taken into consideration for potential candidates, Scully said.
"This issue of diversity is more important, not just in terms of a head count, but in building trust in the community, as well," she said.
Several weeks ago, attorneys defending Michael Woods, 30, in one of his first-degree murder cases argued that prosecutors in the 5th Judicial Circuit disproportionately sought capital punishment against minority defendants.
Prosecutors disagreed. But to support its theory that Woods faced a discriminatory system, the defense presented testimony from author Marvin Dunn, whose books include "The Beast in Florida: A History of Anti-Black Violence."
"The impact of race can be seen in both schools and court," Dunn testified, explaining there should be more minorities serving on the bench.
Dunn said racism was still alive in Florida and said education is key to eradicating these feelings.
One of Woods' defense attorneys, Terence Lenamon, said there is likely a qualified female black candidate who could do the job and that he believes it would be fitting for such a candidate to be appointed to replace Edwards-Stephens.
"I think, it certainly concerns me, if you see a historical pattern that the jurisdiction is not being diverse in its placement of judges," Lenamon said.
When she was asked if diversity should be an important quality for selection of a judge, Edwards-Stephens referred to the inclusive nature of American society.
"Why should it (diversity) not be?" she asked.

Left : Sam enjoying her mac n'cheese b-day lunch... a lot!
Jill made all of the fondant farm animals early in the week - here is their dog, Casey.
She made piggies, ducks, bumble bees, sheep...
A cow, a chicken/rooster...
Her husband made the lady bug. She said they were a lot easier to make than she'd anticipated - working with the fondant was so forgiving.
I like the 'Momma & Baby' sets she made like this pig and piglet.
She assembled the cake the night before (having baked the actual cakes earlier in the day). Here she is applying the buttercream layer that goes under the fondant.
She mixed color into the fondant to create a green field.
She rolled out the fondant on this mat that helped her to measure how big it should be. She used powdered sugar to keep it from sticking.
She trimmed it with a knife.
We made a little lake for the ducks to swim and 'dirt' out of oreos for the pigs.
Close up of the grass.
For the party, Jill picked up some farm balloons - Sam loved them.
Jill made Sam a mini cake to devour. She was a pro.
I think she had be practicing.
Happy Birthday, Sam!

Finally I am putting down to paper my marathon race list for this season. Some of my favorite races are Hurricane Half Marathon, HobbleCreek Half Marathon, Top of Utah Half Marathon, Top of Utah Marathon, St. George Marathon, and the Deseret News (Pioneer Days) Marathon. My normal season would have included all of those races. This year I already missed the Hurrican Half (it used to be a late summer race and now is in the Spring). I also find it unlikely to do the Deseret News Marathon.
That leaves me with TOU Half, TOU, St George, and Hobblecreek from my favorites list.
The Dates for these races are:
HobbleCreek – Aug. 21, 2010
TOU Half – Aug. 28, 2010
TOU – Sep. 18, 2010
St. George – Oct. 2, 2010 (subject to lottery).
One more race that I would like to do is the Tucson Marathon. It is Dec. 12, 2010. I would like to do this one, but may have to find a Marathon either further out in the year or one closer to home (like the LV Marathon).
I am not sure about the week separation for HobbleCreek and TOU/2 – especially with travel involved. However, these are great races and I really would love to get back to doing them.
My goals are still to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I would like to do that this year.
There is one more Marathon I haven't done that I am considering. They have a full and a half and it is in Mesquite Nevada. This marathon used to be called the Tri-State Marathon due to the course. It has been re-branded as the Mesquite Marathon. This one will be held November 20, 2010 which works well with my schedule.

Do you know anyone who hasn't played Angry Birds? I'm finding it hard to locate someone that hasn't, and even harder to find someone who doesn't recognize the name at least.
Like it or not, Angry Birds is uber-popular with casual gamers, but those who are veteran players may be getting a bit tired of the mechanics in the run up to the launch of Angry Birds Space. Fear not, there is a solution that requires a new skill for playing the game, and it comes courtesy of mbed who specialize in rapid prototyping with microcontrollers.
A company that sells microcontrollers and supporting software is obviously going to come up with a physical addition for the game, and mbed haven't disappointed. They've managed to build a real slingshot that interfaces with the game over a USB connection.
The finished slingshot is recognized by a PC as a mouse. In reality, it takes the input of pulling back the real slingshot using a rubber stretch sensor and translates it into the expected mouse input. The angle of the shot is controlled by an accelerometer and all depends on the angle the slingshot is held at by the player.
The accelerometer and stretch sensors are hooked up to an mbed NXP LPC11U24 board that uses a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 Core. A USB connector is then attached to allow connection with a PC. All supporting code for the project was written in C++.
Of course, it wouldn't be a proper slingshot without being handcrafted from a piece of wood. mbed selected an appropriate branch and bored out the insides so as to fit the electronics and USB connector. I think you'll agree, the finished slingshot certainly looks the part.
The good news is, there's nothing to stop you making this slingshot for yourself. All the components are widely available and relatively cheap to buy, and mbed have released instructions and code for creating their prototype at the link below.

Everyone knows it's far easier to criticize than to propose constructive solutions. Predictably, former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. provides a lengthy list of problems with the Affordable Care Act but no solutions ("Obamacare hurts more than helps," March 16).
Governor Ehrlich, exactly how would you (and the Republican Party) fix the least effective and most expensive health care system in the world? The silence is deafening.

Posted on 16th July 2013 by Media Relations
At just over one year old, Lima the Siamang Ape is becoming quite independent for his age. For the early years of their lives, baby Siamangs are very dependent on their parents, mum especially. For the first eight months or so, a baby will not leave its mother's side, constantly clinging to her belly so she can take him wherever she goes.As the months go by, a Siamang Ape baby will slowly become more confident and adventurous, and that is exactly what little Lima is up to nowadays. He can be seen climbing and swinging on the smaller ropes to test his strength, and venturing away from mum Puteri, although she rarely lets him out of her sight. The only time you will see him clinging to her is to hitch a ride across the water, or early in the morning when it's too cold on his own.Once he reaches 18 months of age, father Saudara will start to play a larger role, teaching him the skills and techniques he will need as an adult. For the moment, adulthood is still a number of years away, and in the meantime Lima can be seen play-wrestling with his parents and climbing higher every day.By Keeper, Sasha Brook

Day's best: George W. Bush's AIDS activism
Say what you will about George W. Bush's presidency — and many of you have — you have to admire the former president's continued dedication to bringing life-extending medical treatment to those afflicted with HIV/AIDS in Africa.
We carried a piece in the Post today by Bush that spoke to his continuing efforts to build support for bringing antiretroviral AIDS drugs to people living in sub-Saharan Africa.
He and former First Lady Laura Bush, in partnership with other public and private organizations, also are working to save African women from breast and cervical cancer through an organization called Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon.
It's heartening to see a former president use the prestige of his position and his spectrum of contacts to bring positive change to a part of the world that can really use a helping hand.

Pope Urban VIII (16231644) was a Florentine named Maffeo Barberini, born on 1568 and successor of Gregory XV. Throughout his pontificate the Thirty Years War raged in Germany. For various political reasons, Urban gave little help to the Catholics. The old story that Urban rejoiced at Protestant victories because he hated the Hapsburgs is, however, false. His policy in Italy was unsuccessful, and he was humiliated by defeat at the hands of the Farnese of Parma.
Urban was very active in church affairs: he published the revised
breviary, normalized liturgical practice, canonized many saints,
instituted new orders, and continued the reformation of the church. He
built and decorated extensively in Rome. Urban sanctioned the second
condemnation of Galileo for his support of the Copernican theory that
placed the sun, rather than the earth, at the center of the universe, but
later freed him. He condemned the posthumous work of Cornelis Jansen,
Augustinus. Urbans strict legislation against easy acceptance of
miracles is still in effect. He was succeeded by Innocent X.

Just to be crude, and because we can't imagine you can look at Tiger Woods that much longer, we decided to toss out a little bon mot for you: A top 10 list of female streakers at British sporting events. (Link NSFW)
We find it interesting that this never happens at American sporting events, and we're not sure it's just our bent toward puritanism. These days, anyone even thinking about running on the field is psychologically profiled — thanks to the chips They implanted in our brains at birth — and, if they happen to be at Yankee Stadium, shot on sight.
This, of course, got us thinking about Morganna. She's retired now — which is probably for the best, considering she's 52 years old — and lives, inevitably, in Columbus, Ohio.

Research and Resources for Family Caregivers
Family caregivers take on so much – from cooking and cleaning to managing medications, looking after finances, and providing transportation to doctor appointments. Doing it all for someone you love can be beautiful and fulfilling, and also draining and guilt-inducing.
As America's population ages and the number of those with severe health issues increases, more family caregivers will find themselves in similar situations. But to ensure proper care for aging seniors, new research finds that family caregivers also need to take proper care of themselves.
The average number of hours per week a spouse/partner spends caring for their loved one.
SOURCE: Caregiving in the U.S., 2015 Report; AARP
Age and Emotional Well-Being: The Varied Emotional Experience of Family Caregivers, is a research study conducted by the Stanford Center on Longevity and the Stanford University Psychology Department that found family caregivers – older ones especially - run the risk of poor well-being and depression when they take on the job of caring for a severely ill loved one. This may be because their social relationships suffer too, which are important for their well-being.
Comfort Keepers® collaborated with Stanford and the home care services software company ClearCare to survey 2,000 adults who had hired a Comfort Keepers caregiver to help an ailing relative. The survey found that family caregivers caring for a severely ill loved one often experienced social isolation and negative impacts to their emotional wellbeing.

Holocaust Reconciliation Applied to Middle East
Israeli psychologist
It was in 1992 that the first meeting of his group "TRT—To Reflect and Trust" took place, in which the children and grandchildren of Holocaust victims and perpetrators met face to face in an attempt to bring them closer together.
Dan Bar-On has applied what he's learnt and the methods he's developed to the dialogue between Palestinians and Israelis.
A model which could be useful in the Middle East dialogue
"When I look at both sides," says Bar-On, "the Israeli and the Palestinian, I believe that what we need at the moment is a period with a two-state solution, even if it is contrary to any logic. Perhaps we only need it for fifty years, not longer. Unfortunately, from a psychological point of view, we will need two generations in which we'll have to get rid of the damage, each for him- or herself, which has been caused by the conflict over so many years."
Bar-On does not believe that, from one day to next, people will be able to accept ideas like the creation of a federal state, or that the Jews of Israel would be able to accept the idea of an Arab prime minister. But perhaps in fifty years.
Bar-On explains: "We have certain fixed images of the world in our minds which we use to help us understand and be aware of the world. That way we can deal more easily with insecurity and uncertainties. But when the world changes and our images of the world are no longer relevant, then they don't just disappear on their own. We have to work at it, and that can be a painful process."
Holocaust has an effect right up to the 3rd generation
Relearning and rethinking may be a recipe for living together better – but how does one go about it? Dan Bar-On's work is best located at the crossroads between historical research and depth psychology. It leads to the realisation that there are additional technical terms which every therapist in Israel has to adopt.
In addition to terms like child abuse or loveless parents, therapists have to deal with Holocaust, diapora and war. The experiences of grandparents and parents are handed down together with a bundle of partly digested anxieties. Bar-On's conclusion after years of work with the children and grandchildren of Holocaust victims and perpetrators is that the Holocaust continues to have an effect, all the way to the third generation.
Bar-On wants to help people to "work their way through the Holocaust." They should understand "that not everything which was important back then is still important—that what happened in Europe in the forties doesn't necessarily have a role in the Middle East in 2004.
"One shouldn't either ignore or forget the past. But on the other hand one shouldn't relive the entire past every time there's a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv."
New target groups
"To Reflect and Trust"—that doesn't automatically mean reconciliation. But it can mean becoming aware of one's own anxieties and motivation as well as those of the other side, thus helping to build up trust.
The recipe seems astonishingly simple: one side relates their personal experience in detail, the other side listens, reacts and responds to what is being said.
It only took a few years before the TRT group began to attract people from other conflict regions, such as South Africa and Northern Ireland. Palestinians were invited to the group under a project run jointly with the Palestinian academic Sami Adwan.
First make sure your own identity is secure
In the course of the work with Israelis and Palestinians, it became clear once more how important it is for the dialogue, that each side first tries to work out for itself what the basis of its own position is.
According to Bar-On, "When students from both sides—Israelis and Palestinians—meet, they first spend a long time arguing about who's right, what exactly happened in the history of the conflict, or which side is really the victim."
"In such cases, where people are still so insecure in their own identity, you have to give them first a feeling of security about their own lives and futures and about how they deal with the issues of their own identity." Only when that's achieved can Bar-On require of them that they start dealing with the other side.
And here too the stories which have never been dealt with play a role: the "childhood trauma" of Israeli society is set against the Pallestinian trauma of flight and deracination following the war of 1948.
A new schoolbook for the Middle East
The experience of these expanded TRT groups led to the idea of creating a more ambitious project, "Learning from the history of the other." The idea was received well, and a schoolbook has been developed for both Israelis and Palestinians telling the story of the Middle East conflict in a new way.
Each page of the book is divided into three columns. In one is the Israeli story of the conflict, in the second the Palestinian, and in between an empty lined column for readers to write in their own version of the story.
Bar-On says it's not yet time for a common history. It may take fifty years before people start looking away from their own column to the column on the other side and the space is middle is filled with a new personal history.

This is it! Student unions that are taking part in CLASSE (Coalition large de l'ASSÉ—an ad hoc coalition built around the ASSÉ group of student unions but extending beyond the actual members of ASSÉ) have now reached the floor that had been determined for the unlimited general strike to take effect. As of the writing of this post, 18 student unions on 5 campuses representing around 20 210 students have obtained unlimited general strike mandates.
Strike mandates votes will continue to be held in other student unions in the coming days and weeks.
FECQ- and FEUQ-affiliated student unions are also contemplating the general strike option.
In fact, the mechanics of the strike are very similar to what happened in 2005, when a massive strike took place to protest cuts of $103 million in the Grants and Loans program: a group coalesced around the ASSÉ (then named the CASSÉÉ) took the initiative and FECQ- and FEUQ-affiliated unions gradually joined the movement. Even the timeframe is similar: the strike started on February 24 in 2005.
Some student unions might be beginning the strike as soon as next Monday.

STOCKTON - A new lead on an old case led investigators to a home in Manteca, where authorities spent hours Thursday digging up what may be the remains of a woman who disappeared in 1990, police said.
STOCKTON - A new lead on an old case led investigators to a home in Manteca, where authorities spent hours Thursday digging up what may be the remains of a woman who disappeared in 1990, police said.
Evidence recovered from a home in the 400 block of Park Avenue was turned over to the San Joaquin County Coroner's Office for analysis, said Officer Joseph Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
Investigators went to the home after receiving a tip about a 1990 missing-person's case, Silva said. Rene Smith, a neighbor who worked as a coroner's investigator for 15 years, said police removed what appeared to be a human torso, but Silva would not say whether authorities believe they unearthed human remains.
"They located a piece of evidence that they had to collect to determine exactly what it is, but we can't speculate until we know for sure," Silva said.
A search of The Record's archives turned up only one unsolved missing-person's case from 1990. Karen Michelle Sterzl was last seen Dec. 22, 1990, in Stockton at a Tuleburg Levee houseboat she shared with her boyfriend.
At the time, the 36-year-old woman's boyfriend said Sterzl told him she and her mother were going to Montana to visit her sister and planned to return New Year's Day. The man reported Sterzl missing Jan. 11, 1991.
Sterzl's mother told authorities she had not heard from her daughter in a month and had not planned a trip with her. Police said they found vehicles belonging to Sterzl in their usual parking spaces.
The case has remained unsolved for more than 22 years, but investigators may be on the verge of solving it.
"Our investigators follow up on tips that come in from the public daily," Silva said. "This tip was pretty credible, and because of that tip, we were able to collect potential evidence that might eventually solve this case."
Record librarian Delailah Little contributed to this report.

Lost amid most of the talk about the Ravens' overhaul of their Super Bowl-winning defense is the fact that during the regular season, last year's group was serviceable on its best days and extremely vulnerable on its worst.
Before keeping Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts out of the end zone in the wild-card round, before forcing three Peyton Manning turnovers in the divisional playoff matchup, before holding Tom Brady and the New England Patriots scoreless for the second half of the AFC championship game and before a late goal-line stand against the Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers secured a victory in Super Bowl XLVII, the Ravens defense ranked just 17th in the NFL during the regular season.
The 350.9 yards the Ravens allowed per game was the second highest total in franchise history, beating only the inaugural 1996 team, which allowed 368.1 yards per game and ranked 30thin the NFL. Against the run, long one of the team's strengths, the Ravens surrendered a franchise-worst 122.8 yards per game. The 228.1 passing yards the Ravens allowed per contest was also the second highest total in franchise history.
Gone from that group are linebackers Ray Lewis, Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger, cornerback Cary Williams and safeties Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard.
In are linebackers Elvis Dumervil and Arthur Brown, defensive linemen Chris Canty, Marcus Spears and Brandon Williams and safeties Michael Huff and Matt Elam, along with the inevitable questions about whether the team's current defense will be better than its former one.
"I would never compare it," defensive coordinator Dean Pees said yesterday. "I can tell you that after the 16th game of the season next year. It's really always unfair to say ahead of time what the defense is going to be. We have to be better than we were last year. We were good in the playoffs – good enough – but we weren't good enough during the season for us to be the kind of defense that we want to be. We have to be better than we were a year ago, I'll put it that way. I don't know whether we will be, but we need to be."
Following the end of the second of three weeks of organized team activities, Pees seemed pleased with what he has seen so far. His current defense is certainly much younger as the four oldest members of last year's defense – Lewis, reserve linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo, Reed and nose tackle Ma'ake Kemoeatu – are no longer on the roster.
That's expected to translate into the Ravens being a much quicker defense though that remains a work-in progress, according to Pees.
"Sometimes it looks faster in certain situations. Sometimes it looks a little slower, because if a guy doesn't exactly know the defense real well, he might be a little hesitant, because he's trying to think what he is supposed to be doing and sometimes that makes him look slower," Pees said. "If it's something that we have been doing here for the whole football school and football OTAs, if it's something that they really know well, yes, it seems like it goes pretty fast. But there are also times when it looks pretty slow to me when guys don't exactly know what to do."
Pees reiterated that the team will miss all the players that it lost this offseason but he expects new standouts to emerge.
"Somebody will step up, somebody always does and they have to," he said. "But on the other hand, guys are learning and coaches are coaching their rear ends off to get everybody on the same page. The other point of it is kind of as a coach, you take nothing for granted right now. As a coach, you really have to coach everything, because you are coaching new guys in that position. It's not like, 'Oh yeah, I know Ray knows how to do this. I know [Jarret Johnson] knows how to do it. I don't have to spend a lot of time telling them.' Now, we do. We have to be a little more specific and a little bit more detailed as coaches."

Free World U
I am a retired physician and I devote all of my time and money to providing free education to the world. I believe it is the most efficient way to attack the rampant social dysfunction that we see in the world today. The delivery system is inefficient and the curriculum is often irrelevant. We offer such things as interpersonal relationships, healthy family life, entrepreneurship, and a whole host of things that are essential for successful living. Soon we will have an add-on for an accredited high school diploma. You can see what we have done at http://www.freeworldu.org.
All ages. Students that are able to use computers through 12th grade and their parents. Homeschooling is growing at the rate of 30% annually and will be the predominant modality at the end of this decade.
We want the design to be simple and easy to follow. Users often have a 5 second attention span. We have tried to answer the questions most often asked on the home page. We will be adding a movie as well as a blue button containing the words "Register Now." We like our current color scheme. Feel free to propose an alternate logo. We may change our current motto from "Global education is in the cards" to simply "a pre-K-12 accredited online school." We find that the challenge is to have a very clean design and still answer their questions. If we put too much information on the homepage is too busy. If we don't put enough, we haven't answered their questions. I am sure that you have dealt with this before and have come up with solutions. Above all, the site should convey professionalism and trustworthiness. Within a short time we will have two versions of the program. The free version will offer the flashcard training program. For $90 a month or less if they apply for financial aid, they will get a teacher, a transcript, administrative reports, a parent-teacher dashboard, tests, and an engraved high school diploma.There are two places in the site that students will access more than any other: Flashcards, and Last Viewed. Flashcards takes you to the flashcard index. Last viewed takes you to the last viewed flashcard since it remembers you as an individual student. So these buttons shouldn't be hard to find.
The home page plus logo in 1024x768 resolution.
http://www.freeworldu.org We like the color scheme and the fact that it answers the most frequently asked questions. We would like it to be more eye-catching and convey more professionalism.

BISMARCK, N.D. — Officials in North Dakota are reporting what may be the state's biggest incident of illegal dumping of radioactive oil filter socks, the nets that strain liquids during the oil production process.
State Waste Management Director Scott Radig said hundreds of the tubular filters were discovered last week in an abandoned building in Noonan, a town of about 200 people in northwestern North Dakota. Radig, who viewed pictures of the scene, said it's likely to be more than twice as large as the state's next-largest dumping incident found last month in McKenzie County.
"It appears, unfortunately, to be the biggest one we've found," Radig said. "And it appears to have been there for quite some time."
Filter socks, which can become contaminated with naturally occurring radiation, are banned for disposal in North Dakota. Oil companies are supposed to haul them to approved waste facilities in other states such as Montana, Colorado and Idaho, which allow a higher level of radioactivity in their landfills.
State regulators and law enforcement officials are investigating, Radig said. He said the filter socks found in Noonan have been tested, and show low levels of radioactivity.
"The public is not at risk as long as people don't break into the building and start handling them," Radig said.
Health officials say that since the state's oil production has soared in the past several years, radioactive filter socks increasingly are being found along roadsides, in abandoned buildings or in commercial trash bins of an unsuspecting business - sometimes that of a competing oil company.
Divide County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Rob Melby said there were "piles and piles" of filter socks scattered through a 4,000-square-foot building that once housed an auto shop.
"They're piled up waist deep or higher," he said. "There's a lot of stuff in there."
Deputy Zach Schroeder said he counted more than 200 trash bags of 55 gallons each filled with the filter socks.
Schroeder said authorities have no leads on who may have left the filters in the building. He said the building's owner was charged with felony larceny in an unrelated incident and has yet to be located.
"He is a fugitive," Schroeder said.
You have free articles remaining.
Noonan Mayor Cyndie Fagerbakke said she and most other residents in town are "disgusted" with whoever dumped the radioactive waste in the building, which sits derelict about a block from downtown.
"This is blatant disregard of the health and welfare of our community," she said. "It's criminal and the people responsible should be punished very, very stringently."
Fagerbakke said the old auto garage has changed hands many times over the years.
She called the state's lack of oversight of oil field waste "ludicrous."
"I'm not at all happy about how the state regulates these radioactive filter socks," said Fagerbakke, a farmer. "Why isn't the state more on top of this and why don't they have a more stringent plan for getting rid of this stuff?"
The state Health Department, in response to the growing number of illegally tossed filter socks, announced last week that new rules are being written to track oil field waste. A draft of the new rules is slated for public review in June.
That's little salve for residents in Noonan, who only have been instructed to stay away from the radioactive site on the edge of town, Fagerbakke said. No one has been told when the site will be cleaned up or who will handle it, she said.
"This is a risk to the city, but the state says it's somebody else's problem," the mayor said.
Each of the filter socks is more than two feet long and about eight inches in diameter. Some of them have serial numbers on them, but Radig said it's not possible to track the owners from that information.
"If we ultimately don't find the responsible party, the property owner is responsible," Radig said.
If the property owner cannot be located, the site may be eligible for cleanup under an abandoned well site reclamation fund, paid for with oil company fees, he said.

I have created a program that first sorts a series of numbers that are input dynamically then an option is given to either use a sequential search or a Binary search. my sequential search works fine but the merge sort coupled with the binary search has a small bug that I just can't seem to figure how to eliminate. I first used my own merge sort but it was really in efficient so a I took a more effient example and incorporated it in my program but I cant seem to get rid of this bug I'm dealing with. and it seems to be causing a futher problem with the Binary seach. I have entered the ful code (sorry about the length) and I'm hoping anybody can lead me in the right direction towards fixing this.
here's my code

Hi guys,
I am here at a mate's pc, and looking at his security on here, and I notice he has another user account on here which is no longer used. I tried to look for the disable box like you get on windows 2000 but could only find delete account. When I questioned him about it, he said that all files on that account can go, but when I tried to delete it, it just hung.
How can I delete this account, or at least disable it? Is this a commonly known issue.

Aisha Price had four scores and two steals to earn match MVP honors (Justine Agaloos).
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Harvard women's water polo team withstood a furious comeback attempt by George Washington to prevail over the Colonials, 11-9, and advance to the Collegiate Water Polo Association fifth-place game Sunday afternoon at Canham Natatorium.
The Crimson, who trailed only once the entire contest, held off a five-goal surge in the fourth quarter by George Washington to hang on for the win and advance to the fifth-place game for the fifth time in program history. The victory was also Harvard's 18th of the season, which is a new best under third-year head coach Ted Minnis.
Aisha Price paced the Harvard offense with four goals and an assist, while her sister, Shayna, netted two goals and one assist. Victoria Frager also contributed two goals, and freshmen Yoshi Andersen and Charlotte Hendrix both delivered a score and a helper. Kalina Grabb rounded out the scoring with a single tally.
George Washington claimed an early lead 33 seconds into the contest, but the Crimson responded with goals by Andersen and a penalty shot by Shayna Price to take the lead. The Colonials answered and evened the score back up before Hendrix found the back of the net 17 seconds later with her only marker of the game. Shayna Price stretched the lead to two with 1:52 remaining in the first only to see George Washington close the gap back to one with 39 seconds remaining in the opening stanza.
Aisha Price accounted for all of Harvard's offense in the second quarter, tallying three goals in the quarter to extend the advantage to 7-4 at the break. .
After the intermission, the Crimson maintained the momentum, as Aisha Price scored her fourth consecutive goal, and Frager netted both of hers to mark a string of five unanswered goals by Harvard to extend the lead to six with only eight minutes remaining.
Harvard continued to extend the lead in the fourth, as Grabb found the back of the net with 6:58 remaining in the game to make it 11-4. George Washington scored 37 seconds later to snap a 16:33 scoring draught, but it wasn't to close the gap despite four more tallies in the quarter.
Ariel Dukes was outstanding in goal for Harvard, recording 14 saves and a steal. Aisha Price and Hendrix both added two thefts of their own, as the Crimson finished with eight on the afternoon.
Harvard faces Brown to conclude its 2013 season at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in Ann Arbor.

Team RACE Pro Reports from Joe Martin
By Mark Walters
Today's stage (Friday) took the peloton from Fayetteville to the Ozark Mountains and back. After yesterday's uphill time trial, which was won by Health-Net's Rory Sutherland, the race was controlled most of the day by team Health-Net. A strong TT result by Dustin MacBurnie (12th), Joel Poitras (13th) and Dan Timmerman (21st), gave Team RACE Pro some good GC positions to protect, but also a good excuse to attack in the hope of improving their GC positions; or go for a stage win.
An early break formed quickly and Health-Net controlled the gap at two to three minutes, until about 50 km to go, when the break started crack just before the climb. As soon as the road turned up, the attacks started. I felt strong covering the first attacks and continued attacking most of the way up the climb, splitting off the front two times, in groups that were both caught. In the last kilometre before the summit, a larger group escaped that included Team RACE Pro's Dan Timmerman and Dustin MacBurnie. They got up to 45 seconds, but team Jelly Belly missed the move and brought it back.
As the break was being caught, Dan Timmerman attacked with Richard England (Bissell Pro) and John Fredy Parra (Toshiba-Santo). The trio stayed away until four or five kilometres to go until they were caught by the Health-Net chase. Meanwhile the rest of Team RACE Pro worked hard protecting me and Dustin for the sprint. I was really proud of all the guys today, because they all rode really strong at the end and I have rarely had so much help in a lead out for a bunch sprint. They rode like a top professional team, not like a small underdog team.
The sprint went pretty well for me. In the last kilometre I had good legs because of the efforts of Team RACE Pro and finished 8th on the stage. Not bad for a non-bunch sprinter. Dustin, Joël and Dan all finished at "same time" safely in the bunch and maintained their GC positions.
Tomorrow (Saturday) is another road race (145km) with three circuits at the end. It will be a little less hilly than today. In past years this stage has finished in a bunch sprint. Team RACE Pro will be looking to form a break for a better shot at a stage win. If it's a sprint I'll try to pretend I'm a bunch sprinter again and hopefully improve on today's result.

peer reviewedaudience: researcher, professional, studentSpace electronic systems employ enclosures to shield sensitive components from space radiation. The purpose of shielding is to attenuate the energy and the flux of ionizing radiation as they pass through the shield material, such that the energy per unit mass (or dose) absorbed in silicon is sufficiently below the maximum dose ratings of electronic components. The received radiation amount varies significantly depending on several variables that include mission parameters (orbit, altitude, inclination and duration), spacecraft design (spacecraft wall thickness and panel-enclosure location). To achieve the optimum shielding with the minimum weight, all these variables have to be considered in the design. Energetic particles, mainly electrons and protons, can destroy or cause malfunctions in spacecraft electronics. The standard practice in space hardware is the use of aluminium as both a radiation shield and structural enclosure. Composite structures show potential for significant mass savings. However, conventional graphite epoxy composites are not as efficient shielding materials as aluminium because of their lower density, that is, for the same mass, composites provide 30 to 40% less radiation attenuation than aluminium. A solution is to embed high density (atomic weight) material into the laminate. This material, typically metallic material, can be dispersed in the composite or used as layers in the laminate (foils). The main objective of the "Radiation Shielding of Composite Space Enclosures" (SIDER) project is the development of the technologies and tools required to obtain lightweight, safe, robust and reliable composite structures. Two different strategies are being analysed as alternatives for radiation shielding: and he incorporation of a high density material foil. This paper will present and analyse the radiation shielding obtained by the incorporation of nanomaterials in composite structures

Sean Penn, arguably the greatest actor of his generation, has spent nearly three decades playing surfers, crooks, rats, thugs, soldiers, guitarists and a couple politicians. Now it appears he's finally getting serious about his craft, having returned to the role in "Three Stooges" that he vacated last year.
"We got him back," Bobby Farrelly told the Boston Herald. "He always said he wanted to do it after, you know, taking care of his family."
Apparently, by "taking care of his family" Penn meant putting it to rest. In June he backed out of the project saying he needed to focus on his marriage to Robin Wright, which was in peril yet again. Ow well...
U.S. & World
The important thing is that Penn's back on board and Benicio Del Toro is still interested in playing Moe. Now we just need a Curly and we'll be good to go. Jim Carrey has been said to be interested, but how about Michael Chiklis? He's fat and bald and played the role in a 2000 TV movie.

WALTHAM, Mass.- In their final game of the University Athletic Association (UAA) Tournament in Sanford, Florida, the Brandeis baseball team fell to the Case Western Reserve Spartans 9-1. The Judges were led by senior 2B Sean O'Hare (Southampton, Mass./ Hampshire Reg.) and starting pitcher Pat Nicholson (Walpole, Mass./ Walpole) who each went 2-3 in the contest. Brandeis was also received help from the bullpen when senior Alex Tynan (Barnegat, N.J./ Barnegat) pitched three shutout innings. The Judges record dropped to 5-10 (1-7 UAA) while the Spartans improved to 10-5 (4-3 UAA).
Brandeis jumped out to an early lead in the top of the first when O'Hare led off with a single. Despite a fielder's choice that resulted in an out at second, a balk left a runner in scoring position. After a groundout, rookie 1B Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./ St. Peter-Marian) delivered with a two out single, scoring classmate DH Zach Bardwell (No. Andover, Mass./ Central Catholic). Unfortunately, Case jumped on the Judges starter Nicholson for seven runs in the first two innings and Brandeis could not mount a comeback.
The Judges accumulated nine hits on the afternoon, seven different players contributed to the effort. O'Hare and Nicholson led the team with two hits each. When rookie Rob Trenk (West Orange, N.J./ West Orange) pinch hit in the top of the second inning, he earned his first career hit with a single. Classmate Brian Allen (Salem, N.H./ Central Catholic) also connected on his first career hit on his only at bat when he led off the top of the ninth with a single. In his longest appearance of the season, rookie Brent Edmunds (No. Hampton, N.H./ Winnacunnet) pitched two solid innings in relief while Tynan followed with three shutout innings of two hit ball.
Brandeis returns home this week to face Bridgewater State on Tuesday, March 20th with first pitch at 3:00 p.m.
