Repeal right call in Montville
In a victory for common sense, the Montville Town Council this week voted to repeal two ill-conceived ordinances that placed restrictions on where registered sex offenders could move about in town. Unfortunately, because of a procedural error, one of the ordinances remains. We urge the council to complete the repeal as soon as possible.
The ordinances were a solution for a problem that did not exist. It was questionable whether they increased anyone's safety. And arguably unconstitutional, they would have likely generated litigation the town could not afford.
The theory behind the ordinances was that the town could protect children and senior citizens by keeping registered sex offenders away from them. The law banned ex-offenders from going near playgrounds, parks, senior centers, bus stops, playgrounds, beaches, sports field, etc. But what problem was the council trying to address? There had been no rash of attacks by registered sex offenders on seniors or children at any of these places. As for enforcement, it was unclear how former offenders would be identified - scarlet letters perhaps?
As Andrew Schneider, executive director of the Connecticut ACLU chapter pointed out, it was an attempt by the town to effectively impose the additional punishment of banishment on all these individuals. The fact is that judges and probation officials, familiar with the details of individual cases, routinely impose orders that pedophiles stay away from places where children gather. Restrictions, tied directly to the nature of the crime, are imposed in other sexual assault cases as well. In the most serious cases, ex-offenders must wear GPS devices to track their movements.
Particular credit goes to councilors Rosetta Jones and Dana McFee. It would have been easy for them to climb aboard the bandwagon in favor of these feel-good ordinances. After all, who would not be in favor or protecting children and old people from registered sex offenders? But the pair questioned the policy from the start, recognizing that supporting it may have looked and felt good but really would not accomplish anything, except leave the town legally vulnerable.
The pair led a petition drive focused on the senior ordinance, the more outrageous of the two, collecting 537 signatures and forcing repeal of the ordinances onto the council agenda. This was not an easy or easily explained cause to fight for, but it was a fight well worth waging and winning.
Unfortunately, because the petition addressed only the senior ordinance, only that ordinance could legally be repealed at the recent meeting. Repealing the child safety zone law will require following the standard procedures, including a public hearing, before it can be legally acted on. We urge the council to act expeditiously.

The Queen's Birthday long-weekend saw huge crowds visit the Museum. We thank everyone for coming out in such blustery and wintery weather. We especially thank one visitor for bringing his mum to his favourite place.
We've just had the most fantastic long-weekend. Even with the wind and rain, so many people made a special effort to visit. Many of our visitors were unfortunately stuck in Sydney due to the Chilean volcanic ash-cloud and were unable to fly home. We really appreciate you all spending your time with us and hope everyone got home safely.
One super-special visitor was Jack Davis. Jack has drawn some great posters for us to look after. We'll certainly take very good care of them.
Jack's posters are on the right of this page. We all think Jack's words are wonderfu!
What do museums mean to you?
Tags Jack, weekend, vistors, long-weekend, dinosuar, whale, Wollongong Monster,
What a lovely story Tim. Gotta love hearing from our young visitors as they're so inspiring! We did a study with children aged 2-6 years and you can dowload the published article here. We also did an amusing study with 13 year old boys asking them "If the Museum was a person...".

Radwanska eases past Venus Williams to win Rogers Cup
Agnieszka Radwanska tamed Venus Williams 6-4 6-2 to win the Rogers Cup in Montreal on Sunday, the third seeded Pole setting herself up as a player to watch at the US Open.sports Updated: Aug 11, 2014 09:14 IST
Agnieszka Radwanska tamed Venus Williams 6-4 6-2 to win the Rogers Cup in Montreal on Sunday, the third seeded Pole setting herself up as a player to watch at the US Open.
The first win of the season for Radwanska, it provided a timely jolt of confidence going into Flushing Meadows and the year's final grand slam with 11 of her 14 career titles having come on hard courts.
"One of my biggest title," said Radwanska, who has registered a long line of firsts for tennis in her country, including Poland's first grand slam finalist and first Pole to win a WTA Tour title. "As you can see in the draw had pretty all top players. So very, very special title for me.
"I think she (Williams) played great tennis whole week, playing and beating a lot of good players on the way to the final. I think I even happier to beat Venus when she's really on fire."
Williams, a twice U.S. Open champion, will also be buoyed by her performance in Montreal with a projected return on Monday to the world rankings top 20 for the first time since March 2013.
The tournament also pushed Williams past the $30 million in career earnings, joining an elite club that includes her sister Serena and Maria Sharapova.
"I totally wanted to be in the top 20 like earlier this year," said Williams. "I've been having goals. It's always a goal in mind for myself and hopefully most tennis players."
"I would love to hit the top 16 and just keep going forward after that. Obviously, if I can continue this level of tennis, it will be something that can happen for me."
After a grinding and emotional three-set win over top ranked sister Serena in Saturday's semi-finals, the 34-year-old American appeared to have little left against an energetic and focused opponent almost 10 years her junior.
"It's been a really long week, I played like six matches in a row," said Williams. "Against her you really have to be patient. I just fell a little short today. I wanted to give more but I just didn't have it."
"I really would like to think under circumstances where I could give everything I have, that the results could have been a little different. She just was a little too good today."
Radwanska took control early on a sunny centre court, breaking Williams twice to race in front 4-1.
Williams would break back but the world number five would not buckle and easily took the opening set.
She opened the second set with another deflating break to quickly put the pressure on Williams and then broke the dejected American again to go up 5-2 before holding serve and finishing off the match with an emphatic ace.
"I was playing much better every match," said Radwanska. "I didn't start that well from my first match. I think every match was much better. That's why I think I sitting right here now."

Beautiful Beach Cabanas
Tropical vacations are unlike any other &mdash the combination of the exotic lands, fresh air and sand between your toes — there's nothing else quite like the experience. Another great way to set a tropical vacation apart from the rest is to rethink your accommodations a little bit.
Instead of being stuck in a high-rise with a tiny balcony overlooking just a portion of the ocean &mdash maybe a cabana on the beach would better suit your needs.
The only experience we've ever had with cabanas has been seeing them in movies that take place in a far off land. But we're realizing it doesn't have to be that way, and that beautiful beach cabanas are located all over the world. The best time to go if you're on a budget &mdash the off season (September-December)!

Trojan Tennis Wins It All, Including USC's 100th NCAA Championship
May 20, 2014
ATHENS, GA. -- The No. 1 USC men's tennis team captured the university's 100th NCAA Championship on familiar ground, sticking to their guns as the top seed for a 4-2 comeback win over No. 2 seed Oklahoma tonight in Athens, Ga. The Trojans extended their national record of titles by fighting out of an 0-2 hole and finally capping things off on Max de Vroome's clincher on court four. The sophomore was playing in his first NCAA Championship match, but earned veteran status tonight as he finished off the Sooners, which also were making their first NCAA title match run. In the end, the Trojan experience and comfort under the lights of the Georgia courts was too much to take.
In posting a 32-3 overall record in 2014, USC has now won five NCAA Championships at Dan Magill Tennis Complex. The last was in 2012, when Yannick Hanfmann clinched a fourth consecutive national championship for the Trojan cause. Two years later, he was locked in at the No. 1 spot in singles for USC, and he'd prove worthy of the upgrade as he registered USC's first point of the game to cut into a 2-0 deficit. Senior Ray Sarmiento was the next to show his veteran moves, shrugging off deficits in both sets to charge on to victory on court two to equalize. That left all the action raging on the bottom three courts, where on Eric Johnson had played in an NCAA final match. Johnson got it done, winning in straight sets as well, on a tiebreaker on court five. Now up 3-1, the match came down to two Trojans new to the national title match. Senior Michael Grant kept up his gutsy efforts on court six as he charged toward the finish line there. He'd be trumped by sophomore de Vroome, who registered the clincher from court four in a three-set battle. Grant was all too happy to abandon his match, though, in order to join the celebration raging two courts away.
The USC men's tennis program has claimed a record 21 national championships in helping the university to this 100th all-time NCAA Championship. In all, USC has 122 national championships (22 titles have come in non-NCAA competitions). At the close of this year's tournament, the Trojans almost sweet the All-Tournament Team honors. Yannick Hanfmann was selected at No. 1 singles, along with Ray Sarmiento (No. 2 singles), Max de Vroome (No. 4 singles), Eric Johnson (No. 5 singles) and Michael Grant (No. 6 singles). Sarmiento also was named the Tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Head coach Peter Smith is now the men's tennis program's second winningest coach, holding five NCAA Championships to follow 10 won by George Toley.
Oklahoma was up to the task in doubles play, snagging the opening point with wins on courts two and three while the court one matchup was tangled up on serve. At the No. 3 spot, USC's Max de Vroome and Eric Johnson also were holding on serve against Oklahoma's Ghilea/Papac and wound up fighting the Sooners in a tiebreaker. The Oklahoma pair was able to move out to a lead in the breaker, though, capturing the first win of the day with an 8-7 (2) victory. At the No. 2 spot, USC's Connor Farren and Roberto Quiroz had pulled back on serve against Oklahoma's Alcorta/Harris, only to stumble back into a hole. The Sooners made the most of that change of momentum with a push to claim the doubles point on an 8-5 win over the Trojan pair. That left USC's #1 Yannick Hanfmann and Ray Sarmiento's matchup suspended on court one against Alvarez/Webb to bring up singles play.
Oklahoma's #41 Dane Smith unleashed an all-out attack against USC's #42 Roberto Quiroz on court two, taking the Sooners up 2-0 in the match with the decision. USC's Michael Grant provided a lift for USC at the same time, though, finally wrapping up his first set on court six to make it a fourth court with USC holding a first-set lead. For a time, Yannick Hanfmann and Eric Johnson were both serving for their respective matches on courts one and five. Johnson's opportunity slipped away, but Hanfmann pounced on his change to tack another point on the board. The #10 ranked junior upended #5 Guillermo Alcorta with another powerful performance. His 7-5, 6-2 win got USC its first point of the night, making it 2-1.
Right next-door to Hanfmann was his #9 senior teammate Ray Sarmiento, who had claimed his first set but then slipped behind 1-3 in the second, up against Oklahoma's #7 Axel Alvarez. He'd stubbornly keep coming. A late break of Alvarez pulled him within one, and the senior would hold next to level things at 5-5, and soon he was wrapped up in a tiebreaker. Sarmiento held his ground against Alvarez and equalized the match at 2-2 with his 6-4, 7-6 (4) decision. That put all eyes on the bottom courts, where all three matches were still raging on.
Johnson, it turned out, was far from shaken by his misfire in his second set. Given the opportunity to take the set to a tiebreaker, Johnson stuck to his guns and blasted his Trojans to a 3-2 lead with a strong 6-1, 7-6 (2) victory on court five. That heaped pressure on the remaining courts -- No. 4 and No. 6, where USC had two Trojans battling in their first-ever NCAA Championship matches. So, too, did Oklahoma have newcomers to the national stage, as the Sooners were in their first-ever NCAA title match. The Trojan newbies outgunned the Oklahoma newbies down the stretch. While senior Michael Grant was gutting out another three-set battle on court six, sophomore Max de Vroome was making winning moves on court four. Broken to come into a 4-4 tie in his third set, de Vroome answered back. He'd collect a break right back and then charge on to clean up USC's 100th NCAA Championship and 21st in the men's tennis world. It also capped USC's fifth NCAA Championship won in Athens, Ga. The Trojans also won titles in Georgia in 1991, 1993, 2010 and 2012 preceding this 2014 crown.

DALLAS—Elizabeth Escalona has admitted that when she beat her then 2-year-old daughter and glued her hands to a wall, she behaved like a monster.
Where both sides disagree is whether she's a monster now.
Prosecutors and Escalona's attorney, Angie N'Duka, are scheduled to present their closing arguments on her sentencing Friday morning. Escalona, who pleaded guilty to felony injury of a child, faces up to life in prison. Prosecutors want a 45-year sentence.
State District Judge Larry Mitchell will decide Escalona's sentence.
Prosecutor Eren Price has repeatedly described the 23-year-old Escalona as a "monster." Price ripped into Escalona on Thursday, repeatedly calling her a liar and ordering her to look at photos of the injuries she inflicted on her daughter, Jocelyn Cedillo.
In one photo, dozens of red and brown marks from the September 2011 beating covered Jocelyn's back. Price told Escalona to count how many bruises there were. Escalona sobbed for several seconds.
"Ms. Escalona, if you can do it, you can look at it," Price said in a loud, sharp voice.
Police say Escalona kicked her daughter in the stomach, beat her with a milk jug, then stuck her hands to an apartment wall with an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue. Escalona's other children told authorities their mother attacked Jocelyn due to potty training problems.
Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, a fractured rib, bruises and bite marks, and was in a coma for a couple of days. Some skin had been torn off her hands, where doctors also found paint chips from the apartment wall, witnesses testified.
Escalona has admitted she behaved like a monster when she beat Jocelyn but insists she isn't one now.
Price asked Escalona what she thought should happen in the case. Escalona replied in a soft, halting voice: "I should be put away." Then, she added, "But I also think I should be given a second chance."
When Price asked her why, she responded: "Because I'm not a monster."
The toddler's grandmother, Ofelia Escalona, said her daughter "made a mistake. She's not a monster. She needs help." Ofelia Escalona tearfully asked the judge to sentence her daughter to probation, saying she could be "fixed" and needed to work to support her children.
And N'Duka, Escalona's attorney, pointed out repeatedly that Escalona had taken the blame for attacking her daughter.
"She said to you, 'I take full responsibility for what happened,'" N'Duka said in questioning a Dallas Police officer who investigated the case, Senior Cpl. Abel Lopez.
Escalona acknowledged several missteps in her childhood: hanging around with gang members and trying marijuana around the age of 11, assaulting her mother at 12 and getting pregnant with her first child at 14.
She also admitted drinking and doing drugs after she was released from jail on bail in February.
Despite what she described as problems paying rent and other bills, Escalona admitted she was using marijuana about twice a day in the time before she attacked Jocelyn.

Nipple discharge refers to any fluid that seeps out of the nipple of the breast.
Nipple discharge in women who are not pregnant or breast-feeding may not be abnormal, but it's wise to have any unexpected nipple discharge evaluated by a doctor. Nipple discharge in men under any circumstances could be a problem and needs further evaluation.
One or both breasts may produce a nipple discharge, either spontaneously or when you squeeze your nipples or breasts. A nipple discharge may look milky, or it may be clear, yellow, green, brown or bloody. Nonmilk discharge comes out of your nipple through the same nipple openings that carry milk. The consistency of nipple discharge can vary — it may be thick and sticky or thin and watery.

You quickly get a feeling for Kaspersky's approach with Internet Security 2011 when you look at the Safe Run section of the software.
This is where you will find a new feature called Safe Run for Websites which adds extra protection to sites that handle confidential data. This prevents malware from snooping on your data while you're filling in passwords and account numbers.
This is a good idea, but it is spoilt by a warning that 'the functionality of the x64 platform is limited'. Let's face it, 64-bit software has taken off with Windows 7 and the security software developers need to keep up.
The other tool that caught our eye is a virtual keyboard. If you're worried that there might be a keylogger installed on your laptop, then you fire up the virtual keyboard and use your mouse to click on the letters and digits. This is certain to beat the suspected problem, but it rather smacks of paranoia. Still, it shows that Kaspersky is certainly being innovative.
The footprint of this software is tiny and required about 40MB of memory. We like the desktop gadget that sits up in a corner of the screen watching like a guardian angel, but struggle with the idea that you can customise short-cuts to the parts of the software that you use most frequently. This can only save seconds.
We were more impressed by the parental controls, which work very successfully.
Perhaps the biggest issue with Kaspersky is the lack of user-friendliness. For example, you have to be prepared to venture into the Protection Centre and then into Application Control and then you're faced with a whole new screen that will require you to pause and think. Do you want to use the default heuristic analysis to define unknown applications? It's a good question, but not the sort of thing you want your parents to ask over the phone when they need some technical support.
Kaspersky has packed in features, but the software could be rather daunting for the casual user and we feel it is best suited for more technical types.

(Cejudo's decision win against Ryan Hollis from Legacy FC 24 in October.)
As the youngest Olympic wrestling gold-medalist in U.S. history, Henry Cejudo kicked off his MMA career last year with a ton of hype behind him. And so far he's lived up to it, winning five straight fights including four by first-round stoppage. But Cejudo has hit a rough patch lately due to weight and "illness" (which might just be a code-word for "weight").
In November, Cejudo no-showed the weigh-ins for Legacy FC 25, where he was scheduled to compete in the co-main event against Saul Elizondo. According to his manager, Cejudo was suffering from nausea and light-headedness, and was later diagnosed with a stomach flu. The fight against Elizondo was scrapped.
Yesterday, Cejudo showed up late to the weigh-ins for tonight's Legacy FC 27 card at Houston's Arena Theatre — where he'll be facing 4-0 prospect Elias Garcia — and hit the scales at 128.5 pounds for the flyweight contest. As a result, Cejudo has forfeited half of his fight-purse, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is expected to suspend him between 90 and 180 days for being a late arrival to weigh-ins.
Cejudo has had no problem outclassing his opponents at bantamweight in the past, and his drop to flyweight seems somewhat unnecessary, at least at this stage of his career. While a 90-day suspension wouldn't make a difference to your average UFC fighter, Cejudo fought at a breakneck frequency last year in order to build experience; for him, a three-month suspension might actually sting. It's a tough break — but perhaps a good indication that 135 is where he belongs right now.

It takes more than a four-leaf clover to win grants,
influence officials, reach the public or improve
professional skills. Today's librarians constantly
adjust to meet the changing demands of their
communities, technology, and profession. To do
otherwise is to cling to beliefs or behaviors that
persist long after the reason for them has been
forgotten -- to embrace superstition: the irrational
fear of the unknown. As most of us have come to
realize, the future is here, and it's not as frightening
as we'd thought!
Therefore, mark your calendar for Friday the 13th,
May 2005 and plan to attend the Delaware Library
Association Conference at the Dover Sheraton,
where the theme is "Great Libraries: It Takes More
Than Luck!"
Thirteen of the presenters, workshops and panels
for the one-day annual Delaware Library
Association conference include: "Books That
Cook," a review of popular titles with Joyce
Valenzi; "Detectives Without Pants," with Michael
Garrion, "Blogging for Students and Teachers,"
with Delaware teen author Laura Zeises, "Finding
Performers, Winning Grants," with Susan Saken,
Delaware Division of the Arts; and "Working with
Volunteers: A Toolkit." Also slated is "Internet
Literacy" (Fred Hoffstetter); "Pay Equity" (Martha
Duyra); "Just the Facts, Ma'am," (panel of
nonfiction writers, reviewers, and readers); "The
Patriot Act" (Stephanie Ardito); "Improving
Readers Advisory" (Peggy Dillner); an audio book
workshop and a safety seminar. The keynote
speaker is to be announced.
A book-signing is planned for the pre-conference
evening of Thursday, May 12th. Over a dozen
local and regional authors have agreed to
participate in this Delaware Library Association

The College and
Research Libraries
Division (CRLD) held
their 2004 Fall
Program on Tuesday,
October 5. The
program was held at
the Conference Center
at the Stanton campus
of Delaware
Technical and Community College. The theme
was Information Literacy.
The program featured two speakers. The first
speaker was Etheline G. Thomas, Chair of the
English Department at Delaware Technical and
Community College – Wilmington. Dr. Thomas's
presentation was "Strengthening the Academic
Identity of First Year Students through
Information Literacy." Dr. Thomas spoke about
the Academic Identity program for First Year
Students at DelTech. According to Dr. Thomas
there is a wealth of information useful in
collaborating with faculty and counselors to
develop strong academic identities for the first
year students. Information literacy relates to
academic identity formation through multiple
channels, such as fostering independent learning
and achieving academic success.
Pamela A. MacPherson of the English Department
at DelTech Stanton was the second speaker. She
spoke on Multiple Intelligences and Learning
Styles. According to the Multiple Intelligences
theory, people have different ways of learning and
perceiving the world and these can be classified
into eight (or seven or nine) different Intelligences.
Students can be more successful if they know
themselves and their strengths and can more easily
develop new skills if they understand the overall
framework of intelligences.
We had an array of college and university
librarians attending the program. We were able to

County weighs alcohol boards merger
Catawba County commissioners are expected to vote Friday on a potential merger between the Catawba County and Taylorsville Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) boards.
If approved, the merger would result in annual savings for the Taylorsville board and create better product selection at its store in Alexander County.
Catawba County would also get .5 percent of the gross annual sales at the Taylorsville store if the merger is approved.
Catawba County's ABC Board has assisted the Alexander County store since June 2011, when Taylorsville's ABC Store manager was dismissed.
Since then, Catawba County ABC stores General Manager Ray Abernathy has been operating the Taylorsville store at the request of the Taylorsville Town Council and his own volunteering.
His management was only temporary, however, and now the commissioners will vote on a proposed merger plan between the two boards.
Details in the merger include:
• The Town of Taylorsville will appoint an ABC Board Member to join the Catawba County ABC Board, which will consist of six members, five named by the Catawba County Board of Commissioners and one by the Taylorsville City Council.
• There will be no term limits for board members. A chairperson will be appointed for a one-year term by the Catawba County Board of Commissioners.
• The Town of Taylorsville would receive a one-time "windfall" profit from the Catawba County ABC Board in a dollar amount associated with the store's liquor inventory on Dec. 31, 2011, at 9:01 p.m., which could be as much as $80,000.
• The Taylorsville store will remain in its current location and remain in a previous three-year lease agreement between the local board and the Town of Taylorsville.
• In compensation for running the system, Catawba County ABC will receive .5 percent of gross sales.
Commissioners will meet Friday at 9:30 a.m. in the 1924 Courthouse in Newton.

Sheriff's officials say a witness caught him in the act, confronted the man, told Walmart staff and followed the suspect out of the store.
A 63-year-old Marion Oaks man was arrested Thursday after sheriff's officials say he used a cellphone to photograph a 10-year-old boy using the urinal in a store restroom.
Maximo Deherrera charged with video voyeurism, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The crime was reported at the Walmart Supercenter on Southwest State Road 200 shortly after 3 p.m.
Deherrera and a friend went to the store to get groceries. The friend said Deherrera left, then came back and said he was being accused of taking pictures of a boy in the bathroom. She said he admitted taking a picture of the juvenile, but said it was an accident.
According to a Sheriff's Office report, Detective Clint Smith reviewed store surveillance video, which showed that when Deherrera left his friend, he walked to an aisle in front of the toy section. He then followed the boy from the aisle to the bathroom.
A witness, Peter Farley, was behind Deherrera as he walked in the restroom and saw that the camera/video was activated on his smartphone. Farley told authorities he saw Deherrera slide the phone down the side of the urinal divider and snap a picture of the boy using the urinal next to him. Farley said he saw the flash go off and immediately knew what the man was doing, reports note.
Farley said he confronted Deherrera, who started to delete photos from his phone.
Farley alerted Walmart staff and followed Deherrera out of the store.
Deherrera told Smith he accidentally took a photograph with his cellphone while standing next to the boy in the bathroom. He said he deleted the picture after he was confronted by the witness.
Deherrera's friend Margarita Robles said, "I'm shocked. I've known him for many years through the church, and I don't believe he would do something like that. He has grandchildren." She said if it was an accident, then "no problem." She also said Deherrera's daughter is arranging his bail, which is set at $20,000.
MCSO spokesperson Jimmy Pogue urged parents to think twice before leaving their children alone in public places.
Detectives said they plan to request a search warrant for Deherrera's phone as the investigation continues.

I installed the 5-disc distribution on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, which has an Intel Pentium M running at 1.73Ghz, 512MB RAM, an Ati Radeon X300 with 128MB (dedicated) RAM, and a 15.4" widescreen display (1280x800). The default installation required disc 1 through 4; the installation defaults to GNOME. As is common with Linux these days, all my hardware was working correctly from the get-go (save for my bcm43xx wireless device, but that is to be expected).
SLED boots up fairly quickly to a clean GNOME desktop, with appealing colours. The normal GNOME 'Applications/Places/System' menus have been replaced by a single 'Computer' menu; at first, I was afraid I'd hate it because it reminded me too much of the cumbersome XP-style start menu; however, somehow, in an inexplicable way, it makes sense. Everything is where you expect it to be, and the most important items are easily distinguishable from the lesser ones. It provides Beagle integration for both documents as well as applications. Hats off to Novell for this, I hope, freely available GNOME menu applet.
First thing I did, obviously, was to start up Xgl. I anticipated a lot of die-hard console work, endless hours of Google searching, and configuration file after configuration file. However, none of this. The effects as well as Xgl itself can easily be turned on and off via configuration dialog, which also automagically installs and enables Ati/nVIDIA drivers for you. When Xgl is started, it reloads X for you.
The effects do not slow down this machine at all. Where Vista's effects sometimes skip a few frames or slighlty bog down the computer, SLED's effects have none of those problems at all. Some are fairly useless (like a trail of ripples following your mousecursor, or wobbly windows) some are actually extremely useful, such as the shameless Exposé clone. In fact, Xgl's implementation of Exposé is better than Apple's; in Xgl, the windows kind of 'bounce' towards their respective positions in the grid, giving the windows a much more physical feeling than in the MacOS. The rotating cube is nice too, as it gives virtual desktops a 'presence', making the concept easier to understand for 'ordinary' users. Again, hats off to Novell for this technology.
However, Xgl is by far not the most impressive feature of SLED 10. The most impressive feature is its complete lack of, what I call, 'ducktape' feeling. Virtually all distributions I have tried gave me the direct feeling I was using a product stitched together by ducktape; group A did something, group B as well, and group C stitched those two together with ducktape. SLED, however, feels as if the parts are surgically sewn together, after which a plastic surgeon hid the stitches. A huge step forward for desktop Linux.
Some parts do need better stitching though; especially YaST2, written in Qt, stands out like an American in Paris. A not-so-easy solution would be to write gtk+ frontends to YaST2's back-end. Another thing is OpenOffice, which still uses the old GNOME icons instead of the Tango ones.
Of course it is difficult to draw any conclusions after only such a short time of usage, but already I can confidently say that this release candidate outshines Windows Vista's beta; SLED provides fancy effects without slowing the computer down and also gives you advanced search capabilities in a well-integrated fashion. I'd even go as far as to say that even Apple should be worried; SLED has all the bling and integration at the application level that the MacOS offers; however, SLED can be installed on computers most people already have. And that's an advantage.
A huge one, at that.

Last night I read on TmoNews that T-Mobile had removed their no-contract, Even More Plus plans from their website. I'm currently one of those customers on an Even More Plus plans (and it's the main reason I'm a T-Mobile customer), so today we have been trying to figure out what exactly is going on.
David reports that T-Mobile says they are experiencing a glitch on their website, but the Even More Plus plans have been totally removed from the web including other online retailers like Amazon and Wirefly.
We reached out to T-Mobile to see if they could provide a comment, but they have yet to respond.
T-Mobile recently rolled out several new prepaid plans, so this might be where they push new customers who don't want a contract.
Prepaid calling plans from T-Mobile include:
- $15 per month – Unlimited Text with 10c/min Talk
- $30 per month – 1500 Talk & Text with 30 MB data
- $50 per month – Unlimited Talk & Text with 100 MB data
- $70 per month – Unlimited Talk & Text with 2 GB data
Some of these plans are nice, but they don't match the savings I was getting on Even More Plus.
Hopefully T-Mobile will be able to clear this up soon. What are your thoughts on the possibility of losing your Even More Plus plan? Would you save money on one of the newer prepaid plans or consider going back to contracts?

NCSE's archives house a unique trove of material on the creationism/evolution controversy, and we regard it as part of our mission to preserve it for posterity — as well as for occasions such as Kitzmiller v. Dover, where NCSE's archives helped to establish the creationist antecedents of the "intelligent design" movement.
The chorus of support for the teaching of evolution continues, with statements from two biology departments at universities in Oklahoma.
NCSE is seeking to hire a new executive director to replace Eugenie C. Scott, who is retiring after more than twenty-six years at NCSE's helm.
NCSE is pleased to announce that the latest issue of Reports of the National Center for Science Education is now available on-line.
The chorus of support for the teaching of evolution continues, with a statement from the American Federation of Teachers — Oregon, adopted in 2013.
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of John A. Long's The Dawn of the Deed: The Prehistoric Origins of Sex (University of Chicago Press, 2012).
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from Chapman University in recognition of her "work ... in advancing the public understanding and acceptance of evolution."
Prompted by the announced impending retirement of NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott, the journal Nature devoted its May 15, 2013, editorial column to applauding NCSE's work.

Get Michaels talking about his daughters and any preconceptions about the bandanna-sporting, tattooed rocker quickly melt away.
The most important thing I've taught them is that I love them," Michaels, 47, says of his daughters Raine, 9 ½, and Jorja, 4 ½. "I may not be there every day of their life, but I call them three [or] four times a day."

Michaels and the girls' mother, Kristi Gibson, whom he dated off and on for more than 10 years, share custody of the kids.
"It's a work in progress," he says of their relationship.
But they're solid as can be when it comes to parenting:
"We tell our daughter their mom and dad will never be replaced," he says.
Though currently on a solo tour—and appearing on NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice—Michaels comes home to Arizona, where Kristi lives with their kids, as often as possible.
"All my negotiating skills I've learned in recent times [come] from my daughters," he jokes about the girls, who styled themselves for the PEOPLE photo shoot. "That was all them."
As for his daughters' unique names, "I've got to give full credit to their mom," he says. He can vouch for Jorja's middle name, Bleu, though. "We threw her a little French in there," Michaels says with a smile. "A little culture."

He also provides plenty of fun. The family driveway features scooters, mini Jeeps and ATVs for the kids to ride, plus Dad's "toys," of course, including a Mercedes, which serves as the family car. "We're like the Griswolds of rock 'n' roll," he jokes.
And what do the girls' think of their rocker father?
"We sing together," says Raine. "It's really cool. He's just kind of like a big kid."
Adds Jorja: "Dad is a rock star!" And perhaps more importantly, the 4-year-old says, "He is my hero."

Some of the very best high school athletes use four years of varsity competition to cement their athletic legacy. But Glenelg senior Sean Twigg needed only half of that time to become one of the best heavyweight wrestlers to ever come through Howard County.
Twigg, who wrestled on JV as a freshman and sophomore, went a combined 81-6 in his two varsity seasons, winning a county title, two regional titles, and two state titles. This year he also won the highly competitive Mount Mat Madness tournament and has been named the Columbia Flier/Howard County Times Wrestler of the Year.
"Heavyweight matches are often decided by one point or one mistake. Sean's ability to win these types of matches time and again against many gifted opponents shows his strategic wrestling knowledge and athleticism in an unpredictable weight class," coach Chris Rosas said.
Along the way, Twigg defeated a pair of state place winners from Howard County — Oakland Mills' Roy Kadje (5th) and River Hill's Justin Nestor (3rd) — a combined five times, the Carroll County champion (Winters Mill's Jake Utz) twice, the Baltimore County champion (Dundalk's Wayne Maddox), the Frederick County champion (Urbana's Nick Keller), the 3A/4A state finalist (Huntingtown's Dalonte Holland), the 3A/4A South regional champion (Northern's Cliff Armentrout) and two Maryland Independent School place winners: Pallotti's Antonio Santoro (2nd) and Mount St. Joseph's Shane Lowman (3rd).
In fact, Twigg's only loss came in the very first weekend of the season, in the finals of the War on the Shore tournament.
Twigg, who also lost in the finals of the War on the Shore tournament last year, lost a 1-0 decision to Stephen Decatur's Ryan Kail.
"I was pretty upset for a couple of reasons: one, I didn't get to win War on the Shore, which was one of my goals; and two, I didn't get to wrestle that kid again," said Twigg, who is the first Maryland wrestler to win two heavyweight state titles since Oakland Mills' Robert Scott in 2000. "I had some goals this year and I didn't reach all of them."
But that was the last match he would lose all season, going on to win 37 straight from Dec. 11 to March 2, when he defeated Utz, 1-0, for the 1A/2A state heavyweight title.
"That match (with Kail) was a combination of two things: conditioning and single mindedness," he added.
Twigg — whose father wrestled growing up — actually came to the sport after his younger brother Austin, a Glenelg sophomore this year, took it up at around age six.
Prior to becoming a wrestler, Sean Twigg had tried basketball and soccer, and eventually also became a standout football player for Glenelg High School.
"I didn't like basketball," Twigg said. "I'm awful at basketball, and that's an understatement."
By the time he came to high school, Twigg was a seasoned wrestler. But weighing over 200 pounds as a freshman, wrestling varsity against 17 and 18 year olds was out of the question.
By his sophomore year, Twigg had grown bigger and stronger, and felt that he was ready to wrestle varsity heavyweight. But an injury and an incumbent senior prevented him from moving up. He finished undefeated that season, winning a JV county title.
"Sophomore year was a little weird, but it was just something you had to deal with," he said.
Last year, Twigg finally got his chance. Coming into the season, he said, his stated goal was to "really just place at states and just feel it out."
Twigg finished 37-5 that season, with most of his losses coming to River Hill's Jason Johnson, the 2012 3A/4A state champ. But his wins included the regional and state titles.
This year, Twigg had the pressure of repeating as state champ, but he also got to wrestle alongside his younger brother Austin, who finished 30-12 this year at 195 pounds with third place finishes in the county and region.
"We're really close but we're also really competitive. It's fun when we get to wrestle in practice but there's too much of a weight difference between us," said Twigg, who also has a sister who is a freshman at Glenelg.
Next year, Twigg has committed to wrestle for the University of Maryland, where his mother teaches nursing. He plans to study law, with the goal of one day becoming a lawyer.
At Maryland, he could get another crack at the only wrestler who beat him this year, although it will be in the practice room. Stephen Decatur's Kail has also committed to wrestle for Maryland.
Because the Terrapins already have four heavyweights, none of them seniors, Twigg knows that he will have to be patient once again before he gets his chance.
"I'll be used to it," he said. "It's going to be different. It's going to be a lot harder, but it's going to be exciting and I'm really looking forward to it."
Also named to the all-county team:
106: Michael Beck (38-1), River Hill junior
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: 3rd.
Beck was injured late in the season, but bounced back for the county tournament and did not lose a match until the state tournament quarterfinals. He avenged that loss with a pin in the third place match, and has won more than 75 matches in the last two seasons. He scored 17 first period pins, and pinned his way to a Franklin Invitational title.
106: Jeff Hayden (36-8), Mt. Hebron sophomore
County: 2nd. Region: 2nd. State: 2nd.
One of the surprises of the 2012-2013 season, Hayden was a finalist in each of the postseason tournaments after dropping to 106 just before the county tournament.Hayden also went undefeated at the District V Duals and placed third at the Franklin Invitational.
113: Taariq Mohammed (37-6), River Hill senior
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: DNP.
Mohammed has a bright future as a student, having recorded a perfect score on the ACT, but he is also a formidable wrestler. Mohammed scored 22 wins by pinfall, including seven in 30 seconds or less. He scored 59 of a possible 66 county dual meet points, helping the Hawks to their second straight county dual meet title, and finished with an impressive 127 career wins at River Hill.
120: Zach Hensley (38-2), Oakland Mills senior
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: 3rd.
One of the county's best over the past four years, Hensley became Oakland Mills' eighth three-time county champion this winter. He scored 60 of a possible 66 county dual meet points, won a Snowverlea Invitational title, and finished with a sterling career record of 142-23, including a trip to the state finals last year.
126: Jordan Trinh (31-5), Wilde Lake senior
County: 1st. Region: 2nd. State: NA.
Trinh went out with a bang, winning his first county title as a senior and advancing to the regional finals, but unfortunately missed the state tournament due to illness. He finished his Wilde Lake career with 97 wins in four seasons.
132: Mason Kilcarr (36-4), Reservoir junior
County: 1st. Region: 2nd. State: 2nd.
Kilcarr still has one more year in his excellent career as a Gator, but he is already one of the school's all-time greats. His only losses in the postseason were to Broadneck's dominant Cameron Harrell, in the regional and state finals, and he scored 63 of a possible 66 county dual meet points. He already has over 100 career wins and could become Reservoir's first three-time county champ next year.
138: Austin Kraisser (38-4), Centennial freshman
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: 2nd.
Following in the footsteps of his four-time state champion older brother, Nathan, Austin made his own name this season, winning county and region titles. After losing three matches in the season-opening War on the Shore tournament, Kraisser went on a three-month winning streak that ended in the state finals with a close decision. A polished wrestler, he scored 22 pins, 66 takedowns, and scored 62 of a possible 66 county dual meet points.
145: Malik Jackson (32-8), Wilde Lake junior
County: 1st. Region: 2nd. State: 4th.
Jackson has a chance to become Wilde Lake's fourth-ever three-time county champion next year, and finished this season with a league best 114 takedowns. In two varsity seasons, the lightning-fast wrestler has already won 65 matches.
152: Joe Kendrick (34-5), Mt. Hebron senior
County: 1st. Region: 3rd. State: 2nd.
Kendrick, who has committed to wrestle for Millersville next year, ended an excellent four-year career with his best season as a Viking. He won his first county title, went on a memorable run to the state tournament finals, and finished with a career record of 104-42.
160: Bryan Overton (40-4), Hammond senior
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: 3rd.
Overton had one of the most dominant seasons in Howard County wrestling. His only losses were to the 3A/4A and 1A/2A state champions, and the Virginia state runner-up. The county and regional champ also recorded 71 takedowns and 21 pins, while scoring 57 of a possible 66 county dual meet points. He also finished with 120 career wins, seventh all-time at Hammond, against only 27 losses.
170: Tola Morakinyo (39-1), Wilde Lake senior
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: 2nd.
A strong Wrestler of the Year candidate, Morakinyo did not lose until the state finals, in a close decision to Bel Air's formidable William Holder-Moore — the same wrestler he memorably beat in an epic regional championship match. Morakinyo scored 23 pins and 81 takedowns, and finished with 115 career wins.
182: Brian Kirby (32-8), River Hill sophomore
County: 1st. Region: 2nd. State: DNP.
After bumping up over 40 pounds from his freshman year, Kirby did not miss a beat, winning his first county title and advancing to the regional finals. He also won a Franklin Invitational title and has already won almost 60 matches in two seasons.
195: Cory Daniel (42-0), River Hill junior
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: 1st.
A strong candidate for Wrestler of the Year, Daniel was the only athlete to boast an undefeated season from start to finish this year, including a Franklin Invitational title. He scored 23 pins, including 17 in the first period, and scored 59 of a possible 66 county dual meet points. Next year he will look to become River Hill's third three-time county champion, joining coach Brandon Lauer.
220: Logan Kirby (36-1), River Hill junior
County: 1st. Region: 1st. State: 2nd.
Like Morakinyo, Kirby did not lose until the state finals. He led the Hawks in pins (24), including 16 in the first period, and scored an impressive 64 (out of a possible 66) county dual meet points. Like his practice partner, Daniel, Kirby can become a three-time county champ next year.
285: Roy Kadje (37-8), Oakland Mills senior
County: 2nd. Region: 2nd. State: 5th.
Kadje lost to Twigg in the county and regional finals (in overtime in the county tournament), but finished his Oakland Mills career with over 70 wins and tied for the league-lead in pins this year with 28.

Streetside Records to Close in Early 2013
COLUMBIA - Streetside Records announced Thursday night that it would close early next year. The store's manager Nicholas Soha posted the news on the store's Facebook page. The post thanked customers for their loyalty, but did not elaborate on the reason behind the store's closing.
Streetside opened 30 years ago, and in 2003, national entertainment retail corporation, Trans World Entertainment bought the store. It could not be reached for comment on Friday.
The store launched a liquidation sale on Friday, which had many customers visiting the store to get their favorite CD's and records before they're gone. Customer Alejo Benedetti said he would miss the music selection availiable. "I've been here once before, and it is a shame that it's closing," said Benedetti.
Slackers, another music store in Columbia, could benefit from Streetside's closing. Assistant manager Ted Sharp said the two stores have an overlap in customers, and that with Streetside gone, people would be forced to look elsewhere for collectible vinyl records. "We've seen a definite decline in CD sales, but vinyl record sales are actually way up. People like to collect these, they're made in limited numbers, and they have more value than a CD," said Sharp.
No official date has been set, but the store is expected to close at the end of January.

Meprin A is involved in the degradation of brain natriuretic peptide in mice
Meprin A ist beteiligt am Abbau von Brain Natriuretic Peptide in der Maus
Search Medline for
|August 8, 2006
Natriuretic peptides (NP) like atrial (ANP) and B-type (BNP) natriuretic peptide are cyclic peptide hormones mainly of cardiac origin with natriuretic and vasodilator effects. NP are quickly cleared from circulation by (a) binding to a clearance receptor with the subsequent internalization and cleavage by cytoplasmic enzymes and (b) degradation by extracellular peptidases. The neutral endopeptidase (NEP), a membrane bound type-II metallopeptidase of the M13 family, is generally regarded to be the main enzyme for NP-degradation. However, our own studies with membranes of wildtype and NEP-knockout mice showed BNP resistance for NEP degradation and thus BNP-degrading activity independent from NEP.
In this study we investigated which peptidase is responsible for the mouse BNP degradation in murine kidney using class-specific inhibitors. The BNP-degrading activity was completely inhibited by the metalloprotease inhibitor EDTA, but not by phosphoramidon, which inhibits e.g. NEP, NEP2 and endothelin-converting enzyme. Further investigations with specific metalloendoproteinase inhibitors enabled us to identify meprin A (EC 18.104.22.168) as a promising candidate degrading BNP. Meprin A is a phosphoramidon- insensitive multimeric metalloprotease expressed in the brush borders of kidney proximal tubules that hydrolyzes a variety of growth factors, vasoactive peptides, cytokines and extracellular matrix proteins. Both murine kidney membrane and purified meprin A cleaved within the N-terminal tail of mouse BNP at position His6-Ile7. Actinonin, the most effective inhibitor for meprin A, totally blocked the mouse BNP degradation in murine kidney membranes. Interestingly, the resulting peptide BNP 7-32 appears to be accessible for degradation by NEP. Thus, the initial degradation step by meprin A is essential for the rapid BNP catabolism. As BNP elevation is discussed as a therapeutic tool in the treatment of chronic heart failure, the understanding of its metabolism is important for the development of new therapeutic strategies. Consequently, the inhibition of meprin A could be a new potential method to increase circulating BNP levels.

I've come up with plenty of excuses over the past few months related to why I have been extremely behind on posting new things on the blog. Truth is: I have been excessively lazy. The distracting mentality of summer has taken over, and to be honest, I'm actually having a great time (in case any of you cared to know). With my move back to New York, I wil continue to post sporadically. But there is hope! Come August I will be posting regularly again, and will continue to strive to produce quality likable material.
With all of that being said, I would like to introduce my first shoot with blonde hair! Shot by Hannah Marks (duh), this impromtu shoot actually turned out well! I am going to miss Hannah so much when I move to the city because she always takes such gorgeous, crisp photos!
