Minnesota Woman Wearing Headphones Hit By Train
ISANTI (AP) — Authorities say a 19-year-old Minnesota woman didn't hear the freight train that struck and critically injured her because she was hearing headphones.
The Isanti County sheriff's office was called to the accident Wednesday afternoon. Officers found the rural Isanti woman conscious and alert on the side of the railroad tracks after being struck by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train.
The victim was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center and is in critical but stable condition.
Authorities say she was walking along the tracks with two men who saw the train and yelled at her, but she didn't hear them or the train because she was wearing headphones.
The men also tried to grab the woman before the train struck her.
The accident is under investigation.

The award is for "Cake baked by a work colleague" (if only I was on television my cakes would be winning this award!) and goes to the birthday cake that Neil, David Brent's arch nemesis, has made for a lady in the office.
Here is the cake being served. Neil has made a fine job of his icing and decorating:
David Brent takes a piece and tries it. His face suggests that he's prejudged it somewhat (bonus points if you spotted Monkey in the background):
He finds it a bit sweet, although everyone else seems to love it. According to one of the office workers Neil's lemon drizzle cake is even better !
The moment that I lose all sympathy for David Brent – he says he "prefers a flan", although there is something in the way he declares this that has me in stitches every time:

Harvey Milk Plaza's benches removed
S.F. Neighborhoods
The purple benches at San Francisco's Harvey Milk Plaza were removed Friday after growing complaints that they had become a loophole for drunks and others to avoid the city ordinance prohibiting sitting or lying on walkways.
The removal decision was made Monday by the Castro/Upper Market Community Benefit District, the community group that paid $40,000 to install the benches in 2010 and has been discussing their adverse impact on the plaza for months. The group paid $1,800 more to remove the benches, said Andrea Aiello, executive director of the benefit district.
The plaza sits at the heart of the Castro neighborhood, above the Castro Muni Station, which provides panhandlers with a steady flow of passers-by.
In the past month, Aiello said, more and more transients had been gathering on the benches. The board's decision was applauded by some walking by Friday morning as the seats were taken out.
"It's about time," said Dan Glazer, owner of the nearby bakeshop Hot Cookie. "They pee, they defecate, and they leave their garbage there. They have no respect for the plaza or for Harvey Milk and what he meant to our community."
But Hot Cookie employee Dylan Burditt disagreed.
"Generally, they're around, but that's just San Francisco," he said. "I think it's a drastic choice. Just because certain people are complaining, everybody else has to suffer (without benches)."
Jane Haggerstone, an employee at Sun Days Tanning Salon across from the plaza, echoed that sentiment.
"It's a shame because a lot of people have to wait for the buses and it would be nice for them to sit," she said.
But Haggerstone acknowledged that it often got dicey walking by the transients who claimed the benches. They would hassle her, and whenever too many were gathered there, she would walk up the street to avoid them.
City Supervisor Scott Wiener, whose district includes the Castro, said the transients lolling about the plaza with their knapsacks and sleeping bags were "No. 2 after nudity" in complaints he received from his constituents. Homeless outreach would often offer them services, he said, but many of the bench sitters were nomads and didn't want the help.
"The situation with camping and sit/lie and drugs and violence had just gotten out of control," Wiener said.
The benches had to go for the vagrants to go, he added.
Jacob Davis, 21, said he was once homeless and frequented the plaza. But the last time he tried to sleep on the benches, someone kicked him in the face.
Davis said he recently found work and housing and got off the streets, but because of that, he was targeted by the bench sitters.
"I don't know why they feel entitled," he said, sitting at the adjacent Jane Warner Plaza. "If you're not part of that little group, you can't sit there."
"Good riddance," he added.
Without the benches, no one will be sitting at Harvey Milk Plaza, and as of Friday afternoon, the area was clean and devoid of its usual scruffy occupants.
Wiener said there's already talk about getting funding for a complete plaza remodel.
"It's all very preliminary, but it's Harvey Milk Plaza," he said. "There are many people, myself included, that think this plaza should be an absolute honor to Harvey Milk and not the poorly designed, secluded place it is now."

It's been a rough couple of years for moving companies as demand for moving household goods (HHG), corporate relocation, and trade show services has dried up dramatically. That's why Chicago-based Bekins Van Lines is one of many moving firms looking to move more into logistics and home-delivery services to drive future growth.
"After September 11, a lot of the traditional business movers relied on went way down and hasn't recovered," Bekins vp of business development Jack Griffin told Fleet Owner. He noted that the corporate relocation business has fallen off 22% over the last two years and that trade show services have dropped off as much if not more.
"The economy has been really brutal -- no one figured that we'd stay in a recession this long," said Griffin, "and that has driven HHG business way down as a result."
Griffin believes that Bekins and other movers need to refocus their efforts on other markets in order to grow their businesses -- especially in the areas of high-value good shipments and home delivery of retail goods.
"The way we are set up with our 300-plus agent structure is that we can offer both truckload and LTL-style trucking services and warehousing," he explained. "We recognize we're not a third-party logistics company and we don't want to market ourselves as such. But we have the ability to handle goods in a way that third-party firms can't, which could be an advantage for us."
The direct shipment of retail goods to consumers via Bekins' new Home Direct subsidiary is another major growth area for the company, said Griffith. "Home Direct shipments are up 52% and revenues are up 40%. It's going like gangbusters," he said. "And it's a market segment that's still relatively immature, so there's still lots of room for growth."
Rich McKee, president of Weymouth, MA-based McKee Moving & Storage -- a Bekins agent -- added that the focus on specialty logistics services and home delivery for high-value goods will drive the moving business in the future.
"Companies like FedEx and UPS are getting into bigger and bigger things, but we like to think we're getting into smaller things -- shipments that need specialized handling and set-up that companies like FedEx are not positioned to provide," he told FleetOwner.
That kind of 'high-value' service has been handled by traditional freight companies in the past, including less-than-truckload carriers, but offers many opportunities for movers, said McKee.
"We're ideally suited for that business, because we go to homes and businesses and set things up -- that's what we do," he explained. "We unpack goods and take away the debris. If you want to move it two inches left, we move it two inches to the left. That's why I think this direct business-to-consumer market holds great opportunity for us."

Today history was made in Ottawa. Liberal Senator Mac Harb's private member bill calling for the end of Canada's commercial seal hunt was unanimously approved to pass for second reading. Putting an end to Canada's cruel and wasteful commercial seal hunt will FINALLY be debated in the Senate!
This is Senator Harb's third attempt to get the bill through. In 2010 He failed to find a seconder and the motion died a swift death. In 2011 it was reported that Conservative Senator Lowell Murray seconded the motion but other senators voted against allowing the proposal to appear for discussion on the order paper. Senator Harb, undeterred, returned for a third attempt and this time the motion was seconded by liberal Senator Larry Campbell and was then passed unanimously to move forward for second reading and debate.
Senator Harb's bill calls for an end to the commercial seal hunt and compensation to be given to sealers. The bill does not target or affect the Inuit subsistence hunt which is also exempt from the EU trade ban on seal products.
Reaction to this momentous event has been swift. Humane Society International/Canada issued the following statement:
Senator Harb's bill is timely and would effectively end the commercial seal slaughter in Canada. HSI/Canada further proposes that any legislation to end the seal slaughter be paired with a federal sealing industry buyout. This plan would involve the federal government ending the commercial seal slaughter, providing immediate compensation to sealers and investing in economic alternatives in the communities involved. Polling shows half of sealers holding an opinion are already in support of this plan and the overwhelming majority of Canadians are willing to fund it. Given sealers and other Canadians are willing to move beyond commercial sealing, it is time our government acted."
The Green Party of Canada issued a press release which stated:
"The sealing industry had been dying for years," said Green Party leader Elizabeth May. "It's time to stop providing life support to this disappearing industry by ending the massive government subsidies. Taxpayers' money is better spent creating sustainable economic opportunities in coastal communities."
International Fund for Animal Welfare issued the following statement:
Senator Harb's bill is supported by public opinion polls that repeatedly show the majority of Canadians would like to see an end to the commercial seal hunt. At the very least, the Canadian government should debate this issue on behalf of those citizens. It's time.
When asked about the chances of the bill ultimately being passed, Senator Harb replied, "I'm a realist. I do believe the government and the Senate will not allow me to get it through. But I want to get the discussion going, whether they like it or not. That's democracy." Whether or not this bill is ultimately successful, there is no doubt in anyone's mind this marks a turning point in Canada. As the Chronicle Herald pointed out: "But the bill is another hint that the days of unwavering loyalty to the seal hunt are coming to an end."
Reaction from the pro-sealing camp has also been swift. Sealing industry representatives have spoken against calls to end the unprofitable seal hunt, claiming Canada's sealing industry is "very much alive and well." They provide some disingenuous facts to back up those dubious claims.
Here, they neglect to mention the profits and exports have been declining with each passing year. In 2011 the seal hunt brought in under $1 million, a figure dwarfed by the millions of dollars the Canadian government spends each year to subsidize the annual slaughter. As well, substantial markets to seal products have closed since 2005. The EU banned seal products in 2010 and Russia – which accounted for 90% of exports – banned sealskins last August. Markets in China, long-promised by the Canadian government, have not materialized.
Hmmmm, just a tad misleading to claim sealskin prices have increased this year when the Newfoundland government gave $3.6M to a processing company to buy all the seal skins to stockpile in case markets pick up in future! And let's not forget the sum in excess of $17,000 the government paid a St. John's furrier to shill sealskin at a recent international fur expo at which the only country present that did have a trade ban on seal products was Canada!!
In my opinion, an industry with a dwindling profit margin relying on subsidies from Canadian taxpayers and bailouts from the federal and provincial governments just to keep afloat is clearly NOT "alive and well." In my opinion, that is a drain on taxpayers should should be ended.
But of course Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette is blaming it all on the Vegetarian Lobby armed with pointy carrots and a secret agenda to turn the world into tofu-eating tree-huggers. And she also wants to market seal meat for our cats and dogs. Oh Senator. Don't you remember? They tried feeding seal meat to minks on fur farms. The minks all died.
A frank and honest discussion about Canada's cruel and wasteful commercial seal hunt is long-overdue. Let's start talking!

Premier League: Liverpool 2 Sunderland 1
Liverpool kept up the pressure on their Premier League title rivals with a 2-1 win that plunged Sunderland into deeper trouble.
Manchester City's comprehensive victory over champions United in Tuesday's derby meant that all eyes were on Anfield as Brendan Rodgers' side attempted to respond.
Sitting a point behind City - who now have two games in hand - and four adrift of Chelsea, it was essential that Liverpool grabbed a seventh successive league win to stay in touch.
After an opening 30 minutes of few chances, captain Steven Gerrard was on hand to settle the palpable nerves with a stunning free-kick that Vito Mannone could not keep out.
With order restored, Liverpool appeared on course for a comfortable night when Daniel Sturridge grabbed a 20th league goal of the campaign - in the process ensuring that he and Luis Suarez became the first Liverpool duo since Roger Hunt and Ian St John in 1963-64 to pass the mark in one season.
However, Sunderland threatened a twist in the tale when the impressive Ki Sung-Yueng pulled one back with 14 minutes left.
The visitors continued to press forward thereafter but fell short of a leveller that would have taken them to within two points of safety.
The home side looked every bit like a team who had not suffered defeat in 11 league games as they bossed the opening exchanges.
Yet, for all their attacking verve, Liverpool struggled to fashion clear-cut opening as Sunderland showed great restraint by largely operating with 10 men behind the ball.
Such discipline was severely lacking as the hosts took the lead six minutes before half-time, however.
Philippe Coutinho took advantage of Lee Cattermole's heavy touch to nip in and free Suarez, who was clumsily brought down on the edge of the area by Santiago Vergini.
The Argentinian was perhaps fortunate to escape with just a yellow card, although that was scant consolation when Gerrard's subsequent curler proved too powerful for Mannone – who did not help himself with a step to his right just before Gerrard struck the free-kick into the opposite corner.
To their credit, Sunderland almost found an immediate response as Connor Wickham - only recalled from a loan spell at Leeds this week - saw a deflected effort force a good save from former Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.
Any hopes of a turnaround were virtually extinguished immediately after the break as Sturridge cut inside Andrea Dossena before seeing his curling effort deflect off Wes Brown and beyond a helpless Mannone.
Buoyed by grabbing his 20th Premier League goal of the campaign, Sturridge almost added another soon afterwards - only to see his effort hit Suarez.
The game had suddenly taken on and end-to-end nature, with Cattermole and Sturridge rattling the crossbar in quick succession.
Sunderland set up a tense finale as Ki, who impressed having come off the bench, headed home fellow substitute Adam Johnson's corner.
But despite their late efforts, the visitors could not fashion a second, as Liverpool held on to three vital points.

Dropped calls, no bars, slow internet… you've finally had it with your cell phone provider and you want to leave. Trouble is you're locked into a long term contract and the only way to get out is to pay a large fee. Or maybe not.
CelltradeUSA is a website designed to make it easier for you to avoid those penalties and move on to greener pastures with more bars.
The company is a matchmaking service of sorts. Whether you want to walk away from your current contract or find a good deal with a new carrier, the company promises to help.
You create a profile describing the details of your contract, phone, and accessories you want to get rid of and Celltrade matches you with someone who wants to take your contract over.
Most US carriers are listed . The service charges a small fee but it's likely much cheaper than the penalty from your provider. There is one caveat: if you want to keep your current number you may run into some snags. Celltrade says each carrier handles this differently and you'll want to confirm with them you can move it.

Vino Alan Brings 'Let's Stay Together' to 'X Factor'
Vino Alan showed his soulful side on 'X Factor' tonight (Nov. 14) with his version of Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together.' But does he have what it takes to win America's vote?
The judges had mixed feelings about his performance. "Your voice is so soulful…it doesn't make sense that that voice comes out of your body, but it works," praised Britney Spears.
However, some of the other judges weren't quite so impressed with his delivery of the song. Demi Lovato offered the following words of criticism: "I like this performance better than last week's, but at the same time, I have to say I was a little bored." Simon Cowell agreed with her assessment. "I was happy to see you so high up in the rankings last week, because I think you needed confidence … but that song wasn't as good as last week."
However, L.A. Reid stood behind the tattooed singer all the way. "You put your soul into that, you sang it so strong," he began. "You have a classic voice, one of the best voices I've ever heard on this stage, and this song was a great platform for it. I'm really proud of you, my man."
Now, it's up to viewers to decide whether or not Alan deserves to win this thing! What do you think?

Chadwick Matlin transcribed a portion of the Tuesday-night press conference call convened by Clinton's campaign.
BAUER: "Different than the one previously made against every other caucus so far."
SOMEBODY: "Please start over."
BAUER: Can you hear me?
WOLFSON: "Bob, how nice of you to call! How are you?"
BAUER: Glad to talk to you it's been a while. We haven't seen each other since Iowa, which is the occasion of the last series of complaints the Clinton campaign has made against the caucus process. I'd be interested to know…(chatter) Nevada where you filed a lawsuit. I was just curious to know how is this any different, in fact, from the series of complaitns that you've registered against every caucus that you lose.
WOLFSON: Actually Bob we haven't experienced this exchange since you made a series of complaints in Nevada. And tried to do everything that you and the Obama campaign could do to undermine the results there. You haven't been on any of these calls with us before. We welcome you to this one.
BAUER: Well I appreciate that.
CLINTON person: The first call of this nature we've had. What is happening in Texas is extraordinary. We, of course, don't hold you personally responsible for it. But we do believe that you share our commitment to a strong democratic values and a system that ensures everyone who wants to participate in our process be given an equal and fair opportunity to do so. So I would imagine that you would welcome this opportunity to join with us to ensure that the problems we are pointing out on this call are dealt with expeditiously so that every Democrat in Texas who wants to participate can do so.
BAUER: Well, Howard, I just – I appreciate the spirit with which you're engaging me on this, and I just want to thank you for that. I just wanted to make sure you're answering my question. In Nevada you filed a lawsuit in advance of the caucus. In Iowa, you threatened various students with potential consequences if they voted under Iowa law. Now in the evening of the Texas caucus, while it's virtually taking place you claim you have well-documented accusations and that this is somehow the first time you've raised issues like this, and that really isn't true. Is it, Howard?
WOLFSON: What I said Bob, and we can debate and then we'll let the reporters ask some of their questions, that this is in fact the first phone call of this nature we have had during this campaign. I am quite certain saying that because I would have been running them. The lawsuit that you referred to was not filed by us, as you know and saw fairly well. Again, I would ask you to join us this evening in ensuring that the serious problems that are ongoing as we speak in Texas are addressed with. We are all Democrats. We are all concerned about the process being fair and open for everyone. Again I would ask you with all the reporters on the line to join with us in helping to make sure that these problems are corrected so that everybody has an opportunity to participate.
BAUER: I'm happy to answer the challenge and let other people speak at this point, Howard. But I will say that I'm more than happy to enter into any commitment that you might have to actually for the first time in some period of time stop attacking the caucus process that didn't start bothering the Clinton campaign until it ran a series of fairly extraordinary losses, but I'm still we can debate that at some point in the future.
WOLFSON: This is not about the process, Bob. It's about the way that this particular set of caucuses are ongoing as we speak. Again, I just want to make sure all the reporters know that it was the Obama campaign that made a very long list of allegations about the caucus process in Nevada when you lost that caucus. Let's be clear about the facts there.
BAUER: I don't recall filing a lawsuit in Nevada trying to stop voting at the at-large precincts that were thrown-out as completely meritless by a federal judge. If we're the one who filed it it certainly escapes me. It was filed by your surrogates and is part of a string of accusations you've launched against the caucus process on no principle other than the fact that you seem to (garbled) seem to get the votes you need to win. But as I said, there are others who have questions, so we'll let them ask the questions that they need to ask. I appreciate you taking the questions, Howard, and I thank you for that.
WOLFSON: We look forward to asking our own questions in subsequent phone calls of yours.
BAUER: Pleasure. I can't wait to hold one and have you as my first questioner.
WOLFSON: Excellent. Next question please.

UPDATED: Boonen Implicated in New Form of Motodoping!
In normal racing conditions the hamster is sleeping inside the rim. When the special button is being pressed, a carrot will be lowered into the vision zone of the animal. After that the effort put in by the hamster will increase the speed of the bike about another 5km/h according to the size of the carrot. Seems that the system is working, because the man is unusually successful. Is any other cyclist using this clever invention is not yet to be discovered."
UPDATE: Boonen has ALSO been accused of electro-motodoping, with this spy-video showing the Belgian pre-race testing the electro-motodoped bike: http://www.vimeo.com/1176776.

A school was annexed to St. Thomas Church in Leipzig 800 years ago which went on to produce a boys choir of world renown. In return for their education and keep, the boys sang at church services, baptisms and weddings. Even today the St. Thomas Boys Choir, which represents the choir and the school as one entity, is a flagship Leipzig institution. Throughout 2012 Leipzig will be hosting a wide range of concerts and exhibitions on the theme '800th THOMANA anniversary – have faith, sing, learn'. The Leipzig St. Thomas Boys Choir has a reputation for musical excellence which goes far beyond the boundaries of Saxony.
Thanks to the choir's reputation, Leipzig became an important, highly esteemed centre for music, and many famous composers wrote works specially for the choir. The most famous Thomaner cantor is Johann Sebastian Bach, who held the post from 1723 to 1750. A bronze statue next to St. Thomas Church commemorates the great composer. Bach plays a central role in the anniversary celebrations this year. The 'St. Thomas Choir Network' exhibition will be at Leipzig's Bach Museum from 16 March to 22 July 2012 and looks at the everyday life of the choirboys in Bach's time. From 9 May to 31 July 2012, the Bach Museum is showing an exhibition about Bach's theological works entitled 'Bach - Bible - Songbook'. It includes two Bibles from Bach's estate, one of which contains the composer's handwritten notes. Another highlight is the Bach Festival from 7 to 17 June 2012. Every year, this fantastic event attracts music lovers from all over the world. It is a major international music festival and in 2012 is devoted entirely to the St. Thomas Choir anniversary. Eminent musicians such as the present St. Thomas cantor Georg Biller will be performing the music of Johann Sebastian Bach in locations where that most illustrious holder of the post once worked.
Join in the celebrations and experience the magic of one of Germany's oldest boys choirs. Get ready to share in a year full of highlights in Leipzig!

President-Elect Obama Nominates Dr. Steven Chu as Energy Secretary
President-elect Barack Obama has nominated Dr. Steven Chu to be the next Secretary of Energy. Enlarge this photo.
President-elect Barack Obama has nominated Dr. Steven Chu, the current director of DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), to be the next Secretary of Energy. Dr. Chu won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1997 and has run LBNL since 2004. Prior to that time, he was a professor at Stanford University and a scientist at AT&T; Bell Labs. Dr. Chu is credited as an early advocate for finding solutions to climate change and for guiding LBNL toward more research on low-carbon energy sources, including renewable energy and biofuels. Current Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman welcomed the nomination, noting that Dr. Chu not only understands the significance of our energy and environmental challenges, but also understands the technical solutions needed to address them. That sentiment was echoed by the president-elect.
"Dr. Steven Chu is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who has been working at the cutting edge of our nation's effort to develop new and cleaner forms of energy," said President-elect Obama. "He blazed new trails as a scientist, teacher, and administrator, and has recently led the Berkeley National Laboratory in pursuit of new alternative and renewable energies. Steven is uniquely suited to be our next Secretary of Energy as we make this pursuit a guiding purpose of the Department of Energy, as well as a national mission. The scientists at our national labs will have a distinguished peer at the helm."
The president-elect also established a new position in the White House, the Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, and selected Carol Browner for the new post. Browner is a former administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is currently a principal of The Albright Group LLC, a firm that provides strategic advice to companies. According to the Obama transition team, Browner "brought the climate change issue to the forefront" during her tenure at the EPA, and she "established climate change as an important environmental issue requiring action." Browner's deputy assistant will be Heather Zichal, a former legislative director for Senator John Kerry.

Calls For Social Media To Be Censored In Spain After Politician's Assassination Is Mocked On Twitter
from the beyond-libel dept
As Mike has noted, after starting out with some of the most reasonable copyright laws around, Spain came under some serious pressure from the US to replace them with ones that make the online environment there a far less innovative and pleasant place for users. Now it seems that recent unfortunate events could push the country even further in this direction. Global Voices explains the background:
Isabel Carrasco, a member of the People's Party, was shot near her home in León, allegedly by the mother of a fellow party member who blamed Carrasco for truncating the political career of her daughter. Carrasco became famous a few years ago for occupying 13 positions in the administration and private businesses. In 2011, it was revealed that she had increased her salary by 13 percent, but this did not prevent her from justifying budget cuts in 2012, saying that "Everything little thing can't be free".
Not surprisingly, perhaps, her assassination produced mixed reactions from people:
Shortly after learning about her death, many Internet users started to leave comments on social media, especially Twitter. Although the majority expressed their condolences to the family of the victim, there were some that took advantage of the moment to openly criticize the politician, including mocking her assassination
The Global Voices post has a selection of these, with translations, if you want the details. Suffice to say that they were enough to lead to a typical over-reaction by politicians. Here, for example, is the Spanish Minister of Interior, Jorge Fenández Díaz:
We have to combat cybercrime and promote cybersecurity, and to clean up undesirable social media.
Others added their support. The health spokesperson for the PSOE [Spanish Workers' Socialist Party], José Martínez Olmos, made the following comment:
It seems to me that the moment has come to regulate social media because not everything is suitable and less so when it incites violence or denigrates people or institutions.
The Federal Union of Politics went even further in its rhetoric:
It is necessary and urgent to regulate new criminal methods that go beyond libel and slander, and criminalize the violence executed en masse through the Internet.
Of course, Spain is not the only country where there's a public debate about the limits of free speech in the online world. But at a time when new laws are already restricting what can be done on the Internet in Spain, it's worrying to hear calls for even more clampdowns.

While we're still waiting on a 2013 iPhone 5s, Android Central has already gotten the second versions of both their flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One only this time without any trace of Samsung or HTC software. That's right, these are "Google Editions" and that means they come with stock Android Jelly Bean. Phil Nickinson took a first look at the Google Play editions HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 and here's his take away:
If you can imagine running "stock" Android on the HTC One or Galaxy S4 — or if you've had basically the same experience with a custom ROM — that's what we're dealing with here, and that's what you'll get if you purchase these phones from Google Play.
Seems like a great alternative for people who prefer stock Android but want greater choice in hardware. As someone who liked the HTC Nexus One, the Google Play edition HTC One might be the closest thing to a sequel we'll ever get. It's really strange from an iPhone perspective -- where we always get the "Apple Experience" but we never get 3rd party hardware makers -- to see these types of variants, but I think it's a very good thing, and hope it's a trend that continues.
If you want a better idea of the current world Apple's next iPhone will be entering, check out Phil's complete first look, then come back here and tell me what you think. All software being equal now, at least on the Android side, what if anything do the big screen competitors portent for the future?

Just as Haitian Americans fight prejudice for themselves and their countrymen who wish to immigrate, Haitians in the Dominican Republic face equal or greater prejudice. Until recently undocumented Haitians were denied birth certificates for children born there. In addition to the continuing prejudice against children of Haitian descent, the lack of birth certificate prevented them from attending school past the fifth grade.

You hear about parents who take "discipline" too far all the time. But the story you're about to read doesn't sound like discipline. It sounds like torture, plain and simple. Cops in Utah say two women took hot sauce and poured it in the eyes of a 14-year-old boy to punish him for breaking a glass.
And this wasn't some one-off mistake for Robin Willette Rumsey, the boy's mother, and her friend, Krista Jean Miller. The two women have allegedly been torturing the child for quite some time.
At one point, cops say they forced the boy to smoke marijuana. They allegedly poured alcohol over his face, and police say they even locked him in a basement. That's on top of the hot sauce!
Does any of that sound like "discipline" to you?
Me neither. Discipline is a punishment to correct a behavior. Discipline might be unpleasant, but it's not harmful in the long run. It's something a parent should be willing to undergo themselves if they do something wrong. I take my daughter's Kindle away as discipline. I tell her she has lost her phone privileges.
I don't torture her.
This is an important distinction. We as human beings need to respect others, even (especially?) children. It's a pretty easy line to draw: what we don't want done to us shouldn't be done to others.
I know I wouldn't pour Tabasco in my daughter's eyes or my husband's eyes, for that matter. I wouldn't do it to anyone, child or adult. After all, I wouldn't let someone pour Tabasco in MY eyes. That's cruel and inhumane.
We wouldn't allow the CIA to do that to enemy combatants. We wouldn't allow prison guards to do that to prisoners.
Rumsey and Miller are facing multiple felony child abuse and endangerment charges. I'd like to say they should be punished with the sorts of things they were accused of doing to this poor child, but we are better than that in America. We don't torture our criminals.
What punishment should these ladies get if they're convicted?

Did Seth Green Introduce the World to Tebowing?
If you're a child of the '80s, you might remember 'Can't Buy Me Love,' the Patrick Dempsey high school comedy which hit theaters on August 14, 1987. Smack dab in the middle of the film, Seth Green, who plays Dempsey's younger brother, strikes a pose which modern audiences would immediately recognize as 'Tebowing."
Here's the other weird thing: Tim Tebow, whose above pose on the football field inspired the Tebowing internet meme, was born August 14th, 1987. Your mind was just blown, wasn't it?
While we wish we could take credit for this discovery, which shakes the foundation of both time and space, it was the work of tipster Jeff B, who sent the information to sports blog Deadspin.
Now let's consider the implications here. The 'Can't Buy Me Love' scene in question (you can watch it here) was obviously shot before the film was released. So Tebow, who was either in his mother's womb or hadn't been conceived yet, was somehow able to signal to Green to strike the pose, knowing that the movie would eventually premiere on the same day that he was brought into the world.
That's pretty impressive. While Tebow still might not be able throw a proper forward pass, we seriously doubt there is another QB in the NFL who is able to force '80s child actors to strike his signature pose.

Health care professionals have the expertise to know what is best for patients, and must have access to a full range of therapeutic options to use as they see fit.
Health care professionals have the expertise to know what is best for patients, and must have access to a full range of therapeutic options to use as they see fit.
They should not be burdened with administrative obstacles as they seek the most appropriate therapy. Health care professionals, not bureaucrats, should determine the best course of treatment and medications for their patients.
I have been prescribed Victoza to treat Type II diabetes. Upon transfer to a new insurance company, I couldn't obtain a refill in a timely manner due to their determination that this medication needed pre-authorization. I couldn't afford the medication, and couldn't purchase it and wait for reimbursement, which left me with no medication for two weeks. A few months later, I attempted to obtain a refill and was told another pre-authorization was required.
Pre-authorization for medication, especially when it has already been in use, is not a sensible use of health care dollars.
Balance is needed. Policies must not only take into account immediate costs, but also recognize that proper, early treatment of a disease can ward off future, more costly treatments such as hospitalization. When a physician prescribes medication, the insurer should not be able to refuse to cover that prescription until a patient tries and fails on a cheaper alternative not prescribed by the doctor.
We need to seize the opportunity this legislative session to ensure that our system sets the standard for continuity of care, formulary requirements and access to medicines and therapy.
Many Floridians face barriers to care when dealing with their health. We should focus on making it easier for people to care for their health, removing unnecessary obstacles that could deter patients from following necessary and cost-saving drug therapies.
Access restrictions can prohibit a provider from prescribing what they believe is the best therapy option for a patient. For example, these patients need to know there is a clear and convenient process to quickly request and override any step therapy or fail-first protocol if a doctor determines that a drug on the standard managed care protocol will not work, or could even worsen a patient�s condition.
A physician should not have to wade through bureaucratic red tape to have the more appropriate treatment covered by an insurance company.
Instead, there should be a clear and convenient process to request an override when it is medically necessary for a patient to have an alternative, more appropriate, treatment.
My physician has been treating me for 10 years. She knows what my diagnoses are, and how to best treat and cure those illnesses that can be cured. To have her excellent care disrupted by health insurance policy, with no provision for emergency backup, is unconscionable and unacceptable. Health insurance companies need to apply the same policies and procedures across the board. It should not be a matter of each company deciding to manipulate medical information to further their own profit.
Individuals should be responsible for their own health. And these patients should be able to work with their physicians to determine the best course of medication, rather than having bureaucrats make the final decisions on the most appropriate treatment options.
We support the Florida Legislature�s efforts to strengthen and improve vital patient access.

Combined Searches
Whether you are an SEO expert or just learning the basics of the search engine optimization industry, you will often find that you need to combine some of the commands that we discussed in the Advanced Search Operators section in order to get the information you are seeking. For example, you may find yourself wanting to determine how many pages on a site have a particular keyword phrase in their Title tag. Fortunately, it is possible to combine multiple search operators to find information just like this.
Let us further examine the case mentioned above. Because Title tags are weighted quite heavily in most of the search engines' algorithms, we often want to determine how many times a particular keyword is used in the Title tags throughout a specific site. The following query will allow you to obtain this information in both Google and Yahoo!:
site:www.sampledomain.com intitle:"keyword phrase"
In this case, we have two advanced search operators that work together as expected. However, you will have to keep in mind that there are many combinations of basic and advanced search operators that will not work. For example, you cannot combine a site command in Google with an allintitle: search as we have below:
site:www.sampledomain.com allintitle:keyword phrase (this query will not work)
There are a few types of search operators that can never be used in combination with another operator. For your reference, we have included them below:
- Every Google "allin" operator
- Operators that request special information (e.g. define:, stocks:, etc.)
- Search operators that are specific to a page (cache:, related:, url:, etc.)
Considering the number of operators that exist for all of the search engines, it is very hard to determine every combination that will work. In the end, discovering which combinations work and which ones do not is going to be a matter of trial and error.

Abandoned child
An abandoned child sits in a bed in the Saint Ivan Rilski home for medical and social care for children during a visit of United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) representatives in Sofia. The practice of leaving children to the state's care due to poverty or a child's disability goes back to communist times and Bulgaria now has one of the highest rates of abandonment in the European Union, with some 6,730 children left to the care of state institutions.

A heady Moroccan-style stew of chickpeas, bell pepper, and eggplant, accented with warm spices, is an end-of-summer celebration. Eggplant is too often reduced to mush when stewed. To prevent that, slice the eggplant into generously sized rounds, and roast them until golden, then add them to the chickpea mixture at the end of cooking. Moroccans would eat a dish like this communally, straight from the tagine, with little pieces of bread, but you can make it in any heavy casserole and spoon it onto plates. Either way, it's a fine family meal.
The chickpeas are enriched with the spicy tomato-red pepper cooking juices. Work them in a food processor with a little tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice for a delicious, quick hummus. Tuck it into pita pockets with slices of egg, leftover eggplant, and a cucumber-tomato salad. This typical Israeli street food is called "sabich." It's also known as egg and eggplant.

Opinion: Is Apple's Halo Tarnishing?
Page 1 of 1
Over the last few weeks weve had reports of brand new iPhone 3G handsets developing minor cracks, of 3G handsets offering poor 3G reception (without 3G, why bother with an iPhone 3G?) and of massive outages of Apples latest online venture, MobileMe.
Is this a sign that Apple is beginning to reach too far in order to bring customers the Next Big Thing? Will these very public stumbles tarnish Apples previously shiny halo?
Theres little doubt in my mind that Apple is now under more pressure than any other tech company to continually deliver new and innovative products and services. As weve seen in recent months, Apples stock price is closely tied to new product releases (so much so that record quarter profits seem to do little more than dampen investor enthusiasm for the company). Apple is seen as an innovator, and investors want to see the fruits of innovation hitting shelves and tempting customers to part with their cash on a regular basis.
So why is Apple stumbling? Well, I think that theres little doubt that the company has come to the point where its reaching too far. Steve Jobs, Apples CEO, said that the MobileMe launch was not our finest hour and in an internal email he outlined how the company could have done better. Specifically:
- MobileMe needed more testing.
- MobileMe did not need to be launched as a monolithic service.
- MobileMe should not have been launched at the same time as the iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0 software and the App Store.
Another aspect of Apple that is having an adverse effect on the company is addiction to secrecy. The company treats every product as though it was a life-or-death secret, and as such, this leaves no room for those essentials such as beta testing.
Im not going to pretend that beta testing irons out every wrinkle (just look at Vista Ive never seen an OS go through so much beta testing yet it was released containing some serious bugs). But it does help catch some of the more embarrassing gaffs. Apples confidentiality leave no room for any serious pre-release testing, testing which could have helped the company avoid black eyes such as the one it received from releasing MobileMe before it was ready.
When it comes to hardware, Apple is a victim of its own success. Theres no way to carry out widespread beta testing of hardware (its expensive to carry out and blows any and all secrecy out of the water) so most companies are stuck relying of early adopters to beta test new products and put up with a few issues in exchange for being the first to own a product. Apple does things differently and builds up considerable amounts of hype and publicity around every launch, which means that those early adopters consist of a large number of regular users who arent aware of the pitfalls of being an early adopter.
Something else thats affecting Apple is a changing customer demographic. Traditionally Apple enjoyed a small but loyal fan base that would buy products and put up with any bugs until they were fixed.
Nowadays, Apples customer base has expanded significantly and is now made up of a large percentage of people who arent interested in demonstrating mechanical devotion to the company. To them, buying an Apple product is a transaction, and they expect a decent product in exchange for the cash.
But there is another side to Apple. One thing that has to be said about the company is that it does do a very good job of keeping customers happy. In fact, Apple is one of the best companies when it comes to giving customers a no-quibble replacement product when things go wrong.
While Ive come into contact with numerous customers who have had problems with their Apple products, in almost all cases those people have had their problem dealt with and gone away with positive feelings about both the product they bought and the company they bought it from. Theres not one other company that I can think of that comes close to Apple in this regard. If theres one thing keeping Apples halo shiny, it is excellent customer services.

Besides fame, what do George Stephanopoulos, 50 Cent and Lena Dunham have in common? According to an article in last Sunday's New York Times, they all practice meditation. The article profiles a program called Wisdom 2.0, a series of panel discussions and conferences with a waiting list in the hundreds that teaches professionals "how we can live with technology without it swallowing us whole." Programs like Wisdom 2.0 that teach the practice of mindfulness meditation have become increasingly popular amongst high-powered professionals, especially those in technology and other related industries on the cutting edge of workplace innovation. Google offers an in-house course on mindfulness called "Search Inside Yourself," and Wisdom 2.0's customers include top execs at Facebook, Twitter, eBay and PayPal.
It is no wonder that professionals in top positions are drawn to the benefits of meditation. Studies show that meditation practice can increase productivity and energy while reducing stress and building immunity. While attorneys may not be catching the mindfulness meditation bug at the same rate as tech professionals and celebrities, some law schools are certainly ahead of the curve. The Berkeley Institute for Mindfulness in Law, which defines mindfulness as "the simple practice of moment-to-moment, non-judgmental attention," offers for-credit and non-credit courses for students, meditation retreats, and on-campus talks about mindful legal practice. Georgetown Law runs a program called Lawyers in Balance (LIB) which offers a free eight-week extracurricular course on mindfulness meditation and the mind-body connection. As legal jobs become increasingly elusive and the atmosphere at law schools more competitive, initiatives like those at Georgetown and Berkeley provide a welcome support system for students seeking inner calmness.
I enrolled in LIB during my second year at Georgetown Law. Each Wednesday evening our group of approximately 12 students and two facilitators met in a quiet lounge in the student center from 6pm to 8pm. We began each session with a guided meditation and would then learn a different mindfulness technique – a way to be totally focused on the present moment and to set aside, at least temporarily, the worries of the day. Our facilitators led us through a walking meditation one week, a drawing meditation the next, and even an eating meditation, instructing us to eat a grape, focusing on nothing else but its shape, taste and texture. We also went around the room and shared our experiences dealing with the pressures of law school and, as the course progressed, we discussed our efforts to integrate mindfulness into our lives. LIB trained us to alleviate anxiety about the past and future by focusing on the present moment, and helped us realize that taking time out of our hectic schedules to "do nothing" for just a short while would ultimately help us study more efficiently.
Michael Goldman, Co-Founder of LIB, remarks that those dealing with high stress levels are often advised to "put it all in perspective" as a way of calming down. But that's easier said than done, especially when you have an exam starting in 12 hours or a court deadline to meet. "Mindfulness," says Goldman, "is as close to instant perspective as you can ever get." LIB teaches students how to manage law school nerves by applying just a few simple techniques such as slow, deep breathing and guided imagery. As Goldman remarks, "How do you see the whole picture when you're in the middle of it? The answer is to breathe."
Mindfulness is more than just a relaxation technique. Programs like those at Georgetown and Berkeley seek to bring mindfulness into the practice of law and the justice system. This fall, for example, Berkley Law hosted a psychologist who has run successful mindfulness programs at California correctional facilities as part of its ongoing criminal justice working group. According to the Berkeley Institute website, mindfulness practice "can lead to a healthier, more just and compassionate legal system." The program aims to equip legal professionals with tools to improve not just their mental well-being, but the way they engage with their work: "As more lawyers embrace mindfulness, we expect to see legal processes and institutions become less adversarial, to cause less suffering, and to produce more compassionate and effective laws and policies."
No mindfulness programs at your law school yet? You can still learn how to incorporate simple meditation techniques into your study or work routine. To get started, check out this 15-Minute Relaxation Technique on LIB's website, or choose from eight types of guided meditations provided by the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center.

Marriage mash-up
Supreme Court | Opposing groups clash outside the high court over the issue of same-sex marriage
by J.C. Derrick
Posted 3/26/13, 06:33 pm
WASHINGTON—Advocates for and against same-sex marriage showed up in force outside the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday, as justices inside weighed the fate of California's Proposition 8—a 2008 voter-approved prohibition on homosexual marriage in the state.
Thousands on both sides of the issue sought to have their voices heard through opposing demonstrations: the conservative March for Marriage and the pro-homosexual United for Marriage rally.
The two sides appeared to have roughly the same number of supporters, who were mostly peaceful, although the groups did meet briefly at the same location. When that happened, tensions rose. Gay marriage advocates assembled for their 8:30 a.m. rally in front of the Supreme Court, and representatives of Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church were virtually the only opposition present in the early hours. Meanwhile, proponents of traditional marriage gathered on the National Mall and headed toward the Supreme Court at 9:30 a.m.
As the March for Marriage began to move up the street, some homosexual advocates began obstructing the procession. Police at first refused to stop the obstruction, so marchers sang "Amazing Grace" and knelt in prayer in the middle of the street until they could pass by the court building.
After more than 20 minutes of little movement, authorities formed a line between the homosexual activists in the front to push them forward and ahead of the March for Marriage participants. But as traditional marriage proponents marched through, homosexual activists continued to spill off the sidewalks to oppose them and create breaks in the procession. After almost 90 minutes, police moved all protestors to the sidewalks and reopened the street to traffic, causing some in the March for Marriage to turn back toward the National Mall instead of crossing in front of the Supreme Court.
Emily Zender, 25, drove from Chicago for the event and said it was no surprise that gay activists made efforts to thwart the march, since "they've done it before." She said such intimidation leads to there being a silent majority opposing same-sex marriage. "People aren't speaking out because they are afraid of being labeled haters and bigots, and that's not what we are," she said. "The other side means well, but they're just poorly misguided."
The Family Research Council, the National Organization for Marriage, Focus on the Family, and many other conservative groups sponsored the march, which drew a large number of immigrants, including large numbers of Hispanics and Chinese. "We want to be a part of defending biblical marriage," said Damin Luo, a 50-year-old Chinese immigrant who lives in Virginia.
New York, led by Democratic state Sen. Ruben Diaz, who is a Puerto Rican immigrant, had one of the largest contingents at the march. Diaz, the only Democrat to vote against the New York's same-sex marriage legislation, brought 32 buses to the event and addressed the March for Marriage participants in Spanish.
Patrick Wooden, who led the fight to defeat same-sex marriage in North Carolina last year, brought two buses from his church and several more from the state. Wooden, pastor of Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, told me they came "to say to the Supreme Court: 'Stay out of marriage.'"
Not all faith leaders agree with Wooden: Early Tuesday morning, a group of liberal religious leaders held an interfaith service at a nearby Lutheran church, which included Buddhist, Christian, Wiccan, and prayers of other faiths. Several invoked the name of Jesus, and one prayed that "our churches, synagogues, and mosques" would repent for opposing gay marriage.
They also quoted Scripture, including passages from 1 John 4, 1 Corinthians 13, and Amos 5:24: "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
A few hours later, the same verse was quoted at the March for Marriage rally, which included appearances by Alfonso Aguilar, executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles; Gary Bauer, president of American Values; Jim Garlo, pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in La Mesa, Calif.; Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage; Eric Teetsel, executive director of the Manhattan Declaration; and Bishop Harry Jackson, founder and president of the High Impact Leadership Coalition.
"When a man and a woman are in the house, there is health, there is healing, there is peace, there is joy, there is security, there is the rule and reign of God in the house," Jackson told the cheering crowd.
Doug Mainwaring, a homosexual father and cofounder of the National Capital Tea Party Patriots, was one of the final speakers. He told the crowd, "As a gay man, I can say categorically it is not homophobic to oppose gay marriage." He urged the crowd to ignore "the media's manufactured urgency" to legalize same-sex marriage and instead think about what's best for children, who need both a mother and a father.
The March for Marriage made children a central theme to their event, which was attended by hundreds of minors. Less than five children could be seen among those demonstrating in favor of same-sex marriage.

The Dalai Lama visited Mayo for a medical check-up, but he also came to speak. Sunday he spoke at the Minneapolis Convention Center to 1,500 Tibetans. In Rochester his audience was mostly health care professionals. The crowd of almost 400 learned he would speak on Compassion in the Face of Suffering.
Dr. Kurt Carlson is a general internist. He has read a few of the Dalai Lama's books. He was looking for some insight to answering a question he hears regularly at the clinic.
"And people say "Why, why should a young child have an illness that affects them in this way?" Carlson explained. "And I anticipate that we'll see a response to some of those questions why."
Other people in the crowd said they wanted to hear about Dalai Lama's views on international peace and his thoughts on Tibet's political situation.
As His Holiness entered the room the only sound came from the photographers snapping away. He joked with the crowd as he settles in with another monk who peppered the Dalai Lama's remarks with additional English words and translations.
He talked first about meditation and compassion and how one fosters the other. He said neuroscientists have studied the effects of meditation on the body and found good results.
"They also now begin to realize among the emotions, such as compassion, [it has a] very positive element when person meditate on compassion. All people who use it, who do daily meditation on compassion, the positive emotions, the left side of their brain becomes more active so that's good for health," he said.
His Holiness joked that he was telling the doctors their own business. He said there are some things that he believes are self-evident. He said hatred is bad for the body. Whereas, he said, compassion allows people to develop tolerance and forgiveness and health themselves.
That prompted him to think of his meeting with Muslim leaders in San Francisco on Saturday. He said the meeting was one of healing and compassion.
"When we know each other through conversation or through exchange then the true feeling comes," he said. "I told them also, in India, in the past, we Buddhists suffered in the hands of Muslims. I told them that's past. Past is past. Now today we have new reality."
One audience member asked what can be learned from suffering. The Dalai Lama shrugged, and said it depends. Sometimes a person can't learn anything.
"Instead of discouraged or sad, work hard. If there is no way to overcome then no use to worry," he said. "Accept the reality. How sad. How pity. Finish. Besides that, I don't know."
He also said if you are a believer in God, take heart that God has a purpose to the suffering.
"That may be one angle or one way by which you can be consoled. The non-believer I don't know. Just forget it. And then like that. Or [try] alcohol," he joked.
His Holiness added that even he sometimes doesn't learn from his suffering.

The Rear Rack
You like a challenge and think nothing of dangling 4 kids' bikes, a tricycle and Dad's road bike off the back of your car. After all, that's what occy straps are for. You can't put them all on the roof anyway- that's where the roof box with Mum's nordic walking poles is. You enjoy watching the terrified faces of drivers behind you while you're doing 120kph on the Hume.
Favourite destination: Seaside holiday parks
You try to avoid: Driving in crosswinds or under low bridges
Your extreme rebellious streak is matched only by your intermittent forgetfulness. As you lift your bike onto the roof of the car, you are sure that it weighed a lot less before the race. Must have been all that mud. It's hard to tell - you forgot your glasses. Now where's little Johnny?

Before the advent of modern refrigeration, ice was one way of keeping perishable foods cold. In the early 1800s, New Englanders harvested ice from ponds and lakes to sell abroad to places like India as well as for stocking icehouses at home. Ice could be preserved for months when closely packed and insulated with sawdust. The ice trade in northern New England grew still larger at the turn of the 20th century as people purchased ice to cool their "ice boxes" at home. This iceman stands with his cart outside an icehouse in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, around 1920. Note the steelyard for weighing the ice the customer purchased.

During the 2011/2012 school year, Synopsys Dublin volunteers brought innovative, interactive enterprise and life skills to 117 students through the company's long term partnership with Junior Achievement Ireland. Over the course of the school year, a small group of dedicated employee volunteers taught programs and attended events at four local schools – Mary Mother of Hope National School, St. Patrick's SNS, Hartstown Community School and Riversdale Community College. With the support of volunteers from businesses like Synopsys, Junior Achievement Ireland reached 70,000 students during the 2011/2012 school year.
Ourselves and Our World: Programs for Elementary School Students
Synopsys volunteers taught two elementary-level school programs during the academic year. The first was the Ourselves program, which covered simple economic principles of earning and saving money through the use of a story book, activity sheets, stickers and flashcards.
Synopsys volunteer, Mayumi Lyden, taught the Ourselves program to students from Mary Mother of Hope National School
The second program, Our World, teaches STEM skills through weekly hands-on activities that explore the role science, technology, engineering and math play in the business world. Studying how technology and communications are vital growth areas in the global marketplace, students examine entrepreneurship and develop their own business ideas.
"I'm really enjoying the experience of teaching the 5th class pupils about business and the world around them. I feel that the exposure they are getting via this course will really help them to start thinking about their careers and the skills they will need to achieve their career goals," said Evan Murray, Synopsys volunteer. "It has been a very rewarding experience for me."
Economics of Staying in School and Success Skills: Programs for High School Students
Synopsys volunteers also taught two high school-level programs during the 2011/2012 school year. The first was the Economics of Staying in School (ESIS), which comprised six interactive modules highlighting the cost of leaving school early and the value – personal, educational and financial – of completing ones education.
Synopsys volunteer, Ruth Stephenson, taught the ESIS program to 2nd year students from Hartstown Community School
The second program, Success Skills, as the name suggests, highlights the critical skills employers look for when recruiting new employees. Students learned about teamwork, communication and how to effectively market themselves. The program concluded with the students completing a mock interview at Synopsys. During the mock interviews, volunteers talked to students about their ambitions, helped them put together resumes and provided feedback on their interviews.
"The trip to Synopsys was invaluable to the students! Their competitive streak really shown through as the interviews were scored and it gave them a fantastic opportunity to see a successful, sophisticated company in the flesh," said Kirsty Dixon, teacher, Riversdale Community College.

NEW ORLEANS -The Lipscomb Lady Bisons moved up three spots in the South Region rankings of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
Saturday the Lady Bisons won their second consecutive Atlantic Sun Conference Cross Country Championship. They enter this week ranked sixth in the USTFCCCA poll. Their second highest ranking this season was fifth the week of Sept. 10.
"I always say that rankings don't matter and that is still true," said Lipscomb coach Bill Taylor who was named A-Sun Coach of the Year for Women's Cross Country. "But we love the P.R. we can get for it.
"I'm glad we are ranked up there. It sends a good message to those following us and to recruits. But we don't want to just be sixth."
Florida State, the host for the NCAA Southeast Regionals, is ranked first in the region followed by Florida, Vanderbilt, Mississippi and Georgia. The Bisons are ahead of four Southeastern Conference schools _ Mississippi State, Alabama, Tennessee and Auburn as well as Georgia Tech from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Belmont from the Ohio Valley.
"We are certainly right in there with the SEC teams," Taylor said. "It sends the message that we are an upper tier team based on the group we are in. Our ultimate goal is to beat all of those teams."
Dani Walker and Tessa Hoefle, third and fifth respectively, were named All A-Sun First Team for their efforts in the conference meet. Kendra Lobley, Madelin Talbert, Maggie Lawrence and Minna Fields earned Second Team All-Conference honors.
Taylor doesn't talk about polls and rankings with his runners. He doubts if any of them know where the team has been ranked this season.
His decision not to talk about rankings with his runners goes back to his days at Northwest University in Kirkland, Wash., when his teams had to learn to cope with a couple of national No. 1 rankings.
"It is more of an external thing than an internal thing for us," Taylor said. "If we are ranked low we don't get upset. If we are ranked high we don't get prideful.
"The rankings have nothing to do with our getting ready for the regional. We will just keep marching on with our goals in mind."
