The economic stimulus package would help foster the Japanese economy, thus helping stimulate the domestic demand and production Nguyen Trung Dung, Vietnamese counselor to Japan said. Vietnam considers Japan a big export market so this comes very good news for the country. Japan consumed $13 billion worth of Vietnamese products in 2012, mostly footwear, seafood and farm produce making them as one of the three major export markets for Vietnam. Although the economic stimulus package, by the nature, is the monetary policy loosening, or the devaluation of the yen, according to Dung. Japanese yen has depreciated by 16 percent from the time that the Abe cabinet came to power, which denotes that that imported goods have turn out to be more costly for Japanese consumers. In the Japanese market the Vietnamese exports will have to go up against domestic products fiercely. Japanese exports have decline in recent years and the Japanese yen depreciation could be seen as a move of the Japanese government to improve it. To pick the economy up, stimulating the domestic demand is now the number one in the priority task of the Japanese government. Hence, Vietnam would facilitate the chances to import machines and equipments from Japan at lower prices. Vietnam would get benefit from the Japan's economic stimulus package affirmed Vu Tien Loc, Chair of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), after analyzing Vietnamese and Japanese import and export items. Advantageous export items of Vietnam are garments, footwear and processed food while Japan is the country which has a high demand for farm produce and consumer goods such as mentioned. "A lot of Vietnamese export items to Japan are not the advantageous products of the country, most of which cannot be made in Japan or made at very high production costs," Loc said. The wave of Japanese businesses making investment in Vietnam may become more obvious, Loc also thought of these. Japanese investors now aim to make outward investment, set up production bases overseas which make products for export back to Japan. On the other hand, the consumption scale would determine the benefits for Japanese goods, Loc agrees. The yen decline would make the trade in more pricey. Next to the crude oil, Vietnam's garment industry is the second biggest exporter to Japan, obtaining the export turnover of $1.97 billion in 2012, equal to 6.2 percent of the Japanese imports,. Le Tien Truong, Deputy Chair of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group, said the export turnover to Japan in 2013 is hoped to reach $2.37 billion, up by 18 percent over 2012. Le Quang Hung, President of Garmex Saigon, also hopes that the demand from Japan would increase as a result of the economic stimulus package. The number of orders has increased by 10 percent in comparison with 2012, and that the figure could have been higher. However, the company had to refuse some orders because of the limited production capacity, a senior executive of the Saigon 3 Garment Company said.

The Norfolk Four sailors are out of prison, but they remain convicted sex offenders with all of the stigma and draconian restrictions that status entails. Now comes what some are calling the best program ever on the subject of why people falsely confess:
Why would four innocent men confess to a brutal crime they didn't commit? FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel (Innocence Lost, An Ordinary Crime) investigates the conviction of four Navy sailors for the rape and murder of a Norfolk, Va., woman in 1997. In interviews with the sailors, Bikel learns of some of the high-pressure police interrogation techniques -- including the threat of the death penalty, sleep deprivation, and intimidation -- that led each of the "Norfolk Four" to confess, despite a lack of evidence linking them to the crime. All four sailors are now out of prison -- one served his sentence and the other three were granted conditional pardons last summer -- but the men were not exonerated as felons or sex offenders. The case raises disturbing questions about the actions of the police and prosecutors, who relied on the sailors' often contradictory confessions for their convictions, and disregarded DNA evidence that pointed to a lone assailant who would later confess to the crime himself while serving prison time for another rape.
Airing this Tuesday night on PBS, The Confessions is incredibly timely. Two weeks ago, a federal jury convicted the lead homicide detective of extortion for taking bribes from criminals in exchange for favorable treatment in a series of unrelated cases.
But meanwhile, the four sailors from whom he extracted confessions continue to live "in a hellish limbo," writes Virginia journalist Margaret Edds, author of "An Expendable Man: The Near-Execution of Earl Washington Jr."
- In Michigan, Danial Williams wears an electronic ankle bracelet 24 hours a day. He cannot even work in the yard without permission.
- In Texas, Eric Wilson was denied admission to a school for electricians and cannot adopt his wife's son because of his criminal record.
- In North Carolina, Derek Tice washes windows for a living, his dream of becoming a nurse forever barred.
- In Maryland, Joseph Dick fears taking his parents' dogs for a walk because a school backs up to their property.
So, as a colleague said, "Tape it, burn it, TIVO it, watch it, have your family members watch it, have their friends watch it, have your students watch it, your teenage children watch it, tweet it, Facebook it, blog it."
Bottom line: Don't miss it.

I work in the automotive industry for a major corporation and I disclosed to a fellow employee that I have HIV it was then told to my superiors , then the following things started to happen to start off I moved to GA from So Cal to run a retail operation that's when I told this person my status then I was told by hr that it was nobody's business but my own I felt it was the right thing to do because in my field of work you are prone to get cuts and scrapes and for fear of possibly infecting other people I though this was the best thing to do after about one month I was audited which is really strange for being in a store for such a short time but I did pass the audit then I was cornered in my office by the area controller the audited and my DM asking me if I was healthy enough to do my job and was wondering if I would Like to step down from my position and I said no this has happened three times in the last month and the stress is getting unbearable to the point of wanting to quit I have been with this company for over 18 years and in all this time I have never been treated like this want should one do in this situation I am feeling desperate
Response from Mr. Chambers
I agree that, based on what you have told me, your managers seem to have an unhealthy interest in your health. Legally, as long as you are able to do your job, they should not be doing anything because of any "perception" they may have.
I really think you should consult legal counsel about this. There are attorneys on this site who may be able to answer your questions. Also, you will find AIDS Services Organizations in Georgia at this site. Some of them should be able to refer you legal assistance.
Meanwhile, document all these encounters, including the past ones. Note the date they occurred, who was present, what was said to the best of your recollection.

Kenneth Graeme Menzies, a retired Gilman School teacher and lacrosse coach, died of complications from an infection Sept. 1 at Anne Arundel Medical Center. The Stevensville resident was 84.
Born in Baltimore, he was the son of John T. Menzies, the London-born president of Crosse & Blackwell, a food processing firm that once made orange marmalade and other products at its Baltimore plant. His mother was Hilda May Ranson, a homemaker. They family lived at Braeside off Broadway Road in Baltimore County.
Mr. Menzies, who was known as Graeme, was a 1947 graduate of the Gilman School, where he wrestled and played football. He was a member of the 1947 Gilman lacrosse team that won the Maryland Scholastic Association title.
He earned a degree at Washington College in Chestertown, where he played lacrosse and was captain of the 1952 team.
"He was a great gentleman and a wonderful player," said retired Evening Sun sports editor Bill Tanton, who lives in Baltimore. "In those days, there was only one lacrosse division. He played against Maryland, Hopkins, Navy, Virginia, and Washington and Lee — all the top teams."
Mr. Menzies led the team in scoring with 28 goals and nine assists. He later received a master's degree in education from the Johns Hopkins University.
He joined the Gilman School faculty and taught American history in the lower school. He was also a junior varsity lacrosse coach for many years. According to a 1970 Baltimore Sun article, his teams won six A Conference championships, and he compiled an overall record of 81 wins and seven losses.
In the summer of 1970 he also coached the Lancers Club team, a youth club. Among its members were future Baltimore Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke. The team competed overseas in Australia and in Hong Kong.
"He had a twinkle in his eye, an amused smile, a gentle and calm manner that is very memorable to this day," said a former student, Clay Primrose, a resident of Mexico.
After coaching junior varsity, he was named varsity lacrosse coach in 1970, a post he held until 1974. His team won the 1973 MSA championship as well as a state championship.
"He was terrific with his students. They admired him so much. He was so popular. He was also a humble man. He meant a lot to a lot of people. He had wonderful values," said William C. "Bill" Crawford, a Baltimore resident and fellow Gilman classmate. "He was one of the most admired and popular teachers at the school."
Mr. Menzies lived on the Gilman campus and had a pet German Shepherd, Flicka, who accompanied him to classes and athletic fields.
A 1973 Sun article called Flicka the team's "unofficial mascot" and said that while Mr. Menzies "wasn't a superstitious man" he did not take any chances and took Flicka to Homewood Field for an end-of-season game against Towson High School for the state championship game.
"Graeme had a wonderful sense of humor," said former Gilman School Headmaster John E. Schmick, a Baltimore resident. "He also had a terrific spirit. He was bright and had an astute knowledge of the game. He made playing lacrosse a lot of fun."
After teaching at the school for nearly 37 years, he retired to Love Point on the Eastern Shore.
"He was devoted to his children and grandchildren and loved to go fishing," said his son, Kenneth Graeme Menzies Jr. of Severna Park. "He once had a powerboat and would cruise the Intercostal Waterway from Maryland to Florida. He even took it over to the Bahamas. He also fished the bay just off Love Point."
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 232 St. Thomas Lane in Owings Mills.
In addition to his son, survivors include a daughter, Evelyn Trenholm Menzies Naeny of Stevensville; a sister, Patricia Fusting of Timonium; and four grandchildren. His marriages to Evelyn Chisolm Cassels-Smith and Susan Reed ended in divorce.

Hi there !
As a fan of both Humble Indie Bundle and Archlinux,
I found myself confronted with makepkg incapacity to locate local files.
So i decided to write a dlagent for "file:" in makepkg.conf.
As a side note, "local:" would be a better name, but aur/worldofgoo and aur/anomaly use "file:" so be it.
It reads like this :
'file::/bin/ln -s $(zenity --file-selection --title="Select ressource %u" --file-filter $(basename %u)) %o')
It simply opens a file browser displaying only files with a name matching the expected one, and then symlinks it to the build location.
I am still usatisfied as it is possible to return a directory with a name not matching the pattern, but it seems impossible to prevent that with zenity.
I wanted to share it with the community, but there is no wiki for makepkg.conf, so I ended up here ;-)
Maybe it is even possible to include it by default (but then makepkg would depend on zenity, which is rater stupid).
Any comment/improvement would be much appreciated.

makepkg incapacity to locate local files.
Source? makepkg locates 'local files' which are included in the source just fine (put in some dummy download link and state that the file is expected to have a certain name and to be in the same folder)....
Allan-Volunteer on the (topic being discussed) mailn lists. You never get the people who matters attention on the forums.
jasonwryan-Installing Arch is a measure of your literacy. Maintaining Arch is a measure of your diligence. Contributing to Arch is a measure of your competence.
Griemak-Bleeding edge, not bleeding flat. Edge denotes falls will occur from time to time. Bring your own parachute.
My bad, I didn't make it clear enough.
The humble indie bundle games have to be downloaded from their site, using authentication.
Once you have the tarball, you can manually copy it to the build location, and it is indeed found by makepkg,
or you can use a file:// protocol with the line I presented.
In this case you get a nice file-selector window, and you don't need to know where is the actual build location,
which might be useful because /tmp/yaourt-username/package/src is just a bit long, and might be subject to changes according to config.
I'm glad it's useful to you, but you should be aware that the package-building process is not meant to be interactive. You write your PKGBUILD correctly, put the required files in your build directory, run makepkg, and it spits out a package - that's it.
You are, of course, free to muck around with that as much as you want.
Yes... I forgot that because building with yaourt is very interactive.
1) ==> Select packages (numbers) to install :
2) ==> Edit PKGBUILD ? [Y/n] (if yes edit, then same question again, until you refuse)
3) ==> Edit readme.install [Y/n]
4) ==> Start compiling <pkg> ? [Y/n]
4') select tarball with zenity
5) ==> Do you want to install <pkg> (or verify it)
6) sudo : enter password for <user> :
7) Proceed to install ? [Y/n] (pacman prompt)
So inserting one interactive step seemed meaningless but of course makepkg is supposed to be fully automatic.
So be it, this idea shall only stay here in case anyone searches for the same functionality.
Thank you for the comment, and be sure I will continue to muck a lot
Maybe patch your file selector into yaourt then.
Maybe patch your file selector into yaourt then.
Yes... I sounds right.
But then I would need to parse the source array of the PKGBUILD before calling makepkg.
Sounds hackish too, doesn't it ?
I will investigate
Hackish indeed - that's why yaourt is the perfect place for it.
DLAGENTS=( ... 'file::/bin/ln -s $(zenity --file-selection --title="Select ressource %u" --file-filter $(basename %u)) %o')
Works like a charm, thank you Layus! You saved my time.
Well, I don't know why, it is now produce error :
/bin/ln: unrecognized option '--file-selection'
Try '/bin/ln --help' for more information.
I change mutter (Gtk-Mutter) PKGBUILD into :
# ...
- source=(http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/$pkgname/${pkgver:0:4}/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.xz)
+ source=(file:///home/to/full/path/of/mutter/)
# ...
Is it incomplete or wrong?

Chamorro Red Rice
My dear friend Janie first introduced me to Guamanian cuisine several years ago and I have been a fan ever since. One of my favorite Guamanian recipes is Guamanian Chicken and last night I decided to make up some Chamorro Red Rice as a side dish. Chamorro Red Rice is a traditional Guamanian rice dish made with achiote seed powder (annato), onion, garlic and salt. It has a beautiful reddish orange color and pairs very well with spicy dishes. It's surprisingly mild in flavor and tastes absolutely delicious!
If you have any favorite Guamanian recipes that you would like to share, please feel free to contact me via the comments. I would love to try them! Thanks! Tessa
- 1 cup white rice (washed and drained)
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1 1/2 tsp achiote (annato) powder
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
Grab a medium sized pan with a tight fitting lid. Add canola oil and onion and saute until onion is opaque. Add all remaining ingredients, stir, cover and turn stove on simmer or the lowest setting. Cook until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender (about 15 minutes). Fluff rice with a fork. Remove from heat, cover and let the rice sit for about 3 – 5 minutes before dishing up. Makes about 4 servings. Enjoy! Tessa

Don't go getting you're panties in a bunch just yet, but rumors have been flying around the net lately about a new SUV concept being worked up to join the rest of the Italians in the Ferrari stable. The name given to this blasphemy against the name of Ferrari at this point is FS 599 Fuoristrada. Yes, the 599 denotes the engine stolen from the 599 GTB Fiorano already in the lineup. Things are so sketchy at this point that all the artists' renderings floating about that are complete flights of fancy. One is a sort of modernized hairy-chested study of the Testarossa, the other harkens back to the good old days of racing, yet another is closer to the design language of the Enzo and Fiorano.
The gents over at World Car Fans are reporting some very impressive specs including a target of 600 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque (~442 lb.ft.), all wheel drive routed mostly to the rear meats, and a less than five second run to 62. That's Cayenne Turbo and Cherokee SRT territory (only). The word on the tubes is that some kind of concept will be debuting at the 2010 Geneva show. In any case, if it makes it to the street, we look forward to test driving the eventual result, and then lambasting it with witty puns about Honda Civics and bad punk rock.[World Car Fans]

Kabbage Hits Purple Patch, IPO Could Someday Sprout
by Shelton on December 9th, 2014
filed under Online Business Credit
Online business-credit provider Kabbage Inc. said it has increased the pace of its cash funding to small businesses to over $1 million a day, according to Chief Executive and Founder Rob Frohwein.
The Atlanta-based startup, founded in 2008, last year provided $200 million in cash credit lines to small businesses, including Amazon, eBay and Etsy vendors, he said. Kabbage uses metrics including social media such as Yelp ratings and bank or PayPal account activity to determine how much and at what rate to offer financing.
Mr. Frohwein said that Kabbage will provide "hundreds of millions" in new credit lines this year, and has set a goal of $1 billion next year.
If met, that would put it in the ballpark of other fast-growing online financers including Lending Club, which makes personal loans, and rival business financer OnDeck Capital. OnDeck has provided $900 million since 2007, according to its website, while Lending Club has exceeded $3 billion since 2007, the company said.
The practice of using social media and other web metrics in lending is still new, and some consumer advocates say there are privacy and other concerns, the Journal has reported. (Read a discussion of some users experiences here, at website CreditKarma.com.)
Alternative financing for consumers and small businesses, which became more scarce after the financial crisis as banks and credit card providers dialed back, has been a theme in the IPO market recently.
Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc., which makes subprime auto loans and is moving into consumer loans, went public in January. Springleaf Holdings Inc., which has branches that make subprime personal loans, went public in October. Both have seen their shares rise. Lending Club has said it is preparing for an IPO this year.
Mr. Frohwein said an IPO was an option for Kabbage too, but not until at least 2015. "We're not planning on filing for an IPO this year. Right now we're focused on building ," he said.
"I think it's a situation where we've got to figure out what makes sense for the company. [An IPO is] a possibility, but it's not something we're planning on doing over the next 10 or 11 months," he added. "We will definitely raise more money as it's needed to expand. … There's certainly an appetite in the market for companies who are looking to do this."
Kabbage launched its automated online platform in 2011. It gets the money to fund the credit lines from equity investors and its own debt.
It has raised $56 million in equity capital so far, according to Mr. Frohwein. It was initially from angel investors, who included David Bonderman, co-founder of private-equity firm TPG, and Warren Stephens, chief executive of Little Rock, Ark.-based investment bank Stephens Inc.
Venture-capital firms BlueRun Ventures, an early backer of PayPal, and Mohr Davidow Ventures have also invested, and Chicago-based investment firm Victory Park Capital has lent Kabbage money.
Kabbage also secured an infusion from United Parcel Service Inc., with which it works to offer funding to non-online small businesses, said Mr. Frohwein. It also partners with small business software maker Intuit Inc., he said.
What Kabbage provides are not loans, they are "merchant cash advances. Kabbage is not an FDIC-insured bank, and it is regulated by state authorities. Mr. Frohwein said that Kabbage is exploring partnering with a bank to potentially provide traditional loans, which can be for larger amounts and can be re-sold to other investors.
The typical credit line is about $10,000 to $20,000, said Mr. Frohwein, often withdrawn in small chunks. Businesses pay more the longer the credit is outstanding, with rates ranging from 2% to 20%, he said.

Researchers discover liquid-free preparation of metal organic frameworks
|(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Aldrich Materials Science, a strategic technology initiative of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation have discovered an innovative way to design an important class of three-dimensional (3D) hybrid structures, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), under completely liquid-free conditions. High purity MOF products prepared by the liquid-free process may be ideally suited as rare earth containing materials for sensors and detectors, electronic or magnetic materials. The discovery also extends liquid-free preparation techniques to a large new class of 3D-structured materials and is expected to lead to new products with unique properties and suitability for applications heretofore unknown.
|A report of the Aldrich-developed procedure was recently published in the prominent peer-reviewed journal, Chemical Communications ("Mechanochemical synthesis of an yttrium based metalorganic framework"). Drs. Niraj Singh, Meenakshi Hardi and Viktor Balema from the Aldrich Hard Materials Center of Excellence demonstrated the synthesis of Y-MOF (MIL-78) using a room-temperature ball-milling process in the absence of a solvent or liquid grinding additive. In the process, yttrium hydride was ball-milled with solid high-melting trimesic acid to form Y-MOF (MIL-78). Gaseous hydrogen was the only by-product observed in the process. The liquid-free synthesis process yields MOF products of exceptional purity by preventing contamination from solvents and liquid residues.
|Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are an attractive class of highly ordered materials built by combining multi-functional organic molecules (linkers) and metal ions into a 3D network. The well-defined, highly-ordered, and readily-controlled structure of MOFs can be exploited in a diverse range of applications including gas storage, separations, catalysis, sensors and drug delivery. The presence of modifiable organic linkers in the MOF structure enables tunability of function and customization of end use.
|Current routes to MOF materials typically rely on solution-based processes in which the organic linker and the metal source a metal salt, carbonate or oxide are partially or fully dissolved in an appropriate solvent and reacted. The reaction can occur in a tightly closed vessel at high temperature or by subjecting the solution to microwaves, ultrasound or electrochemical treatment. Metal-organic framework materials can also be prepared by milling solid-phase metal derivatives and solid-phase organic linkers in the presence of a liquid, which can be included as an additive with the initial solid-phase reaction mixture or generated in situ as a byproduct during the milling process. Although often asserted to be "solid-state," such processes necessarily involve liquid components, which can act as liquid micro-reactors that control the reaction process and promote the formation of MOFs by the conventional solution-based mechanism.
|Until the discovery, it was uncertain whether MOF materials could be prepared in a completely liquid-free environment and whether new types of MOF materials and MOF materials of the purity required for many high-tech applications could be prepared in a cost-effective process.
|"Excluding liquids from the preparation finally opens the way to making MOF materials whose properties are not influenced by the presence of contaminants and, therefore, may be quite different from those of conventional MOFs. Our approach also avoids the use of solvents, which are often harmful to the environment, difficult to remove from the extended 3D networks of the targeted MOF product materials, and detrimental to the performance of MOF materials in many applications." said Dr. Viktor Balema, Manager of the Aldrich Hard Materials Center of Excellence. Dr. Balema further noted that "Aldrich's process should enable generation of unique hybrid structures with non-conventional properties applicable in numerous areas of modern science and technology, which extend from energy generation and storage to electronics and bio-technology."
|Prior to journal publication, Aldrich Materials Science filed a provisional patent application for the newly discovered procedure with the US Patent Office. "This discovery exemplifies the work being done at the Hard Materials Center of Excellence. Through this Center along with the Polymer Center of Excellence, we seek to enable innovation through new product additions to our materials portfolio, collaborations, technology licensing, custom research, process development and scale-up," commented Dr. Shashi Jasty, Director, Aldrich Materials Science.

FULL TEXT: Everett, Washington – A Mukilteo woman who tortured a 10-year-old girl with starvation, beating and burns was sentenced to 30 years in prison Thursday by a judge who described her actions as "stark proof of how low humans can sink."
Mary Mazalic engaged in "horrendous, gratuitous" abuse, including starving the girl to the point where the child was at risk of dying, Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes said.
"She did it for no other reason than deliberate cruelty," he said.
Mazalic, 35, was convicted of first-degree assault of a child, criminal mistreatment and witness tampering.
The 30-year sentence -- about 18 years longer than the top punishment under state sentencing guidelines -- was recommended by deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul as well as the lead detective on the case.
It was an option because jurors who heard the case concluded there were aggravating factors to Mazalic's crimes, including deliberate cruelty involving a particularly vulnerable victim.
Jurors deliberated for about three hours before reaching their verdicts Sept. 27. Several attended Thursday's hearing.
Mazalic clearly didn't want to be there and was hustled into the courtroom by a brace of corrections officers.
She was at times tearful, and, when the judge asked if she had anything to offer, spoke too softly to be heard clearly in the courtroom gallery.
The girl Mazalic abused is the adopted sister of her boyfriend, Derron Alexis, 43. He is now awaiting trial, charged with first-degree criminal mistreatment, also accused of beating the girl, and withholding food and medical attention.
The girl had lived in New York with Alexis' parents, but in 2010 was sent to live in Mukilteo. Once here, evidence showed she was beaten with whips, burned with lit cigarettes and punished by being denied food.
When rescued in August 2011, the girl weighed just 51 pounds. Her body had lost nearly all its fat and had started metabolizing her muscles for energy.
The child is now living with foster parents. She sat with them in the courtroom's front row Thursday, wearing a flower print dress.
Lance Smith, the lead detective on the case for Mukilteo police, told the judge that in his nearly 21 years on the job he's never encountered a similar case. The defendant isn't just an abuser, but also a practiced liar, he said. When she realized that she was in trouble, Mazalic attempted to get investigators in a jam, claiming that they'd stolen a handgun while searching her home for evidence and then broke in later to plant it in the child's room.
Those allegations were investigated by an outside department and determined to be unfounded, but the claim provides insight into Mazalic's character, Smith said. At the time, the girl was undergoing treatment for severe starvation.
Mazalic "was not concerned with (the girl) being in the hospital. She was concerned with me uncovering the truth," Smith said.
Defense attorney Max Harrison said that Mazalic was abused physically, emotionally and sexually as a child. It's clear she has deep-seated problems and should never have been entrusted with caring for a child, he said.
"Ms. Mazalic did terrible things. You can't deny that. She knows that," Harrison said.
But he urged the judge to consider a sentence of 20 years or less.
While her actions may have been be monstrous, "I'm hoping that the court can understand that Ms. Mazalic is a human," Harrison said.
Downes said the evidence about Mazalic's background is unclear, but there is no question that she knew how she treated the girl was wrong.
"The defendant's cruelty in this case was wanton," he said.

1. Once within a lowly stable,
Where the sheep and oxen lay,
A loving mother laid her baby
In a manger filled with hay.
Mary was the mother there,
And the Christ that baby fair.
2. God sent us this loving baby
From his home in heav'n above,
And he came down to show all people
How to help and how to love.
This is why the angels bright
Sang for joy that Christmas night.

Fab fragment antibodies are generated by papain digestion of whole IgG antibodies to remove the entire Fc portion, including the hinge region. These antibodies are monovalent, containing only a single antigen binding site. The molecular weight of Fab fragments is about 50 kDa.
Store freeze-dried powder at 2-8°C. When ready to use, rehydrate with indicated volume of d. water and centrifuge if not clear. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid. Prepare working dilution fresh each day. For extended storage after rehydration, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Note: after the addition of glycerol, the concentration of protein and buffer salts is one-half of the original. Alternatively, aliquot and freeze the product at -70°C or below in the absence of glycerol. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. However, the expiration date may be extended if the product is stored according to the recommendation and the test results are acceptable for its intended use.
1:100 - 1:800 for most applications
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
Cy3 is brighter, more photostable, and gives less background than other orange-red fluorescing dye conjugates. Cy3 conjugates can be excited maximally at 550 nm, with peak emission at 570 nm. For fluorescence microscopy, Cy3 can be visualized with traditional tetramethyl rhodamine (TRITC) filter sets, since the excitation and emission spectra are nearly identical to those of TRITC. We recommend Cy3 as a brighter alternative to TRITC. Cy3 can be excited to about 50% of maximum with an argon laser (514 nm or 528 nm lines), or to about 75% of maximum with a helium/neon laser (543 nm line) or mercury lamp (546 nm line). Cy3 has been used with fluorescein for double labeling; however, the use of a narrow band-pass emission filter for fluorescein is recommended to minimize Cy3 fluorescence in the FITC filter set. Cy3 can also be paired with Alexa Fluor® 647 for multiple labeling when using a confocal microscope. However, a better choice for multiple labeling is Rhodamine Red-X because its fluorescence is midway between a green fluorescing dye (like Alexa Fluor® 488) and a far-red-fluorescing dye like Alexa Fluor® 647.

Volleyball Completes Recruiting Class by Inking Five
Nashville, Tenn. – Head volleyball coach Kathy Roulhac has announced the signing of five additional incoming student-athletes to join next year's Tiger Nation squad.
Katie Burnett, Shauntia Carr, Ileanushka Maldonado, Taylor Patterson and Taylor Swayzer join previously inked players Arijana Anderson and Zoe Soestre to round out TSU's 2013 recruiting class.
"I think this is the best recruiting class that we've had since I started [at TSU]," Roulhac said. "I am very, very happy about the work [the coaching staff] has done in regards to looking everywhere to get the best players we can."
Roulhac went all the way to Wyoming to find Burnett who had played her last two seasons at Northwest State. While playing for the Trappers, Burnett racked up a number of accolades including Region IX Libero of the Year and a spot on the the All-Region IX, All-Conference and All-Tournament Teams. She also led her team to its first-ever district championship while averaging an impressive 5.3 digs per set.
"We lost some experienced players that could play libero, so to be able to bring in a former Libero of the Year [in Burnett], it was the perfect fit," Roulhac said.
TSU will also welcome a middle blocker in Carr, who attended Bowie High School in Austin, Texas. While playing at Bowie, Carr was named the 2012 District 15-5A All-First Team Middle Blocker. Carr also possesses great athletic ability, as she recorded three consecutive blocks in a match during her junior year and played center for the basketball team.
"The way we run our offense, everything is first tempo and Shauntia gives us that piece that we have been looking for," Roulhac said. "She compares favorably to [former Tiger and OVC Player of the Year] Shaquita Williams."
Maldonado, another libero, will enroll at TSU after a stellar two-year career at Polk State College in Winter Haven, Fla. As a freshman for the Eagles, she appeared in all 37 matches and averaged a team-best 3.59 digs per set. She even set a school record for digs in a game with 35 against Clearwater Christian College. As the starting libero during her sophomore campaign, Maldonado led her team to a 23-13 record and a fourth place finish in the Suncoast Conference.
"Maldonado has a huge upside, and I am looking forward to coaching her and seeing what she can do," Roulhac said. "She will make us stronger on defense than we were before."
TSU also picked up a setter in Patterson who will enter as a freshman after starring at New Castle High School in Ind. She was a First Team All-Conference selection for all four years and was chosen to be on the State All-Second Team, twice. Last year alone, she had 1,115 assists, 157 kills, 58 aces and 288 digs while leading her club to a 33-2 record and a Conference Championship.
"Taylor is a left-handed setter, which is what I always look for, but she brings a lot of experience and I expect her to give [incumbent TSU setter and All-OVC First Team selection] Erika Moss some competition," Roulhac said.
The last incoming player for the TSU volleyball team is outside hitter Swayzer who hails from Houston, Texas, but spent the last two years playing at Missouri State West Plains. Last year, Swayzer was chosen to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-American Second Teams. She also had 340 kills, a .207 attacking percentage, 23 aces, 456 digs, 47 blocks and 410 total points while playing an integral part in the Grizzlies' 28-10 season.
"Swayzer was our number one outside hitting prospect that we targeted, and just recently let us know that she would be signing with us," Roulhac said. "Her commitment puts the icing on the cake."
Swayzer's commitment brings TSU's signing class up to seven and provides a balance of offensive and defensive depth.
Roulhac and her staff will now have to ready her freshman before TSU's first match on Aug. 30 against Georgia Southern.

In 1973, SPICE was introduced to the world by Professor
Donald O. Pederson of the University of California at Berkeley,
and a new era of computer-aided design (CAD) tools was born.
As its name implies, SPICE is a "Simulation Program with
Integrated Circuit Emphasis." You give it a description of an
electrical circuit, made up of resistors, capacitors, inductors,
and power sources, and SPICE will predict the performance of that
circuit. Instead of bread-boarding new designs in the lab,
circuit designers found they could optimize their designs on
computers–in effect, using computers to build better computers.
Since its introduction, SPICE has been commercialized
and released in a dozen variants, such as H-SPICE, P-SPICE,
and ADVICE.
Learn more about circuit simulation from the resources on this site,
listed below. You might even acquire a taste for SPICE by
running examples online.

Jutanugarn making her mark with impressive debut season
Philadelphia, PA – There is a new name on the rise in the LPGA and it is 17-year-old Ariya Jutanugarn.
Jutanugarn, who is currently a member of the Ladies European Tour, has made four starts on the LPGA Tour this season, finishing inside the top five at each stop.
Her most recent start was at this past weekend's Kingsmill Championship, where she held the lead at the end of the first and second rounds before tripping to a 2-over 73 during the third round.
She bounced back with a 5-under 66 on Sunday to finish the tournament at 10- under, falling two strokes short of joining the playoff between Cristie Kerr and Suzann Pettersen to end in a tie with Ilhee Lee for third.
"It very enjoyable because, you know, today made me like really confident because I never played good in the wind," Jutanugarn said at the end of her final round.
And it is only going to get more enjoyable for the teenager if she keeps playing at the pace she is now.
Jutanugarn has earned $404,970 at LPGA events this season, which would place her fifth on the money list, and her four top-10 finishes would place her in a tie for third in that category if she were able to qualify.
Both of those results are better than those of her 18-year-old sister Moriya, who is the leader for the LPGA's rookie of the year award.
Adding to those stats is that Ariya leads the LET in scoring average at 69.43 and is ranked inside the top 15 in fairways in regulation, greens in regulation and putts per round. She owns a victory at the Lalla Meryem Cup.
She also has finished in a tie for second at the Volvik RACV Ladies Masters on her home tour.
Her other two starts on the LET have resulted in ties for 25th and 12th at the ISPS Handa New Zealand Women's Open and World Ladies Championship, respectively.
That's eight finishes inside the top 25 and no missed cuts this season, which was good enough to move her to No. 18 in this week's world rankings.
"You know, she just doesn't think about it that much and just bombs it 50 yards past me," said world No. 1 Inbee Park, who played alongside Jutanugarn during the final round of the Kingsmill Championship. "She's playing really easy out here."
Jutanugarn will not compete in the LET's event this week, the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open, as she said she will play in the Monday qualifier of the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic on May 13.
The way she has been playing, it almost seems a given Jutanugarn will earn a spot at the event and be a contender come the weekend.
But whether or not that happens, it is safe to say Jutanugarn's time on the LET will be short and she will soon become a staple member on the LPGA Tour.

Despite News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch's statement that he doesn't think Fox "should be supporting the Tea Party," Fox News and Fox Business relentlessly promoted the Tea Party Express, devoting numerous segments to the launch of its October 2010 tour -- the fourth such tour -- as well as hosting its chairman for softball interviews. [Media Matters, 4/8/10 [9], 10/19/10 [10]]
Consultant Proposed The Express, Saying It Would "Give A Boost To Our PAC," Highlighted Possible Friendly Coverage From "Fox News Commentators." Following the April 15, 2009, Tea Parties, Joe Wierzbicki, a senior associate with the GOP consulting firm Russo Marsh, proposed creating the Tea Party Express bus tour in order to "give a boost to our PAC and position us as a growing force/leading force as the 2010 elections come into focus." Wierzbicki also wrote in the original memo proposing the creation of the Tea Party Express that the effort could get "some mentions and possibly even promotion from conservative/pro-Tea Party bloggers, talk radio hosts, Fox News commentators, etc..." [Media Matters, 11/2/10 [8]]
Tea Party Express Was Launched By Republican Consultants
Tea Party Express Run By Republican PAC. The Associated Press reported in October 2008 that Our Country Deserves Better PAC (OCDB), which launched the Tea Party Express, "was formed in August [2008] by California political consultant Sal Russo and former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian." As their OCDB biographies note, Russo is a veteran Republican consultant, and Kaloogian served as a Republican. [The Associated Press, 10/17/08 [11]; Media Matters, 3/1/10 [12]]
OCDB's Mission Is To Oppose Obama And "Democratic Congress." On its "About Us" page, OCDB states that "we must stand up to Barack Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress." The PAC also solicits contributions by stating, "Help us fight the Democratic Congress!" NPR reported on September 26, 2008, that OCDB's website then said "it has one objective: to defeat Obama." During the 2008 campaign, the PAC hosted "patriotic, pro-McCain/Palin rallies" to "Stop Obama." [Our Country Deserves Better PAC, accessed 5/23/11 [13], 5/23/11 [14], 5/23/11 [15]; National Public Radio, 9/26/08 [16]]
OCDB Campaigned For Republican Tedisco. OCDB "campaign[ed]" "on behalf of" Republican New York congressional candidate Jim Tedisco in March 2009 by "broadcasting television and radio advertisements. ... Total ad buy is expected to reach well into the hundreds of thousands by Election Day." [Our Country Deserves Better PAC, accessed 5/23/11 [17]]
TPM: Majority Of OCDB Spending In Recent Reporting Period "Went To GOP Firm That Created It." On December 28, 2009, Zachary Roth reported for Talking Points memo that "[t]he political action committee behind the Tea Party Express (TPE) -- which already has been slammed as inauthentic and corporate-controlled by rival factions in the Tea Party movement -- directed almost two thirds of its spending during a recent reporting period back to the Republican consulting firm that created the PAC in the first place." Roth further wrote:
Our Country Deserves Better (OCDB) spent around $1.33 million from July through November, according to FEC filings examined by TPMmuckraker. Of that sum, a total of $857,122 went to Sacramento-based GOP political consulting firm Russo, Marsh, and Associates, or people associated with it.
OCDB, which built the Tea Party Express, is essentially a Russo, Marsh creation, as we've detailed. The PAC's site was registered in July 2008 by Sal Russo, the firm's founder. That site also lists Russo as the PAC's "chief strategist." Tea Party Express fundraising emails, sent by OCDB and obtained by TPMmuckraker, come from another Russo, Marsh employee, Joe Wierzbicki. [Talking Points Memo, 12/28/09 [18]]
Other Tea Party Groups Reportedly Accused Tea Party Express Of Being "Sham Organization" For GOP
Tea Party Express Reportedly Seen By Other Conservative Activists As "Sham Organization" Pushing "Partisan Republican Agenda." On October 9, 2009, David Weigel reported for The Washington Independent that other Tea Party activists see the Tea Party Express as "a scheme for Republican strategists and candidates to take advantage of a movement that was chugging along fine without them":
An argument has broken out, perhaps inevitably, between Tea Party activists and one of the groups that has laid claim to the Tea Party mantle. The self-described grassroots activists in Tea Party Patriots and the American Liberty Alliance see the Tea Party Express as a sham organization, using the political heft of the movement to push a bland, partisan Republican agenda. Privately and publicly, they accuse the Tea Party Express of being an "astroturf" outfit, a scheme for Republican strategists and candidates to take advantage of a movement that was chugging along fine without them. [The Washington Independent, 10/9/09 [19]]
National Precinct Alliance Director Called Tea Party Express A "Republican National Committee-Related Group." On January 25, 2010, The New York Times reported that Philip Glass, the director of conservative group National Precinct Alliance, announced that his organization would not participate in the National Tea Party Convention. The article reported: "Mr. Glass said he was also concerned about the role in the convention of groups like Tea Party Express, which has held rallies across the country through two bus tours, and FreedomWorks, a Tea Party umbrella. He called them 'Republican National Committee-related groups,' and added, 'At best, it creates the appearance of an R.N.C. hijacking; at worst, it is one.' " [The New York Times, 1/25/10 [20]]
Meckler Of Tea Party Patriots On Tea Party Express: "[T]hey Raise Money For Republicans." Weigel reported on October 2, 2009, that Mark Meckler, a national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, said, "Tea Party Patriots are very dissatisfied with the Republican Party -- we have nothing against Our Country Deserves Better PAC, but they raise money for Republicans."

Set up conversion tracking
With Google Ads conversion tracking, you can see how effectively your ad clicks lead to valuable customer activity, such as website purchases, phone calls, app downloads, newsletter sign-ups and more. The set-up process is different depending on the type of conversion that you're tracking, so the first step in setting up conversion tracking would be choosing a conversion source, or where your conversions come from.
In this article, we'll talk about the different conversion sources, and then you can follow the instructions for the kind of conversion tracking that you want to set up.
Before you start
If you want to find out more about the benefits of conversion tracking and how it works, see our article About conversion tracking.
Use conversion tracking to measure your AdWords results
Choose a conversion source
Conversion tracking helps you to see when your ads lead to conversions from the following sources. Click the links for instructions on how to set up the kind of conversions that you want to track.
What it means: Track when a customer completes an action on your website. This could be, for example, making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, clicking on a button or any other valuable action a customer can take on your website.
What it means: Track when a customer installs your app or completes an in-app action, such as a purchase. Find out more about mobile app conversion tracking.
What it means: Track when a customer calls you from a phone number in your ads or from a phone number on your website, or when they click your phone number on your mobile website. Find out more about phone call conversion tracking.
- Track calls from ads
- Track calls to a phone number on your website
- Track phone number clicks on a mobile website
What it means: Track when an ad click leads to a conversion in the offline world, such as a sale in your office or over the phone. To do this, you'll import your conversions into Google Ads by uploading a file or transmitting data through our API.
Tip: Track multiple kinds of conversions
Do you want to track multiple kinds of conversions from the list above? Just set up a different conversion action for each type of conversion that you want to track. For example, you can set up one conversion action to track purchases on your website, and another to track calls from your ads.
You can also set up multiple conversion actions for each conversion source. For example, let's say that you want to track two different actions on your website: purchases and newsletter sign-ups. You'd set up two conversion actions: one for the purchases and one for sign-ups.
If you're tracking multiple conversion actions, you might want to use the "Include in 'Conversions'" setting to choose which conversions to include in your "Conversions" reporting column. Find out more

Examination of an Advanced Whale Monitoring Technique using Passive Acoustics in Cape Cod Bay
Ying-Tsong Lin, Arthur E. Newhall, Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering
Mark F. Baumgartner, Biology
Grant Funded 2010
Grant Funded 2010
February 2011 update
Passive acoustic listening has been shown to be very effective and
environmental friendly for remotely monitoring marine mammals. However,
for better identification and tracking performance, it is important
to incorporate complete sound propagation physics in the localization
process and related design of an optimal acoustic receiving array for
use in the field.
We have developed an acoustics normal-mode, back-propagation approach
and technology that enables us to monitor the movement of individual
marine mammals that vocalize at low frequencies (< 1000Hz) over large
ranges and time scales from a single mooring location. This April, we
will examine and evaluate this passive acoustic localization approach
in Cape Cod Bay when North American right whales are known to be present.

Google Summer of Code
Google Summer of Code is an an innovative program dedicated to introducing students from colleges and universities around the world to open source software development. The program offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects with the help of mentoring organizations from all around the globe.
Clojure successfully participated in Google Summer of Code the past three years, and we'd like to do it again in 2016. This wiki page will serve as Clojure's portal for participation in GSoC 2016. We can coordinate participation here and on the Clojure mailing list.
Getting involved
Interested in participating in Clojure's Google Summer of Code? Read below about how to participate.
Even if you can't participate as student or don't want to be a mentor. You can still help by letting people know about GSoC at your local Clojure meetup, university, or other local group.
Getting ready for GSoC
It's still early in the process, but applying to be a GSoC student is very competitive. Here are some things you can do now to improve your application:
Get in touch with a mentor
One of the most important things you can do to strengthen your application is to communicate with potential mentors. A mentor can help you by reviewing your project ideas and giving you suggestions on how to improve your application. Additionally, when selecting students, students who already having good working relationships with mentors will be in much stronger positions.
Get involved with the community
Talk about your idea on the Clojure mailing list. This is a great place to get feedback on your idea and find potential mentors. If you will be needing to interact with one or more existing projects, get involved on those projects' mailing lists and talk to the people involved with those projects. All of these things will raise awareness of you and your project making it more likely that you will be able to find a good mentor.
Research your project
A good application will show that the you have taken the time to understand the project you would like to work on over the summer. This includes being able to point out what are the prerequisites for your project (i.e. specific skills needed to be able to complete the project) and how you meet them. Also, you should be able to point out possible trouble spots for your project and how you plan to mitigate those risks.
Show initiative
Good GSoC students are self-motivated, are able to manage their work independently, and handle difficulties as they arise.
Here are some resources specific for students:
Also, check out the general resources section below.
Becoming a mentor can be a fun and rewarding experience. It is also a great way to help grow the community around your particular Clojure project. You can get started now by posting suggestions for student projects on the Project Ideas 2016 page.
To be a successful mentor, you will need to:
- Keep in touch with your student
- Take the time to review your student's work
- Report on your student's progress at the mid-term and the final. You should be able to fail your student if he or she is not performing.
A mentor does not need to micromanage a student.
Here are some resources specific for mentors:
Also, check out the general resources section below.
Administrators help oversee the progress of the organisation and act as a point of contact for Google. Additionally, they help ensure that mentors and students get all of the help they need. They can also help communicate about the programme to the community.

Epic Fail! Disney's Epic Mickey 2 Sold Only 270K Last Year
Though Warren Spector hoped to continue telling stories in the Epic Mickey universe, the disappointing U.S. sales of the Epic Mickey 2 may put that idea in jeopardy.
In a new article in the LA Times discussing Disney Interactive's newest gaming venture Disney Infinity, the paper reveals the staggeringly low sales for the follow-up to 2010's Epic Mickey. According to an anonymous NPD representative, Epic Mickey 2 was only able to muster about one-fifth the sales of the original's 1.3 million copies sold during the same timeframe. At that time, the game was only available on the Nintendo Wii, but the sequel was available across multiple platforms when it released last November.
It's sad to see Epic Mickey 2 couldn't even be helped by the move to more consoles, and with Disney's focus now on Infinity, it's unlikely we'll see another Epic Mickey game. That said, it certainly isn't outside the realm of possibility that Epic Mickey might appear in Infinity, but for now, Warren Spector may want to retreat to the drawing board for a new idea.

About Martinelli Winery
Martinelli Winery is truly a creation born out of love. Founders Giuseppe and Luisa Martinelli eloped from their native Tuscany in 1895, with little more than their knowledge of winemaking, and set out to make a life in the new world. Over a century later, we can safely say that they succeeded. In their wake, Martinelli has grown to be one of the most important agricultural families in northern California; not just wine, but high quality produce as well. That being said, it's always the wine that draws our attention. In contrast to some California producers who make only one or two fine wines, it is the range of Martinelli wines that consistently impresses us. Sure, there's extremely rich, exotic Zinfandel from old vines in the Russian River Valley, often with freakishly high (i. e., 16+%) alcohol. But there's also superb Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast and outstanding Pinot Noir from the Blue Slide Ridge Vineyard. Of the Zinfandel, the Giuseppe & Luisa bottling is the closest thing to a fruit bomb here, while the Jackass Vineyard and scarce Jackass Hill wines are characterized by roasted fruits, game, leather, menthol and earth. At the controls of the fleet are winemaker Brian Kvamme, and consulting winemaker Helen Turley of Peter Michael, and Marcassin fame. Brian worked under Helen until being promoted to head winemaker in 2007, however both continue to share their passion and knowledge as they endeavor to make the best wines possible.

Hot Pervs
Most pervs don't present much of a dilemma. They have bad facial hair and freakishly large foreheads with receding hairlines and too many blackheads. It's easy to be turned off. Because they look like creeps anyway.
Then there are the pervs like Milo who make it much more challenging. Because, though on the wee side, Milo is gorgeous. Not my type, but still…he's a fine looking manchild. Stress the word child because he was at one time or another tapping Hayden Panettiere who only turned 18 in August.
The dead giveaway of course are the "child toucher eyes" – a coin termed by Michael K at DListed.com that describes perfectly why your loins want to protect a day care instead of quivering for Milo Ventimiglia.
Milo showed up at the Conde Nast event last night in New York looking sharp in a black jacket over jeans. As for the status of his relationship with young Hayden – she's been in Vancouver shooting I Love You Beth Cooper. My sources say he's been expected at least on 2 weekends to come visit her but on both occasions never made it. Not sure what that means, if anything at all.
Will keep you posted.

Fishing Report Lake Neely Henry 7/2/13July 2nd, 2013 Written By: Dustin King Posted In: Fishing Reports
Currently the fishing on Neely Henry is deep into a Summer pattern. Water temps are in the 90′s and fish are on the ledges. You can catch fish right now on a go2bait company 10in worm, and a go2bait company finesse worm teamed up with a tackle doctor jig head. We are fishing ledges ht go from 12ft and top out around 6ft. Usually if you find 1 fish you are going to find several. Be on the lookout for surfacing activity, shad flipping, ect….this is a great sign. If you can find a ledge with baitfish then you are going to be sure the bass will follow. Also, the stripe activity is really picking up on the main river! Be sure to drag a worm up under them to catch some quality largemouth and spots s well. I have several days available and would love to take you on an evening or weekend guide trip!
