Even with Floyd Mayweather not paying the suggestion any mind, Bernard Hopkins continues to pursue a showdown with the sport's pound-for-pound and box-office king.
The 49-year old is fresh off of a light heavyweight title unification win over Beibut Shumenov last weekend in Washington D.C. After the fight, he suggested a catchweight fight with Mayweather once the unbeaten welterweight king reaches 49-0 – at which point Mayweather will have also completed his six-fight deal with Showtime.
Given both factors, all eyes will be on whether or not the best fighter in the world will look to chase after the near elusive mark of 50-0. He hasn't completely ruled out the thought of such a fight, but for the moment isn't seriously entertaining Hopkins' proposal.
That doesn't mean Hopkins is ready to give up.
"He's going for 50-0. I'm going to be 50 years old. So I see a '50/50' promotion that has a good connection, a good title," Hopkins expressed while speaking with ESPN's Todd Grisham during a special Thursday edition of ESPN2's Friday Night Fights series.
Hopkins is currently eyeing a showdown with lineal light heavyweight king Adonis Stevenson, who first faces Andrzej Fonfara on May 24 in Montreal. Assuming the Haitian-Canadian knockout artist prevails, talks have already begun to set up a potential super fight later this year.
By then, Mayweather – who is an 11-1 favorite to get past Marcos Maidana next Saturday in their Showtime Pay-Per-View headliner in Las Vegas – will have also completed his September fight against the opponent of his choosing.
"Anything is possible as long as Floyd Mayweather keeps winning," Hopkins believes. "For everybody, you have two of the best minds in boxing that love winning, making records, breaking records. It would be the biggest urban fight ever, transcending racial barriers."

Working out at Gainesville Wellness and Performance, I get so much more than just a personal trainer. For lack of better words I get a lifestyle, health and body composition coach. Beyond the challenging workouts, I receive information concerning diet, sleep, eating and stress relief, along with a workout that is custom-designed for me and the current events in my life. My trainer is constantly taking notice of my current work load and life stressors and is consistently designing my training sessions to insure the maximum positive results. Working with the people at GWP has been life-changing for me and I highly recommend them.
Paula Crowley
What an amazing transformation! Working with Gainesville Wellness and Performance twice a week I went from sluggish and tired to strong and energetic. Simply put, I have rediscovered my inner athlete.
Before deciding to work with a personal trainer, it was important to me to find someone who was as much about education as the exercise itself since I believe the vast majority of us, while well intentioned, simply don't know how to exercise properly. Initially a little hesitant to work with a personal trainer, I soon realized that training was more than just grinding out a one-hour training session. My coach's knowledge of proper bio-mechanics, nutrition, exercise programming and tailoring my workouts to my fitness level, while progressing me at a manageable pace, has been key. I am stronger, have better work capacity and endurance for practically everything and most importantly I am living a much healthier life, vital for me in helping me manage Type 1 diabetes.
The coaches at GWP are great teachers; are patient and knowledgeable. I felt instantly comfortable and have never been concerned about injury while training thanks to their constant insistence on proper form and technique. I've also found that a lot of the basic core work that we do during training sessions translates to movements in my everyday life. Work tasks are much easier and I have way more energy. Plus I'm down 2 pants sizes! And training doesn't end at the gym, nutrition advice has been invaluable and homework assignments keep me going in between workout sessions.
The best part is that with GWP's guidance I feel confident that I will continue to improve and become increasingly more fit, and equally important, more educated about fitness.
Lori Weitzel
I have been training with my GWP coach for five years. I thought I was in decent shape but with Jason's knowledge of training and his passion for his clients I have achieved a level of fitness I could have never imagined five years ago. Under my coach's guidance I have left every training session feeling better physically and mentally than when I entered the gym. We discuss nutrition, sleep, stress and more so I am getting complete wellness information along with training to keep me feeling energetic, positive and strong! Gainesville Wellness and Performance goes above and beyond for all of their clients so after five years, I cannot imagine trying to stay healthy without my training sessions with GWP!

Reports of match fixing don't surprise Baichung Bhutia
Following EUROPOL's match-fixing revelations in world football, former India captain reveals that he has seen 'dodgy people' approach players in India and abroad
Even as the world of sport reacted with shock yesterday to EUROPOL's investigative findings of match-fixing in top football matches including the Champions League, World Cup Qualifiers etc, former India skipper Baichung Bhutia is not at all surprised with the revelations.
"I have always heard and even seen dodgy people approach players, match officials and even club officials here in India asking players to under-perform. This is particularly prevalent in competitive local leagues in places like Kolkata. Many a time I have seen some weird scorelines like 17-0, 21-0 etc in matches in Kolkata.
"Halka khelo"
"While in a game like cricket, one can fix a player or two to decide the outcome of a match, in football one has to involve at least five or six players to fix the outcome of a game, and I've seen people approach club players in India saying "halka khelo" (play lightly). So, if this can happen in the local scene in a country like India that is not even a pre-dominantly football-playing nation, then why would this not be happening in places like Europe and other prominent football-playing Asian pockets like Singapore, Malaysia etc where big money can be made," Bhutia told MiD DAY from Sikkim yesterday. Europol revealed on Monday that a five-country probe had identified 380 suspicious matches targeted by a Singapore-based betting cartel, whose illegal activities stretched to players, referees and officials across the world.
A further 300 suspicious matches have been identified outside Europe in Africa, Asia, and South and Central America, during the course of the
Malaysian talk
The 35-year-old striker, who was the first Indian player to play in Europe, when he signed on for Bury FC over a decade ago, also spoke of having heard of fixing abroad. "During my second stint in Malaysia (2005), while I played for Selangor MK Land, every now and then, my teammates would tell me of people approaching them to under-perform. So everything that we have heard of (from EUROPOL) is definitely possible. It's a shame," added the current CEO of I-League club Sikkim United FC, who retired from international football last year.

Happy WIAW, friends! If you couldn't guess from the title of today's post, I did indeed eat some eggs. After six weeks without any eggs, meat or dairy, eggs were the only thing that I really missed. I went and bought a carton of them from a nearby farmer that raises happy, free-roaming chickens. I was definitely happy to bring them back into my diet this past Monday! And- I incorporated them into every single meal.
Since I love the way that Cassie lays out her WIAW posts, I'm copying her idea for mine today. Disclaimer: these photos suck. Obviously I need to check to make sure that they are focused after I take them. And I will also choose a prettier cloth next time to shoot against. Oye.
1. Perfect Oatmeal (made with one egg white)
2. Runny egg on a piece of Ezekiel bread with mashed avocado underneath, mixed greens salad with carrots, cucumber and pumpkin seeds
3. Strawberry protein muffin (containing one egg white, amongst other things) and Sweet Harvest Pumpkin tea latte with coconut milk ice cubes. I know that the curdled coconut milk looks REALLY appealing.
4. Pasta shells stuffed with "cheese" (silken tofu, spinach, nooch, Italian seasonings, spinach, etc.), mixed greens
5. Sliced pear with Saigon cinnamon, Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea (both C.S. teas were bought at their factory in Boulder!). Sorry for the glare.
Welcome back, eggs. You were missed.
(This wasn't everything that I ate the entire day. There were a few handfuls of grapes and some cashews throughout the day as well.)
One more thing… for those of you that are into silly dog videos. I took this video of Lance and Jackson playing yesterday while I was typing this post up. They do this several times a day (chase each other around in circles and play hide and seek). I love my little goofballs.
Go join in on the WIAW fun!

The Looming Water Crisis in Las Vegas
Walking up and down the Las Vegas Strip, as I did while I visted Sin City for the CES 2012 trade show, it is breathtaking the wealth that has long been plunked, and constantly rebuilt, in the Nevada desert. Newer developments like the ARIA, where I stayed as a guest of Panasonic, are posh and boast the finest amenities. Limousines and sleek high-end cars rule Las Vegas Boulevard. Mock or marvel at them as you wish, but resorts like the Venetian and Paris pay incredible attention to details from architecture to amenities. Then there is the water. The Venetian's beloved ice skating rink (pictured above left, click to expand) had its last day on Sunday. The Bellagio still has its incredible water show. Fountains are all over the properties, including the one at Caesar's Palace that pays homage to Roman gods including, of course, Baccus, the Roman god of wine (below right). And the landscaping inside and outside are vibrant and full of gorgeous plants and flowers. You would have no idea that Las Vegas and the region's 2 million people were accelerating towards a huge water crisis. It first crossed my mind when I drank the water at the ARIA, which was acrid and rank. The bottles of Evian handed out at the hotel's gym took care of that issue for guests who did not want to pay for the bottle of Fiji Water inside the room. The barren, breathtaking, and I believe, beautiful desert landscape I could see from my room at the ARIA was a stark contrast to the towering palm trees and towering hotels around which I was surrounded for 48 hours. But Las Vegas has a huge water fight on its hands, as even nearby Lake Mead does not have enough water to quench the city's businesses, resorts and homes. And the brawl is reminiscent of what residents of California's Owens Valley endured over 100 years ago as Los Angeles decided to dig far in order to satisfy the water needs of the city's growing population. Now the divide between small towns, ranchers and farmers against Nevada's largest city could get ugly in 2012. As Jim Malewitz of the political blog Stateline.org points out, the drive to prevent Las Vegas from becoming thirsty is a tall order:
Though an impressive snowmelt this spring boosted supply when it streamed down the Colorado River -- provider of 90 percent of Southern Nevada's water -- the region worries constantly about the effects of drought. Under current conditions, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) claims the region's demand for water will eclipse supply by late in the next decade. And a study released this spring by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation found that climate change (or climate volatility) could reduce Southern Nevada's share of the Colorado River by at least 7 percent each year.That annual decrease is a huge threat to the Las Vegas region's economy, just as recovery appears to slowly take hold in recent months. The region is becoming a bulwark of innovative health care providers and information technologies, and they will all need safe access to water. Water stewardship must be on the agenda of residents and businesses so that everyone in southern Nevada can enjoy that most enviable lifestyle. The hospitality industry has got to have a central role, too, though that will not be easy: admonishing guests and employees to be more mindful of water use is a prickly task when travelers and revelers want to behave differently (and more decadently) than they do when they at home. Watch for water fireworks to mark Las Vegas in the coming year. Photo courtesy Vincent Casella (click to expand).

Curried Lentil Vegetable Soup
The wintertime is soup season in my house. From rich chili to creamy stew, I try to make a large batch at least once a week to have on hand for cold days. Something about a big bowl of steamy soup is so comforting, especially the stick-to-your ribs kind that is chock full of veggies. I am a curry enthusiast and have often tried and failed attempting to make my own version. It never came out as delicious as the restaurant curries I have had…until now. I finally found a curry powder that is remarkably close to the curry flavor I've come to love from restaurants. Until now, I had used Thai curry paste and always ended up with a very bland flavor. The curry powder for this recipe consists of fenugreek and cardamon which were not present in past curries I have made, and boy does it make a difference. I found this powder at World Market and falls under the Indian curry category.
The lentil and veggies in this recipe are what give it an incredible heartiness and, not to mention, healthiness. Rich in anti-oxidants and potent herbs, this soup is sure to help stave off a cold this season. You can add any of your favorite vegetables– I went with carrots, celery, bell pepper and kale. Each brings a different component to the soup and adds beautiful color. To add even more plant based kick to this recipe, serve it over cauliflower rice.
Let me know what you think of the soup by commenting below!
- 2 cups dry green lentils
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 cups kale, ribs removed and chopped
- 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tbsp Indian curry
- 2 tsp sea salt
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
- Cauliflower rice or traditional rice for serving
- In a large stick pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken broth and lentil, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add celery, carrots, bell pepper and tomatoes. Simmer 15 minutes, covered.
- Stir in coconut milk, curry powder and sea salt. Simmer 10 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally
- Stir in kale. Serve over cauliflower rice and garnish with cilantro.

Cucumber-Rye Tea Sandwiches
Little slices of party rye are a Southern favorite for tea sandwiches: "You don't see regular rye down here every day," Martha Hall Foose says. If party rye isn't available, use a cookie cutter to create rounds from regular bread slices.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Yield: 36 tea sandwiches
- 1 large seedless cucumber
- 3 tbsp. cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- 36 slice party rye
- 12 oz. cream cheese
- 1 scallion
- 1 Persian cucumber
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Using a box grater, coarsely grate the cucumber lengthwise, stopping when you get to the seedy center. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl and stir in the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- If using rye bread slices, use a 2-inch-round cookie cutter to cut out 36 rounds from the bread. Cover with a slightly damp towel.
- Transfer the grated cucumber to a colander to drain; squeeze out the excess liquid. Return it to the bowl and stir in the cream cheese and scallion. Spread the cucumber cream cheese on the bread rounds, top each with a Persian cucumber slice and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.

(WATE-TV) A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a Nashville school nurse who was sued after she visually examined a 6-year-old student who complained of genital discomfort.
A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a ruling published Wednesday in Cincinnati that nurse Karen Sliwowski is entitled to qualified immunity from a lawsuit filed by the student's mother.
The suit said the mother didn't consent to the 2009 genital examination so it amounted to an illegal search of the student, who's identified only by her initials.
The court said it wasn't clear the 2009 exam, done for medical reasons on a child with a history of bladder infections, violated the Fourth Amendment.
The case was returned to the district court for a new hearing.

A zero-day Java exploit found for sale in the criminal underground has renewed calls to disable the cross-platform runtime environment in Web browsers.The latest exploit of a vulnerability not yet publicly known was reported on Tuesday by Brian Krebs, author of the KrebsonSecurity blog. An established member of the Underweb forum, an invitation-only site, was selling the exploit for Java JRE 7 Update 9, the latest version of the platform. The expected price was in the "five digits."The flaw was in the Java class "MidiDevice.Info," a component that handles audio input and output, Krebs said. The seller claimed "code execution was very reliable" on Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows 7.The latest exploit discovery comes three months after two other zero-day vulnerabilities and exploit code were found, one by a security researcher at Accuvant and the other by a developer at Immunity. The flaws were in Java 7 and affected Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems running a browser with a Java plug-in.The latest exploit was unusual because they are seldom sold in such an open manner, said Chester Wisniewski, a senior security adviser for Sophos. "Granted it is on a members only criminal forum, but it sounds like the post was rather straight forward."

There are five existing populations but two of them have less than 50 plants. Population sizes change substantially year-to-year because of their dynamic habitat and mowing regimes. This grass has always been rare in New York with only six historical occurrences.
The large populations seem to be fairly stable. Two small populations have not been revisited.
The number of populations in New York has always been very small even though there seems to be much habitat. This stable trend will probably continue into the future.

My second drabble. One hundred words is really hard! This one is actually 127 words.
Reviews and constructive criticism are welcome!
Thanks for reading!
Chuck stared at the cover of the first Supernatural book he'd ever written.
Sam and Dean…..how could he write what he had just seen now that he knew they were real? Why had he been chosen for this? How was he supposed to live with this burden?
He took a long drink from the bottle in his hand and then flung it across the room in despair.
"I can't do it!"
But in the back of his mind he heard the words of Zachariah and he knew that he would. He would do what he'd been called to do.
He sat at his desk and with a shaky hand began to write. The words flowed from his pen as easily as the tears from his eyes.

Karen Dalton "In My Own Time"
The first time you hear her voice. Listen to track 1 on this record (see below) and you'll know what I mean. Karen's got "whoa" factor that few singers can pull off and has been lauded by the likes of Bobby Dylan, Freddy Neil, the Holy Modal Rounders, and must have inspired Joanna Newsom. Yeh, the first time you hear that voice, it can transfix you.
We tend to favor garage rock and country rock records with a high ratio of original material, and tribute numbers seem to rarely ever surpass originals, but this sophomore LP comprised solely of cover songs will dash any preconceptions. Karen didn't write songs, she interpreted really good ones. Her voice is described elsewhere in a million similar words and comparisons ("to describe it would take a poet" -Fred Neil), but all I'll say about it, she's got soul. It's almost like how Miles used to say it's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't; Karen phrases in a way that pwns every tune.
Songs by Dino Valenti, Richard Manuel, Paul Butterfield mix with traditionals and pop classics recorded at legendary Bearsville Studios, featuring a couple players from the Bobby Charles sessions. The sound is akin to that of The Band on some takes, but riding solely on a clawhammer banjo on others. It's something special though to close your eyes with this record and let her take you.Hard to get all the way through to Are You Leaving For The Country without feeling something; this one's a mover.
The CD digipak 2006 reissue, with excellent liners, is the best way to go, containing an additional disc of alternate takes that are truly different versions, proving the strength of the material and versatility of the band. No idea what's up with the backwards cut of Are You Leaving… but it sure would explain why people sometimes refer to this music as psychedelic folk. Her only other album, 1969's It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You The Best will be essential for fans, but the above record is essential for everybody.

"What drives me nuts is when I hit the wrong button and I just have to sit there and take it," she says. "It's like time stands still and you know in your head that it's only about 30 seconds but realistically it feels like someone's stabbing you in the eye for about a minute and a half - it's awful, it's so frustrating!"
Another PC abuser is Malcolm, who once hit his computer so hard he later had to get his hand bandaged. "My fists were all bleeding - computers are surprisingly tough," he says. What triggered the attack was his computer freezing, forcing him to lose a morning's work.
According to clinical psychologist Les Posen, who has a special interest in the way computers affect human behaviour, responses such as these are understandable.
"If you've been promised that your computer will save you time, save you money, do the sort of things you used to have to turn over to somebody else to do and you have these hopes and expectations and the computer doesn't deliver the goods, you can either be angry at yourself for being 'too dumb' or you can be angry at the computer and erupt in a ball of rage," he explains. "And in our society we feel like we always have to be in control and so that feeling of helplessness can be very stressful."
Professor Robert J. Edelmann, a British clinical psychologist who has conducted research into workplace stress, has a similar view.
"Unfortunately it's assumed that PCs can go on making us more and more efficient though this ignores the fact that we cannot function past a certain capacity," he says. "Bosses and others keep making deadlines tighter and tighter until they are almost unrealistic - imagine the anger when you have almost got there with a few minutes to spare and 'fatal error' comes up as you attempt to save your document - I think we've all been there! Not many of us just walk calmly away and go, 'Ah well, that's life!"'
One of the reasons we get so angry at our PC is that we often forget it's just a machine.
"People will often project onto their computer a variety of feelings and talk to them and treat them as if they had human qualities," Posen says. "Many name their computer and personalise them with pictures and background images - and so it surprises them when it doesn't do what they want it to and, like a disobedient child, they get angry at it."
Edelmann goes even further, saying we sometimes see our PCs as an extension of ourselves.
"We set about customising and personalising the 'machine' so that we are 'working at it' and 'using the software to help us'," he says. "So, unlike a car that just takes us from A to B while other irritating road users may annoy us - that is, road rage is directed towards other people, not our own car - the computer is really an extension of us which lets us down personally when it goes wrong."
Another common theory is that the rage stems from us not understanding the computer's limits.
"There is an expectation many people new to computers have that it [their PC] ought to be doing much more than it can and so it's upsetting when they later discover it doesn't quite live up to their expectations," Posen says. "At the same time, many people are afraid of computers and they treat them as if something terrible will happen if they press the wrong button, so people can have all sorts of strong negative feelings toward their computer system."
Peter Keats, head of the IT school at Sydney University, agrees.
"In terms of software, people's expectations are higher than the software engineers of the world can achieve at the moment," he says. "The spread of computers into the community has taken many academics and researchers by surprise - 20 years ago we didn't expect them to be everywhere. And usability, and how people can use computers better, is a long-term problem and it isn't going to be solved quickly - we're really just starting."
Andrew Lampert, a research engineer at CSIRO's Intelligent Interactive Technology team (which focuses on making computers more intuitive to use), also believes usability will improve in time. But he adds that existing software could nonetheless have been made less frustrating if programmers and designers had simply spent more time thinking about how people were likely to use their products.
"A lot of the time usability is an afterthought in current software," he says. "I know that in a lot of software development usability only gets in the door right toward the end when you're about to release the product - so usability isn't the major concern right up front when designing software."
Edelmann has a slightly different perspective on this, saying that PCs are initially easy to use but difficult to understand.
"Most of us computer illiterates can make adequate use of the PC but have no clue what to do when a minor error occurs," he says. "Most people over the age of 25 or 30 are self-taught and even those that are taught don't really understand computers - they know how to use them but not how they work. And most PC support, whether it's provided in-house, by one's firm, or by the supplier, is not adequate."
The simple fact that computers can't talk back also adds to the level of computer rage. Not only is it easier to yell at an inanimate object than a flesh-and-blood person but, as Dr Nadine Marcus, lecturer in human-computer interaction at the University of NSW, points out, they can't help you fix the problem.
"When something goes wrong you can't get feedback and there's no room for communication as to solving the problem - and it certainly increases the frustration level because you have to fix it yourself, often without enough knowledge," she says. "Sometimes, people aren't empowered with enough knowledge and so they're left in a situation where they feel like they can't solve the problem."

Top 5 ways to beat computer rage
The next time you lose your cool and end up punishing your computer, don't feel bad - at least you didn't make the news. Two men - both Americans - hit the headlines this year by shooting their computers.
In January, police were called to an apartment block in Boulder, Colorado, after neighbours saw a man waving a handgun and yelling that he "wanted to kill" the "bitch". The police, thinking it was a violent domestic row, then called in a SWAT team and the building was evacuated. It didn't take long, however, before the rifle-equipped SWAT team realised the man was simply suffering computer rage and that the gun was actually a plastic pellet pistol. No charges were laid.
Only two months later in the same US state - Colorado must have poor PC support - an office worker in Lafayette walked into a nearby bar (which he also owned) with his laptop, told the customers to cover their ears, and then shot his laptop four times. It was later hung on the bar wall like a hunting trophy. Unlike the other gun-toting rager, however, he was arrested.

Is UC Irvine safe for Jews?
That's the title of a cover story in this week's L.A. Jewish Journal. There have been virtually no reports of violence at the university. But comfortable for Jews, especially those visibly pro-Israel? Well, that's a better question, and one with no clear answer.

Estudo de caso - clone do Basecamp
Quando vemos muitos tutoriais, artigos, etc, ficamos felizes com a idéia do "é bem documentado". A documentação é fundamental, mas em casos como o Drupal, a grande sacada é o "mão na massa", porque os módulos estão ai, todos prontos, uma enorme caixa de Lego, aonde o que vai fazer a diferença é justamente sabermos como encaixar cada peça, aonde mexer, como ajustar, etc. Com isso, nada melhor do que um estudo de caso, aonde vemos a situação a ser resolvida, botamos a faca nos dentes e partimos para cima!Read more
First off, I just joined this group and I'd have to say it's a damn good idea and needed.
I know a lot of people in the community use 37 Signals' Basecamp for their projects and for myself, one thing that has been extremely annoying is the fact that you can never have a central place to go to that aggregates all of your to do list items or milestones from all projects to the same place.

Class of 2013: Are we ready for the real world?
The latest of our entries in an Irish Independent student journalist competition, in association with Campus.ie
ABOUT to graduate? It's okay if you don't feel quite ready for the real world, writes Hannah Popham
A lot of us are supposedly a direct celebration of Ireland's bizarre two-goal triumph which somehow led us to the quarter finals of the World Cup in Rome in June 1990.
And this time four years ago, we went down in Irish educational history as the only Leaving Certificate cohort ever to see an exam and text each other exactly what was on it, only to be outsmarted and forced to sit a different exam paper on a Saturday. Communal cheating - it should have worked! Overcome by stress, I (like many others I can only assume), came home, watched Over the Hedge and slept for the rest of the day. The joke was on us in the end. But as it gears up to our final exam season, is it right to assume that the class of 2013 have all successfully transgressed smoothly into a state of adulthood?
Last week, as I sat mid-row in a dark theatre in Trinity Arts Block, my lecturer began to deviate from the usual "well, you've been a pleasure to teach and I'm going to ignore the fact that this is the second lecture I have ever seen some of you in" pleasantries and said something that made me my skin prickle. "I hope you are successful in whatever you all go on to do," she gushed, "… whatever that may be"(a polite nod to the total absence of a direct career route from an arts degree).
This was it: 'We've sculpted you into educated, hopefully functional (but somewhat pretentious) adults; go and make something of yourself'. Am I a functional adult? I wondered. Are any of the 'class of 2013'? I had surpassed my twenty second birthday, managed to bounce through eight semesters of a degree and sort of learned how to make myself a somewhat edible dinner. Surely that must count for something?
It's been completely overdone with sentimental Facebook statuses, but this year has flown by in what has seemed like only a few months. I'm starting to wish that the torturous nine-month gestation period of writing a thesis had gone by just a tiny bit slower, and that I'd have made time for all those beers in the Pav, campus parties and finally gaining access to one of Trinity's many secret spots which I missed in the name of 'Responsibility and the Lack of Desire to Be Unemployed.'
Maybe final year assignments are a cheap way of conditioning students for the first years of parenthood: here's a period of your life that should be the most memorable, in which you will have the least time, money and energy to enjoy it.
We've been in college when the Queen popped in to see the Harry Potter library and Barack Obama had pints of Guinness in Offaly. We've witnessed Ireland winning the Six Nations, we elected Michael D Higgins as President, and allegedly there was one day last year when the sun actually shined. Now that it is finally time to graduate, what will the class of 2013 have to contribute to society?
Those I know who are organised enough to have a job sorted have been snapped up by the business world; dazzling new shirts and inevitable terror in tow. And as for the rest of us 105,762 beautiful new babies born in Ireland between 1990 and 1991? Just like when we were shiny eighteen year olds, I think there may well be something up our sleeves again.

The problem is that the semantics of incorporating HTML "chunks" into other HTML must be rigorously defined, which the OBJECT draft does not do. Are CSS properties inherited?

Should a validator validate the content within the box as if it were part of the original stream?

Duck Care
ArticleThursday 09 December 2010
Ducks can be looked after in a number of ways. You might have a coop in your back garden or modern housing for a commercial farm. Duck care is important, they are quite hardy animals but they have some basic care requirements. This article will give you some information on duck care and how to make sure that your ducks are healthy.
Caring for Ducks – Top Tips
- You must give your ducks protection from harsh weather and predators. This means they will need a coop or shelter that will keep the weather out and that is also fox proof.
- Ducks enjoy spending most of their time outside and they do not mind a bit of rain however they require a clean, dry sheltered area where they can rest. This dry areas can also be used for preening their feathers and waterproof their plumage. Giving ducks a space to do this is important so they can be protected and warm.
- Another important aspect of duck care is keeping clean water for drinking. Water for swimming is not essential but if you live in a warm climate then you should try and provide some water for swimming.
- You should feed ducks a diet which supports all of their nutritional needs. Do not buy cheap food that leaves them lacking in nutrients or vitamins.
- Ducks need adequate light stimulation in order to lay eggs.
- You should clean out the duck shelters regularly so that waste doesn't build up inside.

One Melvillean concern that I don't think I've mentioned too much before—except in the context of White-Jacket—has to do with clothing. In that novel, the narrator's white jacket seems to determine nearly all that befalls him and multiple times nearly costs him his life. In Redburn, also, clothing is important. Redburn takes great care choosing his clothes, but they are all wrong for his life as a sailor and determine how he is treated on board ship. Later, when he befriends a wealthy young man, Redburn wears his clothes and is temporarily transformed into a man about town rather than a penniless sailor. The motif occurs elsewhere, and seems closely related to issues like tattooing in both Typee and Moby-Dick.
Israel Potter abounds in costume changes, and whenever Israel dons a new set of clothes he is transformed. The first such transformation occurs during his escape from the British authorities; he exchanges his sailors' clothes with a pauper. The pauper has only rags but Israel needs a disguise no matter what.
Israel looked suddenly metamorphosed from youth to old age; just like an old man of eighty he looked. But indeed, dull dreary adversity was now in store for him; and adversity, come it at eighteen or eighty, is the true old age of man. The dress befitted the fate.
Israel becomes a pauper, now, hiding from the authorities, sleeping in haylofts, going with hardly any food. He finds himself a job in the garden of a benevolent knight, but is too weak to work very hard until the knight takes pity, feeds him, and gives him a new set of cast-off clothes.
Later Israel will receive a very special article of clothing: shoes with false heels, to enable him to transport secret documents from sympathizers in England to Benjamin Franklin in France. His shoes have transformed him into a spy.
Israel is so used to this mode of judging men by their outfit that he hardly knows what to make of someone like John Paul Jones, who does not seem to fit the mold: "Israel thought to himself that seldom before had he seen such a being. Though dressed à-la-mode, he did not seem to be altogether civilized."
Our hero will finally be dressed à-la-mode himself, if briefly, to provide one of the most comical moments in the book. He's returned to his sympathizer friends in England to carry out one last round of spying, and has been secreted in an Elizabethan-era priest-hole until suspicion in the neighborhood dies down. But his benefactor fails to reappear in the allotted time, and Israel begins to fear being shut up in the walls of his house forever. He ventures out and comes to realize that his friend has suddenly died, and no one else knows Israel is there at all. His brilliant plan of escape is to dress himself in his dead friend's clothes and simply walk out of the house. If anyone should be roused in the night they will think him a ghost. And again, he is transformed.
But after the first feeling of self-satisfaction with his anticipated success had left him, it was not without some superstitious embarrassment that Israel felt himself encased in a dead man's broadcloth; nay, in the very coat in which the deceased had no doubt fallen down in his fit. By degrees he began to feel almost as unreal and shadowy as the shade whose part he intended to enact.
It doesn't last; he can't wear the clothes out and about in broad daylight, for fear of being caught, so he swaps again, this time with a scarecrow. Which he also is forced, nearly as comically, to imitate.
What is inside all these suits of clothes that can take on their characteristics, but a straw man? It is tempting to say Israel is an everyman, but I suppose more accurate to call him an anyman. You know, just like all us Americans.

Innovative educator Joe Clark brings his ideas to Savannah
He will speak as part of the Economic Opportunity Authority's Dialogue Project.
By Jan Skutch
Savannah Morning News
An educator who turned a violent New Jersey high school into a model for learning brings his program to turn schools and students around to Savannah next week.
Joe Clark, a former Army drill instructor, took skills at turning recruits into men and reinvented education at troubled Eastside High School in Paterson, N.J. His work there won him acclaim and made him the subject of the movie "Lean On Me," starring Morgan Freeman as Clark.
His appearance here -- 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Savannah Civic Center -- is part of the Economic Opportunity Authority's Dialogue Project designed to alter youth behavior. In addition to EOC, Dialogues and Options, Parents for Community Health and the Georgia Commission for National Community Service are sponsoring Clark's visit.
Clark's mission is to instill high expectations and discipline into the classroom so that teaching can take place.
On a day during his first week at Eastside, Clark expelled 300 students for fighting, vandalism, drug possession, profanity or abusing teachers. After two years, the school was declared a model school by New Jersey's governor. Clark was named one of the nation's 10 Principals of Leadership in 1986.
Clark resigned at Eastside after seven years and is now director of the Essex County, a juvenile detention center in Newark, N.J.
For more information, call Judy Fields Davis, EOA Youth-at-Risk coordinator at 234-1156 or 238-2960, ext. 124.

Opening Up the Outdoors: Exploring the Relationship between the Indoor and Outdoor Environments of a Centre.
Stephenson, Alison
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v10 n1 p29-38 2002
Examined children's play in indoor and outdoor environments at a New Zealand child care center. Identified four dimensions of difference illuminating the relationship between outdoor and indoor playspaces and the play occurring there: physical versus constructive play, change and stability continuum, freedom and control dimension, and differences in adult-child interactions. Suggested that indoors may be viewed as an encompassing environment and outside as an open environment. (Author/KB)

I'm using the fabulous iOS Charts library (https://github.com/danielgindi/ios-charts) and I'm having a hard time finding anything to support this behavior in the documentation. I'd like to force the y-axis to always display a range from 0-35. Currently, if I only have one data entry in at say (0, 9) the y-axis will display its range as 0-9. However when I add another entry at (1, 32) suddenly I can see the top of the graph at 35.
There are three methods that look promising (because they're related) but they aren't quite providing the type of behavior that I'm looking for.
Take a look at below properties. Should be able to solve your problem.
/// A custom minimum value for this axis.
/// If set, this value will not be calculated automatically depending on the provided data.
/// Use resetCustomAxisMin() to undo this.
/// Do not forget to set startAtZeroEnabled = false if you use this method.
/// Otherwise, the axis-minimum value will still be forced to 0.
public var customAxisMin = Double.NaN
/// Set a custom maximum value for this axis.
/// If set, this value will not be calculated automatically depending on the provided data.
/// Use resetCustomAxisMax() to undo this.
public var customAxisMax = Double.NaN
/// if true, the y-label entries will always start at zero
public var startAtZeroEnabled = true
For example:
_chartView.leftAxis.customAxisMax = 35;
_chartView.leftAxis.customAxisMin = 0;
_chartView.leftAxis.startAtZeroEnabled = YES;

Our Mission
: To make the Dreams of children aged between 3 and 18 years, suffering from a diagnosed life limiting and life threatening illness, become a reality.
Click here
to view the latest Dial-a-Dream news (opens in a new window)
The Dream
Mission Impossible? - September 1992
A young boy lay in his hospital bed, his body was weak and thin, his head completely devoid of hair, due to months of constant treatment to rid his system of the cancer that was slowly eating away at his body; a body that used to be so fit and play rugby to County standard. His family sitting beside his bedside holding his now frail hand, feeling so useless as they watched his young life slipping away.
A few days earlier his uncle had approached British Airways, to try to arrange a dream visit for the boy to look over a Jumbo jet at Heathrow. The boy had always dreamt of becoming a pilot. It was thought that through such a visit it might in some way give the young boy an incentive to continue to fight this terrible disease a little harder.
The reply to the request came from British Airways confirming that arrangements had been made for the visit to go ahead. With tears in his eyes the uncle who had made the arrangements had to explain to the representative that the boy had died just a few hours earlier.
It was during those visits to the hospital that the uncle was shocked at the way that cancer could reduce young fit bodies to an emaciated state.
He was informed that a trip, to Disney World Florida had been organised for twenty youngsters, all of whom were suffering from various life threatening illnesses. He was happy. That was until he was told that the party had been duped by the unscrupulous organiser: She had stolen the money. There was only a short time to go before the re-scheduled trip to go ahead. The children were unaware of the predicament.
The Plan
The uncle was Tom Whitbread a London cab driver, who together with fellow cabbie Bob Heath and Bobs daughter Verna, set about devising a plan to raise enough money to allow these unfortunate children to fulfill their dream. How do you raise £40,000 in as many days? They didn't have a clue, but that wasn't going to deter them either. Access to office facilities and a computer was granted by Dial-A-Cab, London's premier licensed taxi operator. The trio set about publishing a two page article relating to the plight of these children. Photocopies were made and distribution was begun, both within the taxi trade as well as anybody else that they came into contact. In the hope that anybody could help with this mammoth task.
Trevor Wood one of the founders, was also a publican and managed a very large pub in Essex. Trevor suggested that we hold an evening of entertainment and to this end some 38 acts were asked to participate. They all turned up and gave their services free of charge. Groups such as "The Tremolo's" "The Rubettes" and "Gidea Park" Page 3 Girls conducted the raffle and assisted with the auction. At 7.30pm the doors opened and at 04.30 they closed (the pub had been drunk dry the acts were exhausted and the charity had made £27,000.00. Nearly there!
Some of the children concerned would have to be transported from Belfast into Heathrow (Aer Lingus saw to that) and consequently transport needed to be arranged between Heathrow and Gatwick. Grey Green Coaches alleviated this problem by donating coaches and drivers.
With only days to go all the money needed was raised, the various parties were paid and the trip went ahead.
Sadly for many of those children it was to be their last.
Early 1993 saw the coming together once more of those people (The Dream Team) that had been involved in the organisation and execution of the fundraising. Tom Whitbread, Bob Heath, Verna Heath, Denis Mahoney, Harry Griver, Les Coster Trevor Wood and Tony Rivers.
An informal lunch was arranged, to discuss what we as a group had achieved and where we should go from here. There was a general feeling of euphoria amongst the group that they had achieved so much in such a short time. It was then that we decided that we should apply to become a registered charity which would be run on a purely voluntary basis. We had seen our other charity's were taking astronomical sums of donated money and applying it to wages and "administration" this would not be allowed to happen at Dial-A-Dream.
Our application was completed and lodged with the Charity Commission, being a government body would take its time in processing and approving the application.
So we continued in the mean time to fulfill Dreams for sick kids.

Here I will explain how I was able to use my iPhone with the AT&T GoPhone network, reducing my monthly bill from
$130 a month to anywhere between $30 and $50 a month. Regardless of what you may have read other places… this IS POSSIBLE.
NOTE: Your iPhone device will need to be unlocked and jailbroken to use this feature. If your device is not unlocked and jailbroken, please do a google search and perform those steps first.
I originally signed up for a two-year contract with AT&T for the iPhone plan. This plan was around $130 a month for two years. Once my contract expired, I began looking at other options.
The first thing I did was switch my service to TMobile. I knew the iPhone would work on their network, and I could use their $50 pay as you go plan. However, I was only able to receive EDGE speed. I was NOT able to get 2G or 3G. This is because the hardware in the iPhone is not compatible with the TMobile network at any speed faster than EDGE.
Then I tried with Net10, but ran into problems with the sim card not being allowed on other phones except the one it was purchased with.
So, I decided to try the AT&T GoPhone route. And I am happy to say, everything worked out perfectly!
Getting Started:
The first thing you will need to do is purchase a GoPhone. Any phone will do. I simply purchased the cheapest phone I could find (at Walgreens) for $9.99. You will also need to purchase an air-time card (I purchased the $25 card, but $50 is available also), and a data plan which can be purchased at either $5, $15 or $25.
Once you have your new GoPhone, follow the steps exactly how I have them listed below.
- Insert your new sim card into your new GoPhone.
- Call the number for AT&T GoPhone activation. DO NOT activate online.
- Make sure to also activate the air-time card, and the data-plan card.
- After successful activation, explain to the CSR that you would like to unlock the sim card so that it can be used in other compatible phones.
- Once your sim card is unlocked, switch it over to your iPhone.
- You should now be able to send and receive both phone calls and text messages.
- To get your data plan working, you will need to adjust the network settings for the iPhone.
Setting up the Data Plan:
To set up the cellular data plan, you will need to first connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi connection. Once you are connected to Wi-Fi, use Safari to navigate to http://www.unlockit.co.nz on your device.
Choose "Continue", and then choose "Custom APN". Next, choose "Create Profile".
Choose your country, and then select your service provider. In this case, select GoPhone.
Lastly, re-spring your device. You should now see 3G on your device. Disable the iPhone from the Wi-Fi network, and test to make sure you can connect to the internet via AT&T GoPhone 3G.
Video Tutorial:
(Video Coming Soon)
Things to Remember:
To use the iPhone with the GoPhone plan, and be able to transfer data, you will need two separate plans. The first plan is either a $25 plan or a $50 plan. This is for your talk and text. Both include unlimited text. The difference is that the $25 plan includes 250 minutes of talk time, while the $50 plan includes unlimited talk time.
Next, you will need a data plan. AT&T no longer offers unlimited data plans. Now, they have a three-tier system of plans. The three plans available are $5 (50 megabytes), $15 (200 megabytes) and $25 (1 gigabyte). The price of the data plan is relative to the amount of data available.
More information about talk and text plans, as well as data plans, can be found on the AT&T GoPhone website.

Officers collaborate to catch child predators online
Nov. 26, 2010 at 5:26 a.m.
Sexual predators using the Internet to entice children could be in for trouble if their plans involve Victoria.
The police department has joined a task force that includes law enforcement agencies from East Texas to the Rio Grande River that pool resources to go after predators.
"It's kind of like getting appointed to the Super Bowl team of these particular types of investigations," Police Chief Bruce Ure said. "We've now got resources at our disposal that are just incredible, if we need them."
And Victoria police stand ready to help the other agencies.
The group is called the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
It includes 49 counties from Nacogdoches to Brownsville and about four or five counties from the East Texas border. Any time an agency needs assistance, the task force will provide services ranging from consultation to helping with prosecution.
Ure said the Harris County district attorney's office coordinates the program.
Lt. Michael Beyer with the Victoria Police Department said officers can use all the help they can get when they go after predators.
"You probably have a pretty good grasp of the Internet and how huge it is and how much opportunity there is for crime," he said. "It's very difficult to police."
Victoria police have already had a chance to use the task force in a case involving a predator living in Victoria.
"This guy thought he was talking to a 13-year-old when in fact he was talking to a police officer," Beyer said. "They sent us all the information and we got a search warrant and an arrest warrant."
The suspect confessed and the program worked like it should, he said.
The group provides training at no cost to improve the ability of officers to investigate Internet crimes against children. Beyer said Victoria will be sending officers to the training.
He said those types of crime may account for 5 or 10 percent of the department's workload from a personnel standpoint.
"But it's very serious when it happens," he said. "I don't want to play it down, because it's so dangerous, I think."

Jade Use in Ancient Mesoamerica and China
HONG KONG, November 11, 2013 - Anthropologist Dr. Christina Elson, who was also the co-curator of "Heavenly Jade of the Maya", an exhibition held in Washington DC in 2012, gave a presentation on "A Gift of Heaven: Comparing Jade Use in Ancient Mesoamerica and China" to compare the use of jade in these two distant cultures. Through an abundant archive of pictures, Elson introduced how Jade was used in sophisticated art styles in Pre-Columbian cultures such as the Olmec, Zapotec and Maya, and Chinese cultures such as the Shang, Zhou and Han to express power, wealth and social status in burials and ceremonies. Elson especially mentioned jade suits, plugs and burial items found in tombs from Han Dynasty that symbolised transformation of the dead bodies to a deathless, jade-like state and ensured eternity, while jade costumes in Classic Maya were vital for showing a ruler's pole to facilitate communication with ancestors who were critical for helping nobles propitiate the gods.

TALKS ARE BEING held at ACAS today, Saturday, in an attempt to halt a 24 hour strike on London Underground (LU), due to begin on Sunday evening. The strike would involve members of the RMT union and members of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA). The dispute is over staffing levels on the Tube.
Talks between the unions and LU management broke down on Friday, with both sides still far apart. As they left the talks, RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said that LU had failed to come up with "any serious plans to tackle the staffing and safety crisis." Mel Taylor of the TSSA condemned LU proposals over staffing levels as "just not enough" and called for a longer term solution to Tube staffing levels. LU say that the strike is not necessary as they are recruiting extra staff already.
If the strike goes ahead, it is expected to close most central London Tube stations and leave only a restricted service in outer London. While this will obviously inconvenience many London residents and visitors, the action comes after months of complaints over lack of staff caused by ticket offices closing and similar cutbacks.
The Mayor of London, Labour's Sadiq Khan, is in charge of Transport for London, of which LU is a part. He has said that he wants LU to "work round the clock" to try to resolve the dispute by negotiation. He has also surprised the trade unions involved by calling on them to call the strike off. It is of course in his gift to order LU to adopt staffing levels which make customers feel safe – so if any one person has the power to end the strike, it is the mayor himself. This does not seem to have occurred to him.

Are you watching the Olympics this year? It's great fun seeing everyone compete, watching all the different sports and the athletes from countries all over the world, but that's just this year! The Olympics have been going on for a very long time, going all the way back to Ancient Greece! Learn more about the history of the Olympics with some of these books:
Looking for a reading challenge this summer? Why not take a cue from Mr. Lemoncello from the books Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics by Chris Grabenstein? In Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics, the eccentric library-lover Mr. Luigi Lemoncello invites teams of kids from around the world to compete in a series of library games and puzzles. Throughout the story, Mr. Lemoncello refers to tons of books, which you can find a list of at the back of the book. We've taken that list and broken it down into three reading levels. Challenge yourself!
April is National Poetry Month for kids and grownups alike!

Every year the American Library Association gives out a number of awards for excellent children's books.
Are your kids clamoring for superheroes, but maybe a little young for comic books just yet? Have no fear! There are plenty of picture books and beginning readers to satisfy the superhero in all of us!
A new category! In previous years all books for children and teens were lumped together, but in 2015, for the first time, the Massachusetts Center for the Book has just published a list of must-read picture books that were either written by a Massachusetts author or that had subject matter related to this great state. Here is the list with links so you can reserve your next favorite right now!
Celebrate National Poetry Month with us! Whether you read a single poem, read a bunch or try your hand at writing one, take a look at poetry this month.
Should it have won? That's the question we asked about the books we read for February.

Good vs Bad in Democrat speak…
So lets get this straight:
ObamaCare; 1 trillion dollars in debt, costing jobs= GOOD Debt
Stimulus package: 1 trillion dollars in debt, no jobs created except government jobs = GOOD Debt.
Cap and Trade: Cost millions of job, adding billions to the national debt = Good Debt.
Unemployment benefits: 2 years of benefits because of the economy being in bad shape due to the ABOVE policies, adding BILLIONS to the national debt = Good Debt.
Bush tax cuts: Keeping the tax rate the same as it has been for the last 7 years, expected to many private sector jobs, will add 200 billion to the debt (For upper income earners) but will increase revenue by reducing unemployment = BAD DEBT.
I hope you guys understand the liberpuke mind now.
I don't think the GOP has a clue of how to go on the offensive. The Obama policies have kept the economy in a ditch. These tax extensions will help but the real job killer is the Obama care package. There will be recovery when that law is repealed and/or repaired.
IF the GOP doesn't repeal that health care debacle, and if they cave to this so-called compromise with Obama I think a 3rd party option is going to be necessary in 2012.
For GAWD SAKE, a third party needs a strong candidate though. Someone better than Bob Barr or Ralph Nader…. I'll tell you this, if Allen West ran as a WHIG party candidate I'm voting WHIG….
Another thing I'm really sick of hearing about and it's making a comeback. "Obama inherited this economy" is a good argument for the first year. And if Obama would have NOT spent so much money and time adding to the economy's woes with healthcare and the other anti-business policies, it may be a good argument. BUT Obama and his far left loons have kept the economy in the crapper and it's ALL OBAMA NOW! Quit whining liberpukes your hero pulled you out in to the light and now your "Programs" are showing the truth to the masses.
Good bye Democrats and RINO's America is waking up and we are engaged. No more hiding pork, no more socialism, no more status quo. You are all on notice.
