Senators expressed frustration Thursday with the process used to grant security clearances to federal workers following the Edward Snowden leaks and Aaron Alexis' killing rampage at the Washington Navy Yard.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., said that federal officials needed to regularly access reports from law enforcement to prevent the problem of insufficient clearance checks from reoccurring.
She pointed to a piece of legislation she had authored along with Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine; Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.; and Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D. The bill would require the government to do automatic, random searches of public records at least twice every five years to find out if there are any red flags.
"A lot of the existing security clearance structure relies on trust and self-reporting by existing clearance holders," explained Bradley Moss, a D.C.-based lawyer specializing in security clearance issues. There are currently no mandated random checks on clearance holders between five- or 10-year cycles of renewal.
Further, there was clear, bipartisan irritation about the lack of security clearance reform by federal agencies. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said that in 2005, Pentagon officials had testified that they were working on an automated evaluation system for security clearances.
"I know we've heard today, 'We're working on this.' ... 'We have an inter-agency working group.' ... 'We're doing research.' Again, this has been going on for a decade. A decade," Portman said.
Added McCaskill, "I think that if we do a gut check on this issue, we will realize that a lot of the work we have been doing around here is checking boxes. ... The notion that you're calling what you're doing 'quality control' ... is probably, I think, offensive."
In a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, senators raised questions on a range of topics from the general overclassification of information by the government, to the way contractors gather information for a clearance investigation, to whether there are appropriate checks after the clearance is granted.
"People are dying" because of the way classification is handled by the government, said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., apparently referring to the Navy Yard shooting in which 12 people were killed.
The hearing came the same week as news reports provided further evidence that USIS, a contractor that helps the government vet security clearance candidates, did not go through proper internal quality reviews. USIS was the contractor involved in investigating both Alexis and Snowden.
In the Alexis case, government officials defended the quality of the investigation, asserting that it was conducted properly — but that the parameters of the investigation could have been wider.
"We conducted the investigation that was required by the investigative standards," said Elaine Kaplan, acting director of the Office of Personnel Management. It was not "malfeasance" by USIS that prevented Alexis' mental health history from being forwarded to investigators, Kaplan said.
A month before Alexis went on a shooting rampage in Washington, he had a run-in with Rhode Island police during which he claimed to be hearing voices. That information was not available to those screening him for a security clearance.

Uri Kaufman, who has converted much of the former Harmony Mills complex in Cohoes into upscale apartments, has plans to do the same with another historic building, the former headquarters of Albany International Corp. in Menands, he said Friday afternoon.
Kaufman confirmed he has a contract to purchase the complex along Broadway, perhaps best known for the swans that glide on the pond in front. But he said it's not a done deal, and that he's performing due diligence. He also said certain tax credits will be critical to make the estimated $40 million project work.
Susan Siegel, a spokeswoman for Albany International, told the Times Union the company signed the contract with a buyer in March. The deal was first reported by AllOverAlbany.com.
Kaufman said that if all goes as planned, the building will eventually house 250 apartments, similar to those at his Harmony Mills development in Cohoes. He expects work to be completed in about two and a half years.
About 80 to 100 people still work at the Menands building, although that number is expected to shrink as more people move to Albany International's new headquarters in Rochester, N.H., or to other Albany International sites. About 25 employees are expected to remain in the Capital Region permanently, and for awhile will remain in the company's office building that's part of the headquarters.
"We've been here since 1902, when the very first part of the complex was built," she said Friday afternoon. The building is estimated to have about 350,000 square feet of space.
Kaufman expects to start work on the third and final phase of his Harmony Mills project in Cohoes in July, adding another 100 apartments to the 231 already completed in the first two phases. The apartments in historic mill buildings along the south bank of the Mohawk River just below the Cohoes Falls are 98 percent leased, he added.
But Kaufman said plans to convert another industrial building, the former Marshall Ray Co. on River street in Troy, into residential units are on hold. Instead, the building will be converted to self-storage units, although the ultimate goal remains a residential building.
Albany International was founded as Albany Felt Co. in 1895, producing the cloth material that was used in papermaking. By 1902 it had moved into the building in Menands, and after a merger with two other companies in 1969 it changed its name to Albany International. It went public in 1972, return to private ownership in 1983, and went public once again in 1988, with its shares both times listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company announced in late 2010 that it would move its headquarters to Rochester, where its aerospace engineered composites operation is based.

Australia lead by 486 runs at lunch
Australia were 154 for five in their second innings and had taken a 486-run lead at lunch on day four of the fourth Test against India here Friday.
Australia were 154 for five and extended their lead to 486 runs at lunch on day four of the fourth Test against India here Friday.
Resuming their second innings at 50 for three, Australia made 104 in the session at the loss of captain Michael Clarke (37) and Mike Hussey (15). Ricky Ponting continued to show good form with his unbeaten 57-run stay at the crease and was joined by Brad Haddin (1). Umesh Yadav (1/23) and Ishant Sharma (1/25) were the wicket takers.
Australia are expected to declare anytime after lunch and India will have to bat out of their skins to save the match.
Ponting and Clarke once again got a partnership going until the skipper was adjudged caught behind off Yadav to a dubious decision. Though there was a definite sound, replays showed it did not come off Clarke's bat, leaving Australia at 111 for four.
Ponting was fluent in his innings, hitting five boundaries including a slog-sweep off Ravichandran Ashwin. Hussey looked good two before he was dismissed leg before off Sharma, making it 147 for five. The scoreboard at lunch on day four of the fourth and final cricket Test between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval here Friday.

I think a lot about the minute changes in my body over time. It's the former nurse in me, always wondering what meaning lies behind today's aches and pains and lumps. Like every good student of anatomy and physiology, I came out of nursing school a closet hypochondriac. I take note of every twinge and every change, and I've come to the conclusion that nearly all of it comes down to a battle with Father Time.
There's a word for this kind of awareness: kinesthesia. It's defined as 'an awareness of the position and movement of the parts of the body by means of sensory organs in the muscles and joints'. I know what kinesthesia does to me when I let my mind run riot over the changes in my physical body. It makes me curiously aware of the way my body moves to the rhythms of daily life. I started thinking about this awareness as it relates to my inner self, how so much of what I want to do and say feels like a tensing of the muscles, like a deep ache, like a fire shut up in my bones.
I read an article some time ago about how often we (specifically runners) overestimate how many calories we need for our bodies to perform well. One doctor said he regularly runs twelve miles on an empty stomach, at which the writer responded in much the same way I would–with complete incredulity. What?! Why? How? The man replied, "You have to grow comfortable with feeling the hunger." Apparently, feeling hungry never hurt any body. As one who suffers from unpleasant emotional incidents when Hangry, I beg to differ. But I digress.
Feeling hunger in the physical sense is unpleasant, but feeling it in your soul and your spirit? When not satiated, it feels like starvation. It feels like withering away to skin and bones. It feels deadly. I feel the hunger, a kinesthesia of the soul, I feel it right down to every sensory cell. And if I'm honest, I don't know what to do with it. I don't know whether the hunger should motivate me to push further and harder, or if perhaps I must learn to sit with it. Hold the hunger in my hands, acknowledge I have all that I need, and let it go. Is this the meaning of contentment?
I want more for myself, I feel the pangs of it contracting in my gut, but I don't know when to say enough is enough. When will I have seen enough, experienced enough, learned and worked and lived enough? Where does one draw the line and say–this will satiate me for today. I don't know. I wish could flip through the textbook for answers, but all I have is my hunger and my awareness of it.
As I sit with the questions, I eat my daily bread and pray it will be enough to sustain me over many miles, regardless of what my body tells me.
What are you hungry for? Are you actively working towards feeding it, or have you grown comfortable with the feeling?

If you think Quinton Ganther was upset when the Seahawks brought in LenDale White and Leon Washington after already signing him as a free-agent running back this offseason, think again.
The former Utah standout knows better than to expect an open door to playing time in the NFL after five seasons of fighting his way onto rosters with the Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins as a late-round draft pick out of Utah in 2006.
Though White has already departed the scene, Ganther knows things can continue to change and competition will forever be the name of the game. For him, new additions at his position are never a surprise.
"Not at all," the 5-foot-9, 220-pounder said with a grin nearly as broad as his thick shoulders. "I'm a seventh-round draft pick. So I know how that goes. They're always going to be bringing in other guys. I can only control what I can control.
"I've been in this league for five years now because I try to do all the little things right and give it all I've got and they know they can count on me."
Ganther is trying to squeeze his way into a running backs situation that already includes returners Julius Jones, Justin Forsett and Louis Rankin, along with new addition Washington.
Rumors are afloat the Seahawks might be interested in Buffalo's Marshawn Lynch after already kicking the tires on White.
Ganther, who rushed 62 times for 199 yards after signing with the Redskins for the final eight games last year, insists none of it matters to him and he'll continue offering what he does best, which is the versatility to play fullback as well as tailback and to excel on special teams as well.
"I'm one of those guys who does things other guys don't want to do," he said. "You tell me to run down on the kickoff and hit the wedge, that's what I'll do. You tell me to get in there at fullback, that's what I'll do. Because I'm a team player, not a me player."
Ganther isn't a huge guy, but he's built like a tank and proved the ability to punch the ball in last year when he scored three touchdowns in a two-game span while filling in as a starter for an injury-plagued Redskins backfield.
With White out of the mix, can he be the short-yardage back the Seahawks seem to be missing with a Jones-Forsett-Washington trio?
"I'm going to pound it in there," he said. "That's what I do. I don't dance. I'm going to stick my foot in the ground and get upfield. If you're there in the way, then we're going to collide. Let the best man win."
Coach Pete Carroll says the short-yardage job will play itself out in training camp and the preseason when the staff can see players in game conditions. But, yes, Ganther is in the mix.
"He plays in the 220s, so that is good size for us and he has a good low center of gravity," Carroll said. "We need to see when we get the pads on which guys make the first downs and have a knack for finding the little creases. We'll figure out which guys are best suited for the roles in the offense."
Ganther said it has seemed destined that he'd end up eventually in Seattle. The Seahawks were on the phone with him during the seventh-round of the 2006 draft, preparing to pick him when the Titans grabbed him first.
Seattle wound up taking wide receiver Ben Obomanu three spots later.
He said the Seahawks tried to sign him off the Titans' practice squad several times after that, but he chose at the time to stay in Tennessee where he'd already built up some cache.
But running backs coach Sherman Smith, who was with Tennessee when the Titans drafted both Ganther and White, moved to the Redskins and brought Ganther in there last midseason.
And when Smith took a job with the Seahawks this season, it was no coincidence Ganther again followed.
"We go way back," Ganther said.
But the 25-year-old Oakland native knows there are no guarantees in the NFL and his spot is tenuous, even with White's departure.
"I'm not sure how that is going to go," he said. "Since I've been here, I've been getting reps when he was here and when he wasn't here. So I don't worry about that. I just worry about putting quality work on film."
One thing he's picked up on quickly: The Seahawks' zone-blocking run scheme with offensive line coach Alex Gibbs is a no-nonsense system that suits his style well. He's never played for a zone-blocking team before and said the first few weeks he was often the object of Gibbs' wrath.
But now he said he's gaining a comfort-level in the "one-cut and go" concept that doesn't call for a lot of shake-and-bake.
"You'll dance your way out of here if you do that," he said.
Which is fine with Ganther. He's always been a straight-ahead kind of guy. Now the key will be to convince the Seahawks they need him in their backfield group going forward.
His head coach's impressions so far?
"Quinton does something every day," Carroll said. "He is aggressive, he is versatile. He has good instincts running the football. He will be able to play some fullback for us as well. He's catching the football well.
"We are anticipating that he's going to be a great special teams player, too. He has done nothing but positive things. This is a good, solid, competitive group right now."
All that is great, but Ganther knows the score. He's bounced around the league long enough to understand the situation.
"When you're a seventh-round draft pick, you can't make mistakes other guys make," he said. "I just have to make sure I'm always on my game. Because that one mistake could be your last."

Immigration battle heats up in Albuquerque, Santa Fe
Joy Wang
February 23, 2017 06:11 PM
Two of New Mexico's largest cities have drawn their lines in the sand in the battle over whether to enforce federal immigration laws.
City leaders in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque moved forward on policies Wednesday evening. The Albuquerque City Council passed a memorial reaffirming the city's position while Santa Fe passed a resolution that omits the word "sanctuary" from its policy.
Civil rights organizations say what happened in Santa Fe was a step moving forward to make sure immigrant families feel safe.
"It sends a message that no matter where you are from [and] no matter the immigrations status, that you are welcome in Santa Fe [and] that you are part of Santa Fe community," said Emmanuelle Leal, an official with the group Somos un Pueblo Unido. "And that Santa Fe will be there for you because immigrant and everyone in our city contribute and are part of our community deeply."
Leal said the resolution passed by the Santa Fe City Council includes multiple policies that protect confidential information, including immigrant status.
"The general feeling after the vote was just joy and pride that Santa Fe once again will be a leader in the national movement to defend immigrant families," he said.
That same feeling also felt in Albuquerque, where the city council passed its own version. Albuquerque passed a resolution making it an immigrant friendly city in 2000 but reaffirmed that policy on Wednesday.
Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry has said the city is not a sanctuary for criminal activity. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials can check immigration status if someone is arrested.
"[The memorial] identifies that you know no one will be discriminated against their race, religion, creed, color, or otherwise sexual orientation and that policies within the police department as it relates to immigrant status check will not be part of our standard operating procedures," Albuquerque Chief of Staff Gilbert Montano said.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) October 20, 2015
"My clothing never seems to fit right, and I am unhappy with how the fabric bunches up in certain areas," said an inventor from Hanford, Calif. "I came up with this idea so that I could gather the fabric together and make my clothing fit better so that my outfits look good."
She created a prototype for the CLOTHING JEWELRY to gather fabric together in the selected area. This makes clothing fit the body better. The accessory ensures that the outfit looks slimming and attractive. It is sable with a variety of garments. Also, the device is usable with various household items, such as curtains, tablecloths, etc.
The original design was submitted to the Fresno office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

"really good"
really enjoyed this audio book and thought it was well read. would recommend this series
"Destroyed by narrator"
To have been read by Richard Ferrone
Yes, by a different narrator.
After following the series as read by Richard Ferrone I was disappointed to fine that he had not narrated "The Mark". So I tried the most recent recording read by Jack Sondericker. What a huge fail. The accents are terrible, a New Zealander sounds Cockney, Zion the Jewish rabbi sounds like a Nazi!! His name is pronounced "see on" instead of Zion. And Carpathia and Fortunado are so over the top as to sound cartoonish. I didn't make it past chapter 3.
"The story is great, performance lacking."
I only know what halogens in this book because I've read it. The performance was abysmal. I think there's an accidental pirate in there somewhere. Very disappointed.
"Terrible playback quality."
The book, yes. This specific recording, no.
I love the series in a whole!
I believe it already does.
This recording makes it sound like I have a blown speaker, no matter what device it is played on. Really takes away from the story.
"I cannot describe how horrible the narrator is..."
Any other narrator. ANY. A random guy off the street. A parakeet. A chalkboard. Words cannot describe how bad it was. It was so bad. Just bad. Bad!
I especially like the pauses in between when the narrator is talking.
Anybody. Anybody at all. I didn't realize tears of woe could come from my ears...
Jack Sondericker
I couldn't decide whether the incorrect pronunciations of names, the incorrect accents, or the racist accents were the worst. If dude had just used his own voice and correctly pronounced the names, I would have been fine.
I love the reflection in the authors voice; it helps to tell the story so that you become more apart of the book.
I tried to read it on my own, but found myself drawn back to the audio.
How realistic things can be: that there is a never ending battle between good and evil; a choice will need to be made.
Just the solid faith of the characters to fight for God.
Almost - but it took me two days.
Can't wait to the next one.
"This book is a great depiction of last day events."
Although we can't know for certain how the Mark will be applied, I love the explanation of the process. I read the entire Left Behind series years ago, but after hearing the audiobook of The Mark, I plan to purchase the others again.
"Great book"
love it very great story. Helps me understand Revaluation. Have enjoyed the prior books, looking forward to listening to the rest.
"a very good series"
no other book series has captured my attention like this one. check it out.
"Plot + narration inconsistencies"
The series' plot constantly contradicts itself + the narrator is not consistent with voices of characters from book to book.
"Good series, long at the beginning"
Starts slow, ends better.
The scene at the safe house between Rayford, Chloe, Albi, and the GC.
This books starts slow because it rehashes the first 7 books. Also, the relationship between Rayford and Leah is tiring. Tee book ends well, though and sets up the next one well.

I showed you the toddler bed made from a door last week, but I didn't explain any of the particulars. Today I will fill you in.
This is the door I started with. I had already applied primer and paint to one side. The other side only had primer. That is why you'll see a pink door below:
I needed to cut the door into two sections. Generally I would do this type of task on my table saw. I was unable to do that with this door due to it's size and weight. I measured how large I wanted the headboard and foot board to be.
In order to get a straight line, I clamped a board to the door to serve as a "guide" for my saw.
The only circular saw I have is battery operated and it wouldn't make it across the width of this door. I used my jigsaw. Without this board as a guide, I would have never been able to cut a straight line.
This picture is to show you that you must make allowances for the width of the shoe plate. (in your measurements)
I didn't want the door to set directly on the floor, so I had to figure out what I could use for feet. I chose one of my spare crib spindles. I used the parts in between the holes.
After I got them cut, I needed to drill a hole so that I could screw them onto the bottom of the door. I use a washer to help find the center of a circle.
You can see in this picture how I clamped the foot to drill the hole. I also used Gorilla Wood Glue on the feet.
TIP: Coating your screw with soap will help the screw go into the hard wood faster and smoother. Click to Tweet tip.
I used regular side rails I had in my stash. I cut them down to fit a crib mattress.
To help give the side rails extra strength, I made a cleat for both the headboard and the foot board. I glued them with Gorilla Wood Glue and then I screwed them into place.
Here you can see the cleat and the cute little feet.
I painted the side rails and the top rail of the headboard and the foot board.
This is the bed without the top rail attached to the headboard and the foot board.
The trusty Gorilla Wood Glue again.
Here you can see the foot board's top rail attached.
I cut some extra wide planks to help support the crib mattress since I wasn't using the springs that a crib would have.
To attach the side rails to the headboard and foot board I used some brackets I got from the deck dept at Home Depot. I put all the screws in the side rail but only used two screws for the headboard/foot board. That way when someone buys this bed and takes it to their house, they can add the additional screws for strength, and they will be secure.
Voila! Here is the finished bed!

SSPX Bishop de Galaretta Warns against New Head of CDF
New Head of CDF: Reportedly Denies Perpetual Virginity, Fan of Liberation Theology
(also, now the DiNoia factor - see below)
(Zaitzkofen) Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta has ordained two priests, Franz Amberger and the Czech Ludek Cekavy at the Priestly Seminary of the Heart of Jesus (Zaitzkofen). Auxiliary Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta preached in French which was translated into German by the Rector of the Seminary, Father Frey.
The Bishop preached about the priesthood: The priest has been chosen from among men to mediate the divine for men. His mission is primarily of a supernatural nature. The center of the priestly life is the Holy Mass.
He complained that the Bishop of Regensburg, Bishop Muller, was named yesterday (30 June) to be the head of the Congregation of the Doctrine and the Faith, even though he denied Mary's perpetual virginity. It is not acceptable that the leader of the Congregation holds a heresy.
Upon this [the Virgin Birth] it did -- says Msgr Muller -- "not deviate from physiological particularities in the natural process of birth (such as something like the non opening of the birth canal, the non-injury of the hymen and not experiencing the pains of birth), rather it's in the healing and saving influence of the Grace of the Savior on human nature."
Bishop Muller ordained five priests on Saturday.
More: from NCR: February, 2012
Müller himself is a prolific author, having written more than 400 works on a wide variety of theological topics.
Despite his broadly conservative reputation, Müller actually earned his doctorate in 1977 under then-Fr. Karl Lehmann, who went on to become the cardinal of Mainz and the leader of the "moderate" wing of the German bishops' conference. Müller's dissertation was on the famed German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Moreover, Müller is a close personal friend of the renowned Peruvian theologian Gustavo Gutiérrez, considered the father of liberation theology. Every year since 1998, Müller has travelled to Peru to take a course from Gutiérrez, and has spent time living with farmers in a rural parish near the border with Bolivia
Now DiNoia: The more things change, the more they stay the same...
Newly appointed Ecclesia Dei Prelate, US Archbishop J. Augustine DiNoia, is charged with trying to achieve and accord between the SSPX and Rome. Yet again, there is the insistence that nothing in Vatican II is contrary to Tradition.
In a July 1 interview with the National Catholic Register, DiNola said of the SSPX, "What I've tried to argue is that all they have to do is to say there's nothing in the Council that is contrary to Tradition and that every text, or every part of it that is controversial, should be read in context of the Council, and read it in light of the Tradition. It seems to me, despite their difficulties, they should be able to do that."
Yet As Archbishop Lefebvre pointed out at the time of the Council, the Document on Religious Liberty does contain text that is contrary to Tradition.
Archbishop Lefebvre further noted that the progressive Fr. Yves Congar openly admitted Vatican II's new doctrine of religious liberty is a rupture with the past. Congar said: "What is new in this teaching in relation to the doctrine of Leo XIII and even of Pius XII…is the determination of the basis peculiar to this liberty, which is sought not in the objective truth of moral or religious good, but in the ontological quality of the human person."
Congar further stated, ""It cannot be denied that a text like this [the conciliar declaration on Religious Liberty] says materially something different from the Syllabus of 1864, and even almost the opposite of propositions 15, and 77 to 79 of that document."
The SSPX thus cannot agree with Archbishop DiNoia's that "there's nothing in the Council that is contrary to Tradition".

Groove Armada, "Lovebox," Zomba Records. Dance music with a sense of pop history, a love of hooks, and a determination to keep things diverse. You gotta love it, especially the love of hooks part. Some of these songs could really stick under the skin, especially the rambunctious "Madder." I'm also fond of "Remember," which features a sample of the late great Sandy Denny providing the melody. Then there's Richie Havens excellent vocal on "Hands of Time," a soulful gem that harkens back to Hi Records sound without slavishly imitating it. This is pop music that deserves radio and dance floor attention, not to mention living room.
Ry Cooder and Manuel Galban, "Mambo Sinuendo," Nonesuch Records. Cooder goes back to Cuba and teams up with a spectacular guitar player (wasn't he the guy in Los Zafiros or whatever the name of that 60s doo-wop-influenced group from Cuba was?) on a bunch of beautiful songs (some of them standards familiar to all of us, even if we don't know the names) twisted into a reverb-drenched stew that's not completely removed from the smoke-filled haze of dub. Gorgeous, exotic, and constantly calling for attention, this is another triumph for Cooder.

Journal of the Australian War Memorial - Issue 40
In this issue
For many years the Australian War Memorial has been encouraging and promoting the study of Australian military history by running conferences and seminars, and by publishing a journal. This issue of the Journal of the Australian War Memorial brings these two long-term activities together.
In July 2005 the Memorial joined with the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Australian Defence Force Academy in a day-long conference entitled "ANZAC Day to VP Day: arguments and interpretations". Issue 40 of the Journal offers a selection of papers from that day.
The themes of the conference covered operational military history, memory of war, and prisoners of war. This reflects a tradition at Memorial conferences of bringing operational military historians into the same forum as those interested in the social and cultural aspects of war. Organisers and attendees of this conference were impressed and inspired by the blending of the two themes in both the formal papers and the emerging discussion. For this day at least, representatives of the "two worlds" of military historical research identified by Joan Beaumont in her keynote address came together.
Also included in this issue are two articles – by Michael Molkentin and Ann Elias – which, although unrelated to the conference, do reflect the diversity of subject and interpretation which the Journal would like to attract. Located as it is within a major museum, the Journal also encourages submissions from authors making use of the material culture of war in innovative ways. More information can be found in the Journal's editorial guidelines.
We hope you enjoy this new issue of the Journal.

Editor, Journal of the Australian War Memorial

|Amir Johnson, PF 30 MIN | 6-11 FG | 2-3 FT | 8 REB | 3 AST | 0 STL | 2 BLK | 3 TO | 14 PTS | +13Looked tired tonight (understandable given the torrid pace he's been on lately), but worked his ass off, as usual, and had a big fourth quarter to turn in a respectable stat line. Watching him work with Vasquez on the pick and roll is a thing of beauty and should only get better as they become more comfortable with one another. Not sure how I feel about the "Doctor of Denial" nickname.
|Jonas Valanciunas, C 31 MIN | 6-11 FG | 3-4 FT | 11 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 4 BLK | 1 TO | 15 PTS | +14One of his best games of the year, though it still came with a couple of things to improve. Fought hard to get his through an excellent scouting job by the Bulls, who were content to let him shoot from the free throw line. He also had difficulties at times containing Joachim Noah down low, mostly due to a strength disadvantage, and missed a couple chances to convert when he was hit in the hands with a pass and wasn't ready for it. With all that said – he had four blocks and made his presence felt against the veteran Bulls on both ends of the court for most of the night. It's clear that the more touches he gets, the more confident he becomes, and I hope the Raps continue to look for him in the block.
|Kyle Lowry, PG 33 MIN | 7-14 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 6 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 16 PTS | +18Excellent game against a depleted Bulls backcourt – just a single turnover, and made excellent decisions with the ball. His stock continues to rise in the face of what most consider to be an inevitable trade, and you have to love the compete level with rumours swirling.
|DeMar DeRozan, SG 39 MIN | 7-14 FG | 1-2 FT | 7 REB | 4 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 2 TO | 15 PTS | +22Not the most impressive stat line, but what stood out for me the most in this game is how he didn't force any plays on the offensive end. With Gay gone, he's got more confidence in moving the ball among his teammates, and it's making him a far more efficient player. He also seems to always come through in the fourth to ice the game when the team needs him to. Had difficulties guarding Luol Deng in a smaller starting lineup, which you'd expect.
|Terrence Ross, SG 24 MIN | 4-12 FG | 1-2 FT | 6 REB | 4 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 3 TO | 9 PTS | -6An up-and-down game – forced his shot a ton in the first quarter to the tune of a 1-for-8 start, but settled down nicely and affected the game in different ways as it went along. Was rightfully benched for Vasquez in the fourth quarter when the Raptors put the game away. A career high in assists, most of the highlight-reel variety – you have to like to see that in what has become a motion-heavy offence.
|Tyler Hansbrough, PF 14 MIN | 1-2 FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 4 PTS | +7Grind, baby, grind. Did what everyone expected of him in limited minutes and had a nice conversion of a Vasquez pick and roll early in the fourth. He's not going to move the needle, but when he's your fourth big, you're in pretty good shape.
|Patrick Patterson, PF 21 MIN | 4-5 FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 2 BLK | 1 TO | 12 PTS | +11Much, much better game than his first one in a Raptors uniform. Held his own defensively and hit every long range shot he took, including two threes (his lone miss was on a reverse layup following some excellent Raptor passing). His ability to stretch the floor was key tonight in the first half against the paint-clogging Bulls.
|John Salmons, SF 28 MIN | 3-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 2 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 0 TO | 7 PTS | +19Eight shot attempts is too many for him, but he hit a three and played some excellent perimeter defence, which earned him his minutes. He's really got a nose for the ball – it seems like he's in passing lanes more often than not.
|Landry Fields, SF 1 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 0 PTS | -1Fields/Novak/Daye/Buycks all got in for a minute of garbage time with the game out of reach late. I'm not going to write this out for all four of them.
|Greivis Vasquez, PG 17 MIN | 2-6 FG | 3-3 FT | 1 REB | 6 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 7 PTS | +16Invisible for most of the game until an excellent fourth, when DeRozan and Lowry rightly deferred to what had become an almost unstoppable pick-and-roll offence. His D looked pretty good tonight, too, though most of his minutes came against DJ Augustin.
|Dwane Casey
It's ridiculous that it took Rudy Gay being moved for the offence to open up, but it did, and it has. Had the team playing hard defensively, the ball movement was excellent, picked the right five players (the starting lineup with Vasquez in for Ross) to ice the game, and even ran a few inbounds plays, which was about as surprising to type as I bet it was to read. It's weird giving him an A, but tonight, I have no complaints.
Three Things We Saw
- I'll expand on this in my column tomorrow, but these Raptors are definitely – definitely – a playoff team in the East. If the goal is to tank, more moves are necessary. A few more games of this, though, and Masai might be rethinking that.
- We're becoming a bit of a broken record here at RR, but the Raptors really do look like a different team since the Gay trade. Tonight, they set a season-high in assists, with 26 on 40 made shots. What's most exciting for those evaluating the team individually is how many of those are coming from DeMar, who's really coming into his own as an offensive focal point.
- The Bulls will always be tough defensively, but they look listless and lost. Besides Luol Deng and Mike Dunleavy in spurts, nobody was able to get going tonight. A byproduct of some solid Raptor defence, to be sure, but they really miss having a facilitator at the point.

About Heather
Running, Triathlon, & Duathlon Coach
USA Track & Field Certified Coach (Level 1)
USA Triathlon Certified Coach (Level 1)
Q: Have you always lived a healthy fit lifestyle?
I have been active as long as I remember, I grew up dancing (from the age of 2) and enjoyed every style of dancing I could find! I started running about 6 months after college, because I needed a goal to keep myself motivated to stay active. It was REALLY hard for me at the start – I couldn't even run a quarter mile without stopping. I worked up to a 5K over 2 months and then kept adding the miles until I finished a marathon a year later! Running led to triathlon/duathlon and I've been hooked on both ever since!
Q: What keeps you going, motivated?
Running and Multisport (triathlon & duathlon) work for me, because you pay money for a race. Committing your money to something is a great motivation to get your workouts in! The variety of multisport events keeps me interested and the feeling of finishing a race after giving it your all is a great natural high!
Q: What is your favorite workout?
Running is still my favorite – I love the simplicity of putting on your shoes and heading out the door. I've been getting more into trail running recently, which I find challenging and I'm determined to get better at it!
Q: What are some of your goals?
I crossed some big goals off my list early this year (first 50K race and 3:55 marathon), so the rest of this year is about having fun and enjoying training. After several shorter running & duathlon races over the next few months, I'm running the Marine Corps Marathon in October – I guess it's time to shoot for 3:50! Then next year I'll go for Ironman #2, hopefully in Australia!
Q: What are some of your accomplishments or things you're proud of?
Crossing the finish line at Ironman Austria was pretty amazing – something that is still incredible to me! Followed by completing my first 50K Ultramarathon in February. I love going long and seeing what this body can accomplish.
Q: What is one random fact we should know about you?
I love Nickelodeon & Disney — I watch more children's TV & movies than any sane adult with no kids should. And I'm not ashamed. 🙂
Q: What words of advice would you like to leave the readers?
One of my mottos is "You can achieve the impossible, no matter where you start!" and I truly believe it. I would have never thought this "slow runner" (6:45 at Disney Marathon 2003) could run a sub-4:00 marathon and complete an Ironman under 14:00. You can go farther and faster than you think, you just need a good plan and put in the work!

Can Facebook Threaten your Campus Security?
If a friend posts something on your Facebook wall, how likely are you to click the link? Pretty likely, right? You should realize that there are "bad" links out there. Sometimes a post on your wall from a friend might actually be a virus, like, say, "Hey, [Insert name]! I got this totally chill deal on an iPad. It was free! Just click this link for the deets!" If you click on rogue links, they'll steal your information, and in turn, affect your college campus's security.
These deceitful Facebook links—posted by hackers who have stolen student login information—have become a primary concern among campus technology leaders, and some colleges and universities are using security programs that isolate student computers before they do damage to the entire campus network.
Much like hackers have used suspicious eMail messages to solicit personal information from web users, spammers are now "clickjacking" Facebook accounts and posting links to friends' Facebook pages. It appears to Facebook users that a friend has shared something with them—perhaps a contest to win a cruise or an Apple iPad. If they click the link, their information is stolen, and the process begins again…
Hackers "want you to jump off of the Facebook server and jump onto another server, so it can take your [information]," said Frank Andrus, chief technology officer for Bradford Networks.
Facebook apps can be a source of malware on campus networks, but an application launched last fall claims to scan Facebook news feeds for infected links or posts.
Technology is Key for College Students with Hectic Schedules
College campuses are way more wired than they were even ten years ago. It's easier to find an outlet to plug your computer in than it is to find a pencil sharpener. Some college students still don't think their universities utilize enough technology in their education, though. In fact, E-Campus News reports that the majority of college students who work full-time jobs say that more educational technology tools are needed on campuses, echoing research that documents a widening gap between student and faculty technology preferences:
The survey results were indicative of nontraditional students who find time before or after work to take classes and earn a college degree. Enrollment in online educational programs has skyrocketed in the past two years – especially at community colleges — as millions of adults return to school during the country's economic downturn.
"Students live online; our classes need to live there as well," said Ken Baldauf, director of Florida State University's Program in Interdisciplinary Computing, adding that students' technological preferences show that traditional classroom lessons might soon be a campus relic. "Lectures need to transform into brainstorming sessions, and textbooks need to move online to take advantage of the wealth of resources available there."
Incorporating familiar online platforms such as Facebook or other learning management systems that have similar interactive functionalities, Baldauf said, would be key in satisfying technology preferences for students with jobs and family lives, and those with neither.

Forums > Gaming > GTA 5 preorderable
So, as of today you can officially pre-order GTA5. I've ordered mine from AMAZON, their preorder price match policy suits me, in that if the price drops before now and release date, i pay the lowest price.
I'm really looking forward to this one, after the (slightly) disappointing GTA4, i think this one looks like a return to form for GTA, back to the more fun GTA San Andreas/Vice City.
There's more screen shots too. These look like 5 new areas for the game to take place in?

The art work is promising, it's a throwback to the good old days of GTA 3, VC and San Andreas
It better be good, I can't have my heart broken like that previous excuse of a gta game did!
Plus big countryside areas must mean airplanes are coming back right?
How about not having a sig at all?
planes, and underwater diving!
Three playable charactors?
Bigger then GTA:VC, GTA4 and Red Dead combined
Even my earwax is radioactive.

I heard about this. One theory is that you play the same story three times from three perspectives/characters. Interweaving plots like some kinda Guy Richie film. Could work well.
I don't necessarily want a huge/overwhelming map, just one that's nicely detailed regardless of size.
Infos, mofos
3 playable characters, which you switch between as you like throughout the game, and a map 5 times bigger than Red Dead Redemption, plus loads more screen shot.
It's looking awesome.

This. I might even buy it! (I've only bought 1 or 2 games since getting my PS3)
Second trailer now up
Shame it's not going to be launched for the next gen, I can't see the X360/PS3 being able to power those graphics.
Yeah, I'm guessing that demo comes straight off a high end PC & the Xbox version will have a bit more 'grain' to it.
Still, at least it's not a dark shithole like GTA IV was.
The only good GTA was Vice City.
There. I've said it.
"It's like he's immortal but sh1t" - @NotoriousRev
"You look like a Jelly Baby from down the back of the sofa"
I pre-ordered it last night on the basis of the new trailer . Looks awesome.
I often drive for a road travel
All of that is PC - I am with Exiges, not sure the current generation will be able to offer that level of fidelity. (Look at BF3 et al)
I'll get it (I worked on GTA4) but I must be honest, the free roaming 3rd person stuff has got a bit stale for me and it is a packed marketplace.
For the record Vice City and the old top down London in the 60's GTA's are the best.

Director: John Moore
Age restriction: No One 17 and Under Admitted.
McClain arrives in Moscow to rescue from prison, his son, who, obviously, is no less "hard nut" than his legendary father. Together, they manage to stir up a hornets' nest of local organized crime, but even a cool head and an incredible will to win cannot help McClain, confronted with the harsh Russian reality, out of the web of the Russian bureaucracy and tyranny. Global catastrophe is brewing, and in order to prevent it, the father and son are forced to discard all the controversy over the methods of struggle and work together. Desperate and daring daredevil Irina loves to drive a motorcycle and playing chess games. Dramatic and insidious brunette knows too much, and it means that it is able to do the unpredictable "horse course", which resulted in the development of the already complex plot can go on the most unexpected way.

consistent navigation and upgrade
Faithful visitors, you may note the mysterious appearance of a tiny little navigation element in the bottom right of the page. Of course — unsurprisingly — it's utterly broken in Internet Explorer. Instead of a fixed-position menu in the bottom right corner of the browser, I expect that to IE users it looks like a menu that bleeds off the bottom of the bottom-left corner of the page with the same scrolling-position as the rest of the page. I plan to fix that, but for now, it's just broken. Click on the IE thumbnail to see a larger image that shows how the navigation elements render in IE on the CCD CopyWrite page.
The RPG link in that little navigation element leads to a page that doesn't exist yet, so don't bother clicking it. The other three all point at subdomains of apotheon.org though: this one, and two others. The same navigation element exists on all three of those domains, the only difference being the color scheme. I intend to get that RPG page in place 'ere long, and when I do the navigation will be on that page, too.
In other news, the scripts used for SOB are going to get upgraded to a newer version on the 30th. I'll back up the database (hope the backup works) in case there are any problems (hopefully the backup won't be needed anyway), but there shouldn't really be any interruption of service or need to repopulate the database with data or anything like that. It should just be a basic drop-in replacement dealie. Knock on wood.
Back to that navigation menu thingie. . . .
I tried slapping a position: absolute in there, since IE fails to support position: fixed, but that didn't work out so well. Anyhow, if you would like to see how the navigation elements are supposed to look, click on the Firefox thumbnail here.

Prices of vacation homes in most parts of the nation have soared in the past several years. Sellers today face difficult tax issues.
Q: My wife and I purchased a small cabin as a vacation home several years ago, and now we are planning to put it up for sale by the end of this year. We should have a net profit of about $105,000 after the sale closes and all expenses are paid. How will the profit be taxed? Will we be allowed to use the same tax loophole that lets married couples keep up to $500,000 in profit from the sale of their primary residence tax-free, even though we have never used the cabin more than two or three months a year?
A: Sorry, but you almost certainly will owe at least some taxes on the profit from the sale of your vacation home.
It's true that the Internal Revenue Service allows most married couples to keep up to $500,000 in profit tax-free when they sell their primary residence (the limit is $250,000 for single filers). But your letter states that you have used the cabin only two or three months per year, so there's no way that you can argue that it's your personal residence and qualify for a tax exclusion.
Instead, you'll probably owe federal taxes on your vacation-home profit based on the long-term capital-gain rate of 15 percent.
And if you have taken depreciation deductions on the property through the years because you rented it out to tenants when you weren't there, you'll owe up to 25 percent more in federal taxes on the total of the depreciation write-offs that you have claimed.
Because you don't plan on putting the cabin up for sale until the end of this year, you and your spouse should first spend an hour or two with an accountant or other tax expert to discuss your plans.
A good tax pro should be able to recommend several ways to help keep the tax bite as painless as possible.
Q.: I've heard that it's against the Muslim faith to borrow money. Does that mean their religion prevents them from taking out a mortgage?
A.: Conservative Muslims shun American-style home loans because Islamic law (known as Shariah) essentially considers it a sin to pay or receive interest. But several U.S. banks have painstakingly developed special loan programs that Muslim scholars say adhere to Shariah, in part because lenders don't want to miss out on the profit potential of our nation's fast-growing and relatively wealthy Muslim population.
One type of program involves a 10-year lease with an option to buy. Under it, the Muslim client chooses a property and makes a 20 percent down payment. The rest of the purchase price is financed by a bank or a nonprofit that takes out a conventional mortgage in its own name.
The Muslim then sends the bank a monthly rent check that the bank can use to make its own mortgage payments and earn a profit.
The Muslim has the right to purchase the property any time during the course of the 10-year lease, or can extend the agreement for an additional seven years.
If the Muslim customer decides to move early, he or she can exercise the purchase option and simultaneously sell the home to a new buyer. Depending on the terms of the original agreement, the resale profit is either kept entirely by the seller or shared with the bank or nonprofit group.

Traders call off protest as govt mulls Mumbai-specific model
Meeting held at the behest of NCP concluded with state assurance that it will consider suggestions of the retailers and hold talks on LBT in the legislature
Not prepared to cede ground to ally Congress in wooing traders, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) ensured another meeting was held in the presence of its supremo Sharad Pawar between the merchants and the state government yesterday. Members of the Federation of Associations of Maharashtra (FAM) termed the conference, headed by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, as 'satisfactory' and 'purposeful'.
Representatives of Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association (FRTWA) were also present and put forth their suggestions with regard to the new tariff. Following the meet, FAM is said to have suspended all agitation against LBT for a month.
Assurances had also been offered to a section of retailers by the state government during the parley on Thursday, called at the behest of Congress leaders from Mumbai. After BJP and Shiv Sena announced their wholehearted support to traders, ruling Congress and NCP have done their bit to show solidarity, commented a senior minister. It's a telling fact that apart from MNS to a certain extent, no other major political player in the state has sided with the consumers.
The meeting saw Mohan Gurnani, president of FAM, explain problems related to LBT. Advocate Deepak Bapat and Chartered Accountant Prakash Mehta further explained these issues on behalf of FAM. The chief minister has decided to form a core committee of about 15 to 20 members under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Jayant Kumar Banthia, also comprising representatives from the trading community. This panel will submit its findings in a month's time.
Viren Shah, president of FRTWA, said, "A suggestion was made by our association that all retailers doing business within city limits should not be brought under the scope of LBT. Although we were told that the new tax is here to stay, probability is high that its details would change. At the meeting, it was also decided that in a month's time, a Mumbai-specific LBT model would be worked out."

RIO DE JANEIRO - Police in Brazil have arrested at least 18 people at anti-World Cup protests and broke up a group of rowdy Argentine fans with pepper spray in Rio de Janeiro.
At one protest in Belo Horizonte, the southeastern city that hosted Saturday's match between Colombia and Greece, police arrested 15 people carrying petrol bombs, knives, masks and bottles of vinegar, which demonstrators use to relieve the effects of tear gas.
The group of about 200 people had been trying to march to the city's stadium.
In the northeastern city of Fortaleza, around 100 protesters approached the stadium where Costa Rica were playing Uruguay.
Police arrested three of them, said news website G1.
Some 1,500 Argentinian fans meanwhile partied on Rio de Janeiro's famous Copacabana beach ahead of their team's debut against Bosnia Sunday, G1 reported.
The fans blocked traffic at one point on beachside thoroughfare Atlantic Avenue, prompting police to use pepper spray to disperse them.
A Pope Francis impersonator could be seen at the Argentines' party, greeting revellers from a car and brandishing a replica World Cup trophy.
The real pope, an Argentine native, is a passionate football fan.

Sorry, but what's the sense of wasting this kind of sporting entertainment on a cold April night?
"These are baseball games," said Boston's Jason Varitek, a batting star in last night's 8-5 triumph over the Yankees. "If you don't enjoy watching these games, you don't enjoy baseball."
The problem is we've already played one-third of our allotted 19 Red Sox-Yankee games before tax returns had to be filed or the starter's gun was fired at Hopkinton. This is absolute criminal scheduling.
A game like this should not be played on a frigid April night. A game like this should be played on a sweltering August night. It just should, and if you have to ask why, you just don't get it. But it sure was an interesting evening, and the 35,251 in attendance will have something to talk about at the workplace today.
Such as . . .
Mild-mannered batting coach Ron Jackson and Terry Francona each banished before the end of the fourth inning by home plate umpire Greg Gibson, whose conception of the strike zone didn't seem to match theirs.
Randy Johnson giving up three home runs, including the first as a Red Sox by both Jay Payton and Edgar Renteria.
Tom Gordon getting rocked again by the team for whom he once registered 46 saves in a season.
Keith Foulke throwing a staggering 53 pitches in two innings of work to pick up the victory.
And the wildest moment . . .
Gary Sheffield pausing to take a swipe of sorts at a fan he believed had punched him before making a throw back to the infield on an eighth-inning Varitek shot that hugged the right-field wall, the ball rolling all the way to the Mohegan Sun sign in front of Section 1.
This Sheffield/fan business caused a lot of commotion. The Yankees came charging out of the bullpen in support of their right fielder. Security men appeared from everywhere. It looked menacing. But the truth is, this was nowhere near the top of the list of bizarre fan happenings at Red Sox-Yankee games. I mean, can a guy taking a halfhearted poke at Sheffield compare to someone throwing a bolt at Mickey Rivers or a dart at Chris Chambliss? You'd almost have to say that things have seldom been more civilized around here.
As far as the actual baseball is concerned, we are, predictably, right where we started a week ago Sunday. Each team has won two of three at home. The Yankees beat Boston ace Curt Schilling. The Red Sox hit the aforementioned three homers (the third being a shot onto Lansdowne Street by Mr. Varitek) off the Big Unit to deprive him of a decision. The A-Rod saga continues (last night he was 1 for 5 with a bloop single and an RBI). The Mariano Rivera saga continues. The Yankees still can't hit Tim Wakefield. We haven't learned anything new.
What we do know is that it's time for these two to separate for a while. "It seems like they're the only team we play," said Derek Jeter, who was only half-kidding.
Going back to the ALCS, that is almost literally true. The last seven Yankee games of the 2004 season were against the Red Sox. Now six of the first nine games of the 2005 season have been against the Red Sox. The teams have arrived at the conclusion that enough is enough. It's time to glare at somebody else.
But this one will give the fans something to remember them by. The Red Sox got two-run homers by Payton (center-field bleachers) and Renteria (first row of the Monster seats), but Bronson Arroyo, who was laboring from the start, couldn't hold a 4-1 lead. The Yankees went ahead with a four-run fourth, a lead that Randy gave right back when Varitek redirected a 94-mile-per-hour fastball up and over the famed seats atop the Wall. And that's where we were, tied at 5, as the Red Sox entered the eighth.
Gordon was out there, and that is now a very welcome sight for Red Sox hitters. It only took two batters for the Sox to go ahead, 6-5, as Johnny Damon singled to center and Renteria doubled off the wall in left-center to score the noted author, who had been running with the pitch.
The real fun began four batters later. There were two on and two out when Varitek sent one down the right-field line. Sheffield, who had a problem or two with the treacherous Fenway right field last year, did not get a good read at all. He failed to reach the ball before it began negotiating the curve, and that means three bases, minimum. As he caught up with the ball, a fan wearing a blue jacket with a Red Sox logo and a Red Sox baseball cap, made a swipe. You can't say he was reaching for the ball, because he was nowhere near the ground. And if he was actually going after Sheffield, it wasn't with any real force. But that's not the way Sheffield saw it. He picked up the ball, made a physical gesture back at the fan, and then threw the ball back.
It was all stupid and unnecessary, but, in the end , nothing really happened. Joe Torre disagreed. "No question, these people shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets, much less come to a ballgame," the Yankee manager fumed.
Turning our attention back to baseball, we had the sight of closer Foulke going to 3 and 2 on four straight batters in the ninth. He needed 22 pitches to retire the side after putting the first two men on with nobody out. "I can't blame it on fatigue," he said. "My arm felt fine. My mechanics are horrible right now."
"He really battled," said Varitek. "I don't think he was worried about his pitch count. He's just trying to find himself right now."
Where the Red Sox and Yankees find themselves right now is behind both Toronto and Baltimore in the standings, but who's worried about that? It's April 15! The Red Sox and the Yankees are the two best teams the American League has to offer, and they will prove it. But the Feature Presentation is supposed to follow the Previews, not the other way around.
Schedulers: Wake up, will ya? We don't need to waste six of these precious games in April.

Application: Frog Dissection
What it is: The Virtual Frog Dissection app from Punflay is a fantastic alternative to the real deal in the classroom. The app is perfect for students who are learning about organs and the organ system in life science. The app is brilliant in the way it offers students all of the tools that come with a real dissection with out all the mess (and smell…do you all remember the smell *gag reflex kicking in*). Students are led through the dissection procedure step by step, guided all the way through. When students have completed the dissection, the frog's organs are exposed so students can study them further. High quality 3D images make it easy for students to visualize the organs. The app also includes great reference information about different types of frogs, a frogs life cycle, an anatomical comparison between frogs and humans, a quiz and detailed descriptions of the organs. The step-by-step instructions include voice over, perfect for accessibility to all students.
How Virtual Frog Dissection from Punflay can enrich learning: First of all, did I mention this app is free from the smell of Formaldehyde? That alone makes it worth it's weight in gold (in my humble opinion)! Virtual Frog Dissection solves the budgetary and physical problems of getting a frog for every student. Not only that, it is a much greener alternative. The app has been beautifully created with attention to detail. Students will get the full effect of a wet dissection lab without needing all of the tools. Best of all, students can go back through the lab over and over again. This gives them the opportunity to review learning and process, something that isn't possible with real frog dissections.
Use this app as an alternative to actual dissection, or use it to prepare students for a real dissection.
Devices: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.2 or later
Price: $4.99 (iTunes Link)

Two suspects accused of shooting at Los Angeles police officers in Highland Park were in custody Friday, a department official said.
The suspects — one in his late teens, the other in his early 20s – were arrested about 1 a.m. Oct. 25, Los Angeles police Lt. Richard Parks said.
The weapon said to be used in the alleged shooting, a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, was recovered, Parks said.
A SWAT team was dispatched to the 2200 block of North Avenue 57 in Highland Park after the "shots fired" call was received from officers about 7.30 p.m. Oct. 24.
Parks said four or five shots were fired.
The shooting suspects were found in an apartment building on the 2200 block, which was evacuated in the course of the search.
A perimeter around the apartment building remained partially in place early today, with some residents unable to return to their units as officers continued to search for evidence.

Imagine that your local school is considering a shift to game-based learning both for students and for its staff. As a member of the parent advisory board, people are looking to you for advice about the wisdom of this move. What will you say?
The leadership at Dewey Hexadecimal High School has always tried to stay at the cutting edge of both technology and pedagogy. That's why you sent your daughter there. As an involved parent and generous professional, you became actively involved with the school's parent association right from the start.
While DHHS does pretty well by most measures, there is room for improvement, and the school is more ready than most to try new approaches. At the last meeting of the advisory board, the principal described with excitement the things she learned about game-based learning at a recent conference. Motivated students! Creative thinking! 21st century job skills! The sessions she attended pressed all the right buttons.
Given your background, the members of the advisory board are looking to you to say something smart about this idea. What will you say?

It is Mayawati vs all others in Uttar PradeshDecember 25th, 2011 - 7:17 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, Dec 25 (IANS) The race for the next assembly in Uttar Pradesh may be largely four cornered. But, it is increasingly evident that the electoral battle slated for February in the country's most populous state is bound to largely remain Mayawati vs the rest.
Be it Samajwadi Party (SP), the leading opposition group, the Congress or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), each one is ready to dig into the votes of Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which not only managed to romp home in 2007 with 206 seats in the 403 member house, but also raised its strength over the past four years to 218.
The common ground on which Mayawati and her regime are being targetted is "large scale corruption" and "despotism". What has also gone against her is her perceived inaccessibility, where none other than those invited by her can have an audience with her.
While SP's Mulayam Singh Yadav is busy accusing Mayawati of running the state like her "private fiefdon", Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi has been busy blasting the ruling party for "large-scale pilferage of funds" released by the centre towards various development, social security or poverty alleviation programmes. The BJP has been trying to dismiss the ruling party as among the "most corrupt regimes in the country".
Interestingly, while taking on each one of these political outfits by the horns, Mayawati is trying to fight back with all her might. Sure enough, the task is neither easy nor simple. In the absence of sufficient genuine achievements she could boast of, Mayawati's strategy is focussed on training her guns at each of the political rivals.
Labelling SP as a party of "goondas" and "criminals" and reminding people of the "rise in crime during the Mulayam regime", Mayawati is hoping to sail through by reviving her image of a ruthlessly tough task-master who is ready to bring every criminal to book.
"You can see how unlike any other party, the BSP has never protected any one - no matter however high or mighty - in case he is found indulging in any kind of criminal activities", she claims while citing the example of her party MPs or MLAs who were put behind bars when their unlawful activities came to the fore. "I have not even spared my ministers, whom I have sacked once they were indicted by the state Lokayukta for being involved in corruption", she emphasises.
At least four of her important ministers and nearly half a dozen of her party MPs or legislators got axed over the past few months, though her detractors are of the view that such action was initiated essentially to impress upon the electorate that she continues to remain a "no-nonsense" chief minister, even as accusations of her personal indulgence in corruption are gaining round.
Notwithstanding her tall claims, there is little that she can do about the anti-incumbency factor that is hanging over her like the sword of damocles. And none of the key political parties are ready to let go the opportunity to convert her losses into their gains.
Thus if Mulayam Singh is working up to snatch the Muslim vote from her existing kitty to raise its 2007 tally of 97, BJP, with its 2007 strength of 51, is moving heaven and earth to woo Brahmins back to its fold after a chunk of them had gone all out to support her in 2007 to forge a unique Dalit-Brahmin axis that propelled Mayawati to power.
Numerically speaking, it is the Congress that is faced with the toughest call - to take its tally ahead from its last assembly score of 22. Therefore, it is leaving no stone unturned to win back Muslims as well as a section of Dalits and the most backward castes (MBCs). And that is where Rahul Gandhi is doing his bit to attack both BSP and SP.
Under the prevailing scenario, political pundits as well as surveys have already predicted a hung assembly in 2012. But with politicians known to make strange bedfellows, it would be really too early predict the post-poll picture. For the time being, it is going to be Mayawati versus the others - SP, Congress and BJP.
