Iron model of the joints in a human skeleton, Italy, 1570-1700
The iron model showing the joints of a skeleton is very similar to the illustration in Fabricius's Opera Chirurgica, his 'Surgical Works', first published in 1582. The model was possibly used to teach pupils about limb articulation as well as limb dislocation, injuries to limb joints and their subsequent treatment. Hieronymus Fabricius ab Aquadependente (c. 1553-1619) was professor of anatomy at the University of Padua, Italy, from 1565.

Halloween, sometimes known as Fright Night, is tomorrow. To make sure the night is truly not a scary ordeal, be sure that safety is part of the plans for the night.
The night belongs to youngsters and safety should be observed with the little ones in mind. Before they head out, there are certain situations to consider.
O ne in eight. That's the likelihood of a woman in the United States getting invasive breast cancer in her lifetime, according to BreastCancer.org. That is an alarming statistic. All of us know someone who has breast cancer – be it a family member, friend or acquaintance.
On Sunday, we introduced you to Jan Hicks – a two-time breast cancer survivor. As a registered nurse and case manager for Springs Memorial Hospital, Hicks is all too familiar with cancer's impact on those diagnosed with the devastating disease and their loved ones.
The recent Lancaster County Board of Zoning Appeals vote to overturn the county decision on the nonconforming-use status of Thomas Concrete left us scratching our heads.
What looked like a simple case of a plant losing its grandfathered status, and thus its right to operate, got a lot more complicated at the Oct. 11 BZA hearing.
It has been a whale of a season for Lancaster High School junior swimmer Jory Pettit.
Pettit capped the 2011 swim campaign with an individual state crown in the 50-yard freestyle at the recent Class AAAA state swim meet.
Pettit brilliantly topped a tough field, edging Byrnes High School's Alex Wood by a slim margin.
Pettit's winning 21.47 was the result of a fast finish. Wood, who won the 100-yard freestyle state crown, was a close second in 21.61.
If you travel early mornings on White Street during the work week, you can see them. Dawn has barely faded and they're already lined up, waiting for the doors to open to the S.C. Employment Security Commission.
Chronic and increasing unemployment. Home foreclosures. Loss of health insurance. More homeless families. All of these factors paint a bleak economic picture. But this is not a startling revelation. We're all fully aware of our economic conditions. But some recently released data does reveal some startling statistics.
According to the 2011 KIDS COUNT Data Book published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the U.S. Census, the economy is having a negative impact on the most vulnerable of society – children.
If you have the misfortune of experiencing a life-threatening ordeal like a heart attack or stroke, you do have the good fortune of having a quality hospital nearby to help save your life.
Doug Arbour, chief executive officer of Springs Memorial Hospital in Lancaster, is living proof.
On a night in mid-May, Arbour awoke with what he thought was indigestion.
It wasn't. It was worse, much worse. In this case a massive heart attack.
The town of Kershaw has taken the first step on the trail.
The trail, in this case, is the Carolina Thread Trail, which will feature greenways and other natural sites throughout 15 counties in the Carolinas.
Kershaw and other area entities have pledged their support in theory, but Kershaw's latest backing of the master plan means the chance for funding that will go for the creation, or enhancement of pathways here.
In this day of "going green," it's a natural move now and for our future.
The Performing Arts Series has been a popular event at the University of South Carolina Lancaster's Bundy Auditorium.
Few can find little to complain about in the events, which have featured quality entertainment here sponsored by See Lancaster, SC, which oversees the PAS.
"The complaint I hear almost daily is the cost of tickets," said Jimola Wade, who manages the Performing Arts Series. "Our community has spoken and I want them to know that I'm listening. I can't change things overnight, but I'm working hard at it."
It's almost show time for the sixth annual Fall into Fun festival in Indian Land.
Saturday's festival at Indian Land Middle School promises to be a lot of fun for everyone from toddlers to teens and older folks, all for a good cause.
This year's event will raise funds for the Indian Land Rotary Club's local projects, such as Del Webb Library programs, school media center materials, dictionaries for IL third-graders, scholarships for local students and more. You can do your part by coming to the festival.

our news
I mentioned we had some news that we shared with our friends in our new years card (and a special thank you to our patient friends and family who actually sat down and de-coded the card!). We wanted to share our big news with my parents and our children Bee and C on Christmas morning, so we decided to tell everyone all at once.
I offered to help my parents with their Christmas card this year and decided to do a Family Tree showing how our family is growing (there were 3 new babies in 2009). My parents have six children (I'm the fourth) and between my siblings and I there are 14 grandchildren. While I had everyone together this summer for our annual family reunion, I asked each person to stand against a wall so I could take their photo (mug shot style, with a sideways profile..). Later I traced the photos in Illustrator to make silhouettes of each person in our family. The result was a family tree chart that we printed on 10x14 sheets of paper and folded in fours and mailed out as Christmas cards.
For a gift to my parents I printed a large poster size version, framed it in a simple black frame, and wrapped it up for them to open Christmas morning. My mom unwrapped the gift with Bee and C sitting next to her. Immediately Bee and C wanted to know where they were in the chart, so my mom pointed to their silhouettes. And that's when she realized that this chart had a new addition (fourth row).
A new little baby for our family. It was perfect. My mom screamed, and the children literally jumped for joy (they've been asking for a baby for over a year now). It might be the happiest Christmas morning ever.

Colton has a special place in my heart.
I lived in Colton, went to elementary school there and attended Colton First Baptist Church in the 1960s. I evengot married at Colton First Baptist Church. I lived on Rancho Avenue and later moved to a new house on Grand Avenue and walked to Grant Elementary School. I still think about my kindergarten teacher Miss Reagan.
Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting a terrific restaurant called Spanglish Mexican/American Restaurant located in Rancho Plaza on Rancho Avenue near Colton High School.
It opened about five weeks ago and is a lovely restaurant. The dining area has a casual atmosphere with several tables and booths decorated in a colorful Mexican decor. The menu features a nice selection of traditional Mexican breakfast items such as a breakfast special for $3.99, huevos rancheros for $6.99, breafast burritos for $4.99, plus American items like biscuits and gravy for $4.95, pancakes for $3.95, eggs Benedict and omelettes. The menu also includes a variety of Mexican and American choices for lunch and dinner including nachos for $4.95 or $5.95 with a choice of chicken or carnes asada, burgers starting at $4.99 and up, including a vegetarian burger for $6.95, grilled chicken salad for $7.95, plus a few dinner plates like honey lime grilled chicken breast for $8.95, which all include a choice of rice or rosemary potatoes and vegetables. Menudo is offered on Saturday and Sundays, $6.95 for a small serving, $9.95 for a large serving.
I ordered the two tilapia fish tacos with mango sauce including beans and rice for $7.99. A basket of crispy tortilla chips and salsa were brought to my table for me to enjoy while I waited for lunch. The freshly made salsa was excellent and kept me busy while I waited for the main course, which arrived pronto.
Each corn tortilla featured strips of grilled tilapia, freshly shredded cabbage, diced tomato, corn, topped with a sweet mango sauce with a cup of spicy red chile sauce. The rice and beans were hot and very good. Even though I had managed to eat most of the tortilla chips and salsa, I ate both fish tacos, plus the refried beans and rice. Fresh and delicious — who can ask for more?
Spanglish Mexican/American Restaurant offers traditional Mexican fare, plus a few American selections, with prices that are easy on the wallet with outstanding service.
It's nice to know that Colton still has great places like this to visit, and I am sure the restaurant will be a big success.

Patent Troll Claims That Showing A Video With A Static Ad Next To It Infringes
from the really-now? deptJeff Roberts has the story of how a patent troll named Mobile Transformation LLC has sued Buzzfeed for patent infringement, claiming that its patent (6,351,736) covers the fact that Buzzfeed has both an embedded video and a static ad on certain pages. From the lawsuit:
More specifically, and by way of non-limiting example, the www.buzzfeed.com website uses an embedded flash player to present a first data type of a video file of "Boris v Romney" along with the presentation of advertising data of a second type that includes a static image advertisement for "Sour Patch Kids," for example.Assuming that Buzzfeed hasn't changed its post, the description in the lawsuit appears to be in error. It claims that the web server downloads both the video and the advertisement. But, the video is an embed from YouTube and the advertising on the page is served from DoubleClick. In other words, the "Defendant Website" downloads neither of the items in question, contrary to the lawsuit's claims.
For purposes of Claim 64, when a web browser of a client device displays the Defendant Website, the web server that serves the Defendant Website downloads both the video file (first data type) and the static image advertisement (second data type). The web server that serves the Defendant Website then executes executable code created by Defendant's content authors/website administrators. The executable code includes both the first and second commands for the presentation of the first and second data types, respectively. The executable code couples the presentation of the first and second data types. That is, because the first and second data types are linked together via executable code, the presentation of the first data type causes the presentation of the second data type, automatically. The web server that serves the Defendant Website presents the first data type to the web browser of the client device. Namely, video file of "Boris v Romney" is presented along with the static image advertisement for "Sour Patch Kids." Thus, the presentation of the video file causes the presentation of the static image advertisement, though not necessarily always in that order.
But, more to the point, the claims in the lawsuit seem ridiculous even if both were served by Buzzfeed. Having a static ad appear next to a video is not what this patent was intended to cover. Even the patent itself describes a system of playing a video advertisement next to a music file -- a completely different situation and purpose. Besides, while embedding videos certainly came out well after this patent came along, the idea of ads running next to videos is hardly new or innovative. The problem here seems to be that the patent examiners, Eric W. Stamber and Mussie Tesfamariam, let a ridiculously broad claim through that the company is now using to file lawsuits over something crazy obvious (having both videos and ads on the same page) that it contributed nothing to.
Buzzfeed is hardly the only lawsuit that Mobile Technologies LLC has filed either. The company has been a busy little bee. The sites it's sued include Wetpaint, Publishers Clearing House, Glam Media, Evolve, BabyCenter, Hollywood.com, DailyMotion, ProjectPlaylist, Justin TV and Radar Online, among many others. Oddly, I see that one of the inventors listed on the patent is Lior Cohen, which is the name of Warner Music's CEO. I'm going to assume that this is not the same Lior Cohen, however. The patent was originally held by Adware LI Inc., and was then assigned to Everad, who later assigned it to EIP Company LLC. There isn't an official assignment to Mobile Technologies LLC in the USPTO database, but that doesn't mean anything. It could not yet be recorded or there may be shell companies involved or a licensing deal or who knows what. Either way, it's yet another example of a mysterious patent holder with a broad patent using it against something completely different than what the patent is supposed to be about, and going after a ton of companies in the process.

New York Derailment Kills 4
Officials Say 63 Injured in Commuter Train Cars off Tracks Near Spuyten Duyvil Station on Hudson Line
NEW YORK—The engineer of a commuter train that derailed Sunday in New York City—killing four and injuring more than 60 others—didn't apply brakes as usual when approaching a tight curve where the speed limit drops abruptly from 70 mph to 30 mph, according to people familiar with the investigation.
The southbound Metro-North Railroad train was carrying about 150 passengers when it derailed around 7:20 a.m. in the Bronx, just north of Manhattan at an inlet where the Hudson and Harlem rivers meet. All seven passenger cars...

Like you, Sabian artists are faced with the choice of a wide array of Sabian cymbals and sounds, from a dazzling selection of metals and series. For many of them, the journey to answer the question "What's Your Sound" has become an Obsession. We've approached some of our most Obsessed artists to find out what sounds excite them, and which cymbals inspire them to create magic.
During this process, we've also learned more about what drives each of these artists – not just musically, but personally. Like Ray Luzier's Obsession with finding the perfect gourmet dessert. And Jojo Mayer's Obsession with magic tricks. Then there's Dave Weckl's Obsession with racing his 505HP Corvette Z06.
Follow along with us right here throughout the year as we explore the many Obsessions of your favorite Sabian artists.

Recreation vehicle manufacturer Glendale International Corp., Oakville, Ontario, reported today (Jan. 19) that it has voluntarily filed for bankruptcy under Canadian bankruptcy laws, according to a news release.
All corporate directors have resigned and the company expects Ernst & Young Inc. to be appointed as trustee of the estate of the corporation.
"The recent economic downturn, the rising Canadian dollar and higher gas prices have had a devastating effect on the recreational vehicle industry in North America," said Edward Hanna, chairman and CEO. "Over the past few months the corporation has undertaken an extensive internal review as well as engaged outside consultants to assist it in reviewing all available options and strategies which it could pursue to rebuild the recreational vehicle division, its primary business. However, given that there does not appear to be a significant rebound of the Canadian RV industry and the commercial structure business for the energy sector in the near term, the board of directors determined that a voluntary assignment in bankruptcy was in the best interests of the corporation's stakeholders."
The Canadian Press reported that Glendale has manufacturing plants in Strathroy, in southwestern Ontario, and Red Deer, in central Alberta.
According the most recent financial report issued by the company in October, the Glendale RV division had just under $9 million in sales for the first nine months of 2009 — down from about $16.6 million in the same period of 2008.
Sales at the Travelaire division were more resilient, falling to $6 million from $6.7 million in the first nine months of 2008.
In addition, Glendale is part owner of Firan Technology Group Corp., which makes printed circuit boards for the aerospace and defense industry.
Marketer of the Titanium and Travelaire RV brands among others, Glendale was founded in 1971 and at one point held a 40% share of the Canadian RV market. The company's parent, Firan Corp., was a factor in the U.S. market in the 1990s, operating two Elkhart, Ind.-area companies — Firan Motor Coach Inc. in Elkhart and Fireside RV Inc. in Bristol.
The Toronto Stock Exchange said it has begun an expedited review to delist the company's shares from the key stock market.
Telephone calls by RVBUSINESS.com to the company went unanswered.

Hi Everyone! It's Jera from www.QuiltingInTheRain.blogspot.com bringing you another MBS tutorial! This is a simple and beautiful quilt that will make your favorite fabrics pop! Check out my 3-step tutorial below that uses jelly roll strips to make the entire quilt top.
I used the Summer House collection by Lily Ashbury. Make one yourself and checkout my blog at www.QuiltingInTheRain.blogspot.com for a chance to win a Terrain jelly roll by Kate Spain!
- 1 jelly roll (you will have plenty of leftover strips!)
- 1 solid white jelly roll
- 3 yards backing
Step 1 – Trim the strips from both the colored and solid white jelly roll to the exact measurements represented in the cutting diagram below. (Note: the measurements below are the exact cutting measurements of the unfinished pieces). Since a jelly roll strip is 2.5″x44″ long, in some cases you will need to sew a couple strips together and then trim it to get the measurements shown below.
Step 2 – Using a 1/4″ seam allowance, sew all the pieces in each row together, and then sew all rows together.
Step 3 – Add the borders. Sew enough strips together until you have these measurements:
- Left and right borders – 46.5″ long. Sew these on first.
- Top and bottom borders – 57″ long.
Sew together six leftover strips to create the binding. A binding tutorial can be found here.
That's it! Simple and absolutely beautiful! Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
Happy Quilting!
57″ x 50.5″

The following artists/photographers are included in the show, with the number of works on display and image details listed after the names. No edition information was available on the checklist.
- Andrea Longacre-White: 3 archival inkjet prints, framed in white and unmatted, each 36x26, from 2012
- Travess Smalley: 3 digital c-prints, framed in white and unmatted, each 40x30
- Kate Steciw: 3 c-prints with mixed media and plexiglas, framed in oak and unmatted, each 40x30, from 2012; 1 sculpture (customized metal), 2012
- Artie Vierkant: 1 six-pass UV print on Sintra, unframed, 54x16, from 2012; 1 sculpture (IKEA Vilgot, IKEA Dignitet, screws), from 2012; 1 sculpture (IKEA Grundtal, North Face Etip gloves), from 2012
Andrea Longacre-White's images are complex and interlocked, using meticulous stratified rephotography to build up textural monochrome abstractions (installation shot at right, top). Her works contain areas that alternate between the crisply sharp and the softly blurred or pixelated, paper layers ripped and cut into angular lines and geometric forms again and again, covering the narrow spectrum from black to white. I was impressed by both the conceptual sharpness and the elegant balance of these works, and I liked the small digital cursors that popped up in expected locations, confusing my ability to unpack the overall temporal order.
At first glance, Travis Smalley's all-over abstract works look like colorful swirled finger paints, but as you move in closer, they begin to have an unexpectedly undulating texture. This is when you realize that things are not as they seem. The works were made by putting modeling clay on the glass bed of a scanner, and the resulting flat images document the squishiness of the clay and the artist's left over smears and fingerprints (installation shot at right, second from top). It's a new twist on intermediated process, offering unexpected avenues for exploring fluid abstraction.
Kate Steciw's works are unabashedly digitally manipulated, taking garish stock photos in blazing lurid colors and bending and chopping them into busy angles and smooth curves, almost like marbled Italian papers, albeit with a harsh dizzying brightness (installation shot at right, second from bottom). Her images are then adorned with lines of colored tape, pink sponges, carpet remnants, silvery stickers, and chrome car parts stuck right on prints and frames, bringing them into the realm of collage or combine and adding texture and depth to her brash, knife-edged palette.
Finally, Artie Vierkant's pastel gradient object has perhaps traveled the farthest from photography, forgoing any camera based imagery at all for a dive into software (installation shot at right, bottom). This work is clean and machined to perfection, almost like a blurred Bauhaus photogram, reinterpreted in a 21st century aesthetic.
Overall, this show is an insightful sampler of some of the recent approaches being used to reconsider contemporary photography in object form. All the works play with conversion and transformation, starting with one visual idea and rendering it in an altered form, where the reconstruction process modifies the original in innovative ways. While we're clearly still in the first phase of this trend, the overall concept has certainly opened up some new, uncharted white space for photographers to investigate.
- Andrea Longacre-White: $2500 each
- Travess Smalley: $1700 each
- Kate Steciw: $3000 each for the prints, $1800 for the sculpture
- Artie Vierkant: $4500 for the print, $2400 and $1600 for the sculptures
None of these artists/photographers has much if any secondary market history, so at this point, gallery retail is likely the only option for interested collectors looking to follow up.
Rating: * (one star) GOOD (rating system described here)

DUBUQUE, Iowa-- The Wartburg football team (6-1 overall, 4-0 IIAC) won its fifth-straight game with the 22-15 win over Iowa Conference opponent, Dubuque (4-3, 3-1) to remain as the only undefeated team in conference play.
After senior Jake Holsteen (Mediapolis) caught a 17-yard pass from classmate Taylor Jacobsmeier (Wapello) with 0:35 remaining, the Spartans had the ball on their own 27-yard line with 0:31 to play.
Dubuque brought the ball to the Wartburg 48 but an interception by junior Andrew Ganshirt (Dubuque) helped seal the win.
The Spartans were the first team on the board as they scored a safety in the first quarter after they blocked a Wartburg punt in the end zone.
Dubuque tried to extend its lead in the second quarter, but was unsuccessful on a 44-yard field goal attempt.
Jacobsmeier gave the Knights the 6-2 lead as he kept the ball himself for a four-yard touchdown run and the score was 7-2 after sophomore Michael Bohlke (Manchester) made the extra point kick.
In the third quarter, the Spartans took the 8-7 lead as quarterback Bryan Bradshaw ran it in from five-yards out, but were unsuccessful on the two-point conversion.
Holsteen scored his first touchdown of the day on the Orange and Black's ensuing drive, this one for a three-yard reception. Wartburg was successful on its two-point conversion as junior Donald Miller (Maywood) caught Jacobsmeier's pass.
The Spartans knotted the score on their next drive to make the score 15-15.
The Knights got the ball back on their own 32-yard line late in the fourth quarter and constructed a seven play, 68-yard drive to take the 22-15 lead.
Jacobsmeier led the Orange and Black in all-purpose yards as he had 87 yards on the ground and 70 through the air.
Holsteen led all receivers with four catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns and set new career marks in every category.

Apple releases iOS 6.1, adds LTE carriers, tweaks security
Also teaches Siri to spend US users' money on Fandango tix
Apple has released iOS 6.1, which adds LTE support for more carriers worldwide, but not much more in terms of features for a release that's graced with a full "dot-digit" numerical upgrade.
"Apple today updated iOS to version 6.1, adding LTE capabilities to 36 additional iPhone carriers and 23 additional iPad carriers around the world," the company said in a release announcing the update, and Cook & Co. have helpfully upgraded their lists of supported LTE networks for the iPhone and iPad to reflect those additions.
Also included in the update are a number of security improvements that make it worth the download, including kernel, Identity Services, WebKit, and StoreKit tweaks, plus the closing of Broadcom Wi-Fi vulns in the iPhone 3GS and 4, fourth-gen iPod touch, and iPad 2. That pesky Turktrust security cock-up has also been addressed.
Feature-wise, iOS 6.1 updaters will now be able to download individual songs from iTunes Match accounts, and US users will be able to use Siri to buy movie tickets through Fandango – that is, of course, if Siri can understand you when you mumble "Jab Tak Hai Jann".
As with all iOS updates, you can use either iTunes or your iDevice itself to download the latest operating system. Unless you have plenty of time on your hands, however, we highly recommend using your iPhone or iPad itself to do the deed. Here's the size of the iOS 6.1 update as reported by iTunes:
And here it is when we accessed it through Settings > General > Software Update on our iPhone 5:
You'll also notice that you'll need at least 1GB of free storage space to complete the update process; you can clear that much either by tapping the Usage Settings button and deleting some apps on the listing that appears, or by going back to iTunes to delete tunes, videos, or other items. Caveat updator, as the Romans used to say.
After you update your device, and if you're an iCloud user, you'll also need to re-enter your iCloud password. There are also three new security questions to invent, and you'll need to add a recovery email address and respond to the standard pain-in-the-hiney email account-verification process.
Speaking of security questions, your humble Reg reporter's first car was a Pontiac Bonneville; what was yours? ®

Guantánamo plea deal unveils new trial strategy
When a suburban Baltimore high school graduate steps out of the shadows of CIA detention this week to admit to serving the senior leadership of al Qaida, the Obama administration will be unveiling its latest strategy toward an endgame.
Majid Khan has agreed to be a government witness at future military commissions, sources say, in exchange for Wednesday's guilty plea and the possibility of return to his native Pakistan in four years. It's part of an evolving effort to quell criticism that confessions were extracted through torture by offering live testimony from willing captive witnesses.
"It's like organized crime," said retired Air Force Col. Morris Davis, a Bush-era Pentagon war crimes prosecutor. "Sometimes you pick the lesser of the two evils and bargain with who you can."
Federal prosecutors describe Khan, who turns 32 Tuesday, as a one-time willing foot soldier for radical Islam. He allegedly recorded a martyr's message and donned a fake bomb vest in 2003 in a test to see whether he was willing to kill then-Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. He allegedly delivered $50,000 from Pakistan to Thailand, money used to fund an al Qaida affiliate's August 2003 suicide attack on a Marriott hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia. Eleven people died, and more than 80 others were wounded.
The attack's alleged architect, Riduan Bin Ismouddin, an Indonesian man known as Hambali, and two reputed Malaysian deputies were, like Khan, subjected to years of secret CIA interrogations — never charged but still at Guantánamo and, according to a Malaysian newspaper's report, in the queue to face military trials.
Less clear is how Khan would help at a 9/11 trial. His charge sheet allege he joined al Qaida after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The Majid Khan plea also illustrates a new merging of military and federal prosecutorial techniques that was absent at the start of the war court, said veteran New York defense lawyer Joshua Dratel whose client, David Hicks, was the first to make a plea deal and the first war criminal convicted at Guantánamo, in 2007.
"They didn't have a clue how to make a deal," Dratel said.
Then it was driven by politics. Hicks was released to his native Australia ostensibly to help then Prime Minister John Howard silence critics of Australia's war on terror alliance with the Bush administration as he was seeking re-election. Howard lost anyway and military prosecutors got no live testimony from Hicks, a potentially useful English-speaking insider who, like Khan, could straddle both cultures in explaining how al Qaeda worked to a military jury.
Now, says Dratel, the prosecutors are trying to institute a more "traditional criminal law approach to these cases: Get cooperators, move up the ladder and look for ways to neutralize defense arguments by creating different independent avenues of presenting the same evidence."
Or, put another way, "the deal bank is open," said Dratel.
Pentagon officials won't discuss the strategy, except to say that at the Obama war court evidence gleaned through torture is both inadmissible and illegal. "We are approaching the public prosecution function as military and federal prosecutors do, seeking evidence through every available and lawful process," said Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the current chief war court prosecutor.
Khan has always been a bit of an anomaly among the CIA's so-called "ghost prisoners" who were subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques." His parents live in suburban Baltimore, where they moved the family in the '90s and became legal residents. Khan graduated from Owings Mills High School in 1999 and went back to Pakistan after the 9/11 attacks over the objections of his parents, who hid his passport.
Pakistani security forces arrested him in 2003. FBI agents searched the family's Baltimore house and trailed them for a time. The family heard no news of their son until September 2006 when President George W. Bush announced that "a terrorist named Majid Khan" was in custody and had confessed under interrogation to delivering "$50,000 to individuals working for a suspected terrorist leader named Hambali, the leader of al Qaeda's Southeast Asian affiliate."
A year later, defense attorneys filed a brief in federal court declaring him a torture victim of the CIA's enhanced interrogation program. "Khan admitted anything his interrogators demanded of him," his lawyers wrote, "regardless of the truth, in order to end his suffering."
According to transcripts, Khan told a military board in April 2007 that he emerged from CIA custody so despairing of his isolation that he tried to kill himself by chewing through an artery in his arm.
Only six of the 779 captives who've been held at Guantánamo have gone before the war court. And three of them pleaded guilty after Hicks to get a shot at speedy release. Canadian Omar Khadr, 25, should have left in October, a year after he admitted to hurling a grenade that killed a U.S. solider in a July 2002 raid on a suspected al Qaida compound in Afghanistan. Khadr was 15 in 2002 and was all along spared the possibility of a capital charge because of his age. But Canadian and U.S. officials have yet to orchestrate his return, for one to seven more years in Canadian detention.
Two Sudanese men who served as al Qaida recruits have deals to finish their sentences in Obama's second term, should he receive one.
But the case of Khan is following a far different script that sources say is taking a page from the federal court system: His sentencing hearing will come much later — after four years of testimony in other war court trials — at which time his lawyers can argue for leniency and invoke his treatment in CIA custody, which they have argued in federal court filings was torture.
Much of the Khan case is being played out in secret. The timeline of the deal itself was posted under seal last week at the Pentagon's war court website. Military sources say Khan has been moved to a new, maximum security lockup that was set up out of public view. Where is it? That's a secret. How much did it cost? No comment. When was it built? Ditto.
Details of the plea agreement leaked first to The Washington Post last week. The Miami Herald got the details from U.S. officials only willing to speak on background, with no name or title attached.
A Pentagon spokesman, Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, would say only that Khan is secure, and unlike during the three years he spent with the CIA, his attorneys and Red Cross delegates will be allowed to see him. "We treat all detainees with the same level of dignity and respect that is due any human being."
Khan is pleading guilty after nearly a decade in detention — interrogation without charge, isolation, and, according to his 2007 federal lawsuit, subjected to "a sophisticated, refined program of torture operating with impunity outside the boundaries of any domestic or international law" at the CIA's secret overseas lockups, called dark sites.
His lawyers will be allowed to bring this up at sentencing, according to sources familiar with the Khan deal, in a plea for leniency. But first, says retired Navy Lt. Cmdr. Charlie Swift, a veteran of the war court, expect defense lawyers to try to use Khan's CIA treatment whenever he's brought as a government witness, to challenge the credibility of his testimony.
"The way you avoid the door to the dark sites is you don't use the material," said Swift, who challenged George W. Bush's military commissions at the U.S. Supreme Court, and won. "But in the end they can't avoid it. They wouldn't know he was a potential witness unless they tortured him."
Khan wasn't waterboarded or subjected to "any of the other really bad techniques," said Davis, the prosecutor who quit in October 2007 to protest senior Pentagon interference in what should be independent prosecutorial decision making.
But he said, "It's hard to put a good spin on somebody spending more than a decade in confinement waiting for their day in court. I don't know how you clean that up."

$1.8 million effort will work to eliminate hunger and promote healthy food choices.
Source: DMI news release
Feeding America joins with National Dairy Council and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to identify game-changing innovations in the field of nutrition and food security.
With a commitment of $1.8M over two years, National Dairy Council will take a leadership role in bringing together this unique effort between three organizations to help to eliminate hunger and promote healthy food choices.
"The work of National Dairy Council has focused on nutrition research, education and communication for nearly a century to encourage healthy eating patterns and lifestyles," said Jean Ragalie, RD and President of National Dairy Council, which was founded by America's dairy farmers.
"Because there is often a gap between the quantity of food that can be secured and the nutritional quality of that food, many of our nation's hungry are also overweight," Ragalie added. "We know that finding a solution to this problem will take everyone working together. I am excited about this collaboration, which we hope will raise awareness of the issue, educate thought leaders and the public to integrate sound nutrition principles in feeding programs and increase access to healthy foods."
Recently, much national attention has been focused on the intersection of hunger and obesity in the U.S. Many families are forced to make difficult choices between securing enough food and prioritizing healthier foods that nourish and promote good health.
These three organizations are uniquely qualified to join together to tackle this issue by aligning assets:
• National Dairy Council, supported today by more than 51,000 dairy farmers, has 100 years of experience in nutrition research and education, bringing a diverse group of stakeholders, including health and wellness experts, farmers and food companies to the table.
• The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics represents over 83,000 registered dietitians and is the largest organization of food and nutrition professionals in the world.
• Feeding America is the nation's largest domestic hunger relief organization that works on the front line providing access to meals for 37M food insecure individuals each year.
This partnership encompasses the entire food cycle from production to distribution. All three organizations have established inroads into local communities (farmers, schools, registered dietitians, food banks) and will join forces to share expertise and resources, identify new ways of approaching food procurement, nutrition education and access, and will work to impact the way food insecure individuals nourish themselves and their families.
"This partnership with National Dairy Council, Feeding America, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics signals a bold, industry-wide effort to address the intersection of nutrition and food insecurity," said Vicki Escarra, CEO of Feeding America. "Our combined resources, research, and expertise will make changes at a local level that ultimately will affect the health of our nation."
The investment by National Dairy Council in national nutrition and food security efforts will underwrite a broad, industry-wide plan of action to:
• Raise awareness of the overweight/undernourished paradox
• Increase access to nutrient rich foods for food insecure people
• Educate all stakeholders about strategies to reduce hunger and promote healthy food choices
"The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and our members in all areas of food and nutrition practice look forward to working with Feeding America and National Dairy Council to develop workable strategies throughout the country that will end hunger and achieve food security," said Ethan A. Bergman, RD and Academy President. "We are proud to support programs and practices that combat hunger and malnutrition, produce food security, promote self-sufficiency, educate consumers and health professionals alike, and are environmentally and economically sustainable. As the food and nutrition experts, registered dietitians who are members of the Academy are ready to continue and increase our involvement in developing innovative solutions to the twin problems of food insecurity and hunger."

NBN Co was not fit for purpose: Scales report
Cost blowouts and delays in the rollout of the national broadband network show that infrastructure projects - including a second Sydney airport - should be subject to a public cost-benefit analysis, the country's peak infrastructure body says.
In a review of the policy process that led to the creation of the network, former Productivity Commission chairman Bill Scales said all public infrastructure projects worth over $1 billion should be subject to a cost-benefit analysis, with the results made public before the project starts.
All infrastructure projects promised at an election should also be costed by the Productivity Commission or Infrastructure Australia, Mr Scales recommended.
The findings were backed by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who said they would lead to ''a higher standard of professionalism and diligence'' in policy making. The government has a policy that spending projects over $100 million should have a cost-benefit analysis, but these are not necessarily made public.
''The more you can get transparency and rigour into major projects the better off you will be,'' Infrastructure Partnerships Australia chief executive Brendan Lyon said. ''[The NBN] has not been a success. The project has been running behind time and above cost.
''We need to look at how large projects such as this could be better managed.''
Mr Lyon said it would be appropriate to put the Badgerys Creek project through a cost-benefit analysis before starting it.
''A cost-benefit analysis is not the be all and end all but it is a very powerful tool in terms of assessing projects - something like an airport lends itself to a cost-benefit assessment.''
A spokesman for Infrastructure Minister Warren Truss said: ''All infrastructure projects costing over $1 billion dollars will have a positive cost-benefit analysis if they are to proceed with government funding.
''Detailed planning for Western Sydney airport is now under way - this will include the development of a detailed business case and cost-benefit analysis.''
The government is considering the findings of a Productivity Commission report on infrastructure delivery tabled last month.
In his report Mr Scales found the Rudd government used a ''rushed, chaotic and inadequate'' public policy process to develop the NBN.
The decision to establish a new company, NBN Co, to roll out the broadband network to 98 per cent of homes was made after just 11 weeks of consideration.
''NBN Co was not fit for purpose,'' the report says.
''It was a start-up company given a job that only a well-functioning, large and established telecommunications company would have been able to undertake in the allotted time frame.''
Former communications minister Stephen Conroy, who oversaw the development of the NBN, accused Mr Turnbull of hypocrisy.
Mr Turnbull launched a $10 billion water reform plan when he was environment minister in the Howard government without releasing a cost-benefit analysis, he said.
Treasurer Joe Hockey did not respond to questions on Mr Scale's recommendations.

The New England Patriots have another player on suspension.
The league announced on Friday that running back Brandon Bolden was suspended without pay for four games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances. He will be eligible to return to the team's active roster on Monday, Dec. 3.
Bolden exploded for 134 yards against the Bills in Week 4, but hasn't been on the field since Week 6 because of a knee injury. This is not a suspension that should hurt New England much. They have a very deep backfield with Stevan Ridley, Danny Woodhead and Shane Vereen all in the mix. Bolden made the team as an undrafted rookie with a hard-charging running style.
The Patriots recently acquired cornerback Aqib Talib from the Buccanneers. Talib has one more game to serve on his four-game suspension.

A PRIMARY school which opened 18 months ago despite fierce opposition from local residents has been rated outstanding in its first Ofsted report.
The top grade is rarely awarded to new schools which do not have years of evidence to support their structures and policies.
But, following an inspection earlier this month, Croft Primary School's inspectors praised the school across all four areas, the achievement of pupils, the quality of teaching, the behaviour and safety of pupils and the leadership and management of the school.
Inspectors said: "Through highly effective leadership and planning, this new school has got off to an exceptional start.
"The children in Reception make rapid gains in the areas of learning because of high quality teaching and support.
"Children at an early stage of learning English make exceptional progress in acquiring and using English.
"Pupils make outstanding progress in Year 1 and by the end of the year, attainment is high in reading, writing and mathematics."
The report also said that attendance levels were higher than average, that children were extremely well behaved and that parents were very supportive of the school.
The report said: "Teachers establish very positive relationships with their pupils and expect them to do their best.
"The pupils respond very well to these high expectations and learn exceptionally well.
"Teachers and teaching assistants give good quality feedback to pupils so they know how well they are doing and what they need to do to improve.
"The marking of pupils' work is detailed and helpful."
The report offered only one improvement to the school which was to strengthen the role of new subject leaders so they are fully involved in observing learning and planning for future teaching developments."
Nick Capstick, the executive headteacher at Croft and the CEO of the White Horse Federation, of which Croft Primary is a part, said it was an ideal Ofsted report.
He said: "I think there are three main reasons why The Croft had achieved this grading, which is almost unheard of for such a young school.
"The most important is the work of the fantastic team we have who work extremely hard.
"Secondly it is down to the White Horse Federation who has two schools with teaching school status, and The Croft were able to benefit from their support.
"Thirdly it is down to the White Horse Federation who wants to see The Croft do well, and offers support.
"Likewise Croft want to see other schools in the federation do well as well so it's a great forum to feed back and develop."
Croft headteacher Candida Hutchinson was also delighted.
She said: "The report recognises the determination and drive of our staff to enable all children to achieve success.
"It highlights how supportive our families are. It celebrates how we work well together within the White Horse Federation and governance.
"Most importantly, it clearly states how engaged our children are in their learning."
The report will be available to the public from Friday at www.ofsted.gov.uk

Breaking News: Head-Swelling Bakery Incident Goes Horribly Awry
You know how local morning shows always have chefs or bakers on to do little demonstrations and whatnot? And how those visiting guests always bring a little treat for the hosts and crew? Well, here's what one such visiting bakery brought to the station where Wreckporter Hayley E. works:
It's like a mixed media collage of cakedom! Seriously, this cake has it all: fun-house-mirror photos, airbrushing, fondant "hair" (don't miss the guy's!), a buttercream border, and sufficient excuse to call the show hosts "fat heads" for at least a week or so. (Oh, did I mention those are the hosts?)
Of course, it could also be used as the poster-cake for the call to ban edible image printing. Really, who thought technology that allows you to eat people's photos was a good idea? It always ends up looking rather creepy.
Or, in this case, gross:
Mmmm, now there's an appetizing composition. I bet all of Karissa's relatives were SO proud. And full. As in, "no-really-I-couldn't-eat-another-bite" full.

Maybe We Should Stick to Baby Blocks And Umbrellas...
I can understand wanting to get more creative with your baby shower designs, bakers, but please, NOT LIKE THIS:
"The rare squiggle-spitting dingle-dangler immobilizes its prey with a unique 'spit net' that some cultures find quite tasty."
At first you think this is just another crocheted baby with exposed brains:
But turn the cake around, and...
...now I'm just really confused.
Did anyone ever show you the trick of making a tiny footprint stamp with the side of your hand? And then you use your fingers to stamp the toes?
Well, then, did anyone ever tell you to keep your grubby hands off of other people's food?
Look closely.
In case you need MORE proof that bakers troll this site for "fun new" decorating ideas:
But you'll note there are STILL no air holes.
If that doesn't seem morbid enough for you, though, then how about a one-year-old's head on a tree stump?
I was about to say that at least this isn't a baby shower cake, but then I realized how much worse it is as a one-year-old's birthday cake:
"Look, kiddo! That's YOUR head! Do you like it? Look, I'm slicing off 'your' nose now, haha! Now, how big of a piece of your face do you want to eat? And why are you crying?"
And finally, I keep thinking bakers have reached the pinnacle of creepiness with their torso cakes: from protruding feet to perky nips to Wraith-hand-manicures, but I must say this is a new twist:
"I call it, 'Womb With a View.'"
Thanks to Anony M., Monique K., Cori M., Lyndsay S., Madina S., & Alexandra M. for the labors of... love? Ok, sure. Love.
Update from john- So it turns out the baby head on a stump cake is actually from the sweet, innocent, Slavik fairytale Kolobok. In said fairytale, a yellow, spherical being (creepy baby head) becomes animated and escapes from its grandparents. (I'm still trying to figure out how a newly-animated spherical being even has grandparents.) In the end, like so many other sweet, innocent fairytales, the creepy baby head is eaten by a fox. So, ya know, not creepy at all. Sleep tight, kids!

The recurrent myth that the label "Pākehā" is derogatory is challenged by the latest findings from the large scale New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study. The study found generally positive feelings between Māori and New Zealanders of European descent, say researchers Dr Chris Sibley, Dr Carla Houkamau and Dr William Hoverd.
"We found no evidence whatsoever for the suggestion that the term 'Pākehā' is in any way pejorative or might reflect a negative attitude toward New Zealanders of European descent," says Dr Sibley from The University of Auckland's School of Psychology. Dr Sibley leads the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (NZAVS).
"Our findings indicate that the choice by Māori to use the term Pākehā is linked to how strongly they identify as Māori. The choice to use Te Reo is part of identity – rather than anything to do with Maori attitudes toward New Zealanders of European descent," says Dr Carla Houkamau of The University of Auckland Business School.
"Our data show that Māori who prefer the term Pākehā to other descriptions, such as 'New Zealand European', 'Kiwi', or 'New Zealander', tend to view their own ethnicity as a more central to their self-concept," says Dr Sibley. "Māori also express very positive, warm attitudes toward New Zealanders of European descent generally, regardless of the label that they use to describe them."
"We think this is a really positive finding for New Zealand," adds Dr William Hoverd, a Research Associate in the School of Classics, Art History and Religious Studies at Victoria University of Wellington.
"The New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study provided the first opportunity to actually test this idea out in a nationally representative sample" says Dr Carla Houkamau. The study surveys the attitudes and beliefs of thousands of New Zealanders, and provided data on a wide range of questions from race relations to religious beliefs and personality types.
New Zealanders of European descent also had generally warm attitudes towards Māori, but those who preferred to self-label as Pākehā expressed more positive views of Māori than those who chose other terms, such as "New Zealander" or "New Zealand European"
"Our findings suggest that Europeans who prefer to use the term Pākehā to describe themselves, are likely expressing a desire to recognise a positive relationship with Māori", says Dr Sibley. Europeans who prefer to use the term Pākehā were generally supportive of symbolic aspects of biculturalism the study showed.
The New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study, launched by Dr Sibley in 2009, surveys thousands of New Zealanders every year on a wide range of topics. The latest findings are derived from an analysis of two of the questions in the 2009 survey, about the terms people prefer to describe New Zealanders of European descent and their ratings of warmth toward themselves and members of other ethnic groups.
Use of the term Pākehā was relatively low overall (14%) and the most popular term was New Zealander (50%). Amongst Māori levels of support for the four main terms were: New Zealander 37%, Pākehā 31%, Kiwi 24%, and New Zealand European 19%. Amongst New Zealanders of European descent they were 53%, 12%, 17%, and 25% respectively. The findings were published in the journal Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy.
A total of 6,518 people took part in the survey and their ethnicities were broadly representative of the New Zealand population, with 1,163 Māori participants and 4,618 New Zealanders of European descent.

Tomorrow, with the help of our pal Rob Trucks, we're launching a series in which we talk to retired athletes about the moment they knew their playing days were over. We'll start with a batch of conversations with former March Madness heroes, from the '57 North Carolina Tar Heels to the '98 Kentucky Wildcats.
To celebrate we've commissioned our own theme music and video from the multi-talented multi-tasker Steve Wynn, former frontman of the Dream Syndicate, father of the Paisley Underground, approximately 25 percent of the Baseball Project, and the man whose name lives at the top of the marquee when Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3 come to town. Consider this our entrance music.
If you have any suggestions for interview subjects—remember, baseball season is right around the corner—email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Excerpted from Question and Answer Session with Thich Nhat Hanh Deer Park Monastery September 10, 2011
Question: Dear Thay and dear community, as a survivor of rape, how do I forgive my attackers?
Thich Nhat Hanh: The criminals, those who have made us suffer, also are victims. They were born and raised in an environment that was not loving enough to nurture them. And they had difficulties, but no one, including their parents, could help them. So they are victims of their environment. If we had been born and raised in that same environment, we may have become like them. That's why, when we look deeply, understanding comes and compassion arises in our hearts. We can forgive.
Many people in Vietnam escaped the Communist regime by boat, and many of them died during the trip crossing the sea to Thailand or to the Philippines. Many of their deaths were caused by sea pirates.
The sea pirates were often born into families of poor fishermen in the coastal areas of Thailand or the Philippines. They heard that when the boat people fled their country, they may have had their family valuables, like gold or jewelry, with them. So if the sea pirates could rob them of their valuables, they could escape the poor, desperate situation they and their families had been stuck in for so long.
Your grandfather was a poor fisherman. Your father also was a poor fisherman. And you are a poor fisherman, and you have no opportunity to get out of this situation. Your father and your grandfather couldn't get good educations, so they had no opportunity to get jobs that would enable them to live easier lives. So if your mother did not know how to read and write, and your father was drunk every day, then it is very difficult for you to get an education and get out of this terrible cycle. It's difficult for you to learn to have a loving heart. So when people tell you that if you go out one time and rob the refugees of their gold and their money, this will get you out of your desperate situation, you are tempted. In this way, the poor young fisherman becomes a sea pirate because of his ignorance, because of his background, because of his desperation.
I was in France when I heard stories about boat people. Many of us tried to go to refugee camps in Thailand and the Philippines to help. They encountered a lot of suffering.
Suppose you are on the refugee boat. Of course, you can protect yourself. You can shoot the sea pirate. Otherwise, the sea pirate will throw you into the ocean, rape your daughter, and take your valuables. Every time you hear that a boat person has been raped and killed by a sea pirate, you suffer, and you believe that if you had a gun and you were on a boat, you would be able to shoot that person. But if you shoot the sea pirate, he will die and you will not be able to help him. He's a victim of his environment, and he did not have any education, any opportunity for a better life. So the sea pirate is also a victim.
If we meditate, we know that today there will be babies born on the coastline into these poor families. If educators, politicians, and others do not do anything to help these babies get better food and education, when they grow up they will become sea pirates. We can see that if we are born and raised in that way, we too may become sea pirates. That kind of meditation allows us to understand, to see that these criminals are also victims of their environment, and that allows the nectar of compassion to be born in our hearts, and we can forgive. Not only do we not want to kill them or punish them, but we are motivated by the desire to do something to help them. We can see that those who rape us are also victims. With that kind of understanding, we know that there are things we can do to help rapists and to prevent people from becoming rapists.
That is something parents, teachers, educators, and politicians have to meditate upon. We have to take the kind of action that will help change the situation and prevent these babies from becoming sea pirates and rapists.
Forgiveness is possible with understanding. You cannot forgive if you only have the desire, the intention to forgive. In order to truly forgive, you have to see the truth, to understand that that person is a victim. When you see that, compassion arises, and naturally you can forgive, and you feel lighter. And you don't want to punish him anymore. You want him and his children to have a better environment in order not to continue like that, generation after generation.
So many of us in society are victims of violence, anger, fear, and discrimination. The only answer is compassion. Compassion arises from understanding. Understanding is the fruit of meditation, namely, the practice of looking deeply in order to understand why things become the way they are. When you respond with compassion, you suffer less, and you are able to help.

With an face that seems ripped right out of Star Trek's LCARS, you'd think the Gridlock is yet another Tokyoflash watch that's nigh-impossible to read, but you'd be wrong. It's actually quite simple once you figure out the hook.
The face is divided into two sections: the circle-like part and the box-filled matrix. The circle is the hour, and is displayed just like an analog watch. The matrix is split vertically, with the two halves showing minutes. See? Simple:
While not a real watch at the moment, Tokyoflash has a habit of making their conceptual wares into the real deal. So, if you like this one, you may be able to own it someday. [Tokyoflash via DVICE]

What is the right way of upgrading CafeSuite?
Here's a detailed description of the upgrade procedure. Please follow these steps to avoid upgrade problems:
- Download the latest installation package from our website and save it anywhere on your main PC.
- Make a backup of CafeSuite folder (usually c:\Program Files\CafeSuite), so that you can go back easily in case there is any problem with an upgrade (the setup program can also make a backup for you if you select appropriate checkboxes during installation).
- Execute downloaded installation package on the main PC, follow the installation wizard and install the program to the same directory to keep the current settings and data. Please note that currently CafeSuite by default installs to two separate directories (one for executable files and separate for application data).
- Launch CafeStation at the end of installation and log in as operator with full privileges. In the clean installation there is only one operator 'boss' with empty password. You can also execute the program from a CafeSuite group in the Start Menu.
- If you're using instant recovery hardware or software on client PCs, please switch them into installation mode (thaw PC) before upgrading (alternatively you can also save new disk state after upgrading successfully). With CafeSuite Recovery Module use menu Workstation/Instant recovery and press Install mode button - then PCs will get restarted in installation mode.
- Use menu Program/Client setup in CafeStation to open client configuration and make sure all the settings are correct (see here). You don't need to change anything if the previous configuration was functioning fine. Save client software configuration by pressing the OK button. You should at least check the server address settings on the Main page in client software configuration.
- Use menu List/Select all to select all client workstations and then menu Workstation/Update client program to update connected clients with a new version of CafeAgent. The program will get installed remotely and you will see workstations reconnecting in CafeStation. It is recommended to upgrade workstations when they are free not to interrupt customers.
- If there is any problem with remote upgrade, you will need to upgrade client PCs manually - by closing CafeAgent and then executing CafeAgentSetup.exe from shared Client folder on each client PC (e.g. \\YourServerPC\\Client\CafeAgentSetup.exe). You can find Client subfolder on the server by clicking on Client folder shortcut in CafeSuite group in Start menu.
- Normally restarting client PCs is not required, but in some cases it might be necessary to make CafeAgent fully functional again.
- If you're using instant recovery hardware or software on client PCs, remember to switch PCs back to normal auto-recovery mode (freeze them). With CafeSuite Recovery Module use menu Workstation/Instant recovery and press Normal mode button or Save data if you haven't switched into installation mode earlier. The upgrade is successful when all PCs connect fine to the server and both CafeStation and CafeAgent show the same version (menu Help/About in CafeStation or About in CafeAgent context menu).
Don't forget to update client software on the workstations. It should always be in the same version as CafeStation. Using different versions of client and server software might lead to unexpected problems.
