Topic: Magma Release EPOK 5 On DVD
Posted: May 06 2013 at 13:25
For Immediate Release
French Music Legends Magma Release EPOK 5 On DVD
Paris, France - After the success of the DVDs EPOK 1-2-3-4, published in 2006 and 2007, the jazz club Le Triton again welcomed Magma in June 2011. This was for a nine concerts cycle to complete the DVD series "Myths & Legends " .
EPOK 5 not only includes pieces from 1971, 1977 and 1978 but also Félicité Thösz , the latest MAGMA release, heard here in a version prior to the recording of the album. There are, in addition, 20 minutes of unpublished music. A dynamic and extremely musical edit enables the listener to enjoy the band at the height of its powers, showcasing the intensity of each composition and the technical prowess of the musicians. The exceptional sound quality was captured as usual by Francis Linon who knows, better than anyone, how to record the power and musicality of MAGMA.
Magma was founded in Paris in 1969 by drummer Christian Vander, who derived his inspiration from a "vision of humanity's spiritual and ecological future" that profoundly disturbed him. Vander was a self-taught musician, who received some tips from drum legend Elvin Jones. In the course of Magma's first album, the band tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the planet Kobaïa. Later, conflict arises when the Kobaïans, who are descendants of the original colonists, encounter other Earth refugees. A distinguished aspect of Magma's music is that Vander actually invented a constucted language, Kobaïan, in which most lyrics are sung. Later albums told different stories set in more ancient times; however the Kobaïan language remained an integral part of the music. Reportedly, Christian Vander is also highly influenced by the work of jazz legend John Coltrane. "For my work, it is still Coltrane who actually gives me the real material to work on, to be able to move on," says Vander.

Climbing aboard a camel to see the sun rise over Ayers Rock was spectacular.

But the biggest thrill for many of the U.S. incentive buyers who participated in Dreamtime 2009, which brought 80 incentive buyers to Australia in mid-October for a business forum, was playing football with a bunch of kids in the Outback.

According to Realtor.com San Diego County is among the top 10 metro cities to rebound from the housing bust. Based on online searches, sales, price stability and a number of other criteria, Realtor.com released a report. The report names cities such as Dallas, Fort Myers, and San Diego which are recovering faster than other cities.
Realtor.com claims San Diego has been steadily rising for more than a year. They noted that the average age of inventory for San Diego Listings is about half the national average. In addition San Diego was the 15th most searched market in the nation in February and March.
Now is a great time to buy if you are looking for a home to live in. Eventually interest rates will rise and buying a home will become much more difficult.

Is E-Learning competitive enough if compared to Class Room learning?
With so many modules promoting E Learning / E Studies hitting India and the world, the question is whether this platform will be as beneficial as the old class room method.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 19 2012: sounds interesting question..i have seen two point of view about this..as we know technology changing a lot and influenced our life as well. i have two side of this point..
Firstly if you see from e-learning or e-studies probably we will know technology dominated on it. We didnt use traditional method for learning but digital for example student did must attending class because they can learning lesson at home or everywhere. so we will say e-learning become good method for learning because reduce our time,cost etc.
Second if we say about old classroom method we will see teacher teaching students in the class, on this point we will see students can make their argument clearly because we meet each other but its not reduce time and some people say its not efficient for some people.
I have conclusion about two point above whether e-learning or old classrooom its depend which one you need or choose. If you have busy time probably you may choose e-learning its beneficial but if you havent much busy time probably you will choose old classroom.

Nose: A very appealing combination of apple blossom, honey and wood glue, develops polished oak, hints of pine sap and vanilla. Fantastic.
Palate: Medium-weight, but pretty intense flavours. The sweet vanilla'd oak is the prominent characteristic here, with the apple pie, glue and honeysuckle in the background.
Finish: Sweet with a hint of oakspice. Probably the gentlest Karuizawa finish I've had.
Comment: Fascinating to taste a spirit so associated with full strength sherry casks at a more normal strength from a bourbon cask.

This year I had the privilege of attending and speaking at the Strangeloop conference in St Louis. The venues, the Union Street Marriot (a National Historic Landmark), and the Peabody Opera House were spectacular.
The range of sessions and speakers was literally mind boggling. Some of my favourites:
The breakfast hallway conversations were friendly and insightful, thanks to everyone for all the great feedback on my talk.
F# for Trading
Many people in the community use F# for Trading, and not just developers, traders too. Community matters in a language. The talk looked at some of the reasons people choose to use F# in Trading and some of the projects they have built to support their efforts, like Type Providers for Excel and the R statistical programming language.
The talk was recorded so expect a video to appear on InfoQ at some point in the future.

As a C++11 programmer you've probably played with type inference and lambda functions and may now feel curious about trying a functional first programming language like F#. F# is a first class .Net programming language that ships with Visual Studio. Although C# shares the familiar moustache based syntax of C++, you may like me actually find F# more familiar in terms of power features like immutability, function inlining and even sprintf .
Comparing some of the good parts of C++11 with C# and F#:
* Note: Anders Hejlsberg is reported to be currently working on JavaScript tooling
Resource management
In .Net, garbage collection replaces C++'s delete method for reclaiming memory. For resources like files or database connections that implement IDisposable, .Net can feel a bit more clumsy requiring explicit disposal, over using C++ with RAII.
In C# to determine if a class implements IDisposable you must look at the implementation, and then explicitly dispose the object with either a using block or calling the Dispose method.
using (Font font1 = new Font("Arial", 10.0f))
byte charset = font1.GdiCharSet;
In F# you can tell if a class implements IDisposable by hovering over it in Visual Studio. Also types implementing IDisposable must be created using the new keyword, which gives an explicit code indication. Finally F# has a use keyword which can be used in place of the let keyword for IDisposable types and automatically calls Dispose when the object is out of scope.
use font1 = new Font("Arial", 10.0f)
let charset = font1.GdiCharSet
Like C++, F# provides a printf and sprintf function. What may be a little more surprising is that in F# they are type safe:
F# will generate a compile time error if the number or type of parameters don't match.
Although not required F# supports signatures which are akin to C++ header files and useful for libraries (for example F#'s built-in libraries uses them), particularly for separating code documentation examples from the actual implementation code.
If you're interested in augmenting your high performance C++ code with some high level functional code, look beyond the syntax and you may find F# more familiar and feature rich.
Boilerplate is any seemingly repetitive code that shows up again and again, like getting and setting instance variables, but seems like it ought to be much simpler.
Jon Harrop recently commented on an MSDN article on Functional Programming in C++:
(from Figure 8) 60 lines of "functional" C++ in 1 line of F#: type Immutable = {d: float; s: string} http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/…
(from Figure 8) 60 lines of "functional" C++ in 1 line of F#: type Immutable = {d: float; s: string} http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/…
60 lines is a lot of boilerplate! Here Jon defines a 1 line record type to express a simple immutable type.
Java and C# reduced the repetition of header files in C++. However C# code is still full of boilerplate, to the point where third party Visual Studio plugins like Resharper have become the de-facto standard for C# developers as a band-aid over the repetitive strain.
F# on the other hand is quite terse, which not only reduces the chances of RSI. it can also make the code easier to read and maintain.
Here's 3 short examples of how F# avoids some of the boilerplate pitfalls of C#.
1. Constructors
It is common to inject dependencies into a class via the constructor. In C# these dependencies are then typically captured as fields for use by member methods:
public class VerySimpleStockTraderImpl : IAutomatedStockTrader
private readonly IStockAnalysisService analysisService;
private readonly IOnlineBrokerageService brokerageService;
public VerySimpleStockTraderImpl(
IStockAnalysisService analysisService,
IOnlineBrokerageService brokerageService)
this.analysisService = analysisService;
this.brokerageService = brokerageService;
public void ExecuteTrades()
// ...
Notice how both the analysisService and brokerageService names are referenced 3 times. I call this the local government pattern™ as everything needs to be filled out in triplicate.
F# classes specify the primary constructor as a closure over the class members so the arguments are captured in one hit:
type VerySimpleStockTraderImpl
brokerageService:IOnlineBrokerageService) =
member this.ExecuteTrades() = () // ...
2. Properties
Other parameters to constructors may specify initial values for properties. C# 3 introduced auto-implemented properties to help reduce the boilerplate, but it is still quite verbose:
public class OrderLine
public OrderLine(decimal price, int quantity)
this.Price = price;
this.Quantity = quantity;
public decimal Price { get; private set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
F# lets you specify the initial value for a property at the property definition:
type OrderLine(price:decimal, quantity:int) =
member val Price = price
member val Quantity = quantity with get, set
The sample above uses the new F# 3 auto-property syntax.
3. Out parameters
In C# if you want to return more than one value from a function you must resort to out parameters:
string value = "";
if (openWith.TryGetValue("tif", out value))
Console.WriteLine("For key = \"tif\", value = {0}.", value);
Console.WriteLine("Key = \"tif\" is not found.");
F# lets you return any number of values. C# methods using out parameters can be called from F# as if they returned multiple parameters:
match openWith.TryGetValue("tif") with
| true, value -> printfn "For key = \"tif\", value = %A." value
| false, _ -> printfn "Key = \"tif\" is not found."
F# class and property syntax dramatically reduce the boilerplate over C# class definitions. Returning multiple values is easy in F# and there's even support for methods using C#'s out parameters. Here I've presented just 3 examples that help scrap the boilerplate, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Interested? Try F#

In July 1969, ninety-four percent of American televisions were tuned to coverage of Apollo 11's mission to the moon. How did space exploration, once the purview of rocket scientists, reach a larger audience than My Three Sons? Why did a government program whose standard operating procedure had been secrecy turn its greatest achievement into a communal experience? In Marketing the Moon, David Meerman Scott and Richard Jurek tell the story of one of the most successful marketing and public relations campaigns in history: the selling of the Apollo program.
Production in the Innovation Economy emerges from several years of interdisciplinary research at MIT on the links between manufacturing and innovation in the United States and the world economy.
Despite their common roots, international economics (IE) and international business (IB) have developed into two distinct fields of study. Economists have directed their efforts at formalizing the workings of international trade and investment at the macroeconomic level; business scholars have relied more on data-driven conceptual narratives than mathematical tools. But the recent focus of IE literature on firm heterogeneity suggests that IE would benefit from IB analyses of the behavior and organization of the internationalizing firm.
How can American manufacturing recapture its former dominance in the globalized industrial economy? In Worker Leadership, Fred Stahl proposes a strategy to boost enterprise productivity and restore America's industrial power. Stahl outlines a revolutionary transformation of industrial culture that offers workers real control of production operations and manufacturing processes (as well as a monetary share of the savings from productivity gains). Stahl develops this new Theory of Worker Productivity into a strategy of Worker Leadership, with concrete, real-world examples.
When have you gone into an electronics store, picked up a desirable gadget, and found that it was labeled "Made in Russia"? Probably never. Russia, despite its epic intellectual achievements in music, literature, art, and pure science, is a negligible presence in world technology. Despite its current leaders' ambitions to create a knowledge economy, Russia is economically dependent on gas and oil. In Lonely Ideas, Loren Graham investigates Russia's long history of technological invention followed by failure to commercialize and implement.
America is the world leader in innovation, but many of the innovative ideas that are hatched in American start-ups, labs, and companies end up going abroad to reach commercial scale. Apple, the superstar of innovation, locates its production in China (yet still reaps most of its profits in the United States). When innovation does not find the capital, skills, and expertise it needs to come to market in the United States, what does it mean for economic growth and job creation?
Ever since the term "crowdsourcing" was coined in 2006 by Wired writer Jeff Howe, group activities ranging from the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary to the choosing of new colors for M&Ms have been labeled with this most buzz-generating of media buzzwords. In this accessible but authoritative account, grounded in the empirical literature, Daren Brabham explains what crowdsourcing is, what it is not, and how it works.
McDonald's promises to use only beef, coffee, fish, chicken, and cooking oil obtained from sustainable sources. Coca-Cola promises to achieve water neutrality. Unilever has set a deadline of 2020 to reach 100 percent sustainable agricultural sourcing. Walmart has pledged to become carbon neutral. Today, big-brand companies seem to be making commitments that go beyond the usual "greenwashing" efforts undertaken largely for public relations purposes.
Investors and analysts often need to look into a firm's operations more deeply than traditional financial statements and models allow. This book describes newly developed tools for using operations metrics to discern and influence the valuation of a firm. It is the first to present these techniques from a unified perspective: that of operations forensics, which looks at operations management not from the traditional point of view of a manager but from that of an investor or shareholder.

Former California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson, Boulder Creek contractor and community activist Eric Hammer and Lompico resident and civil engineer Bill Smallman are actively seeking support in the race.
As the McPherson and Hammer campaigns gathered momentum over the past several weeks, Susan Weber, John Abel and George Wylie all withdrew, leaving only Smallman to keep it a three-person race.
Smallman said he would continue his bid, despite facing what he admitted was an uphill battle against Hammer and McPherson — and against the endorsements and name recognition both men enjoy.
"It's kind of discouraging," Smallman said. "I want to get elected because of my qualifications and my message, rather than name recognition."
Smallman, who is running on a campaign platform that promotes a balance of environmentalism and economic growth, said it had been a challenge to find ways to get his message out to voters.
"This is the first time I've ever run for something this big," he said. "I don't have a lot of people working for me."
Smallman, a Lompico Water District board member, recently posted a YouTube video in which he elaborated some of the specific goals he hoped to accomplish if elected.
He said he also planned to canvass neighborhoods, put up campaign signs and host meet-and-greet gatherings in Felton, Ben Lomond and Scotts Valley.
"I'm trying to convey exactly what I would do if I got elected," Smallman said.
To start, he said he would work to develop established businesses in the county, as well as encourage entrepreneurs and start-ups.
As supervisor, he hopes to inaugurate what he calls a Board of Economic Development, a county-run entity that would serve as something of a countywide chamber of commerce to encourage and entice business and promote networking and education.
His board, he said, would be similar to a system in use in Sonoma County, with one or two representatives from each of the five districts. It would replace the existing Workforce Investment Board, costing the county nothing extra, he said.
"I started out getting into politics as an environmentalist," Smallman said. "We need to make sure there's still some economic opportunity -— it's a fine line to walk."
Smallman said that his 20 years working as a civil engineer, coupled with his tenure on the Lompico water board, made him a logical choice for the 5th District, particularly concerning roads and infrastructure.
He explained that he would prefer the county's public works department to focus on road maintenance — such as patching cracks to prevent erosion — before completing expensive projects, such as the ongoing widening of Graham Hill Road in Felton.
"The one big concern is the roads," he said. "We're digging ourselves a money pit if we don't."
Smallman said he would also work to streamline the building permit process, something he said would be beneficial to residents and businesses alike.
"I feel like I'm the best candidate for infrastructure," he said. "I think it would be helpful to have someone on the board with my kind of experience."

A suspicious package at the Batavia post office Thursday morning led to the post office being evacuated and the street being closed to traffic for about two hours, until it was determined that the package was harmless and there was no threat posed by it.
About 5:20 a.m., police were notified of the package at the Batavia post office, 500 N. Randall Rd. in the west suburb, according to Batavia Police Deputy Chief Dan Eul.
The package caused concern for some people at the post office so as a precautionary measure the post office was evacuated and the road closed.
The Kane County Bomb Squad was called to the scene and the package was determined to be "just a package," Eul said. There was no threat received and it was determined that there was no danger posed by it. No one was injured in the incident, ether.
As another precautionary measure, police asked that media helicopters stay clear of the immediate area because there was a concern that the static electricity created by the blades could have presented an issue with a device, as well as if there was a detonation the helicopters could have been in an affected area.
The road and post office were both reopened between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m., Eul said.

Confused... 36 weeks=9 months, why is due date 40 weeks?
Right now I am 31 weeks along. Next Thursday I will be 32 weeks along which is 8 months. 9 months is 36 weeks, so why did they make my due date in 40 weeks (10 months)? This might be a stupid question for some people but I realy am confused about it. We carry our babies for 9 months, not 10 so why would the due date be set at 10 months?

I always thought that it was a full 9 months of being pregnant. As the whole ninth month. Meaning the start of the 10th month is when baby is expected to arrive. 40 weeks sounds about right, even 41 weeks.posted 07/31/2014 by CattDogg
I said the same thingposted 01/26/2014 by tjones1989
The weeks are counted based on a 28 cycle which is 2-3 days less than the regular calendar month. These extras have to be accounted for. For example at 28 weeks you would be 6 1/2 months pregnant and not 7 months. This means that at 40 weeks you would be at 9 months and a week. I hope this helps.posted 01/18/2014 by Opewapo
If you start counting weeks around the time you ovulate then you have your baby at about 9 1/2 months (38 wks) or maybe 9 months 1 wk for some but it all depends on when you ovulate and when baby is conceived. Doctor says 40 weeks which is 10 months technically but you technically are not pregnant on the first day of your last period which is how they estimate how many weeks you are. So knock two or three weeks off that and due date is about right for 9 months.posted 12/31/2013 by natashajameson
36 weeks isn't 9 months, it's only 8.3 months! Any time in your pregnancy, if you know how many weeks you are and you want to know how many months you are, just Google "how many months is ____ weeks?" and it will do the conversion for you. Very handy.posted 08/17/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
7days = 1 week 4 weeks = 28 days Most months have 30-31 days(not including Feb.) Therefore there are more than 4 weeks In 1 month and when you add up all the extra days they generally make 4 weeks.posted 09/26/2010 by Every1sMommy
Normal pregnancy length is between 40 and 42 weeks. Hack off the two weeks added on because of the false belief that all women have 28-day cycles and ovulate on CD 14, and you have 38 - 40 weeks' gestation. (With the average length actually being slightly over 41 weeks.) Thirty-six weeks is NOT TERM. If you had your baby now, it would be what is called a "near term preemie", and there are health risks associated with that. To say that pregnancy is 9 months long is really just a rough estimate--note that you have an ESTIMATED due date.posted 09/25/2010 by SabraO
please keep in mind that some months have 5 weeks not just 4 ............. your first tri. is 13 weeks not 12posted 09/25/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Babies are typically born 38 weeks (91/2 months) after conception. Conception typically occurs two weeks after your LMP. The due date is figured using your LMP, so is set 40 weeks after your LMP (2 weeks between LMP and conception + 38 weeks for development). As to why we always hear about babies being born after 9 months, I'm not sure about that either. Maybe because that is the shortest length of time (36 weeks) that is considered normal gestation?posted 09/25/2010 by CMY/JNB

The Warriors lost a close one, 41-39, while the Lady Warriors fell to the Lady Tigers, 69-43.

At a Jimmy Choo luncheon in Hollywood, Zoe Saldana wore fresh, natural makeup, save for the bright, springy blush swept over the apples of her cheeks. We love how the bold hue still comes off as natural thanks to the minimal makeup on the rest of her face. When going for bright colors like Saldana, take a cue from the actress and apply eye makeup with a light hand. Top off the look with a nude or clear gloss to focus more attention on your cheeks. If you must wear more eye shadow, smooth on your blush first. That way, you'll be able to gauge how much shadow and liner to apply without looking clownish.

Considerations for Advanced Green Facade Design
|On Demand: Article/Print
|Offered by
|Hanley Wood, LLC
|Sustainable sites
Over the past two decades, green facade technology has evolved into a vaiable design component that can provide multiple benefits and aesthetic value to a wide variety of project types. This in depth discussion deals with the required considerations for successful green facade installation and projects. By understanding these important considerations and following an advanced template, designers can include sustainability benefits of green facades into the building and site. This paper draws on 18 years of collected knowledge, implementation, and experimentation to describe successful strategies that include system selection, design, plant selection, maintenance and client/owner education. Architects, engineers, landscape architects, contractors, building owners, and developers will find this discussion of green facades helpful if they are considering a green facade in a current or future project. No prerequiste knowledge is required.
1. Make a strong case for the inclusion of green facades as a standard building component on projects based upon relevant and topical issues surrounding policy initiatives, energy reduction goals and shading requirements.
2. Describe the differences between green facades and living walls, and the differences between 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional green facade systems.
3. List and discuss considerations that should be comprehensively addressed during design, installation and post-installation stages of a green facade system.
4. Specify a green facade system, describing plant material, soils, planting details and maintenance rogramming to fulfill the design intent.

A few years ago, the Wind Belt developed by Humdinger Wind Energy promised a compelling alternative to www.revistadeteatro.com fan style wind power generation. More importantly, the Wind Belt was ideally suited for smaller scale power generation, which would be ideal for low-cost power generation for remote locations.
Now, other designers are coming up with other approaches that offer similar kinds of smaller scale power generation that do not require open fields, large swept areas, and powerful winds - things that large, spinning blade turbines need - to create electricity. One such project is the Vibro-Wind generator, which has been developed by a team of paradigms.com.do students at Cornell University.
The test Vibro-Wind generator is enter site best price on levitra made with an array of foam blocks which catch the wind and tramadol 180 count cost act as oscillators. It produces electricity with piezoelectric transducers, small devices that emit electrons when stressed by the vibrations from the blocks.
Small and cheap may be a useful alternative for producing wind power, particularly in environments without consistently strong winds that are suited for large turbine installations. Beacuse the Vibro-Wind generator works with buffeting and vibration, it could be more appropriate for urban installations where swirling winds are more usual than the ideal winds needed for typical bladed turbines.

SAM, Southwest Atlantic MOC project
PIs: Christopher Meinen, Silvia Garzoli, Renellys Perez, and Shenfu Dong
Variations in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) have been linked to critical climate variables such as precipitation and surface air temperature across the northern hemisphere. The Southwest Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Program (SAM), which began in 2009, seeks to capture key components of the AMOC in a hitherto under-sampled region - the South Atlantic Ocean. Numerical climate models have indicated that important water mass transformations are undergone by the AMOC flows in the South Atlantic, however little data has previously been available for the study of these flows. The initial array deployed as part of the SAM project involves a zonal line of three pressure-equipped inverted echo sounders (PIES) and one current-and-pressure-equipped inverted echo sounder (CPIES) deployed near the western boundary at 34.5 S. In 2011 the CPIES was replaced with a PIES. Data from these instruments will be used to monitor the Brazil Current and the Deep Western Boundary Current as they carry components of the AMOC along the western boundary of the basin. Coupled with annual or semiannual hydrographic observations collected on an Argentine or Brazilian research vessel, these data will produce better understanding of the processes involved in AMOC variability in the South Atlantic. The SAM array is funded by the NOAA Climate Observations Division and is a collaboration between AOML-PHOD and scientists in Brazil and Argentina. Additional collaborations with the French, German and South African 'GoodHope' program will allow the SAM observations to provide the first continuous time series observations of basin-wide AMOC flows at this latitude.
Figure: Map indicating the locations of the four PIES/CPIES instruments deployed as part of the SAM project. Also shown (blue arrows) are the near-surface velocities observed by the shipboard-ADCP onboard the Brazilian Navy research vessel Cruzeiro do Sul during the March 2009 deployment cruise.

UCDD Board Puts Askins, Deputy On Administrative Leave
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The head of the Upper Cumberland Development District, along with her top assistant, were suspended Friday -- with some of the agency's board members demanding that executive director Wendy Askins be fired.
It all follows an exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation into that million-dollar Living the Dream house, as well as all sorts of other extravagant spending and blatant nepotism.
During an emergency meeting, the UCDD board put Askins and her deputy, Larry Webb, on administrative leave for 30 days pending the outcome of an internal investigation. They'll get just two weeks pay. Both were stripped of their authority to write checks or take out any loans on behalf of the agency. They were also ordered to surrender their agency credit cards and gas cards. Plus, they've got to turn in their UCDD vehicles and keys to the offices.
The board also asked their lawyers to try to recover $300,000 put into Living the Dream without board approval, and they requested a state investigation of their own auditor.
"Wendy and Larry have been instructed to go on administrative leave for 30 days, effective 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon," Overton County Mayor Ron Cyrus told the board at the start of the hour-long meeting.
Cyrus is a member of a committee recently appointed to oversee an internal investigation.
But some didn't think that was enough -- especially after NewsChannel 5 Investigates exposed how agency funds had gone into that million-dollar Living the Dream House, which also became Wendy Askins' luxurious home.
"It's key for this board today to do the right thing -- and not administrative leave," said Byrdstown Mayor Chris Thompson. "She needs to be gone today."
Thompson said he was most concerned by the bogus minutes that Askins' office gave NewsChannel 5, claiming that the board itself has approved a $300,000 transfer to Living the Dream.
"It's black and white," Thompson said, waving a copy of the real and bogus minutes he obtained from our website.
"It's in the minutes, there's no denying it, none whatsoever. There's no way this board can deny that this is an administrative problem and that she does not need to come back and be over the Upper Cumberland Development District."
But UCDD lawyer Bob Walker told board members he needed 30 days to conduct an investigation that no one could question."
"Those minutes and the alteration of them is central to this investigation -- I can tell you that," Walker said.
UCDD board chairman Mike Foster supported the lawyer's recommendation.
"You don't make a case until you have all the facts -- and you don't get your warrants until you know what you're talking about," said Foster, who is Dekalb County executive.
Cyrus agreed that due process was important.
"If we fail to do that," he said, "I tell you what we are fixing to face. We'll face a lawsuit that is going to make every one of us in here quiver."
Thompson was not persuaded.
"She can sue or whatever," he responded. "I don't think that's going to matter. When it's on paper, the board needs to do something."
In the end, the board voted to go with the attorney's advice.
"My intention was to make a motion to separate her from the organization without pay, terminate her," Thompson said. "Of course, you can't win all the battles."
Foster said that "we see a lot of things differently -- the whole board does."
He said that our NewsChannel 5 investigation of Living the Dream, the nepotism and Askins' wild spending has opened the entire board's eyes.
"I think we did the right thing by taking the attorney's advice and handling it the way we did, and I feel better about that," Foster said.
The chairman cautioned his colleagues not to speculate about the final outcome of the internal investigation since this all could end up in a lawsuit.
As for the Living the Dream house, it wasn't clear from the meeting whether Askins would continue to live there.
However, NewsChannel 5 heard from the college students who were living in the much-smaller house she owns. They've told us they are being evicted.

This monday, I returned from a trip to Boston, during which I attended my first GNOME Boston Summit. During the three days of the event, I was presented to a number of interesting discussions (most of them described by Colin Walters and Mattias Clasen in their reports), ranging from lower level issues to higher level issues. Many of the matters discussed were new to me (I'm a considerably new contributor – started working on GNOME very recently, during the last round of the OPW) and, therefore, the Summit was a great, great way to learn tones about the very many areas of the GNOME project – the sessions on GNOME OS, Developer tools and 3.7 planning were specially interesting to me, in that sense.
Apart from all the learning, I also had the opportunity to actually engage in some very interesting conversations. I had a number of discussions on GNOME marketing messaging, culminating in (what I think to be) a very useful Marketing session during the last day of the Summit. We did some brainstorming on the GNOME project's vision and goals and tried to come up with ideas on how to better communicate them. This is tightly related to another discussion I had with some people during the Summit, regarding the GNOME main website and how to improve it to better portray our project to current and potential users.
Another great, great thing was the set of activities for Newcomers that was held during this year's Summit. Most of my contributions to GNOME have been related to design and documentation tasks and so, so far, I haven't really adventured myself into developement activities. During the Summit, I got the chance to get myself started with the GNOME platform with an introduction to GObject, during the Gnome University session. The Newcomers Tutorial put together for Friday's session was also really useful in terms of getting myself familiarized with the tools and workflows used for GNOME development. During the "Fix-your-first-bug" hackfest, I got to practice the things I learned from the tutorial and also manage to successfully jhbuild GNOME for the first time (!). Even though I haven't finished fixing my first bug (yet, I hope!), these sessions were indeed great introduction for new contributors.
So, yeah, this was a great first Boston Summit, I think. Thanks to everyone that put work on making it happen, to Marina and Christian for the amazing Newcomers track, and to the GNOME Foundation for making it possible for me to attend it.

SOCHI, Russia - The external noise that comes with being the starting goaltender for Team Canada at the Olympics isn't all that unfamiliar to Carey Price, who is immersed in a regular pressure-cooker back home in Montreal.
"I live inside a bubble anyway," said Price, who will start in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. "I don't get into too much about what anybody has to say really. I'm just out there just trying to do my job like everybody else."
If not tested much yet, the stoic Price has nonetheless done his job thus far, but it's now under the scope of elimination that pressure really picks up on the 26-year-old. Having been through the daily ringer with the Canadiens, however, he may be just the guy to withstand the heat.
"[Price] has that personality," said Jonathan Toews, "that he can just keep things even-keel even if half the city of Montreal wants to come have a word with him on his doorstep. But I think that's what makes him the type of goalie that we really trust in our locker room at this tournament."
Toews got a firsthand look at how Price, a Vancouver native, stays cool under fire seven years ago. Teammates during the 2007 World Junior Championships, Toews saw Price stoned any and all competition en route to gold in Sweden, earning tournament MVP with a 1.14 goals against average. It was then that the future Chicago Blackhawks captain foresaw star potential and a personality that seemed unshakeable.
"I don't think anything I knew about him then has changed now," said the 25-year-old Toews. "I think he's still the same relaxed guy that handles those sort of pressure situations pretty well."
Duncan Keith recalled Price's comments in the fall of 2010 when he told fans in Montreal to "relax" after they booed him during a preseason game at the Bell Centre.
"He told the fans to chill out and now I kind of see how he's like," said Keith of Price's tempered state of being. "When you have a goaltender that's relaxed and calm I think that can run through the rest of the guys when they see that. I think that's a good thing. It's a calming influence and in these type of games where there's a lot of pressure and a lot at stake you want to be composed and not panic."
Price has yet to face that level of pressure in these Olympics and it remains to be seen how exactly he'll manage under the highest levels of duress. Even the great Martin Brodeur slipped up on the Olympic stage, most recently in 2010 when he lost the starting job to Roberto Luongo following a poor performance against the Americans in the preliminary round.
Price wasn't tested much during Canada's final preliminary round game versus Finland this time around - just 15 shots with stiff defensive backing in his second start - but he did manage a key save or two along the way. Most notable among them was a blocker stop on Petri Kontiola with the score even at one in a tense third period.
"Just trying to stay alert, pay attention to details because in tight-scoring games that's what it comes down to is making sure that you're aware of any type of situation that may appear," said Price, emotions at an unrelenting equal equilibrium.
Insulated in many ways from any hint of Canadian pressure on the other side of the globe, Price believes his experience in Montreal will nonetheless be beneficial with the weight (and pride of course) of the red Maple Leaf on his chest.
Toews compared his teammate's ability to handle that pressure to the current no. 2 here in Russia, Roberto Luongo. "One day things are great and the next day things aren't so good if they don't play a solid game," said Toews. "I think those two guys have learned to just forget about the bad days and just move on and know that eventually things will come back."
There won't be any opportunity for bad days from here on in. A slip-up on this stage could cost the Canadians in their bid for a gold repeat. "…at this point of my career I'm happy with the way things are going and I know what I need to focus on," he said. "I don't need to focus on what somebody else thinks I should be doing I know what I need to be doing."

"Late night YouTube watching was a bad idea. So many boys pretending to be professional wrstlers. A pair of trunks and a ring don't make you a wrestler."
- Mike Bennett bashing fans who are amateur wrestlers
Since every wrestling fan on the planet is curious about CM Punk leaving WWE, TNA has decided to take advantage of the situation by posting several of his matches for free on their YouTube account this week. Punk worked for the company during their early years.
Edge recently paid a surprise visit to a comedy show that Mick Foley was doing in New York, and the video of that appearance has now surfaced online.
Even though she is no longer with the company, WWE has decided to feature Beth Phoenix and her Glam Slam finisher on an episode of 30 Second Fury.
At a Dragon Gate USA show, Kassius Ohno, who was recently released by WWE, took a jab at Triple H by having his opponent doing the crotch chop and Pedigree finisher, which Ohno was able to kick out of at the one count.
TNA released a video, where Bobby Roode attacked James Storm inside of a bar in Orlando.
In order to give him a little bit of momentum heading into the Survivor Series, Alberto Del Rio was given a victory over Santino Marella on WWE Main Event this week.
An announcement has been made that Shark Boy will be returning to TNA this week on the special Turning Point edition of Impact Wrestling.
Former WWE star Nikolai Volkov and former NWA star Bobby Fulton were forced to wrestle on a mat at an independent wrestling show in a small town in Ohio recently, as promoters were unable to secure a ring for them to work on.
While many are under the impression that the bridge has been burnt between the two sides, Jay Lethal recently revealed on Twitter that he was very much willing to return to TNA if the money and the situation was right. No word yet on whether or not the company is interested.
Despite being just 28 years of age and being viewed as one of the better performers on the independent wrestling circuit, there has been very little interest in WWE of bringing former TNA star Jay Lethal on board. He will more than likely stick with ROH for the time being.

ATLANTA (AP) - A new study estimates that people who don't pay for their subway or bus rides are costing metro Atlanta's transit agency nearly $3.4 million annually.
The estimated revenue loss represents less than 1% of MARTA's current budget, but officials said it still hurts.
MARTA's chief operating officer, Rich Krisak, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/16Bv7nA ) that spending an additional $2 million annually could reduce waiting times at rail stations by five minutes. Shorter waiting times could attract more riders, leading to more revenue for the agency.
The study concluded the rate of fare evasion on the rail system was around 2%. MARTA based its estimates on observations at rail stations and bus stops.
MARTA General Manager Keith Parker has formed a taskforce to study possible solutions.

ASSE Issues Call for Help for Hurricane Sandy Clean-Up Workers in Need of PPE
ASSE has been working with its local members in the New York and New Jersey areas to get help to those impacted by Hurricane Sandy. At the personal request of Assistant Secretary David Michaels, ASSE, NSC and AIHA have reached out to companies to encourage them to donate PPE and other safety equipment to nonprofits in New York and New Jersey who can distribute the donations to workers.
ASSE has also begun a grass roots effort to reach out to members connected to ASSE through government affairs to reach out to suppliers, their employers and others to donate PPE and other safety equipment for distribution to workers in the impact area.
In addition, the ASSE Foundation has stepped up to serve as a repository of financial contributions, 100% of which will be given to ASSE's New York City Chapter for the purchase of PPE that Chapter members will distribute to workers. The New York City Chapter is holding a fundraiser November 29 and offered to match up to $2500 in contributions.
But, the need is great and will not end soon. You can still help –
- Encourage your suppliers or employer or anyone else to donate PPE. Everything is needed, from safety vests to rubber chemical resistant and leather gloves to electrically insulated boots and N 95 respirators. Contact OSHA's Cathie M. Mannion, Assistant Regional Administrator for Technical Support, at email@example.com or 347-996-2041 for specific donation information and delivery locations.
- Donate to the ASSE Sandy PPE Fund by filling in the form at the link and typing "Sandy PPE Fund" in the space after Other.
- Spread the message and encourage others to spread the message.
- Let firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com know if you are contributing or have helped find someone else to contribute, if you can.
ASSE's power is in its members. Thanks for proving that once again.

The human genome is enormous in size and complexity, yet contains the blueprints for a relatively small number of genes. The bulk of our genome appears to be populated with remnants of virus-like elements (transposable elements), suggesting a surprisingly dynamic and intriguing evolutionary history. Some researchers today believe that the subtle effects of these transposable elements have enabled our genome to become an exquisitely fine-tuned machine, while other researchers suggest the massive accumulation of elements have simply left our genome filled with junk. Thomas H. Eickbush, Ph.D., studies a model transposable element system for which accumulating evidence suggests that they are selfish parasites, persisting since the origin of animals despite the host's attempts to get rid of them. Whether beneficial or detrimental, the presence of transposable elements represent a considerable obstacle to understanding how genomes function.
Eickbush was born in southern Indiana and attended Indiana University where he received degrees in both Zoology and Chemistry. Leaving his mid-western roots, he went to Baltimore MD and obtained a Ph.D. in Biology from Johns Hopkins University and then to Harvard University as a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral fellow. He was appointed Lecturer in Cell Biology at Harvard for one year before joining the faculty at the University of Rochester in 1983. His research on transposable elements started in 1987.
