If you're going to use Connect for more than just a basic presentation tool. If you want to use it for more of a collaboration tool, and you've set a meeting room up that acts more of like a room than a presentation, then you're going to want to consider how you're going to manage your participants. For example, you can see that Olivia is in the room as a participant, and if she wants to be able to do anything more than passively watch the presentation, then I'm going to need to manage her a little bit. Now let me first start by showing you what it looks like if you are Olivia. I am going to Change My Role to a Participant, and this is it.
All she can do is sit and listen, and she can chat with me to participate, or she can use her Status Indicator here to do something like Raise her Hand, or Agree, or Disagree, or whatever. But if this is a collaborative session, I am probably going to want her to be able to do more. So I am going to convert myself back to a Host. The first thing that I want to do is give her access to the microphone. If we are using voice over IP for the meeting, that's going to be a very convenient way for her to be able to participate. I can hover over her name, and select Enable Audio.
But if this is going to be a meeting with five, six, ten, 15 people in it, that's going to take time for me to go through and do that for everybody, and frankly that's cumbersome. So what I am instead going to do is for a meeting room like this, select Enable Audio For Participants. So now everybody in the room who is a participant will have access to the microphone. I'll show you what that looks like. See, she has the microphone now. Go back to being a Host. So that's a convenient way to start the process of giving people access to things, but I can go further than that.
For example, if I want to allow Olivia to write on this Whiteboard, I'm going to select her name, and from the Attendees Pod Options, I'll select Attendee Options > Enhanced Participant Rights. I can choose to give her rights to the Share Pod. Once I do that, Olivia will have access to these same tools, and she can choose to write on the Whiteboard as a part of the collaboration. Now frankly, that's probably more cumbersome than I want. It's good to be able to have that level of control. But if I want everyone to start participating, then an easier way to do that is to select Meeting > Manage Access & Entry, and Auto-Promote Participants to Presenters.
What that's going to do is that for everyone who comes into the room, they're going to automatically become a presenter. This is a setting that stays active for the room until you turn it off. So you may want to think about that. If you turn it off, then everyone will go back to being a participant. If you leave it on, anyone who comes into the room until you turn it off will be promoted to presenter. But there is one more thing that I want to show you, because there's a formal way to do all of this using user accounts. If you're going to have a room with a standard number of people that come into the room over and over again, it's probably going to be more convenient to set things up ahead of time, so that you don't have to do these things in an ad hoc fashion.
So for that, I am going to select Meeting, and I want to get to the portal. So I am going to select Manage Meeting Information. I am actually not interested in this Meeting's information, specifically, yet, because I want to go to Administration. I am going to select Users and Groups, because I am going to create a group of people. Because this is a group of people that I am going to be working with over and over again in this room, and so I'll go ahead and scroll down here in the browser. I am going to select New Group.
Tim's meeting group. Click Next. Scroll down. I'm going to invite Bob to the meeting group, Kirk to the meeting group, and Olivia to the meeting group, and click Finish. So I have created a meeting group that I am going to use with the room. So you can see that I have Tim's meeting group here. Back to the Meeting room, I'll enter Tim's Room. I am going to select Edit Participants, and you can see that I have Olivia in the room, and she is set up to be a Host.
First off, I am going to remove her individually, because I may want to add somebody specific. For example, Sam, we'll Add. I can select Sam, Set his User Role to be, in this case, Presenter. That means he can participate in the collaborative session, but he is not a full-blown host in the room, and that's probably a good idea. But instead of doing this for each and every individual, all I need to do is select Tim's meeting group and click Add, and then select Tim's meeting group here, and I can set the user group for the entire role with a single click of the mouse.
The great thing about this is that from now on if somebody else wants to join my group and I want to allow them, all I need to do is add them to the group. I don't actually have to go through the process of adding them to my room over and over again. This is good, because I might have several different meeting rooms that I am using with Tim's meeting group set up for different purposes. As long as I have added this group to the meeting room as a Current Participant and set their User Role, then I can manage the group as a single item, and it covers all of the meetings to which I've invited this group as a set of participants.
So when you're working in a Connect room and you want to do something more than just present to people, you want people to be able to collaborate in the room, it's a really good idea to think about how those people are going to interact with you. Are they transient? Do you want to allow them in one by one, and then manage them separately, or is it more convenient for you to create a group of users on the Connect system that you can add to the room, and then bring in, in one fell swoop, and give them all the rights they need to be able to participate fully.

Pilgrims Trail by Bike
The Via Tolosana, now more commonly known as the Way of Arles, was one of the four traditional pilgrim routes which could be travelled in two directions. Pilgrims from Spain and Portugal used it to travel to Rome, and pilgrims from Italy, Provence and Germany used it to travel to the tomb of St James in Santiago de Compostela. This self guided cycle between Provence and Languedoc lets you experience a less trodden pilgrimage route and absorb the incredible landscapes typical of southern France. Between Arles and Montpellier the route crosses the Camargue, the first wetland of France before continuing past olive groves and vineyards of Languedoc to the beautiful village of St Guilhem le Desert and finally Lodève. En route experience the fabulous hospitality of your hosts in a selection of hand picked hotels and enjoy the culinary treats for which the region is so famous.

BBW are perfect for facesitting. A wide hip, huge ass or big bubble butt is perfect for the task and no BBW is complete without those full assets. With a facesitting BBW there is plenty to experience. The sweet smell of her ass and her wet pussy rubbing against your face is a unique experience. With their full figured, curvy bodies, there is nothing like the feeling of the pressure of that voluptuous weight pressing down on you. A smotherbox or queening stool isn't even needed with a facesitting BBW, since part of the experience is feeling every ounce of her voluptuous body pressing against your face. A BBW has enough power to smother or asphyxiate anyone she wants, but she is in full control of her hot big body and how she uses it against her submissive target. Face sitting is also called queening and it fits them, since a facesitting BBW is a queen herself, and her submissive slaves' faces are her throne. Their helplessness is what a facesitting BBW queen feeds on, and the slave's reward is the honor to be smothered by every inch of that glorious curvy body.

Join the Bus! Looking for a 2014 Democracy Organizing Fellow.
The Bus Project is hiring two highly-motivated, energetic, and street-savvy organizers to participate in our 2014 Democracy Organizing Fellowship. The program kicks off in mid July with intensive training in organizing, team management, volunteer mobilization, and a whole host of other topics for the kick-ass organizer.
During the course of the program, Fellows create their own voter registration field plan, develop volunteer leaders, and take to the streets to engage Oregonians in democracy. Oh, and they'll help a ton of new voters register to vote before the October 14, 2014 Oregon deadline and talk with young folks about important issues on the November ballot.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
- Work with a tight-knit team to help Oregonians register or update their registration for the 2014 elections
- Create a field plan (with assistance from Bus Staff) with specific quantifiable targets for volunteers recruited, signatures gathered and voters registered to help ensure we meet our 2014 goals.
- Participate in two weeks of intensive skill-building in grassroots organizing and leadership development
- Recruit, train and manage volunteers to register, educate, and mobilize young voters
- Manage the processing and data entry of voter registration cards and volunteer information
- Research voter registration opportunities, and attend concerts, street fairs and festivals, and private college & university events to register voters
- Take part in, and potentially manage, Get Out The Vote efforts after the voter registration deadline
- Previous significant experience with a political, advocacy, or voter engagement campaign, including face-to-face field work, coalition building, coordination within campaigns, and management of multiple volunteers and staff
- Whip-smart (Maybe you've been called a genius a time or two.)
- Outgoing, enthusiastic and confident (Ever met a person you couldn't charm?)
- Highly organized, self-motivated and productive (Other people talk, you get shit done.)
- Proven ability to work toward a plan and achieve results
- Relentlessly positive in the face of obstacles (and endless opportunities)
- Culturally competent and comfortable discussing race, gender, and power
- Ability to buckle down and wrap projects up
- "Zoom factor" (You know the dream is only as good as the execution)
Time Commitment
Mandatory crash course starting ASAP in early to mid July. Ongoing, campaign hours are generally 40-50 hours per week, including many evenings and some weekends, with more demanding hours leading up to the November election. July 5 – November 7th, with the option of a summer only fellowship for students.
$1700-2000 per month, plus eligibility for some overtime pay and bonuses for meeting and exceeding targets.
To Apply
If this sounds like we wrote your life story without ever having met you, apply by sending your resume, cover letter, and three references to firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll be reviewing applications as they arrive, with priority given to those we receive by 5pm on Thursday, July 10, 2014. Include "Democracy Organizing Fellow: [Your Full Name]" in the subject line.
Women, People of Color, and members of the LGBTQ community are strongly encouraged to apply.
Be a Wet Hot American Democracy Summer Intern!
Are you already super bored with everything you're doing to finish out the school year? The Bus Project is doing cool stuff this summer and we want you to hang out with us this summer instead of going to camp for the fourteenth straight year.
We like to say that we're a forward thinking, even more forward-doing, non-partisan and hella young non-profit advocating and building power for the youths. We register anyone and everyone we can to vote, we train activists and organizers, and we lobby and vouch for the issues we care about. We'll be doing organizing of all kinds this summer, so if you're down to register voters in all of the ways, build and run entire programs and change some lives, LET'S DO THIS!!
Apply to be one of our BAMF interns today!
Administrative: This is the perfect role for someone who likes to be behind the scenes. If you're a wizard at scheduling, using Google Apps and organizing databases and documents, this will be a sweet gig for you to garner some office experience. You'll be the right hand homies to our staff, whose quirks and bad jokes you'll get to know best. Love is in the details, and we'd love it if you were super detail-oriented for this position!
Social Justice: If you've got big ideas about how to have those hard discussions about race, class, gender, sexual orientation – YOU NAME IT – we want you. We're building a crew that can craft issue-specific trainings to give to our whole network. We want diverse perspectives, we want irreverent and/or serious lessons, but above all we want honest approaches that come from a place of love. This is an opportunity for you to flex your brain and show the world your skills, say what you think and start a much-needed dialogue.
Development: If you're curious about nonprofit fundraising and all of the ways we receive the financial resources we need to run our programs, look no further. You'll learn the fine art of roping in $$ and how it guides our work. No previous experience is required, but your responsibilities will vary depending on your background. Tasks could include anything from donor research to database management to assisting with grant applications. This position is heavily dependent on people who are hyper-organized and incredibly detail-oriented.
Outreach & Field: If you'd call yourself a people person, love being the center of attention and/or somebody could mistake you for one of the extras in the video for Pharrell's "Happy," then this position is perfect for ya. You'll be going to events and schmoozing with young people who are as stoked about democracy as you are and plug them into the Bus! Basically, you'll be the face of fun.
Communications: Calling all tech, A/V and social media wizards!! Because we're up to a ton of good this summer, we need people who are going to help us document all of it. We're definitely going to be all over the streets of Portland and we want the rest of the world to know it too! If you're savvy with websites, cameras, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. then hit us up! Did someone say #selfie?
All interns are expected to commit an average of 10-20 hours depending on the intensity of your involvement. If you think you have what it takes to be a member of the team or if you really don't want to go to camp, talk to us! Apply here: http://goo.gl/YzWuS1
You can email email@example.com with any questions you've got!
**And don't worry, we don't actually bleed our interns.

If you are in the Portland area and looking to celebrate a little bit of democracy, we're teaming up with the fine folks at Oregon Walks, the state's pedestrian advocacy committee, to march to the Ballot Box this evening. We'll be meeting at 5pm at Lucky Lab Brewery on SE Hawthorne then marching up to the Election Office at 6:30. Come learn more about Bus Project/Oregon Walks initiatives this summer and enjoy the weather and democracy over drinks!

Are you one of those people who scrolled to the bottom and didn't have time to actually look over this blog post?
The Bus's Endorsements for Local Office
Anybody who's taken a ride on the Bus knows we don't make our decisions lightly. Our endorsements are the product of hundreds of hours of thoughtful conversations (loud arguments) between volunteers and are supported by countless hours of rigorous research (rigorous drinking).
Local offices are the parts of American democracy closest to us. The ones we can touch, and feel, and smell. They're where the real business gets done. They matter, dammit. And that's why we put in the work.
But it's all worth it, because the Bus makes the right choices. And ME OH MY 2014 will be a doozy. We know these choices may be controversial. But if you can't stand on principle in this world, where can you stand? In line, with the rest of the sheeple? NO THANK YOU.
Without further ado, here are the Bus Project's endorsements for local offices:
We find the tasteful yellow hues soothing.
What is this, an office for GYMNASTS? A workspace from the third dream level of Inception? #CAREFULDONTFALL
Simple. Elegant. Nice use of green stuff. I'll take it!
We agree that the bear is kinda overkill, but you can't be a purist in politics.
Dude! Look at the shiny vents! AND THE HARDWOOD. OH BABY THE HARDWOOD.
But our favorite is definitely this one:
C'mon. Where else will you have this much fun doin' good? We've got epic Trick or Votes to plan, a Millennial Voter Guide to design, the TENTH summer of PolitiCorps to kick off. PLUS – we're gonna knock on ten hundred zillion doors to support GLBT equality, marijuana reform & legalization, and the Driver's Card referendum. So, um Git. On. Da. BUS. Or, donate.
*April Fools! Some of these offices aren't even in Oregon… DUH!
We're gettin' the Bus back together!
Do you love the Bus? Were you on the Bus before it was cool? Did you help start the darn thing? Well it's time to bring all the aunties and uncles and cousins together.
We're having a family reunion, y'all!! We warned you 2014 was going to be big, and now it's time to get to work! Here's what's in store:
When & Where: Tuesday, March 25th from 5:30 – 8:00pm (program starts at 6) at Hatch on 2510 NE Sandy Blvd.
What: We're talking about our 2014 work and the exciting changes in store for us. Drinks and snacks first. Afterwards, flex your brain power to conjure up brilliant ways to best inspire and engage Millennials this year… AND give a fond farewell to toast and roast our old Bus as it enters retirement!
Who: Come meet the great people who help make us the Bus – volunteers, alums, donors, partners… and of course, YOU!
Why: As Oregon's needs change, so must our work. It's your chance to set the new course for the future of your favorite programs like Trick or Vote and Bus Trips!
As always, come thirsty and come hungry (for change). Get ready for extra hugs, love and awkward family photos. Don't forget – we'll pour one out for a parting elder whose legend will live on in the dreams of children for time immemorial.
Can't make it? Make a donation to keep us moving forward.
Interns? Meh. Springterns? Yes!
We're on the lookout for some awesome interns to help our Spring programs bloom in full force! We've got a whole darn smorgasbord of open spots. If you're interested in a gig, see if any of these sound like you!
Admissions: We are all about finding talent and connecting it to meaningful work! The Bus runs one of the nation's most competitive summer fellowships, PolitiCorps. To stay competitive we work on this program year-round and are now in the process of revamping our admissions processes. If you are a good planner, expert with logistics and able to manage multiple projects, then PolitiCorps needs you! This position will require comfort navigating college sites, organizing applicant data, familiarity with Bus data systems (we'll train you, no worries) and some phone time.
Events & Fundraising: Ever dreamed of being a club promoter? Or just like to throw ragers? Then we want you! We're gonna party like it's 2014… which means all the time. We need someone who is a total people person, a graceful yet speedy juggler of everything, and unafraid to ask for what you want. You'll learn how to schmooze, hustle and raise those dollar bills in big, big stacks.
Finance & Development: If you're into money and numbers, come learn the basics of non-profit work behind the scenes. As an organized guru, you'll work with our development team to keep our finance boat afloat. You'll get trade secrets of fundraising and schooled in the sexy legal lingo. Our dream interns are driven to bring in the dough, discreet and responsible with sensitive information – and understand that love is in the details.
Outreach: You love meeting new people and bringing diverse communities together. We're looking for the ultimate "people person" to join our team to get folks interested, organize our supporters, and keep the wheels on this machine properly rolling. You'll get exposure to some of the greatest minds in politics, nonprofit leadership and business. On top of it all, you'll hammer out event details, develop new organizing strategies, and keep our Outreach and Voter Engagement Coordinator in line.
Social Media & Outreach: We need help getting the word out! We want the Bus to be the place where young people go to get involved and lately it's felt more like a secret society. If you move about social media sites with ease, enjoy connecting with new people and love going to events, then this has your name ALL OVER IT! As a social media and outreach intern you will be responsible for giving a facelift to our current social media sites, getting folks interested, organizing our supporters and capturing our work for the world to know about.
Web Design: Our sites need some mad love! You found this so chances are good you've seen em – you agree? Then we need you! We want our web pages to reflect our fun spirit and capture in the words of our youth leaders what we do and what we are really about. As a web design intern you will use your creative genius to capture the ideas of our team and combine them with your tech savvy to create gifs, memes, short videos and whatever else makes sense.
To apply, get in touch with our Program Director at email@example.com!

Why Citi's right to raise salaries
John Carney is underwhelmed by the news that Citi is raising its base salaries:
Let's break this down in the simplest terms: this is a disaster. Without taxpayer guarantees and funding, Citigroup would be unable to give its employees higher base salaries. The best employees would leave for other firms. This market process would further diminish Citi and enhance its better managed competitors. Everyone, except Citi shareholders and some of its senior management, would be better off. Instead, taxpayer funds are being used to block this market process, trapping talent inside a failed firm and rewarding management's worst mistakes.
The problem with this argument is that without taxpayer guarantees and funding, Citigroup would be unable to give its employees any base salaries at all, or bonuses, or anything but a pink slip. Citi is too big to fail, which means the US government has to support it. At the same time, the stated aim of the Obama administration is to be as hands-off as possible when it comes to its ownership stake in banks — something which Carney in general supports. (I'm sure he wouldn't want the government interfering with loan decisions, for instance.)
If you're going to leave Citigroup's senior management to run the company, you have to let them decide on things like the proper ratio of bonuses to base salaries. And since that ratio was obviously far too high in the past, it has to come down substantially. And a sensible way of bringing that ratio down is to raise base salaries (and, of course, reduce bonuses as well).
There's no reason why Citigroup can't take the lead in rationalizing its compensation structure. If part of that rationalization involves raising base salaries, fine. Resorting to "if it wasn't for us taxpayers you wouldn't exist at all" is unhelpful.
Hey Felix. I read your opinion and here's mine…
I don't give half a f-ck about whether Citi is too big to fail. I don't give a f-ck about their management or their employees. I especially don't give any f-ck at all about your argument that "if it wasn't for us taxpayers, there would be no Citi at all" is unhelpful. You are a whiny little c-nt. Are you an idiot or just young and ignorant?
What we should do, and should have done is let the bastards fall and burn. Instead we prop them up to continue business as usual.
You, sir, and your column here are unheplful to our country, our citizens and to ever learning from this criminal enterprise we called banking up until a year ago.
Let's work on the buy-in premise of 'rationalization'.
Too high, too low, just right. Alright, we can run with that. It rather actaully lets the open market make the determination.
Much like 'too big to fail' does not; allowing for the passage of time and regulatory safeguards – there should be no such phrase in use.
As to transparency, when will the regulators themselves be OPEN to independent audit?
any increase in this economy after the bailout proves these people are nuts; much less 50% are you people insane? if you are not happy with your job elevator goes to lobby don;t let doors hit you on way out. Good luck finding another job – you company losses money no bonus; no raise; no perks STFU or leave end of story!
Clearly these people just do not get it still – its time to close this place down break it up; sell it take the hit. As an investor and principle shareholder I'm ok with that
How can people be so short sighted? Instead of failing this company just like GM and all the other ones the government has nationalized is going to suck down taxpayer money forever. You're trading short term pain for something much worse.
The increase is for mainly Investment Bankers, and Traders. The government intervention has created a very skewed incentive system for top management at Citi (more so than what existed at the beginning of the crisis) At this point, they have to go for home runs, using tax payer money, so make sure CITI gets profitable again (not necessarily helping the economy). Currently, the only areas where easy money is available is in trading, specifically fixed income trading. And so, Citi Management will go all out to retain people there. Nothing wrong with that, except that its not going to help the economy one bit. Not like in China, where the banks are state run and have been mandated to expand lending or face harsh consequences.
Citi is the hardest hit of the big banks — so why the f-ck are its execs and vps going to get a 50% salary increase? The rest of America is getting their income cut. Why are the bridge crew of America's most failed bank getting piles of cash? Screw their 2008 salaries. The rest of us aren't making our 2008 salaries, why should they? I hope this news gets out, and people start cutting their Citi ties in protest.
As a invester and having account with Citi, I now plan to withdraw my money and close my account. I rather dug a hole in my back yard and put my money there then for trust in these kind of financial institution.
you have to appreciate the irony in this. we hear for months how the unions shouldnt be getting such a good deal at GM and Chrysler, and yet we dont bat an eyelid when a union (essentially) at Citi manages to get a raise despite poor performance. i mean this would be equivalent to Ron Gettelfinger negotiating a raise for union workers after gm went into bankruptcy. Should the government be intruding in pay discussion? only in as far as it is state money that is supporting this extravagance. If you dont have the nerve to see companies fail, the least you can do is make sure that they are operating in ways that are rational rather than expanding their rent seeking. I agree that we shouldnt be attacking everything, but there is very little sign that this is a move to rationalize compensation as opposed to an incentive to stay etc. In fact given what we have just learned, what makes anyone think that this is the right step in the direction of rationalization?
Hats off to Joe Mass for putting it in more eloquent terms than most of us.
Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that the follow-through on the "reduce bonuses as well" part is going to happen… well, never.
This would be laughable if it weren't such an incredibly serious issue. Apparently, Mr. Salmon has his head so far up Citi's behind that he's failed to notice (or even mention) that these bonuses come not only on the back of the TARP funds but a $4 increase in overdraft fees (up to $34 from $30) and increased ATM fees for non-Citibank members (from $2 to $3). Not to mention foreclosures are up 22 percent from last year [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/05/busin ess/05gret.html]. Simon Johnson, the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund from 2007-08, recently argued [http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200905/i mf-advice] that any bank that's too big to fail is too big to exist. Who you gonna believe: Mr. Johnson or some two-bit hack blogger?

Ben Roethlisberger throws decisive interception late in loss to Bengals
Ben Roethlisberger has had a tough time moving the Steelers' offense early in the 2013 season, and Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals was no exception.
Pittsburgh struggled to a 10-point offensive output on Monday Night Football in Week 2. Roethlisberger didn't get a ton of help from the players around him, but he also threw an interception that helped the Bengals secure the victory.
Roethlisberger has to shoulder some of the blame for this one.
Todd Haley has often taken the blame for the Steelers' offensive struggles, but Roethlisberger was off the mark often on Monday night. He finished the game with 251 passing yards, one touchdown and this crucial interception.
The Steelers are now 0-2 on the season and facing an uphill battle in the AFC North.

Dunbar was forced to forfeit its game against Southwestern on Saturday because too many Poets were ineligible to play the game.
The players were suspended for leaving the bench and brawling at the end of last week's game against Dunbar (D.C.) in the I-95 Kickoff Classic. There were not enough available players for the Poets to play with, according to coach Lawrence Smith.
"The thing is, you do things and you've got to deal with the consequences," Smith told the Baltimore Sun. "It's a loss, but we'll rebound from it. It's a life lesson for the kids. These kids, they go on and some of them play in college and they will always remember this and learn from it and you hope they will use better judgement in the future."
The Poets (1-1) will have all of their players back for this Saturday's game against City College. Southwestern (2-0) earned its second win of the season, having defeated Lake Clifton 26-6 in the opening week. The game officially went into the record books as a 2-0 Southwestern victory.
The brawl with Dunbar (D.C.) came with 4:33 remaining in regulation and with the Poets up 22-8. Both teams' benches cleared, resulting in automatic suspensions for those who ran onto the field.

By Laura L. Myers
SEATTLE (Reuters) - One of five U.S. soldiers accused of killing Afghan civilians in cold blood was freed on Friday from a year of pretrial detention and an Army major has recommended that the current charge of premeditated murder be reduced to manslaughter, the soldier's lawyer said.
The release of Private Andrew Holmes came weeks after an Army judge ordered fact-finding proceedings reopened and granted a defense request for a new evidentiary hearing in the case, which was referred in January for court-martial.
Major Michael Liles, the investigating officer who presided over the new hearing last month, concluded that military prosecutors lacked sufficient evidence to prove the murder charge, for which Holmes faced a life sentence if convicted.
Instead, Liles urged that Holmes be charged with the lesser offense of manslaughter stemming from the death of a young, unarmed Afghan villager. Under the military code of justice, manslaughter is punishable by a prison term of up to 15 years.
Ultimately, the decision to accept or reject Liles' recommendation rests with the top two commanders at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington, the home installation for Holmes' Army unit.
Liles' report was issued June 7 and furnished on Friday to Holmes' civilian lawyer, Dan Conway, who provided it to Reuters. Conway said the recommendation "reenergizes us."
Holmes is the youngest of five members of an infantry unit formerly called the 5th Stryker Brigade charged with murder in connection with three Afghan civilian slayings investigators say were staged to look like legitimate combat casualties.
One of the other soldiers, Jeremy Morlock, was sentenced to 24 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and agreed to testify against his co-defendants.
Another of the accused, Michael Wagnon, was released in April from pretrial confinement, and two others remain in detention -- Adam Winfield and the alleged "kill team" ringleader, Calvin Gibbs.
Holmes, who is from Boise, Idaho, remains restricted to Washington state and is required to wear an electronic monitor on his ankle, Army spokesman Christopher Ophardt said.
He said Army commanders let Holmes out of detention after deciding "he is no longer a flight risk or will conduct serious misconduct in society." He immediately returned to his unit for administrative duty, Ophardt said.
Family members said in a statement on Friday that Holmes had been incarcerated since returning to duty in Afghanistan from a home leave in May of 2010, and expressed hope that his release from the brig marked a turning point in his favor.
"We are guardedly optimistic that this may also be the first step taken toward a larger, more definitive release from custody and dismissal of charges."
The investigation into the incidents involving Holmes and the four Stryker troops, which began as a probe of hashish use by soldiers, has grown into the most serious prosecution of alleged atrocities by the U.S. military during 10 years of war in Afghanistan.
Holmes faces a single count of murder stemming from the death of a 15-year-old Afghan boy in January 2010.
Both he and Morlock appear in photos published in March showing them, posed separately, crouched over the bloodied, prone corpse of the Afghan youth, holding his head up for the camera by the hair.
At his first evidential hearing last year, Holmes professed his innocence to the presiding officer, declaring, "I want to tell you, soldier to soldier, that I did not commit murder."
Liles said that photos of the victim's body presented as defense evidence last month showed the "lack of bullet pattern that would be consistent with" the type of machine-gun Holmes was carrying at the time. Holmes has admitted firing his weapon on orders from Morlock but that he intentionally missed.
A trial date of September 19 has been set, Conway said.

I understand that you're the local paper's water carrier for American Idol, even as it falls into the abyss of mediocrity, but no mention of "The Voice" on Monday night? The one thing NBC has done well since Frasier completed its run, and you don't even mention it? Sad.

I'll give you that point, and I'm actually a week behind on The Voice, so I've been avoiding any reports about it. Too much stuff to watch on Mondays, for me anyways, just glad they're replaying it on NBC on Sundays. A question too, do you know if the History Channel yanked Cajun Pawn Stars or if they just gave it one of those 6 or 8 episode runs to see how it played and plan on bringing it back later on?

Wow, another uninformed viewer! Yes, Metro Coach, I like The Voice a lot. The judges/coaches have a great chemistry (which was sorely missing on X-Factor) and the talent is pretty good. But AI is still the overall #1 rated show on TV.
So with a still fairly consistent top ranking, RoHo must not be the only one "carrying the water."

Vast Wastrel….my wife and I were perplexed by a lot of the decisions last night. I thought they turned down a lot of good talent and went crazy over much lesser talent. The talent is still better overall than AI simply because they're looking for the best singers and not the best singer-who-also-looks-like-a-Hollywood-star. Also, we're not subjected to pre-scripted "awful" auditions just for publicity's sake, everyone who makes it to the show can actually sing and sing well. Also, to the person who talked about how AI is rated #1 every week, my reference to mediocrity had nothing to do with the ratings, but with the quality of the show, it has steadily declined as of late, even people who watch it religiously will agree. AI was an excellent concept when it began, but its now a shell of what it was.
February 21st, 2012
9:28 pm
@Metro – I'm liking The Voice better at this point as well. Fox has stretched Idol too thin and I don't even pay attention until they go live and seldom before they get down to 12. Even then the talent is typically 3 or 4 and easily distilled down to 15-20 minutes of DVR viewing. I'm in agreement with you and it appears with Rodney as well that at least in the initial phases The Voice is better as they start with better talent. They aren't even pretending that their pool is from amateurs and that's fine with me.

I'm a parent and I also volunteer on a regular basis. The teachers at this school are extremely hard working and intelligent. It's an honor and a privilege to be a volunteer for these wonderful teachers.
cuz its the best school!!!! best teachers!!
I am a teacher at Burbank and have the opportunity to work closely with students and their families. The Burbank family would benefit from any support we can get. Most of our students are unable to afford uniforms, school supplies, classroom supplies, or books so having $20,000 would give us the opportunity to supply our families with materials to help their child succeed in school.
I teach there! Kids are awesome!!
I have been a teacher at Burbank for 7 years. We have the best parents, students, and teachers.
The best school in the Logan Heights area. Small but just the right size not overly crowded. The teachers there are excellent. My daughter loved her Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Alegre. My husband and I went to this school as children and were really happy to send our daughter to school there as well.
Well let me just say it was really strange sending my daughter to Burbank Elementary, only because I went to this school as a child. It was funny to see that pretty much everything stayed the same except obviously for new faces. My son loved his school and his teacher and of course all of his friends. I do believe the school is going to be rebuilt which would be awesome because it is pretty run down, but don't let that discourage you. It is an excellent school.

If folks do have time to tour Seuss land, they should go ahead and hit the Cat in the Hat dark ride. It is a well themed attraction and a great people mover.
And a stop at Mythos for lunch is mandatory!!!!

Eighth Voyage of Sinbad
Dueling Dragons
Enchanted Oak Tavern Restaurant...my pick over Mythos
Jurassic River Adventure
Dudley Do Right Ripsaw Falls

The Anomaly
by Wendy Joyce
A tale of Haven and Hades, of watchful Guides and transmigrating Souls, and of the little, green Soul, from the Order of Agitators, who derails them all.
Narrated from both sides of life, The Anomaly presents an alternate reality, a dimension where every Person is a Player, where every Player is a reincarnated Soul, and where every Soul is a patron of either Haven or Hades...except Zia.
Chilkoot Pass, Alaska 1898. From Zia's lies come a disastrous ripple effect; her 10th life ends, the paths of four others skew, and the cord to humanity's future shifts. Haven and Hades ignite into war. Across celestial and physical planes, Hades sends their most ruthless Soul—Triite, Order of Persuaders—to track, target, and coerce Zia. While fighting Hades' plots to claim or destroy her, Haven discovers a paradox within Zia's Soul—a devastating paradox. For Haven to have any chance of regaining the cord in the 21st Century, they must first win another battle—a battle of wits, wisdom, and strategies to redeem the irrepressible prankster, practiced opportunist, artful liar Zia.

Testing Positive: BVC aptitude test is a necessary obstacle
Readers' comments (9)
This is by far one of the best blogs I've read on Lawyer 2B - keep up the good work whoever you are....
Seconded,brilliant. Love the honesty, a great read.
I have to agree. Very useful ... thanks!
Another great blog! I agree that an entrance exam for the BVC is a good idea. There are far too many thick people out there who think they can break into the bar when there simply isn't enough room for them.
It's fast approaching applications/ interviews time for pupillage and such. Frank and useful advice like that offered in the 'Face off' article is hard to come by - and I've scoured many a legal website!
i do not think that an entrance exam for the BVC is necessary at all! Unlike subject area's such a business, that anyone can get on to; law courses at university are being increasingly difficult to metriculate. Once reading law at university its survival of the fittest, many of the weak dropping out in the first two years.
Hence by the time one graduates and is applying for the Bar, arguably only the finest are left. So why the need to further prove oneself?
Simply because surviving University does not necessarily mean that one is suited to a career at the Bar. The essential communicative skills are not taught on a law degree; and someone with a 2:2 from luton University could get on the Bar. Their skills are clearly sub standard for the profession - and in my opinion that are hardly the finest left.
So how exactly will this test actually determine one's suitability for the Bar?
I had a look at a leading set in London today and all of the new tenants were almost without fail Oxbidge Firsts, GDL with Distinction and similar BVC results - I doubt that is going to change.
Seems the aptitude test would be just one more hurdle.
Where can you find BPTC Apitude Test Samples/ past test, for example, downloadable from the internet?

Turn It Down! The Effects of Noise on Your Child
The other day, my kids were having fun with their buddies, playing a board game. They had the stereo turned to a Latin American beat, which drummed away, sending my feet flying in the kitchen. I was fighting a losing concentration battle with a recipe I was trying to put together, while the music's rhythm vied for my attention with my twin daughters, who insisted on involving me in a block-building project.
Finally, I asked the boys to turn down the stereo. Their reaction? "Mom, you're the only one who doesn't like the music!"
That stung. Sure I like music, almost any kind of music. Love it, in fact. But when it's blaring in my ears I find the noise level unbearable. It really bothers me, to the extent that I find it detrimental to the harmony of my home.
Then there's my favorite coffee shop where I order my "Café con media lunas" (they make the best croissants!). I bring my laptop and hide in a corner where my kids can't interrupt while I harvest my thoughts. There, too, they like their music. And they like it loud. So I bring my ear plugs.
I began digging. How deep is the apparent indifference to noise that I sense in the people around me? How do children in schools handle noise when they, too, need to concentrate to learn? What about babies? How do they perceive the sounds around them, before and after they're born? And back to my son's comments, am I really the only one who's bothered by noise?
My findings were a loud, resounding NO!
Noise or White Noise?
There is a breeze rustling in a tree, whispering its song to the leaves. Water gently laps in waves by the sea shore, serpents its way, singing in a meadow brook, or roars in torrents down a river. That is white noise, and distinctive from noise in that it's a sound signal or sonic frequency whose monotony has a calming effect on people of all ages. This explains why so many lullabies, massage and meditation tunes simulate the gentle, continuous sounds of white noise. Babies, especially crying babies with colic, find music with white noise soothing and relaxing. Research has shown that a steady stream of the same peaceful sound can filter and mask distracting noises.

When one was not born into wealth, one has to make a foundation, to build wealth on, or one will continue the cycle of poverty. Parents should instill in their children, from birth, the importance of valuing whatever money they obtain. It's easy to spend the money but it's difficult to earn it.
Spend a little, and save the most.
Again I do not have money issues and since I dont live that life hard to tell someone that does.
The battle some people have to save money is similar to the battle some have with losing weight. Everyone has their own ways that they trick themselves into thinking they're not sacrificing, or making it so organized it's a hassle to stick with. The only trick you need to know is simple. To lose weight, burn more calories than you consume. To save money, spend less than you make. Too many people have that backwards.
I dont like the idea they gave about freezing your credit cards and using a debit card... I find more people get in trouble with a debit card than a credit card... Because they use their debit for something and don't write it down and the next day look to see how much is in their account -and that previous transaction hasn't gone through- and see they have x amount and spend x amount and then find out they just went into the red...
I saw use cash. I use checks for all my bills(food/electricity/cable/etc...)... only thing I use credit cards for is gas, online purchases, or in emergencies... Otherwise I always keep at least $10 on me... Plus I write all my charges down I make on my credit card, plus of course all my checks I write down... And once a week I verify my checkbook is balanced with what I have in my account...
But that's me...

While the season finale of The Ultimate Fighter 18 takes place on Saturday night with a number of fighters from the cast stepping inside of the octagon for their first official UFC bouts, there is one familiar face for TUF 18 fans that will be fighting on Friday night.
Marina Shafir, who is a good friend of UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and a fellow TUF 18 coach, is set to headline the latest event for Tuff-N-Uff: The Future Stars of Mixed Martial Arts.
Shafir, 3-0, will be taking on Tabitha Patterson in the main event.
The event takes place in the Mardis Gras Ballroom at Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, with the card beginning at 10 p.m. ET. That gives Rousey enough time to be with her fighters at the TUF 18 weigh-ins before heading to the Orleans Hotel & Casino to corner Shafir.
Tuff-N-Uff is an amateur promotion, but we could soon see Shafir making the jumps to the pros if she is able to pull off another impressive submission victory.
The event is available as an online pay-per-view for $9.99. You can visit the Tuff-N-Uff website for more information.
Here is the full fight card for tonight's event, which is headlined by Shafir and Patterson:
- Tabitha Patterson vs. Marina Shafir
- Shannon Reid vs. Jessica Zomick
- Kyra Batara vs. Cheyanne Vlismas
- Jim Elmer vs. Mike Florio
- Victor Mabin vs. Ralph Pacheco
- Oscar Sanchez vs. Deangelo Yates
- Junior Gomez vs. David Guerrero
- Joe Burgess vs. Sean Francis
- Darnell Bumpus vs. Joseph King
- Jeff Smith vs. Sean Spangler
- Steve Mackowski vs. Andre Narcesse
- Sebastian Buckley vs. Fabio Hernandez

Before & After: AB Chao's All Grown Up Bedroom
While her daughter was away at camp, AB Chao got to work transforming her daughter's little girl room into a big girl room fit for someone all grown up and ready for high school. We're a bit jealous as it's a nicer bedroom than most of the bedrooms we've had as adults. Check out the impressive after pictures under the jump:
Using her great eye and some help from Ikea, Crate and Barrel, thrift stores and her sewing machine, the bedroom looks chic and modern and a lot of fun. We love the layered rugs on the floor, the dramatic bed and the pops of yellow and orange throughout. As one commenter put it, This makes us want to redo every room in the house. See more photos on hashai. Check out AB Chao's House Tour here and some of the other posts on her inspiring spaces.

The space alone is gorgeous! I think it's bigger than my 1 bedroom apartment.
In a word: lovely.
Lucky girl! I especially dig the shades.
dang, I'd take the before OR after any day. lucky 14 year old.
well done! enjoy. this is the last time your daughter will let YOU redo her room. take it from a mom who knows. (smile)
wow! What a lucky girl!
i prefer the "before" - it's sort of understated and elegant (minus the strewn clothing everywhere, but that's life intervening). the "after" looks a bit contrived, as though Cute Adolescence Pictured by a Mother were recreated for a sitcom set.
Stuff strewn about not withstanding, the before is nice, but blah in comparison to the after, much better the white seems better, the pops of color help to bring some life to what was before, a blah room.
I have a feeling this lucky girl may find herself keeping things a bit more tidier than before, thanks to storage etc.
I find that if the room becons you and you love it, you'll find a way to try and keep it reasonably tidy as much as possible.
I also prefer the before, the cutesy and white-washed cleaned-up look of the after, is a little too magazine perfect....
The before pictures had so much character, especially with the books strewn about.
Love. This is so inspirational. :)

Groove Weasel to play reunion show Saturday, Oct. 23
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
While it's been more than a year since members of Groove Weasel began talking about a reunion show, the date is set for Saturday, Oct. 23, at Kyrptonite.
Fans on the scene in the early '90s remember Groove Weasel for its offbeat songs and borderline slapstick stage antics, which, at times, took shape as musical stand-up comedy. The band also won four Rockford Area Music Industry (RAMI) awards in its eight-year run.
Groove Weasel began in 1992 when brothers Rick and Dave Heffner joined Jim Koomar to form a power-pop outfit suitable for any stage. Before disbanding in 2000, a few lineup changes kept the band going and moving into several musical directions, including writing and recording impromptu originals that became part of a "never know what you're gonna experience" live show. "She Likes My Car," "Just Kill Me" and "Lying," along with the ruffles of vintage tuxedos, daunt of an occasional makeshift drag persona and driving melodies, shaped opening sets for the Elvis Brothers, Edwin McCain and a host of regional acts. Getting back together for a one-time event seemed the only way to properly close a poignant chapter in musical history.
"It's been roughly 15 years since Jim and the two (Heffner) brothers rocked the stage together," drummer Rick Heffner said.
As procrastination lost out to a strong need to brush the dust off vintage Groove Weasel material, a reunion was born, one perhaps the Beatles or Led Zepplin couldn't have orchestrated more perfectly. As the itch intensified, technological fail-safes were put into place just in case the cobwebs were a bit too thick to battle through.
"It has taken roughly over a year to put together, mainly because we're lazy," Heffner added. "We intended on lip syncing just a few songs so everyone gets their money's worth, but, all kidding aside, we did have a few rehearsals."
The show will include a set by founding members while players who had stints with the band and several special guests will help close the show. Guitarists Rich Gocken, Tim Lemke, Mark Hoffman and Al Altamore, who was with Groove Weasel for five years, will take the stage for the second set.
Show starts at 8:30 p.m., with a set by the Vince Chiarelli Band. Kyrptonite Music Lounge is at 308 W. State St. Cover information can be obtained by calling the club at (815) 965-0931, or visiting kryptonitebar.com.

The research into the Ariadne system- and its coordination language HOPLa- aims to provide generic support for hybrid collaborative processes. These are complex information processing tasks involving coordinated contributions from multiple people and tools. Ariadne should applicable for a broad spectrum of these processes and actively support people in working in these processes and in defining and managing. A key design issue is flexibility. It should be easy for users to model and perform new (kinds of) processes even if this happens during the work on the process itself. Processes in Ariadne combine a shared workspace with the ability to define tasks and to coordinate their execution. The workspace uses a tree-like data model and can hold arbitrarily structured data. It is self-descriptive which means that it not only holds actual data but also the constraints (i.e. type definitions) that govern its structure. The definition of the way of working in a process can be blended into the workspace. Nodes in the workspace can be marked as tasks to be performed. Aditional coordination operators and constraints e.g. on time or performer of a task can be attached. Ariadne keeps track of the execution state of each process and uses this for support. When tasks are to be performed, actors are notified and results of the work are stored again in the workspace. The execution state of the process is stored in the workspace too, so that processes are self-contained.
