New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is a state of Australia, located in the east of the country. It is bordered by Queensland, Victoria and South Australia to the north, south and west respectively. To the east, the state is bordered by the Tasman Sea, which forms part of the Pacific Ocean.
New South Wales encompasses the whole of the Australian Capital Territory. The state capital is Sydney, which is also the state's most populous city. As of June 2010[update], the estimated population was 7,238,819, which was 34.5% of the population of Australia, making it Australia's most populous state. Inhabitants of New South Wales are referred to as New South Welshmen.
The colony of New South Wales was founded in 1788 and originally comprised much of the Australian mainland, as well as Van Diemen's Land, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island, in addition to the area currently referred to as the state of New South Wales, which was formed during Federation in 1901. When Britain annexed New Zealand in 1840, it briefly became a part of New South Wales. During the 19th century, large areas were successively separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania (established as a separate colony named Van Diemen's Land in 1825), South Australia (1836), Victoria (1851) and Queensland (1859).

Do you ever have to explain something to somebody that you know so intuitively but haven't the words to convey what you know? Unless, of course, they know what you know, then the question would never arise.
So I did a bit of writing on the difference between Gregg Williams' (GW) and Steve Spagnuolo's (SS) defensive schemes in order to explain it. Writing always helps distill your thoughts into easily followed, (We hope!) logical constructs. So, here is my primer.
GW's schemes were heavily blitz based requiring more defenders to rush at the QB. With so many players thus engaged, the remaining defensive players had too much field to cover to play a zone defense.
This dynamic resulted in the defensive backs having to play man-on-man coverage in order to defend the pass or run. The law of averages dictates that eventually you will be beat on man-to-man coverage because the other team's players are good too– even if you beat them out most of the time.
To counter the QB rush, teams provide maximum protection for the QB and get the ball out quicker to nullify the blitz. To counter the man-to-man coverage, other teams would identify the man-on-man matchups and use the skill sets of their players to tip the matchup in their favor.
A man-to-man scheme requires players to beat other players. Whereas, in a zone scheme, the scheme is used to beat the other team.

Edited by Harvey Max Chochinov, M.D., Ph.D., and William Breitbart, M.D. New York, Oxford University Press, 2000, 435 pp., $79.50.
The flyleaf of this book, authored by many well-credentialed people, states that it complements the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine(1). It has two forewords and one preface. There are 43 contributors and 28 chapters. The majority of the authors are from the United States; most of the remainder are from Canada, with a couple from the U.K. and one from Israel. A little more than half of the authors are medical doctors; the rest are psychologists, nurses, and social workers. This is a serious book.
Repetition is inevitable in such a lengthy, authoritative textbook about a highly specialized activity, but the repeated points are important ones. Thus, those of us who read it from cover to cover will benefit from the retelling.
Part 1 has seven chapters grouped under the heading Psychiatric Complications of Terminal Illness. Chapter 3, "Diagnosis and Management of Depression in Palliative Care," is comprehensive without presenting new material. Chapter 6, "Delirium in the Terminally Ill," is tight and punchy and mentions sedation with the anesthetic propofol.
Part 2 has four chapters grouped under the heading Symptom Management. Chapter 8, "Physical Symptom Management in the Terminally Ill: An Overview for Mental Health Professionals," includes pain of course, as does chapter 9, "Psychiatric Aspects of Pain Management in Patients With Advanced Cancer and AIDS." This is a weakness of the book, perpetuation of the brain-mind division. Naturally, these chapters deal with many of the same subjects. Pleasingly, both give permission to use stimulants. In chapter 11 there is consideration of "the mechanism by which psychological distress is transduced into fatigue." Again, the supposed brain-mind division emerges and, in this instance, quite misleadingly. In a revision the authors might consider the term "organism distress." The authors helpfully inform us that when stimulants are used, the rate of discontinuation due to side effects is less than 10%. If I were to be stranded on a desert island and could only take one chapter of this book, I would pick chapter 8.
Part 3 has five chapters on Psychotherapeutic Intervention and Palliative Care. Chapter 13, "Existential Psychotherapy in Palliative Care," is esoteric, reminding us that Nietzsche advised separating from our own thoughts. It is doubtful that most dying people are in a position to pursue this advice. Chapter 14 summarizes the supportive relationship for dying patients. In chapter 15, cognitive behavior therapy lays claim to relaxation training, hypnosis, and other techniques that antedate the main body of cognitive behavior therapy by 50 years.
Part 4 has two chapters on Pediatric Palliative Care. Despite my claim to have read every page in the book, I skim-read these; such is my personal difficulty with this area.
Part 5, Family and Staff Issues, has four chapters and involves much repetition. Chapter 21, "Burnout and Symptoms of Stress in Staff Working in Palliative Care," does not provide an adequate definition of the term "burnout," whose time appears to have passed. It gives a picture of a trunk and branch system of a tree, designating it "A Visual Model of Hospice Nursing," and a picture of a plant root system, designated "The Root of Hospice Caregiving."
In part 6, Ethical and Spiritual Issues, which has four chapters, chapter 24, "Addressing the Needs of the Patient Who Requests Physician-Assisted Suicide or Euthanasia," is a useful piece of work that makes no pretense at having found the answers. This chapter is quite similar to chapter 4 in part 1, "Suicide, Assisted Suicide, and Euthanasia in the Terminally Ill."
Part 7 has two chapters on Research Issues and is weak. Chapter 27 states that "audit of the psychiatric aspects of palliative care is underdeveloped" and recommends remedial action. Chapter 28 is a mere five pages long (including references). It acknowledges the lack of research in the field but is optimistic about the opportunities for research in the future.
This is a valuable reference book for the libraries of universities, hospitals, and workers in this highly focused field. It does not set out to be an easy-to-read introduction for the general psychiatrist and does not accidentally achieve that end.

'No need to tell us he's [Sirius's] no good. Look at the state of him, the filthy layabout! Look at his hair!' — Uncle Vernon
'Scary-lookin' fing, inee?' — Stan on Sirius
'They say Sirius Black's mad, and maybe he is, but he was clever enough to escape from Azkaban, and that's supposed to be impossible.' — Mr Weasley
"The stranger was wearing an extremely shabby set of wizard's robes which had been darned in several places. He looked ill and exhausted. Though he seemed quite young, his light-brown hair was flecked with grey." — About Remus
"And then, from far away, [Harry] heard screaming, terrible, terrified, pleading screams. He wanted to help whoever it was, he tried to move his arms, but couldn't …"
'Eat. It'll help.' — Remus, handing Harry some chocolate.
'The very first time I saw you Harry, I recognised you immediately. Not by your scar, by your eyes. They're your mother, Lily's. Yes, I knew her. Your mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn't see it in themselves. Your father, James, however, had a certain, shall we say, talent for trouble. A talent, rumour has it, he passed onto you. You're more like them then you know, Harry. In time you'll come to see just how much.' — Remus (film)
'That suggests that what you fear most of all is — fear.' — Remus to Harry
'He's the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher we've ever had!' — Dean Thomas about Remus
"'Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!'
'Stand aside, you silly girl … stand aside, now …'
'Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead -'
Numbing, swirling white mist was filling Harry's brain … What was he doing? Why was he flying? He needed to help her … she was going to die … she was going to be murdered …
He was falling, falling through the icy mist.
'Not Harry! Please … have mercy … have mercy …'"
— Harry hearing his mother's last moments through Dementors
'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.'
"Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs
Purveyors of Aids of Magical Mischief-Makers are proud to present
George: 'Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs. We owe them so much.' Fred: 'Noble men, working tirelessly to help a new generation of lawbreakers.'
'Do you know, I still have trouble believing it. Of all the people to go to the dark side, Sirius Black was the last I'd have thought …' — Madam Rosmerta
'Never saw one without the other, did you? The number of times I had them in here — ooh, they used to make me laugh. Quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter!' — Rosmerta
'Black and Potter. Ringleaders of their little gang. Both very bright, of course — exceptionally bright, in fact — but I don't think we've ever had such a pair of trouble makers —' — McGonagall
Professor Flitwick: 'You'd have thought Black and Potter were brothers. Inseparable!' Fudge: 'Of course they were. Potter trusted Black beyond all his other friends. Nothing changed when they left school. Black was best man when James married Lily. Then they named him Godfather to Harry.'
'James Potter told Dumbledore that Black would die rather than tell where they were, that Black was planning to go into hiding himself …' — McGonagall
'… An' Sirius Black turns up, on that flyin' motorbike he used ter ride. […] Thought he'd jus' heard the news o' You-Know-Who's attack an' come ter see what he could do. White an' shakin' he was.' — Hagrid
'An' then he says, "Give Harry ter me, Hagrid, I'm his godfather, I'll look after him —' — Hagrid
'Pettigrew … that fat little boy who was always tagging around after them at Hogwarts?' — Rosmerta
'Hero-worshipped Black and Potter. Never quite in their league, talent-wise.' — McGonagall
'Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off —'
Harry: 'I heard my dad. That's the first time I've ever heard him - he tried to take on Voldemort himself, to give my mum time to run for it …' Remus: 'You heard James?' Harry: 'Yeah … Why — you didn't know my dad, did you?' Remus: 'I — I did, as a matter of fact. We were friends at Hogwarts …'
'That was quite some Patronus,' said a voice in Harry's ear. // Harry turned around to see Professor Lupin, who looked both shaken and pleased. // 'The Dementors didn't affect me at all!' Harry said excitedly.
Snape: 'Your father didn't set much store by rules either. Rules were for lesser mortals, not Quidditch Cup-winners. His head was so swollen —' Harry: 'SHUT UP!'
'Mr Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business.' // 'Mr Prongs agrees with Mr Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git.' // 'Mr Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor.' // 'Mr Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball.'
'These mapmakers would have wanted to lure you out of school. They'd think it extremely entertaining.' — Remus
'… I would have thought that what you have heard when the Dementors draw near you would have had more of an effect on you, your parents gave their lives to keep you alive, Harry.' — Remus
'I thought you'd come and help your friend. Your father would have done the same for me.' — Sirius
Remus: 'Looking a bit ragged, aren't we, Sirius? Finally the skin reflects the madness within.' Sirius: 'You'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you, Remus?' (Film)
'I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban! Trust me, you wouldn't have lasted a week!' — Sirius (film)
Snape: 'I told Dumbledore you were helping your old friend into the castle. And here's the proof.' Sirius: 'Brilliant! And – as usual – dead wrong.' (film)
Sirius: 'The Map never lies. Pettigrew's alive. And he's right there.' *Points at Ron.* Ron: 'M-me? It's lunatic …' Sirius: 'Not you, you idiot. Your rat.' (film)
'I was a very small boy when I received the bite. My parents tried everything, but in those days there was no cure.' — Remus
'The truth is that [the Whomping Willow] was planted because I had come to Hogwarts.' — Remus
'For the first time ever, I had friends, three great friends. Sirius Black … Peter Pettigrew … and, of course, your father, Harry – James Potter. […] I was terrified that they would desert me the moment they found out what I was. But, of course, they, like you, Hermione, worked out the truth … And they didn't desert me at all. Instead they did something for me that would make my transformations not only bearable, but the best times of my life. They became Animagi.' — Remus
'Your father and Sirius here were the cleverest students in the school […] Peter needed all the help he could get from James and Sirius. Finally, in our fifth year, they managed it.' — Remus
"'Harry … I as good as killed them,' [Sirius] croaked. 'I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret-Keeper instead of me … I'm to blame, I know it […] I was scared. I set out for your parents' house straight away. And when I saw their house, destroyed, and their bodies – I realised what Peter must have done. What I'd done.' // His voice broke. He turned away."
"He was a very short man, hardly taller than Harry and Hermione. His thin, colourless hair was unkempt and there was a large bald patch on top. He had the shrunken appearance of a plump man who had lost a lot of weight in a short time. His skin looked grubby, almost like Scabbers's fur, and some of the rat lingered around his pointed nose, his very small, watery eyes." — About Peter Pettigrew
'I, a spy for Voldemort? When did I ever sneak around people who were stronger and more powerful than myself? But you, Peter – I'll never understand why I didn't see you were the spy from the start. You always liked big friends who'd look after you, didn't you? It used to be us … me and Remus … and James …' — Sirius
'Believe me. I never betrayed James and Lily. I would have died before I betrayed them.' — Sirius
'James wouldn't have wanted me killed … James would have understood, Harry … he would have shown me mercy …' — Peter
'THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED! DIED RATHER THAN BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS, AS WE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR YOU!' — Sirius
'This cringing but of filth would have seen you die, too, without turning a hair. You heard him. His own stinking skin meant more to him than your whole family.' — Sirius on Peter
'Beautiful, isn't it? I'll never forget the first time I walked through those doors. It'll be nice to do it again. Freely.' — Sirius looking at Hogwarts
"There was a terrible snarling noise. Lupin's head was lengthening. So was his body. His shoulders were hunching. Hair was sprouting visibly on his face and hands, which were curling into clawed paws." — Remus's transformation
'You are – truly your father's son, Harry …' — Sirius
'It's cruel that I got to spend so much time with James and Lily, and you so little. But know this; the ones that love us never really leave us. And you can always find them in here.' — Sirius (film)
Harry: 'You told me Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs would've wanted to lure me out of the school … you said they'd have thought it was funny.' Remus: 'And so we would have. I have no hesitation in saying that James would have been highly disappointed if his son had never found any of the secret passages out of the castle.'
'You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night.' — Dumbledore

City fund balance grows but still below state average
SALISBURY Salisburys available fund balance a measure of a citys financial health grew by $2.1 million last year but still falls below the state average, auditor Matthew Braswell said.
The citys available fund balance jumped 53 percent, up to $5.9 million from $3.8 million. It was the largest increase Braswell said he saw among the 16 communities he audits.
The available fund balance is now 18 percent of total general fund expenditures, up from 11 percent the prior year. But the state average is 50 percent.
The citys balance is still significantly below state average, said Braswell, of Martin Starnes and Associates CPA.
Salisburys total fund balance has reached $10.6 million, the highest level in recent years, he said.
Braswell gave an unqualified, clean opinion in his audit and cited no material weaknesses in the citys internal controls. He singled out Assistant City Manager John Sofley, Budget Manager Teresa Harris and Finance Manager Wade Furches for praise.
You have one of the top finance departments in the state, Braswell said.
Other highlights:
Among the three enterprise funds, Salisbury-Rowan Utilities had net income of $2.2 million. Transportation had net income of $200,000.
Fibrant broke even, but only because of a $3.4 million internal loan from the water-sewer capital reserve fund.
Fibrant, the citys new broadband utility, continues to operate at a deficit, which Braswell said he expected because the enterprise fund is young and still gaining customers.
Fibrants net assets fell by $4 million, including the internal loan, depreciation and bond amortization.
General fund revenues increased by four percent and expenditures fell by six percent, meaning the city spent less than it collected. Thats a turnaround from two years ago, when the city spent more than it generated in revenue.
Revenues totaled about $35 million, made up of property tax (50 percent), sales tax (15 percent), charges for services (18 percent) and other sources (17 percent).
Property tax has stayed the about the same for three years. Sales tax grew by five percent from 2010 to 2011 and by 11 percent last year.
That signals that there is a strong local economy, and we have seen this across the state, Braswell said.
Expenses are made up of general government (29 percent), public safety (36 percent), public transportation (12 percent) and other expenses (23 percent).
The citys long-term debt decreased by $1.4 million or 1.6 percent.
Overall, the citys financial position improved in the past fiscal year, Braswell said.
Staff implemented new policies and procedures, including fiscal notes for large purchases and quarterly meetings between each department and the financial team to review expenditures.
The city also now determines the return on investment of construction projects before moving forward.
It was a very good year financially, Braswell said.
He recommended City Council set a goal for available fund balance and work toward it.
Councilman William Pete Kennedy cautioned the city against raising taxes to pad the citys savings account and questioned the need for a 50 percent available fund balance.
Council members agreed to consider the issue during their strategic planning retreat in February.
City Manager Doug Paris praised his staff for cutting $1.6 million in costs last year.
Paris presented each council member with a masonry trowel to symbolize rebuilding the citys financial foundation.
You will be the City Council that turns this citys financial ship, he said.

Ugh what the fuuuuuuck.
Came home and there's a note on my door: "Tenants, we are giving you 24 hours notice of an inspection."
All of my complaints about residence are officially null and void.
When they're showing the place to new people for next year, am I allowed to tell them to just turn around and run? Or is that slander? Because I feel like people should be warned.

STILL FLY: Happy 29th BIRTHDAY Amber Rose!
Mother-to-be Amber Rose turns 29-years-old today. Celebrate inside.....
Amber Rose has come a long way from just being the bald-headed chick on Kanye West's arm (and she coincidentally shares a birthday with 'Ye's new chick Kim K.). She's grown her hair out a little, come from behind the sunglasses and become a model for Louis Vuitton, FORD Models & a spokeswoman for Smirnoff. Not bad for a chick who started out hitting the pole in Philly.
Now she's expecting a baby with fiance Wiz Khalifa and seems to have taken full control of her life. And we can already imagine her being the cool mom with the semi-bald head at the playground.
Celebrate some of Amber's looks in the gallery......
I just adore her HBD baby

10-year-old boy leaves mom the sweetest note EVER (PHOTO)
Sometimes, all parents need is a little sign of appreciation. In the cutest news I've heard all week, a 10-year-old boy decided to give his mom just that by leaving her the incredibly adorable present and note seen here.
After noticing all of his mother's efforts, the boy paid her back by leaving a glass of what looks like a fruit smoothie in his kitchen, with a short letter tucked underneath. "Dear Mom," he wrote. "This is for you, I understand how hard you work, and I know you love strawberry milk, so I made this for you. :)" AWWW! Doesn't that make your heart melt?!
Read more ¿Qué más?: Kids write the darndest things! (PHOTOS)
Word of his super sweet gift quickly spread over the Internet after his sibling posted a picture of it on Redditt, with the caption, "My 10 year old brother left this in the fridge for my mom to come home to after work...he's a sweetheart." And though some naysayers were quick to question the legitimacy of the note, citing the near-perfect, penmanship, most (including myself!) were filled with praise of the lovely and considerate gesture.

I only hope that if I ever have a son, he's as sweet as this one seems to be! After all, it's these endearing moments that make up for all the times your children are bound to drive you crazy. And if the strawberry milk tastes a little questionable…well, it's the thought that counts!

So West (USA, Europe) dump SNC, moves to back Gen. Tlass (that good-looking, cigar smoking Sunni guy). He is supposedly secular (non-religious, not Islamist) - Sunni (majority), and have connections and can handle military/security issue. But rebels might not support him, or rather just strongly reject him as replacement for Assad.
The Wall Street Jounal reported today that confidence in the opposition Syrian National Council is fading. The Journal said that the U.S. and some Arab and other Western nations are seeking ways to place Brig. Gen. Manaf Tlass, Syria's highest ranking military defector and — until now — the centerpiece of transition plans.
For Brussels in particular, this marks a significant shift.
Aljazeera's tools, the MB (SNC) challenged by Alarabiyah's (Tlass & other fmr strongmen). Qatar vs Saudi, prize=Syria. cc@SultanAlQassemi
Not sure Qatar is backing Syrian Brotherhood and Saudi is backing Gen. Tlass -?
Tlass is supposedly secular - as Prof Joshua Landis puts
Much of Syria's middle and upper classes have not been heard from yet. many of them may find someone like Manaf Tlass appealing – perhaps not someone so close to the regime, but someone who had a hand in the regime, is secular, has money, has experience with the army, etc.

Event Details
Biodiversity Data Capture Training Course in Ghana
Biodiversity data are the focus of large-scale efforts to convert analog data (i.e., specimen labels) into useful, digital data that can be used in a wide diversity of analyses to provide very important insights. This course will provide an overview of and introduction to current approaches to biodiversity data capture, with an eye to maximizing efficiency and simultaneously minimizing error rates. The focus is on capture of data for archival purposes (e.g., the plants of Angola, the vertebrates of Ethiopia, etc.), rather than for individual research projects where the data will not be used by others afterward. The course will include conceptual overviews, detailed instructions for implementation, and as much hands-on exploration as possible.
Around 30 people. All researchers, students, technicians, planners, managers, and other interested persons from across Africa are welcome to apply.
Application materials and any questions regarding the application process may be addressed to the course organizers (Town Peterson is the project director) at email@example.com.

The new academy is hoping to open with 101 sixth-grade male students in the fall and will be housed at the Roosevelt Full Service Center, at 1601 N. Tamarind Ave. in West Palm Beach.
The leadership academy will have a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) focus and Afro-centric curriculum. The leadership academy is the district's largest foray yet into single-gender learning.

Bill called "assault" on teachers passes Senate
- 11:08 am Thursday, March 25th, 2010 by Post Staff
From The Post's Dara Kam in Tallahassee:
TALLAHASSEE — Teachers salaries and job security would rest on how well their students perform on tests yet to be developed, under sweeping education reforms approved by the Florida Senate on Wednesday.
The measure, passed after a heated partisan debate, would replace teacher tenure with merit pay. Democrats objected and Republicans' defended the bill while the teachers union called it an "all-out assault" on educators.
Sen. Joe Negron, a Stuart Republican whose father and grandmother were teachers, accused the teachers union of fear-mongering.

From our colleague, Dara Kam, in Tallahassee:
The Senate passed a measure that would have a far-reaching impact on teachers' salaries and job security after a heated debate by Democratic opponents and an angry defense of the bill by Republicans.
Four Republicans – Sens. Charlie Dean of Inverness, Paula Dockery of Lakeland, Dennis Jones of Seminole and Alex Villalobos of Miami – joined Democrats on the losing side of the 21-17 vote.
Sen. Joe Negron, whose father and grandmother were teachers, accused the teachers' union of fear-mongering about what the bill does to gin up opposition to the proposal.

Virtual Reality. Augmented Reality. They're rather popular words in the tech world these days.
Actually, they've been pretty popular for awhile. It's just that the technology hasn't always been on par with the big ideas behind making such things, well, real. But recently, that struggle has kind of been turned on its head. The technology is growing by leaps and bounds. But the ideas – the really good ideas – are not coming as fast as most of us would like. Sure, there's lots of okay ideas out there with lots of buzz, but not all of them pan out or are practically implemented. We've seen Google Glass work toward using the tech to enhance the world socially. The Oculus Rift is amazing at dropping you into an immersive virtual gaming world. And there are others out there, coming from companies both big and small, filling out a variety of cultural niches and trying to find the killer app that will make their device the one to own before anyone else's.
So when we sat down with Epson and they showed us the Moverio BT-100, we wondered what set them apart from the other devices and their manufacturers. For a company that's primarily known for creating and selling printers, scanners, and projectors, what were their plans for setting themselves apart in the virtual/augmented reality glasses market? Their answer, surprisingly, was that their glasses, as they are now, might not be for everybody. Yet. Who uses it and how they use it all comes down to developers using the dev kits to create something revolutionary.
Where Google attempts to connect people with each other and the world around them with a constantly streaming overlay of information in the corner of their eyeline and Oculus VR wants to add a new dimension to gaming, Epson is seeking to make a name for themselves in the commercial tech world. While the Moverio BT-100 does have Android installed and will let you play Angry Birds and watch Netflix movies whenever you want, it has more practical aspirations at the moment. Eric Mizufuka, Product Manager, New Markets at Epson, explained it to us like this…
"People always ask us 'how do you compare to Oculus or Google Glass?' We don't see ourselves as competing directly. We see the displays splitting out into binocular and monocular on one axis and transparent and non-transparent along the other axis. The Moverio is unique in that if falls into the transparent and binocular quadrant. Some of our advantages in that quadrant is the ability to render 3D objects, because our image is centered in your field of view, not off to the side or the corner of your vision, like the other transparent glasses. Google Glass is in the top right. Recon is in the bottom right. We're directly in the center. This allows us to do true augmented reality."
"In the monocular area, we see them targeting consumers with an always on, unobtrusive type of usage. For Oculus, which falls in to binocular and non-transparent, it's all about gaming. And at least in the very near term, where we see the killer app coming from for Moverio, is from the commercial markets: logistics, medical, service, and support."
In the demo video below, Eric, along with Scott Montgomerie from Scope Technologies in the first segment, shows us the practical applications for their technology. Whether it comes to training new hires in an industrial setting on how to take apart and rebuild machinery or performing search and rescue operations after a disaster, allowing wearers to go from daylight environments and seeing clearly into dark indoor environments without hesitation, the Moverio BT-100 offers up a myriad of potential uses for those willing to take on the challenge of creating the next killer app.
When I tried the Moverio BT-100 on, it took a little getting used to, but once it was turned on, the picture and its functions performed smoothly. Of course, with any emerging piece of technology, we're looking at the early models with rough edges and 3D printed accessories cobbled together for demonstration purposes, but the proof of concept is there. I (and they) expect the size, style, format, and functionality of the glasses to change considerably as time goes on. Compared to where they're headed, we're in the flip phone era of this technology… and it already looks amazing! I can already see search and rescue, medical, or industrial factory workers putting these on as a part of their daily jobs as the technology is fine tuned in both the hardware and the software that runs it.
You can learn more about the Moverio BT-100 on their official site and if you've got a killer app in mind, you can get one for yourself to begin development immediately.

It's nearing 1 a.m. The lights are dim in the bar and the opening riffs of Queen's "We are the Champions" blare from the stereo. Suddenly, it seems like everyone in the bar is singing, "We are the champions, my friends, and we'll keep on fighting, till the end …"
"I was out on a night out and I saw [several] groups sort of huddled together belting out songs at the top of their lungs. And I was blown away by the all enthusiasm and vigor," says Alisun Pawley, a musicologist and lecturer at Kendal College in England.
"It had a tribal quality. What is it about this song?"

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
West Ranch has excellent academic opportunities. I have met many teachers here over the years and every one of them has been positive, enthusiastic and passionate about their subject. It also has programs that are not available in other area high schools as well as a huge selection of clubs. You will also find the parents in this area care about their kids education which makes a big difference. We are very lucky to be part of an outstanding school.
Apparently the school took parents comments seriously and replaced rude staff! (That was two years ago). I found them to be very accommodating and helpful and get things done. Counselors do a great job returning calls right away- atleast with us.
I believe school does well on test scores because the community and parents care about the child's education and this school seems to have alot of foreign born kids who bring their hard work ethics to the school and where education is important. I also disagree with previous comments that staff are rude as I experienced polite and nice staff. I did encounter a rude principal outside of school though. He acted like he was the king because he was the principal. I don't think he realized that he doesn't pay us but we pay him his salary and shouldnt act so noble and arrogant. But then when I see him on campus he seems different. He reminds me of a man with two faces. I do know he appears to be politcially conservative and disagree with a lot of his comments he has made in private to some of us parents.
this is a great school however i must agree with the majority of the complaints and say this office staff is horrid, the principals assistant is arrogant as they come. Doesn't even care to look people in the eyes. maybe that why its best to employee people of this country. grow up and realize that you are here to work for our children and to accommodate us as parents. Many of us get the feeling this foreigner in particular thinks she does us a favor
Spotless campus! If you have an opportunity to send your child here, do NOT hesitate!
Academically, I've been extremely pleased with the level of education my child has received at this school. Excellent school, great teachers. I agree with other reviews that the office staff's attitude could use some improvement. Overall very pleased with West Ranch and consider ourselves fortunate to attend.
We have been at this school for 3 years and are thrilled! My child has been thoroughly challenged academically, the principal is a man of character who leads the school with a real emphasis on achievement in every sense of the word and the teachers are effective, available and interested. We are so fortunate to get a private school education at a public school!
Very much agree that staff is rude. Had an awful experience with registrar there. They need to replace staff. I hope they change out as this will give the school overall a better reputation as students are hardworking. Most teachers are decent too. I am wondering if I am making a good choice of letting my child go to this school with rude office personnel. I hope it doesnt' trickle down to the culture of the school as a whole.
I also agree that the office staff are very rude and a bit on the lazy side. I asked an principal's assitant if she addressed an issues and her response was " i don't go to that side of the campus and that's not my job." I guess if it's not your job you don't have to do it? Go figure. and I noticed a lack of pride on the campus with the principals assistants .The campus is litter with trash.
We were also disappointed in this school. The office staff is very rude and that should have been a wake up call to us when we first registered there.
We have been very disappointed in this high school. Teacher quality has been very lacking. Teachers have not been knowledgeable in their fields or in their methods of instruction. Communication with teachers is difficult. Counseling was lacking. Office staff is generally speaking, rude.
Excellent Public High School!! Spent too much on private education had we known better before!
WRHS is an excellent school with very high API scores. You even have Chaminade teachers referring Chaminade students here for summer school because of our excellent teachers (I personally know this as a fact). WRHS is WACS accredited and has very good teachers. I am happy I switched my teenagers from Chaminade H.S. to WRHS because I feel our teachers are better qualified than some of theirs. The Prinicipal Mr. Vincent is a strong leader and I think he cares a lot about the students. The learning program is what you as a parent and your children decide to do with their education - Their counselors are great and make sure your teenagers take the correct classes to attend a 4-yr university; they listen to what the parents expect for their teenagers education.
Could not be more happier than I am with West Ranch. One son is a Jr. the other is a Freshmen. Both are doing exceptionally well in all aspects of school life. The teachers are great, especially the Health teacher Mrs. Sage, Spanish Mr. Helm. Very happy with there soccer program.
Excellent school. Their music program is one of the best onrd if not the best. This is a new school and their marching band became champions in 2007 within their division. Their academic program is one of the best in the Santa Clarita Valley. So glad we moved to the Santa Clarita Valley. Very safe community for our kids.
Great school! All staff were responsive to questions and concerns, and the school's academic achievements speak for themselves. Our daughter is proud to have gone there and be a part of the first graduating class, despite there being several established schools in the valley which she could have attended. If you have the chance to send your child to this school, DO NOT HESITATE!
Amazing school, great sports program, great band which I mention was first in state! and even better teachers! in a nice area, amazing campus spotless! Go here!
Amazing School, in a rich area with a fanatastic sports program, especially their track and field! I feel as a student this is the best place you could go to!
Great high school, in nice area. Academics and sports are very impressive consisdering that the school is only three years new.

I transformed three pairs of old jeans into three incredible pairs of denim shorts. I distressed them by cutting, fraying, and bleaching. One pair of black shorts is actually still sitting in bleach because I'm dip dying, I can't wait to see the final product. Each pair of shorts is unique and I can't wait to wear them!
I also cut an awful looking mid calf denim skirt into a super cute mini. Denim DIYs are the simplest and without a doubt the most fun. I'll be posting pictures of my DIY adventures, but I'd love to see what you've done! Submit photos here.
Can't wait to rock my new cutoffs.

Neal Bascomb: "The New Cool" (Rebroadcast)
Model building has fascinated teens for generations. But in the 21st century, tinkering with machines has reached a whole new level. This year thousands of American students – boys and girls -- will participate in the world's premiere robotics competition. High school seniors and their mentors from across the country take part in the unusual sport – one that celebrates brains rather than brawn. Ambitious teams design and build robots from scratch. Those who advance to the finals compete before 40,000 screaming fans. What their drive for success could mean for sparking innovation in American education -- and defining a new cool.

9. Linebacker Bruce Carter
Big things were expected of Carter this year. But his lackluster play and struggles in pass coverage earlier on this season resulted in him losing his starting role to journeyman linebacker Ernie Sims. Although he has now regained his starting status, Carter has not lived up to expectations as one of the fastest linebackers in football. His lack of growth is even made worse by the growing spotlight on middle linebacker Sean Lee this season. Both Lee and Carter were second round picks who dropped in their perspective drafts due to injury. But as Lee has excelled, Carter continues to look mediocre. Unless he blossoms soon, Carter could be out of Dallas sooner than later.

The Curriculum is excellent
Independent Schools Inspectorate Report
"The curriculum is excellent, covering all the required areas of learning. It is suitable for pupils of all ages, abilities and needs and supports the school's aim to encourage creativity, independence of thought and initiative, and to provide pupils with a body of knowledge of lasting value. The breadth of the curriculum enriches pupils' learning. Specialist language teaching challenges the linguistically able by providing the opportunity to study Spanish and some ancient Greek in addition to French and Latin, which are studied by all. Collective worship has an important place during curriculum time, and the presence of drama, art and music as both curricular and extra-curricular activities underlines the importance given to the creative arts. Information and communication technology (ICT) is embedded throughout the curriculum."
The children follow a broad based and stimulating curriculum that is delivered by specialist teachers who bring their own love of their subject into the classroom. The academic curriculum is based upon the National Curriculum in Year 3-6 and the Common Entrance Curriculum in Years 7-8. Throughout the school pupils are taught by specialist teachers for French, Art, Music, Drama, PE and Games. As pupils move up the school they see an increasing number of subject specialists.
All pupils in the Junior Forms study the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, French, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Art, Design Technology, ICT, Drama, Music, Physical Education, Games.
There are two classes in each of the Junior Forms year groups. In Year 3, the majority of the academic curriculum is taught by the Form Teacher with a gradual increase in the number of specialist teachers from Year 4. In Years 4 and 5, pupils are taught in their form classes for all subjects except for Mathematics where they are divided into two sets. Largely the same curriculum is followed in both sets however the pace of teaching will vary with faster more challenging work being set for the more able and the necessary support and reinforcement work being offered for pupils who need it. Pupils are set in Maths and Spelling in Years 3-5.
In Year 6 the pupils are divided into three form classes with a top form and two parallels. Pupils are taught in their form classes for all subjects except for Mathematics and sometimes French where they are set across the whole year group. Pupils in Year 6 no longer take the National Curriculum Tests for 11 year olds allowing more able pupils to make a start on the Common Entrance syllabus. Largely the same subjects are taught as in Junior Forms except that Drama may be replaced by Roman Civilisation or an extra lesson of ICT. All pupils take a course in Latin. Pupils in Year 6 also start using the laborotories for Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Pupils in Years 7 and 8 are taught in four form classes and are divided into a top form, two parallels and a lower form. All pupils follow the Common Entrance curriculum for: English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Spanish.
Pupils in the top and parallel forms study Latin from Year 7. Pupils in the lower form have an additional lesson of Mathematics, English and French per week instead.
Throughout the year the children are given the chance to take part in many different activities both in and out of school, which are designed to further enhance their educational development. Visits to the theatre, art galleries and museums as well as to places of historical and geographical interest take place for children of all ages each term. Pupils also enjoy regular visits by speakers and performers who bring their enthusiasms, passions, adventures, achievements and experiences into the classroom.
There are also educational competitions held across the curriculum for pupils of all ages, for instance we hold an annual Maths Day, a Poetry Competition, for all pupils in the school, as well as a Latin speaking competition for scholars.
The school day at Dean Close Prep School is busy and full and therefore pupils are not expected to spend hours working after school at home. Prep is set to provide reinforcement or consolidation work for topics covered in lessons. In Year 3 pupils are expected to read their reading book, learn their weekly spellings and Maths tables. Year 4 are expected to do much the same, with a piece of written work on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. This might be some written Maths or English work taking approximately fifteen minutes. In Year 5 pupils will be set one Maths, English and Science prep taking approximately twenty minutes each. Spelling, reading and the learning of Maths tables will be ongoing.
A prep timetable is issued to pupils from Years 6 - 8 at the start of the term and they are responsible for writing each prep into their prep diary. Years 6 - 8 attend a formal Prep time as part of the school day from 4.45 - 5.15 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. For Year 6 it is expected that the majority of their written work would be completed during this half hour session.
In addition to the school prep session, pupils in Years 7 and 8 are expected to do approximately half an hour of independent study at home. Taking account of sporting, music and other out of school commitments, pupils will often be given more than one night to complete their prep. The expectation is that preps will be completed on time and to the standard of written work undertaken in class. Prep should not be a burden for either pupils or parents and we aim to ensure there is smooth progression through Senior Prep to Year 9 in terms of expectation. A study/reading time has been planned into the timetable from 12.10 - 12.50 on a Wednesday where pupils work independently but supervised by their Form Tutor.
All pupils are assessed at regular intervals and parents are informed of progress. If any child is not making the necessary academic progress after an initial settling-in period a meeting is organised with parents as soon as possible to work out a route to resolving the situation. This may include the creation of an Individual Educational Plan that sets out specific milestones to be achieved in class.
The aim of the assessment system is to provide interim written feedback to pupils during the year about how they are progressing at school. In Years 5-8 each pupil receives a grade for attainment. These are based upon the pupils' position in a class or set. As well as the attainment grade each pupil is awarded a grade for effort. The Form Tutor talks through the assessment sheet with each pupil individually and discusses a suitable target or targets to achieve over the next half term.
All pupils take tests or exams twice a year - in the Michaelmas and Trinity Terms. This testing helps them to get used to working under exam conditions from an early age. Year 3-5 pupils complete summative tests, in their classrooms on the work covered that term, whilst the Year 6 and 7 pupils take more formal examinations in the School Hall, helping to prepare them for the exam conditions they can expect when they sit Common Entrance in Year 8.

Posts Tagged 'Posterior Interosseous Nerve'
Ahead of Print: Spontaneous Posterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy
Background: The surgical treatment of spontaneous posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy with hourglass-like fascicular constriction (HLFC) remains controversial.
Objective: To review 41 patients with complete spontaneous PIN palsy with HLFC to clarify the necessity and choice of surgery.
Methods: Interfascicular neurolysis (NY), neurorrhaphy and autografting were carried out on 10, 8 and 6 patients, respectively. The thinning extent of a nerve fasciculus <=0.25, 0.25-0.75 and >=0.75 was defined as mild, moderate and severe constriction, respectively. Final British Medical Research Council muscle power grade >=4 was defined as good recovery.
Ahead of Print: Spinal Nerve Origins of Radial Nerve Muscular Branches
Background: In injuries of the lower brachial plexus, finger flexion can be restored by nerve or tendon transfer. However, there is no technique that can guarantee good recovery of finger and thumb extension.
Objective: To determine the spinal nerve origins of the muscular branches of the radial nerve and identify potential intraplexus donor nerves for neurotization of the posterior interosseous nerve in patients with lower brachial plexus injuries.
Methods: An intraoperative electrophysiological study was carried out during 16 contralateral C7 nerve transfers. The CMAP (compound muscle action potential) of each muscle innervated by the radial nerve was recorded while the C5-T1 nerves were individually stimulated.

MC Humane Society gets grant to vaccine dogs for influenza
Marshall County Humane Society, Inc, Holly Springs, now has help in protecting dogs against canine influenza virus (CIV), a highly contagious disease that spreads easily from dog to dog, especially those in close proximity.
The shelter received a grant for the vaccines as part of a Petfinder.com Foundation program to build community immunity against this respiratory infection.
The foundation partnered with Intervet/ Schering-Plough Animal Health, a global animal health company and makers of the NOBIVAC(r) Canine Flu H3N8 vaccine, to fund the grant.
Because CIV is relatively new, most dogs have not built up an immunity to the disease. Dogs can get the disease by being exposed to those that have it, as well as playing with toys or drinking from bowls used by other dogs. People can also unwittingly spread the germ if they come in contact with infected dogs.
"Shelters and rescue organizations are often the first places that new diseases already in the community become evident. Dogs come in from the community and are released back into it, and often move to and from states with confirmed cases," said Liz Neuschatz, director of the Petfinder.com Foundation.
"Canine flu can be a real problem for shelters, where one sick dog can cause an outbreak through an entire facility. We are pleased to be part of this effort to help protect the community by providing canine flu vaccine to Marshall County Humane Society, Inc."
Dog flu is a growing problem throughout the U.S. It has been confirmed in 35 states so far, but tracking the disease is hard because it is so difficult to diagnose.
Dogs are contagious before they show any symptoms. By the time the dog starts coughing, it's too late. Virtually all dogs exposed to the virus will become infected, and some will get more serious infections, such as pneumonia, which can be fatal.
Dogs that go to doggie daycare, boarding facilities, groomers and shows and are vaccinated for canine cough (Bordetella) are also at risk for canine flu. Information about canine flu is available at www.doginfluenza.com.
The grant for Building Community Immunity seeks to protect all at-risk dogs in the community, including those in close proximity with other dogs, as is the case with shelters and rescue facilities.
It also provides greater assurance to adopting families that their new pets will be healthier and much less likely to be sick or get more serious, and sometimes fatal, infections. The grant further links Petfinder.com member shelter and rescue grant recipients with local veterinarians to protect all adoptable dogs in their care.
The program promotes veterinary visits for wellness exams and, when appropriate, the second dose administration of Nobivac Canine Flu vaccine.

New York, NY — The 18- to 25-year-olds just entering, or poised to enter, the workforce aren't likely to be satisfied with shared "hotel-style" desk assignments, drab cubicles or windowless spaces that have characterized offices in the past, according to new research that could strongly influence space and energy efficiency strategies in the corporate world.
The highly educated, mobile and tech-savvy age group that falls within the demographic band known as Generation Y wants a workplace that's like them: urban, flexible, collaborative, environmentally sensitive and unconventional.
For them, work isn't just a place they go to from 9 to 5, then go home. They want an office and a work culture that's an extension of themselves and their home life -- a place that supports what they value -- and it better be green, according to a new study by Johnson Controls Inc. that has implications for employers, facility managers, human resources departments and building and office space designers.
Johnson Controls released the results of its research project OXYGENZ at the WORKTECH10 Conference in New York. The study is aimed at providing the first look at the workplace expectations of Gen Y -- a group often considered as transformers or invaders depending on one's viewpoint.
With the Baby Boomers retiring and millions fewer in the younger generations to replace them in the workforce in the U.S., U.K. and Western Europe, employers are trying hard to understand what makes Gen Y tick.
And many employers are apprehensive about what it will take to attract and retain the top talent from this pool -- and how their demands can be reconciled with those of the other generations in the workplace: Generation X, the Baby Boomers and those who preceded from them, the Veterans, said Marie Puybaraud, Johnson Controls' director of Global WorkPlace Innovation and the author of the report.
"i think a lot of people thought they would be very demanding," said Puybaraud. "They're scared about Generation Y in the workplace."
The OXYGENZ project queried 3,011 18- to 25-year-olds in the United States, U.K. Germany, India and China. Using a survey with office furniture firm Haworth and the IDEA design consultancy based in the United Kingdom, researchers also included almost 1,300 26- to 35-year-olds and nearly 400 36- to 45-year-olds for further context. In all, 5,375 people responded to online surveys in research conducted earlier this year.
Although their work habits and desires are closest to those of Gen X, Gen Y's approach to the workplace is unique. "There's a very different story coming across with this group," said Puybaraud.
"That they consider work as a social element in their lives comes through very strongly," she said. "For them the workplace is a social construction and work is social. They want emotional engagement and the sense of community. They choose employers [because] they are looking for meaningful work and opportunities for learning, because of quality of life issues and work colleagues."
That's not to say the group's work ethic is diminished. Given their preferences for elastic schedules and multitasking, their workday may span longer hours or pack in more activity. They may also spend more time around the office as well, given that they'd like snack and coffee bars on site -- and want places like clubs, cocktail bars and gyms nearby, if not in, the building. That said, employers can expect these employees will want to manage their duties and tasks to satisfy their needs for work-life balance.
Based on the study findings, employers can also expect that Gen Y:
Wants their jobs to be located in an urban area within an easy commute by foot, public transportation or by car. In the U.S., 79 percent said they prefer to work in an urban setting, 51 percent they'd get there by car (and for 34 percent that would be a hybrid vehicle) 18 percent would walk,15 percent would use public transit and 9 percent said they'd use a motorcycle or scooter.
Doesn't want a home-based work environment, although the group is highly connected via the Internet and high-tech gadgetry and could easily tap into work from home. "They want a place to go, and once they're there, they want their own desk and they want to be able to personalize it," said Puybaraud, noting that a large majority of Gen Y'ers want a desk they can call their own and less than a fifth would be happy sharing.
Wants office space to support collaboration, productivity and creativity. Forty-one percent said they'd prefer access to a team space, such as an area dedicated to their work group, and 32 percent said they prefer breakout spaces over conventional meeting rooms that are used by various work groups and usually need to be booked. Sixty-one percent want to work in natural light or with a combination of natural and artificial lighting.
Wants to be able to "see and feel the greenness in their workplace and mere compliance isn't enough," Puybaraud said.
Although 26- to 35-year-olds and 36-to-45-year-olds edged out Gen Y'ers on some environmental questions, Gen Y responses were strong on environmental issues. Ninety-six percent said they want an "environmentally aware or friendly workplace" and 57 percent said they want their employers to perform well above regulatory compliance. For the two previous 10-year age bands, 98 percent said they want an "environmentally aware or friendly workplace" and 67 to 74 percent said they want their employers to be overachievers in compliance.
