P2P4U Net Aston Villa Football
P2P4U net will look at that the Aston Villa football club which is part of the English Premier football league. Aston Villa football club was started back in 1874. For over 115 years Aston Villa has played at the same stadium which is called Villa Park. Aston Villa has won seven championships and also 7 FA Cup titles. The local team that they do battle with often is Birmingham city.
The Aston Villa crest is a yellow lion with blue and red stripes in the background. This crest was used until the 2007 season when a new crest was introduced. Villa Park, which is where Aston Villa plays their home football matches, is a top-rated football stadium. In the 1800s Aston Villa also played at Aston Park for three years and Perry Barr for 21 years. Villa Park can hold over 50,000 football fans during the match and is one of the most used stadiums in the European premiere football league. P2P4U net believes that watching football at Villa Park is an amazing experience.
Aston villa is owned by Randy Lerner who also owns the NFL's Cleveland Browns. Lerner took full control of Aston Villa in 2007. Aston Villa has a huge fan base and under the new management they have been looking to expand their fan base to find new fans who enjoy watching football. Like the other football teams in the English Premier league, Aston Villa has multiple hooligans such as the steamers, Villa hard-core, and Villa youth. Aston Villa has a second longest tenure in the Premier league. Because Aston Villa and Everton are the two oldest teams in the English Premier league the match when they play each other is always a popular draw. Thousands of football fans love to watch this football game every year. p2p4u net highly recommends watching this football match when these two teams play.

Orb (Super Paper Mario)
The Orbs in Super Paper Mario are items needed to make a bridge leading to Grambi's Castle. The three different orbs consist of the Yellow Orb, the Blue Orb and the Red Orb. These orbs are elliptical in shape compared to traditional orbs of the circular variety. All of these are obtained in Chapter 7-4 and after placing them all on a glowing pedestal, the bridge is made.
Yellow Orb[edit]
Mario, on the hunt for the Orbs, encountered Yebbi. He was hiding in a restroom, worried that a Skellobit was at the door. Mario had to tell Yebbi that he was a monster, therefore Yebbi knew that a monster would never confess their real identity, and exited the restroom. Relieved, Yebbi gave Mario the Yellow Orb.
Blue Orb[edit]
Mario also encountered Blubi on his journey. When they found him, he was frozen. Bowser had to use his Fire Breath to melt the ice, freeing Blubi. However, when he woke up with amnesia, Mario had to speak with him until he came back to his senses and gave Mario and company the Blue Orb.
Red Orb[edit]
Lastly, Mario encountered Rebbi on his journey. He was battling a horde of Skellobits and tiring due to the vast number of the creatures, instructed Mario to defeat them. After they are all defeated, Rebbi rewards Mario with the Red Orb.

There is a whole lot of baking going on this week due to the fact that it's NATIONAL BAKING WEEK. I don't need an excuse to bake. Ever since I saw Delia Smith on Saturday Swap Shop, I have loved to bake. Weekends were spent meticulously weighing out ingredients onto my mums glass saucers from her 'trendy' 1970's tea set, pretending I was in front of lights and cameras. The BBC never called for me, but my love of baking remained.
Being married with 4 children, I used to make all the normal rice crispy treats and jam tarts with my children, then my mum bought me a children's novelty cake book and I decided to have a go. The first cake I did was a teddy bears picnic cake for my twins first birthday. After their party a friend asked me to do her daughters birthday cake and then at her party another friend asked to do a cake and so its snowballed by word of mouth.

Hi all,
I don't have NN yet but planning to buy it...probably NN5 or NN5L..
One quick case that i can't find the answer yet:
The lens diameter is larger than the height of the camera body, in this case for example, Canon 400D is paired with any lens that has 77mm ring diameter (e.g. 17-40, 10-22)
Considering that the tip of the lens will be over the base of the camera, do i need to add something between the camera plate & camera body (for example T adapter) so that there will be enough space for the tip of the lens....so it will not touch the rotating arm?
Hopefully i describe my issuw well enough so that everybody will get the general idea of it...

Officers and deputies subsequently arrested a black male subject and transported him to El Dorado. At this time all of the persons wanted in connection with the shooting incident have been taken into custody.
The investigation continues. The condition of the victim remains unchanged.

6 Prison Jobs That Are Probably Better Than Yours
#3. Saving an Endangered Species
Now here's one that sounds like the setup for a feel-good Free Willy-type movie starring Morgan Freeman. They're tough-guy inmates ... banding together to save an endangered species! They're breeding rare animals in captivity ... while in captivity themselves! Honestly, it's the kind of plot so corny it'd make your grandma roll her eyes.
"You know what's no longer an endangered species? My heart."
And, yes, it's completely real. The Oregon spotted frog is the threatened species, currently a candidate for the endangered species list. We suppose it's natural that Oregon and Washington State, both so full of unemployed hipsters and retired hippies that they're on the verge of being depicted on their state flags, would want to do something to save the frogs. You would not have thought that one of the more successful programs to save them would be run by convicts at the Cedar Creek Correctional Facility in Littlerock, Washington.
USFWS Pacific
Slimy, unloved, forgotten and under-appreciated. But let's talk about the frogs.
Inmates help care for tadpoles until they're old enough to be released, and unlike the fiasco with the classic cars we just mentioned, this program has exceeded all expectations. Cedar Creek frogs have grown stronger and healthier than frogs in other breeding programs, all because of the careful feeding and care provided by the felons.
And get this -- the program has been so successful that researchers from more traditional programs (ones involving laboratories and trained scientisty people) are actually coming to Cedar Creek to study the convicts' methods.
The Seattle Times
"I learned not to hug them the hard way."
Reportedly, when the frogs are ready they'll be released into an ironically named area known as the Joint Base Lewis McChord wetlands. The credits will roll, the inmates will have learned an important lesson about the sanctity of life and a tearful warden (again, Morgan Freeman) will stride in and announce that the governor has granted them all a pardon and that they are free to go.
Also the governor will be Freeman and all the prisoners will be Freeman with different hats.
Hell, the only way the premise would be more Disney-ready is if they were raising horses.
#2. Raising Horses
Who doesn't love horses? No one, right? You might even love them to the point where you'd be tempted to buy one. And what better horse to buy than one you can adopt, preferably one born in captivity and domesticated by inmates! Hell, you practically get an inspirational montage in your head at the mere mention of it.
They even know the horse whisper -- "Fuck around and I swear I will shank you."
Enter the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and inmates from the Warm Springs Correctional Facility in Carson City, Nevada (other prisons have started running similar programs as well). Basically, the convicts are used to train horses born in captivity for sale and adoption by private citizens, and even disabled children.
Training horses born in captivity is harder than it sounds, and it sounds pretty damn hard to begin with. Those horses are difficult to train because the early contact they have with humans causes them to pick up certain human habits and traits. Habits like sensing moods, anger and stubbornness, and acting out accordingly. Good thing inmates aren't moody and don't have anger issues.
Unfortunately, this horse now drives a pickup and wishes the South had won.
The angle is two-fold: On one hand, the prisoner gets to learn a skill and take pride in knowing that the animal he's raising could eventually brighten the day of some disabled child. On the other hand, by having prisoners train a horse, it increases its value from $125 to over $1,000, thus enabling the prisoner to "earn his keep," or as a more cynical person might put it, "make a ton of money for the prison system."
"Yee-haw, I'm funding my own incarceration!"
People interested in a horse adoption are encouraged to swing on by and start the bidding. But don't wear blue jeans. Why? Because you might be accidentally confused for an inmate and thrown in jail. Happy bidding!
#1. Create a TV Network
As we said, breaking into the entertainment business isn't easy, and maybe as a prisoner you aspire to something more than setting up amps for Cheap Trick. But what other options do you have? You don't live in the Philippines, so you don't have much hope of becoming a dancing star on YouTube.
God, American prisons are so restrictive.
Well, if you do your time in Louisiana, you can wind up helping run an entire TV network.
LSPTv (Louisiana State Penitentiary TV) is an entire closed-circuit television station run by and for inmates. It's the only such network in the nation, offering a rather unique employment opportunity in an industry that even non-incarcerated people have trouble breaking into. Convicts are responsible for filming, editing, production, staffing and every other aspect of the magic that is television programming.
Including being run into the ground and having to fellate the production staff.
That programming includes everything from convict football games, the biannual Angola Prison Rodeo, inmate-produced musical variety programs and Tuesday night boxing. And we have to say ... we would totally watch the hell out of all of that. It's ironic how a group of convicted felons in one of the most violent prisons in the country can put together a better and more diverse programming lineup than the network executives at CBS.
This shit is encouraged here.
Perhaps the inmates have a stronger motivation to provide quality entertainment to an audience that would have no problem expressing their displeasure with a sharpened chunk of bed frame to the ribs.
"My letter-writing campaign failed, so I just started posting ears in the envelopes."
Benjamin Buso lives in Texas and thankfully has never had any of these jobs during his diverse and unique employment history.
And see how you can squander that job away in 6 Bizarre Forms of Discrimination That Can Lose You a Job. Or see why your employer isn't that bad in The 6 Most Horrific Bosses of All Time.

You're a series.
I second that it's an awesome game, havn't played in about a month but any idea if i can just update my beta client instead of re-downloading the whole game?
They said it wasn't a possibility, but I didn't try.
meh, i'll just download it through steam then. Their servers are crazy fast.
This is definitely on the top 3 for free PC games I've ever played.
If anyone has any interest in joining, me and a few friends have an Outfit in the Watherson(or Waterson, don't really remember) server. New Conglomerate, Space Cowboys is the name of the Outfit.
When i get round to redownloading it i'll hit you up and play with you guys, you do definately need an outfit to take advantage of the game properly and have as much fun as possible.
Yeah I'll look into joining too. Haven't played but a bit of the beta, so I'd love to see the full thing.
Last edited by Arttemis; 11-30-2012 at 09:27 AM.
You're welcome to join, as long as you're not a filthy Power Ranger Zealot, or a Fascist Commie. 'Cause dem cowboys from space are dabes. Even when you are mocking yourself shouting "FUCK YEAH 'MURICA".
Seriously though, we're in love with it. We play all the time, and the more people we get, the more fun it is. You guys will be more than welcome. Especially if you can fly decently, we all suck as pilots.
Oh well, at least I'm expedient at Jesusing around with my medic, raising the dead, healing people, and punishing the wicked with my Annointed Shotgun.
I played medic in beta, loved that shit. I also suck ass at flying, shits hard yo.
Flying definitely requires practice but what sucks is you need to spend resources to get a new one when al you want to do is get better at flying.
I've just tried to create my character and the name noobspoon is taken. This has never happened to me before in any game, i even had the name in beta. I'm too disappointed to even play it right now.
Maybe they fucked up and kept your name in the server but won't let you log in or make another account in that name?
I can log in, my noobspoon was wiped ages ago. I had a different character during beta since then. Someone else has took the name this time around
NoopSboon, NoobSpork, NoobNife.
I dunno. I was upset when my name Robin was taken after changing to a new server to play with friends on DAoC. No more Robin Hood scout =(
Last edited by Arttemis; 12-10-2012 at 10:04 AM.
Or just your name.
I saw a noobspoon I believe. (Or was it spoonerism?)
Well, I believe I might'a seen someone like that. I remember talking about YT videos with him.

This paper investigates the effects of neighborhood size and network structure on strategic experimentation. We analyze a multi-arm bandit game with one safe and two risky alternatives. In this setting, risk taking produces a learning externality and an opportunity for free riding. We conduct a laboratory experiment to investigate whether group size and the network structure affect risk taking. We find that group size has an effect on risk taking that is qualitatively in line with equilibrium predictions. Introducing an asymmetry among agents in the same network with respect to neighborhood size leads to substantial deviations from equilibrium play. Findings suggests that subjects react to changes in their direct neighborhood but fail to play a best-response to their position within the network.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - While the excitement of the opening of Boscov's Department Store builds, the Ohio Valley Mall recently announced the addition of two new stores that will be opening around the same time.
Boscov's is slated to open in October, as is children's clothing store The Children's Place.
A trusted children's apparel retailer, the Children's Place will be located next to King's Jewelry store.
Article Photos
THE?CHILDREN'S Place will open here, at the site of the former Wendy's and next door to King's Jewelry in October at the Ohio Valley Mall.
Currently, the closest Children's Place locale is at the Tanger Outlets near Washington, Pa.
It will be the company's first foray in the Ohio Valley Market, although the Caffaro Company, which oversees the mall, has dealings with The Children's Place at its other commercial locations.
"They do business at other malls of ours and we have a great relationship with them," said Candi Noble-Greathouse, marketing director for the Ohio Valley Mall.
"We are very excited. It will be a wonderful store with more, great options for children's clothes.
"It will be open for the holiday shopping season and, hopefully, by the end of October."
The Children's Place is the largest pure-play children's specialty apparel retailer in North America. The company designs, contracts to manufacture and sells fashionable, high-quality merchandise at value prices, primarily under the proprietary "The Children's Place" brand name.
The other addition is on the outside of the mall and will occupy the space that currently houses Quiznos and is next to Starbucks.
The Panda restaurant will feature menu offerings inspired by Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and other Pacific Rim cultures.
The restaurant will be 1,500 square feet and located next to Starbucks' drive-thru.
Panda is slated to start serving its customers only a few weeks after Boscov's and The Children's Place open.
These moves, along with the recent opening of MC Sports have come on the heels of the recent major renovations that took place at the mall within the last year to upgrade the facility.

What's the best way to set up the webpage in the definitive hosting with the definitive domain, blocking it to any unknown users and without affecting affecting SEO and those kind of things. If I were to just upload it, the non-definitive website might be crawled by a SE-bot.

Mildred (Billie) Knight Worthington
Nurse, volunteered in Roxbury
SOUTHBURY — Mrs. Mildred (Billie) Worthington, 100, a resident of Watermark at East Hill, died at the Danbury Hospital on Friday morning, Sept. 28, 2012. She fell on Tuesday evening, Sept. 18. She was the widow of Elmer Harry Worthington.
Mildred Elizabeth Knight was born on July 28, 1912 in Winter Haven, Fla., to Ignatius and Viola Knight. She graduated from Winter Haven High School at 16 in 1929 and entered Orange General Nursing School in Orlando, where she earned her registered nurse degree at age 18.
Too young to get her Florida license, she went to the advanced nursing program at Women's Hospital in Baltimore, Md., where she took post-graduate training in obstetrics and then went to Philadelphia Hospital for Mental and Nervous Disorders.
When she first entered nursing school, all the new students were asked to write on a card what they wanted to be called. She didn't like Mildred and her best friend in high school was "Billie," so she wrote on her card, Billie Knight, and that had been her name since.
Her half-sister, Mae, was married and living in New Milford, Conn., so Billie went to New Milford, received her Connecticut nursing license in 1933 and was employed at the New Milford Hospital. She met a young bank teller, Elmer Worthington, a New Milford native. They married in 1934. Billie worked until she became pregnant in the mid-1930s.
After World War II the Worthingtons (with a son and two daughters) moved to Bridgewater, when Elmer began commuting to New York City as an officer of Banker's Trust. In 1946 they moved to Roxbury, where they lived, raising their family, until moving to Watermark (then East Hill Woods) in 1998.
Elmer worked in New York City until retiring in 1976 and then was an officer at the Danbury Savings Bank until 1980. He died at age 91 in 2002. He is buried in the family plot in Stafford, Conn.
Both Billie and Elmer became legends for all of their volunteer work in Roxbury. They worked for the local Democratic Party, the Roxbury Congregational Church, the Roxbury Library, the Booth Free School and the Town of Roxbury. Billie served on numerous volunteer boards.
During their retirement they traveled frequently, continued to do volunteer work and enjoyed life. Billie was very active in sports competition at Watermark, played bridge and poker weekly, and worked for several volunteer programs at Watermark.
The highlight of her later years was celebrating her 100th birthday in July. More than 200 relatives and friends came from all over the world to join in her festivities.
Her children and grandchildren created a 120-page book of her life. She was a very impressive woman who had served as a mentor to numerous younger women. She will be missed by several generations of friends and relatives.
She is survived by her son, Bob Worthington and his wife Anita in New Mexico; daughter June Mendell of Massachusetts, and daughter Diane Worthington and her husband Jerry West of Maine; six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Billie prefered to celebrate life and saw her 100th birthday parties as her alternative to any service for her after death. Therefore there will not be any services held, per her request.
Memorial contributions made be made in her honor to the Roxbury Land Trust, P.O.B. 51, Roxbury, CT 06783 or www.roxburylandtrust.org.

Can a single Virtual Core on a VM use more then 1 physical core?
I'm a co-owner of a Minecraft server that is getting rather large each day, but as we get bigger we're running into the limits of Minecraft and the way it's coded. The game isn't coded to use multiple cores, instead it only uses one core. So talking with a friend he suggested seeing if it was possible to have a virtual machine only have one virtual core yet use three of the four cores on the host machine. I've done some research and can't seem to find any answers. It doesn't matter if the host operating system is Windows or Linux, I'm just curious as to if it can be done.
If it can be done or is done automatically, can you provide links so that I can read upon this and learn more... I am new to virtual machines so go easy.

The other day my wife, who went to quite a good school, told me that her literature teacher had taught her class abbreviations of terms which they were then asked to write in the margins of their books. HHI was one example, and stands for heavy-handed irony. I only just now realized that this was not something I learned to do in school. In fact, I had never heard the term before. But HHI, for example, seems like a pretty ubiquitously novelistic device. (The banana breakfast scene of Gravity's Rainbow comes to mind.) Where can I find a long (exhaustive, even) list of such terms, for my own reference?
migrated from literature.stackexchange.com Apr 26 '12 at 21:51
One of the best references for this sort of thing (and a required text at my MA English program) is M.H. Abrams's A Glossary of Literary Terms.
Wiki offers a long list of literary terms. The University of Toronto offers a glossary of poetic terms. Cengage Learning offer this quite broad list.

Ashley Olsen's Turban: Would You Wear It?
Blame it on Miuccia — as soon as Prada showed their Spring collection with all the models wearing satin turbans, we know the look would be in style. And while stars like Jennifer Lopez have always loved their headwraps, trendsetters like Ashley Olsen are already snapping up the pricey Prada bands ($300 and up). Of course, if you don't want to invest quite that much in the trend, Forever 21 is making a version for a much more bearable $5. But the real question is do you want to wear it? Tell us: Would you wear a turban like Ashley? Is this a trend you'll try?

Next: Forward ed, Up: Scripts
diff can produce commands that direct the ed text editor to change the first file into the second file. Long ago, this was the only output mode that was suitable for editing one file into another automatically; today, with patch, it is almost obsolete. Use the --ed (-e) option to select this output format.
Like the normal format (see Normal), this output format does not show any context; unlike the normal format, it does not include the information necessary to apply the diff in reverse (to produce the first file if all you have is the second file and the diff).
If the file d contains the output of 'diff -e old new', then the command '(cat d && echo w) | ed - old' edits old to make it a copy of new. More generally, if d1, d2, ..., dN contain the outputs of 'diff -e old new1', 'diff -e new1 new2', ..., 'diff -e newN-1 newN', respectively, then the command '(cat d1 d2 ... dN && echo w) | ed - old' edits old to make it a copy of newN.

I am asked this:
"Let m, n, and r be non-negative integers. How many distinct "words" are there consisting of m occurrences of the letter A, n occurrences of the letter B, r occurrences of the letter C, such that no subword of the form CC appears, and no other letters are used?"
This was my method to solve the problem which was incorrect:
We can find all possible words with length n+m+r where we have n-A's, m-B's, and r-C's : $$\frac{(n+m+r)!}{n!m!r!}$$
We are asked to find how many distinct words there are such that "no subword of the form CC appears." You can look at this problem in two ways to look at this problem 1. We could use C's and insert letters that would effectively break up adjacent C's 2. We could use a string and A's and B's and try to put C's into the string in order to break up the string. Both views will result in the number of subwords with the form CC.
So we know that we are looking for: $\frac{(n+m+r)!}{n!m!r!}$ −number of words with doubles C′s
So we must now formulate how to find the number of double C forms.
Using the second approach aforementioned we can construct a word with n-A's and m2-B's $n+m\choose m$ ways. In order to appropriately account for overlaps and gaps we can expand on the previous form resulting in : $n+m+1\choose{r}$⇒ $\frac{(n+m+1)!}{((r!((n+m+1)−r)!))}$
This effectively chooses the number of gaps we can insert C into.
So we can calculate the number of words created without the subword CC being repeated by: f(n,m,r)=$\frac{(n+m+r)!}{n!m!r!}$ − $\frac{(n+m+1)!}{((r!((n+m+1)−r)!))}$
So for n=2, m=1, r=2 f(2,1,2)=30 −6⇒24
This was wrong. Can anyone help me with where I went wrong?

The Past
A veritable powerhouse in this speciality, Uruguay are one of only seven sides to have taken part in every FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Twice they have enjoyed podium finishes, taking runners-up spot at Rio de Janeiro 2006, then third place the following year also in Rio. Despite arriving in Marseille last year as title contenders, La Celeste produced their worst ever showing in the competition, finishing a disappointing seventh.
The Present
In spite of the pressure of playing the South American qualifiers on home soil, Venancio Ramos' charges survived a scare or two to book their places at Dubai 2009 with relative ease. The emphatic defeat at the hands of Brazil in the final should not detract from what was a fine tournament for them overall, even if the reverse served as a timely reminder of what they can expect from the other contenders in Dubai. With practically the same squad that competed at Marseille 2008, Uruguay will travel to the UAE with their sights set on a semi-final berth at the very least.
The Future
"We're once again the second best team in South America, and that is something very significant for us. Now the objective is to have a fitting conclusion to four consecutive World Cup appearances, and what better way to do that than secure a podium finish," says Diego, the Celeste's goalkeeper and captain.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, CEO Frederick W. Smith said he expects between 5% and 30% of US long-distance trucking to be fueled by compressed or liquefied natural gas over 10 years, as the cost of the trucks declines and fueling stations become more common.
By LESLIE EATON
HOUSTON -- Truck fleets are likely to make a major shift to
natural-gas fuels and away from diesel over the next decade,
with FedEx Corp. a likely adopter, said Frederick W. Smith,
chairman and CEO of the shipping company.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr.
Smith said he expects between 5% and 30% of US long-distance
trucking to be fueled by compressed or liquefied natural gas
over 10 years, as the cost of the trucks declines and fueling
stations become more common.
"If you'd asked me three years ago, I'd have said this is
very tough, because the infrastructure wasn't there," he
But now, the company is testing four trucks -- two using
liquefied gas and two using compressed gas -- and if those work
well the company will look to moving more of its 90,000
motorized vehicles to the fuel, Mr. Smith said, adding, "We'd
be remiss if we didn't."
Whether the company will make "a big conversion or wait
until the economics make sense," he said, will depend in large
part on the cost of tractor-trailer trucks. Right now those
that use liquefied natural gas remain significantly above those
that use diesel, he said, at about $175,000 to $180,000 versus
about $105,000 for traditional models.
Though Memphis, Tenn.-based FedEx is famous for its planes,
the company's ground-delivery business has been growing
rapidly, Mr. Smith said, as jet-fuel costs soared from 67
cents/gal in 2001 to more than $3/gal today. Hundreds of
FedEx's lighter vehicles are now electric or hybrids.
The company has been working to make its fleet more energy
efficient, announcing earlier this week that fuel economy for
its fleet of vehicles around the globe has improved by 22% from
2005. It plans to hit a 30% reduction from 2005 levels by 2020.
Last year it announced a similar goal for aircraft emissions.
Exports of natural gas, which require federal approval, have
become a contentious issue in Washington. Mr. Smith said he
favored exporting liquefied natural gas and even oil, as they
would give the US a lever to get other countries to open their
"We have so much gas," he said, "it would be foolish and at
the end of the day penny-wise and pound-foolish not to
The company, which burns 1.5 billion gallons of diesel and
jet fuel a year delivering freight and packages to 220
countries, isn't seeing any effect on fuel prices from the US
energy boom. Mr. Smith said he doesn't expect to see a decline,
as prices will remain set by global markets.
The growth in the global economy is likely to remain slow,
he said. But the energy boom is contributing to economic
activity around the US, he said, especially in energy-heavy
areas such as Texas' Permian Basin and North Dakota's Bakken
"We are delivering a lot of stuff up there to the Bakken for
sure," he said.

JavaOne - Java SE Embedded Booth - Pactron Java Programmable Automation Controller (JPAC)
By David Clack on Sep 27, 2012
Hi All,
So at the last JavaOne we talked about developing a Java powered Programmable Automation Controller (JPAC) with our partner Pactron in Santa Clara.
We actually demoed it running first at the Embedded Show in Germany this March.
JPAC is based on a Marvell 88F6282 Kirkwood ARM SOC, we partnered with Hilsher from just outside Frankfurt, Germany for the mini pci ProfiBus controllers, Revolution Robotics from Corvallis, Oregon wrote the Java SE Embedded for ARM to Hilscher Linux driver interface.
Revolution Robotics also designed the HTML5 application that runs on a Marvell ARM tablet to actually send and receive commands via ProfiBus to a slave device.
We will have the system running in our booth at JavaOne this year, come take a look.
If you are registered at JavaOne you can come over to the Java Embedded @ JavaOne for $100
Come see us in booth 5605
See you thereDave

Louis A. Godey, New York, 1850Item 11574 info
Brick Store Museum
Godey's Lady's Book, a magazine aimed at women, was a leading influence in the cultural and intellectual lives -- including fashion -- of 19th-century American women.
Louis Antoine Godey (1804-1878), whose family fled France during the French Revolution, was the joint founder of the magazine in 1830.
Full of energy and enthusiasm, he demonstrated great self-confidence. In his popular "Arm Chair" chats he shared with his devoted readers his problems and his successes.
In the early years, the magazine contained only reprinted English works. When Godey hired Sarah Josepha Hale as editor, that changed and the magazine began its climb to influence.

Eh, write me back when it's a 3490LMT. Consumer Reports has this one at 60 points and sucks at routing v. 85 points at top-of-the-line.
Agreed. I have one of these and routing sux. You can do it as waypoints, but that's a tedious task. I would not have bought it if I had researched further.
Our local Humane Society has posted on their website that they are in need of a good new GPS for the enforcement officers. If I can find a good one at a reasonable price I would like to get it and donate it. Any suggestions for some of the best ones for finding pretty out-of-the-way places where there are puppy mills etc?

On the other hand, Yithro is a subject of dispute as to whether and when he converted.

Mequon man pleads not guilty in parents' slaying
A Mequon man charged with killing his parents at their home in April entered not guilty pleas Wednesday.
Dennis Markov, 20, faces two counts of first degree intentional homicide in the April 17 slayings. Victor Markov, 45, and Larissa Markov, 39, were found dead in their home in the Ville du Parc neighborhood, after she failed to show up for work. Both had been shot in the back of their heads.
Markov, who was home when police arrived, told them he shot his parents after an argument that ensued when his father denied his request for $5 in gas money.
The case was set for trial in January.
Brown Deer School Board rejects teachers' counter offer on new contract
Brown Deer School Board President Gary Williams called a special School Board meeting to order at 7 p.m. and by 7:01, it was over as member Lisa Zielinski quickly moved to adjourn the meeting that was called Monday night to discuss a contract counter proposal from the Brown Deer Education Association.
By a 4-3 vote, the board adjourned, preferring to allow the Budget Repair Bill to go into effect rather than taking an 11th hour action on a contract with teachers.
The union and board have been negotiating a contract over the last six weeks, but the work appeared to end when the union rejected the district's offer on June 22.
Lisa Albers, who is the chief negotiator for the union, said after looking at the proposal again, the union decided to accept it with some modifications and notified the district Monday night about 5 p.m.
Miguel Salas, the director of Lakewood Uniserv, a division of WEAC, said the union was concerned about layoffs in the current financial climate and wanted the district to consider seniority and the needs of the district as two factors when making layoff decisions.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer School Board meeting on teachers contract tonight
The School Board is holding a special meeting at 7 p.m. to discuss a contract with the Brown Deer Education Association. The board, which held its regular meeting Monday night, exchanged contract proposals with the union earlier this month.
The union rejected the district's proposal on June 22 but late Monday afternoon changed course, notifying the district it would accept the contract with some modifications. At 6 p.m. Monday night the board scheduled a special meeting to discuss the contract, allowing a 24-hour notice as required by law.
After midnight Tuesday, the budget repair bill takes effect, limiting the union's ability to negotiate only to pay increases.

Wolf's GT edges Sykes' Nicolet, 3-1, as a friendly rivalry begins
The whole overarching scenario felt weird to both of them, but there was nothing but genuine feeling that went into the hug between Nicolet baseball coach Dick Sykes and his long-time assistant turned head coach at Germantown Jeff Wolf, as the pair prepared to do battle in a North Shore Conference game on an achingly perfect Monday evening in Germantown.
The two coaches were entering new phases of their careers. Wolf had served as Sykes' chief assistant at Nicolet for 18 years before taking the Germantown job last fall while Sykes' had to enter a major rebuilding year without someone whom he felt was his conscience and his guide.
"It's just not the same without him," admitted Sykes in a candid moment after Germantown had won 3-1. "Jason (new assistant Grodsky) does a great job and is a great guy, but when you have someone around 17-18 years like Jeff was, well, it was like we were one person."
"I'd ask him a question, and he'd give me the answer that I was thinking myself. I know it's sad, but I was lucky to have him for that long and they're lucky to have him here now. He knows baseball, he knows talent and he'll make the commitment to them."
"They'll be winning conference titles soon just you watch."» Read Full Article
BD rallies from 4-0 deficit to edge host HHS, 5-4
The Brown Deer baseball team found character in the form of a pair of very young pitchers as the Falcons rallied from a 4-0 deficit to beat host Homestead, 5-4, Friday night.
Freshman Ryan Hudson settled in after a rugged start and got the win after throwing five-and-a-third innings, while sophomore Drew Worth pitched an inning and two-thirds of scoreless relief to secure the save.
"They're just a couple of great kids," said Falcon coach Mike Donahue. "I have Ryan in class and he's just fantastic to be around. In fact, the whole group is great to be around and they just continue to work hard."
The nonconference win gave the Falcons an 11-8 record, while for the 11-7 Highlanders, it was double trouble.
They fell in an eight-inning rain make-up earlier in the afternoon at Port Washington, also by a 5-4 score, before hosting the Falcons in the 8 p.m. tilt at Rennicke Field.» Read Full Article
45-year prison term in River Hills sex assaults
A man convicted of sexually assaulting teen girls at his River Hills mansion was sentenced Thursday to 45 years in prison.
Robert D. Lee-Kendrick, 38, denied ever molesting the girls, and said the accusations arose after he tightened up discipline on a bunch of teens who spent weekends and summers at his seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom home, which featured a pool and recording studio.
But at a trial earlier this month at which all three victims testified, he was found guilty of two counts of repeated sexual assault of a child and one count of second-degree sexual assault of a child. The jury acquitted him of child sexploitation and found him not guilty of three counts of possession of child pornography.
Circuit Judge Dennis Cimpl gave Lee-Kendrick three consecutive 15-year terms, one for each count, followed by three consecutive 10-year terms of extended supervision when he is released.
Lee-Kendrick was initially charged in 2007 and pleaded no contest to three charges in 2008. But after he was hit with a 57-year prison term, he was allowed to withdraw his plea on the argument of ineffective assistance of counsel.
Nicolet rallies for 10-9 win over rival Bay on muddy, cool night
The weather, with dank, unseasonable cold and the conditions of Stormonth Field--fans felt like they walking through a jungle swamp as they splashed through the rain-soaked grass to the grandstands-- should have been enough to depress the Nicolet baseball team Wednesday in its battle with archrival Whitefish Bay.
But when the Knights fell behind to the Blue Dukes, 9-3, after three-and-a-half innings, Nicolet would not have been blamed if it had gone completely in a funk and called it a night.
However, they did nothing of the sort, scoring in each of the last five innings, including a three-run rally in the seventh that was highlighted when C.J. Putterman was hit by a pitch with the bases-loaded and the score tied lifting the Knights to a surprising 10-9 victory.
"We're still a Jekyll and Hyde sort of team," said Nicolet coach Dick Sykes, pointing to his team's four errors, a problem all season. "We really should not have won that game, but we hit the ball (13 hits) and we never quit."
"But seriously, we can't be making a habit of this."» Read Full Article
Village OKs merged health department
The Village Board on Monday approved an agreement that provides for the merger of the North Shore and Shorewood/Whitefish Bay health departments. The merged department will be known as the North Shore Health Department and its employees will be employees of Brown Deer, as was the case previously.
The board of health for the new department will be made up of one representative of each of the seven member communities who will be appointed by the various municipal boards. There will also be a community representative and a medical doctor appointed by the board.
The funding for the department will be based on both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are calculated using a formula based on actual staff hours. Indirect costs are based on the total service costs minus the direct costs.
Brown Deer will save an estimated $24,187 in 2012 with the new department.
Shorewood has approved the agreement and the remaining five communities are expected to take action on it during July.
Lion's Gates landscaping vandalized twice
Village crews, along with a GreenScape Committee member, have worked diligently to provide some new plantings to the Lion's Gates, located at the Fairy Chasm Road/Lake Drive intersection.
While the hope is to provide a more aesthetically pleasing, natural landscaped area for the community to enjoy, the newly planted landscaping has been the subject of vandalism over the past two evenings.
On both occasions, several of the new plantings were removed or trampled, and then left at the side of the road. Incidents have been reported to the Police Department each night. If you have any information pertaining to this, please contact the Bayside Police Department at (414) 351-8800.
Public financing plan for Shorewood project approved by Village Board
A plan to provide over $8 million in public financing to help pay for a $35 million apartment and retail development in Shorewood has been approved by the Village Board.
The board voted 6-0 late Monday night to approve the financing plan, and zoning approval, for a six-story building west of N. Oakland Ave. and south of E. Kenmore Place, on the parking lot for Nehring's Sendik's grocery store.
The new building, to be developed by Mandel Group Inc. and RE Enterprises LLC, will relocate Walgreens from its current location across Kenmore Place, and feature 84 apartments on the upper floors.
The project will include two parking decks, one under the apartments and the other to be built just west of Sendik's. They will provide spaces for the apartment residents, and residents of a nearby apartment building operated by Katz Properties Inc.
The parking decks also will provide around 150 free parking spaces for day-time customers of Walgreens, Sendik's and other nearby businesses, with the village charging fees for overnight parking.» Read Full Article

Bradford limits HHS opportunities in 3-0, state softball match-up
Homestead's Dave Keel is retiring from the classroom this school year, but not from the coaches' box in either softball or football where he is an unqualified success.
And he's definitely not taking a leave of absence from his most important job as Dad.
That's why he spent a long time hugging both senior first baseman Siena Mitman and his daughter/four-year starting catcher Amy immediately after the Highlanders 3-0 WIAA state quarterfinal softball loss to Kenosha Bradford Thursday afternoon at the Goodman Diamond in Madison.
That's because he's going to miss his daughter very much when she goes off to St. Louis University this fall to major in business.
"Much too far away," he said with a laugh in a recent conversation. "I may have to rent an apartment in St. Louis to keep an eye on her."» Read Full Article
Mequon teen sentenced to year in jail for friend's death
As her fellow Homestead High School graduates head off to college dorms in coming weeks, Madeline Kudlata will split her time between Marquette University and a jail cell as punishment for killing her best friend and classmate in a rollover crash last September.
Kudlata, 18, of Mequon was sentenced Thursday to a year in jail, with release privileges to attend Marquette, as a condition of five years probation. If she violates that or other conditions, she could go to prison for two years, and as many as five, under a sentence imposed, and stayed, by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Kevin Martens after a daylong hearing of emotional testimony from family on both sides.
Sydney Tabakin died Sept. 18 after Kudlata lost control on the ramp to northbound U.S. 41 from eastbound I-94. Kudlata and a front-seat passenger were not seriously injured. Tabakin was riding in the back seat without a seat belt.
In April, Kudlata pleaded no contest to homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle. She was initially ticketed for driving too fast for conditions and having an open container of alcohol in her car, but was charged with the felony in January.
Witnesses told investigators that Kudlata was disposing of liquor bottles at the scene. A blood test showed traces of marijuana, but no alcohol. Tabakin had no alcohol or illicit drugs in her system.» Read Full Article
Mequon council greenlights Prairie-style office building
The Common Council agreed to a zoning change and more that will allow Spectrum Investment Advisors to build a Prairie-style office building on the corner of Mequon Road and Industrial Drive.
Spectrum will move its offices into the majority of the 11,500-square-foot building, carving out a small 1,000 square-foot tenant space. The business is now located on Donges Bay Road.
The site for the new building is part of a larger development, Brewery Square, that was approved but never built after the economy hit hard times in 2009.
The city will also spend $450,000 to bury utilities around the street side perimeter of the Brewery Square site, along Buntrock Avenue, Mequon Road and Industrial Drive. The area is part of the Town Center, which is in a tax incremental financing district. The city borrowed $2.3 million to buy utilities as part of the project plan.
The city also agreed to create four on-street parking spaces on Industrial Drive and install the streetscaping planned for the area.
Rotary foundation springs for acoustic panels for pavilion
The Thiensville-Mequon Rotary Foundation will purchase and install acoustic panels at the Reuter Pavilion at Rotary Park. The pavilion is the site of several annual community events, including Gathering on the Green, Lobsterfest and the Thiensville-Mequon Lions Club shrimp dinner.
The sound quality within the pavilion is poor and there is an echo. The pavilion has block walls and a concrete floor which don't absorb sound.
The panels themselves will cost $6,678.
Because of the amount of the donation, the city had to approve the project which it did on Tuesday.
The foundation previously donated money to install similar panels at the Sommer Pavilion at River Barn Park.
Mequon takes title of nature preserve
The Common Council on Tuesday accepted the 438-acre Mequon Nature Preserve from its long-time partner, the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust. The city will soon negotiate a lease with Mequon Nature Preserve, a nonprofit friends group who will manage the property and operate the PieperPower Education Center. The city initiated the Mequon Nature Preserve project as a result of its residents' vision to save green space as expressed on a 1999 community wide survey according to former Mayor Christine Nuernberg, who is the secretary-treasurer of MNP.
The Ozaukee Washington Land Trust was instrumental in the nature preserve's development, purchasing the property and managing it. With the city's acceptance of a conservation easement that prohibits development on the land forever, OWLT will turn over the property title to the city of Mequon.
The council was evenly split on the decision to accept the land and easement, with Mayor Curt Gielow casting the deciding vote on its acceptance.
Aldermen John Wirth, John Hawkins, Dan Gannon and Mark Seider voted against it, objecting not to having the preserve but to some of the terms of the agreement and the fact that the resolution tied them to a lease they have not yet agreed to.
Nuernberg, who attended the meeting, said it had always been the city's intent to take ownership of the land, which was partially purchased with $8 million in donations, plus another $2 million from the city.
Pay-as-you-go incentive proposed for Mequon TIFs
Concerned about the older commercial district on Port Washington Road south of Mequon Road, the Common Council on Tuesday decided to move ahead with the development of a plan for two tax incremental financing districts for the area. The council also approved a TIF district incentive policy that could spur redevelopment not only in the proposed new TIFs but also in the city's two existing TIFs.
Although there will likely be changes to the TIF proposals reviewed Tuesday by the council, two TIF districts, including mainly businesses abutting Port Washington Road, would stretch from Mequon to County Line roads along Port Washington Road, broken in the middle by an area that does not qualify for redevelopment.
One district begins at County Line Road and ends south of Stein's Garden Center and includes most, though not all, property on both the east and west side of the street. The Pavilions Shopping Center is included in this TIF.
The second district begins on the east side of the street with the Marathon Buildings, 10620 N. Port Washington Road, and moves south to Donges Bay Road where it expands to both the west and east sides of the street. The district ends at County Line Road.
Community Development Director Kim Tollefson said a TIF incentive policy open to projects that create a new construction value of $1.5 million above the value of existing buildings would help all TIFs in the city.» Read Full Article
Council realigns wards to reflect census
The Common Council adjusted all of the city's ward boundaries at its meeting Monday night, moves made necessary by the 2010 census. Three aldermanic district boundaries, districts, 4, 5 and 6, were also adjusted.
The city is required to adjust wards in order to have similar population counts.
The adjustments, which go into effect Jan. 1, result in ward populations of 1,000 to 1,200 except in the 6th District where both wards 6 and 12 have 952 and 987 residents. City Administrator Richard Maslowski said the city anticipates population growth in those wards over the next decade.
Residents whose ward or district changed will be notified in January of their new polling locations.
Joplin humane society seeks donations
Glendale - Tina Clementi, the general manager of Trim Time, is collecting supplies and money for animals displaced by the Joplin, Mo., tornado.
Clementi and two coworkers plan to drive to Joplin on June 23 to drop off the items they collect. Needed are animal blankets, kennels, bowls, and food. If you want to donate money, checks can be made out to the Joplin Humane Society.
Many pet owners, homeless themselves, have been forced to give up their pets. The Humane Society of Southwest Missouri is taking the overflow from Joplin. Any excess supplies or money would go to Springfield if they are not needed in Joplin.
Donations may be dropped off at Trim Time, 6131 N. Green Bay Ave., between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday.
Former Doyle aide appointed to Shorewood Village Board
Thad Nation, onetime spokesman for Gov. Jim Doyle, has been appointed to the Shorewood Village Board.
The board voted 4-2 Monday to name Nation to a seat vacated in April by Margaret Hickey when she moved out of town, village officials said.
The appointment came after the board interviewed six candidates who'd applied for the job.
Nation is the founder and senior partner of Nation Consulting, a public affairs consulting firm based on the west side of Milwaukee.
The firm's website said that besides holding the spokesman's job, he'd been deputy campaign manager in Doyle's 2002 gubernatorial campaign and had held other jobs in state government - including working for then-Gov. Evan Bayh of Indiana - and for the Democratic Party.» Read Full Article
City goes back to mailing newsletters
The city will mail a printed newsletter to all residents beginning with the fall publication.
The city stopped printing and mailing the newsletter several years ago due to budget constraints, moving to an online version for the most part. A limited number of printed copies were available at City Hall.
Liturgical Publications will sell advertising for the newsletter and also publish it. The city will pay for mailing it, approximately $1,700 per each of the three issues. If Liturgical Publishing meets its revenue goal, the excess revenue would be used to cover the city's mailing expense.
The council thought the proposal was worth a try, especially since the five-year contract can be cancelled after a year.

Board interviewing trustee candidates tonight
The six sitting members of the Shorewood Village Board will interview candidates for the seventh vacant position at a special meeting at 4:45 p.m. Monday.
Six candidates filed paperwork at Village Hall by the deadline earlier this month. Residents include Bryan Koester, Thad J. Nation, Niki Karp Skinner, Joseph Stolzman, David Tatarowicz and Avner Zarmi.
The selected candidate will fill the position that had been held by former Trustee Margaret Hickey. Her seat is up for re-election in 10 months.
Cedarburg's two quick goals eliminate HHS in WIAA soccer, 2-1
Cedarburg girls soccer coach Trent Berg said that the two-goal first half advantage his team earned against archrival and host Homestead in a WIAA sectional semifinal Thursday night was a great thing.
Up to a point.
"You've got the momentum, but then it becomes a mental challenge because sometimes its hard to maintain focus," he said. "In a way, it's the most dangerous thing in the game."
But the Bulldogs (15-3-1) maintained that focus and fought off a second half surge from the second-ranked in state Highlanders (18-2-2) to pull off the 2-1 upset and a berth in Saturday's 5 p.m. WIAA sectional final at Brookfield East against top-ranked in state Grafton (22-2-3).
A berth in next week's WIAA State Tournament at the Uihlein Soccer Complex in Milwaukee is on the line. Homestead had beaten Cedarburg, 3-2, in the regular season.» Read Full Article

Road repair contract approved for several Bay streets
Street resurfacing will take place this summer in Whitefish Bay along portions of Bay Ridge, Bartlett, Hollywood, Kent, Lancaster and Lydell avenues, following action by the Village Board on Monday.
The board approved a recommendation by village staff to award a $280,194 contract to Stark Asphalt. The firm was the lowest bidder for the project. The village had earmarked $350,000 for the work in its 2011 budget, but Assistant Village Manager Matt Schuenke said the cost was defrayed because Whitefish Bay teamed up with Brown Deer, a community undertaking similar work, to increase the size of the contract and lower bid prices.
Property owners living within the affected areas will be charged a special assessment fee.
Shorewood set for Summer Sounds concert series
Seven free outdoor concerts will be held in Shorewood this summer, following action by the Village Board on Monday.
Summer Sounds will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays from June 30 to Aug. 11 at Hubbard Park Lodge, 3565 N. Morris Blvd. A variety of musicians will be performing throughout the summer with genres including jazz, reggae, Caribbean and contemporary pop.
The initiative is being spearheaded and partially funded by the Village of Shorewood Marketing Program. Additional underwriting is from the Shorewood Foundation, Shorewood Men's Club, PNC Bank, Big Bay Brewing Company and Hubbard Park Lodge.
Officials from the Marketing Program had to apply for permits for all seven concerts. In addition to approving the requests, the board reduced the permit fee from $700 to $100. The village typically charges $100 per event.
Homestead beats Central, 9-0, in sectional semis
Homestead junior pitcher Rachel Behnken shut out Brookfield Central, 9-0, tonight at Thiensville Village Park to win the sectional semi-final.
Behnken allowed only five hits and two walks and fanned six.
Central made a game of it briefly, as the Highlanders led 1-0 through two innings before scoring four runs in the third inning to take a 5-0 lead into the bottom of the fifth.
Behnke had an RBI double, Megan Bailey had an RBI single and Sami Wolniakowski ripped a 2-run double to key the third inning rally.

Federal judge dismisses Green Tree Road lawsuit
Federal Magistrate Judge Patricia Gorence has dismissed all federal civil rights claims brought against River Hills by the city of Glendale and Nicolet School District over a proposal to close the eastbound land of traffic on Green Tree Road between River and Jean Nicolet roads.
Attorney Michael Cieslewicz who represents the village said Gorence's ruling dismissed constitutional claims brought by the city and district but sent the state law claim back to Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
Gorence ruled that neither the city nor district has the legal standing raise a federal civil rights claim.
Last month River Hills rescinded the November 2009 resolution that called for a six month trial closure and led to the lawsuit.
Glendale City Attorney John Fuchs said he and Attorney Alan Marcuvitz, who has represented the city in the lawsuit, would meet with the Common Council to make a decision on whether to continue the case in state court in light of River Hills' action.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer joining consolidated dispatch
The Village Board on Monday decided to move its dispatch operations to the consolidated dispatch center that will be built in Bayside.
The board made the move by a 6-1 vote after almost two years of discussion over costs and service, directing Village Attorney John Fuchs to negotiate the agreement.
Tuberculosis confirmed at Bay middle school
The Shorewood/Whitefish Bay Health Department Health Officer, Jamie Berg, has confirmed that a case of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) has been identified at Whitefish Bay Middle School.
The student is currently being treated, and the Shorewood/Whitefish Bay Health Department is working collaboratively with the Whitefish Bay Middle School to assure that anyone who has been in close contact with the student, or who is at risk of contracting the disease, is being contacted and will be offered free testing and treatment if necessary.
According to Lorna Will, Program Director of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services TB Program, "Catching TB from an infected person is not that easy. Close and continued contact (within 6 feet and several hours) with an infected person is usually required for the spread of the disease."
In Wisconsin, approximately 70 new cases of tuberculosis disease are diagnosed each year. The most common symptoms are chronic cough, fever, sweats and weight loss. Tuberculosis can be cured with a proper regimen of medicine, and contacts who are at risk of developing the disease may also receive medicine to decrease their risk of getting the disease.
For more information about tuberculosis and questions about potential exposure, contact your own health care provider or the Shorewood/Whitefish Bay Health Department at (414) 847-2710, or the State TB Program at (608) 261-6319.» Read Full Article

Police union plans complaint over Brown Deer closed meeting
A lawyer for the statewide police union that represents dispatchers in Brown Deer says he'll file a complaint next week over a closed meeting the village held to discuss consolidation of its dispatch services.
Roger Palek, staff attorney for the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, said the subject of the meeting listed on its notice went beyond the exceptions in the state's open meetings law that allow some government meetings to be conducted behind closed doors.
The Village Board met in closed session Tuesday to discuss the idea of merging its dispatch services with six other North Shore communities.
The other suburbs have already voted to merge their services and have been waiting on Brown Deer to decide if it wants to come to the party.
Currently, two groups of suburbs share dispatching - Bayside, Fox Point and River Hills out of a center in Bayside; and Whitefish Bay, Shorewood, Glendale and the North Shore Fire Department out of a center in Whitefish Bay.» Read Full Article

Teen ruled incompetent to face ax murder charges

A report from a court-appointed psychologist who examined Wilson in the aftermath of the May 8 killing of real estate developer Ronald Siepmann stated that Wilson has an active psychotic condition, but that he is likely to regain competency with treatment.
If Wilson, 17, of Fox Point, regains competency, the criminal case against him will proceed. Defendants cannot be prosecuted if they are unable to understand the proceedings against them.
According to the report by Deborah L. Collins, Wilson did not appear to be faking the condition, he had delusional beliefs that were "impermeable to rational information," and he did not appear to fully grasp his circumstances, Waukesha County Circuit Judge William J. Domina said during the hearing.
Based on the report, Domina suspended the criminal proceedings against Wilson and committed him to the state Department of Health Services for treatment.» Read Full Article
Magee principal heads to Germantown School District
Four years after stepping into the role of principal at Magee Elementary School Maria Kucharski has taken a position closer to home at the principal at Amy Belle in Colgate, in the Germantown School District. While Kucharski will end her role as Magee principal at the end of June, she will remain with the Kettle Moraine School District as the Summer Academy Director.
"Four years ago I went through three rigorous and unique interviews and accepted the position of elementary principal at Magee Elementary. Little did I know that over the next few years I would be provided with some of the most exceptional learning and growing opportunities, and that I would work for and with some of the most talented educators I have ever met," Kucharski said in her resignation letter.
Kucharski's decision stemmed from a desire to not only be closer to home, but to also focus solely on her role as principal and a return to graduate school to obtain her curriculum license.
"Magee Elementary is fortunate to have dedicated, passionate and gifted staff members who genuinely care about the students they serve. We are equally fortunate to have parents and community members who support the purpose and vision of our school and who help to make Magee a great place for children to grow and learn," Kucharski said in her letter. "I thank the Kettle Moraine Schools, the teachers and staff … for embracing the charge of transformation, remaining positive in difficult political times, and making a difference for all children. It has been a privilege to work for and with all of you and I hope our paths will continue to cross in the future."
According to Superintendent Pat Deklotz, the process to find the next principal for Magee is under way.» Read Full Article

Mike Bleech: Is a bigger agency more efficient for sportsmen?
Yet again, the state legislature is suggesting that combining the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will result in a more efficient agency.
Sponsored by Rep. Martin Causer, a Republican representing Cameron County, Potter County and part of McKean County, House Resolution No. 129 was nearly unanimously passed for acceptance by the House Game and Fisheries Committee, with the exception of one member who abstained.
Causer is chairman of that committee.
The purpose of the resolution is directing the Legislative and Finance Committee to study the impacts of merging the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and the Pennsylvania Game Commission into one independent agency.
At this point, the issue means little, since the same thing has been done before. Each time, the result has been to leave things as they are.
My first thought upon learning about this resolution was to wonder how much money the state spends on feasibility studies.
How much could have changed since the previous time this issue was considered?
As with all government agencies, the Game Commission and Fish and Boat Commission always seem to be short of money.
But unlike most government agencies, these are independent agencies. Neither uses general tax money. Funds are raised mainly through the sale of licenses, through excise taxes on the sale of related items and by utilizing resources on lands that are managed by the agencies.
On paper, it may appear that combining the agencies would save considerable money by eliminating positions that do the same job, such as law enforcement and some management positions.
The flip side to this is that sportsmen would lose the specialization that allows the high levels of proficiency that we have come to accept.
It may appear that law enforcement is the most logical thing to combine. Since sportsmen are supposed to know the regulations for each agency, along with every other law or regulation for all levels of government, law enforcement officers for both agencies should have little trouble enforcing game, fish and boating laws.
That may be true if not for the other duties law enforcement officers for both agencies are called upon to perform, such as assisting in education and resource management.
Encompassing all is the debate over whether big government is more efficient than small government.
Ask friends who live in New York how they feel about their Department of Environmental Conservation.
Since this issue has a great deal of effect on all sportsmen, it is wise for all sportsmen to let their opinions be known, no matter how they stand.

Stand-alone only?
For this contest, is it alright for a mobile web app to work in conjunction with a non-mobile web app, or must the mobile web app be stand-alone? I ask because I've developed a mobile web app using Sencha Touch that's meant to be used in conjunction with a non-mobile web app I developed using Ext JS; the mobile app does quite a lot, but some things can only be done in the non-mobile app. I can think of other mobile/non-mobile web app pairs like this; for example, some features of Google Reader are only available in the non-mobile version.
20 Oct 2010 11:16 PM #2
Ralph - it doesn't have to be a competely standalone app in the sense of "could this be downloaded by a random person and used". But it should "work" without us needing to install a desktop app just to use it.

And in practice the difference between FUNNELED and SERIALIZED will be
very small. ĀThe differences might emerge from thread-local state and
thread-specific network registration, but I don't see this being
required. ĀHence, for most purposes SINGLE=FUNNELED=SERIALIZED is
equivalent to NOMUTEX and MULTIPLE is MUTEX, where MUTEX refers to the
internal mutex required to make MPI reentrant.

The price at the pump can be a pain.
"Seems like they shouldn't be as high as they are," said Felix Gongora.
"It seems like it does this every holiday season," said Willie Griffen.
In fact in the last week, the price of a gallon of gas has risen eight cents across Texas.
"I drive a F-150 and personally I really hate paying for it because there goes half my paycheck," said Nicole Colunga.
If you drive around town, you can find lower prices, in fact prices can differ by as much as 25 cents a gallon. If you get just 10 gallons of gas, you could save $2.50. That's practically the price of a gallon of gas.
"I just look for the cheapest price I can get. I'm looking for the best deal," said Larry Hubbell.
Right now $2.75 is not the best deal. In fact it's the worst price per gallon we could find in B/CS.
"I drive into town from Grimes Country everyday so I keep a close eye on the gas prices," said Matt Lee who found the cheapest gas in town at the $2.49 a gallon at the HEB at Tower Point.
"Everywhere else it's like $2.69 or above," said Griffen.
But there are some stations that will sell you cheaper gas for a price.
You could get gas at Kroger for 10 cents cheaper than the asking price if you have a Kroger card and spend $100 in groceries. That discount isn't just good at Kroger but also at Shell. But is it worth it?
"I think I'd rather just have the straight low price. I just don't have the time or inclination to carry around a bunch of cards or to hunt and find these places that have the specials. If I can just see the sign on the road that says it's cheaper, that's where I'm going to go," said Lee.
Maybe this is a better deal. At the Exxon on University and Highway 6, you can get gas for just $2.45 a gallon if you get the best car wash it offers. That car wash costs $12.
"I would rather have just a low price without any gimmicks," said Gongora.
Basically it comes down to one thing when it comes to folks filling up their cars.
"Price definitely price," said Colunga.

I connect my iPod and iPad to my computer to charge them. I do not want them to automatically mount on the desktop.
How can I keep using my computers many USB ports for charging without being bothered by auto-mounted devices?
Configuring Automounting
To enable or disable automount open a terminal and type dconf-editor followed by the [Enter] key.
Browse to org.gnome.desktop.media-handling.
The automount key controls whether to automatically mount media. If set to true, then Nautilus will automatically mount media such as user-visible hard disks and removable media on start-up and media insertion.
There is another key org.gnome.desktop.media-handling.automount-open. This controls whether to automatically open a folder for automounted media.
If set to true, then Nautilus will automatically open a folder when media is automounted. This only applies to media where no known x-content/* type was detected; for media where a known x-content type is detected, the user configurable action will be taken instead. This can be configured as shown below.
Taken directly from the ubuntu help page.
A good way to do that is perhaps to block device recognition in udev... Maybe with a rule like this (see this blog post)
The con is that you won't be able to mount your device without removing the rule...
