Law students help state's most vulnerable
by Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-7704
Each year a growing number of Americans face losing their homes, their children and their livelihoods because they don't have the money to hire a lawyer to represent them. Many, however, will be helped by public interest lawyers whose compassion and dedication offer hope and ensure that justice is served.
This summer, three law students at the University of South Carolina learned about public interest law and helped some of South Carolina's most vulnerable citizens as SC Bar Foundation Public Interest Fellows.
Named 2012 fellows, Lon Doles, Allison Rock and Jeff Gurney worked as law clerks for different public interest law organizations.
"My experience at South Carolina Legal Services has certainly reshaped my thoughts on the legal profession," said Doles of Mount Pleasant, S.C. "The clients at SCLS weren't just a name on top of a motion or order to me; they were people I had met or spoken to. There were people that needed and more importantly, deserved legal representation.
"No matter the outcome of a hearing or trial, all of the clients I observed would be so grateful and thank their lawyer profusely. It was an amazing feeling to know that I was able to help, albeit in a small part, these people who would not normally have been able to receive representation."
Doles, 24, said he has experienced every facet of the public law service from attending hearings and drafting pleadings to interviewing clients and helping conduct legal clinics in the community. He said the breadth of legal issues SCLS lawyers handled led him to research all sorts of law including elder, consumer, family, employment and property law.
Rock who worked with South Carolina's Access to Justice, a commission that was created by the S.C. Supreme Court in 2007 to address barriers to legal representation, feels uplifted.
"When you're working for a commission with a mission like that of Access to Justice, it is hard to not feel rewarded when you come into work," said Rock, a native of Greenville. S.C. "Although in the grand scheme of things a research assignment might seem like nothing; in the future, the information collected in that research could be everything to a litigant."
She said helping people who are representing themselves has reaffirmed her goal to pursue family law and to make a difference.
"So much of what Access to Justice works for and what they do appeals to who I am and what I value," said Rock, 22. "Often times in law school, you forget about what you want out of your JD degree because everyone, it seems, is focused on wanting something else. You end up thinking that that's what you want too. Being able to work with Access to Justice has shown me that the many opportunities I originally had gone to law school for exist and are in my reach."
Gurney, a native of Winslow, Maine, said his experience working at the SC Appleseed Legal Justice Center was fulfilling.
"The most rewarding part is knowing that my work is going to assist people who need help," said Gurney, 23. "The fellow experience solidified my desire to work in public interest as an attorney. It has allowed me to pursue my legal goals and to ensure that this is what I want to do with my legal career."
The SC Bar Foundation established the fellows program with the USC School of Law in 2010 to provide clerkship opportunities for students who have an interest in public service and to help S.C. legal service organizations serve disadvantaged citizens.
In July, the School of Law's Pro Bono Program was awarded a $15,000 grant by the S.C. Bar Foundation to continue the fellows program in 2013.
For more than 20 years the School of Law through its Pro Bono Program has distinguished itself for its commitment to foster an ethic of professional obligation to provide public service among law students.
Last fall it launched Carolina Clerks, which matches volunteer law students with South Carolina lawyers who have agreed to represent a pro bono client. Other pro-bono initiatives help people who are homeless, indigent or immigrants, who need to file income taxes, get medical assistance or work with non-profit arts organizations.
Dole, who looks forward to doing more pro bono this academic year, encourages fellow law students to apply for next year's S.C. Bar Foundation Public Interest Fellow Program.
"Not only do you get to work with some of the most skilled and dedicated lawyers the state has to offer, but you also get to help oft-overlooked clients with issues that mean the world to them," he said.

Tama Profy?
Posted 09 October 2011 - 12:55 PM ( #1 )
There's a new Tamagotchi toy (not a virtual pet) linked with the anime called a Tama Profy. It's going to be released on October 31st 2011 (Halloween) at 4,179 ¥. ( Currently $54.48) There's an IR sensor at the top, it might be used with the iD-L.
I don't know much about it yet, I can't read the banners on the Tamagotchi website very well. Would anyone be willing to translate these?

I wish I could translate it for you...
BTW, Can anyone tell how many things you can do on it, and how many games are available?
I was just on ebay again, the live pictures make it look very cute. I will have to wait on it anyway. (I want to see the features, maybe youtube videos)

Well more about the Tama Profy, you have to collect all 120 Tama Hearts. Some are common, some are very rare and only found on a special day or month. To collect them you have to bond Tamagotchis together (I think...). There are 32 Tamagotchi characters on the Tama Profy (all characters from the Tamagotchi iD L). One is set as your main character and one is your Tama-Friend, you have to bond them together till they become friends and make a Tama Heart (Which appears as a floating love heart). You can also change your main character and Tama-Friend any time you like (Like a Tamagotchi School). You can also collect Tama Hearts from playing games, connecting to other Tama Profys, and Tamagotchi iD Ls (Not so sure about this...) and more. There is also a Tamagotchi Profile feature (Where the name Tama Profy comes from) on the Tama Profy, but I don't know much about this feature.
I have also bought a purple Tama Profy and is being shipped to me soon. Oh I almost forgot, there is a legendary Tamagotchi character that appears on Tama Profy that comes from Tama Desert, the mythical heart character Kizunatchi!

I know only a little Japanese, I can recognize some of the characters but I double check myself with a chart. I think it would be easy, one of my friends is planning on getting one with me and she doesn't know and Japanese at all.

Revision as of 23:25, 17 July 2006 by EndreyMark (Talk | contribs)
- A Haskell application for natural language parsing, based on Applicative Universal Grammar (AUG) is described in Mark P. Jones', Paul Hudak's and Sebastian Shaumyan's Using Types to Parse Natural Language. The Haskell source code given by the article is full, it can be run by Gofer, and after a few modification, by GHC too (transpose must be explictly imported from standard library module Data.List, and class Text renamed to Show).

Anemia is a common blood disorder that occurs when there are fewer red blood cells than normal, or there is a low concentration of hemoglobin in the blood.
Anemia is often a symptom of a disease rather than a disease itself. Anemia usually develops due to the presence of one of the following:
Most symptoms of anemia are a result of the decrease of oxygen in the cells or "hypoxia." Because red blood cells, as hemoglobin, carry oxygen, a decreased production or number of these cells result in "hypoxia." Many of the symptoms will not be present with mild anemia, as the body can often compensate for gradual changes in hemoglobin.
The following are the most common symptoms for anemia. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms may include, but are not limited to, the following:
The symptoms of anemia may resemble other blood disorders or medical problems. Because anemia is often a symptom associated with another disease, it is important for your child's physician to be aware of symptoms your child may be experiencing. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Anemia may be suspected from general findings on a complete medical history and physical examination of your child, such as complaints of tiring easily, pale skin and lips, or a fast heartbeat (tachycardia). Anemia is usually discovered during a medical examination through blood tests that measure the concentration of hemoglobin and the number of red blood cells.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for anemia may include:
Generally, anemia may be caused by several problems, including the following:
Specific treatment for anemia will be determined by your child's physician based on the following:
Anemia can be difficult to treat and may include:

While at VMworld 2013, I found myself walking the exhibit hall from one end to the other in search of something new and fresh in the VMware ecosystem. And that's where I came across a company called CloudPhysics.
CloudPhysics, a Mountain View, Calif., startup founded by former VMware employees, rose more than a few eyebrows at the event. The company, which recently closed a $10 million series-B round of funding led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, also counts former VMware co-founders Mendel Rosenblum and Diane Greene among its early individual investors.
[ Also on InfoWorld: VMware refreshes Workstation 10 for Windows 8.1. | CommVault announces VM Archiving to eliminate VM sprawl. | Track the latest trends in virtualization in InfoWorld's Virtualization Report newsletter ]
CloudPhysics was founded in 2011 with the mission to continuously deliver insights to IT teams for actively managing the dynamics of their infrastructures. To achieve that mission, the company has created a SaaS-based offering which automatically uncovers hidden operational hazards before problems emerge and identifies efficiency improvements in storage, compute and networking within VMware workloads.
While visiting the company's booth, Krishna Raj Raja, a former VMware engineer who is now a founding team member at CloudPhysics, explained to me how the company's platform takes a new and interesting approach to IT infrastructure monitoring.
CloudPhysics is aggregating more than 80 billion anonymous data points a day from virtualized environments being monitored around the world. The cloud-based service collects information on virtualized system configurations and accumulates that knowledge to help guide new deployments. By analyzing the data, CloudPhysics can identify effective configurations of virtual server, storage, and networking resources.
Raja says his company specialized in collecting metadata from the data center, so it could analyze and provide insight, intelligence, and prescriptive advice about the data center after studying the data that was collected.
Beyond simple monitoring and reporting found in other tools, CloudPhysics takes things a step further by applying big data analytics to the data being collected, so it can also identify potentially problematic configurations before a problem occurs. CloudPhysics monitoring can also provide a health check on the environment and warn of bugs, firmware or hardware incompatibilities, guest tool mismatch, and other problems.
Along the way, the company has also built up a knowledgebase that CEO and co-founder John Blumenthal claims can lead to "Google-like operations excellence" for virtualized enterprise data centers. The intelligence delivered out of CloudPhysics can help admins avoid many of the data center problems caused by human error.
To make things easier and more intuitive, the CloudPhysics user interface is composed of something called "cards," each of which is a highly focused app that solves a particular IT operations problem.

Padres' Erlin gets first win out of way
Right-hander strong for five as Missions power past Hooks
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | May 6, 2012 4:15 PM ET
How he fared against Singleton on Sunday afternoon typified his latest start and his season thus far. And in Erlin's eyes, that means mixed results.
Falling behind in the count but charging back with more strikes than balls, the Padres' No. 6 prospect struck out six over five innings to earn his first win of 2012 in the Double-A Missions' 10-0 shutout of the Corpus Christi Hooks.
Erlin retired the first seven Hooks he faced before issuing a walk, the first of his three for the game, in the third. The 21-year-old left-hander also pitched around a pair of two-out singles by Jose Martinez and Jonathan Villar.
MLB.com's No. 99 overall prospect threw 99 total pitches. He delivered a first-pitch strike to half of his 22 batters.
"I would evaluate [myself] based on the execution of pitches, and today was OK," said Erlin, who recorded 10 groundouts. "There were some things I improved on from my last outing and some things I didn't. I felt like I had a better feel for off-speed [pitches], but I lacked a little bit of fastball command.
"I really just tried to keep the ball down. Pitching in Corpus Christi, it's easier to put the ball out to left, so I was trying to keep the ball down."
The batter who posed the greatest threat to put the ball out to right, left-handed hitting Singleton, struck out twice on nine total pitches in their first- and fourth-inning matchups: Erlin fell behind 1-0 in the former, then 2-0 in the latter before righting the count in his favor.
Then with the game in hand for the Missions in the fifth, Erlin faced Singleton a third time and was simply attempting to pitch into the sixth for just the second time in his six outings this season.
It didn't happen. Singleton, Houston's No. 1 prospect and the owner of a .309 batting average, ended a 10-pitch battle by earning a base on balls.
"I knew my pitch count was getting up there," Erlin said. "I wanted to get ahead of him and end the at-bat with as few pitches as possible. He was trying to get back into the count, and he did."
A 2009 third-round draftee of the Rangers and trade deadline casualty last July, Erlin has nevertheless compiled a 2.20 ERA and a 36-to-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 28 2/3 frames. He posted similar numbers -- 1.38 ERA and 31-to-4 in 26 -- in his first six starts at San Antonio last season after coming over from Texas.
"There's been some positives and some negatives," Erlin said of his 2012 in-progress. "I haven't been really executing my pitches as well as as I would like. I'll [need] to have a quality bullpen [session] to tune up and gain the confidence I need in my pitches."
His position-playing teammates, however, could probably skip batting practice. The Missions pushed across at least one run in six of the game's first seven innings. Third-place hitter Jedd Gyorko started the scoring with his first-inning solo blast against Jake Buchanan. Gyorko, the Padres' No. 4 prospect, has three homers over his last four games and six overall.
Jason Hagerty and Nathan Freiman also went yard off Buchanan, while Cody Decker doubled, singled and plated two runs -- all within the first five innings.
"It was very comforting to have that run support early in the game," Erlin said. "Our offense has been battling early in the season and things are starting to click."
Freiman, who singled home two more in the sixth, went 3-for-5 with a game-high five RBIs. He leads the Texas League in longballs (11) and total bases (77) and is second in RBIs (26) through 29 games.
"He's definitely a very good hitter and he goes up there with a plan," Erlin said of his teammate. "It's something that I recognize from the pitching side, [that] this guy has always been a tough out because he lets the ball get so deep that he can recognize pitches."
Missions relievers Jeff Ibarra and Robert Lara combined on the game's final three innings to ensure the shutout.
Buchanan (1-2) was charged with seven runs on nine hits over four innings.

I want Twins
Is their anyway to increase the changes of multiples? My fiancée has twins and so does my brother, any chance of it happening to me? I would love that!!
12th July 2014 04:37 AM #2
Hi sonybopper,
Twins are more likely in women aged over 35 years of age although after this age it is unfortunately also more difficult to conceive and the chance of miscarriage is higher as well as the chance of the baby being born with a syndrome such as Down Syndrome.
There is thought to be a genetic factor involved in the likelihood of conceiving twins. However, current evidence points that it is if the woman has a family history of twins then it becomes more likely that she herself will conceive twins.
Women who are on fertility treatment are also more likely to conceive twins, however, this does not mean that it is a certainty.
Does this answer your questions?
Warm wishes,

Can you get hot flashes during pregnancy?
Well I have to ask can you experience hot flashes while you are pregnant? I am not sure, but there are times when I am hot, but I never have a fever or anything. I do not go back to my doctor for another week, but I am about 29 weeks along, so I am close to having the baby. I don't maybe it is just me or something like that. There are even times like yesterday I was needing air and the heat was not even on. I am worried, but I cannot do much when my husband is at work. I may have to go back and get seen early. Can you ladies help me out a little? Maybe that can save me the trip.

I don't know about any of the other mums on here, but I had hot flashes throughout all of my pregnancies. I have them during breastfeeding as well, though less frequently. I would imagine it is a normal response to hormones, not to mention the fact that our bodies are working a lot harder to pump blood during pregnancy.
18th January 2012 07:06 AM #3
During pregnancy your core body temperature increases - so it is common to feel hot. However hot flushes are really common however after birth and they are a response to hormones.

Yes, you experience those because of the hormones. I have read my maternal & child book that especially during the 3rd trimester, you would feel really hot. Your body's temperature rises. I remember when I was on the 3rd trimester already, I take a bath around 2am because the water's really cold and I really like it because it's so soothing and cooling for me.

I had hot flashes and it is perfectly normal to experience during pregnancy. It is because of the drop of estrogen levels. Changing hormone levels can increase blood flow to your skin, making you feel warm and flushed. You have to follow few tips to handle the situation. Make sure to sleep in a cool place, protect yourself from the sun, avoid alcohol and caffeine.

I practice counseling that engages the spiritual life of my clients and that enables them to draw strength from God . The whole therapeutic process intends to honor the being and values of the client, sometimes reminding them of biblical parables and the context of Jesus as healer, but never tryng to steer them toward my personal beliefs. I have had great success using this approach, and have had clients be very comfortable with it. I should note that I also work with clients of other faiths and of no faith, who are aware that I am a Christian and a minister, but who also feel respected.

Student Animal Alliance gets creative in heightening awareness
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 7:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 7:09 p.m.
The Student Animal Alliance at the University of Florida is determined to raise awareness on issues of animal testing in research and the general mistreatment of animals.
To do so, they've been at Turlington Plaza in recent days offering free makeovers using vegan makeup and cosmetic products.
On Monday and Tuesday, they'll be giving away Tofurkey and vegan holiday recipe booklets.
Allison Dale, a 20-year-old UF sophomore geology major, is a member of the alliance and was among those giving free makeovers outside Turlington as part of Cruelty-Free Days, an event the organization holds to raise awareness about animal testing.
Students stopping by the alliance's display were given the choice of a variety of cosmetic products, hair and body products, and fabrics -- all of which were vegan-friendly and not tested on animals.
Dani Russell, 19, a UF sophomore and nutrition and dietetics major, went under the brush with a sample of Black Radiance Liquid Eyeliner.
"I'm not a big makeup wearer," Russell said. "I know what brands to look out for if I ever need to purchase makeup."
The display of cruelty-free products ranged from e.l.f. Liquid Lipsticks and Eyeshadow Palettes to White Rain shampoos and conditioners.
Nexus, e.l.f. Cosmetics and Urban Decay are just a few of the companies that don't test on animals, the alliance says. A complete list of vegan companies was shown next to the display of makeup and cosmetics. The starred companies on the list, which include Bazil Essentials and Be Natural Organics, are completely animal-friendly/vegan, according to the alliance.
The unstarred companies on the list make some products that contain animal products. Wet n Wild, a popular cosmetic brand known for its vibrant lip glosses, for instance, carries some products that contain carmine, a red coloring derived from the female cochineal beetle, the alliance says. Carmine can also be found in certain candies, food and beauty products.
Dale cautioned women to double-check the ingredients in beauty products before making a purchase. Dale said after she became a vegan, she started to switch out makeup brands for companies that do not test on animals.
"We have a lot of other ways to test makeup," Dale said. "Science is coming up with ways to create synthetic tissues for testing."
Matt Binder, 21, a UF senior double-majoring in English and philosophy, is president of the Student Animal Alliance said he has had his own experiences with veganism that influenced his involvement in the organization.
"I turned vegan because I saw a video called "Earthlings," which is about factory farming," Binder said.
Binder said his participation in "Hug a Vegetarian Day" four years ago sparked his involvement with the Student Animal Alliance, which has been participating in Cruelty-Free Days for the past three years.
"My favorite part is when people get makeovers," Binder said. "It gives them the chance to sit down with one of us doing makeup and they get to directly experience a variety of products."
Binder said he wasn't surprised that many students did not know the term vegan could be applied to makeup and cosmetics.
"Food is definitely the original and most common use and conception of the term vegan," Binder said. "But it can be applied to all aspects of life where potential animal suffering caused (by) actions and/or purchases is avoided."
The alliance also does local volunteer work with places like Rooterville, a rescued animal sanctuary mainly consisting of pot-bellied pigs, Gainesville Rabbit Rescue, and Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary.
"The goal is to encourage people not to support these industries. And in doing so to encourage the industries not to support animal testing," Binder said.

text: The gate has been opened. Fight fans around the world have been mesmerized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Pride Fighting Championship and King of the Cage. We now present to you America's premiere promotion: Hook N Shoot! When Hook N Shoot promoter Jeff Osborne suggested the idea of an all-woman's Mixed Martial Arts event, he was met with negative criticism. On April 13, 2002, the critics were instantly silenced with the help of 14 female fighters. With the world watching, Hook N Shoot became the first promotion in the world to sanction woman's MMA with the help of the Shooto promotion in Japan. Spectators who showed up expecting "Foxy Boxing" and "catfighting" were stunned. The woman of MMA proved to be the athletes of tomorrow and delivered the ultimate in real fighting. Hook N Shoot broke new ground in the sport of MMA once again. The athletes came from around the world and turned the heads of fighting insiders, current fans and future spectators around the world.

Hydatid mole; Molar pregnancy
Hydatidiform mole, or molar pregnancy, results from over-production of the tissue that is supposed to develop into the placenta. The placenta feeds the fetus during pregnancy. With a molar pregnancy, the tissues develop into an abnormal growth, called a mass.
There are two types:
Both forms are due to problems during fertilization. The exact cause of fertilization problems is unknown. A diet low in protein, animal fat, and vitamin A may play a role.
A pelvic examination may show signs similar to a normal pregnancy, but the size of the womb may be abnormal and the baby's heart sounds are absent. There may be some vaginal bleeding.
A pregnancy ultrasound will show an abnormal placenta with or without some development of a baby.
Tests may include:
If your doctor suspects a molar pregnancy, a suction curettage (D and C) may be performed.
A hysterectomy may be an option for older women who do not wish to become pregnant in the future.
After treatment, serum HCG level will be followed. It is important to avoid pregnancy and to use a reliable contraceptive for 6 - 12 months after treatment for a molar pregnancy. This allows for accurate testing to be sure that the abnormal tissue does not grow back. Women who get pregnant too soon after a molar pregnancy have a high risk of having another molar pregnancy.
More than 80% of hydatidiform moles are benign (noncancerous). Treatment is usually successful. Close follow-up by your doctor is important. After treatment, use effective contraception for at least 6 - 12 months to avoid pregnancy.
In some cases, hydatidiform moles develop into invasive moles. These can grow deep into the uterine wall and cause bleeding or other complications.
In a few cases, a hydatidiform mole develops into a choriocarcinoma. This is a fast-growing cancerous form of gestational trophoblastic disease.
Lung problems may occur after a D and C if the mother's uterus is larger than 16 weeks gestational size.
Complications of molar pregnancy include:
Complications related to the surgery to remove a molar pregnancy include:

Investors urged to stay the course
(Cleveland) – Financial markets settled down friday after the turbulence caused by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's admission that the central bank may be done with its monetary stimulus next year.
Kevin Myeroff of NCA Financial Planners in Cleveland says investors have no reason to panic, stock values remain high dispite the recent selloff.
Myeroff tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that investors should just ride out the storm, because the economy is continuing to improve.
On Wednesday, Bernanke said the Fed's bond purchases would likely slow down this year and end in 2014. That admission prompted widespread concerns among investors, who have grown used to the central bank's money-creation policies over the past few years.
The new money the Fed has created through its bond-buying program over nearly five years has been designed to shore up the U.S. economy.
The prospect that the policy will be unwound sooner than many investors thought prompted big moves late Wednesday and Thursday despite U.S. economic data pointing to a solid recovery. Stocks, government bonds, in particular U.S. treasuries, got hammered, while the dollar surged.

Large plants can produce more than 25000 seeds, distributed by floating on water or in the mud adhering to animals,vehicles and machinery.Parthenium is popularly known as Congress weeds, White top, Star weed, Carrot weed, Gajar ghas, Ramphool, Feverfew etc. Adverse effects of Parthenium on humans as well as on animals have been well documented. It is known to cause asthma, bronchitis, dermatitis and hay-fever in man and livestock.
Parthenium is a curse for the bio-diversity .Chemical analysis has indicated that all the plant parts including trichomes and pollen contain toxins called sesquiterpene lactones. The major component of these toxins being parthenin and other phenolic acids such as caffeic acid, vanillic acid, anisic acid, chlorogenic acid, parahydroxy benzoic acid and p-anisic acid are lethal to humans and animals. Parthenium was accidentally introduced in India in around 1956 and has since spread over most part of the country. Parthenium now occurs throughout the tropical and subtropical America from southern United States of America to southern Brazil and to Northern Argentina.%

FBI investigating Chillicothe Police
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (WTVN) -- The FBI has launched a federal investigation into an incident involving the Chillicothe Police Department.
Matt Mitchell was seriously injured when a Chillicothe Police officer body slammed him while he was in a holding area of the Ross County Jail. Video of the April incident shows that Mitchell was handcuffed at the time. He had been arrested for DUI and had become combative in the police cruiser before arriving at the jail.
An internal investigation by Chillicothe Police, the law director, and mayor found no wrong-doing by Sgt. Christopher Dubay.
"If an outside agency wants to come in and give an expert look by their department, in this case it's the Department of Justice, we'll welcome that analysis," said Mayor Jack Everson.
The mayor says he's only aware of the Mitchell incident being under investigation by the FBI. He believes the federal agency was contacted by Mitchell's attorney, Bret Adams.
"We did not initiate any investigation with the Department of Justice or the FBI," said Adams who believes this investigation is into more cases than just that of his client's.
"One doesn't get a call from the Department of Justice about an isolated case involving the violation of civil rights," Adams said.
Adams says Mitchell has more than $50,000 in medical bills and is being evaluated for brain injuries from the incident. He's hopeful that having an outside, independent look at the case will result in a different outcome than the internal investigation.
"It's really difficult to say that the investigation of the Chillicothe Police was fair in that it was done by their own department," he said.
Everson says the situation was reviewed by the officer that does training on take-downs who also deemed that nothing improper had happened.
"If there's something wrong with our procedures we want to become aware of them and adjust them," he said.
"I think it will bring credibility, ultimately, to the situation that it was handled right and that we did everything within guidelines and regulations," said Everson.
The FBI isn't commenting on the case because it's an on-going investigation.

Report: Mariah Carey drops Randy Jackson as manager
Listen to Mariah Carey on iHeartRadio
The diva drama on "American Idol" may have caused permanent damage to Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson's business relationship. "Showbiz 411" is reporting that the star has inked a new deal with Red Light Management and Jackson is no longer serving as her manager.
The longtime "Idol" judge has been involved in Mariah's career since the 90s and was the one to help sign her reported 18 million dollar contract for this past season.
The two haven't indicated any tension on screen, but Mariah is rumored to be upset with Fox's handling of her clash with fellow judge Nicki Minaj.
The "American Idol" finale will air next Wednesday and Thursday.

To delve deeper into our coverage of the 2012 COTE Top Ten Awards, ECO-STRUCTURE asked the winning firms to detail their experiences with sustainable design. These offices didn't just happen upon a winning scheme—rather, they're all well-versed in making high-performance strategies an integral part of each project. Below we take a closer look at some of the core values that shape each firm's ethos.
Location: Duluth, Minn.
Principal: David D. Salmela, FAIA
Founded: 1994
Size: 3.5 employees
Little-known fact: "We are a small design firm yet do nearly all of our construction documents."
What was the biggest lesson you learned from your 2012 COTE Top Ten Project, the classroom building at the University of Minnesota, Duluth?
David Salmela: The best case is when the client is the proponent of sustainability but wants the architecture to advance and have effect on the architectural vocabulary.
What insights from this and other sustainable projects would you share with other professionals?
It takes a lot of time to achieve sustainable goals within high design standards.
What is your firm's philosophy on sustainable design?
We have always supported sustainable principles and try to do as much as we can within the budget of the project.
What kinds of sustainable solutions are non-negotiable for your firm? What are the baseline standards your firm aims to meet with every project?
All projects should have a sustainable explanation. The reduction of the telescoping of cold through structure is a necessary mean in our northern climate.
How do you think these types of innovative green solutions might become standard?
Future good clients will demand green solutions that are realistic and achievable.
More information about the classroom building at the University of Minnesota, Duluth is available here.

Up to now you could run any Linux distribution on Amazon EC2, but you could only run Amazon's 2.6.16 kernel. Well strictly speaking there are two kernels: a 188.8.131.52 kernel for the 32-bit instances and a 184.108.40.206 kernel for the 64-bit instances. But recently Red Hat announced support for RHEL5 on EC2, and today they made it available publicly. The kernel you get if you launch its paid AMI (machine image) is "Linux version 2.6.18-53.el5xen (firstname.lastname@example.com)." Long story short, Amazon now has the capability of running multiple kernels on the instances, but alas this is not yet available to mere mortals (i.e. non-Red Hat). But hopefully wider availability of new kernels isn't too far off. It's nice to see EC2 evolving steadily.
If you're interested in all the gory technical details, see my post on the Amazon forum.

A French translation of this letter was sent to Cherubini, but he returned no answer.
In 1825 his father took him to Paris to consult Cherubini, as to his future.
Cherubini, fretted and irritated by his condition, retired for a time from the pursuit of his art, and devoted himself to flowers.
Neither would he confer upon Cherubini the honor refused by Mehnl.
For a great many years past no manager but myself has given performances of Cherubini's Medea.
He was received with great kindness by every one, but especially by Cherubini.
At this critical moment another kidnapped player thrust a violin in Cherubini's hands and persuaded him to yield.
The slight he received from Cherubini aroused popular sympathy for him.
Posterity has scarcely endorsed Beethoven's dictum, but it is impossible to ignore the beauty of Cherubini's work.
Where would they not go," answered Cherubini, "led by such a hero as you?

Lily Tomlin is in a curious chapter of her career. The veteran comic master has won six Emmys, two Tonys and a Grammy. Her crowded resume spans nearly half a century, from "Laugh-In" in the late 1960s to co-star billing with Reba McEntire in the new ABC series "Malibu Country."
As she revealed Saturday to a full house at Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Hall, Tomlin isn't interested at the moment in putting on a tightly structured live show like she did for years with "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe." Though her old characters still appear regularly, she's in a more ruminative and confessional frame of mind these days as she talks of generational paradigm shifts, her aging body, retirement and other things a younger Tomlin wouldn't touch.
Tomlin allows herself to ramble a bit. She takes tangents. She'll fumble a routine, tell us exactly how she screwed up, and chuckle at her ineptitude. Behind the laughs, there's a bit of wistfulness and a more candid and intimate tone to her stories and characters.
Tomlin pokes fun at her audience, which would be a dangerous thing for a less beloved and skilled comic to do. She talks of her parents tenderly, even her rough-around-the-edges, hard-drinking father, an unreconstructed hillbilly. Tomlin came out in 2001, and she takes a few potshots at straight people and their prejudices, overt and implied.
I've seen this mixture of casualness and mastery before. Hal Holbrook has it when he performs as Mark Twain. So did Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby and other artists who, late in their careers, seemed to be succeeding without even trying. Like them, Tomlin is comfortable in her own skin; she acknowledges and even celebrates her flaws and flubs.
But more important, she's one of the funniest women you'll ever see on a stage. She still throws out non-sequiturs that are suitable for framing. Some are old, some new:
"Before anyone gets their own reality show, they should prove that they're in touch with reality."
"What is reality anyway? Just a collective hunch."
"Pot is really beneficial for people with Alzheimer's – or at least for helping you remember the first time you heard The Doors."
Classic Tomlin characters still make appearances, of course: Edith Ann, the precocious little girl who ends provocative statements with flabby raspberries; Ernestine, the uptight telephone operator who gets a sexual charge out of being mean to people; Mrs. Judith Beasley, the housewife from Calumet City, Ill. who offers "good consumer advice" in a grating voice; Trudy, the savvy homeless woman who is constantly comparing notes on humanity with her "space chums."
Even more enjoyable to some old-time Tomlin fans were her forays into autobiography. To hear Tomlin describe it, growing up in a ramshackle apartment building in Detroit was the happiest childhood imaginable. The place was full of characters – raw material for the budding comic's later use.
Tomlin's show was augmented by a few vintage clips and family photos, though the projected images weren't working well at first. No matter; she turned the mishaps into yet another opportunity for impromptu humor. The videos reminded us of Tomlin's remarkable versatility as a creator of fully realized characters. Her drag roles are uncannily good. We got a taste of two tasteless male crooners, one white, the other black: Tommy Velour and Pervis Hawkins.
Tomlin revealed some fascinating details about her process during a post-performance Q&A. For example, the character of Edith Ann was honed after a chance meeting in a hotel lobby with a little girl who had a speech impediment.
As with all enduring and widely admired performers, there's something bigger going on underneath Tomlin's characters, routines and clever improvised banter. Tomlin is a keen observer of life's absurdities and injustices, big and small. With the assistance of her longtime partner, Jane Wagner, she has created a body of work that's remarkable for its degree of deep humanity and love of people. Tomlin might be the last to admit it, but she long ago achieved the status of comic treasure. Of course, if you tried to tell her, she'd come up with 10 self-deprecating put-downs before you could draw another breath.

Stu Varney Hated Oil Subsidies Before He Loved Them
Fox News' business commentator Stuart Varney scolded President Obama yesterday [1] for saying that oil companies enjoy "subsidies" at the expense [2] of taxpayers. We shouldn't use the word "subsidies," Varney said, because they're actually tax breaks. He added: "Drilling deductions are an encouragement to drill. Take them away? Less encouragement. Less drilling":
Varney felt so strongly about this purported distinction between subsidies and tax breaks that he also uploaded a YouTube video [3] rehashing his point: "Let's be very clear. It is not a subsidy."
But Fox News has not been consistent [4] on Varney's definition of "subsidy," to say [5] the least [6]. As it turns out, neither has Varney himself.
Less than a year ago, Varney not only called the oil tax breaks [7] "subsidies," he agreed we need to "get rid of them" and specifically rejected the notion that oil companies would be less inclined to drill without the tax preferences:
That was April 2011. Two months later, Varney was calling oil subsidies "wonderful [8]," and now he's quibbling about the definition of "subsidy," echoing the talking points of the American Petroleum Institute [9]. Quite a reversal.

Tornados drop two on Senior Day to Catawba and LimestoneOctober 29, 2011
Morrison, Rogers, Osby, Smatana and Stevenson play final match in Boshamer
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados recognized seniors Bethany Stevenson, Cassie Smatana, Jordei Osby, Ashlie Morrison and Lindsey Rogers after the Tri-Match on Saturday as Brevard fell on Senior Day to Catawba and Limestone in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Catawba defeated Limestone in the second match of the afternoon to go undefeated on the day to improve to 18-6 on the season, while the split leaves Limestone with a 15-15 overall record.
Match One: Catawba 3, Brevard 0 (25-11, 25-21, 25-10)
Box Score
Morrison led Brevard (6-22, 0-16 SAC) with nine kills, while Kortney Conner and Rogers had 12 digs apiece, but Kaitlyn Whitmer led all players with 10 kills as the Indians defeated the Tornados in straight sets in the first match of the day.
The Indians scored the first six points of the match and nine of the first 10 in building a 14-3 lead after a block by Emily Richardson and Shay Meeks. Brevard battled back on kills by Conner and Morrison, but the comeback fell short as the Indians took the first set 25-11.
The Tornados battled back in the second set, cutting the score to 13-12 following a Morrison kill and continued to keep the set close late in the match behind kills by Morrison and Taryn Gmitroski to cut the score to 22-20, but a BC attack error gave the Indians the second set, 25-21.
The Indians again jumped ahead in the third set, scoring 13 of the first 16 points on their way to closing out the match with the 25-10 victory.
Match Two: Catawba 3, Limestone 1 (27-29, 25-16, 25-15, 25-14)
Box Score
Richardson and Jordan Raye helped the Indians bounce back from a first set defeat and Shay Meeks added nine kills as Catawba overcame an 18 kill performance by Jordan Preville in defeating the Saints in four sets.
Catawba held the 17-12 advantage in the first set following a Raye kill, but Limestone battled back scoring six of the next seven points to tie the match up at 18 apiece on a kill by Holli Dawson. Neither team was able to build more than a one point advantage the rest of the way before back-to-back kills by Preville gave the Saints the hard-fought 29-27 set win.
Limestone again battled back to tie up the second set at 10 apiece, but the Indians went on a 7-0 run to build a 17-12 advantage on their way to evening up the match after Richardson's kill gave Catawba the 25-16 victory.
A late 6-0 run in the third set gave the Indians the 2-1 advantage as Raye closed out the 25-15 set with a kill, while Raye and Taylor Doss recorded the block to end the match in the fourth set, capping off the 25-14 victory.
Match Three: Limestone 3, Brevard 1 (25-19, 22-25, 25-19, 25-19)
Box Score
Morrison recorded a team high 11 kills in her final match in Boshamer Gymnasium and Conner added 10, but Preville continued to have the hot hand for the Saints with a match high 19 kills as Limestone defeated the Tornados in four sets.
A 5-0 run midway through the first set, capped by a Brittany Henderson kill gave the Saints the 15-8 advantage, but a late comeback by the Tornados led by an Erin Cox point fell short as Limestone struck first with the 25-19 victory.
The Saints built a 16-9 lead before the Tornados started their largest comeback of the game, scoring nine of the next 11 points behind six combined blocks to even the score at 18 apiece and a kill by Conner gave Brevard their first advantage of the game at 19-18. With the score tied at 22 apiece, the Tornados closed out set with a Morrison kill, a Cox ace and a Limestone error to even the match at 1 apiece.
The third set remained up for grabs at 19-18 after a Cox service ace, but the Danielle Seibert and Henderson combined for a block, starting a 6-1 run to close out the set on a Preville kill to give Limestone the 25-19 victory.
In the final set a late Brevard comeback sparked by a trio of Morrison kills fell short as Kassie Boedeker closed out the set with a kill to end the match, 25-19.
The Tornados return to the road next weekend as they travel to Harrogate, Tenn. to take on South Atlantic Conference opponent Lincoln Memorial on Friday, November 4th. First serve between the Tornados and the Railsplitters is set for 6:30 p.m.

Kimi Räikkönen
I've never been to Korea, but it doesn't make a difference for me. Since I was very young I have always been able to pick up circuits very quickly. We'll have to wait until the first laps of FP1 on Friday to get to grips with the circuit. Hopefully we will have normal weather there and will not miss any track time on Friday because of rain or technical issues.
Romain Grosjean
Since Singapore, I've been trying to be really cautious at the starts and it's been all the more frustrating to be involved in an incident in Japan. I've sat down and looked at things again with the team; for sure it's still an area we need to improve. We're clearly focusing on this area for the next races.
Eric Boullier
I think the nearer we get to the end of the season, the more difficult it will be to achieve top results. We need to stay united though, stay focused on our job and get both of our cars into the points. We also need to add performance to the E20 so we are not having to trade paint with Ferrari, but are well ahead of
them on the track instead.

On Track
Turn 1
High braking demands in the latter part of Turn 1 can potentially make life difficult for the drivers at the start of the race, when the cars are at their heaviest and tyres at their coolest.
Approaching Turn 3
Over 300kph is reached on the approach to Turn 3 before heavy braking into this tight right-hander. higher speeds could be attained on this long straight, however wing levels required for the remainder of the lap mean that maximum velocity is constrained by drag and gearing.
Turns 4 – 6
More heavy braking demands here after a significant straight leading into the slowest section of the track, where good low speed change of direction and mechanical grip are required.
Turns 7 – 13
Turns 7-13 are quite long, sweeping corners, relying on good downforce and balance from the car. Turn 8 is the fastest point – taken at almost 300kph – before heading to the slower turns 9 and 10. overall quite a satisfying section of race track for the drivers.
Turns 14 –18
Good change of direction is again required from the car through this sequence – which bears a striking resemblance to Valencia – with the walls being close enough to punish any mistake. Turn 17 is particularly important, requiring good exit speed heading on to the start / finish straight.
Turn 17
Turn 17 is actually quite high speed heading on to the first straight.

"I just turned around to make sure [it was a goal] and I saw Jay McKee and Teppo [Numminen] coming after me like crazy men, like they were going to kill me.

Greeneville, Tenn. - The Tornados challenged early and often but the Pioneers found the back of the net as Brevard fell in South Atlantic Conference action on Wednesday evening at Pioneer Field, 3-0.
Lizzie Graham and Bailey Varley attacked first for the Tornados (2-7, 0-4 SAC) in the 20th minute, but Graham saw her shot blocked and Varley's offering was saved by Tusculum (5-3, 1-0 SAC) goalkeeper Marissa Williams, as the Pioneers were first to score in the match as Michelle Meade took advantage of a miscue in the Tornados backline to place a shot in the upper left corner of the net to put the Pioneers up 1-0 at the 33:45 mark.
Jamie Bundy nearly matched the score a minute later as the sophomore from Platte City, Mo. launched a free kick from 40 yards out that cleared the defenders and nearly found the net before a leaping Williams tipped the ball away, ending the threat.
The Pioneers extended their lead in the second half after a Brevard penalty in the goalkeeper box gave Tusculum a free kick and Claire Duncan drilled it home at the 52:34 mark to put the hosts up 2-0.
Tusculum added to the total as Patience Leonard received passes from Nikki Arthur and Jenique Thombs and beat BC goalkeeper Brittany Webster at the 77:01 mark to put the Pioneers up 3-0.
Bundy and Varley added shots in the final ten minutes in attempt to put Brevard on the scoreboard, but their shots were turned aside by Williams as the Tornados fell on the road in conference action, 3-0.
Brevard returns home to the BC Soccer Field as they welcome SAC rival Mars Hill College on Saturday, October 1st. Kickoff between the Tornados and the Lions is set for 4 p.m.

Toshiba has announced the launch of a 128GB embedded NAND flash memory module, which it claims is the highest capacity yet achieved in the industry. The module is compliant with the latest eMMC standard, and is designed for application in a wide range of digital consumer products including smartphones, tablet PCs and digital video cameras, the vendor said.
Toshiba said samples of the new 128GB embedded devices will be available from September, and mass production will start in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Toshiba's 128GB NAND flash module integrates 16 64-gigabit (equal to 8GB) NAND chips fabricated with its 32nm process technology, and a dedicated controller into a small package only 17x22 x1.4mm. Toshiba claimed it is the first company to succeed in combining 16 64Gb NAND chips, and applied advanced chip thinning and layering technologies to realize individual chips that are only 30 micrometers thick.
Toshiba now offers a line-up of single-package embedded NAND flash memory in densities from 2GB to 128GB. They integrate a controller to manage basic control functions for NAND applications, and are compatible with the JEDEC eMMCTM Version 4.4 and its features. New samples of 64GB chips will also be available from August.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Admittedly this new neighborhood café's Cuban specialties are spotlighted only at lunchtime, when Cuban-American co-owner Margarita Vasallo is the kitchen dominatrix. Although the menu is limited to sandwiches, starters, and a few full-size entrées, all items are of high quality -- and are the real thing. Dishes include several typical Cuban beef cuts, a fish and soup of the day, and one or two more labor-intensive Cuban specials -- perhaps hefty rabo encendido or ropa vieja. Any deviations from tradition are imaginative improvements, such as pan con bistec ($5.95 to $6.95) served with a choice of three steaks (palomilla, breaded palomilla, or churrasco), topped with fashionable mixed-veggie Terra Stix instead of canned potato sticks, and accompanied by a mesclun, rather than iceberg lettuce, side salad. The $3.50 serving of sopa de pollo (richly flavorful broth packed with poultry, calabaza, corn on the cob, and much more) is to normal chicken soup as the University of Miami's bulked-up ibis is to Tweety Bird. And the impossibly creamy house croquetas ($1.50 each) are nothing short of a ticket to Heaven for the price of a bus ride.
In the beer wasteland that is South Florida, Ray Rigazio owns an oasis: the Abbey Brewing Company. Since taking the helm in 1995, he has worked hard to make this microbrewery nothing like a typical South Beach bar. He rid the door of snobbery and, more important, the refrigerators of quotidian beers. In their place chills an eclectic selection of brews from around the world, including the hard-to-find La Fin du Monde. His own recipes are not brewed on the premises but by Key West and Ybor City brewing companies, and Rigazio's calorie-rich assortment of ales packs a punch. His Father Theodore's Imperial Stout won a gold medal at this year's Best Florida Beer Championships in Tampa, and his Belgian-style Brother Ban's Double snagged the silver.
What is your greatest triumph?
I think the greatest triumph Ive achieved is bringing great crafted beer to South Florida. When I came here twelve years ago, the best beer you could get was maybe a common import. Now I see dozens and dozens of restaurants carrying great microbeers and hundreds of thousands of people drinking them.
Nowadays the 210-acre enclave south of Fifth Street, which used to be a no man's land populated by graffiti and panhandlers, is indisputably Myles Chefetz's land. The Miami native has marked his territory with four of the most popular restaurants in Miami Beach -- Nemo, Big Pink, Shoji Sushi, and Prime One Twelve. When Chefetz, a former real estate attorney, opened Nemo, his first South Florida spot, in 1995, it shared space with a boarded-up crack house. The area has improved, but it seems nothing can deter his insatiable appetite for accomplishing what he set out to do. Not even Mother Nature. Even without power in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, his crew was still at it, slinging burgers off a grill set up on a Second Street sidewalk.
What is your greatest triumph?
That's a pretty general question. I mean, there are a lot of them. To be able to loan my family money when they need it. How about to be able to loan my family money when they need it -- without interest!
The Argentines have tasty empanadas, wonderful chorizos, delightful sweetbreads, and charming ceviches. But let's quickly establish one thing: A true Argentine culinary experience is a steak-eating experience. Argentina is, after all, a place where eating a decent rib eye is a birthright. For the penultimate carnivore splurge in South Florida, head to The Knife in Coconut Grove. With its thriving community of exiled Argentines, the Magic City has numerous parillas that serve heaping platters of red meat. But what is extra-special about The Knife -- a bright, airy, no-frills upstairs joint with a giant barbecue pit in the middle -- is the price. For $23.85 at dinnertime Monday through Thursday, and $25.95 Friday through Sunday, or for even less at lunchtime ($17.95 Monday through Friday, $20.95 on weekends), you can chow on as much churrasco, strip steak, and filet mignon as you want. It will tempt you, but don't waste stomach space on the bread: Your meal also includes unlimited trips to the salad bar, as well as a beverage (two glasses of beer or one bottle of wine per person), dessert, and coffee (you will need this, trust us). All in all, for anyone who likes steak, a trip to The Knife is a mind- and stomach-expanding experience. It's open late -- from noon till 11:00 p.m. on weekdays, till midnight on weekends.
Le Boudoir is sort of a stealth bakery. It looks like a café, is self-labeled a tea salon, and has a menu mainly devoted to elegant Parisian-style sandwiches and salads. But the sandwiches' astonishingly good bread serves notice that baked goods are truly taken seriously here. Proprietor Michel Chiche is a master patissier who grew up in France and interned in perfectionist French restaurant kitchens before studying at the famed LeNôtre school. But the real proof of his sweet supremacy is not in his resumé or roster of celebrity clients (ranging from Steven Spielberg to Bill Clinton) but behind Le Boudoir's bakery counter. The selection of pastries displayed daily is small but flawless, especially Chiche's specialty, macaroons -- seasonal fillings sandwiched between a pair of almond macaroons with delicately crunchy shells and a melt-in-your-mouth interior. For those craving something extra-special, custom-catered orders range from elaborate sculptural spun-sugar fantasies to a dozen cookies. And if you are searching for a wedding cake that doesn't look like it was decorated by a baker with all the taste and subtlety of Miss Piggy, Le Boudoir can make you a stylish showpiece cake that tastes even better than it looks.
Although this café/bakery originally opened as part of the Tasti D-Lite frozen yogurt chain, it became immediately clear its main draw was not faux ice cream but the rest of the menu: sparkling, crisp salads; genuinely light yet assertively flavorful spicy sesame linguine; and baked goods. The bagels (95 cents each, $1.75 with cream cheese) are not housemade -- not so surprising considering the small place's commitment to quality: Tasti's owners do not begin to pretend a decent bagel can be crafted without New York City water. Consequently, their bagels -- flavors include plain, sesame, and onion, no chocolate chip/sun-dried tomato sissy stuff -- are flown in from H&H in NYC. Pay no attention to boobs who claim H&H has gone downhill. Jerry Seinfeld refuses to eat any other brand of bagel. And if they are good enough for Seinfeld, they're good enough for us.

I havent seen the results yet (ive been avoiding them oh so much).
But even at that, before the fight there wasnt any hype or loads of prediction threads etc as normal.
Yet every thread about UK events such as our very own Cagewarriors, Cage Rage2 and Ultimate Combat seem to do very well.
Seems things are interesting enough in the UK at the moment.
Zuffa better watch out lol
With MMA on the TV, events on what seems monthly in the UK and no way to see UFC legaly - they could soon lose their UK fanbase.

Jay-Z's doppelganger appears in 1939 photo
Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio
A vintage photo has many wondering if Jay-Z was living the "hard knock life" during the Great Depression. A man that looks similar to the rap superstar appears in Sid Grossman's 1939 photo of "Harlem Loiterers" from the Prints Collection of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. The photo was posted on the Center's Facebook and Twitter page last week.
Since then it has gone viral, with many wondering whether Jay-Z is a secret time traveler. According to the New York Public Library's Tumblr account, Schomburg's Curator of Digital Collections Sylviane A. Diouf stumbled on the picture while researching an exhibit. She was "immediately struck" by the man's resemblance to Jay-Z, causing her to actually laugh out loud.
With all the press the picture has been getting, Diouf says she hopes someone will be able to tell the Center who Jay's doppelganger really is.
