Published Document
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"),[1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on August 10, 2011, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the "Exchange" or the "ISE") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II, below, which items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 2128, governing clearly erroneous executions, so that the rule will continue to operate in the same manner after changes to the single stock trading pause process are effective.
The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://www.ise.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchanges [3] and FINRA, in consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), have made changes to their respective rules in a concerted effort to strengthen the markets after the severe market disruption that occurred on May 6, 2010. One such effort by the Exchanges and FINRA was to adopt a uniform trading pause process during periods of extraordinary market volatility as a pilot in S&P 500® Index stocks ("Pause Pilot"), approved by the Commission on June 10, 2010.[4] On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved the Exchanges' and FINRA's proposals to add the securities included in the Russell 1000 Index and specified ETPs to the Pause Pilot.[5] On September 10, 2010, the Commission also approved changes proposed by the Exchanges to amend certain of their respective rules to set forth clearer standards and curtail their discretion with respect to breaking erroneous trades.[6] The changes, among other things, provided uniform treatment of clearly erroneous execution reviews in the event of transactions that result in the issuance of an individual stock trading pause pursuant to the Pause Pilot on the listing market and those that occur up to the time the trading pause message is received by the other markets from the single plan processor responsible for consolidation and dissemination of information for the security ("Latency Trades").
As part of the changes to the clearly erroneous process under Rule 2128, ISE replaced existing Rule 2128(c)(4) with all new text to provide clarity in the clearly erroneous process when a Pause Pilot trading pause is triggered. Pursuant to Rule 2128(c)(4), Latency Trades will be broken by the Exchange if they exceed the applicable percentage from the Reference Price, as noted in the table found under Rule 2128(c)(1).[7] The Reference Price, for purposes of Rule 11.13(c)(4) [sic], is the price that triggered a trading pause pursuant to the Pause Pilot (the "Trading Pause Trigger Price"). As such, Latency Trades that occur on ISE would be broken by the Exchange pursuant to Rule 2128(c)(4) if the transaction occurred at either three, five or ten percent above the Trading Pause Trigger Price.[8]
On June 23, 2011, the Commission approved a joint proposal to expand the respective Pause Pilot rules of the Exchanges and FINRA to include all remaining National Market System ("NMS") stocks ("Phase III Securities").[9] The new pilot rules, Start Printed Page 51083which were implemented on August 8, 2011, not only expand the application of the Pause Pilot, but also apply larger percentage moves that trigger a pause to the Phase III Securities. Specifically, the rules of the listing markets were amended so that a pause in a Phase III Security with a closing price on the previous trading day of $1 or more is triggered by a 30 percent price move within a five minute period. A pause in a Phase III Security with closing price on the previous trading day of less than $1 is triggered by a 50 percent price move within a five minute period. If no prior day closing price is available, the last sale reported to the Consolidated Tape on the previous trading day is used.
The Issue
The recently-approved changes to the Pause Pilot will have the unintended effect of removing the Phase III Securities from the normal clearly erroneous process and potentially result in unfair outcomes in the face of severe volatility in such securities. Phase III Securities are currently subject to the clearly erroneous process under Rule 2128(c)(1)-(3), which apply to all securities except the current Pause Pilot securities subject to a pause. For purposes of transactions in securities not involving Pause Pilot securities, or transactions involving Pause Pilot securities that occur when there is not a pause pursuant to the Pause Pilot, the Reference Price is the consolidated last sale price immediately prior to the execution(s) under review, subject to certain exceptions.[10] As noted above, the Trading Pause Trigger Price is used as the Reference Price when a Pause Pilot pause is in effect. As a consequence, under the current rules a Latency Trade is subject to the clearly erroneous thresholds based on the Trading Pause Trigger Price, which represents a ten percent or greater move in the transacted price of the security in a five-minute period.
Under the new Pause Pilot rules, a Latency Trade in a Phase III Security occurs only after either a 30 or 50 percent (or greater) move in the transacted price of the security in a five-minute period. As a result, a member firm that trades in a Phase III Security that triggers a clearly erroneous threshold of three, five or ten percent from the Reference Price, yet falls below the Pause Pilot trigger of either 30 or 50 percent, would be able to avail itself of a clearly erroneous review. A similarly situated member firm that transacts in the same security as a Latency Trade at a price equal to or greater than the Phase III Security thresholds, yet less than the clearly erroneous thresholds under Rule 2128(c)(1), would not be able to avail itself of the clearly erroneous process. Another member firm that transacts in the same security as a Latency Trade that exceeds three, five or ten percent from the Trading Pause Trigger Price would automatically receive clearly erroneous relief. ISE believes that this would be an inequitable result and an arbitrary application of the clearly erroneous process. Specifically, ISE believes that, since the 30 and 50 percent triggers of the Pause Pilot are substantially greater than the 10 percent threshold of the original Pause Pilot, the Phase III Securities should remain under the current clearly erroneous process of Rule 2128(c)(1)-(3).
Applying the clearly erroneous process under Rule 2128(c)(1)-(3) to the Phase III Securities would allow ISE to review all transactions that exceed the normal clearly erroneous thresholds and Reference Price, and, importantly, avoid arbitrary selection of "winners" and "losers" in the face of severe volatile moves in a security of 30 or 50 percent over a five minute period. For example, a member firm that trades in a Phase III Security that triggers a clearly erroneous threshold of three, five or ten percent, yet falls below the Pause Pilot trigger threshold trading at 29 percent from the prior day's closing price, would be potentially entitled to a clearly erroneous break pursuant to Rule 2128(c)(1). Should trading in that same stock trigger a trading pause at a price of 30 or 50 percent greater than the prior day's close, the member firm would not be entitled to a clearly erroneous trade break unless that trade exceeded three, five or ten percent beyond the price that triggered the pause. This scenario causes an inequity among a group of member firms that have transactions in the Phase III Securities falling between the three, five and ten percent thresholds from the Reference Price under the normal Rule 2128(c)(1) clearly erroneous process and the Pause Pilot clearly erroneous triggers of three, five or ten percent away from the Trading Pause Trigger Price. Such member firms would not be provided relief under the clearly erroneous rules merely due to the imposition of a Pause Pilot halt, notwithstanding that other member firms with transactions that occur at the same rolling five minute percentage difference would be provided such relief. ISE believes a better outcome is to afford all members transacting in Phase III Securities the opportunity of having such trades reviewed.
The expansion of the Pause Pilot to the Phase III Securities will have the unintended consequence of setting the point at which a clearly erroneous transaction occurs once a Pause Pilot pause is initiated far beyond the triggers applied prior to the expansion, which will, in turn, prevent certain market participants from availing themselves of the clearly erroneous rules, notwithstanding that other similarly situated participants are able to do so. ISE believes that this would be an arbitrary application of the clearly erroneous process in a manner that is unfair and not consistent with the spirit and purpose of the rule. Accordingly, ISE is proposing to amend Rule 2128(c)(1)-(4) to specify that Rule 2128(c)(4) applies only to the current securities of Pause Pilot, and not to Phase III Securities.[11]
2. Statutory Basis
The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[12] which requires the rules of an exchange to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed rule change also is designed to support the principles of Section 11A(a)(1) [13] of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair competition among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. ISE believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in that it promotes transparency and uniformity across markets concerning decisions to break erroneous trades, yet also ensures fair application of the process so that similarly situated member firms are provided the same opportunity of a clearly erroneous review. ISE notes that the changes proposed herein will in no way interfere with the operation of the Pause Pilot process, as amended.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition that Start Printed Page 51084is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested parties.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [14] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.[15] The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest because such waiver will allow the clearly erroneous rules to continue to operate as they did prior to the effectiveness of the Pause Pilot expansion to Phase III Securities so that similarly situated member firms are provided the same opportunity of a clearly erroneous review. Accordingly, the Commission waives the 30-day operative delay requirement and designates the proposed rule change as operative upon filing with the Commission.[16]
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

Badgers outshoot Bulldogs to 5-2 victory
Jan. 30, 2010
DULUTH, Minn.--The second -ranked Wisconsin men's hockey team (15-6-4, 11-5-3 WCHA) topped the first-place Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs (16-10-1, 12-6-1 WCHA) Friday night at the DECC. The Badgers saw two goals and an assist by senior forward Aaron Bendickson (Thief River Falls, Minn.) in the crucial victory for UW. The Badgers were relentless on their shots-on-goal production, as they outshot UMD, 52-19, in the game.
The Bulldogs tallied the game's first goal less than two minutes in. Sophomore forward David Grun was able to sneak the puck into the net on a rebound after Badger goaltender Scott Gudmandson (Sherwood Park, Alberta) got shifted out of position. UMD was on top early, 1-0.
However, just over the halfway point of the first, at 10:29, senior forward John Mitchell (Neenah, Wis.) buried his fifth goal of the season on the UW power play. Freshman forward Craig Smith (Madison, Wis.) slid Mitchell a bank pass off the bottom of the net, before the senior capitalized on the chance. Senior tri-captain Ben Street (Coquitlam, British Columbia) tallied the secondary assist. The game was knotted at one, but not for long.
Just twenty seconds later, sophomore defenseman Jake Gardiner (Minnetonka, Minn.) gave the Badgers their first lead of the game. Senior forward Aaron Bendickson (Thief River Falls, Minn.) won a faceoff back to Gardiner, who then Gardiner found the net from just outside the right faceoff circle. The puck soared by UMD goaltender Kenny Reiter, and UW was now on top, 2-1.
But, after some nice passing, Minnesota Duluth knotted things back up just 22 seconds later. After exchanging the puck back-and-forth on a two-on-one, Bulldog senior forward Jordan Fulton snuck the puck past Gudmandson, and the game was tied back up, 2-2.
The teams scored three goals in just 42 seconds.
After a scoreless 9:01 of the second, junior Brendan Smith (Mimico, Ontario) stole the lead back after he cashed in his 10th goal of the season. After senior tri-captain Blake Geoffrion (Brentwood, Tenn.) won a faceoff in the Bulldogs' defensive zone, the puck found Smith. From there, Smith ripped a shot that soared past Reiter's glove side. The Badgers took a 3-2 lead.
That is all the scoring the second period saw. The Badgers outshot UMD 16-8 in the period and 32-14 overall after two. Heading into the final 20 minutes, UW was skating with a 3-2 advantage.
After over eighteen minutes of scoreless third period action, Bendickson sealed the deal for UW on a three-on-two break, scoring into an empty net.
Geoffrion added another goal with 42.6 seconds remaining in the contest. Bendickson assisted the score, as Geoffrion tapped in his 18th goal of the season off of the bar. This solidified the Badger victory, 5-2, over WCHA-leading Minnesota Duluth.
Gudmandson stopped 17 Bulldog attempts, as his record climbed to 8-2-4 on the year. Kenny Reiter's record fell to 8-5-0 after he stopped 47 Badger shots.
The Badgers and Bulldogs will take the ice again tomorrow night as UW attempts to complete the sweep of the Bulldogs. The puck drops at 7 p.m.

Chair: Dany Bylemans
Various models have been developed or are under development i.e. models related to the appearance of pests and diseases, plant growth simulation, production estimates, … Some of them never reach their full potential because of the lack of continuity in research projects. Members of this WG are open to discuss each other's models, improve and broaden them and validate them in various European climatological conditions.
Economics (being established)
Chair: Marianne Groot
Chair: Guglielmo Costa
The EUFRIN Working Group on Fruit Thinning met regularly every year, moving to one country member to another. Starting some years ago we invite at every Meeting an "invited speaker" nto be update on the progress of the fruit thinninh in his country. The most recent invited speaker offer deals with Physiology of the abnscission and return bloom and this year the methods to affect pre- and post-harvset fruit quality with chemical and physical methods will be discussed.
We also have some non-European colleagues that come regularly (i.e Prof. Karen Theron from South Africa, atc) and 5 chemical company that are regularly attending our meeting and give support for the invited speaker, transportation, coffe-break, as well as publication when we have been able to produce it. For instance we publish on the Acta Horticulturae (998, 128 pages, publication date July, 2013) 3 Symposia (Girona, Netherlands and Lubiana)
Improvement of fruit through biotechnology
Chair: Francois Laurens
Chair: Mihai Botu
The WG activities are focused on topics including all aspects of research and development on plum growing in various environmental conditions, harvesting and post-harvest issues, processing including fruit drying and storage, genetics and breeding of plum, cultivars and rootstocks testing, genetic resources evaluation and conservation, fruit quality, pests and diseases, propagation, economics, etc.
Chair: Dirke Köpcke
The mission of the EUFRIN Postharvest and Fruit Quality Working Group (PFQ WG) is to build the network of researchers interested in the field of pre-harvest and post-harvest aspects of fruit quality. The activities of the PFQ WG are aimed at encouraging cooperation between researchers. The main topics of cooperation are: methods and techniques used to determine fruit quality; comparisons between destructive and non-destructive methods of quality determination; fruit quality indices; legal regulations in the fruit quality determination; prediction of optimum harvest date; the influence of harvest date and storage conditions on fruit quality and storability; development of innovative storage technologies and their impact on fruit quality. Fruit quality investigation covers, besides the basic parameters, also health promoting components and their impact on quality of produce and human health as well. Taking into account fruit storability we focus on prediction and control of storage diseases and disorders and we are also working on drawing up a guide as to how to recognize the disorders.
The goals could be achieved by exchanging results from running experiments and/or ideas, preparing proposals and collaborating within the new projects, etc. The share of knowledge could be achieved by using the internet (possibly by creating a network) and/or during the WG meetings.
The invitation is addressed to researchers but in case of specific events (focused on dissemination of knowledge) also other specialists interested in postharvest fruit research (extension service, commercial companies, etc) are welcome.
Shell fruit species (Nuts (being established))

Chair: Jose Quero-Garcia
This Working Group arose in 2013 as an initiative of COST Action FA1104 'Sustainable production of high-quality cherries for the European market'. This network will address all aspects related to cherry production, commercialisation, and consumption. Therefore, it will be highly multidisciplinary and will involve scientists working in the fields of plant breeding, genetics, genomics, agronomy, physiology, phytopathology, entomology, microbiology, post-harvest technology, and socio-economics. A special emphasis will be placed on key EU priorities such as the promotion of sustainable agriculture, adaptation to climate change, and the development of high-quality fruits from a nutraceutical point of view. Expected deliverables will be the exchange of data between research teams, the adoption of common experimental protocols, the implementation of predictive models in the fields of epidemiology and tree phenology, and the establishment of coordinated European marker-assisted selection strategies, including multi-location field trials. Benefits will mostly concern breeders and producers but consumers as well, through the promotion of better cherries and new food products.
Sustainable Fruit Production to minimize residues
Chair: Franziska Zavagli
Limit residues on fruits is a common key issue for the European fruit production. The EUFRIN Working group "Sustainable fruit production to minimize residues" is a network of researcher dealing with integrated pest management (IPM) practices, low input systems, alternative plant protection (especially cultural, biological, biotechnological, physical and mechanical methods) and storage techniques, to reduce pesticide use.
17 institutes from 15 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherland, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK) are exchanging their experiences and results on pome fruits, stone fruits, berries and citrus fruits.
Chair: Pierre-Eric Lauri
The Working Group (WG) in "water relations & irrigation" gathers EU and Extra EU scientists and stakeholders with extensive experience in eco-physiology, water relations, soil and irrigation management of horticultural species. The focus of the WG is to develop innovative strategies to help the EU fruit sector to face the many challenges related to climate change and future resources limitations, such as increased heat and water stress conditions, reduced water availability, competition of water use with other sectors, and the likely geographical shifts of the growing areas for several species.
These strategies include: development of new drought tolerant varieties, improvement of soil management techniques to preserve the natural soil features and face water scarcity, improvement of irrigation management through plant-based sensors for the real time monitoring of plant water status, decision support systems for precise irrigation scheduling and reduced deficit irrigation protocols, development of new orchard management strategies aimed at decreasing the orchard water use etc.
The active exchange within this WG among researchers and stakeholders facilitates the dissemination and technological transfer of the main research outputs and gives scientists precious feedbacks on the actual needs and problems experienced by EU producers.

This is the fourth year in succession that document management and imaging software author, Version One, has made Deloittes top 50 rankings, highlighting the Companys remarkable revenue growth over the past five years.
The Deloittes Technology Fast 50 Awards is a celebration of the UKs fastest-growing high-tech companies. Historically, these have been run as two separate awards for the Midlands and the North. However, for 2005 Deloitte amalgamated the Midlands and Northern region, making the awards more tightly fought than ever before.

Deadline to Claim Awarded Turkey Permits is Monday, March 24
The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife reminds hunters that those who were awarded Spring Turkey Hunting Permits have until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 24 to claim their awarded permits. Those who applied for permits through the lottery should have received notification of their results in the lottery.

Awarded permits that remain unclaimed after 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 24 will become available via over-the-counter sale. All leftover and unclaimed permits will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 31.

Teksty piosenek / C / Chumbawamba / Feel like i'm fixin to die' rag
Chumbawamba - Feel like i'm fixin to die' rag
Tekst piosenki:
Come on all you big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He\'s got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in desert lands.
So put down your books and pick up the gun
We\'re gonna have a whole lot of fun!
And it\'s 1 2 3 what are we fighting for?
Don\'t ask me I don\'t give a damn!
Next stop another Viet Nam.
And it\'s 5 6 7 open up the pearly gates.
There ain\'t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We\'re all gonna die.
Come on generals let\'s move fast,
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out there and break some heads.
The only good enemy is one that\'s dead.
And you know the peace can only be won,
When you blow \'em all to kingdom come!
(Repeat chorus)
Well come on Wall Street - don\'t move slow,
Why man, this is war-a-go-go!
There\'s plenty of money to be made
By supplying the army with the tools of the trade.
Just look at it my way - if you drop the Bomb,
Well, it\'s all part of the fun!
(Repeat chorus)
Well come on mothers don\'t delay,
Pack your boys off to the Gulf today.
Come on fathers don\'t hesitate,
Send them off before it\'s too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box!
(Repeat chorus)

The 2012 NFL Draft has come and gone, but it didn't disappoint. There were 16 trades within the first round on Thursday night, the most in league history, and 19 overall involving first-round picks. In fact, four of those trades came within the top 10 picks. These moves sent unsuspecting players like Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon to surprising new teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Embattled San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has agreed to resign Aug. 30 after 17 allegations of sexual harassment.
But in public remarks at a City Council meeting Friday announcing his resignation, an emotional Filner claimed he was the victim of a "lynch mob" and "if given due process, I would be vindicated."
The City Council voted 7-0 to accept a deal with Filner to end a political stalemate after 17 women, including a great-grandmother, identified themselves as targets of unwanted advances, including touching, forcible kisses and lurid comments.
Filner, 70, who has been in office just nine months, began his remarks by saying "I offer a deep apology. The city should not have been put through this. My own personal failures are responsible and I apologize to the city."
Referring to the harassment allegations, he said, "To all the women that I've offended, I had no intention to be offensive, to violate any physical or emotional space.
"I was trying to establish personal relationships but the combination of awkwardness and hubris led to behavior that I think many found offensive."
But he quickly became defiant, saying he had fallen victim to the "hysteria of a lynch mob" which he called an "affront to democracy."
Filner said his resignation was "obviously the toughest decision of my life" and he vowed "I will not give up."
Under the agreement negotiated between Filner and the City Council, the city will pay Filner's legal fees in a joint defense of a lawsuit filed by the mayor's former communications director and pay for any settlement costs assessed against the mayor except for punitive damages, said City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. The city would also pay up to $98,000 if Filner wants to hire his own attorney.
Goldsmith said the city was obligated to provide his legal defense no matter what.
Filner, a Democrat who served 20 years in Congress before becoming mayor of the nation's eighth-largest city had previously insisted he still could be an effective mayor and underwent two weeks of behavioral therapy before returning to work this week.
On Friday, just before the Council vote, the Democratic National Committee took the extraordinary step of passing a resolution demanding Filner leave.
Dozens of people spoke for and against the mayor before the council convened behind closed doors to discuss confidential terms negotiated by Filner and Goldsmith.
"Without the mayor's resignation, our city will continue to be paralyzed by this scandal, progress will be arrested and our focus will continue to be monopolized by this dark chapter in our history," said Laura Fink, a political consultant who accused Filner of patting her buttocks in 2005 when she was deputy campaign manager to the then-congressman.
Rachel Laing, a spokeswoman for an effort to recall the mayor, said petition gatherers had collected 20,000 signatures in five days to qualify for the ballot but that she would accept a deal for the mayor to resign.
"Every day he's in office is a day that the city remains in paralysis and that his victims suffer," she told the council.
Still, many who came to the special meeting supported the embattled mayor, hailing the liberal Democrat's work on behalf of civil rights and struggling minority groups.
Filner's biggest bargaining chip at the negotiating table was his refusal to resign.
The deal was negotiated between Filner, his lawyers, Goldsmith and two City Council members. It does not include attorney Gloria Allred, who represents Filner's former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, in a lawsuit filed against Filner and the city.
McCormack, as she is known professionally, was the first woman to go public with allegations against Filner and her lawsuit is the only one filed against the mayor and the city. McCormack claimed the mayor asked her to work without panties, demanded kisses, told her he wanted to see her naked and dragged her in a headlock while whispering in her ear.
Filner's troubles may also not be over. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has interviewed the mayor's former communications director and opened a hotline to field any complaints about Filner. Investigators will deliver their findings to California attorney general's office to consider any possible criminal prosecution.
Todd Gloria, the Democratic City Council president, becomes acting mayor until a special election is held within 90 days. Democrats enjoy a solid edge over Republicans in voter registration, but the GOP will capitalize on the Filner debacle to try to reclaim an office it has held for nearly all of the last four decades.
Filner, who began his political career on the San Diego school board and later served on the City Council, is twice divorced.

49ers safety Goldson, Cardinals receiver Doucet fined for scuffle
NEW YORK (AP) ' San Francisco safety Dashon Goldson was fined $25,000 by the NFL on Friday for punching Arizona receiver Early Doucet in last Sunday's game.
Doucet was fined $10,000 for unnecessary roughness when he struck Goldson in the helmet area. Goldson then threw his punches.
At the end of a play early in the fourth quarter, Goldson was down away from the ball when he got blindsided and slapped on the back of the helmet by Doucet. Goldson jumped up, confronted him and both began swinging wildly. Goldson then threw a series of punches to Doucet's facemask and received a 15-yard personal foul penalty before being ejected.
Denver linebacker Von Miller was fined $25,000 for roughing the passer. The rookie struck Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez in the chest area with his helmet. It was Miller's second infraction of the season; the other was when he struck Raiders QB Carson Palmer the same way earlier this month.
Seattle safety Kam Chancellor was fined $40,000 for unnecessary roughness against Rams tight end Lance Kendricks. The previous week, Chancellor was docked $20,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit against Baltimore wide receiver Anquan Boldin.
Philadelphia receiver-kick returner DeSean Jackson was fined $10,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct; he flipped the ball toward Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell after a 50-yard reception.
Eagles DT Trevor Laws was fined $7,500 for unnecessary roughness; he struck Giants QB Eli Manning late and away from the play after an Eagles interception.

"Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee."
Ok, peeps. I've got to get up in about 5 hours to haul myself and my shoes to the airport - destination: Vancouver and Seattle. While there, I expect to torture H. with hourly Twin Peaks references and facts, all the while not giving away the ending, because he never finished watching all the episodes (grounds for divorce). And yes, I am still obsessed with a 20-year old show.
I know you're dying to hear about my CBC thing. Yes, I spoke to them this afternoon. And no, I don't think I'll be chosen, but I had fun! Maybe I'll tell you more about it while I'm lounging in our king sized hotel bed in Vancouver.

|The panel - Jackie Edwards, Martin Baum, Penny Legg & John Houghton
Photo by Joe Legg
The discussion was very well led by Penny and covered everything form how to approach publishers, what they are looking for, the importance of having a niche product, marketing, getting an agent and the financial side of being a writer. All the information was very useful and was enriched by discovering the different routes each of the writers had taken.
It was certainly food for thought and well worth the journey over there. The festival organisers asked for feedback and this event was very good but I thought the festival would benefit from being more condensed (a weekend event for example.) Mainly to make it easier for people not based in Bournemouth to attend. However saying that it was definitely worth travelling over for this single event and if it is on again next year I will certainly attend. Hopefully by that time I'll be several steps further along the getting published route. Here I am with some of the other writing buddies who attended - Jimmy Marsh and Joe Blackmore.

They should basically just call this conference the "Big East Rejects".
While true, they may end up better off than them. The common opinion is the Big East will lose AQ status after the next 2 yearsThe rejects will be in a healthy conference with no payouts....Boise and SDSU will be in a split conference, and tons of $ down the tube. If Fresno was offered they need to take it.....but in a few years? Not getting that offer might be a blessing

Iona Goulder immediately caught my eye in the film course we took together. She's absolutely gorgeous, and has an amazing personal style. Iona is one of those women who has access to her grandmother's amazing closet, so you'll always see her wearing incredible hats and old tweed jackets. But it's not just her looks that's worth mentioning, she's a very curious and intelligent woman, who pushes me to new heights in my own work because she's so ambitious herself. Iona is on her final year of art history at Goldsmiths College and I have very high hopes for what she's going to achieve in the future.
Iona is from now on a new contributor at Wunderbuzz, which I'm very pleased with. So a big welcome to her, I hope you'll take good care of her.

The following is a chronology of the Coptic Popes of the Sea of Alexandria,
which was founded by St. Mark the Apostle, Evangelist, Martyr, and first Pope.
1. St. Mark the Evangelist
2. Inianos was a shoe maker (more…)
The following is a chronology of the Coptic Popes of the Sea of Alexandria,
which was founded by St. Mark the Apostle, Evangelist, Martyr, and first Pope.
1. St. Mark the Evangelist
2. Inianos was a shoe maker (more…)
The word "tradition" means, delivering something and receiving it, i.e., delivering a deposit of faith and receiving it along the generations (Jude 3).
In the apostolic age, tradition was the only source of Christian faith, doctrines and worship. Its role in the Church life of that period may be summarized in the following points: (more…)
The Coptic Orthodox Church's clergy is headed by the Pope of Alexandria. The Pope of the Coptic Church, although highly regarded by all Copts, does not enjoy any state of supremacy or infallibility. There are Metropolitans and Bishops who oversee the priests ordained in their dioceses. (more…)
The Coptic Church is an ascetic church that believes in the power of fasting in the life of the believers. Fasting is not considered a physical exercise, but rather it is an offering of inward love offered by the heart as well as the body. "man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord…" Deut. 8:3, Matt. 4:4. (more…)
The Coptic feasts have deep and sweet hymns, and splendid rites that inflame the spirit. Their aim is to offer the living heavenly and evangelic thought and to expose the Holy Trinity and Their redeeming work in the life of the church, in a way that is simple enough to be experienced by children, and: deep enough to quench the thirst of theologians. (more…)
The Saints are dear members in the One Body of Christ who have struggled like us on earth and have departed to Paradise. They are not dead, but are sleeping, as St. Paul called them "But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope." (1 Thess 4:13). (more…)
Monasticism was born in Egypt and was instrumental in the formation of the Coptic Church's character of submission and humbleness. Thanks to the teachings and writings of the Great Fathers of Egypt's Deserts. Monasticism began in the Coptic Church towards the end of the third century, and flourished in the fourth. By the end of the fourth century, there were hundreds of monasteries, and thousands of cells and caves scattered throughout the Egyptian hills. Many of these monasteries are still flourishing and have new vocations till this day. (more…)
The Divine Liturgy or Eucharist was the heart of the Christian worship and prayers in the early apostolic church and is still nowadays in all traditional and apostolic churches including the Coptic Orthodox church. In Latin, it is called "Liturgy". "Eucharist" in Greek means "Thanksgiving".
The Divine Liturgy is a New Testament sacrament instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself before His passion as in the holy Gospels of St. Matthew 26, 26-29; St. Mark 14, 22-24; St. Luke 22, 19-23. (more…)
The Church Sacraments are sacred actions by which the believers receive invisible graces, through material or visible signs. The Coptic Church observes seven sacraments:
1. Sacrament of Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism is the door by which the believer enters the church and has the right to partake in the rest of the Sacraments. (more…)
The Holy Bible concentrates on "Jerusalem" which means, "land of peace," or "vision of peace" as center of the Promised Land, where God declares His dwelling among people. And a holy temple was established in it in His Name, where people worshiped Him, offered Him sacrifices and offerings, and celebrated many feasts as a symbol of the heavenly joy. (more…)
The Christian school of Alexandria is the oldest Christian religion school in the world. The School of Alexandria started as a predominantly scientific and literary institution. It then developed into a philosophical and theological university. The Catechetical School of Alexandria came in direct succession to it. The school was the most important institution for theological education in Christian antiquity. Its deans, teachers, and graduates were responsible for what could be called philosophizing of Christian Creed. They defined Christianity in its final form for all generations to come. (more…)
The Coptic Church or the Church of Alexandria is called "Sees of St. Mark"; one of the earliest four sees: Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Rome.
St. Mark, The Founder
The Copts are proud of the apostolicity of their Church, whose founder is St. Mark; one of the seventy Apostles (Mk 10:10), and one of the four Evangelists. He is regarded by the Coptic hierarchy as the first of their unbroken 117 patriarchs, and also the first of a stream of Egyptian martyrs. This apostolicity was not only furnished on grounds of its foundation but rather by the persistence of the Church in observing the same faith received by the Apostle and his successors, the Holy Fathers.
The Coptic Orthodox Church is one of the most ancient Churches of the world, founded by Saint Mark the Apostle. The Coptic Orthodox Church is a conservative Church that has carefully preserved the Orthodox Christian Faith in its earliest and purest form, handing it down from generation to generation, unaltered and true to the Apostolic doctrines and patterns of worship.
The Copts are the Egyptian Christians. They are the successors of the ancient Egyptians "The Pharaohs". They played a vital role in the whole Christian world, especially during the first five centuries. The word 'Copt' is derived from `gypt' which stems from the Greek word Aigyptos' meaning `Egyptian'. (more…)
We believe in one God, God the Father, the Almighty, Who created heaven and earth, and all things, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, (more…)

When I see this design, I suddenly remembered a Greek mythology that tells us the beautiful princess Phyllis, a daughter of king Sithon, in Thrace, who fell in love with Theseus' son, Demophon. He had ended up there while sailing home from Troy, and the king gave him part of his kingdom and married him to his daughter.
After some time Demophon missed Athens so much that he asked to go home for a while, Demophon promised her, by a certain day, to come back from Athens and marry her. Phyllis waited for years for him to return, but finally died hung herself of a broken heart in a tree at the spot they would have met.
The place was called Ennea Odoi, Nine Roads, since Phyllis had returned there nine times that day to see if Demophon had arrived. In sympathy, the gods transformed Phyllis into an almond tree, a leafless, flowerless tree which became a symbol of hope. When the errant, just at the moment when at length Demophon came, he devastated and in vain embraced the tree. The tree suddenly burst into bloom, a demonstration of love not conquered by death.

By Former Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson
October 22, 2011, NewsWithViews.com
A stakeholder group consisting of elected, business, and philanthropic leaders from the tri-state region of Southeast Tennessee, Northwest Georgia and Northeast Alabama which encompasses three metropolitan statistical areas has announced a major milestone in the effort to lay the groundwork to launch a 40-year regional growth planning process. The Chattanoogan
Sustainablists circle like Buzzards, eagerly awaiting the death knell of the Great American Experiment. They no longer worry about sneaking legislation, regulation or planning in through the back door. Certain that they are in control, they are now up-front, in fact blatantly smug about what they are doing.
Look at the words and terms in the first quarter of this one article and tell me this isn't Sustainable Development: Stakeholder group, regional growth planning process, organize and facilitate, long-term region wide planning, public visioning, common ground solutions, localized planning effort….
Chattanooga has been living with this a long time, "This is a continuation of the public visioning and community engagement processes that have been transforming Chattanooga and the surrounding region since the early 1980s." That is when Senator Bob Corker was the mayor of Chattanooga. Sure is nothing I would be bragging about. But then I am not a useful idiot to the global elite who are orchestrating all of this. The statement from the mayor goes on to admit that their "community pioneered this approach." Now this is really something to be ashamed of rather than touting it in the local rag.
"We don't have to agree on everything, but failing to cooperate when it benefits citizens would be foolish," said Georgia State Senator Jeff Mullis. "This planning process will enhance coordination among localities without taking away any of their authority or independence." If you read the full article you will see time after time that they (the instigators of this travesty) keep insisting that they are not taking away the authority or independence of any localities. Yet, the regional boards do exactly that. The function of legitimate elected government within the system is fast becoming little more than a rubber stamp to create and enforce the dictates of the councils and regions.
"In my mind, the regional planning process is about job creation," said Tom Edd Wilson, president and CEO of the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce. "We're competing against the whole world to retain and recruit employers. Coming together as a team on economic development will give us a tremendous advantage in making the most of our economic opportunities while preserving the quality of life that makes us so attractive to the companies we already have." We are not competing against the whole world, we are competing against the few companies that are left in America. And the sadder thing about this is that only the companies that become Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have much of a chance at all at getting business here now. Many PPPs are nothing more than government-sanctioned monopolies in which a few businesses are granted special favors like tax breaks, the power of eminent domain, non-compete clauses and specific guarantees for return on their investments.
Following the public meeting on Nov. 17, the stakeholder group which has been working to launch the regional growth planning process will weigh public feedback and other requirements set forth in the selection process to determine which of the finalist teams will coordinate the effort with the aim of starting the process during the first part of 2012. Look at that sentence — stakeholder group and regional growth planning — two buzz phrases of Sustainable Development. And they will weigh "public feedback," and how much weight do you think they will give to the legitimate questions of costs, autonomy, property rights and true local control?
I would bet money that not one idea that doesn't conform to Sustainable Development will make it to the selection process. What we are watching is a highly choreographed spectacle that is being staged in cities, towns and counties across this great country of ours in front of audiences that do not have a clue to the fact that this performance is a death knell to the Great American Experiment.
Can we hold them off in Chattanooga? Let us hope so; let us hope that, into the machinery of this consensus process the globalists' useful idiots manipulate so well, a wrench is thrown that will put them out of business.
We need to be supplying the wrench, metaphorically. We need to make certain that Americans understand what is wrong with Sustainable Development, not by name but by what it does to rights and freedom. Show them the effects on property rights, water rights; show them how the prices of food and energy are skyrocketing because of the rules and regulations that are designed into these plans. Show how our duly elected officials are becoming nothing more than rubber stamps for the unelected, often non-local officials of the planning and regional boards that have been mandated through these programs. The words Sustainable and Development do not have to be used, just their effects and affects.
We need to be doing this across America in every city, county and town because, if it isn't already there, Sustainable Development and its buzzards will be there soon.
To help us have tools to inform the public of this evil, we need to know as many of the names of planning groups associated with Sustainable Development as we can find. We know of some:
Piedmont Environmental
American Planning Association
Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness
Center for Neighborhood Technology
RERC Strategic Advisors
Wallace Roberts & Todd
Gresham Smith & Partners
Yes, you can go down the list of the three finalist teams in the article and pull out a lot. But we would like to try to make a definitive list. To that end, if you would email me with ones in your area, I would appreciate it. My email address is listed at the end of this article. Thank you.

Extremists Bracing for New World Order
The jet-black helicopters operated by the secret government of the United States are flying low and coming in fast, loaded with heavily armed United Nations troops bent on confiscating all our weapons and putting us in concentration camps so the New World Order can be put in place to rule our lives until the millennium.
Sound farfetched? Listen to some of the nation's extreme right- wing militia members, men and women whose views, until the Oklahoma City explosion last week, had been confined mostly to fringe newspapers and the intelligence files of organizations that keep tabs on the far right.
They say that "biochips" are being installed in our heads so the government can monitor our every move, keeping track of us no matter where we are. They say that Soviet tanks and missile launchers are already rolling down the streets of America in cooperation with the Zionist occupational government that rules from the White House.
And, some say, the attack in Oklahoma was the work of either President Clinton, Attorney General Janet Reno or the CIA.
With new revelations every day of links between bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh and militias in Michigan and Arizona, the netherworld of America's extreme right wing -- of a lifestyle built on bitter frustration, paranoia and an obsession with guns -- has emerged into mainstream scrutiny.
Experts who follow the far right say the groups' fascination with elaborate conspiracies typifies their world view. They see the same pattern in the groups' outrage over the Branch Davidian conflagration two years ago and in their belief that the federal government is training Chinese armies to take over the nation.
But underlying these attitudes, some experts say, is a harsh reality: Many of the far-right extremists are relatively unskilled white males who are the unwitting and now angry victims of a rapidly changing world, a world where borders are constantly disappearing and a kind of "one-worldism" is rapidly engulfing them.
"This is what they describe as the New World Order," said Noah Chandler, a researcher with the Center for Democratic Renewal in Atlanta. "With all these economic agreements -- GATT and NAFTA, and European economic boundaries coming down -- things are moving very fast. These are people who are in rural areas, they are less educated, and they have romantic ideas of the good old days. They want states' rights. The sheriff is the highest law of the land. They are close to the Constitution. They want a 'well-regulated militia.'
"They have a romantic opinion of impending doom, and they are extremely apocalyptic."
What emerges from interviews with militia extremists and a review of their literature is a world- view shaped by paranoia and fantasy.
The federal government, they say, long ago surrendered its Constitution to a Jewish-dominated confederation of banks and the U.S. Federal Reserve -- the Zionist occupational government.
Now, the president and Congress are simply puppets being directed by the all-powerful Federal Emergency Management Agency, an agency more commonly associated with the miles of red tape that applicants must cut through to get FEMA loans after floods and earthquakes.
Some of FEMA's army is aided by ex-Soviet troops and tanks, secretly imported from Russia, they say. FEMA, in this view, controls the sinister fleet of black copters.
"What's happened," says Vernon Weckner, a member of the El Dorado County Militia, "is that the military have painted all their helicopters black and the government is run by FEMA.
"If (President) Clinton declares a national emergency, he has this big multinational force, a United Nations force, made up of German, Dutch, French and Gurkha soldiers. There's a bunch of them out at the air base and a bunch more right across the border in Canada."
Weckner, a 64-year-old retired diesel mechanic who lives in Sutter County, says it is also clear to him and to other militia members that this multinational force will have the help of about 100,000 Royal Hong Kong police officers, recruited by the federal government to help keep order.
Some militia members say a different federal force is poised in northern Mexico, just across the border from Arizona and New Mexico. This army, the thinking goes, is armed with U.S. military weapons collected from the battlefields of Vietnam and sold through intermediary arms merchants to the federal government that originally shipped them to Vietnam 30 years ago.
Again, the black helicopters will lead the attack.
"The black helicopter," says researcher Chandler, "is basically the unmarked police car of the sky. Actually, there are black helicopters out there -- the Army has unmarked helicopters and so do a number of federal agencies. But the extremist groups have taken this to conspiratorial heights. In their view, these helicopters are monitoring patriotic Americans and are prepared to round up all these patriots and put them into internment camps."
Chandler, who monitors white supremacists for the Center for Democratic Renewal, says that Wednesday's second anniversary of the lethal government-led attack on the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas, is crucial to understanding the pent-up anger of the extreme right. Hard-core militia members and others believe that they are being forced by the government into the same corner as David Koresh's doomed cult.
Weckner, for his part, says the federal building in Oklahoma City was blown up on orders of Clinton and Reno as part of a plot to kill "five or six ATF and FBI agents" still in the building. These agents, Weckner explains, "were going against Clinton and Reno on this Waco thing."
Jerry Gillespie is an aide-de- camp to Colonel Bo Gritz, the ex- Green Beret who is now the high- profile guru of the armed survivalists. "Bo doesn't believe Oklahoma was done by a militia man," Gillespie says, "because the type of bomb used was too advanced. To do that one, you'd need the specialized training that is only given by the centralized government, advanced training from Special Forces or the CIA.
"Bo's suggesting it was done by the CIA."
Anastasia Steinberg, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, says that the extremists "are always buying conspiracy theories that are very farfetched."
"These are people, however, who are very frustrated by crime, by society and by excessive government entanglement," Steinberg says. "They always want the quick fix, the easy answer."

A grid is a structure with a
nike free train virtue reviews
used to align negative space in designs.
Using a grid makes content appear to flow more naturally on your page.
Grids divide horizontal space into indivisible units called "columns". All columns in a grid must specify their width as proportion of the total available row width.
All grid systems choose an arbitrary column count to allow per row. Semantic's default theme uses 16 columns .
The example below shows four
four wide
columns will fit in the first row,
16 / 4 = 4
, and three various sized columns in the second row.
2 + 8 + 6 = 16
The default column count, and other arbitrary features of grids can be changed by adjusting Semantic UI's underlying theming variables .
Rows are groups of columns which are aligned horizontally.
Rows can either be
, marked with an additional
element, or
, automatically occurring when no more space is left in a previous row.
After each group of columns vertical spacing is added to separate each group of columns, creating vertical rhythm.
Grid columns are separated by areas of white space referred to as "gutters". Gutters improve legibility by providing, negative space between page elements.
Gutters remain a constant size regardless of the width of the grid, or how many columns are in a row. To increase the size of gutters in a particular grid, you can use a
relaxed grid
Since all grid columns include gutters, grids use

Himalaya Herbals Baby Lotion (400ml)
A gentle lotion specially formulated to restore the skin's natural beauty leaving skin soft and supple. Enriched with almond oil that restores skin moisture, Olive oil which improves skin luster, Yashtimadhu and country mallow which soothes the skin.
Directions for use:
Apply all over baby's body after bath.
Baba (Sidhi cardofolia) 2mg, Yashthimadhu 2mg, Guduchi 2mg, Oils jaitun 14mg, vatada (prunus amygdalus) 10 mg
Methyl paraben IP, Propyl paraben, Phenoxyethanol.
My take:
This was my baby's first body lotion. It was used from day 10 of his birth. He had dry skin and this corrected that issue. For face baby cream was used. This did not cause him any allergy and was ok to use. After bath if the lotion was applied immediately, then there was no need for re application.

Former FBI director James Comey faced loud protests throughout his speech at Howard University's convocation ceremony Friday, as activists chanted and sang traditional African-American spirituals over his remarks.
The protests began immediately after Comey took the podium at the historically black university in Washington, D.C., As the ex-FBI director stood quietly, chants such as "no justice, no peace" and "get out James Comey, you aren't our homie" filled the auditorium.
HUResist, an activist group on campus, tweeted earlier this week about why many students on campus were unhappy with the decision to bring Comey to campus. They cited FBI surveillance of Black Lives Matter activists as well as Comey's claim that racial bias is not an epidemic within law enforcement.
Under James Comey, the FBI heavily surveilled BLM activists and protests. #ReclaimConvocationHU— #HUResist (@HUResist) September 22, 2017
After a few moments, Comey appealed to the crowd to let him speak without interruptions.
"I hope you'll stay to listen to what I have to say. I just listened to you for 5 minutes," he said.
The protests, however, continued, with protesters singing "We Shall Not Be Moved," which was popularized as a protest song during the Civil Rights Movement.

"A conversation is where you speak and I listen, and then I speak and you listen, and we go back and forth and back and forth," Comey said over the chants. "And at the end of a conversation, we are both smarter. I am here at Howard to try to get smarter, to try to be useful, to try to have healthy conversations."

A hero stops an alleged child molester (0)
With so much crime in this country, it is truly inspiring to hear about how ordinary people come to the rescue of those in need. Heroes come in all sizes and shapes but this hero is more than just a hero he just may be an angel in disguise.
According to a report by a local TV station in Denver, Colorado, a man working at a Comcast table in front of a Walmart stopped an alleged child molester from leaving the store.
Kevin Salyers who was allegedly grabbing and molesting a little girl in the store, bolted out of the Walmart but Cameron Aulner tackled him before he could leave. What makes this so amazing is that the man, Cameron Aulner, is a disabled man who is wheel chair bound. He lost the use of his legs when he fell off a roof installing Christmas lights years ago. Nevertheless, that did not stop Mr. Aulner from doing the right thing.
Mr. Aulner kept the alleged child molester pinned on the ground until police arrived. According to the story, police are considering giving Mr. Aulner an official commendation. Mr. Aulner said that he didn't feel like a hero, he just did what you're supposed to do – help out.

I was hosting a show at the Punchline and Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple!) showed up. He was nice/bored enough to stick around afterward to chat people up and hand out his insanely cool, metal business cards. I still have mine.
December 2013
Steve Wozniak, more fondly known as Woz, co-founded Apple with his friends Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne. He invented the Apple I and Apple II in the 70s before leaving Apple in 1987, but that certainly wasn't the end of Woz in the media. He's quite the chatterbox, and, here at Macworld, we rather enjoy trying to guess what on Earth he's going to say next.
U2, The Clash and more to be featured on Steve Wozniak's US Festival 1983 DVD : Articles : Music TimesNovember 2013
Apple's Steve Jobs is known for his love of music and revolutionizing how we listen to it today. But did you know that the other Steve, Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak, had his hand in the music scene, too?
In the early '80s Wozniak put on a short-lived music event called US Festival through his UNUSON Corporation. The first installment took place on Labor Day 1982. The 1983 festival, its second and final edition, is coming to DVD. That year's event hosted acts including U2, David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Van Halen, Judas Priest, INXS, Stray Cats and The English Beat, Men at Work, Berlin and Triumph as well as The Clash for one of the band's final performance

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- In this corner, it's Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. In that corner, it's phone phreaking pioneer Captain Crunch. Over there, it's Apple employee No. 1 Bill Fernandez, and across the room, there's Lee Felsenstein, the creator of the world's first mass-produced portable computer, the Osborne.

Is there anything better than watching geeks try to dance? Well, yes. But nonetheless, it was hilarious watching Mark Cuban and Steve Wozniak get groovy on "Dancing With The Stars." And now, Bill Nye, the personality behind the popular '90s TV program, "Bill Nye the Science Guy," is getting in on the fun.

Last week to close out IT Expo, ANPI sponsored the keynote speaker, Steve Wozniak. To establish a festive mood for the man known as the "Woz", ANPI handed out hundreds of sunglasses and beach balls. It was duly noted that it was the first time an audience was hitting beach balls into the air as a keynote speaker came onto the stage.
July 2013
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Electronic Arts co-founder Trip Hawkins will hold keynote talks at this year's Apps World event in London.

Once again, Google is showing that its Knowledge Graph does not update fast enough.
During the World Series last fall, somebody vandalized the Wikipedia page for the St. Louis Cardinals, calling them a "gay butt sex team". Wikipedia was quick to address the issue, but this remained in Google's Knowledge Graph for hours.
Hey Google, there are some flaws in relying on Wikipedia for your knowledge graph information... (cc: @rustybrick) pic.twitter.com/X1zUl3hQkW
— Ben Cook (@Skitzzo) October 28, 2013
Today, news broke that the Detroit Lions hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell as their new head coach. This happened a few hours ago, and Wikipedia has reflected his change of jobs for a while now, but the Knowledge Graph has yet to update. It's still listing him as the Ravens offensive coordinator.
Now, I'm sure it will update before too long, and nobody's going to be overly offended that Google is taking a bit to update this info. It isn't exactly erroneous (as it sometimes is). It's just slightly outdated at this point (though not nearly as outdated as the images Google chooses to display).
But that's kind of the point. Google, the dominant search engine on the web by far, really needs to be better at real time. Unfortunately, it's significantly worse than it was a few years ago, since losing the Twitter firehose, which it's never been able to make up for.
Sure, Google shows news results for Caldwell showing that he's now the Lions' coach. If you search for him, you'll probably figure it out. But what about those cases that don't show news results - that don't make a bunch of headlines. How do we ever know that the Knowledge Graph is up to date at a glance? The reality is that you can't completely trust it. Not even as much as Wikipedia, which is far speedier in its own updates.
Interestingly enough, the fourth result on a search for "jim caldwell" is a link to NFL.com for his profile as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, which is obviously even more outdated than his job in Baltimore. That's the fourth best result Google can come up with for Jim Caldwell? And as freshness has become a higher priority than ever in recent years?
If I were taking the "Bing It On Challenge," I'd have to give the edge to Bing on this one.

The sensor, ultimately named the STEALTH™ sensor (Sensor for the Training of Elite Athletes) consists of a GNSS base receiver positioned on the slope to maximize satellite signal availability, a stretchable belt for the athlete with the STEALTH™ unit attached, and a helmet-mounted GNSS antenna for data collection. Specially developed software allowed the coaches to analyze the data of each training run to ensure the athlete was positioned in the most efficient way.
