About the Author
Kate Walker was born in Nottinghamshire, England, but the family moved to West Yorkshire when she was just 18 months old, and she has always regarded Yorkshire as home. She was the middle child in a family of five girls, growing up in a home where books were vitally important, and she read anything she could get her hands on.
Even before she could write she was making up stories. At the age of four she was telling the tale of The Three Little Raindrops to her two younger sisters. She can't remember a time when she wasn't scribbling away at something, and wrote her first "book" when she was 11.
But everyone told her that she would never make a living as a writer, and that she should work toward a more secure career. So she decided that if she couldn't write books, at least she could work with them, and settled for becoming a librarian.
On leaving school she went to the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth to study English and librarianship. While there, she met her husband, who was also studying at the college. They married and moved back north, eventually settling in Lincolnshire, where she worked as a children's librarian until her son was born.
After three years of being a full-time housewife and mother she was ready for a new challenge, but needed something she could do at home, so she turned to her old love of writing. Her first attempts at writing novels were done at the kitchen table, often working late into the night when her son was asleep, or during a few snatched hours while he was out at nursery school.
The first two novels she sent off to Harlequin Mills & Boon were rejected, but the third attempt was successful. She can still remember the moment that a letter of acceptance arrived instead of the rejection slip she had been dreading.
She must have read that letter over and over a hundred times before what it said sank in, and for days she kept checking it just to make sure she hadn't been dreaming. But the moment she really realized that she was a published writer was when copies of her first book, The Chalk Line, arrived just in time to be one of her best Christmas presents ever.
Fitting in hobbies around writing and being a wife and mother can be difficult, but Kate always finds time to read. She loves all sorts of fiction, especially romance, obviously, but she also enjoys historical novels, detective fiction, and long, absorbing biographies, and she can spend hours in bookshops, just browsing.
During her working hours, her four cats, all adopted from the RSPCA, keep her company in her study, though they have to be dissuaded from sitting on the piles of papers that they are convinced are there just for their benefit.
Kate is often asked if she's a romantic person because she writes romances. Her answer is that if being romantic means caring about other people enough to make that extra special effort for them, then, yes, she is. Romance is about making the important people in your life feel valued and letting them know that you care. But she also writes about relationships and the difficulties people sometimes have in understanding each other, or expressing their feelings, or overcoming problems.
Sometimes, when the right words won't come, or an idea hasn't worked out as she thought, she wonders why she doesn't have a regular nine-to-five job--but only sometimes. When the story's flowing and the characters come alive, she can't imagine doing anything else. And there's a tremendous satisfaction in knowing that she's doing what she always dreamed of and proving wrong all those people who said she would never make a successful career out of her writing.

Remember when Rob Ryan agreed to be the St. Louis Rams' defensive coordinator? Well, about that ...
|Take a look at photos of Rob Ryan through the years.
The Rams announced Tuesday morning that Ryan will not run their defense in 2013.
"After extensive conversations regarding defensive philosophy, the Rams and Rob Ryan agreed he was not the right fit for the club's defensive coordinator position," executive vice president of football operations Kevin Demoff told the team website. "The Rams will continue the interview process with the club's other candidates."
The Rams seemed poised to add Ryan to an already strong defense that led the NFL with 52 sacks. Ryan's boisterous persona, however, can rub some people the wrong way. He proclaimed that he'd be out of a job for "like five minutes" when the Dallas Cowboys fired him earlier this month.
No details were given, but Ryan does prefer a 3-4 scheme to the Rams' 4-3. That could have been the difference in philosophy, but it's odd the team didn't deny reports last week that Ryan had been hired, now calling them premature. It appears something changed in the last five days.
The Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints are the other teams still searching for a defensive coordinator. Ryan's five minutes might turn into much more if he can't make a late push for one of those two jobs.

After six years of battle, a federal jury on Tuesday settled the longstanding SCO Group v. Novell (Nasdaq: NOVL) case by ruling that Novell owns the rights to the Unix operating system.
In 2003, the SCO Group began campaigning to get Linux users to pay it license fees, arguing that unspecified SCO intellectual property had been improperly included in Linux. SCO filed suit against Novell in 2004, claiming slander of title.
Now, following the District Court of Utah's decision, the case has finally been put to rest, causing widespread jubilation at Novell and throughout the Linux community.
'Thank you, Novell'
"Novell is very pleased with the jury's decision confirming Novell's ownership of the Unix copyrights, which SCO had asserted to own in its attack on Linux," wrote Novell spokesperson Ian Bruce in a company blog on Tuesday.
"Novell remains committed to promoting Linux, including by defending Linux on the intellectual property front," Bruce added. "This decision is good news for Novell, for Linux, and for the open source community."
Indeed, "Thank you, Novell, for never giving up, and never giving in," read a comment from the Groklaw blog, which has followed the case's twists and turns over the years. "Those of us who love to use Linux will forever be thankful to you."
SCO Group did not respond by press time to LinuxInsider's request for comment.
A Question of Transfer
At question in the lawsuit was a 1995 agreement in which Novell sold Unix to the Santa Cruz Operation, which sold it a few years later to what would soon become the SCO Group. An ambiguously worded portion of that contract left it unclear whether Novell retained the Unix copyrights in the sale or whether it transferred those rights along with the sale.
Linux creator Linus Torvalds asserted that SCO was lying in its concurrent claims against IBM (NYSE: IBM), in a comment he made to Forbes in 2006.
Now, Novell's victory raises questions both about SCO's lawsuit against IBM -- SCO claims the computing giant improperly used its Unix code to improve Linux -- and about the survival of SCO itself. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2007.
Former U.S. District Judge Edward Cahn, the trustee who is running SCO following its bankruptcy filing, noted that its claims against IBM still stand, the Salt Lake City Tribune reported.
'A Significant Victory'
"After a six-year litigation, a jury verdict in Novell's favor, a partial reversal by the 10th Circuit Appeals Court, and a second jury verdict, Novell is declared the victor in owning the copyrights at issue," Washington, D.C., technology attorney Raymond Van Dyke told LinuxInsider. "Also, SCO was found to have contractually waived their rights."
The open source community "views this judgment as vindication and hopefully a sign that further victories are in store," Van Dyke added.
Indeed, "this is a significant victory for Novell, which deserves credit for all of the time, money and energy it has spent defending Linux and asserting its ownership of Unix copyrights," 451 Group analyst Jay Lyman told LinuxInsider.
"When SCO was asserting it owned those rights and thus had some ownership of Linux more than six years ago, there was concern it would hurt the enterprise credibility, growth and potential of the Linux operating system, its vendors and open source in general," Lyman noted. "In the time since the suit began, the claims and counterclaims have actually served to bolster the enterprise credibility of Linux."
'Pervasive, Useful and Vibrant'
The operating system is now "ingrained in the enterprise server market, and its intellectual property is less and less frequently an issue for enterprise users," Lyman asserted.
In fact, "because of the SCO cases -- and because it is open source -- many would argue that Linux has been through the most rigorous intellectual property review of any operating system on the planet," he pointed out.
In short, Lyman concluded, "this jury decision is a reinforcement of how pervasive, useful and vibrant Linux is today."

Middle East Trip
On May 16, Secretary Spellings became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to visit the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). Over the course of her five-day visit, the Secretary met with leading U.A.E. officials (including Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, her counterpart, Minister of Education Hanif Hassan, and Minister of Higher Education Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan), visited three colleges (the American University in Dubai [AUD], the American University of Sharjah [AUS], and Zayed University), and, in a culminating event, signed a special, five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dr. Hassan to encourage greater educational cooperation and exchange between the two countries. "The U.S. and the U.A.E. share more than just a first name," she said at AUD's commencement ceremonies, where more than 400 students received their graduation certificates. "We are united in our strong belief in education. And, we have made parallel journeys to improve our schools at every level. In this competitive century, change happens, whether we are ready or not." The first area of focus for the MOU is math, science, and language studies. For more information, please go to http://dubai.usconsulate.gov/spelling.html.
NCLB Update
Earlier this year, the Secretary announced a differentiated accountability pilot program that would allow states to distinguish between low-performing schools in need of dramatic interventions and those that are closer to meeting the goals of No Child Left Behind. The law currently treats all schools in improvement alike. The pilot would allow states to vary the intensity and type of interventions to match the academic reasons that led to a school's identification for improvement. And, in states with a significant percentage of schools identified, it would allow officials to target interventions and resources to schools most in need of reform. Seventeen states submitted proposals for consideration: AK, AR, FL, IN, LA, MD, NJ, NY, ND, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, and VA for implementation in the 2008-09 school year and GA and IL for implementation in the 2009-10 school year. After reviewing the proposals for four basic eligibility criteria, the Department has submitted all 17 states to a peer review panel. The panel will meet in June to evaluate the proposals using the agency's guidance (http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/daguidance.doc). After considering the peers' comments, the Secretary will approve up to 10 states to participate in the pilot. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/
Earlier this month, the Department published a statistical summary of Highly Qualified Teachers (HQTs) with three state data tables. During the 2006-07 school year, 94% of core academic classes in the nation's schools were led by HQTs. A higher percentage of classes were led by HQTs in elementary school (96%) than in secondary school (93%). Also, at both levels, classes in low-poverty schools were more likely to be led by HQTs than were classes in high-poverty schools. The percentage of classes led by HQTs has increased seven percentage points since 2003-04. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/teacherqual/resources.html.
Meanwhile, the Department has published Fiscal Year 2008 guidance for Title V, Part A of the No Child Left Behind Act (State Grants for Innovative Programs). The paper addresses the impact a lack of FY 2008 funding under Title V, Part A has on various flexibility provisions of the law and key requirements under the program. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/policy/innovative/titlevguidance2008.pdf.
Student Loan Access
On May 21, as part of its ongoing commitment to make sure students have access to federal student loans in the coming academic year, the Administration announced a four-part plan aimed to improve the functioning of the student loan marketplace and provide liquidity and stability in the near term. This plan includes: (1) a loan purchase commitment by which the Department agrees to purchase new federal loans originated for the 2008-09 school year (with the price of the loan equal to the sum of par value, accrued interest, the 1% origination fee paid to the agency, and a fixed amount of $75 per loan) and a facility for providing short-term liquidity to lenders lacking access to affordable capital due to disruptions in markets; (2) a commitment to continue working with the lending community, to explore ways to reengage markets; (3) a strengthened "lender of last resort" program to help protect students from shifting market forces; and (4) increased Direct Loan capacity, should it be needed to act as an extra cushion for students. "We want students to be able to concentrate on their studies, rather than worry about disruptions in the market and whether they will be able to obtain federal loans to help pay for school," Secretary Spellings said in a statement. "At the same time... we can also consider this a teachable moment that speaks to broader, long-term flaws in our complex and outdated financial system." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/05/05212008.html. (Note: The Administration is continuing to refine the pricing and conditions of these options to ensure they meet the requirement that they result in no net cost to the federal government. Final terms will be published in the Federal Register.)
"The National Indian Education Study" (NIES) is a two-part study designed to describe the condition of education for American Indian/Alaska Native students in the U.S. (NIES was first conducted in 2005.) Part I, released last week, presents detailed information on the academic performance of American Indian/Alaska Native students on the 2007 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reading and math tests. In both fourth- and eighth-grade, the students had lower average scores and proficiency rates compared to all other students in the country and, aside from fourth-grade math, showed no significant change since 2005. Yet, their performance was not significantly different than the scores for all racial/ethnic groups (even exceeding the scores of African-American students on math). In both grades and subjects, American Indian/Alaska Native students also performed better if they attended schools with smaller concentrations of similar students (less than 25) and attended a public schoolversus a Bureau of Indian Education school. Part II, to be released this summer, is a survey of the educational experiences of American Indian/Alaska Native students, focused on the integration of native language and culture into school and classroom activities. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/NIES/.
More Federal Research
Check out these other federal studies:
"Implementation Study of Smaller Learning Communities: Final Report" (http://www.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/other/small-communities/), from the Department's Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Development (OPEPD), studied the implementation of the agency's Smaller Learning Communities (SLC) discretionary grant program. On the one hand, the data suggests an upward trend in the percentage of SLC students participating in extra-curricular activities, ninth-graders being promoted to tenth-grade, and graduating students planning to attend either two- or four-year colleges, as well as a downward trend in the incidence of violence. On the other hand, there were no significant trends observed in academic achievement.
The latest results from the National Science Foundation's Math and Science Partnership Program (http://www.nsf.gov/news/
news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=111514) show not only improved proficiency among all elementary and middle school students but also a closing of the achievement gaps between both African-American and Hispanic students and white students in elementary school math and between African-American and white students in elementary and middle school science.
"Attrition of Public School Mathematics and Science Teachers" (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/
pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2008077), from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), indicates that the percentage of public school math and science teachers who left teaching did not change measurably between 1988-89 and 2004-05, even as the percentage of other public school teachers who left teaching did. When asked to rate various reasons for leaving teaching, greater percentages of math and science teachers than other teachers rated better salary or benefits as very or extremely important.
U.S. History Education
The National History Education Clearinghouse (http://teachinghistory.org/), funded by a $7 million, five-year grant from the Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII), is a one-stop so for accessing high-quality resources in K-12 U.S. history education. The clearinghouse provides hyperlinks to the most informative history content on the Internet. It also provides teaching resources and tools, such as guides to working with primary sources, lesson plan reviews, and models of exemplary teaching.

From staff reports
Ohio University Communications and Marketing in partnership with University Libraries is launching a new Compass series in honor of the Libraries' 200th anniversary. This is the first installment in the series, which will highlight the ways in which the University's library system has grown and adapted over the years and spotlight some little-known facts about University Libraries, the heart of Ohio University.
When the Ohio University Board of Trustees officially titled the University's small collection of books the "Library of Ohio University" on June 5, 1814, OHIO's founding fathers couldn't begin to imagine how quickly the library system would grow. What began as a small library located in the northwest corner of "The Academy" on OHIO's College Green, Ohio University Libraries has blossomed into one of the 100 largest academic libraries in the country, occupying seven floors in Alden Library, an extensive Music and Dance Library in Glidden Hall, as well as the Southeast Ohio Regional Depository (Annex), an off-campus high-density library storage facility.
University Libraries' growth from "The Academy" to Alden had several stops along the way, occupying a total of five locations on the University's College Green over the course of the past 200 years. Each of the library's locations has its unique story, creating a comprehensive history of how University Libraries has transitioned from a book-focused facility to a student-focused gateway for the teaching, learning, discovery and exchange of knowledge.
The map below illustrates the growth and movement of University Libraries on the Athens Campus over the years. Information in the map was taken from "200 Years of Shared Discovery: The Bicentennial of Ohio University Libraries," a book recently released in honor of the Libraries' 200th anniversary. The publication tells the complete story of University Libraries both in words and images captured over the course of its 200-year history.
The Ohio University and surrounding community is invited to celebrate University Libraries' 200th anniversary at the Founders Day Symposium from 1:30 to 4 p.m. March 25 on the fourth floor of Alden Library.
Titled "Founding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation, Nature, and the Shaping of the American Nation," this event will serve as the official kickoff for University Libraries' bicentennial. Speakers at the symposium include:
Andrea Wulf, New York Times best-selling author of "Founding Gardeners" and the 2013 Eccles British Library writer-in-residence, who will give the keynote address
Dr. David Holben, a professor of nutrition at OHIO, Fulbright Scholar and recipient of a University Professor Award, whose presentation is titled, "Thomas Jefferson: Gardener and Gastronome"
Lauren Cohen, a senior studying applied nutrition at OHIO, who will discuss "Athens Locavores"
The Founders Day Symposium is one of several events in the coming year that will celebrate University Libraries' long history of service to the University and Athens communities.

CONTRIBUTIONS MAY BE EMAILED (ADDRESS BELOW) !!!!!!!!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARTIFICIAL LIFE III June 15-19, 1992 Santa Fe, NM CALL FOR PAPERS We are happy to invite contributions for the Third Artificial Life Workshop, to be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, June 15-19, 1992. Artificial Life complements the traditional biological sciences concerned with the *analysis* of living organisms, by attempting to *synthesize* behaviors normally associated with natural living systems within computers and other "artificial" media. The synthesis of such biological processes as evolution, ecological dynamics, self-organization, morphogenesis, the spread of epidemics, and so forth, allows these processes to be studied in entirely new ways, many of which would be very difficult or even impossible to do when working with "the real thing." Contributions may be submitted in the following categories: TALK (please specify a 20 or a 45 minute talk); POSTER, which may include a computer display (BYOC); DEMONSTRATION, which includes computer demos and/or videos (please give time estimate); or OTHER (please specify). Authors should send an abstract (5 pages at most) to the address below by January 15, 1992. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL JAN. 14!!! Please try to get your abstract in early. Authors will be notified of the status of their contributions by March 15, 1992. Proceedings of the first two Artificial Life Workshops are now available from Addison Wesley Publishers (1-800-447-2226 to order). The proceedings of the second workshop also include a videotape. We intend to emphasize visualization in the third workshop as well, and encourage contributions based on working mobile robots. Contributions to the workshop will automatically be considered for inclusion in the proceedings. Papers for the proceedings will be due at the workshop, and papers may be submitted then which were not submitted as contributions to the workshop itself. The end of the workshop is the deadline for submission of papers for the proceedings. All papers received by the end of the workshop will be sent out for review and authors notified by the end of August. We will also be holding a greatly expanded "Artificial 4H Show," involving exhibits of, judging among, and contests between, various software and hardware artificial life forms. People who wish to enter their artificial organisms in the "Artificial 4H Show" should send a description of what they plan to exhibit to the address below. We will be announcing a series of contests and challenges for robots, genetic algorithms, and software life forms soon. Some of these will carry cash-prizes. All contests and challenges will be carried out during the workshop.

It begins, appropriately, with the winter doldrums and sweating out a new contract, then follows the author and his family to spring training in Florida and through the full season's schedule to October. One of the best baseball books ever written. It is probably one of the best American diaries as well. --New York Times Book Review

Archery Bows: How to get started: Pink Bow Accessories Archery
It could be that you are eager to be involved with archery bows, but do not know what is necessary. Archery is indeed a wonderful sport, but it does require you to have plenty of patience, skills and dedicated, so that you can enjoy it thoroughly.
Things to do
To enter this amazing sport, what you first require is the best quality archery bows. The other thing required is arrows to shoot. There are also certain accessories which are recommended to be had. While you start for the first time, you have to make this decision on which type of bow you would like to make use of to shoot. You can come across various types of bows in the market like recurves, compounds, longbows, takedown bows, etc. Hence, it will be useful on your part to undertake some research before actually committing to make the purchase.
Make the right choice
You need to understand that each bow tends to come with its very own unique attributes and are designed to fit all types of archers. After figuring out the preferred shooting type, the next task will be to figure out the budget allocated to spend. It can help to narrow down the search and take quick decisions.
Know the different types of arrows
You do require something with which you can shoot. There are arrows used popularly which are made from carbon, aluminum and wood. When shooting the archery bow, a lot does matter. It is necessary to ensure that the arrows used are consistent. More than wood or aluminum types, carbon is much more consistent, however, also expensive. Aluminum is relative inexpensive and can be a wonderful starter arrow. It is much more consistent when compared to wooden arrows. Trying to identify quality wood version can be really tough and is limited to those who are experienced and knowledgeable in this field.
Other accessories required
For using the archery bows, also is suggested the archery bow release or archery arm glove. This depends upon the bow type used. For starters, recurve bows can suit well. As you begin to move upwards in weight, fingers can get sore just after 40 to 50 shots. This is because of the finger pinch. Hence, there is a genuine need to use the glove.
Archery target
The next thing that you should consider to purchase for your favorite archery sport is to have an archery target. This way, you do not have to visit the local archery range, each time you want to practice shooting. You need to get a good quality archery target, which comes with lifetime guarantee. Therefore, to get that additional practice, you can easily shoot off dozens of arrows without any hassle. But the archery target actually is not a compulsion just like the arrows and bows are. However, it does help you to maximize your efforts in archery practicing.
Once you have the arrows, bows, accessories and target in place, you can start the practice immediately and have immense fun.

Does anyone know if there were many efforts made to scan magazines such as Starlog and Starburst that ran from the 1970s to more recent years? I know that SFX has been online since issue 190 (Jan 2010) with a few gaps.
I've just bought a few box loads of these old mags and wondered if there was much interest in scans of them, or a place to get the gaps in the collection.
Any ideas?

Perhaps you might not know if everything around you including yourself as a human can be protected fully from unexpected things that can be happened to you. You don't know when it happens to you so it is okay for you to prepare yourself with something beneficial. You can use insurance that will protect you and other things you have based on the amount of your money and also the range of time you want it to protect you.
Knowing Two Types of Insurance
Before getting yourself protected by insurance, you have you know some types of it that you need to choose based on your needs as the following:
- Home protection
Based on the name, this is made to protect your home living from something you don't want to happen and it can cause loss to you and family. This protection includes building and also contents inside the house. Building protection covers rebuilding and also repairing your home if it is damaged by something you don't do like lightening, fire, floods, storm and many things. Beside that, you may get contents protection that will cover your stuffs inside it from damage or loss by something like theft or affected by natural disasters happened to your buildings.
- Car protection
Do you have a car? Perhaps you don't think that you need this protection since you can protect it by yourself or you may think that you are a good driver so you will not get into accidents. However, you can't predict something bad happens so you need to prepare it first. This protection covers comprehensive things like damages such as natural disasters, accidents and other bad things. Also, you may need protection from theft or third party. It means people beside you drive the car and he or she gets into accident while driving you car.
By knowing these two kinds of insurance, you may choose the best protection you need based on your budget and also decision.

We could see how something like a company's social media rule book could be esoteric and uninteresting to regular readers, while somehow being interesting to journo dorks like us. But there's really interesting stuff in The Associated Press' new guidelines, we promise. Sure, it's an effort to show transparency (and other news organizations, like Sky News, have done the same), but the social media problems and The AP faces unique news organizations. For starters, they explain the trouble with "liking":
It is acceptable to extend and accept Facebook friend requests from sources, politicians and newsmakers if necessary for reporting purposes, and to follow them on Twitter. However, friending and "liking" political candidates or causes may create a perception among people unfamiliar with the protocol of social networks that AP staffers are advocates.
That's a little clunky, but basically, if you see your favorite AP reporter or blogger or anyone "liking" say, Michele Bachmann and her current McCarthyism spree on Facebook, it doesn't mean they actually "like" her comments. Rather, they're following that Bachmann's page, which might include valuable updates to the story. The Alantic's Garance Franke-Ruta has written about the problem with Facebook's "liking" sounding like an endorsement, and we wish more people (including non-journalists) would listen. And riffing off of that, The AP also explains the trouble with retweeting: That no one cares if your bio notes that retweets aren't endorsements:
Examples of retweets that can cause problems:
1. RT @jonescampaign: smith's policies would destroy our schools
2. RT @dailyeuropean: at last, a euro plan that works
Introductory words, colons and quote marks help make the distinction:
1. Jones campaign now denouncing Smith on education. RT @jonescampaign: smith's policies would destroy our schools
2. Big European paper praises euro plan. RT @dailyeuropean: at last, a euro plan that works
There are other updates, like AP journalists being allowed to live-tweet events before the stories get published and AP managers not friending their subordinates (but subordinates are totally allowed to do the friending) which are in their own ways helpful in case you were wondering how to get the latest information on Syria or entertained the thought about friending that intern (don't).
Head on over to The AP to see their new guidelines.

South Dakota Death Row Inmate Loses Another Appeal
An inmate on Death Row at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls has lost an appeal to the nation's highest court.
Attorney General Marty Jackley says the US Supreme Court has rejected Charles Russell Rhines' appeal of state court orders of his first-degree murder conviction and death sentence.
Rhines is awaiting execution for the March 8, 1992 stabbing death of Donnivan Schaefer, who was working at a doughnut shop in Rapid City when Rhines killed him during a break-in at the shop.
Jackley says the high court's decision "affirms that South Dakota hass taken proper precautions in drafting and implementing its death penalty statutes to assure that they meet constitutional requirements."
Rhines isn't out of appeals yet.
Jackley says the inmate has federal Habeas corpus claims that are currently pending before the federal trial court. Rhines also has the right to appeal any adverse decision of that court through the federal system.

Malaria's biggest enemy might be home grown here in Portland.
DesignMedix Inc. is a 5-year old durg-development startup led by Lynnor Stevenson and Sandra Shotwell, a former consulting tandem that once helped the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation navigate the intellectual property landscape around malaria vaccines.
In 2006, they met Portland State University chemistry professor David Peyton, who was working on technology for overcoming resistance to malaria drugs.
Together, they formed DesignMedix and are developing a product they hope could be in human clinical studies by the end of the year.
"The problem with drug resistance," Shotwell said, "is it's gotten worse while we've been working on this."
The technology: DesignMedix is a small-molecule drug development company with a focus on overcoming drug resistance in infectious and other diseases. The company's lead program is a cure for malaria.
Size of the market: The market world-wide for malaria drugs is more that $500 million. The market for antibotics and cancer drugs is several billion dollars.

Competitive Advantage: DesignMedix's technology is designed to overcome a key type of drug resistance found in malaria, bacteria, and cancer. DesignMedix's lead malaria drug worked in all patient samples tested.
Managers and their background: CEO Stevenson, Ph.D., has experience leading successful entrepreneurial biotech companies, inlcuding work leading to the development of bone growth factors now approved for sale in the U.S. and Europe. President and Chief Operating Officer Shotwell has experience transferring drug development programs to major pharmaceutical companies.

Complete Chess Strategy - VOLUME 3
Principles of Pawn Play and the Center
Publisher: ISHI Press Author: Ludek PachmanYear of Publication: 2012 (Reprint) Pages: 185Notation Type: Descriptive (DN) Book Description Continuing his major work on strategy and tactics in modern chess, the internationalyl renowned Grandmaster, Ludek Pachman, now turns his attention to the play of the pawns and the achievement of control of the center squares. Though the pawns are the weakest pieces in chess, their importance in determining the character of the attack (and defense) and the development of strategic play cannot be underestimated. Pawns are essential to the protection of important squares and pieces. They are the best means of blockading enemy pawns and when correctly deployed, their advance can open vital files and diagonals, thereby creating weaknesses in the opposite position. Despite its limited power, the pawn has one special advantage over other pieces in that it can be promoted when it reaches the eighth rank; a successful pawn advance can completely change the balance of power and the outcome of a game. Pawns have aptly been described as ''the soul of chess.'' Vital of chess mastery is a basic understanding of the importance of control of the center squares. The effectiveness of the pieces depend upon the strength of their position and center control creates a vital sapatial superiority. The effective play of the pawns and center control have been touched upon on other works, but seldom with the insight and lucidity revealed in this second volume of Pachman's masterwork.

The race for the Supporters' Shield isn't the only one heating up. With four games remaining (for most teams), the battle for the Budweiser Golden Boot is catching fire. Below, the top six at the moment.
Edson Buddle, Los Angeles, 14 goals, 21 games
At the beginning of the season, the Galaxy forward was simply unstoppable. In his first nine games, Buddle scored nine goals, bagging four braces in that span. His form won him a spot in the US World Cup team. Though he's slowed down a bit since his return, Buddle has still scored five goals in 12 games. [Watch: Buddle scores No. 14]
Juan Pablo Angel, New York, 13 goals, 26 games
The Red Bulls' target man is, by far, his team's leading scorer. Ángel, who has three braces on the season, has been a bit inconsistent. Until facing the Galaxy on Friday, the Colombian had gone five games without a goal, his longest spell. But when called upon to take the spot kick in the 2-0 win, he delivered the blow to reconcile with the net and pull closer to Buddle. [Watch: Angel buries PK vs. LA]
Dwayne De Rosario, Toronto, 12 goals, 24 games
Toronto's leader is, well, leading his team in goals and is second in assists. The Canadian international blazed out of the gates and, playing both domestic and international campaigns, slowly fell off pace. However, DeRo has recently re-emerged and is as hot as anyone, scoring three goals in his last two games out. [Watch: De Rosario's beautiful curler]
Sebastien Le Toux, Philadelphia, 12 goals, 23 games
Speaking of leaders, the man that has had the biggest impact on his team has been the Frenchman. Le Toux has been a big offensive spark for the expansion Philadelphia, leading his team in both goals and assists. Not only is he deep in the race for the Budweiser Golden Boot, he's also tagged in the race for league MVP. [Watch: Le Toux converts FK]
Chris Wondolowski, San Jose, 12 goals, 22 games
The Bay Area native has been a pleasant surprise for the Bay Area team. All season, Wondolowski has focused on working hard and helping San Jose, even if that meant playing in midfield instead of in his striking role. But against Toronto on Saturday, Wondo took a huge step forward in the race by scoring his career MLS hat trick, good for Player of the Week honors. [Watch: Wondolowski finishes hat trick]
Conor Casey, Colorado, 11 goals, 23 games
The big man has been big for the Rapids this season. A slow start led to his exclusion from the US World Cup roster, but after the league's World Cup break, Casey has been lethal. The striker has been very consistent and, since June 5, has scored seven goals in 14 games, including a header that nearly led to Real Salt Lake's first home loss in 24 games. [Watch: Casey quiets RSL]
Vote now and let us know who you think will take the prize at season's end.

Avalanches are not unpredictable, they happen for particular reasons at specific places and points in time. Don't become a victim, geteducated right here and right now!
See movie (5.41 min) Share on Facebook
Avalanches occur in terrain where skiing looks good. Knowledge is key. Avalanches occur on steep slopes that make for great skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and climbing. But getting caught in an avalanche is not simply bad luck. Avalanches happen for particular reasons at specific places and specific points in time. Knowledge and information are key to preventing avalanche accidents.
Knowledge is key in case of an avalanche accident. This film covers the basics and can get you on the right track to learn more.See movie (5.41 min)
An avalanche is simply a mass of snow sliding down a steep hill or mountain. The most dangerous is the slab avalanche which occurs when a cohesive plate of snow breaks free and slides down the mountainside.Snow slabs can be very soft (excellent powder skiing) or very hard (like a wood floor) and can become dangerous when overlaying a weaker layer of snow perched on a steep slope. Most avalanche victims trigger their own avalanche.
To gain knowledge and experience, take avalanche courses, travel with experienced people, and get out into the mountains to have fun, but be ready for rescue. If you are unsure about your ability to travel in avalanche prone terrain, stay on the pistes, or consider hiring a professional, certified guide.
Within ski areas, ski patrols use a combined program of monitoring, compaction, explosives and education to provide safe and enjoyable conditions.
Knowledge and information about snow and avalanches are the key to preventing avalanche accidents. The booklet contains information and hands-on tips that can help you and your friends stay safe in avalanche terrain.And on the DVD you meet professionals such as Jeremy Jones, Dylan Hood, Seth Morrison, Lyndsey Dyer and others to hear their view on why knowledge is key when riding in the backcountry.

Contrary to what many financial experts will tell you, investing in a 401k isn't for everyone.
1. You don't have a personal savings account that covers 6-9 months of bills and expenses. Experts say you should have at least 3-6 months saved in case of an emergency, but more and more people are moving toward 6-9 months as the benchmark. You need to have liquid, readily available cash to cover expenses if you lose your job or are in a pinch. Contribute here first before your 401(k).
2. Your company doesn't match your contributions. If your company isn't matching contributions there are other investment strategies you can use to save for retirement, that gives you a better idea of how much you will have when you do retire. Since your 401(k) is directly connected to the market conditions in 30-40 years, which is completely unpredictable, choose more conservative saving vehicles.
3. You have a lot of debt. Don't forget that your debt's interest is compounding just as much as money that's sitting in savings. If you have a substantial amount of debt with icky interest rates you're better off chiseling away at it early than investing it in the market.
4. You're saving for the down payment of a house. Typically 401ks allow a penalty free early withdrawal for those who have not been previous homeowners in the past two-years, which is awesome for first time buyers. However, the catch is only $10,000 of the early withdrawal avoids the 10% tax penalty on the funds, which means that you'll be paying an additional 10% tax on top of your additional income tax (which is determined by your tax bracket on those funds).
5. You need cash readily available. Money put into your 401(k) should not be touched until the age you can withdraw without penalty. Open up a savings account at Fidelity or ING. It usually takes 2 or 3 days to electronically transfer funds back and forth which means it's there when you need it, just not when you're at the ATM. Although this vehicle isn't ideal for retirement as its taxed as ordinary income tax every year, it's a great way to start saving that chunk of change you can eventually use to open an IRA. Consider money-market savings accounts too, as they typically earn higher interest rates and are still less risky than stocks invested in at the beginning of 401(k)s.

RoT-1 (aka the Texas Honeynet Project) is a young chapter, we were just officially formed in January 2011. That said, our original founding members have been active members of The Honeynet Project since its inception in the late 1990's, so we're not as young as it may seem.
Our rough center of mass, and primary meeting point is Austin, TX, though we have members in Houston and a few new recruits from the Dallas-Fort Worth area as well.
Our group was formed as an invitation-only chapter, however we encourage people near our bases of operation (Austin, Houston, DFW) to reach out to us and build a reputation and trust and solicit their own invitation. Anyone interested in contributing to our ongoing projects is welcome to contact us as well, and we'll review these on a case-by-case basis, based on a level of trust and merit.
The following is the current list of active members and their focus areas:
As of this report, the RoT-1 Chapter does not have any active server-style deployments, which is a bit of departure from previous chapter deployments. At our first all-hands meeting, in January 2011, we decided that for at least the time being our efforts would be better spent developing and deploying client side technologies, then focus on the scalability and data management issues that come along with that. We toyed with the idea of looking for malicious javascript, PDF, Flash, Office files, etc, but eventually settled on focusing our efforts on Android applications.
Our first deployment, whose development was sponsored and funded by Praetorian, was of the Scalable Tailored Application Analysis Framework (STAFF), developed by Ryan W Smith and Adam Pridgen. The goal of this framework was to provide large-scale static analysis for Android applications, to provide high level analytics, statistics and patterns. Our initial data processing was completed in May 2011, and consisted of the static analysis of over 50,000 applications from both the official Android Marketplace as well as third party marketplaces. We were able to extract data such as: Manifest values, permissions, receivers, interfaces, Dex bytecode, methods implemented, methods called, objects defined, control flow graphs, URLs contacted, etc. Many of the modules to extract these values used one or more third party tool, which was integrated into our modular framework.
We were able to provide a high level picture of certain attributes such as permissions requested, and libraries used, however it became clear that in order to compute the more complex aggregate information that we intend to that we would need to address certain scalability and data management issues. We are currently in the process of rewriting STAAF to be more modular, to use aggressive parrallelization (including an EC2 deployment), to further reduce processing and data redundancies, and to use a much more scalable and distributed database implementation. We plan to complete and release this new framework under the Apache 2 license later this year.
STAAF is designed to allow large scale distributed Android application analysis, and achieves this with aggressive parallelization of analysis tasks, de-duplication of processing efforts and data storage, as well as efficient data storage and recall. Because applications can be processed independently of each other, we are able to distribute the load of processing tasks for each application, which showed a marked improvement over the serialized application analysis. Additionally, rather than feeding every individual analysis tool the raw application we extract and process the required resources once, and then we feed the processed results into the analysis tools that require those resources. Furthermore, certain aspects of the application, such as library code (e.g. advertising libraries), and certain resources, are often reused between applications. Rather than analyzing these shared resources multiple times for each application that includes them, many tasks can ignore these shared resources, significantly cutting down on the amount of redundant data processing. Finally, we have designed the system using a distributed noSQL database solution. This database design provides low latency storage and recall, and also allows us to transparently include additional remote third party analysis databases for collaborative analysis and data sharing.
v0.2 - Available upon request, on a case-by-case basis. Note that v0.2 is a python implementation and does not provide the distributed or scalability enhancements.
v0.3 - Will be available later this year under the Apache 2 license, and will include all the distributed and scalability features listed above.
STAAF is a modular framework of analysis tools, and leverages many other open source Android analysis tools such as: androguard, apktool, baksmali, axmlprinter2, etc. These tools provide the fundamental Android data parsing and interpretation, which we then use to provide the higher level data and results. A lot of credit goes to Anthony Desnos, for a lot of quick feedback and new features from the Androguard Project.
STAAF is designed to allow the integration of new "native" tools to extract new features or data very quickly and easily. That said, we are interested in collaborating with and integrating any tools that do data analysis or reverse engineering on Android applications.
Collaboration Request:
We also plan to extend our framework to other mobile platforms as well, so we would appreciate any expertise, experience, or tools for iPhone, Window7, Blackberry, or even apps for Chrome or browser extensions.
Resource Request:
We are also in need of a free or low-cost cloud solution, or simply resources for hosting a large number of virtual machines to test and deploy the STAAF framework and future distributed data analysis projects. We are currently using EC2, but our servers/services are generic Java services on each host, and we're using a multi-instance, multi-database CouchDB solution for the database, so it's generic enough to move out of EC2 with no modifications.
Full details can be found at http://www.honeynet.org/gsoc/slot6. This project is being mentored by Ryan W Smith and implemented by student Cong Zheng. The intent of the project is to produce a free GUI that's context-aware for Android Analysis. Currently Cong has made great progress and has implement modules for APK information browsing, module/ method context menus, Smali code view (contextual), and CFG view (contextual). After the midterm he plans to implement features such as notes, annotations, and contextual jumps between cfg and smali code, as well as the ability to save and share analysis notes and views.
Collaboration Request:
We would like a organize and lead a KYE paper on Android Malware and Android Analysis. I know there are plenty or other members with different perspectives and expertise, so I'd like to recommend that we pool our knowledge, pick some focus areas, and release a KYE from our collective experience.
Being that this is the first year, we can't judge past performance. That said, for our first year (2011), our goals are:

A scant two months ago, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole expressed concern the national Republican Party had swung so far to the right that he would be unelectable.
The GOP's standard-bearer in the 1996 presidential race, Dole said other party icons such as Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon wouldn't make it either. Not with bipartisanship being a dirty word and conservatives pushing moderates out office.
The Russell native went as far to say: "I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors that says 'closed for repairs' until New Year's Day next year and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas."
We thought the party might listen. Bob Dole, after all, is a heavyweight in the pantheon of pachyderm patriarchs.
After reading this past week's news, however, we need to adjust expectations. Dole did a 180 right here in the Sunflower State and signed on with Gov. Sam Brownback's 2014 re-election campaign. Dole will serve as an honorary national co-chair along with Mary Jean Eisenhower, a granddaughter of an even larger Kansas icon.
The co-chairs praised the governor as "a good man with the right ideas and experience" in a letter released by Brownback's office.
We find it difficult to reconcile the national scene being so bad it should be "closed for repairs" while Brownback, who takes the conservative push to even further extremes, is praised.
The Kansas governor doesn't even have to feign interest in bipartisanship. There simply aren't enough Democrats in the Statehouse to worry about, let alone include them in budget discussions. As for moderate Republicans, Brownback personally helped drive them out of office during the last election cycle by backing conservatives.
So many long-standing, respected Republicans were targeted by the governor that a new political party was formed, the Moderate Party of Kansas. Its founding members currently are attempting to gather enough signatures statewide for official recognition so candidates can run in next year's elections, including for governor.
Democrats are scurrying to find their candidate as well. They hope to have a presumed nominee in place by Labor Day.
Both Democrats and Moderates will have their work cut out for them, given the governor's existing war chest, fundraising prowess, and the ever-present Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Koch brothers.
Still, it wouldn't be unprecedented for a non-Republican to be elected to Cedar Crest. The Populist Party has had two winning candidates. Democrats have fielded 10 1/2 -- it's tough to count Mark Parkinson fully, as he was a Republican up until almost the very day he assumed the office and never stood for a gubernatorial election.
Republicans historically have dominated the office. Brownback is the 33rd in a long line.
Yet Brownback represents the very problem Dole was complaining about two months ago. The governor is a dogmatic conservative with no room for compromise.
We only can conclude Bob Dole is the one who's been compromised, as Kansas residents will be if they follow their icon's lead.

Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV sitcoms and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull grinds, their noses always stuck in a book. They're klutzes at sports and dweebs when it comes to the opposite sex.
How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?
Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont (W.Va.) Senior High School. She also sings in the choral ensemble, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained a 4.0 grade-point average (GPA), meaning A's in every subject.
Melendres, now a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played varsity soccer and junior- varsity basketball, exhibited at the science fair, was chosen for the National Honor Society and National Association of Student Councils and did student commentaries on a local television station. Valedictorian of his class, he achieved a GPA of 4.4 — straight A's in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A's in two college-level honors courses.
How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren't the only answer. "Top grades don't always go to the brightest students," declares Herbert Walberg, professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students. "Knowing how to make the most of your innate abilities counts for more. Infinitely more."
In fact, Walberg says, students with high I.Q.s sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower I.Q.s. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to buckle down.
Hard work isn't the whole story, either. "It's not how long you sit there with the books open," said one of the many A students we interviewed. "It's what you do while you're sitting." Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.
The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of straight-A students.
Set priorities. Top students brook no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is booted up, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business; business comes before recreation.
Study anywhere — or everywhere. Claude Olney, an Arizona State University business professor assigned to tutor failing college athletes, recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Olney persuaded him to use the time to memorize biology terms. Another student posted a vocabulary list by the medicine cabinet. He learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth.
Among the students we interviewed, study times were strictly a matter of personal preference. Some worked late at night when the house was quiet. Others awoke early. Still others studied as soon as they came home from school when the work was fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. "Whatever I was doing, I maintained a slot every day for studying," says Ian McCray, a Middlebury College student from New Jersey.
Get organized. In high school, McCray ran track, played rugby and was in the band and orchestra. "I was so busy, I couldn't waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it," he says.
Paul Melendres maintains two folders — one for the day's assignments, another for papers completed and graded. Traci Tsuchiguchi, a top student at Clovis West High School in Fresno, Calif., has another system. She immediately files the day's papers in color-coded folders by subject so they'll be available for review at exam time.
Even students who don't have a private study area remain organized. A backpack or drawer keeps essential supplies together and cuts down on time-wasting searches.
Learn how to read. "The best class I ever took," says Christopher Campbell, who graduated from Moore (Okla.) High School last spring, "was speed-reading. I not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book's table of contents, graphs and pictures first. Then, when I began to read, I had a sense of the material, and I retained a lot more."
In his book Getting Straight A's, Gordon W. Green, Jr., says the secret of good reading is to be "an active reader — one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author's message."
Schedule your time. When a teacher assigns a long paper, Domenica Roman draws up a timetable, dividing the project into small pieces so it isn't so overwhelming.
"It's like eating a steak," she says. "You chew it one bite at a time."
Melendres researches and outlines a report first, then tries to complete the writing in one long push over a weekend. "I like to get it down on paper early, so I have time to polish and review."
Of course, even the best students procrastinate sometimes. But when that happens, they face up to it. "Sometimes it comes down to late nights," admits Christi Anderson, an athlete, student-council member and top student at Lyman High School in Presho, S.D. "Still, if you want A's, you make sure to hit the deadline."
Take good notes — and use them. "Reading the textbook is important," says Melendres, "but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized. That's what you find in your notes."
The top students also take notes while reading the text assignment. In fact, David Cieri of Holy Cross High School in Delran, N.J., uses "my homemade" system in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the teacher's lecture on the other. Then he is able to review both aspects of the assignment at once.
Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. Anderson uses those few minutes to write a two- or three-sentence summary of the lesson's principal points, which she scans before the next day's class.

Morgan Stanley's first-quarter earnings show that not much has been done to heal the weakness in its fixed-income department. Revenue from trading bonds, commodities, and currencies fell 42 percent to $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2013 from $2.6 billion in the year-earlier period.
Those results a markedly worse than the firm's competitors. Goldman Sachs saw its fixed-income trading revenue decline by just 7 percent.
Equities sales and trading for institutional clients did not provide any relief here either, with revenue falling 20 percent.
It appears that Morgan Stanley's customers are either pulling back, moving business to rival Wall Street firms, or that Morgan Stanley is just making serious trading errors. Morgan pointed to interest rates and commodities as a particular source of weakness.

SpaceX says its Falcon 9 v1.1 medium-class launcher is expected to receive U.S. Air Force approval this year to compete against United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas 5 and Delta 4 rockets for launches of sensitive national security payloads.
SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell says Falcon 9 certification is expected this year, "in time to compete for the first round" of Air Force contracts to be awarded in 2014 under the service's Evolved, Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program.
"We anticipate awards in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2014," she told Aviation Week & Space Technology in a Feb. 27 interview.
Last month, SpaceX moved a step closer to bidding for U.S. national security launch contracts when the Air Force announced that a Sept. 29 debut of the new Falcon 9 v1.1 would count as the first of three launches needed to qualify the rocket.
The announcement followed a Dec. 19 agreement between the Air Force and ULA for a bulk purchase of up to 50 rocket cores under the EELV program, 14 of which will be open for competition with SpaceX.
Shotwell said in addition to three successful Falcon 9 v1.1 launches required by the Air Force, SpaceX is dealing with "much stricter" requirements than those imposed on Boeing and Lockheed Martin when they sought Air Force certification for Delta and Atlas launch vehicles more than a decade ago.
Beyond that, she said SpaceX is subject to a comparable level of government scrutiny.
"We have engineering review boards, which are like design reviews for every box, every element of software," she said "We have audits and reviews of our launch site, of our production, of our quality system, so it's not just the three flights. It's getting through very detailed knowledge and insight on how the vehicle was designed, how we incorporate changes and make sure the Air Force understands the system at a detailed level, so they have confidence in it."
With plans to compete with ULA for launches of heavier payloads in the coming years, SpaceX is also preparing to test and qualify the new Falcon Heavy launch vehicle in 2015.
Although it was initially slated to debut this year, SpaceX founder, CEO and Chief Designer Elon Musk says the company's production schedule is too tight to support a test flight of the heavy-lift rocket from Vandenberg AFB, Calif., in 2014.
"We need to find three additional cores that we could produce, send them through testing and then fly without disrupting our launch manifest," Musk said in a Feb. 20 interview. "I'm hopeful we'll have Falcon Heavy cores produced approximately around the end of the year. But just to get through test and qualification, I think it's probably going to be sometime early next year when we launch."
