A team of Australian iOS developers have won $10,000 for their health focused app 'Medic', which provides non-urgent medical advice to users not needing to call 000.
Team Bonobo+1, made up of Michael Del Borrello, Nathan Hamey, Ben Hamey and Daryl Teo, were awarded the prize at Melbourne's iOS vs Android Hackathon event last weekend, with team member Ben Hamey saying he hopes the app will be released to the public shortly.
"We think Medic is a genuinely useful app and we will be releasing it onto the app store after a bit more refinement," Hamey said.
"We can see potential for a series of apps that would leverage SAPI data in a similar way to help solve everyday problems."
The team was one of eight competing in the competition; with six Android and two iOS teams developing seven apps between them.
Telstra's search and directory subsidiary, Sensis, sponsored the event, with senior partnerships manager, Tim Corr, saying the judges were impressed with Medic's simple yet effective interface and user experience.
"The Medic app generates a series of large, clear information cards with a simple layout to help users focus and remain calm, with only one recommended option presented at a time," Corr said.
"It is well designed and thought through from a user-perspective...the judges also noted that the app was an easily scalable solution that could easily translate to other industry segments and had a real 'wow' factor in terms of design and integration."
Using server application programming interface (SAPI) to help users determine the severity of their medical situation, the app helps find a nearby doctor for users and has functionality to email or SMS a family member to keep them updated on the situation.
A $250 prize was also awarded to entrant Eric Bae for the best new feature request, while the people's choice award of $500 went to an Android transport app 'Friend Compass'.

Kevin Duffy: A year later, Calhoun and Napier still in the fight
STORRS -- It was a year ago today that Shabazz Napier sat with his face pointed toward the Gampel Pavilion floor, shoulders slumped, the brim of his Boston hat pulled low to shield his tears.
Jim Calhoun announced his retirement that day. And as he spoke, as he told the crowd "the first step in being special is believing you're special," Napier pondered an announcement of his own.
"When (Calhoun retired), I felt betrayed," Napier said Thursday. "The way (the coaching staff) went about it, I felt it was wrong. It just seemed like a planned process. And that's the reason I felt like it was kind of selfish in a way. That's the reason I planned on transferring."
Calhoun had arrived at the decision to retire roughly a week before he signed the papers. Napier, who learned the news online, spent the next week weighing the option of a transfer. He was upset that Calhoun, a "father figure," allowed his retirement to go public without first informing his players. He was distraught, unsure of what would come next.
A full year later, Napier drapes a UConn towel over his head as he walks through the Gampel basement, a rigorous hill workout complete. Rodney Purvis, the latest top-tier talent to land in Storrs, is hoisting jump shots in the gym. Kevin Ollie has just arrived back from a recruiting trip.
And upstairs, in a new office above the court, Calhoun -- the special adviser to the athletic director -- shuffles through papers, putting together a list of speakers for his Sept. 22 tribute at Gampel. His sister, Margaret, calls and says she might not make it. Calhoun says she will.
"You have to get down here," he tells her.
And that's that.
Sometimes people need a push. Jim Calhoun usually doesn't mind giving it to them.
A year ago, because of the timing of his retirement (what Napier called the "planned process"), Calhoun pushed new athletic director Warde Manuel into appointing Ollie, which, as it turns out, was the right move all along.
"I thought if I was going to retire, if I could get my own guy," Calhoun said Thursday, "well, one of our guys, because that's what this whole thing is about. It's not about me. It's about family."
Today, it's about bridging the gap between eras, keeping the momentum rolling from a prolific 26-year run. Ollie did that in Year One. He won 20 games, a few more than expected, a few less than what was attainable if not for a brutal late-season string of injuries. He stuck with it, Calhoun said, never giving up on situations -- like the team's rebounding woes.
Oh yeah, he also had Shabazz Napier.
"Shabazz Napier is one of the most valuable players we've had in a long time," Calhoun said. "It was Kemba-esque, the kind of stuff he was doing. Not quite at that level, but I couldn't believe what he did in the overtimes."
It's true: Napier's presence (really, his sheer dominance) masked the frontcourt deficiencies that plagued the Huskies a season ago. Overcoming a lack of size and talent up front was the small-picture obstacle of 2012-13. The big picture, of course, was settling the coaching situation.
"I didn't create this, and Warde (Manuel) didn't mean to create this, but Kevin (Ollie) ended up becoming an underdog," Calhoun said. "You say, `He's a UConn guy, he's there (as a player), he's the coaches' choice, he deserves a chance.' So the unintended consequences of that was Kevin becoming the guy everybody rooted for. And that's great. No one planned it, but it happened."
Year Two post-Calhoun presents a similar X's and O's challenge. The frontcourt problems don't change, and the availability of two bigs -- Tyler Olander and Kentan Facey -- is up in the air. Arrested earlier this week for a second time in six months, Olander is indefinitely suspended. Facey, a 20-year-old freshman originally from Jamaica, could be ineligible for the entire season (that's usually the outcome of these NCAA delayed enrollment cases). Enosch Wolf is gone, too, leaving sophomore Phil Nolan and freshman Amida Brimah as the only sure-fire post players.
"I truly believe if we get enough play on the inside, that we can be one of the top 10 or 15 teams in the country," Calhoun said.
The big-picture concern is this: Can the backcourt be great enough to make this team great enough to succeed at a customary UConn-level despite a non-customary conference?
It's the league affiliation that has become UConn's latest roadblock -- real or media-generated -- on the path to future greatness. In some odd way, even with Ollie firmly in place and the postseason ban complete, there's still this floating perception that UConn, the three-time national champion, is an underdog.
Calhoun refutes it.
"I like two things," Calhoun said. "I like being No. 1 because that means everyone thinks you're good. And if enough people say it, that means you probably are pretty good. And I've always tried to play the underdog. But I don't think we're much of an underdog anymore."
A year ago, after Napier ultimately opted against transferring, he led one of UConn's great underdog stories. Cut from the same tough Boston fabric as Calhoun -- "His accent is different than mine, and he's a different color, but he's a father figure," Napier said -- the junior couldn't walk away after a disappointing 2012 NCAA tournament loss to Iowa State, the final game Calhoun would ever coach.
"I didn't want to sit out (if I transferred)," Napier said, "and I had something to prove -- to the coaches, to the fans, to everyone."
So here he is today, a senior, the face of a UConn squad fully capable of a typical UConn NCAA tournament run. On the eve of the one-year anniversary of Calhoun's retirement, Napier and the Huskies run hills. Ollie is on the road recruiting, seeking new talent that can keep the program at the heights it reached under Calhoun. The former coach is in his new office, speaking almost exclusively of the future.
"My whole thing is, we need to think about what the UConn attitude is going to be like," Calhoun said. "My attitude is, when I came here (in 1986), we had a fight.
"And I'm still here, and we still have a fight."

Audrey Todd found the back of the net three times against the Big Green (Ted Keating).
HANOVER, N.H. – Audrey Todd netted three goals for her fourth hat trick of the season, but the Harvard women's lacrosse team slipped on the road at No. 20 Dartmouth, 15-8, Friday evening.
Danielle Tetreault added two tallies for the Crimson (2-11, 1-5 Ivy League) for the 109th and 110th goals of her career. Goalie Melanie Cook stopped five shots in net for Harvard.
Dartmouth (9-6, 5-2) was led by Liz Calby and Hana Bowers, who both scored five goals on the evening. Kristen Giovanniello played most of the game in net for the Big Green, recording four saves.
The Big Green jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but the Crimson came back to tie the game. Todd netted back-to-back goals at 22:50 and 22:18, and Micaela Cyr with a tally to knot the game, 3-3, at 17:17. After Dartmouth went back ahead, 4-3, Tetreault found the back of the net for the equalizer with 13:06 left in the first.
With 4:46 remaining in the frame, Chelsey Newman made a pass to Kyleigh Keating, who put a shot in the back of the net, giving Harvard a 5-4 edge. Two minutes later, Tetreault gave the Crimson a two-goal edge, 6-4, with 2:37 to go. Dartmouth tacked on a score late in the first, as Harvard led, 6-5, at the break.
In the second, Calby struck for the third and fourth time of the night, as the Big Green went back in front, 7-6. At the 24:33 mark, Nina Kucharczyk tied the game for Harvard, and then at 23:23, Todd completed her hat trick with a tally, as the Crimson grabbed an 8-7 advantage.
The Big Green scored the game's next three goals to make it 10-8 in favor of Dartmouth with 20 minutes left. Dartmouth followed with five more tallies to end the game on an 8-0 run.
The Crimson led in ground balls, 5-4, and was perfect on clear-attempts, going 11-of-11. The Big Green carried the edge in shots, 27-17.
Harvard will return to Cambridge to host Columbia on Senior Day Sunday, April 28 at 1 p.m. Prior to the contest, seniors Melanie Cook, Micaela Cyr, Mariel Jenkins, Nina Kucharczyk, Danielle Tetreault and Jennifer VanderMeulen will be honored.

Quinn challenges church over patronage of schools
Minister suggests teaching of religion at either end or start of school day
Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn notes that one of the issues highlighted by the report of the forum on pluralism and patronage is "respecting a child's rights not to receive religious instruction".
Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn has thrown down a challenge to the Catholic Church to give concrete examples of how its schools can be "genuinely inclusive" for children of all faiths and none.
In an address to be delivered at a teacher union conference this morning, Mr Quinn says is it "disappointing" that the church has failed to provide such information to his department as had been promised in previous discussions.
He also suggests that, in developing policies on inclusivity, Catholic schools in areas where there is no alternative patronage should consider timetabling faith formation at the start or end of the day to minimise disruption to class.
The intervention comes just days after Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin called for an acceleration of reforms to achieve a "plurality of patronage" in Irish education. In an interview with The Irish Times , the archbishop said he believed "a more robust collaboration" between the church and the Department of the Education "would make these things move a little quickly".
Robust collaboration
Picking up on these comments, Mr Quinn says: "I look forward to working with Archbishop Martin and others to develop that robust collaboration."
He notes that one of the issues highlighted by the report of the forum on pluralism and patronage in 2012 is "respecting a child's rights not to receive religious instruction".
Some 1,700 of the State's 3,200 primary schools are in areas where there is no alternative school – and thus local children are typically obliged to accept Catholic patronage.
White Paper
Mr Quinn is developing a White Paper on inclusivity in these "standalone" schools and he urges the church to engage fully in this process.
"We are regularly told that our denominational schools are inclusive and there is anecdotal evidence that this is true in many cases – thanks to the good work of teachers, who are determined to welcome all children.
"However, we need clearly demonstrated examples of genuinely inclusive schools, so that other schools can learn what works for them.
"It is regrettable that, two years after the publication of the forum report, we have yet to see such exemplars furnished by the Catholic Church – the main patron of primary schools in this country. That is disappointing, but I remain convinced of the importance of having such exemplars, to help guide the approach in all of our schools."
While he says he doesn't wish to be prescriptive about policies on inclusivity, there are suggestions that could be usefully aired.
"For example we could have more flexible timetabling for religious education. One possibility, raised in the forum report, was for religion classes to be held at different times for different class groups. This would allow students opting out of religion classes to participate in another class. Such an arrangement could work better in larger schools.
"Another option in some cases would be to have faith formation at the start or end of a school day."
Mr Quinn points out that, aside from the white paper, these issues might also be addressed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment this October in its consultation proposals for the revision of the primary curriculum.
"This will again allow for an examination of timetabling religion at the start or end of the school day, or scheduling religion at different times for different classes in larger schools."
Noting his views on this topic "have often been misrepresented", Mr Quinn expresses his long-time admiration for Catholic theologian, Hans Küng, and says it is important to differentiate between faith formation, and education about religion and beliefs.
"Education about religion and beliefs, as I have said repeatedly, is an essential component of any well-rounded education."
Faith formation, he says "is equally important for many families; indeed for most families" and the rights of these families are clearly outlined in the constitution. But "so too are the rights of families who wish to allow their children to opt-out of this aspect of religious education."

The Utah subsidiary of a Paris-based global customer support and call center, Teleperformance Inc., has notified the state it was closing its Ann Arbor offices and letting go all 430 employees.
Vice President of Human Resources Marcie Ballard said the company was not able to renew its contract with its Ann Arbor client and was "providing (the state) as much advanced notice of the closure as possible under the circumstances." The layoffs were to take place Sunday.
The letter does not identify the client, but Google confirmed it has opted not to renew Teleperformance's contract. Google employs 300 people in Ann Arbor and Birmingham offices.
The contract termination is completely unrelated to Google Inc.'s employees and office space footprint in Ann Arbor or Birmingham, or the Google for Entrepreneurs unit moving into Grand Circus Detroit LLC in the Broderick Tower, said Rebecca Rutkoff, global communications and public relations manager at Google.
She would not comment on the reasons for contract termination, or who will replace Teleperformance, except to say the work will continue to be performed elsewhere in the United States. The company has a policy against discussing its vendors.
The address on Traverwood Drive, where the call center is located, is listed as the Ann Arbor offices of Newport Beach, Calif.-based MSC Software Corp. A phone call to MSC was not immediately returned.
Typically, federal law requires companies with more than 100 employees to file a notice with state and local governments 60 days in advance of any planned plant or building closures or layoffs that affect more than 50 employees.

Vikings QB Brett Favre isn't having the greatest season of his storied career.
His team is 3-5. His coach is a hapless nimrod. He's been subjected to any number of delightful ankle and chin injuries. He's been accused of sexual harassment. And he's doling out interceptions like free turkeys on Thanksgiving.
Given all that, it's easy to see why people might once more be suckered into believing Favre when he says he's done at the end of this season. From ESPN via an interview with NFL Network:
"I can promise you this: Not that I have ever set out as a goal to play 20 years, it's 20 years and I'm done. This is the last year of my contract," he said when the season began…
Will Favre return to play in 2011?
"No," said Favre.
This kind of definitive answer from Favre is nice to take in. There's no "You never say never," or "Shucks guys, even I don't know what I'm liable to do." He sounds like a man who is tired of playing and likely regrets even coming back for this season.
But no one's gonna buy Favre finally retiring until next November rolls around and Favre has spent half a season out of uniform. That's just how we have to deal with him at this point. It's going to take him saying it again and again and again and again. And again. And then finally acting on it. Lord knows I WANT to believe him.
But I will tell you this: The fact that Favre is talking about this now suggests that he's been exhausted by the sequence of events leading up to the season's midway point. And while the Vikings have an easy schedule coming up and had that monster comeback versus Arizona, his talk about finally retiring suggests to me that he may not have the strength to get the Vikings back above .500 by year's end.
He sounds like he's ready to retire after Week 12 and go grab the early bird special. Given the way things have gone lately, you couldn't blame him for maybe, at long last, finally committing to the end.

Roger Waters on Pink Floyd: 'It Was Over in 1985′
Former Pink Floyd maestro Roger Waters may be riding high with a hugely successful touring version of 'The Wall,' but that doesn't mean he would ever consider touring with his former band again. In a recent interview, the singer-songwriter and bass player spoke succinctly about the matter, saying, "It was over in 1985, and it's still over."
Waters spoke to Britain's Sun newspaper about his preparations for staging his touring spectacular at Wembley Stadium in September, and when asked if he could ever see performing again with Floyd's surviving members, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, he didn't hesitate. "I can't," he replied. "I left Pink Floyd for very good reasons, and it was the right and proper thing to do."
After Waters left, Floyd went on to record and tour without him, which exacerbated their already deep-seated differences. But against all odds, the band re-formed in 2005 for a one-off gig at Live 8. Keyboardist Richard Wright passed away in 2008, and though Waters says Mason would "jump back in a heartbeat," he just doesn't see it happening.
In fact, he was initially reluctant to even undertake 'The Wall' again. When his wife suggested the idea, Waters dismissed her outright. "I said, 'Be quiet, you don't understand,'" he laughingly admits. "Then I started figuring out whether it was possible. Eventually I told her, 'You know what? You were right.'"

Howdy all-- I am at wits end with my problem. I sent the following to ATT Closed Captioning e-mail and got an autobot reply to use the online tech service. I did so, and they walked me through a "disaster recovery" reset (not using the reset button, but dowloading and flashing the operating system software for the box) with them finally referring me to ATT ICU (what the heck is ICU, Intensive Care Unit?) Any Ideas from forum people appreciated greatly.
Hello: I am profoundly deaf and must use closed captioning on my televisions. I have had and currently have a serious and annoying problem with one of the set top boxes (Motorola HD DVR). The closed captioning begins and runs for any where from 1-10 minutes, then freezes (sometimes in mid-sentence) and does not pick up again. The Philips HD TV is connected to the set-top box by means of a HDMI cable. The only way to regain the closed captions are to either switch channels and then switch back to the channel I was watching; or do a quick (7-second) backspace of the program, then captions will be there for the part that was not captioned. It will then run captions for a while, then freeze again. I can record a few minutes of a program and then replay it. However, the recorded closed captions will eventually freeze and disappear even in recorded programs. As I said, I know the captions are being sent by the programmers and by the U-verse system because they are being recorded. I also checked some local channels using my antenna when the U-Verse captions disappear and they are being sent and read by the over-the-air television HDTV tuner.
The following have not solved the problem -- - turning on both digital (high definition) and analog (standard definition). - turning captioning to digital off and analog on and vice versa. - re-setting the set-top box. - restarting the set-top top box by disconnecting and reconnecting power. - resenting/restarting U-verse 3800HGV-8 modem. - calling ATT help line and re-performing the above steps several times. - having a service call by ATT U-verse technician, xxxxxx xxxx who again performed the above steps.
He then did the following -- - determined that there could be a low signal problem with the Time Warner Cable installation which was used when the system was installed over a year ago. - replaced the RG television cable connected the set top box that was having problems with a direct connection to the modem by means of an Ethernet CAT-5 cable ($55 service installation charge) and replaced the second set top box (Motorola) (which was not having problems) with a Cisco, wireless set top box (which works well) with the Cisco transmitter connected directly to the modem. - returned the next day, when notified that all his work on the system was for naught, and personally saw the problems for himself. He then obtained a new work order from his supervisor and replaced the Motorola HD DVR. We then watched and waited until the same freezing and drop out again. We check the over-the-air signal and found that the captions were being transmitted by the station and could be seen on the U-verse system if the program was re-wound 7-seconds. We both then agreed there was nothing more he could do to solve the problem and that he would report it to ATT. I said I would also report it, which I am doing in this e-mail.
I really know little about how the system works, but offer the follow information and suggestions -- - the problem appears to only occur on the one set top box (Motorola VIP1225/297; (Current Serial No. Mxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, bootstrap ROM 1.1027, TV2 Client Version 2.1.2295.10), not on the second SDTV installation using the Cisco box. - because the captioning signal is present on the U-Verse feed, the problem appears to be in the hardware software/firmware in the set top box that uses the signal and is probably present in all boxes of the same Motorola model available to ATT service in this area. With my very limited knowledge of digital electronics, hardware, software/firmware, programming, etc., I suggest it could be a glitch not allowing the used captioning to be dumped and thus loads up the buffer until it can store no more captioning data. I am very anxious to have this problem solved ASAP.
Please forward this e-mail to the appropriated department for resolution.
Thank you very much, in advance, for your prompt attention to this problem.
Edited for easier reading
Solved by: Go to Solution.
I'm experiencing the same problem. Started right after the last software update.
I have the Motorola VIP1216/297, Bootstrap ROM version: 1.1027, TV2 Client version: 2.1.2295.10 (RELEASE).
In my opinion, it's not a hardware problem. It's too much of a coincidence that as soon as they update the software problem, we start to see this CC problem. Also, as PHOnos mentioned, if you back it up 7 seconds and replay the show where the CC froze, the closed caption will start working. It's like the CC decoder freezes once in awhile and you either have to back up and replay or channel up/channel down to reset it.
Also, I at first thought it was a channel problem. I kept seeing it on only one channel (KCOP 1013). Then last night it happen on another channel but not as frequent as the 1013. Most channels I never see this problem either. Maybe it's a signal quality thing.

My problem is the worst on KABC-1007, but it occurs on all channels and on all recorded programs. Now that you mention it, the problem may have started with the last software update. When was it?
New development -- I have only been watching HD channels using only the SD captioning turned on (HD captioning off) which used to work fine. I disabled most of the SD channels that duplicate their feed in HD. Last night I switched to SD KABC-7 and the captioning did not freeze and disappear?. Now watching KABC-7 HD (local OTA) using the TV tuner. But as I'm paying the "HD Technology Fee" and problem occurs on all channels this is not a permanent fix.
As the Cisco box is wireless (and, I am told supports HDMI) I am going to move it temporarily down to the HD TV and see what that give me. After that, I will have my wife (who can hear on the phone) call the ICU (whatever that is?). Stay tuned.
Edit - added info.

Your other box is running the same software version and it doesn't have the problem.
Even though you did a disaster recovery, that would only correct software/firmware faults. I think there might be a hardware problem, thus necessitating a replacement.
Joe you may be correct about the replacement but, I have the Cisco wireless STB now running on the HD TV and it is not running the same software version. It is running TV2 2.0.1047.45 and the ROM Boot is 2.1222. (not bootstrap ROM 1.1027, TV2 Client Version 2.1.2295.10).
Watching the Food Channel HD for about 30 minutes and hasn't lost the captioning yet. I have the HD caption set to off and the SD set on. The real test will come after 16:00 PST when the news on KABC-HD starts.
I cannot believe how fast this Cisco STB started up and immediately started responding correctly to remote button commands. The DVR needs about 4-5 minutes before it responds correctly (if at all).
Edit to add: bootstrap ROM 1.1027, TV2 Client Version 2.1.2295.10

Well, the new Cisco wireless units, the Cisco ISB7500 (wired high capacity DVR) and the Motorola VIP2250 (wired high capacity DVR) all use a newer processor that is significantly faster.
While watching the Food Channel with my wife (well she was) I got to thinking if maybe the processor in the DVR was to slow to keep up with all the data HD requires and the best thing to ignore was the captioning?
@SomeJoe7777 wrote:
However, they should eventually be running the same software version, it may take them a while to update. Maybe after your Cisco updates to the same TV2 client (2.1.2295.10), you'll see if the same problem occurs.
At that point Time Warner (sucks) will get a new customer, I guess.
@SomeJoe7777 wrote:
At least switching your boxes around has worked around the problem for now.
Yep, it is now 18:45 PST and the CC is still running on the HD TV. I guess if we replace the SD in the bedroom with a HD we'll have to have another service call to ATT.
Totally out-of-thread, my son lives in a Verizon service area -- his FIOS works very well and has a CC button on the remote to turn it on and off. Why didn't ATT complete the upgrade to total fiber all the way to the customer's home as Verizon is doing?
Edited for clarity
@SomeJoe7777 wrote:
I know he replaced it once, but since it's on one box and not the other it seems that the box is the problem.
I would call tech support and have them come replace the DVR again It's possible you simply have a bad one.
One more time you are correct.
The CC is running on the HDTV just peachy-keen using the Cisco.
But, the DVR worked for 2-3 hours on the SDTV and then had the "red X" on screen, tried a "disaster recovery" reboot and it froze in the middle of the download, and went to "red X" of death. Tried reboot again, worked, watched TV for about 20 minutes, picture froze, decided to go bed, turned off TV (cannot turn off DVR) and started recover again. When I woke up this morning turned on TV, "red X" is back.
Tech scheduled to be here 1200-1600 PST with another DVR.
Last chance before Time-Warner Cable (sucks) returns.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks for crossing your fingers, spd2demum, it worked.
Hard drive had failed completely in box replaced two weeks ago. I know, I know I should have listened to you folks but it is like pulling teeth to get ATT to send another tech to come out since one was here for two days and didn't solve the closed captioning problem (and I was P.O.'ed at the folks in Mumbai).
It appears the closed captioning problem was both of the former Motorola 1225 STB's. So far the DVR has not lost captioning on HD channels (at least when they are running on SDTV connected to box by standard video and audio cables).
We shall see. Stand by.
-TWC (sucks)
Thanks for the update PHOnos and glad your closed caption problems are fixed with the new DVR.

Well, the new DVR has lost the captions on HD channels just like before. It has got to be the last ATT TV2 software update, I guess. So I guess I leave it on the SDTV until the next update and see what happens then. As I said before, the wireless Cisco running a different revision of TV2 does not lose the captioning on the HD channels.
After Christmas and New Years are over, I'll call TWC(sucks).
FWIW - The tech who was here today said the new 2250 Motorola DVRs are not available to them in SoCal. According to him, the only way to get one is to somehow convince ATT you can install the system yourself and have them send you the hardware. Only sales -- not service has access.
Edit: Corrected 2250

(Reuters) - Chesapeake Energy Corp (CHK.N) appointed Chief Operating Officer Steven Dixon as interim chief executive officer on Friday and made him part of a three-person committee to search for a replacement for Aubrey McClendon.
McClendon is expected to step down on Monday.
In a statement Chesapeake, the second-largest producer of natural gas, said its board has established an Office of Chairman to steer the company after McClendon leaves. The three-man team will also include Chesapeake's non-executive Chairman Archie Dunham and Chief Financial Officer Domenic Dell'osso.
McClendon's departure was announced in late January, following a governance crisis and a liquidity crunch caused by heavy spending on oil and gas properties, and a collapse in the price of natural gas.
Chesapeake's board is considering both internal and external candidates for the job they had initially said would be filled by April 1.
Friday's announcement, however, indicates that the search for McClendon's successor is going to take longer than previously anticipated.
"Chesapeake continues to perform well and is successfully executing our strategy to increase liquids production, drive capital efficiencies across the business, and enhance financial flexibility to prudently fund growth," Dunham said in a statement.
Analysts have said several factors may have complicated the search: the oil producer faces financial and regulatory headwinds, it has a knotty financial structure that needs to be simplified, and there is a crowded field of public energy companies on the hunt for a CEO.
Chesapeake, which also drills new oil wells, has to fill a projected $4 billion gap between cash flow and spending this year and sell up to $7 billion in assets to help make up that shortfall in an environment where deal valuations have softened.
Chesapeake, based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, could not be immediately reached for additional comment.
McClendon, who co-founded Chesapeake in 1989, was one of the first oil and gas executives to recognize the vast potential of the country's shale basins. But he stepped down as chief executive after a tumultuous year in which a series of Reuters investigations triggered civil and criminal probes of the second-largest U.S. natural gas producer.
A company probe of the same matter found no intentional wrongdoing on McClendon's part.

Overall Experience
If it's not IHG, then it's second rate.
December 03, 2019
I have always stayed at IHG affiliated hotels and if there's not one when I stop to rest I will drive until I do find one. It's always been a pleasure to stay at a place that puts the guest first NO MATTER WHAT.

Rooms smelled horrible like mold they gave me something to spray to cover the smell and that worked for about 10 mins. I'm staying in another candlewood I told them about my experience at the la Porte location and all the could do was say sorry. They should shut this location down
Good hotel

We really like Candlewood and intend to continue staying there as long as the quality and value remain as good as it is now (acually even if it improves!)

SPRINGFIELD – A 32-year-old Illinois law that requires juveniles accused of the most serious crimes to be charged as adults may be discriminatory, prevents judges from exercising their judgment and makes it more likely that those who are convicted will commit violent crimes in the future, according to a study released Tuesday.
The nonpartisan Juvenile Justice Initiative reviewed 257 Cook County cases from 2010 to 2012 involving juveniles who were automatically charged as adults in accordance with the state law. One of those cases involved a non-minority defendant. Eighty-three percent of the defendants were black and 16 percent were Hispanic. Most came from Chicago's west and south sides, according to the study.
It also found that 54 percent of the defendants whose cases were automatically transferred to adult court ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that wouldn't have triggered such a transfer in the first place.
By leaving juvenile court, the authors concluded, the defendants lose their best chance at rehabilitation and often go to prison with adults; later, they have higher recidivism rates for violent crime.
The group used the study to draw attention to legislation in the General Assembly that would eliminate the automatic transferring of the most serious juvenile cases to adult court and give judges more decision-making authority based on a hearing that examines a child's circumstances, among them a child's age, education, mental and physical health and level of participation in the crime.
Illinois is among 14 states that have automatic transfer laws. Enacted in 1982, Illinois requires juveniles ages 15 to 17 years old who are charged with crimes such as murder, armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated battery with a firearm to be tried as adults. Once charged as an adult, a juvenile who is later charged with another crime must always appear in adult court, no matter the crime.
Juvenile Justice Initiative President Elizabeth Clarke said such cases often unfold in the same way: A juvenile is questioned by police without a lawyer, makes a statement and is charged as an adult. He or she then pleads guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a set sentence, meaning there is no trial or sentencing hearing.
"At no point do they really get a day in court," Clarke told the AP. "This is wholesale throwing kids away at the point of arrest, essentially."
Before the House Judiciary Committee backed the legislation last month, officials from the Cook County State's Attorney's office testified against it.
Rep. Dennis Reboletti, an Elmhurst Republican and former prosecutor, opposes eliminating automatic transfers because of the seriousness of the crime. Juveniles can only be incarcerated until age 21, so a murder would not be properly punished, he said.
"You're basically telling a 17-year-old that your sentence is four years ..." Reboletti said. "I don't think that's an appropriate sentence for that crime."
Reboletti said he'd be open to sending a juvenile in adult court who pleads guilty to a lesser charge back to juvenile court for sentencing and rehabilitation.
He also suggested Illinois could allow for a teenager sentenced to a long term for a violent crime to serve in the juvenile system until age 21 and then transfer to an adult prison to finish his sentence.
While the study only looked at juveniles who were incarcerated while awaiting trial and not released on bond, reinstating juvenile court hearings to determine the best place to try a teenager would not be burdensome, Nekritz said.
"It's putting a common sense process in to have a judge, rather than the General Assembly, make these decisions," said Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, the bill's sponsor. "The judge is looking at the circumstances of the individual, the circumstances of the crime."
The study's authors also noted that juveniles awaiting trial as adults spent a year or more in detention, whereas half of defendants charged in juvenile court spent a month or less locked up.
"Trial in adult court fails to protect public safety," study co-author David Reed said in a statement. "Children tried as adults typically spend more time waiting for trial, more time in prison and are less likely to receive rehabilitative services."

Welcome Vote On Energy Efficiency
12 July 2012
STEP CLOSER TO ENERGY TARGETSThe committee has endorsed a deal which includes a number of crucial measures that will deliver concrete energy savings in a bid to meet the EU's energy goals for 2020.
Alyn Smith, SNP MEP and sole Scots member of the European Parliament's Energy Committee, has welcomed a vote on energy efficiency legislation.
Alyn Smith, SNP MEP and sole Scots member of the European Parliament's Energy Committee, has welcomed a vote on energy efficiency legislation.
Alyn said:
"It's easy to set targets, but we must ensure that we actually meet them, and so I was pleased to see this deal which brings us a step closer to enacting essential legislation. Not only will this give a boost to Europe's economy and help achieve our energy security but it contributes towards our climate goals.
"The new Energy Efficiency Directive enshrines the EU's 20 per cent energy savings target in a legal framework to meet our targets for 2020. However, its clear more action is needed if we are to close this gap. Member States will be responsible for setting out a roadmap for achieving energy savings, and energy companies will be tasked with delivering annual savings across all end-use sectors.
"While this boost in the legislation represents a major step forward for EU climate policy, more could be done. We need to address the problems with the emissions trading scheme. The carbon market is clearly in need of regulative intervention in order to address the oversupply of emissions permits and the resulting excessively low carbon price. I hope the Commission comes forward with proposals to limit the upcoming emissions permits. The sooner this is achieved, the better."

Sao Paulo GRAND SLAM | 8 - 13 October 2013
São Paulo, Brazil, October 10, 2013 – Two teams from Germany along with one each from Brazil, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Russia and the United States won their pools Thursday as the field has been reduced to 24 from the 32-team men's main draw for the Friday's start of single-elimination rounds at the $440,000 FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam double-gender tournament. With the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour back in Brazil for the 27th consecutive year, the eight pool winners will receive a bye into Friday afternoon's round of 24.
Each receiving a bye into the round of 16, the eight men's pool winners who emerged from Thursday's two match victories were: Germany's 16th-seeded Sebastian Dollinger/Lars Fluggen, Brazil's second-seeded Pedro Salgado/Bruno Schmidt, Latvia's third-seeded Aleksandrs Samoilovs/Janis Smedins, USA's fourth-seeded Jake Gibb/Casey Patterson, Russia's 12th-seeded Konstantin Semenov/Yaroslav Koshkarev, Italy's 27th-seeded Alex Ranghieri/Andrea Tomatis, Brazil's seventh-seeded Alison Cerutti/Emanuel Rego and Germany's ninth-seeded Jonathan Erdmann/Kay Matysik.
The 24 teams in each gender who advanced from pool play from the 32-team main draws in each gender will now move into Friday's start of single elimination play. For the women on Thursday, all eight pool winners were undefeated at 3-0 as the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour resumed in South America this week. Friday will see the round of 24, round of 16 and quarterfinal matches in each gender as the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour has resumed in South America after a six-week respite. With the event being held for the first time in São Paulo the purpose-built site is located on the expansive grounds of Parque Villa Lobos on the west side of the massive city.
With intense competition resulting in 15 three-set matches out of the 48 pool play matches, five teams won their respective pools with unblemished 3-0 records: Germany's Dollinger/Fluggen, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt, Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedins, USA's Gibb/Patterson and Russia's Semenov/Koshkarev.
Following Thursday's conclusion of pool play, Friday will see the round of 24, round of 16 and quarterfinal matches in each gender as the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour has resumed in South America after a six-week respite. With the event being held for the first time in São Paulo the purpose-built site is located on the expansive grounds of Parque Villa Lobos on the west side of the massive city.
Brazil had one team in each gender advance from Tuesday's qualifiers and the home country had its full allotment of five teams in each gender in the São Paulo main draw pool play. For the men, the qualification team that advanced to the main draw was Brazil's 28th-seeded Thiago Santos/Oscar Brandao. Overall, the Brazilian men's teams ended pool play with a 9-6 record. Besides the pool-winning Salgado/Schmidt (3-0), also advancing to the elimination rounds for Brazil are top-seeded Ricardo Santos/Alvaro Filho (2-1), seventh-seeded Alison/Emanuel (2-1) and Santos/Brandao (1-2). The only Brazilian men's team not advancing was eighth-seeded Vitor Felipe/Evandro Goncalves (1-2).
Keeping pace in the hunt for the 2013 FIVB World Tour/FIVB Open point title and the top spot in the FIVB World Rankings, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt and Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedins were both 3-0 in pool play and 6-1 in their set record in their first three matches in the tournament.
Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt's two win's Thursday were over USA's 18th-seeded Phil Dalhausser/Casey Jennings, 21-12, 19-21, 15-12 in 58 minutes and over Austria's 15th-seeded Lorenz Petutschnig/Alexander Horst, 21-15, 21-16 in 35 minutes.
Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedin matched the Brazilians by defeating Poland's 19th-seeded Piotr Kantor/Bartosz Losiak, 21-18, 21-13 in 33 minutes and were pushed to three sets before beating Kazakhstan's 14th-seeded Alexey Sidorenko/Alexandr Dyachenko, 16-21, 21-16, 15-10 in 52 minutes.
Currently leading the FIVB World Rankings over Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt, Latvia's Smedins said Thursday between matches, "For us it will be very hard, because the Brazilians have played their National Tour and now they are playing at home and the World Tour has been on a break. I think they will play at 150% because of the fans. For us, it will be really tough. We're looking for the first place and we'll give our best. It depends how we'll play. If we play as we did during all the season, it is possible. We've not been playing for six weeks."
The United States had three men's team advance to the elimination rounds. In addition to Gibb/Patterson, also advancing for Team USA are 20th-seeded Nick Lucena/Ryan Doherty (2-1) and Dalhausser/Jennings (2-1). Both teams are new as both Doherty and Dalhausser had their regular teammates for this season withdraw from the tournament.
This year's FIVB World Tour Grand Slams use a pool format. São Paulo began with a one-day qualification tournament on Tuesday to determine the final eight spots in each gender's 32-team main draw tournaments followed by round-robin pool play where pools of four played three matches each over two days with a single-elimination bracket for the final 24 teams (the top three from each pool) concluding semifinals and bronze medal matches on Saturday and the gold medal matches for both genders on Sunday. The gold medal teams in each gender in the FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam will each split $33,000, the silver $22,000, the bronze $16,500 and fourth place $12,900.
The FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam marks the 35th time that Brazil has hosted a men's and 30th time Brazil has hosted a women's FIVB international beach volleyball world tour event. Brazil has staged a FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event every year since the start of the international circuit for men in 1987 and women in 1992. It is also the 295th FIVB World Tour men's tournament and 257th women's tournament.
The 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour is comprised of 10 Grand Slam events and the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships. Not part of the World Tour but counting towards FIVB points/earnings are five Open events (four double-gender tournaments and one women-only). The last of 10 FIVB World Tour Grand Slams will be the 2013 Grand Slam schedule will now end in China Oct. 22-27 at the double-gender $440,000 FIVB Xiamen Grand Slam.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (1-1) started the 2014 stanza with a split against the University of West Alabama (1-1), winning the first, 1-0 and losing the second 3-2.
Senior Whitney Horton's (Acworth, Ga.) fifth inning home run and sophomore Marisa Boyette's (Marietta, Ga.) shutout and eight strikeouts would be all the Bobcats would need in the opening game. The pitching duel with the Tigers' Jessica Brock produced four hits for each team with senior Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) topping all Bobcat hitters with a pair.
The second game was tied until the Tigers got the go-ahead run in the fifth inning. The Bobcats got both their runs in the first. Sophomores Kristen Brooks (Brunswick, Ga.) and Abi LeRoy (Dublin, Ga.) scored and Georgia College could not muster any more runs the rest of the way. West Alabama tied the game in the third before taking the lead in the fifth. Okvist again led the way with three hits, and freshman pitcher Carly Lewis (Seymour, Tenn.) went the distance and took the loss while allowing six hits.
The Bobcats look to start a win streak tomorrow, hosting Queens University at 2:30 p.m. The earlier doubleheader starts at 10 a.m. with Georgia Southwestern University taking on West Alabama at the Peeler Complex.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

PORTSMOUTH — Seacoast Repertory Theatre and PAPA Youth Mainstage presents it's all youth production of RENT: School Edition.
After the smashing success of PAPA's 2012 youth season, it was the decision of Miles Burns and Grady O'Neil to bring back the youth Mainstage shows to Seacoast Rep. The obvious choice for the youth directors, was RENT: School Edition (a teen friendly version of the smash Broadway musical) as it speaks to so many of the young actors involved in the program.
RENT is a story of a group of artists and rebels some of who are living with AIDS in the early 1990s. Rent is a brutally honest and gorgeous story that set the bar for modern Rock musicals. Loosely based on Puccini's opera "La Boheme", RENT defined a youthful generation of Theatre with its rock score and heart pounding story of love, loss and the fight to stay alive.
