The Lawn as a Living Resource
Annual Events, and Some Special Ones, Transform the Lawn
As Thomas Jefferson conceived it, the college experience should take place within an "academical village" where shared learning infused daily life. He designed the University's Lawn to be shared space, and today it remains a thriving center of activity for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors from around the world. In just the last few months, the Lawn has been used for meditation, trick-or-treating, and holiday celebrations.
UVA's Annual 'Lighting of the Lawn' Held on Dec. 5
On Thursday, Dec. 5, UVA and the Fourth-Year Trustees hosted the 13th annual Lighting of the Lawn to celebrate the holiday season as a University community while embracing the season of giving by supporting the Wounded Warrior Project. The annual tradition began in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when the Fourth-Year Trustees sought to "bring together the community to heal and reflect." More than a decade later, the tradition still shines brightly. (more)
UVA Annual 'Trick-or-Treating on the Lawn'
UVA's Halloween tradition, initiated in the late 1980s by students, was held on Thursday, Oct. 31st, and was open to all local community members. Children were invited to wear their costumes and take part in trick-or-treating at each of the 54 Lawn rooms. (more)
Hundreds Gather for a Deepak Chopra-Led Meditation on UVA's Lawn
A hush fell on the Lawn on Tuesday, Oct. 15th as hundreds gathered for a meditation session led by spiritual leader Deepak Chopra. Prize-winning journalist Arianna Huffington gave opening remarks. Henry Monroe, Heather Hummel, Vivan Pham, and Megan McDaniels were among the many who came to the UVA Lawn to participate in a public meditation session. (more)

Recent vandalism in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, has taken two of the community's school buses off the road.
The Pulaarvik Kablu Friendship Centre runs the bus services for students in Rankin Inlet. George Dunkerly, the centre's executive director, says both buses have been vandalized in recent weeks.
"One bus had two fire extinguishers emptied in the back of it and the other one had some seat covers were torn up," he said.
The vandals also reached up inside the dash and yanked the wire and harness out of one bus.
Dunkerly estimates it'll cost more than $1,000 to fix the buses. The centre doesn't have extra money in its budget, so that may mean less money for its programs, he said.
The centre also had another vehicle stolen this month.
RCMP Sgt. Kim Melenchuk says there have been 15 vehicle thefts reported recently in the community.
"We've been fortunate enough to gather enough evidence to charge some youth and some adults," he said.
He encourages people with information about thefts and vandalism to contact the RCMP.
Dunkerly says there no suspects yet in the bus vandalism. He says the buses should be running again on Monday.

Just a refresher. Arve's security proposal. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arve Bersvendsen <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Thu, May 1, 2008 at 1:33 AM Subject: Initial input for discussion of Widget security model To: firstname.lastname@example.com Attached is a document providing some initial input on a security model for a widget, that should provide a rough draft for providing the/a widget security model. Note that the document is not to be treated as input for specification text, and it needs substantial work and review before any such thing can take place. My hope is that we can take this document up for discussion at the F2F in Dublin. --- Widget security Introduction This document defines a security model for widgets, specifying which resources the widget is allowed and denied access to, and how the widget can signal which resources it intends to access. It is assumed that widgets are not web pages and that in order to be useful they need a security model that is different from that of web pages. Conceptually speaking a widget is "loaded" onto a computer before it is "run", and so its home domain is the computer on which it is running. In addition, many useful widgets accomplish their task by synthesizing information from various sources on the web. Thus the widget needs greater rights than normal web pages in order to access network resources. Yet the security concerns of unrestricted access cannot be ignored: The main concern is that a widget that accesses pages on an intranet can steal information, but there is also a general concern about leaking information about the widget user from one web site to another. This document specifies what widgets are normally allowed to do, how they can be granted greater privileges, and how their privileges can be curtailed. Actions are controlled by reasonable defaults, with overrides from the user or system administrator, and checked against the behavior the widget declares itself to have. A widget's config.xml file may contain a "security specification": a declaration of the protocols, hosts, ports, and pages that the widget will normally attempt to access. It may also contain declarations of other things that the widget will do. The security specification is represented as the "security" element in the config.xml file. Additional local settings for widgets are specific to the system. This specification does not concern itself directly with signing, but an implementation of signatures may use different policy documents based on the identity provided by a signature, thus granting different privileges based on said signature. Widget lifecycle and identity Latent widgets are identified by URLs that reference zip files on hosts on the Internet. (They can also be identified by a path in the file system to a config.xml file.) A widget is loaded into the user agent by loading the URL of the zip or config.xml file. Once the zip file is loaded, a running widget instance will normally be created in a vendor-specific manner. The widget runner may be suspended, and running widget instances are suspended with it. Only when the user explicitly kills the instance are it's data deleted. The widget instance is unique in the universe. There is no notion at all of two widget instances being "the same". No information in the config.xml file or in the URL from which the zip file is loaded has any bearing on widget identity. Widget updates Note that while upgrades is not directly covered in this specification, any future upgrade mechanism should display a warning/confirmation prior to upgrading. If the security settings of the widget will change during such an upgrade process, and in such a way that the network privileges change, or the widget asks for additional APIs to be enabled, such a warning should be displayed, with an option to inspect the new security settings. Browser/Widget runner state Separate widget instances share no information at all. Specifically: * A cookie set by a widget instance, or by a URL loaded by a widget (eg through XmlHttpRequest) is visible only to that widget instance, never to any other instances or to documents loaded into the browser in any other way. * If a URL loaded by a widget requires HTTP authentication then authentication must be performed on behalf of that widget instance; the authentication is not shared with other widget instances or with URLs loaded into the browser in any other way. * A set of settings for a widget instance is shared with no other widget instances. * Other persistent storage mechanisms, such as those defined in HTML must not share data with other widget instances, or with the storage context in the web browser. * When a widget is running as part of a web browser, cache files, indexes, or other data must not be shared with the web browser Network access model Scope The access rights model determines whether a widget should be allowed to access any particular URL, where "access" means the following: * Access through opening a URL in an external resource, such as a web browser, by means of a link with an appropriate target, a call to widget.openURL or similar mechanisms where the widget is opened in a viewer outside the control of the widget runner. * Access through loading an embedded document or object inside the widget, such as an image, iframe, object, svg:foreignObject and similar. * Access to external windows happening under control resources happening from a child window of the widget. The rules for accessing the network are determined based on the following components: * The widget's declaration of network intent. * The widget runner's declaration of global allowable network policy, either through fixed configuration or through profile configuration. This policy declaration may be either fixed, or vary based on widget origin or identity. Network classes This specification describes two classes of networks, a default "private" network, and a public network. A private network, or local network is by default defined as the user's local machine, including any IP address that resolves to the local machine. Further, the IP ranges as defined by [RFC 1918], are considered to be private. These addresses are primarily being used in systems set up behind a NAT translation device, and provides machines with unique addresses where there is only one public IP address for several machines. These addresses are: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) In addition, when a user is within an ad-hoc network, networking equipment (including software components in operating systems), typically use the IPv4 Link-Local addresses as defined by [RFC 3927], which is also considered to be part of the local network. 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255 (169.254/16 prefix) A widget runner should provide a default configuration wherein the four network ranges described above are defined to fall within the private IP range. As stated above, this policy may be editable, may be possible to add or remove items to the list of private networks and hosts. Widget network access configuration through config.xml When a widget wants to request access to resources, it does so by adding a security fragment to the config.xml element, as specified below: element security optional element access multiple element "protocol" multiple cdata element "host" multiple cdata element "port" multiple cdata element "path" multiple cdata element "content" attribute "plugin" value = "yes|no" Configuration document elements The access element The access element is used to specify the access permissions of the widget. The element. If the contents of the access element is empty, then a widget would not be granted access. With the exception of the 'protocol' element, the absence of an element means the same as "match all", granting access to all resources not limiting access. The host element The host element is a syntactical construct used to determine which hosts a widget can contact. The element is defined as such element host attribute type optional value="localhost|string|range" cdata The type attribute determines which kind of matching is done for the host element: localhost When the value of the type attribute is specified as 'localhost', this refers to accessing the user's local machine, regardless of which method of access is chosen -- hostname, or one of the IP addresses that resolves to the user's local machine. In the case that localhost is specified, the cdata in the element is disregarded for comparison purposes string In the case the value of the type attribute is 'string', the cdata within the element is regarded as a string match for the hostname, including an optional leading wildcard. range When the value of the type attribute is 'range', the contents inside the element is expected to be an IP address, or a range of IP addresses separated by a single '-'. If the 'type' attribute is omitted from any declaration, it is assumed to be present, with the value 'string' * When a 'host' element is missing from an access element, regardless of in which file this element occurs, the element is assumed to be present, as a single wildcard value: <host>*</host> * When present, the default wildcard element is replaced with the exact value of any matching host elements. The 'protocol' element The protocol element is used to determine which protocols a widget should have access to. When missing from config.xml, the element is assumed to be present three times, with the values 'widget', 'http' and 'https'. When missing from any other context, the element gets no value, and for instance if missing from 'access', a widget would not be allowed to get network access. The 'port' element The port element is used to define which port numbers a widget should have access to when initiating network traffic. The port element accepts as its value a single port number, port numbers separated by a comma, or a range of ports separated using '-'. When missing from an 'access' element, the port element is assumed to be present, matching all ports, and when a widget requests access to a resource using http, it can do so on every port. It should however be noted that there are certain port numbers for which the User Agent may have disabled access for security reasons, and a configuration override cannot change these. When a different port number is specified for a protocol in an access element, the port numbers specified are the only by which a widget can communicate. The 'path' element The path element is used to restrict widget access to particular paths within the rule sets. When missing from anywhere within widget configuration, or policy file, the element is assumed to be present, allowing access to any path, thus implicitly bearing the value "/". The path is treated as a wildcard path, allowing access to any matching subpath of the element. In the following access fragment, placed within config.xml, access to any resource contained within the "/cats" subpath is allowed: <path>/cats</path> thus, the widget can access all of /cats/siamese.html /cats/ /catsoup In the case that the author of the config.xml fragment meant to limit access to '/cats/', the specification of the path would have to include the forward slash: <path>/cats/</path> Enabling network access A widget must declare its intention with regard to API and network access through the config.xml file, using the syntax described in the below config.xml fragment: element widget attribute "network" optional value = "public|&private" To acquire access to the network, the widget must thus declare this by adding the network attribute to the widget element in the widget's config.xml file. The value accepted for this attribute is a list of DOMStrings that can specify which network class it intends to access. The values are case sensitive. Valid values are: It is assumed that a security mechanism exists in the widget user agent to enforce a policy where a separation between the two network classes exist, and optionally lock access to either of the resources after first access has taken place, so that a widget that has for instance accessed the public network can no longer access the private network. private Governs any network the user has classified as a private network in configuration. This might be predefined as for instance being the four private IP ranges as defined by RFC 1918 and RFC 3927 public Governs any network NOT classified as private. When a widget starts, The user agent reads this configuration, and compares it to the User Agent's internal configuration. URL Access rights Scope The term 'URL access' specifies any access to a networked resource a widget may attempt. This includes: * The widget directly requesting a resource through inclusion (such as iframes, objects and other elements) * The widget including images, stylesheets, and scripts. Including indirectly, when a stylesheet or (SVG) image requests additional resources to be loaded. * The widget attempting to open a resource in an external application (in effect, using links or widget.openURL) * Resources contacted by API access: DOM3 Load/Save, XMLHttpRequest and similar * The destination of form elements * When the UA includes resources in iframes and similar, any access made by documents contained in these included documents. Failure modes If a widget, by configuration, excplicitly requires access to a resource forbidden by other configuration, installation of the widget should fail. If a widget attempts to contact a resource that is in conflict with the widget's own stated security policy, or the widget attempts to contact a resource which it has been restricted from accessing (such as accessing a private network resource when it has only requested access to public network resources), it should fail in one of two ways: 1. If the access happens through direct access, such as opening URLs using link constructs, form submissions, or similar methods, the action should fail silently. 2. If the access happens through API access, such as XMLHttpRequest, the action should generally fail with a security violation error in the same manner a web page that tries to do cross-domain requests would. Processing model for allowing network access The algorithm for allowing access to the private network is as such: 1. If the widget has added 'private' to the network attribute, continue. Otherwise, deny access. 2. If a system fixed configuration allows access, continue. Otherwise, deny access. 3. If a profile configuration on the device allows access, continue. Otherwise, deny access. 4. If a per-widget override configuration allows access, continue. Otherwise, deny access. The same algorithm is also applied separately to the public network. When the widget requests access to both types of network, apply the following algorithm 1. If the widget requires access to both network classes, continue. 2. If a system fixed configuration allows simultaneous access to both network classes, continue. Otherwise deny access. 3. If a profile configuration directive allows simultaneous access to both network classes, continue. Otherwise, deny access. 4. If a per-widget override configuration allows access, continue. Otherwise, deny access. In the case that any step in the above processes has resulted in "Deny access", deny access. Otherwise allow access. URL-based access check When a widget attempts to contact a resource, and this resource has been allowed by the network class above, the URL that is attempted accessed is compared to a whitelist and/or a blacklist on the system, that contains a componentized list of URLs.: 1. Take the request URL string, componentize it. 2. Compare the components of the request URL to that of the widget config.xml's access element. 3. Assume that the browser also has a black and whitelist which the url can match. If the URL matches the whitelist, allow it. If the URL matches the blacklist, deny it. A leap of faith is required to understand how this works, but the general idea is that domains have to match, while separate subdomains want. Assume that the black/whitelists support wildcards. Assume that the same lists supports both IP ranges and port ranges. Form and Links Behaviour * A form element should have a valid target. * If the form has a reserved target, and this target leads to intrisically replacing the topmost document in the widget, in effect replacing the widget, submitting the form should fail silently. * If the form uses the '_blank' target for a GET request, the form should be submitted to an external application. * POST requests that result in submission to an external viewer SHOULD fail. * The URL provided by the form's action attribute MUST be permitted by the computed security policy for the widget. * Links must have default "_blank" target, and open in an external viewer. The URL referenced MUST be permitted by the computed security policy for the widget. Embedded Objects Security * Objects must adhere to widget security policy. * Objects must not cross network boundaries when loaded. * Objects may share cookies and cache with widgets. * Objects must not share cookies and cache with browser. * Objects must not be aware of widget's existence. * There should be no reference to window.opener (the widget shouldnt be visible to the object) * window.top should point to the embedding frame only. * Widgets may have a one-way reference to inject scripts, read DOM, etc. The reference must be strictly one way and initiated from the widget only. -- Arve Bersvendsen Developer, Opera Software ASA, http://www.opera.com/ -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au

In this paper, we extend and analyse spatial smoothing with uniform circular arrays (UCA's). In particular, we study the performance of the Root-MUSIC with smoothing in the presence of correlated sources, finite data perturbations and errors in transformed steering vector that arise due to some approximations made to enable the extension of the Root-MUSIC and smoothing to UCA. Expressions are derived for the asymptotic performance of the Root-MUSIC with smoothing applied to the transformed UCA data. An attempt has been made to bring out the impact of both forward and forward-backward smoothing. Computer simulations are provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the analysis.

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri admits they will have to find a replacement should Edinson Cavani be sold.
Cavani could be sold this summer to bring in Edin Dzeko from Manchester City or Pablo Daniel Osvaldo from Roma.
Mazzarri said: "They are players of the highest level, but I will just say the pitch tells us that. It doesn't require a scientist to know they are talented."

I really enjoy how everything in the website is all HTML. Perhaps a little Flash designs would make it better. By the way, i was wondering if you would know any HTML or Webdesign sites that have free tutorials for intermediate to advanced users. I know there are many but i havent really found a site that explained everything from HTML all the way to ASP and XML and such. If you culd help it would be great.Received on Friday, 6 September 2002 00:05:04 UTC

your plants have reached 20" inches or so and look
strong and green (well nourished), it is then time to change your lights to 12
hours ON
and 12 hours OFF. This makes your plant think that Fall has come, and
that it is
time to begin flowering (budding).
This is a separate room in my garden. You do
not want ANY light when it is in it's OFF cycle (none).
Schedule your gardening time for when the lights are ON.
You can garden in the night cycle, but you need to get
green light bulbs - it's enough for you to see, but does
not harm the plants at all.
may notice, I DO cut off some large fan leaves as the
plant grows
(just a few), which allows more light to get
to the lower buds
on the plant. Depends on your light set-up.
Remember what time your "dawn" was? This is where I
want you to keep that the same. In other words, if
you were running 18 hours ON and your dawn was at 4:00
a.m., then we still want your dawn at 4:00 a.m. So
set your timers to 12 ON and 12 OFF starting at 4:00
a.m. (my time example).
This adds no additional stress to your plants, and
has their "sun" coming up at the same time as in the
vegetative stage. Anything that does NOT promote
stress is very good.
Sexing a Marijuana Plant: Unless
you are planning on breeding (not cloning, but
breeding), then you will be destroying your MALE plants
as soon as you can define their sex. Here is an
excellent photo of the female marijuana plant. You
will distinctly see two pistils at the branch "joints",
you will generally see this difference within 10 days
after moving into this flowering stage light period. We
want female marijuana plants (sensimilla) only - High in
THC, low (to no) seeds.
Lights: We have
changed our lights to 12 hours ON and 12 hours OFF. This
now makes the plant think "Fall" has come, and moves it
into this final flowering stage of growth. Keep high intensity
lamps about 2 feet from the plants... fluorescents can
actually be touching the plants. Put a thermostat by
your budding tops to see if they are too hot - that
would mean the lights are too close.
Temperature & Humidity:
We still attempt to maintain 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit
when the lights are on. Too HOT is NOT good in
this phase.
Watering: Same
applies, water when plants are dry (reference
germinating for more watering frequency
information). Crusty top dirt dry.
Air Circulation:
Keep the air circulating with fresh air. Do not 'blow'
the fans directly on the plants for extended periods...
blow the air 'around' the cannabis plants. They require
the fresh air exchange.
Stop with Nitrogen
nutrients at this time. The plants
need more Phosphorous and other nutrients during this
stage. PH level affects all the stages of marijuana
growth - on a scale of 1-14 - seven (7) is neutral. The
ideal PH range for cannabis is 6.5 - extremes above or
below this level will slow growth and be a give-away
that something is not right.
You want Phosphorous, Potassium, Magnesium and some
Sulfur (there are other micro-nutrients usually found in
good blooming feeds).
Once a plant 'shows' slow growth
or visible symptoms of any kind, it has already
experienced nutritional stress. Allow some time (once
diagnosed & corrected) for the plant to recuperate to a
vigorous growth stage. This is an entire science
and I do not have enough space here to cover it all -
but I want you to know the important stuff.
Length of Flowering Stage:
This will vary for every type of marijuana plant.
Generally, the seeds come with an indication of the
flowering stage length. However, that is not
necessary in knowing the best time to
harvest your
cannabis plants. You should have (or buy) a small
30X magnifier (my recommendation) - or, you can also
view the buds with an 8X magnifier, but you DO want a
good magnifier to help you distinguish the absolute best
time to harvest your marijuana plants.
You have noticed the "snow" like effect all around
your buds - these are the trichomes that actually
contain the THC we are seeking. When magnified,
these tell you exactly when she is ready for harvest.
Which brings us to
harvesting your marijuana.

A new contract between the Martha's Vineyard Hospital and the Veterans Administration to allow on-Island health care for veterans is under final review, the Chilmark selectmen learned on Tuesday night.
Vineyard veterans have had no access to primary care on the Vineyard since a previous contract expired several years ago.
In a letter sent to the Chilmark selectmen on August 15 Vincent Ng, the director of the Providence Medical Center where many Island veterans have had to travel for care, reported the good news.
We ordinarily associate fire with devastation, a barely controllable force that overtakes everything in its path. The metaphor is used throughout Matthew Heineman and Susan Froemke's Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, which screened before a sold-out crowd of over 300 people Wednesday night at the Chilmark Community Center. The showing was followed by two lengthy discussion sessions nearly the duration of the film itself (the documentary is 95 minutes long).
Just like the rest of America, health care on Martha's Vineyard is in trouble — too often fragmented, unsafe, variable, hard to access and far too costly. Poor system designs are the cause, designs sustained by a fee-for-service payment system that pays for volume (how much you do), not value (how well the patient does). Doctors, nurses, other clinicians, staff, and managers do their very best to help, but they are often fighting upstream against systems that make their work harder.
Citizen Health Care Role Called Critical
By ALEXIS TONTI
If the Island wants better health care, its citizens must demand it.
This simple but straightforward directive was one of the chief
messages of the second annual public symposium, Changing Our Health
Care: Options for the Vineyard, held Sunday night at the Performing Arts
Becoming a patient in a primary care physician's practice is
now almost impossible for Islanders and visitors, but medical personnel
are making an effort to alleviate the situation.
Primary physician practices, in the strictest sense, are closed to
new patients, leaving those in search of a doctor in limbo.
Tim Walsh, who became the Martha's Vineyard Hospital's
chief executive officer in August, said the lack of primary care
physicians is a problem.
The Vineyard Nursing Association has announced a plan to expand its services to include hospice care, directly competing with Hospice of Martha's Vineyard, a 28-year-old Island institution which operates solely on donations, unfettered by the constraints of insurance regulations.
Vineyard Nursing Association has applied to become a licensed hospice provider certified under Medicare.
After more than two years without primary care on the Island, a group of Vineyard veterans blasted the Veterans Administration and Partners Healthcare yesterday for failing to restore medical services that had been available on the Island for years. The veterans met with a team of national representatives from the American Legion in the hope that they will bring their message back to Capitol Hill.

"A one in a million chance, you know the moment that you crossed over the line, a casual glance, no one has to read between the lines, in the south of France it was Spring time, special feelings come alive!" OK, so it's actually London in the Fall, but whatevs. I'm sitting down to what is about to be one of the most incredible dining experiences ever. Close your eyes and follow me, I'll show you a world you've never been to because I know what you're thinking. You're thinking the food in London sucks. Work with me here, because you're so wrong. Take a ride in my dining machine, what I got is what you need. Let me take you there. Let me take you there tonight… After a long day of being chased by paparazzi, I just want to relax and have a sexy dinner to refuel for the evening antics of the city. A place not laden with obvious tourists and flashing cameras is an added plus. With its killer location overlooking the Tower Bridge, I pop into the posh Le Pont de La Tour in the Butlers Wharf Building, which offers Modern European cuisine with French and Mediterranean influences.
From the moment I entered I knew this was going to be a celebration of delight. A dining affair was about to be unleashed and to the previous restaurants that I have been so faithful too, I bid farewell, as I've found somewhere new. I said farewell! The host took my dinner jacket to the jacket-sitter so I could sit in comfort in the elegant dining room. Sophistication was in the air and I was finally in my element. The waiter and sommalier then greeted us with enthusiasm and charm. They were simply infectious. I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the forthcoming meal. We began our adventure with a Native Lobster Bisque. Its luscious taste exceeded all expectations.
Followed by a Duck and Pistachio Ravioli that was sinfully delightful. A simple display won my affection but the flavor kept me on for round two. We had Seared Sea Scallops enhanced with pumpkin, sage, and pine nut butter sauce. To die for! As I'm writing this article, I am longing for more. But wait, there was more! A roast English rose veal chop with leaf spinach and a choron sauce. Tender love you're so succulent and juicy! For dessert we had Guanaja cake, ginger mousse, and a Jivara Milkshake all Assiette of Valrhona Chocolate. Each course was properly served with a complementing wine, which I left up to the discretion of our Sommelier. His intense wine education shined through with each selection. He awakened my senses! No wonder Nicolas Clerc is an award winning expert (UK Sommelier of the year 2007)! Bravo! The wine list at Le Pont de la Tour is considered to be among the best in London so you're sure to be pleased. And relax, your sommelier will comfort you if you begin to feel overwhelmed with the many choices. Before closing out we enjoyed a cappuccino and the breath-taking view of the Tower Bridge and Thames River.

Woman charged in slaying of witness in robbery case
Published 12:00 am, Tuesday, July 6, 2010
A 24-year-old Houston woman has been charged with capital murder, accused of plotting the execution of a man whose body was discovered a few days before he was scheduled to testify that the woman's brother had robbed him.
Sonya Amador was arrested and charged Sunday night. She is being held without bail in the Harris County Jail.
Sonya Amador was charged in connection with the murder of 22-year-old Milton Flores, who was fatally shot, his body found in a Honda Civic in late June.
Investigators allege Sonya Amador arranged the killing to prevent Flores from testifying against her 21-year-old brother, Felix Amador, who was charged with aggravated robbery June 18.
The mother of Felix Amador's child told investigators that Sonya Amador discussed details of the crime in advance, saying she had a stolen Mercedes sports utility vehicle and a weapon and planned to enlist the help of someone named "Eric," court records show.
Sonya Amador is due in court today.
Her criminal background in Harris County includes convictions and jail sentences for unlawfully carrying a weapon, drug possession and theft.
In the aggravated robbery case involving her brother, the victim, Flores, identified Felix Amador as the man who attempted to rob him June 6, court records show. The victim told authorities Felix Amador pulled up alongside his vehicle in the parking lot at his place of employment in the 10800 block of Tanner, rolled down his window, pointed a shotgun at him and ordered him to surrender his vehicle under threat of being shot.
The incident was interrupted when two of the victim's co-workers arrived at the scene, the records show.
Felix Amador was charged in the case June 18, his 21st birthday. Flores' body was found June 30 in the driver's seat of the car after witnesses in the 13500 block of Weiman reported gunfire about 5:15 p.m. Wednesday and saw a black sport utility vehicle speeding from the area, authorities said.
According to court documents and public records, that aggravated robbery charge against Felix Amador was dismissed July 2, and he is not in jail presently.
Felix Amador's criminal record in Harris County includes convictions and jail sentences for car burglaries and failing to provide identification to police.

NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard says a crew member from an oil platform that sank off Louisiana reported an initial explosion three hours before the rig went up in flames in a second, larger explosion.
Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike O'Berry says the first blast was reported at 7 p.m. CDT Tuesday.
Later, the rig sent an emergency signal. O'Berry says a nearby rig at the same time reported the Deepwater Horizon was in flames.
He says the rig didn't ask for help during the initial call. The Coast Guard sent help after the emergency signal came.

For The Boy Neurosonic
This is probably not right but since I've heard this song more than 100 times, I'm it sounds like what Neurosonic was playing. It's just two chrods played throughout the song. Play the G chord. | And which ever this chord is called. (Sorry I if | | knew I would update it!) e|------3------------|-----1---------------------| B|-------------------|-----1---------------------| G|-------------------|-----2---------------------| D|-------------------|-----3---------------------| A|------2------------|-----3---------------------| E|------3------------|-----1---------------------| And again, it goes like that throughout the whole song from which I listened to. Great Listen to it so you can somewhat know how to strum your guitar. That's it.

At least one of the mysterious new Heroes roles revealed last week has been filled. Dania Ramirez, who has a recurring role on HBO's mob-tastic The Sopranos, will join Claire Bennett, Hiro Nakamura, and the rest of the superfriends next season as a regular, says Reuters.
Ramirez plays A.J. Soprano's ex-fiancée Blanca on the HBO show, which finishes its six-season run in a few weeks. Honing some superpowers should be old hat for Ramirez, who was Callisto in X-Men: The Last Stand.
Heroes still has yet to announce who will be playing the remaining characters--an Irish mobster, a surrogate for Niki/Jessica's son, a late-20s African-American mother, and a boyfriend for cheerleader Claire.

I'm a 'Southern Girl, born in East Tennessee and then migrated to Dallas, where I was part of a global corporation for the majority of my career. Recently, I've migrated to the consulting world, where I can use my years of communications experience to help other organizations. When I 'get away,' I've always preferred the Beaches of South Walton in the Panhandle. The stress just melts away. As you will see, I've created a relaxing experience inside my condo with the hope that your cares will evaporate during your time 'at the beach' also.
Julie Fulton purchased this studio in 2004
In traveling the world, I can find no more gorgeous beaches than on the unique 17-mile stretch of Scenic 30A in the Panhandle's South Walton County. So, when I had a choice of where to spend beach time with friends and family, Seacrest Beach along Scenic 30A was the easy choice. This unique area of the U.S. can best be described as 'Laid-back, upscale Florida living meets 'Andy of Mayberry.''
Because I love the area so much....and want others to also....you will find that I will be very helpful and personally 'hands on' to answer questions, provide information and ensure your experience in the South Walton County beach area is as perfect as possible.
Convenient and secure WIFI in the condo + LOADS of books stashed in all corners. Extra-comfy, high-quality bed. Upscale, but fun and whimsical beach decor specially selected to ensure a relaxing experience for guests. The beach and pools are only a short walk away... PLUS, there is a Free tram exclusively for this property for riding to the beach...runs every 20 minutes in season...especially helpful for guests carrying lots of beach stuff.
The Right Size
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for opening up your place for us to enjoy. It was the perfect size for us. Thank you again!
This is our second time to stay at this condo and we loved it even more the second time around. The property is amazing!!! The location is unbelievable, comfortable, safe, friendly, fun, upscale, beautiful and clean beaches. The condo is relaxing and nicely decorated. It has such a fresh and airy feeling to it that welcomes you the minute you walk in. Very clean. The bed is so comfortable. We used the sofa sleeper which also provided a good night sleep. For a studio condo it offered ample space for all of us; very roomy. The windows provide a nice view and It was great to look out on July 4 and watch the fire works over the ocean. There was plenty of area for eating at the table for 4 and we had everything we needed in the kitchenette for our meals. We took a cooler for our drinks and used the mini fridge for everything else. We prepared breakfast and lunches each day in the condo and went out to dinner at a different restaurant each night. We spent plenty of time at the beach enjoying the crystal clear waters on Yellow Flag days; On Red Flag days we opted for the pools. The lagoon pool is amazing, but it was so convenient to have the smaller pool right outside the door of our building. The fountains out front also provided plenty of entertainment for the little one. We had so much fun renting bikes and letting the kids ride everywhere. It was a treat to be able to walk to dinner each night and enjoy and icecream cone afterwards. The location and setting of your condo is perfect. We're already planning our next trip. Thanks again for another great vacation!!
We were in the middle of multiple shops, and bike rentals were right at the Village. Everything was close by and the weather was GREAT! Looking forward to come back again.
My mom, sister, and myself stayed in this studio for a long girls getaway weekend in April. The room is decorated very nicely and everything was quite clean. The location was perfect considering that there were several restaurants, shops, and activities within walking distance. The beach is just a short walk or tram ride away. The owner was helpful, easy to communicate with, and super kind! This is seriously a great spot to stay for an excellent price! We will definitely be back!!
This is my second time staying here and it just doesn't disappoint. Last time my friend and I did lots of exploring and ended up hanging out in Rosemary Beach mostly. This time we preferred Alys. You can't beat being in the middle of everything!!
The property was perfect for our family of four. The location was wonderful, very convenient to everything. I recommend staying here!
If you're looking for an upscale, comfortable, convenient, yet affordable studio condo on 30A....this is perfect! My daughter and I traveled to the Destin area to plan her upcoming wedding and to hopefully enjoy some time on the beautiful white beaches. This condo is beautifully decorated and furnished everything we needed, including beach chairs and an umbrella. The beach is just a short walk away as well as the amazing lagoon pool but the Tram that runs every 20 mins was perfect when we were carrying more than a beach bag. This is a very friendly bike riding area and we loved having the bike rentals right outside our door. The kitchenette was nicely furnished and had everything we need to prepare light meals, including wine glasses and bottle opener!! The owner and property manager were easily accessible, always returned phone call promptly.
We didn't get to enjoy as many of the shops and restaurants as we would have liked as the wedding planning took a lot of our time, but we'll be back and this cozy studio condo will be our first choice.
The 30-A Emerald Coast area now has: Increased special events for each season at Seaside and Rosemary Beach... including Wine Festivals, Moonlight and Movies, Improv Theatre, Arts/Champagne Shopping Tours, Rock the Block parties, outdoor markets. Easy access to Panama City Beach and its new family entertainment areas. Freshly refurbished walkovers, dunes and sugar sand beaches.
Other Activities: WIFI available in the condo and free at some local businesses, including Cowgirl Kitchen in Rosemary Beach.
Golf: The Fazio-designed Camp Creek Golf Course is within two minutes drive of the unit. Several other golf properties, including the Greg Norman-designed Shark's Tooth Golf Club, are within a 15-20 minute drive in Destin, Sandestin and the Panama City Beach areas.

Hey guys, I'm looking for RPG-esque Elf and Dark Elf figures. I'm looking for Drow/Dark Elves, or Wood/High Elves that could pass for Dark Elves.
I went through the TMP archives, and right now I'm just looking for suggestions in addition to what I already know:
I've got Reaper, who makes a ton of good stuff.I've got Black Tree Design, who makes the second generation DE knock-offsI've got Mirilton, which makes Wood Elves, very few of which could pass as Dark ElvesI've got Thunderbolt Mountain, which makes Wood Elves in a more old-school, Arthurian fantasy styleI've got GW, all three generationsI've got Mantic's new stuffI've got Avatar's of War, who make DE character figsI've got the D&DM pre-painted plastic figures, but not any of the WotC Chainmail ones. Any suggestions?
I'm missing Iron Wind suggestions?
What else am I missing, as far as Dark Elves/Drow are concerned? Anybody else make good elf figures?
Also any good Dark Elf blogs for inspiration is appreciated.
Have a look through Ral Partha
Mirliton also do Dark Elves
RAFM makes some very nice ones (including half-DE/half-spider creatures), and West Wind's Dwarf Wars has some although they are on the large size, more heroic 28mm which seems a little tall for Dark Elves.
Gale force nine do a Drow War party
Battlezone have some of the old Grenadier Dark elves designed by Mark Copplestone
The Ral Partha stuff seems a little small by today's standards, but there's a few good figures in there. The Gale Force 9 stuff is excellent, and I think WotC made a set as well, anybody know?
The RAFM stuff is good, but not great. The Vanir Sorceress is particularly good.
The Battlezone stuff is okay, just old. The swordsmen are good, in a retro way.
Great suggestions, keep 'em coming
Otherworld makes a nice set: link
Gamezone Miniatures link
Some more smaller company's that haven't been listed already in here as well link
There is also Game Zone Dark Elves:
DeadAwake, this link is great, I wouldn't have known about the Heartbreaker stuff otherwise. I also forgot about the "Elvish Archer" in the Magic: the Gathering line that they did. The Chronopia stuff is good too.
Raging Heroes!
Freebooter linkGuild of Harmony linkDark Sword linkCheck either Colonel Marbles showcase link or/and CMON for more manufacturers link
Corvus Belli:
Ral Partha (Mage Knight Metals): There were a few I was really fond of.
Someone already mentioned RAFM, but there was one that was a cut above the rest:
The Vanir Sorceress from Death in the Dark.

The inaugural Springfield Vintage Grand Prix, which had been scheduled for July 22-24, has been postponed by a year, with the organizers citing legal and safety obstacles. Springfield, Massachusetts, Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, city officials, and organizers met privately for more than an hour on Monday before making the announcement.
"We're a little disappointed, of course, but it's in the best interests of the city and the community to postpone until 2012," organizer and Springfield resident Mike Hall told public radio station WFCR. "It's been a race since the beginning to try to pull this off. The [Springfield] law department had to write special legislation for us to even make this legal in the state of Massachusetts, not just in the city of Springfield." The Republican newspaper of Springfield has also been following the story.
Organizers envision a vintage race that takes place on a 1.6-mile course through the city's downtown. One of the sticking points, apparently, is a 1915 Massachusetts law prohibiting racing in the streets. Organizers also referred to unspecified, unresolved issues with the city.
Springfield had been chosen for its pioneering role in the automotive industry; the Duryea brothers built their first car here, and a tiny sampling of the the city's notable manufacturers includes Knox, Rolls-Royce and Indian Motocycle. The race is being organized in cooperation with the Vintage Sports Car Club of America.
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix that this event has/had been confused with is still going on as scheduled July 23rd and 24th. Check out http://www.pittsburghvintagegrandprix.com for further details.
Once again politicians and lawyers get in the way….they're interchangeable….one is as bad as the other!!!
I just can't imagine a race in downtown Springfield. The streets are horrible in that area of town. They are always torn up!!
It's Springfield. This was the only outcome. I doubt next year will be any different.

Calculating cell doubling time - (May/26/2011 )
so I need to know how many cells I have in my wells at specific timepoints after seeding them, which means I need to know their cell doubling time. Since I work with human primary cells (HUVECs from fresh donors each time) I would have work this out myself.
I tried seeding 2 wells of 6 well plate, one with 1*10^5 cells the other with 2*10^5 cells, of each of three donors so I could combine and work out an average. But when I counted them around 18 hours later the number of cells seemed to be more or less the same in each well (Initially I thought they had doubled overnight but then I realised I had plated out 2*10^5 and 4*10^5 cells per well by mistake as I made calculation error in my dilutions)
My next plan is to seed cells at those 2 concentrations again (1*10^5 and 2*10^5 per well) but do it in more wells, then take counts at 24 hours and 48 hours. I am assuming perhaps the first day or so after seeding they just need to settle down and adhere properly before they start dividing again.
really you should do a proper growth curve - take multiple time points (i.e. more than 3, I would go for about 6-10) and use the numbers to plot a graph. You should then be able to fit a line to it which will give you an accurate representation of the doubling time.

Today is John Muir Day in Scotland. That makes April 21st, 2013 a perfect day to celebrate Scotland's and the world's national parks.
Yes, Muir was a Scot (though not a household name in Scotland) whose fascination with Yosemite and wild nature fed seamlessly into the now global phenomenon of national parks.
How appropriate that 2013 is the Year of Natural Scotland—and you're invited! Visit Scotland, the country's National Tourism Organization, is rolling out the red carpet for anyone who loves national parks, the outdoors, wildlife—and the great food and drink tied to nature.
On that note, if you've ever marveled at "Scotch salmon" at home—you will be amazed when you try it in Scotland. And if you lift a sip of the single malt Scotch, Laphroaig, it's literally the taste of the country's peaty turf.
Beyond that, there's a "packed programme of events" to add to the enticement!
Make Your Summer Plans
A lot of people find their way to UK in the warmer summer months just about to get underway as spring arrives. By plane, car, or the wonderful overnight Caledonian Sleeper train on ScotRail from London to Inverness, Scotland's scenery is globally oustanding. Its national parks and other heritage areas are a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience (unless you're like a lot of people and can't stop going back!).
Scotland's national parks got their start in 2000 with the National Parks Act, passed a year after the Scottish Parliament was formed in 1999. The largest national park in the United Kingdom, and Scotland's second, Cairngorm National Park was formed in 2003—which makes this nearly 2,000 square-mile, 4,500 square-kilometer park ten years old in 2013.
Capping Scotland
Caingorm National Park bulks just south of Inverness across spectacularly bulging alpine peaks that bear a wee bit of resemblance to parts of the Appalachians in the United States. The summits are cut by corries, glacial valleys, where the rounded but lofty terrain is sliced into cirque-like clefts. Four of Scotland's five highest peaks are here.
Not far from the town of Aviemore, Cairngorm well earns its reputation as a year-round "holiday centre." There's everything you'd expect in the way of trout fishing and trails, and in winter, the UK's biggest ski area boasts awesome scenery and a modern funicular lift that takes skiers to the Ptarmigan Restaurant, a few hundred meters below the actual summit of Cairngorm. Warm weather visitors can climb the easy way too—the lift operates during the summer.
Yes, they're still skiing at Cairngorm.
Cairngorm is a "living, working landscape with wild land at its heart," says Visit Scotland, perfect as a multi-day national park experience (check out this itinerary).
Loch Lommond and The Trossachs
In south-central Scotland, the country's first national park wraps around Loch Lomond and sprawls 720-square miles and 1,865-square kilometers around the hills and mountains of The Trossachs. There's a national park visitor center at the Southern end of the loch.
This national park contains 21 of the 282 highest peaks in Scotland called Munros, including Ben Lomond, the most popular mountain climb in the country. Ben Nevis, near Fort William, is Munro numero uno at 1,344 meters, or 4,409 feet (and ... that's from sea level folks).
There are also other kinds of preservation designations in Scotland in addition to national parks, all under the umbrella of Scottish Natural Heritage. That includes one of the country's premier natural settings, the National Scenic Area of Glen Coe and Ben Nevis.
A Scenic Slice of Scotland
Linking Cairngorm National Park, in the northeast, and Glen Coe, to the southwest, is an easy way to savor a premier piece of Scotland. From Inverness, a highly recommended route starts at the Cairngorms near Aviemore then wanders southwest to Glen Coe along the Great Glen where the long finger of Loch Ness cleaves the Highlands.
A Truly Grand Glen
No place in Scotland is more grand than this Glen. The visitor center south of Fort William is a one stop taste of Scottish history, human and natural. Engaging exhibits range from the famed 1692 Massacre of Glen Coe to mountaineering, wildlife to weather. Nearby, hike a half-hour to eye-popping Signal Rock. Then rise along A82 between soaring peaks to lofty, lonely Rannoch Moor. Pass the atmospheric Kings House Hotel and the bleakly beautiful setting of Blackrock Cottage. Turn around at Glen Coe ski area.
After looking up at dramatic mountains, look down from one. On your way back to Fort William, just beside Ben Nevis, you can take a gondola to 2,100 feet on Aonach Mor at Nevis Range, one of Scotland's biggest ski areas. Vistas reach coastal islands. At the top of the gondola, there's an eatery, interpretive exhibits in the Mountain Discovery Center, and gradual paths to viewpoints.
Added Stops Really Pop
The route of this drive from the Cairngorms to Glen Coe and back is a national park scenic jaunt that has other pay-offs too—among them classic Eilean Donan Castle on Loch Duich, Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness, and the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Drumnadrochit. The Exhibition is a fun, informative roadside attraction just 14 miles from Inverness where you can learn all about the loch's monster even if you haven't yet seen Nessie.
Time to Go
In a late March article in The Scotsman, Mike Cantlay, chairman of VisitScotland, said: "The Year of Natural Scotland is all about getting people out and about in our wonderful country. Whether it be experiencing the crystal clear waters of the Outer Hebrides or walking in the Cheviots in the Borders, the possibilities are almost limitless. When you factor in the stunning wildlife, it is no wonder that our natural environment is the number one reason why people want to visit here."
I agree. Time to get those plans made...

How to keep Lemon Meringue Pie from weeping
There are several tricks to insure this doesn't happen.
Heating the lemon juice with the sugar until it dissolves before adding it to the yolks will work every time. Sugar is hygroscopic so the undissolved granules will absorb moisture inside the pie and basically sugar syrup will leak out
Don't fill the pie crust with the filling until after the meringue is done. Keeping the filling in the pan (off the heat) keep it warm, and when the meringue is placed on hot filling, it helps to cook the meringue from the bottom so it doesn't over-brown in the oven. Brown at 350, no hiher. Usually I'm multi-tasking, cooking the filling, and whipping the meringue at the same time.
Also, if you place the pie in the refrigerator, that can start the weeping. If the pie is thoroughly sealed around the edges, with the meringue completely covering the filling and attached to the crust, it's fine to leave it at room temperature.
