Lorne Duncan expected to have the week off. And then, on Monday, he got a phone call: Would he like to caddie this week for a young English amateur called Tom Lewis? The 52-year-old Canadian has been on tour for 30 years. He has seen everything, and done everything – or so he thought. Here is his diary of a day in the life of golf's latest prodigy:
Friday, 5am
I'm staying in my mobile, which is parked on the seafront at Deal. I've been getting up early all week; drove up the golf course and had a quick shower. Then I went and met Fanny [Sunesson – Henrik Stenson's caddie who worked with Nick Faldo] on the 1st tee and we walked the course. You have to check where the pins were. We have pin sheets, but it's always good to check that there are none in any funny positions, where there are little swales or hollows that might take your ball away from the hole. That took a couple of hours. Got back and had a quick breakfast.
I met Tom at the players' lounge and headed to the range. He was in good form. We chatted a bit. He told me he was in bed at 10 o'clock and got straight to sleep – amazing, considering all the hoorahs that went on after his round on Thursday.
He hit the ball really well on the range. A perfect warm-up. He is the most impressive golfer I have seen in some time. He didn't seem nervous, and nor was I. He strikes me as the sort of guy who isn't happy with one good round. He wants to play well all the time, and thinks he can.
The atmosphere on the 1st tee was really good, and a bit different to what it was on Thursday. There was a few more people there today than there was yesterday, when Tom Watson got a huge cheer, and young Tom got polite applause. Today they both got a huge cheer. He nailed his 1st tee shot – ripped it down the right-hand side. It is good to hit a perfect tee shot first. It sets the tone.
Our first bogey. He hit his tee shot to the left, towards a bunker which has a huge collection point, and it went into the sand. We decided where he would lay up to. But the ball caught the top of the lip and only went about six yards. Now you might expect him to panic. But he was as cool as you like. He asked a couple of questions – what yardage and what club? – and then hit the most perfect golf shot. Unfortunately it didn't end up where he wanted but that's all right. I was really impressed by the way he handled adversity.
The 6th hole. We heard a huge roar when Tom's tee shot headed towards the green but couldn't see it land. We assumed he had knocked it stiff, but then word came back. It's gone in! Young Tom didn't hit a good shot there, then he hit a nice chip but missed the putt. I was worried the wheels might be coming off so I changed the subject – have you ever been to Sweden? Classic caddie tactic. Talk about anything but the golf.
Tom Watson asked us if we were related, and that's when it came up that the last time I had been in the same group was at the 1983 Open at Birkdale (which he won). I was caddieing for Craig Stadler that day. We talked about the great drive Tom hit on the final hole on his way to winning. It was a nice moment. He's great to play with, Watson – a real gentleman. And he still hits beautiful golf shots.
Tom's first birdie came at the 13th hole. He hit his drive 360 yards down there. We only had a pitching wedge in from there. He can really play, this kid. He is absolutely ready to do well as a pro.
He drove the ball into the right rough on the final hole, into a lie that was definitely a flier – the dry, wispy stuff from which you just don't know how far the ball will go. We decided that the right club was a seven iron, but it went off like a rocket and headed through the back of the green towards the out of bounds. Luckily it hit a post and bounced back on to the path. I was embarrassed.
Tom was fuming when he came off the golf course. Like all golfers, young and old, he probably finds it difficult to realise that everybody else out on a links course is having a hard time. But after 10 minutes, and a couple of interviews, he was calm. And I was impressed by that, too. He really is something.

Concerns port merger will increase red tape
The operator of the Wyndham Port is concerned a State Government decision to consolidate port management will lead to greater levels of bureaucracy.
Under the changes, regional ports will be consolidated into single port authorities in the Kimberley, Pilbara, and Mid West while a Southern authority will cover Bunbury, Albany and Esperance. Fremantle will remain a stand alone port.
Tony Chafer from Cambridge Gulf Limited - which leases and operates Wyndham Port - says although the change will be positive, he hopes it will not slow down business.
"We've been able to do some remarkable things at the Wyndham Port and we just hope that this new arrangement doesn't introduce another level of bureaucracy that's potentially going to slow things down in terms of getting things improved for our customers," he said.
However, yesterday Transport Minister Troy Buswell said the consolidation of regional port authorities into four was aimed at improving efficiency and reducing red tape.
"We want to lift the standards of our port authorities," he said.
"We also want to improve our overall level of strategic planning to make sure for example we're not duplicating investments and we're not competing for customers."
Maximise potential
The Chamber of Minerals and Energy is hoping the restructure will help maximise WA's export potential.
In the past 12 years, the proportion of national merchandise exports shipped from WA has increased from 26 to 46 per cent.
Chamber Director Damian Callachor says the changes could ensure that figure improves further but in-depth consultation with the resources sector will be needed.
"The resources sector is currently valued at just over $100 billion and a majority of that would be for export," Mr Callachor said.
"So therefore we hope this reform will see to manage the future growth of the freight task for all port users from West Australian ports."

Welcome to the 1970s. Flower power, bell-bottom pants, and wars. This decade was as colorful and relaxed as it was dark and tense. Follow Joe, the protagonist of this app, on his journey to save the world from a catastrophe in the future...
If you are looking for a game whose presentation and artistic direction perfectly reflects its thematic focus, you should take a closer look at The Silent Age. Set in the paradoxical decade of the 1970s, this mobile game will transport you on a journey through time. Not only are its plot and content based in this era, but the entire look of the app reflects this iconic time in history. But let us not get ahead of ourselves.
The year is 1972. You find yourself in this era that is so often romanticized by mainstream media. Flower power, funky music, disco balls, and bell-bottom pants. Flower prints, colors, drugs, and rock'n'roll. Many people are quick to create an image of this era that is pretty one-sided. In reality, this decade's imagery stood in stark contrast to its world politics. Its flower power movement and colorful visuals were a mirror of and reaction towards the Cold War and the political conflicts that dominated the time. The protagonist of The Silent Age lives in this day and age. His name is Joe which couldn't be more appropriate of his regular life and his mediocre personality. He is average in every single definition of the word. This makes it all the more surprising that he of all people finds himself in the midst of a quest to save the world from its dark future.
In the mobile game, you will take control of Joe, the surprise hero of this adventure. While tending to his duties as a janitor, Joe encounters an old, dying man who gives him a device with which he can travel through time. His quest? Save the world from a mysterious tragedy that will eliminate humankind.
In a point-and-click adventure style game (think of Valiant Hearts: The Great War), you will walk through various locations and solve all kind of riddles. Each completed task brings you one step further to solving the mystery of the future. With your device, you will hop back and forth between the year 1972 and 2013 to save the world.
The mobile game is free-to-play and available for iOS and Android devices.

Barker Move Looks Unlikely
Colchester United fans are worried that their club`s attempts to sign Chris Barker may be thwarted after the Welsh outfit put him on the transfer list this week.
It is thought that Barker, who said "he will be waiting by the phone" for a call from Colchester, would be let go for around £100,000 thus leaving the Ninian Park outfit for a lot less than the £650,000 they paid to tempt him from Barnsley.
This would still be asking a lot of the U`s, whose limited transfer budget seems to stretch to virtually nothing.
The left back was a great asset to the side last season as they shot up the Championship table, finishing Barker`s old employers overall in 10th.
Seemingly the only hope Colchester have of landing Barker without a fee, after talks apparently broke down between the Essex side and Cardiff in January, is if nobody bids for the Englishman and his current side agree to cancel his contract by mutual consent.
Given his fantastically consistent performances last term, this seems unlikely to happen.
As manager Geraint Williams told the East Anglian Daily Times today: "We tried to sign Chris (Barker) on a permanent contract during the transfer window in January, and we will be trying to do the same this summer.
"Chris was a key member of the squad, as was Hogan (Ephraim). I would like to have both back for next season."

Are Supplements Safe?
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Whether it is for sexual enhancement, dietary purposes, or overall well being, Americans have reportedly spent more than $28 billion on various supplements. They consume vitamins, amino acids, herbal ingredients, minerals, and other natural products all the while assuming they are effective and safe. As a result approximately 51,000 new supplements have been introduced to the public since the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). DSHEA was supposed to ensure that new ingredients that were introduced after 1994 provide the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with evidence that suggests an expectation of safety. However, this aspect of the law has not been enforced. Only 170 of new supplement ingredients were submitted to the FDA for approval, a small fraction of the ingredients for which should have been submitted do to the exponential amount of new products available. In fact industry supporters and the FDA have admitted that new products were introduced without an assessment of safety. For example, Zotrex (a sexual enhancement supplement) was recently recalled by a highly respected dietary-supplement company in Utah because it contained an analogue of sildenafil that was never tested on humans.
What have recently been under debate by industry supporters is the FDA's new guidelines designed to help assess new ingredients. The proposed guidance clarifies what the FDA will use to assess the evidence of safety. Supplements would be evaluated according to three factors: formulation and proposed daily dose (more or less than formerly consumed), documented history of use (supplements or herbal medicine sold outside of the U.S.), and the recommended duration of use (long-term or intermittent). The guidelines would improve safety of new supplements by requiring animal, in vitro, and tolerability testing for products marketed for consumption higher than past recommended dosage. Also more clarity will be given to what exactly is an old ingredient and what is a new ingredient. Industry supporters aggressively argue that the FDA's new guidance is overly stringent and needs to be withdrawn. According to advocates, the requirement for in vitro and animal testing undermines the DSHEA law because the FDA is requiring the same safety standards for supplements as they are for food additives; such as, a chemical preservative sprayed inside a can of tomato soup. Congress did not require the standards to be the same when drafting DSHEA because food additives needed more evidence for safety. However, the new law is for new supplement ingredients. Generally the FDA's legal authority over new products, including new supplement ingredients, is greater than established products. It would be impossible to assess the reasonable expectation of safety of new ingredients without experimental data.Supporters of the new FDA guidelines fear that if the FDA gives into industry pressure then the public health consequences will be significant due to the rising number of Americans turning to new supplement products to treat ailments or sustain their health. They believe that if the FDA will still insist on scientific evidence to demonstrate safety, then a database could be created to provide evidence to consumers, physicians, scientists, and regulators for them to make an informed decision about whether they should actually use a supplement or not and while also improving the safety of supplements in the future.

Major Brendan C. Anzalone, M.D., a member of the United States Air Force Special Operations Surgical Team-Special Ops Critical Care Evacuation Team (SOST-SOCCET) based at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious achievement in command of his team during operations in Afghanistan.
SOST-SOCCET consists of active-duty Air Force medical professionals including trauma and orthopedic surgeons, emergency physicians, nurse anesthetists, surgical scrub techs, critical-care nurses, and respiratory techs. They are charged with providing far-forward medical care during combat operations wherever the U.S. military is engaged. When not on active deployment, the team trains at UAB in surgery, in the trauma center and in the intensive-care units.
Anzalone's Bronze Star citation states he distinguished himself during ground operations in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom from July to December 2012. Team members under his leadership conducted 17 lifesaving trauma resuscitations and evacuated 46 trauma patients.
The citation credits Anzalone with effective positioning of his team to provide surgical interventions during seven mass casualty events. This includes providing lifesaving care to coalition personnel injured during 14 indirect fire attacks and one mortar and machine gun assault on Anzalone's forward-operating bases. Anzalone's leadership was also cited in his team's response to two "green on blue" attacks on coalition forces by Afghan security personnel. The citation notes, "The exemplary leadership, personal endeavor and devotion to duty displayed by Major Anzalone in this responsible position reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force."
The SOST-SOCCET team has been based at UAB since 2010. UAB's Level One Trauma Center sees more than 3,000 patients each year with injuries — from car wrecks, accidents or crime — that mimic what the team sees in battle. This provides an enhanced opportunity for team members to train and prepare between deployments to combat zones. Learn more about the UAB SOST-SOCCET team.

Henry 'Hank' Braden IV, former legislator, dies
22nd July 2013 · 0 Comments
Henry E. Braden IV, an attorney, civil rights activist and former state legislator, died Monday at Interim LSU Public Hospital of congestive heart failure at the age of 68.
Braden, a former state senator, also served as a lobbyist, an executive director of Total Community Action and the Urban League of Greater New Orleans and as director of the Office of Manpower and Economic Development under former New Orleans Mayor Moon Landrieu.
As a member of the Moon Landrieu administration, Henry Braden paved the way for a generation of Black professionals and politicians to take on various roles in city government.
Braden, a St. Augustine High School alum, earned a bachelor's degree from Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York and a law degree from Loyola University.
He had been a practicing attorney since 1975 and served on the Executive Committee of the Democratic National Committee from 1976 to 1984.
Braden was also a founding member and board member of the Community Organization for Urban Politics (COUP) and served in the Louisiana Senate from 1978 to 1984.
Through his work with the Urban League of Greater New Orleans, Braden helped to increase opportunities for Blacks in labor unions and used his post at City Hall to identify, recruit and develop a generation of Black economic and political leaders.
"The members of the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus are deeply saddened by the loss of Mr. Henry E. Braden IV," LLBC chairwoman Rep. Katrina Jackson said in a statement Monday. "When we as members of the Caucus were informed of his death, our hearts were deeply saddened. Mr. Henry E. Braden IV was indeed a pioneer and trailblazer in Louisiana's civil rights and political leadership. We will keep his family and friends in our prayers."
Friends, former classmates and colleagues remember Braden as someone who opened doors for other people of color at City Hall and increased Black participation in the local economy and politics.
"I worked with Hank Braden and Lambert Boissiere when they were director and assistant director of the Urban League's New Orleans Plan, respectively," fellow St. Aug alum, political consultant and community leader Dalton Savwoir told The Louisiana Weekly. "During the 1960s and 1970s, African Americans had to prove that they were equal to other Americans. In order to gain entrance to the labor unions of that time, they set up tests based on subjects like mathematics and physics to qualify for admission to unions in trades like elevator installation, electricians and even plumbers. I was in graduate school at the time and Judge Kern Reese and I were the tutors for the program. I can remember a 90 percent passing rate of our applicants."
"He was involved in just about every election in most of his adult life," fellow St. Aug grad and former New Orleans Mayor Sidney Barthelemy told nola.com. "He was someone who supported candidates in every election."
"He had always been political, always," Paul Beaulieu, a childhood friend and WBOK general manager, told nola.com. "He was always interested in government. Part of his philosophy was that government was important, but it all started with government."
Former New Orleans Mayor Marc H. Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, told nola.com that Braden served as a mentor for "countless politicians, lawyers, doctors, teachers and community activists."
Dalton Savwoir said Thursday that Braden's passing underscores the Black leadership vacuum in New Orleans and the need for principled people to step forward with courage and vision. "It's important to know that the game has not changed," Savwoir told The Louisiana Weekly. "African Americans are still the last hired and the first fired. We still need people like Hank Braden to push the doors open. Even though the threshold may be high, we, as African Americans, will have to persevere. We owe this to our ancestors and our children."
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu also reflected on the passing of a bonafide political and economic trailblazer.
"Today we lost a civic giant who worked tirelessly on behalf of our community," Landrieu said in a statement Monday. "Hank Braden served our city, our state and our country with distinction for decades. From his work with the Urban League and Total Community Action, to his service in the legislature, he truly personified what it means to be a public servant. He will be dearly missed, but his legacy will certainly live on."
Henry Braden IV is survived by his wife, Michele Braden; two daughters, Heidi and Remi Braden; two sons, Hal and Nicholas Braden; a grandson, Jack Cooper; and a host of loved ones and friends.

(Literary Masterpieces, Critical Compilation)
Of the many mass brutalities visited on their people by totalitarian regimes in the twentieth century, the famine of 1958- 1961 that claimed more than thirty thousand lives in China cannot be matched for either the deliberate cruelty of the Marxist dogmatists responsible or for the degradation suffered by the victims who ate grass, bark, and even other starving humans. Becker has read many books, examined important documents, and interviewed numerous survivors, and using this information he has written a frank account of atrocities that were concealed for twenty years.
China has known many famines. Historical documents show that between 108 b.c.e. and c.e. 1911, China endured 1,828 major famines. Although natural disasters certainly played a role, gouging landlords, bandits, and crippling taxes did much to worsen bad conditions. Five million Chinese people are estimated to have starved during World War II, and in nineteen provinces the famine continued under Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government even after the Japanese surrendered in 1945.
In 1924, the Communists and the Nationalists were still united, and Mao Zedong argued for the need to redistribute the land. Although scholars today debate just how brutal Mao was in the 1920's and 1930's in redistributing land held by his Communists, in the years from 1935 until 1949, Mao pursued strict Stalinist policies in eliminating the richest peasants and encouraging class warfare among them. Becker estimates that two to five million landlords were killed after the Communist triumph in 1949. The peasants then enjoyed a brief period of comparatively prosperous autonomy, but a harsh collectivization soon followed.
Becker says that Mao repeated Joseph Stalin's earlier mistakes with the Russian peasants. In 1918, the Russian peasants had resisted turning their surplus grain over to the government, and the Communists had pitted the poorer peasants against the richer kulaks. Grain production plummeted, and by 1921 millions were starving, forcing Nikolay Bukharin in 1923 to promise the peasants a new deal. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin died in 1924, and in 1929 Stalin renewed a crushing collectivization to finance his ambitious five-year plan of industrialization. The peasants destroyed their property and their animals in defiance, and Stalin closed the peasant churches and suppressed ethnic traditions in peasant culture. In the period 1931-1933, the state seized grain supplies and sold them (as Mao was to do). The terrible food shortages that resulted—especially in the fertile Ukraine—led to widespread starvation in 1932-1933, forcing Stalin to stop the grain appropriations in 1934. Three years later, Stalin initiated the Moscow show trials, a direct consequence, Becker believes, of the famine. The records indicate that up to eleven million Russian peasants died between 1930 and 1937, a virtual genocide in the Ukraine.
Mao's first collectivization lasted from 1949 until 1958 and was accompanied by the substitution of party meetings and agitprop drama for the peasants' traditional religious rites. Despite opposition in the Party, Mao was convinced that only collective farms could fuel the nation's industrial effort. The devastating results—average grain yields fell to below those of 1931-1937—simply hardened Mao's determination and led him to announce "The Great Leap Forward" in 1958.
Mao's great leap was doomed from the beginning by his embrace of the absurd agricultural practices developed in Russia under Stalin, mainly by the pseudo-scientist Trofim Lysenko, who rejected genetics as bourgeois pretentiousness. Ridiculous experiments—such as crossing a cotton plant with a tomato to produce red cotton, and a Yorkshire pig with a Holstein Friesian cow—ensured failure. Intense close planting of seeds, coupled with deep plowing, produced meager results. Other wrongheaded measures included fertilizing with rubbish, contriving ill-designed farm tools, ignoring common sense in land management, waging war on the "four evils" (birds, rats, insects, and flies), and building shoddy dams. All these measures backfired, but the false reports of sycophantic bureaucrats kept exacerbating the peasants' misery. Grain production dropped in 1959 by thirty million long tons, but the lying officials appropriated everything and persecuted the peasants. Deaths from starvation peaked in early 1960. Even so, Mao increased the pressure to produce, while the Party acted paralyzed.
The peasants hated the communes, which Mao created from Karl Marx's proposal in the Communist Manifesto of "agro-cities." The...

Participants in this class will learn how to build, program, and control haptic devices, which are mechatronic devices that allow users to feel virtual or remote environments. In the process, users will gain an appreciation for the capabilities and limitations of human touch, develop an intuitive connection between equations that describe physical interactions and how they feel, and gain practical interdisciplinary engineering skills related to robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, bioengineering, and computer science. To participate fully, users will need to acquire/build the components of a Hapkit, and assemble and program the device. Laboratory assignments using Hapkit will give users hands-on experience in assembling mechanical systems, making circuits, programming Arduino-based micro-controllers, and testing their haptic creations. (You can still take the online course without the Hapkit, but you will not be able to do most of the laboratories.) After the class, we hope that you will continue to use and modify your Hapkit, and let us know about your haptic creations.
This is a self-paced course, so you can complete the videos, quizzes, and lab assignments on your own schedule. Grading is automated. However, we suggest spending about one week on each of the 5 modules in the course, with each module taking about 10 hours of your time (depending on your background/experience).
The required background for this course is high-school physics (non-calculus is fine) and pre-calculus. Beginning programming is experience is helpful. Haptic device design, robotics, and mechatronics experience are not required -- this is designed as a gateway course for these topics.
Allison is an associate professor in the Stanford University mechanical engineering department and (by courtesy) computer science department. She is the director of theCollaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine (CHARM) Laboratory. Allison creates robots and human-computer interfaces that use haptics (the sense of touch) in order to improve human health, safety, and quality of life. She and her students study applications of haptic technology in robot-assisted surgery, prosthetics, rehabilitation, simulation and training, space teleoperation, and education. Allison is committed to sharing her passion for research and discovery, using robotics and haptics in outreach programs to groups underrepresented in engineering. Outside academia, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, running, and playing ice hockey.

JOBSEEKERS in Wigan have received a double jobs boost with the town set to benefit from a chunk of a £9.5m grant to help get people back into work.
The Big Lottery Fund today has announced that Greater Manchester will receive the lump sum from Talent Match, its £100m youth unemployment initiative.
The scheme is designed by young people for young people, with the aim of helping those aged 18-24 who are struggling the most to find career opportunities.
Now the fund has awarded the Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO) £9,554,906 to help local young people who have been unemployed or out of education for at least 12 months.
It isn't yet known how much Wigan will receive exactly or where it will be channelled but the town will be one of 10 areas to benefit.
Talent Match projects are led by a cross-sector partnership with a key focus on employers, particularly from the private sector, to ensure that it meets local needs and young people are given opportunities get the skills to find employment.
The GMCVO will now use the money to work up local solutions to a nationwide problem that threatens serious consequences for an entire generation of young people and the wider economy.
The ACEVO Commission on Youth Unemployment has estimated that the issue will cost £28bn over the next decade.
Nat Sloane, England chairman of the Big Lottery Fund, said: "Youth unemployment is an issue that threatens the hopes of an entire generation as well as our whole economic wellbeing.
"Talent Match promises to help the very hardest to reach young people to make the most of their skills and ambitions, not just as an end goal, but by giving them a say in how the programme itself is designed and put into practice.
"The funding announced today is a key step on a very exciting journey as it means the real work can now begin. By bringing together employers and the knowledge of key charities,
"Talent Match will help ensure today's young people have the maximum help and support they need to find a fulfilling and rewarding career."
Since the National Lottery began in 1994, over £30bn has been raised and 400,000 grants awarded.
Meanwhile, a new transport project aimed at getting unemployed people back into work through on-the-job training and work experience is proving a success. Jobseekers from across Greater Manchester are expected to graduate from the programme, which is giving access to training, professional qualifications and work experience. The scheme offers two 12-week-long free courses, either to train as an accredited community transport driver or in furniture warehousing.

Former U-M student gets 20-60 years in killing of mentally ill mother
Jeffrey Pyne, the former University of Michigan student convicted of bludgeoning his mentally ill mother to death, was sentenced Tuesday to 20 to 60 years in prison, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Police said Pyne, 23, beat and stabbed 51-year-old Ruth Pyne in the garage of the family's Highland Township home in May 2011. Prosecutors said Jeffrey Pyne was angry about his mother's mental illness.
Pyne again pleaded his innocence at the sentencing hearing, according to the Free Press, and asked for leniency. His father read a letter from Pyne's younger sister during the hearing, asking for her brother to come home soon.
Wed, Jan 30, 2013 : 3:41 p.m.
Is there some reason the headline description of this murderer had to be "Former U-M student"? What relevance does this have to the crime? Why not just man from Highland Township. Please go work for the Inquirer.
Wed, Jan 30, 2013 : 12:55 p.m.
Unless the jury had a lot of information that we do not have, I would not have been able to convict. I honestly don't know if he killed his mother or not, but from what I read, there is nothing that tells me he did. And regarding is sentencing, that is a farce and should be appealed. The extenuating circumstance alone of years of abuse should factor in and be a lighter sentence, yet he was sentenced LONGER than state guidelines.
Sam S Smith
Wed, Jan 30, 2013 : 12:54 p.m.
I don't know if this young man is guilty or not. If anyone is having difficulty dealing with a family member who has a diagnosis of mental illness of whatever kind, and this difficulty in itself is common, please contact NAMI for help. You are not alone! NAMI is a great support system for families and friends and well as those who have a mental illness diagnosis.
Wed, Jan 30, 2013 : 11:08 a.m.
Following this case, I hope they win an appeal. I just never thought this young man was proven guilty. Just my opinion.
Wed, Jan 30, 2013 : 7:06 a.m.
Don't know if defendant is Guilty. "The murder weapon was never found, and there were no eyewitnesses. But there was circumstantial evidence." I do know that Oakland Circuit Judge Bowman Exceeded the Sentencing Guidelines and that is Travesty in a case like this! hope the Court of Appeals will adjudge this young man a "Sentence Cut."

Arsenal's Myopic Manager, Admits LiesAugust 14, 2009
Arsene Wenger, the "Emirates Mole," has opened a can of worms by admitting that he has lied to defend the actions of his players.
The Arsenal supremo said: "At times I saw it, and I said I didn't to protect the player, because I could not find any rational explanation to defend him."
This admission comes in the wake of last season's "Fabregate" scandal, in which Hull City's assistant manager Brian Horton claimed to have been spat at by Arsenal's club captain, Cesc Fabregas.
When asked of the his captain's actions at the time, Wenger claimed he had seen nothing of the incident. Does this now mean that Wenger actually did see his captain spit at Horton?
Admittedly, Wenger fails to see how anyone could do such an act, but it would also mean that Wenger had brought the game into disrepute by failing to tell the truth during the FA's official investigation in to the incident.
In light of this new information, it would be prudent for the FA to keep a very close eye on Fabregas.

A few months before that, students in Bangkok invented a hula hoop that can charge a cell phone. Thai singer Noona had a hit single with her song "Hula Hoop." And then there's their Guinness World Record which they set with almost 5000 people hooping simultaneously. So it's not a surprise that a few nights ago, Thailand's Got Talent featured a contestant named Seaman hooping it up. Not only did she impress the judges (not a single one pressed the X button), but after her performance all three judges joined her on the stage to give hooping a try!

Student developers feted for efforts in aid of farmers
Monday February 1 2016
Two Kenyan students have won a fully paid trip to Canada, for developing the best Agribusiness App for iLabAfrica- Waterloo University Agribusiness mobile tech challenge.
Mr Norman Muga, Strathmore University and Mburu Njunge, Kenyatta University will stay at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada for one week.
At an event graced by the Kenya's Ministry of Information and Communication Principal Secretary Dr Victor Kyalo, they were honoured for creating the mobile application ConviFarm.
ConviFarm seeks to provide sustainable solutions for increasing food security and providing better methods of agriculture through the mobile phone. Farmers in remote areas get information on crop protection and veterinary services via the application.
Bottom of the pyramid masses
"Agriculture is the mainstay of at least 80 per cent of the Kenyan population. We chose this sector because it has a direct impact on the bottom of the pyramid masses," said iLabAfrica Director- Dr Joseph Sevilla.
The mobile tech challenge is open to members of the public, students of Strathmore and other universities as well as private applications developers.
Its top prize is a one week trip to Ontario Canada, where winners join other developers around the world in training and incubation. The second prize is a full scholarship for a 6 months Strathmore Entrepreneurship Development Program.
The challenge is employing a virtual incubation technology developed by University of Waterloo's Conrad Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology Centre, to reach and incubate agribusiness mobile app ideas across Kenya. iLabAfrica has been running the system on pilot at its iBizAfrica incubation centre.
Speaking during the award ceremony, Dr Victor Kyalo commended iLabAfrica for delivering global partnerships that deepen technology innovations.
"This centre continues to interest developers to come up with world class innovations and solutions that can impact the bottom of the pyramid in Africa."

First of all, this is not a proposal but just thoughts aloud or request for discussion if you wish. Problem in general: In some cases there is a need of assigning blocks of styles as whole sets - "all or nothing". Example - styling of scrollbars: (I am not speaking here about aesthetical, usability and other matters of scrollbars styling - assume that these issues are irrelevant to the problem) Let's assume that scrollbar consists of DOM elements and each of them can be styled independently. Imagine that scrollbar has following structure: <scrollbar> <button class="step-minus" /> <button class="slider" /> <button class="step-plus" /> </scrollbar> Let's imagine that we have a task to assign non-stnadard scrollbar style to some scrollable element with id #some-container. To be able to accomplish this task I introduced something what I name "style sets". Definition by example: /* some scrollbale container with custom scrollbars */ #some-container { overflow: auto; /* non standard attributes, sic: */ vertical-scrollbar: my-v-scrollbar-style; /*nmtoken - name of style set*/ horizontal-scrollbar: my-h-scrollbar-style; } and sowewhere in style system I have following defintion: /* declaration of named style set */ @set my-v-scrollbar-style { .step-minus { background-color: ....; border: ....; } .step-plus { background-color: ....; border: ....; } } --------------------------- So if vertical-scrollbar: set-name; is defined for some element and there is such named set seen somewhere then it will be applied in the whole to correspondent scrollbar. I found this approach ("all or none") "ideologically better" than what is implemented in Internet Explorer [1]. Another benefit of style sets: style sets do not "pollute" main namespace of style systems - are not making worse task of style resolution of styles for the whole document/DOM. --------------------------- I beleive that there are cases other than scrollbar styling where style sets ("all or none") are also highly desirable. (Task of input elements styling is in this category for sure.) So is the question: are these named sets useful as a generic feature of CSS? Currently CSS has at least one use case for style sets - @media blocks. Probably it makes sense to generalize this somehow and combine them in single entitty?

The Oakland City Council will decide next week whether it will prohibit city investments in gun makers and pressure police, fire and public employees retirement funds to do the same.
The finance and managment committee for the city council voted 3-0 to send the measure to a full council vote.
City attorney Barbara Parker and councilmembers Larry Reid and Rebecca Kaplan supported the measure that would ban Oakland from investing in or holding ownership stakes in companies that manufacture firearms, according to a report from Parker's office.
While the city report included in the measure noted that Oakland does not have any investments in firearms manufacturers, it did not say if its police or fire retirement systems do. But the city does not have control over the Oakland Police and Fire Retirement System or the Oakland Municipal Employees Retirement System Board, which have investment portfolios of about $470 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
All the measure would do is prompt the city to "urge" these retirement systems to sell off any investments in gun makers they might currently have. It would also direct the city administrator to review Oakland's future investments to make sure the city complies.

I'm not a geologist, vulcanologist nor even a phenomenologist but I've spent a lot of time in the last few years reading about and watching Vesuvius, mostly online or in the media, and once or twice on the spot, while writing a book on its enduring fascination.
Whether it was the birthplace of Vulcan or the nemesis of Pompeii, a favourite subject for Andy Warhol or J. M.W. Turner, a must-see for a Grand Tourist or a cheap air ticket away for the modern traveller it is - the subtitle of my book - "the most famous volcano in the world."
Even as I write, a disconsolate group of unemployed workmen are perched on a ledge, quite a few metres down the (fortunately, for now) moribund crater. They had been looking after the network of footpaths that zigzag around and up the mountain, through the National Park.
Now the cooperative that they worked for is gone, they have nothing at all and in an interview of quiet misery, their elderly spokesman told a journalist from the Repubblica website about their desperation - victims of austerity, only fortunate in being able to harness the volcano for publicity purposes. Thank goodness at this time of European crisis, Vesuvius is calm, for most of the seismologists who were monitoring it 24/7 have also lost their jobs. They spent a recent Christmas sitting on their office rooftop to draw attention to the situation; Vesuvius might have been a better choice.
Sometimes the symbolism of Vesuvius was more positive. On a May evening in 1814 Humphry Davy and Michael Faraday, towering figures of Regency science, climbed up the (erupting) cone only to find, to their surprise, a party going on. Enormous numbers of people were gathering and a feast being prepared, not just the guides' stale old trick of boiling an egg on the hot lava.
By the light of flaring torches, on fine cloths, were laid quantities of turkey, chicken, cheese and wine. God Save the Queen and Russian national songs were being sung with gusto. They learned that Napoleon had been defeated and the Neapolitans hoped the days of Joaquim Murat in Naples were numbered. Both before this date and after, countless monarchs and national leaders scrambled or were pulled up the volcano - as if it might confer some sort of blessing or, left unplacated, wreak havoc on their kingdoms or empires.
Yet since 1944 everyone has forgotten what the volcano is capable of, so unpredictable - devious when quiet, ferocious in action. The 1906 eruption broke up Thomas Cooke's funicular railway to the summit like a child throwing a tantrum a toy train set. After the catastrophe, the Italians asked to be relieved of their responsibility for the 1908 Olympics, pencilled in for Rome. Thus London came to host the Olympic Games for the first time.
The noise of rumbling and banging that the Allied forces in and around Naples heard one night in March 1944 suggested to them that Axis bombardment had begun. Having been in southern Italy since the autumn of 1943, the volcano looming over the city seemed the least of their worries. But, it turned out, Vesuvius was erupting and the mission changed in an instant into a humanitarian effort, as the lava edged down the slopes consuming everything in its slow, deadly slow, path. You can watch it in newsreel footage on YouTube, a cupola borne off a church down the mountain, the rest of the village turned into a sea of hardcore.
As so often, the villagers summoned up effigies of San Gennaro, the Neapolitan saint who has had the task of dealing with plague, disaster and (especially) volcanic eruption since medieval times.
When the phial of his blood in the cathedral fails to liquefy, a ritual that takes place with due ceremony three times a year, there is trouble ahead. In retrospect, the fact that the contents of the phial remained stubbornly solid on 16 December, 2009, as I witnessed the priests' long and ultimately fruitless vigil, should have been of concern. Little in southern Italy has gone well since. Only Vesuvius is biding its time.
Vesuvius by Gillian Darley is published by Profile Books in paperback on 24 May at £8.99

Any CCU nurses want to talk
Looking to communicate with other Nurses in Carciac Care Units. If interested, please click on the post reply option.
Aug 2, '98Hi,
My name is Steve, I work in a large coronary care unit (16 beds) in the south west of the united kngdom. Would very much like to here from other like minded individuals with a genuine interest in coronary care nursing.
Hope to here from you soon!
Aug 3, '98Hello, My name is Cheryl, I am a Coronary Care Nurse in Townsville, Australia. I am at present trying to formulate a policy and procedure for femoral sheath removal, in the coronary care setting for registered nurses. This I have found has a lot more implications for registered nurses than at first I thought. If anyone has similar experiences I would like to hear from them. I am trying to formulate a policy that would be accepted by our unit and set in motion a procedure that would be in alignment with the acceptable standards for coronary care nurses throughout the world. If you have any thoughts, experiences or just want to chat, please reply.
Aug 3, '98Are your femoral sheaths in place after Cardiac Catherization procedures and stent placement? We remove those in our unit and I can check on our policy next time I work. I am in California, USA.
Aug 14, '98Hi! My name is Shari. I have been in critical care for 10 years. The last year I switched to CCU. It was a weakness for me so I took the plunge to learn more about it. I'm in a large teaching hospital where we do several caths and interventions every day. The pace is extremely fast. So far so good though. It definitely is a different world.
Aug 16, '98Hi! I'm Jennifer and work in a 20 bed CCU in Clearwater, FL. We do PTCA's, stents, arthrectomy's etc. every day...a few MD's do radial procedures now and some use the new Perclose procedure to stich the artery closed afterwards so they come back without arterail lines in. The Rn's pull all the sheaths. WE generally have 2 patients..rarely 3 stable ones.
Aug 21, '98I am day charge nurse on a 20 bed cardiac unit. We also pull our own sheath usually depending on the PTT being below 50. We find that Dramamine 25mg and morphine from 2-8 mgs works well. We use manuel pressure although we do have the C-clamp which to us does not work as well. Our nurse to patient ratio is five to one but not everyone will have a sheath in. We also have CABG patients sometimes less than 24 hours post op. Up until three years our ratio was seven patients per nurse. It makes me quesy to even think about that.I would love to hear from other cardiac nurses.I have worked the floor for 12 years and really enjoy it.
Oct 4, '98Hello,
We are Heath & Kerry
Heath has done ICU nursing for 2 years, and I have Neonatal nursing for almost a year and just stated in CVICU. you can reach us at firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sneaky Sounds, A Non Threatening Introduction to Tlingit Sounds and Spelling, takes a humorous approach; the book's second subtitle is Fun with Phonology, Fonology with Phun.
Tlingit is famous for having one of the most difficult and complex sound systems in the world, according to an introduction written by Richard and Nora Dauenhauer, authors of the book. Tlingit presents about two dozen sounds not shared with English. Four of these sounds are unique to Tlingit - not shared with any other language on Earth (as far as linguists know). This complexity can prove discouraging for beginners and presents a major barrier to learning.
The idea behind the book is to introduce students to the sounds of the language in as non-threatening a manner as possible, said Keri Edwards, Tlingit linguist for SHI.
"The sound system is difficult for English speakers to learn, and the book isolates some of the more difficult sounds and points out the subtle differences between them," Edwards said. "The book will help students with listening skills, such as discriminating between unfamiliar sounds, and pronunciation and spelling."
The book also will help fluent speakers learn to write Tlingit. The language historically was not written and the orthography used today was developed by linguists in the late 20th century. Consequently, many Elders fluent in Tlingit do not know the writing system. By listening to the CD and following along with the text, fluent speakers will be able to learn which symbols correspond to which sounds, Edwards said.
The CD, produced by Edwards and Albert McDonnell, was recorded by fluent speakers John Marks and June Pegues. The project was six years in the making and received support from SHI, the Juneau School District and the University of Alaska Southeast. The materials were vetted by numerous language students, auditors and community Elders. Sneaky Sounds is available through SHI for $20.
Sealaska Heritage Institute is a Native nonprofit established in 1981 to administer educational and cultural programs for Sealaska, a regional Native corporation formed under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The institute's mission is to perpetuate and enhance Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian cultures. Language revitalization is a priority of SHI.

The Internet is still in its infancy but it has already made us question many conventional notions of privacy, ownership and freedom. New technologies such as Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and WiMax, which transform Internet access into a community experience, only complicate the issues further.
At a time when 'public hotspots,' zones which provide free Wi-Fi access, are cropping up across the country, questions are being raised how 'free' the services really are and about the protocols employed to log in a 'public' network. India is not anywhere near the number of Wi-Fi clusters available in the U.S. and Singapore, but 'free' Wi-Fi has been provided in many airports, hotels and coffee shops for the past couple of years, and there are major expansion plans by companies like Bharti Airtel, which plans to add 1,000 hotspots across the country by year-end.
To access the Wi-Fi network at all Indian airports, one has to enter their mobile number in a landing page and the password is sent in an SMS to that number. Many frequent flyers like Brij Kothari, a visiting professor at IIM-Ahmedabad and social entrepreneur based in San Francisco, have serious issues with sharing their number just to quickly check their email inbox. "I have no idea what they do with my mobile number, and no assurance is provided that it will not be shared with others who might use it for advertising," he said. At the Hong Kong, Singapore and Seoul airports, one can just go online without the need for a mobile phone, and there is no time limit on free access. "The need for an Indian mobile number to access a service in an international terminal does not make sense," says Dr. Kothari.
Prateek Pashine, chief operating officer of Tata Communications Internet Services Ltd. (TCISL), says the requirement of a mobile number for customer verification is mandated by Wi-Fi guidelines laid down by the Department of Telecommunications in the interest of "national security." But he is not willing to divulge how long the numbers will stay in the authentication servers. Bharti Airtel has refused to comment.
TCISL provides Wi-Fi at the Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Cochin, Goa, Hyderabad and Pune airports. Free usage is restricted to pre-defined minutes, beyond which it is payable.
J. Shivkumar, chief technical officer, Wi5, a wireless broadband service provider, says operations in hotspots are monetised through advertising on the landing page or subsidised by means such as 'anchor tenancy.'
Someone does pay for the 'free' service at airports, but commuters say there are occasions when one cannot connect to the network because of a weak signal, while the paid service at the terminal works just fine. Furthermore, the validation mechanisms to access 'open' networks show us the kind of society we live in — one of fear, suspicion and authentication protocols.

January's #FunFinds…
Well everyone we've almost survived the most miserable month of the year and are heading into February which with lots of love and pancakes is one of my favourite months! I've actually succeeded in at least feeling more organised this month and am hoping over the year that'll begin to reflect on the blog. Over the last few months of 2014 I started writing this Fun Finds feature and have enjoyed it so much I've decided to have a go at making it a linky. Your #FunFinds could be absolutely anything stuff you've tried, places you've visited – I really look forward to seeing what you come up with. So kicking it off here are my finds for January…
The Treehouse at Number 9
Is a free musical e-book for iPads supporting Genetic Disorders UK. The delightful story was designed and written by parents who struggled to find uplifting support and materials their children may relate to following diagnosis. In response the story of an exciting gang of friends, the genies who all have things that they are both brilliant at and struggle with a little often due to medical conditions was born. This lovely free download hopes to raise awareness and acceptance of children with differences and support the charity that helps them. My children have loved listening to the adventures of Flo, Marco, Angel, Ted Oscar and friends and appear very much to accept their differences in a matter of fact manner which is hopefully what the creators would want.
Big Hero 6
Released in cinemas this Friday 30th January we were very lucky to be invited for a preview of this heart warming new film from Disney. Action-packed from beginning to end the film follows robotics whizz, Hiro, his brother and their friends as they learn to use their genius for good. A devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery. We laughed, cried and cheered during this film, it gets a huge thumbs up from us – we were very satisfied!
Hogwarts Express
Some of the most exciting news I've had this week by far is that the real Hogwarts Express will be steaming into the Warner Bros Studio Harry Potter Tour. They teased us for a week with the news and although I had seen the hoarding when at #DarkArts last year so knew they were extending I could not have guessed this is what it would hold. On March 19th Platform 9 ¾ will be unvieled complete with the original Hogwarts Express train. The permanent feature will see the train on a realistic set of tracks with steam billowing as visitors step onto the platform. The most exciting bit is yet to come – you'll be able to board the train and sit in the carriage used for filming!! Back on the platform and don't forget to pick up a souvenir from the brand new train-themed gift shop.
Not just statement of fact but a brand new laundry and dry cleaning service for London and most major cities who made my week! They collected a bag of washing and returned it freshly washed, pressed and hung. This meant for the first time in as long as I can remember I did not have a single item in my ironing pile – pure bliss! The service was wonderful from a very easy to use website to a phone call to advise exactly what to expect of collection and ask if I had any special requirements. From £2 an item with free collection and delivery I would be very tempted to use this service again on particularly busy weeks to lighten the load.
So that's it from me and now over you, what #FunFinds have you had this January – I can't wait to hear!!
I'm going to publish this linky on the final week of every month, leaving it open until the last day – I'm a little late this month so you can link until midnight on Sunday 1st Feb and I hope you'll re-visit next month!

We believe that while the overall trend in the provision of water and sanitation services has been one of improvement over recent decades (particularly in urban areas), vast differences in service provision persist, and while the gap in service provision should continue to narrow over the coming years, this will require substantial investment from both the public and private sectors.
Access to an improved water source is at 100% for the urban population, and 85% for the rural population, while access to piped water on premises is at 96% and 65% respectively. Access to sanitation is somewhat poorer, at 85% for the urban population and 44% for the rural population, while access to sewer networks is low at 53% of the urban population and just 5% for the rural population.
Complete report available @ http://www.marketreportsonline.com/308296.html.
Water usage in Brazilian cities is lower than most Argentine, Peruvian and Chilean cities, though it is approaching levels comparable with Central Europe, most likely due to increased metering which can deter consumers watching the household budget.

The Rock Business
Back to the jay-oh-bee… I hope the start of the new year has been prosperous for most of you so far this year.
Over the holidays with elbows resting on the bar with the mountain locals, I decided to change my "how I scrape a living" answer to the common question…
"What do you do?"
"I'm in the rock business"
"Your a geologist?"
"No, I spread rock"
"Landscaping and excavating work? Like gravel and stuff?"
"No, not that type of rock. The pure stuff.
"Pure like diamonds or pure like un-cut"
"Better, pure like Tool"
While I was out, "Stick-It-To-Santa" started. KILO's after-the-holidays-holiday-give-away. Flat screen, X-Box, surround system, Stone Sour tickets, $94 in spirits and bunch of other cool stuff you can win. Details and a shot to qualify during the Rock Lunch today. Also, KILO's "Madden-Bowl" is back. There's a few AFC spots up for grabs tomorrow morning with Ross. NFC sign-ups will start Thursday morning. Rock Lunch this week serves up lunch for two at Rock Bottom Brewery and Southside Johnny's.
