One of the coaches not on the Bears' ever-expanding list of head coaching candidates is their current defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli.
According to a report by Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune, that doesn't mean Marinelli is without a future in Chicago. Pompei reports that Marinelli and other assistants from Lovie Smith's final staff are still under contract and that there's "a good chance" that the coordinator remains on the job.
As General Manager Phil Emery made clear at the press conference announcing Smith's ouster that defense has not been the problem in Chicago, a point he's underlined by compiling a list of candidates that skews heavily to the offensive side of the ball. With a good defense in place, it's not hard to see an offensive-minded coach choosing to leave things as they are on that side of the ball for the time being while they concentrate on ways to put more points on the board. Pompei also points out Marinelli's head-coaching experience could be of value to a first-time head coach, should the Bears wind up going in that direction, but also writes that no one would likely stand in the way of wholesale changes to the staff.
Quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates, who has a long relationship with quarterback Jay Cutler and wide receiver Brandon Marshall, is also mentioned as an assistant who could remain with the team under a new head coach.

...I'm only finding this out THREE MONTHS after announcement...? *facepalm* I fail as a Shinki fan.
Though in my defense it kinda dropped off my radar after they shut down the Battle Rondo service and the releases of figures kinda slowed down, in a manner of speaking. As much as I love the Strarf models, by the time KONAMI released Strarf Mk.2 Lavina: Full Arms, I was like, "Enough".
Strarf, Strarf bis, Strarf bis repaint, Strarf Mk. 2, Strarf Mk.2 Lavina, Strarf Mk.2 Full Arms, and then finally Strarf Mk.2 Lavina Full Arms...enough is enough, stop abusing my wallet KONAMI. There are other Shinkis that I must tend to...
Anyway, back on the anime, F*CK YES. I thought "Maybe..." when the MOON ANGEL OVA came out but for it to actually come true, awesome. Hopefully KONAMI will have the mind to print more copies of MOON ANGEL now...and hopefully not charge 10,000yen for it. Last time by the time I pulled the money together they were sold out...orz. Sure, I could settle for DLing in on the PSP and watch it in-game on Battle Masters Mk.2 but...the quality on PSP is meh-ish at best.

1. Sentail already licensing the rest of Hidamari Sketch (making it easy for them to pick up season 4);
2. The people at Sentai having strong ties with Konami (the company behind Busou Shinki), with it dating back to the days of ADV.

I'm expecting it to go from comical to a darker over-tone, especially after hearing someone from Magical Madoka helped with the show. Lovin' that Azusa is singing the ED for the show because I can loosely associate it Amagami SS. It reassures me that the quality will be up there.
Can kind of support the speculation as well of people's Magical Madoka theories with Artemis from Battle Rondo, Tempesta & Athena from Moon Angel, and Mimic from Battlemasters. Just a few more days as well...getting highly impatient.

*Nods to the two above posts*
Well, going to go take a guess that the first few episodes will be overly comical, gradually going into abusive Shinkis & Masters then into boss. As for the boss wonder what he, she, or it will be hmm....rogue Shinkis I bet.
- Wishful Thinking -
That Renge won't be afraid of the supernatural, instead be one with it stirring up chaos for the 4 Shinkis and the Master. Just pranking chaos heh. Ya, I'm wishing too much.

I should point out that character designers and chief animation directors have no majority input on an anime's story whatsoever. So the fact that they worked on Madoka means nothing about what the story may entail.

If there's one thing I've learned in the past 3 or so years it's that just because a show has a mecha construct and/or weapon attached to the cute girl doesn't mean it's necessarily going to be any grittier or darker at any point than if it was just cute girls sitting around eating cake. It honestly depends on whether the emphasis is on portraying an overall concept, idea and tone with the characters in the show playing a part in events that are going to actually affect and change their personalities and outlooks over time (Madoka did indeed do this quiet well) or if it is simply showcasing moe personalities going through checklist events (getting to know their "handler", going to the beach, taking a bath, trying to cook etc.) and the expectation is that the viewer just gravitates towards whichever personality they prefer the most and that's that.
Anyway somehow I get the sense that this is definitely one that's going to fit into showcasing moe personalities going through checklist events.

I wanted to take some time to reflect on our last Sparkfly event on November 22, 2012. After having had the opportunity to ruminate on the goodness that arose from the special evening, I felt ready to put my feelings into words.
Cherish and I began the evening with an introduction of ourselves, our work and how we came to create Sparkfly and what it means to us. For us, this is a community of women who share their work, inspiration and process of their creative journeys. Each Sparkfly evening has a theme and the last event was centred around "Culture and Identity".
Our first guest, Chantey Dayal, is a painter living in the Cowichan Valley. I have known Chantey since I moved to Vancouver about 9 years ago. I invited her to come and share her creative journey with us. She brought originals of her fabulous work with her and told us how her upbringing with East Indian and Armenian influences shaped the person she is today and inspires her work. Chantey's paintings are colourful, beautiful and deep. She embodies her work and uses 5Rhythms dance to connect deeper with her art. Chantey also spoke about the validation of being an artist and the importantce of saying "I am a painter, and artist" without hesitation.
Chantey followed her talk with a short workshop where everyone was given the chance to draw, play and connect.
After a short break, Rachel Sawatzky from Cocoa Nymph talked about how she came about being a business owner and a chocolatier. There was so much magic for me in Rachel's talk. She recounted how she had planned to be a doctor all along and never flirted with the idea of becoming a business owner. However, the most magical thing that Rachel recounted was that her aim in her business is not necessarily making chocolates and being creative, it is more about creating a healthy and supportive work environment. Her goal is to have her employees go home with the energy to do more and be creative in their own lives. The other thing she emphasized was that Cocoa Nymph's aim is to also welcome customers in such a way that they will leave the store happier than when they came in.
Rachel also provided us with a tasting of a couple of her chocolate creations, one of them is named "Ila" after the mother of her ex boyfriend! I can close my eyes and still taste that bit of Ila heaven. Yum!
Our last guest was Mariella Bertelli, a storyteller and an all around beautiful woman. Mariella is the mother of our friend Paolo and I had seen her tell a story first at Paolo and Natasha's wedding a few years ago. Mariella was born in Egypt and moved to Italy with her family and then on to Canada. She spoke of the difficulty of fitting in with the Canadian way of life after growing up in Italy. Her compelling story revealed her struggle and 'identity crisis' that was brought upon by the union of her Italian and Canadian lives. Mariella has kept strong ties with Italy and travels there at least once a year to collaborate with international storytellers and puppeteers.
Mariella did a short workshop with everyone and she finished off our beautiful evening with a moving story about her grandmother whose grave now says, "the resident of four continents". The minute she uttered those words and as I write them now, I have goosebumps all over.
Thank you all for coming and for making the evening so magical. We are looking forward to our next event on February 21, 2013 at Little Nest. Stay tuned for more details!

Who is on it? Who is hanging in there?Me...surprised as hell I was even waitlisted and not outright rejected with my 158!!
So, I think it's really dependent on how many of the actual admits they manage to yield. Obviously if by May 1 or whenever their seat deposits are due they didn't yield enough to fill the class, they'll start pulling us off. I guess it's only logical then to try and shine the most out of anyone on the WL so you're one of the first to be called off.

Stock markets around the world rallied in the closing days of June — as did the euro, along with French and Italian bonds — after the European Council said it would let the fledgling European Stability Mechanism (ESM) make payments directly to troubled banks. A similar market move unfolded 10 days earlier when Greece voted to keep the euro. Yet another move took place 10 days before that when Spain agreed to the terms of a $125 billion bailout — the same bailout that drove up Spanish interest rates and forced the ESM decision.
In each case, however, traders made money by selling into rallies — because each of the solutions that sparked each of the rallies turned out, upon inspection, to be built on the kind of wishful thinking that worked well in the high-water years of the Internet boom and the housing bubble. That has proven woefully inadequate now that the tide has gone out.
This latest flurry of disappointing stopgap measures began late last year when the EU decided to bid an early adieu to the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF). The EFSF was the largest of the emergency lending facilities that the European Union set up two years ago to provide a safety net for faltering EU economies — a safety net that relies on two of the weakest economies for 30% of its support (see "European financial regulation update," September 2011) — and saw its own credit rating cut in January. The EFSF and the European Financial Stabilization Mechanism (EFSM) already were slated to be folded into the ESM next year, but EU leaders moved that date up to July.
This time, however, the market is demanding follow-through and yet, 10 days after the late June announcement — in other words, 10 days into the month in which it was to debut — the ESM remained in limbo and the euro was making fresh lows against the dollar.
"They've been kicking the can since 2008, and markets don't believe them anymore," says Holger Schindler, a Hamburg-based risk manager who, two years ago, was among the handful of analysts that took the possibility of a Greek exit from the Eurozone seriously (see "World rattles on wobbly euro/dollar axis," March 2010).
Back then, he says, a Greek exit might have been a good thing, but no longer. "It's less likely now, even though more people are talking about it, and it would be a disaster if it happened," he says. "The time for a clean break was 2010 — and that time has passed."
The problem, he says, is that European leaders have spent the last two years treating insolvency as if it were just a liquidity problem — implementing quick-fixes when a major overhaul was necessary, in the hope that things would get better on their own. It's a habit, he says, that developed slowly over the past half-century with good intentions, but over the last few years it let Greece's problems spread across the Eurozone in the form of bad loans and unpaid obligations.
"They should have recognized Greece as a symptom of something much larger, instead of treating it as an isolated illness," he says.

Line Magnetic Amplifiers
The curiously named Line Magnetic company of China has begun making a series of relatively affordable tube electronics, all hand-wired, and all with styling details that recall classic products from the first half of the 20th Century. LM's model 211IA integrated amplifier ($1650) was used to drive the new Gibbon 88s from DeVore Fidelity. Each channel of the amp produces 32Wpc from a pair of EL34s running in Ultralinear modethe 211IA can also be switched to triode operationwith all-tube preamp and driver stages and a silicon-rectified power supply.

I was impressed by this amp's sound, and the price is just right. I think this line is worth looking into.
Sweet sounding....

I have the 216IA driving Vandersteen speakers. I had looked around for awhile for an integrated amp. My dealer gave me a call and stated he had something special for me to hear. It was the 216IA. He carries AR, SHINDO, MUSICAL FIDELITY, ETC. He wondered how LM AUDIO can make these good amps at low prices. Check out my review at audiocircle.com

Of course, plans can be changed.
Any ideas? Anyone with petition experience would be especially great.
This may just be a pipe dream, but I've been considering trying to get some good fan action going to demand their return- tweeting Krul and co., writing letters to DC, starting a petition, etc.- but it'll take a fair number of people and some level of coordination to really make ourselves heard.
Turns out, Scans_Daily has a fair number of people and a good platform for coordination.
So, what do you all say to some type of mass effort? If nothing else, just a designated day to spam DC's, Krul's, and other relevant creator's twitters with #bringbackconnorhawke, #bringbackmiadearden, #bringbacklianharper, #bringbackthearrowkids or some similar message would catch a few eyes, but even that requires getting people together and semi-organized.
For legality, a few scans.

In order to advance to the State Contest, students must earn a superior (first division) rating on a class one ensemble (Class 1 is the most difficult music list), or on a memorized Class 1 solo. Sweetwater had students advance to state. Advancing soloists were Crysten Ivy, who memorized the Clarinet Concerto by Stamitz, Chase Scott, who memorized Improvisation and Caprice by Bozza for alto sax, and Steven Le, who memorized Mozart's Concerto #3 for French horn. Students who also advanced to state on their class 1 ensembles included Clay Kitchens – trumpet, Stephen Shipp – trumpet, Laura DuClos – euphonium, Steven Le – French horn, Corynn Martin – clarinet, Vanessa Perez-Poe – clarinet, Cysten Ivy – clarinet, and Kirsten Sparkman – clarinet. The UIL State Solo and Ensemble Contest will be held in
Additional first division solo winners were Christen Gutierrez – flute, Jasmine Reddic – flute, Corynn Martin – clarinet, Elvira Gamez – clarinet, Destiny Osteen – bass clarinet, Chance Adams – alto sax, Annie Lansford – tenor sax (class 1), Ethan Spear – tenor sax, Clay Kitchens – trumpet (class 1), Stephen Shipp – trumpet (class 1), Briana Rosas – trombone (class 1), Cody Chapman – trombone, Angelica Collier – euphonium, Laura DuClos – euphonium (Class 1), Jeremey Witt – percussion, Leah Warren – percussion, and Colton Scott – percussion.
Judge comments on Crysten Ivy's solo performance included "Absolutely beautiful sound – awesome! Technique is excellent." Laura DuClos judge critiques "Wonderful sound. Your tone and articulation are outstanding." Comments on Briana Rosas's performance were "You should be very proud of playing so well! What a great tone! Awesome job!" Jazmine Reddic's judge commented "Nice, warm flute sound! Beautiful job today!" Christen Gutierrez' judge said "Your vibrato is already very expressive. You have the potential to be great!"
Piano accompanists for the Sweetwater Band soloists were Martha Taylor and Bonnie Walters. The UIL State Solo and Ensemble Contest will be held in Austin on May 28. The Sweetwater Middle School Band solo festival will also be held in May. --Dr. Ross Grant

See Pink's Edgy New CoverGirl Ads
Pink is not your mama's CoverGirl. The singer's new CoverGirl advertisements are landing in fashion mags, and she looks hawt!
CoverGirl wanted an edgy pitchwoman and didn't want to try and mold the 'Try' singer into something she's not. Rather, Pink is her typical badass, black-clad rocker self in all of her print advertisements, which let her tattoos show, as well. She is redefining outmoded and stodgy standards of beauty with her ads and we love her and the brand for it.
The singer is repping the new Clump Crusher mascara, cloaked in black while doing it. With those patent leather, super shiny gloves, Pink looks tough, but still wholly approachable. We want to copy her extreme, winged, smoky eye makeup, too.
Pink is also endorsing CoverGirl's Lash Blast Volume mascara and Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss, the latter of which boasts the edgy tag "Go Topless." Again, since Pink has such a diamond-in-the-rough image and attitude, that type of copy fits her ads.
Pink is single-handledly helping a tried and true cosmetics brand redefine itself and show its modernity. Signing her to a contract was a smart move on CoverGirl's part.

ZFS, reportedly, detected (and corrected) the corruption. Of course a ZFS developer may be biased. I'm probably mis-remembering some of the technical details about this, since they seem quite unlikely now (something about the laser beam being somehow "corrupted", but I think this would be detected by the Fibre Channel link protocols or upper layers checksums). The technical explanation was probably more akin to data corruption during DMA transfer from the HBA to the host memory. If you remember some of the figures Peter gave, most of the corruptions they found were not random/spontaneous. A very large majority was due to buggy hard disk firmware and another significant part to a batch of defective memory. His slides are available there: <https://indico.desy.de/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=65&sessionId=42&confId=257>.

But since fsprobe writes its own data to disk, it can't test for corruptions on data (and metadata) which is already stored, leaving whole part of the disks untested on machines were files are static (system disks, program binaries, archives, etc.) On the other hand, ZFS has a "parity check on read" feature which should be able to detect these corruptions. If the data is corrupted during the transfer from disk to memory or in memory before it's moved to userland it will (supposedly) be spotted by ZFS. If the data is corrupted in memory on a machine on which we use ZFS, then the machine is badly failing since they're all supposed to have ECC memory.

Rooney defends England pull-out
Wayne Rooney has defended his decision to withdraw from the upcoming World Cup qualifiers by posting a picture online of his head injury, along with a message to those questioning his commitment to the national cause.
The 27-year-old missed Manchester United's 1-0 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday after manager David Moyes confirmed he had suffered a severe gash to his head in an accidental collision with team-mate Phil Jones in training.
Moyes also stated his belief that Rooney would not be recovered in time to join up with his England colleagues ahead of the crucial games against Moldova and Ukraine.
Rooney posted a picture of his injury on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, alongside the message: "Some people seem to be questioning my commitment to the England squad and the fact I had to pull out of the 2 games.
"There's nothing I would like more than to be helping the lads in the qualifiers. I'm sure people will see from these images the reason why I won't be able to play."
England team-mate Theo Walcott had on Tuesday described the wound as "like something out of a horror film".
The Three Lions go into the clashes with Moldova and Ukraine two points behind group leaders Montenegro but with a game in hand.
The injury means Rooney, the subject of unsuccessful bids from Chelsea over the summer, will be missing for up to a month, with the onus on goals in the qualifiers falling on the likes of team-mate Danny Welbeck and Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge.
Rooney has scored 36 goals in 84 England appearances.

What's Hot in Bond-Fund Land: Still Floating Rate Loans
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
EPFR Global's fund-flow data this week includes a chart showing where the money has headed this year in bond funds. The breakaway winners are floating-rate bonds (light blue) and emerging markets (dark yellow).
The chart shows that, at least by money flows, floating-rate bonds are now more popular. You see the trend in exchange-traded funds, where flow tends to shift with the wind, since investors can go there for immediate exposure (and leave just as easily). Nine of the 10 strongest asset gatherers of 2013 are floating-rate or short-duration bond funds. Here are the top five and their new money during 2013, data by XTF.com:
Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF (BSV), $2.68 billion
PowerShares Senior Loan ETF (BKLN), $2.16 billion
iShares Barclays Short Treasury Bond (SHV), $1.64 billion
Pimco Total Return ETF (BOND), $1.23 billion
Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH), $1.21 billion
Emerging-market bonds are still gaining money, but apparently that's so 2012, man. WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (ELD) is number 14 on the list, behind funds including iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) and SPDR Barclays Capital Short Term High Yield Bond ETF (SJNK).

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy announced Tuesday that first-term Sailors on sea duty now have more time to request extension of their expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) to complete their sea duty assignment known as their prescribed sea tour (PST).
The deadline for Sailors to submit their requests was extended to Dec. 31, 2017, from Feb. 28, as was first announced in NAVADMIN 004/17. This initiative allows first-term Sailors to match their projected rotation date (PRD) with their EAOS and helps alleviate unnecessary gaps at sea.

By Courtesy Story, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, California -- There is no greater story teller than a veteran of war. However, it is often difficult for them to articulate the things they had seen in a way that the average civilian might understand. Sometimes the story gets lost in the details. Sometimes the humor or significance of a certain situation is lost on the listener. The term "you just had to be there" is far too often an understatement. Damaso Sutis found a friend to share his story. In fact, he found two.
Retired Gunnery Sergeant Damaso Sutis began his day boarding a bus heading to Camp Pendleton for the 72nd Battle of Iwo Jima Commemoration Tour. The tour made stops at the Santa Margarita Ranch House and the Mechanized Museum that houses military vehicles past and present.

A VA psychologist in Indiana is exploring the effects yoga might have on Veterans suffering with posttraumatic stress disorder.
"There's just not that much research out there yet about the effect of yoga on PTSD symptoms," said Dr. Louanne Davis, a clinical research psychologist at the Indianapolis VA and an associate scientist in clinical psychology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "But we know that yoga is soothing. Yoga is very meditative and emphasizes being aware or mindful of your breathing and how your body feels moment to moment. This type of practice stimulates the calming branch of the nervous system and helps to reduce the hyperarousal that is one of the symptoms of PTSD."

In the past, if you wanted to buy a $99 Apple TV streaming box from Apple, you had to work a little to find it in the company's online store. It was stuck back in the iPod section, the e-commerce equivalent of being on an secluded end-cap display near the back of a retail store.
But now Apple has dramatically raised the profile of Apple TV, giving the device its own page and a coveted category position at the very top of its online store's home page.
The Apple TV page now includes "accessories," including HDMI cables (the box doesn't come with one), the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express routers and high-end AirPlay-capable speakers, among other items. And for the budget-minded – there's now a category for refurbished Apple TVs that sell for $75, or about one-fourth off the list price.
9to5Mac reports that the change comes along with a slew of rumors about a pending upgrade to Apple TV. The site quoted sources last week as saying the next version will allow it to run apps, just as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch do, with a big focus on gaming.
But that may just be the tip of the iceberg, writes 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman:
We're told that Apple has considered combining the Apple TV and AirPort Express products. Versions of the new Apple TV in testing are said to include an integrated 802.11ac wireless router.
Although our sources were unspecific on the reasoning behind this, it's likely that video quality and stability would be improved versus older versions of the device, which have needed to connect to a separate wireless router, often in another room.
Putting everything in one box could make the overall experience simpler, while allowing the router to deliver peak video performance for the Apple TV and de-prioritizing other wireless traffic as necessary.
Gurman also says that the gaming component will use other iOS devices as controllers – imagine controlling a racing game with your iPhone – and it may also have its own TV tuner. That could allow Apple TV to replace the interface for your cable TV channels.
There's no word from Gurman on whether existing versions of Apple TV would get some of these new features via a software upgrade. But Apple continues to bulk up its current offering with new content.
The company added on Monday a new channel, Red Bull TV. The channel has music, sports and other lifestyle video aimed at promoting the energy drink's image. The channel has no ads, other than the constant background hum that it's all brought to you by Red Bull. (You can hide this and any other non-interesting channel by going to Settings > General > Restrictions.)
The changes would make Apple TV more competitive with gaming consoles from Microsoft and Sony that also aim to be a living room entertainment hub. But they could also make a simple, incredibly friendly device a lot more complex. Mobile gaming is incredibly popular on iPhones and iPads, but will these kinds of games translate well to, say, a 55-inch HDTV that's not touch-compatible? Or will developers be required to create all-new versions of the games to work on Apple TV?
The upgrade would definitely give Apple TV an advantage when buyers are trying to decide between it and other streaming boxes, such as the Roku.
As is usually the case, there's no indication just when this new Apple TV will drop, but the device is long overdue for a refresh. The current version was released in spring 2012, so it's coming up on two years. While Apple has added many new features via software updates, that's still an eternity in the fast-moving world of personal electronics. Expect to see a new Apple TV sooner rather than later.

Second Auction for South Dakota Land
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Pennington County is taking another shot at auctioning 40 acres of land in the Black Hills after the first auction ended amid confusion and without a sale.
The Rapid City Journal reports that The Pennington County Board of Commissioners will hold an auction Tuesday for the land west of Deerfield Lake.
An auction for the land last month was declared a "no sale" after the man who made the winning bid realized he could not afford the price tag. He had made the winning bid of $2,550 thinking it was for the whole parcel. But it was actually per acre.
McPherson Auction and Realty is making sure the mistake isn't repeated. The auction house's advertisements for Tuesday's auction have noted that the sale is "by the acre."

This document describes the policy of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) with respect to the availability of genomic DNA sequence produced by its grantees. In conformity with the existing spirit and philosophy of the Human Genome Project (HGP), and in response to the recommendations of advisors and the expressed wishes of the community, NHGRI policies are intended to make DNA sequence information available as rapidly and freely as possible.
The HGP is an international research effort, begun in 1990, which has the scientific goals of generating maps of the human genome and producing the complete DNA sequences of several organisms, including the complete sequence of the human DNA by the year 2005. The project was undertaken in the United States following the advice of several scientific committees that emphasized its importance in creating a resource that "will facilitate research in biochemistry, physiology and medicine," have "a major impact on health care and disease prevention," and provide "enormous scientific and technological advances ... having both basic and commercial applications." At the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the NHGRI was founded to implement the HGP.
The HGP has progressed rapidly, even beyond optimistic expectations. The initial mapping goals have been completed. The DNA sequences of E. coli (and a number of other microorganisms), S. cerevisiae, and C. elegans have already been completed, while the D. melanogaster DNA sequence is expected to be completed within one year. A large-scale mammalian DNA sequencing pilot project program, initiated in 1996, has been successfully concluded. Now, large-scale sequencing projects have been initiated to complete a working draft of the human genome sequence no later than 2001 and the finished sequence shortly thereafter; a comparable program to generate the sequence of the mouse genome is also being initiated.
At the inception of the HGP, the planners emphasized that, in order to reap the maximum benefit from the HGP, human DNA sequence should be freely available in the public domain. The NIH Ad Hoc Program Advisory Committee on Complex Genomes stated that "Distribution of and free access to the databases (containing the sequence data) must be fully encouraged. Thus, the data must be in the public domain, and the redistribution of the data should remain free of royalties." Similarly, the National Research Council stated: "... access to all sequences and material generated by these publicly funded projects should and even must be made freely available ..." . In 1996, an international group of scientists, from both the public and private sectors, who were already involved in genomic DNA sequencing, passed a unanimous resolution that "all human genomic DNA sequence information, generated by centers funded for large-scale human sequencing, should be freely available and in the public domain in order to encourage research and development and to maximize its benefit to society." Subsequent international meetings, in 1997 and 1998, reaffirmed that policy and extended it to include the genomic DNA sequence of all organisms.
There are very strong scientific arguments that human genomic DNA sequence should be freely available and in the public domain:
These considerations also pertain to the genomic DNA sequences of other organisms.
Consequently the NHGRI policy applies to all organisms.
In NHGRI's opinion, raw genomic DNA sequence, in the absence of additional experimental biological information, lacks demonstrated specific utility and therefore is an inappropriate material for patent filing. NIH is concerned that patent applications on large blocks of primary (i.e., unannotated and without additional utility) genomic DNA sequence could have a chilling effect on the development of future inventions of useful products. Companies are not likely to pursue projects where they believe it is unlikely that effective patent protection will be available to them. Composition of matter patents on large blocks of primary sequence will make it difficult to protect the fruit of subsequent inventions resulting from real creative effort. At the same time, the NHGRI recognizes that, according to the Bayh-Dole Act, grantees have the right to elect to retain title to subject inventions and are free to choose to apply for patents should additional biological experiments reveal convincing evidence for utility.
It is NHGRI's policy that genomic DNA sequence data from the human and other organisms, generated by the large-scale sequencing projects it funds, should be released as rapidly as possible and placed in the public domain where they will be freely available. In order to implement this policy, NHGRI requires that its grantees engaged in production sequencing of human and/or other genomic DNA propose a plan for rapid release of finished and unfinished data to public databases. This plan is made a term and condition of the award.
For the reasons stated above, NHGRI discourages the patenting of large blocks of primary genomic DNA sequence in the absence of functional data. Grantees are reminded that the grantee institution is required to disclose each subject invention to the Federal Agency providing research funds within two months after the inventor discloses it in writing to grantee institution personnel responsible for patent matters. NHGRI will monitor grantee activity in this area to learn whether or not attempts are being made to patent large blocks of primary genomic DNA sequence.
NHGRI has for the past three years, solicited opinions and collected evidence from the broad scientific and commercial sectors to allow an evaluation of whether the approach described above has been sufficient to ensure that sequence generated by its grants has been maximally useful to the research and commercial sectors. It is NHGRI's conclusion that, to date, this approach has been sufficient to ensure the free availability of genomic sequence. However, if in the future, circumstances arise that convince NIH that additional measures are needed, it reserves the right to consider a determination of exceptional circumstance to restrict or eliminate the right of parties, under future grants, to elect to retain title.

OROVILLE — The search for Neal Forrest King, missing since March 26, has led to the arrest of an Oroville man who may have information about King's last known whereabouts.
Donald and Jennifer Cheatham have been charged in Butte County Superior Court on felony counts of cultivating marijuana and possessing it for sale. Donald Cheatham, 36, has also been charged with receiving stolen property — a revolver.
Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday. A preliminary hearing was set for April 30.
The Cheathams are the owners of Amazon Garden Supply, a nursery and garden supply store on Ridgeview Lane in Oroville.
District Attorney Mike Ramsey said at his office the Cheathams were arrested following a search warrant issued in the investigation around the missing man.
King, 24, of Chico, has been missing since March 26 after he reportedly told his girlfriend he was going to a residence on the 4000 block of Hildale Avenue in Oroville for a business meeting.
Investigators have previously said the meeting appeared to be centered around a transaction involving marijuana.
Ramsey said the residence in question belonged to the Cheathams and the purported business meeting allegedly involved Donald Cheatham.
He said Donald Cheatham was a person of interest in the King investigation because Donald Cheatham had information about King's last hours prior to his disappearance.
The investigation into King's whereabouts remains active, Ramsey said.
King's girlfriend reported him missing to the Chico Police Department on March 29, after King failed to call or check in with her. There was also no cellphone or credit card activity prior to the missing person report.
The girlfriend reportedly saw King's vehicle outside the Hildale residence, but King wasn't there. The vehicle was subsequently towed.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office has since taken over the investigation and served several search warrants in the case. Based on gathered information, foul play is suspected.
Last week, sheriff's investigators said King was believed to have been last seen alive in the Berry Creek area, about 20 miles northeast of Oroville.*
King was last seen wearing blue jeans, a light green long-sleeved thermal shirt and brown hiking boots. He is 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 120 pounds with green eyes and very short red hair.
Regarding the Cheatham cases in court, defense attorney Roland Bennett, of Rooney Law Firm, asked Judge Tamara Mosbarger to consider reducing Donald Cheatham's bail from $500,000 or to consider releasing him with a promise to return to court. Bennett also questioned why there was a large discrepancy between the Cheatham's bail amounts — Jennifer Cheatham's bail was set at $80,000.
Bennett said the case appeared to be a standard cultivation case and any potential danger to the public was removed when the marijuana was seized. He said Donald Cheatham has cooperated with police in another matter, including providing a DNA swab.
The defense attorney also stressed Donald Cheatham's lack of criminal record and lifelong ties to the area, although he lived at the Hildale address for three years. Several people in the court also stood in support of the defendant.
Deputy district attorney David Garner said it wasn't a standard case and alleged there was evidence of a large-scale marijuana trafficking organization. The search reportedly yielded 120 pounds of marijuana in various stages of processing, $59,000 in cash and a stolen .38-caliber revolver.
Regarding the difference in bail amounts, Garner said Donald Cheatham alone faced the stolen weapon charge. He also noted the seriousness of the marijuana and money allegations.
Garner also said the defendants told officials they didn't know where the items came from.
Bennett refuted the claim, saying Donald Cheatham wasn't present during the search and didn't make such statements.
Judge Mosbarger declined the request for now and noted the bail was set at the current level because of the elements cited by Garner.
Bennett indicated he would file a motion to pursue the matter further.
Regarding Jennifer Cheatham, 38, her attorney Dustin Gordon presented a third party willing to post her bail bond premium as a gift.
The prosecution had sought to ensure any bail money was legitimately obtained. After the presentation of the gift, Garner said the prosecution had no further objections.
Mosbarger granted Jennifer Cheatham's bail, but imposed the conditions that the defendant refrain from possessing marijuana, drug paraphernalia or stolen property.

A petition circulating throughout the UD-3 school district is imploring the Middlebury Union High School administration, board and teachers to "adopt a culture of excellence mandated at the highest administrative levels." The petition has been greeted with enthusiasm by the board and administration, though early responses suggest that restricted finances will hamper how much can be done to effect changes on test scores that petitioners say are too low.
Certainly, current test scores validate the need for change.
According to an addendum to the petition, student performance in the ACSU district drops significantly from elementary school to middle school to high school. (See story on Page 1A.) An example are the test scores in science: In 4th grade, 61 percent of ACSU students meet the standard on testing, compared to just 41 percent at grade 8 and 33 percent in grade 11. In writing tests, 65 percent of ACSU students in grade 5 scored "proficient" or "highly proficient." Test scores dropped to 57 percent in grade 8 and 46 percent for students in grade 11.
While the performance of ACSU high school students bested the state average, the drop in performance between elementary and high school is alarming and suggests a failure to achieve even the most modest of goals. Parents, teachers, administrators and students should note that another way of reading the statistics is by saying that 67 percent of juniors at MUHS fell below the standards of competency in science, while 54 percent of juniors at MUHS were not proficient in writing skills.
That's dreadful.
What's hopeful is that the board and administration are welcoming the petition as an opportunity to focus on academics, rather than other policy issues (like cutting sports teams, school discipline issues and other non-academic conundrums) that too often dominate the school's time and attention. "I'm delighted that parents are getting involved in academic excellence in their schools," said board chairman Tom Beyer. "We certainly greet them with great enthusiasm."
Nor is the petition accusatory. "There is no reason for the teachers to be defensive," said Michele Hernandez, one of the petitioners. "We don't want anyone to feel under attack. We are just saying we have to evaluate ourselves to make changes."
While the petition mirrors a growing concern in Vermont — and across the nation — that American students our falling behind because of an educational system that hasn't kept pace with the increased competition in a global economy, we worry the petition focuses too much on micro issues (low test scores and too few AP classes) and not enough on the macro issues the nation's educational system faces.
We understand the concern of parents is personal: they are worried their children will not be able to compete in tomorrow's job market and they want their school districts to provide the best education possible. But let's also look at some of the larger, underlying issues.
When comparing what we ask of American students to other developed countries' demands, for example, two noticeable differences are striking: the length of the school day and the length of the school year.
In Japan, for example, the school year is significantly longer (240 days per year), as is the school day (about eight hours.) In Germany, schools in year-around programs also attend up to 240 days a year with full eight-hour days, while students in Singapore attend year-round schools for 280 days per year. The average for European nations is 195 days of school with a longer day, while the average for East Asian countries is 208 days per year, also with a longer day.
On average, U.S. students attend school 6.5 hours a day for just 180 days a year. That's more than a 30 percent difference with Japan. Can anyone doubt that a student attending class 30 percent more in a given year (let alone over 12 years) has a better chance of learning more?
Teachers' unions wanting higher pay for longer hours and conservatives unwilling to spend more money on education, will argue that increased time in class doesn't necessarily translate to better test scores, but common sense suggests that's more of a political argument than a factual one. A more realistic argument centers on potential additional costs.
But before rejecting the idea as too radical, residents might contemplate obvious benefits: a longer school day allows for renewed interests in outdoor recess periods (morning and afternoon) where exercise and fitness are promoted (an obvious health benefit); a longer day allows parents to attend work with much less dependence (and cost) on child care and leaving older kids home alone (social service workers suggest a longer school day would solve a number of problems with teen-age students who are not now involved in extra-curricular activities — potentially preventing expenses in the criminal justice system); a longer school year also eliminates a chronic problem with America's school system — our long summer vacation is faulted for having to re-teach subjects to students each fall (vacations could be broken up into two or three shorter chunks of time as they do in other industrialized countries); nor are summer jobs for teens all that common in today's economy.
We applaud the efforts of the petitioners "to adopt a culture of excellence" at MUHS, and we laud the initial reaction by the school board and administrative officials. And while we encourage the dialogue that will be discussed at these initial meetings — around current test scores and how to improve them — we hope the scope of the discussion will be expanded to include ways to substantially renew this state's educational system. We need to focus on whether the school system allows our educators to adequately prepare students to compete in a global marketplace in a knowledge-based economy. Is it up to the task or is it falling short? And if it is falling short, are we willing to seek a sea change in scope and operations?

Clearwire Corp. is rallying 15% to $3.17 a share, above the proposed purchase level of $2.90 by Sprint Nextel , as Wall Street bets on a higher price for the telecommunications firm.
In a regulatory filing, Sprint Nextel confirmed plans to buy the roughly 49% of Clearwire it doesn\'t already own in a deal that values the company at about $2 billion.
Wells Fargo Securities analyst Jennifer Fritzsche said the remaining shareholders of Clearwire aren't likely to accept Sprint Nextel's $2.90 a share price, which values the company's spectrum at roughly 50% less than comparable purchase in the industry — including deals out of bankruptcy court.
The deal has already sparked two lawsuits by Clearwater shareholders over breach of fiduciary duty and "both companies take these seriously and understand the value of this spectrum," she said in a note to clients.
Looking ahead, "this likely will get somewhat messy and much news flow will come," Fritzsche said.
Adding a bit of optimism, she concluded: "We are encouraged we have a starting point."
In its own regulatory filing, Clearwire held out the possibility for a higher price.
The firm cited "ongoing negotiations" with counterparties, and added it continues to be in discussions with Sprint to explore a deal.
With Clearwire\'s share price holding about 9% above Sprint\'s offer, Wall Street seems to agree that richer offers will come.

12 Survival Tips for Night Shift Nurses
Nurses have to be flexible and work both day and night shifts when required. Since it's possible to choose a regular shift in the nursing profession, some people choose either the day or night shift to accommodate other activities in their lives. For example, a nurse attending additional courses during the day might find it easier to work nights.
Working in the night shift has several advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are differential pay, slower pace of work, simpler bureaucracy, more close knit relationships with other nurses, and a chance to learn more and be more self-reliant. Night nurses also have the advantage of not battling with daily traffic! The disadvantages are many as well, such as being invisible to daytime administrators and missing out on promotions. There's also the disadvantage of continuously fighting off sleep, which condition improves the longer you're on night shifts.
If you are a nighttime nurse, you will find the following tips useful:
1. Always eat a full meal before your meal. During the daytime, the health care facility's cafeteria might be well stocked but there's no telling if you'll find anything worth eating during the night. Carry a few snacks as well, to keep hunger at bay.
2. Get at least 8 hours sleep during the day. Granted the pace of work may be slower at night, but that doesn't mean you can sleep on the job. Your patients need the same diligent care during the night as they do during the day.

Shaun White and Kelly Clark win 2014 Mammoth Grand Prix #4 pipe
Part of the Five Stops To Sochi series presented by Mammoth
After Danny Davis's win at the morning Grand Prix pipe, the buzz among some in the industry/media corral was whether Danny could hand Shaun White another defeat like he did at the Mammoth Grand Prix four years ago. But when the fourth Grand Prix finals got underway that afternoon it didn't take long for that idea to be snuffed out. Danny came out looking strong on his first run with a huge switch method but cased the lip hard on a double crippler about halfway through his. He was slow to pick himself up and for a while it wasn't clear if he'd be able to even take his second run.
And then Shaun trotted out old faithful—the run with the method, the corked out frontside 540 stalefish, and the double McTwist 1260, which put him firmly in first place.
With one more chance to make a solid score Danny fell on his second run and Shaun drove the nail further into the coffin for the rest of the field with a run that included a Cab double cork 1440.
But the biggest shake up this afternoon came when Scotty Lago stepped up and got second place. Back in 2010 Lago came from behind at the last minute to pick up a spot on the US team and win a bronze medal at the Vancouver Olympics, and he's poised to make the team again if he can pull together another good run on Sunday.
"Well, I needed it to have a shot," Scotty said of his win today. "I'm really pumped, but I'm not that pumped because I've still got to get a first or second on Sunday, and with Shaun competing he obviously makes it way more challenging."
Taylor Gold came through with the same consistent riding he's displayed since the Dew Tour and picked up third.
By the time the contest was over Danny had lost the third place spot he had just claimed in US team standings thanks to his win in the morning and ended up in fourth, while Shaun moved into third. Taylor Gold stayed in the top spot after bumping Greg Bretz to second. Taylor, Greg, and Shaun are looking really good to make the team on Sunday, but it's that fourth place spot that could still go to a number of riders including Danny Davis, Scotty Lago, or Ben Ferguson.
Kelly Clark wins four Olympic qualifiers in a row
For the women the second pipe event was a case of déjà vu. Kelly Clark won again, followed by Chloe Kim and Hannah Teter after they all landed nearly identical runs to the earlier contest. Chloe Kim is too young to make these Olympics, but she's still earning points although the rider ranked behind her would be the one to officially make the team.
With a perfect winning streak for Kelly Clark she's guaranteed to make the US team and Arielle Gold is also in a good place but it will come down to Sunday to see who gets the third and fourth spots. Those spots are still within the reach of a few riders including Hannah, Gretchen Bleiler, Kaitlyn Farrington, Elena Hight.

Prison Reform
West Virginia's prisons and regional jails are overcrowded nearly to the crisis point. If state government does not do something about that, it is virtually certain a federal judge will take the initiative.
At some point, an inmate lawsuit will give the federal courts an opening to mandate action by the state. By the time that happens, there will be no choice but to release some inmates. It has happened in other states.
State senators on Thursday approved a bill requested by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to address prison overcrowding. Its focus is recidivism – that is, inmates who are released, then commit new offenses and go back to prison.
Tomblin's bill has a variety of provisions. Among them are better "risk assessment" of inmates and improved supervision of them after they serve their prison terms. More substance abuse treatment also is included.
That could put a real dent in recidivism, reducing it by as much as 80 percent. Similar programs in other states have had gratifying results.
Implementation of the program will not be cheap: The bill provides $25 million for better supervision of ex-convicts as well as more drug abuse treatment. In comparison to the cost of building a new prison, as much as $250 million, that sounds like a bargain, however.
Reportedly, a few members of the House of Delegates, which now must act on the bill, worry it may coddle some criminals. But that may be just the opposite of what it does: By providing better supervision, it could give hardcore offenders less opportunity to return to lives of crime.
State senators, many of whom certainly don't have records suggesting they are soft on crime, approved the bill unanimously.
As experience is gained with what works and what does not, some fine-tuning of the anti-recidivism initiative may be necessary. But for now, the governor's bill should be enacted. West Virginia simply must do something about prison overcrowding, and Tomblin's package seems like a good option.
Members of the House of Delegates should follow the Senate's lead and approve the bill.

Veggie growers pray for rain
Staff writer
Though they are only 11 and 9, sisters Aubrey and Kalea Craig of Florence are no strangers to the Marion County Fair. Each has competed in different events in years past.
"I mainly compete in quilting," Aubrey said.
"I do all the horse showmanship events," Kalea said.
However, this is the first year both girls will compete in the vegetable category.
"We have a big garden," Aubrey said.
"It is half the size of this building," Kalea said.
"It is 150 by 50 feet," their mother, Natasha Craig, said.
Audrey and Kalea have helped their mother in the garden before, but this year they were responsible for their own produce.
"It is a lot of work," Aubrey said. "We had to plant the seeds and pull weeds."
"We water them too, except for when it rains," Kalea said.
Both get excited when it rains because it sometimes means that they have fewer chores.

When I married a woman who is an incredible cook and loves to bake, I knew I had hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, what I didn't realize is that also meant I was now obligated to watch hours of programming on the Food Network. In the last five years I've seen so much Paula Deen my arteries are clogged just from watching, and I've learned that you can make literally anything into a food competition with ingredients I've never even heard of (what exactly is "jaggery" anyway?).
Well, if you're a foodie like my wife who loves watching the Food Network then you might interested in their new app, Food Network On the Road. The question now is does it live up to the promise of helping you find all the places where the stars eat when you're on the road? Read on to find out. (more…)
