ETSU hopes to snap a season-long four-game losing skid
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 18, 2013) – After falling to the top three teams in the Atlantic Sun Conference in their last three contests, the Lady Bucs aim to right the ship against a team that they defeated earlier this season when they host the Kennesaw State Owls inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center on Monday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m.
February has proven to be a very challenging time for the ETSU Lady Bucs (6-15, 4-10) who currently hold a dismal 1-4 record in the month. Following setbacks against three teams who are competing for the conference crown, the Blue and Gold face a Kennesaw State Owls (7-18, 3-10) team who sits below them in the league standings and was bested by the Lady Bucs earlier this season. Once again, a key component in the contest will be the health of the team's leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.), who was held out of the recent contest against Mercer due to lingering issues with a previous knee injury. Mitchell's status remains day-to-day. With or without Mitchell, ETSU must find a way to put the ball in the basket after shooting a poor 19 percent in the second half against Mercer, which included only six made field goals the entire period.
The matchup between the Lady Bucs and the Owls will be the 15th all-time meeting between the two schools, a series in which ETSU dominates with a 13-1 overall series advantage. ETSU and KSU met earlier this season in Kennesaw, Ga. where the Lady Bucs topped the Owls, 61-59. In this recent contest, the Blue and Gold stormed back from a 13-point second half deficit to steal a two-digit victory on KSU's home floor.

The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Lady Buccaneers, but Lady Bucs is also acceptable.
ETSU (6-15, 4-10) aimed to avoid their longest losing streak of the season when they welcomed the Mercer Bears to the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center. Early cold shooting forced the Lady Bucs to fall behind by as many as five points with 12 minutes remaining in the first half. ETSU responded with a 11-5 run over the next five minutes to take a one point lead and even increased its advantage to as many as five points with three minutes remaining. This resurgence allowed the Lady Bucs to go into halftime with a 34-33 advantage. In the second period, ETSU's shooting went dead cold from the field while MU used a 19-5 run to take a 52-39 lead with 10 minutes remaining. Over the next half of the period, the Bears maintained a sizeable lead en route to a 67-58 loss for the Blue and Gold. ETSU featured three players who scored in double-figures including Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) with a team-high 12 points, Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) with 11 points and Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.) with 10 points.
Monday's contest in the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center will be the 15th all-time meeting between the two teams. The Lady Bucs and the Owls met earlier this season, on Jan. 19, when ETSU topped KSU, 61-59. In this recent matchup, ETSU started strong with an 8-2 run over the first three minutes of the game. The Lady Bucs even increased their lead to as many as nine points with 14:02 left in the period. KSU responded and flipped the script with a run of its own to take the lead at the midway point of the half. The teams traded baskets throughout and the Owls took a 36-32 advantage into the break. The Blue and Gold suffered a poor start to the second stanza by scoring only six points in the opening 10 minutes of the period, while KSU was able to increase its lead to as many as 13 points during this ETSU cold streak. The Lady Bucs finally got it going with seven minutes remaining and went on a 19-8 burst to take the lead back with 2:19 left. Late free throws allowed the Blue and Gold to hang on for a 61-59 victory. Destiny Mitchell posted a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) also added 18 points. Maria Bond (Macon, Ga.) contributed 10 points and nine rebounds as well.
After being inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season against North Florida on Jan. 26, sophomore guard Cara Bowling has successfully responded to the promotion. Following scoring 14 points in her first game as a starter this season, Bowling has kept the momentum going with strong offensive performances since. In the Elizabethton, Tenn. native's last five games, she is averaging 12.4 points per game, including a season-high tying 15 points vs. Northern Kentucky on Feb. 4. The sharpshooter has also fired at a 42 percent clip from behind the arc in these contests.
The Lady Bucs have recently discovered the most offensive production through points in the paint. ETSU is currently averaging 30 points in the paint per game, including an average of 32 points in its past five. In the win against Jacksonville, the Blue and Gold recorded 50 points in the paint, the most since scoring 50 as well on Jan. 31, 2011 in a 100-62 victory against Mercer in Johnson City.
The Blue and Gold have outrebounded the opposition in 16 of the 21 games this season and enter Saturday's game with a plus-6.9 rebounding margin (43.5-36.7), ranking first in the A-Sun … in a loss at FGCU, the Lady Bucs outrebounded the Eagles by 20, 53-33 … the Lady Bucs' plus-6.9 rebound margin currently ranks in the top 30 nationally. ETSU also outrebounds its A-Sun opponents at a plus-8.5 clip.
The emergence of redshirt-sophomore Tiana Burley has provided a badly-needed inside presence for the Lady Bucs. In the transfer's first action as a Lady Buc due to NCAA regulations, the forward came off the bench and posted a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to Appalachian State. This performance awarded Burley A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors on Dec. 26. Burley also came up huge off the bench in the win against Jacksonville (1/28) when she posted season-highs of 22 points and four blocks as well as 11 rebounds in only 20 minutes of play. On Feb. 4, the sophomore forward was awarded Atlantic Sun Women's Basketball Player of the Week by College Sports Madness. After being inserted into the starting lineup against Northern Kentucky due to injuries amongst the team, Burley dominated from the start and scored 16 points before the midway point of the first half. In total, the sophomore forward scored 20 points and ripped down 11 rebounds. The Camilla, Ga. native followed this performance with another double-double against Stetson with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Burley is currently averaging 8.5 points and 5.1 rebounds for ETSU.
After being inserted into the starting lineup at the beginning of conference play, Shawn Randall has answered the call and has been stellar in league play. In her first start of the season at USC Upstate, Randall tallied 16 points and was 4-of-6 from behind the arc. The junior guard followed this performance with strong showings at Lipscomb (13 points, 4 rebounds), at Northern Kentucky (9 points) and at Kennesaw State (18 points). Randall is currently averaging 8.2 points per game in Atlantic Sun action.
In addition to running the team as a true freshman point guard, Brianna McQueen has shown no fear at the free throw stripe with the game on the line. At Lipscomb and at Kennesaw State, McQueen stepped the line and buried clutch free throws down the stretch to seal the game in the Lady Bucs' favor. McQueen currently is ninth in the A-Sun in free throw shooting at 73.8 percent.
Currently the Lady Bucs are averaging 5.2 blocks per contest, good for tops in the Atlantic Sun. ETSU swatted a season-high nine shots in a loss at Stetson on Feb. 9. The Blue and Gold are led by Tosha Austin's (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1.1 blocks per game which ranks in the top five individually in the league. Austin also currently ranks tied for 15th all-time in blocked shots in Atlantic Sun history with 122 rejections.
Destiny Mitchell has scored in double figures in ten out of the eighteen games she has played in this season and is averaging 11.8 points per contest … Mitchell scored a season-high 26 points in the opener at High Point back on Nov. 10 and added 14 points and 16 rebounds in the 10-point win vs. Memphis to close out the month of November ... Mitchell is currently eighth in the A-Sun in scoring (11.8), second in rebounding (8.6), fourth in steals (2.3) and fifth in field goal percentage (48.9).
Mitchell is well on her way to become the 21st Lady Buc to join the 1,000-point club ... She is on pace to break the 1,000-point mark near the end of February as she registered 347 points as a freshman and 367 points as a sophomore for 714 total points... through ETSU's first 20 games of the 2012-13 season she has scored 212 to move her career total to 926 … if Mitchell scores in similar fashion in the next two years as she did as a rookie and as a sophomore, she will put herself in the top-10 in Lady Buc history.
After a solid start to the season for the now eligible transfer, Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) has really turned it on when it comes to Atlantic Sun action. Through the first 14 games of league play, Clark is averaging 8.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, including back-to-back double-doubles at Lipscomb and at Northern Kentucky with 10 points & 14 rebounds and 16 points, 10 rebounds & seven steals, respectively.
The Lady Bucs have been a tough team to beat when it comes to the second half of the season (games played from January-March) … since January of 2008, ETSU is 80-39 (.672) in the months of January through March, including a program-best 19-3 mark in 2009-10.
Through the early portion of the season, ETSU has gotten strong contributions from its bench. On the season ETSU averages 25 bench points per game, including a season-high 44 points off the bench against Memphis. Key reserves Maria Bond (6.0 ppg) and Brianna McQueen (9.3 ppg) have been vital for the Lady Bucs.
The Lady Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Lady Buccaneers have averaged 15 conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 103-43 (.705) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Lady Bucs have also won 83 of their last 116 games against conference foes (includes the 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 A-Sun Tournaments).
Since the 2002-03 season the Lady Bucs are 106-18 when the they hit the 75-point plateau, including 76-14 since the 2006-07 season... recently, ETSU put up 86 to defeat Lipscomb by 22 and earn the 106th such victory.

Nara Logics Inc., a company that solves the problem of Web search by crafting a more personalized Web, today announced an additional $3 million in funding bringing its total funding this year to $7 million. Account Management, LLC (AMC), a 50-year-old investment advisor in Boston, led this recent round as well as the company's initial round of funding. The company is using the new funds to extend the Nara platform for both Web and Mobile and to continue hiring stellar talent. Nara also added several new features to its recently launched Nara Mobile app, available for free at App Store, Google Play and Nara Web available at nara.me.
"We feel fortunate to participate in the coming together of artificial intelligence and neural networks as the next generation of Internet search engines," said Peter de Roetth, co-founder of AMC. "Nara Logics has opened new vistas that will put Big Data at the beck and call of consumers and businesses, as we now begin to transform searching into finding."
Research shows that the average American will spend nearly two decades of their waking life tangled in the World Wide Web. And this problem is only growing.
"Nara's vision is to build a more personal, actionable and liberating Web to achieve a life well found," said Thomas Copeman, chief executive officer and founder of Nara. "We really appreciate that our investors are confident in our vision and accomplishments. This additional funding will accelerate our North American footprint, allow us to grow into new markets, and extend into other consumer categories. We will also use these funds to further develop and scale the Nara Neural Network."
Nara Funding and Momentum
Peter de Roetth and other investors have contributed an additional $3 million, growing Nara's total funding amount in 2012 to $7 million. Nara is a collective of neuroscientists from MIT, artists, computer scientists, astrophysicists, business leaders and tech industry veterans. In the past year, Nara nearly tripled the number of its employees.
Nara's innovative technology platform currently analyzes over 250,000 restaurants, coffee shops, bars and cafes in 25 top cities in the U.S. and Canada. The Nara Neural Network is comprised of many millions of connections among these venues. With its brain-like algorithm, Nara is able to simplify this complex map into personalized recommendations.
On November 13, 2012, Nara announced its new, free Nara Mobile app for iPhone and Android that minimizes time searching and helps people discover new dining experiences that are tailored to their tastes. Through active use of the platform, Nara's app learns a person's restaurant preferences to create their unique Digital DNATM and suggests other restaurants tailored to their tastes. In addition, Nara expanded its personalized Web platform from eight to 25 cities across the U.S. and Canada from New York City to San Francisco to Toronto.
In the last month, Nara's site traffic has nearly doubled, while recent page views are growing at an even higher rate. Since launching just one month ago, Nara Mobile continues to see a strong increase in downloads and user activity.
The Nara Neural Network Expands and Adds New Features to Mobile App and Web
"We have discovered a new pattern for how information can be automatically organized and personalized for people across the Internet," said Dr. Nathan Wilson, chief technology officer of Nara. "We are now deploying massively parallel neural networks into the cloud to do this at Web scale and bring order to a growing number of categories. It is exciting to watch the pace of this process quickening and we are expanding way beyond restaurants as we encounter new categories and weave connections across websites. We see a bright future in the automated personalization of the entire Internet."
Launching first on Nara Web, the new "Why?" button explains why Nara's Neural Network has made a particular restaurant recommendation based on a user's unique Digital DNA. Nara users have been curious about the science behind the platform, so "Why?" offers people more context.
In addition, Nara added these three new features to both Nara Mobile and Web including:
1. Ability to see restaurant menus on the Merchant Page
2. Integrated Foursquare tips on the Merchant Page
3. New optimized viewing for iPhone 5 users
About Nara
Founded in 2010, Nara Logics Inc. solves the problem of Web searching through a next-generation personal Internet platform that automates, personalizes, and curates the Web for people. Based in Cambridge, Mass., Nara's mission is to build a more personal, actionable and liberating Web to achieve a life well found. Founded by Thomas Copeman, Nara has raised $7 million to date led by Peter de Roetth of Account Management, LLC.

Second Reply from Fla Sen. Nelson
Dear Mr. Nelson,
Thank you for response. While I agree that the tragedy in Newtown was horrendous I do not think a ban would resolve the issues leading up to and including this tragedy. Therefore I regret to inform you that I will NOT be voting for you in your next re-election bid as I have done in the past. It is clear to me that you are not in step with what the Second Amendment was intended to be. I will work tirelessly to do whatever I can to make sure you are not re-elected for another term when the time comes. You are not a friend of the Constitution therefore not a friend to me.
Got this as a reply from Nelson. Could somebody help me with what is trying to say. I don't know if he means that we should not have military type weapons or not.
Please let me know what your thoughts are on this reply.
Thank you for contacting me about protecting Second Amendment rights.
I grew up on a ranch in the Florida countryside and have been a hunter since I was a boy. I support a person's constitutional right to bear arms.
In 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed that the Second Amendment protects a person's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to military service, and to use that firearm for traditional lawful purposes like self-defense within the home. This is the law of the land.
I appreciate hearing your views on this subject. Hearing from you helps me to better serve you in the Senate.

Typical dodge on the issues. I'm a hunter is the defensive mantra. So assault rifle and mag bans are ok?
Yes, you can defend your house with a six shot revolver and a double barreled shotgun pretty well from the modal burglar.
There's more to it and his answer allows the bans of the evil guns.

Sounds to me like he did not put much thought into that reply.
Made little to no sense and what the heck does "traditional lawful purposes like self-defense within the home." mean?

Dear {Wyoredman}:
I believe we need to keep guns out of the hands of bad people, but there has to be that balance between protecting our citizens and our constitutional rights. We must define the problem before we propose an answer. People owning guns and shooting guns is not the problem. The problem is violence and its cause. We need to continue to seek solutions, but we shouldn't let fear drive us down the road of giving up more and more of our most important and basic freedoms.
While President Obama cannot pass a bill without Congress, I have serious concerns about the executive orders issued and will continue to address this Administration's disregard for the principles upon which our government was founded. If the President is serious about addressing gun violence his suggested actions need to be drafted into legislative language, considered in committee and debated on the floor with amendments. This is a matter that concerns Constitutional rights so I'm concerned about proposals which could circumvent the legislative process.
I have one of the best voting records protecting our Second Amendment rights. I believe we need to find out which of the current gun laws are working to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, and then make sure that those laws are enforced. While specific legislation has not been introduced, I will keep your thoughts and concerns in mind.

This is the reply I received from one of my Senators today. I hope most other Senators have a like mind, but I feel that may not be the case.

It's quite possible no one read your email, and this is a standard response.
Or someone may have skimmed your email and determined it was either pro or anti ban and sent one of two pre-drafted responses.
At most, they are keeping score.

2. I remember my roots, and I touch guns sometimes. Also, I've read the Bill of Rights at least once, enough to parrot it.
3. I can't be honest about what I want to do because the Supreme Court has said that I'm wrong.
4. Messages from people like you let me pretend to be paying attention to my constituents, but really, unless you donate to my campaign, I don't care what you think.

My reply to his reply
Dear Sen. Nelson,
I received your reply to my question on your stance on the gun control/weapons ban. After reading your reply I am still unsure what your stance really is. The poll you conducted on your website is overwhelming opposed to a ban of any kind.
Yes (9151 votes)
No (71064 votes)
No Opinion (152 votes)
Please clarify for me are you going to vote with your constitutes wishes or not.

Spell check is a dangerous master. Spelling assistants are even worse.
While "constitutes" is a word and is spelled right, you probably meant to use use "constituents".
The anti-gun, self proclaimed elite looks at us as bunch of crazy, undeducated morons. Let's proof read our writing before hitting the send button.
No personal offense intended here. I screw spelling and grammar up all the time. I just try harder when writing to politicians and such.

This is another one where, if the lie is repeated often enough, it becomes accepted as truth. That's what they are telling the fence-sitters out there, and if we don't refute the lie each and every time it is uttered, the vast numbers of the undecided will very soon accept that view as the truth, and we'll have a VERY difficult time then changing their opinion.

Is there also a development of icon production in Roman Catholic communities
or are they relying on Orthodox sources
or was the tradition maintained in Eastern Catholic communities?
Yes, and for some time, Peter, far pre-dating today's fad, though it was never mainstream. This real interest in and love of icons goes all the way back to the legitimate liturgical movement (revival, yes, renewal) in the 1920s (along with interest in Gregorian chant), when the dual Roman-Byzantine Rite Benedictine monastery was started in Amay (now in Chevetogne), Belgium, and a few other RC monks and nuns probably learnt Orthodox iconography as well.
Quoteor was the tradition maintained in Eastern Catholic communities?AFAIK not really, except perhaps among Melkites in the Middle East (right, Samer?) who of all the substantial Byzantine Catholic churches kept most of their heritage. The Slav(on)ic ones mostly disobeyed Rome (you read that right) by self-latinizing, losing such traditions.

August 25, 2008 – WASHINGTON – Beginning this September, the Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of Sciences is offering an array of public programs designed to engage curious minds of all ages in a variety of activities. A schedule of public events follows.
Arts on Foot with the Koshland
Saturday, September 13, 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Cost: Free
Continuing an annual tradition, the Koshland Museum will participate in Arts on Foot, a daylong neighborhood festival in the hip Penn Quarter district that incorporates visual art, music, theater, dance, film, and creative cuisine. Stop by our booth and participate in activities exploring DNA and microbes. For more information about Arts on Foot, visit www.artsonfoot.org.
Antibiotics: Is a strong offense the best defense?
Thursday, September 18, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Cost: $8, $5 for students
Public health officials have long sounded the alarm that the overuse of antibiotics could create resistant germs which are almost impossible to treat with existing medications. Now, those concerns are becoming a reality; according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more people in the United States die from the antibiotic-resistant, mostly hospital-acquired staph infection MRSA than from AIDS. Join renowned antibiotics expert Stuart Levy, director of the Center for Adaptation Genetics and Drug Resistance at Tufts University, and Linda Tollefson, assistant commissioner for science at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as they debate the best ways to optimize antibiotic use and minimize the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens.
Free Family Weekend: The Green Hunt and the SSP Middle School Challenge
Saturday, October 18, 10 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Sunday, October 19, 1 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Cost: Free
Exploration and innovation are on the agenda for this weekend of family-friendly activities. On Saturday, discover science in the city by taking part in the Green Hunt, the Koshland Museum's science-inspired scavenger hunt. Individuals or teams can search for clues in the Penn Quarter neighborhood that focus on ecosystems, climate change, minerals, and more. The Green Hunt is being held in conjunction with the American Geophysical Institute's international Earth Sciences Week celebration and its No Child Left Indoors campaign. And on Sunday, come back to view the innovative science projects created by 30 middle school students around the country who are finalists in Science for Society & the Public's Middle School Program 2008. This highly acclaimed program's past projects have included studies of alternative fuels and stream runoff. Students will be on hand to answer questions about their projects.
Admission for both days is free; please note that the museum will open at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Celebrating Innovation
Wednesday, November 19, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Cost: Free
Can you create something of value from ordinary objects such as paper clips or Post-it notes in just 30 minutes? Test your skills for on-the-spot innovation by participating in a mini-challenge modeled after Stanford University's Global Innovation Challenge, a weeklong competition for teams of students from around the world. In addition, view the entry of the team sponsored by the Koshland Science Museum and the Singapore Science Centre. The activities are part of Global Entrepreneurship Week -- a week of activities planned in 56 countries to promote the spirit of entrepreneurship among young people.
The Marian Koshland Science Museum engages the general public in an exploration of the current scientific issues that affect their lives. The museum's state-of-the-art exhibits, public events, and educational programs provide information that stimulates discussion and provides insight into how science supports decision-making. Located at 6th and E streets, N.W., the museum is easily accessible by metro at the Gallery Place/Chinatown and Judiciary Square stops.

I was going to ride to work the whole way this morning. And why wouldn't I? Could someone tell me what's wrong with this weather?
Temperature: 60.6°F / 15.9°C
Humidity: 85%
Pressure: 29.63in / 1003.3hPa
Conditions: Overcast
Wind Direction: South
Wind Speed: 5.0mph / 8.0km/h
The answer is not "It's January! 60 Degrees in Kansas?!" No, it can stay 60 degrees as long as it wants to!
What's wrong is something that it isn't telling: at some point overnight, the dew point was higher than the ambient temperature, causing the pavement to sweat. And I'm not talking a little sweat. I'm talking a thick layer of condensation mixed with salty, sandy dirt, forming a perfectly even layer of milkshake grime on the road.
So, it was another bus morning. I'm all geared up for a ride home if it dries out, but it doesn't look like it will.

Rackmount appliance targets enterprise applications
Advantech, in close collaboration with Cavium Networks, announced the commercial availability of the Packetarium NCP-3120 1U rackmount appliance featuring the 6-core Octeon II CN6335 from Cavium. The design of a ruggedized variant, the NCP-3105 has also been announced and targets more specifically core and wireless network elements such as Radio Network Controllers and eNodeB/Basestations.
Advantech's network processor system design reportedly brings OEM-ready platforms for mainstream, high-volume enterprise routing, unified threat management (UTM) appliances, enterprise and service provider gateways. The Packetarium NCP-3120 based on the 6-core Cavium Octeon II CN6335, brings enhanced scalability to customers deploying the Packetarium range, according to Advantech. Network Processor Boards used in number in the high-end Packetarium systems integrate seamlessly into the 1U platforms to facilitate software re-use and allow OEM's to market entry level variants for cost-sensitive higher volume deployment. The system is designed with flexibility in mind and offers a range of replaceable front I/O cards for GbE and 10 GbE connectivity as well as a standard PCIe x8 card expansion slot. With the accelerated packet, security, deep packet inspection (DPI) processing and wireless capabilities of the Octeon II, the NCP-3120 allegedly meets a wide range of UTM connectivity and bandwidth requirements. It also supports up to eight 2.5" SATA-2 Solid State Disks for data caching or database applications.
The Packetarium NCP-3105 integrates the CN6335-AAP Application Acceleration Processor version into a 1U rackmount form factor providing multi-port gigabit Ethernet packet processing for Radio Access Network elements. The new NCP-3105 system targets core network elements with support for redundant -48 Vdc input, extended temperature range and an overall design made for deployment in NEBS Level 3 environments. Further ruggedization options are available with -20 to 60°C extended temperature versions catering for remote radio access network elements. With a reduced depth of 10 in. the NCP-3105 supports mounting in 300 mm shallow telecom racks or back-to-back mounting in standard 600 mm racks for optimum use of space. Ethernet connections are made via four RJ-45 GbE ports with metallic bypass as default. Four SFP GbE ports are activitated when connected.
The system reportedly makes full use of industry-leading network acceleration functions within the Octeon II and provides optional IEEE 1588v2 support to enable time and clock synchronization over Ethernet of network elements in the all-IP RAN or Evolved Packet Core such as eNodeBs or Radio Network Controllers.

The Threat Of A UN Internet Takeover Is Only 'Vague' Because The UN Shares No Details
from the backroom-deals-are-a-problem dept
But what this really highlights is the true problem here, which is that whatever happens here is happening behind the scenes, in backrooms, without public scrutiny. And, if we're talking about regulating the internet that the public uses so much, that seems like a pretty big problem. Just as we've seen with ACTA, TPP, SOPA and lots of other things, a big part of the problem is the near total lack of transparency in what's being discussed around these ideas.
In an attempt to deal with this, Jerry Brito and Eli Dourado have hacked together and launched a new site to collect, host and distribute leaked information about the ITU's plans. With perfect timing, the first documents from the ITU, including some proposed language for International Telecommunications Regulations have leaked. Taking a quick skim, there doesn't appear to be that much of interest in the initial document leak (I reserve the right to change my opinion once I've had more time to read through it in detail...), but it's an important starting point. These documents and details need to be public and need to be discussed in public, rather than allowing internet governance be determined in a series of backroom deals.

10 Reasons CIOs Need the iPhone 5
CIOs likely aren't the first customers Apple was thinking about when it was developing the iPhone 5. After all, corporate IT decision-makers tend to be loath to make the leap to Apple products. And in far too many cases, a battle erupts between Apple's policies and what the average company is looking for in a product. It's an issue that can't be easily escaped. And it's something that every CIO must contend with before deciding whether the iPhone really is right for his or her company. On Sept. 12, Apple announced the iPhone 5. That device, perhaps unlike some of those that came before it, is a much easier purchase for CIOs to make. From its outstanding new processor to the addition of 4G LTE, it's hard not to get excited by what the iPhone 5 offers. The handset has once again established itself as the go-to option for companies seeking mobile products. And aside from the BlackBerry, which still persists in the enterprise to some extent, it appears Apple's latest handset will be the device all CIOs will want when it launches on Sept. 21. Here CIO Insight shares more about the iPhone 5, and why the handset really is the device that CIOs need.
1. The A6 Is Important
Apple's A6 processor is a significant improvement on the A5 available in the iPhone 4S and the A5X in the new iPad. The component offers twice the processing and graphical power of its predecessor. Plus, it'll perform more effectively.

This is a place that breeds talent, and it's the home of legends like Stevie, Janis and Buddy. Every night, you'll find the same passion alive and kicking in every dancehall, nightclub, festival and lounge across the state. There's something for every music lover here, from techno to Tejano and every style in between. Texas has long been a place for pioneers and trailblazers. Today, you'll simply find them on stage.
Texas can boast that it's home to many of the world's largest, most modern music arenas. And plenty of the universe's coolest holes-in-the-wall, too. Entire streets and neighborhoods hum with the electric buzz of amplifiers, hundreds of boots thumping on hardwood in unison and soulful voices ringing through the rafters. Some are gorgeous, refined and acoustically perfect, while others have tiny plywood stages and a mechanical bull on the dance floor. Big or small, there are more venues here, attracting longtime and future greats, which music lovers simply cannot miss.Music Museums
We're quite proud of the talent that's emerged from Texas, and museums celebrating our collective musical heritage abound. While everybody knows you'll find tributes to legends like Willie Nelson, Janis Joplin and Stevie Ray Vaughn, there are also fascinating museums honoring performers like Lefty Frizzell, Bob Wills, Tex Ritter and contemporary Latina singer Selena. Of course, you may even want to drop in on the museum dedicated to the late, great eight-track tape just for fun!Launching Pad
Once upon a time in Texas, a college sophomore hopped up on stage and began singing with her favorite band, the New Bohemians. Soon they were known as Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians and were a huge hit nationally. And that's the free-wheeling spirit of the Texas musical scene. So give it a shot at thousands of open mic nights, show off your pipes at a karaoke bar or just see what kind of spontaneous combinations spark at an open-minded music fest like South by Southwest in Austin. Hey, you never know.

Audio Visionary Ray Dolby Dies at 80
Audio recording visionary Ray Dolby has passed away from leukemia at the age of 80. Dolby, who co-invented video tape recording and founded Dolby Laboratories, leaves behind one of the most important legacies in audio history.
Comparable to the contributions of the legendary Les Paul, the inventions and business endeavors of Ray Dolby are of the highest tier. Dolby held over 50 U.S. patents and earned two Academy Awards, a Grammy Award, a boatload of Emmys, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, various honorary doctorates and was even named an Honorary Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE).
Ray Dolby's greatest contribution to the world of music was perhaps the Dolby noise-reduction system. 'Dolby A,' which was made available in 1966, was the world's first professional broadband noise reduction system for recording studios, but better known is the Dolby B system, which was introduced in 1968. Dolby is also credited for enhancing the immersive movie theater experience with his sound technology, which greatly affected the quality of films such as 'A Clockwork Orange' and 'Star Wars.' At the time of his death, Dolby was estimated to be worth $2.4 billion.
Unfortunately, health issues plagued Ray Dolby during his final years, suffering from Alzheimer's disease along with leukemia, the latter of which he was diagnosed with this Summer.
Dolby Laboratories created a heartfelt video tribute to Ray, which can be seen below. Thank you for all your great work, Mr. Dolby. Rest in Peace.

ESPN And Univision Say Screw Fair Use: Your 6 Second Vine Videos Of World Cup Goals Must Be Taken Down
from the permission-society dept
The latest, according to the Wall Street Journal, is that ESPN and Univision are rushing around taking down Vine clips of World Cup goals, even to the point that some major media properties have had their Vine accounts killed for being accused of infringement too often:
Since the start of the tournament Vox Media-owned sports site SB Nation, one of the chief purveyors of quick World Cup content, has had two accounts suspended on Vine, according to its managing editor Brian Floyd.Considering that fair use rules are explicitly designed for news reporting, it seems rather clear that these are fair use. It's unclear from the report if SB Nation has appealed the takedown notices or not, but it's rather unfortunate that Twitter just killed those accounts without bothering to recognize that they're clearly being used for fair use reporting on the World Cup.
SB Nation received suspension notices from Twitter, Mr. Floyd said, after a complaint from media-protection company Irdeto, which works on behalf of Univision.
"They don't seem to mind people Vine-ing funny stuff like fans," explained Clay Wendler, who quickly crafts Vines for SB Nation. But when it comes to goals — breathtaking moments of glory seemingly tailor-made for the six-second looping video format — rights-holders are more stringent, Mr. Wendler said.
Similarly, the article points to a recent Slate post which for a little while had a video showing all 136 goals scored in the group stage of the World Cup, spliced together in quick clips, but that video has since been removed after ESPN contacted Slate to claim it was infringement. Once again, this seems like a fairly clear cut case of fair use, using news reporting in a transformative manner which isn't going to impact the market for the original. But, of course, ESPN is owned by Disney, and Disney doesn't exactly have the best of reputations when it comes to understanding fair use in others (even if it's been getting better on that front lately).
It's really too bad that it appears that Slate and Vox/SB Nation appear to have more or less given in to these takedown requests rather than standing up for fair use.

As West Virginia mourned the 29 coal miners killed in an explosion on April 5 at the Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, Bishop Michael J. Bransfield of Wheeling-Charleston said the safety of the state's miners must be a priority. "We offer this Mass for the 29 miners who lost their lives this past week," Bishop Bransfield said at the beginning of the Mass at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Wheeling on April 11. "We pray today for them and for their families."
Bishop Bransfield added that it was his hope that the protection miners need will be provided to them in the future. "Our country should realize that West Virginia pays too high a price when we turn on our electricity," the bishop said in his homily. "As one of the greatest suppliers of electricity in our country, we must reflect on what producing this energy truly costs."
Bishop Bransfield noted that it has been only four years since the Sago mine disaster in Upshur County claimed the lives of 13 miners. Now, he said, the state has suffered yet another mine disaster with great loss of life. "We must know the difference between what happens by accident and what can be prevented by good safeguards and adequate technologies," Bishop Bransfield said. "In the 21st century, there should be a greater span between accidents than just four years.
"It is impossible not to ask what can be done to protect the lives of miners," Bishop Bransfield said. "Can those entrusted with the protection of miners be trusted to fulfill the jobs and enforce the laws? Is our technology in the U.S. mines in 2010 equal to the technology that is easily available in other industries?
"If West Virginia can supply our country with so much energy, can we expect the protection of the life of our miners to take the same priority as the protection of the ecology of West Virginia?" he asked.
The U.S. Mine and Safety Administration was investigating whether the company that owns the mine, Massey Energy, had done all it could to safeguard the miners. The company had ramped up production at the mine as demand rose for the type of coal found there, but Massey officials said increased production had not led to shortcuts in safety for its workers.
In the wake of so great a loss, Bishop Bransfield said, alluding to the Gospel of the Second Sunday of Easter, some people are filled with fear, some struggle with doubts, some may be angry or hurt—the same emotions felt by the apostles in the upper room. "The presence of the risen Christ made a difference in the lives of all in that upper room," Bishop Bransfield said. "We need our faith in the resurrected Christ as we pray for these 29 miners and their families. We also need to keep the safety of our miners as a priority for government."
Many issues will be on the agenda and on the minds of government leaders this summer, Bishop Bransfield said, including filling a seat on the Supreme Court. "We hope the safety of our miners in West Virginia," he said, "will not fall to the back page."
On April 12 President Obama issued a proclamation ordering that the U.S. flag be flown at half-staff at all federal buildings and properties and at military facilities and naval stations in West Virginia until sunset of April 18. He called it "a mark of respect for the memory of those who perished in the mine explosion."

New York, N.Y. -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has finalized its plan to clean up contaminated ground water beneath the White Chemical Corporation Superfund site in Newark, New Jersey. The ground water was contaminated with volatile organic compounds by past industrial activities at the site. Volatile organic compounds can cause serious damage to people's health and the environment. The cleanup plan requires the injection of chemicals into the ground water that will break down the contamination. The ground water will be monitored and its use will be restricted. The EPA held a public meeting in Newark on August 2, 2012 to explain its proposed plan. The EPA took public comment for 60 days and considered public input before finalizing the plan.
The final phase of the cleanup addresses the contaminated ground water. After extensive study, the EPA has concluded that it is not technically feasible to pump out and treat the contaminated ground water because of the complex rock formations underlying the site. The depth, nature and variety of the rock formations would present extreme technical challenges.
Instead, the plan requires bioremediation, the injection of chemicals into the ground water to promote the breakdown of the pollutants. The specific process to be used to inject the chemical additive will be determined by the EPA as part of the design of the cleanup. Once the process has begun, the EPA will collect samples to confirm that bioremediation of the ground water is effective. The EPA is proposing to install additional monitoring wells to monitor the ground water and to put into place restrictions that will prevent its use as a source of drinking water in the future. The EPA is requiring periodic collection and analysis of ground water samples to verify that the level and extent of contaminants are declining and that people's health and the environment are protected.
The White Chemical Corporation site, which covers 4.4 acres, is located at 660 Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark, and is surrounded by many residential, commercial and industrial properties. Beginning in the 1930s, portions of the site were used by multiple businesses for industrial activities including the manufacture of acid chlorides and fire retardants. The White Chemical Corporation operated a chemical manufacturing facility at the site from 1983 to 1990 and was cited by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for multiple environmental violations before the company abandoned the facility. Thousands of drums were left behind, with many of them leaking hazardous chemicals. The site was added to the federal Superfund list of the country's most hazardous waste sites in 1991. For a history of the cleanup, visit: http://www.epa.gov/region02/superfund/npl/whitechem/.
The Superfund program operates on the principle that polluters should pay for the cleanups, rather than passing the costs to taxpayers. After sites are placed on the Superfund list of the most contaminated waste sites, the EPA searches for parties responsible for the contamination and holds them accountable for the costs of investigations and cleanups. To date, the EPA has spent about $20 million on the cleanup of the White Chemical site. The estimated cost of the final phase of the cleanup is $25 million. The EPA sought and recovered some of its costs from the parties responsible for the contamination.

SAN DIEGO, CA — Today more than 11 million Americans pack fitness studios around the country seeking the mind-body benefits of yoga, but yoga isn't offering them a good calorie-burning workout, according to a study by the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
ACE examined the aerobic benefits and calorie expenditure of Hatha yoga, the most beginner-friendly and widespread practice, and found that although yoga improves strength, endurance, balance and flexibility, it doesn't provide the best calorie burn.
The study involved 34 healthy but sedentary women. Subjects were divided into two groups: a yoga group and a non-yoga group. The yoga group participated in yoga classes three times a week while the non-yoga group was barred from any exercise.
While the yoga group showed numerous improvements in strength (could do six more push-ups and 14 more curl-ups), endurance, balance (had a 17-second increase in one-legged stand time) and flexibility (increased 13 percent), they did not burn significant calories. In fact, one 50-minute session of Hatha yoga burns just 144 calories, similar to a slow walk.
"Yoga is designed to relax the body and help improve musculoskeletal fitness. If you attempt to incorporate calorie-burning elements in a yoga session you may compromise the essential purpose and beneficial effects of the practice," said Dr. Cedric X. Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for ACE. "Yoga is still a valuable addition to any exercise routine offering the essential elements of flexibility, balance and relaxation; factors often neglected in traditional workouts."

LONDON (AP) — London commuters are facing long delays and massive disruptions after subway workers walked off the job to protest upcoming job cuts.
Long lines began forming at bus stops before dawn on Wednesday as travelers sought alternative means of transport. Roads also were more congested than usual.
Unions serving the London Underground, known as the Tube, began their 48-hour protest late Tuesday, tossing the morning commute into disarray.
Poor weather was also predicted for later Wednesday, risking flooding, landslides and falling trees on rail lines.
London's mayor Boris Johnson urged unions to return to talks, while union leaders accused the mayor of refusing to meet them to discuss their grievances.
Another strike is planned for next week.

Difference between revisions of "Tetouan"
Revision as of 18:37, 8 June 2008
Tetouan is a city in northern Morocco.
Get in
Many travelers only see the bus station en route from Ceuta or Tangier to Chefchaouen.
Get around
There is an old Kasbah on the top of the hill overlooking the town, with a good view of the mountains if you have a few hours to kill.
Stay safe
Be alert at the bus station here; since many travelers only pass through, this is a popular spot for touts. When attempting to purchase a ticket, only talk with someone behind one of the counters, not with anyone standing anywhere near it. Some even have friends working in the bus station who will back them up in their attempt to divert you into an expensive taxi by agreeing that there are no buses to your destination. Be persistent, and show a willingness to wait as long as it takes.
Think carefully if you really want to come here, there is a nasty vibe in the air and the hassle has non of the friendly nature you get in the rest of Morroco. Be careful if you want to venture out at night.
Dont eat the kababs, unless you want the town to become even more unpleasant.
Get out

Whatever became of Harper Lee? This is the enigma at the heart of Mary McDonagh Murphy's documentary "Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' " The author of one of the most beloved and honored American novels has not granted a full-fledged interview since 1964, three years after the book's publication. She also never wrote another novel.
Unlike the late J.D. Salinger, Lee is not a recluse – she's appeared in public over the years to receive honorary awards – but a clue to her temperament can perhaps be gleaned from that last interview, for a New York radio station, where she described her reaction to the book's success as "sheer numbness, like being hit over the head and knocked cold."
A deeper clue comes from an anecdote from Oprah Winfrey, one of the film's many starry-eyed interviewees, who describes a lunch with Lee where she tried to persuade the author to appear on her talk show. Lee responded that she wasn't Scout, the novel's feisty heroine, but rather the fearful hermit Boo Radley.
Surely there is more to the mystery than even this. As the writer Mark Childress explains, if "Mockingbird" had sold 4,000 copies instead of 50 million, Lee would probably have written other books and been out on the circuit hustling them just like any other writer. (Well, almost any other. Thomas Pynchon anyone?) Lee's immense success insulated her from the usual cares of the writer's life, but it also stymied her. How could she follow up "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
Other serious writers, such as Norman Mailer ("The Naked and the Dead"), were able to move beyond the smash debut novel phenomenon and create full careers for themselves. Others, like Ralph Ellison ("Invisible Man"), could not. But how much of our expectations for Lee are unrealistic – unfair? In America, especially, artists are expected to top themselves regularly. When, inevitably, they don't, they are regarded as failures and their considerable successes are deemed old news. (This certainly describes the unjust reception to Orson Welles's career.) But what if Lee had only one story to tell? Might that not be enough?
It would have been wonderful if Lee had consented to an interview for this documentary, but at least we have, among many others, her 99-year-old sister Alice, until recently a practicing lawyer in their hometown of Monroeville, Ala. (Their father, A.C. Lee, was a progressive lawyer and the model for the novel's Atticus Finch, the role played in the celebrated 1962 movie starring Gregory Peck.) Alice, who resembles Eudora Welty and has a voice that's like a cross between a foghorn and a buzz saw, is a fund of useful information.
She fills in the blanks on the relationship between Lee and Truman Capote, their childhood neighbor and the model for the novel's Dill Harris character. The closest of friends, Nelle Harper Lee and Capote fell apart when "To Kill a Mockingbird" won the Pulitzer Prize and "In Cold Blood" didn't. There were veiled insinuations, likely stemming from Capote, that he wrote, or heavily edited, much of her manuscript. "Poppycock," say several of the film's interviewees. Lee's voice in the book and in the many letters she wrote to friends is identical. And if Capote, a publicity hound, had actually written "To Kill a Mockingbird," he would have been the last person to deny it.
The Capote rumors issue from the same mind-set that can't comprehend how the writer of such a good book could never again write any more fiction – not even a short story. Alice Lee states flatly that her sister is not working on anything else, but there is triumphalism as well as regret in her voice. Going out on a high note is not such a bad thing, even if the note was sounded long ago. Grade: B+ (Unrated.)

"The Shield's" last season & more FX
FX will debut "Sons of Anarchy," a gritty drama about a motorcycle gang starring Katey Sagal and Ron Perlman, on Sept. 3. This may be an acquired taste with tough to decipher dialog.
The seventh and final season of "The Shield" begins the night before, Sept. 2. ("Rescue Me" won't be back until spring '09, "Nip/Tuck" returns in January. "The Riches" isn't officially dead but don't bet on its return.)
CCH Pounder may have let slip a bit of a spoiler for the "Shield's" ending. "Vic Mackey
gets what he deserves!" she told assembled tv critics. I thought I felt the producers stiffen.
Will there be a movie? "How do you talk about making a movie when we don't even know who lives?" said Michael Chiklis via satellite.
"Damages" looks to be on a roll with Marcia Gay Harden and William Hurt joining the cast. Glenn Close called the show "the consumate creative experience. Peeling away the layers of the character is a revelation for me as well as the audience." In Europe recently, Close marveled that she kept running into people who told her the best writing for the screen is coming out of American television.
We already knew that.

View the complete FCS ADA Academic All-Star team
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech sophomore wide receiver Cody Matthews has been selected as one of just 54 players on the 15th annual Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) Academic All-Star Team. He is one of four football players from the Ohio Valley Conference chosen for the honor squad.
"The FCS ADA is pleased to honor the accomplishments of our football student-athletes each year with our Academic All-Star Team," said FCS ADA President Ron Strollo, director of athletics at Youngstown State University. "The accolades of these young men both in the classroom and on the field epitomize the definition of student-athlete and our Association looks forward to recognizing their accomplishments annually."
Matthews had 28 catches for 477 yards and four touchdowns in the 2012 season, all numbers which ranked second on the team. He averaged 17.2 yards per catch, a figure that was also second-best on the team. A third-year member of the roster from Gallatin, Tenn., Matthews spent his first season as a redshirt defensive back. He made the move to wide receiver in the 2011 spring drills and has played that position for two years.
A communications major, he owns a 3.78 grade point average and has been named on the TTU Athletic Director's Honor Roll every semester and the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll twice. His first season netted 12 catches for 169 yards and three touchdowns. In two years, he has made 40 catches for 646 yards and seven scores.
He is the son of Chuck Matthews and Chandra Matthews.
In addition to Matthews, the only other players from the Ohio Valley Conference included on the list were placekicker Cameron Berra and offensive lineman Dominic Pagliara of Eastern Illinois, and offensive lineman Patrick Ford from Eastern Kentucky.
Football players from all Football Championship Subdivision institutions are eligible for these prestigious awards. Each of the nominees were required to have a minimum grade point average of 3.20 (on a 4.00 scale) in undergraduate study and have been a starter or key player with legitimate athletics credentials. He must have reached his second year of athletics and academic standing at the nominated institution and have completed a minimum of one full academic year at the nominated institution. He must also have participated in 50 percent of the games played at his designated position.
