ADJUSTMENT, maritime law. The adjustment of a loss is the settling and
ascertaining the amount of the indemnity which the insured after all proper
allowances and deductions have been made, is entitled to receive, and the
proportion of this, which each underwriter is liable to pay, under the
policy Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 14, p. 617 or it is a written admission of the
amounts of the loss as settled between the parties to a policy of insurance.
3 Stark. Ev. 1167, 8.
2. In adjusting a loss, the first thing to be considered is, how the quantity of damages for which the underwriters are liable, shall be ascertained. When a loss is a total loss, and the insured decides to abandon, he must give notice of this to the underwriters iii a reasonable time, otherwise he will waive his right to abandon, and must be content to claim only for a partial loss. Marsh. Ins. B.1, c.3, s.2; 15 East, 559; 1 T. R. 608; 9 East, 283; 13 East 304; 6 Taunt. 383. When the loss is admitted to be total, and the policy is a valued one, the insured is entitled to receive the whole sum insured, subject to such deductions as may have been agreed by the policy to be made in case of loss.
3. The quantity of damages being known, the next point to be settled, is, by what rule this shall be estimated. The price of a thing does not afford a just criterion to ascertain its true value. It may have been bought very dear or very cheap. The circumstances of time and place cause a continual variation in the price of things. For this reason, in cases of general average, the things saved contribute not according to prune cost, but according to the price for which they may be sold at the time of settling the average. Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 14, s. 2, p. 621; Laws of Wisbury, art. 20 Laws of Oleron, art. 8 this Dict. tit. Price. And see 4 Dall. 430; 1 Caines' R. 80; 2 S. & R. 229 2 S.& R. 257, 258.
4. An adjustment being endorsed on the policy, and signed by the underwriters, with the promise to pay in a given time, is prima facie evidence against them, and amounts to an admission of all the facts necessary to be proved by the insured to entitle him to recover in an action on the policy. It is like a note of hand, and being proved, the insured has no occasion to go into proof of any other circumstances. Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 14, s. 3, p. 632; 3 Stark. Ev. 1167, 8 Park. ch. 4; Wesk. Ins, 8; Beaw. Lex. Mer. 310; Com. Dig. Merchant, E 9; Abbott on Shipp. 346 to 348. See Damages.

Dotted Line Communications, a "women and mother-owned organization" has put together an infographic asking new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer to take a full-on maternity leave when she has her first child later this fall.
So far, according to Dotted Line, Mayer has only said her "maternity leave will be a few weeks long" and that she will "work throughout."
This is obviously a very sensitive topic, and candidly, I have no idea what the right call for Mayer, women in general, my working wife, or Yahoo is.
But some people have a very strong viewpoint.
Last week, Kara Nortman, the Senior Vice President of Consumer Businesses at CityGrid Media, wrote a blog asking Mayer to "take a real maternity leave of some variety!"
Nortman wrote: "Whether Marissa realizes it or not, the way she treats maternity leave will serve as an example or an anti-example for all woman looking for a path, for those women who do not want "to gap" their ambition, but also want to enjoy being a parent."
The post received many favorable comments, but more than a view readers responded the way magazine entrepreneur Robin Wolaner did.
She wrote: "Kara Nortman has no business telling Marissa Mayer what kind of maternity leave to take. I've been a pregnant CEO, and I wouldn't presume to sit in judgment of another woman's choices."
Take a look at the infographic and let us know what you think:

Audio for this story from Weekend Edition Saturday will be available at approx. 12:00 p.m. ET
September 29, 2012
Police outside Detroit dug up a spot under a driveway yesterday and took some soil samples. No official findings have been announced.
An unidentified man recently told police he saw a guy bury something there in the summer of 1975, shortly after Jimmy Hoffa disappeared, after he was supposed to have lunch with Tony Provenzano, a Teamster officer, and Tony Jack Giacalone, a Detroit mobster, at the Machus Red Fox restaurant.
"What happened to Jimmy Hoffa?" is one of the great persisting questions of the past generation. The pugnacious and corrupt former head of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was convicted of trying to bribe a grand juror in 1964, and, separately, of stealing from his union's pension fund.
He was pardoned after serving fewer than 5 of his accumulated 13-year sentence, but prohibited from having anything to do with his old union.
Then, he disappeared.
In the absence of evidence, rumors have abounded.
Most famous and absurd was a 1989 interview Tony "The Greek" Frankos, a former mobster, gave to Playboy saying Jimmy Hoffa had been fingered by Fat Tony Salerno, the crime boss, because he threatened to expose mob ties in the Teamsters during that time; which sounds like someone threatening to reveal that pro wrestling is staged.
He said Jimmy Hoffa had been buried under the west end zone of the football stadium then being built in New Jersey. No traces of Jimmy Hoffa were found, though most of the jokes are still made.
Other tips said he'd been buried beneath Detroit's Renaissance Center, or dumped out of a small plane into Lake Erie, both of which are—perhaps conveniently—pretty much unverifiable without digging up a skyscraper or draining a Great Lake.
Richard Zuckerman, a Detroit criminal attorney who was in the federal Detroit strike force that investigated the disappearance in the 1970's, calls this week's driveway dig "lunacy," and believes Jimmy Hoffa's remains have been incinerated.
But he cautioned us to remember that his death was not some movie crime story, with gaudy nicknames and flamboyant boasts. He says it was murder.
"Jimmy Hoffa was a tough guy," he said, who strong-armed people and stole. But he was never suspected of killing anyone. Mr. Zuckerman was in the US Army in Vietnam, and says he learned a little about the pain of any family not knowing for sure what happened to someone they loved. One man's thug, after all, is another man's father.
Jimmy Hoffa's son, James P. Hoffa is current president of the Teamsters. His daughter, Barbara Ann Crancer, is a retired Circuit Court Judge in St. Louis.
"Carrying that pain for 37 years is unimaginable," says Richard Zuckerman. So he adds, "I don't make Jimmy Hoffa jokes."

Authorities Force 73,000 Blogs Offline?
from the that-doesn't-seem-right deptTorrentFreak is reporting that a company, Blogetery, that hosted about 73,000 blogs, has been shut down by US authorities. Details are, admittedly, sketchy at this point, but the entire site has been taken down, and the company's ISP claims that they had to terminate the account immediately due to the "request of law enforcement officials, due to material hosted on the server." The ISP also claimed:
"this was not a typical case, in which suspension and notification would be the norm. This was a critical matter brought to our attention by law enforcement officials. We had to immediately remove the server."That seems odd. If there was problematic content from some users, why not just take down that content or suspend those users. Taking down all 73,000 blogs seems... excessive. TorrentFreak speculates that this may be a part of the recent Homeland Security efforts to shut down file sharing site, and points to some evidence that there were at least a few Blogetery blogs that shared copyrighted works. However, no one's talking, and the ISP seems spooked, saying that it's "serious":
"Simply put: We cannot give him his data nor can we provide any other details. By stating this, most would recognize that something serious is afoot."I'm still wondering what could be so serious that the specific problems couldn't be pinpointed? Taking down 73,000 blogs with no notice seems like overkill, no matter what the actual issue turns out to be.

Stop the Funding - If the locals are as xenophobic and violent as you say here, the United States and France should stop taking care of them with tax dollars. America is in a deep recession while France's unemployment rate has been 10% for like twenty years now. I see no reason to keep giving V.I. racist thugs handouts while good hard working American and French have to pay for them to continue being illiterate losers. I really hope for the locals' sake they are not that bad, but who knows, too much dope can blunt even full-grown adults to such an extent they act like children all their lives.

BALTIMORE (Reuters) – U.S. Catholic bishops on Tuesday elected Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, as president of their leadership conference.
The election of Kurtz to a three-year-term comes as Catholic bishops worldwide are being given new direction by Pope Francis, who has emphasized greater humility and more concern for the poor. The bishops oversee 69 million American Catholics, or about one-quarter of the U.S. population.

"Computer science, like so many fields, changes at a staggering pace. This means we cannot focus on imparting a set of facts and techniques to our students. Instead, we drive our students to become true CS practitioners. When a new technology becomes available, they will have the confidence and foundation to learn it on their own."
As a professor, there is nothing that Kenneth Moorman enjoys more than seeing one of his students succeed in the post-Transylvania world. Unless, of course, it's convincing non-computer science majors that the subject near and dear to his heart can offer something of value to them as well. Either way, Moorman revels in his students' success, something he's grown quite accustomed to since joining the Transylvania faculty in 1997.
Part of that success is due, in part, to Moorman's belief that the undergraduate classroom, where the presentation of information is critical, should not focus on "dry lectures." Rather, he says, the classroom should provide "opportunities for active involvement by the students."
"Most computer science courses have a significant hands-on aspect; this needs to be encouraged with both formal lab sessions and independent work," Moorman adds.
Likewise, Moorman believes undergraduates should be exposed to research-style projects to prepare interested students for further work in research. Several of his students have worked with him over the summer, including one who created a chess playing system on a new chip architecture and another who programmed a variation of the SLAM robotic navigation system on a Sony AIBO dog.
In addition, to help prepare students for the workplace, he insists on providing opportunities for group work.
"While individual work is important, it is also relevant to future work experience to learn how to work in and contribute to a team effort," he says. "Many students feel uncomfortable with this approach, especially those expecting to receive credit based solely on their own efforts, but it is an undeniable fact that many real-world projects are group ones."
Moorman's teaching philosophy meshes well with the Transylvania liberal arts approach to problem solving, which he says enables student to succeed no matter which postgraduate route they take.
"Whenever possible, a background of interdisciplinary topics should be the foundation of any course. No course stands alone; every one represents an opportunity to demonstrate how a particular field fits into a larger context of learning," he says.
Further, "this liberal arts approach aids the student by emphasizing learning over simply remembering the facts of a particular field. The ultimate goal is to produce a general-purpose thinker."
Throughout Moorman's tenure, he has taught a variety of courses, including the extremely popular Game Design course, operating systems, artificial intelligence, introduction to robotics, and computer organization. He is widely published on topics of creativity, reading, science fiction, and comic books.

But as John Davis notes in this classic MotorWeek segment, while the original xA and xB were quirky, boxy hatchbacks, they went the coupe route with the 2005 Scion tC. It was bigger than the other two and packed "a lot" more power — a whopping 160 horsepower coupled to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
For some reason, Mr. Davis seems to think it's "quite the roadrunner" with a 7.6 second zero to 60 mph time. At the same time, it has a comfortable ride with a youthful, well-appointed interior. Plus, you can fit a weedeater in the back hatch. It's all like ka-kow!

Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SAS): Strengthening the Alliance
"When the U.S. decided to take action against the Taliban in Afghanistan, Canberra's response was to send in the cream of Australia's military, the SAS. Modeled on the British SAS and feared by potential enemies, little was known of Australia's Special Forces, the Australian Government has been secretive of there operations..."
For nearly 100 years, Australia has committed its armed services in every major conflict fought by the United States. Its foreign policy makers and its people have mostly accepted that the U.S. is a force for good; a force that historically we have wanted to be associated with. Beginning in 1908 when Australian Prime Minister Alfred Deakin successfully invited Teddy Roosevelt to send his fleet to visit our shores through to the fighting in WW1. From when John Curtin turned our military operations over to U.S. General Douglas Macarthur during WWII, through to Vietnam and presently, Afghanistan and Iraq - some 50,000 Australians, including ground troops and air force and navy personnel, served in Vietnam.
Under the Anzus Treaty, Americans are committed to respond to an attack on Australia and vice versa. Following 9/11, the Howard Government invoked Anzus under clause iv which states,
"Each party recognizes that an armed attack in the Pacific area on any of the parties would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes."It is interesting that the attacks in NYC, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania were outside the Pacific forum however, the wording of Anzus made little difference, there was universal intent for the two allies to assist each other. Hence, Anzus which begun as a regional pact has evolved to a global one.
When the U.S. decided to take action against the Taliban in Afghanistan, Canberra's response was to send in the cream of Australia's military, the SAS. Modeled on the British SAS and feared by potential enemies, little was known of Australia's Special Forces, the Australian Government has been secretive of there operations, the personal and intensive training methods; something that proved valuable in operations.
In relation to matters technology and skill levels, the U.S. views many of its allies as being somewhat backward, the exception being the U.K thus for Australia, the Afghanistan operation, known as Anaconda provided an opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of its own special forces, which were up to worlds best practice, highest state of readiness, in possession of there own equipment and superbly trained. Anaconda proved just how enormously capable the Australian SAS is, and represented another defining moment in the history of the U.S. – Australia alliance; in that single operation the SAS saved the U.S. a significant loss of troops. Former U.S. Secretary of State and Special Forces officer himself, Richard Armitage and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, also a decorated former soldier noted that the regiment is as good as any such formations the world, said Armitage,
"The Australian SAS are shit-hot and our people love to work with them."Added Lieutenant-General Frank Hagenbeck in a television interview "The Australian SAS are shit-hot and our people love to work with them." Added Lieutenant-General Frank Hagenbeck in a television interview,
"The Australian SAS displayed those kinds of things that make them elite, in my view, of small-unit infantrymen throughout the world … that's autonomy, independence, tenacity that they will never be defeated."The Australian SAS is a somewhat diverse soldier to that of a U.S. Special Forces unit member. Being trained for a more traditional role of patrol and long-range reconnaissance with an emphasis on independence and endurance together with core tasks including recovery, counterterrorism, and offensive operations making them highly capable when infiltrating behind enemy lines and/or to undertake covert operations for extended periods. The typical Australian SAS is a leaner mass than his American equal and is trained to endure on little for very long periods. The other notable difference relates to technology. Whilst the Australians both possess and value both Hi-tech tools and support systems, the focus is more so on the soldier, not the gear – as we shall see, this factor weighed heavily during Anaconda. It is not suggested that this makes them better, just different.
The operation took place in February 2002 and involved some two-thousand coalition soldiers. It was designed to crush the enemy, (in this case Taliban elements and al-Qaeda fighters) between converging coalition forces in Shahikot Valley. At one stage, it went horribly wrong, in order to illustrate the role of the SAS, the following description represents the basic sum and substance of the operation.
From the onset the enemy area was pounded from the air by U.S. jets, but unknown to coalition forces at the time, this proved largely ineffective due to the many tunnels and caves for the fighters to shelter in. When U.S. helicopter borne troops arrived there was some intense skirmishes, those not killed would escape through the many tracks leading to where Australian troops were waiting. The Afghan vehicles broke down and a convoy became separated, soon the enemy, being more capable and larger than expected attacked hard. A U.S. helicopter sent in to assist had to back off due to intense enemy fire and in doing so; a U.S. soldier fell from it and was immediately shot. More U.S. helicopters arrived on the scene but two were shot down resulting in the deaths of six troops and dozens wounded. A rescue mission was called off as 36 U.S. soldiers found themselves isolated, surrounded and under attack by a powerful Taliban force that greatly outnumbered them. It would not be till nightfall that a new rescue mission would be mounted.
This is where the Australian SAS mission became critical. High in the mountains above, in extremely harsh environmental conditions; conditions that we humans are not supposed to survive in, with frozen water bottles and suffering altitude sickness, the SAS patrols had entrenched themselves long before to gain an overview of the battle. With there instrumentation they could not only see the Americans in the valley, but also the enemy, who were now quickly advancing in for the kill. From there mountaintop hideaway the SAS team reported a looming disaster to the coalition command tent. Fortunately, throughout the many hours that followed the SAS called in very precise and successful American air strikes to engage the enemy thus frustrating their attempts to approach the trapped U.S. soldiers.
The operation demonstrated that technology had limitations, the hostile conditions made it difficult for U.S. spy planes to see the enemy sufficiently well to guide the bombers and the dense fog in the Shah-i-Kot valley rendered the Predator surveillance drones ineffective. That meant an SAS observation team was to play a crucial role in saving a platoon of US Rangers. The incredibly fit and highly trained SAS unit did a remarkable job, accurately directing U.S. firepower and in doing so, a human tragedy was averted.
Indeed, there were other very significant contributions. At the onset of the Iraqi invasion, with there speed, weaponry, mobility, they swept across the desert, identifying targets for the Americans and destroying Saddam's command and control structure. Significantly, they seized the huge Al Asad airfield, the second largest airbase in Iraq and with it discovered and grounded Fifty-five Soviet built Migs and seized eight million kilogram of explosives. President Bush expressed gratitude to our leaders, as it was learned that the SAS removed the threat of Iraqi strikes on Israel having also knocked out Scud missile launchers in the desert. It is perhaps to this that former Israeli Prime minister Ehud Barak referred to when commenting on the Australian SAS's successes.
The remarkable feats may have also influenced U.S. defense policy in relation to their own special forces. Said Greg Sheridan,
"The decision announced in the 2006 U.S. Quadrennial Defense Review to vastly increase U.S. Special Forces almost certainly owes something to the example of the Australians, for whom the Americans come to have the highest regard. In terms of the alliance, Iraq drew the Australian and U.S. militaries very much closer together."The SAS involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan has fundamentally altered the relationship between the two militaries; today American commanders give the Australian contingent great operational priority. As U.S. Marine Corps Brigadier General James Mattis wrote,
"We Marines would happily storm hell itself with your troops on our right flank."Finally, for those who see the praise as nothing short of apple-polishing, let's envision the following act. Once again, Greg Sheridan:
"It's a peaceful image from Afghanistan just after Anaconda. The battle is over … the dead are being mourned. A large group of U.S. soldiers is lined up at the mess for food. It's a fairly sound rule in life not to get between a soldier and his food but this day some very strange happens. A few Australian SAS men arrive and join the food queue. Suddenly the marines recognize them and the food line breaks up, the Australians are applauded and ushered to the front of the food queue to be served first. In its way, this is as eloquent a testimony as ever you could find."The total current Australian commitment in Afghanistan is approximately 1000 personnel.

Saturday, July 6, ALMS Northeast Grand Prix - Jiminy Crickets it was hot as the dickens. On the track and at the track. And the racing action was even hotter. Four races, a zillion classes, lots of deserving winners.
In the big race, the two hour, 45-minute ALMS Northeast Grand Prix – greenflagged by Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy – Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf won for the second year in a row, driving the Muscle Milk Pickett Racing Honda Performance Development ARX-03a. Dyson Racing was celebrating their 30th anniversary, and with Guy Smith and Chris Dyson behind the wheel, its Lola-Mazda B12/60 finished second.
The entire race was filled with action, which is almost always the case in the wonderfully multi-class ALMS race at LRP.
For full American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix results, go to alms.com.
If you're wondering how Patrick Dempsey did in the GTC division and how Katherine Legge and Andy Meyrick did with the DeltaWing... well, not terrific. Dempsey and teammate Andy Lally had contact, mechanical and penalty issues, but still brought their Porsche 911 GT3 seventh in class. Legge and Meyrick, not so lucky; overheating ended their DeltaDay with 62 laps to go.
Hey, enough blathering. Instead, take a look at all the great pix taken by Greg Clark and Casey Keil.
It was a very cool day in a hot kind of way.
See you at Ferrari Challenge July 20.

Energy storage systems can reduce thermal strain on the grid during peak load periods and provide a reliable backup power supply during grid outages. These systems make the grid more resilient to damage caused by extreme weather, natural disasters, and cyberattacks. In addition, energy storage systems, when coupled with renewable energy sources, can help electric utilities meet peak demand requirements without the need for additional conventional generation from burning fossil fuels. Superstorm Sandy caused major damage to the infrastructure used to transport fuels including the natural gas used in gas-fired backup generators.
Large-scale energy storage systems allow electric utilities to better utilize renewable generation produced by commercial wind and solar plants. These systems, installed at collector substations, can provide megawatt-hours of energy storage and include controls that permit this power to be dispatched when it's needed the most ¾ during periods of peak usage. Large-scale systems dramatically reduce greenhouse gases by deferring, or eliminating, the need for additional generation produced by traditional generating sources. These systems displace peak energy costs with off-peak costs.
There are greater demands for electricity at certain times of the day. The grid can add more generation, charge time of use, or provide technology that "shaves" the peak. This is commonly referred to as peak shaving. The peak-shaving capability of large-scale energy storage systems is especially valuable during heat waves when high electricity demand and with high temperatures can cause significant thermal strain to power grid equipment. Such thermal strain can shorten the life of power grid assets and lead to equipment failures that result in outages.
Large-scale energy storage systems can also supply an immediate source of backup power in the event a major storm, other natural disaster, or cyberattack results.
Large-scale energy storage systems can be combined with a fault location, isolation, and restoration (FLISR) system to achieve dynamic islanding upon the loss of power to the feeder from the serving substation. Service is restored to the maximum number of customers based on load information captured by the FLISR system before the loss of power, and the amount of energy available in the battery. The island is minimized as the battery is depleted and/or power is restored to the feeder.
Small-scale energy storage systems use pad-mounted energy storage units distributed along residential feeders at the edge of the power grid. These battery-based units permit the integration of the community's intermittent renewable generation resources ¾ such as rooftop photovoltaic panels and wind turbines ¾ into the grid, where these increasingly popular resources can be dispatched when needed.
The battery-based energy storage units can be aggregated to collectively provide peak shaving, improve power quality, and/or improve local voltage control to reduce losses and thus improve distribution feeder efficiencies. This aggregation of energy storage units can eliminate the need for costly, time-consuming infrastructure build-outs. Distributed energy storage can be a means for peak shaving since it doesn't require customer involvement. The mesh communication system used to link the energy storage units can help the utility quickly find the site of a problem on the distribution system without first dispatching a crew to locate it.
The energy storage units offer reliable, local backup power for consumers as well. The close proximity of the energy storage units to consumers helps ensure the availability of supplemental power in the event of an outage. A typical 25-kVA energy storage unit can offer supplemental power to several homes for up to three hours—more than sufficient for the duration of many outages. They can also be deployed at traffic signals and used for emergency lighting, emergency communications, and more.
A fleet of larger-capacity energy storage units ¾ typically rated 250 kVA ¾ distributed throughout the grid can support hundreds of homes, small businesses, and critical infrastructure during an outage. When combined with the community's renewable generation resources, the resultant microgrid is capable of operating for many hours or even days. Groups of these larger-capacity energy storage units can be arranged as "virtual power plants" and suitably planned to be storm-ready in anticipation of an outage. With the deployment of virtual power plants, utility crews can concentrate on service restoration elsewhere on the system.
The distribution grid, transformed into microgrids, offers an additional benefit: increased resilience to potential cybersecurity attacks.
Electric service in Presidio, Texas, is supplied by a troublesome, difficult-to-access 69-kV line. Repairs to this line frequently take a long time. Because of its limited connection to the grid ¾ and its high summer and winter peak loads ¾ Presidio often experiences protracted power outages, especially from storm-related damage.
To improve power quality and reliability, the serving utility, AEP, procured a large-scale energy storage system which they applied in conjunction with a distributed-intelligence FLISR system to provide dynamic islanding for the entire town. The energy storage system has substantially improved power quality and decreased the number of outages experienced by utility customers in the Presidio area.
Small-scale community energy storage projects have been deployed in the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and elsewhere.
Implementation of an energy storage system typically involves several steps, including:

Fall into Fashion: Denver Links enjoy quite a show
In 2010, when the folks behind Ebony Fashion Fair decided to put the show on hiatus after 50 history-making years, Denver chapter of The Links, Inc. was left without a signature fundraiser.
The traveling show produced by the Johnson family — the same Johnsons who publish Ebony and Jet magazines — had long been the primary source of funds for the Links' philanthropic efforts, and it wasn't going to be easy to find something to take its place.
The members took time to evaluate, discuss and regroup, settling on Fall into Fashion, a cocktail reception and runway show that took place Oct. 6 at Neiman Marcus Cherry Creek.
A committee led by Nina Henderson Moore, MaryAnn Franklin and Kaarin Pigford worked with the store's vice president and general manager, Christel Dikeman, and spokeswoman, Nancy Sagar, to coordinate an event that delighted fashionistas of every age.

Poor Carlton Banks. He went to Princeton, backed by a large family fortune, but that wasn't enough for him. Somewhere along the line he fell on hard times—2008 felled so many titans—and had to resort to doing personal appearances at single-A baseball games in Iowa.
Last night, Carlton (pictured above with Will Smith, an actor and Carlton's cousin) turned up at the Quad Cities River Bandits' game against the Beloit Snappers. See, it's on the River Bandits' website as a promotion: "Appearance: 'Carlton,' Presented by Quad-City Times." (That's when you know you're really in the shit: when a small-town daily newspaper can afford to pony up your appearance fee.)
At first, all were excited. But Carlton Night was far less fun than it could have been, reports reader Matt. Carlton had to read the lyrics to "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" off his phone. And, worse, he didn't dance:
Thanks a lot, Carlton. Time has made you a bitterer man.

It's true. You can't put a limit on anything.
The praying mantis, aka Lean Green Machine, dived off the high board, did a reverse 3-1/2 double somersault with 1/2 twist and swam to the edge of the Olympic-sized pool. He gingerly lifted himself out of the water as a cheering spectator handed him a bouquet of red roses.
Well, it didn't happen quite that way.
The praying mantis entered our shallow birdbath—maybe a baptismal ceremony?—and using his best dog-paddle, praying-mantis stroke, swam across the birdbath. Then he leaped onto a yellow rose occupied by a bee.
Maybe he was simply "wetting" his appetite (er, "whetting" his appetite).
Fish swim. Crocodiles swim. Snakes swim. Dogs swim. Cats swim. And praying mantids swim.
Praying mantids are observant critters. They know where to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a few snacks in between. A bee garden is their supermarket, a veritable one-stop shopping experience. No carts, credit cards or courtesy calls needed.
Praying mantids are so camouflaged that you rarely see them. But when you're watering the plants in the early morning, a spray of water will prompt them to emerge. Displeased and disgruntled. Peeved and perturbed. Kicking and kvetching. This is no "Good-morning-sunshine!" kind of greeting.
In our family bee garden, they perch on the Mexican sunflower (Tithonia) and lie in wait for prey. You'll see them swiveling their heads at 180 degrees as they patiently wait to ambush an unsuspecting bee or butterfly. Their spiked forelegs ensure there's no escape.
We've all heard that a female praying mantis will sometimes behead and eat her mate. We've all heard that the hundred or so nymphs that hatch from the egg case will eat their brothers and sisters. They've been doing this for 150 million years or so.
Some teachers keep praying mantids in their classroom. Some folks keep praying mantids as pets. We think we'll train ours to be the insect version of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who medaled 22 times, 18 of them gold.
The Lean Green Machine already knows how to do the one-meter butterfly. That would be the Western tiger swallowtail (Papilio rutulus) and the skipper (Hylephila phyleus).

The durability of Jane Austen's prose is such that every few years seem to produce a new wide-eyed Emma or another "Pride and Prejudice," whether needed or not. Enter — stately and sophisticated as ever — "Masterpiece Classic's" latest "Emma," a four-hour production PBS will spread across three successive Sundays. Given that the 195-year-old story is fairly well known, the protracted length works against an otherwise solid effort, with Romola Garai ("Atonement") picking up where Kate Beckinsale, Gwyneth Paltrow and Alicia Silverstone (sorta) left off. If not a match made in heaven, it's a perfectly adequate pairing.
Tasked with the adaptation, Sandy Welch and director Jim O'Hanlon take advantage of the extra time beyond mere feature length to flesh out aspects of Emma's story, from a nifty little prologue to use of both an omnipotent narrator and voiceover by Emma herself. This helps certain sequences acquire additional resonance, like the narrator saying Emma realized she was "about to lose something that might never be recovered" as the camera fixes on Garai's pensive expression.
Once again, Emma is a rich and privileged girl who delights in matchmaking, occasionally yielding unintended consequences. None is more unintended than the turn in her feelings toward long-time friend Mr. Knightley ("Eli Stone's" Jonny Lee Miller), who regularly scolds her for cavalierly meddling in the lives of others.
The surroundings are as sumptuous as Samuel Sim's score, and the fine cast includes the always-welcome Michael Gambon as Emma's fussy father and Louise Dylan in the key role of Harriet Smith, who Emma seeks to take under her wing.
There are moments of magic, such as when Emma and Knightley exchange meaningful glances as they dance, capturing the unexpected sparks passing between them.
Nevertheless, "Emma" plods in places where it should be moving at more of a trot. Garai cuts a fine figure in the title role, and there's really nothing wrong with this "Emma" that a little slimming down couldn't fix. As is, it's surely a classic, but falls short of a "Masterpiece."

Samir: the video, even in this edited version, is extremely upsetting and I could not bear to watch more than a few seconds. I do not see why you mention racism in your post, as animal cruelty goes on all over the world. It is not restricted to one nation or race.
You have written that "the local law is lacking". What exactly do you mean? That there are not suitable laws against animal cruelty? Or that there are such laws, but the police were unwilling to prosecute?
If it is a case of the laws not existing, then there is little can be done. Strong pressure needs to be applied on the government in that country for new animal cruelty laws (the video does not state which country this happened in). Or if the laws do exist but the police wouldn't do anything, then perhaps an appeal could be made to police headquarters about the inaction of the local police force, attaching details of what happened, the names of the perpetrators and some photos.
If all else fails, perhaps the local newspapers could be informed (with photos).

Tools required :
(1) Gparted or Parted Magic Live CD
(2) Vista installation DVD (needed only if the partition is physically moved)
I list two hard disks, both are 500Gb Sata II, as follow:-
The two disks are identical to start with, one being a backup clone of another. My normal disk is the device sda and the work I did was on sdb.

When I boot the MS systems I only use "ONE" disk. I can list both here because I use Linux. The section in blue relates to Xp while the section in purple relates to Vista.
The best to decribe the content of my hard disk is the Grub configruation file "menu.lst" (I shall give sufficient detais below to help users new to Linux)
This menu says I have altogether 12 operating systems insideCode:title Return to master menu configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/menu.lst title xp pro @ sda1 root (hd0,0) unhide (hd0,0) hide (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 title Vista @ sda2 root (hd0,1) unhide (hd0,1) hide (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic @ sd6 root (hd0,5) chainloader +1 #title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic #root (hd0,5) #kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=80db91a1-b3f2-42b2-b3a2-9cb6e5f71b8b ro quiet splash #initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic title Slackware 12.1 @ sda7 root (hd0,6) chainloader +1 title Mepis 6.0.4 @ sda8 root (hd0,7) chainloader +1 title Slax 6.0.0 @ sda9 root (hd0,8) chainloader +1 title OpenSuse 11-Beta 2 @ sda10 root (hd0,9) chainloader +1 title Debian 4r0 @ sda11 root (hd0,10) chainloader +1 title Yoper 3.0rc1 @ sda12 root (hd0,11) chainloader +1 title DSL 4.0 Alpha1 @ sda13 root (hd0,12) chainloader +1 title Linux Mint 4.0 KDE Beta 2 @ sda14 root (hd0,13) chainloader +1 title Puppy 3.0 @ sda15 root (hd0,14) chainloader +1
XP in sda1, type 7 but switchtable to type 17 if it is hidden, size 100Gb
Vista in sda2, type 17 but switchtable to type 7 if I unhide it, size 100Gb
sda3 is the entended partition containing sda5 to sda15.
A data-only partition in sd4, type 83, size 100Gb
sda5 is the common swap partition for all Linux
sda6 to sda15 each has a Linux inside.
The menu is from Grub thus I boot all the systems by Grub.
I stalled Xp and Vista each as a stand alone system so that each has its own boot loader inside.
If I boot Xp, I make its partition active (or bootable) and hide the Vista partition so that sda1 become the drive "c". Similarly I do the same with Vista and so a hidden Xp with partition type 17 is not recognised by Vista. This allow Vista in the second partition sda2 to boot up as a "C" drive. To any MS Windows Type 7 is ntfs partition and Type 17 is foreign so the latter is not supported and would not be mounted. The reason why a NTFS partition changes to type 17 when hidden is explained here.
The standard MS method is to use only one MS boot loader for booting both Xp and Vista but my arrangement is simpler and has no limit on the number of MS system I can boot. The disadvantage is I can only see one MS partition at a time.
What I have done is to prove we could resize and move both Xp and Vista partitions.
The idea of resizing or moving a partition is Gparted involves specifying the number of Mb in three boxes of
(i) Free space precceding the partition (normally zero to start with)
(ii) New size (showing the current size)
(iii) Free space following the partition (normally zero to start with)
To resize a partition one changes box (i) or/and (iii) and the new size in box (ii) will adjust itself.
To move the partition one adjust the free space in either (box (i) or box (ii) or both but keep the box (iii) unchanged.
Any decent operating system would not like to be resized or moved while in operation so the best practice is not to run the operating system inside the partition you want a size change or a relocation. Using a Linux Live CD is recommended as the operating system is independent of the hard disks and hence safe. Also a Linux Live Cd by default can give you the root privilege (admin right) to change the partitions.
Although altering a partition is easy in Linux it is a very serious change to the operating system and should only be undertaken with upmost care.
Using Gparted to resize and move XP
I am fairly comfortable with Gparted to resize and move a Xp, two different operations conducted simultaneously, as I have done enough trials.
The sdb partition table shows I have deleted the 100Gb partition sda4, which was originally at the end of sda2 between cylinder 24317 and 36598. I then shrunk the left boundary of XP in sda1 from 100Gb to 20Gb. Created a new sda4 of only 1Gb large at the beginning of the disk and move the XP next to the new sda1.
My scheme looks complicated and is not needed by other users. I did it because I want to show XP can be moved and resized at the same time by Gparted.
This also shows although sda4 is the 4th primary partition it can be put at the front of the hard disk as long as the first 3 primary paritions have been defined in the partition table.
I run a Parted Magic Live CD V2.1 to resize and move Xp in one operation. Parted Magic has Gparted which is the engine for resizing NTFS partitions reliably. If one uses the Gparted from an installed Linux the Xp partition may be protected by the installed Linux and ownership issue may make the resizing/moving operation difficult to instruct.
After its partition has been resized and moved we can expect XP to react to the changes. It will first conduct a check on the filing system by the usual 3-step CHKDSK command. The system will then automatically rebooted and thereafter it will work normally.
I cannot remember any problem of resizing and moving a XP with a Gparted or Parted Magic Live CD. It is simply as reliable as it can be expected.
Using Gparted to resize and move Vista
Now this is a different story.
Vista's disk management is shipped with a resizing function that can shrink or expand a Vista partition but it only works on the right boundary of the partition. In other word the left boundary can not be moved or there does not seem to be any facility to change the left boundary.
This tells me Vista can be easily resized but does not want to be "moved".
What is more it seems to have a mind of its own on how much it allows the user to shrink the system partition. In my case it only allowed me to shrink about 50Gb out of 100Gb although its footprint was no bigger than 16 Gb.
I tried to use Disk Management "shrink" facility and opted for the maximum reduction in size. Vista can shrink itself vary quickly and much much faster than Gparted can, so it pays to use it. I also did another size reduction later with Gparted to check the Vista behaviour.
This is no drama to use Vista's shrinking facility to reduce the partition by trimming back its righ boundary.
To move the Vista partition I had no choice but to use Gparted. To simplify the matter I moved it first, without resizing it at the same time, by instructing in Gaprted that the space infront of Vista's sda2 should be zero and click its rear space. This effectively tells Gparted to move sda2 next to sda1.
Gparted did this without any complaint so I rebooted but the Vista refused to boot and asked me to repair it.
This is the only time I needed to go back to Vista's installation DVD to repair a "moved" Vista partition. It was only a matter of booting up the Vista installation DVD, chose the keybord language and click "repair". I only have one Vista license and cannot test if any Vista installation DVD can do the repiar job but the behaviour of Vista led me to believe any Vista installation should be able to do the repair.
The repair took seconds. I then rebooted. Vista did the usual 3-stage CHKDSK to ensure the file system integrity and booted up successfully. It then demanded an immediate reboot to effect the hardware change. After the reboot Vista operates normally again.
Thus based on my observation a Vista partition can be moved but need a Vista installation DVD to carry out a repair. It is possible that Vista in normal operation disallows its position to be shifted. An possible explanation of needing a repair is that Vista may have hard-coded the hard disk address of the partition into the system files. Moving the Vista partition changes the hard disk address. As it is a proprietary system it should only be repaired by its own installation DVD. That seems to work satisfactorily.
I was unhappy that Vista no longer willing to shrink to a smaller size and wanted to retain its shrunk 50Gb size. So I run Parted Magic Live CD again and resized it to down 20Gb. This affected only its right boundary.
Vista reluctantly booted, did its CHKDSK check and demanded a reboot to efeect the new change. Thereafter Vista works normally again.
Thus I started Xp and Vista in two 100Gb partitions as sda1 and sda2. The two systems are now in sdb1 and sdb2 both 20Gb large and run happily at the different locations.
The disk sdb here is attached for demontration only as with sda disk attached I would have two Xp + two Vista and all Oses are duplicated. In real operation I have to remove one of the disks. Thus when I run the second disk and it is the only disk in the PC it becomes the sda again.
Throughout my experiement I booted both Xp and Vista with Grub only and never needed to restore MS's own MBR. I disable the system protection of both systems as I never have a need to go back to a recovery partition. I simply run a backup cloned disk.
(a) Xp can be safety resized and moved by Gparted (or Parted Magic). For best result use a Live CD as both are freely available for download.
(b) Vista it is shipped with a shrink/expand function in its disk management program to alter it right boundary of the partition. This is the most efficient way.
It appears Vista does not have own its facility to move itself.
Gparted can be used to moved and shrink a Vista partition but the moved partition required a "repair" to update its hard disk position by the Vista installation DVD.
To just resize a Vista right boundary Gparted alone is adequate for the operation but takes several times longer than Vista's own shrink/expand function.
(c) The resized and moved Xp and Vista systems retain their activations and do not need to be re-activated again.

Global STEM Achievement Ups and Downs Since 1995
Iran, Portugal, and Singapore might not have a lot in common, but here's one thing they share: All have seen their 4th grade science scores skyrocket since 1995. That's based on the new results issued yesterday from TIMSS, the Trends in International Math and Science Study.
The same isn't true, however, of the United States. The scores of our 4th graders in science are about the same as in 1995.
Meanwhile, some participating countries and jurisdictions have seen their scores slip in particular subjects and grade levels, including Sweden, Norway, Japan, and Alberta, Canada.
There are lots of data to mine in the TIMSS report beyond a simple snapshot of how nations stack up today. See this EdWeek story for an overview. In this post, I'll probe achievement changes since the assessment was first administered in 1995. Some countries are up, some down, and some are stuck back where they started in the mid-90s.
First, to be clear, U.S. students have made some gains on TIMSS. Here's a quick synopsis, comparing 1995 with 2011. (The TIMSS scale runs from 0 to 1,000, with 500 being the international average.)
- 4th grade science: Statistically flat at 544
- 8th grade science: Up 12 points to 525
- 4th grade math: Up 23 points to 541
- 8th grade math: Up 17 points to 509
Despite some improvements indicated over the long term, the United States only made statistically significant gains in 4th grade math compared with 2007, when TIMSS was last administered.
Returning to 4th grade science, Iran, Portugal, and Singapore have posted the biggest gains since 1995. (That's out of 20 nations and jurisdictions that had data for both that year and 2011.)
Iran saw the largest bump, 73 points, but with a score of 453, it's still far behind the global TIMSS average. Portugal shot up by 70 points to a score of 522.
As for Singapore, what may surprise some readers is that this nation, now at the top of the global pack on TIMSS (in all grades and subjects), actually trailed the United States by 19 points in 4th grade science back in 1995.
Some of these same changes in TIMSS results caught the eye of the blog over at Change the Equation, a STEM advocacy coalition of corporate CEOs.
"Some might think those high-flying Singaporeans are just wired to be better at science than we are, but our 4th graders outperformed theirs by a pretty wide margin in 1995," Change the Equation notes. "Yet Singapore surged ahead a stunning 60 points in 16 years and left us in the dust."
That said, Singapore's score on 4th grade science in 1995 was something of an outlier at the time for the country, it seems. The island nation was already a top performer in 8th grade science, and has climbed a far more modest 10 points since 1995. Much the same is true for Singapore in math. In fact, its 8th grade score in the subject is statistically the same as 1995, though at 611, it's up at the top of all nations. (Singapore also is a top performer in reading, based on new global data from PIRLS, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study
If Portugal's gains in 4th grade science seemed impressive, the nation did even better in 4th grade math, with an increase of 90 points on TIMSS. That's the biggest increase of any nation and brings its average score up to 532, only 9 points shy of the United States. The next two in line were England, up 58 points to 542statistically no different from the United Statesand Slovenia, gaining 51 points to 513.
Several U.S. states made robust gains in 8th grade math, when comparing results for 1999 with 2011. Foremost was Massachusetts, which increased by 48 points, to 561. North Carolina increased 42 points, and Minnesota 27 points. (For a closer look at state results on both TIMSS and PIRLS, check out this blog post by my colleague Andrew Ujifusa over at State EdWatch.
Sadly, some nations have lost ground over time. One glaring example is Sweden, which has seen its 8th grade math scores plummet by 56 points since 1995, when it actually was above the United States. Sweden also dropped 43 points in 8th grade science. Japan, too, has declined by 11 points in 8th grade math since 2011. The Canadian provinces of Quebec and Alberta also have seen substantial declines of 25 and 22 points respectively. (In the case of Alberta, it outperformed the United States in 1995 but has since fallen behind.) Norway, meanwhile, has dropped 24 points.
Ultimately, Change the Equation finds some reasons for encouragement in the ups and downs revealed in the results over the long haul.
"If there's any lesson in all of this, it's that nationality is not destiny," the group writes on its blog. "Countries can shape their own fate. It's time to dig in to those results and figure out what we should do to shape ours."

Multimedia and law is an emerging and promising field. The increasing use of multimedia in courts, parliaments, ministries and other legal institutions expands the domain of semantic mining tools to legal audio and video repositories.This Workshop aimed at establishing the state of the art in this field. Cross-media knowledge representations and reasoning and navigation tools may be developed and implemented. Semantics may be used to extract, categorize, index, structure and present visual and audio material. Legal ontologies and multimedia ontologies may be aligned and merged. We face new problems like diarization, the link between images and legal knowledge or the connection between emotions and face recognition.

Promoting Coachway stations in a response to a Highways Agency consultation
March 26, 2013 Leave a comment
In February the DfT announced a new consultation to 'Cut red tape to support development near motorways and major 'A' roads.' The press release seemed to focus on removing restrictions on construction near the strategic road network (with the risk of generating unsustainable levels of addition traffic). The consultation document itself was however to be more measured.
We therefore decided to use the opportunity to raise the subject of Coachways and the associated Coachway stations (we being Dr William Clayton and Dr Ben Clark of the Centre for Transport and Society at the University of the West of England, Dr Alan Storkey and myself, Peter Miller of ITO World Ltd).
Having edited the document in response to helpful comments from various parties we invited people to support our response and were very impressed with who did so. We have senior figures from the academic community and from some of the major transport operators. Do please read the response itself (26 meg download).
Subsequently we have also spoken to the Highways Agency today and they seem very open to these ideas, and indeed indicated that express coaches were definitely on their radar. They also told us that they were happy to accept updates to the document for the rest of this week.
As such, if you would like to add your name (and affiliation) as an additional 'supporter' on the response then please email me at 'peter [dot] miller [at] itoworld [dot] com. It would be great to get additional support from all sectors, but especially from transport operators, local government, transport authorities, transport planners and academia.

*Photo shows the amount of food that my Bin and I generally order when we're at a restaurant. This meal is on one of our lighter days.
I've always been an eater and what a good eater I am! Though I don't mind eating alone, I love it more when I have someone to share a meal with. All my good friends love eating as much as I do, although I must say that my immense appetite leaves some of them cold.
My Bin is the only person who comes close to keeping pace with the amount of food I can put away, as well as all the whims that come with it. When I go to a restaurant, especially if it's my first time there, it's not unusual for me to order 10 dishes for us, just to try. Even if we don't lick our plates clean, my Bin and I are the king and queen of take away – we're huge fans of leftovers.
Though I eat more than him (yes, believe it), my Bin's gusto for food makes him an especially treasured eating partner. He's very open-minded and willing to try new things save for one thing: durian, which I adore and he abhors. After 14 years of marriage, I've given up on him ever liking the so-called repugnant fruit.
Another trait of my Bin that makes him my favorite eating partner is that he likes the things I don't particularly care for. I can't stand mousses and fruit salads, both of which are on my list of desserts that I DON'T like. Whenever those things are components of desserts we order, I scrape them off and give them to him. I'm also not hot for meringues, sago, and cooked carrots, but he is so he always gets my share. As for him, my Bin isn't crazy about pie crust, overly doughy things (like thick-crust pizza), the fat (taba) found in bangus belly, and root vegetables like camote and squash, all foods that I'll gladly eat for him.
But what I love the most about my favorite eating partner is that he always gives me the biggest slice, the biggest piece. When we're polishing off a dish and eating like there's no tomorrow, he'll suddenly stop and put his fork down. "It's yours, Lor. I'm done." He does this when he can hear me "audibly testifying" to the deliciousness of the dish with eye-rolls and barely restrained moans. Now that's love.
I wish that all good eaters be blessed with good eating partners.
So tell me: Who is the one person you most love sharing a meal with?
