It's no secret that the Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) Conference has a strong following. The $6,000 tickets for the annual four-day gathering in Long Beach sell out a year in advance, and the speakers and attendees include politicians, entrepreneurs, activists, Nobel laureates, musicians, and Hollywood bigwigs. The brand has long been celebrated for its session style—where presenters speak about global issues, new technology, business, and scientific breakthroughs for no more than 18 minutes—and the engaging talks at its conference. In 2004, author Malcolm Gladwell famously related the invention of chunky spaghetti sauce to human nature at TED, and in 2009, Bill Gates made headlines for releasing mosquitoes whilst speaking about malaria.
But TED's identity has become larger than its original conference, and the big-name guests and captivating presentations are only part of the package. TED's other strengths lie in the innovative ideas publishing entrepreneur Chris Anderson has introduced since taking over the event from founder Richard Saul Wurman in 2001; he now operates it through his nonprofit the Sapling Foundation. Under Anderson's curatorship, the gathering, previously accused of being elitist, has turned outward, incorporating brand extensions and open-source formats to involve a larger audience.
For one, TED started distributing its content for free, posting videos of speakers (dubbed TEDTalks) on its site, iTunes, and YouTube. The viral expansion in 2006 increased the scope of the conference in a big way; to date, there are more than 700 TEDTalks available, which have been viewed more than 350 million times. Moreover, a program allowing volunteers to translate the talks into non-English languages has boosted viewership since launching in 2009. In its first year, traffic from outside the U.S. grew by 350 percent.
"TED's mission is to spread good thinking globally, and so it's high time we began reaching out to the 4.5 billion people on the planet who don't speak English," Anderson said when the project was introduced. "We're excited to be using a bottom-up, open-source approach that will in time allow all our talks to be translated into all the world's languages."
Making the talks accessible prompted a new branch of the brand, TEDx, a concept that enables anyone to host a TED-style gathering. This took the movement and popularity of the conference to a grassroots level.
"The TEDTalks really transformed the TED brand in that it moved it into this global sphere and was no longer just a conference. More and more people started coming to us, asking if they could hold an official TED conference," said Lara Stein, the organization's licensing director, who oversees TEDx. "So Chris and I started experimenting with what it would look like if we sort of gave away our brand in a very open-source way." For the nonprofit's small staff, allowing others to produce spin-offs using TED's concept lets the brand leverage its platform without tripling the workload. "The idea of doing more than two, maybe three conferences a year is about as far as we can take it for us internally producing," Stein says.
To pioneer the venture, TED partnered with the University of Southern California for TEDxUSC, held in March 2009 at a university auditorium. From the experience, Anderson and company were able to refine guidelines for TEDx events but still allow for local themes and speakers. Organizers of such gatherings require a free license and cannot promote any commercial, religious, or political agenda. Stein says the team is still refining rules concerning event programming, marketing, and sponsorship.
"A lot of what I do is listen to the community and try to figure out how to shape the guidelines based on what I hear. It has to be built with a great deal of flexibility, because it's a global program and what works in the slums of Kibera [in Nairobi] doesn't necessarily work in a 600-person venue in Amsterdam or Paris," she says.
A recent addition to the model is TEDxLive, where TEDx events can stream Webcasts. This was available during TEDWomen, the two-day, female-focused convention held in Washington in December, and TED2011, the flagship conference in Long Beach.
This is not the organization's first foray into simulcasting. TED-Active, which grew out of a satellite event in Aspen in 2008 and now takes place yearly in Palm Springs, offers a hybrid format, with live broadcasts of the sessions in Long Beach, as well as on-site activities. More informal than the main conference, TEDActive allows attendees to shape the content, suggesting ideas, hosting discussions, and participating in group workshops.
"Each year we've taken the participation component and really turned up the volume on it. We always try to provide a platform for attendees to organize things," explained TEDActive director Kelly Stoetzel, who is also content director at TED. "This year we're sponsoring a new initiative that takes things a step further, which is the 'Projects' initiative. We have six different themed projects, and attendees can sign on to do one of them." The idea is for attendees to take a theme—such as education, travel, or sustainability—identify a challenge around the topic, and brainstorm active steps that can be taken to meet the challenge.
"At TED we've become a little obsessed with this idea of openness," Anderson said during his presentation at TEDGlobal 2010. "We opened up our talks to the world, and suddenly there are millions of people out there helping spread our speakers' ideas, and thereby making it easier for us to recruit and motivate the next generation of speakers."

There was never doubt USC coach Steve Sarkisian would name Cody Kessler his starting quarterback, but Sarkisian finally made it official Tuesday.
"He's extremely decisive," Sarkisian said of Kessler. "I love his leadership with the players. He can throw the deep ball extremely well."
Max Browne suddenly became the hotter topic in wake of the decision, especially because fellow quarterback Max Wittek already decided to transfer before spring practice and some will assume Browne leaves eventually.
"I'm staying put," Browne said. "I'm here for good."
That obviously could change. Browne said he wants to obtain his degree from USC, which would also allow him to transfer without sitting out if he chose to leave.
In the meantime, he will be the backup unless there is an injury.
"He always can (win the position in the fall)," Sarkisian said. "Every position can. That's the beauty of a place like USC. Guys come because they want to be the best."
Sarkisian cited quarterbacks from the past like Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, John David Booty and Mark Sanchez as examples for Browne. But none of them ever lost their jobs once they were anointed by former coach Pete Carroll.
"It's always realistic (Browne could win the job) because you never know," Sarkisian said. "Random injuries occur. When you get an opportunity, it's about what you do with the opportunity."
Kessler took the news in stride, fully aware he was the overwhelming choice to win the job.
"(Sarkisian said) said I've done a great job this spring but said, 'I'm not going to take it easy on you.' It feels great to win the job, but the season is a long way away," Kessler said. "I'm excited about the news. I'm going to take it and run with it."
One factor Sarkisian cited was Kessler's ability to "take less sacks" than Browne. He also cited Kessler's athleticism, which is ironic because at the beginning of spring drills the play book was trimmed to eliminate plays that required the quarterbacks to rely on athleticism.
Safe decision
Sarkisian took the low-risk approach by naming Kessler the starter. Kessler started 14 games last season and Browne's never taken a snap in a college game. There was simply too much ground to make up in only 13 practices.
"I guess I was hoping it would go into the summer," Browne said. "I felt I made huge strides this spring. I've shown flashes of great down-field accuracy."
It would have been a huge decision for Sarkisian to name Browne the starter for the season opener against Fresno State, especially after Kessler passed for 345 yards and four touchdowns against the Bulldogs in the Las Vegas Bowl.
The third-string quarterback will be freshman Jalen Greene, who graduated early from Serra High School of Gardena and enrolled at USC in January.
Familiar faces
Former USC quarterback Mitch Mustain, tailback Silas Redd and defensive tackle George Uko attended practice. Redd holds his Pro Day for NFL teams on April 22 after missing USC's Pro Day in March because of a knee injury. Defensive end Morgan Breslin is also expected to participate.

Plan would transform Bedford's old Wayfarer Inn site into apartments, restaurants, storesBy SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent
November 05. 2013 9:29PM
BEDFORD - The former Wayfarer Inn property on South River Road is slated for transformation into an apartment complex, restaurants and retail stores.
The plan is to divide the property at 121 South River Road - next to Macy's and the Bedford Mall - into two parcels. One parcel will contain a four-story, 72-unit apartment building, a 5,872-square-foot sit-down restaurant and a 4,000-square-foot fast food restaurant. The other parcel will be used for a 2,900-square-foot bank and two connecting stores of 40,000 square feet and 11,000 square feet.
The Planning Board is scheduled to review the conceptual plan Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. in the Bedford Meeting Room at 10 Meetinghouse Road.
Engineers TFMoran of Bedford submitted the plan to the town's planning department on Oct. 3 on behalf of property owner Jiten Management of Brockton, Mass. Jeff Kevan, of TFMoran, said no tenants have been finalized.
The initial plan was to raze the John Goffe's mill - a structure incorporated into the inn - but because of its historic value, the building will remain, Kevan said.
The property dates back to 1744, when John Goffe, one of the earliest settlers of Bedford, built and operated a series of mills along Bowman Brook. The John Goffe's mill was reconstructed by a descendent, George Woodbury, in 1939. Woodbury rehabilitated the old iron turbine originally installed in 1845 and produced lumber, flour, feed, toys and furniture. The Wayfarer Inn opened in 1962 and closed about five years ago.
"We're saving the mill building and leaving the dams. They will remain intact," Kevan said. Bowman Brook, which bisects the property, has two dams. A dilapidated footbridge from the former hotel to the convention center and a section of hotel span the brook. The property has a 7-foot culvert that is now crumbling.
A path and a walkway will be incorporated into the plan to feature the brook. The plan will take wetlands into consideration, with use of required 50-foot setbacks and retaining walls.
Kevan met with some resistance at the Conservation Commission's Oct. 22 meeting regarding preserving the natural features of the property and wetland setbacks.
Planning Board liaison Hal Newberry said most of the proposed buildings appear to turn their backs on the brook, and asked if the developer would consider featuring the water. Kevan indicated that the apartments could face the brook, but the plans are still conceptual.
The applicant is also expected to request some setback and wetland, pavement, parking and off-site sign waivers.

QIYAN COMMUNITY, China (AP) — After her husband started making good money as an electrician here in central China, Cao Qin ended years of working as a migrant laborer hundreds of kilometers (miles) away and came back home to better care for their school-age boy.
But Cao, 30, didn't return to the family's rugged adobe home in the hills. Instead, they all moved into a new third-floor apartment in this planned community of Qiyan that has been going up in a valley in southern Shaanxi province over the past couple of years as a new home for villagers scattered throughout nearby mountains.
Shops, markets, health clinics, the boy's school and government offices are all within walking distance or a short motorcycle ride — a stark contrast from before for Cao.
"It always felt far away. I think it took me two hours on foot to come to the nearest town," said Cao, one of the newest residents among the neat rows of white-and-gray townhomes and apartment blocks of Qiyan Community. "We are very satisfied."
Originally started as a disaster resettlement in 2010, the newly minted community has since been swept into China's massive push to move millions of country folk into more urban settings to improve access to services and to shift from a factory-based economy to a consumer-driven, service-oriented one.
But there is one big problem: For most families there is no work here, meaning that most of the region's working-age people, as before, travel elsewhere for jobs. Some families are still holding out in the mountains because they can't afford the new apartments and don't have enough flexibility in how to use — let alone sell — the land they would leave behind.
China has no private land ownership, and rural lands are owned by village collectives. Mountain villager Huang Tianbing is locked into a farm collective deal arranged by local officials that involves subleasing his land for a tea tree business and caring after the trees. He said he only makes about $350 a year from the arrangement.
"We can hardly make a living and have no means to move out," Huang said, sitting near the door to his adobe home up on a hill, a vegetable garden behind him.
Scholars argue that successful urbanization requires a reform of China's rural collectives and land laws to give farmers like Huang more opportunities for success.
China's Communist Party leaders huddled in a high-level plenum in Beijing are expected to discuss these kinds of reform during consultations through Tuesday, with more comprehensive plans to be rolled out by year's end.
Beijing sees urbanization as China's next biggest engine for economic growth, with plans to turn 300 million rural folks into urban dwellers by 2030 — equivalent to relocating nearly the entire population of the United States.
"Imagine their demands as they become urbanized. That's unprecedented in human history," said Hu Angang, a professor at the School of Public Policy & Management at Tsinghua University. "We are turning urbanization from the biggest potential for consumption into the biggest drive for consumption."
China's urbanization first picked up pace with market reforms in the early 1980s. By 2011, half the country's population had moved into cities, but a rigid, decades-old household registration system that assigns either urban or rural status under the old planned economy created a new class of second-class people: rural laborers working in cities.
A recent study by Tsinghua University shows that only 27.6 percent of the country's people have urban status with full claims to public urban services, while hundreds of millions of city dwellers with the rural status have limited education, health and pension benefits.
China's second wave of relocation must be more equitable to avoid the kind of social instability that the country's leaders loathe, and Premier Li Keqiang has vowed a "new type" of urbanization, with plans to close the gap between rural and urban residents.
"The key this time is to integrate the countryside with cities and to equalize basic public services," said Hu of Tsinghua University.
Scholars warn that, if ill-managed, the rapid transformation could be China's next Great Leap Forward — the 1958-61 period when an overzealous industrialization campaign squandered resources, collectivized farming, destroyed the environment and ended in famine.
The efforts so far have been uneven. Land grabs by local officials have sparked violent conflicts with rural residents, and huge "ghost city" neighborhoods have been built with few residents moving in so far. Scholars also fret that the rapid urbanization could exacerbate already bad air and water pollution and severely strain local governments tasked with providing public services.
In Qiyan Community, government workers are busy helping about 200 new families adjust to their new lifestyle.
They're showing the newcomers that garbage should be deposited in bags to be collected, posting notices asking the residents not to let their kids pee in public, and have been trying — with little success — to stipulate that backyards are for flower beds, not cabbage patches.
The town eventually is expected to house 6,000 residents from nearby remote villages, and so far its demographics still resemble those of the rural communities it seeks to replace: mostly old people, women and small children, and hardly any young or middle-aged men — who are all working elsewhere.
The cost of living is higher here than in the mountains, and eventually there must be a more thriving local economy for the community to be viable in the long term.
The mountainous terrain is not conducive to industrialization, but the local government is hoping for a robust tea tree industry, Qiyan Community director Huang Feng said. Other ideas include raising pigs, growing walnuts, building vegetable gardens, and attracting big city tourists to Qiyan's mountain scenery and fresh air.
Cao, the former migrant worker, has embraced the new consumerism that the government is hoping for. She's decked out her new pad with golden wallpaper, a dark wood floor, Nordic-style furniture and pots of flowers. A large flat-screen television hangs from a living room wall.
A few streets away, Huang Yingzhi, 61, welcomes visitors into a barely furnished apartment and places cups of tea on the bare concrete floor. The walls have become a doodling board for a granddaughter left in his and his wife's care.
"We were once tea farmers, but now we have no work," said Huang, who moved into Qiyan during its first phase, when it provided housing for farmers who lost homes in catastrophic mudslides with direct subsidy and no-interest loans.
"We have no one but our children to rely on," said Huang, who has borrowed 100,000 yuan ($16,425) for the new home.
All his three sons and a daughter are away from home working as migrant workers. One of the daughters, Huang Haiyan, works in a factory in Shanghai, more than 1,125 kilometers (700 miles) away, but recently hurried home when her mother was hit by a cargo truck and was hospitalized.
"Life is definitely easier here, but there are not enough jobs to provide incomes," she said.

Loyola biology students use hissing cockroaches, scorpions to teach
Loyola press release - November 30, 2012
Giant swallowtail caterpillars avoid getting eaten because they look like bird poop sitting on a leaf. That's just one of the fun facts a team of 15 Loyola University New Orleans biology students shared with children at Holy Ghost Elementary School Nov. 15 and 29. The Loyola students brought the caterpillars along with animals ranging from scorpions and tarantulas to Madagascar hissing cockroaches and millipedes as real-life teaching aids for the elementary students.
While the children learned about interesting critters and how to properly handle them, the larger lesson was why animals are important to a healthy ecosystem—and their everyday lives, according to event organizer Loyola biology visiting assistant professor Aimée K. Thomas, Ph.D. Both teaching days aimed to engage the kindergarten through eighth grade students in science at an early age.
More than just teaching lessons to elementary school children, the day was also an opportunity to reinforce the knowledge the Loyola students garnered in class. "In order to teach it, you have to understand it," Thomas said.

Coming Out
One of the first steps to coming out is self-acceptance. Understanding who you are, and being proud of it can be a process that takes a long time to realize. Acknowledging for the first time that you are lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, or questioning can be very frightening. You may be afraid to admit these feelings or may deny them completely. Most likely, they will come up again. It can be a difficult time, and the process to accepting yourself can be very challenging. Societal pressures, family roles, one's own beliefs around what it means to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning, and fears about what this all means for you and your future can feel overwhelming. Educating yourself about what it means to be LGBT or Q, the challenges one faces, gaining support from educational resources and exploring your own feelings can all be very helpful in this process. Once you are able to understand your identity and accept yourself, it usually feels like a relief. The inner struggle is over and pride and acceptance can begin.
Who do i share this with?
The next question after self-acceptance is "who do I share this with?" As a college student struggling with issues of sexuality because can be very challenging because of fears of people's reactions. There are many decisions that have to be made when disclosing your sexual orientation or identity to family, friends and loved ones. Coming out is not a one-time event. It is a process and can be life-long. You have to choose whom to come out to, why, when and finally, how. The following are questions to consider when coming out.
How close is this person to you? Is it important to you that they know?
Decide how trustworthy this person is before you tell him/her. As much as it may be important to tell people about your sexual orientation or gender/identity, you need to be aware of possible reactions they might have. The more you know someone and the more you trust them, the better you will be at anticipating their reaction. Likewise, it's comforting to know that those closest to you and those who are the most important people in your life, are the people you share this information with first.
How might this person react? What should i say?
Although you can never know for sure how someone will react to your coming out, if you know him or her well, you will probably have a good idea as to how they might respond, then you can decide how you might tell them. For instance, if you think someone might be very shocked initially, but overall, okay with the news, you may want to test the waters here and there, and drop subtle hints so they might begin to think it could be a possibility. Another suggestion is to start a discussion about someone whom you know to be gay, i.e., a celebrity like Ellen. This would allow you to learn how they feel about homosexuality or gender identity. But definitely make sure it is in a confidential setting, that you trust this person, and know that you'll have their undivided attention for a good period of time.
Parents may react very differently to your coming out than friends or other relatives for many reasons. Just as you want them to understand where you are coming from, it may be helpful if you understand where they are coming from as well. Just as it has been a process for you, it will be a process for them too. They may not be one hundred percent accepting at first, but with time, patience and communication, hopefully, they will come to understand.
Your parents probably come from a time when homosexuality was considered deviant behavior, even a sin. And some people still hold those beliefs today. This all stems from misperceptions of homosexuality. So if your parents react negatively, they are probably shocked and responding based on these past faulty perceptions. Education and awareness may help to dissipate some of the feelings or opinions they may have.
Parents also want to protect their children. Remember when you were younger and your parents became angry with you when you frightened them? For example, when you got lost in a store, or came home late? Most likely they were mad at you because they wanted to teach you not to do things that would put your safety at risk. Coming out to them could initiate the same kind of response. Parents may react with anger because there are afraid of the backlash that you may experience in today's society with hate crimes and discrimination being so prevalent. Again, giving them information about homosexuality could help ease their fears. Most fears around coming out to parents stem from fear of abandonment. You may be worrying that your parents will reject you or throw you out of the house. Most times, however, this doesn't happen. It is very difficult for a parent to stop loving their child and completely reject them. And although these extreme cases do occur, in time parents can come to a better place of acceptance.
Why come out?
There are many different reasons why people decide to come out to others. One of the main reasons is that it is very difficult to live a dual life and have those closest to you not know who you really are. Some just can't stand to live with the secret anymore and it becomes imperative to share this information with people who are close to them.
Some people come out by simply answering "yes" if/when someone asks if they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Others decide whom it is that they want to share this information with and tell them privately. There are some things to consider when deciding whether or not to tell someone. The most important thing to remember is to give yourself time to process all the emotions that go along with coming out — It is not an easy decision and it's okay to take your time, to be nervous, or to be apprehensive.
"Almost everyone I know has had a better experience coming out than they thought they would."
– Barney Frank, U.S. Congressman
Who could I talk to for advice and support?
- You might want to consider talking to a friend or relative who already does know, and get some feedback from them. If they are not gay themselves, they might be able to tell you how to approach someone, and get feedback from them as to what someone who is not gay might be thinking when they hear the news.
- Talking with a counselor is also a good idea if you are struggling with who to tell or how to tell them.
- You can also contact a hotline that could answer questions you have about coming out, or homosexuality in general. One such number is the Gay and Lesbian National Hotline: 1-888-THE-GLNH

Restrictions imposed on Chicago mob boss Joseph "Joey the Clown" Lombardo at the North Carolina federal prison where he's serving a life sentence amount to elder abuse, his lawyers contend in a court filing.
Lombardo, 84, was among three reputed mob bosses and two alleged henchmen convicted in September 2007 at the landmark Operation Family Secrets trial which lifted the curtain of secrecy from the seamy operations of Chicago's underworld. He was sentenced to life in prison for serving as a leader of Chicago's organized crime family and the murder of government witness.
His attorneys contend in a Dec. 23 filing that he was subjected to "elder abuse" when authorities placed him under "special administrative measures," restricting his access to mail, phone and visitors.
"The imposition of these draconian conditions against an 84-year-old, chronically ill, wheelchair-user can only be an attempt to appear 'tough on crime' by engaging in 'elder abuse' against a man who once had a reputation (deserved or not) as a major player in the Chicago 'Mob,'" his attorneys wrote. They claim, "extra-judicial punishment and administrative overreach."
Lombardo is held at the federal prison medical facility in Butner, N.C.
The government responded on Friday, requesting Lombardo's motion be dismissed because it should have been filed in North Carolina, not Chicago. The government also argues that Lombardo can't go to court until he goes through all other administrative remedies.

Put me in the mix and I'll do the rest - Alonso
- Drivers:
- Fernando Alonso
- Teams:
- Ferrari
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso insists he is in better form this year than he was 12 months ago and says all he needs to mount a successful title bid is a car within striking distance of his rivals.
Despite being 1.6 second off the pace in qualifying at the start of last year, Alonso managed to come within three points of the drivers' title by the end of the season. He thinks he is in even better form this time round and says all he needs is a car capable of getting in the mix.
"I am better than last year, but also it is true that I need a better car than last year because we were too far from the leaders," he said on Sky Sports News. "I expect the team to have a better car, but me and Felipe [Massa] do not ask to be half a second in front of everybody - two tenths behind everyone will be all right."
He said he is more motivated this year after Ferrari's stronger showing in pre-season testing.
"Always you can improve and I am ready to do so," he added. "Last year was the best year of my career and I was very happy with the performance but I think we will do better because I have prepared better and I am more motivated than last year."

CAIRO (AP) — A court in Egypt's second-largest city sentenced two supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi to death on Saturday for throwing two people off the roof of a building during violent protests after the Islamist president was ousted, according to Egypt's state news agency.
The agency said the court in Alexandria found the men guilty of murdering a child and a young man in the coastal city during mass protests that demanded Morsi's reinstatement after he was removed from power by the military.
The roof incident happened July 5 of last year, two days after Morsi's ouster. It was one of the most dramatic acts of violence on a day in which 16 other people were killed in Alexandria.
Judge Sayed Abdel-Latif said he would issue the verdict against another 60 defendants charged with violence that day in another two months. It was not clear why the ruling was split into two.
One of those killed was nine-year-old Hamada Badr, who witnesses including an Associated Press journalist said was stabbed and then thrown off the roof. Another man in his twenties was hurled to his death and Morsi supporters were seen beating his lifeless body.
The father of the nine-year old said the verdict was partial vindication.
"But I want all the Brotherhood leadership tried and sentenced to death," said Badr Hassouna.
Video footage of the incidents was repeatedly aired on national TV. It also showed one of the defendants roaming the roof raising a black flag often used by Islamic militants.
Another 12 people were killed elsewhere in Egypt that day in clashes sparked when tens of thousands of enraged Morsi supporters took to the street after a Muslim Brotherhood leader called on "defending" the ousted Islamist president who was then in military custody.
The violence set the tone for months to come. Authorities have since intensified a crackdown on Morsi supporters and dispersed protests in which over 1,000 were killed and thousands others were detained.
Last week, a court sentenced 529 Islamists to death for killing a policeman in the province of Minya, south of Cairo. Morsi and most of the Muslim Brotherhood leadership are detained, facing trials on charges ranging from murder to incitement of violence to conspiring with foreign groups to destabilize Egypt.
Almost no official has been held accountable for the killing of protesters. The government has declared the Brotherhood a terrorist group and blames it for waging a campaign of violence in Egypt.
Meanwhile, attacks on troops and police have increased, leaving hundreds dead. The Brotherhood denies it is behind the campaign of violence.
Also Saturday, airport officials said a Brotherhood leader arrested in Kuwait at Cairo's behest was extradited to Egypt for prosecution.
Mohammed el-Qabouti is wanted for trial on suspicion he incited violence against authorities last summer. The handover of el-Qabouti is the first reported case of Cairo's Gulf allies arresting and extraditing members of the Brotherhood to Egypt. Authorities reported his arrest in Kuwait earlier this month.
Following Saturday's verdict, defendants in a cage in court raised the four-finger sign, a symbol of defiance associated with Morsi supporters. Families were not allowed into the court, and had to wait outside amid tight security.
Eight months after Morsi's ouster, his supporters still protest, often sparking clashes on the streets with security forces or political opponents.
In the latest bout of violence Friday, five people were killed including a young female journalist who was shot in the head.
Four others were shot in the head and the chest, Hisham Abdel Hamid, spokesman of the forensic authority told CBC-TV Saturday. Protesters on the scene said they were attacked without warning by police with live ammunition. But the ministry of Interior said the slain were killed by protesters who carried weapons.
One of those killed was a Christian woman. Security officials said protesters pulled her out of her car when they spotted a cross inside. She was then shot, the officials said quoting witnesses. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Elsewhere on Saturday, at least eight people were killed in explosion in a house where fuel was being stored for sale on the black market, the head of security in the southern province of Sohag, Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Saber said. It was not immediately clear what caused the blast, which wounded 64 people, including 25 who were in critical condition, Saber said.
Egypt is reeling from a shortage of fuel products, increasing hoarding and illegal sales.

Parents, school officials support new playgroundBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 07. 2013 10:55PM
EPPING - Playtime is just as important as academics when it comes to younger kids. That was the message from voters who spoke in favor of a $181,246 proposal to build a new playground at Epping Elementary School at Thursday night's school deliberative session.
Voters made no changes to the five proposed articles, sending them to the school warrant for a vote at the polls on March 12.
The new playground generated the most discussion as parents and school officials urged voters to support the proposal that would have no tax impact as it would be funded through impact fees.
School board Chairman Dave Mylott said the elementary school playground built in the late 1980s isn't big enough to accommodate the students and doesn't offer as much "active play" as the new one. Recess typically involves 80 to 150 students, but the playground can only hold about 30 to 40 students at a time. As many as 200 students could fit on the new playground, he said.
The playground also serves the recreation department and is open to the community when school isn't in session.
Parent Andrea loving, who has three children at the elementary school, said the playground is needed not only for the school but the community as well. She formed a group called Friends of Epping a few years ago and tried to push a plan to build a new park but found it too challenging due to funding and other issues.
"The kids in this community deserve a place to play and we really don't have a place to play at this time," she said.
Budget committee member Paul Spidle was the only one from his board to oppose the plan. He said he wasn't against the playground, but the method of funding. The impact fees should be used for infrastructure improvements.
"In my mind, that money could be better spent on the buildings and not on the playground," he said.
Voters had little to say about the proposed $17.3 million school budget and a proposed two-year contract for paraprofessionals that seeks an additional $36,578 in the 2013-14 school year and $35,705 in 2014-15 to cover pay raises and benefit increases.

i think seeing this type of information would help a person determine if they want to participate in a particular TO's tournament, better than any rating system would do. think of it as CC's version of the Better Business Bureau, without the grading. my 2 cents.
As far as that goes, I would like to at least see some tags be able to be used because Some TOs send PMs. Some will send you follow up PMs with additional tournaments that they run. Some start games quickly. Some leave the tournaments sit for a bit. It's good to know that information as a player.
yes, exactly
I agree but I don't think it'd deter my interest in joining the tourney. If you set up a pretty fun looking one and I'm down for some add'l games, I'm not going to avoid it just because you aren't the best TO.
I still like the idea though.

Episode 1: So just like the previous series, this sequel is divided into seperate story arcs each focusing on Junichi and another character. In the first two episodes, we start off with the Tsukasa Ayatsuji arc. It goes directly from the original so yes, they are technically dating now. First episode involves lots of drama involving running for the student president/vice president. The artwork is roughly the same as the previous along with the music. I love the drama in this for some reason thou lol. Will be continuing watching
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Poor Rihoko. No bio?
I honestly can't wait for this sequel.
My Jumbo Jet Flies Cheerfully.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Been waiting for this series. What an interesting start to this sequel. I won't say who it started off with but it's already getting interesting =D. I really look forward to rest of the girls' arc. AIC really stepped up on the ecchiness a bit but doesn't matter.
L, school drama:
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
too bad we probably won't see Amagami SS on Cr...
mad at the world that chooses morality over reason and logic
Well, given that CR pulled out a couple of surprises (and possibly three, depending on your viewpoint) this season, I am getting more hesitant to rule shows out.
But if anyone gets it as a simulcast, it would probably be Sentai (as they already have the first series), and as they have already started rolling that out at TAN, getting the second series as an exclusive simulcast would be natural.
Yes, that's my real age
Episode 2 concludes the first arc. Was alrite althought a bit predictable:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Rihoko Sakurai's arc [email protected]@@

So, I wonder if Risa Kamizaki will be in this one.... despite how she went about things, I honestly like her the most out of all the female characters.
My top 4 are
1. Risa Kamizaki
2. Tsukasa Ayatsuji (I still question myself as to why she is my 2nd fav but.... oh well)
3. Sae Nakata
4. Kaoru Tanamachi
Looking forward to Rihoko's. I didn't like how it "ended" in the first season.
I like the idea of a continuation of the budding relationships and not a hard reboot of the series. I'm still saddened that it's only 12 episodes.
Living with the Parum of manliness, mennnnn!!

Doubt it although I think she might make a cameo appearance since she was only in the special episode in the original. Since there are only 12 episodes and 6 main girls, two episodes are most likely be focused on each. Risa might make an appearance if there's an OVA thou

omg i spazed the 1st 3 mins of the episode 1 lmao

I was thinking of checking this show out, but I never saw the first series. Is this this the kind of series where it isn't really worth it to watch the sequel if I haven't seen the original? I realize it may be hard to make that judgement this early on, but I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me if I should bother trying to watch it.
My thoughts, never to be erased. My pain, never to be forgotten.

INTERCOURSE, Pa. (AP) — A century-old Pennsylvania grocery store featured in the Harrison Ford movie "Witness" has closed its doors.
The owner of W.L. Zimmerman & Sons says in a letter to customers that she made the "difficult and heart-breaking decision" to shutter the business due to competition.
The shop in Intercourse was featured in several scenes of the 1985 drama about a Philadelphia police detective who hides out with an Amish family.
The Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era (http://bit.ly/1dWrsZz ) reports tourists would often take pictures on the store's porch, where Ford was filmed using a pay phone.
Owner Kris Shirk says in her letter that "it takes more than nostalgia to keep a business going."
The store opened in 1909 and closed on March 28.

A user on Reddit made it possible for hundreds if not thousands to virtually cut in line for pre-sale tickets to the 2015 edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday.
An advance batch of tickets for both weekends of the 2015 music festival went on sale Friday at 10 a.m. Many waited for more than an hour only to find that the tickets quickly sold out.
At the same time, some users did not have to wait in line at all thanks to a link posted on Reddit by a user named "rsy510." That link allowed others to go straight to the purchase page for the first weekend of Coachella 2015. Later, another user posted a direct link to the purchase page for Weekend 2 in the same thread started by rsy510.
As a result, rsy510 was held as a hero among his Reddit peers.
"Are you going to set up a booth so we can shake your hand? Many things are possible," one user said.
"My brother and I thank you. Stop by our campsite for copious drugs and beer," another Reddit user posted.
"DUDE, for real, post of the year. Can we all agree on a meetup place on April 10th to shower this man with beer?" another user said.
At the same time, some are blaming rsy510 for causing them to wait in line for so long, often in vain.
"Someone on Reddit had a link to bypass the @coachella standby page. Now tickets are sold out. #fail," a Twitter user said.
"If you didn't get your Coachella tickets, you can thank this guy #reddit," another Twitter user said with a link to rsy510's Reddit post.
"Well @coachella I waited on standby for 2hrs & prayed I would get tickets, unfortunately when I finally got thru they were all gone!" said another user on Twitter.
In the comments on his post, rsy510 called his actions "immoral" but said that he has had terrible experiences trying to get tickets to past Coachella festivals.
"Being at the losing end of purchasing tickets for the past couple years, I'm going to share this with other people," rsy510 said. "These bypass links have probably been going on for years. I've definitely had my share of waiting in line for an hour only leading me to purchase tickets from a scalper for above face value."
Goldenvoice, the promoter behind the music festival, could not be reached for comment.
Coachella 2015 will be held April 10-12 and once again on April 17-19. More tickets to the festival are expected to go on sale early next year.

You no longer need someone's email address to send them an email. At least, that will soon be the case if you want to email another Google+ user. A new Gmail "feature" will let you simply type in anyone's name into Gmail's "to" field and send them an email. Google announced the new Google+ integration on its Gmail blog today, but company representatives have clarified to The Verge that - by default - anyone on its social network will be able to send messages to your Gmail inbox.
It's opt-out; so it's enabled by default. I don't think Google has ever had a more stupid idea than this. This is just all-around bad - no ifs, no buts, nothing. You must be completely brain-dead to think that implementing this "feature" is in any way, shape, or form, a good idea.
I'll be turning this off right away - I don't want random internet people emailing me any more than they already do. Equally idiotic, when you start typing a name in Gmail's to/cc fields, it will autocomplete to Google+ usernames. I have no idea if you can turn this brain fart off.
I don't like Google+, I don't want Google+ - I just want it to go away. Please.

Danny Cahill became the latest person to win The Biggest Loser, when he dropped 239 lbs. in 7 months. NBC has now introduced the latest cast to participate is the couples edition of the series.
This new season, set to premier on January 5, is the heaviest cast ever with one of the contestants weighing an astonishing 526 lbs. The 526 lbs man is Michael Ventrella, a 30-year-old DJ from Chicago, who will be participating with his mother, Maria Ventrella, a 51-year-old corporate travel agent.
"I would do anything for Michael," mom Maria, weighing in at 281 lbs., told PEOPLE. "At first I didn't think I could do it because I have too many responsibilities at home. I have a husband who is disabled, my mom in a wheelchair, a full-time job, home cleaning — it's a lot. But then he needed it so bad and so I am here, and I need it for myself, too!"
NBC is already starting to feel the heat as many are criticizing them for having such an obese man as a cast member. Critics believe the extent of activity the cast has to go through might be dangerous for some of the more obese cast members. "I'm waiting for the first person to have a heart attack," said Dr. Charles Burant, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan telling the NY Times in a recent article. "I have had some patients who want to do the same thing, and I counsel them against it," Dr. Burant said. "I think the show is so exploitative. They are taking poor people who have severe weight problems whose real focus is trying to win the quarter-million dollars."
The show is set to return January 5th on NBC as the contestants will be competing for the grand prize of $250,000 or $100,000 at-home prize. Host Alison Sweeney and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels are all set to return to The Biggest Loser: Couples.

GREENSBURG, Ind. (AP) — Authorities say four people died when a small plane crashed as it was approaching a southeastern Indiana airport in foggy, misty conditions.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the crash happened Sunday evening about a mile south of the Greensburg Municipal Airport. All on board were killed. The FAA says the plane had been cleared to approach the airport but never arrived.
The plane apparently crashed in a field, then went down a steep hill before stopping in a wooded area. Greensburg police Capt. Bill Meyerrose said the weather hampered the search for the wreckage, which wasn't found for about four hours.
The victims were two Greensburg couples. Meyerrose identified them as 46-year-old Donald P. Horan, 44-year-old Barbara L. Horan, 45-year-old Stephen A. Butz and 42-year-old Denise L. Butz.

The project focused on the development and testing of three advanced geochemical and geomechanical simulation modules which increase the accuracy of simulating CO2 behavior in coals and shales. These modules address coal storage factors such as coal failure and permeability enhancement, matrix swelling and shrinking, and competition with water as an adsorbed phase on coals. These enhancements provide better means to predict geologic CO2 storage volumes.
Project Benefits
The focus of this project was on the technical/economic feasibility and application potential of carbon storage in coal seams. It has improved our understanding of carbon storage capacity estimation in coal seams, which contributes to better storage solutions for reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. A special feature of Coal-Seq III is the development of improved simulation capability for injecting and storing CO2 in gas shales. This will enable investigators to better evaluate this abundant, poorly understood CO2 storage option, with a particular emphasis on the Appalachian Basin.

County Receives Snowmobile Trail Grant Funds
Little Valley - Nine area snowmobile clubs that maintain trails in Cattaraugus County will benefit from annual snowmobile registration fees collected by New York State. New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation recently awarded Cattaraugus County, the municipal sponsor, $122,050.00 in funding to help improve and maintain the over 400 miles of funded snowmobile trails in Cattaraugus County.
The registration fees paid by snowmobilers provide the funding to perpetuate a statewide system of trails thereby requiring no use of taxpayer funds. "Registrations of snowmobiles were down earlier in the season due to weather, but numbers quickly rebounded," said Crystal Abers, Chair of the County Legislature. Ms. Abers also thanked the Department of Economic Development, Planning & Tourism personnel as well as Daniel Martonis, GIS Coordinator, for taking the lead to provide marketing and GIS mapping support for the program. The department once again ensured that every snowmobiler in New York State, that is a club member, received the Cattaraugus County Snowmobile Map by having the map inserted into the November issue of New York Snowmobiler. As of March 1st, statewide registrations totaled 124,218 with 98,755 registered as club members. James Griffith, County Clerk, reported that 3,563 sleds were registered through the County DMV offices in the 2006-2007 season. Cattaraugus County had 2,203 sleds registered for the 2005-2006 season and we do not yet have the final number of Cattaraugus County registered sleds for this year.

... businesses scattered throughout the County benefit from visitor spending -
"The key to the snowmobile trail program in New York is that it is part of a comprehensive system that includes funding for a Statewide Insurance Policy, Snowmobile Safety Courses, Law Enforcement, Groomer Training Courses and Trail Maintenance Grants" stated Thomas M. Livak, Director of Economic Development, Planning & Tourism. "This interconnected trail system is the result of thousands of hours of volunteer labor and cooperation of countless landowners," said Mr. Livak. Jerry Burrell, Chairman of the Development & Agriculture Committee commented, "An updated snowmobiling brochure was again printed and distributed this year providing free trail maps to visitors which in addition, identifies numerous small businesses along the trail that offer snowmobilers assorted services. Small businesses scattered throughout the County benefit from visitor spending. Signed snowmobile trails can be found in virtually every township in the County and many Villages as well." Jim Boser, Vice of Chair of the Development & Ag. Committee, pointed out the fact that, "Snowmobiling is a growing family sport that provides a great quality of life for local residents while also attracting outside visitors to the area. In fact there has been a noticeable increase in family groups riding here in Cattaraugus County this year."
Representatives from the Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, Inc. attended a special ceremony today in the Cattaraugus County legislative chambers to accept the grant award from the County Legislature. The Cattaraugus County Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, Inc. comprised of representation from all nine active snowmobile clubs in the County, prepared the initial grant application on behalf of the County and will handle distribution of the funds to all nine clubs receiving funding this year. The Federation President Jim Lemke, NYSSA Director and Federation Trail Coordinator, Sheri Webster, Federation Treasurer, Cathy Hill and Federation Secretary, Lisa Foster, along with countless other volunteers coordinated this lengthy process whereby all the clubs access trail funding through one municipal sponsor (Cattaraugus County). Jim Lemke stressed the fact that credit for the over 400 mile trail system goes first and foremost to the landowners for their cooperation, without which, none of this would be possible. "The intent of the statewide system is to keep snowmobilers on clearly designated trails rather than on lands where their use is not permitted," he said. The statewide insurance policy provides protection for those landowners that participate in the approved trail system.
... there has been a noticeable increase in family groups riding here in Cattaraugus County ... -
The Department of Economic Development, Planning & Tourism again assisted the Snowmobile Federation in securing trail grant funding from NYS Parks. Thomas Livak, Department Director, explained the importance of growing tourism niche markets like snowmobiling. The statewide inter-connected trail system (currently over 10,000 miles) promotes "snowmobile touring" which is a growing activity among snowmobiling enthusiasts. Snowmobiling has become more of a touring activity where enthusiasts ride 100 to 200 miles per day spending substantial amounts of money on fuel, food and lodging which also means sales tax revenues for the County. Snowmobilers are known for driving long distances to reach key destinations in Canada, the Adirondacks and New England, but Western New York offers an excellent close convenient option. Snowmobiling has become a major economic engine for some communities already with daily expenditures reaching $100 per snowmobiler. For more information on Snowmobiling in the Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County contact Cattaraugus County Tourism at 1-800-331-0543 or visit our website at www.EnchantedMountains.info.
Remember: Please ride safe and ride with respect. Please consider joining a snowmobile club in your area. It is through the hard work of these volunteer-based not-for-profit groups that residents and visitors alike have access to such a great network of trails.
Enjoy snowmobiling in the Enchanted Mountains!
Snowmobile Clubs Receiving Trail Grant Funds include:
|Ashford Snowmobile Club, Inc.
|Elibomwons, Inc.
|Enchanted Mountain Snowmobile Club, Inc.
|Franklinville Snowsled Club, Inc.
|Portville Snowmobile Club, Inc.
|Snow Bounders, Inc.

It's this year's biggest technology acquisition and the largest outbound deal in Japan's history. But game-changing, it is not.
Softbank Corp's <9984.T> pricey $20 billion bid to buy control of No. 3 U.S. telecoms company Sprint Nextel Corp marks a bold move by billionaire CEO Masayoshi Son beyond his flagging home market. Some analysts say it hands the U.S. company much-needed firepower to buy peers and build out high-speed networks.
Continue Reading Below
But if Son succeeds, Sprint will still struggle to win customers in a market dominated by the twin towers of the U.S. mobile landscape - Verizon Communications Inc and AT&T Inc - while T-Mobile and MetroPCS Communications Inc move to team up. That market dynamic will persist, analysts say.
Son, an unusually aggressive risk-taker in a cautious Japanese corporate culture who brought the iPhone to Japan, may still have more surprises up his sleeve, but analysts do not believe that the Sprint deal by itself can undermine the two U.S. market leaders' virtually unassailable position.
"Getting the technology out there is just getting you to the table," said Phillip Redman, analyst at research firm Gartner.
It will take more than the iPhone and a technology upgrade to improve Sprint's position, he said. Its brand value had dropped despite good work-around plans and pricing, partly because of its weak competitive position.
Under the agreement - which awaits regulatory and shareholder approval - Softbank will buy about 70 percent of Sprint Nextel for $20.1 billion.
Combined, the two will have 96 million users. But that includes Japanese subscribers and lags the almost 108 million subscribers Verizon had in 2011 and AT&T's more than 103 million, according to data from IHS iSuppli.
"It doesn't change the landscape too much, in that this deal doesn't eliminate a competitor," Todd Rethemeier at Hudson Square said.
Sprint is going through a $7 billion upgrade of one of its networks, while closing its Nextel iDen network, which makes Softbank's capital especially useful.
The deal fuelled investor hopes for a further boost to network construction: on Monday, shares in cellphone tower equipment makers Crown Castle International Corp and American Tower Corp gained about 4 percent on optimism that a richer Sprint may spend more on fourth-generation gear.
But analysts say don't count on a sustained windfall in telecoms spending with infrastructure buildouts already in progress and factored into stock prices.
In Sprint's case, some analysts say Wall Street did not doubt that the company could have bankrolled the project somehow over the years it would take, even without a Softbank deal.
To be sure, many on Wall Street like the progress that Sprint has made in a years-long turnaround effort, with some pointing out novel data plans, for instance, that have helped to stanch customer losses and kept them in the game.
"Right now it's not clear to me why this is a fantastic thing for Sprint shareholders," said independent telecoms consultant John Jackson of the Softbank announcement. "Getting access to lots of money is not a strategy in itself."
"It's hard to see this having a significant impact on Verizon and AT&T," he added. "It looks like Sprint finally has a handle on their destiny. And then they go and do this."
The primary gain for cash-strapped Sprint will be the short-term infusion of funds as it struggles to whittle down debt. CEO Dan Hesse acknowledged the financial challenges it has faced - which the new capital could fix quickly.
"Aside from additional liquidity, however, from an operational perspective little changes by virtue of having a new controlling shareholder and less leverage," Bernstein Research's Craig Moffet said in a note.
Other analysts say Sprint may employ its refilled coffers in acquisitions, including of partner Clearwire Corp , which owns wireless spectrum it needs.
But what's harder to fix with cash is Sprint's inherent disadvantage vis-a-vis its two bigger rivals.
"You can't throw money at the problem," Rethemeier said.
An alliance with Softbank could give it more leverage when dealing with Apple Inc , and negotiating the hefty subsidies that have eroded its bottom line. But some analysts say it's hard to argue with AT&T's and Verizon's numbers over the longer term.
"The market is largely saturated. Growth is going to come from stealing customers from AT&T and Verizon," said Forrester analyst Charles Golvin. "If T-Mobile and MetroPCS happens, they will be vying for customers from AT&T and Verizon as well."
