A new world for wireless telecom?

by Peter Nowak, CBCNews.ca

It's too bad the government's wireless spectrum auction hasn't ended yet because two key players took to the stage at the Canadian Telecom Summit today: Robert Depatie and Pierre Blouin, respective chief executive officers of Videotron and MTS Allstream.

Copyright reform: The 1,000-pound gorilla at the Telecom Summit

by Peter Nowak, CBCNews.ca

There's a 1,000-pound (or for the metric-minded, a 453-kilogram) gorilla in the room at this year's Canadian Telecom Summit that nobody is talking about: copyright reform. Nadir Mohamed, chief operating officer of Canada's largest wireless provider, waxed on in his keynote about how data usage on cellphones is due to explode. Speakers from network manufactuers Ericsson and Alcatel Lucent talked about the growth of video over both wired and wireless networks. Two panels – "Consumers in a Multi-Screen World" and "Entertainment & Content Over Broadband" – discussed how media is spreading to every device.

But just about no one – with the exception of the CBC's executive director of digital programming and business development Steve Billinger (I mention this despite the risk of being accused of naval-gazing) – mentioned how the government's proposed copyright reform is going to play in.

CDMA going way of the dodo?

by Peter Nowak, CBCNews.ca

Ericsson Canada president Mark Henderson dropped some interesting stats during his keynote address at the Canadian Telecom Summit today. Henderson said Code Division Multiple Access cellphone technology – the likes of which is used by Bell Canada and Telus in Canada – is on the verge of extinction.

Currently, about 80 per cent of cellphone companies in the world, including Rogers in Canada, use the rival Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology. Henderson said that GSM, and the Long-Term Evolution standard that is slowly succeeding it, will expand to 96 per cent of carriers by 2012 as CDMA carriers convert, and as new networks crop up.

Copyright bill details released

by Paul Jay, CBCNews.ca

The federal government finally introduced its copyright reform amendments in the House of Commons Thursday, and while the bill isn't yet online, the government released a series of fact sheets outlining what the new changes will be. We're working hard to digest what it all means and will be updating our story in the CBCnews.ca Technology section as the day progresses and gauging reaction.

Update: The bill is here. Also, University of Ottawa professor Michael Geist, a frequent critic of the government's efforts at copyright reform, has posted his reaction. Be warned, though - in a measure of the level of interest in this issue - Geist's blog is slow because of heavy traffic.

More Metallica mischief

By Peter Nowak, CBCnews.ca

Oh, Metallica. Why must you insist on making it so hard to like you?

No video on iPhone speech?

by Paul Jay, CBCNews.ca

Apple CEO Steve jobs will be taking the floor any minute now at the Apple World Wide Developers' Conference in San Francisco, and maybe it's just us but it seems curious that there is no live video of this event. For people wondering what the influential Jobs will say and introduce, they will have to rely on the dozens of bloggers who will be blogging and twittering his every word to like-minded readers.

Which is good for the bloggers, but also kind of weird that news of a device designed to stream the internet and watch video with greater ease wouldn't be available as anything other than a text feed.

It makes us wonder how much Apple could get if they offered the speech for download on iTunes? Would Apple fanatics make it a best-seller that day or would it be dismissed as a cash grab?

Perhaps the danger of streaming the video live has to do with the current 2G iPhone: not only would it be potentially slow to watch, but the owners of said devices might also be overcome by the feeling that, once again, they were paying the price of being early adopters.

Printer wanted for illegal downloading

by Paul Jay, CBCNews.ca

The media industry trade group practice of sending cease-and-desist letters over alleged copyright infringements to users on peer-to-peer file sharing networks are flawed and can lead to false positives, according to U.S. researchers.

Researchers at the University of Washington looked at the practice of sending "takedown notices" to internet service providers and universities when their users are spied on file-sharing networks.

Garfield exits, gets funnier

by Paul Jay, CBCNews.ca

Perhaps the funniest thing we've seen in a while is Dan Walsh's "Garfield minus Garfield", the comic strip which exposes the loneliness and depression of Jon Arbuckle, the fictional bachelor and owner of the overgrown cat, simply by removing the eponymous pet from the frames.

The result doesn't always work, but when it does, it's sad and hilarious, providing a chance, as Walsh writes on the site, to "laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb."

Obomsawin Reflects on “On Loving Women”

by  in Comic News Comment
Obomsawin Reflects on “On Loving Women”

French-Canadian cartoonist and animator Diane Obomsawin has a significant reputation in the Francophone world for her books and films like “Here and There,” her animated short about the chaos of splitting a childhood on two continents. In 2009, Drawn and Quarterly published her first book in English, “Kaspar,” which recounted one of the great mysteries of modern Europe, the strange, short life of Kaspar Hauser, a man who claimed to have been raised in complete isolation, growing up while inside a dark cell, only to be killed at a young age.

Her new book, “On Loving Women,” is a very different project. The volume collects stories by Obomsawin and a number of her friends sharing the stories of young women and the first moments, conscious or not, when they first felt attraction towards women. The result is a book filled with a number of sad and confused moments, but overall, it is a happy, light-hearted book full of sweetness and hope.

Story continues below

CBR News: “On Loving Women” is a unique collection of stories; how would you describe the book?

Diane Obomsawin: It’s about the first desire of a woman for another woman, conscious or unconsciously. It’s about the very first attraction. What inspired me was a book where [the author] explained that each time he saw a couple — a guy and a woman — that are kissing, when he was very young he always thought of himself as the woman receiving the kiss from the man. He was conscious of that and then he realized his attraction for men. That made me want to know about myself. When was it — before I even knew I was attracted to women — that I knew, unconsciously. It goes back very far, to the age of six or seven. Also I was curious about my friends and their stories. That was my question for them: What was your very first attraction?

Did you know from the beginning you wanted to make a book of different people’s stories? Was that always the idea?

Yes I already knew that I wanted different stories. I interviewed my friends. I have a lot of friends that are five or eight years older than me, and I realized that reality was very different for people even five years older or five years younger. The emancipation and politicization of homosexuality — for me, it was already done. I came from the big city and it was easy for me, but for a few friends of mine that come from the country, when homosexuality was criminal or forbidden, for them it was more complicated. When I realized that, I wanted to interview women of different ages. The youngest is thirty and the oldest is seventy. I want to find more to interview — very young and much older — but for this album, I had to use my friends because my friends know how I express myself and they had confidence that I would take care of their stories. For other people, it would be more difficult to gain their confidence, but now that I did this book, it would be easier to make another one with people I don’t know. They will see my sensibility and they will know I want to protect the people who tell these stories.

My friends were very generous. I was very touched by the way they talked to me. I came back with the stories and I showed it to them and they really were touched by the results. They say that they all recognized their stories, but at the same time, they laughed because of a certain distance and they were all really happy. Even with the sad stories.

In “Diane’s Story,” where, as a child, you saw two women kissing in a film and how you reacted to that, it conveys that sense of an attraction you weren’t aware of and really startling you.

I was shocked and attracted at the same time. I was really shocked! It was an electrifying shock. It was over the top for me, I had to shut off the TV. But I regretted that, maybe fifteen minutes after.

We’re so used to coming out stories being dark and often unhappy, but this book is just so wonderful and so light-hearted, even though some stories are sad.

“Sasha’s Story” was sad, and with the drawings, I think that it is still sad. It was really hard, because she tried to kiss her best friend and her best friend said, no, you tried to rape me. It’s hard because she was in love with her and then she gets this rejection and this horrible answer, but in a comic strip with animal heads, it softens a lot of the pain. She laughed at a situation that was not funny the first time.

How did you decide on the characters being animals with these elongated bodies?

I think the more I draw, the more I realize I don’t know how to draw. [Laughs] I just put little points for eyes and a few lines for the mouth. It’s not very elaborate, my drawing. Not very realistic. It’s just because I don’t know how to draw. [Laughs]

These minimalist animals help make the tone light-hearted, so the emotion is real but it ends up being a sweet, light story.

Yes. Always my wish was that we feel it’s light, but we feel the river of sadness — just not at first sight. It’s inside. I don’t know how to explain it. The reality is, I just go with the flow. It’s very quick, the decisions I make, and I really felt like it had to be this way. In the end, I just knew if I liked it or not. I feel honored that my friends were so generous in telling me their stories. I feel like I had something precious to take care of. There is a deepness, even if it’s light and short.

You utilize a very straight forward page design and layout for these stories.

At first, I did elaborate shapes. I had three or four possibilities, and the more I’d go through the stories, the simpler I wanted them to be. I don’t know why. I’m not a realistic drawer. For the next one, I’m thinking of maybe going even more simple. I don’t know. It’s something to see. I can elaborate more or simplify more — I don’t know yet.

How did you decide on the order of the stories?

I’m really happy with the order. It came really naturally. I didn’t want to repeat similar things. I cannot explain, because I don’t remember, but it was really logical. I played a lot with the order, and this was the right way. For example, I’m doing the French version now, and it will stay in the same order because I feel like it’s good like this. I really wanted the very end to end like this, with “Girls Rock.” It was a good way to end. It’s a combination of a few things.

Was it your idea to make the bar code on the book in the shape of a heart?

[Laughs] That was the decision of Drawn and Quarterly, but I totally agree with the fact that they emphasized love. They wanted the album to be ready for St. Valentine’s Day, and I’m totally happy with that decision.

In the end, was this tone of the book, where it moves between sweet and sexy and goofy and bittersweet — sometimes in the same story — what you were hoping for?

Absolutely. I don’t do that consciously but when I read the critics or people who read the book and they say it’s goofy and sexy and bittersweet, that makes me really happy, but it’s not something I decided before. When I begin a project I just try to be centered and have fun. I don’t try more than that.

“On Loving Women” is available now.

Mitt Romney sweeps primaries in five states

Updated: 11:49 p.m. ET

(CBS News) Mitt Romney won all five Republican presidential primaries Tuesday night, completing a sweep of contests in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Romney boasted more than 50 percent of the vote in all five states.

In Connecticut, with 91 percent of the expected votes in, Romney led Ron Paul 67 percent to 13 percent. In Rhode Island, with most of the expected votes counted, Romney led Paul 63 percent to 24 percent.

In Pennsylvania, with nearly all of the votes in, Romney had 58 percent. Rick Santorum, who dropped out of the Republican presidential contest earlier this month, followed with 18 percent of the vote.

In Delaware, with most of the votes counted, Romney led Newt Gingrich 56 percent to 27 percent. And in New York, with 75 percent of the expected votes in, Romney led Paul 62 percent to 16 percent.

CBS News estimated delegate count
Full primary result coverage

Romney is likely to add more than 200 delegates to the 692 estimated delegates he had already secured before the evening's five contests.

Romney will still lack the 1,144 delegates necessary to formally clinch the Republican nomination after Tuesday -- but the former Massachusetts governor is clearly claiming the mantle of presumptive Republican nominee. Even as he continues to put in the requisite work toward officially sealing up the Republican nomination, he pivoted to the general election in a speech Tuesday night in New Hampshire.

Romney: "A better America begins tonight"
Has Newt Gingrich damaged his brand?
Santorum, Romney to meet next week
After string of losses, Gingrich hints at an exit

Speaking to supporters, the presumptive GOP nominee focused his attention solely on President Obama. Romney did not mention either of this remaining Republican rivals by name, instead casting himself as an improvement over the current president and promising "the start of a new and better chapter."

"A better America begins tonight," Romney told the enthusiastic crowd. "Tonight is the start of a new campaign to unite every American who knows in their heart that we can do better. The last few years have been the best that Barack Obama can do. But it's not the best America can do. Tonight is the beginning of the end of the disappointments of the Obama years."

The Obama campaign immediately hit back against the Romney camp, arguing in a statement that Romney's speech "should have been Back to the Future, because he has proposed a return to the same policies that got us into the economic crisis in the first place."

Primary Results: Connecticut | Delaware | New York | Pennsylvania | Rhode Island

"Mitt Romney has spent the past year out on the campaign trail tearing down the President with a negative message that even Republicans who have endorsed him have criticized," Obama for America Press Secretary Ben LaBolt said in the statement. "This marks the end of that monologue. Now he must put his record and his agenda next to the President's."

Despite what increasingly looks like Romney's inevitable success in securing the Republican nomination, Newt Gingrich on Tuesday vowed to continue campaigning in North Carolina. He indicated , however, that he plans to reevaluate his run in the wake of his losses, and said Tuesday his campaign would in the coming days "look realistically where we're at."

The former speaker, who has only won two nominating contests, was counting on a strong performance in Delaware Tuesday to get a "bounce" that might prompt donors to take another look at his candidacy. He has vowed to stay in the race until the Republican presidential convention in Tampa this summer, but his presidential campaign is more than $4 million in debt and the pace of its fundraising has fallen significantly behind its spending, according to figures released by the campaign Friday evening.

Gingrich suggested that if Romney does clinch the nomination, he will support his candidacy.

"If he does end up as the nominee, I think every conservative in this country has to be committed to defeating Barack Obama," Gingrich said.

In an appearance on CNN Tuesday night, Santorum declined to explicitly endorse Romney, but said that "If he's the nominee, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he defeats Barack Obama."

"Including endorse him?" asked CNN's Piers Morgan.

"Absolutely," Santorum responded.

His concession came after unofficial results from Tuesday's polling gave Shumlin a lead of about 3,000 votes or about 1.5 percentage points.

As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, Shumlin campaign Manager Alex MacLean says Shumlin hadn't heard from Dubie.

With 89 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday, Shumlin had 49.4 percent of the vote compared to 47.9 percent for Dubie.

White House to propose funding cut for NASA

U.S. President Barack Obama will ask Congress for $17.7 billion for NASA for 2013, an amount that would leave the agency funded at its lowest level in four years, according to sources familiar with the forthcoming budget proposal.

NASA's planetary science division would shoulder a heavy share of the cut. Under the president's proposal, its budget would drop from $1.5 billion to $1.2 billion, a 20 percent reduction.

Due on Capitol Hill Feb. 13, the $17.7 billion NASA budget proposal represents only a slight reduction from the $17.8 billion Congress approved in November for 2012. But compared to the $18.7 billion Obama penciled in for 2013 in the five-year budget he sent Congress this time last year, it represents a 5 percent cut.

Things could have been worse. According to a source familiar with the Obama administration's internal budget deliberations, the White House Office of Management and Budget asked the agency last fall to submit budget proposals for three scenarios: a 5 percent cut, a 10 percent cut and a 15 percent cut, relative to the outyear spending plan submitted last year. [Photos: President Obama and NASA]

With no top line budget relief, the cost overruns on NASA's James Webb Space Telescope weighed heavily on the agency's planetary science division, sources said. News of the 20-percent cut was first reported Feb. 8 by The Washington Post. A spate of news stories about the deep cuts in store for NASA's popular robotic Mars exploration program followed.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a House Appropriations Committee member whose Pasadena, Calif., district is home to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which specializes in executing planetary missions, issued the following statement Feb. 9 following a meeting with NASA Administrator Charles Bolden: "As I told the Administrator during our meeting, I oppose these ill-considered cuts and I will do everything in my power to restore the Mars budget and to ensure American leadership in space exploration."

Meanwhile, late Feb. 9, the White House directed federal agencies, including NASA and the U.S. Air Force, to cancel embargoed budget briefings with reporters that had been scheduled for Feb. 10. Administration sources said the White House did not give agencies a reason for canceling the briefings.

Budget briefings planned for today (Feb. 13) -- many of them to be televised or webcast -- are still going forward.

NASA is scheduled to roll out its budget in a televised briefing from the agency's headquarters here at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT), the same time the Air Force is scheduled to brief reporters at the Pentagon on its 2013 spending proposal.

January 17

‘Hobday’ to speak to Historical Society

The Cedar Key Historical Society will kick off the 2013 season of monthly coffees on Thursday, Jan. 17, at 10 a.m. The speaker will be Toni C. Collins, local historian and author, who will introduce her latest book, “The Lady of the Lighthouse: A Biography.”

January 19

Winter Library Speaker Series

On Saturday, Jan. 19, at 10:30 a. m., Pegeen Hanrahan, former Gainesville mayor, will speak at the Cedar Key Library on behalf of Florida's Water and Land Legacy, Inc.  The Water and Land Legacy campaign is seeking to gather signatures to have a voter initiative conservation amendment placed on the Florida 2014, election ballot.

The primary goal of this amendment would require the state to designate a specified percentage of the revenues collected under Florida's Real Estate Doc Stamp Program into the state’s conservation budget.  These programs include parks, recreation, hunting, fishing, land acquisition and management, aquaculture, springs, clean water initiatives, restoration, etc.  Over the last 20 years, these programs have received high priority; however, since 2009, the legislature has slashed funding for these programs by 97.5 percent.

The Cedar Key tourist industry and aquaculture industry have derived tremendous benefit from the pure water and vast undeveloped public and private land which surrounds the tiny island community.  In the past, Cedar Key has pioneered in water quality initiatives.  (But make no mistake, change is coming to Northwest Central Florida.)

So plan ahead, mark your calendar and plan to be at this informative event.  (Hopefully, Cedar Key will show vigorous and unanimous support for this much needed amendment.)

Manatee Awareness Month program

Manatee Springs State Park will host a variety of featured guests on Saturday, Jan. 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as part of its celebration of Manatee Awareness Month.

With the cooler weather, the featured guest will be the manatee, along with partners in manatee protection awareness, education and enforcement. Various agencies will have booths set up so visitors can enjoy learning about the gentle giants and how to protect them.

The Manatee Spring, the head spring at Manatee Springs State Park, emits mineral-rich water at a constant 72 degrees which provides a warm water haven for the manatee when other bodies of waters' temperatures decrease below 68 degrees.

Activities for Saturday program are free with a paid park admission in January. For more information  call the park at 352-493-6072 or visit  www.FloridaStateParks.org.

Lance Edward Armstrong (born Lance Edward Gunderson on September 18, 1971) is an American professional road racing cyclist who was best known for winning the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times (though he was later stripped of the titles following a doping scandal), after having survived testicular cancer. He is also the founder and chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer research and support.

- CANCER - On October 2, 1996, at age 25, Armstrong was diagnosed with stage three testicular cancer. The cancer spread to his lungs, abdomen and brain. On that first visit to a urologist in Austin, Texas, for his cancer symptoms he was coughing up blood and had a large, painful testicular tumor. Immediate surgery and chemotherapy were required to save his life. Armstrong had an orchiectomy to remove his diseased testicle. After his surgery, his doctor stated that he had less than a 40% survival chance.

The standard chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of this type of cancer is a cocktail of the drugs bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (or Platinol) (BEP). Armstrong, however, chose an alternative, etoposide, ifosfamide, and cisplatin (VIP), to avoid the lung toxicity associated with the drug bleomycin.[7] This decision may have saved his cycling career. His primary treatment was received at the Indiana University (IU), Indianapolis, Medical Center, where Dr. Lawrence Einhorn had pioneered the use of cisplatinum to treat testicular cancer. His primary oncologist there was Dr. Craig Nichols.[7] Also at IU, his brain tumors were surgically removed and found to contain extensive necrosis (dead tissue). His last chemotherapy treatment was received on December 13, 1996. source: wikipedia

On Religion

The night before brain surgery, I thought about death. I searched out my larger values, and I asked myself, if I was going to die, did I want to do it fighting and clawing or in peaceful surrender? What sort of character did I hope to show? Was I content with myself and what I had done with my life so far? I decided that I was essentially a good person, although I could have been better--but at the same time I understood that the cancer didn't care.

I asked myself what I believed. I had never prayed a lot. I hoped hard, I wished hard, but I didn't pray. I had developed a certain distrust of organized religion growing up, but I felt I had the capacity to be a spiritual person, and to hold some fervent beliefs. Quite simply, I believed I had a responsiblity to be a good person, and that meant fair, honest, hardworking, and honorable. If I did that, if I was good to my family, true to my friends, if I gave back to my community or to some cause, if I wasn't a liar, a cheat, or a thief, then I believed that should be enough. At the end of the day, if there was indeed some Body or presence standing there to judge me, I hoped I would be judged on whether I had lived a true life, not on whther I believed in a certain book, or whether I'd been baptized. If there was indeed a God at the end of my days, I hoped he didn't say, "But you were never a Christian, so you're going the other way from heaven." If so, I was going to reply, "You know what? You're right. Fine."

I believed, too, in the doctors and the medicine and the surgeries--I believed in that. I believed in them. A person like Dr. Einhorn [his oncologist], that's someone to believe in, I thought, a person with the mind to develop an experimental treatment 20 years ago that now could save my life. I believed in the hard currency of his intelligence and his research.

Beyond that, I had no idea where to draw the line between spiritual belief and science. But I knew this much: I believed in belief, for its own shining sake. To believe in the face of utter hopelessness, every article of evidence to the contrary, to ignore apparent catastrophe--what other choice was there? We do it every day, I realized. We are so much stronger than we imagine, and belief is one of the most valiant and long-lived human characteristics. To believe, when all along we humans know that nothing can cure the briefness of this life, that there is no remedy for our basic mortality, that is a form of bravery.

To continue believing in yourself, believing in the doctors, believing in the treatment, believing in whatever I chose to believe in, that was the most important thing, I decided. It had to be.

Without belief, we would be left with nothing but an overwhelming doom, every single day. And it will beat you. I didn't fully see, until the cancer, how we fight every day gainst the creeping negatives of the world, how we struggle daily against the slow lapping of cynicism. Dispiritedness and disappointment, these were the real perils of life, not some sudden illness or cataclysmic millennium doomsday. I knew now why people fear cancer: because it is a slow and inevitable death, it is the very definition of cynicism and loss of spirit.

So, I believed.

From Lance Armstrong's book It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life, published by G.P Putnam's Sons 2000. pp. 116-118

TIME magazine Sept 29, 2003 pg 8, "10 Questions for Lance Armstrong,"

Interviewer: "For a miracleman, you're not very religious."

Armstrong: "I don't have anything against organized religion per se. We all need something in our lives. I personally just have not accepted that belief. But I'm one of the few."

An article in the UK Times Online by Alastair Campbell, printed Saturday Feb 28, 2004, says:

He lives, close to several of his US Postal Service team colleagues, in a first-floor, four-bedroom apartment at the heart of Girona's old town. Although a confirmed atheist, he takes me almost immediately to the tiny chapel, lovingly describes its features, and, above all, the 15th-century painting of the Crucifixion that takes pride of place.

Despite the chapel, despite the crucifix around his neck (a link with a fellow cancer patient), Armstrong is deeply suspicious of organised religion. He never knew his "so-called father", and he says that in all his 32 years, he has never asked his Mum, Linda, a single question about him. He was born with the name Gunderson, then his mother married the man who gave him his name. Terry Armstrong talked religion but used to beat Lance with a paddle and he was relieved when he walked out. "He was like me in that he got his name from someone else," Armstrong says. "His biological name was Love. But his Mom married a man named Raymond Armstrong, a preacher. It's weird, I've got his name, my kids have his name but I have never met him and I never want to meet him."

His stance on religion is in marked contrast to his wife's ever more fervent Catholicism and the difference may have been one of the factors that led to their marriage breaking up. Armstrong believes it is possible to be a good person while not believing. "I think we all have obligations to be good, honest, hard-working, caring and compassionate," he says. "You have to try and it won't always be easy but you try your best. I do not believe that because you are not prepared to submit yourself to a god or a higher being, that when you get to the end of the road, you will be sent down. I'm not prepared to believe that."

Lance Armstrong was quoted by ET Magazine as saying "If there was a god, I'd still have both nuts."

Understanding John's Daily Biorhythm Chart

John Powless is a male celebrity.

He was born on Wednesday August 24th 1932, in Flora, IL, USA,.

Physical Energies The blue line displays Powless' physical self during a 23-day cycle, starting at his date of birth. The physical self measurement is an indicator of his energy levels in terms of coordination, strength, and general well-being. If the blue line is at the top of the chart he is in a physically energized portion of his cycle. If the blue line is at or near the bottom of the chart John is in a low point in his physical cycle. High points are an excellent time to take on physically challenging ventures. Low points indicate he may be physically spent and may need to take it easy for a while.

Emotional Energies The red line represents John Powless' emotional self during a 28-day cycle, in terms of creativity, sensitivity, mood, perception, and awareness. When the red line is near the top of the chart John is feeling emotionally strong. His outlook on life tends to be at its best and his interactions with others are most successful. Low points on Powless' emotional line indicate times when he may need to retreat somewhat. John Powless is more likely to be depressed during these times. High points indicate times when he will enjoy the company of others and find expressing his feelings the easiest.

Intellectual Energies The green line tracks John's intellectual self over a 33-day cycle, in terms of alertness, analytical functioning, logical analysis skills, memory or recall abilities, and communication. When the green line is near the top of the chart Powless' mental faculties are at their sharpest. This is the time for him to seek solutions requiring logic and analysis. Conversely, at those times when the green line is near the bottom of the chart John Powless' intellectual capabilities are at their lowest. John might find it prudent to delay work requiring serious thought until he reaches a higher position in his cycle.

Intuitive Energies The purple line charts John Powless' varying intuitive (or compassion) strength at different points during a 38-day cycle. When the purple line is near the top, his powers of intuition are at their strongest. During these times John Powless might even experience moments of serendipity. These high points are times when he should be more willing to trust his hunches. When the purple line is near the bottom of the chart, his intuitive powers are at their lowest. At these times John Powless might want to shy away from making decisions because "he just knows" and rely on a more analytical approach to decision making.

Spiritual Energies The aqua line travels the ebb and flow of his 53-day spiritual sensitivity cycle. When the aqua line is at the top of the chart John Powless is very in tune with his spiritual self. At these times John may reach new heights religiously or experience intense mystical experiences. During periods when the aqua line is near the bottom of the chart Powless is not particularly in sync with the spiritual side of life.

Aesthetic Energies The yellow line traces John's aesthetic powers through a 43-day cycle. During periods when the yellow line is at the top of the chart John Powless is most open to the arts as well as being at the pinnacle of his own creative powers. The high points are perfect times for Powless to express his creative self. During periods when the yellow line is at the bottom of the chart he is not nearly as in touch with his creative self. During these times John Powless might do well to put his energies into things that do not require large amounts of creativity.

Self-Awareness Energies The orange line follows the flux in Powless' level of self-awareness in cycle of 48 days each. At times the orange line is near the top of the chart he is most in tune with himself. During these periods John Powless can experience profound moments of self-discovery. During periods in his cycle when the orange line is near the bottom of the chart Powless is not nearly as connected to his inner-self.

About Biorhythm

Our rhythmic biological cycles are said to control or initiate various biological processes and are classically composed of three cyclic rhythms that are said to govern human behavior and demonstrate innate periodicity in natural physiological change: the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual (mental) cycles.

Dr Phil Accused of Sexual Abuse

Posted Thursday August 6, 2009 5:28 PM GMT

He’s known to many as a great psychological helper, but one woman says that Dr Phil McGraw caused her way more pain than healing.

44-year-old mother Sara Morrison told press that Dr. Phil sexually abused her while she was his patient while simultaneously working as his intern.

She explained, "Dr. Phil is a monster! Not a single day has gone by when I haven't been affected by what Phil McGraw did to me. He profoundly affected the course of my life. The world should know this man is a predator and a bully. He shouldn't be telling Americans how to live their lives, how to improve themselves."

Morrison began seeing McGraw for care when she was a college sophomore suffering from low self-esteem. "I suffered from low self-esteem, and I was depressed, lonely and suicidal. Phil was extremely insistent that I call him all the time, and he would call me. He wanted to see me three or four times a week - as a patient."

Once she became his intern as well, things took a turn for the worse, she said. "The first day I showed up for work, Phil had his hands all over me. Phil would pull me down to sit in his lap while he talked on the phone to patients, other doctors, even his wife! He'd be running his hand up and down the inside of my thigh all the way up to my panties."

How Jimmy Fallon Took Over The World Of Late Night Comedy

By on February 24, 2014 in ArticlesEntertainment

It's rare, but sometimes dweeby guys finish first. That's especially true for new king of late night, Jimmy Fallon. Embracing his inner dweeb has helped Jimmy launch a massively successful career in entertainment. The former computer science major, who had always had a knack for impressions, has managed to become America's favorite late night talk show host.  More importantly, Jimmy is yet another example of someone who followed his passions to build a career out of something he truly loved: Making people laugh. And along the way, Jimmy has been rewarded. Handsomely.  Here's how a technologically inclined kid from Brooklyn took late night televisions by storm and earned himself a small fortune in the process.

Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon was born September 19, 1974 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York.  He grew up in a relatively normal family in Saugerties, New York.  His father was a veteran who worked for IBM, and his mother took care of Jimmy and his older sister.  From an early age, he enjoyed three things – computers, music, and "Saturday Night Live".  His parents would tape "SNL", and then allow him to watch the sections they deemed appropriate for a younger viewer.  Inspired by what he saw, he began doing impressions.  In his early teens, he began playing guitar, as well.

After graduating from high school, he went on to attend The College of Saint Rose, where he majored in Computer Science, originally intending to follow in his father's footsteps.  However, he ultimately chose to shift his focus to Communications.  He'd begun performing stand-up routines at the end of his senior year of high school, after winning an impression contest performing a routine inspired by the graduation troll doll his parents gave him.  He subsequently left college a semester early to try to make a go of a comedy career.

He began touring extensively performing stand-up, and also studied with the world famous Groundlings in Los Angeles.  He became known for combining his background in music with his impressions work, and he eventually caught the eye of the producers at "Saturday Night Live".  The Groundlings has been a successful feeder company for "SNL" for decades, and the producers were impressed enough with his impersonations of everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Enrique Iglesias to Alanis Morissette (complete with singing), that he became a featured player on the show in 1998.  A year later, he became a full cast member.  In 2000, he became the co-anchor of "Weekend Update" with Tina Fey.  Four years later, like many "SNL" alums, he decided to make a go at a film career.

Unfortunately, his post-"SNL" film career had its ups and downs.  He found more success with voice over work for animated productions than with on-camera work.  While the cartoons he worked on, such as "Arthur and the Invisibles" and its sequels, and "Doogal", were relatively popular, his live action projects, such as "Taxi", "Fever Pitch", "Factory Girl", and "Whip It", were only moderately successful.  He'd made a name for himself doing impressions of other actors, and now audiences were having trouble figuring out who he was.  After hosting various awards shows, it began to be clear that he might have more success as a host than as an actor.

In 2009, he had the opportunity to test out the hosting theory, when he embarked on a new venture.  He replaced Conan O'Brien as the host of "Late Night…".  He also served as one of the show's writers and an Executive Producer.  From the beginning of his time on the show, he proved to be a breath of fresh air.  From lip synch battles, to arm wrestling matches, to hit songs played on children's toys, to President Obama "slow jamming" the news, he turned interviewing his guests into an event.  By 2010, he'd become so popular as a host, that when he was tapped to host the Emmy Awards, viewership increased by 200,000 people from the previous year.  "Late Night" became immensely popular and in 2013, when it began to seem as if Jay Leno was really, finally, going to retire Jimmy Fallon was named as his heir apparent.  His salary was also bumped from $6 million to $11 million per year.On February 17, 2014, he made a very successful debut as the host of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon".

The reviews for his first few days as the host of "The Tonight Show" have been universally positive and viewership is up.  As with "Late Night", he seems to be having a blast, and his guests and the audience have certainly responded to the fun he seems to be having.  He's a bit like a kid who just realized his dreams have come true.  Maybe they have.  After all, the guitar playing computer scientist, who used to crack his parents up impersonating James Cagney, has now become the king of late night television.

Lauryn Hill Sentenced to Three Months in Prison

Lauryn Hill is getting a different kind of miseducation… about the penal system. A New Jersey judge has just sentenced the singer/actress to serve three months in prison and another three months in home confinement after failing to pay taxes on about $1 million in earnings.

Hill pleaded guilty to the charges after being arrested last year. She faced a maximum sentence of one year on each of the three counts she faced.

“I needed to be able to earn so I could pay my taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children, and I was being denied that,” Hill said today, in explaining why she hadn’t paid her taxes.

When she was arrested last year, Hill claimed that she had retreated from the public eye, including not paying taxes, in order to protect her family including her six children, five of whom are the grandchildren of reggae singer Bob Marley.

Before her sentencing, Hill’s attorney said she had already paid more than $97,000 to satisfy her debts.

It’s unclear when Hill will report to prison to begin her sentence.

Thanksgiving: How The Most Generous CEOs Give Back

‘Tis the season for giving, and chief executives are among the givingest. Just last year, America’s 50 most generous donors, consisting nearly entirely of founders and CEOs, presented $10.2 billion to nonprofit organizations and initiatives throughout the world—a 33 percent increase from the year before.

Leading the pack are those who amassed their wealth in technology, including an impressive cast of “under 40″ gurus, three of whom each offered up more than $500 million last year alone. These younger donors seem more interested in promoting immediate change than waiting for endowments to build up over time. “They’re always looking for a better mousetrap,” explains Michael Moody, a professor at Grand Valley State University’s Johnson Center for Philanthropy. “For a lot of them, that’s how they made their significant wealth.”

Young or old, tech or otherwise, here’s a look at ten of the most charitable executives in America:

Nicholas and Jill Woodman, GoPro, Net worth: $1.27 billion

Last year, GoPro CEO Nicholas Woodman donated a whopping $500 million to initiate a donor-advised fund with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which provides educational assistance and scholarships to students in California. Mission details will be released “at a later date,” but according to SVCF’s chief executive, the foundation “tries to meet donors where they are in fulfilling their charitable interests, whatever they might be. And they are often overlapping and interconnected charitable interests.” Whatever the Woodmans end up funding, the couple’s generosity is stunning given that their net worth, though sizable, is considerably below others included in this list.

Sean Parker, Napster, Net worth: $2.5 billion

Thirty-five year old entrepreneur Sean Parker co-founded file-sharing service Napster and served as the first president of Facebook. Over the summer, Parker announced three priorities for his recently launched $600 million foundation: civic engagement, global public health and life sciences. “My guiding principle of all of my engagement is I try to only focus on the problems where I have some insight or a set of relationships or capabilities where I can actually do something about it and see a path to zero,” he said.

Gordon Moore, Intel, Net worth: $7 billion

Intel founder Gordon Moore and his wife Betty laid out $5 billion to establish the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which targets the environment, conservation, science and San Francisco Bay Area. The couple’s reach includes the following gifts: $600 million to Conservation International through various grants; another $600 million to California Institute of Technology; $100 million to the University of California nursing school; $20 million to Wildlife Conservation Society; $20 Million to Nature Conservancy; and $2.5 million to Third Sector New England for marine conservation.

Jan Koum, WhatsApp, Net worth: $8.7 billion

Ukraine-born Jan Koum is the Internet entrepreneur and computer engineer who co-founded and sold mobile-messaging company WhatsApp to Facebook for $21.8 billion. As a result, he snagged the third position on Forbes’ 2015 list of America’s Richest Entrepreneurs Under 40. Koum’s rags-to-riches story no doubt influenced his decision to gift $556 million to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, making him the fourth most generous donor on The Chronicle’s Philanthropy 50 list for 2014.

Paul Allen, Microsoft, Net worth: $18.1 billion

Paul Allen describes himself first as a philanthropist, then as an investor, entrepreneur, author, Seahawks & Blazers team owner, guitarist, neuroscience supporter, space pioneer—and lastly, as co-founder of Microsoft.A longtime member of the charitable elite, Allen presented $298 million to the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and Allen Institute for Cell Science last year, and has been recognized for donating hundreds of millions of dollars to various initiatives, including founding and funding the widely popular Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum in Seattle.

Sergey Brin, Google, Net worth: $38.1 billion

As co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin helped create the world’s most popular search engine, and as a result, became one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in the world. In 2014, he gave a $383 million boost to the Brin Wojcicki Foundation, bankrolling various initiatives for social entrepreneurship, women’s issues, environmental and educational grants, Parkinson’s research and poverty elimination in northern California. The Russian-born computer scientist is now president of Alphabet, the new parent company he and Google co-founder Larry Page announced in August.

Michael Bloomberg, Bloomberg Net worth: $41 billion

American business magnate and politician Michael Bloomberg solidifies his philanthropic status by gifting away billions of dollars to charity. His foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, has been named among the most innovative organizations in the nation, supporting many programs that could be considered controversial, such as teaching high school graduates in Tanzania to perform appendectomies and cesarean sections. According to Bloomberg, private citizen contributions like his own should test new ideas not yet addressed and use these results to get government money for implementing related programs. Last year, Bloomberg donated $462 million toward arts, education, environmental and public health programs aimed at improving city governments around the world. And in 2011, he sent more than $300 million to 1,185 nonprofits—amounting to more than three a day, that year alone.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, Net worth: $46.7 billion

In 2013, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan became the youngest people in history to top the list of most philanthropic Americans (both were 29 at the time). The couple donated 18 million shares, valued at $1 billion, to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Earlier this month, the Zuckerbergs announced a $20 million initiative to supply schools across America with speedy Internet, especially those currently lacking broadband, as well as a $75 million gift to the newly renamed Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where Chan trained as a pediatrician. Zuckerberg and Chan represent a new wave of young tech billionaires, including Parker and Brin, who are opting to donate large sums in their 20s and 30s, instead of waiting until they are older. Rather than disrupt philanthropy, “I’d say that we’re trying to help people,” Zuckerberg explains. “Just like anything else you want to do well, investing in social-good projects takes practice,” he added. “This is the reason why we’re starting when we’re young.”

Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway, Net worth: $63.9 billion

Legendary investor Warren Buffett made the single greatest charitable donation of 2014 with a $2.1 billion gift (in the form of 16.6 million shares) to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As part of his annual giving pledge, Buffett gifted away another $2.8 billion last July, marking his tenth year in a row for supporting such organizations, including four charities headed by Buffett family members. The latest donation happens to break his personal philanthropy record, yet again.

Bill and Melinda Gates, Microsoft, Net worth: $79.5 billion

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda might just be the richest, most charitable couple on the planet. Here’s a quick breakdown of some of their vast philanthropic reach: $28 billion to initiatives for better health, education and economic advancements in developing countries; nearly $11 billion for developing and distributing vaccines to kids in need; $755 million for polio eradication; $500 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis; and $210 million to Cambridge University for scholarships.What’s more, in 2006 Gates and Buffett initiated the Giving Pledge to encourage the world’s wealthiest to join in pledging more than half of their wealth to charitable causes. “When we started the Giving Pledge a few years ago, we had no idea we’d get this many people to come together,” Bill Gates said. Today, the pledge has been taken by 137 individuals and couples, including Gordon and Betty Moore, Paul Allen, Michael Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan.

It may seem obvious to pair extremely wealthy CEOs with equally enormous generosity, but not all big-time CEOs seem to get in the spirit of giving. Still, many donations are made anonymously, and this list is far from conclusive. When it comes to giving back, these executives are obviously at the top of their game, same as in business, hoping to make the world better not by steps but strides at a time.

    If, like me, you use foxmarks on Firefox at home, but have to use IE in the workplace, you will be pleased to know that Foxmarks have released the alpha for their IE foxmarks addin.

    Having received my link last night, I installed it at work this morning and it seems to be going well so far.

    The merging of the bookmarks wasnt entirely seamless (it added (2) to the end of all the local bookmarks), it still worked pretty well.

Games Workshop founder to visit college

Have your say

One of the world’s leading pioneers of interactive entertainment and fiction is set to inspire budding tycoons at West Nottinghamshire College.

I an Livingstone OBE, co-founder of Games Workshop and co-author of the multi-million-selling Fighting Fantasy gamebook series, will share his tips for success with members of the college’s Vision Entrepreneur programme on Thursday 10th January.

Vision Entrepreneur has been set up to coach would-be business people from the college, local schools and the community through monthly sessions, which include inspirational speakers and tips from industry experts. Those whose ideas have the most potential will receive one-to-one mentoring and the backing to develop their plans further.

January’s session will see Mr Livingstone talk about his role as advisor to the government and the British Council, as well as his position as executive chairman of Eidos, the company behind the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise.

During his visit, Mr Livingstone will tour the college’s new £5m Create building and take part in a question and answer session with computer science and creative arts students. He will also give a filmed interview with interactive media students in the Create TV studios, giving them a chance to showcase their camera skills.

Asha Khemka OBE, principal and chief executive of West Nottinghamshire College, said: “To have one of the founding fathers of the UK games industry visit the college and speak about his business endeavours is a real honour.

“Ian’s rise to success is clearly down to a recipe of hard work, determination and a passion for the industry and I hope that our audience at the next Vision Entrepreneur event are inspired by his speech and can begin to apply such qualities into nurturing their own business ideas and concepts.”

In 2011, Mr Livingstone co-authored the Next Gen review for the government, recommending changes in education policy to bring computer science into the national curriculum as an essential discipline.

Earlier this year, he was ranked the 16th most influential person in the UK’s digital economy in the Wired 100 list for 2012.

In The Beginning…There Was Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour, And It Was Good

Seems fitting to start this blog with the one recipe that started the revolution.

Well. That’s maybe  a bit extreme.

I have been gluten free off and on since 2004. I am one of those people who doesn’t have celiac but just feels better without gluten in my life. For someone who loves bread, cake, and pizza as much as I do, this is tragic.

Finding this recipe and tweaking it for ease and affordability has salved that wound somewhat.

This is the basic recipe for a gluten free flour mix that you can sub in cup-for-cup when a recipe calls for AP flour. It is based on this recipe but changed for ease of creation (no measuring). It makes delicious cakes, crackers, cookies, waffles, and pancakes

Here’s the recipe:

1 24-oz. bag Bob’s Red Mill brown rice flour

1 24-oz. bag Bob’s Red Mill white rice flour

1 16-oz box of mochiko (sweet rice flour; available only at Asian grocery stores or online. We subbed potato starch in our first batch because we couldn’t find an Asian grocery in Marietta, GA)

1 15-oz bag of tapioca flour (also at Asian grocery stores, but sometimes in regular stores)

2 tsp. xanthan gum

Directions: Dump everything in a big bowl, stir together thoroughly. Stir again when using.

A word about xanthan gum. Some gluten free people are still sensitive to gums, and they can actually be eliminated from this recipe. I choose to keep it in there because A) it seems it make the flour perform a wee bit better, and B) it’s not an issue for me. Xanthan gum is a bit pricey, but I got it on sale for 25% of the regular price, so it was a no-brainer. It does expire, but opinions on how long that takes are mixed. Store in the ‘fridge in an airtight container, or keep it in the same container in the cabinet.

As noted above, this gluten free flour has worked well in all recipes that call for all-purpose flour, but I am still working on pizza crust and bread. I realize the loaf pictured above is a bit of a tease, but that’s my goal. Just difficult to persist in that endeavor when it’s 98 degrees outside. If you use this flour in a recipe that calls for a specific gluten free flour mix, check their ingredients to see if they are similar. Some commercial gluten free flour mixes us garbanzo bean flour, which imparts a distinct bean-y taste. No thank you.

Give this a try and let me know how it goes!

IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

Accepted name: pyridoxal 5'-phosphate synthase

Reaction: (1) pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate + H2O + O2 = pyridoxal 5'-phosphate + NH3 + H2O2
(2) pyridoxine 5'-phosphate + O2 = pyridoxal 5'-phosphate + H2O2

For diagram, click here

Glossary: pyridoxamine = 4-aminomethyl-3-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyridine

Other name(s): pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase; pyridoxamine phosphate oxidase; pyridoxine (pyridoxamine)phosphate oxidase; pyridoxine (pyridoxamine) 5'-phosphate oxidase; pyridoxaminephosphate oxidase (EC deaminating); PMP oxidase; pyridoxol-5'-phosphate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) (incorrect); pyridoxamine-phosphate oxidase; PdxH

Systematic name: pyridoxamine-5'-phosphate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)

Comments: A flavoprotein (FMN). In Escherichia coli, the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is synthesized de novo by a pathway that involves EC (erythrose-4-phosphate dehydrogenase), EC (4-phosphoerythronate dehydrogenase), EC (phosphoserine transaminase), EC (4-hydroxythreonine-4-phosphate dehydrogenase), EC (pyridoxine 5'-phosphate synthase) and EC (with pyridoxine 5'-phosphate as substrate). N4'-Substituted pyridoxamine derivatives are also oxidized in reaction (1) to form pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and the corresponding primary amine.

Rift growing between farmers’ market vendors

Peterborough, ON, Canada / CHEX TV
Rift growing between farmers' market vendors

The Peterborough Farmers’ Market resumes next month. However, recently there’s been a growing rift between some vendors and board members over what direction the market should take.

For nearly 3 decades products from McLean Berry Farm have been available at the Peterborough Farmers’ Market

“It’s a great community event – the Saturday market is a bustling market for the local community,” says former board president, and local farmer Sam McLean.

But McLean also says he and other local growers feel the farmers’ market needs to review its operating procedures. The last update was more than 30 years ago.

There were other requests too: professional audits, clear definitions of a local farmer, the hiring of a full-time market manager and balanced rules for both the Wednesday and the Saturday farmers’ markets.

McLean says any suggestions for change were rejected … so much so he quit after six months as board president.

“It was easier to leave than trying to beat my head against the wall trying to get things accomplished,” he told CHEX News.

He says other local growers are still voicing complaints and some are concerned that their permits might be revoked for voicing an opinion.

“I don’t see how or why – we’re voicing an tu-sequence-01-00_00_09_29-still003opinion and hopefully encouraging the market to improve their governance,” he says.

Market vendors have shared concerns with Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal.

But the province’s agriculture minister says he is not getting involved.

“Internal politics within the Peterborough Farmers’ Market are going to be resolved by the people within the Peterborough Farmers’ Market,” he says.

Lawyer John Dunn – who represents seven vendors – provided an email from City CAO Allan Seabrooke which indicates the city also wants clearer guidelines. The city also wants to a formalize a legal agreement with the market board next year since the market is held at the city-owned Morrow Park.

Seabrooke email: “… we have encouraged the Board to take this opportunity to work with the entire membership to review and follow its policies, operations and vision to ensure continued and future success.”

Joe Grant, a lawyer representing the Peterborough Farmers’ Market Corporation was unavailable for comment.

As for McLean, he has this to say:

“For a lot of people change is very difficult I think that market has been operating for 150 years or so maybe that’s ingrained that much in that market to not want to change.”
