Lloyd A. Neal, 22, the primary suspect in the 2006 murder of Hoeschele Thomas, was arrested after detectives revisited the cold case. On Nov. [[phy_address]] the Thomas family closure when they issued an arrest warrant for Neal who is charged with second-degree murder. Neal is currently serving a life sentence at Taylor Correctional Institution in Perry, FL on an unrelated 2007 Clearwater Police Department murder case. Detectives Piece Together Clues to Identify Suspect On Oct. 29, 2006 Thomas was fatally shot outside a residence, 1[[phy_address]] N in Largo. According to detectives, Thomas was walking home when he was approached by some unknown suspects who tried to sell him drugs. When Thomas refused, they engaged in a verbal argument, officials said. A passenger from inside the vehicle fired at Thomas, fatally wounding him, officials said. For five years detectives tried to piece together leads. Florida Department of Law Enforcement assisted the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office in the investigation. They analyzed a single bullet casing from a 380-caliber firearm. Although investigators followed up with leads and anonymous tips they hit a dead end. Until detective John Spoor of the sheriff's robbery and homicide unit reviewed the case again in June 2011. Spoor drew a connection between the weapon used in Thomas’ shooting and a weapon used in a drive-by shooting in Clearwater three weeks later. Clearwater police assisted Spoor in identifying Lloyd "Pooh" Neal at the crime scene and in Thomas’ murder. Spoor said several sources help identify Neal: - One source said during a conversation with Neal, he pointed towards a funeral flyer that contained Thomas' photo and said that "he did that." - Another source said that in a conversation Neal admitted to Thomas' murder. There was also a source who witnessed Neal shoot Thomas. Neal will be extradited to Pinellas County Jail from Taylor Correctional Institute in Perry, FL.

I would really like to build an eco-friendly home, but the process seems daunting to someone like me with zero experience or knowledge in the field. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated. I’m especially looking for cost-effective methods as our budget is sadly going to have to determine how “green” we can be. Thanks! 7 years ago We are building our eco-friendly dream right now and blogging about the entire process! Follow and learn from a Canadian family building a home in the City of Calgary. The project is an environmentally friendly, modern small house that blends into the cultural heritage of urban Calgary. Our site includes research from home building sites, home renovation sites, and Calgary companies involved in our home building project 7 years ago I envision homes of the future having to use other resources other than natural gas and coal. I see my home as being close to a waterfall, and using the water’s movement to generate power for the fridge, the microwave, small electronics, the TV, and the washing machine. I see my home having loads of candles and oil lamps, rather than lightbulbs. Skylights will be spread throughout. There will be a greenhouse on the property, a reasonably small one. That will be where the food comes from. I will fasten plastic tubing to the framework of the greenhouse which will have misting holes throughout. To water the plants, I will simply fill a barrel full of water, and use a hand pump to create a suction that will cause the water to push through the piping and water the plants. We will have an outhouse with a dumbwaiter to lift the poopoo tub, and then use the poo to fertilize. If that ends up being nasty, we will simply poo and that will be the end of it.

Katrina Aid Today Grassroots Grant Program Revises Award Date Grants up to $500,000 for local organizations providing case management and direct aid to Katrina survivors are being considered by United Methodist Committee on Relief. The grant award date is now the first week of May. Over 50 local organizations applied. Privately Funded Grants cover a 16-month program of case management for Katrina-affected survivors, carried out by local agencies. Unlike the sub-grants awarded to the nine national Katrina Aid Today partners in December 2005, these privately funded sub-grants may use up to 35% of the budget in direct aid to clients. Direct aid covers such expense as doctor bills, housing, school fees, and other needs of families still working through their recovery plans. The national grants are monitored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Selection Process A Grants Review Board of five UMCOR staff experienced in United States domestic disaster response will make final recommendations to the UMCOR board of directors. UMCOR's board of directors is the authorizing body for the funding under this aspect of the national case management consortium formed in 2005. Final approval for proposals will take place during the first week of May, 2006. UMCOR's board of directors reserves the right to fund all or none of the proposals submitted. Priority Areas Highlighted in the RFP The request for proposals lists the priority areas that UMCOR wants to support in order to balance the total Katrina Aid Today case management services across the United States. For example, some states with evacuees do not currently have a Katrina Aid Today consortium partner at work there. However, UMCOR was considering proposals from all parts of the nation, including the Gulf States.

A water rate hearing set for Wednesday for the Town of Shelburne has been rescheduled until Jan. 15 due to impending winter weather. The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board was to consider proposed water rate hikes after a recent water rate study showed that without major changes, the Town’s utility would be almost $1-million in debt within two years. The increase would see the annual charge for an average household rise more than 70 per cent …from $820 to $1400 a year. All municipal utilities in Nova Scotia are expected to operate self sufficiently. But without a major increase in rates, the water study painted a bleak fiscal picture for Shelburne’s water utility. That study, commissioned earlier this year and prepared by G.A. Isenor Consulting, recommended a series of rate increases over the next three years. Increases in base charges and water usage charges ranging from 50 per cent to more than 70 per cent for all users would come into effect on Jan. 1. Smaller rate increases would take place on April 1, 2014 and again in April 2015. The utility posted a deficit of nearly $200,[[phy_address]] year because water consumption has declined while still dealing with major debt servicing costs from the Water and Mowatt Street line extension project. That 2011 water line extension could have potentially added 120 customers to the system. The project was initially launched based on projections that 84 new customers would hook up. The tenders for the project came in far over budget, costs that were borne completely by the town utility. Then, after the project was complete, efforts to convince new potential customers to hook up were a failure and as yet only [[phy_address]] been added because of the extension. While there are hopes that rates can be decreased in the future if more large industrial customers come on board. While the Town is expected to submit evidence, there are no public witnesses scheduled for the hearing.

Speaker: Ed Kuepper: a legend interviewed, - Hard News: The Velvet Underground Etc., Hardly anyone bought that first Velvet Underground, but everyone who did went on to form a cult. How else can one explain the ongoing enthusiasm for these "recently rediscovered"--ie, this has been lying around for years, but we really didn't think until now that anybody would actually PAY to listen to it--recordings of long-lost shows? - Hard News: Conversation Starters, Freedland himself did as much when he noted an article by the odious Melanie Philips, about the group Independent Jewish Voices (whose members include Mike Leigh and Stephen Fry), which she chose to characterise as Jews for Genocide. No he didn't. It's a really good piece, and thank you for pointing it out. But the Phillips' headline (which she probably didn't even write herself) falls within within the bounds of a strong debate that Fry et al initiated. It does NOT offer an instance of somebody daring to question this or that Israeli policy and for their efforts receiving the most terrible public slandering as an anti-Semite. - Hard News: Conversation Starters, Says RB: "As the horror in Gaza grinds on, might I recommend Jonathan Freedland's writing in the Guardian? See Israel has plenty of tactics for war, but none for peace and Gaza after a Hamas rout will be an even greater threat to Israel. These columns will undoubtedly be earning Freedland the usual accusations that he is a self-hating Jew, but their logic seems persuasive to me." By all means recommend Freedland's writing--it's excellently presented--but please, go easy on the strawmen. The other link you give about these "usual accusations" of him being written off as a self-hating Jew actually doesn't bear out what you say. The chastened writer actually apologises to Freedland! In any event, it's probably unusual for that particular epithet to be used about Freedland anyway, since he's widely respected in the UK as a popular commentator with an notably strong Jewish connection. Still on the subject of "usual accusations" ... one strikingly recurrent theme among commentators at home and abroad who count themselves as "anti-Zionist" is, they say, that any serious criticism of Israel they make will often be unfairly treated as anti-Semitism by "right-wing" supporters of Israel, especially in the US. But has anyone ever documented this very serious charge by providing actual quotations, in context, showing one single media case, much less a consistent pattern. in which mainstream supporters of Israel have equated mere criticism of Israel with Nazism?

STILLWATER, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- Oklahoma entered Gallagher-Iba Arena without a win in its last four trips. Freshman JamesOn Curry extended that streak with his hot shooting. Curry tied a season-high with 22 points and Joey Graham added 22 as No. 10 Oklahoma State extended its Big 12 Conference winning streak to five games with a 79-67 victory over 18th-ranked Oklahoma. Oklahoma State, which had lost its last three games against ranked opponents, has won 27 straight home games, the longest streak in the nation. "When you go on the road and play in this type of environment against a team like that, there are two things you better be good at; don't turn the ball over and make your free throws," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said. "If we would have done a better job in those two areas we would have had a chance to win the game." The Sooners committed 15 turnovers and shot just 42 percent (5-of-12) from the free throw line as they lost for the third time in four games. After the Cowboys (18-3, 8-2 Big 12) dropped a 67-57 decision at Norman on January 24 behind an uncharacteristic 35-percent shooting performance, Curry made sure Oklahoma State sizzled from the field in this one. The 6-[[phy_address]] scored five of the Cowboys' first eight points and had 13 on 5-of-[[phy_address]] half as Oklahoma State built a slim, 35-33, advantage at the break. Oklahoma was able to stay close by outrebounding Oklahoma State, 14-9, and getting 10 points from reserve guard Lawrence McKenzie. In the second half, Curry ignited an 11-2 run with a follow shot and a layup within a 27-second span. John Lucas completed the spurt with a 3-pointer for a 48-39 lead with 15:39 remaining. "JamesOn Curry just keeps getting better and better," Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said. "He has got ice in his veins. For a freshman, he is really a nice player." "I think he took my word two weeks ago when I told him to pretend he was playing back on the playground or back in high school. He has been shooting the ball like that in practice." The Sooners closed within 60-56 with 7:15 remaining on a follow shot by Johnnie Gilbert, but Lucas answered with his third 3-pointer of the game. Stephen Graham dunked and Joey Graham added a jumper to make it 67-56 with 5:37 left. After shooting 59 percent (13-of-22) in the first half, Oklahoma State cooled down to 49 percent (17-of-35) after intermission but did an outstanding job protecting the ball, committing just two of its 10 turnovers. On the defensive end, the Cowboys forced the Sooners into six turnovers in the second half, scoring six points off the giveaways. They also topped the Sooners in rebounding with a 18-16 margin, including six offensive boards. "I thought that in the second half we played about as well as we have played in a while," Sutton said. "I thought our defense was real active, but we still did not do a good job of keeping the ball out of the post. I thought we rebounded better in the second half. We forced some turnovers and were able to run with the ball." "When we were in Norman, we didn't play physical against them," Oklahoma State forward Ivan McFarlin said. "We wanted to force the contact on them, come out and play hard. We wanted to force their guards to make plays." Oklahoma point guard Drew Lavender, who had eight points and seven assists in the Sooners' win on January 24, scored just three on 1-of-4 shooting and had three assists against two turnovers. Curry finished 9-of-13 from the field with three 3-pointers, Lucas scored 15 points and Ivan McFarlin chipped in 13 and 10 rebounds for Oklahoma State, which shot 53 percent (30-of-57) with eight 3-pointers. The Cowboys entered the game shooting 51 percent from the floor this season, ranking first in the conference and fifth in the nation. Kevin Bookout scored 15 points, Taj Gray had 14 and McKenzie added 13 for Oklahoma (17-5, 6-3), which fell to 13-[[phy_address]] Oklahoma State since Sutton became the coach in 1990.
NBA Trade Rumors – The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Clippers continue their negotiations regarding the Kevin Garnett for DeAndre Jordan trade, and could potentially come to an agreement. If KG and Doc Rivers are shipped out of town, the Celtics are most definitely blowing the team up, and would look to trade Paul Pierce during the NBA Draft, according to ESPN: Pierce is not part of this trade, but sources say that the Clippers hatched this ambitious plan to acquire Rivers and Garnett with the intent from the start to land Pierce as well. The Celtics have until June 30 to either buy out Pierce for $5 million or guarantee him $15.3 million for next season, but it’s believed that Boston wants to wait until the draft later this month to see if it can make a trade to get something for Pierce instead of just setting him free. While the Clippers seem to be inclined to get their hands on Pierce, there is little to no chance that the Celtics would buy him out. He is on an expiring deal and still has trade value, so the team will most definitely look to get something for him. Unless the Clippers would be willing to offer some kind of a package involving Eric Bledsoe for Pierce, the two teams would probably not hook up on another deal. Waiting until the draft would be the smartest thing to do for Boston right now, as they could easily trade their way into the draft, or at the very least land a trade exception and some other pieces for Pierce.

Journalism Students Go Pro A program run at Arizona State distributes students' stories to the New York Times and CNN. Articles written and produced by some of the nation's top journalism students are being distributed to major media outlets including the New York Times, CNN, and Gannett through a program run by Arizona State University's journalism school, the Associated Press reports. The News 21 initiative, which operates through ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, trains students to present news in innovative ways. Each of the 60 stories already completed involves both a "Changing America" theme and multimedia components like photo slide shows and video. Initiative participants from Columbia University, the University of California-Berkeley, and other schools spent 10 weeks this summer reporting on topics such as the nation's inefficient energy grid and the tough decisions college-educated young adults must make in a weak economy. This year marks News 21's fourth in operation, at a time when many major media outlets are rethinking their structure and refocusing their efforts on the Web and multimedia storytelling just as the News 21 students did.

Let's be frank -- we can't believe we're posting this but it just keeps getting sent to us. Firstly, carrier CSRs are typically the last to learn about anything Apple. We've actually gone to carriers the day of launch and they've known less about it than we have -- they're simply not informed. So please take the below account with a blue and white striped Death Star sized grain of salt. Now, an AT&T customer care representative has supposedly told a customer that Apple had confirmed this to them: More → What will the next generation iPhone 5 look like when it's finally released -- likely this fall? Will it be like the iPhone 3GS was, the same casing with faster processors, cameras, etc.? Or will it be an all new design inspired by the MacBook Air or iPod touch? (I've gone out on a limb and said my wish is a return of the metal back). Maybe a bigger screen like some of those Android Phones, or a smaller screen like the nano? Or could Apple push the pace of innovation again and finally give us a translucent device, like we've seen in Avatar or Iron Man? If you could sit down with Steve Jobs and Jony Ive, and they asked you what you want iPhone 5 to look like, what would you tell them? Vote in the poll above and then let us know the details in the comments below. (And watch the video after the break for a funny take on iPhone 5...) Apple has pulled the trigger on quad-core "Sandy Bridge" i5 and i7 equipped, ThunderBolt port sporting, FaceTime HD packing, iMacs and as Steve Jobs would say, they're real screamers. According to the iPhone Download Blog, Apple may be building two different iPhone 5 models for release this fall; a normal and pro model. The source of the information is an employee of an Apple parts supplier. M.I.C Gadget got their hands on some photos of what could be a prototype iPhone 5 with a larger display in the white varient. The unit looks to have a 3.7" screen with edge-to-edge glass running an unknown version of iOS and a new proximity sensor reported to be included in the official White iPhone 4. Or it could be a KIRF. iPhone [[phy_address]] been escalating recently, and this latest photo adds no real clarity to the mix. On one hand we have Joshua Topolsky's 4-inch display with a teardrop MacBook Air-style chassis, on the other, the same design as the iPhone 4 with a faster processor and better graphics? Or neither? Your guess is as good as ours at this point.

Huge iPhone 5 rumor from Joshua Topolsky today, as he's heard that Apple's upcoming iPhone 5 may indeed be the total redesign he first mentioned back in his Engadget days, with iPod touch-style thinness, a teardrop, MacBook Air-style chassis, a potentially edge-to screen with no bezel, and Palm Pre-style inductive charging and gesture area. Mickey Papillon nailed the Verizon iPhone and the chipset it would be using a year before it was announced, so when he says LTE just might be coming to iPhone 6 in 2012 via the Qualcomm MDM9615, we're going to pay attention.

Summary: Suffering from acute kidney failure, Uncle Boonmee has chosen to spend his final days surrounded by his loved ones in the countryside. Surprisingly, the ghost of his deceased wife appears to care for him, and his long lost son returns home in a non-human form. Contemplating the reasons for his illness, Boonmee treks through the jungle with his family to a mysterious hilltop cave – the birthplace of his first life… In his signature cinematic style, the acclaimed Thai filmmaker delivers a strange and mystical world of visionary beauty.

Who needs words when you have cinema? - Spirit, animal, and human worlds coexist in dreamy harmony in this remarkable drama. - A work of unostentatious beauty and uncloying sweetness, at once sophisticated and artless, mysterious and matter-of-fact, cosmic and humble, it asks only a measure of Boonmeevian acceptance: The movie doesn't mean anything-it simply is. - As Apichatpong erases, once again, the barriers between the celestial and terrestrial, he also does away with the cordons between film genres - this is sci-firomancefamilyreligiousthrillercomedyporn.

This movie is a cinematic marvel. Every scene feels natural even though many of them are surreal, and it leaves you with a great feeling. It's beautiful.… Expand - Jun 18, 2012Probably the weirdest film I've ever watched but it is because of this unusual weirdness that constructs the most unique and remarkable movie in Thai film's industry. it also shows downfall of Thai morality- how temptations were seen as ordinary compensation. How humans are now living in 2 totally different world - the world of their own selves and the world that has been built by society which highly provokes the sense of importance of self-notification, nothing is true unless you've experienced with it.… Expand - - Aug 5, 2011I understand asian culture and how they relate to death and ghosts in a whole other way. However, I just can't get pass this simple fact. How can your dead daughter appear next to you and you not be shocked and then your dead son turn into a monkey and you act as if that isn't a big deal either. What the hell is going on in asia!!!… Expand - Mar 17, 2011My favorite part of this movie came when I needed to go to the bathroom during a sequence when the main characters are walking through a forest. Music is playing, they are walking through the forest saying nothing, and I thought, "This movie is really slow and that diet coke has worked it's way to my bladder - time to go." So I went to the bathroom, checked my e-mail, listened to my phone messages, then walked back in to the theatre. They were still walking. I'm not kidding. Now, I'm a fan of Buddhism, I've been to Thailand...but this movie bored me to pieces. It has ten minutes of interesting spiritual/conceptual stuff, stuck in a loooong, sloooow, movie. Pretentious people will love this movie, because it will make them feel smart for liking it. Smart people will rent the dvd and watch it at ten times speed.… Expand - Apr 15, 2012This movie is one of the worst I have ever seen, and we generally like art films. It is so poorly done it would get a failing grade as a junior high school video project (and they'd have to delete the fish... don;t ask, it;s boring too). In retrospect I wish I had made at least one trip to the restroom, as another reviewer said they wisely did, to relieve the boredom. For me the highlight of the movie (weak though it was) was the ridiculous black shag rug costumes (which zipped up the front) with ridiculous glow-in-the-dark red eyes that the "monkey ghosts" wore. A truly unrelieved snoozer, without a scrap of interest or socially redeeming merit to be had. Save you time and your money!… Expand - Oct 21, 2012Although, this isn't the reason I had a problem with it, this movie is very slow moving, and very artsy. There are people who hate movies like this no matter what, and there are people who love movies like this no matter what. I think the former is generally more mindful, and able to think for themselves. For me personally, like with any type of movie, a slow moving artistic movie has to be well made, and be able to achieve what it is intending to accomplish more me to like it. This was not that movie. The premise basically gives you every piece of philosophical insight this movie has to offer. A man is dying, and looks back on his past lives. That's it. It doesn't go anywhere from there. It just shows what happens in this guy's past lives, without any sort of insight into this character's mind, and what he's going through, or any sort of commentary on life and death, which you might have expected from the premise. Usually, if a movie is slow moving, it is to provoke emotion, not to make a two hour movie out of 30 minutes worth of script.… Expand Trailers - - 1:40 - (1 view) Related Articles - Published: January 5, 2012Get our final rankings for the past year's best- and worst-reviewed films and see how 2011 compared to previous years.
Slomka's current deal expires next summer but, after leading the club to its two most successful seasons, Hannover is keen on tying him down to a longer deal, especially given the positive signs from the start of the present campaign. The Reds are currently fifth in the Bundesliga with 11 points, just three behind the top three. "Our aspirations are the same," said Schmadtke. "That is a foundation to be able to lead successful negotiations and that is what we are doing." Slomka, who led Schalke to the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2008, is developing a strong reputation which has also attracted praise from Bayern Munich president However, Slomka would not use Hannover as a springboard to a better job, saying: "If I extend my contract with Hannover, then I will put my heart and soul into it. "There would be no alternatives then," he added on Sport1 television. "Of course it is nice to be liked and rated in the Bundesliga, especially when your work is recognised."

Just when it seemed like the storm had passed for Bucs left guard Carl Nicks, who overcame a torn plantar plate in his foot last season and a bout with MRSA to return to the football field, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports is reporting that Nicks is suffering from a recurrence of the highly-resistant form of staph. Nicks had complained to members of the training staff about a sore left foot on Wednesday. A culture performed on Nicks’ foot confirmed what an infectious disease specialist believes is a reoccurrence. Nicks was limited during Wednesday’s practice and did not participate Thursday, causing some to wonder about the Pro Bowl guard’s condition. When asked if Nicks was suffering from an infection, Schiano responded, “I’m going to say it’s his foot. We’re examining everything. It started to bother him. He tells our trainers, and we look into it. Now we’re doing all the tests you can do to make sure.” Two hours later, the Bucs confirmed the diagnosis. “Same place, same location ,” said general manager Mark Dominik via the Tampa Bay Times. “From everything we’ve been told and understand, this does happen, which is why MRSA is hard to treat.” When Tynes and Nicks were diagnosed, the Bucs hired a specialized cleaning crew to come in twice and sanitize the facility. The NFLPA is currently investigating if the Buccaneers followed proper protocol in the diagnosis and treatment of kicker Lawrence Tynes, who is currently on a PICC line to rid his body of the debilitating and sometimes-deadly infection.

Reasons WHY Brian Burke is NOT under pressure to trade for Roberto Luongo , while we all know he is interested. (just because most conversation is about Leafs acquiring Luongo). #1. Kessel, Phaneuf, & Lupul will walk for nothing if team keeps missing the postseason. What is important to remember is that all these players will be approached about extensions a year prior to or during the season and if they do not want to resign then all can be moved for significant assets (decide for yourself). Lupul can be traded without restriction. Phaneuf can be traded without restriction, although being team captain his movement is least likely. Kessel can be moved but his limitation is unknown. However, if the new CBA changes RFA status up one more year, Kessel will not be a UFA, rather and RFA and cannot walk. Either way, the likelihood of them walking and leaving the Leafs in a whole is extremely low and close to impossible. #2. Goalie Market and future UFA’s. If this season is played as a shortened season, then it is possible that there are other goalies on the market to tandem with Reimer. It is hard to know but a package could be made and not set the Leafs back. It may be more of a risk but Brian Burke is known for taking risks. If the lockout goes all season, then the following goalies will potentially be UFA’s for Burke to target: Niklas Backstrom, Tim Thomas, Nikolai Khabibulin, Evgeni Nabokov, Jimmy Howard, Mike Smith, Jose Theodore, Ray Emery, etc. #3.

Over the last few weeks, all we’ve heard about is Dale Earnhardt Jr. and where is going to drive for — not that that bothers me — but let us not forget that there are 42 other guys on the track each week, and several of them have been VERY impressive as of late. I’m calling them the "Forgotten Ones." Although they have had their moments of notoriety, they have fallen through the cracks. But they are making their presence known. Of whom do I speak? Namely Martin Truex Jr., Casey Mears and "The Rocketman" Ryan Newman. All three drivers over the last few weeks have performed brilliantly on the track. Truex, Earnhardt’s teammate, has — as Emeril would like to say — "turned it up a notch" since Dale’s announcement and has finished in the top five in each of the last three races, one of those being his first career win. He has surpassed Mr. Earnhardt as he now finds himself 10th in points, making him a serious contender for the chase. Then there’s Casey Mears, the step-child of Hendrick Motorsports, who in the last four weeks has three top 5’s and a 13th and his first win as well. He’s moved from 35th in the points standings to 19th, only 200 or so out of the top 12. He also has made some great moves on the track and in the pits to make people stand up and take notice. Then finally "The Rocketman" Ryan Newman — five of the last seven races in the top 10 and 15 in points, 75 out of the coveted top 12. Not only that, but Ryan has four poles, second only to Jeff Gordon. He’s gettin' it done on qualifying day! Keep your eye on these three. I don’t think they are done yet…you’ll probably see them all in the victory lane again this season. One more thing I do have to say — well done Toyota. A few weeks ago I chastised Toyota for their lackluster performance, but they are gettin’ it done too. Typically in NASCAR if a certain manufacturer thinks that they are at some sort of performance disadvantage, they go whine to NASCAR to change the rules to favor them — which is why we have the Car of Tomorrow. But not Toyota, they stepped up to the plate and figured out why they were getting their butts kicked week in and week out — with a major overhaul in the engine department and a renewed focus on making races and being consistent. I think the results show for themselves. So, for all you Toyota diehards, you have my respect, maybe we’ll make racers out of you guys yet! Stay tuned boys and girls, 15 races down, 21 to go . . .
ALGONQUIN — Down a long, country road, and up a short, gravel driveway, is an old, white farmhouse. Beside the front door hangs a sculpture of a bunny, lounging in a hammock. In a subtle way, it shows visitors that the house is occupied by rabbits. Volunteers of all ages regularly visit No Splitting Hares Rabbit Rescue, Inc., at [[phy_address]] to help care for the abandoned bunnies inside, and prepare the fluffy animals for adoption. Some of the regular volunteers, according to Lisa Reemer, founder of No Splitting Hares, include a couple of senior citizens who hold the bunnies, because rabbits like to cuddle; a retired high school chemistry teacher who collects free lettuce from grocery stores and spends hours feeding it to all of the animals; and a man on dialysis who donates the cardboard boxes from his medicine to be used as “bunny carriers.” The boxes provide a confined space that prevents the bunnies from sliding around during the drive home. The bunnies are domestic pets, not wildlife, Reemer said. These rabbits live indoors and are litter box trained, much like cats. “When bunnies are well supervised, they can be a lot of fun,” said Reemer’s assistant, Ashley Brooks. “They run and click their heels when they’re excited and chatter their teeth when they’re happy.” The bunnies are kept in a holding area upstairs, until they are ready for adoption, which, according to Reemer, means, “Vet checked, maintaining their weight, and not aggressive.” It could take weeks or months, she said. It depends on the bunny. Plenty of bunnies Reemer carefully screens prospective owners by requiring them to complete an application. “If a customer says, I want a boy and a girl, and I’m going to breed, we say no,” she said. “There are plenty of bunnies to take care of in here.” She also makes sure they understand rabbits before they take one home. Taking care of a bunny involves changing its litter box daily, cleaning its cage, filling its water bottle, feeding it, and grooming it, Reemer said. Bunnies eat apples, bananas, hay, lettuce, pears, rabbit feed and raisins. By the time a bunny is adopted, Reemer said, “it has eaten its weight in food.” She spends $800 a month feeding the 150 to 200 rabbits she houses at any given time. Open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and by appointment during the week, No Splitting Hares usually adopts out from eight to 12 bunnies each week. In its four and a half years of operation, the organization has placed more than 1,500 bunnies in homes. Reemer obtains the rabbits from area animal control officers, animal hospitals, police departments and owners who surrender their pets, because they face eviction. A single mother of five children, Reemer was running a Department of Children and Family Services-licensed group home for foster kids at her house when she witnessed what she says was the miracle that influenced her to establish No Splitting Hares. An 18-month-old baby, now her adopted daughter, was participating in a physical therapy session when Reemer let out the family bunny for some exercise. The doctors who diagnosed the infant with failure to thrive, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, cocaine exposure, and Attention Deficit Disorder, doubted she would ever walk or talk. The minute Reemer’s bunny was loose, the baby proved them wrong. She began reaching for the animal and expressing herself, Reemer said. From then on, the bunny was incorporated into her therapy routine, and Reemer became a proponent of animal-assisted therapy. She rents the farmhouse headquarters of No Splitting Hares from her grandmother and keeps the not-for-profit organization afloat by bartering services, and selling bunny supplies and crafts. Adopting a bunny costs from $35 to $50 and includes a lifetime of toenail clipping at No Splitting Hares. Reemer asks that in exchange for the service, customers donate new or used supplies for the bunnies or the house. A list of much-needed items can be found on her web site, www.nosplittinghares.com. A recent donation of $5,000 paid for the organization’s pick-up truck, she said.
For the past several weeks Georgia Forestry plows and city and county fire departments have responded to a number of fires throughout the City of Baxley and Appling County. Chief Ranger Jeff Fariss told The News-Banner that fires that occurred on Thursday, September 1 burned approximately 150 acres. The fires occurred on Highway 144 and on Cleland Lane. The Highway 144 used six forestry plows including three from Appling County, two from Wayne and one from Bacon. Fariss also stated that there were a host of county fire personnel that responded to the fire. The Cleland Lane fire was responded to by local fire fighters as well as forestry plows from Jeff Davis and Toombs. Even though the community got some much needed rain over the weekend, the threat for fire is still extremely high and residents are asked to not burn unless it is absolutely necessary. Remember to contact the Georgia Forestry Commission to obtain burn permits before you burn.

FIFA 13 is released at the end of the week and as always one of the favourite features is the career mode. To celebrate I’ve made a list of eight teams worth managing. Since this edition allows for managers to join international teams, I’ve included a couple of national team jobs as well. 8. Recreativo Huelva – Liga Segunda Alexander Mackay and Robert Russell Ross were two Scotsmen living in Spain. They worked at the Rio Tinto mines as doctors and they created Recreativo Huelva as a way for the miners to keep in shape under their supervision. Football had finally arrived in Spain. El Decano won several Andalusian championships in the early 1910s and they were the first Spanish team to defeat a Portuguese side when they beat Sporting Club de Portugal; more commonly known as Sportin Lisbon. They have enjoyed a few seasons in the top division but they have always end up in a relegation battle. At the moment they currently sit in the second division and show no evidence of challenging for promotion. Why not show some love for Spain’s oldest team? Real Madrid and Barcelona may be the most affluent but Huelva will always be the oldest. Take them back to the top division in Spanish football and win a championship; omething Recre have never managed to do. Write about FIFA 13 and GET PAID.

I think I'll take Chow's tip one step further. I often find that cookie dough softens too much as I cut, so that the last half of the cookies end up squashed instead of round. If I keep the unsliced cookie dough in the mold while slicing and just push it out from the opening as I go, the paper tube should help it keep the bulk of the cookie dough in a circular shape even if it softens. → Check Out the Full Video Tip: How to Cut Perfectly Round Cookies from Chow.com Related: Cookie Baking Tip: A Quick Way to Cool Hot Baking Sheets (Image: Chow.com) 9 Comments If you rotate the cylinder a little bit before each slice, the cookies last half of the cookies won't end up squished. I use the roll every time I chill cookie dough logs and it works perfectly! Brilliant!! The roll might even insulate the cookie dough a little. But couldn't you also put an ice pack on top of the uncut portion, maybe wrapped in a towel? Maybe that's a little too far. What a great tip! I like imperfect cookies!!

Inside a Gymnasium at a boys' high school in Warsaw, four children are playing war with wooden blocks. They are: Joseph, Bronislava ("Bronya"), Helen ("Hela"), and the youngest, five-year-old Marya ("Manya"). These are the children of Monsieur Vladislav Sklodovska, professor of physics and under-inspector of the school. The Sklodovskas have lived at the school since shortly after Manya's birth. Both Monsieur and Madame Sklodovska are wellborn and intelligent, their families part of the land-owning minor Polish nobility now suffering from the rule of the Russian empire. A century earlier, both families might have lived comfortably as farmers, but with the estates having grown poorer and poorer, education has now become the ideal. Madame Sklodovska received a good education at a private school in Warsaw, and then became a teacher and finally director of the same school, a post she...

Come spend some time in our groovy Mid-mod-inspired basement suite. You'll have a private bathroom, your own bar and fridge, large kitchen table, and vintage entertainment center- just gotta wait for the vacuum tubes to warm up! You will enjoy your own private entrance and should park on the side street near the back door for easy access. The rest of the house is craftsman style with lots of green features. Enjoy basking in our sunny backyard under the arbor (soon-to-be) covered in honeysuckle, watch our vegetables and herbs grow, listen to our chickens cluck away, or just enjoy that our 6kW solar system is taking care of all of the electricity. We serve a wide variety of breakfast options at our nearby cafe and bakery, Posies Bakery & Cafe. You're receive $5 credit per person. We both own businesses and have two young kids, so life is busy. The main house is never perfect, oftentimes bustling with activity before and after work, but your space is calm and your own. Please note that the space is in the basement, so footsteps- especially little ones before 8am- can be heard above. Children are welcome in the space itself, though it is not an ideal for little ones... more man cave, less of a fun play space. Posies Bakery & Cafe is just a short 4 block walk in Historic Downtown Kenton. Enjoy the local restaurants, bars, library, shops, and services all within walking distance to Historic Kenton. Major grocery is 3 blocks away and a gourmet one 1 MAX stop away (or 6 blocks). Some feature attractions include a giant Paul Bunyan statue listed on the national historic registry, rose gardens, beautiful Kenton Park or Harper's Playground (an ADA accessible playground) just 7 blocks away. 2 blocks from MAX and 2 different bus lines (#4 and #75).

Super cozy and the hosts were very accommodating. Staying here was a highlight of our trip. After a 10+ hour drive, we were met outside and welcomed. It felt like we were family. I think Jonathan and Jessie truly cared about our comfort and enjoyment of the city. Jonathan sat with us and went over maps and excursion possibilities. This was our first experience with airbnb. If airbnb were smart, they would use the MadMen Basement experience as an example for the rest of the program. Sweet, stylish space. Jonathan and Jamie definitely have put lots of artistic energy into making this basement beautiful and very comfortable. They are a sweet family and do a great job hosting. They even brought us some toys for my little one to play with. The vinyl was spinning and the ice was fresh, just as other reviewers noted. Perfect, and we'll be back! Jonathan is wonderful and the space is beautiful! Enjoy! My boyfriend and I stayed here during a spontaneous long weekend in Portland. The room was gorgeous! Absolutely of another era, and our hosts were nice. If you have a car, you're about ten minutes away from downtown, and around 20 by train. This is a basement apartment, and yes, you will hear small children running. A few times, we heard voices very clearly. But the kids go to bed fairly early, and the amazing radio plays great old jazz, which covers most of the noise. The only real concern was that a few bottles went missing from the bar, mysteriously. But would stay again, and really lovely weekend. :) What a great find! Upon arrival there was a lit candle and wonderful jazz music to put us right in another era! This place is awesome. We would recommend it to anyone and stay again in a minute. Jonathan was super flexible and prompt in getting back to us. Make sure to check out the bakery.... Was just another great part of staying at this gem of a place! Jonathan was a great host! This Lounge is really clean and neat. There are darts to play if you get bored! Jonathan really looked out for our best interest. We chose Jonathan's place because it was near the Moda Center for a TrailBlazers game and he recommended the Max light rail and gave us times that we can take it. Jonathan and Jessie's Bakery "Posies" is super good as well!! The $5 dollar credit per person was plenty for a good breakfast. We got the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Sandwich and it was delicious!! The whole vibe of the Basement Lounge was excellent. We felt like we were in MadMen! There was really cool artwork there and Jazz playing on a 50 year old stereo too! If you want to see some of our experience there you can check out my Instagram account robert_valdez08 for some videos I took. The Bed was comfy and clean, and everything smelled great. Their Kids are adorable. When we checked out, they were outside helping dad wash the car and it was the cutest thing. We will definitely be staying there in the future!! This basement quickly became a favorite during our vacation. Both Jonathan and Jessie were excellent hosts providing us with credit at their coffee shop (delicious!) and prompt communication throughout our stay. There's something special about dealing with REAL people rather than a hotel clerk who hates his job and sounds like a robot (no offense to anyone who falls under that category). The room was warm and the shower pressure was excellent. One thing though, it got a little noisy at times. I think because it's a basement, it's not really sound proof so we could hear footsteps and random thumps every now and then. Overall very happy and would book again! Great overall stay in the Mad Men basement spot! We love the coziness and the vintage feel of the place and with the free breakfast ( just about) from the hosts cafe down the street, it's a wonderful time. Definitely going to stay there again next time in PDX! This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

Suggestions For Married Men Who Like to Dress Up Today I read a story in the Boston Globe, in an advice column. A woman was very distressed because she just found out her husband likes to dress up in women's undies and clothes - though in secret. She went on to say how she is going to need psychiatric counseling and thinks the incident is going to ruin her marriage, even though she said he's a great husband and father. The poor guy thought his wife would be more understanding when she found out, but is now learning the hard way that he should've "tested the waters" first. Perhaps all you guys who haven't let their wives in on their secret yet could try this: For Halloween, tell your wife you want to dress as a woman, and ask her to help you out. Play dumb, saying you don't know what to wear and could you borrow some of her clothes. I once read of a couple who did this and they both got so turned on by the whole idea that after the Halloween party, they had the best sex of their lives - while he was still dressed as a woman! At least this way, you can get an idea whether your wife would be turned on or off if you came out in the open about your secret. I just wish it were now the social norn where we could wear skirts or dresses whenever we wanted as a normal thing in society. I've often wonder why married guys just don't find male friends to visit(a place to to guy things- like work on a friends old car or something-A lot of us would enjoy haveing fem dressing friends visit& be doing something we enjoy!! I've often wonder why married guys just don't find male friends to visit(a place to to guy things- like work on a friends old car or something-A lot of us would enjoy haveing fem dressing friends visit& be doing something we enjoy!! what do people think of a guy doing this BEFORE they are even engaged as a way to bring it into the open, yet not worrying about legal problems ect. my other idea to bring it into the open is if I can sleep at hers, if I forget undies then she will hopefully say oh just wear mine and from there I would slowly develop and unravel my fetish to my girl freind Ultimately it must be better than doing it in secret for years or breaking it off just after we get married but what do others think As I am a closet cross dresser this would allow me to see if I like wearing a dress in public before anything got serious OK, although the original article is [[phy_address]] to comment on this for the benefit of others who think this is a good idea (suggest dressing up for halloween and then pretend you don't know what to wear): Don't. BAD idea. Why? On the surface it seems like a good way to ease your wife into the idea of seeing you dressed up, and in that sense it's good. The problem is that you are attempting to solve the problem of lying to your wife by.... lying to your wife. Absolutely, I will preach until the day I die that crossdressing men should have no secrets from our wives, and this is a secret that if at all possible should be told BEFORE you marry, so if on the off chance that she absolutely can't live with it, you can end the relationship before it gets ugly with lawyers, alimony, ilkely pubilc spectacle, and worst of all kids caught in the middle. if it's too late for that, at least tell her NOW rather than wait any longer. Explain your fears that she would hate you for it; explain that she does not have to worry about losing you to another man or lose her husband to become a woman (assuming all that is true, of course. If you do want gay sex outside of your marriage, you have bigger problems than what your wife doesn't know you are wearing). Explain to her how early it started for you and (if it is true) how much you have tried but were unable to stop. Be prepared to answer all of her ob Yes, she might be so disgusted that she still ends up leaving you. That's the risk you have to take if you seriously want your wife to ever trust you again. Most likely she will at least understand and still support you, even if she isn't thrilled with this side of you. And if you're really really lucky, she will be delighted and look forward to using you as her own life-sized dressup doll. Well I would be surprised if she accepted it but anyway. I certainly had plans of telling my future girl freind if it ever gets serious. Its a good idea, thanx for share... I also have an another opinion, share early, maybe it will ruin the romance and love, but i think still better, then living in lie... And maybe if somebody is enough lucky will find a woman who accept that. Until we can do only few thing. Stand up and prove a dressed man is not necessarily gay. Of course if we going out regularly we can be more visible, probably sooner accepted by the society. I do. Excellent idea. And it will work. Melissa was born about two years ago in a house where my love had slowly died over the years. A once vibrant marriage had become cold and stiff as my wife withdrew into her head. I had made the promise to love honour and obey so I did, even though my body and mind craved affection from a loved one. My children slowly drifted out into the world until I was left alone with my nightmare. One day when I was out shopping, I drifted into the lingerie section of my local market. Seeing the beautiful items stirred something deep within me. Something I had almost forgotten about after all the years. As a youngster I had tried on my mothers underwear while alone in the house. I loved the sensation of the soft material against my skin and the restriction of her girdles on my body. I was discovered by her one day and there was hell to pay, so that was that until I saw those lovely knickers and bras in the store many years later. On impulse I selected two pairs of lace and silk knickers and a black lace bra. The knickers were size 20 and the bra was a 40b. It was just pot luck guessing the sizes but I was sweating when I got to the checkout with my girly items. I needn't have worried. The checkout girl just ran them through without bl I have met this wonderful woman, enjoys making love, just natural to be with. She's a part time artist, wears jeans, or trou when going out. We had such a great relationship brewing. Then she arrived one day, I was working at the computer, wearing my at home stuff, a pleasant top, heels, a little lip. Well ! After delivering a lecture, she stormed out, then went home and cried her eyes out. The deceit ! Not telling her ! Well, I did, really. So now our relationship is gradually dwindling to a close. I really thought she'd understand. Dunno whether to be happy or sad. I have found that especially in our older generation, that women just don't.(or wont) As you say, bunchopanties, perhaps we are just a bit early. Darn. Wanking's on then, I got pretty good at that. Cheers I for one, never hid it in the first place! She has seen me completly dressed in female attire several times. I even wear vintage nylon nightgowns to bed every night. lucky guy I would love to get there with my future girl as well Very well said, bunchopanties! Unfortunately, in this forum you are preaching to the choir. But I know I don't have the guts to put this out there under my "straight" name...:-( To all the women out there whose first reaction is disgust, revulsion or something milder... consider this. That is exactly the reaction a man might have had in 1900 if his wife told him that sometimes, only at home, she would like to wear pants. Absurd thought, isn't it? But that was the societal norm then, that women in slacks were either clowning in drag or lesbians. The truth is some people, regardless of gender, prefer to dress feminine and some prefer to dress masculine. So what? It's only clothes. And yet the taboo of it makes it a fetish for those of us who really, really can't stand pretending 100% of our waking lives. It doesn't make a man gay, or a different person, or even weird (only one of many, many closeted 'sissies') that he prefers this feminine ex I would compare it to women who get secretly aroused if they enter a men's room or men's locker room. The taboo of it, the transgender transgression of it, and the fact that it's just a room and there is nothing really sexual about it - in fact, 'most' people think men's rooms are disgusting, why would THAT turn anyone on? If you're a woman who is, as the cliche goes, 'turned on by a man in uniform' - imagine wearing that uniform for him, and him being aroused and stripping it off of you. If you can imagine that, can you see where he is coming from? Peta asks why women can wear men's clothes and it's not perverted. I think it's mostly because women throughout the 20th Century demanded it. And now it's not unusual, or a sexual comment, but just okay with everybody. The women who wore suits, pants and men's attire were viewed harshly and as lesbians... until too many 'normal' women stood by them and supported them and today the most conservative or wild, feminine, submissive, whatever, girl can wear pants and it's no big deal to anyone. Men are raised to be so homophobic, however, that I believe it will be many generations before boys will wear skirts to school and no one will bl If you read that last sentence and thought - Ugh! I hope that never happens! Ask yourself - not in public, but inside yourself, what is the big deal? Really, what is the big deal? Sissies will always be sissies and macho men will always be macho men. Nothing will have changed except the sissies will be able to be honest and not feel alone, paranoid, crazy, and/or threatened. The world needs to shed the idea that all men should be G.I. Joe, just like we've shed the idea that all women should be Barbie. Wow. I've gone on for way too long. Sorry. don't worry about going on for too long- there is a lot of important info in there like laddies wearing pants in 1900 and other bits Good idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plan for Logan County. "Healthy Communities Partnership, funded by the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation, is proud to partner with the Logan County Regional Planning Commission. As we work toward becoming the healthiest community in America, we know that opportunities for safe, physical activity in the county is critical," Stoltzenburg said. "We are thrilled with this opportunity (to) collaborate with other supporters of the trail and look forward to moving this plan forward to make Logan County a better place to work, live and play." Bret Aukamp presented the Master Bicycle and Trailway Plan to the attendees. The plan was completed by Farnsworth Group, using a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation. The master plan provides a framework to facilitate transportation enhancements for bicyclists, pedestrians, in-line skaters and nonmotorized vehicles throughout Logan County. The plan was approved by the Logan County Regional Planning Commission in February and approved by the Logan County Board in May 2013. [to top of second column] Several people volunteered to sit on a steering committee that will work with the Logan County Regional Planning Commission in order to begin implementation of the plan. That group met on Nov. 12 to discuss next steps. "We are further in the trail process than we have ever been. The plan has been established and adopted by the county. Now it's time to do the work of determining the first steps for implementation," Stoltzenburg said. Interested residents are encouraged to like Healthy Communities Partnership on Facebook or contact Stoltzenburg at 217-605-5008 for updates regarding the trail.

Frankenstein (1931), while not exactly what Mary Shelley had envisioned, is a wonderfully told and well made adaptation of her story. The film has in many ways become more famous than Shelley's own story of Dr. Frankenstein and the creature he created. This version created many of the story elements that we normally associate with the Frankenstein mythology including what has become the most iconic look of the creature played by Boris Karloff. The story itself diverges greatly from that of Mary Shelley's original novel but this is not really a bad thing. The movie, for the most part, trims the fat and creates and much more lean and fast moving story. As much as I love the slow tension built by Shelley in her book I don't think it would have worked as well in this movie. The movie builds tension in its own way and has an ending that is shocking and in some ways heartbreaking. The film manages to create a creature that we can sympathize with even though he is not as fleshed out as he is in the book. The film, in a short time, shows us that Frankenstein's creation is not the monster that we normally associate with the story. He is actually a very gentle creature and most of his crimes either come about through self defense or because he does not understand the concepts of life and death. He is in many ways a child and doesn't understand the consequences of his actions. I really only have a couple minor problems with the way the story plays out in this film. I am not a fan of how the use of a criminal brain in the creature is used as an excuse for why he becomes evil. This is mainly because I don't see the creature as evil and I found this to be kind of a cop out explanation for why he starts killing people in the film. Also, while I do think they did a good job of making the monster a sympathetic creature I wish they had fleshed out one part of his story just a little more. I wish they had taken the time to explain how he decided to come after Dr. Frankenstein and his fiance in the film. Without a real explanation for this, the creature does just seem to come across as a monster instead of a sympathetic character. This film version of the story created much of the iconic imagery that has become widely associated with the story of Frankenstein. For starters the look of the monster that was used in this movie has become the widely accepted version of what Frankenstein's monster should look like. So much so that almost every version of the monster that is shown in popular culture is based on Boris Karloff's version of the monster. Even though he has no lines in the film, Karloff manages to do a great job of creating a character that is both sympathetic and frightening. The version also added the method of creating the monster that has become the accepted method in popular culture. In Shelley's original book no method is given for how the creature is created. There is no mention of using corpses to piece together a body, nor is there any mention of using electricity to reanimate the body. The only reference to the methods used in the novel are a brief mention of Dr. Frankenstein finding the secret of life through the new study of alchemy. The pieced together body and the lightning bolts have become the most iconic version of the creation of the monster though. The film also manages to have wonderful and interesting set design through-out. Dr. Frankenstein's lab looks amazing with the combination of what appears to be more modern electrical equipment against the old stone castle walls. The corridors running through the castle also always have an interesting and almost surreal look to them. The ending sequence of the film carries through with this interesting set design with the windmill where the final confrontation takes place. The stone and timber construction of the windmill gives the wonderful creepy and stark look that really adds to the lonesome tone of the end of the film. Overall I really do enjoy this version of the story. It takes a lot of liberties with Mary Shelley's story but it still keeps many of the themes that were present in the novel. The movie doesn't just make the creature the emotionless and mindless monster that later versions of the story would use. While he does not speak or even seem intelligent he does seem to have emotions and have a will of his own. So, while I think they could have used another 15 minutes in the middle of the story to flesh out the character of the creature a little more, I still feel that this version of the story is extremely well told and deserves its place in history for its iconic imagery and sympathetic portrayal of the creature.

John ArmstrongArticle Free Pass John Armstrong, (born November 25, 1758, Carlisle, Pennsylvania [U.S.]—died April 1, 1843, Red Hook, New York, U.S.), American soldier, diplomat, and politician who, as U.S. secretary of war during the War of 1812, was blamed for the British capture of Washington, D.C. Armstrong fought in the American Revolution (1775–83) and, as an officer in the Continental Army, was apparently the author of the Newburgh Addresses attacking Congress. After the war, he entered politics in New York, serving briefly as U.S. senator, and from 1804 to 1810 was U.S. minister to France. When the War of 1812 began, Armstrong served as a brigadier general and, from February 1813 until September 1814, as secretary of war under President James Madison, with whom he shared blame for the failure to provide men and equipment to protect Washington, D.C., from British troops, who burned the Capitol on August 24, 1814. Unpopularity forced Armstrong to resign his cabinet position. - Early America - Give Us Liberty - The Literary World (Authors & Poets) - Foreign Language Club - World War I: Fact or Fiction? - World Religions Quiz - Exploration and Discovery - The Ottoman Empire and the Middle East - Important Locations in U.S. History - An Odyssey of Grecian Literature - English Culture and Custom: Fact or Fiction? - Journey Around the World - A Study of William Shakespeare - History: Fact or Fiction? - Exploring Russian History - Emperors, Conquerers, and Men of War: Fact or Fiction? - Weapons and Warfare - Official Languages: Fact or Fiction? - Spies Like Us: 10 Famous Names in the Espionage Game - 7 Monarchs with Unfortunate Nicknames - 10 Failed Doomsday Predictions - 7 Collections of Writing Tips from Acclaimed Authors - From Box Office to Ballot Box: 10 Celebrity Politicians - List of Lists: 6 Extremely Random Historical Catalogs - 5 Wacky Facts about the Births and Deaths of U.S. Presidents - 10 Articles of Clothing That Deserve a Comeback - 8 Creepy Critters in the Work of Edgar Allan Poe - 13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird - All the World's a Stage: 6 Places in Shakespeare, Then and Now - 7 Thingamabobs (Probably) on Einstein's Desk - 7 Bizarre Spa Treatments - 10 Frequently Confused Literary Terms - 7 Women Warriors - When Losers Finish First: Top 10 Second Place “Victories” - 9 Diagnoses by Charles Dickens - 7 Alphabet Soup Agencies that Stuck Around Do you know anything more about this topic that you’d like to share?

If not, go into Setup > Device Setup and do that now. After that finishes, power down the player. Then pull the power plug for about 10 seconds, then power up and see if you still have the problem. If you DO still have the problem, disconnect everything from the player except for the power cord and your HDMI output cable. See if the problem still exists with only those. If so, also try lowering the output resolution of the player -- use the Resolution button on the remote, the values in the Front Panel display, Up/Down arrow to get to a value and Enter to select it. Try 480p output (not 480i). 480p is the "simplest" HDMI output. If that still fails then the odds are you do have a faulty player. If 480p output WORKS, next try 1080i output. One thing you could try while waiting to hear from OPPO about getting a replacement is to download the firmware for USB install from the OPPO Support page for the 103D and re-install the firmware -- all parts of it. Be sure to do the Reset Factory Defaults afterwards. On the first power up after the install, a Recommended Reset will be offered. That's all you need.

Production Notes Paper recycling is reprocessing waste paper fibers back into a usable paper product. Soy ink is a helpful component in paper recycling. It helps in this process because the soy ink can be removed more easily than regular ink can be taken out of paper during the de-inking process of recycling. This allows the recycled paper to have less damage to its paper fibers and have a brighter appearance. The waste that is left from the soy ink during the de-inking process is not hazardous and it can be treated easily through the development on modern processes. MOVING AVERAGE FORMULAS & STRATEGY GUIDE In an online seminar conducted for the Chicago Board of Trade, I shared how to apply Moving Averages to help traders determine buy and sell decisions and how to apply them in order to build a systematic trading method. In addition, I gave insights on how to effectively apply filters for buy and sell signals using popular indicators such as Stochastics and MACD. So goes the adage that there is no holy grail for any one single trading indicator or style. I believe traders should use multiple indicators to help decipher trading signals for various market conditions. I believe a successful trader needs to be aware of the fact that market conditions change, as does the markets state of volatility. Mostly this happens due to peoples perception on a product’s given value or anticipated value in any given time. I believe that combining Moving Averages with indicators such as Stochastics and MACD during certain market conditions can be vital to your success in discovering trend and consolidation phases and for determining various signals such as divergences or convergences. They both can be used for pinpointing reversals. The one fact is that in trending markets MACD can be your friend in helping you to stay in a trade longer based on the fact that this indicator is built on moving average values. In this booklet I would like to review and cover:... Objectives There are two principal objectives for this paper. The first, is to introduce a complete set of Fibonacci levels / values that the serious trader should be using (most traders are only using portions of the reality of Fibonacci in their trading). Secondly, to provide an overview of the various ways Fibonacci reality can be brought to the chartist or technical trader, as again, most traders are under-performing when it comes to the potentiality of Fibonacci-based, technical analysis in their trading. In the end, this should be the one-stop-shop (all things Fibonacci) for the intermediate to advanced trader in regards to Fibonacci in their trading. Please note that I am not going to provide the personal history of Leonardo Pisa Fibonacci (though I find it very interesting and would encourage every trader to investigate such history on their own). I am also not going to discuss seashells, flowers, or bunny counts to illustrate the origin and pervasiveness of Fibonacci in our world. There are other complete and readily found sources for such information. I personally believe the following site will contain more information than one can digest on the topic of Fibonacci … http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibBio.html College Scholarship Enrollment Form Please submit this completed form to enroll or to report your 2013 sales.

Michigan Competitive Scholarship Fact Sheet Academic Year 2013-14 Description The Michigan Competitive Scholarship program is available to undergraduate students pursuing their first degree at an approved Michigan postsecondary institution. Students must demonstrate both financial need and merit and eligible applicants must achieve a qualifying ACT score prior to entering college. Application Applicants must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students whose FAFSA is received by March 1 will receive priority consideration. Students are encouraged to file their FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.gov. Paper forms are available from the Federal Student Aid Information Center by calling 1-800-4FED-AID or a printable version can be accessed on the www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov Web site. The FAFSA allows students to list multiple colleges when filing. Because Student Scholarships and Grants (SSG) does not know which college the student will select, the award is based on the first college listed. Students must file a renewal FAFSA every year to determine possible continued program eligibility. The student is responsible for notifying SSG of a change of address or college choice. Program Limits Awards are restricted to tuition and mandatory fees. Awards may pay a maximum of $630 per academic year at a Michigan public college or university or $1,524 per academic year at a Michigan independent college or university1. Program eligibility ends when a student has received a baccalaureate degree, after completing the equivalent of ten (10) semesters or 15 terms, or when a student has been out of high school over ten years, whichever occurs first. Future awards are subject to available and approved funding. Through our desire works increasingly achieve inner freedom and creativity. To perform them usually use canvas, although some are painted on to paper or wood, all having a protective layer of varnish.

Architects Ben Matsuno and Kumi Aizawa have a dream in which homes are not just for sleeping and serve as more than just private spaces for residents only. But the husband and wife team doesn't intend to sit back and wait for society to change. By forming Life & Shelter Co., they're putting their architectural vision into action. The first result is the "y3" house, built in 1998. Located in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, the house looks like a warehouse, with its reinforced-concrete walls and steel-frame windows. Why y3? The residents are the Yoshida family -- mother and two sons -- all economically independent but with a common belief: that a home should be like a strong shelter that each member of the family can use in any way they like. With the family's desires in mind, Matsuno designed a house with a difference. Besides the usual rooms, the house also has a spacious 50-sq.-meter room on the second floor that can be used for a party, gallery . . . or for anything else they might want to do. "Nowadays, living in the city tends to deprive people of having conversation with neighbors," said Matsuno, 32. "People, especially children, are losing the ability to communicate with others. A house more open to the outside world may keep that from happening." Obviously, a house with a spare 50-sq.-meter room is not going to fall within everyone's budget, but for Matsuno and Aizawa, 31, it represents only the end point of their lifestyle philosophy. You needn't be rich to live in harmony with others and to learn how to communicate: it's an attitude thing. "If people are acquainted with architecture at an early age, it will be easier for them to be more flexible and free, and to have original ideas when the time comes to have their own houses," Matsuno said.
Fall Projects, work weekend and weather. It’s been a bit cold the past couple weeks and we’ve been seeing snowshowers off and on (nothing too exciting). The sun is out today, and tomorrow the forecast is for mostly sunny and a high of 50F. Exciting news for the guests arriving for the work weekend!! Many have opted to add the additional night (Thurs or Sunday night) and make it a 3 day weekend. Half the groups arrived yesterday and are out hiking or exploring the lake by boat. Here’s a picture of the recent bathroom remodel in A1. Bob did a great job – it’s beautiful.
Touring Hokkaido Day Eight: Teshio to Tomamae It was a pretty straight-forward day riding along the coast today. The weather got better again but as we headed south, the coastal road also got a bit busier with traffic. Kazuko is getting better at sitting on my wheel most of the way up the climbs and then sprinting past me just before the top to grab all the Queen of the Mountain points. Lunch was sashimi with surprise squid. The sashimi came out with a nice-looking bit of squid until I realised that the squid hadn’t actually been dismembered. All they done was slash it up a bit and then cook it in its own sauce. Removing the spine didn’t trouble me too much and nor did eating its insides. I have no argument with offal.In fact, I like a bit of tripe and have fond memories of having brain sausage for breakfast one morning in Germany (lovely with a bit of sweet mustard). But I generally have to draw the line at eating something’s head. So while I was enjoying my sashimi salmon, scallops and prawns, the squid head was lurking there in the background. Quite literally staring at me. In the end I had no choice and popped it in my mouth. The squid was nice and soft but there was something in there that was softer. best not to think what that might be. The beak was crunchy but not as hard as you might think. More like that brown bit between the peanut and its shell. The eye was quite hard, though. I had to spit that out. Then, after lunch, I had to eat some cake from my bag to take the taste out of my mouth. Actually, the taste was quite nice. There’s just something a little off-putting about eating something’s head, isn’t there? Posted on July 27, 2012, in Uncategorized. Bookmark the permalink. 11 Comments. - I was fine until you started talking about its ‘beak’. Don’t like that word. Fills me with horror. Not like a bird’s beak now is it? No, it’s altogether far nastier than that. - I think Kazuko is still playing tricks on you like you’re a tourist. Perhaps that head isn’t meant to be eaten. If she wrote a blog, I wonder if there would be a description about the idiot who tried to eat the whole squid.

Just as we warned two months ago when Warner won the battle to buy EMI and Virgin Classics, a century of recording tradition is about to be wiped from the record. Warner has no history in classics before [[phy_address]] of success, never rising above two percent of global market share and not signing major talent for several years. It now intends to bury the two famous labels in ‘a new brand’ that will also house Warner’s stuttering efforts, while aggressively saving costs on all fronts at a rate of $70 million a year. Here are extracts from an internal memo by Warner CEO Steve Cooper, obtained by Music Week: Our acquisition of the renowned labels, EMI Classics and Virgin Classics, will open up huge scope for us to reinvigorate our approach to classical music, starting with the development of a new brand for our activities in this genre. We intend to be ambitious and innovative custodians of this revered catalogue and will strive to create the first-choice home for contemporary classical talent. * We are moving to make decisions as soon as we can following the transaction’s closing in order to provide employees with the greatest certainty and to retain the strongest team possible from the wealth of talent that exists within both companies. UPDATE: Corporate insiders tell us that Warner had no choice. Universal’s pop teams made sure to retain the EMI-Virgin brands after the Parlophone disposal. Indeed the Virgin pop label team now operates as a fully-fledged label within UMG called ‘Virgin-EMI’. Warner has no rights to those names and must invent a new brand. Ex-Virgin, we guess, won’t do.

John Parker Wilson is not the only reason that Alabama has lost football games this year. Practice is the place where talent is evaluated and decisions must be made as to who starts in games. Wilson won out over a group of SEVEN freshmen... with seventeen more games of college experience than all of his competition combined. The truth is that the cupboards have been left bare in Tuscaloosa. Nick Saban has a lot of work ahead of him to round out the Crimson Tide, because the recruiting job done by Mike Shula in his four years proved to be .500 talent -- as is referenced by Shula's 26-23 (.531) record there in his three seasons and change. Saban is a master recruiter, as evidenced by his work at both Michigan State and LSU, and it will take time. But the best that Nick had at his disposal this season was the seasoned Wilson. Trust a man from Eugene: it is hard watching true freshmen getting killed on the field with even less pocket presence than the veteran who was dismissed as recently as the preseason... the Tide can point to many reasons they are headed to the Independence Bowl instead of a better bowl, and Wilson is only one of them. Would Ezell or McElroy or Fanuzzi do better? vikingstide said 12/05, 09:59 PM Mcelroy is a fresman true indeed, but what I saw in his debute made me question why not at all or nothing times in the season didnt he get a snap. I beleive that for a freshman in the sec you have to be display an unkandid ability early in your high school days to even get mentioned to start in this day and time. So with that said I beleive that Wilson does have ability, He has game experience, and good passing yards, But hes sometimey. How do you build a coaching system around a qb when you arent sure what game hes going to perform in. Winning takes chances and sometimes making others mad to do so. We all wont to win, unfortunately we all are not going to. If you ever get the chance to go for it no matter what anyone said then you will never know how it could have been. Oklahoma has a freshman qb that shined this year because he had someone who beleived in taking chances, and also beleives in us young people and the true abilitys that may get unnoticed throughout our lives. coming from someone who knows, alabama will lose alot of there fans next year if wilson starts. Thats a sad thing to say but its true ask someone that ruits for the tide and see what they say. Bigalke said 12/05, 11:28 PM Looking beyond mere fandom, the reality in the SEC as a neutral observer sees it is that, as the self-proclaimed "toughest conference in the nation", it is necessary for the field general to be experienced. Quarterbacks are weaned into their positons until they achieve stardom. Wilson has been slowly coaxed into his position. Look at other quarterbacks around the SEC... most are experienced quarterbacks. For two-quarterback systems at schools such as LSU this year or Florida last national-championship season, the younger, more mobile quarterback seems to be being slowly eased into prominence. Tim Tebow was an integral, though limited, contributor to an offense for the Gators which was essentially a transition offense under the stewardship of Chris Leak. This year, the Tigers get their shot at the Buckeyes for all the marbles. Matt Flynn has been holding down the fort as Ryan Perriloux gains experience; if Saban has done anything wrong here, it was in not getting Wilson more involved in the development of the next great Tide QB. vikingstide said 12/06, 11:[[phy_address]] of all Sports would not be anything without the fans. So I need to give a shot out to all the great fans in the world of NCAA football, which is the best sport on earth. You cant compare wilson to tebow-flynn simply because they have had ability when they steped into the college football ring. Did you know that Tebow was homeschooled and still got to play high school football? He also lit up the scoreboard in high school, and the school he played were champions in which he played in an almost college atmosphere before entering the NCAA. Wilson isnt a winner and this season prolonged look into the uter disappointment in seeing a qb get embarresed on the field of play reaches way beyond a freshman sophmore,junior or senior. I dont think it really matters how old you are when the will to win and doing what it takes isnt taught by a coach or coaches. But it is a coaches responsibility who stays in the game. Final note remember 1992 Jay barker wasnt the best most athletic qb in the game but one thing that he did have was a will and a want(god),and he was a consistent qb Bigalke said 12/06, 11:19 AM It is indeed amusing that the coach and the quarterback who were rolling along in Tuscaloosa when November started -- remember that 6-[[phy_address]] the defeat of then-#21 Tennessee, the anticipation of facing LSU? -- are now so much maligned by the fans who consistently demand more than mediocrity. Against LSU, Wilson outplayed Flynn for many stretches, ending with two fewer interceptions and an equal three touchdowns... it was the Tide defense that failed to stem the tide of the Tiger offense. After Saban lost to his old club, it was HE that let the team go into a tailspin. John Parker Wilson continued to plug through the season, doing his job as best as he can. (This almost sounds like the time for Mike Leach to step in... "I'm A MAN!") It seems shortsighted to simply say plugging a less-experienced QB into the offense would have made all the difference. Wilson has been sacked 24 times this season... would a freshman QB have read defenses any better to avoid the rush? Protection issues are to blame for Wilson's lack of success as much as his own talent level. Colorado will prove the final test, and Saban will most likely do the wise thing and start his seasoned quarterback. Comment Remember to keep your posts clean.

Parenting and Geometry-given laws My dad was a farmer, so was his dad–my grandfather, who long before he turned grand was a teen. By virtue of being people who worked with land, we had axes and many such heavy farm-paraphernalia at our home. One afternoon–more like mid-morning, upon returning from the early morning rounds to the farm, my granpa’s dad saw a sizable pile of wooden pieces scattered all over the earthen floor. With some trepidation my great-grandma acknowledged that the woodsmith did indeed deliver a majestic teakwood cot, and it so happened that the ironsmith also delivered a heavy metal ax, and that their teenage kid chopped the new piece of furniture into quite a number of irregular-sized pieces of wood, which delighted my great-grandpa: the sight of material evidence of his son’s searching examination of the reach of tools. Breaking things–without getting all melodramatic about how expensive, etc. it was–be it with a sharp ax in actuality or with clear thought while lying in bed in foetal configuration–is like opening a book–reducing reality into comprehensible sciences. (I hope science gets to put it all back together one 3 AM.) I axed a line — into a line of length l, a point of length 0 on its left-end, and another point also of length 0 on its right-end. One of the good things about looking is that it brings about changes in me but not in the line-segment I’m looking at. (It would be, I’m afraid, a scary world–things turning beautiful the moment we look at them–to live in.) Just because I think of the end-points of a line-segment as lines (of length zero), the original line-segment, though it is now clearly made-up of three line-segments of lengths 0, l, and 0 in my thought, is not going to change its length–not even an iota from its original length l i.e. 0 + l + 0 = l When I think of adding, I can think of adding the left-end point to the line-segment first, and the resultant line-segment to the right-end point (0 + l) + 0 or 0 + (l + 0) It’s the same ‘l’ either way (0 + l) + 0 = 0 + (l + 0) Kindled by the associative law we saw in a simple line-segment, fueled by boredom, our curiosity ventures out–to look–what shall we look–looking at some laid-back rectangle. Taking a knife, I imagine slicing the said rectangle into two pieces. The original rectangle had area; so do the two pieces, the sum of whose areas (a x b) + (a x c) equals that of the rectangle I’m looking at a x (b + c) Summing up, if only our parents didn’t ground us for pulling apart those pricey Christmas gifts, I surmise we would recognize the distributive law (Conceptual Mathematics, page 275) a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c) in a rectangle of length ‘a’ and height ‘b + c’. I hope people don’t press those buttons that summon the nurse-on-duty to their beds if I mess around with addition and multiplication, switching around x, + a + (b x c) = (a + b) x (a + c) Taking a = 1, b = 1, and c = 1, I end up with 2 = 4, which I have to admit, is utter nonsense if not patent nuisance. If you, treading lightly, look at the distributive law A x (B + C) = (A x B) + (A x C) and see a sheet of paper reluctantly coming out of the printer, what, then, is wrong with looking at A + (B x C) = (A + B) x (A + C) and asking for a corresponding image–may not be a plane surface flashing area, may be one of those impossible visions (of climbing Penrose staircase). Before I get completely lost in illusions, let me go study the standard map (Conceptual Mathematics, pp. 276-9).

Pulmonary embolism (PE) presents with a wide range of clinical severity and course. Management decisions (level of care, length of observation, and aggressive therapies such as thrombolysis) are generally based on a patient’s risk of a poor outcome. Guidelines recommend risk stratifying patients based on hemodynamic stability, presence of right ventricular dysfunction, and biomarkers. Overall clot burden on CT scan has not proven useful for predicting outcomes, even though it seems like it should. In a recent study in Chest, Maria Cristina Vedovati et al come to the conclusion that central PEs are higher risk than distal ones, even if the overall clot burden doesn’t matter. What They Did In a prospective, multicenter study out of Europe, 579 patients with acute symptomatic PE were evaluated for the ability of the anatomic localization and overall burden of emboli on multidetector CT angiography to predict 30 day all-cause mortality or clinical deterioration (shock, rescue thrombolysis, intubation, pressors, or CPR). Emboli were categorized as central (saddle or at least 1 main pulmonary artery), lobar (at least one lobar artery), or distal (segmental or subsegmental). Overall embolic burden was estimated by the obstructive index (OI). Models were controlled for age, gender, cancer diagnosis, troponin, and right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography. What They Found - Emboli were central in 60%, lobar in 25%, and distal in 15%, saddle in 13.5%, subsegmental in 4.8%, and bilateral in 77% - Overall, 5.9% died and 4.5% had clinical deterioration (10.4% combined) - Central PE was significantly associated with dyspnea, concomitant DVT, obesity (trend), elevated troponin, and right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography - In the overall cohort, 11.2%, 11.1%, and 5.7% of patients with central, lobar, and distal emboli died or deteriorated, but this trend did not reach statistical significance - In hemodynamically stable patients, central PE was an independent predictor (HR 8.3, 1.0 to 67) of death or deterioration; lobar PE was nearly so (HR 7.57, 0.95 to 60); and distal PE was associated with lower risk (HR 0.12, 0.01 to 0.97); 8.4%, 7.8%, and 2.6% died or had clinical deterioration, respectively - Saddle PE considered alone was not an independent predictor - The overall burden of PE (by the OI) was not associated with worse outcome - Age > 75, right ventricular dysfunction, and hypotension were significant predictors What It Means Hemodynamically unstable patients are at high risk for poor outcomes, irrespective of the location and amount of clot they have. Most of these patients will go to the ICU, and many will be candidates for thrombolysis. In hemodynamically stable patients, PEs in the main pulmonary arteries seem to confer a higher risk of dying or deteriorating, so these patients might warrant higher levels of care and longer observation periods compared to lower risk segmental and subsegmental PEs. I am not, however, reassured from these data that lobar PEs are that much lower risk than central PEs because hazard ratios were similar and the lack of statistical significance for the lobar group might have be due to power issues (i.e., there were half as many patients in the lobar group). This study supports the incorporation of age and echocardiographic evidence of right ventricular dysfunction in risk stratification for PE. It’s unfortunate that the authors did not add BNP to their model, being another readily available marker of right ventricular dysfunction clearly associated with poor outcomes in PE. Troponin is also a well-validated prognostic marker in PE, but appears not to have been an independent predictor in their model. Finally, the authors mention that the presence of right ventricular dilation measured on CT is also prognostic, and that adding it to clot localization for risk stratification would be very appealing in order to both diagnose and prognosticate PE on a single CT scan. I agree, so why didn’t they look at the combined predictive value of both CT clot localization and right ventricular dimensions in this study? It would seem they had the data.

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! (The New Colossus, 10-14) Born July 22, 1849, in New York city to Moses and Esther Nathan Lazarus, assimilated, Sephardic Jews, Emma Lazarus grew up in New York city and Newport, Rhode Island. In 1866 she published her first book, Poems and Translations, after which Emerson acted as her informal mentor. Admetus and Other Poems followed in 1871 and Alide: an Episode of Goethe's Life, a novel, in 1874. Lazarus deeply felt the persecution of the Jews in Russia in the 1880s. That, and her translation of Heinrich Heine, the German Jew, in 1881 and her own Songs of a Semite: the Dance to Death and Other Poems in 1882, turned her away from the Christian environment of her immediate family and into her Jewish roots. She called for the re-creation of a Jewish homeland that year. She went overseas, visiting European writers and cities, first in 1883 and then from May 1885 to September 1887, and creating the Society for the Improvement and Colonization of East European Jews. She also did charitable work at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. In 1883, she contributed a sonnet, "The New Colossus," for the Art Loan Fund Exhibition in Aid of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund for the Statue of Liberty. The Statue about which she wrote opened in 1886, although it was only in 1903 that a bronze plaque with her poem was affixed to the base of the monument. Her posthumous entry in The Dictionary of American Biography does not mention that poem. Her death came, at the age of 38 years, on Nov. 10, 1887, in New York city. She is buried in Cypress Hill Cemetery.
It's harder to find the brass waste and overflow drains. They had slip joints that could leak later on. Not that you would be apt to notice that in a slab like yours. 1.5" is standard tub drain sizing. The fitting you had for the brass trap would have been a "trap adapter". They carry those in hardware stores. If you use the glue up tub drain, then it's not used. Having a 2" drain is fine. The plumbers like using a solvent weld p-trap, not one with a swivel. It's just one more location to leak.
IDG News Service - Embattled Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson has left the company, Yahoo announced Sunday, after more than a week of controversy over questions about embellishments to his resume. Ross Levinsohn, who is the company's head of global media, will serve as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement. Fred Amoroso has been named chairman of the board, Yahoo also announced. Those changes are effective immediately. Thompson was hired in early January and was the third CEO to be tapped in just a little over three years, and this latest incident is sure to continue the ongoing turmoil that Yahoo, a pioneer in the Web portal space, has endured. Besides the executive shuffling, the company also struck a deal to end a proxy fight by activist shareholder Daniel Loeb, who leads the Third Point investment fund, which owns about 5.8 percent of Yahoo. Loeb was the one who brought the resume embellishment to light and notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of it, plunging the company into its latest controversy. Loeb and two of four other people that he had pushed the board to name as directors will be seated on the board. The other two are Michael J. Wolf and Harry Wilson. Former NBC chief Jeff Zucker, who was the fourth candidate proposed by Loeb, has been withdrawn as a board nominee. Five current members of the board who were to leave their positions at the company's upcoming annual meeting will resign their posts as of Wednesday, the company said. Besides non-executive Chairman Roy Bostock, whom Amoroso replaces, they are Patti Hart, VJ Joshi, Arthur Kern and Gary Wilson. "The Board is pleased to announce these changes and the settlement with Third Point, and is confident that they will serve the best interests of our shareholders and further accelerate the substantial advances the Company has made operationally and organizationally since last August," Yahoo said in a statement announcing the changes. Thompson's departure comes "after a poorly handled controversy," Jeff Kagan, an independent technology analyst said in an email Sunday. "Yahoo has been struggling over recent years and this new incident only makes matters worse for the company." He predicted that "this CEO mess is going to leave Yahoo all tied up for at least several more quarters." Thompson, who was previously an executive with eBay, was hired by Yahoo to try to get the struggling Internet company back on track after years of leadership changes in the midst of unsteady financial performance and competitive pressure from Google and more recently from Facebook. But then Loeb pushed his own slate of candidates -- himself included -- for the board of directors and as part of that, revealed that Thompson did not have a college degree in accounting and computer science, contrary to what was on his resume and information in the company's financial filings. - IT Certification Study Tips - Register for this Computerworld Insider Study Tip guide and gain access to hundreds of premium content articles, cheat sheets, product reviews and more. - Data on the Move = Business on the Move; How Strategic Secure Managed File Transfer Adds Value and Drives Business This whitepaper describes the formal and informal file-sharing methods business employees use to perform their daily functions and explains that, from sending small... - Path Selection Infographic Path Selection Infographic - Hyperconvergence Infographic A wide range of observers agree that data centers are now entering an era of "hyperconvergence" that will raise network traffic levels faster... - Preparing Your Infrastructure for the Hyperconvergence Era From cloud computing and virtualization to mobility and unified communications, an array of innovative technologies is transforming today's data centers. - Supercharge Your Web and Mobile App Development with High-Productivity Hybrid Cloud Webinar: Hear from industry experts about the amazing power at the intersection of next-generation web and mobile application development and cloud platforms. - Cloud Knowledge Vault Learn how your organization can benefit from the scalability, flexibility, and performance that the cloud offers through the short videos and other resources...

The tower swayed and fell to the ground, crushing and killing him. His widow sued the company that owned the derrick and reached a confidential settlement. Barrera is one of at least 11 oilfield employees killed while working for drilling companies in the Eagle Ford Shale counties in South Texas since 2009. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a federal agency that regulates workplace safety, used the Freedom of Information Act, which allows anyone to request previously unpublished federal agency records, to discover that there were safety violations at every one of these sites, meaning those deaths may have been preventable. These 11 deaths represent one-third of the fatalities investigated by OSHA in the Texas oil and gas industry since 2009. Some general regulations OSHA requires oil and gas drilling and extraction companies to follow include: Jobs in the oil and gas industry come with hefty paychecks.

Mike, I’m an outdoorsman, been one all my life. I don’t profess to know a darn thing about QDMAs that Mr. Leatherman expounded about on your page. I do know that comparing Garrett County’s way of managing 76,000 acres of public land is an entirely different undertaking than the King Ranch Private Enterprise of 825,000 acres (in Texas). Both need monies to run effectively, truckloads to make a management system work as King Ranch does. If I’m correct Garrett County public lands are managed through a portion of monies obtained by fees for Maryland licenses and permits? Other than opening yellow gates and plowing to public hunting areas, I don’t know what else can/or does get funded. What Mr. Leatherman fails to tell you is how King Ranch’s healthy deer population got to its current state, it certainly wasn’t by antler rule alone. The way I read it, is that the owners recognized an “economic value” in the King Ranch wildlife habitat. They imposed a closed hunting season from 1925 to 1928 to rebuild the deer herd (never happening on Md. public grounds), implemented a predator control program in 1925 that included hiring a full time trapper. Today they lease a half a million acres to corporate businesses (average lease 15,000 acres.) A condition of those leases is to have a wildlife biologist on staff or retainer. Not knowing the other conditions of theses leases, it’s fair to say that they have to at least sustain the original habitat manager’s practices of upkeep of food plots, water/windmills, brush management, fence mending, etc. I’m sure the 20-plus, grant-funded university/college research projects allowed on the property helped support the deer management also. The thousands of dollars per gun and $5 to $25,000 limited “trophy hunts” (determined by Boone & Crockett point scoring) surely helps too. If Mr. Leatherman and King Ranch were true stewards of our natural resources and wildlife, they wouldn’t be profiting off of them. The next time his blood pressure gets up, he or the guide in one of those elevated blinds perched over a feeder should turn the a/c knob to cooler, so that the hunter (?) who paid $1,[[phy_address]] them decide which undesirable deer to “cull” doesn’t get sweat in his eyes and gets fined for shooting the wrong deer. I’ll stick to packing a day’s worth, cutting a fresh track, stalking, and culling that gnarly 3-point. Call me old-fashioned or outdated, but I’m a subsistence hunter first. King Ranch “sporthunting” is for deep pockets who could care less how that 200-inch class got there. I could go on and on, and Mr. Leatherman might classify it as uneducated ramblings. I just think shoveling longhorn dung in Garrett County isn’t productive. Keep up the informative and humorous articles. Kevin R.

WASHINGTON — Without waiting for Congress, President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced a sweeping $500 million program to curb gun violence, setting up a fight over universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting. Obama also used his presidential powers to issue 23 orders that don’t require congressional approval. The largely incremental executive steps include requiring federal agencies to make more data available for background checks, appointing a fulltime director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and directing the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence. But the president, speaking at the White House, acknowledged the most effective actions must be taken by lawmakers. “To make a real and lasting difference, Congress must act,” Obama said. “And Congress must act soon.” Obama was flanked by children who wrote him letters about gun violence in the weeks following the Newtown shooting. Families of the 20 children killed in the massacre, as well as survivors, were also in the audience along with law enforcement officers and members of Congress. “This is our first task as a society, keeping our children safe,” Obama said. “This is how we will be judged.” The president based his proposals on recommendations from an administration-wide task force led by Vice President Joe Biden.

Benjy Levit has been serving some of the most creative modern American cuisine in the city since 1985. The Village location of Benjy's is remarkably small, all the more so because of the open kitchen and bar that anchor one end of the restaurant, but that's a part of its charm. The kitchen never seems to fail, and dishes rotate on a seasonal basis. The house-cured corned beef sandwich is not to be missed, and neither are any of the thin-crust pizzas from the wood-burning oven. Best entrée? The crunchy chicken - it's unbelievably good comfort food.
If the UFC is looking for volunteers, Brazilian striker Fabio Maldonado is standing with his hand in the air. The 32-year-old Maldonado said he's ready and willing to face countryman Glover Teixieira in the co-main event of next month's UFC 153 event - a bout that was supposed to feature Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Maldonado and his manager, Alex Davis, told MMAjunkie.com they're more than willing to step into the fight on four weeks' notice.

Now those of us who celebrate Thanksgiving often only see it at its face value – a great excuse to eat plenty of food and to appreciate everything that we have. But there is much more to this crazy holiday and the stories and history behind it are definitely worth remembering. Here are some interesting facts about this traditional holiday that you might not know. The First Thanksgiving was only eaten with Spoons and Knives Forks are something that most people take for granted but imagine eating your turkey with a spoon instead of a fork this year. The reason for the fork being absent was because it was not brought by the pilgrims in 1620. It was introduced ten years later by Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts but it was not brought into popular use until the 18th century. Thanksgiving is not only celebrated in the United States For those of you who don’t know, the Canadians also celebrate their own form of Thanksgiving. They however celebrate it on the second Monday of October. Throughout their history the Canadians have been known to celebrate days of thanks but it was after the American Revolution, when Americans who were still loyal to Britain moved to Canada. They brought their traditions of Thanksgiving with them and the Canadians began celebrating Thanksgiving as an end to the Harvest. And they Canadians actually refer to our Thanksgiving as “Yanksgiving” in order to differentiate it from their own Thanksgiving. It is a Presidential Tradition to pardon one turkey each year President Truman started this tradition in 1947. He handpicked a turkey and then sent it off to live the rest of its days at Frying Pan Park in Herndon, Virginia. It has become tradition that two turkeys be pardoned (in case the first turkey become unavailable). The people of the United States actually get to vote on the name of the turkey. This year President Obama pardoned a turkey named Courage and had it sent to Disneyland. Benjamin Franklin wanted the Turkey to be the national bird of the United States Luckily for those of us who prefer the Eagle, Thomas Jefferson was opposed to this idea and fought Benjamin Franklin on it. It has been rumored that Benjamin Franklin named the male Turkey “Tom” in retaliation. Franklin’s reasoning was that the turkey has a much greater significance to the American people (being the main food source for the Pilgrims) and he claimed that the Eagle had “bad moral character.” The best way to check if a Cranberry is ripe is to bounce it If you want to know if a cranberry is ripe then all you need to do it throw it at the ground and measure how high it bounces. As long as it bounces higher than four inches it is ready to be picked. Who knew that is what it takes to make the perfect cranberry sauce for your Thanksgiving. The cranberry is actually one of only three fruits that are native to North America and it is served at 94% of Thanksgiving dinners. Thanksgiving has not always been the fourth Thursday of November It was Abraham Lincoln that slated Thanksgiving as the fourth Thanksgiving of November. In 1939 President Franklin Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving up a week in the hope that it would move up the Christmas shopping season and be fruitful to retailers. The move was proven to be very unpopular and it was changed back two years later. Thanksgiving brought about the creation of T.V. Dinners Part of the reason that Swanson started creating T.V. Dinners in 1953 was because they needed to find something to do with 260 tons of frozen turkeys that were left over from Thanksgiving. Talk about a lot of Turkey dinners! Think you have it rough imagine feeding 140 people for 3 days! The first thanksgiving was comprised of the surviving 50 Pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag Indians. This was definitely an endeavor because there were only 5 surviving women. Just imagine the amount of food that would involve and cooking trying to keep that many men well-fed for three straight days. Turkeys in Space Turkeys as food have become such an important staple and comfort food of Americans that Turkey has even been served in space. The first meal in space was a Turkey dinner and Thanksgiving has been celebrated on a number of space shuttles including the Columbia and the Mir. Americans eat the weight of Singapore in Turkey every Thanksgiving According to a study done by the National Turkey Association Americans ate 690 million pounds of turkey during Thanksgiving 2007. That is equal to the weight of the entire population of Singapore. If that isn’t enough to make you feel stuffed then nothing will. Happy Thanksgiving! Just remember that despite its crazy history and some of it’s strange traditions, Thanksgiving is all about family and being thankful. After all when the pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving they were just happy to be alive (over half of them died before the first Thanksgiving) and most of us have much more than that to be thankful for this year.

With his debut feature, "Max," director Menno Meyjes takes us back to the Germany of 1918, in the immediate aftermath of World War I. Demobilized veterans, some horribly wounded, wander the frosty streets, jobless and dispirited. Poverty is endemic, resentment roils, especially after the Treaty of Versailles imposes crippling, humiliating reparations on the defeated nation. Amid this turmoil, a small figure wanders the streets in a threadbare overcoat, a portfolio tucked under his arm: It's Adolf Hitler (Noah Taylor), just back from the war, and at this point in his life, literally a starving artist. On the other side of town is Max Rothman (John Cusack), an art dealer running a gallery in an abandoned factory, selling radical Futurist works. Unlike Hitler, Max came back to a loving wife, and a wealthy and supportive family, but like Hitler, he fought in the trenches at Ypres, where he lost an arm in battle. From this shared experience, a tentative, tense friendship is formed between these two very different men. Hitler hates modern art ("The next time I have diarrhea, I'll shit on a canvas and bring it over to you"), he sneers at Max who's championing the expressive, wild works of Grosz, Klee and Kandinsky. Max is unabashedly decadent, forgetting the war through wine and women, while Hitler chooses not to forget, his rage egged on by rightwing army officers fomenting reactionary rebellion. Max believes the war was pointless and horrific; Hitler sees it as glorious, necessary. And then there's the real kicker: Max is Jewish. This may seem a bit too "high concept," but Meyjes makes it work. Starting with the historical fact that the young Hitler was indeed a failed artist (his conservative, bourgeois tastes ran against the grain of Dadaism, Futurism and other bold new leaps), Meyjes, who also wrote the script, goes on to imagine the milieu and Hitler's place in it. The film asks, why did Hitler give up on art? What drove him into politics? Or were these two careers, in fact, more closely related than one might suspect? The premise "Max" works with is a radical one, and the contrast drawn with Max, the idea that Hitler may have been friends with a Jew, may seem too much to some. But the film's logic is unassailable: The Hitler of 1918 was looking for a break. If a Jewish art gallery owner would give it to him, he'd swallow his bile and work with it. If it was the army-backed rabble-rousing gig that paid off, then he'd blow that way instead. His anti-Semitism is no less frightening for being portrayed as opportunism as much as deeply held belief -- any good demagogue goes with the material that works. More than any other recent film, "Max" could truly be called "Shakespearean," in the sense that it takes an icon of history -- a la "Julius Caesar" or "Richard III" -- and applies a bit of creative license, in order to produce a drama that will uncover some truths of human nature. In "Max," it's the response of men to a brutal war and crippling defeat, how they deal with their bitterness, their regrets, their inchoate frustration and sense of smallness, the self-negation that comes from having come so close to being just one more casualty on a list numbering in the millions. Fantastic performances by Cusack and Taylor ("Shine") make the film work and the relationship seem plausible. Cusack's Max has suave self-confidence and coolly cynical wit, but his breezy attitude -- whether it's charming the wealthy into buying disturbing new art, or smooth-talking his way between his wife, Nina (Molly Parker), and his mistress, Liselore (Leelee Sobieski) -- masks a deeper frustration and aimlessness. Gone with his right arm were his own dreams of painting. Taylor has an even harder task in portraying the ultimate symbol of ruthless, brutal tyranny -- at a moment in his life when he was utterly powerless. Taylor nails it just right, creating a pathetic, needy figure who is so abrasive and hectoring that he even alienates those who are trying to give him a break, like Max. Elmore Leonard put it best once when asked about the villains in his own novels: "They've got to be human before they turn criminal." Taylor does just this. He manages a very quiet murmur of gratitude when Max gives him a commission, much-needed money for food and shelter. "You saved my life, Rothman," he says, and we see that somewhere beneath this man's glower is a glimmer of something that could redeem him. The viewer hopes against all hope that the charismatic Max can take young Adolf down a different path. Such is the power of Meyjes' film that we allow ourselves to believe this illusion. Of course, Hitler eventually finds his true calling, working up mobs of embittered Germans into a vengeful, racist frenzy, and Max winding up a victim of his belief that one can retreat into art and forget about politics. As a study of historical flux -- the many possibilities that existed at a crucial moment in time -- "Max" is a fascinating story, but it's also one that, through its portrayal of politics as performance art, is intensely relevant to the here and now.
In this new version of flash, When I drew quick strokes with a curve they convert into a single line as seen below. I have tried a reset with having no other programs open and setting the priority higher. It's a cintiq13HD and I didnt have this problem with CS6. The things on the stage are meant to be circles. If you are using pencil tool, please set the mode to smooth or ink mode which is at the bottom of the toolbar.By default it is set to straighten mode.If the problem still exists please revert back with the exact repro steps.Thanks! I have the same problem with my wacom tablet. I even tried reinstalling the entire program but it didn't fix anything. I hope someone figures out how to fix this soon. Solved it (at least for me) It seems that I figured out one way to solve the issue. I switched my tablet to mouse mode and now I can draw without the line, but now I need to draw on mouse mode which is kinda bad on my tablet. I hope this issue gets fixed soon. Can you please provide us with the exact repro steps so that can we track it better .Also let us what is the: 1)Preference set for drawing 2)Tool used for drawing(brush,pencil etc) 3)If it is Pencil,what is the mode and if it is brush ,is pressure and tilt enabled 4)What are the setting of the tablet (ex:mapping etc) It would be great if you could give the details and repro steps aso that we will be able to reproduce at our end and fix the issue. -Sangeeta It just bugs up when your draw something, it started the second I drew my first line in the program. All my tools are at their default, 50 smoothing, this bug is present in all drawing tools; the brush, pencil, and even the lasso. The brush is affected in all modes, with pressure, no pressure, tilt, etc. The Pencil as well; in straight, smooth, ink, is bugged. Looking at the video we understand there is some issue which we are not able to reproduce.But can you please delete your preferences, relaunch your application and with brush tool set the smoothing value to a little high say 60+ and see if the issue still happens. In addition could you also check if the tablet drivers are properly installed.Meanwhile, we will try to reproduce the issue and tackle it. Any updates about what to do? I've had the same issue and have tried all that you've suggested. Nothing works. Which version and type of tablet are you using?? What is driver version?? what are the settings of the tablet and pen.??? Same issue here. All of my tools are on default, and I am using a Wacom Intuos 5 tablet and my driver is updated to the lastest driver that was released on march. My conclusion is that there is a problem with flash's connection with the wacom drivers. If you notice, you can try using your pen to long-click on the Flash's workspace, and a blank circle will appear, not such as he previous versions of Flash. Flash's driver recocnizer might be corrputed, for example, a coupl,e of comments above me complained about not having tlit and pressure working, even tho I got it working exellent except the annoying issue with the lining lag. We were able to reproduce the issue with pencil tool when set to smooth mode. We will try resolve the issue asap. Thank you for your patience. -Sangeeta I'm using a Wacom Intuos [[phy_address]] driver too. Using Flash CC on all default settings. However, my issue is with both the brush tool as well and not just the pencil tool. Adobe's support abandoned us, No hope is left for the CC users. This is really frustrating, I noticed this issue as soon as i installed Flash CC. I have now reverted to using CS[[phy_address]] shorcuts have never properly worked in that version! I am now stuck with two versions of this program that both hinder my productivity. NOTE: This issue is with the BRUSH tool, and pen tool for me. I don't see how they can repro the pen issue and it be fine for brush. Also, i disabled all pen/touch setting in windows to ensure it wasn't interferring but still had the same issue. cheers. C'mon why hasn't this been fixed yet, the only reason I bought CC was for flash. it feels worse because this is the only version of Flash that was worth upgrading to in 4 years. This one is legitimately faster and more stable. But of course the main tool I use is busted I'm having the same issue. Flash CC, Windows 7, Wacom Bamboo with the latest drivers (contacted Wacom and they told me to uninstall and reinstall drivers). This didn't fix the issue. Also, it took a few tries (going from pencil to paintbrush) for the options for pressure sensitive buttons to display. Sweet, a new update! after the many complains, adobe finally cared about us! The finally, which we all were waiting for, has finally fixed the....alright, maybe they will fix the bug next year. Yeah, How dissapointing got excited when I saw it.. This seems like a priority to fix above other things.. We've identified the cause of the issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime, you could use a workaround by disabling the "Flicks" and "Press and hold" gesture features in Windows. To do so, follow the stpes described below: Open Control Panel > Pen and Touch. 1. To disable the "Pen and hold" pen action: a. Under Pen Options, select the "Press and hold" action. b. Click on Settings. c. In the Press and Hold Settings dialog, ensure the "Enable press and hold for right-clicking" is unchecked. d. Click OK to dismiss the Press and Hold Settings dialog. 2. To disable "Flicks" a. Go to the Flicks panel on the Pen and Touch settings dialog. b. Ensure the "Use flicks to perform common actions quickly and easily" is unchecked. Please let us know if this workaround resolves the issue. Still the issue continues to appear Thanks for trying. I've observed that the Flicks setting in the "Pen and Touch" dialog sometimes unexpectedly re-enables itself. Could you double-check and ensure that Flicks is disabled. I have done it even before and it didnt work. I have the same problem. I understand the software gets tested before it'll be published, but this is just plain bad. The majority of flash animators use the brush tool for frame-by-frame animation so it is kinda big deal when the brush tool is'nt working properly. Please try to keep us updated about fixing this issue. I am using the brush tool with pressure on. Pressure on/off does not make a difference, it still lags for about 1 second. Workaround of 'uncheck ' enable press and hold for right button'' did not work. Also, what is important to know that the pencil does the same thing. I think it is related to the way flash responds to tablet pressure. Details: Windows 8 64-bit Asus N53-sv i7 Adobe Flash CC version 13.0.0.759 Adobe CS6 still installed, along with CC I am using a Wacom Bamboo CTH-470 Driver Version 5.3.0-3 This does not help. Would there be an update soon where the issue is resolved? The issue is holding me up from using Flash Waiting to start drawing again. We're still trying figure out a fix, and promise to keep you updated. In the meantime, you can help us by sharing your system details like OS version, Wacom device model, and Wacom device driver version. This information will help even if the suggested workaround works for you. OS: Windows 8 64bit Wacom intuos 5 medium Driver: Version 6.3.5-3 (march) Edit; I just updated to Version6.3.6-w3, still the same bug. I have the same issue. It's clear to me that the problem is not due to some lagging. Comparing Flash CS6 (where the same issue doesn't happen) with Flash CC, I realized that you have some distance you have to move from the initial point of contact of the Pen. While in this distance, nothing is drawn for some seconds and when you get away from this radius, it draws a straight line from the initial point to the point where you left this area. After that, all works normal. As to the suggestion that the problem is linked to some misconfiguration I disagree as it works perfectly in Flash CS6. If it was possible not to have this glitch in the previous version shouldn't be a problem to have it working in the newer version with the same configuration, right? OS: Windows 8 64-bits Wacom Bamboo Connect CTL-470 Driver: 5.3.2-1 Wacom Intuos 4, Driver 6.3.6-w3, Windows 7 @muratyazarcizer Thanks for sharing your solution. While this will fix the "lag", you will probably lose some data like pen pressure, tilt and eraser. what did you mean by losing pen pressure,tilt and erase?i tried the pen,pressure,tilt and eraser works fine.did i miss something? edit : ok.i get it.in photoshop everything seems fine but in flash the pressure and tilt dissapair. I tried your solution too. It works (mini hurray!) but pen pressure, tilt options go missing (not recognized) by Flash and the eraser end of the pen works like the brush. Unchecking Windows Ink works for me. But same issue of no pressure/tilt/eraser. Wacom Intuos 5 - 6.3.6-w3 driver (June) Windows 8 64bit Dual monitors Flash CC GRRRR! We're currently testing Flash CC as a possible upgrade for our 2D animation team currently using CS5.0, CS5.5 or CS6.0 (various versions) of Flash. We downloaded the trial of CC Flash onto a Lenovo laptop runing Windows 8 with a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. We experienced the same as all the above posters... 1) The pencil tool defaulting to annoying straight line mode. 2) Laggy performance with the pen and brush tool: When sketching, many of the artists strokes are lost. The 'workaround' of unticking the 'Windows Ink' function helps users of the pencil tool, but as stated before, all tablet pressure sensitivity is lost, so the brush tool just can't make nice thick and thin lines. Hardly a fix really. We've been using Flash for drawn animation work for years now, and I've come to not be very surprised when new versions come out and turn out to be buggy. Now this! The drawing and painting tools don't even work. I would currently rate this a really serious problem and some artists will certainly find the CC version of Flash unusable. I look forward to hearing of any update of this just as soon as possible. Your frustration is justified, but I assure you this is a high priority issue for us and are we're working with Wacom and Microsoft to figure out the best way to fix it. You will hear from us soon, hopefully with some good news. I seem to be having the exact same problem as the ones listed above but with my Wacom 12WX Cintiq. I know it was mentioned that the issue is currnelty being worked on but there hasn't been any new news in the last three days. Is it possible to get an update on how this problem is currently being solved? We understand it is very critical for you guys and hence we are trying to resolve it asap.Will let you know once the fix is available.We appreciate your patience.Thank you "asap"
