BRUSSELS (AP) — European finance ministers early Thursday failed to reach a deal that would force banks to build up higher capital cushions against financial shocks amid disagreements over the powers of national regulators. The 27-country European Union is in the process of writing an international agreement on capital defenses for banks into European law. The so-called Basel III deal was negotiated by the world's largest economies in the hope of avoiding a repeat of the financial meltdown brought on by the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers. The 2008 crisis demonstrated that many banks did not have enough of a capital cushion to absorb sudden losses on subprime mortgage loans and other risky activities. Danish Finance Minister Margrethe Vestager, whose country currently holds the EU presidency, called the new rules "one of the most important files taking the lessons from the financial crisis." Once enacted, Basel III would require lenders to increase their highest-quality capital — such as equity and cash reserves — gradually from 2 percent of the risky assets they hold to 7 percent by 2019. An additional 2.[[phy_address]] to be built up during good times. The new rules will apply to more than 8,300 banks in Europe, forcing them to compile billions of euros in extra capital by selling shares or assets or reining in bonuses and dividends. What is at issue in Europe now is that some states, led by the U.K., want to set even higher capital requirements for their own banks than the ones set out in Basel III. They argued that since there is no pan-European bank resolution fund — and it's therefore national taxpayers that have to foot the bill if something goes wrong — it's national governments that should get to decide what makes their banks save. In more than 15 hours of talks, Vestager hashed out a complex system of checks that would allow national regulators to set higher capital requirements for their own banks as long as they don't hurt growth in other EU states. Several smaller European states do not have a big domestic banking system, so they depend on subsidiaries and branches of foreign banks to provide loans to businesses and households. The EU's executive Commission is worried that if some states unilaterally set higher buffers for their domestic lenders, those banks would cut down on their foreign activities.

We in our company are done now several test systems where the best process model is Batch Model. Customers however does not want other reports than UUT report from each test socket. Simple skipping of batch report generation is not possible at the moment particularly now when plug-in structure has arrive for joy of us all. For me this wanted feature is late now because I manage to find out solution, with a great support of local NI team. Finally this feature of easy batch report disabling would serve future generations and today newbies. They will save hundres of hours when they don't have to use try&fail -method to skip those few meaningful steps but just make one selection in report options. We already have a collection of sequence files which contain a library of common functions that we perform for all tests which amount to hundreds and hundreds of sub-sequences. The sub-sequence from all the sequence perform a variety of functions which include utilities that are commonly reused in our tests. Rather than re-writing these commonly used sub-sequences again and again in the different sequence files we are trying to re-use the same sub-sequences from all the sequence files in one place. "Code Re-use". For the step types which also includes our own custom step types, when a post action property is invoked, there is no way we can use these commonly used sub-sequence from a different file. The work around solution is to call another "Call Sequence" step in the same sequence file which then calls the sub-sequence from another file. Seems kind of cumbersome and awkward. Don't know if NI has already looked at this or not. See attachment of the Post Action Property. Since our projects involve several developers working in tandem, we manage all project relevant data under SCM (Source Code Management). This way sharing and exchange of data between developers is much easier. To ensure that all developers can access and use the same TestStand Components – especially the language directory – the TestStand configuration directory is also under SCM control. During the development process if a developer checks out the project folder, for example to „C:\ProjectX“, then the language folder is available under „C:\ProjectX\TestStand\Components\Language“. In Teststand there is an option to point the configuration directory to a custom directory. To do this, go under the Station Options – Preferences – Configuration Directory, and change the default path to our custom checkout path. However, even changing this setting, the language files are still get loaded from the default configuration path. In other words, assigning new custom path (which is „C:\ProjectX\TestStand\Components\Language“) seems to have no effect and the older default location (which is „C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand“) keeps getting selected instead. This means, every developer has to copy the ProjectX TestStand folder into the default location manually a SCM update. Suggested solution: make the whole default location directory changeable, to point to a custom directory. Thus during development of different projects, it is much easier to switch between the projects and to have the possibility to check out the code from a SCM to only one directory (and continue working with them). The current placement creates confusion about what you’re actually closing out of when you click it. It makes me hesitate and wonder what I am about to close. If you click it when there are multiple files open, it just closes out of the tab on top. If you click it when there is only one file open, it closes out of the whole pane, including the Sequences and Variables windows. It would eliminate any ambiguity if the X for each file were on the tab for that file and if there were a separate X for the pane, like you typically see in tabbed programs. You could also just put an X next to the pin on each little window instead, like the X in the Step Settings pane and the Insertion Palette in the screenshot above. When opening a version of TestStand which is not the current version, an error dialog shows. It would be helpful if this dialog included a button to open the version selector and/or a button to open the active version. Since not every path on the hard drive can be in the drop down list, and some may be higher up in the tree from paths that are in the drop down list (and some may not be there at all) it would be great if we could specify relative paths and/or environment variables. For example: TestStand Application Data (for Windows 7) = "C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand". But, I want to install a file structure starting at "C:\ProgramData". Currently, my only options are to write a custom command to copy the files over after install to some other directory that's in the combo box. But this isn't great because things can be easily left behind on uninstall. With a relative path, I could specify the subdirectory of to be "..\.." and with Windows environment variable support, I could specify %ALLUSERSPROFILE%. Either would take me to "C:\ProgramData". Having tried both of these in TS2010sp1 installer builds, neither of these seem to be supported, and it would be awesome if they were in the future. Thanks! Hello, For the moment the runtime error handling can be managed by using ... It should be nice to add such a kind TRY CATCH block, in order to modify the error handling in a local section of a sequence. TRY Steps ... Steps ... CATCH case 35 // Error code = 35 end case default // All other error codes end End Doing so, could be a way to handle runtime errors, in an other way that the global configured way. Manu. In some cases it could be handy, if you were able to convert a container you've constructed in the variable pane into a type directly from the variables pane. One case could be, if you chose to store some settings in the sequence file, but the settings are dependent upon fx equipment or the product variant. It can be handy to have a variable with the settings, and an array of settings specific to various configurations from which you can choose. But the 'settings' container and the type in the array of settings containers, of course have to align. And this is best achieved by a custom data type. Often sequences start out for one configuration only, and later on the need for multiple configurations occurs - and that's why I think it could be handy - if you were able to convert a container, already in the variable pane, into a custom data type. To change the adapter settings every time instead of traversing from configure tools menu it would be extremely convienent to launch the adapter configuration dialog box by just double clicking on its icon available in the insertion palette. Present implementation : Left single click on icon sets it as the active adapter. (Requires 4 clicks) New request : Double click this to launch the adapter configuration dialog box.(Requires one double click) It would be nice to be able to log all requirement links during execution in the report. I think the option should be similar to "Include Attributes". Currently, loging requirement links in steps is easy as additional result (preconfigured, just include it in step settings). But logging requirement links in sequences or sequence files is not easily done. It requires either a dummy step which transfers the requirement list to the step requirements or an overelaborate expression in the sequence call step. I think a drop down would be a good option: "Log requirements list: - For all steps - For steps and sequences - For steps, sequences and sequence files" I am not sure if more options are necessary as empty requirement lists wouldn't appear in the report at all. Norbert Hi, As in the subject: Get the focus out from the OK button in the Expression Browser window. Now, when you write an expression in the Expression Browser and you'd like to go to new line by hitting Enter, instead of going to new line the Expression Browser closes down. O course we can use Shift+Enter combination to get to the new line, but the habit is to hit the Enter key. However, if the focus would be not on the OK button but inside of Expression window the problem would dissapear. K. The settings field can easily become too long to see every active option and there's not necesarily any consistency between steps if they have differing options. What I mean by that is if you only set the "Do Not Record Result" (my favorite) option in one step, it will be on the left of the settings field. But if you now set several options on another step, the settings are not lined up so that it becomes hard to see at a quick glance which steps I forgot to not record (because TS still doesn't default to not recording steps). You have to analyze the settings line for each step. I propose something more graphical and ordered. Here's my idea of at least ordered. The text could be replaced with icons representing each setting. Then it would be graphical, ordered, and concise. What more can you ask for? As NI has acknowledged (here, here) for more than 5 years, the Build .sql File button creates schemas with errors. This is even true for the default schemas in the left of the dialog. Would be great if NI would go ahead and correct this. BTW - to create default tables in the meantime, a developer should use a SQL file located here: <TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels\Data Right now, you really can't reliably use anything other than a basic ASCII character set in TestStand, which means that some SI units (such as ohms) cannot be represented in their preferred way (with an omega). It also means that you can't put non-english characters in your sequence file and reliably have them show up if your sequence file is opened on a different computer with a different language localization (which causes a huge problem if your customer demands support for non-English languages, and has more than one site -- that speaks a different language -- around the world). Make TestStand support Unicode, so we can use the full greek character set for things like units, and so we can type characters from any language in our sequence files, and not have them change to a different character if we open them on a computer with a different localization. It looks like there is no "gentle" way to access the results of the executed tests in ongoing execution during this execution. Sometimes there is a need to access the test results during the execution, before the data will be committed to the database, and execution is still ongoing. The reason for that could be we can reuse the some data of the test in other tests, or we can use for example the status of the test to drive the flow in our sequence. It looks like there is no other general way to do that as only described by Sasha here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/RunState-Proc So, theoretically, - please read Sasha post - we have recipe to access all results we want. However, problem with accessing the result list is that, that it is done via the index of the ResultList array. It leads us to two problems: 1. the elements in that list depends on the step position in the sequence file, which makes the editing sequence almost impossible, 2. if our sequence contain loops the problem from the point above is even more impossible. Therefore, the idea: Please prepare the easy accessible, not index based as it is now, method (container?) which developers can access the Results containers of the steps on the fly during the execution. Handler proposal 1: Step name (binded as unique ID) + execution order number Handler proposal 2: Callers path + StepName +execution order number where execution order number could be the handler which could be number 0 by default unless the step is called few times. Other post: https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Accessing-me Please support triple-clicking like in LabVIEW or Firefox... A double-click selects the word at the click position (OLD behavior), a triple-click selects the whole text (like <CTRL>+<A>, NEW behavior) Thanks! It isn't uncommon to deploy customized TestStand options, such as search directories, on a deployment computer. It would be much easier to do this if the search directories in TestStand were stored in their own .ini file rather than in TestExec.ini. You can obviously set the search directories in TestExec.ini quickly using the built-in search directories GUI, but when distributing the TestExec.ini file to the deployment computer, you have to be careful that none of the other options contained in the file don't inadvertently cause problems when executing TestStand deployments. A separate .ini file for search directories would clearly remedy this situation. When creating custom step types, it is highly recommended to use Post-Step for calling execution module instead of Default Module. Thus, when instanciating a custom step type, parameters passing is not saved within the sequence but only in the step type definition. This allows to change parameters passing without having to update all the step types instances. In some big test benches, it is intersesting to have low-level step types and high step types based on low level step types. High level step types execution modules are sequences using low level step types. Since sequence adapter is not available for Post-Step, we are obliged to call the sequence through Default Module. Thus it can generate problems when adding parameters in sequence call. I suggess to allow Sequence Call in SubStep creation : Jean-Louis Schricke, MESULOG TestStand Architect When using the TestStand API, I always find myself switching back and forth between TestStand and the TestStand reference help. While the intellisense function help is usually enough, many times I like seeing the more detailed information in the help. I would really like to have the option of displaying context specific help in a TestStand pane, similar to the context help window in LabVIEW. This pane could dynamically update to display function information when using expressions, or show general information about the active pane or dialog (for newer users). Much of the linking for the second case is already done, since the F1 key will pull up relevant help for the active pane currently. Often working with Full Featured UI and Simple UI codes to create custom interfaces for TS, I noticed that the versions shipped with LV2012 are full of deprecated functions. Also, most of their implementation go against good LV coding rules. Re-writing them could be a great idea ! The TestStand R&D team is committed to reviewing every idea submitted via the TestStand Idea Exchange. However, we cannot guarantee the implementation of any TestStand Idea Exchange submission until further documented.
You have to look closely for Cadel Evans when watching a replay of the final kilometers of Flèche Wallonne. The BMC Racing Team rider, resplendent in the rainbow stripes of the world champion, doesn't hit the front until the last 100 meters of his victory in the northern classic. Reconnaissance Was Important Flèche Wallonne ends with the 1.3-kilometer long fabled climb of the Mur de Huy, which features an average grade of 9.3 percent and some ultra steep sections of 26 percent. Three-quarters of the way up the twisting tarmac, it looked to be a two-man race between Alberto Contador and Igor Antón. But Evans knew he had time to make his move. He and the rest of the BMC Racing Team had ridden the final climb earlier in the week. "I saw the climb from a different perspective (in training),” Evans said. “I realized I had always raced it with the wrong tactic. Today I had good position right from the start, but waited until the last 100 meters. That was the way to do it.” Kroon Takes A Tumble With the finish line in sight, Evans clawed his way past Contador as the Tour de France champion began to falter. It would be the first time an Australian had won an Ardennes Classic and the first victory by the reigning world champion at Flèche Wallonne since Belgian Claude Criquielion in 1985. But not everyone on the BMC Racing Team was able to immediately celebrate the team's first victory of 2010. Dutchman Karsten Kroon broke his nose and cheekbone when he crashed into a guardrail with 70 kilometers to go. He would miss nearly two months of competition while recovering.

I truly enjoy teaching. My strategy involves actively engaging the student in the learning process. I always try to develop personalized programs based on each student's strengths and weaknesses. In 2006 I graduated from Bowling Green State University (Ohio) with a Master of Science degree. During my Master's program I worked as a teaching assistant in General and Organic Chemistry Laboratories. I was responsible for a brief introduction of the material prior to every lab period. This greatly helped me to learn how to organize material I was to present and explain difficult concepts in a simple manner. At USC as a Ph.D. student, I had a chance to work for the Student Athletes Academic Service where I was a chemistry and math tutor. In addition, during the spring of 2007 I was working as an assistant for the Organic Chemistry Course at LA Trade Tech College, where I was responsible for weekly sessions. Teaching is truly the joy of my life. I enjoy seeing students discover their gifts, and then watching them develop them. My philosophy of teaching is one of interaction rather than lecture. Students learn more effectively when they are partners in the learning experience. Reading comprehension and writing skills are both areas where students must feel a sense of ownership in learning. Also, technology has provided a unique platform for helping students feel empowered, and they are better able to take an active role. Teaching has evolved over the past thirty years from a passive experience on the part of the student to an active one. I am happy to be a teacher during a progressive age. I have a broad background as an educator. My years in the classroom as both an English teacher and an assistant principal have given me a unique perspective in both curriculum and the needs of the individual student. Following my public school years, I have taught freshman English composition at a local community college as well as served as a tutor to middle and high school students. I have enjoyed guiding students in improving their writing and analytical skills. I am also excited by the advantages of using the Internet as a teaching tool to a generation of technology-savvy students. I believe that every child is capable of learning and that every child has their own style of learning. As a teacher, I believe in differentiated instruction that allows all students an equal opportunity to learn. I believe in teaching through student exploration. Once a child is able to discover a concept on their own, they are able to better understand and remember it. My approach to teaching is to expose students to practical problems. Once these problems are understood, I introduce a mathematical concept that should allow them to discover a solution to the problem. Throughout this approach, I’m always encouraging and patient. I always stress the importance of making an attempt at solving a problem, as in my favorite quote, “Without struggle, there is no progress.” During completion of my undergraduate degree in math, I always strived to achieve excellence in education and to pass on my love for learning. Throughout my college career, I’ve tutored at the undergraduate, the middle and the high school levels. Such exposure allowed me to determine the concepts students have the most difficulty in understanding, and I’m able to prepare accordingly. Upon completion of my degree, I accepted an analyst position with an HR Consulting firm. During these four years, I gained vital experience that allows me to transfer mathematical concepts into real world examples. Such experience has proven to be critical in helping students visualize practical examples of what they learn. I have since left the Consulting firm and entered into teaching. I’m finally doing what I enjoy the most, teaching and passing on a love for learning. First and foremost, I believe it is important to establish a trusting relationship with those you teach. Throughout my experiences in the field of education, I have found the most fruitful of those relationships to be those in which I was able to work with a student or group of students regularly over an extended period of time to develop a routine and a strong relationship in which great amounts of learning and understanding could be accomplished. Although many people experience obstacles in learning Mathematics, I believe that by presenting multiple ways to approach a problem, every student can find a method that works for them. Every student should be allowed the resources and opportunity to realize that they CAN achieve their goals. I am here to help students who have had difficulty with Math in the past to succeed, and feel confident in both their abilities in Math, and in life. As a student, I was always committed to learning and to achieving my goals. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to help others share the same love for learning and for understanding as I do. Now, I help others set goals, and work toward achieving them. I have worked with all ages, all ability levels, and various sized groups and have enjoyed each and every experience. In the past, I have primarily tutored in the subject of Mathematics, but am also trained by the Literacy Council to tutor reading and writing, and have enjoyed volunteering with that organization as well. I believe that I can help anyone enjoy and understand math, and help them feel better about themselves for it. I love children and enjoy teaching, as I am a trained teacher. I know how to handle the children according to their age. I think a teacher should be a friend, a philosopher and a guide to the students. I have earned a master's degree in physics and bachelor's degree in education. I understand the methodology of teaching. I have two years of work experience in teaching. First I started my career by teaching physics in a vocational secondary school for one year. Then I worked in a high school teaching upper level math & science classes. I am a very enthusiastic tutor and, as I stated in the previous section, believe teaching in such a way that the student gains a true mastery of the given subject. In a sense, I believe in each student understanding a particular concept in their own unique way that is consistent with their unique thinking processes. I strive to do this by relating a given concept analogously to something the student already fundamentally understands. I also create new problems to solve that probe the students’ progress and comprehension. I try to make these problems as realistic as possible to make them interesting to the student. Being a Ph.D. candidate and appointed research assistant, I very much realize the importance of true comprehension of a subject. Not only do I hold two B.S. degrees in Applied Mathematics and Chemical Engineering but I also carry credits to the equivalent of a Non-Thesis Masters in Applied Mathematics and am one course shy of a minor in Chemistry. I have tutored groups of students for Sylvan Learning Centers, conducted one-on-one sessions with Educational Enrichment and independently, and prepared and delivered lectures for advanced undergraduate chemical engineering courses. I am capable and experienced in tutoring all levels of mathematics, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics and materials science. I believe each student has a unique way of learning, and that my job is to discover and support that learning style. Every writer has his or her own voice, and I work to empower writers to express their thoughts as clearly and powerfully as possible. My goal is not to impose information but to guide students in discovery, to support critical thinking and foster new perspectives. Writing is an intensely personal and creative act; I believe in providing a framework within which writing students can comfortably and confidently learn the strategies to speak easily on the page. I've spent most of my life helping people learn, starting as a peer tutor in high school! I began teaching professionally as a teaching assistant in college, and since then I've taught in a wide variety of settings, including government training programs, workplace and vocational education, university, high school and community college classes, and private language schools. As a published writer, I mentor and coach writing students in fiction, nonfiction and college composition, and I've designed and developed many classes and programs to support writing students of all levels. I was a tutor for three years at the International School of Languages in Beverly Hills, working with foreign students to improve their command of English. With a BA and MA in Russian studies and a minor in English and journalism, as well as certification in adult literacy, GED and basic education and a community college credential, I have a wide range of experience in language education and writing competency. The NY Regents Examinations are quickly approaching. Students may be preparing for 1, 3, or more subject tests to secure themselves one of the regents diplomas. There are few states that have such differentiated high school diplomas. Students can receive one of these honors diplomas by achieving high level scores on multiple Regents examination subject tests. Students can receive a Regents diploma, Regents diploma with an advanced designation, Regents diploma with honors or a Regents diploma with advanced designation with honors. The Regents examination subject tests include: Geometry, U.S. History and Government, Earth Science, Chemistry, Comprehensive English I and II, Living Environment, Global History and Geography, Writing, Physics, as well as several foreign languages – French, Italian, German, Latin, Hebrew, and Spanish. Students will be taking the regents examinations from June 16th to June 25th. Preparations for these tests should begin one month prior to the test date. The higher a student scores on these tests the higher the level of diploma they can achieve. For the specific requirements for each of the regents diplomas, visit the New York State’s website: NY Regents Diplomas. Today many students take college level course starting in 11th grade with Advanced Placement courses. Other students are attending a community college, technical college, Business College, medical college, or even a prestigious 4-year university.

Hemingway was arrested last week on a sixth-degree larceny charge which the Daily Campus first reported but that had no bearing on whether he’d be eligible to play this season.

Rob Levit is an amazing guitarist and a deep, feeling musician. Uncertain Path (Symbol System, 2004) revealed his electric side alongside a band, and now Touch the Spirit explores his solo relationship with the acoustic guitar, both steel and nylon, with a bit of electric thrown in. Levit is also a bit of a Renaissance man--he painted the album art.

State utility commissioners have gone on record asking Congress to "call them first" before it legislatively restructures the electric industry. That resolution prompted some of the liveliest debate at the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners' (NARUC) Winter Committee meetings. About 1,000 people attended the 10-day event in Washington, DC, February 21 to March 1. Peter C. Nelson was named president and CEO of California Water Service Co. Nelson also will be a director. He comes from Pacific Gas & Electric Co., where he was v.p.-division operations. He replaces the retiring Donald L. Houck. Jack Lucido of ANR Pipeline Co. was elected to the American Gas Association's pipeline research committee, succeeding Gary Walker of Pacific Transmission Co. The Electric Power Research Institute hired Karl G. Van Orsdol as senior manager, international relations. jü( )l, n: A unit of energy measurement equal to a watt-second.

The mine's 70 billion gallons of water remain at 58°F year-round. In winter, well water goes through a heat exchanger, transferring heat from the mine water to a heat pump system, which converts the heat to warm air. In summer, the process is reversed. William T.

Anyone on the East Coast can tell you a good snow story this winter. Like when I looked out my front window one morning and saw a four-wheel-drive utility vehicle get stuck in the middle of my street in downtown Washington. After spinning his wheels for a while, the driver got out and began walking toward Connecticut Avenue, a main DC thoroughfare. The driver soon returned, carrying a fresh, steaming cafe latte from Starbucks in each gloved hand. He opened the door, climbed in, and gave one cup to his passenger. Flexible rate options can remain cost-based, even in a buyer's market, and yet allow choice between price, reliability, and scheduling. Customers with a choice are demanding, and getting, lower electric bills. These customers generally include municipals and large industrials. Municipals, as wholesalers, gained access to alternative suppliers via the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

Starbucks’ CEO was a star turn at last night’s event in celebration of Harvard Business Review's 90th anniversary. Schultz has been outspoken about the management of the United States over the past eighteen months, and he didn't hold back in conversation with HBS professor, Nancy Koehn. Acknowledging that it is “somewhat unorthodox and unprecedented” for the CEO of a public company to speak out about government, he was nonetheless unapologetic, training his sights on the current state of the United States and, in particular, the looming fiscal cliff. How is it possible to have got within 34 days of this impending catastrophe? he asked. In whose interest are the politicians working? And, he warned, while not dealing with the fiscal cliff would be catastrophic, the Bandaid-based solution that politicians will likely paper over the crisis is “equally as irresponsible.” For us to face $16 trillion in debt, with 14 million unemployed, the budget deficit, municipalities declaring bankruptcy… We’re all dressed up here in New York City, we’re getting ready for the holiday season. But America is not the America our parents fought for and promised us. The issue as business leaders, as citizens, is to understand we cannot embrace the status quo. "I didn’t come here to depress anybody," Schultz added, to rueful laughs from an audience which, it should be said, comprised a classic HBR crowd of senior corporate leaders and management thinkers. "I came to speak the truth." And the truth as Schultz sees it is that national leaders have lost the trust of the people. "Leadership are not putting their feet in the shoes of the American people. They’re putting their feet in the shoes of their own party and extremists. That’s a disaster." Given the goings-on that Americans (and those who live here) have recently endured in the endless run-up to the Presidential election, it’s hard to disagree. And it turns out it was the election itself that spurred Schultz into voicing his concerns, when he discovered the many billions of dollars set to be spent on campaigning by the candidates and their parties. I was stunned by that. And once you’re exposed to something so inconsistent with what you believe, the question is, ‘are you a bystander? Do you walk away?’ For Schultz, walking away was not an option, and in 2011 he issued a Starbucks-wide email, Leading Through Uncertain Times, and called on his C-suite friends to boycott campaign donations “till people play nice and move the country forward for benefit of people, not party.” Back at the HBR event, he added: Everyone in this room, Republican, Democrat, Independent, will agree with this statement: we all know that something is wrong. We absolutely know it. Yet we’re sitting here as if everything is going around like a merry-go-round, like everything’s fine. "Do you feel alone in this?" asked Koehn of Schultz’s stand against the establishment. Delightfully, Starbucks’s founder was blunt in reply. "Everyone I talked to had a sense of understanding and sensitivity about the issue but they were afraid," he said, as the audience shifted uncomfortably in their seats. "It’s not that I’m alone. I think people do not have the courage to step out right now." Schultz wasn’t all doom and gloom. Asked to nominate a leader who motivates him, he recommended two speeches by RFK: the "Ripple of Hope" speech given in South Africa in 1966, and the impromptu announcement of the assassination of Martin Luther King in 1968 (embedded below.) Why these particularly? Those two speeches define leadership, courage, conviction, what it means to believe in something, what we’re lacking as society around the world… We need to find heroes once again. I don’t think we fully realize how high the stakes are, how we are allowing the greatest nation in the history of the world to drift towards mediocrity. I don’t understand why we are here. We have such greatness, possibilities, and optimism and we’re allowing this to take place. It was a sobering conclusion, but inspiring to see a leader take a stand on what we all know. President Obama, you should call Mr Schultz into your meetings with business leaders.

Literature and poetry, especially by and about women, have been a lifelong passion. While not directed specifically at the “design” profession, these books have informed and influenced my imagination, mind and soul. They also provide insights into various cultures, broadening our understanding of the world and learning how other people deal with life. In addition, all of the books by Bruno Munari are worth your time. I had the good fortune to know Bruno in the 1950s and ‘60s as a young designer with a Fulbright grant. All his work was delightful and produced with the simplest of means. Once, when we went to dinner with Bruno Danese and Jacqueline Vodoz—our great friends and major producers of postwar minimalist products—the service was severely lacking. Bruno Munari’s command, therefore, was to have pere tagliate, zucchero e limone for dessert: thinly sliced peeled pears, cored and skinned, and spread like butterfly wings on individual plates, where they were infused with lemon and then sprinkled with the perfect amount of crunchy sugar. So delicious—out of this world—and so time-consuming to prepare. That’s only one reason why you should read these small, graphic gems, which are very precise and full of multidimensional surprises.

The role of the PGSIG is to enhance and support the teaching and learning of physical geography in primary and secondary schools. We aim to do this by: - Promoting the importance of physical geography in the school curriculum; particularly its relevance to society (practical application) and its value for intellectual development (curiosity and explanation) and spiritual development (awe and wonder). - Promoting effective teaching strategies and pedagogies for teaching physical geography topics in the curriculum, particularly approaches that inspire students' interest, make topics accessible and encourage active teaching and learning. - Promoting up-to-date understanding of physical geography knowledge and concepts relevant to teachers. - Promoting critical thinking through physical geograph. - Liaising with cognate groups and organisations and, where appropriate, providing representation to external bodies concerned with educational and curriculum development. What we do The PGSIG meets three times a year (usually at GA HQ in Sheffield) to discuss and review progress with projects and do much of the 'work' between meetings. Our latest project is a review of physical geography in AS textbooks, which aims to provide teachers with information on how comprehensive and helpful the sections on physical geography are for teachers and students, considering criteria such as accuracy, pedagogic style, examples used and possibilities for wider application. We hope to publish results by the end of the summer 2010. We also meet at the GA Annual Conference and provide cross-phase 'hands-on' workshops that provide interesting ways to teach topics that can seem remote or tricky (previous highlights include the successful 'Sweet Physical Geography' - modelling physical geography using food). Members also run workshops for primary teachers and teacher-to-teacher sessions for secondary teachers. At the 2010 Annual Conference in Derby we introduced delegates to a range of physical geography activity ideas covering such topics as fluvial processes, glacial landforms and longshore drift. Download: Making the world come to life in the classroom - activity ideas (PDF, 836k) Download: Fifteen websites for physical geography (PDF, 4.8M) Plans for the future include extending the text book audit to other key stages, promoting articles for Teaching Geography and Primary Geographer, plus developing joint projects with environmental organisations and other working groups to create stimulating new resources for the classroom. Who we are We are teachers who are passionate about physical geography, usually because it has given us and our students so much pleasure in experiencing and understanding the world around us (physical geographers are never at a loss wherever they are!). The group comprises teachers, teacher educators and higher education lecturers. We are always keen to hear suggestions for useful projects from teachers (primary or secondary), so please do send ideas of what you think might be useful for our consideration - and if you are interested in joining or contributing the PGSIG in other ways then please get in touch.

Rough & Ready’s primary tree supply comes in the 22-to 24-inch diameter range — far short of the 60 inches that often characterize old-growth trees, she said. The trees that are generally included in federal thinning proposals are less than 20 inches, and those trees are unsuitable for many lumber markets. Phillippi said the mill could reopen if efforts to create a timber trust on O & C lands prove successful. In other OB updates: Dissing Portland's South Waterfront neighborhood, Nike decided to expand its headquarters in Washington County instead, yet another example of the trend we reported on yesterday about jobs fleeing the urban core. And finally: a few days after women's soccer team The Portland Thorns played their first game, the Oregonian's Anna Griffin reports on the advertising brou-ha-ha caused by a Timbers' marketing campaign featuring t-shirts with the slogan "Feeling Thorny?" Suffice it to say the campaign was killed almost as quickly as it was created. OB reporter Jon Bell featured the Thorns in his April cover story profiling Game Changers in Oregon's sports market.

A qualitative study was undertaken to determine how patients in one practice responded to the use of computers, and the issues which particularly concerned them when doctors used computers in the consultation. Thirty patients whose age-sex characteristics were proportional to the age-sex distribution of one practice were selected to be interviewed within two weeks of a consultation. The interviews were taped, transcribed and analysed. Patients had seen or used computers in many other places and accepted their role in data management. Patients with more experience of computers were more aware of their limitations, particularly with regard to the possibility of loss of confidentiality. Patients did not think the use of a computer led to a loss of the personal touch in the consultation as long as verbal skills and eye contact were maintained. However, they did expect doctors using computers to have acquired computer skills. All but one patient said they wanted to see what was on the screen, although 11 did not know they had the right to read their notes on the screen. Patients regarded the use of computers by their doctors as normal and indicative of the doctors being up to date. Most respondents were concerned about possible loss of confidentiality. This concern, and their expressed preference for computer details to be visible and shared, pose challenges to doctors' technical and communication skills.

I use watet from an artesian well for my AG brewing. The well is across town and I get by filling up water jugs. This water gives me a near perfect chemistry for my mash. My current jug apacity is 11 gallons, which is half of what I need. Is there any reason not to use purified water (available 1/2 block away)for sparging, etc. Am I correct in thinking that the sparge is just rinsing out the sugars and chemistry is no longer important? wrong. DI water will not maintain the desired acidity during sparge and will result in tannin extraction. Artesian water is no guarantee that it is perfect for mash chemistry. That water may be right for one beer and poor for another style or it may not be good for anything. You just can't tell by stating that the water is 'Spring Water' or 'Artesian Water'. Hopefully you have a water report or have had it lab tested. You should visit the Bru'n Water site and download Bru'n Water to help with your mash water chemistry. There is a large section on Water Knowledge included with the program. Regarding the use of ionized water, it might be OK for sparging if the pH is within the desired range of 5.5 to 6.0. You mention Ionized Water. That is somewhat of a meaningless term. Now if you meant Deionized Water, then it might be a good starting point for sparging. The problem with using un-mineralized water like this is that the overall ion content in the wort may not be sufficient for several important processes in the ferment. The most important would be to have the Ca content at a minimum of 40 ppm (preferably 50 ppm) and the Mg content at a minimum of 5 ppm. Using deionized water may not be a problem if that artesian water already had high Ca and Mg and this dilution just brings it down to reasonable levels. Visit the Bru'n Water site here:https://sites.google.com/site/brunwater/ Yep no shortage of Ca or Mg in this water.http://www.slcgov.com/utilities/PDF%...ell%202007.pdf I crunched some numbers using that handy spread sheet but not sure I agree with the output. My water was very close in PH in the past and this is saying I may be way to acidic for my mash. I will have to have my chemist friend check out my work.
A woman and a toddler were taken to Lakes District Hospital this morning after a two-car crash at a busy Frankton intersection. A black SUV with three passengers, two women and a child, travelling towards Queenstown on State Highway 6 was struck by a Volkswagen turning right on the Frankton-Miles Highway at 9.45am. Sergeant Kate Pirovano, of Queenstown, said the male driver of the VW was uninjured and the woman and toddler were taken to hospital by ambulance as a precaution. No-one was injured and motorists were encouraged to be patient as Queenstown ramps up for the busy holiday season, she said. ''It's such a high density of traffic here. People need to be more patient, it's that time of year. ''There's a turning bay, you have to be careful as people are travelling pretty quickly.'' The intersection is in an 80kmh zone. - The Southland Times Sponsored links Comments Waihopai dancers twirl into regionals Bluff's Club Hotel awaits fate over heritage Shrek still the star of his domain Reaching high nets reward for student Fireworks might spark regularly in Invercargill Extra eyes on crime hot-spots in region Armed robbery suspect arrested Wild weather taking aim at Sunday Milestone for chance-of-a-lifetime cycle trail Trail-blazers advised to have faith Armed robbery suspect arrested Red zone firebugs risk big bills Council books show major turnaround Fly-fisher 'lacked vital safety gear' Trail-blazers advised to have faith Stake increase for Invercargill Gold Cup Last-minute plea over lakefront plan ignored Incentives offered to switch to wood Extra eyes on crime hot-spots in region Editorial: Few GPs still to bite under-6s bullet Failed appeal fails to deter dog owner Talks continue over Super Rugby game All Blacks focus won't wane for US formality Armed robbery suspect arrested Wild weather taking aim at Sunday NZ plays major part in Eagle's rugby odyssey Carve-up an option for meat co-op Otatara lockdown over but hunt for man continues Brotherly shove helps Bromwich realise dream Digital edition Subscribe to a digital replica of The Southland Times.

County Council members are each allotted 9-thousand dollars in annual stipends plus up to 3-thousand dollars in expenses to cover mileage, equipment and supplies.

As the results from the Nov. 8 city elections sink in, one of the big questions is this: Does Indiana have the glass ceiling when it comes to city and state executives? The question comes after Democrat Melina Kennedy lost in Indianapolis, as did Republican Paula Hughes in Fort Wayne and Charlestown’s Donna Ennis. And several incumbents—Muncie’s Sharon McShurley, Portage’s Olga Valezquez and LaPorte’s Kathy Chroback—were defeated for re-election. There were successes, including former attorney general Karen Freeman-Wilson’s emergence in Gary, the re-election of Sally Hutton in Richmond, Pam Hendrickson in Boonville, Sue Murray in Greencastle, Barbara Ewing in Tell City, Suzanne Handshoe in Kendallville, Patty Fisel in Ligionier and independent Shawna Girgis in Bedford. Republican Kristen Brown defeated Priscilla Scalf in Columbus and 28-year-old Blair Milo upset Chroback in LaPorte. Our last two lieutenant governors—Becky Skillman and Kathy Davis—were females. When given the chance to run for governor, both declined. Democrat Jill Long Thompson lost to Gov. Mitch Daniels. But when it comes to the big cities, it appears harder to break through. Kennedy is the third female in Indianapolis to lose since 1995 and Hughes was the second in Fort Wayne since 2003. In most cities where the gender barrier has been broken, the results were hardly lasting. Mayor Judy Anderson lasted only one term in Terre Haute, as did Eleanor Kesim in Elkhart. In 2003, Indiana had 13 females in the two major parties who ran for mayor and 11 won in 119 cities, and in [[phy_address]] re-election in primaries and another five lost in general re-elections. That’s not to say there haven’t been success stories. Former state representative Nancy Michael in Greencastle (three terms), Jane Reiman in Carmel (two terms), Sally Hutton in Richmond (three terms), Sheila Brillson in Michigan City (two terms), and Tomilea Allison in Bloomington (two terms) were political forces. And then there are the grand dames of mayoral politics. Sonya Margerum served 24 years at the helm in West Lafayette while Republican Maggie Prickett did four terms in Mishawaka. The experience of then-Secretary of State Sue Anne Gilroy in Indianapolis is instructive. She entered the 1999 race with the imprimatur of former mayors Dick Lugar, Bill Hudnut and Stephen Goldsmith, but lost to Bart Peterson by nearly 20,000 votes. Gilroy lost a significant slice of the Republican female vote. “It wasn’t just GOP women,” said J. Cameron Carter, who handled communications for the Gilroy campaign. “We were concerned with the female vote in the closing weeks.” And therein lies the danger to female mayoral candidates. Because the mayor deals with the grittier aspects of public policy, the reality is that many voters see it as a “man’s job.” When Kennedy kicked off her campaign last winter, her husband and small children were just off the stage to her right. At her left was a woman holding a placard reading, “Moms for Melina.” Kennedy noted the ceiling and declared: “It is time to make history.” She spent much of the summer emphasizing early childhood education. If it had worked, we would have called it a brilliant strategy. But I was skeptical, as most voters see mayors dealing with cops and crime, sewers and garbage, not preschool education. When Kennedy found herself trailing by double digits last August, she had to take the gloves off and launch bitter attacks on Mayor Greg Ballard, just as Gilroy was forced to go negative in 1999. Therein lies the unfairness of the process. A male candidate is more likely to get away with the bare-knuckled political brawls than a young mother. So what’s the formula for success for females in bigger cities? It’s a complicated makeup, the mixture of a general, a no-nonsense teacher, a compassionate but firm parent, with a background of success in business or the military. Successful female mayors tend to be older. And they have to hold their own with the good ol’ boys.• __________ Howey is a third-generation Hoosier journalist who publishes Howey Politics Indiana.

The sports car world was changed forever on June 30, 1953 at a temporary automobile facility in Flint, Michigan. That’s when the first completed examples of Chevrolet’s all new 2-seat roadster called the Corvette cruised off the line assembly line and into the hearts of America where would it remain for the next 61 years. Birthday In the early 1950′s, Harley Earl, GM’s head of styling, envisioned a low-cost American sports car that could compete with Europe’s Jaguar, MG and Ferrari. Codenamed “Opel”, the very first prototype made its debut in January 1953 at the GM Motorama show at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. The great reviews and pubic acclaim for the little white roadster prompted GM to fast track the Corvette into production. Sixty years ago today on June 30, 1953, the world’s first production Corvette rolled off its Flint, Michigan assembly line. Chevrolet is celebrating the 59th Birthday of the Corvette this week. Here is a video they released today on the Chevrolet Youtube Channel featuring a look back at 60 years of America’s favorite sports car. Today is offically the 100th birthday anniversary for Chevrolet. Chevrolet Motor Company was launched on Nov 3, 1911 in Detroit when Louis Chevrolet, a Swiss-born race car driver and engineer, teamed up with GM founder Billy Durant. Since then, the company has gone on to sell over 200 million vehicles including over 1.5 million Corvettes. Happy Birthday Chevy and here’s to the next 100 years! Fifty-eight years ago today, the world’s first production Corvette rolled off its Flint, Michigan assembly line which was located at a small factory on Van Slyke Road, next to the Flint Truck Plant. On June 30, 1953, the chevrolet workers who built the first Corvettes gathered around VIN 001 for this group photograph. In that first year of production, only 300 of the Polo White two-seaters would be built and all were assembled by hand.
The Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres were the two worst teams in the NHL last season, and so far it doesn’t look as if things will be much better in 2014-15. Florida Panthers Looking For First Victory Of Season The Florida Panthers are on the brink of their worst start to a season in seven years, but putting Roberto Luongo back in net against the Ottawa Senators could prevent that from happening. Panthers Open Season With Matchup Against Tampa Bay Steven Stamkos was playing some of his best hockey for the first-place Tampa Bay Lightning when a broken leg in mid-November sidelined him for the next 45 games and the Olympics. Rejuvenated Panthers Ready To Start Winning There are reasons to believe that things will be different in Sunrise this season. Top Reasons To Be Excited About The Florida Panthers This Season The Florida Panthers opened training camp last week and are preparing to play in their first preseason game of the new season on Wednesday night against the Dallas Stars at the BB&T Center. Bjugstad Scores As Panthers Beat Maple Leafs 4-2 Nick Bjugstad had two goals and an assist to lift the Florida Panthers to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. Panthers Look For A Win Against Stars With five games remaining, a number of clichés can be applied to the Dallas Stars’ push toward the playoffs. Hurricanes Extend Home Dominance Of Panthers, 5-1 Riley Nash and Alexander Semin scored 87 seconds apart early in the Carolina Hurricanes’ 5-1 rout of the Florida Panthers on Friday night. Panthers Beat Red Wings 5-4 In SO The Detroit Red Wings set themselves up to win a season-high third straight game at home without their two best players. Jovanovski Sparks Panthers To 4-3 Win Over Sabres Ed Jovanovski scored the go-ahead goal and added an assist in his 1,100th career game, sparking the Florida Panthers to a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

Three new cookbooks celebrate the joys of dining at three of my favorite Denver-area restaurants. One, my sentimental favorite, is "Shinin' Times at The Fort," by my friend Holly Arnold Kinney, with photos by Lois Ellen Frank. The Fort restaurant in Morrison has issued cookbooks before, but this is the first to be helmed by Holly, who holds down The Fort following the 2006 passing of her father, Sam Arnold. I've been dining at The Fort for years, and have celebrated several of life's landmarks there. I also remember wonderful evenings that my wife, Linda, and I have spent there with Holly; her husband, Jeremy; and Sam, with whom I shared a love of Western history and a good story. I fondly recall interviewing Sam at his home for a [[phy_address]] profile of the Arnolds, surrounded by shelves stacked high with volumes on the West. Some of Sam's favorite yarns are featured in the new book, as are Holly's memories of growing up at The Fort, accompanied by wonderful family photos. The sheer audacity of The Fort's setting -- it's an adobe replica of Bent's Old Fort, a frontier trading post that stood along the Santa Fe Trail near La Junta -- may lead some who are unfamiliar with the place to dismiss it as a Disney attraction instead of a serious restaurant. In fact, the food is at least as memorable as the building, from bison bones from which hot marrow is scooped like pudding to rattlesnake cakes, and, above all, a sensational assortment of meats in preparations that hark back to trading-post times. And The Fort has always managed to combine ease and informality with impeccable service. NOTE: The Denver Press Club will host a "Book Beat" evening with Holly Arnold Kinney about her new cookbook on Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 6 p.m. Marty Meitus, former food writer for the Rocky Mountain News, will moderate the event, which will feature food samples from The Fort.

That’s a pretty hard passage to miss. In his classic Wealth of Nations, that’s the only occurrence of the phrase “invisible hand.” Maybe England would be saved from neoliberal globalization by an invisible hand. The other great classical economist David Ricardo recognized the same thing and hoped it wouldn’t happen. Kind of a sentimental hope. It didn’t happen for a long time, but it’s happening now. Over the last 30 years that’s exactly what’s underway. For the general population -- the 99 percent in the imagery of the Occupy movement --it’s really harsh and it could get worse. This could be a period of irreversible decline. For the 1 percent, or furthermore 1/10th of 1 percent, it’s just fine. They’re at the top, richer and more powerful than ever in controlling the political system and disregarding the public, and if it can continue, then sure why not? This is just what Smith and Ricardo warned about. So pick Citigroup, for decades one of the most corrupt of the major investment banking corporations. It was repeatedly bailed out by the taxpayer over and over again starting in the early Reagan years and now once again. I won’t run through all the corruption. You probably know it, and it’s astonishing. A couple of years ago they came out with a brochure for investors. They urged investors to put their money in what they call the “plutonomy index.” The world is dividing into a plutonomy, the rich and so on. That’s where the action is. They said their plutonomy index is way outperforming the stock market, so put your money into it. And as for the rest? We set them adrift. We don’t really care about them and we don’t need them. They have to be around to provide a powerful state to protect us and bail us out when we get into trouble, but they essentially have no function. It’s sometimes called these days the “precariat,” people who live a precarious existence at the periphery of society. It’s not the periphery anymore; it’s becoming a very substantial part of the society in the United States and indeed elsewhere. This is considered a good thing. For example, when Alan Greenspan was still “St. Alan,” hailed by the economics profession as one of the greatest economists of all time (this is before the crash for which he is substantially responsible for), he was testifying to Congress in the Clinton years explaining the wonders of the great economy. He said much of this economy was based on what he called “growing worker insecurity.” If working people are insecure, if they’re “precariat” and living precarious existences, then they’re not going to make demands, they won’t make wages, they won’t get benefits and we can kick them out if we don’t like them, and that’s good for the health of the economy. That’s what’s called a healthy economy technically and he was highly praised for this.

A MAN in his 40s was punched in the face as he walked in Bromsgrove in the early hours of Sunday morning (December 16). The incident, which took place between 2am and 3am along Recreation Road, towards Churchfields Road, began when the victim saw three men walking towards him. One shouted across to him, before running over and hitting him. The attacker was white, 19 or 20-years-old, 6ft 2ins tall, and of medium build. He had brown wavy medium length hair and was wearing a grey zip-up hooded top. PC Donna Hopkins, who is investigating the incident, said it appeared to be an unprovoked attack and appealed for anyone who had witnessed it or anyone with any information on it to call her on 101 or Crimestoppers on [[phone_num]].

Stratus merges everRun MX and Avance HA to create continous processing powerhouse Summary: Some workloads simply can't be seen to fail or slow down because the results would be disastrous. Stratus, one of the best known suppliers of continuous processing technology, is merging and refining two of its products to extend performance, manageability and scalability. Dave LeClair, Senior Director of Strategy and Product Management at Stratus Technologies stopped by to bring me up to date on what the company has been doing with its software-based continuous processing products, everRun MX and Avance HA. LeClair said that Stratus was going to announce that it is combining its everRun and Avanace HA technology to create a merged product. This new product would be based upon the KVM hypervisor rather than the Xen technology it used in the past. KVM was selected so that the new merged product could offer improvements in performance, manageability and scale. Snapshot Analysis To best understand the impact of this announcement, we have to examine what is continuous processing, what does everRun MX do, what does Avance HA do and then we can consider the benefit of a merged product.

Bill and Giuliana Rancic Open Up About Recent Miscarriage But after getting pregnant on the first try, Giuliana suffered a miscarriage at nine weeks--and the couple was devastated. "Both of us were in shock," Bill, 39, told PEOPLE. "Failure wasn't an option!" Giuliana said she was wrecked by the news. "I said, 'I'm not doing this again. I can't.' I was angry at life and at God," she reveals. Their reality show, which returns on October 11, will capture the highs of finding out she's pregnant and the lows after the miscarriage. They hope it will help other couples that are struggling with similar issues. "Hopefully we can help people understand that there's nothing to be ashamed of," says Giuliana. "It's such a taboo subject, but it's a very common problem."

At first, she was really discouraged and all. One day she got up and had an idea of adapting a baby from the orphanage center.

Given below are some sayings of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.a.w.) about daughters: "The person who is put to a test because of the birth of the daughters and then he treats them generously, they will become a means of rescue for him from Hell." (Bukhari, Muslim). "The one who brought up two girls till they attained their maturity, will appear along with me on the Resurrection Day ... Saying this the Holy Prophet jointed and raised his fingers. (Muslim). "The one who brought up three daughters, or sisters, taught then good manners and treated them with kindness until they became self-sufficient. AIlah will make Paradise obligatory for him. A man asked: what about two, O Messenger of Allah? The Holy Prophet replied: the same for two." Ibn `Abbas, the reporter of the Hadith, says: "Had the people at that time asked in respect of one daughter, the Holy Prophet would have also given the same reply about her. " (Sharh as-Sunnh). "The one who has three daughters born to him, and he is patient over them, and clothes them well according to his means, they will become a means of rescue for him from Hell. " (Bukhari, Al-Adab al-Mufrad, Ibn Majah). "The Muslim who has two daughters and he looks after them well, they will lead him to Paradise." (Bukhari: Al-Adab al-Mufrad). The Holy Prophet said to Suraqah bin Ju'sham: "Should I tell you what is the greatest charity (or said: one of the greatest charities)? He said: Kindly do tell, O Messenger of Allah. The Holy Prophet said: Your daughter who (after being divorced or widowed) returns to you and should have no other bread-winner." (Ibn Majah, Bukhari Al-Adab al-Mufrad). These are the teachings which completely changed the viewpoint of the people about girls not only in Arabia but among all the nations of the world, which later became blessed with Islam. They ask thee concerning Zul-Qarnain. Say, "I will rehearse to you something of his story. Verily We established his power on earth, and We gave him the ways and the means to all ends. One (such) way he followed, Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness." He said: "Whoever doth wrong, him shall we punish; then shall he be sent back to his Lord; and He will punish him with a punishment unheard-of (before). "But whoever believes, and works righteousness,- he shall have a goodly reward, and easy will be his task as We order it by our Command." Then followed he (another) way,Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no covering protection against the sun. (He left them) as they were: We completely understood what was before him. Then followed he (another) way, Until, when he reached (a tract) between two mountains, he found, beneath them, a people who scarcely understood a word. They said: "O Zul-qarnain! the Gog and Magog (People) do great mischief on earth: shall we then render thee tribute in order that thou mightest erect a barrier between us and them? He said: "(The power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than tribute): Help me therefore with strength (and labour): I will erect a strong barrier between you and them: "Bring me blocks of iron." At length, when he had filled up the space between the two steep mountain-sides, He said, "Blow (with your bellows)" Then, when he had made it (red) as fire, he said: "Bring me, that I may pour over it, molten lead." Thus were they made powerless to scale it or to dig through it. He said: "This is a mercy from my Lord: But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass, He will make it into dust; and the promise of my Lord is true." On that day We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another: the trumpet will be blown, and We shall collect them all together. And We shall present Hell that day for Unbelievers to see, all spread out. (The Holy Quran, 18:83-100)Read more... Surah Al-Buruj mentions ditches of fire in which believers of Allah T'ala were thrown in due to their beliefs. Several stories have been mentioned by the scholars in this regard. Below is one such real tale. The best known event of ditches of fires for the believers perhaps relates to Najran, as related by Ibn Hisham, Tabari, Ibn Khaldun, the author of Mujam al-Buldan and other Muslim historians. The story goes as follows: Tuban Asad Abu Karib, king of Himyar (Yaman), went to Yathrib once where he embraced Judaism under the influence of the Jews, and brought two of the Jewish scholars of Bani Quraizah with him to Yaman. There he propagated Judaism widely. His son Dhu-Nuwas succeeded him. Dhu-Nuwas attacked Najran which was a stronghold of the Christians in southern Arabia so as to eliminate Christianity and make the people accept Judaism. (Ibn Hisham says that these people were true followers of the Gospel of the Prophet Jesus.) In Najran, Dhu-Nuwas ordered people to accept Judaism but they refused to obey. Thereupon he caused a large number of people to be burnt in the ditches of fire and slew many others with the sword until he had killed nearly twenty thousand of them.Read more... BY Dr. Sherif Abdel Azeem The difference between the Biblical and the Quranic conceptions of women is not limited to the newly born female, it extends far beyond that. Let us compare their attitudes towards a female trying to learn her religion. The heart of Judaism is the Torah, the law. However, according to the Talmud, "women are exempt from the study of the Torah." Some Jewish Rabbis firmly declared "Let the words of Torah rather be destroyed by fire than imparted to women", and "Whoever teaches his daughter Torah is as though he taught her obscenity"8 The attitude of St. Paul in the New Testament is not brighter: "As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35) How can a woman learn if she is not allowed to speak? How can a woman grow intellectually if she is obliged to be in a state of full submission? How can she broaden her horizons if her one and only source of information is her husband at home?Read more...

Boo yah! Holla at this playa when you see him in the street! He’s as cool as the other side of the pillow! Call him butter, because he’s on a roll! Don’t hate the playa, hate the game! A few of the numerous catch-phrases from the University of North Carolina alumnus and ESPN commentator, Stuart Scott. In the past, he has gotten criticized for being “too hip” or talking in a “hip hop fashion.” Some people feel that he makes SportsCenter about himself. Some people think that his catch phrases are corny and outdated. However, I do not. I want to give Stuart Scott props and encouragement because Stu is battling cancer again. I have to admit that I got choked up a little when UNC coach Roy Williams presented Stuart Scott with an award at “Late Night with Roy” in October 2011. Scott’s battle with stomach cancer was mentioned that evening. This was Stu’s second bout with cancer. The cancer was first sited after he had an emergency appendectomy in 2007. Stuart Scott encompasses everything that the UNC represents. He is probably the most popular non-athlete from Carolina. Not too bad for a brother who attended R. J. Reynolds in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I like Stuart Scott. However, I did not realize how important he was to Carolina and Tar Heel Nation until he hosted “Late Night with Roy” in October, 2011. He was emotional about being back home at Carolina. Like me, Stuart made his alma mater the same university that also housed his favorite basketball team. Like me, Stuart Scott has had endured some obstacles in life that have not sidelined his goals and plans because they are just bumps in the road to success. Like me, Stuart Scott is a father who loves his children unconditionally. Like me, Stuart Scott is a Tar Heel. Stu takes so much pride in being a Tar Heel. It is evident on SportsCenter. However, now is the time when we need to support Stuart Scott. Back in April 2012, I was up early the other morning (daggum insomnia), and came across tweets from Stu. He was cracking jokes and sharing parts of personal life including his battle with cancer. His enthusiasm and positivity should be well-documented. After enduring chemotherapy, this playa does an hour and a half of P90X or mixed martial arts. If that doesn’t deserve respect, Stu goes on about his life like it’s nothing. He is the real playa, although he isn’t from the Himalayas. He is not holding his head down, or being negative. This is encouraging to others, including myself. Although I do not have cancer to my knowledge, I am inspired by Stu’s “in-your-face” approach towards his current obstacle. I have also had several relatives succumb to cancer, most notably my grandfathers who I did not have to privilege to know very well. I do not know what my future holds. However, I do know that I will not allow any situation to get me down to the point where I feel sorry for myself, or desire sympathy. Stu is clearly NOT a victim. He is a survivor and a warrior. Some people may not like his shtick, but his catch-phrases are a part of his personality. For the record, I love his catch-phrases though you should know this by now. Hate him or love him, this underdog is on top of the sports broadcasting industry. Stu revolutionized how sports broadcasters talk. He made SportsCenter cool and fun to watch. During his career, Stu has had the opportunity to interview President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama. He commentates on professional football and professional basketball. Heck, Stu has even been in several movies including “Drumline,” “Just Wright,” “He Got Game,” “Mr. 3000,” “Enchanted,” and “Herbie Fully Loaded.” Who knew that talking about sports could take someone to Hollywood. SAG card anyone? Literally, he makes a lot of money hanging out at the barbershop; however, he does it with poise, creativity, humor and intellect. Trust me. I’m not hating the playa or the game here. Just giving ‘ol Stu props. Here’s to Stuart Scott. We love how you smile when you discuss a clip or story pertaining the University of North Carolina. We also love how you give an athlete props, rather “how you holla at a playa” for “getting his swerve on.” One day, you will be inducted in to Basketball Hall of Fame for what you do. Keep up the great work. Tar Heel Nation appreciates and loves Stuart Scott. Next time you see this playa in the street, holla at him! Boo yah!

I was born in Fairmont, WV, and grew up mostly in and around the Rochester area. I got my radio start at WBKT at Brockport High school as a sophomore, and was its station manager in my senior year in high school. I had caught the radio & TV bug. While in high school, I started working for the local commercial station in town (WWBK/WJBT). While attending SUNY Brockport, I helped build WBSU-FM, and started as an intern for WXXI-TV. I started working for WXXI in the broadcast operations area, and eventually became an online television editor. In 1985, I took a position at WHYY in Philadelphia in their engineering department, working primarily as a video editor, but also provided audio support for TV productions and for some radio productions, including NPR's Fresh Air. In 1988, I took a position at Hobart & William Smith Colleges as station manager for WEOS, and transformed the station into a public radio service serving the Finger Lakes, including laying the ground work for WITH in Ithaca, which is on the air today. This included expanding coverage area, and increasing local progamming that in some cases, went national. A lot of students I worked with have gone into the broadcast industry, including Jonas Schwartz, Chris Carlin, Josh Horowitz, and Dana Glaser, to name a few. I even dabbled in on air play-by-play sports, garnering a Media person of the year award from the USILA for lacrosse broadcasts. In 2007, I joined WXXI as the radio program manager, to oversee WXXI-AM and WRUR, and work on new projects, which now include our partnership with HWS with WEOS and helping to launch WITH in Ithaca. I have a passion for public media and new music, and strive to continue to grow public media.

Donna Edwards on Why She Voted Against Debt Deal: “A Bad Framework for the Future” President Obama has signed legislation to increase the U.S. debt ceiling in time to avoid a national default. The $2.1 trillion deficit-reduction plan cleared its final hurdle in the Senate yesterday, passing with a 74-to-26 vote. Six Democrats and 19 Republicans opposed the measure. Members of the Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus rejected the deal because of its massive cuts to domestic spending and a lack of tax increases for the wealthy. Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland was among those to vote no, summing up her disappointment on Twitter by writing: "Nada from million/billionaires; corp tax loopholes aplenty; only sacrifice from the poor/middle class? Shared sacrifice, balance? Really?" We speak with Rep. Edwards about why she voted against the plan. [includes rush transcript] - Economist Dean Baker Predicts A "Really Bad Deal or No Deal" from Deficit "Super Committee" President Barack Obama welcomed the deficit deal as "an important first step" and urged both parties to work together on a larger plan to cut the deficit. The deal includes no new tax revenue from wealthy Americans and no additional stimulus for the lagging economy. It has a provision to create a joint committee of 12 legislators charged with finding $1.5 trillion in deficit cuts. The committee must hold its first meeting in 45 days and is expected to set in motion a lobbying frenzy. For more, we speak with Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland, who voted against the plan, and economist Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.

Security Council Wavers on Condemning Crackdown Syrian forces are pushing toward the center of the restive city of Hama as they continue an offensive in which an estimated [[phy_address]] been killed. Residents say they saw explosions Wednesday morning and lines of tanks heading into the city. Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, called on Tuesday for a rapid end to violence in Syria but said direct U.S. involvement was unlikely. The U.N. Security Council met Tuesday to discuss the crisis but failed to reach an agreement. With foreign media and observers banned from Syria, we speak with Nadim Houry, the Beirut-based senior researcher on Syria and Lebanon for Human Rights Watch. "We need a strong Security Council resolution at this stage," Houry says. "[But] there is no support for military action. People inside Syria do not want to see any form of military intervention. They think it will make the situation worse." Instead, Houry calls on Syria to grant access to independent observers, journalists, and a U.N. fact-finding mission. [includes rush transcript] - Thousands Protest Widening Inequality in Israel, But Calls Ignore Occupation and Palestinian Rights In Israel, tens of thousands have joined nationwide protests against high costs of living and growing income inequality. Protesters have set up more than 40 tent encampments scattered across Israel, with as many as 120,000 people turning out to demand lower taxes and increased access to education and housing. In Jerusalem, some 15,000 gathered outside the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We go to Tel Aviv to speak with Dimi Reider, an Israeli journalist and co-editor of 972 Magazine. "What’s happening in Israel is nothing short of revolutionary," Reider says. "We see left-wingers, right-wingers, Palestinian Israelis, Jewish Israelis, ultra-Orthodox, LGBT activists, all coming together to protest against certain issues that they all have a common problem with. The issue of occupation, however, has been largely missing from the protests, partly as a strategic choice by the organizers."

The worst thing that ever happened to Bill Buckner in his entire life was letting that ball roll through his legs during Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Mookie Wilson’s grounder ate up the gimpy Buckner at first base, allowing the winning run to score for the Mets. That tied the series at 3-3 and the Mets went on to claim the championship in seven. You wouldn’t think the guy who played such a prominent role in making Buckner’s life miserable for decades would turn out to be Buckner’s best pal. But you would be wrong. Apparently, Bill Buckner has a Jesus-like capacity for forgiveness. He is now besties with Wilson, the guy who made him one of the all-time goats of sports history. “Bill and I have become very, very close,” Wilson told WIP radio in Philadelphia. “We’re really the best of friends. As good a friend as you can have. … I think I’ve learned more about Bill since both of us have gotten out of the game (than any) ball player I ever played with.” “He’s a great great person,” Wilson went on. “We enjoy each other’s company and we have a lot in common, a lot more than you would think. And it’s just been great.” Bizarrely enough, Wilson and Buckner now do autograph sessions together. Was a time when Buckner would have wanted nothing to do with that kind of arrangement. But he’s no longer hiding from his place in infamy. He’s out in the open. Red Sox fans finally saw fit to find a little bit of Jesus in their hearts and forgive Buckner. So Buckner now feels comfortable with his legacy. The worst moment in Bill Buckner’s life has now become a warm and fuzzy redemption story, if you can believe that. Bill Buckner might not suit up for the Red Sox anymore but that doesn’t mean you can’t support your favorite team by getting 2014 Red Sox tickets from Razorgator now.

In Syria, al Qaeda's regional offshoot — the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant — is striking fear in the hearts of government supporters and pro-democracy rebel groups alike as it tries to take the lead in the country's bloody revolution. But the group is trying to improve its image and win over Syrians with a new secret weapon: Ice cream. The media arm of the al Qaeda affiliate is cranking out videos showing community gatherings in battle-scarred Syrian cities, such as Aleppo, in which party-goers enjoy friendly tug-of-war matches and kids square off in hands-free ice-cream-eating contests during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. "They are well aware that people out there on principle don't like lots of foreign fighters coming in to fight jihad in their country," Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Center, tells The Washington Post. "They are aware they need to reassure people their presence isn’t negative." Many Western observers did not find al Qaeda's "fun day" amusing. Rebecca Lee Sanchez at Global Post thinks this gathering, hosted by the extremist rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra, only shows that al Qaeda is not very convincing when it tries to show a human side. "Games and contests that, in any other setting, might seem sweet and light-hearted — evoking distant, childlike memories for adults who long for the bygone days of their youth — here appear slightly more dismal," she says. Jilly Reilly at Britain's Daily News called it a shameless propaganda display. As Reilly puts it, al Qaeda must be desperate if it thinks silly games (for boys) and public Koran readings (for girls) are going to make people forget about its sectarian attacks and mass murder.

Having long ago shed its “Brits abroad” reputation, Benidorm has reinvented itself as one of the best beach destinations in Spain, from the package holiday deals to the luxurious hotel complexes. Benidorm is a popular resort city on the sunny Costa Blanca of Spain. It boasts excellent facilities for shopping, sports and entertainment with a host of notable theme parks, golf clubs, bars and cafes, and first-rate accommodation ranging from five-star hotels to self-catering apartments – earning it the nickname, Manhattan of Spain.

There’s plenty to occupy your children, while a host of restaurants and bars provide meals that are suitable for the little ones.

Playa de Poniente in particular has newly-built volleyball courts and a promenade that makes it easily accessible from Benidorm’s variety of hotels.

Social media monitoring really took off about five years ago with many companies hiring chief listening officers to bring the social media discussions into the boardroom. The job description was simple: monitor all forms of social media to see what the buzz was about the company and pass on any complaints, product ideas, or tips to various departments within the organization. However, as we get ready to turn the corner to 2015, some believe a CLO is too passive to be effective.

... Hometown ... Debut 1990 Shortly after Chris Jericho made his surprising return on Monday Night Raw, the Wyatt Family provided a surprise of their own when Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan suddenly appeared in the ring to attack the former undisputed champion. When Wyatt was in NXT, Jericho specifically requested to WWE officials to let him work with Wyatt. The belief is that he did so again upon signing a contract to return. July 1, 2014 In the eyes of the fans, WWE is definitely a step up from TNA. However, that is not the case when it comes to the performers themselves. During a podcast interview with Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam revealed that several of the guys backstage in TNA did not view WWE as a wise career move for themselves, as a lot of performers have failed to make progress after signing with Vince McMahon. March 18, 2014 Godfather was a given a chance with WWE because of his real life friendship with the Undertaker. November 7, 2013 Through social media, Gene Snitsky has expressed his dissatisfaction with TNA for not bringing him on board full time. He did a couple of segments on Impact Wrestling this summer, but management has opted to remain fiscally responsible, as they are still trying to secure a new television contract. The company is expected to start signing wrestlers are that happens. October 19, 2014 Reports have surfaced that TNA will announce their new television deal before the end of October. It is being said that Dixie Carter has informed business partners that an announcement is coming soon, in hopes of alleviating some of the concerns that they currently have with Impact Wrestling. Still no word yet on which network the company will be signing on with, though. October 17, 2014 Back in June, Brodus Clay was given a release by WWE, so he informed his fans that his professional wrestling career was far from over. After exploring his options in Japan, the former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg decided to remain stateside by signing with TNA. He made his television debut for the company this week on Impact Wrestling by aligning himself with Ethan Carter and defeating Shark Boy in a match. October 16, 2014 Earlier this month, Nick Dinsmore was given a release by WWE after the company refused to sign him to a new contract as a trainer. During a recent interview, he hinted on a return as an in ring performer. Dinsmore did not specify which company he would be signing with, but he did state that it was one of the highest profile wrestling companies in the world. October 13, 2014 During Bound For Glory 2014, Bully Ray and Devon specifically mentioned the Bullet Club, a stable in New Japan. That is of interest because the pay per view was promoted by Great Muta and Wrestle-1. This has led to speculation that Team 3D may end up signing with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling because the company has a partnership with New Japan. October 12, 2014 Rumors spread rather quickly this week about Josh Mathews joining TNA when pictures of the announcer leaving the company headquarters appeared online. While no official confirmation has been made on the signing, the belief is that a contract has already been reached. While there is still a slight chance that he might be wrestling for the company, the widespread belief is that he is coming in as an announcer. September 25, 2014 There was a lot of hype behind the signing of Prince Devitt, so WWE wants to figure out a good way to introduce the international star to their fan base. Reports have surfaced that the company is thinking about utilizing him in the tag team division to start. The two names that have been toss around as potential partners are Sami Zayn and the newly signed Kevin Steen. September 19, 2014 While reports are saying that their contract with Spike TV is expiring at the end of the year, executives in TNA are still making moves as if they are definitely going to remain on television. The company has now booked the Manhattan Center in New York City for three more episodes of Impact Wrestling. It appears that Dixie Carter is extremely confident that they will be signing a deal somewhere. September 15, 2014 "Well right now I'm not at liberty to say where I'm going but I will tell you I'm going to do the right thing for me and my family. I am in the process of structuring a deal and I do have a company in mind. I haven't said yes because I want to make it a public thing with the company and myself. I can't really say who it is or where I'm going but I can tell you it's going to happen in the next two weeks before my contract is even up. I won't be wrestling until January but there will be a signing in the next couple of weeks." - Kurt Angle hinting on whether he will stay with TNA or return to WWE September 10, 2014 As soon as Alberto Del Rio revealed to the world that WWE cannot legally prevent him from working, there was interest from several promotions across the world. The most notable one being TNA. John Gaburick reportedly contacted the former world heavyweight champion about possibly signing a contract with the company. Del Rio and Gaburick worked together in WWE. September 4, 2014 It was a pretty big deal when WWE announced that they were inviting Michael Sam to show up on Monday Night Raw because the first openly gay player in the NFL has been generating quite a bit of publicity over the last couple of months. However, with him signing with the Dallas Cowboys, WWE has now decided to remove all mentions of the invitation, including an open letter from Stephanie McMahon, to avoid looking like they were rejected. September 3, 2014 While WWE will continue to put the full court press on, it appears very unlikely that Michael Sam will be making an appearance on Monday Night Raw for Vince McMahon. The defensive end from Missouri University is currently in the process of signing a contract with the Dallas Cowboys after being released by the St Louis Rams. Once the deal goes through, he will more than likely be prohibited from being involved with WWE. September 2, 2014 Since Batista is now openly talking about what retirement match he would like to do, the belief within the industry is that they would not be shocked if he were to leave WWE in the near future. The success of Guardians of the Galaxy and the signing of the sequel basically ensures that Batista will be involved with the Marvel Universe, which is really thriving now, for the next several years. August 19, 2014 While a lot of fans have already started writing the obituary for TNA, the company is moving forward as usual. Dixie Carter has yet to secure a new television deal for Impact Wrestling, and there are rumors that Spike TV is not interested in signing a new contract, but the company continues to sign wrestlers to extensions and is actually bringing in some new ones as well. August 3, 2014 While many fans are expecting TNA to cease operations in the near future, the company is going against the grain by signing several wrestlers to contract extensions. Today, the company announced that Zema Ion has been signed to a new multiple year deal. The belief is that the company is also hoping to lock down more performers before the year ends. July 31, 2014 Josh Mathews might not be out of a job for too long. Rumors are floating around that TNA is very close to signing him to a contract. When he was backstage at Impact Wrestling, he did not seem like a typical visitor, as management was introducing him to people backstage. The belief is that he would be a valuable asset since he understands a lot about the production in WWE. July 25, 2014 Over the last couple of months, there have been plenty of rumors in regards to WWE signing international star Prince Devitt to a contract. Things heated up even more when he left New Japan. Things died down a bit when no announcement was made, but it looks like the rumor mills are heating up again. Reports are surfacing that the deal has now been reached, and he should be showing up to developmental soon. July 23, 2014 In a sign that the financial situation in TNA is not as bad as many make it out to be, the company has signed new deals with three of their performers. Sam Shaw and Brooke Tessmacher are signed to new multiple year contracts, while international star Seiya Sanada has agreed to a one year deal. There were a lot of concerns about the company when they released several performers, so much of that should be alleviated now that they are signing new deals with their workers. July 23, 2014 While he has already said his farewell to Ring of Honor fans, Kevin Steen is reportedly not under contract to WWE just yet. Word has it that he has yet to complete the medical testing that the company requires all new performers to undergo before signing a deal. If there are any lingering injuries, then there is a chance that Steen might not be picked up by the WWE developmental program. July 16, 2014 Rumors are floating around that Matt Hardy is leaving ROH very soon. His contract is set to expire, and the belief is that neither side is interested in signing an extension. Ring of Honor officials are said to be upset with Hardy for working a couple of episodes of Impact Wrestling for TNA recently. There are also rumors that Hardy is headed back to TNA on a more permanent basis. July 12, 2014 Chris Jericho recently revealed a highly interesting story that took place between Kofi Kingston and Vince McMahon. He said that McMahon was mocking Kingston on a plane, so Jericho instructed Kingston to stand up for himself and challenge McMahon to a fight. Kingston exchanged some heated words with McMahon, and a quick scuffle ensued between the two. October 18, 2014 Even though he is now off doing his music thing, Chris Jericho has agreed to help WWE out on their upcoming tour of Europe. Management does not have a lot of top level talent on the active roster nowadays, and Jericho still is enough of a draw to overseas fans. He might be making a couple of appearances on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown before taking off again. October 9, 2014 Since management really likes the character and wants him back on television and pay per view events, there are talks of doing a baby face turn with Bray Wyatt. WWE ran out of top level opponents for him to work against once he was done with John Cena and Chris Jericho. Wyatt would have a couple of fresh heel opponents to work against if he were to switch sides. October 9, 2014 During his latest podcast interview show, Chris Jericho revealed that he was originally scheduled to work a match against Seth Rollins at Night of Champions 2014. WWE wanted that to match to happen since Jericho would not be around later for Rollins to work with. For some reason, though, management opted to go with Roman Reigns instead. September 25, 2014 Reports surfaced over the last couple of days that Chris Jericho was going to be working his last show for WWE at Night of Champions [[phy_address]] Randy Orton. There is now speculation that the former world heavyweight champion might stick around shortly after that before leaving, similar to what Rob Van Dam did before taking his break from WWE recently. September 17, 2014 If you're a big fan of Chris Jericho, then definitely check out Night of Champions 2014, as that will be the last time that we see him in WWE for quite some time. The former undisputed heavyweight champion will be working a match against Randy Orton. He finishes up with the company shortly afterwards. Jericho has a tour with Fozzy coming soon, and he will be traveling around to promote his new book. September 15, 2014 When he was feuding with John Cena, Bray Wyatt appeared to be a lock to remain in the WWE main event scene for quite some time. When that feud ended, he was able to maintain some momentum when Chris Jericho made his return to the company and feuded with Wyatt. Since there is a lack of top level talent in WWE, there are now talks that management could have Wyatt feuding with Dolph Ziggler over the Intercontinental Championship, even though it seems out of the norm for his character to chase a secondary belt. September 10, 2014 During a podcast interview with Chris Jericho, Batista revealed that he has some lingering backstage heat towards Vince McMahon over an incident that happened a couple of years ago. The former world heavyweight champion was fined $100,000 by WWE because he purposely cut himself during a match to draw blood. Batista felt that the amount was unfairly high, and he noted that was the day when he knew that things would never be the same with WWE. September 8, 2014 Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Rumors have persisted for quite some time now that there is still backstage heat towards Jim Ross in WWE. There is some new evidence to support that claim. Ross recently revealed that the company has not approved any of their performers to be a guest on his podcast show, where Steve Austin and Chris Jericho have had plenty of WWE personnel, including Triple H himself, doing interviews for them. September 1, 2014 WWE decisions are sometimes garbage, according to Batista. During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, the former world heavyweight champion stated that he was disgusted by how the creative department utilized Daniel Bryan after he was put over at Wrestlemania 30. Batista felt that Bryan should have been allowed to sell the injuries from the previous night because it would have added to his lovable underdog character. August 31, 2014 We have ourselves another sign that Batista might be putting WWE in his rear view mirror. During a podcast interview with Chris Jericho, the former world heavyweight champion openly bashed the method in which the company handled his return. Batista stated that he wished management would have given him the spotlight alone during his first night back. He also stated that WWE made a mistake by bringing him in as a baby face. August 29, 2014 WWE has announced a big rematch between John Cena and Bray Wyatt for Monday Night Raw tonight. No word yet on why the match is taking place, as the two of them are not currently feuding with one another. Wyatt is still feuding with Chris Jericho, while Cena is in a program with Brock Lesnar, who once again will not be making a television appearance this week despite being the WWE champion. August 25, 2014 When Bray Wyatt was closing out his feud with John Cena, many wondered who WWE was going to pair him up with next. Fortunately for the company, Chris Jericho agreed to return and help keep Wyatt interesting. Their feud is about to end, so the question has popped up again. As of right now, it looks like WWE is leaning towards putting Wyatt together with Sheamus in a program. August 22, 2014 It looks like the feud between Chris Jericho and Bray Wyatt will be continuing for another month. As of right now, WWE has the two of them penciled in for some sort of gimmick match at Night of Champions 2014. Each man has a victory on pay per view against the other, but the belief is that Jericho will be putting Wyatt over before taking off to focus on his music again. August 19, 2014 "No, I've been there and done it against Chris Jericho and I proved a point, so there's no sense in jeopardizing that. Everyone who saw me work that match said I did good for my age. They have a good memory of that and I'd like to leave it at that. I do know some of the older guys who have come back and tried to work in the ring and it's just heartbreaking to see. I don't want to risk all that because the fans still have a pretty good image of me and my last time in the ring." - Ricky Steamboat talking about a potential return to WWE August 5, 2014 Rumors are floating around right now that Chris Jericho is done with WWE after he finishes up his feud with Bray Wyatt. The return was designed to be a short term thing, as the former undisputed champion still has other business ventures that he wants to focus on. There are talks that Jericho could be convinced to stick around in WWE a bit longer if an interesting program can be created for him. July 28, 2014 Chris Jericho and Fozzy performed a concert at the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood last night. He was not the only WWE performer in the building. Miz and his wife Maryse Ouellet, a former diva, were in attendance as guests of Jericho. The concert was just a one time thing, and Jericho is expected to be back on the road with WWE soon. July 25, 2014 As late as Saturday, management had plans in place for Bray Wyatt to beat Chris Jericho at WWE Battleground 2014. However, Vince McMahon called an audible and had Jericho winning the match. No word yet on why McMahon made this decision, but it is being said that a lot of people backstage were against the idea because Wyatt had already started losing momentum with the audience. July 22, 2014 During Monday Night Raw, a segment aired where Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan attacked Chris Jericho in the locker room. That was actually a trick by WWE, as the footage was filmed at the pay per view on Sunday night. Jericho had actually hopped on a flight to Los Angeles on Monday morning, so that he can begin promotional work for the new Fozzy album. July 22, 2014 While wrestling fans online are downplaying the incident, WWE is a bit concerned that fans in attendance at the last episode of Monday Night Raw were bored with Bray Wyatt during his segment with Chris Jericho. The chants came as a bit of a surprise to management, as they felt that Wyatt was one of their more popular performers. There were concerns that he would lose interests from some fans once his program with John Cena ended. July 17, 2014 Prior to becoming a professional wrestler for New Japan and future IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Hiroshi Tanahashi had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. That was his primary sport in high school. August 11, 2014 During the early 1990s, Billy Kidman was trained to become a professional wrestler by former WWE star Afa Anoa'i. July 21, 2014 Yujiro Kushida, who regularly teams up with former TNA star Alex Shelley in New Japan, was mentored by former WWE star Tajiri early on in his career. July 21, 2014 Prior to becoming known worldwide as a legend in professional wrestling, Bruiser Brody was actually a pretty good football player. He was an all state high school player in Michigan. His talents were so good that he caught the attention of a university in Texas. He parlayed his success in college to an NFL career, doing a brief stint with the Washington Redskins. May 1, 2014 While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage. Shortly before he decided to leave WWE, Blanchard ended up failing a drug test because of cocaine, so management had no choice but to fire him. Bobby Heenan had to replace him in the match at Survivor Series 1989. May 1, 2014 While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history. The Puerto Rican star was the first guy to have won the WWE title, world tag team championship and the Intercontinental Championship. Morales even held the WWE and tag team championship, which he won with Bob Backlund, at the same time. April 29, 2014 For a young professional wrestler, being able to work with a big time star could be what helps to spring board your career into the next level. A memorable feud with the legendary Harley Race was how Hercules Hernandez managed to make a name for himself during the territorial days. It was shortly after that feud that he found himself being signed by the NWA. April 28, 2014 Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Scott Norton was a star in the arm wrestling world. The former WCW star won at least thirty championships, including four national titles. He also traveled overseas for competition, including a life changing one in Japan. Norton also had enough recognition to be cast in Over the Top, a Sylvester Stallone movie about arm wrestling. April 28, 2014 While he will forever associated with the famous wrestling last name, Ole Anderson is actually not an Anderson at all. His real name is Alan Rogowski. He simply adopted the Ole Anderson name to connect with the audience who were already familiar with Gene Anderson, his story line brother. Another interesting point of interest is that Ole Anderson is a play on the word oleander, a poisonous plant. April 28, 2014 Back in 2000, the world of professional wrestling was saddened by the death of Masakazu Fukuda. While working a tournament match, Fukuda was hit by a flying elbow drop from Katsuyori Shibata. The blow proved to be fatal, as Fukuda had to be taken to the hospital, where he died a couple of days later. New Japan finished the tournament and dedicated the event in his honor. April 28, 2014 Prior to becoming a star in WCW, Sid Vicious managed to pull off a pretty amazing feat while working for New Japan. Even though he was an unknown, Vicious was able to convince the promoters in Japan to give him a shot at the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He lost, of course, but was able to gain some recognition in the late 1980s by being in the match. April 27, 2014 For as long as she has been on television, Stephanie McMahon has been a topic of interest for professional wrestling fans. Many WWE fans are quite enamored with her, so it comes as no surprise that her bra size is routinely discussed. During an interview once, Stephanie revealed that she received breast implants and now has a bra size of D cup. April 24, 2014 Since she has been around WWE for a very long time, wrestling fans have been wondering how old Stephanie McMahon is. She was born on September 24, 1976, which makes her 37 right now. Due to her age and the fact that the kids are getting a little older, Stephanie recently decided to scale back on her responsibilities within WWE. She is no longer in charge of the creative department. April 22, 2014 The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star. In actuality, though, Storm has a pretty good personality and a sense of humor backstage. WWE went with the gimmick in order to try to something to see if it would give him momentum. April 13, 2014 Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family. The local police did not want to arrest him, so they heavily suggested that he leave town to avoid any further complications. The future WWE star opted to flee to the state of Florida, where he made money by picking fruit. April 11, 2014 In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role. However, Ventura had blood clots in his lungs, which was due to his stint in the Vietnam War, and was forced to retire as an in ring performer. WWE moved Heenan on to other wrestlers. April 10, 2014 In one of the more interesting connections in professional wrestling, when Wahoo McDaniel was a teenager in Texas, he was coached in baseball by George Bush, who would go on to become the 41st President of the United States. April 9, 2014 Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory. April 4, 2014 Back during the 1980s, one of the most talked about segment in professional wrestling was when Uncle Elmer got married on national television. It was an actual wedding, as the performer was really wanting to marry his longtime girlfriend. When he approached Vince McMahon about it, the promoter loved the idea and decided to make it a draw for WWE. April 4, 2014 One of the biggest mysteries in professional wrestling involves Dennis Condrey and his decision to walk away from the Midnight Express. When asked about the situation, Bobby Eaton said that his former tag team partner basically left without saying a word to him for two years. Condrey reportedly did not inform Jim Cornette or the NWA, either.

Come November 2 and one would witness a group of youngsters organizing a non-violent protest, 'Kiss of Love' in Kerala to protest against moral policing and express freedom of love as well. The campaign was initiated in the wake of an attack on a coffee shop by BJP's youth wing activists. We all are aware about the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' initiative by India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, which is to keep the nation clean. This campaign aims to accomplish the vision of 'clean India'. Maharashtra State Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Devendra Fadnavis has been elected as the new chief minister of Maharashtra yesterday. Fadnavis' name was decided by the new BJP MLAs in a meeting at Vidhan Bhavan in the presence of Union Home minister Rajnath Singh and party's national general secretary J P Nadda. SRK's Happy New Year may have crossed the 100 crore mark at the box office but the Twitterattis are clearly not happy with the movie. They have been left unimpressed a number of users took it to the micro-blogging site to express their disappointment by some sarcastic and funny tweets about the film under the tag '#HNYBestFilmEver'.
I'm heading through Halifax on my way back to Montreal, and I need to find some wild (not farmed) Atlantic smoked salmon. I arrive in Montreal at 3, and have a foie gras & sauternes party at 5, so I definitely need to get something on my way home! Can anyone point me to a store in the Halifax/Sackville/Airport area that sells wild Atlantic smoked salmon? Alternatively, something like smoked char would work. Thanks! - Pete's Frootique in Sunnyside mall, Bedford would be your best bet. I'd call ahead and see if they have any.... - I think Clearwater still has a store at the airport and they should have smoked salmon. Having said that, I don't know any place around here that offers wild Atlantic salmon of any sort. I could be wrong, but unlike wild Pacific salmon which is often available, I cant recall the last time I saw wild Atlantic salmon. - re: Greg B That was my fear. It's just impossible to find unless you have a family member that fishes and smokes their own like I did growing up. Bah. Maybe oysters would be a better option. I'll poke around when I get there. Thanks! - - - Guys I'm in the business and there is NO wild smoekd salmon to be had unless you have a native Canadian as a friend. There is no commercial fishery on the east coast for wild salmon. Your best bet is to get some wild coho or king salmon from the West Coast if you want wild. That said, Willy Krauch Smoked salmon is wonderful, if a little on the full flavored side. But its from farmed salmon - re: mhowellgtc I was spoiled growing up in Labrador, I tell you. Ah well, it was a moot point in the end - my flght got snowed in and I had to leave from Moncton instead. Thanks anyway! - - You wont find any "Wild Smoked Atlantic Salmon" its an oxy moron! Most wild salmon is catch and release and its not the season right now for wild salmon. Here in New Brunswick you can get some great smoked salmon from Wolfhead Smokers and Ovenhead Smokers. Check'm out! - As someone who has been following the fight on the west coast to save the wild salmon there I was afraid that what I am hearing in this forum was what I would find when I move back to Atlantic Canada. It's a crying shame because there is a world of difference between wild and farmed. I love fresh wild salmon but prefer to eat the frozen wild or order the gravalax/lox made from wild salmon rather than eat farmed salmon, no matter how fresh it is. Yuck! Sorry, but it is the same as eating chicken produced on a factory farm. I'm sure there must be a source for wild gravalax somewhere online so I better start looking for it now. If I find a source I'll post it here. - re: Pat50 Am I the only one who likes farmed salmon? Call me crazy, but I have always preferred Atlantic salmon to pacific salmon. I can't be sure if the difference is farmed vs. wild, or difference of species, as I have never had wild Atlantic salmon. But I find pacific salmon more meaty and less tender and flavourful. Faroe Island salmon is supposed to be good quality farmed salmon, but it is not local. - re: existential_crisis I hear ya. I recently tried, for the second time, some PRICEY non-farmed salmon from Pete's. I said nothing to my family, and just like the first time, they all complained that it was bland, watery, and just not very "salmony". I still prefer the cheapo salmon from Costco to the more expensive stuff. - re: CanadaGirl I'm really curious about this "bland, watery and just not very 'salmony'" tasting non-farmed salmon; just to see it, and taste it to find out what it is and where it comes from and how it got like this. The wild salmon I eat is darkly coloured, rich and meaty tasting (by that I mean firm, compact and very strongly salmon flavoured). I am so curious to know what you bought and why it tasted so awful. (On the other hand, I could just wish such an abomination would simply disappear.) But I still wouldn't eat farmed salmon as a substitute. To me, farmed salmon is just plain nasty. I'd just have to give up eating salmon at all. Hey, if we all live another 50 years - which I definitely won't - we wouldn't have to worry about this anyway; all the shellfish will die off as the seas get more acid and probably a lot of the fish will die off too as the waters heat up.
We need not worry about the future, we need not be prophetic about the future, we need not say a single thing about the future. We should be joyous and happy in this moment, and the next moment will be coming out of this moment. It will be suffused with the celebration of this moment, and naturally it will lead you into a higher celebration. The future is going to come out of this present. There are two kinds of people: one who goes on thinking about the future, not bothering about the present at all. That future is not going to come, that future is just a fool’s imagination. I don’t think about the future. I am a totally different kind of person. I don’t think about the future at all, it is irrelevant. My whole effort is how to beautify this present moment, how to make people more celebrating, how to make people more joyous, how to give them a little glimpse of blissfulness, how to bring laughter to their life. Then the future takes care of itself. You need not think of the morrow, it comes. It comes out of this moment. Let this moment be of great celebration. The last question: Osho,When two women or two men are making love to each other does it do any harm to their energies? Love is always preferable to lovelessness - that is the first thing to be remembered. Love in any kind and any form is more preferable than lovelessness. That is a basic assumption with me. But there are three planes of love. They have to be understood. The first is auto, the second is homo, the third is hetero. One can be very narcissistic; narcissism is masturbatory. It has many dimensions to it. That is the first kind of love, the most primitive. Every child passes through that state of being narcissistic - he loves only himself, he is his own world. It is good as far as it goes. One has to love oneself; that should be the foundation. If you don’t love yourself you cannot love anybody else. If you can’t even love yourself, how can you love anybody else? So the foundation is auto-erotic. Each child has to love himself, and parents down the centuries have been preventing it. That’s wrong. Children should be allowed to have fun; nothing is wrong in it. In fact, they are learning the first basic lesson of love - and they can love only themselves. Their consciousness is not so developed that they can bridge with anybody else. They have a small circle of energy; it moves within themselves.
Economics: It seems the official position of Pope Francis is that the free market is a wicked enemy that must be restrained. With all due respect, he's mistaken. The free market has been a heavenly blessing. Two days before our American Thanksgiving, the Argentinian pontiff, in his first apostolic exhortation, called the free market a "new tyranny." "Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world," he wrote in the Vatican report. Claims of free-market success, he said, have "never been confirmed by the facts." He went on to condemn "a financial system which rules rather than serves." Actually, no economic system has brought more prosperity to more people than free-market capitalism. Neither socialism nor communism has increased prosperity, and are themselves ruled by tyrants. Both have certainly brought more equality, which Francis believes is important. But it's an equality of misery. We wonder if the pope prefers a dictatorship or oligarchy to the free market. If so, who will run it? Most people, we think Francis will agree, have their hands full taking care of their own lives and families. Where would we find someone capable of also ruling others? Surely Francis knows the Old Testament story of the prophet Samuel, who warned the Jews that a king they wanted would take their sons and daughters, the best of their vineyards and olive groves, their cattle, their donkeys, their flocks, and a tenth of their grain. "And you yourselves," said Samuel, "will become his slaves." Before Francis ventured into such territory, he should have first consulted Milton Friedman, who offered this famous gem: "In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you're talking about, the only cases in recorded history are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade." As for those who prefer data, we offer this: From 1999 to 2012, the developing world's economy grew 163%, pulling literally hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, by moving toward free markets. The inescapable fact is that the free market is consistent with Christianity. It does not rely on coercion, which is needed to eliminate inequality. It's based on peaceful, voluntary cooperation and fueled by a biblical work ethic. All God's children are welcome to take part, free to make their own decisions, free to better their lives and take care of their families, free of the force of masters who'd make them slaves. No, the free market isn't Christianity's enemy. It is, rather, a useful — and moral — ally.

My guess is that something containing sugar found its way into the concrete, either at the ready-mix plant or on the job. It's anyone's guess how it got there, but there is a strong likelihood that it happened on the jobsite. We've heard stories about finishers who accidentally spilled coffee (with sugar in it) or soda pop (regular, not diet), fruit juice, or even a piece of a candy bar onto the concrete surface while they were finishing. It only takes that much sugar to retard a small amount of concrete for a long time. There may be other explanations for this, such as an embedded clump of fly ash that temporarily delayed the set. But from the photo and your description, it sounds sugar-related. The dark area around the center hole indicates gross retardation. The larger white area probably resulted from efflorescence caused by the continuous bleed of calcium hydroxide to the surface.

Titanfall has fended off Dark Souls 2 to become the new UK no.1 and the fastest-selling title of 2014 so far. Sales of Respawn’s shooter have also led to a 96 per cent jump in Xbox One hardware sales, with the Titanfall Xbox One bundle accounting for 70 per cent of all Xbox One hardware sold last week. Dark Souls 2 has to settle for second place, although its week one sales were up 20 per cent over predecessor Dark Souls. Watch Dogs’ main story will take you about 35-40 hours to complete, the game’s creative director Jonathan Morin said on Twitter. “I would say the average player which does free roam a bit tend to reach the end within 35-40h. But doing everything is close 100h,” he said. “And these don’t really consider online stuff in the mix…” I hope you’ve not been naughty when playing Call of Duty: Ghosts. If you’ve been cheating in the game, you may find yourself on the wrong end of the banhammer. Hell, you don’t even have to have been the naughty one yourself; users are reporting that merely being in a hacked lobby is enough to warrant a permanent ban. That’s unfortunate for people who’ve obliviously stumbled in to hacked lobbies, none the wiser. If Activision had taken the same stance back with Modern Warfare 1 and 2, there;’s be nobody left to play the game.

I think it is a song about telling yourself that no matter what happens or how many times life knocks you down that you are strong enough to get back up and keep fighting. That no one can stop you from doing what you want. The song expresses the fear that Alice faces in wonderland. She tries to get out of that place and she becomes involved in events that will change something in her. She hopes to survive and won’t cry or break down. In this case I feel it relates to the fear that Katniss faces in the Hunger Games. Her love for Prim is so strong that she is willing to sacrifice herself for her sister, something that not many others in the district would do for their family members. Through flashback, Katniss reveals how she grew up as a survivor after her father’s death and her mother’s descent into depression. This flashback illustrates Katniss’ strength and will to survive. (Source: lecresta) Never Knew I Needed 'For the way you changed my plans. For being the perfect distraction. For the way you took the idea that I have. Of everything that I wanted to have. And made me see there was something missing' This song is pretty much about two people who feel like they know want they want and know want they need in life and realize through meeting each other that they know don’t want they need. That they have no idea and the realization becomes what they need is love. And they find that with each other. During the cave scene, Peeta and Katniss really kiss for the first time and Peeta tells Katniss the story of her singing on the first day of school. But it’s this kiss, the one where Katniss finally realizes how much she really needs Peeta. One interesting aspect of Peeta and Katniss’ relationship is the evolution. Katniss loves Peeta. Her love, however, develops slowly and painfully. The two start off as virtual strangers, then they enter into an uneasy friendship that finally progresses into love. Arms 'How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around? I can’t decide if I’ll let you save my life or if I’ll drown’ Arms is about the fight between your heart and your mind. It is about the struggle and finally giving in when you’re wrapped in their arms. Then you get it; you feel loved and love wins. In this case Katniss’s mind speaks for Gale, but her heart is shouting for Peeta. The question is should she listen to her heart or just follow her mind. Katniss is in a battle with her emotions and the love she has for him. Slowly, Katniss is falling for Peeta. She feels a stirring inside her chest when they kiss, a kiss that leaves her curious and wanting more; in Peeta’s arms, she feels safe and secure; and then, during his descriptions of her as a child, she wonders if none of his feelings were made up at all, if, in fact, Peeta really does love her, which means that she will have to sort out her true emotions after all, something that Katniss has been avoiding throughout the entire novel. She can’t see a reason why Peeta would love her but she secretly hopes he sees through her walls and stupid behavior. She does not like to approach her feelings because she believes they make her look weak. She finds comforts in his arms, but doesn’t want to depend on him or anyone else in her life. Long Live 'When they gave us our trophies and we held them up for our town. The cynics were outraged. Screaming, “this is absurd” Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world' This song to me is about all your dreams coming true, and looking back and remembering how it felt and what the journey was to get there. When ” the crowds and stands went wild” is like when Pita and Katniss are first presented and are basically on fire and everyone loved them. "It was the end of a decade but the start of an age" is like when they won, they began something that meant nothing would be the same again. "We are the kings and the queens, you traded your baseball cap for a crown and they gave us our trophies and we held them up for our town" is them winning and being rewarded and their whole District being rewarded.
Lindsay Lohan involved in fight at W hotel, but no one will be charged What would a weekend be without a little Lindsay Lohan drama? The endlessly troubled LiLo got in a mini bout at the W hotel with a 25-year-old man she met at celeb hangout 1 Oak and brought to her hotel room. Lohan snatched his iPhone from him when she found he was covertly taking photos and videos of her, according to published reports. Police declined to confirm reports that Chris Labella, of Los Angeles, tried to choke Lohan and threw her on the bed after she took his phone. Published reports also said Lohan, 26, had cuts on her hands. Her rep confirmed the fight and said Lohan wasn't hospitalized, but declined to elaborate. Labella was arrested and initially charged with assault and harassment, but police dropped the charges after they couldn't substantiate them, an NYPD spokesman said.He was released from custody late yesterday afternoon. Still, Labella and Lohan both filed harassment complaints against each other, but neither will be arrested or charged, and neither will have any court dates. This is the second run-in with the law in just over two weeks for Lohan. She was charged with a misdemeanor after leaving the scene of an accident after allegedly clipping a Manhattan cook with her Porsche near the Dream Hotel in Chelsea.
My family is headed out of town soon. This means that I am on a mission to use up anything that could possibly go bad while we’re gone. I had some pre-cooked spaghetti leftover from dinner a few nights before, and a few strips of bacon that hadn’t been used for Denver Hash (I’ll post that one later), and immediately thought of Carbonara. Since I didn’t feel like using the eggs to make the sauce, this is the “fake it” version that I came up with. Pasta Carbonar(ish) Prep time - 5 minutes Cooking time - 15 minutes - 8 oz pre-cooked pasta (I prefer spaghetti, but any pasta will do) - 2-3 strips of bacon - 1 cup chopped mushrooms - 2 cups frozen peas - 1 cup chopped tomato Fry up the bacon in a skillet. Remove the bacon once it’s crispy. Saute the mushrooms in the bacon grease. Add the peas and tomatoes and continue to cook, stirring often. Chop up the bacon and add to the vegetables. Add the pasta and continue to stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and warmed through. Serve immediately. You might want to add different veggies, or serve with grated parmesan. This is what I had to hand. It was quick, simple, and because one of the ingredients was bacon, it was delicious!

Friday, 12 October 2012 00:00 I read your headline front page of the Hicksville Illustrated and thought I would add some other perspective. My wife and I moved to Hicksville August 1972 with two young children from Ridgewood, Queens living in a six-room flat on the third floor for $69 a month. We chose to move to Long Island because we wanted our children to have a better start than we had emigrating from Europe. We had our youngest daughter in 1978 and all three are married with children of their own. I started to track real estate taxes since 2001 and let me tell you that my school taxes alone went up by 51 percent. We are paying these taxes not having any children in the Hicksville School District for at least 18 years. My wife and I are both on Social Security and our income is low. So for the sake of those folks (parents Chris Connors, Janet O’Connell or others) that are dismayed at the class size of first grade, let them take their kids to private school. Our community is populated with seniors and school-aged children are not abundant. Long Island is expensive and seniors are moving away for more reasonable living. Hopefully when this population, leaves and/or dies off, you can have your smaller class sizes but at a price. Take a look at jobs. Take a look at home sales and prices. Take a look at foreclosures. We are not living in an entitlement environment in Hicksville. You want it, pay for it! Peter G. Kraeker Hicksville resident Saturday, 18 October 2014 00:00 A group of like-minded local residents banded together and saved more than 200 area trees from the chopping block — for now. A state judge ordered Nassau County and the Department of Public Works to stop cutting down trees along South Oyster Bay Road, granting a temporary restraining order to a group of residents spearheading an effort to save the trees. State Supreme Court Judge Antonio Brandveen scheduled a hearing on Thursday, Oct. 16 for the county to address complaints from residents, in particular a group called Operation STOMP (Save Trees Over More Pavement) founded by Hicksville native Tanya Lukasik.The Public Works department had planned to removed more than 200 30-foot trees in communities ranging from Plainview, Bethpage, Hicksville and Syosset. Friday, 17 October 2014 00:00 For the past 16 years, Lucia Simon has walked from her home in Hicksville to her job at the Hicksville Public Library. She enjoys her job as a librarian and says that the staff has become like family to her. But for the past three years, Simon and 56 fellow co-workers have been frustrated at what she says is the library’s board refusal to negotiate a fair contract. “We have had no contract in three years. They refuse to bargain with us. Every time they come back to us it’s not fair,” says Simon. However, the board of trustees disagree, saying that it has made a “fair offer.” Thursday, 16 October 2014 08:31 The Girls Varsity soccer team, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, wore pink uniforms and pink socks in their game on Oct. [[phy_address]] MacArthur whom they defeated 1-0. The girls and boys soccer programs at Hicksville High School are selling pink ribbon car magnets with a soccer ball and HHS on it with the words “Kick Cancer” on the ribbon. All the money raised will go to the Sarah Grace Foundation, which is a local foundation trying to beat pediatric cancer. The players plan to raise $1,000 for this organization — From Hicksville High School Thursday, 09 October 2014 08:47 The Mets minor league system is enjoying a rare period of prosperity. For years, it was barren due to trading off high-ceiling players for major leaguers, or neglecting the draft in favor of the free agent market. Since General Manager Sandy Alderson took over, the organization has reversed course and put a much greater emphasis on player development. During his second-to-last season, however, former GM Omar Minaya took a chance and drafted a local catcher, Cam Maron, out of Hicksville High School in the 34th round.
