April 23, 2009 Reported By: Anne Ravana The University of Maine and Maine Audobon Society are teaming up with residents of 13 towns around the state to map and monitor vernal pools. The teams hope their efforts will help towns and landowners plan future development while following state Department of Environmental Protection guidelines protecting vernal pools. On a recent rainy weeknight, about 25 volunteers are gathered around what looks like a large puddle beside a dirt road in Orono. It's actually a vernal pool. The group listens intently as University of Maine graduate student Dawn Morgan explains how to identify spotted salamander eggs. "Ok, so this is a blue spotted salamander egg mass. You can see that it's very clear, very drippy. The only way to locate these is to walk through the pool gently, carefully and pick up sticks and pieces of vegetation that are near the water surface." Morgan is teaching the volunteers how to differentiate between salamander eggs and wood frog eggs. In the coming months, the volunteers will visit other local pools on their own. Looking on is 47-year-old volunteer Molly MacLean of Orono, who says she's eager to do the fieldwork. "I love amphibians. I love being outside. And I'm also concerned that it's important to get a handle on what we have before we develop more and lose more habitat." Anne Ravana: "How many pools have you taken on?" Molly MacLean: "I actually have taken on a pretty impressive load. I believe I have chosen seven pools." The Municipal Vernal Pool Mapping Project is taking place around the state, from Scarborough to Orono. Vernal pools are the only wetlands in Maine defined primarily by what breeds in them rather than by their vegetation. They're shallow depressions that fill with snowmelt and runoff in the spring. And while they are not home to permanent fish populations, they do provide essential breeding grounds for wood frogs and salamanders. They're also feeding and resting habitats for deer, moose, bear, and other mammals, birds, and reptiles. Aram Calhoun, professor in the wildlife ecology department at UMaine and wetlands scientist for Maine Audobon, is coordinating the project. "This project is at this time a 13-town project to proactively map and assess vernal pools on a town-wide scale and it was sort of inititated in response to the Significant Vernal Pool legislation and the need for towns to want to know what sort of resources they have so they can have a transparent process for communicating with landowners." In September 2007, The Maine Department of Environmental Protection began to regulate so-called "significant" vernal pools in Maine. Vernal pools are deemed "significant" if they contain a certain number of amphibian egg masses. Right now, there's no state list of significant vernal pools, so the project is a free opportunity for residents to find out whether they have one on their property. Any development or fill activities within 250 feet of a significant vernal pool now requires a permit from the DEP. Calhoun has been traveling around the state to help interested towns hold meetings to present the project to residents. "The majority of these resources occur on private lands, so they're the most vulnerable. So that things like state regulation or federal regulations aren't going to conserve pool breeding habitat. It's got to happen at the local level and it has to be something that the ctizens think is valuable and contributes to their quality of place." Back in the field, volunteer coordinator Chris Dorion, a geologist from Orono, says he likes the challenge of identifying vernal pools. "Is it a pool? Is it a puddle? Was it an old ditch? Is it a gravel pit? They'll ask me to come out and have a visit and look at the resource and help make the determination." But Dorion says he's even more excited about witnessing the lifecycle of the amphibians that are born inside the vernal pools. Wood frogs live up to five years and spotted salamanders live up to 20 years. "The most amazing thing to me is that the amphibians come back to the same pool every single year. And some of them range 250 feet, 500 feet, some of them actually go a mile away. On a night like tonight with a big south wind and a big warm rain, this is the big night when they really all come back en masse to their pools. It's the most amazing thing."

Aston Martin DB1Weirdly, the first of David Brown’s Aston Martins didn’t actually wear the DB moniker from the start. Known as the Aston Martin Two-Liter Sports during its launch at the 1948 London Motor Show, it was only with the arrival of the DB2, two years later, that this new chapter in the book of roadsters retrospectively assumed the DB1 label. Although there is no parallel to be drawn from the modest 90 bhp output and the meager four-cylinder push rod engine under the hood, you can still make out, only just, the makings of the trademark Aston-shaped grille -- albeit formed by three separate parts. With only [[phy_address]] exclusive convertibles ever made (plus one spare chassis), the DB1 remains to this day one of the most sought-after Astons of all time.
Creating a NAS Box Using OpenFiler \| Linux Magazine OpenFiler is a NAS distribution that is created using rPath and is licensed under GPLv2 by Xinit Systems. While an open-source project, Xinit provides fee-based support as well as specialized versions and an administrators manual which you have to purchase. OpenFiler started as a simple NFS distribution with simple administrative tools but it has grown to become much more than that. Currently it supports the following network protocols: - NFS (currently NFSv3) - SMB/CIFS - HTTP/WebDAV - FTP - iSCSI (both initiator and target). Need to get hardware together to setup one of these for home.
First impression on unpacking the Q[[phy_address]] unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling. Dell is teaming up with Red Hat to drive its effort to be a force in the burgeoning area of network function virtualization (NFV) technology, aimed at helping carriers reduce costs and quickly roll out new services. Co-engineered Dell-Red Hat OpenStack-based NFV and SDN (software defined networking) applications are expected to be available in 2014, Dell said. Traditionally, network functions were run on proprietary equipment. Offering new services meant testing and deploying new specialized appliances, an expensive and slow process, said Gartner analyst Akshay Sharma. Major carriers are interested in NFV because its gives them a standards-based approach to virtualizing telecom applications, allowing them to run on industry standard servers, he said. Dell already has a history of working with Red Hat. In December, for example, it said it would start selling systems this year that run Red Hat's version of the OpenStack open-source cloud platform. The offerings are to be tailored for large enterprises that wish to set up private clouds. The company said it is building on that agreement to include NFV and SDN applications designed to help operators increase infrastructure agility and reduce costs. Dell has also been working since last year with a number of partners, including Overture Networks and EnterpriseWeb, in the CloudNFV project, and is set to raise its profile in the group. "Dell is officially taking over the leadership of the CloudNFV organization," said Franklin Flint, global enterprise technology evangelist, Dell OEM Solutions. Wenjing Chu of Dell Research will head the project, Flint said. Dell said it would detail its NFV plans and its cooperation with Red Hat at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week. NFV will be a hot topic in Barcelona, where a number of equipment makers and software companies are expected to make announcements centered on the technology. Alcatel-Lucent on Wednesday already announced its own plans to work with Red Hat on NFV. Alcatel-Lucent is using Red Hat's Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform to power the CloudBand platform. Hewlett-Packard is also expected to detail plans for a new NFV business. Tech news site Re/code reported earlier this week that Bethany Mayer, head of HP's networking equipment business unit, will head a new NFV business. "Dell is very strong in the data center but it is not as well know in the telco world," Sharma said. Building a partner ecosystem, as it is doing with CloudNFV, is therefore a good approach for Dell, he noted. STYLISTIC Q702 First impression on unpacking the Q[[phy_address]] unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling. STYLISTIC Q572 For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents. LIFEBOOK UH574 The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint. STYLISTIC Q702 The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located. STYLISTIC Q702 My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Lead Is Safe How to tell when a college basketball game is out of reach. Also in Slate, Josh Levin runs through the Teams We Hate in this year’s bracket, and Chris Wilson explains a system that will help you win your NCAA pool. Take the number of points one team is ahead. Subtract three. Add a half-point if the team that is ahead has the ball, and subtract a half-point if the other team has the ball. (Numbers less than zero become zero.) Square that. If the result is greater than the number of seconds left in the game, the lead is safe. (If you don't have a calculator handy, use the tool below to do the calculations for you.) If you've got a 10-point lead and the ball with 10 minutes left, is that a safe lead? Of course not; teams come back from a 10-point deficit all the time. A 10-point lead, plus the ball, gives you a 7.5-point safety margin. It's safe for 56.25 seconds—56, rounded down. With 600 seconds to play, a 10-point lead (with the ball) is 9 percent safe. That doesn't mean a team with a 10-point lead and the ball with 10 minutes to go has only a 9 percent chance of winning. Rather, it means they're 9 percent of the way to having a completely insurmountable advantage. An 11-point lead with nine minutes to play—we'll let you keep the ball. That's an 8.5-point safety margin with 540 seconds to play; it's 13 percent safe (72.25 divided by 540). A 12-point lead with eight minutes to play ... that's a 9.5 point margin. It's 19 percent safe (90.25 divided by 480). A 13-point lead with seven minutes to play ... 26 percent safe. A 16-point lead with four minutes to play ... 76 percent safe, assuming the team with the lead also has the ball. It's really unusual for a team to come from 16 back with four to play and win, but it does happen. I would guess it happens twice a year somewhere in the world of college basketball. A 17-point lead with three minutes to play ... bingo. That's a safe lead. Seventeen points with three minutes to play is a safe lead whether you have the ball or not, actually; a 17-point lead with the ball is safe at 3:30; a 17-point lead without the ball is safe at 3:02.
The spectacle of a puffed, golden soufflé conveyed with care and pride from oven to table to be admired with “Oohs!” and “Aahs!”, as if the cook had produced, by some mysterious act of alchemy, a flight of snow-white doves, or Old King Coles’ pie baked with ‘five and twenty singing blackbirds’, is a triumph every good cook should experience. If you can beat an egg white, you can make a soufflé. Confidence, and proper technique is all that you need for this virtually no-fail undertaking, which is a short-cut to the usual method of first having to cook a time-consuming béchamel base into which is folded the stiff egg whites and sundry other fillings. Instead, one takes a detour past the béchamel, using instead a base of sour cream and flour. Brilliant! A method which, if you opt for a cheese soufflé, requires only one cooking method: baking. This elegant dish can be served as a main course for lunch, side dish for dinner or reheated for breakfast, as my husband often eats it. Whichever way you make or serve it, you are sure to gain accolades, satisfaction and a new appreciation of the humble egg. Bon Appetit! Simple Souffle Serves 4-6 Level of difficulty: easy Base Ingredients: 1 cup shredded cheese, such as Cheddar, Swiss, Emmenthal, Gouda (try some of the smoked varieties) or if making only a cheese soufflé, use 2 cups cheese and 2 tbsp. chopped chives 1 cup (1 250 ml. tub) of regular sour cream (not low fat) ¼ cup and 1tbsp. flour 4 large eggs, separated 1 tsp. salt ½ tsp. each of: cayenne, dry mustard 1 tbsp. unsalted butter ½ cup of breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese Optional Fillings: (choose one of the following) 1 ¼ cups of cooked, minced: broccoli cauliflower spinach ( squeezed dry) carrots squash Method: Preheat oven to 350. Butter and coat with crumbs or parmesan, a 1.6 litre soufflé dish. In a large bowl, whisk sour cream and flour together until mixture is the consistency of stiff icing (add a little more flour if needed). Add egg yolks one at a time, whisking after each addition, stir in seasonings, 1 cup cheese and desired filling. In a medium bowl, beat egg-whites until soft peaks form. With a spatula, gently fold egg-whites into sour cream mixture. Pour batter into the prepared soufflé dish and bake on the centre rack for approx. 1 ¼ hours until the soufflé has risen 2 inches above the rim, is golden and slightly firm in the centre. Serve immediately, the soufflé will fall slightly. This recipe is contributed by Loretta White, a food columnist based-in Chester, Nova Scotia.

Herculez Gomez leaves U.S. Gold Cup squad, who will replace him? Jul 17, 2013, 1:53 PM EDT This tweet from Herculez Gomez doesn’t need someone possessing the detective nous of Sherlock Holmes to work it out. The USMNT striker is heading home. After playing in two of the U.S. national teams three Gold Cup group games, it seems as though Herc is making way for some of Jurgen Klinsmann’s additions. Gomez had this to say: “8 straight… add that to the list. I know the boys will handle business. Miss you guys already.” With the Club Tijuana forward heading back to link up with club side before their Liga MX open against Atlas on Friday, who will replace him in Klinsmann’s roster? There are plenty of attacking options Klinsi has to call on from Major League Soccer as the knockout stages of the Gold Cup begin. Gomez’ replacement should come from the original 35-man roster announced way back when. 8 straight… add that to the list. I know the boys will handle business. Miss you guys already. ✌#SDbound #DownButNotOut #USMNT— herculez gomez (@herculezg) July 17, 2013 Klinsmann has already stated there will be a few new faces for the USA in the upcoming games. I think we can bet on a few USMNT regulars getting the call up. In attack Graham Zusi could replace Gomez and other options that Klinsmann could bring in Houston Dynamo man Brad Davis to join his teammates Will Bruin. Those are the most likely replacements for Gomez. But what about Eddie Johnson? Defensively, expect to see Sporting KC’s Matt Besler pop up and maybe Omar Gonzalez? That would be my guess. So will Klinsi gain much from calling these guys up, even though they’ve been away from the squad for the entire Gold Cup campaign so far? Um, yes. (MORE: Graham Zusi for the Gold Cup roster anyone?) Not only will these players who’ve elevated themselves to starters with the national team provide more quality and make the USA stronger, they also show these World Cup hopefuls that it can be done. 12 months ago guys like Zusi, Besler and Gonzalez weren’t close to being regulars for the U.S. But now their ticket to Brazil is snugly tucked into their back pocket. Added quality and extra motivation for the wannabes, adding players to replace the likes of Gomez was a no-brainer from Klinsmann. And we will find out who the US has added to their squad by the end of day on Wednesday.

Students must read an article about dollar coins and underline the closing argument. They will also find the purpose and supporting facts of the story. Next they will outline their own speech, prior to writing a full paragraph with a strong closing argument. Here is an ambitious lesson which has learners take a look at which nations came up with the most important scientific inventions/advancements during the 20th century. Focusing on group work, cloning is explored. All of the worksheets necessary for implementing the lesson are here, along with quizzes and activities which are clearly explained. In this inventions and cloning worksheet, students answer multiple choice questions, rate the most important discoveries, answer short answer questions, and more. Students complete 8 activities total. Twelfth graders review facts about roles of Asia and Japan in World War II, read When My Name Was Keoko to familiarize themselves with daily life and historic events during World War II in Korea, and participate in student-led discussions on various themes following each chapter read. The postwar Jewish migration to Israel, the difficulties achieving peace in the Middle East, and the role the Middle East plays in global economics are the questions your clever class can answer. They'll show what they know as they respond to each of these short-answer questions. Learners decode archaeological artifacts in order to recreate an event, using discarded objects as a model for real-life artifacts. They apply this model to reconstructing historical or literary events from artifacts they create.
Santa Monica mayor Richard Bloom had a surprise victory of sorts in his race for the 50th Assembly District. Bloom’s supporters managed to prevent Betsy Butler, the other candidate for the seat, from receiving the endorsement of the West Hollywood-Beverly Hills Democratic Club at its endorsement meeting on Wednesday night. There were 43 voting members present at the meeting: 25 voted to endorse Butler, [[phy_address]] it and 1 abstained. The club’s bylaws state that the candidate must receive 60 percent of the vote of the members present to win the endorsement. With 43 members present, Butler needed 26 votes to win, but only received 25. Therefore she did not receive the endorsement. The club voted to hold another endorsement vote at its Sept. 19 meeting. “I think it was a very positive turn of events,” Bloom told Patch. “We were able to block Betsy Butler’s attempt to get the endorsement, so this is a very positive.” This was the second time Butler failed to get the club’s endorsement. , amid much controversy. However, So the November race is between Butler and Bloom. Stay up to date on West Hollywood news and events, by following @WehoPatch and “like” on Facebook.
PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) -- The historic Rose Bowl is wrapping up renovations, and officials are ready to give the public a first look. They will soon start offering public tours of the stadium. Visitors will be able to walk out onto the field, which the public was not able to do for the past 90 years in the history of the Rose Bowl. But now, because of the behind-the-scenes tour, people will be able to see the view from the field. "This is probably ... the most special part," said Darryl Dunn of the Rose Bowl. "It's almost like a 'bucket list' item. People go and they throw the football, they kick the field goals." The pavilion is a brand new part of the stadium and will be completed in a week. "We've been working on it for two years," Dunn said. "People who go up there can see the behind-the-scenes part of what's in this area."

So, I thought I'd try it again: I've got a Sony KDL-52Z5100 with a dead screen. Sony has warranteed the unit out, the replacement is installed, and they've received the tag I took off the back. So this is mainly for curiosity and tinkering. The issue was gradual: a section of the screen went blocky, then a larger section, and finally the whole thing went dead. Unlike the TH-42PA20, which had a few known problems that a lot of people had worked with, I haven't been able to find much about the KDL-52Z5100 or its innards.

CLEVELAND (AP) The Cleveland Browns have signed center Alex Mack, (FSY) the first-round draft pick from California. AFC PREVIEW: Bills need Owens to notch first playoff since '99 Mack, an All-American from California who also can play guard, was on the practice field just hours after signing with other rookies called in early by new coach Eric Mangini. The 6-foot-4, 311-pound Mack won the Draddy Trophy, which is given to college football's top scholar-athlete, and was a two-time finalist for the Rimington Trophy, given to the nation's top center. Mack worked out briefly at guard at the Senior Bowl but lined up only at center at Browns minicamps, eventually playing center with the first team. For the upcoming season he could replace starter Hank Fraley, (FSY) a nine-year veteran who struggled last season in Cleveland's 31st-ranked offense. As a senior in 2008, Mack didn't allow any sacks or quarterback pressures on 397 pass plays. He was the Pac-10's Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2008 and was a four-time league academic honor roll honoree. The Browns were one of the NFL's biggest disappointment last year. They finished 4-12 after a surprising 10-6 finish the year before. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

When Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav visited the riot affected areas in Muzzafarnagar yesterday, he reportedly promised jobs. Similarly, when someone dies in the service of the nation, their families too are offered jobs by the government. It’s a currency which most grief-stricken people quickly identify with despite their loss. Strangely no head of state ever offers them food. Yet when it comes to deciding on the future of its citizen’s the government feels it’s actually food security, which will solve their problems. Wrong timing of populism: In reality, the food security bill is designed to solve their own problems – that of votes - as the impending general elections draw closer. On the face of it though there is nothing wrong with the policy considering it’s designed to further inclusiveness and make available food to the poorest (200 million plus stay under the poverty line) at a fraction of its cost. It’s actually the timing that is all wrong. The country is going through one of its worst economic crises since 1991 when it had to go through the embarrassment of pawning gold to pay for imports. It’s a shade better now since we have enough forex reserves to pay for around seven months of imports, more specifically fuel. The twin deficits – current account and fiscal deficit – is a huge threat, coupled with lower prospects of growth, high inflation, currency depreciation and finally the threat of a sovereign downgrade. All populist policies like farm loan waiver, NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) and food security schemes, which have their basis in inclusive growth, actually add to higher subsidies and defeats attempts towards fiscal consolidation. In short it burdens the economy. Estimates suggest that subsidies now account for 42% of gross fiscal deficit. Analysts believe the food security scheme will add to the deficit burden substantially at a time when it can ill afford. Why? That’s because it could lead to a sovereign downgrade. And this would take the country from its lowest investment grade to a junk status, and would lead to a mandatory exodus of several foreign funds from the country. That’s not all. There are laws in some countries which do not allow these funds to invest back even after the ratings are upgraded (which usually takes at least two years) as rules there specify mandatory waiting period of several months to be able to re-enter that country. So knowing very well that jobs are the biggest currency for urban and rural folks alike, the UPA government would have done better to sound its political bugle by announcing a new policy around jobs. After all, it’s seen the political benefits of NREGA. Fewer jobs: Data from AICTE, which regulates technical education in India, suggests there were 1,511 engineering colleges across India, which had 550,000 students graduating in 2006-07. Both have doubled since then. The number is much larger when graduates of all streams are taken into account. It’s still another thing that a substantial number are unemployable. But when it comes to the number of jobs, there would be fewer opportunities this year given the slowdown, which translates into more disgruntled voters and the possibility of a demographic dividend transforming into a potential time bomb. A smart strategy would therefore have been to include the aspirations of the youth - roughly [[phy_address]] time voters (aged 18 to 23) in their political math. The youth is keenly looking at the job market. Unfortunately for them, jobs have now reduced. The IT industry for instance, which hires over 50 % of the new engineering graduates alone, is expected to hire 50,000 less people. For the Indian economy which added 14 million jobs to the workforce in the two years ended 2011-12, (12 million join the labour force every year) the outlook now looks bleak. Why are jobs reducing? The reason jobs are fewer is because companies are not expanding and not taking up new projects either because they are not being able to get land, clearances, or because high interest rates have rendered their projects unviable. What’s going to hit them harder now is the new land acquisition bill. Again a bold move, which will empower farmers and give them the right price for their land, while making land acquisition so difficult for certain companies that projects would have to be shelved or inordinately delayed. Instead, the government should have brought in safeguards to ensure that the farmers get their price but a project is not delayed. That’s because in simple terms no project equals to no jobs and more pain. More youth from the rural areas are migrating to cities in search of jobs despite the fact that NREGA created more avenues of engagement within rural areas. NSSO data suggests that the share of agriculture for rural males in employment, which accounts for the biggest source of jobs, dropped almost 10 % to 59 % in the last couple of years. So, instead of letting them stay illegally in the city footpaths – again for votes – it’s better to build more cities which can offer them an opportunity. The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, which would create many new cities along with industrial hubs and jobs are models of infrastructure development that the government should encourage and perhaps even subsidise as this is what would create long term jobs and well being for its people. Comments:Sort by: Newest \| Oldest \| Recommended (9) \| Agree (14) The author has tried to rake up a very important issue but he could not analyse it fully. Today, there is no dearth of jobs in the country. In fact there is a shortage of skilled manpower in both organized and unorganized sectors. MNREGA has resulted in flight of skilled manpower from industry back to their villages. Prime Minister's skilled upgradation program, which was started with much fanfare has turned out to be failure. Food security bill will again drive people away from jobs to a secured domain of free food and no work. - True, as the saying goes, if you give fish to a person, you feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you feed him for life. This is the actual thinking.The author has correctly adressed about the proportion of jobs and its seekers.The declaration is far from reality.As number of qualified persons go High there must be avenues to fulfill the desire.And I think many of us are forgetting rural involvement. Many of us are not focussing on rural jobs and possibility.we rate the magnitude of a disaster by the compensation declared by the government. Many a times they are far from comitment. Very well written blog and very logical.The food security scheme will neither ensure food to the poor not get the Congress votes.Conditions in rural areas are disturbing and MNREGA after some years has failed check exodus from villages.It has instead turned into a source of earning for petty bureaucrats and panchayat functionaries.The land acquisition bill would also not succeed because of growing reluctance of people to part with cultivable land. But what does Rahul tom tom about. That he gives full Roti (One Roti is sufficient for working under NREGA!) and you get a job too.Some of our leaders are so dumb! Alas.Our noted Economist Prime Minister has long forgotten his subject or is unable to use his knowledge! there should be no problem with food security bill. But no one dare ask congress that what they done to full fill the promise given by Mrs. Indira Gandhi of Garibi Hatao.& if they could have full filled that promise in so many years there was no need for food security bill. good Good interpretation of how vote and food is linked by the political parties to set their agenda which would further help them in their political aspirations. Food Security Bill should have been called Votes Securing Bill. It is astonishing that even after sixty years of Independence India has so many poor people. While real needy people need help as a temporary measure, real solutions to poverty like elsewhere. Population control, education, incentives to existing businesses and incentives for starting new businesses particularly manufacturing are some of the long term measures required. Good insights. The Skill Development Corporation had a long term target to skill 500 mn people by 2022 to take care especially of the aspirations of rural youth - but FSB was politically more convenient - even for the opposition which clamored to say they ensured it was passed Congress has messed up the nation. American constitution runs to lesser pages than a faulty verdict in our country. More the words lesser the effect and more the confusion. I go with Anupam Kher for rewriting Indian constitution. To explain the UPA's priorities one needs to see their predicament.After two terms in office they are suffering from a complete failure of their economic agenda especially in the last three years.Their victory in 2009 was seen as a result of the success of MNREGA a scheme which has been shunted out after serving its purpose.Thus the UPA wants to hand over a bankrupt economy suffering from the classic symptoms of high inflation and low growth while giving the incoming party a huge FSB which it does not have the resources for. Rahul Gandhi's challenge should be to use his mandate with the rulers to put pressure and book hoarders who have speculated food items out of reach of the middle class because the UPA pays only lip service to the cause of fiscal prudence.Only then will the promise of dream fulfilment of the poor prevalent in the speeches of Rahul Gandhi make basic economic sense. Why Delhi Mumbai corridor? Why not Delhi Guwahati, Delhi Kolkota, Delhi Bhubaneshwar corridors? The benefits will directly go to the surrounding backward areas and those states. Delhi Mumbai corridor is a dream of disaster and a calus plan to suck out the wealth from Maharashtra into the hands of Delhi crooks. Congress has robbed since last 4 years through 2G, CWG,Adarsh, Railgate, coalgate....now the loot is over for the time being but the sin is stamped on the forehead of congress .So to hide their sin which was perpetrated over last 4 years all the bills have been passed to hoodwink the aam aadmi and wash their sins! Our leaders of UPA II did not focus on the real India development agenda which should be planned to bear fruit by the time our grand children become adults some time in 2030/35. Instead they congress has focused on giveaway culture. UPA II is only seeing the next election campaign coming. Why the food bill could not have been put in parliament in 2009? India i.e. UPA II has a real shortage of leaders who read history books and understand global trends. Now government of UPA II it appears don`t have the research or training to do what is needed post [[phy_address]] neither UPA II consults people who can see the fourth coming days. In the name of food security bill giving food away is no permanent solution, as it undermines the ability of people to support themselves, creating a culture of dependency and depriving them of the main Launchpad for economic growth and self governance. There is some thing terribly wrong when Soniya said her famous self defeating words in parliament " that if there is no money for the food security bill, it would just have to be found. And if the public distribution system is broken, she said, it would have to be fixed. But how, she did not say?” India needs to get rid of UPA II who it appears have`nt read History or refuse to read again but only seeing election coming! UPA II regime will go down in the history of India as an attempt to knowingly push the country towards extreme financial profligacy & populist jingoisms not witnessed so far which has the capability to annul what all India did since 1991. The other aspect of creating more jobs to create a harmony in the society and bonding different communities within it. Employment has far better effect then it looks from the prima facie. It provides safety, security and stability to the society but at the same time it also curbs anti-social behavior which is nourishing due to unemployment which can lead to riots, rape, theft, burglary and corruption!!! yes corruption too. Govt should make policy not to provide free food but to generate healthy industrial atmosphere so that more people get job not only in BIG cities but in the rural area. This is can solve 99% problems in the society. I wonder if any govt is really working on it. Well written , explaining problems & reasons in the food and job front .This being the election time , the title of this blog is quite appropriate . But what is the solution ? We need a total change in the political system in India .We need to look beyond existing political parties , both national and regional .We need a new party floated by a group of young , educated , patriotic and dynamic people which could give clean and decisive governance at the centre and states . There should not be coalition governments . They should adopt new technologies to improve agricultural and industrial productivity , thereby creating employment opportunities in villages and cities . They will also give priority to set up infrastructure like roads , educational institutes , houses , hospitals , power , water etc so that the problem of migration of people from villages to cities could be reduced .All .including the youth should join hands and identify that dynamic group that could fulfil this need of the hour to ensure job and food for all . How about AAP of Arvind Kejriwal and his dynamic team ? Very well written. We cannot limit urban success to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore. Bluntly put these are the only cities where urban educated upwardly mobile people stay.But this is rudeness to rest of the nation. New cities will have to be developed. People who are aspiring [and it is a constant process in a democratic modern nation] would in subsequent generations want to move to better cities...giving food to poor [continuous show of noblesse obligee] will not take us forward. Democracy does not mean pressing the voting machine once in 5 years but it means development that leads to mobility leading to changes in hierarchies and then natural choices. Our politicians have to understand this and help build many more new modern world class cities may b govt wanted make dependent of them.no any serious politucain who think about poors condition all are runing aftr thier votes. akhilesh yadav has a bunch of crooks. they can't do anything except following hitler policy "Long term" does not exist in the perception & thought process of the politician. His restricted vision is short and action packed to enrich him/herself at the cost of the Nation. Depriving the common citizen to become more powerful and rich is the sole objective. National interest does not exist in their except for the limited purpose of looting National resources. Why subsidies so heavily when investment in infrastructure and skill development is lacking Government need to create enabling environment to create jobs particularly for youth. after so much time TOI published a good article. Today the India needs an economy upheaval. These new reforms like ACB and FSB all are nothing but just a sham. Today the government is doing nothing but pork barrel politics. And the future generation have to pay the price. Very good advice.But wasted on this government,which appears to be on its way out.You are right,it is likely to be voted out mainly for its failures to create jobs.If we read Financial news papers,there are job cuts everywhere.No one is hiring.No one is hiring for no one is expanding,for no one has money to do so ,for money is used up elsewhere to help the poor.It is a negative cycle,which only a new incumbent with fresh views/approaches can break.Present rulers had 10 years.Enough to start and conclude a revolution.They are instead sitting on infra projects worth 9Lakh crores.If they had started those,there would have been UPA III. Really shame on condition of India made by politics, first of all it doesn't let the indian companies grow here by applying lots of burdens, but invites MNCs to get here and stand strongly, after that When Rupees falls, Job gets reduced, they blame people to use Desi products made by companies already not in condition to full fill all modern need. Forget the job man! It has become fashion of the day for each leader to bestow one or other benefit, say in cash, plot of land house job or any thing of money value to pacify the voter by hook or crook.No 0ne considers at whose cost these benefits are being given? Ofcourse it is at the cost of tax payer. What right these politision have to spend such money?Let us bring out an extreme example just to bring home the real point at issue.If a leader declares "if our part is voted to the chair, our party will give every voter one house, one car , one mobile one TV, one computer , one freeze, one washing machine. Fortunately or unfortunately that party comes to form the government after winning with thumbing majority. Now to fullfil the commitment, the party needs fund. So they started selling government assets viz free land , buildings,etc. Now prime question arises who can prevent the government from doing this? Now the next question arises if the central Government desides to sale a portion of India by forgoing the right of desputed area, who can prevent? I don't think offering a job is anyway lesser than offering food. It is better to teach fishing than providing fish. So rather than giving food, giving a job is anytime better. Why do you go to the mentality of giving food? Are we looking at poor as beggars? Whatever be the situation of economic and politics in the country, we need to create job opportunity and provide jobs. We need to come out of the mindset of Freebies. Where is the Freebie coming from? Where is the free food coming from? are you saying that we need to feed the unemployed and poor by slapping more tax on the employed and working class? Why is that you are looking at food and not livelihood? The perception needs to change. Food Security, NREGA are all schemes TO KEEP PEOPLE POOR. These are by no means pro poor. Job creation and development would be the pro poor policy. Alas such policy would hurt the interests of Pro Terror Vote Bank parties like the Congress. Their idea is to keep people poor and state dependent so that they remain loyal vote bank. Time has come to show EXIT door to such parties. Politicians are becoming jokers now, when it matters the most they offer jobs instead of food & security, the word job is of assurance to the Government like SP of the votes, rather than compassion of the victims. Every where they exploit the chance to do the canvassing , by showing some eye wash tactics, like now Congress leaders visiting the riot hit areas in queue , while denying the other parties entry to the Muzafarnagar by citing security & incidents reasons, this is Congress & SP nexus. They have planned this & now are using it for the electoral gains. It doesn't matter how many lives list, but it matters how many voters made happy & how many votes earned.......

This is a wild coincidence – but then, I don’t believe in coincidences, I believe in serendipity. Yesterday I posted my opinion that the term “aspiring writer” limits us – we must truly understand that we are already writers. (I didn’t mention this yesterday but I’m reminded of Michelangelo who expressed that inside a raw rock was already the statue yearning to break free, and so that was his mission. But I digress.) Lo and behold, this morning I’m reading my inbox and I see this article from copyblogger, expressing the same sentiment – that you’re already a writer, when you decide that you ARE one. Certainly an affirmation of what I believe as well, and the more you believe in yourself as an “already writer” instead of an “aspiring writer,” the more effortlessly you will actualize your true potential.
Born: Evansville, Ind. Education: Bachelor of arts degree, chemistry; MBA; honorary doctorate of science, Indiana University What was your first job? It was $1.25 an hour. I worked in an icehouse doing manual labor. I think I was 17; I was supposed to be 18. I probably fudged on that a little bit. But I actually pulled ice. Back in those days, ice boxes were just that. You had slabs of ice you put in the ice box to keep food cold. We used to cut that up and make deliveries to various ice boxes. That taught me that I didn’t want to do that very long. Best motivation in the world to study. What is the greatest challenge you faced in your career? Getting the business started and having the guts to step out there when you had very little. I resigned from one company to start Mays Chemical. I had encouragement from my wife. What is the best business lesson you’ve ever learned? Treat people like you would like to be treated. Be fair. What is your favorite movie? ‘The Godfather.’ It points out some very good lessons on management, discipline and family.
The White House fiscal 2015 budget proposes a number of changes to improving and strengthening the quality and quantity of workers in science, technology, education and mathematics (STEM) fields. One proposed change is a government wide reorganization of STEM education programs that have traditionally been fragmented across various agencies. The proposal also seeks to focus federal STEM education efforts on five areas identified in the government’s five-year strategic plan: P-12 instruction, undergraduate education, graduate education, broadening participation in STEM to women and minorities, and STEM education activities that take place outside the traditional classroom. The budget also proposes $170 million for the Education Department to launch a cohesive initiative to transform STEM teaching and learning, in part to establish the President’s goal of recruiting, preparing and retaining 100,000 STEM teachers over the next decade. The president's budget also would provide $333 million to support top graduate student researchers who show promise in becoming future leaders in STEM fields, and would provide $7 million for a new program to boost innovation in graduate education by providing awards to universities that come up with innovative ideas for improving student training.

Anonymous Article for Review Communication Simulation, Understanding and Implementation Visualization and model building are skills that technology instructors have been providing their students for some time. Using visualization and the ability to replicate a model are skills that can be enhanced when students are introduced to communication simulation and the process of developing simulated representations of reality. In this article, the authors explain how to develop and design a communication simulation using a physical security analysis of a computer laboratory as the theme of the activity. Communication simulation from the authors’ viewpoint is the use of technology and visualization to allow the student to communicate by using a model Computer developed simulations are new teaching tools that faculty are starting to use in their classrooms. In this paper, the authors look at one type of simulation, communication, which can be implemented into the classroom using a physical security analysis from a technology/visualization perspective. However, to disseminate this article to a broader audience and to be consistent with the understanding of the terminology used throughout the narrative several terms will be defined using Wikipedia as the resource. As Clark Aldrich states (2009, p. xxxii), “The lack of common terms is a huge problem, and it has substantially hindered the development of the simulation space. Sponsors, developers, and students have not been able to communicate intelligently.” Follow The Money $ 5.2 Million Investment in STEM-based Manufacturing Education Workforce Development Programs The SME Education Foundation (www.smeef.org) has announced funding to nine model schools in eight states through its PRIME -Partnership Response in Manufacturing Education -Program, for the academic school year, 2012-2013. PRIME, a community-based approach to manufacturing education, is part of a commitment by the SME Education Foundation to address the shortage of manufacturing and technical talent in the According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in professional, scientific, and technical services is expected to grow by 29 percent, adding 2.1 million new jobs between 2010 and 2020. News \| \| The Future of Technology in Education Predicting what future technology could do in the domain of education is certainly a difficult task. Mainly because the student community is looking at education from different angles, and technology itself is undergoing a massive change. One must realize that the future is clouded, and must be filtered through the ability of teachers — in the past and present — to think about the impact of technologies on student learning and capacity of the teaching community to undergird research in technology. We must remember that technologies are not the content of education; rather they provide a cornucopia of tools for learning. The Art of the Future It Takes a Village to Educate a Child The economy is the single most important issue for a sizable majority of voters in the 2012 presidential race according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News Poll. Similarly, U.S. competitiveness, entrepreneurship, and innovation are the hot topics in politics and business. On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, Harvard released a survey of approximately 10,000 alumni, from the Harvard Competitiveness project, indicating American competitiveness will decline over the next three years, according to 71% of those surveyed. News \| \| Senate Career and Technical Education Caucus U.S. Senators Tim Kaine and Rob Portman announced the formation of the Senate Career and Technical Education (CTE) Caucus. The bipartisan Caucus, co-chaired by Kaine and Portman, will focus on improving and strengthening access to career and technical education to ensure that students of all ages are prepared with the skills they need for the jobs of the 21st century. \| \| Career and Technical Education Month February is National Career and Technical Education month, and there is much to be celebrated when examining the remarkable contributions that Delaware’s career and technical education students, teachers and alumni have made to communities throughout the state. Investing in career and technical education can yield big returns for state economies. There is strong evidence, for example, that high school students involved in these programs are more engaged, perform better and graduate at higher rates. In addition, CTE programs at the postsecondary level have realized an increase in completion rates as they prepare students and adults for in-demand careers. There is no doubt that career and technical education also addresses the needs of high-growth industries and helps to close the skills gap. \| \| State of the Union - Education Related Highlights The following are some education-related highlights from Obama’s 2014 State of the Union address. The excerpts are from a full text version of the president’s prepared remarks, as distributed by the Associated Press. The First Four Paragraph's are Directed to Technical, Technology and STEM Education. 1) I’ve asked Vice President Biden to lead an across-the-board reform of America’s training programs to make sure they have one mission: train Americans with the skills employers need, and match them to good jobs that need to be filled right now. That means more on-the-job training, and more apprenticeships that set a young worker on an upward trajectory for life. It means connecting companies to community colleges that can help design training to fill their specific needs. 2) We’re working to redesign high schools and partner them with colleges and employers that offer the real-world education and hands-on training that can lead directly to a job and career. We’re shaking up our system of higher education to give parents more information, and colleges more incentives to offer better value, so that no middle-class kid is priced out of a college education. \| \| Where the Jobs Are: Entrepreneurship and the Soul of the American Economy Four years after the end of the Great Recession, 23 million Americans remain unemployed, underemployed, or have left the workforce discouraged. Even worse, Washington policymakers seem out of ideas. Where the Jobs Are: Entrepreneurship and the Soul of the American Economy shows how America can restore its great job-creation machine. Recent research has demonstrated that virtually all net new job creation in the United States over the past thirty years has come from businesses less than a year old—true "start-ups." Start-up businesses create an average of three million new jobs each year, while existing businesses of any size or age shed a net average of about one million jobs annually. Unfortunately, the vital signs of America's job-creating entrepreneurial economy are flashing red alert. After remaining remarkably consistent for decades, the rate of new business formation has declined significant in recent years, and the number of new jobs created by new firms is also falling. \| \| Motorsports Classroom Program, Pre-Engineering for STEM Education MechNet Inc. has developed a very unique educational opportunity for STEM education. One of the programs main goals is to pique the interest of the student, by studying engineering, math and physics concepts on a real world platform. The program also helps students who may have previously had issues in Math and Science, by better relating concepts to topics that can be understood with a real world application. This program brings math and engineering to life. Students will be required to use math and science as a tool to solve a problem. All of the letters in the equation will relate to something real. The course uses the approach of, " for today’s lesson we want to solve for X, and this in the formula we are going to use," along with the data to come up with the answer. The program is based around the popular 1/10th scale remote control racing vehicle and uses sophisticated research quality testing equipment to conduct experiments. It will require the use of mathematical formulas and science principles \| \| Technical Education Center to be Strategically Focused on ‘Real Jobs’ The Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center is in search of a new model to prepare students for the workforce, and Grant Tate is on a mission to find it. Tate, a tech executive turned consultant who heads the Charlottesville-based firm the Bridge Ltd, is leading CATEC through a strategic planning process that he believes can transform the current state of vocational training in the region. “All the forces are coming together on this issue,” Tate said, citing the Orange Dot Project—a local 2011 family self-sufficiency study—and recent state and national conversations about the wage gap between high- and low-income earners. “The thing that was brought out [of those conversations] was that we need vocational training to help start to bridge this gap so people can get real jobs,” Tate added. “So the national pressure is coming, the state pressure is coming, and the local pressure is coming.” Competitions All American Soap Box Derby Gravity Racing Challenge With Soap Box Derby cars being used in over 300 schools in 13 states and in classrooms in Promoting the S.T.E.M.

This year, those seeking professorships in English and foreign languages may have a difficult time finding them, but it might not be as difficult as predicted, according to a mid-year analysis by the Modern Language Association (MLA). However, opportunities will still be lower than they have been in 35 years. The job market for those looking to receive tenure-track jobs at universities is never particularly favorable, even when the economy is good. "Even in a good year, less than 50 percent of those who earn Ph.D.s that year will get a tenure-track job," said Mary Crane, chairperson of the English department. "Ever since I was in graduate school, everyone always says, ‘It's hard to get a job.'" Generally, such students enter the job market three times, taking one-year jobs when they cannot get a tenure-track job. Crane said that at least one of her graduate assistants will not able to get a tenure-track job, but is looking to find a one-year position. Taking a temporary job will increase her chances of getting a tenure-track job next year, Crane said. "If you have a one-year job, that helps. If you continue publishing, that helps, too." Boston College has been able to continue hiring because it is tuition-driven rather than endowment-driven, meaning that it has been less affected by the economic downturn, Crane said. This year, the University hired a new English department faculty member, a position for which there were about 200 applicants. About 15 of the candidates were interviewed at an annual convention held in December in Philadelphia, and three were brought back to campus to spend a day, at which point one was offered the job. "A bad job market is great for hiring," she said. "We had three really great candidates who all would have come here, and our top person is coming." This allows BC to hire better quality faculty, Crane said. "BC sees [the economic downturn] as an opportunity – if places like Harvard, really wealthy schools that are worse off because they rely on endowment, aren't hiring, now this is one of the best jobs, so it's an opportunity to gain some good faculty." Crane said that this year is a bad year for English and foreign-language scholars, but that there have been worse years. "Your chances are essentially the number of people getting Ph.D.s versus the number of jobs," she said. "It's a bad year because the number of jobs is low, but it's not as low as it was at its lowest point, probably because there are other places like BC who see the opportunity to hire." For those who are English majors in college, there are many different options for career paths, and the data for their success in the job market is not tracked as carefully. "A lot of people go to law school or other kinds of graduate school, so it doesn't apply directly," Crane said. "A lot of English majors get jobs in publishing, which is having a lot of economic troubles, so it's probably harder to get a job in that field right now." Many students have chosen to continue their education or volunteer instead of trying their luck on the current job market, Crane said. "You see more people getting master's degrees or doing Teach for America or another volunteer program to put off going on the job market." For those interested in pursuing advanced degrees in English, Crane's advice is the same as it is at any time, given that job opportunities are almost always scarce in such disciplines. "It's really only something to do if you feel like you can't imagine yourself doing something else," she said. Foreign language studies present a different set of problems. While becoming a foreign-language scholar is difficult, speaking a foreign language, particularly Spanish, can enhance many careers, said Karen Daggett, a professor in the Spanish department. "There just really aren't that many jobs," she said. "Our best candidate last year got a doctorate in French, Spanish, and Italian theater, and the best job she could get was a one-year position." Getting jobs in other occupations can be easier for those who speak other languages, especially Spanish. "I think there are certain jobs that a Spanish major can get just by majoring in Spanish, such as that of a teacher, principal, or interpreter," Daggett said. "Those are jobs that are directly related to majoring in Spanish. However, unless it's someone's dream to be a tenured faculty member at a university who teaches literature, a high school, or junior high school teacher, or interpreter, Spanish is an enhancement." Daggett teaches a Spanish conversation class at BC for those who already hold a variety of occupations and want to increase their marketability in fields such as medicine, education, social work, marketing human resources, and business, fields in which it is particularly helpful to be fluent in Spanish. "I have students who come into class and are desperate to learn Spanish," she said. "I have a lot of psychiatrists who come because they want to expand their practices, and some who feel they have to learn Spanish. They feel as if, if they don't, they could lose their job." This type of pressure is felt in other occupations as well, she said. The Hispanic population in the country is growing, which makes Spanish an enhancement to one's resume, Daggett said. "I really believe that most professions, with very few exceptions, would be enhanced by Spanish," she said. "It opens doors and enhances everything. Hopefully when you learn a language, you're not learning it in a cultural vacuum. The assumption is made by the person you are speaking to that you understand them." Cultural context can be important when speaking to a Hispanic person. "My brother-in-law is an engineer in California, and he was trying to make a deal with a company in Mexico," Daggett said. "He needed me because he couldn't get anywhere with them. I had to translate and also explain why he wasn't getting anywhere, because he didn't understand Mexicans and how they do business."

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Retail gasoline prices have dropped 6 cents per gallon this week across Texas as travelers prepare for upcoming holiday trips. AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price at the pump averaged $3.03 statewide. Nationwide gasoline prices slipped 4 cents to settle at $3.21 per gallon. The association survey found Amarillo has the cheapest gasoline this week at $2.81 per gallon. The most expensive gasoline is in the Austin and San Marcos areas at $3.07 per gallon. AAA officials attribute the cheaper prices to resolution of production concerns along the Gulf Coast and limited seasonal demand between Thanksgiving and end-of-the-year holidays. The travel group estimates 7.9 million people in Texas will travel during the period starting Saturday and running through Jan. 1. Most travelers are expected to drive.

Louisville, KY - Today is ladies day at Churchill Downs. Dreaming of Julia drew post No. 8 in the 11 horse field and will go off as the favorite at 3-1 in the $1 million Kentucky Oaks. Trainer Todd Pletcher has once again aligned himself with a number of fillies entered in this race and is dominating the field with his entry Dreaming of Julia. The filly won the Gulfstream Park Oaks by a huge margin, and I think we can expect more of the same from her Friday. Unlimited Budget, Silsita and Princess of Sylmar are also being saddled by Pletcher. Pletcher is no stranger to the Oaks trophy after having won it in 2004 and 2007. Pletcher will also saddle five horses in tomorrow's Kentucky Derby. Jockey John Velazquez who has been on the injury list is now at the track and looking forward to getting back to work. He will ride the undefeated Verrazano on Saturday. Pletcher has some of the tightest security at the track but I was able to get a look at Verrazano who was resting well after his workout on Wednesday. Post time for the Kentucky Oaks today is at 5:45 p.m. The field is as follows: 1PP Silsita 20/1 Pletcher, 2PP Midnight Lucky 9/2 Pletcher, 3PP Beholder 7/2 Mandella, 4PP Unlimted Budget 7/2 Pletcher, 5PP Seaneen Girl 30/1 Flint, 6PP Princess of Sylmar 20/1 Pletcher 7PP Pure Fun 30/1 McPeek, 8PP Dreaming of Julia 3/1 Pletcher, 9PP Rose to Gold 15/1 Santoro 10PP Flashy Gray 15/1 Mott, 11PP Close Hatches 6/1 Mott.

You are here: Home » South » Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah to expand cabinet tomorrow South \| Indo-Asian News Service \| Updated: May 17, 2013 15:[[phy_address]] Bangalore : Four days after taking over as Karnataka chief minister, Congress leader Siddaramaiah will expand his ministry Saturday amid demands that "tainted" legislators be kept out as the party wrested power from the BJP on an anti-corruption plank. From Congress Lok Sabha member AH Vishwanath from Mysore to freedom fighter HS Doreswamy, 95, many have been strident in their call to Siddaramaiah to induct into the ministry only party legislators with clean image. Vishwananth has been telling reporters for the last few days that only legislators with "clean image" should be made ministers. Doreswamy has in a letter to Siddaramaiah urged him to keep out the "tainted" from the ministry. Doreswamy was among the first group of people that Siddaramaiah called on in Bangalore after taking oath as the chief minister. Others he met included well-known writers such as UR Anantha Murthy, Girish Karnad and Chandrashekar Kambar, all Jnanpith Award winners. Siddaramaiah, who was sworn-in May 13, was in New Delhi from Wednesday for talks with Congress president Sonia Gandhi, party vice-president Rahul Gandhi and other party leaders to finalise the names of legislators to be made ministers. He is expected back in Bangalore late Friday or early Saturday as he flew directly to Mysore, about 130 km from the state capital Bangalore, from New Delhi for some personal work. Soon after taking oath, Siddaramaiah had told reporters here that his ministry would have people with "clean image". On Saturday, around 20 legislators are expected to be sworn-in by Governor HR Bhardwaj at a function in Raj Bhavan in the city centre. Under the constitutional arrangement, Karnataka can have a 34-member ministry, including the chief minister - that is 15 percent of the strength of the assembly which has 225-members, including one nominated. The Congress has won 121 seats of the 223 for which polls were held May 5 and results announced May 8. The Bharatiya Janata Party, whose maiden rule since 2008 was marred by sex, corruption and illegal land deal scandals and dissidence, suffered a crushing defeat, and the party won just 40 seats. The third major political party, the Janata Dal-Secular, also won 40 seats while the remaining seats were taken by small parties and Independents. Voting for one seat, where polling was countermanded following a candidate's death, will take place later this month.

It didn't take a serious illness to make me aware that medicine today neglects some of the most important elements of healing, but it was illness - and my journey to recovery - to mobilize my husband, Bill, and me to try to do something about it. In partnering with the most talented and enlightened leaders in medicine to change what needs to be changed, we discovered that there were others like us out there doing the same thing elsewhere in the country. Together, through our collaborative efforts, we are achieving results in shaping how health professionals are educated and trained and in helping sustain and expand the impact of the best models of clinical care. We have the privilege of partnering with the best minds and hearts in medicine, and knowing that we are part of one of the most important paradigm shifts taking place in our society today. The George Family Foundation is convinced that the principles of integrative health will, with our help, become part of the standard of care in medicine, that integrative medicine will restore healing to patients, health professionals and the health care system itself.
Who are you? Jessica: I'm a Clifton Park resident and a second-grader at Arongen Elementary School. Andrew: I'm also a Clifton Park resident. I'm in the sixth grade at Koda Middle School. What sorts of activities are you interested in? When do you do these things? Jessica: I like gymnastics. Every Friday at Cartwheels in Clifton Park I do floor routines and use the trampoline, beam and bar. I'm a Brownie in the Girl Scouts. Andrew: I'm a good bowler. I belong to a league and bowl at Sunset Lanes on the weekends. I understand that both of you are making swags and selling them to raise money for families affected by Hurricane Sandy. Can you tell me how you heard about the group called Superstorm Santa and what you are doing to help? Jessica: I recently learned at school, by watching a video, that families affected by Hurricane Sandy are still without power and have nowhere to go. There is a group called Superstorm Santa that is raising money to help. The Shenendehowa PTA and my Brownie troop, No. 2678, at Shenendehowa United Methodist Church told us about what was happening. Andrew: Our family decided to do something here at home. We cut bunches of pine from our own yard and made the swags on our deck. We decorated them with pinecones and ribbon and then set up a table in our front yard to sell them. We are asking for a $5 donation so we can help the families on Long Island and other places where the storm hit. Jessica: We made a flyer and gave it to all our neighbors. Why do you want to help people you've never met? Jessica: When I heard about what happened, it made me want to do something to help the people. Andrew: I'm a fan of the Giants football team, and I saw on television that Hurricane Sandy affected some of them. Some of the players live in that part of New York state and were talking about it. I thought what happened was unfair; I didn't understand why it happened to them and not to us, here. I realized it could happen here. -- By Francine Grinnell Jessica and Andrew Schwartz are still selling holiday swags to benefit Hurricane Sandy victims through Superstorm Santa. Those interested in purchasing a swag can call (518) 952-1001. For more information about Superstorm Santa, go to www.superstormsanta.com.

The Oklahoma Christian School Saints were firing on all cylinders Friday night and had little trouble taking a 41-14 Class 2A playoff win from an injury-plagued Lindsay team. Lindsay and OCS also met in the second round of the 2011 state tournament; the Leopards knocked the Saints out of contention in that game, but had no such fortune Friday night as OCS took charge early. “I’m excited. These kids have just worked so hard, it’s great to see them get rewarded,” OCS coach Derek Turner said after the game. “Lindsay is a great program. Those kids played with heart, they played with respect. (Coach) Tommy Ferguson has really coached those kids up.” After missing a field goal on their first possession, the Saints forced a Leopard punt and then wasted little time scoring their first touchdown, keyed by a 33-yard strike from quarterback Austin Brooks to Connor Sikes. A missed PAT left OCS up 6-0 with 7:[[phy_address]] quarter. But the Saints weren’t content to leave their offense on the sideline for long. After the ensuing kickoff, defensive back Blake Barnes walked in front of a Lindsay pass and returned it to the Leopards’ 35-yard line. OCS pounded the ball on runs by Luke Frankfurt to the 12-yard line before the drive stalled. Kicker Nathan Blakely knocked in a 29-yard field goal to make the score 9-0 Saints. OCS kept firing, as after a defensive stop, Barnes returned the Lindsay punt into enemy territory, then in the first play from scrimmage took a pass in the flat from Brooks and dodged up the Saints sideline for a 40-yard touchdown, and OCS led 17-0 after a two-point conversion run. The defense stepped up again on the ensuing Lindsay possession, as OCS linebacker Stephen Wood got a big sack of the quarterback to bring up fourth down. The Leopards fumbled the punt snap and the Saints ended up with prime field position at the Lindsay 23. A few plays later, Brooks tossed a 13-yard pass to Frankfurt for a touchdown on the first play of the second quarter to put OCS up 24-0. Lindsay got on the board later in the quarter, as the Saints were called for a pass interference penalty and on the ensuing play Leopards quarterback Dru Brayton hit Colt Taylor, who motored 58 yards for the touchdown. The two-point conversion attempt failed and the Saints led 24-6 with 6:38 remaining in the half. As time wound down in the half, OCS appeared to be on the way to scoring again. After a 57-yard Brooks-to-Frankfurt touchdown was called back on a Saints block in the back, OCS drove down to the 11-yard line. As the final seconds ticked away, Brooks buzzed a pass that was just out of reach of Will McKinnis in the front right corner of the end zone. A 28-yard field goal by Blakely made it 27-6 Saints as time expired in the half. OCS returned to action in the second half, scoring with 9:53 left on a Garrett Kilborn run that put the Saints up 34-6. OCS forced a Lindsay turnover on downs, then after a long drive went for it on fourth-and-1 deep in their own territory. Brooks hit Barnes on a 24-yard strike for the Saints’ final touchdown, and OCS led 41-6. Early in the fourth quarter, Lindsay runner Hayden Eubank broke through several tacklers and scored from 25 yards out. The ensuing two-point conversion run was good, and put the score at 41-14 OCS. Turner pulled his starters midway through the Saints’ first fourth-quarter possession. The Saints dominated the line of scrimmage on defense and offense. The defense registered two sacks and 11 tackles for loss. In addition to Barnes’ pick, Kilborn also had an interception that stopped a Lindsay drive. “I liked the effort and the fact that they just don’t stop,” Turner said. “I think we played really good defense, we swarmed at them. “They have so many kids out with injury. They played three different quarterbacks the last few weeks. So we had to prepare for three different people and it was a long, hard week to get prepared. We had to make a lot of adjustments on the fly. They’ve got some really talented kids.” OCS, District 2A-2 champs, will be at home for the third straight week, taking on Stroud, the District 2A-5 champions. “It’s unusual to get another home game, but the way district worked out, it just happened that we got lucky and we got the game.” Stroud is 11-1 and beat Nowata 21-6 Friday night. “I know they’ve got a really good defense and they run the ball really well,” Turner said of Stroud. “Nobody gets this far without being a pretty good football team.” Sports Saints put down Leopards, will host in round 3 EDMOND — The Oklahoma Christian School Saints were firing on all cylinders Friday night and had little trouble taking a 41-14 Class 2A playoff win from an injury-plagued Lindsay team. - Sports - - SLIDESHOW: OCS Saints travel to Casady The Oklahoma Christian School Saints built a 5-run lead in the first two innings at Casady Monday afternoon, and held a 5-3 advantage until the wheels fell off in the sixth inning and the Saints gave up six runs en route to a 9-5 loss. - Edmond’s Kropp holds off Cabrera to win in Cordoba William Kropp, a 24-year-old rookie from Edmond, managed to hold off local favorite Ángel Cabrera to win the 83rd Abierto OSDE del Centro presented by FiberCorp Sunday. His victory at the Cordoba Golf Club, in Cabrera’s hometown of Villa Allende, was his first in just five career starts on the NEC Series-PGA TOUR Latinoamérica. “My plan for the first half of the Tour season was to get adjusted to traveling across the region and playing new courses,” said Kropp, who had finished in a tie for third only three weeks ago in Guatemala. “It’s really a great bonus to win a tournament as important as this one early in the year.” Kropp finished at 8-under par 276, one shot ahead of the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters champion. Cabrera was trying to win the tournament for the ninth time in his career and he was also seeking to become the first three-time champion on PGA TOUR Latinoamérica. - Edmond residents partake in Boston Marathon More than 35,000 runners participated in today’s Boston Marathon.

Richard Fredrick Bliss Jr., 53, and Richard Fredrick Bliss III, 19, have each been charged with one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle, Watson said. Bond was set at $10,000 each by Talladega County Circuit Judge Julian King. Both men were arrested without incident at 9:49 a.m. Thursday. The victim, Scott Ray Brown, 46, remains at University Hospital in Birmingham, where he is being treated for a single gunshot wound to his upper torso, Watson said. Information on Brown’s condition was not available Thursday. Investigators said they believe Brown and two younger people were on Whiting Road, where the shooting occurred, in a white Mazda intending to steal copper wire from the Coosa Valley Electric Cooperative substation. The Blisses allegedly fired one shot each into the vehicle, one using a rifle and the other a handgun. Both weapons have been recovered. No copper appears to have been stolen from the substation. Watson declined to comment on which man had actually hit Brown, pending completion of ballistics tests by state forensic examiners. Both guns are in evidence. Shooting into an occupied vehicle is a Class B felony under Alabama law. Conviction of a Class B felony involving a firearm carries a punishment of 10 to 20 years in prison. Should Brown die as a result of his wound, shooting into an occupied vehicle is an aggravating circumstance necessary for charging capital murder. In this case, a conviction for capital murder would carry a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Exceptional Wedding and Reception site – I had the wedding of my dreams at The Gale Mansion on October 2, 2009. I can't even begin to thank Angela and her exceptional staff for making the planning process and the day of the wedding beautiful and stress free. My husband and I looked at several venues for both the wedding and reception: The Women's Club of Minneapolis, The Semple Mansion, The Weisman, The Mill City Museum, and The Minnesota Historical Center. All of these centers were beautiful, but they were not appropriate for hosting a wedding for under 100 people. To meet the food minimums we would have been spending over $60 a head, and that did NOT include liquor. When we arrived at the Gale to meet with Angela, we were exhausted! We toured the gorgeous historical mansion and feared that it too would be out of the budget. We explained our frustrations to Angela, over food minimums that did not include liquor (which we planned on hosting for our guests) and received an unexpected response, "We can work with that". I felt as though a 10, [[phy_address]] lifted off of me. This was the place! Angela was accommodating and delightful every time my wedding planner, florist, or family member wanted to see the mansion. Dealing with neurotic planners, brides, and family is an art form that Angela and her staff posses. (Having all of the lovely loonies above, I speak from experience.) On the day of the food sampling, I brought the most critical of my bunch. My wedding planner/brides man made it a point to site everything that was not to his standards. The Gale staff maintained their poised, professional demeanor throughout his "coffee cups are acceptable on a luncheon table NOT a dinner table" speech. It was clear that the Gale staff was there to make my wedding my own, no matter what picky requests my wedding planner or I had. The day of October the second was cold and rainy, and there just didn't seem to be enough time to get everything done. When I stepped foot into the Gale hallway, Angela had EVERYTHING under control. All of my nerves were left on the doorstep, and they were not allowed in at any point...Angela and her staff made sure of that. As the wedding party prepared, Angela transformed the building into a wedding site since that rain had washed away the idea of an outdoor ceremony. After the ceremony, they waved their magic wand and poof there was a magnificent dining room. I don't know which was better. The appetizers of hummus, cheeses, and fruits, that preceded the Champagne toast. The dinner selection of baked sea bass Provencal with herbs and lentils served with fresh asparagus bundle, or the stuffed chicken breast with apple brandy sauce served with fresh asparagus bundle and roasted baby red potatoes with fresh herbs, or the butternut squash ravioli in browned caper sauce topped with oven roasted vegetables, cheese and basil. It could have been the New York cheese cake with raspberry sauce. They were all spectacular, I would dare anyone to pick a favorite. We sang, we ate, we drank, we danced, we wandered the Mansion, we didn't want the evening to end. That is the memory of my wedding at The Gale Mansion. Thank You Angela and Staff!! Wedding Perfection – The Gale Mansion is a Minneapolis gem. If you are looking for a unique, beautiful and picturesque location for an event with possibly some of the best catering in the city and the most accommodating, professional and friendly staff...look no further. My husband and I were married at the Gale Mansion in September of 2009. We started our search in September of 2008 and looked at places such as The Depot, The Walker Art Center, The Mill City Museum, The Semple Mansion and The JJ Hill Library to just name a few. When we found the Gale Mansion we knew we had stumbled across a one-of-a-kind venue. First of all the staff at the Gale Mansion were nothing less than spectacular. Angela (as a former sommelier) was extremely knowledgeable on wine pairings and my husband, my parents and I spent many hours with Angela tasting wines and having great conversation. She even let us keep some bottles of the wines that were unfinished during our tastings so we could have a record of the wines we picked for the wedding day and the ones we cut. It was the little things like this that showed how the staff at the Gale care about their clients and this was just the beginning of the level of service we received during our planning process. At one point my husband and I were considering having a Brazilian steakhouse themed meal (where servers come around to each table and personally serve each guest various types of meats and veggies). We found out that Angela and the Chef at the Gale Mansion, Kevin, went to Fogo de Chao and ate a complete meal there as research to understand what we were considering. In the end we decided not to do this, but they were not at all upset that we changed our minds. They took it in stride and were so accommodating to each decision (and re-decision) my husband, my family and I made. It was such a joy to have this type of service when planning a wedding. The Wedding Day itself could not have been better. Angela wrote me an email the morning of the wedding telling me how excited she was for the big day and when I saw her and the staff later that afternoon it was like they were family. We had nearly 200 guests seated all over the entire house and it looked absolutely perfect. The flowers were in just the right spots, the photo booth we had planned for was set up and looking great, the cake was located exactly where we talked about and to top it off – our signature drinks (blueberry vodka drink and Old Fashions were mixed so well by the bartending staff that our guests could not get enough!). The dinner was the best catered meal we have had. Clearly it was our wedding, so we are biased, but we were not the only ones who felt this way. Many friends (including professional chefs and picky connoisseurs of fine food) raved about the meal. One of most discerning guests who never has a good thing to say came up to us and said “The true test of a meal is how well the vegetables are done...anyone can cook a lot of meat and serve it...but vegetables, that is a different story. The vegetables at this meal were the best I have ever had at a wedding.” (We had the asparagus bundles). To sum up. My experience at the Gale Mansion surpassed every expectation I had for my wedding. I had heard many horror stories of wedding planning before I was engaged and tried my best to stay positive and happy even during the most stressful moments, and the Gale Mansion made this easy. They were professional, caring, friendly, and extremely talented at what they do. They helped me through the tough decisions and the result was a perfect Wedding Day with everyone we love and a wonderful planning process with our friends at the Gale. Our fabulous Gale Mansion Wedding is going to be published in the August 2010 issue of MN Knot Magazine. We could not be happier. Fabulous Wedding Venue! – I would recommend the Gale Mansion as a wedding reception venue to anyone! The mansion itself is a masterpiece - exquisite woodwork, fireplaces; you get access to the entire 3 floors when you book. Your party can gather in the brand new ballroom on the lower level or mix/mingle throughout the 2 upper floors to enjoy the beauty of the place. One of the best things about the experience was the staff. Angela runs the show and she is a gem. Easy to work with, knows exactly what she's doing, guided me through the entire process. She and her assistants and the entire wait staff, bartenders, even the security guard were friendly without being overbearing. Our entire night went flawlessly thanks to the experienced workers. The mansion is located right by a park and has nice grounds for picture taking. They also have an inhouse chef who cooks up great food! If you're looking for a romantic and beautiful venue for your wedding reception, I would highly recommend the Gale Mansion! Gale Mansion, to serve or not to serve – I would like to start out by saying it was a beautiful building and the food was really good. That being said, I have to say the service (or rather lack thereof) I received there was unacceptable. I had the misfortune of sitting at the fabled "forgotton table" and sadly have to come here to tell my tale. The serving staff forgot to tell us when it was our turn to go up for food so we all sat there politely watching others return with their second and third plates. Finally we gave up and made our way there. We never received any beverage refills and one of the BRIDESMAIDS to help us get something to drink. Lastly, I never received a piece of wedding cake and every other person in the room did. As a former server I have to say it was probably the most disapointing experience I have had to date. gale mansion – I was recently married at the Gale Mansion and the staff at first were really friendly, until I met the catering manager, Angela. I didn't realize she was the catering manager because she never said that when we were introduced. During our first meeting I thought she was just a volunteer or regular staff because she didn't seem very knowledgeable about the mansion or my wedding plans. During my wedding, Angela was quite rude to my husband and I. We had brought in some alcohol before the ceremony to celebrate and she confronted us about it. I felt like a high school kid in trouble and about to be sent to the principle's office. I also heard back from other guests that she was rude to them in general. As a result of bringing in liquor, we lost our $500 deposit (even though the mansion made about $3,000 at their bar during the reception). The Gale mansion also charged us for about 10 dinners no one ate and lost our unity sand. The Gale mansion is beautiful and the other staff seemed to be very helpful and friendly, unfortunately Angela is the "boss" over there and has the last say in every thing, which is the biggest down fall for the beautiful event location.

from Arthur Staple of Newsday, There are nine games and 17 days until the NHL's trade deadline, so plenty can change for the Islanders between now and then. But it doesn't appear the Islanders' plans for Mark Streit, Lubomir Visnovsky and Evgeni Nabokov, three veterans who are on expiring contracts, will change between now and April 3. The Islanders and Streit began preliminary extension talks last month. Talks will begin shortly with Visnovsky and Nabokov, according to sources.

When I was looking at plasma or LCDs, one thing I liked about some "industrial" model of plasma was that I could get the panel with all the inputs with a small bezel around the screen. Do they make 37-42", either 720p or 1080p LCDs like this? I've run some searches and haven't come across anything.
COLCHESTER Zoo has said there was no evidence of "foul play" that could have led to the escape of five wolves. The animals were discovered missing from their steel enclosure at 7.30am on Tuesday. One wolf returned of its own accord and another was tranquilised and recaptured a short time after the pack was discovered missing. Two other wolves left were shot dead a short time later, after being hit first by anaesthetic darts. An eight-hour armed police siege culminated in the fifth missing wolf being shot dead by a zoo marksman on land close to the Maldon Road attraction at 4pm. The zoo launched an investigation into the escape and has confirmed said there was no evidence of foul play. Bosses said they are struggling to comprehend how the wolves managed to break out of the enclosure, when it is checked daily. In a statement it said it was "devastated" by the incident, adding: "Everyone involved would be grateful for time now to grieve for our lost animals away from further media intrusion. "We would also like to add our deep gratitude for the many messages of support that we are receiving." Comments (3) Please log in to enable comment sorting 12:31pm Thu 28 Nov 13 PaulWagland says...

Hello, newly minted and soon-to-be librarians! I’m visiting today from Librarian Wardrobe to give you some ideas on how to dress like a successful librarian without having to spend the large amounts of money that librarians tend to make (joke, of course). I was in your shoes recently, wondering how librarians dress for interviews and a first professional position, so I started Librarian Wardrobe as a fun reference point for LIS students, early career librarians, and anyone else wanting to see examples and share what they wear to work.
Washington (AP) — It’s not exactly the Red Carpet ceremony, but President Barack Obama’s second-term inauguration has an unmistakable Hollywood look. There was a loud cheer for Beyonce and Jay-Z as they took their places at the Capitol Monday to watch Obama take the public oath of office for his second term. The two stopped to chat with Rev. Al Sharpton. Actress Eva Longoria was seated on the platform outside the Capitol. Also seated in the crowd were singer Katy Perry, wearing an orange coat, and John Mayer. Musicians Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor were present, as well, to perform at the inaugural ceremony. And former Boston Celtics great Bill Russell was in the crowd, too.

Neighborhoods: I absolutely love this place! Great food, ambience, unique dishes and hot rooftop deck! Will Be Back!! – Went here for lunch a little while back. Though the building is quite small, this old gas station is a perfect little Mexican restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and casual, and the food tastes especially fresh and yummy! The only con is the very limited parking, but that is an easy workaround. I will definitely be back! it was the worst food poisoning i have had in years! – i have never darkened their doors since i had the worst food poisoning of my life from this place. i was ill for about a week after rushing home after about an hour or so eating there- ate chicken tacos. will NEVER forget that moment. needless to say, ruined all the rugs in my bathroom among other things i had to discard. NEVER again. called the restaurant- and of course- deny, deny, deny. also- had to drive around for [[phy_address]] to find a parking spot. NOT worth it. obviously. Great Time – I went to Pure a couple of weeks ago and sat at the bar with a few friends because the dining room was full of people eating and seemingly having a great time. Our bartender, Sasha, was very pleasant and made several different types of margaritas, all of which were excellent. I'm not even a big margarita fan. Even though the bar was full, I never had to wave someone down for another drink. For dinner, I had the salmon special which was the best meal I had had in a long time. My friends both got the fish tacos and loved them. I'm surprised I had enough room for dinner considering that I couldn't get enough of the fresh salsa they bring out when you are seated. Overall, the service, food and atmosphere were outstanding. I just wish I lived closer so that I could go there more often. I recommend this place to anyone who loves Hispanic/Mexican food and is tired of the run down, low quality places that seem to be on every street corner around Atlanta. Decent Cal-Mex but nothing to write home about... – Pure is more of a Cal-Mex than authentic Mexican, but still good if you're in the mood for chips, salsa and tacos. I had the fish tacos and they were pretty good. My husband and I went here on a weekday afternoon when it wasn't busy; I don't think I'd be willing to valet and wait for a table during happy hour or dinnertime. I would agree with some of the other reviews that the service isn't great-our waiter was nice but somewhat distracted. All in all, it's not a place I would crave, go out of my way to eat at or wait an extended period of time for a table. I'll keep searching for good authentic Mexican. Somewhere between Costco's premade mexican and lean cuisine – Run away from this restaurant if you are not fooled by the trendiness and the cool bar. This food is bland and the restaurant and staff has an arrogance about it. I've tried several times and have been disappointed. I'm not trying again. no taste what so ever – i can't believe people give this place more than 1 star. this place tried to be all modern and trendy but the food has always been terrible. it is bland. they try to make mexican different than the greasy delicious food that is is and it's totally flavorless. Fish Tacos are In the House! – Not on the main Alpharetta drag, but not hard to find is Pure. A local recommended it to us and that was the start of a fantastic relationship with the Mexican eatery. If you go during high times, you will be walking because parking is at a premium, but it is worth it! Have the fish tacos – just enough bite in the sauce. And if enjoying your meal outside work hours, order a margarita. Just one will do ya! Surprisingly great neo-Mexican in Roswell. – In Short Taking residence (and its name) from a refurbished gas station, this Roswell taco house does the whole “upscale taco and margarita joint” right. For starters, the gringo cheese dip with jalapenos is gooey and creamy with a bit of spice while house-made guacamole is a cool and refreshing counterpunch. First timers should stick to the tacos; the fried fish tacos with poblano slaw or brisket with pickled red onion are safe bets. The more experienced Pure patron might opt for a more complex entree like the gorditas de puerco, a pocket of super-soft pulled pork stuffed between two discs of thick but crispy corn tortillas. The specialty margaritas are pricey, though the tasty tequila-laden concoctions are worth it for an afternoon splurge or a date-night conversation enhancer Great margaritas, great food! – My girlfriend works here so I might be a little biased but Pure taqueria has very good food. I love mexican food and this is more upscale but still decent on the wallet. For appetizers you have to try the Jaiba (crab friiters) they are sensational! You cant go wrong with any of the apps really . Same is true with all their main dishes. They make the best quesadillas! The menu is small and simple. Their frozen margaritas are very very good. Strong too. I recommend pomegranite pr bannana. Bottom line is Pure makes great food. I suggest going there for lunch or early dinner and trying it out.

Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini’s weekly television show has been cut from one hour to 30 minutes. According to Big Ten rules, coaches shows are limited a half hour. So the Husker Sports Network will add a half-hour show called “Nside Nebraska” that will piggyback onto coaches shows. “Nside Nebraska” will run for [[phy_address]] through May. The show will follow Pelini’s show in the fall and men’s basketball coach Doc Sadler’s show in the winter.
KNOX, N.Y. - Police have identified the driver of a truck that crashed in Albany County last week, burning for an hour before the wreckage was discovered. The Albany County Sheriff's Office says the victim of the crash is 21-year-old Matthew Arnold of Berne. Officials say calls came in around 5 a.m. Wednesday morning for a vehicle that overturned on Route 146 in the town of Knox. By the time the paramedics arrived, the fire had already ceased, and Arnold was severely burned. Sheriffs say that it's been discovered Arnold had been drinking in at least two area bars prior to the accident. They say Arnold was even kicked out of one bar for being too intoxicated. Police say Arnold then took the truck from a friend he was staying with and was trying to drive himself to another friend's home in Schoharie when he crashed. Speed is the confirmed factor in causing the accident. Police say beer bottles were also found on the floor of the vehicle.

The depth of our state's sinkhole outbreak is best viewed from above. In the last year alone, the cavernous monsters have gobbled up homes, resorts and, in one quick gulp, human life. The powerful force of nature is unstoppable, but understanding these hungry geological giants is the key to protection. So what are sinkholes? Why do they happen? And could one swallow up your back yard? Jacksonville University geologist Jeremy Stalker has been working to answer those questions for years. "Not enough rain or too much rain are the general culprits," he said. He says Florida's storms and droughts cause a rapid rise and fall in ground-water tables. When the water table dries up, it leaves nothing to support the limestone above it. If there's not a lot of sediment on top of that limestone, it can cave. In Jacksonville, geologists say we don't see as many sinkholes because we tend have a thicker layer of sediment on top of our rock. Local insurance claims reveal at least [[phy_address]] opened up in just the past two years, from the Westside all the way to the Saint Augustine area. Professor Stalker showed me where a documented sinkhole forced a Jacksonville family out of their home on the Westside last year. The home may be sinking slowly, but he says sooner or later it could cave. "One day, all of this will give way and this concrete will go in with it," he said. It's how most sinkholes in our area are born. Stalker says there's even more that haven't been reported. But there are warning signs. "That's one of the first signs that there's something going on there's some kind of settling under the foundation," he said. Cracks in your foundation are a good indicator that the ground beneath you could be moving. So are higher water bills. "Pipes underneath your house can leak," he said. "If there's nothing there holding your pipe up, it will flex and start to leak." Hiring an inspector with a ground penetrating radar is the only way to determine if a sinkhole is actually the culprit like it was on Gullege Drive, but any area that sits on top of limestone is susceptible, and that's anywhere in Florida, so geologists recommend you keep your eye on the ground.

for the Linux 3.13, which included new power management and re-clocking code for this open-source NVIDIA driver. Prior to David Airlie sending in the DRM pull request a few hours ago, a few more Nouveau changes were merged. The second Nouveau DRM pull for the Linux 3.13 kernel is mostly bug-fixes over the big update in the first round that enables fan management by default and begins tackling Fermi/Kepler GPU re-clocking. The only notable change with this second pull is page-flipping fixes that lead to the Nouveau driver finally supports it to be synced to vblanks except in cases where they're asynchronous page flips.

Muslim athletes and Ramadan STEPHON JOHNSON Amsterdam News Staff \| 8/10/2012, 10:21 a.m. Back in 1990, when Akeem Olajuwon added an "H" to the beginning of his first name and became a more observant Muslim, it began the stage of his career where he played basketball games during the month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, practitioners of the Muslim faith go without food or drink from sunrise to sundown. While Olajuwon's statistics didn't fall drastically while playing games during Ramadan, the issue has once again resurfaced during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. With over 3,000 Muslim athletes in the Olympics, Ramadan and Muslim athlete have made their way to mainstream media. In late May, the New York Times ran a feature on Muslim athletes competing in this year's Olympics, leading the story with Qatari sprinter Noor al-Malki making her Olympic debut while worrying about the challenges of competing during Ramadan. "You have to respect Ramadan, but I want to make a new national record. If there is a problem with that, I will not make Ramadan," al-Malki told the Times. In abstaining from food, drink and other physical needs from sunrise to sunset, Ramadan is seen as a time for Muslims to reevaluate their connection to Allah and remind themselves of self-sacrifice. While the holy holiday isn't just about food and drink, the cafeterias in the Olympic Village in London offer halal foods 24 hours a day, and special snack packs are available for Muslims to take. Muslim athletes who can't make it usually wait until the next month to fulfill their obligations. Some countries, however, like Egypt through the Al Azhar University in Cairo, have told athletes that they didn't have to fast during the Olympics. Regardless, the choice is usually left up to the individual athlete. Al Jazeera sports correspondent Lee Wellings spoke with National Public Radio (NPR) about how Egypt handled their situation. "You look at Egypt as an example of a nation that decided to give guidance to its athletes to talk about how it would be permissible in their eyes to break fasting," he said. "They took a lot of religious guidance on this. They spoke to high-up people and clerics and people in the country who actually advised the Olympic bosses and then passed it down through the athletes." While some have made the decision to forgo fasting this month and wait for the month after the Olympics to finish their religious obligation, the Moroccan soccer team decided that they would fast during the games. Wellings explain to NPR how it might be a bit easier to do so within a team concept. "On one hand, being part of a team gives you the chance to actually not be reliant on your own physical ability full stop. So if you're a marathon runner, or a 10,000-, 5,000-meter runner, all the advice I've heard, everything that nutritionists and experts have said to me is, I don't think they're going to be able to do this. They're certainly not going to be able to compete. It might even be dangerous." However, Imam Khalid Latif of the Islamic Center at New York University had a different perspective. In a column on the Huffington Post's website as part of his series of reflections on Ramadan, Latif said he looked to his sister for guidance. "There seems to be a lot of conversation these days on Muslim athletes at this year's Olympics and the tough choice they face in fasting during Ramadan or not," wrote Latif. "Growing up, I played football and ran track since I was around 12 and the decision to fast while I was practicing or playing never really came up. This wasn't because I was particularly devout or committed to my faith per se. Mostly it was because I saw my sister fasting while she played basketball, so I just did what she did." The ninth month of the Muslim year is always a source of challenge and celebration. Ramadan this year has proven to be no different.

MENDOZA is a mostly low-rise city, spread across the wide valley of the Río Mendoza, over 1000km west of Buenos Aires and less than 100km east of the highest section of the Andean cordillera – whose perennially snowcapped peaks are clearly visible from downtown. Its airy microcentro is less compact than that of most comparable cities, partly because the streets, squares and avenues were deliberately made wide when the city was rebuilt in the late nineteenth century, to allow for evacuation in the event of another major earthquake. Another striking feature is that every street is lined by bushy sycamore and plane trees – providing vital shade in the scorching summer months, they are watered by over 500km of acequias, or irrigation ditches, which form a natural, outdoor air-cooling system. Watch out, though, when you cross the city's streets, as the narrow gutters are up to a metre deep and often full of gushing water, especially in the spring when the upland snows melt. The city has an attractive park and one or two museums that are worth taking a visit, but most people come to Mendoza principally to do a wine-tasting tour at the many bodegas in or near the city.

As Europe struggles to contain its debt crisis, the name of an American dead for more than two centuries is being invoked by those who think euro area nations will have to trade some autonomy for fiscal stability. One of the strangest pamphlets ever authored by an American public official appeared in 1797. Written by Alexander Hamilton -- a founding father and the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury -- its title constituted a mini-essay in its own right. Bank of New York Mellon Corp. plans to sell Manhattan’s 1 Wall St., the Art Deco skyscraper that serves as its corporate headquarters, and has hired brokers to find a smaller amount of space to lease elsewhere. What will it take to fix a European Union troubled by heavy debts and internal friction? The story of the U.S., which celebrates its 235th year of independence on July 4, offers a parable that Europe’s leaders might find instructive. Lin-Manuel Miranda, whose funny, hypnotic rhyming has taken him from “In the Heights” to the cusp of mainstream stardom, has set his sights on the first U.S. Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton. What books have high-profile readers been enjoying this year? Bloomberg's Sara Eisen reports on a story in the latest issue of Bloomberg Businessweek on the enduring appeal of Alexander Hamilton. 208 years after his death, Hamilton has a diverse modern-day fan club from the Tea Party faithful to Paul Volcker and multiple Facebook pages dedicated to "The Foxiest Federalist." She speaks on Bloomberg Television's "Inside Track." (Source: Bloomberg) “Crucify him!” shouted people crowding the courthouse as the prisoner arrived. Levi Weeks was on trial for the murder of Elma Sands, a young Quaker girl who lived in the same boardinghouse. She’d been strangled, her body dumped into a Manhattan well just before Christmas, 1799. "To procure all such machines as are known in any part of Europe can only require a proper provision and due pains."

How To Listen To Classical Music: Asian Girls Dancing & Twerking To Classical Music (Source: selcose) “Once you’ve met someone, you never really forget them.” (Source: mareep.tea.jp) Erik Johansson (Sweden/Germany) Erik Johansson is a full time photographer and retoucher from Sweden based in Berlin, Germany. He works on both personal and commissioned projects and creates sometimes street illusions. Erik creates realistic photos of impossible scenes - capturing ideas, not moments: “To me photography is just a way to collect material to realize the ideas in my mind. I get inspired by things around me in my daily life and all kinds of things I see. Although one photo can consist hundreds of layers I always want it to look like it could have been captured. Every new project is a new challenge and my goal is to realize it as realistic as possible.” Erik has been invited to speak at the TED conference in London on how something can look real but at the same time be impossible. © All images courtesy the artist [more Erik Johansson] \| \| Anonymous asked: do u have a gf? or do u like anyone?

Man Who Admitted To Making LSU Bomb Threat Gets Harsh Sentence The fake bomb threat cost LSU $1.4 million. The fake bomb threat cost LSU $1.4 million. Tigers and Horned Frogs open the season August 31st. LSU's annual football fan day will be held on Sunday, Aug. 11 at the Maravich Assembly Center and new LSU basketball practice facilities. If you think this facility is over the top then you know nothing about big time college football. Most major players in the NCAA have facilities that are very similar to these at the University of Alabama. It is only fair they build these places so nice because the purpose of a university is to win championships at the expense of education. The Cook Hotel and Conference Center at LSU has a beautiful Steinway Piano on display through July 30, painted by Acadiana native George Rodrigue - too cool! Shaquille O'Neal, a former LSU and NBA star, used his induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches to make a special announcement that would impact the lives of many families here in Louisiana. Two town halls, one in Abbeville and the other in Crowley, will be held by Lafayette Congressman Charles Boustany on Monday, July 1st. LSU icons Shaquille O'Neal, Tommy Hodson and Kevin Mawae will all be inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame this Saturday in Natchitoches - congrats!! Management of the university hospitals in Lafayette, New Orleans, Houma and Lake Charles is slated to be turned over to private control next week even though some of the financial details are not wrapped up.

Legislation introduced in Congress on May 19 would require employers with 15 or more workers to provide at least seven days of paid sick leave per employee per year. The so-called “Healthy Families Act” would guarantee workers at least one paid hour off for every 30 hours worked. Employees could use the paid time off to deal with their own illness, or that of a child, spouse, parent or loved one. A similar bill stalled during the Bush administration, but has a better chance now. Business groups are opposed. Two jurisdictions—San Francisco and the District of Columbia—already mandate paid sick leave. More than a dozen states are debating similar measures this spring.

The election of President Barack Obama has set in motion high expectations that he will undertake systematic reform of the US health care system in his first term. Such reform must address 3 persistent problems: the uninsured, the high and rapidly increasing cost of care, and significant lapses in quality. Having studied these problems for more than 40 years, I would like to share in this Commentary some conclusions about reforming health care in the United States. Before suggesting what should and should not be done, however, it is important to learn from the failure of the proposed health reform in 1993.

The humans have weighed in and, as the robots said previously, it’s a tie. The summer’s first poll conducted by human beings (the past two were robo polls – “push one for Democrat, two for Republican” etc.) shows the Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich just about neck and neck with three months and change to go before Election Day. O’Malley led Ehrlich took 45-42 in the Gonzales Research & Marketing Strategies Inc. poll, with the margin well inside the 3.5 percent margin of error. Eight percent of those surveyed said they were undecided. “The race for governor as of late July is really close. Incumbent Governor O’Malley has a slight lead in our poll, but it’s clear that either candidate could win in November,” the firm wrote.

On 17 September 2004, Craig Kaston attended the Pt. Mugu Open House, and found a derelict Firebee named 'Orange Crush'. Craig was told it was a training article for air and sea recovery. As you can see, it went through some hard times! 'Orange Crush' has since been moved and is no longer in this area at Mugu. Craig also remembered seeing this very Firebee in the 90's under DC-130 570461 at a Point Mugu open house. A older slide showed 'Orange Crush' in a more original condition. It was all orange originally, and the tail was marked as 'TV-2' (Test Vehicle 2). Judging from the rear fuselage details (sheet metal covered flashers, two small inlets, louvers), TV-2 was an AQM-34K originally. Later in its life other leftover parts had been grafted on giving it a mis-mashed look. It appears that the complete forward fuselage of an AQM-34M (Model 147SD) was used, identifiable through its unique film reel bulges. The camera window configuration appears to be correct for an AQM-34M, however the radome is not correct for this model. Later, Craig concluded that the nacelle once belonged to an AQM-34L. It shows bare metal seams and panel joins, and this typical sanding was only performed on the eight L models used in the 'North Warning' system tests performed in Alaska in May-July 1989. Because of the composite airframe, the paint scheme of the Firebee combines the standard Air Force light grey on the front fuselage with some kind of high-visibility orange on the center and rear fuselage. Both sides of the fuselage feature the 'Orange Crush' nickname, and on the rear right fuselage the name 'Earth Seeking Missile' is seen, or 'E S M' if you view it from a distance. If you look closely, you will also see eyes painted on the sides of the film reel bulges! In the background of one-but-last shot is a pallet with interesting stencilling. This may or may not be the identity of some parts of 'Orange Crush'. The serial number fits nicely in a known AQM-34L serial block (70-1057/1185), and the tie-up with the factory sequence number SD-8 agrees with one other known tie-up, being 70-1149 / SD-42 (or M-42L).780__ AQM-34M In 2008, Craig identified 'Orange Crush' as 67-21639, based on a photo.

Flood vs Flash Flood Flood and flash flood are natural disasters created by the changes in the weather that are causing calamities in the world. Be it because of recurring storms, hurricanes, tropical cyclones and heavy rains from monsoons and some tropical depression, flood is always expected as the incoming result. Flood is the general term for the catastrophe that is basically defined as an overflow of water from lakes and rivers that eventually covers a large width of land that is not covered with water in a normal time being. Floods Floods can damage houses and establishments that are near to flooded areas. This catastrophe can take away lives, too. These possibilities can be easily eliminated if one pursues to live or build something far from places with large water banks like rivers. However, majority of people believe that living somewhere near to places with waters could be a gain of a cheap living expenditure. This is the reason why many people, especially those with families, still chose to inhabit places that are threatened of flood damage. The cost of flood damage and the rate of death exceeds every time a periodic flooding repeats. Flash Floods Flash flood is one extreme type of flood that is categorized within the fast kinds of reverine flood. The ‘flash’ attached to the term refers to its rapid effect. This type of flood is found to be the result of convective moisture from air or from waters, like rain and snow, that are falling from the sky. Some other types of flood include: Slow kinds of riverine flood – Sufficiently defined as the overflowing of water from its boundaries that is caused by heavy rains and unexpected melting of ice especially those that are coming from elevated areas like mountains. Estuarine and Coastal flood – These are almost similar with each other since their causes are from sea hazardous storms. An offshore elevation of water, commonly called as storm surge, falls in this category regardless of the cause. Catastrophic flood – This is a kind of flood that results from a series of particular misfortunes. For an instance, during earthquake or a volcanic eruption, undesirable events like dam breakage may happen, which will eventually result to catastrophic flood. Muddy flood – This type of flood is cause by a runoff that is accumulated on cropland. Muddy floods of massive movements are one the most dangerous catastrophes since it carries sediments of suspended objects from land. There are numerous ground-breaking effects that come with floods. Bad effects are truly heart-breaking but there are some good effects, as well. It can kill lives; it will destroy our means of living and can be the cause of certain waterborne diseases. Positive effects are from smaller, frequently occurring floods, like fertilizing the soil, recharging grounds with insufficient rate of moisture and fishes can travel across new habitats, too. \| \| In brief: 1. Flash flood is another type of flood that is rapid in the manner of elevating water to lands. 2. Flood is a general term; flash flood is one of its types and is very specific when it comes to causes.

ce, My stepmom did this with my brothers bedroom when they were little. They had a giant Lugia over their beds. I wish I still had pictures, but we moved out of that house around 2003 and the new owners probably painted it over.
Sometimes, despite all of mankind's progress, we do things that suggest we're not that far removed from the great apes. But why must we do them in job interviews? From taking personal phone calls to picking personal toenails, some job candidates are surprisingly good at finding new and exciting ways to crush the windpipe of opportunity. I was reminded of this by a recent survey from Express Employment Professionals, an Oklahoma-based staffing company. It surveyed 300 hiring managers, asking about the worst things a candidate can do in an interview. That yielded of list of deal killers, including lying about your experience, answering a cell phone and showing up late. Texting is a bad idea, as is smoking and talking smack about your former colleagues or boss. So I wondered what Florida managers have seen. When recruiters get a few drinks in them, when they're trying to one-up peers with, "You-won't-believe-this" stories, what tales do they tell? Pam Nabors is the president and CEO of Workforce Central Florida, the Orlando area's publicly funded jobs agency. She's been in the business for more than 20 years, both in Florida and Connecticut. Nabors once interviewed an amateur comedian looking for work. She mistook it as an audition and started telling jokes. That's odd, but less creepy than the response from an applicant who was asked where he saw himself in two years. "It didn't matter," he told a Workforce agent, "because the world will end before then." So if you have unused vacation time, you need to use it. Vivian Godwin, Workforce's online learning coordinator, once had an applicant who claimed to speak seven languages. When pressed, he admitted that wasn't entirely true. He knew "words from seven languages." Godwin also interviewed a would-be bookkeeper, asking what she did when she discovers she's made a mistake. Her response? "If there was an error, it was the fault of the computer." Now, that's brass. Recruiter Pam Picard had a job candidate show up with her dog – the work had nothing to do with pets – and another who submitted a resume identical to one turned in earlier. Same companies, same positions, same dates. Only the name and address were different. I "called her to question her about it," Picard said. "She never called back." Imagine. Sandi Vidal runs the Casselberry-based Central Florida Employment Council. In another life, she worked in human resources at the now-defunct Circuit City. Vidal is a kind soul with little patience for full-frontal stupidity. So some of the applicants who've come to her, never had a chance. There was the guy who took a 20-minute phone call from another recruiter during his interview with Vidal. There was the preacher's son who, when asked about drug use, said he partied only "occasionally."

My twin sister grew up with the reputation of being the tomboy of the family, the sporty one who participated in soccer and other organized sports. I was the brain and artsy one, who spent more time practicing my scales and arpeggios on our baby grand piano and perfecting pirouettes in the dance studio. I was intimidated by sports. And I found that I had absolutely no coordination once you threw a ball into the competition. So out were softball, volleyball, soccer, and pretty much every other sport. I swam during the summer and for my high school, and I started running in junior high, but just to lose enough weight to stop my period (I was a tad anorexic). I continued jogging and swimming through college into early adulthood. But just to stay in shape. Not to push myself. And then an odd thing happened. I was running around the Naval Academy one morning … in my mid twenties … and this 80 year old passed me. I said something to him like “Whoa, Dude. Where do you think you’re going?” My ego couldn’t take it. So he asked me to join him. By the end of the five-mile run I was gasping for air. He told me it was good to push yourself. (He was a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Marines.) You learn a lot about yourself. And he ordered me to show up again the next day. So I did. And before you know it, he had talked me into training for a marathon. Yes, that’s 26.2 miles. I got to 18 miles and had to back out due to a knee injury, but I was astounded that I could run that far. I continued to train for other events: the Annapolis 10-miler, a sprint triathlon, and others. And I made it past the finish line! The Marine was absolutely right. It did nurture self-esteem: the process of pushing yourself to a place you didn’t think you could go, and then all of sudden you are there … at the spot where your family and friends greet your sweaty self. And that sensation of triumph, the athletic high after an event, drives you toward others. Now I’m swimming with a group of athletes who are preparing for the Great Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Yes, a whopping 4.4 miles of kicking and stroking in the water. I didn’t sign up in time, so I’m not registered. But, by training with these sharks, I am amazed that I can swim over 4500 yards and still function throughout the day. In her new book, “Run Like a Girl: How Strong Women Make Happy Lives,” Mina Samuel writes: I discovered serious running at age twenty-seven and now participate in road races, marathons, and triathlons. I also hike, kayak, climb, do yoga, cross-country ski, and snowshoe; and as many other things as I can that get me outside in the fresh air, sun, rain, wind, and snow. Over the years that followed my “discovery” of running, my self-confidence grew, and feeding off the accomplishments I achieved in sports—setting new personal bests, winning a little local race, surviving the setbacks of injuries and marathons gone wrong—I discovered a capacity within myself that I never knew I had. I wasn’t just physically stronger than I expected, I thought of myself as a different person, as someone with more potential, broader horizons, bigger possibilities. I saw that I could push myself and take risks, not just in sports, but elsewhere, too. The competition in sports, as in life, was not with someone else, it was with myself. To “compete” was to discover my own potential to do better, to hold my own self to a higher standard, to expect more of myself—and deliver. As William James, the nineteenth-century American philosopher, said, “Human beings, by changing the inner beliefs of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.” That’s it, I think. That’s why sports can be a powerful tool of transformation: they make you aware that your potential isn’t a set point, that you can do practically anything you set your mind to. I mean, hell, I may even be able to catch a ball if I tried. But in the mean time, I’m having too much fun seeing how far I can swim, and making sure I outpace the old farts at the Naval Academy.

I have always been athletic but never really pushed myself. After unsuccessfully training for two marathons (only getting to mile 13 because of my knee) I thought about giving up. Until last year when I discovered swimming again and did my first triathlon at age 47. It was one of the best days of my life! Not only did I get the high from completing the triathlon but also my husband and teenage kids were there watching me. For once, they were watching me do something! \|report abuse\|\| \| posted May 15, 2011 at 9:20 pm Therese, love your latest picture, so flattering and emphasizes both your inner and outer beauty.

I’m pushing myself everyday just to go to work, take a walk at lunch for 30 min and back home, I have no more energy to that, I’m really frustrated, I’ve been trying everything, thanks God that i still have a job of 20 years, that i could kind of work in my own paste, otherwise I’ll be on the street. It is very difficult no one understands me. This is very difficult, and I don’t even have energy to meet people who would understand me. I’m single mom, and been working all my life, but now every morning it seems that the job doesn’t matter, nothing maters no more, I’m exhausted, I would just stay in bed. Any advise. On the other note I agree with Peg. Therese I love your new picture, you look beautiful, I read your blog everyday, well done for people like me, you bring new hope. Thanks to your blog I’m still trying to be positive and move forward, but it is very difficult. Thank you. Please keep up the good work. \|report abuse\|\| \| posted May 20, 2011 at 8:50 am Hi Maria, I am glad you are making an effort to be active outside. Everything counts, even 30 min walks home. You say that you lack friends or at least people who understand your condition. I am sure you can find a support group for people with Fibro in your community or at least a virtual community of Fibro bloggers.I think you will feel more understood and supported here. The one thing I forgot to mention in my last letter to you is that perhaps you can enlist the help of your children or your siblings around the house or walk/ run with them outside. This will motivate you more to do it. Try to delegate tasks at home so you have more time for yourself. I make a chore list for my daughters every week and they “sign up” for the jobs they want to do and negotiate them among themselves. My kids are 13 and 15. They recycle, separate laundry, do the dishwasher, walk and feed the dog and help in the yard. Stress comes from not taking care of your needs. You are a better mom, friend,colleague after you have taken care of your needs. Otherwise, one can get grumpy. Is there any way you can take some time off or a couple of mental health days at work? What makes you happy, what makes you feel refreshed? Last but not least, have you tried yoga? I am a yoga instructor and I have had a few students in the past with fibro and they all said how much the yoga practice has helped dissipate fatigue and have changed their outlook about themselves and life in general. Best of luck Maria! I. \|report abuse\|\| \| posted May 30, 2011 at 10:24 am Therese, Your words are a daily encouragement to me, although I don’t comment nearly enough. Thank you for sharing your journey with those of us who are on a similar path. Sports and exercise have been one of the most consistent sources of strength for me. In fact I was finding strength and sanity in running before I even knew that was what I was doing. Thanks again. Sean p.s.

Travel Blogs from Piano di Sorrento Capri Day Trip (Day 4) Today we were taking a ferry out of Sorrento to the Isle of Capri. Our wake up call was at 6:30 a.m., breakfast at 7:00 a.m. We walked to the marina and took the ferry over to the island. Once we arrived at Capri, those of us who elected the optional boat cruise around the island headed off for a couple hours around the gorgeous island. … Vatican City, Pompeii & Sorrento (Day 3) Today was our first full day on tour with Contiki. Our wake up call was at 6:00 a.m., breakfast at 6:30 a.m., and bags on the coach and departing by 7:15 a.m. It was going to be an extremely busy day. Normally the Simply Italy tour visits Vatican City at the end of the tour but the day we normally would go happened to fall on the Pope's holiday so … Transition from Tourist to Tour Guide Well, my parents have come and gone, just as the calendar tells me has the halfway point of my time here in Sorrento. How is time moving so quickly? I feel as though I’ve accomplished so much in time here, yet so little at the same time. I noticed the transition this past week. That shameless American tourist I described myself as in the first week? Well, I would use some different adjectives after two ... "Thats Amore" The home of Limoncello and pizza ... that comes through the entrance. The island has a green and white grotto also. We made our way back to Anacapri and where some of us took the chair lift to the summit of the mountain. The view from the top was spectacular, but one side was shrouded in cloud (we travelled through the cloud on the chairlift, quite strange). The return trip via tiny buses and narrow roads, and fast ferry got us back to Sorrento for some dinner ... Fabulous ancient Pompei: a lot more walking!! ... what I had read, the ruins are quite well provided for in terms of toilet facilities!!! I think they have added more in the last year or so from what I heard. We could also fill up our water bottles at the many fountains in the ruins served by the modern day aqueduct. Good, cold water! Lovely on a hot day. Lello drank nothing at all. I guess he's used to it. And no hat either. And he told us he was doing another tour half and hour after he finished our tour. Goodness ... How has this hotel rated in the past?

Sheamus Weighs In On The Rock’s Semi-regular Returns, The Shield’s Impact On WWE Sheamus joined Chad Dukes of CBS Radio 106.7 the Fan & ChadDukesWrestlingsShow.com for an interview promoting the Royal Rumble. Sheamus discusses delivering a White Noise to the Big Show, The Royal Rumble, The Rock, The Shield, and Magners vs. Guinness. Highlights from the interview are as follows: The Rock: “I personally think it’s a great thing when the Rock comes back for the simple reason that having someone like him come in, a movie star, what he’s done in WWE, it definitely brings an audience back who may have drifted away, who were there in the Attitude era drifted away to other things. It’s a great way of bringing them back in and giving us the current crop of superstars a lot of attention. People may argue “well there’s one less spot in Mania.” Well guess what, pull your socks up and do what you can to get into the show.” The Shield’s impact on WWE: “I think it’s been a huge impact. Obviously I’ve had my issues with them, Randy, Team Hell No and Ryback. I think they’re three future individual stars right there. I think Ambrose himself is quirky and he’s got that kinda crazy persona going on, I think he’s definitely gonna be kinda like a Roddy Roddy Piper type character. I think he’s gonna be a big player in the future. I also think Roman Reigns definitely has something as well. He’s big, impressive, kinda reminds me of the Rock, when he first came in. He’s definitely got that stature & that presence about him. Obviously Seth, he’s been around the block as well, done some cool things and he can definitely go in the ring.” The audio interview is available here.

When I first picked up Southern Fate I thought because the author was an attorney it was just another legal thriller, but the opening didn’t neatly fit into the thriller formula. I read on thinking perhaps it was a mystery but the first body didn’t show up until Chapter 9. Obviously not a mystery, so I read on and suddenly it swept me up and blew me away like a hurricane. The genre was literary and quintessentially Southern with elements of both mystery and thriller. The novel centers on the inner story of a South Carolina attorney Frank Rhodes and the journey to his fate and fortune. Introduced as a rather pathetic character Frank Rhodes is an accident prone klutz and a mediocre lawyer whose only passion is hunting and fishing. The only thing making him worthy of attention is his extreme good looks. Suddenly things change for Frank in a big way when he lands a windfall judgment instantly propelling him into the national spotlight. On the road to money and fame he soon learns the bad news his wife is leaving him for another women. And things get complicated quickly when a serial arsonists plaguing the city with one of the first victims being a member of Frank’s non-traditional family. Meanwhile his brother teaches him an unorthodox method on how to get develop rhythm to thereby overcome his clumsiness, a lifelong affliction. There is much going on in Southern Fate with numerous subplots. The book is full unexpected plot twists and Boger takes the reader into areas past traditional Southern writers feared to tread. He incorporates several popular motifs commonly found in Southern literature including sense of family and sense of place. However we see some newer motifs developing. For example the non-traditional family and same sex relationships. At a young age Frank’s father was killed by a burglar. His mother and another single windowed mother with a son of similar age merged households to form a non-traditional family headed by two women. While these women are heterosexual another non-traditional family with young children taking root when Frank’s wife leaves him for her same sex lover with young children. These types of non-traditional modern family models are uncommon in traditional Southern literature but realistically capture today’s society. Lesbian relationships have rarely been openly presented in such openly fashion and again capturing the dynamics of today’s modern families. Another traditional motif is the sense of place. Southerners are exceedingly proud of their region and as social historian Carl N. Degler once described the South as a region “where roots, place, family and tradition are the essence of identity”. All of which are apparent in Southern Fate which in this jet age moves from Columbia to Charleston, New York, the Bahamas and Costa Rica. However, make no mistake the stories beginning, middle, and end are deeply rooted in Columbia, and Boger does not spare the details of Columbia’s rich Civil War history recounting the tales of Sherman’s march. Indeed the ghost of the War against Northern Aggression and the horrors Columbia faced under Sherman conjures up a deus ex machina villain the serial arsonist. Like Bo Radley suddenly arriving on the scene and not a moment too soon. This is perhaps the books one major shortcoming. We never get to know the villain or his motivations only that he has targeted women belonging to the Daughters of the Confederacy in the name of Sherman. There are no red herrings or clues to suggest anything about the character and his motivations. The villain emerges in the end and disappears in a puff of fire and flames. As a reader in the end I was left frustrated with too many questions as was Frank. Perhaps this was the author’s intent. As social issues and politics evolve with time so does a society’s literature, and Southern Fate stands as an exemplary work of modern Southern literature. The author is a practicing attorney, the father of three. He and his wife live in Columbia where he studied law. He also holds a degree in English from the University of Virginia. Brian Boger pushes the boundaries and thereby expands the conventional motifs placing him among the vanguard of new Southern writers. I would dare suggest being on the future lookout for Brian Boger. He expects to release his second title in 2014. When asked about the project, he says “the working title is Champagne Friday. It’s another legal thriller type book with some (surprise) literary themes like loss, redemption, vindication, and young men leaving their Bacchanalian Rite of Passage behind them for good women. It’s a humdinger of a book developing strong female characters appealing to a broader female audience. The women are cool.” If the women are anything like the men of Southern Fate it should indeed be a humdinger. Southern Fate is an incredibly delightful read, rich with local color and chocked with quirky characters. Boger’s voice and style are a cross between John Gresham and John Brendt. The state capital Columbia might want to get behind their adopted favorite son because Southern Fate could very well do for Columbia what Midnight In the Garden of Good Evil did for Savannah.

King while he was promoting his debut novel at the Black Writers and Book Clubs Literacy Festival in Memphis, Tennessee. Mario was also honored for his community service to literacy. His novel The Crisis Before Midlife is a romance and while it has some flaws the author has done a commendable job as a male writer in the romance genre showing what a man wants in romance. The protagonist a young man, Malcolm Turner is a teacher, an aspiring writer and a single parent. The Crisis Before Midlife is a romance chronicling his search for love. It’s often a given what the female protagonist wants, that perfect man, the perfect love, a home and a lasting relationship. And Malcolm Turner is no different. Malcolm an eligible bachelor has the same desires but too many distractions i.e. women and the remnants of too many failed relationships. So when Malcolm finds the one relationship he wants to work it gets derailed when an ex comes on the scene. The resulting assignation destroys his chance or does it? Malcolm has hopes and plans for the future and a young daughter who needs a mother. There are few men writing romance literature though it is the most lucrative genre of all the contemporary books sold today. And there is a reason men don’t dominate in this field. It requires delving into deep emotional territory an experience men often find saccharin and sappy. Mario King has done a good job of showing what a man wants in a relationship and the challenges a man faces when woman find him irresistible. King captures his home town Memphis with vivid descriptions of local spots. Authors like Mario are helping to take urban fiction to a higher level. This is a very good first book but I had some problems and they were all editorial. The first glaring warning came in the Author’s Note stating the book is a fictional novel, the classic faux pas of an untrained editor. Those in the know, know “fictional novel” is a no-no redundant term, all novels are fiction. Also some of author’s fashion descriptions and music are not organic to the scenes and often unnecessary and will date this book. I also thought the stylistic choice in diction could have been improved with a competent experienced editor. Nevertheless kudos to Mario D. King. All in all it’s a good and interesting read though slow at times. It could have been better had he amped up the conflict. The few flaws I found could have been addressed by any good developmental editor. I look forward to Mario’s next book. I think he has a great potential and I like would like to follow his development. I give it 4 stars.

Robert Griffin III was fine in his return to play, as the Washington Redskins won their sixth straight game Sunday, knocking off the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-20, to take a lead in the NFC East with only one week left to play. Griffin threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns, while Alfred Morris had 91 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Eagles made it close thanks to the best passing game of Nick Foles' young career, but it wouldn't be enough as Washington's 27-13 lead proved to be insurmountable. The Redskins were actually outgained, 411-313, but won the turnover battle two to one and sacked Foles five times. For Kevin Ewoldt of Redskins blog Hogs Haven, there were some concerns, but more positives to focus on before another huge game next Sunday. The Eagles put up a good fight. Is anyone else worried about the defensive tackling? The lack of pass rush was again a problem as Nick Foles had all day. Romo and Dez will surely put up more points. There's time to discuss that later in the week. Let's instead enjoy the Redskins' 6th consecutive win with the Giants still having to face a tough Ravens teams. A seventh consecutive win next week against the Dallas Cowboys would seal an NFC East championship and a postseason berth for the Redskins. It would be their first playoff appearance since 2007.

Algernon: Yes; but this isn't your cigarette case. This cigarette case is a present from some one of the name of Cecily, and you said you didn't know any one of that name. Jack lies to cover up his double life. A simple white lie that he doesn’t know anyone named "Cecily" gets him into an incredibly messy situation. When he’s forced to admit he does know a "Cecily," he tries to pass her off as his aunt. But Algy, a fellow Bunburyist, eventually sniffs it all out and forces Jack to confess. What is most surprising is that Jack seems to have no shame about the lies he’s been feeding to Algernon for years. \| Quote #2 \| Jack: […] When one is placed in the position of guardian, one has to adopt a very high moral tone on all subjects. It's one's duty to do so. And as a high moral tone can hardly be said to conduce very much to either one's health or one's happiness, in order to get up to town I have always pretended to have a younger brother of the name of Ernest, who lives in the Albany, and gets into the most dreadful scrapes. (I.83) Jack reveals the reason behind his deceit. His life is torn between duty and pleasure. Being dutiful is excessively boring to Jack, so he created his younger brother, Ernest. With Ernest, he has a means of escaping the drab life of a legal guardian into the more interesting world of a social London. \| Quote #3 \| Algernon: You have invented a very useful younger brother called Ernest, in order that you may be able to come up to town as often as you like. I have invented an invaluable permanent invalid called Bunbury, in order that I may be able to go down into the country whenever I choose. Bunbury is perfectly invaluable. If it wasn't for Bunbury's extraordinary bad health, for instance, I wouldn't be able to dine with you at Willis's to- night, for I have been really engaged to Aunt Augusta for more than a week. (I.88) Bunbury is Algernon’s version of Ernest. Like Jack, Algernon also uses excuses about Bunbury to get out of familial responsibilities – like dining with his Aunt Augusta. He practices deceit, like Jack, to avoid unpleasant situations and create more pleasant ones for himself.
Begin by finding a flat surface on which to lay the guitar. A table works well, but the floor works in a pinch. Position yourself in front of the instrument, with the guitar's sixth string closest to you. Completely slacken the sixth (lowest) string of the guitar, by turning the tuner. If you're unsure of which direction to turn the tuner to slacken the string, pluck the string before you begin turning the tuner. The pitch of the note should get lower as you slacken the string. Once the string has been completely slackened, uncoil it from the tuning peg at the head of the guitar. Next, remove the other end of the string from the bridge by removing the sixth string bridge pin from the bridge of the guitar. Commonly, bridge pins will provide some resistance when trying to remove them. If this is the case, use a pair of pliers and gently coax the bridge pin out of the bridge. Discard the old string. Using your cloth, wipe down any areas of the guitar you can't reach with the sixth string on the instrument. If you have guitar polish, now is the time to use it. It is important to note that some guitarists remove all strings from their guitar at once and then replace them. I highly advise against this procedure. The six tuned strings of a guitar produce a great deal of tension on the neck of the instrument, which is a good thing. Removing all six strings at once drastically changes this tension, which many guitar necks don't react well to. Sometimes, when all six strings are replaced, the strings will sit impossibly high off the fretboard. Change your strings one at a time to avoid a variety of issues.

New to the holiday lettings market in November 2013, the house has been redecorated, tastefully furnished and equipped, and is ideal for family holidays. Situated in a residential area, close to the centre of this historic and picturesque harbour town. Packed with maritime history, this popular sailing resort boasts a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes and sailing club. A great vantage point to admire the town, harbour and unspoilt coastline is Yarmouth's Victorian pier, which dates back to 1876 and is 700ft long. Of historical interest is Yarmouth Castle, built by Henry VIII as a coastal defence and the Town Hall rebuilt in 1764 was once used as a meat market until 1888. St.James Church (c1614) contains a fine white marble statue of Sir Robert Holmes, Governor of the Island in the late part of the 17th century. The Yar Estuary is close-by, attracting walkers and bird watchers alike. Take the cycle way to Freshwater, along the route of the former railway line, or enjoy a lovely, leisurely walk on a summer's evening. With the Yarmouth to Lymington car and passenger ferry docking in the harbour, holidaying with or without a car is easy. Places of interest and of outstanding natural beauty include The Needles, Alum Bay with its coloured sands, chair lift and Pleasure Park, and Tennyson Down. This bustling coastal town is an ideal place for holidays all year round. \|Size\|\|Sleeps up to 6, 3 bedrooms\| \|Access\|\|Car not necessary\| \|Family friendly\|\|Great for children of all ages\| \|Notes\|\|No pets allowed, No smoking at this property\| Features and Facilities \|Luxuries\|\|DVD player\| \|General\|\|Central heating, TV\| \|Utilities\|\|Dishwasher, Washing machine\| \|Rooms\|\|3 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms of which 1 Family bathrooms\| \|Furniture\|\|Single beds (2), Double beds (2), Dining seats for 6, Lounge seats for 6\| \|Other\|\|Linen provided, Towels provided\| \|Outdoors\|\|Private garden, BBQ\| \|Access\|\|Parking\| Guest reviewsPowered by TripAdvisor Guest reviews Powered by TripAdvisor - 5 star - 1 - 4 star - 0 - 3 star - 0 - 2 star - 0 - 1 star - 0 12 Mar 2014 "WOW" W - Welcoming.
