Today’s vintage wedding is one of my favorite’s ever. Maybe it’s because it’s written by Jenn of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Dress (she got married, you guys! Dday sent me a picture of the two of them together in their shared wedding dress, and I got all weepy, so expect more soon), and Jenn’s mom looks just like her. But I suspect it’s because, even though this wedding is from when I was just one-year-old, Elizabeth makes me feel like we’re best friends. Husbands who look up important dates incorrectly? Check. Hilarious wedding photographer stories? Love them. And weddings that are the start of something great? Bring it on…
We were married on a Sunday—originally because we couldn’t find a venue we liked on a Saturday on the weekend we wanted to get married even though we were booking a year ahead of the wedding.

I had left my husband in charge of checking the date and in the pre-internet days his research hadn’t been very thorough. (Yes, I’ve forgiven him but I haven’t forgotten.)

Adopting a New Flight Plan Whooping Crane Migration Route Shifted West into Safer Air Space

Jaipur: Government hospital doctors in Rajasthan called off their strike on Saturday night after Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot lifted the Rajasthan Essential Services Maintenance Act (RESMA) and released jailed doctors.
Seventy five patients died during the 11-day stir.

Gehlot on Saturday night ordered officials to lift RESMA and release all the jailed medicos.
Gehlot, chairing a high-level review meeting, also decided to set up a committee of five ministers to review the cases lodged against the agitating doctors under RESMA.

I’m willing to bet you never thought you would have to practice at home in order to use your car. Cadillac suspects some of you might need to in order to get used to their CUE system, the touch-based in-dash interface that will come in Cadillac’s 2013 line of cars. Of course, if it means you’ll get a free iPad thrown in with your car, it’s hard to complain.
Anyone who purchases a Cadillac XTS luxury sedan or ATS sport sedan will get an iPad with their vehicle, which will be customized and preloaded with apps that help to get the most out of CUE. The CUE app recreates the in-car CUE interface, allowing drivers to get used to the system while at home, which Cadillac hopes will ultimately make their new system easier to use and safer, in that there is less confusion created while the driver is actually behind the wheel.
The iPad will also come with a MyCadillac app and OnStar RemoteLink, which will include a direct link to CUE experts that can answer users’ questions about the new interface. Because iPads might be new to quite a few people, too, Cadillac is prepping a designated technology expert for each of their United States dealerships to prepare for | any confusion that might (will) arise.
It’s not clear whether or not there will be any restrictions on this free iPad, or to what extent it has been “customized” for Cadillac.

From Twitter and Tumblr to Facebook and Google+, there are a variety of social media sites that one can use these days. Although these websites serve different purposes, there is one that everyone should have: LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is a social media site specifically created for professional networking. You create a profile, upload a picture and enter some information about yourself and then you can search for others who work in your desired field. You can also be searched for based on any number of criteria and the connections you make here could lead to recruitment and employment opportunities. If you think you can use LinkedIn the same way you use other sites, however, you’ve got another thing coming. Here are a few tips for LinkedIn success.
Since you are essentially selling yourself to potential employers on LinkedIn, put the very best version of yourself out there. Start with a decent and professional picture – you don’t have to be in a suit or tie but no snapshots of you at a party or dressed provocatively should EVER be used. Also, be mindful of how you describe yourself: For example, in the hobbies and interest section, | don’t list “partying” – try “socializing” or “networking” instead. LinkedIn is very different from Facebook and to be taken seriously, you must promote yourself as such. Keep in mind that if you are questioning whether or | [

In a sense, Howard Schultz did what Steve Jobs and other great innovators have done, creating something that we didn’t really know we needed until we had it.

Netanyahu's 'Lousy Idea' Makes Front Pages

Brewers set pitching staff with latest cuts
The Brewers made another flurry of camp cuts on Monday that essentially set the team’s 12-man pitching staff for Opening Day and further clarified the three bench spots still up for grabs.
Milwaukee optioned infielder/outfielder Hernan Iribarren Triple-A Nashville, returned super-utility man Vinny Rottino to Minor League camp and informed nonroster pitchers Lindsay Gulin and Wes Littleton and catcher Carlos Corporan that they will not make the Opening Day roster. Gulin, Littleton and Corporan will travel with the team to Los Angeles for a pair of weekend exhibitions with the Dodgers and will also take part in team workouts in San Francisco next week before reporting to Triple-A Nashville to start the season.
The moves had a number of implications:
- The subtraction of Gulin and Littleton, combined with the news Monday that closer Trevor Hoffman had been placed on the disabled list with a ribcage injury, left the Brewers with 12 pitchers in camp. That meant roster spots for both Mark DiFelice and Jorge Julio, right-handed relievers who were competing for the final bullpen job.
With no additions from outside the organization over the next week, the staff will consist | of starters Jeff Suppan, Yovani Gallardo, Manny Parra, Braden Looper and Dave Bush (in that order to start the year) plus relievers Todd Coffey, DiFelice, Julio, Seth McClung, David Riske, Mitch Stetter and Carlos Villanueva.

When American pulp fiction journalist Juliette (Patricia Clarkson) travels to Cairo to meet her UN jetbug husband Mark (virtually-no-screen-time Tom McCamus) she ends up stranded in the city with Mark’s friend and local, Tareq (Alexander Siddig). Of course, Juliette and Tareq grow close through a mutual loneliness and embark on an emotional affair. And all in all, it’s a terribly dull film that plods along with lingering gazes, conversations and scenery, and garners the rather dubious title of the dullest opening ten minutes in film.
Patricia Clarkson’s notorious monotone and ‘subtle gazes of love’ (that in the real world would make you think she was either a couple of bob short of a dollar or taking the mickey) make the film feel like it is literally in slow motion, and Juliette and Tareq’s love affair has no spark, no tension, little humour and is ultimately unsatisfying. Neither the main characters have any charm that sets them apart from a cliche: the lonely Westerner meets handsome Eastern | er in a series of long conversations resulting in wan gazes into the middle distance.
The few themes that ‘Cairo Time’ attempts to explore are sketches to say the least, which seems odd considering there’s little storyline to dominate screentime, and issues such as the contrast of Eastern and Western cultures, poverty, loneliness, isolation and the transition between the old Cairo and the new, are splashed about at the shallow end of the paddling pool: | [

Shack man can advise you on electronics, state of downtown

Evanston economic development officials have devoted hours of discussion over the years on the state of downtown and what might be done to improve the area. We have found a way to short circuit the process: drop in at Radio Shack downtown when Sir Eric Henley is holding court.
Henley, 42, a 1989 graduate of Evanston Township High School, is the go to guy for the stream of students, business people and hopelessly technically inept reporters who stream into the store, at 716 Church Street, located close to the downtown’s center point.

We talked about possibly doing a sprint distance tri this summer ("sure, go ahead") and a half-marathon in late summer/fall ("a half marathon is a lot of training, you know" - says the man with multiple Chicago Marathon/Boston Marathon/Olympic-distance Tri medals all over the wall), and all of that is a go, as long as my foot cooperates.

Close Bowling Green gay-rights vote mirrors national debateWritten by Associated Press | | firstname.lastname@example.org
Thirty years ago, a vote like the one just decided in this university town wouldn’t have happened; gay-rights activism hadn’t taken root across most of America. Thirty years hence, such votes may seem a historical curiosity in a time of equality for gays.
Right now, though, the gay rights movement is at a tipping point, as epitomized by Bowling Green’s divisive referendum on extending anti-discrimination protections to gays. The vote was so close that it took three extra weeks to determine whether the two measures passed.
Nationally, gay-rights supporters and their conservative | opponents are trading victories and setbacks, and the public is deeply divided on same-sex marriage. Could the push for full equality be stalled or reversed? Probably not, if public opinion evolves at its current pace.

Jayaram M, et al. (1983) The yeast plasmid 2mu circle encodes components required for its high copy propagation. Cell 34(1):95-104
Abstract: The yeast plasmid 2mu and certain hybrid plasmids constructed from it are maintained stably and at high copy number in yeast cells. By examining various mutant hybrid 2mu plasmids, we show that these properties require the integrity of four plasmid loci. Two | of these, designated REP1 and REP2, are active in trans and correspond to two open coding regions of 2mu. The other two loci are active only in cis and correspond to the origin of replication and to a region, designated REP3, located several hundred bp away from the origin and consisting of direct repeats of a 62 bp sequence. We propose that the REP loci constitute a copy control system that overrides normal cellular restriction on plasmid replication and amplifies the plasmid when copy number is low.

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/School of Iona
Iona is the modern name derived by change of letter from Adamnan's Ioua; in Bede it is Hii; the Gaelic form is always I or Y, which becomes Hy by prefixing the euphonic h. This rugged, storm-swept island, three miles long and one in average breadth, and about a mile distant from the Ross of Mull, was next to Armagh the greatest centre of Gaelic Christianity — the latter was Patrick's city and primatial see; the former Columba's monastic city, a "primatial island", and the light of all the North. Yet closely connected with Ireland for at least 600 years it may be described as an Irish island in the Scottish seas. Columba, born in 521 landed with twelve of his monks at the southern extremity of the island — ever since called Porta Churraich, or the Bay of the Island — on Whitsun Eve 12 May, 563. Whether he | came to do penance for his share in the battle of Cuildreinhne two years before, or, as the Irish "Life" says, "to preach the Gospel to the men of Alba and to the Britons and to the Saxons" — which in any case was his primary purpose — we cannot now determine. It appears that he got a grant of the island from his relative Conall King of Dalriada. which was afterwards confirmed by Brude, King of the Picts, when the latter was converted by the preaching of Columba, who immediately set to work | [

The Book of Imaginary Beings
The copy I found is a 2nd printing from 1970 and seems to be exactly the same as the original 1969 edition. However, a new version was released in 2006 that includes updates and illustrations. From what I can tell, it contains a few additional monsters, as well as the most current information and even new spellings of some creature names. Hopefully the modern printing addresses some of the confusing references and omissions from the original, and I'd love to see an artists' interpretation of the creatures.
These wonderful beasts come from stories, myths and cultures all over the world, as well as a few plucked straight out of some well-known novels. Many of the classics are mentioned in their various forms: unicorns, dragons, fairies, etc. Some are particularly unique and often quite funny. Here's a few of my favorites:
Peryton - Apparently these strange folk are basically large birds with blue or green feathers | and the head and legs of a deer and are "mortal foes of the human race", according to the 16th century rabbi who translated the information from an ancient Greek scholar. Their original home was Atlantis, and they spent their time flying around the Columns of Hercules, attacking ships and killing men. At least one oracle predicted that they would wipe out Rome, but they were last spotted in Ravenna...

We know that there is no “I” in the word team.

Ask any standout athlete, or even get the diehard fan to start talking about their sport of choice, and many of them will laud their favorite sport as the ultimate team sport.

Why is it that the Bush administration, in its dying throes, looks remarkably more like an organized crime ring than one of the arms of the American government? A poorly organized and run crime ring, truly, but a crime ring nonetheless.
Why do I keep remembering the George Bush that I actually once voted for when he first ran for president — the one who talked of bringing in an administration that would look more like the face of America and of giving us a government whose appointees would be honest, upright, fair and moral.
Yes, that's the one. What happened to him? Where did that George Bush go? When did he go over to The Dark Side? What enticements did Vice President Darth Cheney offer him? Was it the vision of unlimited, unchecked power over the world?

(USA TODAY) -- Ventilation at five major U.S. airports with designated smoking areas does not protect passengers from the health risks of secondhand smoke, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says in warnings out Tuesday.
The CDC, in its first study comparing air quality at airports with and without smoke-free policies, finds pollution levels adjacent (within a meter, or 39 inches) to smoking areas five times higher than levels at airports that entirely ban smoking. Levels inside smoking areas, including bars and restaurants, were 23 times higher than at smoke-free airports.

Most would agree that the trend toward evidence-based medicine, and toward evidence-based continuing medical education, is a good one, that doctors should be basing their treatment decisions on the best available data, rather than anecdotal reports or their own personal experience.

We woke up at three thirty in the morning and left for the airport in the dark. We were exactly eighty pounds on our luggage, I can't believe it. Leaving is hard and although it's my first time doing so I expect it stays that way with the right people. I cried when I said goodbye to Mom, and if bad is the worst word of its kind, then I felt bad seeing her cry like that, but I'll just have to work hard and make my trip worth it. So I left them to watch me and at the security check I forgot where my toiletries were until Mom yelled out, they're on top, and I found Them and the line moved again.

Life Skills Center, last-chance school, to close due to state board vote
Life Skills Center lost its appeal yesterday before the State Board of Education, which sided with Denver Public Schools' decision to close the school. The last-chance high, which Westword profiled in 2007, will shut its doors after eight years of educating all who showed up on its doorstep, no matter how troubled, how discouraged or how far behind.
It was a tough decision. After two hours of testimony that sounded a lot like a contentious jury trial, the seven-member board voted 4-to-3 to uphold DPS's decision. "How much longer are we going to give a school like this?" asked board member Elaine Gantz Berman. She called the school's results, which show that an average of 16 percent of students graduate, "pretty horrifying."
Students, teachers and parents in the audience, all of whom clutched framed photos of smiling Life Skills graduates in blue and gold gowns | , looked deflated. At least one cried in the hallway. Principal Santiago Lopez, who took the school's top job in 2006 and turned around a previously complacent school culture, was disappointed.

The Tortoise, Achilles and
The protagonists of Lewis Carroll’s
famous paradox debate the merits
of fair value accounting.
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING IS HOT. Some
call it the best accounting approach since the invention of accrual accounting. Others consider it
the evil instigator of not only the current financial crisis
but also the earlier Enron and dot-com meltdowns. But
fair values, at least according to U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), have had to be disclosed
and used in many situations for several decades. Why is
it so controversial now?
Both the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) and the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) have concluded that fair values should be
applied to many classes of financial assets and financial
liabilities. Although recent discussions have centered
on | the valuation of assets, certain concepts related to
fair value might also be applied to many of the liabilities
with which actuaries are involved (the measurement of

One indication of which ones to avoid would be to take the numbers
you have to an industrial supply shop, and ask which | manufacturers
offer those bearing types and sizes in ABEC 7 grade. Most people are
unaware that there are seven bearing grades, ABEC 1 being the lowest
(and the most commonly used in automotive manufacture, BTW, with
ABEC 7 being the highest grade--those with the highest quality
control and the most precise tolerances). FAG is German, I believe,
NTN, Koyo, NSK are Japanese, while Timken, of course, is US-made.
All of those should have each available in the better grades.

According to ex-New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, "Colombia has probably the best cocaine, the best heroin, and the best marijuana in the world. And the best coffee".
Typically, coca thrives in warm, moist valleys between 1500 and 6000 metres above sea level. The plant grows to a height of up to eight feet. The leaves are rich in vitamins, protein, calcium, iron and fiber. The cocaine content of the leaves ranges from O.1% to 0.9%; like the user, it tends to get higher with altitude. Chewing coca also counters the symptoms of'mountain sickness' and oxygen-deprivation. The daily dose of the average coquero is around 200mg | .

When I joined UCF after leaving the University of North Carolina in 2010, the Central Florida Future published an opinion piece that challenged me to help lead UCF into a better tomorrow.
Nearly two years later, I’m more committed to that cause than ever. There’s been a focus on growth with quality during UCF’s nearly 50-year history, and I’ve been pleased to support that legacy during my tenure.
UCF continues to adapt its campus and curriculum to meet the changing needs of our students and community. But these past two years have also been very challenging for students, staff and faculty members and the university family.
These years have been challenging because the institutions that make up Florida’s state university system, including UCF, have been asked to do more with less. UCF believes in providing access to higher education to | qualified Florida residents, so our enrollment has grown even as state support for education has declined.

In the next few weeks, we will see the launch of arguably the biggest Android smartphone of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S4. And while most of the attention has been lavished upon Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S3 successor, several other big name Android smartphones have either arrived or are set to touch down in the month of March.
Since December, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been, perhaps, the most talked about smartphone of 2013. However, it won’t be touching down on shelves in March, meaning, those who are in the market for a smartphone this month, particularly an Android smartphone, won’t be able to buy it. Instead, consumers will be faced with a host of other devices.
The task of picking a new Android smartphone, especially now that 2013 is well under way is a daunting task to say the least.

SPORTS PEOPLE; Leonard May Return

''But people say, 'Well, Ray, two years of inactivity, | you'll be rusty.' No, no. He will eliminate the rust because he is what I want and I am what he wants. And boxing needs that kind of fight.''

Esposito lands own reality show
Jennifer Esposito has reportedly landed a reality TV deal
Blue Bloods star Jennifer Esposito has apparently landed a reality TV gig in the US.
The actress recently took to Twitter to vent when CBS bosses put her on medical leave from the police drama after her doctor advised her to cut back her workload.
But according to E! Online, the Coeliac sufferer has signed up to make appearances on an E! reality show, which is set to air next year. No further details were available.
Last month the star told Fox News that CBS kept her on contract and suspended her without pay rather than meet her request to work less days.
She also wrote on Twitter: "CBS... PUT me on unpaid leave and has blocked me from working anywhere else after my doc said u needed a reduced schedule due to celiac [sic]."

The Living Daylights: James Bond must ensure a senior Soviet defector’s safe escape from the country, then hunt down and kill a senior KGB agent, then find and foil the plans of a notorious arms dealer, then help an Afghan militia, then give a cellist the international break she deserves…
Almost 20 years after initially being approached to play Bond, Dalton finally gets his shot. I’ll put it out there straight away – I think Dalton’s great, and brings some much needed credibility back to the world’s greatest spy. This 007 is broodier, more intense, ruthless, dangerous again. He doesn’t care about the theatricalities, most evident when he charges through the immortal (but seemingly obligatory) “Bond… James Bond” line.
This new style is further aided by some of the bleakest scenes in the series so far; we see 004′s lifeless corpse bounce down a cliff and slam into a gutter, Bond’s ally get mauled by a glass sliding door. Bond also tears the clothes off a defenseless woman to form a | distraction… we truly believe he’s capable of anything that he’ll use his Licence to Kill at any point.
