Swansea City rounded off their pre season preparations with a well earned win against Ado Den Haag at the Liberty Stadium.
Jason Scotland started up front and it was encouraging to see him play for 62 minutes. Britton also returned from flu to start. It would be the tourists that would get the first clear cut chance to open the scoring when Karim Soltani headed the ball low towards Dorus De Vries' goal but the Dutchman was alert to the threat and saved the effort easily. Swansea were now beginning to get their passing game going and were unlucky not to have gone 1-0 up early on. Jason Scotland making his first start in pre season got into a good position to trouble Robert Zwinkels in the Den Haag goal. However the build up play did not match the final effort and Scotland dragged his shot wide of the keeper.
Swansea were unlucky not to break the deadlock soon after when Dorus De Vries started an | attack that deserved an end product. Fabien Brandy picked up the ball clear in space but the Manchester United youngster hesitated in getting his shot away, meanwhile his marker had tracked back with the | [

As befits its title, "The Tempest" is a whirlwind of emotion. Like none other of Shakespeare's plays, this brilliant mash-up of comedy and tragedy churns with errant themes of love, betrayal, music and magic. It's comparatively thin plotwise, however, as if the immortal Bard decided to give himself over to the passions of the heart without undue concern for the intellect.
In Richmond Shakespeare Theatre's merry and sometimes manic production of "The Tempest" at Agecroft Hall, the calm at the center of this storm is provided by Stephen Lorne Williams as Prospero.

As midnight approached on April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic was steaming confidently toward New York Harbor on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, with 2,224 passengers and crew members aboard.
Less than three hours later, the massive luxury liner that had been heralded as unsinkable lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean after hitting an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland, more than 1,500 of its passengers dead or on their way to perishing from exposure.
Among the casualties that night were some of the richest and most notable people of the times, including Astor fortune heir John Jacob Astor IV, pioneering newspaperman and mystery writer Jacques Futrelle, noted American painter, sculptor and writer Francis David Millet and Isidor Straus, a co-founder of Macy’s Department Store.

Money for animal shelter still on hold

Animals at the Terrebonne Animal Shelter will have to wait even longer for a better facility.
A Nov. 1 Houma-Terrebonne Public Trust Financing Authority meeting was unofficial because an authority member was absent, so a decision to allocate money for the project wasn’t an option.
On Thursday, parish officials, representatives from the animal shelter and volunteers from Friends of Terrebonne Animal Shelter gathered again at the Government Tower in Houma to make their presentation and request money from the authority.
But once again, not having all members present, the authority voted to take no action and to reconvene on an undetermined date.
The shelter has a variety of problems, which Tom Bourg, Terrebonne Parish utilities director, addressed at the Nov. 1 meeting.
“It is the equivalent of a dog-pound facility,” Bourg said. “Basically what we have now is a bunch of cages where | the unadoptable and the adoptable — the aggressive and the friendly — are all just crammed together.”
The shelter at 131 Plant Road is divided into five parts. Its entrance is a small room with a receptionist where animals can be dropped off. The original shelter building, built in the 1960s, connects to the entrance where there are 16 dog runs and 39 cat cages for visitors to view the animals. Next-door is the ill-cat building.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People v. Patterson
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
MR. JUSTICE HARLAN delivered the opinion of the Court.
We review from the standpoint of its validity under the Federal Constitution a judgment of civil contempt entered against petitioner, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the courts of Alabama. The question presented is whether Alabama, consistently with the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, can compel petitioner to reveal to the State's Attorney General the names and addresses of all its Alabama members and agents, without regard to their positions or functions in the Association. The judgment of contempt was based upon petitioner's refusal to comply fully with a court order requiring in part the production of membership lists. Petitioner's claim is that the order, in the circumstances shown by this record, violated rights assured to petitioner and its members under the Constitution.
Alabama has a statute, similar to those of many other States, which requires a foreign corporation, except as exempted, to qualify before doing business by filing its corporate charter with the Secretary of State and designating a place of business and | an agent to receive service of process. The statute imposes a fine on a corporation transacting intrastate business before qualifying, and provides for criminal prosecution of officers of such a corporation.

There is perhaps no more under-appreciated job in the NHL than that of the defensive defenseman, who, like a referee, often performs best when you really don't notice him much during a game. Since, by definition, they aren't usually involved in scoring plays, they only come into focus when they have to sweep the puck out of their own net after the other team gets a goal.
These guys are going to end up on the wrong end of the highlight reels more often than not, even if they're doing what's asked of them. Such is the thankless task which has been assumed by Kevin Klein.

EV Buyers Tend To Be Smart, Educated, Wealthy White Men

Guess what? Your average electric vehicle buyer is not your typical American.
Electric car buyers are predominantly white, male, well-educated and homeowners, according to a survey of 970 EV owners by the Electric Vehicle Information Exchange (EVIX). Their median household income was $108,624, compared with the U.S. average of $51,914. In other words, except for political leanings, they look just like the members of the U.S. Congress and White House challengers last year who regularly bashed EVs and government subsidy for them.
Rich white men. Who knew?
Of course, these are the same people, demographically speaking, who typically are the first adopters of all new technology. Remember Gordon Gekko and his gigantic cellphone from the 1987 movie Wall Street? Who else at the time could afford a Motorola DynaTac 8000X than a rich guy?
But this is part of the stumbling block that keeps electric vehicles from gaining wide | acceptance: The only people who can afford them right now are wealthy who tend to consider image in their car purchase more than buyers with lower family incomes.

Thoughts On The Brink of Armageddon

The City of Talisay used to be an Agustinian estate in 1648 but only became a municipality in 1849 with Silverio Fernandez as its first gobernadorcillo and Pedro Labuca as capitan. Some accounts trace the origin of its name from Magtalisay trees abounding in areas while others claim origin of the name from a town in Spain. In both the American and Japanese occupations, Talisay served as haven of colonial forces. During World War II, the city served as the center of guerilla intelligence operations for the Philippine residence movement in Cebu. The returning American forces made their historic landing in the beach of Talisay on March 26, 1945 - an event that marked the eventual surrender of the Japanese forces in Cebu. The event is now annually commemorated by the provincial government of Cebu. On December 30 2000, Talisay became a component city by virtue of Republic Act 8979.

GLAAD’s Network Responsibility Index is one of the most fascinating and comprehensive looks at the on-screen diversity of American television, examining not just gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender characters, but racial and gender diversity as well. And the version of its report released today says a lot not just about which networks are doing well at integrating LGBT characters into their programming, but about generation gaps between viewers and which kind of gay people are most integrated into the American imagination.
On broadcast television, there’s a striking gap between the network aimed at the youngest viewers and the one that targets the oldest. The CW consistently leads its rivals in programming that includes gay characters—in the 2011-2012 television season, 29 percent of its program hours included gay characters or gay people, bolstered substantially by its reality programming. 62 percent of those impressions were of LGBT people of color. During | the same period, CBS only had gay people or characters in 8 percent of its original programming. The CW, of course, is so dangerously at the bottom of the ratings that it’s at risk of actual extinction, while CBS leads the ratings by a significant margin.

Introduction to Art Resources
Art comes in all shapes and forms, from cave paintings to digital videos. Here is a list of art DVDs broken down by their subjects.
Art in TimeArt has been around as long as humans. This section of DVDs looks at art from different periods of history:
The history of the ancient world has been shaped by myths and tradition. This documentary examines examples of ancient art work and how these reflect the cultural history and modern society of their countries of origin.
Our ancient ancestors have come and gone long ago, but their influence remains in our art, culture, and architecture. How Art Made the World takes you on a trip around the world to examine ancient art and the impact it has in modern times.
WWII saw some of the worst crimes against humanity in history. Not only did Hitler attempt to eradicate an entire people and culture, but he also tried to rewrite the history of Europe as a whole by stealing its art. In The Rape of Europa the filmmakers trace Hitler's plan and execution to highjack history though | art and how Europe took it back.
Art and Architecture often serve a purpose beyond aesthetics, but for the Rural Studio they are attempting to test the limits of what art can do. This group of architects sets out to revitalize a forgotten rural community by creating some of the most progressive architectural and environmental landscapes to date.

Radio VIVA! 963AM The launch
Of course, we always knew that women weren't interested in laddish things like sport and business, which presumably explains the absence of references to either subject in the news bulletins. There have been some surprises, though. For instance, did you know that women were so interested in hearing interviews with pop stars of the late Seventies? Me neither, but yesterday there they were, Toyah Willcox and Chrissie Hynde, occupying prime slots on Tara Newley's late-morning slot and Lynne Franks's lunchtime show.
And surely few of us men can have had any idea just how interested women are in Van Morrison. Normally, you can go weeks without hearing a single Van record, but on Viva! you can't get away from him for five minutes together (even as I write this, Lynne Franks has started playing "Have I told you lately that I love you?").

You get the idea that Viva! doesn't have a very high opinion of its audience's taste in music or conversation: soft rock meets banal chat.

'Clone' strikes back with galactic grandeur

Even before its pressure-packed finale of clone-factory mayhem, pug-ugly monsters and (surprise) crossed light sabers, George Lucas' already debated Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones manages to outduel its leaden romantic angle.

Amy, Kate and I are running the 2010 Adidas Women's 5K Challenge in Hyde Park London on Sunday 5 September, to raise money for the Debbie Phillips Cervical Cancer Research Fund. Debbie was married to Steve's cousin Mark and she lost her battle with cancer in February of this year at the age of 48.
Debbie was an amazing, intelligent, fun-loving and inspirational woman, both in the way she lived and especially during her four-year battle with cervical cancer.

Debbie had regular cervical smear tests.

GODFREY Bloom, local UKIP MEP has suggested that Environment Secretary Owen Patterson is playing games with the health of UK citizens.
“I think it is disengenuous of Owen Patterson to suggest that we cannot ban the importation of frozen foods and horsemeat until we know the supply chain logistics, provenance of the meat and whether there is a risk to UK health is established.
“This meat can be sourced in Luxembourg, via a buyer supply side chain that can then go through France, Romania, via Sweden and then to the end user in the UK,” he said.
“If the public knew that the meat they were eating had travelled that far they wouldn’t eat it, let alone not knowing the provenance of the meat.
“Perhaps Mr Patterson, a supposedly well-known Tory Eurosceptic, is playing games with the UK’s health for his own agenda? Either that or he is as incompetent as he sounds.”
Mr Bloom pointed out that it was because | of EU rules and regulations that 1,000 slaughterhouses in Britain were closed more than a decade ago which has made it much harder for shoppers to source local meat.
“This current fiasco just shows how we would all be better off healthwise if we shopped at local butchers and if supermarkets sourced their meats locally,” he said.

During the early evening of July 1 around 7 pm, a line of showers and thunderstorms formed over south central Minnesota and north central Iowa. These storms were initially on a cold front. However, the storms over south central Minnesota began racing east ahead of the front, into the hot and humid airmass that was over the Upper Mississippi River Valley region. The result of this was numerous reports of severe wind gusts as well as wind damage across much of southeast Minnesota into southwest into central Wisconsin. A few reports of wind damage were also received in northeast Iowa. What was most interesting about this severe weather event was that even though | the storms were weakening as they tracked east through the region, they still produced plenty of severe weather. The cause of the weakening was a combination of temperatures cooling through the evening and the environment turning less favorable for storms to organize over Wisconsin. Nevertheless, severe wind gusts and wind damage occurred into areas as far east as Sparta, Tomah, Necedah and Big Flats in the Upper Mississippi River Valley region.

Meg Okura: Naima (2010)
Chamber jazz is often a misunderstood label and balance is to blame for it. Classical-leaning projects bearing this descriptor often lack passion and strong improvisational elements, but jazz artists who try to play swinging takes on pieces by J.S. Bach also miss the mark. Fortunately, violinist Meg Okura avoids these potential pitfalls and manages to find balance where others have failed. Okura, and her Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble, place strong solos within brilliantly written, formalized musical dwellings on Naima.
While the band name implies a strong influence from the Far Eastand this does come to fruition in many places heresubtler hints of the Orient come through at other times. Light-headed, rippling flute arpeggios introduce "Naima" and shifting, overlapping lines help to create an impressionistic weave of sound.

Okura adds her helium-light, wordless vocals to the mix on "Hannah's Vocal | ise" and a firm rhythmic feelin sevenunderscores and contrasts with the gentler presence provided by Okura. Flautist Anne Drummond gets some space to solo here and Okura sticks in a brief quote from "The Girl From Ipanema" when it's her turn.

Editor’s note: Today, Sporting News continues its look at a handful of programs that have smaller than average 2013 classes and therefore, have work to do in the closing months before national signing day.

Thanks for the perspective, Scott. Your comments show us just how far we've come in terms of design tool advances. Sometimes, given the pace of technology evolution, these are improvements and innovations we take for granted.
As a young engineer I was tasked with properly documenting design parameters for a number of environmental systems that had evolved over time "based on experience". There were a lot of tables of empirical data I had to work from when it came to fluild flow, but I was totally stumped when it came to multi-phase flow in the condenser of a refrigeration unit. Oh what I would have given for a 3D CFD program at that time. Glad to see today's designers won't have to suffer my endless hours of research in a technical library looking for answers.
@Naperlou: You've hit on the mantra of design tool providers. It's all about increasing the ability to perform all types of simulations | early on in the design process when it's so much cheaper to optimize and make changes.

If an employee has a disability it’s like they become untouchable, right? Wrong! As one court recently noted, following your policies consistently can be a lifesaver against claims of discrimination—even when terminated employees are in protected categories…
Case in Point: David Thomas worked as an Avis rental car service agent at the Salt Lake City airport. Thomas is hearing impaired and relies on lip reading, closed caption screens and relay services for telephone calls.
Thomas first started as a “shuttler” who moved cars and then as a lead service agent responsible for cleaning cars. Eventually, Thomas expressed interest in applying for a shift manager position that required significant face-to-face customer service. Thomas was directed to otherpositions requiring less face-to-face time, but he didn’t pursue that promotion. Instead, he applied for the shift manager position. He did not get the job.
Thomas complained twice to managers about his failure to get the position, saying he felt the decision was based on his disability. Shortly thereafter, Thomas violated the company’s lost-and-found policy by failing to immediately tag and document a bag that a customer left behind in a rental car. He said he just plain forgot. Still, Avis fired him.
He | sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act for discrimination and retaliation. Avis defended the claims by asserting that Thomas’ firing was due solely to violating the company policy.
The result: The court dismissed Thomas’ case. Avis was able to show that violating the policy was a terminable offense, and that facility managers “never recommended a penalty other than termination.”

The politics of Muslim women and the burqa has sparked debate and grabbed headlines worldwide. Numerous communities and countries have been wrestling with the question of whether banning modest dress that covers the face is protecting — or violating — human rights.
Here on The Sisterhood and in numerous feminist circles, it has been hotly argued. Jews have appeared on both sides of the debate. Some agree that fully veiled women in public is disturbing and a security risk. Some on the left, view it as free expression. And many Orthodox Jews fear the slippery slope — one day burqas and veils are banned, the next, all forms of religious garb could be in danger.
The phenomenon of veiled Jewish women has been a non-existent to fringe issue in the debate. It was unheard of until a few years ago when some extreme Haredi women in Beit Shemesh in Israel began covering their faces. The media spotlight shone briefly on the phenomenon, when one of these women, dubbed the “Taliban Mother” in the Israeli press was accused of child abuse.
But now the Israeli Haredi press is reporting both a growth and | strengthening of the trend — and a backlash against it. Two English-language blogs that have been covering the trend faithfully are A Mother in Israel and Life in Israel.
This Hebrew-language Haredi website “B’Hadrei HaHederim” which both blogs cite, reports that more women have been convinced by other charismatic “Taliban” women to adopt the veil, and that “Taliban Moms” can now | [

From the point of view of the fire department, a response to a condition that does not need fire department action in order to avoid loss is both a waste of resources and a needless risk of injury during the response. Response to unwanted alarms is an issue that is receiving increasing attention at the community level.
This project was initiated by the Fire Protection Research Foundation to develop and implement a tool that can be used at the community level to assess risk, sand cost/benefit of strategies to reduce these risks, including appropriate emergency response protocols, enforcement of inspection and maintenance requirements, community education, etc. The goal of this project was to develop a practical, model-based tool that can be used by local fire departments with local data (to the extent possible) when deciding among courses of action to deal with unwanted alarms. The tool uses a generic model, combined with local data when available and national data when necessary, to estimate costs, fire | losses and other impacts of strategies.

Lighting Designer Andy Moore used 70 Chroma-Q™ Color Blocks in his design for the final Jamie Cullum UK tour dates at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
After touring almost non-stop to promote second album Twentysomething, Cullum has become the biggest selling UK jazz artist ever. The latest 2005/2006 European tour, to support the singer’s third album Catching Tales, kicked off with more than a dozen dates in the UK and Ireland before moving to Europe.
The tour’s production lighting is provided by master contractor Kevin Ludlam of Zig Zag Lighting (London), in collaboration with Neil Hunt of Zig Zag Lighting Ltd in Leeds. The tour was rigged by Hadyn Thomas (Up There Rigging).
When Moore was looking to create some general stage wash lighting in a variety of colors using audience blinders fitted with color changers, Hunt and Ludlam suggested he could achieve a better, richer range of colours with added flexibility and reliability from one of the latest color-mixing LED fixtures.
After considering various products, the lighting team chose the Chroma-Q™ Color Block DB4 on account of its high brightness, mod | ularity, and compact design. “We considered other LED products for this tour, but they just didn’t offer the same flexibility as the Color Block in terms of our requirements," Ludlam says. "As well as using it at various angles to provide the main stage colouring, we’ve been able to use it for discreet lighting inside the piano and across the front of the stage as footlights.”

War Memorial group proposes land sale to art museum
A group representing the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center said it has proposed selling a portion of land to the Milwaukee Art Museum in exchange for parking revenues.
The group said it has proposed selling a portion of the memorial's property to the art museum at fair market value, then wants an increased portion of parking revenues generated from that land.
The move comes after nearly a year of negotiations between the memorial group and the museum.
In May 2012, the art museum proposed a $15 million project that included plans to help restore the War Memorial Center and its surrounding grounds.
The memorial building was built in 1957, and years of deferred maintenance are beginning to show.
The group representing the memorial has balked at the art museum's plans out of fears of a takeover. County supervisors have been allowing the groups to negotiate among themselves before taking action.
"It is very difficult to garner support on the County Board to make the maintenance and the corrections that need to be made to the facility without there being a unified front and there being peace between the veterans community and the art museum community," said County | Supervisor John Weishan.
Dan Keegan, director of the art museum, said the groups are trying to work together for the good of the memorial and the city.

A delegation of cleantech business representatives will accompany the minister to Vietnam.
Finland, like other Western countries, halted cooperation with Myanmar in 1988, owing to the country’s non-democratic development and human rights violations. | The democratic reforms launched by the new civilian government have enabled the gradual normalisation of relations.

Swatch recently teamed up with photographer Paul Graves to refresh the brand's advertising campaign by blurring the lines of the products' function. Graves' photographs embody a crisp, vibrant advertising endeavor. The iconic brand Swatch has opted for a more abstract, simple campaign that focuses on its products more closely. These particular photographs capture alternative uses for a simple watchstrap.
In one image, Paul Graves captures a Swatch-covered hand and wrist employing the straps as a lasso; another features a sculpture of a head completely constructed of Swatch straps. The next image showcases Swatch straps wrapped tightly like a basket. These photographs show the Swatch brand as more fashion-centric; the trinkets have been transformed into sculptural pieces of art.
The vibrant colors of the Swatch straps coupled with the rich blackness of the background allow these photographs to truly pop and captivate the viewer. Although few of these advertisements have hit magazines and other fashion streams, from what has been released thus far, this collaboration between Swatch and Paul | Graves is sure to prove fruitful and grab international attention.
Along with photographer Paul Graves, creative director Alex Wiederin's Swatch campaign will be published in the April issue of Swiss magazine Faces.
