“Trust my soul, Bruno is a real healer”
Of all known artifacts that bestow superpowers on his/her owner, the Biostabiel amulet is by far the most powerful. And the best thing about it is that it is a mass produced item, so in theory anybody could have superpowers.
During the Falklands war in a totally unrelated event the Biostabiel inventor Bruno Santanera ( brother to the late Billy-Bob Santaclausa jr.) stumbled upon a rare and magical substance that, until that time, was only the stuff of legends. What Sant | anera had found was magnetism, It was magic!

The writer Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on the Fourth of July in 1804 and went on from there to establish himself as one of the great contributors to American literature. Like Forrest Gump, he seemed all his life to be surrounded by history. He was descended from a line of notorious Puritans, including a judge at the Salem witch trials. His college pals included poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and future president Franklin Pierce. Henry David Thoreau planted Hawthorne a vegetable garden as a wedding present. Edgar Allan Poe wrote rave reviews of his books. The mourners at his funeral in 1860 included Ralph Waldo Emerson and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Hawthorne spent most of his life in or around the Massachusetts towns of Salem and Concord, both of which played prominent roles in American history.
Hawthorne's books and stories drew heavily from America's Puritan history. His stories were pointed allegories that took aim at hypocrisy, sin, and corruption. Hawthorne's most famous novel, The Scarlet Letter, practically ran through a checklist of the Seven Deadly Sins. His was not a rosy | view of human nature. Perhaps because of this, Hawthorne kept mostly to himself. He was painfully shy and rarely invited anyone to the home he shared with his wife and three children. | [

After teasing us with bits and pieces of his new track throughout the past week, Lupe Fiasco has now released the full audio for "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)."

Controversy now surrounds "Around My Way." Pete Rock took issue with the beats Fiasco sampled from his track. All we know is that the resulting song features a great throwback sound, an impressive hook and strong social commentary.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says the U.S. is safer and its people resilient on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama laid a wreath at the Pentagon, one of several official observances marking the suicide hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.
Aided by a Marine honor guard, Obama placed a white floral wreath on a metal stand above a concrete slab that said “Sept. 11, 2001 – 9:37 am.” A moment of silence began at precisely 9:37 a.m.

President Obama is reaping a windfall of political capital from the extermination of Osama bin Laden, and he plans to spend a chunk of it on immigration reform. During a Cinco de Mayo celebration with Mexican-Americans at the White House this week, Obama announced he’ll give a major immigration speech during a visit to the border city of El Paso, Texas, next Tuesday, May 10. “I strongly believe that we’ve got to fix [our] broken [immigration] system,” he said, “so that it meets the needs of our 21st-century economy and our security needs.”
But that last part – security – could be the biggest obstacle. Obama acknowledged that unlike | last year’s healthcare reform, which passed without Republican votes, the immigration fix is “going to require bipartisan support” after the Democrats lost the House and much of their Senate majority in last November’s midterm elections.

Medical doctors use X-rays to see bone and tissue structure inside the body. Mechanics use computer-based diagnostic tools and borescopes to view internal engine components. And increasingly, U.S. soldiers rely on an Idaho National Laboratory (INL) technology to examine suspected chemical munitions and containers.
The Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy (PINS) system is a neutron-based assessment device that can safely sense the chemicals inside thick steel containers and quickly determine if the contents are hazardous. With the aid of a small neutron source, PINS saturates suspected containers with neutrons. This process creates gamma rays – tiny but powerful electromagnetic radiation waves – that carry signatures of the material inside. The gamma-ray spectrum is analyzed by PINS custom software that determines the chemical mixture or compound inside. The results of the analysis are displayed to an operator usually within 100 to 1,000 seconds. And since PINS doesn’t require the container to be opened, safety is greatly enhanced.
A typical PINS system includes a small californium-252 radioactive source, a high-purity germanium gamma-ray detector | , a stand with moderator and shielding, a digital signal-processing multichannel analyzer, and a laptop computer. The computer analyzes the spectrum and serves as the control panel.
Since 1992, PINS has been extensively tested and used worldwide to detect chemical warfare agents, explosives, chemical obscuring smoke, and practice fills.

Biographical Information
Phil Linz was a utility infielder with the New York Yankees in the 1960s, who is mostly known for being the harmonica player in the infamous "Harmonica Incident" on August 20, 1964. Following a four-game sweep at the hands of the Chicago White Sox capped by a 5-0 shutout, Linz pulled out his harmonica as the team bus was delayed leaving for O'Hare Airport. That infuriated manager Yogi Berra, who completely lost his cool, charging Linz to have him stop the noise (Linz could barely play the instrument). The incident degenerated into a loud shouting | match,m and with a a number of reporters on the bus, it was all over the next day,s newspapers. Fans then began to throw harmonicas on the field at every game and Linz received a $10,000 endorsement from Hohner Harmonica Co, then was featured on the back page of the Yankees' 1965 yearbook with the line "Play it again, | [

The cool thing about | Chowhound’s Italy Board is that the community is so large, you can ask a question about a small town, one off the beaten track, and get a response.

Deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he wouldn’t disclose his decision until notifying federal authorities. But he noted that the state stopped planning an exchange once federal agencies wrote regulations that he says restrict Georgia’s ability to design its own program.
The decision to stop, Deal says, is “probably a pretty good indication of where we are headed.”
The law gives states the option to run the exchanges or default to the federal government. The exchanges would allow individuals to shop for private insurance.
Whether consumers would notice real differences between a federal or state exchange remains to be seen. But Deal’s reticence underscores the continued philosophical and political wrangling that surrounds implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Congress set a Jan. 1, 2013, deadline for states to have an operable exchange. Deal has until Nov. 16 to submit an outline for an exchange or notify federal authorities that Georgia declines to open its own.
Deal said he was initially inclined to consider a state-run exchange, and in 2011, he appointed a committee that advised him on how to proceed. That panel opted against recommending a state-managed exchange.
By the time the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality of the | law’s key provisions this spring, Deal said he would wait until after the election to make a decision. Republican challenger Mitt Romney had promised to “repeal and replace” the law, a prospect that now is moot given the president’s re-election and Democrats retaining control of the U.S. Senate.
Asked for an example of a policy that Georgia couldn’t implement as part of the exchanges, Deal cited “association plans,” a concept that would allow a professional or trade association to form a large group insurance pool | [

“People learn to develop and articulate their story [through the program] so they can go into the community and tell their story,” Director James Guffey said of the program.
Joel Slack, the founder of Respect International and instructor of this week’s program, said it was important for those who have faced mental health and/or substance abuse challenges to learn to tell their story and to reach out to the community in an effort to change the stigmatization associated with mental illnesses or addiction.
Those who spoke during Friday’s ceremony, held at the Bartow County Agriculture Building, shared personal experiences of trauma, physical abuse, prior hospitalization and how they have worked through the problems associated with self-medicating through drugs and alcohol.

LABOR is considering proposals to establish the world's largest marine protected area with 972,000 square kilometres of the Coral Sea to be given differing levels of environmental cover.
The government has the opportunity to leave an environmental legacy of global significance by fully protecting the Coral Sea in a large marine national park”Darren Kindleysides, Director of the Australian Marine Conservation Society
The Age believes the draft proposal for the tropical waters between the Great Barrier Reef and the edge of Australian territory will place about half the total region in ''no take'' reserves, stopping fishing.
The rest of the Coral Sea will be made multi-use, single-use and wilderness conservation areas allowing recreational fishing, some commercial fishing, or both, to differing degrees.
The draft proposal is still being finalised before its release in coming weeks, but falls short of a campaign by conservationists for the entire Coral Sea to be declared a ''no-take'' reserve due to its largely unspoilt environment and military significance.
Director of the Australian Marine Conservation Society Darren Kindleysides said: ''The government has the opportunity to leave an environmental legacy of global significance by fully protecting the Coral | Sea in a large marine national park.
''There have always been two important goals since the campaign to protect the Coral Sea began in 2008 - providing a very large safe haven for marine life and recognising the historic significance of the area.

A piece of performance art for the ages wrapped up early Saturday morning as the centerpiece of Michael Heizer’s Levitated Mass finally reached LACMA to fanfare typically reserved for a Hollywood premier. The star was a 340-ton rock that had enraptured spectators throughout its week-and-a-half journey into the city from a quarry near Riverside, CA.
Hung from a 22-axle, football-field-long carrier, the rock was greeted by thousands of spectators in the streets of LA as it slowly crawled towards its final destination on the northwest corner of the LACMA campus. “We’re really pleased it got here in one piece,” said Miranda Carroll, LACMA’s director of communications, who clocked the boulder’s touchdown at the museum around 4:30 a.m on Saturday morning.

One of the surprises is the always exciting opening act, only that this time it takes us to the beginning of the century where a young Indiana Jones (played perfectly by the late River Phoenix) fights off a band of cave looters whom have discovered a Spanish cross only to loose it in the end, not before gaining a couple of his soon-to-be trademarks while being chased on a circus train: His fear of snakes, his chin scar and his first encounter with a bull-whip, and last but not least (though at Indy’s house), his legendary fedora.

Lamoni receives the light of everlasting life and sees the Redeemer—His household falls into a trance, and many see angels—Ammon is preserved miraculously—He baptizes many and establishes a church among them. About 90 B.C.

5 Therefore, if this is the case, I would that ye should go in and see my husband, for he has been laid upon his bed for the space of two days and two nights; and some say that he is not dead, but others say that he is dead and that he astinketh, and that he ought to be placed in the sepulchre; but as for myself, to me he doth not stink.

MLB shows no respect to 9/11 victims

WILLMAR -- Area law enforcement officers cited 75 people for seat belt violations during the extra Click It or Ticket enforcement patrols Oct. 12-26 in Swift and Kandiyohi counties.
The Atwater, Benson and Willmar police departments and the Kandiyohi County and Swift County sheriff's offices participated in the patrols as part of a statewide campaign.
During the extra enforcement, deputies from the Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office and Willmar Police Department officers also cited five parents and caregivers for child seat violations.

We are living in an unprecedented time.

The article was the result of an interesting and wide-ranging discussion that covered much more material than could be included in the article, but may pop up later.

Other possibilities include theaters and shopping centers, both of which have featured in recent active shooter incidents.

Filling up at trough of free agency
By MIKE LOPRESTI
Gannett News Service
Hoping to keep order in this baseball free agent signing period, may we suggest one simple rule?
Could the other 29 teams stay to the back of the line until the New York Yankees are finished helping themselves?
It shouldn't be long now. Even George Steinbrenner has a budget. Presumably.
Jason Giambi officially became a Yankee Thursday.
It was pitcher Steve Karsay earlier, left fielder Rondell White any day now.
Perhaps we should just admire the patriotism of all this. What could be more American than the Yankees buying a lineup?
Mom, apple pie and a 40-homer man now playing first base in the Bronx. Tino Martinez is discarded, like an expired license plate. Business at Yankee Stadium is business.
Let us review a few figures. Giambi reportedly signed for seven years and $120 million, White two and $10 million, Karsay four and $23 million.
Then there's pitcher Sterling Hitchcock, who re-upped for two years and $12 million. In a brief stay last year, he had | a 6.49 ERA. Twelve million doesn't buy what it used to.
It is easy to keep forgetting this is a troubled industry, strapped for cash, facing financial Armageddon.
What would the Yankees buy if times were good? The Dominican Republic?

The town's overlay project that was approved in May started on Nov. 14.
"We've been working on this for a while but it's actually getting ready to start," Hurlock said. "They hope to be cleaned up and out of town by Thanksgiving."
The three streets are South Bassett Street between Smyrna Avenue and Wheatley's Pond Road, Smyrna Avenue between Reed Street and Dickerson Street, and Highland Avenue between West Street and Duck Creek Road. The three streets cost approximately $120,000.

CW33 "sexpert" Shana Franklin caught in love nest with -- four dogs
09/07/10 05:18 PM
By ED BARK
The above headline literally is true -- and cheaply scandalous. It's also in sync with the way CW33 would tease something like this.
Veteran CW33 reporter Shana Franklin, who self-describes herself as the station's "sexpert," has a new video bio on the Dallas-based station's always oddly intriguing website.
Filmed by her husband, Franklin is seen lounging in bed with the couple's four dogs, ranging in sizes from big to tiny and names from Turtle to Velcro. A skull-and-crossbones pillow is nearby.
She bills this as a "sneak peek into the real me" before introducing the couple's four canine "children" and cueing viewers to her brand of "sex and relationships" reporting.
"For all things more intimate, you're just going to have to get on to 'The 33,' " Franklin says, later warning, "So come find us -- or we will find you."
Franklin is nothing if not dogged on her still | relatively new beat. A very wide array of her sex and relationship stories is readily available on her CW33 page. They lately range from "The Science Behind the Booty Call" to "DIY Sexual Pleasure" to "No Longer Just For Strippers: DFW Kids Could Be Taking to the Pole."
Hey, it's a living. And let's face it. Franklin's latter day brand of expertise might have been fatal to a resume tape just a few years or even a few months ago. But at this juncture in local TV news, she may well be ahead of | [

After doing Seattle hip-hop artist Grieves a few weeks ago, we are headed back to Seattle to announce our next Artist of the Week: Death Cab For Cutie. One of the most popular bands of this decade in our opinion, we are excited to post their great music this week. Death Cab consists of lead singer, guitarist and pianist Ben Gibbard, Chris Wallard on guitar, Nicholas Harmer on bass, and Jason McGerr on the drums. Ben Gibbard’s voice is probably the most recognizable trait of the band as he sings out beautiful melodies in a smooth, artistic voice with his thoughtful lyrics. The Lone Scientists actually had the awesome opportunity to see these dudes live in action a few years ago in Minnesota. Their performance was great and filled with tons of energy, passion and talent. It was a very cool experience. This week is perfect to have Death Cab as our Artist of the Week, since they just released their album that is called “ | Codes And Keys.” The album shows some new sides to Death Cab, yet they still retain that sound that we all know and love them for.

Today's memorial service for civil rights activist Coretta Scott King -- billed as a "celebration" of her life -- turned suddenly political as one former president took a swipe at the current president, who was also lashed by an outspoken black pastor!
The outspoken Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, ripped into President Bush during his short speech, ostensibly about the wife of Martin Luther King Jr." She extended Martin's message against poverty, racism and war. She deplored the terror inflicted by our smart bombs on missions way afar. We know now that there were no weapons of mass destruction over there," Lowery said. The mostly black crowd applauded, then rose to its feet and cheered in a two-minute-long standing ovation. A closed-circuit television in the mega-church outside Atlanta showed the president smiling uncomfortably. "But Coretta knew, and we know," Lowery continued, "That there are weapons of misdirection right down here," he said, nodding his head toward the row of presidents past and present. "For war | , billions more, but no more for the poor!" The crowd again cheered wildly.
Former President Jimmy Carter later swung at Bush as well, not once but twice. As he talked about the Kings, he said: "It was difficult for them then personally with the civil liberties | [

Elsa & Fred means to be a charming tribute to Argentinean director/co-writer Marcos Carnevale’s longtime obsession with the films of Federico Fellini, a passion that led to a correspondence with Fellini during the last years of his life. Instead, it reinforces the attitude that mainly the elderly remember Fellini’s black-and-white classics, | let alone would see old movies. This slightly amusing, sentimental film will not encourage any change in that perception or behavior.
The opening credits flicker over the sculptures in Rome’s Trevi Fountain, drenched in water and violin music. The voluptuous Anita Ekberg appears, sauntering through the fountain in Federico Fellini’s 1960 classic La Dolce Vita. | [

Cee-Lo has a supercool cover picked out for his Lady Killer album, which is due next month. It's classic-looking. And very familiar. The sunglasses, the relaxed pose, the close-up headshot.
Of course, sunglasses go with music stardom like cocaine goes with more cocaine. There are lots of famous songs about the subject. Some of them are great. Thusly, there have been many album covers similar to Cee-Lo's.
I'm guessing people will first compare it to the image from Rick Ross's recent Teflon Don album.
But I think the reference is most directly to Bobby Womack.

ADL Audit: Anti-Semitic Incidents Rise Slightly in U.S. in 2000. Increase Linked
to Mideast Conflict
New York, NY, March 21, 2001... The resort to violence in the
Middle East following the breakdown of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process may
have contributed to a slight increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents
reported in the United States during the year 2000.
The Anti-Defamation League’s(ADL) annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, issued today, reflects a 4
percent increase in the number of attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions
in the U.S.
The 2000 ADL Audit recorded 1,606 anti-Semitic incidents in
44 states and the District of Columbia, representing a slight increase over the
1,547 incidents reported in 1999.
Vandalism, harassment and other expressions of hatred against Jewish
individuals and property climbed with the renewal of tensions in the Middle
East, reaching a | high point in October as the events there spilled over into
nations with large Jewish communities. According to the ADL Audit, there
were 259 anti-Semitic incidents reported in October across the United States,
more than in any other month of the 2000 calendar year.

I don't have any current database certifications; I only have the ones that my place of work requires me to have for being a sysadmin, and even those will likely lapse as I was declared to "not be a sysadmin" a couple of months ago.
Certification might help to differentiate you between different people when you're looking to get a job -- it's basically someone vouching for you, claiming that you have a given set of skills.
But if it came down to a person who's been doing stuff for years, vs. someone with a piece of paper that said they could pass a test, I'd go with the person with experience.

What is the first thought that comes to mind when you are looking for excellent customer service? I think of communication, regardless of whether I'm having someone mow my lawn, am purchasing an appliance or shipping thousands of items worth millions of dollars across the country. From that perspective, the foundation for any customer service strategy should be communication. How well we convey information to our customers establishes a foundation for the relationship we are going to have with them.

Revenge on the English stage has long been associated with Elizabethan and Renaissance revenge tragedies, and has been all but ignored in Restoration theater history. While the shortage of scholarly work on revenge in Restoration drama might seem to indicate that revenge is not a vital part of Restoration drama, I argue that revenge on stage in the Restoration is connected with important late seventeenth-century anxieties about monarchy and political subjecthood in the period. This dissertation examines how Restoration tragic drama staged during Charles II’s reign (1660-1685) depicts revenge as a representation of an unrestrained passion that contributes to the ‘seditious roaring of a troubled nation’ of which Thomas Hobbes writes in Leviathan. This dissertation | suggests that we need to assess Restoration tragic drama’s employment of acts of vengeance in order to better understand how tragic drama of the period narrates crises of kinship, kingship, and political subjecthood.
In chapters addressing blood revenge, rape, female passion, and personal ambition, I examine revenge in a number of Restoration tragic dramas written for | [

AAA said Chinese are savvy to be investing in Australian property
Savvy Chinese investors are showing increasing interest in Australian real estate, according to AAA.
- (1888PressRelease) January 31, 2012 - Boston, MA, USA -- Savvy Chinese investors are showing increasing interest in Australian real estate, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

Some 30 per cent of the real estate developers in Australia are foreign and nine per cent of these are Chinese, according | to the latest figures.
CBRE also found that 1,200 Australian apartments are currently either being planned, are under construction, or are being marketed by Chinese investors.
Melbourne and Sydney were found to be the most popular sites for Chinese investors.

- Saving Failed Saved
Pink Narcissus is a breathtaking and outrageous erotic poem focussing on the daydreams of a beautiful boy prostitute who, from the seclusion of his ultra-kitsch apartment, conceives a series of interlinked narcissistic fantasies populated by matadors, dancing boys, slaves and leather-clad bikers. The film was shrouded in mystery following its 1971 release, its creator credited only as 'Anonymous', and falsely | attributed to filmmakers including Kenneth Anger and Andy Warhol, before being rediscovered and revealed as the work of artist and photographer James Bidgood. It was shot in a haphazard, piecemeal fashion between 1964 and 1970 on 8mm, mainly in Bidgood's small apartment. Its cult status endures, as does adoration for its star, the gorgeous and enigmatic Bobby Kendall.

San Diego school board member Luis Acle faces $210,000 in political fines from a failed City Council run.
The city's Ethics Commission found that it's probable Acle stiffed vendors for their services, did not disclose campaign expenses and failed to maintain accurate financial records during his bid for City Council in 2006.
Altogether, the commission said he violated elections law 42 times. Each violation carries a maximum fine of $5,000.
If the allegations are upheld at a hearing before the commission May 9, Acle would face a fine that is more than 12 times larger than any levied by the commission in its six-year history.
Ken Moser, Acle's campaign consultant, took Acle to court in January to obtain a $7,500 judgment for his services. He said he was most outraged by Acle's refusal to pay two college students who tacked up campaign signs.
“The whole thing was a farce,” Moser said. “All he had to do was write a check for $14,000” to cover the campaign debts.
The commission held a hearing Jan. 31 and announced its findings Thursday night, deciding enough evidence exists to move forward. Acle could appeal the outcome of the May 9 hearing | to Superior Court.
Acle did not return a phone call for comment.

Rihanna continues to have a great time in paradise, enjoying the sun, sand and some smoke while down in Hawaii.
The Talk That Talk singer hasn't been too plagued by the rumors that she's secretly hooking up with her ex Chris Brown.
But the Chris Brown camp was forced to issue a statement that he's not cheating on Karrueche with Rihanna.
Perez Hilton Reports: sources close to Chris' girlfriend Karrueche Tran came forward and said that she's "fully aware" of his cheating…but won't break up with him because of it!
Prompting Breezy's camp to say, "He and Rihanna are just friends. He is with his girlfriend, Karrueche, and is not cheating."
We're glad the former couple is still friends.
Rihanna tweeted a message about cheating, quoting Wiz Khalifa:
"#TheresNoReason to cheat, there never is. If you're not happy with the relationship then don't be a coward, just end it."
It wouldn't be too hard to believe that the friends have seen each other since their altercation 3 years | ago on Feb. 8th. After all, they are going to come face-to-face at the Grammy Awards next month.

Good food—where it comes from, how it is grown, its nutritional value and its cost—is a key ingredient of healthy communities. In the fields and orchards of the Pacific Northwest, small family farmers are making a comeback. They're growing healthier food, more food per acre and using less energy and water than factory farms.
Filmmakers Melissa Young and Mark Dworkin explore this renewed focus on local fresh food in Good Food, a documentary about growing food more sustainably. Good Food visits producers, farmers markets, distributors, stores, restaurants and public officials who are developing a more sustainable food system. Portions of the documentary—also available in Spanish—were | filmed at Seattle's Marra Farm, the Providence Regina House Food Bank in South Park and the Columbia City Farmers Market.

Stand and deliver: why it adds up to use Direct Mail in a downturn.
Smart marketers know that at a time when you have to fight for every consumer euro it’s not the time to cut back your marketing spend. Smarter ones know that when every marketing euro needs to count you need to choose a hard working medium that delivers tangible, measurable results.
So why exactly does Direct Mail spend increase during tougher economic times?
Made to measure
You wouldn’t buy a lottery ticket without checking to see if you’d won so why spend precious marketing Euro without a way to measure if it worked? Direct mail is completely measurable – you know who received it and you can see if they acted. The ability to provide transparent responses is one of the reasons Direct Mail is even more popular when budgets are tight.
Because you can choose who you want to target, with Direct Mail there’s no waste. You can hit the customers you know will be interested in your products without wasting money targeting people who won’t.
Overtake the competition
When your competitors hit the brakes on their spending, it’s a good time to hit the accelerator on yours. Your efforts will look even more outstanding and get more consumer attention than in | a crowded market.
When times are tough we are drawn towards brands who are confident, despite the economic climate. Continuing and even increasing marketing spends for your brand shows consumers that you are here for the long haul.
