I had to turn the heater on in my car this morning. The Colorado mornings are getting chilly: in the 40s and 50s. It’s almost like Fall had been hiding behind the Labor Day corner, just waiting to pounce. Despite the cold (and my cold), I love fall and all that comes with it. Change is definitely upon us. Football is back, the leaves are turning, and everyone’s back in school.
With the coming of school, homework is now running rampant in my house. This is the first year that all three of my kids are in school of some sort. It’s fun and it’s challenging trying to keep up with all the basics that I’ve almost forgotten and that they are learning anew. The other night I sat down with my 9 year old daughter who’s in fourth grade to try and help her with her sudoku math homework problem. Wait. What? Sudoku math homework? I can see the connection, practicing logic and problem solving, but I don’t remember doing this in fourth grade. Do you? I remember Ms. Daniel, her glasses and her reading of Where the Red Fern Grows to our class. I remember multiplication tables, homonyms, workbooks and chase at recess. I remember Ms. Daniel weeping the day of the Challenger space shuttle tragedy and the first time I failed an assignment. But Sudoku for homework? I don’t remember that being a part of my fourth grade.
As I watched my daughter solve the puzzle, I realized that Sudoku for homework wasn’t odd for her. It’s simply part of her reality; part of the life she knows and the memories she’s making. Just like tablet computers and texting and video on demand and charter schools and doing homework on interactive websites. These things are new and fun and show how far we’ve come in the last 20 years for me, but they’re how it’s always been for her and every child after her.

How do you put your intentions into practice?
posted by Alex Zielinski on March 8, 2013 Filed under: Intentions
Being International Women’s Day, we’d be silly not to highlight a woman who’s working hard to inspire and challenge her gender every day. Although her focus is on young girls and women, her approach can easily apply to anyone at any stage of their life.
“What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
The question, casually brought up by a friend five years ago, took Ann Drew Yu off guard. At the time, Yu was a middle school English teacher in Minneapolis, eager for something new.
She recently had become fascinated by the art of feng shui—specifically the way it uses the physical orientation of a room to spark mental inspiration—and had wanted to find a way to share its intents with her students. But she had never seen it becoming a reality. Until then.
“One thing led to another,” says Yu. “And the idea came for the Intention Box.”
After working first-hand with middle school and high school-aged girls (and having once been a teenage girl herself), Yu saw a need to empower young women through an objective-based tool, dubbed the Intention Box for Girls.
The box set contains a deck of cards asking thought-provoking questions (“What positive thought would help me today?” or “How can I get more comfortable speaking up?”) and a journal to record girls’ responses and own unique goals.
Yu says that her Intention Box for Girls “gives young women life skills that go hand in hand with change.”
Now, two years after Yu’s first box hit the market, the kit is widely popular among young girls across Minnesota, and Yu’s new 8-week public school program based off of the box has attracted interest from a handful of teachers.
But how did she ignite her own intentions to bring the product to this stage?
It all goes back to analyzing her own missed intentions in her youth.
“I would have loved something like this as a girl,” she says. “Imagine being able to explore forgiveness, kindness and self-exploration at that stage. If you learn how to form your intentions in life early on, it sticks with you.”
To understand the real questions that would help pre-teen and teenage girls visualize their goals, Yu met with teachers, parents, and therapists to get inside their heads. But, she says, she found the real answers in working with young women themselves.
“It amazes me how intuitive younger girls are,” says Yu, who test ran her first intention box with a group of 10 to 15-year-old girls. “To hear how they made [the box] their own and what they thought it was missing, that was the most helpful.”
But there were certain parts in the development process where Yu had to rely on her own creativity. To financially kickstart the Intention Box, Yu took out home equity loans on her own house and reached out to already-cemented supporters across the city for a financial push.
“The whole project was very intuitive, driven by passion and creativity,” she says. “And I had to take some chances.”
Yu says that the money put into the project has almost paid itself off. But, she stresses that it was far from easy.
“This was no overnight success story, it took over ten years to bring my intentions into something tangible. But that’s not meant to discourage anyone,” she says. “It’s best to just always have your eye on the immediate future. Take it as it comes, step by step, and you will get there.”

Gordon Brown hails education as the best anti-poverty program
Submitted by Kavita Watsa On Mon, 09/20/2010 Tweet WidgetGoogle Plus OneLinkedin Share Button1 Comment
This morning, 69 million children would not have gone to school around the world. And of those who did, many did not learn what they should have. It is a good thing that education has such energetic champions as Queen Rania of Jordan and Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister, both of whom made strong statements today in New York in support of universal access to good-quality education.
“I have one goal—to advocate that every child receives a quality education,” said Queen Rania, who is the co-founder and co-chair of 1Goal , a campaign that was founded with the objective of ensuring that education for all would be a lasting impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Gordon Brown spoke of education as the best anti-poverty and anti-deprivation program, speaking of successes he had seen recently in Africa. “In Kenya, I saw first-hand the benefit for free education for all,” he said, “There were 1 million children standing in queues waiting to be enrolled.”
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Managing Director at the World Bank noted that the International Development Association (IDA) had just pledged an additional $750 million for education over the next five years for countries off-track, especially those in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
“These additional resources will be used to improve access to good quality schools, for girls’ scholarships, for conditional cash transfers, for grants to schools—these are proven interventions that are producing results,” she said. “We know what works and so we are scaling up.”
The current Secretary for International Development in the UK, Andrew Mitchell, emphasized that both “output and outcomes” were important in education, explaining that outputs are the number of schools built, and outcomes are the number of children receiving good quality education.
The message of the day on education was most neatly put by Nthabiseng Tshabalala, a 12-year-old from a Soweto school. She called on leaders gathered in New York to ensure that all 69 million out-of-school children also get their chance to be leaders some day.

Whatever seems important at the time.
Opportunity and hindrance
I married my music teacher. While that has brought me many musical opportunities, it also keeps me from practicing as much as I might like. I hate to make student noises when she's trying to relax at home, so I tend to try to practice when she's away.For the past week she has been in California at the American String Teachers Association national conference. She did a presentation on teaching adult beginners, which was very well received. She used a poster of one of my cartoons, which was also very well received. I am going to have to set up an e-commerce site so teachers can download cartoons for a fee. She set me a deadline some time in May.Once that is up and running I suppose I can add sections on other topics. Obviously I have to learn some things.While she's been away I have had an orgy of practice. I wish I could say it had made me a lot better, but it certainly hasn't made me any worse.I still have trouble with paper training. Music tends to get into my head. I like to play while wandering around the house or standing in front of my computer speakers, harmonizing with drones on a collection I purchased from Darol Anger's website. The tracks play for about six minutes in iTunes. Oddly, it appears no longer to be available. Glad I got mine.The drones help train the ear. They also generate some weird resonances. Each drone suggests a tune to me. I'll work the riff over and over until the track changes to the next one in the sequence. The change makes me hunt around for the musical relationships that work with the steady note. Or, if I like what I've been playing, I will start the previous track over again.The Internet needs Tune Search, where you play the little scrap of tune you've picked out and it tells you what it's from, if it's from anything. If it's not from anything, congratulations, you're a composer! For the moment, you can only play it for a more experienced friend who might be able to identify it. But that risks embarrassment.Eventually I have to put away the instrument and get to bed. I've had to work every day she's been away, so I should not have been staying up as late as I have. But then the house is quiet and cold. The cats do what they can. My natural restlessness when alone keeps me up and playing. I'm even plinking stuff out on the piano with one hand while brushing my teeth.With a musician co-worker I was browsing mandolins on a website he frequents. When he bought a travel guitar there it came with a free mandolin. Crazy. But a fifty-buck mandolin sounds about like you'd expect when they can go for as much as $230,000. And we thought the one for a mere 23 grand was impressive.Looks like a solid starter instrument will go for about $200. Just thinking. The cellist and I had both been thinking one might be handy. Tuned like a violin, it offers another platform for trying out some of the same tunes. And it's easier to play when slouched on the couch in front of the tube. Why fight it?After six straight nights of practice my fingers are wrecked. But it's like when I finally got the Telemark turn. My legs were screaming, but I wasn't going to stop when things were finally working right.Learning a difficult instrument as an adult is like trying to saw down a redwood tree with a nail file. You're only going to get it if you keep at it.

Free Market Failure in a Service Economy
A sport shop in town sharpens ice skates. The owners invested thousands of dollars in a large, console-type machine to provide top-quality service to their customers.Other businesses in town have offered skate sharpening. On the basis of price, quality and the intangibles of customer service, these establishments competed for customer dollars. Gradually, all but one gave it up.The survivor, a multi-sport shop, balanced its offerings through the four seasons of each different year. It did not set out to have a monopoly on sharpening. That condition was an accident.One customer, an accountant with several hockey-playing children and ample disposable income, decided he no longer wanted to pay the established sharpening business for their services. He invested instead in his own machine.Over the years, he has developed a sort of client list among various skating groups. What is not clear is whether he is charging for his services or simply giving them away because he enjoys it.If he is giving away a service another business has made a capital investment to offer at a professional level, he is undermining the free market. He takes unfair advantage of his position, having a comfortable income from another source, to reduce the income of hard-working people who don't have the same options he does. If he is charging a rate so low that no commercial establishment could match it, he's competing unfairly, using his other income as a subsidy.From a standpoint of personal freedom, this guy should be allowed to do whatever he likes. But if his hobby involves legitimate services someone else has to charge for, its ripples travel throughout the financial world. In this microcosm you can see what dooms the fantasy of a completely free, unregulated market. Unpaid dabblers throw unmeasurable turbulence into the calculation. And they are but one variable.
The First Six Days
Helping someone grieve for one of the most important people in her life is especially hard because the thing you want most to give them is impossible to provide. You can't make it not hurt. You have to let it hurt and walk with them at their own pace.

Best Game Programming Schools in West Europe
I am currently searching for the best schools that offer Game Programming in the west of Europe. Do you have good experiences somewhere? Do you know there is a great school that offers Game Programming somewhere in the west-europe? You're not only giving me some worthy advice, but you can also discuss with the others which is the best school of west Europe.
Why west Europe? This is because I won't go study further then west Europe, I want to stay close to Holland, so I can go there every now and then. I am planning on taking some friends with me, so keep that in mind.
Thanks a lot, and good luck discussing about it.
Marlon.

Not sure if this fits your needs, but there is a professor there named Dr. Mark Overmars who developed a neat little game dev kit called game maker.
I was intrigued by his work and wondered what kind of classes they have at his school.

Bruce Springsteen Jams With Jimmy Fallon on 'Bridgegate'
Classic "Born to Run" was hijacked for a funny take on scandal overshadowing the Governor's office.
Bruce Springsteen performed onstage with NBC talk show host Jimmy Fallon last night to sing a parody of "Born to Run" about the "Bridgegate" controversy. Fallon began the skit, dressed as Springsteen in the 1980s, with bandana, shades and sleeveless denim shirt. He did a great impression with an acoustic guitar, belting out scandal-inspired lyrics like, "maybe this Bridgegate was just payback, it's bitch-slap to the state Democrats. We got to get out while we can. We’re stuck in
Gov. Chris Christie’s Fort Lee N.J., traffic jam."Springsteen then appeared out of the shadows in shades with his guitar and sang: "Governor let me in, I want to be your friend.
There’ll be no partisan divisions." Watch the video above.

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
Posted on October 15, 2008 by Anisa My friend Genny always has her fingers on the pulse of the natural vs. artificial debate. Check out her blog here for a couple of commercials put out by the Corn Refiners Association promoting High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), along with a spoof on the commercials promoting the Nazi political party. Pretty funny, and at the same time, not at all funny. The commercials at the end say “Get the Facts” at SweetSurprise.com. Please do. You can connect to that website and another one called HFCSfacts.com through the Corn Refiners Association web link provided above. There is a lot of controversy surrounding HFCS. There is debate over whether it is a “natural” sweetener or not. It comes form corn, yet has to be incredibly processed to make it into HFCS. There is controversy over the environmental impacts of the corn industry and over the government’s involvement in the industry both politically and economically (the farm bill, in particular). The results of the most recent studies (as stated on any of the Corn websites) is that HFCS is safe to consume in moderation, just like table sugar. Yet, there is controversy over it being addictive, contributing to the surge of obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol in America since the 1980′s.
Here are a few articles (not studies, mind you) that I found interesting on the subject. They address the health issues, economic controversy and the environmental impacts of the High-Fructose Corn Syrup industry. Washington Post New York Times Mayo Clinic Advanced Health Institute
Happy reading.

Thanks for expanding on this. I was so fired up about this and felt it was so obviously ridiculous to think that HFCS is safe that I didn’t even focus on putting out any information that you did. Ya’ done good!

Those commercials are disgusting and funny… I’ll spread the word! …WORD.

I just saw a journal article today that exposed the presence of MERCURY in corn syrup.

Temporal arteritis is inflammation of the arteries. It affects the arteries in the head, neck, and
upper body. The temporal artery is most often affected. It runs over the temple, to the outside of the eye. In extreme or untreated cases, this condition can lead to blindness or strokes.
Two other terms often associated with this condition include:
Giant cell arteritis (GCA)
The cause of temporal arteritis is not known. It may result from an
autoimmune response in the body.
An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system mistakes the body’s own tissue for a foreign invader, attacking and damaging it.
Temporal arteritis is more common in women, and in people aged 50 years and older. It is also more common among Caucasians, especially those of Scandinavian or northern European descent. Other factors may increase your chance of getting temporal arteritis include:
Polymyalgia rheumatica—a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in muscles of the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, and thighs
Temporal arteritis may cause:
Scalp pain or tenderness over the temporal artery
Fever or
flu-like symptoms
Pain when chewing
Pain in the jaw or tongue
Loss of appetite and weight loss
Aches in the joints or muscles
Biopsy—removal of a sample of the temporal artery
Retinal exam
Ultrasound of the temporal artery
Corticosteroid Therapy
Corticosteroid therapy is used to decrease the swelling and inflammation. It will also help decrease the risk of blindness. At first, high doses
are often given. The doses are then tapered off. Therapy is often continued for several years.
Long-term use of corticosteroids has some harmful side effects. These may include:
Increased risk of infections
Stomach irritation
Supplements will help to stop these effects on the bone. The supplements may include:
Low-Dose Aspirin
Your doctor may recommend that you take low-dose aspirin every day. This may help to reduce the risk of vision loss associated with temporal arteritis.
There are no current guidelines to prevent temporal arteritis.

UPDATE: Muskego Woman Dies in Accident
Police investigate a single-vehicle crash, which occurred in the early morning hours of Saturday, and left an 18-year-old Muskego woman dead
Editor's note: this story was updated 7:30 a.m., Jan. 20.
Muskego police are investigating a crash on Henneberry Drive on Saturday that resulted in the death of an 18-year-old Muskego woman.
According to Muskego police:
At 1:16 a.m., police and Tess Corners Fire Department responded to the report of a single-vehicle accident in the W20300 block of Henneberry Drive, on Muskego's south side. The driver, an 18-year-old Muskego woman, was trapped in the vehicle, and had to be extricated. She was taken to Froedtert Hospital, where she died from injuries. While police are not releasing her name, they have confirmed she was a 2012 Muskego High School graduate.
The woman struck a utility pole that stands in Les Gumieny's yard, and he rushed out to assist the woman after hearing the crash, according to Fox 6.
Gumieny said the woman was conscious when he reached her but was in obvious pain. He said the vehicle had serious front end damage but didn't think the accident was as serious as it turned out. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/448 | {"url": "http://muskego.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/muskego-woman-dies-in-accident", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "muskego.patch.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:19:30Z", "digest": "sha1:UFTUPOYINMVEAHWPJZYFET6V662PM3N3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1185, 1185.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1185, 5654.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1185, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1185, 176.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1185, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1185, 245.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1185, 0.37890625]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1185, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1185, 0.05084746]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1185, 0.05720339]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1185, 0.07309322]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1185, 0.0078125]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1185, 0.19921875]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1185, 0.57788945]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1185, 4.74371859]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1185, 4.45164039]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1185, 199.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 180, 0.0], [180, 238, 1.0], [238, 371, 1.0], [371, 400, 0.0], [400, 842, 1.0], [842, 992, 1.0], [992, 1185, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 180, 0.0], [180, 238, 0.0], [238, 371, 0.0], [371, 400, 0.0], [400, 842, 0.0], [842, 992, 0.0], [992, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 39, 6.0], [39, 180, 21.0], [180, 238, 10.0], [238, 371, 21.0], [371, 400, 4.0], [400, 842, 73.0], [842, 992, 28.0], [992, 1185, 36.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 180, 0.01481481], [180, 238, 0.10204082], [238, 371, 0.01550388], [371, 400, 0.0], [400, 842, 0.03309693], [842, 992, 0.00689655], [992, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 180, 0.0], [180, 238, 0.0], [238, 371, 0.0], [371, 400, 0.0], [400, 842, 0.0], [842, 992, 0.0], [992, 1185, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.25641026], [39, 180, 0.0212766], [180, 238, 0.03448276], [238, 371, 0.03759398], [371, 400, 0.06896552], [400, 842, 0.04072398], [842, 992, 0.02666667], [992, 1185, 0.01036269]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1185, 0.96933955]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1185, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1185, 0.81380677]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1185, -22.23193366]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1185, 25.65294384]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1185, 7.65228134]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1185, 14.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Iraqi cleric calls off militias
The fighting began with operations against militias in Basra
Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr has ordered his fighters off the streets of Basra and other cities in an effort to end clashes with security forces.
He said in a statement that his movement wanted the Iraqi people to stop the bloodshed and maintain the nation's independence and stability. The government called the move "positive", while the military said a curfew in Baghdad would end on Monday. The fighting has claimed more than 240 lives across the country since Tuesday.
'Not one of us'
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki had given militias until 8 April to surrender their weapons in return for cash. But Hazem al-Araji, an aide to Moqtada Sadr, told journalists in Najaf the move would not mean handing in weapons. The BBC's Adam Brookes in Baghdad says this means the Mehdi Army will remain intact and although the move gives Nouri Maliki a chance to claim victory, the central demand has not been met and this is not a resolution of the conflict. The cleric's statement said: "Because of the religious responsibility, and to stop Iraqi blood being shed, and to maintain the unity of Iraq and to put an end to this sedition that the occupiers and their followers want to spread among the Iraqi people, we call for an end to armed appearances in Basra and all other provinces. "Anyone carrying a weapon and targeting government institutions will not be one of us." Moqtada Sadr told followers to "work with Iraqi government offices"
The cleric also demanded that the government apply the general amnesty law, release detainees and stop what he called illegal and random raids. Moqtada Sadr also told his followers to "work with Iraqi government offices to achieve security and to file charges against those who have committed crimes". A spokesman for Mr Maliki, Ali al-Dabbagh, told Iraq television the statement was positive. "As the government of Iraq we welcome this statement. We believe this will support the government of Iraq's efforts to impose security." He also warned: "The government will be forced to implement the law against those who do not obey the instructions of the government and of Sadr." A spokesman for the interior ministry, Maj-Gen Abdul Karim Khalaf, said government operations in Basra would continue, but would target "criminals". Casualties
In Baghdad, state television announced that a round-the-clock curfew would be lifted at 0600 (0300GMT) on Monday, although a vehicle ban will remain in force in three Shia areas in the city.
The curfew had been extended indefinitely on Saturday night, after a day of skirmishes between security forces and Shia militiamen in the capital and Basra. Coalition forces had become more involved, with US air raids in the two cities in recent days. Estimates vary of the number of deaths since the fighting broke out. Fighting in Baghdad has left 117 people dead over the past three days, Iraqi police told the BBC. In Basra, the British military has given a death toll of 50 but local medical sources report as many as 290 dead and the Iraqi army has reported killing 120 "enemy" fighters there. Scores of people are believed to have been killed in other southern cities, according to Iraqi police or medical reports. At least 44 people were killed in and around Kut, 15 in Nasiriya, 12 in Karbala and six in Hilla. E-mail this to a friend

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-439, an act to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (student loan).
I am very pleased to rise in the House today to introduce my private member's bill to change the bankruptcy act affecting students.
The purpose of my bill is to repeal the discriminatory changes that were made to the bankruptcy act that forced students suffering from high student debtload to wait from the previous two years to now ten years before they can access bankruptcy proceedings.
Despite high tuition fees and increasing student debt 93% of students do find a way to pay back their loans. It is only those students who are most desperate and most in debt who seek bankruptcy protection.
This bill would repeal the extended waiting period of ten years back to two years to make it fairer for students. I hope all members of the House will support this bill in recognition of the severe difficulties that students face today.
Criminal CodeRoutine Proceedings
Dan McTeague
Pickering—Ajax—Uxbridge, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-440, an act to amend the Criminal Code (flight).
The purpose of this bill is to amend the Criminal Code by adding a provision and penalties for anyone using a motor vehicle to evade police and in the process causing injury or death.
Fleeing from police by means that result in a high speed chase causes inordinate risks to the safety of their officers and to the public and merits special criminal sanction.
Current dangerous driving provisions of the Criminal Code are inadequate in dealing appropriately and specifically with such acts.
Under the bill any individual who operates a motor vehicle to evade a peace officer is guilty of an indictable offence under the Criminal Code and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
In addition, anyone who commits such an offence and in the process injures another person will be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years. Anyone causing death will be liable to imprisonment for life.
IranRoutine Proceedings
Svend Robinson
Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, following consultations with members on all sides of the House, I seek the unanimous consent of the House to put the following motion, seconded by the hon. members for Rosedale, Red Deer, Beauharnois—Salaberry, and Richmond—Arthabaska:
That this House express its profound concern over the recent grave attacks on the Iranian Baha'i community including the brutal execution of Mr. Rahu'llah Rawhani in July, arrests of 36 Baha'i academics, and confirmation of death sentences of two Baha'i men and the detention of 11 other Baha'i men for practising their faith; and calls upon the Government of Iran to end their oppression of the Baha'i community, ensure the safety and early release of all those Baha'i imprisoned in Iran, and respect the principles of the International Covenants on Human Rights to which Iran is a party.
(Motion agreed to)
Mr. Speaker, in view of the ongoing carnage, devastation and genocide taking place in the former Yugoslavia, I propose the following motion:
That in the opinion of this House the government should lobby the United Nations general assembly to indict Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic for crimes against humanity and lobby the United Nations to assemble a UN observer force to ensure the immediate withdrawal of Serbian forces from Kosovo, and allow the United Nations high commission for refugees and non-governmental organizations safe and unfettered access to Kosovo refugees.
Does the hon. member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca have the unanimous consent of the House to propose this motion?
There is no consent.
Langley—Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have petition to table from residents of my riding of Langley—Abbotsford. They ask parliament to enact Bill C-225, an act to amend the Marriage Act, so as to define in statute that a marriage can only be entered into between a single male and single female.
Ovid Jackson
Bruce—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I have the honour to present on behalf of the residents of Bruce—Grey two petitions.
In the first petitioners express their support for legislation with regard to Bill C-304 which would guarantee certain property rights to Canadian citizens.
Mr. Speaker, the second petition from constituents of Owen Sound, Annan, Meaford, Shallow Lake and Chatworth asks that parliament not finance or subsidize the sale of Candu reactors to China or any other country.
Mr. Speaker, since 1867 it has been a right of Canadians to petition the Parliament of Canada and the crown for redress of grievances.
I have three such petitions today which are asking the crown to review the hepatitis C compensation package for Canadians infected by tainted blood.
I would like to be able to add these to Joey Haché's petition of 30,000 names which was presented to the Prime Minister yet I found out through the clerk of petitions that the Prime Minister has not enacted his responsibility by presenting that to the House.
Therefore I present these 259 names from Okanagan—Coquihalla and ask where is Joey Haché's petition.
The hon. member better stick to the script for presentation of petitions and present the petition he has rather than worrying about other ones. I know it might be interesting to ask that kind of question, but clearly it is not a proper question at this time.
Mac Harb
Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by Canadians from Saskatchewan and Manitoba asking parliament to amend the Divorce Act to include a provision as proposed in Bill C-340 regarding the right of spouses' grandparents to access or to have custody of the child or children.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition on behalf of Leone and Peter Jackson and 99 other from North Vancouver.
They draw to the attention of the House that violent crimes committed by youth are of great concern to Canadians, that the incidence of violent crime by youth would decrease if the Young Offenders Act were amended to hold young persons fully accountable for their criminal behaviour, and to increase the periods of incarceration in order to defer young criminals from committing criminal acts.
The petitioners call on parliament to significantly amend the Young Offenders Act including but not limited to making the protection of society the number one priority, reducing the minimum age governed by the act from 12 to 10, allowing for the publishing of violent young offenders' names, increasing the maximum three year sentence for all offences except murder to seven years, and increasing the penalty for first degree murder from a maximum of 10 years to 15. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/512 | {"url": "http://openparliament.ca/debates/1998/10/7/libby-davies-1/", "partition":

One thing you can count on with the Detroit Lions is that they are never, ever boring. Follow the latest news including injuries, roster moves and more here daily from Oakland Press beat writer Paula Pasche. Plus you'll find regular commentary about the team.
Lions-Vikings recap
I don't know about you, but I'm more convinced than ever the Lions are going 0-16. Why? Because teams as bad as the Lions don't get gift-wrapped opportunities to win like this every week. They marched inside the Minnesota 10 three times Sunday, they equaled their season total with two interceptions, they forced three Adrian Peterson fumbles and the Vikings lost their starting quarterback to injury in the first half and committed a slew of penalties. And what did the Lions do with all those breaks? Nothing. They scored all of six points in the first half. They didn't recover a single Peterson fumbles, and backup Tarvaris Jackson became the seventh signal caller this year to set a career-high quarterback rating against the Lions. The end result: A 20-16 Minnesota win. It looked like the ball was bouncing our way, and that's something that hasn't happened this year a lot, said linebacker Ryan Nece, whose first-quarter interception set up a Jason Hanson field goal. It was bouncing our way and we just didn't capitalize in certain areas, and it's unfortunate because you got to take advantage. Anytime that football bounces your way you got to take advantage of it and put points on the board and put yourself in a position to change field position or whatever it may be, an opportunistic situation. And we just unfortunately didn't get it done. The Lions didn't get it done largely because they left too many points on the field early. They reached the Minnesota 4 on their first two drives but had to settle for Hanson field goals. They went for fourth-and-1s on their next two drives and failed to convert (Daunte Culpepper got stuffed on a quarterback sneak on the 5-yard line 46 seconds before halftime). And when they needed a defensive stop late, there were no plays to be found. The Vikings, ran, effectively, the final 5:44 off the clock, converting a third-and-4 and second-and-13 on Jackson passes to Bobby Wade and Chester Taylor. I think the biggest disappointment, at the end of the game we've got to stop them, Lions coach Rod Marinelli said. We played well for most of the game and when we had a chance and we needed a stop we didn't get that done. The Lions are 31-94 since 2001. That's the worst winning percentage (.248) over any eight-season span since 1950, according to STATS. They're also three losses from becoming the first team to go 0-16 in NFL history. Up next is a trip to Indianapolis, winners of six straight. Then a home game against New Orleans and the NFL's top-ranked offense. And the Lions close with a visit to Green Bay, where they haven't won since 1991. I can't blame Marinelli for being so aggressive early. That was the right call considering how bad the defense has been. But I do take issue with at least one of Jim Colletto's fourth-down play calls. On fourth-and-1 from the 30 late in the first half, Colletto dialed up a pass to John Standeford. This is the same John Standeford who didn't make the team out of training camp. I know Kevin Smith was stuffed for no gain a play earlier, but I'd rather take my chances with a handoff to him, a sneak by Culpepper or a pass to Calvin Johnson. And before you say the sneak to Culpepper didn't work two series later, there's no excuse for an offense line and a 280-pound quarterback not being able to get an inch, even against Pat and Kevin Williams, two of the best defensive tackles in the game. Definitely there was a wall, Kevin and Pat Williams, Culpepper said of his failed sneak. They made a play and we didn't make a play, simple as that. It's tough. That's football though. Culpepper on Marinelli's decision to be aggressive (he said he decided during the week to try and convert fourth-and-3 or shorter in Minnesota territory): You got to be aggressive, I think, in this situation definitely. I like Coach Marinelli's attitude. He's just like, hey, let's go get something, and we just got to when the coach believes in us like that to go for it on fourth down, we got to do our job as players to make the play. Culpepper did leave late in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury, which means the Lions could start their fourth different quarterback next week. Jon Kitna made four starts before the Lions stashed him on injured reserve with a bad back, Dan Orlovsky started four games before getting knocked out with a fractured thumb, and Culpepper's started the last five weeks. He said he doesn't know the extent of his injury, but will have an MRI Monday. Drew Henson replaced him for the final play (and was sacked). There's a chance Orlovsky could return this week. If not and if Culpepper can't go Drew Stanton could make his first career start in what appears to be a totally unwinnable game. One more quote from Vikings safety Darren Sharper on the atmosphere at Ford Field: It was about a half-filled stadium. It seemed as though we were at a morgue more than a football game. Lastly, barring the occurrence of some totally newsworthy event, the blog will take a couple days off. I won't be at Marinelli's weekly press conference Monday because my wife and I are expecting our first baby and have our first ultrasound scheduled. I'll return with regular updates Wednesday.Labels: Dan Orlovsky, Daunte Culpepper, Detroit Lions, Drew Henson, Drew Stanton, Jason Hanson, Jim Colletto, John Standeford, Kevin Smith, Kevin Williams, Pat Williams, Rod Marinelli, Ryan Nece

Thanks for all the kind words and congratulations. It's been a crazy few weeks and we're definitely excited.My wife wasn't feeling good yesterday (it was the flu, not morning sickness) and just threw on an old Detroit Lions sweatshirt she got when I renewed my Sports Illustrated subscription a few years ago. The first thing we hear when we walk in the door: You're a brave person to be wearing that.It ain't easy being a Lions fan right now.

May 14, 2013 @ 4:37AM FBI Searching For Missing Montana Teacher
Posted on Jan 11, 2012 @ 3:00AM
Authorities are going door to door searching for clues into the disappearance of missing mom and beloved teacher Sherry Arnold.
The 43-year-old mother of five went for a run on Saturday, January 7 and hasn’t been seen since. Police found a single running shoe in a ditch along her route in Sidney, Montana.
The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating the possibility that she was abducted from the town, which borders North Dakota, according to HelenAir.com/Independent Record.

Federal Agent Deborah Bertrand said tips were coming in about Arnold, but did not reveal any details.
“At some point we feel like we’ve exhausted the possibilities in that area where she was last seen and apparently disappeared from,” Bertrand said of the door to door investigation. “We’re glad to have all the attention we’re getting,” she said about the tips coming in. “We want to get her name and face out there.”

Arnold is a popular math teacher who grew up in the town. She is married to Gary Arnold and they have five children, including two who still live at home and attend the school where their mother has worked for the last 18 years.
The Mayor of Sidney, Bret Smelser, said that the school district has provided buses to transport members of search teams and has set up a fund to help with the investigation. He also said law enforcement spoke with Sherry’s family members and parents, Ron and Sharon Whited.
“The promise they made Ron and Sharon was that they wouldn’t give up until they had found something or found Sherry,” Smelser said. The telephone hotline for tips is (406) 433-4027.

We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love. --Mother Teresa
There is a girl at my work that I find very attractive
Visitor's Question from a 21-30 year old MaleHi. There is a girl at my work that I find very attractive - both in personality and in looks. She works in a different department (tho quite nearby), so I see her most days yet I have only had a few short convos with her, however I cannot help but be attracted by her kind, gentle manner, plus she is *SO* pretty!
I checked with a trusted colleague to make sure she is single, and I got an enthusiatic 'yes', so today I went for it and asked her out for a drink. I know all about the whole acting cool thing, and approaching her in a confident and sincere way - these things I did. And she said yes! However, despite my confident demeanour, I wasn't ready for the 'yes', and didn't suggest a time and place, although we did chat about stuff on the way back to our offices. We are both very busy at work and as such did not get chance to speak again today - it would have been difficult with all our colleagues about.
I'm really not used to this kind of situation, and yet I didn't feel nervous or anything, and I don't want to take this too seriously since this is only the preliminary bit! My question is this: What do I say when I return to work after the weekend? I hope I haven't put her off by not having a definite plan when she agreed to go out. I have to be able to remind her about the 'date' without seeming pushy...
Many thanks and good luck to all.RomanceClass.com AdviceShe said YES so she's waiting on you to suggest something!
So do it! Monday morning, stop by her desk and say, "hey, there's this new club opening on 54th street. How about we go there tonight?" And she'll say YES.
Just go for it! | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/598 | {"url": "http://romanceclass.com/advice/answer4221", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "romanceclass.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:17:57Z", "digest": "sha1:VOFSBGFO5PGRILL3KCQU5MRYF2ORBMWL"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1806, 1806.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1806, 4168.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1806, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1806, 85.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1806, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1806, 308.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1806, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1806, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1806, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1806, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1806, 0.50947867]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1806, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1806, 0.06195965]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1806, 0.06195965]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1806, 0.06195965]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1806, 0.06195965]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1806, 0.06195965]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1806, 0.06195965]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1806, 0.01008646]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1806, 0.01152738]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1806, 0.01729107]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1806, 0.0521327]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1806, 0.125]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1806, 0.15165877]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1806, 0.54755043]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1806, 4.0]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1806, 0.00236967]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1806, 4.88718619]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1806, 347.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 147, 0.0], [147, 507, 1.0], [507, 1110, 1.0], [1110, 1520, 1.0], [1520, 1635, 1.0], [1635, 1791, 1.0], [1791, 1806, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 147, 0.0], [147, 507, 0.0], [507, 1110, 0.0], [1110, 1520, 0.0], [1520, 1635, 0.0], [1635, 1791, 0.0], [1791, 1806, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 92, 16.0], [92, 147, 12.0], [147, 507, 69.0], [507, 1110, 116.0], [1110, 1520, 82.0], [1520, 1635, 18.0], [1635, 1791, 30.0], [1791, 1806, 4.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 147, 0.0], [147, 507, 0.01162791], [507, 1110, 0.0], [1110, 1520, 0.0], [1520, 1635, 0.0], [1635, 1791, 0.01388889], [1791, 1806, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 92, 0.0], [92, 147, 0.0], [147, 507, 0.0], [507, 1110, 0.0], [1110, 1520, 0.0], [1520, 1635, 0.0], [1635, 1791, 0.0], [1791, 1806, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 92, 0.04347826], [92, 147, 0.03636364], [147, 507, 0.03333333], [507, 1110, 0.01492537], [1110, 1520, 0.02439024], [1520, 1635, 0.06956522], [1635, 1791, 0.04487179], [1791, 1806, 0.06666667]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1806, 0.2318083]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1806, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1806, 0.02938509]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1806, 24.07298]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1806, -7.10653236]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1806, -242.36203716]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1806, 21.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

76ers 97, Knicks 80
PHILADELPHIA -- Jrue Holiday celebrated his first All-Star selection by scoring a career-high 35 points Saturday night as the Philadelphia 76ers routed the New York Knicks 97-80. The fourth-year point guard, named an Eastern Conference reserve Thursday, made 16 of 25 shots from the floor and had six assists and five rebounds, helping the Sixers (18-25) snap a two-game losing streak. Philadelphia also avenged two blowout losses to the Atlantic Division-leading Knicks early in the season. Nick Young and Evan Turner had 20 points apiece for the Sixers, who began the night averaging 93.2 points per game, third worst in the league. But they breezed to a 29-point lead late in the third quarter and were never threatened thereafter. They shot 50.7 percent from the floor. About the only thing that went awry for the Sixers was the departure of coach Doug Collins in the second half to undergo a dental examination. Collins lost a tooth before the game. Carmelo Anthony had 25 points to pace New York (26-15). But Anthony, the league's third-leading scorer at 29 points per game, made just 9 of 29 shots from the floor. The Knicks shot 34.8 percent as a team and missed 23 of 27 3-point attempts. They began the night fourth in the league in 3-point accuracy. Amare Stoudemire added 20 points for the Knicks. Knicks point guard Raymond Felton, making his first appearance after missing 12 games with a broken finger, made just 2 of 8 shots from the field and finished with eight points and three assists. The Sixers outscored the Knicks 29-12 in the first 10:32 of the third quarter to extend a 53-41 halftime lead to 82-53. Thaddeus Young had 14 points and Holiday 10 in that stretch. Holiday scored 19 points in the first half, when the Sixers shot 56.1 percent from the field to take a 53-41 lead. Anthony and Stoudemire had 14 and 12 points, respectively, for the Knicks, who shot just 35.7 percent from the field and missed 12 of their 15 3-point attempts. NOTES: Spencer Hawes and Nick Young started at center and guard for the Sixers, respectively. It was Hawes' first start of the season and Young's fourth, as Collins sought to find a way to improve his team's first-quarter performance. "We've won 10 first quarters all year out of 42, which is second worst in the NBA," he said. "We're 10-1 when we've won or tied the first quarter. ... Last year, we used to come out strong and get the defense set. That's not been the case this year." The Sixers got out to an early 12-2 lead and were up 24-19 after a quarter. ... Knicks coach Mike Woodson was asked about his players accepting revised roles, now that Felton, Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert have returned from injuries. "They don't have a choice," Woodson said. "You either accept your role or you don't play." ... Woodson does not plan to play Shumpert more than 30 minutes a game. ... Sixers guard Jason Richardson missed his third straight game with a sore left knee. ... Collins was delayed in addressing reporters before the game when he lost a tooth. "The other guy's in trouble," he joked. ... Collins drew a technical foul with 3:32 left in the first quarter, arguing an illegal-screen call against Lavoy Allen.BasketballSports & RecreationSixersJrue HolidayNick YoungAmare Stoudemire | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/635 | {"url": "http://sports.yahoo.com/news/76ers-97-knicks-80-030007167--nba.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "sports.yahoo.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T09:34:10Z", "digest": "sha1:OG6WH67JVKVWIX6ZK4SQPQBOPMK36ZUQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3275, 3275.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3275, 6491.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3275, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3275, 120.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3275, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3275, 240.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3275, 0.33755274]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3275, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3275, 0.01745539]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3275, 0.01396431]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3275, 0.01318852]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3275, 0.00421941]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3275, 0.25035162]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3275, 0.49371634]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3275, 4.62836625]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3275, 0.00843882]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3275, 5.13284538]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3275, 557.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 20, 4.0], [20, 3275, 553.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.33333333], [20, 3275, 0.03595506]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 3275, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.05], [20, 3275, 0.03717358]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3275, 0.50279814]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3275, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3275, 0.8546018]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3275, -99.56733621]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3275, 42.121616]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3275, 11.05519762]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3275, 39.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Pixar’s Top Creative Minds Enlighten the Hamptons
Posted on October 10, 2010 by John Frost Editor: Please welcome back guest author Daniel Wanderman
This morning I had a very unique opportunity at peeking behind the curtain, into the minds of a couple of Pixar’s finest: Toy Story 3 Director Lee Unkrich and Producer Darla K. Anderson. These two were engaged in an hour-long, in-depth conversation with two New York journalists at The Hamptons Film Festival’s Animation Master Class Panel. The program began by showing us the opening sequence from Toy Story 3. After the clip faded, the screen rose to reveal the panelists and moderators. They went on to discuss a range of topics about the film including some of the challenges they faces. Here are some of the more memorable moments and stories:
- Unkrich emphasizes story and emotion as being the most important aspects of their films. He describes their role at the studio not as animators or filmmakers, but as storytellers.
- In describing the pressure brought on by continuing the Toy Story legacy, Unkrich stated that he “woke up every morning wanting to vomit over the side of the bed” and didn’t want the third movie to be compared to ‘The Bad News Bears Go To Japan’.
- Anderson has never thought of Pixar as a children’s film studio, rather just a film studio that produces films for everyone and are kid friendly. They agree that the most risque line in TS3 was Barbie complimenting Ken on his ascot. They faced some criticism, but it Unkrich says it was “too good to pass up”.
- Unkrich tells us that the biggest challenge of producing an animated feature versus live action is being able to create the “illusion of spontaneity”. He goes on to tell us that technology isn’t what makes the film so beautiful, it is the level of artistry of the animators using the technology that makes it look so fantastic.
- Anderson tells us that they wanted the audience to find Bonnie’s character to be “super appealing”. They wanted us to be happy and proud that the Toy Story gang ended up with her. Unkrich reveals that Bonnie’s drawings of Woody and the gang were done by his own children and that many of the drawings on display at Sunnyside were done by children of Pixar employees.
Children’s drawings from Sunnyside Day Care on display at the The Magic of Disney Animation at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Unkrich is happy with the final cut of the film but if he could make one change it would be to include BoPeep in the opening sequence somehow. They wanted the opening sequence to be huge and over-the-top since this is the first time in over ten years that the audience gets to ‘play’ with their favorite toys. The original plan was to reveal the teenage Andy right after this scene, but later it was decided to create a montage of home movies leading to the present day Andy. By the time this decision was made, it was too late to go back and incorporate BoPeep into the sequence.

- Both panelists agreed that the actors don’t get enough credit for the amount of work they put into voicing the characters. Most actors stick to the script but some do a lot of improving. Unkrich tells us a story about his favorite improvised line by actor Michael Keaton (voice of Ken):
- In how to handle the trash compactor scene, Unkrich wanted the characters to “face the situation with quiet dignity” by holding hands and baring their demise instead of them jumping around and panicking.
- Before showing us the final scene of the film in which Andy donates the toys to Bonnie and drives away, Unkrich tells us a personal story about the last time he saw his grandmother before she passed away. She had been suffering with cancer, and on his last day of visiting her, he drove her to a restaurant where she was attending a friends birthday party. Before he left the restaurant, he looked at her and saw how happy she was with her friends. He took a “mental snapshot”, closed his eyes, turned his head, and walked away. He knew it would be the last time he saw her and wanted to keep that memory of her. Unkrich told this same story to his animators in order to capture these emotions for Andy. He felt that by doing this, he could create a more powerful and realistic emotion for the character.

Unkrich and Anderson close the session by telling us that they plan to be working on another Pixar film together and that they “complete each other”.
The only things that weren’t covered that I was curious about was their thoughts on the controversy of 3D films in theaters and at home, Lotso’s role as a cute and cuddly villain that theme park goers line up to meet, and if Mr. Tortilla Head or Mr. Cucumber head will get a spin-off film. I was also surprised that the November 2nd Blu-Ray/DVD release was not plugged at all. Overall, I was very happy that I was able to attend this event and share all of these great tidbits with you!

hide Iran to strengthen naval presence over disputed islands
Sunday, November 04, 2012 7:06 a.m. CST
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran will increase its naval presence in the Gulf to strengthen its authority over three islands which the United Arab Emirates says are its territory, Tehran said on Sunday.
The islands sit near oil shipping routes at the mouth of the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the challenge over their sovereignty is a constant threat to Iran's fragile relations with its Arab neighbors.
"The security of the Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf is part of the various strategies of the naval force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," IRGC Commander Mohammad Ali Jafari said, according to the website of state television IRIB.
Jafari was speaking at a ceremony inaugurating a fifth "naval defense zone" at the port of Bandar Lengeh. He said the IRGC was "increasing, expanding and improving the expert capability in naval defense" in the five zones.
"The fifth zone of the Guards' naval force is one of the naval defense chains which is in particular responsible for the defense of the Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf," he said.
The 41-year-old dispute between Shi'ite Muslim Iran and the Sunni UAE over the islands - Greater and Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa - has nationalist and ethnic overtones and was inflamed when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Abu Musa in April.
In September, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan said Iran's "occupation" of the three islands was against international law.
Last month Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Tehran would consider downgrading ties with the UAE over the dispute, although the foreign ministry later denied the report, according to state television.

Ted Robbins 2010
As an NPR correspondent based in Tucson, Arizona, Ted Robbins covers the Southwest including Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. Specifically, Robbins reports on a range of issues from immigration and border security to water issues and wildfires. He covers the economy in the West with an emphasis on the housing market and Las Vegas development. He reported on the January 2011, Tucson shooting that killed six and injured many included Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. From Tombstone to Santa Fe, Phoenix to Las Vegas and Moab to Indian Country, there's no shortage of people, politics and places worth covering in the growing American Southwest. Robbins' reporting is driven by his curiosity to find, understand and communicate all sides of each story through accurate, clear and engaging coverage. In addition to his domestic work, Robbins has reported internationally in Mexico, El Salvador, Nepal and Sudan. Robbins' reporting has been honored with numerous accolades, including two Emmy Awards: one for his story on sex education in schools, and another for his series on women in the workforce. He received a CINE Golden Eagle for a 1995 documentary on Mexican agriculture called "Tomatoes for the North." In 2006, Robbins wrote an article for the Neiman Reports at Harvard about journalism and immigration. He was chosen for a 2009 French-American Foundation Fellowship focused on comparing European and U.S. immigration issues. Raised in Los Angeles, Robbins became an avid NPR listener while spending hours driving (or stopped in traffic) on congested freeways. He is delighted to now be covering stories for his favorite news source. Prior to coming to NPR in 2004, Robbins spent five years as a regular contributor to The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, 15 years at the PBS affiliate in Tucson, and worked as a field producer for CBS News. He worked for NBC affiliates in Tucson and Salt Lake City, where he also did some radio reporting and print reporting for USA Today. Robbins earned his Bachelor of Arts in psychology and his master's degree in journalism, both from the University of California at Berkeley.

Sat August 24, 2013 Cutting Public Defenders Can Cost Federal Government More
Courts in Tucson, Ariz., are turning to private lawyers to represent clients who would have had public defenders. Chris Morrison
Share Tweet E-mail By Ted Robbins Originally published on Mon August 26, 2013 1:32 pm Listen These days, the Federal Public Defender's Office in Tucson, Ariz., has lots of space. Since the federal budget cuts known as sequestration began, the office has lost a quarter of its staff to layoffs or furloughs. Under the Constitution, clients still need legal representation, so judges have to appoint private attorneys to replace the public defenders. The sequester was supposed to save money. But in this case, the sequester is costing federal dollars. Read more Shots - Health News
Wed June 12, 2013 In Arizona, An Unlikely Ally For Medicaid Expansion
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, points during an intense conversation with President Obama after he arrived at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Ariz. She has since made light of the incident in trying to rally support for a Medicaid expansion in the state. Haraz N. Ghanbari
Share Tweet E-mail By Ted Robbins Originally published on Wed June 12, 2013 6:20 pm Listen The Arizona Legislature is debating whether to extend Medicaid to about 300,000 people in the state. The expansion is a requirement to get federal funding under the Affordable Care Act. The big surprise is who has been leading the charge: Republican Gov. Jan Brewer. She's one of President Obama's staunchest critics and has confounded conservatives in her own party by supporting the expansion. Google the words "Brewer" and "Obama." You'll get a now-famous image of Brewer wagging her finger at the president on the tarmac last year when she met him in Phoenix. Read more U.S.

Computerized "expert systems" are among the best known applications of artificial intelligence. But what is expertise? The nature of knowledge and expertise, and their relation to context, is the focus of active discussion — even controversy — among psychologists, philosophers, computer scientists, and other cognitive scientists. The questions reach to the very foundations of cognitive theory — with new perspectives contributed by the social sciences. These debates about the status and nature of expert knowledge are of interest to and informed by the artificial intelligence community — with new perspectives contributed by "constructivists" and "situationalists." The twenty-three essays in this volume discuss the essential nature of expert knowledge, as well as such questions such as how "expertise" differs from mere "knowledge," the relation between the individual and group processes involved in knowledge in general and expertise in particular, the social and other contexts of expertise, how expertise can be assessed, and the relation between human and computer expertise.

Starting a Wellness Program in Your Company
By Anne RosivachWith health insurance expenses expected to continue to rise, employers are looking for wellness programs that can potentially reduce the cost of health care to both the employer and the employee. Employers benefit because healthy employees are more productive; employees gain because their out-of-pocket costs are reduced. A recent Benefits Advisors Network (BAN) [1] webinar emphasized the importance of comprehensive wellness programs. "A lot of us are very well meaning. For years, health risk assessments and biometrics screenings have been the core of wellness programs. Certainly, it's important to set some metrics we can track over time, BUT we have to make sure we're not putting all of our eggs into the assessment basket and not leaving anything for actual interventions." Successful programs begin with a buy-in at the top and leverage all resources within a company. Success is dependent on the continuing commitment of the employer and employees. Regular screening, combined with intervention where appropriate; changes in culture and workplace policies; and small incentives all contribute to successful programs in both large and small companies. Program Design Comprehensive, effective programs incorporate the following design features:Health advocacyCare coordinationCase managementConsumer-driven plansHealth risk assessmentValue-based benefit designs Wellness programs should also include: Occupational health, such as health screenings and case managementEmployee counseling and assistance, with an emphasis on prevention as well as treatmentCrisis intervention Ongoing support groupsAftercare treatmentOn-site health facilities Appropriate InterventionsFollowing up on health risk screenings is an important feature of any wellness program. Health education, supportive environments, and linkage to other employee support services are all appropriate follow-up interventions. Programs should also determine the needs and interests of employees through surveys, focus groups, or a wellness advisory team. Wellness involves behavior change, webinar speakers said. "We have to realize our limitations in the complex area of behavior change. We can lead a horse to water, or lead an employee to a program, but we really can't force behavior change upon him or her. The individual must be willing." Among others, a supportive environment that encourages healthy behavior includes: A smoke-free policyOn-site food resources On-site catering policiesQuiet space or a stress-break stationOn-site medical clinicsA release time policy IncentivesCultural and behavioral changes can be set in motion by using some common incentive approaches. In fact, 46 percent of employees in companies that offer incentives complete health risk assessments versus 19 percent of employees who are not offered incentives. Small financial incentives, in the range of $40-$60 per month, can generate short-term behavior changes in many participants. Behavior changes could be relatively simple, such as an employee completing a health risk assessment or biometric screening. Financial incentives also appear to be effective in encouraging participation in health coaching and to engage in worksite activities and team challenges. Where major behavior changes are required, however, financial incentives show only a short-term effect. Other common incentive approaches include special employee recognition programs or reduced health insurance deductibles or co-pays. Wellness-specific performance goals could be tied in with reviews and merit increases. Incentives alone do not lead to internal changes, such as deciding to change one's diet or exercise more, and they may not be a practical tactic for sustained improvements in population health. Healthy behaviors result from a commitment to a comprehensive approach that balances screening, interventions, and a supportive environment.

Miami Heat top San Antonio Spurs, force Finals Game 7

MIAMI - For three quarters, it was not LeBron James' finest night.
The Miami Heat superstar entered Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs averaging 31.5 points, 10 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 11 elimination games. But entering the fourth quarter Tuesday night, James had missed nine of 12 shots, and the Heat trailed by 10 points.
With Miami's season on the line and another premature referendum on James' legacy up for discussion, James delivered with 16-fourth quarter points and two in overtime, leading the Heat to a 103-100 victory -- it was a classic -- and forcing one more game.
"I had a couple turnovers, couple mistakes," James said afterward. "I can live with those mistakes knowing I gave my all tonight. Live to see another day."
James and Ray Allen hit consecutive threes in the final 20.3 seconds of the fourth quarter, tying the score at 95-95 and producing the first overtime game of the series. Allen's game-tying three was made possible when San Antonio forward Kawhi Leonard made 1 of 2 free throws with 19.4 seconds left.
James' basket with 1:01 left in overtime put Miami ahead 101-100, and Allen made two free throws with 1.9 seconds left, making it 103-100.
"Until time runs out we have an opportunity to win this game," Allen said.
Chris Bosh came out with two outstanding defensive plays, blocking a Tony Parker jumper with 32.2 seconds left and Danny Green's three-point attempt as time expired in overtime.
"I knew they were going to run something for a three-point shooter," Bosh said of the final play. "I just didn't know where. I was looking at Tim Duncan's eyes the whole time. Tiago (Splitter) set a pretty good screen on Ray, and I just followed the flight of the ball. With 1.9 seconds, there's not much you can do. I saw the ball the ball the whole time, and I was able to make a play."
Bring on Game 7 Thursday (9 p.m. ET, ABC). It is the NBA's first Game 7 in the Finals since 2010 and the sixth Game 7 in the Finals since 1980.
"One game, that's it," said Allen, who played in the 2010 Finals' Game 7 with the Boston Celtics. "We gotta go out here and do our best and leave it out on the floor."
James finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists and kept Miami's hopes alive for a second consecutive NBA championship. It was his 11th playoff triple-double and his fourth Finals triple-double, including his second this series. Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Wes Unseld, Jerry West and Bill Russell are the only other players with a triple-double in an elimination game.
"This is by far the best game I've ever been associated with," James said. "I"m happy about the way we dug down and was able to get a win that didn't look like we could muster up at some point during the game."
The pattern of lopsided results ended - the past four games had been determined by more than 10 points - but the trend of win-loss, win-loss extended. No team has won consecutive games in this series, and the Heat will have to do so in order to win a second championship in a row.
"If you said September 29th when we started our trip going to China if we could decide this season with a Game 7 in our building, every single one of us take it," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "You know, they're the two words in team sports: Game 7."
History is working for and against both teams. In their previous four championships, the Spurs have never trailed (advantage San Antonio). But no team has won the final two games of a Finals series on the road since the advent of the 2-3-2 Finals format in 1985 (advantage Miami).
"You can't win a game with a statistic," Spoelstra said earlier in the series. "You've got to win it on the court."
That's what the Heat did in Game 6, preventing back-to-back losses for the first time since early January. For a long stretch, the Spurs were headed to their fifth NBA title in 15 seasons.
Tim Duncan scored 25 of his 30 points in the first half, and the Spurs led 75-65 at the end of the third quarter.
James came to life just in time, leading the Heat on a 20-7 run in the first six minutes, 32 seconds of the fourth quarter. James scored 11 of those points, and the Heat led 85-82 with 5:28 remaining.
But the Spurs, especially Duncan, Parker, Manu Ginobili and Coach Gregg Popovich, have been in these situations too many times to wilt. San Antonio took a 94-89 lead before Miami's series-saving rally forced overtime.
James hit a three, then after the Spurs hit a free throw, James missed a three that was rebounded by Bosh, who kicked out to Allen for his tying three.
"If it's not me taking the shot," James said, laughing, "I have no problem with Ray taking that shot. He had ice water in his veins. He's big time. We're so happy to have him, man. He creates so much for our team."
Said Heat forward Shane Battier: "If there's one guy you want the ball to be swung to on a situation like that, it's Walter Ray Allen. After years of doing that to us, it was great to be on the right side of that for once."
It was uncharacteristic of San Antonio to squander a five-point lead with less than 30 seconds left in regulation. Some Heat fans didn't see the fantastic finish, leaving the arena at that time.
"It's obviously disappointing, having the lead that we went into the fourth with," Duncan said. "The opportunities we had to close it out. It is what it is. It's a one-game series now. I don't know what happened in the fourth and in overtime. Just the opportunities weren't there. I did have some opportunities, just missed shots. Whatever you want to call it. Just a disappointing loss."
Mario Chalmers had 20 points, and Chalmers, Mike Miller and Shane Battier led the Heat's three-point attack, making 11 of 19. Dwyane Wade added 14 points, and Bosh had 10 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and those two huge blocks.
They negated the big game from Duncan, and for the most part kept the other Spurs in check, especially Green. Manu Ginobili didn't repeat his outstanding Game 5 performance, and Tony Parker did not have best shooting game.
"Bad. Very bad. It's a tough moment," Ginobili said about his performance. "We were a few seconds away from winning the championship, and we let it go. It's very tough."
Ginobili, in fact, had a really bad stretch at the end of overtime. With 40.5 seconds left, he threw a bad pass that was picked off by James. Then with with seconds remaining, he lost the ball while driving to the basket that was grabbed by Allen, who was fouled at hit the two free throws.
"It was a hell of a game. It was a hell of a game," Popovich said. "It was an OT game. It was a game of mistakes. And they ended up on the winning side."
Miami's defense had just enough to stop San Antonio, which shot 58.3% in the first half but finished at 43.5%.
Spoelstra did not make another change in the starting lineup, staying with forward Mike Miller in favor of forward Udonis Haslem.
"It's more how than who, and that's been our focus yesterday and today," Spoelstra said 90 minutes before tip-off.
The Heat again struggled against San Antonio's precision offense. Spoelstra made the bold decision to lock down on Spurs three-point specialist Danny Green. That part of the plan worked. Green, who already set a Finals record for three-pointers made in a series, made one on five tries and scored three points.
But that left Duncan with several opportunities. Duncan took advantage of Miami's focus on Green, making his first eight shots of the game, including six in the first quarter. Miami did a better job limiting three-point attempts, but struggled to contain Duncan.
He scored 13 consecutive points during a stretch in the second quarter, and the Spurs erased 44-39 deficit with an 11-0 run to finish the half.
Both teams were hot early - the Spurs started 8-for-11 and the Heat 7-for-11 - and both coaches called quick first-quarter timeouts after the other team scored. Neither wanted to let the game get away early.
Miami had a habit of falling behind early in this series, but it avoided that pothole in Game 6 with strong offense. Each Heat starter scored in the opening quarter, and James had five points and five assists, accounting for 19 of Miami's 27 first-quarter points.
Now, the Spurs must regroup.
We were in the right position to close it out," Duncan said. "(LeBron) found a way to put his team over the top. And we just didn't make enough plays to do that. I don't know that's it's any more complicated than that. You're in a situation in a closeout game and you have a lead like we did, it's just unfortunate we didn't take advantage of it."

Bean harvest should beat weather systemAuthored by Jim Langham on Oct 29, 2012With the unpredictable harbinger of one of the worst storms in weather history threatening the eastern third of the nation for the first half of this week, southern Adams County farmers worked feverishly over the weekend to complete the harvest of this year’s bean crop.
The encroaching storm, said weather specialist Rick McCoy, will remain totally unpredictable for at least the next 24 hours.
“While it appears that the brunt of this unprecedented storm will stay just to the east of us, it would not be unreasonable for us to see some wet snow flakes to mix in with blowing rain Monday night and Tuesday,” said McCoy. “The National Weather Service is thinking now that there could be sustained winds of 35 miles per hour and gusts of 50 miles per hour or better, even in this area, especially during the day on Tuesday.”
McCoy said that it is eerie when he hears specialist from the National Weather Service referring to the overall storm as, “the worst we’ve ever witnessed,” on a widespread basis.
In the meantime, Lehman said on Sunday that that he thinks that nearly all the bean crop would be harvested by later today.
“Farmers have had the chance to get at these soybeans for the past couple of days. If they still get today (Monday), I think that most of them will be completed by this evening,” said Lehman. “It’s been kind of tough getting some of them in with the rain we’ve had and the wet ground. No-till ground seems to be doing the best.
“Well over 90 percent of the beans are in. We had a good run on Saturday,” said Lehman. “The yields are phenomenal, some of the best that we’ve ever had. The timing of the rains we had in late summer, once it started raining again, was just perfect to set the pods,” added Lehman.
Lehman said that while there are some occasional reports of higher yields, consistent yields have been in the upper 50 to low 60 bushes per acre category.
“It’s just an excellent crop,” said Lehman. “When they couldn’t take beans, farmers have taken off some corn.”
The corn harvest, Lehman said, has varied according to geography, in comparison to rainfall, soil types and other lay of the ground.
He noted that some areas produced between 70 and 100 bushels per acre while other locations saw upwards from 140 to 150 bushels per care.
Results in surrounding areas have been similar. Jerry Powell, who farms in Mercer County near the tiny community of Wabash, several miles southeast of Chattanooga, said that farmers in his area were overwhelmed by the success of the beans, and even the way some of the corn turned out.
“God sure has been good to us, not only in yield but in prices. In spite of the kind of summer we’ve had, he sure has taken care of us,” Powell said.
“These are the best prices we’ve ever had at harvest,” said Lehman.
Lehman noted that corn is averaging $8 a bushel and beans around the Berne area are currently selling at $15.50 per bushel.
“We’ve never seen anything like this, considering the drought we had in the first part of the summer,” said Lehman. “There’s no doubt about it; God has answered prayer. He has really been good to our farmers this year.”
Concerning weather over the next couple of days, McCoy advises residents to stay closely advised by local forecasts.
“With a storm of this magnitude, things can change quickly,” said McCoy, who said that some accumulating snow is predicted across most of the southern three-fourths of Ohio. “It bears watching until it has completely moved out of the area.” | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/901 | {"url": "http://www.bernetriweekly.com/news/bean-harvest-should-beat-weather-system", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.bernetriweekly.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:41:53Z", "digest": "sha1:45YYHDKBZCXSBAXSCSHWFVDB3UK2KSMK"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3557, 3557.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3557, 5288.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3557, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3557, 79.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3557, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3557, 281.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3557, 0.46452477]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3557, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3557, 0.02105263]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3557, 0.0154386]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3557, 0.00133869]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3557, 0.15662651]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3557, 0.49365079]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3557, 4.52380952]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3557, 5.20015954]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3557, 630.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 349, 1.0], [349, 474, 1.0], [474, 903, 1.0], [903, 1082, 1.0], [1082, 1206, 1.0], [1206, 1534, 1.0], [1534, 1815, 1.0], [1815, 1970, 1.0], [1970, 2081, 1.0], [2081, 2214, 1.0], [2214, 2352, 1.0], [2352, 2638, 1.0], [2638, 2788, 1.0], [2788, 2856, 1.0], [2856, 2980, 1.0], [2980, 3200, 1.0], [3200, 3317, 1.0], [3317, 3557, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 349, 0.0], [349, 474, 0.0], [474, 903, 0.0], [903, 1082, 0.0], [1082, 1206, 0.0], [1206, 1534, 0.0], [1534, 1815, 0.0], [1815, 1970, 0.0], [1970, 2081, 0.0], [2081, 2214, 0.0], [2214, 2352, 0.0], [2352, 2638, 0.0], [2638, 2788, 0.0], [2788, 2856, 0.0], [2856, 2980, 0.0], [2980, 3200, 0.0], [3200, 3317, 0.0], [3317, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 349, 57.0], [349, 474, 19.0], [474, 903, 80.0], [903, 1082, 30.0], [1082, 1206, 23.0], [1206, 1534, 63.0], [1534, 1815, 54.0], [1815, 1970, 27.0], [1970, 2081, 18.0], [2081, 2214, 22.0], [2214, 2352, 25.0], [2352, 2638, 49.0], [2638, 2788, 32.0], [2788, 2856, 12.0], [2856, 2980, 22.0], [2980, 3200, 39.0], [3200, 3317, 18.0], [3317, 3557, 40.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 349, 0.0173913], [349, 474, 0.01652893], [474, 903, 0.00947867], [903, 1082, 0.0], [1082, 1206, 0.0], [1206, 1534, 0.0], [1534, 1815, 0.00738007], [1815, 1970, 0.02631579], [1970, 2081, 0.0], [2081, 2214, 0.0], [2214, 2352, 0.08088235], [2352, 2638, 0.0], [2638, 2788, 0.0], [2788, 2856, 0.0], [2856, 2980, 0.04201681], [2980, 3200, 0.0], [3200, 3317, 0.0], [3317, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 349, 0.0], [349, 474, 0.0], [474, 903, 0.0], [903, 1082, 0.0], [1082, 1206, 0.0], [1206, 1534, 0.0], [1534, 1815, 0.0], [1815, 1970, 0.0], [1970, 2081, 0.0], [2081, 2214, 0.0], [2214, 2352, 0.0], [2352, 2638, 0.0], [2638, 2788, 0.0], [2788, 2856, 0.0], [2856, 2980, 0.0], [2980, 3200, 0.0], [3200, 3317, 0.0], [3317, 3557, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 349, 0.02292264], [349, 474, 0.032], [474, 903, 0.02331002], [903, 1082, 0.02793296], [1082, 1206, 0.02419355], [1206, 1534, 0.02134146], [1534, 1815, 0.02491103], [1815, 1970, 0.00645161], [1970, 2081, 0.02702703], [2081, 2214, 0.01503759], [2214, 2352, 0.00724638], [2352, 2638, 0.02447552], [2638, 2788, 0.02], [2788, 2856, 0.02941176], [2856, 2980, 0.01612903], [2980, 3200, 0.02272727], [3200, 3317, 0.02564103], [3317, 3557, 0.02083333]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3557, 0.81162727]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3557, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3557, 0.73821467]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3557, -75.37796371]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3557, 190.79572981]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3557, -158.95129343]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3557, 32.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

HP Looks to Resuscitate its Dying Mobile Business by Heading to India
The company will launch two phablet-sized devices in an emerging market where Samsung and Nokia are on fire.
By Florence Ion
Wed, January 15, 2014
It's a life lesson anyone can live by: if what you're doing isn't working, try something new. That seems to be the motivation behind HP's latest venture into India. HP Slate 6 Re/code reports that HP has announced plans to re-enter the smartphone market with two new phone-tablet hybrids in India, an emerging market where other major phone manufacturers have also taken their business. HP was once a proponent of touchscreen, PDA devices, but lost its steam after buying Palm in 2010. The company hasn't released a mobile phone since 2009 (though it did release a few tablets, including a few Android-powered ones and the WebOS-powered TouchPad). The two phablet devices coming to India are the 6- and 7-inch Slate 6 and Slate 7 VoiceTab, respectively. The phones run Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, feature quad-core processors, and come with 16GB of internal storage, as well as expansion slots. Both devices will be available for purchase next month, though HP hasn't mentioned a price just yet. If you're exhausted by the idea of more large-sized smartphones, you're justified: according to IDC, devices with larger screens, ranging from 5 to 7 inches, accounted for nearly 23 percent of all smartphone sales. It makes sense for a company like HP, which is looking to gain some footing, to go after the low-hanging fruit. It also makes sense that HP is diving into an established emerging market. Samsung and Nokia hover around 15 percent marketshare in India, and numbers like that can make any country seem like a veritable investment to a company struggling for a piece of the pie. Ron Coughlin, senior vice president for the consumer PC business at HP, expressed hope about entering the market overseas, telling Re/code that the devices resonated with India's consumers and that "India had the highest purchase intent." If the company is successful, it's likely it will try on the US for size--again. For now, Coughlin said that HP is merely focusing on a successful launch in India.

Student Life High Adventure Club takes on ice climbing
Posted by Elizabeth Benson
on January 26, 2014 at 11:59 pm
Students from the High Adventure Club at Central Michigan University traveled to Fenton this weekend to practice their ice climbing abilities at the Peabody Ice Climbing complex.
Members of the club traveled there Friday morning to climb the massive man-made ice walls before the festival’s official start Saturday.
“The climbing areas were two metal structures (where) they pour water over from the top down over the course of several days and let it freeze like a natural sort of waterfall,” said Jeffrey Davies, a Commerce senior. “You get spikes on your boots and pickaxes to climb up with, then you clip yourself into a rope for safety, and climb your way up.”
The two walls were 75 feet and 45 feet tall, respectively, and took several days to create.
“You have to really dig into the ice with your tools to make it to the top,” Davies said. “Both walls were tilted at different angles, so one had a more severe tilt that makes it easier to climb, and the other was nearly vertical, making it much more difficult.”
On Saturday night, after the climbing was done for the day, the students and other patrons enjoyed a party in the barn, which included live music, food and dancing.
Dealing with the cold
The group planned to camp out in tents in the orchard, but was instead able to sleep on the barn floor with a space heater to combat the subzero temperatures.
“We expected to be sleeping outside in tents, so we were happy when the owner of the place offered us the barn floor to sleep on,” said Arian Perez, a grad student from Sandusky. “It was still plenty cold, I think it was around negative 20 Friday night and negative 10 Saturday.”
Perez said he was excited about sleeping outdoors, highlighting the adventure and the challenge, but knew it would be awful while the group was fighting the cold throughout the night.
Many of the students who went had never been ice climbing before.
“I got into rock climbing a while ago, but I’d never been ice climbing before, so I just sort of had a ‘why not?’ mentality about it,” said Miranda Andrews, a Reed City junior. “I really enjoyed it, I mean, it’s definitely different than rock climbing. I think it requires more strength, really, but once you get used to it, it’s just as fun.”
Perez echoed her sentiments, and said she had been looking for like-minded people to be active with on campus.
“I wanted to go because I love climbing and being active, and I wanted to meet people early on in the semester that shared my interests,” Perez said. “So when something came up again, I could jump on board.”
The High Adventure Club has made an annual trip to go ice climbing for several years now, Davies said. The club used to travel to the Upper Peninsula every year to a different ice festival, but they changed their prices and stopped offering the group a special discount, so the members found a new venue.
Discovering adventure
Davies, a four-time ice climber, said it was all in the thrill of adventure for him.
“Not a lot of people know about these activities – they’re not very popular – but there are people who do them on a daily basis, and it’s not that difficult to get into if you know the right people who can show you how to do it,” he said. ”And that’s what is so great about the High Adventure Club. We’re all about getting members who know how to do these things, and then having them show the other members.”
HAC sponsors two larger trips a year. In the fall semester, they go white water rafting in West Virginia, and in the spring, they travel to the ice festival in Fenton.
Throughout the course of the year, the group plans several smaller trips, be it caving in southern Indiana, rock climbing in Kentucky or even backpacking through the Michigan countryside for a weekend, Davies said.
Andrews said the HAC gives her a chance to get out and get active with her classmates.
“I did a lot of sports in high school, but my first year of college I didn’t do anything, just school and work, and it drove me nuts,” she said. “I can’t sit still for that long, and then I discovered the High Adventure Club, and the rock wall here, and everything else, and I’ve really enjoyed it.”
Perez, a first-timer with the club, was glad she had gone with the group, giving her a chance to get out and have new experiences.
“I just think it’s really important to get outside and interact with the elements in the winter time, because it’s really easy to get depressed and hate winter,” she said. “If you go out and get active, that really helps with that.”

Will you pay $650 up-front for an iPhone 4S to pay less monthly?
Virgin Mobile is betting you will
Matt Hamblen (Computerworld (US))
How many pre-paid buyers will pony up $650 for a new 16GB iPhone 4S to be able to get no-contract service starting at $30 a month?Some analysts believe there won't be very many customers who will take advantage of such a plan, as announced this week by Virgin Mobile USA and luanching June 29. That's especially the case, the analysts said, with Android phones costing less than one-third of the iPhone on a typical pre-paid plan."I can't see too many Virgin customers calling up and saying I won't sign up for your service unless I can get an iPhone, especially since credible Android devices are one-half to one-fourth the cost," said Jack Gold, an analyst at J. Gold Associates."The costs of these [iPhones] is so high and we've seen little success in a non-subsidized model," like the one Virgin is offering, said Gartner analyst Phillip Redman. "I have many doubts this [Virgin] plan will work also, but Apple has surprised us before... Maybe there's enough pent-up demand at these small carriers, but the sales numbers won't be big."Sprint, which owns Virgin, sees things differently, of course. Sprint and Leap Wireless, which buys Sprint network CDMA 3G service, are exploring ways to expand the popularity of the iPhone beyond the traditional base of post-paid subscribers.Post-paid customers get the same iPhone subsidized by the Sprint, AT&T and Verizon Wireless for $199-- less than one-third the Virgin cost-- but must sign a two-year contract for monthly service is more than double the discounted $30 monthly price Virgin is offering for 300 minutes of voice and unlimited texting and data."The Virgin Mobile brand is extremely well-positioned to carry this iconic device and accelerate its growth as an alternative for previous post-paid subscribers," Jayne Wallace, director of communications for Sprint, said by email. "There's no question that the iPhone on both our pre-paid and post-paid platforms is a win-win for the business all around."She explained that post-paid contracts are slowing down across the industry. "The growth area in the market continues to be the no-contract space," she added, explaining that was why Sprint acquired Virgin in 2009 and created its multi-brand Sprint Prepaid Group in 2010.Pre-paid customers have traditionally been viewed as younger or on a budget and might not even have a credit account to pay for a two-year post-paid service plan. But Wallace indicated that "the face of pre-paid has changed from the traditional pay-as-you-goers, now that we can offer the better devices, services and value."Even so, pre-paid customers are still not considered as profitable to carriers as post-paid, and Sprint has struggled more than AT&T and Verizon at keeping its post-paid customers in recent years. Sprint added 489,000 pre-paid customers in the first quarter, but lost 192,000 post-paid contract customers.Still, there's an upsurge of interest in pre-paid industry-wide. AT&T and Verizon Wireless are considering offering the iPhone and more high-end smartphones to pre-paid customers, in the endless pursuit of more customers and more revenues, analysts said.Boost Mobile, another pre-paid brand from Sprint, is also expected to offer the iPhone on a pre-paid basis, said Ramon Llamas, an analyst at IDC.Paying $650 up-front for an iPhone with Virgin will be the biggest obstacle for pre-paid buyers, Llamas said. "That $650 is still a lot of money, no matter what the per-month cost," he said. "Forget about college students and just look at younger users who are now on pre-paid deals."Llamas said there's obviously a market for the Virgin plan. "There are some buyers for it, but the question is just how big is that market? We know that pre-paid users want smartphones" based on current pre-paid purchases of BlackBerry and Android smartphones."Those BlackBerry and Androids on pre-paid plans aren't slouches as far as phones go, but the iPhone pre-paid will bring a new level of cachet and a new level of demand," Llamas said.By comparison, Sprint's 24-month post-paid plan for smartphones offers 450 minutes of voice, plus unlimited text and talk for $79.99. With the $450 added cost of the iPhone on Virgin, the Virgin overall cost including $30 a month service and phone for two years would still be $750 less, or $31.25 a month less, than the post-paid plan.(The $30 service fee is discounted by $5 from $35 if a customer arranges for automatic payment with a credit or other account.)Llamas said that customers will need to evaluate whether that $31.25 monthly difference is worth it, since any data usage above 2.5GB per month on Virgin could be throttled to a slower speed and since the Virgin coverage map seems to have some gaps that could effect a user's experience depending on where he works or lives. "Virgin would be fine in metro areas," he added.Leap's iPhone offer on its Cricket service is $150 less for the up-front hardware cost than Virgin's, but Leap will charge $55 a month for unlimited voice, data and text. Leap's service is regional, not national, available to about 20% of the country. Leap is a separate Sprint company that operates as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator and buys network capacity from Sprint.Whatever happens to Sprint's experiment with the Virgin Mobile pre-paid iPhone plan, Llamas noted that the ultimate winner is going to be Apple. Sprint has a four-year commitment to Apple to pay $15.5 billion for iPhones, and must satisfy the debt in whatever way it can."The one who's sitting pretty with all this pre-pay is Apple," Llamas noted. "Pre-pay to Apple is another distribution chain, another set of customers who may or may not upgrade to another phone regularly.""This approach is another opportunity to sell more people on the iPhone and upgrade them," he said. "Sprint's the one on the hook."Matt Hamblen covers mobile and wireless, smartphones and other handhelds, and wireless networking for Computerworld.

Edinburgh International Film Festival 2013 – Not Another Happy Ending (2013) June 29, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment Not Another Happy Ending, 2013.
Directed by John McKay.Starring Karen Gillan, Stanley Weber, Gary Lewis, Amy Manson, Henry Ian Cusick, Kate Dickie, Freya Mavor, and Iain de Caestecker.
Karen Gillan stars as Jane, a budding Scottish writer who gets writers block during her second novel. Having been advised that the trailer for this film gives away the ENTIRE plot, I went into the cinema unprepared, armed with only a brief synopsis and the belief that the wonderful Amy Pond of Doctor Who couldn’t possibly disappoint. To be fair to Karen Gillan, she didn’t disappoint in the slightest. She was frank, quirky and witty, with excellent Pippi Longstocking braids of thick red hair. Unfortunately, the rest of the film proved too heavy for her to carry alone, and it fell disastrously flat.
The male lead is Tom Duval (Stanley Weber), a passionate Frenchman who gives Jane her big break. The set up between the two was so obvious it was a little painful to watch; a pain that was not relieved by either clever script or sparkling chemistry. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an on-screen pair fancy each other less. Yet more disappointment lay in that the plot gave us absolutely nothing of substance to distract from the clumsy progress towards guy-gets-girl.
Attempted sub-plot number one: Jane is haunted by her protagonist while suffering from writers block. What could have been a really excellent look at the relationship between a writer and her characters (see Stranger Than Fiction) was instead very ill used – ‘Darsie’ popped up once in a while to be provoking, and occasionally served as a foil to Jane’s thoughts, but accomplished no other purpose.
Attempted sub-plot two: Jane’s relationship with her father. Her first novel, a pseudo-fictional account of her disastrous childhood, is a roaring success, and brings her absentee father back on the scene. The atrocities she endured as a child are consistently alluded to, but the script is gravely lacking in any exploration of how they affected her, other than to mention she ‘worships her pain’. This statement is supported by one haphazardly included wall of rejection letters at the very beginning, and nothing else – Jane is otherwise quite a merry and well-functioning person. All in all, a poor script and poor casting choices leave Karen Gillan floundering to give a performance with any kind of meaning or depth, and it’s a great shame for what is her feature film debut. I hope her next film, Oculus, does not leave as much to be desired.

Heikki Kovalainen not convinced by Magnussen appointment
Many have drawn comparisons between Magnussen & Lewis Hamilton. (©GettyImages).
Former McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen believes the team is taking a major risk that could backfire by giving young Dane Kevin Magnussen a seat for 2014.
In a move many are comparing to that of Lewis Hamilton for the 2007 season, the 21-year-old will move up from Formula Renault 3.5, where he was champion this year replacing Sergio Perez.
“I’m still surprised by the team’s decision,” the Mexican told Brazil’s Totalrace this week.
“I didn’t know the news was coming and, in fact, my contract was already signed. So I was surprised.
Asked for his thoughts on how he expects Magnussen to perform, Perez added: “Time will tell if it was the right decision.”
Meanwhile the more experienced Kovalainen also expressed his uncertainty as to whether McLaren, who celebrated their 50th anniversary this year, made the right call.
“There are two possibilities: Kevin will do well, or he will do badly,” said the 32-year-old, who struggled late in 2013 when he replaced Kimi Raikkonen in the competitive Lotus cockpit.
“It is difficult to say which one of the possibilities is the most likely,” added Kovalainen, referring again to Magnussen’s chances.
“McLaren seems to really believe in him, but I don’t really know him, other than knowing that he is fast and a good driver,” he continued.
Referring back to the comparisons being made between Magnussen’s move and that of Lewis Hamilton, Kovalainen also included Perez’s experience with the team this year which was no where near as successful.
“Hamilton was able to fight for the podium from the first race, but in the past season Sergio Perez has not met expectations,” he explained.
“They were expecting they could polish the diamond, but it didn’t turn out like that.
“In any case, McLaren is a very strong team with excellent facilities and vast resources, so at least in theory they can create the conditions to solve all of a driver’s problems.
“There is no guarantee that Magnussen will succeed, but at least he will have a great chance,” added Kovalainen.
As for the future of Perez that is looking increasingly likely to be at Force India replacing Paul di Resta and completing an all-new line up alongside Nico Hulkenberg.
As the Scot continues a court battle with former manager Anthony Hamilton in London, he was asked by the court about his future in F1.
“They (Force India) may be interested, they may not,” Di Resta told the court.
“I believe they are in talks with Sergio Perez. It’s looking likely that I will not be driving.
“The only team that really has any possibility is Sauber, (but) there has been nothing other than a chat with my manager.
“I am speaking to Mercedes-Benz for DTM,” he added. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/1266 | {"url":

Radio Makes People 'Happier' Than TV or Internet, New Study Finds
, Arbitron
, Daily Mail
, Media Happiness
, Michael Keith
Perhaps the future of media lies in a retreat to the past. A new study commissioned in the U.K. by the Radio Advertising Bureau concluded that listening to the radio makes people happier than watching TV or surfing the Internet.
1,000 Britons participated in the study, using their smartphones to respond to questions about their media consumption and emotional responses at various times of the day.
"On average, when consuming radio, happiness & energy scores increase by 100% and 300% compared to when no media is being consumed," the study found. But happiness increased most when that media was the radio.
Radio is a kind of "lifestyle support system," the authors wrote, which helps people feel better as they go about their days. Many respondents didn't realize how important radio was in their lives until they had participated in the exercise.
To Michael C. Keith, a professor at Boston College and a leading scholar in history and electronic media, these conclusions come as no surprise. "Why else do people listen to music radio, other than to get enjoyment out of it?" he asked HuffPost in an interview last week. "People don't listen to radio to be depressed, certainly not when it comes to entertainment radio or music radio. The whole idea of listening to radio is to gain companionship and, at the same time, enjoyment."
Indeed, the study's participants claimed to experience "peaks and troughs" while consuming TV and online media, but radio provided a "consistent environment themed and shaped" to suit their needs at any given moment. Generally, we can all agree, people like listening to music. We all have a station we prefer with music we know we'll like, and unless we just broke up with our significant others, for the most part we're choosing music that will make us feel good.
"Radio is like ice cream," Keith said. "You choose the station that tastes best to you -- the flavor you like the best is going to give you enjoyment."
Whereas trolling online might occasionally present you with an uncomfortable activity -- checking your bank statement perhaps, looking for jobs or watching a really non-cute cat do something awful -- television has always been considered the ultimate in escapism. However, many respondents claimed they experienced a low after watching their favorite programs, as they were suddenly plunged back into "real life."
Radio, on the other hand only improved and supported peoples' daily activities, like cleaning up around the house, or getting ready in the morning. Many respondents also listened to the radio while they did other work online.
"More than anything else," Keith said. "[Radio] is used to provide companionship, to soothe, to reassure, to make happy."
According to the Daily Mail, U.K. radio listenership is at a record high, with "91.6 per cent of the population" tuning in each week. And listenership in the U.S is also increasing at a rapid pace, according to Arbitron, a leading media and marketing research firm in D.C. Arbitron found in a recent "Infinite Dial" study that 242 million Americans currently listen to the radio each week, and online radio consumption has doubled every year since 2001.
The Arbitron study also concluded, like the U.K. study, that radio is more "resilient" than ever. The medium continues to embrace social media and smart phone technology to interact with their listener base, and "few (if any) digital platforms have Radio’s scale or ability to drive its over-the-air users to their online digital platforms and those of their advertisers."
Bill Rose, the Senior Vice President of Marketing for Arbitron, said that listeners grow more attached to the stations they frequent, and remain loyal for the rest of their lives, in many cases.
"People don't read the New York Times for years and then go out and buy a New York Times sweatshirt," he said. "But people really care about the stations they listen to, and they'll buy and wear the material from [those stations]."
Radio is such an integral part of our daily lives that perhaps we've forgotten how it truly affects us. "A lot of the new media gets more press, more buzz, more attention," Rose explained. "But people use radio more year over year."

The Web is not a printed sheet of paper and those publishing content online should experiment with what that means. It won't only make the news online more interesting, it may actually make it worth paying for. Mitch Joel: The Me Media
The discourse of 'me media' lives within the sharing of the content to other platforms and within the comments. While some traditional media outlets have integrated many of this functionality, have they done so out of an understanding of new media, or as a reaction and financial need to seem relevant?

Cedar Fair Forging Its Future By Greg Sushinsky
Filed Under: Equity Tickers in this Article: FUN, SIX, WOLF, MTN, LVS, WINN Amusement park owner Cedar Fair LP (NYSE:FUN) reported revenue and attendance increases for the third quarter. Net income fell due to debt refinancing and costs related to the earlier failed takeover attempt by Apollo Management, as well as other charges. Cedar Fair also announced it planned to resume quarterly dividend payments next year.IN PICTURES: 4 Biggest Investor ErrorsEarnings OverviewFor the third quarter, Cedar Fair earned $75.7 million or $1.36 per partnership unit, compared to $107.6 million or $1.92 per partnership unit in last year's quarter. A $35 million loss was taken for the early extinguishment of debt. The company believes adjusted EBITDA is a more meaningful measurement of its performance, and its adjusted EBITDA was $299.7 million compared to $276.9 million in Q3 last year.Consumers Return to the ParksCedar Fair increased attendance at its parks by 5% or 547,000 during the third quarter. The company cited new rides and innovative marketing plans, as well as gains in season pass visits, group sales and greater occupancy at its resorts. For the first nine months of the year, attendance was 19.8 million, an increase of 6%. October attendance, after the end of the third quarter on September 30, showed a 29% increase from last year's October figures, and puts Cedar Fair's attendance at 22.2 million compared to 20.6 million for the first ten months of 2009.
Cedar Fair's TurnaroundCedar Fair's performance shows its business turnaround compared to the depths of the recession. Saddled with debt from its purchase of Paramount's Parks, along with falling attendance and revenue, the company suspended its dividend payment and had to fend off a takeover attempt. That Cedar Fair has fought its way back in a difficult industry is impressive. Six Flags Entertainment (NYSE:SIX), which traveled through bankruptcy, is trying to rebuild its business and stabilize its earnings. Great Wolf Resorts (Nasdaq: WOLF) is facing possible loan defaults and shrinking business.The difficulties in the travel and leisure industry aren't confined to the amusement park operators, as Vail Resorts (NYSE:MTN) has seen earnings and revenue fall off throughout the recession. On the other hand, some gaming resorts, Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) and Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq:WINN), are flush with business and their skyrocketing stock prices have been the market's reward.Cedar Fair's PositionCedar Fair has been restructuring its balance sheet, refinancing its loans, and so pushing out its debt maturities. The company currently holds cash and equivalents of $61.7 million, with long-term debt still at $1.574 billion but without the press of so much near-term repayment. Due to its refinancing activities, cost-cutting, and improved cash flow, Cedar Fair is in a better liquidity position than it was prior to Apollo's takeover bid.Add to this the steady improvement in its business the company now projects $965 to $980 million in 2010 for its full year revenue, the scheduled resumption of $20 million in distribution payments to shareholders scheduled to begin next March, and it's clear that the breathing room Cedar Fair fashioned for itself after the takeover attempt is clearly paying off. Cedar Fair is still a true pure play amusement park owner and by far the best of a limited group, if you include Six Flags and Great Wolf. The stock has steadily climbed in the last year, as Cedar Fair moves from the survival mode onto better things.

Professor receives MacDowell Colony Fellowship
March 30th, 2010 Jean Harper, associate professor of English, was recently awarded a fellowship to the MacDowell Colony located in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Harper will reside at the artists’ colony for six weeks, beginning in August into September. While at the MacDowell Colony, Harper plans to work on her second book, Horses and Divorces, which explores the relationship between horses and women. The book is part memoir, and part literary journalism.
“I am thrilled to receive this fellowship to go to MacDowell; not only is this a gift of time, which every writer deeply appreciates, but it is also an opportunity to work in the inspiring company of some of the best writers and artists in the country, if not the world.”
Mary Fell, English department chair and herself a writer, stated, “Jean’s fellowship from MacDowell not only honors her excellent writing, but it puts her in a league with some of this country’s finest writers, past and present. We are proud of Jean’s accomplishment!”
By receiving the fellowship, Harper will join over 6,000 artists who have resided at the peaceful farmland retreat for the purpose of further developing their creativity. The Colony was founded in 1907 by the original owners of the property, Edward MacDowell, a composer, and pianist Marian MacDowell. According to the MacDowell Colony, the artists retreat is now the nation’s leading artist colony providing “a nurturing environment to creative individuals of the highest talent an inspiring environment in which they can produce enduring works of the imagination.”
The Colony provides artists individual studios to continue to develop their talents and works. The Colony annually hosts about 250 national and international artists including writers, playwrights, visual artists, filmmakers, composers, interdisciplinary artists, and architects.

Houston prepares for Freedom over Texas
Thursday, Jul 4 at 12:00 AM
HOUSTON – Crews were hard at work putting together Houston’s Fourth of July show at Eleanor Tinsley Park near downtown Houston.
Lead rigger Travis Spears has been making last minute adjustments to the Freedom Stage. Artists Sheryl Crow and Martina McBride will perform on the stage.
“I am hooking up the guy wires to keep the roof stable so it doesn't blow around in the wind,” Spears said.
A group of architects were asked by the mayor to make a sculpture out of 130 tons of sand.
“Iconic images of US buildings and this side is Houston and the star in the middle is for the lone star state,” said Ann Kifer.
Tens of thousands will gather in the park for the festival.

: 2011 Lyeth Sonoma County Meritage
2011 Lyeth Sonoma County Meritage
A Bordeaux-style blend of 35% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot, grapes are sourced from select vineyards around Sonoma County. From the winery: "A brilliant dark ruby in color, this Meritage is robust with aromas of black cherry, currants, and blueberry with subtle notes of succulent dark chocolate and cinnamon completing the nose. Flavors of casis and boysenberries are lush and pronounced on the palate, followed by hints of roasted coffee and maple."

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blends - Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the M�doc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.
Specific Appellation:
Sonoma County - Second in fame only to Napa, this "other" valley offers just about every climate and topography imaginable. From its cool and fog-enshrouded coastal regions on the far west, to the sprawling Alexander Valley on the boarder of Napa and the many little dips and peaks in between, Sonoma has been a vital wine-grape-growing region since the mid 1800s. Important sub-AVAs include Chalk Hill (known for chardonnay and sauvignon blanc), Dry Creek Valley (where zin is king) Knights Valley (largely cabernet land), Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast (both celebrated pinot and chardonnay zones).

Bonham WWII vet, Purple Heart recipient recognized
By: KXII-TV Staff Email Posted: Mon 12:47 PM, Nov 12, 2012
/ Article BONHAM, TX - A local World War II veteran got some special recognition in Bonham on Friday afternoon. Purple Heart recipient Lewen 'Jack' Burk" was presented with an American flag at a veteran's ceremony at the Clyde W. Cosper Texas State Veterans Home. Burk survived D-Day and lost part of his foot trying to blow up a bridge during the Battle of the Bulge. He wasn't presented with the Purple Heart until former U.S House Speaker Sam Rayburn, also from Bonham, spoke up for him. Burk says it was an honor to be recognized, and that all servicemen and women should be recognized for their sacrifices.
"In the service, regardless of what job they had. I still think a lot of my veterans," Burk said. This was the fourth annual veterans ceremony held at the veterans' home. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/1487 | {"url": "http://www.kxii.com/station/headlines/Bonham-WWII-vet-Purple-Heart-recipient-recognized-178942241.html?site=mobile", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.kxii.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:20:43Z", "digest": "sha1:QVB4RKT6ZQ6UGRNBNQWBTMVRSIJLV3KF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 892, 892.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 892, 2370.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 892, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 892, 83.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 892, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 892, 331.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 892, 0.32474227]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 892, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 892, 0.04700855]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 892, 0.05698006]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 892, 0.06701031]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 892, 0.19072165]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 892, 0.70967742]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 892, 4.52903226]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 892, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 892, 4.53456364]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 892, 155.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 110, 0.0], [110, 722, 1.0], [722, 892, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 110, 0.0], [110, 722, 0.0], [722, 892, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 51, 7.0], [51, 110, 11.0], [110, 722, 106.0], [722, 892, 31.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 110, 0.19230769], [110, 722, 0.0], [722, 892, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 110, 0.0], [110, 722, 0.0], [722, 892, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.1372549], [51, 110, 0.23728814], [110, 722, 0.07352941], [722, 892, 0.02352941]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 892, 0.00267106]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 892, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 892, 0.15269297]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 892, -29.81157724]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 892, 5.28922978]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 892, -12.58866474]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 892, 10.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Ohio State Recruiting
Ohio State recruiting: State Secrets, 5/27 - Weekend recap
By Ian Cuevas
@IanLGHL
'13 Buckeye signee Ezekiel Elliott became a state champion in the 100m dash, 200m dash, 110m hurdles and 300m hurdles.
It was a mostly uneventful weekend for the Ohio State recruiting staff, but they did get a chance to see some of their future class stars shine a bit in the form of Ezekiel Elliott.
Share with Buckeyes friends +
'13 RB/ATH Ezekiel Elliott signed his national letter of intent on National Signing Day 2013 this past February. While some fans were a tad worried about whether or not he would flip to Missouri was quickly replaced with excitement and anticipation as to what the 4-star could bring to the table. Now only a few short months away from football season, Elliott is proving his top-notch talent on another platform: track and field.
The Missouri State Track and Field Championship took place on Saturday, and the future Buckeye showed off his world class speed by winning four events: The 100m dash (11.03 seconds), the 200m dash (22.25), the 110m hurdles (13.87) and the 300m hurdles (39.01). There couldn't be any other way to end Elliott's high school career then to go out on top in those four events. Four golds awaited Elliott at the end of the day, something that he will surely cherish. The next time we see Elliott will be this fall, when he lines up in the Buckeye uniform. Check out his 110m hurdles here:
One of the biggest names in the class of 2014 is '14 LB Raekwon McMillan. We've continued to follow McMillan's recruitment throughout his entire time spent talking with Ohio State as Coach Meyer and his staff try to entice McMillan to pull the trigger on making a verbal to the Buckeyes. Even with the recent commitment of '14 LB Dante Booker, there will always be room waiting for someone like McMillan in any class, let alone Ohio State. Now, the 5-star and number one ranked linebacker in the country has recently been named Defensive Player of the Year in Region 3-AAAA. From the article announcing the selection:
McMillan has offers from all of the top Division I schools, including Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and South Carolina. This season, he recorded 151 tackles with seven sacks, one INT, five forced fumbles and a fumble returned for a TD. He also ran for 316 yards (6.45 yards per carry) and scored nine rushing TDs. He played in the third annual AT&T Georgia Junior Bowl in Atlanta on Dec. 31 and was named by USA Today as a second-team All-USA selection.
"Raekwon keeps improving physically, and he is getting better in the mental game by leaps and bounds. He became the quarterback of our defense this year - he knows where everyone should be. He works hard in the weight room. You just can't keep him out of there. We were blessed to have Shadrach (Thornton, now at N.C. State) the last few years, and Raekwon has taken the torch from him. He's become our leader." - Raekwon McMillan's head coach.
You also undoubtedly heard about the commitment of Jabrill Peppers, the 5-star defensive back who most likely projects to cornerback at the next level. Though May recruiting national titles aren't entirely dissimilar to September Heismans or November national championships, his commitment moves Michigan to the top of the 247Composite team rankings. And the thing about Michigan's class, is that even if they go on autopilot from here until February, if they just hold the core of what they're already got in place, they're going to wind up in the Top 5-to-Top 10 just about no matter what. Good for the rivalry, if nothing else. Also, check out how Peppers announced (though it was spoiled on Twitter first, as is customary these days). Credit where credit's due, it's certainly unique:
Finally, '14 RB Jonathan Haden, who attends school in Washington, D.C., and whose three older brothers all played college football (including Joe Haden, the current cornerback for the Cleveland Browns), committed to the Arizona Wildcats on Friday night, according to reports. Haden, a 3-star recruit from Friendship Collegiate Academy, held numerous BCS scholarship offers, including Ohio State, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina State. In 2012, Haden rushed for 977 yards on 115 carries as a sophomore in his only year played at Friendship Collegiate Academy. While the Buckeyes had shown some mild interest in Haden, it appears he could be out of the sights for the Ohio State coaching staff. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/1495 | {"url": "http://www.landgrantholyland.com/2013/5/27/4369204/ohio-state-recruiting-state-secrets", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.landgrantholyland.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:17:36Z", "digest": "sha1:DEGFXCTCM5UL5JUFLWL7LNJG3OC3DHMX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4520, 4520.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4520, 12182.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4520, 15.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4520, 363.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4520, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4520, 276.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4520, 0.37354497]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4520, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4520, 0.01250347]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4520, 0.01583773]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4520, 0.00833565]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4520, 0.01904762]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4520, 0.18730159]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4520, 0.53324641]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4520, 4.69230769]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4520, 5.53422806]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4520, 767.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 56, 0.0], [56, 115, 0.0], [115, 129, 0.0], [129, 138, 0.0], [138, 257, 1.0], [257, 441, 0.0], [441, 471, 0.0], [471, 901, 1.0], [901, 1485, 0.0], [1485, 2103, 0.0], [2103, 2556, 1.0], [2556, 3001, 1.0], [3001, 3790, 0.0], [3790, 4520, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 56, 0.0], [56, 115, 0.0], [115, 129, 0.0], [129, 138, 0.0], [138, 257, 0.0], [257, 441, 0.0], [441, 471, 0.0], [471, 901, 0.0], [901, 1485, 0.0], [1485, 2103, 0.0], [2103, 2556, 0.0], [2556, 3001, 0.0], [3001, 3790, 0.0], [3790, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 34, 5.0], [34, 56, 3.0], [56, 115, 8.0], [115, 129, 3.0], [129, 138, 1.0], [138, 257, 20.0], [257, 441, 36.0], [441, 471, 4.0], [471, 901, 73.0], [901, 1485, 105.0], [1485, 2103, 107.0], [2103, 2556, 81.0], [2556, 3001, 78.0], [3001, 3790, 129.0], [3790, 4520, 114.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 56, 0.0], [56, 115, 0.05660377], [115, 129, 0.0], [129, 138, 0.0], [138, 257, 0.12280702], [257, 441, 0.0], [441, 471, 0.0], [471, 901, 0.01666667], [901, 1485, 0.05555556], [1485, 2103, 0.01658375], [2103, 2556, 0.02528736], [2556, 3001, 0.0], [3001, 3790, 0.00918635], [3790, 4520, 0.01846591]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 56, 0.0], [56, 115, 0.0], [115, 129, 0.0], [129, 138, 0.0], [138, 257, 0.0], [257, 441, 0.0], [441, 471, 0.0], [471, 901, 0.0], [901, 1485, 0.0], [1485, 2103, 0.0], [2103, 2556, 0.0], [2556, 3001, 0.0], [3001, 3790, 0.0], [3790, 4520, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.14705882], [34, 56, 0.13636364], [56, 115, 0.08474576], [115, 129, 0.21428571], [129, 138, 0.55555556], [138, 257, 0.02521008], [257, 441, 0.02717391], [441, 471, 0.06666667], [471, 901, 0.03488372], [901, 1485, 0.02910959], [1485, 2103, 0.0566343], [2103, 2556, 0.0794702], [2556, 3001, 0.03370787], [3001, 3790, 0.02534854], [3790, 4520, 0.05890411]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4520, 0.61360759]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4520, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4520, 0.65862781]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4520, -126.29828568]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4520, 48.23569967]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4520, -34.06200212]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4520, 43.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Wed04162014 Business & Real Estate State holds $14 million in undelivered refunds Details
Published on Wednesday, 26 December 2012 00:00 Written by Los Altos Town Crier Town Crier Report The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is holding more than $14 million in state income tax refunds returned by the U.S. Postal Service. “I want to make sure all taxpayers receive their refunds and as quickly as possible,” said State Controller John Chiang, FTB chairman. “This is an easy way to update your contact information and get the refund before the holiday season.” This year, the U.S. Postal Service returned nearly 48,000 refunds as undeliverable. Taxpayers who moved and failed to update their addresses are the main reason refunds are returned. Taxpayers expecting a state refund or who are unsure if they received theirs can access their status on the FTB’s website.Click “Online Services: Where’s my refund?” to bring up the “Check Your Refund Status” screen. Updating an address is an easy process using the “Access MyFTB Account” feature on the same screen. The FTB reissues the refund automatically as soon as the correct address is received. The FTB encourages taxpayers to request direct deposit for their refunds when filing. Direct deposit is a fast and secure method to receive a tax refund within days rather than waiting weeks for a paper refund. This year, more than 6 million California taxpayers received more than $6.2 billion deposited directly into their bank accounts through direct deposits. As of Nov. 29, the FTB had issued more than 10 million refunds worth nearly $10 billion.

Known worldwide, Louis Vuitton is one of the most notable names in fashion. It was founded in 1854 and has been growing ever since. High quality materials and attention to detail are part of what keeps people buying this brand. Louis Vuitton began manufacturing trunks in Paris in 1854, and the company he started went on to become one of the world's most famous makers of luxury goods, known especially for its designer luggage pattern: a beige-on-chestnut monogram, "LV." Vuitton's high-quality travelling trunks were such a hit that he had to expand his factory within a few years, relocating to Asniéres in 1860. As the years went by the Vuitton line gained international recognition, thanks in part to a bronze medal at the 1867 World's Fair and a gold medal at the 1889 World's Fair, both held in Paris. After Louis died in 1892, his son, Georges, took the company to new heights, developing what is recognized as the first "designer label" on a product. (Widespread copying of Vuitton patterns pushed Georges to design the distinctive "LV" monogram.) Vuitton's luggage company has since become a world leader in luxury consumer goods, with products that include travel books, perfume, distilled spirits and designer clothing.
Louis Vuitton has become a sort of status symbol over the years, with the popularity continuously growing. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/1588 | {"url": "http://www.modnique.com/product/Women/Handbags-Accessories/Louis-Vuitton/Louis-Vuitton-Handbags/8882/Louis-Vuitton-Multicolore-Monogram-Trouville-Tote-8-10-Condition/01431471/color/white-multi/size/seeac/gseeac", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.modnique.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:59:53Z", "digest": "sha1:RZQAENQMCCYB5RQIBZGB3O5PSOT42KLO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1696, 1696.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1696, 10953.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1696, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1696, 399.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1696, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1696, 252.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1696, 0.33035714]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1696, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1696, 0.03501094]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1696, 0.01167031]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1696, 0.00595238]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1696, 0.21130952]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1696, 0.63670412]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1696, 5.13483146]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1696, 4.87161441]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1696, 267.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 357, 0.0], [357, 1590, 1.0], [1590, 1696, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 357, 0.0], [357, 1590, 0.0], [1590, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 66, 8.0], [66, 357, 39.0], [357, 1590, 203.0], [1590, 1696, 17.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 66, 0.04761905], [66, 357, 0.03284672], [357, 1590, 0.02011735], [1590, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 66, 0.0], [66, 357, 0.0], [357, 1590, 0.0], [1590, 1696, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 66, 0.10606061], [66, 357, 0.08247423], [357, 1590, 0.02270884], [1590, 1696, 0.01886792]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1696, 0.34455818]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1696, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1696, 0.23555851]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1696, -22.86492338]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1696, -3.47161469]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1696, 19.77733324]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1696, 11.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Page ContentCareer Spanned More Than Three Decades, Brought “Innovative Solutions”
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Sept. 24, 2012) – After 34 years of protecting the safety and soundness of the credit union industry, Executive Director David Marquis will retire at the end of this year, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) today announced.
“It is difficult to imagine this agency without Dave,” NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said. “Over the course of his career, Dave initiated many of the changes that enabled NCUA to protect the safety and soundness of the increasingly sophisticated credit union industry. Dave’s foresight and diligence transformed NCUA’s exam process to ensure that examiners have the requisite expertise, tools and training, and that exams are thorough and effective.”
Since starting his career at NCUA in 1978, the credit union industry’s total assets grew 1,860 percent from $51.4 billion to more than $1 trillion. Marquis also worked to ensure the stability of credit unions and the industry through five recessions over more than three decades.
“During my tenure as Chairman,” Matz added, “in the wake of the extraordinary economic downturn that shook the very foundation of the financial system, Dave’s calm and steady leadership resulted in innovative solutions that literally brought the industry back from the brink of disaster. In the process, Dave earned the admiration, trust and respect of the entire agency.”
Marquis has overseen NCUA’s day-to-day operations since his appointment as Executive Director in January 2009. For the previous 14 years, Marquis served as Director of the Office of Examination and Insurance, where he was responsible for the safe and sound operation of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) and monitoring the examination and supervision procedures at federally insured credit unions.
He has also served as a supervisory examiner, regional manager, associate regional director, regional director, and Deputy Director of the Office of Examination and Insurance. Marquis began his career with NCUA as an examiner in Baltimore.
“Dave Marquis cares profoundly about the health, safety and soundness of the institutions he has supervised,” NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland said. “As a young examiner he got to see firsthand the amazing things credit unions can do to serve their members and the difference credit unions can make in communities. As the longest-serving Director of the Office of Examination and Insurance, he then mentored many of the current executives and managers in the agency—a proud and worthy accomplishment. Finally, the productive debates he and I had on policy issues because of his experiences resulted, in my opinion, in policy and regulations that appropriately protected credit unions and the NCUSIF during the Great Recession.” “Dave Marquis has had an exemplary career at NCUA. He has done an outstanding job in every position held, as he moved up the ranks to his current position as Executive Director,” NCUA Board Member Michael Fryzel said. “I wish him all the best in everything he goes on to do.”
The NCUA Board will select the agency’s next Executive Director later this year.

Minneapolis, MN (Northland's NewsCenter) --- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been named the NFC offensive player of the week, it was announced on Wednesday morning.
Peterson had 23 rushes for 153 yards this past Sunday in Minnesota's 21-14 win over Arizona, also scoring a touchdown in that winning effort.
The game was Peterson's 29th career 100-plus yard performance, tying him with Robert Smith for the franchise's all-time lead.
Coming off ACL and MCL surgery near the end of last season, Peterson so far this year leads the NFL with 787 yards from scrimmage and is tied for third with 652 rushing yards. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/1662 | {"url": "http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/sports/Vikings-AP-is-NFC-Offensive-Player-of-the-Week-175690671.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.northlandsnewscenter.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:18:46Z", "digest": "sha1:WM4PS4OVPCMPBSVLKZ7FVK6N4T6D7GTP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 711, 711.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 711, 3464.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 711, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 711, 124.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 711, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 711, 184.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 711, 0.32666667]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 711, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 711, 0.0952381]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 711, 0.0952381]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 711, 0.04232804]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 711, 0.06349206]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 711, 0.07054674]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 711, 0.06]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 711, 0.22]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 711, 0.78333333]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 711, 4.725]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 711, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 711, 4.42112925]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 711, 120.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 84, 0.0], [84, 268, 1.0], [268, 410, 1.0], [410, 536, 1.0], [536, 711, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 84, 0.0], [84, 268, 0.0], [268, 410, 0.0], [410, 536, 0.0], [536, 711, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 48, 9.0], [48, 84, 8.0], [84, 268, 26.0], [268, 410, 24.0], [410, 536, 19.0], [536, 711, 34.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 84, 0.27272727], [84, 268, 0.0], [268, 410, 0.06569343], [410, 536, 0.04201681], [536, 711, 0.03468208]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 84, 0.0], [84, 268, 0.0], [268, 410, 0.0], [410, 536, 0.0], [536, 711, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.1875], [48, 84, 0.19444444], [84, 268, 0.07608696], [268, 410, 0.02816901], [410, 536, 0.03174603], [536, 711, 0.06285714]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 711, 0.04379898]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 711, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 711, 0.45723933]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 711, -28.26681867]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 711, 9.1878783]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 711, 16.88658753]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 711, 4.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Japan’s TEPCO gears up for US shale gas imports
TOKYO — Tokyo Electric Power Co., operator of the devastated Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant, plans to buy liquefied natural gas from the LNG terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, raising expectations Japan will tap into the U.S. shale gas boom.
TEPCO plans to buy 400,000 tons of LNG a year, for 20 years beginning in 2017, from the Cameron project through trading house Mitsui & Co. It expects a similar deal with Mitsubishi Corp. and other deals that would boost its imports by 1.2 million tons a year.
Both deals link the LNG price to the Henry Hub benchmark, at about $3.30 per million metric British thermal units, way lower than what Japan pays for its current gas imports. TEPCO said it was the first time it had set a long-term contract to the lower benchmark.
Japan is keen to cut costs for fuel imports that have surged after most of its nuclear plants were taken offline following the March 2011 accident at Fukushima Dai-Ichi. The cost of most of its LNG imports is linked to crude oil prices, nearly five times the Henry Hub level as of late last year.
A boom in U.S. gas production thanks to hydraulic fracturing — blasting mixtures of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to stimulate the release of gas — has taken U.S. prices to 10-year lows. Reduced U.S. demand for LNG from the Middle East, thanks to the increased domestic supply, is freeing up more LNG for Asia, including Japan, which accounts for 30 percent of global consumption.
But resource-scarce Japan’s access to U.S. shale gas is limited by restrictions on exports of LNG to countries that have free trade agreements with Washington, which does not include its longtime Asian ally. Tokyo is lobbying for changes in that policy which limit it to buying gas from the Cameron Parish terminal. In the meantime, Japanese trading houses and energy companies are seeking access to LNG from Canada and elsewhere.
The Japanese government which took power in late December, led by the Liberal Democratic Party, appears to be backing away from a commitment by the previous administration to phase out nuclear power. But tighter regulations following the Fukushima accident and public opposition are slowing any moves to bring nuclear plants shut down for safety checks back online.
Soaring imports of oil and gas helped push Japan’s trade deficit in 2012 to 6.9 trillion yen ($75 billion). As the largest Japanese electricity company, TEPCO is especially keen to reduce costs for its fuel imports.
It said its facilities, designed to handle so-called “hot” or “rich” LNG, need to be adapted to the type of “lean LNG” — LNG with a low heating value — to be shipped from the Cameron project.
A 10-year plan the company announced earlier calls for importing 10 million metric tons per year of lean LNG, expanding its LNG storage capacity, setting up a specialized LNG receiving terminal and upgrading equipment.
Mitsui and Mitsubishi are targeting 4 million metric tons a year in U.S. LNG exports from the Cameron project, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper reported. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/1682 | {"url": "http://www.observer-reporter.com/article/20130207/NEWS0801/130209508/0/news05", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.observer-reporter.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T09:13:18Z", "digest": "sha1:D5IGWZOJUPGJSDHYBNG3YTEMIAS6CMHK"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3096, 3096.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3096, 6864.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3096, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3096, 279.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3096, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3096, 262.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3096, 0.31621188]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3096, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3096, 0.01680672]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3096, 0.02240896]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3096, 0.02521008]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3096, 0.05617978]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3096, 0.16372392]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3096, 0.52671756]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3096, 4.76908397]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3096, 5.1665118]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3096, 524.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 302, 1.0], [302, 562, 1.0], [562, 826, 1.0], [826, 1123, 1.0], [1123, 1517, 1.0], [1517, 1948, 1.0], [1948, 2314, 1.0], [2314, 2530, 1.0], [2530, 2722, 1.0], [2722, 2941, 1.0], [2941, 3096, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 302, 0.0], [302, 562, 0.0], [562, 826, 0.0], [826, 1123, 0.0], [1123, 1517, 0.0], [1517, 1948, 0.0], [1948, 2314, 0.0], [2314, 2530, 0.0], [2530, 2722, 0.0], [2722, 2941, 0.0], [2941, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 48, 9.0], [48, 302, 40.0], [302, 562, 47.0], [562, 826, 48.0], [826, 1123, 55.0], [1123, 1517, 66.0], [1517, 1948, 70.0], [1948, 2314, 57.0], [2314, 2530, 36.0], [2530, 2722, 37.0], [2722, 2941, 34.0], [2941, 3096, 25.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 302, 0.0], [302, 562, 0.056], [562, 826, 0.01171875], [826, 1123, 0.01369863], [1123, 1517, 0.01055409], [1517, 1948, 0.0], [1948, 2314, 0.0], [2314, 2530, 0.03846154], [2530, 2722, 0.0], [2722, 2941, 0.01869159], [2941, 3096, 0.00662252]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 302, 0.0], [302, 562, 0.0], [562, 826, 0.0], [826, 1123, 0.0], [1123, 1517, 0.0], [1517, 1948, 0.0], [1948, 2314, 0.0], [2314, 2530, 0.0], [2530, 2722, 0.0], [2722, 2941, 0.0], [2941, 3096, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.16666667], [48, 302, 0.08267717], [302, 562, 0.05384615], [562, 826, 0.04924242], [826, 1123, 0.03703704], [1123, 1517, 0.04568528], [1517, 1948, 0.04176334], [1948, 2314, 0.02185792], [2314, 2530, 0.04166667], [2530, 2722, 0.05729167], [2722, 2941, 0.0456621], [2941, 3096, 0.07096774]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3096, 0.8986097]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3096, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3096, 0.91245157]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3096, -196.82019919]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3096, 61.4525989]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3096, 23.77298546]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3096, 36.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Mining shares seen outperforming gold in rising price environment
Posted on 26 September 2013 Tweet
Gold-mining stocks are likely to outperform gold itself if the metal returns to a rising price environment, said fund managers and mining analysts attending the Denver Gold Forum. Historically, this has been the case. But there was a spell during gold’s long bull run when the metal was outpacing mining shares………………………………………..Full Article: Source | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/1698 | {"url": "http://www.opalesque.com/Commodities_Briefing/?p=127451", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.opalesque.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:40:26Z", "digest": "sha1:OHK6BJWKFLRQ2KMFBFIN3O2UW3S2QZZH"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 550, 550.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 550, 7576.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 550, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 550, 137.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 550, 0.9]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 550, 206.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 550, 0.28282828]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 550, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 550, 0.04824561]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 550, 0.09649123]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 550, 0.01010101]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 550, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 550, 0.17171717]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 550, 0.80769231]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 550, 5.84615385]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 550, 0.15151515]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 550, 4.05892413]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 550, 78.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 103, 0.0], [103, 169, 0.0], [169, 203, 0.0], [203, 550, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 103, 0.0], [103, 169, 0.0], [169, 203, 0.0], [203, 550, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 103, 10.0], [103, 169, 9.0], [169, 203, 6.0], [203, 550, 53.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 103, 0.0], [103, 169, 0.0], [169, 203, 0.18181818], [203, 550, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 103, 0.0], [103, 169, 0.0], [169, 203, 0.0], [203, 550, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 103, 0.12621359], [103, 169, 0.01515152], [169, 203, 0.08823529], [203, 550, 0.0259366]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 550, 2.539e-05]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 550, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 550, -5.48e-06]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 550, -42.59771912]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 550, -5.41292416]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 550, -26.53569229]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 550, 4.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Book synopsis
Bad Girls examines representational practices of film and television stories beginning with post-Vietnam cinema and ending with postfeminisms and contemporary public disputes over women in the military. The book explores a diverse range of popular media texts, from the Alien saga to Ally McBeal and Sex and the City, from The Net and VR5 to Sportsnight and G.I. Jane. The research is framed as a study of intergenerational tensions in portrayals of women and public institutions – in careers, governmental service, and interactions with technology. Using iconic texts and their contexts as a primary focus, this book offers a rhetorical and cultural history of the tensions between remembering and forgetting in representations of the American feminist movement between 1979 and 2005. Looking forward, the book sets an agenda for discussion of gender issues over the next twenty-five years and articulates with authority the manner in which «transgression» itself has become a site of struggle.

«‘Bad Girls’ rides the cutting edge of new feminist scholarship. This engaging and important volume brings the study of how women are represented in media into the twenty-first century. Bad Girls is an indispensable book for rhetorical scholars and others interested in women’s issues.» (Barry Brummett, University of Texas at Austin) «This courageous book – to write, to publish, to teach – gets down to cases about how embodied subjectivity works and works out in television and film of the postmodern era. Proving the discursive politics that disciplines genders and recuperates transgressors (and the bodies they inhabit), Owen, Stein, and Vande Berg offer accessible readings of texts and the contexts in which they arise. Their unblinking response to the paralyzing force of postfeminism, at once reasoned and impassioned, flings open doors to reconciliation for feminists of all ages and stripes.» (Caren Deming, University of Arizona)

Standish gets third attempt at public beach
The townwide vote on a long-awaited public beach could happen next November or June 2014.
By Leslie Bridgers lbridgers@pressherald.comStaff Writer Standish residents could decide within a year whether to approve a plan for a long-awaited public beach. Early next month, Sebago Technics will start surveying to determine the best route for an access road from Harmons Beach Road to Sandbar Beach, which the town plans to lease from the Portland Water District. The firm will also begin negotiating with the owners of property through which the road would run, said Town Manager Gordon Billington. "That's the first step," he said. Billington said the town would have to include funding in next year's budget to move forward with the engineering and design of an access road, parking lot and pedestrian bridge to the beach, which is bordered by woods and accessible only by water. That work would take about six months, said Will Conway of Sebago Technics. Billington didn't have an estimate for how much the project would cost, but said it would be more than $75,000, which would require voter approval. The townwide vote could happen in November 2013 or June 2014, he said. It would be the third proposal in the past 20 years for the water district to provide beach access to the town. The other two plans were contingent on moving the town's boat launch farther from the district's intake pipes in Lower Bay to protect the source of Greater Portland's drinking water. Residents opposed the plans when they came up, in 1994 and 2002. A committee of town councilors and water district trustees has been working for the past 10 years to come up with a new plan. In the spring, the council and the water district signed a memorandum of understanding that would allow the town to lease the land and build the access to it. The two sides have not negotiated details of the lease or the management plan for the beach. Wayne Newbegin, a former town councilor who serves on the committee, said he believes this plan is more promising than the previous ones. Newbegin, who lives on Harmons Beach Road, is one of three property owners who would likely lose some land to the access road. He said he has no problem with that. "I think it's going to be beneficial to the people of Standish," he said.

Map Kigali, Rwanda Kigali, Rwanda Eight years for Victoire Ingabire
Published on : 30 October 2012 - 3:50pm | By ((C)AFP) More about: Hutu
Rwandan genocide
Victoire Ingabire
Rwandan opposition politician Victoire Ingabire has been sentenced to eight years in prison by the Rwandan High Court, according to local journalists in Kigali. This is seen as a relatively mild sentence as the prosecutor was demanding life imprisonment. Ingabire's British lawyer Iain Edwards said she will lodge an appeal.
By Sophie van Leeuwen and Saskia Houttuin
Ingabire, the president of UDF-Inkingi, has been found guilty of treason and genocide denial. She was convicted of financing a terrorist group, the FDLR rebels in eastern DRC, but cleared on several other charges.
What her daughter has to say
The verdict has clearly been influenced by the international pressure on the Rwandan government, says Ingabire’s daughter Raissa.
“Without that, my mother’s situation would be worse, much worse,” she says. Raissa, who lives and goes to school in the Netherlands, is not happy with the eight-year sentence and continues to insist her mother is innocent. In Rwanda, the vice-president of UDF-Inkingi, Boniface Twagirimana, is not satisfied either. Ingabire deserves to be a free woman, he says. “Just like all political opponents in this country who have been accused of similar crimes,” he notes.
President of Rwanda
After spending years in exile in the Netherlands, Ingabire, who is part of the Hutu community, returned to Rwanda with the intention of running in the 2010 presidential elections. When she arrived in Kigali, as chairman of the Unified Democratic Forces (UDF), she called for the prosecution of those responsible for crimes against Hutus. Shortly after making her statement, she was placed under house arrest. Meanwhile, incumbent President Paul Kagame, a Tutsi and leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was re-elected.
Ingabire was arrested in her Kigali home on 14 October 2010 for allegedly collaborating with a terrorist organization, dividing the people of Rwanda and denying the 1994 genocide, during which an estimated 800,000 mostly ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed over a roughly 100-day period.
Fair trial?
Detained in a prison in the Rwandan capital, Ingabire had boycotted her trial since April of this year. The opposition leader and her supporters accuse Kagame of trying to eliminate all political opponents.
Human rights activists and foreign politicians have expressed doubts as to whether Ingabire was given a fair trial. Rwandan minister of Justice Tharcisse Karugarama told RNW: "It’s after the trial that we should be able to say whether it was fair or transparent."
Dutch MPs have also repeatedly raised questions about the rule of law in Rwanda. Dutch authorities have assisted the Rwandan government several times by authorizing searches of her home near Rotterdam and dispatching documents to be used in evidence at the trial in Kigali. Rwanda and the Netherlands have a judicial assistance agreement. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in documents published in 2011, wrote that it had no reason to doubt that Ingabire was being given a fair trial. "There is no clear and solid ground to reject Rwanda's request for assistance in the trial of Victoire Ingabire," wrote the Ministry.

TRENTON, N.J. - The new clubhouse at Mercer County's Mountain View Golf Course has been recognized as one of the top clubhouses nationally by Golf Inc. magazine, Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes announced yesterday.
The recognition by Golf Inc., the leading monthly golf magazine for golf course developers, owners, operators, and management company executives, puts Mountain View on par with 15 of the most prestigious and beautiful clubhouse facilities in the world.
Mountain View was one of four runner-ups nationwide for the 2007 "Clubhouse of the Year" competition, which featured winners from golf-rich states such as Arizona and Florida, said Hughes. It was also the only New Jersey golf course recognized this year.
"Mountain View has become a shining jewel in our crown of public golf facilities here in Mercer County," Hughes said. "We knew from hearing from our residents who have enjoyed it how special the new clubhouse was, and being named in such select company by a leading industry magazine proves that we were successful in creating a beautiful, exciting building."
Since its grand opening on June 20, 2007, Mountain View's clubhouse has been solidly booked with corporate luncheons, weddings and private parties.
The 9,000-square-foot clubhouse and pro shop were completed earlier this year after about 10 months of construction and replaced the course's original clubhouse that was nearly 50 years old. The new clubhouse was constructed by contracting firm Waters & Bugbee and designed by architects The Spiezle Group.
The $2.9 million project has enabled the County to provide a modern, expanded venue for the use of the golfing community and other groups. The amenities of the new clubhouse include a fully outfitted, professional kitchen, a larger and more diverse pro shop, all new seating and furniture, and a modern, airy décor.
"This clubhouse has been everything we had hoped for, and more," said Kevin Bannon, Executive Director of the Mercer County Park Commission. "It is wonderful to see such a diverse number of activities and events occupying the building on a daily basis."
The clubhouse is just one reason to play at Mountain View Golf Course, which is enjoying a record year on all levels, Hughes added.
In fact, Mountain View's annual revenue and patronage are up, according to Bannon. Gross revenue is up 44 percent over this time last year, from $787,891 to $1,137,362. Additionally, play is up 11.5 percent, going from 30,883 rounds in 2006 to 34,462 in 2007-an increase of 3,500 rounds. And revenue from outings has increased a staggering 202.5 percent over last year, from $55,247 to $167,123.
The 15 winning clubhouses will be published in January's issue of Golf Inc. magazine and will be honored at an awards dinner in April at Doral Resort and Spa in Miami.

Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? CLICK HERE FIRST: Watch How I Get 100,000 Visitors Per Day And Earn $48,833.00 In A Single Week Selling Other People's Stuff.. The Easy Way! Internet marketing! Can you really make money with internet marketing? When asked “what was the most important invention of the 20th century?” 7% said television, 11% said the telephone and 80% said the computer. Pick up any magazine, watch any television show, read any newspaper… “.com” is the buzz word of the millennium. Ecommerce has arrived and guess whose shopping? Teenagers, generation X’ers, baby boomers, and even seniors (the fastest growing segment online). Ask youself 3 questions: • Is internet marketing the future?
• Are there fortunes being made off of internet marketing?
• Are you making a fortune off of internet marketing? Why not? Fortunes are being made now, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The 50 richest people under the age of 40..guess what? Over half of them made their fortunes on the internet and believe it or not, you can too. All you need is access to a computer. Internet marketing will do 2 things: create new opportunities and destroy old ways and methods of doing business. Welcome to the internet gold rush, you can stake your claim or sit back and watch it all happen. You’ve got 4 chances to make money on the internet right now. • Become an investor – the problem, you must pick the right stock and have money you are willing to risk.
• Become a developer – the problem, you need technical training. Are you ready to quit your job and go back to school? • Become a seller – the problem, you need a marketable product or service, lawyers and patents and infrastructure and a website..a good one because 4/5 people never re-visit the “average site”.
• You can start now with what you have and where you are. The internet marketing revolution will only happen once and everyone reading this will have the same opportunity. Bottom line, get involved or get run over. How can you get involved, what do you have to bring to the table? Your mouth. You see the internet has a problem, there are millions of websites out there and you will never see them all, no one ever will. You know companies like amazon and google are making billions right. Well they spend a huge portion of that on advertisements; banner ads, newspaper ads, radio ads, even $2 million dollar Superbowl ads for people to get to their site. Imagine all the movies that come out, you didn’t see them all. You saw the ones everyone-family, friends and people on your social media recommended. Word of mouth advertising works. People were questioned about how they find sites. Word of mouth was answered by 100% of respondents. It’s called a buzz. Advertising can’t buy it, Hollywood can’t create it, but you can get paid for making it, paid for your opinion, paid for creating a buzz. How do you cash in? That PC you’re on right now is 100x more powerful than the computer that sent man to the moon. It’s time to put it to work. Call it network marketing, affiliate marketing, direct selling, referral marketing, call it whatever you want. It’s already a multibillion dollar industry. A business you can do part time or full time and can be started at home with little or no capital, low overhead, no employees and no special business experience or technical skills; a business that allows you to work your hours, your goals; a business that offers time and financial freedom and a franchise like step-by-step business plan and according to most experts, a home based business offers incredible tax advantages. About 96% of adults from the age of 25-44 are looking to own their own business. The question is, are you ready? Are you tired of being passed up for promotions, commuting; are you ready to work your own hours, take a vacation when you want to, drive the car you’ve dreamed about, live where you want to live and retire in style and not in a shoe string? Look at the facts, even after all that’s happened, this is just the beginning. What are you going to say 10, 20, even 30 years from now when your grandkids ask you if you were involved in the internet marketing revolution. The greatest boom is still ahead, the next few years will make you or break you; you have to make your choice. If not now, when? If not you, who? If not this, what? For once in your life, you can definitely say “I’m in the right place at the right time”. Last edited by RussellK; 01-10-2014 at 09:30 AM.

Re: Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? The first tip I’m going to give you with internet marketing strategies is you need to know the right sites, the right places to market your business. You’re generally going to be able to find these people where there’s a lot of traffic. Makes sense right? Once you understand where the traffic is at, what you need to do is investigate that site or invest in internet market training that’s going to allow you to master how to market on that particular site. You want to attract the ideal prospects, ideal people for whatever product or service that you’re trying to sell. You want to also attract people who you want to be a part of your team if, you’re building one or find business partners for your particular business. You’ll be able to find these people in the right places once you learn how to market on there. Internet marketing positions you to take your business and your sales to another level because you’re taking it to a global scale; you’re taking it to a place where there’s millions and millions of people… the main thing about that is that you need to learn how to find these people.

Re: Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? What is internet marketing and how could you possibly make money online? Let’s talk about 2 terms: 1. Affiliate Marketing
2. Internet Marketing If you've been looking at how to make money online, you've probably heard lots about these terms. People incorrectly use them interchangeably. Affiliate marketing is essentially selling other peoples stuff. You can be an affiliate for insurance companies, selling policies over the phone and making commissions. That’s affiliate marketing, you’re a salesperson for that company; you’re only making money when you sell something and you’re using telemarketing to make that sale. Affiliate marketing is a simple concept, you go out and find things that people want you to sell for them and you make a commission for every sale you make. So, what is internet marketing? Well just like telemarketing, internet marketing is the way you sell something. We can use internet marketing to do something that makes sales in affiliate marketing as well. Many times you’re using internet marketing tactics to do affiliate marketing because its kind of the easiest thing to do online. That’s why these terms are often used together, but I want to clear that they are really 2 different things. Internet marketing is using online methods and tactics like paid search, search engine optimization, email marketing, article marketing, any off these things to capture the searchers online (the people browsing the web) and then selling these people or searchers stuff, either affiliate products or your own goods and services. It’s very similar to a real life business, but there’s a couple of incredibly important differences. In a “real life” store, you do the same thing: you stock other peoples stuff, attracting people from the street through some type of advertising, you try to get them into the store and sell them stuff. The big difference with internet marketing is that you don’t need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a store, inventory, advertising, rent, employees, the list goes on and on. Your store is essentially your website. The people coming up off the street are the online searchers and the stuff that you’re selling is all inventoried and kept by those other people or companies, well at least in the affiliate marketing model and that’s why its so popular; you don’t have to have inventory or spend money up front, you just get paid a commission on every sale you make. You could conceivably start up 10 or 100 of these businesses and not care if one of them doesn't work because there really is no risk or barrier entry, you just invest some of your time. Its also very hands off; you don’t have to go to the store every day or hire people to work there, the internet and technology are your employees. Let’s talk about a simple example of this. Let’s say you started up a website about home theater and you have all sorts of content in there about picking the right TV, DVD player or anything about that market. Your website is your store, you have your displays, a nice looking, helpful environment and information, but the difference is that its all virtual. Your store is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 day a year; no one has to manage it, be there, open it or close it, clean it, or pay for rent..you get the idea. Let’s further say that you recommend a particular TV to your readers or maybe you just run an advertisement, a banner and your site points to a vendor that sells that TV and other things. So a customer visits that vendors store through your site and buys something, you get a commission! Now that’s using internet marketing; you have a website, somehow you got people to visit your website and you sold them on something using affiliate marketing…you just made money online and that could been while you were sleeping! That’s why some people can say ridiculous statements like, “I make money while I sleep.” As crazy as it sounds, its true. Last edited by RussellK; 01-10-2014 at 09:30 AM.
Re: Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? If you were to guess how many actual internet users there are in the world today, what would you guess? At the end of 2011, the world population was almost at 7 billion people. Out of the total world population according to the Internet World Stats, the number of internet users totals almost 2.3 billion users! Ok, so out of 2.3 billion internet uses worldwide, there are over 273 million in the US. Here is the mind blowing part..looking at the US with a growth rate of almost 153% in 2010, there was a growth of 94 million internet users in 2011 alone in the US! That’s a growth of over 250,000 new internet users every day. The internet is exploding, people are using the internet every day. And do you know what? There are many people that are becoming very rich. So with that said, I only have one question for you..what are you doing to capture your piece of the market? If you can wrap your mind around the potential of how profitable utilizing the internet can be, you wouldn't hesitate to jump on the bandwagon. Even capturing a tiny, tiny fraction of some of these users came make you very rich. Last edited by RussellK; 01-10-2014 at 09:30 AM.
Re: Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? With the economy the way it is, the timing couldn't be more perfect to create a small business of your own. Do you have a passion for something? What do you love to do? The possibilities are endless. Here are some ideas for starting an online business: 1. Online Publications or Newspapers – Many people aren't even buying papers and magazines anymore! You can create a content-based website that will provide a lot of value. You can offer subscriptions (people pay to gain access) or offer your information free of service but maybe place advertisements on the site. 2. Affiliate Marketing – If you market a particular company, product or service and someone buys from you, then you get a commission. Many people create websites and collect commissions based on those sales. 3. Network Marketing – The network marketing industry is exploding. You can sell products, earn commissions, plus you can recruit others and also earn a residual commission on what others “on your team” are earning. Think of what you would enjoy doing the most. You want your online business to be something you truly enjoy. Many affiliate marketing companies and network marketing companies offer their own slick and fancy company websites for you to market. Which means you are sending all your prospects to their site even though it has your name on it. They may tell you to go buy a domain, forward it to the company-sponsored site and send it to all your friends and family. Many people think that sending people to their company-based website is the way to go. And what about social media? Many people think that if they just talk about their product or service on Facebook, Twitter or other social networking sites, their friends are going to spontaneously become a customer…or if they “bug” them enough; well it doesn't work that way! Did you know that, on average, less than 10% of your friends usually will see your posts? Market research shows that a person needs to know you, your reputation and your product/service before he/she is willing to buy form you. How many touches does it take before someone actually buys? In the case of impulse purchases, only one, but this usually happens where there already is a certain level of confidence or trust or the price is so low that it doesn't really matter to the buyer. They say it takes an average of 7 touches for someone to buy. Do you think your prospect is going to want to see the same company-sponsored video or website 7 times? A huge percentage of people don’t fall for that. Not only that, but they may look at you as someone that is only trying to sell them something…and people do not want to be sold to. And once again, do you think they want to jump over to your company-sponsored website over and over? No. Just because this is the internet, you need to remember that people buy from people, not companies. Now here is the most important part. If you don’t want to “scare” your friends and family away, if you truly want to create an online presence, if you want to be taken seriously, the best way to truly have success is you must have your own website. People will be attracted to you if you are willing to offer them something of value, something they can use, and something that would draw them to your site over and over. You can put things on your website that not only builds value for people you know, but attracts hundreds, thousands, even millions of potential prospects!

Re: Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? You see, there are very easy and effective ways to attract prospects to your website and once you get them there, you are giving them something of value and if you know what you are doing, there are some extremely effective ways of “capturing” their contact information so when they leave your site, they will have a reason to come back again and again, until they buy…and they will! But wait, it gets even better..an added benefit of having your own website, combining having your own website with social media will show your friends, and their friends, and their friend (and so on) that you do have something of value to offer..it’s called attraction marketing. It’s an easy science and those that “get it” are making big bucks. But the first thing you need to do is: 1. Decide that you want to grab a piece of the huge internet pie.
2. Learn how to create a website.
3. Learn how to market your website. If you follow these three simple steps, I promise that you will have success! Last edited by RussellK; 01-10-2014 at 09:30 AM.
Re: Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? Today I want to talk about basic internet marketing tips, basic foundation skills you need to be successful online. Now there’s a lot of different avenues you can take doing internet marketing. You can create your own products, you can sell other peoples products, or provide a service, there’s a lot of different ways to make money through internet marketing. Here are some of the key ones: Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a great place to start internet marketing. It’s when you sell other peoples products online; you don’t need to own any products, or stock and ship any products, you’re simply recommending products using affiliate links on your webpage that will send your visitors to the page where they can buy the product and when they do you earn a commission from recommending them. The benefits of affiliate marketing is that it is all digital, you don’t have products, there’s a large scope of products you can be an affiliate for and it’s relatively easy to get set up and going. Google Adsense
Google Adsense websites are similar type of information based websites, but the way you monetize them is different. Instead of having affiliate links on your page, you have blocks of ads which are ads Google set up on your webpage and as people click those ads, you get paid by Google for helping them advertise things on your website. Google Adsense is really easy to get into as well if you’re just starting your internet marketing career and it’s simple to set up. Setting up the ads on your website is a breeze, it’s just a matter of getting the right niche market and getting the right traffic to your webpage and having good quality content that Google likes to see on information based websites. Product Creation
Another form of internet marketing is product creation. You can create products in a digital form like an EBook, which is an online book in the form of a PDF basically. Other digital products like videos, training and all sorts of things are easy to create and you can sell them online as your own product. Pick a niche market you’re interested in and create some content that will help people who are also interested in that specific niche. Traffic
The main thing you need to get right with any type of internet marketing is traffic. Paid and free traffic are the options you have at hand. Traffic is really what makes money online. Getting people to the right place is harder than getting people to take action. Traffic generation has to deal with pretty much anything online. You have to spend a lot of time not only in the beginning, but your whole career mastering traffic; it’s all about traffic. Paid traffic is like when you pay Google for Google Adwords to advertise on Google pages. It’s different than Adsense, so when you go to a Google results page, those advertisements on the right are Google Adwords. What you can do for free traffic generation is organically show up in the Google results page. Email Marketing
Email marketing is another important aspect of internet marketing. If you can capture a persons email address when they come to your website, then you can contact them again and build a relationship with them over time. There is numerous software programs out there that help you send out mass emails to your list, instead of having to email every single person separately. You can set up an automatic sequence that will help send out emails as soon as someone enters their email address to your email list. The great thing about having an email list is you can sell things to people multiple times after you build a relationship with them. The larger your email is, the more money you are going to make. Social Marketing
Social marketing is becoming a lot more important these days. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, other sets of platforms which people are sharing information in a real time arena is playing a big role in internet marketing. If people share your site around virally, you can get a whole lot of traffic. These are a few ways that you can get started with internet marketing and succeed even if you don’t have any experience whatsoever. Last edited by RussellK; 01-10-2014 at 09:30 AM.

Re: Internet Marketing - Can You Really Make Money With Internet Marketing? Online marketing simply refers to promoting goods and services on the internet. This can be done by selling your own products and earning a commission for each sale. Internet marketing involves targeting a particular niche. This refers to a specific market segment, for example weight loss, home business, muscle building, and so on. Anyone can do online marketing. The Internet is still very young, but is starting to experience exponential growth; internet traffic doubles every 100 days. Now is the perfect time to get started. To successfully internet market, you’re going to need a website; it’ll be your personal capture page. The aim of this website will be to capture the information of your visitors. To do this, you’re going to have to offer something valuable to them for visiting your site. This may be a free EBook, a subscription to a newsletter, free report or article, etc. Essentially what you want to do is give the visitor something in return for giving you their email address and name. When they give you their email address and name, they will be added to your auto responder – program that automatically sends emails to whoevers on that list. You can set up what is sent to that list, how often emails get sent out, etc. When someone visits your personal capture page (your website) and signs up, they’ll be added to your list and you can send them whatever you want – useful information related to your niche, promotions for paid products so you can get a commission when they buy it, etc. A great way to make money through online marketing is through your list. How do you get people to sign up to your list? Well that’s where internet marketing comes in. It’s all about marketing a product to an audience. The first thing you need to do is get an audience. I’m going to talk to you about a very brief outline on ways you can do this because getting traffic is a massive topic. Some ways you can get traffic to your webpage is through YouTube videos, creating a Facebook profile promoting your products on your site, posting on forums and getting noticed there, adding banners to websites, PPC ads, and search results on search engines through SEO. When you get this traffic, you’ll be able to get people to subscribe to your email list. Once they’re on your list you can follow them up with emails and promotions to build a relationship with them. This is crucial to online marketing; you should have a good relationship with your email list so they trust and value you, look up to you, and enjoy getting your emails. They then will be more likely to buy whatever you’re offering them in your emails. Once this relationship is built, you can drive them to your primary business whether it’s driving them to a Facebook page, YouTube video, another blog, and so on; once the foundation of the relationship is built, you can do whatever you like with your list and be extremely profitable from them by internet marketing. Here are some of the benefits of online marketing: Freedom of working for yourself You have no boundaries; you have the opportunity for unlimited growth and development Unlimited earning potentials Networking It’s a lot of fun You never stop learning Minimal investment and time required compared to traditional offline businesses. Online marketing is a skill. Just like any skill, it takes hard work and effort to learn. You can always improve on what you know. Internet marketing must be treated like any other business. Forget the idea that making money online is easy. It’s easily achievable, yes, but it takes hard work. Anyone can learn how to get into and succeed with online marketing, it isn't rocket science. The reason why so many people fail at internet marketing is because they set out thinking its quick, easy money and do not treat it like a business; when they’re not rich after a week or so, they quit. The key to being successful with online marketing is sticking at it. A lot of internet marketers don’t make money within their first six months. A lot of the big online marketing gurus out there, who are making 4-5 figures a month, didn't make money for the first few months when they got started. Within those early months of your internet marketing career you need to focusing on building your list, creating a website, making an authority figure of yourself within your chosen niche and providing value to your customers. Once you've implemented that, you can then start promoting products and services to your list and start generating residual income for the rest of your life. The hardest bit of online marketing is the initial growth, but after that growth becomes exponential; you just need to stick at it if you want to be successful with internet marketing.

Police say girl had gun in Macon middle school
By: The Associated Press Posted: Fri 1:03 PM, Oct 05, 2012
/ Article Friday, Oct. 5, 2012
MACON, Ga. (AP) -- Police in Bibb County are investigating after a 14-year-old student was found with a gun inside a middle school.
Authorities say a campus police officer found the girl with the weapon in Broomfield Middle School Thursday morning.
The Telegraph reports that it's not the first time a gun has been found at the school.
In November 2010, officials, acting on a tip from a parent, detained a 14-year-old eighth-grader for bringing an unloaded gun to the school.
In August 2009, a student was charged after bringing a gun to the school. It accidentally discharged into the floor of a classroom. No one was hurt in that incident. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/2135 | {"url": "http://www.wrdw.com/news/headlines/Police-say-girl-had-gun-in-Macon-middle-school-172849531.html?site=full", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.wrdw.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:32:46Z", "digest": "sha1:QOR4PSQNEKS55GF3CW4DVIZQIMC526XA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 779, 779.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 779, 2888.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 779, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 779, 100.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 779, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 779, 206.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 779, 0.30635838]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 779, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 779, 0.0589198]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 779, 0.03600655]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 779, 0.04582651]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 779, 0.01734104]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 779, 0.23699422]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 779, 0.61481481]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 779, 4.52592593]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 779, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 779, 4.12365217]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 779, 135.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 106, 0.0], [106, 137, 0.0], [137, 269, 1.0], [269, 386, 1.0], [386, 473, 1.0], [473, 614, 1.0], [614, 779, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 106, 0.0], [106, 137, 0.0], [137, 269, 0.0], [269, 386, 0.0], [386, 473, 0.0], [473, 614, 0.0], [614, 779, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 47, 9.0], [47, 106, 11.0], [106, 137, 5.0], [137, 269, 22.0], [269, 386, 18.0], [386, 473, 17.0], [473, 614, 23.0], [614, 779, 30.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 106, 0.16981132], [106, 137, 0.2], [137, 269, 0.01652893], [269, 386, 0.0], [386, 473, 0.0], [473, 614, 0.04511278], [614, 779, 0.02484472]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 106, 0.0], [106, 137, 0.0], [137, 269, 0.0], [269, 386, 0.0], [386, 473, 0.0], [473, 614, 0.0], [614, 779, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.04255319], [47, 106, 0.15254237], [106, 137, 0.09677419], [137, 269, 0.08333333], [269, 386, 0.04273504], [386, 473, 0.02298851], [473, 614, 0.0141844], [614, 779, 0.02424242]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 779, 0.04398358]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 779, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 779, 0.30214298]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 779, -48.15375243]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 779, 8.8911965]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 779, 6.15807267]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 779, 9.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Watch ABC TV Brides 365 Ghost Tales of Legend

/ Article What may be the most legendary ghost story in Lauderdale County is the account of what happened at Stuckey's Bridge, where a man named Stuckey allegedly killed 20 people traveling down the Chunky River before he was arrested and hung from the same bridge. Legend says you can see his lantern at night crossing the bridge, and fascination with ghost stories lies in something much deeper than the lives of those they're based on.
Dr. Alan Brown, author of the book "Haunted Meridian, Mississippi," tells us, "Well, I think our interest in ghosts lies in our desire to know that there's something after this life. There is a spiritual component to Halloween, and ghosts kind of provide that proof that some people want."
Unlike the tales of ghosts at Stuckey's Bridge where we're not 100-percent sure if those are actually true or not, the tales of hauntings at Rose Hill are based on people who actually lived and now call Rose Hill Cemetery their final resting place.
Anne McKee, a storyteller, explains, "There are tokens that are left on her grave where people hope she will remember them on the other side. So, although she's not spoken to me, and that's okay, I feel like she has spoken to others that come through here just to see her grave."
McKee is talking about the Gypsy Queen who is buried at Rose Hill, and perhaps those who visit her grave have her in their presence unawares.

Honorable John Boehner
Committee on Education and the Workforce
Dear Mr. Chairman:
Some time ago, you wrote to the Secretary about an interpretation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as it applies to Titles I and II of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act (Perkins Act). I want to let you know of recent developments concerning that interpretation and provide you with a copy of new guidance the Department has issued at my direction. I am sending an identical response to Congressmen Hoekstra and McKeon.
The Department of Education issued guidance on January 18, 2001, regarding the applicability of FERPA to disclosures of student information to meet the performance accountability requirements of the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (Title II of WIA) and the Perkins Act. On January 19, 2001, the Department of Labor, in conjunction with the Department of Education, issued guidance on meeting the performance information required by section 122 of WIA.
After I was informed of the nature of the guidance, I requested a comprehensive review of the facts surrounding the issuance. After a thorough review of this issue, the Department has rescinded the 2001 documents and has issued new guidance, a copy of which is enclosed.
I am most appreciative of your interest in the privacy rights of parents and students. Please be assured that the Department of Education will make every effort to ensure that these rights are protected.
I look forward to continuing to work with you and the Committee on Education and the Workforce.

133 Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
(9 entries) This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ’s believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
87 Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
162 Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 3
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it’s not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the “young” in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
John D. Laing,
22 Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
(4 entries) This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss. October 29, 2012
44 Series: Thinking Aloud Together
(4 entries) This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3. March 15, 2012
0 Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Because evolution is a challenging subject, many Christians are tempted to simply ignore or reject it. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and with our relationships with other people—believers and non-Christians alike. First, Christians should study evolution because (like all the natural sciences) it is the study of God’s creation. Creation itself is a complementary revelation to what is communicated in the Scriptures, and through it God shows how and when he brought about life, to his honor and glory. Studying the creation is also an invitation into a deeper understanding of the attributes and character of Father, Son and Spirit. Second, considering evolutionary creation aids the Church in its gospel mission, supporting young Christians in their faith, helping answer critics, and equipping us to engage effectively in the wider culture. An anti-evolution attitude can harm Christian young people by presenting them with a false choice between pursuing science OR holding to faith. Similarly, a hostile attitude towards evolution can hinder evangelism when seekers hear that they must reject science to follow Christ. On the other hand, studying evolution as a God-ordained process helps Christians refute arguments that science encourages an atheistic worldview. Furthermore, as the church engages front-page issues raised by the rapid growth in science, medicine, and technology, a Christ-centered voice in such areas as bioethics will be stronger if based on a thorough understanding of the natural sciences, including evolution.

(7 entries) In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins’ scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
21 A Pastor's Perspective on Death and Evolution
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
6 Philip Yancey on "What Good is God?"
In this video “Conversation,” Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
71 Series: The Weapon of Science, the Sword of the Spirit, and a Call to Prayer
(2 entries) Written by Rev. Kerry L. Bender, this two part series expresses concerns that science has been viewed as a weapon rather than a tool on both sides of the so-called war. Atheistic scientists and devout believers alike have abused science in its true form. Unfortunately, evangelicals have gone a step further and have often misused the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, as well. Amidst it all, he calls all Christians to be prayerful.

216 Series: How Could God Create Through Evolution? A Look at Theodicy
(4 entries) This series, written by Bethany Sollereder, seeks to address this question: “How could God create through a process that involves so much pain and death?” She first presents the two drastically opposite worldviews held by theologians and scientists. She also reflects theologically on how a world created through evolutionary means can be good, and concludes with some thoughts concerning the Fall, physical decay and spiritual death.
5 Why Must the Church Engage in Scientific Discourse?
In this video conversation, Os Guinness addresses the question of why it is essential for Christians to engage in scientific discourse. Resistance, skepticism, and hostility to science are not biblical precepts, but views that originated from Christian movements that emerged in the 19th century.
Paul Seely
140 Series: The Flood: Not Global, Barely Local, Mostly Theological
(4 entries) The three part series, written by Paul Seely, explores the scientific validity of the Flood in Genesis. He offers the approximate date of the flood according to Scripture, and then looks at various lines of evidence that contradict the idea of a global flood at that time. In light of other Mesopotamian flood stories, scholars conclude that the flood was local at best. In the end, he suggests that this story primarily reveals theological truths from a limited scientific understanding of natural events. « Previous page | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/2377 | {"url":

advertisement "People need to know before I’m associated with any party, I am an American and that’s what I want to drive home at the RNC.” – BeBe Winans, Gospel/R&B singer
BeBe Winans knew some African-Americans would have a problem with the fact that he sang for Mitt Romney and his party at the RNC, but he doesn’t care.
In his interview with reporter Wendy L. Wilson, who is covering both conventions for Essence.com, he says people have a tendency to forget that politicians are people too.
“It’s so easy to sit back in your comfort zone and judge people and say you’re this and you’re that. So to come here and to be a part of the Convention, I feel like I am showing bipartisanship and taking a stand as an American. I applaud anyone who wants to take on the load that comes with being President of the United States. You really have to love your country to place yourself in that position.”
Winans, who will turn 50 this month, says the thought of how African-Americans might react crossed his mind, but added that at this point in his life, he quickly dismissed those thoughts.
“I am at a point in my life where I know who I am, and I know what I’m all about. I have never been the type of person who has ever worried about what people think,” states Winans; who had yet to meet Romney or Ryan, but said he was looking forward to meeting them at the convention.

Be proud to be Republican BeBe if that’s who you are… you are among a number of celebs who don’t get involved in politics because it could cost them $$$$.. you would be better off not trying to explain why you went to a Klan meeting and sang for them.

If he doesn’t care or sees anything wrong with it then he shouldn’t have to explain it. Regardless of how it was meant to appear, it spoke volumes.

The GOP probably paid the man well that’s all.You don’t to be a republican or democrat to make money.We all know he did’nt perform for free and I don’t blame BeBe.

Listening to Bebe explain or not explain whether he is a Republican or not came across as though he was uncomfortable with his decision. He also stated that his invitation to the Democratic Convention was rescinded, and he was working on the Democrats to let him sing…away. It seems to me that he wants his cake and eat it too. He wants to sing at both conventions while backing the Republicans with a wink and a nod. He wants to continue to enjoy his predominately minority audience while he go against their best interest. Well Bebe, you should be uncomfortable because this is going to effect you financially. It is going to be hard press to back you while you back them, and take our dollars, to support their ideas and their agenda. I hope, Bebe, by crossing over, I hope it will generate a diverse audience such as the tea party, fiscal conservatives, and socially responsible fan base. Bebe you are going to need it. Much is given, much is required.

Extraordinary Moments
Curious about life as a Club member? We invite you to experience Exclusive Resorts for yourself through the Club's Sponsored Guest program. As a Sponsored Guest of the Club, you can book a 4–night or 7–night stay at one of several Exclusive Resorts properties.
Seeing the Club through the Eyes of a New Member We recently chatted with brand–new member Tonja Crosby about her very first trip with Exclusive Resorts. She and her husband went with their two children and several family friends to one of our Peninsula Papagayo residences in Costa Rica. Tonja emphasized how different this vacation was from trips her family had taken in the past, from the beautiful home to the attentive service. "It was the most enjoyable and relaxing vacation we've ever had. In the past, when we've vacationed with our five– and seven–year old children, we'd typically get a couple of hotel rooms. It was sometimes difficult to get an adjoining room for the kids and we didn't want to stay in just one room. Now we have a home." Tonja's husband Chris was the one who first gravitated to the idea of Exclusive Resorts. "My husband loved the idea of all the different Club locations. He was definitely the one who thought it would be right for my family. And I'm so glad and grateful that we joined." Their first trip was full of small, memorable moments. Getting familiar with local flavors during a private cooking lesson with Exclusive Resorts clubhouse chef Nicolas Devenelle. Exploring nearby villages and the surrounding countryside on an ATV tour. And, of course, spending plenty of time relaxing with their children and friends. "We had a private dinner one night by the pool. They set up a little table for us with lights and candles on stairs. There were touches and certain finishes on things that I've never experienced. I felt like a celebrity." So what's next for this new member family? "We're going to let our kids pick the next destination for this summer. They love the pictures of the Exclusive Resorts homes in Lake Tahoe, so that's looking pretty good. And we plan on having more family get–togethers. Before we joined the Club we wouldn't have thought to go somewhere to meet our family members—we'd just go to their homes. I'm from Canada and maybe I can get my sisters and kids to meet at one of the Club's homes in Whistler. The Club has opened our minds to different vacations that we didn't think we could do before." We are so glad to welcome the Crosbys into the Exclusive Resorts member family, and we look forward to providing them with memorable travel experiences for many years to come. Did you know Exclusive Resorts offers 21 spacious homes in Costa Rica? Our stunning Poro Poro residences are nestled on a cliff and feature private pools and hot tubs as well as sweeping views of the Pacific.

Town applies for broadband help
Oct 03, 2013 | 1294 views | 0 | 75 | | READSBORO- The town of Readsboro is applying to participate in a program that will designate the town as a Business Broadband Improvement District by the Vermont Telecommunications Authority. According to the VTA, if designated, the town will be eligible to receive technical and financial support to improve available broadband Internet service, specifically for businesses.According to town administrator Mark Shea, Readsboro’s isolated location in southern Vermont makes it hard to attract business, and any opportunity to improve technological and communication services should be taken. “Broadband is not available right now in town and in today’s global economy, broadband is essential to have in order for businesses to thrive.” Services that Shea said the town currently lacked and would benefit from through the program are hotspots cell service, Wi-Fi, and 4G capabilities in the downtown village area.The VTA will provide technical assistance to all designated business broadband improvement districts. According to VTA, those districts may also be considered for funding for improvement projects and between $1 million and $2 million will be made available. As part of the application process, Shea said the town had to indicate all the village businesses that would benefit from the program and supply their contact information in the application, should they have to prove their need.“Readsboro is isolated by geography, more so than other communities,” said Shea. “All the more reason for this grant to be approved. Utilizing technology can help bring down those obstacles and include Readsboro in being competitive in the southern Vermont economy. The whole town and directly the business owners would benefit by communicating effectively as other businesses that thrive do.

I'm really enjoying Stanford's CS193P class on developing for iOS devices:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-development/id473757255
The class notes are at:
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p
If any of you are interested in learning to develop music software, but don't know anything about programming, you can get to Stanford's introductory classes too:
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs106a
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs106b
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs107
They are all available on iTunes U. I think that is good enough reason by itself to buy an iPad...
FWIW, you can also get to similar MIT classes that are also available on iTunes U:

Thanks for the link, Doug. It would be cool to be able to write apps for music. I have a dream of a MIDI app with a drum machine GUI, switching between an 808, 909, 606, etc., to control analog circuits (think TR-9090, MB-808). The fusion of old and new. Imagine an 808 with an iphone dock...
I've been working on a design for a drum machine that has plug in modules for each voice and for each control interface. (I wanted to be able to plug in a PIC chip module, or an ARM module, or an MSP430 module.) I have a listing of the pinouts on the iPhone and iPad, so it shouldn't be too hard to make an interface where you could plug in an iPhone or iPad...
Being able to keep the iOS device charged while in use is a definite must. It's crazy how few "musical" devices there are out there that allow for that.
I'd be interested in that list of pinouts.
I started here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_connector
And then went to:
https://nuxx.net/wiki/iPod_Dock_Connector
http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml
http://www.allpinouts.org/forums.html/Apple_iPod,_iPad_and_iPhone_dock
So, pin 23 (USB, +5VDC) and pin 19, 20 (+12V). Hmmm...

The new Inpatient Rehabilitation Center seeks to create a compassionate and safe environment, using a patient-centered approach to care and healing by creating an individualized treatment plan based on impairments (what type of disease caused the dysfunction), activity limitations (disabilities) and participation limitations (community integration). The program is individualized to each patient's specific needs.
Utilizing physical, occupational and speech/language therapies as required by the patient's treatment plan, inpatient acute rehabilitation is structured to return the patient to a high quality of life and assist the patient to regain the highest level of normal daily functioning.
Both the patient and their family will learn to manage impairments that affect:
Other activities of daily living Employing a team approach - physicians, nurses, therapists and other specialized rehabilitation professionals as well as the patient and their family members, will create a customized intensive inpatient therapy program to meet the patient's needs. Education and training necessary to manage medical needs following discharge will be provided to both the patient and family or caregiver.
Inpatient programsInpatient specialty programs, focused on Eisenhower Medical Center's four centers of excellence, include the following:
Orthopedics Neuroscience Oncology Cardiovascular Common diagnoses for patients who require intensive inpatient acute rehabilitation therapy include:
Spinal Cord Dysfunction Amputation
Neuromuscular Conditions
Arthritic Conditions For information regarding inpatient services, please call 760- 834-7870.
Equipment and Facilities
A large open space for gait and transfer training State-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment Training kitchen and bathroom Large exercise classroom
Outdoor training space
Car module for transfer training
Case management support
Smooth transition to primary care and specialty services after leaving the hospital
The goal of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Center is to provide patients with high levels of patient satisfaction with a functional recovery and community integration.
Patients should be referred to the Inpatient Rehabilitation Center by a physician.
Once a referral is made, a pre-admission assessment is conducted to determine if the patient is sufficiently stable to participate in a rehabilitation therapy program. The patient must need at least two therapy modalities - such as physical, occupational and/or speech therapy.
Patients in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Center must participate in a minimum of three hours of directed rehabilitation therapy per day.
Adequate support resources need to be available at discharge to allow the patient to return to a home setting with or without support.
Insurance preauthorization for the Inpatient Rehabilitation Center is needed. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/2526 | {"url": "http://emc.org/body.cfm?id=727&refID=406", "partition": "head_middle",

I finally GET it! I've flirted with the idea of going fully "paleo" for several years. I actually tried it for a while back in 2011 and continued off and on for the past 2 years... until about 6-8 months ago when I was ANYTHING but paleo. Bring on the gluten-free oreos!
Now I've mentioned before how much I don't really like labels. I'm not saying I want to be "paleo" to have a certain online reputation or to pretend I am the be-all, end-all of all things food knowledge. I'm not. Far from it.
See the thing is, I was feeling terrible. Tired ALL the time. Sugar swings EVERY. SINGLE. afternoon. Cheetos and diet Dr. Pepper were a daily part of my food intake... and I was even nearly falling asleep on the way home from work in the evenings. And that was not cool. Not cool at all. It was embarrassing and I just felt terrible. Again, ALL the time. And I finally had had enough. I was honestly scared that I might get into an accident on the way home just from the constant sugar swings.
It took me years to get to that point. Do you still want to go to McDonald's? No judgement here! I went for years and years, even just for the gluten-free eggs & sausage. But apparently after years & years of abusing my body through food... it had had enough.
My Dad needed heart transplant surgery. My grandmother was a long-time diabetic. I really didn't want to make either of those health issues part of my future and I was just exhausted from feeling bad ALL the time.
So with the help of my husband's cousin Sabrina, I decided to try paleo again. Sabrina talked about the great success she had had over the past few months and her soaring energy levels and I wanted that. I want to feel good. On a daily basis, without tons of caffeine or sugar swings in the afternoon.
I was finally ready to say goodbye to my beloved "Cheetos." My body felt bad enough that I didn't want them anymore. You don't have to be there yet. It took me a LONG time. And that's kind of the beauty of this whole journey. I know how hard it is to let go of those foods. No judgement here.
Today marks being 1 month completely paleo. It's actually closer to 6 weeks, but a month since I've been tracking my weight and my stats just to see how paleo has helped me. And it has tremendously. My energy levels are incredible. I finally feel GOOD most of the time, most days. I've lost quite a few inches in my waist, arms, and thighs. My clothes fit much better. But I'm still learning things. I'm still learning what foods work best for my body and what foods don't.
Right now, as much as I love baking, I'm not baking much at all. I want to hold off on the "paleo" baked goods until I'm at a healthy weight and mindset. Baked goods are an 'overeating" trigger food for me. And right now, I feel better about my health than I have in years. I feel like I'm finally ready to make healthy eating a life choice, not just a "few months" choice, or a "transitional" choice... but lifelong.
I'm no longer angry that I can't eat whatever foods I want too. I came to the point where I'm more interested in my health than in what I cannot have. It took years, I MEAN YEARS, for me to get to that point in my life. But I'm here. And I'm ready. I'm ready for a healthy and happy future that works for my body.
journey to health,
low glycemic,
CrowsfeetCupcakesAndCelluliteOctober 5, 2013 at 8:37 AMLove your story! Mine is quite similar and after a long bout of being "angry" that I can't eat the "good stuff" (i.e. desserts, the occasional donut, anything with wheat in it, etc) I finally reached a point where I had to pick between having stomach pain/health issues/being resentful or simply choosing to embrace a paleo lifestyle. I've been Paleo for about 2 years now and have never felt better!Looking forward to seeing future Paleo posts/recipes from you!ReplyDeleteAnna AspnesOctober 5, 2013 at 9:23 AMYou'll never look back. It's been almost 2 years for me and I'm actually at that point where I don't even want the baked goods anymore. The paleo journey is a journey and I hope you find what you are looking for.ReplyDeleteAnonymousOctober 5, 2013 at 11:19 AMYeah!!!! So happy for you!!! I have been a follower since I was diagnosed "gluten intolerant" but over the last year or so since we've gone Paleo, I was finding less and less on your blog that I could relate to. I was just about ready to unsubscribe. With your family health history, I was really concerned for you. I too have come a long way from what I used to call the "O's" food group (Doritos, Fritos, Cheetos -- all consumed with ice cold Pepsi, of course) which was a "go to" thing for me when I was having an emotional day. Now, I am just finishing my Nutritional Therapy certification, and I understand how the body works at a whole new level and what nutrition means to the body physiologically. Let me know if you have any questions. Keep it up!! Good health should not be taken for granted. =)ReplyDeleteChery KinnickOctober 5, 2013 at 11:28 AMHi Carrie - I have to applaud your willingness to share on your "Ginger Lemon Girl" journey. I've identified with you and your blog for quite awhile (we both work in libraries and have similar interests). I've been running the same anxiety game over food for years... anger at not being able to eat sugar and/or gluten-filled treats whenever I wanted to, and dealing with candidiasis. But, I've reached a point where I just can't fight low energy levels, aches and pains, and foggy-headiness anymore. There's so much that I need to accomplish on a daily basis, and I can't do it while feeling lousy. I tried the Atkins diet years ago for a several month stretch and began to feel fantastic; I lost weight, my skin cleared... ALL my symptoms just disappeared--even the constant tinnitus I experienced. Then, I began to eat "normally" again toward the holidays and my immune system just seemed to fall off a cliff. The hypothyroidism (brought on by gluten sensitivity?) that may have lurked for some time hit with a vengeance. I've been eating paleo for just one week now, and I am seeing a big improvement already--several pounds dropped, rashes beginning to clear, and I'm not utterly exhausted when I get home from work. It's all about planning and having the right things in the house, by-passing all the pitfalls (like the McD word), and doing one day at a time. There are a lot of us out there who struggle with the same issues, so thank you for being brave enough to share it all. I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandmother and very hopeful for your father's progress. Their experiences have influenced you for the better, and I'm sure they would be thrilled about that!ReplyDeleteDawnOctober 5, 2013 at 4:06 PMFive years paleo and 60 pounds lighter - be well, and thanks for sharing:)ReplyDeleteCheryl HarrisOctober 5, 2013 at 6:16 PMyahoo! all of us make decisions/changes if and when we're good and ready. So glad you feel good.ReplyDeletePattyOctober 5, 2013 at 8:26 PMHi Carrie, I'm new to you blog and think that I understand your plight. I've recently chosen to eat gluten-free and have read quite a few bloggers pages while looking for new recipes. At one time, for six years, I chose to not eat meat. I did just fine, felt wonderful. I've learned that we need our meats, oils, veggies, fruits, etc. I now eat Paleo, most of the time. My foods are carefully chosen, and, if veggies are not garden fresh, they are bought as organic. Eggs are organic and are from a neighbor's chickens. Meats are all organic. My choice is to be fussy and eat nothing with pestacides, antibiotics, or hormones in it. If I want, I treat myself with something that I know is 'bad' for me. I'm human. Believing that our bodies do their best on 'clean' foods, my goal is to continue to be 'fussy'. This works and works well. I'm older, in my sixties (eeek!) and feel great. I walk first thing in the mornings (for my health0, ride my bike both for the fun of it and for my sanity/health, and mow the grass myself, care for a small garden, etc. Yes, it all works well. Unfortunately, I watch as my friends continue to get, what is called, diseases and begin taking RX's for their problems. If only they would find their CURE in foods. I, too, loved the Dr Pepper and Cheetos. Odd, huh? but they taste so good. Sodas are no longer in my home, nor are any of the bagged 'treats'. Recently, I tasted a Bacardi Rum and Coke. The taste? awful. That satisfied my desire for that old favorite drink. 21 yers ago my dad, my sweet daddy, died quickly of cancer. I began to read from the libraries near to me. 'What to do if you have Cancer', 'What to eat for Diabetes', etc. I learned that one must eat clean foods in order to maintain a clean body. It's really simple. We must desire to be well and eat REAL FOODS. Nothing should be 'processed' or made in test tube. We must read all ingredients on anything that we buy to eat. Lotions, makeup...same thing. organic only. I've learned so much. I keep a great kitchen supply of foods and try to find new and interesting recipes all the time. Library cookbooks are the rage. It's so fun to hold a book in my hands, almost making the prepared recipe come to life. What better way to live? Fun times can be bike riding the paved trails nearby, or riding thru town during a quieter time of day. I've learned that this is so true, "We are what we eat!" Carrie, you are on the right path to good health. It's not about dieting for weight loss or fewer inches, but for ones own good health. The body will soon heal and adjust itself to that smaller size when it's taken care of properly. We're amazing!By the way, your books are in my library and, YES, I've read them. You did such a fine job! Thank you from so many of us.ReplyDeletejoyfulltiredmomOctober 7, 2013 at 10:12 AMI'm confused: you were gluten free while eating Cheetos AND McDonalds??? How?:)ReplyDeleteRepliesCarrieOctober 7, 2013 at 10:16 AMCheetos are gluten-free! And McDonald's scrambled eggs & sausage are also gluten-free! yep! I was definitely gluten-free, just not eating the way I should have been!DeleteReplyaseafishOctober 9, 2013 at 12:31 PMPaleo baked goods are definitely an over-eating trigger for me, too, so I sure get the choice to wait a bit on the baking. As always, I love reading your posts. Good luck to you on this adventure. Thanks for sharing this.ReplyDeleteMelisaOctober 10, 2013 at 2:05 PMYay, good for you! I think I told you once those gluten free pop tarts were an evil thing, LOL. I actually unliked your FB page a while back because it was all about gf baked goods and treats these days and I don't need to see pics of those every day. I still check in here on the blog occasionally, in case there's a "real food" post. I'm so glad you'll be doing less of the bread and dessert stuff. I'll be able to re-like your page! I'm also glad to hear that you are feeling better and taking charge of your health! It isn't easy, I know. We all struggle with it, but we just have to keep making one good choice after another as much as we can.

Thanksgiving Reflection: Serving During the Days of Awe
Lisa Motenko |Nov 21, 2012|Comments
As Thanksgiving approaches in the U.S., we reflect on how Hillel students have given back to their communities. Guest blogger Lisa Motenko is the Program Director at Berkeley Hillel. Here, Lisa shares how Berkeley Hillel students spent the Days of Awe in service.
Last year, Berkeley Hillel decided to challenge our students to think beyond the conventional. It started with a thought: what would it be like to serve others on the holiest day of the year? Yes, you read that correctly. What would it be like to make the bold statement: service is an imperative? It's a holy way to observe Yom Kippur on par with attending traditional Yom Kippur services. So last year, on Yom Kippur morning, ten students and I woke up early, skipped breakfast, and hopped on the train to San Francisco. At St. Anthony's, an organization committed to providing the poor of San Francisco with basic needs and services as a gateway to reclaiming their sense of dignity, in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, we served 2,000 meals to people for whom hunger is a daily reality. While we served, we had the opportunity to talk to clients and exchange stories. We chatted with people who had been in jail and struggled with addiction, and people who went to college just like us. I found myself wanting to claim my Jewish identity and explain that we were serving on this holiday because gemilut chasidim, or acts of loving kindness, are a fundamental value in Jewish thought. Many students considered the day to be the most meaningful Yom Kippur they had ever experienced, and some have gone on to become regular volunteers at St. Anthony's. This year, we wanted to be even bolder and asked - What if, as a collective Jewish community, we volunteered every day between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur? Community service did not yet have its place among the plethora of Jewish experiences that Berkeley Hillel offered during the Days of Awe- so this was going to be a shift. I am always up for a challenge though, especially if it involves more students repairing the world. And we did it! As a community, over 30 Jewish students worked both this year and last at the Berkeley Women's Shelter during these most holy days. We served meals, played with kids, and reflected on why volunteering is an important part of what it means to be Jewish. Together we learned that serving others on these holy days is not just eye-opening and enriching, but it is actually demanded of us. In the Haftarah which is read every year on Yom Kippur, Isaiah begs us to stop going through the motions and fast a meaningful fast. He cries: "This is the fast I desire: To unlock the fetters of wickedness, And untie the cords of the yoke
To let the oppressed go free; To break off every yoke.
It is to share your bread with the hungry, And to take the wretched poor into your home; When you see the naked, to clothe him, And not to ignore your own kin." I am proud to share that at Berkeley Hillel we took Isaiah's words to heart and attempted to do what he asks of us. I believe that this is just the first step, and that our commitment to serving others will grow. My sincerest hope is that in the future "service" and "holy day" will be synonymous.

The company posts another strong earnings report
Nov 2, 2012, 11:13 am EDT | By Tom Taulli, InvestorPlace Writer & IPO Playbook Editor
While other social IPOs like Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA) have been duds, the much less sexy LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) continues to be the winner. The shares are up about 72% year-to-date.
Then again, LinkedIn continues to post strong results, as seen with its latest quarterly report. Revenues rose by 81% to $252 million and earnings came to 22 cents a share. The Street consensus was for revenues of $244.6 million and earnings of 11 cents. And LinkedIn has upped its guidance for the full year to between $939 million and $944 million, up from the prior forecast of $915 million to $925 million.
The main driver continues to be the hiring solutions business, which allows for high-end recruiting of employees. The division saw revenues almost double to $138.4 million. Revenues from premium subscriptions and marketing solutions climbed by 74% and 60%, respectively.
To keep up the momentum, LinkedIn has continued to invest heavily in its product development. The company has launched updates to its mobile apps, redesigned the website and has introduced new features like user endorsements and notifications. These efforts should be helpful in boosting traffic. Keep in mind that there are more than 187 million active users.
But it’s worth noting that LinkedIn’s valuation is still rich, coming to about 900 times earnings. In other words, it may be tough for the stock price to tack on more gains, even though the company continues to grow at a rapid clip.

hide South Dakota State Legislature picking up steam

South Dakota Capital Scott Ecklund (Download MP3)
Pierre, SD (KELO-AM) State lawmakers are picking up the pace in Pierre.
The House has approved a proposed constitutional amendment to extend term limits for lawmakers. The amendment now goes to the State Senate. It would extend term limits from 8 to 12 consecutive years.
The Senate has unamiously passed a shared parenting bill. It contains new guidelines to determine child custody, that supporters say make it better for kids in the ever-changing circumstances of their divorced parents. The bill now goes to the House.
A House Committee has easily passed a bill allowing pre-natal care to pregnant illegal immigrants in South Dakota. Representative Scott Ecklund of the Brandon Area says it is a pro-life bill, not immigration reform of any kind. He says it will help the unborn babies of these mothers and, in the long run, could save South Dakota tens of thousands of dollars in medical costs. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/2665 | {"url": "http://kelo.com/news/articles/2014/feb/06/south-dakota-state-legislature-picking-up-steam/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "kelo.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:18:27Z", "digest": "sha1:SN2WFRCMLANF27ATDO5CBHKBINT7UVMZ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1058, 1058.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1058, 2946.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1058, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1058, 110.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1058, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1058, 323.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1058, 0.31100478]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1058, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1058, 0.05140187]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1058, 0.03738318]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1058, 0.02803738]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1058, 0.02870813]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1058, 0.16267943]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1058, 0.64]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1058, 4.89142857]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1058, 4.47493864]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1058, 175.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.0], [95, 109, 0.0], [109, 159, 0.0], [159, 231, 1.0], [231, 431, 1.0], [431, 682, 1.0], [682, 1058, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.0], [95, 109, 0.0], [109, 159, 0.0], [159, 231, 0.0], [231, 431, 0.0], [431, 682, 0.0], [682, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 53, 8.0], [53, 95, 7.0], [95, 109, 3.0], [109, 159, 7.0], [159, 231, 12.0], [231, 431, 33.0], [431, 682, 40.0], [682, 1058, 65.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.25], [95, 109, 0.0], [109, 159, 0.0212766], [159, 231, 0.0], [231, 431, 0.01530612], [431, 682, 0.0], [682, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 95, 0.0], [95, 109, 0.0], [109, 159, 0.0], [159, 231, 0.0], [231, 431, 0.0], [431, 682, 0.0], [682, 1058, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.0754717], [53, 95, 0.11904762], [95, 109, 0.14285714], [109, 159, 0.16], [159, 231, 0.15277778], [231, 431, 0.03], [431, 682, 0.01992032], [682, 1058, 0.03457447]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1058, 0.56174028]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1058, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1058, 0.39570439]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1058, -52.79938553]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1058, 8.56569529]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1058, -11.351759]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1058, 12.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Western States' Heat Wave Turns Deadly; No Relief In Sight

It was hot Saturday in Sun City, Ariz., and across the Southwest.

(Most recent update: 4:45 p.m. ET.) The brutal heat wave that has Southwest states in its grip is being blamed for at least one death. Saturday in Las Vegas, an elderly man was found dead in his home, which did not have air conditioning, the Las Vegas Sun reports. Paramedics say the heat contributed to his death, a spokesman for Las Vegas Fire and Rescue tells the Sun. For the second consecutive day, the temperature hit 115 degrees Fahrenheit in the city. Now forecasters warn that temperatures, which have also topped 110 in other cities, hit 122 in Palm Springs, Calif., and went even higher in Death Valley, won't be coming down in the next few days. What's worse, they might even go a bit higher. As CNN puts it: "Civic and emergency officials throughout the Southwest say if there was ever a time to worry, this would be it." According to the National Weather Service: "Temperatures will continue to approach or exceed records underneath an expansive upper ridge anchored over the Southwest and Great Basin. Excessive heat warnings remain in effect for a large portion of California ... Nevada ... and Arizona ... where daytime highs will yet again dangerously soar well past the century mark and overnight lows will barely drop into the seventies and eighties. As the ridge begins to build northward late Sunday and into Monday ... triple digit temperatures will expand north through the Intermountain West and all the way to the Canadian border." The Weather Service's latest map shows "excessive heat" alerts in five states: California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. There are slightly less ominous "heat advisories" posted for Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Montana. The Weather Channel adds that "temperatures will continue to soar well into the 110s and even 120s into the new week." Saturday, we wrote about the Weather Service's webpage where it posts updates on the temperature in Death Valley the highest "reliably recorded air temperature on Earth," 134 degrees Fahrenheit, was registered in Death Valley on July 10, 1913). The high there Saturday, according to that chart, was 124 degrees. At 4:10 a.m. local time Sunday (7:10 a.m. ET) the temperature in Death Valley was 105 degrees. That's 5 degrees higher than at the same time Saturday. Update at 4:45 p.m. ET. It's Painful To Walk On The Asphalt: From Death Valley, NPR's Kirk Siegler says it's painful to walk on the pavement (he's wearing sandals). "It feels a bit like somebody is blowing a hair dryer in my face at all times. ... It's hot to the crisp and the sun is absolutely punishing," Kirk tells our Newscast Desk. He's been watching a thermometer that just a few minutes ago was registering 129 degrees. For the record, the National Weather Service's webpage's latest reading was "only" 119 degrees. Also (from our original post): If you need a refresher on tips for how to stay safe when its extremely hot, the Weather Service has them posted here. As we said Saturday, they include: — Stay inside if you have air conditioning. Go to a library, store or cooling center if you don't. — Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks. — Slow down. This isn't a time to be outside exercising. Meanwhile, there's more rain expected Sunday in parts of the Northeast. That could mean more flooding for already soggy parts of New York State and Pennsylvania.Copyright 2013 NPR.

A minor in Latin American Studies enhances the education of students in business, science, and the liberal arts, especially those students working on a Spanish major with teacher licensure or a Spanish minor. Not only does this minor teach students more about the history, culture, language, and society throughout a very important region of the world, Latin America, but this study will prepare students to work and live in the countries of a region that continue to increase in importance. The minor itself requires an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Latin America, providing a broad understanding of the complexity of the region.This program not only enhances the quality of the understanding about the Spanish speaking countries but also the recognition and the study of other peoples throughout the hemisphere such as Portuguese/French/English/Creole-based cultures in the Caribbean and the Portuguese inland Brazil. Along the same line, the LASP sheds light on the exploration of non Spanish-oriented cultures such as the various indigenous and Black communities whose thinking differs from the Western thought. Many of these peoples still maintain their own culture and language, and as a Latin American Studies Program we need to recognize and respect this complexity. The Latin American Studies Program has offered classes in different countries such as Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, Argentina, among others."Lee University's Latin American Studies minor is the perfect complement to a variety of majors. As a Spanish major with a TESOL minor, I have always been interested in the cultures of Latin America. Taking several of the LASP classes really enhanced my understanding of the countries where Spanish is spoken. One semester I took Colonial Latin American Literature as well as History of Modern Latin America. That same semester, I traveled to Mexico City over spring break and visited museums and important historical landmarks. It was so exciting to see Diego Rivera's murals in the national palace that depicted the Spanish/indigenous encounter that I had recently studied! Getting the LASP minor at Lee helped me better understand the history and culture of Latin America so that when I visit, study, or participate in mission work there, I have a greater insight into the worldviews and points of views of its people."--Iris Clement

Hispanic woman challenges Miss Seafair immigration rules

Should a young woman without legal immigration status be allowed to compete for the title of Miss Seafair? The annual summer festival says yes, despite a policy requiring contestants be either U.S. citizens or legal residents.
Tania Santiago, 21, challenged the 63-year history after the Redmond woman took the title of Miss Hispanic Seafair over the weekend, the Seattle Times reports.
It's a big deal, because the winner gets a college scholarship along with the chance to make over 100 appearances around the state.
"I think it's wonderful. I think that Seafair did the right thing," said KIRO Radio's Dave Ross.
While some are likely to complain or criticize Santiago for being an 'illegal immigrant', Ross called that absurd.
"It's really a medieval approach it's like calling children bastards because their parents aren't married."
A Seafair spokeswoman says the immigration policy was put in place because Miss Seafair had to travel internationally in the past to represent the organization. But they haven't done that for some time.
Santiago is a Mexican native who has lived in the U.S. since she was 4. Her parents hope to get legal status this year.
"She's been schooled here in the area, she graduated from high school here, she's attending the University of Washington. The only fault that I can find with her is that she wants to be a lawyer," said guest host Ken Schram in praising the young woman.

Watch Maine
Posted by PZ Myers on August 25, 2009 More »
Maine recently legalized same-sex marriage —hooray and all that, but we don’t get to be complacent about it now. There is a proposition on the ballot for November, Proposition 1, that would revoke marriage equality, and as you might expect, conservative forces are gearing up to promote this bill. Greta Christina has some suggestions for how you can help defeat this hate bill…and explains why you should. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/2939 | {"url": "http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/08/25/watch-maine/?v=iwykvrwvWW4", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "scienceblogs.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:25:52Z", "digest": "sha1:CRPK4INL737HYAQLJVRWUUMXCICTVJQI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 463, 463.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 463, 6817.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 463, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 463, 196.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 463, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 463, 267.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 463, 0.44210526]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 463, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 463, 0.01052632]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 463, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 463, 0.17894737]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 463, 0.86075949]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 463, 4.74683544]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 463, 0.01052632]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 463, 4.16979613]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 463, 79.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 57, 0.0], [57, 463, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 57, 0.0], [57, 463, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 12, 2.0], [12, 57, 10.0], [57, 463, 67.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 57, 0.13953488], [57, 463, 0.00251889]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 57, 0.0], [57, 463, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 12, 0.16666667], [12, 57, 0.13333333], [57, 463, 0.01477833]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 463, -9.66e-06]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 463, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 463, 5.925e-05]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 463, -27.71740752]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 463, -1.70129683]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 463, -43.34124393]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 463, 3.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |

Renewable Energy Future
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory the US could generate 80% of its energy from renewable sources without the need for new technological breakthroughs by 2050.

Imagine selling excess electricity generated from the roof of your business to a local company that aggregates power generated from rooftops all across the city. In turn this company provides power to a regional utility district, which is also connected to a national grid.
Depending upon your type of business, the energy efficiency of the building and the size and capacity of your solar array, sales of electricity could reduce or eliminate the cost of electricity or potentially produce positive revenue.
This scenario could become commonplace in the not too distant future.
(To see a visualization of the shift to renewables throughout the nation go to the NREL website)
Power generated from renewable energy such as water, wind, solar and geothermal could provide up to 80% of the nations electricity by 2050 without the need for any technological breakthroughs according to the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) "Energy Futures Study" report released in mid June 2012.
There are obstacles to overcome such as the management of low demand periods and what to do with excess power.
There are three separate power grids in the United States. One serves the west coast and rocky mountain states, one serves the state of Texas and the third serves the rest of the mid to east coast states. (Hawaii gets their electricity from burning oil and Alaska gets most of its power from hydroelectric dams.)
If the three major power grids were to connect it would increase flexibility. In the spring water flows are high in the Pacific Northwest allowing hydroelectric dams to produce more electricity than in summer dry months. At the same time of year wind farms are also at peak production. A unified grid would allow western states to sell excess electricity to the east coast instead of curtailing production.
In this scenario power production is decentralized, and the unified grid provides stability.
A decentralized power grid would provide additional business opportunities and challenges. How the money flows in a decentralized system is just as important as how the electricity flows. Would we see today's utilities shift away from being a power provider to being an aggregator of power? Would some utilities go out of business or expand?
In any scenario, business owners who have had the foresight to make their operations as efficient as possible will be the best positioned to avoid risk and capitalize on opportunities to generate income from electricity production. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/2954 | {"url": "http://shoreline.patch.com/groups/wendy-dipesos-blog/p/bp--renewable-energy-future", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "shoreline.patch.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:06:17Z", "digest": "sha1:RPYGWTL7F7WQRZ3NLD2A7M6FMW7TVC6P"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2744, 2744.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2744, 7464.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2744, 15.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2744, 182.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2744, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2744, 235.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2744, 0.41649485]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2744, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2744, 0.02653693]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2744, 0.0123839]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2744, 0.02919062]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2744, 0.01030928]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2744, 0.09484536]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2744, 0.49206349]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2744, 5.12698413]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2744, 4.8881671]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2744, 441.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 46, 0.0], [46, 225, 1.0], [225, 238, 0.0], [238, 512, 1.0], [512, 747, 1.0], [747, 817, 1.0], [817, 914, 0.0], [914, 1247, 1.0], [1247, 1358, 1.0], [1358, 1671, 0.0], [1671, 2078, 1.0], [2078, 2171, 1.0], [2171, 2513, 1.0], [2513, 2744, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 46, 0.0], [46, 225, 0.0], [225, 238, 0.0], [238, 512, 0.0], [512, 747, 0.0], [747, 817, 0.0], [817, 914, 0.0], [914, 1247, 0.0], [1247, 1358, 0.0], [1358, 1671, 0.0], [1671, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2171, 0.0], [2171, 2513, 0.0], [2513, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 22, 3.0], [22, 46, 3.0], [46, 225, 27.0], [225, 238, 2.0], [238, 512, 44.0], [512, 747, 37.0], [747, 817, 11.0], [817, 914, 17.0], [914, 1247, 50.0], [1247, 1358, 20.0], [1358, 1671, 55.0], [1671, 2078, 68.0], [2078, 2171, 13.0], [2171, 2513, 55.0], [2513, 2744, 36.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 46, 0.0], [46, 225, 0.03409091], [225, 238, 0.0], [238, 512, 0.0], [512, 747, 0.0], [747, 817, 0.0], [817, 914, 0.0], [914, 1247, 0.03095975], [1247, 1358, 0.0], [1358, 1671, 0.0], [1671, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2171, 0.0], [2171, 2513, 0.0], [2513, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 22, 0.0], [22, 46, 0.0], [46, 225, 0.0], [225, 238, 0.0], [238, 512, 0.0], [512, 747, 0.0], [747, 817, 0.0], [817, 914, 0.0], [914, 1247, 0.0], [1247, 1358, 0.0], [1358, 1671, 0.0], [1671, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2171, 0.0], [2171, 2513, 0.0], [2513, 2744, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 22, 0.18181818], [22, 46, 0.125], [46, 225, 0.03910615], [225, 238, 0.23076923], [238, 512, 0.00729927], [512, 747, 0.00425532], [747, 817, 0.01428571], [817, 914, 0.05154639], [914, 1247, 0.04504505], [1247, 1358, 0.00900901], [1358, 1671, 0.02236422], [1671, 2078, 0.01474201], [2078, 2171, 0.01075269], [2171, 2513, 0.01169591], [2513, 2744, 0.004329]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2744, 0.63564712]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2744, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2744, 0.16218859]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2744, -57.45236312]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2744, 37.61527594]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2744, 32.63118128]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2744, 20.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
Celtics Start Rebuilding, Give Doc Rivers to the Clippers

After weeks of wondering what the future of the Boston Celtics would look like, and the recent on-and-off discussions with the Los Angeles Clippers, the new era of the Celtics begins.
According to multiple sources, including ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan and Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Doc Rivers and the Clippers have agreed to send an unprotected 2015 first round draft pick to the Celtics in exchange for Boston releasing Rivers from the three years remaining on his five-year, $35 million dollar contract. The Clippers will then sign Rivers for an identical three years, $21 million.
This deal is still pending the NBA’s approval, but that will certainly not be an issue. The previous deal the Celtics had with the Clippers involved sending DeAndre Jordan and a future second round pick for Rivers and Kevin Garnett, but that deal was shot down by David Stern.
Danny Ainge originally scheduled a press conference on Friday, but it was quickly postponed until Monday as the Clippers returned to the bargaining table.
This is the first step in the rebuilding process for the Celtics. The rest of the summer should be an interesting one, as the Celtics move forward from an excellent coach after nine seasons that brought a title back to Boston in 2008.
It would not be surprising to hear any rumors of Danny Ainge trying to shop Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce rekindling in the next couple months.
Rivers took time after losing to the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs to decide his future. He knew the writing on the wall that the Celtics were moving forward from the current squad of veterans, and now he will be on his way to L.A. to coach the Clippers.

12-Mar-09: Neighbourhood watch
A small reminder of what it means to be living side by side with a culture - that of the Palestinan Arabs in the era of Hamas and Fatah - that constantly encourages and nurtures acts of personal terrorism.Alert police tonight (Wednesday) here in Jerusalem spotted a terrorist en route to carry out a stabbing. Haaretz says the would-be martyr is a young woman and that, as happens frequently, she confessed her plan on being arrested. She was spotted in Jerusalem's Old City near the entrance to the Temple Mount, with an essential item of religious worship on her body: a kitchen knife like those used in so many previous killings of Israelis. Two police officers patrolling the area spotted her, recovered the knife and took her into custody.Three days ago, on Monday, Israeli police arrested two young Arab men carrying a commando knife in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood of Jerusalem. They too admitted their plan to carry out a stabbing attack on Israelis.Terrorism like these acts rarely gets reported outside Israel. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/3026 | {"url": "http://thisongoingwar.blogspot.com/2009/03/12-mar-09-neighbourhood-watch.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thisongoingwar.blogspot.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:47:19Z", "digest": "sha1:RBAE6DRNM25M5VNJY7KQCNHHN3CE3S22"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1052, 1052.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1052, 19892.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1052, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1052, 660.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1052, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1052, 330.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1052, 0.39320388]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1052, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1052, 0.04454865]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1052, 0.01172333]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1052, 0.02344666]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1052, 0.02579132]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1052, 0.00485437]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1052, 0.13106796]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1052, 0.67052023]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1052, 4.93063584]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1052, 4.52713258]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1052, 173.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1052, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 31, 3.0], [31, 1052, 170.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.14814815], [31, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 1052, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.06451613], [31, 1052, 0.02742409]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1052, 0.90683144]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1052, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1052, 0.09317589]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1052, -11.87471492]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1052, 11.732923]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1052, 6.79302737]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1052, 8.0]], "is_duplicate": false} |
7 Greatest Ever Star Wars References In Pop Culture
by Darragh O'Connor
May the 4th may be gone for another year, but as far as we are concerned, every day is a day to celebrate and embrace all things Star Wars, for obvious reasons based on a neat little pun. So, we’re taking the opportunity to take a look back at some of the best examples of Star Wars references in our popular culture. This list could extend for pages, but in the interest of time I have compiled seven of my favourite picks. Some are longer than others, but all will keep you entertained.
I have omitted overly obvious things like the Star Wars-obsessed film Fanboys, Star Wars: Robot Chicken and the Friends episode “The One With the Princess Leia Fantasy”, which confirms Ross’ fantasy of having Rachel dress up as Princess Leia. I also believe that is the only Star Wars reference in Friends…This is a common one, and it also happens in That 70′s Show, but that still leaves enough references that could fill Hoth to wade through.
Though the Saga is based a long time ago in a Galaxy far far away, Star Wars can even be found referenced during tales of our blue British police box travelling hero, The Doctor and as far back as medieval England or the sand of Egypt. You will be shocked how often you find a Star Wars reference somewhere in the modern entertainment zeitgeist. There is so much overlap it really hits home just how much George Lucas’ most famous creation has impacted us.
So, when watching your favourite TV show or movie, keep an eye out: the creators may be hardcore Star Wars nerds, like me, and they may have sneaked in a small, or not so small, reference to the beloved franchise. Let’s get started…
Honourable Mention - Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
Two other time-travelling phonebox-men have earned themselves an honourable mention, after their impromptu fun when travelling to the Middle Ages. What would you do in their situation? That’s right, you would sword fight! And in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, they did the same thing. We are treated to a terrible – but really fun – bit of dueling from our bodacious leads, a la The Empire Strikes Back.
The dialogue is so cringe-worthy but excellent at the same time. You’ll also notice the Star Wars references in the actual music of this scene. Add to this Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter making Yoda and light-saber sound effects and you have an instant classic. A career highlight for both, I am sure.

Reply Darragh O'Connor says: November 5, 2013 at 2:33 am Spaced and 30 Rock glaring omissions from this list, indeed.
Reply Edan Nissen says: May 8, 2013 at 1:00 pm the clip on the HIMYM page isn’t the Star Wars rant, it’s what Ted says to the future mother of his children
Reply Darragh O'Connor says: May 8, 2013 at 3:33 pm Yeah. In my draft it was the mentioned clip. I have no idea why it was changed to the random clip in the above piece. That one is out of my hands. Also, the random Turkey commercials? I use Adblock plus on my browser, so this is news to me. I recommend downloading this plug in.
Reply budasidehero says: May 8, 2013 at 1:54 pm R2-D2 also briefly appears in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and in the new Star Trek flick. And there’s a Millenium Falcon shaped building in Blade Runner.
Reply Okamido says: May 8, 2013 at 1:58 pm I didn’t want to go to Turkey in the 1st place. now i just look up the videos on youtube instead

About The 90-Second Naturalist:
Thane Maynard is the Director of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. The mission of his work teaching and writing mirrors that of the zoo: to tell the story of biological diversity, natural history, and wildlife conservation to the general public.
Thane is best known as writer and host of numerous wildlife programs, including the daily public radio series The 90-Second Naturalist, which airs on stations across North America. He has also been featured on Good Morning America, Today Show, and CBS This Morning. As a boy growing up in central Florida, he explored the low country swamps in the days before condominiums. From this initial interest in wild places, he went on to receive his B.A degree in environmental studies from Rollins College in his hometown of Winter Park, Florida, and his M.S. degree from the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources. Thane is the author of thirteen books on wildlife. His latest work is the book with Jane Goodall Hope For Animals & Their World, which he co-authored. In addition to his work for the Zoo, Thane is involved in the Cincinnati community as a member of Leadership Cincinnati Class XVII, and as a Trustee for The Hillside Trust. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees for the Margo Marsh Biodiversity Foundation in Washington, D.C.

SCIENCE OBSERVERSerious NonsenseEdward Lear’s natural-history illustration won him scientific credibility. Now his nonsense verse may do the sameAnna Lena Phillips“How pleasant to know Mr. Lear,” begins one of Edward Lear’s poems. His bicentennary last year helped many people know him better, with multiple exhibits of his natural-history paintings and drawings. Lear gained acclaim as an illustrator at age 19 for his work on parrots. Shortly thereafter, The Earl of Derby invited Lear to his estate near Liverpool to make portraits of specimens in his vast collection of exotic animals and plants. “Lear was somewhat lonely at Knowsley Hall,” says Robert Peck, a Lear scholar and senior fellow of Drexel University’s Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. “He was overwhelmed at times by the English social class structure.” To overcome this, he began making drawings and verses for the Earl’s grandchildren. Later he published the verses, but he used a pseudonym for many years. “He was concerned that the frivolous nature of his limericks would undercut his credibility as a scientific illustrator,” Peck says.
Those verses have recently come to seem a bit less frivolous. Margaret Wallace Nilsson, now a Ph.D. candidate in history at Linnaeus University, took up the question of how Lear’s poems might help children learn. “All children like repetitive rhyme sounds,” she says. “I thought, why not apply this to Swedish students of English? It might help them improve their pronunciation and, later on, be able identify new words with the same phonetical patterns.” In a 2011 master’s thesis for the School of Teacher Education at Kristianstad University in Sweden, Nilsson taught a control group of fourth graders a list of vocabulary words taken from Lear’s Nonsense ABC. An experimental group was asked to learn verses from it. “The children in the second group not only learned to recognize the phonetical sounds of the verses, but actually started to spontaneously rhyme other English words,” she says. When tested, students in the second group remembered words from the verses better. Nilsson thinks nonsense poems may help adult language learners as well. And she’s not alone in her interest. In 2012, Juliette Smeed of New Zealand Tertiary College in Auckland published an essay in He Kupu, an early childhood education journal, describing types of nonsense verse and discussing strategies for responding to children’s nonsense play. Lear’s poetry and sketches often employed the scientific knowledge he cultivated for his “serious” work. Peck points to Lear’s “Nonsense Botany” series. “He’s playing with the Linnaean binomial nomenclature, the form of the flower and people’s love of flowers,” Peck says. “He could take this very serious scientific world in which he traveled and turn it literally upside down and make it fun for kids—and for everyone.” If Nilsson and others are right, Lear’s upside-down world may have more to offer than just fun.
Thanks to Harvard University's Houghton Library, we have a slide show featuring Lear's nonsense botanicals and other drawings.

Eurocopter’s participation at the FIDAE International Air and Space Show in Santiago de Chile will underscore its strong presence in Latin America with a competitive range of products perfectly adapted to the growing needs of customers in the region.
Eurocopter is the leader in Latin America with more than 1,200 helicopters in operation, accounting for over 50 percent of the civil and parapublic market. This leadership position highlights the reliability and competitiveness of the Eurocopter’s product range, capable of adapting to the wide array of missions and operating conditions in the region. Eurocopter offers Latin American customers the most extensive range of helicopters to perform a large variety of missions in the region, from offshore and VIP transportation to homeland security and law enforcement.
“We are grateful for the confidence placed in us by civil and military operators in Latin America over the last 30 years,” said Mesrob Karalekian, vice president of Sales and Customer Relations for Latin America. “Eurocopter will continue to invest in the region and expand its range of products and services to keep pace with the growth of its customers.”
Among the helicopters spotlighted on Eurocopter’s exhibit is the EC725, the leading twin-engine 11-ton class helicopter, currently operated by the Brazilian Air Force. The aircraft on show is one of three that have already been delivered to the Brazilian Armed Forces as part of a contract for 50 EC725s to be used for transportation and civil security missions. Eurocopter’s Brazilian subsidiary, Helibras, will soon be inaugurating its new final assembly line for this helicopter in Itajubá. This latest military version of the Super Puma/Cougar family offers next-generation avionics with a 4-axis autopilot and electronic controls that are also available on the Cougar AS532 AL+.
Business aviation, a key segment in Latin America with more than 1,000 Eurocopter helicopters devoted to executive transportation, will be represented by the EC135 light helicopter - also a favorite with parapublic operators - and the AS365 N3 from the famous Dauphin family. Having proved its ability to perform in the most severe climatic conditions, this medium size helicopter is also favored by coast guard and sea rescue services.
The Ecureuil family is also a particularly popular choice in Latin America, with more than 700 of these aircraft currently in service in the region for almost 400 operators. In support of these operators, Eurocopter will hold a special Ecureuil event during FIDAE for some 100 participants on March 29. “Our priority is to support our customers so that they can get the most out of their helicopters and guarantee the highest standards of fleet safety,” said Alexandre Ceccacci, CEO of Eurocopter Cono Sur. “We are also proud to offer them the newest member of the Ecureuil family, the EC130 T2, which was successfully unveiled at this year’s Heli-Expo air show.”
Two aircraft from the Ecureuil family will be performing exhibition flights during the show.
The first is the AS350 B3, capable of performing a wide range of public safety and SAR missions thanks to its durability, speed and excellent visibility. Its unobstructed flat-floor cabin concept and low vibration level allow for the installation of infrared cameras, tactical consoles and other various next-generation equipment.
The single-engine EC130 B4, well appreciated for its reduced maintenance costs and high level of availability, will also take to the skies.
Also spotlighted at FIDAE will be a 1/5 scale model of Eurocopter’s X3 plane-hybrid demonstrator, which combines the excellent vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter with the fast cruise speeds of an airplane. The X³ has flown at speeds of more than 220 kts. confirming how this concept will provide extremely productive solutions to a wide range of missions – including long-distance search and rescue, passenger transportation and offshore operations.
Eurocopter has been present in the Southern Cone region for a decade now and has recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of its local subsidiary, which offers helicopter sales and customizations, fleet maintenance of 270 helicopters and pilot and technician training. The Eurocopter Group also has subsidiaries in Brazil (Helibras) and Mexico (EMSA) and counts more than 900 employees in Latin America.

PROCESS ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES USED IN THE BIOTECH INDUSTRY
Figure 1: Comparison of analyzers with respect to their ease of implementation in microbial fermentations and mammalian cell
culture unit operations for various quality attributes: (a) misincorporation, (b) nutrients, (c) glycosylation, and (d) cell
The demand for real-time and near-real-time monitoring in the past two decades has resulted in significant innovation and
automation in the field of process analyzers. In the following subsections, we briefly review some of the commonly used process
analysis techniques in the biotech industry (5). Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used analyzers for PAT applications. It is based on molecular
overtone and combination vibrations. This analyzer typically utilizes a frequency range of 4000–12,500 cm-1 (800–2500 nm)
to cover overtones and combinations of the lower energy fundamental molecular vibrations that include at least one X–H bond
vibration. The functional groups involved in NIR (almost exclusively) are those involving the hydrogen atom: C-H, N-H, and
O-H. A key advantage that NIR has is the possibility of direct measurement of the sample (6,7) either in situ, or after extraction
of the sample from the process in a fast loop or bypass. The data from NIR measurements require multivariate analysis to extract
the desired chemical information (8). NIR spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis (MVDA) has been successfully used for
screening basal medium powders used in a mammalian cell culture in the biopharmaceutical industry (9) and also for at-line
control and fault analysis of high cell-density fermentations (10). NIR probes also are used in crystallization processes
to detect the particle size, shape, and the polymorphic form. This enables monitoring during routine production and determination
of the crystallization endpoint (11). Figure 2: Comparison of analyzers with respect to their ease of implementation in isolation and purification of biotech products:
(a) removal of cell mass, (b) misfolds, (c) charge variants; and (d) mass variants.
Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a
system (12). A monochromatic light, usually from a laser in the visible, near-infrared, or near-ultraviolet range, interacts
with molecular vibrations and phonons, resulting in the energy of the laser photons being shifted up or down. The shift in
energy gives information about the compound in the system. Samples for analysis can be solids, liquids, gases, or any form
in between, such as slurries, gels, and gas inclusions in solids. The Raman spectrum of water is extremely weak so direct
measurements of aqueous systems are easy to do, giving this technique an advantage compared to infrared spectroscopy in which
water has a very strong absorption. There is no inherent sample size restriction because it is fixed by the optic probe (13).
Measurements can be made noninvasively or in direct contact with the targeted material (14). Applications in biotechnology
processing include the monitoring of moisture content during lyophilization (15). Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy exploits the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei to determine physical and
chemical properties of atoms or the molecules in which they are contained. It can provide detailed information about the structure,
reaction state, dynamics, and chemical environment of molecules which can be an essential tool for PAT (16). Duarte and colleagues
identified and characterized 30 compounds in beer through high resolution (HR)-NMR (17). Two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectroscopy
has been used for metabolic flux analysis of high-density perfusion cultures of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells lines (18).
Bench-top (BT)-NMR has been used in characterization of emulsions and lipid ingredients and monitoring adsorption as a noninvasive
tool in drug delivery research (19). Mass spectrometry (MS) uses the difference in mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ionized atoms or molecules to separate them from
each other. It is useful for quantitation of atoms or molecules and also for determining chemical and structural information
about them. Because of its inherent sensitivity, speed, and molecular selectivity, MS has been used for process analysis,
including in-process monitoring of exhaust gases of fermentation processes, monitoring of drying processes, and environmental
monitoring (20). Other applications include on-line, real-time deuterium abundance measurements in water vapor in aqueous
liquids, including urine and serum (21); real-time quantification of trace gases in food products (22); and obtaining structural
information for identification or structural elucidation of pharmaceutical drug products (23). � Previous12345678Next �

The War We Don’t Have to Fight… Hopefully…
22 veterans a day are committing suicide because they don’t see another alternative – and the war in Afghanistan isn’t even over yet. Just wait until the 9/11 warrior generation has to make sense of being sent to war (while everyone else went to the mall), for two wars that in the end have far too little to show for the sacrifices made.
Our veterans have served mulitple tours over the past decade in conditions most of us would not accept and cannot understand. They went because We the People sent them... Our veterans are not seeking special treatment, but rather the tools for reintegrating into the society they helped defend.
Given the sacrifice of blood and time, 5% of the Lottery seems like a pretty fair deal.
This week a bill that would provide the People of Oregon with an opportunity to vote for securing necessary resources for critical veterans’ services was “dropped.” Soon it will be given a number and sent to a committee.
Mike Francis from the Oregonian explains that the measure seeks to set-aside 5% of the proceeds of the Oregon Lottery (roughly $27 million of the $549 million generated) for education, employment, health care, housing, transportation, and other critical programming for the 330,000 veterans living in neighborhoods (and under bridges) throughout Oregon.
It is a bill that received significant bipartisan support: 41 cosigners in the house, 19 in the senate. And if the bill were to be voted upon today – it would likely pass both chambers.
However, it appears that some may be silently conspiring to kill this measure (and those like it). I hope this is merely a nasty rumor. Evidence of such skullduggery would be easy to identify and track.
It would be manifest in the emergence of a vague narrative targeting the scale, shape, or size of the measure – but not the purpose. Whisper campaigns depend upon staying in the shadows limiting the risk for being identified as an anti-veteran interest.
There are a few legitimate issues with the measure. Some will argue that lottery proceeds should not be used to help veterans because such policy would encourage gambling among an at-risk population. That is a sound argument – for abolishing the lottery. It is a harder task to justify some programs over others – all funded through addiction-building.
Others will argue that veterans should wait – until the economy strengthens for such ambitious efforts. That too is a sound argument if the economy is contracting and budget revenues are being cut. But there is a projected increase in revenues. We have been waiting and we have waited long enough.
Over the past years the veterans’ services agenda has made great progress – but on the edges. Veteran advocates understood the financial quagmire Oregon faced and sought to find solutions that could be implemented through leveraging resources and extraordinary partnerships.
The low hanging fruit is now long gone.
A little over four years ago, Governor Kulongoski’s Task Force on Veterans’ Services identified the needs and potential funding sources associated with a comprehensive approach to programming.
A little over three years ago, we were told to seek alternatives to General Fund resources.
In 2012 we were told that the alternative funding source identified was not an acceptable choice.
This year Governor Kitzhaber has endorsed a plan to offer a veterans’ game within the current Lottery programming. He should be commended for this decision. It could help realize $300,000 to $500,000 for critical needs. However, this first step cannot be the last.
Not so long ago the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs had over 400 employees throughout the State of Oregon, there are less than 100 now. This is a measure of our relative commitment to veterans – during a time of prolonged combat operations overseas. We had more ODVA resources during peacetime…
It must be understood that the proceeds from this measure would not be a “full-employment program” for ODVA but rather apportioned throughout the education, employment, health care, housing, and transportation networks. We have developed robust networks and partnerships that steward resources well – we just need the resources to make these advancements accessible for the veteran community.
After considering the politics I am certain that voters will have the opportunity to secure veterans funding in 2014. I hope the Legislature will pass it to the ballot. If this does not happen because the power brokers in Salem kill it, it will likely be sent to the ballot in 2014 with a larger price – and be passed in no small part because of the intransigence of the leadership in Salem.
This is a fight we do not need; a fight we should not want. The older I get the more I recognize I do not know. But I do know this: I would not want to be the legislator blamed for denying the voters of Oregon an opportunity to secure funding for our returning heroes. It is a fool’s errand with no upside and a lot of downside.
For good or ill, the last few years out of government has taught me a few things. Chief among these lessons is that “inside the building” rationale – doesn’t always play well – outside the hallowed halls of Capitolville. Main Street will not see the $27 million price tag for veterans as an unreasonable amount.
Truth be told, there are some people hoping this measure fails in the Capitol so that a Faustian Choice of “Parks or Veterans” can be offered to the voters – and likely done so with a partisan twist.
As a former mayor, school board member, and current classroom teacher – I get the arguments associated with resources. More than most, I understand the impacts of budgets upon our children, communities, and environment.
That said, with the anticipated uptick in projected revenue, I know it will be a hard sell in 2014 to justify a vote denying veterans services – when we had more money than originally anticipated.
In 2014 we will be ending our experience in Afghanistan, our own troops (just mobilized) will be recently returned, and the 30,000 or more to be cut from the active duty force as a result of the reorganization in the Department of Defense will be struggling through reintegration in our communities and neighborhoods.
We have all become accustomed to the interest groups flexing their respective muscles during April and May – it is time where the halls of Capitolville are flooded with concerned citizens seeking to demonstrate their commitment to the cause. In many ways it is a fun time because citizens from across the state come to participate in their government.
Veterans have already demonstrated their commitment; we carry it with us every day. Over the past several years we have been content to allow the government to do the right thing – when it could. But we still carry the memory of “The Bonus Army” and we are weary.
This April and May could be the beginning of a very different approach to advocacy. Many of us cannot walk as fast as we once could, and our voices may be softer because of age or injury – but veterans know an honorable fight when we see it – and we know we must act now or watch this latest generation of returning veterans be lost.
Good policy is good politics. We should get this bill passed, quickly and use it as an opportunity to unite our community. This bill is a win/win/win anyway you slice it. It will happen and it would make far more sense if people across the aisles could work together to make it proof-positive that the Oregon Legislature has the courage to do what’s right.
The fact is that this bill would impact existing programs funded through the Lottery. In the short-term, beaches, economic development, education, fish & wildlife, and parks would have to share.
But the Lottery was always envisioned as a facilitator for resourcing for the General Fund. It started out as an economic development vehicle. And veterans’ services has a demonstrable $1,000.00 (or more) return on investment for every $1.00 in state spending.
Right now we are in the initial stages of a coming fight that doesn’t have to be fought. There are sufficient numbers of the Legislature that have signed onto the bill that left unmolested, it could pass easily.
The concerns about the bill are appropriate and understandable, but insufficient to cause it to fail. The 5% could always be negotiated (a little), but in the end it is a far better thing for us to do through the Legislature than in spite of it.
For the moment there are at least 333,000 eyes watching what comes next.

Haiti PM promises crucial elections this year
Email To Friend Print VersionBy Joseph Guyler Delva
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (HCNN) -- Haiti’s prime minister pledged on Wednesday that his government will provide the necessary means to the electoral council to facilitate the holding, this year, of legislative and local elections that are crucial for the future of democracy in the Caribbean country.
Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe
During a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Laurent Lamothe reiterated the commitment of his team and President Michel Martelly to democracy and the rule of law, of which regularly organized free, fair and honest elections remain an inescapable corollary.
"The elections will take place this year and my government will provide the means to support the work of the electoral council," said Lamothe, as he presided on Wednesday over the council of government.
"This will allow us to move forward on the path of democracy which this government believes in," he advised.
Many feared the worst in Haiti because of allegations that a major political crisis would result from a failure by the Martelly-Lamothe government to find a political consensus to facilitate the holding of such important elections.
Reports, which eventually proved to be unfounded, about a possible premature departure of ten senators, had also raised the specter of a dysfunctional Parliament that would result from the subsequent dissolution of the senate, which would no longer have the necessary quorum to hold a session.
Martelly has also, during an address on Monday before Parliament, reconfirmed that the ballot will be held this year to elect one-third of the 30-member Senate and hundreds of entities of local governance.
The election date will be announced soon by the electoral council, tasked with organizing the vote. Consultations are underway between electoral authorities and various political actors and civil society groups in order to reach a consensus on the electoral calendar and other important steps in the election process.

Shall We Call It An Empire?
Joel H. Rosenthal
The projection of American power inspires the great debate of our time. Is the United States a twenty-first century empire, and if so, what kind? If “empire” is not the right term, what is? The debate arises from simple observation. American military might has turned from quick, lethal regime change in Afghanistan and Iraq to the long-term responsibilities of nation-building. American economic and political muscle has created and maintained an integrated world economy and the political institutions that support it. America’s soft power – its culture and values – continues to radiate outward through its strengths in popular culture, higher education, and technological innovation. New political alliances and commercial networks have been forged and old ones have become strained as the United States uses its multidimensional influence to shape the pattern of global politics. Many people object to the notion of the United States as an imperial power. Their objections range from the pejorative connotations of the term – conjuring up images of subordination and exploitation – to discomfort with the idea of applying this concept to a nation that was originally founded in opposition to imperial rule. As U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld famously told al-Jazeera, “We don’t do empire.” For others, however, the notion of empire as conventionally conceived is apt. It accounts for a nation that is now so powerful it no longer has to care about its reputation with other states, acting in ways that some consider selfish and destabilizing.
However one sees the United States — as a relatively benevolent superpower or as a “rogue" hyper-power – we inevitably return to the fact that it occupies an unrivaled position in the world today, a point driven home by its willingness to act with such alacrity and self-assurance in Iraq. As Jedediah Purdy puts it in his book, Being America (2003), “There is no need to admire or accept this characterization of American power, but there is no escaping the need to understand it. . . . The idea of American empire is part of the world’s landscape, as familiar elsewhere as it is alien to Americans.” Moreover, in avoiding the “empire” question, we avoid pondering the moral responsibilities such far-reaching power entails. In his book Empire, Niall Ferguson points to the positive legacy of British imperialism, in particular the propagation of liberal values that are now enshrined within civic institutions such as courts and schools. Does American empire aspire to the liberal model, enhancing security and prosperity for all rather than achieving territorial conquest – or is it attempting something rather different? The exercise of power raises high emotion and concern, and rightly so. But it should also set into motion thoughtful reflection. The Carnegie Council will provide the space for this approach throughout the coming year, beginning with a special section on empire in Ethics & International Affairs, with articles by Jedediah Purdy and others, as well as a September Merrill House breakfast with Niall Ferguson. Let the debate begin.
