MIAMI (CBS4) – Do you hate lines as much as I do?
According to some estimates, an average American who lives to 70 wastes about three years waiting!
But that's the average American, not the types who camped out this morning for the grand opening of the new H & M store on Miami Beach.
Really? Camping out to get into a clothing store?
We've gotten used to people who spend days in line to get their hands on whatever new product Apple comes out with, but that doesn't make it any less crazy.
The worst are the lines we didn't ask for.
We now know we have some of the most dedicated voters in the country in Miami-Dade County because some waited more than six hours to vote, thanks to the ridiculous incompetence of our elections officials.
Patience is a virtue, never tested more than in what I think are the most annoying lines of all: at port-o-potties at sporting events and concerts.
You wait forever and the prize is getting a little time by yourself in a port-o-potty… whoop ti doo.
At least when you wait in line at the Apple Store, you come out with an iPhone.

Hello Honey Bee friends!! It's Brenda here with you today!!! We are celebrating Honey Bee's 3rd birthday all week!!! Be sure to check out the Birthday Sale section on the website today and tomorrow for special birthday savings!!
I have several relatives and friends of the family who are currently in the throes of finals in anticipation of the end of the school year. This "Hang In There" card was created to encourage them during this crazy, stressful time. This one was created with particular school colors in mind. It could also be used to bring a little cheer to anyone who is going through a difficult time.
I began by stamping the balloons and strings from Penny the Platypus onto white cardstock with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink, coloring them with Copic markers, then cutting them out with the Coordinating Dies. One of the bunnies from Blah Humbunny was stamped and colored in the same way, before cutting with its Coordinating Die. The die-cut stings and balloons were adhered to a panel of gray cardstock that was cut slightly smaller than an A2 card base, trimming away the pieces that hung over the edges before adhering it to the card base. The sentiment; from Blah, Blah, Blah; was stamped onto a strip of red cardstock and adhered to the bottom of the gray panel. The die-cut bunny was adhered with foam adhesive for a little dimension. A white gel pen was used to add a highlight onto each the balloons. Finally, a few sequins from the Indian Summer Mix finish off the card.
Thanks for stopping by today!!!
I am off to re-create this in other school colors…

Cardiologist explores the causes of heart attacks during free event in Chelmsford
Consultant cardiologist and Anglia Ruskin honorary Senior Lecturer Dr Gerald Clesham will discuss heart health and why heart attacks happen during a free event on Monday, 20 March at 7.30pm.
Coronary heart disease is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year and is common in both men and women. Fatty deposits may develop in the arteries that supply the heart, and blood clots can trigger a heart attack.
Dr Clesham said:
This event, at Anglia Ruskin's Chelmsford campus, will allow people to find out more about how the heart works, the danger signs to look for, and how to keep their heart healthy.
Dr Clesham is a consultant cardiologist and clinical director at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford. He is also head of clinical governance at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre in Basildon.
The talk, which takes place from 7.30pm until 8.30pm, will be followed by a 20-minute question and answer session. The event is free, but booking is essential. Visit the event page for more details, or e-mail email@example.com.

Borax Crystal Snowflakes
So...it's time to start hunting down winter snow crafts. There really are a lot of amazing ones out there (maybe because people are indoors, trying to chase away the post-holiday blues??)
This borax crystal snowflake craft is really worth doing if you've never done it before. I had seen it around the internet on several blogs, but pictures don't really do justice to the beautiful, dramatic results.
Mason jar
A pencil
Borax (in the laundry section of the grocery store)
Boiling Water
Blue pipe cleaners
1. Cut 2 pipe cleaners into small pieces and fashion into a snowflake shape by twisting the pieces around one another.
2. Fill a mason jar with boiling water and dump in some borax. (Directions I've read say 3 Tablespoons per one cup of water, but it's really not fussy at all).
4. Tie a string on the pipe cleaner snowflake. On the other end of the string tie a pencil (to keep the snowflake from falling to the bottom of the jar)
5. Dip snowflake in the mason jar, making sure it does not touch the bottom or sides of the jar. Wait for two or three hours and pull out your pretty snowflake!
If your children are old enough you can use this craft to illustrate the science of supersaturation. If they are little tots like mine, they'll just enjoy helping to stir the borax mixture and then admiring the way the sun shines through the crystals at the end. (They look really nice hung on windows!)

I had done this years ago, but had forgotten about it! With no snow this winter and bummed out kids, this will be perfect. So pretty. Thanks!

Wow, great post. Those borax snowflakes must of glissened just great in the window.

Must Love Dogs Gary David Goldberg
Published Feb 01, 2006This is the sort of movie that gives romantic comedies a bad name. Look, we don't expect films like this to offer a razor-sharp analysis of the current political climate, or to push new boundaries in cinematography, or to instil in us a renewed resolve to work for social justice. No, all we need are cute leads, dressed fashionably, meeting and mating with sparkly dialogue and overcoming just enough setbacks so we will genuinely tear up when they finally do make it all work. This should ideally happen at Christmas. Despite the best efforts of an excellent cast (John Cusack, Diane Lane, Dermot Mulroney, Stockard Channing, Christopher Plummer, and Elizabeth Perkins), Must Love Dogs is utterly disappointing. Jake (Cusack) and Sarah (Lane) meet when they reluctantly try online dating services and after a few awkward dates realise that they are good for each other. There are a few complications (Mulroney), but eventually they figure it out. Really, there's not much of a story at all. Oddly enough, it's not even about dogs; with a title like this, you would think that loving dogs would be a cutesy complication (he loves 'em, she doesn't, or both pretend to and neither does) that would lead to hilarious "dating with dogs" misadventures. But no, they both like dogs fine; they just don't really love them. In fact, they're both pretty ambivalent about dogs an ambivalence we can empathise with as we watch this lukewarm film. There is one good thing about this movie: Diane Lane is 40, John Cusack is not yet 39, and yet she does not play a cougar or Cusack's mother or some biological clock-watcher. They are just a pair of adults. If only the movie were as sophisticated or original as this one fluke of casting. Plus: a gag reel with only two outtakes, and some additional scenes. (Warner)

WASHINGTON — The work permits that young illegal immigrants can begin applying for next week under a new government policy will let American employers tap a generation of educated workers who have been confined until now to the shadowy corners of the economy, experts on immigration policy say.
One of those could be Juan Escalante, a 23-year-old Venezuelan who has been in the country illegally since age 11 and is among those enthusiastic about the new opportunity. Not long ago, Mr. Escalante said, he feared that he might spend the rest of his life working as an assistant manager in an ice cream shop despite earning a bachelor's degree in political science and international affairs at Florida State University.
Getting a work permit "would be amazing," he said, allowing him to look for work on Capitol Hill "to see how policy is driven" and to save enough money to help him pursue a master's degree in public policy.
With the Obama administration about to put its new program in place, the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan group here in Washington, says that 140,000 illegal immigrants in this country are enrolled in college. An additional 80,000 already have college degrees — about 48 percent from two-year programs, 43 percent from four-year programs and 8 percent from graduate school.
Steven Raphael, a professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley, said many of the young people eligible for the program, which will start accepting applications on Wednesday, were now limited to jobs that do not require proof of citizenship or a work permit. They often have service jobs that pay cash, either in wages or tips, working as restaurant staff members, landscapers, home cleaners, baby sitters or dog walkers. Others start their own businesses off the books.
Roberto G. Gonzales, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, said the policy could provide some relief for a small number of the estimated 11.5 million illegal immigrants in the United States, and help solve a problem of "wasted talent."
In a decade of doing research about illegal immigrants, Professor Gonzales said he had come face to face with college-educated young people limited to low-skilled jobs. Many had training to work in fields like mechanical engineering, health care, education and law. The new policy could allow them to apply for jobs closer to their career aspirations, he said, as well as motivate high school dropouts to "rejoin the mainstream."
Still, like many other people who advocate for a broader change in immigration policy, he said the policy announced by President Obama in June fell short of the ideal. Professor Gonzales likened it to "a kind of second-class citizenship" and a "legal limbo where status can change overnight with a change of administration, or with expiration of deferment or work permit."
Opponents of the policy argue that it is ill-timed, given a dismal job market that is especially grim for Americans under 30 who do not have college degrees. Talk of harvesting "wasted talent" is "just sugar to make the poison go down," said William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, a political action committee. Mr. Obama is harming American workers by "placing more illegal immigrants up against them as competitors," he said.
Those criticisms do not diminish the excitement of young people like Claudia Jimenez, of Florida, who finished high school last year. Asked what she has been doing since, Ms. Jimenez, a 19-year-old native of Venezuela who has been in this country since 2001, laughed uneasily and said she had not been doing anything.
"Now I have something," said Ms. Jimenez, who sees a work permit and employment as the first steps toward enrolling in college. "I can actually do something with my life. Before it was like my life was on pause."
The Migration Policy Institute says that about 800,000 illegal immigrants are enrolled in American schools from kindergarten through the 12th grade, and 500,000 of them are under the age of 15. About 350,000 young illegal immigrants 16 and older have no high school diploma or equivalent credential and are not enrolled to get either.
Clarissa Martinez of the National Council of La Raza, a civil rights organization, said: "Many people might have thought, 'What's the point; I can be deported any time. I'll find a job in the meantime.' It's a net positive because the high likelihood was that they would have continued to live in and be part of the community anyway."
Having a work permit could also help unauthorized immigrants whose dreams of college are thwarted because they cannot afford to pay tuition with the low-income jobs that they can get now. And if they do manage to get into college, they cannot do work-study jobs, paid internships or clinical training programs built into degree programs. They are typically not eligible for in-state tuition at state universities. Laws also block them from federal grants and loans for college.
The personal dream of Maria Marroquin, a 25-year-old from Peru who has been in this country illegally since age 13, is to enroll in law school and become an immigration lawyer — a goal that had seemed impossible given the cost of tuition. This fall she will start her senior year at Dominican University, in Chicago's northwest suburbs. So far, she has paid for her education by working baby-sitting and domestic jobs. She also has received aid that Dominican University sets aside for illegal immigrants — a rarity in higher education.
"If I do get a work permit it will definitely help me because I'd be able to work and either save money to go to law school or work while I go to school," said Ms. Marroquin, who volunteers for Dream Activist, a youth advocacy organization. "It might not help me pay for all of it, but it will definitely help me pay for some."
Work permits will also serve as proof of legal residence, allowing young immigrants to get driver's licenses — an immediate benefit because they can look for jobs in places where public transportation is not available. They can also get Social Security numbers. When Mr. Obama first announced the new policy, owners of small businesses praised the change, saying it would make it easier for them to comply with laws requiring them to check the legal status of employees.
Angy Rivera, a 21-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia who has been here since she was 3, is waiting to see the program in action before deciding what to do. "I kind of feel like I'm in a zombie mode," she said. Ms. Rivera, who lives in Queens and is a part-time student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said she was initially indifferent about Mr. Obama's policy. But when Ms. Rivera, who writes an advice blog for young immigrants, spoke with other young people, she began to change her mind.
"Those who have been close to giving up, who have worked for nothing or been mistreated in their jobs, those who stopped believing in the American government's promise of equality for all, may start to see some ray of sunshine," she said

45 Dead as Protesters Rally across Syria and Annan Urges Instant Ceasefireإقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Deadly clashes raged and anti-regime protesters rallied across Syria on Friday to denounce the Arab League's inaction in the face of a bloody crackdown on dissent after the annual Arab Summit only urged dialogue to resolve the crisis, as U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan urged the regime to immediately implement a ceasefire.
The Local Coordination Committees, the main activist group spurring protests on the ground, said security forces killed 45 people across the country: nine in Daraa, 14 in Deir al-Zour, three in Aleppo, 12 in Homs, four in Idlib, two in Damascus and one in Hama.
"The desertion of the Arabs and the silence of the Muslims are the hardest things facing Syrians," read a sign held up at a protest by hundreds of people in Kafaroma, in Idlib province in the northwest.
Protesters took to the streets despite a fierce assault on the Idlib town of Maaret al-Numan by security forces bidding to crush the year-old revolt against President Bashar al-Assad, monitors said.
"We will resist to the last drop of blood" and "Syria is bleeding," said other placards held up by protesters at Irbin, near Damascus, as seen in an activist video posted online.
Internet-based activist group The Syrian Revolution 2011, one of the main motors of the uprising, called for people to take to the streets after the main weekly Muslim prayers on Friday to protest against the Arab world's inaction.
"The Muslims and the Arabs have abandoned us ... but God is with us ... and our determination will carry us to victory," the group said on its Facebook page.
An Arab summit in Baghdad on Thursday, largely ignored by Gulf states, approved a resolution calling for an end to the Syrian regime's crackdown on dissent, for the opposition to unite and for parties to the conflict to launch a "serious national dialogue."
The opposition had urged a harsher statement backing hardliners Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who have called for Assad to step down and for rebels opposing his regime to be supplied with arms.
But Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said that giving weapons to either side "will lead to a regional and international proxy war in Syria."
In Damascus, dozens of people rallied in the neighborhood of Kfar Sousa, braving the strong presence of security forces who shot at one group of demonstrators.
Protests were also held in the Damascus suburbs of Al-Hajar al-Aswad and Douma, where worshippers emerged from around a dozen mosques, reported activist Mohammed Saeed, who added that regime forces opened fire to disperse them.
Hundreds of people marched through the eastern city of Deir al-Zour, while protesters in the second-largest city of Aleppo chanted: "O God, we have only you to help us."
Activists in Syria have for more than a year staged anti-regime protests each Friday after the main Muslim prayers. They have been violently put down by Assad's forces.
The United Nations says more than 9,000 people have died in the revolt, which many fear has brought Syria to the verge of civil war.
On Thursday, activists blocked a street and burned tires in the al-Aassali neighborhood of Damascus to protest the "failure of the Arab League," according to a video posted on the Internet.
Meanwhile, U.N.-Arab League peace envoy Annan urged Syria's President Bashar al-Assad to immediately implement a ceasefire.
Annan's ceasefire appeal came as monitors said shells rained down on Homs, a main rebel bastion which has been the focus of much of the regime's year-long crackdown on protests.
"We expect him to implement this plan immediately. Clearly we have not seen a cessation of hostilities on the ground. This is our great concern," Annan's spokesman said in Geneva, adding the "deadline is now" for Assad's regime to end all violence.
The plan calls for a commitment to stop all armed violence, a daily two-hour humanitarian ceasefire, media access to all areas affected by the fighting, an inclusive Syrian-led political process, a right to demonstrate, and release of arbitrarily detained people.
"I can't tell you what the next steps will be if they don't stop now," Annan's spokesman said, adding however that Annan was due to brief the U.N. Security Council on Monday and "we will take it from there."
Annan is also working to convince the Syrian opposition to "lay down their arms and start talking," he said.
State-run news agency SANA said on Thursday that "President Assad... has informed Annan that Syria approves the plan (the envoy) submitted but had made remarks about it."
Assad said he would "spare no effort" for the success of Annan's six-point plan but added that the proposal would only work if "terrorist acts" by foreign powers stopped.
On the ground, a sniper shot dead a civilian in Homs' Khaldiyeh district, and two others were killed when their car was fired upon elsewhere in the province of Homs, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Security forces set alight four houses during raids in Jarjanaz, near the town of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib province, where a sniper killed a 45-year-old civilian, it added.
At Irbin, near Damascus, a soldier was killed in an attack on a military checkpoint.
Fierce fighting was also reported in the provinces of Hama, in central Syria, and Deir al-Zour in the east, said the LCC.
In Saudi Arabia, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was holding talks with Saudi King Abdullah on Friday in a bid to crank up pressure on Assad.
She is due to attend a meeting of the "Friends of Syria" group on Sunday.
"The main objective of this conference is to increase the pressure on the Syrian regime to end the bloody repression," a Turkish official said.
Turkey, Syria's northern neighbor, has been a vocal critic of Assad's deadly crackdown.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on a visit to Tehran that Syria should heed the will of its people by implementing political reforms and allowing free elections.
"The Syrian regime should be receptive to the will of its people, who want elections and democracy," the Turkish leader said, according to an interview aired on Iranian state television late Thursday.
"If (President) Bashar al-Assad is not afraid, and is confident about his regime, he should allow the formation of new (political) parties," Erdogan said.
Assad's Baath party controls political life in Syria, which many fear is on the verge of civil war.
the moment where the russians and the chinese will start really shifting their attitude towards this failed regime is getting closer.
soon they will side with the syrian people and appear like saviors, then push this regime to get out. :)
Morgan Freeman there is after something that is not there. Assad will NEVER act on Annan's proprosal. Assad even said that he wants a "comprehensive approach" that will include "drying up the areas where the terrorists are coming from". Well, that is the justification for using tank fire on civilian populations in Homs, Idlib, which is the Assad Plan.
Nothing will stop this guy except anti-tank fire and surface to air missiles.
The Russians kept you toothless for a reason Annan. He won't stop and you can't make him. He is a killer on a rampage.
If they request a stop to all armed violence, why do they need a 2 hours humanitarian ceasefire a day?
youssefhaddad yes your right, they dont want ultimatums.
geha - have you gone mad? The majority of the Syrian people prefer assad!
beiruti, is it wrong for assad to want the united nations actually side by side in the planning of the stratagy ? i think its a good idea - infact the only people that will say its bad are the people that DONT want accountibility!

1984, Donald J Trump, George Orwell, Governance, Media, Michael Flynn, Political issues, Social media, Trump adminstration, Truthfulness, US Politics
I'm not a great student of politics, but I do love language. What the new US administration has done for language is something quite extraordinary and we must embrace that we are living in such times.
Not telling the truth is now a linguistic art form. In less than a month, we have had some gems.
KellyAnne Conway gave us 'alternative facts', when the Counselor to President Trump,
appeared in late January on NBC's "Meet the Press" with Chuck Todd and uttered the now famour (or imfamous) phrase "alternative facts" when pressed about the falsehoods uttered the previous day by White House press secretary Sean Spicer regarding the crowd size at Trump's inauguration. Do we need to explore the oxymoronic properties of this phrase? I thought not. Anderson Cooper, clearly could not contain himself:
But, such terms have spawned counters that embrace it. Last night, I overheard a CNN commentator, talking to Anderson Cooper, who gave us 'fact-free statements', referring to utterances from the White House.
Hours later, the administration lost its first Cabinet member, when National Security Advisor Michael Flynn resigned,
after telling Michael Pence some huge pork pies about his conversations with the Russian Ambassador, and lifting of sanctions on Russian, which for a while he'd been reportedly been unable to recall.
In his resignation letter, Flynn gave us "I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information". This stands tall, compared to 'being economical with the truth'.
If you've never read '1984', I suggest you do so before the week is out.

Thursday Thoughts…
As a person who loves and collects quotes, I'm going to start a regular posting of my favorite quotations, or new ones I've come by and which struck a chord with me somehow.
Today's quote comes from mathematician John Allen Paulos, and deals with a topic I cover quite a bit in my motivational keynote presentations:
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.
– John Allen Paulos –
How are you dealing with the certainty of inherent uncertainty?
And, just because, I'm going to share another new-favorite quote from the late, great Frank Zappa (I just shared this on Facebook as well). Apparently it was during an interview with the conservative host John Pine; immediately after Pine seated Zappa, he said: You have long hair…you must be a girl. Zappa immediately replied: You have a wooden leg (Pine did)…you must be a table. Aah, to have such a quick mind!

Hear from visitors to Teach Girls
Teach Girls is a unique not for profit organisation founded in 2014. It envisions community building through empowering underprivileged girls. We aim to give a platform to the economically and socially opressed girls who have been subjugated to a lack of intellectual nourishment. Female education has always been a highly disregaded subject matter in our country, TG gives these girls a fair chance and platform to complete their primary and secondary education. We are passionately driven towards bridging the gap women and their male counterparts. TG is a small team of dedicated volunteers solely committed to the cause.
This project is girl centric where we start with a bridging curricullum to fill the gap of the years, the girl could not attend school. Our prime focus earlier was dropout/earlywed/uneducated girls, but on receiving immense response from older women, we have given equal weightage by starting a literacy drive for them. This is a simple project where spreading awareness and taking action happens simultaneously.
We have started a concept of Homeschooling, a school within the community, acessible and available for all who are poor,have safety issues, financial instability and lack of awareness. We have received great support by the slum communities here and they are happy and willing to learn and resume their studies. Our main aim is to support them and help them grow in their lives.
After they complete their bridging course, they are going to appear for a test, a post test(Pre-Test had been conducted in the start of this project) , where they would be evaluated on their learning/writing/speaking ability and competency level. Once they clear, they will be enrolled to either regular or openschooling. If they do not clear the exam, they would repeat the entire procedure and remedial teaching and assistance will be given for help in completing the course.
We believe in imparting quality education, as gaining knowledge is the key to success and not merely passing the exam. We want to bring into practise the concept of 'educational cloning', where every girl should get a fair opportunity to learn and grow and not a single girl is left uneducated because of any reason or excuse. Lets join hands in turning their fear into courage and lets change their vulnerability into aid.

Warwickshire Police are trying to trace a cyclist who was involved in a collision with a 71-year-old woman, who later died of her injuries.
The incident took place in Bush Heath Lane, Harbury on November 19 at around 12.30pm, but was only reported to the police three days later.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
The cyclist reportedly collided with the woman as she was walking with a family member. The woman suffered serious head injuries, and was airlifted to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire. She later died of her injuries.
Warwickshire Police say that the cyclist assisted at the scene until the air ambulance arrived, but then left without giving any details.
>>> Cyclists in London can now report dangerous driving online
In addition to seeking the cyclist, police are also appealing for witnesses to the incident.
"Officers investigating the incident would like to speak to him and anyone else who was in Bush Heath Lane at the time and might have important information," said a Warwickshire Police statement.
"Bush Heath Lane, which runs between Harbury and Bishops Itchington, is popular with walkers and cyclists so it is likely that there were other people around."
Anyone with information can contact Warwickshire Police by telephoning 101, quoting incident 103 of 22 November.

College accreditors bar many from meeting
The private accrediting commission that will announce the fate of City College of San Francisco made no friends Friday when it barred dozens of people from attending the public portion of its three-day meeting at a Burlingame hotel.
It wasn't quite the security of Fort Knox. But police, metal barricades and plenty of uniformed guards surrounded the meeting room at the Marriott and let just 20 people in - most there to address the commission on subjects having nothing to do with City College.
Among the two dozen or so kept out were faculty and students not only from City College, but also from campuses statewide who hoped to show solidarity for the vast college's yearlong struggle to remain accredited.
"It's really outrageous," said Lalo Gonzalez, a City College student who was turned away. "How are they going to discuss policies about City College without input from students?"
Also barred were a Chronicle news reporter who had confirmed a seat, a Chronicle photographer and a Univision TV cameraman.
It's not that those who were shut out missed any substantive votes by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. Its public agenda included only a mind-numbing list of policy discussions rather than anything about the fate of any college. And the commission had already decided City College's fate and that of 44 other schools, none of which will be revealed for a month.
So why the heavyweight security?
No one answered the commission's phone Friday. But the commission - which isn't subject to open-government laws - no doubt wanted to minimize contact with critics.
Faculty and students have been boisterously opposed to the commission since July, when it ordered City College to transform itself or lose accreditation and be forced to close.
Compliance has meant layoffs, pay cuts and a college reorganization that has angered employees. More broadly, faculty statewide claim the commission is far stricter than the nation's other accrediting commissions, and that it lacks a human touch.
Friday's actions only fueled that point of view.
"This is such an important public meeting, and not to allow the public in is discouraging," said Adam Wetsman, president of the Academic Senate at Rio Hondo College near Los Angeles.
Chris Vancil of the Community College Association, who was barred, said the private commission is nevertheless funded by taxpayer dollars through dues paid by colleges. "So it's disappointing that tax-paying citizens can't get in to express our opinions," he said.
The commission also barred members of the press, though a student reporter was allowed in.
"The press should always be accommodated because it's passing the information on to a large number of people," said Bob Stern, president of the Center for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles, who was not at the meeting. "I don't think they were violating any rule. But when the decision involves a public college, and the public is interested, you want to do everything you can to accommodate the public.
"In a sense, the media is the public's representative."
-- Here is a 15-minute excerpt of testimony from Friday's meeting of the accrediting commission that is deciding the fate of City College of San Francisco. Many people were barred from the meeting, but freelance reporter Joe Fitzgerald was there and recorded Teeka James, president of the American Federation of Teachers, addressing the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. https://soundcloud.com/fitzthereporter/2013-06-07-01-35-2

If you are looking for a therapy to really knock your socks off and bring about the dramatic lifestyle changes you have been searching for, then look no further! ThetaHealing™ is a highly effective and powerful alternative to traditional counselling.
What is ThetaHealing™?
ThetaHealing™ is an extremely powerful emotional healing therapy, focused on breaking and releasing negative thought processes and attachments to traumatic events. It was founded by Vianna Stibal in 1995 and its name has been solely derived from the use of the Theta Brainwave cycle, a very deep and relaxed state our brain goes into before we fall asleep. This area of the brain houses all of our memories and belief systems from childhood to the present day. It is said to be where our subconscious resides.
Our subconscious, according to Neuroscience, "controls 95 per cent of our lives." To quote the Leading Edge scientist, Dr Bruce Lipton, "Just like a single cell, the character of our lives is determined not by our genes but by our responses to the environmental signals."
Our early childhood years are crucial to our wellbeing and development, how we perceive relationships and how we respond to social interactions. This is also a time where feelings of rejection, being abused or not performing so well at school, can have a profound impact on how we grow into adulthood. Each experience forms a layer in our subconscious, a very sensitive and deep area of our mind and as a result, we form a multitude of unhealthy and distorted belief patterns to traumatic events. The young mind is akin to a computer downloading various programs, which become imprints on our personality and behaviour.
This buildup of toxic emotions is stored in your body and mind which can become exacerbated furthermore, resulting in emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and anger.
How does ThetaHealing™ work?
One-to-one sessions are conducted in a calm and supportive environment whereby the practitioner connects to your Theta brainwave by way of meditation. Because ThetaHealing™ is an energy healing modality, the client gives the practitioner permission to access their energy field and, by natural intuition, the memories are accessed through the subconscious. Rather than simply shifting blocked energy in the body, this therapy zones in on traumatic events that have been suppressed. You do not relive frightening experiences but rather identify the root cause of trauma and the distorted belief systems and emotional attachments you have held onto for so long. All that we observe and form opinions on, holds energy and therefore, the more intense and negative experiences you have had, the unhealthier the emotion attached. This, in turn, can manifest itself into physical ailments creating a general feeling of malaise or more serious illnesses.
What is the ThetaHealing™ technique?
Sessions can be conducted as face to face or they can be accessed via Skype. As this is energy work, the client does not need to be physically present in the same room as the practitioner. At a face to face session, the client and practitioner sit opposite each other, as if you were talking to a counsellor. The therapist will ask for your permission to begin and, if you are comfortable with it, they would hold one or both of your hands, merely as a form of comfort and support. You will both close your eyes as the practitioner connects to your energy and Theta brainwave. This is a time for you to really relax and allow yourself to experience an extremely deep healing. You will need to ensure you are fully hydrated prior to the session as Kinesiology (muscle testing) will be applied, to establish the beliefs
that are arising, during the session. The practitioner does this to show you the negative beliefs you are holding onto and then once they are released, this shows you that they have gone. The practitioner will ask you if you are ready to "let go" of these traumatic attachments by way of releasing the energy through meditation. The mind is then "reprogrammed" with more realistic and positive thoughts and feelings. As this is a purely subconscious based therapy, very deep healing occurs on this level and many clients have reported dramatic emotional changes, helping them to become more confident, successful and able to find their true joy in life again. This therapy combines meditation, energy work and talking.
Benefits of ThetaHealing™
Excellent for helping you to overcome a multitude of emotional challenges such as trauma from sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, divorce, bereavement, addictions and much more!
What makes ThetaHealing™ stand out from the crowd?
ThetaHealing™ is more than just a "talking" therapy or an energy therapy because rather than simply talking about how we feel a certain way, ThetaHealing™ focuses on addressing the source of trauma/distress that you wouldn't necessarily be aware of as many memories are suppressed in the subconscious. Rather than dwelling on negative events, ThetaHealing™ sessions are focused on providing a positive outcome by acknowledging challenging experiences for what they are and then letting go of painful attachments such as anger, resentment, fear and abandonment in order to set yourself emotionally free. ThetaHealing™ is truly unique as it can help you to break toxic behavioural patterns attributed to unhealthy relationships, anxiety and a lack of confidence. By releasing such heavy energy and the burdens it places on you mentally and physically, you are able to feel instantly lighter and renewed after the first session. Unlike traditional counselling, an average of 3 ThetaHealing™ sessions can help clients to feel lifted, joyful and confident to start making the necessary lifestyle changes, in line with their own needs and desires.
About the Author
Author: Liz Alexander
I studied English Literature and Linguistics at University and found myself immersed in the corporate world of finance in London. After 5 years of working an extremely fast paced and stressful lifestyle, anxiety got the better of me and I realised that a drastic change was in order. I found out about ThetaHealing™ and my life changed dramatically within a year of starting sessions. I was faced with difficult choices that would ultimately lead me to the "utopia" I was looking for, simply put, to wake up feeling excited about my day rather than sheer dread. I embarked on a massive career change to become a ThetaHealing™ practitioner with my own business, with the sole purpose of helping as many people as possible to find their true joy and happiness in life again! My philosophy is that whilst life may throw us a few challenges, we all have the potential to be lucky enough to find our soul mate, dream career or to be anxiety free, we just have to take the plunge and address the things that need to change! My aim is to show people that therapy can be invigorating and life changing, rather than a daunting and negative experience.

Now, there's the Justified I love. With the unsatisfying saga of Randall and Lindsey behind us, the show gets back to the good stuff — and then some — in "Kin." Raylan returns to looking for Drew Thompson, only now he's on a deadline as Arlo is willing to give up all he knows about the drug dealer's faked death in return for walking. The feds are plenty interested, as Thompson can help them make a case against Theo Tonin (who's still not seen this week). Raylan would rather see Arlo die in jail, so he pledges to quickly track down Thompson.
Meanwhile, Tonin sends one Nicky Augustine — played by the excellent Mike O'Malley, mercifully freed from Glee — to Kentucky to find Thompson before the marshals do. It looks like the task is going to fall to FBI agent Agent Barkley (Stephen Tobolowski), who we learn is on Tonin's payroll, though Augustine shoots him in the head and gives the job to Wynn Duffy instead. Duffy, in turn, hires Boyd to track down Thompson, promising him half the heroin trade in Kentucky. However, Duffy then makes a deal with a still-simmering cousin Johnny, giving him the okay to take out Boyd once Thompson is located.
Basically, this is the episode where the writers take all the balls they have in play so far this season and begin joyfully crashing them off one another. And it isn't long before Raylan and Boyd find themselves locked together in a make-shift prison up in the mountains, at the mercy of a family of hill folk who urban legend says are cannibals. A plan to escape quickly backfires, leading Boyd to hilariously scream out, "I don't like your plan, Raylan!" while being dragged by his feet to his presumed death. I know it's wrong to want Raylan and Boyd paired up every episode, but Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins play off each other so well that … well, damn it, I want Raylan and Boyd paired up every episode.
There were other treats to be had this week too: The return of Patton Oswalt as Constable Bob. Gerald McRaney playing Josiah Cairn, a grumpy Harlan old-timer who, it's revealed, was the one who had those teenagers digging into Arlo's walls. The bewildered look on Wynn Duffy's face as he listens to Augustine and Barkley swap inane stories about past shenanigans. (Can Jere Burns ever be praised enough for his work on this show? Answer: No.)
Even the B-story this week, which followed an increasingly unhinged Colton as he tries to track down the missing Ellen May, was top shelf. It also ended with a strong kicker: Sheriff Parlow's got her, and he's ready to use her and what she knows to get out from under Boyd's thumb once and for all. The line to back-stab Boyd is starting to get rather lengthy, and one wonders how — or, gulp, if — he'll be able to slither his way free.
Complete derail: I've now seen both Django Unchained and Lincoln, and while Goggins plays a character right in his wheelhouse in the Tarantino flick, I think he's used to better effect in Lincoln, where he portrays a cowardly politician being pulled in two different directions by men he's afraid to say no to. His part's not large in either, but it's good to see the guy getting big-screen work in prestige pictures. After his stellar work here and on The Shield, he certainly deserves it.
Okay, sorry. Back on point. By the end of "Kin," Raylan and Boyd are able to survive the hill folk thanks to Raylan being able to prove that he's distantly related to them. His roots in Harlan truly do run deep. And we learn that Thompson isn't holed up deep in the woods, but rather may be hiding somewhere in plain sight, right in Harlan County. Justified has mined gold exploring the shacks and hills of rural Kentucky, from the Bennett clan's pot farm to Ellstin Limehouse's Noble's Holler. But now, with the talk of him rubbing elbows with politicians, it sounds like they're going to explore a different type of scumbag with Drew Thompson. I expect further surprises in the coming weeks.
A few more thoughts on "Kin" …
— Winona's back this week, if only briefly. Looks like The Following won't stop Natalie Zea from recurring. Early in the episode, Raylan meets her for a doctor's appointment, but of course he has to bolt for work immediately after promising to be there for her and the kid.
— We better get to actually see Bob's "go bag" put to good use by the end of the season.

Sex is a natural act that everyone around the world wishes to have in their life. However, it means different for each as some called it a secretive act while others use it as an occupation. That's why there is no doubt that sex is one of the most debating topics all over the world. Some countries have made the prostitution illegal and even punishable. On the other hand, many have made it a legal profession. In this post, we will talk about the top 10 sex free countries in the world. Check out each of them in detail.
10. Thailand
If you think Thailand is only known for beautiful beaches and extensive temples, then you are completely wrong. It is one of those countries that have one of the world's highest numbers of sex workers. Millions of tourists came here for sex shows and even sex massage. The country has not legalized prostitution legal, but we can't say that it is completely legal at all. You can easily find lots of red-light areas in the cities of Patpong, Phuket, and Pattaya.
All these things allow citizens and tourists to enjoy sex freely that make it one of the most visited tourist locations globally. No one will get surprised if someone calls Pattaya from the name of the world's sex capital. Overall, this country is a paradise for sex workers. You will easily find a shop selling sex on each part of the city. That's why we have started the list of top 10 sex free countries in the world with this one. If you are looking to visit one of such nations, then we suggest you start with this one.
9. Netherlands
The Netherlands is known as the home of the world's most beautiful and hottest beauties across the world. There are pretty dull laws about the sex in this country about which the majority of people don't care. It is one of the major reasons that the Netherlands is the world's seventh happiest nations in the world. It is completely legalized to pay for sex in this country. There is a license given by the government to practice prostitution along with operating a brothel.
If you are visiting this country, then you will find red light districts where the prostitutes rent the cabins. That's not all; there are many sex shops where you can buy toys like nipple clamps, butt plugs, etc. In addition to that, you can find peep shows and sex museum in some cities like Amsterdam. Another unique thing about this country is the sex drive-ins where you can order a prostitute for sex. We believe that now you understand why this country is sex free.
8. Dominican Republic
This country has all the things that a tourist prefers to have during a holiday. One will fall in love with the natural landscape and affordable prices, but no one knows that real happiness lies in its sex tourism. The prostitution is completely legal in the country, and that's why we have added it in the list of sex free countries in the world. Some best cities to explore in this country are Boca Chica and Sosua where one can enjoy an amazing holiday. One will find lots of resorts in these cities that specially created for boosting sex tourism in the country.
If you are visiting this country, then we strongly suggest you expect the unpredictable things. You can see massage parlors, legal brothels, and prostitutes in a variety of areas.
7. Germany
Missing the name of Germany will be a little bit unfair and make it incomplete. This country becomes sex free more than a decade ago. Their authority passed the legislation related to sex and prostitution in 1927, and that's why sex tourism is a common thing there. There are even some sex health insurance companies in the country for protecting the health of the sex workers. It shows how much the German government believes in making the country sex free.
If you are looking to enjoy an exotic vacation with your loved one and seeking a company, then book your ticket to Germany now. It is one of the perfect locations that you can consider for this type of vacation. Every year this country visited by the tourists all over the world for allowing people to enjoy sex tourism in the best way.
6. Cambodia
Cambodia may be known for its temples among the people, but the emergence of illegal prostitution has started to show up a completely different picture of this country. That's why the tourist prefers to visit this country for enjoying sex free without worrying about the legal problems. One can see women working as the prostitutes roaming around the city and looking for the customers in some major cities of the country like Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Furthermore, you can see them roaming around the downtown bars and clubs.
Despite being the prominence of the sex industry, the tourists still prefer to visit other spots of the city too. Overall, this country is a complete package for the individual who is searching for a sex-free country for a long time.
5. Austria
Do you know that Austria is one of those countries where the government generates a great amount of revenue through prostitution? We believe that this reason is enough for adding its name in the list of top 10 sex free countries in the world. The sex worker not even needs to get a license to perform the prostitution in this country as there are no initial procedures for it. Anyone can indulge in this job according to their convenience level.
They only need to pay a certain amount of their income in the form of tax to the government. It is only because prostitution is legal in this country that makes it sex free.
4. Australia
There is only a difference of name between Austria and Australia, but the laws are the same when it comes to being a sex free country. There is no chance that you will find any difficulty enjoying erotica with a worry-free mind. The government has not set any restrictions related to the adult industry. There are full legal rights offered to the sex workers.
All these things make Australia one of the most visited locations for the tourists who are sexually active. If you are looking for such a country, then your search ends up here.
3. Spain
Spain is a beautiful place where you can make an exciting vacation with a worry-free mind. There are lots of cities like Ibiza, Barcelona, and Madrid, which are fully active for their bar scene and heavy clubs. These places have become well-known places for the sex industry. It is one of the most popular sex free countries in the world due to its beautiful girls and unique landscape.
There are red light districts in Barcelona where one meets a variety of girls at night. On the other, the scene is no different at the Madrid where the Gran Via Street considered as the hub for sex tourism.
2. New Zealand
Along with the beautiful landscape, the country is known for its gorgeous & thrilling babes. It is one of the recent countries to pass the prostitution law for ensuring the safety of the sex workers. There are some laws related to the health and employment in this business, so it is important to follow them. The sex workers have to follow the same benefits and precautions as the other sectors.

There is no interference from the government's side. It is an open country that makes them a popular contestant to be part of this list.
1. Philippines
The country that tops our list is the Philippines who attract people from all over the globe. The cities like Boracay and Manila may be a popular choice for ordinary tourists, but the individuals interested in a different thing prefer to Angeles City and Olongapo City. There are no strict laws about prostitution, and that's you will find lots of prostitutes in the massage parlors as well as bars.
Also, there are many red light areas where one can easily find a girl offering prostitute services. It is an amazing country that you can visit to enjoy in a free mood without any interference.

Visiting Barbados Budget Edition
Ah, Barbados: swaying palms, stunning white sandy shores, crystal blue waters, coral and sandstone cliffs rising a hundred feet out of the sea. This Caribbean gem has been a popular tourist destination for a long time now and its high-end vacation infrastructure is well honed – but wait, it's not out of your budget-traveling league! Here are some tips for planning and booking for alternatively cheap holidays to the islands.
First and foremost: be creative, be friendly, and get local. The island is renowned for its friendliness; so don't hesitate to ask around for tips on where to go if you're looking for inexpensive, not-fancy, local fare.
Getting There - Shop Around, Miss the Crowds
If you want to cut travel costs to Barbados, aim for flexibility. Save hundreds of dollars by looking for package deals and when you can, do your best to travel off-season (that means avoiding December through April).
You don't have to spend lots of money finding a place to lay your vacation-happy head in Barbados. The tourism industry likes to tout its luxury options, but instead look into renting a condo or a house through one of the home-search internet sites, or look for local B&Bs. Be diligent, there are lots of affordable options to be found.
Sure, restaurants are fun and you can always ask around for local recommendations, but also remember to think like a local and pack a picnic, hit street vendors, and ask around about weekend fish-fries. The home-grown Barbadian sandwich is called the cutter - Bajan Salt Bread cut in half, stuffed with a savory filling and eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just as a snack. Why not plan a daily adventure around trying all the local varieties, from ham to cheese, from liver to chicken gizzard? Or just stick to the many delicious fish varieties of this local favorite.
Stick to Mount Gay Rum, produced in Barbados since 1703. Pick up a bottle with some friends, add a few bottles of Banks beer to your tab, and check out a local cricket match on TV - you'll be keeping step with years and years of local tradition and flavors.
Getting Around
If you want to check out the islands' more remote and stunning northern and eastern parishes, look into renting a car or Mini Moke (open air beach buggy) for a couple days, but otherwise spend just a dollar per ride and take the bus. It might not be the quickest way to get around but it'll be the most colorful, and potentially musical if they're playing reggae and soca dance music to liven up your trip.
If you do your research, plan ahead, and be ready to take local recommendations on the fly, there are plenty of ways to see Barbados on a budget, so cost-cutting travelers, go ahead and put this beautiful destination on your to-do list.

Planetarium Show
Duration: 40΄
2500 years after the pre-Socratic philosophers first started to look for rational explanations of the natural phenomena, humanity's scientific endeavor has led us to a fascinating conclusion: that every living organism, every planet and star, the Universe itself are all subject to the concept of Evolution. Eugenides Planetarium's latest production "Evolution" attempts to capture this all-encompassing concept by inviting its audience on a fascinating journey. From ancient Miletus, where pre-Socratic philosopher Thales laid the foundations for the scientific investigation of the physical world, to the birth and the large scale expansion of the Universe, from stellar evolution to the geologic history of our planet and the emergence and evolution of life, from the rise and demise of some of the great civilizations of the past to our modern civilization and beyond, "Evolution" narrates the fascinating story of Change.

The future guided-missile destroyer USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) returned from Atlantic Ocean on Thursday after completing its second round of sea trials off the coast of Maine.
These photos, taken by Dave Cleaveland from MaineImaging.com, show the destroyer's arrival at the mouth of the Kennebec River near Portland.
The ship departed for builder's trials from Bath Iron Works shipyard in Bath, Maine, located just up the Kennebec, on Monday. The Navy said that during the trials many of the ship's key systems and technologies would be demonstrated. The Navy-Industry team was also to conduct numerous operational demonstrations in preparation for acceptance trials in April.
DDG 1000 is the lead ship of the Zumwalt-class destroyers, a class of next-generation multi-mission surface combatants tailored for land attack and littoral dominance.
These next images were taken during Zumwalt's first sea trials in December:

To the Youth of the City: a call to action
An Open Letter
To the Youth of the City: a call to action
Gloucester is indeed changing and has changed quite a bit since I was a boy living in the shadows of a once great fishing empire. The looming giants of fish factory vessels from other countries I believe have over fished our shores.
I see my old hometown changing with the rest of the country. Not enough jobs for the natives and too many commuters taking them. Growing crime and drug abuse. Too many banks and liquor stores as the rise of " We accept EBT and foodstamps" signs signal the new disparit.
This problem is not local, it is Nationwide. I watched it destroy the prosperous places outside of Gloucester. I believe our own Governments are being infiltrated by ideologies that are near Marxist making the people think it's for their own good while the elite dive up the spoils. Beware of the deceptions at hand.
Henry Allan is doing some good stuff with empowering Gloucester youth to have a voice, for our city. This open letter raises very important questions, for reflection. Thanks, Ernie. Rona
Ernie asks some great questions. If I were 40 years younger, and an ambitious youth, I'd start rallying to preserve Ten Pound Island as a sanctuary for the multitude of birds that nest and feed out there. I've seen what money can do recently, and believe me, they'll take that too. Our natural playgrounds will have "Private Property, No Trespassing" signs on them before you know it. Beat them to the punch kids, or you'll be saying… woulda, coulda, shoulda…
Yes indeed Ernie. I will certainly be sharing this -and the comments-with the younger generation in my family. Thank you.
With all due respect, how are the very capitalistic abuses of the banks Marxist in nature. There is nothing Marxist about what is happening to Gloucester. It is a coastal citing in a temperate climate, with a disappearing once vibrant blue collar middle class that is at risk of being forced out as big money interests and sundry other capitalist/corporate elites, set their sights on yet another coastal community. I hardly find anything Marxist in that reality. Gloucester's resident billionaire, Jim Davis, may be many things, but "Marxist: is not one of them

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a rupee 500 Currency.
In the room of 200, he asked, "who would like this Rupee 500 Currency?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this," He proceeded to crumble the currency up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air. "well," he replied, "what if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it in to the floor with his shoe, He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty, "Now who still wants it ?"
Still the hands went in to the air, "My friends, you have all learned a vary valuable lesson, No matter what i did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value, It was still worth rupee 500/- Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground in to the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless, But no mater what has happened or what will happen , you will never lose your value.
You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.
