El Salvador war veterans march to demand pension
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — Thousands of war veterans in El Salvador are demanding that authorities release 95 of their fellow veterans detained during a protest this week to demand a monthly pension.
The former soldiers and ex-guerrillas marched throughout the country on Thursday, a day after the group was detained while blocking several major highways.
The protesters were demanding lawmakers pass a bill that asks that all those who fought in El Salvador's 12-year civil war receive a pension and other benefits.
Authorities say the veterans are accused of disorderly conduct and of resisting detention. They say one of them will be charged with terrorism because he threw a makeshift explosive device that injured several police officers.
The veterans vowed to continue their protesting until their demands are met.

start fermentation
You can try to warm it up to about 75F, and swirl it to rouse the yeast.I had one do that and all it took was moving it from my garage fridge to my house.Just the movement started it up.

Liquid Yeast
There is comfort in proofing your liquid yeast. Making a starter the day before ensures that your yeast is viable. Your OG is low enough that there was plenty of yeast to do the job is they are ready to work. I have had enough batches that lagged or did start and had to supplement with dry that I don't chance it any more. I always proof or I don't brew.

Mumbai, Feb 17: Actress Sonal Chauhan, who will soon be seen in "3G", says it is an unconventional horror film for Bollywood.
"'3G' is a horror film. But in Indian cinema, the horror films have been mostly about haunted mansions, spirits or black magic. '3G' offers you horror in a different way, something that I think the Indian audience will see for the first time on screen," the 27-year-old said here Friday at the launch of the film's first look.
"3G" revolves around a mobile phone, and the spooky events that take place after the movie's male protagonist, essayed by Neil Nitin Mukesh, buys it.
Releasing March 15, the movie is co-directed by Sheershak Anand and Shantanu Ray Chhibber.

I teach, guide, support, mentor, consult, counsel, partner many hundreds of UK Estate and Letting Agents in their quest to grow their estate and lettings agencies business.
Old school techniques of touting, landlords wanted leaflets, ring us for a free valuation, we have sold this in your street leaflets don't work anymore. There are too many competitor agents .. meaning cheap fees are epidemic, overvaluing is almost a norm to get the stock and don't even mention about the online/hybrid threat.
So a few years ago, I set about looking around the UK and spotted that certain agents (not many mind you) in certain towns were still seen as the 'go to person on property', the person the newspaper editor rang up every week for a comment and I looked at what they did and they were doing some thing quite remarkable…. Only one thing but they were doing it so well .. and reaping the reward in terms of decent listings and decent fees, happy staff, decent sales pipeline and exchange income, managed lettings portfolios in the many hundreds .. but more importantly, they really enjoyed the job… they enjoyed getting up in the morning and people looked up to them
Over 400 agents around the UK are on a mission to change the way our Estate and Lettings agency profession is perceived and looked upon, doing it town by town, city by city. I guide these 400 agents, teach them, mentor them and support them to be seen in a different light, to be seen as the 'go to person for property', actually be the 'local property expert' and prove it.

Like we've said, the TSAB is designed by people whose experience with the military is the JSDF. That is to say, the TSAB is a self-defense force in almost the same mold; law enforcement, disaster relief, a jobs program for people with a certain type of inclination.
That works for the Japanese government and society, but primarily because the US is there; Japan, as part of the US security umbrella, doesn't really need powerful forces of its own (and in fact, developing them would be counterproductive, as the US would probably reduce its own deployments in the area.) Nobody else is really competing with the US, so it's not essential that Japanese military strength be developed - and staying non-nuclear was Japan's only real hope of coming out of a multinational nuclear exchange intact.
The TSAB has a different environment, though. If there's a big protector keeping everyone else off their back, the series definitely doesn't mention it; thus, probably not. The implication is that they're the only game in town. Possibly true - it would take a lot of infrastructure to match their Navy, and they're not totally blind. That kind of security arrangement would call for something more like the British Imperial Navy than the JSDF...
One other point - there's absolutely no combat continuity in the TSAB. No mention of unit continuity, no glorious martial heritage, no traditions, no patriotism. No "why we fight" moment - the characters are there because of their personal ambitions, desires, and quirks, and there's no common purpose beyond that. That's -freakin' odd- for a military, but the JSDF is closer to it than anything else.
Nanoha and the others make a lot of other mistakes that help give you the feeling that the writers just weren't familiar with any "real" militaries, and thus winged the whole thing, without really having the background to appreciate the problems their structure would encounter. Well, it's not a terrible thing, that we've created a world in which such people can exist and not know any better... ;p But it does tend to kneecap your magical girl military realism, if that term isn't a contradiction in and of itself.
It'd be interesting to design a rival organization "the right way", though. What special challenges would a militarized magical society face? Yes, yes, peace through superior firepower, but there really are unique challenges presented by the situation; you couldn't just throw Nanoha and Fate and Hayate into the 101st without giving everybody involved fits.
(More to the point, it'd be more interesting to talk about that than harping continually on the shortcomings of Nanoha from a pragmatic standpoint...)

They won't be able to invade us without lots of indiscriminate bombing to make up for their tactical nonexistence, but we aren't going to invade them anytime soon unless entire inftact warships are given to us. Even then, we'll only be able to use them until the first major magitech system requires maintenance.
(Pure speculation here, but when a world gets advanced enough it might just be able to, like the Erusians, eventually squeeze something out of accidentally contacted magitech, they go from "Non-management" to "Observation Candidate"). That's when they start to sweat...
Now here's another thought. We all agree that the TSAB pretty much had to suppress tactics to get that dumb.
Perhaps that was their war-suppression plan...
After all, tactics are the best chance for the weaker side to pull a fast one over a stronger side. If no one even has tactics as a concept, then battle becomes a crapshoot. The stronger side will win by dint of N-square (not counting the inevitable factor of luck). Since the TSAB is presumably the strongest power, anybody acting up won't even dream they can beat them.
Further, the suppression of tactics also suppresses the arms race. A lot of weapons are created to satisfy certain tactical requirements mandated by certain tactical visions. Remove thinking on military matters and you reduce this.
Of course, all this kind of falls apart when one guy like Scarlietti doesn't play by the rules, but while the illusion holds, a kind of peace can be retained. They are exchanging unpreparedness against the unknown factors we think of for increasing the probability of peace in the known factors.
At least, that was the original vision about 75-150 years ago. Now, no one in the TSAB controlled zone even really understands what's as stake.

I've got one, though I never got around to writting it down. I was thinking about what I could give an OC in the TSAB, then I thought, "Why should I give these to the Bureau?"
The resulting world has the following features, which I think are what's needed to give the Bureau a run for its money:
1. About 250 years before MC0000, the civilization on this world was in the early electric age and discovered a way to generate magical energy from electricity. As a result, they don't need high-powered mages to deliver high-power attacks. They use nuclear reactors, that can be small enough to mount on vehicles. Infantry have to make do with high capacity batteries.
2. This planet has three superpowers dominating a continent each. Sounds like Gundam 00, but I thought of it weeks before that detail was announced. Anyway, they're not friendly to each other, so they weren't dumb enough to stand down their conventional forces to replace them with magical ones like Mid-childa did.
3. As a result of 2, their magic weapons evolved to match modern weapons in speed, range and destructiveness. They've replaced non-magical weapons only where they've proven superior. Unlike the Bureau's which seem to use non-gunpowder weapons as a meterstick.
To keep them and the Bureau from commiting their full resources to destroying each other, I put this world over three years travel time in Dimensional Space from Bureau HQ.

Looks like everybody loves (killing) the TSAB in their dreams and fantasies. For me I did something a little nastier and sneakier rather than "outright planetary resistance", which I refuse to state as yet.

Continuation of a discussion on Lost Logia powers that started in the OC-thread:
Also, this 'exageration formed over a lifetime of indoctrination' is completely baseless. Lost Logia incidents happen even to this day, meaning that there is plenty of it in the news.

Yeah, watching Nanoha tells us that much about Lost Logia incidents. There seem to be way too many of them for anyone's good.
You can go see the main point of my reply to his rant on the OC.

The actual word used in the Japanese was 崩壊, which means "collapse", "breakdown" or "decay". It is actually a pretty broad term that can mean far more than annihilate.
The point is that where we can observe the seeds, they clearly aren't nearly as l33t as promised.

One points out that it was stated pretty bluntly that the Book of Darkness would absorb the entire world if not unchecked. Destroying Tokyo to kill it (temporarily) was a lesser-of-two-evils option, not a hysterical over-reaction to an imagined threat. No, Yuuno didn't actually see a world go foom, but given that by this point he's the expert on the Book outside of Reinforce herself (who doesn't contradict him), we can take it as settled fact.
One also points out that you don't know that the "old calendar" is a BC-type counting backwards. That's actually an unusual way to do it - the counting backwards would also be an artifact of the "new calendar", and the "old" calendar would reflect the previously-used dating system. Since the implication of that statement was that it was in some way influential in forming TSAB policy towards Lost Logia, it's sensible that it happened much closer to the TSAB's foundation than you've stated.
Keroko's right in that the manifestations of the Jewel Seeds that we see in the first season are entirely uncontrolled - the Jewel Seeds are not being manipulated by anyone with the least magic power (save Fate and Nanoha, who are busy sealing them, not unleashing them.) The one time we see some Jewel Seeds being intentionally used by a mage, Precia is attempting to open a pathway that involves destroying a dimension, and even the warming-up process is enough to cause an earthquake... in Uminari, in another dimension completely. It's not too much to surmise that (a) Precia-success would have spelled bad news for the Midoriya's cake sales, and (b) that the Jewel Seeds are packed full of punch for them who know how to use 'em.

This has probably been asked, but what is the TSAB's personal stance on using projectile weaponry? Such as making a Belka-style gun, like Tiana's, however, it is designed to fire actual bullets that are magically charged?

Fate didn't execute the Jewel Seeds in ep 9 - she just threw a hell of a lot of energy out there, and hoped that they'd reveal themselves with some sort of sympathetic reaction, which is what more or less happened, right? Fate wasn't trying to "summon waterspout" (duh). And once she'd set them off that way, she couldn't just turn them off - in fact, she wouldn't have managed to seal them at all without Nanoha for backup - so it's safe to say that they were doing their own thing and not in the least under Fate's control.
I have no idea exactly how much oomph it takes to make an earthquake in another dimension. Hell, making one HERE requires the same magnitude of energy release as several nuclear weapons, even if it's one that's too small to do much damage (and I suppose "distance to the epicenter" isn't a problem when the quake is occurring at right angles to reality, huh?) And it's not even what Precia was trying to do - just an incidental feature of her doing something even more difficult. And she didn't even manage it! So, yeah, okay, we're talking about nine seeds and the assist of all the power reactors in the Garden of Time (which was not, we can assume, greater than the effect of the additional five Jewel Seeds that Precia wanted.) But that's still one HELL of a punch!
By contrast, the show never gave the Relics that kind of power in Strikers. We don't ever see them unshielded, we don't really know what they're good for other than sticking into Vivio and (maybe) bringing back Lutecia's mom? (What'd Jail want with so many, anyway?) They're not so dangerous that Caro suffered ill effects from hiding one under her hat, even. So we can at least conclude that they're more stable than a Jewel Seed...

I'd say in the least, 1 Jewel Seed for 100,000 Drones. Not that Jail made that much of course.
I think those Relics are supposed to matter after Jail wins, where he can spend his nice coffee hours to create more Saint bloodlines, or to modify living humans to be able to accommodate Relics, since canonically proper cloning is not so easy of a task.

They call it the chupacabra — Spanish for "goat sucker" — a supposedly mythical animal thought to attack goats and cows to drink their blood. And now a Texas family believes they have captured one live.
A video of the hairless animal, about the size of a medium dog, in a cage on their property in Ratcliffe will make you wonder.
Jackie Stock and her husband, Bubba, spotted the animal eating corn in their back garden and locked it in a cage, where they're feeding it cat food now.
Jackie told WMUR-TV, "He called me to come and look, and I said 'Bubba, that looks like a baby chupacabra.'"
Wildlife experts say the animal could be a dog, coyote, fox or raccoon with mange that made its hair fall out. But take a look for yourself — it looks a lot more like, well, like a chupacabra.

I Should Also Tell You...
April 06, 2011
...that we got Noah's evaluation results on Monday.
We didn't get them in time for his IEP meeting, but no matter, the school district team agreed that he belongs in the smaller special education kindergarten program for most academic portions of the day, with a few hours in the (gigantic, one teacher and 28+ kids, oh my God) general education classroom, albeit with "support" and regular pullouts for one-on-one occupational therapy for fine-motor delays.
All in all, a very good outcome, with no need for us to halt proceedings with our last-minute evidence and change of diagnosis and THIS WHOLE IEP MEETING IS OUT OF ORDER dramatics.
But yeah. We do have a change of diagnosis. ADHD, or at least several assessment scores that put him at the top of the "very high likelihood" range. Also a word retrieval disorder, and confirmation of a bunch of ongoing sensory-based delays that we already knew about, so like, whatever. Pffft. Bring it. And yet: GAH, OMFG, ETC.
You guys, I am so tired. I am beat. I read the reports, I shrugged my shoulders, I went upstairs and lay down. I told the ceiling fan that hey, we could really, really use some good and happy and easy around here, and soon.
I told Noah about PopPop last week, probably no more than five hours after I knew. He took the news so nonchalantly I might as well have told him "Noah, I'm really sorry, but...we're out of butter."
And then, a few minutes passed, and he revisited the topic after some thought: "You lost your Daddy!"
"Yes, I did. And it makes me very sad."
"I'd be sad if I lost my Daddy."
"I know you would. But Daddy is fine."
"Can I have a banana?"
And then, after a few more minutes, he coughed.
"I coughed but I'm not going to die."
"No! No you are not. Don't worry, PopPop was a very different kind of sick. The kind we couldn't give him medicine for, or the kind the doctors couldn't make better, and when you're sick we can..."
"Look, this is Harry Potter and he has a wand. See? See his wand, Mommy?"
"Yep. I do. It's awesome."
Later, out of the blue, Ezra asked "Where's PopPop?"
He asked that a lot last week, never quite satisfied with our answers, because PopPop wasn't in his chair or in his bed, and where else could he be? Why are we visiting Nana's house without seeing PopPop too? What the hell, you guys?
"PopPop is gone, Ez."
"In da car?"
"No, not in his car. He's...well..."
At this point, every time, Noah would get exasperated with our pussyfooting around the obvious, correct answer.
"HE DIED," he'd say. "HE'S DEAD."
One night -- oh, I forget when, exactly, every night has been a blur of grief and/or pregnancy-related ailments, honestly -- I had a headache and was sprawled out on the couch, bleating to the boys to please keep the noise down.
Noah came over and snuggled next to me.
"I'm sorry your head hurts, Mommy."
"Thanks, dude."
"But you're not going to die."
"No, I am not."
"And Daddy isn't going to die. And Ezra isn't going to die. And none of my friends are going to die. None kids are going to die. Or mommies or daddies or brothers ever."
"Right. Okay. Can I play the Harry Potter game?"

Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has been left out of England's World Cup squad.
Cole has 107 caps for his country but has paid the price for failing to hold down a regular first-team place at Stamford Bridge this year.
Press Association Sport understands England manager Roy Hodgson called Cole on Sunday night to inform the left-back he would not be included in his 23-man squad, which is officially announced on Monday afternoon.
Cole's omission means it is highly likely that Southampton teenager Luke Shaw will make the trip to Brazil as back-up to first-choice left-back Leighton Baines.
Cole must now decide whether to call time an an international career that spans 13 years.
He made his international debut against Albania in 2001 and has been an ever-present in the England side since.
The 33-year-old has started every tournament game since making his finals bow in the 2002 World Cup against Sweden.
Hodgson said in March he was conscious of the fact that he would have to disappoint big names when he picked his squad and the decision to drop Cole is certainly a bold move by a manager who was once renowned for his conservative attitude towards the game.
Cole would have given a youthful-looking England squad more experience and control.
But the England manager looks set to choose Shaw instead, even though the 18-year-old only has one England cap.

Land banks to receive more than $12.4 million in A.G. grants this year; millions more to be leveraged from private sources, local governments
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced more than $12.4 million in grant funding for land banks in Erie County/Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Chautauqua County, Newburgh and Suffolk County. The grants represent the first round of competitive funding awards under the attorney general's land bank community revitalization initiative. This two-year, $20 million program provides funds from last year's national mortgage settlement with the nation's largest banks to help communities rebuild and restore neighborhoods hit hard by the housing crisis.
"In the aftermath of the foreclosure crisis, communities across our state have been burdened by vacant and abandoned properties that attract crime and drag down property values," Schneiderman said. "By funding land banks across New York, we are helping to empower local communities to rebuild their own neighborhoods, house by house, block by block. Returning blighted properties to responsible, productive use will revitalize entire neighborhoods and help our communities recover from the housing crisis."
Following the collapse of the housing market, the New York State Legislature passed a law in 2011 establishing land banks - nonprofit organizations that can acquire vacant, abandoned or foreclosed properties and choose to rebuild, demolish or redesign them. By restoring vacant or abandoned properties, land banks lower costs for local governments, benefit public schools, reduce crime and boost the local economy. However, the legislation that authorized land banks in New York did not provide funding for them. Schneiderman's land bank community revitalization initiative is filling that gap to allow the land banks to fulfill their purpose.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said, "Thanks to Attorney General Schneiderman, the Buffalo Erie Niagara land Improvement Corp. will be able strengthen its efforts in helping municipalities handle the problem of vacant and abandoned homes. These properties blight neighborhoods and negatively impact the property values of the homes around them, contributing to the erosion of communities. I thank the attorney general for recognizing the value of what our land bank is doing. His support benefits all of Erie County."
Mayor Byron Brown, noting that the city demolished 4,796 vacant buildings since 2006, said, "While the City of Buffalo is experiencing more economic development than it has seen in generations, Buffalo cannot reach its full potential until abandoned and blighted properties are removed from our neighborhoods. New York Attorney General Schneiderman's commitment of $2 million to the Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Improvement Corp., which includes an allocation of $1 million for demolitions in the City of Buffalo, is welcome news for those that experience the negative consequences of these properties on a daily basis, enabling us to further eliminate decades of decay to make way for even more economic development."
The following are the land banks selected for funding under the first round of the program and the amounts of their awards:
•The Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Bank Corp. was awarded $2.087 million;
•The Rochester Land Bank Corp. was awarded $2.78 million;
•The Greater Syracuse Property Development Corp. was awarded $3 million;
•The Chautauqua County Land Bank Corp. was awarded $1.5 million;
•The Newburgh Community Land Bank was awarded $2.45 million; and
•The Suffolk County Land Bank Corp. was awarded $675,000.
Schneiderman first announced in June that he would dedicate national mortgage settlement funds to support land banks. In July, he opened the first round of the competitive request for applications process.
The projects selected for funding will carry out a range of vital community development activities, including demolition of blighted, vacant and abandoned homes; acquisition and renovation of vacant homes, including remediation of environmental hazards; resale of renovated properties as affordable housing for low-and moderate-income families; acquisition of vacant land that will be transferred to existing community residents who will maintain and repurpose the underutilized open space; and environmental pre-development studies and analysis that will eventually lead to remediation and redevelopment of brown field sites. Proceeds from the resale of renovated properties will go back to the land banks and allow them to continue their work.
Schneiderman's land bank community revitalization initiative will particularly benefit cities and counties that have struggled to maintain local services despite significant declines in tax revenue as a result of the foreclosure crisis and the subsequent epidemic of vacant and abandoned properties. The six land banks funded today have committed to return hundreds of properties to productive use and to get those lots back on the local and county tax rolls over the next 24 months.
The land banks are also using Schneiderman's funding to leverage additional resources from both private and public sources in order to expand their community revitalization efforts. A conservative estimate suggests the six land banks will be able to access a combined total of more than $21 million in other public and private funding over the next two years.
Finally, the A.G. is providing most grantees with funds to hire full-time staff, which will allow the land banks to expand operations and seek long-term sustainable sources of funding.
The A.G. has also contracted with Enterprise Community Partners, an intermediary that specializes in providing project support for community development initiatives. Enterprise will provide technical assistance and underwriting support to the land banks. It will also assist the office of the attorney general in making sure the projects remain on budget and on schedule.
Maria R. Whyte, chairwoman of the Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Bank Corp., said, "I want to thank the attorney general for making funds through his community revitalization initiative available to our local land bank. With these resources, we will be able to move the Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Improvement Corp. beyond its 2013 pilot project and dramatically scale up operations. Funds will be used to hire staff, demolish blighted properties, strategically acquire and rehabilitate properties, and establish a revolving fund for future land bank operations. In short, these funds will get our local land bank off the ground and help us change the landscape of many WNY neighborhoods."
Aaron Bartley, executive director of PUSH Buffalo, said, "PUSH Buffalo applauds Attorney General Schneiderman's commitment to the land bank revitalization initiative. With these funds, the land bank is poised to stabilize neighborhoods across Erie County and empower residents to determine the future of their communities. By holding banks accountable for the losses endured by millions of New Yorkers as a result of the financial crisis, the attorney general has garnered the resources needed to address the vacancy crisis with a strategy tested in communities across the country."
Alma Balonon-Rosen, director of relationship management-northeast, enterprise Community Partners Inc., said, "Each of the six land banks selected has put together a thoughtful, forward-thinking framework to revitalize its community and make vacant and abandoned properties productive once again. Enterprise commends Attorney General Schneiderman and his staff for creating this vital program, and we look forward to providing technical assistance to each land bank to help create communities of opportunity."
Schneiderman is also providing small grants for capacity building and staff support to assist the two land banks that applied, but were not funded for their proposals under this first round of the program. Both applicants have been encouraged to apply for funding in the second round of applications, which is expected to open in June of 2014.

Small characters, big performances
Some of the biggest entertainment this summer in Southeast Texas comes from the smallest of characters – Southeast Texas kids.
Community theaters, like The Betty Greenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Port Arthur Little Theatre and Orange Community Players, offer constructive summertime fun for children, culminating in stage performances for all audiences, and the curtain is about to go up.
All told, more than 200 children will perform in one of six productions between now and the end of July. Children as young as 6 and up to 18 are singing, dancing, practicing their lines, their facial expressions, their moves, grooves and making costumes in preparation for performances that begin June 25.
"There is a world of art and we are showing kids that you can make music and support the arts — become a lover of arts," said Jerry McMillan, managing technical director at The Betty Greenberg Center for the Performing Arts at 4155 Laurel, where the Beaumont Community Players perform.
Beaumont Community Players has hosted some kind of summer theater camp for more than 35 years. Kidmunity, four summer workshops divided into varying age groups and performances, has evolved over those years, teaching young thespians and those who just love to be center stage, every aspect of presenting a major production to the community.
"Kidmunity brings kids to the theater and gets them away from TV," McMillan said.
Every summer, children audition for the "audition experience," but no child is turned away. For four weeks, three of the theater groups – Players (grades 1-2), Jesters (grades 3-4) and Krewe (grades 5-7) – practice for three hours, five days a week. The fourth group of campers, Troupe (grades 8-12), practices for six weeks prior to their performances. The per-child cost for all workshops is $100.
"Kids have a great time because they are away from their parents and with other kids," said McMillan. "They get interaction without stress, and they learn their lines and roles without worrying about being graded."
One of the four Kidmunity performances is "Suesscial, Jr.," a musical mix of classic Dr. Suess stories including "Horton Hears a Who," and "The Cat and the Hat." Baylor University student and Beaumont Community Players veteran, Philip Skinner, is the director.
"It's such a corky show and the most musical musical I've ever been a part of," said Skinner, a senior voice major who began his performing career at the age of 9 with Beaumont Community Players. "It's challenging, too, because sometimes there are 51 kids on stage at one time all singing and dancing. It's a stretch for those who want to act because there is so much singing, but they are all enjoying it."
Other Kidmunity performances are "Willy Wonka KID," a shortened version of the stage musical featuring 32 kids in the wonderland of Willy, Oompa Loompas and all; "The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley," who travels and sings all over the world; and "AIDA," a love story featuring the music of Elton John and Tim Rice.
One of the tricks to a successful performance is building camaraderie among the children. Skinner spends the first few days just playing games and allowing the children, who are from Lumberton, Vidor and Beaumont, to bond.
"I have a rule that if I clap twice, kids have to go stand next to someone they don't know," said Skinner. "This constant shifting gets them out of their comfort zones."
Codie Vasquez, coordinator of the 2011 Young People's Theatre Workshop: "Alice in Wonderland" at the Orange Community Players, also implements "warm-up" type activities to get the kids interacting.
"Kids come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and cliques from schools," said Vasquez. "So the first week we do different theater-based activities and exercises like crafts themed on 'Alice.' We made mad hats and paper roses. Then we learned about make-up one night and later broke up into small groups to come up with scenes to learn to be creative together."
The Young People's Theatre performance "Alice In Wonderland" is adapted from Lewis Carroll's book "Through the Looking Glass (And What Alice Found There)," using the first stage version of the script written by Eva Le Gallienne and Florida Friebus in the 1930s.
The four-week workshop leading up to the performance, which includes more than 50 kids, costs $25. Vasquez says the cost is minimal due to funding from the Orange Service League and the Southeast Texas Arts Council.
Debbie Pletcher, the director and coordinator of Port Arthur Little Theatre's production "Holka Polka" takes two weeks of vacation every year just to put on CELT (Children's Educational Little Theatre), now in its second year, hosting 23 children at a cost of $75 per child.
"We teach every aspect of theater," said Pletcher. "The kids do the lights and sounds, paint the scenery and build the sets and do everything to put a show on."
This year, the show is a fairytale mystery published by freedrama.net and featuring familiar, yet different fairytale characters like Humphrey Dumpty, who is the character that actually solves the mystery, and FGM, the fairy godmother with an evil plan.
Many of the children performing in "Holka Polka" are starring as munchkins and flying monkeys in the joint Port Arthur Little Theatre and Lamar State College – Port Arthur production "The Wizard of Oz" also scheduled during the summer.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Ron Paul, a favorite of libertarian-leaning Republicans and young activists, has won another straw poll.
Paul received 37 percent of the vote in the Values Voter Summit straw poll Saturday at the annual gathering of conservative religious voters in Washington.
Pizza magnate Herman Cain, who gave a rousing speech at the confab yesterday, came in second with 23 percent. Former Sen. Rick Santorum, who - along with his family - spent additional hours milling around the conference grounds to speak one-on-one with voters, won 16 percent.
Tied at fourth place were Gov. Rick Perry and Rep. Michele Bachmann, who each received eight percent of the vote.
Gov. Mitt Romney, the presumed national frontrunner in the race whose Mormon faith had been conspicuously raised by two of the event's evangelical speakers, came in fifth at four percent of the vote.
Straw pollers also asked attendees at the conference who they favor as their eventual nominee's vice presidential pick. The top four in that category were: Bachmann, Cain, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Santorum.

Those consumers with subprime and deep subprime credit ratings are taking out more auto loans, but they are making up a smaller percentage of the total number of auto loans written in the U.S. "This is a sign of a very healthy auto loan market," said Melinda Zabritski, Director of Automotive Credit for Experian.
Experian tracks the thousands of auto loans written each month in the U.S. and has released its findings for the second quarter of this year. Compared to the second quarter of 2011, the percentage of loans written for buyers with subprime and deep subprime credit ratings actually decreased from 19.8% to 19% year over year. Subprime credit scores vary depending on the credit rating agency. Generally, those with Subprime credit ratings have scores of 640 and below.
The Experian report also shows the percentage of loans delinquent after 30 and 60 days has declined compared to the same quarter last year.
The report comes at a time when some are wondering if auto dealers, banks and auto companies (most with in-house financing divisions) are becoming too aggressive selling and financing cars and trucks to buyers with poor credit records. While the actual number of loans written to buyers with subprime credit ratings has increased as the credit markets have loosened up, growth in the lower end of the market has been kept in check.
According to Experian nearly two–thirds of auto loans in America are held by those with prime or superprime credit scores (generally 680 and above). That segment of loans inched up a half percent to 65.1% in the second quarter.
Experian says fewer auto repossessions also plunged in the second quarter, falling more than 27%. A clear sign dealers and lenders have been successful at expanding the range of auto loans being written while not pushing too many cars/trucks to people who can't afford a monthly payment.
One area where the industry has changed over the last five years is with loans written for luxury automobiles. Dealers say they have become more discerning about the credit records of those taking out loans for models costing $40,000 or $50,000.

A few months ago I was thrilled beyond words when House Beautiful named Cote de Texas as the "go-to blog" to read all about what they called "The Ruralists" design trend. Imagine being in the same company as Axel Vervoordt and Bobby McAlpine. It was enough to make my head swell about two sizes bigger! The buzzwords House Beautiful used to describe this design style are: handmade, pure, sophisticated, global country and miles of linen. Well, I do want to one day wrap myself up in miles and miles of pure linen – I can't imagine anything better.
After the House Beautiful article, Jaime Rogers who runs the online marketplace DOXA Design Group, took note of the Ruralists designation. DOXA is a one stop shop for online purchasing of anything home decor related. What sets DOXA apart from other online sites is how the merchandise is presented. In order to simplify the process, DOXA has divided its goods into design categories. For instance, there are the other House Beautiful Trends categorized – such as The Glams, and The New Victorians. And there are Collections such as: Positano, Hollywood, Santa Barbara, and Upper East Side. Other sections are divided by color. Each section is filled with the merchandise that goes with that particular style. If you are looking to decorate a room in a "Glam" style – DOXA has gathered all the chairs, sofas, tables, mirrors, lamps, etc. that fit that particular style. I love to go to DOXA when I am working on a new design project and see what's available under a certain style or color theme – it makes my job so much easier to have it all already organized! Here are a few of my favorite items from the new Ruralist Trend Collection on DOXA.
The Monarch Sofa Bench
Since the Ruralist Trend group is so new to DOXA, and in order to spread the word, DOXA is generously offering Cote de Texas readers a giveaway! In addition, 3 Fine Grains is also contributing to the giveaway. 3 Fine Grains is a wonderful Etsy shop owned by Kymberley Fraser that specializes in grain sack pillows, furniture and other goodies. DOXA will soon be carrying some of Kym's merchandise in the Ruralist Collection. In order to see 3 Fine Grains merchandise, go HERE.
3 Fine Grains: offers a wonderful wing chair made with an original grain sack.
1. The Rules:
In order to enter the giveaway, simply go to DOXA Design Group HERE, pick out one item you would like for your own. Then, come back to this comment section at Cote de Texas and let me know which item you picked! It's that simple. I'll pick two winners, randomly.
An example of the grain sack pillow to be on the giveaway.
2. The Giveaways:
There will be a first and second place winner.
The first place winner will receive a choice between an Antique Grain Sack or an Antique Grain Sack Pillow ($400 Value) and a $250 DOXA Home Gift Certificate.

Estimate Corn Yields, Beginning Now.Tweet
We have had two weeks of crop ratings for corn, with a decline in condition to 72% good to excellent from 77% good to excellent a week ago. That was the USDA's crop progress report on Tuesday. While various Cornbelt state's corn crops are going down in quality, this is the time of year that yields need to be determined.
On May 21, USDA reported the condition of the corn crop was 79% good to excellent in Illinois, 70% good to excellent in Indiana, and 81% good to excellent in Iowa. However for the current week, those conditions had declined in Illinois to 72%, in Indiana the decline was to 66%, and to 77% in Iowa.
University of Illinois agricultural economist and marketing specialist Darrel Good says the most important aspect of corn yields at this time of the season is timely planting. While the planting dates this year were earlier than any others, there are indications that yields could have been very good based on the early dates. What is more, Good says, "This year, only four percent of the corn crop in the 18 major corn producing states was planted after May 20." That compares to 18% average for the past 25 years. There have been a handful of years when less than 10% of the crop was planted after May 20, and in half of those years the yield was within two bushels of the trend yield, but in the others, it was well beyond, and both below and above the trend yield.
However, Good says summer weather conditions ultimately determine yields, but "The small percentage of the crop planted late this year suggests that the U.S. average yield will be higher than if a normal percentage had been planted late, but the level of yields is still to be determined." In addition to planting date, Good says the weekly crop condition reports are the second most important early indicator of yield. He says there is a strong relationship between the final yield and the weeks going up to harvest with rating that are in the good to excellent category. As indicated previously, the condition report for the current year has already moved to a lower point, and if it is to end strong, it will have to have a major turnaround and make up the losses.
While planting date and crop conditions are important, Good says a combination of moisture and temperature will quickly become the major elements in determining crop size, "At this juncture two important developments may be required in order to maintain high yield expectations. The first is some convincing evidence that the relatively long period (8 months or so) of above average temperatures is giving way to normal or below normal temperatures. The second is for soil moisture deficits in important areas of the central, eastern, and southern Corn Belt to be eliminated."
So far there have been no indication of temperature trends, but there has been plenty of data about soil moisture levels. Illinois topsoil has moved from 33% short and 64% adequate last week to 48% adequate and 52% short and very short this week. Indiana last week reported topsoil moisture was 36% short and 52% adequate, but this week it is 28% adequate and 71% short to very short. And Iowa last week indicated topsoil moisture was 37% short and 55% adequate, however this week it is 47% adequate and 51% short to very short.
The IL ag economist says another critical factor is planted and harvested acreage, which will be updated on June 29th with USDA's Planted Acreage Report.
Corn yields are a function of timely planting, which was early this year and should be quite favorable. However, they are also a function of the amount of corn in good to excellent condition toward the end of the growing season, as well as a combination of temperature and moisture through the growing season. So far temperature has not been too far beyond the norms, but soil moisture is short and growing shorter, which is not beneficial to high corn yields.

Klara Mintzberg
Born: December 7, 1915
Munich, Germany
Klara grew up in Rzeszow, a Polish city with a population of approximately 30,000. The Mintzbergs were observant Jews. Klara's mother supported the family by running their fabric store. Her father was an ardent Zionist. He dreamed of immigrating to Palestine and encouraged Klara to join a Zionist youth group.
1933-39: After finishing secondary school, I was elected to serve on the board of directors of Poland's Ha-No'ar Ha-Ziyoni youth movement; I was the only woman on the board. I studied education and psychology at the university and worked with the educator Janusz Korczak at his orphanage in Warsaw. When war broke out in September 1939, Rzeszow was occupied by German forces. With the help of members of my youth movement, I fled to the Soviet-occupied sector of Poland.
1940-45: I married in 1940 and moved to Lvov. My husband and I were wanted by the Soviets because of our Zionist activities, so we went into hiding. The Germans invaded Lvov on June 30, 1941, and began killing the city's Jews that same day. In 1942 we fled to Warsaw and lived with my mother and sister. We'd obtained false papers and were living as Christians, but my mother secretly observed Jewish traditions. One day we found a note under the door: "The gold crosses you wear don't help. We know you're Jews." We left that night.
With the help of a relative, Klara and her family went into hiding and survived the war. In October 1945 they sailed to Palestine [the Yishuv] aboard the "Transylvania."

Añasco is a city in the Porta del Sol (West Coast) Region of Puerto Rico. Old town Añasco offers typical Puerto Rican hangout places with its large central square or plaza and well preserved churches.
Añasco holds an important place in Puertorrican history, as it was here that the Spanish Conquistadores were proven to be mortals. A group of rebel Taino natives attacked and drowned a Spanish conquistador named SALCEDO, thus debunking the myth that the Spanish were gods. A bronze fountain in the main square depicts this act of bravery and defiance of colonial Spanish rule.
Today, Añasco is known for its Hojaldre cake (filled with brandy and spices) and the Chipe clam.
Añasco Beach has a Balneario or public beach facility, located on beautiful Tres Hermanos Beach. It completes the chain of surfing beaches in Northwestern Puerto Rico.
Añasco is located on a perfect spot in the west side of the lsland, closed by many tourist attractions and marvelous places to see. It serves as a strategic location for visitors to enjoy the many beauties that Puerto Rico offers.

United Nations: Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for UN experts to have "full access" to the sites of alleged chemical weapons in Syria.
He said yesterday that access must include interviews and examination of witnesses, victims and medical personnel and the conduct of post-mortem examinations.
After months of negotiations, a 20-member UN team led by Swedish chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom arrived in Damascus on Sunday to investigate three sites where chemical weapons attacks allegedly occurred: the village of Khan al-Assal just west of the embattled northern city of Aleppo and two other locations being kept secret for security reasons.
Diplomats and chemical weapons experts have raised doubts about whether the experts will find anything since the alleged incidents took place months ago.
The mandate for the investigation is also limited: The team will report on whether chemical weapons were used, and if so which ones, but it will not determine the responsibility for an attack. This has led some commentators to question the value of the investigation.
Ban said if the UN team reports that chemical weapons were used, it is up to the international community "to determine what course of action should be taken to prove this, first of all, (determine) accountability, and what needs to be done."
The secretary-general reiterated that "if confirmed, the use of chemical weapons by any side under any circumstances must be held accountable and would constitute an international crime."
He told reporters the serious security situation in Syria "will undoubtedly affect the mission`s activities in Syria" and stressed that the government and others must ensure their safety. He expressed appreciation for the assurances he has received on their safety and security.
At the same time, Ban reiterated that "in order to credibly establish the facts, the mission must have full access to the sites of the alleged incidents ... To undertake the necessary analyses and to collect samples."
Syria is said to have one of the world`s largest stockpiles of chemical weapons, including mustard gas and the nerve agent sarin, though it has never admitted possessing such weapons.

Integrated Marketing Company
The essence of advertising is all about forming emotional bond between consumers and a brand. Traditionally, this is the kind of visualization that both marketers and agencies have been trying to always visualize. Surveys, vox pop, focus groups, research, etc. all had a go at it. However, it is seen that people are not willing to divulge their intrinsic beliefs when asked in the street or prompted over the phone.
With the arrival of social media, people started overtly expressing their sentiments through these pages about brands. This resulted in revival of dormant products and reenergizing of old brands. People virtually crushed others to death.
But what if your interest is in consumer's emotions that are more deeply engrained in their minds?
Think outside the (search) box.
The reason for this digression is that one can find consumer insights everywhere. One needs to be a little creative in their approach. The Bing Ads Intelligence tool is a great discovery in this respect. This search marketing tool helps search marketers make knowledgeable choices when building a campaign. For any keyword, the tool makes use of the Bing search queries for historical and forecasted data to provide you traffic volumes, geographical and demographic information about the searchers, all for free. One needs to download it to use.
This freeware is a great boon for marketers, especially those in smaller businesses. The current economic climate, considering costs that are a major consideration, makes it unaffordable to many to do research on the actual demographic profile of audience and do regular research for auditing the awareness of your brand awareness against the audience.
Search engines are for finding.
The search engines are often called as the database of intents. This is well established by Bing that offers you sample of intentions that are statistically relevant. Hence the use of Bing Ads Intelligence for your own research provides you with access to actual logs that let you use them as substitute for the intents of the consumer. It will help you to find the number of consumers who have searched for your brand in the previous month and the number who are your competitors. This helps you to know your brand awareness. Did the consumers search from a mobile device or on a PC? Have the number of queries seen an increase after the broadcast of the latest local TV campaign? How efficient was your regional billboard campaign? From which locations are your visitors?
Two tools to make your data click
Bing Ads Intelligence is the first click in which on entering a word (it could be a brand name), and selecting what is needed to know about it, like device usage, demographics, etc., you can turn the data in Excel into a compelling visualization.
The second click is yet another Excel free tool, called Powermap. It is a 3D visualization add-in for Excel and is used for exploring, mapping and interacting with geographical and temporal data, thus helping people to discover new insights and share with others. The search data could be displayed in chart to see the location of customers making the search, where the prospects are congregating etc.
Although, the tools are no replacement for an extensive monitoring application or full professional research, but these are extremely useful for a superior desk research.
The majority of incorporated online marketing companies list use a mix of all, or a few of, the following services: digital marketing, direct marketing, experiential marketing, PR, advertising, guerilla marketing, social media, sales promotion, B2B communications, mobile marketing, buyer marketing, sponsorship, CRM, graphic style, copywriting and brand name strategy.

LaFrance, Patterson give Argos one-two punch in semifinal rout
DeMOTTE — Raelynn LaFrance notched a hat trick ,and Jami Patterson added a pair of tallies as Argos advanced to the Covenant Christian Soccer Sectional final with a 5-0 shutout of Rensselaer Central Thursday.
The Dragons had opening possession and five minutes passed before the ball entered Argos' defensive half. Despite dominating play, the Dragons went 28 scoreless minutes against a packed-in Bomber defense.
"We expected to find the middle clogged, and the game plan was to attack wide," Argos coach Jon Alcorn said. "We needed to be patient but not content. You quickly had the sense the game was going to be played on one end, and that can lull you asleep and set up counters."
It was the Dragons who awakened first.
Allie Flower's cross from the left hit an onrushing LaFrance for a finish that turned out to be the game-winner. The flood gates opened for a moment as in less than three minutes, LaFrance finished another pass from Sammie Hopkins and Patterson hit a solo shot to give the Dragons a 3-0 lead at the break.
Early in the second half, LaFrance, a junior attacking midfielder, charged hard to challenge a ball being picked up high in the penalty area by Bomber keeper Emily Hopkins. Hopkins made the grab, only to watch as her defender slammed the Argos player to the ground. A bit of confusion ensued as the center official acknowledged a foul waved by the assistant referee, but failed to signal the call. After a short conference, the center pointed to the penalty spot and LaFrance stepped up and hit the shot for her first career triple.
"The center official seemed to get lost for a bit, and the game was getting choppy," said Alcorn. "He regrouped, though and threw some cards and got everyone settled down and back to playing soccer."
Rensselaer players received a pair of yellows within 10 minutes for persistent fouling.
Patterson completed the scoring on a pass from LaFrance. LaFrance has 11 goals on the season, while Patterson has 18.
"Raelynn has really had a breakout season in terms of understanding the offense and the flow of the game," Alcorn said. "In the sectional opener she didn't score, but led us in energy and drew a great deal of defensive attention. So it was fitting for her to light it up tonight. It takes pressure off Jami. Jami can possess and pass, and other kids will step up. She's in the top five of our career scorers now, but she doesn't have to carry it all. Shelby Sanders has tallied six as a central defender, and we have a dozen kids who've scored. Katie Williams is our assist leader and there are five kids right behind her. I can play 19 different kids and feel we are going to get good stuff out of all of them. That is a luxury we haven't had in a while."
Patterson has 55 career goals behind Argos all-time scorer Kelsie Hollabaugh (101), Alyssa Bailey (79), Angie Dunlap (67) and Krista Null (56).
The Dragons, now 11-5-2, now look to defend their sectional championship as they advance to the final against the Boone Grove-Rochester winner on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET.
