After President Obama's health care law passed in March 2010, I dubbed Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius the "Empress of Obamacare" given the vast powers granted to her under the new law. Now, after wielding that power through the tumultuous rollout of the health care program, Sebelius is resigning, creating an opening for one of the most powerful positions in America.
As I wrote back in a June 2010 story for the American Spectator, "There are more than 2,500 references to the secretary of HHS in the health care law (in most cases she's simply mentioned as 'the Secretary'). A further breakdown finds that there are more than 700 instances in which the Secretary is instructed that she 'shall' do something, and more than 200 cases in which she 'may' take some form of regulatory action if she chooses. On 139 occasions, the law mentions decisions that the 'Secretary determines.' At times, the frequency of these mentions reaches comic heights. For instance, one section of the law reads: 'Each person to whom the Secretary provided information under subsection (d) shall report to the Secretary in such manner as the Secretary determines appropriate.'"
The new secretary of HHS will have the ability to determine when the open enrollment period for the exchanges can begin or end; what type of insurance every American must have; and what constitutes enough of a "hardship" to exempt individuals from the mandate to purchase coverage, among other powers. As HHS secretary, Sebelius has proven herself willing to push the boundaries of her discretion to delay or modify key parts of the law without seeking congressional authorization.
Obama plans to replace Sebelius with current director of the Office of Management and Budget Sylvia Mathews Burwell.
Republicans will no doubt want to turn the focus of her confirmation hearing on Obamacare. But the hearings should, specifically, be used as an opportunity to highlight the vast expansion of power granted to this one official through the health care law.

"I was shocked," Wallace told HOOPSWORLD. "I was kind of disappointed because I didn't see it coming. It was just one of those things that you're not expecting and it catches you off guard." In the hours leading up to the trade deadline, Wallace was confident that he wasn't going anywhere. That's because the decision makers in Charlotte repeatedly told him that he wouldn't be traded. Even on the morning of Feb. 24, the team reiterated that they had no plans to move him.
"This is a great situation for me. Other than Wesley [Matthews], everybody is pretty good," Wallace said before sharing a laugh with Matthews, who was sitting one locker away. "Seriously though, it's a great situation," he said. "It's a good team and they're a good group of guys. They're playoff bound. Everyone is experienced in different situations and this is a very experienced organization. I'm just trying to come here and make the best of my situation."

Well, I don't blame him. He was there for 7 years, and instantly switched. He was the face of the franchise, and was nicknamed "Mr.Bobcat". However, I think he'll eventually love it here. Every Blazer does, except the previous Wallace.

Thousands of partygoers have descended upon a small town in the Netherlands this morning after a 16-year-old girl forgot to make her Facebook party invitation private.
When Merthe Weusthuis made an event for her upcoming birthday party on Facebook, the last thing she expected was for the word to spread rapidly and for 30,000 people to RSVP to the town of Haren where she lives.
Online trolls picked up on the event and ensured the word spread by creating official websites, making movie trailers and T-shirts and called the party "Project X Haren", in reference to a movie about an out-of-control party.
Merthe watched it spiral out-of-control and decided to alert police and go into hiding with her family.
Before the party was due to start, police removed street signs, closed roads and banned the sale of alcohol but it did not appear to make much of a difference.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported the situation was "completely out of hand" as police officers were being hit with bottles and stones and street signs and cars were destroyed in the town, which has a population of 18,000.
The party turned into a riot with six people injured, including two who were seriously hurt. There have been at least 20 arrests so far and it is believed at least one local store was looted.
It started off with thousands of young people in good spirits but became violent in a matter of hours.

First look: Amazon brings MapReduce to the Elastic Cloud
Based on Hadoop, MapReduce equips users with potent distributed data-processing tools
Have you got a few hundred gigabytes of data that need processing? Perhaps a dump of radio telescope data that could use some combing through by a squad of processors running Fourier transforms? Or maybe you're convinced some statistical analysis will reveal a pattern hidden in several years of stock market information? Unfortunately, you don't happen to have a grid of distributed processors to run your application, much less the time to construct a parallel processing infrastructure.
Well, cheer up: Amazon has added Elastic MapReduce to its growing list of cloud-based Web services. Currently in beta, Elastic MapReduce uses Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3) to implement a virtualized distributed processing system based on Apache Hadoop.
[ Read the InfoWorld Test Center's hands-on account of working with Amazon Web Services. | Keep abreast of cloud-computing news by visiting InfoWorld's Cloud Computing channel. ]
The scoop on Hadoop
Hadoop's internal architecture is the MapReduce framework. The mechanics of MapReduce are well documented in a paper by J. Dean and S. Ghemawat [PDF], and a full treatment is beyond the scope of this article. Instead, I'll illustrate by example.
Suppose you have a set of 10 words and you want to count the number of times those words appear in a collection of e-books. Your input data is a set of key/value pairs, the value being a line of text from one of the books and the key being the concatenation of the book's name and the line's number. This set might comprise a few megabytes big -- or gigabytes. MapReduce doesn't much care about size.
You write a routine that reads this input, a pair at a time, and produces another key/value pair as output. The output key is a word (from the original set of 10) and the associated value is the number of times that word appears in the line. (Zero values are not emitted.) This routine is the map part of map/reduce. Its output is referred to as the intermediate key/value pairs.
The intermediate key/value pairs are fed to another function (another "step" in the parlance of MapReduce). For this step, you write a routine that iterates through the intermediate data, sums up the values, and returns a single pair whose key is the word and whose value is the grand total. You don't have to worry about grouping the results of like keys (i.e., gathering all the intermediate key/values for a given word), because Hadoop does that grouping for you in the background.
Specifying the details of a MapReduce job flow follows a simple step-by-step process. The heart is in the second step, where the user defines the input location, output location, and paths to the map and reduce functions. (Click to enlarge.)

Formula 1 has its final few laps, football has the golden goal. Cricket on the other hand, whose gentlemanly games don't really have a similar relationship with adrenaline, only occasionally feature half this excitement. That said, the gentleman's younger, glitzier cousin, Twenty20, has been giving a dose of the above to millions of excitement-starved fans ever since the famous final of its first World Cup in 2007. Half a decade later, cut to the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), and their appetite for chewed nails is perhaps at an all-time high. There have been 18 games that have gone to the last over, highest in the tournament's history.
Sport has the ability to bring out extraordinary, unique behaviour in men, and the last over of a tight Twenty20 match is a phenomenon that's been doing this with intriguing regularity. While the players themselves are swimming in stress and sweat, their captains are trying their best to appear calm and camoflauge their panic inside. Fans are shown praying through compelling visual narratives created by smart broadcasters, commentators add to the brouhaha by excitedly telling us what we already know.
It is a treat to witness MS Dhoni in such a situation, the man whose captaincy has been fed on a diet of tight encounters. His roving eyes and zen expression bear no clues on whom he'll throw the ball to when 14 runs are needed off the last over. Many results justify his means, some culminate in disasters, such as Hilfenhaus giving away 14 runs (and effectively the match) in his last three balls. It is also amusing to watch Sourav Ganguly, with his ever-blinking eyes and dishevelled hair giving away much about his involvement in the game. Talking of captains, Delhi's Gautam Gambhir hasn't been an exemplar of great behaviour, but has managed to win the most of his tight matches; while Harbhajan Singh, the unfitting leader of Mumbai, hasn't looked in-charge.
The team owners are perhaps the most expressive during these final over deciders. While Punjab's Priety Zinta's jumpy outbursts make for superb TV material, Nita Ambani of Mumbai too lets the composure behind her glasses take a hike as things go to the wire. Shah Rukh Khan plays the superstar even in the balcony and the industrialists and their friends get into school boy mode within their crisp blazers.
Lastly, spare a thought about the players themselves, that bowler whose brief is 'nothing but a yorker' and the helmet-clad bundle of nerves the batsman, whose brief is 'nothing but a boundary'. If you emphatically hit a six when three are required off the last ball (a la Rohit Sharma), you're a hero for the night... but if you give away 20-plus in an over (a la Virat Kohli and Ashish Nehra), you're the villian. In Twenty20 cricket, the distance between the sweet spot of the bat and the block-hole is the sole decider of destinies!

They're a bit matchy for my tastes....and I like matchy generally. I like sibsets that start with the same letter. I'm not a fan of Dylan on a girl though, even though I don't mind Devin on a girl (still prefer it on a boy).
The only name I don't like is Declyn, lyn is girly to me and Dec reminds me of dick.

Three storylines
Can the offense keep it floored?
Duke coach David Cutcliffe marveled this week at the efficiency of Georgia Tech's offense, calling it one of the hottest offenses in the country. Tech will likely stick with its quarterback rotation, playing Tevin Washington for two series, then backup Vad Lee for two and then going from there. Last Saturday, the Jackets blocked well, made a number of standout individual plays, had great performance by the A-backs and performed with energy and focus. Consistency, so elusive this season, is the goal.
Which defense will Duke see?
Last Saturday's game against North Carolina's fast-break offense was something of a referendum for the Tech defense – were the improvements shown against Boston College and Maryland real or more a reflection on the opponents' tepid offenses? The defense gave two answers. The first half and the first play of the second half (36 points and 382 yards allowed) and the rest of the game (seven points, not including a touchdown scored by UNC's defense, and 115 yards). Duke, which runs a high-tempo offense like the Tar Heels' and has an effective operator in quarterback Sean Renfree, will test Tech again
What's the Miami score?
Should the Jackets prevail, there will be keen interest in Miami's game against South Florida, which kicks off at 3 p.m. and will be televised on regional sports networks, including Fox Sports South in the Atlanta market. A win over the Bulls will make the Hurricanes bowl eligible, which is the trigger for the school's announcement on a possible self-imposed postseason ban as it faces NCAA sanctions. A Tech win and the bowl ban, which could come as early as Sunday, send the Jackets to the ACC championship game.
A Georgia Tech win would …
Give Tech at least a share of the ACC Coastal title, earn bowl eligibility for the 16th year in a row and avoid the Jackets' first losing home record since 1994.
A Duke win would …
Be the Blue Devils' first over the Jackets since 2003 and first in Atlanta since 1994.
Matchup to watch
Duke offensive line vs. Georgia Tech blitz package
Tech's pass rush has been inconsistent, and some would call that gracious. Duke has been solid in pass protection, allowing one sack per 28.8 pass attempts and giving Renfree time to complete 67.3 percent of his passes. The Jackets' job will be winning first down and forcing hurried throws. The latter will require pass rushers like defensive end Izaan Cross and linebackers Jeremiah Attaochu, Quayshawn Nealy and Brandon Watts to come free quickly enough to challenge Renfree.
History book
Series record: Tech leads 48-30-1
Last meeting: A week after getting knocked out of the Coastal Division race by Virginia Tech, Tech shook free of a tenacious Duke team with a 38-31 win in Durham, N.C. The Jackets took four different 14-point leads, but Duke had the ball on its 34-yard line with 3:44 remaining and a chance to tie. A Jemea Thomas interception ended the rally.
Tweets of the week
"#GTDU12 I hope UM follows 1995 Duke's example. They felt so bad about the Barry Wilson years they self-imposed an 18-year bowl ban."

Duke's D, statistically, is significantly worse than UNCs. Hopefully, we can run the ball at will and mix in the pass to keep them off balance. Just play a clean special teams game and don't turn it over.

Simple. If GT blocks Duke they will score enough points to win.

What's the point of including such a negative tweet in this article? Just to rile us up? To make us look bad?

Dear Dr. Shalala , Please don't put Bowl ban in effect. I can not stomach two consecutive pummelings, followed by another B grade bowl loss.

Maybe we can get Georgia Southern's defense to stay in Athens and play for us next week. Some of them seem to know how to tackle.

This defense doesn't belong in any championship game. The only question would be if they could hold FSU to less than 100.

I am totally behind the Jackets, and have been my entire life. I am very happy they seem to be playing better. But, could the Tech defense possibly be any weaker than they are? I believe that defense to be the worst I have ever seen. If Tech played ANY defense at all, the Jackets would rarely lose.
November 17th, 2012

I agree the defense is pretty bad but if you look across the country, all defenses have been pretty poor. A lot of basketball scores this season. Also, the primary reason Tech's D is struggling is because we can't get those junior college thumb sucking NTs that UGA gets because of our academics. Unfortunately, I don't see that changing any time soon, so I don't really have a solution.

Office of Naval Research takes new approach on OCI
Tuesday - 9/27/2011, 11:10am EDT
Organization conflict of interest.
Essentially, it occurs when a company helps an agency decide what to do, and then bids on the contract to do it. And it's something all agencies want to avoid from their contractors.
The Office of Naval Research has taken action to prevent organizational conflicts of interest.
Mark Bennington, the executive director for acquisition management at the Navy research unit joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris to discuss his department's approach to the thorny issues involved in OCIs.
Bennington said the new guidance would help "level the playing field" for contractors doing business with ONR.

"Autumn burned brightly,
A running flame through the mountains,
a torch flung to the trees.
by Faith Baldwin
There are more and more leaves turning color as the days grow shorter and the temps are cooler. Some of our rose bushes have defied the cold and are still producing blossoms. Hubby has had to turn back the timer in the front hall, which turns on the light on the hutch. The sun sets, now, about quarter of six. In two weeks, we will turn our clocks back one hour when we return to Standard Time. Hubby and I planted some purple grape hyacinths and some yellow and pink tulips on a beautiful day last week. We placed the hyacinths close to the front gate and the tulips on the side of the house that gets the most sun. I don't mind grape hyacinths outside but cannot bring them in the house because of their pungent odor.
No sooner did we come home from our wonderful trip to Indian Head, than we had to pack our suitcases for an equally wonderful trip to Cape Cod with Eileen Collins and her friends. It just happened that our trips were one following the other. For our second trip, we were going to go to the Irish Village in West Yarmouth. We already had been at the new Irish Village and loved it. There was one added feature to this trip. We had our own car and could come and go during the day as we pleased.
As usual, we shopped our way down to the Cape. We almost stopped just over the Sagamore Bridge until we noticed that the mall had been completely demolished. We learned later that there would soon be a Market Basket Store in that spot. Many years ago, Hubby and I shopped at the Market Basket Store in Chelsea and liked the prices and especially the quality of the produce. We stopped going there when the construction on the Zakim Bridge began and it took too long to get over and back.
We took the exit to Hyannis and made runs into K Mart, the big Christmas Tree Shop, and the Job Lot Store near the rotary. We knew that dinner on Monday was not part of our package so we stopped at Friendly's. We arrived at the Irish Village just about 5:30 p.m. While Hubby went into the office to register, I sat out in the car facing Route 28. I was watching three tall trees in front of me. There was a loud noise that frightened these birds and at least 50 flew out from the branches from one of the trees. All I could think of was the Alfred Hitchcock movie, "The Birds."
We got our key cards and went to our room which overlooked the outdoor pool. We called the front desk and discovered that our pals Eileen Collins, Mary Scarborough, Marie Schalmo, and Marilyn Ferrara were on the other side of the hall from us. We found that Mary Keeley, Barbara Sullivan, and Pat Devilly were in the room next door. Roy and May Crawford were in our wing. So were Joe and Barbara Scarborough. We went to the dining area and were entertained by the McTeggarts, a terrific Irish duo. (Jimmy Byrne is from Cork; Mike O'Brien, from Dublin.) We had seen them the last time we had been at the Irish Village. They played almost all the Irish music that most of us knew. We were so good that the McTeggarts would keep quiet at times and let us sing parts of their songs. As soon as we got back to our room on Tuesday evening, daughter Sue called to give us the results of the District 3 City Council elections. She told us that Baker had 31.5 percent of the total vote; O'Toole, 25.8 percent. Hubby went across the hall and gave the results to pal Eileen.
While we were down the Irish Village, we took advantage of the lovely indoor pool. Hubby, however, was in the hot tub before I could even get into the pool. Most of us congregated near the hot tub because the warm water was splashing over the wall and into the cooler pool water. I began chatting with a lovely gal from Salem. She and her husband were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. They were with friends who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. We told her all about the Irish Festival at Adams Corner. We knew she would enjoy it.
We were sorry to leave the Irish Village; we had such a good time. Our friends were great. The meals were wonderful. We had a terrific time having fun with Tom McCormack, who seats everyone in the dining area. There were several evenings when the staff fed four busloads of travelers. The staff is amazing to watch. They have everything down to a science, serving the food, and clearing off the tables for the next busload of travelers. To thank Tom for being so nice to us, our group bought several boxes of Stage Stop fudge for him. (He loves fudge!) We will miss sleeping later in the morning (to 7:30 a.m.) We enjoyed the meals with our pals and the entertainment in the evenings. We thank pal Eileen for organizing the trip to the Irish Village.
I was sorry to read of the death of Frederick MacDonald. Fred served as a state representative from 1972 to 1974. I knew Fred from the Dorchester Historical Society, where he had served as vice president. Hubby and I would meet Fred at some social gatherings. When Fred lived in Canton, he knew Hubby's buddy Al Cronin, who worked in the Boston Schools with Hubby for years. We send our sympathy to Fred's sister Elizabeth Bombas and to his cousin "Little" Fred MacDonald. Fred was always such a nice person. We really enjoyed speaking with him.
I was also sorry to read of the death of Russell Steinbach Sr. on Oct. 16 in Florida. Russ was the former owner of Steinbach's Service Station, at the corner of Adams and Gibson Streets. I always heard that people trusted him in fixing their cars. I send my sympathy to his wife Marie and to their children Russ Jr. and Donna.
Last Thursday, Hubby and I were driving along Day Boulevard in South Boston and saw an electric sign that said that Old Ironsides would be turning around on Friday at 11 a.m. We never miss a chance to see that beautiful ship so we were in our car before 10:30 a.m. on Friday morning. We were able to get to South Boston in a very short time because traffic at that time of morning had subsided. Hubby dropped me off in front of Sully's while he went to find a parking spot. (There were many more cars than usual on this fall morning.) Hubby caught up with me as I walked. We saw a Boston Police boat just ahead of us as we walked. Hubby hurried up the hill and yelled to me, "She's coming now; she's early." He came down the hill quickly and we double-timed the rest of the way. (Oh, my tender knees!) Hubby took out his camera as the Boston Fire Dept.'s boat sailed past the fish pier, spewing five columns of water into the air in honor of the ship. Then along came Old Ironsides, being pushed slowly by a tug boat. What a sight! She gave me goose bumps.
There were quite a few people on board the ship as she passed the fish pier where there were about 50 people waiting for her to arrive. Everyone, except the little kids, was there with a camera. Hubby is tall so he could shoot photos over the heads of people in front of him. Every once in a while, a rainbow would appear in the columns of water that the Fire Dept.'s boat was shooting in the air. Hubby caught several photos with the rainbows quite distinctly shown. The crew of the ship, as it passed the fort on Castle Island, shot off the ship's cannons. The soldiers, who were on the hill in front of the fort, gave the ship a 21-gun salute. Hubby took photos of the ship as the crew shot off their guns, (I jumped every time the loud cannons in front of the fort let loose.) Once again, Hubby caught a photo of the fire coming out of one of the three cannons on land. What a photo! All the while the ship was in the area of the fish pier, there was a helicopter overhead. We were not sure if it was for security reasons or if it was a news helicopter. There were at least three smaller Boston Police boats near the ship as she sailed past us. We are so happy that we came early to catch this incredible sight, Old Ironsides sailing once again.
Of course, to reward ourselves for seeing Old Ironsides, Hubby and I treated ourselves to lunch at Sully's. The hot dogs, fries, and coffee tasted great on that cool day. Almost everyone else who had been on the pier thought the same as we did and had lunch at Sully's on that beautiful day.
Hubby has removed the screen and put the glass in our front storm door. Almost all the storm windows are down. He pulled down the storm window on the sun porch. This week, between rainstorms, he will pull out the tomato stakes before the ground freezes. The Halloween candy is in a bowl near the front door. Once again, I bought Tootsie Pops so I won't eat them. If I had bought a bag of Snickers or any other chocolate bar, they might not have made it to Halloween.
I hope that all our children have a happy and safe Halloween!

Hot Topic Tuesday: How Do You Feel About Restaurant Special Orders?
Written on April 3, 2012 at 5:29 pm , by Karla Walsh
Later this week, pizza giant Domino's will begin airing commercials that, in the words of Amy Winehouse, will say "no, no, no" to customers who want to make special orders. While slice lovers can still top as they please on regular pies, they must order artisan pizzas as-is. According to Domino's, their chefs have worked so hard to balance the flavors—and they want diners to experience them just that way.
Many higher-end restaurants have had a "no special order" policy for years, with management citing kitchen efficiency or chef preference as the cause. As a special orderer myself (hold the mayo, please), I appreciate having the option to slightly tweak the menu offerings to suit my tastes and dietary preferences. I figure if I'm making small requests while being polite and leaving a larger tip, it should all work out. But Domino's and others seem to think otherwise.
How about you: Do you feel that those who request different preparations are being too picky? Or do you like the option to make your meal you own?

Cuts Could Slow Postal Service in MississippiBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 05 Dec 2011 04:26pm |
Newly announced cuts at the post office could mean slower mail delivery in Mississippi next year. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports that the newest plan could involve closing roughly half of the post office distribution centers.
The move could save the agency about 3-billion dollars, but post office spokes woman Enola Rice says that means stamped mail will travel further and cannot be delivered overnight.
"When we talk about first class mail that means mail with a first class stamp on it. And instead of 1-to-3 days, it will take between 2-and-3 days," Rice said.
Rice says costumers can still pay for the premium overnight delivery service.
These cuts are part of a larger 6-billion dollar package of reductions the postal service is considering to avoid bankruptcy, such as closing 37-hundred post offices including more than 60 in Mississippi.
North Station Post Office in Jackson is on the list of potential closures.
While entering the post office with a stack of bills, 72-year old Will Williams worries that the cuts will make it extremely to use the service.
"It is a necessity for everybody to pay their bills through the post office. There is no other way. Everybody doesn't have a computer system in their home to pay by computer. The next best thing is by mail," Williams said.
Postal union workers have rallied in protest of the cuts saying it will harm the service especially for people in rural areas where post offices could be miles apart.
At a recent rally in Jackson, postal employee Earnest Wallace says the cuts would undermine the post office's ability to function.
"If the communication is out, like we have several tornadoes or a hurricane and everything is down, who would you communicate? The mail ran everyday. So that is one good thing about the mail, we are going to be there no matter what. Rain, Sleet or snow we deliver," Wallace said.
While the post office maintains that they are still considering the cuts, one change will happen for sure...the cost of a postage stamp will increase by one penny to 45 cents in late January.

Veneto is a northern territory of Italy, which stretches from the lagoon area of Venice to the peaks of the Dolomites of Cadore. The natural, artistic and architectural beauty of the region has ensured that Veneto, Italy and the rental apartments in Veneto attract more visitors than any other area of the country. Rental accommodation in Veneto can put you on the beautiful coast or high up in the mountains in one of the timeless mountain villages.
There are 200km of sandy beaches in Veneto, including the cleanest beach in Italy, Caorle. Another two beaches have gained a reputation as being exquisite in the area, and these are the beaches of Jesolo and Lido. All the usual watersports are available at various destinations along the coast.
Partially in Veneto is Lake Garda, a beautiful lake, whose shores are dotted with the lakeside resorts of Lazise, Bardolino and Garda. These are very peaceful, tranquil resorts, where the main purpose is to relax. Further to these destinations, the thermal baths at Abano can really help recuperation!
A weekend break in Veneto allows you access to the fabulous cities which have gained most notoriety as holiday destinations. Venice, Verona and Vicenza are all on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
The most popular destination for Veneto holidays is Venice. Made of 122 islands, 150 canals and 400 bridges in a shallow lagoon, Venice is a unique city. It has an incredible wealth of artistic and cultural heritage and there are some fantastic restaurants in Venice and Venetian apartments. The rural residencies of Venetian nobles were designed and painted by famous architects of the day, and had vast gardens for entertaining. Many of the Villas of Venice, like the Villa Barboro and Villa Cornaro are available for viewing. By hiring a gondola, a guide can take you to see many of the sights, including Doge's Palace, the Basilica di San Marco, Ca d'Oro and The Arsenal.
Verona also has many buildings of great historical importance. The Roman amphitheatre is still largely intact, and is even used for opera and theatre during the summer. The medieval architecture, like that of the Basilica de San Zeno Maggiore, is considered some of the best achievements of Romanesque architecture in Italy.
Vicenza has the highest concentration of historic buildings in Italy, and boasts the oldest surviving indoor theatre (the Tetro Olimpico). The city is also famed for its gold. Goldsmiths in Vicenza produce half of Italy's gold ware.
Padova and Treviso can also boast a wealth of historic art. The most complete set of frescos by Giotto are in Padova, and the ornate vaulted ceilings in Treviso are essential viewing for lovers of Romanesque-Gothic architecture.
Belluno is a mountainous province containing the National Park of Belluno Dolomites. The town of Belluno sits majestically in the mountains looking over the lush valley of Piave, and the villages dotted along its sides. It is also the place for skiing in the winter. The resort of Nevegal is very close, and offers good skiing, and excellent cross-country tracks.
Due to the geographical variations across Veneto, there is no strict rule for the climate in this part of Italy. Venice has warm summers, with average temperatures around 26°C, but harsh winters. In the mountain areas it does get very cold, and snow is usually abundant.
The Marco Polo International Airport (VCE) in Venice services the area, and there are regular flights from the UK."

It's Christmas, a time for giving. So I'm doing the giving! And what a gift…
Just like BookieMonster on Facebook and enter the draw to win your very own copy of The Laughterhouse by Paul Cleave!
From the author of the international best-selling thrillers The Cleaner, The Killing Hour, Cemetery Lake, Blood Men and Collecting Cooper.
A gripping new thriller from crime writing sensation Paul Cleave.
Theodore Tate never forgot his first crime scene – ten-year-old Jessica found dead in the 'Laughterhouse', an old abandoned slaughterhouse with the 'S' spray-painted over. The killer was found and arrested. Justice was served. Or was it?
Fifteen years later, there's a new killer on the loose and he has a list of people who were involved in Jessica's murder case, among them Doctor Stanton, a man with three young daughters.
If Tate is going to help them, he has to find the connection between the killer, the 'Laughterhouse' and a growing list of murder victims. And he needs to figure it out fast, because Stanton and his daughters have been kidnapped, and Stanton is being forced to make an impossible decision: which one of his daughters is to die first.

A Good Thing - Aug. 1, 2010
Day 1 Theme: God & His Attributes
Mercy shall be built up forever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens - Psalm 89:2
The Scriptures abound with declarations that God is faithful. Since we live in a world that is constantly changing and face many disappointments along the way, it is reassuring to be reminded of the faithfulness of God. One definition of the word faithful is "worthy of trust," and this is certainly applicable to God because He has repeatedly proven that His word is sure and that He can be trusted.
The Apostle Paul reminds us that God cannot lie. Because He is holy it is impossible for Him to declare anything but truth or make any promise that will not be kept. It may seem to us at times that God has forgotten us. David experienced such a doubt but then admitted he had spoken in haste. We must remember that God works on His own timetable and just because we do not see immediate evidence of His promise being fulfilled it does not mean He has forsaken us.
No matter how bleak your future may appear you can be assured that God's promise is certain when He says, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." In spite of your sufferings and trials you can have confidence that He will be with you and even use the difficulties to teach you and draw you closer to Him.
Because of God's faithfulness you can have bright expectations. He will not let anything separate you from Him. He is keeping you by His power. Having begun a good work in you, He will not abandon it but will bring it to consummation so that one day you will be safe home to live with Him forever. Surely you can lift your heart in praise to sing, "Great is thy faithfulness."

Can Money Buy Happiness?
Maybe more cash does make people happier. Especially salient are analyses done by University of Pennsylvania economists Daniel Sacks, Betsey Stevenson, and Justin Wolfers. In their updated 2010 study, "Subjective Well-Being, Income, Economic Development and Growth," the three compare subjective well-being survey data from 140 countries with those countries' income and economic growth rates. The researchers find that within individual countries richer people are happier than poorer; people in richer countries are happier than people in poorer countries; and over time increased economic growth leads to increased happiness. "These results together suggest that measured subjective well-being grows hand in hand with material living standards," they conclude..

baali omarFeb 9 2013: hello Mohammed,
I think that when we're talking about society the money plays an important role and has a direct impact on making the population feel the happiness and the satisfaction,it's important to mention that in the rich societies there are a lot of facilities and entertainment and this contribute on reducing the leisure of the population and this lead to the bliss , however in poor countries the life style is always the same and the population don't find ways to spend their time and as you know 'nature abhors a vacuum' so the people in this case are going to fill this vacuum with delinquency violence.
Feb 10 2013: ..rich societies there are a lot of facilities and entertainment and this contribute on reducing the leisure of the population and this lead to the bliss ...
I live in a rich society but I can't afford to enjoy the products of that rich society. I make just enough to not be poor. I can't attend the opera even though I love classical music because a ticket cost $100.00. If I took my wife it would be $200.00. That is well beyond my means for us to help support the classics. So who is supporting them? The rich are. Where did the rich get all that money when they don't do any work to make that money? They invest the money they have. How does one get money to invest? They inherit it or their family hires them at a very high salary to perform a job they are not competent to preform. Not always but it happens often enough.
Capitalism destroys the earth. Socialism maintains it and puts something back.

The Texas Rush is the only club that offers the highest level of competitive youth soccer for both boys and girls in the city of Houston (ECNL – Girls / USSDA – Boys) and is based in The Woodlands, TX – the fastest growing, #1 ranked master built community in the USA.
The Texas Rush Soccer Club is proud to provide a number of programs outside the normal realm of training, competition, and soccer related activities. One of these programs is the College Advisory Program, or C.A.P.
Texas Rush is renowned internationally and domestically pertaining to the development of both female and male soccer players and the educational guidance they provide their players in the college recruiting process. The individual support and consistent guidance we provide our student-athletes throughout this process is second to none. College recruitment and the entire eligibility process from grade 9-12 is becoming harder to navigate for any student-athlete and their family. Each student-athlete is completely unique and has a wide array of different goals and expectations. The Texas Rush staff recognizes these facts and can help provide a concrete roadmap, which has a well-balanced lifestyle of academics and soccer choices at the collegiate level (NCAA Division I, II, III / NAIA / NJCAA).
The Rush College Advisory Program (C.A.P.) was started in 2006 and the club is extremely proud that they have placed over 100+ student-athletes in collegiate soccer across the nation. The networking contacts that the current Rush staff extend to all geographic areas in the country throughout all levels of collegiate soccer. The reputation of Rush Soccer amongst the collegiate coaching staff is very well respected and trusted. We continually provide honest, open and realistic communication to the student-athlete and the college coach in terms of a player's ability level and character.
Rush coaches are well educated in the recruiting process including all NCAA / NAIA / NJCAA rules, regulations, and restrictions. Our staff continues to be committed to assisting all of our student- athletes in finding a pathway to college and furthering their academic and athletic dreams.
The program is set up to serve the college bound player in a number of different areas. Starting with the freshmen year of high school and continuing through their senior year, this program provides guidance in areas such as:
The Texas Rush will continue to commit in sending the correct age appropriate teams (U15+) to a wide array of respected tournaments / college showcases throughout the year based upon comparable competition levels. By providing multiple opportunities to be seen by college coaches will only enhance the chances of getting onto a collegiate roster and being recruited. The following list below is currently being used as a template of the club's tournament choices:

There is an epidemic of obesity in this country, health experts say. But what is obesity? How is it measured?
People can become obese by taking in more calories than they burn. Obesity also appears to be influenced by genetics. This video discusses the health risks associated with obesity and what treatment and lifestyle changes are commonly recommended.
Obesity doesn't just affect how you look or how you fit into your clothes. It affects how you feel about yourself, which can lead to social isolation and depression. It also can have a serious medical impact, causing type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease, liver disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, heart disease, sleep apnea and arthritis, among other conditions, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
Determining Your Body Mass IndexYour BMI gives a fairly accurate assessment of how much of your body is composed of fat.
Metabolism's Weighty RoleTo stay at the same weight you were when you were younger, you just need to keep doing what you've always done—and maybe a bit more.
Obesity Treatment OverviewWhatever treatment plan a person follows, losing weight slowly will be more effective and healthy over the long term.
What's Your Healthy Weight?In today's society, there's much confusion over what constitutes a healthy weight. Here are some ways to find out where you stand on the weight issue.

Employees at a southern Indiana nature center got a sneezy surprise.
The Wesselman Woods Nature Center in Evansville, Indiana welcomed a new snake to their preserve on Tuesday.
According to a Facebook post, the new addition to the nature center family decided to do a jail break late that very same night.
Representatives say she broke out of her latched box and was found cozied up in a box of tissues by a nature center employee on Wednesday morning.
The snake is fine but she's staying in the box for now.

Celebrity Faves! Baby Clothes
We used to obsess over who wore what on the red carpet. But now it's all about who wore what to the playground. Celebrity baby styles have come into their own over the past few years. Here's how to give your baby's wardrobe a little Hollywood flair...
JillyBean Green Organic Cotton Bodysuit
This hip bodysuit will make your little one the most earth-friendly baby on the block! Created by a green-minded Los Angeles mom whose designing efforts are a hit with some of her very famous Tinseltown neighbors such as Jennifer Garner and Kate Hudson.
Lola et Moi Flower Dress
This line of funky and fashionable clothes for baby girls is perfect for future fashionistas. Feminine, color-drenched separates are dressed up with ruffle trims and whimsical appliqués. Celeb fans include Salma Hayek and Katie Holmes.
ElegantBaby Cable Knit Jumpsuit
When Gwen Stefani took part in the "Hand Me Down" celebrity auction to help other moms in need, among the gently used baby gear she parted with was this warm and cozy ElegantBaby® jumpsuit worn by son Zuma. This snugly suit is perfect for cold weather wear.
Cotton Basics Clothing Collection
Halle Berry and Milla Jovovich like these form-fitting cotton separates that are durable, super-soft, and come in gender neutral earth tones for easy mix-and-match style. We love their minimalist look and clean lines when layered together.
UV Baby Skinz
When it's time for fun in the sun, these colorful swim separates and hats come with built in UV protection. Matthew McConaughey's son Levi wears his when he tags along with his beach loving dad. And Marcia Cross loves them for her two fair haired little girls.
How does Jessica Alba keep her kids' clothes stain-free? With this really great bib from DaBib™. Built with a signature collar to keep food out and a pocket to prevent food from dripping down Baby's legs, this waterproof and oversized bib has your baby covered!

KicKee Pants
Entertainment blogger Perez Hilton wasn't shy about sharing photos of his precious—and well-dressed—newborn with the world. Among the adorable outfits in the baby's wardrobe was this striped coverall by KicKee Pants. Made of bamboo fabric, the coverall is touted as super soft.
pediped Shoes
Soft and rubber-soled infant and children's shoes by Pediped have earned a seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association. The family-run shoe company has attracted famous customers such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Tia Mowry, and Trista Sutter with their stylish and healthy footwear lines.
Wunway Penelope Overalls
To adopt a celebrity look when Baby gets bigger, consider Wunway Penelope Overalls. Seraphina Affleck, daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, was seen wearing the gray, cotton overalls while taking a stroll with her dad.
MonkeyBar Buddies
MonkeyBar Buddies makes ruffled diaper covers for babies and comfy shorts, leggings, capris, and pants for toddlers and older kids. Tiffani Thiessen and Stephen Moyer are fans.
Babiators sunglasses feature a flexible, rubber frame and are shatter -resistant while still offering eye protection from UVA and UVB rays. The baby-friendly shades are the kids' eyewear of choice for Mariah Carey, Hillary Duff, and Neil Patrick Harris.
Doodle Pants
They may look like standard, colorful leggings from the front, but in the back—right on a baby's bottom—Doodle Pants feature whimsical designs ranging from elephants to cupcakes. Count Jessica Simpson and her daughter Maxwell as fans of the brand. The pants are available in sizes ranging from 3 months to two years.
