How to draw SAND SWIRL. By Linda Farmer, CZT Here's another tangle pattern I just love and I think you will too.
It's simple, it's flexible, and it's mesmerizing to draw. It's great fun to shade too. Sand Swirl is from Karry Heun who shared her Summer Sitter tangle with us earlier this year. This tangle is so much fun to draw and in true Zentangle® style, there's no thinking or planning involved. Here is Karry's step-by-step illustration for drawing Sand Swirl.

Im trying to edit css for the text fields in the form but nothing is working. they have what looks like a greyish gradient in them and nothing will change it. Funny thing is when I try to use "web developer toolbar" to figure it out the "gradient" just disappears so I can't tell if I have actually changed it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

10. Mr. Peabody & Sherman – $ 1.8 million ($ 105.2 million total)
The Big Stories
Captain America was supposed to lord over April. At least if you listened to me. With such a potentially weak crop of competition and good word-of-mouth on the latest Marvel venture, it seemed strong enough to be that rare film that sits atop the box office for 4 straight weeks. But on Friday it looked like Kramer after getting pushed down by Elaine in front of his child classmates in karate class. Actually it did not look that bad, but it was a tad surprising that it could be overtaken by an animated sequel to a film many people had to be reminded existed in the first place. But Steve Rogers mounted a Hulk Hogan-like rally on Saturday and Sunday and managed to best that, oh, what's its name again?
"And She Dances In The Sand"
That film was Rio. It's sequel? Rio 2. The first film opened nearly two years ago to the day, a week before Easter weekend and started with a healthy $ 39.2 million that made it the fifth highest April opening ever. (Fast Five dropped it to sixth two weeks later.) While Captain America: The Winter Soldier became the all-time champ in that regard, Rio 2 seemed like it was back to reclaim the fifth spot on the April list of openers, but it fell back a bit to nearly match the original's opening and now ranks just behind it at 8th on the list.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($ 95.0), Fast Five ($ 86.1), Fast and Furious ($ 70.9), Clash of the Titans 2010 ($ 61.2), Anger Management ($ 42.2), Scary Movie 4 ($ 40.2), Rio ($ 39.2), Rio 2 ($ 39.0), Hop ($ 37.5), Oblivion ($ 37.0)
Even better news for the film is that competition for the family dollar is pretty clear until Maleficent opens at the end of May. (We're not counting whatever Legends of Oz is supposed to be.) It should have no problem making its way to $ 100 million and may even match the original's $ 143 million. Actually the better news is for Fox, who haven't had a real major success since last summer's The Wolverine. Its co-venture with Dreamworks, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, remains one of the big losers of the year (despite its $ 240 million worldwide.) Rio 2 is already over its first $ 100 globally and if it comes close to the first film's $ 484 million (it has taken in $ 125 million overseas so far), the studio can take a few breaths on getting into the black on the year. And then start sweating all over again as X-Men: Days of Future Past is primed to have the second biggest production budget in studio history behind Avatar.
How Is Captain America Really Doing?
Fine. That is the short answer. For now I will even hold on to the assertion that it can still be the year's biggest movie until How To Train Your Dragon 2 overtakes it. Is that still possible? That depends on what you believe The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is capable of its first weekend and whether or not X-Men does early X-Men numbers or more recent X-Men numbers. Captain America: The Winter Soldier currently ranks 15th on the Marvel Universe list. After 10 days in release, this is where it is:
The Avengers ($ 373.0), Iron Man 3 ($ 284.9), Spider-Man 3 ($ 240.2), Spider-Man 2 ($ 225.1), Spider-Man ($ 223.0), Iron Man 2 ($ 211.2), Iron Man ($ 177.8), X-Men: The Last Stand ($ 175.3), The Amazing Spider-Man ($ 165.8), Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($ 159.0), X2: X-Men United ($ 147.6), Thor: The Dark World ($ 145.0), X-Men Origins: Wolverine ($ 129.0), Thor ($ 119.4), Captain America: The First Avenger ($ 117.4)
Somewhere in-between $ 215 & $ 262 million is likely the answer for The Winter Soldier's final resting place. Its first hurdle is to make the $ 251 million that The Lego Movie pulled in. Then it is dependent on Spider-Man not equaling that $ 95 million start, which some are suggesting based on tracking numbers. It may take until Apr. 25 for Cap to hit $ 200 million in the U.S. and then will lose most of what audience it has left when Spidey opens, meaning that everything may still be awesome for Master Builder rather than Captain America in the home country. But worldwide it will be well over $ 500 million (it is already at $ 476 million) and good enough for #1.
Tales of the Top Ten
There were two more films opening this weekend. Relativity's Oculus was picked up for peanuts out of the Toronto Film Festival last year. The horrendously awful horror film is nevertheless already in profit by taking in a simple $ 12 million. Behind it was Summit's ferociously advertised Draft Day, which ended up trailing the field with just $ 9.7 million, putting it more with Swing Vote ($ 6.2 million) and Mr. Brooks ($ 10.0 million) than 3 Days to Kill ($ 12.2 million) which is just sad.
Summit has bigger fish to fry, though, with the performance of Divergent. $ 140 million in the U.S. (which seems its ceiling) is hardly the kind of smash hit they were hoping for. Though it has only recently started its overseas run, it is still about $ 60 million away from breaking into profit for the studio. Is it any wonder why it announced it was breaking the final chapter into two films? The appeal is clearly limited and it will not win any new fans going forward. The sequel is going to get hit much harder with competition next March and likely will not make as much as the first film. Splitting Part 3 into a Part 4 may be all the studio can do to save face on a venture that was nowhere near the quality of The Hunger Games and not soap opera dopey enough as Twilight to entice love-starved women of all ages.
Then we have Paramount's Noah which has gone from disaster-in-the-making to success story to disappointment again. Assuming the $ 125 million price tag is accurate, disappointment is the best description. Disappointment that the studio didn't have enough faith in it to get critics on board with them early. Disappointment that those who could not be bothered to see the film are the ones doing the most talking about it; mostly with mistruths. Disappointment that it could be the first film to open with over $ 43 million and not reach $ 100 million in the U.S. Oh how the wickedness of man has struck back against the Creator.

Is free and open code a form of infrastructure? How about the humans who write it?
I was looking at what my friend Stephen Lewis wrote in HakPakSak a few days ago specifically "...newspapers' roles as public trusts and cornerstones of our informational infrastructure i.e. sources of solid information and independent commentary essential to informed citizenry, democratic government, effective public policy, and well-functioning economies".. What this brought up for me is the notion that human beings are themselves infrastructural; especially when they are constuctive contributors to the structure we call civilization.
Here in the free software and open source (FOSS) worlds, we're used to making, and employing, building materials that are products of human mentation. There are dependencies here, and the primary ones are on the human beings who write code. And patch it. And rewrite it. And continue to improve it, making it more and more useful.
In responding to an earlier piece of mine, Alex Flether writes about what he calls "inter-lockin" a kind of positive lock-in among constructive yet constantly changing parts. What he's doing there is exploring the market mechanics of open source development. These mechanics are hard to understand from a pure dollars-and-cents perspective. Several years ago a high-ranking executive at IBM told me it took a number of years to discover that the company couldn't tell its Linux kernel hackers what to do; and that if anything it was the other way around. Again, dependencies.
But what does the code itself depend on? What are the first sources of open code's enormous "because effects"?
I think this is a subject we need to bear in mind as we come to debate matters as wide ranging as media ownership (newspapers, for example) and health care, over the next few years (during and beyond the next major election cycle). In his piece on newspapers, Steve Lewis writes, "Bottom-line and marketing-oriented decisions eviscerate the staffing, resources, and integrity that make newspapers what they are at their best." That same kind of thinking would never allow free and open source code to be written in the first place. Oddly, many companies today, especially large ones, look toward FOSS as a way to cheap out to replace costly stuff with cost-free stuff. They don't get what free and open code is really about, and how it works, and why you need to value (and support) its sources. This lack of understanding is very similar to that of newspaper owners who cut costs by junking their most valuable sources which are not the advertisers.
The success of FOSS requires that we start looking at the sources of sources: human beings, doing constructive work. What kind of public policies might grow on the realization that the sources that matter most are the people who comprise as well as build civilization? What kind of businesses? What kind of civic and public institutions?
There's a bottom here a foundation. But you can't necessarily see it from the bottom line of a company's balance sheet.
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
I always considered that the
I always considered that the open code - is a step forward in civilisation development. Therefore I agree with the author of article.
Come on my site:
Yes, people are
Yes, people are infrastructure! ! !
S. Lewis
I tend to agree with what Stephen Lewis wrote. Very insightful.
Be careful with this
Newspapers are not infrastructure. They are frangible - a newspaper company is "easy" to set up, and one company can replace another which has lost its effectiveness and vision, or New Media forms (blogosphere) can replace newspapers. Rather, information flow is essential to free societies, whatever the means. "Health care" is also not infrastructure; doctors and their clinics come and go, organizations set up hospitals to meet a need. It isn't until the government decides something is infrastructure - and controls it - that it becomes "infrastructure". Like the telephone network, or gas/water/electric services in cities like Tucson, or "public" transit. The Internet is intrastructure in a sense like the telephone network, even though the backbones are largely company-financed and the protocols are free rather than centrally mandated. Do we want the Internet coopted by national governments, or the UN? Do we want the government to control (in any way at all) how Open Source is developed, and what gets developed, and by whom?
Users who script
Although you talk about coding, it is IT professionals who perform this service.
The users also create their own special purpose building blocks through the use of scripting applications. We all know the reason it is difficult for some commercial enterprises to migrate to Open Office that their user scripted macros don't work without a lot of fiddling, and maybe the original writers have left the company.
Beside OO macros, Linux supplies us with the ubiquitous shell, that wonderful tool used back in the last century by the clerks at Bell Labs to do their own information processing, which will be used again by a new breed of power users as Linux becomes one of the user's desktop tools of choice.
For these non coder mentalists, all that they require to complete their happiness is a scripted GUI builder to window their shells.
Once education starts, just imagine the explosion of independent ideas in your civilization.
I was really digging your point about humans ARE infrastruture.
I look forward to your future thoughts on inter-lockin'. I think that is the best feature of open source code. The way that linux plays nice with apache that plays nice with php, perl, python. Of course apache plays nice with tomcat which plays nice with linux and java. The phpBB plays nice with all of them. So does phpmyadmin and mysql.
This is an embarrassingly small list, but quite significant. With technologies like AJAX, we are poised for a completely new software landscape.
I may be defining inter-lockin wrong. so debug that if you wish.
But I really enjoyed your thoughts on the journalism metaphor. I consider open source to be a people powered movement, like the blogesphere (both right and left), and journalism, or at least what journalism should be. People-powered medicine has found cures for disease. People-powered engineering has built the brick and mortar institutions we have come to depend on. People-powered collective action defines democracy.
Look forward to hearing more, thanks

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Pick your fetish - blood, pregnant chicks, girls killing guys, loads of nudity and fuckin', goth types, knives, dungeons, horny alien chicks - it's all here and much more. While the story line is nothing to talk about (literally), there are some hot babes, and they spend a large amount of time naked and/or having sex.
A nice curiosity, and it's always great to see hotties bare their flesh. Don't waste time examining the story line.
Retailing: Hot fetishy softcore for the B-movie sect.

Kenya Debt Costs Soar as Shilling Drop Stokes Inflation
Kenya's borrowing costs rose as the government of East Africa's biggest economy boosts spending to a record and the nation's currency sinks to a five-month low against the dollar, threatening to spur inflation.
Yields on three-month Treasury bills climbed for the fifth time at an auction today, increasing 57 basis points to 6.86 percent, an eight-week high, the Nairobi-based central bank said in an e-mailed statement. The rate compares with 5.19 percent for South Africa, Africa's largest economy, and 12.6 percent for Kenya's neighbor Tanzania.
Treasury Secretary Henry Rotich plans to spend 1.6 trillion shillings ($18 billion) in the fiscal year through June 2014, pushing the budget deficit to 7.9 percent of gross domestic product from 6.5 percent. Kenya's economy is forecast to expand 6 percent this year, the fastest pace in six years, compared with 4.6 percent in 2012. Kenya created a new tier of government after March elections that formed 47 county governments, while boosting minimum wages by 14 percent from May. The shilling has weakened 1.7 percent this month against the dollar, Africa's worst performer after Ghana's cedi.
"Rising public wages, the expanded budget due to new governance structures and a weakening shilling will create inflationary pressures," Angus Downie, the London-based head of Ecobank Plc's economic desk, said by phone July 19. Inflation may reach 8.5 percent by year-end, he said, breaching the upper end of government's target range.
Rates Hold
The central bank's Monetary Policy Committee, led by Governor Njuguna Ndung'u, retained the benchmark interest rate at 8.5 percent at a meeting on July 9. The central bank has cut the rate from 11 percent since the beginning of the year. Inflation accelerated to 4.9 percent in June from 4.1 percent in the previous month, staying below the government's objective of 5 percent, plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
Kenya's shilling weakened 0.1 percent to 87.40 per dollar as of 5:03 p.m. in Nairobi, for a decline of 1.5 percent this year. The central bank has been selling repurchase agreements and term auction deposits almost daily to drain liquidity from the market and support the currency. Rates on 182-day securities rose for a fourth auction yesterday, increasing 31 basis points to 6.79 percent, the highest since June 5.
Yields on the sixth-month bills may increase to 7.5 percent by the end of the year, John Kamunya, head of research at StratLink Africa Ltd., a risk consultancy based in Nairobi, said by phone on July 17. The shilling will end the year at 88 shillings per dollar, he said.
Upward Trajectory
"The yields will maintain an upward trajectory as the government borrows to meet the large budget deficit," Kamunya said. Domestic borrowing will decline to 106.7 billion shillings in fiscal 2014 from 165 billion shillings this year, which rose from a target 96 billion shillings because of increased wages for state workers and election spending, the government said.
The world's largest exporter of black tea may delay the sale of $1 billion of Eurobonds by more than a month to the final quarter to appoint advisers, the National Treasury said July 19. The issuance, which follows similar plans by other African nations including Senegal and Ghana, will be used to fund the deficit and finance the construction of railway and power-generation projects. Rwanda in April became the first East African country to sell a Eurobond, raising $400 million.
The international bond will help ease some of the burden off Treasury bill yields, allowing the government to spread its local borrowing through the fiscal year, Irungu Nyakera, the regional head of East & Southern Africa at London-based Frontier Markets Fund Managers, a unit of Standard Bank Group Ltd., said by phone on July 17. Still, rates on three-month bills will increase to around 7 percent by year-end, he said.
Higher Compensation
Yields on dollar-denominated African debt have jumped 120 basis points to 5.46 percent yesterday, compared with a 107 basis-point increase in emerging-market bonds, JPMorgan Chase & Co. data show. Kenya is rated B1 at Moody's Investors Services, four levels below investment grade, while South Africa has the third-lowest investment grade.
The central bank accepted all but 250,000 shillings of the 1.39 billion shillings of bids for the 91-day bills after offering 3 billion shillings of the notes, it said. Yields on 364-day bills jumped 89 basis points at an auction yesterday to 9.95 percent, the highest since May 22.
"Investors seeking higher compensation for their funds will put pressure on the yields, which are likely to rise by up to 200 basis points," Duncan Kinuthia, the head of trading at Nairobi-based Commercial Bank of Africa Ltd., said by phone on July 17, referring to six-month bills. "The central bank will have to offer higher yields to attract higher bids," Kamunya said.

The Donner Party (2009 film)
The Donner Party is a 2009 period drama film written and directed by T.J. Martin, and distributed by First Look International. It is based on the true story of the Donner Party, an 1840s westward traveling group of settlers headed for California. Becoming snowbound in the Sierra Nevada mountains, with food increasingly scarce, a small group calling themselves "The Forlorn Hope" turned to cannibalism. The Forlorn was the working title for the film.[1]
As well as being Martin's directorial debut, it was production company Anacapa Entertainment's first feature film.[2] It premiered at the Austin Film Festival on October 23, 2009,[3] with a DVD release three months later on January 26. Shooting was swift, with principal photography at the Donner Pass, California taking only 12 days.[4][5] Originally, the work had a higher budget, with greater use of child stars and a longer shooting schedule. The original production company pulled funding for the project, so several changes were made. The title change was a marketing choice by the distributor.[6]
The soundtrack was done by the Aspiro Choir under Mary Amond O'Brian.
The film opens with the text explaining the Donner Party and how did end up in the terrible situation of passing the cutoff.

In December, the President's Council on Bioethics released Beyond Therapy: Biotechnology and the Pursuit of Happiness (HarperCollins). The six-part report provides a balanced but critical assessment of actual and prospective developments in biotechnology. It soberly considers efforts to make "better children" through genetic screening and embryo testing, and to modify behavior with psychotropics like Ritalin. It critiques widespread efforts to attain "superior performance" through drug use, especially in sports, and concludes that such practices, by thwarting standards of traditional competition, may undercut the values associated with "natural" efforts. It raises fundamental questions about extending significantly the human life span or even (for some true believers) recasting aging as a conquerable disease. It considers the promises and perils of seeking "happy souls" through mood-enhancing drugs, and reflects on key aspects of human experience that may be undercut or even lost by such interventions.
Unlike some earlier commissions (and its own earlier report on cloning), the Council here does not make specific recommendations. Instead, it initiates a broad-ranging, perhaps prophetic, public debate. While it discusses the topics noted above, the report is less concerned about offering a "list of many things to think about than a picture of one big thing to think about: the dawning age of biotechnology and...

Hide&Seek has created an unusual and absorbing web experience to help promote the new Film4 feature documentary, Dreams of a Life, which tells the sad and shocking story of the life and death of Joyce Vincent. The site features text from A L Kennedy, and asks us to reflect on questions of life, love and friendship…
Joyce Vincent was found dead in her bedsit in Wood Green, London in 2006, three years after she had died. What makes her story particularly shocking is that she was young, only 38, and far from being a recluse, had once been a popular and bubbly figure, who had hung out with pop stars and had a wide group of friends. The Film4 documentary charts the story of Vincent's life, and features contributions from old friends reflecting on their relationship with her, and on the manner in which she died.
Vincent's story touches a chord not only due to its poignancy, but also because it represents a fear many of us have: of being forgotten and dying alone. Hide&Seek's website explores these feelings, but in a highly sensitive and immersive manner. Kennedy has crafted a series of questions, many very personal and occasionally uncomfortable, that aim to draw out our true feelings about friendship, and of loneliness. Along the way, she (in the guise of the website's voice) offers up her own opinions on these subjects, encouraging the user to continue in the experience.
The text occasionally makes reference to Vincent, and to how she died, and is accompanied by a series of images by Lottie Davies that reflect time passing, to give a sense of how much time passed before Vincent was found. At its core the website asks how much we expose our true feelings to people, a central question that Vincent's story raises too.
The site requires time and concentration to engage with, but rewards those that join in with a thought-provoking and emotional experience: something that is rarely found in an advertising campaign. It can be found online at dreamsofyourlife.com, and can also be experienced at a mobile touring installation that will take place in venues in Manchester, Sheffield and London from next week. The Dreams of a Life film is released in cinemas from December 16.

Poeville, also known as Peavine until 1863, is the site of a historical mining town, established in 1864. John Poe, a professional promoter from Michigan allegedly related to Edgar Allan Poe, discovered rich gold and silver veins in 1862 on the slopes of Peavine Mountain. After the discovery of ore, Poe announced that the veins comprised the next Comstock Lode; he presented extracted ore at the state fair of 1864 as rich in content. As a result, the former mining camp, called Poe City (Poeville) or Podunk (Poedunk), grew to 200 people by 1864. Ore production in the mining district and population peaked around 1873-1874 with several hundred people living in town, supported by three hotels and a post office. The post office, named "Poeville", operated between September 1, 1874, and March 24, 1878.[1]
The smelting of the sulfide-rich ores with the primitive technology of the time directly at town was difficult, and also water resources were scarce. The situation improved in 1866, when the extracted ore was freighted to smelters by wagon to Cisco, California, and, after the completion of the Central Pacific Railroad, by rail to Sacramento, California. Income from the mines was low, for the extracted ore was rich not in gold, but in copper. Mining activity rapidly slowed, then ceased altogether in the late 1870s. By 1880, only 15 people remained in town. Nothing can be seen today of the former town.[2] Several small mining claims were in operation near the town site since that time.
Poeville, according to the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, was situated on the flat area to the right on Peavine Road, where the road turns up a switchback to the left (latitude: 39.591221, longitude: -119.906137).[3]

AUSTIN - Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center researchers Thursday won only $78,975 for two projects in the state's biennial research grant awards program.
Two years ago, the TTUHSC received more than $1.17 million for nine research projects. This year, it received the fewest state grants of any health-related higher education institution in Texas.
The awards were part of about $60 million in grants approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The board made the awards for the state's two-year budget period through two research grant programs created by the Legislature in 1987.
Linda Domelsmith, director of research programs at the coordinating board, said the board was able to fund only 14 percent of the almost 3,000 proposals submitted this year. The projects were reviewed by 148 scientists and engineers serving on 15 panels.
Barbara Pence, TTUHSC vice president for research, said it's disappointing that the health sciences center didn't do better in the state's grant competition.
The good news, Pence said, is that the institution's total research funding increased by 34 percent - to $9 million from $6.7 million - in fiscal 1999 compared with the previous year.
The number of TTUHSC researchers receiving grants from the National Institutes of Health increased by 50 percent, to 33 from 22, Pence said.
"Because we have had a dramatic increase in funding from the National Institutes of Health this last year, our number of applications for research to the coordinating board decreased by about 50 percent," Pence said.
She said TTUHSC researchers submitted only 34 proposals to the coordinating board this year, compared to more than 70 two years ago.
Pence said one of her office's concerns is how the decrease in state grants will be perceived by the public. Pence said there could be a misconception that TTUHSC isn't doing good research.
"The fact that our total research dollars are up significantly, combined with the fact that our NIH-funded research is up, shows that Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is making significant strides forward in research," Pence said.
TTUHSC spokesman John Walls said some research projects under way at the facility are receiving international attention.
One example, Walls said, is Dr. David Straus' work on "sick building syndrome." The research has shown that bacteria and fungi that can cause certain chronic illnesses are able to colonize in buildings with ventilation problems.

Dreaming Big: Empowering Youth to Heal the Globe
South Central Los Angeles Charter School Takes On The World And Participates in The Dream Project – an Offshoot of The United Nation's Millennium Goals
Kelly Sullivan Walden, author, dream coach and vice president of the Los Angeles chapter of the Women's National Book Association, participated in the 2006 United Nations Conference where the goals were unveiled. Her response to this meeting was profound, going far above and beyond her "duties" as an UN-affiliated non-governmental organization – and thus the Dream Project was born.
The Dream Project is designed to empower young people to recognize themselves as leaders that behold the potential to make a positive and real contribution to the world and to instill in them social responsibility, self-esteem, and creative problem solving. This pilot program gives students the opportunity to address and create solutions for the issues recognized in the United Nation's Millennium Goals to combat hunger, poverty, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination in an attempt to fulfill these goals by the year 2015.
Vielka McFarlane, a veteran educator and founder of the Celerity Educational Group, knows all too well the responsibility and fortitude it takes to make a change in this world. She mortgaged her home and acquired a building on the corner of Jefferson and Crenshaw Boulevard in the notoriously underserved South Central Los Angeles community. This is where her vision of empowering children came to life - with The Celerity Nascent Charter School.
Since opening the Celerity Nascent School in 2005 (and two more since), Ms. McFarlane has been instilling these values in her students and it's apparent in their enthusiasm and dedication to The Dream Project. With several components, all of which are being filmed and compiled for a documentary, the Dream Project has kept the students at the Celerity Nascent School entrenched in global issues for the last few months. Ms. McFarlane knows this project, along with the rest of Celerity's curriculum, will make a lifelong impression on these students.
Ms. McFarlane explains, "For us (at the Celerity Schools), the Dream Project is an implementation of the mission and vision of the school in which we talk about empowerment. This project allows the students and our community to be social engineers and control their future."
Three eighth-grade classes at Celerity Nascent were chosen to take a hands-on involvement in the Dream Project. The classes were divided intro groups of eight, each group was given a Millennium Goal and asked to research the existing problem and envision its solution. At the end of a three-month period, each group will present their solutions to the entire school.
Yet this is just one of the school's many steps taken to better the world. In December, the school was a sponsor and distribution site for a Feed the Children project that fed more than 2,000 families in the Los Angeles area and ultimately more than 12,000 throughout the nation.
The Dream Project has also brought several high profile and inspiring speakers to the Celerity Nascent School and its community such as inspirational speaker Azim Khamisa, best-selling author Marianne Williamson and Pulitzer Prize Winner Mohammand Unis.
In March, a group of students will be traveling to meet with Honduras President Manuel Zelaya to share their involvement in the Dream Project in hopes to inspire students throughout Honduras to take action and help them fulfill the Millennium Goals.
"With our curriculum and the Dream Project, we are making it know that our vision at Celerity is not to just 'help' these underprivileged children, because that's too much talk and too little action," explains Ms. McFarlane. "We are giving them the tools and the knowledge to allow them to change the world and make a difference both within and on a larger scale."

On Friday, I went on a tour of AT&T Inc.'s Philadelphia "command center," a rare peek inside a secure facility that handles a terabit of information every second.
It was a way for local AT&T managers to show how the telecommunications company plans to spend $19 billion nationwide on its wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011.
On Sunday, Dallas-based AT&T showed another way that it hopes to spend its capital: It intends to buy T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG for $39 billion in a cash-and-stock transaction.
Our phones may be getting smaller, but most things about the telecommunications business remain enormous. U.S. wireless consumers yakked for more than 2.3 trillion minutes during the 12 months ended June 30, or 6.3 billion minutes per day, according to the CTIA, a trade association for the wireless industry.

Having the Latest Gold Investment News at Your Fingertips Protects Your Wealth
Do you know where most of the purchasing power in the United States comes from? In addition to reactionary economic policy that drives the printing of new dollars whenever the whim strikes, paper currency extends its reach through fractional reserve banking. In the past, currency had to be borrowed from those who were saving; now, it is stretched to the breaking point. Today, every bank loans out the maximum allowed. When you deposit $10 in a checking account, that bank can loan out all but ten percent. That $9 is passed back into the economy and deposited into another bank; 90 percent of that deposit can again be loaned. Ultimately, a $10 deposit in a checking account creates $100 in fractional currency. A single dollar, in the hands of a modern bank, can become ten or more with fractional reserve lending.
The problem with this type of economic system is that paper currencies always self-destruct. It is worth remembering the mantra: "Cash is trash!" Only precious metals like gold and silver have the ability to adjust their value, and staying up to date on gold investment news properly positions you to be able to protect your wealth. Throughout history, gold and silver automatically revalued to catch up with the changes that have occurred with paper currency, cyclically adjusting based on the amount of currency in existence at any given time. Being attuned to these cycles requires staying on top of gold investment news and picking out the relevant from the noise.
News on gold and silver can also help you pinpoint the right moments to buy and sell precious metals, allowing you to have an active role in your wealth management and financial protection efforts. GoldSilver.com™ is a cycles investors with expertise in measuring both past and current gold markets and silver markets. We provide the latest breaking gold and silver news that will position you to be ready to take immediate advantage of wealth protection opportunities as they arise.

Van Eyck
Van Eyck or Van Eijk (Dutch pronunciation: [fɑn ˈɛi̯k]) is a Dutch toponymic surname. Eijck/Eyck or Eijk are archaic spellings of modern Dutch eik ("oak") and the surname translates as "of the oak tree". People with this surname include:
Renaissance family of painters[edit]
The important Flemish family of Early Netherlandish painters with the surname van Eyck originated in the valley of the Meuse (Maaseik), but ultimately established their professional domicile in Ghent and in Bruges. There they changed the traditional habits of the earlier schools, remodelled the earlier forms of Flemish design, and introduced a substantial revolution into the technical methods of execution familiar to their countrymen. These painters were responsible for many famous works of the 15th century.
Family members included: Hubert van Eyck, Jan van Eyck, their brother Lambert van Eyck, and sister Margareta van Eyck, and probably Barthélemy d'Eyck from the next generation. Jan van Eyck (c. 1395 – 1441), active in Bruges, is considered to be one of the best Northern European painters of the 15th century.

- Casper van Eyck (1613–1674), Flemish marine painter

- Marie-Paule Van Eyck (born 1951), Belgian fencer
- Nangila van Eyck (born 1984), Dutch footballer
- Nicolaas van Eyck (1617–1679), Flemish painter of soldiers and horsemen
- Peter van Eyck (1911–1969), German-American actor
- Pieter Nicolaas van Eyck (1887–1954), Dutch poet and philosopher, father of Aldo and Robert Floris
- Robert Floris van Eyck (1916–1991), London-based Dutch poet and art restorer, son of Pieter Nicolaas

The nurses' union is sceptical of claims Southern District
Health Board cost-cutting will not affect patient care.
The board has said it has to cut costs in part to afford
capital charges for the as yet unconfirmed Dunedin Hospital
Last week it revealed its forecast deficit was now $13.9
million, nearly $5 million over budget.
New Zealand Nurses Organisation industrial services manager
for the DHB sector Lesley Harry said when chief executives
approved all spending, staff entitlements for meal breaks and
overtime were typically denied in district health boards.
''And when those entitlements are not approved, the result is
short-staffed wards and the potential for compromised patient
care. For everyone's safety, ward and unit managers must be
allowed to approve spending when it is needed.
''We want the Minister of Health to top up Southern DHB's
coffers and make sure there is enough money for capital
investment, maintenance and safe staffing levels that allow
the nursing team to provide high quality care to every
patient, every shift, every day,'' Ms Harry said.
The board has said two senior executives would focus solely
on cost reduction, and the areas targeted for cuts are
travel, staff recruitment, and spending delegation levels.
Chief executive Carole Heatly has said she will also pay more
attention to the finances.
A spokesman for Ms Heatly said she was not approving all
spending, but would lead the ''overall process'' to reduce

Vt. selectman's widow sues hospital over deathMarch 30,2013
BENNINGTON - The widow of a select board member in Pownal, Vt., has sued a hospital, accusing it of causing her husband's death in 2011.
The complaint was filed in Bennington Superior Court by Jean Prouty. It says Donald Prouty Jr. suffered a fall at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center that caused complications leading to his death.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/X0xKfZ) Prouty, who had Hepatitis C, went to the hospital complaining of head and neck pain from recent falls.
Hospital staff determined the 56-year-old Prouty was at a high risk of falling and ordered a bed alarm and "personal sitters."
The lawsuit says no one was in his room and the alarm was deactivated when he fell. He fractured his pelvis and suffered internal bleeding.
A hospital lawyer denies the allegations.

These Talisman necklaces from Pyrrha are cast from authentic 19th century wax seals and each design has a symbolic meaning taken from family heraldry. A Talisman is an amulet or object considered to possess supernatural or magical powers and the name Pyrrha is derived from the myth of Pyrrha and Deucalion, the only two survivors left after a great flood. To repopulate the earth they threw stones over their shoulders – the stones that Pyrrha threw became women, and the stones that Deucalion threw became men. How magical is that? I love that these necklaces hold so much meaning: the Dagger representing courage, the Pelican representing maternal instinct, etc.

Also there has been 4 "subscribers" added, and I'm not allowing subscribers, only admin can add subscribers.
How can I delete this mystery admin person?

LUCKNOW: Twenty years after demolition of Babri mosque, the Ayodhya debate is still on. The frenzy mob which razed the masjid to ground on December 6, 1992, perhaps had little or no inkling that the fanatic act would change the Indian politics for all times to come. Though the Ram Temple issue seems to have lost its electoral appeal, the damage has not been undone as yet and the efforts to polarise votes on religious lines continues, at least in UP, where eight major communal clashes have taken place after Samajwadi Party (SP) came to power in March this year and the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) is trying to cobble up the team of Hindutava hardliners who played a crucial role in the Temple movement, leading to the demolition of the masjid.
The communal rift created by the 1990 Ram temple movement which resulted in demolition of the mosque saw the BJP emerging as a national force, particularly in the north and west India, thereby changing the Indian polity forever. Till then the politics mainly revolved around the Congress and anti-Congressism, but post 1992, it became 'triangular' with the addition of the anti-Congress-BJP Third front. The demographic vote equations also changed with the Muslims, who also held inaction of the then Congress government headed by PV Narasimha Rao at the Centre equally responsible for the demolition of the mosque, shifting loyalty to regional parties which they felt could counter the saffron threat. It led to the rise of regional satraps like Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lalu Prasad Yadav among others.
The upheaval also pushed India into an era of instability which saw four prime ministers heading various coalition governments and two mid-term lok sabha polls between 1990-99. As no single party could win majority since then, the regional parties have been playing crucial role in formation of the governments. The coalition politics still continues but now its more mature and stable than 90s. But in UP, the instability continued from 1989 to 2007, during which period, the state saw ten governments of different permutations and combinations, three mid term assembly elections, four chief ministers, defections in parties and two stints of president rule. Interestingly, while the BJP was able to sustain in other states after Babri mosque demolition, in UP its tally declined steadily with every election.
