Sperling states that the teacher student ratio in NY, NY is 17/1
I say its more like 26/1. You're not even including the boroughs
of brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx where the ratios are more like
28/1. Where are you getting these stats and are all of them as
inaccurate as this one ?

Never Need - 11/27/2013
In New York you never need a car, within the city at least. It's easy to find zip cars if you need to and now Citi bikes as well. The best and cheapest way to get around is the Subway which is active 24/7 and it $2.50 per ride as of right now. It can take you just about anywhere.[read more...]

Need to move - 4/4/2013
I love New York. It's the city where I was born and raised and lived most of my life. And I'd be happy to stay, but I can't afford to. I've been on disability since late 1995, and I don't seem to be getting better, just worse. I've been staying with my mom in her one bedroom coop for more than a year now, when I had expected to be out within the first month. But it became clear that I would have to move out of state, to an area which meets ALL of my criteria, because they're all equally important. E.g. It doesn't help if I can find an apartment I can afford and even a doctor capable and willing to treat me if the town doesn't have a reliable public transport. system. Or moving to what looks like a great place without having set up a doctor. I did that once before and nearly died. But because I went on disability before my office was wired for the internet, I'm just now learning. And added to that is the headache pain from spending too much time on the computer, because I am legally blind without corrective lenses, and because I can no longer tolerate my contacts, I'm limited to glasses. In my opthalmologist's own words, "We can't correct your vision any clearer with the glasses, or your head will explode." Well, you know what? If I have to spend much more time living with my verbally and emotionally vicious mother who it seems is gaslighting me, I'd rather my head exploded. I have no one to help me, I just got out of the hospital with what I was told was the worst case of pneumonia they'd seen in a long time, along with the fact that altho I don't look my age of 52, I now have the lungs of an 80-year-old, despite never having smoked.
The NYC I remember is gone. Yes, it's true that we've always been a city of immigrants. My own grandparents were. But in the past, each group arriving had to assimilate to survive. Now they make no effort to speak the language, learn the laws, or even act with basic courtesy to customers who are American! And yet the federal government gives these new immigrants grants to start businesses, while Americans born here are lucky to get minimum wage jobs, especially as we grow older. We even thank our returning military and our firefighters, who place their lives on the line regularly, by removing benefits and withholding wage increases.
New York has turned into a city for the newly arrived, and for the Yuppie rich. It's sad but true. Even the Brooklyn Heights area, where I lived in the 90s, has lost its unique charm and has been turned into a cookie-cutter version of the upper East Side, despite the fact that the landmark laws should have prevented that. We have a lot to thank Mayor Bloomberg for. No, actually we don't![read more...]

If you live in NYC there are thousands of New York - 11/20/2012
Depending on who you are, you can really create your own New York. There is everything here. The one issue though is, and you have heard it a thousand times, it is expensive. The cost of housing is really going to cut into your budget. Young people are sharing more than ever, 2 in a studio now. Unheard of 5 years ago. I have spoken to many young professionals to have told me they are sharing 4 in a one bedroom! There are plenty of young people though who have affluent parents who have bought them apartments and fund their life here.
You have heard it before and I will say it again, NYC can be the best and worst of all worlds. To enjoy the best of it you need to be strong willed; have a lot of energy, be adventurous, have a thick skin, and be street smart; be very independent, have some base of support because making those connections and friendships is sadly difficult once you are here (unless you are under 25). That subject is a book in itself.
I have lived in SFran, Milan Italy, Colorado, Delaware, Japan, South America and now NYC for 14 years so thats my basis of comparison. Moving forward, it is the most open minded society of all. Culturally it has everything. If you are culturally curious and into the arts..this is the place. Weekends I'll hit 2 museums, go to an opening of a film festival, walk thru Central Park, go to a great organic market and pick up some fabric in one of hundreds of fabric shops to make a dress. There is something new, exciting every day. I get excited just going to Whole Foods to buy toilet paper. You will always see interesting people. Also I am over 40 and single so forget about just the young set. I....love..it...and am not rich but...a clever survialist. I bought a coop 10 years ago cheap so that saved me. I work, I am very healthy and every weekend feels so exciting as I go online to see whats going on.
NYC is for the curious, the inspired, the adventurous. There are people who want lots of their own personal space around them. This is NOT for them obviously. I love how I can start chatting with anyone here and they know what I am talking about. It's like a tribe here. You share a lot of the same experiences. The subway for example. Since 2008.... life has gotten tougher.
HEre's the catch....hate to admit it but...as everywhere it is harder in these years no doubt. Getting a job....ugh!!! Painful. You are one of many. The reality of this economy is really the deal breaker. So I end my piece by saying we are in different times. As exciting and inspiring as NYC is, though I am set up here and will stay... in these times, it may not be the best choice. One has to be practical in life unless you have plenty of money. Opportunity is NOT everywhere in NYC as it was even 8 years ago. These are different times, and following your passion is not the motto in these years. You have to weigh was is going on in the economy, you personal situation and common sense. Best to everyone.[read more...]

Journalism prize to be presented tomorrow by the University of Illinois; Ebertfest kicking off April 23 with screening of documentary "Life Itself"
CHICAGO, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Illinois is honoring Roger Ebert posthumously Tuesday night with the prestigious Illinois Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism. Ebert's wife, Chaz, will accept the award, to be presented at the University Club in Chicago, following a dinner and reception.
Ebert, one of the most influential film critics of his time and a Pulitzer Prize winner, is the first University of Illinois alumnus to receive this honor and only the sixth journalist overall. He joins Ben Bradlee, Seymour Hersh, Gay Talese, Nina Totenberg and Mike Wallace in this select club.
"I know Roger would be thrilled with this recognition, particularly coming from his alma mater, and with being placed in such esteemed company," says Chaz Ebert. "Roger didn't go into film criticism to win awards. He got into it to share his passion for movies. But this honor reflects the gift he had for connecting with audiences, whether in print, on television or online. That's what he was most proud of."
The University of Illinois' journalism faculty voted unanimously last spring to award the prize to Ebert, with the intention of making the announcement last April at his film festival, Ebertfest, and holding the presentation ceremony last fall. Ebert's death April 4, right before the festival, delayed those plans, but it didn't alter the school's resolve to honor Ebert.
"Roger was a brilliant thinker and writer who brought a passion and skill to film criticism that still hasn't been matched," says Richard Martin, head of the University of Illinois' department of journalism. "He didn't talk down to his readers. Instead, he made them feel as though he were right beside them, carrying on a conversation about an art form that he loved. We wish Roger were still with us and delighting us with his reviews, his wit and his perspective on the broader world around us."
Raised in Urbana, Ebert graduated from the University of Illinois in 1964. He joined the Chicago Sun-Times as film critic in 1967 and worked there for 46 years, until his death. In 1975, he became the first film critic to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize. His movie review television show with Gene Siskel, which eventually became the nationally syndicated "Siskel and Ebert at the Movies," turned him into a cultural icon.
Throughout his career, Ebert kept close ties with his alma mater. He was an adjunct journalism professor at Illinois, and in 2009 he and Chaz established the endowment for the Roger Ebert Program in Film Studies at the school's College of Media. In 1999, the Eberts created Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival, now popularly known as Ebertfest, held every April in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and organized by the university.
Both the festival and the film studies program "are specifically designed to further Roger's vision of championing worthy filmmakers, promoting meaningful film criticism, exploring new technologies, and improving the human condition," says Nate Kohn, festival director. "Ebertfest is, in and of itself, a remembrance of Roger and will continue in that capacity for years to come."
This year's festival, to be held April 23 – 27, will open with a special screening of "Life Itself," Steve James' new documentary based on Ebert's memoir of the same name. The director will be on hand at the festival to discuss the film, which premiered recently at the Sundance Film Festival to much acclaim.
Ebertfest will be held at the Virginia Theatre at 203 W. Park Ave. in Champaign. Festival passes are $145 and can be purchased through the Virginia Theatre box office, thevirginia.org.

While I had just come back to faith and was starting to grow in my home church, First Baptist Church Murfreesboro, I had never envisioned going to seminary. In need of spiritual growth and understanding, everything pointed me in that direction; however, our family is a single income family with four children. My job was crucial and I could not see how I could possibly attend seminary.
Just when I thought that there was no hope, I was surprised by a flyer about a seminary that would be housed in my church. I found out that classes would be done in intensives on Friday night and Saturday and that the tuition was subsidized through the generosity of grants. I finally got it all together and started my seminary journey at Central Baptist Theological Seminary - Tennessee.
This format allowed me to complete my degree without missing any work or taking too much time away from my family. At the same time, I was able to develop an understanding of how to apply the skills from seminary to my sense of calling as a marketplace minister and allowed me to find ways to execute this ministry. After completion of seminary, my home church ordained me and blessed me in this calling.
I am extremely grateful for Central for the work it has done in my life by providing a thought provoking broad theological education.

A little help, please! My well is running continuously. I shut it off at the breaker and the pressure (reading 70+) has not fallen after several hours. I drained the system and replaced the 40/60 switch. When I turned it back on, the pressure climbed back up to 70+.
I drained the pressure back below 60 with the pump off and it's holding at that level.
Any suggestions?
The nipple to the switch may be plugged.
The pump can ONLY pump to 70psi, but something will NOT shut it off before it reaches that pressure.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
The pressure switch may be wired incorrectly and is switching the neutral but the neutral may be finding an alternate return.
Buy a new pressure gauge and report back.
Even though you put a new pressure switch; doesn't mean it's preadjuated properly. Did you adjust it? When you replace it, you should of seen water come out the nipple which would determine what LLigetfa suggested. Like ballvalve said, buy a new psi gauge and see.

There's a lot of conversation about privacy going on right now. I'm seeing it all over multiple blogs I read and everyone has something to say about it. When the Google CEO (even jokingly) tells you to change your name if you want privacy, it's time to evaluate what we are doing with ourselves.
Now I want to be clear, privacy is a big deal and there are things that I don't want published about me on the internet – it's part of the reason why I deleted my MySpace page (that and I'm not a 15 year old anymore). However, I am not perfect when it comes to keeping my privacy under lock and key, and I probably have too much trust in companies.
When was the last time I really examined those terms and conditions that needed me to "agree"? Do I even know what I am signing up for? What if there's a clause about the FBI coming by and demanding a blood sample? Did I just "agree" to that? When it comes to the privacy debate – there are two things going on:
I think in the end, we should all be reading what we're agreeing too. But when you have a company that you've been a member of or subscribed to for years that suddenly changes everything you've ever known about that company, it's not right. Companies have a responsibility not to sell your information, not to share what you don't want shared, without a proper and complete warning about the whole thing.
But remember – if you don't like it, you can always delete or cancel.
Have you been sold out by a company trying to increase their bottom line, or do you admit to making mistakes and not reading what you were signing? When was the last time you read that new iTunes agreement?

Taking stock of the top stories in the season's first four games
Story Highlights
Matt Ryan, J.J. Watt two of the most impressive players at season's quarter pole
In the end, refs were smart to play hardball with the league in labor negotiations
Fine Fifteen; Awards and Stats of the Week; Ten Things I Think I Think; more
The NFL at the quarter pole: strange days indeed. Cards and Vikings, a combined 7-1. Saints and Lions, a combined 1-7. Rookie quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck are plugging away, playing well, but the best rookie of the first quarter of the season is a kicker from Missouri Western. The refs are back, and guess what? They're not perfect. Your NFL receiving leader after four weeks: Brian Hartline, with more yards (455) than Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Crabtree combined (443). And referee No. 99, Tony Corrente? Alive and well, to his own surprise.
The stories after Week 4:
Best offensive player: Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan. After the embarrassment of the 24-2 playoff loss to the Giants last January, the Falcons imported offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, who had more of a downfield eye than predecessor Mike Mularkey. While lengthening his average throw, Ryan's become more accurate too. His 69.4-percent completion rate is 8.1 points better than last year, his quarterback rating (112.1) almost 20 points higher.
On Sunday, he showed his confidence in Koetter's offense by waiting until he was in mid-sack before dumping the ball off on a key fourth-quarter drive to convert an impossible play into a first down that helped Atlanta beat pesky Carolina. "I think as the pocket closes I've become a smarter player,'' Ryan said afterward. "I know exactly where my options are, and I trust my guys that they'll be exactly where they're supposed to be. They also know that as the game progresses, the ball's going to find everyone. Overall, I'm as confident as I ever have been playing the position."
Best defensive player: Houston defensive end J.J. Watt. Not easy for a 3-4 defensive end, particularly one in the first month of his second year as a pro, and particularly one playing with a nagging elbow injury that requires the elbow to be braced, to lead the NFL with 7.5 sacks and five passes batted down at the line. He makes it clear, correctly, that being on a defense with a great young cast has been a huge assist for him. But the way he can speed about the edge and bull-rush inside with equal skill has made it impossible to block him one-on-one consistently.
He's had at least one sack in every game this year, and dating to last year's two playoff games, Watt has 11 sacks in his last six games -- insane for a 3-4 defensive end. Notified of this incredibly prestigious honor, being named the best defensive player of the first month of the season, Watt said after his two-sack game against Tennessee Sunday: "I appreciate that, but it's only one quarter of the season. We've got lots to do.''
Best special-teamer: Tennessee running back Darius Reynaud. For throwing a 28-yard backward lateral on a punt return for a touchdown in Week 3 against Detroit ... and later in the game for running a kickoff back 105 yards for a touchdown. Cool thing about it: In 11 years of high school, college and pro football, Reynaud had never thrown a football in a game -- and this one, by the southpaw, was a spiral that looked like Steve Young threw it.
Best rookie: St. Louis kicker Greg Zuerlein. Rams GM Les Snead gave special teams coach John Fassel (son of Jim, ex- of the Raiders) one big job when he took the job: find a kicker to replace veteran Josh Brown, who had made just 75 percent of his field goal tries last year. Fassel worked out Zuerlein -- who transferred from Nebraska-Omaha to Missouri Western when the program went belly-up -- before the draft on campus, and the very low-maintenance Zuerlein didn't think he had exactly aced the test. "I didn't kick anything too far that day,'' Zuerlein recalls. "The furthest kick, I think, was about 60 yards.'' Greg, in the NFL, that's good enough.
The Rams picked him the sixth round, 171st overall in the April draft. In camp, he started kicking 58-yarders halfway up the net behind the goalpost. And he never stopped. On Sunday, he became the first kicker in the NFL's 93 seasons to make two kicks of at least 58 yards in a game (60 and 58), and he's perfect on his first 12 kicks -- seven of them from 46 yards and out. I asked him when the last time was that he was nervous before a kick. "Nervous, I don't know,'' he said. "I was pretty excited before my first [preseason] game, in Indianapolis. But I wouldn't say nervous. I don't really get nervous. There's no reason to get worked up about kicking a football.'' Out of the mouths of rookies ...
Best team: Houston. San Francisco looked like it Sunday in the 34-0 rout of the discombobulated Jets. Atlanta looked like it in the 27-3 beatdown of the Chargers in San Diego in Week 3. And the Patriots looked like it rolling up 45 points in the last 25 minutes at Buffalo Sunday. But the Texans were September's Team, winning by 20, 20, 6 and 24 points.
I don't want overestimate the pluck of the quarterback, but who survives the two hits on consecutive plays that Matt Schaub took last week in Denver, a $15,750 whack by Von Miller and a $50,000 (plus suspension) helmet-to-helmet ear-eater by Joe Mays? (Schaub, by the way, told me the death of his earlobe has been greatly exaggerated. "My ear's fine,'' he said dismissively Sunday. "That thing got blown way out of proportion.'')
Watt told me he thought the Texans were the best team in the league right now. Said Schaub: "We're a team that's built to win many different ways. If we need to win 10-7, we can. We can run if we have to. We can throw. And our defense can win a game. Our defense created 14 points today.'' And there's depth at running back and all over the defense. This is a team that should be built for January, finally.
Best coach: Mike McCarthy, Green Bay. The coach of the year shouldn't always be the winningest coach, or the coach who brings a team from poor to contender. McCarthy gained my everlasting respect when, in the face of the rage on his sideline and in his locker room, he managed the post-debacle situation in Seattle with aplomb, sending his extra-point team back on the field when the players were venomous in the postgame locker room, then making no excuses in his remarks to the press.
Last Wednesday, he told his players they weren't going to be making any excuses about the officials. "The refs are human too,'' he said, according to wideout James Jones. He told them to keep fighting, regardless of whatever was called on the field. That became a mantra during the week -- a cliché, of course, but if you've been around sports, you know clichés work sometimes, like this time -- and on Sunday, late in the fourth quarter, when it looked like a ridiculous official's call negating a Saints' fumble on a kickoff return might again cost the Packers, the players didn't lose it. "Even after that bad call,'' said Jones, "everyone on the sidelines was saying, 'Keep fighting, keep fighting.' You know, what we realized after last week was we were 1-2 whether we were bitter or not, so what good did it do to be bitter? We just had to focus on football and forget all the other stuff." McCarthy did an excellent job making sure the other stuff didn't ruin their game Sunday.

Clearly, one of the lightning rods of NBC's telecasts has been gymnastics analyst Bela Karolyi. His expertise is unquestioned. Some (like me) think he shouldn't be in the analyst's chair because his wife, Marta, is coach of the U.S. women's team. Others, however, think he's a hoot. As my penpal Brad Dickson e-mailed me: "I'm not a gymnastics fan, I just watch to see if Bela gets so worked up his head finally explodes on-air."
OK, so what do you think? Bela--thumbs up or thumbs down?

I have heard many references to "Miniland" scale. From what I have seen, this style of building mostly includes figurines that are larger the normal "mini-figs", but I was wondering what are some other characteristics of "Miniland" scale?
Mini style {used in LEGO sets and by collectors, not Miniland}
Mini scale/style is typically much smaller than normal LEGO. In Mini scale/style, figures are formed with 2-3 blocks.
Mini scale/style {if I remember correctly} didn't gain popularity until recently. It's so far been popularly used in the LEGO Architecture sets, and in a few others of common landmarks.
It's also common to see three-to-five-dollar packages that contain buildable models {sold in the LEGO stores} in the Mini scale/style.
Examples of Mini sets include:
Miniland style {used by Legoland amusement parks and a few LEGO sets}
I believe that the LEGO amusement parks use something close to miniland scale. It is, however, much different than normal Mini style/scale. One notable fact is that the people have larger heads. I know this is true for the one in Billund, but I'm not sure about the one in California.
Here and here are the pages of Minilands Billund and California, respectively. The Billund miniland doesn't have its' own page, but it's on the interactive map at the link provided.
A Miniland Flickr group is here if you want to see what Miniland style/scale is.
EDIT! As Zhaph-Ben Duguid pointed out, the Legoland amusement parks are called Miniland, but do not use the Mini scale/style. They use a strange hybrid between DUPLO and LEGO Mini scale/style. It is actually not the more common Mini style/scale used in sets. I've updated this answer to reflect that.

Non-BCS Top 25: November 14th
As part of our 5-Year Ranking series, here's how the Big Ten teams stack up according to conference wins. The makeup of the Big Ten is quite different from most of the other power-conferences. The also-rans in the Big Ten have fared much better than other league also-rans, while the middle teams are much more mediocre. With one or two surprises, the final league standings will probably look pretty similar to the 5-year standings.
First Tier
Here's how the ACC teams stack up over the last five years according to conference wins. Unlike many leagues, the ACC has a relatively strict caste system, with Duke and UNC firmly at the top. Tony Bennett's Virginia Cavaliers are one of the few teams with a chance to jump up a level, while Wake Forest is clearly going in the wrong direction.

Instead of celebrating with those basic, prepackaged candy bars, why not make your own? If you think the task seems daunting, complicated, and not worth the effort, think again. Hurry and put the rumors to rest with these 13 treats — like fluffy marshmallows, candied citrus peels, and addicting chocolate matzo toffee — for a rather simple but sweet addition to your candy dish. There's no better rush than a sugar rush! — Additional reporting by Lisette Mejia Chocolate Fudge What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Looking for a fail-proof candy recipe? This chocolate fudge is surprisingly simple to make, comes out consistently lush and velvety, and — let's be real — is downright delicious. 1 / 12 Rose Marshmallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These melt-in-your-mouth rose marshmallows are tasty, pretty to look at, and a great break from chocolate. If you're in a festive mood, you can even use cookie cutters to make fun shapes. 2 / 12 White Chocolate Truffles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who says white chocolate is plain Jane? These white chocolate truffles are anything but — just think about those creamy ganache centers. Yum! 3 / 12 Chocolate Matzo Toffee What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's a very good reason this treat is dubbed chocolate matzo crack. Chocolate-covered almond matzo toffee is nothing short of addicting thanks to its dangerously buttery, salty, sweet, and crisp finish. A word of advice: share it with a group, otherwise you'll finish it all by yourself. In one sitting. 4 / 12 Chai Caramels What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 What's salty, spicy, and sweet all over? Chai caramels that combine — you guessed it — chai tea and caramel. The recipe result is both over-the-top decadent and comforting at the same time . . . just how we like it! 6 / 12 Chocolate Pretzel Clusters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This simple recipe for dark chocolate clusters uses an easy-to-make honey-caramel recipe and a simple method of tempering chocolate for an inexpensive, sweet, and salty treat. 6 / 12 Blueberry Mini Marshmallows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A great party snack or frozen-yogurt topper, these mini marshmallows are light, fluffy, and chewy. They taste even better dipped in chocolate! 7 / 12 Sweet and Spicy Brittle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This sweet and spicy brittle recipe is a fun twist on the classic peanut brittle and can easily be substituted with any nut, seed, spice, or dried fruit. 8 / 12 Caramel Candy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Although making homemade caramel may seem like a daunting task, it is a challenge with sweet results. This soft caramel is a basic, beginner recipe for trying your hand at these little gooey squares. 9 / 12 Popping Chocolate Bark What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 What do you get when you mix Pop Rocks with chocolate? (Well, not exactly Pop Rocks, but something similar.) Some popping sugar chocolate bark! All you need to do to experience the snap and sizzle is mix popping sugar with chocolate bark, and boom — it's like a party in your mouth. 11 / 12 Candied Citrus Peels What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A recipe that calls for only sugar and fruit, candied citrus peels are a basic preservative-free treat that your friends and family will love. 11 / 12 Dark Chocolate Truffles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Release your inner chocolatier by whipping up some dreamy dark chocolate truffles. Yes, the process takes several hours (and patience), but trust us when we say the oozing end product is worth every minute. 12 / 12 2.9K 11 26 1 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Party PlanningRecipesDessertCandy party planning Sister to the Mint Julep: A Strawberry-Bourbon Cobbler 9 hours ago Molten Chocolate Cakes: The Dignified Way to Eat Cake Batter 19 hours ago Do It Right For Your Derby Day Party 1 day ago Brad and Angelina's Wine Plus 2 More Celebrity Bottles That Are Actually Great 2 days ago Toast to Earth Day With One of Our Favorite Eco-Friendly Wines 2 days ago Fill Your Easter Table With Bright Colors and Fresh Flavors 5 days ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

What is RABCK.com?
RABCK.com is a website related to BookCrossing.com. Inspired by what was happening there, I started working on this site. RABCK.com acts as a global address book for someone who wants to send a RABCK. Obviously, if you want to receive a RABCK, that will mean you'll have to put your address into the database for people to find you.
What happens with my address?
Your address is stored in the RABCK database. When someone wants to send out a RABCK to someone they don't know (or maybe someone they do know, but don't know the address of) that person can log into RABCK.com and look up the address. Aside from that, RABCK.com will not do anything else with your address. We also try to prevent any non-bookcrossing.com members to get into this system, but obviously, that security is by far not waterproof because anyone can pose as someone else.
I want to send a RABCK, what to do?
Log in to RABCK.com, or if you don't have an account yet, register to get your account. It's not a whole lot of work, and will also ensure your address is available for others to send a RABCK to.
Who is responsible for RABCK.com?
This site is being developed and maintained by an enthousiastic bookcrosser by the name of Stefan Koopmanschap (skoopmanschap @ bookcrossing.com).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for much of Middle Tennessee, with forecasters keeping a close eye on the southern and southeastern parts of the mid-state.
Forecasters said the storm system could produce hail up to 1 inch in diameter, wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour, as well as dangerous lightning.
The thunderstorm watch includes Bedford, Cannon, Clay, Coffee, Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress, Giles, Grundy, Jackson, Lawrence, Macon, Marshall, Overton, Pickett, Putnam Rutherford, Smith, Trousdale, Van Bureau, Warren, White, and Wilson Counties. Davidson County is not included in the watch.
A tornado watch has been issued for Lincoln and Moore Counties until 7 p.m. Thursday.
The line of storms moved in slowly from the west overnight.
NewsChannel 5 meteorologist Lelan Statom said the threat is greater from Nashville eastward where daytime heating could re-energize the line of storms.
Metro's Office of Emergency Management partially activated the Emergency Operations Center at 9 a.m. in anticipation of the storms. Metro OEM staff continues to monitor the approaching weather system with assistance from the National Weather Service. For information about storm related road closures, any evacuation areas or routes, shelters and relief centers, go here.
The threat of storms could continue across the mid-state through 7 p.m. before exiting the Cumberland Plateau.
Several schools in the mid-state closed early due to the severe weather threat. See the Storm Watch School Closings for the most updated information.
The NWS said April is the peak month for Severe Weather across Middle Tennessee.

Gators pick up five new commitments, headlined by Glades Day RB Kelvin Taylorby Jason Lieser
It looks like the Taylor legacy at Florida will continue. The Gators received a commitment from Glades Day RB Kelvin Taylor today, who chose UF over Alabama.
Taylor's father, Fred, played running back for the Gators before going on to a Pro Bowl career in the NFL. Fred Taylor is arguably the greatest football player ever produced by history-rich Glades Central HS.
Along with Taylor (5-11, 215), LB Quinton Powell, WR Rodney Adams, LB Dillan Lawson and S Nick Washington committed to Florida, pushing the team's total number of commits to nine for the upcoming class.
Adams (6-1, 175) is from Lakewood HS in St. Petersburg. Powell (6-2, 205) will be a senior this fall at Mainland HS in Daytona Beach.
Washington (6-0, 185) plays for Jacksonville-Trinity Christian. Lawson (6-4, 215) is from Crestview HS.
All commitments are nonbinding until a player signs a letter of intent or enrolls in January on a football scholarship.
Here is Florida's list of commitments for the 2013 signing class:
Tags: Dillan Lawson, Football, Fred Taylor, Glades Day School, Kelvin Taylor, Nick Washington, Quinton Powell, Recruiting, Rodney Adams

Dear fellow travellers,
I need to get to Ljubljana from Trieste on Monday, the 14th April. I understand that I can get a train from Sezana. Can anybody advice what is the best way to get there from Trieste? How much would a taxi cost? Does anybody know if the scenic tram to Villa Opica at the border is working? Or are there direct buses from Trieste to Ljubljana after 3 pm?
Thank you in advance!

Having already established themselves by virtue of their handful of releases on Hydrahead records, Vermont's least kept secret, Drowningman, continue to impress with their Rev debut EP, How They Light Cigarettes in Prison. Four songs of careening, spastic metal/hardcore are interrupted by haunting sections of emoish melody. Escaping earlier stock comparisons to Converge, Cave-In, and Deadguy, Drowningman have moved into their own musical territory, finding new ways to tread the line between noise and melody, intricacy and subtlety. Infused with Drowningman's already patented poetic sarcasm- How They Light Cigarettes in Prison besides offering a a variety of death threats, tells tales of heart break, armed robbery, and electrical failures in correctional institutions. Produced by Brian McTernan with design executed by Jacob Bannon, How They Light Cigarettes in Prison is required listening for anyone that has ever spent a night crying while sharpening their knives.

Tampa >Food & Dining > Backstage Restaurant & Lounge
111 W Fortune St, Tampa, FL | Directions 3360227.953256 -82.463794
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Northeast
Good food. – Had buffet dinner here before the show, was surprised w/the quality of food, chowder was delicious, fresh salad, large cocktail shrimps, yummy ravioli, king crab, mahi-mahi, variety of meats. Buffet available only when have shows, their regular menu looks good too. But their kids mac & cheese is different from the usual.
Misfortunate One – Unfortunately, this restaurant located off Fortune St. in the huge Holiday Inn, is why hotel food has a bad reputation.
Because it's next to Perf. Arts Center, if you have to catch a bite before or after show, try your luck.
Food is overpriced at best.
Lunch: A Caesar salad with a hint of grilled chicken cost the same as the lunch bar. (7.95) Everyone else went for the lunch bar with pasta galore.
It didn't look that great and I don't go for the food bar thing.

Logitech Wireless Mouse M310
An easy-to-use, full-size mouse with no-worries wireless and laser precision.
No-worry wireless
The plug-and-forget, 2.4 GHz nano-receiver effectively eliminates delays and dropouts from up to 20 meters.
With 12 months of battery life, you don't have to deal with the hassle of frequent battery changes.*
To the point
You'll get right where you want to go with smooth, precise laser tracking.
* Battery life may vary based on user and computing conditions.
An easy-to-use, full-size mouse with a plug-and-forget nano-receiver, Logitech® Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, and 12-month battery life for no-worries wireless and laser precision.
Plug-and-forget nano-receiver
So small and unobtrusive, you can plug it into a USB port and forget about it. Plus, you can say goodbye to worries about lost receivers.
Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity
You get the reliability of a cord with wireless convenience and freedom—fast data transmission and virtually no delays or dropouts—up to 20 meters away.
12-month battery life
You can go for a year without battery hassles. An On/Off switch and smart sleep mode extend battery life, while an indicator light eliminates surprises.*
Laser tracking
You'll enjoy smooth, responsive laser tracking on just about any surface, easy text selection, and effortless scrolling that touchpads can't compete with.**
Hand-friendly design
The full-size, contoured design with soft rubber grips feels good in either hand—even after long hours of use.
Logitech reliability
You get the high quality and reliability that's made Logitech the global leader for mice at a price you can afford.
* Battery life may vary based on user and computing conditions. ** Laser sensor does not work on mirrors or clear glass.
Plug-and-forget nano-receiver
You can forget about it
Here's one less thing to worry about when you're on the go - your wireless receiver. That's because our plug-and-forget nano-receiver isn't just small - it's tiny. You can literally plug it in once and forget about it.
Leave it and love it
With most wireless receivers, you need to plug and unplug them every time you pack up your notebook. The plug-and-forget nano-receiver is different. It's so small it stays nearly flush with your notebook - so it's always ready. You just turn off your mouse and go.
It's a stowaway
If you ever want to store the receiver, you can do that, too. Plus, because you're not using it, storing your receiver will help conserve battery life.
Pint-sized power
Sure this little guy is about the size of a small coin, but it packs plenty of power. Nearly all mice that come with the nano-receiver offer Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity.* That means you'll experience virtually no delays or dropouts, even in the busiest high-tech environments, such as an airport, a coffee shop, or your neighborhood coffee shop.
Wireless mice. Cut the cord.
You don't have to stay tied to your desk. Or live with the chaos of cords.
The power player: Advanced 2.4 GHz
Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless delivers even more robust, reliable performance than ever before, effectively eliminating delays and dropouts (compared to conventional 2.4 GHz and 27 MHz wireless technologies).
Just plain easy: Bluetooth®
No dongle, no cord—Bluetooth® mice give you a hassle-free connection to your Bluetooth-enabled computer.
Back to basics: 27 MHz
For a basic wireless connection, 27 MHz wireless technology is reliable. You can use it up to six feet away with less chance of interference in your home or small office because the band isn't widely used.
Mouse battery life. What's in a number?
If you love the convenience of long battery life, Logitech mice will make you happy. In fact, the Logitech® Marathon Mouse M705 will last you up to three years without a trip to the store for two AAs.
Behind the numbers
Mouse battery life isn't a one-size-fits-all number. It varies more from person to person than just about any other battery-powered device. And there's no industry standard for calculating it. We do our best to come up with a battery life that a typical user can expect to get. But this can vary greatly depending on your situation. A light user might get over three years of battery life with a mouse, while a very heavy user might only get one year with the same mouse.
The big factors
There are a lot of variables that can affect the battery life of your mouse. While there's no magic formula to figure out exactly how long your batteries will last, knowing the main factors can help you get a better idea of what to expect—and in some cases help you go longer between battery changes.
Looking for a mouse with a battery life so long you won't remember the last time you changed batteries?
Check out our mice with extended battery life.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone.

Ever been tempted to cheat?
Three guys died and when they got to the pearly gates, St. Peter met them there. St. Peter said, "I know that you guys are forgiven because you're here. Before I let you into heaven, I have to ask you something. Your answer will depend on what kind of car you get. You have to have a car in heaven because heaven is so big!"
The first guy walks up and Peter asks the first guy, "How long were you married?"
The first guy says, "Twenty-four years."
"Did you ever cheat on your wife?" Peter asks.
The guy says, "Yeah, seven times, but you said I was forgiven."
Peter says, "Yeah, but that's not too good. Here's a Pinto to drive."
The second guy walks up and gets the same question from Peter. The second guy says, "I was married for forty-one years and cheated on her once, but that was our first year and we really worked it out well."
Peter says, "I'm pleased to hear that, here's a Lincoln."
The third guy walks up and says, "Peter, I know what you're going to ask. I was married for sixty-three years and didn't even look at another woman! I treated my wife like a queen!"
Peter says, "That's what I like to hear. Here's your Jaguar!"
A little while later, the two guys with the Lincoln and the Pinto see the guy with the Jaguar crying on the golden sidewalk so they go see what was the matter. They ask the guy with the Jaguar what is wrong, he says, "I've just seen my wife and she was on a skateboard!"

Walk out from the glass-walled lobby, a towering A-frame, and stand amid palm trees. Wander down to soft white sand and watch the sun melt into the wide open sea. You could be in Bali. Or you could be at the Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort & Spa, fresh from its $187 million redo, the largest in Marriott history. CEO J.W. Marriott Jr., was on hand in April as the resort was rededicated in a ceremony with customers, media, and owners Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers, an affiliate of Mass Mutual.
The three-year project transformed the resort into an elegant, South Pacific-inspired property that takes full advantage of its rare location: snuggled up to a mile of wide, private beach. It is warm and welcoming, with comfort and convenience an important part of the thoughtful design. Guests appreciate the dramatic marble and mahogany, but they also love the lobby-level Café San Marco, where they can grab coffee and a pastry and walk right out to a terrace table to enjoy them in the ocean breeze.
The property's 62,000 square feet of indoor meeting space is divided between the two ends of the property, just as the 727 guest rooms are split between two towers. Highlights include the Palms Ballroom, which added nearly 10,000 square feet of meeting space, and the completely redone Capri and Island Ballrooms. Exhibit space is available in the 15,000-square-foot Collier Hall.
Outdoor function space includes the Sunset Terrace, cleverly designed with paving stones and lawn so that a reception is naturally but unobtrusively separated from the paths of leisure guests. Also available for outdoor functions is the largest private beach in southwest Florida, where the resort can cater an elegant dinner or a casual barbecue.
And then there is the new 24,000-square-foot Spa at Marco Island, which can do 25 treatments an hour and offers a group menu.
Finally, the resort's semi-private Rookery at Marco golf course, an Audubon-endorsed course, was redesigned by Robert Cupp Jr., along with a new 21,000-square-foot Clubhouse and a 14-acre practice facility featuring the Faldo Golf School by Marriott.

IW500: HP Chairman Defends Strategy ShiftsRay Lane takes shots at Oracle, Microsoft, and Android while clarifying the company's mobile and information management plans.
That much should have been clear in August when HP announced it would attempt to spin out its PC business and acquire enterprise software vendor Autonomy. Appearing at this week's InformationWeek 500 Conference in Dana Point, Calif., HP Chairman Ray Lane and Chief Technology Strategy Officer Shane Robison both acknowledged that the company had done such a poor job of communicating those moves and that many customers were left confused.
More Insights
WebcastsMore >>
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
Lane and Robison did their best to reassure the more than 400 CIOs and other top IT executives in attendance at the event that HP remains a reliable, predictable enterprise partner that is investing heavily in its server, storage, and networking businesses. At the same time, Lane made it clear that the software transition is necessary.
"Predictability is important, but technology companies that just keep doing what they are doing die," Lane said. "You have to keep changing, and that's uniquely important in the technology business."
Putting HP's transition into a competitive context, Lane said it will be easier for HP to move more deeply into information management software--the motive behind the still-to-be-completed Autonomy acquisition--than it will be for Oracle to succeed in hardware in the wake of its acquisition of Sun. That transition "is much more dangerous," he said, because "they acquired a flagging server company and they're trying to use the clout of their database to tell customers what to do."
In another comparison, Lane said Microsoft has not changed fast enough because it has relied for too long on the clout of its Windows and Office platforms.
Explaining HP's apparent about-face on the mobile market, Lane was candid in saying that HP's TouchPad tablet was "a generation behind" the iPad. He added that "the Koreans are going to be really good at the hardware, and Apple is more worried about them than they are us."
By separating the webOS mobile operating system from the hardware business, Lane said HP will be able to take advantage of what he described as "the best platform in the world" for commercial application development. "You cannot develop serious, portable applications on Android," Lane said, noting that the Web app development platform behind webOS can port applications to Andoid, Apple iOS, or Windows as well as webOS.
How can HP take advantage of webOS if it's not used on any smartphones or tablets? Robison said HP is in discussion with partners and that it intends to give webOS and its Web app development environment a life of its own as a platform for the industry. "It provides a common platform on which you can develop applications and deploy them on any operating system of choice," he said.
Of course the new news that may have changed the prospects for webOS is Google's recent acquisition of Motorola. Reading between the lines of what Lane and Robison had to say, it's easy to guess that HP is looking to license the mobile operating platform to the likes of Samsung, HTC, and possibly others.
Lane's clear and candid remarks were reassuring to many HP customers at the event, but it was hard to overcome the fact that HPs plans have many dependencies. Can HP find a way to spin out its $40 billion consumer PC business? Do mobile hardware vendors really need another operating-system option (other than Android and Windows) to compete against Apple? Will the Autonomy acquisition go through, and will it make HP that much more compelling and profitable as an information management software provider? All of these questions have yet to be answered.
At one point, Lane inadvertently made a better case for Salesforce.com than he could muster for an HP in transition when he brought up Kenandy, a software-as-a-service startup that's being funded by the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, where Lane is managing partner. Kenandy has built its software on Salesforce.com's Force.com development platform.
"Today, speed and the ability to make use of information is quickly, so CIOs have to get things in place quickly," Lane said. "If you look at Saleforce.com as just a CRM system, maybe it doesn't delivery everything you need in the enterprise, but it's fast."
Lane's case in point was Kenandy's first customer, which was able to get 75 users up and running "within two weeks on a full-blown, production system," Lane said.
HP, too, has a cloud strategy and is talking about agility, but I'm guessing Lane would be hard pressed to come up with an equally compelling example of such a rapid, enterprise-level deployment enabled by HP.
Once again, we'll have to wait to see if HP can transform itself.

Monday is deadline to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Here's a state-by-state look at enrollment through March 1, which is the most recent data available by state.
Nonpartisan political handicapper Stuart Rothenberg said Sunday it's hard to imagine Republicans can run entirely on a platform against the Affordable Care Act from now until the November midterm elections.
President Barack Obama called on his fellow Democrats to "forcefully defend and be proud" of the fact that millions of people have signed up for health care insurance through the federal marketplaces, and faulted Republicans who are still angling to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
The number of people enrolled in the Affordable Care Act stands at 7.5 million -- an increase of 400,000 since the Obama administration announced it surpassed its April 1 target, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told the Senate Finance Committee Thursday.
Kathleen Sebelius is resigning from her position as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a White House official said Thursday.
