Match Preview
No Saints fire sale, insists Reed Executive director Les Reed has fired a shot across the bows of those hoping to lure away Southampton's top talent, warning potential suitors that the likes of Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and manager Mauricio Pochettino are staying put. Saints are all but certain to secure a comfortable top-10 finish at the end of a season in which their style and focus on home-grown talent has attracted many plaudits. That, though, has brought with it admiring glances from afar and manager Pochettino's burgeoning reputation has seen him installed as the bookmakers' favourite to become Tottenham's next manager. The likes of Lallana, Calum Chambers and Shaw have also been strongly linked with a move away this summer, with a report this week claiming the latter is on the verge of a move to Manchester United. That speculation appeared to be the final straw for Reed, who took the unusual step of making a statement before Pochettino's standard press conference previewing Saturday's match with Everton. The executive director did not take any questions, preferring instead to give a five-minute statement in order to give an "accurate picture of where we stand at the moment" due to the unrelenting speculation. "No club has been given permission to talk to any of our players," Reed said. "That will remain so. "As far as the policy is concerned, we've had a great season. We want to build on that season. We want to improve the squad going forward. "We want to retain the players we've got. They are all contracted. They all have existing contracts and we intend for them to honour those contracts. "Any enquiries we get will probably be met with a 'no, not for sale'. Our intention is to keep this very good team together and build on it by bringing new players to improve on that. "Every transfer window, particularly in the summer, is difficult because everybody is out there trying to attract players. We have our targets. We want to improve the squad. These are things we're discussing on a daily basis. "We will tend to develop a squad that's capable of not just maintaining the position we're in but improving next season. "Therefore, it's a positive message we want to get out there. I think our fans deserve to understand that there is not going to be a fire sale here. We have repeatedly said that. "We've had no offers for players. Deals are not about to be concluded for any of our players and we want to keep all of our best players here at this club and build on that for the future." Morgan Schneiderlin has joined Southampton's injury list heading into Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Everton. The French midfielder received a heavy knock to his quadriceps and joins Jay Rodriguez (knee) and Gaston Ramirez (ankle) on the sidelines. Maya Yoshida (knee) remains absent for Saints for the Toffees' visit, as does back-up goalkeeper Kelvin Davis (back). Defender Sylvain Distin misses Everton's trip with a hamstring injury. With fellow centre-back Phil Jagielka still a week away from returning from a similar problem it means John Stones and Antolin Alcaraz will be central defensive partners. Forward Kevin Mirallas (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season and with Darron Gibson, Arouna Kone, Bryan Oviedo, Steven Pienaar and Lacina Traore all still sidelined manager Roberto Martinez will look to his under-21s to bolster his squad. Martinez has urged some of the club's young players to seize the opportunity presented by their current injury problems. It leaves Martinez short of options ahead of the trip to Southampton but he has already put faith in younger players this season with great success and has no qualms about asking members of the Under-21s to contribute to their bid for Champions League football. "We have young players who are capable of coming in and showing what they can do and that excites me," Martinez said. "This weekend maybe we will have to bring in someone from the Under-21s and give him an opportunity. "That is what we are as a club. We will not blame players that are missing we just celebrate the opportunity given to young players."

"Very entertaining"
I enjoyed the strength in character of the leading lady and the sharp contrast to the mothers character.
The sudden change in Morgan's character- I realize this is unreal- but it was a good listen.
Her voice is easy to listen to.
Turn around
More please!!
Amazing what people will do for family. This was unreal for me. Has me looking curiously at the car dealerships i see on the streets.
Paris- she was hardy and head strong.
The scenes between Orlando and Ruby always got me laughing.

Gran Canaria Desktop Summit: KDE and Gnome Formulate Common Goals
On the first day of the joint developer conference on Gran Canaryia, representatives of the desktop projects Gnome and KDE formulated common goals for their future development.
When KDE chiefs Adriaan de Groot and Sebastian Kuegler, together with Gnome's Dave Neary and Federico Mena met the press, Kuegler explained the idea for a joint desktop conference was born two years ago and is meant to save developers from having to travel to two conferences. Neary added that, now at last, they have found the right meeting place for all those working on free desktops.
That each project has its own identity is shown by the fact that, at this year's conference, the projects have again kept their individual titles, Akademy and Guadec. Meeting in person is important for the participants and according to Kuegler, to 90%, they are all working on the same goals. Also, the projects want to show that open source desktops are powered by a strong movement of dedicated developers and not just a bunch of nerds.
Noticeable by his absence, KDEs chief motivator Aaron Seigo, recently expressed concerns for the future of freedesktop.org (we reported). Federico Mena welcomed Seigo's efforts to revive free desktop standards. Most developers are more interested in their own work than they are in keeping documentation up to standard. Individual projects are like different countries: at home the technology works, go abroad and the plug doesn't fit the socket. This is where freedesktop can help. A workgroup addressing the issue is to be held on Grand Canary this year, where the problems can be discussed without the barriers of email or IRC.
As an example, Kuegler told of a desktop-neutral communications system they've been working on for quite a while. Something has to be done about the confusing procedure at freedesktop.org. Adriaan de Groot mentioned Consolekit, Packagekit and Devicekit as examples of jointly developed components with the end-user being blissfully unaware of the fact.
Explaining KDE developer plans, Kuegler pointed out that KDE 4 had gone from zero to user-status in five years. They aren't going to sit back and relax now. For KDE, the way forward is semantic and social desktop.
Gnome developer Dave Neary emphasized further development of audio implementation, an area where some things still aren't quite right. Gstreamer and Pulseaudio developers will be working on the problems at the Gran Canaria Summit.
Why do people still believe that there is a large amount of waste when similar projects exist?
Do you think that all the people who prefer working on GNOME would have happily worked away on KDE in GNOME's absence? My early experiences with Linux had KDE and it was so unlike my tastes that I'd probably be somewhere between Mac OS X and a typewriter if there wasn't a suitable alternative.
KDE and GNOME are not directly substitutable for many things.
That said, I do hope for improved recycling of things that can be and minimal duplication, and I think we have that more recently than we used to. -
10 years of waste
After more than a decade of doing the same thing twice because Miguel de Icaza and friends thought KDE wasnt 'free enough' (and no, the irony that he is on the other side of the 'free enough' debate isnt lost on me. I think its karmic payback) and decided to form Gnome, maybe we can get to business without having to reinvent the wheel.

MSCI Expands Lineup Of Economic Exposure Indices, Introduces Historical Security-Level Data
MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading provider of investment decision support tools worldwide, is extending its series of MSCI Economic Exposure Indices. In addition, the company is providing historical economic exposure security-level data back to fiscal year 2005 for all securities in the company's global flagship index, MSCI ACWI, consisting of developed and emerging market countries.
The 13 new indices include securities with revenue exposures to an expanded range of target regions and countries, including not only Emerging Markets but also Africa, China and Latin America. The MSCI World with China Exposure Index, for example, focuses on developed markets companies with high revenue exposures to China. In March 2012, MSCI launched the first series of Economic Exposure Indices which included a range of Developed Markets securities with high revenue exposures to Emerging Markets. See the full list of new MSCI Economic Exposure Indices .
In addition to increasing the lineup of Economic Exposure Indices, MSCI is introducing historical economic exposure security-level data. The historical data may be used for year-over-year analytical and reporting requirements and to identify economic exposure trends over time.
"The combination of our economic exposure indices and historical security-level data enables clients to consistently capture their revenue exposures within a global equity context. As an increasing number of clients use our economic exposure data to evaluate their portfolios for levels of potential risk and return, we find that economic exposure is becoming more integrated into the investment process," said Baer Pettit, Managing Director and Global Head of the MSCI Index Business.
MSCI was the first index provider to offer Economic Exposure Indices that identify the diverse geographic revenue streams of companies. For further information, visit MSCI Economic Exposure Indices and MSCI Economic Exposure Security Data. About MSCICheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month
Pros:Works well with iPad 2. Possible to connect camera or iPhone via cable. Also SD Card is working but only as picture storage and you can choose and import pictures you want to download to memory of iPad. SD card bay + Micro SD card bay. And of course Black color istead of original white :-)
Cons:Not working with iPhone 4S - I guess its iPhone problem - non supported accessory.
OtherThoughts:I can recommend. Looks well for adequate price (can be lower - around 5USD it could be ok) but in CZ Apple store Camera Kit costs 33USD (2 pieces) so 6.50USD for this one piece with the same funcionality.
Bottomline:Transport time to Czech republic 16 days, its OK.

Pop art
Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc.
Pop art employs aspects of mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects. Pop art is aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any given culture, most often through the use of irony. It is also associated with the artists' use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques.
Andy Warhol is probably the most famous figure in Pop Art, he is the father of the effect shown in the side image that we are going to reproduce through the Nokia Imaging SDK.
Basically the effect we are going to create is made by composing the cartoon and Halftone effect. Nokia imaging SDK provide a good implementatoin of Cartoon filter, but not of the Halftone who is the one on which we will focus.
Halftone is a technique that simulates continuous tone of an image through the use of dots, varying either in size, in shape or in spacing, thus generating a gradient like effect.
Where continuous tone images contains an infinite range of colors or greys, the halftone process reduces visual reproductions to an image that is printed with only one color of ink, in dots of differing size. This reproduction relies on a basic optical illusion that these tiny halftone dots are blended into smooth tones by the human eye.
Dot shapes
Though round dots are the most common used, there are different dot types available, each of them having their own characteristics.
- Round dots: most common, suitable for light images, especially for skin tones. They meet at a tonal value of 70%.
- Elliptical dots: appropriate for images with many objects. Elliptical dots meet at the tonal values 40% (pointed ends) and 60% (long side), so there is a risk of a pattern.
- Square dots: best for detailed images, not recommended for skin tones. The corners meet at a tonal value of 50%. The transition between the square dots can sometimes be visible to the human eye.
In this article we will focus on round dots as the algorithm is not dependent by the shape so once learned the techmique the user can use the one he prefer, also the most strange ones.
Creating the effect
There are plenty of tutorials and well done documentation explaining how to create a custom effect. As quick recap let's remember that to create a custom effect in managed code we need to inherit from CustomEffectBase while from DelegatingEffect in C++/CX.
In managed code, the basic looks like that:
public class DoubleEffect : CustomEffectBase
public DoubleEffect(IImageProvider source) : base(source)
protected override void OnProcess(PixelRegion sourcePixelRegion, PixelRegion targetPixelRegion)
Drawing dots
As we learned in the description of the effect, basically the image to process is divided into cells, computed the average lumimosity of the area then plot on the correponding cell a dot ( or the shape you decided ) of the size related to the luminosity of the area. The darker is the area the bigger is the dot size and vice versa.
The cell size is a crucial choice for a good effect. If too small we risk simply to dirty the image as the effect is not well visible, if too big we loose all details. A good default value is a cell 20x20 pixels, but based on the image size the user should be able to set the size best fit his tastes.
The approach proposed divide the pixel's luminosity range into ten smaller ranges. This choice comes from a lot of tests and seems to be the best one, but the user is free to change it. The luminosity mapping is linear:
Range | Dot size |
[0,25] | 20 pixels |
[26, 50] | 18 pixels |
[51,75] | 16 pixels |
[76,100] | 14 pixels |
[101,125] | 12 pixels |
[126,150] | 10 pixels |
[151,175] | 8 pixels |
[176,200] | 6 pixels |
[201,225 | 4 pixels |
[226,255] | 2 pixels |
What we need is a function that is able to build the dot template with the cell size and shape we decided to use that will be put on top of the processed area based on it's average luminosity.
The proposed function has the following code:
public class HalftoneEffect : CustomEffectBase
public HalftoneEffect(IImageProvider source)
: base(source)
protected override void OnProcess(PixelRegion sourcePixelRegion, PixelRegion targetPixelRegion)
private static void CreateDot(ref double[,] dot, uint outersize, uint innersize)
uint cx = outersize / 2;
uint cy = outersize / 2;
double _x = 0;
double _y = 0;
double distance = 0;
innersize /= 2;
for (int y = 0; y < outersize; y++)
for (int x = 0; x < outersize; x++)
_x = x - cx;
_y = y - cy;
distance = Math.Sqrt(_x * _x + _y * _y);
if (distance <= innersize)
dot[y, x] = 0;
dot[y, x] = 1;

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:It feels nice, it's nice too use, it makes you smile and the flat cable is very nice! It works fine, and charging is as fast as a standard cable.
Cons:the plugin in my ipad is not that smooth as an original cable but that's not something that bothers me. The transition from cable to plug on both ends has a strong look in the first place but if you look better you can see the light from the led on the transition part. The smile is not even lighted up, the mouth is much more bright than the eyes.
OtherThoughts:It is a pretty good gift.
Bottomline:A good product which i would really recommend to my friends.

It's 'common sense' – or is it? The politics of Obama's new favorite phrase.
Politicians from the president to the tea party use the rhetoric of 'common sense' to support their thinking on key issues. But is the phrase really telling us anything at all?
Jim Mone/AP
In these early days of his second term, President Obama isn't just promoting legislation on guns and immigration. The president and his surrogates are promoting "common-sense proposals" to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill, and a revamped, "common-sense" immigration system.
Indeed, it is rare in recent Obama administration pronouncements that the terms "gun measures" and "immigration reform" appear without the words "common sense" nearby.
At a campaign-style event on gun violence in Minneapolis on Monday, for instance, Mr. Obama used the phrase five times in a 15-minute speech.
"I need everybody who's listening to keep the pressure on your member of Congress to do the right thing," Obama said at the Minneapolis Police Department Special Operations Center. "Ask them if they support common-sense reforms like requiring universal background checks or restoring the ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines."
The use of "common sense" to woo the public is as old as the nation. In 1776, activist Thomas Paine wrote the best-selling pamphlet "Common Sense" to promote the idea of colonial independence from Britain – and the term has been deployed regularly for political use ever since.
"It has been a hallmark of populism on both the right and left," says Sophia Rosenfeld, a historian at the University of Virginia and author of "Common Sense: A Political History." "It was used to argue for abolition and also for slavery, for women's suffrage and against women's suffrage."

Hit by a sharp rise in the fuel subsidy bill, state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) on Wednesday reported a 5 per cent drop in its net profit in the quarter ended December 31, 2011. ONGC reported a net profit of Rs.6,741.41 crore in the October-December quarter as opposed to Rs.7,083.23 crore a year ago. It said the royalty it pays not just on its 30 per cent stake but also 70 per cent interest of Cairn India on crude oil produced from prolofic Rajasthan block is now being treated as cost recoverable. Cairn India does not pay royalty on its 70 per cent interest and prior to its takeover by London-based mining group Vedanta Resources, it considered royalty paid by ONGC was not recoverable from revenues earned from oil sales. But post the Vedanta deal, Cairn India treats royalty as a cost recoverable item like other taxes. As a result, an income of Rs.3,142 crore received from Cairn India towards royalty paid for the period August, 2009, to September, 2011, has been disclosed as an exceptional item.
The board of directors of the corporation has declared an interim dividend of Rs.6.25 per share.

Philips Carbon Black
Lower offtake by the tyre sector and dumping by China have dented the performance of Philips Carbon Black in the third quarter of the current fiscal. While riding on the back of a price increase, the top line grew by 19 per cent touching Rs.514.90 crore. The post-tax profit dropped by 31 per cent to Rs.19.60 crore.
The company said that its capacity utilisation had dropped in the face of lower offtake by tyre companies and higher imports of carbon black at dumping prices. Sales volumes were down by 17 per cent during the quarter.

Orchid Chemicals
Orchid Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals has reported a loss of Rs.11.06 crore at the net level (on a consolidated basis after taking into account an exceptional item loss of Rs.49.07 crore) in the third quarter ended December 31, 2011, against a profit of Rs.56.62 crore in the same period in the previous year.
Revenue went up by 4 per cent to Rs.496.80 crore from Rs. 478.50 crore in the year-ago period. In the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, revenue grew by 13 per cent to Rs.1,411.80 crore from Rs.1245.60 crore in the year-ago period. The net profit after tax was Rs.82.20 crore compared to Rs.97.40 crore.
"Higher interest charges due to the hardening of interest rates coupled with the exchange loss on outstanding foreign currency loans have impacted the bottom line in the third quarter, The exceptional item loss is a point-in-time restatement and with strengthening rupee, the company will have a write-back on this account", said K. Raghavendra Rao, Chairman and Managing Director in a press release.

http://moma.orgA preeminent artist of belle époque Paris, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) brought the language of the late-19th-century avant-garde to a broad public through his famous posters, prints, and illustrations for journals and magazines. You will be sure to recognize these prints, as their reproductions hang in any casually French dining establishment all over the world. A cultural nexus, he connected artists, performers, authors, intellectuals, and society figures of his day, creating a bridge between the brothels and society salons of the moment. His work allows entry into many facets of Parisian life, from politics to visual culture and the rise of popular entertainment in the form of cabarets and café-concerts. This exhibition, drawn almost exclusively from The Museum of Modern Art's stellar collection of posters, lithographs, printed ephemera, and illustrated books, is the first MoMA exhibition in 30 years dedicated solely to Lautrec, and features over 100 examples of the best-known works created during the apex of his career.

This seems like a stupid question but do the Jalapeño's from the boil go into the fermenter or or are they pulled out prior? Thanks, I'm looking forward to brewing this today.
Tap 1: Flying Monkey Smashbomb IPA Clone (with slight modifications) Tap 2: St. Amber Ale Bottled: Cream of Three Crops Cream Ale, St. Amber Ale, Adam Oatesmeal Bourbon Oak Aged Stout, Smashbomb IPA Clone, Smashing Pumpkin Ale Fermenter #1 - Jalapeño Cream Ale Fermenter #2 - Centennial Blonde
Subscribed. Will probably brew this next summer! Looks delicious!
Brewed a 10 gallon batch following this recipe and although it calls for only jalapeno, screw it, I'm brewing the beer. I threw in 7 jalapeno, 2 manzano and a poblano; all roasted by my propane torch. This is one fantastic beer. The aroma and taste is subtle, but identifiable. The heat is something that sneaks up on you and by the time you finish a pint, your mouth is definitely a bit tingly. Definitely doing this again.
Someone posted an extract conversion of this on page two (using the app) and it goes like this: replace the grains using 5.0lbs Extra Light DME .5lbs. Dextrine .61lbs. table sugar I that it? No corn or Vienna malt? Anyone else tried an extract version? I think it was beerphonic that posted an extract recipe they came up with but there wasn't an update. I'd love to do AG, just don't have the setup
So I just cracked the first beer of this batch after about a week of bottle conditioning to check it and it's pretty good. I did add a bit of the tincture and can taste a bit of the vodka. Should I expect that to mellow a bit? It did add quite a bit of heat though. Wow!

The Bottom Line From death, a new life will eventually spawn...
Imagine having the world at your fingertips one moment, and then losing it all the next. Imagine losing your only child, a 20 year old daughter to a senseless traffic accident. Imagine losing your wife less than a year later to a broken heart (called cancer by the 'doctors') Imagine losing it all. Imagine not being able to find a reason to live, to go on. Imagine leaving your life of fame and riches behind, to set out on a 50,000 mile journey on a motorcycle. Imagine trying to find something of your old self as you ride alone. Imagine being a ghost rider - reminded at every turn, at every crossroad, of what you've lost. Hard to imagine, isn't it? Unfortunately, the brilliant percussionist and lyricist of Rush, Neil Peart, didn't have to imagine it. He suffered through it, but prevailed somehow to write the following song, which appeared on Rush's last album 'Vapor Trails'. Imagine. "Ghost Rider" by Neil Peart Pack up all those phantoms Shoulder that invisible load Keep on riding north and west Haunting that wilderness road Like a ghost rider Carry all those phantoms Through bitter wind and stormy skies From the desert to the mountain From the lowest low to the highest high Like a ghost rider Keep on riding North and West Then circle South and East Show me beauty, but there is no peace For the ghost rider Shadows on the road behind Shadows on the road ahead Nothing can stop you now There's a shadow on the road behind There's a shadow on the road ahead Nothing can stop you now Sunrise in the mirror Lightens that invisible load Riding on a nameless quest Haunting that wilderness road Like a ghost rider Just an escape artist Racing against the night A wandering hermit Racing toward the light From the White Sands To the Canyonlands To the redwood stands To the Barren Lands Sunrise on the road behind Sunset on the road ahead There's nothing to stop you now Nothing can stop you now |

Johnny's World: Beauty
Falls Church News-Press: The gap between Madonna's two front teeth, the unadulterated largeness of Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian's famous rumps, the orangeness that is The Jersey Shore, the mole on Cindy Crawford's gorgeous face; how do all of these things that we'd see on a normal person and be culturally taught to make fun of become the things that make these people icons in the sense of beauty?
The cynical part of me would think that it is all just a good bit of PR. The more you can set yourself apart as a celebrity the better off you are. There is a point when a famous person will do idiotic things, simply because they can, but the way you look is timeless and forever and in many ways it shapes trends and modern culture.

i know the price range is can not to be compared, but im just trying to see which is better for the long run and is icon stage3 would be worth the extra money over ome
so i am trying to understand this the best i can... so after reading a lot i have come down to these to lifts. would like the truck to be level;so some people are saying they got 3" lift in front with ome885 and some 2 and some 2.5" i would like nothing higher then 2.5", trying to avoid most of the issues that come with complete 3", that being said is diff drop good or bad with 2.5 lift? and is there any preference for uca with ome, iwould like to just put it on just to be safe and if i understand this right ome has better wheel travel then 5100, and thats where the icon comes in, do i want extended travel or std travel will give good travel; and does having extended travel with 2.5" has pros or cons:
and why does ome come with cover on their shocks and icon which cost much more doesn't;wont dirt and mud get on the shocks? and ome kit says its a sports kit but is it still good for off roading?
now comes the rear end, everyone seems to like the dakar leaf and prefers but from what i understand is it still puts the rear about 2" higher then the front:
one more question..a lot of people are saying that ome kit drops about .5" after a week or so;r you going to need an alignment after it settles or no need and the icon one is adjustable, can it be adjusted after its install and do you need alignment after everytime you adjust it?
sorry for any dump questions... i just would like to know what the results would be for my actions...i know there will be surprises but try avoid most of them and know my options b4 i decide.
and thanks for all the feedbacks.

Gerrard plans long Reds stay
21 Nov 2008 - 17:38:13
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has reiterated his desire to spend the rest of his career at Anfield.
The 28-year-old England international midfielder, who has been linked with Chelsea in the past, is contracted to the Reds until the end of the 2010-11 campaign.
He told the club's official website: "Hopefully I will sign another one (contract) and stay for the remainder of my career.
"I don't know what's going to happen over the next ten years but certainly for the next five or six I hope I'm playing in Liverpool's first team.
"If someone had said ten years ago that I would go on to be captain and lift the European Cup then I wouldn't have believed them.
"But I've had to work very hard to get to where I am and to win trophies both on a personal level and as part of the team. I'm very proud to be able to say I have played for the first team for ten years.
"I certainly want to get my qualifications to enable me to coach and manage.
"We'll have to wait and see about management. Whether I'll be interested in the Gary Ablett (Liverpool reserve coach) role, the Sammy Lee (Liverpool assistant manager) role or the Rafa Benitez role, I don't know."

In June the Houston City Council considered adopting an amendment to the budget that would have initiated a process to draft an ordinance banning certain types of retail plastic check out bags. The original proposal specified a time table of approximately one year to develop and consider adoption of the ordinance. In the end the City Council passed an amendment to 'study' options to address the problem of plastic bag pollution, and declined to adopt a specific time table. Opponents of a plastic bag ban argued that a ban would hurt local plastic bag manufacturers, lead to job loss in that industry, and that expanded recycling of plastic bags should be attempted.
Hopefully the City of Houston has taken an important first step, and will now seriously address the problems of plastic bag pollution. We are grateful to Council Member Ed Gonzalez for considering and introducing this measure. Below is the statement of the Houston Sierra Club presented to Houston City Council during the June 19 public comment session. Statement for Houston Sierra Club:
"We strongly urge the City Council to proceed with the process to draft an ordinance to ban single use plastic check out bags at most retail stores. This type of discarded plastic bag litters our streets, highways, public spaces, and our streams and bayous. Bags on the street are washed to storm drains with the next rain, and often lead to blockages, exacerbating local street flooding.
Many school yards and public parks are blighted by these bags, particularly in less affluent neighborhoods. What message does it send to children to grow up in an environment that is constantly littered, or their streams and bayous trashed. When bags are picked up, they are soon replaced by newly discarded bags. It's an endless cycle.
Discarded plastic bags are a real environmental threat. Bags end up in waterways and eventually in bays and oceans. Bag pieces are mistaken as food by many forms of wildlife, often leading to their death. Plastic is very slow to break down, and plastic debris is accumulating at ever increasing rates in the oceans. Also some forms of plastic contain compounds that are harmful to health, and those harmful compounds can bio-accumulate when ingested by wildlife. Eventually these enter the human food chain. For more information on the hazards of plastic pollution, we recommend the documentary film 'Addicted to Plastic".
A growing number of cities across the country, including here in Texas are taking steps to curb plastic bag use.
Recycling plastic bags is difficult. Only a small percentage will actually get recycled. Most wind up in the trash, and then a landfill. Recyclers don't like them, because they can jam and damage sorting equipment.
On a personal note, every day when I walk my dog, I pick up plastic bags off the street, out the gutter, and out of storm drains. I am weary of the current situation that requires citizen volunteers and the taxpayer to clean up discarded bags. That is just inherently unfair. And even then many plastic bags never get picked up, but end up down a storm drain, then into a bayou.
I've been using reusable shopping bags for over 15 years now. It wasn't really a difficult adjustment. Actually it simplified my life. I no longer had to store accumulated plastic bags and try to find a place to recycle them. Reportedly it takes approximately 3 weeks to adopt a new habit. After my initial adjustment period, bringing my reusable bags to the store became second nature."

Product Description
Malcesine on Lake Garda Framed Art
24" X 36" Oil Painting On Canvas. Hand painted oil reproduction of a famous Klimt painting, Malcesine on Lake Garda. The original masterpiece was created in 1913. Today it has been carefully recreated detail-by-detail, color-by-color to near perfection.
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was one of the most innovative and controversial artists of the early twentieth century. Influenced by European avant-garde movements represented in the annual Secession exhibitions, Klimt's mature style combines richly decorative surface patterning with complex symbolism and allegory, often with overtly erotic content. This work of art has the same emotions and beauty as the original. Why not grace your home with this reproduced masterpiece? It is sure to bring many admirers!
- Reproductions are made in the same medium the artist intended when the art was created
- Original artist: Gustav Klimt
- Frame Description: Opulent Frame - Dark Stained Wood Gold Trim
- Comes with a Certificate assuring the authenticity of the fine art reproduction

In protests in March, tens of thousands of young people in both Palestinian territories demanded a democratic government that can unite the West Bank and Gaza. Police in Gaza used violence to suppress the protests. In the West Bank, the demonstrations were directed at Mahmoud Abbas, the head of Fatah, who is also the Palestinian Authority president.
This public pressure helps explain the surprise deal reached Wednesday by Hamas and Fatah. The tentative reconciliation pact, brokered by Egypt and scheduled to be formally signed May 4, aims to set up an interim government of independent technocrats that would hold presidential and parliamentary elections by the end of the year.
If the accord holds – and that's a big if, given the failure of two similar deals since 2007 – it might allow Palestinians to again speak as one.
That's important to solve one of the region's most intractable problems. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not only a drag on the Middle East but, as Gen. David Petraeus warned last year, "Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of US partnerships with governments and peoples."
Mr. Abbas appears to have given up on President Obama's ability to mediate a peace deal. Instead, he now plans to ask the United Nations General Assembly in September to grant international recognition of a Palestinian state. But his goal almost requires Palestinian unity, even if tenuous.

CSU Update
ear Colleagues,
The latest update from the CSU Chancellor's Office is provided below for your information.
Regards, Ham
The California State University Employee Update
Friday, June 26, 2009
State May Have to Issue IOU's; CSU Employees Will Receive Paychecks
State Controller John Chiang has announced that he will have to issue registered warrants or "IOUs" as early as July 2 if the legislature and governor cannot find a solution to close the $24.3 billion state budget gap. CSU employees, however, will be paid as they normally are and will not receive IOUs. Chiang said the state will have a $2.8 billion cash shortage at the start of the fiscal year July 1 which could grow to $6.5 billion in September in the absence of a balanced budget. More information: http://www.sco.ca.gov/.
System Leaders Meet to Discuss Budget Options
CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed and the 23 campus presidents met this week to discuss options to manage a proposed $584 million budget deficit. While no details were finalized, discussions will continue with the Board of Trustees at a special meeting July 7. The trustees will then use their regularly scheduled July 21 meeting to adopt an action plan that will be implemented systemwide and at the campuses.

Will wonders never cease...? It appears that relations between the forever-hapless Hatsumi and her haughty quasi-boyfriend Ryoki Tachibana are on the up-and-up, but not if Ryoki's mom has her way.
Deeming Hatsumi unworthy of her heavenly son's affections, Mrs. Tachibana hatches a scheme for Ryoki to fall in love with an equally brainy, upper-class young lady. Will Ryoki drop Hatsumi like a proverbial bag of dirt when this new "Little Miss Perfect" shows up?
Plus, an equally jaw-dropping flashback to Hatsumi's tiny-tot days that throws new light on how the veritable train wreck of her life got started.

Pioneer Editorial: Congress: Back to task on new jobs
In less than two weeks, Congress returns to work after a long summer recess. Hopefully, it will get right to work on measures to boost the economy.
The sluggish return from the deepest recession since the Great Depression has been difficult and is still ongoing. Unemployment is in double-digits and the stock market continues to languish.

The Folk Arts Program encourages the preservation and continuation of traditional culture and traditional/folk art throughout North Dakota. This is done through fieldwork that identifies and documents traditional art forms. This work is often used in exhibits, recordings, and other projects conducted by the NDCA. A number of books and enhanced CDs featuring traditional arts and culture are available for purchase through the NDCA. Accredited Summer Folklore and Folk Arts Classes are offered to K-12 teachers and the general public interested in learning more about folklore and folk art.
~ Grant Program available through Folk Arts includes the Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship.
~ BLOCH Documentary on the travels of Bloch in North Dakota now available! Bloch, an interactive global art project featuring a large tree trunk, is making one stop at each continent and North Dakota was selected as the North American location. The North Dakota Council on the Arts, in July and August 2014, participated in this global art project. The project involves a large spruce tree log that is traveling to every continent. The idea is to have communities interact with the log to communicate something to the world. North Dakota represented the North American continent through interaction with folk artists and folk communities. When Bloch came to North Dakota, it was bare. No artistic work was done to it even though it previously traveled to Europe and Asia. So, inspired by the Great Plains American Indian tradition, we interacted with the tree by transforming it into a "global talking stick" to communicate to the world who we are and what we are about. The Bloch made appearances at the Downtown Fargo Street Fair, Napoleon and the Nokota Horse Conservancy in Linton, Taylor Horsefest, Fort Totten Days, Spirit Lake Indian Reservation, Rugby, Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation, and the Hjemkmost Center in Fargo/Moorhead. As part of the project, a 23-minute documentary was produced showing Bloch's travels throughout North Dakota and the folk artists who interacted with and transformed the log. All the artwork shown on and with the log were done here. Due to time constraints and other factors, not every traditional artist or art form was able to be shown, though all are appreciated greatly. However, all the artists, sponsors, and local coordinators who participated are included in the credits at the end. The video is now available online at www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0W1NHf0JHY&list=UUKYnhL22CP3OENrjFAJxQdg. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed your talents, be it artistic or logistical, to the success of the North Dakota/North American component of this project. Thank you for presenting our area of the world in such a positive way. For more information, pictures and updates, be sure to visit on the Bloch-Blog at www.bloch23781.com/home; or on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/comcomart?fref=ts.
~ The Hammer and the Axe is a 5 ½-minute documentary featuring traditional blacksmith master Doug Swenson of Hawley, Minnesota, and his NDCA apprentice Tim Jorgensen of Fargo, North Dakota. The film was produced and directed by Greg Carlson who teaches in Concordia University's Communication Studies and Theatre Arts Department. Edging out hundreds of films submitted from around the world, The Hammer and the Axe received international honor as a finalist in the 2014 International Documentary Challenge. The film shows Doug and Tim working together through their 2013-14 Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts. This program is designed to help preserve and perpetuate traditional arts, skills, and knowledge by passing them on to apprentices, who must be North Dakota residents who will continue the tradition into the future. The documentary is available online at http://vimeo.com/93060846.

Four lesson plans (one pre, two while viewing, and one post viewing) for teachers and students are associated with each documentary. The lesson plans are based on the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction's Standards and Benchmarks. Schools and teachers are encouraged also to utilize these documentaries, lesson plans, and featured artists themselves with the NDCA's Artist-in-Residence and/or Teacher Incentive grant programs.

Pardew - 'I Won't Wish A Last Minute Defeat On Anyone'
Alan Pardew felt for the Anzhi players as United knocked them out of the competition in the last second of the match.
Alan Pardew: "I don't really want to wish another last-minute defeat on anybody else, but we kept pushing.
"We have got two young full-backs who went forward all night to try to create the moment, and perhaps we were rewarded for that endeavour more than anything else.
"We did the same against Stoke. You talk about the spirit of a team - it's very, very important. It's very underestimated at any level.
"The spirit of the team comes from the quality within it and the standard of character in the player. We had good characters out there tonight and good quality players."

As of Friday, February 1, 2013
© Copyright 2015
Gwinnett Daily Post
Back in the summer, unwillingly, I would rise early and take a run to beat some of the oppressive heat and humidity that smothers the South when the sun inches higher in the sky. Many mornings, I encountered something that would stick with me for the rest of the run.
Few cars were out so early on non-school mornings but I often saw a rusty pick-up, perhaps 25 years old, ancient according to today's need for new vehicles. A man, whose face was covered in gray whiskers, hunched over the steering wheel while a lanky, teenage boy slumped in the passenger's seat. The bed of the truck had cattle railings around it and tied to the boards were rusty rakes, shovels and hoes. There was a push mower in the back and it, too, had seen better days and many yards. The first time I saw it, I smiled. This is the South I love. The South that is unencumbered with keeping up with the moneyed class.
As is the tradition of Southerners, we always wave. Whether we know you or not. It's the neighborly thing to do. So, I would toss up a hand and the man responded by flinging up a couple of fingers that were resting on the steering wheel. After a few mornings of meeting the rusty truck and its passengers, I began to gain admiration. They were going to work. They didn't have much of the best things to work with -- not even a shiny shovel -- but what they had, pretty though it wasn't, worked. And so would they.
I stopped waving when I saw them. Instead, I took two fingers, touched my brow and saluted. For this is the America I love, the one I grew up believing in, the one where a man with a strong back and a willing spirit can feed and shelter his family. I know not this whiskered man or this young boy and chances are that never shall I know them, but I know all that is important: They are hard-working, ingenious, resourceful and prideful in a good way. They will rise with the sun, toil in its relentless heat and be proud of the crumpled dollars stuck in their pockets at the end of the day.
Where, I wonder, are these kinds of people when we need something done around the house? Whenever a repair arises, my heart sinks. I think of all the calls I'll make before someone returns one, of the days I'll wait until that someone shows up and the out-of-market kind of prices that will be demanded. Stubborn and frugal as I am, I will refuse to pay for such robbery and then set back through the trail of finding someone who will show up and do the work at a reasonable price. If it is a major repair, I will be in need of nerve medicine before it is finished.
Sure, we have a few folks to be counted on for dependability and fair pricing: Ronnie, our plumber; Doug, our septic tank guy; Allen, our cabinet maker. But they are the exception not the rule.
A few years ago, I needed a real estate attorney for a relatively simple matter. Three did not return my messages so I called the assistant to the lawyer who handles contracts and such for me. "Please ask him to recommend a real estate attorney who will call me back," I instructed.
Two or three days later she called to say, "I asked him and he said that if you want one who will call you back, it's going to be very expensive."
I was speechless. Still am. But now I understand all the other folks who have quoted such high prices -- returning calls and showing up makes a person valuable so they can charge more.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The two-channel AN/PRC-155 Manpack tactical networking radios will be included in U.S. Army's Capability Set (CS) 14, an integrated package of radios, satellite systems, software applications, smartphone-like devices and other network components. Units scheduled to receive CS 14 include organizations within the 101 st Air Assault Division, Fort Bragg, N.C. The two-channel PRC-155 Manpack networking radio will connect soldiers and commanders to the Soldier's Network, which includes the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) and other vital mission command on-the-move capabilities.
"The two-channel PRC-155 Manpack operates on multiple, government-owned waveforms to simultaneously connect soldiers on foot, in vehicles, in aircraft and helicopters to the Soldier's Network. The radio is a priority component of the Army's network modernization plan, and essential to CS 14," said Chris Marzilli, president of General Dynamics C4 Systems. "Soldiers and commanders serving in Afghanistan, Africa, Korea or other tactical locations now have a secure mobile, broadband communications network with mission command on-the-move so wherever they go, the network is right there, just like the network supporting a civilian's smartphone."
Using Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contracts since 2011, the Army has been able to maintain vital communications capabilities of the Soldier's Network for soldiers provisioned with CS 13 and 14. The industry team of General Dynamics and Rockwell Collins has completed the on time delivery of more than 3,400 two-channel Manpack radios in support of Army fielding requirements.
When connected to WIN-T, the PRC-155 Manpack and PRC-154/154A radios allow dispersed forces to talk, text, share images and collaborate wherever they serve worldwide. The PRC-155 Manpack also bridges networks – legacy to future, lower to upper echelons and unclassified to classified guard – allowing everyone from the command center to the soldier on the edge of the battlefield to stay connected.
