FLASH SPECIAL: LES MISERABLES Triumphantly Journeys On From Page To Stage To Screen
by Pat Cerasaro - December 21, 2012
While many MIZ-heads may have assumed the film adaptation of their beloved musical would never actually come to fruition, here it really is, all too soon available for all to see - lo, more than twenty years after it was first announced byway of an official promo ad in a tour souvenir going as far back as the late-1980s. I was lucky enough to catch an advance screening during the dawning days of December and many small moments, full musical sequences and my first impressions themselves have filled me with a certain kind of inexpressible enrapturing ecstasy heretofore inexperienced, coming as a direct result, no doubt, of the sheer force of power the film exacts in its relentless, barreling, blazingly bravado-bedecked style - a style, I can firmly say, is completely unique in movie history. LES MISERABLES is a lot of things, but, first and foremost, it is that which it is unlike that makes it most remarkable of all; that is: it is unlike any movie musical ever made. And, it is a masterpiece. (more...)

STAGE TUBE: On This Day 12/21 - JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
by Stage Tube - December 21, 2012
Today in 1970, JESUS CHRIST SUERSTAR creators Andrew Lloyd Webber and Time Rice received gold records for the original cast album of the show. The musical started off as a rock opera concept recording before its first staging on Broadway in 1971. The musical is based very loosely on the Gospels' account of the last week of Jesus' life, beginning with the preparation for the arrival of Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem, and ending with the crucifixion. It highlights political and interpersonal struggles between Judas Iscariot and Jesus, struggles that are not in the Bible. The resurrection is not included. It therefore largely follows the form of a traditional passion play. (more...)

A Preview of the Return of "Crossfire" on CNN this Fall; Will Feature Newt Gingrich, S.E. Cupp, Van Jones and Stephanie Cutter – Video 6/26/13
Here is basically a preview of CNN's return of "Crossfire." They are bringing back the Conservative vs. Liberal debate program, and it will feature Newt Gingrich and S.E. Cupp on the Conservative side vs. Van Jones and Stephanie Cutter on the liberal side. They appeared together on "Piers Morgan" last night and debated the Supreme Court rulings on Gay Marriage and the Texas Abortion battle. It's not a true feel of what the new show will be like because you had Piers Morgan sticking his Leftist yap into the fray, making it three against two. It should be interesting to see how this new program does.
Below is another segment that gives a truer sense of what the show may be like without the interference of Piers Morgan. Newt Gingrich and Stephanie Cutter debated on Wolf Blitzer's show the Supreme Court decisions:

The young girls today are so smart and it makes me feel good to know that you girls will NOT settle for the pickle juice and are always striving for more.

The Corrs
This Irish quartet -- the fourth member is the Corr brother -- have brought us songs such as "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" and "Runaway", with a Celtic touch backed by the voilin and the tin whistle.
AppealPut it this way; we aren't exactly the biggest fans of Irish folk music, but one look at the Corr sisters convinced us to listen to their album.
SuccessThey have had some form of success internationally with some hit songs although they could have done much more with a successful tour in the US. What would really boast their career is a revival in Celtic music similar to the revival seen with Latin music.
The Corrs BiographyThe Corrs' Irish background is attributed to the fact that they grew up in Dundalk, Ireland, on the border of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Music ran in the Corr family genes, with the Corrs' parents being musicians and the Corr children growing up in a home that was always filled with music.
For the Corr siblings, there was no question that they were going to pursue a career in music, since being musicians was all they ever wanted to do. The Corrs formed in 1990 and it didn't take long for them to be discovered by their future manager, John Hughes. Hughes was looking for musicians for the Alan Parker film, The Commitments, and stumbled upon The Corrs during his hunt.
The group's amicable relationship with Hughes led to future concerts, after he invited them to play at a special The Commitments live show in Dublin in 1991.
Soon after, The Corrs performed at a local pub and luckily, Jean Kennedy Smith, the U.S. Ambassador to Ireland, was in the audience. Fascinated by their performance, Smith invited them to the US to perform at a World Cup celebration in Boston. This would be the perfect opportunity for the group to gain US publicity and to meet with big record labels.
With luck on their side, there was another important figure in the audience of their American show -- Atlantic Senior Vice President Jason Flom, who suggested they should meet with David Foster, Atlantic Vice President and Producer. Foster was in New York City working with Michael Jackson at the time, and high level security made it impossible for The Corrs to arrange a meeting with him.
Taking a chance and taking matters into their own hands, the quartet went to the studio unannounced and waited for Foster in the waiting room. They played live in the studio for Foster, who was blown away by their performance and immediately signed them to Atlantic Records.
In 1995, The Corrs' debut album, Forgiven Not Forgotten was released, selling more than 2 million copies worldwide. They followed up their internationally successful debut with an equally successful album, Talk On Corners, in 1997.
Although The Corrs' albums have gone platinum in many countries, the group hasn't seen the same success in the United States. Performances on shows such as Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Saturday Night Live, Today, Good Morning America, and Beverly Hills, 90210, helped increase the group's recognition in the US. Touring with acts such as Celine Dion and Michael Bolton was also a great help.
Active in important causes, The Corrs performed at Luciano Pavarotti's "Pavarotti & Friends War Child Concert for Liberia" in Italy, as well as the Prince's Trust benefit concert in London, and initiated and organized a concert to benefit the victims of the 1998 bombing in Omagh, Northern Ireland, to raise money for the Omagh Memorial Fund.
Audiences may remember Andrea Corr (the group's lead vocalist) as Juan Peron's mistress in Alan Parker's Evita, which starred Madonna.

The European Union Summit on Sunday would try to work out a plan to solve the region's debt crisis. Warren Hogan, chief economist and head (global markets research), Australia and New Zealand Banking Group tells Parnika Sokhi this would have an impact on India. Edited excerpts:
What are your expectations from the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) policy review next week?
The real issue for central banks of Asian countries and RBI is how much of impact the problems in Europe would have on inflation in India. The real issue, in a policy perspective, is if you have the policy settings right, you can afford the pause. Of all Asian economies, India is heavily linked with Europe, and that's why for RBI, the outcome of the EU meeting would be important.
What do you think would be outcome of the EU meeting?
Policymakers in Europe need to demonstrate to the market that their priorities are restructuring of debt and recapitalisation of banks, and that the broad framework of financing these activities is in place. We can wait for the actual plan till the G20 meeting, but the outline is needed now.
Are the problems of the US and euro zone interlinked, and how can the US deal with its own challenges?
Which Asian economies would be more vulnerable to these developments in the West?
India has the highest exposure to Europe, but the economies that are most exposed to the slowdown are economies like Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Philippines. The slowdown has not had a big impact India, China and Indonesia.

NASHVILLE � A federal oversight group has released a report that says a new federal courthouse planned in Nashville isn't necessary.
NASHVILLE � A federal oversight group has released a report that says a new federal courthouse planned in Nashville isn�t necessary.
The conclusion by the Government Accountability Office has left U.S. District Judge William J. Haynes Jr. angry. The Tennessean reports Haynes cited security concerns and an increasing caseload as reasons that a new facility is needed to serve Middle Tennessee residents.
�To abandon this important project will result not only in a significant fiscal loss, but a significant communal loss of an important facility necessary for the Court to serve the future needs of the communities of Middle Tennessee,� Haynes, who is the chief federal judge for the Middle District of Tennessee, wrote in a letter to the Tennessee Bar Association.
The GAO report, however, says federal standards call for courthouses to be short by two or more courtrooms before a new one is built. The report says the Nashville courthouse has no such shortage.
The newspaper reports about $26 million has already been spent to replace the Estes Kefauver Building, which was constructed in 1952.
U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, who supports a new courthouse, says the report doesn�t consider how outdated the Kefauver building has become � not to mention how magnified the cost can become if the project is delayed.
�It�s a very delicate situation,� said Cooper, a Democrat. �A multiyear delay can cost the federal government more than it saves.
�We played by the rules. We haven�t elbowed our way in the federal line. We shouldn�t be punished for that.�
Courthouse supporters say the building doesn�t have separate halls and elevators for prisoners and there have been instances of jurors confronting defendants. They have also pointed to problems with water leaks and with the building�s heating and air conditioning system.
There has been debate on whether to replace Nashville�s federal courthouse since the early 1990s, and about 10 years ago federal officials announced plans to build a new one. Since then, officials have worked on design and property acquisition.
The total amount for the project was estimated at $144 million, but the GAO report found the cost likely would be higher.

Past time for fresh blood
Friday's [Nov. 23] column in the Denton Record-Chronicle by Doyle McManus is almost a joke.
His "Time for fresh blood" in our government should have been accomplished during the last election and have the fresh blood starting at the top of the political race.
It looks like this article has done no more than a simple reshuffle of the sad leaders we endured for the past four years. I assume Obama will retain his long list of czars who were totally worthless and dangerous to our freedom.
One possible new member of his sad staff is John Kerry, and that only makes the water more stale.
With his new tax program, that will be harmful to all citizens, and retention of Sen. Harry Reid, we can face a very hard and disastrous four years ahead of us and still be without a budget.
If he had any desire to create a good government, he would have selected a few special Republicans to step in and show his current crowd how to retain our freedom.
The first, and best move, should have been to dump the Obamacare program to avoid the massive tax increase for all citizens, including the middle class.
Good luck, America, for the next four years.
Ray Roberts,

Yup, other than being kind of wonky in the beginning with CLI/upgrades I can't complain -- I just earned four 10% off coupons by charging a bunch of appliances on my Target Visa. I figure I'll need Target badly when it comes time to furnish the house with regular house stuff!

FDBA strongly urge all junior player enquiries be directed to local affiliated clubs. A list of clubs and contact details can be found HERE.
The FDBA recommends that if you are looking for a team to play basketball with, you come down to the Frankston Basketball Centre on the night you would like to play. Have a look at the standard you think you would be capable of playing, and see if there are teams who need players, and approach them. This has proven to be the most effective way for individual players to find a game.
Alternatively, you can fill out the form below and we will place you on our Player Enquiry List database. If an existing team contacts us looking for a new player we pass your details directly onto them. Good Luck!

I have a site request for a webshop. The client has all their products (around 15000) in their accounting software.
This software has a module that can make a connection with your webshop. It works more or less like this:
* Accounting software puts all product details in XML-files on an FTP-server
* Webshop connects to FTP-server
* Sales in webshop create XML-files that are uploaded to FTP-server, accounting software processes these
The client also needs to be able to add extra content to products (images etc…) which doesn't need to be re-synchronized with the accounting software.
I think this might go a bit beyond extending https://github.com/nyeholt/silverstripe-external-content. What do you think?

On Monday, September 3, in El Jadida, Morocco, over the course of three focused 90-minute sessions, 78 representatives of civil society organizations and governments--both men and women--from the Broader Middle East and North Africa met to discuss actions and changes that are urgently needed to empower women in the region.
After weeks of diplomatic conversations and hours of hard work to make it all come together, the First Preparatory Meeting of the 9th Forum for the Future will take place in El Jadida, Morocco, September 3-4, 2012.
Late yesterday afternoon the League received an official notification from the State Department indicating that regrettably the first regional workshop on women's empowerment scheduled to take place in Doha July 10-12 needed to be postponed.
The first regional workshop, one in a series of meetings to be organized on the road to the 9th Forum for the Future, begins in Doha, Qatar on July 10.
The official briefing to the diplomatic corps about the objectives of the BMENA NGO Initiative took place on Wednesday, May 30th at the George C. Marshall Center of the U.S. Department of State.
As we continue to prepare for the First Regional Workshop on Women's Empowerment of the 2012 G8 Broader Middle East and North Africa ("BMENA") Initiative, the League of Women Voters invites you to better get to know our BMENA nation co-chair, Tunisia.
As part of our current work towards the 9th Forum for the Future scheduled to be held in Tunisia in December, I traveled last weekend to Tunis-Carthage, Tunisia to meet the leaders of the nongovernmental organization that will be our partners in this endeavor.
We're excited to announce that we have finalized the location for our first meeting of the Broader Middle East and North Africa Initiative (BMENA) – we'll be in Doha, Qatar, July 11 and 12!
We have made a lot of progress since our post last week! We have reached out and secured a core group of friends and partners to work with us to complement our expertise by providing strategic advice on different themes.
The Broader Middle East and North Africa nations include Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, West Bank/Gaza and Yemen.
For the first time since 2004, the United States has assumed the G-8 Presidency for 2012 and, in that role, has co-chair responsibilities for the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) initiative. The BMENA initiative is a multilateral effort to promote cooperation between the G-8 and BMENA governments and civil society to advance reform efforts throughout the region. The United States has invited Tunisia to serve as BMENA co-chair, marking the first time that two democracies have led the initiative.
To assist the government co-chairs in developing themes, agendas, and concrete efforts to promote reform in the MENA region, each country selects an NGO partner. The NGO partners coordinate closely with each other and with the co-chair governments in support of BMENA activities, culminating in the ministerial-level Forum for the Future, which will be held in Tunisia in December 2012.
The League has accepted the invitation to partner with the United States as its 2012 BMENA Initiative NGO partner. The role of the League is to organize 10 preparatory meetings that will take place in 8 different countries between April and October, efforts which will culminate with the ministerial meeting in December. The League efforts are going by a team of three headed by Zaida Arguedas. The League's Global Democracy Program worked in Egypt and in Tunisia in 2011 and has strong ties with local organizations.
See the final publication of the 8th Forum for the Future 2011 below.

A visit to Genoa is not complete without a trip to this lovely cemetery, which is situated at Staglieno. We are now about one and a half miles beyond the city limits, from which this place is easily reached by means of electric cars. This cemetery is most beautifully located on the broad, gentle slope of the north bank of the Bisagno River. It was laid out by Resasco, in 1867, and the original cost was two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It consists of a grand quadrangle surrounded by a cloister in which vaults are arranged ; and here also is a collection of the finest monuments to be found in any cemetery in the world. In the center of the quadrangle is a colossal statue twenty-seven feet high, by Santo Varni. We see the central rotunda or chapel, which is built of the choicest Carrara marble, standing at the summit of a grand marble staircase constructed in sections on account of the terraces. On the highest terrace are statues of two persons who, by their gifts, have made possible the artistic elegance of this city of the dead. The interior of this noble rotunda is furnished in a most elaborate manner, and contains a spacious gallery which is supported by six-teen Doric columns twenty-seven feet high and eleven feet in circumference, each one of a single block of black Como marble.
On either side of this rotunda we may see the marble cloister, with pilasters between the arches, beneath which, in many cases, monuments may be seen. Back of these monuments are the vaults in which the remains are interred. Large vaults cost seven thousand dollars and belong to the wealthy, while the middle classes occupy receptacles, the smallest of which, and the least desirable, are sold for one hundred dollars.
Have you overlooked the graves in front of the cloisters which you see this side of the rotunda? If you have not given them special attention I wish you would now. Do you see anything significant in their being dug out here in the ground, especially in view of the fact that each one has a neat, white headstone? A Genoese, notwithstanding the gleaming headstones and the broad, snowy background which the cloister with its matchless monuments affords, never passes these graves but with a feeling of pity in his heart. Only the poor are buried in the ground in Genoa, for, while marble is cheap and a headstone costs almost nothing, to lie out in the dirt, beneath the snow and the rain, is considered a sad consummation to one's earthly existence ; and hence a grave may be bought for only a few dollars.
The tower on the hill beyond the opposite cloister belongs to the church which you see nestling so peacefully beneath the shadow of those old olive trees and which is just outside the Campo Santo. Part way up this slope are a number of hillside tombs. Back of the dome of the rotunda is the tomb of Giuseppe Mazzini, author, agitator, states-man, and one of the most remarkable Italians of his age, without whom the political regeneration of the country would have been impossible. He died in 1872, and was accorded a public funeral by the government. His tomb is a massive structure built of granite with bronze gates.
On the mountain top farthest to the right is seen a monastery which commands a glorious view of the surrounding country.
This Campo Santo is situated on historic ground, for, from its hilltop could be seen the vast army that embarked for the Crusades, and right past this place .marched the army of seven thousand children who entered the city clamoring for transport to take them to Palestine under the command of a boy of thirteen, whom they called their general.
We will now take a look into one of the cloisters of this remarkable cemetery.

BEIRUT: As Secretary of State John Kerry delivered his opening remarks at the Syria peace talks in Switzerland on Wednesday, he expressed outrage at new revelations of the brutal tactics perpetrated by President Bashar Assad's regime.
Evidence of the execution of thousands of Syrians in Assad's prisons, Kerry said, represented "an appalling assault, not only on human lives, but on human dignity and on every standard by which the international community tries to organise itself."
Kerry was referring to a report released this week based on the testimony of a defector within the Syrian military police, which seems to provide evidence of the systematic torture of thousands of detainees in Assad's prisons.
The defector, known only by the code name Caesar, provided roughly 55,000 images showing dead prisoners bearing the tell-tale signs of strangulation, brutal beatings, and starvation.
The Assad regime's enforcers had obsessively photographed the murdered men and kept track of them by reference numbers.
Maher Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian telecommunications engineer, has not been able to look at these images, or the other pictures and videos streaming out of his native country over the past three years.
They brought with them flashbacks from his own experience: in 2002 and 2003, he was Prisoner No. 2 in an underground cell at Syrian military intelligence's Palestine Branch in Damascus, where he was beaten and whipped with two-inch thick electrical cables until he gave into his interrogators' demands and falsely confessed to having been trained at a terrorist camp in Afghanistan.
The only mystery for Arar is why Americans are shocked at reports of torture in Syrian prisons. "What surprises me is the reaction of some people in the West, as if it's news to them," he told Foreign Policy. "As far back as the early 1990s ... the State Department reports on Syria have been very blunt — the fact is, Syria tortures people."
It's history that the US government knows all too well — because, at times, it has exploited the Assad regime's brutality for its own ends. Arar was sent to Assad's prisons by the US: in Sept 2002, the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) detained him during a layover at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. US officials believed, partially on the basis of inaccurate information provided by Canada, that Arar was a member of Al Qaeda.
After his detention in New York, Arar was flown to Amman, Jordan, where he was driven across the border into Syria.
"Successive US administrations may not agree with the politics of Bashar al-Assad, but when you have a common enemy called Al Qaeda — that changes everything," Arar said. "[S]ince 9/11, Assad's regime has been used for what the media now calls 'torture by proxy.'"
In Arar's case, however, he had no actual ties to Al Qaeda to confess. He was eventually released in Oct 2003, and both Syria and Canada admitted that they had no evidence tying him to terrorism.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a former apology to Arar, and announced that the government would pay him a settlement of almost $10 million for his ordeal. Arar currently resides in Canada.
After the 9/11 attacks, the CIA's use of extraordinary rendition — the practice of sending terrorism suspects to a third country for interrogation, including the use of methods that may be illegal in the US — "expanded beyond recognition," journalist Jane Mayer wrote in The New Yorker.
"Globalizing Torture," a report published by the Open Society Justice Initiative, provides the names of 136 detainees who were subjected to extraordinary rendition or secret detention. Of those detainees, at least eight were sent by the CIA to Assad's jails.
Despite the wide range of disagreements between the Bush administration and Assad, US-Syrian intelligence cooperation in pursuit of Al Qaeda represented a détente of sorts between the two governments.
When ties soured in 2006, a parliamentarian close to Assad's feared domestic enforcer, Assad Shawkat, told US diplomats that Shawkat "still considered himself a friend of the United States.
" In Feb 2010, when US officials were trying to persuade Assad to stem the flow of jihadists into Iraq, intelligence chief Gen Ali Mamlouk told a US delegation in Damascus: "President Assad wants cooperation, [and] we should take the lead on that cooperation."
The Syrian regime is once again trying to repair its relationship with the US and Europe by invoking their shared intelligence goals: before the Syria peace talks began, Assad said that their main objective should be "the fight against terrorism".
The US government has never apologised to Arar for rendering him to Syria, or admitted that he was tortured in Assad's jails. So it's no surprise, perhaps, that Arar believes US officials' surprise at the latest revelation is more than a little hypocritical.
"Of course, the US government will always ask for assurances for people not to be tortured," he said. "But they know that those assurances are not worth the ink they're written with. They know that once a person gets there — they know what's going to happen."

How Does Systematic Risk Impact Stocks ? A Study On the French Financial Market
From CAC40 French stock index, we induce the implied market factor's level through the inversion of a closed form pricing formula for European calls on the CAC40. For this purpose, we assume that the CAC40 index is a disturbed observation of the actual market factor, the market factor's diffusion following a geometric Brownian motion. All the assumptions prevailing in a Black & Scholes world are assumed to hold. Based on daily data, the results show that the level of the implied market factor and its instantaneous return's volatility are leptokurtic distributed. Having a proxy for the systematic risk, we also study the impact of the implied market factor on a basket of French assets. First, we compute correlations of assets' returns with the return of the implied market factor, and realize as well a VAR study and a Granger causality test. Second, we estimate regressions of French assets' returns on the return of the implied market factor. Then, we characterize the prevailing relationship between the weekly rolling volatility of the return of the implied market factor and weekly rolling volatilities of the French asset returns. These two studies lead to mitigated results.

The ruling Democratic Party of Japan was quick to rule out a shakeup of DPJ executives over the defeat in the Upper House election, but Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa and other members indicated Tuesday someone should be held responsible.
"The DPJ went into this election as a whole and I think (someone) needs to take responsibility for the defeat," Kitazawa told reporters, indicating that otherwise it would be hard to feel a sense of crisis over the party's setback.
Some DPJ lawmakers have said Secretary General Yukio Edano should step down, but Kitazawa refused to single out the individual ultimately in charge of the party's election management. The defense minister, however, was quick to say Prime Minister Naoto Kan should remain in his post.
"We can't keep changing prime ministers every season to take responsibility whenever" something happens, Kitazawa said.
The DPJ failed Sunday, even with coalition partner Kokumin Shinto (People's New Party), to retain control of the Upper House. But it suffered a particularly crushing defeat in the single-seat districts. The Liberal Democratic Party won 21 seats while the DPJ could only capture eight.
Kitazawa, 72, said the loss stemmed in part from Edano's overconfidence in the spike in the DPJ's support rate when Kan replaced the unpopular Yukio Hatoyama in early June and tapped Edano to fill the post vacated by scandal-tainted party don Ichiro Ozawa.
The campaign strategy for single-seat districts determined who won or lost, Kitazawa said, "But the new secretary general saw the support rate recover and grew optimistic, and I think it was a big mistake that we failed to develop that strategy."
Kitazawa himself fought a tough battle in Nagano Prefecture but managed to win a fourth term.
He was forced into the difficult situation of not only running against a strong rival from the LDP but also a second DPJ candidate in the two-seat district. This had been part of Ozawa's strategy to field several candidates in multiseat districts.
"The fighting power that the DPJ possessed was scattered," Kitazawa said. "If we had been organized, we could have poured all of our energies into single-seat districts instead of throwing support behind one candidate or the other in the two-seat districts or into closely contested districts. I think there is room for reflection."
Worries over defeat
Wataru Aso, president of the National Governors Association, voiced concern Tuesday that the crushing defeat of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan in the Upper House election will make it difficult to implement key policies.
"Political confusion or drift is set to last a long time," Aso, who is governor of Fukuoka, said at a news conference. "It has become difficult for the government to put into practice policies to solve key social problems.

Kids show off wheelchair skills
9:00am Tuesday 21st February 2012
By Emily Roberts
9:00am Tuesday 21st February 2012
By Emily Roberts
WHEELCHAIR dance moves and basketball skills were taught to disabled youngsters in Basingstoke.
Organised by charity Go Kids Go, the youngsters were taught various tricks at a session held in Queen Mary's College in Cliddesden Road.
They were joined by their parents and siblings, who also used wheelchairs for the day to join in the fun and find out what it is like not to be able to use your legs properly.
Daniel Olayiwola has muscular dystrophy. The 14-year-old Everest Community Academy student from Winklebury, said: "I use a wheelchair from time to time, mostly at school. The condition affects my legs.
"Today has been really good. I have learned how to deal with kerbs, roads and overcome obstacles. It can be quite difficult but I try to have a go with most sports."
Jo Turner brought her four children to the workshop, including her 10-year-old twins, Sam and Jeff.
Jeff has cerebral palsy and uses the wheelchair for longer journeys.
Mrs Turner said: "It's been good fun and very useful, especially in terms of safety."
Roy Wild, training manager, taught the group dance moves and how to play wheelchair basketball.
He also showed them how to get down a flight of stairs safely.
He told The Gazette: "We look at using the wheelchair outside such as on slopes and road safety but there's also a fun element with the basketball and dancing.
"The workshop is designed to get them moving independently."

Experiential Learning
Experiential Learning is an essential and integrated element of the Bader International Study Centre's programs. It serves to transform academic knowledge into the skills that students will use every day as leaders in their respective fields. As such, Experiential Learning Opportunities (ELOs) are a key feature of the BISC academic experience and are a part of every course that we offer. ELOs can include any number of academic pursuits outside the classroom environment, such as engaging in discussion with visiting speakers, attending networking events, and engaging in problem-based learning activities.
The combination of classroom discussion and activities outside the classroom reflects the BISC's emphasis on anchoring the academic experience in direct observation and participation. Students benefit from a high level of inquiry – as any university graduate student would expect – and our ELOs combine self-learning with guided research on primary source materials of all kinds. This provides a stimulating way to learn more about your course material, and an unmatched opportunity to absorb first-hand, the extraordinary riches of our world and its people.
Our Experiential Learning Opportunities are course-specific, with your professors planning all off-site lectures. These will add considerable depth and variety to your learning experience. Students studying music for example, may critique La Traviata at the National Opera in London. Politics students may find themselves experiencing government first hand by interviewing Westminster Parliamentarians. Those studying International Relations visit the International Maritime Organization HQ in London to evaluate how marine safety standards continue to facilitate world trade over a hundred years after the Titanic disaster. There is no better way to learn than to experience first-hand!

What sexy costume should I wear to a Halloween party ?
I'm gonna go to a Halloween party this month and need to start figuring out something sexy to wear. I was thinking that I should buy a costume from the store I buy my sexy lingerie from , they also sell sexy Halloween costumes there but I don't know what to wear. I love cats so maybe I could be a sexy cat but I want some opinions.
The reason why I ask is because there's a prize for best dressed at the party and I love competing.
I think you should either be a
French Maid
Little Red Riding Hood
Super Hero
Mad Hatter
Alice in Wonderland
School Girl
Baseball Player
All of these suggestions are for sexy costumes
Most of These you can find at
Halloween Costumes.com
or just type in
Sexy Halloween Costumes for teens
or just
Look up sexy adult costumes but check the sizes.
I hope you find something good............
I just got a new lingerie stewardess costume and I have no idea how to present it?? Please any help!!!?
I just got the cutest/sexiest lingerie costume, it's a victorias secret stewardess, but when I wear it, I feel that im going to look awkward in front of my husband, what can I say/do to bring it on, I feel I would look stupid just walking out randomly wearing it.. how could I make it spontaneous and sexy at the same time and not corny :) thanks!
I love doing this! What helped me the first time was to show it to a friend, not wearing it just the outfit itself, and they encouraged me! If you trust someone wear it around them first and see what they say (like a GF) or wear it around the house and get used to the way you feel in it, you'd be surprised how much this calms your anxiety of wearing it for someone and makes you a lil horny at the same time ;) All in all he will probably be to shocked and turned on to care IF you pop out in it randomly! There are so many fun ways to present it! Have fun!
Who knows where the Girls Next Door got their costumes or where to get classy lingerie costumes?
I'm tired of the skanky legs avenue-esque costumes every girl has. I want something more decadent and classy than fake leather and cotton. So I guess what I'm looking for is an upscale sexy lingerie boutique/costume website similar to the kind of costumes Holly and Bridget wear
Try lalalingerie.com, they have so many cute lingerie costumes:

I am planning a trip for December and we will not be staying on property. Everything that I heard is to avoid the parks with EMH. How far in advance do they publish which parks have EMH on which days or is it always the same?
I am planning a trip for December and we will not be staying on property. Everything that I heard is to avoid the parks with EMH. How far in advance do they publish which parks have EMH on which days or is it always the same?
I don't know and I don't care if It's a Small World. It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland.
Usually you can find EMH hours 2 to 3 months ahead. Go to disneyworld.com, select any park, and select Calendar on the left side. It will give you the option to look a few months ahead.
As to your basic premise, I don't agree that all EMH hours are bad. There's a big difference between morning and evening EMH - here's how it plays out. I really like morning EMH. You have that extra hour that most people just don't want to get up early for while on vacation. The park will be really empty, only getting busy late in the morning or early in the afternoon. And once it gets busy you just bounce to another park, or do like I do - go back to your hotel for a nice vacation nap!
The evening EMH is a bit different. Since a lot of people who are staying on site will want to take advantage of evening EMH, that park will build in attendence all afternoon. By the time EMH starts you have wall to wall people. Usually this crowd will taper off after 90 minutes or so, leaving you the final 90 minutes of the day with relatively low crowds. But for me, a guy who likes to be at rope drop each morning, staying later in the evening just isn't all that attractive. So yeah, I'll tend to steer clear of evening EMH. But those mornings are incredibly valuable to me!
Actually Dan, EMHs are usually listed on the calendar when it comes out 6 months in advance. Like everything it's possible they may change as it gets closer to the actual dates.
But the OP is staying off property so will not have access to EMH so they should definitely avoid the parks that have them.
If no-one out there understands, start your own revolution and cut out the middle man (Billy Bragg)
You may want to invest in Touring Plans. You can use their park crowd estimates to plan your trip. If you join through mousesavers (.com) you get a nice little break on the fee. I used them for the first time on my most recent trip this past Jan. It really helped me plan which park on which day, but be prepared, when they say expect a crowd level of 8 or 9 that means wall to wall people LITERALLY.They also have something called "cheat sheets", it's a spreadsheet with suggestions on when best to do a certain attraction. Use the fastpass system it's really your best shot at getting into anything. Since you'll be there during the holiday season take the time to visit the resorts all decked out in their best. It's a great time to be in the World! Happy planning!
Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever.
Since you are staying offsite - this is a very important tip:
Go to the official Disney website the week before you go - and again when you get there - and double check the regular and EMH hours.
The reason that you are doing this is because if Disney (based on the number of onsite room reservations) decides that there will be a fair number of guests in a given week, regular park hours might be "extended". They most often do this at MK (but they have been known to do it at the other parks as well, but usually only by an hour). Extended hours are always added on to the end of the day, they are never added on to the beginning of the day and most importantly, extended hours of operation are NOT EMH hours.
I stayed onsite at the beginning of December 2011 - and there were a few extended hours of operation, but I didn't write them down (because I was staying onsite, so it didn't matter to me).
However, in early March, I stayed offsite (because I also went out to the Gulf Coast) so I made sure that I checked the week before I went and there were some extended hours at the parks. The bad news is that I only made note of the MK extended hours, because I was only interested in the MK extended hours - but the good news is that I kept the notes.
On Monday, March 5th, AK was the morning EMH and DHS was the evening EMH so only onsite guests could be at those parks for EMH. However, the MK hours of operation on Monday, March 5th were extended until midnight, so all guests (staying both on and offsite) could be at the MK until midnight.
On Tuesday, March 6th, Epcot was the morning EMH, so only onsite guests could be at Epcot for EMH. However, the MK hours of operation on Tuesday, March 6th were extended until 11 PM, so all guests (staying both on and offsite) could be at the MK until 11 PM.
On Wednesday, March 7th, AK was the morning EMH, so only onsite guests could be at the AK for EMH. However, the MK hours of operation on Wednesday, March 7th were extended until 10 PM, so all guests (staying both on and offsite) could be at the MK until 10 PM.
When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier. - Roy Disney

Betsey Solberg discusses hopes and challenges for the new fundraising year
In May the PR executive and civic leader was elected chair of the UMKC Foundation board
Aug. 8, 2013
In February 2006, on Betsey Solberg's last day at the public relations firm FleishmanHillard, she received a call from Alan Atterbury, then chair of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Board of Trustees. He wanted her to "set up" an endowment fund for UMKC.
The "Time to Get It Right" report on higher education in Kansas City had recommended the independent fund for the university. Thoughtful negotiations with the University of Missouri System would be required to get it approved.
Solberg, along with several trustees, took on the challenge of setting up the endowment, and three years after starting, when the UMKC Foundation was officially established in August 2009, she took a seat on the foundation board. This past May, Solberg was elected to succeed Atterbury as board chair.
Solberg's professional career has been spent as a journalist, writer and public relations professional, notably helping build the international public relations firm FleishmanHillard from two to 83 offices worldwide, in addition to her role as managing partner of the Kansas City office. She currently serves as executive consultant to the firm.
During her career, Solberg has consulted with publicly- and privately-held organizations on internal and external issues including mergers and acquisitions, hostile takeovers, toxic waste sitings, corporate media crises, environmental issues and explosions, just to name a few.
But beyond her professional life, Solberg's resume includes a long list of civic activities that reflect her dedication to the Kansas City community.
Solberg has chaired the Civic Council of Greater Kansas City, the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the Kansas City Area Development Council, as well as the Missouri Development Finance Board, which provided approximately $50 million in tax credits to area projects including the Kauffman Center, Starlight Theater, Truman Library, Harvesters and the Downtown Library garage. She has served on boards of Starlight, Union Station, the Truman Library Institute, the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation and the Pembroke Hill School. Solberg is a longtime member of the UMKC Trustees.
As Solberg begins her term leading the foundation board, the Campaign for UMKC is entering its fifth year. Having already raised almost $173 million toward its $250 million goal, the capital campaign is well on its way to succeeding in its mission of building UMKC into one of the top urban universities in the country. In a recent interview, Solberg shared some of her goals and hopes for the foundation in the coming year.
Why do you believe in the mission of the UMKC Foundation? The mission "to raise funds and invest them wisely" is firm and succinct. It is our commitment of stewardship to contributors who are supporting the goal of creating a greater university.
How can the foundation help the university and the city? You cannot have a great city without a great university. We educate a smart workforce and build outstanding citizens who will stay in the Kansas City area. These students are innovative and thoughtful and they have good work ethics. We raise the funds that develop programs in 11 schools, which educate teachers, dentists, doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, business leaders, engineers, artists and performers and researchers, among others.
What do you see as the foundation's priorities in the coming year? There are jaw-dropping as well as challenging projects ahead that will change the face and feel of Kansas City as well as the university. A primary focus today, of course, is the downtown campus where we need to raise $23 million more in private funds to match Julia Irene Kauffman's challenge grant. The grant for a new conservatory will bring youth and energy to downtown and the Crossroads. This is huge — and achievable.
There's also the new basketball program, primed to become a competitive NCAA team. We are raising money to move our basketball team to a completely renovated Municipal Auditorium arena, also downtown. The arena, the floor, the scoreboard and seats will be all new — as well the the great young players who we know will create excitement and spirit that only athletics can build.
We have our eyes clearly focused on a stronger educational program and are building an Honors Program that will attract the finest academic students in this region. This is a lofty goal that is already advancing thanks to a UMKC Trustees' challenge $1.8 million matching grant.
How will the foundation go about raising the funds required to match that recently announced $20 million grant from the Muriel McBrien Kauffman Foundation to build a downtown arts campus? Fortunately, we have raised $21 million to date, so we need another $23 million privately to match the Kauffman grant. Chancellor Morton and Murray Blackwelder, president of the foundation, are working hard on this project along with others. We will then apply to the state for a $44 million match.
What is one
thing you hope every Kansas Citian knows about the university? Smart
people learn from smart people and winners attract
greater winners. This is a great university that has made enormous strides in
the last few years. Go look at Hospital Hill and the Volker campus and study
the plans for downtown projects only a few years from reality. The Miller
Nichols Learning Center and the Henry Bloch Executive Hall for Entrepreneurship
and Innovation have dedications Oct. 1; the new basketball program begins
downtown Nov. 8. Keep your eyes on this university because it is reaching out
to everyone everywhere.
UMKC is having the greatest impact on this city. Ever.

Chad and I were on vacation in New Orleans when he proposed to me exactly a year ago today!!!!….funny thing is I totally knew it was going to happen.
We happened on a stationery store on Magazine Street where I found these incredibly cute [and helpful] binders from Russel and Hazel and bought them for my wedding planning even before he popped the question! The large one I bought for all my images, the small one I bought for notes at meetings, and the tote I bought just because. I've always HATED those "cookie cutter" wedding planners they have in stores…too girly and frilly…so I just made my own. If you happen to get one of the wedding planners with a 3-ring binder as a gift, definitely use some of those sheets to help get you started in a new fabulous binder, then fill the rest with sheet protectors for your images.

TAMPA — Four men posing as utility workers tried to steal copper from an underground Verizon cable network, police said.
At about 3:30 a.m., someone watched the group set up a false work area at S Himes and Alline avenues and uncover and enter a manhole, police said.
The witness called police.
When police arrived, the men — Danilo Castellanos, 35; Orleans Hernandez, 43; Simon Loo Rosello, 32; and Omar Conde Rojas, 38 — fled.
Officers caught up to Castellanos and Hernandez in a rental truck and took them into custody. They seized the rental truck, another 26-foot truck, hard hats, safety vests and cutting tools.
Warrants were issued for the arrests of Loo Rosello and Conde Rojas. Castellanos and Hernandez were charged with trespassing and larceny in relation to utilities, theft of copper and criminal mischief.

After a lower court rejected its lawsuit against Euralair S.A. last month, Belgium's Flying Group has appealed to a Paris court charging Euralair failed to comply with its commitment to assign the business assets of its Euralair Airport Services FBO (EAS) to Flying Group, which has included it in its plans to set up operations at Paris Le Bourget Airport.
In early April Euralair owner Alexandre Couvelaire told EBACE Convention News the Bobigny, France commercial court "dismissed Flying Group's claims against Euralair and EAS aimed at enforcing the sale by EAS of its FBO business." Flying Group spokesman Ben Paindavin subsequently confirmed that an appeal would go ahead. He insisted that the planned takeover could have eased EAS's financial problems because the deal would have cleared its debts. "The April judgment is unfair. We paid EAS a lot of money and now the judge is allowing it to be our competitor," he said.
Flying Group president Bernard Van Milders said he and Couvelaire signed a protocol on March 25, 2005, that included the assignment to Flying Group of EAS's business assets and its existing infrastructure at Le Bourget. He said that the business assets had not been assigned. "Couvelaire refused to hand them over although he had confirmed on October 6 that an agreement was in place on this matter," van Milders stated.
Couvelaire insisted he had never signed an agreement to sell the FBO business. "Our agreement over the real estate is OK but. . .there was no agreement on the final terms regarding the FBO [whereby] Flying Group would have taken about 80 percent [and the rest would have remained] with Euralair," he said.
The Euralair boss added that Flying Group had "failed to include its Cannes-Mandelieu FBO in the planned joint-venture company." Flying Group's Paindavin agreed there had been some changes to the original deal, but these were "minor and could have been resolved through communication."

TEL AVIV (Jul. 9)
E1 A1, the Israel national airline, took delivery today on the first of a new fleet of Briston Britannias, huge British-built turboprop passenger planes which will be the backbone of the line's expansion program. Two more are due for delivery by October.
The first plane, No. 310, piloted by Capt, Tom Jones of E1 A1, landed at Lydda seven hours and ten minutes after it took to the air near Bristol. The new airliner was greeted at Lydda by E1 A1 officials and a party of Israel Air Force officers, led by their commander, Col. Dan Tolkowski.
