Sure glad it wasn't any worse than it was. There are too many bad endings very similar to your story every year. Similar to wearing a harness while hunting a tree stand, gravity is there as well, and the sudden stop is not your friend. Unfortunately there are many related stories about that every year as well.
I hunt is some pretty back woods areas where the closest ER is easily over an hour away if your driving over the speed limit. Cell phone service is also VERY spotty as well. When I leave the truck, barn, or house, I keep the thought of my friend or wife finding me in some unfortunate fashion, hours after I should have been home. This keeps me a bit more on my toes with things like this.
So far the worst thing I have had happen was herniating two disc while out hog hunting. I bent over to go under some low limbs, and it felt like I was pole axed right in the hips. It literally took my feet out from under me and my breath away. Luckily my friend and his wife had stopped where I had parked my 4 wheeler, knowing I should have already been there now some time after dark. Since they had no idea where I was they simply waited. When they saw my faint light down the road they came and got me.
It was the worst two hour drive I have ever made to get home, and I can honestly say, that Dodge puts a VERY stout steering wheel on their trucks, because I tried my best to bend mine into a pretzle during the trip several times. The DR at the ER said he was amazed I was able to still walk, and that I was lucky that neither of them had ruptured, or I would have been right where I went down, and had to have been brought out professionally to keep from being ruined for life. It sure shed a whole new light on getting back in the thick stuff where the big ones hang out for sure.
I think your story is another sound reminder to us all, that we owe it to ourselves, and especially our familes, and hunting friends, to think things through a bit more while out in the woods. Sometimes even the simplest of things can have grave consiquences.

Choosing a version of Linux
Hey all, I am looking into switching over to Linux but I don't have any experience with it what so ever. Right now I am trying to figure out what would be the best version of Linux for me to go with.
I have been checking out a link from another forum that referenced a Linux Chooser test. The article went on to list a couple versions of Linux.
The ones they mentioned were Ubuntu, Kubuntu, OpenSuSE, Freespire and Mandriva. I was checking out some of the screenshots for those and they all looked pretty similar.
Since the chooser is supposed to rule out a lot of the big considerations when choosing a version of Linux, are there any other major differences between these versions.
If it has been narrowed down to a graphical consideration I will probably go with Ubuntu, or Kubuntu but I wanted to check if there are any other things I need to be looking at. Any advice is appreciated.
I think that you have put enough effort into deciding which distribution to use. The next step is to try a few. I recommend that you try both Kubuntu and Ubuntu from their live CDs (keeping in mind that LiveCDs run slow). Then install whichever you like best and try that one from the hard drive.
Steve Stites
Welcome to Linux, and nice going re: doing a bit of research and/or taking that quiz to get you started. Enjoy!
Try ubuntu first.
Go to http://distrowatch.com/ and on the right are the top hits of linux distros.
Alright, so lets start from the top.
You are new to linux and wish to know which version will make you feel most comfortable and right at home.
The best idea and suggestion is not to look at screenshots because most of them are submitted by experienced users that changed the look and feel of the distro.
The best way to get a grip on things in my perspective is the LiveCD option, which is available in most well known distros.
This will give you the option to experience a default installation of the system without actually changing information on your harddrive.
I have been working with RedHat from 4.10 until 7, after that switched to Fedora Core and right now I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, I chose Ubuntu for the ease of use and the extreme manipulation available in it.
Ubuntu will give you a well needed "welcome aboard" feeling that new linux users might look for.
So keep reading about Ubuntu and other distros you might like.
Have a great day.
Ubuntu has a reputation as being newbie-friendly (I seem to be the only one who didn't find it particularly so) and its forum is said to be well-frequented. I think you need as many sources of help as you can get when you are a newbie, so an active newbie-friendly forum is a must.
Freespire is very "glossy" and seems to have a lot of installed packages (music players and the like). I only looked at it briefly - it had a bit "too much going on" for my taste.
Mandriva's forum is well-frequented, there's a permanent "Mandriva guy" there who answers questions and I found it newbie-tolerant and friendly. It has what I thought was a quite newbie-friendly setup "control centre". I think it's worth a look.
As everyone has said, grab one and give it a look - or download them all and see if anything "leaps out at you" to make you love it. Only you can decide what you like.

SAN MARCOS -- Steve Lilly, the founding dean of the College of Education at Cal State San Marcos, said Monday he intends to retire from his post when this semester ends, but will stay on as a consultant, to help the new leadership learn the job.
His formal retirement from the university would come in the summer of 2005.
Mark Baldwin, a CSUSM professor since 1995 and a former assistant principal at Poway High School, has accepted a 12-month appointment as interim dean beginning July 1, the university said. Baldwin is on leave this year and serves as an academic advisor to the United Arab Emirates University.
The university said it will conduct a national search for Lilly's replacement and expects to fill the post by July 1, 2005.
Lilly, chairman of university President Karen S. Haynes' newly formed transition team, arrived as dean at CSUSM in August 1990 to welcome the first students in the College of Education. He said 25 students were training to teach in the elementary schools at that time, and that last year, some 500 newly trained teachers earned their credentials at CSUSM.
A native of southern Indiana, Lilly came to San Marcos after sixyears as dean of the College of Education at Washington State University in Pullman. He studied mathematics as an undergraduateat Bellarmine College in Louisville, Ky., and did his graduate workat Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.
Lilly, a San Marcos resident who said he has no plans to move from North County, said retirement and his year in quasi-retirement are "just the beginning of a new set of opportunities."
He said it is important he stay around the next academic year to transmit the institutional memory accumulated over more than a decade to his successors.
"I find so often, particularly with people who have been in jobs 14 years as I have, that a lot of institutional memory goes when the person leaves," he said. "So to be able to transfer that memory is important."
As founding dean of the college, Lilly built strong alliances with the school districts in North County and Southwest Riverside County and invited the public schools to send top faculty to the university as distinguished teachers in residence and help train future educators.
Baldwin, the interim dean, did undergraduate work at the University of California at Irvine and graduate studies at San Diego State and Northern Arizona University, where he earned a doctorate in education.
The College of Education is one of three academic divisions at Cal State San Marcos. The others are the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Business Administration.

Words By B. L. Lauvray
Dallas 95, New York 85
There's something rotten in the state of Denmark (or NYC). What was looking like a fun, points!-points!-points! offense, "OMG LINSANITY!" a mere three weeks ago has turned into something downright pedestrian over the course of the past eight games. 85 points against a very "meh" Mavs defense? With 'Melo, Amare, JR Smith and Jeremy Lin? Mike D'Antoni is looking less genius-like than ever at this point. And yes, I know, "But, 120 against Cleveland and 111 against Boston." Guys, I know, it's just a trend I'm noticing overall. The Knicks offense needs help, in spite of those Cleveland and Boston games, this squad also hung 92 on the juggernaut known as New Jersey and a mighty 85 on New Orleans.
Lamar Odom got 23 minutes of run. Sigh. Feel better Lamar. Eat some sour straws, slowly pick yourself up, we all know what you can do. Coolest thing about this game was Dirk (28) v. Amare (26). Dirk's soft, unblockable, unflappable stroke from the charity stripe; Amare's softened aerial array and his ever-evolving collection of jumpers. Nice job, boys. But, yeah, Knicks need to fix that offense if they don't wanna be playing golf before May 15.
Charlotte 100, Orlando 84
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes the Bobcats just pistol-whipped the Magic. I'm a major Dwight hater [tosses objectivity out window], but oh was this good. Dwight pulled a great magic (pun!) trick in the fourth quarter, disappearing like he was in The Prestige. Five points for "Mr. I Want The Ball More In The Clutch" as Bismack Biyombo had his personal NBA quinceanera in this game –four blocks (two on Dwight shots) in the fourth quarter alone– on his way to 10 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks in 32 minutes. The "Yo, What's Up" Award for the night –spoiler!– goes to Corey Maggette who proved to us (and himself) that he's not quite dead yet. Mags finished with 29 (9-17, 10-11 FT) and 7 boards.
Atlanta 101, Indiana 96
Not entirely sure how Indiana lost this one. The slow start? I guess so. But, wow, did the Pacers and Hawks just decide to switch unis or something? Lack of ball movement, poor shot selection, uninspired effort on the glass? You tell me if that sounds like ATL or Indy, because I'm talking about the Pacers and I sorta can't believe it. Frank Vogel probably ate a chalkboard and wrestled a grizzly in a phone booth after this one. "Just venting for venting's sake, team, I'll be out in a minute." Vogel, a fairly emphatic "play hard for 48 minutes"-type can't be thrilled with the effort the Pacers showed in this one. Extra wind sprints won't help, coach, the team's tired.
Great job by the Hawks to steal a needed, confidence-builder to start a six-game road swing. Plus, don't look now, but the Hawks have won three in a row with two of those wins against squads named "Oklahoma City" and "Indiana." "Impressive, ninjas!"

This was hardly the first time Patric Young had that feeling shortly before his team was supposed to take the floor. It's a terrible feeling, the kind that can run a surging team like Florida into a brick wall.
Something was off. If his Gators didn't start fast, a bad first half was perfectly feasible.
"It was almost everybody this time. Normally it's only one or two guys," Young said. "I don't know. It's a team atmosphere. It's an inner feeling, an intuition."
Fast-forward an hour or so and that feeling turned into an eight-point halftime deficit to Auburn. The Tigers came into the game ranked No. 157 in RPI and left the O'Connell Center five games below .500 in Southeastern Conference play, but somewhere in the middle they looked like the team to knock off No. 2.
Everything that Florida has been praised for, Auburn seemed to expose.
One of the best defenses in the country? The Tigers shot 47.8 percent from the field and 52.6 percent (10 of 19) from beyond the arc.
A vastly improved frontcourt? After one half, Young and forward Dorian Finney-Smith combined to go 0 for 3 from the field with one rebound. Young improved drastically in the second half - 5 for 6 from the field, 17 points, seven rebounds and the game-winning free throws - but Finney-Smith had his worst night as a Gator, three points and two rebounds.
"We've just got to do a better job of coming out with more energy," said Michael Frazier II, who hit a critical 3-pointer with 41 seconds remaining. "It's so hard to work out of it. Not to take anything from Auburn, but if we play a better team and they get us down like that, it's not going to be easy to climb back."
Never one to sugarcoat, Billy Donovan felt his team was outplayed. Four days after capping off a national statement kind of week that included wins at Tennessee and No. 14 Kentucky, he hoped what happened against Auburn reminded his players just how fragile all they've done is.
"They are in uncharted territory, our players are. I've got to find a way to do a better job in terms of mentally getting them to play close to their potential," Donovan said. "To me, in my opinion, outside of the Tennessee game, we have not played well at home. I don't know if it's a complacency, if they're relaxed, everything is going to be OK. I don't know."
Wednesday's win might not have been definitive but it does give the Gators the longest winning streak in school history at 18 and ties the best start in UF history at 24-2. The last team to do that won a national title. No. 1 Syracuse lost Wednesday night. A win Saturday at Ole Miss and Florida is almost certainly college basketball's new No. 1.
The bright side of all this is the fact this win will be treated like a loss in many ways. Donovan admitted he'd allow for momentary celebration, but players know better.
"Looking at film (Thursday) is going to be pretty bad. It's probably going to be like an hour and a half guaranteed just on the 3-point line," Young said. "Just him yelling at us."
Donovan said Young, who has battled tendinitis in his knees all season, almost didn't play Wednesday. "He told me before the game he could play. His knees are ailing. I thought he was phenomenal in the second half," Donovan said.
Freshman point guard Kasey Hill (strained groin) missed Wednesday's game is doubtful for Saturday's game against Ole Miss. "Hill is not progressing as fast as we thought he would."
Frazier came down awkwardly on his left wrist in the second half and sported ice on it after the game. Donovan said he is fine.

Titles currently in development for next generation consoles using Frostbite are already looking "spectacular" and gamers are going to be "pretty excited" about what's on the way, EA chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen has said.
"We've always been moving Battlefield well out on the specs because of the huge PC embedded base of that business. And so moving from gen-three to a gen-four is not a huge uptick in cost," he explained during a question and answer session at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco.
"The other key advantage for us is we've been building those types of titles on Frostbite, which is our proprietary engine. Moving Frostbite up to gen-four was a big task, but once you've done that, you now can do that across multiple titles as long as they're using the Frostbite engine.
"That's been going on over the last year. The early look on some of those products is spectacular. It will be interesting to see how it plays out as it ultimately gets finished."
Regarding the next generation consoles, Jorgensen said: "No one's really seen yet... I mean, we have internally, but no one externally has really seen what the look and feel will be like on the new consoles. So I'll reserve judgement other than to say that I think people are going to be pretty excited."
He concluded: "I remind people to look at whatever device they're using in the room right now, and I guarantee virtually none of those existed two years ago, let alone seven years ago. So you've got to imagine, seven years is a long time in technology. We're probably going to see a lot of exciting things when it comes to the new consoles."

Hilltown Archives The Altamont Enterprise, December 2, 2010
Revolving closet is run by BKW students
BERNE This month, as Hilltown residents clean out their closets, they can help fill the closets of those in need.
For the second year, Erin Snyder's students are running a virtual store in their classroom Room 158 at the secondary school in Berne. Snyder's students are in the PEAKS program, which stands for Path to Education through Achievement, Knowledge and Success and, according to Christine Geraci, spokeswoman for Berne-Knox-Westerlo, is for students who need extra help in classes.
"They had a lot of success with it last year," said Geraci. "The students help arrange the clothes."
Donations of almost any garment but underwear may be made directly to Room 158 or to the high school office, by Dec. 8. Geraci listed these items that would be useful: sneakers, purses, ties, dresses, shorts, tank tops, kids' toys, and jackets.
Overnight, the students will set up shop in Room 158 where other students and their families may browse and pick up items free of charge.
The classroom store will be open till 4 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from Dec. 9 to 22.
Students will be able to take the late bus home if they decide to come in and shop.
Any items left after Dec. 22 will be donated to the Salvation Army.

text: I'm stuck. I don't know which mod to book. Well, actually, we already have a reservation for ASMo but we're going to switch to a moderate instead. I've previously stayed at POFQ and loved it but we want to stay somewhere else. It will be myself, my DH, and our 3 year old DD. We typically don't spend a lot of time at the resort, maybe one afternoon for swimming and relaxing, otherwise we'll be in the parks. We are only paying to stay in the "standard" rooms at each resort, no preferred rooms or anything. We'd like to be semi-close to the buses, but I know without paying for a preferred location we won't be really close. Oh, and if you suggest a resort, where should I "request" to stay at that resort? We'll only hit up the resort restaurant for breakfasts, and how hard is it to really screw up eggs and waffles?? Help narrow my decision down, my DH left it all up to me!!! Thanks!!!

Just the other morning I was just finished getting ready for work when my daughter walked into the room. Sleepy bugs and all just having crawled out of bed she walks over to me:
Honey: "Mama?"
Mom: "Yes Honey, what's wrong?" (I could tell by the tone in her voice something was bothering her.
Honey: "My hand feels really weird."
Mom: I realized quickly that she had obviously slept on it wrong and it was "sleeping". So I said just that to her. Then I asked, "Does it feel all tingly, like little pins?"
Honey: "No" she said, "It feels like little bugs are crawling all in side my hand!"
Oh I had to try so hard not to laugh and loved how she was explaining the sensation!

A NEW project aiming to help people get back into employment and training through volunteering has been launched.
Newport's Riverfront Theatre has teamed up with Family Skills Newport to give six volunteers the chance to be an usher during its family film programme.
Family Skills is part of the wider Families First programme, a programme from the Welsh Government that supports families living in poverty.
In Newport, the programme has a clear emphasis on prevention and early intervention with many agencies pooling their skills and working together to help the whole family.
Family Skills creates volunteer opportunities for parents with young children who are looking to get back into work and raise their confidence and skills.
Seven volunteers have signed up to the scheme running throughout August, which will see them work as ushers during 15 screenings of the Riverfront Theatre's family films.
On July 30 the volunteers underwent training led by project co-ordinator Kate Aspinwall, along with the theatres technical manager Owen Davies, and experienced usher Emma Goodwin.
From Monday they will undergo a 'shadow shift' before taking on the role for real.
As part of the programme, the volunteers must complete a minimum of three shifts to receive a job reference from front of house manager Glenys Burnett-Jones.
In September the volunteers will have an awards evening where they will received a certificate in recognition of their work and the possibility of having further opportunities to work with the theatre.
Paul Chambers of the Riverfront Theatre said: "The volunteers are of various ages and different backgrounds.
"They are really skilled people and this scheme gives them the confidence to get back into work.
"This is the first time the Riverfront Theatre has done something like this on this scale.
"Volunteers will take on the quite expansive role which includes monitoring the safety of the public the whole time they are in the theatre, checking the auditorium and selling merchandise.
"More than 120 people will be in each screening of our family films such as 'How to Train Your Dragon' and "Pudsey The Dog: The Movie' with each volunteer receiving a certificate at the end of the placement."
Kate Aspinwall, the project coordinator of the Family Skills scheme said the pilot project will provide volunteers with the opportunity to learn transferable skills that will be valuable to future employers.
"We hope it will be a real confidence boost for the volunteers and provide them with a platform for opportunities in the future," she said.
"We want them to have fun, learn and have a really good experience."

As budgets continue to be slashed and regional interests shift, some university and research dairies are shuttering for good. The latest is Fort Hays State University, currently a 35-cow dairy in an antiquated facility with a double-four parlor.
The Hays Daily News cites little demand for dairy students from the university's small dairy because the state's larger operations look to bigger universities for employees.
The cattle were used by the college's Black and Bridle Club, at the local county fair, and for many years at the Kansas State Fair. The cattle will be sold tomorrow to La Crosse Livestock, and the area will be used for the university's beef unit.

If Selena Gomez Throws Any More Shade, The Sun Will Just Have To Retire
While Selena Gomez isn't quite going off the rails yet, she's certainly going off the script. The formally cute 'n sweet star kicked off this Tour de Tude earlier this month by giving the Lorde a backhanded compliment during a radio interview. And now she's continuing it by going on a rant about class during a concert at the Barclays Center in NYC this past weekend. While the words themselves are totally positive, the tone is not at all. She's like your friend right after a break-up pretending like she doesn't care about her ex at all. Sure she's saying all the right things ("honestly, he wasn't the one for me"), but she's going about it in the wrongest way (telling you all this as she burns up photos of him at a get-over-it bonfire that she asked you to attend).
I mean, maybe I'm reading too much into this. Maybe I'm getting too excited for this Lorde versus Pop Music feud. Or maybe I'm just catching the last straw before the war breaks out. While it's obvi key that you watch this video so that you can hear the tone, let me give you some (hypothetical) context for what you're going to hear.
At the climax of her speech, Selens says, "You know, people tell me all the time that I am not sexy enough or I'm not cool enough. Or I would be cool if I did this. But can I say one thing? One thing that I think is sexy is class. And there is nothing wrong with that." Which, dare I say it, sounds like a rebuttal to Lorde's comment last week about her music. In case you somehow missed that because you were in a coma or something, here's what happened. In an interview with MTV News, Lorde said that the "hater" culture in music is outta control right now. And that she's standing by her comment about Selena's music being anti-feminist. A comment that we're sure did not sit so well with Selena.
Is this whole rant a not-so-sublte dig at Lorde for not backing down…or am I just a 26-year-old too obsessed with middle school drama? Fingers crossed for the former.

Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balm
Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balm Reviews
Another great organic lip balm.I am a loyal Burt's Bees user, but picked this up to check out the competition. Turns out Dr. Bronner knows his stuff. This Organic balm is a little more soft and "liquidy" than Burt's, giving a little more shine, almost like a gloss. It seems to be a good moisturizer as well. I really like how smoothly it goes on. — 8 years, 2 months agomelissakz | 15 reviews

if you like burt's bees, you'll love this!i just recently discovered dr. bronner's lip balm after buying the peppermint soap for years. i was putting together a care package for a friend doing volunteer medical work in Guatemala and wanted to give her some travel size products. dr. bronner's soap was a no brainer, since it can have so many uses. then i spotted this and picked up a few of these. ( i never like to be without chapstick!)...read more i like the all natural organic ingredients that are so hydrating for my lips. peppermint is still my favorite, as it feels both invigorating and soothing. at such a great price you can afford to stock up on several sticks at once. — 9 years, 3 months agotinylittlebird | 88 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
This is a little like Marty Peretz being assailed at Harvard by people holding placards with his own repugnant words on them, only stronger. Benny Morris, the Israeli historian who has rationalized ethnic cleansing to create a majority-Jewish state in '48, being badgered as he walks to a lecture hall at London School of Economics to make an appearance. Schlumpfy historian. Note the intensity of the accusations, racism, justifying apartheid. The mood is shifting across Europe, and it's coming here. Morris losing prestige, Zionism losing prestige.
A member of the audience reports: "He purports to be a historian yet when asked questions for example — "How can Palestinians be asked to compromise with their own land?" (when he painted a picture at how wonderful and considerate Israel was for offering them 45% a while back) — his response — 'I have only scratched the surface in my research; you would need at least 10 historians working together to answer these questions.' He must have given this reply at least 5 times. He failed to discuss the refugee problem other than to say that it was caused by the Arab-led war. He also referred to the Jewish refugees (Jews forced to leave and expelled by Arab countries) which he said people aren't aware of as they were all absorbed by Israel. . . Several protesters left during his lecture with stickers taped over their mouths and holding up signs as they left. "

I am 200 lbs and 6'0, and I want butt implants so bad. I originally wanted fat grafting, until I kept seeing forums where doctors said you will lose 60 percent of the fat. Is this true? And if so, if I get implants in underneath my muscles, will they get hard and immovable? Please give me honest answers, I will pay any amount for my procedure!
I Just Want a Big, but HEALTHY, Butt! Are Implants A Good Option For Me?
Doctor Answers 1
How Much Fat Survives with the Brazilian Butt Lift.....?
I have to disagree with the statement that when you have the Brazilian Butt Lift that 60% of the fat goes away! I believe it is more like 20-30% goes away on average. I have done cases where I'd estimate about 100% survival and worst case scenario where about 40-50% survival. In EVERY case however, EVERY patient has a 100% natural appearance and feel to their buttocks, and almost always their size is larger than they would have gotten with implants. The results you obtain all depends on how the procedure is done and what you do afterwards. As I tell all of my patients..... Dead Fat Cells Always Go Away! If the surgeon's technique doesn't work, or if YOU don't follow the recommendations after surgery, your fat may die!
I do not recommend Butt Implants to anyone unless they have no fat to be transferred. Butt Implants have a very high complication rate which requires removal in up to 30% of patients who get them. I have done many Butt Implants with many happy patients, and unfortunately some not so happy. I use Butt Implants as a last resort only!

DAVID LEVINE, BURNT SUN. IMAGE COURTESY OF ANDRE CONTANTINI Art festival "Crossing the Line" returns for a sixth edition from Sept. 14–Oct. 14. Locations in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan —Times Square, Essex Street Market, St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church, The Kitchen, Invisible Dog Art Center, Abrons Art Center, and the Chocolate Factory—will be occupied by boundary-pushing artists like musician Gérald Kurdian, who performs a solo pop music concert and magic tricks between songs.
"Crossing the Line" features work by 18 international artists who "evolve forms appropriate to the intention of the work, unbounded by the narrow notions of artistic discipline," says co-curator Simon Dove, director of the Herberger Institute School of Dance at Arizona State University. Lili Chopra, Artistic Director of FIAF, and Gideon Lester, Bard College's Director of Theater Programs, are co-curators.
At the Essex Street Market, Brooklyn- and Berlin-based artist David Levine stages Habit, a free theater event set inside a functional and furnished ranch house designed by Marsha Ginsberg. "There's recognizably private activity going on; people whispering, making out, changing clothes, bathing. There's stuff to see, intimacies to violate," says Levine. For eight hours each day for nine days, three actors perform a 90-minute script on loop, written by experimental playwright, Jason Grote. The performers alter the staging to eat, wash, and recline, as they like, creating a dynamic play that is different each run.
Following sold-out performances at last year's "Crossing the Line," Congolese choreographer Faustin Linyekula presents Le Cargo, a contemporary dance solo charged with turbulent histories and memories. "Le Cargo is my first solo piece and certainly one of my most intimate ones," says Linyekula. In Dialogue, Linyekula and renowned theater director Peter Sellars engage in a discussion in which they consider the arts as a platform for social and political change.
"Art making is never repetitive for me, it is about rediscovery," says Brazilian artist Bel Bora. For DIÁRIO (através de um OLHO BAIANO), lasting for the duration of the festival, Bora creates pieces ranging in scale from small mosaic to large sculpture all over New York, using only recycled or found objects collected from public streets. DIÁRIO will culminate in a block-long site-specific installation in Times Square, allowing passersby to experience the artist at work. Burt Sun and André Costanti's documentary about Bora, Bel Bora Acqui, will preview at "Crossing the Line" before a run at Film Forum in October.
The lineup features progressive artists from musical, sculptural and performance backgrounds presenting dialogues, ongoing free installations, and ticketed performances to shows that explore hypnosis as an artistic medium like FIAF Artist in Residence, Joris Lacoste's 4 Prepared Dreams. Initiated and produced by the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) and presenting sponsor, Nespresso, catch part or all of "Crossing the Line's" evoking art feast.

The Indianapolis Public Library is rolling out a five year strategic plan and people are urged to attend local branch meetings before the plan is finalized.
The strategic plan will provide a detailed road map for updating and upgrading services through 2020. It was supposed to be presented Tuesday evening at a meeting that was canceled because of the bitter cold. Luckily, residents still have a chance to weigh in at a series of discussions planned through early March.
The plan was derived from a number of dynamic community conversations. Four goals are being laid out and include enriching learning, strengthening communities, being innovative and maximizing accessibility. The effort also includes a strategic plan.
Jon Barnes, communication specialist with the Indianapolis Public Library says the effort comes during a time when libraries are evolving.
"Information services are changing, we're using more Ereaders of course, ways to access information through web-based services is changing and the Library is changing with the times," explains Barnes.
The plan also considers the budget, which the Library hopes to expand through private funding and partnerships.
The first meeting is Thursday night at the Eagle Branch. Implementation of the plan will begin in 2015.

The Chinese accumulated investment in Nigeria is expected to exceed US$10 billion by the end of December 2012 just as the trade volume between the two countries is currently more than US$8 billion as at October 2012.
The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Amb. Deng Boqing, who disclosed this development in an interview with the Economic Confidential, said the economic intelligent magazine added that the two economies are highly complementary, and the cooperative relations have huge potential and broad prospect.
He further disclosed that "China's wide range investment covers sectors such as petroleum, free trade zone, iron and steel, agriculture, manufacturing, pharmacy and mining. The economic assistance to Nigeria provided by China played an important role in bilateral cooperation, and some projects in the areas of health, education, human resource training and infrastructural development."
Rather than crude oil as major exportable product from Nigeria to China, agricultural products are major earners in the Asian country. Amb. Boqing said: Nigeria is one of the top crude oil producers and exporters in the world. This also shapes Nigeria's export to China.
However, compared with Nigeria's other trading partners, the amount of crude exported to China is relatively lower, which only constitutes one to two percent of Nigeria's total crude export. "The two countries managed to diversify the trade relations. Last August, Nigeria farmers exported 1.1million metric ton of Cassava chips to China. We shall continue to encourage more import of non-oil items from Nigeria, especially agriculture products."
The Chinese Ambassador described the Nigeria's economy as promising while highlighting Nigeria's potentials for greatness as most populace country in Africa. He said: "Nigeria's economy has been performing well in the past 11 months. The GDP grows at a rate of over six percent; the crude production stays at around 2.4million barrel per day and your foreign reserve increased to $45 billion.
"All of these achievements impressed me a lot. These are more than figures. Nigeria is a leading nation in Africa and has been playing a significant role in resolving Mali and Guinea-Bissau crisis. Nigeria is a country with many natural endowments and abundant human resources, which give your economy the potential to thrive."
The Economic Confidential also learnt that Abuja rail project would soon be completed by Chinese companies handling it. The ambassador said: "Abuja light rail, funded with the concession loan of USD 500 million from China Exim Bank, is a major project which will bring convenience to dwellers in Abuja once completed. I am confident that, with the joint efforts of both sides, the project will be completed within the stipulated time period."
Besides infrastructure construction in Nigeria, the Chinese government emphasises more on the training of locals. As the Chinese proverb goes "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." That was why I personally attended the opening ceremony when recently CCECC established the Training Centre at Idu."

Playing a struggling team has its own issues, as the difference between teams in the NFL is never quite as large as fans often believe. Here are five keys to the Colts coming away with a win and improving to 3-1:In life, it's not nice to kick someone when they're down. In the NFL, the sooner you can jump on a struggling team, the better. If the Colts can generate strong offense early, putting 10-14 points on the board in the first quarter, it will free the defense to be even more aggressive and allow the power-running game to wear down the Jaguars. On defense, the Colts need to show the same type of blanket coverage the secondary showed against San Francisco.The Jaguars quarterback actually thrives under pressure. The less time he has to think, the more he can rely on his decent arm strength and delivery. So the Colts' defense needs to give him a few different looks. Indianapolis will be without injured defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois and safety LaRon Landry. But they'll still have Robert Mathis at rush linebacker, and he's been on top of his game so far. Gabbert returns after missing two games with a cut to his hand.Despite the emphasis on the run game, Colts quarterback Andrew Luck kept drives alive with key mid-range passes to Reggie Wayne and Darrius Heyward-Bey. The deep ball has largely been absent, but that might just be the new reality under offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's system. But the running game of Trent Richardson and (if healthy) Ahmad Bradshaw has the capability of forcing teams into honest run defense and opens up the field for Luck.Colts punter Pat McAfee was able to keep the 49ers on their heels when the Colts were forced to punt last week and that could be even more effective against the Jaguars. Jacksonville does not have an offense built for continual long drives. It would be good to see T.Y. Hilton set up some nice field position on punt returns, too, although Hilton was in a boot for practice on Friday. He is expected to play.No list of Colts keys can ever be without the mention of Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew, a thorn in Indianapolis' side since the team bypassed him in the draft in favor of Joseph Addai. Jones-Drew averages 106.8 yards per game in 13 games against the Colts. He has had 100 yards or more in five of the last six meetings. This is a different Colts defense, however, and it will take pride in showing Jones-Drew that things have changed. If they haven't changed, then a Jags upset isn't out of the question.
The pick: Colts 27, Jags 13

Riviera 47G2 Convertible — By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
— April 2006
Horizon Chaser
This 47-foot convertible from Australia makes you want to run with the sun.
The saloon is equally clean and appealing, taking full advantage of the boat's 16'1" beam and featuring grain-matched, satin-finish cherrywood (teak is an option) accented with high-gloss trim. The fully equipped galley-down, which also features enough stowage under the sole that I can fit my 5'7" frame in it comfortably, sports the same cherrywood and standard Corian countertops. It all complements the blue leather L-shape lounge and dinette seating; it's a truly nautical feel that's carried below to the three staterooms.
I experienced Twin Disc's QuickShift transmission during its debut in 2003, and was impressed with its safety-oriented features. A day on the Quickshift-equipped Riviera 47G2 reminded me of the coolness of this system. For example, you can reduce the rpm of the 47's twin 825-hp MTU diesel inboards down as far as 100 to help with close-quarter maneuvering. No more lurching in or out of a slip. QuickShift is a smart system in that the transmission determines the power requirements in real time and distributes torque through the vessel's driveline in the optimum manner. The same holds true when running at cruise or WOT. For example, if you're running at 30 mph, you can literally throw the controls in reverse and the boat will simply slow down safely and the shift into reverse and accelerate. I've seen it and I've done it. It works. And it's worth considering as an option on your 47G2.
SPOTLIGHT ON | The Mast
Jim Kaufman, the owner of our test boat, liked the idea of a mast. So he had the one you see here custom made for his Riviera 47G2. He said he likes how it works with the lines of his boat as well as how it's a place he can mount his boat's radar array, the satellite receiver, and GPS antennas, keeping his 47's hardtop neat and clutter-free.

text: Politics 16 February 2010 Former BBC global news chief joins PR firm Former BBC global news director Richard Sambrook is to join PR consultancy firm, Edelman. Sign up for our weekly email * Sambrook, who announced in November that he was ending his 30-year career at the BBC, has been appointed as Edelman's chief content officer and global vice chairman. In his new role, which he will take up in May, Sambrook will help clients produce written, video and audio content to tell their own story "in direct and engaging ways", a statement from Edelman said. Sambrook will report to David Brain, Edelman EMEA president and CEO, and will be based in London. He will also sit on the group's global executive committee, chaired by Richard Edelman. Sambrook yesterday expressed his delight to be joining Edelman in a newly created senior role. He said: "They are a company which I have long respected. Edelman's leadership with digital media and their work on trust and public engagement sets them apart and I'm greatly looking forward to helping to develop their content production and their approach to crisis and issues management." In addition to his new post, Sambrook will also assume responsibility for the firm's global crisis and issues practice towards the end of the year when the man currently tasked with that role, Mike Seymour, begins to stand down from his full time position. During his time at the BBC, Sambrook was responsible for leading the corporation's international news services across radio, television and new media. He then announced on his blog last year that he was leaving to become a visiting fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism before taking up a new job outside broadcasting. Sambrook took up his role as global news director in September 2004 after publication of the Hutton Report. Previously, he'd been director of BBC News. As director of news he had been a key figure in the BBC's row with Tony Blair's Labour government over the dossier that set out the reasons for going to war with Iraq. Fallout from the row led to the departures of BBC director general Greg Dyke and chairman Gavyn Davies. In a 30-year-career at the BBC he has been deputy director of the news division, director of sport, a producer and programme editor on national TV news programmes and news editor BBC newsgathering. His first job in the BBC was as a sub-editor in the radio newsroom. Before that he was a trainee journalist on the Celtic Press and South Wales Echo between 1977 and 1980. Sambrook has been succeeded by Peter Horrocks who is combining the directorship of global news with his current role as director of the BBC World Service. Taken from Press Gazette.

Reba McEntire Shows Plenty of Sass With 'Turn on the Radio' on 'CMA Music Festival' Special
Much like many of the female performers on Sunday night's 'CMA Music Festival' broadcast on ABC, Reba McEntire was looking good in all black as she sang her recent hit song, 'Turn on the Radio.' McEntire works the stage as well as women half her age, no doubt the reason she's been able to maintain a three-decade long career in country music.
The chart-topping song from McEntire's 'All the Woman I Am' album gave the red-headed singer a chance to introduce herself to young country music fans who were visiting Nashville for the first time during the CMA Music Festival. Few do television better than she does; those sharp blue eyes always seem to know where the camera is, and she locks in until her moment's over.
McEntire's newest song is called 'Somebody's Chelsea.' This fall, she's hitting the road with the Band Perry, Steel Magnolia and Edens Edge. Their first date together is October 6 in Moline, Ill.

Bountiful is a city in Davis County, Utah, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 42,552, a three percent increase over the 2000 figure of 41,301. The city grew rapidly during the suburb growth of the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s and is currently Utah's 15th largest city.
Although a part of the Ogden-Clearfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, it serves as a bedroom community to Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. However, due to the very narrow entrance into Salt Lake County, roads between the counties often reach near-gridlock traffic during rush hour. The FrontRunner commuter rail has been running since April 2008, and the Legacy Parkway was opened on September 13, 2008. These were built to help alleviate the traffic load on Interstate 15 through the Bountiful area.
Bountiful was settled on September 27, 1847, by Perrigrine Sessions and his family. It was Utah's second settlement after Salt Lake City. It was known as both Sessions Settlement and North Canyon Ward before being named Bountiful in 1855. This name is appropriate, both because of the city's reputation as a garden place and because "Bountiful" is the name of a city in the Book of Mormon (Alma 52:9). Most of the settlers, and also most of the present inhabitants, are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The Bountiful Utah Temple was dedicated in 1995 by the LDS Church. A tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is also located in Bountiful.
The city was incorporated in 1892 with Joseph L Holbrook as mayor.
In 1907 electric lights came to Bountiful through the efforts of its citizens.
Notorious serial killer Ted Bundy snatched victim Debra Kent from Viewmont High School in Bountiful on November 8, 1974.
The city maintains a charming Main Street, with several locally-owned shops, and is home to several big-box retailers.
The city celebrates its history at the annual Handcart Days celebration every July in conjunction with U.S. State of Utah's official holiday, Pioneer Day. Bountiful Handcart Days is a volunteer–driven event. People from three cities in the south of Davis County, Utah come together to commemorate the first group of Mormon Pioneers' entry into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. The festivities include a parade, fireworks, games, entertainment, an art exhibit, and food.

According to a previously released official synopsis for J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek Into Darkness", Benedict Cumberbatch is playing a "one man weapon of mass destruction". And from the looks of this first poster for the upcoming sci-fi sequel, ol Cumby has definitely created quite the mass destruction.
And yes, the whole "The Dark Knight Rises" shtick is obvious with the poster design, but then again, you probably read that at a thousand other sites already. It's a no-brainer, no? I guess you could say this "Star Trek Into Darkness" poster is "boldly going where 'The Dark Knight Rises' has already gone". Get it? Ahem.
When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Alice Eve, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Peter Weller, Bruce Greenwood, Benedict Cumberbatch, and blasts back into theaters May 17, 2013.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Will Middlebrooks needed to alter his offseason workout regimen to account for the massive chip on his shoulder.
While Middlebrooks obviously enjoyed the Boston Red Sox's World Series triumph in 2013, the third baseman struggled from an individual standpoint, leaving a lot to be desired as he prepares to enter his third major league campaign.
"I've said it a million times, last year sucked for me," Middlebrooks said Monday at JetBlue Park. "It's not fun and I don't want to do it again.
"Looking at the team, of course, we won the World Series. That's as good as it gets," Middlebrooks added. "But individually, I felt like I could have contributed more, and that's my goal this year."
Middlebrooks hit just .227 and struck out 98 times in 94 regular-season games last season. The 25-year-old was demoted to Triple-A Pawtucket in June, and although he returned to enjoy a solid August, the former fifth-round draft pick was supplanted by Xander Bogaerts as the Red Sox's starting third baseman in the playoffs.
Middlebrooks, clearly motivated by last season's struggles, worked with well-known strength and conditioning coach Mike Boyle over the offseason. Middlebrooks implemented a new workout regimen that included more heavy lifting in the hopes of eliminating nagging injuries and staying fresh for the duration of a 162-game grind.
"If you don't feel well or you're playing at 75 percent every day, you're not going to help your team out," Middlebrooks told NESN.com last week. "You can try to be a tough guy and grind out everything, but at a certain point you have to realize it's not going to help your team out as much as you're trying to."
Middlebrooks also recruited the help of former Red Sox infielder/current Los Angeles Angels infielder John McDonald, a native of New London, Conn. Middlebrooks said the pair worked on infield drills geared toward barehanded plays and improving the third baseman's footwork.
The Red Sox have high hopes for Middlebrooks, who burst onto the scene in 2012 by hitting .288 with 15 home runs and 54 RBIs in 75 games before going down with a season-ending wrist injury. Middlebrooks is eager to prove that level of production was just the tip of the iceberg rather than an aberration.
"When you're new in the league, there's a lot of guys you face on a daily basis you haven't really seen before," Middlebrooks said. "It's just getting to know those guys' arms, getting to know their stuff, getting to know catchers, how they like to call games, and then kind of just fine-tuning my approach."
Middlebrooks' approach, preparation and overall game still are evolving. The results could evolve, too.

Change comes. Change is good!
The word from you was clear… Stay true to our roots but move forward too, and that's exactly what we've done with the brand NEW Bear's Paw Bar and Grill. An investment of close to $200,000 has transformed the Bear's Paw in to the premier place to meet in the Columbia Valley – from floor to ceiling everything is new and spectacular! The patio is now even better too – mechanical awnings mean that diners and drinkers are sheltered from all but the most crazy summer storms. Sincere thanks go to Brian, Bryan and the team who turned "brass in to class".

Lawmakers hold bill to end pensions for killers
Lawmakers have held for further study a bill that would end pensions for municipal workers spending life in prison.
The Providence Journal reported that the House Judiciary Committee heard testimony Wednesday from several people, including Providence Mayor Angel Taveras who asked that the bill be introduced.
He said he was frustrated that a convicted murderer, Nicholas Gianquitti, is collecting a city disability pension.
Gianquitti was briefly a police officer before he was injured and left his job. He later shot a neighbor to death.
Gianquitti continues to collect a pension of around $50,000 per year.
Representatives of police and public employee unions raised questions about the bill, including asking what happens if the worker is exonerated, and expressing concern it would hurt workers' family members.

[ Image by b.a.d photography for Alt Summit 2012 ]
I want to start by saying that the coordination of the event was great, very detail oriented (LOVE!) and well designed (duh =] ). I had very high expectations and I was super excited to get to see/hear some of the Alt speakers I really admire.
I did my homework and researched all of the sessions and classes I wanted to take, so I had my schedule and was able to read about the people speaking in each one of them, that way I had an idea of what to expect, content wise, and let me tell you it did not disappoint, not one little bit. I walked across the street to our Hotel every day with my head spinning with ideas on how to improve this little place and my business. I have a super long to-do list (Yes! I love to-do lists!!) and I have to say that I am still a little overwhelmed by all of the big dreams in my head =]

Lupe Fiasco - Life, Death And Love From San Fransisco Lyrics
Lupe Fiasco – Life, Death And Love From San Fransisco Lyrics
She said love is a hard thing
Somewhere between golfing and gardening
Or parole board pardoning
But she was still down for a hard swing
Flowers she would pick like guitar strings
For a real good whiff
Of how life behind par seems
Until then she a bar-teend
And poor hot lead shots out of carbines
If an inmate ever even think about departing
Before it's time for the theft of a hard thing
Wanna see why a bum had hard dreams
Before he get gunned down, cause some sharp scene
Saw it all on the way to the art scene
Around the time they kicked us out, they had a park cleaned
She ain't living in a car she just RV-ing
Life on ice like the San Jose Shark team
Hard times, tryna duck em like Darkwing
Known for burning clothes and petty car-keying
And other less harmful skylarking
Bought a bag out of American Rag
A small Chinese-made American flag
Took a dollar bill then split it in half
The picture that she bought wouldn't fit in the cab
On a train trying her best not to live in the past
A bum probably asked could he spit in her ass
And that was it, fits, tantrums random
Helter-Skelter, a world gone Manson
And I'll spare you the details
Dinner is ceviche out of seashells
Annoyed cause her date really can't speak well
But she forced to press on like Lee nails
Next table was abhored by the weed smell
She was done at the moment that the tea fell
A thick wool jacket on a cool night
Unimpressed by poems or the moonlight
Doesn't satisfy like a game of pool might
Thinking "what if Fantasia had a broom strike?"
Tune right out of that school life
Soon as reality became a camera crew and a boom mic
So what do you do like?
She said "absurd last words from a dude off a Zoosk site"
And then left him
Like the Roots left Geffen
And the state Howlin' Wolf left Chess in
Stop to watch flows have an unpaid session on the steps of a Westin
She really need to check in
And to apologize to her best friend
New bras to put her chest in
Love life or deathin…

Jin Zhu, Director, Beijing Planetarium
Beijing, China
Online evaluation
[Original announcement. . .]Dear Fellow Planetarians:
Beijing Planetarium is honored to invite all members of the International Planetarium Society (IPS) to participate in the 22nd IPS Conference, to be held from Monday to Friday, June 23-27, 2014 in Beijing, China. We would like to give you an update and convince you that this will be the event you and all your colleagues should not miss. All the preparations are well underway to welcome you in Beijing.
Beijing, capital of the People's Republic of China, is the nation's political, economic, cultural, educational, international trade, and communication center. Located in northern China, the city also serves as the country's most important transportation hub and port of entry.
Both a tribute to China's proud history and a gateway to China's future, it is an international metropolis, home to more than 20 million people from all walks of life. Having succeeded in hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing is ready and looks forward to welcoming and impressing you in the months ahead.
The IPS 2014 Conference, under the theme of "Educating for the Future," will focus on the significant role of planetariums in future astronomy education. It will showcase the latest advancements in astronomy, planetarium theater management, and technology, while providing an ideal forum for the exchange of ideas on astronomy education and visitor experience.
Hundreds of planetarium professionals around the world will be brought together to exchange ideas on best practices and present new technology. Chinese educational officials and professionals will also be invited to this fantastic gathering devoted to planetarium development and astronomy education.
Located in the northwest of Beijing, Beijing Planetarium is the first large-scale planetarium in China. It will be the main venue for all keynote, poster and parallel sessions, as well as exhibitions and vendor demonstrations.
There will be two areas for exhibitions, both equipped with a high-speed fiber optic network. Area I (1200 square meters by 7 meters in height) is now under construction and will be suitable for various types of exhibits. Area II (400 square meters by 4 meters high), in Building A of Beijing Planetarium, will be available with 3-m by 3-m booths. A team of professional technicians will be ready to render any service that may be needed to facilitate setting-up and dismantling.
Beijing Planetarium includes two dome theaters, a 4D theater, and three classrooms. The ultimate dome theater, Cosmos theater, with 400 seats, can comfortably admit all members for keynote speeches. The 4D theater, the Digital Space dome theater and the three classrooms will be used for poster and parallel sessions.
To satisfy vital needs, the two dome theaters, installed with advanced projection system, and the 4D theater will be ready for presentations by planetarians and vendors. We will take full advantage of the planetarium to hold vendor presentations and some of the parallel sessions. Plenty of planetarium time will be the highlight of this conference.
As the secondary venue, Hotel Nikko New Century Beijing, a 5-minute walk away from Beijing Planetarium, will provide an excellent environment for the opening ceremony and business meetings.
A wide variety of hotel options are available for delegates at IPS 2014. The official conference hotel, Hotel Nikko New Century Beijing, and Xiyuan Hotel, both within a 5-minute walk of all conference venues, offer up to 1,000 rooms of different sizes at different prices. Both are fitted with modern amenities one would expect from a convention hotel.
Hotel Nikko New Century Beijing has four kinds of rooms with prices ranging from CNY560 to CNY1,000. Xiyuan Hotel has four kinds of rooms with prices ranging from CNY580 to CNY850. (As of November 1, 2013, 1 CNY= 0.164 USD and 0.12 EURO.)
Apart from the above two hotels, there are other options, including both economic and luxury hotels.
Beijing Planetarium and the two hotels are located on North & West 2nd Ring Road, only 27 km from Beijing Capital Airport. You can easily reach there either by taxi or subway. Thanks to the well-developed underground transport network in Beijing, it is convenient to go anywhere in downtown from the Beijing Zoo station of Line 4, where Beijing Planetarium and the two hotels are close to.
IPS2014 will be held in June, when the weather in Beijing is the best of the year with moderate temperature (25-32 degrees C), and moderate rainfall creating the best air quality.
All the food and beverages will be provided by five-star hotels with consideration of the different cultural background and food habits of attendees, so as to create a healthy and green IPS 2014.
The conference registration fee is US $450, which includes the welcome reception, opening ceremony, keynote speech, vendor demonstrations, exhibit hall access, all sessions, mid-conference tour, a conference satchel and materials, and all breaks and lunches.
You will be served with buffet lunches on June 23-26. On June 27, the last day of the conference, we will host you in the banquet hall of Hotel Nikko New Century Beijing for a luncheon featuring traditional Chinese round tables.
The gala dinner will be held in the evening of June 27, when the century-old Beijing Quanjude Roast Duck will surprise your taste buds and traditional performances will amaze you with their authentic Chinese characteristics. Anyone who would like to attend the dinner needs to pay US $90 which covers the dinner, performances and transportation.
In the afternoon of June 25, IPS 2014 is offering a mid-conference tour. The tour will cover the fee of transportation from Beijing Planetarium and the entry ticket to the scenic spot.
Route 1 is a tour to the Temple of Heaven and Ancient Observatory. During this tour, you will visit the Temple of Heaven, an imperial construction reflecting ancient Chinese astronomical thoughts, and see the oldest astronomical equipment in Ming and Qing Dynasty of China at the Ancient Observatory.
The other routes are the Palace Museum and Beijing Aerospace Town. The Palace Museum is the Chinese imperial palace and one of the greatest palaces in the world, showcasing the luxury of ancient royal life, historical antiques and treasures, while Beijing Aerospace Town is the nerve center of Chinese space flight technology. (This route is subject to change.)
You may choose among the three pre-conference or post-conference tours below, which we believe will make your stay in China even better.
Among all the ancient imperial capitals in China, Xi'an is the one that had been capital for the longest time, hosted the most dynasties, and exerted the greatest influence in Chinese history. It is one of the four great ancient capitals in the world, the birthplace of Chinese civilization, the cradle of Chinese nationality, a prominent representative of Chinese culture, and the starting point of the Silk Road.
Along with attractions such as the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and Xi'an Ancient City Wall, the Xi'an tour will take you to museums where you will experience the Yangshao culture, which existed 5,000 years ago, see the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses, visit the Yang Mausoleum of the Han Dynasty, and learn about the history of Shaanxi. You will be accommodated in a five-star luxury hotel. The tour will take four days and cost about CNY4,500 per person.
Chengde and Xinglong Station
A visit will be paid to Xinglong Station, one of the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Affiliated to the open optics lab of the National Astronomical Observatories, Xinglong Station is an optical astronomy observatory, where fixed stars and galaxies are observed and researched. The station is equipped with such important astronomical instruments as LAMOST and the 2.16-m optical telescope.
In this tour, you will also stand on the best place for astronomical observation—the picturesque Wuling Mountain—and get a personal experience of the largest existing imperial land and imperial temples in China.
Chengde, with its famous Imperial Summer Resort, will give you the royal treatment during your summer stay. The tour will take two days and cost about CNY1,500 per person.
Great Wall
As a Chinese proverb goes, he who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. Apart from a trip to the Great Wall and the ancient royal mausoleum, this route also includes a tour around the whole city of Beijing and a trip to Bird's Nest, Water Cube and Wangfujing Snack Street.
You may also go to Hong Kong and Macau for a short stay before the conference. We have contacted the Hong Kong Space Museum and the Macau Science Center and they will provide you with assistance during your trip there. More detailed information will be released soon.
(Attention: a visa would be needed if you enter mainland China from Hong Kong or Macau.)
If you want to extend your stay to the Asian-Pacific region beyond these days, please consider visiting also our friends in Japan. The IPS suggests an optional post-conference tour to Tokyo. Details will be sent out by the IPS as soon as they are available.
We encourage you to begin planning for the conference and consider presenting and actively participating in the sessions. This biennial conference is the highlight of our profession and literally depends upon your participation to make it successful.
It is an opportunity for attendees to exchange ideas, make professional progress, listen to guests' speeches, meet new colleagues, reconnect with acquaintances, and more importantly, to learn and experience what is going on in the planetariums field throughout the world.
As documents required for visa application are different according to countries and regions, please contact your local Chinese embassies and consulates for information. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need an invitation letter or other official documents to apply for a visa and we will provide it as soon as possible. You can also visit the website of IPS2014 for more information.
There will also be media friends and Chinese educational officials attending the conference. We hope the conference will be a worthy stimulus on astronomy education.
You can make registration for IPS2014 either online or on-site. It is expected that online registration will open in November 2013. Discounts are available for online registration.
We look forward to your presence at IPS 2014 and hope to present a forward-looking conference where we will envision the future of planetariums together.

Lincoln, NE- Icy conditions and fog in eastern Nebraska made the roads more dangerous for motorists and contributed to a number of fatal traffic accidents.
Five fatal accidents involving two-vehicle crashes occurred both on Friday and Thursday, according to Omaha World Herald.
On Friday, an eastbound traveling Honda civic carrying four passengers crossed the center line of U.S. Highway 275 near the Waterloo viaduct and crashed into a Ford pickup truck with one passenger, the Herald Reported.
The four people in the Honda Civic were killed upon impact, but their identities have not been releases. The driver of the truck, the Herald said, was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in fair condition. Marty Bilek of the Douglas County Sheriff's Department said icy roads were a factor in the crash.
Just after 7:00 a.m. Thursday in Valley, local resident Tammy Harris was traveling eastbound on Ida Street when she lost control and veered into the oncoming lane and struck the vandriven by Noah Brase. Even though Harris was wearing her seat belt she was killed on impact. Brase suffered minor injuries and was treated at a local hospital.
Bilek told the Herald that icy roads and fog contributed to this accident.
Several more accidents occurred in Eastern Nebraska even though road crews were sent out to with salt trucks to improve road conditions.
These tragic accidents emphasize the dangers of driving on icy roads and demonstrate the need for motorists to take extra precautions.
According to Icy Roads.com, the majority of fatalities that can be attributed to icy roads occur in rural areas. The Midwest including Nebraska despite a lower population density tends to have the highest rate of icy road fatalities. In the winter season for 2009 and 2010, 23 Nebraska traffic fatalities were caused by frozen road conditions, according to data from Icy Roads. Only one other state, Pennsylvania, had a higher fatality rate or 26.
And it may not be surprising to learn that speed played the largest role in these fatalities. The drivers in the majority of fatal accidents were traveling between 45 and 55 miles per hour. Fatalities on frozen roads where motorists are driving at slower speeds are extremely rare.
Freezing rain is the most dangerous type of winter precipitation because of its visibility, how many times have you been warned to be cautious of black ice in the winter? Ice is very hard to see on roads since it blends in with the asphalt. Snow is easy to see to drivers have the tendency to be more cautious and drive more slowly.
You can reduce the chances of being involved in an injurious collision by slowing down and wearing you safety belt. Be aware of your surroundings and keep a good distance in between yourself and other vehicles are also a good way to avoid an accident.
You must remember that even the roads are icy or visibility is low you are still responsible for the damages caused by a traffic collision. If someone is hurt you may not be charged with a traffic violation, but the accident victims of families of the deceased can pursue a settlement for their personal injuries.
When you have been hurt by a negligent motorist, a Lincoln, Nebraska accident attorney can help recover the accident-related costs you incur.

AMD's Radeon HD 6450: UVD3 Meets The HTPCby Ryan Smith on April 7, 2011 12:01 AM EST
AMD's Northern Islands family is composed of four GPUs, roughly divided into two categories. At the top is the 6900 series powered by Cayman, AMD's first VLIW4 GPU. Below Cayman are three more GPUs, all derived from the VLIW5 Evergreen generation(5000 series). The first of these GPUs was Barts, which is the basis of the 6800 series that launched back in October of 2010. However up until now we haven't seen the other two mystery GPUs in the retail market. Today that starts to change.
The final two Northern Island GPUs are Caicos and Turks. They have been available in the OEM market for both desktop and mobile products since the beginning of the year, but as is often common with low-end/high-volume GPUs, a retail presence comes last instead of first. AMD is finally giving Caicos its first retail presence today; it will be powering the new Radeon HD 6450. Packing all the upgrades we saw with Barts last year, it will effectively be replacing the Radeon HD 5450. But how well does AMD's latest stand up in the crowded low-end market? Let's find out.

Although it's likely redundant to say that the GPU market is on a constant forward march in performance, it's a very prudent analogy when discussing the Radeon HD 6450. With the launch of a new generation of integrated GPUs from both Intel and AMD in the last few months, the tail-end of the line took a big step forward and now everything else must move forward to keep pace. AMD's previous low-end product, the 80SP Radeon HD 5450, is effectively matched by Intel's HD 3000; meanwhile you can get as many SPs in an AMD Zacate APU, although performance isn't quite enough to catch the 5450. Regardless, when iGPUs can deliver the performance of the lowest-end dGPU, a new low-end dGPU is required. This is Caicos.
At the lower end of the GPU market we're accustomed to seeing a very large gap between the lowest GPU and the next model higher; with the 5000 series it was the difference between the 80SP Cedar and the 400SP Redwood GPUs. The performance drop-off is quite severe, but it's what's necessary to make a GPU small enough and cheap enough to meet the needs of the extreme budget segment of the market. Thus while the latest generation of iGPUs requires AMD to produce a faster low-end GPU, they still need to keep it cheap enough for the market, and as such there won't be a radical overhaul.
At the end of the day Caicos and the Radeon HD 6450 it's based on are a larger version of the 5450 with Barts' technology improvements. Coming from the 5450 AMD has doubled the SIMD count from one SIMD to two, doubling the number of SPs from 80 to 160. Meanwhile the number of texture units per SIMD has decreased from eight per SIMD to four per SIMD, resulting in the same eight texture units, but now split between the two SIMDs. This is now consistent with the rest of AMD's lineup, as Cedar/5450 had twice as many texture units in its 1 SIMD as other 5000/6000 parts normally have per SIMD.
The ROP side of the equation has not been changed however, pairing the 160SP compute core with the same set of four ROPs we saw on the 5450. What has changed on the ROP/memory side is support for GDDR5; while we will see DDR3 6450 cards too, AMD is more or less using GDDR5 from top to bottom now. For the GDDR5 6450 the core clock is 750MHz and the memory clock is 900MHz (3.6GHz data rate), so not only does the 6450 have more SIMDs than the 5450, but it's clocked faster by 100MHz and has over twice the memory bandwidth too.
These changes give it a major leg-up on the 5450 while still keeping the GPU size manageable. The transistor count and die size has gone up as one would expect; the 5450 was 292M transistors for a die size of 59mm2, while the 6450 is 370M transistors at 67mm2. So the 6450 will likely cost more for AMD to produce, but only marginally so. TDP has also gone up from 6.4W at idle and 19W at load to 9W at idle and 27W at load, mostly due to the higher power consumption of GDDR5. 27W is still easily handled by passive coolers, and we should see a number of both actively and passively cooled cards.
AMD has put the MSRP of the 6450 at $55. This will cover both the 512MB GDDR5 and 1GB DDR3 varieties. Pricing of low-end cards rarely toes the line, so expect prices to be all over the place. At $55 the market is quite packed, so AMD's competition is going to include the 5450, the 5550/5570, the GT 220, and even a few budget-priced GT 430 cards. A few of these cards are going to be quite a bit faster than the 6450—ultimately the economic advantage of a small GPU is more present in high-volume OEM sales than it is in retail sales.
In any case, the one thorn in the side of the 6450 is that it's a soft launch. While all of our data is applicable to the existing similar OEM cards, retail cards won't be showing up until the 19th. Honestly we're a bit confused as to why AMD is soft launching the 6450 given that it doesn't have any immediate competition—the more insidious reasons usually attached to a soft launch are that it's to keep potential customers from buying a competitor's product, but it's not as if NVIDIA has recently launched a similar product. Anyhow, your guess is as good as ours, but it's unfortunate to see AMD doing a soft launch after doing so well in the mid-range and high-end markets this year.

ET - Thursday, April 07, 2011 - linkIf you're worried about crossing the 25W line you can always slightly underclock it. That said, unless you intend to use it for gaming, folding or another such heavy task, it shouldn't come close to 25W, and from your description above it sounds like you're not planning such things. Reply
DjPete2008 - Friday, April 08, 2011 - linkAccording to this - http://www.rage3d.com/reviews/video/amd_hd6450_lau... - the idle power draw is actually less than the 5450.
So it would probably be compatible with my system, and as ET said, I could also underclock it. Now to wait and see what retail products get released. Reply
Wave_Fusion - Thursday, April 07, 2011 - linkSince the Turks architecture is what my 6770M is based on, I'm looking forward to see how the desktop versions do. It might not be as impressive in the desktop world, but as mobility cards go its not far from the top. Reply
evolucion8 - Thursday, April 07, 2011 - linkIt is a good review, but I think that it might be more productive doing video quality analysis instead of gaming performance as no one will buy such low end card for gaming anyways. Or at least two or three gaming performance charts and the rest with video quality and performance analysis, good product overall, but in terms of gaming performance, I think that the GT 430 is a better option. Reply
Mishera - Friday, April 08, 2011 - linkI second that.
I've been thinking about building a htpc using Amd's e-350, and was wondering if something like this would be useful from a feature/video quality perspective, or if the apu would be adequate on it's own. Reply
ET - Friday, April 08, 2011 - linkI always find gaming potential interesting, but I think that 1680x1050 maximum quality with 4x AA isn't. I don't really need putting this in the perspective of all the other cards just to show it's not good for that. I want to know what it does work for. 720p would be a good testing point for an HTPC. 1280x1024 and 1024x768 aren't really in use these days.
It might be a good idea for Anandtech to develop a low end gaming benchmark, with game and setting selections which are more useful to indicate the suitability of such low end hardware for some gaming. I know Jarred is working on a low end gaming article, but I'd love this to be put into standard reviews of such hardware. Reply
7Enigma - Friday, April 08, 2011 - linkThe majority of non-gamers (those that would probably buy this card not for HTPC), are on 17-19" monitors (ie those that come with the Dell/HP) computer and so I would argue that the 1280X1024 is likely the MOST important resolution to test.
Still I agree with the above poster that the game tests are more of a formality and the focus should be on the video quality and performance analysis (specifically power draw doing common HTPC tasks not a load benchmark with crysis). Reply
strikeback03 - Friday, April 08, 2011 - linkUnless that Dell/HP is pre-2005, it is probably not not 1280x1024. The various widescreen resolutions with between 768 and 900 pixels of vertical resolution have been more common for quite a while at those screen sizes. Reply
ET - Thursday, April 07, 2011 - linkLow end Llano chips will have 160 cores, but slower and with slower memory. That'd put it around HD 3000 or even under (and sometimes higher), but still over HD 2000. Reply
silverblue - Friday, April 08, 2011 - linkTough call. Llano will have access to a dual channel memory bus of up to DDR3-1866 which theoretically should provide more bandwidth than the 6450, although it will have to share this with the rest of the system. Even so, this should still be plenty enough to beat HD 3000 regardless of what Llano model is in use, assuming the fastest memory is used.
I believe Llano's true strength will be 720p with AA; even with 400 shader cores it's not going to be a monster and certainly won't be suited for 1080 gaming. Hell, I wouldn't even put my 4830 through that. One thing we really don't know right now is how many texture units and ROPs Llano actually possesses. Reply

I didn't like it because I have been fighting throughout my now long life to be allowed just to be a person. What on earth has gender got to do with it?? Why does the fact that females are female need commenting on? We are PEOPLE for goodness sake. Lisi
