IF THE Regents exam that all Georgia college students must take was itself tested on its relevance, it would flunk.
That's the current consensus among some members of the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents. And if that's the case, then let's end it, not mend it.
The test for all rising juniors, which is required for graduation, was developed 35 years ago to assure employers and state lawmakers that college graduates had sufficient reading and writing skills.
Quality may have been a problem at some colleges three decades ago. But today, when admission to many of the state's universities is competitive and many students qualify for the HOPE scholarship, these tests are a waste of time and resources.
About 85 percent of the students pass the exam on the first try, so it's not particularly tough. True, this means 15 percent don't pass. But this failure rate suggests a need for a test to identify weak students who are admitted, not a cookie-cutter test of those who've been enrolled for two years.
This isn't your father's university system.
A broad, one-size-fits-all exam doesn't meet today's needs on campus. The public's limited dollars can be spent more productively elsewhere.

Elizabeth Hurley flaunts her ample bust as she sizzles in skimpy red bikini
ELIZABETH HURLEY delighted her 398,000 Instagram followers when she shared a sexy bikini snap earlier today.
Elizabeth Hurley sizzles in her latest Instagram snap
The 51-year-old actress sizzled in a vibrant red bikini that flaunted her toned body to perfection.
The skimpy design was perfect for showcasing The Royals star's ample assets as she posed playfully with her arm in the air and her toned torso directed toward the camera.
The brunette beauty proved she is her own best model as she rocked one of her own design's from the Elizabeth Hurley Beach range.
Liz sizzled in a skimpy red bikini
"Bikini time," she captioned the flirty snap, which quickly garnered some flattering responses - as well as 8.840 likes.
"Wow..you looked amazing," enthused one impressed user, while another chimed: "I'm guessing that's now and not a #tb. wow! Ms Hurley you on fire."
"Raise your hand if you don't age," praised another, before a further fan gushed: "You just keep getting more and more beautiful each year. You're honestly more beautiful now than way back in the days of your modelling career. I keep searching for some sign of plastic surgery and there is ZERO. It's all natural! Love it!"
Despite her good genetics, Liz recently claimed that she works hard to keep in shape, despite finding exercise "loathsome".
The actress is no stranger to posting racy snaps on the social networking site
The 51-year-old is currently enjoying a sun-soaked getaway
Speaking to Emirates Women, the mother-of-one credited her enviable physique to brisk half hour walks every day, as well as Pilates and yoga classes.
Liz has also banned bread, cheese, pasta and crisps from her diet and insists on drinking of plenty of water to shun cravings.
The sultry snap comes shortly after Liz shared an image of a similarly racy nature on the social networking site ahead of a night on the town.
Posing in a seriously plunging black dress, Hugh Grant's former flame wrote: "LBD time".

The gods have gifted us with the first official look at Game of Thrones Season 7, and as usual, these images are frustratingly cryptic. But that won't stop us from speculating, of course.
On Sunday night, HBO aired a "Coming in 2017" preview before the penultimate episode of Westworld, and the promo featured three blink-and-you'll-miss-them shots of the Starks in action in the anticipated seventh season of the fantasy epic. (The video isn't online yet, but Watchers on the Wall managed to screenshot the images.) We see Sansa — and Sophie Turner's new Catelyn Stark–inspired wig — standing in the godswoods, gazing into the camera; Arya is seen on horseback in the North, mercifully freed from Braavos and staring off into the distance; and finally, there's Jon Snow, looking every bit as broody as we remember him, in conversation with what looks to be a redhead (probably Sansa) at Winterfell.
While we'll most likely have to wait until the summer to find out what — or who — Sansa is staring at, we have a few early suggestions. Could this be the Stark Sister reunion we've been waiting for? We know Arya is on her way to Winterfell, and it would be fitting that the first person she encounters is Sansa in the godswoods. Of course, there's also the possibility that Sansa is gazing at Ramsay Bolton's severed head on a pike, but it's rather unlikely that the hounds had any leftovers
Seeing Arya Stark of Winterfell in the North (or what looks like the North), donning her finest winter furs, is perhaps the most exciting Season 7 development. For many seasons, we watched the young wolf trapped in a boring Braavos storyline that did nothing but go in circles.
And then there's Good Ol' Reliable Jon Snow, who looks as burdened as ever in the forthcoming season. Now that Jon and Sansa have reclaimed the North — and Jon's inherited the title of King in the North — what's the next step in their plan for total domination? Regardless of what happens in Season 7, these images have us officially on edge!!!

The Birth of Tragedy : Out of the Spirit of Music Paperback
by Friedrich Nietzsche
Edited by Michael Tanner
A compelling argument for the necessity for art in life, Nietzsche's first book is fuelled by his enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, for the philosophy of Schopenhauer and for the music of Wagner, to whom this work was dedicated.
Nietzsche outlined a distinction between its two central forces: the Apolline, representing beauty and order, and the Dionysiac, a primal or ecstatic reaction to the sublime.
He believed the combination of these states produced the highest forms of music and tragic drama, which not only reveal the truth about suffering in life, but also provide a consolation for it.
Impassioned and exhilarating in its conviction, The Birth of Tragedy has become a key text in European culture and in literary criticism.

Review by pulpexploder
I haven't read much yet, but it seems to be more about Nietzsche having a man-crush on Wagner than about music.
Review by Pandaros
This the book which ruined Nietzsche's career as a classical philologist. He had been appointed to the Chair of Greek at Basle University aged just 24 (the youngest ever Professor in Classics) and was full of all the impetuousness that youth provides. This book is a product of it, and in reading it one can see all the brash claims that brought Willamowitz, through jealousy, to ruin Nietzsche.Certainly the history behind the book improves it. And even Nietzsche had to admit that he disagreed with much of the work, hence the much later preface he wrote which is present in the Penguin edition. If it wasn't for this book, however, and his subsequent ousting from Basle, Nietzsche may not have become the great philosopher he is - which is the grounding Willamowitz gave in his autobiography to justify his incredibly harsh and insulting rebuttal of the book.Modern scholarship has now looked with a much more credible eye over this book. Many scholars, viz. Stephen Halliwell, the late W.B. Stanford, Malcolm Heath; are now calling this book misinterpreted and maligned. Indeed the main aim of Nietzsche's book was not to say that the Greek view of life was pessimistic or to explain the origins of Greek tragedy, but to attack the scientific methodology of philology. Yes, his book does support those claims and over one hundred years later people are willing to listen to what he has to say, but philology was Nietzsche's main victim of this book.I have given it three stars. I agree with his view of philology, but his conclusions are rashly drawn and I don't entirely agree with what he says about the Dionysian-Apolline division in tragedy.

The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL)
The International Criminal
Police Organization
Countries involved
As of today, there are 190 countries around the world that are involved in this organization.
The offical creation of INTERPOL's headquarters were established in Vienna, Austria.
The head of the Vienna police, Johann Schober, became the organization's first president.
Reason why the organization was created
By: Alivia Lynch, Alexia Mckindsey, Bianca Pace and Sarah Periera
September 7, 1923
703 (2012)
Annual budget:
70 million
How is Interpol viewed?
Main focus
Each country has their own bureau, a National Central Bureau (NCB), which allows each country to be connected in order to work together.
The Headquarters is located in Lyon, France.
Most prominent countries
The United States
INTERPOL also allows the states to go beyond national borders, by supporting other INTERPOL member countries who seek assistance in criminal investigations.
In 2009, Obama passed a law that gives INTERPOL the same privileges and immunity as other international organizations operating within the States have.
This gives INTERPOL more power within the USA, because there are less restrictions limiting them from law enforcement.
Although Interpol is known for being a fairly neutral organization, it has been involved in some controversies. Some have criticized the agency for its role in arrests that critics contend were politically motivated.
In 2013, Interpol was criticized over some of its multi-million dollar deals such as with FIFA, Philip Morris, and the pharmaceutical industry. The criticism was mainly about the lack of transparency and potential conflicts of interest.
The idea of Interpol was born in 1914 at the International Criminal Police Congress in Monaco
The meeting brought police officers and judicial representatives from 24 countries around the world, to find ways to flight and solve crime.
INTERPOL flourished until 1938, when Nazi Germany annexed Austria; it's records were subsequently relocated to Berlin. The outbreak of World War II ended INTERPOL's
After the war INTERPOL accepted an offer from the French government of a headquarters in Paris together with a staff for the General Secretariat consisting of French police officials. INTERPOL was revived, though the loss or destruction of all its prewar records required that it be completely reorganized.
Johann Schober
Interpol is the common name for the organization.
It is the world's largest police organization with 190 member countries.
Its primary role is to assist law enforcement agencies around the world in combating all forms of transnational crime and terrorism.
The idea of Interpol was created in 1914 at the first International Criminal Police Congress, held in Monaco.
This meeting brought together police officers and judici representatives from 24 countries cooperating together in order to find ways to solve crimes, specifically arrest and extradition procedures, identification techniques and the idea of centralized criminal records.
Power of State
An international criminal "Wanted list" is created with the help of each member country.
The list requests international attention
Interpol helps to restrict and limit international crime world wide, in fact in 2001 1 400 "red notice" criminals were arrested by Interpol.

There are more important discussions to be had than about whether or not Yoga is demonic. But apparently, folks got a rise out of my post last week entitled, "Is Yoga Demonic?"
Is it or is it not?
Well, you're asking the wrong question but…
[As I shared before…] The problem is that we're trying to exegete complex aspects of culture with very simplistic and black/white paradigms. To try to imply that there's such a thing called a "pure" practice of Christianity is well…incorrect. The Gospel enters into a context and culture and will inevitably take various forms, nuances, and changes – particularly, over generations and generations. In one sense, I could make a case that we're all syncretists in some way.
I'd like to think that God is a little bigger than our simplistic views. But I'm thinking of taking back my gracious interpretation of Yoga after seeing this video.
Have you heard of or seen this video below called Christoga?
Seriously, this looks scary and demonic especially the voices and the poofy jacket collar. 😉
And just in case you're wondering, that is indeed Janine Turner from Northern Exposure.

Nice brewpub, where you can drink their beer, or you can take beer with you. i didn't eat there, but menu is interesting. staff was nice , quick and friendly.
Ungstrup (368) Citizen of the universe, Denmark | July 1, 2009
A modern brewpub with the brewery close to the bar. Stone floor, chalked walls and a wooden cealing - with a cozy small yard outside. The food was OK with out being fantastic. 5 of their own beer on draft.
Quack-Duck (206) Down South, Germany | November 1, 2008
After my first visit on opening day one year ago, this place has definitely improved a lot. Very nice ambience with nice autumn decoration. Very clean and new very friendly service and a really good and interesting menu. Try the pork or chicken covered in malt and fired, this was really good. Veprova kapsa s klobasou a horcici (pork filled with sausage and mustard) was aslo nice, as well as their goulash. 5 beers on tap when I visited, all of them delicious and, as is the food, of very high quality. A place I will definitely return to during my nest visit of the Czech Republic.
pivnizub (572) Bochum, Por�ř�, Germany | September 5, 2008
Recently opened semi-modern brewpub in the old miner's town of Mies (Střibro), around 30 kilometers west of Plzeň. The five beers on draught are of moderate quality and could make You forget the quite monotonous, faceless ambiance and the depressing czech food. Cave! The even take money for the coasters........

After a recent rally in Ohio, Bernie Sanders and his wife, Jane, personally thanked a supporter for being a great mom by attending to her child during the campaign.
It?s no secret that the female body is objectified more in the United States than in other countries. In Europe, for example, it?s perfectly normal to venture to a nude beach and lie out in the sun with your ta-tas exposed. In America, you?d be placed under arrest and fined.
Because people in the U.S. are conditioned to view the human body as a sexual object, even breastfeeding is seen to be a shameful – albeit controversial – act. Though women aren?t flagrantly exposing themselves to attract members of the opposite sex, they?re made to feel embarrassed about freeing their nipple(s) so they might nourish a child they gave birth to.
In recent years, a number of activist groups, such as Free The Nipple, have drawn attention to the sexist double standard. It?s perfectly okay for men to display their nipples – or worse, for beheadings to be shown on television and social media, but it?s considered indecent for a woman to be bare-chested. It?s about equality.?
Someone who knows much about the plight for equal rights is Bernie Sanders, and he definitely doesn?t oppose breastfeeding in public.
During a recent rally in Ohio, Elle Bradford was captured on camera nursing her 6-month-old daughter, Harper. Reportedly, her daughter was hungry, so she breastfed her in her seat.
She told WEWS-TV:
?There is no, ?I?m feeding you in 10 minutes.? It?s ?I?m feeding you right here, right now, or you?re screaming.?
Shortly after the campaign, the photo of Bradford and Harper started circulating on social media. Bernie Sanders and his wife, Jane, also thanked Elle and her daughter personally.
Bradford wrote on Facebook:
?After the rally, Bernie and Jane O?Meara Sanders both thanked me for doing what mothers do and taking care of my daughter when she needed her mom, even if that meant nursing in public!??
It goes without saying that Donald Trump – who has shown the world his sexist tendencies on numerous occasions – would not have been in support of Elle nursing her child in public. The Republican presidential contender is so brash when it comes to respecting women, he once shamed Hillary Clinton for using the bathroom.

"Great book in the series!"
Sweet, funny and touching!
I liked when Brooke was strong willed, stood up for herself and what she wanted.
"Too chic lite for me"
First 2 books were great. I knew 3rd was chic lite and bought anyway. I was hoping this one would have some suspense but sadly no. It was too chic lite for me. I think my Julie James days are done.
Karen is a good narrator that has grown on me. She has a good range and you can tell characters apart.
This one is perfect if you like an easy happy endings with no thrills.
"Can't get enough of this series!"
Fun, witty characters who draw you into their lives and steal your heart . A well flowing story with a narrator who performs each character exquisitely and keeps your attention throughout the story. Two workaholics with issues to resolve and important choices to make to decide what happens next in their life. I'm so looking forward to listening to the next book in this incredible series!
"Good romance"
I enjoy Karen White's narration. The banter between characters is well written.
The scene on the plane when Brooke was on her way to Charlotte was funny and significant to the plot.
Ford, her " best friend with a penis" and his two buddies really added to the story.
I enjoyed it.
I liked the story and the characters. It is one I recommend, but I have to say her first book in the series is so far the best.
"Okay, but not as good as other Julie James books"
Maybe I got spoiled reading Julie James' other books, but this one was just not as good as her previous books. The characters were very likable, but very predictable. The younger half brother wasn't in my opinion a believable or realistic character. Overall this is a pleasant read, but her prior books are a much better bet.
"Such a charming story!"
Julie James' fourth installment in the FBI-US Attorney Series does not fail. I absolutely LOVED this book. It's full of witty one-liners, and funny conversations. Like the previous three books, the storyline not only builds on what's going on in the characters life then, but also on their memories of important, life-changing events of the past. Unlike books 1 & 2, there is no crazy scenario where any of the characters are in immediate danger. Instead, the suspense relies mostly on what's going on Cade and Brooke's personal lives. As usual, both the male and female protagonists are intelligent and successful. Brooke is striving for balance in her personal life while Cade is essentially trying to find balance in his personal life.
Note: Although this is a series, it doesn't really build on the previous installments. Previous characters only make cameo appearances & their stories are barely a part of this one. Still, if you enjoy this book I highly recommend going back and buying the previous books. You won't be disappointed.
First, I liked the first 3 books in this series but there has been so much time between them and book 4 I forgot so many of the characters from the past.
Second, I think this lacked ALOT of the depth the previous stories had.
Third, I had been a fan of Karen White but her male character sounded too much like a relative of Thurston Howl III from Giligans Island which tended to detract from the romance of it all.
That being said, it's an ok listen if you re so inclined. I might have liked it more if the male character's voice was a little better. Sorry....
"Good book...narration not so much"
I know I'm an outlier in my dislike of Karen White's narration but you have to give me credit for trying..giving her many, many tries. Let me explain. In this series, every single hero sounds exactly like every other hero (and his buddies, colleagues, and bartenders). Acceptable, but certainly a far less skilled performance than I'd expect from a voice artist of Ms White's experience and repertoire.
A lot of (not so famous) female narrators do men's voices badly so that's somewhat forgivable. But it's the sound of her women that makes me grind my teeth into tiny nubs. It's bad enough that all women in Karen White World sound just alike, but do they really have to sound so uninspired, so sing-song-y bloody awful? At best bored and annoyed, at worst snobby and elitist. And the martyrlike sighs. Oh please..the deep, soulful sighs.
I've enjoyed reading this series, but no more listening. No matter how tempting the whispersync deal.
"Such a great series!"
Although this one didn't have as much action from bad guys as the others-it was by no means a downer in the series! Great chapter for a character that was possibly frowned upon in the last book - a simply must to continue!
"Great Series"
This book ranks up at the top of the audiobooks that I have listened to. This particular book in this series ranks the highest in my opinion. The story just grips you. I have listened to this audiobook several times and it still gets me. This book is very well written. I love how this story covers deep emotions ranging from life long friendships that were forged from childhood to overcoming hardships and discovering happiness in life.
This book is so well written it will make you laugh and cry.

UPDATE: Topeka Capital Markets Initiates W.R. Grace & Co. with Hold on Fair Valuation
In a report published Friday, Topeka Capital Markets analyst Chris Kapsch initiated coverage on W.R. Grace & Co. (NYSE: GRA) with a Hold rating and $74.00 price target.
In the report, Kapsch noted, "W.R. Grace & Co. is a premier global specialty chemicals company, with leading franchises in Catalysts, Silica Gels, Packaging Sealants and Construction Chemicals. Operating under bankruptcy protection for over 12 years, GRA now appears finally set to emerge late in 2013 or early 2014. Emergence will be a major positive step for the Company, and potentially the stock. But while the uniqueness of such a special situation may normally create idiosyncratic views/information, GRA is hardly obscure or undiscovered. To the contrary, we believe the stock is currently fairly if not fully valued, on estimates that may prove too optimistic. We do believe the impending emergence is a fait accompli, with minimal risks associated with that process. But we also believe there is earnings expectation risk, which may be currently overlooked by investors."
W.R. Grace & Co. closed on Thursday at $78.86.

Snapper Rock Bikini and Rashguard Set - Girls is rated out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by texasbullhorns from LOVE THE HORSE BIKINI SET i don't know what anyone could ever say about this set that isn't "100% AMAZING" - it is simply the most gorgeous bikini set and the colors are stunning! We are from Texas and we are horse people so of course we had to get the horse set for my little girl and then her best friend wanted one as well. It is the cutest bathing suit set I have ever seen. Thank goodness for a horse bikini - we LOVE it. This suit fits perfectly and the girls have been wearing their suits every day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PalmBeachMom from LOVE THIS BIKINI SET Snapper Rock has done it again - i love this set. This new bikini is absolutely divine! They added tassles to the bottoms with little beads and they have a great new neck strap that is super easy - you just slip over your head and - no problems with ties and re-tying - the straps are soft and easy. Thank you Snapper Rock for making such gorgeous Suits. I am buying these for all my girls and my friends are as well

Rated 4 out of 5 by JESQ from Darling This is a beautifully made swimsuit - great quality material and bright colors. My daughter is a large, athletic almost 7 year old and the rash guard top and bikini bottom (size 12) are just darling on her. I agree with the comments that the bikini top is oddly shaped and hard to fit, but we go without it and do not miss it at all. I plan on buying a couple more in different designs for the summer. So happy with this!

Rated 3 out of 5 by MeginNY from Pretty Bikini, a little too high cut for a child I have a tall, thin 10 year old girl, approx 64lbs. We tried the 10 which is her normal size but it was too snug and too skimpy. The 12 was too large and felt too high cut to her. The quality was very nice but I think there needs to be more coverage for younger girls. We both loved the blue horse pattern and the rash guard, just wish the fit and coverage were a little better.
Date published: 2017-02-24
Rated 2 out of 5 by GrandmamaO1 from Not a good fit overall. The design is great for girls that love horses. The top is a bit to big, while the bottoms are tight. An odd fit. I am glad it was on sale or I would have returned it.
Date published: 2017-03-06
Rated 2 out of 5 by ShoppingFor2girls from Cute but the top is huge I bought two different patterns and two different sizes for my soon to be 10 year old daughter. The size10 t-shirt and bottoms fit well but the bikini top is huge. The part around the rib cage is ok but it is way too loose around the neck (even on the tightest setting). And the size 8 which is too snug overall Is still huge in the bust. It's too bad because the patterns are very cute. I will probably keep them and have them altered but would not purchase again.

What Our Customers Say
Very bright headlamp!!
I purchased the Xtreme Bright Safety Headlamp. We are a family that participates in many outdoor activities and a headlamp is very useful at night to stay hands free. The headlamp is heavier than other we have but also feels more durable if dropped or stepped on. It also can be converted to a flashlight which is a bonus for us. This headlamp needs a lithium battery, so we are hoping it lasts much longer than our others that take AA. My husband used the headlamp while helping remove a tree after a storm and being able to angle the light while wearing it was very helpful. This headlamp and its flashlight handle are a must in our emergency kit.

2 hiking essentials in one awesome product!!
LOVE this lamp!! Lightweight, easy to wear! The light can be used as a headlamp OR a flashlight and both are super bright! The rear tail light is an added bonus, also lightweight and easy to operate. Each feature has its own easy to find button. Does require speciality batteries but they hold more power and are rechargeable so totally worth it! The battery case and charger are NOT included, those I ordered separately. This is going to make night hiking SO much easier, hands free will be life changing!! The head straps are soft and super adjustable, fits great to my favorite hat! Very happy with my purchase!

Tea House and Vegetarian Restaurant
Restaurant, Coffee/Tea/Juice
The teahouse serves over 100 pure leaf teas as well as a variety of vegetarian organic appetizers, entrees and desserts from India and other parts of the world, including some vegan ones. Tao of Tea has a very creative interior design; it was built using reclaimed wood and bamboo materials. Similar to creating art work, the teahouse was built without any architectural drawings or illustrations. The resulting design has attracted lots of praise as well being chosen the 2000 Zagat Survey winner of the best interior amongst 600 restaurants in the Pacific Northwest.
Next door, they have a tea store that sells a huge selection of teas.
If you're undecided about where to eat, this is a good neighborhood to visit. Tao of Tea is right across from Paradox Cafe and next door to Kinta Restaurant (it's also fairly close to other restaurants in the Hawthorne area).

Most Recent Reviews
This is a very beautiful restaurant! The benches are fantastic; they are made out of stone, but are also very comfortable. The tables in the center are made out of tea crates. Awesome interior design!
The menu does not say which items are vegan which is one of my small complaints about this place. My second complaint is that the menu is rather small and focused on Indian food. But dishes I had were good. The dessert was fantastic!! It was sticky rice (very sticky) with banana, wrapped and cooked in banana leaves and accompanied by cranberries, mango sauce, and toasted coconut. Very very yummy and very filling!! Highly recommended.
This is a very peaceful place to go to if you want to relax, have a bit of food (the portions are small and they don't have a huge selection) and drink some yummy tea. I wouldn't go there with a large group, or if you're in the mood to be loud and/or obnoxious, or if you are very hungry.
Great place to come and talk with friends. Huge selection of tea. They also have non-tea beverages and a food menu with snacks, sides, entrees, and deserts. Unfortunately most of the food is not vegan. All but one of the desserts had honey. The tea we had was very good, as was the hummus and pita and banana dessert.

The Magic Flute Trailer (1978)
01 January 1978 54 mins
Emanuele Luzzati was a talented artist, director and animator. One of his best known short films was 1978's The Magic Flute set to the music from Mozart's two-act opera. As a stage director, Luzzati had mounted a lavish 1963 full-scale production of the opera and fell in love with the music and the story. His animated The Magic Flute, made fifteen years later, was met with glowing reviews and multiple awards. He followed the completion of the film with a children's picture book that succinctly retells the story. (by Joseph Crisalli)

Finicum's Family Remembers Him As A Man Driven By Family And Faith
1 comment:
There are Memorials taking place across the west for LaVoy Finicum. I attended one today with about 90 plus people there. He was a American Patriot, pure Constitutionalist, and a brave man. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and it was written for the people by the people. There is no room for the shooters to brag about their deed, they are the traitors.

- Courtesy Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main
- Franz von Stuck's Pieta, 1891, is on loan from the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main.
In the artist Franz von Stuck (1863-1928), Jo-Anne Birnie Danzker sees the holy quartet of the 19th century: Darwin, Freud, Nietzsche, and Wagner. After being something of a doubter, Birnie Danzker has become one of his greatest supporters, and through her eyes at the Franz von Stuck show at the Frye, you're invited to consider his works as if they were marinated in the ideas of those men. For better and worse, 19th-century Germany itself is on display. But a few of the paintings are so strangely alluring as to be hauntingly powerful even if you never considered any context at all.

- Hall lights are on, doors ajar, and neon signs are flashing out the windows at the far end.
- This is a TEEENY crutch glimpsed in the crack under a TINY door in one of Rick Araluce's hyperreal/surreal/neonoir miniature stage set sculptures. What happened in there?
Be sure when you visit Rick Araluce's sculptures at Bellevue Arts Museum that you look for all the tiny peepholes, or ask the gallery guards. There are so many places to stick your eyeballs. If that sounds all naughty-like, it's because that's how it feels.

The Los Angeles City Council approved a $50,000 reward Wednesday for information leading to the arrest of whoever is responsible for killing a 40-year-old man in South Los Angeles.
On the night of Oct. 11, 2012, Paul T. James was walking down the 9600 block of South Hoover Street when he was approached by a person wearing a hooded sweat shirt, according to the City Council motion that asks for the reward.
The suspect then fired multiple rounds at James, who later was pronounced dead at a hospital, according to the Times' Homicide Report.
HOMICIDE REPORT: A story for every victim
The Vermont Vista neighborhood where the killing occurred has become deadlier since 2012, according to a Times analysis of homicide data. In 2012, it was the 18th most deadly neighborhood out of L.A. County's 270 neighborhoods, with five homicides. In 2013, it became the deadliest, with 13 homicides.
Anyone with information about James' killing was urged to contact LAPD's anonymous tipster hotline, Crime Stoppers, at (800) 222-8477, or the Criminal Gang Homicide Division at (213) 485-4341.

NY Rangers Marriage Proposal
February 8, 2012 by staff
NY Rangers Marriage Proposal, Showing that the Rangers' wit is about as razor-sharp as their 10th-place hockey team, that fan marriage proposal gone horribly wrong on Sunday at the Garden turned out Monday to be a wisecrack gone dismally right.
When a woman sitting at the Seventh Ave. end during Sunday's Rangers-Lightning walked out of the arena on a man who ostensibly had asked her to marry him on the Gardenvision screen, it looked like a brutal turn in a relationship played out in agonizing public view.
In fact, a source said Monday, it was an inside joke cooked up by game-presentation staff and carried out by paid actors who are, in real life, engaged.
The 18,198 in the Garden and at least one newspaper beat writer? Those were the patsies.
The Valentine's Day hoax went off during the second period of the Rangers' 5-2 win over Tampa Bay, when the scoreboard showed the jersey-wearing actors beside a graphic saying that "Nick" was asking "Melissa" to be his "Blueshirt Bride" – after which a stunned-looking "Melissa" shook her head and left while an even more stunned buzz swept through the Garden crowd.
"I didn't know if it was staged or not," said center Erik Christensen, who scored twice in quick succession with the crowd still stirring over the rejection.

It was more than just ice cream with all the toppings.
Schools are closed Tuesday, Nov. 7 for Election Day and Superintendent's Conference Day.
A potential strike of First Mile Square bus drivers on Monday has been averted. This afternoon, the company notified the school district that an agreement has been reached in their collective bargaining talks. First Mile Square, a private student transportation company, provides transportation services for a number of school districts in Westchester County, including the City School District of New Rochelle. The buses will now operate Monday on a regular schedule.
Columbus Elementary School ESL teacher Mark Hegenauer has been teaching his students chess for 20 years. His ability to help children grow cognitively and emotionally through play was recognized by the National Scholastic Chess Foundation Monday at its Chess in the Park event inside the New Rochelle Public Library.
Hegenauer has seen students of every ability level benefit from learning this game of strategic thinking and problem solving. And he sees the social aspects of the game as just as beneficial for his students who are learning to be better communicators.
"I know it's just a board game, but the kids are socializing and interacting with one another, and that is so needed today," said Hegenauer. "Many of these children who don't do well in other subjects can perform on the chess board. It really helps with self-esteem and with self-control."
In 2001, Columbus students began competing on the national stage. The team has been to SuperNationals 16 times and has almost always placed among the top 20 teams. Twice, Columbus had two teams place among the top ten in the nation. And one year, it had two teams place in the top five. Most impressively, Hegenauer led one of his teams to win the New York State Championship.
"The awards are great," said Hegenauer. "But the program is really about how chess helps students make better decisions as well as build confidence and relationships across grade levels."
More than 50 educators new to the New Rochelle schools gathered for orientation in their new district on Thursday, as Superintendent Dr. Brian Osborne congratulated them for making it through an interview process that was "both competitive and rigorous."
"It is that way because we want to give the children of New Rochelle the best. And that's what we believe we have before us here today," Dr. Osborne told them in the Linda E. Kelly Theater at New Rochelle High School.
The superintendent welcomed them to a district that treasures its diversity, which, he said, means more than merely accepting others.
"Embracing our rich diversity is of a deeper quality than that," Dr. Osborne told them. "It means that we actively welcome, celebrate, support and serve all of our students and our families and that the differences among us add value for all of us."
The newcomers were treated to coffee and bagels in the morning, followed by talks from school district leaders. New Rochelle Board of Education Vice President Maddali Atallah told them of the key role that teachers play in offering a great education.
"We believe that the job is done in the classroom, with the children, and you are the most important element in that," she said.
The day's events introduced them to much more than the school district of 11,000 students. City historian Barbara Davis told them of more than 300 years of New Rochelle history, beginning with the Siwanoy Indians who lived in the area before European settlers arrived. They also took a bus tour of the city's schools, residences and points of interest.
The newly hired educators were eager to begin teaching in schools across the district.
"I'm looking forward to inspiring the students to learn another language, because that's the future," said Majid Benefar, a new French teacher at New Rochelle High School. "There are a lot of challenges ahead, but there will be a lot of great rewards in working through them."
Art teacher Daniela Marini's classes will be at the William B. Ward Elementary School.
"I'm so excited to be part of the team at Ward," said Marini. "The administration is very strong, and I feel very supported by it."
Alex Urso, a new special education teacher at Jefferson Elementary School, said the orientation helped him ease into his new challenge.
"I'm feeling confident and starting to get a little more comfortable with all the procedures," he said. "I've heard all great things about the community and the schools. It is a fantastic opportunity."
As they got ready to begin their first classes in New Rochelle, Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Joseph Williams told them that they had come to a great district in which to thrive professionally.
"I am quite sure you are all going to have a productive and fulfilling career here in New Rochelle," he said.

Meadowbrook Parkway exits and entrances to and from Charles Lindbergh Boulevard (Nassau Coliseum, Nassau Community College) and Eisenhower Park exits will be closed from 5 a.m. until 10 a.m.
Eisenhower Park's Park Boulevard will not allow through traffic between 7:15 and 10 a.m. The Hempstead Turnpike entrance to the park will be open throughout the day for golf and The Carltun guests, with a turnaround at the golf course until 10 a.m.

- Sunday: N22 and N24, 7 to 11:30 a.m., will not be making stops between Roosevelt Field and Hicksville, both eastbound and westbound. Buses will run express along Newbridge Road and Hempstead Turnpike instead.
- Sunday: N35, 7 to 11:30 a.m. will not be traveling between Westbury and the Mall. All trips will begin and end at Roosevelt Field.

Beside the seaside
"All aboard!" Once again, it was the annual day out for the Pedants Association, or, more properly, the Pedants' Association, and we were being ushered into our bus, or coach.
"All aboard!" repeated the courier, Mr Thomson ("That's Thomson without a p," he reminded us).
"But we are most emphatically not all aboard," said my companion, Mr Little, as we joined the queue. "At a rough approximation, only a third of our party, or group, are, or is, aboard. The remaining two-thirds, ourselves included, are forming an orderly queue."
"Excuse me, Mr Little." It was Ms Everett, the secretary of the association, "I couldn't help but overhear you employ the phrase 'at a rough approximation'. May I be so bold as to suggest that this is a tautology: by its very nature, any approximation is bound to be rough, for if it were not rough, then it would not be an approximation."
"Very true, Ms Everett," said Mr Little.
"Statements are either true or untrue," chipped in Mr Frank. "In my book, there is no such thing as very true."
"And what book is that, may one ask?" inquired Mr Little.
Within three minutes 35 seconds, the Pedants had boarded the coach.
"Take your seats," said the driver.
"Where do we take them?" asked Mr Little, as the coach sallied forth, causing him to stumble.
We Pedants enjoy a bit of a sing-song on our annual day out, so when Mr Thomson without a p announced that we would be going to the coast, someone suggested we sing a song appropriate to its seaside location.
"What about I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside?" chipped in Mr Little, a suggestion that was greeted with, or by, a ripple of approval.
"Before we commence singing, might I suggest an alteration?" asked Ms Everett. "As a point of information, it strikes me that the word 'do' is superfluous. One either likes being beside the seaside or one doesn't. To say - and I quote - "I do like to be beside the, etcetera, etcetera" is quite unnecessary."
A show of hands upheld Ms Everett's point of information (though some preferred to see it as a point of order) and we all launched into a jaunty rendition of "I Like To Be Beside the Seaside". But halfway through the first verse, Mr and Mrs Hamilton, usually such a quiet couple, rose to their feet and called a halt to proceedings.
"I'm very sorry," said Mrs Hamilton. "But if one employs the word 'seaside', surely that automatically suggests that one is 'beside it'."
"Here here!" said Mr Hamilton, approvingly.
"Excuse me, Mr Hamilton," said Ms Everett, "but how were you spelling those two words? From the tone of your voice, I sense you are spelling them H-E-R-E, and, again, H-E-R-E. But if you are employing them as an exclamation of approval for the preceeding comment or opinion, then they should be spelt, respectively, H-E-A-R and H-E-A-R."
"Hear! Hear!" said Mr Little.
"Can I apologise to the Association via the courier?" said Mr Hamilton.
"You may," replied Mr Thomson without a P, and we all resumed singing, "I Like to Be At The Seaside".
We were about to reach the first chorus when Mrs Smythe raised her hand to table a motion. "If one likes the seaside, as the song infers - " she began.
"Implies," said Mrs Hamilton.
"I stand corrected," said Mrs Smythe.
"But you are sitting," said Mr Hamilton.
"If one likes the seaside, as the song implies," resumed Mrs Smythe, "then surely it goes without saying that one likes 'to be at' the seaside, so the phrase is surplus to requirements."
There was a murmur of agreement, and, after a discussion on the correct system of voting - proportional representation won the day - Mrs Smythe's motion was carried. I am glad to report that there was only one further interruption, when Mr Little argued forcefully that the seaside, the sea and sea, were, in this context, interchangeable. So within 47 minutes we were all joining in 'I Like Sea' with one voice (or, to be more accurate, with several voices).
The Pedants' Association, or those members of the aforesaid association who were present, arrived at Brighton at 11.47 hrs Greenwich Mean Time ("That's mean in the sense of average," confirmed Mr Hamilton), give or take the odd second. Our arrival proved a welcome opportunity for a roll-call.
Each of us travels with his or her own clipboard, and as no one was prepared to forfeit his or her right to conduct the roll-call ("But it's the main reason I joined!" argued Mr Little), we agreed to have 26 separate roll-calls, one led by each member present, followed by a double-check, for safety's sake, bringing the final number to 52.
At 13.36 hrs Greenwich Mean Time, we began to disembark. "Ah!" said Ms Everett, pointing at a large expanse of salt water, "That must be the sea."

Need to modify chmod & mv to make use of a time-based access control policy
Greetings all,
A former student in my class designed a kernel module for time-based access control. Now my class has to go through the original Linux (FC4 or 5) binaries and modify them to make use of the changes. I have been assigned chmod and mv.
I am comfortable using Linux and the basics, but have never tried to modify the source. Where do I find the source for the distro, and once I have that, is there an easy way to find all the lines that pertain to my binaries? It may be apparent once I open up the source, but as I said I've never done that.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Wow...that's pretty intense.
Well, if you already have the kernel sources, they will be located in /usr/src/linux. Keep in mind, the kernel isn't written in just C and/or C++, there's a bit of assembly in there, too.
If I understand well, you won't have to touch anything in the kernel. Just download the source rpm for mv and chmod; the binary is: rpm -qf $(which mv) $(which chmod)
Good luck. That's not an easy work.
A former student in my class designed a kernel module for time-based access control.
Apologies for the OT post, but would it be possible to share any details about this?

Right from the start, we knew Microsoft TechEd 2013 (September 3-6) was going to be huge. At 9:30pm the first day, the expo floor was still full of IT professionals from all over Australia and New Zealand, at which point security were asking people to leave.
The Nimble Storage stand was in the middle of "Storage Avenue" which was great fun for 3000 delegates to see the old and the new storage architectures. The level of interest throughout the four days was amazing. Even with six people on the Nimble Storage stand, we had delegates joining in on conversations, so they could learn more. With my CS210 array on the stand punching out 16,000 random 4K IOPS, many were impressed and curious how Nimble Storage could deliver this performance.
John Whyte delivered great demos each day, which always drew a crowd. The realisation of how CPU performance advancements compare with mechanical hard disk performance advancements was causing penny's to drop. It's something most IT professionals know about, but don't realise until it's visually compared. It's a challenge that Nimble Storage has met, built a storage architecture from the ground up and solved.
What projects were most people talking about? VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure). Over and over this is what people would be enquiring about, and Nimble Storage fits this solution like a glove. It was great to be able to talk about the challenges some organisations are facing with their VDI infrastructure, like boot storms and AV scanning, and show how with Nimble Storage these concerns are history.
Lots of really cool technologies were on show, including 3D printing systems. To see someone scanned by a XBOX 360 Connect controller, a 3D model of their head and shoulders created and bust of them printed out of plastic, was amazing.
Microsoft organised this fantastic event, which all delegates agreed was delivering the right mix of information, entertainment and education. Thanks go to Microsoft for this great event and I look forward to attending next year.
By the way, Australia's Gold Coast is always spectacular in September.

The JAG and Biglaw tracks also seem extremely separate. JAGs, at least after their initial 4 year stint, are generalists. Biglaw lawyers are specialists at the vast majority of levels. There also isn't exactly a ton of transactional work, mergers, or litigation outside of criminal litigation in the first few years of a JAGs career.
While a long term specialization might be possible, I bet you'd be looking at an extended stint in the military before you're sufficiently specialized

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It comes from when the family lived in a clearing surrounded by oak trees. This Yorkshire surname is derived from the Old English words ac, which means oak, and rod, which means clearing.
Eskridge Early Origins
Yorkshire in the north of England. The Eskrigge and Eskridge variants were found in the parish of Eskrigg in Lancaster.
Eskridge Spelling Variations
Eskridge Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Eskridge have been found, including Ackroyd, Akroyd, Ackeroyd, Achroyd, Aykroyd, Akrood, Eckroyd, Ecroyd, Akrode, Eckridge and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Eskridge, or a variant listed above:

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: In veritate victoria
Motto Translation: Victory in Truth.

Battle brewing on defense chief
Presidents who back away from Senate confirmation fights unwittingly undermine their own authority.
Two weeks ago, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, withdrew her name from consideration as the successor to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
It was, in one sense, a curious move by Rice because she withdrew from consideration before her name was submitted to the U.S. Senate for confirmation. But by acting as she did, Rice was simply opting out of a confirmation fight that was guaranteed following the controversy over her actions in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the United States diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, where four Americans died.
Now another confirmation fight is brewing, with more potential embarrassment for President Barack Obama. Having lost a fight before it even started on Rice, Obama's reputed top choice for secretary of defense, former Nebraska U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel, has come under attack — from Republicans but, more dangerously, from Democrats.
Hagel is receiving criticism primarily for his past criticism of Israel and his support for cuts in the defense budget.
As a general rule, all presidents ought to be allowed to pick the members of their administrative team. If Obama wants Hagel in the Defense Department, he ought to be allowed to have him — absent a disqualifying reason.
Obama said on Sunday there is no reason for Hagel not to serve as defense secretary, heaping praise on him as "someone who has done extraordinary work both in the U.S. Senate and somebody who's served this country with valor in Vietnam."
More important than that, however, is that Hagel's policy views are in step with Obama's.
The president has made no secret of his desire to cut the Defense Department down to size, and he's gone out of his way to make it clear that he doesn't mind parting ways with Israel on issues relating to gaining a peace agreement in the Middle East.
Some people may not agree with those positions. But when voters re-elected Obama to a second term, they were ratifying his approach both in policy and personnel.
Hagel comes under the category of personnel. He's the man who appears to be Obama's No. 1 choice to lead the Defense Department. To criticize Hagel for holding views that reflect the positions of the recently re-elected commander-in-chief seems inconsistent.
It's unclear just how this political drama will play out. If enough pressure is brought to bear, Hagel may cave just as Rice did. That would deny Obama his first choice for another important Cabinet post while diminishing his reputation as a leader who gets his way.
Of course, it's not the Republican opposition to Hagel that's the problem. If anything is clear, President Obama relishes confronting congressional Republicans. Obama's problem is potential opposition from Senate Democrats.
Democrats control the Senate, and they can muscle Hagel through the confirmation process if Obama demands their obeisance on this important issue.

About One 20 A Modern Bistro
Not all 13-year-olds have the foresight to realize their life's calling, or the world would be full of unemployed professional puppy holders. Luckily for the foodies of Pensacola, Dan Pettis had a knack for his more practical dream. He started experimenting in the kitchen just before he entered high school, starting as dish washer and working his way up through the cut-throat world of the restaurant industry. At the top of the food chain, he is now both chef and owner at One 20 A Modern Bistro.
Here, he crafts a menu of innovative, fusion bistro cuisine, drawing inspiration from his southern roots and journeys to Southeast Asia and Japan. The artfully plated dishes take on southern accents with dishes such as blackened garlic sautéed shrimp accompanied by creamy cheese grits and mustard-rubbed pork chops with a side of braised collard greens. Whereas, international influences take the form of range-glazed tuna steak and stir-fried edamame.

From the press release:
Katal Landing Pad Coming to Mammoth Mountain
Mammoth Mountain, CA – Mammoth Mountain and Katal Innovations have teamed up to bring a Katal Landing Pad to Mammoth from May 22-31, 2010. The Katal Landing Pad will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily and will cost $40 per day for unlimited use.
Measuring at 50 feet wide by 90 feet long and 5 feet thick, the Katal Landing Pad covers the entire surface area of a jump after the takeoff allowing users to attempt new tricks without the consequences of crashing on an icy landing. Unlike traditional foam pits used for jumping, the Katal Landing Pad allows users to "ride-out" their landings to more closely simulate an actual jump landing.
The Katal Landing Pad will be installed on a custom jump featuring three takeoffs ranging from 10-60 feet. The setup will be accessible from Face Lift Express. Passes for use of the Katal Landing Pad are available at Main Lodge Ticket Windows.
Mammoth's Snowboard and Freeride Ski Teams will be offering training camps that are open to the public. Enrollment includes individualized instruction, daily video review and unlimited use of the Katal Landing Pad.
Training Camp Dates:
May 22-23, 2010 – Weekend Session - $250
May 24-28, 2010 – Weekday Session - $625
May 29-31, 2010 – Holiday Weekend Session - $375
Daily Camp Schedule:
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. air bag session
2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on snow training
3 p.m. to 4 p.m. video review session
For more information or to enroll in one of the training camp sessions, please contact Ben Wisner at email@example.com or 760.934.2571 extension 3144.
Mammoth will be unveiling a new Spring Terrain Park in Saddle Bowl on May 22, 2010 to coincide with the opening of the Katal Landing Pad. In addition to the Katal Landing Pad jump, the Spring Park will include a 22-foot Super Duper Pipe, two jumps and six jibs. All features will be groomed and cut nightly and the park will remain open until the end of winter operations.
With over 45 feet of total snowfall during the 2009/10 winter season, Mammoth is scheduled to remain open for skiing and boarding through July 4, 2010. Horizon Air is offering year-round daily flight service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) starting at only $49 each way. Springfest lift and lodging packages are available for as low as $99* per person per night! For more information on flights or lodging, please call 800.MAMMOTH or visit www.MammothMountain.com.
