Tried other tourist-clogged Rome neighborhoods? Ready for something a bit different? Testaccio is a Rome Neighborhod anchored by the old stockyards and a hill made of Roman amphora fragments discarded from ships on the nearby Tiber.
Foodies like Testaccio because of the traditions surrounding the Roman cuisine of the stockyard workers. This means offal will be served in local restaurants, as workers were given these pieces at the end of the day--and they (or most likely their wives and mothers) learned to cook them into tasty meals.
But it's not all innards in Testaccio. The foodie shrine called Gastronomia Volpetti is here, and the covered market is as lively as it can get, even without the throngs of tourists that flock to better-known markets in Rome. La Città dell'Altra Economia will educate you in fair trade practices and ply you with international organic food at the same time.
When I first came upon Monte Testaccio, Testaccio's potsherd hill, Rome's car repairmen had dug out caves in the hill for their repair shops. Today those caves have been transformed into sometimes lavish night clubs and wine bars. It's where Rome's beautiful people go to exercise their dolce vita.
Getting to Testaccio
Testaccio is located south of the Aventine Hill right along the Tiber. It makes a beautiful walk from Trestevere or the Campo dei Fiori on a sunny day, as you can see from the picture, taken in December.
Bus number 170 takes you from Rome's main train station Termini to the Piazza Santa Maria Liberatrice in Testaccio. The nearest metro stop on the Metro B line is Pyramide
Join us for a tour of Testaccio, including tips on what to see, where to have coffee and a pastry, where to eat and where to have a night out in this up and coming working class neighborhood.


text: Two years passed before I ever raced. I still have the AMA slip showing the date as September 24, 1978 (and the entry fee as $7!). The Long Island Sports Committee put on an annual race at Long Beach-picture a sandy supercross track, though not as jumpy-and you didn't have to be a member. I signed up and was issued #Z-the last letter of the alphabet and roughly indicative of where I finished. I'd never ridden on beach sand and didn't know to lower the tire pressures. I recall winding the poor little engine out in each gear, shooting a roostertail with my overinflated rear knobby and bogging the engine each time I tried to upshift. I fell a few times, and called it quits in both motos when the leaders came around to lap me. Fast forward three decades and I'm looking at Greg Bastek's Elsinore in the Broome-Tioga pits and wondering how I ever fit on one. My original idea for this story was to ride my first bike where I first rode it, but the Commack sand pits are a movie theater now, Bridgehampton Raceway is a golf course and the Long Beach city fathers would no doubt frown on me terrorizing beach-goers. Turns out there aren't any motocross tracks on Long Island anymore, so I was going to have to ride elsewhere. When I mentioned my dilemma to Metro Racing proprietor Don Miller, he suggested I enter the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) National at Broome-Tioga, and even knew where I could borrow a bike. Thing is, AHRMA vintage rules state that bikes must have no more than 4 inches of rear wheel travel. And it didn't occur to me until I sat on Greg's bike that I'd never actually ridden an Elsinore with stock rear travel. Fortunately, we wouldn't be racing on the jump-infested national motocross track, but on an old-school grass track adjacent to it. September '78 and mom snapped this photo of me astride my Elsinore, still sporting the #Z I was given at my first race. Yes, that's an AMA shirt I'm wearing. September '78 and mom snapped this photo of me astride my Elsinore, still sporting the #Z Practice was enlightening. The grass was wet and slippery, which required exacting throttle control and scooting far up on the gas tank in corners. Throttle control I'd acquired since I'd last ridden an Elsinore, but scooting forward proved problematic as I had a tough time getting my knees under the handlebars. The fact that the 30-year-old seat foam was packed down helped in this regard, even if I could feel the seat rails by moto's end. The races went pretty much as I expected. I signed up for the Sportsman 125 Expert class and ended up going 4-4 for-you guessed it-fourth overall. Conditions were perfect in the first moto, and I was able to keep the leaders in sight, even trading third place with a Yamaha YZ125 rider a couple times. The second moto was dusty and slick, and I let the leaders go as I busied myself trying to avoid losing the front end.

One Industries helmet and Alpinestars Supervictory boots complete the ensemble. Team portrait: That's me in the period Honda gear, flanked by bike owner Greg Bastek (in M Of course I'd gotten more or less accustomed to the bike by then, and riding around by myself like that, my thoughts drifted back and forth between the present and the past. When I was a kid, the CR125 was more motorcycle than I could handle, and it was a steep learning curve trying to tame it. But now, it felt like a mini-bike-in fact, at 180 pounds it's the only motorcycle I've ever raced that I've outweighed! The suspension felt primitive at best, the rear end kicking up over square-edged bumps, and the drum front brake required a strong pull to achieve anything remotely resembling stopping power. Fortunately the track was mostly fast and flowing, and with such a low center of gravity, the little Elsie slid really well on the gas. The funny thing about racing is, as soon as you get the green flag you just want to see the checkered-especially when you're winning! But this one time, I was genuinely sorry to see the race end. Riding dirtbikes always makes me feel young, but for those 15 or 20 minutes I really did feel like a teenager again. The day after I got home to L.A., I got an email from Greg: "Great meeting you and hanging out at the races last weekend. Hope your trip home was smooth. Make sure to stay in touch if you're ever Back East again. "By the way, the left-side numberplate is missing off the 125. Any idea where it could have gone?" I don't think he believed me when I told him I didn't take it as a memento. « | 1 | 2 | View Full Article By Brian Catterson Enjoyed this Post?

text: Ben Affleck With Daughter Violet in Santa Monica Ben and Violet Make a Sunny Stop as Jen Addresses His Oscars Speech by Meghan Rooney 04/4/13 0 Reactions 1 Shares Print 0 0 1 0 0 Ben Affleck helped his oldest daughter, Violet, out of his car in Santa Monica yesterday. Violet wore a pastel ensemble and carried a bag monogrammed with her name for the bright father-daughter stop. Ben is currently on dad duty with wife Jennifer Garner spending time in NYC. Although Jen left her family for a stay on the East Coast, she got in plenty of quality time with the kids recently. Earlier this week, she was the one helping Violet out of the car while out in LA, and Jen also shared brunch with all three of their children over the weekend. Ben and Jen have been taking turns caring for their kids based on their busy schedules, and she recently addressed his highly criticised Oscar speech, in which he referred to their marriage as "work." Although critics were quick to paint his words in a negative light, Jennifer explained Ben's Oscars speech from her perspective in an interview with Britain's Telegraph, revealing, "I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world. I think he was saying, 'Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I'm in it with you and I know you are in it with me.' That's the way I took it."

The nearest Best Buy stores to Seal Beach and Los Alamitos escaped the list of store closures announced by the electronics chain this week.
Of the seven California stores slated for closure, one was in Orange County. The Tustin store on Park Avenue will close down the company announced. However, the Belmont Shore and Westminster stores (the two closest) will not be affected by the company's spate of nationwide closures.
Since last month, Best Buy has announced 50 store closures. Most of these stores will permanently close by May 12. Three additional locations are expected to permanently close later this summer, but the company has not yet announced those locations.
CEO Brian Dunn said in a press release that as the consumer electronics industry evolves, the company is taking "major actions" to improve its operating performance.
The company hopes its new multi-channel strategy will strengthen its portfolio of store formats. The strategy includes "closing some big box stores, modifying others to our enhanced Connected Store format, and adding Best Buy Mobile stand-alone locations," Dunn said, noting that the company's goal is to improve the shopping environment, increase its points of presence and improve performance, in addition to increasing profits.
He added that the coming changes will lower the company's overall cost structure, allowing it to invest some of the savings into improving customer experiences and more competitive prices.
If all goes as planned, the company will save its first $300 million with the closing 50 stores next year as part of its $800 million, multi-year cost reduction program.
The company issued a written statement on its website about the closures.
"This was not an easy decision to make. We chose these stores carefully, and are working to ensure the impact to our employees will be as minimal as possible, while serving all customers in a convenient and satisfying way. But we also recognize the impact this news has on the people who deserve respect for the contributions they have made to our business."
Angela Atkinson contributed to this report.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Brewers open exhibition play Saturday
Phoenix - The Brewers open their 2013 Cactus League schedule with a home game against Oakland on Saturday at Maryvale Baseball Park.
The exhibition opener is set for 2:05 p.m. CT and is being broadcast only as a webcast on Brewers.com.
Right-hander Mike Fiers, one of the candidates to make the starting rotation, is scheduled to start for the Brewers. Others on the list to pitch include relievers John Axford and Jim Henderson.
Manager Ron Roenicke indicated Friday that most if not all of his starters would see action in the game. Ryan Braun wants to see as much action as possible early to get ready for the World Baseball Classic. Aramis Ramirez also wants to play a lot in exhibition season to see if he can avoid his traditional slow start to the regular season.

Almost set to head over to Maryvale. Sunny and 66; I can live with that.
The Rameriz stuff is kind of funny to read. Really at this point in his career hasn't he already tried about everything possible to get off to a good start? Wanting to play a lot in exhibition season you would think is something he's tried before.
Would have been nice to have the Exh. opener on the radio.

The Fifty Grand Studies, op. 126, by Peter Joseph von Lindpaintner
For a composer who achieved a large measure of success during his lifetime, starting from humble origins, and leaving an impressively large body of work (with almost five hundred numbered works in his self-produced thematic index, held in manuscript in Stuttgart), the life and work of Peter Joseph von Lindpaintner (1791-1856) is exceptionally little-known today, although recent years have seen a few editions and recordings. The thematic index, although apparently unusually informative, still awaits publication. A biography of Lindpaintner was published in the year of his death, as part of a series on contemporary composers (Die Componisten der neueren Zeit). Since then there has been a doctoral dissertation focusing on his operas (Rolf Hänsler, 1928), and a monograph by Reiner Nägele (1993, published by Hans Schneider), the latter without a works list, disappointingly.
Peter Joseph von Lindpaintner (the noble "von" was a personal honor the composer received later in life) was the son of the tenor, Jacob Lindpaintner, who, "officially", was the son of the farmer, Matthias Limpointner (or Lindpoindner), and his wife, Maria Gittlin (or Gittl), from a village three hours travel from Munich. The real story, passed down in the Lindpaintner family till today, was that Jacob was the illegitimate son of Clemens Wenzeslaus, the Prince-Bishop of Augsburg and Elector of Trier (who was indeed to be the last such, due to the secularization of the diocese, with all of its institutions given to the Elector of Bavaria in 1802). Jacob went to Koblenz with Clemens Wenzeslaus in 1777 (Koblenz was the site of the latter's residence, at the Fortress Ehrenbreitstein). Jacob was engaged as a tenor there, and also as personal lackey. He married the daughter of the second hornist, Anna Maria Barbara, in 1781. Not surprisingly, their first son was named for Clemens. Peter Joseph, the seventh child to be born to the couple, arrived on Dec. 8, 1791. The upheavals occasioned by the French Revolution meant that Koblenz (located at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel) was flooded with refugees, and after an attempt at a royalist reaction, the city and region were taken by the French army and incorporated into France. The Prince-Bishop then relocated to Augsburg, where Peter Joseph spent most of his childhood, studying both violin and piano, and began to compose at age 12. The first composition to be included in his personal thematic index was a sonata in C for piano and violin, from April 1808.
Clemens Wenzeslaus sent him to study in Munich in 1806 with the noted opera composer Peter von Winter, who had become Kapellmeister there in 1798. After five years of study he returned to Augsburg in 1811, with plans for three years of further study in Italy. However, his patron (grandfather?) died on July 27, 1812, leaving him an inheritance of five hundred gulden annually. Lindpaintner then applied for the position of music director at the new royal theater at the Isartor in Munich, and was appointed.
His works for the stage there seem to have been notably unsuccessful. Finances were mismanaged, expensive singers let go, and Lindpaintner complained that they were replaced by "untrained, good-for-nothing garglers". On the positive side of the ledger, this seems to have led to a wealth of instrumental works, with various compositions for the noted clarinetist Heinrich Baermann (1784-1847), employed in the court orchestra in Munich beginning in 1807, including a set of variations with orchestra, a quintet, and several concerti; concertinos for violin and orchestra; a concerto and a concertino for bassoon; and a flute concerto for the young Theobald Boehm, a native of Munich who became flutist at the Isartor theater under Lindpaintner (and of course, later, the creator of the flute as we know it today).
It seems like this connection with Boehm might well be responsible for the composition of the 50 Etudes Pour la Flute, op. 126, which, to judge from the opus number would have been composed in the years 1813-1815, that is, shortly after Lindpaintner began his position at the Isartor theater, and at about the same time he would have met Boehm. The publication history of the works is not at all clear; Schafhautl's Life of Boehm provides a list of Lindpaintner's works for flute which lists the op. 126 Etudes as being published in 4 books by Wessel (who began operations in 1824), but no copy of this edition apparently survives. The earliest edition surviving is apparently that of Richault, published in 1865, thus almost ten years after the composer's death. It is the Richault edition (plate no. 13771, nr. 1 & 2) that was still being published in the mid-twentieth century by Costallat in Paris.
Lindpaintner's Etudes are unusual in several ways. Firstly, they are the work of a composer who, as far as we know, was not a flutist himself. This might be unique in the flute literature. Next, for this period, 50 is a substantial number for a collection of etudes for the flute (compare, for example, the set of twelve by Jensen, from a decade or two later.) And then, for those accustomed to thinking of etudes as technical exercises where a particularly difficulty or melodic pattern is taken through all possible permutations (and hence both tedious and numbingly unmusical), these are more in the nature of recital pieces for the enjoyment of both performer and listener, similar to the 24 Divertissements, op. 45, of Georg Abraham Schneider, published in two volumes in Leipzig by Kühnel at approximately the same time – short, free-standing pieces, not intended as multi-movement sonatas, not structured by key, and not arranged in increasing level of difficulty. Indeed, the Richault edition describes the Lindpaintner works as "progressive", but the title of the Wessel edition (Grand Studies) does not, and in comparison with later, progressive sets (e.g. the 72 etudes for the Boehm flute by Drouet, from 40 years later) they are not, except for the fact that the two largest works in the set are placed at the end (two sets of 12 variations each on Andantino themes in D and G major, respectively.)
Among the "characteristic" movements included by Lindpaintner are a Bohemienne (since this is a dance in duple meter (2/4), in two-bar phrases, perhaps this is another name for the dance that would become known as the polka, which is of Bohemian origin, and appeared at precisely this time), a Barcarole Genoise (usually the form is associated with gondolas in Venice, not Genoa), a Fandango (marked moderato, in contrast to the normally quick tempo), a Tarantelle, marked molto vivace, but in duple meter (2/4), not compound duple (6/8) as would be more usual.
The keys chosen for the etudes are those most comfortable for the early keyed-flute, with a maximum of five sharps (found twice, with movements in B major and G# minor), six flats (for a movement in E-flat minor, not surprisingly marked lugubre) once, and four flats, once. The range employed descends to the notes of the C foot (C, C#), but infrequently, and similarly does not make extensive use of the top of the instrument.
All in all, this little-known set (apparently out of print at this writing – the selection published by Billaudot is, I am assured by the trade, 20 of the etudes in the edition with a second flute part added by Altes) is worth studying, getting to know, and indeed sharing some of its number on a recital program.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m., Monday, May 13, 2013, at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, North Mankato with Rev. Peter Nosbush, officiating. Visitation will be held from 4-7 p.m., Sunday at Mankato Mortuary and will continue one hour before service at church on Monday. Interment with military honors will be in Calvary Cemetery, Mankato. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Holy Rosary Catholic Church or Morson Ario VFW Club.
Paul was born a son of Edward and Gertrude (Landkamer) Ulmen, on January 5, 1930. Paul attended SS Peter and Paul Grade School and graduated from Loyola High School in 1948.
In March of 1951, he was united in marriage to Donna Mae Wrucke at SS. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Mankato. The marriage was blessed with four children who are all among the survivors, Larry (Laurie) Ulmen of North Mankato, Cindy (Al) Paulson of Apple Valley, Ron of Mankato, and Becky of North Mankato; five grandchildren, Matt, JoAnna, and Kara Ulmen, Ryan (Trish) Paulson, Nathan Paulson and fianc, Megan Kaufenberg; one great-granddaughter, Joey Paulson; two sisters, Mary (Don) Haley of Mankato and Sister Evelyn Ulmen, SSND of Good Counsel Hill, Mankato; special friend, Bev Sawyer of Pathstone Living of Mankato.
In March of 1950, Paul started working at Neubert Millwork. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in October 1951, during the Korean Conflict, and served in Germany until being discharged in September of 1953.
After he was discharged he returned to Neubert Millwork and was a dedicated employee. After a total of over 50 years, he retired in December of 2002.
Paul was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters 552 where he served as Youth Director from 1954-57. He was also a member of the American Legion Post 11 and Morson Ario VFW Post 9713, where he served as Post Commander in 1980-81. He became Gaming Manager in July 1985 and served in that position until his death.
The last few years his activities were limited after being diagnosed with a lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, which ultimately claimed his life.
Paul was preceded in death by his father and mother; and his wife, Donna in April 1989.

Noise with ImageCopyResampled
It is almost the holiday season and to my surprise it is unfortunately already snowing in my transparent images.
The situation is that I am uploading transparent PNG images with the given code below and the result is that there is noise in the final image.
Searching the web for answers tells me that more people had this but any solution is not to be found
only PHP.net shows me that in the past there where even some bug reports about it.
Switching from imagecopyresampled to imagecopyresized solves it but then the quality of the image is to cry for.
Can anyone tell me more about the problem, if you also encountered it and what you did to fix it?
PHP Code:
$original_file= imagecreatefrompng($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
$new_image= imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
$transparent= imagecolorallocatealpha($new_image, 255, 255, 255, 127);
imagefilledrectangle($new_image, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $transparent);
imagealphablending($new_image, false);
imagecopyresampled($new_image, $original_file, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $orig_width, $orig_height);
imagePNG($new_image, $destination);

OKC Pride and the Oklahoma Gay Rodeo Association have teamed up to bring a celebration of diversity like never before. This year, Pride Week gets extended to 11 days full of events.
"We decided that one weekend couldn't contain it," said OKC Pride board member Matt Harney.
The lineup starts tomorrow with a one-time screening of the film Wish Me Away, at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. This documentary (see Rod Lott's review here) is about Chely Wright, among the first country singers to come out as gay. Grab dinner beforehand at S & B Burger Joint, since 10 percent of sales tomorrow will benefit OKC Pride.
Another film will be shown outdoors at 8:30 p.m. Friday in the parking lot of 614 W. Sheridan. The Sons of Tennessee Williams is a documentary about the gay Mardis Gras krewes of New Orleans in the 1950s and '60s.
The Pride Festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday at OKC's Film Exchange District. The family-friendly event features live music and entertainment, food, drinks and nonprofit exhibitors.
The parade begins at 6 p.m.
Sunday, following its usual route downtown beginning at "The Strip" on N.W. 39th Street. Harney said the parade has wide appeal.
"There are people who are saying that they support our mission of diversity," he said.
Post-parade, the celebration continues with symbols to raise awareness: wearing purple on Monday to support anti-bullying efforts; orange on Tuesday to represent the vision of possibilities; and pink on May 25 to acknowledge the movement's origins.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 23, at Church of the Open Arms, 3131 N. Pennsylvania, there will be light snacks and a free screening of Fish Can't Fly, a documentary about gay men and women of religious faith.
On May 24, Angles, 2117 N.W. 39th, hosts Turning Drag on Its Wig, where the Cimarron Alliance presents the most unlikely of drag queens.
The Oklahoma Gay Rodeo Association sponsors the Great Plains Rodeo May 26-27 at the State Fairgrounds. The traditional rodeo is the association's biggest fundraiser of the year.
"This time is the biggest celebration of diversity in the state, and at the end of the day, diversity is our main focus," said Joshua Sauer, OKC Pride vice president.
Editor's note: For more on the changing face of OKC Pride over the past quarter-century, see our story by James Cooper here.

FRIDAY, Aug. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Taxing sodas and other sugary beverages won't help reduce obesity because consumers would switch to other high-calorie foods and drinks that aren't taxed, a new study contends.
The researchers came to their conclusion after analyzing data on household food purchases made by Americans in 2006. The findings were published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics.
"Instituting a sugary-beverage tax may be an appealing public-policy option to curb obesity, but it's not as easy to use taxes to curb obesity as it is with smoking," study lead author Chen Zhen, a research economist at RTI International, said in a journal news release.
"Consumers can simply substitute an untaxed high-calorie food for a taxed one," Zhen said. "And as we know, reducing calories is just one of many ways to promoting healthy eating and reducing nutrition-related chronic disease."
In the United States, about 36 percent of adults and 17 percent of children and teens are obese. A previous RTI study found that medical costs associated with obesity are $147 billion or more per year.
A soda tax has been proposed by public-health advocates who hope higher prices will deter unhealthy food purchases.
Taking another approach to combat obesity, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg attempted to ban the sale of many large-size sweetened drinks, but the effort has been struck down twice, most recently by an appeals court. The higher court ruled that the city's Board of Health did not have authority to approve the soda restrictions. The rule was also flawed by loopholes and exemptions, the court said.
For the current study, the researchers also looked at differences between lower- and higher-income households. Foods and beverages purchased by lower-income families tended to be higher in calories, fat and sodium content than those bought by higher-income families.
"Because lower-income families tend to buy more sugary soft drinks than higher-income families, they would more readily reap the health benefits of reduced sugary-beverage intake," Zhen said. "However, they would also pay more in beverage taxes, making it a regressive tax."
The study was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Smash His Camera
What's even amazing is that Ron Galella is still making headlines. HBO will air a documentary about the photographer this Monday, June 7th at 9:00pm entitled Smash His Camera which will also have an accompanying exhibition at Clic Gallery on Broome Street. "Smash His Camera" is apparently what Jackie said to her secret service agent after Ron got a little too close for comfort after a bike ride to through the Park with John Junior. So glad they smashed it after he got some good photos!

Way to go adults - no one knows how to swim and none are wearing life vests, including the 3-year old. -OIRH
Fire and emergency crews pulled three men and a 3-year-old child from the Catawba River on Saturday evening when the boat they were fishing in became stuck on rocks.
Around 6:30 p.m., emergency personnel were called to the Riverwalk area to help the fishing group stranded on rocks near the park, just south of the U.S. 21 bridge in Rock Hill.
Capt. Mike Ellis of the Rock Hill Fire Department said water began to come into the group's boat. None of the men was wearing a life jacket or knew how to swim. The child was without a life jacket as well.
An employee with Rock Hill's Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department used a kayak and got the three men and child off the boat, one by one, Ellis said.
By 6:50 p.m., emergency crews that had been dispatched to Riverwalk and Rock Hill's River Park farther to the south were clearing the area.
There were no injuries, Ellis said.
As for the fishermen's catch, "they had to turn the fish loose," Ellis said.

Annual Town Meeting is less than a week away in Acton, on Monday, April 1, and residents will decide then whether to transform the Morrison Farm property into a park.
The propsed park, costing $2.8 million, on the town-owned farm land, would have trails, a sports field and a new nature center, according to an article on Boston.com.
The Morrison Farm Committee is seeking Town Meeting to approve $2.5 million in borrowing for the project, the article says. Another warrant article before Town Meeting would appropriate $260,000 in Community Preservation Act funds for the project.
The farm is on Concord Road between Woodlawn Cemetery and Ice House Pond, and was acquired by the town in 1997, following a Town Meeting vote, according to Boston.com.
Elements of the park plan include the following, according to Boston.com:
- 15 acres of forested land protected under Conservation Commission care
- a large open meadow
- continuation of community garden plots and the Pam Resor Orchard
- preservation of the Robbins Homestead site
- preservation of the Ice House foundation
- a building to house the new Morrison Nature and History Center
- boardwalks, trails and a connecting bridge
- a picnic area
- a playground
- East Acton Village Green
- a playing field for sports games
Town Meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 1, at 7 p.m. at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School.

The Freehold Regional High School District's (FRHSD) Medical Sciences Learning Center received the Exemplary Program designation, the highest honor of the New Jersey School Boards Association's (NJSBA) 26th Annual School Leader Award program.
The NJSBA School Leader Award program recognizes creative public school programs that enhance learning. Programs are judged on the degree of innovation and challenge, how well the program addresses a need, and evaluation among other criteria.
The Medical Sciences Learning Center based out of Freehold High School, will receive special recognition during the NJSBA Atlantic City Convention on Oct. 23. The ceremony will take place during the opening session, starting at 12:30 p.m. on the TD Bank Stage in the Exhibit Hall. The Medical Sciences Learning Center will also be featured in a future issue of the School Leader magazine, a publication of NJSBA.
Superintendent Charles Sampson stated that the award is truly a capstone to the decade long partnership with CentraState Hospital and a testament to the outstanding staff and faculty who oversee the Freehold High School program.
"The recognition is well deserved as the Medical Sciences Learning Center is an exceptionally rigorous and personalized learning experience for those students that accept such a demanding challenge," said Sampson.
Sampson also thanked Board of Education member Maryanne Tomazic for her work in the award entry process. Tomazic is a graduate of the Medical Sciences Learning Center.
The Medical Sciences Learning Center offers a comprehensive and rigorous schedule of mathematics and science as well as a thorough preparation for postsecondary work to high-achieving, self-motivated students interested in medical and natural sciences. Students work and study in a creative environment enhanced by contact with specialists in the mathematics, science, and health-care fields. Final approval for enrollment in the Medical Sciences Learning Center is contingent upon the successful completion of Algebra 1 with a grade of 'B' or better by the end of the eighth grade, as evidenced by the middle school transcript.
Opportunities exist for articulation with medical and research facilities. Personal and career counseling with field experiences prepares each student for college and career selection. The program affiliates with colleges, universities, research centers, CentraState Medical Center, and private practitioners.

A Sanford-based yarn maker will be able to expand its business and save U.S. jobs thanks to an agreement with the Export-Import Bank of the United States that will enable it to obtain $40 million in financing.
The agreement announced today by U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, a North Carolina Democrat, will translate into 50 jobs at Frontier Spinning Mills -- a combination of new hires plus employees that the company can avoid letting go, said CEO John L. Bakane. Frontier has about 1,400 workers, more than 90 percent of whom are at North Carolina plants in Sanford and Mayodan; it also has a plant in Alabama.
Bakane said the agreement with the Export-Import Bank calls for Frontier to receive $40 million in credit insurance, for which Pioneer will pay a premium. That will enable Pioneer to finance up to $40 million in receivables from overseas customers through a bank.
"We are willing to pay an insurance premium because we think it is worth it to get the financing," Bakane said.
"In today's economy, where 95 percent of the world's customers live outside the United States, exporting is an important way North Carolina companies can expand their businesses, create jobs and preserve a more secure economic future," Hagan said in a prepared statement.
Bakane said that the Export-Import Bank fills a real need helping U.S. companies compete in the global marketplace. And, he added, "it's a program that's designed so that it doesn't cost the taxpayers anything."
Founded in 1996, Frontier is one of the country's largest producers of 100 percent cotton and cotton-blend yarns.
The company doesn't disclose revenue or production numbers, but Bakane did say: "We buy close to 1 million bales of cotton a year. A lot of that comes from North Carolina growers."

Mangini: Browns won't claim Moss
The Browns aren't going to claim ex-Vikings WR Randy Moss on waivers, head coach Eric Mangini said Wednesday.
A person with knowledge of the negotiations says the Cleveland Browns have reached agreement with Pro Bowl offensive tackle Joe Thomas on a long-term contract extension.||||||| Thomas has made the Pro Bowl in each of his four seasons and is regarded as one of the NFL's best left tackles.
Thomas was added Tuesday to the AFC Pro Bowl roster, replacing Jason Peters of the Buffalo Bills.||||||| Thomas, the third overall selection in last year's draft, started all 16 games for the Browns and was part of an offensive line that allowed only 19 sacks, the third-fewest in franchise history.
Thomas agreed to terms on a six-year contract with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, ensuring the No. 3 overall pick will be at the opening of training camp.||||||| Rated as the top lineman in April's draft, and one of the most polished to come out of college in the past few years, Thomas will compete with incumbent Kevin Shaffer for the starting job at left tackle.
Thomas is nearing a deal and his agent is hopeful the offensive tackle will be signed by the start of training camp Friday.||||||| The Browns are anticipating that Thomas will make an immediate impact at left tackle on the team's inconsistent and injury-filled offensive line. Thomas' contract talks were expected to be tricky because the third pick in the past three drafts has been a position player - wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald, Braylon Edwards and quarterback Vince Young - and the Browns are reluctant to give a tackle $15 million or more in guaranteed money.

Different Types of ApplicationsThe three main types of application that can be written in C# are.
- Winforms - Windows like Forms.
- Console - Command line Input and Output.
- Web Sites.
Manipulating DataIn the rest of this lesson we'll look at variables, types and classes. No matter what type of application you are writing you need somewhere to store data. This data can be numbers, text or even digital media like a graphical image or music file. The CPU doesn't care what we think the data represents- it just sees it as byte sized numbers in memory. It's what we tell the CPU to do with the data that matters.
The lessons have been learnt with languages like C that when you relax how your program handles data then it gets harder to write correctly functioning programs. Strict type checking means the compiler is more likely to find a fault while the program is being developed instead of a user finding the fault when running it. It's much cheaper (and less aggravating!) to fix faults during development than in a deployed application.

This week at the Google Webmaster Central blog, Google has a series of blog posts all about links. The first two blog posts are live and are named:
Google explains that they will be writing about three main topics this week.
(1) Internal links, the links that you have within your site. That post is already live and is about the how you should structure your link structure for best search engine visibility.
(2) Outbound links or the links you post on your pages to other sites. I assume Google will discuss the value of these links and who you should and should not link to. Clearly, think about your user here and not the search engine.
(3) Inbound links or the external sites that are linking to your site. I assume Google left this for last, because this may be the most interesting topic. Google plans to bust some myths, so it will be interesting to see what they say on the topic of links hurting your site. Time will tell – but stay tuned for more information.
Postscript: Here is Google's post on linking outbound, which has useful tips for beginners on who and when to link out. In addition, it tells you how to handle user generated content links.
Postscript 2: I was a bit let down by Google's inbound link post.

The FCC's third way approach
Posted by Richard Whitt, Washington Telecom and Media Counsel
This morning the FCC asked for public comment on its proposed "
third way
," a light-touch approach that would restore legal clarity after the recent
Comcast decision
. As we have said before, broadband infrastructure is too important to be left outside of any oversight. Google,
along with a dozen other tech companies
, have written in support of Chairman Genachowski's proposed "third way" as a straightforward way to protect consumers and the open Internet.

Pros: Looking around by turning yourself is a fun gimmick, a way to see places you'll never visit.
Cons: Lacks some major tourist spots like Cairo.
When I was a kid, people would have their vacation photographs turned into slides that could be projected onto a screen (yes, I'm that old). Friends of my parents would come back from a national park loaded down with slides, and I would have to stare at them for what seemed like hours while they rattled on about what a nice trip they'd had.
If you hate vacation pictures as much as I do, you probably won't be that excited by Wii Street U, an app for the Wii U (free at present) which is essentially a more high tech way to look at a bunch of pictures of places you're not at. Those who love leafing through coffee table books full of scenery from other places may, on the other hand, simply adore this modern version of the travelogue.
The Basics: Street View Comes to the Wii U
Wii Street U (always referred to by Nintendo as "Wii Street U powered by Google," is an app that uses Google's street view to let users view the rest of the world. For me, Google Maps has always been a tool to find directions or a nearby restaurant or, in street view, to figure out if that store I went to ten years ago is still there. But Wii Street U isn't focused on - or designed for – usefulness; it's all about the scenery.
The Experience: Look Around!
By default Wii U displays Street View on the gamepad, although you can push a button to show the same image on screen, which otherwise shows an overhead map. To look around, users must move the gamepad, pointing it up to see the sky and down to see the road; to move to a new spot you choose a direction indicated by an arrow and press A. If you're looking north and want to look south you can stand up and face the other direction. At first I thought that was the only way it could be done, until someone pointed out that the direction keys would let me reorient my view, allowing me to stay comfortably seated on the couch.
While you can input any address or notable site that Street View has in its database (not every country is a fan of cameras snapping everything in sight, so you'll find nothing for Egypt and nothing outdoors for India), Wii Street U has a menu of hot tourist spots like Stonehenge, The Great Barrier Reef, The Swiss Alps and Antarctica.
The Verdict: Not My Thing, But It's Free So Why Not Check It Out?
Exploring interesting places is one of the things that made me love games like Myst that allow you to wander through mysterious, foreign places, learn about ancient cultures, and solve intricate puzzles. Take out the puzzles, the story, the unearthly scenery, and the peaceful ambient sound effects and you are left with Wii Street U. If you're a gamer, that might not be enough, but if you like vacation slides or spending hours perusing your facebook friends' vacation images then this might be just what you're looking for.

A blonde's redhead decides to show her a neat way to trick people -- you put your hand on a wall and ask someone to punch it. But before they do, you pull your hand away!
"That is a neat trick," thinks the blonde, and tries desperately to remember it, but isn't all too successful. Despite this, she decides to try it out on her blonde friend.
"Okay," she says, "I'm going to put my hand in front of my face..."

Admiral Insurance – A Great Place to Work
Halifax's Admiral Insurance has been named the eigth best workplace in Canada by the Great Place to Work Institute Canada.
It is the third year the UK based company, which opened the Halifax office in 2007, has been recognized as one of the top employers in the country.
Admiral is also one of the best workplaces for women in the country.
Vice President, Alexander MacDonald said, "We firmly and wholeheartedly believe people who like what they do, do it better and as such we go out of our way to ensure coming to work at the Admiral Group is enjoyable.
"Admiral is proud to offer an honest and open culture. Every member of staff is treated as an equal, achievement is rewarded and recognized, and, most of all, coming to work is fun.
"This achievement is a credit to our incredibly talented and dedicated employees who strive each and every day to deliver the best customer service experience possible and to supporting our commitment to creating an outstanding workplace culture."
Jose Tolovi Neto, Managing Partner at Great Place to Work® Institute Canada said, "Great Place to Work® Institute would like to recognize and congratulate Admiral Insurance for its success in creating a great workplace culture.
"Admiral Insurance has been ranked on our 2013 list because employees told us they trust management, have pride in their jobs, and enjoy the people they work with.
"Employees at Admiral Insurance care about their work, their organization, and their community. Management was also recognized by employees as being highly credible".
The list of "Best Workplaces in Canada" is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. The Great Place to Work Institute defines winning companies as those organizations where "employees trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with."
The competition process is based on two criteria: employee survey results and in-depth review of the organization's culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work®: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
This year's the Great Places to Work Institute saw over 57,000 employees across Canada participate in the 2013 "Best Workplaces in Canada" survey.

Good Dinner in St. Louis
I am looking for a nice restaurant (price no object) to take a client in St. Louis. I have had a couple of disappointing meals on the Hill and have heard that Tony's has long been in decline (I have not been there for a number of years). I also thought BarCelona was probably the worst imitation of tapas I have ever seen in my life. Any thoughts on promising young chefs or venues?
Terrene is a nice place with a famous chef and nice food, but it is noisy.
Eleven Eleven Mississippi provides a good meal in a good atmosphere.
Harvest has never disappointed and is a lovely place to dine.
Ate at the Clark Street Grill for lunch, and I was impressed.
If price is no object, the reviews of Busch's Grove have been good.
I think Al's is a great place to entertain a client who appreciates "old school" fine dining.

It is presumed that a script exists for data entry. The data-entry script has two jobs: the first is to enter the customer's name and mailing address for later use in building a mailing list; the second is to record the customer's order of any of seven items, the number of items ordered, and the price per item. The data collected for the mailing list and the customer order were written to separate files.
