The Innovation America Foundation is looking to encourage 21st-century skills in high school students. With the help of Apple, the organization has launched "Voices of Innovation," a contest calling on students to produce videos on the subject of improving the world through innovative thinking.
The contest calls on students to produce 45-second spots answering the question, "How can you improve your world through innovation?" And, in particular, "how innovation sparks American ingenuity and continued global leadership."
Submissions will be judged by a panel of governors and CEOs, according to the company, and submissions will appear on IAF's website, Apple's Student Gallery website, the Apple Learning Interchange, and the iTunes podcast directory. Five grand prize winners will win Apple iPod Nanos, Final Cut Studio, iLife '08, and iWork '08. Fifteen honorable mention winners will receive Apple iPod Shuffles, iLife '08, and iWork '08.
The deadline for entries is Oct. 19. Further information can be found at the link below.

R My Name Is Rachel
BOOK NAME: R My Name is Rachel
AUTHOR: Patricia Reilly Giff
In 1936, the Depression affects almost everyone. This was a time when jobs were scarce and many people suddenly found themselves poor. Twelve-year-old Rachel and her family are no exception. Pop lost his job in the city and the bills are piling up at home. It seems like there is no longer a way for them to afford to keep their home. So, Pop finds out that a bank job is available out in the countryside and Rachel is scared of this change. The city is all she knows. Miss Mitzi, a neighbor and best friend of Rachel, would have to be left behind. Rachel sees Miss Mitizi as a kind of mother to her because her mother died when she was young. She secretly hopes that Ms. Mitzi will marry her father.
When she sees their new country home with the run down barn and half weather-proofed house, Rachel yearns for Ms. Mitzi to bring some new life to the land. But not everything is terrible as Rachel finds hidden treasures throughout the home. She loves the drawings hidden around and wonders who drew them. But things turn from bad to worse when Pop finds out that the job he was promised is not available and now they are stuck. Pop then finds a new government project to build a bridge. This is great news, but he would have to go away and leave his three children by themselves. Even though Rachel is only twelve years old, she is in charge of the family and feels like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders. It is even more desperate when she finds out her little sister lost the only money Pop left them.
What a story! This book is all about strength and finding beauty everywhere you look. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Great Depression or historical fiction. You will be amazed at how desperate situations sometimes bring out the strength in you.

I know hawks are cool and a lot of folks own them. Some folks like them for defense or fighting or whatever. That is a reasonable point however I am not really concerned about it. First any situation where I would have a hawk I would have a pistol and probably a rifle. Secondly yes, Rogers Rangers carried hawks as backups but they didn't have 30 rd mags for rifles and 17 rd mags in pistols. Third I wouldn't exactly want to get hit with a hatchet anyway.
My questions are as follows:
Does anybody uses a hawk for practical woods stuff like chopping a few limbs to make a shelter, cutting firewood, etc?
If so how does it compare to a hatchet for these purposes?
Other than the cool and theoretical tactical factor what makes a hawk better than a hatchet?
Input would be appreciated.

Once there was a church that had a bell that no one could ring. One day, a boy came and asked the priest if he could try. So the boy went up into the tower and ran straight into the bell, face-first. The bell tolled loud and clear. The shocked priest gave him the job. But one Sunday, he ran straight toward the bell with his face and missed and fell off the tower and died.
"Congregation," the priest said before the assembled masses. "Does anybody know this boy's name? Because I don't know him, but his face rings a bell."

Study in the USA with Navitas
When it comes to university-level education, no other country in the world inspires the academic respect and imagination as the USA. Names such as Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and MIT have become global education brands which have led the way for most of the past century. In the two most influential global university ranking indexes (The Times Higher Ed and the Shanghai Jiao Tong) , American universities have a near monopoly on the Top 10 places, with only Oxford and Cambridge challenging for a spot in the Top 10.
For international students, the USA is a huge draw card. A qualification from a US university can lead to all sorts of career opportunities back home.
Navitas offers a 'University Pathway Program' at five highly respected US universities. The Navitas University Pathway Program is an excellent option for international students who are looking for a more supportive learning environment in first year of studies at an American university. The combination of on-campus university study, in small classes and with more contact time with teachers and lecturers, is a great way to ensure you increase your chances of successfully completing your first year at university in the USA. Students who successfully complete the Navitas University Pathway Program go straight into Year 2 of their university degree.
Navitas also offers 'Pre-Masters' courses at some of its USA colleges. These one-semester programs provide the necessary preparation for entry into a Masters degree at a Navitas partner university in the USA.

Gilda's Going Shopping: My hair is thick, coarse and dry. Which product should I buy, PANTENE or HERBAL ESSENCES? The Left Brain responds:
It's interesting that you ask about those two products because, as you can tell if you look at the ingredient lists, they are actually the same basic formula. (They are even covered by the same patents).
Take a look at Pantene's Ice Shine conditioner and Herbal Essences' Hydration Conditioner. If you turn the bottles around you'll see that the first five key ingredients are exactly the same:
Water, Stearyl Alcohol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Alcohol, and Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine.
Are these similarities surprising? Not at all considering that P&G (the company that makes Pantene) bought Clairol (the company that makes Herbal Essences.) Shortly after the purchase, P&G converted the Herbal Essences formulas to their Pantene base.
This isn't a bad thing since Pantene is an excellent conditioner. In fact, it's probably a better deal for you because now you can get the performance of Pantene with the color and fragrance of Herbal Essences. So, either product will work fine, go with the one that smells the best to you or is least expensive.

Location: Commodity Utilization Research
Technical Abstract: Hard-to-boil (HTB) massecuites (mixture of sucrose crystals in molasses) with markedly low heat transfer properties are a sporadic but continuing problem in sugarcane factories, which causes raw sugar and molasses production to decrease and increase, respectively. It usually occurs after severely deteriorated sugarcane has been processed, but the specific cause is unknown and only limited correction has occurred. At the end of the 2006 sugarcane processing season HTB and normal massecuites and molasses were collected from four Louisiana factories. Compared to normal samples, the HTB samples had 9.1-33.2% lower heat conductivity and 10.0-49.2% higher heat resistivity. The more HTB a sample is, then the greater the increase in heat resistivity compared to the corresponding decrease in heat conductivity. This strongly indicates substance(s) are responsible for suppressing heat transfer. Excess lime addition to neutralize acids during juice clarification is not the direct cause of hard boiling. Oscillatory deformation rheology was applied to the samples at 20 degrees C. Normal molasses samples gave typical mechanical spectra of concentrated solutions. In contrast, a highly viscous, intermolecular (gel) network was present in the HTB samples, which would explain the difficulty to remove entrapped water on boiling. One or more soluble polysaccharide(s) are likely the cause of the gel network. GPC, TLC, and methylation analyses suggested the presence of an arabinogalactan and endo-dextranase resistant dextran structures. The HTB phenomenon may have different causes and mannitol is a contributing factor. Additional research is required to find an economical processing aid that is capable of improving heat transfer and breaking down the intermolecular network in HTB samples at the factory.

They need more than one person!
16 May 2012, 06:43 am@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-4:
Nacewa is a match winner, well he was for Auckland….See another two ex Auckland players there….Mils and John Afoa…..will take then too.
You can have John Smit and the Beaver -
16 May 2012, 06:53 am@Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-5:
Don't dispute that, just think they need more than a player or two to fix things…new broom for starters! As for Smitty, leave him, he is working on his retirement.
16 May 2012, 07:00 am@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-6:
For sure…. need a totally new attitude….or should I say, revert back to the old Auckland Blues attitude of ….never accept a loss.

Justice finally for reputations besmirched
On an emotional day, the prime minister's apology to Liverpool was gracefully accepted, writes MARK HENNESSY,London Editor
LABOUR MP Alison McGovern was just eight years old when 96 Liverpool fans died at Hillsborough. Yesterday, in the House of Commons, she shed tears for the dead, whose reputations had been besmirched.
"No words in the English language are good enough to describe the dignity, grace and courage shown by the families of the 96 loved ones we lost at Hillsborough," said the Wirral South MP, emotions raw.
Prime minister David Cameron has handled such occasions before, most notably the Bloody Sunday report when he was cheered by nationalists inside and outside Derry's Guildhall.
He followed the same course as he did then. He apologised to the bereaved and the city, paid tribute to police and emergency staff for their daily contribution to British life, and expressed astonishment at the mistakes made in Sheffield and the subsequent cover-up.
Liverpool is a Labour city, so Cameron was not cheered, but the apology was accepted with grace – on condition that the report is a springboard for a new inquest to replace the one that declared nothing could have been done for the victims after 3.15pm on April 15th, 1989.
Following an examination of 450,000 pages of documents by an independent inquiry led by the Bishop of Liverpool, Rt Rev James Jones, it is now clear that more could have been, since dozens were still alive at that time, even if badly injured.
Up to yesterday, those who were bereaved had blamed the police and an antiquated football ground for the disaster, caused when the stadium's Leppings Lane terrace was "visibly overcrowded" with some of the 50,000 fans present that day.
However, the report outlines the culpability of the emergency services also: "Not only was there delay in recognising that there were mass casualties, the major incident plan was not correctly activated and only limited parts were then put into effect." Despite all of the investigations up to now, the emergency service's role had never been fully examined "because of the assumption that the outcome for those who died was irretrievably fixed long before they could have been helped".
Instead, the postmortem reports show that some could have been saved: 28 did not have obstruction of blood circulation, and 31 had evidence of heart and lungs continuing to function after the crush.
"This means that individuals in those groups could have had potentially reversible asphyxia beyond 3.15pm, in contrast to the findings of the coroner and a subsequent Judicial Review," the report said, vindicating a 23-year campaign.
Families had gathered in Liverpool from early morning for an advance sight of the report – three people fainted as they leafed through the 400 pages, said campaigner Trevor Hicks, who lost two daughters in the tragedy.
Now, the families want justice. The Sun's allegations that fans were drunk and that survivors had stolen from, and urinated upon the dead and dying, had not just been manufactured by a tabloid press hungry for headlines. If anything it was worse. Sheffield police, in an attempt to deflect the blame and cover up their own flawed response to the disaster, repeatedly briefed a local news agency – and passed on sworn statements from officers at the scene – that Liverpool fans were "predominantly ticketless, drunk, aggressive and determined to force entry".

My latest Ram
I bought an 09 Ram when I sold my 05 to my son-in-law. Now, mind you I loved that truck and would still be driving it if not for that. The 09 is fantastic. It is very comfortable and so quiet. The ride is great. 24 MPG HWY! The 4.7 V8 has so much power and pulls so well. I am indeed a RAM fan to the fullest. I would put this truck against any truck out there, and it would win!
A long way to go...
I was looking to purchase a new truck I was looking at a F150 then I looked at a 09 Ram 1500 crew TRX I was inpressed with the ride looks and feel so i purchased it, it was great untill it hit 13k miles and the troubles and yes troubles started the dealers and i mean dealers, could not repair it right and one Bhuler Dodge in Eatontown NJ would not work on it after they saw the mess, I contacted Chrysler talked to two people and they didn't care they told me that they can't make a dealer repair m…
I love my Ram
I've been a Ram driver going on 15 years now. I just bought a 2009 single cab that has a bigger cabin than most extended cabs of other makes. It drives like a dream. I took a friend to lunch last month who is lifelong Ford F150 driver, and has even laughed at my loyalty to Dodge Ram. He was extremely impressed by the interior and the feel of the ride. 2 weeks ago, he traded his F150 for a Ram.
Awsome truck
Puchased Feb 09 - crew cab w/hemi.This truck is awsome in every way. Have managed as high as 22 mpg, but average 20 highway & 15 city. 2 WD. It is a shame that Dodge came out with this redesign during this bad economy as I think they would be selling like hotcakes if the economy was good.

Java Dawg owner Chris Keesecker purchased a 1979 double-decker Bristol bus on eBay seven months ago. Originally used in London and Chicago for sightseeing, the bus will serve as a mobile cafe for Java Dawg's coffee, fruit smoothies, espresso, cappuccino and more every Saturday at the Downtown Sarasota Farmer's Market, where it made its debut Aug. 29, at the corner of State Street and Lemon Avenue.
Keesecker has been roasting coffee in Sarasota for 17 years and has taken a concession cart (for Latitudes 23.5 coffee) to the farmer's market every week.
The new vehicle is a much bigger, bolder cafe than the one Keesecker has used in the past. A team of his friends and associates has been working tirelessly to gut, retrofit and paint it for the past seven months.
Customers may place orders at the window or inside the bus on the first floor and sip drinks beneath a shady umbrella on the second story, while viewing the farmer's market from the roof top.
"Java Dawg is the name for our new brand of coffee, a private-label venture from Latitudes 23.5 coffee," said Jay Davis, marketing director for Java Dawg. "We hope everybody loves it."
After seeing this innovative way to sip and savor Saturday morning java, we had to ask: Does coffee taste better inside Java Dawg's two-story bus?
Dagyn Tow, who was drinking Gatorade instead of coffee.
"Yes, I love heights."
Jack Windle
"Its great! They always have excellent coffee. Very nice."
Barney Salmon
"Java Dawg's coffee is the best. This is great because it's shady."
Roy Hakes
"It's great! There's a tiny bit more breeze up here, so we'll take it. Yep."

Anyone know if these keyboards can be paired with smartphones to alleviate sore thumbs?
nope they only elleviate sore hair.
you can chop your carrots with this. it's pretty sharp.
dang. wonder how much a new one costs..
it would be sweet if it could be paired with iphone/ipod touch.
Does anyone know if this will work with a Windows pc?

I really like these keyboards. Ended up picking up the wired version too. Works as a normal keyboard with a few annoying exceptions. It doesn't have an INS key, so if you somehow manage to get your app in insert mode it's a bitch to get back out. It's happened to me a few times in the year I've had it... so not a huge deal. The top function key row only works as function keys if you hold down the fn button, otherwise are treated as multimedia keys (work out of box on ubuntu). The SOB that put the eject key right above backspace needs to be beaten severely. Next to the model M it replaced, it's my second favorite keyboard.

Posted by Albert Fuchs, M.D.
Diversity of opinion is a mark of any free society. Whenever I hear the latest conspiracy theory, see a commercial for a ghost-investigating "reality" show, or hear the latest quack cure advertised on radio, I remind myself that the spread of wacky fringe ideas is a consequence of liberty. And, though I wish my fellow citizens would develop a bit of skepticism, I wouldn't want anyone preventing them from hearing, watching or believing all that nonsense.
So it's a major victory when facts finally win out in the court of public opinion—rare but sweet instances when science scatters away panic, rumor and superstition. This seems to be happening about vaccines. The fact that vaccines are very safe and that they save lives is gaining popular traction. This is very encouraging.
It means that people who believe that organic food has health benefits (it doesn't) or that vitamin C helps treat colds (it doesn't) are at least rejecting the fear-mongering of the anti-vaccine movement. A recent article in the Atlantic (link below) is another step in spreading the truth. It's not long. Please read it.
Of course, none of that matters because the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world in 2012. I better stock up on vitamin C.

The Premier League Can't Afford to Just Wait for Its Own Jason Collins
The ultimate encouragement for a player to come out, would probably be that there were sufficient other gay peers for it not to be such an issue, or at least enough to be able to offer support. As it stands, that day seems a long way off. If the Premier League is to wait for its own Jason Collins, it may be waiting a very long time.

Oxfam survey: Financial boycott pushes Palestinians into poverty and essential services to meltdown
A survey commissioned by international development agency Oxfam International and released today, highlights how the suspension of Western aid and Israel's refusal to transfer money owed to the Palestinian Authority (PA) has led to grave humanitarian consequences for Palestinians.
The survey by the Palestinian Centre for Public Opinion (PCPO) found that more than four out of five of the 677 families interviewed have seen a drop in their income following the year long boycott of the Palestinian Authority. Half of all the families reported losing more than half their income.
The PCPO also interviewed 67 senior managers running schools, hospitals and water services across the West Bank and Gaza. Nine out of ten managers said that services had been negatively affected by this boycott. Half of the essential service managers reported that they have cut their vital services by 50 per cent or more because of insufficient funding.
Palestinians had already been struggling to make ends meet when key Western donors including the US, EU and Canada suspended direct aid to the Palestinian government in April 2006. The move came in response to the victory of Hamas in parliamentary elections. Israel halted tax and customs revenue transfers it owed to the PA shortly afterwards.
Western donors argued that their goal was to change the policies of the Hamas-led government, not to punish the Palestinian people. However, Oxfam's survey shows that the financial boycott has had a devastating impact on civilians.
"International aid should be provided impartially on the basis of need,not as a political tool to change the policies of a government," said Oxfam International Executive Director Jeremy Hobbs. "Oxfam opposes violence against civilians and supports Israel's right to exist alongside a viable and independent Palestinian state. But suspending aid – and withholding tax revenue in violation of international agreements – is not an ethical or effective way to achieve these outcomes. And in this case, it hasn't worked. Instead, parents have been driven into debt, children taken out of classrooms and whole families deprived of access to medicine and healthcare," added Hobbs.
The best efforts of the European Union to continue helping Palestinians civilians by making direct payments to many government workers and welfarerecipients, has failed to prevent spiralling poverty which has increased by 30 per cent in 2006 according to the UN.
"Europe's foreign ministers should not miss the opportunity of their forthcoming meeting to restore the faith of Palestinians in the European Union," Hobbs added. "Despite welcoming the National Unity Government, the European Union has failed to restore aid payments. With Palestinian institutions collapsing and insecurity growing, the resumption of international aid to the Palestinian Authority is a necessary step to preventing further suffering and securing a just and lasting settlement on the basis of international law," Hobbs said.

These days we're used to seeing Katie Holmes looking super casual while running around New York City with Suri, however that wasn't the case at the 12-12-12: A Concert for Sandy Relief at NYC's Madison Square Garden, where she seemed to turn it up a notch, fashion-wise.
The Dead Accounts star showed up on the red carpet wearing a form-fitting blue velvet dress by Tom Ford with revealing panels and "Padlock" pumps by Ford, as well.
And while we're still deciding whether or not we love her look, we do have to give her props for stepping up her fashion game.
So, what do you think of her head-to-toe red carpet outfit?

Maybe I have avoided the topic, as it seems too much to explain..
We as people usually do that when shit takes too long to explain..
I started working at Corona Village in Laramie,Wy when I was 15 years old...
I stayed there untill I was 20...
Met my prometido there..
Met people that I consider family..
and then here I am 24 years old.. and guess what..
We move to Idaho to help El Pio Pio with the Corona Village Resturant here..
It's my bfs dream..
So I will always be apart of it..
My favorite memories though were when I was apart of the enviroment..
So I figured I'd start blogging more about my experiences.
Here are a few quick ten things I've learned working at a Mexican resturant, I'm sure anyone who has worked in one can relate to this.
#1. Songs Get Played Out Fast
If you've never had a fellow amigo scream "MAMA MECHON PRENDAME..MECHON PRENDER" in your ear so often that at night you would wake up screaming and sweating with an echoing of the lyrics than you have probably never worked in a Mexican Resturant. Our cooks were always listening to music in the kitchen and some songs or artist they would play the whole day and night. Before El Mechon it was the "fine fine fine... very good very good very good" song by Julion Alvarez that actually helped many of them learn english.
#2. Valentin Elizalde is the best singer alive
Okay not really but the year Valentin Elizalde died I was 16 and I swear we listened to his music for a year straight. I instantly became a fan... even still today... I cant get the tune out of my head..."como me duele...como me duele...como me duele ke te sacan a bailar..." Aussshhhh D.E.P Valentin!!!
#3. They are all married
Yes mujeres...
All them sons a bitches are married...(in my redneck voice)
or juntado... or have someone in mexico with ten kids.
Believe me I met men in the kitchen who I saw acted like solteros..
than brought their wives over years later,
then walked around with the guilty.."im a POS" looking on their face.
Happened to my friend Heather.. #pobrecita
#4. El Patron is around every corner..
No really my old boss..
I still whisper his name and get sweaty palms when i think about him..
Is literally around ever corner...
So always act like he's there.
Cause he's always lurking around the corners and you better be working your ass off.
One time he had me crying..
okay plenty of time he had most people crying..
But I still respect the man as I would my own father.
#5. Love Will Blossom
No joke..
Where there are a bunch of Latinos hanging out.. love will blossom..
I was gonna brainstorm various couples that I know met through the resturant but unfortuantely there exists too many triangles (re-read the their all married part)..
And well I don't want to be the cause of divorces should someone google my name and find this post lol
Idk why but all these people never heard of "Don't make work your playground"
Apparently I never got the memo either..
Here we are two kids later =D
#6. The Drama is equivalent to telenovelas
--or maybe worse.
When I was a server I constantly had to switch sides at the resturant,
the front dinning room or the back...
Each side had a different bus person that only bussed that side..
The bussers would get pissed off at the servers or the other bussers..
this was one reason behind the drama..
Then everyone was fucking family..
or related in some way...
They'd fights at our nightly games of baraja..
... drinking..
I mean their was an open window for drama..
the list of who hates who was endless...
And some of the rumours got pretty intense...
#7 Living Conditions are no bueno
Almost all our kitchen staff lived together..
...no lie..
At one time when i'd go visit Javier there were only three bedrooms.
...and more than double living there..
Generally it was a nasty fucking pig sty--
Eventually they moved and instead took over an entire complex..
There were these two white complexes with four apartments each building..
So that's a total of eight all rented out by Corona Villagers..
However someone made up a rumour about La Immigra going to investigate and they decided to take over the trailor park instead.
#8. Everyone has 10 names..
okay maybe not ten but they would invent a shit load of nicknames for each other..
...some that just seemed dumb...
Here is a quick brainstorm of some i remember..
..Dont mind my spelling..
"Guicho, Bicho, Chino, Tilapia, Pechon, Paisa, Tito, Tigre, Compeita, Toluco, Terror.."
The list goes on and on..but this is what I can remember at the moment.
#9. The Slang is not universal
At our resturant in Laramie the kitchen staff and servers always made up different slang phrases or words..
Which I had no idea were not universal...
like "Chupale Pechon"
Which theyd say as like "Go get em!"
Well other people thought you were some sick pervert for saying this.
Not that I blurted it at a dance to my comadre as she went out to dance with some hot guy..
or anything..
#10 Everydays a baile
No really we would get together in the little complexes I talk of and have bailes..
On a Monday, or a Tuesday..whenever we felt like it..
In the summer and even once while it was raining.. we would have carne asadas and get together and drink and relieve ourselves from some of the stress from every days.
These are only 10 of many things I've learned working at a Mexican resturant... only a fraction of the many memories i have made with great people. I hope to blog more about these memories as I cherish them and consider this part of my life one of the most important stepping stones. I met friends that became family through this place and found my one true love. (okay thats a as fucking sappy as hell but u get it!)

Treasuries moved notably higher over the course of the trading day on Wednesday after ending the two previous sessions nearly flat.
Bond prices showed a strong upward move in early trading and saw further upside following the release of the minutes of the latest Federal Reserve meeting. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, fell by 8.6 basis points to 1.719 percent.
The early strength among treasuries was partly due to the release of some troubling economic news from overseas, with a report from Japan showing that the country swung to a trade deficit in July.
The report from the Japanese Finance Ministry showed a trade deficit of 517.4 billion yen in July compared to a trade surplus of 60.3 billion yen in June. Japanese exports fell 8.1 percent year-over-year, while imports rose 2.1 percent.
Weakness among stocks also contributed to the appeal of treasuries, with a negative reaction to quarterly results from PC giant Dell (DELL) weighing on Wall Street.
Treasuries saw further upside following the release of the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting, which suggested that the central bank is losing patience with the pace of the fragile U.S. economic recovery
Many members of the Federal Reserve said additional monetary policy accommodation is likely warranted unless the economy improves substantial, potentially opening the door for another round of quantitative easing measures at the next meeting in September.
Meanwhile, bond traders largely shrugged off the release of a report from the National Association of Realtors showing a notable increase in existing home sales in the month of July.
NAR said existing home sales rose 2.3 percent to an annual rate of 4.47 million in July from 4.37 million in June. Economists had been expecting existing home sales to climb to an annual rate of 4.50 million.
Nonetheless, key U.S. economic data may attract some attention on Thursday, with traders likely to keep an eye on reports on weekly jobless claims and new home sales.
The Treasury Department is also scheduled to announce the details of next week's auctions of two-year, five-year, and seven-year notes.

"Only my family knows me and the rest, are just stupid."
In such a small town as Tala Springs, there is always a girl guys wants and girls envy, that girl who has everything: the looks, the brain, the family and the money. In this case, aside from the money, this girl is Jane. Her and her older sister Isabelle fit the description but Jane, despite her innocent smile, is the most intelligent person you're most likely to ever meet in your life. She also happens to be very mean, a total bitch, if she feels like being one. She's pretty moody but in general, a very happy girl, the kind of person who is able to light up a room with her smile, or just walking in. Jane usually pretends to be a very innocent girl to make people do whatever she wants. People who know her, such as her family, are fully aware of that and never let her fool them. She doesn't do it on purpose, well, she does, what she never expects is people to react that way and do whatever she asks them to. It always amuses her.
Jane is very playful and as if she were still a pup, loves having fake fights with the rest of the members of the pack, but the only ones that usually agree are her cousins Emily, her half-brother Alec and secretly, sometimes even Johnny. The rest of the pack simply feels annoyed by her childish behavior. Some people in town even think she's a bit stupid because of her constant giggling, what they don't know is that she's the one making fun of them and very few know how, not wanting to actually leave Tala Springs, she's studying biology and medicine at Princeton University. However, managing to get a medical certification, she studies at home and only heads out to the university to take some exams, getting the maximum grade every single time. Jane is the aspiring new doctor of the pack, something that has been her dream ever since she was a pup. She really wants to help the members of the pack and this is her way of contributing to its wellbeing.
Her relationship towards her family is very simple, she's completely oblivious to the internal problems within the pack and this includes Matt, Alec and Johnny's constant fights. It's not because she doesn't want to see it, she has simply chosen to ignore it completely. Jane has very strong opinions on things; for instance, as she's trying to figure out a way to 'cure' Matthew and take him back to his original wolf form without any pain, she thinks he's very stupid for wasting their gift. She's one of the few graced animals that have firm beliefs on the existence of Brother Moon and Sister Sun and she worships them like the gods they are. She respects them more than anything else. As for Johnny and Alec, as much as she loves her half brother, she thinks they are both being stupid, especially Johnny for provoking Alec, knowing that he can't really control his temper at times and that he's very sensitive over the subject of his birth and life prior to arriving to Tala Springs. Besides her being very opinionated and deciding to ignore her family when according to her they are 'being stupid' she loves them dearly and just like Isabelle, she would do anything to protect not only her pack but the graced animals. Proof that unlike Isabelle, Jane accepted Alec from the very first moment, in fact, she was happy to have a younger brother who was so close to her in age.

The year is 1987. Progressive horror author Clive Barker was nearing completion on his first feature as director, the cruel parable of cancerous, sado-masochistic love called HELLRAISER. Barker had enlisted underground Industrial duo Coil to provide a suitably sludgy and grinding musical accompaniment to his dark romance, but Coil soon called off their efforts over what was reportedly a mutual decision with Barker.
The story goes that producer
Christopher Figg and Editor Tony Randel (who would go on to direct the sequel to
HELLRAISER himself, re-hiring Young for scoring duties to boot) would urge
Barker to consider rising composer Christopher Young (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
2: FREDDY'S REVENGE) for the assignment. Young's resulting score is often
described as a return to a 'traditional' style of horror music, and its lush
textures and full-bodied orchestral sound are precisely what differentiate it
and lift it to prominence when set amongst the vast majority of eighties'
horror film music—take that to mean cheap, thin synth lines tooting and
undulating away in the background of any number of budget-constricted fright
flicks. With HELLRAISER, Young's bold and sumptuous themes brought aural scope
and majesty back to scary little movies and managed to drape Barker's small,
intimate film in velvet finery (Coil's abandoned music has since been released
on disc as a curio, and turned out to be an interesting but simplistic effort
that underscores the fact that Barker did indeed trade up by going with Young).
This month, Young's HELLRAISER and HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II scores have been re-issued as a two-disc set from the Buysoundtrax.com label. All of the music that comprises this set has been released previously on other labels, although those discs have been out-of-print for ages and can be about as difficult to track down as a certain lacquered puzzle box. What this double album may lack in fresh, expanded or alternate cues, it makes up for in sheer dollar value as its price is that of a typical single score album. There is a lengthy new essay by writer Randall Larson included with the liner notes featuring a critical description of the two scores and their origins, as well as a few scattered interview snippets with Young.
Another benefit of employing orchestral over synth scores is that the former usually weathers age much better than the latter; such is most definitely the case when examining Young's HELLRAISER work twenty-five years later. The remaster is lovely and clear, and favorite passages sound fantastic, especially with what must be the series' most memorable cue—the evil, skewed waltz of 'Resurrection'. Other highlights have to be the dissonant, metallic gonging and tinkling chimes in "The Lament Configuration", and the chimes returning as a backwards-tape smear and leading into chugging percussion and brass (here veering awfully close to James Horner's score for ALIENS) during "Seduction and Pursuit". Also tasty is the despair and doom in "The Cenobites"; this sort of opaque, miserable atonality being Young's sonic representation of hell (and the music which he's most proud to have created, according to the liner notes).
Young's HELLBOUND comes with a wider sense of experimentation. Along with expected reprising and adjusting of themes from the first score, there are some truly freaky detours. Take the comically twisted carnival calliope and tuba in "Hall of Mirrors," or the brief spate of tribal rhythms and pulsing drum break in the cue "Looking Through a Woman." HELLBOUND's opening theme is grander but no improvement, as the addition of a soaring chorale and thundering tympani tipping things over the border and into the realm of Too Much. As a listening experience divorced from the films, the original's tighter focus and memorable melodies definitely beat HELLBOUND's weirder, more expansive digressions.
To fans who happen to own any of the older HELLRAISER albums, there honestly isn't much impetus to upgrade with the buysoundtrax set. For everyone else, this release is a bargain and a great excuse to finally own two classic and seriously influential scores on disc. One more thing: the set is limited to two thousand copies. If you miss out, please refrain from crying onto your keyboard—as a certain pin-adorned, paleface gentleman once opined, that's a waste of good suffering.

STATE auditors called the attention of the Municipal Government of San Fernando for the alleged misuse of the town's 20 percent development fund and Special Education Fund (SEF).
Commission on Audit (COA) state auditor 4 Herma Sebial noted in her audit report on San Fernando's 2011 accounts that about P9.4 million of the southern Cebu town's development fund—which accounts for 20 percent of its share of the National Government's Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA)—was used for maintenance and other operating expenses and capital expenditures.
They were instead used for payment of maintenance and other operating expenses and capital expenditures, which violates Section 287 of Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code, and a joint circular of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Department of Budget Management (DBM).
The circular states that projects to be funded by the 20 percent development fund are the construction or rehabilitation of evacuation centers; potable water supply system; local roads and bridges; sanitary landfills; and materials recovery facilities.
It can also be used to fund the building of multipurpose halls; purchase or repair of area-wide calamity-related alarm or warning system and appropriate rescue operations equipment; and purchase and develop land for relocation of victims of calamities.
This, Sebial wrote, deprived town residents of projects that were supposed to be funded by the development fund.
San Fernando allotted a total of P12.9 million of its IRA to the development fund for 2011.
State auditors also discovered that the productivity incentives of elementary and secondary public school teachers—amounting to about P413,000—were charged to the SEF.
This, they said, violated a 1998 joint circular of the Department of Education (Department of Education, Culture and Sports then), DBM and DILG, which states that the SEF can only be used for the operation and maintenance of public schools—which includes the organization and extension of non-formal, remedial and summer classes—and as payment of existing allowances of teachers.
"While the (incentive) per se may not be illegal, these allowances must not be charged against the SEF, but may be charged to the General Fund whenever authorized," the COA report read.
COA auditors recommended that town officials adhere to laws and regulations pertaining to the use of public funds, such as the development fund and SEF.
San Fernando Mayor Antonio Canoy told Sun.Star Cebu that the local government will adopt the recommendations of COA. He added that his office recently received the COA report.

UW Men's Golf Faces First Road Test
Oct. 7, 2011 La QUINTA, Calif. - After starting the season with a win at the Kikkor Golf Husky Invitational on Gold Mountain's Olympic Course in Bremerton, the Husky men's golf team's next task will be heading down south to take on yet another field of top collegiate golfers.

Williams will be looking to etch his name in the UW record books as the solo leader for career wins after he tied Brock Mackenzie and Nick Taylor with four wins last time out. The Huskies have won this tournament once, back in 2001. They ended up -20 that week and Mackenzie shared medalist honors at 13-under. Tournament starting times will be based on a shotgun start format. Play will begin on 12:30 p.m. Sunday and Monday and at 7:30am on Tuesday. The Greg Norman Course at PGA West is a par 72, 7,156-yard course and has played host to previous events such as the 2010 and 2011 Golf Channel Senior National Championship as well as the Intercollegiate Invitational. Live scoring for the tournament will be available at Golfstat.com. Please return to GoHuskies.com following each day for recaps and results of all the action. |
