Name: Thomas G. Ciulla*
Age: 43
Address: 375 Merrimack St., Unit 16
Occupation: Everett Public School custodian
Education: University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Class of 1993, Bachelor of Science
Personal: Married in 2007 to Lilian Dominguez Ciulla.
Why should people vote for you?
I have served as a Everett City Councillor for over four terms, eight and a half years. I was also an Everett Code Enforcement Health Inspector. I cleaned hundreds of properties in Everett. My knowledge of how things get done at City Hall benefits my constituents.
What's the biggest issue facing your district? Why?
My biggest issue I feel facing my district is to attract quality business and grow our residential tax base without comprising the quality of life for our residents. Also to clean up blighted commercial and residential properties.
What specific aspect of city government will you work to improve?
I will work to improve the Health Department and bring new code enforcement technology to have them effectively fine owners who do not maintain their properties. I have meet with the mayor multiple times to make this happen. I am still waiting for his response.
Which, if any, city services should be privatized? Why or why not?
I voted to privatize the IT Department and would vote the same way again. We need study to see not only if it's cost effective to privatize, but if service and quality of life issues suffer, then we should not move forward.
How would you rate the current council's performance? How would you improve it?
The Methuen City Council did some great things this year, passing a meals tax and increasing our ambulance fees, which ultimately offsets the tax rate. We also made the necessary cuts to our budget to streamline our government, including cutting the Health Director. Don't be fooled; that's why we lost our grant.
Name: Ron Marsan*
Age: 53
Address: 10 Hawkes Brook Lane
Occupation: Contractor
Education: Graduated Greater Lawrence Vocational High School, Carpentry Department
Personal: Small business owner for 30-plus years; married 33 years to DiAnne; two children, Jonathan (carpenter, 30) married to Shawna (Certified Nursing Assistant, 25), expecting their first child early 2014, and Sabrina (middle school teacher, 29).
Why should people vote for you?
Vote for me if you want your councilor to be honest, hard working, fiscally responsible, accessible to you and to keep his word. For the last two years, I have demonstrated these qualities and will continue to into the next term.
What's the biggest issue facing your district? Why?
I believe a big issue that we have in the East District is how we balance the need to increase our commercial tax base with the existing residential community. It's important that we keep in mind the quality of life for our citizens, while also bringing in new businesses that help stabilize our tax rate.
What specific aspect of city government will you work to improve?
I will work to improve the communication between the whole city council and the mayor. We all need to work better together to solve the issues. While we may not always have the same opinions, we need to come together for the betterment of the city.
Which, if any, city services should be privatized? Why or why not?
Privatization should be looked at for every service the city provides, so long as the residents benefit from a substantial savings. The IT Department is an example of where privatization would work. On the other hand, the solicitor position has not proven to be the great financial gain that was expected.
How would you rate the current council's performance? How would you improve it?
The current City Council should be rated average. I'm sure we all feel that we make our decisions in the best interest of the city. We represent our citizens and must continue to make sure that we truly are their voices.
Name: Thomas Firth III
Age: 64
Address: One Currier Street
Occupation: Mortgage banker
Education: Chelmsford High School; Merrimack College, advanced web design and management
Personal: Eight years elected as School Committee member, one year as Chairman; 10 years Zoning Board of Appeals, served as Chairman; 11 years Cable TV Advisory Board; helped found MCTV; President of Timony PTO, Barker PTO; Coached Little League Baseball, Pop Warner Football and YMCA and Methuen Youth Basketball; member of the YMCA Board of Managers for 10 years. Enjoys golf, fantasy football, and our beloved Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics.
Why should people vote for you?
Experience. I have 40 years of helping the city grow. The people of this community make it so great. Methuen needs dedicated people to serve, and my record in government and the private sector and working with kids give me the balance needed to make Methuen a better run city.
What's the biggest issue facing your district? Why?
Public Safety. Howe Street has development at Merrimack Golf Course and the City Council just approved Emerald Pines. How will this impact schools? Additional Fire and Police? We need to work to find monies in the budget to lease or purchase new vehicles. The East End has many new homes. We need to protect and the older neighborhoods.
What specific aspect of city government will you work to improve?
Work on the budget. We pay for cell phones and we need to stop this practice. Employees do not need to take a car home. They should use their own vehicles and cell phones. We can cut supplies, go paperless using storage on networks and drives and secure that information. Team effort!
Which, if any, city services should be privatized? Why or why not?
Hopefully none, but there needs to be accountability. Most companies may look good in the beginning, but then increase costs and force the city to pay or rehire employees again. Where do all the old employees go? They stay employed. No savings! Custodians, mayoral staff etc.
How would you rate the current council's performance? How would you improve it?
I would rate the majority good with a few taking items out of context. One of the current councilors, Mr. Ciulla, likes to deal with single issues, also berating other council members' families in the process. Teamwork between the mayor and council is critical. Be professional and communicate with taxpayers.

by Bill Johnston Witold GombrowiczA balloonist finds himself set upon by erotic lepers...a passenger on a ship notices a human eye on the deck...a group of aristocrats enjoy a vegetarian dish made from human flesh...a virginal young girl gnaws raw meat from a bone...a notorious ruffian is terrorized by a rat. Welcome to the bizarre universe of Witold Gombrowicz, whose legendary short story collection is presented here for the first time in English. These tales, hilarious, disturbing, and brilliantly written, are utterly unique in world literature. After reading them, you'll never be the same.
Dreams and Stones
by Magdalena Tulli Bill JohnstonDreams and Stones is a small masterpiece, one of the most extraordinary works of literature to come out of Central and Eastern Europe since the fall of communism. In sculpted, poetic prose reminiscent of Bruno Schulz, it tells the story of the emergence of a great city. In Tulli's hands myth, metaphor, history, and narrative are combined to magical effect. Dreams and Stones is about the growth of a city, and also about all cities; at the same time it is not about cities at all, but about how worlds are created, trans- formed, and lost through words alone. A stunning debut by one of Europe's finest new writers.
by Bill Johnston Magdalena TulliA single streetcar line runs around the sleepy suburban square of an unnamed city. One day--out of nowhere--a group of hapless refugees pour from the streetcar and set up camp in the square. The residents grow hostile to the disruption and chaos, and eventually take matters into their own hands... Flaw is Tulli's most intense and personally motivated work to date, while still retaining the signature mind-and word-play so admired by critics and her growing readership.
In Red
by Magdalena Tulli Bill JohnstonBy the Ko?cielski Prize-winning author of Dream and Stones, In Red is the gripping cautionary tale in which real and unreal combine explosively, making us question the nature of the work itself. Set in an imaginary fourth partition of Poland, In Red retraces the turbulent history of the twentieth century in a labyrinth of greed, inheritance, and entropy, enacting--word by tremulous word--the claustrophobia of a small town from which there seems to be no escape. Never have Tulli¢s trademark precision of language and her crystalline storytelling been put to such brilliant use.
Moving Parts
by Magdelena Tulli Bill JohnstonInMoving Partsa feckless, comical narrator struggles against all odds to tell a story for which he is responsible, but which he neither controls nor understands. His characters multiply, repeat, and go astray; his employer is paying no attention, asleep in a drunken stupor. The increasingly desperate narrator clambers over rooftops and through underground passages, watching helplessly as his characters reappear in different times and settings and start rival stories against his will. This thought-provoking, wryly humorous work from the acclaimed author ofDreams and Stonestells of the sadness of the world and of the inadequate means that language and storytelling offer us for describing and understanding it. Yet it does so in Tulli's characteristically clear, concrete, gorgeous prose, and, as withDreams and Stones, the book is a delight to read. This extraordinary work, utterly unique both in its form and its message, shows a European master at the height of her powers and constitutes a major contribution to a new century of European literature. Moving Partswas shortlisted for the 2004 Nike Prize, Poland's most prestigious literary award. W. S. Merwin claims, "The originality of Tulli's writing is not lessened by representing a family tree that includes Michaud, Kafka, Calvino, and Saramago. "
Polish Memories
by Witold Gombrowicz Bill JohnstonAlthough Witold Gombrowicz's unique, idiosyncratic writings include a three-volume Diary, this voluminous document offers few facts about his early life in Poland before his books were banned there and he went into voluntary exile. Polish Memories-a series of autobiographical sketches Gombrowicz composed for Radio Free Europe during his years in Argentina in the late 1950s-fills the gap in our knowledge.Written in a straightforward way without his famous linguistic inventions, the book presents an engaging account of Gombrowicz's childhood, youth, literary beginnings, and fellow writers in interwar Poland and reveals how these experiences and individuals shaped his seemingly outlandish concepts about the self, culture, art, and society. In addition, the book helps readers understand the numerous autobiographical allusions in his fiction and brings a new level of understanding and appreciation to his life and work.
Stone Upon Stone
by Bill Johnston Wieslaw MysliwskiA masterpiece of postwar Polish literature, Stone Upon Stone is Wies?aw My?liwski¢s grand epic in The rural tradition -- a profound and irreverent stream of memory cutting through the rich and varied terrain of one man's connection to the land, to his family and community, to women, to tradition, to God, to death, and to what it means to be alive. Wise and impetuous, plainspoken and compassionate Szymek, recalls his youth in their village, his time as a guerrilla soldier, as a wedding official, barber, policeman, lover, drinker, and caretaker for his invalid brother. Filled with interwoven stories and voices, by turns hilarious and moving, Szymek's narrative exudes the profound wisdom of one who has suffered, yet who loves life to the very core.
A Treatise on Shelling Beans
by Bill Johnston Wieslaw MysliwskiOur hero and narrator is the ageing caretaker of cottages at a summer resort. A mysterious visitor inspires him to share the story of his long life: we witness a happy childhood cut short by the war, his hiding from the Nazis buried in a heap of potatoes, his plodding attempts to play the saxophone, the brutal murder of his family, loves lost but remembered, and footloose travels abroad. Told in the manner of friends and neighbors swapping stories over the mundane task of shelling beans--in the grand oral tradition of Myśliwski's celebratedStone Upon Stone--each anecdote, lived experience, and memory accrues cross-stitched layers of meaning. By turns hilarious and poignant, A Treatise on Shelling Beans is an epic recounting of a life that, while universal, is anything but ordinary.

QPR manager
Neil Warnock has told
Adel Taarabt he is free to leave the club in January.
Taarabt has been linked with a move away from Loftus Road ever since Rangers were promoted to the top-flight in the summer.
The playmaker appeared to fuel the flames while on duty with Morocco this week, with reports suggesting he told the media in his homeland he wanted to leave QPR in January for financial reasons.
It comes after Taarabt left Craven Cottage at half-time when he was substituted during QPR's last Premier League match before the international break at Fulham, which they lost 6-0.
Warnock has taken the comments 'with a pinch of salt' but admitted Taarabt, like the rest of his squad, was free to leave if he wished. Speaking ahead of tomorrow's game with Blackburn at Loftus Road, he said: 'He has not said anything to me.
'It is only six weeks since he said he would never play for his country again. That's Adel. You take everything with a pinch of a salt.
'My message is the same with every player at the club. If a player wants to leave, he can leave. I've never had a problem with that.
'But for all the talk of the offers we had, I never saw an allegedly massive offer from Paris St-Germain. I think it is just in his court, really. If he wants the move he allegedly has talked about, the best way of doing that is playing well.'

New Evidence Connects Stonehenge to Wales
by Heather Bond | January, 2012
Geologists recently discovered that the inner stone rings of Stonehenge match those of an outcrop in Wales.
The other stones were most likely quarried 20-30 miles away from the current site, but a mystery still remains. How did the inner stones travel 160 miles from Wales to England?
The geologists believe that one of two theories can explain the move—humans moving the stones, or glacial movement. Further information on the geological findings can be found here.

Tennis Superstar Novak Djokovic wears Façonnable
During the successful fundraising event for Japan hosted with GR8 Miami
MIAMI – March 28, 2011 – Responding to the tragic events unfolding in Japan, ATP World Tour #2 Singles Player Novak Djokovic teamed with GR8 Miami to hold a fundraising event on Wednesday, March 23rd, during the first week of the Sony Ericsson Open. The event, which was attended by more than 200 supporters, was preceded by a charity soccer match putting Djokovic and other ATP tennis stars against local pro soccer team, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. Together the two events raised around $90,000 for Japan relief.
The exclusive after-party, held at the new JW Marriott Marquis, featured fundraising opportunities including a silent auction and donations to the Red Cross Japan disaster relief effort. Also on hand at the event to show support for his homeland was Japan's Kei Nishikori, who has been actively raising funds through his own online auction. The hugely successful event was organized and sponsored by GR8 Miami, a new luxury concierge and event planning company.
"I want to thank everyone who made the charity event for Japan here in Miami a big success. The soccer match was great and the charity dinner afterwards could not have been any better," said Novak Djokovic. "The JW Marriott Marquis did an amazing job and donating that dinner to all those guests was a very significant donation of over $30,000. On the other hand GR8 Miami put up a great event and they proved that in Miami they are the ones to contact for luxury concierge matters. And in the end, the important thing is the amount raised in order to help people in Japan through the Red Cross. Once again thanks for everything to this great team."
Remarking its unique role in the luxury menswear with its "modern-classic" signature, Façonnable continues to strengthen its presence within the tennis world which is traditionally marked by the long-time Monte-Carlo Tennis Tournament sponsorship.

Review of Argentine football
After an intense summer season looming resumption of the first and second division of Argentine football, but before this happens we are two games to close the preseason and will have to speak in South America and the world: River – Boca, Boca – River, the usual two super classics that are always played in the summer break, but this year will have something special: Boca comes from being open tournament champion 2011 with a solid performance, however River, is trying to climb back to the top flight known after hard fall in the middle of last year when he lost the promotion against Belgrano de Córdoba and decided the dark future of River would play in the National B (second division) for the first time in its history. The first of these shocks will be played on Wednesday January 25 in the province of Chaco (Argentina) and there are some controversies in the vicinity of Boca Juniors, the team that joined Xeneize Uruguayan striker Santiago Silva after a brief stint at Fiorentina , will be without him for the tournament in the First Division as the "tank" played in 2 teams in the same season (Velez and Fiorentina) and can not do it for Boca because the regulation states that a player can not play in three different teams in the same season and it became a special permit for the player to play only games of the Copa Libertadores of America. The problem is that the team led by Julio Cesar Falcioni believed in using Santiago Silva in these two games against their biggest rival for this impediment the coach of defending champion declared "Let's go to Chaco (to play with River) with the kids ", this led to talk among sports journalists in the region.
The second match between Boca Juniors River Plate will be the January 29, but this time they played in the Province of Mendoza (Argentina), this meeting is "revenge" of the previous game. Can River to surprise and beat the defending champion? Beyond football, these two games will be very attentive to the stands for the great reception that they will do both sets of fans to their teams, will certainly be a party.
Turning more to the preparation of stocks for the Clausura 2012, Boca was reinforced very well and seems to be the leading candidate to win the tournament again, beyond the appointed James Smith, the club could sign Ribera Paul Ledesma, the wheel that Italian football is more precisely of Catania, reinforces the midfield area and complete a great squad (Riquleme main figure) which is supposed to fight three tournaments: The American Libertadores Cup, the tournament and Closing Argentina cup (this cup was incorporated this year, is similar to the King's Cup) in that order of priority.
Very different is the intention River, being in second going to try to ascend to the first division and also the top seed, with large reinforcements, David Trezeguet, the Argentine-French attack is to make the millionaire club even stronger, and made its debut in the summer becoming a goal in the friendly tournament that the club won. He also made his presentation Leonardo Ponzio, recently took a step River but returned to help make the climb, the recent attempt Zaragoza player earn a spot on the team but will not have it easy.
Returning to the First Division there are several candidates: Velez Sarfierld have great seasons lately and it seems that this is not going to be an exception, the team led Gareca try to be at the top, brought two great players to supplant the Maxi Moralez low (Atalanta) and Santiago Silva (Fiorentina) held at the last minute in July 2011, six months after their replacements arrived, Federico Insua returning from football and Turkish striker Mauro Pence great seasons at Arsenal de Sarandi.
Another candidate is undoubtedly Estudiantes club that knew how to play the Club World Cup final against Barcelona in 2009, will attempt to return to the top after a very bad half-season remaining in the lowest places. It will be a special semester for "Pinchas", this is the last tournament he played his greatest idol: Juan Sebastian Veron, the player who was able to wear the shirt of Manchester United , Chelsea, Inter and others decided to end his career and already there is talk that will occupy a place in the Argentina. The La Plata club can also count for 6 months with the keeper Mariano Andujar (ex Catania).
If candidates can not leave out talking to teams of Avellaneda Racing Club and Independiente both attempt once more to reach the top, Racing have a great squad and decided not strengthened, but renewed the coaching staff after the departure of Simeone to Atletico Madrid came to supplant Alfio Basile. Independent comes from bad seasons and if reinforced, and striker Ernesto Farias brought each time you open the transfer market his name appears in several clubs, from the Cruzeiro of Brazil will try to contribute with several goals in the next tournament.
Finally talk about San Lorenzo, their reality is not the best and needs to recover as soon as this promotion positions, the "Ghost River" and fear is growing down, so try adding a good cushion of points and for that hired the Uruguayan forward Carlos Bueno that comes from doing more than 20 goals in Mexican football.
This is the reality of Argentine football, continue to update over time.

Wife LOVES it! I have always wondered if Bigger is better in the eyes of a women. I purchased this for my wife to try (I am an average 6.5") as I had a feeling that she may like the size. First try, it took a bit of lube and some patience, but once the head slipped in, she immediately had an orgasm. We kept working it farther, and 3 orgasms later, she accepted the entire length and I have NEVER seen her cum like that before! We now use it quite often with the same results. ALWAYS unbelievable orgasms multiple times. In addition to the size, she loves the vibe as well. Maybe bigger is better... Was this comment helpful?

Think outside the boxThere's nothing wrong with racking up the hours on a treadmill or elliptical trainer — unless you get bored and stop doing it. So why not jump-start a healthy lifestyle with one of these fun, kooky workouts? Not only are they entertaining enough to hook you and keep you coming back, they actually work. Bollywood dancingDid you see Shawn Johnson's incredible bhangra performance on Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars? If not, you should watch it — then go out to a Bollywood dance class and do a few of the same moves yourself. Don't worry, you won't be moving with quite the same intensity that had an Olympian out of breath, but you will have a chance to make like one of the backup dancers in Slumdog Millionaire's "Jai Ho." Hot HulaLet's get one thing straight: Going to a Hot Hula class to learn the actual hula is like going to Zumba to learn the actual salsa — it ain't gonna happen. What you will get, though, is a core-intensive, hula-esque cardio workout that'll tone your abs and slim you down so much that may have to buy new pants. Hidden bonus? It's low-impact, so if you live in an upstairs apartment or condo, your downstairs neighbor will never know you're shredding your midsection to a great Hot Hula DVD (as long as you keep the drumbeats under control). Roller derbyGranted, roller derby is a pretty rough and tumble sport, but it's also an incredible workout. It also creates some of the fiercest and most inclusive female camaraderie I've ever seen. (If you're not sure what's going on during a derby bout, check out this explanation of derby rules from Whip It.) Actually graduating from rookie to a full member of the team takes some work, so you're going to get fit and be surrounded by a solid derby family by the time you're done. And guess what? No matter what your size, there's a place for you. Irish dancingSome of the official Irish dancing schools will accept adults, so you've got a chance to get your Michael Flatley on at any age. As someone who did a year in one of those schools, I can promise you that they'll shred everything from the waist down, especially your calves, in no time. Competitive Irish dancing also requires a lot of intense practice, so if you'd like to preserve the element of spontaneity, look for ceilis or set dances in your area. These types of Irish folk dancing can be done for competition, but they're more often done to live music at social gatherings, just for the fun of it.

Leon Thal, M.D.
The Potamkin Prize, one of the nation's highest honors in neurosciences, will be awarded this year to Leon Thal, M.D., University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine and Roger Nitsch, M.D., Neuro Science Center, Zurich, Switzerland. The two will share the $100,000 prize awarded at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology April 27, 2004 in San Francisco.
"The Potamkin Prize has come to symbolize internationally the premier neuroscience prize for outstanding excellence in clinical or basic research on Alzheimer's disease and the related dementias," said Roger N. Rosenberg, M.D., former president of the American Academy of Neurology and chair of the Potamkin Prize Committee from 1988 to 1999. He added that it is considered by many to be the Nobel Prize in the field of Alzheimer's research.
Thal was selected in recognition of his "outstanding achievements in research of Alzheimer's and related neurodegenerative diseases," according to the American Academy of Neurology.
Chair of the UCSD Department of Neurosciences, Thal directs the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at UCSD and leads a national consortium of more than 80 centers called the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study, funded with a grant from the National Institute on Aging to test promising drugs for Alzheimer's disease.
One of the world's leading investigators in the development of new therapies for Alzheimer's, Thal is one of only a handful of scientists whose efforts have significantly contributed to the understanding of the cause, prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. With his entire career devoted to the study of aging and dementia, he began aggressively pursuing the cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease in the 1970s. After investigations in the laboratory using rat and other models, he translated these studies to humans and subsequently performed clinical trials using choline, lecithin and other precursors of acetylcholine. In 1981, he published his finding that choline chloride failed to improve cognition in Alzheimer's disease. This lack of initial success challenged him to explore alternative and novel ways to treat the cholinergic deficit of Alzheimer's disease using other compounds and routes of administration. The importance of this work is evident by its 1983 publication in the New England Journal of Medicine, where Thal provided some of the first evidence that memory could be enhanced in Alzheimer's patients with cholinesterase inhibition.
In the late 1980s, after nearly two decades of intense research activity, his efforts were rewarded with the approval of the first drug (a cholinesterase inhibitor) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In collaboration with Dr. Ken Davis, he organized a landmark clinical trial for evaluating tacrine as a potential treatment. This double-blind, placebo controlled multi-center study was described in a second paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine and paved the way for approval of the compound in the United States. This work established his leadership in the testing and development of drugs for Alzheimer's disease.
In his capacity as the principal investigator of the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS), Thal has established major, large scale clinical drug trials, as well as validation tests for methods to evaluate the course of Alzheimer's disease.
On the basis of a single study published in the New England Journal of Medicine by members of the ADCS, vitamin E has now entered clinical practice for the care of patients with Alzheimer's disease. In another ADCS investigation, estrogen replacement therapy was shown to not be useful for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease in women, despite its previous clinical popularity. The ADCS has also spearheaded the development of concepts such as mild cognitive impairment and has fostered the development of new study designs and instruments useful for clinical trials.
In addition to his extraordinary efforts in clinical research, Thal has done work involving the enhancement of neuronal function and regeneration. He has shown that grafting nerve growth factor cells improved memory in the rat and that grafting ACH producing cells has a similar effect.
In addition to his many published research papers and administrative activities, Thal serves on the editorial board of seven major journals including Neurobiology of Aging and J of Molecular Neuroscience. He is a frequent reviewer and consultant for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation and the Veterans Administration. He serves as a permanent advisor on the FDA anti-dementia assessment team and currently serves on the National Advisory Council on Aging of the National Institute on Aging.
Thal was recently invited to meet with the Chinese government in Beijing along with four others experts in Alzheimer's disease to help the Chinese government develop research and treatment programs for this new century. He has trained dozens of scientists who have gone on to be active researchers in Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Previous UCSD faculty to receive the Potamkin Prize were Robert D. Terry, M.D., in 1988, the first year the prize was awarded; George G. Glenner, M.D. in 1989 and Robert Katzman, M.D. in 1992.

Comments about Brite Ideas Commercial 100 ct. Clear Mini Lights with Brown Wire 6 in. Spacing (Case):
Don't worry about their low cost, these lights work great and are the same quality that the more expensive ones are. The spacing is a little larger than other light sets but you get double the overall length which makes it great for outdoor lights. Each are packed in clear bags with replacement lights and fuses. I had one set burn out a fuse right away but the rest are working 24/7 since I bought them.

text: There is actually another street that is more deserving, and it is also here in our fair city. Sure, it may only have six twisty turns, compared to Lombard's eight, but Vermont Street (between 20th and 22nd streets) can boast curves that are sharper, steeper, and less congested. The views may not be of beautiful gardens and the bay, but here, high above Potrero Hill, you will experience the thrills that Lombard Street's traffic doesn't allow. The Convention and Visitors Bureau campaign has worked so well that we were unable to find even one local who knew the truth.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she wants Britain to remain in the European Union, ahead of a crunch meeting with David Cameron.
She was reacting to a call by UKIP leader Nigel Farage for an "amicable divorce" between Brussels and Britain.
Mr Cameron wants a freeze in the EU budget but is under pressure from Tory rebels and Labour to demand a cut.

A Marshall County man was killed in an unusual hit and run wreck Sunday morning.
A news release from the Marshall County Sheriff's Office says deputies were called to the 4800 block of U.S. 68 West in Palma around 1:30 a.m. Sunday and found 25-year old Matthew William Bonds of Gilbertsville deceased in a ditch.
Police were able to use debris found at the scene to determine what kind of vehicle was involved and used a tip from the public to find the owners—65-year old Jerry Elrod and 58-year old Tammy Elrod.
Mr. Elrod had been delivering papers that morning and told police he thought he had hit a deer. He stopped his vehicle and looked around, but didn't find a deer or the victim. Elrod went back to the scene later in the day to look for the deer he thought he hit and didn't find anything.
Police say they found footprints where Elrod said he got out and they chose not to press charges. The case will be presented to the Marshall County Grand Jury.

A September 2000 trip to Denali by jj2
Quote: Denali stands alone. Our visit was magical, from a rare full view of the mountain on the drive up to brilliant yellows and pastel hues signaling the end of summer. This mountain is a unique experience unlike any other national park we have visited.
The Denali Park operation takes a radically different approach to handling crowds of tourists. Unlike bumper to bumper traffic in Yellowstone, Denali does not permit private vehicles to enter deeper into the park than 14 miles. Its focus on conservation is required by the delicate balance of artic life. The number of species that have adapted to this rugged and unforgiving climate are very limited, so human intervention is strictly controlled. The benefits are evident as you view wildlife from the bus tours, see unspoiled valleys and peaks and enjoy the pristine surroundings.
Outdoor activities are the main attraction, but all ages will find something to enjoy. We took in the Tundra Wildlife bus tour, river rafting, a side trip to the town of Talkeetna and a self tour of accessible areas of Denali Park.
The workforce is a combination of local veterans and seasonal, mostly young, workers from around the world. Most share a love of the unique natural wonders and provide a relaxed and informal welcome. Our late season tour was great from two key perspectives: no crowds and vivid fall colors. I would recommend the timing for the colors alone. At this time, however, many businesses begin to close, restaurants run out of favored menu items and the service staffs thin out.
You can drive into Denali Park only for the first 14 miles. The visitor center is informative, well laid out and a hub for escorted tours. Check the time tables in the entry way or the reception counter just as you enter in order to plan your visit. Drives are time consuming, so some planning is required if you have several things you want to see and do.
The park recommends that you take a bus to see the dog sled demonstration. In late season, we had no problem parking our car near the dog kennels. This is a good idea for flexibility so you can hop back in your car and proceed further into the park rather than backtracking to the entrance to retrieve your car.

The Six Best Baby Blankets by Rebecca M Gruber 3/04/10 26 Reactions 37 Shares Print 29 8 0 0 0 We wrap our children in love and in blankets. Every mother wants to find the perfect blanket to bring her infant home in, one to toss over the child to ward off a chill when they nap and another that the tot finds security or a familiar scent in. There are tons of throws and snugglies on the market, but over the years we (and our kiddos) have put many to the test and now we bring you the six very best. Start Aden + Anais What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The lightweight and breathable muslin Aden + Anais Swaddling Blankets ($44 for four pack) are ideal for wrapping a newborn snug as a bug. The company also makes adorable sleep sacks of the natural fibers that allow your baby's body temperature to adjust naturally. 1 / 7 Amber Hagen What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whether you opt for one of the designer's organic bamboo and cotton blankets ($84) or the cotton cashmere variety ($165), her darling throws turn a room into a nursery. My son received the former as a welcome to the world gift, and we're getting good wear out of it as a bassinet adornment. 2 / 7 Baby Jak What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Baby Jak's Classic Baby Blanket ($56) boasts that it is "the softest blanket ever" and lives up to its promise. My three-year-old was gifted one at birth and the dual toned and textured blanket is still plush despite numerous car trips and being dragged around town. 3 / 7 Little Giraffe What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If it's good enough for Suri Cruise, it's good enough for my baby! Little Giraffe blankets come in luxe ($85) and chenille ($62) varieties, but both seem to get softer over time. My 6-year-old daughter has had her cuddly blanket since she was born! 4 / 7 Max Daniel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Max Daniel satin trimmed blankets come in soft solid colors, fun prints, and animal patterns — a style to suit every babe (particularly those in Tinseltown!). Prices start at $22 for the security blankets and $56 for the throws that Violet Affleck was often photographed toting. 6 / 7 Shi Shu Baby What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 / 7 Which Blanket Do You Like Best?

taxes. Upon the sale the proceeds shall be prorated equally among
the assessment and any delinquent taxes. A sale for a delinquent tax
or delinquent assessment does not extinguish the assessment.

Here's a little ritual I want to start on the blog. Every Monday I will put together a list of recommended reading from pieces published on Cricinfo. As Cricinfo regulars, you will perhaps have read them all. But why leave it to chance. These are not necessarily the best pieces from the last 10-odd days, but the ones I liked best.
It was quite a time, and obviously the incidents in Lahore kept us busy. We had a number of pieces on the subject on the site, and a few stood out.
While covering disasters, professional journalists find themselves walking a thin line between the needs of news-gathering and respecting the private space of those affected. We had mixed feelings about asking Kumar Sangakkara, one of six Sri Lankan players injured in the attack to share his experience. But Kumar, who has been a columnist for us for nearly two years, chose to be the professional that he is, and dictated this piece to us while waiting to board the aircraft that would bring the Sri Lankan team home.
Meanwhile, Alex Brown, who joined us from the Sydney Morning Herald early in February, kept at Younis Khan all day on the telephone and was rewarded with an interview that was, in the manner typical of Younis, both heartfelt and forthright.
Later in the day, Andy Zaltzman, who approaches the business of satire and humour with considerable rigour, came up with a touching appeal to the cricket world not to abandon Pakistan.
Cricket tours invariably are much more than what happens on the field. If you are willing, they provide the perfect opportunity to acquaint oneself with cricket's past and to make pleasant and surprising discoveries. Sidharth Monga made a delightful one when he called up Ewen Chatfield, the former New Zealand medium pace bowler.
In Johannesburg, Jacques Kallis became the first man to make 10,000 Test runs and take 100 wickets. The question asks itself: is Kallis a greater allrounder than even Garry Sobers? Rob Steen tackled the notion in another of his painstakingly researched pieces. What did he conclude? Yours to find out.

MONDAY, Feb. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking may increase the risk of the fatal muscle-wasting disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), researchers warn.
Each year in the United States, more than 5,500 people are diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. There is no cure for the disease and treatments are very limited.
In this study, researchers analyzed data from five long-term studies that involved a total of more than 1.1 million people, including 832 with ALS. Follow-up in the studies ranged from seven to 28 years.
Compared to nonsmokers, the risk of developing ALS was 42 percent higher in current smokers and 44 percent higher in former smokers. The researchers also found that the risk of developing ALS increased by 10 percent for each additional 10 cigarettes smoked per day and by nine percent for each 10 years of smoking.
The researchers also found that the younger a person was when they started smoking, the greater their risk of developing ALS.
"Several possible mechanisms by which cigarette smoking might influence the risk of ALS have been suggested, including direct neuronal damage from nitric oxide or other components of cigarette smoke [such as residues of pesticides used in tobacco cultivation] or from oxidative stress," wrote Dr. Hao Wang, of the Harvard School of Public Health, and colleagues.
"Chemicals that are present in cigarette smoke generate free radicals and products of lipid peroxydation, and smokers have a higher turnover of the major antioxidant vitamin C. Exposure to formaldehyde, a byproduct of the combustion product of tobacco smoking, was reported in 2008 to be associated with an increased risk of ALS," Wang said.
The researchers concluded: "Better understanding of the relation between smoking and ALS may further the discovery of other risk factors and help elucidate the nature of the disease."
The study is puiblished in the February issue of the Archives of Neurology.

Ben and Jerry's Co-founder on socially responsible businesses
I scream, you scream, we all scream for socially responsible companies!
I find myself in agreement with Ben Cohen's views on how businesses need to learn to use their power not just for self interest but to benefit society as a whole. Brands are slowly learning that their customers now demand they be more responsible both environmentally and socially.
A recent example of this was the Nestle Palm Oil debacle with Greenpeace. Nestle has since amended their ways and have announced that they will align themselves with The Forest Trust. Their recent news adds:
TFT, a global non-profit organization, will help Nestlé to build responsible supply chains by identifying and addressing embedded social and environmental issues. Nestlé is the first global consumer goods company to become a TFT member.
Businesses are beginning to change their ways and policies, its just a pity the public had to inform them of the impact they have on our planet. Cohen gives a small example of how the US is currently spending $730bn a year on the just the Pentagon alone when for just $30bn you could end world hunger or for $15bn provide universal education to the people who need it the most. Obviously there are bigger hurdles to overcome and you can't just throw money at a problem but in order to get a task like this off the ground it requires co-operation from the big guys.

Of course, the spectacles of today are somewhat less bloody than those of yesteryear, when gladiators confronted each other in front of 25 000 spectators who had taken over the tiers of seats in this edifice from the end of the 1C, but they are just as tragic!

Profile Should Display Win/Loss %
enough said
Like a Win:Loss ration?
Or like a percentage of wins? |
Not a big fan of percentages myself. Ideally, if the ELO system works properly, you should be facing people who have a roughly equal chance at winning as you do. You might win more than you lose. If its by a significant amount, then the ELO system is failing. So, you win 55% or 54%? Whats it matter? I know sometimes its just "interesting to see." It might be meaingless, but I am sure some people would seize on it as some sort of "measure of skill." No need to promote ****-sure elitism ;). If its out of sight, it probably will be out of mind.
Its just so satisfying to see those little numbers go up :)
