London's Heathrow airport has moved to appease airlines by offering to reduce an increase in landing fees it is seeking to charge between 2014 and 2019.As part of a proposed new pricing regime, Heathrow has submitted a plan to the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) seeking approval to raise tariffs by 4.6 percent above inflation, as measured by the retail prices index (RPI), for the five years from April 2014.This is 1.3 percentage points lower than an offer Heathrow bosses made earlier this year, which led to a backlash from many of the carriers using the west London hub. The move reflects a similar move by Gatwick, Britain's second-busiest airport, to scale back its planned fee increases.Following Heathrow's initial proposal, Willie Walsh, who as chief executive of British Airways parent IAG is Heathrow's biggest customer, called the airport "over-priced, over-rewarded and inefficient".Although the fees are charged to airlines, they may be passed on to passengers in the form of higher ticket prices.Heathrow chief executive Colin Matthews said the airport's investors, who have spent more than GBP£10 billion (USD$15.3 billion) on the airport over the last decade, expected to see a fair return.Heathrow's investors include Spain's Ferrovial and the sovereign wealth funds of Qatar, China and Singapore.Heathrow plans to invest a further GBP£3 billion to improve the airport between 2014 and 2019 and said it had identified GBP£427 million of cost savings to help it cut landing fees."The plans seek to strike the right balance between continuing to invest for passengers and keeping charges at a level that is affordable for airlines," said Matthews."The level of charges at Heathrow is also tightly linked to the historic level of capital investment in new facilities."In April the CAA recommended that increases in landing fees at Heathrow should be capped at 1.3 percent below inflation.Gatwick said in June it was reducing its requested fee increase to RPI plus 1.5 percent, having previously sought an extra 4 percent, in the seven years to 2021.

Pop Singer Lance Bass
Oprah.com | October 24, 2007
As a member of the popular band *NSYNC, Lance Bass was a teenage heartthrob. Despite his appeal to teenage girls and his conservative Christian upbringing in Mississippi, Lance says he knew from a young age that he was gay. Gayle talks to Lance about embracing his sexuality and about his memoir,
Out of Sync
Lance says he knew he was gay since he was 5 years old and had childhood crushes on boys. He says he felt ashamed of his sexuality, and when he became a part of *NSYNC as a teen in the late 1990s, he continued to hide the truth from others. "It was very hard and very confusing," he says. "I felt like a different character, and as long as I was with *NSYNC, I lived a double life."
In his book
Out of Sync
, Lance shares the series of events that led him to come out to the public on the cover of
magazine in 2006. From the disappointing breakup of *NSYNC to media speculation about his sexuality, Lance says he felt he had no other choice than to come out. "Now that I've really accepted this and seen people's reactions and positive reactions from everyone out there, I'm proud to say 'I am gay,'" he says.
While his memoir also delves into Lance's training to become an astronaut and his plans to continue singing and pursue acting, Lance says the real purpose of his book is to help others. "I'm so glad I get to share my story because I wrote this book mainly for the coming out process for a Southern family to deal and cope with," he says.

Discuss the color and number symbolism in Riders to the Sea.
3 Answers | add yours
The colours white and red are prevalent in the play. Consider the redness of the petticoats of the keening women and the white of the flour for bread and also for the timber boards that will fashion the coffin. In terms of numbers consider 3 and the numbers which allude to The Book of Revelation 6.1.8. "and I looked and beheld a pale horse and his name that sat upon him was death" and Exodus 15.1 "The horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea"

Thanx about this answer
Posted by omar33 on February 1, 2011 at 2:31 AM (Answer #3)
the colour symbolism is very prominent to the theme of the play. first, the red mare and the grey pony. Red obviously symbolizes life or the vibrant flow of life. But bartley is riding the red mare. So the question arises that how does bartley then face a disastrous death. The point here is that Bartley is indeed riding the red mare but is follpwed by the grey pony. Here it is a composite symbol: red cannot be treated in isolation but red followed by grey symbolizes that life would be usurped by death chasing it. Needless to mention, the colour grey symbolizes death.
Then, there is the pig with the black feet. Black obviously symbolizes evil, and the reference to the pig with the black feet presages evil destiny for the maurya household.
it is also interesting to note that though the play is set in the otherwise idyllic setting of the Aran islands, nowher is there any reference to the colour green, symbolising freshness, life and rejuvenation. Throught we are conscious of the unseen presence of the dark sea anf the white foam of the waves splashing on the turbulent surface. This overabundant presence of black and white also reiterate the suggestion of death with which the entire play is replete.
the nuber nine is a constant presence in the play. Michael is lost for the last nine days, Bartley says he'd be back in 2 or 3 or 4 days(2+3+4=9). When the play opens Maurya had already lost six male members of her family, husband, father-in-law and her 4 sturdy sons, and by the time the play ends Michael and Bartley are both gone and she herself says that she won't last after them.(once again nine). Nine is referred to in theology as representing triple trinity, thereby suggesting that the hand of God( ironically) is on the family, that death looms large over all.

Another lie from the left.Civil libertarian activists forced the closure of mental health institutions (and facilities for the mentally retarded) around the country because the mentally ill and mentally retarded supposedly have "rights" to be part of society (i.e., live with minimal or no supervision). These same activists forced laws forbidding anyone else from knowing the mental diagnosis or issues of those thus integrated. For example, you have no right to know if a mentally retarded person living next to you is a sexual predator, or if the mentally ill person is prone to violence. And it´s the law that these people can vote, too, and they can be accompanied by a nice "case worker" in the voting booth.Leftists had problems with the mentally ill and mentally retarded being "warehoused", and certainly in former times care was dreadful. But now it´s not, yet the facilities are being closed one by one. The activists claim it´s not OK to have separate facilities for the mentally ill or mentally retarded, conveniently forgetting that we have separate facilities for the physically ill (hospitals), the aged (nursing homes, assisted living facilities), age-restricted communities (prevalent in Arizona), and even the rich (gated communities).Bette Midler is just repeating the same lies over and over. Having created the problem in the first place, leftist whores still want to blame anyone but themselves for the consequences of their actions. She also is stupid: ironically, in Newtown, Connecticut, there used to be a regional mental health facility where Adam Lanza might have been able to get treatment, but it was closed by pressure from civil libertarian activists in 1995.Shut up and sing, Bette.
Here we go with the same old lies... Yes, the ACLU was behind a lot of it and in the state of California it was Pat Brown (Democrat and father of Jerry aka Edmund Jr.) who was behind emptying the mental institutions. The legislatiin passed under Brown and the actual releases took place after Reagan took over as Governor. But he couldn´t stop what already went through the courts. He had NOTHING to do with it but the left loves to blame him. They repeat lies over and over until people believe them to be the truth. That is their modus operandus.
Why doesn´t she blame the Founders who gave us the right to defend ourselves with firearms a/k/a guns. She is another ignoramous. Reagan was forced by law to release the mentally insane.
The wisdom of Hollywood´s buckets of rocks.
Sorry to hear about Bette Midler´s ongoing mental health problems, but I hardly think Ronald Reagan is to blame.
Midler is the poster child for a person with no mental health.
I guess I´m all grown-up now. I used to think that big boobs and a big mouth were a good thing.....
Performing out at all of those gay bath houses in the ´70s has softened her brain.Shut up. Period. Bette´s not even entertaining any more.
Shut up, and go away!
Good away you has been, what ever you were
Have to agree with #5. The entire story is contained in the headline.You need read no further. Kinda like standing in line at the checkout, glancing at the cover of the tabloids. Very convenient, I must say.
Nice of old Bette to blame our current health care "woes" on President Reagan. Unfortunately he is no longer here to comment. So I´ll say this. Bette you need to use the wind beneath your wings, take your twin sister Joy Behar and fly on back to your padded cells. That way we won´t have to be subjected to your mindless blabberings any further.
Remember this woman when she was making her way to stardom? She would grab her breasts, squeeze them then shake them at the host on the TV show? Or talk about crude sex she was indulging in? Or the drugs she was using? I think we can all pretty well judge where THIS slut´s mental health issues originated.
Maybe Bette can explain to those of us who had mentally ill relatives in the 1970s why we could not have them committed to institutions, why we had to watch helplessly while they became homeless, why we worried about what they would do to themselves or others. I´ve heard the Reagan blame from the left for a long time. It´s what they´re told. They are too dim to find out for themselves.
Bette, bless your pea brain...this isn´t about "you never want a serious crisis to go to waste", it IS about "creating a serious crisis out of thin air so it won´t to go to waste"
What #1 and #2 said. IMHO, most of the country doesn´t even know WHO or WHAT Bette Midler is or was. One more used up "comedian/singer" with the same old brainless rants. Who cares?
Nobody can ever accuse a lie-beral of using logic, reason or facts for anything, when good old fashioned lies and feelings work so darn good for them...
Even a liberal actress of Midler´s limited mental capacity cannot be this stupid naturally She has to be brainwashed, programmed and automated.Pathetic that the people of the US listen to such tripe!
This, from a woman who dresses up like a fish and rides out onstage in a motorized wheelchair. She´s had her own personal mental health woe long before Reagan was President and long after.

Electromagnetic Locks
An electromagnetic lock is a device used to control the access through a door. It consists of an electromagnet mounted in or on the door frame and a matching plate that is affixed to the door. When energized, the electromagnet holds the plate with a retention force that may exceed 1000 lbs, thus effectively locking the door. BuyAccess.com carries electromagnetic door locks in a range of holding forces to suit different applications.
They are typically controlled through security systems, keypads, key switches, card access systems, 'request to exit' buttons, and/or by special devices worn by persons who's safety could be comprised by uncontrolled egress.

Judge to present lecture on same-sex marriage ruling
Polk County District Court Judge Robert B. Hanson, whose ruling in a lawsuit opened the door to same-sex marriages in Iowa, will present a lecture at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, February 22, at Morningside College.
Hanson's lecture will focus on his decision in Varnum v. Brien that Iowa's 1998 Defense of Marriage Act, which allowed marriage only between a man and a woman, violated the state's constitution. The lecture is open to the public and will take place in the Yockey Family Community Room in Morningside's Olsen Student Center, 3609 Peters Ave. The lecture is sponsored by the Morningside Civic Union and the Morningside Gay Straight Alliance.
Hanson ruled in 2007 on behalf of six same-sex couples who had filed suit against the Polk County recorder for refusing to grant them marriage licenses. The Iowa Supreme Court later unanimously upheld Hanson's ruling. In November 2010 judicial retention elections, Iowa voters removed from office three Supreme Court justices who participated in the ruling on Varnum v. Brien. Polk County residents voted in the same election to retain Hanson as a judge for Iowa's Fifth Judicial District.
Hanson was appointed to the bench in 2003. He received his undergraduate education from Stanford University in 1978. He went to the University of Iowa and earned his law degree in 1981. He clerked for the Iowa Supreme Court and practiced law privately prior to his appointment.

By Harry Haun
Annaleigh Ashford, who started the season as the sad, toothless tart in the Dogfight competition, finished it pretty much on top of the world with a surefire shot at the Tony, as the love-struck factory-worker who wins Sands' heart. Talk about your everyman candidate, she was adorable — and everybody in the house knew it.
"It was magic," she assessed, still coming down from her triumph. "The audience totally understood what was happening and was with me every step of the way. I think we're telling a real story, and everyone in the audience can relate to every person on stage. It's exciting to watch. The heartbeat reaches the back of the house."
She was quick to lateral a lion's share of credit to Lauper. "…When she got to know me and Stark and Billy, she started writing not only for the character but for how we were playing the character, so I feel like we really got to collaborate within the songs. What she wrote for me — I mean, I couldn't possibly be more grateful to her than I am."

Kudos, too, to her first Broadway director. "Jerry gave me my Broadway debut. He's directed two Broadway shows, and I'm proud to be in both: Legally Blonde and this."
Director Mitchell, tall and lanky as ever and graying (no doubt with cause!) around the edges, was blissed out over the good job his cast had done. "Billy's phenomenal," he started off. "He's one of those moments when the right role and the right actor come together. It reminds me of the first time I worked with Norbert [Leo Butz] in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and, the second time, in Catch Me If You Can — a role and an actor coming together and making that magical thing happen at just the right time.
"Stark also. The thing is Stark doesn't have the showy part. What's so great about his performance is, after he fires everybody and yells at Billy, then sings 'Soul of a Man,' you still hear the audience loves him. He just alienated everyone within distance — that is a real testament of just how much you love an actor just for being his person."
Ashford's triumph was a particular source of pride for him. "Annaleigh came in for Legally Blonde. She was the only actress to make me laugh on that first scene where she's supposed to be talking to the dog. I said to her, 'You're Goldie Hawn, aren't you?' I've been in love with her from that day on. She's a brilliant comic actress."

Mouth-Blown Venetian Glass Lighting
Melograno Blu set up their studios 5 years ago in Venice, and have been creating a storm of attention the world over for their delicate mouth-blown glass chandeliers. They have launched themselves from obscurity with success at the Paris Maison et Object Fair last year, and can now be found in some of the hippest hotels from Hollywood to the Cote D'Azur, and in some lucky private residences worldwide. The ethereal qualities of these glittering blown glasses cannot be described; they must be experienced. They literally define the space -- you could design an entire residential design scheme around them.
Each piece is first hand crafted by Murano artisans (thus creating one-offs) then, they are accessorized with silk tassels, natural beaded shells, sculpted egg pendants, or glass coral branches to create that sultry environment evocative of old Oriental-style lighting in the 1920's Paris and Berlin nightclubs. There are several glass forms and sizes to choose from, creating numerous possible combinations, which are then customized to your needs. Prices can be inquired upon by requesting information through the studio's website, but expect to pay upwards of 6,000 Euros for your divine chandelier creation.

How often will shuttles run to this hotel? Will any be at night after the activities or late library open hours?

Shuttles will run in the morning and evening. The frequency will depend on the needs of the hotel guests. The conference team will be working with the hotels so that we can have hopefully have a later night shuttle. The final decisions will be made by the hotels and we will publish the full schedule later this summer. Don't be shy in asking other registrants if you can share a ride, too!

Sugar Tyme is one of the most popular crabapple trees ever. In fact, ten years ago it won the Michigan Grower's Choice Award. Packed into this little tree is a year's worth of beauty—fragrant, snowy-white blossoms in spring, glossy green leaves in summer, and bright red fruit in fall and winter. It's also very resistant to disease. Don't just sit around waiting for better times ahead—plant Sugar Tyme, and they'll come to you. Common name: Sugar Tyme crabapple Botanical name: Malus 'Sutyzam' Sugar Tyme Plant type: Deciduous tree Zones: 4 to 8 Height: 14 to 20 feet tall Family: Rosaceae
Growing conditions • Sun: Full sun • Soil: Acidic, well-drained • Moisture: Average
Care • Mulch: Mulch to help keep soil moist. • Pruning: Minimal pruning needed. Prune dead, damaged, or crossing branches after flowering (in May or early June). • Fertilizer: None needed
Pests and diseases • Aphids, tent caterpillars, Japanese beetles, and borers may attack the tree. • Sugar Tyme has excellent resistance to apple scab, and good resistance to fire blight, powdery mildew, and cedar-apple rust.
Garden notes • Sugar Tyme makes a good small shade tree or specimen tree. It's tolerant of the stresses of city life and generally small enough not to cause trouble with power lines, so it makes a great street tree, too. • Butterflies like the spring flowers, and birds love the fruit. • Though most of Sugar Tyme's fruit will cling to the branches well into winter, some will fall to the ground, so pick a site where this won't be an issue. For instance, don't plant the tree right next to your patio or front door.
All in the family • There are about 35 species in the Malus genus. It's not a big genus, but it contains one of the most important fruit crops in the world: apples. • The difference between a crabapple and an apple is size. Fruit that's less than 2 inches in diameter is a crabapple and fruit that's more than 2 inches is an apple. • Other trees in the rose family include hawthorns, juneberries, chokeberries, cherries, peaches, and plums.

Star Trek & The City Twitter Account Follows Ensign Carrie Bradshaw's Love Affairs In Space
by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, January 28th, 2013
The world is full of people with amazing ideas. The latest example is Star Trek & the City, a Twitter feed that mixes Star Trek with Sex and the City. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha are all Starfleet officers dealing with the usual relationship promises and pitfalls. Whoever is running the account certainly has the Bradshaw voice down but it's great imagining Kim Cattrall as her Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country character Lt. Valeris. I'm assuming the girls have somehow fashionized the regular Starfleet uniforms. Check out some of our favorite tweets and see how easily space explorations fits with sex talk.

What is ACT-on-HCV?AASLD Curriculum & Training (ACT) is a new initiative that will provide strategies and mentoring for managing HCV and is designed to increase the confidence and competence of healthcare professionals new to providing care for patients with HCV.
ACT on HCV Curriculum includes the following components (detailed below): five online interactive CME/CE-certified modules; an experiential component which includes logging direct clinical experiences, mentoring from "Expert Resources", and participation in case-based discussions via the ACT on HCV community teleconference/web-based programming; an online final examination, and a Certificate of Curriculum Completion for successful trainees.
Why ACT-on-HCV?As the field of hepatology continues to grow, an increasing number of healthcare professionals with little or no experience are being utilized to provide competent patient care. Further, providers in communities or facilities with limited hepatology or Specialty Clinics may have fewer opportunities to engage in real patient cases or multi-disciplinary case discussions regarding patients with HCV. These providers need to be able to evaluate and identify patients for potential therapeutic treatment, and potentially initiate treatment when appropriate.
Who is the Target Audience for ACT?Medical professionals new to providing care to patients with HCV.
What are the Key Topic Areas?
What are the Components to the Curriculum?There are two components to the Curriculum: 1) Online Learning and 2) Experiential –- "ACTual."
Experiential Component "ACTual":

AT&T streamlining plan options for new customers on Oct. 25, Mobile Share to be only data option
Alex Wagner - Editorial Director of News and Content@PhoneDog_Alex
Just a little over a year after their initial debut, AT&T's Mobile Share plans will soon be the only option for new customers that need data. AT&T announced today on Oct. 25, it will "streamline" its plan options for new subscribers, requiring them to sign up for one of its Mobile Share offerings if they want any texting or data. The carrier has told Engadget that it will still offer a $40 plan that only includes 450 minutes for consumers that have no need for messaging or mobile data.
AT&T says that this move is a response to the popularity of its Mobile Share plans, which were being used by over 13 million devices as of Q2 2013. The base Mobile Share plan includes 300MB of data at a price of $50 per month for basic phones and $70 for smartphones, and from there customers can choose from plans that range from 1GB to 50GB of data. Every Mobile Share plan includes unlimited talk and text as well as mobile hotspot.
Existing AT&T customers needn't worry about putting a death grip on their existing rate plan, as AT&T won't require them to switch to Mobile Share on Oct. 25. Those users are free to continue with their existing plan, make feature changes or and even upgrade to a new device without being forced to make the Mobile Share jump.
While it's kind of a bummer to see AT&T basically requiring new customers to sign up for a Mobile Share plan, it's good to see that Ol' Blue won't be forcing any of its existing users to switch. And hey, if you were thinking about moving to AT&T but don't want a Mobile Share offering, you've still got two weeks to make the jump. Better get going.

Final Say
Driving a culture of innovation
By Raj Batra
Innovation. What is the first thing that comes to mind? For most people, it is probably an image of a research and development (R&D) department where cloistered employees are sworn to secrecy about the next big thing being hatched in their labs. We see some of that, to be sure. But we are also seeing innovation "from the outside in" and its impact on our products, our business models, and even our company culture.
There is also a spillover effect in terms of how our customers think about their own businesses. Just recently, I had the pleasure of seeing this outside-in thinking in my own job. A hugely successful customer in the automotive space agreed to open its doors to a food and beverage client on the verge of a major technology upgrade. While their products could not be more different, the similarity in their operations became apparent very quickly. Both companies have an emphasis on speed, quality, volume, and high availability of technology supporting sequential processes. And both companies appreciated the insights into the other's operations and the innovative way automation and control technology was being used in such diverse settings.
From potato chips to vacuum cleaners
The cross-pollination of ideas across industries is itself not entirely new. A few years ago, Procter and Gamble generated buzz after sharing how it used high-power computing and experiences in the aerospace industry to better understand the aerodynamics of the Pringle potato chip. And more recently, Siemens juxtaposed the use of its product life-cycle management (PLM) software technology, which played a part in the development of the Mars rover Curiosity, with similar applications used to design and build Dyson vacuum cleaners.
What is new is the increasing extent to which innovation success depends on outside inputs. In many companies, R&D budgets have declined, so companies are filling their innovation pipeline with customer input. "Crowd sourcing" (generating ideas from the online public versus employees) and "social manufacturing" (using social media to drive the entire PLM process) require an ability to be open and accepting of ideas from diverse sources. The key is to be able to channel the information through information technology tools that can accelerate and improve the decision-making process across the product life cycle. According to research done by Siemens and Harvard Business Review, 55 percent of companies are taking this approach.
Diversity driving innovation
In my own division, our emphasis on diverse thought processes is driving business innovation. Several of our employee affinity groups, such as the African-American employee community and our young professionals network, have joined forces to create small teams assigned to solve discrete business problems.
The program stands out for two reasons. First, the teams are about as diverse as they come, representing geographically dispersed talent from a wide spray of functions and businesses. Second, the program is so popular that employee demand for additional challenges is outstripping our supply of projects. I am impressed with the hunger among our most engaged and diverse employees to learn and contribute above and beyond their typical sphere of responsibilities.
More than R&D
Solutions come from everywhere. That is why our R&D concept includes a lot more than the $5 billion annual R&D budget. We measure our ability to innovate based on our success in creating new designs, new technologies, new features, and new services. In addition, however, our corporate innovation processes focus on innovating around new markets, new organizational forms, new business models, new processes, and new ways of thinking.
A major R&D focus is on automation technologies, where the most promising fields of innovation are identified to drive a renaissance in manufacturing. New products are changing the paradigm for automation.
As employees, customers, and partners open up to new ways of solving problems in automation, we are seeing a great deal of optimism about the impact that new technologies can have on increasingly complex industries. Owing to the well-known spillover effects of industrial innovation into the rest of the economy, these innovations have the power to fuel a renaissance not only in manufacturing but in society as a whole.
Raj Batra serves as president of the Industry Automation Division, Siemens Industry sector in the U.S., where he is responsible for overseeing all development, marketing, sales, R&D, and manufacturing aspects for IA in the U.S.

"Not terrible for the price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
It was just okay. Room had suspiciously blood like stains on the carpet but smelled clean. Bring your own pillows because these are very flat and front desk doesn't keep extras. Basically a decent cheap place to rest but not to enjoy yourself.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 21, 2013
I was already familiar with the Hotel ML, which is the reason I chose to make a reservation there. It was a fairly comfortable stay, however I was not aware of the water park. There were many children at the hotel during our stay, which could have detracted from the romance of my evening because the kids were somewhat loud at times. I will consider staying at the Hotel ML again, but not if romance is what I'm going for.

"Good experience great staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 4, 2012
Our family stayed two nights at this hotel for a nearby convention. What really stood out was the helpful and friendly staff. Checking was a breeze, the employees at the breakfast buffet were really eager to help and maintained the area nicely. When i spilled a drop of my yogurt before entering my room, the housekeeper was so willing "don't worry I got it!" (no rolling eyeballs) to clean it up even though I was fully willing to do it myself. It was an experience at a hotel that I have not felt since I was on Disney property. There were some active renovations going on, so there were some areas that were aesthetically mismatched in the main lobby, but there were no loud noises during our waking or sleeping hours (we were on the 1st floor), and I felt this was a minor inconvenience compared to other problems I have had at other hotels (ie. dirty room, mold smells, unfriendly and apathetic staff). What I especially appreciated with the breakfast that it was filling (pita with cheese omelette pocket, waffles, bagels were what I ate), and the coffee was well stocked and strong enough. I have stayed at other hotels offering a breakfast buffet and their coffee is so weak and watered down.
"Great Stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 2, 2012

Hiss Golden Messenger
Durham, N.C.
When it comes to hard-to-pin artists with pseudonyms in three parts, you can officially stack Hiss Golden Messenger on the same shelf as Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Kleenex Boy Wonder, Iron & Wine, and East River Pipe. MC Taylor has released a handful of recordings under the name Hiss Golden Messenger, ranging from the solo and stark Bad Debt to last fall's Poor Moon (released by Chapel Hill label Paradise of Bachelors and re-released by Tompkins Square). Each has been more multicolored than the last. Bad Debt aside, Taylor works with a rotating collection of musicians, including Scott Hirsh, Taylor's former band mate in San Francisco-based The Court & the Spark, an outfit that tempered its dreamscape tendencies with more straightforward Neil Young-isms.
Taylor's sound revolves as much as the players, from classic rock to reggae to country-soul to pure atmosphere. That tends to give those writing about it challenges, if not fits. Before they pull muscles trying to tell you what Hiss Golden Messenger is, most reviewers make a big show of declaring what it isn't: traditional country or folk rock. Then the namedrop parade starts—Fairport Convention, Traffic, Lindsey Buckingham, William Butler Yeats, King Tubby, Duane Allman, Steely Dan, Curtis Mayfield (which, of course, automatically leads to Lambchop).
Taylor did, however, travel east to enroll in the folklore program at the University of North Carolina, eventually settling in Pittsboro, so it's not as if he's afraid of rootsy touches. It's just that the pedal steel and fiddle and mandolin are accompanied by strings and horns blasts and a somewhat unexpected lushness. It's tempting to drop Greil Marcus's "old" adjective and label Taylor's work "weird Americana," but that suggests an oddness for oddness's sake, and that's not the case. The best summation comes courtesy of Matthew Fluharty, at The Art Of The Rural: "The singer stands where so many of us stand: in between tradition and change, the past and future, looking for a foothold." —Rick Cornell

I Choose to Laugh finds humor, joy amidst fear and uncertainty of cancer.
Southaven, Miss. (PRWEB) February 19, 2014
Cara Blakley Smith and coauthor Wallis Simpsons inspirational cancer memoir, I Choose to Laugh: Faith in the Midst of Cancer (published by iUniverse), which will be featured at the 2014 Bologna Childrens Book Fair, brings hope and comfort to other cancer patients and their loved ones with her incredible true story of laughter and faith.
As a five-time cancer survivor, Smith writes, I wanted to communicate to people that God does love us and have a plan for our lives, even when it doesnt make sense.
After Smiths fourth fight with cancer, her friends and family encouraged her to start a support group. Instead she started a blog. I Choose to Laugh is a collection of essays from Smiths blog that seek to find the humor in cancer. Smith, who believes that laughter is truly the best medicine, includes valuable advice for patients about doctors and dealing with chemotherapy. She also dedicates a section to caregivers and friends of cancer patients looking for strength and encouragement.
Overall, Smith stresses the importance of faith in the healing process, citing examples of how her faith in Jesus Christ kept her strong and positive throughout her journey.
Faith in God is what carries us through the most difficult hours, Smith asserts. This book is to encourage people as well as provide information to equip the cancer victim to be their own best advocate.
The 2014 Bologna Childrens Book Fair kicks off on March 24th and continues through March 27th. The show features childrens books exclusively and hosts a wide variety of titles from around the world.

We've rounded up three of our favorite models for this shoot. Skylar and Brad are the quiet ones. Paul is the motor-mouth, going on about the ladies, how he likes cougars, likes to party; the time he hit NYC with an older woman he fucked in the ass, after which she ate his hole. Enough already! The three sit down and start jacking themselves off. They are an entertaining and exciting trio to watch, especially when they lean back and lift up their legs to show us their manholes. Brad unloads first, followed by Paul, then Skylar who has worked himself into a sweaty state. An awesome triple blast. The boys then hit the shower to wash themselves clean while squeezing under the single spigot - all of them quite fetching, especially Paul who looks so uncomfortable!

Sweet game!
This turned out to be a lot better than I remember it. It was great how you were able to put so much detail into a game that had a fairly simple premise. I was a bit confused by the instructions to press down for toggling, but those switch around the platforms to jump onto. It's just great how much this guy can jump around. I was thinking he resembles a sort of space hamster. Another cool thing is how you instantly teleport out of the level when you are done with it.
I like how the protagonist's yellow color contrasts with the red background. If MC taught us anything, it's how well contrasting colors work. The music was also nice and seemed to have a country feel to it. Granted, I have never heard of the thumpMonks so I would not recognize their stuff. It's fun just collecting everything and finding out for yourself what goes where.

Excellent graphics and controls; it's more based on logic and figuring the level out than anything else, and I like that.
As it has been said, it does get a bit repetitive.

Altogether 12 companies have signed a two-year marketing deal with local organizers.
Both local and international companies have shown great interest towards the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, the biggest annually organized winter sports event. We will announce more partnerships later this year, promises Mika Sulin, General Secretary of the Finnish Local Organizing Committee. Marketing Manager Tero Kumpulainen, who is in charge of partnerships within the Finnish LOC, says that with eight months to go both the LOC and the newly announced partners will have to work hard to make the most out of their commitment. "For most of the companies a logo in the official materials is no longer enough, the companies want the partnership to benefit their business on many levels."From a partner perspective, the IIHF World Championship is an attractive communication platform for brands. They can strongly benefit from the popularity of the tournament as well as from its wide reach.When compared with many other big events, the upcoming World Championships that will be co-hosted by two countries (Finland and Sweden) for two years in a row offer many possibilities for the partners. Most importantly, all the partners will benefit from the extra year, as normally the contracts cover only a one-year period. The partnerships can also be negotiated on a Nordic level if the companies wish their contract to cover both organizing countries.On top of national partnerships, the Event has a number of international sponsorships negotiated by Infront Sports & Media AG, the owner of IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship marketing rights. The most visible and well-known of the international sponsors is Skoda, the Official Main Sponsor of IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship since 1992. So far international sponsorship deals have also been signed with the following companies: AJ, Bauhaus, Beiersdorf, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Henkel, Kyocera, Nike, Raiffeisen Bank International, Tissot and Zepter. The first 12 national partners of the 2012 & 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships are: Cramo, Event Travel Finland, KONE, MTV3, Muuttopalvelu Niemi, Mynthon, Nokia, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Puustelli, Scania, TuroTailor and Veikkaus. The main venue and the arena for the semi-finals, bronze medal game, and the final of the 2012 World Championship is the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki. The Swedish venue, and the home of Tre Kronor, is Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, also the main venue for the 2013 tournament. www.iihfworlds2012.com

By SCOTT BAUER
Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — With their Senate colleagues still in hiding, Democrats in the Wisconsin Assembly began introducing a barrage of 100 amendments Tuesday to try to stymie the Republican governor's plan to strip unionized public employees of most of their bargaining rights.
Both houses of the GOP-controlled Legislature convened shortly before noon amid noisy protests outside the state Capitol that began more than a week ago in an epic showdown that is being watched nervously by organized labor across the country.
The Senate was unable to take up the union measure because its 14 Democrats skipped town last week, denying the chamber a quorum. But Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald pledged that his chamber would approve the bill this week, despite the blizzard of Democratic amendments.
Turning up the pressure on the Democrats, Gov. Scott Walker warned that state employees could start receiving layoff notices as early as next week if the bill isn't passed soon. The layoffs couldn't take effect immediately — existing union contracts could forestall them for weeks or months — and Walker wouldn't say which jobs he would go after first.
"Hopefully we don't get to that point," the governor said in a statement.
Borrowing the strategy pioneered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Walker took his case straight to the voters Tuesday evening with a speech from his Capitol office that he called a "fireside chat." With protesters drowning out his message as it was played over monitors in the rotunda, Walker calmly laid out his case for the bill, saying it was needed to balance the state's budget now and into the future.
"It certainly isn't a battle with unions," Walker said. "If it was, we would have eliminated collective bargaining entirely or we would have gone after the private-sector unions."
Walker warned of "dire consequences" if the Democrats don't return soon to pass the bill, saying up to 1,500 state workers could be laid off by July with another 6,000 forced out of work over the next two years.
One of the missing Democrats, Minority Leader Mark Miller, delivered his own response from Illinois.
"The only action available to us to slow this down and allow democracy to work was to take us out of the Capitol," he said.
While Wisconsin remained the main front in the national debate over union rights, similar battles were taking shape in other states. In Indiana, House Democrats walked out of the Statehouse on Tuesday, blocking a GOP-backed bill against mandatory union dues. Only three of the 40 Democratic members of the chamber were present, depriving it of a quorum.
A similar debate in Ohio drew thousands of union protesters Tuesday, prompting officials there to lock the doors to the Statehouse.
In Wisconsin, if lawmakers take no action on the union bill by the end of the week, the state will not be able to refinance debt that Walker had counted on for $165 million worth of savings under the legislation. Republican leaders in both the Senate and Assembly said they have the votes to pass the bill.
Fitzgerald said the bill was a key part of the Republican agenda to cut government spending that won the GOP majorities in the Legislature in November.
"When you talk about a compromise, no. We're going to make a reform," the Assembly speaker said.
Debate began in the Assembly with the Democrats introducing amendments that would do such things as restore public employees' right to strike and submit the bill to a referendum before it could take effect. Given the number of amendments Democrats were proposing, an actual vote on the measure may not happen until Wednesday or later.
"It's going to be a long day," Democratic Minority Leader Peter Barca said at the start of debate. "Tempers are going to flare."
He was right. Two Democrats lashed out at Republican lawmakers and aides for laughing at them during the debate.
"This is not a game! We're dealing with people's lives! This isn't funny!" Rep. Andy Jorgensen shouted in the chamber, his face red. "I haven't laughed in a long time, especially not on a day like this!"
Rep. Cory Mason, a former organizer for the American Federation of Teachers, said Wisconsin has enjoyed more than 50 years of labor peace between state and local public employees and their bosses after passing collective bargaining rights in 1959.
"What the governor is proposing and what the majority is proposing today is to break that labor peace," he said.
The roar of protesters in the Capitol rotunda, many of whom were banging on drums and chanting through megaphones, could be heard while both the Senate and Assembly met.
The Wisconsin bill would force state and local public workers to contribute more toward their pensions and health care and would strip them of the right to negotiate benefits and working conditions. They would largely be limited to negotiating pay raises no greater than the inflation rate.
The proposal, designed to help Wisconsin plug a projected $3.6 billion hole in the budget, has led to eight straight days of monumental protests that grew as large as 68,000 people on Saturday.
The Senate was stymied for a second time in its attempts to take up the bill after none of the 14 Democrats who skipped town on Thursday showed up. Under Senate rules, 20 lawmakers must be present to take up a budget bill. There are only 19 Republicans.
Unable to act on Walker's proposal, the remaining Republicans instead took up some non-controversial measures, voting to extend tax breaks to dairy farmers and unanimously commending the Green Bay Packers on winning the Super Bowl.
Unlike last Thursday, when the Senate galleries were filled with protesters who disrupted action by shouting, only about a dozen people showed up under heavier security to watch the action on Tuesday.
In the Assembly, the gallery was packed with hundreds of spectators who watched the debate without causing any disruption. Democrats wore orange shirts to show solidarity with protesters that read, "Fighting for working families." Thousands more people watched the debate on TV monitors inside the rotunda.
Walker and Republican leaders have repeatedly called on the Senate Democrats, who fled to Illinois, to return and get back to work. Democrats have said they won't come back until Walker is willing to negotiate.
"We'd love to come back today," said Sen. Jon Erpenbach. "We could be up there this afternoon and pass this if he would agree to removing the language that has absolutely nothing to do with balancing the budget."
Packers star Charles Woodson and two other players, along with five former team members, have come out against the bill.
Associated Press writer Ryan J. Foley contributed to this report.

They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
