Helium has long been the subject of public policy deliberation and management, largely because of its many strategic uses and its unusual source-it is a derived product of natural gas and its market has several anomalous characteristics. Shortly after sources of helium were discovered at the beginning of the last century, the U.S. government recognized helium's potential importance to the nation's interests and placed its production and availability under strict governmental control. In the 1960s, helium's strategic value in cold war efforts was reflected in policies that resulted in the accumulation of a large reserve of helium owned by the federal government. The latest manifestation of public policy is expressed in the Helium Privatization Act of 1996 (1996 12 Act), which directs that substantially all of the helium accumulated as a result of those earlier policies be sold off by 2015 at prices sufficient to repay the federal government for its outlays associated with the helium program. The present volume assesses whether the interests of the United States have been well served by the 1996 Act and, in particular, whether selling off the helium reserve has had any adverse effect on U.S. scientific, technical, biomedical, and national security users of helium.

Kenny Klein: Tales Of The Rambling Wren.
Follow Kenny from the levees of New Orleans to the whirling chaos that is the Pagan festival circuit and beyond. Musings, rants, and just plain Pagan talk.
Pagan Festivals: Why, Why Not?
Since I am in the middle of my summer tour, which takes me to Pagan events around the U. S., I thought I'd devote a Blog entry to one of my favorite subjects, Pagan festivals. I've just come from a couple of these amazing occurrences, and tomorrow I'm on my way to a couple more. I'm lucky; I can spend most of my summer at Pagan festivals. I'm even luckier that I get to do this because it's part of my job.
I'm always surprised by the number of Pagans who have never attended a Pagan festival. Maybe I shouldn't be. When I entered the Pagan community in the early '80s, festivals were about the only way to meet other Pagans face-to-face, to share news and learn ritual chants, to experience large scale ritual, and to learn from authors and teachers. Much of that can now be done on the Internet, or at one-day Pagan events (like PPD) that allow Pagans to build community. And unlike those early days, when it was hard to even find other Pagans, it's easy today to locate Pagans, Pagan groups, open rituals and Occult book shops. Still, I continue to see a great value in Pagan festivals (maybe it's simply because I am, as my Pyrate says, a curmudgeonly Wiccan). So let's talk about a few of my favorites.
First, because I am a lovers of words and their meanings, let's define what we mean by Pagan festival: there are events, like Pagan Pride Days (PPD), that are put on for Pagans a few hours of one day. These have great value as a way to meet local Pagans, gauge local resources (bookshops, merchants, clothiers, etc) and find local teaching groups. But I classify these as Pagan events, not as Pagan festivals. So let's talk about what I mean by the term: Pagan festivals are extended events put on by Pagans specifically (and perhaps exclusively) for Pagans. Therefore we're not talking about ren fairs or SCA events: while those may be of interest to Pagans, they are not put on by Pagans for the benefit of Pagans (the mall is also of interest to Pagans, but that doesn't make the mall a Pagan festival). Pagan festivals are usually camping events (some sites are tenting only, some have cabins), and they are days long, lasting anywhere from three or four days to a full week or more. Standard happenings at Pagan festivals include: workshops on Pagan and magical subjects, usually by authors or experts; concerts by Pagan performers; rituals conducted by celebrities or known groups; and in the last fifteen years or so, a ubiquitous bonfire featuring drumming, ecstatic dancing, hoolah-hooping and fire-spinning.
Pagan fests are definitely a commitment of time, money, and other resources. You'll spend up to a week at the fest, pay an entry fee (some fests are priced high, some surprisingly low); you'll need to bring food or buy meals on site for that week, and you may buy items and products from festival merchants and from musicians. Many festivals provide a work-barter arrangement, so that people with limited income but lots of energy to work may attend. A few even offer scholarships. The pay-off is a week (or more) of community and fellowship with hundreds of other Pagans, providing an exchange of knowledge and ideas. Also some enjoy a week or so of living a free lifestyle: many fests are clothing optional, (if you are not used to this, it is non-sexual and nonjudgmental). Fests are often places where people can experiment with or indulge in alternate lifestyles, like polyamory, gender-bending and S&M; despite this, most are very family-friendly, and the more adult-oriented activities are usually kept from young eyes. The fire dancing and drumming are joyous and cathartic for many attendees, and some people come to a week-long fest just for the bonfire activities. Others come for the rituals and chanting. I will say here that the concerts are pretty good too...if I do say so myself. And of course, many attendees just enjoy the act of creating a Pagan village for a week, where you can speak and act as yourself and people get it! (As a companion piece to this Blog, see Owl's blog at Sage And Scourge, up in a couple of days).
I've wondered aloud, then, why more people don't attend these gatherings. Some of the reasons I've heard make little or no sense: More than one Pagan has told me they are afraid attending a Pagan festival will result in being "outed." If you go to these things often, like I do, that seems odd. These festivals are run by Pagans for Pagans; no one is allowed to take your photo unless they ask, so your image will not appear on the Internet. No list is kept of attendees except by the fest's registration. And let's look at it in very practical terms...if word ever got out that a festival "outed" attendees, no one would ever go again, the organizers would go broke, and the festival would go out of business. Since some festivals have been in existence since 1976, I'd say that's a silly supposition. I'd say another major reason that people don't attend festivals is that they just don't know about them. Despite such Internet sites as Witchvox, and magazines like Circle Network News, people just do not seem to find out about these events. I really have no solid explanation for that.
OK, so let's look at some Pagan festivals I've attended. Remember this is an opinionated list, and you may disagree with me (experience tells me I should use the word "will" instead of "may")...
Sirius Rising/Summerfest: Two great weeks of Pagan festivals back to back, these fests take place at Brushwood Folklore Center in New York state, close to Erie PA (so don't think New York city, think Erie/Niagra Falls). The site is beautiful, with rolling meadows, thick forests, and such amenities as a pool, hot tub, flush toilets, two good food cafes, a bar, and a gorgeous bonfire area. The festivals are very spiritually focused, with a major ritual performed each festival day. They have very good concerts on a professional sound stage, as well as musical events scattered throughout the site. Child care and a kids-only swim are available. Brushwood's fire crew are inspiring in their devotion. Held in mid-July, and highly recommended!
The Sirius Rising bonfire, courtesy of this site.
WicCan Fest: Canada's oldest Pagan fest is held in Barrie, ON, just north of Toronto. An excellent fest with amazing community, good workshops, a really nice bonfire and good food!! There are a ton of kids, and a very family-friendly atmosphere. The campsite is not clothing optional, which for some is a drawback, for others no biggie (it's Canada in June, so it gets a bit chilly!). There are a few cabins and lots of camping room, a pool, a small but awesome bonfire, and lots of fellowship. I hold this fest up as the bar to which I gauge all others. The organizers are just the best people I know. Held in June, and highly recommended.
Free Spirit Gathering (FSG): Held at Camp Ramblewood in Maryland, this festival is a scholarly oriented fest with excellent workshops by well-known presenters. There is still some wildness, like fire dancing, but my experience is that this is a very good fest for those who want calm and learning. The Pagan band Kiva performs each year, and they're very good. Cabins with indoor plumbing are a huge draw, as well as a full-sized pool. Held in late May/early June. (If you want something wilder, the same organizers hold two adult-oriented fests each year at the same campground, focused on sacred sexuality, both worth attending).
Pagan Spirit Gathering (PSG): One of the oldest Pagan fests, and the blueprint for all fests that followed, PSG holds community as its priority. This festival does not bring in big-name presenters, preferring to draw upon the talents of attendees for workshops and rituals. Run by Selena Fox, one of the great names in the Pagan community, and tied to her organization Circle, which has done such amazing work as the Pentacle Headstone project and the Lady Liberty League (which provides lawyers for people battling discrimination against their Pagan beliefs). The rituals are among the best in the U. S. Held in Illinois as of this writing (the festival has changed sites a few times) in June.
Heartland Pagan Festival (HPF): the Midwest's premier festival, Heartland was inspiring as it was one of the first festivals to buy its own land. The festival brings in big name Pagan authors, and features cabins and a lovely lake for swimming. Held in Kansas in May.
Earth Warriors Festival: EWF is a small, intense fest held in Ohio at the Autumn Equinox. While very small by comparison to other fests, the presenter line-up is stellar, there is great music (this year Kellianna and Frenchy & The Punk are featured), and the kitchen staff is awesome. Cabins are available, the mess hall is great, and there are good local merchants.
Starwood is not easily defined as a Pagan festival, as it encompasses much more: it is a party, a fire festival and a music festival with a strong Pagan element. The most chaotic of all the fests mentioned here, go if you want excellent Pagan workshops, perhaps the best drumming of any festival, and a lot of dizzying activity 24 hours a day! Ohio in July.
I will mention two others briefly: Florida Pagan Gathering was great the one year I attended: plenty of good workshops by well respected authors. Florida in May. Mayfaire in Greenville NC is a bright, shining little star, a small festival with a great sense of community. Held in May. The same organizers hold a Samhain fest as well, which I will be at this year.
I'm off to Brushwood in the morning, and I hope and trust that the festivals are as good as they have always been. I also hope to see more people take advantage of this amazing Pagan resource! Until next time, this is Kenny Klein, the Rambling Wren, explaining it all.

WARREN - Councilwoman Cheryl Saffold was in the fight of her political life as newcomer Erica Royster nearly toppled the incumbent councilwoman in Tuesday's Democratic primary.
Saffold was the apparent winner with 51 percent of the vote compared to Royster's 49 percent in unofficial and incomplete results. Some provisional and mail-in ballots have yet to be counted.
During the campaign, Saffold described her role as a city council member as one of the most gratifying in her life. She was active in the campaign to get rid of massage parlors and reduce violence in the community.
Earlier this week, Saffold hosted an expert in placing surveillance cameras in cities.
"I am very grateful for this opportunity," Royster said. "The people have spoken. I still will be here to help my community in any way I can."
Royster said the closeness of the vote is a reminder that every vote counts and people need to go out and do their part, whether there are many issues on the ballot or just one.
"I've learned many things in this campaign," Royster said. "The most important is not to give up. You have to keep going. There are going to be periods of ups and downs, but you have to continue doing what you believe in."
Saffold could not be reached for comment late Tuesday.

From Yesterday's Comments
A discussion broke out in the comments for yesterday's post and I thought some of it would be useful here in case not everyone reads the comments.
The comments were about buy and hold and then drifted into choosing a money manager. The reader asked;
...it is impossible to know what someone's long term performance will be ahead of time.
If investment managers are the "market", how can a manager beat the market ad infinitum? This is a logical contradiction.
My reply;
What is more important to you, beating the market or having enough money when you need (it) and being able to sleep more often than not?
In my answers above I don't think I said competence ties (in with) beating the market.
I would focus on a manager's philosophy, it is either right for you or it isn't, either gives you the sense that they can get you to where you need to be or not. A competent manager will beat the market sometimes, lag it sometimes, have hot streaks along the way and also go cold.
If beating the market is your only criteria you will be disappointed. IMO an investor needs to have enough money when the time comes and need to be able to stomach the ride between here and there.

Interesting but LONG article on risk management in the NY times...

The "market" is the aggregate return from all participants. Some exceed the average return, others lag the average return. Half of the participants will fall short, often way short of the market. The point is why not just settle for market returns and not worry whether you will fall short. Managers who make the wrong sector play, or get fooled by moving averages etc. can actually cause someone not to have enough money when they need it.
The question about beating the market arises because that is the only reason someone would choose an active manager. Anybody can easily earn the market's return through index funds without taking on the additional risk of falling short that comes from active management.
I wholly agree with the disappointment comment regarding beating the market. But active management comes with an additional price that virtually assures that over time, an active manager will actually lag the market by a wide margin. That is, even those managers who earn the market's return, their clients will that return, minus all the management fee and unnecessary taxes and consequently fall short.
I hope your client's read this and proceed with their eyes wide open. The evidence is available for all those willing to look.
Anyway, I know this is not the place to come and preach passive investing. I will cease causing commotion. Later. - 10:54 PM
- Jim L. said...
I think many small investors are passive/active: they see the argument for buy and hold yet still feel that urge to add a bit to the market return. It may be a fool's game, but it does add a little interest to one's investing life to obtain additional returns based upon correct understanding and correct decision-making, however limited the sums involved. If I can be a bit active and "creative" with a portion of my portfolio and obtain an overall return near the market return, I am satisfied with my efforts.

You might want to learn something about the concept of risk adjusted return.
thanks for the NYT link, i'll read it now. - 6:42 AM

Roger, you are a sports guy, why can selecting money managers be similar to selecting the baseball team you think will win the series. Why can't there be a manager that consistently wins or ranks high, just because of a combination of raw talent, luck, and better resources?
It seems to me, its not that some managers will win and then later lose, it would seem that some managers are really bad, and never win, and that allows some managers to consistently out perform (either in a relative, or hopefully in an absolute sense) - 7:53 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
there are some managers that are bad repeatedly and some that are good more often than not but my hunch is that most are middle of the road. but maybe i have that wrong.

Ritz Theater
2 N. Eighth Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Ritz Theatre was listed in the 1937 and 1945 Payette city directories. The Ritz Theatre was still operating in 1950.

This is supposed to be a photo of a Ritz Theater in Payette, Idaho.
The same website has a photo of Main Street in Payette with a theater visible on the right, but I was unable to determine what theater that might have been.
There was a Rio Theater in Payette, Idaho. Maybe thats the other theater.
I can't figure out what theater is in that photo. The Rio is not another name for the Ritz. And the Rio is not listed on this site. I don't know what street the Rio was located on. You could add it if you want.
I will add the Rio with address unknown. We know the Main Street theater and the Ritz were on different streets, so there shouldn't be any confusion there.
Good idea. Maybe the Rio is the theater in the photo. I know that both theaters were operating at the same time in the 1940s.

The 1993 film, based on a book by Michael Crichton, depicts a theme park island filled with dinosaurs, resurrected from ancient DNA extracted from fossilized mosquitoes trapped in amber. For a while, that science didn't seem to be entirely fiction. In the early 1990s, several scientists announced they hadextracted DNA from insects fossilized in amber as long as 130 million years ago. Insects from this time in Earth's history, the early Cretaceous period, would have flown among dinosaurs (including giant, long-necked sauropods, among the largest creatures ever on land) as well as creatures such as flying pterosaurs, swimming plesiosaurs, feathered birds, and mammals.
This Lebanese amber was until recently the oldest in the world, older than the more common Dominican amber, which formed around 16 million years ago and the 49-million-year-old amber of the Baltic. But last year, tiny mites were found for the first time in amber dating from the Triassic period—230 million years ago.
While the premise of the film—that dinosaur DNA could be extracted from the guts of a preserved mosquito that had recently dined on one—seems reasonable, the fragile nature of DNA and the huge expanse of time that has passed have led many experts to doubt claims to have extracted any DNA that old—including DNA from the insect itself.

Windows 8 app update roundup: Music, Video, and Evernote receive new features and performance tweaks
If you enjoy writing down notes while listening to music and watching a movie at the same time, then you are in luck because Music, Video, and Evernote for Windows 8 have received updates. Microsoft's Music and Video applications serve as the gateway to Xbox entertainment, while Evernote provides a Class A experience for organizing various types of data.
During Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, SanDisk announced their largest-capacity MicroSD card ever with 128 GB of space. Thanks to WPCentral forum member, NoRomBasic, we can see that the SanDisk Ultra 128 GB microSDXC card works with the Nokia Lumia 1520. Initial tests suggest that the card has no performance issues to worry about.
Do I need an umbrella today? Most of you answer this by just looking out your window when you wake up. That might cut it in a place like southern California, but head anywhere else and you're going to need to check the weather forecast to dress accordingly. Let's check out the best weather apps on Windows 8.
Weather apps are a little tricky to review and rank. There are many different users who all look for something different from a weather app. You know, different strokes for different folks. Some put a higher importance on accuracy, while others want a weather app that looks good. We spent the last few days trying out a handful of weather apps in the Windows Store and walked away being most impressed by the following. In no particular order, here they are.
The long wait has paid off and Titanfall is finally here for Xbox One and Windows PC (Xbox 360 version is due soon). The game throws you into the battlefield as a Titan pilot – your Titan is the ultimate mechanical warrior to help you squash the enemy resistance. There are quite a few Titans to choose from though, and if you are stumped on which to choose, the following personality test from Respawn Entertainment might match you to the perfect robot warrior.
Few weeks back, Microsoft Studios released yet another casual, and free, Xbox game for Windows 8 devices. Microsoft Bingo is a fun, travel-themed take on the classic game of chance. In the game, you travel the globe playing your way through a variety of exotic locales and extraordinary settings as you fill your card.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is the current hot trend. (And has been for a while, really.) There are many perceived advantages for a company that allows employees to bring their own devices to work and have access to your company resources, but is BYOD right for you? Can you make mistakes when developing your BYOD policies? Can you really let any device connect to your resources?
Lets look at a few top issues that you should be aware of.
There's some good news for those with Windows Phone devices who like to game, even more so if you like Spiderman. Gameloft has just announced that the Amazing Spider-Man 2 official game is headed to your phone "in April". It will join a similar version for iOS and Android, finally giving launch parity to Windows Phone.
There's no word if this will be an Xbox LIVE game though our hunch is 'no' as Gameloft has been foregoing certification lately (see Asphalt 8, Total Conquest and Minion Rush). Indeed, if Gameloft wants to get this game out in the same week as iOS and Android, it will probably need the freedom offered by it not being an Xbox LIVE title, much to the disappointment of many.
Skype is Microsoft's gem when it comes to communication services for both consumers and enterprise. Video calling enables folk to remain in contact when the only connection is a network and the company could well be looking to add live annotation capabilities to Skype. This would enable users who are conferencing over supported devices to make live annotations that can be exchanged with the recipient.
Microsoft's lineup of Surface tablets can be an excellent solution for those either looking for a tablet companion or to replace their existing PC. With the recent launch of Microsoft's Power Cover, the abilities of Surface have expanded, but new hardware is not the only way Surface is improving. Today, as part of Microsoft's March 2014 update, a stream of firmware updates and software fixes have been released for the Surface 2, Surface Pro, and Surface Pro 2.
Despite its steady rise in market share, and even surpassing Blackberry as the number three mobile ecosystem in the U.S., Windows Phone is still facing an uphill climb in the consumer smartphone arena. However, according to IBM, interest in Windows Phone is growing much faster amongst its enterprise customers than it is with consumers.
In an interview with RedmondMag, Jim Szafranski, senior VP of customer platform services at IBM's Fiberlink unit, said that many of his enterprise customers would prefer to use Windows Phone in their environments. The main reason, he says, is consistency. Microsoft dominates in the business infrastructure world, be it with Windows, Active Directory, Exchange, Dynamics, or Office.

If there's one form of media smartphone owners enjoy access to it has to be music. Windows Phones and music go hand in hand with numerous solutions available on the store, whether it be local library management, cloud services and music stores.

Today Only: Buy the DICOTA Hard Cover for Nokia Lumia 900 and save 85%
Popular mobile games often take a long time to arrive on Windows Phone - if they ever make the trip at all. Last year I wrote an editorial explaining the delay in porting games to Windows Phone and the market situations that make such delays inevitable. To make a long story short, bringing games from iOS and Android to Windows Phone at the same time as the lead version often doesn't make financial sense for the publisher… Not that we have to like it.
In fact, one of our dedicated readers doesn't care to wait-and-see whether popular games like Candy Crush Saga will make it to Windows Phone at all. Tjecco been running a forum thread dedicated to contacting mobile developers about support for Microsoft's mobile OS for a while now. With the help of other fine readers, he continues to reach out to developers and update the thread with their responses. Find out which developers have recently confirmed Windows Phone support (and what you can do to help) after the break!
Qi wireless charging is heavily supported with Windows Phone, especially since Nokia utilises the technology in most of its premium Lumia smartphones. Today, the Wireless Power Consortium announced that both Microsoft and Samsung Electro-Mechanics (a subsidy of Samsung) have joined the board.
This board drives Qi's adoption across mobile hardware and other technologies and the move for Microsoft makes sense as the company prepares to take Nokia's hardware division.
The Xbox One didn't get any new games last week, but that was just the calm before the storm. This week, the highly anticipated Titanfall has finally landed in North America (the European release will follow on Friday). Possibly the most advanced first-person shooter to date, Titanfall has the potential to move Xbox One consoles like no game before it. Check out our "Everything you need to know for the Titanfall launch" article for more details.
The Xbox 360 still has to wait two weeks for Titanfall, which is exclusive to Xbox consoles and PC. But the 360 gets a heavy hitter of its own this week: Dark Souls II from Namco Bandai. Players who crave a challenge will be busy with Dark Souls II for a very long time. Head past the break for screenshots, trailers, and Store links for both games!
Earlier this afternoon, we reported that Microsoft Stores were getting stock of the new Surface 2 with LTE, destined for AT&T. At the time, we were unable to post photos due to a confidentiality request. Since that time we have ascertained more information, which we can share with you now.
The 64 GB version of the LTE based Surface 2 will have an in-store price of $679. Compared to $549 for the 64 GB non-LTE Surface 2, consumers are looking at $130 price hike for having permanent internet connectivity. We do not yet know if AT&T will be offering any tie ins or contract deals to lower that amount, though it's certainly feasible if you toss in a 2-year contract.
Tonight marks an extremely important night for both the Microsoft gaming community and the Redmond based company itself. The March 11 launch of Titanfall by Respawn Entertainment marks the biggest launch to hit the Xbox One along with other platforms including Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Though the Xbox 360 version isn't due out until March 25.
Microsoft is ready for the event and is going all out with the launch by throwing midnight parties at their various retail stores, but are you prepared for Titanfall?
Inbound Weave update brings Pocket support, redesigned Share screen and more. Here's your first look
If you're a fan of Weave, the popular news aggregator app for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8, get ready to start checking for updates. Version 8.6.5 should be hitting the Store anywhere between the next few hours and tomorrow. That's the Windows Phone 8 version and it has some swell additions, making it one of the more visually appealing news readers at your disposal.
Version 8.6.5 is not a major overhaul, but it does finally bring Pocket support (www.getpocket.com). With great apps like Poki or Pouch on Windows Phone, we find ourselves using the Pocket service more and more.

Microsoft has a few hurdles to jump before it can finalize the acquisition of Nokia's handset division. The biggest hurdle? Regulatory approval in China. As we reported a few days ago, Samsung and Google have expressed concern to the Chinese government over potential higher patent fees from the Microsoft-Nokia deal. Turns out Korea smartphone manufactures and the Korean government aren't too keen on the idea either.
Cameraphone enthusiasts love xenon flash because it is much brighter than traditional LED flashes found on most phones and it's great at freezing motion in low light. The Nokia Lumia 1020 has xenon flash, but if you're on a budget, take a look at the Nokia Lumia 928 instead. There happens to be a great deal for it on eBay. There are refurbished models for just $179.99 without contract.
Nextgen Reader for Windows 8 goes free, but for today only (Update: Price change rolling out with slight delay)
One of our personal favorite applications for both Windows Phone and Windows 8, Nextgen Reader, is being listed free on the latter platform's store. The Windows Store will have what is quite possibly the best RSS reader for the platform free, and it is only rumored to last for the remainder of today. As the app normally runs for $2.99 USD, it cannot hurt to pick it up now.
Windows Phones are great for mobile gaming, especially when it comes to Xbox Live integration. There are thousands of titles available spanning a number of categories and myAppFree is partnering with some of the developers to make four popular games free this week – Second Chance Premium, Tim the Fox, Dengen Chronicles, Super Agent. Head past the break for details and store links.

"I had both..Definitely better than the IPaD2!!!"
5.0 starson by JimJ777Pros: Cameras, Google talk for free, better screen, better functional Apps, being the build is similar to the ipad2 there is really no need to mention build, I can hold it. Speakers are great, Custom desktop to tailor to fit my way,
Cons: So far no complaints that I didn't have with the Ipad, no usb or other upgrade ports, no removable battery
Summary: If you rate the Ipad2 over this than you are truly mistaken. First of all the build quality besides plastic and metal back( talking about picky, I actually am happy Samsung is doing something with the unused plastic that's not biodegradable!), How about Cameras? Thinking of taking a night video or picture? You can't with Ipad2. Want to put your family picture or your girl or boyfriend on your desktop? Can't with the Ipad2. Switch between programs without leaving another? Can't with well you know..Screen display( for your Iphone 4 users..lol..) Yeah no retina here and if so still doesn't work in daylight. How much is the Galaxy compared to Ipad2? Yeah don't think so..I don't know what speed tests these chucklenuts are doing but my Galaxy is way faster the my Ipad2..Faster charging time..Give me a head to head with real everyday life stuff and I KNOW the Galaxy will outperform the Ipad2 hands down..not this BS review.. So if you are one of those type of people that just need to spend 800 dollars because it says the name then please do so but don't try to convince me it's better because you lying to yourself and others..Keep your assumptions to yourself!

i am so pleased with this product. i liked the look of it so well that i ordered in black and in red. the bags are beautiful. they look and feel rich. the purse is the perfect size - not too big and not to small.i'm so happy i got both bags. i'm ready to rock the holidays!!
I returned this purse after using it one time. The seems around the handles came out. The price was appropriate and not the quality I am accustomed to out of a Kenneth Cole product. I wonder if it was a second or "bootleg" product?
I usually dont do purses.but im 27.theres space 4 ur phone and keys.than a bigger space 4 anything
I love it the second I saw it! It's beautiful and perfect size, not too huge but not tiny either. Gorgeous red, goes very well with my black/gray/white outfits. Priced well too. Good quality
I wanted a simple, yet chic, black bag to have for the weekends when I run errands & want to stuff things in my purse. This bag is it & I love it!
I really love this purse I needed something roomy and I can fit everything but the kitchen sink :-)

NATO commuting headaches return for rush hour, though the end is in sight
By TINA SFONDELES Transportation Reporter email@example.com May 21, 2012 7:08AM
A Department of Homeland Security police officer checks a bag of a commuter before she headed into Chicago at the Metra station during the morning commute in Matteson, IL on Monday May 21, 2012. The officers were there due to the NATO summit. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
- The NATO Summit: Latest news, protests and events
- Map: NATO Summit road closures and parking restrictions
Article Extras
Updated: July 1, 2012 12:56PM
It looks like drivers listened to the city's warnings of NATO-related street closures. For three days, downtown streets were barren. And on Saturday, Lake Shore Drive in both directions from downtown to North Avenue was a breeze. The only traffic was by foot or bike as Chicagoans enjoyed a nice day on the city's lakefront paths and beaches. For those who did come to work in the Loop on Monday, commuter traffic — both on the roads and trains — was lighter than usual as the NATO Summit entered its second and final day. "I suppose I should thank #NATO because me & my briefcase each have our own seat," one Chicago commuter tweeted. And on the CTA, there was a clear drop in ridership during the summit. On a normal Monday morning, for instance, it's standing-room-only, bump-into-the-person-next-to-you at the Paulina stop on the Brown Line. But on Monday, there were plenty of seats available on the train into the Loop. On the L, uniformed Chicago police officers were checking passengers. At Grand and State, officers got on and questioned a passenger with several pieces of luggage whether the bags belonged to him. "Yes, sir," he said. Underground pedways — usually open between CTA stations downtown — were closed. Metra warned its riders less than two weeks ago about restrictions and closures; riders couldn't carry on bags or beverages on any of its trains; numerous stations would be closed on the Electric Line, including the line's entire Blue Island branch. Although some Metra riders said they weren't being checked, spokesman Michael Gillis said the agency hadn't eased its restrictions. Matteson resident Art Wasik, 85, carried a suitcase and a trumpet case onto the 7:30 a.m. Metra Electric Line train bound for downtown Chicago. He was headed to the International Trumpet Guild meeting in Columbus, Ga., a four-day excursion he'd been planning for six months. Department of Homeland Security officers initially told Wasik he would have to find an alternate route to O'Hare Airport but eventually let him board after a dog sniffed his luggage and his trumpet case. Motorcades seemed to be the only headache for drivers Monday evening. The NATO Summit ended at 2 p.m., but drivers dealt with rolling closures on the outbound Kennedy Expressway for hours as heads of states were ushered to O'Hare International Airport. Around 5 p.m., drivers on the inbound lanes saw something they're quite used to: bumper-to-bumper traffic. Some closures hadn't been lifted Monday night, but officials say all will be clear for the Tuesday morning rush. The lack of train riders and drivers for most of the day was due in part to warnings about anticipated problems getting to work on Monday. Many Chicago companies allowed people to work from home Monday, including Boeing and Aon. Some bank branches also are closed, along with Illinois Secretary of State offices downtown.

Death Star Hotel Being Built, World Is Doomed
This structure is being built in Baku, Azerbaijan (an ex-Soviet country between Russian and Iran). Now I'm a firm believer in honesty being the best policy, so why they're trying to construct this under the guise that it's to be the "Full Moon" Hotel is a mystery to me. Just come out and say it already, Azerbaijan. This is not a 521-foot-tall hotel with 382 rooms on over 35 floors. This is the end of life on earth as we know it. That thing is going to blow up the damn planet. I, for one, am scared.
UPDATE: False alarm -- just saw the rest of the pictures. Nothing to worry about. Turns out the damn thing is flat. No way is it large enough to house a superlaser that could destroy the planet. However it is large enough to expect a reasonably sized mini-bar in each room.
Two more from different angles after the jump.

Yesterday was a brutal 9 degrees F in upstate NY! I find it difficult sometimes to dress fashionably when the weather is that extreme- leggings and pants, the thickest sweater I have, and layering hoodie over hoodie, and a coat and scarf for outside.
Do you get extremely cold weather where you're at, and how do you keep warm and stay fashionable at the same time?
Here is another cold weather look. Showcasing my new Calvin Klein coat. Check it out here:

I currently don't use a primer under my makeup. I just put mositurizer on first. But I've been seeing and hearing that putting primer on before makeup can really help it go on better and look better.
Do any of you use primer before makeup application? If so can you recommend an affordable one? Also do you put mositurizer on before the primer or is primer moisturizing enough that I could then skip that step.
I swear by L'Oreal magic Perfecting Base. A little goes a long way and it's only around $12. Plus, it's not hard to find coupons for L'Oreal!

I was wondering if I could wear a brown pencil skirt, with burgundy shirt, some heels, and add a tight like this one:Pattern tights from Best Sock Drawer to an interview (notice the interview is at a fashion store). Is it ok to dress a little more fun/free since it's for a fashion company? Or maybe would this clothes look too "matchy" and boring? What's your suggestions? Tks!
When I interview people I notice that a lot of younger girls tend to wear what they think is business casual, but it usually comes across as cheap and tacky. If you are interviewing for a fashion job make that your clothing choices are tasteful with a funky flair that represents your own personal style.

so far I had bold prints and colors tight black dresses and combat boots but I feel as if there should be more what do you think?
also check out my blog it will be greatly apreciated ;)
There's a lot of different ways to look edgy chic. I think bloggers Xander Vintage, Jean Greige, and Le Happy are some of my favorite edgy bloggers. I notice they wear a lot of constructed jackets and grungy boots. I think combat boots add edge to any outfit.

Does anyone know any online stores that sell cool, affordable, decent quality jewelry? Anywhere from the $5-$20 would be awesome. Thanks!

Nice bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper with a finger of lingering off-white head. Very attractive.
Biscuity malts and piney hops, with light notes of citrus and honey.
For "Hop Head" I was expecting something a little more hop-forward and daring..definitely not a bad beer..quite good, actually..but just a little retrained..overall it's got a nice bitter and malty backbone..finishing smooth and dry. Good drinkability.

I never go to Beer Revolution here in Calgary without sampling at least one IPA. This was last night's example, a light bronze/dark amber pint with whitish froth an inch or so deep. Smells somewhat floral and quite tropical, with a sweetish citrus iced tea undercurrent and a whiff of darkish malt. This IPA does possess some English character even if the hopping regime is American, with pleasant brown sugar, mellow molasses, raisin, and toast flavors propping up non-aggressive but flavorful hops ... These evoke lemon/lime/grapefruit rinds and oils, peach, refined (not harsh) pine/menthol, melon. Very balanced and the individual flavors meld together. Finish is pleasantly mentholated and bitter but not over the top or coarse. I need to develop some sort of matrix-type rating system in which to plot IPAs along various dimensions like citrus, floral, tropical, orchard fruit, pine, etc. to capture the hopping. This one is mild on most of these dimensions in terms of intensity but they are all present to some degree, and I enjoy the dark malt flavors lurking in there. Great if I am in the mood for something hoppy yet refined and balanced, as opposed to aggressive, uber-flavorful, and harsh. Depends on the mood.

4.23/5 rDev +10.4%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Poured from the bottle into a tulip pint glass.
Deep rusty red and copper orange and very clear. Some good slow rising thing carbonation below a somewhat thick and faint tan four finger billowing controlled head. Some ring like lacing and island retention thick capped top. Always manages a puck while drinking.
Great nose on this. Soft hop citrus, and juicy sensing qualities. Some sweet leafy herbal tea and faint caramel. Highly aromatic but nothing exceptionally large.
Palate delivers nicely with a varied hop quality. First taste is bitter grapefruit oils and warmth, followed by a minty aftertaste and refreshing soft bitterness. Nice toned down sweetness with some caramel like senses in the mid palate. Great controlled lingering bitterness finish with orange pekoe like tea. Very light bodied with just a touch of playful carbonation, but not a wet palate at all.
This really packs a great hop punch for an easy low ABV. One of the better Canadian made IPAs I've had in some time.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Got this one at the LCBO back in The Loo.
From a bottle into a snifter
APPEARANCE: Pours a one finger, fluffy, off-white head with very good retention. Clear burnt orange in color with lower levels of carbonation. Head slowly fades to a full wisp and sticks to the sides of the glass. Splotchy wisp remains and leaves lots of nice lacing down the glass. Good looking beer for sure.
SMELL: Pale malts, caramel, honeydew melon, toffee and some floral hops on the nose. Bold enough.
TASTE: Pale malts, caramel, melon flavors, then some bitter-sweet flavors after the swallow. Medium but lingering aftertaste of sweet caramel and toffee, decent hop bitterness and floral flavors. English in style for sure, with a solid malt backbone.
PALATE: Medium body and medium levels of carbonation. Semi creamy on the palate, goes down smooth and finishes slightly mouth-coating.
OVERALL: Solid beer. Nothing worth writing home about, but a good English style IPA that's easy to drink. Enjoyable and worth drinking for sure. Pretty good looking too. Recommended.

3.85/5 rDev +0.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
A : crisp golden amber, 1/2 finger of really white head which dissipated pretty quick and left nice lacing
S : potent hops, piney, citrus, pineapple and some banana, well balanced
T : starts off fast with a strong slap of delicious hops and citrus into a sweet and then slightly bitter finish
M : creamy and easy flowing, full bodied and well carbonated
O : I suspected i would enjoy this when i saw the name but it exceeded my expectations. Very pleasant aroma and taste combination of hops and citrus. This is my first time trying anything from Tree and i am just upset that i only bought the one bottle.

3.81/5 rDev -0.5%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
330 mL bottle poured into tulip, colour is a bright orange gold, cap of white soapy head, pretty good retention and lacing that sticks around. 3.75
S – sweet grapefruit citrus, honey, some subtle pine notes, pleasant citrus notes, bright florals. nice caramel toffee notes. I imagine it would be brighter if a little fresher, this has a bit of dankness. 3.5
T – sweet caramel malts with dry grapefruit, clean toasty biscuit, with some slight drying floral and piney notes coming in on the end. Full citrus, pear, lemon, some nutiness and cherry, all fairly tight and not that deep, some graininess with carbonation, the finish is dry, crisp and biscuit with some lingering citrus. 4
M – moderate body, good amount of malty body, plenty of carbonation with a bit of a souring bitter kick. Easily sessionable, enough bitterness to keep it fairly balanced. 3.5
Makes me want to try it really fresh, feel this has put on some age on the trip to the lcbo here. Still a pleasant though standard citrusy IPA, some pine and spiciness to it, wouldnt mind some more hops in it. I'd like to see how it is fresh, but with some improving local IPAs Im more inclined to head for that direction.

Snow Cancels Johnson County Murder TrialBy Vanessa Miller, Reporter
IOWA CITY -- Testimony in the first-degree murder trial of Justin Marshall, accused in the fatal shooting of a landlord in Iowa City in October 2009, will be delayed for a day because of snow.
Judge Sean McPartland decided to cancel Wednesday's proceedings before 8:30 a.m., allowing the 16 jurors to avoid the roads, if necessary. The trial is expected to resume on Thursday. Wednesday's delay marks the second time this week that testimony has been cancelled for an entire day. The stoppages likely will mean the trial will go beyond its original two-week time frame. Attorneys on Monday spent the entire day discussing and investigating new information that came to light over the weekend from two key witnesses – James Brown and Rhonda Bluitt, neighbors of Marshall and his co-defendant Charles Thompson in the Broadway Condominium complex. John Versypt, according to police, was a landlord for units in that complex in south Iowa City and was checking on his properties when he was fatally shot during an attempted robbery on Oct. 8, 2009. Thompson, 20, was the first person to be arrested in the case in February 2010, followed by Marshall, 22, in July 2011 and Courtney White, 25, in October 2011. All three men originally were charged with first-degree murder. But Thompson's trial, the first of the three, ended in a mistrial when prosecutors inadvertently presented evidence that was inadmissible. Following the trial, Thompson agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for his promise to testify against Marshall. He has not yet taken the stand in Marshall's trial. If convicted on the murder charge, both Marshall and White could face life in prison.

The Core-Plus Mathematics curriculum, by design, incorporates the Common Core State Standards Mathematical Practices into each lesson. In particular, for students to develop proficiency with the CCSSM Mathematical Practice: Use appropriate tools strategically, they will need to have access to technology both in school and at home. CPMP-Tools public-domain software provides that access. Scroll down to see more information about and sample screens from CPMP-Tools.
CPMP-Tools is a suite of both general purpose and custom software tools designed to support student investigation and problem solving in the 2nd edition Core-Plus Mathematics texts. Check back periodically for software updates and helpful tutorial videos.
CPMP-Tools requires that Java software be installed on a Windows, Mac, or Linux OS prior to running. The free download can be obtained at www.java.com. (Cell phones and tablets—including the iPad—do not support Java in a way that will allow CPMP-Tools to run.)
Design Features
The software toolkit was developed from the ground up with specific curriculum applications in mind and then embedded in a ready-to-use manner into the curriculum.
Tools were developed for each strand of the curriculum.
Algebra tools include an electronic spreadsheet and a computer algebra system (CAS) that produces tables and graphs of functions, manipulates algebraic expressions, and solves equations and inequalities.The functionality of the CAS and other software tools increases with each course level. (Click the image to see full size.)
Geometry tools include an interactive drawing tool for constructing, measuring, manipulating, and transforming geometric figures, a simple object-oriented programming language for creating animation effects, and a set of custom tools for studying geometric models of physical mechanisms, tessellations, and special shapes. (Click the image to see full size.)
Statistics tools include tools for graphic display and analysis of univariate and bivariate data, simulation of probabilistic situations, and mathematical modeling of quantitative relationships. Software includes pre-loaded data sets appearing in the student texts. (Click the image to see full size.)
Discrete Math tools includes tools for discrete mathematical modeling, including constructing, manipulating, and analyzing vertex-edge graphs and their representations as adjacency matrices. (Click the image to see full size.)
Tools and their functionality are organized by course to focus on the intended mathematics and to reduce the steepness of the learning curve. (View the Web-based CPMP-Tools HELP system. Updated 4.06.11)
Tools share similar menu screens and interface promoting learning transfer from one tool to another.
Tools are built using Java WebStart, which permits safe, easy, and reliable distribution of software and software updates across different types of computers.
CPMP-Tools is available under a Gnu-public license.

Outside awards benefit undergraduate students by reducing and even eliminating your need to work to help meet your student budget. Your outside awards will reduce the Student Responsibility portion of your financial aid award dollar-for-dollar. Your Stanford scholarship will be reduced only if your outside awards exceed your Student Responsibility. Outside scholarships cannot, however, be used to replace any expected parent contribution if you are receiving need-based aid. The examples below show how outside awards can change your financial aid package.
Total Outside Awards | 0 | 2,500 | 5,000 | 7,500 |
Academic Year Earnings | 2,800 | 300 | 0 | 0 |
Summer Earnings | 2,200 | 2,200 | 0 | 0 |
Stanford Scholarship | 30,000 | 30,000 | 30,000 | 27,500 |
Federal/State Grants | 6,000 | 6,000 | 6,000 | 6,000 |
In certain cases you may not be able to replace the entire amount of the Student Responsibility with outside awards due to eligibility requirements for federal and state need-based aid funds. You will receive an updated copy of your individualized financial aid award letter when your aid is adjusted for outside awards.
Undergraduate students must notify our office of all outside awards received, including awards paid directly to you. Failure to report this information will result in losing eligibility for Stanford financial aid.
Please report your outside awards after May 15 using the "Report Outside Scholarships" link in the Finances section of the Student Center tab on Axess. You will find tools there for tracking the status of your outside awards.
Graduate students should report any expected outside awards in the Anticipated Resources section of the Graduate Application. If you receive outside awards after you have filed your application, you should report those awards to us using Axess. You will find a link for "Report Outside Scholarships" in the Finances section of the Student Center tab, where you will also find tools for tracking the status of your outside awards. Outside awards may affect your eligibility for loans and Federal Work-Study.

Rex Ryan is no dummy, and so after he read off the Jets' injury report at his press conference Wednesday, he grinned at the reporters and into the glare of the television cameras crowded into the media room at the Jets' training facility. "Fire away, let's go," Ryan said. "Ask the questions you want to ask." An awkward silence ensued. "I'm asking you -- you guys got the forum," Ryan said. "I'm not sitting in those chairs." Finally, the first question was asked: What did Ryan think of that morning's New York Daily News story in which anonymous players -- and team officials -- blasted backup quarterback Tim Tebow, who was called "terrible" by an unnamed defensive player and identified by others as a player who is not the answer for the Jets' offensive and quarterbacking woes? Once the first Tebow question was asked, the queries were impossible to stop. Of the 16 questions Ryan fielded Wednesday, 14...

Gullivers Travelsby Jonathan Swift
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:George Orwell considered Gulliver's Travels among the six most indispensable books in world literature. Recognized as a masterpiece since it first appeared in 1726, Swift's tale of a seaman's adventures is a brilliant, biting piece of satirical writing--aimed originally at Swift's contemporaries, but strikingly relevant to modern life and the unchanging defects of human nature. This edition is based on the 1735 edition, incorporating Swift's revisions to the earlier text.
Synopsis:Since Swift's novel "Gulliver's Travels" first appeared in 1726 it has been recognized as a classic and George Orwell rated it among the six most indispensable books in world literature.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 505
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tink48 Superior Location
We were last here in 2010 and it's as lovely a spot as we remember it. The location and ease to the Savannah Ferry is superior and Savannah is one of our favorite cities. My husband was here for a Medical Conference and obviously access to the convention center right next door was also a big plus.
Rated 5 out of 5 by charliebrown16 awesome hotel
Staff went above and beyond than expected. Very clean and nice
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnetteD Savannah westin
I stayed recently at the Westin in Savannah. The staff was excellent. From the moment I entered the staff met all needs. Even when faced with a problem, Alisa at the registration desk showed the utmost professionalism and was extremely kind and helpful. I travel to Savannah 3 or 4 times a year and I will definitely return to the Westin. Thank you for a wonderful visit.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Darmel49 First Rate Friendly and Accommodating
The site staff was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating at all times. The room was wonderfully comfortable. The reservation staff was helpful and understanding when our conference and travel plans were delayed due to an unexpected snow storm.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tdickens RJO show
The staff took us in as family,after the ice storm. Dawn Ryan was great.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PapaBert Great facility
Very well appointed and comfortable rooms.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda306 Exceeded my expectations
Everything was top notch. Loved being a water taxi ride away from downtown- historic district. Great property. Everyone on staff extremely polite and helpful.
Rated 5 out of 5 by VitoVino Great except pet fee
The hotel is exceptional,great service especially at Midnight Sun lounge. I have one negative comment and it's the 100 dollar pet charge,which also is subject to 2 different local taxes,bringing the total to 113.00 dollars. The hotel doesn't provide you with anything for the dog. I have stayed at 5 star hotels where the pet fee is only 25 dollars. Also my previous night 's stay was at a Sheraton in Alexandria Va ,a Starwood property and the charge was only 25.00

"I actually watched the game film two times, just trying to see what I could have done — what kind of mental lapse we had on defense that enabled them to get that shot at the end (of regulation that forced overtime)," said Lucious, whose team refuels and faces also-snakebitten Texas in Saturday's 1 p.m. Big 12 game at Hilton Coliseum. "We had a great chance, but we lost and now we've just got to move on." ISU goes from nearly ending the Jayhawks' now 31-game home win streak to trying to extend their own Hilton-based string of success to 16 straight triumphs. The high-scoring Cyclones (10-4, 0-1) will encounter a Longhorns team (8-7, 0-2) stung by two overtime losses, but leading the nation in field goal percentage defense at 33.6 percent. "They're locked in on the defensive end," said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg, whose team ranks sixth nationally in points per game at 82.5. "That's, a lot of times, been (Texas coach) Rick Barnes' identity." The Cyclones are the only team in the country to score at least 70 points in every game this season. They drained 14 3-pointers in the loss in Lawrence, but face a Longhorns team allowing a NCAA-low 23.2 percent of opponents' long range attempts to drop. "We're just going to come out and continue to do what we do," said ISU guard Chris Babb, who made three of 10 from long range Wednesday. "Move the ball. Take good shots. Be patient. I think we did a really good job of that at Kansas — we were really patient and got some good transition shots. So we're going to continue to build off that." Build, not dwell. "Trying to forget," freshman forward Georges Niang said. "But we have a bunch of winners in our circle over here. We're just on to the next one." So is Hoiberg, who said he's received lots of e-mails — many positive — after being second-guessed in the Twitterverse on his decision not to foul the Jayhawks before Ben McLemore banked in a game-tying 3-pointer in the waning seconds of regulation. He's seen it backfire the other way, too. "Would I do it again the same way?" Hoiberg said. "Obviously hindsight is a beautiful thing. I don't know. It's hard to say. You take each case individually. ... So, again, it's not an exact science — the exact science people are making it out to be." Delete, move on. "Our guys will be up, there's no doubt about that," Hoiberg said. "I have no question that these guys are excited to get back on the floor and put that last game behind us."
