I'm waiting on the Drinking around the World Showcase video...... I remember going into that shop on our last visit to Epcot, cool stuff. How long did it take to revive Glenn after he tried the snack?
Lou, that was an appet...yum...INTERESTING (yeah, that's it) video podcast of the Japan snacks. Brought back 4th grade memories of studying Japan and trying the dried squid which I remember being told was a snack eaten like popcorn in Japan (dried squid carts anyone?) And this video also answered another very important question for me, who is on the other side of that camera (Hi Glenn!).

I've actually sought out some of the "weird" candies and food at Epcot. I'm often pleased with just how good some of the food is. I love the candies in Norway in particular.
LOVED the podcast.
Captured the best in exploring EPCOT via sight/sound/and taste!
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.
Now I'm craving some crunchy crab snacks...Have to add those to my list when I head back out!
That four pack of cookie things looked good

Destination: Maui Article Source: Copyright © 2012 by Fodor's Travel, a division of Random House Inc. All rights reserved.
In summer, this weeklong international festival attracts big-name celebrities to Maui for cinema and soirees under the stars. Throughout the year, the Maui Arts & Cultural Center presents art-house films on selected evenings, often accompanied by live music, cocktails, and wine. www.mauifilmfestival.com.
Founded in 1974, this nonprofit performing-arts group offers fine productions, as well as dance and drama classes for children and teens. Recent shows have included Macbeth,Nutcracker Sweets, and Les Miserables.www.mauiacademy.org.
This lofty resort's lobby lounge is perfect when you want live Hawaiian music, a bit of hula, freshly prepared sushi, and artisanal cocktails all in one sitting. Gorgeous orange ceilings, stark-white stone columns and modern wicker furnishing pull off understated look quite well. The colorful sunset over Lanai isn't too shabby either. www.fourseasons.com.
By Kaanapali Beach, this luau excels in every category—breathtaking location, well-made food, smooth-flowing buffet lines, and a nicely paced program that touchcs on Hawaiian, Samoan, Tahitian, Fijian, Tongan, and Maori cultures. The finale features a solo fire-knife dancer. You'll feast on delicious Hawaiian delicacies like shoyu chicken, lomilomi (rubbed with onions and herbs) salmon, and Pacific ahi poke (pickled raw tuna, tossed with herbs and seasonings). The dessert spread consists of various chocolate, pineapple, and coconut indulgences. An open bar offers beer, wine, and the usual tropical concoctions. www.maui.hyatt.com.
This feast redefines the luau by crossing it with island-style fine dining in an intimate beach setting. Each course of this succulent sit-down meal expresses the spirit of specific island cultures—Hawaiian, Samoan, Aotearoan, Tahitian. Don't pass up the delicious desserts. Lahaina's gorgeous sunset serves as the backdrop to the accompanying show, which forgoes gimmicks and pageantry for an authentic cultural presentation of Polynesian chants and dances. "Lele," by the way, is a more traditional name for Lahaina. www.feastatlele.com.
At the Grand Wailea Resort and Spa, this show captivates with a contemporary interpretation of Hawaiian mythology and folklore. Indulge in pre-luau fun with Hawaiian games, lei making, and photo-ops with the cast, then witness the unearthing of the kalua pig from the underground oven. Traditional dances share a vision of the first Polynesian voyage to the island, and there are also dancers on stilts, an iridescent aerialist suspended by silk, and many elaborate costumes. As a finale, champion fire-knife dancer Ifi Soo brings the house down with a fiery display. www.honuaula-luau.com.
When ambience weighs heavy on the priority list, this spot at the Ritz-Carlton might just be the ticket. Nightly performances range from jazz to island rhythms. The menu includes such dishes as a fantastic seared filet mignon on a pretzel roll. Step onto the lanai for that plumeria-tinged Hawaiian air and gaze at the deep blue of the Pacific. www.ritzcarlton.com.
One of Maui's hottest tickets, Ulalena is a musical extravaganza that has received accolades from audiences and Hawaiian culture experts. The powerful ensemble (20 singer-dancers and five musicians) uses creative stage wizardry to give an enchanting portrayal of island history and mythology. Native rhythms from authentic and rare instruments are blended with heart-wrenching chants and aerialist precision, making the 75-minute production seem like a whirlwind. Beer and wine are for sale at the concession stand. Check out dinner-theater packages in conjunction with local restaurants. www.mauitheatre.com.
A 65-foot catamaran built specifically for Maui's waters, the Pride of Maui has a spacious cabin with live entertainment, dance floor, and large upper deck for unobstructed viewing. Evening cruises include top-shelf cocktails and an impressive spread of baby back ribs, grilled chicken, warm artichoke dip, Maui onion tartlets, and seasonal desserts. www.prideofmaui.com.
Sailing is at its best on this two-hour champagne cruise. The 50-foot Scotch Mist II, which holds just 25 passengers, gives you an intimate and exhilarating ride, with complimentary champagne, chocolate, juice, beer, and white wine. Private charters are available. www.scotchmistsailingcharters.com.

Having bought this after reading multiple rave reviews, this is definitely one of the easiest liquid liners I have ever used, as well as one of the most portable. I don't have the steadiest of hands, and this little pen allows for super easy application...I don't get crazy wiggly lines anymore, and thin lines are now a breeze! Ultra slimline and lightweight, it's easy to pop into even the tiniest of clutches for touch-ups.
Which brings me to its much lauded staying strength. While it is pretty easy to remove - soaking a Q-tip with an oil-based remover does the trick with no stains - it just isn't as smudge-proof as Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner. Perhaps my eyelids are just oilier than the average person's, but a faint smudge on my upper lid is visible after a short period of wear. Then again, it is heaps easier to remove than BB's gel eyeliner and it DOES last a lot longer on me than the average liner, so I deal with it by carrying around a Q-tip for touch-ups.
Price-wise, it is very affordable and widely available in Asian drugstores. Definitely a repurchase item!
I've tried both BK (black) and BK-1 (blackest black). This is the BEST liquid eyeliner I've used, since I started lining my eyes back in 2004. I've tried liquid eyeliners from Chanel, Dior, Maybelline, L'Oréal, Marjolica... There never was one that has a tip that stays fine after 1month of use and can provide the right amount of liquid. The click-pen type eyeliners from Chanel and Dior--both of which I've used constantly for about 2 years--typically pump out too much liquid... so much so that often, when I remove the liner at the end of the day, the liner comes our as 'small chunks' on the cotton pads! Marjolica was too light and transparent. L'Oréal felt liner was a failer.
I first tried Kate's super sharp in BK. This was good but I always felt the colour was too light and sometimes can oxidize and turn greenish at the end of the day. Then I realized one day super sharp actually comes in BK-1 which is blackest black. This is SUPER!
1) The colour intensity is just nice.
2) The tip stays sharp throughout the entire life of the liner. I change every 3-4months for hygiene purposes and because I use it almost everyday.
3) The liner stays on my lids the entire day. No smudges!
4) BK-1 liners come with tiny balls in the pen itself so you can 'shake' the ink. The liner never dispenses too much ink, meaning, you can never get that 'clumpy' liquid eyeliner effect which is plain over-the-board.
5) The price is unbelievable for such a good-quality liner. I always have at least 1-2 extra liners sitting in my makeup pouch, in case I run out and don't have time to go get it.
I think I'm currently using my 12th super sharp liner! It's a must stock-up item as it constantly runs out in stores!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Color: Blackest black, opaque in one swipe. Dries semimatte but not glossy either.
Longevity: Lasts all day long over UDPP, TFSI, etc. or even just a layer of BB long wear cream shadow, MAC paint, or other longwearing cream shadow. No flaking, no smudging, but does not require a cleansing oil to remove. I live in Seattle and am in the rain all the time, this never leaves black trails running down my face! This 0.6mL pen has lasted me more than 5 months of regular (not daily, but several times a week) use.
Packaging: Simple black plastic pen format, nothing fancy, but sturdy and gets the job done. The pen is equipped with a fine brush tip that is neither too rigid nor too flexible, just the right amount of give to it. I can make a thick or thin line by varying the pressure and the brush never gets snagged or tugs at my lids, and it is thin enough to let me color in the spaces between my lashes and get every last bit of my lashline, even the corners. This is also awesome for making winged cat-eye flicks at the outer corners, or drawing whisper-thin lines to accentuate/tightline on the bottom lashline. Fabulous.
Availability: Alas, this little gem is ridiculously hard to find outside of Japan/Asia. I ordered mine on eBay for ~$13 or 14 but it's well worth the cost for such a great liner! Also available from adambeauty, ichibankao, mihokoshop etc. but I find that eBay offered the best deal. YMMV.
Bottom line: great, longwearing, easy to use liner...if I were condemned to using only one liner for the rest of my life, I'd probably pick this!
Got this a year ago during my trip to Hong Kong and I'm so glad I did! My last eyeliner pen wass from MAC and I had some difficulty lining my eyes. Could never get a nice smooth straight line.When I used my KATE eyeliner, it made it so easy to line my eyes! I love it!The tip is the perfect size and the color is buildable which I don't mind. I bought mine for $8 which I think is a steal! But like what the others reviewers wrote is that it does leave a stain on your eyes after you remove it but it doesn't last long so I don't mind. I would definitely repurchase again and again!
Maybe I got a defective product... There are so many rave reviews about this but it just doesn't work for me. The color will somehow bleed into the tiny grooves of the skin. Also, while this dries very quickly and is therefore almost smudge proof, it's almost impossible to wash off! I tried my oil cleanser 3 times plus my eye makeup remover, but it doesn't come off completely. There's still a light greenish tint on my skin. I will stick to my MAC PowerPoint pencil.
I love this eyeliner for its -
1)thin line. I don't wear a full makeup, just foundation, eye brow, eyeliner. So the thin and neat lines are enough for me.
2) low price. not really cheap, but worthy. Paid $12+ shipping on eBay. I will definitely stock it up when I am back to HK.
3) long lasting but easy to remove. funny contradiction, but it can be easily washed off with warm water.
My first liquid liner, I find this not pigmented enough. And sometimes, it gets "stained" on my eyelids like how it would if you point it on the same spot on a white piece of fabric and watch the threads soak up the ink, spreading in an almost "chromatography" manner. Instead of using short strokes to draw lines, I usually just dot in between my lashes and the effect turns out great too. I am eyeing the gel liner next, hopefully it's as good as what I've read so far. :)
I chose this over the inkwell-style Quick Eyeliner because:
a) It sets immediately. Quick Eyeliner requires you to allow for a few seconds to let the liquid dry. If you're impatient and are not willing to sit there with your eyes closed to prevent liner from transferring onto your lids, you should go with Super Sharp. Quick Eyeliner was also excessively runny and difficult to get a clean line.
b) Micro-fine line. This is down to personal preference. The Quick Eyeliner produces a thicker line. I want a thinner line with a super fine brush that allows me to get as close to my lash line as possible.
c) Easier to control brush. Perhaps it's due to the pen format (Quick Eyeliner is an inkwell), but I had an easier time working with the pen as it allowed me to place my hand closer to my eyes.
d) Lasts longer than Quick Eyeliner. Quick Eyeliner came off immediately with 1 round of soap and water, Super Sharp took 2 cleans with soap and water. Both were tested on the back of my hand and washed simultaneously.
If you want a super rich, patent leather black, then Quick Eyeliner is definitely the darker of the two, but sacrificing longevity and ease of application.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this liquid eyeliner. It is super easy to control the line and it lasts really well. The only drawback is that it has to be layered for a dark effect, but it's no big deal. I will def buy again!
Purchased this in Taiwan when I was there for a holiday. Paid NT238 (around SGD$11/USD$8) for it at a Asian chain of drugstores (Watsons).
First of all, I'm a total eyeliner newbie. Have rarely used eyeliner before and my past trials has only resulted in super-smudged/unintentional smoky eyes.
I personally find this one does what it promises - it can achieve a very thin line (due to my ineptness, I usually still end up with uneven lines as I draw my eyeliner in 2 parts), but it's super easy to wet a cotton bud and rub the offending area away.
Have worn this in Singapore (where it's super humid all the time) and have slightly oily eyelids (did not put any primer beforehand) and find that this can last me through a typical day of subway-office-shopping mall-dinner etc.

Cardinals vs. Giants Is Third NLCS RematchPosted Saturday, October 13, 2012, at 9:39 PM
When the San Francisco Giants play host to the St. Louis Cardinals for the National League Championship Series, both teams will be stepping into familiar territory.
Prior to 2012, the teams have met twice in the NLCS: in 1987 and 2002. The three series have a number of things in common: 1.Both teams advanced to the World Series and lost in seven games. 2. Each lost to a franchise that had never won a world championship. 3. In neither series did the National League team have home field advantage. In 2012, this will not be the case as a result of the National League's victory in the 2012 All-Star Game. Following is a brief recap of each NLCS meeting. In 2002, the Cardinals and Giants met up to battle it out for a shot at the World Series. The Giants were dominant from Game 1. The Cardinals dropped the first two games at home--a "cardinal no-no" in postseason baseball. They managed to edge out the first game in San Francisco, but from that point on they just couldn't get the offense going enough to win. The Giants won games four and five by only one run each taking the series by a 4-1 margin. That was all they needed for their shot at glory. When they faced the Anaheim Angels for the World Series, the Giants hung close, but eventually lost it all in a decisive Game 7. The first time the two teams squared off in an NLCS was in 1987 and the series was much more exciting. They alternated games one through four, but the Giants were up 3-2 after the final game of the series at Candlestick Park. The Cardinals rallied upon their return to Busch Stadium to take games six and seven to win the series 4-3. The Cardinals trip to the World Series that year was no easier than the NLCS had been. They faced the Minnesota Twins who simply wouldn't go down. Each team won every home game in the series and the Twins finally won their franchise's first world championship inside the Metrodome in front of a crowd of 55,376. What are each team's chances in 2012? The Cardinals, who will be making their seventh NLCS appearance since 2000, will need to at least split in San Francisco because the return home will have them facing off against Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. The road won't be easy, but that seems to be when the Cardinals are at their best. The Giants, who will start and end the series on their home turf will not have an easy road ahead of them either. While they will have home field advantage, they two hottest pitchers won't be on the mound and they will have to face Lance Lynn (18-7) and Chris Carpenter. Carpenter may not have a regular season win under his belt, but the Giants can't take that for granted because he is a postseason machine. He loves the high pressure situations and even when he's not on top of his game he still manages to find a way to win games. Regardless, this NLCS matchup with a deeply rooted history between two of baseball's most storied franchises will definitely be worth watching. |

Wikitravel:French Wikitravel Expedition
Contents |
The French Wikitravel Expedition is an expedition to create a French language version of Wikitravel which would effectively be the second multilingual version of Wikitravel.
For more information on Multilingual Wikitravel Policy, see Wikitravel:Language version policy.
French is an important international language, being spoken in not only France and neighboring Switzerland and Belgium, but also Québec, several African countries, Laos, and some islands in Polynesia. A travel guide in French will make the world more accessible to Francophones.
The French Wikitravel has the following goals:
- To collect a good base of French users willing to take this project further
- To translate and localize the English Wikitravel into French.
- To create quality articles that will appeal to Francophone travellers, wherever they come from.
- To link these articles to English and Romanian versions and create an integrated multilingual Wikitravel.
- To empower other language groups to form their own Wikitravel.
- To contribute to English Wikitravel with quality articles about France, Switzerland, Québec, and anywhere else French is spoken.
See also Wikitravel:Language version policy for more information about the procedure of forming a French Wikitravel.
Completed: Gathering a team of users
To get this project started, we need at least 5 French-speaking users willing to contribute to French Wikitravel.
Please add your name below, by editing this page, if you support this project. You must have a valid user account with Wikitravel.
I agree to forming the French Wikitravel and am willing to contribute:
- Pierre Abbat 17:07, 22 Dec 2003 (PST)
- Mark 10:58, 15 Jan 2004 (EST)
- Yann 14:32, 18 Jan 2004 (EST)
- Pontauxchats 07:56, 20 Jan 2004 (EST)
- nikolai35 18:35, 5 Feb 2004 (EST)
Next Steps
After we have gathered a team of five or more users for French Wikitravel, the interface localization file will be translated (or modified from the one on Wikipedia), checked for correctness, and then we will vote for a go-between.
The localization file is at Wikitravel:LanguageFr.php; an initial version based on the French Wikipedia interface file is already at that spot. For comparison, the English file is at Wikitravel:LanguageEn.php. Major things to watch for:
- Replacing "Wikipedia" with "Wikitravel"
- Differences in license policy (GFDL versus CC by-sa)
Choosing a go-between
In order to make a successful, integrated French Wikitravel, we need to choose one of the five users who put their names down, and make them a go-between. The role of the go-between will be to act as a liaison between English and French Wikipedia, and therefore, he must be able to:
- Write English and French well
- Understand Wikitravel ideals, guidelines, goals and policies
- Make monthly reports about French Wikitravel to English Wikitravel
- Make monthly reports about English Wikitravel to French Wikitravel
- Contribute actively in French Wikitravel
The go-between will be chosen the democratic way: via voting
The five candidates for go-between are the users listed below. If you would like to vote one of these people, please put your username next to their name, in the Votes for section. If you would like to make a vote against someone, please write your username next to their name in the Votes against line and then a reason for this. To win, a go-between must have two votes for them, and no votes against them. Only people who nominated themselves under the "Gathering a team" section can vote. And remember, you cannot vote for yourself.
Pick a user who you would like to see as go-between:
- Vote for Pierre Abbat
- Votes for: Yann
- Votes against:
- Vote for Mark
- Votes for:
- Votes against:
- Vote for Yann
- Votes for:
- Votes against:
- Vote for Pontauxchats
- Votes for:
- Votes against:
- Vote for nikolai35
- Votes for:
- Votes against:
Voting will finish only once person listed above has voted - that is, Pierre, Mark, Yann, Pontauxchats, and Nikolai. Therefore, please put in your votes as soon as possible, because the Wikitravel in Romanian will becoming online sooner.
It would also be nice, but is not necessary, to have a go-between between the French Wikitravel and the Romanian Wikitravel.

Chris Grant on clock for biggest decision of his Cavaliers career
On Tuesday, laced with a more mature swag than we first saw three years ago, Nick Gilbert rolled in repping Cleveland with Machine Gun Kelly, his old man and a really excited local sports-talker and shook down David Stern, Adam Silver and the NBA establishment for another top pick.
After appearing disgusted to be seated among the losingest teams in the NBA, with good reason, the bowtie-wearing badass left with an asset that should help ensure that the Cavaliers do not return to the lottery stage in 2014.
But while winning each of the previous two NBA Draft Lottery's meant that your team would earn the right to select Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis respectively, this year it's anyone's guess.
That ultimate decision, thanks to Nick, now belongs to Chris Grant. His Cavaliers are on the clock, and however Grant chooses to use this newly acquired asset will ultimately define his career one way or another.
No pressure, bro.
But more than being forced to determine which player most deserves to be the No. 1 pick, the Cavs have an opportunity to simply select the one player in the entire draft that they would like to have on their team the most.
Meaning, just because Nerlens Noel is represented by the most powerful agency in the world in CAA, and managed to earn exclusive face-time during a lottery show preceding a draft where upwards of three players could be taken first overall, that doesn't necessarily mean that Grant has to take Nerlens at one.
He could, of course, but I'm not completely sold on the fact that the Cavaliers will.
To me, there are four different directions that Grant could go atop the draft that all yield distinctly different returns. I outlined each one below, along with my preliminary thoughts on said option.

Speck from La Quercia
Mountain meat.
If there was an award for funny food names this would definitely be a finalist.
Speck originates in the Alto Adige, the alpine region of the South Tirol in northern Italy (though this one is made in Iowa). This is mountain people's meat, meant to fortify. It's a lean piece of pork, cut from the rear leg, rubbed with sea salt and smoked over apple wood. Where prosciutto is delicate and subtle this is chewy and robust, earthy and rich, sweet and smoky.
It may not be as well known as some cured meats you know but don't let that stop you.
Like all their meats, La Quercia's speck is made from hogs raised naturally, without hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics.

Offbeat Dollars for Scholars
Offbeat Dollars for Scholars
If you're tall or can summon a duck, you've got a shot at financial aid. Does qo'mey poSmoH Hol ring a bell? It may be worth $500.
By Rebecca Trounson
Times Staff Writer
June 25, 2004
The annual duck celebration in Stuttgart, Ark., was winding down - the Queen Mallard beauty pageant was over and the world's best duck dog had been determined. Then Daniel Duke stepped onto the Main Street stage.
Duke, a teenage veteran of more than a dozen duck-calling contests, wowed the judges with his renditions of the four required blasts: hail, feed, comeback and mating. Duke, from the nearby town of Brinkley, triumphed - and bagged one of the nation's more unusual college scholarships.
"I knew I had a shot at it," the 19-year-old said of the $1,500 award, which he hopes to use to attend the University of Arkansas. "And I think it's pretty great you can get a scholarship for calling ducks."
Others might, too.
With the cost of a college education rising relentlessly, students are scrambling for scholarships. Some win awards based on financial need or exceptional smarts. Some are gifted athletes. Others get help from foundations, companies or service clubs.
But some, like Duke, are able to snag scholarships because of less conventional talents, interests or physical attributes.
For certain scholarships, for instance, it might be helpful to be tall or left-handed, short or heavy. Or to be skilled at designing and crafting stylish garments made of wool - or duct tape. Or to be deeply interested in the study of water bugs or winemaking, funerals or fungus.
Each issue, each interest, it seems, has its own awards.
There are scholarships for welders, fly fishers and pie makers, for golf caddies and skateboarders. There is one for pagans and another for parapsychologists. There is even one sponsored by fans of Klingons, the fictional bumpy-headed aliens of "Star Trek" fame.
One endowment fund is for needy music students who can sing or play the national anthem "with sincerity." Another seeks clean-living young people who do "not participate in strenuous athletic contests." (An occasional Frisbee toss is probably OK, its gatekeepers say.)
"Some of these [scholarships] are so specific, it's like you're going to find one that says the kid has to have one brown eye and one blue eye," said Delisa Falks, associate director of financial aid at Texas A&M University. Even at that, she added, chuckling, "you probably could."
Such offbeat scholarships, privately funded and often from bequests, tend to be small, bringing a recipient anywhere from $500 to a few thousand dollars.
Some high school counselors say the awards are hardly worth the trouble and encourage students to focus instead on more traditional grants.
But others say a few thousand dollars is nothing to sneeze at, especially for what, in some cases, may amount to an hour or two of effort. And right now, the experts say, is an excellent time for next year's high school seniors to launch their search.
Even the quirkiest scholarships "help reduce a student's loan indebtedness and are a great way for them to be recognized for their talents and abilities," said David S. Levy, director of financial aid at Caltech.
Tiffany Chioma Anaebere, for example, was online one night last year while she was a senior at King-Drew Medical Magnet High School in Los Angeles. She happened upon a scholarship for tall kids. Anaebere, who stands 5 feet 11, figured she had a chance. The minimum for female applicants was 5 feet 10 and, for males, 6 feet.
She got in touch with the scholarship's local sponsor, the California Tip Toppers Club ("World's Highest Society"), filled out the application - including a shortish essay on being tall - and fired it off. She won, earning $1,000 to help pay her way at Stanford University.
Anaebere, who just completed her freshman year, said the award was not the largest she won. Yet it came in handy, she said, and she gets a kick out of telling her college friends about it.
"It was definitely the oddest one I got," said Anaebere, 18. "It really fits the mold of being able to win a scholarship for almost anything."
In Stuttgart, billed as the "Rice and Duck Capital of the World," Pat Peacock helps organize both the town's annual duck fest and the contest named after her stepfather and mother, Chick and Sophie Major. The 30-year-old scholarship, Peacock says, is for duck-calling high school seniors with any higher education plans, whether university or barber college.
Duke, the 2003 winner, wants to study agricultural business. But first, he hopes to do a little duck-hunting.
At Juniata College in Pennsylvania, left-handers are in luck. A 1922 graduate who met her future husband, a fellow lefty, when they were paired in a tennis class bequeathed $24,000 to the college to establish a scholarship in their name.
Since the Frederick and Mary F. Beckley award was first given in 1979, at least one student a year has received it and sometimes as many as five, Juniata officials said. It is usually worth about $1,000 a year to each recipient.
Jeannie Miller, who got the "lefty scholarship," as it is known on campus, for the last three years, said she enjoyed telling newcomers about it. "People would say, 'Oh, my God! That's so cool!' " said Miller, a recent graduate.
To be eligible, students must have spent a year at Juniata, have good grades and meet other criteria. As to how the college confirms left-handedness, "We pretty much take them at their word," Juniata spokesman John Wall said. "They don't have to go out back and throw or anything."
Good thing.
Miller, who used to play softball, confesses that she bats right.
Other scholarships are sponsored by organizations that are themselves a bit offbeat.
This year, the Free Spirit Alliance, one of the nation's larger pagan groups, is sponsoring two $500 scholarships and raising the funds atypically too, with a tattoo design contest. Applicants need not be pagan, organizers say, but spiritual open-mindedness wouldn't hurt.
The alliance, whose members includes witches, druids and shamans, is earnest about its scholarships. "The quest for knowledge is very important," said Glen Marshall, a computer security specialist who is its treasurer.
In a similar vein, the Klingon Language Institute, founded in 1992 by fans of "Star Trek" and its warrior Klingon aliens, offers its own $500 scholarship.
The award, for an undergrad or graduate student in language or linguistics, is a nod to the institute's own mission to go where few have gone before, exploring and promoting the extensive language created for use in several "Star Trek" films.
Funding comes from sales of the group's translation of "Hamlet," iambic pentameter reportedly intact, into what members like to call "the original Klingon." The reference is to a sly joke in one of the films about how Shakespeare is best enjoyed in his native tongue.
Institute director Lawrence Schoen said the scholarship, which last year had no recipient and few applicants, may suffer a bit from what he delicately termed the "spitting and barking" issue, the funny noises would-be Klingons use to speak their language correctly.
Nonetheless, "we take the work with the language very seriously," said Schoen, a research psychologist and former college professor. He cited the institute's motto: "Language opens worlds." Or, in the (original) Klingon:
"qo'mey poSmoH Hol."
Finding and applying for any scholarship - oddball, obscure or mainstream - has never been easier, say Caltech's Levy and others. "I've had students sit down at a computer, put in a few hours' work and pick up $10,000," Levy said. "Every bit of it helps."
Websites such as FastWeb and FinAid, subsidiaries of Monster.com, and another run by the College Board, owner of the SAT entrance exam, ask students to answer a few questions online. Then, at no charge, they guide them toward scholarships that may fit their interests or talents.
Students should be wary, though, of websites or programs that charge for scholarship information or applications, said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid. "If they have to pay to get money, it's probably a scam," he said.
Certain legitimate scholarships have evolved over time.
At Pennsylvania's Bucknell University, officials say the Gertrude J. Deppen scholarship was established in 1967 by Joseph H. Deppen in memory of his sister. The fund, Deppen specified, is for needy students who do not drink, smoke or use drugs and who come from one particular high school in Pennsylvania's coal country.
Because that school, Mount Carmel, is a football powerhouse, Deppen also required that those receiving his scholarship should not take part in "strenuous athletic contests," explained Linda Reinaker, Bucknell's manager of endowed gifts.
"The way we interpret that now is that they just don't participate in varsity sports," Reinaker said. "Intramural teams are OK."
As for the clean-living aspect, Reinaker joked that she does not make spot-checks at recipients' dorm rooms, but students are warned to avoid public infractions.
For some of the most lucrative scholarships, the main requirement - and the one that's hardest to meet - is the right name.
In 1978, for example, a young woman named Susan Hawley was a freshman at Texas A&M. She fell in love with a cotton and cattle farmer named Joe Scarpinato Jr., married him and dropped out after one year. From time to time, she thought about going back to school but knew her growing family could never afford it.
Eighteen years later, a letter arrived at her home in Hearne, Texas. "This man had left over half a million [dollars] to A&M and he wanted people with his name to go to college," she said. "They were trying to get in touch with everyone who had that name."
Her name, it turned out.
The endowment established by Lee Scarpinato, an A&M alum, is for any qualified undergrad, graduate or professional school student with his last name, by birth or marriage. It covers all tuition and fees, along with an allotment for room and board, an amount now worth about $12,000 annually, said Falks, the fund's coordinator.
After getting the scholarship, Susan Scarpinato went back to school, earning a bachelor's degree in agricultural development in 2002. She will complete her master's degree next year.
Now her son Joey, 18, has been accepted at A&M and also will benefit. "It's just a godsend," said Joey, who will start at the university this fall.
But his mother, sounding apologetic, admits to a quibble with the rules: What if her daughter, say, were to marry, take her husband's name and then wanted to go to A&M? And what about their kids? None would be eligible for the scholarship without that magic name.
Susan Scarpinato says she understands, though. "You know, it was his money and he did this incredible thing. And what he really wanted, I think, was for everyone to hear the name - 'Scarpinato' - called out when you walk across that stage."
So far, officials said, the Scarpinato scholarship has never gone wanting. That's not the case, though, at Loyola University of Chicago.
There, a lack of applicants for one highly specialized endowment has prompted admissions officers to page through out-of-town phone books whenever they travel, said Edward Moore, the university's scholarship director.
"They're trying to find Zolps," he said.
Or more specifically, eligible students who can prove two things: that they are Catholic and, since birth, have been named Zolp. Anyone who can and is otherwise eligible for admission can get a scholarship that covers tuition at the private Jesuit college, worth nearly $22,000 next school year.
"We'd really like to spend that money," Moore said.
Seven or eight years ago, in a more Zolp-abundant era, there were actually two enrolled at once. But the slots have stood empty in recent years.
"Three years ago, we had a Zolp prospect," Moore recalled. "But you know what? He got a golf scholarship and went somewhere else. Incredible."

Transportation Development District
Creating A TDD
A Transportation Development District (TDD) may be created to act as the entity responsible for developing, improving, maintaining, or operating one or more "projects" relative to the transportation needs of the area in which the District is located. A TDD may be created by request petition filed in the circuit court of any county partially or totally within the proposed district. There are specific rules that provide filing procedures and content requirements of TDD creating petitions. Your Department of Economic Development will be happy to provide details of these rules upon request. Link here for full details...
State Or Local Government Project Support
Before beginning to build or fund any project, the TDD will submit the proposed project to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for its approval. If the proposed project is not intended to be part of the state highways or transportation system, the TDD will also submit its plans for approval by the local transportation authority that will become owner of the project. A "local transportation authority" may be any local public authority(s) or political subdivision(s) having jurisdiction over any transportation service, improvement, or infrastructure in which the TDD is located.
Typical Budget Items
A TDD serves to fund, promote, plan, design, construct, improve maintain or operate one or more "projects" or to assist in such activity. "Projects may include any:
Financial Resources
Funding of TDD projects may be accomplished through the creation of District-wide special assessments or property or sales taxes with a required majority voter or petition approval. Other funding sources requiring voter majority approval may include establishing tolls or fees for the use of the project. The TDD may also issue bonds, notes, and other obligations in accordance with the authority granted to the entity for such issuance.
Effective, modern, and safe transportation systems and related infrastructure are fundamental to the economic vitality of Missouri, its communities, and regional areas. The Missouri Department of Economic Development can assist your community or region by providing information and resources you can use to create a Transportation Development District to serve the needs of your area.

The Structure of PknB Extracellular PASTA Domain from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Suggests a Ligand-Dependent Kinase Activation
Structure, Volume 18, Issue 5, 12 May 2010, Pages 606-615
Philippe Barthe, Galina V. Mukamolova, Christian Roumestand and Martin Cohen-Gonsaud
SummaryPknB is a transmembrane Ser/Thr protein kinase that defines and belongs to an ultraconserved kinase subfamily found in Gram-positive bacteria. Essential for Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth, its close homolog in Bacillus subtilis has been linked to exit from dormancy. The kinase possesses an extracellular region composed of a repetition of PASTA domains, believed to bind peptidoglycan fragments that might act as a signaling molecule. We report here the first solution structure of this extracellular region. Small-angle X-ray scattering and nuclear magnetic resonance studies show that the four PASTA domains display an unexpected linear organization, contrary to what is observed in the distant protein PBP2x from Streptococccus pneumoniae where two PASTA domains fold over in a compact structure. We propose a model for PknB activation based on a ligand-dependent dimerization of the extracellular PASTA domains that initiates multiple signaling pathways.

Allosteric Activation Mechanism of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Receptor Ser/Thr Protein Kinase, PknB

T. Noelle Lombana, Nathaniel Echols, Matthew C. Good, Nathan D. Thomsen, Ho-Leung Ng, Andrew E. Greenstein, Arnold M. Falick, David S. King and Tom Alber
SummaryThe essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ser/Thr protein kinase (STPK), PknB, plays a key role in regulating growth and division, but the structural basis of activation has not been defined. Here, we provide biochemical and structural evidence that dimerization through the kinase-domain (KD) N-lobe activates PknB by an allosteric mechanism. Promoting KD pairing using a small-molecule dimerizer stimulates the unphosphorylated kinase, and substitutions that disrupt N-lobe pairing decrease phosphorylation activity in vitro and in vivo. Multiple crystal structures of two monomeric PknB KD mutants in complex with nucleotide reveal diverse inactive conformations that contain large active-site distortions that propagate >30 Å from the mutation site. These results define flexible, inactive structures of a monomeric bacterial receptor KD and show how "back-to-back" N-lobe dimerization stabilizes the active KD conformation. This general mechanism of bacterial receptor STPK activation affords insights into the regulation of homologous eukaryotic kinases that form structurally similar dimers.

Structural Insight into the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0020c Protein and Its Interaction with the PknB Kinase

SummaryThe protein Rv0020c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, also called FhaA, is one of the major substrates of the essential Ser/Thr protein kinase (STPK) PknB. The protein is composed of three domains and is phosphorylated on a unique site in its N terminus. We solved the solution structure of both N- and C-terminal domains and demonstrated that the approximately 300 amino acids of the intermediate domain are not folded. We present evidence that the FHA, a phosphospecific binding domain, of Rv0020c does not interact with the phosphorylated catalytic domains of PknB, but with the phosphorylated juxtamembrane domain that links the catalytic domain to the mycobacterial membrane. We also demonstrated that the degree and the pattern of phosphorylation of this juxtamembrane domain modulates the affinity of the substrate (Rv0020c) toward its kinase (PknB).

The eukaryotic-like Ser/Thr protein kinases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

In bacteria, extracellular signals are generally transduced into cellular responses via a two-component system. However, genome sequence data have now revealed the presence of 'eukaryotic-like' protein kinases and phosphatases. Mycobacterium tuberculosis appears to be unique among bacteria in that its genome contains 11 members of a newly identified protein kinase family. These M. tuberculosis eukaryotic-like protein kinases could be key regulators of metabolic processes, including transcription, cell development and interactions with host cells.

The first time I saw Andrew Nicholson in person, we were sitting in the cafeteria at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany. My fellow Chronicle cohorts started giggling, blushing and making suggestive comments as I tried to understand what the big deal was about this gray-haired eventer seated two tables away.
"But he's old!" I insisted. They laughed, patted me on the head and made a few more remarks about "silver foxes" before we went back to eating our lunch.

With only 56 yards rushing last week against Detroit, the Buccaneers' coaches and players both know things must improve for Tampa Bay to have any success this season. Jeremy Trueblood and Davin Joseph spoke about what went wrong last week and what they are doing to improve.
In the aftermath of Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Detroit Lions, debates on what went wrong were discussed on the radio, around the water cooler at the office, and even within the halls at One Buccaneer Place. Of all the glaring flaws in the game, the inability to establish any type of running attack stood out the most.
After rushing for 2,001 yards last season and averaging 4.6 yards per carry, Tampa Bay started the 2011 campaign off with only 56 yards, including a 15-yard scamper by Josh Freeman who was the team's leading rusher with 26 yards on four carries. The frightening trend of the quarterback being the leading rusher for the Buccaneers started in Week 1 of the preseason.
Tampa Bay's offensive line knows this must be corrected for the Buccaneers to have any success this season. Offensive tackle Jeremy Trueblood talked with PewterReport.com about his thoughts on what the issues have been. Trueblood doesn't think the Buccaneers are that far away from turning things around.
"There is nothing there big to change, " Trueblood said. "It's all small things. It's not like we have to change our philosophy or anything. We just have to go out there and do what we can do. Not play timid. Just go out there and do what we do everyday in practice. We need to do it right away and not ease our way into it."
Of all the units on a football team the offense line is probably the group most affected by a single break down that can disrupt an entire play. Trueblood agreed and says that has been part of the lack of success.
"Most of the time we have a whole general plan us five have to accomplish. If one guy fails that is going to create a chink like in a chain. If one guy breaks down then that's a hole [opened for the defense]. That's why everyone has to use good footwork [and] technique. There's so much that goes into it. But basically we all need to be successful for the play to work."

A Fresh Start for US-Canada Relations: "A great sense of positive anxiousness"
Nov 24, 2008 — President-elect Barack Obama has a lot of challenges waiting for him when he takes office in January. But official relations between the US and Canada are in relatively good shape. The two countries have partnered closely in recent years on domestic security, the war in Afghanistan, and international trade. Still, many Canadians have been eager for a change in Washington, on issues ranging from the economy to global warming. As part of our series, A Fresh Start, Brian Mann spoke with Dr. Christopher Kirkey, who heads the Center for the Study of Canada at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Economist Intelligence Unit
Founded | 1946 |
Headquarters | London, England |
Subsidiaries | Bazian, Clearstate |
The Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU) is an independent business within The Economist Group.[1]
Through research and analysis, The EIU offers forecasting and advisory services to its clients. It provides country, industry and management analysis worldwide and incorporates the former Business International Corporation, a U.K. company acquired by the parent organization in 1986. It is particularly well known for its monthly country reports, five-year country economic forecasts, country risk service reports, and industry reports. The company also specialises in tailored research for companies that require analysis for particular markets or business sectors. 2006 marked the 60th anniversary of The Economist Intelligence Unit's inception.
The Economist Intelligence Unit also produces regular reports on "liveability" and cost of living of the world's major cities, which receive wide coverage in international news sources.[which?] The Economist Intelligence Unit's Quality-of-Life Index is another noted report[according to whom?].
Its current Managing Director is Robin Bew, formally the company's Editorial Director & Chief Economist.
In December 2012, The Economist Intelligence Unit acquired Bazian, which specialises in the analysis and supply of clinical evidence on health services, treatment and health technologies to assess clinical effectiveness and value for money. Bazian was founded by Vivek Muthu and Anna Donald in 1999. Bazian is headquartered in London.
In April 2012, the Economist Intelligence Unit acquired Clearstate, a market intelligence firm offering customised strategic advisory and primary research solutions specifically addressing the healthcare and life sciences domains within the Asia Pacific area. Clearstate was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Singapore.
In November 2010 The Economist Intelligence Unit released the Access China White Paper profiling the economies of the top 20 emerging cities in China, directed by Stephen Joske, China Forecasting, for The Economist Intelligence Unit. It was created to support a report conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit's Access China Service, 'CHAMPS: China's fastest-growing cities'. These cities are favoured for several reasons, including the breadth of business opportunities available, the on-going construction boom, rising home and vehicle ownership and spending on personal appliances. The report coined the acronym CHAMPS (Chongqing, Hefei, Anshan, Maanshan, Pingdingshan and Shenyang).[2]
Democracy Index[edit]
In 2006 (with updates in 2008, 2010 and 2011) The Economist Intelligence Unit released The Democracy Index, an index compiled by examining the state of democracy in 167 countries, attempting to quantify this with an Index of Democracy which focused on five general categories: electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, functioning of government, political participation and political culture.
Government Broadband Index (gBBi)[edit]
In January 2011, the Unit released the Government Broadband Index (gBBi) that assesses countries on the basis of government planning, as opposed to current broadband capability. With ambitious targets for both the speed and coverage of next-generation broadband networks, the developed countries of South-east Asia scored highest. According to the index Greece is the worst-performing country measured, owing to its relatively low coverage target and drawn-out deployment schedule. Greece also suffers due to the considerable size of its public-funding commitment as a percentage of overall government budget revenues, and because its plan does little to foment competition in the high-speed broadband market.[3]
