Ridge is stunned to see Sheila, who is holding a handgun. Sheila cannot believe the ineptitude of her henchmen. She orders Anna to leave, but warns her to keep her mouth shut. Sheila knows that Ridge wishes she were dead, but insists that what happened to Taylor was an accident. She explains to Ridge that if he wants to see his family again, he'll do exactly as she asks. Nick sees an opportunity and jumps from the shadows. A fight ensues, but Ridge and Nick freeze when they hear a gunshot and Sugar appears. Sheila pulls off Nick's disguise. Nick informs Sheila that Massimo contacted the embassy, but Sheila assures them that she'll be long gone before anyone finds them. Brooke is determined to find a way to help Ridge, despite Massimo's warnings. She realizes Anna recognizes Nick and Ridge when she shows her the photos of them. Brooke begs Anna to reveal where Ridge is, but Anna is fearful. Deacon takes Macy to interview for a gig at Ozzz, but is stunned when he finds out Oscar is the owner. Oscar tries to convince Deacon that the place is legit and his troubles in Vegas are over, but Deacon isn't interested. Oscar promises he'll do anything they want if Macy will agree to sing at his club.

In the bar, Brooke begged Anna to tell her where Nick and Ridge are. Brooke made sure that Anna Knew that Ridge is the father of three children, and that their mother had been killed. Brooke also revealed to Anna that she and Ridge had just been re-married after many years of broken dreams for both of them. Anna accidentally mentioned that a woman named Sheila was behind the kidnapping. Anna told her that she feared for her own life if she helped Brooke. Brooke promised Anna that Massimo, a powerful man, could protect Anna from the kidnappers. Out of fear, Anna refused to help Brooke.
Meanwhile, Sheila tied Nick up and made him part of the ordeal. Ridge could not understand how Sheila was out of prison. Sheila admitted that she got out after paper work got botched. Ridge taunted Sheila about Taylor's murder. Sheila denied that it was murder. In Sheila's opinion, it was only a tragic accident that Taylor had been shot and killed. Sheila revealed to Ridge that she knew he had remarried Brooke. Sheila questioned just how miserable Ridge's life had actually been after Taylor died? Sheila's friend warned Sheila that Ridge and Nick were never supposed to see them; now they know how Sheila escaped from prison. Nick deduced that Sheila's friend was the warden at the prison. Sheila rationalized the kidnapping to Ridge by explaining that she wanted a chance to start over.
At Oscar's club, Deacon voiced his concern over Macy singing in the club. He was concerned that Macy would be in danger by people from Oscar and Deacon's past in Las Vegas. Oscar guaranteed Deacon that the club is free of the criminal element. Macy and Deacon agreed to Oscar's deal.
Back in the bar, Brooke desperately tried to find someone who knew the whereabouts of Nick and Ridge. Brooke noticed on the bar, there was a napkin with the name Sheila written on it!

Oscar is overseeing the crew's work on the club when Bridget comes by with doughnuts for the workers. She tells him she heard the advertisements on the radio saying the Macy was the headliner for the grand opening. Oscar tells her that he reached an agreement with Deacon, and that he's letting go of the past. Bridget is very proud of him and tries to calm his nerves about the opening. He invites her to be with him at the opening, and lets her know that it may be a late evening. As Bridget leaves to go to work, she gives him a kiss for good luck.
As Macy awakes, Deacon is excited about the day ahead of them. Suddenly they hear Sally, who is outside with a blow horn announcing Macy's comeback performance to the neighborhood. Deacon brings Sally and Clarke inside. Both are very proud of Macy. Clarke brings two gowns for Macy to pick from, which he made especially for her. After Sally and Clarke leave, Macy tells Deacon that she's never been happier.
Stephanie comes into Amber's office where Amber is packing her things. Stephanie tells her that she doesn't have to leave. Amber confides in Stephanie that she's made her mistakes and she can't force Rick to see her. Amber is certain that leaving Forrester is the right thing to do. Stephanie begs her to talk to Rick, but Amber says that she loves him too much to ask him to forgive her again. As Rick stands in the hallway and listens at the door, Amber tells Stephanie that she has to move on and give Rick a chance to move on too. Stephanie realizes that Amber has made up her mind, but reminds her that she'll always be a part of the family, and to call if she needs anything. As Amber leaves, she passes by Rick in the hall, who doesn't try to stop her.
Oscar is still working at the club when "friends" from his casino days in Vegas appear. Jimmy is interested in what Oscar has going on, but Oscar reminds him that he paid his debt to Jimmy and they no longer have any business together. Oscar asks the men to leave, and on their way out, they tear a poster of Macy, promising that this will be a grand opening Oscar will never forget.

Bridget told Samantha that Ozzie had invited her to be his guest at the opening of his club. At the club, Ozzie remembered that two members of the mob from Las Vegas had threatened him.
Sally and Clarke arrived at the opening of Ozzie's club to see Macy perform. Sally told Ozzie that she is certain that Macy will be a big hit at the club. Sally was rattled when she noticed Darla and Thorne arrive together. Sally told Thorne and Darla to leave.
At home before the show, Deacon gave Macy a gift. The gift was to celebrate Macy's first singing appearance with Deacon as her manager. Macy and Deacon prepared to leave for the club. As they were leaving, Deacon noticed that the answering machine had a message on it. He did not listen to the message. The message was Ozzie telling Deacon to call him prior to arriving at the club with Macy.
Samantha and Bridget arrived at Ozzie's club. When Samantha met Ozzie, she questioned whether Bridget and Ozzie were friends or if they shared powerful chemistry?
Deacon pointed out to Macy that Darla and Thorne had arrived at the club together. Macy was surprised to see Darla and Thorne together, but decided not to let them upset her. A few minutes later, Thorne and Macy went backstage to talk to Macy. Darla told Macy that she has always been her best friend and she only wanted to wish Macy the best. Macy was gracious. She told Darla and Thorne that she was happy that they were both there to see her perform.
The crowd seemed to love Macy as she sang. Ozzie noticed the two mobsters inside his club. Ozzie was horrified to see that they were up to some kind of trouble.

Macy's finale ends tragically when the chandelier comes crashing down on top of her head. Ozzie had seen the thug unscrewing the bolts to the fixture, and tried to make his way through the crowd to push Macy out of the way. Unfortunately, he doesn't get there in time. Macy is rushed by ambulance en route to the hospital with Deacon at her side.
When they arrive, Deacon reflects on conversations he had with Macy and her passion for getting her singing career going, while holding on to her new family. Sally and Clark arrive at the hospital. Everybody is upset because they don't have any answers about what caused the accident. Ozzie comes to the hospital with Bridget. Deacon confronts Ozzie who tells him that he saw the guy responsible for hurting Macy, and that it wasn't an accident. When he tells Deacon that Jimmy Walter was behind Macy's accident, and that Ozzie had earlier warning because he had been threatened, Deacon goes ballistic.
Brooke returns to the hotel where she learns that Massimo left to try to rescue his sons. She's even more upset because she knows what Massimo doesn't, that Sheila is behind the kidnapping. Brooke tries to explain to Charles that Sheila is crazy. She tells him the story behind Sheila's killing of Taylor, wounding Brooke, losing her daughter and blaming Ridge and Massimo for all the depressing things that have happened in her life. Charles shocks Brooke by telling her that Nick is with Ridge. Charles doesn't buy Brooke's theory about Sheila until he receives a fax photo intended to verify that Sheila is still in prison. Brooke looks at the picture and tells Charles the person in the photo is not Sheila.
Massimo also doesn't know that Sheila has her own plans for what will happen when she comes face to face with him. Sheila prepares for her meeting, putting a gun in her bag. She says she's waited a long time to confront Massimo. The entire kidnapping plan has been about getting revenge against Massimo. Two of Sheila's thugs arrive to pick up the ransom money from Massimo. Massimo insists they take him to see his sons, and if they do, he will give them the 10 million dollars to split between themselves and nobody else needs to know. They tell him it's too late because the person in charge already knows. With this statement, Sheila comes out of the darkness to tell Massimo not everybody is as disloyal as he is.

Mayor 'overwhelmed' as thousands take part in Sky Ride
The Mayor of Leicester has said he is "overwhelmed" by the number of people who took part in the fifth annual Sky Ride in the city.
Thousands of people took to the streets, which were closed off to traffic for the day, to cycle the 3.7 mile route.
Sir Peter Soulsby also said it was "amazing" to have been able to ride through the city's Curve Theatre, which opened its doors to give the Sky Riders a rare opportunity to cycle through the building.

Now it gets tricky. In theory, drawing up a grand slam tennis schedule is pretty easy: the first round takes two days (half the bracket one day, half the next, for both the men and women), the second round takes two days, the third round takes two days, and you rest on Sunday. But Wimbledon takes place in London in June. The odds of the tournament schedule not getting sidetracked by rain are worse than the odds of an American male winning Wimbledon in 2012.
(Okay, that was mean.)
Anyway, the scheduling gymnastics begin Monday, as 16 Tuesday matches -- seven on the men's (gentlemen's) side and nine on the women's (ladies') -- either need to be started or completed after rain delayed the proceedings. So Wednesday will see an interesting mix of first- and second-round matches. Here are some Wednesday matches to watch, whether they actually take place on Wednesday or not.
1. Gentlemen's Second Round: No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. Ryan Harrison (Centre Court)
Odds of Wednesday completion: minimal. It is the fourth and final match scheduled to start on Centre Court.
As I mentioned earlier this week, the 20-year old Harrison has been zeroing in on a big upset for a while now, stealing sets from highly-ranked players here and there despite continuously awful slam draws. Of course, there is quite a leap involved in going from losing in four sets to Jo-Wilifried Tsonga to beating Djokovic, the world No. 1 and defending Wimbledon champion. Still, even if he loses, Harrison is worth watching because he is still only 20, his game is interesting and well-rounded, and he has improved by leaps and bounds just over the last year or so.
The two have played just once: Djokovic won, 6-2, 6-3 at Cincinnati in 2011. Djokovic dominated Harrison's serve; Harrison won just 50 percent of his first-serve points and 40 percent of his second-serve points and faced 12 break points in just eight service games. Harrison's serve has improved a big in 2012 -- he now wins 80 percent of his overall service games compared to 74 percent last year. He will probably lose, but this one should be intriguing regardless.
2. Ladies' Second Round: No. 8 Angelique Kerber vs. Ekaterina Makarova (Court No. 2)
Odds of Wednesday completion: minimal. It is the fourth and final match scheduled to start on Court No. 2, and there are two men's (gentlemen's) matches scheduled before it.
Angelique Kerber has surged of late. The 24-year old from Germany ranked 106th at the end of 2009 and 32nd at the end of 2011 but currently finds herself eighth after winning two WTA events and making the French Open quarterfinals. She got a tough Wimbledon draw, however: not only did she end up in Maria Sharapova's section of the draw, but she has to face an Australian Open quarterfinalist, Makarova, in the second round. Makarova is up to 44th in the world, powered both by her nice Aussie run (she beat three seeds, including Serena Williams, before falling to Sharapova) and her 6-2 record on grass. One of her two losses, however, came to Kerber, 6-2, 6-4 at Eastbourne. The two have played three times, and Makarova has won four of seven sets overall, but while Makarova got a faster start to her career, Kerber has caught up.
3. Gentlemen's Second Round: Ernests Gulbis vs. Ernests Gulbis (vs. Jerzy Janowicz) (Court No. 17)
Odds of Wednesday completion: good. This is the second of just three matches scheduled for Court No. 17.
I said yesterday that tennis is very, very mental. No one knows this better than Ernest Gulbis, the 23-year old from Latvia who looked incredible in taking down former Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych in the first round on Monday. Anyone watching that match had to be confounded, not by Berdych losing, but by the fact that Gulbis had advanced to the second round of just one of his last 10 slams and hadn't advanced past the second round of one since 2008. that guy? With that forehand? He can't win anything? It just makes no sense.
So now Gulbis has to attempt an encore. His opponent, 21-year old Jerzy Janowicz, is enormous (6'8) but has yet to win much. He currently ranks 136th, and this is his first slam. Gulbis should be able to handle the youngster relatively easily … but can he handle his own game? Can he maintain this level? If so, the draw is wide open.
4. Ladies' Second Round: No. 5 Sam Stosur vs. Arantxa Rus (Court No. 1)
Odds of Wednesday completion: good. It's the first match of the day on Court No. 1. In a way, this match is more Stosur vs. Stosur as well. When Sam Stosur is on, she is one of the most powerful, dominant players on the tour. But when the wheels come off, it takes her a long time to recover. Rus, just 21, is coming off of a nice appearance at the French Open (she made the fourth round) and is more than capable of taking advantage if Bad Sam shows up.
(Rus is also apparently not named after tennis great Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, which completely wrecks the narrative I was going to unroll here. But she's still from a town called Monster, Holland, so there's that.)
5. Ladies' Second Round: Jamie Lee Hampton vs. Heather Watson (Court No. 2)
What this match lacks in star power (Hampton is currently ranked 100th in the world, Watson 103rd), it could make up for in pure energy. Watson, a 20-year old Brit, thrilled the home crowd by destroying No. 55 Iveta Benesova, 6-2, 6-1 on Monday. Similarly, she won her only meeting with Hampton, a 22-year old American, 6-1, 6-2 in Auckland last year. But Hampton's aggressive, powerful game got her past No. 27 seed Daniela Hantuchova in straight sets on Monday. Both women potentially played above their heads on Monday; if they do so again, this could be a fantastic match. (And if only one person stays at this level, it will be a short one.)

CHULA VISTA (CNS) - A preliminary hearing was scheduled to begin at the South Bay Courthouse Tuesday for a former tutor at a Chula Vista elementary school and volunteer football coach accused of repeatedly molesting a young relative.
Carlos Isac Ojeda is charged with five felony counts of sexual abuse against a minor.
A judge will decide at the end of the preliminary hearing whether there's enough evidence to order the 20-year-old defendant to stand trial. If convicted, Ojeda faces 15 years to life in prison.
Ojeda is suspected of sexually assaulting the child at least four times, starting in July 2011, according to Chula Vista police Capt. Gary Ficacci, who declined to disclose the alleged victim's gender or relationship to the suspect. The captain would only say the child was under 10.
At the time of his arrest last June, Ojeda tutored on a contract basis at Lauderbach Elementary School. The alleged victim is not a student at the school or a member of the team Ojeda coaches.
Ojeda was being held at the South Bay Detention Facility in Chula Vista in lieu of $800,000 bail, according to jail records.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Minnesota and Stanford face off in Thursday's NIT title game looking to prove how far they've come.
The Cardinal played in Madison Square Garden in November, losing a six-point lead in the last 4½ minutes to fall to Syracuse in the NIT Season Tip-Off finals. The Golden Gophers have repeatedly had to adjust after key players went down with injuries.
Minnesota freshman point guard Andre Hollins scored 20 points in Tuesday's semifinal win over Washington. Coach Tubby Smith says: "We want the ball in his hands because he's making very good decisions with it."
In the semifinals against Massachusetts, Stanford let a big lead slip away, but this time bounced back. Coach Johnny Dawkins says he could "see our growth in our young players that we were able to respond."

THE VIVA World Cup, one of the most important sporting events for nations unaffiliated with FIFA, kicked off for the first time in Kurdistan Region, and promised to be a momentous spectacle.
The Kurds, losing finalists at the previous two tournaments, host the competition for footballing-sides that for whatever reason are not recognized by FIFA, with the local government generously covering all accommodation expenses.
The teams competing in the tournament are Kurdistan Region as hosts, Zanzibar, Provence, Occitania, Darfur, Raetia, North Cyprus, Western Sahara and Tamil Eelam.
In a press conference attended by the Kurdistan Football Federation (KFF) president, Safin Kanaby and the NF Board general Jean Luc Kit, the draw for the event was announced on May 27th at the Franso Hariri Stadium in Erbil.
Kurdistan, which plays against Western Sahara in the opening match, is placed alongside Occitania in Group A.
Meanwhile, Group B consists of three newcomers, with relatively experienced Zanzibar taking on Raetia, a provincial segment within Switzerland and Tamil Eelam, an area within Sri Lanka who has never played an international match.
Group C sees two more debutants, with the non-FIFA high-flyers Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus facing Darfur, a charity-funded venture with the new international side from Africa playing their first match at the tournament, while the French region of Provence rounds up the tournament line-up.
On the surprisingly quick route to the Final on June 9th, the teams will be battling to come top of their Groups, with the 3 winners and best runner-up progressing to the Semi-finals.
NF Board general Jean Luc Kit said "Persuading the teams to participate in the tournament was not an easy task at all, but it took a lot of time. We were finally able to bring nine teams to Kurdistan. I am sure Kurdistan will be successful in hosting the events as everything is set up and it looks like things will go smoothly. Kurdish football is growing just like how the economy is growing,"
According to Kit, NF Board sent an invitation letter to FIFA president Joseph Platter to attend the opening match, but he apologized due to being busy with European Cup matches which are going to take place this month. "Platter hopes success for the tournament responding to our invitation letter," Kit said
When asked why the draw was announced in the absence of the teams' representatives, Kit said "It would cost a lot of money for the teams' delegates to attend the draw ceremony,"
Concerning the preparations for the tournament, KFF president, Safin Kanaby, said "so far everything is going well. We will do our best in order for the tournament to run prosperously. We are going to be known by outside world countries and I am sure if we succeed in our job, better sporting opportunities will be created for us,"
Kurdistan recently participated in Nakba Cup, a FIFA recognized tournament in Palestine last month, and won third place and the Fair Play Award.
Kanaby asked the media to pay great attention to the VIVA World Cup and try to show the good images of Kurdistan to the outside world. He also asked the people to attend all the matches and show their respect to the guests.
If VIVA World Cup is important for Kurdistan, it may be a dream coming true for Darfur. Until a few months ago, Darfur didn't have a football team or perhaps even dreamed of one. Now after weeks of try-outs and training, Darfur United, a team comprised solely of Darfur refugees, will compete at the 2012 VIVA World Cup in Kurdistan.
Many of the young men on Darfur United have only played on the desert sand, with bare feet and makeshift balls. Today they will compete on a real field for the first time.
"The Darfur United players have had nothing positive to celebrate and have been losing hope of any future beyond the confines of the refugee camp," says Gabriel Stauring, Director of iACT, which is partnering with Aid Still Required to bring the team to Iraq.
"This team means so much more to them than just a game of football. It gives all refugees something to celebrate, and it gives them a connection to the outside world." Added Stauring
Sponsors and donors of Darfur include Adidas, UNHCR, David Beckman, Los Angeles Galaxy, MLS Works (Major League Soccer Foundation), EVO Soccer Programs and many individuals.
The VIVA World Cup is an international football tournament organized by the NF Board, an umbrella association for nations unaffiliated with FIFA. Competitions are held every two years. Kurdistan Region has taken part in this tournament three times. In 2008, Kurdistan secured fourth place, but went on to become runners-up in 2009 and 2010. Observers think Kurdistan has the best chance to win the title this time around playing in front of their home crowd.

Reported: Jan. 6, 2014 5:53 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 7, 2014 12:06 PM EST
ST. ALBANS, W.Va. (Jeff Morris) -- Kanawha County deputies said a woman was found dead in an apartment near St. Albans with three young children inside.
Linda Thornton, 26, was declared dead Monday at a residence on Miracle Drive, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. Metro 911 received a call about a cardiac arrest about 1:30 p.m. Monday.
Medics were sent to the scene, but they were unable to revive Thornton. A deputy also responded. An autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death. Deputies said the death is being investigated as a possible overdose, but the investigation has not yet concluded.

Five seconds into the fourth quarter, Navy found itself down to Air Force, 28-10. It looked looked the Midshipmen were dead in the water, unable to mount a significant offensive charge up to that point with only one touchdown to show for their efforts. But like all matchups between the Falcons and Midshipmen, it came down to the wire, and now we're headed to overtime.
Navy hit a field goal with 2:04 to cut the Air Force lead to eight, then recovered a wonderfully executed onside kick to give itself a chance. And with just 19 seconds left, Kriss Proctor found Gee Gee Greene in the end zone to cut the Air Force lead to two. The two-point conversion, an option that turned into a race for the pylon, was good and the Midshipmen came all the way back to force overtime.
Coverage can be found on CBS, and we wholeheartedly suggest tuning in for overtime. Triple option battles are the best.

CHAPEL HILL — Damage from Tuesday's fire will keep the fourth-floor of Cobb Residence Hall closed through the spring semester, UNC officials said Thursday.
The cause of the fire, which started in the attic insulation around 5 p.m., is undetermined, officials said. There's also no cost estimate yet for the damage, but no one was injured, they said.
The fire closed surrounding streets, delayed results at one election polling location near campus and displaced about 380 students. The four-story brick dormitory, which has smoke detectors and alarms, was built in 1952 and upgraded in 2005.
A few weeks ago, UNC officials installed Wi-Fi service, Cobb resident Jimmy Xu said.
Cobb residents have been reassigned to other campus housing since the fire. Seventy-six won't be able to return, a news release stated. But the rest of the students will return to the lower three floors after inspections are complete, the release stated.
Rick Bradley, with UNC's Department of Housing and Residential Education, said a restoration company is removing damaged materials and clearing the smoky smell. The company also will collect and clean 11 residents' belongings before returning them.

Above ground construction on Atlanta's newest coming attraction – the Skyview Atlanta Ferris wheel – got underway in downtown Atlanta Friday. With the foundation in place, construction crews are assembling the base of the Ferris wheel in a sizeable plot directly beside the Tabernacle Atlanta concert hall in the 100 block of Luckie Street.Michael Montgomery, general manager for Skyview Atlanta, said, "What you're seeing is the water balance tanks which will be part of the infrastructure that holds the wheel down to the ground. There are six of those, so there's no chance this thing's going anywhere once we start putting it all together. It's like a giant erector set."The ride will feature glass-enclosed, temperature-controlled gondolas that will rise about 200 feet in the air. Each gondola will seat up to six people. The ride's developers say Skyview Atlanta will operate year-round.Crews have wrapped on pour concrete for the foundation of the area where patrons will wait in line to take a ride. The foundation of the Ferris wheel, itself, called for an additional estimated 15,000 lbs. of cement -- about three truckloads.What's next?"The next few days… I would say within the next three to four days, you're going to see the A-frame up. Then, about the fifth day, you're going to start seeing the wheel being assembled. Then, with all of the hope that I can give, we should be up and running by the weekend… next weekend."
Even though wet weather is expected over the next few days, crews say that they'll be able to keep working as long as there's nothing severe.Developers say the will cost $13.50 for adults and $8.50 for children. The ride will complete four revolutions per ride and last about 15 minutes, according to developers.

Bilateral Exchanges: Formal partnership agreements between Queen's and another university where by students have the opportunity to study at a partner university while still paying their tuition and ancillary fees to Queen's. In other words, Queen's sends selected students to our partner institution, and they send their selected students to Queen's. The Faculty of Arts and Science maintains partnerships with over 100 universities in 30 different countries. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.6 is required for application. Selected exchange partners require a minimum GPA of 3.0.
Consortial Exchanges: Students may take part in one of five different exchange programs organized by provincial and national consortia that give them access to about 50 further universities in China, France, Germany, India, and the United States. In other words, consortial exchanges are arranged between groups of universities. A cumulative GPA of 2.6 is required for application. Financial support from the program may be available.
Exchange programs are available to all Arts and Science students partaking in an Honours (four-year) program at Queen's.
Classes are generally available in English, unless otherwise indicated. Because of the high demand for exchanges at Queen's, the application process is competitive, and placements cannot be guaranteed for all qualified applicants.
Students apply in the Winter term of their second year for placements in their third year of study. Applications become available online during the Fall term.
The IPO assists students in ensuring administrative timelines are met and that students successfully transition both academically and culturally to and from their host institutions.

Foolproof cooking
New cooks need some hand-holding, and Jane Hornby wants to be right there in the kitchen with them. Her latest cookbook, "What to Cook and How to Cook It" — featuring 100 favorite recipes and, more importantly, 850 clear, step-by-step photographs — allows her to kind of do that.
"The look-and-cook method is useful for people who haven't any background in cooking, or haven't stood in the kitchen with their mum and dad," explains the British food writer and cook, adding, "I'm far more likely to cook a recipe with an image."
And while most cookbooks show one image per recipe, Hornby's book features an average of eight per dish. The visual concept is a response to people's refound interest in making their own meals.
"The last few years have been a food revolution," says Hornby about the plethora of new cooking shows and magazines. But instead of watching meals being prepared on TV, Hornby wants people to pick up their knives. "It's simple to cook your own pasta, she says. "It's healthier, will save you money and mainly is just satisfying."
Hornby's tips for novice chefs
"Get a couple of basic knife skills under your belt," says Hornby. She explains that if something is cut correctly, it will cook at the right speed, thus increasing the chance of your dish being a success. She also recommends reading a recipe from the beginning to end before cooking it — and taking your time. "Don't act like some super chef," she says. "You want to perfect the dish and make it part of your repertoire."

Governors Ball 2013: Lots of mud, tons of great music

Governors Ball 2013 Saturday Recap [Photos + Video]
To those hardy enough to trek out to Randall's Island in the torrential downpour on Friday, for Day #1 of this year's Governors Ball, we salute you. In contrast with 2012′s Ball, for which temperatures spiked in the 90s and the sun shone almost relentlessly, the conditions out on the island for this year's three-day-long fest (for which they added an extra day and two stages) were, well, inclement. OK, they were downright horrible. Those (this reporter included) who were foolish enough to wear flip-flops (or any other footwear less substantial than galoshes or knee-high rubber boots) regretted it seconds after stepping off the ferry into mid-calf-high slop on Saturday afternoon.

Whether or not you like or dislike Sean Avery here isn't the issue. The question is if his "sloppy seconds" comment warranted a yet-to-be decided suspension which in turn took away any heat from the Calgary-Dallas tilt tonight as Tapeleg points out.
You can say that the product should be able to market itself, but sometimes that can't be your only tool. Sometimes you need a little controversy to intrigue the casual fan and even the hardcore fan at times. With six games on tonight, fans had their choice of what games to watch or flip through. You keep Sean Avery in that game and more eyes will be on him and Dion Phaneuf, regardless of a Thrashers comeback in Montreal or a back and forth tilt in Philadelphia.
As much as the league doesn't want Avery to be in the headlines, suspending him for immature comments only makes him to be even more of a villain. In the past he's been hated by just about every fan who doesn't support the jersey he wears. In this case he's going to find himself with a lot more supporters than usual.
The suspension that is eventually doled out will be interesting. Dallas plays Wednesday night so Avery will sit at least one game and to me, if he's out for more (the Stars play Friday and then next Wednesday), the NHL needs to get it's priorities straight. With the amount of debatable head shots in the news during the first two months of the season, a careless comment which is deemed "detrimental to the League or game of hockey" is not more serious than a guy with a scrambled brain.
Wyshynski put it perfectly tonight:
"We know this because Ian White of the Toronto Maple Leafs wasn't suspended after telling the media that Ilya Kovalchuk will "get what's coming to him" the next time they meet.
I guess Avery's joke is more offensive than the threat of continued violence. Maybe if White has added, "And the second time, it'll get reeeeeeeeeeal sloppy."Stars owner Tom Hicks condemned the statements like he had no idea about Avery being a controversial figure when the team signed him in the off-season.
"I completely support the league's decision to suspend Sean Avery," said Dallas Stars owner Thomas O. Hicks. "Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have. This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so."
This should have been a team issue, not a league issue. If you listened to some of the Dallas Stars' reactions to the comments, you could tell they were almost ashamed to be talking about Avery.
Is it crazy to think that Dallas might take matters into their own hands and extend any suspension laid down by the NHL?
UPDATE: Avery has apologized through a statement:
"I would like to sincerely apologize for my off-color remarks to the press yesterday from Calgary," Avery said. "I should not have made those comments and I recognize that they were inappropriate. It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were. I caused unnecessary embarrassment to my peers as well as people I have been close with in the past.
"I apologize for offending the great fans of the NHL, the commissioner, my teammates, my coaching staff and the Dallas Stars management and ownership. As many of you know, I like to mix it up on and off the ice from time to time, but understand that this time I took it too far."

---- — Letter writers
TO THE EDITOR: The purpose of my letter is to say thank you to Leo, Tom, Nick and Clyde Sr. for their continuing submissions to this paper.
Every time one of their irrational, hate-filled screeds appears, dozens of new Democrats are created, meaning there will continue to be a possibility for representative government in this area, state and country.
Thank you so much for helping the democratic cause.
Coming to terms
TO THE EDITOR: I, for one, I'm tired of Mayor Kasprzak bashing the city firefighters.
This practice is not healthy for the residents of Plattsburgh, let alone the firefighters and their families.
I view the mayor's comments and actions as discriminatory, harassing and bullying.
In what may be his last term, I would like to see Mayor Kasprzak spend the remaining nine plus months coming to terms with the city firefighters.

TO THE EDITOR: On Jan. 22, I attended the Fitzpartick Cancer Center Memorial Service that was held at the Newman Center.
This annual event is in memory of the patients of the Fitzpatrick Center who have passed away during the previous year.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the staff of R-5 and the Fitzpatrick Center, who planned and attended this special evening of remembrance, along with the Rev. William Reamer and the Rev. Jessica Lowry for their prayers and Jana and John Cummings for the beautiful music they provided.
It is heartwarming and an important part of the healing process to experience the living support of medical staff that continues even after our loved ones have passed.
CVPH Medical Center and the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center are tremendous resources for the residents of this region. I encourage people of the North Country to be proud of these facilities, grateful for the personnel who staff them and eager to provide support in any way they can.

Pet cat struck
TO THE EDITOR: I would like to thank the kind soul in the white car who intentionally hit my cat.
There were several witnesses. Does it make you feel good to show off for a carload of friends to hit an animal?
The cat somehow survived but has multiple injuries that required veterinary intervention with surgery. Bet you wouldn't think it was so funny if someone intentionally hit your pet.
My sons witnessed the whole incident on Union Road in Peru, along with neighbors.
Your parents must be so proud.

Valorie Eversole Daily Union Editor
Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — A cooperative effort by two area farmers has the potential to positively affect the local economy as well as neighboring farms.
R.D. and Jill Waddington introduced their new 2,400 head wean-to-finish hog farm near Assumption in Shelby County to neighbors and local businesses Tuesday evening with a ribbon cutting and open house.
The Waddingtons will be running the facility for the animals brought in by Roger Walk of Neoga.
"They are Roger's animals. We just take care of them and supply the building," R.D. Waddington said. "He (Walk) liked our location because it is on the way to the packing plant in Beardstown."
The barn is 101 feet wide and 193 feet long and is equipped with automatic feeding and watering system, large industrial fans, curtains and misters for the welfare of the animals.
Pigs will enter the building weighing 12-14 pounds and will be cared for approximately five to six months until they reach market weight of 260-270 pounds. The first animals will be brought to the facility at the end of the month.
"The new hog barn has many technologically advanced features that increase the efficiencies of raising the pigs, but will also improve the welfare of the pigs," said Waddington. "The building is tunnel ventilated, which improves air flow inside the building and thus improves the pigs' health."
Because pork producers are held to a zero discharge standard in the management of manure, the manure will be contained in deep pits under the barns. It will later be injected to surrounding corn and soybean fields according to the crops needs as part of the nutrient management plan.
"Getting the manure to use as a fertilizer for our crops will be a great benefit of this new barn," Waddington said.
"The new hog farm will bring additional economic activity to our local economy," said Waddington."We will also be adding additional tax revenue to the county, of which a large portion will go to the Central A&M School district."
The Waddington family currently farms approximately 1,900 acres of corn soybeans and wheat. The farm has been in the family since the early 1960s. R.D. is the second generation in his family to farm. His farther previously raised pigs in a farrow to finish operations.
"It has been about 15 years since we have had pigs on our farm," Waddington said. "It's amazing how much more technology there is now compared to 15 years ago."
"We decided to build the new hog barn to expand our family farm and create an opportunity for our children, if they choose, to come back to the farm as the next generation," he said. "Pork production has allowed my family to continue to remain viable in agriculture and remain an active member of this community."
The open house and ribbon cutting was sponsored by Shelby County Farm Bureau, COUNTRY Financial, Farmweld, LG Seeds, Niebrugge Ag Services, Shelby County State Bank, Illinois Pork Producers Association and the Pork Checkoff.
"This farm adds to the economic well-being of the area," said Nick Anderson of the Illinois Livestock Development Group. "This is one of 90 to be built in Illinois this year that will bring over $50 million in the hog industry. This building will produce fertilizer for 200-250 acres of corn and produce more than 1 million pounds of pork."
The farm is located in Rural Township.

Contracts (LLM)
This course explores the nature and enforceability of contracts between and among businesses and individuals. Both the common law and the Uniform Commercial Code are discussed. We will address the following questions: (1) What is a contract?; (2) How are damages calculated?; (3) What constitutes a valid contract offer?; (4) How is a contract accepted?; (5) What excuses are there for not performing a contractual obligation?; (5) When is a contract not enforceable? We will emphasize distinguishing mandatory terms from default rules of contract law. Additionally, this course will explore structuring and negotiating transactions. Particular attention will be paid to not only what went wrong, but how it could have been avoided through different drafting. Overview of Class The course will be taught based on lectures combined at times with a socratic dialogue format. The course will also operate in part as an introduction to common law structures of business and contract. Given that the students are LLMs, particular attention will be paid to unique issues in U.S. law, such as jurisdictional choice for business formation. Registration Requirements: JD candidates may not enroll since the course duplicates work previously completed in the Contracts class. LLM candidates are invited to enroll. Teaching Method: Case studies, Class participation, Discussion, Group Work, Lecture, Online work, Readings. Evaluation Method: Class Participation (20% of grade) Final Exam (80% of grade) Class Materials: The casebook for this course is "Contracts: Cases and Doctrine" by Barnett. The course will be keyed to the 4th edition of "Contracts." There is a 5th edition that is little changed, but more expensive. You can save substantial money buying used or new but old editions through Amazon or other websites. The case names will be noted in the syllabus, with approximate page numbers, so you shouldn't have any problems with an earlier or later edition.

Many data centers are up against the maximum electric power available to them from their utility. Others are facing management challenges: the amount of time to deploy new capacity, and to manage existing capacity and systems. And gains made by virtualizing and consolidating servers are often lost again as more gear is added in.
The demand for more CPU cycles and petabytes of storage won't go away. Nor will budget concerns, or the cost of power, cooling, and space.

[ See also:8 radical ways to cut data center power costs and Facebook's 'green' data center design to have ripple effect]
Here's a look at how vendors, industry groups, and savvy IT and Facilities planners are meeting those challenges -- plus a few ideas that may still be a little blue-sky.
Location, location, location
Data centers need power. Lots of it, and at a favorable price.
Data centers also need cooling, since all that electricity going to and through IT gear eventually turns into heat. Typically, this cooling requires yet more electrical power. One measure of a data center's power efficiency is its PUE -- Power Usage Effectiveness -- which is the ratio of total power consumed by the facility for IT, cooling, lighting, etc., divided by the power consumed by IT gear. The best PUE is as close as possible to 1.0; PUE ratings of 2.0 are, sadly, all too typical.
"You want to be in a cool dry geography with cheap power, like parts of the Pacific NorthWest. For example, FaceBook's data center in Prineville, Ore. Or in a very dry place, where you can get very efficient evaporative cooling," says Rich Fichera, VP and Principal Analyst, Infrastructure and Operations Group, Forrester Research.
[ See also: Facebook shares its data-center secrets ]
Companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft, along with data center hosting companies, have been sussing out sites that meet affordable power and cooling criteria (along with not being prone to earthquakes or dangerous weather extremes, available and affordable real estate, good network connectivity, and good places to eat lunch).

Jon Kyl on Government Reform
Republican Jr Senator (AZ; retiring 2012)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D, FL-20): We, as Members of Congress, have responsibility not just for the institution, but for the staff that work for this institution, and to preserve the facilities that help support this institution. We have endeavored to do that responsibly, and I believe we have accomplished that goal.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SCALISE (R, LA-1): It's a sad day when someone attempts to cut spending in a bill that grows government by the size of 7%, and it's not allowed to be debated on this House floor. Some of their Members actually used the term "nonsense" and "foolishness" when describing our amendments to cut spending; they call that a delaying tactic. Well, I think Americans all across this country want more of those types of delaying tactics to slow down this runaway train of massive Federal spending. Every dollar we spend from today all the way through the end of this year is borrowed money. We don't have that money. We need to control what we're spending.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. ORRIN HATCH (R-UT): I am cosponsoring the legislation to provide a House seat for DC and an additional House seat for Utah. Representation and suffrage are so central to the American system of self-government that America's founders warned that limiting suffrage would risk another revolution and could prevent ratification of the Constitution. The Supreme Court held in 1820 that Congress' legislative authority over DC allows taxation of DC. Do opponents of giving DC a House seat believe that DC is suitable for taxation but not for representation?
Opponent's argument to vote No:Sen. JOHN McCAIN (R-AZ): I make a constitutional point of order against this bill on the grounds that it violates article I, section 2, of the Constitution. I appreciate the frustration felt by the residents of DC at the absence of a vote in Congress. According to many experts, DC is not a State, so therefore is not entitled to that representation. Also, one has to raise the obvious question: If DC is entitled to a Representative, why isn't Puerto Rico, which would probably entail 9 or 10 Members of Congress? [With regards to the seat for Utah], this is obviously partisan horse-trading.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BYRD: In 1978, I voted for H.J. Res. 554, that proposed amending the Constitution to provide for representation of D.C. [That amendment passed the Senate but was not ratified by the States]. While I recognize that others believe that the Constitution authorizes the Congress to "exercise exclusive legislation" over D.C., the historical intent of the Founders on this point is unclear. I oppose S.1257, because I doubt that our Nation's Founding Fathers ever intended that the Congress should be able to change the text of the Constitution by passing a simple bill.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. HATCH. There are conservative and liberal advocates on both sides of this issue,and think most people know Utah was not treated fairly after the last census. For those who are so sure this is unconstitutional, [we include an] expedited provision that will get us to the Supreme Court to make an appropriate decision. It will never pass as a constitutional amendment. There are 600,000 people in D.C., never contemplated by the Founders of this country to be without the right to vote. They are the only people in this country who do not have a right to vote for their own representative in the House. This bill would remedy that situation.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. DOLE. I am proposing a commonsense measure to uphold the integrity of Federal elections. My amendment to require voters to show photo identification at the polls would go a long way in minimizing potential for voter fraud. When a fraudulent vote is cast and counted, the vote of a legitimate voter is cancelled. This is wrong, and my amendment would help ensure that one of the hallmarks of our democracy, our free and fair elections, is protected. Opinion polls repeatedly confirm that Americans overwhelmingly support this initiative.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. FEINSTEIN. If one would want to suppress the vote in the 2008 election, one would vote for this because this measure goes into effect January 1, 2008. It provides that everybody who votes essentially would have to have a photo ID. If you want to suppress the minority vote, the elderly vote, the poor vote, this is exactly the way to do it. Many of these people do not have driver's licenses. This amendment would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to actually carry out. It goes into effect--surprise--January 1, 2008 [to affect the presidential election]. I urge a "no" vote.
For example, I am a big fan of McDonald's. What about the kids working behind the counter? Would they be considered registered lobbyists because McDonald's has lobbyists? Would I not be able to go to lunch with my longtime friend who owns 12 McDonald's?
OFFICIAL CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY: A bill to prohibit Federal agencies from obligating funds for appropriations earmarks included only in congressional reports.
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Sen. McCAIN: This bill would prohibit Federal agencies from obligating funds which have been earmarked only in congressional reports. This legislation is designed to help reign in unauthorized, unrequested, run-of-the-mill pork barrel projects.
Report language does not have the force of law. That fact has been lost when it comes to appropriations bills and reports. It has become a standard practice to load up committee reports with literally billions of dollars in unrequested, unauthorized, and wasteful pork barrel projects.
We simply must start making some very tough decisions around here if we are serious about improving our fiscal future. It is simply not fiscally responsible for us to continue to load up appropriations bills with wasteful and unnecessary spending, and good deals for special interests and their lobbyists. We have had ample opportunities to tighten our belts in this town in recent years, and we have taken a pass each and every time. We can't put off the inevitable any longer.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Referred to Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management & Government Information; hearings held; never came to a vote.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Referred to Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs; Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar No. 369; never came to a vote.
OFFICIAL CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY: A bill to provide greater accountability of taxpayers' dollars by curtailing congressional earmarking.
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Sen. McCAIN: This bipartisan bill changes the Senate rules to allow points of order to be raised against unauthorized appropriations and policy riders in appropriations bills and conference reports in an effort to reign in wasteful pork barrel spending.
In 1994, there were 4,126 Congressional earmarks added to the annual appropriations bills. In 2005, there were 15,877 earmarks, the largest number yet, that's an increase of nearly 300%! The level of funding associated with those earmarks has more than doubled from $23 billion in 1994 to $47 billion in 2005.
Our bill would establish a new procedure which would allow a 60-vote point of order to be raised against specific provisions that contain unauthorized appropriations, including earmarks, as well as unauthorized policy changes in appropriations bills and conference reports. Successful points of order would not kill a conference report, but the targeted provisions would be removed from the conference report.
To ensure that Members are given enough time to review appropriations bills, our proposal would also require that conference reports be available at least 48 hours prior to floor consideration.
To promote transparency, our bill requires that any earmarks included in a bill be disclosed fully in the bill's accompanying report, along with the name of the Member who requested the earmark and its essential governmental purpose.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Referred to Senate Committee on Rules and Administration; never came to a vote.
A bill to improve procedures for the collection and delivery of absentee ballots of absent overseas uniformed services voters. Congress makes the following findings:
A bill to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to establish standards for the distribution of voter registration application forms and to require organizations to register with the State prior to the distribution of such forms.
Establishes criminal penalties for: (1) individuals not meeting such standards; and (2) anyone who employs such an individual knowingly, or who should reasonably be expected to know the individual is ineligible.
A bill to require Congress to specify the source of authority under the United States Constitution for the enactment of laws.
Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise explanation of the specific constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House of Congress. The availability of this point of order does not affect any other available relief.
Constitutional Authority for This Act: This Act proposes to establish new procedures by which legislation shall be considered by Congress and is enacted pursuant to the power granted Congress under article I, section 5, clause 2, of the United States Constitution establishing that each House may determine the rules of its proceedings.

I was recently involved in planning a massive Internet infrastructure upgrade. The goal: To make a nationwide network more reliable and secure for both consumers and service providers. The security piece involves massively flexible authentication methods served up in client and cloud-based form with heaping doses of WS-Trust, WS-Federation, and WS-Policy. It's a beautiful, ready-to-deliver solution. If you've read solution no. 2 of my "Fix the Internet" whitepaper, you already know the key ideas.
When we shared the proposal with one of the key stakeholders, the person asked how well the security would hold up if the attacker got inside the cloud or became one of the trusted authentication providers. I think our answer surprised him.
[ IT is a risky business. How do you avoid common catastrophes and increase your chances of success? See "The IT worst case scenario survival guide." ]
We replied that our security model assumes that all attackers are trusted insiders, fully authenticated with elevated levels of access control and privileges. In any large security system, especially one that covers a large enterprise or coast-to-coast implementation, it's absolutely true.
Administrator's dilemma
Administrators of smaller entities normally know all of the other privileged administrators. But in a massive system, the centralized administrators don't have a clue about the trustworthiness of the various sub-admins. They don't know their names, their motivations, or whether the have passed a background check. It's a common scenario that haunts many senior administrators today. They have to give the keys to the kingdom to people who could go off on a malicious tangent at any moment. I've been involved with many cases in which a disgruntled IT employee caused millions of dollars in damage and thought nothing of trading their future career and even freedom to extract their demented revenge.
If your computer security defense is to withstand the real test of legitimacy, it should be built with the assumption that all attackers are trusted and highly privileged insiders acting within the system. That means not relying on perimeter defenses that are bound to fail (e.g. MS-Blaster, Conficker, etc.) and assuming that every asset in your internal network is directly exposed to the Internet. The idea of external networks isolated from soft, chewy centers by perimeter defenses died in August 2003 with the appearance of MS-Blaster.

The state primary is now less than a month away and the race to succeed state Sen. Fred Berry is in full swing.
All four Democratic candidates vying for the seat representing the Second Essex District - which includes Danvers - have been pounding the campaign trail, shaking hands, holding signs and weighing in on pressing issues within the district and statewide as Sept. 6 nears.
And voters are presented with a wide breadth of experience between the four candidates, only one of which will face Republican Richard Jolitz in November.
Peabody attorney John Slattery is a former state representative and city councilor, fellow attorney Mary-Ellen Manning (who has both Peabody and Salem ties) has spent 11 years on the Governor's Council, Salem's Joan Lovely (also an attorney) is a popular eight-term city councilor and the current president of the Salem council and then there's Edward Carroll of Salem, a retired Essex County deputy sheriff who served one term on the Governor's Council in the 1990s.
Thus far, we've heard a lot of what each candidate has done or thinks on certain issues, so it's time to turn the podium over to you -- the voters of Peabody, Salem, Beverly, Danvers and Topsfield.
We want to hear from you
What's the most important consideration for you going into the polls on Sept. 6? What is this election about for you?
If you haven't decided who you're voting for yet, what do you think will most influence your choice in the coming days?
Weigh in via the comment section below, and as always, we ask that you refrain from personal attacks - stick to the issues and the candidates.
