It's a known
fact it's hard sometimes to get young people to read today. The Central Alabama
Community College in Alex City is counting on a $4 million investment to
change that.
The new
building has the simple word 'library' on the front, but that doesn't even to
begin to tell the story, chapter by chapter of what's going on inside.
"I thought
'wow,'" said Marisa Martin.
The 'wow'
factor struck Martin, sophomore, right away when she walked in for
the first time Thursday.
"This is a
place where I could come to everyday," Martin said.
On that score,
librarian Denita Palsey feels they've succeeded.
"I think
the architect did a very fine job with the design you see here," said Palsey.
Sixty computers,
private study rooms, a coffee room and 11,000 books. Upstairs? Offices,
meeting rooms and classrooms.
It's the view
of the campus pond and its neighborhood residents Palsey feels closes the book
on a good deal for students like Martin.
"You can
see the ducks. I think it's relaxing and very calming," said Palsey.
The old library
across the way was built in 1968. Palsey says it got to the point where they
had to do something. The reason is the building received some 'unwanted
"It was
infected with mildew and mold. We lost 3,000 books because of that,"
Palsey said.
administrators got approval from the state's secondary education board to
borrow the 4 million to build the new library.
And there's
more; a fire place adds to the coziness, an amenity Palsey makes no
apologies for.
today carry a load on their shoulders and they come in here work on that
research paper in a beautiful setting," said Palsey.
The old library
versus the new one, a world of difference between the two.

Tribute to world's oldest Holocaust survivor, Alice Herz Sommer, who has died aged 110 years old
Updated 12:55pm Monday 24th February 2014 in News By Becky Middleton, Chief Reporter
A Southfields producer has paid tribute to the world's oldest Holocaust survivor who has died aged 110 years old.
Alice Herz Sommer, who lived in London and was originally from Prague, had been confined in the camp in Terezin, or Theresienstadt, in Germany during the Second World War.
Ms Herz Sommer was a talented musician and an adept pianist.
She is said to have counted esteemed existentialist writer Franz Kafka among her family friends and, more recently, was the subject of an Oscar-nominated documentary about her life.
The Lady In Number 6: Music Saved My Life, a 38-minute film, is up for best short documentary at the Academy Awards to be handed out this weekend.
Chris Branch, of West Hill Road, is one of the three producers of the documentary.
Mr Branch, who rides at Wimbledon Village Stables, said: "I am sad she has passed away but she was 110 years old and she died with her family around her.
"It will make the Oscars a bit more poignant for the team, and it will be more of a celebration of her life."
Mr Branch paid tribute to 'an extraordinary person' that he was honoured to spend time with in the making of the film. "She will be an inspiration for generations to come," he added.
Ms Herz Sommer passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 23. Her grandson, Ariel Sommer, said: "Alice Sommer passed away peacefully with her family by her bedside.
"Much has been written about her, but to those of us who knew her best, she was our dear 'Gigi'.
"She loved us, laughed with us, and cherished music with us."
The documentary is nominated in the best documentary short category alongside four other titles.
The winners will be announced at the Oscars ceremony on Sunday, March 2.

Pete Gooding
Pete Gooding - International Music Machine
Pete Gooding is a club DJ, music producer and radio presenter, but way beyond any name or title he's a music fan. In fact, Pete is a Music Man. Thanks to his broad musical taste, deep musical knowledge and boundless energy and enthusiasm, he's one of the lucky few who have managed to turn 'what I love' into 'what I do'. Pete does music full time, full on, all the time.
Take a quick look at his current list of globally happening projects and it's not hard to see why 2011 is going to be Pete's year.
Doman and Gooding
The Machine
The Global Network radio show
No Logo
Gooding & Coco
At the heart of these good things is his fruitful production partnership with James Doman.
Doman and Gooding have already had a hit in Canada and the UK with the club anthem Runnin', it's still on rotation on dance radio and MTV and has over 1.8m hits on Youtube.
The super-hooky follow-up, I'm Hooked On You, is set to be even bigger.
Cool club tunes are handled by the duo's alter-ego The Machine who have already released on Size, Audio Therapy and Stereo Productions, three of today's biggest and best dance imprints.
Pete and James have also set up a label called Superficial Recordings, as a joint venture with dance music giants Strictly Rhythm.
Pete lives right at the centre of all things clubby, in Ibiza, where he plays regularly for We Love at Space and at the coolest bar on the island, Cafe Mambo. James lives in Los Angeles. So when they're not working together, and when Pete's not on one of his regular trips round the world DJing, he still manages to fit in a few extra collaborations to satisfy his insatiable desire for, yes, you guessed it, more music. For example, he's currently working with chill out don Afterlife on the No Logo project and with Chris Coco on some space disco.
If you need even more musical energy, there's his weekly Global Network radio show, now on over 90 stations worldwide.
With all that going on it's hard to imagine how Pete has time for human stuff like sleep. Perhaps the dude is less of a music man and more of a music machine.
Key Career Moments:
2009 - Doman and Gooding Runnin' a hit in Canada and the UK
2007 - started Global Network radio show
2006 - Doman and Gooding production partnership began
2002 - Best Ibiza DJ at Ibiza DJ Awards
1998 - the present - Resident DJ for Renaissance events worldwide
1996-2006 - Resident DJ at Cafe Mambo, Ibiza
1993 - started DJing in and around home town of Birmingham, UK
1989 - introduced to the world of clubbing in an underage trip to Amnesia, Ibiza
The five tune that made Pete Gooding:
Lil Louis - French Kiss: "I heard this in Amnesia in Ibiza aged 15. It made me want to become a DJ."
Aphex Twin - We Are The Music Makers: "This was on the first Cafe Del Mar cassette tape I bought from Jose Padilla in 1994."
Dr Baker - Would You Like To Seduce Me: "My most-played sunset track at Mambo."
Sydenham & Ferrer - Sandcastles: "Deep, epic, uplifting, this really blew me away."
Stardust - Music Sound Better With You: "An amazing party track, one of the best house tracks of all time."
Top Five Favourite DJ Gigs:
We Love @ space, Ibiza. Sept 2010
Pacha Ibiza main room set. June 2006
Bestival main stage Sept 2010
Sirena, Brazil 7 hour set on the terrace 2007
Glastonbury Cube Henge arena 2010
The Back Story:
"I always have loads of energy because I'm always getting over excited by music, I have the same love for it I had at 15 years old when I first went to Amnesia in 1989!"
Pete Gooding lives in Ibiza where this story begins. He fell in love with house music at the age of 12 after being given a cassette of The House Sound Of Chicago Volume One by his older (and naughtier) sister. The Gooding family were regular summer visitors to the party island of Ibiza. And in 1989, the same sister took Pete, then a sweet, impressionable 15 year old on his first clubbing adventure - to Amnesia.
It was a night that would set the course for his career, his love, his life. When Pete heard the DJ drop Lil Louis' French Kiss he knew that he wanted to be up there one day, playing the tunes, at the heart of the party, making the world dance.
Back in the real world, the family home in Birmingham, England, the life, the dream, felt a million miles away. Undeterred, Pete started building something local, hope of going global with the music still burning strong.
He moved from glass collecting at a local club to running his own night there and booking some of those DJs who were already living the dream (Erick Morillo, Judge Jules and Dave Seaman were visitors). Then progressed to Rafael's, the biggest bar in Birmingham, for more successful DJing and promoting and a few forays into the world of guest DJing for Moneypenny's, down the road.
But Ibiza was still calling and in 1996, with a little help from old school friend Steve Lawler, Pete landed a career-defining residency at Cafe Mambo. He would return every summer for the next ten years, making a varied and well-received compilation CD each season and watching as the fortunes of Mambo rose, partly thanks to his eclectic music soundtracks, and it became the best known and best loved sunset bar on the island.
Of course, being a regular behind the decks at Mambo meant Pete got to meet, and build relationships with, a healthy chunk the world's top DJs and promoters who would come down to play pre-club parties or just hang out for sunset. That's how he me Geoff from Renaissance and, after a little persuasion, became resident for that global party brand.
"Every week when Geoff came in I'd play a tune that I knew would make him come over. The first time he said - I've only ever heard Sasha and Digweed play this, what's your name?
"Then Frankie Knuckles was with Geoff at Mambo, and quizzed him about who I was. The following week Danny Rampling did the same and asked for one of my mix tapes."
Pete's adolescent dreams were fast turning to reality. He was now the man, resident at the best bar and a regular at all the big clubs, including his beloved Amnesia, as Renaissance resident, no less.
In 2002 Pete was voted Best DJ at the prestigious Ibiza DJ Awards and since then his music has taken him on a continuous whirl of touring and recording around the world.
"I've been abroad virtually every weekend for the last eleven years, and have played in over 65 countries" says Pete, still amazed that he is doing pretty much just what he always wanted, still excited by tunes he is playing.
"My connection to the crowd comes from the fact that when I'm DJing, I couldn't be happier. I'm having the time of my life and that links me to the crowd, simple as that. We're all on the same wavelength."
The last couple of years have been the most successful so far for Pete. He's found himself putting more energy and just as much passion in producing with musical partner James Doman and a host of other collaborators.
"It's the music that has taken me across the world, and now I'm producing and engineering my own material it's given me even greater freedom."
There has been 'that' tune, Doman and Gooding Runnin', a massive radio and MTV hit, as well as remixes for some of the world's biggest musical names including Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, Cheryl Cole, Will I Am, Kelis, Professor Green and many more. The new label, Superficial Recordings, in partnership with dance music players Strictly Rhythm. Underground releases as The Machine on today's most happening labels including Size, Stereo Productions and Audio Therapy, the weekly Global Network radio show, now on over 90 stations round the world; and a packed DJ schedule that has included high profile sets at Bestival, Glastonbury and, of course, in Ibiza.
Whew, what a scorcher. And 2011 is set to get even hotter and busier, with a new Doman and Gooding smash, I'm Hooked On You, first on the menu, and plenty more typical Pete-style musical madness and variety to follow.
But let's leave the last word with the unstoppable Mr Gooding:
"The reason I am different as a DJ and producer is that I don't pigeon hole myself in one genre of music. For me there is only good and bad music, so I play all styles of music that I love. This also applies to my production. I have made music that stretches from chill out, electronica, drum & bass to house, techno, pop and dubstep. The key residency I had at Cafe Mambo only cemented this as I played every style of music there.
"I always have loads of energy because I'm always getting over excited by music, I have the same love for it I had at 15 years old when I first went to Amnesia in 1989!"

Alabama state troopers stopped by Huntsville Hospital Thursday morning for a special surprise.
Children recovering in the hospital received a brand-new teddy bear for the holidays.
Troopers brought a big bag filled with dozens of bears for the deserving kids.
They've been surprising children with the toy for years.
Trooper Curtis Summerville said it never gets old.
"We anticipate it every year: coming, talking to the children, seeing smiles on their faces and actually seeing a trooper giving them a teddy bear," he said.
Donations to the Alabama State Trooper Association help buy the teddy bears.
Troopers also keep bears in their patrol cars, year round, to give to scared children going through a traumatic event - such as a car accident.

Legal Ethics
Disbarred Lawyer Fighting New Sanction Decries Treatment, Barks at Wisconsin Justices
Posted Nov 8, 2012 8:09 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A disbarred Milwaukee lawyer fighting a recommendation for additional sanctions told the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday that the ethics case is "traumatizing me and pushing me into an early grave."
Alan Eisenberg, 71, was disbarred in 2010 for filing a lawsuit in bad faith, but the ethics rules allow him to seek reinstatement after five years, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. A referee has recommended that an extra two years be added to the waiting period for Eisenberg's conduct in two cases, one involving dog euthanasia and the other, fee splitting. The referee also recommended Eisenberg pay nearly $30,000 in costs.
The oral argument was "pure Eisenberg," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says. He compared himself to the dog in the euthanasia case and, at one point, actually barked at the court, according to the account.
"What is the purpose of coming after me right after I'm disbarred?" Eisenberg said. "Tell me to die and I'll do it. Order a lobotomy. I surrender."

Oracle Customer: dSPACE GmbH
Location: Paderborn, Germany
Industry: Engineering and Construction
Employees: More than 1,000
dSPACE is the world's leading provider of hardware and software tools for developing and testing sophisticated electronic control systems. For more than 20 years, dSPACE has built high-quality, off-the-shelf software and hardware solutions to empower engineers to design innovative control systems, while dramatically reducing development time and cost.
The company is a world leader in development environments for electronic control systems in the automotive and aerospace industries, among others. Electronic operating systems are now standard in many industries, enabling a new depth of comfort and performance, but simultaneously increasing development complexity, while shortening research and development lead times. dSPACE GmbH enables companies to find the balance between innovation, efficiency, and the bottom line.
dSPACE had many varied development departments working autonomously on their specific areas of focus. The company executed a re-organization initiative, combining all departments under one lead, to better organize active projects and projects in the pipeline. With this new structure, the company required a more efficient approach to project management, to enable precise resource planning and integrate individual subprojects into larger projects. Additionally, dSPACE needed increased transparency and visibility enterprisewide, to gain an overall view of activities and to support more efficient planning of development projects and resource capacities for current and future projects.
dSPACE GmbH used Oracle's Primavera P6 Professional Project Management to enable greater insight and more efficient management of multiple projects simultaneously, across the organization—improving resource planning and timing. The solution was adopted seamlessly and easily by company employees, as dSPACE GmbH was able to develop training sessions in-house.
"Oracle's Primavera P6 Professional Project Management enabled us to handle very complex projects in a streamlined, efficient manner―a capability we previously lacked." – Rolf Rainer Moritz, Section Manager, Quality and Process Management, dSPACE GmbH
dSPACE GmbH thoroughly defined the necessary requirements for its project management solution, and narrowed the selection down to three tools. Following an extensive testing period, dSPACE GmbH project managers visited users of two of the project management solutions to obtain additional insight on day-to-day use. The company ultimately chose Oracle's Primavera P6 Professional Project Management as it was easy to use, yet powerful in meeting the requirements of dSPACE GmbH.
Oracle Partner
INTECO GmbH
dSPACE GmbH worked with Oracle Gold Partner INTECO GmbH to implement Primavera P6 Professional Project Management. The implementation began in early 2005, with dSPACE going completely live on the solution, for all projects across the enterprise, in 2006. dSPACE depended on the high-quality support it received from INTECO during the implementation process.

Blown cellulose, rigid foam, and rainscreen
Play Slideshow >>
Cost-Effective Energy Retrofit
A one-inch layer of rigid XPS foam covers the wall sheathing, providing added R-value and a thermal break. Flat roof vents and a pair of gable-end vents supply attic ventilation.
To maintain the continuity of the exterior rigid foam, the small front porch — shown here with the siding applied — was cut free of the structure and then reattached after the foam had been slipped behind it.
The back laundry room — a former porch — is fully insulated and lies within the building's thermal envelope.
After reinstalling the existing windows, the crew covered the rigid foam with housewrap and vertical battens, which provide an air space and drainage plane behind the siding.
Dense-pack cellulose insulation is typically blown in from inside, through holes cut in a mesh fabric that has been stapled to open framing. The fabric holds the insulation in the cavities, allowing it to be packed to a density of approximately 3.5 pounds per cubic foot. At this density, it has an R-value of about 3.4 per inch. Once the insulation is in, drywall is installed in the usual manner.
Inside out and outside in. Our insulation contractor used that conventional method on the walls and ceiling of the newly framed back porch. In areas where the drywall was already up he worked from outside, blowing cellulose through holes drilled in the sheathing. Early in the process, however, we found that the pressure exerted during installation could be enough to push the drywall off the studs. To prevent this from happening, we screwed temporary battens across the inside face of the wall. After the stud bays were filled, we patched the holes in the sheathing by inserting wood plugs and sealing them with duct mastic and mesh drywall tape.
Floor and attic. Instead of blowing insulation through the subfloor or the crawlspace ceiling, the insulation sub worked through holes bored in the blocking that served as a rim joist. To ensure that the cellulose reached the far end of the framing cavity, it was blown in through a long piece of PVC plumbing pipe attached to the end of the hose. The insulator started with the pipe all the way in and slowly withdrew it as the joist bay filled with insulation.
The attic was insulated to R-40 with blown-in cellulose. There was no need to install insulation baffles because the existing roof had no ridge or soffit vents. Ventilation was furnished by flat roof vents and a pair of gable vents.
An exterior thermal break. To provide a thermal break and an additional R-5 of insulation value, we covered the wall sheathing with one-inch XPS foam board, which was notched around the rafter tails. We cut the front porch free from the building and moved it temporarily away from the wall so the foam could be applied behind it without interruption. In framing the rear laundry room, we cut the rafters flush with the top plate so there would be no breaks through the foam. An overhang with short decorative rafter tails was later fastened to the wall from the outside.
To increase the durability of the wall assembly, we installed the exterior finish rain-screen style — that is, over a ventilated air space. This allows any moisture that gets behind the siding to drain to the bottom of the wall and promotes rapid drying of the back of the siding itself. We began by nailing spacers ripped from scraps of OSB over the foam at the perimeter of the openings and fastening the windows to them. Next, we covered the foam with housewrap, taking care to lap it over the window flanges and spacers. The remaining spacers went on over the housewrap at the stud locations, with window-screen material stretched across the open ends to keep insects from entering the air space. We completed the exterior by reattaching the front porch and nailing the casings, corner boards, and siding over the spacer strips.

TROY, N.Y. - Firefighters with the Troy Fire Department say heat-related calls are on the rise and are asking residents to be aware of signs that you could be in danger.
Assistant Fire Chief James Hughs also expressed concern for his own crews that have been battling flames during recent heat waves.
"I was very concerned over my guys because our gear, even though it's designed to breathe, it doesn't breathe that we'll,"Chief Hughs said. "It's designed to keep the heat off us but it keeps our body heat in."
Not being able to cool down with full fire gear on can be extremely dangerous for firefighters working in high heat outside, but unlike many people, most firefighters know the signs of heat-related illness.
Chief Hughs says the elderly and young children are at a higher risk for suffering from heat exhaustion, but that doesn't mean they are the only people who are not fully aware of the symptoms. Hughs says it ranges from profuse sweating to feeling extremely tired and thirsty.
Residents who have access to pools tried to cool down Saturday, which can be crucial. Staying hydrated is another key to staying safe. Hughs says when responding to a call for someone with heat exhaustion, timing is everything. If someone can't cool down, heat stroke can set it next.
"That is when you've stopped sweating," Hughs said. "You're body's not getting rid of the heat. You can actually be red, feel very warm and that's a true emergency we need to get you cooled down very quickly or you can actually cook your brain."

It was a somber day for Lincoln police as they say a final goodbye to one of their own.
Hundreds of people came to pay tribute to Officer John Clarke Friday morning. His sudden death came as a shock to all who knew him.
"John always had a smile on his face," Chief Jim Peschong said.
Officer John Clarke was a 21-year veteran of the Lincoln Police Department. He died suddenly when he collapsed while off–duty at the gym earlier this week. He was highly regarded at LPD, his colleagues say he went above and beyond to help anyone he could.
"He was always willing to wind up helping someone, all they had to do was ask and sometimes they didn't even ask. John knew when he was needed or when he could wind up helping and he was always quick to wind up helping," Chief Peschong said.
Hundreds gathered today to pay their respects.. Including law enforcement from all over the state..
They wanted to say goodbye to a husband, a father and the head of the k–9 unit of LPD.
"I think this is one way of everyone winding up paying tribute to John as well as bringing closure to everything," Peschong said.
Officer Clarke leaves behind a wife and three children... As well as a police force who looked up to and respected him as a mentor.
The cold and snowy afternoon didn't stop everyone from celebrating his life.
"I think it's really great. Look at the weather, it's not the best weather and when you really think about it, a lot of people came out even in this bad weather to wind up celebrating John's life and pay their respects to him," Peschong said.
One of his colleagues said today's weather was perfect to honor Clarke...they said this is the kind of weather Clarke would be out hunting in.

The Asphalt Jungle/1950/MGM/112 min.
"The Asphalt Jungle" from 1950 by director John Huston is rightly considered a masterpiece. Excellent storytelling and an outstanding cast, including Sterling Hayden, Louis Calhern, Sam Jaffe, Jean Hagen and Marilyn Monroe, have helped it stand the test of time.
But its stark, unwavering realism is not for everyone. Louis B. Mayer, head of MGM, where Huston made the movie, had this to say about the flick: "That 'Asphalt Pavement' thing is full of nasty, ugly people doing nasty things. I wouldn't walk across the room to see a thing like that."
Um, did he not see luminous and fragile Monroe as mistress Angela Phinlay? Huston portrays a gang of thieves as flawed humans trying to make a living. "We all work for our vice," explains menschlike mastermind Doc Erwin Riedenschneider (Jaffe). Recently released from jail, Doc has planned every detail of a $1 million jewel robbery and seeks to round up the best craftsmen he can find for one last heist.
A fat wallet means Doc can head to Mexico and court all the nubile girls he can handle. Dix Handley (Hayden), a tough guy with swagger to spare, hopes to pay his debts and return to his beloved horses in Kentucky. Getaway driver Gus Minissi (James Whitmore) is sick of running his dingy diner. Bookie 'Cobby' Cobb (Marc Lawrence) covets booze. Safecracker Louis Ciavelli (Anthony Caruso) has a wife and kid to support. Alonzo 'Lon' Emmerich (Calhern) is a wealthy but overspent lawyer who wants to be solvent again.
"You may not admire these people, but I think they'll fascinate you," says Huston in an archive clip included on the DVD. They pull it off, but what heist would be complete without a doublecross and crossing paths with the police?
In this macho, man's-world movie, there is alas no femme fatale. But rest assured there are flawed women aplenty. Hagen plays the neurotic Doll, a struggling performer, and her vice is Dix. Monroe, as Lon's barely legal girlfriend, orders mackerel for his breakfast, flips through travel magazines and is fond of saying, "Yipes!" Lon's bed-ridden wife May (Dorothy Tree) wishes Lon were home more often. Teresa Celli plays dutiful wife Maria Ciavelli.
The actors complement each other deftly. Jaffe, both sage and seedy (when he lusts after pretty young things) is particularly entertaining; he nabbed an Oscar nom for best supporting actor. Helping his rich characterization is the fact that he gets some terrific lines, for instance: "Just when you think you can trust a cop, he goes legit." [Read more...]

Critics argue district homes plan lacks necessary infrastructure
10:00am Wednesday 23rd April 2014 in News
Plans to find sites for nearly 3,500 homes across Braintree district in the next decade have been dismissed as inadequate by critics.
Braintree Council has identified locations for future housing developments as part of its Local Development Framework (LDF).
To meet Government building targets, 3,443 homes should be provided by the year 2026.
But angry residents believe the council has not made plans to improve roads, transport options and facilities accordingly.
George Boyd-Ratcliff, of Maldon Road, Hatfield Peverel, accused the council of planning to build houses without the necessary infrastructure.
Council leader Graham Butland said the development of Great Notley over the past 20 years was an example of infrastructure arriving gradually.
He said: "You will not get schools built until the houses are there because there is no demand until we have houses built, so there will be a time lag inevitably with some of the infrastructure.
"But you won't get these significant improvements unless we get some fairly significant developments.
"The odd house here or there isn't going to bring forward enough resources to make a significant difference.
"Infrastructure comes, but it comes at a price and that is more housing."

John M I says...
1. Yes, "housing" is the principal topic but it has some associated issues eg Where will new houses be built? How many? What types? How did the LDF committee consider local opinions? and so on.
2. Re the last point viz the LDF committee, did any of you attend their meetings to see how they operate? I did. More than once. And I can tell you that the so-called "public consultation" is a sham, merely a device to make it look as though residents opinions form part of the decision-making process. In fact, our views have simply been swept aside so that our councillors can do exactly as they wish, regardless of what objections we may have. Know this; if we let them get away with this there will be more and more ignoring of our views. There's a saying from someone very clever:- "The price of apathy is to be ruled by evil men". Strong, I know, but the point is clear.
3. Re the house that seems to have lots of people in it. Why should MY lifestyle be adversely affected so that someone else's can be improved? Human Rights? What about my human right that, having worked for a lifetime to afford a property bordering countryside, this is now going to be covered in new houses to accommodate people like those mentioned, who seem to have bred offspring without having the ability to put a roof over their heads! Frankly, that isn't My problem and I resent being told that I'll just have to suck it up! Budheeka, I agree with you 100%.

Switzerland Kapelle Jonental
The World > Europe > Switzerland
Oestlich von Jonen im Tal des Flüsschens Jona liegt versteckt im Wald die seit 1521 bekannte Marien-Wallfahrtskirche Jonental.
Die Kapelle ist ein beliebter Ort für Hochzeiten, sie ist aber auch ein besonderer Ort zur stillen Einkehr.

The bridge over the river Reuss is only single lane. It is located at the beginning of the "Flachsee"...
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.

METHUEN — The City Council has cleared the way for the expansion of the Board of Health from three to five members.
The change — first proposed by Mayor Stephen Zanni and approved Monday by the council — is designed to fix attendance problems that have prevented the volunteer board from holding five of its last seven monthly meetings.
The last two Board of Health meetings were held in June and September. The board failed to have a three-member quorum at monthly meetings scheduled for April, May, July, August and October.
The city is now accepting applications for board membership. Methuen Health Director Brian LaGrasse said he hopes the board will be expanded to five members by the beginning of 2013.
LaGrasse said the addition of two members will help ensure the board has a quorum while also encouraging more discussion.
"It's going to work really well," said LaGrasse. "More ideas, more discussion, more input is always welcome."
Zanni first proposed the expansion from three to five members Oct. 15, one day before the board's cancelled October meeting was scheduled. The City Council on Monday approved the measure 8-1, with Ron Marsan voting against it.
The Board of Health is comprised of Dr. Sudarshan Chatterjee of North Andover, Joyce Hersey of Myrtle Street, and Ray Wrobel of Tanglewood Circle. Members serve three-year terms.
LaGrasse said Hersey has been unable to attend meetings after undergoing back surgery earlier this year and is not expected back for several months. LaGrasse said Dr. Chatterjee is "extremely busy," and has had difficulty attending meetings between running a private practice and family commitments. One member on the Board of Health must be a physician.
Residents interested in applying for the Board of Health can fill out a talent bank application on the city's website.
The Board of Health is scheduled to meet again Nov. 20.

The Must List
Fine Art: Dale Chihuly
The MFA's four-decade retrospective presents Chihuly's famed kaleidoscopic colors and flowering forms in grand scale. The big, dramatic spaces in the museum's new wing play a key role here, too — the Shapiro Courtyard should fit Chihuly's 42-foot Lime Green Icicle Tower like an architectural glass slipper. $20, 4/10–8/7.
Event: Cyberarts Festival
Don't freak over the geeky name: This biennial marries high art with high-tech. Imagine computer-algorithm-produced drawings and avant-garde films screened in a planetarium. It's not just MIT nerds, either; museums from the DeCordova to the Fuller are also involved. 4/22–5/8, bostoncyberarts.org.
Music: Buffalo Tom
Aging Gen Xers mourned seeing Buffalo Tom's, well, taillights fade in the late '90s. But with the release last month of a new album, Skins, the legendary rockers have proved that their soul-searching, rollicking sound is still intact — and still loud. Now, after a swing through Europe, their first U.S. gig will be at the Paradise. $20, 4/8.
Even non-fanboys will be impressed by a lineup at the Hynes packed with more than 200 superhero artists and graphic novelists including Neal Adams, of Batman and X-Men fame, and Gahan Wilson, the longtime New Yorker cartoonist. $20 (single day), or $35 (weekend), 4/30–5/1.

Oxford United players in shape as new season beckons
9:00am Tuesday 3rd July 2012 in United News
Oxford United's squad are expected to report back in shape for pre-season training this week after following fitness programmes since the end of last season.
The players' physical condition will be assessed on Friday, ahead of full sessions beginning next Monday.
Players have been regular visitors to the club's gym in the last few weeks and U's manager Chris Wilder is not expecting anyone in a poor physical condition.
He said: "The players have been in throughout the summer and have been set targets. they have been working hard – it's a determined group.
"Nobody is behind schedule, obviously there are some people that are better at different things than others.
"We will look to bring them up to speed with the training and the pre-season games we've got.
"It's all about working towards looking to make a fast start to the season."
Improving strength and conditioning was a highlighted as a key priority following a poor finish to last season, which saw the U's miss out on the npower League Two play-offs.
The club are planning to hire a new full-time fitness coach this summer and Wilder is focusing on getting through to the start of the season without any knocks.
"Prevention of injuries is the aim, more than anything," Wilder said.
"I'm sure if we can keep people robust and set up for a 46-game league season then we will do better."
The group starting full training should include Alfie Potter, after fully recovering from a broken ankle which ruled the winger out fot the second half of the season.
He will be joined by striker Tom Craddock and goalkeepers Ryan Clarke and Wayne Brown, who all had injury problems in the final weeks of the campaign.
But not everyone will be able to go straight into full training.
Defenders Harry Worley and Liam Davis are likely to miss United's opening pre-season games as they recover from surgery on ankle and groin injuries respectively.
Wilder said: "Pre-season's all about getting ready for the first game of the season – that's what we are always looking at."
United's first pre-season game is against West Ham at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday, July 17.

We just lacked insoiration to move out of this division. That must come from the top down through the entire team. We scored to few goals & let in some silly & own goals. One or two of the players we signed last Summer were just NOT fit & were out for most of the Season. Not the way a club should prepare.
One would hope, that we have learnt something from that???

With our current crop of midfield players we will be outrun very easy again, perhaps Beano and Alfie could drop back and help out?
Not a goal scorer, but puts good balls forwards for others to run onto.

UPDATED: 4:02 p.m.
Lynchburg, VA - Lynchburg Police say the Medical Examiner has positively identified the body found yesterday as 18 year old Jamisha Gilbert.
The autopsy on the body was completed Thursday morning.
Police say the body was found at Megginson Lane Cemetery in a wooded area, where crime tape was put up Wednesday.
A hearse pulled in around 6 p.m. Wednesday, presumably to take the body to the Roanoke medical examiners office.
A spokesman with LPD says they don't expect to hold any news conference Thursday.
Below is the entire news release by Lynchburg Police:
"In an attempt to keep the public adequately informed about the investigation involving Jamisha Gilbert, the Department is releasing the following information:
Investigative efforts made by the Lynchburg Police Department Criminal Investigations Division include following up on numerous leads, conducting multiple interviews, collecting available evidence, and searching various areas around the Concord Turnpike area. At this time, this case is being investigated as an incident that involves a suspicious death.
Up to this point in the investigation, no information has been obtained that would lead investigators to believe that this case is in any way related to the missing person case involving Alexis Murphy. Also, investigators have not received any information that would lead them to believe that the public is in any immediate danger as related to the circumstances in this case.
The Lynchburg Police Department will diligently continue their investigative efforts in an attempt to determine the exact circumstances surrounding this case.
The Lynchburg Police Department will continue to provide updates as necessary."

Neat story on what else happens when NHL players are traded and how it affects their families and home life. Centers around the Bruins' deadline acquisitions. Burnside's good when he turns down the snark. There was some discussion yesterday about Rolston finding out about his trade via Twitter before getting a call from either team. According to the story, same thing happened to Greg Zanon, who the Wild sent to Boston on Monday. Seems the speed of Twitter is just slightly faster than that of your average NHL general manager.
1:50 Glenn Healy on Nabby + amnesty and DiPi; Friedman: Isles still talking to Nabby's agent, doesn't look like Nabokov will be on the market. EJ Hradek on Hockey Night Live adds it will come down to term and NMC/NTC between Isles and Nabby. 7:22 Eric Francis on PAP: he's grateful for opportunity with Isles & chance to play next to Tavares - "he'll re-sign there" also of note: 2:50 Dustin Brown 5:15 Rick Nash 7:15 Jason Garrison and Panthers
The New York Islanders face the NHL Trade Deadline without a lot of options but a few desirable parts to move.
The New York Islanders approach the NHL Trade Deadline still hoping for a playoff spot, but the bigger priority is mapping out their lineup and free agent options for next year.
The New York Islanders have decisions to make as the playoff push stalls, the trade deadline nears, and their arena plans sit idle and ignored.
Editor's Note: FanPost front-paged for this hot topic of the next two weeks. Evgeni Nabakov has been amazing for the Isles over the past few weeks, and he's certainly been responsible for the wins...
The New York Islanders have a valuable trade chip on their hands in P.A. Parenteau

Fischer conquers the world market. A quarter of production is already destined for export. A major setback occurs on November 15, when the factory catches fire. The factory is rebuilt and extended to 8,000m² with production at 50,000 pairs of skis.
Second World War
Throughout the Second World War not a day passes without production at Fischer. When the war ends, production resumes after only a few weeks' interruption.
Series Production
On the way to becoming a ski factory. Skis are made in several stages; first signs of series production.
Founding the company
In 1924 Josef Fischer Senior begins making handcarts, sledges in a wooden barn and some few skis. More than eighty years later Fischer is a global group of companies. To this very day Fischer has retained its identity as a family business, successful on an international scale through a symbiosis of tradition, pioneering and high-tech.

We Are The World on YouTube
March 25, 2010 at 5:53 pm , by Ladies' Lounge
Talk about a striking a chord. One of the hottest videos on the web this week is "We Are the World 25 for Haiti (YouTube Edition)." But there's no Barbra Streisand. No Celine Dion or Pink. Instead, Canadian-born singer-songwriter Lisa Lavie recruited 57 unknown YouTube musicians from around the globe to collaborate on their very own rendition of the charity single, to raise awareness for Haiti earthquake victims. "The singers recorded in their bathrooms, their closets, their bedrooms," says Lavie. "They're college students, receptionists—they don't have access to real recording studios." After "three days and one sleepless night" of editing, Lavie posted her heartfelt rendition on YouTube. To date, it has attracted an impressive 1.8 million views and counting. "I'm really proud of how everybody came together for this video," says Lavie. "I don't want people to think we did it for money—no one has made a penny off of it. This was about Haiti relief, and bringing as much awareness to the cause as we could."

I'm having a strange issue with an app that's developed using Flash Lite and packaged as a WRT.
At some point, the Flash Lite needs to connect to a site on the internet to post some data (using the sendAndLoad command), but I'm having intermittent results.
On the 5800, it's just failing to connect and not even asking me if I'd like to allow a connection.
On the X6, it's asking me if I'd like to allow a connection and restarting the app once I accept (this is acceptable because at least the app is now able to connect).
On the N8, it's intermittently failing to send but on restarting the handset, I am able to send.
Anyone come across this and know where to look for a solution ?
Thanks !

A tool for Awakening & Ascension! This is a deck of Consciousness, Abundance, Harmony & Truth – a vessel for the Divine Sciences of the Unseen woven masterfully together with evocative guiding messages from Ascended Masters*, and with tools for daily living. It supports a breakthrough invoking and reawakening of the intuition within - a spiritual transformation and guidance into a new energy consciousness. Reminding you of who You Really Are!
Through these cards the Ascended Masters are bringing in their vibration and consciousness. The images are holding a healing power and ability to transmit encoded information, which is recognized through our Higher Consciousness and understood on the cellular level. The effect is that a doorway is opened, triggering a remembering and activating a deep knowing, which has been forgotten long ago... your Higher Consciousness Guidance.
"The world will be saved by Art... there are some of the paintings... particularly some of the upcoming ones who haven't been discovered yet, who understand absolutely how to integrate energy, feelings, senses into a painting, so that the eyes look at the surface of the painting and it sees colors and certain forms, [but] there are underlying energies that are potent, very, very potent..."Excerpts of St. Germain (Adamus) channeled by Geoffrey Hoppe
"They are originally unique, deep and healing! Nothing close to a typical card deck! The best way I could describe would be - these cards take you to a different dimension. Everything about them is like magic that I could feel more powerfully than words can express! Just holding the cards gave me this feeling of being in a pyramid of dimensions and gateways. And listening to the messages through these cards took me to a different world which is deep beyond the surface... I kept noticing my consciousness shifted from "here" to "there" and I have never felt it in any other card reading that I received before..."
"My cat was "taken over" by someone when he saw this card deck. He laid down by it and suddenly went from being shy and keeping a distance from people other than me to being extremely friendly, cuddly, with this deep look of recognition in his eyes. When I heard Sa'arah saying "it's St.Germaine" I got "angelbumps" all over my body. Witnessing something like this happen - even before working with them, you just know that there is something with these cards that's powerful and "Beyond this World!" ReGina L. Norlinde ~Bestselling Author, Empowerment Teacher, Radio&TV Producer and Host
"Just wanted to say how absolutely breathtaking your paintings are. I remember when you were first starting to paint these special works of ART.....Spirit is certainly weaving its magic through you Dear One."Katrice Balmer, Vancouver
"THANK YOU very much again, and Congratulations for your Cards, which really are a Masterpiece."Antonio Almazan - Spain
"Love "One look at the deck, and I just knew I had to have it. The illustrations are so otherworldly ... the cards themselves are almost like a portal to anohter dimension!"Jessica
"Love your cards, use them all the time and am able to tap into the energies. Love, love love them!"Andrea
"I've personally experienced the power of her art and cards. All I can say is AMAZING!!"Howard Chait, Ausralia
"I thank you so much for the lovely and thoughtful gift of your Tarot deck. I have been exploring and been delighted with the deep soul message and beautiful drawings. Well doen dear ONE, what a great contribution to us all."Carla, San Francisco
"And love my deck! Thank you so much for this amazing creations!" Andrea Kowol, Kihei
The Sacred Awakening Card Deck - a Lemurian Remembering.Now available and supporting the global awakening!
This deck is a tool for Self-Realization and Guidance, containing 67 cards (3.5x5") and a Guidebook with a deeper meaning of each card and all beautifully packaged.
The creation of the cards took place on the Islands of Hawaii, Kauai and Maui. On a rainy day on Kauai I received a clear vision showing me to create a Tarot deck. ("Tarot" is the Soul's road to Wisdom). This was actually a huge project I was not aware of at that time, and yet, it was so beautiful, shapeshifting and deepening into myself.
Whenever I worked on the cards - expressing the feelings and insights I received into a manifest form - I was immersed in an "invisible" energy guiding me in their creation. I tapped into the unseen realms, into the realms of Masters - Saint Germaine played an important role - and Angelic beings, into different ancient high consciousness cultures, into our starseed connection, and infused all these different energies into the cards. That is why they are gateways and hold a lot of information to be experienced and unraveled...
I hope you like my one-of-a-kind Sacred Awakening Card DeckSa'arah
The cards are:• Opening the heart and activating deep wisdom of love.• Awakening the intuition and bringing in higher conscious guidance.• Augmenting clarity leading to trust and a graceful abundant flow.• Expanding you more into multidimensional awareness.• Connecting you with higher principles.• Giving you deeper thoughts.Spiritual Transformation - Awakening frequency of Light - AscensionRemember to Remember!A long forgotten Higher Consciousness of Unconditional Love and Oneness with YourSelf!
"This is the first time I get to see the finished product. What a magnificent work of art!!!!! I really love the font on the front. And the pyramid is brilliant. You should be so proud of your work. Very impressive. Congratulations Sa'arah, you are awesome!" Linda Lake Editor
* Ascended Masters: once walking upon this earth like you and me - have undergone a process of spiritual transformation into Self-Realization. This Awakening expanded into a continuous frequency of light and on to the Ascension of their true identity transcending the birth-death cycle.
.Most of the Artwork of Sa'arah is available as canvas prints or posters up to 20"x30". These breath-taking prints allow you to live with these energies in your home or office."Just holding them gave me the feeling of being in a pyramid of dimensions and gateways." ReGina L. Norlinde Bestselling Author

Sa'arah combines her readings with a personal coaching and tools for daily living.The laying out of the cards helps to see a particular situation or issue with more clarity and a wider perspective. This then will give a deeper understanding, revealing a possible 'roadmap' of knowingness and how to move forward.

Kelly shares her weight loss tips
1:28pm Thursday 20th December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Kelly Osbourne has launched a new campaign to help people get in shape.
The TV personality achieved a body transformation, dropping five dress sizes after her time on Dancing With The Stars, and is now sharing her tips with viewers of ITV1's Lorraine.
The 28-year-old's Kelly Osbourne Hollywood Diet will help people beat the bulge with food and fitness tips, and advice from experts in Los Angeles.
Earlier this month, Kelly took three Daybreak viewers to LA to spend a week with her diet and fitness team. Their results will be seen on Daybreak and Lorraine in January.
Kelly said: "Working with the Lorraine show is so exciting for me because I know that communicating healthy living in a language that's easy to understand can be the key to changing someone's life. That's all it took for me."
She added: "Healthy living has transformed my life and I'm so excited to be able to help anyone else who is motivated and ready to transform their own life in the same way."
The three dieters include a 38-year-old from Derbyshire who wants to lose three stone, a 62-year-old grandmother who also wants to shift three stone and a 27-year-old who will only set a wedding date with her partner once she has lost seven stone.
:: Kelly Osbourne's Hollywood Diet launches on ITV1 Daybreak and Lorraine from Wednesday January 2 and runs until January 11

WILLMAR, Minn. (AP) -- A 16-year-old has pleaded guilty to unintentional second-degree murder for his role in the killing of a 79-year-old Willmar grandmother.
Lila Warwick was slain during a robbery at her home July 29.
Under Tuesday's plea agreement, the 16-year-old lookout will get an extended juvenile sentence that will run until he turns 21, and a stayed 15-year adult sentence in case he violates the conditions of his juvenile sentence. Sentencing is set for Jan. 27.
Nineteen-year-old Brok Junkermeier and 18-year-old Robert Warwick, both of Willmar, have been indicted on first-degree murder charges in the case. Warwick allegedly masterminded the crime, suspecting his grandmother had more than $40,000 in a safe. Junkermeier allegedly stabbed and strangled her after making her write him a check.
Both face prison sentences of life without parole.

The ship was beautiful, our cabin was clean and comfortable and the crew was wonderful. We enjoyed the smaller passenger count, we had 181 and only having two decks to really have to navigate was quite nice. On the flip side....we were the youngest passengers by 15-20 years and many of these people are quite slow. We had many walking tours, even though we were divided up in 4 groups, many of the "older" passengers could not keep up, hence it slowed the rest of us down. I really think they need to put the passengers in groups by giving them a walking test of some sort. The average age is 70-80, yes they are all well traveled people BUT they are in denial of their limitations. I wish Viking would market to younger people that are more active. We could have used some bikes on the boat to just take out at our leisure, as I know other river cruise lines do this. We missed not having a fitness center even though we walked everyday.
Everyday was so structured, you get up, eat breakfast, go to the buses, do the tour, come back and eat lunch and the afternoon may or may not be at your leisure. The best day was when we were actually cruising during the day to see the castles along the Rhine, it was so much more leisurely and we didn't feel rushed in the morning. The headset idea for hearing the guide is wonderful (if they work). That way if you lagged behind to take pictures, you could still hear what they were saying.
We had a wonderful cruise director, Tom, he kept us in stitches and was very organized. We had an excellent cabin steward, she kept our room spotless and with plenty of clean towels. The food on the cruise got better with each day, not sure why they did it that way but the dining room was understaffed. Many nights our ordered was taken by the maitre d, one night we didn't even get our meal until 9:00 and we entered the dining room at 7:00. A little short staffed in the dining room. No assigned tables so everyone herds into the dining room at the appointed time. The one nice thing is the portion sizes are quite a bit smaller than a normal cruise ship, the wine was free flowing but god forbid you want a beer at dinnertime...good luck. The buffet lunch upstairs is very nice but sitting at tiny tables with 4 people got to be just impossible. We would go on another, but not for another 20 years or so.

Welcome back
The UTMB President's Cabinet is a unique and distinctive organization, dedicated to helping advance the mission of one of our country's oldest, largest and most dynamic academic health centers. Membership is composed of alumni, faculty, staff, university friends and community and business leaders.
President's Cabinet members make an important difference to UTMB. Since the Cabinet was formed in 1993, it has granted more than $5 million in awards to a variety of programs that advance and enhance our historic mission - and enrich the lives in the communities UTMB serves. These awards have been well chosen, as evidenced by the fact that many of the programs first funded by the President's Cabinet have since been recognized and rewarded with federal grants. This speaks not only to the value and importance of the university's efforts, but also to the wise judgment of Cabinet members as benefactors.
By giving unrestricted gifts—at least $1,000 for individuals ($500 for those age 40 and under) and $5,000 for corporations, foundations and other organizations—members receive the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping transform the health care environment in Texas and beyond, while also maintaining a commitment to preserve UTMB's exemplary academic health care status.
The President's Cabinet goal is two-fold:
We encourage you to become a President's Cabinet member, and discover for yourself what a difference we can make now and in the future. Also, I urge you to explore our site and witness the impact past President's Cabinet awards have made to the university, to the community, to Texas and beyond.
Explore these pages to learn more, or for more personal service, email us or call (409) 747-4876.
Capping off the 20th anniversary celebration of the UTMB President's Cabinet, several faculty, staff and students received awards for their winning projects at the event on September 6, 2013 at The Hotel Galvez. The eight awards, which promote outreach, education and improved patient care, join over 100 programs awarded by the Cabinet over the past 20 years.
Learn more about the 2013 award winning programs here.

In their four seasons in Tulsa, the WNBA's Tulsa Shock have had three different coaches. Next year they will have their fourth. Tuesday the Shock fire Gary Kloppenburg and his entire staff. "The ownership group is very appreciative of Coach Kloppenburg's efforts the last two seasons," Tulsa Shock owner and managing partner Sam Combs III said. "This was a difficult decision for the franchise. Coach Kloppenburg and his staff have been instrumental in helping to move this team forward. He is a man of character and we wish him success in his future endeavors. Ultimately it comes down to wins and losses."Before beginning his career in Tulsa the Shock had won just 9 games in two years. Coach Kloppenburg matched the Shock's win total in his first year with nine and then won a franchise record 11 games this past season."This was a not an easy decision given our personal and working relationship, but we decided to make this change with the ultimate goal of bringing a WNBA championship to Tulsa," Tulsa Shock president Steve Swetoha said. "I'm confident Gary will do well in the future. We are actively searching for a replacement for the 2014 season."
