Housing lawsuit costs authority $100,000-plus
GALVESTON — Last week, a lawsuit that sought to block construction of two mixed-income housing developments in Galveston came to conclusion, of sorts.
GALVESTON — Last week, a lawsuit that sought to block construction of two mixed-income housing developments in Galveston came to conclusion, of sorts.
TEXAS CITY — The transformation of the old Texas City High School campus into the new Blocker Middle School is complete.
LEAGUE CITY — She may have gotten hit in the mouth, but Clear Springs' Kylie Jedlicka wasn't about to go down for the count.
A look at Tuesday night's volleyball action from across Galveston County.
Oh, come on. You can't fire a police chief and expect people to be satisfied with no explanation whatsoever.
It is great that League City's Muslim American residents are asking the City Council to change the part of the recent anti-immigrant resolution which refers to "radical Islamist terror groups." Councilmember Heidi Theiss' ugly response to these community members is based on fabrications and misleading statements which reek of racism and religious bigotry.
Many of the moviegoers who have flocked to see "The Hundred-Foot Journey" have left the theater hungry, their appetites whetted by scenes of food being prepared and presented at two very different establishments, one a very formal French restaurant and the other an exuberant Indian one.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama sent special operations troops to Syria this summer on a secret mission to rescue American hostages, including journalist James Foley, held by Islamic State extremists, but they did not find them, the administration disclosed Wednesday.
Minnesota's Maya Moore has won the WNBA most valuable player award, a person close to the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.

Florida State released the salary numbers Thursday from the offer letters to new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt and new defensive assistant Sal Sunseri.
Pruitt will make $540,000 annually, roughly five-percent less than Mark Stoops made. That makes sense, given Pruitt's complete lack of experience as a coordinator. Earlier in the week, rumors circulated that Florida State was paying Pruitt close to $900,000.
Sunseri, who is expected to coach defensive ends (though he could also coach linebackers), will make $199,000 annually. That's roughly what former defensive end coach D.J. Eliot was making, before leaving for Kentucky. Sunseri is still being paid by Tennessee for the 2013 and 2014 seasons, in the amounts of $600,000 and $650,000 in 2014, respectively, to make up the difference between his original Tennessee salary and what he is making in Tallahassee.
Florida State did not release the length of the contracts, though both are slated to officially start January 5.

"It's not a big deal that you gained weight. Honestly, in the big picture, who cares? Did you live life the way you wanted to? Did you have fun? Did you find people you love? Did you learn lots of interesting things? That's probably what you're gonna care about when you're at your death bed, not about the fact that you "gained weight" when you were 21."

Affordable Solar Thermal Microgenerator Technology for Rural Cogeneration in Southern Africa
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008 - $47,031
Worldwide 1.6 billion people lack access to electricity or affordable energy solutions. For those living in rural or mountainous locations Diesel generator sets are polluting and require costly fuel; photovoltaic panels have a high up-front cost and high risk of theft. Locally produced solar thermal technology, by lowering costs relative to these alternatives, can facilitate distributed electricity provision and result in increased economic opportunity, extended waking hours for study, time saved from chores, and improved services from the business, heath and education sectors. This directly translates into an overall reduction in poverty, better living conditions at rural institutions, and improved quality of life, while stimulating the local economy and providing jobs. Indirectly, by generating power renewably, the proposed electrification scheme contributes to lowering the risks related to climate change and decreases brushwood collection and land degradation. By using a technology transfer approach and supporting local business development, the Sustainable Vision grantees aim to provide a sustainable, renewable, and affordable energy option for rural locations. Working in conjunction with local partners, including the Government and National University of Lesotho, entrepreneurs and engineers, the team intends to install a pilot system at a rural health care center to serve 50-80 patients/day, arrange technology transfer and training for Lesotho-based partners, and complete a viable business plan for a Solar ORC manufacturing facility within Lesotho to foster ongoing installations at clinics and schools through market-based mechanisms.
Cynthia Lin takes pressure data in a solar ORC test rig.
- Planet Green.com
- The team has two test sites in place, one in Lesotho at a clinic and the other at Eckerd College. Eleven units have been distributed in the US, Brazil, Mexico, UK, Portugal, Angola, and India. The team won a 100K Energy Prize from Conoco Phillips and $42,500 grant from Constellation Energy.

According to his official death certificate, actor and comedian Robin Williams was cremated one day after his death.
One person is behind bars after a meth bust Monday afternoon in Middletown.
Around 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 28, a patrol officer located a truck on Brentwood Street with a warrant attached to the license plate. The officer stopped the truck as it turned into a driveway.
A male suspect bolted into the residence as the officer spoke to the female driver, Chelsie Peck, 22.
Peck gave officers a consent to search the interior of the residence for the wanted suspect. Once inside the house, officers located a significant active methamphetamine lab.
Officers conducted an operation to stabilize the hazardous materials and chemicals used in making meth.
Peck has been charged with permitting drug abuse. The male suspect has not been located.
The incident remains under investigation.

Haven Beach Travel Tips
Haven Beach Summer Rentals: The Place for Local Summer Fun
The name sums up the character of the area. Haven Beach summer rentals are located in a place where the summer crowds are all looking for a good time. You also have the benefit of living quarters that make you feel as if you live in this haven. The local beaches offer a great place to swim, get some sun and mingle with other visitors and even residents of the local communities. Walks by the water are complemented by long stretches of soft, fine sand. There are also places to play volleyball and recreational areas to play tennis or basketball if you want to work up a sweat.
Chill Out on Your Summer Vacation
You can also be on your own, or with your family, at Haven Beach Summer Rentals. The space affords everyone in the family or group a chance to appreciate his or her privacy. Make yourself a meal instead of going to the local seafood shack, or bring some drinks back if you want to have a party at the place. The choice is yours at Long Beach Island vacation rentals, but you also have 14 miles of beaches and other activities to stay busy if you want to be out for a while.
An Island Packed With Action
Haven Beach house rentals are a financially friendly alternative to hotels as well. This frees up your budget to see other attractions, and there is something for everyone on Long Beach Island. Take a cruise, go see a movie or visit the Barnegat Lighthouse, one of the premier historical attractions on the island, or go bar or club hopping at night. Whether you like historical sites or amusement parks, seeing movies or playing golf, you can find it not far from Haven Beach house rentals on your summer getaway.

Not Your Basic Giant Mosquito
It looks like a giant mosquito.
But it isn't.
It's a crane fly (family Tipulidae), also known as a "mosquito hawk."
It's a slender, long-legged insect that cats like to target. Our cat, Xena the Warrior Princess, loves to bat them out of the air--and then look around for more.
Most crane flies "feed on decaying organic matter, but some are predaceous or feed on living plants such as mosses," according to entomologists Jerry Powell and Charles Hogue in their guidebook, California Insects.
Don't worry. This gangly mosquito-like insect won't feed on you. You're safe.

Turning Over a New Leaf
For my New Year's resolution, I resolve to turn over a new leaf.
Oh, sure, most folks resolve to eat less, exercise more, drink less, read more, stress less, save more, gripe less, and volunteer more.
Not me.
I'm turning over a new leaf.
You never know what kind of insect you'll find there or what kind of insect will "pose" for you.
Happy New Year! (And may one of your resolutions involve "turning over a new leaf.")

Melanie Oudin
By Curt Janka
CARLSBAD, California – The Tuesday night session of the Mercury Insurance Open produced a number of surprises for the fans and players. The first coming before a ball was struck. Earlier in the day, Sorana Cirstea was forced to withdraw from her scheduled match with Sloane Stephens with a right abductor strain, granting lucky loser Melanie Oudin the chance to play in the main draw. That meant fans would get to see three Americans play under the lights.
Coco Vandeweghe and Chanelle Scheepers took the court first. Scheepers entered the match with one previous win over her opponent, but Vandeweghe came out swinging, holding at love. Early in the rallies it was clear that Vandeweghe would be hitting the bigger balls, but Scheepers seemed comfortable redirecting the power. Scheepers won the first set easily, 6-2, while a frustrated Vandeweghe continued to go for winners unsuccessfully.
The second set was much more competitive as the players stayed on serve until 5-5. They then traded breaks and headed into a tie-breaker. Vandeweghe's all-or-nothing approach got the best of her in the end as Scheepers won the breaker 7-4.
Vandeweghe seems to consistently go for too much when under pressure. She can hit with great topspin and Scheepers struggled with the few off pace balls Vandeweghe hit. She has the strokes, the mentality seems to be lagging behind her talent.
The crowd was definitely buzzing about the all-American match up between Stephens and Oudin. While carrying a 2-0 record against Oudin into the match, Stephens was coming off a first round exit last week at Stanford.
Stephens started the match on fire, winning the first 4 games before letting her opponent on the board. Both players were hitting very aggressively, but Stephens' speed seemed to give her an extra edge as she slapped multiple on-the-run winners. She closed the set out at 6-1 without blinking. Stephens even got the early break in the second set, but just when she was looking unstoppable, double faults crept into her service game and she was broken. Stephens definitely had her chances in the second set going up 4-2 and even held two match points in the tie-breaker. But Oudin found her rhythm and began mixing up the pace of her shots. Once Oudin came back to with the second set breaker 8-6, all the fight seemed to leave Stephens. Oudin quickly won the third set 6-0 to surprise the crowd with a come-from-behind victory.
Asked how she turned the match around, Oudin said "My plan going into the match was trying to stay with her the whole time. The first set didn't work that well. I felt like I was controlling a lot of the points—I was just missing." She said her "forehand started working" after being down 4-2 in the second set and then everything seemed to fall into place. In the end she said "I played one of the best sets I've played in a while."
It seems winning those eight matches in Birmingham to claim her maiden title helped her find her mojo again. She said, "The biggest thing is confidence. When I walk on the court I really do think I can win these matches now. I'm finally finding my game again. I think I can be even better than when I was 30 in the world."
For now she has her sights set on peaking at the U.S. Open where she hopes to be awarded a wild card entry. A strong run here this week will certainly help her cause.

So for too many years we ran the sickle bar mower cutting hundreds of acres of hay. The rear pulley on occasion would get loose during usage - Over the years of doing that the spline shaft has worn down - so he pulley can't be tightened anymore.
This won't effect running the Gearbox and flat belt pulley - but it annoys me just the same. Anybody got one - or quite honestly am I just being too anal on this rebuild?
Me I'm addicted to restoring the cub.

The remnants of a good time are visible on the steps to one apartment building at the Southdown Arms Apartments on Raymond Road. But the dice game going on there Thursday night went downhill quickly around midnight, when 25-year-old Ricky Smith Jr., a father to at least two children according to friends, was gunned down.
"He was like a little brother to me," says a friend of the victim, who asked not to be identified.
The friend says she heard the gunshots from another apartment building.
"About five. I also heard the car when it crashed into the building," she says.
The witness says Smith made big winnings at the dice game on the steps, and left in a car with a few others, but he was called back to the game. He came alone.
"The people that shot him were in the car with him when he crashed, and jumped out and ran, and left him there to die. It was just greed, basically. Greed," she says.
The building the car crashed into is the shell of the former office building. It burned down back in August. Jackson Fire investigators tell us that fire has been confirmed as arson. No arrests have been made for that crime.
In the past, our news room has received calls from tenants at Southdown Arms about the run-down conditions. That blight lingers, and the friend of the murder victim says things are getting worse.
"I just want the residents of Jackson to get it together. This is senseless. This is a community. Children live out here. This is a senseless act of violence," she says.
As of Friday afternoon, no arrests had been made in Smith's murder.

Ratings: 16 | Reviews: 14 | Display Reviews Only:
2.13/5 rDev -45.2%
Appearance: Poured from half bottle (BB Dexi) to wide mouth glass. Dark brown, thin looking body. SRM about 25-30. Small tan head reduces to thin lacing and halo. Lazy bubbles and some chunky yeast balls interspersed throughout the beer.
Smell: Caramel, alcohol, roasty burnt rubber, plum skins. Complex yet abrasive. I'm confused and worried.
Mouth: Entrance into mouth is repulsive. Is something rotting in here? Somehow the rich character is completely killing the fact that there is a nice roast malt, burnt toast finish. Some sour quality that just doesn't work. What the heck is making that flavor? Unfortunately I don't think that this is a tainted bottle.
Drain pour.

Riserva 2007.
Dark brown, almost black color. Almost no foam.
Very vinous at the smell, with strong malt notes, light caramel.
In the mouth again vinous, with a lightly toasted malt. Red fruit, plum, grape, dried fruit.
Full taste. Cocoa notes, liqurice, chocolate, dry figs, raisins.
Good body, lightly carbonated.
Fruity and vinous aftertaste.
It's a beer that requires time in order to really appreciate all the nuances.

Found at State Line Liquors and drank in Snowball, ON with BobbyS. A complex beer of wafting aromas, creamy almost winey mouthfeel. Tastes: caramel, cocacolish with wheat, porterish mollassess, and of course yeast. Very drinkable.Chocolate, coffee.Balanced and neither overally sweet, nor bitter

3.9/5 rDev +0.3%
Pours a two finger tan head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Dark brown almost black color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Alcohol nose. Flavor is alcohol and woody, needs to be aged for a few years. Waaay overpriced at $31.95 for a 750ml blue bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA.

4/5 rDev +2.8%
A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a dark brown color and a super thick consistency with lots of sediment floating around. There was a half inch of foamy, long-lasting head and good lacing.
S: Smelled mainly of malt and some fruit.
T: Tasted of malt, a sugary component, fruit, alcohol and a little hops. Not exactly in line with a typical barleywine, but good.
M: A decent amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
D: This is an odd beer, but it has a drinkable quality. Not what I expected.

4/5 rDev +2.8%
Purchased at the BSF bar, GBBF 2009; this "non-filtered, bottle-conditioned" ale comes in a 375ml dark green bottle - like the kind used for most lambic/gauze; "Riserva 2008", BB 09/03/2014, served cool in Hapkin's bulb-shaped sniffer.
A: very dark in colour, like charred-wood brown, coming with a mild carbonation and a tan frothy head that gradually settles to a thin cap to last throughout the drink.
S: old dried fruits (raisins+prunes), stimulating black sugar, bitter-chocolaty & creamy malts sit on top of a thick body of American flowery hops plus some thick-bodied honey; the whole aroma comes with good depth and volume, backed by a soul-lifting aura mixed of sweet dried herbs and root herbs (licorice-ish as well) in the background. Very nice indeed and like an American Barley Wine, albeit less pronounced in the hop department.
T: the foretaste comes delicately yeasty-sour and lightly mouldy (like expired/lightly moulded cheese even), while it's also full of dried fruits just like the aroma suggests (raisiny, prune-ish and even grapey) and always buttressed by a rather light-bodied toffee-ish dark malts with an edge of burned nuts and black sugar... Elegantly lingering in the finish, the pleasant stream of sweet coffee, licorice-herbal tea, and tannins as of semi-roast tea leaves along with residual aroma of more dried fruits are balanced by a moderately chewy mouthfeel of decent input of hops.
M&D: very soft in carbonation and medium at most in terms of overall body, this 10%abv. ale is smooth and fairly easy to enjoy without going heavy at all. The hops profile reveals in a skilful way, as do the overall slightly old-ish characters. I'm very surprised to find this Italian take on the Old Ale (rather than any barley wine that I know of, actually) style such a mature product, that a structure of flavour is neatly presented and alc. level is certainly brilliantly camouflaged.

4/5 rDev +2.8%
Pours a murky cider like brown with a good sized medium tan head that slowly recedes. Aroma is of sweet malts, grapes come thru nicely, almost like a sweet white wine aroma, a bit of chocolate and a hint of roastiness. Taste follows with the grape showing stronger even than in the aroma, some oakiness and tannic qualities and some chocolate hiding in the back. Mouthfeel is medium in body, some biting at the front of the tongue before a nice drying begins and continues thru into the finish, the dryness balancing the sweetness. A very interesting beer, the alcohol seems well hidden. I think this could be quite good with some age.

4.08/5 rDev +4.9%
Ordered at 2Amys in Washington DC. Came in 750mL bottle.
Poured with a very thin head that disappeared almost instantly. Slightly cloudy dark brown/red, like dark stained wood.
Aroma of cocoa and roasted malt.
Taste sour, winey, with malt backbone. Dusky mouthfeel. Finishes dry with some bitterness. The sourness and malt flavor really stays on the tongue.
Went well with the pickled fresh anchovies.

From a 37.5 cl bottle, labeled 'Riserva 2007', this brew has a thin, film-like head that quickly disappears. The color is dark brown, bordering on black, with crimson red highlights in the shallows. The aroma is simply fantastic. A rich complexity of malt, roasted grain, fruity esters, alcohol, oak, vanilla, raisins, and chocolate. It's the kind of beer that is amazing to smell; there's a lot going on in there. The taste is equally good, although quite different from the norm. It is astringent and vinous, with a curious smoky and slightly acidic, tannic character. The beer is supposed to be made with Cannoau wine grapes, which is a wonderful full-bodied wine. I think that this adds to the complexity of the beer. The beer dries out by the finish, and almost becomes astringent, leaving a roasted, slightly sour flavor in the hind-taste. This is a well conceived and incredibly enjoyable (especially in the smell) brew. Well worth having.

Pours with a nice finger of lightly tan head that has some bubbliness about it and holds fairly well on a deep, dark cola brown hue. Not great lacing, though.
Aroma is really packed with lots of fruits: passion fruits, plums, prunes, all really nice. Some hop bitterness comes into play, but really leans to an English take on the style. Aroma also has notes of caramel and toffee. Flavor is decidedly less sweet than led on by the aroma, but this is a good thing for me. Still lots of fruitiness in the taste, but more on the prune-side. Nice bit of a hop kiss mid-taste; then toffee and even a coffee note sneeks in. Really lots of nice flavors, and well-balanced and enjoyable. MF is medium, with subtle, soft carbonation. Really nice sipping brew and warming, and my only complaint is that the hop profile would need to be amped up a little to make it a US Barleywine. Nonetheless, it's definitely a nice one in general. Good brew.

A: Poured a dark, vinous reddish-grape color with a thin creamy khaki head.
S: Some fresh pungent Columbus hopping, smoky woodiness, sherry notes, and dry grapefruit. There is a sweet alcohol spicing as well.
F: For flavor there is a nice charred woodiness, bitter earthy hops, and dominate sherry notes. There is a nice acidic nature to the beer in the finish providing a sour fruit tartness of spicy plums. There is a great dark bitter coffee roasted lacing on the tongue in the finish as well a gentle alcohol warming.
M: The mouthful is medium-full body, very slick and softly carbonated.
D: A dark roasted treat with a huge robust roasted flavor that is surprisingly drinkable considering abv. a great complexity of flavors makes for an enjoyable experience with a refined palate.

Ale brewed with Cannonau grapes and orange peels. Black with a tan head that quickly fades, comes back nicely with a light swirl.
Nose of sweet burnt carmel and whiskey with sherry untertones.
Mouthfeel is creamy and rich with light and elegant caronation. Tastes of quality.
Flavors are complex and layers of sweet burnt sherry/carmel to whisky prunes to rich sweet espresso. Hints of aged grapes and light candied orange peel.
Finish is a rich and thick espresso. This beer shows of quality, layered complex flavors and a rich full character. Nice all around.

Pours a very dark brown, almost prune purplish black with a huge 3 finger frothy coffee colored head with excellent retention that slowly fades into a lasting cap that coats the glass with large chunks of soapy lacing.
Roasted malt aroma with hints of bitter dark chocolate malt, dark fruits, especially plum, dark cherry and fig as well as some spice.
Roasted malt flavor with a lot of bitter dark chocolate and dark fruit, especially plum, raisin, dark cherries, grape and fig. There is also a good bit of cocoa and coffee bean to balance things out. The sweetness of the estery fruit notes are balanced by the roasted notes and the subtle hops provide a slight dry finish. The alcohol is undetectable and the excellent balance make this beer extremely quaffable. Highly recommended!

JOHN QUELCH is to be replaced as the dean of the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) after just two years in charge. The school released a terse statement on its website reading:
With the approval of the Chairman and Co-Chairman of the CEIBS Board, Professor Hellmut Schütte has been appointed as the next Vice President and Dean of the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), succeeding Professor John A. Quelch, who has successfully completed his tenure and will return to Harvard Business School at the end of January, 2013
Such brevity is contrast to the fanfare with which the school announced that it had snaffled Mr Qulech from Harvard Business School in 2010. As we noted in a long profile of Mr Quelch in 2011, as he began his tenure, landing such a big hitting professor was quite a coup for an up-and-coming Chinese school.
Hellmut Schütte, who will replace Mr Quelch, is a member of CEIBS's faculty specialising in Euro-Sino relations (CEIBS was set up as a joint venture between the European Union and the Chinese government in 1994). He is also on the faculty of INSEAD.

Dramatic picture: winds bring tree down on church at Salwarpe, near Droitwich
Updated 7:47pm Thursday 6th February 2014 in News By Paul Broome, Reporter
WATER levels on the River Severn in Worcester could beat those recorded in the notorious floods of 2007 and 2000 this weekend as bad weather continues, after high winds brought down a tree on a church today.
The Environment Agency has said the already swollen river could reach 5.40 metres on Sunday thanks to further intense rainfall yesterday evening, with more forecast tomorrow. Its peak level was 5.10m in 2000 and 5.30m in 2007.
The rain and strong winds locally also saw a large tree, thought to be hundreds of years old, topple over and land on a church.
The Environment Agency yesterday issued a flood warning for Pitchcroft, next to the already flooded Worcester Racecourse.
It was issued as further rain fell on a city gearing up for the latest storm which was set to batter the city last night.
The agency said river levels on the Severn were "rising slowly" and expected to peak Sunday.
The tree came down onto Salwarpe Church, near Droitwich, although the impact looks to be minimal.
"It has obviously done some damage but it has not caused the walls or roof to collapse," said Andrew Kristy, a member of the congregation.
Upton-on-Severn bore the brunt of the wet weather yesterday, with both New Street and the Hanley Road closed due to flooding.
"At 12:30pm on Thursday the level at the Worcester gauge was 4.59 metres and rising slowly," said an Environment Agency spokesman.
"A peak level of between 5.00 and 5.40 metres is expected on Sunday.
"River levels are expected to remain elevated due to further forecast rainfall."
In Worcester, Worcestershire County Cricket Club's New Road ground remains under water, just over six weeks before the county's first friendly of the season.
Meanwhile, Worcestershire County Council is reminding residents and motorists to use caution when out and about and to check on elderly and vulnerable neighbours.

It's the European Championship final. Spain are up 2-0, rather than 1-0, and have played some absolutely lovely football at times. Pedro was apparently worried that that wasn't quite Spain-y enough. This was his solution:
Doesn't get any more Spain-y, does it? Anyway, the actual match has been done for a while. It's so done, in fact, that Fernando Torres is now on the pitch. Nothing to see here. Go about your business, citizens of Earth.

Recognising intercultural competence: What shows that I am interculturally competent?
We invite you to test a new, draft tool to support you on the way to a fuller understanding of yourself in the context of diversity.
It was developed in a long process coordinated by the Pestalozzi Programme and the Intercultural Cities project of the Council of Europe and the European Wergeland Centre with the help of a team of experts/ trainers:
Ms Ildikó Lázár, coordinator, Hungary
Ms Olena Styslavska, Poland
Mr Hugo Verkest, Belgium
Being interculturally competent has widely been recognised for decades as essential for peaceful coexistence in a diverse world. Numerous recent policy papers and recommendations of international organisations, such as The White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue (Council of Europe, 2008) have also expressed this need very clearly. Intercultural competence is a key competence that every individual should work on for the development and maintenance of sustainable democratic societies.
A group of 30 teachers, school heads and experts from all over Europe met in a three-day Think Tank, drawing on the shared expertise of the participants and on the recent results of research and project work within the Council of Europe and other international organisations. The tool was then tested by teachers and school heads in a large number of countries and it was then finalized taking into account the rich feedback received during the testing period.
The main components which make up intercultural competence - attitudes, skills and knowledge - are described in the form of I-statements describing observable behaviour that can be associated with specific aspects of the components. Naturally, the components are interconnected since the knowledge we have about the world and about human interaction as well as our attitudes towards these can only be made visible and observable through our behaviour. Moreover, skills development and knowledge acquisition can only increase intercultural competence if we have the right attitudes and use the knowledge and skills we have acquired accordingly. It is precisely for this reason, because of the importance of attitudes, that these sub-components outnumber those of the skills and the knowledge described in our list of indicators.
What shows that you are interculturally competent? The tool is intended to help you look at yourself, at your intercultural competence, and recognise your strong points as well as areas which need further development.
And finally, if your time allows, we invite you to share with us what you think about the usefulness of the tool itself by filling in an online questionnaire http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/iccopen. We will review the tool after that and elaborate a final version.

Murfreesboro police say two final suspects have been arrested in connection to the Demos' restaurant robbery Monday morning.
Cristan Jarvis, 21, and a 17-year-old juvenile were taken into custody Thursday in Memphis on charges of criminal conspiracy, aggravated robbery and two counts of theft after the Broad Street business was robbed about 7 a.m.
Police believe Jarvis and the teen worked with two other suspects, including a Demos' employee, in the crime.
Ramar Garrison, 26, of Murfreesboro, had only been working at Demos' for 4 1/2 months, but it didn't take long for him to learn the ins and outs of how things worked - especially the cash flow at the popular restaurant.
"Ramar no longer had a job with us after something like that. No one wants to see him near us again," said restaurant owner Peter Demos.
Demos said there were seven employees and a delivery man inside when Garrison, Jarvis, the unidentified juvenile and 25-year-old Christopher Clark allegedly robbed them of their wallets and cell phones, along with the restaurant itself.
"They're all still at various stages of being shaken up. Some are handling better than others," Demos said.
The owner said the robbery is that much harder knowing it was an inside job.
"When it's a member of the restaurant family, it does make it a lot more intense. The pain is much worse," he said.
A manager locked himself inside the restaurant office, hit the panic button and called police, before the robbers got inside and took thousands of dollars.
His quick thinking helped police arrive to the scene within 47 seconds and nab the suspects. Once the suspects spotted police, they allegedly started throwing money in the wind.
"Such quick response is the reason they were caught and a good reason our employees are safe today," Demos said.
"They robbed the employees at gunpoint. They got money from the restaurant - an undisclosed amount of money at this time," said Murfreesboro police Maj. Clyde Adkison.
Randy King was painting a nearby business when he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
"(It's) kind of nerve-wracking," King said.
King said next thing he knew, there were cops everywhere.
"It blew my mind. It's crazy. There are like nine cops cars and they are still coming in," he said.
This is not Garrison's first alleged run in with the law. According to court documents, he was on probation for stealing money from another business where he once worked.
Garrison was accused of taking more than $4,000 from T.J. Maxx by accepting cash under the table from certain customers instead of ringing up the purchases over a four-month period.
Demos said he had no idea about Garrison's past. If he had known, he said he never would have hired him.
"We do not want people who has criminal backgrounds involving dishonesty or sex crime. Other crimes, we are willing to give people second chance for," Demos said.

Who hasn't dreamed of visiting Italy, even if it's just for a short while? Picture it: lounging in the espresso shops, reading by one of the fountains, dining al fresco with friends, taking a break for gelato…
Some RCI subscribing members have already enjoyed a vacation rental or timeshare exchange vacation in Italy and everything the country has to offer. Since my position at RCI allows me to hear from members about their European vacations, I thought I'd share a few stories* with you:
Larry, Olympia, WA: Last May, when we arrived at Il Poggio, our first week's stay, it was 9:50 p.m. The resort office closed at 10 p.m., and we were worried we wouldn't make it. We had a stressful drive from the Rome airport, and were hungry and tired. Il Poggio is located in a small town in Tuscany, and by that time of night, the few stores and eateries were closed. The owner graciously sent a tray of salami, cheese, and bread to our room, and it was even enough for breakfast the next morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there, followed by a lovely week on Sardinia, and another week in northern Tuscany.
George, El Cajon, CA: Our trip to Italy was fantastic. We went from Assisi to Sicily. All four weeks were with our RCI weeks. Assisi and Tropea were our favorite. This was a chance for my wife to explore her roots in Sicily and we had a great time with long lost family. Thanks RCI.
Richard, Monroe Township, NJ: Just got back from a wonderful week in Montegrotto Terme. We were a 10-minute train ride from Padua and a 60-minute train ride from Venice. The property was wonderful and located near the train station. The hotel staff was great and the room was immaculate. The town's shops were very good for browsing and shopping. The food on the half-board was very good and we would return to this property again.
Now it's your turn! Do you have any experiences from your trip to Italy you'd like to share? If so, comment below.
* Although we've corrected some spelling and technical errors, these vacation stories from RCI members are otherwise unchanged. They are not meant to inform you about resorts, destinations or about RCI® products and services. Some stories mention unusual exceptions made or circumstances that may not be typical for most vacationers. RCI always recommends that you do your own research when making travel plans.

Republicans are just plain daft, part 2
One of the most prosaic lines in film history is in 1974's Godfather II. When Vito Corleone (Robert DeNiro) is asked by Peter Clemenza (Bruno Kirby) if he checked out the package of oily guns Clemenza had left him as the NYPD was hauling Clemenza away, Corleone replies coolly that "I'm not interested in things that don't concern me".
At that point, we realize that the future Don was not a Republican.
Today's GOPster clown cultist is obsessed with things that do not concern them. Embryos and fetuses germinating in women they've never met. Same sex couples marrying thousands of miles from them. The well-being of the same plutocracy that do not pay them the same mind back in the least.
Conversely, when it is things that do concern them--Gulf oil spills, rising seas, warrantless searches of emails and phone calls, endless wars---oddly indifferent.
When someone prioritizes the irrelevant over the important, what else can one say?
They're fucking daft.
endlessly how much money some people have, when that has little to do with the economic wellbeing of the vast majority. It's not as if taking all of Bill Gates' wealth and giving it to the 300 million plus Americans would make any difference to them.
So both parties are playing the same game here - obsessing about people who they don't know who do not matter and who they don't care about.
Actually, while nobody here came close to proposing the confiscation of the sum total of Bill Gates' wealth, 136 billion dollars distributed 300,000,000 ways would yield $456 for every man woman and child in the U.S.; almost $1200.00 per household.
The "left" would like the government to stop bailing out the economy-wrecking top tier and that said top tier's Cayman-stashed wealth be subject to the same taxes as everyone else's.
Which means that it very much affects them.
Nice try, though.
as US citizens are taxed on their world-wide income regardless of location.
US corporations can defer tax on profits that have not yet been repatriated, but that is mainly a result of the fact that corporate tax rates in the Us are the highest in the west apart from Japan.
That said, i do agree with you that GM should have been allowed to fail. We do not need to have a car industry at all, but we do need some form of banking system.
You'd throw hundreds of thousands of people out of work but protect the scum who collapsed the economy? Seriously?
BTW, US tax rates are among the lowest of industrialized nations, not highest. And too many companies use off-shore accounts to keep from paying anything in taxes. See GE for that; took thousands of American jobs to China, paid zero income tax, and got a $3.5b tax credit to next year's taxes for it.
Letting the banks close would have led to far more layoffs than GM.
And corporate tax rates are very high in the US. That's why US corporations go to great lengths to minimize their liability - because the tax rates are punitive.
The top tax rate for corporations in the US is 35%
The rate they actually pay is about 12%. That is from the CBO.
It's like the 39% "top tax rate" that no one in the top 1% pays (cf Mitt "12.9%" Romney).
Even France taxes it's corporations less. So is it any wonder that US corporations optimize and finesse their liabilities? Of course not.
And everyone (apart from you, allegedly) understands that one's highest marginal tax rate, on the last dollar of income, is nothing like one's average blended tax rate.
Come on, JAW, you may be dumb but you're not that dumb.
"Letting the banks close would have led to far more layoffs than GM."
Are you fucking nuts? Even our foreign competitors were talking up stopping GM's slide! Both the banks and GM needed a fix. Though I would have done the banking "bailout" differently, when you have firms unable to make payroll because of a credit freeze, well...think about it. As for GM, once again, a collapse in that firm (not to mention Chrysler, though not as much) would have eventually lead to difficulties for Ford. The libertarian idea of just letting the market do its think here is must more cartoon logic. If GM were an eighth of its size and we had 6-7 more firms making autos here, then perhaps. But General Motors is practically an economic of a nation-state at this point. If they failed along with letting the banks fail, I truly believe in my heart that we would have seen a New Depression instead of the Great Recession.
We can import cars - we cannot import a banking system.
Yeah, we could import our cars, but then why? You're not seeing it, and I am beginning to think you're not capable of it.
Apple Computers Inc. does not entirely pay what it really earns world wide. They utilize a slew of companies to hide that income in the form of royalties going towards "foreign" entities. And Apple isn't the only one doing this.
Secondly, the effective tax rate is much different than the official tax rate. A C-corp could earn say a hundred million dollars, but through the right investments and expense deductions, could actually end up paying next to nothing. Indeed, some companies actually get cash back!
Lastly, regarding GM, allowing them to fail would have had catastrophic results. Even Toyota, their biggest competitor at the time, begged Uncle Sam to do something. Why? Parts suppliers, be it here or in Asia, could have seen their industry witness a massive shakedown if one of their largest clients literally shut down overnight. The ripple effect would have been enormous!
US rate of corporate tax is so excessive, punitive and confiscatory.
Cheap and easy words to use, that sound good "like death tax" but are hollow. I own 2 C-corps, I know damn well that the official tax rates really take into effect after deductions. So tell me, how are they "excessive" "punitive" and "confisicatory"? Nothing is stopping your average corporation in the S&P 500 from conducting business. They seem to have enough dough to pay out pretty nice executive compensation packages. So go ahead, please, if you're able, be specific.
An atrocious example.
The US is 53rd or 55th in taxes, in reality: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/01/how-low-are-us-taxes-compared-to-other-countries/267148/
Please--spare me the nonsense. The US has no VAT, as long as you're talking blended.
And yes--you're daft--because you pay nowhere near these rates at all and spend every day here taint massaging away.
so that is a red herring.
The US does have lower taxes, which of course is why we have a more dynamic economy. But the US corporate tax rates are ridiculously high which, as we have known since Laffer, means that almost no corporation will pay them.
So let's reduce those tax rates and watch our economy grow!
Thank you, Johnny Angel. This daft Republican series is one to beat the band!
With the SFBG upheaval of recent days, I become more convinced than ever that JAW is being paid in MUNI transfers. How masterfully he connects the dots between the Godfather, gay marriage, and Obama's endless wars.
"I become more convinced than ever that JAW is being paid in MUNI transfers."
Of what use would MUNI transfers be to Johnny in LA?
Looks like Johnny has been voted off the island - I said Johnny would be kicked off this blog by Tuesday afternoon at the latest, and his last post was Tuesday, 1:45 PM.
inevitable that that would be reversed quickly. JAW simply provided some volume while everything else was in disarray.
And JAW's old-school commie politics was more like the old SFBG, i.e. mindlessly anti-business, rather than the new, more moderate focus of the new management.
Yeah, I wondered whether hiring belligerent, not-too-perceptive, Angeleno, Johnny as the most prolific blogger on the SFBG website wasn't something of a calculated gesture of disrespect towards senior management.
At least Tim tried to make the intellectual case for rent control - Johnny simply announced that it was self-evident that rent control was a good thing, and berated anybody who thought that it wasn't quite so self-evident.
A little wry satire to lighten the burden of hard times.
I think that the Johnny argument that I'll remember most fondly was his argument that tech jobs in San Francisco would inevitably migrate to LA, since San Francisco is so small, and Los Angeles is so big.
I mean, I had heard rumors that there might be a tech firm or two in the Bay Area located outside of San Francisco, but I must have been wrong about that.
Johnny, along with the rest of the SFBG staff, firmly believed that there was a force-field event-horizon surrounding the City of San Francisco, and that any person or business that existed or moved outside that force field, immediately and completely disappeared from view.
it's native habitat is between these pages.
Odd really, since this is not a San Francisco paper, but a San Francisco BAY paper. You know? Those nine counties and dozens of cities that you'd hardly knew existed if you got all your news only here.
I do recall that the SFBG at one point had an "East Bay edition". I don't know what happened to that - the SFBG probably got their lunch eaten by the East Bay Express, and retreated back into their 49-square-mile fortress.
Maybe that bad experience helped cement their view that there was nothing in the Bay Area outside San Francisco.
could be changed to the "San Francisco Guardian" rather than pretend, via the "Bay" in it's title, that it claims to cover the entire urban area rather than just the downtown part of it.
Well, Bruce worked for the Redwood City Tribune before he founded the SFBG, for God's sakes.
When he came up with the name, he probably didn't realize how narrowly geographically focused the paper would turn out to be.
Presumably because it is the kind of "loser nirvana" that they love to advocate.
Maybe the odd honorable mention for Berkeley, whose politics are certainly whacky enough for the SFBG, but there is that faint fear that Berkeley is full of wealthy academics who like to eat well at restaurants.
Then there is the million plus people who live in the South Bay, who might as well not exist for all the attention they get here.
I'm hoping that now changes and that we treat our one large urban metropolis as, well, one large urban metropolis rather than a hundred bankanized petty fiefdoms.

Mattia Destro scored the only goal of the game after five minutes to condemn Pescara to their third successive defeat. It was a stern test for new coach Cristiano Bergodi, who picked up from where Giovanni Stroppa left off - with a loss. Roma move into joint fifth position, while their opponents prop up the table.
Pescara came into the game without suspended trio Damiano Zenon, Marco Capuano and Emmanuel Cascione, while injured duo Giuseppe Colucci and Manuele Blasi also sat out.
Miralem Pjanic deputised for the suspended Daniele De Rossi, while Destro earned a rare start in place of the injured Erik Lamela. Rodrigo Taddei and Maarten Stekelenburg remained on the sidelines.
Destro was first to react after Mattia Perin couldn't hold Francesco Totti's venomous free kick, and he registered his second goal in a Roma shirt. Speaking of shirts, this time Destro kept his on, learning from his Palermo mistake earlier in the season.
Poor decision making from Mauro Goicoechea almost let Francesco Modesto in on 20 minutes, as the young goalkeeper hesitated before coming for a loose ball. The Uruguayan custodian redeemed himself and got the ball clear.
A good save from Perin denied Destro a second goal on 32 minutes. The frontman met Totti's inch perfect cross and powered a header at goal, only to see it palmed over. Marquinhos ballooned over the resulting corner from a few yards out.
The visitors laid siege to the Pescara goal in the first five minutes of the second half. Christian Terlizzi stood firm to stop Destro from turning him. Moments later, the frontman just missed getting on the end of an Ivan Piris ball.
After Alessandro Florenzi fired wide of the post, Destro hooked a shot wide when all alone in the box. The former Genoa and Siena man wrongly thought he was offside, as he and Pablo Daniel Osvaldo were both left unmarked. Osvaldo was offside, but Destro wasn't. Perin denied the frustrated forward once again, saving a low drive with his legs.
Ten minutes in, Juan Fernando Quintero was booed off the pitch by his own fans as the ineffective Colombian made way for Vladimir Weiss.
Just short of the hour, Perin was rooted to the spot and could only watch as Totti curled a shot wide of the far post. On the hour, Federico Balzaretti crossed for Destro to spurn another chance and head wide.
Roma lost Florenzi to a hamstring injury and Destro was withdrawn, following a studs-up challenge by substitute Danilo Soddimo. The Pescara man was rightly booked and lucky not to be dismissed.
Totti was the driving force behind Roma going forward and saw a long range effort parried to safety. Pescara suddenly awoke from their slumber and came into the match during the last ten minutes.
Goicoechea went down awkwardly from a Terlizzi challenge after catching a routine cross, but was alright to continue.
The home side's best chance came on 83 minutes. Matti Lund Nielsen's shot ricocheted off the arm of Marquinhos and the ball fell nicely to the feet of Elvis Abbruscato in the box, but his shot hit the Roma defence. The visitors took the ball down the other end, only for Marquinho to slip at the crucial moment, which saw the chance go begging.
In the final minutes, the energetic Weiss blazed over from the edge of the box, then played Abbruscato in, only to see his shot deflect wide.

Two 19-year-old men — one from Lawrence and the other from Lowell — were killed early New Year's Day following a disastrous crash in Andover while attempting to flee from police down Route 28 in Lawrence, state police said.
Cesar Rodriguez of 135 Bowdoin St., Lawrence, and Quadeer Dicks of 25 South Walker St., Lowell, were both thrown from the 2007 Acura they were driving in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, according to a spokesman for the Massachusetts State Police
Spokesman David Procopio said the crash, which occurred over the line in Andover, marked the end of a high-speed chase called off by Lawrence police.
The department tried pulling the vehicle over for speeding and it took off at a high rate of speed, Procopio said.
Procopio said that after Lawrence police broke off the chase, they continued following the suspects on Route 28 into Andover, where they eventually discovered the crash at around 2:45 a.m.
Both men were found ejected from the vehicle, with the car resting in a snow-covered grass area by one of the on-ramps to Interstate 495, he said.
The suspects were transported to Lawrence General Hospital, where Dicks was declared dead, Procopio said. Rodriguez was flown by medical helicopter to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where he later died, he said.
State Police are still looking into several details surrounding the crash, including who was driving and where the victims were coming from, Procopio said.
"It was early New Year's morning, so we are investigating where they may have been coming from if they were out celebrating the new year," he said.
The Acura they were driving was registered to an Amesbury woman, though it wasn't reported stolen at the time of the crash, according to Procopio.

Aston Villa host Birmingham City in the first of Sunday's English Premier League matches. The Second City Derby features rivals separated by just a point, with Villa looking to regain a European place in the table, and Birmingham City trying to prove that they deserve to be fixtures in the Premier League. With the news announced that the Birmingham clubs will now face each other in the next round of the Carling Cup, with the tie taking place at the end of November, the derby will likely be feistier than ever.
Before the end of ninety minutes in Birmingham, the Tyne-Wear derby kicks off, with Sunderland traveling to St. James Park to face rivals Newcastle. Sunderland haven't won at St. James since 2000, but perhaps a bit of Halloween luck will be on their side, and the Magpies will suffer in the path of the Black Cats. After all, the team has lost just once in nine league matches, but then again, a win for the home side would put Newcastle over their rivals, an incentive the Toon will surely capitalize on.
Sunday ends with Liverpool traveling to Reebok Stadium to take on Bolton Wanderers. The Reds hope to build upon last week's win against Blackburn by stopping the marauding Trotters, another club that's only lost once this season. With Fernando Torres finally ending his scoring drought last weekend, the visitors may be able to break free of the draw that seems the forgone conclusion of a match with Bolton.
Here at SB Nation Soccer, we'll be providing updates throughout this lovely Halloween day. Kick-off comes in an hour--until then, check out our preview stream, breaking down all of today's matches.

Eagles' Runners Headed to Disney World
FORT MYERS, Fla. - On Saturday morning, the Florida Gulf Coast University men's and women's cross country teams will run in the Walt Disney World Cross Country Classic at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. The men's team will begin the 8K race at 7:45 am with the women following with the 5K event at 8:55 am.
This popular annual event attracts numerous colleges, high schools and middle schools from around the country. In 2005, 73 college teams and 256 high school teams from 20 states were represented. The fast 3K, 5K, and 8K courses provide athletes a variety of terrain and a unique view of Disney's sports complex. The Eagles will have a chance to see where they stack up against major Division I foes as well as some of the top D-II schools in the region.
At last year's Disney Classic, junior Mike Harney (North Fort Myers, Fla.) had the best finish on the men's side. He finished in 85th overall with a time of 28:06.19. FGCU finished 21st out of 38 teams. Harney's 8K time was good for 8th place on the Eagles' all-time list. This weekend, he will look to improve on his previous finish while freshman standout Kyle Brunette (Venice, Fla.) will try to better his Eagles' freshman 8K record time of 27:48.2.
The FGCU women's squad also finished the race No. 21 of 38 in last year's race. The Eagles' had solid finishes by senior Katy Steffan (Naples, Fla.) and junior Cadie Sly (Loxahatchee, Fla.). In 2004, Steffan set a school 5K record at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex with a time of 19:40. Freshman Abbie Zaspel (Burlington, Wisconsin) shaved nearly 19 seconds off of Steffan's time to take over the top spot on the Eagles all-time list with an excellent finish earlier this season at the 2006 Gator Invitational.
Last week, the men's team competed at the 2006 Division II Pre-National Invitational. This race gave the men a chance to run an organized 10K event before heading off to the NCAA Regional Championships in November. The Eagles had two Top 50 finishers in Harney and Brunette. Harney, who has emerged as FGCU's leader, eclipsed his own personal best time in the 10K with a 36:07 finish.
The women's cross country team finished fourth in the flrunners.com Invitational in Tampa, Fla. last Saturday. Zaspel, Sly, and freshman Casey Hasten (Fort Myers, Fla.) all crossed the finish line in the Top 20. As a team, the Eagles defeated three Division I schools in Stetson, South Florida, and Bethune-Cookman.
After this weekend's event, the Eagles only have two races left for the season. Next Friday, both teams will head to Deland, Fla. to compete in the Stetson Hatter Invitational. The women will begin the 5K race at 4:30 in the afternoon and the men will start the 8K run at 5:10 pm.

My daughter purchased the matching earrings for me for Mother's Day. I just had to have this bracelet. Both of these items are exceptional! The sterling is shiny and beautiful and the gemstones are clear and bright. You won't be sorry if you purchase either item.

My sister and I bought this bracelet for our niece's 20th birthday.While I haven't seen it in person, the recipient loves it. If someone gave this to me, I'd love it, too! Very pretty colors.

I know I made this once for my family reunion. It makes a lot and looks pretty in the bowl. Since this was made long ago I can't fairly say as to how I liked it. Seeing as how though I only made this one time kinda tells me It must not have been a raving success.
My husband's mother use to make German Potatoe Salad & he thinks this receipe is very close. We liked it very much!!!
I frowned at the 1 cup of sugar recipe but was really surprised by the taste, very flavorful. Next time I'm going to try to reduce the sugar in half & see how that tastes maybe even try a sugar supplement. But the taste was worth the one cup of sugar. Thank you.
lilygirl - I agree, too much sugar. I will substitute with 1/2 cup honey.
this is exactly like my grandmother's recipe, this is requested at all family get togethers and pot lucks! do add more bacon to the recipe.
