It's never fun watching a Panthers' loss three times -- but it does give you a full picture of exactly where the team went right and wrong. Today we take a look at two key plays that helped contribute to Carolina's loss, as well as some overall observations on why things went wrong.
Better on review
DeAngelo Williams played a much better game than I initially thought. It was unfair to put much of his success on the offensive line, and in review it's impressive how much he was able to do with so little help on the right side. Williams was assisted by excellent ancillary play from Mike Tolbert, Greg Olsen, Ben Hartsock and Richie Brockel -- but that's no substitution for good in-line blocking. Chris Scott was better at right guard than left, but still failed throughout the day, while Byron Bell couldn't hold his edge blocks.
Williams saw holes extremely well and was patient in the backfield as he allowed the fullbacks and tight ends to lead block for him. He played a very good game, fumbles aside.
Brandon LaFell has been chided by fans in the postmortem and no player on the offense deserves it less. LaFell was routinely getting separation and finding himself open. In watching every pass play there were three occasions he was wide open for the deep pass and overlooked, with several intermediate opportunities falling by the wayside.
Charles Godfrey has been critiqued for his position on the late Jermaine Kearse touchdown that sealed Seattle's victory. In review nothing could be further from the truth. Godfrey was sitting in Cover 1, standing at the far hash mark pre-snap, where two receivers were line up. He was on an island and did a stellar job to realize the play was in trouble as soon as Kearse got outside positioning on Josh Thomas. He broke for the sideline while Russell Wilson was still making his reads and did a great job just to catch up with the play.
Here's a photo illustrating how early Godfrey made his break on Kearse.
He's in no man's land. The real question is why the Panthers were running Cover 1.
Worse on review
Cam Newton wasn't as stellar as first and second watching suggests. The Panthers' quarterback finished with an excellent completion percentage and made some smart decisions, but this idea that he was "taking what the defense was giving him" is absolutely untrue.
Some of this is the offensive scheme's fault. The game plan was to target the Seahawks' linebackers by making Greg Olsen the first read. On paper this seems to make sense, but it became abundantly clear that Seattle's secondary was leaving open plays for receivers. Mike Shula didn't adjust, Newton kept targeting Olsen -- that's a huge reason why the Panthers lost.
I counted 10 occasions where Olsen was the primary read and oftentimes Newton was staring down the tight end. This is the most egregious example from Sunday.
Newton is making his drop and the free safety is already making a break towards Olsen as the quarterback is staring down the tight end. Ted Ginn is cutting back at the lower potion of the screen, and he would be a better read here. Brandon LaFell got free release in the slot and you'll see what happens.
The safety has completely committed to Olsen and LaFell is behind all the coverage running the skinny post. Newton locks on to Olsen and throws an incomplete pass into double coverage (a drop), while LaFell would have strolled into the end zone for an easy touchdown. All it would have taken was Newton looking off the safety and not forcing the pass to the tight end.
On final review
The blame still lies on the field as well as the sideline. The Carolina Panthers failed to execute a fundamentally flawed game plan that took the ball out of the hands of the team's weapons and turned the game into Newton-Olsen pitch-and-catch.
There's a lot Cam Newton should have done better and Mike Shula should have realized that the vaunted Seahawks' coverage wasn't quite as brilliant as it's cracked up to be. There were opportunities that were left on the field due to lack of adjustment, and both Newton and Shula need to evaluate the problems before facing Buffalo.

Hi everyone,
I'm stuck with few backup files (*.NBF) created using Nokia 3720c which contain ~7000 text messages (SMS) altogether which I must extract somehow.
I've discovered that NBF files are actually ZIP archives, so I was able to unpack them and locate messages inside predefmessages folder.
But messages are in binary format which I'm not familiar with. I have investigated few of them byte by byte and I was able to extract phone number (unicode string starting at offset 0x5F) and message body (also unicode string, starting at offset: 0xF6 + value of byte at offset 0x07, first two bytes at that offset define length of the string). I just cannot extract date/time information. I suspect that it's located somewhere between offset 0xB0 and message body but I cannot find any useful data in that area (I've checked all datetime formats I know about: DATE, FILETIME, DOS date/time, time_t and time64_t but nothing useful came up).
Is there anyone familiar with this format, or maybe there is some format specification online (I've googled, but found nothing)?
thank's in advance!

if isole put out a record better than the new candlemass this new album must really suck
because isole sucks is what im getting at
i'll listen to this but im not hopeful of anything involving rob lowe, the guy's voice is just way to effeminate for doom metal
Yah. Isole had a great singer, but that's their only real selling point. I;m not too familiar with Lowe era Candlemass but i'll be sure to get accuainted with it soon enough.
lowe was on their last album and he ruined it
I like Lowe in Solitude Aeturnus, but he seems to have a hard time pulling off some of the more aggressive parts on the last Candlemass album.
As for the new Isole... I've never liked what I've heard from them, but the new one is actually pretty good.Digging: Nero Di Marte - Derivae
Digging: Nero Di Marte - Derivae
it will be interesting to see how this stacks up against the last outing by Solitude Aeturnus "Alone" - which I thought was very solid. Actually I tend to prefer Solitude Aeturnus to Candlemass, but we'll see.

The next time you're at the register and the cashier asks, "paper or plastic," it could soon cost you. Connecticut legislators are considering a proposal to charge shopper a nickel for each plastic or paper bag they carry away their groceries or other merchandise in. Unlike the 5-cent bottle and can deposit, the "paper or plastic" fee is non-refundable. "I think it's ridiculous, we get charged too much as it is in Connecticut," Douglas Taylor of South Windsor said outside Geissler's grocery store in East Windsor.
Gail Kirchner is on the flip-side of the nickel fee. "That is a good idea, that's a great idea because then they're going to go to these bags." The bags Kirchner is referring to are the $1 reusuable ones found at most, if not all, grocery stores. And that's exactly what fee supporters at the Capitol are hoping for -- steering shoppers to reusables so that less paper or plastic clog up landfills. "Environmentally I'm for it, I think it's a good idea, it's time we clean things up," Geissler's Grocery Manager, Charles Nordell said.
Nordell figures plastic is the bag of choice for most shoppers. "Plastic is the top bag going out the door, we go through approximately 20 cases of 500 a week." Nordell added, "Not even a quarter of that comes back to us and goes towards recycling."
As far as the argument goes that the nickel fee could hurt small business, Nordell doesn't think so. He says people still have to shop. Douglas Taylor, however, will never be sold on the reusable bags, even if a few were give to him for free. "I don't know when i'm coming to the store so I don't just keep them in my car all the time, so i'd forget them and I would have to buy them all the time anyway, so the paper bags or the plastic bags are the best thing going."
The Environment Committee passed the nickel fee proposal in a 21-9 vote. It's now going to the House for further action. If the fee ever becomes law, the money it generates will go into a state fund to subsidize recycling programs.

Imagine living on a street where the pothole situation is so severe that patching them no longer does the trick.
That's the frustration residents in one Quincy neighborhood are experiencing.
Tammy Mills who lives on Melview Road says the potholes on her street make driving a headache.
"Pretty bumpy. There's quite a few potholes," said Mills.
And Kenneth Crabill who lives just off of Melview Road says he's been experiencing the same bumps for years during his regular bike rides down the road.
"So many pot holes you can't miss them all because of all the traffic on Melview, so you end up hitting all the pot holes on your bike," said Crabill.
And both Mills and Crabill say the problem isn't getting any better.
"They've tried to patch them here and there with asphalt and tar but it doesn't last," said Mills.
"It gets worse every year, but it's been bad for years," said Crabill.
Quincy City Engineer Jeff Steinkamp says pothole season is in full swing and crews are already out repairing them, but says there are severe situations like Melview Road that need extra attention.
"There reaches a point of no return. The pot holes you keep filling them and filling them and you're not going to get anywhere," said Steinkamp.
Steinkamp says the city has plans in the works to completely resurface Melview Road, but there is no timeline yet for completion.
Seinkamp says they have to work with the county on this project though, because it's partially in their district.
For Mills, the fix can't come soon enough, because she says it's been a long time coming.
"Maybe every couple of years you see maybe see a little patch of asphalt in one of the holes, but not very often. It's been quite a while," said Mills.

Remember, Objectivity can be really tricky.
Because of the deceptive nature of the martinlutherking.org site, the King Center has changed the format of their web page to eliminate confusion. This is what the King Center's web site looks like as of January 2002:
For a long time this is what the King Center's site looked like:
This page displays the previous format of the page maintained by the King Center, established by Coretta Scott King "as a living memorial dedicated to the preservation and advancement of the work of Martin Luther King." This site is certainly authoritative and has a positive attitude toward its subject. The site is biased in a positive way- "...dedicated to the...advancement..." of its subject, and is forthright in telling you so.
This second site, however, is a good example of a deceptive site. The deception lies in the fact that it attempts to hide its bias. Why does martinlutherking.org look so much like the original King Center site? Do the creators of this site hope you'll mistake it for the King Center? Also, you'll notice no obvious indication as to who is resonsible for the site. The only way to find out is to click on the link to contact the webmaster. Clicking on this link reveals the webmaster's email address. Notice the affiliation in the email address- "stormfront.org" If you search the internet for their web site you discover that they are a white supremacist organization- certainly not an objective source of information about the civil rights leader.
Here is a site maintained by the Seattle Times. The stories and photos come from past issues of the newspaper. Because the Seattle Times is a reputable newspaper and because journalists have a certain level of commitment to objectivity, this site could be said to be more objective than the others.
For similar reasons, this site may be the most objective of all. By following the "About the Project " link, you can learn that the King Papers Project is the result of a collaboration between Stanford University and the King Center. Their mission is to "...publish a definitive fourteen-volume edition of King's most significant correspondence, sermons, speeches, published writings, and unpublished manuscripts." By making original documents available on the web without interpretive comment, the project allows researchers to form their own conclusions from the materials.

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.

From Staff Reports
Washington Times Herald
The Washington boys bowling team had some holes to fill after graduating four seniors from last year's regional champions.
After Saturday's regional this year at Franklin Lanes, it appears those holes were filled just fine.
Washington won its second consecutive regional title, bowling 3,115 to finish first in the qualifying round before shooting Baker games of 235 and
190 to win the regional championship against Terre Haute South.
"We graduated four seniors from last year¹s team," Washington coach Kevin Bowen said. "We had one senior this year and even one freshman. The margin of winning this year was rather surprising. Six of the eight teams had posted very good sectional scores." The Hatchets will also send individual qualifiers Kelsey Burton from the girls competition and Wes Richardson in the boys competition to the semistate set for Southern Bowl in Greenwood.
Burton shot 540 to make the individual field, while Richardson shot 654 in the boys competition.
Washington easily topped Terre Haute South in the team qualifying with South shooting 2,937 to Washington¹s 3.115.
Terre Haute South then lost the final stepladder final match to the Hatchets with games of 176 and 183.
"It is very satisfying to have a team come back and bowl this well," Bowen said. The two regional titles have been the first achieved by teams from Washington. "They have bowled very well all year (undefeated in Blue Chip South competition). I had my four and five bowlers back (Chase Ragens and Nathan Sult). Nathan has been our anchor bowler the last two years, and he feels very comfortable in that position. The team has really hit a different plateau this year in the tournament." Ragens and Jon Harner had also qualified for individual competition for boys. Ragens (592) missed the final spot by nine pins and Harner (589) by 12. They will be the second and third alternates to the semistate.
Twelve boys teams will be in competition at Greenwood, seeking six spots for the state final at Mike Aulby¹s Arrowhead Bowl in Lafayette the following weekend.

In a recent blog post, Russell Moore laid out why he believes blasphemy laws are wrong. He writes, "Fundamentally... blasphemy laws and other uses of state power to enforce religious belief or worship are themselves a repudiation of the beliefs themselves. A religion that needs state power to enforce obedience to its beliefs is a religion that has lost confidence in the power of its Deity."
Take a minute to read his article. Don't worry, we'll wait.
Now, there are numerous problems with this article. For starters...
We now live in a nation under blasphemy laws. Some are written as diversity codes or hate crimes. Many others are unwritten. There is no god but Tolerance and Moral Relativism is his/her prophet. Try opposing sodomy, feminism, abortion, paganism, or antinomianism in the workplace, classroom, legislature, or boardroom...
You'll be marginalized, if not silenced or fired, as a bigot beset by irrational animus and prejudice. Take, for example, the Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct that govern lawyers. I may not refuse to represent a homosexual on the basis of that man's homosexuality. College students studying to join the helping professions aren't being allowed their union cards if they want to love homosexuals by not conniving at their sin. Caterers that refuse to sell cupcakes for Rainbow Pride Day are harassed and bullied to no end. An employee who tells a co-worker that he cannot join in the celebration of her "marriage" to her girlfriend is called on the carpet by his boss. We saw what happened to Chick-fil-A when one of its leaders refused to bow the knee to PC minders. City officials in Chicago and Boston began rattling the zoning saber. We saw what happened to Doug Wilson on IU's campus.
Examples could be easily multiplied. In light of this obvious state of affairs, what possible usefulness is it to attack Christians who lived four hundred years ago? Aside from cultivating or maintaining academic respectability, I can think of none. Isn't the real problem that we Christians are ashamed of Jesus and His Word? Don't we need to be called to faithfulness in having our speech seasoned with salt, saving some? And don't we need our rulers to be called to protect our--that is, Christians'--freedom of speech, association, and religious exercise, which are so heavily under attack?
Laws criminalizing blasphemy aren't identical logically or legally with outlawing false religions. Abraham Kuyper, who served his country as a Prime Minister, theologian, and newspaperman, supported blasphemy laws even in the 20th century.
There's a distinction between forbidding blasphemy that publicly impugns the Living God and tolerating false religion carried on quietly out of the public eye. If Christians as a rule have been so bigoted and impossible to live with, why have Jews, Turks, Infidels, Atheists, Socinians, Muslims, and others historically flocked to live in Christian lands and particularly in America? They've sought to live in Christian countries because they've found a certain tolerance to live in civil peace even if that tolerance hasn't risen to the level of awarding them full rights to the free exercise of their false religion.
Blasphemy laws don't force people to give obeisance to the Gospel. Blasphemy laws, as they have historically been enforced in this country, have forbidden public profanation of the Living God.
Moore hasn't made the case that blasphemy laws have necessarily borne the fruit of apostasy. Lands that were the first to be Christian were the first to become post-Christian as those lands forgot Almighty God and as they began to serve the creation and love their wealth, which wealth is itself the fruit of Christian spiritual capital. Similarly, it happened during the Middle Ages as monastic orders began as humble reforms of corrupt orders and then in turn because of "spiritual success" became wealthy and then corrupt, which then prompted the establishment of other poor humble orders and so on.
Further, there is a fundamental difference between the Church of England (fully established with Monarch and Head of Church as the same man by virtue of the office of King) and the American church. Established state churches are corrupting of both the church and state. That's one major reason why our forefathers in decades after the American Revolution disestablished churches in American states that had them and stopped forcing nonmembers to pay for them.
What I don't have a right to do, I don't have a right to assist someone else in doing. I don't have a right from God to worship the false god of Allah. Likewise, I don't have the right to assist someone else in securing civil rights to worship Allah. It's never right to sin or to help someone else to sin.
It's appalling that a Christian, let alone a Christian theologian with charge over pastors-in-training, would call other Christians to do this. It's political correctness and religious pluralism run amuck and it denies the holiness of Almighty God.
No influential Reformed Evangelical alive today is agitating for blasphemy laws. It makes you wonder why Moore is leading the charge against non-existent or dead adversaries like Calvin who thought the civil magistrate should have as much concern for the First Table of the Law as the Second.
Other arguments against reinstating Christian blasphemy laws (not to be confused with blasphemy laws that persecute Christians) could be made. For instance, Christian prudence in light of the post-Christian culture we live in might require us to fight other evils now in the city gates and not try to re-establish blasphemy laws that our forefathers were able to enact in their day. Or wisdom might say even if a bare electoral majority could reinstate Christian blasphemy laws, a large plurality of lawbreakers and widespread disregard of the law would lead to more evil than good.
But again who alive and influential today is demanding such a thing? You might as well write a blog post urging Congress not to renounce our national sovereignty and rejoin the British Empire.
In short, Moore's post makes you think that equality among religions is possible, even desirable. I don't think it's possible, and to act as if it is desirable is willful naiveté.
("Ezra Hale" is a pseudonym.)
Of course, due to the evil in men, imposters who seek positions high and might in church and government alike, such laws often extend to the likes of "saying things about my religion I don't like" (whoever wrote them), "offending the practitioners of any religions" (see Ireland), etc.. Apostles didn't rely on the arm of the state--they took their deaths as they came, neither perhaps should we: we are strangers and sojourners here...among wolves; that we have a some ability in a short window to demand, under law, that the rights of men be respected by the powerful is a wondrous God-given gift, though it may now be passing away as the unprincipled and faithless, the latter too often faithless antichrists that might even deceive you guys (I could point out a few examples if I knew you), destroy principle, law, religion, spirituality, morality, sanctity, and everything else essential to the faith, but also to the civil society that traditionally accompanies a society where Christianity at least, if not predominant, exerts a general and effective influence to restrain the evil of men. Just as now the constitutional laws on the books can't be enforced because the high philosophes decide to set them aside and twist them however they fancy, the acknowledge rights of trade, travel, and self-protection are diminished to privileges subject to elimination by statute, (even the Romans didn't destroy the ability of their subjects to resist, fight back, defend themselves against aggressors!--perhaps because they knew those people knew such would be so great a calamitous mistake, outright insanity to allow even their conquerors to utterly disarm them, that it wasn't possible: they just had to remember Carthage, after all)--actually, right to trade is no longer extant, because all business is treated, in substance, as an arm of the state, and dare assert your principles and religion to govern your conduct and association, and they will penalize and criminalize you--no blasphemy law is going to be of much help: not with such a spineless nation conquered by violent sociopathic men who are ill and wicked. Only good men have to fear here, or men who want to be good; note that the average so-called 'Christian', and I mean the bible-thumping right-leaning 'conservative' variety, is typically unafraid because their religion is so shallow as to consist of "getting people their ticket to heaven, reform by associating with people in Church, and kept reformed by continued involvement", and "protecting our access to money."
Thanks for this post, and the link.
I'm guessing that Mr. Moore couldn't stand to finish John Calvin's Sermons on Deuteronomy. Or, maybe Jesus comments on corban in Matthew 15:6ff make him uncomfortable.
As if embarrassment over God's laws, properly understood in their modern day application, is the key to sociopolitical justice and cultural purity. I guess this means the "new" Biblical teaching is that things just turn into their opposites. Lawful cultures come about through antinomianism!
Good point though on prioritizing our cultural reformational goals. God alone is wise, but in my fallible and limited horizon of a view, it seems like we're about a century or so away from a culture that would be god-fearing enough to accept even a godly level of taxation, let alone anti-blasphemy laws. To enact Biblical laws, in essence, you need a culture that is largely already following them voluntarily, from the heart, and then those laws provide a God-ordained hedge around that society to provide justice in the public square and to prevent the production of a criminal culture within the city.
The late Greg Bahnsen made several good points on this latter subject. The idea of taking an unwilling and apostate culture, and enacting godly laws from the top-down, is impractical, despite the need for those laws. No one will apply them, follow them, live by them. We need a bottom-up reformation. I'm praying for it, though I doubt I will live to see it. It seems just too good to believe for my wicked generation, but then again, nothing is too hard for the Lord.
And by extension, Russell has a point to make. Here's why:
* He comes from a theological tradition that still has in its institutional memory the way the early Baptists were persecuted by the descendants of the Puritans. That people who had fled religious persecution in Europe would themselves become persecutors is ironic to say the least (the point is relevant in this context).
* Imposing the Kingdom top-down has a fairly short half-life, as the experiences of Cromwell's Commonwealth; Geneva after Calvin; Scotland; the Netherlands, and South Africa, all illustrate. In Scotland the Kirk ended up inoculating generations of Scots against the Gospel.
So, to come back to Russell's article. Again, his theological background is that you learn from the Old Testament, but live by the New Testament, and this is colouring his take on things as well.
is that Russell should have been focussing his attention on the statism affecting America, rather than things like blasphemy laws? If so, I do now understand your point; but since we are all dealing with current adversaries, I am not sure what Calvin would have to say as to the situation we all face now. Could someone help here?
They've sought to live in Christian countries because they've found a certain tolerance to live in civil peace even if that tolerance hasn't risen to the level of awarding them full rights to the free exercise of their false religion.
Since when did any member of another religion not have full civil rights to freely exercise that religion in this country? Maybe I need to crack open my history books, but has religious persecution ever been a problem in America for anyone? Muslim, Jew, Sikh or atheist?
I mean, obviously there might be personal and social discrimination, but that's fine and that's just part of our freedom to associate, but I mean in a legal sense. Since when has anyone not had the full right to believe and practice as he chooses to believe and practice? And who would advocate for anything less?
Since when did any member of another religion not have full civil rights to freely exercise that religion in this country?
I think someone wishing to practice the religion of the Aztecs, with human sacrifice, would find their ability to fully practice their religion obstructed.
Obviously, I know that's the case. Nor should fundamentalist Muslim honor killings allowed on the books. What I meant was that I find it hard to see what Moore is arguing against. If there were some sort of Christian theocracy executing Hindus and Buddhists and Muslims and atheists I'd see his point. But there isn't and America has never been that. We've always allowed people to freely and openly practice their religion here.
I'm so glad you made that point. Aren't freedom of religion, speech, and association part of the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution, which applies to all Americans of all religions and those of no religion? Obviously, you've already addressed the actions of religions that allow honor killings, human sacrifices, and the like.
Russell Moore is fighting an imaginary enemy, for the sake of appearing Politically Correct.
Dr. Moore is a Baptist, and doesn't understand the comprehensively covenantal nature of life. The final question is, "By what standard?". How does a professing Christian claiming to believe God's word argue for another standard of goodness than God's law? What law is offered in its place? As Rushdoony would say - the source of law of any society is its god. A man-centered ethic reveals our actual deity - sovereign man.

A right-wing state and corporate push to cut off water is economic shock therapy at its most ruthless and racist, but resistance is growing. Since spring, up to 3000 Detroit households per week have been getting their water shut-off – for owing as little as $150 or two months in bills. The official rationale for the water shut-downs – the Detroit Water Department's need to recoup millions – collapses on inspection. Detroit's high-end golf club, the Red Wing's hockey arena, the Ford football stadium, and more than half of the city's commercial and industrial users are also owing – a sum totalling $30 million. But no contractors have showed up on their doorstep.
Worker-owned co-ops got a boost on Monday when Independent Senator Bernie Sanders unveiled an initiative in Vermont that champions what many call "the new economy.""At a time when corporate America is outsourcing millions of decent-paying jobs overseas and with the economy continuing to struggle to create jobs that pay a livable wage, we need to expand economic models that help the middle-class," Sanders said during a press conference in Burlington. "I strongly believe that employee ownership is one of those models.
"Labor priests" were a recognized presence in the labor movement of the 1920s through the 1960s. Father Barry, the Karl Malden character in the 1954 film "On the Waterfront," was the model of the priest who sided with workers.
Priests conducted Parish Labor Schools where workers interested in collective bargaining studied Catholic social justice doctrine, labor law, and parliamentary procedure.
Fast food workers across America aren't waiting on Congress to raise their pay. This week, they're taking matters into their own hands by organizing a nationwide strike aimed at securing better pay for their families and basic rights in the workplace.
In my journey as a community activist and Chicano advocate, I've experienced many fascinating elements that have inspired me but also scarred me to my very soul. I have fought the Chicano politician who capitulated in the selling out of his community, broke bread with the "Old Man" whom lent the little he had but gave unselfishly of his wisdom, and have shared space with our sons who have fallen victim to a privatized prison system. I have fought the white dragon of racism and today… today will begin the telling of those many travels.
Northampton, Massachusetts—When Bernie Sanders said in a Nation interview in March that he was prepared—not at all certain, but prepared—to run for the presidency, that got a lot of political activists thinking.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders does not believe his support for the working class makes him unusual. Though he finds that many people who call themselves progressives believe they are in the minority, he does not believe this about himself, he said. "Every idea I ever espoused, I believe, is what the vast majority of our country believe," Sanders told a crowd of around 400 people who filled the sanctuary at First Churches Friday for "A Conversation with Senator Bernie Sanders," an event sponsored by The Nation magazine, Progressive Democrats of America, and radio station WHMP.
WASHINGTON – First, he traveled to New Hampshire. Now he's bound for Iowa.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is hitting all the familiar campaign stops as he considers whether to run for president in 2016.
DES MOINES — Jeff Cox isn't sure what it means that Sen. Bernie Sanders will be visiting Iowa later this month, "but I do know it's a long way from Vermont."
"I was a bit surprised that he was on the program," Cox said about Sanders' planned appearance at the May 17 Clinton County Democratic Hall of Fame dinner.
More than one in five American kids lived in a "food insecure" household in 2012, according to the newest annual Mapping the Meal Gap report from anti-hunger charity Feeding America.
The food insecurity rate for children nationwide is 21.6 percent. That number rises to almost three in ten kids for a long list of states including New Mexico (29.2 percent), Mississippi (28.7 percent), Arizona (28.2 percent), Nevada (28.1 percent), Georgia (28.1 percent), Arkansas (27.7 percent), Florida (27.6 percent), and Texas (27.4 percent).

Public Works recognized for bicycle and sidewalk improvements
To conclude Bike Week, BikeWalk KC, the region's bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization, recognized the City of Kansas City, Mo.'s Public Works Department for leadership in providing striped lanes and "sharrows" for bicyclists on roadway projects as well as sidewalk improvements for pedestrians.
Significant accomplishments have been made in the last five years. The City now has 29 lane miles of bike lanes, nine lane miles of sharrows and 63 miles of trails. A total of 287 water inlets, sewer grates and utility covers were replaced with bicycle-safe versions along a 355-lane-mile route where "bike route" and "share the road" signs were installed. Combined, these changes form the beginning of a 600-mile bikeway system. In addition, the Public Works Department recently produced and distributed 20,000 Bike KC maps, which highlight all bike and trail facilities completed to date.

FEMA has distributed about $950,000 to Westchester County residents displaced during the month since Superstorm Sandy, Steven Ward, FEMA Branch III director, announced this week.
That money has been used to pay rent, make repairs and help with other needs following the storm, Ward said. In total, almost $750 million has been distributed throughout New York State to date.
There are also more funds available to those that qualify. The deadline to register damages with FEMA has been extended until Dec. 31, 2012, Ward said. After the deadline residents have a full year to send insurance and other information necessary to complete a claim.
In addition to the money distributed directly by FEMA, Ward said 329 residents have received assistance from the National Flood Insurance Program, which is government insurance that was offered through FEMA to people affected by Tropical Storms Irene and Lee.
Ward also announced that FEMA will be starting a local hiring program, which will replace 25 percent of FEMA employees with local hires over the next six months. Anyone interested in applying should visit the New York State job bank website and search for FEMA.
The Westchester County Center remains open every day for people who have questions about filing a claim. The center is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The FEMA helpline is also available for questions at 1-800-621-FEMA.

Metro Detroit home sales were down slightly in September for the first time in a year, but prices continue to climb, according to figures released Monday by Farmington Hills-based Realcomp.
The good news is the median sale price of a home or condo in Metro Detroit was up in September from the same month last year by 17.3 percent. Oakland County led the way with a 28.7 percent increase, followed by Wayne County with a 14.9 percent increase and Macomb and Livingston with increases of 11.1 and 10 percent, respectively.
Realcomp defines Metro Detroit as Oakland, Wayne, Livingston and Macomb counties.
[ View recent home sales in Ferndale here.]
Oakland County Realtor Dana Cooper of Max Broock told Patch it has become a seller's market.
"There have been way more buyers in the marketplace because the interest rates are so low," she said, adding that inventory is limited. Many sellers who bought at the height of the market are squeamish about listing their homes because they fear they won't get what they owe, Cooper explained.
She said that based on Max Broock data from the past month, for homes that are priced correctly and in good condition, 30 percent of sales are for more than list price and 55 percent are within 94 percent of list price.
Realcomp: September Oakland County Real Estate By The Numbers
- Listings: In 2012, there were 6,005 residential and condos listed for sale, compared to 7,743 in 2011, which resulted in a 22.4 percent decrease in properties on the market.
- The number of foreclosure sales dropped significantly, 20 percent, with 376 in 2012 and 470 in 2011.
- The number of non-foreclosure sales increased slightly, about 0.6 percent, from 1,110 in 2011 to 1,117 in 2012.
- There was a 5.5 percent decrease in homes sold. In September 2012, 1,493 homes sold, compared to 1,580 in 2011.
- The median sale price for foreclosures has increased by 25.5 percent, going from $55,000 in 2011 to $69,000 in 2012.
- The median nonforeclosure home was sold for $175,000 in 2012 compared to $147,500 in 2011, an 18.6 percent increase.
- The median prices of all sales was $148,000 in 2012 versus $115,000, a 28.7 percent increase.
- 82 is the average amount of days a home that was sold in September 2012 spent on the market.

First, there was the embarkation. Long lines which reminded me of the Atlanta airport security check. But, the folks were very friendly, and of course we chatted with the others waiting in line. We had previously sailed on the MSC and Costa lines in Europe. This was our second Carnival (US) cruise following last years cruise on the Carnival Ecstasy to the Bahamas. There were 3K+ guests on this cruise. I have to say that the crew were excellent, and very friendly, courteous, etc.. Only real complaint is that the entertainment MC's thought everyone was hard of hearing. Not only was the volume of the speakers at max ... they had to yell every word. We had to leave Henri's (?) disco because of that. And I might add that it was the only disco on the ship. No other dance place anywhere on board other then the open Lido deck (pool area). The Ecstasy had several.
Cabin was far more than we expected. Lots of room, and had a 4 x 4 port window. Cabin crew was very nice and took great care of us. Room was always cleaned promptly and supplies replenished as needed. Very happy with this stateroom.
Food was very good, but not as good as the Ecstasy. Dining room food was also very good. The seas were fairly rough 75% of the time, and this took some of the pleasure out. Of course we do not blame Carnival at all. The bridge crew did a great job of controlling the pitch and roll.
I don't think any cruise line will ever get the embark/debark process under control. Just too many folks to load in a few hour span. Kudos to the luggage handling crew. Our dining crew was super. Many laughs and excellent service. Looking forward to the next cruise. Carnival is a good line to cruise on. Not to cheap ... not to expensive. All in all, a great value.

You have to feel bad for Dan Kennedy. For 90 minutes he made fantastic save after fantastic save and late on, it looked like Chivas USA might actually be a professional team when they started putting a couple chances together. In the end, though, the Houston Dynamo did what they do best and scored in extra time to push them past the Goats, 1-0, in the opening match of the season for both teams.
While Kennedy may have looked fantastic, both the Dynamo and Goats both looked like they were still in the preseason. Houston was able to piece together a bit more, though, and they forced Kennedy into several fine save. The Chivas goalkeeper denied Adam Moffat from distance, then made a good save on Will Bruin's follow up. Those were just two of several saves Kennedy made that looked like they would earn the Goats a point, but it was not to be.
The Dynamo led MLS in goals in the last 15 minutes a year ago and showed why at the death on Sunday. Brad Davis cut in from the left and actually shot with his right foot and while it didn't make it to goal, the ball bounced right to Andre Hainault. From there, all the defender has to do was turn and he had himself a golden scoring opportunity, which he did not waste by drilling the ball past a helpless Kennedy for the win.
For more on the Dynamo, check out Dynamo Theory and for more on Chivas USA, read up on The Goat Parade.

- Gold and silver medals are 92.5% silver.
- Gold medals must be plated with at least 6 grams of gold.
- All Olympic medals must be at least 3 mm thick and at least 60 mm in diameter.
Although the Olympic gold medal is more silver than gold, there are gold medals that are really gold, such as the Congressional Gold Medal and Nobel Prize Medal. Before 1980 the Nobel Prize medal was made from 23 carat gold. Newer Nobel Prize medals are 18 carat green gold plated with 24 carat gold.

LOL, Someone needs to tell that brat Maroney who "won" silver for screwing up her 1st vault and falling flat on her arse for the 2nd one. She seems to think that the silver medals cost more to make than the gold ones (see her tweet). That means the jeweler would have to have paid the recipient for the privelege of coating the common or garden 92.5% silver medal with 6grams of gold?!? What kind of sense does that make?
I guess this McKayla Maroney is just a common or garden materialistic american teenager. Who, in the opinions of millions of other fair play types, in no way deserved a place in the top 7 never mind a place on the podium for gymnastic vault at 2012 olympics. But then again, fair play has never reared its "ugly head" at any Olympics since they left Greece.
Look at Ogogo's 1st fight…he went into the 3rd round 1 point ahead (undeservedly so) where he got the crap leathered out of him, yet the judges deemed it a draw, then took it to countbacks to obfuscate the matter. To borrow a phrase, It's a mad mad world we live in.

These girls and I stress girls are just that: girls. They're teens and they don't know anything as they haven't lived out in the real world yet.
As to whom deserves what, that's all up to the judges. If you have a problem with Maroney winning a Silver, take it up with the governing body who awarded it to her.

She was actually quoting somebody in that tweet and saying thanks for the info, but good job being a ****bag.
- August 10, 2012 at 11:35 am(7) daniel says:
Joseph, you're an idiot who obviously has trouble reading. McKayla didn't tweet that. It was a retweet from a fan of hers that was obviously trying to make her feel better about winning silver in a competition the whole world was expecting her to win gold in.
Please just shut up in the future on topics you're clueless on.
- August 12, 2012 at 8:18 am(8) Chris says:
What a travesty, all that work to win a gold thats actually silver. To bad. Shame on the IOC.
- August 12, 2012 at 3:41 pm(9) Keith says:
Why don'teople just stop disrespecting any of the athletes, all I have to say is if you could do better do so but until you put in four plus years of training time effor sweat to achieve a goal that is internationally recognised the shut up and give them their dues, as far as I am concerned even the athletes who never got medal have achieved something special by just stepping up and pushing through any one who disagreed he all I have to say to you is PUT UP OR SHUT UP A**ess

WHAT!!! not gold?
- August 23, 2012 at 12:14 am(12) Beck says:
Lucy, I'm not positive, but they are more than likely taxed on the $25,000 prize they are awarded for first place by the IOC, not the medal itself.
- February 10, 2014 at 6:36 am(13) Jimmy 'The Shoe' Hawthorne says:
Gold medals not made from gold? It's political correctness gone mad! What's next? Chips made of cardboard? Beer made from apple juice? This would have never happened in my day! Someone ought to write to Mr Olympic about all this – set the man straight! This '92.5% silver' malarky only cheapens the whole ordeal! This is one corner cut too far I'm afraid.
What if Olympians want to redeem their medals at Cash4Gold? Or if they need to create a Catalytic convertor at short notice?
I say we postpone these Olympics until the people in charge get their game together.

Teaching is a rewarding career for individuals who enjoy working with children or teens. It provides the satisfaction of knowing that you can really make a difference, not only in the education of young people, but also in their motivation and readiness for the challenges ahead of them. Teachers can have a huge impact on the success of students and can change lives for the better.
A career in teaching may mean that you work in classrooms, but it can also lead to opportunities to be an academic coach and mentor to other teachers, or eventually a principal. Starting salaries with a master's degree are generally over $40,000 and rise steadily each year with experience and responsibility.
Being a teacher will keep you engaged with your colleagues and involved in the lives of your students. Once you are established in a school system the rewards are endless and the opportunities many.
As a teacher you have responsibility for minors and must show that you are a person who has the attributes and behaviors expected of professionals. All candidates for teacher licensure will be required to meet regulations for working in schools, which include, but are not limited to completion of a CORI and a UML code of conduct check.
Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Policy
Please note that Massachusetts General Law (M.G.L. c. 71, § 38R) requires that school districts conduct background checks through a Criminal Offender Record Investigation (CORI) for school personnel, including volunteers and student teachers, who may have direct and unsupervised contact with children. Certain convictions may prevent an individual from completing a teaching practicum in a Massachusetts school district. Further, it should be noted that the Massachusetts Department of Education may conduct CORI checks "as part of the general screening process for educator licensure." CORI Policy
The University of Massachusetts Lowell's Policy
Prior to working with children as part of your coursework, the school district and/or the university will require you to submit paperwork for a CORI check and a UMass Lowell Code of Conduct report. School districts may refuse to allow a student to complete field and clinical experiences if certain offences are revealed. These circumstances may result in the student being unable to complete a teacher preparation degree program at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

Laurel Nicholson at age 16 sits in the family's tree house planning on a night with friends as only a teenager can, when she sees a stranger coming up the road to their house. When this man confronts her mother, Laurel is totally thrown for a loop by what happens next. Her spirited, loving mother, whom the kids think of as nearly perfect, kills him, stabbing him with the knife she had come to retrieve from the house to cut the birthday cake of her youngest child.
Fast forward to the present and Laurel and her three sisters are going to the family farm to celebrate their mother's 90th birthday, and to begin to say their good-byes as her health is failing fast. While visiting and going through old family photo albums they come across a picture of their mother as a young woman of 19 taken in May of 1941 with another woman, whom they assume is a friend of their mother's. Laurel realizes that if she is ever going to get answers to the mystery of the woman in the picture and what happened when she was 16 her time is short to do so.
As children grown or not it is hard to imagine that our parents had lives before us. To get a chance to explore and find out the secrets that are kept is something I think a lot of people would like to have, a chance to look back at what was helping to make a person who they are when you know them.
Dorothy Nicholson, Laurel's mother, is a woman of secrets, secrets that shaped her actions and attitudes as a mother. When the story slides back in time to World War II, we meet a young Dorothy, who goes by Dolly, a fun-loving, complex, imaginative person, that makes some questionable choices, as any 19 year old could. We meet her boyfriend Jimmy, who when he is first introduced you really don't know how to take him, but in the end he seems to be the most balanced person going through those years. We also meet Vivien, the woman in the picture with Dorothy that helps start Laurel's quest for answers, and her husband, Henry Jenkins.
The narrative of the time in 1941 brings to life scenes of bombed out streets and homes, fires burning, rationing and soldiers. It is made clear that during times like that people sometimes did things they might not otherwise do, as people were more aware of their own mortality.
Dorothy's story could be that of other women: making choices that may seem right at the time, but suddenly changing, maturing or growing up and turning into someone almost unrecognizable.
This is a book that shouldn't be rushed. Savor the mastery of the use of words to describe and pull you into the story... one that you must discover for yourself.

Benjamin Dueholm on Government, Taxation, Wealth and Truly Helping the Poor
...it is tempting for progressives to dismiss complaints about redistribution of wealth as ignorant or hypocritical, as in many cases they probably are. Yet all naïveté about public budgets aside, a strong presumption in favor of being able to keep the money you earn is a valuable and powerful thing. Progressives who embrace the concept of wealth redistribution on egalitarian grounds, or who join the refrain of "tax the rich" as the main solution to our fiscal and economic problems, tend to miss the many ways in which economic unfairness can remain untouched or even affirmed by redistributive policies....
It's important to focus rhetoric and activism on making the rich "pay their fair share"—especially during this austerity season, in which the practical alternative is watching services for the poor dramatically cut....
This can't, however, be the final analysis of redistributive policies. Throughout the Old Testament, inequality itself is hardly the only issue. There is also the question of fair access to the means of making a living—which, in the Old Testament world, means fair access to land ownership.
Read it all.

By Allie Herriot, Tucson News Now intern
TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - A Hispanic nonprofit will honor Guadalupe Castillo and Richard Elias for empowering communities in Southern Arizona on June 6th.
Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc., the third-largest nonprofit in the country, will recognize a professor & human rights activist and a public servant who realize the value of a "Community Empowered."
This is the 33rd Annual Southern Arizona Dinner and Awards Ceremony at the Desert Diamond Entertainment Center in Sahuarita. The theme this year, "Community Empowered," was chosen to celebrate individuals who ensure others have equal opportunities, a foundation for higher education, affordable housing, and basic services for people and famiilies to live quality, healthy lives.
"CPLC's guiding philosophy is that by creating economic opportunities, we empower individuals, families and communities to be self-sufficient for generations to come," Southeast Area Manger and Vice President of School Readiness, Magdalena Verdugo said in a press release.
"We are especially proud to honor Guadelupe and Elias, who for so many years, continue to positively shape lives by recognizing the value behind a Community Empowered."
Castillo advocated that her students view education as a tool for positive change. She has been an advocate of social issues in the community for over 40 years.
Long before Elias became a public servant, he was a strong supporter of efforts to make sure low-income families had equal access to services like affordable housing.
The Annual Celebration is the largest fundraising event in Southern Arizona, bringing together community leaders, in the public and private sectors, and in the business community. For more information visit firstname.lastname@example.com.

SURF CITY, NC (WECT) - Making a connection across the country is exactly what the goal of the glorified scavenger hunt "geocaching" is all about.
Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which players of the game rely on a GPS or another device to find coordinates in the woods posted on a geocaching website. Once participants arrive at the correct coordinates, they exchange objects usually inside of some kind of container that other players have left inside for the next group to use.
Some in Pender County said the hobby changed their lives.
For Shana Westfall and Michael Cremer, it all started with a website, an online dating site to be specific. However, they said more importantly, it was a geocaching website that brought them together.
"It's about the thrill of the hunt more or less than anything," said Westfall.
For three years, Westfall and Cremer have spent most of their weekends going on a geocaching mission.
To join in, one must simply go to the main site, type in his or her zip code and look for a new geocaching location that has been posted. Finally, they enter given coordinates into a handheld GPS.
Recently for the couple, the passion for the sport actually transformed into something a bit more personal: the couple had a geocache proposal.
"When I turned around he was down on one knee behind me with the ring," said Westfall. "You know, typical girl, I cried."
The couple says the big day is going to be tried and true to their love for the sport.
"So that's why we want to make our wedding a geocaching event, so we can share it with all the people we've met through geocaching," said Westfall.
Westfall and Cremer said some of their geocache treasures they've left for people to find have made it as far as California.

The Minneapolis City Council finally completed the contentious process for a new Vikings Stadium on Friday, approving the plan for a new stadium at the current Metrodome site. The stadium will cost $975 million to build, with the city of Minneapolis chipping in $150 million and the state adding another $348 million via taxes on electronic charitable gambling games. The club will contribute $477 million towards construction costs as well.
Once completed, however, the team could rake in as much as $15 million per year in corporate naming rights, according to Charley Waiters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The new stadium is scheduled to open by 2016, with owner Zygi Wilf holding a 30-year lease. As Waiters points out, that would add up to $400 million in naming rights over the life of the lease.

When the tornado hit Moore Medical Center, 5 year old Jayde Scholl should have been there having her surgery, her mother had rescheduled.
Jayde arrived in the U.S. from China in December, with no hearing at all. One cochlear implant was done in February and the other was scheduled the day of the Moore tornado, at Moore Medical Center.
Her mother says she felt like they missed the plane that crashed, by missing the tornado. However, Jayde's $25,000 device was lost in the debris. Workers dug through the damage and found the device. Jayde had her surgery 4 days after the tornado.
Little Jayde is making a lot of progress since we saw her last a few weeks go, she now has a cochlear implant in both sides. And she's made 11 months progress in just 3 months, even though a tornado tried to get in her way. Her hearing and speech are like an infants, but she continues to improve.
"Losing that (device) would have been awful. I'm a firm believer that things happen the way they are supposed to. Jayde was supposed to have it," said her mother, Dr. Jacque Scholl, who is an audiologist.
Jayde will have hearing in both ears, once the second implant is activated in about two weeks. But she will have several years of therapy

Scattering of Light by Light
Sven Rinke
In 1936, well before the invention of quantum electrodynamics (QED), Heisenberg and his student Euler wrote an effective classical Lagrangian for light-light interaction (non-linear optics!) based on quantum mechanical modifications of E&M and Dirac's wave equation. In my talk, I will explain how the non-linearity of low-energy light-light interactions can be seen from QED. Important concepts like renormalization will be discussed, and I will end with recent proposals for experiments that measure this (very small) effect.

The New York Philharmonic
Bernard Labadie is a noted specialist in Baroque and Classical repertoire, a reputation closely tied to his work with Les Violons du Roy and La Chapelle de Québec, both of which he founded and continues to lead as music director. With these two ensembles he regularly tours Canada, the United States, and Europe, having made appearances at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Kennedy Center, London's Barbican, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, and the Salzburg Festival. Highlights of Mr. Labadie's 2013–14 season include re-engagements with the New York and Malaysian Philharmonic orchestras; Kansas City, St. Louis, New World, Chicago, Melbourne, Swedish Radio, and Bavarian Radio symphony orchestras; and the Auckland Philharmonia, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne, NDR Symphony Orchestra, and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, as well as a European tour with Les Violons du Roy. He made his Minnesota Orchestra debut in 1999, and regularly appears with North American orchestras including the Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Colorado, Detroit, Houston, Montreal, St. Louis, San Francisco, Toronto, Utah, and Vancouver symphony orchestras; Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras; Handel & Haydn Society; and Los Angeles and New York Philharmonic orchestras. Internationally Mr. Labadie has conducted the Academy of Ancient Music, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, BBC Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, Hamburger Symphony, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra of the Collegium Vocale Ghent, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Royal Northern Sinfonia, Swedish Chamber Orchestra, WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne, and Zurich Chamber Orchestra. Mr. Labadie has served as artistic director of L'Opéra de Québec and L'Opéra de Montréal. He made his Metropolitan Opera debut during the 2009–10 season with Mozart's The Magic Flute, which he also led at the Cincinnati Opera in 2011. He has also conducted Handel's Orlando with Glimmerglass Opera, Mozart's Così fan tutte at the Mostly Mozart Festival, and Mozart's Lucio Silla with Santa Fe Opera. Mr. Labadie's extensive discography includes recordings on the Dorian, ATMA, and Virgin Classics labels, including Handel's Apollo e Dafne and a collaborative recording of Mozart's Requiem with Les Violons du Roy and La Chapelle de Québec (both of which received Canada's Juno Award). The Canadian government has honored him as Officer of the Order of Canada, and his home province named him Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Québec. Bernard Labadie made his Philharmonic debut in December 2006 leading works by J.S. Bach, Corelli, and Handel. He last appeared with the Philharmonic in March 2013 during The Bach Variations: A Philharmonic Festival, when he led Bach's Orchestral Suites Nos. 3 and 4 and Bach's Violin Concertos in E major and A minor, with Isabelle Faust as soloist.
Having founded a string quartet at the age of 11, violinist Isabelle Faust's early chamber music experiences imbued in her a fundamental belief that performing is a process of give and take, in which listening is just as important as expressing one's own personality.
Her victory at the 1987 Leopold Mozart Competition at age 15 brought the prospect of a solo career. However, the guiding principles instilled in her as a chamber musician remained strong and Ms. Faust constantly sought dialogue and the exchange of musical ideas. After winning the 1993 Paganini Competition, she moved to France, where she came to international attention with her first recording of sonatas by Bartók, Szymanowski, and Janáček.
In 2003 Ms. Faust released a recording of the Dvořák Violin Concerto. Her 2007 release of the Beethoven violin concerto also reflects her immersion in period performance practice. The list of composers whose works she has premiered extends from Olivier Messiaen to Werner Egk and Jörg Widmann. She is a fervent proponent of music by György Ligeti, Morton Feldman, Luigi Nono, and Giacinto Scelsi, as well as of forgotten works, such as André Jolivet's violin concerto. In 2009 she premiered works dedicated to her by composers Thomas Larcher and Michael Jarrell.
Isabelle Faust can be heard with pianist Alexander Melnikov in recordings for Harmonia Mundi. Their recording of Beethoven sonatas received the ECHO Klassik Award, a Gramophone Award, and a Grammy nomination. Her solo recording of Bach partitas and sonatas received the 2010 Diapason d'or de l'année.
Ms. Faust has appeared with orchestras and conductors including Claudio Abbado, Charles Dutoit, Daniel Harding, Heinz Holliger, Mariss Jansons, Berlin Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Boston Symphony Orchestra, BBC Orchestra, and Mahler Chamber Orchestra. She performs on the 1704 "Sleeping Beauty" Stradivarius, on loan from Germany's L-Bank Baden-Württemberg.

Caerphilly Council's Chief Executive 'suspended' following pay rise criticism
The Chief Executive of Caerphilly council has been suspended following a report by the Wales Audit Office (WAO) that found his £27,000 pay rise was unlawful.
The WAO said they had discovered a number of issues with how the decision was carried out.
– Caerphilly county borough council statement
In the circumstances the Chief Executive has recognised the difficulty that this creates in terms of him fulfilling his responsibilities as Head of Paid Service, and that his continued attendance at work during this period would not be appropriate. He has agreed, following discussions with the Leader, to be suspended from his duties pending the outcome of these investigations.
On Wednesday, Gwent Police referred the matter to Avon & Somerset Police to complete an investigation.

|Home >> Ask Olympus: Lens not showing F-Stop
When I connect the lens to the camera the F-stop number does not appear. Do you know why?
Answer: If you mount the lens while inadvertently pressing the lens release button, it is possible to rotate the lens past the locking position. The result is that the electrical contacts on the lens are misaligned. To prevent this, make sure you're not pressing the lens release button when mounting a lens. When you hear the lens click into place, it's properly mounted.

"He who fears death cannot enjoy life," is the basic philosophy of psychedelic, death-embracing trance rock band Dead Skeletons.
Their music is like straying into a maelstrom of roaring, echoing guitars, staring skeleton heads, Buddhist trance and cosmic rock'n'roll. Like Suicide, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Velvet Underground would sound in front of the gates of Hades, in a desperate attempt to keep the Grim Reaper at bay with a sonic attack.
Dead Skeletons are morbid celebration music for music lovers who prefer black sound waves.

As he took the oath of office last Wednesday, the Parrish High School and University of North Alabama alumnus not only broke his own personal milestone — but two other historical precedents as well.
At 39, Ramsey is not only Parrish's youngest mayor to date, he's also the first African-American to hold the office in the town's history. Although Ramsey acknowledges the groundbreaking moment that took place as he was sworn-in, he wants to be known as more than just a historical footnote.
"It's my intent to be a great mayor for the town of Parrish. I'm not a politician as most people would characterize a person in my position — I consider myself as a servant to the community," Ramsey said. "I want everyone to be treated the same, whereas in the past I don't believe all of the members of our community was treated equally. No matter what a person's background, economic, social status or ethnic makeup is, I want our citizens to all receive the same level of respect and to be proud to be a member of the Parrish community."
Since taking the District 5 council seat in 2004, Ramsey has helped coordinate a large number of progressive movements in Parrish that have brought improvements to the town's infrastructure, economic prospects, appearance and community athletic facilities. His goals for continued improvement include more social programs for senior citizens, the completion of the town's library and learning center and providing further financial stability for the community.
"I would like to see our senior center improved so its use will benefit the entire community and get our town's debts paid off," Ramsey said. "One key goal of mine is for our community to get cleaned up. Our town has a great group of police officers who are trained in policies and procedures to make people clean up their yards on a fair basis — my aim is to get our police department involved in these matters. Obviously, we don't want to put people in a crunch — economically, many people are still hurting, but we can give those individuals the time to do so. We want our town to look better — if people come to Parrish and see all of the abandoned buildings and messy lots, no one will want to be a part of it. However, if those people see a town with clean-cut yards and well-kept streets, they'll be more inclined to stay and live here."
Other projects Ramsey intends to undertake during his administration is the completion of Parrish Municipal Park, repairing Main Street, legalizing the sale of alcohol and planning a community festival and garden.
A firm proponent of youth athletics and Parrish's schools, Ramsey also said he will work hard to make sure the high school stays open and that the community's athletics continue to flourish.
"Our schools are the backbone of our community — our academics are improving and with our library nearing completion, the young people of Parrish will only strengthen their ability to unlock their future," he said. "I'm also going to concentrate on making the quality of our recreational sports better. As a football, basketball and baseball coach in our park and recreation department, I know the value of what athletics can bring to our young people. They learn the basics of teamwork, how to take direction and the pride of fulfilling the personal achievements — that's why it's imperative we offer them the best recreational sports we can."

Kids:Toys and Games:All Toys:Gyrobot - Gyroscopic Robot Kit
Named one of Dr. Toy's 10 Best Toys of 2013
Gyroscopes are used in countless devices, from smartphones, tablets, and video game controllers to airplanes and space telescopes. With this kit, young engineers can explore the astonishing powers of the gyroscope by building seven motorized models, including a robot that can balance on two linear wheels and move along a tightrope!
The models include the gyroscopic robot, a balancing personal vehicle, a gyro horizon (or artificial horizon), a gyrocompass, a balancing game, a tightrope walker, and a flight simulator. At the core of these models is a unique motor-driven gyroscopea rapidly spinning wheel mounted in such a way that its axle can move in any direction. Because of the laws of physics, the gyroscope reacts to external forces differently than a non-spinning wheel would: it resists forces in certain directions. This behavior allows it to be used for all sorts of applications related to balance, rotation, and orientation.
A full-color, 24-page, illustrated experiment manual provides step-by-step assembly instructions and scientific explanations.
