Joseph Joachim
Joseph Joachim (28 June 1831 – 15 August 1907) was a Hungarian violinist, conductor, composer and teacher. A close collaborator of Johannes Brahms, he is widely regarded as one of the most significant violinists of the 19th century.

Joseph Joachim was born in Kittsee (Kopčany/Köpcsény), near Bratislava and Eisenstadt, in what is today's Burgenland area of Austria. He was the seventh of eight children born to Julius, a wool merchant, and Fanny Joachim, who were of Hungarian Jewish origin. His infancy was spent as a member of the Kittsee Kehilla (Jewish community), one of Hungary's prominent Siebengemeinden ('Seven Communities') under the protectorate of the Esterházy family. He was a first cousin of Fanny Wittgenstein, the mother of Karl Wittgenstein and the grandmother of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and the pianist Paul Wittgenstein.[1]
Early career[edit]
In 1833 his family moved to Pest, where he studied violin with Stanisław Serwaczyński, the concertmaster of the opera in Pest. (Serwaczyński later moved back to Lublin, Poland, where he taught Wieniawski). In 1839, Joachim continued his studies at the Vienna Conservatory (briefly with Miska Hauser and Georg Hellmesberger, Sr.; finally – and most significantly – with Joseph Böhm). He was taken by his cousin, Fanny Wittgenstein to live and study in Leipzig, where he became a protégé of Felix Mendelssohn. In his début performance in the Leipzig Gewandhaus he played the Otello Fantasy by Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst. The twelve-year-old Joachim's 1844 performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto in London (under Mendelssohn's baton) was a triumph, and helped to establish that work in the repertory. Joachim remained a favorite with the English public for the rest of his career.
Following Mendelssohn's death in 1847, Joachim stayed briefly in Leipzig, teaching at the Conservatorium and playing on the first desk of the Gewandhaus Orchestra with Ferdinand David. In 1848, Franz Liszt took up residence in Weimar, determined to re-establish the town's reputation as the Athens of Germany. There, he gathered a circle of young avant-garde disciples, vocally opposed to the conservatism of the Leipzig circle. Joachim was amongst the first of these. He served Liszt as concertmaster, and for several years enthusiastically embraced the new "psychological music," as he called it. In 1852 he moved to Hanover, at the same time dissociating himself from the musical ideals of the 'New German School' (Liszt, Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, and their followers, as defined by journalist Franz Brendel). In 1853, he met the then publicly unknown 20-year-old Brahms, was highly impressed by him, and gave him a letter of recommendation to Robert Schumann. Brahms was received by Schumann and his wife Clara with great enthusiasm. After Robert's mental breakdown in 1854 and death in 1856, Joachim, Clara, and Brahms remained lifelong friends and shared musical views. Joachim's break with Liszt became final in August 1857, when he wrote to his former mentor: "I am completely out of sympathy with your music; it contradicts everything which from early youth I have taken as mental nourishment from the spirit of our great masters."
Joachim's time in Hanover was his most prolific period of composition. During this time, he frequently performed with Clara Schumann.[2] Joachim had extensive correspondence with both Clara and Brahms, as Brahms especially valued Joachim's opinion of his new compositions. In 1860 Brahms and Joachim jointly wrote a manifesto against the "progressive" music of the 'New German' School, in reaction to the polemics of Brendel's Neue Zeitschrift für Musik. This manifesto had few co-signers and met with a mixed reception, being heavily derided by followers of Wagner[3]
On 10 May 1863 Joachim married the contralto Amalie Schneeweiss (stage name: Amalie Weiss) (1839–99). Amalie gave up her own promising career as an opera singer and gave birth to six children. She continued to perform in oratorios and to give lieder recitals. In 1865 Joachim quit the service of the King of Hanover in protest, when the Intendant of the Opera refused to advance one of the orchestral players (Jakob Grün) because of the latter's Jewish birth.[4] In 1866, Joachim moved to Berlin, where he was invited to help found a new department of the Royal Academy of Music. There he became the director of the Hochschule für ausübende Tonkunst, or High School for Musical Performance.
On Good Friday, 10 April 1868, Joachim and his wife joined their friend, Johannes Brahms, in the celebration of one of Brahms' greatest triumphs, the first complete performance of his German Requiem at the Bremen Cathedral. Amalie Joachim sang "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth" and Joseph Joachim played Schumann's Abendlied. It was a glorious occasion, after which about 100 of the composer's friends, the Joachims, Clara Schumann, the Dietrichs, Max Bruch and others gathered at the Bremen Rathskeller.
In 1869, the Joachim String Quartet, was formed, which quickly gained a reputation as Europe's finest. Other members of the Quartet were Karel Halíř (2nd violin), Emanuel Wirth (viola) and Robert Hausmann (cello).
In 1884, Joachim and his wife separated after he became convinced that she was having an affair with the publisher Fritz Simrock. Brahms, certain that Joachim's suspicions were groundless, wrote a sympathetic letter to Amalie, which she later produced as evidence in Joachim's divorce proceeding against her. This led to a cooling of Brahms and Joachim's friendship, which was not restored until some years later, when Brahms composed the Double Concerto in A minor for violin and cello, Op. 102, as a peace offering to his old friend. It was co-dedicated to the first performers, Joachim and Robert Hausmann.
On 16 April 1889, in England, Joseph Joachim was presented a Stradivarius violin and Tourte bow once owned by Raphael Georg Kiesewetter. In late 1895 both Brahms and Joachim were present at the opening of the new Tonhalle at Zurich, Switzerland; Brahms conducted and Joachim was assistant conductor. But in April, two years later, Joachim was to lose forever this revered friend, as Johannes Brahms died at the age of 64 at Vienna. At Meiningen, in December 1899, it was Joachim who made the speech when a statue to Brahms was unveiled.
During 1899, Joachim was invited to become president of the newly established Oxford & Cambridge Musical Club in London. He remained club president until his death.[5]
In Berlin, on 17 August 1903, Joachim recorded five sides for The Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd (G&T), which remain a fascinating and valuable source of information about 19th-century styles of violin playing. He is the earliest violinist of distinction known to have recorded,[citation needed] only to be followed soon thereafter when Sarasate made some recordings the following year.
Joachim's portrait was twice painted by Philip de László. A portrait of Joachim was painted by John Singer Sargent[6] and presented to him at the 1904 "Diamond Jubilee" celebration of his sixtieth anniversary of his first appearance in London. In Berlin, a great concert took place, at which his pupils past and present, 116 violinists and violists, with 24 cellists who attended his classes played under the direction of Fritz Steinbach, a conductor of note, for his interpretations of Brahms' music. The great moment of celebration came when Joachim, without the slightest hesitation, responded to the spontaneous request to play Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major.
Joachim remained in Berlin until his death in 1907.
Among the most notable of Joachim's achievements were the revivals of Bach's Sonatas and partitas for solo violin, BWV 1001-1006, and particularly of Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61. Joachim was the second violinist to play Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, which he studied with the composer. Joachim played a pivotal role in the career of Brahms, and remained a tireless advocate of Brahms's compositions through all the vicissitudes of their friendship. He conducted the English premiere of Brahms's Symphony No. 1 in C minor.
A number of Joachim's composer colleagues, including Schumann, Brahms, Bruch, and Dvořák composed concerti with Joachim in mind, many of which entered the standard repertory. Nevertheless, Joachim's solo repertoire remained relatively restricted. Despite his close friendship with Brahms, Joachim performed his Violin Concerto in D major only six times in his career. He never performed Schumann's Violin Concerto in D minor, which Schumann wrote especially for him, or Dvořák's Violin Concerto in A minor. The most unusual work written for Joachim was the F-A-E Sonata, a collaboration between Schumann, Brahms, and Albert Dietrich, based upon the initials of Joachim's motto, Frei aber Einsam (which can be translated as "free but lonely", "free but alone", or "free but solitary"). Although the sonata is rarely performed in its entirety, the third movement, the Scherzo in C minor, composed by Brahms, is still frequently played today.
Joachim's own compositions are less well known. He has a reputation as a composer of a short but distinguished catalogue of works. Among his compositions are various works for the violin (including three concerti) and overtures to Shakespeare's Hamlet and Henry IV. He also wrote cadenzas for a number of other composers' concerti (including the Beethoven and Brahms concerti). His most highly regarded composition is his Hungarian concerto (Violin Concerto No 2 in D minor, Op. 11).

Lions running backs Joique Bell, left, and Reggie Bush, right, will remain the top two options at the position, especially considering both are under contract for the next three years at more than $3 million per season. (Daniel Mears / Detroit News)
West Bloomfield � Lions running back Joique Bell is happy he doesn�t have to choose how to divvy running back snaps this season.
�I�m glad I�m not a coach because this is going to be a lot to handle,� he said Tuesday at his youth camp at West Bloomfield High School.
Based on how the Saints have utilized running backs in recent years, the Lions will give multiple backs a chance each game under new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, who spent the past seven seasons in New Orleans.
Bell and Reggie Bush will remain the top two options, especially considering both are under contract for the next three years at more than $3 million per season. But behind them, Theo Riddick could find a bigger role than he had as the No. 3 back as a rookie last year.
�Theo Riddick has had an awesome offseason, and seeing him progress from his rookie year until now, it looks like he�s going into his third or fourth year in the NFL,� Bell said. �The only thing he has to keep doing is learning the game and getting experience. He�ll be a great player in this league.�
Bell joined Bush, quarterback Dan Orlovsky and other Lions players in touting Riddick, who impressed this offseason while Bell was sidelined with a knee injury. On former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker�s podcast this week, Orlovsky compared Riddick to running back Darren Sproles, a home-run threat in the Saints offense the past three seasons.
While the praise from teammates makes sense, it�s far too early to compare Riddick to Sproles, especially considering Riddick had just nine carries and four receptions in 2013. When Sproles arrived in New Orleans in 2011, he effectively filled Bush�s role in the Saints� offense as someone who could run but was more effective as a pass catcher.
Bush has become a better runner between the tackles since leaving the Saints in 2010, but he�s still the most likely running back to be used as a big-play threat in the Lions� new offense.
Bell, meanwhile, will probably handle the Pierre Thomas role as someone who can run between the tackles and be effective on screens.
The Saints also gave a sizeable workload to Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson last season, which is why Riddick, Mikel Leshoure and other Lions backs can be optimistic about finding work in Lombardi�s system.
Riddick also takes pride in his pass blocking, which could help him earn snaps on third downs.
�Yeah, we�ll see what happens,� Bell said. �What me and Reggie did last year, we made history in the NFL. � But I train every season like I�m about to get a workload. We�ll see how this season goes.�
Last season Bush and Bell became the first tandem in NFL history to each have 500 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in a season.
Bush said earlier this offseason that rotating running backs as the Saints do will help keep them all fresh, but he didn�t know how the duties would be split.
Bell doesn�t know what the different roles will be either, but after playing more than expected the past two seasons, he�s not worried about losing touches.
�I haven�t talked to the coaches about it,� he said. �I�ve never been concerned with that. I�ve never asked the coaches why or how everything�s going to be ran. You just find your role, and you stick with it. And that�s what I�ve been doing, and it�s worked out for me.
�At the end of the day, it�s all about the team and what�s going to help the team be better.�

Lavalas flexes its muscles in Haiti
According to Rene Civil, one of the spokespersons for Operation Closed Door: "What we are seeing is the non-violent resistance of the Haitian people to undemocratic elections. There is no way they will be able to call the senators elected in this process legitimate. You cannot hold elections without the majority political party."
Ronald Fareau, another representative of the campaign, stated: "We want to congratulate the international community for their hypocrisy in these elections. They spent over $17 million on another electoral fraud in Haiti while our people continue to suffer from malnutrition and illiteracy."
The controversy over the election began when factions of the Fanmi Lavalas party originally presented two slates of candidates to the Conseil Electoral Provisoire or CEP. In an apparent attempt to wrest control from Aristide, one faction led by former Prime Minister Yvon Neptune questioned the legitimacy of the slate presented by the former president's appointed representative, Dr. Maryse Narcisse. Neptune's faction presented a second slate, but in the end the Fanmi Lavalas party's leadership managed to hammer out a compromise list of candidates in time to meet the deadline.
The CEP finally refused to accept the Fanmi Lavalas applications on the grounds they did not have former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's personal signature from exile in South Africa. The CEP reportedly would not allow for a facsimile copy of his signature on the documents when they were presented on the final day of the application deadline. This effectively excluded all Fanmi Lavalas candidates from participating in the election and led to the boycott of the Senate elections on Sunday.
When asked on Radio Caraibe's Ranmase program if he had a message for voters, Neptune responded, "Vote well." The success of yesterday's boycott was taken as a referendum of support for Aristide by the base of the Lavalas movement in the much-touted internal party conflict.
Although there were some reports of sporadic violence in yesterday's elections between supporters of current president Rene Preval's Lespwa party and its rival, L'Union, the disruptions were isolated to a single city, Mirebalais, in the country's Central Plateau region.
There were largely no reports of violence or voting irregularities in the capital, where streets and polling stations remained deserted throughout the day. The only incident occurred in the seaside shantytown of Cite Soleil after a member of the L'Union party was accused of handing out money and food to bribe voters.
Private vehicles and motorcycles were banned during the election as they were during the presidential election in February 2006. Where long lines formed at the polls early in the day on Feb. 7, 2006, polling stations remained virtually empty on Sunday due to the Lavalas boycott.
On the following day, thousands of demonstrators gathered in front of the parliament to support the hunger strikers as SWAT teams with the Haitian National Police, backed by U.N. military personnel, surrounded the building.
Popular initiative calls for removal of Bush appointee
He continued, "She claims it was because this was not a regular election year and that people may be tired of the political process. The only voter fatigue we have in Haiti is with undemocratic elections. Allow Fanmi Lavalas to participate and we'll show you the voters have a lot of energy and enthusiasm for an authentic democratic process. She is out of touch with reality in Haiti."
Haiti held controversial Senate elections last week that were boycotted by Fanmi Lavalas after all of their candidates were excluded on procedural grounds. Voters mostly stayed at home on Election Day after Lavalas launched a campaign called Operation Closed Door. The Obama administration is widely seen as having green lighted the contested elections after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton visited Haiti three days prior to the ballot.
The Popular Initiative has also called for a re-evaluation of U.S. policy in Haiti by the Obama administration, claiming that its current direction is a holdover from the Bush administration. A second spokesperson in the conference call declared, "It is time for a real change in Haiti and that can only come by breaking with the past, which means the policies of the Bush administration. A good place to start is with the removal of Ambassador Sanderson, who was put in place by the Bush government."
They also blamed Ambassador Janet Sanderson for pressuring the Preval administration to issue arrest warrants for 42 of the organizers of the election boycott, including five hunger strikers who were forced out of the parliament building by police earlier on Monday, the day after the election.
"She made remarks on the radio that the organizers should be investigated. Since then several of our people have been forced into hiding, including Rene Civil and Nawoon Marcellus. They have invented a new and bizarre charge, 'obstruction of democracy,'" concluded the spokesperson.
At a press conference yesterday, the Popular Initiative and other groups aligned with Lavalas announced they would step up the pressure for the return of Jean-Bertrand Aristide from exile in the Republic of South Africa. They declared May and June months of mass mobilization against elections that exclude Lavalas and to fight what they call the "growing misery and poverty as a result of the removal of our democratically elected president on Feb. 29, 2004."

10 Holiday Beauty Survival Tips
Holidays can take their toll on skin and hair, but you can lift your looks in minutes with these strategies and techniques.
From the time flappers took up scissors to crop their hair (not to mention their hemlines), short has equaled modern. And in an era when brevity reigns—we now tell whole stories in 140 characters or less—short hair seems especially current. But if you think of it as limiting, think again. In terms of versatility, "short hair is the new black," says Rodney Cutler, who sparked a fresh craze for the pixie cut when he famously cropped actress Emma Watson's hair, post Harry Potter, in 2010. And to prove the point, Cutler worked with stylists at his salons—there are four Cutler salons in New York City and South Beach, Florida—to create the adaptable styles shown here. Click here for the how-tos for this style. (In this story: Hair, Rodney Cutler for Cutler/Redken Salon. Stylist, Emma Heser for Cutler/Redken Salon. Makeup, Sandrine Van Slee.)

I worked for a couple of days a week ago with a digital architectural illustration team. Before you jump in and experience life at ground zero, you don't have a clue. I noticed that architectural illustration must obey its own rules and boundaries, many of which I had not observed when looking from the outside in.
I get along best with people who are their own designer and visualist. I guess, when one person does both things - you inherently have the communication and feedback between disiplines. I like working in project management myself, where contractors on site, technical experts and designers freely inter-miggle with each other. My tools are simple 2D drawings done using AutoCAD, but at least I avoid the 'loneliness of the lone distance architectural visualist'.
I have noticed the meme of 'sketchup' program spread all around the design community here in the city I live/work in - Dublin, Ireland. This happens every couple of years, when for a brief period, the architects discover software. They are thrilled to find this whole new space they can explore. Of course, what happens is they get busy and grow up. So all the modelling is out-sourced to the pros. A couple of years later, the fresh younger generation of 'upstarts' re-discover software again briefly, only to abandon it as before.
A lot of softwares claim to enable the designer to visualise their ideas - or create new ones. I have mixed feelings about software really, and what it can or cannot do. But one program always stood out for me. A program that embodied all that I wanted from a tool - it is Lightwave. Maybe it is just the fact, I have always like Star Wars etc. And Lightwave is that kind of tool which is used alot by people in movie industry. I don't know.
The Spin Quad forum for Lightwave users, especially their WIP forum, seems to me, what a modelling/rendering/animation online forum should be like. A real marketplace of ideas and techniques.
With a great tool like LW at their disposal, they really seem to be allowing their imaginations to roam free, and really getting the hang of what it should mean to model in the first place.
While I understand the different kinds of constraints placed upon architectural modellers, in terms of time limitations and necessity to take the views, etc the clients ask you for. It is a pity more of that investigative spirit in terms of modelling of space, building materials and structures doesn't go on here.
What I really love about the LW bunch, is their freedom to play with magic marker sketches, photos of real objects like old toys, old posters from old movies, and then model off that base. Sometimes, the modeller might use photoshop to perfectly air brush together something like a flat 2D vision of what he/she wants, before bringing that Photoshoped digital air brush rendering in, as something to work off of in a LW 3D environment.
It seems to me personally, this is the process and way in which modelling software should have developed. With this intimate connection between a designer using their hand to draw things, and a modeller on another. I feel this link was effectively broken in the game of 3D architectural modelling. Certainly, very few of the architectural visualists I know ever sit down with magic markers and layout paper and other designers.
Which is a real shame. Because neither understands the others thought process or tools. Mostly, it is a sad and miserable practice of emailing back and forth. That goes on for the brief duration, when the architectural illustrator is employed for the architect. Often the architectural visualist doesn't even get to meet the architect at all. He/she only gets a phonecall and a bunch of drawings of some intermediary person and gets on with it.

The entertainment in one word TERRIBLE...no comparison to Royal Caribbean at all shouldn't event be in the same sentence, from a tacky juggler who kept dropping things to two tacky lounge singers who sang at EVERY show and a muder mystery where 4 plain clothes ship personnel came out said 2 sentences or less and the audience had to figure out who did it...this ridiculousness took all of 20 minutes, worst than a ad hoc skit.
Worst of all was the show time theater itself...exteremely small and not well built many areas were behind poles and you couldn't see also because of the small capacity you had to get to a show at least 45 minutes and stand in line to get a seat...and for what since all of the shows were sub par 80's old school. Perhaps I was spoiled by royal caribbeans's REAL broadway shows like hairspray and chicago and there excellent professional ice skating and water shows. Carnival may not have a ice skating rink and a water show, but at least put time and effort into putting together a professional nice show instead of tired d class performers and the same ones every night that looked like they threw something together the night before.
The cruise director TERRIBLE ...dry not the least bit funny really should be called communication director all he really did was give information on safety and try to sell things.
Food - the food was ok, comparable to other lines, however the set up was not inviting at all I kept calling lido the cafeteria, because that's what it looked like it was huge with the kitchen in the middle that seemed to stretch forever, I will give them this there was seating where as on Royal Caribbean seating is almost impossible in the windjammer.
However, it lacked the intimacy of having various small spaces to sit where you don't feel like your being coralled in for the mid day feeding. All the free food is right together so you miss the intamcy of being able to go to different spots and feel like you eating at different venues it's just one long feeding frenzy. If different venues were broken up in different locations it would help with the crowd control as well.
Also, some of the concepts were nice in the lido, but not practical, like having made to order burritos, omlettes and wok dishes although nice with only 2-3 cooks for 4,500 plus people not really practical, made waiting time an experience to say the least.
Now onto the rooms...very disappointing, especially since Majic was almost 35% more expensive than oasis. I got a ocean suite which I usually get on similar ships...it was TINY! Not well laid out at all, the vanity area seperate from the bathroom was nice, but made the rest of the living space minisucle. Also the balcony was like a small pebble you couldn't even turn the lounge horizontal facing the ocean because the balcony was only like 35 ft, whereas the suite comparable on royal caribbean the balcony was over 100 ft! It was huge had two lounger both facing the ocean with room to spare a table that could seat four and still room to walk around. Carnival had 1 lounge vertical with no room a miniscule table that could barely seat two. Also the door and window to the balcony were confining there was a regular glass door(not sliding) and large square windows(not floor to ceiling) On royal carribean the entire balcony wall is glass floor to ceiling and there is a sliding glass door. Also, every night around 2-3 am there was loud clanging, grinding sound, first night I thought there was some mechanical problems...don't know what it was, but very annoying...I was on the 7th floor.
Service- I thought service was very good, considering all the negative comments I heard the dining staff for the most part did everything they could to please the service was fast. The room attendant did a good job also, although the staff overall didn't seem very happy they were always polite and helpful.
Now...what did I like...The outside space which I think is what this ship was built around was nice, although generally directed for kids(that was ok because I have 1), but the layout with everything seperate was nice. The slides in their on spot, the fitness and sports court in seperate spot and the adult area was nice also. On the downside the 2 pools were miniscule and ice cold.
If you like cheesy shows, line dancing and gambling for entertainment, mediocre food and in my opion and overall subpar vacation, nothing special, low expectations then this may be the ship for you. Most of the people onboard were from texas so they didn't have to drive far so it is convienent if you live close by, but if you want over the top entertainment, beautiful venues, top rate cruise director...awesome venues...really a jaw dropping experience then royal caribbean.... that's where I'll be.

Report: League voided Saints' contract with Payton
The NFL voided the contract extension Saints head coach Sean Payton received in September 2011, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Saints RB Sproles (hand) out for Monday night
Saints RB Darren Sproles needed surgery on a broken hand and will not play in Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Saints using scalpel rather than sledgehammer on defense
The Saints are on pace to shatter the record for most yards allowed in a season, but Joe Vitt has shot down the idea of making dramatic changes.
Colston finished with five catches for 52 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' season-ending loss to Carolina on Sunday.||||||| Colston finished with 83 catches for 1,154 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season.
Colston finished with a season-high 10 catches for 153 yards in the Saints' win over Dallas on Sunday.||||||| Colston has 78 catches for 1,102 yards and eight touchdowns on the season.
Colston has scored the 56th touchdown of his career and with New Orleans, surpassing Saints' all-time rusher Deuce McAllister for the club record. The wide receiver, a seventh-round draft choice out of Hofstra in 2006, surpassed McAllister with 10-yard reception over the middle in the second quarter of New Orleans' game against San Francisco on Sunday.||||||| The touchdown catch was Colston's eighth of the season and gave New Orleans a 14-7 lead over the 49ers in the second quarter. Colston entered the game with 6,961 career yards receiving, ranking third in Saints history behind Eric Martin (7,854) and Joe Horn (7,622). Colston also was third in catches coming in with 500, behind Martin (532) and Horn (523).
Colston finished with nine catches for 131 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 31-24 win over San Diego.||||||| Colston's big night gave him a franchise-record 52 TD catches with the Saints (1-4). After a very quiet first three games, Colston has hauled in 18 receptions for 284 yards and four TDs in his last two.
Colston caught nine passes for 153 yards a TD on Sunday.||||||| This is the type of game fantasy owners hope Colston can produce on a consistent bassis.

Authorities have charged an East Point mother after she allegedly
admitted to falsely reporting that her 3-year-old daughter was missing.Officers and firefighters searched an East Point neighborhood for two hours in frigid temperatures for Kamile Shorter on Tuesday night. A Levi's Call was about to be issued when the girl was found.Kamile's mother, Cyndi Cuffie, initially said the little girl was playing in the backyard when she suddenly vanished, but later admitted the story wasn't true, according to police.
"The child was located at the Hapeville Police Department," said Lt. Cliff Chandler of the East Point Police Department. "They were contacted earlier this afternoon by a daycare in Hapeville. The child was apparently dropped off there earlier today by the mother prior to our agency being contacted about her being missing."Police said they believe the mother dropped her child off at the Hapeville daycare and then reported her missing as a cry for attention."We believe Ms. Cuffie was going through a depressive state and we think that she was motivated by trying to keep some family members and a boyfriend in her life," Chandler said. Authorities have charged Cyndi Cuffie with making false statements to police. That is a felony charge.Police said the child will be placed in the custody of Division of Family and Children Services.

Trio on lake boat taken to hospital (From Salisbury Journal)

Trio on lake boat taken to hospital
2:37pm Monday 8th April 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
A woman and two children have been taken to hospital with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning from the same lake where a mother and daughter died last week in similar circumstances.
It is believed the family became ill on Windermere in Cumbria after leaving their boat engine running with the canopy closed. They managed to raise the alarm themselves by calling police who then rang the coastguard at about 7.30pm on Saturday.
North West Ambulance Service said the woman and both children on board were conscious and alert as they were taken to Lancaster Royal Infirmary. All three were later discharged after precautionary checks.
A spokeswoman for Liverpool Coastguard said lake wardens found the Bayliner cabin cruiser at a mooring with two adults and two children on board. The family, who had borrowed the boat from a friend, was transferred to a waiting ambulance.
The incident came just five days after the deaths of Kelly Webster, 36, and her daughter, Lauren Thornton, 10, from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning while on a boating holiday.
The pair, from Leyland, Lancashire, were treated by paramedics and airlifted to Lancaster Royal Infirmary where they died. Miss Webster's partner, Matthew Eteson, 39, the boat's owner, was released from hospital the following day after he received treatment.
Detectives are investigating whether the non-suspicious deaths were caused by a faulty generator on the Bayliner cruiser.
Cumbria Constabulary is continuing to advise lake users to ensure they follow appropriate safety advice before embarking on a trip to the Lake District and consult with the lake wardens' office if they have any doubts or require further advice.
Mark Roach, from Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service, said: "Please remember carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas given off by all appliances burning fossil fuels such as gas, coal, wood or oil, if they're not working properly or in an enclosed space.
"Incidents can prove fatal and even low levels can cause lasting damage to your health. Always follow instructions when using gas appliances and other items such as camping stoves, lights and even barbecues. Carbon monoxide has no taste, smell or colour. We strongly recommend that you fit an audible carbon monoxide alarm in your home and take one on holiday."

Bridging both Europe and Asia Minor, Istanbul is literally where "East meets West." The city was founded by Constantine the Great and the history of this capital dates back sixteen centuries to the powerful Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Many of our voyages include overnight stays in this legendary city, allowing more time to explore Istanbul's highlights. Shop among the winding byways of the Grand Bazaar and the exotic stalls of the Spice Bazaar. Tour the magnificent courtyards of Topkapi Palace, stroll among the treasures of the Blue Mosque with its unique six minarets, then view Dolmabahce Palace, the one-time residence of the sultans. Or you may cruise along the Bosphorus for a unique perspective of the city's numerous seaside mansions, mosques and palaces.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Your half-day excursion begins with a drive across the Bosphorus Bridge, the world's fifth-longest suspension bridge. Crossing to the Asian side of the city, you arrive at the Beylerbeyi District, home of an opulent palace of the same name.
Designed and built by Sultan Abdul Aziz in the 19th century, Beylerbeyi Palace contains 26 rooms and several large halls. The white marble structure was used as a summer palace and guest house for foreign dignitaries visiting the Ottoman Empire. The palace highlights the elegance, charm and magnificent style that characterized this period.
The first room you visit is the elaborately decorated Reception Hall. Its centerpiece is a twisting staircase surrounded by gorgeous examples of Islamic art and style. Notice the Egyptian hasir, or reed mats, on the floors and the solid marble pool and fountain. After viewing the interior, continue with your guide to the royal stables and terraced gardens that overlook the Bosphorus.
Afterwards, drive to Sakirin Mosque at Karacaahment and visit the modern version of a mosque with interesting applications. Then, travel to the shores of the Marmara Sea to Salacak for tea and enjoy views of the Old Town.
Re-board your motor coach and drive through Uskudar, crossing the Bosphorus Bridge to Europe and arriving at your ship.
Please note: As this excursion involves extensive walking and standing with steps to negotiate, it is not available to wheelchair guests and not recommended for guests with walking difficulties. Conservative dress is required for visiting mosques. All female guests will be required to cover their heads, shoulders and arms and shorts above knee-length are not allowed for both male and female visitors. Flat, comfortable walking shoes. are recommended. Extremely dense traffic congestion can be anticipated and may affect the duration of this excursion. The order of sights visited may vary.
Terms & Conditions:
Free Unlimited Shore Excursions are for full fare guests only, capacity controlled and subject to availability. Requested excursions may not be available at time of booking. Supplement will apply on Regent Choice excursions (indicated by the above) and excludes Private Arrangements and all Adventures Ashore programs. In order to ensure quality guides and sufficient transportation, we must provide the tour operator with passenger counts at least 36 hours in advance. Therefore no refunds will be given within 36 hours of tour departure for cancellations or no-shows. Please pay special attention to scheduling and tour lengths when booking your shore excursions. In many cases, it is not possible to participate in more than one tour per day in a given port. Tour Departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time. Tours operate rain or shine. Minor children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a an adult parent or guardian on all shore excursions. Tours require minimum participation levels to operate so please sign up as early as possible. Tours may be cancelled if minimum participation levels are not met.

Hello everybody,
My app can be controlled both by keyboard and by touch, and runs on purely keybord-only devices such as Asha 302, touch and type (can be controlled both ways) and the purely touch-based devices like the Asha 501. If a device has no keyboard , there is no point to display a lot of parts of the UI however (like a small tutorial how to control the game with a keyboard ). For this reason, I would like to be able to tell if the device I am running on has any type of keyboard and only display those parts of the UI then. To wit:
private boolean hasKeyboard()
//if running on Asha 501, 311 (anything else? ) return false
// otherwise return true (does not matter if the keyboard is a T9 or a QWERTY or whatever )
How to implement my function?

Do you ever regret not spending?
This guest post comes from Frank Curmudgeon at Bad Money Advice.
As any reader of Bad Money Advice knows, I enjoy nothing more than tweaking the nose of personal-finance conventional wisdom. Well, joy of joys, The New York Times recently had an article, in the science section no less, that spits in conventional wisdom's face, knees it in the groin and then kicks it as it rolls on the ground.
The piece discussed the work (.pdf file) of Ran Kivetz and Anat Keinan, two professors of marketing from the Columbia and Harvard business schools, respectively. (Marketing professor is, incidentally, the same line of work as the authors of "The Millionaire Next Door.") They have discovered a new malady to avoid: saver's remorse. It's just what it sounds like: that sad feeling you get with money in your pocket that you could have spent in some enjoyable way but, in a moment of weakness, chose to save.
This is just so awesome.
Free entertainment abounds online.
One luxury you can cut when costs for essentials are rising is your cable or satellite TV service. But how can you still watch your favorite shows?
David at My Two Dollars presents "35 ways to watch television without cable or satellite," and he's not just talking rabbit ears. After Option No. 1, an antenna, the rest are Web sites. Readers provided more suggestions, so the list is now up to 42 possibilities.
With a little care, your duds won't die early.
This post comes from Andrea Dickson at partner blog Wise Bread.
With everyone trying to stretch their dollars further these days, it makes sense to take care of the things we have, rather than buy replacements. This goes for clothing as much as anything else we own and use on a daily basis.
As a reformed clotheshorse, I struggle to prevent myself from shopping for new duds on a daily basis.
If you delay using them, you can achieve bigger savings.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Many people don't bother to clip coupons, mostly because they believe that a 50-cent coupon isn't worth the effort. On the surface, I agree. Without a clever coupon strategy, it's probably not worth the effort.
About two months ago, I was talking about this with a friend who works for Hy-Vee, a grocery store chain here in Iowa. He gave me a tip: Take the coupon section out of the Sunday paper and put it aside for four weeks. Then open it up and clip everything that's even remotely of interest, whether you'd normally buy it or not.
Blogger's wallet -- and sanity -- thank her.
Jennifer Derrick had the guts to bring this up with her extended family: Let's not exchange gifts this year. If her window had been open, we suspect she would have heard the collective sigh of relief.
Jennifer is not a scrooge. But she did think about how meaningless -- and how stressful --the commercial aspect of the holiday had become to her. In an excellent post at Saving Advice called "The totally free (or nearly) Christmas," she explains how her thinking evolved:
Attempts to be frugal often fall flat.
Spurred on by the faltering economy, more people are trying to spend wisely and save money. But are we getting results?
Blogger Kay Bell at Don't Mess With Taxes points to a New York Times story called "Failing home economics" that questions many people's methods.
Blogger's advice: 'Be honest.'
Kris at Cheap Healthy Good is equally interested in personal finance and nutrition. Recently she combined her insights about people with severe problems in each area into one post: "Touchy subjects: Confronting loved ones about weight and money problems."
"What do you say to your 65-year-old father who puts on 100 pounds in five years? How do you tell your mom you can't support her if she has no savings when she retires?" Kris asks. "The short answer: Be honest."
Here are some highlights from her long answer:
His view on borrowing doesn't sit well with this blogger.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
As much good as he does, Dave Ramsey drives me nuts with his extreme views on debt.
Ramsey, as he readily admits, did some really stupid things with debt. Leveraged to the hilt on bad real estate deals, he went bust in a way most of us could never imagine. As a real estate investor, my leverage and borrowing comes nowhere near the toxic level Ramsey went to.
- Bing: More on Dave Ramsey
Why? Because Ramsey's personality is one of extremes. Much like an alcoholic, he could not control his use of debt. He got one taste of that leverage, and he was borrowing before noon ever day.

We're welcoming 2014 with a snow storm!
A snowy day ahead, as the system that is overhead will take all of the day to push out and then change to lake effect. When it's all said and done greater Cleveland could see 4-6"of new snow, farther east 5-6" the Canton area around 2-4".
Friday afternoon we get a little reprieve and get a little sun/cloud mix. This clearing will take us into Saturday and is short lived as the next snow storm will move in Saturday night and Sunday. Monday morning commute could be tricky because this system carries a lot of moisture so it has the potential to leave us with more inches of new snow. [View the 7-day forecast HERE]

For riders who don't want the night to impede their performance or safety then this is the perfect cycling jersey, with highly reflective trim keeping you visible to other riders and road users. Altura have made this short sleeve top using high wicking, quick dry fabric. As a result, all the moisture that accumulates is quickly pulled away to keep you dry and comfortable throughout your ride. This jersey is also made from 100% polyester so it is light and breathable on your skin. Ideal for people who love to ride on their road bike, if the road unexpectedly takes you off road then the Night Vision jersey is just as capable. Altura have kitted out this cycling jersey with 3 rear pockets to stash all your essentials in like your house keys and phone, and because all the pockets are at the rear, you won't be annoyed by keys dangling down at either side of you. The jersey also has a Night Vision Velcro LED mount that can give you extra visibility in poorer light conditions.Colours: Red, Yellow. Polyester.


text: i would think limiting myself to one reward a month for binge free behavior would lead me to a fukitol attitude. For instance on day 15 I find something I really really really want, so I buy it. There is my one reward... so now I have 15 days where I have to be good without a reward... screw that my mind would say... I say give yourself TWO rewards a month. One midway and one at the end. Why would a dog sit if there's no treat in it??

TOULOUSE, France (AP) -- France's president is asking the nation's children to honor those killed in a shooting in a Jewish school and warning that it could have happened anywhere.
Schools across France held a moment of silence Tuesday to honor the three children and a rabbi killed in Monday's attack in the southern city of Toulouse.
Nicolas Sarkozy, visiting a junior high school in Paris, said the children killed "are exactly like you." He said the attack "could have happened here."
The killer, also suspected in the deaths of three paratroopers last week, is still at large.
Sarkozy said authorities "will do everything to stop him."

Carhart gloves Xl Fit very well. The lining pulls out a little when you sweat in it. You would definitely have to put a fan on these overnight or put them in the dryer to dry out the liner if you plan on using these gloves daily. You could buy two pairs and rotate them out.
I do labor with steady walking and moving for 4 to 8 hours outdoors. These gloves kept me warm and I was sweating down to 40°, I believe you could go between 20° to 40° with these gloves as long as you are moving and generating heat.
These gloves are more form fitting to my hand then the Wells Lamont rip-offs. With Carhartt I am able to work the controller to press and hold button to make machinery work. Can be a little too bulky but for my purposes just holding a button it works. The WL gloves are bulky and will hit other buttons close by stopping the machinery.
Unfortunately these gloves state they are waterproof but after tested = NOT WATERPROOF, water resistant at best, in light rain for an hour or so you might be alright.
Another person purchased these gloves that did the exact job I am doing he wore them in the rain and told me NOT WATERPROOF. I placed the Carhartt gloves in bucket of water and water came in.
These gloves fit well around my hand and I feel will have good durability. I have not used these much due to the mild winter but when I did they kept me very warm I am considering purchasing the black pair for when I work security jobs outdoors.
