Boy's feminine footwear incites commenting stormA preschooler's pink slippers cause a flurry of online comments.
Pink is for girls. Blue is for boys. So our chromatic tradition holds. As society has become more broadminded about gender, you might expect that our prescriptive color palette would expand, too.
A five-year-old boy's selection of pink zebra-striped flats for school shoes sparked some online debate among adults this week.
Since the preschooler's sister posted a photo of her brother Sam on the Facebook community site "Have a Gay Day" last Thursday, over 14,000 comments have ensued. Most remarks are supportive. ("That just looks like a happy kid to me. Bravo mom!!")
However, as the sister explains in her post, several of the boy's own relatives were not as accepting. The boy's mother posted the same photo of Sam on her Facebook page where an aunt remarked that such behavior would "turn him gay."
Blogger Mary Fischer on The Stir insisted that Sam's mother was courting controversy, stating, "I'm sure you can guess the negative kind of things that were said about his pink shoes," then listing the aunt's same concern among her examples.
Most criticism suggests that parents should protect their children from potential bullying stemming from non-stereotypical gender behaviors. But according to the sister's post the boy received only compliments from his peers, no teasing. "What does it say about society when a group of adults could stand to take a lesson in humanity from a class of preschoolers?" the sister wrote.
The boy chose the shoes because the zebra is his favorite animal. When his mother told him that the shoes were for girls, Sam responded, "ninjas can wear pink shoes, too."

Today's Tarot for Rudi Bakhtiar
Celtic Cross
spread is one of the most popular Tarot spreads, providing varied insight into many aspects of a complex situation and your role in it. The
International Icon Tarot
renders traditional occult symbolism in Swiss iconography. It is a humorous and direct approach to divination, and one of our favorite new decks. If you would like your own copy of the International Icon Tarot, you can
buy it now
The card
not shown
but at the center of the cross, represents
the atmosphere surrounding the central issue
Three of Swords (Sorrow)
: Unsettling news leading to heartbreak or loneliness. Tactless or hurtful words. Acting without consideration for the emotions of others. Betrayal of trust or confidence. The revelation of a painful truth.
The card visible at the center of the cross represents
the obstacle that stands in your way
- it may even be something that sounds good but is not actually to your benefit.
King of Swords
: The essence of air, such as a clear blue sky: A mature leader of unwavering ethics and indisputable authority. An incorruptible judge, whose devotion to the law cannot be swayed by emotion or material concerns. Perfect clarity of thought, directness of action, and eloquence of speech. One who, like a great general, inspires not love or devotion, but absolute trust and loyalty.
The card at the top of the cross represents
your goal, or the best you can achieve without a dramatic change of priorities
Six of Cups (Pleasure)
: Opening your heart to the simple pleasures of life. Fond memories fuel the playful embrace of love and life. Experiencing the joy of youth and sexual innocence. Engaging in acts of gentle kindness. Harmony of natural forces without effort or strain. Meeting an old friend.
The card at the bottom of the cross represents
the foundation on which the situation is based
The Chariot, when reversed
: Ineffective use of force. Might turned against the weak or the righteous. Senseless violence and warmongering. Lack of discipline and poor direction fan the flames of a situation already out of control. Advance without consideration of the consequences for others.
The card at the left of the cross represents
a passing influence or something to be released
Six of Wands (Victory), when reversed
: Arrogance and dangerous overconfidence as the result of a past success. Impudence and false pride in meaningless achievements. Fear of failure coupled with false hopes. Frustration over indefinite delays and motion without progress.
The card at the right of the cross represents
an approaching influence or something to be embraced
Four of Swords (Truce)
: A time of tranquility and intellectual repose in the midst of a great struggle. A temporary retreat from stress to regather inner strength, reaffirm convictions, reorganize thoughts, and formulate a new plan. The need for vigilance in a moment of calm. May suggest a withdrawal from the material world to find spiritual guidance.
The card at the base of the staff represents
your role or attitude
Nine of Cups (Happiness)
: Contentment and satisfaction in romance, friendship, or other relationships. Achieving your deepest desires and savoring beauty and sensual pleasures. A state of joy and abundance radiating fulfillment and bliss.
The card second from the bottom of the staff represents
your environment and the people you are interacting with
The Emperor
: Worldly authority and power. Social mastery and oratory. One who is intelligent, experienced, confident and reasonable. A patriarch or primary male influence. The motive force of politics and society. The ability to fulfill plans and use mental control over the emotions.
The card second from the top of the staff represents
your hopes, fears, or an unexpected element that will come into play
Eight of Cups (Indolence)
: Losing interest in a matter deeply important to you. Being forced to abandon something in which you had invested great love and devotion. Seeking earthly, physical pleasures, to the exclusion of spiritual growth and emotional fulfillment. Emotional withdrawal and lethargy.
The card at the top of the staff represents
the ultimate outcome should you continue on this course
: The achievement of balance and inner harmony after a great trial. Agreements, contracts, or treaties concluded justly. Things set to rights. Karma restored. A turn for the better in legal matters.

The Mississippi State baseball team finds itself as the No. 23 team in the nation.
It's just in time to host the Nittany Lions of Penn State for a two-game midweek series today and Wednesday.
The Bulldogs (10-2) are coming off a successful four-game weekend where they finished a perfect 4-0 with a pair of wins over both the University of Connecticut and Lipscomb University.
In the four games, Mississippi State turned in a .326 batting average while pounding out 45 hits, including a season-high 19 hits in the weekend finale.
MSU third baseman Daryl Norris, who is batting at a .400 clip for the season, led the Bulldogs at the plate with an 8-for-16 effort. Sophomore C.T. Bradford set a career and team season-highs with a 4-for-6, six RBI outing on Sunday.
The Nittany Lions enter the week with a 2-6 record and played Samford on Monday evening.┬Ā For the season, Penn State has a team batting average of .213 and a staff ERA of 4.63.
Despite the numbers behind the Nittany Lions, MSU coach John Cohen understands they will present a challenge for the Diamond Dawgs.
ŌĆ£This is going to be a challenge for us because theyŌĆÖll have some big, physical guys on their bench,ŌĆØ said Cohen. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre going to be a little short on the mound because we threw so many guys over the weekend but weŌĆÖve got to find a way to navigate it.ŌĆØ
The Bulldogs extended themselves during the four-game series last weekend and while they knew it would present problems playing Penn State in the midweek, it was just something Cohen couldnŌĆÖt pass up.
ŌĆ£You know, Butch (Thompson) is looking at me like 'really, weŌĆÖre going to play four in a weekend and then play two in the middle?' He was right, but how do you turn down a chance to play Penn State when they are in our area? They have a great athletic department, great tradition and a lot of athletes on their ballclub.ŌĆØ
Mississippi State sends Bradford to the mound on Tuesday for his first action of the season as a pitcher.
The Bulldogs also expect to have a pair of starters back on the field as Brent Brownlee and Trey Porter should return from injury.┬Ā┬Ā
ŌĆ£I think those guys could have played, but I just didnŌĆÖt want to do it,ŌĆØ said Cohen. ŌĆ£I think Trey Porter will be ready to go on (today) and Wednesday and I think Brent Brownlee will too. An extra day of rest is really going to help those guys.ŌĆØ
First pitch for today's and Wednesday matchups is set for 6:30 p.m. at Dudy Noble Field.View more articles in:

Click on Spanish Federation Links for Spanish Soccer Federation International Technification Soccer Camp Dates, Prices, Camp Location, Camp Details, Airport Transfer and Photos
Welcome to the HOME of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Champions and 2008 & 2012 UEFA European Champions: Spanish Soccer Federation International Soccer Camp at La Ciudad del Futbol, the National training center of Spain National Soccer Teams in Madrid.
This special soccer camp offers Residential and Day Camp soccer sessions for 10 – 16 year old boys.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (Spanish: Real Federación Española de Fútbol, RFEF) is the governing body of soccer in Spain and is organizing this international technification summer soccer camp again in 2014.
Spanish soccer is on top of the World since the Spanish National team won the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup in South Africa and the European Championship in 2008 in Germany and 2012 in Ukraine
2012 participants in Madrid with the 2012 UEFA European Trophy won by Spain
Spanish club teams like Real Madrid FC and FC Barcelona are known by soccer fans from around the world. The Spanish National team is recognized and respected by National teams all over the world. Spain has produced many great players (Butragueno, Raul, and Zubizarreta before and now players such as Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi, and Torres) over the years.
The biggest soccer stars in the world play or have played in the Spanish Futbol League: Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, Beckham, Zidane, and many more.
This Spanish Soccer Federation International Soccer Camp promises to be very popular and players should expect to learn how to develop their skills the Spanish Way.
The camp training sessions will be based on technical and tactical work which will be applied in game situations. Players are assigned to small groups to get the best one on one approach with the coaches (3 levels of soccer practices during the camp based on player's level established on the first day of camp). The camp size is limited to give the opportunity for each player to have a better individual coaching session.
Specific goalkeeper practice will be available during all sessions.
Eduardo Valcárcel, Director of the RFEF Foundation Football Schools will be present during some of the training sessions during the camp.
This Soccer camp is aimed at Registered/Licensed (club) players who have reached a good level of soccer practice and are looking to improve their physical and technical performance through soccer programs based on the latest methods conducted by professional RFEF coaches. Players will have an experience with children from all over the world. For those who do not quite play at such a standard, we strongly recommend a more recreational soccer camp instead. If the camp staff sees at the beginning of the camp that you have a beginner's level or just want a recreational soccer camp during the course, they will transfer you to a more recreational camp.

I Have an SSRS 2008 Report whose dataset runs a SQL query that returns a calculated column. This dataset fills a table in the report.
The calculated column is returning up to 4 decimals. I want to round to the nearest 2 decimals. i.e., 8660.125 should become 8660.13, 1487.8521 should become 1487.85
Sample of the query:
select [Hours] * [Rate] * [Complexity] * [Efficiency] from Hours
I would perfer to perform this rounding in the SQL Query rather than the SSRS table because we are trying to keep the tables "unintelligent" so we can encapsulate all our logic in the SQL Query itself. Suggestions?

The Westboro Baptist Church announced that it planned to picket the funeral of Oscar-winning actress and anti-AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor after she died Wednesday at age 79.
Taylor, arguably the last great star of Hollywood's golden era, died six weeks after being admitted to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai hospital with congestive heart failure, a condition she had struggled with for years.
"My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love," said her son Michael Wilding, adding that she was surrounded by her children when she died.
The Westboro Baptist Church has become infamous for picketing the funerals of U.S. soldiers and carrying signs that state "God hates fags." In typical fashion Margie J. Phelps, daughter of the church's leader Fred Phelps, said Taylor "joined Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger in hell."
Taylor won two Academy Awards for best actress, including in the 1966 classic "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" one of many films she played opposite Richard Burton.
The Welsh-born actor was one of the great loves of Taylor's life — she married and divorced him twice — but her stormy relationships off-screen and eight marriages often overshadowed her glittering film career.
In her later years, she blazed a trail as an activist to raise funds to fight AIDS/HIV, working hard to support research into a cure, and dispel the stigma surrounding the illness.
"Her legacy improved the lives of millions of people, and will continue for many generations to come," longtime activist AIDS Kevin Frost who heads the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), co-founded by Taylor, told AFP.
As her health failed in later years, she retired from the public gaze, although she notably attended the 2009 funeral of her longtime friend Michael Jackson.
Tributes poured in from across the world Wednesday, as actors and directors mourned Taylor's passing.

Plains farmland up more than 20 percent, sets records
Farmland values in the U.S. Plains states jumped more than 20 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier as farms sold at record-high prices, with the biggest jump seen in irrigated land given the worst drought in 50 years, the Kansas City Federal Reserve bank said.
This was the seventh consecutive quarter irrigated and non-irrigated cropland values posted year-over-year gains of more than 20 percent as record crop prices kept demand hot for farmland, according to a quarterly survey of bankers by the Kansas City Fed released on Friday.
"What really stuck out in the survey was the difference between irrigated and non-irrigated cropland values...irrigated land is a way to protect from the possibility of these droughts," said Nathan Kauffman, a KC fed economist and one of the authors of the survey.
"Persistent drought sparked a rush in irrigated farmland sales during the fourth quarter of 2012. Stronger sales vaulted irrigated cropland values in the District 30 percent above year-ago levels, with a 13 percent jump in the fourth quarter alone," the Fed said of its survey, which draws on comments from 232 district bankers.
Non-irrigated cropland and ranchland posted strong annual gains of between 20 and 25 percent.
The KC Fed district stretches across major wheat, corn and cattle states of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wyoming along with parts of New Mexico and Missouri.
U.S. Plains farmland values:
Farmland values are closely tracked by government economists as a gauge of the U.S. economy and health of the banking system. In recent years both crop prices and farmland prices have set records as the burgeoning biofuels industry and record food exports spotlighted the value of hard assets.
In turn, farm income has also set records. But skyrocketing land values have stirred banker fears about the possibility of a ruinous farmland bubble like the one seen in the 1980s U.S. farm crisis, when over-leveraged farmers lost their land when interest rates jumped.
"Farm prices are high, but so are commodity prices and interest rates are very low. Those are the two biggest determinants of what farm ground should sell for," said Phil Burns, chief executive of F&M Bank in West Point, Nebraska. "The question becomes how sustainable are either or both looking longer term? In the short term everything looks fine."
The Kansas City district survey comes after fourth quarter surveys earlier this week from the St Louis and Chicago Fed banks. The latter two surveys covered the northern Corn Belt and central Delta states, with both reporting similar results - strong farm income aided by crop insurance and strong farm spending for land and equipment, partly due to year-end doubts about higher taxes in 2013.
Farmers remain the predominate land buyers, accounting for three-fourth of the sales in the Plains in the fourth quarter. Bankers said farmers used more cash to finance purchases compared to a year ago. Nonfarmers continued to buy land for investment purposes.
"Almost all recent auctions were sold to the largest farmers in the area wanting to get bigger. The buyers are strong and most are cash sales," said one banker from northwest Missouri.
Cash rental rates also surged in the quarter, with irrigated cropland up 20 percent and non-irrigated rising more than 14 percent.
Farm incomes rebounded in the quarter despite expectations that drought would hurt profits, the KC Fed said.
"Crop incomes remained high, as farm operations with irrigated cropland had less yield loss and sold crops at high prices, while many farm operations without irrigation received crop insurance payments, mitigating losses," the bank said.
Following the autumn harvest crop prices eased back as export demand weakened and ethanol production slowed, providing some relief to livestock producers through lower feed costs. Significantly, cattle and hogs firmed in the quarter improving profits in the livestock sector toward the end of 2012. The district contains the top cattle feedlot states, with the exception of Texas.
Higher farm incomes boosted capital spending and led to improved agricultural lending conditions, although overall loan demand remained low with many grain farmers flush with cash. Loan repayment rates increased at a pace on par with a year ago while interest rates for operating and real estate loans edged lower, the bank survey said.
"Although fourth-quarter incomes were better than expected, bankers expressed concerns that drought could affect some areas further in coming months. Farm incomes were expected to drop in Kansas and Oklahoma, as pasture conditions generally remained poor due to ongoing drought. But strong farm incomes were expected to continue in areas with sufficient water availability," the Fed said.
"Water scarcity led to differing farm incomes and farmland-value gains by state," the bank added.

The Big Ten's* proposal for college football's upcoming playoff system is pretty terrible. At the time, it seemed like the only possible way the world's most confusing postseason could get even more confusing, but that's not quite true. Since we'll undoubtedly be stuck with something as stupid as the Rose Bowl plan, let's take heart in knowing there are quite a few worse ideas out there.
* Hey, let's stop being so quick to judge. Maybe it was Conference USA's plan. Maybe Conference USA just really likes the Rose Bowl. Everybody likes the Rose Bowl.
The Intermission Plan
The playoffs begin before the regular season, using the previous season's rankings*. Then, once the regular season has ended and every game has mattered, the second round begins.
Controversial wrinkle: one team that didn't make the first round will be eligible to replace one team that did, provided Jim Delany doesn't like the team that's hogging all the tourney space.
* We would use preseason rankings, but teams haven't even taken the field yet.
The Innervisions Plan
Pretty much all instruments were played by Stevie Wonder. And every song's a good song!
The Every-Bowl-A-Rose-Bowl Plan
Every bowl is sacred. The Rose Bowl is the biggest and most beautiful, but communities around the world depend on every other bowl game forming a perfect bowl ecosystem. Removing even one bowl would damage the entire sporting environment.
Thus, every bowl should be included in the semifinals round. The winner of each bowl will be eligible for the title game, so long as the winner of each bowl is also the winner of the Rose Bowl.
The national champion is Indiana.
The Notre Dame Plan
The national champion is chosen by Notre Dame.
The Noted Dan Plan
The national champion is chosen by noted Packers quarterback Don Majkowski. (It's called the Noted Dan Plan.)
The Steely Dan Plan
All instruments were played by Steely Dan.
The Stan Van Plan
The national champion is chosen by Dwight Howard.
The Scandal Plan
Similar to the Rose Bowl plan, but all mid-scandal teams will be quarantined in the Evil Rose Bowl in Anti-Pasadena.
The Probation Plan
Similar to the Rose Bowl plan, but with (1) a three-team playoff bracket consisting only of teams that are on bowl bans and (2) all other teams playing in their regularly scheduled bowls.
If more than three teams are banned from bowls, the national champion is Louisville.
The Prohibition-Proof Plan
The national champion is West Virginia.
The Purdue-Proof Plan
Rules are rules.
The Punt-Prone Plan, Brought To You By Allstate
Semifinalists are determined by total regular season punting yardage.
When life makes you punt, punt Allstate.
The Prank Pete Plan
We'll sneak into Pete Carroll's house and switch out all his Seahawks gear for USC stuff. He'll be so scared!
The Prank Delany Plan, A.K.A. The Sun Plan
INDIANAPOLIS -- A coalition of college conference presidents announced Monday that they've agreed to a college football postseason plan. Television partners have all been totally lined up, and there's nothing anybody can do to derail this now [snickering].
Under the new arrangement [giggle], the top four teams at the end of the regular season will play in a two-round tournament. Also eligible for title game entry will be the [tittering!] two teams that appear in the Sun Bowl.
The Stern Plan
The nation's top recruits all suddenly find themselves committed to Rutgers, Northwestern or UCLA.
The Selig Plan
To determine homefield advantage, you gotta take good players from everywhere to play this whole other game, and you throw it together, sometimes you end it for like no reason in overtime, but then you apply that to a field of eight or maybe 16 teams, I'm not really sure, but just mess with it, and we're moving Middle Tennessee to Texas.
The Bettman Plan, Brought To You By Goody's Headache Powder
Every school that wishes to be included in the BCS must first spend a trial season in Atlanta.
When you have a headache, headache Goody's Headache Powder.
The Goodell Plan
/scapegoats something, plus something else
The Plus-? Plan
Rounds will continue being added until a champion is determined.
That's as far as we got on that one. Oh, oh, also, there's this guy who comes around and kills you sometimes, but we haven't figured out why yet. And this girl with big boobs.
The Divide-By-One Plan
No change.
The Minus-One-At-A-Time Plan
At the end of the year, final scores across the country will be stricken from the record books, week-by-week, turning back the clock until we reach a point at which a Big Ten team ranks No. 1. This can continue as long as it has to.
The national champion is 2007 Ohio State, a team that could really get out there and execute.
The Execution Plan, Model I
Players get to sit around and tell coaches to get out there and execute, since you guys think it's so darn easy.
The Execution Plan, Model II
The Exhibitions Plan
Instead of a traditional bracket, all teams with winning-ish records will pair up for exhibitions in locales far from their fan bases. Games will be financed by local tourism and industry, with some proceeds going back to universities, but most proceeds just being straight up proceeds, son.
Elsewhere, one extra special game will feature the country's top two teams as selected by hamstrung robots and the coaches of rival programs. It will be played one night after the GoDaddy Bowl.

Judge certifies lawsuit against firm that collects delinquent bill payments
A federal judge has certified a case against a company that collects delinquent taxes for Memphis as a class-action suit.
The move could affect thousands of Memphis residents who paid 20 percent fees to Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson collection service when settling their delinquent tax accounts.
"We're glad the court certified the case and we'll have our day in court," said attorney Frank Watson, who is representing the plaintiffs in the case.
The issue in court is whether Linebarger can charge a 10 percent fee or a 20 percent fee for collecting the delinquent taxes.
Last week, U.S. Dist. Judge Samuel "Hardy" Mays Jr. certified the lawsuit as a class action.
Attorney David Cook, who is representing Linebarger, said the suit "deals with the legal interpretation of two Tennessee statutes which provide for additional charges to be levied against delinquent taxpayers" when they have to be sued for collection.
A state law says attorneys pursuing back taxes cannot receive compensation greater than 10 percent of all delinquent fees collected.
Another statute says a 10 percent penalty can be imposed on those whose taxes are delinquent, and that the penalty will go to the attorney suing to collect the back taxes.
Linebarger has interpreted that wording to allow for a total fee of 20 percent, while the plaintiffs say the two statutes limit the fees that can be charged at 10 percent.
The office of the Shelby County Attorney believes the plaintiffs are right, and that delinquent tax attorneys can only collect a 10 percent fee. In a 2010 opinion, the office said the fee is limited to a "10 percent penalty, which includes the delinquent tax attorney fee, for the prosecution of the suit ..."
Linebarger won a no-bid contract from former Memphis mayor Willie Herenton in 2004 to collect delinquent city taxes. Under the contract, the city does not pay Linebarger any direct fees. But the firm charges tardy taxpayers delinquent fees in addition to the taxes they owe.
The firm's primary target in Memphis is delinquent property taxes on homes and businesses. The debts must be 17 months past due before the city turns them over to the firm.
Meanwhile, Linebarger's contract with the city expires in December, which means the administration of Mayor A C Wharton will have to decide whether to retain the firm.

Adam Gelb
Adam Gelb
Adam Gelb directs Pew's public safety performance project, which helps states advance policies and practices in adult and juvenile sentencing and corrections that protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and control corrections costs.
As the project lead, Gelb oversees Pew's assistance to states seeking a greater public safety return on their corrections spending. He also supervises a vigorous research portfolio that highlights strategies for reducing recidivism while cutting costs. Gelb speaks frequently with the media about national trends and state innovations, and regularly advises policy makers on implementation of practical, cost-effective policies.
Gelb has been involved in crime control and prevention issues for the past 25 years as a journalist, congressional aide, and senior state government official. He began his career as a reporter at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and staffed the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee during negotiations and final passage of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. From 1995 to 2000, as policy director for the lieutenant governor of Maryland, Gelb was instrumental in developing several nationally recognized anti-crime initiatives. He served as executive director of the Georgia Sentencing Commission from 2001 to 2003. Before joining Pew, he was vice president for programs at the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse.
Gelb graduated from the University of Virginia and holds a master's degree from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.

Lyndon LaRouche was the guest on the Alex Jones Show May 21st, the focus of which is thermonuclear war--a threat which will remain on the agenda unless Barack Obama is constitutionally removed from office in the coming weeks.
Drawing heavily from our special report, "NAWAPA XXI: Water & Agriculture" goes through the amount water that will be transferred to the Southwestern U.S. and its impact on agriculture. Go to the NAWAPA XXI homepage for more details. Click here for the animated overview.
The warning issued from Moscow this week shows that the door to a thermonuclear hell is wide open if we choose to walk through it. The removal of Barack Obama from control over the United States Presidency is not a matter of an opinion, a matter of taste, of some issue.
On May 17th, Russian Prime Minister Dimitri Medvedev remarked that use of nuclear weapons within the period is a reality. This is a policy which the British Empire is pushing through President Barack Obama. Our only choice to avoid this threat is to remove Obama, constitutionally, from power. It is our only hope.
Chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff, Gen. Nikolai Makarov warned Thursday May 3rd that Russia will consider pre-emptive military strikes, if necessary, to respond to the aggressive placement of ABM systems in Europe. Lyndon LaRouche responds in his THE SHOWDOWN HAS NOW BEGUN.

by paulabowles The conference today has taken on a distinctly environmental feel. First up was Mark Macklin's (University of Wales, Aberystwyth) keynote address entitled 'Floodplain Catastrophes and Climate Change: Lessons from the Rise and Fall of Riverine Societies.' In his paper, Macklin observes that '[w]e are not the first society to face the threat of environmental catastrophe,' although he stresses that the current threat has unique features. Susan Morrison (Texas State University – San Marcos) has taken a highly interdisciplinary approach to her paper 'Waste Studies ‐ A New Paradigm for Literary Analysis, Something is Rotten in the Denmark of Beowulf and Hamlet'. By combining the disciplines of literature and waste studies, Morrison offers a reminder 'that the origins of the Anglophone literary canon are sedimented in waste'. Tim Cooper (University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus) continued this theme of waste with his paper 'Recycling Modernity: Towards an Environmental History of Waste.' By taking as a starting point the belief that 'waste was one of the characteristic products of modernity' Cooper is able to consider why this subject is so fascinating to historians and other social scientists. Before, we head into the fifth day of the conference, just a quick reminder to visit the virtual book exhibit. As a delegate, you are invited to take 20% off the price of any Wiley Book.

Pastor Denice wrote in the Newsletter of Clovis Memorial United Methodist Church, May 2010: "Second, a new pastor arriving at a new church is very similar, as one church consultant shared during a Transition Workshop, to an actor being parachuted into the second act of a play at the same moment one of the main actors has been air lifted out. S/he doesn't have a script, but the play is moving on and s/he is supposed to do her/his part! So be patient, be gracious, and be anticipatory. Put yourself in this person's shoes and before the need arises anticipate what that need might be."

SIMPLY SOLE® Leopard Bandeau Tankini Top 3 3
Great suit I ordered in 2 sizes keeping the 1 size up. Fit great. Love the color. May 19, 2014
Love this bathsuit. I ordered this top to go with bottoms I already had. Love It. Can not wait for warm weather! April 15, 2014
Great Tankini top I bought the Abstract tankini first, by the same designer 'Simply Sole' and I loved it so much I got this one too. I put them both with black bottoms to make them less matchy-matchy. I've worn this suit for months in FL, and it has washed well (cold, gentle cycle) and the fit has remained the same. I feel secure in it even without the little strap that you can attached. It never slips, love it! I'm now getting the third pattern.....I'm so in love with these tankini tops. I'm 5'7", 138-145lbs (depending on the day!) and the size 8 fits perfect. Hope this review helps. April 9, 2014

I've stayed here on every visit to Amsterdam. There were three or four of us on our visits and each time we had our own room with shower etc.. The location is fantastic and the cost cheapest around. It is no thrills, it is a Hostel. But the best hostel i've ever stayed at. Highly recommended if you're with friends... More
