Two seasoned journalists addressed approximately 1,800 graduates during commencement ceremonies Saturday at Old Dominion University's Ted Constant Convocation Center. They spoke of the changed world that the day's graduates have experienced during their college careers and the tools they would need as they get on with their post-college lives.
John McCaslin, "Inside the Beltway" columnist for The Washington Times and Chicago Tribune syndicate, reminded some 900 graduates at the morning commencement ceremony that most 2005 graduates began their studies about the time of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "I can't imagine navigating through my freshman year of college and 9/11 at the same time," he said. "How difficult it must have been for you."
The post-9/11 era, with America no longer an "invulnerable fortress," requires citizens who do not withdraw in fear, but are eager to "fill spaces," as he put it. He said this means the graduates should accept challenges and take every opportunity to expand their horizons.
When he was invited recently to travel with a Public Broadcasting System crew to the Middle East, he said, "I hesitated filling that space because I was scared." But he went and, "How glad I am today that I made the trip." Travel and experiences with other cultures are important elements of citizenship today, McCaslin said. The Washington, D.C., area, where he lives and works, is a "barricaded fortress" and many people, particularly those from the Middle East are eyed with suspicion," he said. "But thanks to that space I filled, I have a new appreciation for the Middle East and its people."
Harvard Business Review publisher Cathryn Cranston spoke to some 900 graduates Saturday afternoon of engagement, curiosity, civility and humanity as tools that would help them deal with the challenges of the early 21st Century.
"Read the paper, skeptically when necessary, " she said. "Listen to leaders, skeptically when necessary. Engage in debate. Listen and think and challenge. Vote. Engage. Engagement in the world mirrors and nurtures the imagination."
Cranston said civility and humanity might be the qualities most easily lost in the course of day-to-day life. "I'm guilty -- overbooking, multitasking, allowing myself to be enslaved by my digital devices -- cell phone, telephone, Blackberry, laptop. Many things suffer as we encourage the flood of incoming information. I'm convinced that our daily attention to civility and humanity -- at all levels -- suffers as well. Do I always say please and thank-you? If I don't, how can I expect that of my children?"
She urged students to look around at their classmates, relatives and friends. "This is your community," she said. "They are the foundation for the commitments you will make from this day forward. It is arguably the most effective, reliable, resilient network you will ever have, and you have the privilege of taking with you as you leave Old Dominion today for destinations known and unknown, may not yet revealed."
Cranston credited her own network -- a school friend, her husband, children, mother, father, siblings, aunt and uncle, friends and colleagues -- for supporting her Saturday and helping her prepare her speech. "Your network will be there for you, too. Nurture it with phone calls, letters, e-mails. It will develop deep, strong roots, flower and provide you with guidance and support as you explore your commitments."
Timothy J. Sullivan, outgoing president of the College of William and Mary, received an honorary degree during the morning commencement ceremony. Prior to his presidency, he taught law at the University of Virginia and at William and Mary, where he also served as associate dean.
G. Robert Aston Jr., chairman of the board and CEO of TowneBank, received an honorary degree during the afternoon commencement ceremony. Aston, who founded TowneBank in 1998, is a former president and current trustee for ODU's Intercollegiate Foundation.

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on February 4, 2013 at 6:02 PM.
William (Bill) McGuire, Ph.D., P.E., professor emeritus at Cornell University, passed away on January 31 at his home, surrounded by family. He was 92 years old.
McGuire had long been recognized as a structural engineering visionary. In addition to his skills as an educator, he had the reputation for looking at how technology may advance in the future and how engineers and society can prepare for it. This foresight won him ASCE's Norman Medal in 1962 (with G.P. Fisher) for an atomic power plant containment design and led him to write one of the most widely respected textbooks on steel design, Steel Structures, in 1968. In addition, it led to his innovative and groundbreaking work in computer graphics for structural engineering.
In the mid-1970s he foresaw the ability of computers to simulate more completely the behaviors of structures. Almost two decades later in 1992 this foresight was rewarded with AISC's prestigious T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award for his application of computer graphics to the structural engineering industry. In 2000 he won another of AISC's highest awards, the Geerhard Haaijer Award for Excellence in Education, for the impact his research and teaching has had on advancing the use of structural steel framing in the construction industry. He was also instrumental in the AISC Committee on Specifications through the early 1990s.
McGuire was born in Staten Island, New York. After receiving a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Bucknell University, magna cum laude, in 1942, he served in the U.S. Navy as an aircraft maintenance officer on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Fleet. Following World War II, he earned a master's in structural engineering at Cornell and was then engaged by Jackson & Moreland in Boston as a structural designer of power plants and atomic energy projects.
In 1949 he joined the faculty of Cornell University's School of Civil Engineering and was named professor emeritus after 40 years of service in 1989. During that time he also spent periods as a visiting faculty member at various universities around the world. His research, teaching and consulting interests were primarily in the area of steel structures, and he had authored or coauthored more than 40 technical and professional papers and texts as well as contributed to numerous monographs and handbooks.
McGuire's consulting work included the design of special structures and the investigation of a number of structural failures. He had a longtime involvement on behalf of Cornell in the planning, design, upgrading and maintenance of the large radio telescope structure of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, Arecibo, Puerto Rico. He was also a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an Honorary Member of ASCE.
Before his passing he had been gradually working on a video history of Cornell's Civil & Environmental Engineering Department with John F. Abel, Ph.D., P.E., professor emeritus at Cornell, in anticipation of the university's 150th anniversary in 2015. The video, including interviews with McGuire, after editing will eventually be available online on the eCommons site of the Cornell Library.
You can read more about McGuire's great contributions to the structural steel industry in the June 2000 issue of MSC. Click here for a PDF of the article.

Further TB screening offered at Llanelli school
More than two hundred pupils and almost a hundred staff will be offered screening for tuberculosis (TB) today at Ysgol y Strade school in Llanelli, as a precaution.
It follows screening last month which revealed positive test results in three pupils and a member of staff.
Experts say the risk of spreading the infection is low, and there is believed to be no ongoing risk within the school.
Sion Lingard, Chair of the Incident Control Team said:
"We are emphasising to pupils, parents and staff that it is rare for TB to be transmitted within a school environment.
"Further screening is being carried out due to the very small risk that others may have picked up the infection within the school. All those who are likely to have had some form of contact with the infectious staff member will be screened."

British Open Golf Betting Preview
Last year saw emotional scenes at Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent as likeable Northern Irishman Darren Clarke finally ended many years of personal loss and professional struggle to secure his first major by lifting the famous claret jug. His victory, achieved by three shots over American duo Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, was the highlight of an excellent championship, which also saw the likes of Dane Thomas Bjorn return to form, and American veteran Tom Watson, so nearly a winner in 2010, finish in a respectable 22nd spot.
This year, The Open Championship returns to the hallowed turf of northern England to Royal Lytham and St Annes. To a club founded in 1886 and the course that hosted the inaugural British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship just six years later. Originally designed by George Lowe, Harry Colt gave the course a revamp in 1919.
This year will see the course playing at its longest ever for an Open Championship, with the players expected to cover the 18-hole, 7086 yard course in a par of 70, negotiating the 206 bunkers that pockmark this scenic traditional links course.
The Open at Royal Lytham St.Annes
This year will be the 11th time that Royal Lytham and St. Anne has hosted the event. It was first held on the course in 1926, when American legend Bobby Jones shot 291 as an amateur to lift the first ever Royal Lytham Open Championship. There followed a 26 year wait until the course hosted the Open once again, when in 1956 South African Bobby Locke shot a one-under 287 to take the title and the grand prize of £300.
Six years later, it was the first of two New Zealander's who lifted the title at this famous course. Peter Thomson carded a 6-under par victory in 1958, and five years later Bob Charles shot a seven under 277 to take the title.
Tony Jacklin won his first major at the course in 1969, shooting a four under 280, then five years later Gary Player earned his 3rd major title when winning in 1974.
In 1979, the great Seve Ballesteros won the first of his Open Championships at Royal Lytham and he followed that up in 1988, winning his third Open title at the same course.
Americans dominated the event following the Ballesteros years, with Tom Lehman winning in 1996 and then David Duval earning £600,000 as the winner in 2001.
This year's Open Golf Championship will be the 141st time the competition has run and the lucky winner will take home a cheque for £900,000.
This Year's Contenders
Tiger Woods is currently the bookmakers hot favourite with current best odds of 10/1 with Totesport.com, though he is as short as 15/2 with some bookmakers. The American legend has returned to form this season in sparkling style, though he is yet to produce his best form consistently in the Major's so far this season. That said, Woods return to the winning circle has seen many punters backing on Tiger earning what would be an incredible 15th Major title and his first Open win since 2006 at Hoylake.
It is actually rather surprising to see how short the odds are on Tiger this year and as a result, this does mean that the betting has opened up considerably for other contenders. Lee Westwood, who is yet to break his Major championship duck but who's form in these events over the past few years has been unparalleled, is excellent value especially each way and is best priced at 14/1 with Bet365.com, while you can get similar odds for world number one, Luke Donald, who looked strong in last weekend's Scottish Open. The best price on Luke Donald is 20/1 again with Bet365.com!
Don't rule out a challenge from Ireland either, Padraig Harrington who is back in form, and Rory McIlroy who has struggled with his game of late, are both around the 18/1 mark. In addition, Graeme McDowell is an intriguing prospect at 35/1 with 888sport.com, especially considering he pushed so hard at the US Open earlier this year and is already a Major title winner.
The links nature of the course sees most bookies predicting a winner from Europe and Justin Rose (33/1), Sergio Garcia (35/1), Francesco Molinari (40/1) and Martin Kaymer (40/1) head out a strong European challenge.
Of the rest of the world bar Tiger, Phil Mickelson (33/1) and Rickie Fowler (40/1) seem to be the best backed Americans, while Australian Adam Scott (40/1) and South African's Ernie Els (40/1) and Louis Oosthuizen (50/1) look to be the best of the rest in terms of picking a winner.
Picking a winner from such a prestigious field is tough and though Tiger has his backers, we feel it is about time that English golf enjoyed a celebration and while Luke Donald may have the ranking, we think that this Open Championship may just be the one where Lee Westwood finally ends his Major championship drought.
Possible outside bets?
One of the great things about The Open is the strength of the field in depth and even outside of these more popular selections, there are many golfers who will feel they have an excellent chance if not of the win, then of achieving a top six finish.
Chief amongst these will be American trio of Jason Dufner (50/1 with BetVictor.com), Jim Furyk (50/1 again with BetVictor.com) and Dustin Johnson (best odds 60/1 with Coral). Bubba Watson is a 66/1 shot as the Floridian doesn't tend to travel well outside of America, but he has the length to really trouble the course if conditions are benign.
There will be plenty of support for Ian Poulter who is a tempting 40/1 shot, while you can get Thomas Bjorn at 100/1. Our tip though for a strong outside eachway bet is Scotsman Paul Lawrie, who will put a disappointing week at the Scottish Open behind him to make a return at the competition which first put him on the golfing map with his sensational victory at Carnoustie in 1999.
After several years in the golfing doldrums, Lawrie has enjoyed a superb campaign this year and has won the Commercialbank Qatar Masters already this year, climbing back inside the top 50 golfers in the world and he currently lies third on the European Ryder Cup standings, behind Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose.

Mid-College Crisis!
Many people might conclude, especially after reading the blog posts from this week, that the scariest part of college is finals.
I would beg to differ and say that the scariest part of college is how fast it goes by.
This semester was by far the fastest semester yet, and after talking with upperclassman it seems like each semester goes by faster than the one before it.
Right now my third semester at Clark has come to an end and I find myself in a stage that I have coined "MCC" or Mid-College Crisis.
Though it's not the exact midpoint of my college career, it's close enough, which is a scary idea in itself. At this point in time there are so many decisions to make, and as you all know from my previous posts, big life decisions are not my strong point.
Over the last few weeks I have found myself in similar conversations with over a dozen people that are also going through this "MCC."
- Should I study abroad?
- Where should I go?
- What semester should I go?
- Should I go for a whole year?
- Should I go to a different country for a semester and go to Washington, DC for a semester?
- Should I only go to Washington, DC since I've technically already studied abroad?
- Should I go to DC for the summer?
- Or Boston?
- What internships should I apply for?
- Do paid internships exist?
- Should I take a fifth class next semester?
- Should I intern for credit?
- Does that mean I need to drop some clubs so I have more time?
- Do all these classes count toward my major?
- Do any of them?
- What is my major?
- Am I sure that's what I want to do?
- What do I want to do?
- Why am I in college anyway?
As you can tell, MCC is not a made up thing. These are things that are discussed over meals all the time. Tonight at dinner when the conversation about study abroad, a million questions that I couldn't answer went through my head. We have a really great study abroad office at Clark…I've been many times before, but now the decisions are up to me. And every decision is going to affect the next one. Luckily, that's a good thing because once I make one decision other things will start to fall into place…and pretty soon all of these questions will be answered.
But until then, I have finals… but no time to complain about them because I'm trying to figure out the rest of my life. And complaining doesn't do anything, so I try to avoid it. Though I understand that it can feel cleansing.
So good luck to everyone on finals, but ALL THE BEST to the sophomores who are going through MCC. I feel ya!
* Also, I just googled the term mid-college crisis and I guess it's something that already exists…so if you want to procrastinate on finals, look it up. There's some funny stuff.
I already did my procrastinating by writing out 30 holiday cards!

Greetings, Bloody Elbowers. Long time listener, first time caller. I've been watching every UFC card for years and have even done some work for the UCC here on the east coast, but had never gotten around to checking out Strikeforce until Saturday night. Lazy, I know. The reality is that I've been a total UFC homer ever since they bought out Pride. I didn't think there was anything else worthwhile out there for me. Last night I finally decided to expand my horizons.
This puts me in the somewhat unique position of knowing the sport without knowing the fighters I'm watching. I would imagine most of you had seen King Mo, Lashley, etc fight numerous times. This was my first. I thought I'd post my reactions and hopefully get some feedback from you guys as to their accuracy.
First of all, the packaging needs some serious work. The entrances are unfortunate and the commentators are second rate. Rogan really puts a clown suit on those guys. And that Luke Rockhold interview was painful. This stuff is all beside the point, but the fact is I felt like I was watching something from the mid 90s. And none of it should be that hard to fix. Just be professional and find a few people who can talk. I guess maybe that's harder than it seems. The UFC really got pretty lucky with Rogan.
Bobby Lashley vs That dude with the sideburns- Whoever is training Lashley should be hanging their heads in shame right now. That guy is as one-dimensional as they come. I know thats to be expected to some extent, but there is no reason Lashley couldn't have picked up some semblance of a submission game by now. I was shocked to see an athlete like that putting on such a mediocre performance. I would love to see some footage of his training camp. Are they working on anything else? Is Lashley just too stupid or lazy to improve his game?
The coolest part of this fight for me was hearing Griggs signed a 4-fight deal with Strikeforce immediately afterwards. Nice to see a guy like that cash in. Fireman, paramedic, hadn't fought in a while. He looked like he had some decent skills, too. Maybe he wins another fight or two and gains some relevancy.
Jorge "Muppet" Gurgel vs KJ Noons- I'd read you guys mocking Gurgel for refusing to use his jiu-jitsu, but I guess I didn't really recognize the extent of what was going on here. Yikes. For him to stand with a striker of Noons' caliber is just idiocy. I heard Frank Shamrock saying Gurgel "wants to have fun", and then acting like that was somehow admirable. What, trying to match your strength against someone else's strength isn't fun? I thought that was what MMA was all about?
Gurgel's cornermen should've thrown in the towel after that late shot. A nasty knockout at the beginning of round 2 was a foregone conclusion at that point. At the very least they should've told Gurgel to take the fight to the mat at all costs. It is irresposible and dangerous to let a delusional fighter walk into surefire head trauma like that. Reality check time for the Gurgel camp.
As for Noons, I was impressed. I know he did some shady things, but I'll look past that for hands like those*. Pretty, pretty punches. I'd love to see Noons and Dan Hardy throw some leather.
I think I could jack off to that.
*Great hands on a fighter is the equivalent of huge breasts on a woman for me. Having that one thing makes me willing to overlook some pretty serious flaws in the total package.
Tim Kennedy and his huge calves vs Jacare Souza- I'm gonna open myself up to criticism here and say that this was maybe the most boring fight I've seen this year. I'm laying the blame mostly on Tim Kennedy. I came away disliking him. For one thing, his stance was ridiculous. And I don't see how this guy could ever finish a fight. Is he really a top contender? I didn't see anything noteworthy in his game other than possibly takedown defense.
His attitude was also pretty lame. Trying to pump up the crowd in the midst of a snoozer like that was wack. Looks like this guy's got Rich Franklin Disease: thinks his fights are way more exciting than they actually are. Afterwards he was complaining about the decision and was like, "I mean, I kept one of the best grapplers in the world from taking me down, so..." like he thought takedown defense should be enough to win him the fight. I really didn't like this guy.
Jacare is someone I'd be interested in watching again. He seems to have a pretty good skill set. He's obviously got some power, and you gotta think training with Anderson Silva, Junior Dos Santos and Lyoto Machida will be good for his standup development. I assume he's got great BJJ based on how much the announcers talked about it. Yes, I am interested in watching Jacare defend that belt. Who will he fight next? Is Dan Henderson fighting at middleweight in Strikeforce? The announcers acted like they had a lot of great middleweights, but a guy like Kennedy being in title contention makes that seem unlikely.
King Mo vs Feijao- Obviously this was the fight I really wanted to see, given how infamous King Mo is in the MMA world. The first thing I noticed is he should definitely be fighting at middleweight. I mean thats just obvious. And a wrestler of his pedigree shouldn't have any problem with the weight cut. So yeah, middlewight.
I'm assuming this was a bad night for him, because I really didn't come away impressed at all. I liked seeing those body shots, but he was leaning on them pretty heavily for a while there. Body shots can't become that predictable. This vicious ground-and-pound I'd heard so much about was nowhere to be seen. Like I said, I'm assuming this was a bad night for him. I need to see him fight again before I judge his game.
Really liked Feijao though. I'd like to see him in the UFC (is that lame to say?). His takedown defense was stellar, and I was very impressed with the standup. It was cool to see a guy built like that executing muay thai. Muay thai seems to be employed mainly by the tall skinny guys these days, so it was nice to see someone with some power utilize that style. I loved the way he spun out of standing back control, too. If one of those elbows had hit flush (which they very nearly did), it could've been game over. Feijao looked to me like a guy coming into his own as a fighter.
All right gang, thats all I got. This is clearly a group that knows its MMA, so I'm interested in any feedback you guys might have.

MAHWAH, N.J. (AP) — Police in northern New Jersey are trying to identify a man who was found wandering naked through the woods.
The man was taken to a hospital for evaluation because he couldn't provide any information on his identity.
Mahwah Police Chief James Batelli tells The Star-Ledger of Newark (http://bit.ly/OdtDcI ) officers found the man off Route 202 unclothed and covered in mud on Sunday.
Batelli says the man had no signs of head trauma or injuries that could have caused memory loss.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been relatively quiet about free agency, but signed another player late on Monday night. The Jaguars agreed to a three-year contract with former New York Giants cornerback Aaron Ross, according to a report by Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Jacksonville reached agreement with former Giants CB Aaron Ross on a three-year deal worth up to $15.3 million.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 20, 2012
Ross was originally drafted by the New York Giants in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft, starting most of the games his first two seasons. Ross dealt with injuries after that, limiting his play, but returned to his starting roll in 2011 after Terrell Thomas went down with an injury. The thought is that Ross will compete with both Derek Cox and Rashean Mathis, who the Jaguars re-signed, in training camp.
For more on the signing, be sure to check out Jaguars blog Big Cat Country.

Haven't done a Hollywood & Crime post in a little while. Here's the first of 2012 :)
Keshia Knight Pulliam (remember cute little Rudy from the Cosby Show; she's all grown up now) has been sued by her former talent agency (Green & Associates) for allegedly not paying them their agreed-upon 10% commission from all the work she did on Tyler Perry's House Of Payne.
You know, I didn't even realize she was on that show; then again, I don't watch it.
The suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, and THR got a copy of it. The agency claims they got the role for Pulliam during the time the represented her from 2007 to 2010 - a term that included her stint on House Of Payne.
She reportedly made between $7,500 and $20,000 per episode, and given that Perry's shows shoot more episodes per season than a standard network series (up to 50 episodes per season), she would have collected a nice chunk of change there, and they want their 10% cut - or, as the filing claims, more than $100,000 in unpaid commissions, and $250,000 in future commissions.
Pulliam fired Green & Associates via email in July 2011, to join rival agency APA - so says the court filing - and they've since beeng trying to get Pulliam to pay up what she owes them, leading up to this lawsuit.
No response from the actress yet.
Let's get ready to rumble...

Those numbers are actually very believable. Folks get paid ridiculous money to act in these shows and remember, Keisha still has the "former Cosby kid" label to get that extra $$$ in her contract.
LeonRaymond | March 2, 2012 12:23 PM
Question -do you really think she has worked that much to have amassed that amount of commission's owed. I think she is a real struggling actor, we see only the floss that she wants to get out there to make it look like she is in demand and working a lot but I have not seen her named attached to almost nothing. I am not saying this is right or wrong but asking is she that much in the actor workspace, S&A readers will known much better than I and inform me. Sad to hear cause it is reality of this industry!!

That's what happens when you swap Obi-Wan Kenobi (Bill Cosby) for Emperor Palpacoon -- er, Palpatine.

This is a common story. Actors like to convince themselves that they alone are responsible for booking their jobs, and try to cut their former representatives out of the money they're owed. People, you owe the agents who got*you the series regular role money for the life of the series or until you renegotiate; that doesn't change, no matter where you go from there. * I put the asterisk next to "got" because even if the role was a straight offer, your agents negotiated the terms of the deal (getting you more money, better position in the credits, &various other perks).

NEW YORK (AP) -- The MTA says riders will now be able to fill their MetroCards with both unlimited-ride time and pay-per-ride dollars.
The change will allow New Yorkers to avoid a $1 fee on new card purchases, which will begin March 3.
The New York Times says the change will especially help riders who carry unlimited MetroCards but also take express buses or PATH trains.
Interim Executive Director Thomas F. Prendergast calls it "the most flexible MetroCard ever offered."

Take a look back at this week's biggest headlines through the words of people who made it happen:
"Our concern was that public input would come after the die was cast." - Sid Bail, vice president, Wading River Civic Association.
- after it became clear to them that a "public workshop" - open to anyone who wished to attend - would not be held for a Route 25A corridor study in Wading River. On Thursday, hired planner Frank Fish, of BFJ Planning, , to be held on Feb. 4.
"You can't fight Mother Nature" - Ann Marie Borghese of n Cutchogue.
- As Mother Nature continues to hold off the snow on Long Island (knock on wood) and even more, throw in the occasional 50-degree-day, vines - as well as humans - might be confused that it's spring. .
"It's something that is part of what we do, and we just can't turn away from it because it's become complicated and difficult." - Barry Barth, owner, .
- On the heels of two deadly incidents on Long Island in 2011 and days after County Executive Steve Bellone held a press conference as a result, for holding narcotic-based pain medications.
"I'm not so sure that towns should be in the energy business." - Supervisor Sean Walter.
- Following a long discussion at Thursday's work session over the viability of a 270-foot windmill on the town's sewer district property, that the turbine - estimated to cost the town anywhere from $1.8 million to $2.5 million to build - would be a worthy investment for the Town of Riverhead.
"DEC takes this responsibility very seriously, and has historically taken a more conservative approach to pesticide registration on Long Island than in the rest of the state." - Department of Environmental Conservation
- Over 20 environmental groups held a press conference this week to call for an outright ban - a "zero tolerance" policy - on three pesticides . Farmers said any regulation should wait until the data is analyzed and suggestions are made by an advisory committee on how to move forward.

When we arrived at Colonial, they upgraded us to the hotel next door; Majestic Elegance. We were then able to use restaurant, swimmingpools and bars in both hotels. Our stay was for ten days and we had a lovely stay. The staff was fantastic, the food in the restaurants and buffet was great. Everyone were trying to give us the best vacation. The beach was amazing and the pool areas too. However if you want a sunbed you had to be up really early. It says at the hotel that there is not allowed to reserve sunbeds but nobody care. We saw people leaving their towels on the beds when they were leaving their beds in the afternoon. And if you want a bed you had to be on the beach before 7.30 even then it was just a couple of beds left. But except from that, this hotel was amazing it was a perfect place for our honeymoon."
Svært tiltalende hotell-kompleks med flotte rom med fin utsikt til hageanlegg eller basengområde.Hyggelig og hjelpsom betjening, og svært godt renhold av rommet.Gog mat og drikke på områdets restauranter og bassengbarer."
Bortsett fra at vi var delvis uheldig med været så var dette det beste allinclusive hotellet vi har noen gang besøkt! Svært oppmerksomme og vennlig betjening . Fantastisk variert og god, delikat mat. Flotte bassenger og herlig strand men store bølger. Fin ferie !"
On arrival we got a premium delux room. This was horible, smal and without a window. Changed room to one with a balcony, it was noisely and in a need for demolition. We upgraded the to last days for the presidential suite and this one was realy nice.The staff si excelent, some tips is needen..."
Vi fikk et av de ikke renoverte rommene, det var greit frem til vi så de nye. Rommet vårt lå rett ved der de hadde underholdning og det var mye bråk på kveldene. Dra til sosua en dag eller mer, bedre strand og vann masse kafeer og små butikker. Der er det nesten ikke selgere heller :) ellers god service og hyggelig staff."

An itemized trading plan or agenda to begin forex trading is the best reaction you can have.
Whenever you spot a possible trade set-up, calculate the risk/reward, review your support and resistances levels, check your indicators, read the chart, decide if you would enter an extended or short-term trade. If all signals align and you feel comfortable placing the trade - then write down the entry price and stop-loss and place the transaction.
Some might think why should I jot down my entries and stops? Well, studies have shown that individuals who write down their goals accomplish more in life than those who mentally set their goals. Exactly the same occur in trading. From general observations - whenever a trade was not going well, I would mentally move the stop loss. Whereas when I wrote my stop-loss in writing as well as on my order, it had been executed. This helps build and keep trading discipline. FYI - I use a yellow legal pad to write my trading entries. Studies have shown the color yellow promotes better thinking. Only a thought.
Be careful about your trade closely, if necessary tighten the stop or take profits. If the marketplace is going the right path as well as your trade makes new highs, keep the position. You might decide to supplment your winning trade.
Daytrading is great! You are able to trade forex everywhere. To trade forex live, you need to conserve a positive mind and attitude. Let's review several things you might have not considered which can help you stick to your software system.
Concentration - make sure your trading space or office is private and quiet. Office - preferably with a window to allow for sun light which is easier on the eyes. Desk - should be neat free from clutter. You simply need your trading pad. Do not answer the phone - which goes for email, cell phone, chat, etc. Do not leave trades without your stops.
The important thing to accumulating profits is to protect your trading capital all the time. Make sure your stops are always in. When trading don't over leverage, use small positions. Never trade with money you can't manage to lose. After your trading day, review your charts and plan for the following day.
Another points to consider is joining a forex trading room, chatting with other traders, and/or follow a skilled forex coach who can provide you with some strategies.

Consequences? The same as what is happening now: women barefoot and pregnant, farmers growing opium and Afghans fighting it out and making deals with each other.
LAST week George Packer had some notes on the Vietnam-war reading-list underlying the strategic arguments between the White House and the Pentagon over Afghanistan. Yesterday one of the writers Mr Packer mentioned, Lewis Sorley, had an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal making the case, yet again, that America won the war in Vietnam, presumably with the implication that winning Afghanistan should be a cinch, too. It is tedious to have repeat oneself, but since Mr Sorley keeps repeating himself, there is no alternative, so here goes: Lewis Sorley is wrong. America and South Vietnam did not win the Vietnam war. We lost. We lost on any relevant metric you want to impose. We picked the wrong side (the French), and then we fought badly, and then we fought a bit better, but not well enough to win. We just plain lost the war. We should never have fought it. And the constant right-wing carping, decade after decade, that no, really, we actually could have won in Vietnam, if only those darned Democratic politicians hadn't stabbed us in the back at the last minute, is both factually incorrect and poisonous to America's ability to learn the lessons of history and to behave like a grown-up nation.
Like Mr Packer, I got a gracious note from Mr Sorley a few years ago and an (electronic, in my case) edition of his book "A Better War", about General Creighton Abrams and counterinsurgency in Vietnam. Unlike Mr Packer, I found it a very limited book. It relies heavily on Mr Sorley's access to Mr Abrams's tapes and records of command meetings, and hence, unsurprisingly, it presents Mr Abrams's strategy as brilliant and successful. It was a good book with reference to the internal dynamics of the American military command in the period, but it didn't have the depth of material about what was going on outside American headquarters, in Vietnamese society and on Vietnamese ground, to make the claims it made. I particularly recall the opening line of one of the book's later chapters: "There came a time when the war was won." Well, yeah. 1975, when North Vietnamese tanks rolled into Saigon.
Mr Sorley's line, however, refers to the year 1970, when Viet Cong guerrilla activity had fallen to an extremely low level and Americans found themselves free to travel to areas of the countryside that had previously been off-limits. (That Mr Sorley identifies the ability of American soldiers to travel freely with "winning the war" is revealing.) Mr Sorley's argument is that to the extent that the Vietnam War was a "people's war" in the South, the Communist insurgency was defeated after the failed Tet offensive through intelligent counterinsurgency techniques; the South ultimately lost not to a people's war, but to a regular invasion by North Vietnamese main forces. Here is one way to express the problem with Mr Sorley's thesis: a year after he contends "the war was won", the South Vietnamese army (ARVN) attempted to strike into Laos to cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail that was resupplying North Vietnamese army (NVA) forces still stationed inside southern territory. The South Vietnamese were annihilated, in part because their command structure remained riddled with Communist sympathisers who had given away the timing of the operation, and in part because South Vietnamese commanders who derived political power from the strength of their units declined to risk their troops to rescue rival commanders. (For more on this, a recommendation for the Pentagon's reading list: Andrew Wiest's "Vietnam's Forgotten Army".) Some South Vietnamese units fought bravely. For their trouble, they ended up dead, or incarcerated as POWs in the North. After three years of American "Vietnamisation" of the war, and despite being furnished by their American patrons with one of the world's largest and best-equipped armies and air forces, the ARVN remained unable to clear its own territory of NVA units or to mount a credible attack against their supply lines. The South Vietnamese government remained weak, corrupt, factionalised, and essentially fictive, and you cannot have a real army without a real government.
More importantly, the South Vietnamese government was a fictive, corrupt shell not because America had not given it enough aid, but in part because we had given it too much. Mr Sorley is generally weakest of all when he writes about the South Vietnamese government; in his Wall Street Journal op-ed he claims that Nguyen Van Thieu, South Vietnam's last in a long line of scheming generals-turned-weak-dictators,
took the courageous step of organizing and arming a People's Self-Defense Force to back up localized defense forces that defended their home provinces. Thieu's own view, validated by the results, was that "the government had to rest upon the support of the people, and it had little validity if it did not dare to arm them."
This is an interesting view for someone who stole the 1967 election with widespread ballot-stuffing and then threw one of his rivals into jail for accusing him of it, who bought the votes of representatives on the floor of parliament for anywhere from $350 to $1800 a pop, who repeatedly refused to send his most loyal divisions into combat against the NVA because he needed them in case of a coup by his own generals, and who ultimately fled the country with its entire gold reserves stuffed into his suitcases, leaving his braver subordinates to face the NVA tanks. The words Mr Sorley ascribes to Mr Thieu were clearly placed in his mouth by American COIN proponents, and for Mr Sorley to pretend that they represent Mr Thieu's own views is poor history.
As Mr Packer writes, Afghanistan is not Vietnam, despite the similarities. But the American war-fighting and state-building efforts in Afghanistan greatly resemble those in Vietnam, and reading books about the Vietnam experience can teach you a lot about how American policymakers respond to these kinds of situations. As Mr Packer and the Wall Street Journal note, the current hot book on the White House side is Gordon Goldstein's "Lessons in Disaster", about why McGeorge Bundy, LBJ's National Security Adviser, embraced and ultimately abandoned a hawkish stance on Vietnam. I haven't read that book, but the conclusion that American senior advisers relied on a blinkered, Moscow-centric view of the world that blinded them to the complexities of the nationalist struggle going on in Vietnam has been familiar since "The Best and the Brightest".
A few months ago, I spent a couple of days with a former NVA colonel who spent the entire war stationed with his unit in the heart of South Vietnam (which itself says something about to what degree the war was "won" in 1970). He's now a military historian, well versed in the evolution of American and South Vietnamese COIN and pacification strategies. Here's what's interesting: he recognised that the strategy had changed under Creighton Abrams from 1968 onwards, as Mr Sorley writes. But he didn't think it had changed that much. He viewed it as part of a continuum of pacification efforts that had begun in the late 1950s under President Ngo Dinh Diem and Edward Lansdale, an American adviser. From his point of view, the other side had tried pacification for almost 20 years, and while it was sometimes done better and sometimes worse, and things did get pretty tough for the Communists in 1969-70 or so, pacification never really worked.
If I had one book on Vietnam I would recommend to American policymakers, inside and outside the Pentagon and White House, it would be David Elliott's magisterial "The Vietnamese War: Revolution and Social Change in the Mekong Delta, 1930-75". The book is 2 volumes and 1,400 pages long. (The paperback "concise version" is 430 pages.) It presents the war in a single province from every angle, including peasants, Viet Cong, NVA, South Vietnamese government and military, and American military and aid workers. Most importantly, it reminds us that the Vietnam war did not start when America interceded. One reason people in the Pentagon like Mr Sorley's "A Better War" is that the strategy it discusses was implemented over three to five years, the kind of discrete time frame that military planners can contemplate. Their enemy didn't think in that kind of time frame. Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese Communist Party started laying the groundwork for their strategy in the Vietnamese countryside in the late 1920s.
Counterinsurgency in Vietnam undoubtedly worked better than the search-and-destroy main-force tactics employed from 1965-68, but there was no plausible way that three years of COIN could prove decisive in a 40-years' war. Similarly, the "surge" in Iraq clearly was more effective than whatever lackadaisical and confused strategy America was pursuing from 2003 to 2007, but the ultimate achievement has been to provide a window for America to withdraw, hand over government to an Iraqi factional strongman, and hope for the best; there was no way that two years of COIN could hope to resolve problems that date back to the 1970s or, viewed another way, to the beginnings of the Iraqi state. The war in Afghanistan did not begin in late 2001; it began at least 30 years ago, in 1979. America's strategy for winning such a war would have to be similarly farsighted, and the question Mr Obama is facing is whether America is really interested in devoting itself to such an exhausting, expensive and unlikely goal.

Famous as :Rapper
Birth Name :Webster Gradney, Jr.
Birth Date :September 06, 1985
Birth Place :Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA
Spouse :La'Tondra Mays (since 2005)
Claim to fame :Album "Savage Life" (2005)
Webbie's childhood was particularly hard for he was raised in a tough part of Baton Rouge, Lousiana. He was born Webster Gradney, Jr. on September 6, 1985 and reared in Rough Sherwood where its crime rate was ranked the second highest in the nation. "It's real gutta," he recalled. "But it's nice if you mind your own business. When I'm gone for too long, I be missin' it. That's where I'm from, that's home." When he moved to Glen Oaks few years later, it was not much a change for the area was also still considered 'harsh' for young kids. Gradney however, was keen on developing his artistic side that is by starting to rap at the age of five. He had a cousin from California who taught him how and introduced him to many "gangsta" rappers who had set a name out there like Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, Eazy E, UGK and many more. Apt to his life condition, Gradney relates his personal issues being brought up in the tough part of the world to his music. Unfortunately his mother Jocelyn who brought the music influence to him at the first place gave up her life to cancer when he was only 8 years old. He would later recalled that his mother liked to dance to her favorite tunes and somehow introduced him to the kind of life with music. Gradney moved on with his life, juggling his time between rapping and school.

Parma Firefighters were called to a house on Bertha Avenue just before 4 a.m. Saturday morning.
Crews were able to contain the fire to a first floor bedroom.
No one was home at the time of the fire, but there were four dogs in the house. All of them survived.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but firefighters report that the home had been heating using space heaters after the gas was shut off to the house weeks ago.
Eighteen firefighters from Parma along with five from Parma Heights responded. Damage was estimated at around $20,000.
One firefighter sustained minor injuries.

New ADA-compliant ramp for Graydon Pool approved by Ridgewood Council
Two years of discussing and dissecting designs for an ADA-compliant ramp at Graydon Pool culminated Wednesday night with a 3-2 vote for an option that some village officials consider the best alternative, and a legal and moral imperative for Ridgewood.
Opponents of the particular design, including council members Tom Riche and Bernadette Walsh, claimed the ramp will detract from the historical sandy-bottomed pool's aesthetics, among other arguments.
Known as Option 1, the approved ramp design received Mayor Paul Aronsohn's endorsement because it seemingly required the smallest amount of concrete and was the least conspicuous of all the options. The Ridgewood Engineering Department presented a number of designs earlier this fall, and the council trimmed the options to two leading up to this week's meeting.
Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli offered his support for Option 1 after hosting an informal meeting with a handful of residents, members of the Preserve Graydon Coalition and other compliance and engineering experts. The meeting was a learning experience for Pucciarelli, who said he was advised of other areas at the Graydon facility, such as restrooms, that did not meet ADA regulations.
"I think the ADA ramp is the start of ADA improvements to the pool," the deputy mayor said. "This is the start, not the end of our ADA activities at the pool and other facilities. This should not be construed as the last that we'll ever hear about accessibility at Graydon."
Walsh and Riche emphasized their support for accessibility at the municipal swimming pool; however, both said Option 1 is flawed.
A frequent visitor to the pool, Walsh said the ramp, as designed, will lead users directly into Graydon's deep end. Though the water level at ramp's end will rise approximately 27 inches, Walsh said greater depths are mere footsteps away.
"They will be in what's considered the deep end of Graydon, and they will be required to pass a deep water test to go in further from the ramp," Walsh said. "Many may be able to pass that test, but there will be a large percentage of children who won't be able to use the ramp if they have disabilities."
Walsh said she would have been in favor of Option 3, a more expensive but safer design. Riche, on the other hand, said neither design struck him as perfect.
"I think that there is a solution for accessibility at Graydon. I don't think this is the answer. I don't think that we've reached that point where we have an all-inclusive ramp or access," said Riche, who has spoken against Option 1 since its inception.
The councilman's main objection to the ramp is its proximity to one of the pool's spillways, areas that collect debris from the surface of the water. Tree branches, adhesive bandages and other trash items are often retrieved from the spillways.
"As I've said from the beginning, putting anything into the spillway, which is nothing but a slime collection pit for all of the debris, is a big mistake," Riche said.
Riche added that the village's out-of-pocket expense for the ramp is not prudent, particularly "in a time of fiscal restraint."
Ridgewood received a Community Development Block Grant to offset $55,000 of the ramp's cost. The village has appropriated $40,000 of its own money to fund the remainder of the project.
Village officials have not determined a construction timetable, but they are hopeful the ramp will be installed by the start of next year's swimming season.

STEVE SZKOTAKAssociated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Police say early indications are that the son of a state senator in Virginia stabbed his father before shooting himself to death.
Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corrine Geller said Tuesday afternoon at a news conference that authorities are still investigating the stabbing of Sen. Creigh Deeds, but it appears it was an attempted murder and suicide.
Deeds' 24-year-old son, Gus, died at the home of a gunshot wound. Geller says the senator and his son were the only people at the home Tuesday morning.
A hospital spokeswoman says Deeds' condition has improved to fair. He was previously listed in critical.
The 55-year-old Deeds has been in the state Senate since 2001. He also ran for attorney general and governor, losing both times to current Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Deeds, a former Bath County prosecutor, was elected to the House of Delegates in 1991 and to the state Senate in 2001, in a special election after the death of Emily Couric. He ran for attorney general in 2005, but lost to Republican Bob McDonnell. The margin of victory was fewer than 400 votes out of nearly 2 million cast.
Deeds and McDonnell squared off again in 2009 in the race for governor after Deeds defeated Terry McAuliffe and Brian Moran in the Democratic Party. But Deeds lost badly that time.
Deeds, a rural Democrat who drafted a constitutional amendment guaranteeing Virginians' right to hunt, long enjoyed support from the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights advocates.
Deeds and his wife, Pam, divorced shortly after the 2009 campaign.

Not being one to allow too many unfinished projects to deter me from beginning another, I found this 240 Utility loader (1961) at a really good price and bought it. Needs rear tires, and power steering needs work. Loader hydraulics work well . . . I believe it's a Wagner loader. My plan is to make it a user tractor while the other project tractor is being finished. But thought I'd strip and paint a part now and then . . . what"s the harm?
It appears as if it"s yellow paint was applied over an original Farmall red base at some time in it's lifetime. Does anyone know the IH color code for the "International Yellow", if that"s what it"s called? Thought it would look nice with 901 trim. I'd appreciate hearing any experience with one of these.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSLawsuits Filed Over Gun Legislation
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: May. 24, 2014 10:37 PM EDT
Updated: May. 24, 2014 11:19 PM EDT
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Sean Delancey) -- Controversy over a gun law passed by the Legislature continued Saturday.
The Citizens Defense League and the city of Charleston have filed lawsuits against each another, because of one part of the law that allows concealed weapons on municipal property.
The law continues to be a hot button issue for city leaders.
They're concerned because guns are now allowed into recreation centers where kids are often around.
According to court documents, the city of Charleston filed suit against the Citizens Defense League, in order to have the court clarify discrepancies in law the city says arose after the Legislature passed the bill allowing people to have concealed firearms on municipal property.
The Citizens Defense League returned fire, suing the city.
The League's president, Keith Morgan, said the suit is a desperate effort by the city.
"The fact that they are suing us over a state law strikes me as completely ludicrous and frivolous and a waste of the tax payer's money," Morgan said.
The city was not able to comment on the lawsuit Saturday, only saying that it hopes this will clarify the law for everyone.

From my friend Jay, who was nice enough to pass along a few words on Muschamp last night before this news was finalized.
He runs a solid 4-3. He uses the defensive ends and linebackers aggressively. He loves to blitz. He had ends Quentin Groves and Antonio Coleman do most of the dirty work for him this year. His numbers are incredible.
Heading into the Chick-Fil-A Bowl Auburn led the SEC in scoring defense and was sixth nationally. He was second in the conference in total defense.
During his two seasons at Auburn he's held 21 of 26 opponents to 20 points or less. He's the real deal.

I noticed the following two articles/mailbags in the past two days, with one common theme: people in Charlottesville really, really hate sex crimes involving minors.
Stewart, thank you for writing "Failings of Penn State officials exposed at Jerry Sandusky trial". I can only tolerate about 10 percent of the coverage of this trial because it is so tragic. But it is also completely infuriating to see how much of the power structure at Penn State seems to have looked away so that they wouldn't tarnish their football program. Disgusting. Do you believe this could lead to any kind of a penalty against the entire football program? I mean, if you are willing to terminate SMU football for paying players, what about a program that purposefully protected a devious and dangerous monster?
--Thomas, Charlottesville, Va.
I actually kind of liked Mandel's response.
Here's the relevant quote:
One thing we have learned from watching universities in the past year is this: When a university president fails to report a pedophile football coach, it's a good reason to fire him.
This inspired a quick e-mail to author in which I wrote:
When a university president fails to report a pedophile former football coach.
I'm sure as someone who studies and teaches in the rigorous field of media studies, you appreciate accuracy and abhor laziness. Otherwise a very cute non-sequitur.
He responded with "Thanks. Yes." but (surprise!) has not corrected the article.
Media studies, indeed.

Gary Sheffield retires from baseball
There's some talk in here about Sheffield's HoF ambitions. Wanted to see what some of you thought. I've always liked him as a player. Career slash: 292/393/514. wOBA of .392. He's got the counting numbers. His defense wasn't good, but his UZR is all over the place. I wish we had UZR on his Marlins years because I think in his prime he was an average fielder.

Jay Feaster may not be able to confirm or deny Sarich's request to be traded but Sarich's camp came out with a firm denial. Illustrating a frustration with not playing and stating that he "wants to be out there." Rhett Warrener of Sportsnet has a bit of egg on his face at this moment, as the source of this leaked "trade request". Silly mainstream media, back and forth on these rumors. Where does this stuff come from, someone on the grassy knoll in their underwear and it certainly isn't us. Wasn't Feaster a blogger with the Hockey News before he was hired by the Flames. ; )

Heres a couple of short, but sweet gems that I found out on the web today. Enjoy fellow Norsemen. One is a blurb on SI about Mercy Percy Harvin. Seems like he may make our offense a real "treat" for opposing d-coordinators to scheme against.
The other was tasty as German cholcolate cake (to me anyway). SI sights "who busted up the dynasty" & the '68 Vikings are listed as the team that dumped the Peckers from glory. Eat my shorts Peckers! If you couple this win in week 2 of 1968 with that blasting in the playoffs by Pepp, Moss & Crew you have alot of stuff to brag about when Pecker fans show up.
Hope these links work for everyone. If not, just go to CNN/SI & head to the NFL page. Skol! have a great weekend everybody.

I was a big supporter of Avery Johnson in nearly every facet of this playing and coaching career, but there's no denying he has made some crucial mistakes in this young season with this Brooklyn Nets team. A lot of the players are not meeting expectations, but I think a large part of that has to do with the position he puts them in.
1) Play Mirza Teletovic at Small Forward
- There was a lot of hype around his signing, and rightfully so, but Avery Johnson has not used him at all to his strengths.
HE CANNOT REBOUND. HE CANNOT DEFEND ELITE BIG MEN. This is clear, but what he can do is score. His three point touch has been off, but that's because he has not been given a chance to get into the flow of the game. Avery Johnson just looks at his height and throws him in as a random big off the bench. That's not productive for anyone.
He was a playmaker with the ball in his hands in Europe, which is why he had success there. Now, he needs to earn the right to have that role with the Nets, but I think if they play him at SF he'll get much more scoring opportunities, both shooting and driving. The argument against this is that he will get massacred by LeBron James and Kevin Durant, but outside of those two, I don't think it will be that much of a matchup issue against SFs throughout the league, and it's not even like he's playing big minutes where he would have to deal with them much anyway.
Give this a shot, because this simple move could be an extra 10 points per game.
2) Give Kris Humphries Some More Time at Center
- Remember some of the physical bouts he had with Tyson Chandler and Pau Gasol last year? I think you can get that out of him by having him be the 5 with some rotations. We saw that in the Milwaukee game a bit already.
I do not agree with his benching at all, but I think this is one way to make the most out of his energy.
3) Give MarShon Brooks A Shot At The 6th Man Role
- Another one of Avery's weird tendencies has been playing either Deron or Joe the entire first quarter. Bring Brooks in for one of them at around the 4 minute mark and let him play with the other elite guard. I'd actually like to see a Brooks and Johnson backcourt finish off the first quarter.
Brooks was in the dog house last season, but not at the level he is this year. It's time to give him an opportunity to prove himself again, and if you're not sold on him after that, giving him a spotlight might help his trade value.
4) Don't run so much offense through Brook.
- Brook Lopez may be the best back to the basket center in the league, but you're hurting his growth by limiting him to post plays. You're also hurting the other four guys on the court who have to sit and watch while he goes through his elongated motion.
Give him an opportunity to develop a 12 foot jump shot. Make him go after rebounds for touches. Mix it up a little bit, because this is starting to get stagnant and easy to defend.
5) Tell Stackhouse To Keep Shooting
- He has looked Ray Allen-esque at times from beyond the arc this season, and the Nets need him to continue to do that. Last year the team excelled when they utilized Williams, Farmar, Brooks and Morrow's three point prowess. Stackhouse is the only guy consistently hitting that shot so he needs to be aggressive as possible when those opportunities do arise.
These are some small things, but I think they will instantly upgrade this struggling Nets team.
