A new Tibet expedition just released! Prevent the awakening of the army of Fate and retrieve the Staff of Command.
You'll need to use one Adventure Society Intern in this map.
The first release of a 99 damage tool is active, you can buy a 99 Whip for 1500 cash. We suppose more 99 tools will become available in similar promotions in the coming days.
It doesn't seem a free release is coming soon, but things can change in the future, for now paying cash is the only method to obtain a 99 Whip.
A new challenge has just released in Adventure World. This time we have to defeat many scorpions to get the prizes, the prizes as always from now on are the special chests that might contain upgrades for our tools or super bear trap gadgets
The maps below are probably the best maps to complete this challenge, many maps have a great number of scorpions, but mostly desert maps are the best, the list doesn't have all maps with scorpions, just the ones we feel are better to do the challenge. The ones in the first list are maps that mostly only have scorpions as foes, the second list contains maps with a great amount of scorpions but also other enemies and obstacles that might end up costing more energy than it is worth:
Hi adventurers! Still playing the last map? that is sure a huge challenge, but at least in my opinion it is one of the best maps released so far, and the reward is very good, an energy vitamin every time it is repeated can make a big boost in the end.
As the enemy is back, and this time doubled, we sure will venture in even more intricate adventures to defeat the two. Possibly soon returning to Tibet and making a true voyage through the world in the next series, with maps in mostly all locations we visited already, the future is again not so clear, but be prepared to make many important choices in the future maps.
The next challenge should be for killing Scorpions, we'll be sure to confirm as soon as it is live, stay tuned for an Idol release as there are many that should be coming . For now take a look at past week releases:
Week Releases:
Upcoming Features:
We talked about the Idol of Wisdom early this week, this should be the final art for it, it will give 3 Tibet Glyphs every 3 Days.
Another item similar to artifacts has appeared in the code, but this time I'm not sure it will be "free" to collect, from the image we can only suppose it will give Energy Vitamins, but we are not sure exactly because it is still missing a text description, more as we find about it.

The Supreme Court's decision on Monday to uphold part of Arizona's anti-illegal immigration law was criticized in El Paso by immigrant-rights activists and some community leaders.
The Supreme Court knocked down portions of the law but upheld a provision requiring Arizona law-enforcement officers to check the immigration status of crime suspects if there is reasonable suspicion the person is in the country illegally.
Members of the local Border Network for Human Rights have marched in El Paso, Austin and other cities against Arizona Senate Bill 1070 since it was signed into law in 2010.
The immigrant-rights group in a statement compared the so-called "show me your papers" provision to Nazi Germany, calling it a law intended to strike fear in immigrant communities.
"By issuing this decision, the Supreme Court has validated the anti-immigrant sentiments of ideologues," Fernando Garcia, the network's executive director said in a statement.
"The court left standing the provision that is built completely on fear and anti-Latino sentiment," Garcia said. "It's very unfortunate that the court did not consider, and that the Obama administration did not present this law in the context of racial profiling what is right for the U.S. This decision is on the wrong side of history."
The Arizona law's supporters have said that the law would not lead to racial profiling because racial profiling is already banned.
U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-El Paso, a former U.S. Border Patrol sector chief, said the portion of the law that was upheld "hurts communities across our country. This ruling underscores the need for Congress to take up this federal issue and work on a comprehensive immigration reform package that addresses it," he said.
Texas state Sen. José Rodríguez, D-El Paso, said he was "deeply troubled" by the Supreme Court's decision because the law could lead to discrimination.
"As a result of (Monday's) decision, I am confident that there will be several pieces of legislation filed during the next legislative session requiring Texas law enforcement officers to ask immigration status," Rodríguez said.
"These harmful measures hurt the ability of our police to develop and foster relationships with immigrant communities -- relationships critical in combating and solving crime," Rodríguez said.

News: Jay-Z Holds Off On "Blueprint III" Follow-Up, "Maybe After I Finish The Tour I'll Start Another Album"
Thursday, Feb 25, 2010 1:15PM
Rapper Jay-Z recently said that work on his Blueprint III follow-up will be underway after his winter tour ends.
Jay says he is still perfecting his touring performances skills.
Mr. Carter tells The Associated Press that he has started thinking about his twelfth studio album. "Maybe after I finish [the 'BP3'] tour I'll start another album," he reveals, adding, "Maybe at the end of the year. We'll see if the inspiration hits me." But for now, he's concentrating on perfecting the second leg of his arena tour. "I've been working on my live show for 10 years now, just trying to get it better and better. I used to come out with just a DJ, now I got a band. The production's gotten bigger and the lighting guy takes off his shoes and he plays to the beat," he laughs. "The whole thing is being upgraded every single year." (Rap-Up)
Earlier this month, the rapper said he only had a few ideas toward his next solo project.
"I don't know," Jay answered when asked about a release date. "I didn't really start yet. I got a couple of scraps and I got a couple of ideas. I didn't really go into the studio yet. I've been toying with ideas and direction and things like that. I got one crazy record. To be honest with you, it's crazy. I got one and we'll build from there. Whether it comes out this year or next year, it depends on the music and how it's coming out. I don't really have any dates." (MTV)
Last month, Jay said he had not yet fully engaged onto the album.
"Maybe. I got some ideas," the rapper said about a new album in 2010. "I didn't start yet, I just got a bunch of ideas. Maybe if I get into a nice zone...I'm on my way, just ideas." ("The Ed Lover Show")
Prior to its release last September, the rapper explained the significance of offering fans a new sound with The Blueprint III.
"I keep using this phrase 'new classic,' because it has classic sounds and instrumentation, like how music was recorded before. That's why the whole album cover [features] white instrumentsjust left in the corner, no color. It's all about the instruments. It feels classic in that approach, but it's new subject matter, new flows. It's not like an Amy Winehouse thing: a take on what was already done. I mean, if you listen to 'D.O.A.' just the sax alone, those type of sounds. The subject matter is right now. It's a hot-button issue right now." (XXL Magazine)

Davey: Miliband's energy freeze will 'hurt people'
Ed Miliband's proposal to freeze energy prices for 20 months if Labour are elected in 2015, will "hurt people", the Energy Secretary told Daybreak.
The energy companies would "push up bills before Miliband's freeze and afterwards", Ed Davey said.
In turn, he claimed, this would "hurt" the fuel poor and "undermine" investment in green energies.

We'd been kept apart throughout the day. I thought
maybe they thought maybe Christina was involved in
some way.

In the penultimate installment of Part One of Barry Smith's dark comedy about the publishing world, Only Milo, Milo does a Dexter—only to discover his scheme has a fatal flaw.
Margaret made a public announcement
of the IPO in late May.
She would be a multimillionaire by the end of July.
I was missing José. For two years I had been revising three of my books for publication in his name. Now I felt left out of the loop.
Margaret hired new employees to perform the other duties I had assumed when the need arose: designing covers, working with agents, monitoring budgets, setting deadlines. I didn't even have an office in her new complex in midtown.
She was traveling with her investment banker,
schmoozing prospective stockholders, illuminating
them on her vision for the firm, driving up the day
one stock price.
I assumed Howard was along on most of the trips.
I had nothing else to do but plot their demise.
Barry Smith's new novel Only Milo continues this week as the title antihero broods over his alter ego's success and visits the dark side for a solution to his problem.
Margaret was glowing.
I don't think she noticed.
No mention of Milo.
When the next segment began, the first novel was
Set outside Mexico City. Young police officer hero in a rural village terrorized by a serial killing priest. Innocent children, including the police officer as a young boy, initially received love and comfort from the priest, protection from a world of poverty, hunger and fright.
Sexual molestation.
Serial killings.
Long, hushed pause.
As a boy, José had sought solace from a harsh and
unfair world. The church was his sanctuary, the
priest his surrogate father, the weekly homilies the
inspiration for his poetry, his fiction, his life.
Sexually molested by his priest.
Writing about the abuse. Catharsis.
Finally moving forward.
Long, hushed pause.
Oprah was concerned.
Last week in Barry Smith's new novel Only Milo, Milo started publishing his own manuscripts under Mexican author José Calderon's name. As our story continues, José's advent is an epiphany for all concerned, since he sees something mutually advantageous in the arrangement….
"Milo, mi amigo, you are a genius!"
I started to breathe again.
He grabbed my face with both hands and planted a
kiss on my forehead.
I guess he assumed I knew who he was.
"You made my book far better than the original. What
can I do to thank you?"
Another kiss.
That would not have been my first choice.
We ate birthday cake to celebrate.
It wasn't bad.
I told José it might be best if he didn't mention
to Margaret that my "translation" was only loosely
based on the original.
"Señorita Margaret told me she is running out of
books to sell and will be making more. Many more. In
Mexico, we sold less than three hundred copies.
"I have no intention of rocking the canoe."
He was actually quite endearing.
We both had a second piece of cake.
José asked about the story line for the second novel.
Under normal circumstances it would have seemed an
odd question, coming from the book's author.
I told him about my JFK assassination conspiracy
theory novel, set in Mexico City during the summer
of 1963. Did he know who Lee Harvey Oswald was?
"I wasn't sure how well my second book would translate."
We didn't have to worry about that anymore.
I told him the story needed a great deal of revising
and updating, given it was my first novel and it had
been written about forty years ago. I told him I
had been going to the library to review the Warren
Commission Report and had been sifting through
hundreds of Internet sites for information.
He asked if he could help. He seemed eager, in a
puppy sort of way.
I decided it was only appropriate, given it was his
Until now, José had never been out of Mexico.
His life in Mexico City had been hard. His father
left home before he was three. His mother was a
drunken whore. He was raised by his grandmother.
Writing had been his only escape.
He considered his small apartment in Brooklyn a
palace. Indoor plumbing, clean water, and a shower
were luxuries to José. As was the computer that sat
unused on his desk.
He didn't like any of the Mexican food he could find
near his apartment. He said it was too greasy and he
had trouble keeping it down.
I rarely saw him eat.
Margaret told José they needed to make arrangements
for his third novel.
The rights she inherited only included translation
rights for novels one and two. With the runaway
success of the first translation, she was eager to
purchase the rights to his third novel.
"I was quite sick in Mexico City," he told her. "It
still needs a lot of work."
She said she would prefer to publish it directly in
English if he thought that was possible.
"I will get Milo to help you."
José was always sick.
He looked like he still lived in the slums of Mexico
City. No matter how hard Margaret and I tried to
fatten him up and bring color to his face, he looked
worn out and malnourished. He reminded me of the
lead character from that foreign film, Il Postino,
the actor who died the day after filming ended. José
always appeared to be at death's door.
He told me things had not gone well in Mexico after
he finished his two novels, which had both been
written before he turned twenty-five. He had been
driving a cab and waiting tables for most of the
intervening years. The income had barely provided
for necessities.
And he had not written a word in more than five years.
"When I was a boy, I was sexually abused by my
It was said completely out of context. We were
watching a "Seinfeld" rerun.
José said it was the reason my "translation" was so
powerful for him.
"It was as if you wrote the book I was unable to
write, mi amigo."
He began to weep.
Margaret needed a new office.
Her converted warehouse in Brooklyn was no longer
suitable. José's success led to the initial Howard
Rush breakthrough, and that opened the floodgates.
It seemed as though everything she touched turned to
Her investment banker began discussing a real
expansion, an IPO. Strike while the iron was hot.

Margaret would become a multimillionaire in his
She needed a plush new office. Upscale. Something to
entice the public to purchase millions of shares in
her firm.
And she needed to have José finish his third novel.
Margaret had no idea José had not even begun his
third novel.
She assumed he was having marathon writing sessions
in his apartment, pounding out another masterpiece,
while I was finishing my translation of novel number
In reality, he had become hooked on afternoon soap
operas and "Seinfeld" reruns.
There were days he went to the library with me, but
rarely more than once or twice a week, and it was
primarily out of boredom and loneliness.
He really wasn't much help. I got more research and
revising done on those days when he stayed in his
apartment. Once again, the translation was entirely
my work, not his.
He was closing in on year six of his writer's block.
Margaret loved it.
"It's far better than his first novel, Milo. I can
see his growth as a writer. It must have been quite
satisfying for you to see how his work evolved. His
voice is becoming stronger and more confident.
"It deserves a major ad campaign.

seems very secretive about it. I hope that's a good

Oprah could hardly wait to have José appear on her
show, but Margaret carefully controlled the timing.

With the second translation complete, Margaret had
planned a Thanksgiving week release. She made Oprah
wait until early November, and she insisted José be

Only Milo, winner of the 2010 IPPY Gold Medal for Popular Fiction, is published by Inkwater Press (© 2009).
Last week, as you recall, our eponymous antihero decided to pass off his own unpublished manuscripts as translations of an unknown Mexican writer's work. Now Part One of Barry Smith's new novel Only Milo continues apace as consequences come home to roost.
At the end of the summer I submitted my translation
to Margaret.
And waited.
And waited.
"Brilliant, Milo," she said. "I had a very good
feeling about young Mr. Calderon."
She decided to print 20,000 copies. She usually
printed no more than 2,500.
She begged.
She borrowed.
She maxed out four credit cards.
She invested in a major ad campaign.
She gambled the future of her business on "young Mr.
I had little time to work on my own novel.
José's translation had priority. There were proofs,
there were revisions, there were production delays.
Margaret kept reminding me it had to stay true to
the original.
I told her not to worry.
There was artwork, there was jacket design, there
was promotion.
I was feeling closer to Margaret.
I was nearing sixty-three and was successful for the
first time in my life. My creative juices were flowing.
I felt like I was just out of college, starting my
career in publishing.
And I already had twelve novels "in the can."
Maybe Margaret was not such a reach.
His second novel was no better than the first.
Margaret appreciated my initial effort so much she
asked me to "work my magic" again.
Little did she know.
This one was even more difficult to figure out. It
had something to do with a rising star in Mexican
politics who had skeletons in his closet. As a young
political activist, he'd killed two of his co-workers
in a fit of rage, as far as I could figure out. The
current political machine was putting him forward for
the presidency but then discovered his murky past.
Something important probably happened at that point,
but I lost interest. I never read the final hundred
This book would never work for an American audience.
What did they know about Mexican politics?
I had lived in southern New Mexico for twenty years.
I couldn't name one Mexican politician.
I couldn't name one Mexican political party.
I couldn't tell you whose face was on a Mexican peso.
Was there a face on a Mexican peso?
Margaret was nervous.
Everything she owned was on the line. The future of
her business rested with my translation of a young
unknown Mexican author. She was in debt to the max,
hoping José's book would be the one.
She had not even met José Calderon.
He was too sick to travel from his home in Mexico
City. First it was a bout with diverticulitis, then
But she had faith in his words, in his story, in his
In my words, in my story, in my voice.
She pushed, she prodded, she promoted.
She gave interviews, she bought ad space, she created
a buzz.
The first 20,000 copies sold in sixty days.
She ordered a second print run of 100,000.
Her future was assured.
In college, I was obsessed with the JFK
I was probably one of the few people in the world
who read the entire Warren Commission Report. Twice.
Conspiracy theories were my real obsession. Had the
Internet existed in the mid-sixties, I never would
have left my dorm room.
On a lark, I took a fiction-writing class. Since the
only thing rattling around my head at that point
involved JFK conspiracy theories, I wrote a story
about a fictional theory set in Mexico City while Lee
Harvey Oswald visited there during the summer of 1963.
It eventually evolved into my first novel.
I decided José's second "translation" would simply
be my conspiracy theory novel.
It was already set in Mexico City.
In my book, Oswald killed two co-workers in a fit of
rage that summer. Corrupt elements in the Mexican
government, those supporting Cuba's Castro, jumped
at the chance to use Oswald for their own purposes.
They offered Oswald amnesty if he would cooperate
with them in their plans to assassinate President
Kennedy when he visited Dallas in the fall. They
would use Oswald's knowledge of Dallas to assist
them in developing their plot, use his insights to
make it perfect. They would make him feel like a big
man, a keystone in the planning process, the most
important member of the team.
They would let him rot in a Mexican prison if he did
not cooperate, never to see his family again.
Oswald never knew the real plan. The plot was already
in place. All they needed was a patsy to serve as a
fall guy.
The lone, crazed assassin.
This story would sell much better than José's drivel
about Mexican politics.
Since it was my first novel, I knew it would need
significant revisions. It would give me a chance

Meanwhile, Margaret was building an empire.
José's first translation had three print runs. This
encouraged her to take another big gamble.
She had published the first two novels of a young
author named Howard Rush, both written while he was
a graduate student. They were small works, but based
on her previous standing as a minor, independent
press, very successful.
He had recently finished his third novel, a much
larger work that followed a fictional American family
(loosely based on the Kennedy clan) through their
trials and tribulations during the twentieth century.
Margaret thought it was worthy of a large initial
print run and a Madison Avenue-type ad campaign.
The success of José's book gave her the resources to
The Howard Rush novel was a runaway bestseller. As
were his next, and his next.
She was featured in a piece in The New York Times

where her publishing firm was housed.
She was becoming a rock star in the publishing
The second translation took much longer than the first.
Research was needed to make it sound and feel
authentic. After all, José grew up in the Mexico
City area, so I could not make mistakes about
important places, dates, or historical events. I
spent hours and hours poring through Internet sites
on the subject.

door was ajar. I had lost my only key, so I never
locked the door while I was out. Sometimes lonely
neighbors stopped by while I was gone and waited for

the hall had left a birthday cake in my apartment.
It wasn't even my birthday.
I entered slowly and could see the ankles and feet
of someone sitting in a chair around the corner from
my front entrance.

Sony Vegas Pro v 12 build 670 with patch by KHG (Only x64 ) (Size: 232.26 MB)
Sony Vegas Pro v 12 build 670 (Only x64 )
Vegas Pro 12 overview
Vegas™ Pro 12 is an integrated, forward-thinking production environment designed for a new generation of creative professionals. Combining a familiar track-based timeline with hundreds of thoughtful workflow innovations, Vegas Pro 12 is a refreshing, modern approach to post-production. Supporting more formats, more workflows, and more creative control than ever before, Vegas Pro 12 makes it easy to deliver your message and express your artistic vision.
Innovative editing tools
Edit SD, HD, 2K and 4K material in 2D or stereoscopic 3D, with drag-and-drop functionality or traditional 3-point and 4-point editing modes. The Vegas Pro 12 interface provides an impressive array innovative tools and thoughtful touches, with a fully customizable workspace for accomplishing a wide range of production tasks. Nest Vegas Pro projects within the timeline, customize and save keyboard commands, and use application scripting to automate repetitive tasks. The new Expanded Edit Mode temporarily splits the track at the edit point and enables you to dynamically add or remove frames from either side of the edit point while the media is playing, creating a highly precise, interactive editing experience.
Powerful effect and compositing engine
Combine up to 32 high-quality, keyframeable effects per Effects Chain and apply them at the Event, Track, Media, or Project level. Vegas Pro 12 uses an advanced plug-in architecture based on the OpenFX standard, for hundreds of optional effects from leading visual effects plug-in VFX developers. Parent-Child tracks and sophisticated 2D and 3D compositing modes provide a powerful, flexible effects environment. Shape Masking tools and FX Masking capabilities are new for Vegas Pro 12, along with the Color Match plug-in, to quickly match the color characteristics from one clip to another.
Project interchange
Import and export a wide range of project files to and from Vegas Pro 12. The built-in software can convert between the native .veg file and AAF, for Avid® ProTools®, XML for Apple® Final Cut Pro® 7, Final Cut Pro X (export only) and DaVinci Resolve 8, and .prproj for Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS6 and After Effects® CS6.
Titler Pro
Create high-quality titles with Titler Pro 1.0, a full-featured titling application from NewBlueFX. Titler Pro enables users to add animations, professional-style templates, and effects to their title sequences. Work in real-time with GPU-accelerated effects and transitions, and easily move text on the X, Y, and Z axes within the Vegas Pro 12 workspace. With 2D and 3D capabilities, Titler Pro 1.0 is the perfect addition to the stereoscopic 3D toolset.
Designed for performance
64-bit operating systems are the best choice for high-end performance. By focusing exclusively on 64-bit operating systems like Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit, Vegas Pro 12 overcomes many of the limitations of legacy 32-bit software/hardware architecture, enabling users to enjoy superior performance and improved stability for memory-intensive projects and formats.
Working with OpenCL™ supported devices from AMD and NVIDIA, Vegas Pro 12 leverages GPU acceleration for video FX, transitions, compositing, pan/crop, track motion and encoding, providing a significantly faster workflow. GPU acceleration streamlines the video editing experience in Vegas Pro 12 by providing playback performance gains and faster rendering times, ideal for industry professionals who work on tight deadlines where every second counts.
Stereoscopic 3D editing
Create breathtaking stereoscopic 3D projects with the same ease and agility as the Vegas Pro 2D workflow. Vegas Pro 12 provides the ability to easily import, adjust, edit, preview, and output stereoscopic 3D media — all using industry-standard professional delivery formats including single or dual files with side-by-side, top/bottom, or line-alternate encoding. Anaglyphic monitoring and output are also supported. Stereoscopic Auto-Pairing allows bulk pairing of stereoscopic 3D subclips on the timeline, with the ability to automatically pair stereoscopic 3D media created with the Sony PMW-TD300 or a pair of PMW-F3 cameras using the 3D Link feature.
Superior audio control
Access unlimited audio tracks, 24-bit/192 kHz audio, punch-in recording, 5.1 surround mixing, effects automation, and time compress/expand, while applying customizable, real-time audio effects like EQ, Reverb, Delay, and more. Expand your audio processing and mixing options with supported third-party DirectX® and VST audio plug-ins. Vegas Pro 12 includes support for new 64-bit versions of Sony's Noise Reduction 2.0, Wave Hammer, Acoustic Mirror, and more. Use the Mixing Console for precise audio control, with sample-based accuracy.
Broad format support
Vegas Pro pioneered the concept of format-native editing, and the latest version continues that legacy by supporting today's most popular camcorder formats including XDCAM™, NXCAM, AVCHD, HDCAM SR™, DSLR h.264 QuickTime® and RED®. New for version 12 is support for Panasonic P2 DVCPRO and AVC-Intra media. Projects can now be encoded to HDCAM SR MXF files, for pristine quality edit masters.
Powerful Blu-ray Disc™ authoring
Burn movies to Blu-ray Disc directly from the Vegas Pro 12 timeline for high-definition delivery. Use DVD Architect Pro software (included with the Vegas Pro 12 collection) to author DVD or Blu-ray Disc projects with subtitles, multiple languages, and numerous playback menus. Preview and test your work in real time. Import layered Photoshop® .PSD files for buttons and other graphic elements. The MainConcept AVC encoder now supports variable bit rates up to 40 Mbps and average bit rate of 25 Mbps, for better HD quality than ever before.

Repression in Burma noted by USCIRF members

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Two members of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom urged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the eve of her visit to Burma to call on the Burmese government to implement basic reforms to protect religious freedom and other human rights.
Writing in an op-ed that appeared Nov. 30 in the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News, USCIRF commissioners Richard Land and Azizah Y. al-Hibri acknowledged "some positive steps" by Burma's new civilian government but said conditions for religious adherents had not improved "by any measurable degree."
After meeting Dec. 1 with Burmese President Thein Sein and other senior government officials, Clinton expressed hope but caution about developments in the Asian country.
Burma, now officially named Myanmar, has had one of the world's worst records on human rights for decades. The military regime that has ruled the country for nearly 50 years "has repressed democracy, denied ethnic and cultural rights, displaced hundreds of thousands, and used rape, torture, forced labor, conscription of child soldiers and extrajudicial killings to 'pacify' its people," Land and al-Hibri wrote in their op-ed. Land is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
The U.S. State Department has named Burma as one of only eight "countries of particular concern," a designation reserved for the world's worst violators of religious freedom.
This fall, the civilian government took some positive steps on human rights, including the release of 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner and democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest and 200 other prisoners of conscience. Most observers still believe the military maintains control, however, Land and al-Hibri said.
Despite the recent acts signaling reform, repression of Christianity, Islam and Buddhism continues, they said. Land and al-Hibri cited a Nov. 6 raid by soldiers of a church in the state of Kachin in which 50 members were taken for forced labor and women reportedly were raped. New regulations requiring religious groups to receive permission for such practices as Bible reading and prayer were issued in October, they said.
Land and al-Hibri, a Muslim lawyer, applauded the Obama administration's effort to evaluate Burma's progress on reform but said it should proceed cautiously. They said the United States should call on the Burmese government to demonstrate its commitment to reform by taking concrete steps, such as:
-- The release of "all political and religious prisoners."
-- An "immediate cease-fire in ethnic minority areas."
-- A "commitment to improve its human rights record."
Progress in religious liberty "should be a critical benchmark" in determining Burma's commitment to authentic reform, Land and al-Hibri said.
They also said the United States and the global community should continue political and economic sanctions until Burma provides evidence it is changing.
Speaking to reporters Dec. 1 in the Burmese capital of Nay Pyi Taw, Clinton said she told Sein "while the measures already taken may be unprecedented and certainly welcome, they are just a beginning. It is encouraging that political prisoners have been released, but over a thousand are still not free. Let me say publicly what I said privately earlier today. No person in any country should be detained for exercising universal freedoms of expression, assembly and conscience.
"President Obama spoke of flickers of progress [in Burma]," Clinton said. "Well, we know from history that flickers can die out. They can even be stamped out. Or they can be ignited. It will be up to the leaders and the people to fan those flickers of progress into flames of freedom that light the path toward a better future. That and nothing less is what it will take for us to turn a solitary visit into a lasting partnership."
Clinton announced some actions the Obama administration would be taking, including increasing aid to civil society groups that provide for such needs as health care and microcredit in Burma.
After meeting with Clinton Dec. 2 at her Rangoon home, Suu Kyi acknowledged Burma is not on the "road towards democracy" yet, but said, "[W]e hope to get there as soon as possible with the help and understanding of our friends [in the United States and elsewhere]."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom is a bipartisan panel that advises the White House, State Department and Congress on the status of religious freedom overseas. Its nine members are selected by the president and congressional leaders.

An estimated 5,000 children under 18 years of age are injured annually from accidental falls from windows. National Window Safety Week was recognized this month, designed to educate parents and caregivers on how to prevent unintentional window falls and how windows can be properly used for emergency escape, however the Los Angeles Fire Department joins the National Safety Council in asking you to focus on window safety year round.
Windows play a vital role in home safety, serving as a secondary escape route in the event of a fire or other emergency, but they can also pose a risk for a fall if safety measures are not followed.
Here are eight simple ways to protect your loved one:
- Keep windows closed and locked when not in use for ventilation.
- Avoid placing furniture that young children can climb on near windows.
- Do not lean on screens or rely on them to prevent a window fall – insect screens are designed to keep bugs out, not to keep children in the home.
- Supervise children to prevent them from playing near windows, balconies or patio doors.
- Install building code-compliant devices such as window guards (with quick-release mechanisms in case of fire).
- Create soft landing surfaces (i.e. bushes or plant beds) to help prevent serious injuries in case of a fall.
- Have and practice a family escape plan and teach children how to safely use a window to escape during an emergency.
- When performing spring repairs, make sure windows are not painted or nailed shut as you must be able to open them to escape in an emergency.

Delmon Young is latching on with the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Phils have signed the veteran outfielder to a one-year, 750-thousand-dollar contract. The 27-year-old hit .267 with 18 home runs and 74 RBI last season with Detroit.
He was acquired by the Tigers from Minnesota during the 2011 season.
Young was arrested last April for allegedly getting into a scuffle with a group of men outside a New York hotel and making anti-semitic remarks. He's a career .284 hitter with 89 home runs in seven big league seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, Twins and Tigers.

Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o (MAN-tye TAY-oh) is getting ready to talk, on camera, about the "girlfriend hoax."
The All American linebacker, and his parents, will be interviewed by Katie Couric tomorrow on her syndicated show.
Te'o has said he believed the young woman he talked with for months online and on the phone, was real and that she really died of leukemia last September. Last week it was revealed that she never existed and Te'o says the hoax was created by a Southern California man.

Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez was a guest on Fight Corner Radio recently, and they conducted a pretty extensive interview with him. Alvarez is coming off a five round decision win over Pat Curran at Bellator 39, and his next opponent will be decided in two days at Bellator 44 when Patricky Friere meets Michael Chandler in the tournament final. This interview touches mostly on stuff outside the realm of Bellator. It leads off with how Eddie would fare as a professional boxer, and he was surprisingly frank with his thoughts (transcribed by fiveknuckles):
"I don't think I'd do well," Alvarez said. "Just because in boxing it would be hard for me to make 147. And I know boxers here in Philly at that weight and I spar with them, and I get my (expletive) whooped. They're not no world champions either, but these guys are seriously good. It would be really tough for me. I'd have to develop a whole different style of boxing to be successful.
"Actually Bernard (Hopkins) thinks that I would become a world champion; he said it out of his own mouth that he's never seen an MMA fighter box the way that I box. And I felt good about him saying that, but in the back of my head I'm thinking to myself, 'Nah.' Maybe I'm not as confident in myself as some other people are, but I'm not looking to go into pro boxing any time soon."
In MMA though, Eddie is very sure of his striking ability:
"I definitely, 100-percent feel that I have the best hands in the lightweight division," Alvarez said. "If I watch Melvin Guillard, I definitely see a lot of holes. He's quick, he's explosive, but he gets a little wild."
"But, when I look out there at the whole spectrum of lightweights, I gotta be honest, I think I have the best boxing in the lightweight division. I think whoever ranked Gilbert Melendez as having the best hands in MMA has got to be on acid or out of their mind."
He talks a little about MTV2 and his two possible future opponents:
"On MTV 2 it's going to give us the exposure that we need," Alvarez said. "We're going to get out to millions. [My exposure] will increase, it won't be to the level that the UFC could give me right now, but it will give me mainstream exposure to the everyday fan, and it's only going to continue.
"The way things are going with MTV2, they're doing great and I'm happy they are. One of the main reasons I signed with the company is to help build a company and to be somebody on the forefront of a big MMA company. They're producing good talent. You got Patricky (Freire) and (Michael) Chandler in the finals, and regardless of them being unranked or unknown, they're dangerous fighters and they can definitely compete with some of the better fighters out there. So regardless what the fans think, they are acquiring talent that can do damage."
This little tidbit was interesting as well:
The 27-year-old just automatically re-upped with the young organization after winning its lightweight tournament last season and is under contract with them for 3 more fights.
After discussing the merits of popularity vs. skill in MMA for a while, he goes onto talk about current training partner and UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. Would he fight his teammate? Yes.
"No problem at all," Alvarez said. "Me and Frankie already talked about this. He knows the game. We're not selling insurance here we have to fight sometimes. So me and Frankie talked about it and if things come down to it and we have to fight each other we will. Right now, I'm with Bellator for the time being and I have a future with Bellator and there's no conflict of interest. He's trying to be number one in his organization, I want to be number one in my organization and right now we're helping each other.
"If it comes down to that and we have to stop helping each other for a little bit and fight each other, it wouldn't be too big of a deal. It's not something I'd look forward to, but sometimes if the fans push hard enough and the people with the money push hard enough, and it means me and Frankie can support our families, then we'll fight each other. Nobody's going to die. We'll both wake up the next day."
And finally, he talks about the much-discussed fight with Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez. He says Gil called him out on Inside MMA first, and once he heard about it he sent out a press release to try and get the fight going, but Scott Coker got in the way.
"If you ask me my opinion I think Gilbert's a lot more confidence in his abilities than his promoter did. When I asked Scott personally about it he feed me a bunch of B.S."
"But there's no bad blood. Gilbert actually came to me and said, 'Look I shouldn't have said anything unless I knew I could get the fight.' And he said the only reason he wanted to fight me is because he thought I was good and whatever. There's no bad blood. It don't matter to me. To be honest, I don't want guys to call me out to fight me, I want people to run from me. So when someone personally calls you out, it's hard not to take it personal because they're basically saying, 'I can beat you.' If I tell a guy I want to fight him, it's because I think I can beat him. It's not because I think I'm going to lose to him."
It seems that Alvarez will be continue on in Bellator for the time being, but you get the impression from the overall interview that Eddie knows he will be in the UFC one day. Can he compete at the top of the ladder in the UFC? Or with Gilbert Melendez?

FLORIDA: Florida Fish and Wildlife is allowing licensed hunters to kill pythons in the wild for the first time.
FWC and Big Cypress National Preserve implemented the program to reduce the number of Burmese pythons in the wild.
The snakes are believed to be killing endangered species.
According to the National Park Service, mercury testing on two dozen captured Burmese pythons in Everglades National Park revealed extraordinarily high levels of mercury in the meat.
The non-native snakes can be killed only during season with approved weapons.
The state recently authorized python hunting by 13 licensed experts.
Fourteen pythons have been killed since the hunt began last month.

Canon PIXMA the leading inkjet printer brand in the Philippines sent me a review unit of the PIXMA iP4970. It's a single function A4 printer that umm yes functions as a printer. The iP4970 is the top of the line model among the A4 single function bunch. Kindly note that the printer is not brand new, thus you will see some noticeable scratches with the actual photos of the unit.
The PIXMA iP4970 being the top of the line single function A4 printer share a lot of things from its higher-end models like the MG6270 and the A3 wonder iX6560. It has the same glossy piano black and some nice texturized flat colored accents on the top borders of the printer. The built quality is nice and surely will last an abuse. But honestly (again) I'm not fond of glossy finishes on printers.
As a PIXMA model, you can close the printer to a box-like appearance eliminating dusts and other foreign particles that can go inside the feeder and the trays. On the front, is the paper tray and the disc tray for the direct disc printing. USB and power ports can be seen at the back and surprisingly this printer has an emergency jam opening that will help you pullout those jammed moments.
The 5.7kg printer has a dedicated feeder at the bottom, which Canon calls "Auto Document Feeder". This feeder can stack up a maximum of 150 papers and can do duplex printing. The bottom tray can be used for those quick photo printing, you can just leave some 4×6 photo papers in there and print quickly when you need it.
The printer has all the nice stuff of its higher-end models. 1 picolitre, Chromalife 100, 9600 dpi resolution, PictBridge compatibility and many others. As you may have noticed with its feature set, the iP4970 is designed as a photo printer it has a 5 individual ink cartridges that will give you a crisp and vibrant output.
Software wise Canon PIXMA is marketing it to have some cool post-production fun. From Auto Photo Fix II, fish-eye, miniature, toy camera and soft focus filters to the movie grabbing print function. Unluckily I wasn't able to try these out since the demo unit didn't came with an installer.
Using the Canon PIXMA iP4970
Having reviewed a lot of PIXMA printers and owning a number of Canon printers, I can confidently say that I know how it compares to its siblings. I'm going forward and will type here the most important part of the review.
First of, computer used was my MacBook Air 11" mid-2012 model calibrated with Spyder4Express. Software is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.3. Settings used were "Managed by printer" Brightness +31 and Contrast +59. Files used came from Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 7D, Fuji X10 and Sony RX100.
I wouldn't be detailing much of the serious printing and calibration stuff here you can read them instead from my previous reviews since it's really similar.
The PIXMA iP4970 is very familiar to me, I have an old iP4300 which is I think its old counterpart. The printer can handle a maximum of 150 papers in the rear and in the bottom feeder.
It quietly prints and spool papers in and out. But I have to say that I find the MG6270 to be more discreet in this regard.
A print in a standard setting on an A4 GP501 "Everyday Use" paper will just take you an approximately 1:45s while if you choose the highest quality setting it will only give you an additional 22 seconds.
I printed more than 70 prints and most of them were printed on GP501 "Glossy Photo Paper – Everyday Use" paper while some are on the more expensive "Photo Paper Plus Glossy II" which is thicker and glossier.
This printer still has the fantastic "Standard" quality, which in the naked eye can't really spot the difference of a "Standard" from the "High" quality.
I find it really hard to tell the difference of the quality between a MG6270 and iP4970 prints. The former has more nozzles of course but the vertical 9600 x 2400 resolution is the same leaving me satisfied as "they print virtually the same quality".
As you can see above, I ignored the calibration of my display and instead use the color profile by Canon. The "Managed by printer" can really make wonders but you still need to adjust the two settings which is the brightness and contrast.
Printer driver was detected and installed flawlessly in Mac OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I find it hard downloading the printer software suite and this I'll make sure Canon should provide me next time.
Update (added)
Ink consumption really depends on the type of paper and overall color of your image. Started using the CLI-726BK, PGI-725PGBK and CLI-726Y at approximately 70% level and after 37 color prints, 4 black and white and 5 full page text you can see that I depleted the yellow first and then nearly depleted (maybe 10% mark) are black, magenta and cyan. You can roughly have 55 to 65 prints from a set of full ink tanks (highly depends on the color). I'm not mathematician nor a scientist but based from the datas I gathered a single A4 GP501 "Everyday Use" color print can cost you about 50 to 60 pesos. Does it print cheap? Probably yes and no because it really depends on how many you will print. Short run = inkjet, bulk = photo lab. Although printing from a photo lab is still cheaper but you can't compare how sharp and crisp an output from an inkjet printer nowadays. For me if quality and overall control is what you are looking for then invest in a photo printer.
The Canon PIXMA iP4970 produced stellar quality prints as expected, it is virtually the same as the iX6560 and MG6270 in terms of print quality. The only thing I noticed is that the MG6270 is more discreet while spooling and printing.
I really would have hoped that this model came with wi-fi. I don't know but at this price range and being the top of the line A4 photo printer this model should've wireless communication.
As I stated in the previous PIXMA review the glossy piano black doesn't really appeal to me practically speaking. I prefer the texturized flat finish of the Pro 9500.
All in all the Canon PIXMA iP4970 is a wonderful dedicated high quality photo printer, with the efficient individual ink tanks and silent printing you can't find fault on this single-function printer. The quality is virtually the same like its higher end models. It is recommended to all photographers and artists that doesn't need the additional features and require the best possible quality in a single-function print making device.
Big discount alert!!!
Great news to those who made it to this part of the review. Canon Marketing Philippines Inc. is giving a huge discount on this PIXMA iP4970 printer. Current SRP is P6,495 but for a limited time you can get this at P5,300 and if you buy an additional 1 ink and you will get a gift set which is an Axis Watch and Franklin Covey Pen worth Php1,700.
How to avail? Just say this magic code "Happy New Printer" to Mr. Paul James Ella firstname.lastname@example.com or call 02-8849016.

After going through all the games. First looks like a little bit of everyone is the problem. The OLine needs to help Alex Smith out a little bit more. Interior OL needs to get nasty and Fisher well a rookie but lets lock it up. UGH growing pains!
But the bigest thing other than that is no audible at the LOS. Only when KC is doing the hurry up.
Alex Smith moves the ball the best when they do the hurry up. Go and look for yourselves. Also KC hasn't been doing that as much for some reason as they did in the beginning of the season.
With Smith I don't see him able to change the plays on the field after they huddle. He is only able to call protection for blocking or flip running plays away from the blitz. Unless all the WR can mind read because the only time Smith does tons of hand singles is in the hurry up. Also there has been times Smith saw the blitz coming and didn't call a hot route. Also there has been a hand full of times it looked like Alex knew the play wouldnt work, dropped back and just took off running. Or said no way and called TO.
So now I understand whats going on with Big Reds comment "I don't think I did a very good job of putting guys in a position to make plays," Reid said to the media on Monday afternoon.
Looks like Reid is calling the play and Alex has to run it even if he see something better. Smith if able to call audibles he could help put what hes got on the filed in better positions too.
Smith is smart and can run a offense but with the comment and watching tape KC is not using the most out of Smith yet.
I understand its a new system and you dont want to put to much on a QB but I hope they let him do what he does best and read the D and run the best play right before the snap....
Reid said. "I thought Dennis called a good game on the defensive side. They did a good job of rolling their coverages and their secondary looks. I've got to do a better job with helping with the calls."Alex said after the game that THEY (instead of saying we or even I) couldn't get a beat on what the Raiders were doing"
I hope they give Alex Smith a little more flexibility with the play calling sooner than later.

This video was re-edited to include dialog between trail boss and others during the most difficult portion of this adventure. One of the main lessons learned on this day was how critical it is to have the right sled (mountain or at least a crossover designed for these snow conditions, this was not the same snow you would find back in the midwest, with the higher elevations, the moisture content is much less, creating a consistency more like sugar. Unfortunately we had only a couple of sleds designed for these conditions with us at this point. The other key lesson is to make sure everyone is healthy enough to handle these type of conditions, unfortunately one of the riders had previously been injured on a previous day and was not able to physically handle the conditions we experienced on this leg of the trip. This day reinforced the need to be prepared with the survival and communication tools required for this trip. Knowing we could communicate with rescuer and survive a night in the mountains if necessary was critical to everyone staying focused on working our way out of this dangerous situation.

Things continue to be slow on the recruiting trail, but there is still a bit of high school hoops news from the past week or so to go over.
First off, Leron Black of White Station (TN) has decommitted from Baylor, per John Martin of the The Commercial Appeal. Black is a 6-foot-7 power forward who ranks No. 13 in the NBE Sports Class of 2014 Post-July Top 75. He was amongst the top non-senior players in American who had made a decision, but he is now back on the board.
Kameron Rooks of Mission Hills (CA) tweeted his intentions to attend Cal. Rooks is a 7-foot class of 2013 center who picked the Bears over a few other programs in the Pac-12. His father is former Arizona standout Sean Rooks.
Hofstra picked up a pledge from 6-foot-1 guard Iverson Fleming, per Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com. Fleming is a class of 2013 prospect from New Brunswick (NJ).

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Sunday was the final day of the last Live Evaluation Period of July. While the turnout was not as high, there were still a number of Division I coaches in the gym until they had to leave a 5:00 p.m. NBE Sports took in much of the action on Sunday and all but one of the games we watched was from non-Gold Pool teams, allowing us to catch some sleepers. Find out below who shined in their last chance of the summer and also see who leads for a trio of 2013 prospects.
Nigel Hayes stood out as the easy pick for the top performer spot from Sunday's action. A 6'7 power forward from Whitmer (OH), Hayes turned in a really nice showing for All-Ohio Red. Hayes has had a great summer and he continued his strong play on Sunday, demonstrating a vastly improved offensive skill set and better motor. Hayes has a terrific frame and is a strong player. He is a quality scorer who can connect on midrange jumpers and is also very comfortable with his back to the basket. Hayes even showed that he has the ability to step out and knock down a shot from beyond the 3-point line. He is a solid overall athlete and it is clear that Hayes is on the upswing as a player and a prospect.

The first three days of the National Prep School Invitational were dominated by Steven Adams and his Notre Dame Prep squad. The 2012 big man from New Zealand erased any concerns after his foul-plagued showing at the Hoop Hall Classic and cemented his status as one of 2012's top players. On Sunday it was time for another 2012 big man to steal the show and make his case for the #1 overall ranking in the senior class. With the gym buzzing and filled to a capacity that it saw at no other time all weekend the Tilton School and REDA (Ontario) took the floor at 1:30 PM. Nerlens Noel jumped center for the Tilton School sporting his trademark bright pink Nikes and his high top fade and put on the best show of the weekend.
Top Performance of the Day:
Nerlens Noel (Tilton 2012) – This was Noel's first national appearance since announcing his intentions to graduate this year as a member of the 2012 class early Thursday morning. Providence fans packed the gym to see him as they made the cut of his seven final schools along with Kentucky, Syracuse, Connecticut, Florida, Georgetown and North Carolina. Dominance doesn't even begin to describe the defensive effort put forth by Noel as he tallied 10 blocks to go along with countless more altered shots. It reached a point where REDA coaches could be heard screaming at their players who even attempted to challenge the big man as a shot in the lane against Noel was basically a turnover. Perhaps the most telling statistic of his dominance was on the scoreboard. Noel played the majority of the game's first 29 minutes at which point REDA had only scored 19 points. At that time Nerlens went to the bench in a blowout victory and in the remaining 11 minutes REDA was able to put up 29 points. His defensive prowess is certainly nothing new but Sunday's was a particularly stunning performance even by his high standards. Offensively Noel looked better than ever and as crazy as it sounds was literally playing point guard for his Tilton team during the 2nd half. He brought the ball up the floor every time and got his team into their offense sometimes breaking his man down off the dribble and other times running a play for someone else. I'm not suggesting that Noel is making a drastic position change but it was an indicator of how far along his ball handling and passing skills have come in the last year. Once only a defensive standout, Noel's offense is catching up seemingly by the day.

Gill St. Bernard's 76, Mater Dei 73 OT
There were supposed to be a lot of stars on the floor in this one.
Mater Dei was ranked #8 in the country coming into the game by whomever thinks they're qualified to rank high school teams nationally (not really sure how it's possible with the volume of teams etc but whatever) while Gill St. Bernard's was kind of licking their wounds from a 2-2 trip to the City of Palms (which was so excellently covered by my guy Brian Bosworth).
Well, the biggest star in this game was a big man by the name of Dominic Hoffman who will soon become a nightmare for all the coaches in the Patriot League once he arrives at Bucknell in late summer. The game was the best of the day and it really wasn't close — Mergen Sina from St. Bernard's coached the hell out of his team and they responded by playing harder and smarter than Mater Dei and ultimately being rewarded with a much deserved W in overtime.
Dominic Hoffman 2012 6'7 Center (Bucknell)
Hoffman might be 6'7″ but he plays 6'10″. High energy player with a motor to match. Crashes offensive boards. Runs rim-to-rim. Blocks a lot of shots with his timing and long arms. Hits 18 footer. Has post moves and counter post moves that he uses to score consistently down low. Excellent in the two man game with either Jaren Sina or Alex Mitola all night. Would Not Let His Team Lose! Finished with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks. Outstanding performance of the day (along with Kris Jenkins).

The 2011 City of Palms Classic came to a close on Wednesday night with a wild day of hoops culminating in an all Texas title game between Prestonwood Christian and Grace Prep. Local fans, scouts, and college coaches packed the gym to the rafters and created a high intensity atmosphere for these young players. Even legendary ESPN analyst Dick Vitale stopped by to enjoy the action offering a few words to the crowd before the championship game. Prestonwood Christian turned the final into a laugher prevailing 62-42 with stud junior forward Julius Randle taking home MVP honors. While Randle led the team throughout the week, it was a freshman who carried Prestonwood on his back tonight while the big man sat for much of the game in foul trouble.
Top Performance of the Day:
Mickey Mitchell (Prestonwood Christian 2015) – After viewing Mitchell for 4 games this week I feel very comfortable saying that he is in the running for top player nationally in the 2015 class. Offensively, Mitchell does a bit of everything as a 6'7" guard including making jumpers, exploding to the rim, making high level passes, and crashing the glass. While all this is very impressive, it was Mitchell's defensive ability that left the biggest mark. Over the course of 3 days he defended 5 star wing Shabazz Muhammad, 4 star big man Ricardo Gathers, and 5 star point guard Emmanuel Mudiay. It speaks volumes that Prestonwood's coaching staff chose to use their freshman as the defensive stopper against this wide array of players. As long as Mitchell continues to work hard (which is basically all he talked about in a post game interview) the sky is the limit.

Located in the Main Mansion (first floor). Lady Astor was the most famous hostess in Cliveden's colourful history. Her bedroom is little changed from that time and now offers guests one of the very grandest suites in England.
The mighty over mantel, with its myriad of mythical creatures, heraldic devices and exuberant ornamentation provides a stunning focus of attention that dates from the reign of Elizabeth I. The windows flood the room with light and provide sweeping views over the Parterre and River Thames beyond, while the furnishings are particularly lavish.
The suite also opens out onto an enormous private terrace, with a table and chairs for six, benches and sun loungers. The scheme of this guest room is white and the panelling is American oak. This suite has a large bathroom with separate makeup area. Also, this bedroom is the only registered bedroom for up to 60 people for a wedding ceremony.
As you admire John Singer Sargent's famous portrait on her bedroom wall, it is easy to imagine Nancy's extraordinary personal magnetism and understand what a remarkable character she was. Not only was she the first woman to become a member of parliament but she exerted enormous influence with everyone from politicians to royalty and industrialists to artists. Staying in what was her personal room is a special experience that will be savoured for many years to come.

The History of the Lady Astor Suite
Lady Astor (1879-1964), born Nancy Witcher Langhorne was born on 19th May 1879 in Danville, Virginia.
In 1906 Nancy Langhorne married William Waldorf Astor's eldest son, Waldorf, who gave them Cliveden as a wedding present. They employed 50 gardeners, 12 stablemen, six housemaids and six laundry maids before the First World War. The Astors made Cliveden into a centre of political and literary society, both in this period and during the inter-war years. Regular guests included Henry James, George Bernard Shaw, Rudyard Kipling, Balfour and Churchill.
Waldorf Astor became the 2nd Viscount Astor on the death of his father in 1919 and so had to resign as a Member of Parliament. Lady Astor fought the subsequent by-election at Plymouth and became the first woman to take her seat in the House of Commons. Her subsequent political career and her extraordinary personal magnetism have become legendary.
She and Lord Astor gave Cliveden to the National Trust in 1942 but continued to live there until her death in 1964. The National Trust has loaned the famous portrait of Nancy Astor by John Singer Sargent, which hangs on the left of the fireplace in the hall.

It's time to reverse the power that the city, state and federal governments have given to the labor unions.
The whole idea of a wage scale is corrupt. I've seen carpenters worth half the "prevailing wage" and some worth twice it. Let the contractors decide what kind of employees they want to hire and what they have to pay to get them.

Perhaps if they would make a true prevailing wage instead of just reprinting the union scale it might have significance.

Whatever happened to people we have be letting into the country across our borders to do the work that American do not want to do - unless paid as much as a person with a Masters in Computer Science from India.
Does education has any relevance in Govt. jobs. Or should be pay everyone what a CEO should make.
I vote for teachers to be paid as much as Frank Benest. It is the future of our children which is at stake !!!!
If we cannot do a job for a reasonable price - do what Americans do best - hand it off to China.
