I am from Australia and am taking a Nth American trip in August, with 16 days, starting from NYC to see the coast of Maine, Nova Scotia and PEI and get to Rochester NY to drop the car off and fly out.
I am looking at somthing like the following day by day sched.
1. NYC to Providence, RI by Amtrak. Pickup rental car.
2. RI via Plymouth to Portland, ME
3. Wiscasset, Boothbay Hbr to Port Clyde
4 Ferry to Monhegan Is from Port Clyde, Rockland, Rockport, Camden
5-6 Bar Harbor, Acadian Nat Pk,
7. Saint John, NB ferry to Digby NS, Lunenburg
8. Mahone Bay, Peggy's Cove, Halifax
9-10 Cabot Trail, Cape Breton
12 PEI to Moncton, NB
13-16. Gaspe to Rochester, NY
I realise it is a big rush, but it is my only opportunity to see these areas. We are two adults in our 50's, I am used to driving long distances. We prefer seascapes, scenery, islands, over cities and shopping etc.
I figure much in these areas will be similar. Any suggestions what could be dropped and what is best kept?
Should we forget Boothbay? I am happy just to focus on the Acadian Nat Park and not spend more than an evening in Bar Harbor, or is it better to forget that as well and put more time into Cape Breton etc. in Nova Scotia?
I've thought about including Newfoundland, and cutting out some other areas. But even though I hear it is the most beautiful of all these areas I am it sounds a step too far to fit it in, especially with so much time getting there and back by ferry.
Any comments, recommendation are much appreciated. I doubt I will get the opportunity to get back to Maine and the Maritimes again, so I am working hard to plan the best trip I can do in the time.
Thanks in advance,
Road Trip Aug 2010; RI, ME, Maritimes

Boothbay Harbor is very touristy and struck me as just a bunch of places to buy stuff. I'd skip it, and instead go to Pemaquid Point.

Your plan to see Nova Scotia in 3 days is pretty rushed. I would consider deleting the Cape Breton part of the tour, not because it is not worth seeing, but because it is a lot of driving and you cannot do it justice in that time frame. I would do Lunenburg and Mahone Bay and then head to PEI from there . If you found you had some time before PEI I would stop in Halfax after leaving Lunenburg for some time spent on the waterfront, browse the shops there, and maybe have a nice meal at a seafood restaurant right on the dock. Or on your way back from Lunenburg stop at Peggys Cove instead of Halifax. The scenery here is beautiful, rugged (and dangerous too so don't get too close to the waters edge) and you can walk on the rocks, take pictures, and have a snack at the gift shop.
These scenarios make more sense than just driving, and driving all day to get to Cape Breton and then not really spending any time to explore the area. Save that area for the next time you visit and do Newfoundland at the same time.

We're "country mice" and have always loved quiet, scenic places vs cities. We're now retired here in Vermont, and we ADORE our adopted state, but we have taken many vacations to Maine and NB. These days, we have been renting a cottage during our anniversary week in Georgetown, ME, right on the coast, not far from Bath. Very nice, very quiet, and plenty of delicious fresh seafood!
We've never made it to NS, but we have very much enjoyed NB a few times, especially Fundy. I may be wrong (someone correct me please, if I am!) but I do not think there IS a ferry any more between NB and NS. You would have to drive "up and around" in NB to get over there.
Also, Newfoundland would no doubt be gorgeous, but is also a long way to drive.
I suggest you check the web sites for the areas you plan to visit, and perhaps request their "packages" of information and maps, though it is questionable whether or not their replies would get back to you in that amount of time. (Perhaps they can airmail them to you for a fee?)
Monhegan I. MAY be lovely, but may not be, too, depending on the fog that day! The boat ride could be enjoyable anyway, of course.
Port Clyde, Rockland, Rockport, and Camden are very scenic. We once took a 2-hour ride out on a small sail boat in Camden and loved it. There was also a "sunset cruise" -- from Port Clyde, as I recall -- and that was great. We got to watch the moon come up and saw several lighthouses come on, etc.
Some advice: If you take ANY boat rides, plan on it getting a lot colder on the water than it was even just a few miles back on shore, at any time of day!
Hopefully, folks along the Maine coast can fill in the blanks.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti has told the president he'll step down as soon as the government's budget and financial stability law receives parliamentary approval.
The decision comes after he lost the support of the centre-right PDL party on Thursday over the severity of the budget cuts he has imposed.
If Monti resigns, an election – which was due by April next year – would have to be held within 70 days.
The economist has been running a technocrat administration since the fall of Silvio Berlusconi's government in November 2011.
The business tycoon stepped down over a sex scandal as Italy's debt crisis deepened.
But Berlusconi has vowed to run for a fifth time as prime minister because he had a "sense of responsibility" for the country's problems.
Italians have never warmed to Monti preferring the outspoken media magnet.
But Berlusconi's critics say his priority if he wins power again will be to protect his business interests.

Officials make their statement amongst OPEC requests to Norway and other oil producing countries for a decrease to keep pace with falling oil prices.
In its "Statoil in Norway 2020" strategy document, Statoil describes how the company's activities can be "depoliticised", writes Dagens Næringsliv.
OPEC holds a crisis meeting in Vienna this week, but cannot save the oil price alone. "Norway, Russia, and Mexico must contribute," Qatar's former Oil Minister thinks.
Pollution levels from Norske Shell's Ormen Lange facility have been up to nine times higher than permitted each year since 2008.
Statoil pays NOK 2.4bn to cancel the contract with the Stena Carron drillship in Angola. The Angola adventure has been a disappointment so far.
The legendary Sioux warn of war against the facility.
Who will be the next to be eaten? There is a flurry of speculation after oil service company Halliburton swallowed Baker Hughes for around NOK 235bn.
The company wants to axe 140 onshore positions, terminate contracts with 270 consultants, and send home a a bunch of foreigners working for the company in Norway.
Free drilling rig capacity should be used to plug wells that are not shut for good, Industri Energi thinks.
The oil service company acquires competition Baker Hughes for some USD 34.6bn (about NOK 235bn).
The researchers struggled with increased availability and demands for increased efficiency. The Labour Inspectorate insisted that the oil company put things in order.
Oil and gas investments are needed to meet future demand among climate change, Statoil CEO Eldar Sætre says.
Oil service companies Halliburton and Baker Hughes are located fairly close to each other in Tananger. Employees now fear that a merger might mean several redundancies.
Norway Baker Hughes CEO Eivind Østerhus was visiting friends in London when rumours of the proposed Halliburton acquisition began circulating on the Internet, Thursday evening.
The two oil giants could be united, US media say.
Deputy leader Tone Bjørnov at Noreco stepped down from her position at the oil company after just two weeks on the board. The company has been under special Oslo Stock Exchange scrutiny since 15th October.
Employees were told in September that between 100 and 150 would have to go. The oil service company returned a better-than-expected result, Wednesday.
The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association is both optimistic and concerned.
New redundancy round for the rig company.
Airlines already noticed the wildest oil boom ever had passed in 2013, Avinor's travel habits survey shows.
Rig company North Atlantic Drilling in Stavanger and Russia's Rosneft have postponed a huge multi-billion kroner deal until the end of May 2015.
1,500 contract staff in Egersund having to go is completely normal, Aker Solutions says.
*No major assignments for winter sparks Egersund downsizing. *Employed yard staff shielded.
The move applies to the Transcoean Spitsbergen and Songa Trym until end-2014. This may be extended.
Oil industry employee numbers exploded by 37,000 to 153,000 between 2007-13. That was the top of the oil boom and the Stavanger region's golden age, according to oil professor Eirik Vatne.
Oil industry downturn affects 43 employees at IKM Subsea.
The oil company thinks applying the brakes is not the solution at this time. One main aim is to begin oil production in the Barents Sea.
"It's an extremely important contract," CEO Kristin Færøvik says of the Ekofisk agreement worth some NOK 1bn.
A pipeline shortage has created problems tar sands recovery in Canada. A solution might now be on the way.
Profits from state-owned oil and gas fields sink by 35 per cent.
Future development of the Johan Sverdrup field will create some 51,000 jobs in Norway, Statoil believes.

From The Sea: Ceviche De Vieira Recipe
Aug 27, 2014 1:00 pm
Fresh scallops marinated with chili and lime juice
Chef and restaurateur Scott Myers' love of Mexican food began on his first visit to the country at age seven, spending hours in the kitchen with his grandmother and aunts, helping prepare recipes that had been passed down through generations — salsas, moles, enchiladas, tamales, sopas, chiles rellenos, chilaquiles and more. His recent book, Authentic Mexican Cooking, is a tribute to the cuisine that inspires him. Find the freshest, best quality scallops you can, and don't cook them a bit. That's what ceviche is for.
Servings: 4
1 pound kitchen-ready scallops
4 limes
3 avocados, ripe and aromatic
1 aromatic tomato
1 handful of cilantro leaves
1 Serrano chili pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
tortilla chips, to serve
- If needed, remove the scallops from the coral, wash them, then carefully dry them with a paper towel.
- Halve them lengthwise and lay them in a flat mold.
- Squeeze out the limes and pour the juice over the scallops. Let them marinate for fifteen minutes at room temperature.
- Halve the avocados and remove the pit.
- With a melon ball cutter, cut out the pulp into ball form.
- Remove the stalks from the tomato, wash it and dice it.
- Wash the cilantro, shake it dry and finely chop the leaves.
- Wearing kitchen gloves, finely chop the Serrano chili pepper.
- Drain the lime stock.
- Mix the scallops with the rest of the ingredients except for the avocado balls and arrange the scallop mix onto a plate.
- Spread the avocado balls over the scallops and serve immediately.
Author's Tip: When marinating, use a clear glass container because then you can see if all of the ingredients are sitting in the lime juice.

A new discovery from researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah concerning a fundamental understanding about how DNA works will produce a "180-degree change in focus" for researchers who study how gene packaging regulates gene activity, including genes that cause cancer and other diseases. The discovery, by Bradley R. Cairns, PhD, Senior Director of Basic Science at HCI and a professor in the Department of Oncological Sciences, is reported in this week's online issue of the journal Nature.
Cairns's research focuses on chromatin remodeling complexes (CRCs), which are cellular protein complexes that behave like motors, expanding or compacting different portions of DNA to either express or silence genes, respectively. Before, scientists thought that the motor within CRCs waits at rest until it receives instructions. Cairns and co-author Cedric R. Clapier show that the motor within a key CRC responsible for gene packaging and assembly is intrinsically turned on, and instead requires specific instructions to turn it off.
"Many articles in the research literature show that CRCs are mutated in cancer cells. They are intimately involved in regulating gene expression—responsible for correctly packaging genes that control growth proliferation and for unpackaging tumor suppressors," said Cairns. "This research reveals principles by which CRC mutations could cause cancer."
Chromosomes are made of long DNA strands compressed around nodes of protein called nucleosomes; when DNA is compressed, the genes in that area are turned off. Some CRCs, called disassembly CRCs, act as motors that unwind sections of DNA chains, making genes active for a given cell process. Another type, called assembly CRCs, rewinds the DNA chain, recompressing it when the process is complete. The unwind-rewind cycle is repeated continuously throughout a cell's life.
In this study, Cairns and Clapier focused on assembly CRCs. "Before this research, we thought that the motor was off unless a protein coming from another part of the cell turned it on," said Cairns. "Researchers have been searching for the switch by looking at the CRC motor to see what binds to it.
"As it turns out, we discovered that the CRC motor already carries on its flank a 'switch' that inhibits its action until a marker sequence, located on the nucleosome, is encountered. The marker flips the inhibitor switch and allows the CRC to crank the DNA chain back around the nucleosome, promoting gene packaging and silencing" Cairns said. "Our results change where future researchers should be looking to understand how CRCs are regulated—not at the CRC motor itself, but at the 'switches' that flank the motor."
The study also describes a measuring function on the CRC that checks for the correct distance between one nucleosome and the next, telling the motor to switch off at the proper time, a function needed for gene silencing.
Cairns's lab will now examine this same switching concept in disassembly remodelers. "There are additional remodeler families with alternative functions, like DNA repair," said Cairns. "We think this concept will apply to them as well."

Ron Paul Clarifies: I Meant What I Said About Chris Kyle and Yes That Was Me
He issued a clarification -- which is in fact just a confirmation that he meant what he said when he ghoulishly blamed the victim for his own murder.
His statement here-- that unconstitutional wars have "endless consequences."
Which as it stands is an unobjectionable enough statement... the problem is of course that he gleefully pointed out that Chris Kyle got what he deserved, when he observed "Live by the sword, die by the sword."
There are nicer, softer hippies, and there are harder, nastier hippies. The first sort might attempt to maintain some distinction between his hatred of war and his hatred of the individual warrior, who, after all, is just doing a job that society has asked him to do and can't even refuse to do that job once he signs up. (Apart from a never-invoked Nuremberg exception.)
The nasty hippie hates soldiers just as much as he hates war. Because Ron Paul was a politician, running in military-supporting Texas, he pretended to care about the soldiers themselves. (Precisely as he pretended to be interested in fighting the Taliban, when he voted for the AUMF right before an election, and then immediately retracted his support immediately thereafter.)
Now that he's out of office he can stop pretending, and so he lets his freak flag fly and giddily applauds as the militarists get their due.
Glenn Beck congratulates Ron Paul on joining the Westboro Baptist Church (the crazies who protest military funerals because "God Hates Fags").
And in fact he's not exaggerating. He may have been exaggerating when he said that, but recent events have rescued the statement from the category of exaggeration. The Westboro Cultists and Idolators really did ride to Doctor Paul's defense (Update II).
A Medal of Honor winner, Dakota Meyer, asks if he's lost his mind.
Nope. He's just freed now to express it honestly. He's the same soaking-in-your-own-hatred nasty hippie he's always been.

NOPD: 2 men steal Jeep, items from 2 women with 3-year-old girl
Updated On: Aug 06 2013 11:21:42 AM CDT
NOPD says two men held up two women and a 3-year-old girl and took off in their Jeep in Marigny.
According to police, two African-American men approached the victims at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday as they were getting in their Jeep in the 500 block of Marigny Street.
One of the men pointed a shiny, black firearm at the driver and demanded she give up her watch and her vehicle, according to police.
The other man approached the woman in the passenger seat and demanded that she give up her watch as well, police say.
Police say the victims pleaded with the men to let them take the 3-year-old girl out of the Jeep, and they complied before driving off with the victims' purses and other belongings inside.
Police describe one man as 18 to 20 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall with short hair, a thin build wearing a white T-shirt.
Police describe the other man as about 30 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, a medium build wearing a dark cap.
The stolen vehicle is a white 2007 Jeep Compass with the Louisiana license plate PNT800, according to police.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.

"Why didn't you join chorus then? I would have been your teacher, but if you like it then why not do it. Easy A for doing something that you like is all." Phoenix shrugged as though it was an obvious matter.
"Why didn't you join chorus then? I would have been your teacher, but if you like it then why not do it. Easy A for doing something that you like is all." Phoenix shrugged as though it was an obvious matter.
"I don't like singing in front of people," Abby answered simply, "So I just keep my singing to the showers, or when I'm alone. Besides, I don't think I sound that good. All the more reason to not join a chorus class. That would also mean you'd have me three times a day minus the fact I live here now. We can't be together 24/7, no matter how much you want it." she chuckled at the last part as she finished putting away her clothes, and set the luggage in the closet.
"Please don't flatter yourself. The only reason I'm fine with this is because I owe Scholar. No reason more," he told her harshly before gaining a calmer look. "You're voice is beautiful by the way," he told her quietly, walking away.
Abby was flabbergasted. She became flustered as her cheeks flushed a deep scarlet. She wanted to retort what he said, but all that could come out of her mouth was gibberish. She just sat on her bed and hid her face.
"Stupid, evil, jerkface of a teacher..." she grumbled, "Telling me I have a lovely voice and all that crap... why does he have to be attractive?! oh my god!"
Soon it came to be night, Scholar called from the kitchen. "Ace, Abigail! Dinner!" Phoenix walked into the kitchen to see dinner was chinese food, with lots of choices, some soda was on the table as well. Most likely for Abby. Phoenix himself chose to drink a bottle of water as he ate some noodles.
Abby walked into the kitchen and saw the food. She grabbed some of the general tso's chicken, and some rice. She had a can of regular soda before sitting down.
"May I make a request?" Abby asked Scholar politely, "Could you please just call me Abby? I don't really like being called Abigail... if you don't mind." she then started eating, making sure not to look at Phoenix. She still couldn't face him after that compliment. She would just get embarrassed and grumble.
"Oh yes. Why didn't you say something before. If Abby is your preference then I will call you by that name," Scholar told her, taking some rice and soy sauce. "Tell me Abby what is it you enjoy?"
Phoenix pretended not to care what was transpiring, but in actuality he was listening to them, curious to learn more about the girl himself.
"Well, I like listening to music, and I sing when I'm alone," Abby started as she thought about what she liked actually, "I like sleeping because it helps me to temporarily escape the real world. I like being in the outdoors. Hiking and climbing mostly, but it doesn't exist around here. I like Cards against Humanity...that's my favorite game. I can be a total jerk and not feel bad. I also like food...I love food. Food is amazing stuff. I like to cook food too."
"Well that's wonderful news. I told you earlier that Phoenix and enjoys singing. As for hiking, well we'll have to go sometime. I would quite enjoy it myself. Its not as common anymore. Neither of us can cook but we'll buy you the supplies so you can anytime you. I'm curious as to what this Cards against Humanity game is though," Scholar replied to her interests.
"It's a very offensive, vulgar card game," Abby started off, "Lots of things you wouldn't want someone like me hearing or witnessing. It's hilarious though. It's a screwed up version of Apples to Apples." she then resumed eating, not wanting to be rude by talking with her mouth full of food.
"Interesting. I must try this game," Scholar said determinately. Phoenix just shook his head at his friend.
A few weeks later the two sat eating and discussing their days. Over the weeks, Abby and Phoenix managed to get on comfortable ground.
"So, what's going to be on this test that I have to study for?" Abby asked as she took a bite out of the chicken she had made for dinner.
"Cells, and natural relationships. Symbiotic, etc. If you're having trouble with some of the material then let me know," Phoenix told her looking bored.
"Ace how are things going with that other teacher?"
Phoenix smirked at this. "They're going well. That's all I will say though," he teased.
"What teacher?" Abby asked, looking at Phoenix. Over the few weeks she has been living with Scholar and Phoenix, she had begun to develop a little "crush" on Phoenix. She wouldn't ever admit that though. She just kept eating, while trying to listen in unnoticed.
"Nadine. I still can't believe that I never saw her before this year. How long has it been to find such a desirable female," Phoenix smiled.
"Well not that many are desirable. And love with humans is illegal."

LJWorld.com weblogs Dispatches from the Academy
Day 8: The other side of the ticket
Journal-World reporters Shaun Hittle and Ian Cummings have attended the Lawrence Police Department's 2013 Citizens' Academy twice per week for the past month. On Wednesdays and Fridays, they highlight a few things they learned from the night before. This week's post recounts the eighth and final night of the course.
On patrol: the traffic stop
I saw a minivan weaving, swerving, speeding, and I decided to pull it over and check it out.
I followed the steps in order, as I'd been trained. I pulled my patrol car up within about a car-length of the van and unfastened my seat belt, so I could get out fast. When I hit the blue and red lights, the van hit the gas, so I had to race to keep up. We swerved around a curve before the driver of the van gave in and pulled over to the side of the road.
Officer Guile, riding shotgun, reminded me to park at an angle behind the van and "power it up" with our spotlight. Guile lives and breathes this kind of police work, and even after more than 10 years on the force, he says patrol is where he wants to be. As I stepped out of the car, I remembered his advice: keep your flashlight in your left hand; leave your dominant right hand free to reach for your gun.
Now, I didn't have a gun, because this was Citizens' Academy. We practiced traffic stops Tuesday night, driving Lawrence Police Department patrol cars at Clinton Lake Adult Sports Complex. Officers pretended to be drunk and disorderly drivers, and we tried pulling them over after some coaching from Officers Josh Guile and David Ernst.
If you've been following our "dispatches" from Citizens' Academy, you'll note a familiar theme: it's not as easy as it looks. As I learned by doing the exercise myself and following my classmates as they went through it, there are a lot of hazards to keep in mind at once.
Hazards of the job
In December, two Topeka police officers were shot and killed while approaching a suspect in a car, and in the Academy we had just heard the story of a former Lawrence police officer whose career was ended by an auto accident during a traffic stop.
In 2011,126 police officers nationwide were killed by gunfire, auto accidents, and intentional vehicular assault. As I saw when I caught up to the minivan, there is just no way of knowing what you are dealing with when you pull over a vehicle, especially on a dark night.
Parking the patrol car at an angle behind the van, I left the nose sticking out into the road to push traffic away from us. This also put the patrol car's engine block between me and the van, in case someone in there decided to take a shot at me as I stepped out. With the patrol car's spotlight on the van's rear windows, I could see there were at least two people inside.
I needed to watch that van. But I also needed to watch the traffic going by behind me, especially as I stepped into the road and around the nose of my car. As I walked up alongside the van, I used the flashlight to check out the interior. When I reached the window, I remembered to keep my face back from the door, so it didn't hit me in the face if the driver pushed it open.
Watch the hands and keep them talking
"Good evening; I'm Officer Cummings," I said. "You want to turn the radio down, please, and let me see your license and registration?"
The driver was acting drunk and gave me a fake ID first before handing me the real one. His buddy in the passenger seat was busy throwing up out the window. I asked the driver where he was coming from, and he said the name of a local strip club.
"Excellent," I said. "That's great."
It made no difference to me what these guys did for fun; my concern was keeping them occupied with answering questions and keeping their hands where I could see them. The patter keeps us all busy, and I didn't notice anything suspicious in the car, apart from the fact that these guys had been drinking.
The passenger still had his hand in the pocket of his sweatshirt, though, and I didn't like that. I told him to put his hands where I could see them, which he did, but he also lurched toward me through the window as if to throw up on my shoes.
Officer Guile and I decided to let them go, in the interest of time, even though each time we pulled these guys over their behavior seemed to get worse. Drunk is one thing, but other times they got rowdy and filmed us with their phones, or put on phony Russian accents and claimed they were terrified of being arrested and made to disappear. It got to the point where I thought of asking Guile to let me borrow his Taser for a minute.
No excuses in Citizens' Academy
At the end of the exercise, the play-acting officers in the van told me I did a pretty good job of talking my way through the stop, but also that I missed a few things.
For instance, I was so busy chatting with the driver about strip clubs and checking his license, watching two pairs hands and looking for traffic behind me that I didn't see the pistol the driver had tucked in the corner of the dashboard and the bags of cocaine sitting plainly in the passenger's cup holder.
On the other hand, the passenger said, it's a good thing I told him to get his hands out of his pockets, because he had a pistol in there, too.
I kicked myself over the missed guns and dope as I climbed back into the patrol car. It was disappointing. There are just so many unpredictable variables in any given traffic stop, and a lot happens quickly in real time.
I once fantasized about leaving my reporter's notebook behind and becoming a homicide detective. But on my last night of Citizens' Academy, I decided I'd be very lucky if they let me drive a squad car.

2013 NCAA Tournament Preview: No. 6 Butler vs. No. 3 Marquette
Don't ask me how, but the No. 3 Marquette Golden Eagles were able to escape the No. 14 Davidson Wildcats. Two three-pointers by Jamil Wilson had something to do with it, along with a game-winning layup by none other than Vander Blue. Marquette will take on the No. 6 Butler Bulldogs in the third round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
Well, this is going to be one heck of a matchup, so I hope everyone is ready. These two teams met earlier in the year, with Butler coming up on top.
What to Watch For
This one is a no brainer: Butler's Rotnei Clarke and Marquette's Vander Blue. Both players have had great years and both teams rely on them.
Clarke had 17 points in the second round and surprisingly only shot 2-8 from behind the arc. If you have not seen this kid play, then you have really been missing out. Clarke is one of the best three-point shooters in the nation and he will make people pay. In fact, he sunk a buzzer-beater against Marquette earlier in the year, so the Golden Eagles have definitely not forgotten about it.
Blue also led his team in scoring in the second round with 16 points. Both of these players could go off at any given time and will be very exciting to watch in the next round.
Butler is a great team, but it is not beating Marquette twice in the same season. Both teams do not score a whole lot of points, so turnovers could be huge in this one, but that is kind of the case in every game. Although it would be great to see some more Butler and Clarke magic, lightning does not strike twice.

Life science KM leaders discuss data search, reuse

When KM leaders from pharmaceutical giants, midsize companies and startups gathered at an event in August, a common theme was the duel challenge of making search of internal documents more efficient and getting researchers to see enough value in sharing information that they will change business practices....

Never wanted anyone
Now somebody's here
Never missed his kisses
Now I need him near
Never felt this happy
Never felt this strange
Funny how things change
Funny how things change
Lived my life in starlight
Never saw the sun
Thought that I was heartless
Now my heart's been won
Thought that I was happy
Thought that love was strange
Funny how things change
Funny how things change
Walked into the fire
Smiled at the pain
Then when I had healed myself
I ran out in the rain
Thought that I was crazy
Thought that I was strange
Now I know I'm normal

Now I know I'm human

Police arrest 3 for threatening Kashmir girl band
Three people have been arrested in Indian-controlled Kashmir for allegedly threatening the first Kashmiri all-girl rock band, which disbanded after its debut concert following abusive comments on social media and a demand from a top Muslim cleric that they stop performing.
Associated Press
Three people have been arrested in Indian-controlled Kashmir for allegedly threatening the first Kashmiri all-girl rock band, which disbanded after its debut concert following abusive comments on social media and a demand from a top Muslim cleric that they stop performing.
The three have been booked for criminal intimidation and violating Internet laws, police officer Afadul Mujtaba said Thursday. If convicted, they could be jailed for up to seven years each. They were arrested Wednesday night
The controversy over the band Pragaash, or "First Light" in Kashmiri, highlights the simmering tension between modernity and tradition in Muslim-majority Kashmir, where an armed uprising against Indian rule and a crackdown by government forces have killed more than 68,000 people since 1989.
Police are looking for at least a dozen other people whose comments were abusive. However, no action has been taken against the cleric for describing the girls' band as a non-Islamic activity.
The arrests came as one of the band members told India's CNN-IBN channel that the group had decided to stop singing because of the cleric's edict, and not merely because of the online abuses. "Everything was going fine till the fatwa was issued," she said, referring to the cleric's order.
The TV channel did not identify the band member, who also said the band members respected the cleric's decision because he was "more aware of our religion." She urged the media to stop reporting on the case.
Pragaash performed in public for the first time in December in Srinagar, the main city in Indian-controlled Kashmir. It won third place in an annual "Battle of the Bands" rock show organized by an Indian paramilitary force as part of a campaign to win hearts and minds in the region.
Soon after the show, Kashmiri pages on social networking sites like Facebook hotly debated the band. Some wondered whether the performance was appropriate in Muslim-dominated Kashmir, while others raised broader questions on the Islamic approach to music and the role of women in the society.
Many commenters backed the girls, but others were abusive, hurling sexual slurs and calling for them and their families to be expelled from the region.
The controversy deepened Saturday after Omar Abdullah, the region's top elected official, promised a police probe into the threats and wrote on Twitter that "the talented teenagers should not let themselves be silenced by a handful of morons."
The all-girl band then came under the scrutiny of various groups.
Mufti Bashiruddin Ahmad, Kashmir's state-sponsored cleric, issued a fatwa on Sunday ordering the girls to "stop from these activities and not to get influenced by the support of political leadership."
Kashmir's main separatist alliance, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, also did not approve of the band, calling the band "a step toward Westernization of young girls."
However, the alliance also distanced itself from the cleric's edict, and denied the girls were under threat. It said the Indian media was "blowing up a small issue with a purpose to defame the Kashmiri freedom struggle."

Even though that pilot was a little low and flat on his approach, I can tell you from my personal experience that at that point he would not have been able to see the vehicle. It was under the nose of the plane and he was most probably looking ahead at the touchdown point.
Planes have the right of way. the driver is at fault. The pilot should have done a steeper approach which would have let him have a better view. Hell of a solo experience.

I don't buy it. I'm a professional videographer by trade- for almost 30 years and at one glance it doesn't seem right to me.
1. The camera work seems to be jittery on purpose. Like some college kid shooting a music video. I think I could tell the difference between some guy shooting poorly and someone doing it on purpose. This looks like it was done on purpose. And it moves to pre-planned points in a sequence. Sham-WOW.
2. the dirt and noise on the image are done in post production. I know because I edit with gear that can do this easy.
3. The video was shot with a video camera and they tried to make it look like film-but not very effectively.
4. New born babies eyes don't look like that. I know I was there for my two sons to be born.
This is a sham people. Move on…nothing to see here.

I knew of several ex-military special forces and marine recon from Vietnam era that went down there to patrol. The media points to the extremist group or individual to them all look bad. There are some people down there trying to do the right thing and being patriots for standing up to defend the state and the US as a whole. If people knew half of the story of what's going on down there, they just wouldn't believe it. We are at war. Murders at midnight, kidnappings, beheadings, Taliban-style car bombs, teams coming up through the border in full para-military gear with automatic weapons and the latest night vision bringing OTM (other-than Mexican) across the border. Snipers set up in mountainsides to monitor the cartel paths for drug smuggling. That's a taste of what is happening, and will increase in our near future. Someone please do something.

This was innocent. It might have been an incident if he had done bad jokes, or shucking and jiving type of BS that were the heigth of bad movie stereotypes of a long-gone era.
He was trying to honor a man deserving of it. An innocent act that carried whatever bad connotations the teachers and others put into it. People need to let go of race "chip-on-the-shoulder" and just act like the color of a persons skin is only a partial description of the individual. It's their actions and words that define their charactor much better.
