The Street Glide tries hard to bridge the gap between full-on tourer and custom street bike. The bike is based on Harley's spine frame touring chassis but is 'slammed' for a low mean look. The twin cam 96 cubic inch (1584cc) engine hauls the bike briskly to a comfortable 80mph cruising speed with just the right amount of vibes. As ...

Written by James Bernstein Friday, 15 March 2013 00:00
The announcement last week by Northrop Grumman Corp. (Grumman to those of us who have been on this Island awhile) that it will transfer 850 jobs from its Bethpage facility to Florida and California should come as no shock.
The company, once Long Island's largest and best-known employer, has been sending jobs South for more than two decades. At one point, the in the 1980s, the company employed 25,000 people on the Island, built the Navy's premier fighter, the F-14 Tomcat, and, in the 1960s, built the Lunar Lander that took Apollo astronauts to the moon.
What is surprising, and disheartening, is the reaction of most Long Island officials, in both the public and private sector. And that reaction is, let's not stir the pot. No questions asked as to why Long Island continues to lose high-tech, high-paying jobs. No questions about why it is so difficult to grow businesses here. No questions about why, even with high costs, California is able to grow and maintain a Silicon Valley and the Boston area is able to grow and maintain a high-tech corridor.
Instead, there is mumbling here, as there always is when good jobs leave, about the strides we are making to replace those jobs. So far, those strides, after 20 years and more of trying, have not made an awful lot of progress.
The Long Island Association, the region's largest business and civic lobbying group, seems to be saying the loss of the 850 jobs is really no big deal. After all, the LIA says, the defense industry is now only a small part of the Island's economy. True, but jobs in the industry tend to be among the highest-paying on the Island. And isn't the LIA economist Pearl Kamer always saying that for each job lost at Northrop Grumman, two to three others are lost outside the company, which will now need fewer vendors? So that 850 could be a loss of as many as 3,000 jobs.
And what will the LIA say when some 800 homes on the Island go on the market as those who have lost their jobs leave the area? And what will the LIA say when this "small sector" disappears entirely, leaving the Island with fewer high-tech, high-paying jobs. What will the LIA say? In all probability, they will say, It's no big deal!
So what has happened to this Island of ours? At one time, we had a booming defense industry. When it all began to disappear at the end of the Cold War in 1991, there was much yammering about software, medical and bio-technology and healthcare jobs cropping up. But all that seems to have cropped up are more places to shop in both Nassau and Suffolk and more plans to build more shopping malls. Of course, there are efforts to make things work. But the only image they conjure up, for me, is Sisyphus rolling that rock up the hill, only to have it roll back to the bottom again.
One of the problems is that we on Long Island have developed a bad rep across the country. We are perceived, as people who do nothing but complain, are unable to make any decisions about our future, and are unwilling to take chances. Most of our politicians have been of little use in the economic battles that take place between the states. We keep losing. The South and the West keep winning. We are known as the place where JWoww calls home. And she doesn't spend much time here. While there is no easy solution, there is a way to make a good start: our politicians and business leaders need to admit that the loss of these jobs is indeed a "big deal" and to stop trying to paper over our losses with bland reassurances that, somehow, the best is yet to come.
That's a sure recipe for a scenario where we keep losing jobs, and adding more shopping malls.

Sarah-Jane Morris – vocals, Henry Thomas – bass guitar, Tim Cansfield – guitar, Tony Remy – guitar, Martym Barker – drums, Adriano Adewale – percussion, John Eacott – trumpet, Suntou Susso – kora, Janine Johnson (+ 2 more) – backing vocals
"Leave your preconceptions at home," begins one London critic's assessment of sensual singer-songwriter Sarah Jane Morris, who straddles rock, blues, jazz and soul with a goosebump-raising four octave range that rumbles from the heels of her size eight shoes to the tips of her flame-red mane. This outing sees Sarah Jane promoting the brand new Album Bloody Rain, celebrating the people of Africa, while issuing an urgent call to action to right the wrongs they suffer.
Famed for her association with the Communards in the mid-80s and infamous for a banned rendition of the classic Me and Mrs Jones, Sarah Jane Morris has always attracted as much attention for her politics as for her soul-driven, seismic voice. Many solo albums later, pop stardom on the continent, and a diverse set of musical collaborations on record, film and stage, Morris continues to steer her unorthodox career to greater heights.
In 2012, Sarah Jane launched her incredible "Cello Songs" with Enrico Melozzi in the UK. This album was launched in Rome at the end of 2011 and she was invited to perform at the Vatican on 21st December with the orchestra and Dominic Miller. The performance was broadcast live on Italian TV! This is the single "Fast Car":-
The first performance in the UK was at the prestigious Hay Literary Festival on June 6th The grand launch will be at the Purcell Rooms on November 14th as part of the London Jazz Festival, followed by dates around the UK.
Sarah Jane's last album was "Where it Hurts" which is a stunning co-written and co-produced album with Dominic Miller (Sting's right hand man and co-writer of 'Shape My Heart') and Martyn Barker (Billy Bragg and The Blokes). The Album was launched at Ronnie Scotts (London) and Blue Note (Milan).
In 2006, she celebrated her 25-year career with the release of a double-CD, After All These Years. This 34-track compilation, which went Top 40 in Europe, includes acoustic sessions, dance remixes and live performances that showcase the true spirit and energy of this charismatic, uncompromising performer. The CD traces Sarah Jane's career from her early days with political bands The Republic and The Happy End, to chart success, solo singles and unreleased live tracks, and contains a new bossa nova version of her cult hit Me and Mrs Jones. To celebrate her hit with the Communards, Sarah Jane released a new rendition of Don't Leave Me This Way, twenty years after it hit #1 in Britain and became the best selling single of the year.
Her international success includes hits in Japan, Germany, Greece (two #1 records), and Italy, where she was been awarded the key to the city of Verona, honoured with a European Grammy and won the international San Remo song festival (only for the award to be swiped by runner-up Grace Jones!).
"A voice that can excite shivers of passion and delight … Soaring, swooping, sensual and sophisticated, this voice is more than a style, it's a force of nature … Torch song, soul standard or smoky blues, the message remains constant: human passion with a dazzling voice." (Neil Spencer, The Observer).
"Those in-the-know rate her as one of the world's great jazz-soul vocalists of the past twenty years and more." (Vogue Italia)

The Patriots say they don't have any comment on published reports that tight end Rob Gronkowski has an infection in his broken arm that could keep him out into the season.
The Boston Herald reported on Sunday that Gronkowski has an infection in the area where a metal plate was installed to repair his left forearm. Doctors will have to wait for the infection to go away to replace the plate, and Gronkowski would need 10 weeks after that to recover, the paper said.
However, agent Drew Rosenhaus told WSVN-TV in Miami said that any speculation about Gronkowski missing regular-season time is "way off." Rosenhaus said nothing has been decided about a possible fourth procedure.
"I'm not sure what's going to happen," Rosenhaus said via NFL.com. "There's no surgery scheduled, and we're not sure he's going to need one."
The shirtless-dancing tight end had 10 touchdown catches as a rookie and then set an NFL record for the position with 17 touchdowns in 2011. But he has been injured in each of the last two seasons, including the broken arm he sustained blocking for an extra point late in a blowout win over Indianapolis on Nov. 18.

Onkyo certainly knows how to make an entrance. The company just debuted three new receiver models. However, the belle of the ball has got to be the TX-NR5010 Network AVR.
This 9-channel flagship model supports the latest DTS Neo:X codec, meaning that it can convert just about any audio source into 11.4-channel surround sound. Also, the company says that this model is the first time an AV component has featured Cisco Linksys' SimpleTap technology. Double whammy!
Onkyo is also releasing the 9-channel TX-NR3010 and the 7-channel TX-NR1010 into its 2012 lineup.
All three models include THX Ultra2 Plus certification, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room equalization with channel upmixing from DTS Neo:X, and support for Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic IIz. The entire lineup will also feature plenty of networking goodies, 3D support, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, and Silicon Image's InstaPrevue picture-in-picture video input preview and selection technology.
Other features across the line will include Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry, ISF video calibration, Onkyo's Dual Core Video Engine, and the HQV Vida VHD1900 chip with Marvell's Qdeo technology for upscaling to 4K.
As far as some specifics, that top-of-the-line TX-NR5010 will deliver 220 watts per channel, with four subwoofer outputs, a massive toroidal transformer, gold-plated AV terminals, and a $2,999 MSRP. The TX-NR3010 is similar with the four sub outputs, but drops the power down to 200 watts per channel and the price to $2,299.
Last, but not least, the 7.2-channel TX-NR1010 packs in the punch of 200 watts per channel and two subwoofer outputs. That one can be had for $1,799 when Onkyo ships all three this month.

The ball part of this blanket was much bigger than I expected. It's probably about 6-7" wide..bigger than a newborns head for sure! But it's still super cute. I bought it for my friends baby boy to put in the basket of stuff for her shower. When I took it out of the box my 18 month old ran over and layed her head on it immediately! She wouldn't let it go!! I let her keep it since it was way too big for that basket anyways! :-)

I liked the personal examples of the instructor that were included. It made it very helpful to hear about real examples. I am recommending this course to my boss and will be taking part 2.
I really learned a lot with this course. It was very interesting and everything seemed to be so true. I really took notice with the items the instructor was talking about and saw these things to be true in my work place. I really feel that I have an extra "boost" to be a great supervisor. Thanks for the course and I look forward to taking the next one.
I've been involved in project engineering for a couple of years now. This course was able to structure the things that I'm dealing with on a day to day basis in an educational form for me. It will be of good help for my current job as well as for future jobs in higher management. Thanks and I'm looking forward to Fundamentals of Supervision and Management II.
Taking this course was the best decision of my professional career! I found that I was able to apply the lessons almost immediately to my work life. I also found myself paying more attention to my interaction with my family members. I'm glad I registered for the second part of this course. I can't wait for it to start.
The course satisfied my needs in the current position I work in. It gave me some additional tools and background information that will assist me daily. Thank you for the excellent course.
I have been in my career 20 years and this course is a wonderful way to stay connected with the essence of Supervision and Management. Thank you very much!
I would like to take a moment to thank the instructor for really outlining the meaning of what supervision and management is and should be. These courses have been easier to digest with the many examples provided. There is a lot of great information to process!
Taking this course is one of the best decisions that I've made since being in a managerial position. I wish I had taken it nine months ago. It can be very difficult or rather challenging supervising your co-workers, especially those who have been there many years before.
I definitely plan to take the part two -- I need it. Your class material was great! Everything read just as if I was sitting in front of you. Thanks so much. Excellent.
The class was GREAT! Thank you for the great lecture materials and information :) See you in Part II soon!

Mourners mark 10-year anniversary of Bali bombing
Ten years ago, a nightclub bombing on the Indonesian island of Bali killed 202 people and injured hundreds more. A decade on, survivors and families of victims alike are gathering to commemorate the event. Since the attack, Indonesia has clamped down hard on Islamist terror groups, but the terrorist threat still has not completely disappeared.

On the two hottest days of our soggy summer, team Grazia (28 strong) headed to Gaddesden Place in Hertfordshire to shoot our humungous 34 page fashion special, the biggest story we've ever attempted. Our brave models struggled under bulky layers of double cashmere and knee boots, whilst our makeup team kept faces glow free with bucket loads of Chanel powder (unlike team Grazia, melting into puddles even though dressed in slightly more appropriate outfits).
We wanted to showcase the high drama looks of AW12 in a way that combined them with more practical outfits, so decided to shoot as if we were filming our own costume drama. Easier said than done, but with the most amazing technical crew and Ben, our genius photographer, we whizzed through the shots, feeling more and more thrilled with each one. Special thanks to our beautiful Lusitano horse, Saloia - even though she caused palpitations when she decided to bolt whilst wearing a £12k Hermes saddle. Calls of "never mind the horse, save the saddle" echoed around the valley – no names mentioned.
Highlights included feeble urbanites getting hives from sitting in such fresh grass; Nika eating bacon rolls in hand beaded Giles; Andrew our New York fashion editor trying to sneak Gyp the dog into his luggage; Flaviana doing the Dougie dressed in Vanessa Bruno; and Anastasiya, Sam and Alex diving straight into the pool after 2 hard days ofshooting. The Grazia team were tempted to join them, but seeing their model physiques – ermm… not so much!

Managers are one of the most essential parts of any successful employee assistance program. They are in touch daily with their employees' job performance and are aware of those times when an employee is dealing with a personal issue or when an employee's accomplishments fall below the usual standard.
Tanner EAP is a management resource that can be used to assist employees. If the manager has been made aware of an employee's personal concerns, he or she may encourage the employee to make an appointment and provide them with additional information about Tanner EAP, including location, phone number and the confidential nature of Tanner EAP's services.
When an employee's job performance is affected, a manager may suggest Tanner EAP as a way to resolve performance problems through professional help and thus prevent future interference with job expectations. If you are concerned about an employee, please call Tanner EAP at 770.834.8327.
Most of the time, the only information a manager will receive from Tanner EAP is that the employee attended the initial session. Unless the employee gives written permission, no information of a personal nature is provided to anyone other than the Tanner EAP professional staff. When there are job-related issues in need of resolution, the employee may choose to involve the manager, but will be required to sign a release for appropriate information to be exchanged. If the employee is able to resolve his or her personal problems, the manager will typically see improvement in the employee's job performance.
Managers also may call the Tanner EAP for themselves. After all, even managers can experience personal problems. In addition, they may consult with Tanner EAP staff regarding group or individual job performance issues, teamwork or team building concerns or when dealing with a workplace crisis. Tanner EAP also provides a number of staff development programs that can be tailored to fit the needs of the specific workplace.

Electric & Hybrid Cars: New Load, or New Resource?
The industry must join a growing chorus in calling for new technology.
to 30 minutes dramatically improves the revenue potential of vehicles providing this service. When regulation resources are used appropriately, as we assume a maximum of 15-minute dispatch duration, as the capacity of the plug circuit always will serve as a binding constraint and thus dictate the potential annual revenue from providing this service. Larger circuits could be installed to address this constraint at a cost.
An issue that is not yet fully understood for storage resources providing regulation relates to the random nature of providing regulation services. As mentioned above, the storage resource would need to release energy on to the grid when a regulation up signal is received and absorb energy (charge) when a regulation down cycle is received. A prolonged period of regulation down, for example, could result in the battery pack becoming fully charged. In this case, the vehicle would be unable to provide regulation down if the need persisted. Related to this issue is what has been labeled the "dispatch-to-contract" ratio, which indicates on average what portion of the regulation reserves being held by the grid operator actually are deployed. 13 This has implications for the amount of energy throughput for an energy storage system providing this service.
Fig. 4 presents data from ERCOT comparing the amount of regulation being held in reserve versus what was actually deployed to correct the mismatch between supply and demand on a particular day. The AGC signals are given in 15-minute intervals, whereas in practice these signals are sent every few seconds. We assume that this 15-minute data is the average AGC signal during that interval. We are unaware of ISOs or RTOs that make actual AGC signal datasets available to the public. This data would be valuable to clearly understand AGC signal patterns, and their impact on a storage resource providing this service.
While Table 3 provides only revenue, the key question has to do with costs. Calculating the cost of providing these services includes both fixed and variable costs. The fixed costs include the additional cost to provide V2G functionality to a PHEV and the communication and control equipment necessary to allow remote dispatching of an aggregated fleet of PHEVs. The additional cost to allow V2G on the vehicle side should be minimal given that PHEVs will have most of the necessary power electronics onboard. The cost of a system to allow communication and control between the grid operator and a fleet of V2G PHEVs is yet unknown, but given the rapid development and reduced costs of these technologies we expect that this—when amortized over a fleet of tens of thousands of vehicles—would be minimal.
The variable costs resulting from PHEVs providing these services is a function of the energy throughput and the associated cost of battery degradation. We are confident that the variable cost of providing spinning reserves would be minimal, as these services rarely are used and when they are dispatched, it typically occurs for just several minutes. Using the experience of PJM given above, spinning reserves were deployed for only 21 hours during the entire year in

The Story
Breathe life into wines instantly, with or without a decanter. The simple act of pouring wine through the aerator increases pressure as you pour, drawing in and mixing just the right amount of air to help wines open up to their full potential. Without a battery, charcoal, or filter, the Vinturi aerator gives you the same enhanced bouquet, fuller flavor and smoother finish you'd get from 1½ hours of decanting. Aerator comes with a convenient stand.

The work is ostensibly in five movements and begins, somewhat light-heartedly, in a clear F major, Allegretto, with an innocent-sounding theme. The second subject, in C, is rhythmically first cousin to that in the Ninth Symphony, and with the double bar and repeat (as in the Second Quartet and Ninth Symphony) the listener may be forgiven for imagining that Shostakovich has here embarked upon another friendly neo-classical piece. If he has, he does not continue it, at least in terms of sonata structure, for the development is nothing less than a double fugue and the recapitulation strains to keep on track – the second subject hinting at B minor (!) and the coda finally getting us back on track with a pizzicato perfect cadence. The second movement, Moderato con moto, is like a slower, troubled reminiscence of the Scherzo in the Eighth Symphony at first, the viola ostinato heralding bitter music – strongly dissonant, the freely contrapuntal nature producing a deep unease almost throughout the movement – not always violent, but full of foreboding. The tonality is E minor – so near and yet so far from the clear F major which began the work.
Aggression is the emotion of the gripping third movement, a mixture of Scherzo and March, 3/4 and 2/4 alternating almost at every bar in a bitter G sharp minor, looking forward, surely, to the eruptive second movement in the Tenth Symphony. The tonality switches to a kind of E flat major for what must pass as the Trio section, dominated first by the viola, before the opening bursts through the fabric to end the movement with a fierce challenge.
The fourth movement, an extended Passacaglia – a form in which Shostakovich had already proved himself an expert – anticipates a movement in another masterpiece, the Violin Concerto No 1 of 1947/8, but here it is rather freer, and therefore more personal and expressive. Beginning fortissimo, it tends to fall in dynamic, and in tonality, becoming almost bereft of energy until the finale enters, faster of course but very quietly and simply, a little uncertain at first, but growing in confidence until the music sings more lyrically, with F major more or less firmly established.
But it is not so easily achieved. As a climax builds, the theme from the Passacaglia strides across the texture, and then fades over a single repeated E from the cello. Was it all, tonally, in vain? No, for Shostakovich reaches his goal by making E the dominant of A minor, in turn the mediant of F major. By this un-classical, yet infinitely logical and moving progression, Shostakovich has revealed a profound musical truth; the pizzicatos which ended the first movement now bringing a deep pacification to the music which had earlier so troubled us.
It is sometimes claimed, not always convincingly, that there is often a hidden meaning in Shostakovich's work. Whilst the character of his instrumental art frequently exhibits great drama, his mastery of composition is such that his music has, in the last analysis, to stand or fall solely as music, and not through the imposition of some extra-musical programme. With regard to his Third String Quartet, however, the Borodin Quartet, one of the leading Soviet ensembles of their day, established in 1946, insisted upon the following subtitles being appended to the movements in every programme whenever they performed this work. Whilst they have never been published in any edition of the music, the Borodin Quartet clearly felt they had the composer's approval, and the subtitles fit the nature of the music:
I: 'Calm unawareness of the future cataclysm'
II: 'Rumblings of unrest and anticipation'
III: 'The forces of war unleashed'
IV: 'Homage to the dead'
V: 'The eternal question: Why? And for what?'
If indeed these are Shostakovich's original thoughts, then they assist in understanding the character of the work more, but what cannot be denied is that, in his Second and Third String Quartets, Dmitri Shostakovich declared himself to be one of the greatest quartet writers of the century, and continued as such in his successive masterpieces in the genre.

UNFPA Continues to Garner Support in a Challenging Aid Environment
Despite worldwide economic challenges and a competitive aid environment, total revenue for UNFPA in 2012 reached a record $981.4 million.This amount includes $437.5 million in voluntary donor contributions, $40.8 million in other revenue, and $503.1 million in earmarked funds.
Backed by this donor support in 2012, UNFPA further tightened the focus of its work to increase the impact in the organization's core areas of sexual and reproductive health, reproductive rights and maternal health to improve the lives of millions of women and young people in developing countries.
Until the middle of 2011, UNFPA had 13 major programming objectives, but after a review of its priorities and a fresh look at emerging challenges in developing countries, the organization focused its programming objectives to seven areas where it stands to have the greatest impact on the lives of women and young people:
- Expanding and improving maternal and newborn health.
- Increasing access to voluntary family planning.
- Making HIV and STI services more accessible to pregnant women, people living with HIV, young people and key populations.
- Advocating for gender equality and reproductive rights.
- Increasing young people's access to sexual and reproductive health services and information.
- Linking population dynamics, policymaking and development plans.
- Harnessing the power of data

Although the redoubtable Miuccia Prada and the rambunctious Marc Jacobs have expressed their reservations over the worth of social networking (although Marc does have business partner Robert Duffy to do it for him), the lovely Roberto Cavalli has decided to embrace it warmly and kiss it on both cheeks.
Oh yes. Roberto is now officially a blogger – you can be privy to his inner most thoughts and inspiration just by logging on to http://www.robertocavalliblog.com/.
Here is an example of his brilliant mind "I keep creating dreams. You always have to dream.In all these years I pursued the dream of beauty. I created dresses for women who are the maximum expression of beauty and for men who need the beauty of women to complete themselves." Erm.
What do we really think about this? It's brilliant news of course! True, just because you can design a slinky animal print frock like no one else could and your best friend is Veebie doesn't mean you're necessarily an insightful wordsmith to boot, oh no no. But it is nice that you're not too arrogant and lofty to want to reach out to your fans.
Roberto, We'll be sticking you in our favourites for the name-clanging celeb anecdotes alone. Mr Cavalli's most recent after-show party had Courtney Love mingling with Lindsay Lohan AND Pixie Geldof in
We'll also be going straight to Roberto when we're thinking about taking our tan up a notch or two to deepest Ronseal and of course, when compiling our 'Top 5 Most Enormous Belt Buckles' we'll be on the site quicker than you can say 'yachts rock!'

HILLCREST HEIGHTS, Md. (AP) -- Prince George's County police say an apparent would-be robber has died following a struggle for his gun.
Police say officers found the man suffering from gunshot wounds about 12:30 a.m. Sunday in Hillcrest Heights. Officials say the man died at the scene in the 4400 block of 23rd Parkway.
Authorities say a preliminary investigation found the man approached two people sitting in a car and apparently was attempting to rob them. Police say the would-be robber was shot during a struggle for the gun with a man inside the vehicle.
Officials say the occupants of the vehicle are cooperating with detectives and charges have not been filed.

800 armor is a large amount. 350 health is also nothing to sneeze at. Unless you're a Druid AP contributes zilch to survival, and 2 expertise (rating or skill?) is negligible.
Here's how you test the contribution of 800 armor at your gear level. Take the ring OFF and mouse over your armor to get your mitigation percent. Write that down. Then put the ring on and get the new mitigation percent. Your additive gain is (new-old), but keep in mind that each percent is worth more than the last one. For instance, going from 50% to 52% armor mitigation reduces incoming damage by ~4%, not 2%.

Andrew Mollenbeck, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - The number of construction projects in the works is at the highest level in four years, according to The Washington Examiner.
Local developers have so anxiously pursued new projects that Fairfax County, for example, they can hardly keep up with the requests.
The county looked over 99 major plans last year, the paper reports. This year, it expects almost 120.
In Montgomery County, the building boom has been in housing.
"What we're seeing in the county is more housing units, but we're not seeing commercial construction," says Councilman Marc Elrich, D-At Large.
"We're able to accommodate more residents, but we're not getting the commercial, and the commercial means you may not be getting the jobs," he says.

Louisville's men's basketball team welcomed a surprise visitor Thursday night—former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton met with the players and coach Rick Pitino for about 10 minutes after the Cardinals' 74-55 victory over Villanova in the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden.
A longtime basketball fan, Clinton and Pitino have been friendly since Pitino was at Kentucky and introduced Clinton on campus.
"We got the chance to take a lot of pictures. It was a big treat for our guys," Pitino said. "It was a lot of fun. ... He was just telling a lot of stories."
Forward Chane Behanan posted some of those photos on his Instagram feed.
The players, though in a festive mood after the game, were cautious around Clinton.
"We all approached him—very slowly," Behanan said, according to CBSSports.com. "He was telling us about becoming a president, how things were, traveling, and he talked to Gorgui (Dieng) about visiting Senegal, asked what city he (Dieng) was from. I thought I'd never meet a president. An honor and a blessing."
Guard Russ Smith said his parents were admirers of the 42nd president during his two terms.
"I think I was around for that," Smith, 21, said, according to CBSSports.com.
Clinton's trademark charisma came through to the younger generation.
"I mean, I think the president got swag, he got that swag to him," Behanan said, according to CBSSports.com. "I don't want to say what type of swag he got, but he got swag. I don't know if it's appropriate—I mean, it's appropriate, but I don't want to say. I don't want to start nothing up."

While watching last night's Broncos-Raiders game, Cardinals running back Beanie Wells sent out the following innocuous tweet, expressing his views on Peyton Manning:
Peyton Manning = Amazing— Beanie Wells (@BeanieWells26) December 7, 2012
A few minutes later, ESPN's NFL insider, Adam Schefter, decided to retweet Wells's thought and add one of his own. Unfortunately, this is how Schefter did it:
RT @beaniewells26 Peyton Manning = Amazing . ... And Cardinals QBs = ??— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 7, 2012
See, Adam, that's not how you retweet something when you want to add commentary of your own. (Unless you're Peter King, and we've already established that he can't tweet.) Your cute little quip about how shitty the Cardinals' quarterbacks are is supposed to go in front of the "RT." Otherwise it looks like Wells is talking shit about his own quarterbacks. And guess what? That's exactly what many of Schefter's nearly two million Twitter followers thought he was doing. Schefter's tweet was retweeted 488 times, and evoked responses like these:
@adamschefter @beaniewells26 wow Beanie, team player!— Eric Mendelsohn (@EMend121) December 7, 2012
RT@ryguyaz: "@adamschefter: RT @beaniewells26 Peyton Manning = Amazing . ... And Cardinals QBs = ??" Jackass— AZCardinalsFTW™ (@AZCardinalsFTW) December 7, 2012
@18tim68 did he just shit on his teammates? RT @adamschefter: RT @beaniewells26 Peyton Manning = Amazing . ... And Cardinals QBs = ??— SerJ (@SerJ_L) December 7, 2012
And so on. Nearly an hour later, Schefter finally got around to clarifying his comment:
To clarify, @beaniewells26 tweeted "Manning = Amazing", and I posed hypothetical question "Cardinals QBs = ??" Second part mine, not his.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 7, 2012
We've always said Twitter is lousy with irresponsible bloggers. Now we've got another to add to the list!

'Dusty City'
31 March 2011
'Dusty City'
Buenos Aires. Day off.
Observations about Buenos Aires. There seem to be three categories of employment that flourish in this city unlike anywhere else.
Occupation 1: The roaming feather duster salesman. Whilst out and about, I have noticed several characters walking the streets carrying armfuls of large effusive old-school feather dusters. To see even one person like this would be noteworthy in any town, but I really have seen three or four, walking amongst the traffic, in crowds at the market, past late-night cafes. It's fair to say that this is quite a dusty city - a few of our more sensitive tour personnel have noticed some effect on their breathing - but it seems surprising for it to be of sufficient quantity to have spawned a cottage industry. Perhaps it's the high ceilings in the 19th century mansions?
Occupation 2: The super-multiple dog-walker. I'm sure dog-walkers can make a pretty good living in any large city full of busy professionals, but here in BsAs it appears to have been taken to a whole new level. Several times now I have seen an entire pack of dogs being walked on a vast, complex multi-leash by a single walker. It's quite an extraordinary sight - a writhing, jumping, yapping mass, tethered by a web of leather straps. On one occasion I noticed that all dozen or so dogs in a pack were of the same breed. I'm guessing that either there's an exceptionally high quantity of dogs in this city, or an exceptionally low number of dog walkers. Either way, opportunity knocked and opportunism has answered.
Occupation 3: Garbage ransacking. I'm guessing that this is some form of public-domain recycling scheme, but after dark you'll see individuals tearing open and rifling through vast piles of rubbish bags in the street. Some of them bring along quite sophisticated multiple baskets on wheels, presumably for sorting different kinds of treasure. There must be some sort of private or government payment scheme for recyclables in the city which, on one level, is encouraging, but the ocean of discarded non-recyclable material left behind has to be seen to be believed. Presumably the city then has to send out garbage trucks and sweeping teams at dawn to put the streets back together again before sunrise. It's a strange symbiosis, but it seems to work - during the day the city is a clean and tidy as any other.

Occupation 2: The super-multiple dog-wal
Yes Willie, in my opinion, you got that right, there's an exceptionally high quantity of dogs in Buenos Aires. But you are not the only one amazed but the super-multiple dog-walker, many American people said to me that too. But dog-walker are more like a mafia thing, they are organized, know each other and they do want to have the huge packs of dogs. More dogs more money. But the sad part, remember that's my opinion, is that the owners don't care about it, they have the dog as a fashion accessory, like a cell phone or something just to give themselves social status. I have two dogs 'pure dog' (I don't know how you call the Mixed-breed dogs, here we call them PP: Puro Perro: Pure Dog) and I have a female dog-walker who comes home to pick them up for a private walk. It's more expensive but I'm so scared to leave them with too many other dogs, they can be hurt. Thanks for taking the time to write about it. I do care for the dogs. Cheers

Garbage ransacking
This guys appeared after 2001 economic crisis. They are good people, very respectful, so the neighbours have no problem at all with them, we even try to help them puting in separate bags material they can sell like paper, plastic botles, even metals like old computers and that kind of stuff. They are usually organized in cooperatives to claim rights specially on the rates they are paid for the materials from recycling enterprises. They have no help from goverment of the city at all. There are still many of them, but with economic growth we expect they can have a better job oportunities. Thanks Willie for your views, they are really interesting.

knowledge over a long period of time, which allowed Carlsbad to accept the only permanent radiation waste-storage facility in the world. Although local boards were funded by DOE, they had control over what they learned and where they got input. This gave the information greater credibility.
Local familiarity with nuclear power also is very helpful. The island in Finland where a deep geological repository is being built also houses a nuclear-power complex. The small population on the island is comprised of people who already are comfortable with nuclear properties, and who welcome the job opportunities they provide. Similarly in Sweden, local public affirmation and support were key criteria in selecting the country's two repository sites.
• Local Control : Power sharing is extremely important in the planning process. New Mexico has the power to write permits, which gives the state ongoing authority and oversight in the operation of the WIPP.
Further, inviting communities or states to bid for a repository, as Sweden has done, presents petitioners with a reason to realistically consider the appropriateness of the location, and to compete for the jobs and potential infrastructure and community incentives that would derive from an on-site repository.
• Industry Funding : A single new nuclear power plant costs $9 billion to $10 billion to build. By comparison, cleanup of a site like Hanford costs $12 billion, and the Yucca Mountain project initially was estimated to cost $57.5 billion in 2001. As efforts proceed toward building interim and permanent repositories, the industry and the federal government will gain a clearer understanding of the technical requirements and monetary costs of storing spent fuel from existing and new nuclear facilities. Incorporating such costs into the capital costs of facilities will help demonstrate that waste disposal is considered an integral part of the cradle-to-grave lifetime of a nuclear facility.
Resolving America's spent-fuel dilemma will require dedicated leadership at all levels of the decision-making process—and also the willingness to consider innovative approaches and solutions (see "Plan D for Spent Nuclear Fuel") . Potential nuclear-waste storage sites face extraordinarily complex challenges, in terms of technical analysis, engineering and finance, as well as public perception and acceptance. But experiences at nuclear waste sites already have demonstrated what practices and approaches are doomed to failure—and which ones have at least a chance of succeeding.

The Great Blizzard of 1947: Photos From an Epic Winter Storm
Something about snowstorms brings out the kid in most of us. Memories of those blessed, almost always unexpected reprieves from the drudgery of school — "Snow day!" — undoubtedly plays a part in the collective excitement, and whether it's in a vast metropolis or a remote, small town, the prospect of a blizzard elicits something nearly primal in those in the storm's path.
There's concern, for sure — about our families, our neighbors, our power and heat, our ability to get out and about once the snow stops falling. But for a good number of us, there's something more: something like pure, primal excitement.
In December 1947, a huge, historic storm dumped record levels of snow on the northeastern United States. In New York City, where the snow fell quietly, and steadily, for hours and hours, several LIFE photographers stepped out of the magazine's offices, cameras in hand, and recorded the scene. Here, as another major winter storm again approaches the Northeast, LIFE.com remembers the Great Blizzard of 1947 with some photos that ran in LIFE, and many others that were never published in the magazine.
As the magazine put it to its readers in its January 5, 1948, issue:
At 3:20 in the morning it began to snow in New York City. By the time most New Yorkers were going to work the blanket lay three inches deep. But the city, used to ignoring all natural phenomena and reassured by a weather forecast of "occasional flurries," went about its business. But as the day wore on this characteristic blasé attitude vanished. The air grew filled with snowflakes so huge and thick it was almost impossible to see across the street. They fell without letup — all morning, all afternoon and into the night.
Long after night fall the illuminated news sign of the New York Times flashed an announcement to little groups of people huddled in Times Square that the snowfall, which totaled an amazing 25.8 inches in less than 24 hours, had beaten the record of the city's historic blizzard of 1880. A faint, muffled shout of triumph went up from the victims.

text: Hi all, i have searched the web for some clues but have not really come up with anything helpful, so hoping someone here can shed some light for me. My daughter is going to Naussica in france with the school tomorrow so i got my older digital camera out for her to take with her (shes only 11) its a samsung digimax s600 not great i know but the problem i have is i can take photos with the internal memory no problem they look ok then i put a sd card in and take a photo and the photo looks misty and the entire photo has horizontal lines running through it, tried 2 sd cards both the same problem i tried the 2 sd cards in my other digital camera and there is no problems with the cards themselves, so i get good photos from the cameras internal memory and bad photos from photos taken with the sd cards inserted but the problem is not with the cards. I have formatted the cards in the camera that makes no difference so could it be the card reader inside the camera. Any advice would be very welcome as i really dont want her to take the other camera and was looking forward to seeing all the fish from http://www.nausicaa.fr/

What factors lead to success as an NFL head coach? Is it something quantifiable such as success as a coordinator or previous experience coaching, or is it the intangible factors that only present themselves when the situation arises?Bill Belichick was mediocre as the head coach in Cleveland from 1991-1995 going 36-44 and only finishing over .500 once. He now has three super bowl rings as the coach of the New England Patriots. John Harbaugh had no previous head coaching experience prior to accepting the post in Baltimore, and he has won a playoff game in each of his five seasons there, including last year's Super Bowl.The right answer lies somewhere in the middle. Differing factors lead to success as an NFL coach. Of the 14 coaches with winning percentages above .550 in the last 10 years, 10 were successful as an NFL coordinator (successful being defined here as top-10 at their position in the three years prior to getting a head coaching job), 11 had worked for successful head coache...
