"Take two tin cans and tie them together with a string," read the Boy Scout handbook. "Wet the string and then stretch it. Say something into the can. Your pal will hear your voice in the other can." It was a miracle that literally had me at hello.
I've loved the concept ever since: kite string as an information superhighway. It inspired my belief in free speech and canned goods. And someday it would reveal to me one of life's great truths -- the fewer people you have to depend on, the better off you are.
In Lompoc, where I grew up, I was a small-town radio announcer hankering to cover a blockbuster story. We were embarking on a new information age. It would change the world. Wet string had been replaced by dimes and a phone booth.
"We're going live from the Lompoc Flower Festival parade," said old Hank, the gravel-voiced announ-cer at "Easy Listening KKOK," dawn-to-dusk voice of the Valley of the Flowers. Hoarse from too many cigarettes, Hank had a stallion's heart. Hank gave me his pocket change and told me my day had come.
"Make us proud, kid" he said as I headed out the door. I gave it my best. He could depend on me because I understood the beautiful simplicity of the can and the string.
"There goes a horse and here comes a band," I said over the telephone. Then there were long lapses of heavy breathing. The commitment came so naturally to me. If only the words would follow.
My next live shot was a decade and a continent away. I was live from the Portland, Maine, New Year's Eve fireworks display. It was the only noteworthy thing that ever happened there in winter -- unless you count the 30 inches of snow they got last week.
My vantage point was a musty old hotel popular with retired folks -- its carpets worn thin by the wheels of ambulance gurneys. On its roof, I described fireworks with the nuanced beauty of my words. "There goes a red one," I cooed.
Later, our TV station bought a live truck. Now we could go anywhere, as long as there was adequate parking. So at a country fair, I was to broadcast a reenactment of the Allied invasion of Normandy, turning point of World War II.
An interpretive dancer had choreographed the Allied aerial attack complete with livestock. She wore a white jumpsuit for her portrayal of a bomber. As her arms flapped, robed women with shaved heads wailed the air-raid siren. No wonder the Germans retreated.
"You've got to be kidding," bleated the goats. Frightened sheep jettisoned their "fuel" as they dove for cover. And the dancer's white jumpsuit turned green and brown -- very brown.
I wished I had seen it. So intent on my own voice, I missed the whole thing. They tell me it was awesome. The dancer had committed life's most fatal mistake. To do the right thing, she had depended on the wrong "people." As the Koreans put it, "If you are thirsty, you must dig your own well."
Or, to put a more artistic way, it's a beautiful dream to dance in a pasture. You had just better mind your step.

Reviews for Apple Crisp For Two
Sort By :
"Yummy! This recipe was very good! Great to eat right after dinner. I feel like it doesn't make enough for two pepole to have a full dessert, I had to put a lot of icecream with it to make it seem not so small and my boyfriend was sad when he walked back into the kitchen and couldn't find anymore! Next time I will double the recipe! :P"
"I will never understand why people need to force their opinions about ingredients on others.I will listen to a nutritionist before I listen to someone putting their unqualified opinions on a recipe rate and review board. If you dont like an ingredient used or someone mentioning using it no comment is necessary.Simply close the window and look for something in the healthy tab."
"All I can say is "WOW"!! This was absolutely delicious & so easy to prepare! And with a few subs of lower cal ingredients....couldn't ask for a better recipe. Thank u for sharing with us! :)"
"To frostjoyce: PLEASE LOOK UP SPLENDA ONLINE. IT IS MADE BY ALTERING SUGAR CHEMICALLY INTO A CHLOROCARBON -- LIKE DDT. IT'S A POISON. THERE IS A SAFE SWEETENER ON THE MARKET NOW. PLEASE LOOK INTO TRUVIA, MADE FROM THE STEVIA PLANT."

Mayor Ron Littlefield has approached his Collegedale counterpart about taking over the only branch of the public library outside Chattanooga.
Collegedale Mayor John Turner said he has had preliminary talks with Littlefield.
"He has mentioned it to us," Turner said. "He just mentioned that might be a possibility."
The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library is one of the jointly funded agencies that will be affected when the 45-year-old sales tax agreement between Chattanooga and Hamilton County expires May 23.
About $10.5 million in sales tax revenue that the county had used to help fund a variety of agencies will go to the city. County Mayor Jim Coppinger has said the county will not put up any more money for most agencies formerly funded under the agreement.
Littlefield has said the city will support library branches inside the Chattanooga limits.
Collegedale officials are worried the Ooltewah-Collegedale branch could shut down if the town cannot afford to keep it open, Turner said.
"The library branch out here is a critical part of our community," he said.
Littlefield spokesman Richard Beeland said Friday there has been no discussion of closing the branch.
He said Collegedale could pay the library system a fee to operate the branch or take it over.
"It's up to the level of participation they want to give," Beeland said.
Turner said Collegedale officials need more information.
"We don't know if we can take it on because we don't know how much it's going to cost," he said.
Library officials could not provide operational figures Friday.
Turner said the town needs answers before the new fiscal year begins July 1.
He said Collegedale would be open to any kind of partnership Hamilton County could offer, but he also knows the financial strains the county is experiencing right now.
"I'm not counting on it," he said.
Library board Chairman David Turner said he has not been privy to any of the negotiations, but he said he doesn't believe the Collegedale branch will close, whatever happens.
"I think that will not happen," he said. "I can't imagine that happening."

The wand is the instrument of invocation of spirits. In most traditions, the wand represents the element of fire (in other traditions, earth, air, water or spirit) and symbolizes the life-force within the Witch. The wand dates back to prehistoric times. The Greek god Hermes is represented with a caduceus, a wand entwined with snake and winged top, a symbol of power, wisdom and healing.
Witchcraft Power Wand
Beautiful hand crafted copper wand with a Gemstone Egg set in one end and a Crystal point in the other. With smaller Gemstones set into the shaft of the wand. The wands are approximately 9 to 11 inches in length.

Greeley offers water conservation rebates to residential and commercial water customers. The purpose of rebates is to promote the purchase and proper installation of water-saving products to improve water efficiency. The City of Greeley is now rebating products purchased in 2013.
The items rebated for indoor use include low-flow toilets, high-efficiency clothes washers, and a variety of products for commercial customers. Complete details on the program and application materials are available at www.greeleygov.com/rebates. Outdoor rebates for sprinkler system components are also available after customers receive an irrigation audit. Sign up now to receive an audit early in the watering season.
The most significant change this year is for toilet rebates. A $25 rebate will be available for toilets that use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf), or dual flush models. Toilets are becoming more efficient; for toilets that use 0.8 gallons per flush, customers will receive a $50 rebate. This year, on both types of toilets, there will also be an additional rebate of $25 if the toilet is recycled. When applying for the rebate in person, bring the toilet, with all metal or plastic parts removed, to 1100 10th Street.
Type of Toilet
Rebate Amount
Properly Recycled Toilet
Total Rebate
1.6 gpf
dual flush
1.28 gpf
0.8 gpf
The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that a family of four will, on average, save more than $90 per year in reduced water utility bills by replacing their home's older toilets with WaterSense labeled models, and $2,000 over the lifetime of the toilets. Look for the EPA WaterSense label when purchasing a low-water use and high-performance toilet.

Locally Significant Bills Pass To Senate
Three key bills for Teton County have seen all three readings in the House of Representatives and have been referred to the Senate for action. Representative Ruth Ann Petroff says the "Transfer of State Lands Bill," the "Energy Improvement Program Bill," and the "City/County Consolidation Bill" all have seen final reading in the House now. The first bill will allow the state to consummate its deal with the federal government for the sale of lands inside Grand Teton National Park while Petroff says the second would lead to better economy for the state's citizens. The Consolidation bill would also lead to economy by allowing cities and counties with identical services to be unified as a single government entity, rather than duplicating services. The Wyoming Legislature has until Wednesday to complete work on bills introduced in the respective houses, and must pass them on to their counterparts on the opposite side of the capitol for consideration or the bills will die.

The airplane, being operated on a scheduled passenger flight, contacted the runway with the left wing tip, following a loss of control while landing. Weather conditions were varying due to freezing fog that was moving into and out of the area. The control tower at the destination airport was closed and the airplane was being controlled by a near-by approach control facility. After holding in-flight to wait for the weather to improve, the crew began the instrument landing system (ILS) approach when the visibility was reported as one-half mile. The captain stated that almost immediately upon entering the top of the fog layer they received an ICE caution message. He stated they turned on the wing and engine inlet anti-ice, but the ice accumulation on the windshield wipers was rapid and ice was accumulating on the winglet. The captain stated the approach lights came into sight when they were just above minimums and that he had the runway in sight at approximately 140 feet above the ground. The first officer then disconnected the autopilot and the nose came up slightly. He stated he informed the first officer to keep the nose down and add thrust. The captain stated they were slightly left of the centerline and the first officer was making "small" corrections back to the right. He stated the airspeed was just inside the "bottom of the bucket" and the trend vector was indicating a decrease in airspeed. The captain stated he "again said something about more thrust and keeping the nose down." He stated the airplane continued to move to the right of the centerline and he took control of the airplane. He stated the airplane responded "poorly" feeling "heavy and sluggish." The captain stated the airplane was close to the right side of the runway and he added thrust at which time the ailerons became more responsive. He stated the left wing dropped, scraping the runway, at about the same time the left main gear touched down. The captain stated the airplane bounced into the air then landed hard on the runway. The crew then taxied the airplane to the gate. The first officer stated that when the captain reported having the runway in sight, she transitioned her sight outside of the airplane and realized she needed to correct to the right. She stated she began the correction at which time the nose of the airplane pitched up, the airplane veered toward the correction, and it started sinking toward the right side of the runway. She stated the captain took over the controls, but the airplane dropped to the runway, bounced, and touched down harder the second time. The first officer, who was flying the approach, had about 15 hours of total flight time in the CL-600. The captain, who was also a check airman, had a total of 1,196 hours of flight time in the CL-600. At the time of the accident the local weather was reported as being visibility 1/4 mile in freezing fog, vertical visibility 100 feet. Inspection of the airport and airplane on the afternoon following the incident revealed ice was still visible on the antennas, windshield wipers, radome, winglets, and horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The main body of ice on these structures measured between one-half to five-eights of an inch thick and that the main body of ice plus the "ice spines" totaled three-quarters of an inch thick. A Kinematic parameter extraction showed loss of lift consistent with airframe icing but there was no early stall due to icing prior to touchdown and no indication that airframe icing had caused any loss of control. Marks on the ground and on the runway revealed the airplane initially touched down 1,976 feet from the approach end of the runway with the right main landing gear in the grass off the side of the runway. The left wing tip then left a 63-foot long scrape mark on the runway, which was followed about 1,100 feet later by another set of tire marks. Data from the flight data recorder showed the airplane rolled slightly to the left followed by a roll to the right when the autopilot was disengaged. It then showed the airplane touched down with a vertical acceleration of at least 1.8g's. The airplane then became airborne in a 16-degree left bank, with a 5-degree nose up pitch at which time the ground and flight spoilers deployed contributing to the firmness of the 3.25 g touchdown one second later.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this incident to be:

Three Orlando illusionists may hold the key to the future of magic
Live Active Cultures
Published: April 16, 2014
Over the years, I've had the privilege of observing many masters of magic, both world-famous (David Copperfield, Penn & Teller) and under-appreciated (Asi Wind, Jeff McBride), but I've usually had to leave Central Florida to do so. Orlando's tourist industry is built around "magic," but despite our area's extensive population of wizards and fairies, there's precious little actual prestidigitation being performed around town. Sure, you can still find trick demonstrations inside magic shops at some local theme parks (though the Magic Kingdom's are sadly long gone), and a new Great Magic Hall is scheduled to open at Kissimmee's Old Town later in 2014. But though O-town offers evening attractions built around jousting knights, mystery-solving sleuths and surreal circus stunts, no one has succeeded with a large-scale illusion production like you'll find in Las Vegas. Lately, however, I've become aware of a more modest magicians' resurgence. In recent weeks, I've attended under-the-radar performances by three very different illusionists, and what I experienced may point to the possible future of magic performances in the Orlando area.
It started late last month with a forwarded invitation for a "VIP" performance by Drew Thomas at his warehouse workshop in south Orlando. Thomas is a veteran entertainer who has designed illusions for Universal Studios, Six Flags, Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line; his biggest claim to fame was as a finalist for the Hasselhoff-judged reality competition, America's Got Talent. On April 4, I was among a standing-room-only audience (made up chiefly of friends and enthusiastic supporters) squeezed into an industrial rehearsal space for a preview of his latest show, Materialize.
Thomas' flashy production was far more elaborate than the unglamorous location would imply, employing a cast of eight (including a trio of dancing assistants), the "dopest DJ on the planet," several video screens and an eye-popping array of automated lights. His show ranged from mentalism and card tricks to a bondage-inspired twist on "sawing a lady in half" and even included a brief Michael Jackson impersonation. (Disclosure: Samantha O'Hare, an actress I've directed in the past, previously served as Thomas' assistant; she no longer performs with him, though she's still pictured in his promotions.)
Drew is a competent performer, but visibly fumbled with some of his new mechanisms. His evident natural charisma is at times overwhelmed by Criss Angel-esqe pretentiousness, especially during a maudlin monologue about a sick kid who supposedly inspired his finale. Most crucially, Thomas constantly informs his audience how "innovative" he is, but nearly every trick (aside from a superb bit of sleight-of-hand involving a marked quarter and a Coke can) was a variation on the traditional "metamorphosis" and "vanishing cabinet" effects, often with obviously wobbling mirrors or ill-concealed escape hatches. Materialize might impress from the back row of a 4,000-seat showroom, but Thomas' charm can't conceal what's hiding behind the curtain up close.

The flight was issued radar vectors for a visual approach to runway 36. The before landing checklist was completed, and all aircraft systems were operational for the landing. The flight crew reported that the airplane touched down approximately 2,500 feet from the threshold of the 7003 foot long concrete runway. During the landing roll, the first officer, who was flying the airplane, applied normal braking, but the airplane did not decelerate as expected. When the captain realized that the airplane was not decelerating, he took the flight controls and applied heavy braking; again, there was no noticeable deceleration. The airplane rolled off the departure end of runway 36 and stopped in approximately a foot of mud. A review of flight data recorder landing data revealed that the aircraft touchdown airspeed was 127 knots indicated airspeed. After touchdown, the airplane rolled 2500 feet before coming to a full stop 43 seconds later. According to the DC-9 aircraft operating manual, the target touchdown point is 1000 feet from the runway threshold. A witness reported that the airplane touched down approximately 4000 feet from the threshold. The prescribed landing airspeed for this flight was 127 knots.

Be-In There
Does Ang Lee's 1969 nostalgia trip come to bury Woodstock or to praise it?
Taking Woodstock
|Ang Lee
|Demetri Martin, Henry Goodman, Imelda Staunton, Jonathan Groff, Eugene Levy
|Release Date:
Ang Lee's counterculture curiosity is a hedge-bet failure. Wanting to pimp the sanctified view of the 1960s flower-power peak while pricking it with the smallest critical stick, it assumes where it should explicate and--while out of either laziness, Boomer arrogance, or hipster calculation--assumes we already know the '60s mythos chapter and verse, a pose that makes the movie's existence literally pointless.
Timed to profit from Woodstock's 40th anniversary and the dimming hopes of the Obama wave, Lee's movie claims the power of the everyman to change everything. In this case, he's Elliot Teichberg (Demetri Martin), a quietly queer guy living in the Catskills with his father (Henry Goodman) and Holocaust survivor mother (Imelda Staunton) whose PTSD symptoms are the movie's somewhat questionable go-to source for laughs.
When not running the failing family motel or heading the town commerce committee, Elliot pops over to New York City, where he doesn't bother to get laid. (He later turns down a chance to go to San Francisco where some sort of gay thing seems to be happening.) Putting aside the fact that this is based on the real-life Elliot Tiber's own account of events--as filtered through James Schamus' script--I can only guess that Elliot's repressed queerness is meant to stand in for the general repression against which the counterculture was countering. But again, I'm only guessing.
Anyway--just as Elliot's family faces bankruptcy, a helicopter lands in his backyard and out struts Michael (Jonathan Groff), a laid back hippie-hustler with a proposition. The proposition is, of course, that Elliot work as middleman to convince nearby farm owner Max (Eugene Levy) to rent his meadow to a festival of "three days of peace and music" that will make everyone a shitload of money. When a stoned Elliot babbles to the press that the event will be free, the town and meadow is quickly glutted with hippies, eventually peaking out at half a million souls.
And so Woodstock becomes a sort of road movie without roads as Elliot wanders through the muck and stoned masses in search of that holy grail of a main stage where the likes of the Grateful Dead, the Who, and Jimi Hendrix play. And so we suffer a mind-numbing hour of CGI acid trips, sexual trysts, and Terrence Malick-y eco-spiritual epiphanies, before Elliot, family, and friends limp to their last-reel reconciliations. Elliot even gets to fuck a construction worker, although this is shown with even more brevity--which could be read as distaste--than the frantic couplings of Brokeback Mountain.
There are small pleasures. Liev Schreiber has an infectiously good time playing Vilma, a cocky, cross-dressing Korean War vet given the job of handling festival security. And Martin, whose post-slacker stand-up routine is unendurably smug, crafts a weirdly beguiling nowhere man.
But constantly grating is the way Lee seems perpetually on the verge of critical gestures that would explode the gilded view of Woodstock as yet another one of America's last moments of innocence. Constant reminders of the moral ruin of Vietnam and intimations of Mutually Assured Destruction suggest contextualizing explanations for why a mostly white, young, middle class opted out in favor of an impossible dream world of dumbing drugs, free love, and the like.
Had Lee really worked this angle, the hippies on view could have attained some tragically fated weight. Instead, they're just, well, hippies, to the modern eye painfully naive hobbit-y folk who love nothing more than a bong hit and nude frolic in the mud. And either out of mercy or because he knows Michael Wadleigh already made the defining Woodstock overview with his 1970 documentary, Lee mostly leaves out the one thing inarguably great about Woodstock, its music.
The movie ends with vague storm warnings of Altamont while assuming you know what Altamont was about. More interestingly, and as if in sharp rejoinder to the hippies' repeated claims to responsibility, is a last lingering wide shot of the meadow left littered with garbage.
Is Lee suggesting that the flip side of the most entitled generation's solipsism is a literal mess and Taking Woodstock a prequel to Lee's Me Generation movie, 1997's The Ice Storm? Or does the director assume as long as he feeds the Woodstock nostalgia machine, nobody will note these critical road bumps, all while keeping his detached cinematic cred? Both readings work, even if Lee's movie doesn't.

Written by Jaclyn Gallucci, email@example.com Friday, 11 October 2013 00:00
Residents across Nassau County are being hit with sharp school tax rate increases, leaving politicians pointing fingers and school administrators blaming a broken property assessment system and specifically, valuation reductions on commercial properties.
"I felt blindsided by the increase," says Adam Weiss of Sea Cliff. "It makes no sense to vote and have one number approved when it turns out they can unilaterally make it more. So the vote is meaningless."
The latest school tax bills, reflecting the higher rates, will be mailed to Locust Valley and North Shore residents this week.
District figures show the school tax rate for North Shore school district homeowners increasing by 6.17 percent. Locust Valley homeowners face a rate increase of 6.1 percent. The City of Glen Cove does its own assessments and does not use county assessments for school taxes.
While not as big a jump as last year—Locust Valley residents saw an 18.4 percent increase and North Shore residents saw a 12.2 percent increase—the latest figures from both districts show tax rates far exceeding what was expected when voters passed school budgets in the spring.
School administrators say the sharp increase is caused by lower property valuations, especially commercial properties. Many owners have challenged their assessments through the Assessment Review Commission (ARC), an independent agency which reviews the valuation set by Nassau County. If it finds a property excessively overvalued, the ARC reduces the assessment, which lowers the taxes—and sometimes includes huge rebates—for that individual property owner.
But the school budget calls for a specific amount of tax revenue; if the value of taxable land falls then the tax rate must rise to bring in the same amount. Thus, those lower property values are forcing another year of dramatic rise in school tax rates.
"People need to be careful to emphasize that this is a tax rate increase, not the percentage their taxes went up," says Dr. Ed Melnick, superintendent for North Shore School District. "For example, the tax levy remains the same, however, if the overall assessed property value goes down, the amount we pay in taxes per dollar goes up."
Nassau County uses a tax class system, segregating different types of properties. Classes 1 and 2 include properties that are primarily residential. Class 3 consists of utility company equipment and special franchises. Class 4 contains all other property, including commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, and vacant land. Each class contributes a different percentage of the overall tax bill, called the "adjusted base proportion" or "ABP." Those rates were changed last year, too, by the county, raising the portion of taxes paid by residential homeowners.
Secondly, owners in every class are eligible to challenge their assessments. But the impact on revenue of revaluing a home—worth about $400,000 on average countywide—is negligible next to the impact of revaluing a commercial property—worth well into the millions in Nassau County. (And remember, when one taxpayer wins a reduction, the rest must make up the difference.) School officials are saying that hefty commercial property reductions are a major driver of the latest rate hike for residents.
"If there is a shift away from utilities and business to homeowners, than it is clear that the tax rate for homeowners rises," says Melnick. "This is clearly what happened, as the 'tax rate' reported is significantly higher than the percentage increase in the school budget for both years."
On top of that huge imbalance, there's a difference in how much of the burden each class of taxpayer carries.
"The change in the ABP added an additional 1.2 percent to Class 1," says Victor Manuel, Jericho School District's assistant superintendent for business affairs.
"And assessment reductions added an additional 3.82 percent to bring the tax rate increase for Class 1 to 8.15 percent."
When the Department of Assessment issued homeowners their 2012-2013 tax roll disclosure notice last year, Nassau properties had been given the lowest possible assessed values, according to the department.
"The lowest possible value was chosen because of our commitment to keep the assessments at a reasonable level that is fair and equitable to all property owners," said Gregory Hild, chairman of the Department of Assessment's transition team at the time.
However, these lower property taxes have caused school tax rates to rise, making up for, and in some cases far surpassing, the money saved on property taxes.
"County officials encourage homeowners to challenge their assessment and then proudly announce that 87 percent of the assessment review claims are granted," says Joseph Dragone, Roslyn School District's assistant superintendent for business.
School taxes rise when the district seeks more money than the previous year, but typically budget increases are relatively small. The bigger impact, according to school administrators, comes from changes in assessed value—both of people's homes and of commercial properties.

Fujitsu ICS tablet: Cheaper, thinner, lighter than iPad
Summary: Fujitsu may have accidentally stumbled across the ideal tablet for consumers that brings the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android, a quad-core processor and good connectivity, but is pitching it primarily for business use
1 of 5Image
Fujistu Stylistic angled
The last time I had a look at a Fujitsu tablet — the Stylistic Q550 — it was running an almost standard version of Windows 7 and provided an example of exactly what you don't want in a tablet. It was heavy, large and had the most unresponsive operating system on a mobile device that I'd ever seen.
So when Dave Shaw, a senior manager in Fujitsu's tablet business, promised to bring in the latest and greatest from the company recently, I didn't have high expectations.
The not-very-catchily named Stylistic M532 [shown above] is due to arrive in the UK in June. It isn't designed to be a follow-up to the Q550, which will eventually have its own Windows 8-based successor. Instead, the M532 uses the Ice Cream Software version of the Android platform, which is about as current as any tablet could be and a sure-fire win in appealing to consumers. The same goes for the M532's processor, the quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3, which should have enough oomph to keep customers happy.
Shaw was quick to point out — and did so repeatedly — that the Q550 and the M532 are separate product lines, with different aims. Looking at the two, the Q550 line is more of a traditional enterprise device, while the M532 is seen as "Fujitsu's response to the BYOD trend", with all the support for personal use that implies.

Fujistu Stylistic ports
At first glance, Fujitsu's M532 could seem a little vanilla. It has 32GB of internal storage, Wi-Fi and data connectivity, and comes with a virtually unmodified version of Android 4.0. It also has no proprietary Fujitsu user interface, making it ripe for quick upgrades in the future.
Its Corning Gorilla Glass-equipped 10.1-inch screen also seemed bright enough, even if the resolution does max out at 1280 x 800 pixels. There's always the option of connecting to an external display for full 1080p video playback via the dock (sold separately) or via an HDMI-to-microUSB converter cable, just as the HTC One X does. So far, so good. But here's the kicker: it has one thing that so many other tablets haven't managed to achieve — simplicity.
There's just one variant, which makes it easy to choose and buy. Plus, it comes with a price tag of just £476. Apple, which has done extraordinarily well in the pricing of its tablets and exercising command over economies of scale in manufacturing, can offer its 32GB new iPad with Wi-Fi and data for £579. But Fujitsu has managed to bring the M532 to market for more than £100 less.

MM Leader: What next for Aifa?
It was not the biggest surprise in the world to see Aifa director general Stephen Gay quit after just over a year in charge to join the relative tranquillity of the Association of British Insurers.
Aifa announced a £200,000 deficit late last year and Gay's tenure has been spent implementing costcutting measures alongside grappling with the dilemma of how to fund a well resourced trade body to represent advisers at a national and European level.
His strategic review came to the controversial but correct decision to allow restricted advisers to be members on the basis that the FSA has moved the goalposts on independence and many current Aifa members may end up taking a restricted route which would still mean they are independent from provider influence.
Negotiations to try and get bigger networks to pay more, as per member they pay much less than a directly authorised firm, have proved difficult. The tough economic conditions have not helped in trying to persuade any firm to pay for something they will get the benefit of anyway.
When offered an escape route from these stresses and strains, in the form of a high-ranking position at the ABI, Gay probably did not have to think too hard.
The obvious question is where does this leave Aifa and who will be leading it through the introduction of the biggest restructure of financial services regulation for over 25 years?
Gay has been understandably bogged down in internal issues during his short reign and therefore found it difficult to connect with advisers and articulate a vision for the future of the profession.
Just as Stephen Gay has spoken of his excitement about the ABI role, whoever takes over at Aifa needs to show how passionate they are about representing professional financial advisers during a crucial period of change. They will also need the full backing of the Aifa council to ensure they are spending as much time as possible on the front foot.

Immediate Release: March 20, 2011
DALLAS, Texas. -- Host Dallas Baptist (13-7) limited Binghamton to a pair of hits and scored six runs in its final five innings to post a 6-0 win over the Bearcats (4-9) Monday afternoon from Patriot Field.

Offensively, BU mustered just two hits - a first-inning double by junior first baseman Dave Ciocchi and a third-inning single by freshman shortstop John Howell. Binghamton was retired in order in the second, fourth, fifth, seventh and ninth innings. Down 4-0, the Bearcats loaded the bases in the sixth inning before a flyout to right ended the threat. Binghamton also put runners on first and second in the eighth but couldn't break through.
Sophomore starting pitcher Jay Lynch allowed five runs on six hits in 5.0 innings of work. He struck out two but walked five.
Binghamton plays at University of New Mexico at 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

For nearly a decade, Leslie Feist did not stop moving. Her 2004 Juno award winning album Let It Die led right into 2007's The Reminder, which earned her four Grammy nominations, six Juno wins, the Shortlist Music Prize, and the opportunity to teach Muppets to count on Sesame Street. She made her Saturday Night Live debut and toured the world. She covered an album with Beck, recorded with Wilco and watched Stephen Colbert shimmy in a sequined "1234" jumpsuit, and made a documentary about her visual collaborators on The Reminder. And then, finally, after the seventh year, Feist rested.
"There's a lot of output on tour," she says. "and in the downtime afterwards I was a sponge - I was trying to absorb as much as I put out for seven years. I was being still and trying to learn how to be quiet and remember that silence isn't aggressive," she adds. "Sometimes after being in a lot of noise and movement, silence and stillness can seem completely terrifying."
When Feist was ready to make music again, she had very different ideas about how to shatter the quiet. "I had played so many shows with such care, I really wanted to turn up again," she says, referring to her early days as a guitarist in punk and rock bands.
She wrote the album over 3 autumn months in 2010 in a tiny garage behind her house, after a year away from the spotlight. While the lyrics she has crafted often have an affectingly melancholic undercurrent, the arrangements, in which Feist ups her reputation as a guitarist, unfailingly lift the ear out of melancholy and into inspiration.
In January 2011, her longtime collaborators Chilly Gonzales and Mocky arrived in Toronto to arrange 12 songs that would become her fourth studio album, Metals. The trio spent a frigid month "Trying to sound like we had played together as long as we'd collectively known each other, around 50 years," then decamped for California's rugged Big Sur coastline to record them.
The songs Feist and her band - Gonzales, Mocky, percussionist Dean Stone, and keyboard whiz Brian LeBarton - laid down over two and a half weeks in February 2011 plumb different emotional paths than her previous work. "Time passes, time grabs you as it goes past, and then it changes you. You begin to catch patterns." she muses. "I feel a little bit more like a narrator now. Rather than saying, here's my truth, I'm able to say, here's something I've just observed to be true. Which depending on the day can also be absolutely not true. There's less certainty with time, as much as you'd assume the opposite to be the case."
Metals' songs range from low rumbling and moody ambiences to brutal and intense, as if it sonically maps the fog rolling in and the resulting cracking of thunder. "There's a lot more chaos and movement and noise than I've had before," Feist says. "I allowed for mistakes more than I ever have, which end up not being mistakes when you open things up and make room for them. It was about un-simplifying things and leaning on these masterful minds I have so much respect for. We were sort of testing the air, like a sea captain licks his finger to see which way the wind is coming from. It was less Brill Building and more naturalistic."
Sonically, Feist and her tight-knit crew strove to forge a connection between the future and the past. "There's more interest for me when you overlap histories, you know? When you use the modern facts and advantages of when we're living to bang on things and break things." she says. "There's a bunch of human yelling into the air together, all this group singing that's all over the record, that felt ancient. And (keyboardist) Brian LeBarton really deepened our access to this modern-ancient concept. He has this amazing ability to make modern synthesizers sound extremely ancient. And he can make a celeste, which is basically a harpsichord, sound like it's from Bladerunner. He glued the arrangements Mocky and Gonz and I had made together, truly."
Ultimately, Metals' aesthetic has a deliberate patience, elemental wildness and natural beauty that echoes Feist's new found observations on time. "I read a National Geographic article about soil and modern farming," she says. "The point is for food to grow, the point isn't for it to grow all at once and never grow again. Soil does its job, but unless you let it rest it can't regenerate its own minerals and do the same thing again. You just have to let it lay there under the sun, dry out, get rained on and be still a little while." That she did. And now she's back.

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.Feeding someone, as a gesture of affection or an attempt to win it. (Or both.) The person doing the feeding may not even realize why they feel this desire to feed the other. While they do not have to cook it themselves, that adds to the significance. Related to Feminine Women Can Cook, and often these two tropes are run together in the same plot line. If the main Love Interest is a Tomboy expect her to (often comically) struggle until some older mother figure takes pity on her and helps. Tsundere are prone to it, because it has Plausible Deniability — and can even express unconscious emotions. Girls giving (or sharing) a bento with a male classmate is a common way to invoke this trope. The Japanese Valentine's day chocolate also often falls under this. Men who try this are seldom entirely comfortable with the fact that they are cooking something, but they do it anyway. (Much more pointed, that way.) If the cook is spectacularly terrible, then Hilarity Ensues, particularly if she's the type to drop-kick the Love Interest when he refuses to touch her cooking because it just ate a hole through the table. In addition to the more common romantic version, there is also the occasional mother figure to child version. In this version an older woman (occasionally male but usually a woman) tries to demonstrate maternal love to a younger person by cooking for them. If the child is a Broken Bird, or if the older woman is a Lethal Chef this can result in failure. The Earth Mother, Granny Classic, and Mama Bear — and Real Men Who Cook — engage in this on a regular basis for their children. The Team Chef may do this to express the Power of Friendship for his True Companions. Indeed, any character who cooks on a regular basis probably does this as well. It acts more as a characterization trope, indicating a generalized benevolence toward a large group or even all of humanity (or more), than a particular relationship, though even here it often indicates that a person has been accepted into their True Companions. Supertrope of Your Favorite. Compare Tastes Like Friendship and Food as Bribe. Has nothing whatsoever, aside from Rule 34, to do with Right Through His Pants.

Boost to law staff at University of Greenwich
By poppy_smith | Thursday, October 25, 2012, 21:12
Two new senior posts in international law have been filled at the University of Greenwich, as part of an ongoing programme of investment in research across the institution.
A specialist in international security and maritime affairs, Steven Haines, pictured, has been appointed as the inaugural Professor of Public International Law. A former serving naval officer and member of the Central Policy Staff in the Ministry of Defence, his academic interests include international law relating to oceans and maritime affairs, as well as the use of force and the conduct of military and security operations.
Steven's new post is based in the splendid historic setting of Sir Christopher Wren's former Greenwich Hospital. Now home to the university's Greenwich Campus, it previously housed the Royal Naval Staff College where Steven studied in both 1979 and 1993. "I really feel I am coming home" says Steven, "especially as my office is two doors down the corridor from what was my cabin in 1979!
"I am delighted to be in Greenwich because the university's plans for developing postgraduate teaching and research provide a rare and genuinely exciting opportunity for us really to develop a distinctive identity for the Law School. It is a wonderful privilege to be a part of this."
Most recently, Steven has been working as an academic international lawyer in Geneva, for the Geneva Centre for Security Policy and as an adjunct member of the Faculty at the Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights.
He has just been appointed a Visiting Fellow of the University of Oxford's Changing Character of War Programme and has also held academic posts at Royal Holloway College, University of London; St Antony's College, Oxford; and Cranfield University. Recent publications include two contributions to International Law and the Classification of Conflicts published by OUP in August (edited by Elizabeth Wilmshurst). Currently, Steven is writing the commentary on maritime aspects of the Geneva Convention for a major OUP publication, and drafting international guidelines for the protection of education during armed conflicts.
The university has also appointed to the senior post of Reader in Public International Law. Dr Olga Martin-Ortega has joined Greenwich from the Centre on Human Rights in Conflict at the University of East London where she was a Senior Research Fellow. Her career also encompasses research and teaching posts at Napier University, Edinburgh and the University of Jaén, Spain.
With research interests in business and human rights, post-conflict reconstruction and transitional justice, Olga's recent work focuses on the impact of the activities and working methods of multinational enterprises in conflict zones, the rebuilding of rule of law and transitional justice in Liberia and the work of the War Crimes Chamber of the State Court in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Key publications include co-authoring the current and next editions of International Law (Sweet and Maxwell) and War, Conflict and Human Rights (Routledge).
Sarah Greer, Head of Law, says: "I am delighted that Steven and Olga have joined the Law School and I know that they will both make a significant contribution to developing a vibrant and exciting research environment at Greenwich. Both bring with them impressive academic scholarship in the area of Public International Law, and they will work with existing researchers in the Law School to build a centre of excellence in this field.
"Steven will also contribute to the School's research interest in maritime law, working closely with our colleagues in the university's Greenwich Maritime Institute."

In Microsoft Outlook, images can be added to a contact form or to an Electronic Business Card (Electronic Business Card: A view of specific information about a contact, in a format similar to a paper-based business card, that can be inserted into messages.). This helps you can put a face to a name or a quickly match a logo to a company contact.
If both the sender and the recipient use Microsoft Outlook 2010 or Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, a contact picture appears in e-mail messages when the sender includes a contact photo. The picture appears in the message header (message header: Summary information that you download to your computer to determine whether to download, copy, or delete the entire message from the server. The header includes these fields: Subject, From, Received, Importance, Attachment, and Size.) of the open message and in the header of the message in the Reading Pane (Reading Pane: A window in Outlook where you can preview an item without opening it. To display the item in the Reading Pane, click the item.). Double-click the contact picture to open the contact or right-click the picture for other contact options.
Images added to a contact form, are automatically sized to 90 pixels by 90 pixels. Contact photos can be in most standard graphics file formats, including .jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp, or .tif.

Your contact image might not match that on a contact's Electronic Business Card. For example, a contact might send you an Electronic Business Card that he or she has customized. In this case, adding or changing an image on the contact form (contact form: A view of an individual contact that contains all the information stored in the contact.) does not automatically update the image on the card.

The dollar rose earlier after official U.S. data revealed that orders for long-lasting manufactured goods came in much stronger than expected for April.
In U.S. trading on Thursday, EUR/USD was down 0.05% at 1.2928.
Solid manufacturing data sent the dollar gaining earlier.
The Commerce Department reported earlier that core durable goods orders, which are stripped of volatile transportation items, rose 1.3% in April, far surpassing market expectations for a 0.5% increase after contracting by 1.7% in March.
Broader orders for durable goods, which include transportation items, rose 3.3% last month, more than market calls for a 1.5% increase after a 5.9% contraction in March.
The numbers sparked demand for the greenback earlier by stoking sentiments that the Federal Reserve may be closer to winding down monetary stimulus programs.
Stimulus tools such as the Fed's monthly USD85 billion bond-buying program weaken the dollar to spur recovery, and talk of their dismantling can strengthen the greenback.
The dollar erased those gains later in the session as investors sold the unit and took on risk in the stock market.
The greenback, meanwhile, was down against the pound, with GBP/USD trading up 0.16% at 1.5132.
The dollar was down against the yen, with USD/JPY down 1.08% at 100.91, and down against the Swiss franc, with USD/CHF trading down 0.85% at 0.9606.
Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said earlier that monetary stimulus programs in the country were "necessary" but also "sufficient," which strengthened the yen.
The dollar was up against its cousins in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with USD/CAD up 0.20% at 1.0324, AUD/USD down 1.02% at 0.9648 and NZD/USD trading down 0.61% at 0.8084
The dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback versus a basket of six other major currencies, was down 0.13% at 83.68.

Like Whitman, Horace Greeley, the founder of the New York Daily Tribune, was a journalist from a humble background who grew up in the world of New York city newspapers. Greeley founded the Tribune in 1841 as an inexpensive daily newspaper with a strong reform agenda, including abolition, the elimination of capital punishment, and temperance. Also interested in promoting American literature, Greeley hired many New England writers to provide poems, short fiction, and reviews, and many well-known writers, such as Margaret Fuller, became associated with the increasingly popular and influential newspaper. Greeley, who was an admirer of Whitman's early work as a journalist, published three of Whitman's poems in 1850, all of which were inspired by political events. Signed "Paumanok," "Blood-Money" was a response to Daniel Webster's speech in Congress in support of the Compromise of 1850, which included the Fugitive Slave Law. "The House of Friends" criticized northern Democrats who supported the Compromise of 1850, and "Resurgemus," the only poem of this period that would appear in the first edition of Leaves of Grass (1855) was inspired by the European Revolutions of 1848. Several years later, a prepublication review of Leaves of Grass (1876) and Two Rivulets (1876) included eleven poems. Whitman's last appearance in the Tribune was with "A Death Sonnet for Custer," which commemorates the death of General George Custer on June 25, 1876 at the Battle of Little Big Horn. But the most famous association between Whitman and the New York Tribune was the publication in the newspaper of Ralph Waldo Emerson's letter to Whitman on October 10, 1855, in which he greeted the unknown poet "at the beginning of a great career."

Modern stop signs also use spherical reflectors, but they are now teeny-tiny glass balls embedded into an adhesive tape, made by 3M.
"And by simple letter substitution, the sign can urge the motorist to shop!"
The color of this sign is likely yellow. While the octagon shape was adopted fairly early, making it red was optional in the absence of a durable inexpensive red paint. The need to reflect headlights for night use led to extensive use of small round "button" reflectors inside the text. This sign may have been testing letter coloring and reflectivity.
Hey, boss, look at all the different words we can make if the letters can be swapped!
Don't stop me, I'm on a roll here.

Hugo Chávez Says the U.S. Maybe Gave Him Cancer
Cigarettes, breathing, looking at the sun, sticking your head in a microwave, eating lead paint, etc. Add yet another item to the already long list of totally fun things that cause cancer: Ruling a South American country.
Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez recently insinuated that a plot by the U.S. could be behind his and other political leader's illnesses…
Chavez, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in June and had a baseball-sized tumor removed in Cuba, has called for a regional summit of leaders who have battled cancer including Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, her predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva and Paraguay's Fernando Lugo.
"I'm just sharing my thoughts, but it's very, very, very strange," Chavez said. "Evo take care of yourself, Correa, be careful, we just don't know," he said, referring to Evo Morales and Rafael Correa, the leaders of Bolivia and Ecuador.
The U.S. embassy in Caracas declined to comment on Chávez's theories, seeing as how he also recently called President Obama a clown, said George W. Bush was the devil, and refers to his political enemies as "Imperial Yankees." Even though several of those theories may sound credible, there's no way our government is capable of giving specific leaders long-term diseases.
Or is there? After all, the U.S. did give Osama bin Laden that bullet-sized tumor.

This morning was a little rough, but when the sea smoothed out, the afternoon became a fantastic sail - and then, almost too soon, we were there, at R2 buoy outside of Newport, the specific sailing destination.
More descriptions tomorrow. For now - adjustment and sleep.
Cold front passage was pretty benign, but we got the full coastal package when we rounded Nantucket Shoals - 25-30knt headwind, really bad chop, fishing boats arising out of nowhere to cluster in the most awkward places for us. Too rough to type now - more later.
Pleasant morning here on George's Bank off the Massachusets coast.
Things get a little trickier later this evening and overnight, as an intense cold front is forecast to pass just as we near the Nantucket Shoals. But for now - pure peace.

Plural nouns
Compound nouns
Tradott mill-Ingliz minn ...
When we connect to nouns to each other, we usually have to place -en between them.
In spoken Dutch, we usually do not (or hardly) pronounce the letter 'n', which makes it hard to determine whether you have to write -e or -en. On this page, you will find a few guidelines to distinguish between the connectors -e and -en.
We write -e if the first word of the compound noun:
There are so many exceptions to the above rules, that it is always wise to check the spelling in a dictionary or at www.woordenlijst.org.
1. The first word is a person or an object of which there is obviously only one:
2. The first word is not a noun:
Note that most compound words that start with a verb or adjective get no connector? at all. Thig guideline simply tells you that if we do use a connector, it must be -e.
3. The compound is fossilized, i.e. the meaning of the compound word is not the sum of the meanings of its separate components
The last guideline must be really hard for non-native speakers!
In general, we connect words by -en, unless they fall under one of the three categories above.
Apart from the distinction between -e and -en, we must be able to establish when to use -en or -s. The latter is another common connector, which we will discuss in detail on the next page.
We use the connector -en if the first word exclusively takes -en as a plural ending. Since this is the case for the majority of Dutch words, -en is the most common connector.
