What rohan asked was simple question but it stirred so many memories in her heart �long forgotten memories of Ashuthosh! She closed her eyes as his smiling face flashed in her mind �like bright sunshine it warmed her, soother her heart! �She found herself back in those days when life was easy and uncomplicated, where he waited for her every evening near tea shop �.where they both sat watching sun go down over the horizon, sipping strong adrak chai �where he recited poems of his choices, in his deep husky voice�.where she used to sit looking into his deep eyes�.
She was jolted out of her thoughts when rohan asked her �" So what happened?"
Nidhi shrugged her shoulder" nothing happened �."
Rohan looked at her disapprovingly "you mean to say, there is no story?"
" of course there was ! Else why you think I still remember him �."
"Then tell me what happened?"
"Rohan , can't you just drop this subject �.whatever it was , its ended !"
" No , I can't drop this subject and what do you mean by ended �..And when this happened?, Nidhi its better you tell me ��Please "
Nidhi sighed , to her to talk about him felt like remembering long forgotten dream , beautiful dream indeed �.Looking at Rohan's expectant face ..she smiled " I don't know why he came �or what made him leave abruptly �still not sure ! it's like puzzle which I can't solve .."
" ohh stop talking in riddles �"
Nidhi smiled "He was more like riddle to me, still! �.its during my graduation days, when you were away to do your masters �. He came to our college as professor�.with his high qualified foreign degrees and good experience he could have got high paying job in cities but I don't know why he preferred to come to Lucknow �..he was way too handsome and he had that sweet smile which can easily kill anyone �All girls used to die to get a glimpse of him. He was different from everyone completely, so unlike those boys who never left a single chance to show off � kind , gentle and shy , more like lost little boy to my eyes �.." Rohan smiled looking at her face , right at that moment , Nidhi looked so different , not the helpless girl but someone he never seen �there was smile on her face when she talked about him as if she is remembering a beautiful dream after so many years
Sensing his silence she continued �."Whenever I saw him, I felt there was something in him, deep and vast inside his heart which he always kept to himself�something which he can't share with anyone �.!"
Rohan stared at her " did you went out with him �..Nidhi , you dated your professor ..Not bad!
Nidhi smiled " No , We never dated , I don't know what to call it �.Even though he never acknowledged our relations �.but I can't deny the fact that something was there between us �it was there "
"Why he left ?"
Nidhi shook her head �" I don't know, one day I went to his place and found it locked and soon after that we got the news that he resigned ��"
"Dint you tried to contact him�."
" I tried �.But I couldn't reach him, sometime I wonder did he really came into my life �."
Rohan looked at her " you loved him dint you ?"
Nidhi smiled " yes , I did �Loved him immensely, as much as 20yr old can love ..Look at you why are you asking these questions? �.are you jealous? "
Rohan snorted "jealous of him why? �"
"dint you just said that you love me and want to marry me ?"
"Ohhh , Nidhi you took it seriously , poor you �.I was just joking !"
Nidhi chuckled looking at his face and pushed him away playfully �Rohan smiled and glared at her in mock anger " Nidhi , you are such a liar �!"
" what ? �.."
" I said you are liar �."
"why you think , I am lying ?"
"Then why are you using past tense �.You still love him not loved him! I can see that in your face �." Nidhi looked away to hide her expression " I don't know �..!"
"Did he loved you?"
Nidhi buried her face and after a while she looked up �" yes , I think so ��May be He loved me more than I loved him !"
Ashuthosh saved the presentation which he was working on and shut down his system...he stretched his body and closed his eyes. he sat like that for some time and got up to move towards parking lot �.
The night was dark and chilly; Darkness was deep with scatter of stars and sickle of moon .he moved towards deserted road piercing through darkness .He could hear sound of sea splashing to shore and the light humming sound of music playing in nearby pub �.it checked his watch to find its nearing to 12 �he speeded and reached home and pulled his car in drive way. HK opened door for him and waited until he settled down on couch ..." Ashuthosh beta �.Khana laga doon ?"
Ashuthosh shook his head " Nahi kaka , aap sojayiye , main baad main kha loonga .."
Hk nodded his head and went inside�.after sometime, hurrying up the stairs; he went to Ayan's room to find his son sleeping peacefully, he bent down and slowly kissed his forehead �the child stirred in his sleep and half opened his eyes enquiringly to look at Ashuthosh .after Ayan drifted back to his slumber slowly Ashuthosh got up , left the bedroom and closed the bedroom behind him , leaning slightly there for a moment before walking down to his room.
In his room , Ashuthosh moved towards huge glass window overlooking city, he pressed his hand on it and looked out at those shimmering lights of city �To him , it always felt in this city ,architecture , these huge building breath more than humans live in it �.to him it felt like they just exist! .they all looked same , like zombie ..caught up in this never ending exhausting materialistic life � He turned around to stare at his dead wife's photo �her warm smile speeded across her face �he stared at her face, she always looked like stranger to him even when he got married to her , even when she died just a month after their marriage..He did not felt tiniest pain when he got the news that she died. It worried him and same time made him feel guilty. Every night he stared at her photo just for few minutes as if he is trying to memories her face because strangely he started forgetting her face and everything related to her ..!
Thinking all these, he striped off his clothes, leaving them like dump on his cold floor...he walked under power shower. He switched it on as needles of cold water bounced on his bare chest and shoulder �keeping his palms flattened on tiles he wondered � He paused and tried to remember when is that , he last laughed his heart out and when is that he felt brutally alive �as if answer to his question her face flashed in his mind ..he remembered ,looking at her , waiting for her every evening �.he can smell her , the heady taunting fragrance of her �.his nidhi's !
He remembered going to Lucknow when he felt life was freezing him with its mundane routine. He remembered lurking in those streets like lost little boy searching something which will make him love his life, which will make him alive �.. Like answer to his prayers, he found her �..He remembered her young and leggy � with her thick dark hair tumbling down her back and he remembered the sound of her laughter �. she had the loudest laughter he ever heard, at first he resented it but later on ,he kind of started liking it..her laughter always bewitched him�it was more innocent and beautiful ! It was her smile which made him fall in love with her head over heels, it was her innocence which drived him to her �..Her simple nature to trust and accept a person as he is, made him fall in love with her �
Not sure when and how. He couldn't remember how it started..there were time when he thought he lived every moment wanting her and it terrified him , this overwhelming feeling forming in his existence �he wondered how many nights he slept aching for her �.it amazed him, the power she still have over him after all these years . He don't have to search for her photo to memorize her face , just closing his eyes ..he can see her , feel her �.hear her giggles echoing in his heart making crave for her even more �..
He turned off the shower and stood there until last droplet fell on his neck�.looking down at floor, suddenly he felt terribly depressed and lonely �a feeling pushed him to tears like he will never be able to rekindle the feeling what once he felt for nidhi again in his life �like he will never be able to feel loved and beloved again. Standing there he cursed himself, for leaving her so abruptly �.he cursed himself for leaving her behind...for breaking her heart. For spoiling everything �.that moment, in gnawing emptiness he missed her terribly �ached for her �.and longed for her presence as thick warm tears trickled down his face�he wept for her , for him ..And for them!
After spending sleepless night in his king size bed, Ashuthosh got up and got ready for his early morning jog �. He prefer this time, this early morning to ready himself for another mundane life... He looked around and saw joggers busy stretching, extending their muscles, some simply sitting watching deep ocean just enjoying the serene silence �. In between vegetables vendors getting ready for their another day , selling buying �trying to survive another day
He let his head fall back and gazed into dark blue sky...he wondered, how strange it is where below everything is such chaos and messy when up there ..In sky, peaceful and sweet with genteelness!
He bought; big balloon for Ayan on his way back from the boy who always stood near ocean, shivering in early morning cold .hurriedly he reached his son's bedroom and saw that he is still fast asleep, with his plump hand clutching his teddy �.he was sleeping peacefully!
Ashuthosh ruffled his hair and tied the balloon to nearby table. �!
After getting ready, he came down to see BB sitting on dining table with his breakfast; he joined Bb wishing him good morning �..Soon Ayan was led to table by his nanny Martha �.Bb coughed to get his attention " Ashuthosh , tomorrow is out flight �..you remember rite ? about our holiday plan ..Mine and HK "
Ashu nodded his head still chewing his food �." Yes baba �"
" You should have at least asked me once before sending us on holiday �how you will manage ..Even ayan will be alone without us .."
"he will be fine Baba , don't worry ..Martha is here to take care of him �"Ashuthosh Smiled at his son, who was staring at him expectantly �after a while Ayan gave him faint smile and nodded his head. After that there was awkward silence between them �.Ayan looked up indicating he is done with his breakfast , and soon he was led to his room to get ready for school ..Before going, slowly he turned around and looked at Ashuthosh and muttered "Thank you Baba �.For Balloon "
Ashuthosh barely smiled and nodded his head
Bb who was looking at this clutched ashuthosh's hand "Ashuthosh , I now �can understand your busy schedule but give some time to Ayan ! �He is still kid and he need you right now �..Without us he might feel alone"
" Baba , it's not that I don't want to spend time with him �you know my routine and �he will not alone �as I said ,Martha will be there for him all the time "
BB Looked away �" She is not his parent Ashuthosh �she is his nanny and as I said ..he needs you �his baba not some nanny to take care of his needs ..I know, can understand but daily few hours with him might cheer him �..Lately he became very silent and it is troubling me�At this age of his, it's so unusual to be so quiet �"
Ashuthosh pondered over what baba said and nodded his head" yes baba , I will �.take care of him , you don't worry "
And Bb understood that it is end of subject �As Ashuthosh got up collecting his things to go to office.
Nidhi picked up the call; it was from Rohan "Nidhi, whats up? �."
"Rohan, how come you called at this time �."
" I have off today , so wondering will you be there in your caffe ? can I drop in �.?"
" yes , I will be here till 2 and then I have a interview to attend .."
" cool ..I am coming, In between ..is Manya round ?"
" why ?"
" ohh nothing ..just thinking to flirt around with her for a bit �.."
Nidhi huffed ..." oh please rohan, Perish the thought �she don't even let you come near her , she have brains not like your anorexic girl friends �"
Rohan chuckled �" by the way , do your caffe serve kopi luwak ?"
" no , what is it ?"
" its coffee made of animal poop �."
" eeks , don't tell me , you want to drink that �.!"
" yes , I want to �"
" get off my phone rohan �you are dirty "
Rohan chuckled as he hung up the phone �..
Ashuthosh Came to his cabin to find MR tyagi waiting for him �" Hello Ashuthosh, good afternoon �.Heard you acquired those gold mine deals not bad haan �." He smiled showing his tobacco stained teeth. Ashuthosh briefly nodded his head and sank in his chair � he disliked this man, completely and thoroughly �for being such a mean hearted person .he even heard stories of him flirting around openly with young employees, trying to lure them with his power �.He can stand anything but not this �.but still, he has to get along since the man has some brains, he know how to manage, manipulate a person which is most needed in corporate world.. He was pulled out to reality, as his HR representative came inside "Sir , we shortlisted some candidates �.if you are ready , can I send them inside for final round ? "
Ashuthosh took the file and briefly checked few entries �" yes, Please �..!"
Mr tyagi , who was observing this exchange of words , stopped HR guy and asked .."�.who is the first candidate...?"
HR guy checked his notepad and spoke "sir , Nidhi ..nidhi verma �"
Ashuthosh who was busy looking at files suddenly looked up �..Mere mention of her name sent thousands of thoughts running in his head �He heard Tyagi muttering under his breath " �Nice name though �.! " giving leering smile at the door �Ashuthosh controlled his rage which is building up , he so wanted to smash this guy's face just right there �.Before he could even react , he heard door to his cabin clicked open and there she was standing ��His Nidhi ! With eyes empty with pained reality �.swelling with exhaustion! He barely recognized her ..the Nidhi he knew looked lost somewhere on the way �the smile he loved the most was replaced with disdain ..And even in that situation, to have her back in front of him, stirred all memoires , churning up with fresh sprouts of love and longing �And right there he understood , sensed �felt that he loved her outrageously , endlessly and he still do �Love her same way!

Hi, I'm learning ruby/rails and
I don't understand the difference between map and each in the below examples. Specifically, why each doesn't work.
I could ignore it but it's bothering me and I think it might be fundamental later on.Code:
irb(main):152:0> %w[a b c].each { |char| char.upcase }
=> ["a", "b", "c"]
irb(main):153:0> %w[a b c].map { |char| char.upcase }
I tried googling it but the hits I found on the differences used examples I didn't understand and were over my head.

Three high school athletes recently officially committed to join the Loyola University cross country and track and field teams, according to head coach Andy Canegitta. Harley Augustine, Raquel Derganz Baker and Anthony Pigford will run with the 'Pack in 2011-12.
The Loyola University New Orleans baseball team has moved its scheduled doubleheader against LSU-Alexandria to Acadiana Ballpark in New Iberia.
Loyola dropped a non-conference double header to LSU-Alexandria 8-3 in the first game and 4-1 in the nightcap at Generals Field on Wednesday.

EDGEWATER, Fla. (AP) - A 5-year-old boy accidentally shot himself in the foot after grabbing a shotgun off a table at a Volusia County home.
Edgewater police say the boy's grandfather had been cleaning the shotgun Friday morning when set the weapon on a table to clean another gun. The boy, who was not identified, grabbed the shotgun and fired it. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for the foot wound.
Police say they aren't planning to charge the grandfather.

Emily Davies joined the WSAW-TV news team in October 2013 and is ecstatic about being back in the great state of Wisconsin.
Emily came to WSAW-TV all the way from California's San Francisco Bay Area, but was born and raised in Southeastern Wisconsin and spent many years in the Pewaukee/Waukesha area. She also spent some time in Los Angeles and graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelors Degree in journalism and a minor in psychology from California State University, Northridge (CSUN).
Whether she was in the Bay Area or around the Hollywood scene, Emily was always active in local newsrooms.
She interned with KTVU Channel 2 in Oakland, CA, the FOX affiliate for the Bay Area during her summers and at the ABC affiliate in Los Angeles, KABC 7, while at CSUN.
Emily also worked on CSUN's weekly newscast and public affairs show, Valley View News and CSUN On Point where she held multiple positions during her time there. One Valley View Newscast that she co-produced, sports anchored, and assisted in team coverage reporting won the Mark of Excellence Award: Best All-Around Television Newscast from the Society of Professional Journalist. She also had the opportunity to cover major stories like the Shuttle Endeavour's trek through Los Angeles and the national election. Emily worked at CSUN's radio station, KCSN as a writer and reporter, as well.
When not searching out stories, Emily can be found going off on adventures around town, cheering on the Packers (no, she did not lose her loyalty while in California), and learning something new.
She'd love to hear from you and any story ideas you may have! You can reach her at email@example.com or on Facebook and Twitter.

New York City's fire commissioner says rescue workers have searched the rear basement of the site of a deadly gas explosion, but haven't yet reached the area where the piping and meters will help explain what caused the blast that killed eight people.
Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said Saturday that the investigation of the piping and the meters will likely start on Sunday when workers can reach deeper into the basement.
Cassano says he believes the National Transportation Safety Board can start pressure-testing the pipes on Sunday.
Cassano says no more bodies have been found in the rubble. He says about 15 percent of the debris is left on the site.

The egg of the ceviche
Ceviche is a classic Peruvian dish with simple but decidedly delectable ingredients including raw fish, onion, salt, cilantro and garlic – tantalizingly tossed in lime juice. For David Knight, Intrepid's Community Based Tourism researcher in Peru, his recent experiences examining local perspectives of tourism impacts in the Sacred Valley town of Chichubamba could well be compared to the preparation of a fine ceviche. David tells us why…
"Now, given the references to my pasty, peeling skin in previous blog posts, you might be inclined to see me as the raw fish in this citrus soup metaphor; and, until recently, I might have been inclined to agree with you. But I learned a new Peruvian phrase yesterday while talking with an Intrepid leader, and it seemed a truer analogy to my experiences thus far.
How to be an animal-friendly traveller
"One main factor in the upward trend of animal life has been the power of wandering", said mathematician and philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead.
It certainly adds up to us at Intrepid, that experiencing animals you may have never seen before, in new environments, is part of the very essence of travelling. However, with the amazing opportunity that this presents, comes an obligation to act in a responsible way to best ensure the welfare of the animals.
Get your ticket to freedom
The freedom to travel is something we Intrepid travellers cherish. But for many, the freedom to read this article, to speak or act without restraint, is denied. That's where buying a raffle ticket can help!
For over 50 years, Amnesty International has protected individuals around the world wherever freedom, truth and justice are denied. They shine a light into dark corners, exposing human rights abuses and campaign for human rights to be upheld. In the last year, Amnesty's work has brought freedom to hundreds of vulnerable people and helped to at last achieve an international Arms Trade Treaty.
Sustainability starts with kids
"There are many small non-government organisations which try to make a difference by their humanitarian efforts to help malnourished and disadvantaged children, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. Yet this work is not considered 'sustainable', THE buzz word when applying for grants or donations", writes Sonia Newhouse who works high in the Peruvian Andes. "But what could be more sustainable than children, for the future of their societies and countries!"
"Sustainability of projects is recognised by most large and small donors as 'the' qualification when receiving grant applications, as they are then considered to be self-sustaining and will therefore only need a one-off donation.
Hearts soar in Tibet
When we have planned a journey for years, there is always a risk that when the time comes it won't live up to our expectations. But that wasn't the case for Chris Marcic, when she finally got to realise a life-long travel dream…
"I had been fascinated by the Dali Lama since I followed his flight to freedom in the year I turned nine. I promised myself one day I would travel to Tibet to see the country that created such a man.
Celebrating a special Mandela Day
This year, following the legacy of Nelson Mandela, or Madiba as we call him, our Intrepid South Africa team celebrated Mandela day by helping out in our local community, trying to do something that actually makes a difference.
Benjamin Disraeli wrote "The youth of a nation are the trustees of prosperity."
How can chilli and honey protect elephants?
Meet Prisca Laurence, beekeeper officer and chilli fence monitor in Minungo, Tanzania. Prisca is working with World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), an Intrepid Foundation partner, on an ingenious and sustainable project to help local people safeguard their livelihoods, whilst protecting elephants.
In Tanzania, with people encroaching on lands once inhabited only by animals, conflict has arisen due to elephants raiding farms to pillage tasty crops. One large elephant is capable of quickly destroying a whole field, so villagers have been forced to take drastic action, including setting painful snares and in the worst case scenario, hunting and killing rogue elephants. And that is where Prisca comes into the picture, when it was discovered that these giant creatures, with their long and sensitive noses, despise chilli and bees!
I Am A Girl: Aziza's story
Aziza lives in Afghanistan. She is intelligent and loves going to school. As the middle girl in a family with 5 children, her day starts early. Before going to school she has to do domestic work, which includes fetching water, cleaning the floor, feeding the chickens and making the breakfast.
The Taliban killed Aziza's father, so there is added financial pressure on the family. School is almost a respite, where she can learn and excel. Back home from school the chores begin again, but somehow she squeezes in 5 hours study per night so she can achieve her goal of being the best in class and perhaps, one day, the first female President of Afghanistan.
Qinnie's life-changing adventure
Qinnie Wang describes herself as "just an ordinary girl" who lives and works in Canberra, Australia's capital, and loves to travel.
But it was during her Great Indochina Loop trip with Intrepid late last year, that the seed was planted for a major change in her life purpose and direction. Qinnie explains more…
The road to Chichubamba
Some adrenaline junkies will go far and wide to find the next big thing. For David Knight, Intrepid's Community Based Tourism researcher in Peru, an adrenaline rush came quite unexpectedly the other day during a mini-van ride from Cuzco to Urubamba in Peru's Sacred Valley…
"Keep hands and feet inside the car at all times, 'cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness. The final words of warning from the old cowboy on Disney's Big Thunder Mountain kept running through my head as our driver took one harrowing turn after another. A woman walking beside the highway with her baby strapped to her back appeared entirely at ease as we sped by, the baby barely turning its head beneath a brilliantly-colored cloth.

Book Description:
Renowned American photographer Jack Watson traveled to Cuba on a legal humanitarian visa. He chronicled his journey with breathtaking, and often heartbreaking, images of the Cuban people, cites, and countryside. Watson describes his visit:"I had stepped back in time 50 years — this was my first impression of Cuba. My journey, which began in Havana, consisted of traveling by bus, pedicab, coco cab, 1957 Chevy, and foot. I was here primarily to help the Cuban people, but giving away medicine, vitamins, and money felt like using aspirin to treat the plague. I covered hundreds of miles, traveling in an oval-shaped route with stops at Cienfuegos, the Bay of Pigs, Trinidad, and Varadero Beach in the province of Matanzas — and then back to Havana.As the title of this book indicates, this is an unauthorized journal of photographs taken during my visit. While I certainly share similar and compassionate thoughts about humanitarian aid toward people in need, I felt a greater calling in compiling the images for this book. If one picture is indeed worth thousands of words, then this is an encyclopedic portrayal of the real, hidden Cuba. This is not a travel guide; I'll leave that for the tourism industry. It is, however, a behind-the-scenes look at the Cuba that tourists never see.I have tried to present a wide portrayal of images that will allow the viewer to see all aspects of Castro's Cuba. You cannot look at the glitz alone and make logical conclusions about this country; while there is some beauty, there is more decay. While the country is admittedly a communist enclave, when looking at these images, one has to ask if this form of government was the right choice for the Cuban people. You be the judge — the story is in your hands."Atlantic Publishing is a small, independent publishing company based in Ocala, Florida.

FORT WORTH -- A charter school system that boasts that 100 percent of its high school graduates are accepted into college announced Wednesday that it plans to open four schools in Fort Worth.Uplift Education officials did not disclose the schools' locations but said efforts have been focused on southeast Fort Worth.The first three schools are expected to open next year -- two elementary schools and a middle school temporarily housed at one of the elementary sites. In 2014, a secondary campus housing the middle and high schools would open."We really take a regional approach," Uplift founder Rosemary Perlmeter said Wednesday at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel. "We have so many students interested in our schools with a long waiting list. We knew there was a broader need to expand. I never imagined that we would go from one school to more than 20 educational programs and keep growing from there."Uplift is a Dallas-based nonprofit that receives state money to run the public charter schools. It has also received grants from philanthropic groups including the Amon G. Carter Foundation, Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Rainwater Charitable Foundation and Sid W. Richardson Foundation.It operates 19 schools at nine locations across North Texas, including Summit International Preparatory in Arlington, that focus on rigorous academics and college readiness.Summit senior Emily Carlson said she wasn't initially interested in going to school there. As a freshman, she was happy at her traditional public high school, though she felt that she wasn't being challenged except for a few Advanced Placement classes.But at her parents' urging, she decided to visit Summit."I absolutely fell in love with the school that day," Carlson said of the high school, which is rated exemplary by the state. "Everyone there cares about doing well. At a regular public school, you have some students who are just there because they have to be. Their parents made them. But at Summit, everyone wants to be there. The students want to excel."Carlson said Summit's workload is heavier, with more homework and projects than she was used to. But she said she also gets more one-on-one support in the smaller classes.Uplift also has campuses in Irving and Dallas and plans to add more in those cities.In The Washington Post's rankings of the nation's top high schools this year, North Hills Preparatory in Irving was 11th and Peak Preparatory in Dallas was 12th.About 90 percent of Uplift students are minorities, and nearly 60 percent come from low-income families, school officials said. Uplift has about 6,000 students and plans to have 13,000 by 2015.Southeast-side focusUplift's plans to open charter schools in Fort Worth are part of a fast-changing effort to revitalize academics and spur development in the southeast part of the city."We are focusing on southeast Fort Worth because it has been economically and educationally underserved," said George P. Bush, a local attorney who is chairman of the Fort Worth Uplift board.Bush, a former high school teacher and the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has been instrumental in bringing the charter schools to the city.The Fort Worth school district is working to improve education in the area east of Interstate 35W and south of Interstate 30, where many of its lowest-performing schools are.This year, the district launched new career and college-prep programs at each of its 13 high schools. Trustees recently approved converting the Dunbar 6th Grade Center on the east side to an all-boys academy focused on college readiness.Various programs, including those aimed at attracting the best teachers to the most-struggling schools, have been implemented in many east-side campuses.Additionally, former Dallas Cowboys star Deion Sanders is part of an unrelated charter school group called Uplift Fort Worth, which plans to open a campus off Lancaster Avenue near Oakland Boulevard next year.Working togetherAndre McEwing, executive director of Southeast Fort Worth Inc., said he's excited about Uplift Education's plans and the changes on his side of town. He said Uplift's efforts should not be seen as competing against local schools but as strengthening opportunities for everyone."We need to have quality, affordable and progressive education choices in the city of Fort Worth and in particular in southeast Fort Worth," he said. "Working in concert with what the Fort Worth school district is already doing will help spur much-needed economic development and growth in that area."Mayor Betsy Price said quality education citywide is the key to moving Fort Worth forward. The City Council and school district trustees recently met to discuss working together to address needs, including a possible natatorium partnership in southeast Fort Worth.Price recently issued a call for more businesses and volunteers to get involved in education."Fort Worth is challenging its public schools to step it up, and Uplift will be a part of that," she said.Eva-Marie Ayala, 817-390-7700

Norberto Colón is an assistant director of public safety for the City of Cleveland, overseeing the Office of Homeland Security, Grants, and Technology. The office is responsible for leveraging grants and technology under an all-hazards approach to assist the daily operations of public safety and help the city prevent, protect, respond, and recover from major events and crisis situations in an effort to minimize the impact on lives, property, and the economy. Colón began his service with the city in 2002 in the Department of Workforce Development. He also worked for two years in the city's Empowerment Zone where he quickly became senior labor force manager. In 2004, Colón became the grants administrator in the Department of Public Safety where he oversaw over $17 million in homeland security related grants. He is a certified hazmat technician, first responder hazmat/WMD/PPE awareness trainer, and WMD radiological/nuclear awareness trainer. Colón holds a Bachelor's Degree in psychology from John Carroll University and an Associate's Degree in private investigation.
I am one of three assistant directors for the Department of Public Safety. My specific area of responsibility is the Office of Homeland Security, Grants, and Technology. They're three separate distinct sections but they are all related. The largest part of what we do is the public safety IT side, where we handle and support 3,000 public safety employees: records management systems, to their dispatching system, the computers, and the police, fire, and ambulances, all the way to the computer on the director of public safety's desk. That is the bulk of the work that we do on a daily basis. Next obviously is the office of homeland security. Within that office we operate the emergency operations center (EOC) for the city, we also coordinate all of the homeland security incident command—terrorism, WMD preparedness training efforts—and we coordinate from the city's standpoint, the emergency operations plan (EOP) and all the annexes associated with that plan. The third section is that of grants, where we handle all of the grants for the public safety department. All three departments are related in that most of those capital improvements come from grants that usually are used to pay for some type of IT project that helps the homeland security side of the house.
What makes us unique, at least compared to some other cities, is that we don't have those major daily occurrences or disasters that many of the other large cities do. We don't have major flooding, especially within the core city. There's flooding throughout Cuyahoga County, but that rarely affects the City of Cleveland. We don't have the hurricane season that other cities have, traditionally we don't have any large earthquakes, nor do we often have any tornadoes coming though the major cities of our area.
But our county is unique in that we are the largest county in the state of Ohio, and Cleveland is the area's metropolitan hub. We have a large airport system, a large transit system throughout the city and the county; and a large water infrastructure. Downtown Cleveland is full of your typical sporting venues that draw several thousand folks on any given day, a large banking sector, and we're know mainly for our large medical infrastructure throughout the city, which includes the Cleveland Clinic. There are a lot of unique areas within Cuyahoga County. But from an infrastructure standpoint, from a planning standpoint at least, I think most of our planning comes from one of two areas: obviously the threat of terrorism that every municipality faces really, and then weather. We have some unique weather, whether it's in the middle of August, when it can get well over 100 degrees, or in the middle of winter it will be well below zero. Weather can be very challenging for us here.
The boundaries of the UASI region are the boundaries of Cuyahoga County. That consists of the core city of Cleveland, which is represented by my office, and then Cuyahoga County has a representative, which comes from its justice affairs office. We are set up in an urban area working group. The urban area working group's biggest focus is really on preparedness efforts throughout the county. And through that effort we collectively, as a group, decide how to disperse that UASI funding and any state homeland security funding that comes our way. So that is one of their responsibilities as a group. An executive committee encompasses city and county officials, but also subgroups. And those subgroups represent fire, emergency medical services, public health, obviously law enforcement, the Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, and each of those subgroups has its own internal groups in which they talk about specific planning areas. A good example is law enforcement. The law enforcement subgroup gets together on a regular basis, and when they need to they talk about funding and their priorities, but mostly they talk about where they stand with their preparedness efforts, whether it's through local policing efforts or through SWAT teams, bomb teams or canine groups. They start their planning efforts locally and pass any of their concerns or their responsibilities or any of their planning efforts up to the planning committee.
The most common answer probably is funding; you never have enough funding to do what you need to do, but we don't put that at number one. We're really grateful for any dollar that we get and we try to use it wisely. But our number one challenge probably is time. I think when we established the homeland security office several years ago, the core goals were to get an EOC up and running, get an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) based on some of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's guidance. Subsequently every year we work on different planning structures, and we're at the point now where every year you want to update plans that are already written. So every year we have to consider the "next" plan that we don't have, and we have to examine existing plans that need to be updated. And for all of those plans you have to exercise them and look at your capabilities such as in terms of equipment. So clearly our number one challenge is time to be able to get these things completed.
There are a couple things, but I think the most tangible item that you can clearly see that gets used on a regular basis is the city's EOC. There's no question that absent the post-9-11 homeland security mission, it probably wouldn't have existed, or at least would not have existed in the fashion that it does today with all of its technological capabilities. That is clearly a success and an asset that is available to anybody in the region to use, to train, and it's there for managing any type of event or incident. Clearly that's a success. I think the larger success though is probably that of collaboration. I think this UASI in particular has really gotten the region together. There are roughly 60 municipalities within Cuyahoga County, many of them have their own infrastructure, whether it's radio, whether it's records on the law enforcement side, police departments, or fire services, but this homeland security effort post 9-11 really brought us even closer together, I think especially as it relates to special teams: the hazmat teams within the county, the swat teams, and the bomb teams. I think that's probably been our greatest success. We know who the players are, we know them by name, and that's something that's new over the last 7-8 years.
There's no question the recession has been very challenging. I think on the preparedness side of the house we have been able to continue doing what we do with the funding that we've been receiving. We continue moving forward on that side. However, the recession really has caused some hardship for our daily operations. And in those municipalities within Cuyahoga County I think that you're going to see more of sharing of resources. I think at the end of the day that's a good idea, and it's the future, and I think that's how we're going to cope with it not only internally within the city—we've been looking at how we can share some of our resources and streamline the way we do business—but that's absolutely happening at the county level. Everything's on the table, whether it's consolidation of dispatching functions, records management systems, IT staffs, emergency operations centers, or basic fire services; I think the conversation has even trickled over to waste collection services. We look like we'll be at a point next year where we can't continue to do those services in our own silos, but we'll need to provide better services and save money at the same time.

Isn't She Lovely
What Happens When The Most Beautiful Woman In The Room Isn't You
"Girls, this is Helen," the Judas of the evening says. "We work together. She and her boyfriend just broke up, so I thought I'd ask her out tonight." She pauses, and then adds with too much enthusiasm, "With the rest of us single ladies."
"Are you crazy?" you feel like screaming. "You've gone and rendered the rest of us invisible!" You make a mental note to ask Judas what she could possibly see in this Helen girl (this surely unabashed flirt) later in the evening.
Your reaction, although not entirely justified, is normal. "In the back of their minds, women tend to be very cautious when they see a physically beautiful woman," says Jessica Weiner, author of Life Doesn't Begin 5 Pounds From Now. "There is an ingrained competitive spark. Part of that is biological. But most of it comes from the societal pressure that women have to compete with other women in order to find a mate."
To your surprise (and somewhat disappointment), Helen turns out to be perfectly nice. She deflects attention away from herself by constantly asking you questions. Despite yourself, you kind of begin to like her.

I am now almost 19, and I had bought a 91 passat 5spd in august of 2002(i was 16). I got it with 192k on the odometer. I had it for a year and a half and got it to 212K. I don't know what the review called "91 Passat breaks more than it works by RIchie" was talking about. the stereo is the easiest out there. the factory stereo uses the same "DIN" and overall dimensions as ANY aftermarket stereo, they just slide right in. I say best I've owned, out of a *93 Saturn SL2 auto (1.9L DOHC). *THIS PASSAT(2.0L DOHC 16Valve) *91 Ford Crown Victoria (5.0L V8) *94 Pontiac Grand-Am (quad-4) auto *85 Cutlass Supreme (V6)(pimp ride) *88 Lincoln Towncar (5.0L V8) (fully optioned w/ sunroof)
Terrible car, cannot understand how VW
has the reputation that they do. The
car has great style and has every extra
you could want but what do they matter
when you can't drive it? The quality is
the worst i've heard of and repairs are
very expensive. This car is past its
time, often repair costs in a year
exceed the original cost of the car. DO
NOT BUY AN AUTOMATIC!!! Auto trannies
are notorious as one of the worst out
i have had this car for less than a
year, and it's an absolute joy to
drive. i have the 5 speed version,
and recommend that everyone learn how
to drive a manual transmission. I've
had a few minor maintenance issues
with the car, but nothing serious
considering there is over 280,000 KM
on it. Engine still has excellent
I bought this car from my sister, she
bought it as is. Bad move. She had a
hell of a time getting it to pass
emmissions, and had the front brakes
done, as well as numerous belts
changed. She barely drove it for a
period of a year, and I bought it from
her. Things that have gone wrong since
I've had it:
CV Boots, timing belt, 2 V-Belts, rear
brakes totally ceased (new calipers
pads and rotors), alternator, rear
muffler (this car has 3 of them), pipe
leading from exhaust manifold to cat
converter, heater core, ingnition
switch, rear left passenger window
Just bought the car and am well aware
of the upcoming costs...but this is the
most stylish of all the 90's VW's. It
is different and has all the bells and
whistles. It is fun to drive and is
built with class.
I bought this car as my first
car...what a nightmare. The car
stereo is immpossible to change and if
you do change it, it will cost you an
arm and a leg. There are new problems
with my particular passat every week
(literally). Brakes, timing belts,
cooling system, you name it, it can go
wrong with this car.

Traditional Louisiana Gumbo from Doxology author, Brian Holers
I grew up with a wonderful set of parents, I was one of the lucky ones. So many stories surround the dysfunctional aspects of childhood, the damaged people who survive and their fight to find themselves and find their way back to a place of balance. Many of these stories involve the journey to find the love of their lost faith, Doxology is one of these books.
This story is about more than simple familial dysfunction. It is tale of fathers, sons and brothers and a journey back to home to find the lost ties that are of this faith that is so deeply rooted in family. It is a story of these men and the ties that bind them together. Living with a southern man, I can say that food is one way that has always bound his family together. Geoff is an Atheist so faith and belief do not play a part in his life. But come Sunday evening when he is with his family, even if he was not at the church pew that morning, he can be found breaking bread with them all.
It is the same with my family, we may not agree with our varying beliefs and how we practice them. Or agree with how to raise our children or how we live our lives. But we can all agree to sit down and share a meal. To share our love for each other, to feel the warmth that is not just in the bread we are breaking but in our hearts because despite it all we are family.Read More
Dark Waters: Celtic Legacy Book 1 – by Shannon Mayer (a review)
I recently read Shannon Mayer's new novel, Dark Waters (Celtic Legacy – Book 1) and instantly became bewitched with everything about it! The characters and Ms. Mayer's new twist on the paranormal and traditional conventions of Celtic mythos. There was no room to relax and breathe while taking the tale in all the while discovering a new world beneath the waves with our girl Quinn. Like a roller coaster ride I didn't want to get off, Dark Waters grabbed me and held me tight right from the start. The protagonist Quinn, her sister Ashley, the leading men and even her mother do not disappoint.Read More

Whereas most rappers make a name for themselves by slaying competitors in freestyle rhyme battles, MC Chris came up through strange circumstances: voicing a cartoon spider. Fans of the Cartoon Network's cult favorite Adult Swim series should know Chris from his hyper-obnoxious voice as Hesh on Sealab 2021and various characters on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, including Sir Loin and Little Brittle. In one Aqua Teen episode, he made his hilarious mark by voicing the infamous MC Pee Pants, a gigantic diaper-wearing, gangster-rapping spider that rhymed "candy" with "Jessica Tandy." Further cartoon rap exploits followed, including "Fett's Vette," which references the Star Warsbounty hunter: "I'm after Solo/For all I care, he could be hiding at Yoda's dojo." Now on tour in support of his three albums (including the free-on-the-Internet Life's a Bitch and I'm Her Pimp), MC Chris' rhymes about ninjas, Pikachu and Dungeons & Dragons have rendered him godfather of the newest (and most poorly named) subgenre of rap: nerdcore.

Sally Ann is a positive DELIGHT to work with. We had the most delicious cupcakes I have ever tasted at our wedding! All of our guests kept raving about them.
We first met Sally Ann at her bakery in Petaluma for a tasting. She had 6-7 different flavors of cupcakes that day to try- I literally thought I was in heaven. She was beyond nice to us that day and after tasting the fillings/frostings/cake- we knew we needed to look no further.
We selected 6 cupcakes for the wedding: creme brulee, chocolate raspberry, lemon, coconut lime, pistachio, and chocolate truffle- all incredibly delicious. Sally Ann made the most eclectic, fun-loving, artistic cake for the top tier of the cupcake stand. She worked with our florist to obtain flowers for the stand and decorated the cupcake display in such a beautiful manner that day.
Sally Ann puts a lot of love into her creations and it was a wonderful experience to have her positive energy as a part of our day.

What a powerful heart-wrencher from Leo McCarey. Beulah Bondi and Victor Moore were exceptional as the silently suffering elderly parents, and the supporting cast was great also. This is an undeservingly overlooked treasure of a film. FIVE STARS.
This is an old film on a familiar subject - seniors neglected by their grown-up children. While it is easy to lay blame on the children, I couldn't help but ask the question why they got themselves into such a dire financial situation, losing their home to the bank, in the first place. It is a film with a sad ending, but there are moments of joy for the ageing couple. 'Tokyo Story', also shot in black and white, told a similar story. I must say I like TS more as a film.
Old married couple painfully fade away. Just a real heart breaker at the end. I think it shows our values have been shot for a lot longer than we will admit.
A heartbreaking, neglected gem from the 30s, given new life by the fine people at Criterion. A rare Hollywood film that takes on old age with poignancy and an unsentimental tone bordering on bleak, with both the leads playing characters older than they actually were. Leo McCarey also directed classics like "Duck Soup," "An Affair to Remember" and "The Awful Truth," for which he won best director. One of the extras is a short interview with former wunderkind Peter Bogdanovich, who may have an encylopedic knowledge of film, but is a shameless name dropper, mentioning Orson Welles and Jerry Lewis in the first minute. Great movie regardless.
Authentic, unsentimental -- combines deep sadness with moments of humor, romance, and beauty. Excellent acting, and the extras (an informative commentary & an interview) bring insights into the movie and its making. A must see!
Good acting and a social issue that resonates into our current time period....Look for the scene where the mother short-circuits her favorite son's plan with a plan of her own.....And the anniversary scenes of the older couple at the hotel where they'd honeymooned....Good stuff!
Very sweet movie. It's a shame more people haven't heard of it. The second half is as poignant a piece of cinema as I've seen.
A poignant film. Apparently Orson Welles said that the film was so sad, "it would make a stone cry." Well, it is a sad but beautiful tale.
This is an unknown masterpiece. Leo McLary said when he got the Oscar for The Awful Truth that they were giving it to him for the wrong movie. Hard-nosed and relatively unsentimental, considering the subject matter.

Epic last meal in Boston
My husband and I are being relocated for his job soon. Food has been so much a part of our lives in Boston for the past 5 years. I am really struggling to decide what our last big dinner here should be. We've done everything.... all of BL's places, Craigie, TW Foods, L'espalier etc.... What would you all eat as your last meal in Boston? I'm feeling nostalgic and looking for something particularly Boston.
Someone posted about this same thing a while ago and I agree with the basic premise ... ONE last meal will be almost impossible to choose, so pick several things you're unlikely to find where you're going.
Take a drive up to Ipswich / Essex for some clams
Get a chacarrero sandwich downtown
Hit up dim sum at Winsor
Belly up to the bar at Neptune for some bivalves and wine
Make sure to have some pork and clams at a Portuguese restaurant
Take pictures (and then eat it all up) of some amazing Taiwanese fare at MuLan or Shangri-la
Plan carefully and do it all. Good luck!
228 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
re: barleywino
San Francisco. Far from home, but not a bad move food-wise.
re: MParente
nice! in that case, i might suggest O-Ya, since i have not found any comparable really high end sushi out in the Bay Area (although I could be wrong).
re: your_outreach
I was thinking about that actually. I hate the no reservations thing (I get line-rage- I'm just not good at waiting for things). What about Locke-Ober? We haven't been there- but I wasn't sure if it was still worth it?
3 Winter Place, Boston, MA 02108
re: MParente
Good choice. I was going to recommend it. Terrific wine cellar.
re: CocoDan
best deal on wine in boston: Troquet
140 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116
re: cambridgedoctpr
Is Troquet still cleaning out the cellar? Some very good bargains to be had in the $15-$20 per bottle range.
140 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116
re: Beachowolfe
yes, there are always bargains at Troquet. I had a great bottle of 1978 premier cru burgundy that was sitting with 1/2 and full bottles of old Bordeaux that was great. But Chris said that there were plenty of misses, too
140 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116
re: cambridgedoctpr
Not talking about the regular bargains... they were bringing up 20 or so bottles a night, the ends of cases and selling them for like $15. You just go downstairs and pick one off the table.
Is this what you're talking about? and if so do you know how much longer it will last?
re: Beachowolfe
i picked up the bottle of burgundy from that table on the 1st floor after consulting with Chris the owner.
re: MParente
If there is a line Neptune will take your cell number and call you when your table is ready. Waiting on the Greenway is great.
re: MParente
Line rage? Good luck with that in San Francisco, everybody waits in line for everything!
I also moved back to San Francisco after two years in Boston. Here are the places I would hit that I feel SF doesn't have:
- Drink
- Neptune Oyster, especially lobster spaghettini
- Pizzeria Regina (you'll be shocked at how expensive ordinary pizza is here)
- Formaggio
- No.9 Park
- O-Ya
Neptune Oyster
63 Salem St Ste 1, Boston, MA 02113
Depending on what part of the country you'll be living in, I'd choose food items from all different places that you won't be able to get or that won't be as good as here.
For an epic meal I would suggest O Ya. My review is on here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7227...
For something that is a good meal but has a lot of Boston feel to it, I would suggest the original Summer Shack in Cambridge.
O Ya
9 East Street, Boston, MA 02111
Summer Shack
310 Northern Ave, Boston, MA 02210
My brother-in-law grew up here and lives in SF. He misses east coast seafood more than anything. For him, his return must consist of Santarpio's, Woodman's, Casey's (for hot dogs) and if time allows, the East Coast Grill (because he worked there...)
East Coast Grill and Raw Bar
1271 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA 02139
re: Mr Bigglesworth
i lived in Palo Alto, Cambridge, and Chicago. I think that one would be hard pressed to find supporters of the Boston pizza outside of NE. Nonehtless, here is an article on the best pizza's in the US: http://www.gq.com/food-travel/alan-ri...
It's obvious: Neptune Oyster.
I'm an LAX guy, and my best friend and I have been known to fly into Boston for a day. No trip -- and I mean NO TRIP -- would be complete without the warm lobster roll.
If I were leaving Boston for good, I'd also really miss the three-hour meal at Hammersley's Bistro. I've never tasted better roasted chicken. If you and hubby-man want to amp up the romance quotient, insist on reserving table 31.
Neptune Oyster
63 Salem St Ste 1, Boston, MA 02113
re: noneemac
Its interesting that people keep mentioning O-ya. I thought SF would have way better sushi than we have here (in general). Either way we decided to do a few last meals which so far are going to be Oiishi (we've done O-ya, but not oiishi and didn't feel like shelling out that kind of cash), Neptune, Kowloons for hang-over lunch after our going away party tonight and Santarpios. We might be able to squeeze one more dinner in- Hammersly chicken sound awesome and we haven't been there in forever..... with all this eating I'm not getting a lot of packing done!
re: MParente
It all sounds yumbo-licious.
On your way to the airport, don't forget to stop at Flour to scarf some scones and pound some pastries.
re: MParente
I would skip Oishii and go to Hamersley's. I like Oishii, but like you said, I think the sushi in SF is better.
re: MParente
Actually the sushi in SF is not great, and one area where Boston is probably stronger (much different scene from socal). When you get out there check out Ozumo, Bar Crudo (not traditional sushi place, however a very creative take on fresh seafood at a reasonable price), Sushi Sam's (in San Mateo) and Sushi Ran (in Sausalito). However, I don't think you will regret one last turn at Oishii.
There is great food of all kinds in the Bay area, however at the end of the day my favorite things about my time in SF were the Ferry Building Market and proximity to In-n-Out burger.
re: Gabatta
Does anyone know why the sushi isn't great in the Bay Area? With proximity to Japan and the natural resources I'd expect it to be amazing.
Went to Neptune last night for lobster spaghettini. It was out of this world. Best thing I've eaten in Boston in a long time. Price seemed a little high, but then when I saw how much lobster was on the dish it seemed totally reasonable. Sidenote- people weren't kidding about the line. Hour an a half wait at 8;30 on Monday night. But worth it.
re: MParente
FWIW, I think that hour + wait on a Monday night is mostly b/c it is summer and there are lots of visitors/tourists now. If you went there on a Monday night in November (not that you will, since you'll be gone, but for others) i am fairly certain you wouldn't have that same wait.
re: MParente
the Bay area seems to be stronger in non-sushi "casual" Japanese food than high end sushi. places like Gombei in San jose Japantown, which cater more to local Japanese who may prefer comfort food (katsu, curry, yakiniku, nimono or oden, unatamadon etc) over special-occasion sushi meals. Seattle is similar, with a surprising dearth of high end innovative sushi. Dot com bust may have something to do with it. Trendy places like Azie disappeared almost overnight. One exception (which Limster turned me on to) is Minako, omakase (including sushi) at a budget price.
