It is an undisputable fact that no education style can rise above the quality of its teachers. Teacher education advancement will determine the position of the country in the comity of nations. Hence, the nation's development can only be enhanced by the quality of education given to her citizens. This paper therefore, discusses the meaning of teacher education, historical development of teacher education in Nigeria, present position of teacher education, relevance of teacher education, aims of teacher education, problems militating against teacher education in the country and various strategies taken by the government to promote the growth and development of teacher education in Nigeria examined
In Communication system, the system capacity and performance are adversely affected and degraded by interference. Hence, power control plays a prominent role in an interference-limited system, which increases the efficiency by mitigating the adjacent and co-Channel interference in the system. In this paper, primarily power control is said to be used in maintaining the acceptable Carrier to Interference Ratio (CIR) by meeting some Quality of service (QoS) requirements Objective function that is defined as maximum channel capacity in a power constraint scenario. The signals in a radio channel undergo different propagation effects like reflection, refraction, scattering and shadowing. Hence, the distribution of users across subcarrier groups as well as their transmission powers within a given cell has a significant effect on how users and power are accordingly distributed elsewhere in the network to maximize the capacity of the system thereby enhancing its performance
Well-organized big data get together in the densely distributed sensor networks is, therefore, a challenging research area. One of the most effective solutions to address this challenge is to utilize the sink node's mobility to facilitate the data gathering. While this technique can reduce energy consumption of the sensor nodes, the use of mobile sink presents additional Challenges such as determining the sink node's trajectory and cluster formation prior to data collection. In this paper, we propose a new mobile sink routing and data gathering method through network clustering based on modified ExpectationMaximization (EM) technique. In addition, we derive an optimal number of clusters to minimize the energy consumption. The effectiveness of our proposal is verified through numerical results.
Rail inspection is an important task in railway maintenance. The speed and loads of trains have been increasing greatly in recent years, and these factors inevitably raise the risk of producing rail defects. Mainly the discrete surface defects impact the riding quality and safety of a railway system. However, it is a challenge to inspect such defects in a vision system because of illumination inequality and the variation of reflection property of rail surfaces. This project presents a realtime VIS for discrete surface defects of rail heads. VIS comprises the Image Acquisition Subsystem (IAS) and the image analysis subsystem. IAS acquires gray rail images for the surface of a rail head, and the latter processes rail images and detects possible defects. This paper propose the Local Normalization(LN) method to enhance the distinction between defects and background in a rail image, considering illumination inequality and the variation of reflection property of rail surfaces
- One of the most important and promising branches of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is Machine Learning (ML),which strive to make a machine intelligent by "learning" from the data. Information Retrieval is also a popular and predominant technique having as one of its application, the ubiquitous Search Engine. Search Engine optimization (SEO) has seen remarkable advancements during the recent years. The objective of this paper is to optimize the existing predictive search mechanism by incorporating pattern based Machine Learning techniques, the association with a Semantic Database, Natural Language Processing of search query to produce more relevant predictions to the user. The main intention is to provide diversified but apt, intelligent predictions for both the diversified set of users whose domain of search queries is not constrained, as well as for the dedicated researchers whose domain will be confined, coupled with an optimal balance between the Response times, Relev
This paper presents an improved design of voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) utilizing the three differential cell CMOS inverters for forming the ring oscillator. The differential cell reduces the power supply fluctuations impact on the oscillator jitter while the negative feedback from frequency to voltage converter reduces the jitter at high frequencies. Finally the proposed model is designed using CMOS 0.18um foundry technology and simulated using P-Spice software. The result shows that the proposed design improves the jitter attenuation at different offset frequencies up to 40dB
- In this paper, we will enlist the process of extracting template from heterogeneous Web Pages. Extracting structured information from semi-structured machine readable web pages automatically plays a major role these days, so some websites are using common templates with contents to populate the data for good productivity, Where WWW is the major resource for extracting the information. The problem here is for machines, the templates in the web pages are considered to be harmful since they degrade the performance of web applications due to irrelevant terms in the Template. As a result, the performance of the entire system degrades. Template Detection technique can be used to improve the performance of search engine as well as for classification of web documents. In this paper, we present algorithms to extract templates from a very large number of web pages that are getting generated from heterogeneous templates. Using the similarity of template structures in the documen
A Smart City is the integration of technology into a strategic approach to sustainability. 21st Century has brought with it a new global trend of "sustainable urban development" and this concept adds new dimensions to urbanization which require a quick need to upgrade existing cities. The concept of a smart city is a relatively new one. Throughout the years, with the significant contribution from various technologies like computer science, information technology, remote sensing, advance multimedia world etc, GIS evolved from traditional geographer's or cartographer's tool for surveying and planning to a rapidly expanding primary technology for understanding our planet and related geospatial opportunities to foster a sustainable world. This paper describes smart city projects in India and thoroughly explores the existing and extended capability of GIS to include modeling and visualization in order that decision makers will be able to
The study of man-environment relationship has great importance today. Human beings interact with their environment from the early stage of development to modern lives. In the process of this interaction they modify and transform environment. Environment plays determining role in the early stages of development where society essentially adapts itself to the limits laid down by it. As development proceeds onwards, the subservience to it gets progressively reduced and the process of cooperation and interaction begins. Present paper is based on analysis of secondary data published by different sources. Arc viewGIS 10 has been used to construct various kinds of maps in this paper. The natural environment of Zanskar presents a very harsh and fragile system. This region experiences heavy snowfall during winter caused by the western disturbances. Zanskar Tehsil is an underdeveloped area where existing use of natural resources is limited due to the low level of technology
Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks has to take into account the limited battery resources of the nodes. Sensor nodes can also be powered by other energy sources like solar energy. This paper provides a review of Environment monitoring using Wireless Sensor Networks. The issues related to environment sensor networks is highlighted. The real time applications in environment monitoring is presented with emphasis on energy conservation. Furthermore in this paper we address the problem of scavenging energy using solar powered devices.

ELK CITY, Okla. (AP) - A judge has scheduled a Sept. 4 preliminary hearing for an Elk City man charged in the shooting death of his mother.
Aaron Stigleman is charged with first-degree murder with deliberate intent and kidnapping in the death of his mother, 56-year-old Karen Stigleman.
Elk City police say officers were called to a home on Feb. 13 on reports of a shooting. Once there, officers saw a man run naked from the home and into an alley. Police say the man, later identified as Aaron Stigleman, refused to comply with officers' commands to lie down on the ground.
After Stigleman was subdued, authorities found the body of Karen Stigleman inside the home. Authorities say police recovered a handgun and semi-automatic rifle from the home.
Stigleman remains jailed.

About GPS Cycle Computers
GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to fit on a bike easily. There are 2 basic choices to take on your bike: a GPS unit designed primarily for navigation with a dedicated bike mount, particularly suitable for cycle touring and finding your way in unfamiliar territory, like the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx; or a dedicated bike computer that uses GPS to track your training routes and provide detailed analysis of your workout like the Edge 305, with more limited navigation capabilities. Most units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit for navigation.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.

Insights from our Editorial Team
As everyone knows, Asia has been rapidly industrializing since at least the year 2000. One of the limiting factors on this growth has been the availability of energy generation capability as the electrical power market has struggled to keep pace. To supplement the traditional energy sources from nuclear and coal, Asia Pacific countries are now increasingly adding renewable sources such as solar and wind.

"As Kayak is to travel, Choose Energy is to electricity," said Kerry Cooper, CEO of Choose Energy when I asked how she described her gig to people outside of the industry. But even people inside of the industry might be a little confused at what Cooper does. An "energy marketplace" really isn't the norm in most states, as Cooper noted. In fact, most customers still live in areas dominated by regulation.
Retail residential electricity prices across the U.S. rose in the first half of this year, averaging 12.3 per kilowatt hour, a 3.2 percent price hike from the same period last year. This is the largest six-month rise since 2009, the U.S Energy Information Administration has reported.Comments: 1
The Importance of Forecasting and Demand Planning in Managing a Lean Supply Chain
Walmart stocks products made in more than 70 countries and operates more than 11,000 stores in 27 countries around the world with an average of 175,000 different products in each store. The logistics of managing such a geographically dispersed and product diverse supply chain are mind boggling. Where do you begin? You begin at the end!
In April, the UN released a landmark climate change report that suggested diverting hundreds of billions of dollars from fossil fuels into renewable energy and cutting energy waste would shave just 0.06% off expected annual economic growth rates of 1.3%-3%.

For years Texas was producing more wind power than it could effectively put to use. Between 2006 and 2009 over 7,000 megawatts of wind capacity was built in the state. These turbines were almost entirely located in the windy plains of West Texas.
While the world watched the FIFA World Cup in July, the alternative energy community may have been more squarely focused on the Brazilian wind energy market. Brazil is a country rich with sustainable wind energy opportunities, and many U.S.-based clean technology companies may be targeting this growing market.
Chasing the Sun
Energiewende has become one of the most talked about topics in the utilities industry and perhaps one of the most notorious. It has also become the example of how not to do energy policy. And while this may be true in many respects, the strategy has been successful in certain areas, least of which is providing learnings for other countries.Comments: 3

I loved the lamp base but was disappointed in the lamp shade and misrepresentation of it. The shade has a beautiful pattern which is why I bought it but you can only see the pattern when the lamps are on otherwise all you see is the sheer black covering on the lamp shade which I had no idea it had or I would not have purchased them. It is a beautiful lamp just didn't work for me:(
I like these lamps there r jus as the picture in person. Very stylish and cute. Made well

Sorry, I just now got a chance to look at the video.
Take this with a grain of salt as it's coming from a driver of a momentum car. These are merely suggestions and I always tell people to try it both ways and see which way you prefer. At least if you TRY my way and decide that you like your way better, you've given it a shot and tried something new!
Turn 5 after the bus stop it seems like you're not using all of the track to the left there. One lap it seemed worse than the one prior (around 5:30 is the one I'm saying is worse than prior). On that lap, it seemed like you only came out to about halfway across the track and then started diving back in for turn 5. Let the car track out to the left and then stay out there a bit. Even for people that I saw getting out there and using that part of the track, they were still turning in too early. There is a point where you can see a traffic light. If you look for that light, there's a point where it'll intersect with a light pole behind it. THAT is where I was having people turn in. On the GTR last October the guy picked up another 5 or so MPH going into the laces when I had him do that

He was not a Bishop of Church of England. In fact he has nothing to do with the Church of England. He was Bishop of Woolwich (a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of London) in 1969, and Bishop of Liverpool in 1975. He had converted to Catholicism. He captained the English team on two occasions against the touring Pakistanis, when he stood in for Len Hutton. One game was won, the other drawn, but the four-Test series ended tied at 1-1.

Obsidian Architecture: Corsair 700D / 800D Cases Reviewed
When we sat down to review Corsair's acclaimed 700D and 800D chassis, we couldn't help reflecting on how much the PC case market has evolved over the last decade. Ten years ago, when we were cutting our teeth on CPUs with code names like Coppermine and Thunderbird, enthusiast enclosures were few and far between. In a market that's now literally teeming with options from a variety of established manufacturers, however, how do Corsair's brushed-metal beauties measure up? Let's find out...
Obsidian Architecture: Corsair 700D / 800D Cases Reviewed
Both of these cases are pretty, and also generally very functionally adept units it seem. One of the things I really like is the over sized pop out behind the processor. More and more cases have these now, but the size can be questionable as can the placing of them as I recently found out. While I love my Thermaltake Element S case which has really good airflow as well as over all functionality, I had an issue recently with this (when putting in a Megahalem). The spacing behind the CPU exists bit it unexplainably is a bit off center as well as a few millimeters smaller than needed. The reason I say this is not able to be explained is because the chassis fits a ATX MB. The sizing as well as placement of the CPU is pretty standard. This is especially true if you consider the fact that if they made it slightly larger it would both save them money (through less metal being used), and make it more widely useful for consumers/system builders. It would then fit everything up to extended ATX design with no issues as well as both AMD and INTEL CPU's no matter what. I really like these Corsair cases a lot, and would say if I were buying a case right now they would be my top candidate, although they are on the pricey side of things.
I really like both these cases, but that is a pretty penny to spend on a case. A bit out of my usual case budget.
[quote user="Joel H"]
The size of the popout is very handy. Not only can get you access to the CPU on most likely any motherboard, there's room enough for your hands and fingers to move.
Yeah I agree with you all about the cut out. Makes heatsink changes much easier, but how often do you really change heatsinks. I usually keep them longer than a motherboard.
I really want one of these 800's! Yet I have always stuck to a policy that when building a computer that the case should not ever be more costly than one hundred dollars.
This is totally my style for a sleek looking workstation case with all the functionality. I just would like to see that if they are going to charge these prices, that they would also include a good 1000w power supply, multiple large fans, or something like an integrated water cooling system?
Uh...lol? You're joking, right? The cheapest 1kW PSU from a company I've heard of and would personally trust (Antec) is $149 over at NewEgg. Multiple large fans are included--just not all the fans you could possibly ever use. But that's actually pretty minor, so sure, I'm all for Corsair tossing in a few more fans.
But the integrated water cooling system...that's a pretty tall order. Assuming that you mean something more along the lines of a Koolance Kit (http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=564), that's a $294 product. Even if they offered a cut-rate version, we're talking $150-$200 of additional cooling hardware.
So what you're saying in a nutshell is that while you want a $200 case, you think it's a terrible deal unless you can buy $300-$450 worth of hardware for just $100.
Yeah...good luck with that.
Cool looking cases, and I must commend them on all the cable management holes in the back plate.
Always like the sleek look of these chassis from Corsair . They are quite flexible and easy to work in for the enthusiast and very adaptable for many configurations and easy to mod as well..sure a bit expensive solid and heavy but you get what you pay for with these chassis.
While I can appreciate the design and functionality of both of these cases, I shudder at the cost to get one of them. I'm sure that they're WORTH the money, but in days like these, when people are unsure of their financial futures and things like the price of a gallon of fuel for the car weigh heavily on a lot of us, the usual Corsair price premium is harder to swallow.
I like to get a deal just like Tom does,….and while I'm not asking for free stuff, it's worth it to me to do some research and power up my spending dollar.
Case in point, (no pun intended) the CoolerMaster Elite 430 Black. This is a full ATX and Micro-ATX compatible case that is sold at NewEgg for $49.00 with free shipping too. It has front and rear mounted LED 120mm fans included already, and has mounts for two more 120mm fans on the topside, one side-mounted 120mm fan, and also one on the bottom in front of the PSU. There is plenty of room for oversized CPU coolers and it fits a pair of Radeon 5970 video cards.
This case is easy on the eye, (very nice looking) and it's painted all black inside. It has a tool-free design, water cooling holes if you so desire, with 7 expansion slots.
This is what $50 gets you.
I agree that the Corsairs are a premium piecewise just part of my 'geek porn' fix that's ooo sweet but way to much $$ for me
and saw some mods to share in some ongoing threads in HH that actually feature some useful & very affordable ideas to spice up a rig.
Come to think of it CM has that chassis in a May giveaway along with a new CM gal !She's fine too ! have like CM a lot they make great products, promote, and support them well and generously giveaway a lot of stuff to us.
take a look here http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/p/53604/395080.aspx#395080
& CMHD.TV website
I have to admit it,...........if I was still working, making 40 bucks an hour with time and a half and double time for my extra hours, I would buy these Corsair cases. They're damn nice cases.
But they just don't fit in with my 'retired income realities', and the fact that retirement income doesn't ever go up with the cost of living index. To live within my means, I have to shop around, a lot.
just wanted to share the link for convenience with Corsairs forums
easy to get some ideas of what may be do-able with what they have or build.for others that have the means.
Still a nice way to spend a bit of time in the gallery / mod etc and get your 'fix' .

Safe, Reliable Power With Vegetation Management
Summer heat means more demand for dependable power. Power companies need reliable vegetation control along utility rights of way and other sites to ensure reliable power, as well as worker safety. Well-planned herbicide applications can deliver both. Count on DuPont for weed- and brush-control information and products that can help minimize vegetation-related outages and the risks to crew safety.
In this issue:
- Controlling Vegetation is Key to Safe, Reliable Power
- Boxelder: Fast-Growing Menace
- Tackling Tough Brush With Viewpoint® and Streamline®
- Online Modules Offer Easy Training Option
Controlling Vegetation is Key to Safe, Reliable Power
Reliability is the most important attribute for a successful power utility company. As the backbone of our nation's energy program, reliable electricity supply along utility lines means power continues flowing to homes and hospitals in the heat of summer. Controlling vegetation in utility rights of way and at substations is essential to keeping crews out of harm's way.
Strategic herbicide applications help utility managers deliver safe, reliable power.
First and foremost, no trees, vines, brush or grasses can be allowed to grow big enough to interfere with power lines or substations, notes Mike Standish, vegetative management territory manager for Crop Protection Services, Timberland Division. "Second, you need to make sure repair crews have clear access to rights of way."
Herbicide treatments are an important part of the integrated vegetation management (IVM) programs Standish develops for his western Texas clients. "Mechanical control is still necessary in utility rights of way, but herbicides are the most effective tool," he says.
"When you clear areas mechanically, the brush resprouts. In three to four years it has grown back, usually with more trunks. When you look at an IVM plan over several years, herbicides cost less and do more to help deliver safe, reliable power.
"With mechanical control, you spend the same for each pass, but with herbicide control your costs go down with each treatment as you reduce brush density," he says. "Then you're able to do other things with the savings."
A Plan That Retains Native Plants
Miles-long utility rights of way call for a different vegetative management strategy than areas around power generators and substations. "You want to keep as much of the desirable vegetation in utility rights of way as possible," says Standish. "In many cases, they create great areas for wildlife."
Because it's common for rights of way to cross or run up to pastures, wetlands, nature trails or recreational areas, they should look as natural as possible, adds Mike Foley, operations manager for Superior Forestry, so careful management is essential. Managing vegetation in utility rights of way is just one service the company provides to clients around the country.
For one North Carolina utility alone, Superior Forestry maintains 16,000 line acres, primarily with crews using cutting tools and backpack sprayers filled with low-volume herbicides. "Our goal is to spray less area with each successive treatment as brush is controlled. Spot applications also are more grass-friendly."
Worker Safety Is Essential
Foley enforces safety standards among his crews of workers. "Our customers expect us to be very conscious of safety, and we make sure all our workers understand that. They can encounter rough terrain, poison ivy, snakes and bees, and occasionally get cuts and scrapes."
While those things are hard to avoid, being safe with herbicide application is much more controllable. "Our company expects them to use safe work habits, so safety training is mandatory," he adds. "We want all our workers to come away from a day's work the way they started it – maybe a little tired, but in one piece."
Streamline® and Viewpoint® provide reliable control of boxelder.
Boxelder (Acer negundo), also known as ashleaf maple, is native to the central and eastern United States. Commonly found in bottomlands and stream corridors, it has adapted to drier areas and a wide range of soil pH levels. Boxelder grows quickly and is a prolific producer of winged seeds that are carried through the air or consumed and spread by wildlife, making it very invasive.
Mechanical control is not effective for long, since boxelder tends to resprout after cutting, which makes control difficult along utility rights of way.
DuPont™ Viewpoint® and Streamline® herbicides provide reliable control of boxelder and a broad range of other brush species to help improve safety along utility rights of way. Viewpoint® provides simple, broad-spectrum control for a variety of hard-to-manage brush species and broadleaf weeds. Streamline® controls a large number of brush species, yet helps preserve desirable grass understory.
Product Spotlight
Tackling Tough Brush With Viewpoint® and Streamline®
Controlling boxelder, hackberry, yellow popular and other tough brush species is difficult with mowing and time-consuming with hand-cutting. Even worse, many will grow back quickly, often sprouting multiple shoots. Herbicide treatments are an economical option for controlling those species and providing longer-lasting vegetation control in utility rights of way, while meeting Federal Energy Regulatory Commission guidelines.
Herbicides provide longer-lasting vegetation control in utility rights of way.
For dependable weed control, DuPont™ Viewpoint® herbicide delivers simple, broad-spectrum control of tough brush species and broadleaf weeds for safer rights of way along power lines and other utility and industrial sites. DuPont™ Streamline® herbicide provides control of many of the same brush and broadleaf species and allows desirable native grasses to remain. Both herbicides feature low use rates in a dry-blended formulation and have minimal impact on mammals, wildlife and the environment.
Online Modules Offer Easy Training Option
Product stewardship requires continued collaboration between manufacturers and roadside managers to responsibly manage unwanted vegetation. Identifying, managing and reducing risks to safety, health and the environment throughout the life of a product can help minimize environmental impact and preserve natural resources. By educating and informing stakeholders on sound stewardship principles, DuPont helps develop reliable, sustainable solutions to meet the challenges of a growing world population.
DuPont Crop Protection has developed the Land Management Stewardship Learning Series, with training modules that address stewardship best practices to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of herbicide use.

text: Flashback: FBI Training Manual Purged References to Islamic Terror Print article Send a Tip by Kerry Picket 20 Apr 2013 post a comment Many are wondering why the FBI overlooked the potential danger posed by now-deceased bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 after they interviewed him. According to reports, the bureau failed to find any incriminating evidence of terrorist ties. As first reported by CBS News correspondent Bob Orr, the FBI interviewed Tsarnaev, the elder brother of at-large bombing suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, at the request of a foreign government to see if he had any extremist ties, but failed to find any linkage. Both Tsarnaev brothers were legal permanent residents of the U.S. There is no evidence so far that either brother received any tactical training. The FBI initially denied making contact with Tsarnaev, but his mother said to Russia Today that the FBI had in fact spoke with her son, saying he became involved with "religious politics" around five years ago. : "They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me ... they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him," Tsarnaeva said. "They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites... they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step... and now they say that this is a terrorist act!" The FBI insists to CBS that they took all the required steps that were permissable under the law. However, around the same time the bureau interviewed Tsarnaev, changes in the FBI training manual took place as well. The FBI's own departmental counter-terrorism analytic lexicon was purged of key words that could reference Islamic terrorism. Words like Muslim, Islam, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and sharia were not mentioned once in the FBI's counter-terrorism lexicon afterwards. The FBI initially denied the existence of the document in 2012 until PJ Media's Patrick Poole posted the unclassified doc in May of that year. Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) took the issue to the House floor and excoriated the administration for allowing the changing of the training manual to happen. Congress is now concerned that Tsarnaev slipped through the fingers of law enforcement early on. Congressman Mike McCaul (R-TX) , Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told CNN that he finds it "disturbing" the late bombing suspect was "on the FBI's radar screen and they let him out of their sights, then that's an issue, certainly, for me."

Where's the paper?
Published On: May 07 2014 03:31:18 PM CDT
If you read the Wichita Eagle on Sunday's you may have noticed the paper was very late this past weekend.
Hours late in fact, because of a mechanical issue.
One caller to our Answerback line was upset about the delay, and also said he was "stunned" that Eyewitness News didn't do a story about it.
"Stunned"...he repeated.
People in newsrooms these days search for much of their news and story tips on-line, not in newspapers.
Now, the internet not working?
THAT would have been a big deal.
An example would be my own children, in their upper 20s and early 30s.
I'm not even sure they know there still IS a newspaper.
To them, the Sunday paper being late just means that old farts like dad can't read the comics with their oatmeal.

Winter relief? South Side Irish parade just weeks away
BY STEVE METSCH Sun-Times Media February 6, 2014 7:30PM

Updated: March 8, 2014 6:40AM
Standing in a sport coat and shivering, Tom McGourty had a simple message Thursday morning outside a grocery store in Chicago's 19th Ward.
"Just think how happy we'll be in a few short weeks," said McGourty, an organizer for this year's South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade, at a press conference kicking off events leading up to the annual event.
Given the brutal weather Chicago's been slammed with this year, those who braved the frigid temps on Thursday couldn't help but look forward to the prospect of warmer times ahead. But a stiff breeze and bone-chilling temps can't deter the tough folks of the 19th Ward, especially when it comes to their big event of the year.
This year's parade is scheduled to step off at noon on March 16, at 103rd and Western.
McGourty, who is co-chairman of the parade committee, announced the grand marshal and honoree of the parade, which will be held in presumably more viewer-friendly weather. The Mulliganeers, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping families with children with birth defects, will be the parade's grand marshal this year. The honoree will be County Fair Foods, 10800 S. Western, which is celebrating its 50th year in business and served as the backdrop on Thursday.
The parade, which began in 1979 when a group of 17 children marched around the 10900 blocks of South Talman and Washtenaw avenues, eventually grew too big for its own good and was canceled after a raucous 2009 parade. After a two-year hiatus, a scaled-down parade returned to Western Avenue in 2012. It won rave reviews that year and again in 2013 when 150,000 attended.
Organizers hope "the legacy continues for many generations to come," McGourty said.
"We continue to celebrate faith, family and community as well as customs, music [and] dance that make up our Irish heritage and culture," McGourty said. "We're already calling bars on the North Side, colleges, reminded them why it doesn't make sense to come down here. It got out of hand, but we've got that element under control."

Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea's won dropped this week as concern Europe will fail to reach agreement to contain the region's debt crisis dimmed the outlook for the global economy. Government bonds retreated.
The currency slid the most in four weeks today as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi damped speculation the bank will buy more government bonds. European Union leaders began their two-day summit in Brussels yesterday. South Korea's economy is likely to grow 3.7 percent next year, slowing from a 3.8 percent gain this year, the Bank of Korea said today. Inflation is forecast at 3.3 percent, compared with 4 percent in 2011, the central bank said.
"The weak forecast for the economy is supporting demand for the dollar," said Byeon Ji Young, a Seoul-based currency analyst at Woori Futures Co. "Draghi's comments disappointed the market, and investors are concerned the European summit results won't match expectations."
The won fell 1.4 percent this week to 1,146.83 per dollar in Seoul, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The currency dropped 1.3 percent today, the biggest decline since Nov. 10. The Kospi Index of shares declined 2.2 percent this week.
The Bank of Korea held borrowing costs at 3.25 percent for a sixth month yesterday. Downside risks to growth are "high" because of the European turmoil, possible slumps in major economies and unrest in international financial markets, the central bank said in its statement yesterday. The ECB cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 1 percent yesterday.
The yield on South Korea's 3.5 percent bonds due September 2016 climbed two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 3.52 percent this week, according to Korea Exchange Inc. prices. The rate was unchanged today.

I contacted the creator and received a very fast support.
After he did some changes in the code, the bar is showing and working properly.
It's a great extension that could get even more value if the menu selection was easier and more intuitive. Like display in all menu, only the one I select, or none, instead of having to activate menus items one by one.
Good job, I recommend!
Thank you for your review!
We are happy that we have solved the problem which was due to jQuery no conflict method used in your site.
Regarding menu assignment(like on all pages, no pages etc) as module manager provides in Joomla back-end, we will check feasibility and do needful.
first it use the free version of the javascript library, and you cannot change the preloader logo. That same loader takes actually long time even with small picture sized to load.. which is kinda of a problem considering this kind of module is to be put in header/slideshow/top positions, with lots of visibility. Good point is the logo was actually removed.
Also, I was totally unable to load this module into another module using "module anywhere" which is a pity as I just said, it makes sense to use this module on position usually occupied by modules: it brings problems as you cannot put text or customize with simple html around the module.
In the same area, the module doesn't provide any way to insert a background image, unlike the actual standalone js library. I tried copy/paste their background settings from the standalone xml in the module's xml, no result of course.
Last, the forum seems totally abandoned since past November
You always get an answer from the support forum. It might not solve your problem but they always try. and remember, this is a free component
however I am trying to build a nicely looking website. Do I want these modules to appears to anyone? No. It looks bad, takes load of space, and provoke suspicion to novice internet users.
So basically for me this component is useless since he can't work without front end module.

Kennedy's assassination, the moon landing and the Vietnam War – died at age 92 on July 17. His distinguished voice still can be heard introducing the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, per his family's wishes. As he said on his last Evening News broadcast, "Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away – they just keep coming back for more."

"Premium Rush" is a breakneck chase movie about the daredevils who work as Manhattan bicycle messengers. With a map of the city imprinted in their brains, they hurtle down sidewalks, run red lights, go against traffic, jump obstacles and insist on using bikes without brakes. Whatever they're paid, it's not enough. If one hits your baby carriage in a crosswalk, you may not see it that way.
The title refers to the extra charge for fast delivery, I suppose. It may also refer to the film's adrenaline. The characters may not be deeply drawn, but you have to look fast to see them. This is an impressively skilled production that credits about a dozen stunt riders and even more CGI techs, and is never less than convincing as it shows messengers speeding fearlessly into traffic and threading their way through trucks that could flatten them.
Why do they work so hard and dangerously for relatively little money? They seem to do it for the high. They don't see themselves wearing suits and working in office cubicles. In the story told by "Premium Rush," it's less of a job, more of a noble mission, as three messengers outrace the NYPD to deliver a gambling ticket that only one of them knows the story behind. (It's to pay passage to the United States for the young son of the Chinese heroine, who worked three jobs to raise the money.)
Wilee (think WILE-E), played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, lean and intense, is said to be the best bike messenger in Manhattan, which is why Nima (Jamie Chung) asks for him. She needs the ticket delivered to a woman who will make a crucial call to China. Also in need of the ticket is a rotten cop named Bobby Monday, desperately played by Michael Shannon, whose gambling debts have him in mortal peril. The movie's first chase involves Wilee's bike and Monday's unmarked police car.
In a dizzying unfolding of events, two other messengers also get involved on Wilee's side. These are Vanessa (Dania Ramirez) and Manny (Wolé Parks). All would be gold medal winners if their jobs could be defined as Olympic sports. Bobby Monday also enlists several cops, one on a bike but outclassed; they don't really understand why they're chasing Wilee.
The bikes speed under trailer trucks, through food stores, up ramps, over barriers and so on. It's almost impossible to chase one with a car. At one point, the action involves Wilee and Vanessa actually escaping from an NYPD vehicle pound with the ticket ingeniously hidden.
And that's about that. If you're looking for depth and profundity, this is the wrong movie. But under the direction of David Koepp ("Secret Window," the screenplays for "Mission: Impossible" and "Spider-Man"), this is an expert and spellbinding adventure. I'm very weary of routine chase movies. There's nothing routine about "Premium Rush." Any action formula can be brought to life with enough imagination and energy.

Practical Information
Where is Iceland?
Iceland is a North Atlantic island and the westernmost country in Europe, midway between North America and mainland Europe. It lies about 800 km northwest of Scotland and 970 km west of Norway, and its northern coast is just below the Arctic Circle.
Iceland is the same distance from London as Athens. The distance from New York to Iceland is the same as from New York to Los Angeles. Reykjavík is the world's northernmost capital city.
Average temperature around noon 2001-2011
Hottest to coldest temperature around noon 2001-2011
The temperature you can expect when visiting Reykjavík is certainly not reflected in the name of the country. Our winters are quite mild and our summers are refreshing and not overly warm.
So this is what you can expect, the normal temperature in Reykjavík and it's highs and lows for the past 10 years.
Now let's see how the average temperature in Reykjavík compares to Oslo.
We'll hide the hot/cold for a bit to simplify things. The summers in Oslo can get quite warm — and the winters can also get quite cold.
Try it for yourself! You can compare Reykjavík's temperature to other cities'. Switch the high/low areas on and off to see how hot and cold it can get in each city."

Driving in Iceland
Ring Road Nr. 1 around Iceland is 1,332 km (827 mi). The general speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on gravel roads in rural areas, and 90 km/h on asphalt, rural roads. For more information, be sure to visit www.safetravel.is
All mountain roads and roads in the interior of Iceland have a loose gravel surface. The surface on the gravel roads is especially loose along the sides of the roads, so one should drive carefully. The mountain roads are quite narrow and are not made for speeding. The same goes for some bridges that only allow one car to pass at a time.
For current information on road conditions, call +354 522-1000, lines open daily from 8:00–16:00. Visit www.road.is for more information.
Tax-Free Shopping
Shops in Iceland are of international standard and carry a wide variety of merchandise. Local specialties include woolen knitwear (sweaters, hats and mittens, for example), ceramics, glassware and silver jewelry. General opening hours are from 10–18 on weekdays. Saturdays from 10/11–14/16/18 and Sundays closed or from 12/13-15/16/17
VAT in Iceland is 25,5%, or 7% on special goods. To get a refund you must have a permanent address outside of Iceland. Minimum amount spent on a single receipt in order to be eligible for tax-free shopping is ISK 4.000. Goods must be exported within three months from date of purchase. Maximum refund is 15% of the retail price.
If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes. This little pun is often told at the expense of the Icelandic weather. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Iceland enjoys a cool, temperate maritime climate; refreshing summers and fairly mild winters. The weather is also affected by the East Greenland polar current curving south-eastwards round the north and east coasts. As a result, sudden weather changes are common and travellers should prepare accordingly.

Passport and Visa Regulations
Iceland is an associate member of the Schengen Agreement, which exempts travellers from personal border controls between 22 EU countries. Note that for residents of countries outside the Schengen area, a valid pass is required for the duration of your stay. For information on passport and visa requirements, as well as the Schengen area regulations, visit the website of the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration.
Icelandic is the national language. English is spoken by most Icelanders and is the official second language taught in schools. Danish is the official third language taught in schools in Iceland.
Phones and Mobile service in Iceland
The code into Iceland from overseas is 354 plus the seven-digit number. Long-distance calls can be made to Europe and the USA by dialling 00 plus the country code and the telephone number you wish to reach. Four GSM service providers operate in Iceland: Siminn, Vodafone, TAL and Nova. Together they cover most of the Island, including a large proportion of the unpopulated area of the country. All these companies sell pre-paid GSM phone cards and offer GSM / GPRS service. You can also purchase credit refill cards at most gas stations or convenience stores in Iceland.

Businesses still recovering after devastating flood of 2008
Updated On: Jun 11 2013 09:57:07 AM CDT
At age 57, Tom and Sue Holmes had an important, unexpected decision to make.
On June 12, 2008, three days after Lake Delton broke through its banks and emptied into the Wisconsin River, it was still raining south of Baraboo. Clark Creek, which feeds off the Baraboo Bluffs, had turned from a bubbling brook to a raging river.
When debris dammed up the creek, floodwaters rushed into the Holmes' home-building business, Glenville Timberwrights, on Highway 113. When the water receded, it left machinery covered in four feet of mud.
"Most people remember (what happened at) Lake Delton, but I think people around here in Baraboo remember what happened to us as well," Tom Holmes said.
The couple said they considered selling what was left of the business but decided to rebuild along with many other business owners after the flood, which caused $763 million in damage statewide.
For video on this story, visit the video section
The Holmes' got loans through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Small Business Administration and Sauk County disaster relief funds. After six months as nomads, moving between properties, they opened their new shop.
Soon after, the couple faced a 100-year flood of a different kind when the housing market collapsed.
To make money while the residential housing market recovers, Glenville Timberwrights has been crafting park shelters, gazebos and some furniture.
"It's been a kick in the gut, really, to have the impact of not only the flood, but the economic downturn," Tom Holmes said. "We want to think positively about the future of this company."
Holmes said they have maintained their seven-person payroll during the downturn.
