Google Reader Shutdown Creates Opportunities For These 3 Companies
When Google (GOOG) announced a spring cleanup, Google Reader was included as one of the services that would be shut down. Other products being shut down include Building Maker and Cloud Connect. Google Voice for Blackberry (BBRY) is being retired too, though solid HTML5 support on Blackberry devices should make the impact less painful. [More Tech: Windows Blue: Briefing on the Next Windows Platform ]
Ending Google Reader and the other product makes sense. The apps do not make revenue. Yet as an avid Google Reader fan, the shutdown will lower interest in using Google+. Google's effort to simplify its product offering might have the opposite impact for its loyal user base, creating an opportunity for competitors to gain users.
In Google's defense, Google may have cut Reader due to the cost of complying with privacy. Collecting user preference data, such as reading interests, +1's, and favorite articles is a way for Google to monetize Google Reader. Additional costs would be required in managing and addressing concerns for user privacy.Investing Ideas 1. Facebook, Inc. ( FB): FB, which is shifting its advertising strategy, could build an RSS reader that allows users to choose the content they want on their profile. Facebook is experimenting with ad posts on the main news feed, and increasing its focus on mobile ads. Having a website content aggregator like Google Reader would solve its problem of a declining active user base. 2. Microsoft Corporation ( MSFT): Microsoft could build an RSS reader that integrates with Outlook.com and/or its Bing search engine. By winning over loyal Google Reader users, Microsoft gains Bing users, making its online Office offering more attractive as compared to Google Docs, and could promote Skype (which competes with Google Hangouts). Investors might want to be less interested in: 3. Google Inc. ( GOOG): Since the announcement, Google shares dropped steadily, down 6% from the $844 peak reached at the beginning of March 2013. The mantra that "less is more" may not apply with Google Reader closing. Google Reader was a preferred gateway for accessing content for other popular sites. Shutting this down will cut a mature user base, and will indirectly hurt the Google+ growth strategy in the short term.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- In a story June 3 about Syria, The Associated Press erroneously reported the capital's Old City was destroyed and recently evacuated by rebels after a cease-fire agreement. It was the Old City in Homs, not Damascus, that was destroyed and recently evacuated.
A corrected version of the story is below:
As civil war rages, Syrians vote for president
Strong support for Assad as Syrians vote during civil war in election derided as a sham
By DIAA HADID and ALBERT AJI
Associated Press
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- Against a backdrop of civil war, tens of thousands of Syrians voted in government-controlled cities and towns Tuesday to give President Bashar Assad a new seven-year mandate, with some even marking the ballots with their own blood.
The carefully choreographed election was ignored and even mocked in opposition-held areas of Syria where fighting persisted, with some rebels derisively dropping their shoes in a phony ballot box in a show of disgust. Western leaders also called it a sham.
A victory for Assad is likely to bolster his base of support at home and provide further evidence that he has no intention of relinquishing power, making a protracted conflict the likely outcome in fighting that has already lasted three years.
Fears that the rebels would rain down mortar shells on government-controlled territory did not materialize, but fighting persisted.
State-run media reported that voting closed on midnight Tuesday, and election officials began the process of checking the number of votes against lists of registered voters to ensure numbers matched. In one central Damascus voting booth, 2,196 people cast their ballots -- all but two were for Assad, counted an AP reporter who watched representatives of each presidential candidate tally votes.
The announcement was accompanied by wild beeping and cheering on central Damascus by Assad supporters. It was not immediately clear when election results would be announced.
Earlier in Damascus, the dull sounds of explosions reverberated in the distance as government forces and rebels battled in nearby rural towns and plumes of gray smoke marked the skyline. Several mortar rounds reportedly hit in the capital, including one that fell near the Opera House on a major plaza.
At least three fighter jets roared low over the city, which residents said was unusual. Government warplanes and helicopters pounded the rebellious Damascus suburb of Daraya, the southern city of Daraa and the nearby town of Nawa, as well as opposition-held districts of the divided northern city of Aleppo.
Voting took place only in government-controlled areas, excluding much of northern and eastern Syria. Tens of thousands of Syrians abroad voted last week, although many of the more than 2.7 million Syrian refugees across the region either abstained or were excluded by law.
There were ostentatious shows of support for the 48-year-old Assad, who has ruled Syria since 2000, when he took over after the death of his father, Hafez. There was a carnival-like atmosphere, with voters singing, banging drums and dancing with Syrian flags. Chants of "God, Syria and Bashar!" were heard.
At a polling station in the upscale Dama Rose hotel in central Damascus, a blue cup filled with pins was set out for those who wanted to vote in blood. Some pricked their fingers repeatedly to draw enough blood to mark the circle under Assad's name on the ballot -- an act of allegiance and patriotism that has been used in previous elections under both Assads.
Most voted in ink, though, and some made their choice for Assad in full sight of other voters and TV cameras instead of using a curtained booth for privacy.
They said re-electing Assad would give him more legitimacy to find a solution to the devastating conflict that opposition activists say has killed more than 160,000 of their countrymen, about a third of them civilians.
Most Syrians said they believed some sort of reconciliation had to take place alongside the military crackdown, which they saw as inevitable.
"Dialogue can't be a solution when somebody is waving a gun in your face," said Zeina Habal after she voted in Damascus. "You speak to the people who have wisdom to understand, and you defend yourself at the same time."
The government has portrayed the election as the solution to the conflict, but there is no indication it will halt the violence or mend a bitterly divided nation.
"Assad's victory will not legitimize the regime, but will cement its resilience," said Ayham Kamel, an analyst with the Eurasia group in London. He said the election will also reinforce the military's recent gains and further undermine the ability of radical or moderate rebels to replace the government.

The rosters of the teams are officially set, the players have chosen their jerseys, and the National Lacrosse League is all but ready to get underway with its 2001-2001 campaign.
With less than two days until the NLL's opening night in Albany where the Attack is hosting the expansion New Jersey Storm, the NLL preseason officially came to a close last night at the Maple Leaf Gardens with the Buffalo Bandits claiming a 15-13 win over the expansion Montreal Express.
The game, which capped off an impressive thirteen-game exhibition season for the NLL, was the last time that teams had the chance to compete against one another, before professional indoor lacrosse's 16th season officially gets underway this Friday night.
As for the coaches around the league, they know first hand that although their squads may have had promising training camps and exhibition games, the true test will come during the regular season.
"Our two preseason games against the Vancouver Ravens were invaluable in allowing us to evaluate players," said Calgary Roughnecks head coach Chris Hall. "Of course the real test will come when the regular season opens for us and we begin to compete with some of the well established clubs."
Vancouver Ravens head coach Paul Dal Monte concurred with Hall's thoughts explaining that although it was nice to compete with fellow Canadian squad the Roughnecks, that the regular season and competing against the different teams is what counts.
"Our preseason contests against our western expansion rivals, the Calgary Roughnecks, have proven very valuable and we are looking forward to opening the season in Toronto on Nov. 17," Dal Monte said.
With games being played throughout eastern Canada in Newfoundland, and New Brunswick, and in western Canada in British Columbia, the NLL's preseason gave fans in non-traditional lacrosse markets a chance to experience the hard-hitting action first hand.
With more than 10,000 fans attending the games in Canada, the league is certainly making its presence known throughout North America and more specifcally towards its westward movement.
In addition to the Canadian tour, the preseason also ventured into the United States at such venues as the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester and the Peddie School Arena in New Jersey, with close to 10,000 combined fans observing those contests as well.
Not only was the fan turnout impressive, the field was brimming with nonstop action. With seven of the thirteen exhibition games being decided by two goals or less, the action this season promises to be the most intense and entertaining yet.
So with less than 48 hours until the opening face-off, the stage is set for a great season this year. With nationwide national television contracts, new sponsorships, and intense competition, the NLL is ready to officially kick off its 16th season this weekend.

Driving in Finland
To many people from other European countries, driving on traffic-free roads is a holiday in itself. Roads in Finland are generally in a good condition and empty, with only the evening sunshine to keep drivers company.
Traffic jams on the same scale as central Europe are uncommon in Finland. You might hear complaints about the traffic from Finns, but never from visitors. Their attitude is completely different to that of big-city residents: to a Finn, a delay of a couple of minutes is equivalent to 'heavy traffic'. There are car hire companies in all major towns and cities, and at airports. It's worth booking in advance, and you must have a credit card. As long as you have an EU or Swiss driving licence, you can get on the road in Finland straight away.
Wild & Free
To be truly free, all you need is the untouched wilderness and a touch of madness in your blood.

The Madras High Court has quashed an Income-Tax department order of July 16 this year directing the State-owned Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC) to pay Rs.1,235.78 crore for the assessment year 2010-11 in 20 equal instalments.
Allowing a writ plea by TASMAC, Justice K.K. Sasidharan remitted the matter to the income tax Assistant Commissioner concerned for fresh consideration on merits and in the light of earlier orders passed by the IT Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in the company's case, besides a Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT)'s circular in the matter of grant of stay pending disposal of statutory appeal. The exercise should be completed within four weeks.
The company filed a return in September 2010 admitting a total income of Rs.14.01 crore. It claimed a deduction of Special Privilege Fee (SPF) of Rs.2,937.70 crore paid to the State in the profit and loss account for the year ended March 31, 2010. However, the income-tax assessing authority disallowed the deduction of SPF.
Additional Advocate-General P.H. Arvindh Pandian said similar orders were passed during earlier assessment years. Those orders were set aside by the ITAT. However, the AO had been passing similar orders every year. The same mistake was committed during the assessment year 2010-11 also.
The Judge said though the AO attempted to distinguish the earlier orders passed by the tribunal, there was nothing in the impugned order to show how the authority arrived at a prima facie finding that the company was not entitled to an absolute stay of recovery. The authority was bound by the tribunal's earlier decisions. Even if the AO had a case on merits, by distinguishing the earlier orders, yet, while considering the application for stay, the earlier orders of the tribunal should have been referred to. However, no such attempt had been made.
The CBDT issued detailed guidelines on December 1, 2009 in the matter of grant of stay of recovery during currency of appeal. Clause C laid down that in case the dispute related to the issue that had been decided in the assessee's favour by an appellate authority or court earlier, it was a sufficient ground to stay the recovery of demand.

The Nashville Predators have hired a new head coach after letting Barry Trotz go last month. Team general manager David Poile announced at a press conference Tuesday the hiring of Peter Laviolette [LA-vee-oh-LET], who was fired by the Philadelphia Flyers last year.
"He's going to play a little bit different way, which I think will be good for our players for a change," Poile said. "And I think it gives us a good chance to be very successful, very soon."
In a news release, the Predators point out that all three NHL teams Laviolette has coached have "improved exponentially in the first full season after he took the helm." With the Carolina Hurricanes, Laviolette won the Stanley Cup, something the Predators have never done.
Trotz was the only coach the Predators had ever had. He put together a streak in which the team went to the playoffs seven out of nine seasons. But for the last two years, the Predators didn't come close to making the post season.

Alain Berteau, architect, interior designer, and product designer has designed some fabulously efficient chairs that are noteworthy both for their ingenuity and frugality of material. The Fence Chair effectively utilizes a single angle that allows it to be packed tightly for shipping and, once assembled; the individual chairs can be linked to form continuous seating for a larger group.
Berteau also unveilied the Cover Chair at the Interieur 2006 in Kortrijk, where he was chosen as Designer of the Year. The Cover Chair's shipping box (made with recycled content) becomes a sturdy chair when covered with the included foam pad and cover, again eliminating excess waste and shipping material. While we appreciate the concept of this one, we we regret that it does not have the same aesthetic of the Fence and Instant Chair, and ultimately looks…like a box.
(thanks, Serge!)

I think the Fence chair was printed up in the new ID Magazine (the one on Belgium.) It looks pretty strong, but I guess I wouldn't jump on it.
Simple, fun, and scalable/modular so it can adapt to different environments. We need more furniture like this!
melanie October 19, 2006 at 11:45 am
wow this is a very interesting concept
i like the style of the chairs nice title
Mike T October 18, 2006 at 11:47 am
The instant chair is quite an innovation but i wonder how much weight can it sustain?

Fee Payment
The Accounts Receivable Office bills students for tuition, room and board, and various other university charges. Each student will receive an email message on the first of each month at their Iowa State email address telling them that their bill is available on AccessPlus. It is the student's responsibility to regularly check their Iowa State email account. Students may pay their university bill by direct debit through AccessPlus.
Students who do not receive a billing statement before the term begins and are unable to use AccessPlus to view their bill, should contact the Accounts Receivable Office to learn the amount of their account balance due. Failure to receive a billing statement or view their account on AccessPlus will not exempt students from late penalties or from having a hold placed on their registration.
If payment of the minimum due is not made by the deadline printed on the billing statement, all fees become due immediately. A one-percent finance charge will be assessed on the total amount due at that time, and a "hold" will be placed on the student's registration until payment of the total amount due has been made.

Growing up, we're all exposed to literature, music, & films that have become embedded in our culture so deeply it seems inherent that we've all had these experiences. The Sound of Music is one such work.
While I am by no means a musical novice, I have managed to go three decades without ever being exposed to it. When I entered Beverly's North Shore Music Theatre on Wednesday for the debut of their 2013 season, I knew just three aspects of the treasured musical. There are Nazis. There are hills. They're alive with music.
With this, I embarked on an evening in which I quickly discovered why The Sound of Music has become the world's most beloved musical, enchanting & delighting new audiences nearly fifty years after its debut.
Rodgers and Hammerstein's final collaboration tells the story of a novice nun who proves too high-spirited for the religious life, sent to serve as governess for the seven children of the widowed naval Captain Georg Von Trapp.
The cast is led by the remarkably talented Lisa O'Hare, who previously played Eliza Doolittle in the NSMT production of My Fair Lady. O'Hare was perfectly cast as her voice & movement on stage so perfectly captured the exuberant personality of Maria.
Veteran actor David Andrew MacDonald undeniably captured the dichotomous character, the Captain. His stern, commanding care for his children ultimately morphs into an exhibition of true love & tenderness for not only his kin, but also his new-found love in the young governess Maria.
MacDonald & O'Hare have the chops to lead the cast, and both ultimately proved why they continue to work on Broadway and across the country today.
The Von Trapp children were played by a half-dozen local students who hail from communities across the North of Boston region as well as San Diego native Deirdre Haren who plays the eldest of the Von Trapps. Returning to NSMT, Gloucester's Giacomo Favazza delights as Kurt while Maggie Budzyna of Newburyport was charming as the slightly day-dreaming Lousia.
Three of the young actors made their NSMT debut on Wednesday, including Bryn Smith of Hamilton who impressed as the bookish Brigita. The eldest Von Trapp son was played by Kyle Mungenast of Reading while the two youngest ladies of the household were played by Winthrop's Haven Pereira & Paige Catherine Martino of Lynnfield, who received a hollering from audience members during her final bow.
The show's opening number in the Nonnberg Abbey featured the soothing, choral vocals of the Nuns ensemble, including Emmy award-winning producer, actor, and playwright Suzanne Ishee who stars as Mother Abbess. She also closes the first act with a remarkable rendition of the well-known track "Climb Ev'ry Mountain".
Beverly's native James Beaman's impeccable timing & tone offered comic relief at just the right moments, playing the Captain's good friend Max Detweiller. Max enters the children in the Salzburg Music Festival against their father's wishes, however, this transgression ultimately saves the family along with some help from the Abbey's nuns who present a thrilling, inspirational finale.
While I thought I didn't know much about the Sound of Music, the reality was quite the contrary. Without ever having seen the film or another production, I was familiar with a lot more than I ever thought, including memorable songs like "My Favorite Things" or "Do-Re-Mi" or the title track.
One thing I definitely know after leaving the theatre? This is a production you don't want to miss! Tickets are going fast, and NSMT has already added two additional shows to accommodate the growing demand for this great local theatre.
"The start of season 4! Who said we couldn't make it?" an excited Bill Hanney, NSMT owner & producer, asked a packed audience at the stat of the show. "I know we have a good season ahead."
Hanney and NSMT Artistic Director Arianna Knapp also introduced Kristina Von Trapp, granddaughter of Maria Von Trapp. As a special surprise, Kristina & NSMT gave away a trip to the Von Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont to a lucky audience member.
"What a fantastic place this is, and I can tell this is going to be a wonderful production," noted Kristina who also revealed a connection to the NoBo region. "I hold a special place in my heart for this area as I am a graduate of Governor's Academy."
The Sound of Music was directed and choreographed by James Brennan, who helmed last season's record-breaking production of Annie. The production featured a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse and the score by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.

Extra time for more money..
- 0Feb 26, '13 by Jon JI have extra time on my hands now that I'm done with school and I was wondering what education or certifications are available to me that can get me a raise. I just graduated this past December and I passed boards late January 2013.
I'm going to take an ACLS class next month but aside from that what else can I do to increase my pay?
I'm working med-surg of course...
- 0Mar 6, '13 by Lennonninja, BSN, RNStart working towards a Med/Surg certification
- 0Mar 6, '13 by classicdame Guideask your supervisor if they pay extra for extra certs. Otherwise, you would have to go elsewhere to get the pay you want. ACLS, TNCC, etc are, in my facility, requirements for certain departments and do not affect pay. Certification in a nursing speciality might affect pay and will affect, but not all facilities pay extra for that either. They may pay for your testing and cert fees, however. I would start with HR or supervisor.

US perfumery chain, Perfumania is set to buy Parlux Fragrances - manufacturer of fragrances including Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Miller and Marc Ecko. Late last month the two companies signed a a definitive merger agreement under which Perfumania would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Parlux in a transaction valued at approximately $170 million, based on Perfumania's closing stock price of $19.55 per share on December 22, 2011.
Mike Katz, Perfumania's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The combination of Perfumania and Parlux is a major step toward building a more significant and financially stronger designer fragrance and beauty products company. Parlux brings a wealth of products and expertise as a licensee, manufacturer and international distributor."
Fred Purches, Parlux's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The Parlux management team and Board of Directors are focused on maximizing value for stockholders. This combination achieves that objective by providing our shareholders with a significant premium over the current trading price for their shares as well as the ability to participate in the anticipated growth of a significantly stronger, combined company that is well positioned to deliver long-term value to stockholders and a broader range of product to its valued customers."
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Parlux may solicit acquisition proposals from third parties for 30 days from the date of the merger agreement and may at any time respond to unsolicited proposals that the Parlux Board of Directors determines are reasonably likely to result in a superior proposal. The merger agreement provides Perfumania a customary right to match any superior proposal.

Sniffling? Sneezing? Coughing? The number of flu cases are on the rise throughout the country. Here's your guide to relieving cold and flu symptoms is here

A cold or the flu can make you feel miserable, miss work and put your life into disarray. Stop stressing about it and instead, sleep it off. Rest is one of the best ways to combat either illness, says Dr. Davtyan. Does that mean you need to be bedridden? Not at all. And if sleep is elusive, at least get off your feet. "Rest in a comfortable position," says Davtyan. "Watching TV is okay unless focusing on a screen gives you a headache. If the sinuses are congested, it helps to have your head propped up because gravity helps drainage."

Tonight was my second time hitting up an NXT live event, and once again it impressed. My wife and I took in the show again; she's becoming more interested by the day. We got in early, before the show began they had a meet and greet with some of their stars. While we didn't go over for the meet and greet, we did enjoy the reactions of the people who did meet the workers. The table was staffed by Mojo Rawley, Paige, and Sami Zayn and a majority of the crowd lined up to get autographs and pictures with the Superstars. One moment during the meet and greet stuck out more than any other, that would be Mojo taking one fan off to the side, introducing her to the crowd and then dancing with her to the pre-show music. The man is flat out the most charismatic worker I've seen in quite some time.
My wife has never been the biggest wrestling fan; she's pretty much suffered through it in order to appease me while it's on television. We took in our first NXT show in Lakeland a few weeks ago and she left saying how much she enjoyed it, as well as how much she would enjoy seeing it again. When I saw that there was a show coming to my hometown, I had to get into the show. The wife is already a big Mojo fan, due to the incredible personality he brings to the table. I've also found myself becoming a big fan of the ultra self-absorbed Tyler Breeze. The easiest way to describe him is the arrogant offspring of Dolph Ziggler and John Morrison. The character is outstanding and VERY over with the crowd. I do find myself telling my wife little things throughout the show, trying to teach her about the business as we go along, but she's starting to pick up on the basics. The NXT shows are great for people who are just starting to learn things, you don't get too terribly in depth with the house show, but you still get the spectacular ring work that will keep you interested in the matches.
The opening bout of the night was a six man tag featuring Sawyer Fulton, Baron Corbin, and Travis Tyler versus the incredible talents of Kassius Ohno, Sami Zayn, and Leo Kruger. The heel team had talent, great chemistry, and did a good job getting on the crowd. The face team was solid, Ohno and Zayn were flat out impressive, as one would expect. Kruger was his crazy self, toying with Sawyer Fulton on a potential test of strength, getting the entire crowd hyped up as well with his bark. I let the wife know that the Zayn and Ohno as possibly two of the best workers in the business, much less on the NXT roster, she learned pretty quickly that this was flat out the truth. The wife has already asked when they're coming back to town again; I believe I've got a full blown addict on my hands now. For the price, you're not going to get a better source of entertainment, it's a great time for the whole family, and I plan on taking my child sometime in the future as well. You can never get someone started too young with this business; hopefully she'll learn to love it as much as I have over the years.
There was a spectacular Divas tag match featuring Paige and Sasha Banks versus Emma and Charlotte, the daughter of Ric Flair. While the Divas have been getting better on the main roster, the women working in NXT seem to be more impressive. I've actually had my interest kept by the females working the ring in the ranks of NXT, something that WWE hasn't been able to do on a consistent basis for quite some time with their Divas. Another match saw Mason Ryan take on Colin Cassady, a battle of two big men, as well as a match that didn't disappoint. Cassady is a giant of a man, at nearly 7 feet tall, he cuts quite the imposing presence. It's not too often you see someone make a man as massive as Mason Ryan look average, but he did in this match. This time around I didn't get taken out of the match by any leap frog action; I actually kept my eyes on the ring the entire time and even enjoyed the dirty finish.
If you ever have a chance to check out an NXT live event, it's highly suggested you take up that opportunity. As I stated last time, I'm a supporter for good, tonight did nothing to sway me from that stance. The talent is impressive, whether it is the Divas, the veterans, the new comers, or even Snidely Whiplash himself, they do not disappoint for a single moment. I'm becoming a massive fan of the new generation every day; one of the most impressive has been the man teaming with CJ parker, Jason Jordan. The man was impressive during the Lakeland event; tonight he wowed the crowd again, pulling off the victory with an "Olympic Slam." Any "smart mark" knows the likes of Kassius Ohno, Adrian Neville, and Sami Zayn; unfortunately some of them seem obsessed with using their "original name" instead of the names WWE is using. This does NOT make you look more impressive as a fan, you're here to see the NEW version of the worker, accept them in the new role or be quiet. Luckily those people can't ruin an amazing event. Much respect to the men and women who poured their hearts out in that ring, I can't wait to see them next time they're in town. One of these days we'll make the trip to a TV taping. Until then, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for the next live event in our area.

If nothing else, Pirate Latitudes is a reminder of the importance of picking an ironclad password for your computer. This 17th-century seafaring adventure was discovered after Michael Crichton's death, buried like Blackbeard's treasure in one of the author's hard drives. Nobody at his publishing house, HarperCollins, can say when it was written, or why Crichton decided to abandon it, but it's the last completed work of fiction by the man who gave the world Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain.
Crichton's great talent was writing books that were virtually impossible to put down, even when they were bad. Pirate Latitudes is no exception. The plot sucks you in like the giant kraken monster that nearly sinks our hero's galleon as he's being chased by a Spanish warship. Capt. Charles Hunter is the protagonist, a swashbuckling rake from the Massachusetts Bay Colony (with a degree from a new college called Harvard) who is bumming around Jamaica looking for trouble when he hears about a boatload of Spanish booty waiting to be stolen. This being a Crichton novel, Hunter promptly assembles a crackerjack team of ''privateers'' an eagle-eyed helmsman named Enders, the master assassin Sanson, an explosives expert nicknamed simply ''The Jew'' and sails off to raid King Philip's coffers. Along the way he rescues a comely kidnapped Englishwoman from island cannibals, crosses swords with a sadistic villain called Cazalla, and outflanks Spanish gunships with bold tactical maneuvers that would leave Jack Sparrow gasping.
When it comes to sharp, slick techno-thrillers that you can polish off on a flight to Chicago, there's never been anybody better. But a hackneyed historical novel filled with bosomy maidens and blustery old navy dialogue (''Mizzen top blown!'') is not what Crichton should be remembered for. This is one chestful of doubloons that should have been left hidden in the sand. C

COLUMBUS, OH, June 7, 2013 — This weekend marks the 21st year since phenom-turned-drug addict Steve Howe was suspended from baseball for the seventh time, 13 years after earning Rookie of the Year honors with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1980.
In his second season at the big league level, Howe recorded the final out of the 1981 World Series for a Dodger team headlined by that season's Rookie of the Year and Cy Young honoree, Fernando Valenzuela. In 1983, he earned a spot on what appeared to be the first of many All-Star rosters.
SEE RELATED: MLB wants to suspend Ryan Braun, Alex Rodriguez and more, but can it?
Howe never claimed the titles and awards that once appeared his for the taking. Instead, addiction and drug use laid an early claim to the promising lefty's career. His addictions always followed close on the heels of each comeback attempt until his career finally came to an end in 1997.
Drug addiction would return to take his life nine years later, when he died in an automobile accident in the desert of Southern California. He died alone, with methamphetamines in his bloodstream.
Steve Howe's name never became synonymous with victory. It was unfortunately always tied with defeat. His was a tragic story with no happy ending. It was a western without a white hat wearing hero.
SEE RELATED: Marijuana package shipped to Cleveland Indians closer Chris Pérez
Steve Howe was to become an emblem of the rampant illegal drug use of the 1980s in baseball, which hit its high point of public attention in the 1985 Pittsburg Drug Trials. Drugs continued to wreak havoc on active major leaguers well into the 1990s.
As Howe and his generation of ballplayers gave way to a younger crop, the rampant addiction from which they suffered and which they themselves perpetuated never went away. It merely changed labels.
Just last week, Major League Baseball officially released a list of 20 current big-leaguers whose suspensions are imminent because of their connection to Biogenesis, an alleged performance-enhancing drug dealer that had fronted as a Miami-based anti-aging clinic.
The names on the list come as no surprise. Alex Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon, and Johnny Peralta are all on the list. Also on the list is the supposedly clean cut Ryan Braun. Braun had his suspension overturned by an arbiter on a technicality in 2012 embarrassed Major League Baseball and its rather embarrassing drug policy. He tested positive for PEDs during his MVP-winning season in 2011.
No serious observer can so much as feign surprise at the mention of these names. Disappointment? Absolutely. Surprise? Not on your life.
The sad reality is the present generation of ballplayers is following exactly in the footsteps of its predecessors, both those of Howe's tragic age and those of the purportedly bygone "Steroid Era."
What was that line about those who refuse to learn from the mistakes of the past?
While, certainly, the detrimental effects of cocaine use are far more dramatic than most PED cases, the all-encompassing addictive nature of both bears a striking resemblance and both leave an unsightly blemish on America's pastime.
It is time for Major League Baseball to act decisively. It is time for Bud Selig and the powers that be to rekindle the spirit of Kenesaw "Mountain" Landis. It is time for the players union to back up its claim of innocence by allowing the league to punish wrong-doers.
It is time for lifetime bans.
At least that is what was suggested by former big leaguer and current San Francisco Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow on a radio show on KNBR-San Francisco this week:
"(The fans) are saying they're sick and tired of PEDs, and it's coming up again…I'm fed up with it. There was a time when I was a little bit more lenient with my opinion, but now, forget it…If they do it, bang them one time for a hundred games. Twice, you're gone for life…If you take a hard stand against Pete Rose, then by God, you'd better take a hard stand against these guys, because this is cheating, and it's absolutely tainted our beautiful game, and I'm sick of it."
As Judge Landis said while embroiled in the midst of the firestorm surrounding the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, "The only thing in anybody's mind now is to make baseball what the millions of fans throughout the United States want it to be."
Baseball needs to be what fans want it to be. The only dirt it needs is between the base paths and on the pitcher's mound. Baseball is a great American institution, and it is worth purifying for the player's sake and for society's sake as well.
It is too late to save Steve Howe's generation. It is time to save this one and ensure that the next does not need saving.

Update: The mayor of Soledad California got his way. The entrance to the new Pinnacles National Park, in the city, is now on Google Maps and will soon be on Apple's.
And on Tuesday, the city of Soledad - about 75 miles south of San Jose - announced that after its public plea last month, Google now offers driving directions to Pinnacles National Park with an entrance way through Soledad, which it hadn't before.
And, according to city spokesman Rolando Bonilla, Mike Foulkes from Apple called Soledad's city manager a few days ago to say that the Cupertino company is working on putting the same driving directions on Apple's map app.
No word on if the city has contacted TomTom or Nokia.

We've heard time and again that it's really expensive to develop a hybrid, electric car or extended-range electric car. Chevy's upcoming Volt not only has a battery large enough to allow an announce range of 40 miles in electric-only mode, but it also uses a brand new engine design that's not used in that exact form in any other platform. You might imagine, then, that the Volt will be even more pricey to design than the average EV. You'd be right. According to the business plan that GM submitted to Congress, the Volt program will cost nearly $750 million to develop before it's all said and done. To top it all off, the car won't be profitable for at least the first few years that it is in production thanks to the high cost of its battery.
Still, GM seems to have learned an important lesson as it fell far behind in hybrid technology, which was another extremely expensive bit of kit to create and the court of public opinion has dictated that the cost is worth it. So, despite the fact that The General won't make any money on the Volt until around 2016, don't expect the automaker to put the brakes on the program any time soon.

The Chernobyl Diaries – Official Poster & Trailer
UK Release Date: 22nd June 2012
Director: Bradley Parker
Producer: Oren Peli
Cast: Jesse McCartney, Jonathan Sadowski, Devin Kelley, Olivia Dudley
"Chernobyl Diaries" is a chilling original story from Oren Peli, who first terrified audiences with his groundbreaking thriller, "Paranormal Activity".
The film follows a group of six young vacationers who, looking to go off the beaten path, hire an "extreme" tour guide. Ignoring warnings, he takes them into the city of Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, but a deserted town since the disaster more than 25 years ago.
After a brief exploration of the abandoned city, however, the group soon finds themselves stranded, only to discover that they are not alone…

This product is engineered to work with specific vehicles displayed below. Can't find your vehicle, or need assistance, please give us a call at 1-800-358-4751 or 1-989-755-0561.
Engineered as an add-on helper spring for coil spring suspensions, AirLift 1000s are ideal for the rear coil springs of many passenger cars and some SUV's, such as Grand Cherokees, that tow or carry light to medium loads. Kits are also available for front coil spring vehicles such as trucks, SUVs, and motorhomes.
AirLift 1000 features an easy do-it-yourself installation with simple hand tools. Most kits can be installed in about an hour, with no drilling required!
Air Lift 1000 is made from a very durable polyurethane material and is inserted into the vehicle's stock coil springs. When filled with air, it increases the spring rate, or ability to support a load. Because of its design, Air Lift 1000 products are best stated as load support products, rather than lifting products.
The Air Lift 1000 products function much different from LoadLifter 5000 and Ride Control kits. When charged with air the bag will grow in all directions much like blowing up a balloon. Controlling the growth requires a coil spring to hold it into shape and funnel its spring energy into its length. The bag's spring rate comes from compressing its length and also from the bag being wedged in between the coils of the spring. Over inflating the bag can cause the wedging to become too severe and therefore causing the material to thin, which in turn, causes a decrease in spring rate and a premature failure.
The Air Lift Company has been developing air spring suspension products for over 50 years. The original product, a rubber air spring inserted into a car's factory coil spring, was developed and patented in 1950.
The versatility of Air Lift air springs were proven during the early years of stock car racing. Air Lifts were used by most of the stock car racing teams for twenty years or so until the racing suspensions evolved to more sophisticated systems. The Air Lift Company sponsored cars were tough competitors on the NASCAR Grand National Circuit. The Air Lift Company has the longest history of product development dedicated solely to the development of light vehicle air suspension products.
First, in the 1950's, Air Lift pioneered the use of air spring inserts in coil spring suspensions. Then, in the 1960's, Air Lift introduced the use of sleeve-type air springs on pickup truck suspensions. During the 1980's Air Lift started using air helper springs on motor homes and ambulances. Street rods and lowered vehicles were the target in the 1990's. Today's products are an evolution of Air Lift's breakthrough development programs applying the use of air springs in light truck and motor home suspensions. Air Lift has won more SEMA awards for air spring development products than any other company.

The Star 1 Oct 2007. PETALING JAYA: Taking a leaf out of an inter-faith sahur event in Jakarta, Universiti Malaya is organising a get-together here on Wednesday, where non-Muslims will join in the pre-dawn meal for Muslims intending to fast.
The event will be linked to the Indonesian one, held at Jakarta's Grand Cathedral, via tele-conferencing.
The Malaysian side will hold the event at the Ungku Abdul Aziz Residential College in the UM here.
The local organisers of the sahur serumpun (indicating people with similar regional roots) expect about 1,000 people, mostly from the campus community and invited guests, to attend the function, held from 2am to 6am.
Discussing details: Mohammed Nasser (third right) discussing details for the event with student leaders and university officials. They are (from left) Mohd Imran Nol Hakim, Mohd Efendi Omar, Mohammad Iqbal Yusof, Mohd Firdaus Abdul Halim and Fizal Husin.
In Indonesia, where holding a sahur in a cathedral during Ramadan had been done before, the event is being organised by a group known as the Positive Movement.
Movement member Inayah Wulandari, 23, the youngest daughter of former president Abdurrahman Wahid, had invited Malaysian youths two weeks ago to hold the event on the same day and to link the two sessions via tele-conferencing.
She had contacted student leader Mohammed Nasser Yusof, a final year law student and general manager of the UM Students Business Centre here, who agreed it was a good idea.
Inayah's story was carried on Sept 18 in mStar, the Malay news portal of The Star, and has since been discussed at public platforms, with dissenting Muslims voicing their concern about the religious significance of the sahur being eroded.
Inayah said holding the sahur in a church was nothing new in Indonesia, stating that her Positive Movement had done it for two years.
She said the Christians would prepare the food for sahur and the Muslims would join in the meal together with them at the cathedral.
"Inayah is my friend. We met as youth leaders in August, while attending a summer camp," said Mohammed Nasser.
"I agree with Inayah's intention to promote harmony, mutual understanding and youth relations between the two countries.
"However, she has her way of doing things, while we (Muslims in Malaysia) have ours.
"We do not promote the liberalism and pluralism as subscribed by Inayah. Ours is the Islamic way," he said.
While acknowledging the criticisms, he said he would not be cowed into disengaging himself from Inayah.
"This can even be an annual event," said Mohammed Nasser.

Super Typhoon Haiyan, the most powerful storm to make landfall on record, has caused catastrophic damage in the Philippines. It comes after the most active October on record in the region. A total of 7 typhoons developed across the West Pacific during October (Fitow, Danas, Phailin, Nari, Wipha, Francisco, Lekima and Krosa). This beat the previous record of 6 back in 1989.The formation of Haiyan brings the number of named storms in the Western Pacific this year to 28, making it the busiest season since 2004, when 32 named storms were reported.On the other side of the Pacific, storm activity has followed a more typical pattern. The formation of 18 named storms and 7 hurricanes was close to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center's pre-season predictions, and the 1981-2010 average of 15 named storms and 8 hurricanes.Curiously, while in a typical season we would expect four major hurricanes (Category 3 or above on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with 5 being the highest), this year there has been just one, Hurricane Manuel.Manuel turned out to be one of the worst in Mexico's history. When it made landfall near Manzanillo in mid-September, it brought devastating flooding, causing $4 billion worth of damage and killing almost 170 people, one of the ten deadiest tropical cyclones ever recorded in the Eastern Pacific. Meanwhile, in the Atlantic basin, the hurricane season has been one of the quietest on record, and early November has shown no sign of any significant upsurge in activity.That is not to say that a major storm will not occur. In fact, there is some statistical evidence to suggest that late season storms are increasing in frequency. In 11 of the last 18 seasons there has been at least one or more named storms. Of these, Hurricane Lenny in 1999 was both the strongest and deadiest. It reached Category 4 and killed 17 people.Currently, there are mixed signs for potential storm development. Sea surface temperatures are above the required 26C threshold. Winds through the atmosphere are also showing relatively little change with height, which aids storm development. The Madden Julian Oscillation, a band of thunderstorm activity which moves around the equator every 30 to 60 days is also in a favourable position, but only for the next two weeks.Against this, there is a lot of dry, subsiding air across the Atlantic which will hinder cloud development. So if there is to be any late activity in the Atlantic it will have to happen soon, or the Atlantic's tropical cyclone season will be left far behind by its Pacific counterpart.

Another shooting - 20 children killed
View Single Post
December 15th, 2012, 05:12
No kidding.
Maybe if the principal or someone else had a gun, they could have gunned the fucker dead after he first started shooting. Guns can be used for defense, you know. I read stories all the time of people shooting criminals who break into their homes, had they not had a weapon they would more than likely just be another tragic victim story. Sitting ducks, defenseless against an armed criminal with nothing to lose. I have a gun, and it's purely for the defense of my home and family. If someone breaks into my home, kicks in my front door, whatever, I can defend my home. That's a bad thing? No, i dont think so.
That's what the "right to bear arms" means to me - defense against criminals (who will have guns, no matter what laws you want to pass).

Cheney: House and Senate Interchange Hearings Were Positives for CUs (Misc News: February 17, 2011)
Hearings in the U.S. House and Senate committees Thursday were favorable for small issuers such as credit unions regarding the debit interchange rules the Federal Reserve is considering for implementation later this year.
CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney said the hearings were positive developments for credit unions.
"Both hearings were very favorable, and the statements and questions of the members (of Congress) participating in these hearings reflected that they had heard from their credit unions," Cheney said in a letter to league leaders. "However, these hearings are simply a step in a long, multi-front process to fix the problems we expect the Durbin amendment will cause. We have been building momentum on this issue since Congress convened and yesterday's hearings help keep that momentum going."
Frank Michael, president and CEO of Allied CU in Stockton, Calif., nd chairman of CUNA's Small Credit Union Committee, was one of several witnesses – and the only one representing small issuers – at the House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit regarding the Durbin Amendment to Dodd-Frank Act.
Michael told the panel, which includes Michigan freshman Congressman Bill Huizenga, that the Durbin Amendment and the rule drafted by the Fed, are bad public policy and will have a devastating effect on credit unions. Cheney said that Frank's comments were roundly commended.
Cheney said that the line of questioning from members of the committee was universally positive, except for questions from Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., who was a guest of the committee because of his leadership regarding the bill on the House floor.
During a recent interview with MCUL Public Affairs, Huizenga, R-Zeeland, said he has serious concerns about the interchange provision.
"I am particularly interested in finding out how they came to some of the conclusions they came to because they don't make a whole lot of sense to me," Huizenga said. The full story from the interview will appear in the 1st quarter Contact, due out at the end of March.
While the House subcommittee hearing was going on, the Senate Banking Committee was also holding a hearing to discuss implementation of Dodd-Frank.
The CU Journal reported that the Fed doesn't believe it can stop the provision.
"The Fed doesn't have the power to delay the proposal itself," Sarah Raskin, one of the seven governors, told members of the House Financial Services Committee.
While several members of the House have indicated a willingness to roll back the Durbin Amendment, there is less enthusiasm for a change in the Senate, where the interchange amendment originated. Sen. Richard Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who crafted the Dodd-Frank provision and an exemption for smaller lenders, has vowed to push back against any changes in the law or the Fed's proposal.
In his testimony, Bernanke raised concerns about how the exemption for institutions under $10 billion will be enacted, noting that the market is likely to drive more transactions to lower-priced debit cards mandated for the institutions over $10 billion, the Journal reported in a separate story.
"We are not certain how effective that exemption will be," Bernanke said before the Senate Banking Committee. "It is possible that because merchants will reject more expensive cards from smaller institutions or because networks will not be willing to differentiate the interchange fee for issuers of different sizes, it is possible that the exemption will not be effective in the marketplace."
The comment period for the Fed proposal ends next week, on Feb. 22. Under Dodd-Frank, the central bank is required to complete work by April 21 on the cap provision, which would go into effect by July 21.

India has a very rich tradition of classical dance. The Natya Shastra, which is the oldest surviving text on stagecraft in the world, spends a considerable time discussing it. In the old days of the theatre, the dancers would mime the story while the singers would sing the dialogue. The instrumentalists would accompany them all.
This dance form traces its origins to the nomadic bards of ancient northern India known as Kathakaris, or story tellers. Thes bards, performing in village squares and temple courtyards, mostly specialised in recounting mythological and moral tales from the scriptures and ambellished their recitals with hand gestures and facial expressions. It was quintessential theatre using instrumental and vocal music along with stylised gestures to enliven the stories.
This is one of the oldest amd most popular forms of dance in India. Bharatha stands for Bhavana which is mood. Raga is music, and Tala is rhythm, while Natyam stands for Nritya. Movement, mime and music are given equal importance in this dance. The costumes used in a performance are elaborate. The dancer's dress consists of colourful silk cistumes, head-wear ornaments, necklacesa and bangles. Flowers are wound around a long plait.
Kathakali is the traditional dance of Kerala and is one of the oldest forms of theatre in the world. It is a combination of dance and drama where the actors depict characters from Indian mythology, mainly from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The facial expressions and hand grestures are an important facet of this dance form, enhanced by the traditional makeup and costumes. The makeup is of five types:

Definitions for drabbleˈdræb əl
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word drabble
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
drab•bleˈdræb əl(v.t.; v.i.)-bled, -bling.
to make or become wet and dirty; draggle.
Origin of drabble:
1350–1400; ME drabelen < MLG drabbeln to wade in liquid mud, bespatter <drabbe liquid mud
Drab•bleˈdræb əl(n.)
Margaret,born 1939, English novelist (sister of A.S. Byatt).
Category: Biography
Webster Dictionary
to draggle; to wet and befoul by draggling; as, to drabble a gown or cloak
to fish with a long line and rod; as, to drabble for barbels
A drabble is an extremely short work of fiction of exactly one hundred words in length, not necessarily including the title. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space. The concept is said to have originated in UK science fiction fandom in the 1980s; the 100-word format was established by the Birmingham University SF Society, taking a term from Monty Python's 1971 Big Red Book. In the book, "Drabble" was described as a word game where the first participant to write a novel was the winner. In order to make the game possible in the real world, it was agreed that 100 words would suffice. In drabble contests, participants are given a theme and a certain amount of time to write. Drabble contests, and drabbles in general, are popular in science fiction fandom and in fan fiction. Beccon Publications published three volumes, "The Drabble Project" and "Drabble II: Double Century", both edited by Rob Meades and David Wake, and "Drabble Who", edited by David J. Howe and David Wake.

A community rallied Friday behind a man who was caught on tape being beaten by police at a Jewish community center. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
Members of the Jewish community in Crown Heights marched to the 71st Precinct Friday, demanding two of its officers be fired.
They're outraged over the treatment and arrest of Ehud Halevy.
Video captured one of the officers, Luis Vega, putting up his fists and punching the 21-year-old several times inside a youth center.
Police say they were called to the center by the security guard, who said Halevy was sleeping naked. By the time police arrived, they say he had on pants. The criminal complaint says officers were told the man was sleeping in a section designated for women but the center's rabbi, Rabbi Moishe Feiglin, says there's no such section and the 21-year-old was allowed to be there.
"At 5 a.m., it is not a women's side," Feiglin said. "At 5 a.m., it is a lounge, a place for people who need a place to sleep, to crash for the night."
The 21-year-old wasn't at the rally. His lawyers say it wouldn't be wise for him to show up because he is still facing serious charges, including assaulting police officers and resisting arrest.
"The arrest was for trespass and he he wasn't trespassing,"said Norman Siegel, Halevy's attorney. "You can't be resisting arrest."
Halevy's attorneys say the video doesn't show the man hitting police. They're urging the Brooklyn District Attorney to drop all the charges.
Internal affairs is looking into the incident.
"It is disturbing," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "We are doing an investigation. The officer has been placed on modified assignment."
Elected officials say most officers are doing a good job but this case shows that some abuse their power.
"Thinking that he was getting into a boxing ring, literally lining himself up, lining up the victim," said Assemblyman Dov Hikind. "It was just unbelievable. That picture is in my head."
"So it doesn't matter if a young person is wearing a yarmulke or a Yankee baseball cap," said State Sen. Eric Adams. "Police need to treat them with dignity and respect."
The Civilian Complaint Review Board is also investigating.
