thank god it's friday. it's such a beautiful feeling- to know that i don't have any more classes until next monday. whee. i still have a ton of things that i need to get done before i can actually rest- not that i need to rest- i mean honestly- it seems like all i ever do anymore is sleep. but it's all good. i've become a lot of optimistic in the past 24 hours. well- in terms of classes. i talked to my advisor yesterday and we talked about a lot of possible options. AND i found out that our beautiful school actually offers a german language class....woot! so dr. b. told me that if i wanted and if i was interested, i could clep out of it. which, needless to say, would rock my world. much to my surprise, i'm still pretty fluent in it. i'm sure i could breeze through the test, if i did indeed decide to take it. if not, i'm still planning of taking intercultural communications next sememster which fulfills the global studies gen. ed requirement and it's part of the required classes for my major....so either way, i'm set. speaking of classes- i'm also going to be taking two jesus classes in a row- four days a week. from 11 to 1- mondays, tuesdays, thursdays and fridays. umm....whee? the word in it's world and on being a christian. they're both required religion classes.....i have money! whee. so.....today- after i finish eating and get everything done that i need to today- i'm going to get a tv and a dvd player with laura- the coolest chick in town-because my roomie took hers. and i have nothing now. and it's super sad. rawr. okay...this is a really random entry. and i'm distracted now. i'm sitting in the union with sarah, jen, and amanda- and they're talking about something with the history club. and i can't think anymore. and i have to go to the bear center now. and go see my advisor again. fun times. whee. should be a great time. and then- it's THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!

The spirit of the 1980s is embodied in this low profile adidas running design. The adistar is at its best in a nylon and suede mix like this. Made light but resilient for distance running, adidas Originals have brought out the best in this throwback silhouette. The Germans are the kings of the simple running shoe and these hark back to a golden era. We find these fit a little narrow, so we recommend going up at least half a size.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

UNICOR Dorm and Quarters Furniture
Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), and the Quarters Furniture Manufacturers Association issued a memorandum to inform dormitory and quarters furniture buyers about the expiration of a 1999 pilot program under which Federal Prison Industries waived their mandatory source for dorm and quarters furniture.
The announcement explains that changes in the law made the program moot and the pilot program was allowed to expire on September 20, 2005. FPI continues the waiver of mandatory source in the case of dorm and quarters products and refers buyers to FAR 8.6.

Justices Rule Vaccine Firms Protected From Suits
The Wall Street Journal
Date Published:
February 23, 2011
The Supreme Court handed a victory to vaccine makers Tuesday, ruling 6-2 that U.S. law shields them from product-liability suits alleging defects in a vaccine's design. The high court ruled in the case of a Pennsylvania couple who alleged that their daughter suffered profound impairments after receiving a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine made by Wyeth, now part of Pfizer Inc. The result takes a key legal tool out of the hands of those who contend their children's autism was caused by vaccines.

Commissioned by the Sierra Health Foundation, and authored by CJCJ, Renewing Juvenile Justice offers policy recommendations to move juvenile justice practices in California into the 21st Century.
The overwhelming evidence is that in the aggregate, crime coverage is not reflecting an accurate picture ofwho the victims and perpetrators are.
The data reported in the analysis here do not support claims that the three-strikes law reduced crimes rates through deterrence and selective incapacitation.
An unprecedented and rapidly developing trend - the transfer of juvenile offenders into the adult prison system at increasingly younger ages - is creating increasing strain on our country's criminal justice system.
Explore how California's 58 counties send their residents to correctional institutions with interactive maps, charts, and downloadable data.

5 Dividends in Peril Right Now
Windstream (WIN) shareholders are having a rough year in 2012. Shares of the $6 billion phone company have slid more than 12% since the start of the year, making their underperformance versus the broad market more than twice than that. And it could be worse if WIN is forced to cut their dividend payouts in the next quarter or two.
>>3 Tech Stocks Hedge Funds Are BuyingWindstream is a phone company that serves more than 3 million phone lines and 1.3 million internet subscribers. Even though the fixed-line business is a solid income generator, it's also capital intense. WIN's recent acquisition spree hasn't exactly helped ease the load on its balance sheet. When investors talk about unsustainable dividends, Windstream's 9.7% yield should serve as a good example. Currently, the firm pays out a quarterly 25 cents per share (or a full dollar per year), even though the firm has only earned 30 cents per share in income over the last four quarters. That's not a new phenomenon -- WIN has been sporting a payout ratio higher than 100% for years. With a balance sheet that's already leveraged and its cash position dwindling, the firm is going to need some sort of a capital break to keep things running. A dividend cut looks like the "least bad" way to do that.

Finally, an answer to Californiaâs budget crisis!
Back east in Pennsylvania â" a state Iâve never counted among the most innovative and forward-thinking in the nation â" the government bean counters have figured out a way to make wine drinkers help balance the state budget: wine vending machines.
No, Iâm not making this up. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has spent the last two years designing machines that would be located in grocery stores. Prototypes are now ready for testing and two have been installed at supermarkets.
How do they work, you ask?
Thirsty wine seekers enter a 7-by-8-foot kiosk (that's it at right -- hmmm, looks like they should offer a deluxe model with a priest behind one door) and submit their state-issued ID to a scanner. After the machine determines theyâre of age (21 in Pennsylvania), a Breathalyzer test is administered. If your blood-alcohol content is over .02 percent, no sale, wino!
If all goes well with the beta machines, by early October 100 more will be installed around the Keystone State, each stocked with 53 different wine brands. All profits will go to Pennsylvania state coffers.
You donât have to be Bill Gates to figure out the potential pitfalls of this harebrained scheme. What if a 14-year-old with dadâs pilfered driverâs license buys a couple bottles of Muscatel, gets plastered, and steers his skateboard into a wall? (The kiosk matches the driverâs license to a video image of the buyer. Iâm betting it could be fooled by a life-size head shot of dad.) This plan sounds like a big lawsuit waiting to happen.
Besides the dangers, just imagine the government getting involved in the vending machine business. How long do you think it would take to get your money back from the folks in Harrisburg if you fed a $20 bill into the machine and nothing came out?>

WASHINGTON, DC, December 29, 2012 ― If there is any more evidence needed, it should come out in the next few days: Congress is stupid, and they think we're stupid. They're counting on it.
In order to arrive at that conclusion, we should rule out a few other possibilities. Rule out the idea that they've blasted away their minds with drugs; it's imperative that they are not under the control of alien species; let's have faith that they're not simply the most corrupt people in the world. Any of those explanations would also account for their actions.
So, they must be stupid. How else would they have made a deal with President Obama a year and a half ago, when he said that for every additional tax dollar they'd approve, he'd submit a budget with three dollars of deficit reduction? They all know that his budgets (when he deigns to submit them) are incapable of receiving even a single vote, and that was the case even when his party held majorities in both chambers. They all know that he wasn't serious about these offers in the first place, and that he'd simply deceive his way out of any commitment. "You want deficit reduction? OK – I'll eliminate the armed services. What? You don't accept that?"
No, our rulers must be stupid, as well as gullible.
They think that cutting growth in spending is the same as reducing spending. They think that doubling taxes (or subsidies, for that matter) will not alter people's behavior. They think that everyone, from Maine to Alaska to New York to Texas, is the same and will benefit from everything they do. And they think that no one will have to pay for it.
They think that the Constitution, to which they swore an oath, was written in parables; and they think that their own laws should be written as obliquely as possible, so that the consequences of these laws must be, in all cases, determined by unelected judges – who put precedent (past mistakes) above the Constitution.
They think that we won't notice that they spend more time campaigning (raising money and lying to us) than they do in understanding the bills they pass. They think that government is so big that they can't manage the laws they pass, so they fob off their responsibilities on bureaucracies, and never look back.
They pass "compromise" bills that cost billions of dollars, and explain that "It isn't perfect, but it's the best we could do." Well, if we were going to spend a few billion dollars on something, we'd be damned sure it was perfect. But we spend our own money; our rulers don't have to account for anything, and they don't have to earn anything.
They think that inanimate objects commit crimes, and they think that it's prejudicial for us to protect our borders and enforce our immigration laws.
They think that the Federal Reserve shouldn't be audited, but they think the Fed should be authorized to create more trillions of dollars.
They think we need to maintain the government's credit rating so they can borrow more, at low rates, sucking up so much investment money that we poor slobs can't get legitimate loans to build productive businesses.
They also think that we believe they're "borrowing." Borrowing money means you intend to pay it back.
They're not on drugs, or under the control of alien beings, or insanely corrupt. So, they've got to be stupid.
Or maybe they just hate us. In any event, they certainly hold us in high contempt. Why, then, do we put up with them? And for how long can we afford to?

Kara Roberts is using her musical skills to make harmony – on a global scale.
A senior music major with a minor in education, she has spent the last two summers using that training to impact people for Christ in Swaziland.
Since her days in Mission Friends at her church, she has wanted to teach children in Africa.
"My mom was my Missions Friends teacher, and she always had a desire to go on a mission trip to Africa," said Kara. "It was natural for me to follow in her footsteps of being burdened for African children."
She and her mother, Kristina, realized their dream in the summer of 2005 when they traveled to Swaziland with DoMissons, a team coordinated by Southern Baptists' International Missions Board.
Kara returned to Swaziland with a group of 13 OBU students last summer.
"The children cherished everything that we taught and gave them," she says. "They caught on to the songs we taught very quickly, and by the second time we sang through them, they were creating their own harmonies for each of the songs."
Kara and her colleagues led Bible studies on both trips.
"We originally planned for about 20 children and instead had more than 100 in attendance by the second day."
During the second trip, Roberts and the other OBU students also were involved in revival meetings.
"One does not think that you can have that much impact in 10 days, but a church we visited immediately grew in attendance from 25 to 75," she says. "Swaziland only has three full-time missionaries, so when teams come to assist for 10 days, they can cover the same amount of territory that it takes missionaries six months to cover.
"The people love church," she said. "They dance down the isles to give their offerings. They will sing for two hours before the preaching begins. All the music was unaccompanied, with incredible harmonies."
Kara was fascinated by what she heard in the meetings. She returned home with six CDs of worship service recordings.
On her 2006 visit, she spent one night in a Swaziland family's home. She said 15 family members lived together in what Americans would view as impoverishment. She says the family was hospitable and worked to "spoil" her as their guest.
Each of her African experiences made a major impact on her life.
"I'm thankful for what I have and realize that I don't need all that I have," she says. "My eyes have been opened to what I can really live without.
"I don't think I can go through the rest of my life without returning to Africa," she says. "But as of now, I really don't know what my future will be."
For now, she is contemplating a master's degree in music missions, or embarking on a two-year mission program.

WASHINGTON, D.C.- House Speaker John Boehner planned to ask fractious Republican lawmakers on Thursday to support a six-week extension of the government's ability to borrow money, even as Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew warned Congress of "irrevocable damage" that an unprecedented federal default would risk.
Boehner, R-0hio, was expected to broach the plan at a private morning meeting of GOP House legislators, just hours before he and other Republican leaders were traveling to the White House to discuss their budget battle with President Barack Obama.
Aides, who discussed the proposal only on condition of anonymity, did not say whether Republicans would attach any other provisions to the debt limit extension.
Obama has said he would sign a short-term extension, but not if it contained other language that he opposes, and wants Congress to send him a bill unconditionally ending the partial government shutdown as well. Republicans have said they want deficit reduction and cuts in government programs, including Obama's 2010 health care law, to be included.
The House GOP meeting in a basement room of the Capitol came on the 10th day of a partial federal shutdown and one week before the Obama administration has said the government will deplete its ability to borrow money. Most economists say the federal default that could result would deal a staggering blow to the world economy, though some Republicans have said the damage would be manageable.
Earlier Thursday, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew warned the Senate Finance Committee that failure to renew the government's ability to borrow money "could be deeply damaging" to financial markets and threaten Americans' jobs and savings. It would also leave the government unsure of when it could make payments ranging from food aid to Medicare reimbursements to doctors, he said.
"The United States should not be put in a position of making such perilous choices for our economy and our citizens," the secretary said. "There is no way of knowing the irrevocable damage such an approach would have on our economy and financial markets."
The game of Washington chicken over increasing the debt limit - required so Treasury can borrow more money to pay the government's bills in full and on time - already has sent the stock market south, spiked the interest rate for one-month Treasury bills and prompted Fidelity Investments, the nation's largest manager of money market mutual funds, to sell federal debt that comes due around the time the nation could hit its borrowing limit.
At the Finance committee hearing, Lew met a buzzsaw of incredulity from Republicans, who said the bigger problem was the soaring costs of benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare and the long-term budget deficits the country faces. Many expressed doubt about Lew's description of the consequences of default.
The senior Republican on the panel, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, accused the Obama administration of "an apparent effort to whip up uncertainty in the markets." And veteran Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyoming, said, "I think this is 11th time I've been through this discussion about the sky is falling and the earth will erupt. Wyoming families aren't buying these arguments."
Replied Lew, "After they run up their credit card, they don't get to ignore it."
Lew also rejected GOP suggestions that in the event federal borrowing authority expires, the government could use the dwindling cash it has to make payments to debt holders and other high priority needs. He said federal payment systems are not designed to prioritize and said he didn't believe such an approach was technically possible.
"I think prioritization is just a default by another name," Lew said.
He also fended off attempts by the top Republican on the committee, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, and other GOP senators to learn how long a debt limit extension the president would like to see.
"Our view is this economy would benefit from more certainty and less brinksmanship. So the longer the period of time is, the better for the economy," said Lew, who also repeated Obama's willingness to accept a short-term extension for now.
Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said GOP demands to curb Obama's 2010 health care law as the price for ending the shutdown "is not up for debate" and would not happen.
"We need to reopen the government and pay the nation's bills, no strings attached," said Baucus.
Wednesday featured lots of activity but no progress toward ending the budget and debt limit impasses.
Obama had House Democrats over to the White House, while Republican conservatives heard a pitch from the House Budget Committee chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., on his plan to extend the U.S. borrowing cap for four to six weeks while jump-starting talks on a broader budget deal that could replace cuts to defense and domestic agency budgets with cuts to benefit programs like Medicare and reforms to the loophole-cluttered tax code. Curbs to "Obamacare" were not mentioned.
At the White House, Obama told House Democratic loyalists that he still would prefer a long-term increase in the nation's $16.7 trillion borrowing cap but said he's willing to sign a short-term increase to "give Boehner some time to deal with the tea party wing of his party," said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
A midday meeting Wednesday between the two top House Republicans and Democrats, meanwhile, yielded no progress.
Obama also invited the entire House GOP to the White House on Thursday but Boehner opted to send a smaller squadron of about 20 mostly senior members
The frustrating standoff in Washington is weighing down each side's poll numbers, but Republicans are taking the worst drubbing. A Gallup poll put the approval rating for the Republican Party at a record-low 28 percent. Polls have consistently said the Republicans deserve the greater share of blame for the shutdown.

François Mitterrand
François Maurice Adrien Marie Mitterrand (French: [fʁɑ̃swa mɔʁis mitɛˈʁɑ̃] ( listen); 26 October 1916 – 8 January 1996) was the 21st President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra, serving from 1981 until 1995. He is the longest-serving President of France and, as leader of the Socialist Party, the first figure from the left elected President under the Fifth Republic. Reflecting family influences, Mitterrand started political life on the Catholic nationalist right. He served under the Vichy Regime in its earlier years. Subsequently, however, he joined the Resistance, moved to the left, and held ministerial office repeatedly under the Fourth Republic. He opposed de Gaulle's establishment of the Fifth Republic. Although at times a politically isolated figure, Mitterrand outmanoeuvred rivals to become the left's standard bearer in every presidential election from 1965 to 1988, except 1969. Elected President in the May 1981 presidential election, he was re-elected in 1988 and held office until 1995. Mitterrand invited the Communist Party into his first government, a controversial move at the time. In the event, the Communists were boxed in as junior partners and,  ( Wikipedia article )

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Across the country, budget woes are impacting the future of many men and women in our military.
Last Friday, many learned the Army and Marine Corps canceled their tuition assistance program. Now, many are trying to find a new ways to make ends meet.
One of those affected is UT student and Army ROTC Cadet First Staff Sergeant Jessica McGuire.
Her day typically starts at 6:30 with training, followed by classes. Then, every afternoon she's at work study inside the supply room at the army rotc, keeping the area organized and taking orders.
"Any left over time, I'm studying for tests, I'm writing papers, I'm doing volunteer work for our ROTC program, other preparations for training events," said McGuire.
Before last week, the money she got from tuition assistance let her do all this and keep her weekends mostly free.
"With that in place, I really didn't have to worry about not being able to meet my semester monetary deadlines," said McGuire.
But now, the $250 she got for every credit hour is gone.
"I really didn't have any idea. It was really sudden for me," said McGuire. "I'm taking it step-by-step. I'm trying to get through this semester."
Looking ahead, she'll have to work a second job to afford her tuition.
She worries that will take away from her preparations for the Leadership Development Assessment Course which will decide whether she can achieve her goal of active duty.
Not only does she want to be active, McGuire wants to be commissioned as an officer. But she can't do that without a college degree.
Right now, there are about 140 students in the Army ROTC programs at UT-Knoxville and Chattanooga, and an estimated 35-40 of them were relying on the tuition assistance.
But soldiers enrolled right now will continue receiving the assistance until completing those courses, but as of now, cannot put in new requests.
A spokesman for the Army's personnel chief said they will re-evaluate the program if the budget situation improves.

Today we have a treat in store as this is one of the loveliest cities I've ever been to. I stumbled across San Sebastian almost by accident, we had gotten tickets to a concert there (Bruce Springsteen, amazing) so we decided to plan a holiday around the concert. As it turned out we were completely bowled over by the city- it seemed like we had discovered Spain's best kept secret. If you're searching for a destination wedding location in Spain, I would definitely recommend having a look at San Sebastian. Located in the Basque country of Spain's north coast (San Sebastian is also known as Donostia) the city is almost on the Spain/France border, and the coast keeps the temperature mild year round here with averages of 21°C/69°F in summer and °9C/47°F in winter.
San Sebastian is really more like a town than a city with pretty much everywhere accessible on foot and an upbeat, festive vibe. There was a lovely Art Nouveau touch to the buildings and the place seemed really clean and well-maintained overall. The Old Town is a must-see with narrow cobbled lanes, street stalls, and is rumored to have more bars for its size than any other city quarter in the world. The shopping area has numerous small boutiques and designer shops- really there is something for everyone here.
San Sebastian is a very cultural city, with a rather amazing array of events happening year-round: drum parades in January, 'Carnaval' in February, a food fiesta in April, a beer festival in June, their Jazz festival in July and host to an International Film festival in September, and this is only a few- here is a full list of the San Sebastian's yearly events. The city is full of little "pensions" (I first came across this word in the The World According to Garp and was very confused. Pensions are little guest houses, usually family-run and kind of like B&Bs except they'll do lunch and dinner as well and are generally less expensive than a hotel) where wedding party guests could stay- a great way to experience the Old Town. Great nightlife abounds also as San Sebastian is a university town. Bataplán, one of the most popular nightclubs, doesn't open till 2am!
The main beach, La Concha, is said to be one of the best city beaches in the world, while nearby Zurroloia Beach offers great opportunity for water sports.
San Sebastian food quality is undisputed and the city is a centre of culinary excellence for Spain; the restaurants here boast 13 Michelin stars between them. Delicious pintxos (pronounced "peen-chose"- the Basque equivalent to tapas) and fresh fish are specialities. La Rioja region is nearby so some excellent wines are available.
Wedding receptions are catered by the beautiful Mirador de Ulía (above) which is located on the western slope of Mount Ulía overlooking the city. The Mirador has lovely gardens and a terrace with beautiful views where they host weddings- it is also one of the top restaurants in the city, achieving a Michelin star in 2011.
The impressive San Maria del Coro Basilica (pictured) was built in the 16th century and makes a beautiful wedding ceremony venue.
Other churches that are open daily include San Ignacio Church, Buen Pastor Cathedral (both pictured below) and Santa Teresa Convent.
Hotel Maria Cristina
Completely refurbished recently for the 100th anniversary of its opening, the Maria Cristina is right in the centre of San Sebastian. Decorated in an Art Nouveau style, the hotel has a romantic and decadent feel. There are 107 guest rooms and 29 suites with an indoor pool, sauna and fitness room available. The wedding reception menu is fabulous- on the expensive side at €110 per head and ranging upwards with a lobster course available towards the upper end- but apparently worth it. The Maria Cristina can cater for a wedding party of up to 300.
Hotel Monte Igueldo
We stayed at Monte Igueldo when we visited. The hotel is perched on the top of the mountain overlooking the city so you have an absolutely fabulous view of the town and the beach. I would recommend the hotel for a look- it is definitely worth going up there, however when we were there (about 4 years ago, unbelievably enough!) the decor was a bit dated- it sort of reminded me of an old Bond movie, if that gives you an idea. I think I might be able to put up with this for the view though..
There is a cable car that can take you up the mountain to the hotel, otherwise you'd probably need a taxi. We walked up once, on saying this we're not really the active types. It's a pretty large hotel with 125 rooms and they can accommodate 400 for a reception meal, with prices starting at €80 a head. They have a rooftop pool (which as I recall we didn't use, I think it was March and a bit too cold) and right beside the hotel is a small amusement park, which would provide entertainment for kids in a wedding party.
Hotel de Londres
Constructed in 1865 the Hotel de Londres is decorated in a classical style with bright modern touches. The hotel has 148 rooms and 4 guest lounges and is situated right in the centre of the town, pretty much on the beach. Wedding receptions take place in the ballroom overlooking the main La Concha beach and the hotel can accommodate 220 for a reception with prices starting at about €87 per person for the banquet. Rooms on the ocean side also have a beautiful sea view.
Getting there
There are no direct flights at the moment from Dublin- we flew to Santander which was a two hour flight and then rented a car, from there it was about a two hour drive to San Sebastian. Flight transfers are available from other Spanish airports, from Barcelona and Madrid the flight is about an hour.
Real Weddings
For a peek at some real destinations weddings in San Sebastian, take a look at this gorgeous one from Aaron Delesie and this one from John Schnack. We'd love to hear any reader experiences from the city, we'll keep this post updated as we go along!

Sign in to digital edition
Friday 19 Dec 2014
By Emily Sharpe. Web onlyPublished online: 15 May 2014
Rothko's Black on Maroon, 1958, went back on display at Tate Modern this week, 20 months after a young artist defaced it with graffiti ink. A three-person team from the Tate consulted the artist's family and international experts, including the Modern paintings conservator Jay Krueger from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, before embarking on the 18-month conservation treatment. They spent nine months researching and conducting tests before conservators felt confident enough to treat the painting, which is one of the late American artist's famous Seagram murals. The complexity of Rothko's paint layers makes his paintings particularly difficult to restore.
"We knew it was going to be a challenging conservation project," says Patricia Smithen, the museum's head of conservation. "The ink was designed to be very black, quick drying, heavy staining and very permanent." It penetrated through to the back of the canvas, seeping through the cracks in the paint. According to the Tate's senior conservation scientist Bronwyn Ormsby, they did not know much about this particular type of ink prior to the attack as it is not found in many works at the Tate. Consequently a lot of research went into testing samples of the ink to determine what types of solvents can remove it. They brought in Dow Chemicals to find the right one for the job: a blend of benzyl alcohol and ethyl lactate. The task of removing the ink and using reversible, conservation-grade materials to restore the painting's surface fell to paintings conservator Rachel Barker, who says having the opportunity to treat a Rothko is "the highlight of a conservator's career". She says the biggest challenge was replacing the egg and Dammar resin layers that Rothko applied and that the ink dissolved. Barker says the restoration has "surpassed our expectations", a sentiment echoed by Tate's director Nicholas Serota who says that immediately following the 2012 attack there was some uncertainty as to what degree the work could be restored. "We have a fine conservation team that is one of the best in the world. Their expertise, rigour, patient work and respect for the painting has enabled us to return it to public view, as envisaged by Rothko."

|Totally agree with previous comments and reviews - this is a fabulous old pub but ! - it is not in Reading. It is not even in Berkshire. It is up a narrow country lane in the vilage of Checkendon in Oxfordshire and off the A4074 some 10 miles north of Reading. Can somebody in BITE please change the details so that it is at least in the right county.

|I'm not saying anything good about this pub because that might encourage too many people and we love it just the way it is. PS: lovely bacon baguettes last time we were there...
AJM - 3 Dec 2011 22:02
|A national treasure, and I can't believe I haven't heard more about it before. For best effect, try finding it without any modern gimmickry.
The feel is like one of the handful of remaining parlour pubs, but it's more akin to the Bell at Aldworth than those pubs in West Wales run by octagenarians.
Apart from the domestic style and outside toilet, I particularly liked the pricing (Ł3.14 and Ł3.16, cheap for the area); the beer was good but not great.

Lankford Introduces Government Shutdown Prevention Act
Washington, D.C. — House Republican Policy Committee Chairman James Lankford (R-OK) today introduced the Government Shutdown Prevention Act.
"Every time Congress and the President miss a statutory budget deadline, the fallback position is another government shutdown or one more continuing resolution to fund the government at current, unsustainable levels," said Lankford.
"With $16.6 trillion in debt and federal deficit spending hovering at around $1 trillion a year, it's time we put a stop to the irresponsible automatic federal spending spree. The Government Shutdown Prevention Act enables the government to remain open but incentivizes Congress to pass a budget by providing modest incremental spending cuts."
If Congress fails to approve a budget by the end of each fiscal year, the Government Shutdown Prevention Act would ensure that all operations remain running normally without any interruption of services by automatically triggering a continuing resolution (CR) or short-term, stop-gap spending device.
The bill creates an automatic CR for any regular appropriations bill not completed before the end of the fiscal year. After the first 120 days, auto-CR funding would be reduced by one percentage point and would continue to be reduced by that margin every 90 days.
By progressively decreasing the amounts provided under the automatic continuing resolution, the bill provides continued incentives for Congress and the President to reach agreement on regular appropriations bills.
"I welcome the opportunity to introduce this important bill to help continue to reform our broken federal budget process and bring our nation back into fiscal balance," continued Lankford. "I look forward to consideration of the Government Shutdown Prevention Act by committee and the full House. The American people are calling for common-sense reforms they can see, not just smoke and mirrors accounting gimmicks of the past. This bill takes us one step closer to that reasonable goal," concluded Lankford.

Barry Boehm Receives IEEE Simon Ramo Medal
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 29 June, 2010 – Barry Boehm, an engineer whose integration of systems engineering principles with software development has helped enhance the quality, cost-effectiveness and competitiveness of how software and other complex systems are developed, was honored with the 2010 IEEE Simon Ramo Medal at the IEEE's Honors Ceremony in Montreal, Canada on 26 June. The ceremony can be viewed on IEEE.tv.
Boehm, University of Southern California's TRW Professor of Software Engineering, has served on the boards of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Computer magazine, IEEE Software, and other scientific journals. He also chaired the IEEE Technical Committee on Software Engineering, and was a member of the Computer Society's Board of Governors.
Sponsored by Northrop Grumman Corp., the medal recognizes Boehm for leadership in and innovative solutions to the integration of systems engineering and software engineering.
For over 35 years, Boehm's innovations and leadership have profoundly impacted systems and software developers as well as organizational leaders and policy makers in both the commercial and government defense sectors. Boehm showed that engineering rigor could be applied to software development and that the software engineering component was as important as hardware engineering when developing complex systems.
His models for predicting and evaluating software development projects and processes helped create software engineering economics as its own discipline. Boehm's analysis methods have enabled developers to improve software productivity and quality by applying economic techniques to the process.
During the 1970s, Boehm was involved with a US Air Force study on future information processing requirements and capabilities. His analysis showed that software was the most critical technology for strategic, tactical and air defense systems, with higher projected costs than that needed for hardware. As a result, the government, which was expecting hardware issues to be the most critical, redirected its research and development program toward software issues.
With software and its related costs carrying such an impact on overall projects, the importance of rigorous cost and schedule estimation methodologies was clear. Today, any organization within the US Department of Defense (DoD) that develops software makes use of Boehm's methods or techniques derived from his work.
Among the modeling techniques developed by Boehm are the "Constructive Cost Model" (COCOMO), which became the standard for software cost and schedule estimation, and its extension, COCOMO II. Boehm also developed the "Spiral Model," which is a lifecycle process model defining iterative development cycles that incrementally mature a software-reliant system through effective risk management.
The spiral model serves as the basis for the current generation of flexible, incremental, risk-driven lifecycle process models for systems and software. Extensions of his "win-win" approach and "anchor-point" spiral enhancements were adopted by the DoD to improve the US Army Future Combat Systems Program and by the recent National Research Council study on Human-System Integration.

Ten Best Chicken Wings in Palm Beach County
Ah, the Buffalo wing. Or is it just chicken wing? Hot wings? Does it even matter? Because, let's be honest, there's pretty much nothing better than a good fried chicken wing.
Nicole Danna
Like any food with a cult following of diehard fans, there are many different ideas behind where the chicken wing originiated. Some say they are the creation of Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, where owners Frank and Teressa Bellissimo were the first to deep fry frozen chicken wings, then toss them in cayenne hot sauce before serving. Yet another claim suggests a man named John Young served breaded chicken wings in his special "mambo sauce" at his Buffalo restaurant, John Young's Wings 'n Things, in the mid 60s.
Even if we don't know where they came from, many have a standard for how they should be served. Some say in oder for it to be a true "Buffalo" wing, the chicken should be deep fried and tossed in a vinegar and cayenne-based hot sauce. But like so many other famous foods, over the years grilled and breaded versions with special, exotic sauces have popped up, winning the hearts (and stomachs) of so many Americans nationwide.
Even though it's not quite National Chicken Wing day yet -- that's July 29th for anyone counting down the days -- we're celebrating early. Here are the best wings in Palm Beach County.

Not your average dive, this Palm Beach Gardens establishment has a good assortment of all the most important things: music, beer, and food. Most notable: the chicken wings, voted among the best in West Palm Beach by adoring fans near and far. Pair them with any one of the 75 bottled beers on the menu, grab a seat to enjoy some live music, and you've got yourself the perfect evening. And it's all served until the wee hours, as the kitchen closes at 2:30 a.m.
9. The Farmer's Table
Farmer's Table Facebook
This Boca Raton establishment is known for its vegetable and fresh organic, farm-to-table focus. But what we're focusing in on are their Korean-style chicken wings off the starter menu. They're served with a special "good for your Seoul sauce" and a fresh pickled cucumber kimchi for a creative departure from your standard celery and blue cheese.

Everybody's talking about PGX.
Paragraph.PGX® is short for PolyGlycopleX®, a unique combination of water-soluble polysaccharides (plant fibres) that can help you change your life. Used before or with a meal, PGX absorbs many times its weight in water within the digestive system. This action allows you to reduce meal portion size while still feeling satisfied. Taking PGX with meals slows the absorption of carbohydrates preventing blood sugar spiking after meals, helping to get you off of the blood sugar roller coaster that causes between-meal and evening food cravings.
PGX®: Promotes healthy weight loss Controls and balances blood sugar levels Lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels Reduces between-meal food cravings Is safe and stimulant free
It is a proven fact, diets rarely work! PGX addresses the core reasons why we gain weight. Find out how PGX can change your life and help you reach your goal of lifelong weight management.
What can PGX do for ME?
Have you ever made one of the comments below? If you have, don't give up! PGX is what you are looking for and will change your life!
I'm always hungry.
PGX® stops unhealthy food cravings - PGX does not suppress your appetite. It naturally addresses the core reasons why you crave those sweets - blood sugar levels. PGX derails the blood sugar roller coaster that makes you hungry even when you've just eaten and provides a feeling of fullness because of the high fibre content.
I've tried every possible diet. Nothing works.
PGX® helps you lose weight without "dieting"– Diet's don't work – and PGX isn't a diet. By adding PGX to any meal, you will be able you to eat less and still feel satisfied. If you are determined to stay on your current diet, add PGX as it makes every sensible diet work better.
PGX® controls and balances blood sugar levels – PGX naturally slows the absorption of carbohydrates which helps to prevent the rapid rising and falling of blood sugar after meals as well as lowering the glycemic index of foods. PGX is incredibly high in fibre, and a high fibre diet can have long term beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.
I'm too busy to count calories.
PGX® makes it easy to decrease your intake of calories - PGX is not a calorie counting program. It is easy to use, comes in a variety of forms, and can be taken before any meal. How easy would it be to decrease caloric intake if you were able to eat smaller meals and didn't crave those high calorie snacks?

Pay-per-signature is one way of compensating signature-gatherers who collect signatures to qualify candidates or ballot initiatives or recall elections for the ballot.
Several states have made it illegal to compensate petition circulators based on how many signatures they are able to collect on petitions. It is an active area of litigation.
Alaska Republicans move to ban
Alaska State Representatives Kyle Johansen (R-Ketchikan) and Charisse Millett (R-Anchorage) have introduced HB 36 in 2009 to make it illegal for initiative circulators to be paid on a per-signature basis. It would also make it illegal for initiative circulators to circulate more than one initiative at once.[1]
Arizona legislature may ban
The Arizona Reform the Initiative Process Amendment (2010) has been proposed as a reform of Arizona's laws. One of its provisions if enacted would ban signature-gatherers from getting paid by signature or page.
Prete v. Bradbury
- Main article Prete v. Bradbury
Prete v. Bradbury is a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon against Oregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury challenging Oregon's restrictions on paying petition circulators by the signature.
The outcome of the lawsuit was that U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken, a Clinton appointee, upheld Oregon's ban on pay-per-signature on February 11, 2004.[2] The ban was one of the provisions of Oregon Ballot Measure 26.

Sadducees: a group of religious leaders in the Jewish religion from the second century B.C. to the first century A.D. In Hebrew their names mean "the righteous ones." They were smaller in size than the group of the Pharisees. The Sadducees were generally on the upper class, often in a priestly line, and the Pharisees in the middle class, usually merchants and tradesmen. The Sadducees accepted only the Torah, the first five books of the old Testament, as authoritative. They held rigidly to the old Testament law and denying the life after death, reward and punishment after death, the resurrection, and the existence of angels and demons. They controlled the temple and its services and were unpopular with the majority of the Jewish population.

- Traveller type: Family Traveller
We arrived with small kids at this hotel and they made us wait 2 hours then gave a room that only had one small bed, after we had reserved two doubles and a baby bed. The room was dirty and unclean. We left rather than stay there. Staff rude and incompetent. stay away. Only positive point is town of tlaxacala which is very beautiful town.

Mountain Vista Medical Center chose its initial staff of 320 from a mountain of more than 5,000 applications. The IASIS Healthcare hospital will open its doors late next month in far east Mesa.
"I would say that on average we've had 100 to 200 applicants a week applying for positions, some weeks more than others," said Joe Marquart, the hospital's human resources director.
"Our biggest challenge has been just simply being overwhelmed by the number of people who have been interested."
Still, the 171-bed hospital at 1301 South Crismon Road near U.S. 60 is having a tough time filling some positions in the areas of physical therapy and respiratory therapy.
There's no shortage of Arizonans interested in health care professions, said Bridget O'Gara, Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association spokeswoman.
However, the lack of training capacity keeps many from pursuing careers, and helps fuel the current shortage of qualified health care professionals, she said.
"Our shortages really stem from our exploding state population and a lack of capacity in our educational programs," she said.
"The areas where we're seeing significant shortages continue to be our registered nurses and the allied health professions, which would include physical therapists, occupational therapists, radiation technologists and pharmacists, as well as others."
Last fall, Banner Baywood Medical Center at Power and Broadway roads in Mesa opened its seven-story patient tower, adding 120-plus beds to the existing 242.
The campus, which also includes Banner Heart Medical Center, has added more than 100 employees in the past year.
Banner Baywood always needs more nurses, as well as radiology technicians and respiratory therapists, and is helping local colleges accommodate more students, said Tom Koelbl, the hospital's chief human resource officer.
"One of the problems they're having is there's no shortage of students trying to get in, but there's a need for clinical instructors and clinical time," he said. "So Banner has initiated a program where we're actually providing instructors to help with the programs ... which ultimately means more nurses graduating. It helps not only Banner, but all of the health care delivery folks in the region."
The state Legislature appropriated $20 million to Arizona's Partnership in Nursing Education with the goal of doubling the capacity of the state's nursing education programs by 2010."We're getting close to that goal, but there is definitely a lot of work to be done in that arena because of the increasing population," O'Gara said.
"There is a lot of innovation going on and a lot being invested in making sure that people can get into the health professions, and that we have the work force that we need to care for patients."
One advantage Mountain Vista Medical Center has had in recruiting is many health care professions are attracted to new hospitals, said Kelly Adams, the hospital's CEO.
"We've hit our initial hire number and eventually we'll beat 400 to 500 employees," he said. "It's all driven by the number of patients who are in house. We appear to be very fortunate with recruiting."
