The Ten Most Badass Band Names in DFW

Prolific Dallas playwright Jonathon Norton has a new one called Homeschooled, directed by Regina Washington at African American Repertory Theatre in DeSoto. At 85 minutes, it's the right length for the play's extended bouts of angst among three women at odds over how to teach the most violent episodes in black history to young children.
Lead teacher Johnetta (Denise Lee) isn't aware that her young assistant, hijab-wearing Rashida (Ebony Marshall-Oliver), has answered a student's question about lynching with the tragic story of murdered black teen Emmett Till. Discovering a graphically detailed drawing of a lynched and castrated man done by one of the students, Johnetta's sister Morgan (Eleanor Threatt-Hardy) objects to Rashida's lesson and announces that she's taking her smart 8-year-old (adorable Allysen Elizabeth Jackson) out of the homeschool environment and enrolling her in an expensive private academy. Johnetta feels betrayed.
The play suffers from a lack of focus on what it really wants to say. As it is, Homeschooled doesn't keep the stakes high enough to warrant its many emotional breakdowns and bursts of tears. Is the conflict here about different ways black parents teach ethnic history? Is it about lingering family squabbles among sisters? Is the real problem the young assistant's desire to add Arabic to the curriculum?
The issues may be fuzzy, but the acting is crystal clear. Lee, Threatt-Hardy and Marshall-Oliver are so good together that they consistently elevate the flat stretches of dialogue with heartfelt performances, achieving subtler, deeper shifts in emotion than the script would suggest.

Wedding: 7/9/2011
Overall our wedding at Harmony was amazing.
Harmony is an absolutely beautiful location. It was priced right, and they were very flexible.
We had 80 people, but they could easily have had over 150 comfortably. Their wine is really good, and the servers were friendly, and gracious.
Linda can sometimes be a little stern, but she returned our calls on time and made sure that everything worked perfectly. She is really good with answering questions for vendors, etc.
We ordered chairs because theirs are a little cheap, their tables are nice and the indoor furniture, decor is fantastic. They had market lights in the courtyard and made sure all the bulbs worked before the wedding which made the ambiance amazing. They also watered the day before so nobody had wet shoes.
The one complaint that I had was we paid an extra hour for the wedding to end at 10:30, and it ended at 9:30... didn't really matter though because everyone was good and tipsy and all danced out.
I have been to quite a few weddings, and although I am a little biased because it was my wedding, I have to say it went fantastic. We had quite a few compliments about Harmony.
Note: Don't let bob play the organ for the ceremony (kinda cheesy, though you may like that stuff), but ask him to play during the cocktail hour, pretty cool..
Wedding: 9/24/2011
The venue is beautiful! We wanted somewhere that was relaxed and didnt need much decorating. It was a great venue for an outdoor ceremony and recpetion. The wine is great too :)
Wedding: 9/18/2011
Shawn and Linda were really friendly and helpful! This is the perfect outside venue with a roomantic vibe. It's beautiful and required very little decorating.
Wedding: 7/3/2010
Beautiful venue! Prices seemed reasonable. Service was great on the day of wedding. Service prior to the wedding was questionable.
Wedding: 10/15/2006
The garden/vineyard atmosphere. Very charming and comfortable for everyone.;I thought soft drinks were included in the price ex: diet coke/coke, but I found out the price included wine/beer/champagne/sparkling cider/grape juice. The contract said soft drink, so maybe I should have clarified what soft drinks to be provided were.

text: Domenicali: What happened to us last year in Jerez will not be repeated 4 January, 2013 Stefano Domenicali looking ahead to 2013 The opening races of the 2013 season's Formula 1 world championship will be crucial, according to Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali, who is adamant that the team will not stumble at the first test as they did last year. In 2012, runner-up Ferrari had a dire start to its campaign, while eventual champion Red Bull also took some time to establish its full potential. But with the sweeping rule changes of 2014 looming large, Domenicali said the dynamics of this season's battle will be different. "Next season [2013] will be decided in the first races," he is quoted by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport. "The teams will do their work for 2013 and then move on to the preparations for 2014," the Italian added. "I think this switch will happen in July, so you will need to start the year well." Referring to the 2014 rules, featuring the move from V8 to turbo V6 engines, Williams' technical director Mike Coughlan confirmed: "It's a huge change. "There are very few teams who will be able to do a fully-focused run on the 2013 championship and the year after," he is quoted by the Sun newspaper. However, Domenicali said that he is confident that Ferrari will succeed where it failed in 2012. "What happened to us last year in the Jerez test will not be repeated this year," he insisted. "Now we are sure that the wind tunnel will not give us surprises," added Domenicali, referring to the closure of the Maranello facility for a revamp, and Ferrari's need to work in Toyota's state-of-the-art Cologne wind tunnel.

Forza Ferrari I really hope you're right Stefano and last year's mistakes with the wind tunnel will not be repealed this year. Oh I can't wait for the F1 season to start again. Gooooo Ferrari in 2013!!! Let's get 'em! Lauda Fan Why does this man still have a position at Ferrari? That's nuts. I guess they enjoy losing year after year. Makes no sense that the rules of the world don't apply to Domenicali. Junior Johnson I just dont know why thus fellow still has a job at all! He built one of the worst cars ever for Ferari! Then he goes and says he cant work propurly cos Ferari broke the windtrunnel! Ross Braun didnt habe this problem when he was building his feraris! Ross used to fix the trunnel himself if there was a problem not just complain about it and get lazy making a rubbish car! Anyway now hes trying to make himself look less stupid and trying to point out that Red Bull car breaks all the time and the guy who built there car is not so good like himself! It does seem strange to me though I think that when Christen Horner built Webbers car he did something to make it break so that his favourite gold boy Vettel could beat Webber! I feel sorry for Webber but now he needs to get clever and swap cars with Vettel next year when hes not looking! Kimi4WDC @Junior Johnson Frankly, he is there because Luca asked Dominicalli to stay, who wanted to leave. Reason for this is, Dominicalli is a remarkable at managing Ferrari logistics and operations. It seems Luca does not believe anyone else can do a greater job. This also means it's Luca's responsibility to hire people who know how to build fast car. Peter Stefano makes point clear that they don't want to have a slower car right from the start. But so do RBR want to. They too want a good start like they have 2011. It's all down to Designers now. Who designs best will come out good. quattro Mr SD is implying that the problems they had last year were only due to the use of a faulty w tunnel, which to me seems to not add up. Ferrari actually went backwards towards the end of the season (or did the others gain more?), when they started to use the non-faulty Toyota w tunnel. So I am not getting my hopes up yet – words do not cut it anymore. We will believe you, mr SD, when we see the times at Jerez. In any case we know that when ALO is behind the wheel, beautiful things happen no matter how bad the car is compaired to the others, so I am cannot wait for 2013 season to start in any case movers 4 less las vegas The IRS has many options on how to collect from you, but did you know that you have legal rights as a taxpayer?

As a physician and the owner and medical director of Nu U MedSpa and Laser Center, Dr. Priyanka Gambhir takes the time to personally perform each aesthetic medical procedure at her center. Dr. Gambhir firmly believes that these procedures should work toward restoring patients' natural beauty as opposed to reinventing an entirely new look. To accomplish this, she relies on clinically proven techniques and the most current med-spa technologies she can find, including Alma and Cutera laser systems and skincare products infused with powdered microchips.
Tranquil aromas and the sounds of soft music drift through the relaxing pathways of Deldor Day Spa & Salon, where clients unwind by slipping into plush robes and Sensi sandals. Attentive spa concierges pour steaming cups of tea to warm the soul and awaken the mind before aestheticians beautify bodies with more than 70 indulgent treatments. The vast variety of services allows guests to soften skin and reduce signs of aging in a single visit that's preferable to the local swimming pool with paraffin wax and time machines.
The term "wedding hair" may conjure images of updos, but that's not all it can mean. Under the care of the Up Do's and Eye Do's team, it can be whatever you want, from half-up, half-down styles to a chic blowout or ringlets for a flower girl. Audrey, the team's lead hair stylist, crafts a diverse array of just such wedding-appropriate hairdos. While she tends to locks, her business partner Cindy—a makeup artist and licensed medical aesthetician—subtly enhances the wedding party's features with products from MAC, Bobbi Brown, and Smashbox.
While the duo's main focus is on weddings, they also style clients for other special occasions and introduce kids to the joys of the spa experience. At their children's birthday parties, little ones get their hair and makeup done and even get to wear clip-in hair extensions, a more practical and temporary hair-extending alternative to wearing hats full of Miracle-Gro.
The founder of Direct Pain Relief, Norma Tropiano, NMT, LMT, NCTMB, handpicks and trains each of her licensed and nationally certified therapists, who boast expertise in neuromuscular therapy, trigger point, medical massage, and bodywork. Therapist Donald personalizes the noninvasive, 60- to 90-minute sessions to the needs of each client's body, pinpointing the root cause of discomfort before administering treatments to alleviate muscle spasms. During neuromuscular therapy and pain-relief sessions, he eliminates aches by locating and releasing contracted muscles and trigger points. Alternatively, his fusion massages abolish tension and rid muscle tissue of toxins through a combination of massage techniques?including Swedish and deep-tissue strokes?and adoption of Gumby as a spirit animal.
Together, Grace and Danny Choi oversee a team of pampering professionals inside Celebrity Nails and Spa 3. The crew treats clients to manicures and pedicures, which swaddle hands and feet with soothing masks and warm towels. Inside the private massage room, therapists mix and match modalities such as relaxing Swedish kneads and trigger point therapy. The former improves circulation and range of motion, and the latter breaks the viscous cycle of spasms and pain with focused pressure. The massage therapists also use acupressure to free up meridians—energy pathways that can become blocked by stress, illness, and lost Legos.
In their devotion to making clients look red-carpet ready, the stylists at Celebrity Salons recently expanded their menu to include hair-smoothing services such as Brazilian blowouts, Keratin Complex straightening, and Japanese straightening. These frizz-fighters come in addition to a complete lineup of cuts, coloring treatments, and styling services, all of which could finally help Big Foot assimilate into human culture. The stylists work with men, women, and children, treating locks to high-quality products from brands including Pureology and Moroccanoil.

The 23rd state to be admitted to the United States, 15 March 1820. The first Mass offered within the limits of Maine, and of New England, was said on Sainte Croix Island (now De Monts), 1604, by Reverend Nicholas Aubry, a priest who had accompanied the Sieur de Monts in an expedition to claim land for France. The settlement was soon abandoned and nothing remains but a map of Samuel de Champlain to indicate the site of the first chapel. In 1611 Mass was offered on a small island in the mouth of the Kennebec by Father Pierre Biard, S.J. A permanent settlement was attempted, 1613, by the Sieur de La Saussaye, accompanied by Father Ennemond Masse, S.J., Father Biard, Father Quentin, and Brother Gilbert du Thet, at Saint Sauveur near the present Bar Harbor; but the colony was attacked after a few months by Samuel Argall of Virginia on a claim that the territory was English, and the missionaries were cruelly dispersed. More lasting missions were established by the Capuchins, 1633, at Pentagoet on the Penobscot (the present Castine), and by the Jesuits, 1646, under Father Gabriel Druillettes at Norridgewock on the Kennebec. In 1863 a copper-plate was found at Castine with an inscription showing it to be from the corner-stone of a chapel built, 1648. In 1684 Father Louis Thury of the Quebec Seminary built the church of Saint Ann on the site of Oldtown, a parish which still exists, the oldest in New England. The mission stations on the Penobscot and the Kennebec were destroyed by expeditions of English soldiers sent for that purpose from Massachusetts colony through political enmity in 1704, 1722, and 1724. During the last Father Sebastien Rile, S.J., was brutally killed when he insisted on remaining with his charges at Norridgewock. The first churches for white settlers were built at Damariscotta (Saint Patrick's), 1808, by the future Bishop Cheverus, and at Whitefield, 1822, by Reverend Denis Ryan.
Catholic influence on the place-names of the state is shown in the following:
Ecclesiastically, the state is govered by the diocese of Portland.
- Carmel
- Saint Agatha
- Saint Albans
- Saint David
- Saint Francis

The Giver Movie Review
Based on the famous YA novel by Lois Lowry, The Giver, famous in classrooms nation-wide, has finally made it to the big screen. Find out more in The Giver Movie Review. Back to Article
i just read the book and now my school will be going to the movies to see it 9/23/14
i had to read this book in 6th grade and my teacher had this fake movie poster for it and now there is actually a movie for the book!!!! so cool
I loved the book and I want to see the movie SO BAD
Best book ever
this was an incredible movie. i loved all of it.
u didnt like ur birthday
expect they had taylor in the giver for 10 secounds
maybe there twins :0
I loved the book, and I'm sure I'll love the movie. And hey, adding a little romance is always fine by me.
Even my bff ( Bunnyluver46 ) said that the Chief Elder looked like President Coin. But they're not the same actress.
It looked like they TOOK ALL THE HUNGER GAMES PEOPLE! Like the Chief Elder ( Meryl Streep) looks JUST like President Coin and acts like her! j
Asher reminds me of Marvel. Jonas REALLY remind me of Gale, and he kind of looks like Gale, well I think that. A mixture between Gale and Peeta. And The Giver looks like President Snow! Well I think he looks like that, maybe I'm just crazy. I've had TOO much hunger games.
Asher was a force to be reckoned with in that movie...xD
I just watched the movie. It's so-so, I feel like it could have been longer. it's 1 hour and 31 minutes. i feel like they had a small budget and TAYLOR SWIFT WAS ONLY IN THERE FOR 10 SECONDS! SERIOUSLY?! I would rate it 6 out of 10 or 3 out of 5. Not a bad movie, but not the best movie. The trailer was good... Not the best birthday... It's so different from the book! But anyway, that's my opinion. And the whole friend thing, well Asher kind of reminded and looked like Marvel in THG.
O_O wow just wow
i want to see this movie
i want to see this movie

Stereo has been the primary music format for more than 50 years, but mono sound is enjoying a comeback.
The BAC Mono may have seemed too good to be true when we first got to see this single-seater, road-legal supercar but the Briggs Brothers have proved that it is, very much, a reality.
If you want to listen to your music in mono there are couple of options available including software tweaks and headphone adapters, as Geoffrey Morrison explains.
Building your own car is a big deal, so we spoke the men behind the loony BAC Mono to see why they took the chance of a lifetime.
We sat down with the Briggs brothers at BAC to hear the story behind the Mono.
BAC have moved out of their original factory, the back of a restoration garage, into a brand new facility in Liverpool. We caught up with the Briggs brothers to check out the new home of the Mono. While we were at it we decided to take it out for a spin, too.
The extra mono earbud costs $50, according to leaked images of the accessory store. A clear shield, meanwhile, will set you back $75.
Hardware update will bring a mono earbud and support for prescription glasses to Google's augmented-reality specs.
The Woo WA-234 Mono is two amps in one, it's an astonishingly good headphone amp, and it's just as remarkable with speakers!
The BAC Mono aims to give drivers the ultimate driving experience in a package that's as good looking as it fast.

Tell me about the vision for your Don Quixote film. It's not the original Quixote story, but your own interpretation of it, correct?
Well, basically I tried to loosen up, because the book is so vast and almost too impossible to make it into a film. To condense it, would lose the point of it. So, I basically changed it into a modern day advertising executive, played by Johnny Depp, who's in the business of selling dreams – cheap and nasty dreams – who somehow falls into the 17th century and Quixote thinks he's Sancho Panza. So, you've got this modern sleek exec becoming the servant to a mad man.
Why do you think a Quixote's transformation into a film has been so cursed? You're not the only director who encountered problems. Orson Welles had his own doomed Quixote project.
It's a very difficult project and it gets those of us who are trying to make it sort of obsessed. I don't know, but there does seem to feel that. It took Orson Welles 10 years not to finish his movie, so I've got a bit of time not to finish mine.
Through the course of the making or unmaking of the film, you see rainstorms and flash floods and problems with the actors – yet through the entire process, you never give up. Was there ever a point where you felt it might not come together?
All through that I was actually very concerned we couldn't do it. But I don't show that. My job as director is to convince everybody that we can do it. So I think some people who've seen the film think I was a bit naïve. I wasn't. My job is to make people believe we can do it, even when, in my heart of hearts, I know we couldn't do it.
You gave Louis and Keith, the documentary filmmakers, unprecedented access to your life. How did you find these guys and how did they gain your trust?
Well, they were graduate film students and I wanted someone to document "12 Monkeys." We had no money, so we got them the hi-8 camera, all the tape they needed, and total access. And they made a really good documentary. So I realized they were intelligent and sympathetic. So when it came to doing "Quixote," I wanted them on the job again. And they ended up getting probably a far better film than had we made the movie. (Laughs)
Exactly. They got a film out of it and you're still waiting. You mentioned you gave them access for selfish reasons, because you wanted to see what you were like.
The simple fact is, I haven't a clue as to who I am. That's a simple fact. I remember several years ago we were doing "Fisher King" and it was Robin's (Williams) birthday and we did a surprise on the set for him and we shot him on the set from above. And the next day I was watching this bit and there was this guy in the room I didn't recognize – and it was me. This creature running around busy with everything, so I don't really know. Selfish in the sense that I wanted a diary kept because I knew something would happen. And my memory is getting more and more faulty and I thought here would be a way of having something in the future to look back and say. "Oh, that's how we did it."
Have you ever thought about going back into animation where you wouldn't have to worry about actors or flash floods or natural disasters?
Part of me keeps thinking about that. The other side is that I used to do that and I moved into live action and I want to stay in it as long as I can. That is my fall back if everything falls through, I can get back on my computer and keep playing again.
So you prefer live action over animation.
Well, I really have come to like working with actors. It's strange. It's more to me like Python because it's a group thing, y'know? I have my ideas, they have their ideas and somehow we make more interesting work because of this combination of ideas. I just prefer it. I don't want to make boring, naturalistic films. I still want to create extraordinary worlds and beautiful images. I want to use real people because they surprise, and with animation, you're less surprised because you're in total control of the thing. Maybe now I'm easily bored, so with every film I hope something's going to go wrong because it's kind of a test of my own ingenuity. But this one test was too great and I lost.
Well, what little of the movie we got to see through storyboards and camera tests, it looks like a cartoon, big and fantastic and imaginative.
And it is that. When I do my storyboards, they are cartoons and trying to translate those cartoons into living moving images is intriguing, always surprising.
Now, you've said you're not going to give up. That you're going to make this movie.
No, because I'm an American that's why.
Can you tell us your plans?
Right now we're in negotiations with the insurance company to buy the script back and hopefully that will resolve in the next few weeks. Then the long process begins to raise the money. With any luck, my plan is next September, three years after the original start date, we can start again.

This was an on-going issue that many of us noticed after we observed an abrupt change in MText behavior going from ACAD 2010 to 2011. In 2013, it appears that now, if I want, I can once again specify a spacing between paragraphs of a value less than 0.25" in an Imperial units drawing where the MText text height is say, 1/8", as an example. What's interesting is that I came to notice that metric unit drawings did not suffer from this behavior, since, if you were using text with a height of 2.5mm, you then had the option of going all the way down to a minimum of 0.25mm in ACAD 2011 and 2012 without any ill effects. Apparently, then, the program made no distinction between imperial and metric units for paragraph spacing, with the result being that metric users were "good to go", while the rest of us were needlessly restricted to a minimum of 0.25 GENERIC UNITS applied indiscriminately. Anyway, it's nice to see that finally some action appears to have been taken at Autodesk.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by Joshua.Benoist. See the answer in context.
Toot our horn a bit here. I remember receiving a support case where this issue was reported last year. We logged a change request for the case and the developers fixed it. We are glad you noticed that this was fixed in the new release.
Toot our horn a bit here. I remember receiving a support case where this issue was reported last year. We logged a change request for the case and the developers fixed it. We are glad you noticed that this was fixed in the new release.
Sooo, how does one fix it if you can't go to 2013 for another 1-2 years? Is there a fix for 2012? We've only just now upgraded from 2009... ( pls - don't say it : )
Actually, when I made this statement, it was a bit premature. I find that with 2013 I still have to use a work-around, which is as follows (this only applies to Imperial units, metric works fine):
Go to model space and pick a textsize that would correspond to a scale factor where, say, 1/8" text would multiply to no more than 4" - namely 3/8"=1'-0" or a scale factor of 32. The size of 4 as a limit is important to remember, because that is what the error message tells us when we try to adjust the paragraph spacing (pick a size between 1/4" and 4").
Go ahead and set up your mtext with your paragraph spacing the way you like to see it. Once you have it looking o.k., run the CHANGE SPACE (CHSPACE) command from within a paperspace viewport that shows your mtext. This apparently fools ACAD into accepting a value (when moved from MSPACE to PSPACE and scaled down accordingly) that is now less than the lower limit (1/4") it was insisting you had to use before, when the mtext command was run in paper space.
Now, you can save this new paperspace mtext object as a template to insert wherever you wish. A bit ridiculous, I agree, but I've had good luck with this so far.
OK, I was really suspicious - but sure enough, it worked!
Thanks lovecraft - you're right - a bit ridiculous, but certainly effective.
<edit - >
Also noticed, you can't modify the paragraph spacing if you need to change it for some reason. You'll have to do this routine for each difference you'll want.
<- edit>
I actually never had this happen until 2013. I've been using the same text height for years in paper space and always was able to set paragraph spacing at just about anything (using imperial). As far as I'm concerned this is just another thing that Autodesk broke that worked fine previously.
We work in inches and in 2012 Mechanical we try to set our paragraph spacing to .100 on smaller drawings and .13 on larger drawings because the paragraph space is in addition to the default line space. I still cannot set the spacing any smaller than .25". That is not acceptable. Is there a work around? When will it be fixed?
Did you take a look at my posting dated 7-27-2012? I know this might seem an absurd workaround, but I have had pretty good luck with it. BTW, I've just taken the plunge into 2014 this week and haven't tried paragraph spacing in this release as of yet. I probably won't even try to set spacing the way we all could before.....it seems a waste of my time to keep testing whether this has been fixed ad nauseum.....good luck
Sorry.....you don't get to toot your horn yet. It's broke in 2012....you owe us a hotfix and then I'll toot your horn for you.
Thanks lovecraft, we'll give it a try. I still say Autodesk owes us a hotfix......we will be on 2012 for at least a year....

The school system uses Cisco wireless access points and manages them using AirWaves' AirWave Management Platform (AMP). FCPS has also become the first user of AirWave''s Executive Portal technology, which allows users outside the IT department to view wireless network usage data on a district-wide basis in real time from a Web-based portal. The Executive Portal feature of AMP was developed with input from Fairfax County Public Schools.
Neal Shelton, FCPS' Network Engineering Supervisor, said in a prepared statement: "With thousands of devices to manage in hundreds of schools located miles apart, we needed a centralized solution to automate routine processes like configuration management and firmware distribution."
The AirWave software, aside from providing a single-console management, can generate historical trends reports, provide real-time information on devices and users on the network and generate RF maps showing the locations of connected devices over a floorplan.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
FRANCE/ECON - France to raise 360 million euros from trader bonus tax
Released on 2012-10-19 08:00 GMT
Tue Jan 12 2010
France expects to raise 360 million euros (522 million dollars) from its
one-off tax on bank bonuses that will apply to some 2,500 traders, Finance
Minister Christine Lagarde said Tuesday.
The minister dismissed suggestion that banks will leave France in protest
at the measure and said France will turn up the pressure on the United
States to rein in bank bonuses during a Group of 7 meeting in February.
"I don't believe that there will be an exodus of traders," said Lagarde in
the interview to the pro-government Le Figaro newspaper .
"Where would they go? To London?" she asked, noting that Britain was also
applying the bonus tax.
The 50-percent tax will apply to bankers who have earned a bonus of more
than 27,500 euros and for the time being there are no plans to extend it
beyond 2010, she said.
"We are counting on an influx of 360 million euros, of which 270 million
will be set aside to support the Guarantee Fund for Depositors to
strengthen the security of account-holders," she said.
The French government last month approved a draft bill for the new tax
that will be contained in new legislation on financial regulation due to
go before parliament this month.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown
agreed during a meeting in Brussels in December to tax bankers' bonuses as
part of a drive to make banks more responsible.
"We wanted an exceptional tax to address exceptional circumstances,"
Lagarde said. "That was the objective guiding us."
Leading French bank BNP Paribas sparked public outrage here in August over
its plan to pay more than a billion euros in bonuses to its staff.
It argued it was acting within Group of 20 rules and warned that foreign
banks might poach its best staff if they were denied decent bonuses. But
that failed to placate public opinion.
The US administration has balked at such measures targeting banks but
Lagarde said American public opinion was behind them.
She suggested that President Barack Obama would now turn his attention to
financial regulation, having completed health care reform.
"I can't imagine that we would allow such excess from American banks. It
would politically unmanageable in a country where unemployment has reached
10 percent," she said.
The issue will be discussed at the G7 meeting of finance ministers in
Canada in early February, she said.

September 28, 2012 in Region
Wash. minimum wage will rise to $9.19 per hour
OLYMPIA — Washington state's minimum wage is increasing 15 cents to $9.19 per hour.
The Department of Labor & Industries said today the new rules will go into effect in January. Washington is already the state with the highest minimum wage in the country.
Washington voters approved a process to calculate the minimum wage in 1998, and the new increase reflects a rise in the Consumer Price Index. That has been driven upward recently due to gasoline prices.
Oregon has the next highest minimum wage, and its 2013 floor will be $8.95 per hour.

Before Buying a Home, Research the Neighborhood
These days, it doesn't matter whether you're shopping in Manhattan or Monmouth County, N.J., the warm shores of Palm Beach, Fla., or the cold rocky coast of Seaside, Ore., if you're buying, you'll find a real estate deal.
However, it's not enough just to buy a house in a favorable Zip code. Such simplicity may have been fine when sellers had the advantage and could take their time contemplating all of the bids once their properties hit the multiple listing service. Now buyers have the position of strength, which means you can usually afford to take some time to think through your options on a house before signing any deal.
One of the key elements outside of whether the house and the land it sits on are right for you is the neighborhood. You and your family may love the home with its large bedrooms, plentiful storage and park-like vacant land outside your back fence. But when property values go up again, will the owner of that vacant property be inclined to build a condo overlooking your property?
Here are five last-minute considerations before signing that sales agreement.Walk the Walk: Take a walk around the neighborhood, at two or three different times of day and do so on both a weekday and a weekend. Are people tending to gardens? Are children playing outside? Are neighbors chatting with each other? Those are all good signs. Are people working on cars parked on the lawn? Do a group of tough-looking kids eye you suspiciously? Is someone's stereo up loud enough for everyone on the street to enjoy? Not so good.

Go straight to cutoffs without waiting for the jeans' knees to blow out.
It's hard for a young fashionista to expand her cutoffs collection when she's growing out of her jeans faster than she wears them out; cut straight to the chase with the O'Neill Girls' Lake Short. A touch of elastane in the cotton denim gives the short the same soft, stretchy, broken-in feel of the real deal, while the raw edge of the rolled cuff endows the Lake Short with that coveted cutoff look.

Wanting to Teach
I discovered my passion for teaching mathematics while I was homeschooling my children. Once they graduated from high school, I set out to acquire a formal education at the university so that I could continue teaching. The more I learned, the more I hungered to learn. Many doors were opened to me in the nine years I was at the university. I was able to conduct research with several wonderful teachers. That was where I stumbled upon my passions for technology and writing.
After earning two degrees in mathematics and a doctorate in curriculum and instruction, I am completely lost in my search for how to use my skills. I would desperately love to teach women who share my hunger for learning.

U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan will be in Charlotte on Wednesday morning to participate in a roundtable discussion with four college leaders on the topic of education affordability.
The program will be at UNC Charlotte's Center City Campus. Joining Hagan will be UNCC Chancellor Phillip Dubois and presidents Ronald Carter of Johnson C. Smith University, Pamela Davies of Queens University of Charlotte, and Tony Zeiss of CPCC.
The program comes a week after Hagan introduced a Senate bill aimed at keeping low interest rates on federal Stafford loans. Many college students have taken out Stafford loans, but without congressional action, the interest rate on those loans climbed Monday from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. Hagan's bill would maintain the 3.4 percent rate.

USAT's Bianco On 'Today:' "They Seem To Be Back On Their Game"
In USA Today, Robert Bianco raves about Today's Olympic coverage and says "there's no doubt that the morning gold standard is still set by NBC's Today trio: Katie Couric, Matt Lauer and Al Roker."
He writes: "Would the show stay the same with another anchor in Couric's place? Perhaps. But before the Katie-haters start campaigning, remember that she's the driving force at Today. She does the heavy lifting, which is what allows Lauer and Roker to seem lighter and more relaxed."
Together, they seem to be back on their game, and that accomplishment should not be easily dismissed. Wednesday, Lauer thanked medal-contending skater Johnny Weir for stopping by in the middle of the competition, a distraction athletes usually avoid. 'It's really an honor to be on the Today show,' Weir answered.
There are people who should keep that in mind."

Cai, Di and Wade, Steve (2012) A Rule-Based Method for Outlying Rating Detection. International Journal of Computer and Communication Engineering, 1 (4). pp. 466-471. ISSN 2010-3743
|PDF - Published Version
Restricted to Registered users only
Download (1338kB)
Detection of outlying ratings of samples is a primary step in statistical analysis and classification. A novel rule-based method is presented for automatically detecting and removing outlying ratings in order to improve the quality of sample classification and to increase the degree of agreement between raters. The effectiveness of our method in improving the degree of agreement, assessed using a modified Fleiss' kappa, is demonstrated through a practical example. Our method is conceptually transparent, computationally simple and easy to apply in practice. It is expected to be a useful tool in many real world applications.

Home Flippers Are Back, But Sticking to the High End
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The mortgage market is starting to see a resurgence in home "flips" - residential properties that are bought and sold within a six-month period with the intent to make a big profit on short-term turnaround.
Home-flippers thrived in the 1990s and the first half of the 2000s as home prices rose significantly thanks to a booming economy, a roaring housing market and an easy-money mortgage lending environment.
But the Great Recession and the subsequent housing collapse put a stop to that. With home prices sliding in 2007 and 2008, the flippers were caught in a bind, many of them left holding the mortgage to multiple properties just as housing prices plummeted.
That's why so many home foreclosures over the past five years were due not to bread-and-butter homeowners, but to home-flippers.In fact, some industry experts blame the housing market crisis on home-flippers and not on big banks, loose lenders or in-over-their-head long-term homeowners. The Role of House Flippers In a Boom and Bust Real Estate Market:
The bust in the housing market originates from the subprime loan crisis in 2007 -- a crisis that turned into a worldwide financial catastrophe. The subprime crisis is often blamed on those individuals who purchased homes despite their inability to sustain monthly mortgage payments. However, the real culprit in the crisis may be house flippers who aided artificially inflating home prices, which eventually hurt subprime borrowers; that is, subprime borrowers were, conceivably, lured into purchasing an unaffordable home because they paid an inflated price.Despite the role that home flippers may have played in the housing market meltdown, the quick-flip mindset has been on the rise again -- especially on high-end homes valued at more than $750,000.

Killing Has Taken Its Toll: Abortion's Slippery Slope Has Turned Into Euthanasia
Video Shows Santa Claus Passing Out Condoms at Health Clinic
by Steven Ertelt | Bronx, NY | LifeNews.com | 12/19/12 7:51 PM
A local health clinic in the Bronx is coming under criticism for a promotional video that shows Santa Claus handing out drug paraphernalia and condoms.
The video promotes "CitiWide Harm Reduction," a needle exchange program in the Bronx sponsored by Citiwide, founded in 1995 in a Church basement of a liberal church.
"No assumptions should be made regarding video participants' HIV status or medical condition. No public funds were used to produce this video," the group says.
The video, which was spotlighted on the Drudge Report, appears below:

The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith (eBook)
The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith (eBook)
The Booker Prize-winning author of Oscar and Lucinda and The Tax Inspector now gives readers a hero, the malformed but ferociously wilful Tristan Smith, who becomes the object of the world's byzantine political intrigues, even as he attains stardom in a bizarre Sirkus that is part passion play and part Mortal Kombat.
From the Hardcover edition.
Praise for The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith…
"Irresistible...intimate and theatrical...supple and surprising.... We're in the hands of a master storyteller." —Carol Shields, author of The Stone Diaries
"Carey has vaulted to the top ranks of writers in the English-speaking world.... Tristan has an appeal that transcends geography." —Newsday
"Carey's always magical, absolutely lovable narrative voice makes The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith an important contribution to contemporary fiction.... No matter what he decides to write or how he decides to write it, it's a priviledge to read him." —Carolyn See, Washington Post Book World
"Savage and hilarious...dazzling." —The New York Review of Books
