You might remember, about this time last year, gawking at the mesmerizing Troika illuminated signage erected in the V&A museum's tunnel entrance.
Well this year, Dutch electronics giant Philips have added to the lighting display with an interactive installation in the same tunnel—and another hidden away in one of the lesser know gallery spaces of the vast Victorian edifice.
"Walk The Light," a collaboration with Domonic Harris and his Cinimod studio, illuminates unwitting V&A visitors with a trail of bright white light and a spectrum of colour that transitions from a cool blue to a intense red as they approach the museums door.
The effects were, of course, absolutely top notch, but, we're sorry to report, this particular installation disappointed quite significantly by being entirely baffled by the almost constant stream of visitors passing in both directions through the space.
"Ice Angel," also the creation of Dominic Harris, in a much quieter gallery space, was fortunately much more succesful— the interactive led display transforming anyone waving their arms in front of it into a glowing angel. We're delighted to bring you this fabulous demonstration courtesy of a kind, if slightly confused, Spanish-speaking V&A visitor.

....goalkeepers and borrowed a defender.
Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz is an experienced 29-year-old goalkeeper who joined United in August 2013 having been released by Sky Bet League Two side AFC Wimbledon.
He started his senior career at Olimpia Gherla and had spells at CFR Cluj, FC Ariesul Turda and Barnet before joining Northwood in 2007. He soon moved to Aldershot Town in 2007, spending three years with The Shots.
He returned to his native Venezuela in 2010 where he joined Yaracuyanos FC before re-joining Aldershot Town in February 2011.
He then joined Dover Athletic in August 2011 before being signed by AFC Wimbledon a year later.
Having made just two appearances for the Dons, he left the club in June 2013.
James Warrington joins United having scooped three awards, including players' player and supporters' player of the season at Calor League Southern Division One Central side Slough Town last season.
He joined the Rebels from Walton Casuals having had trials with both Fulham and Crystal Palace while playing for them.
Meanwhile, Hayes & Yeading have taken Cypriot-born defender Anthony Furlonge (pictured) on six-month`s loan from Sky Bet League One side Stevenage FC Furlonge joined Boro in April 2012, signing professional terms with the Hertfordshire club having previously been on a youth deal at Southend United.
Furlonge emerged through the ranks at Millwall and Arsenal before moving onto Roots Hall, where he featured in the Shrimpers reserve team and also spent some time at Thurrock.
It had also been reported that the player was being eyed up by Premier League side Fulham, although no move came about.
A natural right-back, although equally at home in the centre of defence, Furlonge had been offered a professional deal by Southend. However, it was withdrawn by the Essex club and it was Stevenage who were to benefit from that decision.

Men Behind The Success of Nokia, Apple and Motorola
One of the things you rarely notice with common everyday appliances is how good they look at and how comfortable they are to use. However, if the device is ugly or uncomfortable it is noticed within seconds. The difference between good and bad experience is usually because of world class industrial designer - they imagine and render complex and geeky pieces of plastic to simple and fun to use/watch widgets. So, who are the real people behind the success of names like Nokia, Apple or Motorola and what are they like (links with names point to interesting interviews).
Frank Nuovo was the vice president and chief designer at Nokia for more than a decade. For many, he is the man responsible of Nokia's success story. Nuovo left his post at Nokia this month, and it is interesting to see how his follower Alastair Curtis manages and what Nuovo will do next. At least Nokia is doing some heavy re-design with their design branch.
Jonathan Ive is the man behind iMac and many other Apple Inventions including iPod. The man who reinvented Apple is a title any designer would be more than proud off. The big question of course is how long Ive continues with Apple and could Apple survice the second time?
Jim Wicks is the man responsible of Motorola's new slim design, including smash hit RAZR (razor) phone.
Forbes magazine has also a very nice list of top 10 industrial designers in 2005. What combines all these people is passionate love towards their work and incredible innovative talent - something that has made great designers like Carl Faberge to remain in the books of history.

The smell is more akin to rotting meat. However, this depends on which species of voodoo lily, your sense of smell, if it is being grown indoors or out (outdoors is recommended), & other little factors. I own 3 varieties. Mine are not so bad. You have to stick your nose directly in them & take a deep breath to know what they smell like. |

All breathing in heaven — Gracia Haby, Louise Jennison, Stephen Wickham
17 August 2013 to 13 October 2013
Geelong region artists program.
Bringing together collage, drawing and photography, this exhibition reveals the artists' shared interest in the intersection between the animal and human worlds. Combining humour with acute observations of both wild and domestic animals, the works present imaginary worlds, highlight the plight of endangered species, or pay homage to relationships with domesticated animals. The use of early 20th century postcards of Geelong, drawings of the region's Hooded Plover birds and imagery of the Barwon wetlands adds a distinctly regional focus.

Cleveland Magazine released its annual Rating the Suburbs issue. Find out how Cleveland Heights compared to the 76 other communities on the list.
Cleveland Magazine may not have ranked Cleveland Heights as one of its top 20 cities in the annual "Rating the Suburbs" issue, but the community did top the charts in some categories.
Cleveland Heights provides the most services of any of the 77 suburbs ranked in the list at 15.
Let me get this straight. CH has 109 police officers – more than any other suburb – but ranked 63 out of 77 in safety? What's wrong with that picture?
It also disturbed me. But the way that Cleveland magazine reports crime says little about the type of crimes. Perhaps neighborhoods with a lot of shopping, malls end up having lots of petty theft and that is why Beachwood for example, also has a very high incidence of crimes.
Is this Local Jewish News or Local Cleveland Heights Jewish News? Noticed Beachwood (also a Jewish area) actually made the list and didn't get its own post here.
Dear "Someone," Akiva linked to a post on CH Patch and you really think he should have posted a separate link to the Beachwood Patch, both telling readers about the exact same "rating the burbs" article? Why? And P.S. I'm a personal friend of Akiva and maybe you don't realize how much time goes into running this site. He does it as a community service. Advertising revenues don't come anywhere near compensating him for his work. Thank you Akiva for creating a site which allows people to know what's going on in the frum community. We really appreciate all your hard work!
This rating has Cleveland Heights rated (63 out of 77) with less crime than Beachwood (64 out of 77) or University Heights (67 out of 77). Especially considering that Cleveland Heights borders East Cleveland and the city of Cleveland clearly demonstrates that Cleveland Heights is a safe community (cheers to the CH Police). As a former Beachwood resident and current Cleveland Heights resident, I have always felt safe in both cities.
Thanks loyal Beachwood resident. There is no article online summarizing the results for Beachwood. Not Bwood Patch nor Cleveland Magazine. Cleveland Mag wants you to buy the issue so there is no online content really.
I wasn't suggesting an outside article on Beachwood, but a hat tip to a Jewish area that did make it on the list would have been nice. Nearly all of the city based news on here is about Cleveland Heights. I have no doubt that Akiva puts a lot of effort into this and "hakaras hatov" my comment said nothing going against that. I wasn't aware that I wasn't allowed to voice my opinion on how this site might be more non-Cleveland Heights resident friendly.

(1) The unexpended proceeds from the sale of World War II veterans' bonus bonds may by appropriate legislation be applied to pay bonuses for veterans of the Korean War.
(2) The balance of the bonds previously authorized but not yet sold may be issued and the proceeds applied to a bonus for veterans of the Korean War.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
December 31, 1954
Honorable Neil J. HoffState Senator, 27th DistrictRust BuildingTacoma, Washington Cite as: AGO 53-55 No. 375
Dear Sir:
We have your request for an opinion in which you ask us to consider the following questions:
(1) Could the unexpended proceeds from the sale of World War II veterans' bonus bonds be applied to pay bonuses to veterans of the Korean War, if such bonuses were authorized by statute?
(2) Could the balance of the bonds previously authorized, but not yet sold, be issued and the proceeds applied to a bonus for veterans of the Korean War?
In our opinion both questions may be answered in the affirmative.
Chapter 73.32 RCW, as derived from chapter 180, Laws of 1949, provides for [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] payment of a bonus for veterans of this state who were in the regular military service between December 7, 1941 and September 2, 1945. The act further provides for the issuance of limited obligation bonds by the state under the general supervision and control of the State Finance Committee, in the sum of eighty million dollars. The money arising from the sale of such bonds is required by the act to be deposited in a special fund designated as the War Veterans' Compensation Fund.
To finance this bond issue the legislature provided in the same act that all revenue derived from the excise tax on cigarettes be deposited in a special trust fund. This fund is entitled "The War Veterans' Compensation Bond Retirement Fund" and is to be available solely for the payment of principal and interest on these particular bonds. InGruen v. State Tax Commission, 35 Wn. (2d) 1, the Supreme Court held the bonus act to be constitutional.
We are advised that seventy-five million dollars worth of the bonds have been issued. There is a cash balance in the War Veterans' Compensation Fund of approximately eight million dollars. If the balance of the authorized bonds were issued, the total in this fund would amount to approximately thirteen million dollars.
One of the conditions of the bonds heretofore issued is that all of the state revenues derived from the excise tax on cigarettes are pledged for the retirement of the principal and interest on these bonds. The only exception to this is a provision in the bonds that revenues paid into the bond retirement fund in excess of four million, five hundred thousand dollars in any one year shall be transferred to the General Fund. None of the monies deposited in the bond retirement fund may be diverted to any other purpose than authorized by the statutes making the appropriation in 1949. To attempt this by subsequent legislation would offend the prohibition contained in Article 1, § 23 of the state constitution relating to laws impairing the obligation of contracts.
We find no constitutional obstacle to expanding, by appropriate legislation, the scope of eligibility for compensation from the War Veterans' Compensation Fund. Indeed, on three occasions since 1949 the legislature has done just that. In 1950 the class of dependents of deceased veterans who could qualify for [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] compensation was enlarged; in 1951 a class of persons who had served in noncombat duty by reason of religious scruples was made eligible; and in 1953 the legislature provided machinery for payment to guardians of mentally incompetent veterans who had been unable to make application under the terms of the original act.
It is our opinion that both the unexpended proceeds from the sale of World War II veterans' bonus bonds and the proceeds of the sale of bonds heretofore authorized but not yet issued may, by appropriate legislation, be made available for the purpose of providing a bonus to the veterans of the Korean War.
Very truly yours,
DON EASTVOLDAttorney General
ANDY ENGEBRETSENAssistant Attorney General

(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - One man is in custody following a police standoff in Grand Rapids early this morning. Shortly after 5 this morning, deputies were called to a possible domestic assault on Francis Avenue and Withey Street. Police were able to get a woman and her children out of the home not long after they arrive, but the man stayed inside, initiating a standoff with police. Negotiating stopped just after 8 this morning. Officers brought an adult male from the home in cuffs. A little boy was also taken out after the home at that time.

We are all a little vulnerable right after the holidays. After so much good cheer, our defenses may be down a little, especially if we have been unemployed for a while. All of a sudden, some of those spam e-mails offering "The Greatest Homebased Business...Ever" or "Raise Chinchillas in Your Backyard for Big $$$$" start to look just a wee bit attractive.
Many of these "come on" offers are actually quite legal. They are known to lawyers as "Business Opportunities" (note the capital letters). A Business Opportunity is like a franchise, except that you don't operate under someone else's registered trademark that has a recognized value in the marketplace. Common examples of Business Opportunities are:
- "Distributor" deals in which you help the seller find local buyers for their merchandise, or you find locations for the use or operation of vending machines, racks, display cases, other similar devices or currency-operated machines for the seller's merchandise on premises that neither you nor the seller owns or leases.
- "Supply" deals in which the seller agrees to buy any products you make, produce, fabricate, grow, breed or modify using the stuff that the seller sold you (remember those chinchillas?).
Just because they're legal doesn't mean that Business Opportunities are always good deals. As with a franchise, the burden is on you to research a Business Opportunity and make sure it's on the level. Many states require Business Opportunities, as well as franchises, to register with a state government agency (usually the state's Bureau of Securities or Attorney General's office) before they may legally offer their program to state residents. Call or e-mail the appropriate agency and find out if the Business Opportunity that interests you is registered.
Then ask the Business Opportunity to furnish a list of people in your area who have bought into the program, with home addresses and telephone numbers. Get into your car, visit each one of them in person, and view their operation with your own eyeballs. Do not just call or e-mail them--many unscrupulous Business Opportunity promoters have "boiler rooms" of people sitting in cubicles pretending to be satisfied customers. Some even encourage these employees to bring their kids to work so that it sounds as if they are working from home!

Guidelines for Disease Management
NCCHC's guidelines help correctional health professionals to effectively manage diseases commonly found in jails, prisons and juvenile confinement facilities.
The guidelines are adapted for the correctional setting from nationally accepted clinical guidelines issued by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health; the American Diabetes Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. However, they are meant to supplement — not replace — these clinical guidelines. Each guideline provides a list of recommended resources to support evidence-based practice and quality improvement.
The NCCHC guidelines encourage total disease management, which requires clear indicators of the degree of control of the patient's disease and the more subtle distinction as to whether the condition is stable, improving or deteriorating. With a focus on the challenges and special considerations inherent in correctional settings, they are designed to help health care providers improve patient outcomes. However, the guidelines cannot and do not substitute for clinical professional judgment based on a patient's presentation.
The guidelines are reviewed periodically and revised as necessary. The latest review occurred in Oct. 2014. For useful guidelines from other organizations, visit the Other Resources page.
The NCCHC guidelines were born of a study on the health needs of soon-to-be-released inmates, which was released to Congress in 2002. In a cooperative agreement with the National Institute of Justice, NCCHC reviewed national clinical guidelines and found that none addressed the unique challenges of providing care in correctional settings. To remedy this, NCCHC established a panel of experts to review existing guidelines, evidence-based medical practices and other reference materials, and adapt the materials for use by correctional health professionals.

1. Inside Qatar: The terrorists' benefactor and America's friend
As the war in Gaza continues, we keep hearing that one pipeline for negotiations with Hamas goes through Qatar, the tiny, oil-rich kingdom in the Gulf that has friendly relations with Hamas. In fact, Qatar hosts the leaders of Hamas and provides financial support.
According to the online Times of Israel, "Qatar continues to fund the movement's terror apparatus abroad, enabling tunnel digging and rocket launching."
Yet, though the United States, like Israel, has branded Hamas a terrorist group (and over the weekend stepped up its criticism of the Qataris' support of Hamas) Washington has friendly relations with Qatar. The bond is so tight that the largest U.S. military base in the region is there.
It's through Qatar that the United States negotiated with the Taliban for the freedom of Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. Qatar was the go-between for the release of five high-value Taliban officers, who were being held captive at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for Bergdahl.
The freed Taliban fighters are now living in, yes, Qatar, where the Taliban's leaders maintain an office and homes under Qatari protection.
We also know that Qatar has the highest per capita wealth of any country in the world, and it owns and finances Al Jazeera.
All of which should make us want to know a lot more.
What are the dynamics of the U.S. relationship with Qatar? How does that square with President George W. Bush's famous proclamation in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks — that countries which support or harbor terrorists will be treated like terrorists?
How does the Obama administration calibrate the value of having a pipeline to our enemies, not to mention a huge military installation in the middle of the world's prime hotspot, against the inconsistency of maintaining such a friendly relationship with our enemies' benefactors?
Why do the Qataris support these Islamic groups? Is it a way to buy peace and protection from them — at the same time that allowing the giant U.S. military presence hedges that bet?
Do we try to exert pressure on them to cut off financing to our enemies, or do we look the other way?
Susan Ziadeh, a career Foreign Service officer, is U.S. ambassador to Qatar. It would be great to see a profile of her and, better yet, get an on-the-ground account of how she navigates all these issues.
Is she involved in the Hamas negotiations? Does she ever deal directly, or even sit in the same room, with people from Hamas or the Taliban?
How does the Qatari legal system work?
Wikepedia says it "is a mixture of civil law and Islamic law. Shari'a (Islamic law) is one of the sources of Qatari legislation, and is applied to aspects of family law, inheritance and certain criminal acts."
Is that true? What does that mean in practice?
This report in the New York Times last week about an American couple being held in the country on charges of endangering their child raises all kinds of questions about justice in Qatar.
More generally, what's life like for the average citizen in the world's richest country?
Which Western companies have major business interests there? How do they assess the risk that their governments might ultimately have to get tougher with their hosts?
Qatar's intriguing and increasingly outsized role in the world begs for what would be all kinds of fascinating coverage.
2. Going deeper into the pivotal Senate elections:
Punditry abounds around the one or two dozen (depending on the pundit) critical elections that will determine whether the Republicans capture control of the Senate this November. Some reporting has provided smart analysis of which races appear likely to turn one way or the other, providing win-loss combinations that lead or do not lead to a GOP takeover.
What we're still not seeing enough of, however, is reporting that does more than recap the latest polls and describe the candidates' most recent attack ads. By now, I would have expected to see some great pieces from journalists on the ground, telling us not just what the voters in Alaska or North Carolina are seeing on television and hearing from the candidates but also what they are thinking and how they're reacting.
We know that many Democrats are trying to distance themselves from their unpopular president. Is it working? How much do voters care if a candidate they voted for in past, such as Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.), is in the same party as President Barack Obama?

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.

Clear Shift in International Power towards Iran (Note of the Day)
Tomorrow is the historic day of 13 Aban (4 November) and it is expected to
come with more passion and excitement this year because these days the
battle between the truth and the false has reached sensitive points. Iran
and America are the two main keys to 13 Aban and today both of them are
seen in some way on the scene of the battle that has been launched in the
world stretching from Kabul to Washington. However one is in the role of
the attacker and is advancing and the other is the role of the criminal
and is being defeated. Yet at its historic origin - 47 years ago -- 13
Aban had another image. At that time one was the vict im and the other was
the attacker and there was nothing other than this even in the outlook.
On 13 Aban 1343 (4 November 1964) His Holiness Imam Khomeini - pbuh - had
been exiled to Turkey to remove another obstacle to the capitulation so
America's dominion of all Iran's affairs would be without any resistance.
On 13 Aban 1357 (4 November 1978), to suppress high school and university
students America took command of the shah's army thinking it could prevent
the Imam's return and maintain the capitulation, but this time America's
plan did not progress.
Several weeks later the retreat of America's forces from Iran began and
100 days later there was no longer any sign of America in Iran. On 13 Aban
1358 the Students Following the Imam's Line - in reality the nation of
Iran - pursued America inside its home. The occupation of the American spy
embassy in Tehran dealt a fatal blow to America's international
credibility and on this account five years later the Ameri cans were also
obliged to leave Lebanon completely. These days there is talk of America's
complete military withdrawal from Iraq, and Obama is stating clearly we
will also be leaving Afghanistan soon.
Everyone knows America will soon be leaving the Persian Gulf, the Indian
Ocean, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean because the same reasons that
persuaded America to leave Lebanon and Iraq also exist in these sensitive
Based on America's own official estimates the day when the Islamic
revolution was victorious in Iran, in the nations in the region the
American government had a 53- to 80-percent popularity rating but this
popularity quickly became contempt to the point where - for example - 90
percent of the people of Saudi Arabia and 99 percent of the people of
Yemen despised America and all this is at a time when the contempt of the
people of Iraq for America is 85 percent.
It is completely obvious that America's complete military withdrawal fro m
the region is close at hand while America's foreign policy - especially in
the Middle East region - is formed by militarism. Having said this, at the
same time even as America knows military withdrawal will completely
eliminate its influence in the region, it will be obliged to accept it.
However at the same time the special American spirit which is mixed with
fantasy as well as the naivete for which the Americans are known sometimes
appears as a strange concoction of dissimilar elements.
For example while the Americans acknowledge they have lost their sensitive
positions in Southwest Asia and North Africa because of Iran's staunch
resistance, they think they can use the circumstances arising from the
Arab revolutions to put their foreign policies in order, and on this
account when they confront the media they express satisfaction with the
developments. Of course the stupidity and delusion of this position is
entirely clear to the audience.
When in T unisia 34 percent of the chairs went to the Islamists and the
people leaning towards the West only got 12 percent of the seats, it is
clear who will control this nation's future. When the West's candidate for
prime minister in Libya - Mahmoud Gebril - lost hope of obtaining even a
single ministerial post after months of effort, it is clear what group
will control Libya's future.
These days the Americans and the Europeans with much propaganda on the one
hand are claiming the victory in Libya and that they have the first role
in the fall of the Qadhafi regime but on the other hand they are talking
about sending economic delegations to Tripoli to sign new contracts, but
both these claims are lies, fantasy and naivete.
If the West has the first word in the fall of the former regime why is it
that on the ground in Libya - with the exception of the destruction from
air operations - there are no evident signs of the West's forces, and why
were they unable to impose o n the people the government of the candidate
they favored?
There is no sign of a new economic treaty either because economic
relations are established after political relations and the political
relationship requires the installation of a lawful government with the
necessary prerogatives in Tripoli; it will take more time to do that. Of
course the West has a place in Libya's economic future because in any case
Libya needs to sell its oil to international markets and Europe is the
closest energy market to Libya.
However first these contracts are not new and they existed in the Qadhafi
era and second they are achieved in a special economic framework, part of
which is Tripoli's agreement, just as such agreements also exist in other
nations. These days the Americans, who have a great need for morale, are
consoling themselves by foregrounding certain issues.
In the confrontation with Iran America has adopted the same method. While
in the last 30 years the Americans have suffered big defeats at the hands
of the Iranians on tens of scenes, they pretend they are defeating Iran.
America pretends it has found the secret of Iran's power, has succeeded in
nullifying it and is in the process of destroying the secret of Iran's
power with its partners.
Washington presents the Qods Brigade as the secret of Iran's power, then
gives it a military face and in the third step it pretends it has
documents that show a secret relationship between this brigade and a
disreputable Mexican Mafia-like drugs and arms smuggling gang - Los Zetas
- and in the third step (as published) it pretends it is defeating it. Yet
the 33 years of America's defeat by Iran is related to the resistance of
its people and leader and not the Qods Brigade, although the Qods Brigade
plays its own special role as a part of the people and a body that follows
the leader.
America pretends Iran's authority is summarized in military power even
though it knows an d has acknowledged repeatedly that the Islamic Republic
of Iran has not fired a single round in Iraq or brought even one bullet
into Iraq. Iran's art in the Iraq episode was that unlike America which
wanted to dominate Iraq for decades, Iran made the people of Iraq govern
their own destiny, or in other words it made the will of the Iraqis
predominate over America's will, and it obliged America to leave Iraq.
It was the same way in Lebanon as well. Iran did not fire even a single
bullet in Lebanon but it helped the people of Lebanon to rule their own
destiny; they expelled from their nation thousands of American and French
marines and then completely restored Lebanon's independence. Today it has
been 27 years since America and France fled the land and waters of Lebanon
but the vast intelligence organizations of these two nations have been
unable to find a single document about Iran's intervention in Lebanon.
After 32 years America claims that the Qods Brigade - in the words of
America's military and political officials - expelled them from Iraq
without firing a single bullet, that it has put hundreds of billions of
dollars of America's expenditures into Iran's pocket, that it has given
special help bringing stable government to power - in a nation with
differing religions and races -- that it has brought this nation out from
under American domination and that it has gone to an alcoholic authority
thr ough which it has established a relationship with one of the most
disreputable Mafia-like gangs, do to what? To assassinate in America's
capital an ambassador - who is easily accessible -- and this was when
100000 Iranian pilgrims were about to go to Saudi Arabia. Then it pretends
it has obtained tens of documents about this including a telephone call
from Tehran to America which it has given to the capitals of the nations
of the world. Now when Iran has asked about this in any capital they have
said no documents have been given to them.
In fact the zeal of the Americans on the eve of America's greatest
historic fiasco - the military exit from Iraq after thousands of people
were killed and hundreds of billions of dollars were spent - has persuaded
them to go after the stupidity and naivete of the people of America, but
it is interesting that this episode was too stupid to even influence such
people. This is indicated by the opposition to this scenario by the
Republican Party and the expression of serious doubt about it by media
such as the CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Iran's power is a fact not a fantasy. It is not an exaggeration of a small
reality. At the same time America's defeat in the occupation of
Afghanistan and Iraq, the West's defeat in the attack on Libya, the
Zionist regime's defeat by the Hizballah and Lebanon's resistance are also
facts and not fantasy or exaggeration.
On the day when the last American soldier leaves Iraq Iran has a right to
hol d a celebration just as big as the one for the day when the Pahlavi
regime fell in Iran, to be proud of its soft power in providing the
Islamic teachings that led to the defeat of America's biggest military
project in the last 70 years and to display its extraordinary power.
From the depths of its being America believes such a celebration is worthy
of Iran and the regional forces aligned with it but to keep it from being
seen it has begun speaking through the wide mouth of a horn. From a bitter
day, 13 Aban has been made into a sweet day and every year it finds new
This year 13 Aban has become tied to a regional revolution and has also
taken on international dimensions. If one day American agents fired on
high school youth and university students in front of Tehran University,
today at the focal point of their power - Wall Street - they are seeing
the staunch resistance of university and high school students.
Now not only is there no sign of lackeys like the shah, Mubarak and Ben
Ali for service to America, they also have a security gap in the internal
realm. The day 13 Aban has changed the world's equations.

Taste in hairstyle undoubtedly changes as people get older. Some folks settle into a single look upon adulthood, while others revamp their looks every few years, like a traveling Madonna impersonator. But one thing is universally true: we all liked some freaky hair styles as kids.
Blonde Cornrows: They're what happens when you can't choose between Ludacris and Zack Morris as your childhood idol.
Bowl Cuts: Unfortunately, just don't age well, despite their geometric innovation. Even Tom Brady, at the height of his power, couldn't pull one off.
Frosted Tips: A technique that works much better on Wheaties than it does on humans.
The JTT: A swooping-bangs hairstyle that can only be worn by Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Justin Bieber will probably try to pull off the JTT in the next few years, but will he have the courage and patience to make it stick?
Hair Beads: Has anyone ever looked happier than the girls in the hair beads infomercials? They look like someone just told them that school is cancelled forever and Selena Gomez wants to be their new best friend. Just don't let their happiness trick you into wearing hair beads to a job interview. You'll turn around too fast and accidentally blind your potential employer with a whip of the hair. Awkward.
Ramen Noodle Hair: Justin Timberlake set a dangerous precedent for curly-haired boys everywhere with this look. On a related note, why is it so much less creepy when Justin Timberlake carries around a puppet of himself everywhere?
Pigtails: Damn you, Britney, for making us all think we could pull pigtails off.
Mall Bangs: A golden age of teen movies in the late '80s and early '90s brought true glory to mall bangs. Even today, your mind may say no to mall bangs, but your heart says yes.
The Mullet: When we were growing up, there were mullets everywhere, and adults simply didn't do a very good job of warning us about them. In the early years of Full House, Uncle Jesse tricked millions of kids into thinking that women will love you if you grow a mullet, play the guitar, and develop an Elvis fetish. Dangerous stuff.
The Gel Flip: New proposal: Males shouldn't be allowed to buy hair gel until they turn 18. Hair gel is far too potent of a product for 12-year-old boys to handle, and the end result is usually a crusty, over-gelled hair flip. Before you know it, they're hooked on hair gel, and it becomes all they know. It's time for us to break the cycle.

Does anyone have any idea what animal would make a hole like this? We currently have 5-10 in the front yard and new ones are appearing every day. In the backyard there's another 5-10. They seem to be fairly clustered together. Strangely, some are close to the concrete pathway to the house in the front yard and in the backyard there's a couple close to the the concrete slab foundation for the lanai. They don't seem to be very deep, maybe 12-18 inches at most and widest would be 6 inches across. I've seen possums around but not digging, so I'm wondering what else we might be sharing land with. We're in the suburbs of Sarasota, if that helps. Thanks for any ideas! |

Since you've seen possums, then I'm going to guess, Possums! Could also be skunks. Have you seen skunks? Or raccoons. They are digging for grubs. |

Now that green design and LEED certification are household terms, architects and interior designers are, by necessity, more fluent than ever in sustainable design strategies. But how well are we walking the talk? Firms of all sizes increasingly are putting their businesses under the microscope and asking how they can do more to align their practices with their design principles. While firms entering this new territory of greening their practices can choose a variety of paths, some helpful guidelines are emerging.
Thanks to municipal programs and simple pragmatism, basic practices such as recycling and the use of energy-efficient lighting are second nature for most businesses. Many firms go a few steps further, replacing paper cups with mugs, purchasing environmentally friendly office supplies, and allowing for telecommuting. But realizing meaningful reductions in a business' carbon footprint requires a deeper commitment and, often, outside assistance. If there is one point to make about greening your practice, however, it is that the benefits for your business—in terms of office morale, cost savings, and marketing—will clearly outweigh the investment.
Aiming Lower and Lower
Documenting a business' practices is essential for setting goals and assessing progress, and while free online tools exist, third-party programs can save time and give added credibility. Programs vary from a checklist of green practices to detailed analysis, both audited and not, and many include industry benchmarking that recognizes, for example, the differing water demands of hotels and offices. In addition to considering program costs, which range from none to thousands of dollars, we were interested in obtaining solid data about our emissions since our goal was to be carbon balanced. We chose to work with Climate Smart, a Vancouver, Canada–based company that helps businesses monitor, reduce and offset their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
As a close-knit, medium-sized firm, we already had a range of sustainable business practices in place, including making notebooks from used paper, providing bicycle facilities, holding family-style office lunches (to reduce packaging waste), and Web conferencing (to reduce meeting travel). We also own our LEED Silver–certified historic office building, which gave us much broader control over building operations.
Climate Smart's training and Web-based tools helped us document and calculate our GHG emissions for 2009 and to identify strategies for further reducing our carbon footprint. Not surprisingly, we found that business travel, though mostly limited to the West Coast region, comprised more than half of our emissions. We achieved carbon-balanced status by purchasing carbon offsets through San Francisco-based TerraPass, but we clearly had room for improvement. We saw this challenge as an opportunity to engage the entire office and to further cultivate the leadership of the younger staff members who had guided the initiative from the outset.
Our sustainable design team mapped out a year-long action plan that included encouraging car-free commuting, composting, implementing sustainable purchasing practices, and further reducing our use of energy, water, office supplies and air travel. Of course, there have been some bumps in the road—for example, convincing architects to replace their preferred pens with a refillable alternative or weighing the environmental costs of tablet readers, a quickly outdated device, against printing on recycled paper. But when we recalculate our annual GHG emissions this summer, we expect to see improved performance—requiring fewer carbon offsets—that will inform our goals for the coming year.
Positive Peer Pressure
For Cambridge, Mass.-based Tsoi/Kobus & Associates (TK&A), joining the Challenge for Sustainability—a green business initiative sponsored by local nonprofit A Better City—opened up a new network of like-minded businesses. The Challenge uses similar tools to reduce their members' carbon footprints, but rather than certification, staff work with businesses to set annual goals for improvement. More uniquely, the Challenge hosts regular programs that provide a forum for networking and discussion, as well as an opportunity to learn how different industries are adapting.
Blake Jackson, TK&A's sustainability practice leader, hopes that this knowledge sharing will help to address the added hurdles faced by businesses in leased offices. Tenants can have limited control over cleaning, waste removal, water, and other services managed by the landlord, yet most green business programs factor these practices.
Getting Started
The apples-and-oranges nature of green business certification programs eventually may drive demand for some industry standards. Until then, some simple guidelines will help firms get started:
• Lead by supporting leaders within. Cultivating a green business culture requires a team of smart, enthusiastic individuals and clear support from senior principals. Firms with multiple offices should establish teams in every office—and encourage some friendly competition.
• Find a good fit. Choose a program that fits your goals, resources, and culture. In some cases, beginning informally can help build a crucial base of support for more ambitious initiatives.
• Take a long view. Establishing achievable goals each year will help ensure your success over time.
• Celebrate. Greening your practice truly involves every staff member. Take time to recognize your collective achievements.

Thursday, July 6, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM South Park Bridge on its last legsSeattle Times staff reporter Part of the South Park Bridge is slowly moving up the Duwamish River. The other part is moving downstream. The massive concrete piers supporting the bridge rest on wooden pilings too short to reach solid soil. Even the concrete is disintegrating. One of these days, the 75-year-old drawbridge that carries 20,000 trucks and cars across this industrial waterway will simply stop working. This bridge, engineering studies show, is in worse shape than the Alaskan Way Viaduct. "Every time it goes up, I listen: Is it going to make it?" says Tim McNeil, a South Park resident who became convinced of the need for a new bridge after joining a citizens' advisory group. But the bridge's owner, King County, doesn't have the $90 million-plus necessary to replace it. Now the bridge could prove a deal breaker in talks over Seattle and Burien annexing 32,000 county residents into their cities. Unless the bridge is included in a regional transportation package and voters approve the plan next year, officials say they may have to shut down the bridge and demolish it. "We don't know what they mixed in there, but the concrete itself is chemically self-destructing," said county Roads Director Linda Dougherty. "So it's not a bridge that you could cheaply even Band-Aid together to get another 15 years out of. ... "If we have no money in hand, we have pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that by the end of this decade we'll have to make a decision about closing it." The bridge isn't in danger of collapse, so lives aren't at stake, Dougherty says.
If there's any bridge in the state that needs replacing, it's this one. On a Federal Highway Administration scale ranking the condition of bridges, and taking into account their importance, South Park scored a miserable 4 out of 100, worse than the Alaskan Way Viaduct's 9. (The Viaduct, which carries 110,000 vehicles a day, has been settling into soft soil since the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake, and state and Seattle city officials are discussing how to replace it. ) Closing and tearing down the South Park Bridge would cost up to $9 million, hurt South Park's small retail district and worsen traffic congestion on the First Avenue South Bridge and other Duwamish River spans, merchants and county officials say. "We would just be dead in the water," said Otto Porco, manager of Napoli Pizzeria, a restaurant that draws much of its trade from workers at Boeing and other plants across the river on East Marginal Way. "Oh, it's going to kill us," said Chong Lee, who took over the County Line Bar and Grill two months ago. Her business, which lies in the path of the replacement bridge county officials hope to build, is likely to be disrupted no matter what happens. Uncertainty about the bridge's future has clouded discussions among officials in Seattle, Burien and King County over whether the cities will try to annex North Highline, south and west of South Park. The plan would require approval by the residents of the area, which includes White Center and Boulevard Park. But the Seattle City Council says it won't approve any annexation unless King County guarantees it will replace the bridge. County officials say they would like to provide that assurance, but aren't sure how without a funding source. "The South Park Bridge issue is kind of the elephant in the room," says King County's intergovernmental relations director, Ryan Bayne. The north end of the bridge is in Tukwila, the south end in the county's two-block wide "sliver by the river." Most of South Park is in Seattle. (The county in 2003 assumed sole responsibility for replacing the bridge when Tukwila agreed to pay the county $3 million and take ownership of a county swimming pool.) Seattle City Council members are worried that if they annex a portion of North Highline, the state Boundary Review Board for King County might add the sliver to the annexation, making the city responsible for the bridge. "Let's start with resolving the bridge. Let's not start with annexations," said Seattle City Councilman Richard McIver. The city and the county want the South Park Bridge included in a multibillion-dollar transportation-funding plan the Regional Transportation Investment District and Sound Transit are expected to put before voters next year. Dave Gering, executive director of the Manufacturing Industrial Council, calls the spectacle of a major bridge falling apart before our eyes "breathtaking. ... This is the poster child for what's wrong with this region." Keith Ervin: 206-464-2105 or email@example.com Copyright © 2006 The Seattle Times Company Most read articles

Do you think that wood looking porcelain tile would look good in a dining room has any one else went this way and how do you like it. And ifnot what other tile would you use for the floor besides hardwood |

I think it would look great in a dining room. If you are not willing to put wood or laminate, tile is always a safe choice. Just remember, if you have guests sliding their chairs in and out often, you may end up with scratching though. |
Laminate is yucky lol. I'm prob will be putting a area rug down also to help with the chairs |
- Posted by pscott1455 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 13, 13 at 11:14
We put wood grained porcelain in our bathroom. It looks great. The dining room would be great with hardwood. The porcelain might be a bit cold in a dining room. Hardwood is warmer and can be protected with felt. |

There are a couple of things here. There is the big one: universal broadband and an open Internet. You have to get that right and you have to keep pushing ahead on that if you want to have digital news models to work. That's important despite being obvious.
Then there is the tax issue. One of the things we tried to be careful about relates to a joke you've probably heard. A drunk is looking for his car keys under a street lamp and someone asks why he's looking for it there. He says, "That's where the light is." You don't want to assume that FCC solutions are the answer to all problems just because that's what you have handy. If it turns out that tax issues are actually the bigger obstacle than FCC rules, rather than pretending that it's really FCC rules, we just thought, "Let's talk about tax rules." [One recommendation is for changes or clarifications to the US tax code to streamline donations to nonprofits and make it clearer what qualifies as a nonprofit.]
We had enough people tell us there were these inconsistencies that it made us worry. We felt like it was a little outside of our expertise to get all the way granular, to say, "Okay, change section XX " But it was clear that the tax issues were important, it was clear that they were potentially an obstacle to innovation and that we needed to get to the next level. (You might have seen that the Knight Foundation and Partners have announced a task force to figure out the tax issue and make recommendations, which is great. That's exactly the right next step.)
Hopefully, that will lead to clarifications from the IRS or maybe legislative changes if that's necessary. It's a little hard to know. It's like a slow-motion recommendation where it could end up being anything from a minor thing to a hugely important recommendation, but we won't actually know for six months or something like that. We've sort of launched a process that could lead to something important but we won't really know.
Another obstacle was revenue. It doesn't relate only to nonprofits but the solutions are slightly different with the nonprofits than they are with commercial guys. There is some disappointment that we didn't come out with a recommendation for a big new national government spending fund that would give grants to nonprofit news websites, the way the Downie-Schudson report did. But I think we came up with some ideas that could achieve some of the same goals and potentially actually happen.
It's a fair question to ask: Aren't reports supposed to plant a flag all the way out here, and not worry too much about what's achievable right now? I think the answer is that there are different kinds of reports. There are some reports that should do that, particularly if you're independent and not really worried about what you're going to achieve this year or next year, you're more trying to establish an argument for a long-term change in thinking. We were more focused on pragmatic solutions that could have an impact soon, and could have a chance of happening.
One of the big lines of the report is that "Government is not the main player in this drama." Is that concept a core philosophical belief or is that something driven more by pragmatism?
I didn't start off with an assumption that government shouldn't be the main player. I have no ideological disposition about the government taking major roles in things when appropriate. It's more that when you look at the particulars of how it could work, in none of the cases did it make sense to me, and in some of the cases there was real risk that you could make things worse. If you look at the recommendations, again, a billion dollars is twice the size of the CPB's budget. If we had proposed a 50 percent increase in the size of the CPB budget that would have been viewed as a big, dramatic, radical thing. So we proposed moving twice that amount to local media and that's somehow nothing.

The state of Florida has always been known for producing elite NFL defensive backs from the in-state colleges. The University of Miami has sent Ed Reed, Antrel Rolle and the late Sean Taylor to the NFL. Florida has produced former Dolphin safety Louis Oliver and current Browns cornerback Joe Haden. Not to be outdone, FSU can boast of Deion Sanders and LeRoy Butler.
There are obviously plenty of things to discuss when it comes to the Dolphins 13-10 loss to the Browns. For most folks, though, it all boils down to the play of the quarterback. Yesterday, the Dolphins QB, Chad Henne, threw three interceptions, including a semi-flukey one that lead to the Browns' game-winning field goal. Our own QB, John Congemi, breaks down what he saw from Henne yesterday and gives us a glimpse of what could have been…
Guest Blog, by John Congemi:
As Cleveland and Miami traded punts and mistakes, it was the Dolphins that found a way to lose with a last minute turnover that gave the Browns the victory.
The Dolphins will look to improve to 7-5 on the season and keep their playoff hopes alive when they host the 4-7 Cleveland Browns this Sunday at Sun Life Stadium.
It's no secret who the Dolphins defense will be keeping their eyes on during the game; he wears number 40 and is a human wrecking ball by the name of Peyton Hillis.

Congratulations! Will you be sharing photo's with us?
Hello all.
First of all, arranging it was very easy. I contact the Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Folks and they pretty much laid it all out for me. They provided a bunch of worksheets detailing your choices for music, cake, beverages, flowers etc. A Wedding Coordinator walked me through the whole process. I dealt with Karen Serrette who was great!
I chose an officiant form a list that was provided. Reverend Day. He was great too!
After I got to WDW I called Karen provided her the details about the resort we were staying at (Old Key West) and reviewed the time line with her one last time.
The day prior to the ceremony Karen called me again, did another quick run down of events
The limo showed up, we hopped in and went to the Polynesian. Our Ceremony was slated for Sunset Point. of course it rained and plan B went into effect. The coordinator had a back up Plan to use a chapel at Polynesian, but she said she thought it was too dark, so instead we ended up at The Grand Floridian and used one of the patios/Porticos ont he seconf floor The one to the right of the big stair case. Very nice. The coordinator went form Plan B to Plan C with out a hitch.
Music & ceremony followed, a violinist was part of the package. The cake was trundled out, Mickey and Minnnie Showed up, all very nice and well orchestrated by the coordinator. Pictures at the Grand Floridian followed. Then it was back to Old Key West to drop off the remainder of the cake and off to dinner at Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge. The only down side was that the limo driver somehow got lost going from old Key West to Wilderness Lodge and we ended up in Orlando as well as circled Down Town Disney several times.
Overall I think the cost was pretty reasonable, I did some add in of extra limo hours some character visits and upgraded the picture package, but for the quality and orchestration it was well worth it.
The wedding Coordinator was great! She walked us through everything. All we had to do was make some intial decisions and then show up. She orchestrated/choreographed everything flawlessly.
Mickey and Minnie dropping in was a blast! We spent a half hout with them.. They helped cut the cake dances with us and many mnay pictures. Well worth the add on expense wise.
As a surprise gift we received matching fairly tale dwedding watches with the Castle ont he face of the time piece. very nice and not expected at all.
With out a doubt a great experience!

"Sydnie has become a well-rounded player. Not only can she score the basketball, she can also create for others and, most importantly, defend," stated Lady Raider head coach Mindy Kiser.
"She is a very heady player who has continued to improve every season. I wish her the best of luck at Lincoln Memorial and hope to see great things from her both in the classroom and on the floor."
Not only has she thrived on the basketball court for Cleveland, but the game has helped shape her life and aided her in her fight against a disease she lives with every day.
Orignally, Anderson came onto the hardwood as an activity to keep her active and healthy as she faced the struggle of living with Type 1 diabetes. Her parents first pushed the idea of a sport helping her combat the condition.
Basketball did that and more for Anderson. After helping to lead her team to the District 5-AAA championship and a Region 3-AAA tournament berth, she now can look forward to playing at the college level.
"When I went to visit LMU's campus [in Harrogate], it was just a really nice visit. The coaching staff seemed like they were really pushing for me. That's kind of what put me over the edge," Anderson explained.
"I'm really excited to learn more about my new teammates next year. After that, I'm just going to be focused on making a difference on the basketball team."
But, before that comes to fruition she still has a season to look forward to in Raider blue, and that means another shot at a district title with a group of girls who have become more family than teammates.
"I'm really going to miss the family that I've built here at Cleveland. We all have such a good relationship with each other. I'll miss that the most going forward, and I'm really going to miss coach Kiser," Anderson expressed.
"Sidney has really matured and done the work and really earned this. I'm so proud of her, her family and our family here at Cleveland High School," added Kiser.
Last season the Lady Railsplitters carried a record of 14-13 and 9-9 in South Atlantic Conference play. They are currently 2-1 on this season, and were selected to finish sixth in the Preseason SAC Coaches' Poll.
Cleveland's Raiders finished last year with a 19-9 record (8-3 in the district) and the district runner-up crown. They kick off the 2012-13 season Tuesday by traveling to the Christian Academy of Knoxville. The team was selected to finish second in both the district coaches' and media polls.
