Kerista Village is an equalitarian, nonmonogamous, utopian community in San Francisco whose members claim to have eliminated sexual jealousy. Responses of 15 Keristans to a specially designed "Sexual Jealousy Inventory" were compared to responses given by 87 Americans and 17 Israelis. Results indicate that Keristans indeed report significantly less sexual jealousy than the other two groups. Various interpretations of these results are offered, all within a social psychological perspective.

5 Love itawesomecity | 09/01/2012 | See all awesomecity's reviews (987)One of the best phones I've ever used. I can recommend it to anyone who is not a fan of iPhones.
5 Easy to use and great value.slicketyslack | 11/02/2011 | See all slicketyslack's reviews (1)I recently purchased this phone as the touch screen phone I was using finally drove me crazy. It had lousy battery life, I was charging it every day (sometimes twice after heavy use), poor signal reception, I was forever having missed calls and my biggest problem, having to use two hands to do anything on the phone, even answering. This phone is the complete opposite. Battery for days, emails, facebook etc all up to date in "real" time, no lag. And the qwerty keyboard is very simple to use and takes no time to get to grips with (by the way, you don't have to hold the alt button down to type numbers). I updated mine with the new OS6 (same OS as the new BB torch)which is available on crackberry.com and it waslike using a completely different phone. Try and get the new OS installed but even without it this handset will not dissapoint.
5 best phone i have ever ownedtigerkeith | 25/10/2010 | See all tigerkeith's reviews (2)Been looking for a new phone for a while now and always been a fan on Nokia's but everybody raves on about blackberry's and iphones so a couple of weeks ago with a spare few quid in my pocket I chose this phone and am very pleased I did.The internet is absolutely spot on,my old phone had a watered down version of the net but this baby has the full internet just as you would expect on your PC/Laptop.The ability to read your emails and download attachments is fantastic.The camera is a let down with no flash and only 2mega pixels but do people honestly buy phones expecting them to be as good as their compact digitals???Blackberry's are massive in the US as is the iphone so millions of americans can't be wrong can they?Buy this baby and you will not be disappointed.
4 can't live without it but..krascal | 17/02/2011 | See all krascal's reviews (1)This phone is amazing it is difficult to use at first but once you get the hang of it its easy.

How Will Medtronic (MDT) Stock Be Affected By Potential Smith & Nephew (SNN) Bid?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Medtronic Inc.
(MDT - Get Report) are flat in pre-market trade as the heart rhythm devices maker evaluates a takeover of U.K.-based Smith & Nephew Plc
(SNN - Get Report) that could see the U.S. company move its tax domicile overseas, sources told Bloomberg.
Shares of Smith & Nephew are down -4.65 to $92.75 in pre-market trade.
Smith & Nephew has a market value of about $15.9 billion and is aware of Medtronic's interest as are investment banks, sources added. Medtronic's preparations for a bid are at an early stage and no offer is imminent, the sources said.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates MEDTRONIC INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate MEDTRONIC INC (MDT) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 3.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $1,328.00 million or 11.87% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, MEDTRONIC INC has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 7.62%.
- MDT's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.61 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 3.24 is very high and demonstrates very strong liquidity.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

I'm a hand-percussion drummer and a few weeks ago I went all out during a performance causing several blood blisters that I didn't notice until after the show. It's now three weeks later and they're still present although they do seem to be healing.
From the looks of it, I'm probably looking at a few more weeks before it's fully healed. I just wanted to post my story so that people are aware that they don't all heal within one or two weeks. If yours takes a little longer, don't worry about it. You should only really be concerned if it seems infected or if it starts to hurt again after several days of no pain at all, in which case, I'd suggest seeing a doctor.

But Miami certainly hasn't been the only profit center. As part of the annual corporate report, Knight-Ridder chairman and chief executive officer Jim Batten, and company president Tony Ridder together penned a lengthy letter outlining their achievements last year. "It is a pleasure to report that 1994 was a record year for the company A in revenue, net income, and earnings per share," the two men wrote. "Total company revenue grew 8.1 percent to $2.6 billion. Net income was $170.9 million, up 15.4 percent from 1993, and up substantially from any previous year in our history. Earnings per share of $3.15 increased 17.5 percent from $2.68 in the previous year.
"Operating income in our Newspaper Division rose 17.4 percent to $350.9 million, our best operating profit performance ever," the executives added. The only "cloud on the horizon," they warned, was a concern over rising newsprint prices. For the past five years newsprint costs had either remained stable or had actually dropped, but the company would no longer be able to reap the benefits of a depressed newsprint market, and was now bracing for a dramatic increase.
However, even this dark cloud had its proverbial silver lining. Because Knight-Ridder has an ownership interest in two of the major paper mills that are now jacking up prices, the corporation will likely enjoy a windfall profit. "As a result of the expected rise in newsprint prices, we anticipate strong earnings improvement from the company's investments in Southeast Paper Manufacturing Co. and Ponderay Newsprint Company," Batten and Ridder wrote. "Earnings from these investments will help offset newsprint costs."
To ensure against any shortfall, Batten and Ridder informed shareholders that steps were being taken to increase each paper's revenue, and that all publishers would be given financial incentives to make their operations as profitable as possible. "We have undertaken significant new revenue initiatives at each of our newspapers and have made publishers' bonuses in part dependent upon their success," they wrote. "We believe that these initiatives, the anticipated growth in ad revenue, and continued tight cost control will allow us to have another year of Newspaper Division profit growth despite an estimated increase of more than $100 million in newsprint costs." Not only will Knight-Ridder newspapers make a profit this year, the two men predicted, they will make an even greater profit than the record set in 1994.
The company's performance and outlook was so strong that both Batten and Ridder, as well as other top corporate executives, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses last year. According to Knight-Ridder's proxy statement, released publicly on March 24, Batten received a $325,000 bonus on top of his base salary of $656,250. Ridder received a $315,000 bonus above his annual salary of $518,000. Both men were also awarded generous stock options. (Batten, who is suffering from brain cancer, recently stepped aside as chief executive officer, and was replaced by Ridder, though Batten retains his position as chairman.)
Among the challenges Tony Ridder faces is the continuing stagnation of the company's stock. During one of greatest bull markets in history, the price for shares of Knight-Ridder has remained flat. Since January 1992, the Dow Jones index has risen nearly 50 percent, yet Knight-Ridder, which was selling for $55 per share in January 1992, is now selling for only $54 per share. Analysts attribute the lack of growth to various factors, including investor wariness of companies whose profits are heavily dependent on newspaper publishing, an industry that has experienced a steady decline in readership and circulation. (More than 80 percent of Knight-Ridder's revenues derive from its newspapers, whereas the Tribune Company, which owns the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel, and Gannett, which owns USA Today, are more diversified.)
"This stock has not done well at all, and there is tremendous pressure on Knight-Ridder executives to do something about it," says Doug Arthur, an analyst for the New York brokerage firm Morgan Stanley. "And with newsprint prices going higher and higher, and advertising momentum being only fair, it's putting a lot of pressure on management to look at staffing."
Mike Wilson, the former Tropic writer now at the St. Petersburg Times; Susan Olds, the former assistant managing editor who landed at the Newark Star-Ledger; and Bill Greer, the Herald's enterprise editor who moved on to the Palm Beach Post, all claim there is a noticeable difference in working for a publicly held company like Knight-Ridder and working for their current papers, which are privately owned. "The idea of working at an independent newspaper seemed real appealing after working at the Herald," Wilson says. "The Herald labors under the same constraints of any big corporation. It has to make a profit, and a big one. The paper I'm at now is also concerned about making a profit, but they aren't as obsessed."
Olds asserts that rather than make potentially destructive decisions based on short-term goals (improving quarterly earnings, offsetting newsprint costs), privately owned papers are more likely to take a longer view. "The paper I'm at now is adding staff," she says. "It's expanding."
"My sense of our people is that they are demoralized by the most recent cost cutting. They see only the short term. They are skeptical or unaware of our commitment to long-term strategic planning to shape our future and end this continuous cycle of cost cutting.

Shell and fresh water
The energy sector, like others, is becoming increasingly concerned about water use as water becomes scarcer globally. New approaches and advanced technologies are helping us to reduce the amount of water we need for our operations.
Oman, where we clear contaminated water using reed beds
Energy and water are interconnected. The energy industry needs water for drilling, flooding wells, refining crude and producing biofuels.
Water is also used as steam to drive electricity turbines in power generation.
At the same time, the purification, distribution and treatment of water and waste water require energy.
Demand for fresh water is growing. Yet access to fresh water supplies is becoming more restricted for many people. In some regions, freshwater reserves are being used up or polluted faster than they can be replenished.
And the world's water resources will come under even greater stress between now and 2050 as populations grow and become wealthier.
At Shell we have water management plans at our operations to help us monitor and reduce our water use in water-stressed areas. Growing crops to make biofuels, for example, can be water intensive.
But sourcing the raw materials in countries like Brazil, where high rainfall reduces the need for artificial irrigation, can make a difference.
Shell is investing in Brazilian sugar-cane ethanol through Raízen, our joint venture with Cosan.
In its processing mills Raízen uses a system that recycles 90% of the water used to convert sugar cane into ethanol.
Elsewhere we use advanced technology to help reduce our water use.
Our Pearl GTL plant in Qatar, for example, turns natural gas to liquid products and is designed to take no fresh water from its arid surroundings.
In Oman we are using reed beds to clean water produced with oil.
This saves the energy needed to pump water back into the ground.
At the SAPREF refinery (Shell interest 37.5%) in South Africa we use recycled household water and in the Netherlands, the Schoonebeek (Shell interest 30%) project will reuse municipal wastewater to make steam.
Looking to the future
The pressure on water and energy will continue to grow in the coming decades driven by rising prosperity and rapid urbanisation.
To improve the measurement of water use in industry, in 2011 we worked with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the University of Utrecht to develop a new methodology.
Now we can estimate more accurately the amount of water needed to generate energy from different sources – including oil, gas, coal, nuclear and biofuels – using different technologies and in different locations.
The findings were published in early 2012 in a peer-reviewed academic journal. We are sharing our data with the wider business sector and the International Energy Agency.
We are also leading work through the WBCSD on the energy-water-food nexus – the interconnected relationship between three of the world's most vital resources.

I ran away, the first time, when I was 7. It wasn't because my parents were mean, or because my mother had taken away a cherished toy or grounded me. The night before, my brother Chuck and I had watched a movie where the child protagonist ran away from an orphanage to make a life in the woods. I can't remember the title now—it was some made-for-television, early 80s thing, all bad hair and violins—but I remember how we laid on our stomachs, faces propped in hands, and watched, rapt. The boy made a bow and arrows, hunted deer and pheasant, knew how to find mushrooms. He built a cozy shelter of animal skins and branches where, against a winter sky, smoke curled idly from a hole he had cut in the roof.
Early next morning, I organized the break. Chuck and I packed several items we deemed important—coats, winter boots, a few crackers, and my Holly Hobbie sewing machine—before heading out. We made it as far as the house across the street, where we played with the neighbors, Brandon and Angela, until my mother woke up and found us missing. We were spanked, hard, for running away. We'd been gone for at least an hour, and it was winter, there was snow on the ground, and my brother was only 5. There was my father's belt, and a sentence to spend the day in our respective rooms. My mother, though, seemed more concerned to find out what had prompted us to try running away in the first place. "Don't you love your father and me?" she asked. "Are you mad at us?"
I didn't know then how to put into words my desire to leave the familiar behind. Or how, the night before, shoulder to shoulder with my brother, I imagined it was possible to be a child and still fashion a life of my own, through work, diligence, and an ascetic isolation. As the lights from the TV played images across our upturned faces, I could picture how long we'd have to walk to find some secret place. It was comforting. It was a narrative in which a kid became more powerful than adults.
It is five days until we set out across America, five days until we pack dishes and food and sleeping bags and a tent and bottles of water and ice and bandages and head north first to Montana. I've been planning this trip, in some way, for four years. Four years ago, I imagined piling the kids in the car and driving, just driving. We'd pass through towns where no one would know my marriage was falling apart, that in Eugene, Oregon my husband was living in an apartment that I never wanted him to move from. They wouldn't know that I was contemplating dropping out of graduate school, because who could finish, really, with three kids, the oldest 7? They wouldn't be able to tell that I had no money, that I was terrified I was fucking everything up. The road, the movement from place to place, the act of seeing, of witnessing to America, became a catharsis I longed for.
Longed for but could not complete, at least not then. As the years passed, I finished school, divorced, worked, constructed a life I'm happy with. Yet the desire, something deep and thirsty, was still there. I wanted to cross the continent, drive the blue and red highways, touch the Corn Palace in South Dakota, walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, see Avery Island in Louisiana and the Buddhist temple there. The trip became bigger than a simple therapy, or an answer to a laundry list of worries I'd had, deficiencies I'd never been able to fix. I wanted to see the people who lived in places decidedly different than Eugene, Oregon (which is just about everywhere). I wanted to understand the country I'd called home my entire life. It began to feel like a duty, like a necessary part of my education, my kids' education. I can sit in a lovely coffee house, drinking my organic, fair trade coffee laced with rice milk, and can comment on the idiocy of Californians for passing Proposition 8, or can shake my head at any array of red state "offenses," the Sanford debacle, or the Fort Worth brutalization of gay men on the anniversary of Stonewall, but it feels somehow wrong, somehow incomplete, without knowing them, without trying to understand what it's like to live as them, in those places.
This year, through several fortuitous coincidences, I was able to squirrel away enough money for the trip. Months ago I started planning the epic journey with New Slang Philosopher because we wanted to go together. We drew routes, lined our atlases with pencil marks and circles. But I knew after a month I couldn't take the trip with her, or anyone but my own children. I had to go it alone, even if it was going to be harder. Even if it was going to be lonelier. Because I needed to see America for myself, and be the one showing the kids. It could never be a joint adventure, not really.
Today, I discovered that NBC and I think alike. That is, their show The Great American Road Trip premieres next week. Not on any day, but on July 7th, the day we embark on our own adventure. Initially, I was horrified. I'd been scooped! Out done! My idea had been stolen! It would ruin everything! But that anger conveniently ignored everyone who came before me (or NBC), like John Steinbeck and William Least Heat-Moon, or even Homer. There can be no helping the fact that when you talk about The Odyssey, you're referring to every narrative that has capitalized on that theme since, even Road Trip, and vice versa. No one owns the idea of the road trip, least of all me (and when I'm feeling saucy, I like to say "least of all NBC.").
So I looked at the show's website to see what their conception of the meme was. Seven families, all of them so alike that their minor differences seem both staged and glaring, a neat trick. Each family has 2 children. Each family has 2 parents, though one family is the product of divorce and remarriage. They are mostly white (with two exceptions, of course), and they all appear at least solidly middle class. There are no gay parents (or, well, openly gay parents). There are no single parents. There is no family with more than 2 kids.
The families are also outfitted with giant RV's, and then sent across the country to compete against each other in "comedic challenges." Each week, a family will be eliminated, which will be decided based upon how well each family does on the challenges. The backdrop of said challenges will be, apparently, places like The Grand Canyon and The Washington Monument. America's mutant power must be the ability to turn anything, even a literary concept thousands of years old, into a profitable reality television show.
But like all reality television, it's a far cry from reality. It's not even within walking distance of reality. Taking a journey, an epic road trip, isn't supposed to be about using iconic American symbols and images as a backdrop for, I dunno, raspberry jam wrestling. And it's not something that can be scripted in such a manner, or made to conform to a clean, neat 42-minute weekly episode with a clear narrative arc, a protagonist and a plot and building tension.
And I felt, suddenly and quite happily, lightened. Our road trip's beginning, the way it coincides so perfectly with NBC's The Great American Road Trip is not a terrible coincidence, but serendipity, pure and simple. It means this is something people are interested in. And while we won't be traipsing through Washington, trying to outdo other families for some opulent grand prize, we'll be crossing into Wyoming, and listening to the blue grass at the Big Horn Mountain Festival. We'll be at the Crazy Horse Memorial. We'll be on Clear Lake in Minnesota, or at Coney Island, peering cautiously at the bearded woman. We'll be on the shores of the Florida panhandle, marveling at the warm, crystalline water of the Gulf of Mexico, or dancing to Zydeco in New Orleans, or walking through Selma. We'll be at the foot of the Great Salt Lake, the edge of the Grand Canyon. And we'll snake through California, Los Angeles, until we get to that last stop, Susanville, California, the place I tried to run away from all those years ago. In essence, I'll go home, and then I'll go home. Which is something, I'm certain, no camera will ever manage to fully capture.

I know what you mean about traveling with a friend, even a good one. My friend and neighbor once proposed that both our families drive "out west" while our husbands fly and meet us on the other side. I had reservations about it, mainly because I just didn't want the stress of going with someone else. So very much dirty laundry gets aired on trips like that, and I just didn't want to worry about what someone else thought about my kooky habits or kids.
If you're passing through Ohio, stop by :)
Have a wonderful time!
Still, I love your plans, and eagerly look forward to dispatches.
I'm also sorry you're not making the southern pass through here, but if you change your mind, you are your horde are welcome to bivouac, I'll kick the daughter out of her room and you can have that for you and the kids...(there's a separate bedroom/office that you can fling the kids into...they both have a connecting bath.
Ho! The Odyssey!
I'm sure that your road trip will blow away NBC's. Have a great trip and then write about it afterward, OK?
I'd also dreamed about a cross-country roadtrip, and a couple of years ago when I got my job in CA I did "the northern route." Totally cool. Now I want to do the "southern route" back, and hope that sometime I will have the time.
I hope the trip is everything you want it to be.
Beautiful opening to this piece, btw. Perfect. Raspberry jam wrestling will never be able to compete.
I'm looking forward to the trip, but I'm scared as hell as well, all. Which, I guess, is how it should be.
I have taken two long trips with my children (when they were children) -- one out of duty, from the Philadelphia area to southeastern Iowa for a family reunion, and another out of necessity, relocating from the Philadelphia area to Austin when we left their father. Both were wonderful trips of discovery. Yes, there were hiccups, but the great times vastly outweighed those. We still talk about the fun we had almost 25 years ago.
Your trip will be perfect.
You guys are very kind to this piece--thank you.

Talk:How to use the EqualizerControl in the Java ME AMMS API
Hamishwillee - Great topic
Hi Kaj-Michael
Thanks for starting this article - looks like it is shaping up nicely. I have fixed the categories and added some standard wiki styling. I haven't subedited for English and I won't until you're finished.
I suggest a rename to "How to use the EqualizerControl in the Java ME AMMS API" or "How to use the EqualizerControl on Java ME"
I see this is tested on the Nokia Asha 311. Will you test it on the Asha 501? Can you confirm which SDK you are using to build - the latest for Asha or an older one?

Oniongarlic -
Afaik Asha 501 and later devices do not support the EqualizerControl.oniongarlic (talk) 14:14, 15 January 2014 (EET)

How Loudly Should Fenway Boo Beckett Tonight?
Let me first start off by saying I'm as anti-booing your own team's jersey as it gets. I'm not sure I've ever done it. Like whenever it was the the idiot Gillette fans booed the Pats after a loss to the Dolphins I was disgusted. But tonight is an entirely different story. Beckett has parlayed the chicken and beer incident into something exponentially larger. After last year Lester apologized and somewhat cleared his ledger, Lackey was lucky enough to need Tommy John so no one even cares about him anymore, but Beckett has kept the pedal to the metal on his "I don't give a fuck" tour. He deserves to be booed.
I'm smart enough to realize that the chicken and beer wasn't the main cause of last year's epic collapse. And I do trust Beckett in so far that he wouldn't go golfing if it was gonna injure him further, his health and body are his 401K after all. But whether it be playing Halo and eating Popeye's or being spotted on the back 9 two days before being scratched, they're symbolic. Symbolic of a dude who is entirely checked out and does not give a shit about the fans who "sell out" the ball park every night. You'd think he'd understand that after last year he should have treated the first few months like he was in his girl's doghouse. Keep your head down, do your chores, and hope it blows over soon. I mean Lester isn't exactly pitching lights out. In fact, if anything, he's made me realize he'll never be the ace we need him to be. But no one is bringing up last year because he's doing everything else right.
So tonight, for the first time in my life, I'm gonna condone an all out booing. Make his ears ring from it. Because if anyone has ever deserved it, it's Josh Beckett. You're not booing the jersey, you're booing the arrogant, self-centered and lazy piece of shit wearing it. And the best part is that Beckett is a warrior. It will probably piss him off and he'll go out there and give up 2 over 8. Win for everyone.
Until the bullpen blows it in the 9th, of course.

Thomas Keating once said, Gods first language is silence. Everything else is translation. A very clever remark!
The imposition of sound:
I didnt realize how loud its become lately! Let me tell you! Laid back in my recliner, wrapped in midnight quietude, I slept soundly, until I was awakened by the sound of it abruptly shutting down. Consciously listening through the darkness, I noted that the audible tick, tick, tick of the kitchen clock probably runs for days not being heard. Pats deep breathing faded in and out like a familiar tune tiptoeing through my head. A light wind skipped between leaves of our lanky ash tree, seen but not heard in its fluttering, black silhouette against a white wall.
Just as renewed sleep embraced me, like a slow dance in the moonlight, it kicked in again, the imposition of its brash sound ruffling my feathers. That refrigerator runs as if its heaved its last breath. Background racket is often noted when it vibrantly quits. We live with it, unaware that sound may be imposing unrest and difficulty concentrating onto our brains.
Sound research:
Would you believe that research shows that in noisy areas people are much less likely to help each other? That noise detaches us not only from our surroundings but also from each other? That traffic is the number one source of noise pollution in the world? That in Canada the noise of gas lines has reduced the pairing success rate of ovenbirds by 30%?
Are you aware that a jet plane, thirty-six thousand feet in the sky, is destroying more than a thousand square miles of silence below it? That research with children who have attention-deficit disorder shows that experiencing quiet in nature is as effective for them as medication? That the average daytime noise-free interval in our wilderness and national parks has shrunk to less than five minutes?
Gordon Hampton believes there may be fewer than a dozen places left in the U.S. where you can sit for 20 minutes during the day without hearing a plane fly over or some other noise from human activity, Leslee Goodman reports, in the September SUN interview with Acoustic ecologist Gordan Hampton, entitled Quiet, Please. Hampton has traveled the globe for more than 25 years recording the vanishing sounds of nature.
The above facts, labeled sound research are from the SUN article, and shared by Gordon Hampton.
Turn it off and listen!:
When asked to identify the quietest place they know of, it will probably throw some for a loop. The fact is, there are many who thrive on their kind of noise, and feel the need to be surrounded by it much of the time, or think they do. The first place quietude begins is within ones self. Those are the ones who seek it, allow downtime to indulge in it, and arent inhibited to spend alone time, quality moments with personal thoughts.
Mother Teresa had this to say, We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature trees, flowers, grass grows in silence; see the stars, the moon, and the sun, how they move in silence. She, above all, should know.
Silence speaks for itself:
Many of you over the age of fifty might remember the late Marcel Marceau, the internationally acclaimed French mime, famous for his persona as Bip the Clown. His smooth moves, body language, and contorted expressions told every sort of story and mastered the portrayal of any mood and emotion, without uttering one sound. I recall sobbing and laughing hysterically as our family watched his performances on our little RCA television.
Marcel Marceau is quoted in the Suns Sunbeams section: Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us all without words? Amen.
Silence is golden. Tune it in.

New York City: Locanda Verde
There are three major problems with the new Locanda Verde. One of them is deciding what to eat. Andrew Carmellini (late of A Voce, and before that Daniel) has a talent for writing appealing menus, and faced with a choice between garlic chicken roasted in a wood fire or fettuccine verde with white Bolognese or porchetta della casa, ordering can take a long time. Especially when the prices are so reasonable; portions are generous and nothing costs more than twenty-five bucks. My advice: Don't miss the little fava bean crostino, or the amazingly fine wood-fired shrimp, and definitely go for the chicken. The pastas were all wonderful, too. The other problems? For one thing, the restaurant is so cramped that, wriggling into my seat, I nearly knocked the water off my neighbor's table (he had similar issues as he made an exit). All that crowding does not exactly make a quiet room; this is not the place for a soulful tête à tête. But if you're looking for a deliciously buzzy evening (Robert De Niro owns it after all), this may be exactly what you're after.

Whether you like funk, R&B, pop or the 70's there is something here for you. Vocalist/ producer/ songwriter/ percussionist and kalimba player, Maurice White, leads this classic group who's music spans several genres and three decades. Backed with an entire brass section- you just don't hear music as full bodied and well developed as this anymore. EW&F is one the world's most successful groups and has a permanent place in the history of popular music. Some of the era's most needed, heeded messages ran deep and sweet atop Verdine White's bass grooves (front and center on "Getaway"), brother and leader Maurice's drum and percussion tracks honed over years with Chess Records' rhythm section Louis Satterfield's horn section scrambling through jazz-rock mazes every track (becoming a 80s rock stalwart backing Phil Collins), and Phillip Bailey's high, clear falsetto on "After The Love Has Gone," the prom dance standard "Reasons," the soaring chorus of "September," and the elegant "Fantasy" Earth, Wind & Fire - September One of the best feel good songs of all time.. I am really glad the stars told Maurice to release this song.....With the band trying to find their place in music....they found their place in music history...without them...none of us would have the music we have today!!!

So yesterday I had time to kill so what better way to do it than going to the movies!? I saw Red Riding Hood and I really liked it!
The movie did a good job of giving a gothic/folksy feel to the story. It also did a great job of sticking to the original fairy tale. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering who the wolf actually was and I was so surprised at who it ended up being.
I am a big fan of Amanda Seyfried and she did NOT disappoint with this movie. It's great to see her play a more serious role since acting in Mean Girls and Mama Mia.
Since Red Riding Hood and Twilight were directed by the same director, I thought there would be too many similarities to Twilight and that I wouldn't enjoy it but actually the opposite happened. The Twilight feel of the movie really added to the plot and the environment.
This movie definitely gets a thumbs up from me!

Mastering Regular Expressions, 3rd Edition
Regular expressions are an extremely powerful tool for manipulating text and data. They are now standard features in a wide range of languages and popular tools, including Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, VB.NET and C# (and any language using the .NET Framework), PHP, and MySQL.
If you don't use regular expressions yet, you will discover in this book a whole new world of mastery over your data. If you already use them, you'll appreciate this book's unprecedented detail and breadth of coverage. If you think you know all you need to know about regular expressions, this book is a stunning eye-opener.
As this book shows, a command of regular expressions is an invaluable skill. Regular expressions allow you to code complex and subtle text processing that you never imagined could be automated. Regular expressions can save you time and aggravation. They can be used to craft elegant solutions to a wide range of problems. Once you've mastered regular expressions, they'll become an invaluable part of your toolkit. You will wonder how you ever got by without them.
Yet despite their wide availability, flexibility, and unparalleled power, regular expressions are frequently underutilized. Yet what is power in the hands of an expert can be fraught with peril for the unwary. Mastering Regular Expressions will help you navigate the minefield to becoming an expert and help you optimize your use of regular expressions.
Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition, now includes a full chapter devoted to PHP and its powerful and expressive suite of regular expression functions, in addition to enhanced PHP coverage in the central "core" chapters. Furthermore, this edition has been updated throughout to reflect advances in other languages, including expanded in-depth coverage of Sun's java.util.regex package, which has emerged as the standard Java regex implementation. Topics include:
# A comparison of features among different versions of many languages and tools
# How the regular expression engine works
# Optimization (major savings available here!)
# Matching just what you want, but not what you don't want
# Sections and chapters on individual languages
Written in the lucid, entertaining tone that makes a complex, dry topic become crystal-clear to programmers, and sprinkled with solutions to complex real-world problems, Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition offers a wealth information that you can put to immediate use

2010 On March 25, the superiors of the Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi issue a public statement expressing their deep sorrow for the gravely reprehensible actions of their founder. At the same time, they renew their commitment to deepen their understanding of the Legion's history, charism, and spirituality, and to engage in a process of renewal under the guidance of the Church.
Upon the conclusion of the apostolic visitation, Pope Benedict XVI decides to continue accompanying the Legionaries of Christ. To this end, on July 9, the Pope appoints Archbishop Velasio De Paolis as pontifical delegate, with the task of guiding the congregation of the Legionaries of Christ through a process of revision and renewal. An apostolic visitation to the consecrated members of Regnum Christi is also announced.
Detailed documentation on recent developments related to the founder, the apostolic visitation, and the pontifical delegate can be found here.

from St. Louis MO: "U.S. Rep. Todd Akin caused an uproar last week when he told a national radio audience that "at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God." On Tuesday, he issued a statement apologizing to anyone who thought he was questioning their faith.
"But the apology fell flat with a group of St. Louis-area clergy members, most of whom are liberal. They plan to gather at Akin's Ballwin district office at 11 a.m. today to deliver a letter calling on him to "reconsider not only your words, but also your moral priorities as a political leader."

The meltdown wasn't caused by that small percentage of over-reaching home buyers.

The lie in the form of an e-mail from the McCain campaign --
You've surely seen the shameful attacks Senator Obama and his liberal allies have launched against our vice presidential nominee, Governor Sarah Palin.
Even before our national convention, the Obama campaign dispatched what The Wall Street Journal called a "mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers" to Alaska to dig up dirt for their personal attacks on Governor Palin and her family.

Local communities offered more say over wind farms
Local communities are to be given more powers to block onshore wind farms, but also offered greater incentives to accept them, the government says.
Planning guidance in England will be changed to ensure local opposition can override national energy targets.
But the measures will see a five-fold rise in the benefits paid by developers to communities hosting wind farms.
The subsidies - worth about £100,000 a year from a medium-sized farm - could be used to reduce energy bills.
Alternatively, the money could pay for energy efficiencies in the host community or fund other local initiatives.
The government said the measures would ensure local communities had a greater stake in the planning process.
It said it expected the energy industry to improve its community benefit packages by the end of the year.
Protection of landscapeThis increase will be from £1,000 per megawatt (MW) of installed capacity per year, to £5,000 per MW per year, for the lifetime of the wind farm.
This means a medium-sized 20 MW wind farm could produce a benefits package to the local community worth £100,000 a year.
It will be up to local communities and developers to decide how any money is spent.
For example, a similar scheme run by the wind farm company RES at its Meikle Carewe operation, near Aberdeen, will see local residents get £122 off their annual electricity bills.
Energy Secretary Edward Davey said: "It is important that onshore wind is developed in a way that is truly sustainable - economically, environmentally and socially - and today's announcement will ensure that communities see the windfall from hosting developments near to them, not just the wind farm".
It is with exquisite timing that the government announces it will make it harder to build wind farms today - World Environment Day.
If there were to be a major fall in the number of wind farms being built it would present a problem for the government's long-term legally binding targets on cutting CO2 emissions.
It would also result in a rise in bills, as onshore wind is by by far cheaper than offshore wind or nuclear.
Having said that, It clearly makes sense for developers to compensate people whose house value is lowered by turbines, and to consult much better. Green groups would support all that.
Other European countries avoided mass wind farm protests because they ensured that locals benefited. In Denmark a wind power revolution was driven by community ownership - every village wanted its own turbine.
Today's announcement does not appear to address another real problem area with wind farms - the pylons. In mid-Wales for instance locals have in the past been generally relaxed about turbines on flat hill tops where they can't be seen - but very cross about pylons in the valleys.
The Department for Communities and Local Government will make sure local people have more say in the planning of wind farms and that the need for renewable energy does not automatically override the planning concerns of communities.
"We want to give local communities a greater say on planning, to give greater weight to the protection of landscape, heritage and local amenity," said Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles.
Planning approvals for wind farms in England have dropped in recent years, a situation the government is keen to turn around.
In 2008, about 70% of applications were approved, but approvals were down to 35% in 2012.
More than 4,000 turbines are in operation across the country, with almost 6,000 under or awaiting construction or in the planning system.
In 2011, onshore wind farms generated 3% of the UK's electricity supply, generating enough power for the equivalent of 2.5 million homes.
BBC deputy political editor James Landale says the coalition government wants to generate more renewable energy, but wanted to shift the balance of decision-making more in favour of local communities.
'Coalition tensions'A Conservative source said the prime minister felt it was important to take local people into account so that if they did not want wind farms they could stop them.
"Start Quote
End Quote Paul Miner Campaign to Protect Rural EnglandWe want to see wind farm developers spend far more money on community investment than they are in England at present"
But Lib Dem sources emphasised other changes, namely the increased subsidy from developers - a greater incentive for residents but also a greater cost for developers, our correspondent says.
He adds that the bottom line is that these changes will almost certainly mean fewer onshore wind farms and they will add to coalition tensions.
Maria McCaffery, chief executive of trade association RenewableUK, said the proposals would signal the end of many planned developments and that was "disappointing".
She said: "Developing wind farms requires a significant amount of investment to be made upfront. Adding to this cost, by following the government's advice that we should pay substantially more into community funds for future projects, will unfortunately make some planned wind energy developments uneconomic in England.
"That said, we recognise the need to ensure good practice across the industry and will continue to work with government and local authorities to benefit communities right across the country which are hosting our clean energy future."
Paul Miner, of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, welcomed the measures.
"We want to see a fairer and more open planning process, more discussions before planning applications are submitted... but we also want to see wind farm developers spend far more money on community investment than they are in England at present," he said.
"They're only spending typically half the amount in England that they spend in Scotland."
Meanwhile, Roberta Blackman-Woods MP, Labour's Shadow Planning Minister, said the government's plans lacked detail.
"The Government has announced these changes without any clarity on the size of wind applications to be included, the extent of powers that communities will have to stop unpopular applications and even if communities without a local plan will benefit," she said.
