The organizer and the person most responsible for Elián's tragedy and the death of Elizabeth and others, adding up to a total of 11 Cuban citizens who lost their lives in that absurd misadventure -- the direct result like many others of an insane and genocidal law against Cuba imposed by the U.S. 33 years ago and still in effect -- was in this case a young man whose illustrative history as a student and citizen is worth knowing and reflecting upon to come to the relevant conclusions.
He was born in Havana on January 12, 1975. In 1979, when he was four years old, his family moved to the oil mining zone in the municipality of Varadero, where his father worked as a mining equipment operator. His family environment was known to be unfavorable. In his home there were constant arguments and disagreements among family members and also with the neighbors. Some believe that this could have greatly influenced the subsequent development of his personality.
Like all children, adolescents, and young people in Cuba, he also had the opportunity for a free education. Upon reaching school age, he entered "13 de Marzo" Elementary School in the municipality of Cárdenas. He studied there for six years. Although his grades were acceptable, at the end of this stage of his education the teachers described him as a restless child who often got into fistfights with his schoolmates and broke other school rules.
He moved on to "Capitán Guillermo Geilín" Junior Secondary School in the same municipality. No progress was made in his social conduct. Upon completing his studies there, the evaluation of his conduct was similar to the last. He increasingly displayed characteristics and reactions that worried and drew the attention of his teachers. Nevertheless, like all ninth grade graduates, he received a scholarship to undertake senior high school studies, and was enrolled in "Héroes de Playa Girón" Senior High School in the municipality of Jagüey Grande, Matanzas province. His social behavior continued to deteriorate, particularly his discipline.
According to testimony from his teachers, during the time that Lázaro Munero attended this school, he was characterized as an aggressive youth, particularly towards the girls, whom he physically and verbally abused. He was expelled from this school for taking part in throwing cans and jars full of excrement into the school courtyard.
In order to prevent him from dropping out of the educational system, he was enrolled in "Emilio Roig" Senior High School, where he continued his tenth grade studies. But his fist-fighting continued there as well. He used his knowledge of judo techniques, which he had learned in junior high school, to strike and abuse others.
His teachers particularly remember an occasion when he used truly excessive and traumatic violence against another student, causing him physical injury. He went even further when already attending "Emilio Roig" Senior High School. During a students school function at "Héroes de Playa Girón" Senior High School, from which he had been expelled, Lázaro Munero started a disturbance and wounded a student with a sharp tool.
He dropped out of school in tenth grade, during the 1989-1990 school year, to undertake a criminal career.
We will let the following testimonies tell us more about this man:
ENRIQUE RAMÍREZ MENDOZA, a native of Havana City, assistant director of production at "Cecilio Miranda Díaz" Junior High School, in the municipality of Jagüey Grande: "I met the man named Lázaro Rafael Munero García when he was transferred from "Héroes de Playa Girón" Senior High School to "Emilio Roig" Senior High School, where I was the principal at the time. He had been transferred due to bad conduct. I remember that he was a student who liked to stand out from the rest by negative attitudes and tough demeanor. I also remember an occasion when a students' school function was being held at "Héroes de Playa Girón" Senior High School, and Munero left the school along with another student named Michel González and went to the aforementioned school, where he started a disturbance that ended with Munero wounding another student with a sharp tool. "That same night two officers from the National Revolutionary Police went to "Emilio Roig" School to investigate the incident, and they spoke with both Lázaro Munero and Michel González, who immediately conceded their involvement in the events. After this, Munero García continued to attend school but did not finish the school year due to his negative attitude."
ZAIDA ELISA IZQUIERDO MOREJÓN, a teacher at "Héroes de Playa Girón" Senior High School: "I have been working since 1985 at 'Héroes de Playa Girón' Senior High School, where one of my students was the youth named Lázaro Rafael Munero García, who was in the tenth grade at the time. I remember that he was characterized as being an aggressive person, particularly against the girls, who he physically and verbally abused. He was undisciplined. "Thinking back, I also remember a time when there were a number of incidents of cans and jars of excrement being thrown into the school courtyard, and it was finally determined that Lázaro Munero was the ringleader. I spoke with him personally on various occasions to try to change the way he acted, without any results whatsoever, since he was not receptive to criticism, and as a result was finally expelled from the school."
LUCÍA BACILIA PÉREZ PEÑAFUERTE, a native of Corralillo and a teacher at the Carlos Marx School in the village of Agramonte, municipality of Jagey Grande: ÒI met the individual named Lázaro Rafael Munero García when he was attending 'Héroes de Playa Girón' Senior High School. At the time I was the head teacher for the 1989-1990 school year. I remember that he had an average academic performance and also that he was introverted. He liked to stand out from the rest of the students by telling jokes to get everyone's attention. I also remember that Munero García had a girlfriend that he physically abused. I think he had severe behavioral problems, although I never met his parents because they never visited the school. After he left this school, he was transferred to 'Emilio Roig' Senior High School, where he also had problems that led him to drop out before the end of the school year.
ORESTES MARRERO DE LA HORDA, a student at the Tourism Polytechnic School in Varadero: "I can say that when Munero Garca was in junior high school he began to practice judo, and this led to a major penchant towards a bullish behavior, which shows in all the fights he got into, both in school and on the street. I remember one of them, which was very talked about, the fight he had at the students center in this city, where he took on various people, and another one at the Oil Company club, which led to him being thrown out. In other words, this individual was almost always getting into fights and disturbances because of his own personality."
ILIÁN ABEL RODRÍGUEZ FORMOSO, a neighbor of Lázaro Rafael Munero García: "With regard to this man, I can say that he never worked in his life. He was always involved in illegal business deals, which is how he earned the money to live beyond his means. I can also say that he did not get along with his neighbors, I never saw him socialize with any of them. He was a bully who liked to live that kind of life."
DAGOBERTO MUNERO MOLINA, a brother of Lázaro's father, a native of Caibarién and assistant at the Cárdenas Oil Drilling and Extraction Company: "Lázaro always acted like a bully and treated his own family badly [his father, brother, and wife]. He only spared from such treatment his mother, María Elena García García, who had a very strong character, and so she and my nephew did whatever they wanted around the house. I also know that Lázaro and his father had violent arguments. I can also say that Lázaro paid little attention to his son [a son that, as will be seen later, he had had with a young classmate], which is why the child's grandparents had to demand that he paid his alimony. "I remember that whenever my nephew spoke to Elizabeth, he did so roughly and she submitted to him because she was a better person. In the neighborhood where he lived, Lázaro didn't put up with anything from anyone. He was very loud and always thought he was right. He always wanted to have his way.

In the Magic's season opener in Indiana, Andrew Nicholson was a human blowtorch. He lit up the Pacers for 18 points (all in the first half) and set basketball Twitter ablaze with his scoring prowess. Nicholson unleashed his full arsenal of moves — some old, some new. A lefty hook here (old), a corner 3 there (new!), and midrange jump shots (old) everywhere. It appeared that Nicholson was primed to build off his impressive rookie campaign.
Through the first month of the season, Nicholson looked every bit like a player that was naturally progressing in his second year in the NBA. He added a 3-point shot (specifically from the corners) and he was improving as a rebounder. His defense still had a long ways to go, but that's the case for almost any youngster in the league. Nicholson included.
Then something unexpected happened after that first month. Nicholson regressed.
One of the biggest factors is that Nicholson stopped getting steady minutes. For players in a developmental stage, consistent playing time can have transformative effects and can help them reach their potential. And Nicholson was deprived of that.
After missing 21 of the Magic's first 22 games of the season with a high ankle sprain, Tobias Harris returned from injury on Dec. 13 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Five days later, he was reinserted into the starting lineup at the small forward position.
At first, Nicholson was still coming off the bench as the back-up power forward. But in late December, Harris began soaking up minutes as a stretch four with the second unit. Bit by bit, Nicholson's playing time waned.
Just when it seemed like Nicholson was falling out of the rotation completely, Nikola Vucevic suffered a concussion on Jan. 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Because of Vucevic's injury, that forced Harris to start at power forward while Glen Davis slid over to the starting center position. Consequently, that opened up minutes for Nicholson to be Harris' back-up. It also opened up a spot for Kyle O'Quinn, who backed up Davis.
But Nicholson didn't take advantage of the playing time. O'Quinn did.
O'Quinn earned coach Jacque Vaughn's trust by making impact plays on both ends of the floor, while Nicholson struggled and went into a deep funk offensively. By the time Vucevic fully recovered from his concussion, O'Quinn had played his way into Vaughn's rotation while Nicholson played himself out of it.
With Harris back to playing the stretch four position with the reserves, and O'Quinn alternating between back-up power forward and center, Nicholson was officially out of the rotation. Just when it looked like Nicholson was firmly planted on the Magic's bench indefinitely, he got another reprieve.
Recognizing that the Magic needed to continue to develop their young players, GM Rob Hennigan bought out Davis' contract shortly after the trade deadline expired. The move was meant to free up minutes for Harris, Nicholson, and O'Quinn.
Harris could become a full-time power forward (a position he thrived in last season after coming over from the Milwaukee Bucks in the J.J. Redick trade), with Nicholson as his back-up, and O'Quinn could back up Vucevic at center. While Harris and O'Quinn have flourished in their roles, Nicholson's struggles continue.
So what gives? Is it a confidence problem that's led to Nicholson's dip in production? Are the Magic mishandling him?
The biggest issue is that Nicholson is playing further and further away from the hoop.
In his rookie season, Nicholson wowed everyone with his refined low post game. He had an array of post moves more fit for a veteran than a rookie. He was also a wonderful pick-and-pop player that could step out and make midrange jumpers with consistency. Those are the skills that Nicholson flashed in his rookie year and the expectation was that he would continue to build on his existing offensive skill-set, which was already polished.
During the offseason, Nicholson made an effort to add a 3-point shot to his repertoire, which was seen as a wise move. As the NBA becomes more and more a perimeter-based game, it made sense for Nicholson to expand his range and stretch the floor further. Big men like Serge Ibaka and Chris Bosh, who have trusty midrange shots, have added the corner 3 to their arsenal (in the case of Bosh, he went even further and has become a full-fledged 3-point shooter).
The problem is that Nicholson has overcompensated this season. In expanding his range, he's lost sight of his strengths. He's a low post player, first and foremost, not a perimeter guy. Yet that's what he's become this season. He's operating more on the perimeter and it's not working.
But worse yet, his confidence is shaken. Nicholson no longer looks fluid when he is in the post. Instead, he's rushing on his hook shots instead of taking his time and being deliberate like he was in his rookie year.
And while his percentages from midrange haven't dipped too much year-over-year, Nicholson has struggled beyond the arc. This isn't to say the Magic should abandon the 3-point experiment with Nicholson. Bosh's 3-point percentages weren't that great either when he started shooting them with more frequency last season. He got better with repetition, and so will Nicholson if he puts in the work. But it's clear that Nicholson's shot chart is all out of whack right now.
The numbers are damning.
This season, Nicholson has been no better than a replacement-level player and that's caught the attention of Magic fans. The common criticism levied isn't even about him. There are those within the Magic fanbase who feel Nicholson's development has been affected negatively by the fact he's been in and out of the rotation all season, and hasn't seen consistent playing time.
It's certainly a valid criticism to an extent. For much of the season, Nicholson performed like a player that didn't know when he'd expect to get the nod from Vaughn. When he did play, it always felt like Nicholson was trying to score 20 points a game to make up for lost time.
That's a big reason why the Magic ultimately bought out Davis' contract. To give a player like Nicholson the minutes he needed to further his development. But that hasn't happened. Nicholson is still not playing up to his potential.
For all the good that the Magic have done this season in developing most of their young players, the failure of Nicholson has been glaringly obvious. The Magic can only hope they can rebuild Nicholson's confidence so he can get back to being the player he was in his rookie season.

Materials engineering deals with the applied science and engineering of both metallic and nonmetallic materials, including their production, processing, properties, and applications. The materials engineer is concerned with various aspects of a broad field, which includes metal extraction, the forming and fabrication of materials, engineering behavior of metals and alloys, and the processing and properties of ceramics and polymers. Materials and their properties are an important design consideration in many engineering projects; in fact, in many cases the success of major new technologies hinges critically upon new and often unforeseen demands on materials performance. Careers in Materials Engineering Metals and materials engineers work in a variety of activities, such as manufacturing, research and development, design, sales and marketing, technical services, quality control and testing, management and administration, and teaching. You may find yourself leading a failure investigation at an aircraft crash site, purchasing multi-million dollar equipment in Europe or Asia for the steel industry, helping turn fuel cells from a technical vision to a commercial reality, making computer processors smaller and faster, or recovering copper from a five-kilometer long mound of ore high up in the Andes Mountains.

Grant Miller: "Unfortunately we all watch TV. That's all hearsay. Who's Nelson Rios?"
Nelson Rios: "I did see the car that this Lee person used. I was outside in the middle of the street when it happened. But I did not witness the shooting. Everything else about changing the story, stuff like that -- that is not true. That is a complete lie. She did not do that at all. She came to my house after everything that happened. Yeah, definitely. And we spoke. But she did not say anything about changing my story at all."
Rios declines to disclose details of his conversation with Denise Calvo. "I don't want to talk about it anymore," he says. "I'm just going to stop the conversation right here. If I'm called to testify I want to make sure I have my story together. And I'm not going to add or subtract from it. I'm going to say what happened, what I saw."
He says he is not a friend of Denise and has always maintained a distance from his neighbors. "I didn't know her at all," he reports. "I know she lived down the street, that was it. Like I told the police, I keep my neighbors very far away from me. The less I know the better. If I see something going on, I call the police, but I will not get involved."
Attorney Joseph Rosenbaum: "[Denise's] conversation with Nelson was about a week after the homicide. It was about the car that Lee was in. I think he saw the car, and I think she had questioned him about the car. She was trying to figure out what happened."
They said that Denise Calvo had a very bad temper and had been involved in several problems related to road rage.
Michael Miller said that he had spoken with Denise Calvo at the wake for José Calvo. During the conversation she said, "I had to shoot him."
Michael Miller: "She said that. That's correct."
It was Michael Miller's impression that she was talking about José Calvo not Anthony Craig Lee.
Michael Miller: "No. When she said she had to shoot him, the only person I was aware of that she was shooting at was the bad guy."
Michael Miller said that Denise Calvo had told him about meeting Lee's mother years ago.
Michael Miller: "What I said was, years ago Denise had told me about a black lady she met in Coconut Grove and that she was helping this lady. I never met the lady. Denise never spoke to me after the shooting and said, 'By the way, you know the shooter's mother is' -- whatever she was doing with her. My feeling is they [Coffey and Burke] put the whole hour together, just sort of threw it together, and said, 'Is this what they said?' There are little bits of truth in there. And then they sort of built it the way they wanted to."
He said that many people think that Denise Calvo was purchasing drugs from the mother as well as Lee.
Grant Miller and Michael Miller said that they have some neighborhood men who act as unofficial security for their business. One of those men, who they said they did not want to reveal, told them some time ago that Denise Calvo had showed him a handgun that she kept in her handbag.
The Millers don't dispute this summation by the FDLE agents. More important to the murder case, however, is the weapon Denise used to shoot Anthony Lee. That gun remains shrouded in mystery. "They [detectives] have not to this point released any information on that gun for some reason," says the Miami Police Department's Delrish Moss. "They have the information. They know what type of gun it is. They know who it's registered to. They just haven't released it yet."
During the September 26 search of the Calvo residence, MPD detectives and FDLE agents confiscated a handgun -- a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson -- from a desk drawer. In Florida it is legal to keep a gun in the home; no permit or license is required. But to legally carry that gun outside -- in a purse or under the seat of a Mercedes-Benz -- a concealed-weapon permit is mandatory. Neither Denise nor José Calvo had such a permit at the time of the murder, according to the state agency that issues them. Records show that José Calvo applied for a permit in July 2003, but the application was returned because he'd failed to include his occupation, as required by law.
They said that she had been a very promiscuous person and had sex with many people, both male and female. She and José Calvo were also involved in some multiple partner relationships. They said that she was also having sex with some of the people she was obtaining drugs from in the Grove.
Grant Miller: "That's what they [Coffey and Burke] are saying. They're trying to entangle us."
They said that a man by the name of Miles Jennings in the Grove had a cousin who was "doing her."

(Greek: psyche, mind; therapuo, cure)
Name for the process of using the mind to influence the body when ailing, and help to relieve it or cure it entirely. It is no new thing, but as ancient as humanity; nor does it require any recondite knowledge or skill, since it is a matter of common experience. There is a great deal of quackery masquerading under the name. Christian Science relies on the process to a great extent. Unfortunately those who recommend and practise it do not believe in the existence of a soul as the principle of human life, but only in forces of one kind or other that constitute life.New Catholic Dictionary

Pro: Older drivers should retake driver's test
By by Dianna Wray - firstname.lastname@example.com
Feb. 26, 2012 at 10:05 p.m.
Updated Feb. 26, 2012 at 8:27 p.m.
Should older drivers be tested?
The day you turn 16 in Texas is the day you can finally take the test for that ultimate symbol of freedom - a driver's license.
As the law stands, that will be the last driving test you are ever legally required to take.
As you grow and age, your sight and reflexes may deteriorate, but the state will not test your ability to operate a vehicle or your knowledge of the rules of the road unless something alerts them.
More than 20 million drivers in the United States are older than 70, according to a 2009 Federal Highway Administration study. Elderly drivers are not found to be a significant danger to other drivers, but they are more likely to be seriously injured or killed if in a wreck, according the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
On reaching the age of 79, seniors citizens are required to renew their licenses in person. Those 85 and above must renew their licenses every two years. Their eyesight may be tested, but they aren't required to take a written test or a driving test. States may place restrictions on drivers based on their abilities, stating that they should not drive at night or on high-speed roads, but no driving restrictions are based solely on age. Should there be?
Older drivers should be required to take driving tests for safety reasons.
"You get older, your reflexes slow down and if you aren't tested often, you could have some impairment that will make them dangerous on the road," Tiffany Lankford, of Cuero, said.
Elderly drivers tend to be involved in certain types of accidents, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, particularly failure to yield the right of way.
While the number of fatalities has seen a steady decline in recent years, seniors are still the age bracket with the highest number of fatalities, according to a 2008 institute report.
Eddy Hollander, of Yoakum, agreed that elderly people should be tested.
"I think so. There are just too many accidents that could be prevented," Hollander said. "When you get older, your reflexes slow. You don't react as quickly."
When seniors are involved in these types of accidents, the chance of serious injury or death is much higher because their bodies are more fragile, according to a 2002 British Medical Association study.
Senses deteriorate as people age, according to the institute, and while they may deteriorate at different rates, elderly people are more likely to be taking medications that will impair their driving abilities in addition to the natural losses.
Debra Garner, the director of the Victoria County Senior Citizens Center, said she was in favor of having people of all ages tested regularly to make sure they are capable of safely operating a vehicle.
"I think it's something everyone should have to do," she said.
At 58, Hollander said, he has noticed his own reflexes are not as quick as they used to be. The state should require people to prove they can still operate a car safely once they have reached a certain age, to protect both elderly drivers and the other drivers on the road.
Lankford said she understands some elderly people may not want to give up their licenses because they don't have anyone else to take care of them, but a driving test would help those who may be unable to drive a chance of being evaluated and taken off the road.
"I can see both sides, but testing would be a good way to make sure they are still able to safely drive," she said.

I received more than an education in RIT'S Department of Psychology; I received an experience that rivals traditional competitive programs. Here, I was able foster a sense of academic direction with different track courses, have a sense of community through department and college sponsored events, and gained invaluable insight to my career options after I completed my co-ops. Very rarely will you find a program that provides academic and research independence, features a multidisciplinary faculty, and a system with years of experience helping students find paid internships.

I can't think of one major game where when Asian teams are participating, NA teams are considered stronger. Of the top of my head, right now. In LoL and Starcraft 1 and 2, North America is pathetic compared to how the Asian players and teams play. It's funny though, I have to say North America was on the top of EVERYTHING, economically, technologically etc. Now they are just starting to lag behind the rest of the world...even in video games. Also awesome meta in the games so far, really enjoying the change. Those Asian teams are incredible at adapting O.o Downvoting? Typical
fighting games asians win even in single player game asians hold all the records in speed running and highscores I dont know about counterstrike though
Call of duty?
?? ???
Bahaa this is hilarious, hours ago everyone was saying TSM would win, and now everyone has jumped ship
Wrong. Counter-strike, painkiller, unreal tournament, Quake, COD, etc.
YuI Brenner
FPS is still ours. But that is because there are no Asian teams. It's mainly NA and EU.
Yea those white devils focus too much on being good at physical sports.
FPS, marvel vs capcom 3, super mario 64

Finding the minimum information for cemetery records
To find an individual's place of death in cemetery records, you must at least know the individual's name at time of death and possible areas where the individual may have been buried. If you do not have the minimum information to locate a cemetery record, you can either: Get help finding some of the minimum information by selecting the following item, click the Back button at the top of this window to return to the list of other places where you can find places of death, or read the paragraphs below for a few additional tips. Finding cemetery records Occasionally you can find indexed cemetery records. These indexes provide you with a convenient way to find out whether or not your ancestor is in a particular cemetery. Check with libraries and genealogy societies in the area -- they may know if any indexes exist for the records that you need. Genealogy.com, Inc. also has Family Archives containing cemetery records. The FamilyFinder Index, a feature of Family Tree Maker software and also available for searching at FamilyTreeMaker.com, is an index of over 220 million names from census records, marriage records, Social Security death records, actual family trees, and more. This feature can help you by telling you if your ancestor's name is actually listed on one of the cemetery CDs Genealogy.com sells. Using the FamilyFinder Index couldn't be easier -- all you need to do is enter the names of your ancestors right into your own computer. If the FamilyFinder Index tells you that your ancestors are listed, then it's simple to locate your ancestor's record. For more information about FamilyFinder, or for information about purchasing CD-ROM indexes, see the topic All about FamilyFinder. Finding places of death Another place to check for a death date is a funeral home, because they often keep records about each individual that they deal with. Try calling several funeral homes in the area where your ancestor lived. You can get the names of funeral homes either through the phone book or the American Blue Book of Funeral Directors, published in New York by the National Funeral Directors' Association. This book may be available through local community libraries and genealogical libraries. The funeral homes you contact may have records about your ancestor, or may be able to tell you the names of funeral homes that existed when your ancestor lived in the area. If the individual was a veteran who served and was killed in the Korean or Vietnam War, you may be able to find a place of death through the death records in the Military Index on the FamilySearch computer at your local Family History Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Family History Library has all other wars indexed on microfiche. You only need to know the war and the veteran's name. Local community and genealogy libraries may also have war indexes. Contact individual libraries for their holdings. Make sure to check photo albums, scrapbooks, diaries, and family Bibles at home. See the topic Finding information at home for more information. Also check for local histories. See the topic Finding previous research. Return to the Main Menu of the Genealogy "How-To" Guide |

Go Back
In a flowered dell the Lady Venus stood, Amazed with sorrow. Down the morning one Far golden horn in the gold of trees and sun Rang out; and held; and died.… She thought the wood Grew quieter. Wing, and leaf, and pool of light Forgot to dance. Dumb lay the unfalling stream; Life one eternal instant rose in dream Clear out of time, poised on a golden height.… Till a swift terror broke the abrupt hour. The gold waves purled amidst the green above her; And a bird sang. With one sharp-taken breath, By sunlit branches and unshaken flower, The immortal limbs flashed to the human lover, And the immortal eyes to look on death.
Now that we've done our best and worst, and parted, I would fill my mind with thoughts that will not rend. (O heart, I do not dare go empty-hearted) I'll think of Love in books, Love without end; Women with child, content; and old men sleeping; And wet strong ploughlands, scarred for certain grain; And babes that weep, and so forget their weeping; And the young heavens, forgetful after rain; And evening hush, broken by homing wings; And Song's nobility, and Wisdom holy, That live, we dead. I would think of a thousand things, Lovely and durable, and taste them slowly, One after one, like tasting a sweet food. I have need to busy my heart with quietude.
All night the ways of Heaven were desolate, Long roads across a gleaming empty sky. Outcast and doomed and driven, you and I, Alone, serene beyond all love or hate, Terror or triumph, were content to wait, We, silent and all-knowing. Suddenly Swept through the heaven low-crouching from on high, One horseman, downward to the earth's low gate. Oh, perfect from the ultimate height of living, Lightly we turned, through wet woods blossom-hung, Into the open. Down the supernal roads, With plumes a-tossing, purple flags far flung, Rank upon rank, unbridled, unforgiving, Thundered the black battalions of the Gods.
Hand trembling towards hand; the amazing lights Of heart and eye. They stood on supreme heights. Ah, the delirious weeks of honeymoon! Soon they returned, and, after strange adventures, Settled at Balham by the end of June. Their money was in Can. Pacs. B. Debentures, And in Antofagastas. Still he went Cityward daily; still she did abide At home. And both were really quite content With work and social pleasures. Then they died. They left three children (besides George, who drank): The eldest Jane, who married Mr Bell, William, the head-clerk in the County Bank, And Henry, a stock-broker, doing well.
If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave once her flowers to love, her ways to roam; A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
Warm perfumes like a breath from vine and tree Drift down the darkness. Plangent, hidden from eyes Somewhere an `eukaleli' thrills and cries And stabs with pain the night's brown savagery. And dark scents whisper; and dim waves creep to me, Gleam like a woman's hair, stretch out, and rise; And new stars burn into the ancient skies, Over the murmurous soft Hawaian sea. And I recall, lose, grasp, forget again, And still remember, a tale I have heard, or known, An empty tale, of idleness and pain, Of two that loved -- or did not love -- and one Whose perplexed heart did evil, foolishly, A long while since, and by some other sea.
Oh! Death will find me, long before I tire Of watching you; and swing me suddenly Into the shade and loneliness and mire Of the last land! There, waiting patiently, One day, I think, I'll feel a cool wind blowing, See a slow light across the Stygian tide, And hear the Dead about me stir, unknowing, And tremble. And I shall know that you have died, And watch you, a broad-browed and smiling dream, Pass, light as ever, through the lightless host, Quietly ponder, start, and sway, and gleam -- Most individual and bewildering ghost! -- And turn, and toss your brown delightful head Amusedly, among the ancient Dead.
Before thy shrine I kneel, an unknown worshipper, Chanting strange hymns to thee and sorrowful litanies, Incense of dirges, prayers that are as holy myrrh. Ah, goddess, on thy throne of tears and faint low sighs, Weary at last to theeward come the feet that err, And empty hearts grown tired of the world's vanities. How fair this cool deep silence to a wanderer Deaf with the roar of winds along the open skies! Sweet, after sting and bitter kiss of sea-water, The pale Lethean wine within thy chalices! I come before thee, I, too tired wanderer, To heed the horror of the shrine, the distant cries, And evil whispers in the gloom, or the swift whirr Of terrible wings -- I, least of all thy votaries, With a faint hope to see the scented darkness stir, And, parting, frame within its quiet mysteries One face, with lips than autumn-lilies tenderer, And voice more sweet than the far plaint of viols is, Or the soft moan of any grey-eyed lute-player.
Slowly up silent peaks, the white edge of the world, Trod four archangels, clear against the unheeding sky, Bearing, with quiet even steps, and great wings furled, A little dingy coffin; where a child must lie, It was so tiny. (Yet, you had fancied, God could never Have bidden a child turn from the spring and the sunlight, And shut him in that lonely shell, to drop for ever Into the emptiness and silence, into the night. . . .) They then from the sheer summit cast, and watched it fall, Through unknown glooms, that frail black coffin -- and therein God's little pitiful Body lying, worn and thin, And curled up like some crumpled, lonely flower-petal -- Till it was no more visible; then turned again With sorrowful quiet faces downward to the plain.

They say there's a high windless world and strange, Out of the wash of days and temporal tide, Where Faith and Good, Wisdom and Truth abide, `Aeterna corpora', subject to no change. There the sure suns of these pale shadows move; There stand the immortal ensigns of our war; Our melting flesh fixed Beauty there, a star, And perishing hearts, imperishable Love. . . . Dear, we know only that we sigh, kiss, smile; Each kiss lasts but the kissing; and grief goes over; Love has no habitation but the heart. Poor straws! on the dark flood we catch awhile, Cling, and are borne into the night apart. The laugh dies with the lips, `Love' with the lover.
How should I know? The enormous wheels of will Drove me cold-eyed on tired and sleepless feet. Night was void arms and you a phantom still, And day your far light swaying down the street. As never fool for love, I starved for you; My throat was dry and my eyes hot to see. Your mouth so lying was most heaven in view, And your remembered smell most agony. Love wakens love! I felt your hot wrist shiver And suddenly the mad victory I planned Flashed real, in your burning bending head. . . . My conqueror's blood was cool as a deep river In shadow; and my heart beneath your hand Quieter than a dead man on a bed.
These hearts were woven of human joys and cares, Washed marvellously with sorrow, swift to mirth. The years had given them kindness. Dawn was theirs, And sunset, and the colours of the earth. These had seen movement, and heard music; known Slumber and waking; loved; gone proudly friended; Felt the quick stir of wonder; sat alone; Touched flowers and furs and cheeks. All this is ended. There are waters blown by changing winds to laughter And lit by the rich skies, all day. And after, Frost, with a gesture, stays the waves that dance And wandering loveliness. He leaves a white Unbroken glory, a gathered radiance, A width, a shining peace, under the night.
Not with vain tears, when we're beyond the sun, We'll beat on the substantial doors, nor tread Those dusty high-roads of the aimless dead Plaintive for Earth; but rather turn and run Down some close-covered by-way of the air, Some low sweet alley between wind and wind, Stoop under faint gleams, thread the shadows, find Some whispering ghost-forgotten nook, and there Spend in pure converse our eternal day; Think each in each, immediately wise; Learn all we lacked before; hear, know, and say What this tumultuous body now denies; And feel, who have laid our groping hands away; And see, no longer blinded by our eyes.
He wakes, who never thought to wake again, Who held the end was Death. He opens eyes Slowly, to one long livid oozing plain Closed down by the strange eyeless heavens. He lies; And waits; and once in timeless sick surmise Through the dead air heaves up an unknown hand, Like a dry branch. No life is in that land, Himself not lives, but is a thing that cries; An unmeaning point upon the mud; a speck Of moveless horror; an Immortal One Cleansed of the world, sentient and dead; a fly Fast-stuck in grey sweat on a corpse's neck. I thought when love for you died, I should die. It's dead. Alone, most strangely, I live on.
In the grey tumult of these after years Oft silence falls; the incessant wranglers part; And less-than-echoes of remembered tears Hush all the loud confusion of the heart; And a shade, through the toss'd ranks of mirth and crying Hungers, and pains, and each dull passionate mood, -- Quite lost, and all but all forgot, undying, Comes back the ecstasy of your quietude. So a poor ghost, beside his misty streams, Is haunted by strange doubts, evasive dreams, Hints of a pre-Lethean life, of men, Stars, rocks, and flesh, things unintelligible, And light on waving grass, he knows not when, And feet that ran, but where, he cannot tell.
Through my heart's palace Thoughts unnumbered throng; And there, most quiet and, as a child, most wise, High-throned you sit, and gracious. All day long Great Hopes gold-armoured, jester Fantasies, And pilgrim Dreams, and little beggar Sighs, Bow to your benediction, go their way. And the grave jewelled courtier Memories Worship and love and tend you, all the day. But when I sleep, and all my thoughts go straying, When the high session of the day is ended, And darkness comes; then, with the waning light, By lilied maidens on your way attended, Proud from the wonted throne, superbly swaying, You, like a queen, pass out into the night.
Today I have been happy. All the day I held the memory of you, and wove Its laughter with the dancing light o' the spray, And sowed the sky with tiny clouds of love, And sent you following the white waves of sea, And crowned your head with fancies, nothing worth, Stray buds from that old dust of misery, Being glad with a new foolish quiet mirth. So lightly I played with those dark memories, Just as a child, beneath the summer skies, Plays hour by hour with a strange shining stone, For which (he knows not) towns were fire of old, And love has been betrayed, and murder done, And great kings turned to a little bitter mould.
When she sleeps, her soul, I know, Goes a wanderer on the air, Wings where I may never go, Leaves her lying, still and fair, Waiting, empty, laid aside, Like a dress upon a chair. . . . This I know, and yet I know Doubts that will not be denied. For if the soul be not in place, What has laid trouble in her face? And, sits there nothing ware and wise Behind the curtains of her eyes, What is it, in the self's eclipse, Shadows, soft and passingly, About the corners of her lips, The smile that is essential she? And if the spirit be not there, Why is fragrance in the hair?
Now that we've done our best and worst, and parted, I would fill my mind with thoughts that will not rend. (O heart, I do not dare go empty-hearted) I'll think of Love in books, Love without end; Women with child, content; and old men sleeping; And wet strong ploughlands, scarred for certain grain; And babes that weep, and so forget their weeping; And the young heavens, forgetful after rain; And evening hush, broken by homing wings; And Song's nobility, and Wisdom holy, That live, we dead. I would think of a thousand things, Lovely and durable, and taste them slowly, One after one, like tasting a sweet food. I have need to busy my heart with quietude.
There was a damned successful Poet; There was a Woman like the Sun. And they were dead. They did not know it. They did not know their time was done. They did not know his hymns Were silence; and her limbs, That had served Love so well, Dust, and a filthy smell. And so one day, as ever of old, Hands out, they hurried, knee to knee; On fire to cling and kiss and hold And, in the other's eyes, to see Each his own tiny face, And in that long embrace Feel lip and breast grow warm To breast and lip and arm. So knee to knee they sped again, And laugh to laugh they ran, I'm told, Across the streets of Hell . . . And then They suddenly felt the wind blow cold, And knew, so closely pressed, Chill air on lip and breast, And, with a sick surprise, The emptiness of eyes.
I dreamt I was in love again With the One Before the Last, And smiled to greet the pleasant pain Of that innocent young past. But I jumped to feel how sharp had been The pain when it did live, How the faded dreams of Nineteen-ten Were Hell in Nineteen-five. The boy's woe was as keen and clear, The boy's love just as true, And the One Before the Last, my dear, Hurt quite as much as you. * * * * * Sickly I pondered how the lover Wrongs the unanswering tomb, And sentimentalizes over What earned a better doom. Gently he tombs the poor dim last time, Strews pinkish dust above, And sighs, "The dear dead boyish pastime! But THIS -- ah, God! -- is Love!" -- Better oblivion hide dead true loves, Better the night enfold, Than men, to eke the praise of new loves, Should lie about the old! * * * * * Oh! bitter thoughts I had in plenty. But here's the worst of it -- I shall forget, in Nineteen-twenty, YOU ever hurt abit!
Heart, you are restless as a paper scrap That's tossed down dusty pavements by the wind; Saying, "She is most wise, patient and kind. Between the small hands folded in her lap Surely a shamed head may bow down at length, And find forgiveness where the shadows stir About her lips, and wisdom in her strength, Peace in her peace. Come to her, come to her!" . . . She will not care. She'll smile to see me come, So that I think all Heaven in flower to fold me. She'll give me all I ask, kiss me and hold me, And open wide upon that holy air The gates of peace, and take my tiredness home, Kinder than God. But, heart, she will not care.
Dear! of all happy in the hour, most blest He who has found our hid security, Assured in the dark tides of the world that rest, And heard our word, 'Who is so safe as we?' We have found safety with all things undying, The winds, and morning, tears of men and mirth, The deep night, and birds singing, and clouds flying, And sleep, and freedom, and the autumnal earth. We have built a house that is not for Time's throwing. We have gained a peace unshaken by pain for ever. War knows no power. Safe shall be my going, Secretly armed against all death's endeavour; Safe though all safety's lost; safe where men fall; And if these poor limbs die, safest of all.

Art MoCo: "Human Candles" Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz have been collaborating since 1993 to produce some excellent examples of sassy sculpture for private collections as well as public art.
The Human Candles are life-sized wax candles that produce a terribly eerie effect as they are burned and the humans hollow out, wax dripping instead of the customary sweat. Their shoe/feet combinations are just as off-putting, and indeed, a lot of their work presents unexpected anatomical reminders or intrusions.
But it is their sense of humour that pushes forward the twists, and it is difficult to keep the corner's of one's mouth from rising up in appreciation.

Let's be frank - this is the mother of all metros - elegant and impressive compared with the rather grubby affairs in London and New York, and full of passion and style if you ever feel like putting it up against the soulless affairs of the Far East.
Many of Moscow's metro stations are architectural masterpieces, heavily themed-up with sculptures, reliefs and mosaics expounding the benefits of a healthy communist life, so expect a full-on dose of soldiers, workers, tractor-drivers, artists and sportsmen.

Background Rapid Prototyping or Solid Freeform Fabrication refers to a range of new technologies which construct physical three-dimensional objects by assembling thin layers of material under computer control.
Objects can be made which are extremely accurate, complex, and beautiful, and which no other technology can produce. For basic information on this rapidly evolving technology, I recommend this site or this site or search Google for new developments. Presently this is a somewhat expensive technology used mainly in high-end product design, and in research universities.

The affection would not make sense to those even just a bit older or younger, who might regard Weezer's guitar pop as clever and pleasing but also somewhat too shallow to have much lasting significance. Those of a certain age, though, experienced the group's 1994 eponymous debut release, known to fans as the Blue Album, as a thing of precise and overflowing emotion — 10 tracks that functioned like keys to secret locks in the teenage brain, opening up all the awkwardness and anxiousness of those melodramatic high school years.

The Lexus of binders?
Johnny (USA) - Feb 12 2012, 04:51 AM"I received my binder today, in black. The post office chose to open it, presuming for inspection, and taped it back up entirely. The garment, invoice and care card were still enclosed, all clean and in good condition, so no worries there. I put it on immediately and I cannot believe it. I'm sporting a healthy looking man-chest, bound down from a C-D cup, in utter comfort. The material is silky soft, the closure was easy to do on myself even with a shoulder injury and I feel no discomfort/rubbing/pinching like with compression vests. There is NO 'overspill' under the arms like with most binding solutions. I cannot recommend this binder highly enough. I'm never going back to rough compression vests. Thank you!"
If you are very petite, this works well
ChildPrince (USA) - Apr 05 2011, 23:10 PM"The biggest advantage to this binder is that it is so very hard to find V-neck compression shirts. I recommend this highly but should mention, it definitely is for someone who is very small in stature. I usually take the smallest size binder so this works for me, but just saying it does run small. +"

@Cafe41 - I know what you mean. When you buy underwear for yourself it gives you something nice to look forward to when you shower at night. I feel this way when I get a new cotton night shirt. I just can't wait to wear it. Lately, I have really taken a liking to fuzzy sleep socks.
I know that I must look funny, but I am so comfortable and that is what matters to me. I think that the only downside to cotton underwear is that is it is not as pretty or sexy as other types of underwear but I guess you have to decide what is important to you.

Research Interests
Research Interests: My research has focused on the anatomical correlates of information processing in the olfactory system. My colleague, Karen Wolfe, and I are using immunoelectron microscopy and light microscopy to make a comparative study of the expression of glutamate signaling molecules, such as NMDA receptors and glutamate uptake proteins, in the olfactory bulbs of mice and dogs. I have also developed a culture system of olfactory epithelium and olfactory bulb tissues that responds to airborne odorants. My colleagues and I hope to use the culture system to study signaling and signal regulation in olfactory receptor neurons and olfactory bulb neurons. On a different topic, I am studying whether web-based technology contributes positively to student performance in the gross anatomy laboratory.
Teaching Responsibilities: Dr. Josephson is the course coordinator and lectures in Veterinary Neuroanatomy for the Veterinary Neurosciences course for first year veterinary students. She also teaches a graduate level neuroanatomy course

"The car is a huge number of different specialties that go into one machine," said Dor Efroni, one of the project's managers. "No one thing is more important than the next. Each small aspect needs to be perfect." Last year, Efroni worked on the car's steering system; this year he's in charge of the gearshift. His goal, he said, is to find the optimal balance between the engine's weight and the car's acceleration.
The main difference between last year's model and the current one is that the motor oil is now in a container next to the engine rather than under it, which allows for the engine to be lower and the car faster. Last year's car went from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds.
After the car is designed on screen, the students work with Israeli auto shops to build the parts, often using their own street-legal cars to move parts from the Negev up north. Students from Jerusalem's Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design fashion the car's siding.
Efroni wants the car done by July, followed by testing and driving training before it is shipped to Italy in September.
"It's a crazy feeling," Efroni said of the competition. "It's four days of a huge high."
Dekel and Efroni both said they would pursue jobs building Formula cars if the industry existed in Israel, but the country has no racetracks or racing teams.
With the opening of the Bnei Shimon complex, which has been in the works for nearly a decade, that may change. The complex will feature a 1.3-mile paved track for rally cars and motorcycles, and a school for race-car driving.
At a later stage, the 80-acre complex will include an automobile museum and a track suited to Formula cars. For now, Karavany hopes foreign drivers will be drawn by Israel's weather, which allows for driving in winter when racing is impossible in Europe.
Backers of the project also hope the driving school will help fix a chronic problem in Israel: deaths on the road. "When someone learns safe driving and race-car driving, only then will he learn his limits as a driver," said Zion Ofri, a lead investor in the Bnei Shimon complex. "Then he learns to drive cautiously."
Some in the small world of Israeli motor sports would rather see the country invest in races featuring stock cars and motorcycles, which could use the Bnei Shimon track next year, rather than Formula 1.
But for enthusiasts like Dekel, the chance to drive on the streets of Jerusalem is an experience unlike any other. "It was like being Madonna's opening act," he said. "To make so many people happy was like magic."

Mount Kinabalu National Park
Travel Guide
Borneo is known for its abundant natural wonders, but Kinabalu National Park may just be the most spectacular. The main attraction is Mount Kinabalu, a 4,095-metre-tall monster of granite that takes the title of the tallest mountain in Malaysia by a long shot.
If you've been hoping to cross "climb a mountain" off your bucket list, this is the place to do it. No special equipment is needed to climb Mount Kinabalu -- just a good pair of shoes and a light jacket -- and more than 40,000 people attempt to reach the summit each year. The youngest climber on record was just four and the oldest was 90. Most climbers take two days to reach the summit, but if you're in excellent shape it's possible to do it in one day. All climbers require a climbing permit, insurance and a mountain guide.
Even if you have no plans to climb the mountain, Kinabalu National Park has plenty to offer nature lovers. The park was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000 for its spectacular flora and fauna, like insect-eating pitcher plants, wild orchids, giant Rafflesia flowers and tropical birds. Also in the surrounding area are the Kundasang War Memorial and the Poring Hot Springs, where you can soak your weary legs in pools of mineral water.
As Kinabalu Park is run more like a business than a national treasure, if you want to stay within the park or climb the mountain you'll have to deal with overpriced Sutera Sanctuary Lodge. Alternatively, a number of simple guesthouses and chalets lie within walking distance of the park entrance.
As Kinabalu National Park is just 88 kilometres from Kota Kinabalu (the city was named for the mountain, not vice versa), it's possible to visit as a day trip. However, we highly recommend an overnight stay to enjoy the cooler clime and glimpse the peak at sunrise before it disappears into the morning mist.
All visitors to the park pay a conservation fee of 15 ringgit for adults and 10 ringgit for children under 18. Malaysian citizens pay significantly less.
Kinabalu National Park is located about 88 kilometres east of Kota Kinabalu along the road to Sandakan. You'll find everything you need clustered around the park entrance including restaurants, guesthouses, taxi stand and bus stop. The nearest ATM is in the town of Kundasang eight kilometres away. It's a further 40 kilometres to Poring Hot Springs.

Theater opens in Far East El Paso, residents remember downtown theaters
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — The ever expanding Far East El Paso is getting a new state-of-the-art movie theater. But before we delve into the future of movie-going, we'll look into El Paso's past.
Three prominent movie theaters thrived in Downtown El Paso, now only one stands but El Pasaons fondly remember what going to the movies was all about.
Decades have passed since the colon was a theater and not a retail business.
"Yeah, my mom told me about back in the 50s and 40s it used to be a theater," Mario Tegeda, a Downtown El Paso resident said.
And just as much time has tick-tocked away since anyone walked through a building called the Alhambra Theater. "I have a go with my father and mother and my sister go watching movies," Oralia Vitela-Chavez, of San Elizario explained. It's now known as Tricky Falls, but Vitela-Chavez remembers watching cartoons there when she was a little girl. "It's very exciting. Very, very excited."
One historic theater managed to stay put and has been renovated - The Plaza.
With El Paso's growth, residents are seeing theaters built all over the Sun City, including in the Far East. "This is one of the areas that El Paso is growing and it just makes perfect sense to have a brand new movie theater," James Meredith, the Head of Marketing of Cinemark said. The new Cinemark 'Next Gen', is the first of its kind in El Paso. "All of the latest and greatest amenities in customer preferred options are all in one place, under one roof."
Movie goers can even buy alcohol -- and get popcorn at self-serve concessions. "Every single auditorium has 3D, 2D capability so you're able to watch the movie the way you would like to watch it."
A lot has changed since these theaters were built. It's not just where we watch our movies that's changed over the past 50 years, it's also how we watch them. "Instead of relying on 35 mm film, which tends to wear out," Meredith explained. Now, they watch it on a hard drive. "The very last time you might see a movie. It will be as sharp, as crisp, and as clear as the very first time that you saw it"
For some El Pasoans, it's fun to remember, but they're even more excited about the future.
Cinemark Next Gen will be opening on Friday. Cinemark Bistro on the West side, is slated for opening in mid-November.
