While the suggestion of electoral connivance between Obama and Medvedev has made little impression in Russia, which has just been through its own carefully orchestrated presidential campaign, Romney's comments hit like a bomb.
"It came as a shock. You just don't expect to hear that from someone who's running for US president," says Masha Lipman, editor of the Moscow Carnegie Center's Pro et Contra journal. "I thought an enemy was a country or force that seeks to kill Americans or destroy the US, not a country like Russia that has some civilized differences, which it expresses in forums like the [United Nations] Security Council."
Attitudes toward the US have fluctuated among Russians since the USSR collapsed more than 20 years ago. During the 1990s, the Kremlin sought to align itself with Western policies, but over the past decade, under now president-elect Vladimir Putin, it has carved out a more independent stance, often irritating Washington with uncooperative acts, such as two UN Security Council vetoes of resolutions aimed at international intervention in Syria's crisis.

Placenta poking encouraged at elementary school
"I think it takes after your side of the family."
Those of you still struggling with the trauma of having to dissect frogs during high school should thank the heavens above that you didn't attend Alpine Elementary School in Longmont.
Why? Because, according to Channel 4, fifth graders who took part in a demonstration about human circulation back in December were provided with surgical gloves and "encouraged to feel, poke and prod" human placenta. After which they were served a big lunch featuring tripe and offal.
Okay, we're joking about that last part. But just try to eat after watching this.

Seduce Your Way to the Top? Meet the Anne Boleyns of Washington, D.C.
Zoe starts out as a likeable character — occasionally annoying, but not morally corrupted … yet. However, the hunger for a newsworthy story becomes too great and she engages in an affair with Frank Underwood, a married congressman. I think this is when I started to really dislike her. She gets creepy towards the end of season one, while wearing Claire's clothes and examining which side of the bed Claire sleeps on. She tries to turn the tables on Frank and exert some of her own power.
I had the biggest problem with the Frank-Zoe storyline because of the big jump from "symbiotic relationship between ladder climbers" to "symbiotic relationship" with a side of "extramarital affair." Zoe could have written Frank's stories without engaging in "other activities" and would have gotten the same fame and attention that she craved. Frank needed Zoe just as much as she needed him — thus the affair was a sort of "extra" in their little arrangement. Zoe used Frank knowing that he was her ticket to the big time and that, eventually, she could blackmail him.

If this money belongs to the state, then it is essential to know under what category a person could obtain it, such as if it comes under the heading of helping the needy, rewarding higly-skilled persons, and so on. If you fit the description, then it is permissible for you to take the money, otherwise you should give it to those who fit the description. If you cannot do that, then spend it as needed for your work, and do not take any of it for yourself.
This director should fulfil the trust with which he has been charged, and not give this money to anyone except those who are entitled to it.
If you can advise him concerning that, then this is what you must do, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: âHelp your brother whether he is a wrongdoer or is wronged.â A man said: âO Messenger of Allaah, I can help him if he is wronged but what if he is the wrongdoer, how can I help him?â He said: âStop him or prevent him from doing wrong. That is how you help him.â Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6952.
If this director is giving you this from his own money, then do not accept anything from him, because that comes under the heading of giving gifts to workers that is forbidden in shareeâah, because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2597 and Muslim (1832) from Abu Humayd al-Saaâidi (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) appointed a man from al-Azd to be in charge of collecting the zakaah, and when he came, he said: âThis is for you and this was given to me as a gift.â He (the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) said: âWhy doesnât he sit in the house of his father or the house of his mother and see whether he is given anything or not? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, none of you takes anything from it but he will come carrying it on his neck on the Day of Resurrection, even if it is a camel that is groaning or a cow that is mooing or a sheep that is bleating.â Then he raised his hand until we could see the whiteness of his armpit and said: âO Allaah, have I conveyed (the message)? O Allaah, have I conveyed (the message)?â three times.
According to a version narrated by Muslim: Then he addressed us and praised and glorified Allaah, then he said: âI appointed a man from among you to do this task which Allaah has enjoined upon me, and he comes and says, âThis is your wealth and this is a gift that was given to me.â Why doesnât he sit in the house of his father and mother so that gifts will be brought to him if he is telling the truth.â
And Allaah knows best.

What would you do if the strip club you worked@ became a brothel?Adapt, fight or quit?This film follows 3 strippers facing this dilemma Read more
What would you do if the strip club you worked@ became a brothel?Adapt, fight or quit?This film follows 3 strippers facing this dilemma
About this project
What would you do if your workplace engaged in illegal labor practices that violated your rights as a worker?
Would you adapt to it, fight it, or quit?
License to Pimp is a feature documentary about the choices that three San Francisco strippers make as their workplaces engage in illegal labor practices. Strip clubs refuse to pay strippers even minimum wages & actually charge them for the privilege to work. I worked in half of San Francisco's strip clubs during the 1990s and witnessed how co-workers felt economically pressured to engage in prostitution to make their quotas to avoid being fired. Now as a filmmaker, I uncover current working conditions & try to find out how strip clubs are able to operate outside the law.
- What would you do to keep your job? 16 year old LOLA begins stripping after learning her mother has cancer & needs treatment. When her club increases their fees to $200, Lola can no longer just lapdance. As co-workers prostitute to make their fees, Lola must decide how far she'll push her own sexual boundaries to keep her job. Lola's story will be animated to protect her identity. Click HERE to watch a scene from Lola's story in Update #2: What Would You Do To Keep Your Job?
- What would you do to change the system? DAISY ANARCHY goes public about the strip clubs' illegal activities & demands that the city enforce the laws to uphold workers' rights. One agency drafts legislation to end the club violations. But a battle ensues as strip clubs & most surprisingly the strippers themselves rally in support of the illegal conditions. Click HERE to watch a film excerpt from Daisy's story (Update #4: What Would You Do To Stay In Control?).
- What would you do to stay in control? MARIKO PASSION quits stripping as the work becomes increasingly sexual. After filing wage complaints against former employers, she can no longer strip in San Francisco. She relocates to Los Angeles and teaches high school while moonlighting for an escort agency. Because the agency takes a 60% of the booking fees, Mariko goes solo. Can she work independently & safely and keep all of her earnings? Click HERE to watch film excerpts from Mariko's (Update #3: What Would You Do To Stay In Control?).
Each woman makes distinctly different decisions yet our collective journeys are woven into one story of strippers negotiating our labor rights within the sex industry.
During the years I stripped, I witnessed management become increasingly greedy as they took more & more of the dancers' tips. Clubs required between $150-$600 per shift per dancer. As women prostituted to pay the strip club pimps, I felt the emotional toll it took on all of us. I am in support of decriminalizing prostitution so that consensual adults can work free from arrest, stigma, + violence. However, if one feels pressured to engage in prostitution to keep her job, that's not sex positive. That's sexual labor that is exploited.
As stripping increasingly gains acceptance within popular culture, more and more women & teenage girls enter this industry and are unaware of their rights & workplace realities. This is why License to Pimp needs to be made & seen.
This documentary shows how each of the featured women approach various labor violations. The irony is that strippers are in fact entitled to the same labor protections as the average American worker—the laws just aren't enforced. This documentary isn't about the morality of doing sex work, but follows the paths of women trying to remain within the sex industry on their own terms. Through each worker's situation, License to Pimp offers tangible ways that sex workers try to better this industry so it's consensual, safer, fair, legal, & less violent.
FUNDING GOAL: $30,000 or nothing.
I've been fortunate enough to find talented filmmakers & interns who've worked for free or barely anything to get this documentary shot. But this isn't sustainable. Maintaining hi-quality production values & content requires bringing on an experienced crew. We need $30,000 to complete a Rough Cut of License to Pimp. If we miss our $30,000 goal by even a single dollar, we get NOTHING. ZIP. ZERO. ZILCH. NADA. $00,000. So it's ALL or NOTHING.
With $30,000, we can complete a Rough Cut of License to Pimp with each of the women's journeys laid out.
- We'll review 400 hours of footage and find gems that illustrate each character's path.
- We'll experiment with story structure by interweaving Lola, Mariko, Daisy, & my journeys to tell a compelling, unique story.
Lola participated in the film on the condition that her identity wasn't revealed. Her extensive interviews will come to life through animation. We will re-appropriate the visual style of erotic Latino comic books (aka porno-novellas or "historiettas") and re-tell Lola's story within a feminist context.
- We'll complete the storyboards for Lola's animation.
- The character designer will hand draw the art for Lola's animation, which will be scanned & be prepped to be animated.
- Using Lola's actual interviews as the basis for her story, we'll work with voice actors & replace Lola's audio.
- The animation crew will then take the artwork & use their magic to create the animatics, which is essentially a mock up of how Lola's story will play out in screen time.
- It'll include the dialogue & audio FX.
Successfully raising $30,000 means that our creative team can be…well creative. Instead of fundraising, we can focus on crafting the best possible story.

"Everything about this franchise is representative of the Ryans: first class, upright, ethical. In any decision, we always ask ourselves, 'What would the Ryan Family do?'"
Texas legend Nolan Ryan and Houston businessman Don Sanders run Ryan-Sanders baseball, which owns the Express and the Corpus Christi Hooks (Houston Astros AA affiliate).
And not surprisingly, like he did as a Hall of Fame player for more than two decades, Nolan Ryan sets the example for minor league baseball owners on how this business is run.
In Forbes' annual rankings of the top 20 most valuable minor league baseball franchises, both Ryan-Sanders franchises here in Texas make the list, with Round Rock coming in third overall at a value of $26 million (annual revenue of $14 million, operating income of $5.2 million) and Corpus Christi ranking 18th with a franchise value of $17 million (annual revenue of $9 million, operating income of $2.7 million).
In fact, Round Rock is one of only ten minor league baseball teams in the country, across all levels, to average over 8,000 fans per game.
No business succeeds without capitalizing on built in advanttages, and to that end, one of the best business partners that the Express and the Hooks have is the map of the United States. Geography. Quite simply, the proximity of both ball clubs to their respective parent teams allows for a synergy where fans of the MLB ballclubs can follow their team's future stars up close and in person at the minor league level.
In essence, the accommodating radius from Houston and Arlington to these affiliates allows fans of the Astros and Rangers to watch their players go from garage band to Grammy winners.
Before becoming the Rangers' AAA affiliate, Round Rock was the AAA farm team for the Astros. When the Astros decided to move their AAA functions to Oklahoma City, Round Rock didn't skip a beat at the turnstiles due in part to the Astros being backfilled by the equidistant Rangers.
"If it were any other Major League team besides the Rangers replacing the Astros as our parent club, it would cause a real challenge. Fans like to see the players who will eventually play for their big league club," said Fendrick.
In addition to the marketing benefits of geographic proximity, there's a tangible convenience factor for the parent ball club as well, particularly in the case of a AAA team like Round Rock, whose players are routinely summoned to the big league club.
"The closeness allows for our players to take a short car ride and be examined by Ranger doctors, if need be. If a player gets called up [to the Rangers] to play, they can be there in a matter of hours," explained Fendrick. "It makes a lot of sense."
Profit, convenience, fan friendliness, player recognition, brand awareness. All of these advantages of owning a minor league team within a short distance of the major league parent club are reasons why we've heard Astros owner Jim Crane extol the virtues of owning the team's minor league affiliates.
Crane makes no secret of his affection for The Woodlands as a possible site for the Astros' AAA affiliate once their contract with Oklahoma City expires after the 2014 season, for all the reasons Fendrick outlined in his overview of Round Rock's business model.
Crane hired former Ryan-Sanders CEO (and Nolan's son) Reid Ryan as the Astros' new President and CEO back in May. This sounds like a perfect project for him, doesn't it?
And Astro fans, because I know you're wondering, just know that Fendrick thinks that Jim Crane hit a home run in choosing Reid Ryan as the new President of the team, "A tremendous choice. The fans could have no better advocate in the front office than Reid Ryan."
Ask them their philosophy or mission, and every minor league baseball executive will give you some combination involving entertainment, customer service, and value.
But unless they are with the Dayton Dragons, they can't claim that they've successfully sold every seat since the inception of the franchise.
Yes, the Dayton Dragons, the single A affiliate for the nearby Cincinnati Reds, a Mandalay-owned franchise (same as the Frisco Roughriders) have sold out every single game since the franchise moved there from Rockford in 2000, breaking the professional sports record of 815 consecutive sellouts set by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Every. Single. Game.
When I spoke to Dragons Executive Vice President Eric Deutsch, "The Streak" had grown to 951 games with no sign of slowing down.
Simply put, to discuss the minor league baseball boom and not share the story of the Dayton Dragons is like being handed the box set for Season Three of The Sopranos and the DVD containing "Pine Barrens" is missing.
The Dragons are minor league baseball's gold standard, having won the John H. Johnson President's Trophy in 2012 for being "the complete baseball franchise — based on stability, contributions to league stability, contributions to baseball in the community and promotion of the baseball industry."
Ask Deutsch about the foundation for the team's success and on cue he lists his team's five principles that guide them: affordability, quality entertainment, customer service, community, and return on investment for sponsors and ticket holders.

Erin Tanti The police investigation into the death of 15-year-old Lisa Maria Zahra is focusing on two notes, believed to be the last messages left by the teenager and a 23-year-old supply teacher who is still undergoing intensive care at Mater Dei Hospital. Zahra and Erin Tanti were found on Wednesday, 19 March in an area called Ta' Zuta, at Dingli Cliffs, after they had been first reported missing to the police. Zahra was found dead, believed to be from injuries incurred in a fall, while Tanti suffered extensive injuries incurred in a fall at a spot that was some distance away from where Zahra was found. "Supportline 179 is run by a team of professionally trained volunteers" Appogg Supportline MaltaToday was told by two police sources connected to the investigation that both Zahra, a pupil of the St Michael's Foundation, and Tanti, a supply teacher of drama, each left a message to their loved ones. This newspaper is not aware of the contents of these messages. But new facts have emerged of the picture that preceded the tragic fall. The first missing person's report was filed at the police station at Valletta, by Tanti's sister. Tanti was at the time acting in the play Festen, adapted to the stage by the Masquerade theatre company. Police have also established which pharmacy in Valletta Tanti is believed to have purchased a substantial amount of aspirin tablets. Zahra's family have also said that it was Tanti who drove his car to Dingli, with Zahra as his passenger. In the whereabouts of Dingli, police say they found a bottle of whisky in Tanti's car that suggests the two drank and took aspirin before the tragic incident. The two persons were found on Wednesday19 March, after Tanti â€" who survived the fall because it may have been interrupted â€" managed to alert passers-by to his predicament. He was found to be suffering from serious injuries,and sent to Mater Dei's ITU where hewas in critical condition. Education minister Evarist Bartolo has said that the Council for the Teaching Profession, the body tasked with investigating complaints of misconduct by teachers, was "obliged†to investigate Tanti over any alleged breach of ethics over his relationship with the 15-year-old pupil. "Upon the conclusion of the police investigation, the Council for the Teaching Profession not only has the right but also the duty to investigate any complaint of gross negligence or breach of ethics,"Bartolo told MaltaToday on the case. Tanti, who was pursuing a theatre studies degree at the University of Malta until 2013, had been a drama tutor for the Masquerade theatre company since 2012, and was recently drafted in as a supply teacher at the St Michael's Foundation, a private school, having worked there for the past three months. The teachers' code of ethics, established by the Council for the Teaching Profession, says teachers are duty-bound and responsible to maintain a professional distance while in school and out of school. It also calls on teachers to avoid any inappropriate communication and relationships with students. Moreover, teachers are bound to 'have regard to the safety of students under their responsibility'. The funeral of 15-year-old Lisa Maria Zahra, which was expected to be held Saturday in Valletta, was postponed on a magistrate's order. The court decided to postpone the funeral to ensure that all investigations are concluded before her burial. The Zahra family claims that Tanti drove the teeanger to Dingli, and have been emphatic about the teacher's negligence of his duties towards the vulnerable teenager. "The cruel reality is that Lisa Maria Zahra was a vulnerable minor at the age of 15, and Erin Tanti is a 23-year-old teacher with the relevant responsibilities that come with this role,†the family said. "The tragic situation that developed after Tanti drove Lisa Maria to Dingli is one which is still subject to ongoing police investigations and prudence in any commentary, as well as the family's privacy in these difficult moments, should be respected at this time.†Appogg supportline Supportline 179 is the national helpline offering support, information about local social welfare services and other agencies, and a referral service to callers who requires support. Do call Supportline 179 for assistance on domestic violence, homelessness, suicidal tendencies, marital and/or family problems, loneliness, emotional difficulties, behavioural problems, depression and other mental health issues, human trafficking, substance abuse, gambling, amongst others; Supportline 179 is run by a team of professionally trained volunteers and receives calls on situations of child abuse, domestic violence, drug/alcohol/gambling problems, amongst others.

Link Between Arthritis And Your Running Shoes
If you are a runner, you might be interested to know that the shoes you wear while you exercise might actually be a source for injuries later in life. Though exercise has, without question, numerous health benefits, especially regarding cardiovascular health, it has long been acknowledged that running puts an inordinate amount of strain on your joints, particularly in the knees.
Researchers have now concluded that in certain instances, wearing running shoes while exercising exerted more stress on joints of the knees, hips, and ankles than running in bare feet, or for that matter, walking in high heeled shoes. As people get older, this could predispose them to developing arthritis in the lower extremities.
The study, published in the journal "PM&R: The journal of injury, function and rehabilitation," examined nearly 70 healthy adults (37 women and 31 men) who wore standard running shoes while running at least 15 miles per week. None of the subjects reported any history of joint injuries.
Each participant was issued a shoe that was representative of most standard, commercially available running shoes. They were then asked to run on a treadmill, with the shoes on and in bare feet, whereby their bodily motion was analyzed. What they found was that while wearing the shoes, subjects experienced an increased amount of torque at the hip (54%), knee (38%) and ankle (36%) joints, as compared to running in bare feet.
The findings highlight the fact that even though today's modern running shoes go a long way to protect our feet, they might in fact increase the amount of stress on our lower joints, i.e., our hips, knees, and ankles. This is in a large part the result of the elevated heel and the increased medial arch, both hallmarks of modern running shoe design.
Surprisingly, the effect on the knees that running shoes had was even more pronounced than the previously observed effect of high heeled shoes when walking. This is largely due to the fact that running exerts a great deal more stress than walking. The authors hope that their findings will encourage shoe makers to begin focusing more attention on reducing joint torque and stress in addition to protecting feet.
Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis in this country, affecting nearly 27 million Americans and accounting for nearly 25% of all visits to primary care physicians. It occurs as a result of joint cartilage wearing down over time and can gradually worsen with age. Currently there is no cure.
If you are experiencing joint pain or suspect you may have OA, talk to your primary care doctor or visit the website of the National Institutes of Health. Before engaging in any strenuous aerobic exercise, consult a physician or a trainer to structure a workout that best suits your lifestyle.

In a significant ruling regarding backlist e-book rights, a New York court this week held that e-book publisher Open Road infringed HarperCollins' copyright with its e-book edition of Jean Craighead George's 1973 bestselling children's book Julie of the Wolves.
"Having accordingly relied on the words of the contract, this Court holds that, by its language, the contract grants to HarperCollins the exclusive right to license electronic publications, a right which was infringed by Open Road in its unlicensed e-book publication of Julie of the Wolves," held judge Naomi Reice Buchwald.

@miriam98 - They do share some things in common, like outlining your marketing strategy, fulfillment operations and so forth. But the core of a profitability model is, of course, the word "profit." When I worked as a consultant for small businesses, I would ask them one simple question: how exactly are you going to make a profit?
Some businesses had no idea why they were pricing their products or services the way they were. They just thought they would price what the market would bear, or imitate the competition's pricing model. But in a profit model you have a formula—the way you arrive at your profit margin based on calculating all your expenses. This is what should be your main focus at all times.

I have bought a lot of things from Overstock over the years and I have to say this was one of the most impressive items for the money I have ever bought. I am a hughe Overstock fan in general and this was a great buy. The table is substantial and pretty heavy. Was very easy to put togeather (took about 45 min using a dinner knife because my screwdrivers have all managed to go missing) and it looks great.
Great quality table for the money. Easy to put together and most important looks great.
I bought the sofa table as well as an end table. I was apprehensive to make a furniture purchase online without seeing the item(s) in person, but I went ahead and took the chance. I was glad that I did. The pieces did not disappoint. They are well constructed and beautiful.
I had no idea when I ordered this table how nice it would be, the quality, the style, it's even all wood. I have to say that I read the reviews from others and their comments were entirely correct. The assembly was fairly easy even for a woman, like me. Bottom line, it's extremely well built, quality materials, the table is very well stabilized with the hardware included, a beautiful piece of furniture. I'm definitely going to enjoy it. If the other items in this line or from this brand are as nice, there's no way anyone could go wrong with their purchase. If I need anymore furniture, I will check this out before looking anywhere else. GREAT PURCHASE, LOVE THE TABLE!!!!!!!
Beautiful, substantial piece of furniture. It took a while to put together, but it was worth it. It was larger than I thought, but reallly beautiful quality. Highlly recommended.
If you are searching for a sofa table consider the Somerton Dwelling Gatsby Sofa Table. Some construction is necessary but it was not difficult to do. The table is exactly as described and More. The drawer is even felt lined!! This is a beautiful piece of furniture!!
I am very pleased with this sofa table. I have been looking for a sofa tabla for a long time. I love shopping Overstock the products are good the customer service is very good.
This is a beautiful table. It's a warm wood tone and looks very nice in my front hallway. The drawer in the front is lined on the bottom and it perfect for keys, mail, etc. I highly recommend this table!

Many of us have become aware that something incredibly profound is changing on our planet. We are sharing an amazing time of expansion on the planet which affects us all at a very deep cellular level.These times have been described in many of the metaphysical circles as The Great Shift, The End Times or The Ascension. What is Ascension? ...
This is a basic Primer to review the basic meaning and mechanics of the "Ascension" and discuss the various symptoms that we as humans may encounter in our evolution process. I have many articles and tools on the website that will help support your awareness to investigate and explore the impacts it has upon human beings, our planet and all of consciousness.
Humanity is undergoing a consciousness shift which requires a re-education of values and priority of which much of this information on this website is a guideline to support those awakening and guided to leadership through the transitional impacts this creates on the planet. It is also important to share this information in order to not feel a sense of isolation and fear from a myriad of possible unusual experiences that can result from the integration of our higher light-energy bodies that happens during our Ascension process. My desire to share this information comes from my very personal and frightening physical awakening process that dismantled my entire reality and ego in a very short period of time. I share my experiences with anyone who may need this information as I have had many unusual, mystical manifestations appear in my life since my spontaneous "kundalini" release several years ago. Those of us undergoing the first wave of awakening will be Ascension Guides for the balance of humanity who have not yet experienced a direct awakening or extra-dimensional contact. This website is dedicated to those endeavoring to evolve as Guardian Stewards in order to help participate and build the required consciousness structures this planet and humanity will require in the coming Age.
We realize that there is so much variety in the individual Ascension Stages and our material compiled here may be overwhelming to navigate. Please take in only what feels right for you and discard the rest. However, we have some quick suggestions on how to begin right now. Take a 30 day challenge with the 12D Shield and refocusing your Ego Mind and see the results you get with daily use!
The following is important information and steps to introduce you to the ES material and provide tools to utilize right away! Please browse and try out all the material as you feel guided, however, please note: the Ascension material is densely packed with information and often overwhelming for people newly acquainting with these terms. Take it in at your own pace, however, remain consistent and dedicated with your practice and you will experience many improvements, such as in mental and emotional freedom.
The content shared on this website is a chronology of direct experiences and telepathic communication and/or contact made with various levels of Interdimensional Intelligences that began for Lisa Renee in 1999. These communications continue always evolving. As nothing in the movement of consciousness is static, the variation of material presented is a reflection of one human being's Ascension initiation through a personal awareness of ET contact and through a series of lower and higher dimensional planes to experience a variation of multiple group consciousness fields during the Ascension Cycle. This Ascension pathway represented here is referred to as "Polarity Integration and Synthesis modeling". Lisa Renee is not a New Age Channeler. (read the difference here) Neither Lisa Renee nor the contents of this website are affiliated with the direct written study of - or relationship to - any other Ascension modality, Law of One doctrine, or human or nonhuman claiming to be a Teacher or participating within a "Guru" model in the physical plane. All content is presented to the reader as intended with the empowerment of the individual first and is for your personal discernment only. Please honor this Guardian consciousness work and take in only what resonates with you personally and discard the rest. There is no need for competition, enemy patterning or controlling Sacred Spiritual Sciences or Ascension technologies. These belong to all of humanity. This content is presented with the intention of Unity, Freedom, Compassion and the Sovereign Right for All beings, to be the revelation of the direct inner experience of the intelligence fields, that are the Eternal God Source. Purity of heart and listening to your inner God Spirit is All there Is. All paths ultimately lead to One. For One and For All: I am God! I am Sovereign! I am Free!

Loretta R. Quattrone, age 79, of 222 Spruce St., Ridgway, died early Friday morning, Feb. 17, 2012, at Elk Haven Nursing Home following a lengthy illness. She was born Nov. 27, 1932, in Ridgway, daughter of the late Clifford and Frances (Unick) Emmett. She married Joseph Quattrone on June 11, 1949; he survives.
The 13th installment of the Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous starts today and event organizers couldn't be happier with their plans for the week. In addition to carvers doing their thing on South Broad Street to Center Street, then Center Street down to Mill Street, and Court Street as well, they also will be performing at other locations.
Pennsylvania residents who want to support breast cancer research and programs can do so simply by checking off a box on their state tax return. The PA Breast Cancer Coalition's "Refunds for Research" campaign allows residents to donate part or all of their state refund by checking "yes" on line 35 of their PA 40 tax form. Kevin Smith, communications director for the nonprofit coalition, said for most people, directing their refund to the coalition on their tax return is an easy way of charitable giving.
Thursday's meeting of the Jay Township Board of Supervisors saw more infighting between board members as allegations of secret deliberations continue to surface. The split between members of the board was highlighted at Jay Township's re-organization meeting held this past January, during which Supervisor Murray K. Lilley's position as the township's equipment/road manager was terminated, effectively ending his tenure as an employee of the township.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch wrestling squad closed out their regular season Thursday evening by defeating the Bradford Owls by a 66-15 score at the SMAHS Dutch Oven on Senior Night. The Dutchmen finished the season with a 7-8 record. St. Marys won seven matches by forfeit last night. They also won four bouts by pin. "The kids that wrestled wrestled pretty well," said St. Marys coach Dominic Surra. "We've seen how far some of our kids have come. Gary Fledderman is wrestling well and Brian Carnahan is relearning the sport. He hasn't wrestled since elementary school," said Surra.

In what is perhaps the greatest line of ballyhoo ever penned, the trailer for Erle C. Kenton's The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) assures us, "Here is drama completely strange!" Unfortunately, there's not much all that strange about it—unless you've never seen a Frankenstein movie. This is the movie where the once-great series drops into the realm of the B picture, but it's a solid little B movie and the last of the Universal Frankensteins that can be taken reasonably seriously. It picks up where Son of Frankenstein (1939) leaves off—but with some not subtle rewritings. Ygor (Bela Lugosi) has somehow recovered from being pumped full of lead in the previous film. The boiling sulfur pit the Monster fell into has inexplicably hardened over. The happy villagers at the end of the preceding film have gotten all grumpy and torch-happy as villagers in these movies are wont to do and decide that dynamiting the castle—which has inexplicably changed dramatically from the Expressionist oddity of Son—will set things to rights. Well, what it really does is free the Monster from the dried sulfur (where he somehow got a different jacket and turned into Lon Chaney) so that he and Ygor can wander off to Vasaria and get Frankenstein's heretofore unmentioned other son, Ludwig (Sir Cedric Hardwicke), fix up the rundown Monster. Naturally, things don't go quite as planned and mayhem, murder, duplicity and brain-swapping follow. But it's agreeable enough, thanks to solid production values, Lugosi's amusingly wicked Ygor, Chaney's interesting take on the Monster, and the terrific Hans J. Salter music. Just don't expect the brilliance of the two James Whale films or the scope of Son of Frankenstein.

About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Samsung FTQ307NWGX offers cutting-edge technology at a decent price. A smooth-top surface and electronic controls make this induction range easy to clean. The oven, though, required some hand scrubbing, after the self-clean cycle was run. The oven boasts one-touch conversion for convection baking and roasting, and seven rack positions with three racks included. An added bonus: The unit offered one of the best warranty policies we saw.

He hasn't played against the US in the Olympics, to my knowledge, so he's still a relative unknown to fantasy baseball league owners.Plus, the last couple of Cubans to cross the 90 miles haven't panned out (as well as the Matsuis in 2003 and 2004), and I think people are starting to learn to take those players once they've become established rather than rely on them their rookie year.

Speeding Cop Fausto Lopez Sentenced to 100 Hours of Community Service
Lopez could have faced 90 days in jail for reckless driving charges, but because he entered a no contest plea he will instead get 100 hours of community service. He will also have to pay $3,300 in court costs.
In a case that made national headlines, Lopez was pulled over by the FHP trooper in October. He was late to a moonlighting job in Coconut Grove and was caught speeding 120 MPH on the Turnpike. The FHP trooper actually had to pull a gun on Lopez. The arrest set off something off a tiff between FHP and Miami officers that involved a botch attempt at a retaliatory ticket, a poop-smeared patrol car, and, eventually, a charity softball game.
According to SunPass records, Lopez had been clocked going over 100 MPH more than 114 times in the year prior to the stop, and was reportedly seen speeding even after the arrest.
Lopez has not been reprimanded by the Miami Police Department yet. They were waiting until the outcome of this case. He could lose use of his vehicle for up to six months.

Beware hidden costs of fashionable gadgets
PUBLISHED: 14 Nov 2011 00:06:00 | UPDATED: 14 Nov 2011 11:59:07PUBLISHED: 14 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 14 Nov 2011Brian Corrigan
Mobile device costs are a "time bomb" for department heads when budget time comes due. Photo: Reuters
Companies need to be aware of the hidden costs associated with arming employees with mobile gadgets in an attempt to make them more productive, analysts have warned.
Although the initial price of the latest tablet computers is not prohibitive, the ongoing cost of managing an entire fleet of mobile devices can mount quickly.
Andy Rowsell-Jones, a research director with technology advisory company Gartner, said organisations that provide gadgets to staff typically find that they have to upgrade wireless infrastructure in the office, buy mobile device management software to comply with security policies and insure gadgets against loss or accidents.
They must also stump up for data usage that, as they've already found out with smartphones, can rise sharply when these devices are used overseas.
Gartner has estimated that it can cost almost $1300 to connect a mobile device to the corporate network and organisations that fail to plan properly can be forced to increase the capacity of Wi-Fi networks by up to 300 per cent.
"At a time when budgets are constrained and other priorities are dominating, information technology departments are being forced to do something about mobile," Mr Rowsell-Jones said.
"The sensible ones charge them back to the business units, but fur is going to fly because those business units don't know how much these things can cost to support."
The cost issue is likely to come to a head when heads of departments take a closer look at annual expenses while preparing budgets before the start of each financial year.
"It will be interesting to see how they view these devices once they realise they are not free," he said. "That's a time bomb."
A rising number of organisations have provided board members, executive teams and certain departments such as sales or marketing with tablets since the launch of Apple's iPad in 2010.
Foad Fadaghi, a research director with local technology analyst company Telsyte, estimated that tablet sales in Australia would reach more than 1.2 million this year, of which a third would be sold through companies that supply directly to business. However, he pointed out that corporate use was even higher than that, because some organisations buy from high-street retailers.
Mr Fadaghi said it was important for companies to run trials before taking the plunge and making gadgets widely available to staff.
"There are a range of hidden costs but there are also productivity benefits, because you can work and collaborate from anywhere," Mr Fadaghi said.
"Forward-thinking organisations will do some planning before they make the jump."
There are more hidden costs on the horizon because the tablet market is still developing and the latest models can quickly become outdated. Where an organisation might expect staff to keep the same laptop for three to five years, the same employees are likely to start clamouring for a new tablet in less than two years.
"[Tablets] are used predominantly for private use and that creates a great sense of personal ownership," Mr Rowsell-Jones said.
"That impacts on budgets because these are devices of desire. The iPad is not sold as technology. It's a fashion accessory."

Sami George – Head Coach
Cheerleading Head Coach Sami George came to Notre Dame College in 2010 in dual capacity as an admissions counselor and head cheerleading coach. Due to the tremendous growth of the cheerleading program from 16 to 40 members, she has since been named fulltime head coach.
Prior to joining NDC, George was the head cheerleading coach at Baldwin-Wallace College for three years after serving as assistant coach for one year. George graduated Baldwin-Wallace with a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcasting and Mass Communications in 2005. She played softball at BW and was the captain of the cheerleading squad.
George is a graduate of Garfield Heights High School where she cheered, competed with Jammer's All Stars, performed on the high school dance team, and was a four-year letterman for softball. George is certified by the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches & Administrators (AACCA). She lives in Lakewood with husband Joe, an anesthesiologist resident at South Point Hospital.
"The past two years at Notre Dame have been incredibly rewarding," George says. "The tremendous growth of the cheerleading squad is testament to the hard work and dedication of both our students and staff. As fulltime coach I am excited to continue making cheerleading an integral part of our vibrant campus life."
Allison Kokely – Assistant Coach
Assistant Coach Allison Kokely is also a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. She succeeded George in being the captain of BW's cheerleading team. Aside from coaching, Kokely is currently teaching elementary school and working to earn her master's degree in special education.
Kokely, who is AACCA certified, began her cheering experience at Normandy High School. During that time she also competed locally and nationally for Ultimate Athletics of Ohio. In college she was a traveling instructor for Champion Cheer Central. She has also been a cheerleading coach at Midpark High School since 2010.
"It is such a pleasure to work with Sami, Mandy and Amy in a program that has become so successful in a few short years," she says. "I believe the tradition of family that we bring to Notre Dame has made a huge impact on our program and will continue to do so for years to come. I cannot say enough good things about my experiences with the College thus far and look forward to watching the school and our program continue to grow."
Amy Hafner – Assistant Coach
Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Amy Hafner also has a connection to Baldwin-Wallace where she coached for three years.
She is a graduate of Marietta College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Media with a minor in journalism, and was a member of the cheerleading team.
Hafner, who is AACCA certified, is a graduate of Westlake High School where she was an all-American cheerleader.
She spends her free time volunteering for Cleveland APL, Cleveland Indians Charities, and the Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland.
"This is an amazing opportunity to work with an energetic staff and build a program that this school will be proud of," Hafner says.
Mandy Means - Assistant Coach
Mandy is also a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College with a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Master of Education in Leadership in Higher Education. She was a captain under the coaching of Sami George. She also serves as an Admissions Counselor at Notre Dame College.
Means, who is AACCA certified, is a graduate of Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School where she was a three-year varsity letter-winner in cheerleading as well as captain of the varsity squad. She was also captain of the Honeybees Dance Team.
"It is a special pleasure to coach alongside of Sami, Amy, and Allison who have been wonderful role models in my life. Notre Dame College offers a tradition and school spirit unlike any other institution in the area. It is an especially exciting time to be a student at NDC because of its growing enrollment and addition of many academic and co-curricular programs!" says Means.

I bought the 60 as a backup for my 55" Edge, the weight is about the same so I figure the 4s with my current setup should work good. I may not be able to wait and just might put all the gear in the 60 and make the 55 my backup, if I do I'll post my results. But you never know between now and then if I come up with some extra money maybe I'll set it up with the recommended equipment and not worry about it.
Apr 02, 2011, 07:57 AM | |
I run my 57" Extra on 4S and it's a great setup. I have a GR-60, ZTW 85 amp ESC, and 4S 4000 mah 40C batteries (about 35-40 bucks a piece). At about 80 amps I'm getting 1200 watts on a 15x6 prop. Everything comes down cool because the components were selected and designed around 4S. It works quite well if the all of the components match properly, but if you are running a 500 KV motor like the Torque (and a lower amperage ESC) with a huge prop it's probably a bad idea and you should stick with 5S or 6S.

OK... I'll be interested to see? I do like a light setup.. Quote:

Tim.. the Edge flew heavy on the reaper 60.. We had to put 2 servos in the tail to help it ballance... I think I would have liked it better with a lighter setup.. I flew someones at seff.?? Maybe Mlt.. he had the 45.. It flew better than mine.. lower power but perfect.. HECK I had a reaper 45 on a SIG cadet on 4S It was AWEsome.. not enough power to hover.. BUT not far from it.. IT would slowly back down!!!!

Tim - A lot of people (incl. me) fly the 3DHS 57" Extra on a 4s setup. You need a 750-800kV motor capable of 70-80A, e.g. a Motrofly 3625-800. I fly mine with 14x6 for about 1000 wt total, most people go for 15x6, about 1200 wt. The nice part about it is, you can double these 4s batteries for an 8s setup on a 65-72 plane for about 2kwt total. I'm going to go 5s (or 6s.. not sure) with the EF Edge, though.

Curious as to some opinions here since we are talking setups on 4s. I had in the box a new Hyperion ZS 3025 10-Turn motor that I just put on a 57" 3DH Extra. I should have weighed it while I had it out but the specs say 6.95 oz's, add another ounce or so for prop adaptor and backplate, so roughly 8 ounces. Spun it up using a 15x7 Vox wooden prop with Rhino 3700 25c 4s battery and a Reaper 85 amp ESC and came out at 1150 watts at just around 85 amps. Thats after it settles down from initial peak. Could be an alternative for a real lightweight setup. I read that this ship flies best at around 1200 watts but maybe the weight being less would even that out. AUW is 4.5 Ilbs. My 2 concerns are:
1. The motor did get a little warm, 115 degrees after a couple minutes of running it at various throttle settings. Inflight airflow, maybe wind baffles may help this. 2. Would it be able to balance the big 60" Edge without adding noseweight. No sense in adding deadweight. Haven't really made a decision yet on the powerplant but I'm not going to buy a new set of 5-6 cell batts when I have all these 4 cells. Just thinking out loud and curious as to any thoughts. Steve |

Governor Martin O'Malley Moves to Repeal Death Penalty in Maryland
According to The Wall Street Journal, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley is pushing to ban capital punishment in the state. At a news conference in Annapolis, the Governor stated that the death penalty does not prevent violent crimes such as murder and that, in fact, the incident rates for murder in states that have capital punishment are higher.
The Governor plans to introduce a bill into the legislature for the full repeal of Maryland's death penalty. If the bill passes, Maryland would join the five other states that have abolished the death penalty as of 2007. These states include New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, and New Mexico. The majority of the nation still practices capital punishment.
