Kate Moss Diane Kruger Salma Hayek Couture Party Pictures
Kate, Diane, and Salma Open Prada's 24-Hour Museum
Kate Moss, Diane Kruger, and Salma Hayek got together for a Couture Fashion Week bash in Paris last night. The event was held to mark the opening of Prada's 24 h Museum. The project is the brainchild of Prada and Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli, and is open only for today. Things kicked off last night with a private dinner, then Kate took a turn in the DJ booth once the dancing began.
Salma walked inside the city's Palais d'Iéna alongside her husband, François-Henri Pinault. Neither Kate nor Diane had their main men by their sides. Joshua Jackson, Diane's boyfriend, has been busy at the Sundance Film Festival, while Kate's husband Jamie Hince evidently didn't make the trip to Paris. It was the end of a busy day for Kate. She started yesterday morning at a Mango press event in London, then made her way to Paris for the party with some of her friends, including Marianne Faithfull, Anna Wintour, and Emmanuelle Alt.

Crazy Clifton Hill
Clifton Hill is the most touristy street in Niagara Falls. Lining the street are all sorts of cheesy attractions, haunted houses, souvenier shops, Ripley's Believe it or Not, a Wax Museum (or 3). At night it's lit up like Times Square. There is nothing you need here but it is a place to get caught up in the excitement, or avoid like the plague. We wandered down it on the way to see the fireworks over the falls. On the way back up we stopped and played some cosmic blacklight mini golf. Good Times...

Tacky Tourism on Clifton Hill
Love it, hate it, or love to hate it. Clifton Hill is as tacky as it gets. Everywhere you turn somebody is selling something - a ride, a game, junk food. It seems the museums, haunted houses, and other attratctions here spend more money on their bigger than life exteriors than on the thing they're actually selling. I indulged one night and took my niece to a "4-D" movie. It was not as good as the 3-D movie I went to at my local Imax, but it was fun to participate in the insanity. The most interesting thing to me though was people watching and it was a good time just looking around at things. IF YOU TAKE KIDS HERE KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THEM. It is very crowded at night and there are lots of distractions for little wandering eyes. In short, spend as little time here as you can... Unless you like this sort of thing!

Day or night the sights are very beautiful stroll down Cliftonhill to the Falls a great way to spend the day or evening..There is so much to see and do all on one Street..
Guinness World Records Museum
The Guinness World Records Museum is one of the many museums and attractions that line Clifton Hill in the ultra touristy town of Niagara Falls.
Having visited the Falls, I was looking for something to do to kill the time while waiting for my bus back to Toronto....and this museum looked as interesting as any of the others!
I paid 12.80 CAD (February 2006) for a ticket and spent about an hour inside the museum reading about the various unbelievable feats that people have undertaken in order to claim their place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The museum is not particularly large, with the exhibitions housed on two floors. However, many of the exhibitions take the form of narrative descriptions and facts and so they don't take up much space. Consequently, there is a lot of information contained within this small museum.
The various records are split into categories within the museum. For example, you can read facts, take part in interactive activities and see video footage on records in the following categories:
Entertainment: for example, the most Oscars won for a film or an actor;
Music: for example, the most number one hits or the most albums sold by an artist;
Sport: for example, the most gold medals won or goals scored by a sportsperson;
Weather extremes: for example, the hottest, coldest, wettest and driest conditions ever recorded on Earth;
Eating feats: for example, the most hotdogs or eggs or chocolate bars consumed in a given time period;
People: for example, the world's tallest, fattest, heaviest, shortest man/woman;
Animals: for example, the world's fastest, deadliest, oldest creatures.
One of the World Record holders was the CN Tower (which I had visited a couple of days earlier) - the world's tallest free-standing tower!
You can return to the museum for a second time for the discounted price of 5 CAD within 2 days of your original ticket purchase if you so wish. Just keep your receipt and present it when you return. -
Clifton Hill
At first i just looked at all this madness...not quite believing it. It felt like i was in the middle of some carnival/amusement park. It is overcommercialized, totally touristy, totally tacky and kitschy.
You can just walk down the street and go through a million souvenir stores with Niagara Falls on any kind of clothing you can imagine (and some you probably couldn't). There are haunted houses, there are fortune tellers, there are rides of all kinds. I went late in the fall so it wasn't really even very crowded, i can just imagine what its like in summer when its packed. Even late in the season, it was busy. For kids it is probably much more entertaining,,,,It was fun anyway. A good place to lighten your wallet.- Theme Park Trips

The casino-area by Niagara falls.
To my utter surprise I saw that there is a casino and fun-area by Niagara falls. It surprised me as this seems so out of place, on one hand these amazing waterfalls and on the other hand casinos, not exactly as I had imagined Niagara falls beore I visited.
A Little Something for Everyone
The city of Niagara Falls is a popular resort area with something to delight every member of the family. I only wish I had more time to explore the various attractions here such as Ripley's... Believe It Or Not, in 1.5 months I've gone to 2 places which have Ripley's (the other being Genting in August) and I've yet to go inside any!

The kids love it
Clifton Hill is really the place to take the children. The attractions and rides are the closest thing to Blackpool, UK that I have ever come across yet with less style somehow. The choices are plain to see and great for the family - if you can afford it!
Much to do here!
Clifton Hill is comprised of a lot of tourist attractions and is also very crowded. The only attraction we went to was the wheel, which was well worth it. This was the first thing we did went we went to Niagara and was well worth the price. The ferris wheel booths are all air conditioned. They take you around 3 times for about 10.00/person.

More than just the falls!
If you want to take a break from fall-related activities, Clifton Hill is the place to go. There are lots of restaurants, night clubs, giftshops, amusement centers and other - sometimes bizarre - sorts of entertainment up and down the street. Children will have a blast! For my part, I had lots of fun just walking around, listening to (bad) karaoke singers and trying on funny hats in the giftshops!

Hahaha, this one kept me laughing for a couple of minutes: "The Hamburger Monster"! How do they think of it!!!! It didn't make me hungry though, just laugh like crazy, LOL :-)
This is the 'heart' of the tourist area. It is full with shops and tourist attraction. To get here just go to the American Falls, cross the street into the town of Niagara and you get to the 'super' tourist area :-)

Questions raised by Congress members M.A. Vahid and A.P. Abdullakutty on the priorities of the State on the Mullaperiyar issue triggered a furore in the Assembly on Thursday
Mr. Vahid asked whether the State had a proposal to construct a safety dam near the existing Mullaperiyar dam and said that there was an attempt to create confusion in Sivaganga by spreading word that the people of Kerala were trying to demolish the dam. Simultaneously, a panic was created at home that the dam would give way at any moment. He likened the situation to a comedy sequence in the Malayalam film 'Midhunam.'
Water Resources Minister P.J. Joseph who was replying to the questions described Mr. Vahid's comments as ''unfortunate'' and said that it ran contrary to the demand for a new dam raised by all parties in the State. The Assembly had unanimously passed a resolution to press for its demand and Chief Minister Oommen Chandy had clarified that the State was not for any compromise on the demand. This was reiterated in the Governor's Address too, he said.
Opposition protest
Members of the Opposition then stood up and voiced their protest.
Mr. Chandy then reminded that the Assembly had met exclusively to pass the resolution. The demand for a new dam was the sentiment of the people of the State. Mr. Abdullakutty, subsequently, said the disaster management wing was not equipped enough to tackle exigencies.
He said there was not enough seismologists in the wing. Revenue Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan then expressed his dismay over the comments and said that the preparedness in this score had no match anywhere else in the country. Experts of national and international reputation had assembled here to discuss such issues. Mr. Joseph too clarified that the locations for putting up shelters had been identified and the department was duly prepared to handle any emergency.

Critics Consensus: A disquieting classic of Australian cinema, Wake in Fright surveys a landscape both sun-drenched and ruthlessly dark.
Movie Info
Awe-inspiring, brutal and stunning, Wake in Fright is the story of John Grant, a bonded teacher who arrives in the rough outback mining town of Bundanyabba, planning to stay overnight before catching the plane to Sydney. But, as his one night stretches to five, he plunges headlong toward his own destruction. When the alcohol-induced mist lifts, the educated John Grant is no more. Instead there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty, red-eyed, sitting against a tree and looking at … More

All Critics (45) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (45) | Rotten (0) | DVD (1)
Wake in Fright is an absolute must-see for fans of cult, off-kilter cinema.
Blends staged re-enactments with documentary footage of senseless slaughter to extremely distressing effect.
Brilliantly directed by Kotcheff, the film has the disorienting and menacing quality of Joseph Losey films such as Accident and The Servant.
It presents a world in which refusing a pint has violent consequences, high spirits quickly curdle, and an unspoken homoerotic undertow gets ever more disturbing.
Forms a neatly symmetrical, perfectly Kafkaesque narrative. This way madness lies . . .
derives its brand of feral menace not from monsters, masked killers, or any of the other avatars of conventional horror, but rather from a sober-eyed perspective on a society reeling under the malign influence of its own basest impulses.
There is queasy undercurrent of sentimental kindness and indulgence beneath the violence.
Perhaps slightly schematic in charting the descent of man, but it induces a sweat that's hard to wash off.
The kindness of strangers has never seemed more terrifying than in this dusty, sun-bleached masterpiece, now stunningly restored.
Throughout we feel like we are watching a real world, with the extensive use of real locations and real outback dwellers, where none of the professional actors breaks the spell.
Shocking, credible and hard to forget.
Few films were ever so bright and so dark at once.
If you have any interest whatsoever in discovering the true classics of Australian cinema, there are far worse places you could start than with Wake in Fright.
Like the majestic camera movement with which it opens, Wake In Fright is a film that travels in slow, inexorable circles, presenting its paranoid nightmare of entrapment as Kafka down under.
The movie is a combination of existential horror story (a man winds up in a small-town hell and can't leave) and an examination of male violence and the ease with which men can fall into it.
This tale of sun-baked savagery has lost little of its audacity or ferocity while it languished unseen.
The raw, sweaty 1971 film is not a pretty portrayal of life in the outback, where men are crude, hard-drinking mates with no ambition beyond rough-house fun...
Brutal, but in a deceptively causal manner, Wake in Fright submits one the sharpest depictions of Outback life I've come into contact with, imagining the vast land as a sun-baked prison from which there is no escape.
A movie that shows us plenty of unsettling stuff but also knows that what viewers imagine is much more disturbing than what any movie can show.
Wake in Fright is essential viewing for anyone interested in the roots of male violence.
Audience Reviews for Wake in Fright
A shocking, brutal and jaw dropping portrait of Australia, insanity, social horror and the battles of human soul. Fresh.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Pretty grin viewing. Also a bit of animal cruelty which makes it hard to stomach. Not a bad 70's drama, but once was more than enough for me.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Super Reviewer
The australian outback shown as a gigantic prison. A claustrophobic and asphyxiating no man's land where only the strong can survive. And no matter how far you can get, how much beer you can drink to forget reality, you're condemned to a cyclic, aimless, tortuous existence.
A must see for people who take pleasure in the raw, allegorical, disturbing and existentialist films that came out in that period of time.

Archimedes, a healthcare modeling organization, develops the Archimedes Model, a clinically realistic, mathematical model of human physiology, diseases, interventions and healthcare systems. When the company sought to improve the time to results for its clients it developed new software called Aggregator using the open-source Big Data solution, Hadoop®, a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models.
Archimedes then faced the challenge of deploying and managing Hadoop and needed to find a solution that made this easy and cost effective. They turned to Univa Grid Engine software to build a highly efficient cluster architecture to support running multiple applications. Archimedes estimates they have already cut costs on hardware and software up to 50% through adopting Univa Grid Engine software in the first step of the migration, without any compromise to overall performance.
As Big Data technologies enter the enterprise, they must coordinate and integrate with existing systems management best practices in the data center. While benefits from Big Data applications are immense they can be quickly undermined by poor utilization in a silo or the inability to share.

I have been thinking of going but is it ok if you are not too experienced? What is it like in general?
Of course it is, WordCamps usually have a mix of developer and "user" oriented talks, with multiple tracks happening simultaneously so you choose which topic interests you theme most and you attend that one. I can see WordCamp London will have three simultaneous tracks, so surely you will find something for you.
You can use this one: https://github.com/derdesign/mr-image-resize
This is absolutely awesome man, respect for hard work you put into this! Really enjoyed listening to it.
Just go to Dashboard -> Updates and re-install WordPress.
Try deactivating all of the plugins active and check if the issue appears then. If no, activate plugins one by one to find the culprit.
If issue still appears even after deactivating all of the plugins, try switching to one of the default WP themes.
You don't need to call jQuery in wp-admin, it's always loaded there.
you will need:
- Domain name: around $10 for .com (even cheaper if you find some coupon) – recommended registar: namecheap
- Hosting: Around $10 per month for a decent share hosting – recommended siteground managed WordPress hosting
- WordPress: free!
How large is the menu you are assigning to that position? Having many menu items can cause this.

Sounds like a very ambitious idea, however I doubt this will be a reality soon because of the current huge $$$ CMS market. Think about it like cheap energy inventions that never came into reality because of giant gas companies.
That analogy actually makes no sense. "The Grid" is not a universally better solution than the existing ones. Yes, it's great for creating simple and quick websites, but it's far from being a competition to any serious CMS out there.
It's just another way of attracting people that don't know anything about creating a website with paroles like "Why don't you do it yourself", "Why pay $$$ to a company/freelancer when you can do it yourself for $" etc.
Do you end up with a website in the end? Sure. Can it look good? Indeed it can. Will that website help you? I seriously doubt it.
Just having a website is not always better than not having it.

OriginalEXE saidThank you for you help, Do you have any good tutorial i can read?
Hi, yes, there is, but nothing integrated in WordPress. You will have to code it yourself. Simply register your metaboxes, hide them all via css and then add the JS listener to page template select field, and display appropriate metaboxes based on the value of the select.
Not that I know of, sorry. It's pretty basic js.

Maybe the One Max will be different, but on my wife's rooted, unlocked bootloader, & s-off Galaxy Nexus, installing KitKat meant I could either lock on to 3G and make phone calls or obtain 4G lock only but couldn't do both. I stayed up half the night researching it, and apparently KitKat was having problems playing nice with custom rooted devices. I finally had to drop back to 4.3 for the Nexus to operate correctly.
Again your experience could be different, but at least do your research before going forward if/when we ever receive KitKat.
Everything I am reading says the One max, is essentially a One with a bigger screen and a fingerprint scanner. Will the One custom roms not work at all on the max? If all the hardware is essentially the same, why wouldn't it work with some ppi tweaks?
BTW, not sure about the Galaxy Nexus, but I have tried two different variations of Kit Kat 4.4 on my One, and both work flawless. I am running the Beanstalk variant now.

For more info: http://www.theatlantic.com/food/archi...
I've been to Ambergris Key in Belize, looked for whale shit on the beaches, but alas, there was none. BTW, the Belizeans pronounce it differently than I did before the trip, they say am-BURR-giss.Never seen or heard about it in Montreal.
I think whale vomit might be a more appropriate terminology. Just as appealing though.
Dang! I was looking for the wrong stuff?!
You may have better luck speaking with someone in the perfume industry rather than on a food board. Johnnyboy's essentially right - it's waxy goo that sperm whales regurgitate though smaller lumps go the intestinal route.
Haven't really heard of anyone using it for food.

Sarah Lancashire (born 10 October 1964) is an English actress and director. She is a BAFTA TV Award winner.
Lancashire trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 1986. She appeared in a 1987 episode of the ITV soap opera Coronation Street as Wendy Farmer, before returning to the show as regular character Raquel Watts, a role she played for five years (1991-1996). Other TV roles include Ruth Goddard in the ITV drama series Where the Heart Is (1997-1999), Rose Linden in the ITV drama series Rose and Maloney (2002-2005), as the narrator of BBC One period drama Lark Rise to Candleford (2008-2011) and as Catherine Cawood in the BBC One drama series Happy Valley (2014). For her role as Caroline in the BBC One drama series Last Tango in Halifax (2012-2013), she won the 2014 BAFTA TV Award for Best Supporting Actress. She also starred as Coral Atkins in Seeing Red (2000), which won her the 2000 National TV Award for Most Popular Actress and as Angela Cannings in Cherished (2005), both TV films based on real-life events.
On stage, she starred in the 2005 West End revival of the musical Guys and Dolls and received an Olivier Award nomination for her role in the 2011 West End musical Betty Blue Eyes.
Lancashire was born on 10 October 1964 in Oldham, Lancashire.[1][2] Her father Geoffrey Lancashire (1933–2004) was a television scriptwriter noted for his work on the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in addition to situation comedies such as The Cuckoo Waltz.[3] Her mother Hilda worked as Geoffrey's personal assistant.[3] She has three brothers, one her elder, one younger and a twin.[4] In contrast to her intellectually minded siblings, Lancashire lived in a "fantasy world" growing up, she struggled to connect to reality and suffered from low confidence.[3][4] In an interview in 2000 she stated that her mother's best hopes for her were that she would "meet a nice man, settle down and have children".[4] Lancashire did not decide to pursue an acting career until the age of 18.[5] Having never been particularly interested in fame,[3] she had initially wanted to work behind the scenes in television, having grown up in that environment.[5] However, after applying for and winning a place at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama — where her contemporaries included Shirley Henderson, Maggie O'Neill and Niamh Cusack — Lancashire realized that she enjoyed acting.[5] She graduated in in 1986, describing her time as a student there as "tremendous" but "seriously hard work and quite intimidating".[5][6]
In her final year, Lancashire had written to many repertory theatre companies throughout the United Kingdom but received lots of rejections. She was given her first acting role straight out of drama school by Howard Lloyd-Lewis, artistic director of the Manchester Library Theatre Company, which also provided her with an Equity Card.[7] She performed two plays with the company, Pacific Overtures and The Beauty Game, which she states formed "the start of my career as an actor".[8] Lancashire found her first professional acting experiences "terrifying" as a result of the large audiences, and being heckled by audience members for a role which required her to wear a bathing costume.[7] She also felt under pressure to impress, as for the first time taking risks or underperforming could have had consequences for her acting career.[7] During her early career Lancashire found herself with large breaks between theatre appearances. In order to support herself financially she worked as a drama teacher for five years at Salford University alongside her acting work.[5][9] In 1987, one year into her acting career, she made a brief appearance in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street as nurse Wendy Farmer, who applied to lodge with regular character Jack Duckworth (Bill Tarmey) only to be turned away by his wife, Vera (Liz Dawn).[10] In the late 1980s she also appeared in an episode of the children's anthology series Dramarama.[10]
In 1990 Lancashire got what she describes as her "big break"; the role of Linda in a production of Willy Russell's Blood Brothers at the Albery Theatre in London's West End.[5] Though Lancashire thoroughly enjoyed the experience, she found it difficult to reconcile performing in London with trying to raise two young children in Manchester.[11] Two weeks after finishing her run in Blood Brothers Lancashire auditioned for the role of new Coronation Street character Raquel Wolstenhulme, a fellow employee of Curly Watts (Kevin Kennedy) at the fictional Bettabuys supermarket.[5][12] Lancashire initially joined on a three month contract, and continued teaching at Salford University for another year.[9][13] Raquel first appeared on 25 January 1991 and temporarily departed on 10 May; within the series narrative the character moved to London to try and launch a modeling career.[14][15] Between 26 September and 19 October 1991, Lancashire played the title of role of Rita in an adaption of Educating Rita at the Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch[16] Following Raquel's reintroduction on 30 December 1991, seven months after her previous appearance,[17] Lancashire committed to Coronation Street full-time.[13]
Lancashire remained in the series until 1996, and was paid £90,000 annually.[18][19] Lancashire initially had reservations about Raquel's characterisation, noting that she had an "acidic side" which could have rendered Raquel becoming the "street bitch" had it been embellished. She took it upon herself to highlight Raquel's potential, playing against what had been written to make her more comic, evoking the sympathy of the audience.[9] Two years into the role, she experienced a 14-month nervous breakdown, but did not confide in anyone beside her close family, or take any time off work, which in retrospect she deemed "the worst thing [she] could have done."[20] Lancashire departed in 1996 due to her heavy work schedule and desire to pursue other projects.[18][19] She had also grown tired of the fame the role brought her, shying away from personal appearances and interviews with television magazines.[21] Her departure was spread over three episodes, including an hour-long special, devised as part of the programme's "ratings war" with rival soap opera EastEnders.[19] Her final scenes attracted 20 million viewers.[18] Lancashire's performance in the role saw her nominated in the Most Popular Actress category at the 2nd National Television Awards in October 1996.[22]
Lancashire's next television role was in the ITV drama series Where The Heart Is, which began airing in 1997. Lancashire played Ruth Goddard, a district nurse and colleague of Peggy Snow (Pam Ferris), the other main character.[23] The show proved popular with viewers and a second series was commissioned.[24] Also in 1997, she filmed a situation comedy for the BBC Bloomin' Marvellous, in which she played Liz, one half of an argumentative married couple trying for a baby later on in life.[25] However, due to poor viewing figures and a damning critical response the sitcom was not renewed for a second series.[26] Lancashire continued to star as Ruth Goddard in Where The Heart Is for its second and third series in 1998 and 1999. In 1998 she was nominated for her second National Television Award for Most Popular Actress, alongside co-star Pam Ferris.[27] In February 1999 she made a guest appearance in the British dark comedy anthology series Murder Most Horrid alongside comedienne Dawn French. The pair played two yachtswoman whose journey ends with fatal repercussions.[28] In April 1999 it was announced that Lancashire would be quitting Where the Heart Is, despite the production team offering to increase her salary. At the time of this decision Where the Heart is was the third most popular drama on British Television —behind Coronation Street and Eastenders — and regularly attracted 12 million viewers. Lancashire's decision was reportedly influenced by the series filming so far from home, and a fear that remaining in the series for as long as she had done in Coronation Street would harm her career.[29] In an interview in January 2000, Lancashire expanded on her decision to quit the series, stating that her character "was too chocolate-boxy, no longer a challenge".[30]
On 2 January 2000, Lancashire returned to Coronation Street for a single episode in which Raquel asks her husband Curly for a divorce. Lancashire felt it was the right time to return, because she felt herself to be a more confident actress and also wanted portray Raquel again before the character had aged significantly.[30] Then series producer Jane Macnaught deemed Raquel one of Coronation Street 's most popular ever characters and her return an opportunity for her "millions of fans" to learn what had happened to her in the intervening years.[18] Lancashire and Kennedy were the only cast members to appear in Raquel's return episode, marking the first time the programme had featured just two characters.[31] From late January, Lancashire appeared as textile factory employee Yvonne Kolakowski in the BBC1 drama series Clocking Off. Lancashire used her own experiences as a single mother who had been mistreated by men to tap into the character's dysfunctional home-life.[30] In March, she played actress Coral Atkins in Seeing Red, a television movie that explored her role in setting up a care home for abused and disturbed children.[4] Lancashire found this experience one of the most difficult roles of her career, in terms of both the subject matter and the pressure she felt to do the story justice.[4][32] Lancashire then spent eight weeks filming the BBC1 legal sitcom Chambers in which she played the "ambitious" and "bigoted" barrister Ruth Quirke.[4][33] The series aired from June 2000.[33] Lancashire's final role in 2000 was in the two part drama thriller My Fragile Heart.[34] Lancashire's body of work in 2000 earned her several awards. She was voted best actress at the TV Quick Awards in September 2000 for her roles in Clocking Off and Seeing Red', and in October was voted Most Popular Actress at the 6th National Television Awards for Seeing Red.[35][36] In March 2001 she was named Drama Performer of the Year by the Television and Radio Industries Club, with mention of her work in Clocking Off and Seeing Red.[37]
Following Lancashire's output in 2000, ITV sought to secure her exclusively to their network in a two year golden handcuffs deal, which was finalized in July 2000.[38] Lancashire became the first actress to be offered such a contract with ITV.[39] The deal, worth £1.3 million, reportedly made Lancashire the highest paid actress in British Television.[40][41] Her last role on BBC1 during this period was the comedy drama Gentleman's Relish, adapted from the Miles Gibson novel of the same name.[38][39] This television film, which aired on New Year's Day 2001, was Lancashire's first in the costume drama genre; she played a housekeeper harbouring romantic feelings for her master, Kingdom Swann (Billy Connolly).[42][43] Her first role under her new contract with ITV was the six part drama The Glass opposite John Thaw.[38][39] The series, which aired between May and June 2001 saw Lancashire star as a saleswoman for a double-glazing company who ends up caught in a love triangle with her boss (Thaw) and his nephew (Joe McFadden).[38][44][45] Retrospectively, the series was judged not to be a success; it averaged 5.8 million viewers, less than rival show on BBC1, Messiah.[46] In October she starred in the television film Back Home as Peggy Dickinson, a woman adjusting to life in post-war Britain after having been separated from her family during the war.[47] In April 2002 Lancashire starred in the two part psychological drama thriller The Cry in what she described as her "most naked role yet". She played a social worker grieving her second still-born child who is determined to protect another baby she perceives to be at risk of abuse.[48] Lancashire drew on her own experiences of clinical depression in order to understand her character's state of mind.[49] Her performance saw her awarded with a Golden Nymph award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival.[5][50] In April it was reported that Lancashire had been lined up to take the lead role in upcoming comedy drama Life Begins, which creator Mike Bullen had written with Lancashire in mind.[51] However, in June it was announced that Lancashire had pulled out of the project, not wanting to be part of a potentially long running series.[52] Later that month BBC News and newspaper The Guardian reported that Lancashire had exited her exclusive deal with ITV, which would not be renewed after it expired in Autumn that year. The decision was reportedly influenced by Lancashire's desire to reduce her workload and to have the freedom to take on other roles.[53][54] In September 2002 she appeared in a two-part crime drama pilot, Rose and Maloney, in which she starred as legal investigator Rose Linden who looks into potential miscarriages of justice.[55] On 22 December she appeared in the television movie Birthday Girl as Rachel Jones, a woman who throws a party to celebrate being in remission from a serious illness, only to find out before the party that the disease has returned.[56] Lancashire's final role to air as part of her deal with ITV was that of Gertrude Morel in an adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's 1913 novel Sons and Lovers, airing in January 2003. Lancashire described the role as the one she felt it was hardest to leave behind stating: "whatever the reason I do what I do, I felt I had come to a point where I could stop searching after this".[13] Paul Hoggart, reviewer for The Times wrote that Lancashire "steals the show" with a "performance of immense subtlety and quiet strength, proof, if we still needed it, that she has matured into a terrific actress."[57]
While pregnant with her third child, Lancashire took an 18 month career break, the longest of her working life.[58] Her first job after returning to work was her directorial debut on an episode of the BBC1 anthology series The Afternoon Play.[59][60] For "Viva Las Blackpool" she was given the Best Newcomer Award (sponsored by BBC Birmingham) at the Birmingham Screen Festival and the Best New Talent Award at the Royal Television Society (Midlands) awards in 2004.[61][62] The venture also earned her first British Academy Television Awards nomination in 2005 for Best new Director of Fiction.[63] Lancashire next filmed three two part stories for Rose and Maloney, which aired in 2004 and 2005, following on from the pilot episode in 2002.[59] The delay between shooting for the pilot and it's follow up was a result of Lancashire's career break and problems reconciling her availability with that of co-star Phil Davis[5] In 2005 Lancashire starred in The Rotter's Club as a housewife in 1970s Birmingham.,[64] Also in 2005 she appeared in the BBC drama Cherished as Angela Cannings, a British woman who was wrongfully convicted of killing her two baby sons but was released when medical evidence given at her trial was deemed dubious.[65] In December 2005, Lancashire returned to the West End stage, taking over the role Miss Adelaide in the Donmar Warehouse production of Guys and Dolls at the Piccadilly Theatre.[66] Lancashire was due to stay with the production until March 2006. However, one month into the role Lancashire fell ill with a severe chest infection and made her last appearance on 4 January 2006.[67] Lancashire's only television acting role in 2006 was as Elaine, a house-wife and talented cake-maker, in the BBC comedy drama Angel Cake which aired in September.[68] In November 2006 she presented an edition of the Five documentary social heritage series Disappearing Britain in which she interviewed people with memories of Wakes Week holidays in Blackpool by Cotton mill workers in the early 20th Century. It included an investigation of her own family history and holidays by her great grandfather Tom Lancashire in Llandudno.[69]
In February 2007 she made a guest appearance in the E4 teen drama series Skins.[70] This was followed by a leading role in the BBC Two television drama Sex, the City and Me as solicitor Ruth Gilbert.[71][72] In October, Lancashire appeared in her first feature film, David Nicholls' And When Did You Last See Your Father? in which she played the role of the protagonist's aunt Beaty.[73] In December, she starred in BBC1's 2007 adaption of Charles Dickens' 1838 novel Oliver Twist.[74] Whilst ambivalent about the serial as a whole, The Daily Mirror 's Jane Simon singled Lancashire out for praise stating that she "really sets the tone for the cold, unfeeling world into which orphaned Oliver is born."[75] In 2008 Lancashire began narrating the BBC1 costume drama series Lark Rise to Candleford based on Flora Thompson's memoir of her Oxfordshire childhood in the 1880s.[1][76] She would continue in this capacity until the series' cancellation in 2011.[1][76] In April 2008, she appeared in the opening episode of the 2008 series of Doctor Who, as Miss Foster "an enigmatic and powerful businesswoman" who Lancashire described as a "warped Mary Poppins".[77] She was amongst a number of high profile actors the series' executive producer Russell T Davies secured for the fourth series of the science-fiction drama as part of his intention to make it "bigger and blowsier".[78] In 2009, Lancashire starred in the BBC1 musical drama series All the Small Things. She played Esther Caddick, a full-time mother who starts her own choir after her husband leaves her for a more glamorous woman.[79] Following this, she reunited with director Coky Giedroyc, who had previously directed her in Oliver Twist, for a 2009 television adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering Heights which aired in August on ITV1. She played housekeeper Nelly Dean, an onlooker to the destructive love affair between Cathy and Heathcliff.[80][81] In 2010 Lancashire portrayed Rosemary Nicholls, the mother of murdered prostitute Ann Nicholls, in the thee part BBC drama Five Daughters, a depiction of the Ipswich serial murders from the point of view of the victims and their families.[82] Also in 2010 she guest starred in the police drama series Inspector George Gently.[83]
In 2012 she made a guest appearance in the penultimate episode of the 2010 revival of Upstairs Downstairs.[84][85] She played Miss Whisset, a lady's maid and love interest for Warwick Pritchard(Adrian Scarborough).[84][85] In September 2012 Lancashire began appearing as Head of Ladieswear Miss Audrey in the six-part series The Paradise set in a department store in Northern England in the late 19th century.[86][87] Lancashire described her character as "a true archetypal spinster" who has long denied herself romantic possibilities and begins to feel undermined by younger competition in the workplace the form of Denise Lovett (Joanna Vanderham).[87] In November 2012 she began starring alongside Sir Derek Jacobi, Anne Reid and Nicola Walker in the BBC drama series Last Tango in Halifax. The series follows Alan (Jacobi) and Celia (Reid), two septuagenarians who fall in love and plan to get married. Lancashire plays Caroline, Celia's daughter, who feels that her mother's second marriage gives her "permission" to finally admit to being who she really is.[88] Caroline's own romantic storyline with another woman resulted in Lancashire receiving more fan mail than for any other role,[3] largely from other women telling her that the series had helped them to come out.[89] For the role she was nominated for the award for Best Actress in a Supporting a Role at the British Academy Television Awards in both 2013 and 2014, winning in 2014.[90][91] In 2014, Lancashire collaborated again with Last Tango in Halifax writer Sally Wainwright in the 2014 crime drama series Happy Valley. Wainwright was keen to write another role for Lancashire after being "blown away" by her performances in Last Tango in Halifax.[92] Lancashire portrays Catherine Cawood, a police sergeant raising her grandson after the rape and suicide of her daughter. Cawood's investigations into a botched kidnapping links back to the man she believed raped her daughter, leading to the character experiencing a slow mental breakdown.[3][92]

Lawmakers in the state senate are set to take a final vote on whether illegal immigrants can receive in-state college tuition. The vote could come as early as today. The measure failed in the Democratic controlled senate two years ago, but it appears poised to pass the chamber this time around. Bente Birkeland reports.

Ecologist Jianguo (Jack) Liu named a 2006 Guggenheim Fellow.
PSC off-campus affiliate Jianguo (Jack) Liu has been named a Guggenheim Fellow for 2006. This year marks the 82nd year of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation's United States and Canadian competition. The winners include 187 artists, scholars, and scientists selected from almost 3,000 applicants for awards totaling $7,500,000.
Decisions are based on recommendations from hundreds of expert advisors and are approved by the Foundation's Board of Trustees. Guggenheim Fellows are appointed on the basis of distinguished achievement in the past and exceptional promise for future accomplishment.
Jianguo (Jack) Liu is the Rachel Carson Chair in Ecological Sustainability and Director of Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability at Michigan State University. His Fellowship is based on his NSF-funded research, "Complex Interactions among Policies, People, and Panda Habitat in the Wolong Nature Reserve Landscape."
Dr. Liu's broad research interests include conservation ecology, landscape ecology, human-environment interactions, systems modeling and simulation, and impacts of human population and activity on spatio-temporal dynamics of endangered species such as the giant panda in China. He is keenly interested in integrating ecology with socioeconomics as well as human demography and behavior for understanding and managing patterns, processes and sustainability of biodiversity and natural resources/ecosystem services across multiple temporal and spatial scales. His work has been published in journals such as Nature and Science, and has been featured many times in the popular media.

KEY WEST, FLA.—Defeated before in bids to swim from Cuba to Florida, Diana Nyad would cry and rage through swollen lips and welts at the jellyfish tentacles that had repeatedly lashed her and derailed her plans to become the first swimmer to make the 110-mile crossing without a shark cage.
Her lips were swollen Monday, as in the past, when she emerged from the waters at Key West, but the 64-year-old American endurance swimmer managed a tight smile for supporters and said one word: "Seawater." And this time, she was victorious.
"She freaking made it," her website trumped, along with the words "Party time."
Doctors said she was in good shape and wouldn't need much time to recover.
The stinging sea life that had plagued her four previous attempts to swim the Florida Straits—and the attempts of other swimmers trying to complete the same stretch—failed to appear until the final hours of her journey. That left Nyad free to concentrate on defeating the elements and to persevere through about 53 hours in the water until she could step on dry land.
Dazed and sunburned, the athlete waded ashore finally free of the protective silicone mask that had bruised her mouth and of a fully-body "jellyfish suit" that she conceded were necessary for the swim she began Saturday—even if they weighed down her crawl strokes.
She was free, too, of the nagging demons that drove her to attempt the treacherous crossing five times. She tried three times in 2011 and 2012. Her first attempt was in 1978.
As she approached the shore, spectators surrounded her in the water, taking pictures and cheering her on. She swam within a couple dozen feet of the beach and walked on to dry land.
Once on the beach, she was put on a stretcher and received medical treatment, including an IV. CBS News' Elaine Quijano reports she was treated at a hospital and released Monday evening.
"I have three messages. One is, we should never, ever give up. Two is, you're never too old to chase your dream. Three is, it looks like a solitary sport, but it is a team," she said on the beach.
President Obama was among a flurry of public officials and celebrities who tweeted congratulations. The president's tweet echoed the sentiment Nyad has repeated many times when faced with defeat: "Never give up on your dreams."
Nyad's speech Monday was slurred as she neared her destination and after she made it to the beach, but she planned to address reporters Tuesday in Key West after rest and recovery.
Her doctor, Derek Covington of the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital, said the swimmer was healthy and would not need a long time to recover from dehydration, sunburn and the swelling in and around her mouth.
"She was incredible to watch the whole way through," he said.
Nyad leaped from the seawall of the Hemingway Marina into the warm waters off Havana on Saturday morning to begin swimming. She paused occasionally for nourishment, but never left the water until she reached the white sand beaches of the Keys and waded ashore.
The support team accompanying her had equipment that generated a faint electrical field around her, designed to keep sharks at bay. A boat also dragged a line in the water to help keep her on course as she kept up the strokes, hour after hour after hour. Along the way, her team said it spotted thunderstorms on the horizon and even reported on her blog that cruise ships made way for Nyad as she crossed busy ship lanes.
"I always thought she could do it given her internal energy, her mental and physical strength, her will of iron," Jose Miguel Diaz Escrich, the Hemingway Marina commodore who helped organize the Cuba side of Nyad's multiple attempts, said Monday after Nyad landed in Florida.
"More than the athletic feat, she wants to send a message of peace, love, friendship and happiness ... between the people of the United States and Cuba," he added.
Australian Susie Maroney successfully swam the Strait in 1997 with a shark cage, which besides protection from the predators, has a drafting effect that pulls a swimmer along.
In 2012, Australian Penny Palfrey swam 79 miles toward Florida without a cage before strong currents forced her to stop. This June, her countrywoman, Chloe McCardel, made it 11 hours and 14 miles before jellyfish stings ended her bid.
In 1978, Walter Poenisch, an Ohio baker, claimed to have made the swim using flippers and a snorkel. Critics say there was insufficient independent documentation to verify his claim.
Nyad first garnered national attention in 1975 when she swam the 28 miles around the island of Manhattan in just under eight hours. In 1979 she swam the 102 miles from North Bimini, Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Fla., in 27.5 hours.
Nyad is also an author of three books, a motivational speaker and has been a reporter and commentator for NPR.

Guardian Heroes for XBLA gets solid release date Those of you waiting on the remastered XBLA release of Guardian Heroes will have to wait a bit longer as the old Summer window has been tossed. Instead look for the game starting October 12th. Along with the delay announcment, Sega has a new trailer for the game, so there is that as well. From what I've read this game was a great thing, and I should probably check out the 800 MS Point Xbox Live version this holiday season. I am intrigued by the branching story, but the co-op and extra modes sound fun too. What did you guys think, was the writing good or was it the fighting mechanic that has you excited for an Xbox release? What was your favorite aspect of Guardian Heroes? Comments not appearing?

text: Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 344 PM EST Fri Feb 27 2015 Valid 00Z Sat Feb 28 2015 - 00Z Mon Mar 02 2015 ...Below normal temperatures to dominate much of the country... ...Multiple feet of snow expected across the San Juans and Mogollon Rim... ...A winter storm is forecast to affect an area from the Southern/Central Plains up to the Lower Great Lakes... The upper pattern across the country will continue to feature an expansive trough while a pair of ridges anchor the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean, respectively. The lack of a ridge over the U.S. should help maintain below average temperatures across a majority of the region. An arctic high moving across the central to eastern states shows a strong influence on the daily temperatures. Highs will be on the order of 25 to 30 degrees below average across the Southern and Central Plains on Saturday with the cold temperatures translating south and east in time. This generally equates to highs in the 20s and 30s while lows plummet well into the teens. Another trough deepening across the north-central U.S. will allow a cold front to swoop through the Plains helping reinforce the chilly readings through the weekend. A large-scale upper low dropping down from the Pacific Northwest toward the coast of California will bring about an extended period of unsettled conditions. Initially the more inland track this system takes will not able to tap into much Pacific moisture which should keep precipitation amounts down across the Northwestern U.S. As the trough curves out into the coastal waters of Central California, it should finally be able to draw larger amounts of moisture which will significantly augment rain/snow totals. While providing some drought relief to the California coast with a steady period of rain, forecast amounts will be rather impressive farther inland. During the next two days alone, the Mogollon Rim can expect 2 to 3 inches of precipitation. The WPC winter weather desk suggests 1 to 2 feet of this will be snow over the higher elevations. Meanwhile, during the same period, the San Juans in southwestern Colorado may see in upwards of 5 inches of precipitation which equates to several feet of snow. The long duration of the event combined with persistent moist, upslope flow should aid in producing such robust totals. Another winter storm is expected to affect sections of the Southern/Central Plains through the Middle Mississippi Valley and into the Lower Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. The vast coverage of arctic air will create a messy situation where ice, sleet, and snow are all possible. Impulses moving eastward from the trough across the West will help drive precipitation from the Great Plains eastward. Gulf moisture will gradually be on the increase with much of this milder air overriding the subfreezing surface layer. The current forecast suggests measurable ice anywhere from Texas/Oklahoma across much of the Lower Ohio valley with another separate axis along the Southern/Central Appalachians. Meanwhile, the northern extent of the precipitation shield should be all snow with the heaviest amounts likely congregating over Central Missouri up through Central Illinois/Indiana where 6 to 8 inches are possible. For more information on this threat, please read the QPFHSD on the WPC page under the header discussions. Rubin-Oster Graphics available at www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/basicwx_wbg.php

Delimitation has changed the geographical boundaries
MAHABUBNAGAR: A district known for perennial drought and migration of people in search of work has also become famous for rebel trouble. As many as four Congress rebel candidates have won in 2004 Assembly elections that should be a cause for worry for both Congress and Grand Alliance this time.
Though the number of Lok Sabha seats, Mahabubnagar and Nagarkurnool (SC) in the district remained unchanged at two, delimitation has changed the geographical boundaries. Alampur, Gadwal and Wanaparthy Assembly segments were taken off from Mahabubnagar Lok Sabha seat and attached to Nagarkurnool (SC) Parliamentary constituency. Shadnagar and Jadcherla were removed from Nagarkurnool and shifted to Mahabubnagar seat.
Pargi Assembly segment located in Ranga Reddy district that was part of Nagarkurnool Parliamentary constituency was removed from it and added to Chevella, a newly carved out Lok Sabha constituency.
Additional segment
In the case of Assembly constituencies, both the number and boundaries have undergone a change. The number has gone up from 13 to 14. While Amarchinta Assembly constituency has disappeared, two new segments have been created, Deverakadra and Narayanpet. Shadnagar, hitherto reserved for SCs, has been made general and Alampur reserved for SCs.
The delimitation of Parliamentary constituencies is expected to benefit Manda Jagannath, Congress candidate from Nagarkurnool (SC) constituency as his native village Kondair is now included in it making him a local candidate. Till now, he was branded non-local candidate. He represented Nagarkurnool as TDP MP till he switched over to the Congress.
In contrast, the delimitation has proved to be unlucky for TDP's probable candidate A.P. Jitender Reddy from Mahabubnagar Lok Sabha seat as three Assembly segments Alampur,
Gadwal and Wanaparthy, in all of which he has considerable following, have been merged with Nagarkurnool Parliamentary constituency. The removal of Alampur and Gadwal is expected to benefit Congress MP, D.Vittal Rao from Mahabubnagar Lok Sabha seat as his relations with his party leaders in these segments are strained.
Migration of labour, corruption in construction of irrigation projects, misappropriation of funds in NREGP, irregularities in Indiramma housing scheme, diversion of Krishna waters to Rayalaseema by increasing the discharge capacity of Pothireddipadu head regulator and problems of RDS ayacutdars could be some of the issues to be highlighted by the Opposition. Besides, separate Telangana and categorisation of SCs could be main issues.
