Rakuten, Inc. (楽天株式会社 Rakuten Kabushiki-kaisha?) (TYO: 4755) is a Japanese electronic commerce and Internet company based in Tokyo, Japan. Its B2B2C[3] e-commerce platform Rakuten Ichiba is the largest e-commerce site in Japan and among the world's largest by sales.[4]
Hiroshi Mikitani founded the company in February 1997 as MDM, Inc., and is still its chief executive. Rakuten Shopping Mall (楽天市場 Rakuten Ichiba?) started operations in May 1997. In June 1999, the company changed its name to Rakuten, Inc. The Japanese word rakuten means optimism.[5]
In 2012, the company's revenues totaled US$4.6 billion with operating profits of about US$244 million.[6] In June 2013, Rakuten, Inc. reported it had a total of 10,351 employees worldwide.[7]
In 2005, Rakuten started expanding outside Japan, mainly through acquisitions and joint ventures.[8] Its acquisitions include Buy.com (now Rakuten.com Shopping in the US), Priceminister (France), Ikeda (now Rakuten Brasil), Tradoria (now Rakuten Deutschland), Play.com (UK), Wuaki.tv (Spain), and Kobo Inc. (Canada).[9] The company has investments in Pinterest,[10] Ozon.ru,[11] AHA Life,[12] and Daily Grommet.[13]
The Rakuten Group consists in total of around forty businesses & services such as -
The group's 2010 annual report shows that its online shopping business, Rakuten Ichiba, was Japan's largest online shopping mall, offering customers more than 95 million products from about 40,000 merchants.[14][15] It also had 6 million credit card customers and more than 75 million users in Japan.[15] As part of the group's globalization initiative, Rakuten Ichiba started offering international shipping.
In October 2005, Rakuten bought a 15% stake in Tokyo Broadcasting System, raising its stake in the broadcaster to 19%.[16] Rakuten later withdrew its bid and sold its shareholding back to Tokyo Broadcasting.[17][18]
Rakuten bought New York City-based Linkshare - since rebranded "Rakuten Linkshare" - offering performance-based online sales and marketing programs.[19][20][21][22]
To increase its global competitiveness, Rakuten decided to adopt English as the company's official language from mid-2012.[23][24] That year, Rakuten also bought French online retailer Priceminister for €200 million[25] and US-based Buy.com for US$250 million.[26][27] The group had been a significant shareholder in Ctrip, a Chinese travel site until it sold its stake in the company in August 2007 and, in 2010, it announced a joint venture with Baidu in China (Lekutian).[28][29]
After launching Indonesia's Rakuten Belanja Online, a joint venture in June the group continued its global growth the same month, snapping up Brazilian e-commerce firm Ikeda — since,renamed Rakuten Brazil. In July, it bought German e-commerce start-up Tradoria and rebranded it Rakuten Deutschland, and in September UK online retailer and e-commerce marketplace Play.com for £25 million (almost $41 million). After a 2010 UK government decision to impose Value Added Tax on UK-based companies' sales from the Channel Islands - until then exempt from the tax on shipments of goods worth less than £18 (about $28)[30] - Rakuten closed one of three Play.com warehouses on the island of Jersey.[31] In September, Rakuten took a minority equity stake in Russian online retailer Ozon.ru,dubbed 'Russia's Amazon', which had reported 2010 sales worth US$137 million.[32] A four-company-strong consortium, led by the Japanese group, invested US$100 million. Rakuten's stake was not revealed.[33]
In October 2012, Rakuten acquires Aquafadas through the redemption made by Kobo Inc. Aquafadas was then one of the leading digital publishing and ranked number 1 French technology companies. (FAST30 Deloitte) . Rakuten is from now on in a leading position in publishing and digital publishing thanks to this French technology acquisition.
Rakuten bought Canadian e-book reader company Kobo in January.[34][35] - a deal not finalized until January 2012.[36] On 17 May, Rakuten announced that it was leading consortium investing $100 million in the Pinterest picture sharing social network — its partners were existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners, and FirstMark Capital, and a number of investment 'angels'. That investment marked the start of a drive to expand Pinterest's presence in Japan and Rakuten's 17 other global markets. "While some may see e-commerce as a straightforward vending machine-like experience, we believe it is a living process where both retailers and consumers can communicate, discover, and curate to make the experience more entertaining," said Hiroshi Mikitani, Rakuten chief executive.[37]
On 13 June, Rakuten bought Wuaki.tv, a Spanish (Barcelona, Catalonia) video on demand (VOD) service/company that is one of the largest in Europe and the market leader in Spain, where it has over 600,000 registered users. That opened new opportunities, directly challenging Amazon, Netflix and others for domination of the VOD market — at first, in Europe and, later, elsewhere.[38] In November, Rakuten bought French online retail delivery company Alpha Direct Services. "Speed and quality of delivery is at the heart of any solid e-commerce proposition," said the Japanese group's Hiroshi Mikitani.[39]
By late 2012, Rakuten had also moved into online retail in Austria, Canada, Spain, Taiwan and Thailand and into the online travel markets in France — with Voyager Moins Cher.com — and China, Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan — with its Tokyo-based international Rakuten Travel platform. In North America, Rakuten Golf made booking tee time online possible.[40]
In May 2013, Rakuten acquired a majority share in "citizen commerce" site, Daily Grommet,[41] since rebranded as The Grommet.[42] In June 2013, Rakuten announced its acquisition of U.S.-based logistics and services company Webgistix.[43] specializing in fulfillment technology for e-commerce retailers. The acquisition is Rakuten's second logistics investment outside of Japan and enables prompt fulfillment in the U.S.
In September 2013, Rakuten acquired Singapore-based Viki.[44]
The initiative Choice in eCommerce was founded on May 8, 2013 by several online retailers in Berlin, Germany.[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] The cause was, in the view of the initiative, sales bans and online restrictions by individual manufacturers. The dealers felt cut off from their main sales channel and thus deprived them the opportunity to use online platforms like Amazon, eBay or Rakuten in a competitive market for the benefit of their customers.
On February 13, 2014, Rakuten announced they have acquired Viber for $900 million.[54]
In late 2013, Rakuten Ichiba Japan launched a new scheme that allows US-based e-tailers to sell on Rakuten's Japanese E-commerce marketplace without a local address, bank account, or an entity based in Japan. In an effort to globalize the marketplace, Rakuten Ichiba is expected to welcome more international sellers in fiscal year 2014.
On May 29, 2014, Rakuten Marketing acquired DC Storm, a UK-based technology company which specializes in marketing attribution modeling and data-driven marketing.[55]
In August 2014, Rakuten announced it's purchase of Slice, an e-commerce app based in the United States, for an undisclosed sum [56]
In September 2014, it was revealed that Rakuten would acquire US rebate site operator Ebates Inc. for around $1 billion.[57]
(source Rakuten Inc.[58])
In 2013, hundreds of Rakuten customers reported fraudulent credit card charges after making purchases from the site.[61][62] New Jersey police confirmed at least eight victims who were defrauded of $10,000 and had their social security numbers exposed and used to open accounts at online suppliers.[63]

HOUMA, La. (AP) - A Houma man is dead after jumping from a bridge into the Intracoastal Waterway.
Police say 51-year-old Kendall Cheramie, clad only in boxer shorts, jumped about 11:30 p.m. Monday. His body was pulled from the water early Tuesday.
The Courier reports that a passing motorist alerted authorities of a man sitting on the ledge of the bridge. Arriving deputies say they saw Cheramie dive head first into the 12-foot-deep waters below.
Investigators say the strong current in the ship channel dragged Cheramie under the water. His body was found about three hours later after a search by Sheriff's Office Water Patrol agents and firefighters.
Family members told investigators that Cheramie struggled with alcoholism and depression.

Pallet of 18 Kegco MK-K9G-CASK Kegs - Brand New 10.8 Gallon Firkin Cask Beer Keg

Used by breweries all over the world, these kegs are an excellent edition to your professional brewery operation, allowing you to offer an unpasteurized and naturally carbonated option to your lineup for special events and tastings.

The Firkin actually dates back to the mid-15th century as an ale vessel. It is a 10.8 Gallon cask keg which can hold and dispense about 86 16-ounce glasses of unpasteurized, naturally carbonated beer. The word firkin is based on the Middle Dutch word vierdekijn, which means "fourth".
Historically, cask beer differs from standard keg beer because it is naturally carbonated inside the keg through the use of active yeast, as opposed to being injected with carbon dioxide and pressurized. The secondary fermentation gives it more developed flavors than standard draft beer and it has a smoother finish due to the lack of force carbonation. Instead of pushing the beer through a dispense system with the use of CO2, cask beer is pulled out of the keg using a pump called a beer engine. Cask-conditioned ales are stored and served at a slightly warmer temperature than regular carbonated beers to allow for the yeast to stay active and keep the beer carbonated. Keeping the kegs between 50-55°F allows more of the delicate flavors developed during the secondary fermentation process to be tasted. This is the traditional English pub serving technique.
Cask kegs are best enjoyed over a day or two and are not intended for long term storage. They are ideal for local tastings and popular cask nights where they are expected to be emptied in one evening.

Fracking did not pollute water near homes-U.S.
WASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) – A first round of
tests showed no evidence that water at 11 homes in a small town
in Pennsylvania near natural gas drilling operations had been
polluted to unhealthy levels, U.S. environmental regulators said
on Thursday.
The Environmental Protection Agency said in January it would
perform tests at about 60 homes in Dimock where residents have
complained since 2008 of cloudy, foul-smelling water after Cabot
Oil & Gas Corp began hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,
for gas nearby.
EPA to retest Wyoming water said tainted by fracking
WASHINGTON, March 9 (Reuters) – The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency has agreed to work with the Wyoming state
government to retest water supplies after a federal report last
year concluded natural gas drilling likely polluted a local
The EPA has been investigating an aquifer near natural gas
drilling in Pavillion, Wyoming, for years after residents
complained their drinking water smelled and tasted odd.
U.S. lawmakers target insurers of Iran deals
WASHINGTON, March 8 (Reuters) – Global companies that
insure trade with Iran would be cut off from the U.S. financial
system under legislation two lawmakers introduced on Thursday
that aims to further tighten the financial noose around Tehran's
nuclear program.
Representatives Brad Sherman, a Democrat, and Ileana
Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican, introduced the bill that would
penalize underwriters that insure deals involving oil and gas
investments and shipments from Iran.
Western sanctions tighten squeeze on Iran oil exports
WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) – Western trade
sanctions against Iran are strangling its oil exports even
before they go into effect, a U.S. advisory body has found, amid
warnings that any shortages will only push up crude prices and
strain a weak global economy.
With crude prices trading around 10-month highs and limited
spare production capacity worldwide, the United States may offer
Iran's biggest customers waivers from the oil sanctions, which
take effect June 28.
Western sanctions already disrupt Iran oil exports: EIA
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Western sanctions on Iran are disrupting its oil exports and further restrictions could tighten global oil markets already hit by a rash of outages in other countries, a report required by the recent U.S. sanctions law said on Wednesday.
With world oil prices soaring, U.S. and European insurance companies are failing to insure deliveries of Iranian oil even before the full Western sanctions go into effect, according to a report by the Energy Information Administration on Wednesday.
Oil report may give Obama wiggle room on Iran sanctions
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. government report on the global oil markets due on Wednesday could help determine how tough the Obama administration will be enforcing sanctions against Iran and provide information it needs to combat rising oil prices.
The Energy Information Administration Wednesday morning will give a snapshot of global petroleum prices and production in countries besides Iran. The report, which the Obama administration pushed for, is required by the National Defense Authorization Act spelling out the Iran sanctions, signed into law two months ago.
Obama seeks clean energy, pipeline funds in budget
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House proposed more funds for renewable energy and pipeline safety in the 2013 budget while renewing the call to end subsidies for the oil and gas sector.
The budget proposes $27.2 billion for the Department of Energy, a 3.2 percent increase of what Congress enacted last year, and includes $2.3 billion for research and development for energy efficiency, advanced vehicles and biofuels.
Watchdog absolves State Dept in Keystone review
WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) – An internal watchdog on
Thursday cleared the U.S. State Department of allegations that
there were conflicts of interest between a contractor hired to
review the Keystone XL oil pipeline and TransCanada,
the developer of the $7 billion project.
Lawmakers concerned about the environmental impact of the
pipeline, which President Barack Obama has put on ice for
further environmental study, had requested the State
Department's Inspector General take a closer look at the players
involved in reviewing the project.
US to require disclosure of fracking fluids on public land
WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) – The U.S. government will
require natural gas drillers to disclose which chemicals they
use in hydraulic fracturing on public lands, according to draft
rules crafted by the Interior Department.
President Barack Obama pledged in the State of the Union
address last week that the government would develop a road map
for responsible natural gas production and roll out new rules to
ensure drillers protect the environment.
Analysis: Oil reports may offer Obama an out on Iran
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will soon get regular, albeit incomplete, reports on how oil markets are coping ahead of broader sanctions on Iran that could help him justify easing off sanctions to prevent a politically damaging jump in crude prices.
Under the latest Iranian sanctions signed into law late last year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration must begin issuing reports by Feb 29 and every two months after that on oil production and prices as the United States moves to squelch Iranian oil shipments.

Rich buttermilk and vanilla bean cake in purple, yellow and green make these Mardi Gras cupcakes topped with Reese's mini cupcakes the perfect party treat! In February 2012, AFN Bavaria here in Germany is hosted me for a 2 hour segment to talk cupcakes and baking! And, well… since it's Mardi Gras season, I thought it'd be a perfect reason to bring the DJ's some party cupcakes!
Because I needed to color the batter, I needed a basic white cake batter to start with. So, I whipped up a simple vanilla buttermilk cupcake. But… you know me, nothing I do is ever basic. These cupcakes have my favorite Madagascar vanilla beans, buttermilk and some added sour cream for flavor. There is nothing basic about the flavor of these bad boys! I topped the cupcakes with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting then embellished them with Mardi Gras colored sprinkles and mini cupcakes made with Reese's peanut butter cups. This is a simple, fun way to dress up your cupcakes for a party!
You don't just have to make these cupcakes for Mardi Gras either… they could be made in green and red for Christmas. They could be made in pink and white for Valentine's Day or even Green for St. Patrick's day. The possibilities are quiet endless! So, if you're looking for a fun, simple, yet delicious cupcake to serve at your Mardi Gras party… make these Mardi Gras Cupcakes!
They'll be sure to impress your party guests!
Happy Baking!
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- the seeds of 2 Madagascar vanilla beans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups Buttermilk
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 cups cake flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Green, Purple and Yellow food coloring gel (I used Wilton brand)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 lbs powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼-1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- pinch of salt
- green, purple and yellow sprinkles
- Rolo candies
- Mini Reese's peanut butter cups
- purple gel food coloring
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line cupcake pans with white liners.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes.
- While that is creaming, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the buttermilk, vanilla beans, vanilla extract and sour cream. Whisk until combined. It will look lumpy, which is okay.
- Add the wet mixture to the butter/sugar and mix on medium speed. Scrape the sides of the bowl and make sure everything is incorporated. NOTE: It will look curdled. DO NOT FRET! It will smooth out once you add the flour.
- Add all the flour at once and mix on low to medium speed until smooth. Don't over mix!!
- Separate batter evenly into three bowls.
- Add food coloring and mix until uniform in color.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop one color into the liner against one edge. Quickly, scoop the second color next to/overlapping the first color. Finally, add the third color. NOTE: By the time you get to scooping the third color, you should still be able to see a ⅓ of the bottom of the liner.
- Add another smaller scoop of each color until the liners are ½-2/3 full. NOTE: Do not fill these more than ⅔ full. They puff up nicely and you don't want overflow!
- Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Rotate pan after 12 minutes.
- Cool in pans for 7-8 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting and decorating.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese.
- ¼lb at a time, add the powdered sugar. After the first addition, add the vanilla extract and cinnamon. Beat until smooth.
- After the next additions of powdered sugar, add whipping cream and beat on high until smooth. After the last addition of sugar, add enough cream until you get your desired consistency.

I love what you did with these cupcakes. They look amazing. I love the colors you used and the toppings.
Beautiful! How did you get the white frosting to have a purple stripe, or is that just my eyes playing tricks?
Oh my gosh!! I can't believe you left a comment on my blog – You are like a celebrity in my book from Cupcakes Take The Cake. Ha ha. I didn't know you had other blogs too! Thanks for making my day! I love these Mardi Gras cupcakes and I am saving this for next year.
Delicious cupcake themselves, made the cinnamon cream cheese frosting and it didn't set up the way I liked so I just used a cinnamon buttercream. Super cute. Excellent!
They look so good and i'm going to try them very soon. What do you use if you don't have the vanilla beans?
How fun! Love how customizable these are. And also? Don't sprinkles make everything better? Just sayin'…
Love the little cupcake perched on top – such fun!
These are so fun! I love the little PB cup on top
I made these cupcakes & featured them on my blog. They were delicious! I did have some issues with the consistency of the frosting…I ended up putting it into the refrigerator to stiffen it up a bit. Thank you for sharing this recipe…I'll definitely be back!
Festive, delicious looking and oh my that buttercream! Plus a bonus pb cup!
I am loving the colors and flavors going on these cupcakes. They are perfect for Mardi Gras!
The "cupcake" on the cupcake is such a cute touch! Love love love!
I just made my 1st batch of these and they are a resounding success WITHOUT frosting! Can't wait to hear the response when they are frosted. I am baking and freezing them as I need 6 dozen for an event in two weeks. Much easier to make ahead so I only have to frost right before the event. Thank you!

Days after Adam Lanza shot up Sandy Hook Elementary School, gun control laws are once again the subject of hot debate. But what about mental-health policy? What if mental health care was as easy to get as, say, a gun? GlobalPost takes a trip around the globe to see how psychological issues are treated outside America. Here's a sampling of some of our best reporting on the subject from the last two years.
One of the worst mental health crises in Asia gets precious little attention and money.
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Psychiatrist Sotheara Chhim has given more thought than most to the mental burdens carried by Cambodians.
Pointing to a glass of water on his table, he describes how the legacy of decades marred by war, genocide and enduring poverty still help push so many here over the edge.
"I think every Cambodian is like a glass carrying some water, meaning the traumatic past," he said. "If more water is put in, the glass fills easier than an empty glass."
In many ways Cambodia appears to have turned a corner from its dark past, with big cities booming and millions of foreign tourists visiting the country every year. A flood of foreign aid has even seen scourges such as HIV/AIDS finally under control and uneven progress made against poverty.
Cambodia, however, labors under the burden of one of Asia's worst mental health crises, driven by the ghosts of its history and the stresses of living in a rapidly changing but still desperately deprived country. And unlike so many other problems in a country flooded with foreign NGOs and international organizations, the issue gets little outside attention, and precious little money.
Comprehensive figures are thin on the ground, but those that are out there point to a grim situation. A study by the Holland-based Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO) found 35 percent of Cambodians suffer from some kind of psychiatric problem and 45 percent suffer from "psychosocial problems" — a broad term embracing everything from grief to stunted emotional development.
At the same time, the country suffers from a dearth of treatment. Only 1 percent of the government's health budget goes to mental health and only 0.1 percent of the population access mental health services every year.
Cambodia is home to 14 million people, 5 million of whom are survivors of the 1975-1979 reign of the Khmer Rouge, in which up to 2 million died. For that whole population, there are only about 40 psychiatrists, and only around 10 of them outside of the capital.
The results can be seen in Cambodia's impoverished villages, where the severely mentally ill are often found tethered and caged in hidden recesses beneath stilt houses.
Kevin Conroy, an American Catholic priest who teaches psychology at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, carries in his cell phone the photo of one such woman, a 45-year-old recently found north of the capital.
"It was the smell of urine, feces, all that stuff. That's the part you don't get from the picture, it's the smell that's there," Conroy said.

Region 10: the Pacific Northwest

Pacific Northwest Regional Water Quality Coordination Project Land Grant Universities, Water Research Institutes and EPA Region 10 have formed a partnership to provide research and education to communities about protecting or restoring the quality of water resources. This partnership is being supported in part by the USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension System (CSREES). The goal of this Project is to provide leadership for water resources research, education and outreach to help people, industry and governments to prevent and solve current and emerging water quality and quantity problems. The approach to achieving this goal is for the Partners to develop a coordinated regional water quality effort based on, and strengthening, individual state programs. As part of their efforts to develop baseline information for educational programming, a "water issues" survey was conducted. The survey was mailed at random to 1,780 Region 10 households. The information is of interest from many viewpoints. For example, statistically valid survey results indicated the public considers water issues very important. Over 90% of Region 10 respondents considered clean drinking water, clean rivers and clean groundwater very important. Second in importance to respondents were wetlands, preservation of salmon runs, watershed restoration and water for recreation. People surveyed were likely to get their water information from television and newspapers, and less likely to receive it from universities and state agencies. Respondents believed urban waste to be the major pollutant in each state. View the Results of the Water Issue Survey (PDF) (80 pp. 155K)

Water issue resolved
Posted by Lucy
Water issue resolved
"The water situation in Presho is good," said Mayor Mike Sprenger Monday morning from his office at BankWest Insurance. After confirmation from West River Lyman/Jones Water, Sprenger stated that the issue of more water going out of the Presho tower than coming in had been resolved. The concern over the weekend was that the tower was not staying full. Normally, water goes into the tower at about 170 gallons per minute, but over the weekend that number dropped to 140 gallons. Water for the Presho area comes from the Ft. Pierre intake on the Missouri River.

LINCOLN – Benjamin Pelletier couldn't believe his good fortune when he happened by a flier posted inside the William M. Davies Jr. Career & Technical High School one day last November. It asked any student interested in building his or her own electric guitar – and learning how to play it – to register for the extracurricular program sponsored by the school.
PAWTUCKET — Following an intensive police and fire investigation, two city men were arrested for allegedly setting the fire that destroyed a six-unit apartment house at 35 Vale St. on Wednesday morning. On Thursday, Pawtucket police arrested Raymond B. Gyamfi, 21, of 181 Magill St., Pawtucket, and Jeremy Lopes, 22, of 103 Samuel Ave., also of Pawtucket. Police Major Arthur Martins said that the arrests were made by the Pawtucket Police with assistance from the Central Falls and Providence Police Departments. He added that the investigation is continuing.
PAWTUCKET — If you were to go up to Mike Kayata and tell him that senior star Elijah Wiggins would be a non-factor due to foul problems, the Tolman head coach would say his team is in really deep trouble.
PAWTUCKET – Free throws attempted serve as the perfect means to separate which team was the more aggressive unit. It's also the main reason why Shea High remains alive in the Division II playoffs after posting a 62-53 win over Narragansett High on Friday night at "The Cage." The stat that tells the story in this preliminary round clash is that the seventh-seeded Raiders attempted a dozen more free throws than the No. 10 Mariners. Shea went 16-of-24 from the charity stripe while Narragansett was 6-for-12. Shea now moves on to face Rogers, seeded second, on Monday in the quarterfinals.
Therese M. Beaulieu PAWTUCKET - Therese M. Beaulieu, 80 of Pawtucket died on Wednesday at Rhode Island Hospital. She was the wife of the late Edward J. Beaulieu. A daughter of the late Arthur and Ursula (Giard) Beaulieu, she was born in Pawtucket where she was a lifelong resident. She was a communicant of St. Teresa Church. Prior to retirement in 1992, she had been employed for thirty-two years as an estimator in the office of the Key Container Corp. She was a member of St. Teresa's Senior Group and of the AARP.
George H. Adams IV CENTRAL FALLS - George H. Adams IV, 23, of Dexter St, Central Falls died Thursday, February 17, 2011. He was the son of George H. Adams III and Melinda Chaves. Mr. Adams installed sprinkler systems for Triple A Sprinklers in Warwick.
Evelyn Brouillette CUMBERLAND - Evelyn (Breault) Brouillette, 85, formerly of Pocasset Avenue, passed away Thursday in St. Antoine Residence, North Smithfield. She was the wife of the late Raymond Brouillette. Born in Pawtucket, she was the daughter of the late Theophile and Laura (Jette) Breault. She resided in Cumberland for over 50 years. Mrs. Brouillette was employed at Texas Instruments, Rhode Island College, RI Division of Taxation, and Fram Corporation. She was a communicant of St. Aidan Church.
PROVIDENCE – No matter how you slice it, Providence's 79-76 defeat to Big East bottom feeder DePaul was a tough pill for Keno Davis and the Friars to swallow. Davis' post game press conference was far from a ray of sunshine, as the third-year coach sat silent at the podium for several minutes before trying to explain what has to be the Friars' most disheartening loss of the season – one coming against a DePaul outfit that coming had had dropped 25 consecutive Big East games. "It's a tough lesson for a young team to learn," said a clearly shell-shocked Davis.
For three local teams straddling along the same line, the idiomatic expression "there's no tomorrow" definitely applies.
CUMBERLAND — In states where wrestling holds a prominent place in the high school sports winter season -- Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Iowa come to mind – people flock to big dual-meets in large numbers. When two unbeaten teams meet, fans and coaches and former wrestlers fill the stands, contributing to a raucous setting not often seen in Rhode Island.
PROVIDENCE — The country got up close with the nether regions of the Big East Conference on Thursday night. In a nationally-televised contest involving two teams just trying to stay afloat in a Top-25 dominated lead, DePaul held on for 79-76 win over the Providence College Friars before 5,021 disappointed fans at The Dunk. PC trailed 77-76 with seven seconds remaining when Gerard Coleman had a pass broken up in the lane by DePaul's Jeremiah Kelly, who hit two free throws with less than a second remaining to secure the win.
Paul M. Driscoll CUMBERLAND - Paul M. Driscoll, 58, of Lonsdale Farm Road passed away Wednesday, February 16 at home. Born in Pawtucket, he was the son of the late Edward J. and Mary V. (Vass) Driscoll. He resided in Cumberland for the past 33 years, previously residing in Pawtucket. He was a United States Army National Guard Veteran, serving in the Airborne Division. He was employed as a floral desiger for Uncle Ronnies Flower Shop of Cumberland for over 30 years.
PAWTUCKET – Tolman High demonstrated the proper way to head into the postseason, dispatching of Ponaganset High, 71-44, Wednesday afternoon at the Donaldson Memorial Gymnasium.
PAWTUCKET — As is normally the case, Tom "Saar" Sorrentine uses "Senior Night" as a chance to shine the light on those seniors who normally take a backseat to more acclaimed teammates. For Newon Sendolo, Franklin Batista, Ben Pillsbury, Austin Hill and Calvin Contreras, that meant a chance to make a rare start, doing so with playoff position hanging in the balance against perennial power Bishop Hendricken.
CUMBERLAND — The Cumberland High wrestling program runs as deep as the roots head coach Steve Gordon has nurtured in this town since moving here nearly 50 years ago. The Clippers finished their second straight undefeated dual-meet season on Wednesday night with a 37-20 spanking of equally unbeaten Warwick Veterans, which was the favored team heading into this showdown between Division I's two elite squads.
PAWTUCKET — It had been frigid and icy getting around and the sprawling Hope Artiste Village was the last stop on a tiring, whirlwind tour of Rhode Island's arts scene, but Rocco Landesman, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, still exuded enthusiasm about the people and places he visited. "Rhode Island gets it," said Landesman. "It is an arts state. Rhode Island has the most working artists, per capita, than any other state in the country, and what I'm taking back is information showing how the arts can be a model for economic development."
Albert F. Moquin PAWTUCKET - Albert F. Moquin, 84, formerly of Weeden Street passed away Tuesday after an illness. He was the husband of the late Marjorie A. (Laplante) Moquin. He was born in Pawtucket a son of the late Euclid and Margaret Moquin. Mr. Moquin had been a self employed electrician in Pawtucket for many years.

"We would love to blast anyone who criticizes Sun City", from today's BT editorial "We Say".
That's a bit harsh I think, and odd. Is Sun CIty in some kind of sacrosanct bubble deemed separate from the rest of the region? Would the editors ever write "We would love to blast anyone who criticizes Hardeevile". BT runs the "occasional comment" because even the "ignorant" have opinions. How thoughtful. I don't think it's only "the loudest and harshest voices who are rewarded". I venture it's the deepest pockets as well. To find any criticism of a Sun City anywhere in the country you have to go far afield of the region in which one is being built.
"one of the most engaging and exciting segments of Bluffton". Well that's what they project on the billboards. I suppose it makes me "ignorant or jealous", but I just don't see any community as being above any sort of negative commentary. And I don't see that the "tone" " on the voxes, letters and blogs" has been all that negative lately. A couple of voxes and a discussion in one blog about rural vs. suburban development? HIlton Head should be so lucky.

As I was twiddling around working late tonight and singing along with my iPod I got to thinking of a blog topic. With homage to the recent movie blogs by CheyenneMontana and LorabelleNY that have been so much fun.
Do you have any favorite guilty pleasure songs? You know your hard core classical but there's this one Waylon Jennings song you play when nobody else is in the car, or you're a Leonard Cohen fan but you found your self tapping your toes a bit to "It's Hard Out There For a Pimp?
Here are a couple of mine to start:
Older ones. Seal, doing "A Kiss from a Rose". I have no idea what it's about but I keep picturing him performing it a long time ago with that white shirt blowing. The album cover photo was not bad either. : ) Bryan Ferry, "Take a Chance with Me" tied with "More Than This", reminds me of someone who gave me the album.

A friend of mine sent me this link to a program he heard on the radio recently. Here is a short excerpt and links to the text and an audio version read by the author. I thought it was resonant given the changes in Bluffton and all the old roads we have around here being paved over or widened. The links open in new windows and the reading is really nice with the audio built right into the link .
Lost Roads Audio Version Lost Roads Text Version
Excerpt from: Lost Roads By Robert Finch ".....roads serve as sensitive barometers of our relationship to the land as a whole. It's the same for the passing of an old road as for a culture. As more and more old roads are "improved," they increasingly reflect the anonymity of those who pass over them. An old road has character in that it is recognizable. It reflects its setting and possesses that elusive quality we call "a sense of place."
In earlier times, travelers arriving were greeted with questions about their trip. They talked about what they saw and did on their journeys, as each was likely to be different. Now, we generally ask only "Did you have any trouble?" and talk only about how little or how much time it took us to drive or fly from one point to another

Suspect in hospital, she may be part of begging mafia
In a well-coordinated operation that saw swift action by the police and the public, a middle-aged woman, who had kidnapped a toddler from Chamarajpet, was nabbed and the child was rescued safely four hours later at around 9 p.m. from a congested bylane in J.J. Nagar on Wednesday. The police suspect the role of the begging mafia behind the failed attempt.
It all began around 4.45 p.m., with Parveen Banu (50), a resident of Goripalya, turning up at the doorstep of Ghouse Khan, a resident of Tipu Nagar in Chamarajpet, seeking a glass of water to drink. The family members obliged her and went back in to attend to their chores, leaving the children, two-year-old Hajira Khanum and her cousins Harbeena Khanum and Misba Khanum, playing outside.
Taking advantage of the absence of adults, Parveen Banu took Hajira Khanum on the pretext of buying her chocolates. The other two children, uneasy over the stranger picking up their baby cousin, ran inside and informed the family members about the lady who offered them chocolates. When the alarmed family members ran out to check for Hajira, she was missing.
They informed the police and the South Division police immediately cordoned off the entire area seeking public help by printing and distributing 1,000 photographs of the toddler. They also went around making public announcements and got similar announcements broadcast from local mosques in Chamrajpet, Goripalya, J.J. Nagar and Mysore Road.
Some 150 police personnel fanned out, forming a dragnet, even checking the nearby graveyard. Their efforts paid off when some members of the public, alerted by the announcement, saw Parveen Banu — with the sleeping toddler in her arms — hiding in a dimly lit bylane in J.J. Nagar. The enraged public thrashed the woman before handing her over to the police.
Background suspect
"Though the accused confessed that she was childless and wanted to raise the child, we suspect her to be part of a begging mafia. A quick background check revealed that she has four children who are married," Deputy Commissioner of Police H.S. Revanna said. He suspected the involvement of more persons in the child-lifting racket. "There is also a possibility she had plans to sell the child. We are looking at this angle too."
Parveen Banu, who was injured when she was bashed up, was hospitalised. Chamarajpet police are awaiting her recovery to question her further.

2011 Toyota Camry – Fort´s Toyota of Pekin North Pekin, IL
I needed to track down an electrical problem in my Grandmother's Camry. Obviously this is limited to the electrical system and therefore I cannot be sure my experience is reflective of the entire book. However, my experience was that the care manual that comes with the car had just as much detail on the components locations and how to check and remove them as this books had. The only difference was a slightly more wordy approach in this book. Following the advice of another reviewer I called Toyota and ordered the official wiring book for this car and I was amazed at how much easier life became.Don't waste money on this book!
I've used this manual fairly regularly, and for the most part I've been pretty pleased. However, in 1991 the Toyota Camry had at least two different 4 cylinder production models and only one was covered in Haynes. Unfortunately, mine wasn't the one. Nice try Haynes, but you need to be more comprehensive.
I have used this book for regular maintenance and scheduled tune ups. Not bad for that purpose.I have also used it for Constant Velocity joint replacement, timing belt replacement, water pump replacement, and troubleshooting electrical problems. This book was not the best way to go about taking on these jobs.My recommendation- spend the money and get the real thing from Toyota. You will spend a lot more, but the payback will be in all the time that you save.

Chilean students taking to streets against 'Pinochet's education'(VIDEO)
Chilean youth have held continuous rallies for two months to protest the country's poor education system, which has not substantially changed since the fall of dictator Augusto Pinochet in 1990.
Luis Hidalgo/AP
Santiago, Chile
The tune of the protest song is familiar. "It's going to fall, it's going to fall," chant students in the streets of Santiago and other Chilean cities, using the same lyrics used in marches against military dictator Augusto Pinochet in the 1980s. But this time, they don't say the government will fall, but rather the country's education system that hails back to the Pinochet era.
Before the dictatorship, Chilean higher education was free, just as it remains in much of South America. But Mr. Pinochet created a system of private universities and voucher-type subsidies for private schools. Today, low-income Chileans generally go to public schools or voucher schools and end up in expensive, often low-performing private universities. After waiting in vain through decades of center-left government, students have found their voice in the face of the country's first elected conservative government in more than 50 years.
"I'm a child of the dictatorship," said Marcela Salas, a telecommunications manager taking part in a continuous 75-day student protest relay run around the presidential palace in Santiago. "There was no access to information. The kids who have grown up since then, they are better informed, and better trained to express themselves. And not just through political parties, not just left or right. Now it has come to a breaking point."
Chilean cities have witnessed near continuous rallies for two months that have torpedoed support for President Sebastian Piñera, leaving him with the lowest approval rating among Chilean leaders since the dictatorship ended in 1990. The rallies show growing frustration with a political system that has failed to provide a route to a better life.

Huckle-hunting crack-backed worms
'neath jeering, leering tangled forms.
Branches breaking, bending, sending
shivers down my mangled spine.
Fine, everything's just fine.
Backward glancing, I see dancing
shadows, shadows that aren't mine.
Time, time ever racing, chasing,
pacing, my footsteps ever hastening;
tasting the seconds as they fade away.
Decay comes quickly, sickly;
stenches, wrenches my groaning gut.
Moaning, roaming through the leaves,
weaves the yearning, burning thing of night.
Sight, I am robbed of sight.
Blinding, something hidden binding,
twining, snaking round my aching useless eyes.
Sighs, the sighs of something very close;
those whispered, blistered wrecks of breath.
Death, the final fleck, silently shivers,
my withered slivered, writhing neck.

In NH, flu season off to a mild start
A good sign: by this time last year, the country was in the throes of a flu outbreak that led to several fatalities, including three New Hampshire children.
In their most recent report, state health officials said flu-like illnesses comprised a scant 0.2 percent of all physician visits during the second week of December. The level was similar to the previous week.
Manchester City Health Director Tim Soucy said there's little indication of flu in the city, but he has heard some anecdotal reports of stomach bug. It's easy for such diseases to spread during the holidays, he said. People are confined more, and there's lots of eating and food preparation.
The norovirus, which is linked to most stomach bugs, can be spread by an infected person shedding viruses while preparing food, he said.
Adamski advised proper hand hygiene and good respiratory etiquette to prevent the spread of the flu and stomach bug.
Soucy attributed the low number of flu cases to the availability of flu shots. Opportunities to get a vaccine were plentiful this fall. He said the Health Department did all it could to make sure key groups were vaccinated, including city and school workers.
He said the Health Department had a limited number of free vaccines. In New Hampshire, flu shots and other vaccinations are free for children, he said.
Adamski said the two flus that have been detected so far — Type A H1N1 and Type B — were included in the vaccine. She said there is still time to get a flu shot.

Four steps to innovation Pharmalab Inc. By Jim Butschli, Features Editor, Packaging World magazine In its Levis, Canada hometown near Que- bec City, Pharmalab Inc. (www.pharmalab. ca) has found that low unemployment rates sometimes make it difficult to find qualified personnel. To help cope with that chal- lenge, the contract manufacturer of natural health, pharmaceuticals, nutraceutical products, and food supplements has switched from manual cartoning to automated robotic cartoning with the recent addi- tion of five new MK-DLT inte- grated Delta 3 robotic cartoners provided by AFA Systems (www. afasystemsinc.com). Antonio Muniz with Logic Tech Pack Inc. (info@logictech pack.com) served as a consultant and AFA agent for the project. Pharmalab produces powders, liquids, creams, and solid-dose capsules and tablets, all under customer brand names. ese are packaged in a variety of formats, primarily pouches and jars, which are sold in Canada and the U.S. Manufacturing and packaging is done within the company's 100,000-sq-ft facility in Levis, now twice the size it was before a major expansion project in 2011. Of the facility's 10 packaging lines, six are dedicated to pouch production, two to solid-dose products, and one each for liq- uids and powder filling. Anas El Alaoui, Pharmalab's Plant Man- ager, says, "We made a major expansion primarily for warehouse and administrative purposes, but all the old warehouse area was transformed into a packaging area with four pouch lines added to the two we had before." El Alaoui says eight of the lines run 24/7, while the liquid line runs on a two-shift, five- day-a-week schedule, and the powder filling line operates on one shift, five days a week. Centering on cartoners Before the expansion, all cartoning was done manually, with operators handling the output of two upstream horizontal form/fill/seal pouch machines. "We used to do that work manually with three people per shift," says El Alaoui. "e first person folded the carton, the second one put the pouches inside, and the third worker put it into the corrugated box." With demand increasing and qualified workers becoming more difficult to find, Pharmalab realized it had to increase its cartoning efficiency and manage labor costs. Step one in considering an equipment investment was to develop a URS (User Require- ment Specifications) documenta- tion of its equipment needs. is information was sent to at least three different cartoner manu- facturers. "We went through our due diligence with each of the three companies and we chose AFA," says El Alaoui. AFA earned Pharmalab's business for a variety of reasons, he explains. "eir knowledge of that business, their experience in making carton- ers, their understanding of the technology, and the results from the references they gave us were among them. We also went to see their cartoners work in other industries. eir technical service was better than the others, and the price was good." Robotic cartoning adds efficiency, subtracts labor costs Robotic cartoning replaces manual operations, alleviating labor shortages and costs, while increasing line efficiency for contract manufacturer Pharmalab Inc. 6 • C O N T R A C T PA C K A G I N G • M A R C H | A P R I L 2 0 1 4 CARTON SETUP.

Deciding On a Major
You won't need to declare (choose) a major, the primary subject you have decided to study, the moment you are admitted, but it's good to start thinking about your major sooner rather than later if you want to earn your degree in a specific field.
For example, you may choose to major in English, computer science, or accounting. The majority of courses that you take will be in the field of study you choose. If you are undecided about a major, don't worry. You can follow a course of study in general studies and still get your associate's degree.
It's important to realize that choosing a major isn't always the same as choosing a career. If you study math as your major, it doesn't mean you have to be a mathematician when you graduate. Your major can be the broad base for a number of different career options. Majoring in math, for example, might prepare you for a variety of careers in science, business, insurance, or engineering.
It's also important to understand that once you've chosen a major, it doesn't mean you're stuck with it. You can change your mind if you think you've made a mistake, or find that the selection you've made won't lead you where you want to go.
Most students change their minds at least once about what they want to study. But you don't want to change majors too often, as it can cost you time and money to start over in a new area.
Once you do decide on a major, you'll want to examine the required coursework, be sure you understand what the pre-requisites are, and know the number of credits you must earn to complete the degree or certificate in that major. The sooner you choose a major, the more time you'll be able to spend taking courses that count toward your degree.
Academic advisors, professors, and career centers are are all resources that are available to help you choose a major.
These are courses that may complement your major or that you choose just because they interest you. For example, if you're majoring in English, you might choose an elective course in communications as a related field, or in accounting as an unrelated field.
Vocational/technical programs tend to have a more defined curriculum (course of study) and often do not offer as many opportunities for elective coursework as do liberal arts-based programs of study.
Transfer Considerations
If you think you'll want to transfer to a four-year institution, you'll want to select courses early on that will transfer smoothly to the institution you want to attend. You may even be in a special transfer studies program geared especially to this goal of helping you switch into a four-year institution and helping you prepare for a major there. Different four-year colleges have different requirements for transfer. See Chapter 10 for more information about transferring.

Bojinov back in Citizens fold
01 Oct 2008 - 14:35:17
Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has confirmed that injury-jinxed striker Valeri Bojinov has returned to training at the Premier League club.
The 22-year-old, who missed most of last season with a serious knee injury, suffered an Achilles injury during the warm-up for the clash with Aston Villa on the opening day of the new season.
That left Bojinov requiring another round of surgery and facing around six months out of action.
Hughes told the club's official website: "He's back with us now and will be starting his rehabilitation in earnest.
"He was showing everybody his scar yesterday, like a war wound. I've seen scars from that type of injury before and they looked a lot angrier than Valeri's does.
"It looks excellent in fairness and we're very hopeful given where the tendon snapped. If there is a good place it was the optimum position, right in the middle, so the prognosis is really good for him.
"We've kept in touch while he's been away and he's got the right type of personality to be able to deal with these setbacks.
"He's had to be positive because he's had a number of them so early in his career.
"But he's a positive guy at the best of times, so he'll get his head down now and work extremely hard, like he always does."

Comments, questions and tips
Found this very easy to make and after a really good churn in my ice cream maker, it was fairly creamy. The melon makes it lovely and refreshing too.
Before I had my ice cream maker, I would whisk it up in my food processer before putting it the freezer and whisk it by hand or in the food processer every couple of hours to avoid it being completely like a sorbet.
This is a fantastic recipe - I've already made it four times; three times with a Gala melon (couldn't find Cantaloupe) and once with a Watermelon! I don't have an icecream maker, so do the stirring by hand.
It is so easy to do - I would even debate the 30 minutes preparation (depends on how long it takes you to carve out a melon - I can do it in under 10 mins) - I have it in the freezer in 20 mins or so.
It tastes about half way between a sorbet and an icecream - a definite winner!

You can use a templating framework such as Velocity, etc. You pass some parameters to the template and generate the html contents.
At the simplest level, you can write your HTML as JSP pages, and have Java Beans that connect to it, typically using servlets. You then run your code using something like Tomcat or JBoss or Glassfish.
Your Java code does its thing (talk to database, read files, calculate stuff, etc.) and then updates portions of the JSP pages, which are displayed to the user in any normal browser.

More progress on marriage equality
Posted By Rob Schofield On January 23, 2014 @ 7:29 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Virginia's attorney general has become the latest to conclude that his state's ban on marriage equality is unconstitutional. As WRAL.com reports [1]:
"Following a seismic political shift in Virginia's top elected offices, the new attorney general has concluded that the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional and he will no longer defend it in federal lawsuits, his office said Thursday.
Virginia, widely considered a battleground state in the nationwide fight to grant same-sex couples the right to wed, will instead side with the plaintiffs who are seeking to have the ban struck down, a spokesman for Attorney General Mark Herring said in an email to The Associated Press.
'After a thorough legal review of the matter, Attorney General Herring has concluded that Virginia's current ban is in violation of the U.S. constitution and he will not defend it,' spokesman Michael Kelly wrote."
This new decision is just the latest in what NC Policy Watch contributor Dr. Charles Beem described a few weeks ago as an inevitable procession of dominoes [2] in this area. It's now becoming a matter of "when" rather than "what" on the marriage equality question.
