Ashley Obrest assumed control of the Boston College softball program for the 2012 season and enters her fourth year as head coach of the Eagles. The Eagles had a 14-38 record under Obrest in 2013 and were led offensively by Tory Speer, who was named captain for the 2014 season along with Nicole D'Argento and Alana DiMaso. Speer hit 15 homeruns to set a single-season Boston College record and earned second-team All-ACC Honors. In her first campaign, Obrest guided Boston College to its first 20-win season in five years. The new skipper guided the Eagles to their best start in the previous decade, winning 10 of the first 12 games, before finishing with a 23-30 (3-18 ACC) mark. BC was victorious in the games versus NCAA Tournament teams, including the first defeat of a nationally ranked team (North Carolina) in three seasons. Under Obrest's tutelage, junior Nicole D'Argento pitched and hit her way to First Team All-ACC honors and freshman second baseman Andrea Filler collected a second team accolade. Following a two-year stint as the assistant coach, Obrest was promoted to head coach of Colgate University in July 2010. The 2011 season saw the Elmwood Park, Ill. native set a school record for most wins by a first year head coach (27) and led the Raiders to a regular season Patriot League title with a 16-3 conference mark. Colgate earned numerous honors under Obrest's tutelage. Rachel LeCoq was voted the Patriot League Pitcher of the Year and a first team All-League selection en route to being named to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Northeast All-Region second team. Tera Vaughan was tabbed as the 2011 Patriot League Rookie of the Year, the NCAA Division I Hardest Person to Strike Out and was anot first team All-Patriot League selection. The Raiders also had four Patriot League second team honorees and a quartet of Academic Honor Roll selections that same year. During the 2009 and 2010 seasons, Colgate received four first team and five second team All-Patriot League selections, one All-Region honoree and had nine Academic Honor Roll achievements. Prior to joining Colgate, Obrest has served as an assistant coach at Concordia University in Chicago and as a private hitting and catching instructor for the Chicago White Sox Training Academy from 2007-08. While at Boston College, Obrest was a four-year letter winner. The catcher was the first Eagles softball player to garner an ACC Player of the Week accolade. As of her hire date, Obrest was still listed in the school's record book for career runs batted in (95), as well as single-season on-base percentage (.423) and walks (28). The '07 grad was also a part of numerous SAAC initiatives, including the Pen Pal Program, Food for Families and the hospital visitation programs. Obrest earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Boston College in 2007, before going on to achieve a Master of Science in Sport Management from SUNY Cortland in 2010. The Obrest File |

I had someone on the deviantart political forum tell me there was no fascists involved in the Ukrainian coup.
I then sent him a link to the Svoboda party, and he actually told me I was lying. I SENT PROOF!
I had more evidence than that single link, but wasting anymore time on that guy was pointless...He said there was no fascists in the Ukrainian coup even after I proved it. I can not tell you how many times I have heard someone give me Oreilly and Maddow talking points on this issue.
Anyways, here are some of those Ukrainian fascists "i am making up" in action.
Look how the New York Daily News spins this situation...Just look at the headline.
Head of Ukraine TV slapped around by politicians, forced to resign on camera
Politicians? THEY ARE FASCISTS! Fascists who now have more power in Ukraine then before the coup occurred. That article then goes on to refer to the Svoboda party as just "far right."
And Yes, the Svoboda party is fascist/neo-nazi, their prior name was the Social-National Party(Does that sound familiar? As in 'national socialist')
The Social-National Party of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Соціал-національна партія України) (SNPU) was a far right party in Ukraine that would later become a leading Ukrainian party, Svoboda. The party combined radical nationalism and some neo-Nazi features.[3]
The party was registered on October 16, 1995;[1][4] although the original movement was founded on October 13, 1991, in Lviv. According to Der Spiegel the "Social-National Party" title was an "intentional reference to Adolf Hitler's National Socialist party."[5] Another echo was the use of the Wolfsangel logo, a symbol popular among neo-Nazi groups,[6] which also formed the letters I and N ("Idea Natsii" Ukrainian for "idea of a nation").
Thank God for alternative Media. This is how the headline should read.

The team at Levy von Beck & Associates helped us release a lien that a contractor decided to put on our house, with no cause whatsoever. We were extremely pleased with the legal services provided by Levy von Beck & Associates, and recommend them for every person or company in need of professional, prompt and efficient legal services. Not only did they solve the problem in a very cost-efficient manner, but they offered us several options, and reassured us every step of the way.
We were in a very tough, awful situation when Dave agreed to help us. I had worked the phones with banks for months, trying to negotiate terms on a reasonable basis. I approached Dave on the advice of a realtor who had a good experience with Dave. Dave was wonderful... direct, smart, savvy, no-nonsense, yet very sensitive to our issues and the 'people' issues involved from all parties (banks, buyers, realtors, us). He was very efficient AND effective. Our result was as good as we could have hoped, despite incredible torture, ineptitude, delay, and irrationality from the banks. Dave kept everyone on board through it all, and buffered us from the worst from all sides, while keeping us totally informed. He kept our interests at the center and made it happen. We are eternally grateful. I could not recommend an attorney more.
Mr. Dave von Beck handled our case very well. We are happy we went with him, as he took our concerns seriously. He was able to steer us through the emotional and legistical hurdles and ultimately into a pragmatic and favorable resolution of our case.
Mr. von Beck came highly recommended by some of Seattle's top lawyers and performed to that eminent standard. He and his associates were able to successfully negotiate a satisfactory settlement for us and our shoddy home remodel. He accurately assessed the parties involved (contractor, subs, insurances) and where we might find resources to make our home livable again. He anticipated our legal needs and options better than we could. He performed professionally and instantly identified when a beneficial course of action presented resulting in a favorable closure.
His fees were reasonable and fair based on my research. He and his associates were pleasant, timely and very easy to work with.
It's always good to have someone in your corner when dealing with contractors, insurance companies and the legal issues that sometime come up surrounding them. As a home owner and laymen I instantly knew that Dave was the guy I wanted to handle my case. He was professional, responsive and resiliant. He always kept me informed and answered any of my questions quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend Dave if you need this type of attorney...
Our small construction job was 75% complete when we discovered that the contractor we had hired was not paying the subcontractors and had performed substandard work. Liens were placed on our main house. Upon excellent advice, we turned to David von Beck for legal help. He saved the day! He quickly assessed the situation, negotiated lien-settlements, and then worked with the contractor's insurance company to compensate us for the faulty work. Dave was totally responsive, kept us informed of each development, and clearly brought thorough knowledge and clever negotiating skills to our case. All things considered, we were a small case but we felt that we had his complete attention and that he was in command of every detail of our lawsuit. In addition, Dave is a pleasant and courteous individual with whom it was a pleasure to work. He transformed what was almost a nightmare for us into a situation that could be solved--and that he did, much to our advantage. We recommend him with enthusiasm and complete confidence as a skilled and highly professional attorney.
Dave von Beck represented me in a condo insurance case against another owner. He was able to answer my questions about the case and set up realistic expectations about the outcome. His knowledge of condominium law was totally solid. He was extremely responsive, even though I was by no means his biggest client. He was honest, helpful and fought hard to get me a good outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for condominium, insurance, or construction matters.
I could not have been more pleased with Dave. He helped me through an extremely traumatic and frustrating situation in which my condo was destroyed by water due to negligence on another owner's part. Dave broked no nonsense from the insurance, kept me informed of his progress, and made sure I received that which I was owed. Having someone I could trust in my corner was the only thing that kept me sane during a long and frustrating process. I highly recommend the legal services of Dave von Beck, he is a true professional.
We highly recommend David von Beck and his team for your legal needs.
They took over a hopelessly messed up construction claim against the builder of our home, and quickly got it back on track.
We so appreciate his timely responses, eye for detail, expertise and his prompt attention to every detail of our case.
Again, we highly recommend this lawyer, he will take care of your interests.
Whille I don't have other legal experiences as a reference, I'd have to say that the HOA board felt informed and part of the process throughout our lawsuit and mediation. Dave returned calls promptly and guided us through the decisions that we needed to make. He presented us with a clear view of the options. The process seemed very collaborative, yet he gave strong legal opinion throughout the process..

Pass2U Passbook 1.1 Review
Turn your smartphone into a wallet for tickets and cards with Pass2U Passbook.
iOS 6's Passbook app made plenty of Android fans jealous when it debuted. The good news is that you actually have plenty of ways to control tickets and loyalty cards on your Android. Pass2U Passbook is made to work just like the Apple Passbook app so many iFans love. This app is a good clone and a great app for travelers or urban explorers.
Pass2U Passbook works with .pkpass files, which is great if you're converting from iOS, but it isn't as ubiquitous on Android. It does cleanly present all of your passes in a stylish, completely ad-free menu, though. You can organize your files by type and even get them to appear on your phone's lock screen in some versions of Android. If you're a frequent flyer, you know how convenient that is. Pass2U has a feature in the settings that seems to look for nearby coupon codes and ticket information. It didn't find anything or turn on GPS during testing, though. That might be included on a future update. If and when that gets straightened out, this will be a home run app. Until then, it's still one of the best Passbook clones on Android.
Download Pass2U if you're tired of fumbling for your coupons or tickets. It's a well-made app that will help you cut down the clutter in your purse or wallet.

PCCW Limited (Chinese: 電訊盈科有限公司) is the holding company of HKT Group Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong based Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) company. PCCW also holds a majority interest in Pacific Century Premium Developments Limited. PCCW is headquartered in Hong Kong and maintains a presence in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, mainland China and other parts of Asia.
PCCW shares are listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange SEHK: 0008, and traded in the form of American Depositary Receipts on the Pink OTC Markets in the US (Ticker: PCCWY).
Contents |
HKT Group Holdings Limited (HKT) was formed in 2008 to hold the telecommunications services, media and IT solutions businesses of the PCCW Group in a reorganization designed to improve the Group's operational efficiencies. PCCW/HKT was the first provider of Hong Kong's quadruple-play experience[clarification needed], and offers a range of media content and services across four platforms – fixed-line, broadband Internet, TV and mobile. the group meets the telecommunications needs of the local and international business community, while supporting network operators with technical services and handling large-scale IT outsourcing projects for public and private sector organizations.
In recent years, the Group has made the transition from a traditional telecom operator to a next-generation provider of media content, applications and transactional services.
With more than 2.58 million business and residential lines in service, the Group has a leadership position in the fixed-line market in Hong Kong. In the broadband market, its NETVIGATOR Internet broadband service has the largest share of the market with 1.367 million retail and business customers. The Group's IPTV service, now TV, has reached more than 40% of the estimated 2.3 million households in Hong Kong. The Group under the PCCW mobile brand has also invested significantly in expanding its 3G network since its return to the mobile market in 2005 – since then its 3G customer number has grown more than 10 times.[citation needed]
PCCW/HKT has more than 8,000 PCCW Wi-Fi hotspots cover various busy locations such as food outlets, shopping malls, universities, and public transport, and the number is growing continuously. After laying enough optical fibers in Hong Kong to circle the planet 33 times, the Group has made the broadband capabilities of this technology available to some 77% of the territory's households at speeds of up to 1,000 Mbit/s.[citation needed]
PCCW/HKT is the only operator in Hong Kong - and one of the few in the world - to offer genuine quadruple-play experience to customers.[citation needed] This means that the same infotainment, applications and transactional services are made available where appropriate via the four customer-delivery platforms - fixed-line, broadband Internet, mobile and TV. Customers can tailor their own lifestyle according to personal preference and schedule.
A considerable part of the infotainment content comes from now TV, launched in 2003 and widely regarded as one of the world's most successful commercial deployments of IPTV. As of December 2010, now TV had expanded its customer base to 1,039,000 subscribers. Viewers may choose from more than 190 channels, about half of which offer movies, sports, news and general entertainment programs.
The flexibility of the Group's quadruple-play capability allows customers to watch now TV programming not only on a TV set, but also on a mobile phone, an online PC, or its eye Multimedia Service and PCCW eye2. Also available under the quadruple-play offerings is a range of lifestyle services such as the MOOV digital music streaming, snaap! (where friends and families can share photos and videos stored digitally on the PCCW/HKT network and view them via the quadruple-play platforms), Yellow Pages directories, etc.
The PCCW Commercial Group is providing integrated ICT solutions to small, medium and large enterprises. One of its milestone commercial projects was Asia's largest IP-enabled network for securities and derivatives markets. Built for Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and known as SDNet, the network lays the foundation for the long-term growth of Hong Kong as an international financial center.
PCCW Solutions is the Group's IT and business process outsourcing flagship. It has worked on projects for customers in financial services, public service, telecommunications and the enterprise community. Its accomplishments include a state-of-the-art Electronic Passport System, known as e-PASS, and the Smart Identity Card system for the Hong Kong SAR Government.
PCCW Teleservices operates a contact center outsourcing business and boasts one of the region's largest contact management networks and a significant operation in the U.S. It handles inbound and outbound calls, emails and other transactions for customers, and serves many multinational companies.
PCCW Global provides integrated global communications solutions, runs a fully meshed IP, fiber and satellite network and serves the voice, data and multimedia needs of multinational enterprises, as well as the operational requirements of service providers.[citation needed]
PCCW's businesses have a presence in the following regions[1]:
PCCW's fixed-line service, eye Multimedia Service and PCCW eye2 are delivered by Hong Kong Telecommunications (HKT) Limited, an operating division of HKT Group Holdings Limited. The Group's fixed-line network enables users to make local and international phone calls with voice availability of 99.99%.
As a breakthrough in voice communications service, the eye Multimedia Service also provides a wide range of infotainment and practical applications. Users can make voice or video calls, watch now TV, access a digital music service, listen to fairytale stories, learn languages, listen to Cantonese opera, shop from home, pay bills, browse Yellow Pages, check real-time stock quotes, place bets and watch live horse-racing, purchase Mark Six, check Octopus transactions, etc. PCCW eye2 is a portable media center with an 8-inch (200 mm) touch-screen LED monitor, through which customers can access more than 100 types of content and interactive applications.
As one of the Group's four Quadruple-play platforms, NETVIGATOR is Hong Kong's leading broadband provider. NETVIGATOR reaches 97% of all households in Hong Kong and serves broadband users with a choice of Internet access speeds, plus practical value-added services. The capabilities of optical fiber are available to 67% of Hong Kong's households via a variety of NETVIGATOR Fiber Direct service packages.[2]
NETVIGATOR broadband users can stay connected to the Internet anytime, anywhere via NETVIGATOR Home Wireless, more than 8,000 PCCW Wi-Fi hotspots and NETVIGATOR Everywhere, a unique wireless solution interconnecting Wi-Fi•HSPA networks.
PCCW mobile is an operating division of HKT Group Holdings Limited (HKT).
As well as providing voice and data communications, PCCW mobile serves a broad spectrum of customers by offering media content and interactive services as one of the Group's four quadruple-play platforms. This enables subscribers to choose mobile services, such as real-time TV, streamed digital music, shared viewing of photos and video clips, remote monitoring, ticketing, instant messaging, email solutions and an integrated fixed/mobile office communications solution.
now TV is one of the world's largest commercial deployments of IPTV and one of the largest pay-TV providers at Hong Kong.

PCCW announced the formation of wholly owned subsidiary CASCADE Limited in January 2003 and transferred almost a quarter of its total work force to Cascade. Cascade employs more than 3,000 staff as of June 2003. Cascade provides PCCW's telecommunications network operations with support and maintenance services. It provides also network infrastructure design, build-out and maintenance services, consulting solutions, customer installation and maintenance services, project management, operating systems development and maintenance and technical support to clients other than PCCW. Started from Dec 08, Cascade became a Subsidiary of PCCW-HKT Limited, which PCCW-HKT is still 100% owned by PCCW. The name of Cascade is removed from now on, become a part of HKT and named as "Engineering", a business unit of PCCW-HKT, simply like Commercial group of PCCW. All staff in Cascade had transferred to PCCW-HKT without changing. [3]
PCCW Global is an operating division of HKT Group Holdings Limited (HKT). With centers in Hong Kong, Herndon, Virginia in the US, London in the UK, and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, plus teams covering the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americas, PCCW Global supply the voice and data needs of multinational enterprises, as well as the operational requirements of service providers. The PCCW Global network covers over 1,500 cities and 110 countries, and supports a list of integrated global communications solutions which include:
On 24 February 2008, Pakistan Telecom caused a major interruption of access to the video sharing website YouTube. Pakistani Government authorities directed Pakistan Telecom (PTCL) to "block" the YouTube site, to prevent access within Pakistan. PTCL engineers accidentally leaked a "black hole" announcement to PCCW. PCCW had recently provided temporary access to PTCL in order to restore the nation's loss of internet access due to a previous major submarine cable break event. PTCL began leaking the "black hole" BGP announcement to PCCW prior to PCCW's completion of the BGP validation and filtering policies process on the newly activated link. This allowed the announcement to propagate to other networks.
Once detected, PCCW immediately blocked the leaked announcement from PTCL and access was restored to YouTube within 2 hours." [4][5]
As an operating division of HKT Group Holdings Limited (HKT), PCCW Solutions is the IT and business process outsourcing flagship of the Group.
PCCW Solutions is the information technology services and business process outsourcing (BPO) division of PCCW. Press releases prior to February 2006 refer to it by the name Unihub. It is owned by Wen Yunsong, son of China's prime minister Wen Jiabao.[6] Unihib was a re-branding of PCCW's Business eSolutions division, from 1 September 2003.[7]
Business eSolutions division formed a venture with China Telecom to provide IT solutions to major business organizations in 2002. This was in addition to PCCW's PCITC alliance with Sinopec, formed to serve Sinopec plus other players in China's petrochemical sector. The division also contributed to the new Hong Kong Identity Card system in 2003.[6]
In early 2003, Business eSolutions entered a contract to provide services for Bank of China's credit-card back office processing system in China.[citation needed] It also extended a 2002 enterprise resource planning (ERP) project into more provinces for China Mobile and completed the flight information display system (FIDS) for Xiamen Airport, and a human resource management and financial management system for the Hong Kong Council of Social Service.[citation needed]
Majority-owned by PCCW, Pacific Century Premium Developments Limited ("PCPD", SEHK: 00432) is principally engaged in the development and management of premium property and infrastructure projects, as well as investment in premium-grade buildings in the Asia-Pacific region.
PCPD holds the development rights for the Cyberport project, which is owned by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and includes the prestigious Bel-Air residential development.
Apart from the signature Bel-Air residential development, PCPD holds the first right of refusal to join with PCCW to redevelop PCCW-owned telephone exchange buildings into residential and / or commercial properties. While it continues to explore high-end development potential in Hong Kong, PCPD also plans to pursue opportunities in the mainland China property market. As part of the ongoing exploration of development potential in other parts of Asia Pacific, PCPD has drawn up long-term plans to develop resorts at Hanazono, Hokkaido in Japan and Phang-nga in Southern Thailand.

The UK Broadband Group (UKBG) provides equipment and wireless services and solutions to the telecommunications industry, service providers, channel partners and the public sector in the U.K. The Group holds multiple licenses for both fixed and mobile spectrum. It offers include 4th generation Wireless Technology (4G), Wi-Fi, Wireless Ethernet and fixed high-speed wireless link services, as well as wholesale wireless data capacity. UKBG is a wholly owned subsidiary of PCCW and it combines the role of being PCCW's 4G wireless technology centre with building a wireless services, and wholesale data capacity business in the UK focused on B2B and B2G customers, in particular the public sector and businesses looking for wireless data solutions for their needs in CCTV, mobile working, education, healthcare, disciplined services, transport, data offload, wireless Ethernet and resilient connectivity. (source: http://www.ukbroadband.co.uk/)
In reality, although the company won several of the auctions for UK fixed wireless broadband access licences in 2004, and purchased several more in post-auction deals, its UK consumer wireless broadband service (known variously as Netvigator, and later Now! Broadband) has never had a significant roll-out and subscriber numbers are negligible in comparison with the potentially addressable market. Their Netvigator service has actually closed down in some geographies where a service was initially offered.
PCCW contributes to the community through sponsorship, environment friendly practices and volunteer services.
The PCCW CSR Policy sets forth standards of social behavior that are able to meet and exceed the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations in five focus areas. They are:Caring for Community, Caring for Environment, Caring for People, Supply Chain Management and Corporate Governance. Community services - PCCW provides communications services for a variety of social service schemes. This includes support for students, single parents, the unemployed, distressed people and the elderly who benefit from counseling hotlines, info-line services for Medilink and networks to help find employment.[6]
During each year, PCCW continues to contribute to the community by providing practical and financial help to charitable, community, cultural and environmental causes. Volunteer service groups formed by PCCW employees and their family members also continue to provide their long-term service or ad hoc programs.
Caring for Environment - PCCW assigns a high priority to the protection of the environment when conducting company activities. PCCW has been a member of the Environmental Committee of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce since the early 90s. The Committee periodically meets to discuss environmental issues such as Hong Kong air quality and carbon reduction measures. PCCW has also been a Board member of Business Environment Council (BEC) since the early 90s and was one of the founding members of Private Sector Committee on the Environment (PSCE).
Caring for People - Employee Caring - PCCW activities in relation to employee caring can be categorized into four areas: employee satisfaction initiatives; learning and development; health and safety; and employee welfare.
Supply Chain Management - PCCW maintains relationships with more than 1,000 suppliers globally. It has been a practice to require its suppliers to comply with the necessary regulations governing labor, health and safety, environment, etc. To meet the increasingly stringent requirements as a leading corporate citizen, the Company aims to adopt a more coordinated approach in the supply chain management and to help suppliers understand its CSR policies and practices.
Corporate Governance - The principles of good governance serve to uphold a high standard of ethics, transparency, responsibilities and integrity in all aspects of business and to ensure that corporate affairs are conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company Board endorses a Corporate Governance Report each year and it is published in its annual report .[citation needed]
The PCCW foundation has provided sponsorship for local data network service for the Internet2 project initiated by the Joint Universities Computer Center (JUCC). The project enables staff and students at local universities to connect and exchange with Internet2 universities all over the world in researching the next generation of networking technologies. The foundation also supports the Workplace English Campaign and other education-related initiatives, such as annual scholarships for top students nominated by local universities.
PCCW was formed by Richard Li, the younger son of Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka Shing. Formerly Pacific Century Development, it was an investment holding company. The company's English name was changed from "Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited" to "PCCW Limited" on 9 August 2002.
It then won a controversial land deal, acquiring valuable waterfront real estate from the government without any public auction bids. Many in Hong Kong cried cronyism, as the Hong Kong Government, under chief executive Tung Chee Hwa, gave away the land to his new high-tech residential and commercial venture called Cyberport.[8]
The stock of Pacific Century CyberWorks from $6.00 to $19.50 in December 1 to 28, 1999. Dec 23 is a Heritage of Pacific Century CyberWorks, break record of single company in Hong Kong history with 5 billion dollars transaction. Pacific Century CyberWorks become the seventh ( value over 170 billion HKD ) listing company in Hong Kong Exchange in Dec 28, 1999.
PCCW acquired Hong Kong Telecom (HKT) in August 2000, which was formerly known as the Hong Kong Telephone Company (founded in 1925).[citation needed] Initially, HKT owner Cable & Wireless entertained a bid from Singapore Telecommunications, but there was Beijing concern about a Singapore company owning the largest Hong Kong telephone system.[citation needed] PCCW entered the scene and offered Cable and Wireless PCCW stock and US$11 billion in bank loans by HSBC, Bank of China, BNP Paribas & Barclays.[citation needed] The acquisition vaulted PCCW from a dot-com holdings company to one of the largest universal corporations in Hong Kong. PCCW is now also the leading Internet service provider in Hong Kong,[citation needed] using the Netvigator brand for dialup modem and DSL service. PCCW has been the object of much scorn in Hong Kong as a result of the HKT purchase.[citation needed] In 2003 the company's stock price was down 96 percent from its 2000 peak.[citation needed] In the face of challenges due to debt, intense local telecoms competition and a struggling international joint venture Reach (50/50 owned by PCCW and Telstra), PCCW was the worst-performing blue chip on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) in 2002 and 2003.[citation needed]
In 2003, Cable and Wireless finished cashing in all the stock from the 14.7 percent stake it had in PCCW. Worth US$5 billion at the time of the 2000 acquisition of HKT, the stock sales yielded only $1.9 billion in the end.[citation needed]
Richard Li gave up his spot as PCCW's chief executive officer in July 2003 but remained as chairman and executive director. Jack So, who left his chairman position at Hong Kong subway operator MTR Corporation Limited, took up the job of group managing director at PCCW on 25 July 2003.
Although PCCW's substantial shareholder China Netcom had earlier expressed objection to any disposal of key assets to foreign groups, it also refused to increase its stake; Richard Li attempted to exit from the business in 2006. Li received competing offers by two consortia led by Australia's Macquarie Bank and private equity firm Texas Pacific Group/Newbridge submitted expressions of interest last month to acquire PCCW's core telecom and media assets.[9]
PCCW chairman Richard Li has agreed to sell his indirectly held 22.66 percent stake in PCCW on 11 July 2006 to Fiorlatte Ltd, a new startup company wholly owned by Francis Leung Pak-to, for a total consideration of HK$9.16 billion. In turn, Francis Leung Pak-to has agreed to sell an 8% stake in PCCW to Telefónica for 323 million euros.[citation needed] Leung, former Peregrine investment banker, is closely associated with Li Ka-shing. PCCW's stock, which had joined Hang Seng Index (HSI) index on 9 August 2000,[10] ceased to be a HSI constituent, effective 10 June 2008.[11] PCCW
News report from the Sunday Times on 6 February 2003 revealed that PCCW made a preliminary takeover approach to Cable & Wireless on December 2002 as the British company's share languished near record lows.[12]
Li told the Sunday Times newspaper that PCCW would not launch a hostile bid for C&W but that the two companies could work together to enhance shareholders' value.
The Times quoted Li as saying that he was planning to try again that week with a two billion pound (US$3.27 billion) bid for C&W. Following the news report, PCCW issued a statement through the Hong Kong stock exchange on 6 February 2003 morning saying it had not made a formal offer for C&W and was not in takeover talks with the company. Later in the day, in London and Hong Kong, PCCW issued statements saying it had made a preliminary takeover approach to C&W in a letter at the end of 2002.
PCCW apologised on 10 February 2003 for making what were seen by some in the market as contradictory statements. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange demanded an explanation from PCCW after noting discrepancies between the two statements regarding its approach to C&W about a possible bid.
In any case, C&W had rebuffed PCCW's takeover approach by February 2003.[13]
An attempt was made in December 2008 to take the company private. On 30 December, majority shareholders Pacific Century Regional Developments, controlled by Richard Li, and China Unicom Group raised their joint offer for PCCW from HK$4.20 a share, minutes before shareholders were due to vote on the original buyout plan.
In a heated shareholders meeting held on 4 February 2009 which lasted seven and a half hours, the shareholders approved the PCCW plan allowing its majority shareholders to force out all minority shareholders of the company amidst allegations of vote-buying.[14] Privatisation would allow PCCW to be delisted from Hong Kong Stock Exchange,[15] while its parent would remain listed in Singapore.
Governance activist David Webb alerted the authorities to allegations that hundreds of agents at Fortis Insurance Co. (Asia), once part of PCCW, may have been given board lots of 1,000 PCCW shares.[16] The Securities and Futures Commission found that Francis Yuen, a Li associate and member of the buyout group, had instructed a senior executive at Fortis to distribute PCCW shares to about 500 Fortis agents. Yuen and Fortis Asia regional director, Inneo Lam, had exchanged telephone calls shortly before Lam ordered half a million PCCW shares that were later split into board lots and given away to his staff;[17] Lam's secretary had asked for, and received, share transfer forms from Yuen's secretary. Majority shareholders gained approval from the High Court to proceed in their US$2.2 billion privatisation, but the Appeals Court unanimously overturned the ruling.[18]

The Reality of Continuous Monitoring Is Your Agency Secure?
Is your agency coping with identifying and protecting against the constant barrage of sophisticated cyber threats, while at the same time, trying to improve your FISMA scores? From reduced resources (budget, manpower and unified vision), to lack of an automated risk mitigation capabilities, these factors continue to impact civilian agency FISMA scores. WTOP brings together a panel of network security experts to explore the challenges civilian agencies face in dealing with critical cyber security concerns, and discuss how to coordinate defenses, leverage advanced tools and take advantage of CDM programs to help agencies tackle these issues. The White House has emphasized the need for continuous monitoring since 2010, and as part of the FY13 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, DHS is to assist other federal agencies in enhancing their cybersecurity efforts. The CDM initiative gives participating agencies the means to implement continuous monitoring as a service (CMaaS), which is a bundled solution comprised of systems, sensors, risk- status displays and professional consulting services.

I spent a proud Friday morning at the GA Convention Center for the Delta Air Lines Flight Attendant Graduation of my class! We got our diplomas and wings, and shared lots of laughter and tears and hugs. I can not believe the 25 of us in C-3 have survived the last 7 weeks! I've learned so much and met new friends and am beginning a career in Fortune Magazine's Most Admired Airline in the world.
On Wednesday I fly to New York City for base orientation and my first flight of the month! When I was last in NYC for New York Comic Con, I mentioned to a few friends how much I would love to be in the city more often, and lo and behold, now I have a job that requires me to be in NYC for half of each month. I am excited to see my friends and eat delicious food and shop in little boutiques, and do a whole lot of walking.
I haven't let down my hair (literally) in a month and a half, both my knees are bruised up from hands on drills all week long, and I am dying for some social interaction with my friends, but it's all been worth it and from here on the world is going to be a much smaller place for me. I can't wait to visit my family, and many buds around the States and other countries.
For those who've asked me if I will find time to continuing cosplaying and go to cons - I will of course keep doing both. Delta is a very flexible company and I will do my best to work with my flight schedule and my cosplay/con related schedule. Hopefully with planning and time management, I can handle the multiple responsibilities.
Speaking of cosplay and costume making - I just signed a book contract for an artbook of my work with New Babel Books! During those long layovers in strange cities I plan to do a lot of writing for it. Here is the preliminary announcement, more info coming soon.
I am also working on costumes for Megacon. Pending the arrival of my ordered fabrics, I hopefully will have two brand new comic book costumes to debut at Megacon. I'll say this much - one is Marvel, one is DC ^_-.
Lastly, check out www.YayaHan.com for a sizable update! New costume gallery addition, new blog post, and preview of a fashion shoot. Hope everyone is having a great and relaxing Sunday morning

Ok. I was just wondering what your guys and gals record times are forl raise and hold's. (where you lift a weight from your hips and hold out in front of u at chest height for as long as possible)
Do it after a workout and see how you do.
Grab a 10kg (22lb)weight disc (or any weight of your choice but thats what i use) and hold it with two hands, and lift and hold for as long as possible.
I did it again today and recorded my time.
After workout.
Weight: 10kg 22lb) disc
Time: 1 minute 5 seconds. (personal best befoer workout is, 1 minute 40 seconds)
Burns the lats like damn hell!
I have also one a one handed raise and hold with the 10kg disc, and my time for that was 22 seconds i think.
Post away . I wanna see if anyone can break the 2 minute mark for the two handed 10kg hold. Cuz that wud be very impressive to me.

text: The 10 Best Hitchcock Filmsby David AbramsApr 23, 2000 The first time I remember seeing anything directed by Alfred Hitchcock was in 1976. I was barely a teenager and just ready to enter the big, scary world of adults. I was sitting cross-legged on the floor of my living room. It was late in the evening. I was wearing a �Spirit of �76� bicentennial T-shirt. The lights were low. I wasn�t even watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie. No, my dear readers, I was watching a documentary called Life Goes to the Movies, a compilation of classic scenes from some of the best movies ever made. This was no short-attention-span, whirlwind clipfest like they show at the Academy Awards; this was a loving tribute to the cinema which played entire scenes from some of the great ones like Gone With the Wind and Dr. Zhivago. Eliza Doolittle was singing �Wouldn�t It Be Loverly?� Then it happened. A man, a blonde-haired woman, a grandmother and a little girl my age were sitting in their cozy living room when birds suddenly started pouring into the room through the fireplace. The people screamed, the birds screeched. There was mass confusion. The sparrows kept invading the home like flutter-winged smoke, pecking at the humans, taking small nips of flesh with their beaks. Omigod. My bicentennial T-shirt was thoroughly soaked when that two minutes was up. It was, of course, The Birds and it was my first taste of that macabre master of movies, Sir Alfred Hitchcock. Since that day 24 years ago, I have seen nearly every film he directed (the only exception to date is the universally panned Jamaica Inn and his early silent movies [though I�ve recently purchased some of them on DVD�watch for future epinions]). In short, I love Hitch flicks with every drop of blood in my veins. Hitchcock was the master of control when he sat in the director�s chair. Every scene, every shot was carefully storyboarded long before the cameras started rolling. It�s as if he�d already played the movie on a tiny projector in his mind�the actual filming was a bothersome bore, a tedious process. To say he was brilliant is an understatement. To say he was the greatest director of the 20th century is arguable�but I�ll say it nonetheless: he stood at the top of the mountain while all the rest of Hollywood�s directors were still tangled in their climbing ropes. This is not to say there aren�t some bad Hitchcock movies out there (The Paradine Case and Marnie spring to mind), but when you look at how many movies he directed (37 major sound features and nearly 20 silents), he is pound-for-pound, blood-drop-for-blood-drop unequaled by anyone else. Speaking of blood, there�s surprisingly little of it in his films. The most notorious instance of blood-letting, in Psycho, looks for all the world like chocolate syrup�which, of course, it is. No, Hitchcock�s preferred method of murder was strangulation, a slow process which turned audiences� nerves into something resembling overstretched rubber bands. Hitchcock didn�t resort to gore, he almost never had anyone jump out from the shadows and cry �boo!,� and he never ever dressed his villains in hockey masks or gave them razor blades for fingernails. He used character and good old-fashioned rising tension to make us chew our fingernails to the quick. I doubt he�d have a very high opinion of Jason, Freddy and gang. �Too bloody much blood,� he�d probably sniff. By now it should be obvious that I love All Things Hitchcock (to the point that I once read all the �Three Investigators� mystery books and subscribed to Alfred Hitchcock�s Mystery Magazine�neither of which he had anything to do with, apart from lending them his name and image). Recently, I was encouraged by a couple of Epinions members (thanks kboo and ifif1938!) to compile a list of my Top Ten Hitchcock Movies. Egad! What a chore! How to pick the best ones from a brilliant career? It was nearly an insurmountable task. However, I surmounted. Okay, I won�t keep you in suspense any longer. I know you�re screaming for the List. Here, then, are my favorite Hitch flicks. They are in no particular order and I couldn�t bring myself to place one above the other (though, if a gun was placed to my head, North by Northwest would probably slightly edge out the competition). With each film, I�ve included a quote from Hitchcock himself (taken from Francois Truffaut�s excellent book of interviews). 1. The 39 Steps (1935) Hitchcock had spent nearly ten years toiling in the British studio system, working first as a set designer, then moving his way up to the director�s chair. He made his mark with a couple of decent suspense films (The Lodger and Murder), then turned out his first trademark nail-biter, The Man Who Knew Too Much. But then, one year later, he really hit his stride with The 39 Steps. It�s a classic tale of mistaken identity, featuring a breathtaking chase across the foggy moors while the falsely accused hero is handcuffed to a girl he doesn�t even know. It builds to a crescendo in a symphony hall where a man named Mr. Memory holds in his head the key to the movie�s central question: �What are the 39 Steps?� I guarantee you�ll be on the edge of your seat. �What I like in The 39 Steps are the swift transitions�The rapidity of those transitions heightens the excitement�You use one idea after another and eliminate anything that interferes with the swift pace.� 2. Rebecca (1940) Hitchcock�s first Hollywood movie. Legendary mogul David O. Selznick wooed Hitch across the Atlantic after the success of films like The 39 Steps and Sabotage. The rotund director arrived in Tinseltown expecting to make a movie about the Titanic (but then Selznick told him he�d have to wait another 58 years for a kid named DiCaprio to come of age). Instead, his first project turned out to be a gothic romance�not his usual bag of tricks. Yet Hitchcock managed to turn Daphne du Maurier�s novel into the Best Picture of the Year (according to Oscar). It features great performances by Laurence Olivier (as the emotionally tortured Max De Winter), Joan Fontaine (as the never-named �Second Mrs. De Winter�) and Judith Anderson (as one of the great screen villainesses, Mrs. Danvers). Oh yeah, and there�s the oh-so-suave-and-dry-witted George Sanders who very nearly steals the show. �It has stood up quite well over the years. I don�t know why.� 3. Foreign Correspondent (1940) An American reporter gets mixed up with Nazis vying for the secrets of an Allied treaty. It�s pure flag-waving rah-rah as the war clouds gathered over Europe and the hero�s passionate speech at the conclusion sounds too much like a Senate floor debate, but there are so many classic Hitchcock touches in here that I never fail to get caught up in it every time. There�s the windmill scene where hero Joel McRae barely escapes detection by the bad guys; there�s the assassination scene where the murderer gets away in a crowd full of umbrellas; and there�s a frightening plane crash at sea. Oh yeah, and there�s George Sanders�playing a character named Scott Ffolliottt (�two fs, two ls, two ts�). What more could a movie lover ask for? �The picture was pure fantasy and, as you know, in my fantasies, plausibility is not allowed to rear its ugly head.� 4. Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941) A screwball comedy. �What,� you ask, �is this doing on here?� Mr. and Mrs. Smith proved that Hitchcock could do anything well. Like Howard Hawks and Preston Sturges, Hitch made a wildly funny motion picture about a divorced couple who just can�t seem to get rid of each other. Starring Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard, it�s a sheer delight from start to finish. I watch this one every time I want to plaster a smile on my face. This is probably the least-seen of all Hitchcock�s major features and that�s a shame because it�s really one of his best, even if it is bloodless. �That picture was done as a friendly gesture to Carole Lombard�She asked whether I�d do a picture with her. In a weak moment, I accepted.� 5. Notorious (1946) Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. Sigh. Apart from the perfect casting, this is very nearly the perfect Hitchcock movie. Suspense, romance and humor blend perfectly in the tale about agents, double agents and those nasty Nazis. Some of my favorite scenes in Notorious include the discovery of uranium in the wine bottles, the long tracking shot in a crowded ballroom that goes all the way down to the key clenched in Bergman�s hand and, of course, that loooong kiss between Cary and Ingrid. �Notorious was simply the story of a man in love with a girl who, in the course of her official duties, had to go to bed with another man and even had to marry him. That�s the story.� 6. Rear Window (1954) This was one of Hitchcock�s best-structured films in terms of plot and theme. James Stewart, a photojournalist who�s cooped up with a broken leg in his apartment, starts to spy on his neighbors across the way. His innocent, playful musings suddenly take on a suspicious edge when he thinks he sees a murder in one of the apartments. Or does he? We�re never quite positive until the shattering finale. Hitchcock really tapped a common nerve with this one. Who among us could turn away from the sexual aerobics of Miss Torso or the pathetic candlelight dinners of Miss Lonelyheart? �I was feeling very creative at the time, the batteries were well-charged.� 7. Vertigo (1958) One of Hitchcock�s most personal films, this one probed deep into the director�s sexual psyche. It�s all about obsession and control and the double life femme fatales lead. James Stewart plays a former San Francisco cop who�s afraid of heights. He takes on a case from a friend who wants him to shadow his wife (Kim Novak) who might just be a suicidal neurotic. Gradually, Stewart falls in love with the woman he�s tailing. I�ll stop there because there are some terrific plot twists I don�t want to spoil. This is without a doubt Hitchcock�s most complex movie; as such, it rewards repeat viewings. Stewart and Novak are terrific in their roles, as is Barbara Bel Geddes (who, as Stewart�s best friend, always seems to me to be so much more sexy than the cool blonde Novak). �Miss Novak arrived on the set with all sorts of preconceived notions that I couldn�t possibly go along with. You know, I don�t like to argue with a performer on the set; there�s no reason to bring the electricians in on our troubles. I went to Kim Novak�s dressing room and told her about the dresses and hairdos that I had been planning for several months. I also explained that the story was of less importance to me than the over-all visual impact on the screen.� 8. North by Northwest (1959) Guaranteed, the most fun you can have with your clothes on at a Hitchcock movie. Cary Grant plays a New York businessman who�s mistaken for a government agent by bad guys. Only trouble is, that government agent doesn�t really exist�he was a shadow figure created by the CIA to catch the enemy spies. But now that Cary�s been identified as the non-person, well, they�ll just have to keep playing the game. Meanwhile, he falls for Eva Marie Saint who might be one of the spies or she might be a double agent. Cary pursues her across the Midwest while the spies pursue him pursuing her. Confused? Don�t worry, your head will be spinning by the time you get to the climax on top of Mount Rushmore. The movie clips along at a gallop, never stopping to take a breath. Along the way, there�s so much good humor (courtesy of Mr. Grant) and so much white-knuckle terror (courtesy of Mr. Hitchcock and a certain crop duster) that the details don�t matter. �During the first part, all sorts of things happen to the hero with such bewildering rapidity that he doesn�t know what it�s all about. Cary Grant came up to me and said, �It�s a terrible script. We�ve already done a third of the picture and I still can�t make head or tail of it.�� 9. Psycho (1960) The movie that killed the shower industry. There�s no doubt that if you were to go up to ten people on the street and say the word �Hitchcock,� eight of them would make a sound resembling screeching violins while slashing their fist through the air. The infamous shower scene lasts only forty-five seconds, but contains more than 90 edits. They are probably the most analyzed forty-five seconds of film history. And rightly so. In my book, however, there are two scarier moments which come later in the movie. I first saw this movie long after it came out and the shower scene was a national film icon. I can only imagine what audiences must have thought when they sat down to watch it in 1960. Most of the performances are pretty bland except, of course, for Anthony Perkins. He is Norman Bates. Why wasn�t he even nominated for an Oscar? �My main satisfaction is that the film had an effect on the audience, and I consider that very important. I don�t care about the subject matter; I don�t care about the acting; but I do care about the pieces of film and photography and the soundtrack and all of the technical ingredients that made the audience scream.� 10. The Birds (1963) The movie that killed the pet canary industry. As in most of his later films, the acting is dull as cardboard (Hitchcock was never an actor�s director, but he really seemed to lose his touch as he got older). The thing that makes The Birds so completely gut-wrenching is the creeping realization that there�s something terribly wrong with Nature. Notice how Hitchcock builds suspense slowly�the crows gather one by one on the playground equipment behind Tippi Hedren as she sits on a bench�nothing leaps out and goes �boo!� There�s a lot of excruciating silence in The Birds, a silence that�s broken not by a jarring music soundtrack but by the menacing flutter of bird wings. �For the final scene, in which Rod Taylor opens the door of the house for the first time and finds the birds assembled there, as far as the eye can see, I asked for a silence, but not just any kind of silence. I wanted an electronic silence, a sort of monotonous low hum�It was a strange, artificial sound, which in the language of the birds might be saying, �We�re not ready to attack you yet, but we�re getting ready. We�re like an engine that�s purring and we may start off at any moment.� All of this was suggested by a sound that�s so low that you can�t be sure whether you�re actually hearing it or only imagining it.� I can�t end this list without adding one more special movie. Over the years, in the sincerest form of flattery, other directors have imitated Hitchcock. As they say, �Often imitated, never duplicated.� Then there�s Mel Brooks. If you think you�ve seen every Hitchcock film out there, then you need to check out High Anxiety, Brooks� spoof of about a dozen Hitchcock films. It�s grand silliness�especially the bellboy who stabs Mel with a rolled-up newspaper (�Psycho�) and the pigeons who dive-bomb him with droppings (�The Birds�). |

Through this program, Facebook's millions of U.S. members will have the opportunity to give away a significant amount of free data to their friends, claim free data from other program members, and, if they become a NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband subscriber (even those who choose to sign up for our free service), use the data to access the Internet wirelessly anywhere within our network."
NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband launched in March 2012 as a secure, mobile, super-fast 4G Internet service for laptops, iPads® and other tablets, and netbooks. Unlike public Wi-Fi, where personal information may be exposed to hackers and data thieves, NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband delivers a private, protected Internet connection. NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband subscribers are not required to sign a contract, can join on a month-to-month basis, can cancel at any time, and can upgrade their data plan at will without facing overage charges. New subscribers can also try the service for free for up to a year with the purchase of one of the two NetZero 4G Mobile Broadband devices: the NetZero 4G Stick or the NetZero 4G Hotspot. Each plan delivers 4G mobile broadband service with very fast download speeds of up to 10Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1.5Mbps.

About Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant III
Ulysses Simpson Grant III (July 4, 1881 – August 29, 1968) was the son of Frederick Dent Grant, and the grandson of General of the Army and President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant. He was an American soldier and planner. Grant was involved in a controversy in preparing the celebrations for the centennial of the American Civil War.
Early life
He was born in Chicago and educated in Austria, where his father was the U.S. Minister, as well as in the United States. He attended Columbia University until 1898 when he received an appointment to West Point. He graduated sixth in his class in 1903 (Douglas MacArthur, Grant's classmate, graduated first in the class).
Military career
After his graduation from West Point he was assigned to the Corps of Engineers of the United States Army and graduated from the U.S. Engineer School in 1908. He also served in the General Staff Corps from 1917 to 1920 and again from 1936 to 1940.
Grant served on Mindanao in the Philippines (1903–04); the Cuban Pacification (1906); the Mexican Border Service (1913–17), including the Veracruz Expedition (1914), and the Pancho Villa Expedition (1916); as well as in World War I and World War II.
In 1904 Grant served as an aide to President Theodore Roosevelt. Grant met his future wife while he was at the White House.
In 1907, Grant married Edith Root (1878–1962), the daughter of Elihu Root, the former Secretary of War and Secretary of State. They had three daughters: Edith, Clara Frances, and Julia.
During World War I, Grant was promoted to major. From 1918-19, Major Grant served on the staff of General Tasker H. Bliss, the United States representative at the Supreme War Council at Versailles. Grant was the secretary of the American section. In 1918, he assisted in the treaty negotiations with Germany regarding the treatment of prisoners of war. In 1919, Grant was on the commission to negotiate peace in Paris.
Post WWI career
After the war, Grant returned to the United States and was the District Engineer of the 2nd Engineer District in San Francisco. While in California, Grant also served on the California Debris Commission. On August 28, 1923, Maj. Grant made his first visit to the Sierra Nevada. The superintendent of General Grant National Park (now Kings Canyon National Park) invited Grant to see the park named after Grant's grandfather. Maj. Grant visited the General Grant Grove and the General Grant tree, a Giant Sequoia.
By 1923, Grant went to Washington, D.C. and was the executive officer of the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission and a member of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. In 1925, he was director of the newly created Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital (1925–1933). By 1927 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and was appointed as a co-director of the bicentennial celebration of the birth of George Washington. As the director of the parks in Washington, Grant also supervised the United States Park Police. Grant expanded the police, instituted plain-clothes patrols, and modernized the force with the addition of motorcycles and automobiles. Later, in 1928, Grant ordered the police to crack down on late-night "petters" in the parks.
In 1934, he graduated from the Army War College. He commanded the 1st Engineer Regiment at Fort DuPont, Delaware and the Delaware Civilian Conservation Corps District from 1934 to 1936. He was a full colonel by this time.
In 1936, Grant was the chief of staff of the Second Corps Area at Fort Jay, Governors Island, New York.
Col. Grant, his wife, and her siblings and their spouses were at her father's side when he died in 1937.
In 1940, Grant was Division Engineer for the Great Lakes Engineer Division, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. He was promoted to brigadier general.
From 1941 to mid 1942, he commanded the Engineer Replacement Training Center at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. In July 1942, Grant was made Chief of the Protection Branch of the Office of Civilian Defense in Washington, DC; he was in charge of the United States' civil defense and often traveled across the country in this capacity.
In 1943, Grant was promoted to major general.
Post service career
After the war, Grant retired from the army. He again served on the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. He was vice president of The George Washington University from 1946 to 1951. In addition, he also served as president of the American Planning and Civic Association from 1947 to 1949. He was also on the National Council of Historic Sites and a trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Grant was chairman of the Civil War Centennial Commission from 1957 to 1961. He resigned from the commission due to the illness of his wife and also because of the controversies that developed in planning commemorative events for the centennial of the American Civil War.
The centennial celebration began at Grant's Tomb with a twenty-one gun salute and was attended by cadets from West Point. A major controversy developed when ceremonies were to be held at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. A member of the Centennial Commission, who happened to be a black woman, was denied a room at a Charleston, South Carolina hotel. The NAACP protested this vigorously and called for protests and boycotts of any centennial celebrations. It accused the Centennial Commission of being pro-South and not forcing the hotel to allow blacks in, especially on official business. General Grant made the statement that the Centennial Commission was not responsible for state laws. The controversy brought in President John F. Kennedy who stated that he would not accept any discrimination in centennial celebrations.
In 1961, Grant received an honorary LL.D. degree from Hamilton College.
After the death of his wife, Gen. Grant remained at his home on the outskirts of Clinton, New York near Hamilton College.
He died August 29, 1968 in Clinton, New York and is buried at the Hamilton College Cemetery near his father-in-law.
His cousin was Ulysses S. Grant IV, the son of Ulysses S. Grant, Jr.

"Exceptions to the regulations are often made in regard to Buddhism," says Mr. Yang. "You can buy Buddhist scriptures at public bookstores, but the Christian Bible is not allowed to be sold. Of course, if you ask for it in sincerity, some bookstore manager might find a copy for you under a hidden cabinet."
Still, other religions are gaining followers as well. Yoga is attracting more practitioners, ironically because of its image as a fashionable Western trend. And Protestant Christianity is the fastest growing religion in China, according to Yang, who notes an increase of young converts in recent years. Academics estimate that there are 50 to 80 million Protestants in China. Often, Chinese will move back and forth between religions, according to their needs.
"The Chinese have traditionally been religious opportunists," said Gene Cooper, a professor in anthropology at the University of Southern California. "But if you've had success getting your prayers answered at the Daoist Temple, then that's the one you go back to."
Because of the leeway given to Buddhism, its revival has been more evident. This April, for example, the Buddhist Association of China, the official supervisory organ, will launch the first World Buddhist Forum to "find out how Buddhists can take action to make a peaceful world," says Yuan Ci.
"Unlike Christianity and Falun Gong, which authorities view as 'alien' and intrusive, the government has adopted a fairly loose reaction to the reemergence of local 'popular' religion, which is experiencing a renaissance," says Professor Cooper.
To reach his followers, Ming ignores the rules on home teaching. On Sundays, his students pack a Beijing apartment, sitting cross-legged on the floor to listen to lectures on Zen philosophy. "In Buddhism, there is destiny," says Fang Fang of how she became one of Ming Zhuang's students. "One day in 2004, I realized that I must find a teacher in Buddhism. So I prayed for it. Last year, I met my teacher."

Chefs have a way of making things indulgent in the best possible way. Take this recipe by Jose Garces of Amada restaurant in Philadelphia, for example: Two of everyone's favorite flavors—crab and guac—combine for a terrific appetizer.
Game plan: To roast the garlic and jalapeño, coat them in vegetable or canola oil and place in a 500°F oven until the garlic is golden brown and the jalapeño skin is blistered and blackened. If you don't have time for this, don't worry; the roasted garlic and jalapeño add a nice complexity to the dish, but the guacamole will be delicious regardless.
Special equipment: A molcajete is a Mexican mortar and pestle. If you don't have one, you can substitute a standard mortar and pestle or a bowl and a large fork or spoon.
This recipe was featured as part of our Suckling Pig for the Holidays menu, as well as our Chile Pepper Recipes and Bar Snacks photo galleries.
- 1Halve avocados, remove pits and skins, and coarsely chop. Place in a molcajete or bowl and add roasted garlic. Mash until only small chunks remain. Add roasted jalapeño, crabmeat, onion, tomato, 4 tablespoons of the cilantro, lime juice, and salt and stir until just combined.
- 2Place endive leaves on a serving plate and dollop each with guacamole.
- 3Combine remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and olive oil in a small bowl, season with salt, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Drizzle oil on top of each endive leaf and garnish with a garlic chip, if using.

Over the weekend, a friend asked me about lighting for a backyard wedding. Then I stumbled upon the intriguing photograph of an Indian wedding procession below:
Photo by Kevin Frayer is courtesy the Associated Press and Boston.com
So how do you create a romantic atmosphere at an outdoor evening wedding?
String Lights are a great choice since they are made to be hung outdoors and don't require a maze of extension cords to cover a large area. You can leave them up at the end of the event for backyard barbeques, etc.
As another option, crystal is a classic go-to for romantic lighting.
Our crystal swag chandeliers are under $130 and easy to install.
How would you decorate a wedding? Leave a comment and let us know!
Susanna is a former copywriter with LampsPlus.com. Working within the online world, she has created and syndicated content to support a range of brands. She has an almost unnatural interest in lighting design and is excited to combine her experience with her curiosity. She constantly looks for new innovations within the lighting field in materials and technology while struggling to find a solution for her high-ceilinged living room.

Great movie with a great animation
Fav Ghibli Movie
One of the best Studio Ghibli movies in my opinion. Watched it when I was a kid and it's what really got me into Ghibli. Great characters and gray type enemies.
Miyazaki has done it again! Powerful animation, excellent characters, and extraordinary plot! However, I wish that the disc didn't have as many scratches, because the movie kept pausing and skipping.
This movie draws you in
Amazing Movie!!
So interesting, I love how this movie involves nature!!
Beautiful and very environmentally friendly.
My favorite Miyazaki movie
Excellent movie! The plot is developed really well, the acting is nice and the soundtrack (Hisaishi) is REALLY good :)
It explores some fascinating and relevant ground, but it moves slowly and you need to be familiar with legends. Beautiful, but not my cup of tea.
Princess Mononoke
This movie was good but kinda violent.
Great movie - highly recommended!
good movie
this is a very good movie
Princess Mononoke
An excellent story on how nature and humans collide. This breathtaking movie will have your heart pounding. The charactors are deep, story plot dramatic and there's even a hint of romance! An excellent movie to watch.
A rousing film exploring humanity's often tenuous relationship with nature and how greed can blind us to the point of disaster. But at the same time, the ability to redeem oneself is stressed here, as it is in many of Miyazaki's films. One the wonderful things about the films produced by his studio is that there is no such thing as a purely good or evil character. Everyone has faults, some bigger than others, but ultimately, their motives are based in good intentions if looked at from their point of view.

Building on this interest, and the potential that new technologies offered, Helikon-Tex® quickly turned what had begun as a project into a fully-functioning independent brand with a dedicated team of design and production professionals. Leveraging the over 30 years of experience of Helikon-Tex®, over the next few months the Direct Action® team established a new R&D, built a strong professional team of designers, prototype makers and production specialists to create a range of products for the Direct Action® brand.
All of the gear they designed, after initial in-house testing, was then fielded to special operations units for end-user trials and evaluations. Their input and suggestions were critical and were incorporated into the final designs at a speed never seen before in the Polish defense industry.
Footwear typically doesn't change too much these days so it was a treat to checkout something truly different with the Blauer Clash series. The main stand out is certainly the BOA lacing system used which uses a steel cable and rotating cinch concept instead of laces you tie. Originally the BOA system was for snowboard boots and has since been applied to all kinds of boots and other footwear…. read more here.
Our friends at PracTacSys are professionals from diverse areas of the tactical and firearms industries, including those from the manufacturing side and those who are active operationally on a daily basis. Together, their aim is to personally use, abuse, trial and evaluate over time and then report as objectively as possible on their findings and impressions.
They recently reported on their findings after stomping and yomping around in a pair of AKU's Pilgrim High Leg Boots. These boots are available in Black, Forest / MTP Brown and Desert Biege. Check out the full report on PracTacSys.
I'm personally happy to be sharing this news because I'm a long-time fan of their clothing and gear, but since relocating to the US its been harder to get hold of for me.

Grainger-U.S. government settle overcharge claims for $70 million
- Tweet

- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - W.W. Grainger has agreed to pay $70 million to resolve assertions that the hardware distributor overcharged federal government agencies, the U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday.
The Fortune 500 company had contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA) and the U.S. Postal Service. The Justice Department said that Grainger's GSA contract required disclosure of commercial pricing policies but an audit showed that it had failed to provide accurate information.
The Justice Department said Grainger, based in Lake Forest, Illinois, also had failed to meet obligations to provide the Postal Service with "most-favored customer" prices.
In a statement, the company, which has a market capitalization of about $13.8 billion, said the agreement settled its "long-standing contract dispute with the federal government", which involved contracts implemented more than 10 years ago.
Grainger had disclosed a $70 million reserve for the settlement in October.
