Bush Daughter Jenna Hager Will Report for NBC's 'Today' Show
August 31, 2009 - 5:35 AMThe daughter of former President George W. Bush will contribute stories to NBC's "Today" show about once a month on issues such as education, said Executive Producer Jim Bell.
The daughter of former President George W. Bush will contribute stories about once a month on issues like education to television's top-rated morning news show, said Jim Bell, its executive producer.
Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in Baltimore, said she has always wanted to be a teacher and a writer, and has already authored two books. But she was intrigued by the idea of getting into television when Bell contacted her.
"It wasn't something I'd always dreamed to do," she said. "But I think one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change."
She'll essentially work two part-time jobs as a correspondent and in her school, where she will be a reading coordinator this year.
Bell said he got the idea after seeing Hager in two "Today" appearances. She was on the program two years ago to promote her book about an HIV-infected single mother, "Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope," and it went so well that a short interview was stretched to nearly a half hour. She and her mother, Laura Bush, also co-hosted an hour of "Today" around the time their picture book came out.
She "just sort of popped to us as a natural presence, comfortable" on the air, Bell said. Hager will work out of NBC's Washington bureau.
"I think she can handle it," he said. "I think she knows something about pressure and being under some scrutiny. When she came here for a handful of appearances, she knocked it out of the park."
He expects her first story, most likely concerning education, to be on sometime next month.
A first television job on "Today" is, in her father's world, sort of like a run for president as a first attempt at elective office. Hager said that people on the show "have always made me, whenever I've been there, feel very comfortable."
Bell said Hager won't be covering politics. He said he didn't consider the job as a down payment for a future interview with her father, who has been living quietly in Texas since leaving office earlier this year. Attacks on NBC News by conservatives for the liberal bent of MSNBC also had nothing to do with it, he said.
"I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do the best job on them -- education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy," said Hager.
Married to Henry Hager in May 2008 at her family's ranch in Texas, she doesn't plan to do is talk about her experiences as the daughter of a president.
"I don't think it's that interesting," she said. "I'm pretty normal."

Steven Gerrard believes referees are victimising Luis Suarez after the Uruguayan was denied a penalty during Liverpool's defeat to Manchester United on Sunday, the Daily Mirror has reported.
Gerrard added that the officials are, in his opinion, pre-judging a decision involving Suarez because of his reputation for going to ground easily. The Liverpool captain went on to say that the penalty United were awarded, when Antonio Valencia went to ground under pressure from Glen Johnson, would not have been given if it was Suarez who was brought down.
Robin van Persie converted the spot kick to give United the lead at Anfield, with the visitors holding on for the win to deny Brendan Rodgers his first victory at home as Liverpool manager. Gerrard had earlier put Liverpool in front despite the home side being down to 10 men following the first-half dismissal of Jonjo Shelvey, but Rafael equalised soon after.
Gerrard said: "I think even when Luis gets blatant penalties now, he's never going to get them. It's down to referees to not judge him. They have got to make their decisions based on what they see.
"I almost guarantee that if you flipped the situation, if Luis was in the position of Valencia, he wouldn't get a penalty. We all know that. Reputations go in front of people at times and because Valencia is not someone who is known as a diver, he gets the decision."

cool! great tutorial, but... do you know if its possible to add the safari zone script (the one where you get 500-600 steps, 30 safari balls, and the choices of "ball" "bait" "rock" and "run" instead of "fight" "pkmn" "item" "run" in the battle screen)? It would be cool if gold hacks had a fully working safari zone, like the ones in r/b/y/r/s/e/fr/lg/d/p/p!

Yeah, Mateo's right. That would end up a very complicated tutorial, far beyond the small amount of knowledge I have on hacking. Someone might make a tutorial for that later on.
What I did was edit a few lines of text to make a "Safari Zone is free now" sort of subplot. At some point I'll probably just post an IPS patch of that.

Special Correspondent
Writers given award for works in language other than mother tongue
Only works in languages included in VIII Schedule eligible
MYSORE: The Bhasha-Bharati Samman award for 2004-05 was given away to 15 writers of various languages from throughout the country here on Friday.
Instituted by the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), the awards are given to encourage people of every region in India to learn the languages of other regions and help promote social cohesion and national integration. The awards are meant for original writing and translation works of authors of books written by them in any Indian language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution other than their respective mother tongues, Hindi, Sanskrit and English. The winners of the Bhasha Bharati Samman awards for 2004-05 for original writings include Usharanjan Bhattacharya whose mother tongue is Bengali and who won the award for her work Rabindranath Aru Asam written in Assamese language; Karabi Debbarman (mother tongue: Kokbarak) who wrote Srijane Utsabe in Bengali; Ranganath Tiwari (Marwadi) who is the author of Begum Samru written in Marathi; Hamsa Danagopal (Marathi) for Nalladhor Veenai Seithe in Tamil; Afsar (Urdu) for Valasa in Telugu and Pritpal Singh Betab (Punjabi) for Mauj-E-Reik (Urdu.)
Cultural bridge
The CIIL took note of the authors' contributions and in the context of Usharanjan Bhattacharya's work in Assamese pointed out that Rabindranath Aru Asam is a commendable work that constructed a solid cultural bridge between Assam and West Bengal. It deals with diverse subjects such as the travels of Rabindranath Tagore throughout Assam, his creations during his stay there and so on. It added a new dimension to the relationship between the Assamese and Bengali-speaking people of Assam.
The awards carry a prize money of Rs. 25,000, a shawl and a memento.

When the engine is turned on the SRS light goes off but it comes back and stay on
1995 BMW 525i
BMW Q&AAsk Your Question
1995 BMW 525i Question: SRS light malfunction, it stays on.
Answer #1precision import from Precision Import Service, November 01, 2011, 07:23Technician
It can be a couple of different things causing the light to stay on. The most common is a sensor inside the seat belt buckle that will fail. The repair would be to replace the seat belt and the tensioner for the seat belt. The cost varies from model to model. Get the car checked by a shop with the right equipment to be able to diagnose the propblem 1st. This is just one of the most common problems we see. There are many other things it could also be. Downside to the light being on is that the air bag will not function with the SRS light on, so it becomes a safety issue as well.
Answer #2BMW525i34 October 29, 2014, 17:24Rookie
I have a black on black 5 speed 1995 525i that had this problem it turned out to be. When i put weight on the passenger seat books,bags etc the sensor in the seat makes this SRS stay on til you remove the weight from the seat or hook the safety belt(lol)then the SRS light goes off and stay off . Till you start the your BMW again . Just remember not to put weight on the passenger seat when starting your BMW.

How are the surveys conducted? Oil & Gas Journal editors receive questions every day from readers and researchers. The question that floods the editor's Outlook inbox and keeps the voicemail red-light indicator on is: How are the surveys conducted? Steps It all begins with communication. A comprehensive collection of contact information for each survey is updated regularly. The databases contain phone and fax numbers, e-mail and business addresses, dates of previous responses, and other company information. The survey forms and a letter describing the intensive industry study are typically e- mailed to the contacts about 4 months prior to the publication date. The letter also states the response deadline, which is about 2 months before the issue is published. Previous responses or the company's data in the latest survey are provided when requested. The forms and letter are sent by mail when the contact prefers or when an e-mail address is unavailable. This mailing includes a postage-paid business reply envelope. Contacts who have not submitted data receive a reminder with the survey forms about 3 weeks before the deadline. When the deadline arrives, this editor attempts a third round of reminders, phone calls mostly, to the major companies, contacts that planned on responding but forgot, and late responders. The aim of this aggressive follow-up effort is to keep from simply rolling a company's data over from the previous year's survey. Responses go into Excel spreadsheets. The presentation editors then format the tables and create electronic pages in .pdf format and make them available to online subscribers for downloadeding with an OGJ password. The OGJ Surveys in Excel The OGJ Online Research Center expands and enhance the spreadsheets to allow users to easily sort, search, and analyze the data Spreadsheets are available for purchase. Historical spreadsheets are also available. Click here to view the Surveys page. Frequent questions Other popular questions are: How do I access the surveys? Can you walk me through your web site to view the surveys? How do I purchase the surveys in Excel? What does the construction survey include? When will the survey be up? Readers can access the surveys at www.ogjonline.com. Go to the OGJ home page and scroll half way down to the middle and click on OGJ Subscriber Surveys. This link provides a list of the following surveys: OGJ 200/100, Worldwide Construction (semiannual), Worldwide Gas Processing, Worldwide Refining, Worldwide Production, Ethylene, Worldwide EOR (biennial), and Catalyst Compilation (biennial).

The twice-yearly Worldwide Construction Update surveys provide project information in the areas of refining, petrochemicals, gas processing, LNG, gas-to-liquids and other gas, sulfur, and pipelines. Details include the company and location, project type, added capacity, status (planning, engineering, under construction), expected completion date, and contractor and contract type. Also included is a project-notes column. This section provides additional information on the construction project and varies with the thoroughness of responses. It specifies whether a project is new or an expansion. It also mentions upgrades and revamps. Investors, project cost in US dollars, and other details are listed if available.
