Sendong victims to get new homes within the year—Binay
MANILA, Philippines—Survivors of Tropical Storm Sendong in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan cities will have new homes within the year, Vice President Jejomar Binay announced Saturday.
Binay said he has already tasked the National Housing Authority to immediately relocate and resettle the affected families and provide them with housing assistance.
The agency signed 10 agreements with public and private institutions, housing funders and contractor for the development of the sites and construction of the housing units, he added in a statement.
"President Aquino has instructed all concerned agencies to use all possible means to address the rehabilitation of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, and the signing of these 10 memoranda of agreement is government's concrete action to answer to our leader's call," Binay said during the MOA signing at the Coconut Palace.
Around 8,293 housing units will be constructed in 16 project locations in the two cities. Of this, 5,507 will be built in Cagayan de Oro and 2,786 in Iligan.
The vice president lauded the private and civic organizations that have volunteered to construct resettlement sites in the affected cities as he admitted that the government alone cannot finance the housing projects.
"I have always believed that we can achieve much through meaningful partnerships with different stakeholders," he said, adding that such cooperation shows the value of "bayanihan" among Filipinos.
"The CDO-Iligan rehabilitation will be a good testing ground for our ability to implement multi-sectoral partnerships. Our success in this venture will mean a lot in promoting this administration's inclusive approach at governance," he added.
In Cagayan de Oro, housing units will be constructed in Cagayan de Oro Relocation Site Housing Project Phase II, II-B and III; Indahag Relocation Site Phase I and II; LGU-BERJAYA-GK Village; Canitoan Relocation Site; Xavier Village; NASSA and SAC Caritas Village; Calaanan Relocation Site; and Paglaum Village.
In Iligan the housing units will be put up in Bayanihan sa Iligan Village, Kapuso Village, Diklaan Resettlement Site, and Diocese of Iligan Village I and 2.
Binay said the NHA entered into MOA with the Habitat for Humanity Philippines, Gawad Kalinga, SM Group of Companies, Banco de Oro Foundation Inc., Diocese of Iligan, Rotary-CDO, San Miguel Corporation, Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc., Xavier University, Berjaya Group of Companies, GMA Kapuso Foundation, Shell Philippines, Oro Humanity, Social Action Center- Archdiocese of CDO, Caritas, St. Francis Xavier Church, Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers and Philippine Red Cross.
Also involved are the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Public Works and Highways, and Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

The Ottawa Senators have yet to play with the lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Yes, it's been two games.
But consider the Senators are now trailing the best-of-seven series by a 2-0 count, following Friday's loss on the road.
It's a safe bet that grabbing the lead in Game 3 would go a long way in giving the Senators a chance at victory and, more importantly, a chance at getting back in the series against the heavily-favored Penguins.
Sidney Crosby's first of three goals Friday gave the Penguins an early lead.
For a second straight game in this series, Pittsburgh was able to grab a lead in the first four minutes of play.
"We're not ready to match it, obviously," Senators' coach Paul MacLean told NHL.com.
"Catch-up hockey is losing hockey, and we're behind 1-0 early in both games and now you're playing catch-up the whole way and it takes energy and leads to frustration. We just have to make sure we're ready from the start."

Wah!!! Spezza won't help you much when and if he returns. Like Karlsson, Spezza won't be 100%. Spezza won't be able to do some of the stuff he normally does considering he had major back surgery. If Ottawa loses Game 3 then this series is practically over for them…even if they win game 3 and lose game 4 it still won't bod well for them. LETS GO PENS!!!
- jonkchar - May 18, 2013 at 3:37 AM
I'm a Pens fan but I enjoy watching the Sens when I can. They're a good team, but it just looks like the Pens have the monkey off their back after advancing to the second round
- valoisjoeybfeld69 - May 18, 2013 at 9:13 AM
Pens talent have been taking advantage of Karlsson's poor play. Talented players usually hurt teams when they mke mistakes. Sens/Karlsson need to tighten their play to give themselves a chance to win.
- jpelle82 - May 18, 2013 at 3:37 PM
karlsson is just getting exposed on national television finally. he is not a good defensive defensemen, cant play the body, bad angles, bad gaps on guys. he benefits from a big man paired with him so he can swoop in and clean up a loose puck, he wont get it from a guy on his own.
- ironcity6pak - May 18, 2013 at 11:42 AM
You will now see that D bag Neil start picking fights and layer more dirty hits. This series is going to get ugly and pens fans know the pens can't keep their cool. And no ott fans, I'm not saying Cook is a saint.

Movie SummaryUn Coeur En Hiver
Description: Daniel Auteuil and Emmanuelle Béart from Manon of the Spring (1986) co-star once again in Un Coeur en Hiver, playing characters whose distance from each others' lives belies the enormous emotional impact they have on one another. Directed by Claude Sautet, whose 40-year career included the Oscar-winning César et Rosalie (1972), Un Coeur en Hiver is a remarkably restrained film with torrents of feeling just under the surface. Auteuil plays Stephane, partner in an exclusive violin brokerage. His older business partner Maxime (Andre Dussolier) has a lovely new violinist girlfriend, Camille (Béart), who stirs Stephane but is ultimately rejected by him, sending all three characters into a spin that destroys their delicate, symbiotic balance. Hovering over this story is an unusual musical motif that is key to the characters' inner motivations. Violins play, and play on camera, all through the film, but the nature of Stephane's craft, Camille's career, and Maxime's profits is that the music can always be refined, tinkered with, changed with a twist of this or a bit of that. That's precisely how they conduct their relationships and lives -- with a fragile sense of security and no idea when to stop manipulating life for effect.~ Tom Keogh, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Vivek Bhargava | February 3, 2012 | Comments |
Why the remuneration, team structure, capabilities, and business model of agencies will need to evolve.
These kinds of posts generally start with statistics on how Kindle outsold paperbacks, digital is bigger than TV, print, and outdoors in the U.K. I don't think whether digital is the future is now left to debate.
I am not predicting the end of outdoor, print, TV, or radio, just that the above mediums may also metamorphose where they will eventually also be delivered through digital. Example: in a radio show, the show host will give options of 20 songs through social media, the users vote, and the song that gets maximum votes from the listeners is automatically streamed to the listeners. It may still be radio from the consumer point of view, however the advertiser may receive the ability to have different ad jingles based on the car he drives.
In order to succeed in this digital world, the agencies will also need to evolve at every level. Let me elaborate a few and leave the rest of them for you to imagine and prepare.
Remuneration. The remuneration of agencies on the conventional side of the business has been under debate for decades, in digital the same has become much more complicated. In conventional media, the input can be monitored and controlled. For example, if the agency does not do the messaging right, it can be reworked until it is perfect, thus one needs to put a lot of emphasis on the negotiated price. In digital it is almost impossible to monitor or control input. Let's take an example of paid search, which is probably 60 percent-plus of all digital spend. An agency can charge 6 percent of spend and make more money from the client or charge 13 percent of spend and end up having a lesser margin. The advertiser finds it almost impossible to control the quality of technology, personnel deployed, and the number of man-hours invested in optimization. I am sure all of us have seen campaigns that were managed for a lower fee but ended up wasting four times as much of media cost due to inefficient optimization. The advertisers must realize, if the agency is honest and actually deploys the extra revenues into further optimization of the campaign, each 1 percent extra may lead to 3 percent savings in media cost. In most conventional mediums, the investments made in ad units, media buying, and other incidentals are less than 10 percent of paid media, while in digital the paid media to management ratio can be as much as 30 percent of paid media. I am not saying pay 30 percent to the agency, but provide budgets for content creation, analytics, multivariate testing, technologies, number of ad units, etc. This 30 percent investment would lead to the remaining 70 percent of the budget delivering more returns than 90 percent of paid media investments would have given you.
Figure 1 - Conventional Digital Agency
Figure 2 - Evolved Digital Agency
Figure 3 - Optimization Rewards
Team structure. In conventional mediums, the number of outputs is limited. Even the largest client would not have more than a few creative themes and a few tens of ad units in the year. The number of people at the top is the key; even a single award-winning national creative director has the capability to transform an agency. As the junior people in a conventional digital agency rarely deal with senior management of advertisers or have a final say into the creative unit that goes live, agencies were generally structured to be top heavy. As dynamic pricing, measurement, and contextual-based advertising gains prominence across all mediums, agencies would need to develop expertise at every level of the organization thus leading to flatter organizations.
Figure 4 - Changing Team Structure
Capabilities. Advertising has always been a balance of art and science; there is a strong possibility that the role of science in advertising may become dominant. As the world of advertising becomes digital, agencies will have to develop added expertise in technology, analytics, content creation, data mining, etc. in order to sustain their success. Malcolm Gladwell mentions a tennis coach who is able to predict a double fault just based on how a player would connect with the ball; he got it right 16 out of 17 times. Exceptional advertisers have this unique ability of taking a huge amount of data and forming communications, which may seem like intuition. This is the precisely the reason why the best human chess players are still able to beat computers. Having said that, only the best human players are able to beat computers; for the rest of us mortals data may start trumping intuition, thus it is important to start augmenting data mining and technology capabilities within our agencies.
Figure 5 - Optimization Rewards
Business model. As most mediums begin to be sold through an auction process, the dependence on volume discounts on media buys and treasury operations will need to reduce. As advertising becomes more measurable, agencies will need to link their performance to revenues their earnings as well as build consulting capabilities.
The next five years are going to be extremely exciting for the advertising industry. However, only for agencies that are able to adapt to this new reality faster.

DUI Convictions
No matter where you live, a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction is a very serious matter. Even first-time offenders are looking at time in jail and probation as well as a driver's license suspension.
DUI convictions are actually comprised of two parts: the administrative license suspension and the criminal court case. The administrative part of a DUI arrest is a civil proceeding and deals with your license and driving record. The criminal case deals with penalties, fines, and sentencing.
For an administrative license suspension, your driver's license may be taken away even before you are found guilty in the criminal case. Whether you take a breath test and fail or refuse to take the test, your license may be suspended. In some jurisdictions this happens on the spot. However, some states allow you a certain number of days (typically 5 to 10) during which you may request an administrative hearing.
As stated above, this administrative hearing is completely separate from your criminal case. If your arrest was based on probable cause, and you refused to take the test or failed it, your license will either be suspended or revoked.
It is important to note that in many states, you may be eligible for a limited driving permit if you meet certain criteria. For example, if this is your first offense, you may be allowed to drive to work, school, and/or alcohol treatment with a permit. However, many states will not allow this for people who refused to take the breath test.
Your criminal proceedings begin soon after your DUI arrest. You will be asked to appear at the arraignment, where you will enter a plea. After this comes the trial and sentencing (if convicted).
The sentence for DUI may include fines, jail time, probation, community service, and mandatory alcohol counseling or treatment. In certain circumstances, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.
While most DUI offenses are misdemeanors, if you have had prior drunk-driving convictions, caused bodily injury, or caused property damage, you may be charged with felony DUI. If you are convicted of DUI, you will be sentenced to prison rather than jail.
In addition to the criminal penalties, you face consequences in your personal life. Your DUI conviction will remain on your record, and may be a deterrent to future employers. You will also have to purchase high-risk auto insurance in able to drive.
If you have recently been charged with DUI, it is important to have an experienced DUI defense attorney on your side.

COLUMBUS — Several media outlets were reporting Monday night that Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller reinjured his throwing shoulder in practice earlier that day and could miss all or part of the season.
The story was first reported by Tim May of the Columbus Dispatch.
Miller, considered one of the leading candidates for the Heisman Trophy, had shoulder surgery in February to repair damage done in the Orange Bowl against Clemson.
Ohio State would not confirm the injury Monday.
Miller had experienced soreness in the shoulder since the Buckeyes began preseason practice last week and OSU had limited his throws.
Miller had insisted all summer that his shoulder was 100 percent recovered and that he would be at full strength for the opener against Navy on Aug. 30 in Baltimore.
J.T. Barrett, a redshirt freshman, moved into the No. 2 quarterback slot this week ahead of Cardale Jones, who had come out of spring practice as the No. 2 behind Miller.
Miller has been voted the Silver Football winner as the Most Valuable Player in the Big Ten the last two seasons.
He rushed for 1,068 yards and passed for 2,094 yards and 21 touchdowns last season.

Twitter Revokes Find Friends Access for Instagram ↦
LinksTwitter has apparently shut off pieces of its API access to Instagram, blocking Instagrammers from the Twitter section of "Find Friends" inside of the app. As TechCrunch notes, it's a worrisome situation given that Twitter's Jack Dorsey is an Instagram investor, and Benchmark Capital has both of the companies in its portfolio.
But the real story here, if I'm going to go out on a limb, has much more to do with Facebook's acquisition of Instagram only a few months ago. Facebook and Twitter simply don't play well together, as has been noted numerous times before. If Facebook continues its push toward consumer-friendly products (TV shows anyone?) it only makes sense to start culling the companies that could infringe upon its own versions.
Is Twitter starting to deliver its consistent experience?

Snitching for Dollars: The Economics and Public Policy of Federal Civil Bounty ProgramsMarsha J. FerzigerUniversity of Chicago Law School Daniel G. CurrellGustavus Adolphus College; Law School, The University of Chicago 1999 University of Illinois Law Review, Vol. 1999, p. 1141 Abstract: The federal government routinely pays individuals for tips that facilitate its regulatory and law enforcement efforts. However, in the aftermath of public reaction to Linda Tripp's role in bringing the Clinton-Lewinsky affair to light, combined with recent hostility toward IRS informant and collection practices, such bounty programs have fallen out of social and political favor. Indeed, the bounty programs federal agencies offer are vastly inconsistent and devoid of a clear understanding of the incentives facing potential informants. These political and technical shortcomings of bounty programs undermine their effectiveness. In this article, Ferziger and Currell examine four federal bounty schemes--the False Claims Act and the schemes created by the SEC, IRS, and U.S. Customs Service--constructing an economic model to aid agencies and legislators alike in the formulation of more efficient and effective bounty programs. The authors first articulate a framework through which existing programs can be analyzed, elucidating such factors as informant anonymity, bounty award amounts, administrative program costs, and program publicity. Upon this framework, the authors set forth their comprehensive model of the incentives and motives underlying agency-informant interaction throughout the bounty process. Taking into account a host of sociopolitical concerns, the authors then demonstrate the real-world applicability of the economic model they have fashioned.

Social science is at the centre of every major challenge the world faces, yet faces a tough future, according to a panel of senior academics and politicians speaking in London this week. They were taking part in a debate hosted by the British Academy and Sage to explore how social science research can strengthen its involvement in policymaking, increase its impact, and combat potential public expenditure cuts.
While the social science disciplines play a crucial role in contributing to a better quality of life, the tone of the discussion was markedly bleak, with large funding cuts looming, and an 'anti-research' mood within government.
Speaking on the panel Professor Ian Diamond commented that social science lies at the heart of understanding and tackling the complex challenges of society. His comments were supported by SAGE's Deputy Managing Director and Publishing Director, Ziyad Marar, who pointed to the government's cabinet office priorities, which identify globalization, ageing, family, crime, climate change, and wellbeing as key areas. "These are all profoundly social science problems," said Marar.
Professor Diamond also noted the fragility of the sector, due to a "grey and greying" membership, with the majority of active academics in several disciplines over the age of 55. His proposed solution for this was to support not just young career researchers, but to engage with the schools sector to make children want to become social scientists in the future.
A key message from all panellists was that role social science research can and does have direct relevance to policy making. Both Professor Harvey Goldstein and Sir Michael Rutter presented cases where studies on family and education have tested the validity of policies. A key issue was therefore how to ensure that the research outcomes were effectively communicated to policy makers.
Lord Richard Newby noted some of the issues facing social scientists, including the role of values in decision making, rather than evidence. He also cited the role of the public mood in influencing decisions. He viewed the current situation for social science as "pretty grim," with the recent controversies surrounding climate change data marking an 'anti-research' mood within government. The situation is also made worse by a current focus on physical science subjects, where the spotlight for funding has recently shifted.
While the future looks bleak, there was much support for the value of the social sciences, and discussion of ways social researchers can help to promote the value of their work. Professor Diamond promoted the need for strong formal training, which would in turn help to advance better methodologies and interdisciplinary collaboration; Professor Goldstein promoted the need for stronger statistical training to provide better evidence; and Lord Newby promoted the need to engage with the civil service more directly, as a route in to influencing ministers. Further comment from the audience included the increased alliances between social scientists and other sciences; and the need to engage with the audit commission to call government to account on their policy decisions.
Towards A Better Tomorrow? The Crucial Role of Social Science took place on March 16th 2010 at the Royal Society, London.

Staffa (Scottish Gaelic: Stafa,[4][5] pronounced [s̪t̪afa]) from the Old Norse for stave or pillar island, is an island of the Inner Hebrides in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The Vikings gave it this name as its columnar basalt reminded them of their houses, which were built from vertically placed tree-logs.[6]
Staffa lies about 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of the Isle of Mull. The area is 33 hectares (82 acres)[7] and the highest point is 42 metres (138 ft) above sea level.
The island came to prominence in the late 18th century after a visit by Sir Joseph Banks. He and his fellow-travellers extolled the natural beauty of the basalt columns in general and of the island's main sea cavern, which Banks renamed 'Fingal's Cave'. Their visit was followed by those of many other prominent personalities throughout the next two centuries, including Queen Victoria and Felix Mendelssohn. The latter's Hebrides Overture brought further fame to the island, which was by then uninhabited. It is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland.[8]
Geology and pre-history[edit]
In prehistoric times Staffa was covered by the ice sheets which spread from Scotland out into the Atlantic Ocean beyond the Outer Hebrides. After the last retreat of the ice around 20,000 years ago, sea levels were up to 125 metres (410 ft) lower than at present. Although the isostatic rise of land makes estimating post-glacial coastlines a complex task, around 14,000 years ago it is likely that Staffa was part of a larger island, just off the coast of mainland Scotland, which would have included what are now Mull, Iona and the Treshnish Isles.[9]
Steadily rising sea levels then further isolated this little island, which is entirely of volcanic origin. It consists of a basement of tuff, underneath colonnades of a black fine-grained Tertiary basalt, overlying which is a third layer of basaltic lava without a crystalline structure. By contrast, slow cooling of the second layer of basalt resulted in an extraordinary pattern of predominantly hexagonal columns which form the faces and walls of the principal caves.[2] The lava contracted towards each of a series of equally spaced centres as it cooled and solidified into prismatic columns, a process known as columnar jointing. The columns typically have three to eight sides, six being most common. The columns are also divided horizontally by cross joints.[10] These columnar jointed sections represent the tops and bottoms of individual lava flows. Between these sections lie regions of much more chaotic jointing, known as the entablature. The origin of the entablature is unknown, but could be due to flooding of the lava flow, causing much more rapid cooling, or the interaction of stress fields from the two regions of columnar jointing as they approach one another.[11]
Similar formations are found at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, on the island of Ulva and at Ardmeanach on the Isle of Mull.[8] Grooves in the roof of MacKinnon's cave indicate either a pyroclastic flow or a series of eroded ash falls in the rock above the columnar basalt.[12] The 'Staffa Group' is the name given to the series of olivine tholeiite basalts found in the vicinity of Mull which erupted 55–58 million years ago.[13]
Staffa lies about 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of Mull, and 9 km northeast of Iona. It is longitudinally oriented north-south, and is a kilometre long by about half a kilometre wide. The circumference is about 3.8 km in extent. In the northeast the isle shelves to a shore, but otherwise the coast is rugged and much indented; numerous caves have been carved out by rain, streams and sea. There is enough grass to feed a few cattle, and the island has a spring.
On the east coast are Goat Cave and Clamshell Cave. The latter is 10 m high, about 6 m wide at the entrance, and some 45 m long, and on one side of it the ridges of basalt stand out like the ribs of a ship. Near this cave is the pyramidal rock islet of Am Buachaille ('The Herdsman'), a pile of basalt columns seen fully only at low tide. Other outlying rocks include Eilean Dubh to the north-west and a series of skerries stretching for half a kilometre to the south-west. On the southwest shore are Boat Cave and Mackinnon's Cave (named after a 15th-century abbot of Iona), which has a tunnel connecting it to Cormorant Cave. These caves lie to the south-west and can be accessed from the bay of Port an Fhasgaidh at low tide. In 1945 a mine exploded near Boat Cave, causing damage to the cliff face which is still visible.[2] Mackinnon's Cave is 107 metres long.
Staffa's most famous feature is Fingal's Cave, a large sea cave located near the southern tip of the island some 20 m high and 75 m long formed in cliffs of hexagonal basalt columns. This cliff face is called the Colonnade or The Great Face and it was these cliffs and their caves that inspired Felix Mendelssohn's Die Hebriden (English: Hebrides Overture opus 26),[14] which was premiered in London in 1832.[15] The original Gaelic name for Fingal's Cave is An Uamh Bhin – "the melodious cave" – but it was subsequently renamed after the 3rd-century Irish warrior Fionn MacCool.[2][16][17] Mendelssohn was nonetheless inspired by the sound of the waves in the cave and waxed lyrical about his visit, claiming that he arrived in Scotland "with a rake for folk-songs, an ear for the lovely, fragrant countryside, and a heart for the bare legs of the natives."[18]
Staffa is part of the Loch Na Keal National Scenic Area, one of 40 in Scotland.[19]
18th century[edit]
Little is known of the early history of Staffa, although the Swiss town of Stäfa on Lake Zurich was named after the island by a monk from nearby Iona.[2] Part of the Ulva estate of the MacQuarries from an early date until 1777,[21] it was brought to the English-speaking world's attention after a visit by Sir Joseph Banks in August 1772. En route to Iceland in the company of the painter Johann Zoffany, the Bishop of Linköping, and a Dr. Solander, Banks (later a president of the Royal Society) was entertained by Maclean of Drummen, on the Isle of Mull. Hearing about Staffa he resolved to visit and set out from Tobermory the next day. The winds were light and they did not arrive until darkness had fallen.[22][23] Banks wrote:
It was too dark to see anything, so we carried our tent and baggage near the only house on the island, and began to cook our suppers, in order to be prepared for the earliest dawn, and to enjoy that which, from the conversation of the gentlemen we had, now raised the highest expectations of.[24]
They were not disappointed. Despite becoming infested with lice during his short stay on the island, he provided glowing reports of his visit.[2] He confessed that he was:
forced to acknowledge that this piece of architecture, formed by nature, far surpasses that of the Louvre, that of St. Peter at Rome, all that remains of Palmyra and Paestum, and all that the genius, the taste and the luxury of the Greeks were capable of inventing.[8][25]
Samuel Johnson and his protege James Boswell visited clan MacQuarrie on Ulva in 1773, the year after Banks' visit. Perhaps aware that Banks considered that the columnar basalt cliff formations on Ulva called "The Castles" rivalled Staffa's[26] Johnson wrote:
When the islanders were reproached with their ignorance or insensibility of the wonders of Staffa, they had not much to reply. They had indeed considered it little, because they had always seen it; and none but philosophers, nor they always, are struck with wonder otherwise than by novelty.[27]
Amongst the first[28] eminent overseas visitors to Staffa were Barthélemy Faujas de Saint-Fond, a wealthy French zoologist and mineralogist and the American architect and naturalist William Thornton. Visiting in 1784, they were suitably impressed, Faujus writing: "this superb monument of nature, which in regard to its form bears so strong a resemblance to a work of art, though art can certainly claim no share in it."[29]
19th and 20th centuries[edit]
Subsequently a stream of famous visitors came to view Staffa's wonders including Robert Adam, Sir Walter Scott (1810), John Keats (1818), J. M. W. Turner, whose 1830 visit yielded an oil painting exhibited in 1832, William Wordsworth (1833), Jules Verne (1839), Alice Liddell (the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland) in 1878, David Livingstone (1864), Robert Louis Stevenson (1870) and Mendelssohn himself in 1829.[8][30] Wordsworth, however, found the volume of tourism disappointing.
We saw, but surely in the motley crowd
- Not one of us has felt, the far-famed sight:
- How could we feel it? Each the others blight,
- Hurried and hurrying volatile and loud.
Writing more than a century later the writer W. H. Murray agreed, complaining that the visitors spoiled the "character and atmosphere", and rather stand-offishly suggesting that "to know Staffa one must go alone".[32]
Others were more enthusiastic, despite the presence of numerous others. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were rowed into the cave in the royal barge in 1847,[33][34] and The Times correspondent recorded:
As the Royal Squadron cleared out of the Sound of Mull, and round the northern extremity of the island, a noble prospect lay before it, the steep and barren headlands of Ardnamurchan stretching away into the Atlantic on the right, on the left the precipitous cliffs of the Mull coast, and far away and embosomed in the ocean, the fantastic and varied forms of the adjacent islands. The horizon toward the north was a good deal obscured by haze, but, notwithstanding, Skye was distinctly visible... The deserted and solitary aspect of the island was brought out with a strange and startling effect by the presence of so many steamers; and as Her Majesty's barge with the Royal Standard floated into the cave, the crew dipping their oars with the greatest precision, nothing could be more animated and grand than the appearance which the vast basaltic entrance, so solemn in its proportions, presented.[35]
Keats complained about the expense of the ferry, but was captivated by what he saw nonetheless. Displeased with his first efforts to describe this "cathedral of the sea" he finally settled on:
Not Aladdin magian/Ever such a work began, Not the wizard of the Dee, Ever such a dream could see; Not St John, in Patmos Isle, In the passion of his toil, When he saw the churches seven, Golden Aisl'd, built up in heaven, Gazed at such a rugged wonder.
--John Keats, Staffa[36][37] |
Tenants and owners[edit]
However inspiring the scenery, it was not an easy place in which to live. In 1772 there was only a single family, living on a diet of barley oats, flax and potatoes, and whatever their grazing animals could provide.[2] By the end of the 18th century they had deserted Staffa, apparently terrified by the severity of winter storms.[8] Signs of "rig and furrow" agriculture can still be seen on the island but the only surviving building is the ruin of a 19th-century shelter for travellers.[38] By 1800 the island was under the ownership of Colin MacDonald of Lochboisdale. In 1816 it was sold by his son Ranald MacDonald into the care of Trustees. In 1821 these Trustees sold to Alexander Forman as Trustee, the purchase money being paid by his brother John Forman WS. It remained in the Forman family until sold by Bernard Gilpin Vincent "Pat" Forman in 1968. There were several private owners after that, including Alastair de Watteville, a descendant of Colin MacDonald[2] who wrote a book about the island,[39] until finally it was gifted to the National Trust for Scotland by Jock Elliott Jr. of New York in 1986 to honour the 60th birthday of his wife, Eleanor. A grateful National Trust bestowed upon her the honorific "Steward of Staffa".[40] In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, Staffa was named as the 8th greatest natural wonder in Britain.[41]
During the 20th century there were issues of bogus postage stamps bearing Staffa's name.[42]
In 1800 there were three Red Deer on the island, later replaced by goats and then by a small herd of black cattle.[2] Subsequently the summer grazing was used for sheep by crofters from Iona, but in 1997 all livestock was removed. This has led to a regeneration of the island's vegetation.[38]
Puffin, Black-legged Kittiwakes, Common Shag and gulls nest on the island, and the surrounding waters provide a livelihood for numerous seabirds, Gray Seals, dolphins, Basking Sharks, Minke, and Pilot Whales.[38]
Visiting Staffa[edit]
Boat trips from Oban, Ulva Ferry on Mull, Fionnphort and Iona allow visitors to view caves and the puffins that nest on the island between May and September.[43]
There is a landing place used by the tourist boats just north of Am Buachaille, but disembarkation is only possible in calm conditions. The island lacks a genuine anchorage.[2]

LETTERS From Charlotte Corney, director, IW Zoo, Sandown:
IT was with great sadness that the team at the IW Zoo said goodbye to Snoopy, our African lion, on October 11, when he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of oral cancer.
It was, however, with great joy that we received such a show of condolence from Islanders clearly moved by the sensitive way in which the media delivered the news of Snoopy's sudden death.
This is what makes our community special: the sense of ownership, belonging and care. It was touching to realise just how many people held Snoopy (pictured) so close to their heart.
Local residences have no doubt been hearing the searching calls of Snoopy's brother, Charlie Brown, as he tries in vain to summon his litter-mate back to his territory.
This has, and continues to be, a tough time for the zoo team, who knew and loved Snoopy intimately, but I would just like to thank everyone who has shed and shared a thought, and even a tear, for our feline friend.
He was your lion and was proud to reign over his little patch of England, far from the plains of Africa where, one day, we hope lions will regain their right to thrive.

This is slashdot, home of that kind of behavior.
If you are interested in what nutritional ketosis is and want a quick way to do it right without buying $100 in books this is an excellent place to start.
If you see article X and then ask in the group about it, they will point you to article Y or citation Z. As always common sense is left up to the reader. Read both X and Y and make a decision for yourself.
I can tell you if I eat the typical "heart healthy" diet with plenty of grains, fruits and vegetables and avoid sweets...I am still pre-diabetic.
However if I eat a diet very low in carbohydrates, my blood sugar is fine. So I have 4 options
- Eat all the processed foods and sugar and want and end up diabetic.
- Eat what is considered a low fat, low cholesterol, heart healthy diet and end up diabetic.
- Eat a low carbohydrate diet of under 50grams of carbs a day to remain healthy and non-diabetic.
- Eat a very low carbohydrate diet under 25grams of carbs a day to remain healthy, non-diabetic and reap the benefits of nutritional ketosis
It really is not a religious issue. For me and my body, the only question I have to ask, "is it worth the extra effort to stay below 25grams of carbs a day to reap whatever benefits nutritional ketosis will give me or is standard low carb going to work better for me?"
For anyone interested, get a blood glucose meter and some testing strips and test your blood sugar levels, if you ever get above 120, the odds are a low carb diet will reap you some major health benefits. Also the words "keto" and "low carb" when used on pinterest will yield a butt load of delicious recipes that are low carb.

But findings don't mean it's safe for expectant moms to drink, study says
THURSDAY, Feb. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Zinc supplements may help mothers-to-be reduce the risk for birth defects linked to alcohol use early in pregnancy, Australian researchers report.
The study, conducted in mice, was published online and in the April print issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
"Alcohol's damage to the fetus depends not only on the amount and duration of alcohol exposure, but also on the timing of the exposure relative to the development of the cells and tissues involved," study co-author Peter Coyle, an associate professor at the Hanson Institute in Adelaide, said in a journal news release.
"Earlier work had shown that prenatal alcohol, as well as other toxins, can result in fetal zinc deficiency and (developmental malformations) by inducing the zinc-binding protein, metallothionein, in the mother's liver. Since then, our group has confirmed the importance of metallothionein in alcohol-mediated birth defects," he said.
In this study, Coyle and colleagues injected either saline or a 25 percent solution of alcohol into pregnant mice on their eighth day of gestation. In mice, the eighth day of gestation is equivalent to weeks three to eight during a human pregnancy. The mice were fed either a regular or zinc-supplemented diet from conception to day 18 of gestation, when some fetuses were assessed for birth defects. The growth of the surviving offspring was monitored for 60 days after birth.
"There were three key findings," Coyle said.
"One, fetal abnormalities caused by acute alcohol exposure in early pregnancy can be prevented by dietary zinc supplementation. Two, dietary zinc supplementation throughout pregnancy can protect against post-natal death caused by acute alcohol exposure in early pregnancy. Three, dietary zinc supplementation increases the mother'

Doody's Review Service
Reviewer: Jacqueline S. Jeruss, MD (Northwestern Memorial Hospital)Description: This book provides a relatively detailed review of the current thinking regarding basic breast cancer research and its therapeutic applications.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an overview of some of the most recent advances in the understanding of breast cancer genetics, pathogenesis, and therapeutics.
Audience: It is geared toward graduate students and scientists involved in breast cancer research, and physicians specializing in the care of breast cancer patients.
Features: Extensive information about a multitude of topics associated with breast cancer genetics and possible causative factors in breast cancer progression is provided. This book also includes both a generalized overview of breast cancer therapeutics as well as the most current thoughts on experimental treatment ideas. The chapter, "Hereditary Breast Cancer Genes," is extremely well covered, especially the discussion of BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 mutations in the Ashkenazi population. The chapter on psychological issues surrounding genetic testing is particularly strong because of its use of case examples. The discussion of surgical and chemotherapeutic approaches is thorough and cohesive, as is the chapter on drug resistance and the implications of the MDR gene.
Assessment: This book could have had less repetition, which is a direct result of its multiple contributors. Additionally, stronger introductory chapters would have provided better organization and flow of the book's content. On a whole, this is an excellent resource for researchers in the field. Texts such as Lynch's Genetics and Breast Cancer (Van Nostrand Reinhold,1980) and Lippman's Genes, Oncogenes, and Hormones: Advance in Cellular and Molecular Biology of Breast Cancer (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1992) are key to providing background on breast cancer genetics and basic science. This book stands out in that it provides a comprehensive approach to the relevant advances in breast cancer research as they apply to therapeutics, an approach that has been missing in the recent literature.

The Mexican Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, is a celebration in which the living honor the departed. Skulls are its characteristic imagery, most commonly in the form of folk art figurines such as the Novia (Bride), or made of sugar and brightly decorated. Masks Y Mas store and gallery is a truly one of a kind entity in the United States, importing Day of the Dead artwork, masks and figurines, and displaying them beside all sorts of locally-themed kitsch, including t-shirts and jewelery. It successfully combines cultural education, humor and a serious social commitment; the latter evident in the frequent exhibitions of work by incarcerated artists. - Pip LustgartenEarn valuable points toward free nights.

Welfare recepients and lottery tickets?
Quoting Mrs.Sells:PA is there to help provide the things you need like food, clothes and shelter not the things you want like booze, cigarettes and scratch offs.
I NEED BOOZE,and CATFOOD!!!!AND CAT LITTER!!!!those things aren't covered with food stamps!!I wish I could put my cats on my budget!!!!!!!LOL!!
While I personally think if you get assistance from the govt, you shouldn't be irresponsible and buy lottery tickets, how are they going to regulate it? Sorry, but sometimes the govt can't really regulate how stupid ppl can be. You just have to make your own decisions.
If a welfare recipient wins the lottery they should be banned permanently from collecting any government assistance like welfare and food stamps. I am not sure if they should be banned from buying lottery tickets though, but there should be a limnit on how many they can buy per welfare check. Tax payers are paying for it.
Just another way to control our households. There's more important things the gov't should be worried about. SMMFH!
Maybe it's just me, but telling someone they can't buy a scratch off ticket, because they receive government assistance, is stupid. Same goes for people saying, you shouldn't buy that on food stamps, because it is unhealthy. I'm sorry, but does anybody pay attention to prices of food? The unhealthy crap is what is cheaper. Meat, fish, vegetables, milk, and water are extremely expensive. And, when you get a month worth of assistance, that amounts to $360, to feed three kids/teenagers and yourself, your in a bind to have to buy the worst kind of crap to pump into your body. Not to mention if you have a job, while receiving benefits. Which you have, to put yourself a little ahead, those benefits((HUD, foodstamps, medicaid, and SSI)), get stripped away to nothing. But, yet the people in government, that make these regulations for everyone else get free health care to the best doctors and are able to be put on donors list at a drop of the hat, with out having to pay nothing and give theirselves raises, of what they see fit. Then we have ex-presidents that receive annual salaries of $400,000+, and free health care, for him and his family for the rest of his/there lives, because he happened to be president for 4 or 8 years? Yet, we b*tch and gripe about the poor and the lower middle class receiving government assistance of $50-$800, when our own government is on a wealthier paycheck of welfare that is in the hundred thousands? I think we as a country have our priorities f*cked up.

Mary Spanos just sent me this skein she spun from some of my fiber from Dubose in May. Mary couldn't make it to Dubose as she had planned this year, so Mary Kaiser took her my OOAK hank of "Blue Smoke" superwash bfl and this is what she spun from it. Gad zooks! Anybody want to wager a guess as to how many yards are in this skein? It's in line to become a lace stole at this point. Now I want to see the stole!
Mary is a Textile Anthropologist at the University of South Alabama, working primarily in Native American textiles. You can read more about her here. She has recreated some of the clothing worn by local tribes. And she's a consumate spinner with the most amazing skill and aesthetic.
This fiber was dyed in an immersion bath. Those of you who will be in my Harrisville Class two weeks from today, we'll be working with this particular technique on this exact fiber. I love it because there is no repeat pattern...color hits entirely at random. It can be so subtle, even subtler than this, or much wilder. It's all in the hand of the dyer.

Thanks for the lovely complement Lynne! The skein weighs about 3.6 ounces and is 880 yards long (it only looks longer). I started knitting the stole last night and I love this yarn. Your colors are beautiful and the fiber doesn't feel like superwash, it feels wooly.
- Lynne said...
You are so welcome, Mary. Every time I see you, you are working on something exquisite. Looks like you have plenty of yardage for the stole. I couldn't remember how much fiber was in that hank, but I thought it was around 4 ounces, maybe more. Please send a photo when you finish the stole.

Magic coach critical of playoff sked
Updated: April 22, 2010, 12:01 PM ET
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Stan Van Gundy has a request for the NBA: fewer days between games in the playoffs.
Never one to shy away from giving his opinion, the Orlando Magic coach said Wednesday before Game 2 against Charlotte that the league's first-round playoff format that spreads games out for prime-time television is difficult on teams.
"It's almost like you're on a high school schedule or a college schedule playing twice a week" in the first round, he said.
Don't get Van ...

Meet 22-year-old Cherry Pye (née Cheryl Bunterman), a pop star since she was fourteen-and about to attempt a comeback from her latest drug-and-alcohol disaster.
Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her "undercover stunt double," Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too "indisposed"-- meaning wasted -- to go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott.
Now the challenge for Cherry's handlers (über-stage mother; horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin publicists; weed whacker-wielding bodyguard) is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry's public -- and from Cherry herself. The situation is more complicated than they know. Ann has had a bewitching encounter with Skink, the unhinged former governor of Florida living wild in a mangrove swamp, and now he's heading for Miami to find her . . .
Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink track down Ann DeLusia before Cherry's motley posse does? All will be revealed in this hilarious spin on life in the celebrity fast lane.
Carl Hiaasen was born and raised in Florida. He is the author of eleven previous novels, including the best-selling Nature Girl, Skinny Dip, Sick Puppy, and Lucky You, and three best-selling children's books, Hoot, Flush, and Scat. His most recent work of nonfiction is The Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport. He also writes a weekly column for The Miami Herald.
Vacuous pop stars, a hygiene-challenged photographer and corrupt politicians all play a part in Carl Hiaasen's new satire of the industry that both makes and breaks celebrities. More at NPR.org

Dad and mom are heading up to New Braunfels today!! Life is good!!
I miss all of my tailgating buddies but I am sure y'all understand that family comes first! I am there in spirit and thinking of you guys!!!
Lots of love,
This is exactly what happened to my Dad last January. His dissection was at the Aorta above the heart. We are both fortunate that they received excellent medical attention at the hospital when they arrived (I assumed he went to the ER). My understanding is it is very difficult to diagnose and one usually has only 24 - 36 hours before it's fatal.
Regarding your health, my understanding is the best way to decrease your risk of this occuring is making sure your blood pressure stays in a safe zone. I don't think they understand all the factors that cause this to happen. But certainly, high blood pressure is the trigger for it.

Anchorages in Reedville VA?

Here's a qualified third for Sandy Point.
Very quiet and serene little anchorage.
My only qualification is on holding. We hooked there in 2008, no problems. Not so in 2010. We struggled to get the anchor to set (44lb CQR on all chain rode), and thought we were OK. A late evening storm (25 kts steady, with gusts to 45) came through, and we dragged badly. We ran out an additional 120' of chain, but the bugger still wouldn't bite. Had I not had a Danforth set up on the secondary rode, ready to deploy, we'd have wound up on the beach. Two other boats in the anchorage also dragged during the storm, so it wasn't just bad luck or bad technique on our part.
To recap -- yes, I'd go there again, but be prepared to react quickly if a storm blows in.
