It has been shown by earlier studies on the formation of the Los Angeles smog aerosol, that a significant fraction of the particulate matter in the visible size range is made by secondary gas-particle conversion processes, and that it consists mainly of liquid matter. In this study the volatility was studied quantitatively by heating the smog aerosol up to 250°C and simultaneously measuring the scattering coefficient using a nephelometer and the change of size distribution by an optical counter. The thermal analyses revealed that 50–80% of the submicron aerosol mass is volatile at 220°C. Inspection of the shapes of thermo-nephelograms (bscat vs temperature) also revealed that photochemically formed aerosols have distinctly different thermo-nephelograms than those obtained on humid "hazy" days. Thus it is suggested that thermal analyses may at least in some instances provide the means of on-line monitoring the origin of the ambient aerosol.

New research published today by the Department for Work and Pensions explores possible explanations for the relatively high levels of worklessness among tenants in social housing. A separate, forthcoming, report will present the detailed research findings.
The report highlights that the number of children living in severe poverty has risen over the period 2004/05–2007/08, from 11 to 13% of all children (estimating that in 2009 the number of children living in severe poverty remained at 1.7 million). This briefing outlines the key findings of the report and sets out why the UK government needs to refocus its efforts on the poorest children in the UK.
Study exploring social problems and changing perceptions of them in Britain since 1904. The periods covered include Edwardian Britain (1901-1910), the First World War and after (1914-1930s), planning and post-war reconstruction (late 1930s-early 1960s), the later twentieth century (1960s-90s) and the twenty-first century.
In a contribution to the JRF's 'social evils' series, Jose Harris examines social problems and changing perceptions of them since 1904. Social evils, such as hunger and destitution, were seen by the Victorians as unavoidable. Joseph Rowntree's more positive philosophy promoted social research and intervention to transform 'social evils' into less malign 'social problems' that could be cured. However, some of these problems have subsequently reappeared.
Report of a study which sought to identify the most deprived areas in England, Scotland and Wales and examine the impact of spatial disadvantage on educational outcomes for 16-18 year olds. It also looked at the comparative change in deprivation and educational outcomes over time.
Report investigating the extent of the social and economic costs associated with the issue of socially excluded young people in the UK and concluding that interventions helping young people get into employment, education or training can considerably reduce the costs of social exclusion.
Report drawing upon a range of statistical and other sources to construct a detailed picture of the incapacity benefit population in Glasgow and compare this with the west of Scotland and Scotland as a whole. The purpose was to produce a body of evidence which would assist in the task of improving the health and wellbeing of this population.
The government here welcomes the Houghton report, accepts its main recommendation that helping people to find and stay in work should be a local government priority, and describes the support put in place, strengthened integration and greater devolution, a challenge to local partnerships and support for the third sector and social enterprise. An annex summarises government response to Houghton and DWP's devolution offer.
Report of a qualitative study which aimed to deepen understanding of drinking behaviours and different drinking cultures in Scotland and make a contribution towards the further development of a Scottish strategy to reduce alcohol-related harm.
Paper offering a critique of the New Deal scheme for the unemployed in the UK. It argues that the policy can be made more effective if the structure of the welfare-to-work system is changed to more closely reflect economic realities. It recommends aligning the institutions of the welfare-to-work system with the needs of employers and the disadvantaged which should have the effect of providing better jobs for the low-skilled and better workers for the private sector.

Featured Content
Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
Winter offers a variety of recreational opportunities at Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, winter camping, and over-ice travel to the islands or to the mainland sea caves are all popular activities.
Access to the islands is challenging during the winter months, but in most years, there will be a period when ice conditions allow some travel. Inner islands such as Basswood, Hermit, and Oak are excellent destinations at these times. Venturing out onto the ice of Lake Superior requires special attention to safety. The dynamic ice of this inland sea can change overnight, so visitors must use extreme caution, and observe the maxim, "When in doubt, don't go out."
The most popular winter destination is the sea caves along the mainland shore near the Lakeshore's western boundary. A one-mile hike on lake ice will bring the visitor to a formation of dozens of caves, each filled with an uncountable profusion of delicate icicles. The effect is magical.
For up-to-date information on ice conditions, call the Apostle Islands Ice Line.
When ice conditions forbid access to the islands or sea caves, it's time to explore the recreational opportunities of the surrounding area. The Chequamegon National Forest provides an extensive network of cross-country ski trails at Valhalla, between Washburn and Cornucopia. Many of the local communities maintain snowmobile and ski trails, as well. Information on these facilities can be obtained from the appropriate Chambers of Commerce.

The same goes for me dude. So many great tunes. It is unfair to pick only one. I will only mention this. When they supported Nevermore in Greece they played "When I Die". After the track I was in complete state of wanting to die...

How I hate this question
Can't give a proper answer as well as there are definitely too many songs worth to be on the list (actually I also couldn't give an answer to the question which my favourite album is..) I can only point out that "Border of reality" is the most important song for me personally because that was the song that got me into AD. NP: Evergrey - The encounter |

Cross of Hatred, because that was the song that converted me into being a really big supporter of the band despite having owned Bleed before ETD came out...and one of the most powerful songs in recent memory!
"There is a concern that the Internet could be used to commit crimes and that advanced encryption could disguise such activity. However, we do not provide the government with phone jacks outside our homes for unlimited wiretaps. Why, then, should we grant government the Orwellian capability to listen at will and in real time to our communications across the Web?"" -- JOHN ASHCROFT, as a U.S. senator, from his Aug. 12, 1997 op-ed piece in the Washington Times, "Welcoming Big Brother." |

Hey all,
This is a tough question (so many good songs to choose from), but I'll go with "Cross Of Hatred" and "Bleed". Awesome tunes. -Mark

Such a difficult question...
There are too many good ones to pick just 1. My favorite is usually one of these 5: When I Die, Where the Wind Blows, Surrender, Fly Away, Cross of Hatred. Today I am inclined to say When I Die, but it depends on my mood, so tomorrow it might be any of the other 4.
Some honorable mentions would be: Behind the Mirror, Bleed, Sanity, Come Into Resistance, Same Eyes. |

Best of the Web
I love a good story. The unfolding drama, the anticipation for what comes next, the experience of learning something new and discovery — these are the elements of story that keep me coming back for more. Stories are how humanity has learned from itself. They are culture and experience distilled down and focused. Through the story, the creator, the viewer and the subjects share an experience. It is through these transcendent experiences that we relate to one another, where we gain a better idea of who we are and who we are not. As subjects in a story experience and process life, we the viewers vicariously can learn the same lessons, gaining insight on the human experience and ourselves.
This week we celebrate narrative with stories that run the spectrum of human experience.
The Avant Garde Diaries tell the strange and delightful story of Mark Landis, America's most prolific master forger.
In For Amusement Only: the life and death of the American arcade
The Verge chronicles the life and death of the coin-operated arcade.
Filmmaker Joshua Z Weinstein tells the Sisyphean story of a boxer who beat Mike Tyson and fights to hold on.
Tim Jennings tells the story of the making of American-born terrorist David Coleman Headley, who played a major role in the 2008 Mumbai, India, terrorist attacks that killed 166 people.

One of the big pieces of news from MESSE was not actually at the show. The night before it all kicked off, Propellerheads had a press event at a rather stylish hotel in the centre of Frankfurt, where they unveiled Figure - the iOS application with Reason synth engines, and the new Reason Rack Extension plug-in format. This is opened up to devleopers and they say its as easy it can be to port over existing plugs and instruments (though it helps if they have a rack-like GUI).
To test this theory, we caught up with Magnus Lidstrom from SonicCharge (they make the excellent Synplant instrument) who converted his BitSpeak plug-in to the new format in time for the demo.
Reason Rack Extensions are coming in Reason 6.5 (Summer we think).
Fantastic nick many thanks for the video.thers a whole new sense of a brand new dawning over on the propeller heads user forum.Hope you can do some more interviews with other rack extensions developers in the coming weeks or invite them on to your show.

UFC 144: The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly
(This punch-face that Bendo gave Frankie Edgar? Good *and* ugly.)
By Mark Dorsey
Inspired by the 1966 Spaghetti Western film about three gunmen who set out to find a hidden fortune during the American Civil War, this post-event wrap-up is dedicated to the moments that may have slipped through the cracks or deserve a little bit more analysis. Before we bid adieu to the resounding success that was UFC 144, join us for a look back at the event with a solid, squinty-eyed gaze that would make a macho legend like Clint Eastwood proud.
The Good
• The Japanese crowd. As expected, the Japanese crowd was politely engaged in the fights throughout the entire event. There were long periods of respectful silence during most of the action, prompting Joe Rogan to urge Mike Goldberg to take off his headphones in order to soak in the eerie quiet in the arena. Rogan is a stand-up comic who doesn't often get the opportunity to crack jokes during the fights but it was funny when he said that event was akin to watching "a cagefight in a church." Despite the reverent atmosphere, the crowd also had its moments of vocal fervor, erupting into chants of Hioki's name and random "UFC" chants, while also scolding Ryan Bader with boos when he tried to tie-up Rampage from the bottom. The Japanese fans showed a lot of support to non-native fighters such as Vaughan Lee after his impressive armbar victory over Kid Yamamoto, and Tim Boetsch after his shocking comeback win over Yushin Okami. The vibe in Japan was markedly different from the UFC's amazing shows in Toronto and Rio, but anytime there's an event when the fans become one of the main talking points, it speaks to their passion.
• Referees. Referees usually only get the spotlight if they make a mistake or controversial decision, but sometimes they should get mentioned simply because they did a solid job. That was certainly the case at UFC 144 which saw some great stoppages. Particularly noteworthy was Herb Dean's reaction time, jumping in to stop Mark Hunt and Issei Tamura from inflicting more damage after their devastating knockouts of Cheick Kongo and Zhang Tiequan, respectively. In a similar vein, during the Lauzon/Pettis fight, referee Marc Goddard was right on top of the action, quickly stepping in to prevent follow-up damage after Lauzon was KO'd.

1920s French-Style Oscars Party
by Aida — Share
Today was très amusant! I woke up to throw together a 1920s French-themed party and share it with my friends on Access Hollywood Live. Seeing as I've been working with Moet & Chandon a French-ified party seemed parfait. So, I donned my best 1920s makeup, decorated with a mix of modern metallics and vintage glasses, and assembled an assortment of finger foods with classic French flavors.
Here's a few tips I passed on, a menu inspired by classic French foods, and a few behind-the-scenes snapshots of the food I prepared.

Salmon, Crème Fraîche, and Fennel Rillettes
by Aida — Share
Midnight in Paris is the next movie that I'm paying homage to as part of my week of Oscars-themed recipes. Since the film flips and flops between modern-day and 1920s Paris, I decided to make a contemporary twist on a classic French recipe.
All you have to do is read two lines of any Lost Generation novel and the romanticism surrounding that era is infectious. It's hard to deny the quiet elegance of that era — as France recovered from World War 1 and American writers walked the streets looking to escape and find inspiration. That is a lot to translate into finger food, but I immediately thought of the classic French appetizer, rillettes. Similar to a pâté, rillettes are traditionally made by slow cooking pork in its own fat and then mixing it for a seriously decadent spread.
I wanted to give it a more modern, quicker, and slightly healthier twist so I came up with these Smoked Salmon, Crème Fraîche, and Fennel Rillettes. They're made by breaking up smoked salmon and folding it together with a double dose of anise flavor from the fennel and the herbs and a dollop of creme fraiche for a touch of decadence. This spread has a smoky, sweet, anise flavor and is as delicious on a cracker as it is between bread for a quick sandwich. And, of course, since this is another recipe I developed for Moët & Chandon, it tastes even better when paired with some chilled champagne.

If ever there was a time to celebrate the bright lights of fame and Hollywood, it would be now, during the awards season that kicks off each January and culminates with the Oscars. This year I've been working with Moët & Chandon to help Hollywood celebrate the awards season with some entertaining recipes and ideas. In that spirit, I've developed some finger foods and cocktails to help celebrate the 2012 Academy Awards home so you can host your own Oscars Viewing Party.
Spiced Citrus Pickled Shrimp
by Aida — Share
Super Bowl is but a few days away and there are recipes galore out there for everything from overloaded nachos to kajillion-layer dips. But around these parts we're sticking to the healthier eating habits of last month and are lightening things up for game day too.
My latest finger food obsession hails from the South but dispels all the Southern food stereotypes because it's really light and quite healthy. Pickled shrimp are a classic in the Carolinas but, seeing as I've never been around those parts, I hadn't heard of them until recently. Seeing as I have more than a mild obsessions for all things pickled and fermented, I had to try this the minute I came across it. After a few rounds of pickling and some tweaks (inspired largely by an overzealous citrus tree), I came up with this really easy but ridiculously flavorful recipe.

Poke, My Way
by Aida — Share
For the last recipe of my Hawaiian coverage, I wanted to share with you my California-fied twist on a classic Hawaiian recipe.
Poke (pronounced poh-kay) is one of those classic Hawaiian dishes I can't get enough of and I eat my share when I'm on island. If you haven't had it before, it's like a Hawaiian-style ceviche where, at the most basic, sushi-grade seafood is mixed with classic Hawaiian flavors of soy sauce and onions. From there, the options are limitless and you'll find all sorts of poke flavors made with everything from octopus to squid, all over the state.
The problem is that a lot of poke is seriously high in sodium and just does't have a balance of freshness and flavor that I like. I've spent a fair amount of time, money, and meals comparing and contrasting poke throughout the state and finally realized I should be making it myself and have become a self-proclaimed poke master. (Bold words I know seeing as I'm not born-and-bred in Hawaii.)
Speaking of which, my favorite way of serving poke has been super untraditional as a sort of Mexican tostada with Hawaiian flavors. Anytime I spend more than a few weeks away from California, I start craving Mexican food, so, to get the best of both worlds, I decided to make my own poke and throw it atop a crunchy tostada base.

Pretty. Easy. Spiced Boiled Peanuts
by Aida — Share
It's pretty much impossible to spend any real time in Hawaii without coming across boiled peanuts. Along with poke, boiled peanuts are a classic happy hour pupu (appetizer) and I can never seem to get enough of them. When I'm on Oahu, I stop by Tamura's where there's an awesome selection of booze, poke, and boiled peanuts. But I started getting annoyed that I was spending money on boiled peanuts since they require nothing more than a few ingredients and a few hours.

Night Market Five-Spice Chicken
by Aida — Share
Though I've never been to Taiwan, there's one thing I know for sure: I'm a huge fan of night market-style fried chicken. It's one of a variety of xiaochi (aka "finger foods) found in Taiwanese night markets and is more or less popcorn chicken seasoned with garlic, soy, and a good amount of Chinese Five-Spice powder. I first tried it on last month's Six Taste Taiwanese Food Tour and it has quickly become a staple in my house, earning the nickname, A.F.C. (aka Asian Fried Chicken).

Spring fever
Rodarama car show invades Transcona this weekend
This weekend, the Manitoba Street Rod Association's 13th annual Rodarama Car Show will pack the East End Arena in Transcona with a great variety of antique, custom and special-interest vehicles.
Rodarama is sponsored by autobody and paint supply company Rondex Limited, and is widely regarded as the province's most traditional indoor car show and offers both casual fans and all-out auto buffs a unique opportunity to view more than 100 locally owned special-interest vehicles.
You can expect to see a wide variety of Manitoba metal on display ranging from street rods, muscle cars, custom trucks and even a few late-model cruisers.
In addition to the fantastic variety of vehicles, Rodarama also features a wide assortment of vendors who cater to the automotive hobby.
This year's Rodarama also kicks off the Manitoba Street Rod Association's 40th anniversary. The club was founded in 1972 by a group of fun-loving folks with a passion for cool old cars. A street rod is essentially any vehicle manufactured prior to 1949 that has been altered, either to improve drivability or looks, or in many cases both.
My father, Dave, was one of the club's early members. Many of my fondest childhood memories involve folks from the MSRA and of course, their amazing vehicles. The club hosted the Canadian Street Rod Nationals way back in 1974 and in 1977, I vividly remember participating in an event billed as the "World's Longest Rod Run." Street rodders from all across Canada met at the old Ramada Inn on Pembina Highway and rolled out together en route to the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in St. Paul, Minn.
It seemed like thousands of cars to my youthful eyes, but there were easily more than 100 old cars in that cavalcade of chrome, including my father's 1939 Ford Coupe. Our car was cramped, with camping gear and my front-seat-hogging big brother, Allen, but I lucked out and hitched a ride with a cool 20-something dude named Darwin who drove a slick '33 Ford. As a 10-year-old, this is quite likely where my lifelong love of old cars was cemented.
Like today, back then the MSRA members were a close-knit group with a focus on family fun.
Rodarama allows kids 12 and under into the show free when accompanied by an adult, and the Take a Kid to a Car Show promotion is back again this year. By simply clipping the coupon from this article, future auto enthusiasts between the ages of 13 and 16 receive free entry when accompanied by an adult.
Whether you're a hard-core auto enthusiast or simply want to check out some amazing cars and spend a few hours with some nice folks, the 13th annual Manitoba Street Rod Association Rondex Rodarama promises to be an awesome show, and as an added bonus it supports the Children's Rehabilitation Foundation.
Rondex Rodarama Car Show
Hours: Friday: 6 p.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday: 10 a.m.-10 p.m.; Sunday: 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Where: East End Arena, 517 Pandora Ave. East
Admission: $9; children 12 and under free when accompanied by an adult. Teens 13 to 16 free when accompanied by an adult when they present the Take a Kid to a Car Show coupon.
Chicken Fest
Why did the Chickenmobile cross the road?
Because Kris Vincent, director of operations with Chicken Delight of Canada, has been busy delivering lunches to local businesses in the iconic Chickenmobile to raise both funds and awareness in support of the upcoming Chicken Fest.
On Tuesday, May 1, 2012 an evening of fun and entertainment at Canad Inns Polo Park is planned. By simply purchasing tickets for $15 each you will be treated to live entertainment, appearances from local celebrities and a silent auction. You will also receive your choice of either a three-piece chicken dinner or a chicken ceaser salad and a soft drink. You can also order meals for takeout. The fun runs from 4-9 p.m.
Over the past 60 years, the Rotary Club of Winnipeg West has donated more than $1 million to local and international charities and groups. This year, the club is supporting the Children's Rehabilitation Foundation.
For more information and tickets to Chicken Fest, contact any Winnipeg West Rotarian or call (204) 897-3690

text: Home Culture What the World Owes Congo As human suffering and corporate plundering mount, Congo deserves more than a few dutiful news stories a year. By: Kambale Musavuli Posted: Oct. 20 2008 12:00 AM 0 Last summer, the national news media announced the deaths of four gorillas killed in a national park in eastern Congo. A United Nations delegation was quickly dispatched to investigate. As a Congolese living in the United States and hungry for news back home, I was thankful for the coverage. But since my grandparents still live in East Congo, I would have also liked to have heard about some other recent breaking news items: women being raped, children being enslaved, men being killed, and many more horrors. I would like to hear about the nearly 6 million lives lost, half of them children under age 5 —that every month, 45,000 people continue to die in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); that the scale of devastation in Darfur happens in the Congo every 5½ months. I was granted asylum in 1998. Every day since then, I have appreciated the privilege of living in a peaceful community and pursuing a college degree at North Carolina A&T State University. But I will never forget that my people are not free—or the responsibility that comes with the privilege of living in the most powerful country in the world. Oct. 19-25 is "Break the Silence" Congo Week, a global initiative led by students to raise awareness and provide support to the people of Congo. There will be participants in more than 30 countries and on 125 college campuses, including key student leaders at North Carolina A&T, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Greensboro, the University of Maryland, Howard University, Bowie State University, Bryn Mawr College and Cornell University. Students will show films, hold teach-ins, host fundraisers, organize forums, participate in a cell phone boycott on Wednesday and undertake many more activities to raise awareness about the dire situation in Congo. Communities are also organizing interfaith prayer vigils to ask for peace in the DRC. Part of the challenge is educating people about the history of Congo, which has struggled to overcome its Belgian colonial past, and the present scramble for its rich natural resources by multinational corporations. Joseph Conrad's 1902 novel, Heart of Darkness, covered the period in the country's history when King Leopold II owned Congo as his own private property. The widespread misreading of Conrad's novel cemented an incomplete picture of the continent as a dark, uncivilized place. In reality, the source of the conflict in Congo for most of its history has been the scramble for its enormous wealth—not the internecine, ethnic bloodletting more commonly blamed. In the late 1990s, Congo was invaded twice by Rwanda and Uganda with the backing and support of the United States, as documented in the 2001 congressional hearings held by Reps. Cynthia McKinney and Tom Tancredo. It was these invasions that unleashed the tremendous suffering that exists in Congo today. But it is not just history that needs to be reexamined. From copper, tin and cobalt to coltan (a mineral found in cell phones, video games and other gadgets we have come to rely on), American corporations stand to make millions at the expense of the people of Congo. Dan Rather's recent report on Phoenix-based FreePort McMoRan's odious contract in acquiring what many say is the world's richest copper deposit is but a window into the systemic exploitation of Congo's wealth. There are strong advocacy relationships that can be built on. Even before 1974, when Congo (then known as Zaire) gained international attention hosting the Rumble in the Jungle, the historic boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, African-Americans in particular have a long history of championing the cause of Congo. In 1909, William H. Sheppard, the first African American to serve as a Presbyterian missionary to Congo, gave a frank account of atrocities he witnessed during King Leopold's barbaric reign. During the same period, the African-American historian George Washington Williams did the same. Today there is a new imperative for the global community, and African Americans in particular, to bring light to the story of Congo. "Break the Silence" week is an apt place to start. In 1961, Congo's first freely elected prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, said: "We are not alone. Africa, Asia, and free and liberated people from every corner of the world will always be found at the side of the Congolese." We must not be left to stand alone now. Kambale Musavuli is a Congolese activist and member of Friends of the Congo. He is pursuing a civil engineering degree at North Carolina A&T State University.

The Pulse of Radio reports: MÖTLEY CRÜE kicks off its new North American arena tour on Monday night (February 2) in San Diego as the band continues to promote its 2008 album "Saints Of Los Angeles". The bill also includes HINDER, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, and band search contest winners THE LAST VEGAS. This is the CRÜE's first North American trek since last summer's Crüe Fest and bassist Nikki Sixx told The Pulse of Radio how it will be different. "You know, we're gonna change some songs around, it's exciting to go out and play new songs, break out some songs we haven't played in a while," he said. "Brand new band, THE LAST VEGAS, we're really pumped about THE LAST VEGAS. We think that they're sort of a JET meets GUNS N' ROSES and that's like a really needed shot in the arm in the music industry right now. And HINDER, we're really excited about that, and THEORY OF A DEADMAN, so it's a great package."
The tour is slated to wind down in Portland, Maine, on March 18 and hit cities that Crüe Fest missed. THE LAST VEGAS won a contest co-sponsored by MÖTLEY CRÜE and Guitar Center. In addition to their slot on the tour, the group also won a recording deal with Eleven Seven Music, $25,000 in cash, and $20,000 in gear. Another edition of Crüe Fest is in the works for this summer, with plans for a second stage and more acts. Other groups on the bill besides MÖTLEY CRÜE are yet to be unveiled.MÖTLEY CRÜE Kicks Off New Tour

Elaine McKeon 1926 – 2012
When former Saint Mary's President Brother Mel Anderson first met Elaine McKeon, who passed away earlier this year at age 86, she was the shy, retiring wife of George McKeon, a construction company executive and major College donor. After she lost her husband, who died at age 51, Elaine transformed her life and became one of the most remarkable people Brother Mel has ever known. Elaine McKeon served on Saint Mary's Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1990 and was chair of the board from 1983 to 1985. In 1996 she was chosen to help chart the College's future as a New Century Committee member.
Brother Mel sang the praises of Elaine's distinguished service as chair of the Saint Mary's Board of Trustees. "She was always upbeat, but firm, and knew how to get things done," he said. "She didn't rush to make judgments, but was very thoughtful about what she did." She cared deeply about everyone and on one occasion hosted a surprise party at her Hillsborough home for Brother Mel's 25th anniversary as SMC president. On another, she invited the entire basketball team to celebrate their success at a sport of which she and George, the owner of the Sacramento Kings, were very fond. Although neither of them attended Saint Mary's — George's older brother did, but he was killed in Europe in World War II — the McKeons became some of the school's most generous donors, funding many projects, including McKeon Pavilion.
Elaine's other passion, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, consumed nearly three decades of her life. She served as board president from 1989 to 1995 and chair of the board from 1995 to 2004, guiding the institution during a major move and expansion. The museum closed early one afternoon in January so her friends and family could honor a woman who touched the lives of everyone she met.

Anarchy in the CT
- So I had a very short workweek because the power to my company in Connecticut was only restored on Wednesday afternoon. But my commute
work was somewhat hampered by the fact that the traffic lights at every intersection were out. People in the Nutmeg State are getting
really upset
at the slow pace of power restoration, going on a solid week now.

Looking back on my life I wonder why I did some of the things I did. I thought I was a good person, yet I did some bad things. At the time, it didn't seem so wrong, but now by Gods grace, I can see. John Newton must have been in a simular place in his life when he wrote Amazing Grace. Being blinded by sin and living a self righteous life we're blinded. Then Gods Amazing Grace knocks us over the head like a baseball bat and then we see. Who we aren't and who He is!
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me,"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest in me. NIV

Veii was the most powerful of the Etruscan city states. It was taken over by the Roman Republic after a 9 year siege from 405 to 396 B.C. under the great Roman leader Marcus Furius Camillus. The Etruscans and the Romans would continue to fight in various conflicts for many more years.
Despite being located ~20km northwest of Rome, its ruins were not re-discovered until the 1840s[1].

Released: Sep 17th, 2007
Running Time: 62 Min.
Director: Jonalungus
Company: Hush Hush Entertainment
Sophie Dee, SinDee Jennings, Will Powers, Devon Lee, Marcus London, Brad Hardy, Alex Gonz, Mandrew Lytro
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Six guys, four girls, an apparently suburban house, and no worry of cleaning up afterwards makes this free-for-all one big orgy. To qualify the previous cleaning comment when they pop, guys and girls, it goes all over.
The only real complaint would be the brief duration of this release. Otherwise playing with gals like Sophie Dee, Devon Lee, and others is a win-win for everyone.
Retailing: Fun orgy, good performers. Bound to be a hit in suburbia.

Washington, With a growing middle class, a large English-speaking populace, a booming number of multiplexes and a cinema-obsessed popular culture, India is a natural destination for Hollywood studios, say US and Indian business leaders.
Pointing to the worldwide success of "Slumdog Millionaire" and the release of latest James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace," in India a full week before its American opening, they suggest a fostering of Hollywood-Bollywood connections.
"The United States and India possess the world's largest entertainment and media industries, both in terms of sheer output and global popularity. Yet traditionally neither industry had much interaction with the other or enjoyed success in the other's domestic market," they noted in a new report released Wednesday.
"However, two signal events, both occurring in recent months, point the way to how important synergies can be exploited for producing new content, forging new creative collaborations and accessing new markets," the experts said referring to the two films.
Specifically, a task force set up by the Pacific Council on International Policy and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) recommended:
– The United States and India should craft a common approach on cultural market access and use their strategic positions to advance it in global trade negotiations.
– Both countries should devise a joint plan for advancing the digital transformation of the global media industry.
– Both governments should provide adequate funding for efforts to develop advanced fiber-optic networks that enable real-time creative and production partnerships between the two countries.
– Create short-term exchange programmes between US and Indian production companies and film schools designed to foster genuine creative interactions.
– Washington should encourage the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to help the Indian film industry create a counterpart institution.
– The United States and India should eliminate tax and regulatory barriers that continue to impede bi-national production partnerships.

Maybe your idea of a restful vacation is gliding along the high seas on an ocean cruise, or sitting calmly in a tour bus while someone else does the driving. If so, "sight jogging" may not be for you. But if you've got a finely honed sense of adventure, and you run regularly back home, why not take your first pass through a new city in jogging shoes and shorts? You'll be surprised how much you can see in a day, and how good you'll feel about any sweet reward you allow yourself at the end of the road. If you pass by something you like at 10 miles per hour, you can always return for a second visit.
Reporter Nancy Greenlease is our guide to this new, and growing, form of tourism.
Dirty Dancing

For most of the 20th Century, the Catskill Mountains were a popular vacation destination for Jewish North-easterners. Every summer, working-class families took the train from New York City or loaded up their cars and headed to bungalow colonies and hotels.
The Borscht Belt was a vibrant cultural center portrayed in movies like Sweet Lorraine, A Walk on the Moon, and of course..Dirty Dancing. Producer Binnie Klein visited one of the last remaining resorts from what now may be a bygone era...
The last American veteran of the First World War has died. Frank Woodruff Buckles died last week at his home in Charles Town, West Virginia, at the age of 110. He was one of nearly five million Americans to enlist when the U.S. entered the European war in 1917. For many years, World War One was just a footnote in the long life of Frank Buckles, until he found himself the last man standing. Will Everett interviewed him for a documentary in 2006 and brings us this report.

Reaching the 200-episode milestone is cause for casting off the workaday formula of this high-rating police procedural and indulging in a bit of alternative reality, which gives licence for the return of some familiar faces from the series' nine-year run. Based on the premise of Gibbs (Mark Harmon) staring down a bullet when a coffee stop goes wrong, it's given added dramatic oomph by the will he-won't he question of whether he survives to see episode 201.

Tuesday Wednesday Symposium
Re: Tuesday Wednesday Symposium
All right it is finally December and I'm ready to get this NCAA BB train rolling. Going to start keeping track from here on out:
Clemson +2 ML +115
Houston +3 ML +125
Duke +2.5 ML +115
I bought back my Ohio State +8 pick. I do not like the line movement here and some trends that are not looking good for the Buckeyes on the road.
I'll have my NBA stuff later!!
Re: Tuesday Wednesday Symposium
I usually hit the spread at a full unit and then take the ML at half a unit. I know sometimes you can loose 1.5 units on the same game if neither cover, but over time my moneyline plays will make up for a loss with positive juice.
Looks like Ohio St. +8 is the play of the day for the forum.

They are 1-19 ATS when being a dog of more then 8 points!! OUCH!!
I don't think this will matter without Jack McClinton. He just got ejected for taking a swing at a Buckeye! Good thing, he already had 15 points as the Bucks are down by 12. At least it's manageable. I see the Buckeyes getting back in this one.

For "The Things They Carried," list the things the men carried as they moved through the Vietnamese country side.
2 Answers | Add Yours
The things the soldiers carry are far too many to list here. It might work better to categorize the things the men carry. For instance, the men carry personal items from home (letters and pictures), items of personal necessity (toot brushes, pocket knives, Kool Aid, and desserts), items belonging to soldiers (machine guns, boots, helmets, flack jackets), items based on rank and expertise (Henry Dobbins was a large man so he carried a larger weapon and Rat Kiley was the medic so he carried morphine), items that varied based on their missions (machetes and bug juice), items based on superstition (a Bible, a sling shot, dope).
In addition to these, O'Brien observes they also carry themselves, ghosts, the land itself, emotional baggage, and - the heaviest burdens of all - the memories of the fear they experienced and the things they did.

'Prolonged exposure to pesticides can cause serious illnesses'
Farmers don't cover their nose and mouth while spraying pesticide
Teams mandated at mandal and village levels to create awareness
ADILABAD: Farmer Y. Madhusudan Reddy of Boath died on September 3, his death being the first this season that is ascribed to inhalation of poisonous vapour during a session of spraying of pesticide in his agriculture field. The fact that the death has come at the Bt cotton boom time has surprised agriculture experts including officials and necessitated some action on this front.
"Reduced use of pesticide sprays due to Bt cotton cultivation had almost put an end to the factor of accidental inhalation of poisonous vapour.
However, in the wake of this incident, we will undertake awareness drives at local levels," said Joint Director of Agriculture C. Sayanna, when he learnt about the death.
No precaution
Many farmers indulge in spraying insecticides in the field without taking even basic precautions like covering their nose and mouth with a scarf and avoiding spraying against the wind.
Any prolonged exposure under such conditions can result in serious illnesses and in worse conditions, death.
Though there are no recorded deaths attributed to poison inhalation, there are numerous incidents when farmers were treated for critical conditions that developed after they returned from spraying their fields.
"Before the arrival of Bt cotton, we used to get many complaints about poisoning due to inhalation of pesticide vapours. We have mandated our teams at mandal and village levels to cause awareness among farmers about wearing proper protection like that scarf and gloves in their hands.
You see, if a person handles even a beedi without properly sanitising his hands after a spray session is liable to develop acute poisoning symptoms," added Mr. Sayanna.
The normal practice for farmers is to consume alcohol soon after returning from the fields.
"The giddiness and uneasiness caused due to exposure to the poisonous vapours goes away after a few drinks," explained farmer Sanjeev Reddy of Pusai, about the effects.

The basketball got a 1.5 overnight rating. http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2012...lege-football/ "Indiana/Butler Overnight Up 50%: CBS drew a 1.5 overnight rating for the Indiana/Butler college basketball game Saturday afternoon, up 50% from both Butler/Purdue last year (1.0) and regional action in 2010 (1.0). The 1.5 is easily the top college basketball overnight of the season on CBS, topping a 0.9 for Arkansas/Michigan last week and a 1.1 for Baylor/Kentucky two weeks ago."

GB needs to continue putting on fighters who are willing to mix it up with a twist of technical ability as well.

"How good was Stan Musial? He was good enough to take your breath away." - Vin Scully
Greatly admired and respected by everyone in and around baseball, Stan Musial was one of the most popular players to ever don a major league uniform. Since big league ball wasn't played any further west than the city of St. Louis until the Dodgers and Giants moved to California in 1958, Musial was a hero to virtually every young boy who lived beyond the banks of the Mississippi River during the 1940s and 1950s. The Cardinal outfielder's warm, unpretentious, and easy-going manner also made him a favorite of teammates and opponents alike. Musial's popularity was further enhanced by the greatness he displayed on the ballfield – a greatness that enabled him to win seven batting championships and three National League Most Valuable Player Awards during his 22-year career with the Cardinals.
Stan Musial Video Biography
Stanislaw Franciszek Musial was born in Donora, Pennsylvania on November 21, 1920, the fifth of six children to Polish immigrants. After having his name formally changed to "Stanley Frank" when he enrolled in school, Musial began playing semi-professional ball at the age of 15 while still attending Donora High School. Stan spent his early years in the game mostly as a pitcher, although he occasionally played the outfield as well. He signed an amateur free-agent contract with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1938, and was used exclusively as a pitcher his first two years in the minors, before splitting his time between the mound and the outfield in his third season. Any aspirations Musial had of eventually becoming a big-league pitcher came to an abrupt end during the latter stages of the 1940 campaign when he injured his left shoulder while making a diving catch in the outfield. After subsequently being convinced by his manager to pursue a career as an outfielder, Musial peppered International League pitching throughout much of the following year, before finally being called up by the Cardinals on September 17, 1941.
Musial provided a brief glimpse into his ability to hit a baseball over the final two weeks of the 1941 campaign, posting a .426 batting average in his 47 official at-bats and hitting his first home run in the major leagues. He became the Cardinals' starting leftfielder the following year, batting .315 and scoring 87 runs in his first full season, to help St. Louis capture the world championship. The young outfielder developed into a star in 1943, leading the league in seven different offensive categories, including batting average (.357), hits (220), triples (20), and doubles (48), en route to leading the Cardinals to their second straight National League pennant. Although St. Louis subsequently lost the World Series to the Yankees in five games, Musial was named N.L. MVP.
Musial had another outstanding year in 1944, driving in 94 runs, finishing second in the league with 112 runs scored and a .347 batting average, and topping the circuit with 51 doubles, 197 hits, a .440 on-base percentage, and a .549 slugging percentage. The Cardinals captured their third pennant and second world championship in his first three seasons with the team, and Musial ended up finishing fourth in the league MVP voting.
Musial entered the United States Navy in January, 1945 and missed the entire 1945 campaign. However, he returned to the Cardinals the following year and picked up right where he had left off. Splitting his time between first base and left field, Musial established new career highs in virtually every offensive category. In addition to hitting 16 home runs and driving in 103 runs, he led the league with 124 runs scored, 228 hits, 20 triples, 50 doubles, a .365 batting average, and a .587 slugging percentage. The Cardinals won the National League pennant again, then went on to defeat Ted Williams and the Boston Red Sox in a classic seven-game World Series that was highlighted by Enos Slaughter's "mad dash" around the bases in the decisive seventh game. Musial was named league MVP for the second time at season's end.
Musial spent the entire 1947 campaign at first base and had a solid year, hitting 19 home runs, driving in 95 runs, and scoring 113 others. But concurrent bouts with appendicitis and tonsilitis caused his batting average to fall more than 50 points, to .312. After having both his appendix and his tonsils removed during the offseason, Stan The Man returned to left field in 1948 to have the greatest season of his career. Musial had always been an outstanding line-drive hitter his first several seasons, accumulating huge sums of doubles and triples, while also collecting his fair share of home runs. However, the lefthanded-hitting Musial became more of a power hitter in 1948, using his unique batting stance, in which he faced the opposing pitcher with his front shoulder while crouching down low, to turn on the ball and pull it into the right field stands with greater frequency. Musial ended up leading the league in nine different offensive categories, falling just one home run short of capturing the triple crown. In addition to finishing second in the senior circuit with 39 homers, Stan The Man led the league with 131 runs batted in, 135 runs scored, 230 hits, 18 triples, 46 doubles, a .376 batting average, a .450 on-base percentage, a .702 slugging percentage, and 429 total bases. By striking out only 34 times, Musial accomplished the rare feat of compiling more home runs than strikeouts. He subsequently became the first National League player to be named league MVP three times.
A true student of hitting, Musial described one of the techniques he used to become the National League's dominant hitter of his time: "I consciously memorized the speed at which every pitcher in the league threw his fastball, curve, and slider; then, I'd pick up the speed of the ball in the first 30 feet of its flight and knew how it would move once it had crossed the plate."
Yet, Musial presented a far less scientific approach to hitting when he said, "You wait for a strike, then you knock the shit out of it."
National League pitchers feared Musial more than any other hitter in the senior circuit. Hall of Fame hurler Warren Spahn suggested, "Once Musial timed your fastball, your infielders were in jeopardy."
Dodger pitcher Preacher Roe discussed the technique he employed whenever he faced Musial: "I throw him four wide ones, then try to pick him off first base."
In spite of the difficulties Musial presented to opposing pitchers whenever he stepped into the batter's box, they had a difficult time developing a personal dislike for him. Friendly, affable, good-natured, considerate, and modest, Musial was loved by everyone in the game, especially his teammates, who he often entertained on road excursions by playing his harmonica. Musial had an endearing quality to his personality that few could resist, and he remained extremely humble through the years in spite of the excellence he displayed on the ballfield.
Ty Cobb wrote an article for Life magazine that came out just before the start of the 1952 campaign in which he essentially stated that the modern ballplayer couldn't compare to the men who played the game during his time. However, he singled out Musial as an exception, proclaiming that he believed the St. Louis outfielder to be "...a better player than Joe DiMaggio was in his prime." Displaying the humility for which he was so well noted, Musial responded to the article by saying, "Cobb is baseball's greatest. I don't want to contradict him, but I can't say that I was ever as good as Joe DiMaggio."
After winning the National League pennant in Musial's first four full seasons, the Cardinals never again finished atop the league standings while Stan The Man was a member of the team. Nevertheless, Musial continued to excel for another decade as he went on to establish himself as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. He had another fabulous season in 1949, placing among the league leaders with 36 home runs, 123 runs batted in, 128 runs scored, and a .338 batting average, and topping the circuit in hits, triples, doubles, on-base percentage, and total bases. Musial then captured the next three league batting titles, posting averages of .346, .355, and .336 in 1950, 1951, and 1952, respectively.
Although Musial compiled batting averages of .337 and .330 in 1953 and 1954, he failed to win the batting championship either year. Yet, he made baseball history on May 2, 1954 when he became the first major league player to hit five home runs in a doubleheader. Musial ended the campaign with 35 homers, 126 runs batted in, and a league-leading 120 runs scored. In fact, although Musial was not generally thought of as being a pure home run hitter, he averaged 31 long balls per season from 1948 to 1957.
After being named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 1957 for hitting 29 home runs, driving in 102 runs, and batting a league-leading .351 at age 36, Musial began to show a decline in offensive productivity the following year. Although Stan The Man batted .337 in 1958, he hit only 17 homers and knocked in just 62 runs. Musial's batting average fell below .300 for the first time in his career the following year, and, when he failed to reach that mark in either of the next two seasons as well, speculation began that the Cardinal great's playing days were nearing an end. Musial, though, put an end to such talk when he rebounded in 1962 to finish third in the league with a .330 batting average, while also hitting 19 home runs and driving in 82 runs. He played one more year before finally calling it quits at the conclusion of the 1963 campaign, at age 43.
Stan Musial ended his career with 475 home runs, 1,951 runs batted in, 1,949 runs scored, a lifetime batting average of .331, a .417 on-base percentage, 3,630 hits, 177 triples, and 725 doubles. At the time of his retirement, he either held or tied for 17 major league records, 29 National League records, and nine All-Star Game records. Included among Musial's major league marks were most extra-base hits (1,377) and most total bases (6,134). He also led all National League players in hits, doubles, runs batted in, and games played. An amazingly consistent performer, Musial compiled 1,815 hits at home over the course of his career, while also accumulating 1,815 hits on the road.
In addition to winning seven batting titles, Musial led the National League in doubles eight times, hits, on-base percentage, slugging average and total bases six times each, runs scored and triples five times each, and runs batted in twice. He batted over .300 in each of his first 16 full seasons, topping the .340-mark on seven separate occasions. Musial also surpassed 30 homers and 200 hits six times each, 100 RBIs 10 times, 100 runs scored 11 times, 40 doubles nine times, and 10 triples on eight separate occasions. He struck out a total of only 696 times in almost 11,000 career at-bats. A solid outfielder as well, Musial compiled a total of 31 assists in 1943 and 1944, before splitting his time between left field and first base for much of the remainder of his career. In addition to being named N.L. MVP on three separate occasions, Musial finished second in the balloting four other times. He appeared in the All-Star Game in 20 of his 21 full seasons.
Longtime Dodger announcer Vin Scully once said, "How good was Stan Musial? He was good enough to take your breath away."
Immediately following Musial's retirement, he was named director of the National Council on Physical Fitness by President Lyndon Johnson. He later briefly served as St. Louis's general manager, a position he held during the Cardinals' 1967 world championship season. Musial was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1969.
In discussing Musial's on ESPN's SportsCentury, Bob Costas noted, "He didn't hit a homer in his last at-bat; he hit a single. He didn't hit in 56 straight games. He married his high school sweetheart and stayed married to her – never married a Marilyn Monroe. He didn't play with the sheer joy and style that goes alongside Willie Mays' name. None of those easy things are there to associate with Stan Musial. All Musial represents is more than two decades of sustained excellence and complete decency as a human being."
