Not tonight honey - I feel a headache coming on!
Friday - 3/15/2013, 2:00am EDT
Suppose your spouse or significant other announced that, starting early next month, he or she was going to be having a series of frequent headaches. As in the I'm-not-interested-darling or the even more severe touch-me-and-you-die-you-rat, variety!
And suppose the couple next door — same age, same income, same time together — was behaving like newlyweds?
Well, Uncle Sam has a headache. And different federal agencies are handling it differently. Very differently.
The headache was triggered by the White House-designed, congressionally-approved sequestration process. It calls for across-the-board cuts in most federal agencies and spending. Sequestration was designed to be a poison pill that would be so awful politicians would compromise on spending cuts and higher taxes. That didn't happen. Democrats say the GOP wouldn't play ball. Republicans say the Democrats moved the negotiating goal post. Whatever ...
Now we have sequestration. But there is nothing uniform about it. Except that most of the high-profile places — Defense, the FBI, Customs and Border Protection — have announced they will be hit hard and have to furlough front-line, crime and terrorist-fighting employees for lengthy periods. Defense says 22 days for 780,000 civilians. CBP is talking 14 days for 60,000 workers as is Homeland Security and the FBI. The IRS is looking at five to seven days of furloughs — after they collect the money to run what's left of the government.
Agriculture, and other agencies with less direct contact with the majority of the public, don't have such draconian plans. They are saying they can weather the storm with things like a hiring freeze. Social Security believes it can avoid furloughs. That could be the result of good management or word from politicians — who have their own reasons for scaring and irritating the public — not to rock the boat with older voters.
Workers at Health and Human Services are waiting to hear what sequestration will do to them. One employee said:
"Since HHS has, I believe, 60,000 federal employees and numerous agencies and offices, they should be reporting something. I can tell you the employees here, including myself and my staff, are perplexed and confused why HHS always seems to be shrouded in secrecy. It would be really nice and perhaps even a professional courtesy to us if they could report something.Another employee, a long-timer with the Justice Department put it:
"Great article yesterday. For me, too many of today's government 'leaders' are too quick to put the worst face on a tough situation rather than rolling up their sleeves and taking the Rosie the Riveter approach of 'We can do it.' The federal circus is becoming so bad that P.T. Barnum wouldn't have bid on it even if at foreclosure pricing. ... Gee - I hope I didn't offend anyone or say something politically incorrect. I'll kick it to media relations for a spin job and damage control. Barf!" — AnonSo, what's the latest furlough information. Check out our furlough tracker for the latest.

2014 budget battle lines drawn around federal pay, benefits
When it comes to the federal workforce, the competing House and Senate fiscal year 2014 budget plans differ greatly in tone and substance.
One says federal workers are overpaid and unfairly benefit from a too-generous retirement package. The other says federal employees have "borne the brunt" of recent spending reductions through a pay freeze and the threat of furloughs.
Agencies reducing services even before furloughs occur
Employees at TSA, Customs and Border Protection and Bureau of Prisons will no longer be able to work overtime. SSA has offered its employees a new round of early retirements to deal with budget shortfalls. The American Federation of Government Employees says it is continuing to press Congress and the White House to stop sequestration.
Senate panel set to approve 2014 budget sparing safety net programs
The Senate Budget Committee is expected to vote today on the chamber's first budget since President Barack Obama took office. The measure spreads $1 trillion in cuts to health care providers, the Department of Defense and domestic agencies as well as interest on the debt. The House Budget Committee approved its own version of a 2014 budget yesterday.

KANAGAWA, JAPAN--Japan's Kanagawa Institute of Technology has announced the successful transmission of an uncompressed 8K ultra-high-definition video earlier this month. The video trial--which took place Feb. 5 during the Sapporo Snow Festival, one of Japan's largest winter sporting events--was hosted by Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology and involved the transmission of uncompressed 8K video over a 100 Gbps Ethernet path linking the two cities.
The uncompressed video transmission demonstration also involved Japan's National University Corporation of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology, the NTT-IT Corporation, PFU Limited, AstroDesign, and the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation. The demonstration, referred to as the Sapporo Snow Festival Verification Test Event, involved the transmission of progressively-scanned 60-frame per second 8K UHD video content sent as a 12-bit stream at 24 Gbps. The received video was stored on two "super high-speed" video servers equipped with IP interfaces.

Women's Volleyball Earns Split in Final Day of Limestone Crossover
September 5, 2009
GAFFNEY, S.C. Brittany Dickens and Jordan OBryant helped the Lady Falcons womens volleyball team split a pair of matches on the final day of the Limestone Crossover. Pfeiffer fell early in the morning to Lander 3-0 (15-25, 15-25, 23-25) before bouncing back to sweep North Greenville 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-19) in the afternoon. Dickens registered 18 kills on the day while OBryant tallied 16 pacing Pfeiffer offensively. The Lady Falcons now stand at 3-4 on the year.
In the first match against Lander, Pfeiffer struggled again in the hitting department finishing at just 12% for the match, needing a 21% attack percentage in set three to help out the overall total. Dickens led the way in match one with nine kills while OBryant threw down a half-dozen. Colleen Wands had 14 of the 27 team assists against Lander.
In the afternoon session against North Greenville, Pfeiffer saw their match hitting percentage end at 22% with totals of 25% and 35% in the final pair of sets. OBryant reached double figures in match two with 10 kills. Dickens had nine kills and along with Kristina Mordini to provide the points. Wands finished match two with 17 helpers while Vanessa Gerig chipped in with 14.
The Lady Falcons get back to action on Thursday night in a non-conference match against Catawba. Game time is set for 6:30 p.m. with live stats being available through www.gofalconsports.com.

"I believe that if you've been successful in what you wanted to do in your life, then it's your obligation to spend a good portion of your time sending the elevator back down," actor Kevin Spacey has said. "I've tried today to tell you how much my experience has been shaped by those who came before me – what drives me now and motivates me today, and what will continue to inspire those that follow. The truth is…all of us can send the elevator back down because it doesn't matter what floor you're on – in life – there's always someone just below – just waiting for the chance to be invited in." (Watch video here).
Oglethorpe University doesn't have many elevators on its campus; we have bookoos of staircases. You'll constantly see faculty and staff members huffing and puffing their way up the stairs in Hearst and Lupton Halls. The students don't seem to have as much of a problem with the never-ending stairs.
What's the point of this post, you ask? Well, the Alumni Office encourages alumni – once they've climbed the corporate ladder (or gone up the elevator…) and are the ones doing the hiring – to think of OU students and recent grads. Send the down elevator to pick up some Petrels so they can start their own careers…and one day they'll be able to send the elevator back down.

For more, be sure to check out part one, part two, and part three of the listings.
Note: Go here for the latest 2011-12 season list.
Networks and cable channels have different ideas of when a season starts or ends but, to us, it makes sense to start the season on June 1, 2010 and and it on May 31, 2011. In some cases, the last episode of a show aired earlier than these dates but the network didn't get around to canceling the series until later. If you don't see what you're looking for, try the 2008–2009 page, the 2009–2010 listings.

By Drew Davis
OXFORD, Ohio – Sophomore forward Riley Barber scored a career-high four goals to lead No. 2 Miami to a 6-3 win over Ohio State to complete the home-and-home series sweep Saturday night at Steve Cady Arena. Junior captain Austin Czarnik registered a career-high four points on the night for the RedHawks (2-0-0) to help take down the former CCHA rival Buckeyes (0-2-0) for the third-straight time, dating back to last season.
After winning the opening faceoff, Czarnik took a pass from senior Max Cook along the left boards and fed it ahead to Barber who muscled it past a defender. He cut in front of the crease and beat Ohio State goaltender Matt Tomkins, five-hole, for the 1-0 Miami lead just 14 seconds into the game. Barber's tally was the second-fastest goal to start a game in team history, behind just Tim Huettl who scored 12 seconds into a game against Michigan-Dearborn on Jan. 3, 1986.
Barber added his second of the night on a rebound in front of the net at 4:27 of the first period. Czarnik intercepted a pass at center ice and fired in the initial shot. Cook found the loose puck and pushed it to his left where Barber, trailing the play, put it into the back of the net for the 2-0 Miami lead.
Ohio State answered back when senior Alex Szczechura took advantage of a Miami penalty and scored on the power play with 1:57 left on the clock in the first period. The goal marked the first time this season that Miami surrendered a goal on the penalty kill after finishing 3-for-3 on Friday night.
Sophomore Sean Kuraly pushed the Miami lead back to two goals at 13:34 of the second period when he took the puck from behind the OSU net. He picked up a loose puck in the corner and took it behind the net where he initially looked to wrap around the net and got pushed wide. He spun back behind the net and looked for a teammate open in the slot, but couldn't find anyone and took it himself toward the right circle. As he continued to look for a teammate, he saw an opening as the Buckeyes failed to pressure him and ripped a wrist shot between Tomkins' glove and the right pipe.
Szczechura brought Ohio State back to within one when he redirected a shot from junior Tanner Fritz past sophomore goalkeeper Ryan McKay at 17:38 of the second frame.
Less than a minute later, only 14 seconds into a one-man advantage, Barber took a pass from Czarnik at the left point just in front of the blue line and walked it forward, unmarked, to the top of the faceoff circle and fired a wrister through traffic, past Tomkins for the 4-2 Miami lead with 1:26 left in the second period. With the goal, the Miami sophomore became the first RedHawk to record a hat trick since Riley Smith did it against Western Michigan on Jan. 20 2012.
At some point during the play, a pane of glass was broken and forced the teams to the locker rooms for an early second intermission as the Goggin Ice Center staff worked to replace it. Once the glass had been replaced and the ice resurfaced, play resumed with the final 1:26 of the second period followed by the third period.
In the final period, Czarnik, after assisting on each of Barber's three goals to that point, added his fourth point of the game when he lit the lamp at 14:17 of the third. Czarnik got behind the Buckeye defense and moved in from the blue line all alone on a breakaway. He moved the puck to his forehand and beat the goalie glove-side to put Miami ahead 5-2.
Barber capped the scoring for the RedHawks with a short-handed empty netter with 2:46 left to play in the game. Sophomore defenseman Matthew Caito collected a pass from McKay and pushed it toward the Miami bench to clear the defensive zone. Barber picked up the puck and sent a lob all the way down the ice into the vacant goal for his fourth goal of the game, becoming the first RedHawk to tally four goals in a game since Tommy Wingels did it at Ohio State on December 11, 2009. McKay's assist on the play was the first by a Miami goaltender since Connor Knapp on January 21, 2012 against Western Michigan.
The Buckeyes outshot the RedHawks 41-38. McKay stopped 38 shots in the winning effort while Tomkins made 32 saves on the other end of the ice. Miami was 1-for-2 on the power play, improving to 4-for-10 on the season, and 5-for-7 on the penalty kill, including one short-handed goal.
The RedHawks now turn their attention to NCHC play as they prepare to host new conference foe North Dakota in the league's opening game next weekend, Oct. 18-19 at Steve Cady Arena. Friday's game starts at 7 p.m. as will be broadcast on the CBS Sports Network.

Yes, just like black people did all those years ago.
I read about this recently, and then I remembered something that happened a long time ago, when I was in Israel.
I visited Israel some time ago, and I got onto a bus, and sat down at the front. A man started motioning to me to sit at the back of the bus. I looked down the back, and wondered why he wanted me to sit at the back of the bus. He kept telling me to sit at the back of the bus, but I didn't understand why.
NOw, I'm very slow to catch onto things, and when I don't understand something, I tend to stay put. I felt extremely uncomfortable, because there was a definate air of hostility.
But now I realise that I was supposed to sit at the back of the bus, BECAUSE I WAS A WOMAN.
I've heard of women being beaten up by Orthodox religious men because they sat at the front of the bus in Israel. I think that Israel needs a Rosa Parks.

Soho Grand Hotel, New York
310 West Broadway at Grand Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Soho
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
On the outside, with its cheery pink brick facade, the SoHo Grand resembles a brand-new shopping complex. But inside is a different story. Cast iron dogs stand guard at industrial design central — square lights, molded concrete walls, a coffee table the size of a grand piano. There's mesh wire glass everywhere, including on the writing desks in the rooms. The floors are the same stuff you see on New York sidewalks — corrugated steel for the elevators, and cast iron and glass for the stairs.
When it opened in 1996, the Grand was the first big SoHo hotel, and its downtown location has continued to be a major factor in its identity. Take the concierges, who can get you a reservation at the hottest underground restaurant and fill you in on the hippest goings-on. Here's where you'll find Tokyo urbanites in platforms, tough-talking London businessmen on their cells, lanky Nigerian models, many rock and roll musicians, and a lot of crazy hair. It's easy for that much hipness to be intimidating, but the Grand, despite its name, is warm and happy. Maybe it's the pet friendly atmosphere — Fifi can munch on a biscuit at the bar while you drink your Tartini, and you can even borrow a goldfish to keep you company through those long Manhattan nights. Or perhaps it's the fact that while it's undisputedly cool, the Grand is also curiously reminiscent of dormitory days, with its reupholstered sofas and signature dish of macaroni and cheese on the menu, available in any of the three dining spaces on the second floor (plus The Yard outside during the warmer season).

What I liked:
I liked several things about the hotel but right off the bat, I loved the doormen and their uniforms. Secondly, the second floor check in staff were so helpful and accommodating. Loved the lounge, too, just off the check-in area. Very cozy, and suitable for pitching the next big thing to private equity groups to just taking a personal breather from the heat and hustle of the city!
Also really loved the free coffee machine on the floor!!
What the hotel could do better:
I wish the AC/Heat were updated. The roar of the AC from under the window was at times a bit loud.

Pharmacy students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Pharmacy have been out in the community spreading holiday cheer and sharing their health knowledge with others. On Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2010, second year students from the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) and the Mentoring Club visited the Impact Afterschool Program at the Urban Erie Quality of Life Learning Center on East 19th Street.
|LECOM pharmacy student Katheryne Hassman explains the food pyramid to children at the Urban Erie Quality of Life Learning Center on East 19th Street.
LECOM pharmacy students worked with 18 elementary school-aged children from the neighborhood, teaching them about the importance of immunizations that will keep them healthy. Students explained how vaccines help the body fight off diseases.
The children also learned about the importance of eating right. The future pharmacists brought in a large food pyramid poster and laminated pictures of food for the lesson. Each child picked a food cut-out and then tried to place the food in the proper region of the food pyramid. The children had fun taking part in the interactive educational exercise.
SNPhA President Denise Traficante said working with the children is a rewarding experience. "It gives us a sense of accomplishment that we cannot get in the classroom," Traficante said. "The children are always very happy to see us there and eagerly participate in the programs we present."
Following the afterschool presentation, the LECOM SNPhA leaders made a timely and practical donation to the Learning Center. LECOM students collected hats, gloves, scarves, socks and fleece sweatshirts in December and presented their donation to Glenn Duck, Job Developer for the Urban Erie Community Development Corporation. Many of the children do not have proper warm weather gear, so these items will surely help keep them warm.
|Second-year pharmacy students from LECOM's Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) donated hats, gloves, scarves, socks and fleece sweatshirts to the Urban Erie Quality of Life Learning Center. Pictured in photo (L-R): Harrison Sarpong, Arthur Malahimov, Abdul Issa, Riley Williams II, Katheryne Hassman, Glenn Duck, Urban Erie Community Development Corporation, Denise Traficante.
In planning the fundraiser, Traficante said she talked to representatives from the center about things the children often go without because of their families' financial difficulties. "We decided it would be a great way of showing the children that our students care, providing them with things family members often have to share or go without," Traficante said. "It's a huge boost to the children's self-esteem, being able to keep warm in the winter elements."
LECOM students continued their giving the following Friday. They presented a $154 check to Community Health Net (CHN) C.E.O. John Schultz for the organization's Ryan White Program, which helps fund health care services for HIV/AIDS patients.
Second-year pharmacy students Traficante and Abdul Issa, SNPhA treasurer, made the donation to Shultz on behalf of the efforts of SNPhA and the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) club. Both organizations raised the funds during a red ribbon sale that commemorated World AIDS Day earlier this month.
"SNPhA has organization initiatives on the national level, which includes AIDS/HIV Awareness/Education," said Traficante. "During a planning meeting held by Dr. Richard Ortoski for World AIDS Awareness Day, SOMA and SNPhA agreed to sell the red ribbons."
Currently, the Community Health Net Ryan White Program serves 116 active Erie-area patients between the ages of 19 and 69 by helping individuals who are infected with HIV/AIDS access affordable vision and dental care, as well as medications.

The donation will benefit the Ryan White Program, which is designed to fund HIV/AIDS patients with treatment and services. SNPhA advisor Randall Heemer, Pharm.D., from left; Mary Fetzner, CHN nurse case manager of the Ryan White Program; and SNPhA Treasurer Abdul Issa, P2, where also in attendance at the check presentation event.

Lighting the way
There was a time when automakers used glass for headlights because it was a sturdy material. As cars got more complex in shape and design, glass wasn't an appealing material because it couldn't be shaped to match the lines of the vehicle. This brought about a transition to plastic or polycarbonate headlights, both of which are more malleable and shaped easier to fit modern car designs. Not to mention, these materials are also cheaper and lighter than glass.
However, the drawback to using plastic headlights is that over time they oxidize and turn yellow and cloudy from salt, UV rays and other debris that's encountered while driving.
Outside the lights
Cloudy and yellow headlights do not look good aesthetically, and they can also hinder the beams of light coming from the bulbs, making them less effective.
Many mistakenly think the problem is on the inside of the lens, so they spend money replacing the headlights altogether. What these people don't know is that most of the time the cloudiness is on the outside of the headlight, as in the picture shown above, which makes it easy to fix.
Inside the lights
Before you take measures to correct the headlights, evaluate them for any moisture or cracked parts. If there's any moisture trapped inside the lens, there may be a leak in the headlight assembly, so cleaning the outside of the lens will do very little to improve the clarity and light output. To remedy this situation, the inside of the headlight lens needs to be cleaned, dried and sealed to prevent further moisture from entering. To remove excess moisture, drill a pin hole in the lens to let the moisture out and then reseal it.
If you find that the problem is on the outer surface of the headlights, save your money and restore the headlights yourself in about 30 minutes.
Tools you will need
The process of restoring lights works by grinding away a very thin layer of plastic at a time. Use caution when restoring headlights because taking off too much of the plastic can be detrimental. And, be sure to use a buffing compound that is the correct grit, as something too coarse can remove too much of the plastic and can leave scratches.
For this process, here's what you'll need:
- A dual action polisher
- A wool polishing pad
- A 1-inch paint brush
- Variable grit compound P600
- A microfiber towel
- Painter's tape
- Carwash soap
- A sponge
- An extension cord
Follow these steps
Following the restoration steps below should leave you with clear, shiny headlights.
1. Park the vehicle in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause water and other materials to dry too fast, which can have adverse effects.
2. It's always important to start with clean headlights, as any dirt or debris left on the headlights when using the polisher may cause additional scratches. You don't have to wash the entire vehicle, but at least wet the headlights and clean them using carwash soap and a sponge. Dry them using a microfiber towel, and your surface is now prepped for restoration.
3. Tape off all edges of the headlights with painter's tape. It's important to do this as a precaution against unnecessary polishing of the paint on the hood or the bumper. The tape provides a protective buffer.
4. Plug in the dual action polisher, using the extension cord if needed, and attach the wool pad to the face of the polisher.
5. Take the 1-inch paint brush and apply a thin layer of the variable grit compound P600 to the entire headlight, but be prepared for the next step, as you should NOT leave the compound on the headlight long enough for it to dry.
6. Turn the polisher on to a medium speed, and buff the compound into the headlight for two to three minutes. Use an up and down motion along the length of the headlight, and then switch to a left to right motion to go back. It's important to alternate motions so the compound gets as much of the undesired surface off as possible. Also remember to always keep the polisher moving. Leaving it in one place for too long can cause burns since it is a plastic surface.
7. Wipe off any residue that is left from the compound using the microfiber towel, and inspect the headlight. If there is still a haze to the surface, repeat steps 5 and 6. It may be necessary to repeat these steps three or four times before the cloudiness is completely removed.
8. Once you are satisfied with the result, remove the painter's tape. Wash the headlights again to ensure that all debris has been removed.
Now your headlights should be back to crystal clear and should allow optimum light through the lens for better performance at night. Keep in mind, replacing headlights can cost up to $500, so providing this professional service can be of excellent value to your customers.

"We are back. We did have a wonderful time with our daughter and I certainly had no reason at all for being at all nervous that things would not go smoothly. Everyone associated with our time in Iguazu Falls was helpful, more than pleasant and always on time. I thought originally that we could manage such a trip on our own. But when we got there and saw the hassles we would have run into with the visas, border crossings, transportation and such, I realized that going the way we did was the wise choice. Absolutely we would travel with you again. And if anyone asks about the best way to see that part of the country, I would not hesitate to recommend KT. "

We enjoyed all of the locations we visited – the beauty of the landscapes, the sight of wildlife, the rich culture & interesting history of Argentina & the outgoing, positive attitude of its people. Our guides were terrific – so friendly & knowledgeable & helpful & enthusiastic! We had no delays or difficulties & our accommodations were outstanding.

"Wow! All my life, I have planned and organized our trips, requiring considerable research and contact time--not to mention, most significantly, all the stress involved at each destination to make sure all connections are made. This time, I put it in the hands of some extremely capable people--and sat back and relaxed. And relax I did! We were booked into full-service, quality accommodations at all times; our transport and tour guidance were all on an individual, private basis, except where public transportation was in order; and--most valuable to us--we were met and assisted through all travel/hotel connections. We truly felt pampered. At one point, in fact, we had a problem with an immigration paper that we had lost, and a Kensington representative personally accompanied us through the whole process of replacing it--even though we were officially "on our own" that day. That's what makes the difference--the responsibility and accountability toward clients. Kudos to Kensington and to our representative, Brandi Merchant. We are already planning more travel and see no reason to look any further than to an agency that has earned our trust. "

Miscues Cost Women's Volleyball as Erskine Sweeps on Friday Night 3-0
September 28, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Visiting Erskine College took advantage of 41 errors by host Pfeiffer University claiming a 3-0 (25-22, 26-24, 25-20) sweep in Conference Carolinas women's volleyball action on Friday night. The win pushes the Fleet to 5-7 overall, 5-2 in league play while the Lady Falcons drop their third-straight moving to 2-11, 1-4.
In set one, Erskine outscored Pfeiffer 5-2 with a 20-20 tie after both teams had gone back-and-forth in the first set. In the middle stanza, Pfeiffer rallied from down 17-13, had game point at 24-23, until the Fleet rallied back again for the 26-24 win. The third set saw the Lady Falcons blow a 5-0 start as Erskine went from down 10-5 to up 14-10 scoring nine-straight points. Another late run of five-in-a-row iced the sweep for the Fleet.
Caitlin Bullock led the Fleet with 10 kills on the night as Erskine hit .407 in the final set. Lauren Stewart and Kelly Sullivan would each followed closely with nine while Larz Chabra assisted a match-high 29 times. The bright spots for Pfeiffer saw Kelly Lancellot put down a match-high 11 kills hitting .429 on the night while Brianna Jones added six hitting an even .500.
Pfeiffer quickly returns to action on Homecoming Weekend 2012 hosting Queens on Saturday beginning at 2:00 p.m. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

- Christianity and Disability: Thinking Theologically about Brokenness
Any man or woman who lives long enough will join the ranks of the disabled. How do we think theologically about such brokenness?
The mission of Dallas Theological Seminary is to glorify God by equipping godly servant-leaders for the proclamation of His Word and the building up of the body of Christ worldwide.

Exquisitely dressed, often musically accomplished, and adept in the art of conversation, the Japanese geisha is specifically trained to entertain men at social gatherings. Sixteen magnificently detailed portraits depict geishas wearing a series of marvelous costumes: accented with birds, strewn with lush blossoms, and dotted with brilliant foliage. The beautiful young women are seen playing musical instruments, resting in a garden setting, carrying urns of floral arrangements, walking gracefully with a parasol, and in other delightful vignettes. Colorists of all ages can bring these elegant geishas magically to life simply by coloring the pictures with paints, crayons, felt-tip pens, or colored pencils and placing them in front of a window or other source of bright light for dazzling stained glass effects. Paperback, 16 full-page black-and-white illustrations printed on translucent paper.

I'm new on this forum so I just want to ask some beginner questions about the 2.3 framework.
Well I see that the professional framework with Plus Membership now costs 87$ until October 10th.
I plan to buy this framework to make a website for my university here in Romania. Is the professional plan suitable for this kind of site? (If you own the PageLines Professional Edition you can use it on multiple sites owned by you or your organization.) - that's what it says @FAQ. Now I will not OWN the university site, I will just make it. The 2.3 framework that I'll buy will ONLY be used for this one particular site.
Is what i want to do legal?
Another thing that I would like to ask: The *Terms of Service* say that page lines is licensed under GNU license. Ok so that requires the developer to copyright its product.
Now I'm asking you: Where do I find the copyright notices, trademarks, etc.
You may not remove, obscure, or alter PageLines' copyright notices, trademarks,or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within the PageLines Framework.) so that I know not to remove them?
What other things are there that I shouldn't modify? (for example, can i remove the things like "pagelines.com was created with pagelines and wordpress" or links/images - that leaf - in the footer?)
Thanks, have a great day!

I didn't know exactly where to put this one. I know there are some Eugene, Oregon participants here. I'm wondering about this news report.
A woman is in danger of dying because a python is constricting around her. The police officer is about to kill the snake, but the woman pleads for its life!!! Dude, in Texas, the snake dies. But in Eugene, Oregon, the brave officer carefully removes the snake, gets some teeth in the thumb, and basically risks his own life. Moral - if you are a snake, Eugene is the place to be.
Is this normal behavior in other parts of the country?

TomTom's Start range takes a step away from the budget market with the Start 20. Offering a 4.3in widescreen, a European map option, and the potential to add RDS-TMC traffic updates, the Start 20 is much closer to what previous generations of TomTom GO offered. However, the screen mount is still integrated, albeit of a much sturdier ball-jointed variety. It brings yet more of TomTom's premium features down to an even more affordable level.

HILLSBORO Police arrested a suspect Saturday who allegedly attacked a gay couple walking their dog Friday afternoon.
Police arrested the transient and charged him with intimidation, assault, unlawful use of a weapon and reckless driving.
At about 3:30 p.m., David Beltier and his boyfriend werewalkingtheir pink poodle near the Tanasbourne Town Center at Northwest Evergreen Parkway and Northwest 185th Street when the suspect pulled into a nearby parking lot and got out and hit Beltier, said Mike Rouches with Hillsboro Police.
Mason was driving a late 90s Land Rover, and police said after he hit the victim, he grabbed either a pipe or a wrench and again hit the man on the back of his head.
Police later found the vehicle in the parking lot of a Target store at 19000 NW Evergreen Road. Mason's wife was in the vehicle and he was found nearby on foot, Rouches said.
Honestly I'm devastated by it, said Beltier. My family is all concerned about me.
The attacker also reportedly shouted a homophobic epithet at the victim while he attacked him.
I'm just thankful he didn't have a more serious weapon like a gun and pull it out, said Jeremy Mark, the victim's boyfriend.
The victim refused medical attention and said he did not recognize his assailant.
He could've gone more at it and killed me on that sidewalk, said Beltier.

Sara Bareilles Biography & News
Sara Bareilles Details

About Sara Bareilles
11/24/13: The phrase 'use the gifts God gave you' gets thrown around the music industry a lot, but in the case of Sara Bareilles it's undoubtedly true. This talented songwriter and versatile pianist is one of the top superstars in the music industry, and she got there with no formal training.
How would you like to be 18 years old, leave home in pursuit of a career that can be completely unforgiving and still give it your all? Better yet, how would you like to be the one who comes out even stronger on the other side? Bareilles not only went to LA in search of a music career, she attended UCLA's Communications Studies program and did all she could to soak in the world around her.
Open mic nights were a stepping stone to demos, and demos a stepping stone to a full-length album. And by the time Bareilles was ready for her first label release in 2007 she quickly achieved mainstream success with the hit single, "Love Song." Not only did it reach the number one spot on the Billboard Pop 100, it was the catalyst to Bareilles rolling out songs like "King of Anything" and "Gonna Get Over You."
To date Bareilles has sold over one million records and over four million singles in the U.S. alone and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards. Her latest album, "The Blessed Unrest," was released on July 13, 2013. A live project, "Brave Enough: Live at the Variety Playhouse," bowed on October 22 after it was recorded at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Georgia.
