The fine art of regulating performances
Published on Jun 9, 2014 7:26 AM
Arts practitioners who are up in arms over the Media Development Authority's arts term licensing scheme are free, of course, to opt out of the scheme, which allows self-classification of performances with age-appropriate ratings. A total of 45 groups have backed a position paper by artists' network Arts Engage that opposes the scheme for various reasons, including the use of content assessors trained by MDA, fines and penalties for misclassification, and the so-called misrepresentation of MDA's terminology.
If the vast majority of arts groups indeed choose to opt out of the scheme at this stage - the pilot run is to start next month and views were sought last year - the public would not be wrong in viewing this as a regrettable communication failure on the part of both sides.
MDA sees the scheme as "a major step towards advancing co-regulation with the arts industry in general". But arts groups see such co-regulation as tantamount to self-censorship, which they object to in the name of art. Authentic co-regulation cannot take place, they maintain, when "art works are subject to prescribed guidelines and criteria pre-determined by MDA, without adequate and prior consultation or discussion".
The principles of the arts entertainment classification code - which replaces the classification framework of 2008 - have been aired quite extensively. And MDA has gone on record to state that principles are to be "reviewed periodically to reflect societal changes and expectations of Singaporeans".

Detroit students to get early homework assignments
By AP
DETROIT – Some Detroit Public Schools students are being afforded a chance to get a head start on the coming academic year with early homework assignments.
The district is expected to announce Monday that more than 28,600 third- through eighth-graders will receive educational activity books with assignments that must be turned in for extra credit on Sept. 7.
Assistant Superintendent Karen Ridgeway says the homework is part of an initiative to ensure students begin learning as soon as they enter the classroom.
The 62-page booklets will be mailed in a back-to-school packet that contains school assignments, immunization updates and other information. They contain literacy exercises and activities that emphasize problem subject areas for some students.

Steve McNair's death was ruled a homicide by Metro police. / GEORGE WALKER IV / FILE / THE TENNESSEAN
A former Metro police officer will ask a grand jury Friday to reopen an investigation into the death of former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair.
Vincent Hill said Tuesday night that police made multiple errors in investigating McNair's death and that alibis were contradictory for several people involved in the case.
But the Metro police department "stands by its investigation and the conclusions drawn, which were that McNair was a homicide victim at the hands of Sahel Kazemi, who then died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound," spokesman Don Aaron said Tuesday evening.
The police investigation concluded that Kazemi, McNair's mistress, shot him as he slept on July 4, 2009, and then turned the gun on herself.
Aaron said Hill "resigned from the police department in 2006 with disciplinary action pending. He was never a detective with the Metro police department."
A police document from September 2006 accuses Hill of disobeying orders to stop a police pursuit at the county line and then being untruthful about it to his supervisor.
Hill said he resigned to spend more time with his daughter, who was then 10 years old.
Hill said he filed a 32-page complaint June 1 and that the Davidson County grand jury has agreed to examine it.
"At this point they've at least reviewed what I sent them and want to review the case," Hill said.
A grand jury hearing a civilian complaint is "not unheard of, and indeed I think the grand jury is being responsible for at least reviewing what this gentleman has to say," Nashville attorney David Raybin said Tuesday.
"I certainly agree it's unusual, but given the fact that the person is a former police officer and you have a case of extremely high visibility there - I'm certainly not shocked that they would consider this," Raybin said.
"But I would hasten to add that ... this thing was investigated very, very thoroughly. At the end of the day, I've not seen or heard any evidence to suggest that it was anything other than a murder-suicide."
Hill said he is now a fraud investigator for a credit card company and he hopes to earn his private investigator license in August. He self-published a book, Playbook to a Murder, giving his theories on McNair's death.
"It's never been about selling the books, because I spoke out on this a few days after the murder," Hill said.

How to Be a Service Advisor: Step-by-Step Career Guide
Learn how to become a service advisor. Research the education requirements, training information and experience required for starting a career as a service advisor.
Do I Want to Be a Service Advisor?
A service advisor typically works in a car dealership and is the liaison between the customer and service technicians working in the garage. They work with customers to determine problems with a vehicle and provide technicians with accurate repair descriptions. Additionally, service advisors are responsible for greeting customers, listening to requests, scheduling appointments, and estimating costs. They may also be responsible for verifying insurance coverage, conducting inspections, and test driving vehicles.
The work environment of a service advisor depends largely on the car dealership with which they are employed. Car dealerships often utilize automotive repair technicians or their sales agents to meet their customer service needs. Those that are not certified as service technicians may have a harder time finding full-time employment as a service advisor. Full-time service advisors will spend most of their time in an office setting, although they will also visit the repair shop regularly. Within the shop, risks of injury are minimal, but present.
Job Requirements
While a college degree is not required, postsecondary education will be beneficial when seeking employment. Entry-level training may be required before obtaining a service advisor position. The following table contains the core requirements for becoming a service advisor.
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|College degree not required; postsecondary education beneficial*
|Experience in the field may be necessary before working as a service advisor*
|Key Skills
|Customer service, interpersonal skills, communication skills, problem-solving, decision-making, understanding of automotive technology**
|Computer Skills
|Industry computer software knowledge when working with repair orders and entering information into databases*
Sources: *Employment Development Department, State of California (EDD), **Henry Ford Community College
Step 1: Enroll in an Automotive Program at the High School Level
Prospective service advisors can begin their education in high school through the Automotive Youth Education Service (AYES) program. In some cases, programs are offered in partnership with automobile manufacturers and franchised dealerships. Completion of this program qualifies high school graduates for entry-level technician positions or for postsecondary automotive education.
Success Tip:
- Consider a training program. Training programs are available at colleges and universities and ensure that individuals have the knowledge and skills to work in the field. These programs usually include classroom lectures, as well as hands-on practice, and can lead to a certificate or associate's degree.
- Look into an apprenticeship. An apprenticeship can provide candidates with the opportunity to learn more about the automotive service industry. Applicants can gain experience by working alongside seasoned professionals and obtain up to 4,000 hours of on-the-job training.
Step 2: Obtain Entry-Level Training
The EDD states that entry-level automotive service advisors typically receive supervised, on-the-job training. Aspiring service advisors can find entry-level employment in private garages and dealerships, as well as automotive equipment companies and government facilities.
Step 3: Pursue Advancement Opportunities
Automotive service advisors may eventually have opportunities for advancement to managerial positions. Promotion to higher-level positions usually requires a few years of work experience gained through entry-level employment.

State OKs Cancer Drug Repository
By Mary Pickels
When cancer patient Sherrie Neal's prescription was changed just days after $16,000 worth of medication was delivered to her Washington County home, she and husband Michael Neal wondered if the unopened drugs could be made available to other patients.
After talking with Sherri's oncologist, the Neals realized there was nothing they could do with the medication but toss it in the trash or flush it.
That spurred Michael Neal into action. He started by contacting state politicians, then the American Cancer Society, and he ultimately contributed to the passage of a Cancer Drug Repository Program.
The new law allows health care facilities, health clinics, hospitals or physicians' offices to return unused cancer drugs to pharmacies. The donated drugs cannot be resold but will be provided to needy patients. The state Board of Pharmacy will set regulations for dispensing the medication.
The repositories are expected to open in Pennsylvania next year through a network of participating pharmacies and medical clinics.
"I think this is a case where the state government got it right and applied good, old-fashioned common sense," said Sen. Rob Wonderling, R-Montgomery County, who introduced Senate Bill 638, the Cancer Drug Repository Program Act. It was signed into law earlier this year by Gov. Edward Rendell.
"It makes no sense to have these unused drugs being thrown away," Wonderling said. "Why not redistribute them so low-income cancer (patients) can use them?"
A two-year quest
Sherrie Neal, 41, was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer in early 2005. She continues to work as a senior accountant in the Southpointe business park.
"She's very private and quiet about what's going on with her," said Neal, 45, who with his father owns William G. Neal Funeral Homes Ltd.
The couple have health insurance, but out of curiosity Neal asked his pharmacist the costs of various medications prescribed for his wife.
"One medicine we had to get — for 100 pills — was almost $3,000," he said.
It was the $16,000 injectable drug that spurred Neal's quest to stop expensive medications from going to waste.
As a funeral home director, Neal said he regularly deals with families who have lost someone to cancer. Sometimes a patient in hospice care can have thousands of dollars worth of unopened, unused medications that have to be destroyed, he said.
"I saw it happen all the time," Neal said.
While talking with a cancer patient on an Internet blog a few years ago, Neal learned that some states — including Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Wisconsin — had drug repository laws.
"I started calling people," he said. "One thing led to another. I certainly wouldn't take credit for getting this done."
Susan Roberts, the American Cancer Society's state policy manager, said she found there was no mechanism in place to donate Sherrie Neal's unused medication.
"It was illegal to do that in Pennsylvania," Roberts said.
"(Neal) said, 'Look, this is not right. It's a lot of medication. It's expensive,' " she said. "I agreed."
Roberts said she and Neal worked together and with legislators for about two years before the legislation was adopted.
"Mike Neal is absolutely an A-1 champion," Roberts said.
A valuable resource
One of Neal's first political contacts was state Rep. Timothy Solobay, D-Canonsburg.
"He immediately jumped on board," Neal said. The next day, Solobay called and said he'd found Wonderling already had started a similar bill.
Wonderling said he had been contacted by several constituents who suggested drug repositories when Solobay suggested running a mimic bill in the House.
The state Board of Pharmacy will regulate the legislation.
"They've got some great blueprints of other states who've done it," Solobay said.
The intention of the bill was to include anyone who can't afford cancer medication: the uninsured, the underinsured, and the indigent, he said.
State Board of Pharmacy regulations likely will include only medications in original, sealed and tamper-resistant packaging for "recycling."
The American Cancer Society considers unused cancer medication a valuable resource for low-income patients and urged legislators to pass the legislation.
"We support it because cancer medication is so expensive," said Diane Phillips, the society's state agency director for government regulations.
"From an access to care standpoint, it's a great step," Phillips said. "We're anxious to see it getting in operation."
Leslie Amoros, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State, said the depository regulations are in "the very preliminary stages."
"We really don't have specifics to share at this point," she said.
Long active with the ACS's Relay for Life, Neal said he and his wife continue to raise money for cancer research as well as for neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer.
They said they are pleased that the legislation passed so quickly.
"We're dealing with a horrible disease," Neal said. "If something good can come out of it, maybe it will give it a little more meaning."

What kind of boating experience are you looking for when you get to your boat? The Bay offers a range of opportunity from city skylines, to quaint little towns, to some beautiful rural areas.
Where you locate your boat will impact the kind of experience you have. Annapolis, Baltimore or the Norfolk area offer a lot of land based attractions in addtion to the bay, but come with the attendant crowds of people. Other areas offer more of a get away.
My boat is at Deltaville, VA which would probably be an hour from Norfolk airport. The area has several experienced boat yards, some decent places to eat and not much else. Large vessel traffic in the area is less of a concern than around the big port cities. We really enjoy the fact that our "home away from home" is in an area very different from our home in Northern Virginia.

Ioane in Twitter trouble
Australia international facing fine after making referee comments
Last Updated: 03/05/11 4:31pm
Ioane: faces judicial hearing
Australia international Digby Ioane is the latest high-profile name to get into hot water via the Twitter website after calling a match official the "worst ever ref".
The Queensland Reds back tweeted the remark about referee Keith Brown last weekend and now faces a stiff fine.
Brown awarded a controversial late penalty last Saturday which allowed the Wellington Hurricanes to beat the Reds 28-26 and end the Australian team's run of seven successive wins.
The Wallabies winger later deleted the comment from his page but that has not saved him from a disciplinary hearing.
"Queensland Reds wing Digby Ioane has been charged with contravening the SANZAR code of conduct and will face a judicial hearing on Wednesday," said a statement released by Super Rugby organisers on Tuesday.
"The charge stems from a comment made by Ioane on the social media website Twitter after the Reds' loss to the Hurricanes in Wellington last Saturday."
Another Wallabies back, Matt Giteau, was fined A$5,000 ($5,500.000) for critcising referee Steve Walsh after the ACT Brumbies lost to the New South Wales Waratahs last year.

BJP president Rajnath Singh said Monday the highest turnout in the Lok Sabha election was a clear indication of change and people wanting a government with a full majority.
In a statement in Delhi, Rajnath Singh said people wanted to give a full majority to a Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance government under the leadership of Narendra Modi.
"The highest polling in 2014 election was a clear indication of people wanting a stable, effective government with full majority," Rajnath Singh said.
"It is naturally a reflection of people's desire for change (of government)," he added.
The BJP leader said he was confident NDA will get full majority and "we will take the country to new heights".
The national voter turnout of 66.38% in the 2014 general election was the highest in Indian polls.
The NDA is seeking to oust the Congress-led UPA from power.

Drew Mitchell and Ben Alexander are the only two changes to the Wallabies side that lost the last Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney.
Alexander is back from a knee injury while Mitchell replaces Lachie Turner on the wing despite the latter's impressive showing against the All Blacks. Coach Robbie Deans said that Mitchell's selection was down to what he brings to the back-three combination.
'We've re-established the back three that did so well for us in South Africa during the year,' he said. 'Lachie did really well for us in Sydney and he's been rewarded with a place on the bench.
'From the team's perspective, the combination that has been so effective throughout the year has now been re-established.'
Wallabies - 15. Kurtley Beale, 14. James O'Connor, 13. Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12. Matt Giteau, 11. Drew Mitchell, 10. Quade Cooper, 9. Will Genia, 8. Ben McCalman, 7. David Pocock, 6. Rocky Elsom (c), 5. Nathan Sharpe, 4. Mark Chisholm, 3. Ben Alexander, 2. Stephen Moore, 1. Benn Robinson

Getting Internet access while on charter is often a challenge. I travel with a laptop as well as a Blackberry, and usually one or the other can find a signal, but in general, I experience angst aboard every charter yacht I visit until I see the online connection actually up and running. Too many times, I have been told that a yacht will have Internet access only to learn that WiFi is available only occasionally at marinas, or via a satellite system that charges thousands of dollars for a week's worth of e-mails and photo uploads to places like this blog.
Thus, I was interested to learn this week about YachtWeb.gr, a new venture that is seeking to simplify Web access for charter clients in Greece. The service is a division of Multihull Yachting, which has been in the bareboat business in Greece since 2002. Multihull Yachting was hearing from its U.S. and Western European clients that they were suffering tremendously high roaming charges when trying to get online from their bareboats, so the company negotiated a contract with Cosmote, the largest mobile network operator in Greece, and came up with a package plan for charter clients who want local rates for online access while cruising in Greek waters.
"We deliver to our clients, directly at their yacht, a USB modem that contains a SIM card," company owner Vasilis Podiadis told me. "If the clients have their own laptop, our staff will help them install the device and test that is operating. If the clients do not have a laptop, they can rent a netbook from us to take onboard. At the end of the charter, our staff will pick up the equipment."
The cost for rental of the USB modem is a flat rate of €80 for a week's worth of unlimited uploads and downloads, and the price includes local VAT plus any agent's commission (should you, for instance, purchase this service through a reputable charter broker). Netbook rental is an additional €80 per week, Podiadis said.
When I compare the flat modem rate with what most U.S.-based companies charge to use a SIM card on an international roaming plan, or what a charter yacht's VSAT service costs if it is billed in addition to the base rate, then what YachtWeb is offering is quite reasonable–especially if you use Skype on the laptop to make phone calls, thus eliminating your cell phone roaming charges, too.
Podiadis told me that he thus far has been working mostly with bareboat companies in Greece, but that he hopes to expand his service into segments of the crewed charter market where Internet access is not included in the yacht's weekly base rate.
I look forward to "from the field" comments from anyone who uses the YachtWeb service in the future. If it's as good as it sounds, then it seems like a smart idea to me.

Paperless? That's the ticket for blocking scalpers' trade
"This will work with Miley. But when you have these almost Draconian restrictions on tickets for shows that are not on the same level as Miley, will that negatively impact people's willingness to buy those seats?"
Competitors worry the paperless ticketing strategy will give Ticketmaster and its clients unchallenged power to dictate prices, a power they fear would be amplified if the Justice Department clears its proposed merger with concert promoter Live Nation.
"They're using their monopoly on the primary market to lock up the secondary market," said Don Vaccaro, chief executive of online ticket reseller TicketNetwork. Ticketmaster denies that it holds a monopoly.
Union-Tribune pop music critic George Varga and staff researcher Merrie Monteagudo contributed to this report.

Casey Veggies - Faces
Artist: Casey Veggies
Producer: Rob Holladay
Album: Life Changes
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 6 votes )
Casey Veggies' new street album is all about the Life Changes the artist has experienced since beginning his journey to the top of the rap game. On the latest single off the project, the L.A. repper addresses one of the most significant and positive recent developments: both at his shows and in his wallet, he's seeing a whole lot of Faces that weren't there before. Rob Holladay provides a hazy synth instrumental to back the emcee as he celebrates the expansion of his fanbase, the growth of his bank account and the myriad other things going right in his life. The newly-released visuals, directed by JeromeD, provide a cinematic depiction of Casey's increasingly lavish lifestyle. Featuring Faces, reader-approved lead single F*ck Witchu and many more quality jams, Life Changes is available now for free streaming and download in the Booth.

A salmon would find it a hardscrabble life in the waterways of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Not because of dried riverbeds, overfishing or pollution, but because the region has more dams per cubic metre of water than any other place on earth.
Hana Barqawi realised her dream of opening her own children's furniture store two years ago in the Jordanian capital of Amman. Ms Barqawi is part of a wave of female entrepreneurs that has swept across the Middle East and North Africa area over the past decade or more.
China's economy is the second largest in the world, but can its currency, renminbi, compete with the US dollar as a global currency?
A little over a year ago the OECD and the World Trade Organization (WTO) launched Trade in Value-Added (TiVA), a new database on trade measured in value-added terms. The evidence that we have unlocked using TiVA has begun to revolutionise our understanding of what is happening in global trade, investment and production. Take global value chains (GVCs), which are a dominant feature of the global economy today. Goods produced in the European Union (EU) and exported to the United States may include raw materials from China and Malaysia, and use services from Japan and India. Goods and services are no longer produced by a firm in one country and sold to consumers in another; production is fragmented around the world, while components cross borders multiple times as value is added to output along the way.
In a recent article in the OECD Observer, Vézina and Melin describe how online platforms lower trade barriers and enable micro to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) to build multinational operations. The contrast with traditional trade is stark, where exporting is normally confined to the largest corporations. Technology is reshaping the international trading landscape, and the changes are real and quantifiable. This is sharpening the role international trade can play in promoting sustainable development.
Small and medium-sized enterprises refers to firms of up to 250 workers each, but did you know that these so-called SMEs make up some 90% of employment in the OECD area?
Talks to free up more trade and investment between the European Union and the United States got under way early in 2013. A good agreement in 2014 would be a positive thing, and not just for the EU and the US. Here is why.
Case studies of specific products, particularly in the electronics industry, show that value creation along a global value chain tends to be unevenly distributed among activities. The highest value creation is found in upstream activities, such as the development of a new concept, research and development (R&D) and the manufacturing of key components. But it is also found in downstream activities, such as marketing, branding and customer service.
Though China has recently been a dominant force in trade and investment on the African continent, India and Korea are fast becoming serious challengers. How can African countries make more of these evolving trends? And what role can the traditional partners in the OECD area play?
The world economy has become more complex, with global value chains and myriad interconnections among producers across continents. This has an impact on trade and investment policy, as well as on development, and exposes the shortcomings of the usual way of measuring trade.
Will China's growth slowdown last and what does it mean for the rest of us?
The new OECD/WTO database on trade in value-added is not just about changing the numbers, but policymakers' approaches too. It gives trade fresh importance, and a place high on the agenda of the UK's G8 presidency.
Getting information and communications "right" has always been a necessary condition for delivering sound policy advice; today, there are many more possibilities to generate and to share evidence-based policy insights, but there are also many more competing messages and messengers. Here are two examples.

remote helicopter10/18/2012
bought as a gift for my husband and he was extremely excited and pleased with the construction and durability of this oroduct
Worked right out of the box. Very cool pics from the air!
Too cool for words.9/12/2012
Just sooo much fun!!!
Bought 2 of these, one worked and one was defective. The side to side and front to back steering would not work on the 2 unit. Contacted both world tech toys and buy.com, after world tech toys did not return my call, and even thought buy.com told me they would get back to me within 24 hours they have not.
Good for what it is8/29/2012
It flies and takes video. Seems relatively stable. Not the longest flight time, but for the price on buy.com, can't go wrong. Video is not bad. This is definitely not an outdoor toy - it is too small to fly in any wind at all.
Soooo Cool!8/24/2012
This is a value just as a fun and controllable helicopter but add to that the nano camera with great quality and you've got FUN! It's smooth flying, maneuverable, and takes very acceptable stills and video. Learning curve involves crashes but this thing is durable enough to survive over and over. You've got to see it to believe it!

Asian countries edge toward war

FBI scolded about Ft. Hood Shooter
A report from the Senate Homeland Security committee said the Defense Department did not inform or train commanders about how to recognize a radicalized Islamic extremist or how to see the difference between that and the peaceful practice of Islam. In addition, the FBI was harshly criticized for not totally sharing information with the military about Major Nidal Hasan and his views and beliefs. the FBI did not pass on some of the initial information up the chain about Hasan's connections because they said it wasn't clear he was connected to terrorists.

U.S. weapons sales may slow
Billions of dollars in weapons deals with Egypt are probably going to be put on hold until the situation clears up there. No one from the Pentagon has said things have been shutdown, but one thing is clear, U.S. arms firms may notice a downturn in the near term. Egypt is due to get $1.3 billion in military aid from the U.S this year. Experts say while the deals may not be on the fast track, they won't disappear, because regardless of who comes to power in North African and Middle Eastern countries facing crises, there will be a demand for U.S. weapons

Yemen joins the fray
The Arab world is consumed by protests demanding democracy and justice. Yemen's president, is hoping to shut-down unrest by offering concessions. But will they be enough? The changes sweeping the region may mean upheaval is not far away. Sporadic demonstrations have already struck the poor Arabian Peninsula state. And the protests are taking place with the understanding that Al Qaida sympathizer Anwar Al Awlaki has urged attacks there to deal with their discontent.

Tunisia showing signs of trouble
Carrying with knives and sticks gangs roam and rule the streets of the Tunisian town of Gessrine. Yesterday those gangs attacked government buildings and they threatened residents. The gangs burnt a youth center and attacked a number of other buildings in. Police were largely absent on the streets on Monday and the Army has had trouble restoring order in Gessrine. The uprising in Tunisia that led to the sacking of former President Ben Ali, is largely responsible for the revolution unfolding in Egypt.

Egyptian military cuts short Washington talks
Egypt's military chief of staff cut short a visit to the Pentagon because of anti-government. U.S. Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. James Cartwright said that Egypt's Lt. Gen. Sami Hafez Anan flew home, just two days into a planned week of meetings in Washington. Anan was in the U.S. for the highest level strategic talks each year between Washington and Cairo. Repeating the Obama administration's position on upheaval in Egypt, Cartwright urged the Egyptian government to show restraint in how it deals with protesters.

Roadside bomb numbers are high
268 American troops were killed last year by roadside bombs in Afghanistan. The Pentagon says since the U.S. invasion in October 2001, 619 U.S. troops have been killed and another 5,764 have been wounded in improvised explosive device (IED) attacks. Overall, at least 1,370 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since the war began. Last year was, by far, the deadliest for all foreign troops, including Americans, with 702 killed, eclipsing the 2009 record of 504. While the number is high, it's about a third of what the number was in Iraq.

Did China steal a stealth fighter?
Did the Chinese pilfer the technology to build their stealth fighter. An official Chinese newspaper has dismissed a report that the country used technology taken from a downed U.S. airplane in its own stealth fighter program. But the concerns are not going away. The Chinese staged the first-known test flight of its J-20 prototype stealth fighter that could one day challenge American air superiority.

Terror suspect to be extradited
A British court on Friday approved the extradition of a terror suspect wanted in the United States over an alleged plot to detonate explosives aboard the New York City subway system. According to the Associated Press, Judge Quentin Purdy said that 24-year-old Abid Naseer can be sent for to the U.S. to stand trial for his alleged role in a terror campaign that would have struck at targets in Britain, Norway and the U.S. U.S. authorities say they aim to prove that Naseer collected bombing ingredients, conducted reconnaissance, and was in frequent contact with other al-Qaida operatives as part of the international plot, previously tied to a foiled plan to detonate explosives aboard the New York City subway and a suspected plot to bomb a busy shopping area in the northern England city of Manchester.

Downhome, handclapping fun that includes a dancing legend!
McPherson's third album, Wedgwood, releases June 10.
Tony Lucca is his first self-titled release, and his first entirely self-produced effort.
Heaven & Earth's new album, Dig, celebrates the sound of iconic '70s rock, a time when rock music was at its purist, most accessible form. Originally begun as an all-star project for guitarist Stuart Smith, Heaven & Earth has since evolved into a full band that also includes Joe Retta (vocals), Chuck Wright (bass), Richie Onori (drums) and Arlan Schierbaum (keyboards).
Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the premiere of a new music video by Heaven & Earth. The track, "No Money, No Love," will be featured on the band's upcoming album Dig, which will be released April 23 by Quarto Valley Records. Dig, which was produced by Dave Jenkins, who has worked with everyone from Metallica to Tower of Power, features special guests Howard Leese (Heart, Paul Rodgers), Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi) and David Paich (Toto).

With the popularization of the term "hate-watch" has come a misconception that if you watch something, and don't like it, you therefore are a hate-watching hater who hates. That is reductive; most of the time, people are just watching, period, and came away with a negative opinion. In fact, as with The Sound of Music Live, I went into this really wanting it to be great, because I LOVE that NBC is building an event around earnest musical theater on this national scale, and I would love for it to survive as an annual tradition. But I just didn't think this was a very good production, and it's not because I'm a Hater or anything so trendily tossed-around as that. It's partly the performances, and partly a huge realization that I had just recently: Peter Pan itself isn't very good. In fact, like Peter itself, once you grow up you simply can't look at it the same way.
But first, I need to point out something from the poster, which is that Allison Williams as a boy is basically actor Armie Hammer. Exhibit A:
Within the last year, I got excited to show my kids the Disney Peter Pan because I remember — in that vague, gauzy way — that I adored it in my own youth. I also couldn't have told you the last time I actually SAW it, though, and as we sat down to watch, I was reminded of a few unpleasant things. One, that it's so slow. Glacially slow. It makes global warming feel like a 100-yard dash. There is SO MUCH blah-blah, and then suddenly you're in Neverland and then the second thing rears its head: HOLY GOD THE RACISM. NBC hired a Native American consultant who helped them reshape the songs for Tiger Lily and her friends, who are still tribal (though with a Polynesian flair, whether or not that was intentional) but are no longer treated as stereotypes. Smart of them to deal with that head-on instead of taking a Dan Snyder/Washington Football Team approach.
So through adult eyes, it struck me how basically this is a story about a weird old dude who's hot for murdering children, and a woman who has a terrible adventure with a manchild and then willingly pimps out her own daughter (and, in her professed fantasy, generations of her female progeny) to the same manchild. It's… not great, Bob. As an adult it's hard to — as Allison Williams asked — put in your childhood eyeballs and see it that way, and even if we tried, we'd have been bored by the half-hour-plus it took to even GET to the damn flying.
I've not seen the musical itself (or if I have, it was a long time ago), so I don't know if the stage show suffers the same way this did. Peter Pan Live never gets any momentum, even from the few performances that have zip, which I blame in part on the decision to spread it across three hours – granted, it IS long — and pepper it with all those commercial breaks (a business necessity, but still). Worse, this means the plot stops making sense. What you can track doesn't really hit you, and what you can't is usually because lines were delivered in a throwaway manner or trims made it suffer. They heavily edited down Tinkerbell, in a way that gave her character little point and no endearing nor enduring value. She's just a twinkly device who sounded like an iPhone. Tiger Lily doesn't connect, either, and in the end the only emotional moment that hits is when Wendy and her mother wistfully sing an unwitting duet about missing each other. And although Allison Williams has a lovely voice and does fine in a REALLY technically challenging role for which I applaud her moxie, she lacks the boyish charisma and charm to play a kid who could win the hearts of all and sundry and have them literally follow him to the ends of the earth (and into battle, and nearly down the plank). When her Peter sings "I Gotta Crow" about how awesome he is, all you think is, "Oh, pipe down, Pan, you inflated blouse."
In fact, the completely spaced-out stylings of Christopher Walken are what saved it. He HIMSELF sleepwalks through half his scenes, but the result is the only part of the production that has any compelling entertainment value. It's the only part that moves. I had to watch this entire sucker three times – once live, once to get screen grabs, and then because the beans caught me grabbing a photo and made me start at the beginning – and by the end of the final pass, I was actually grateful to Walken for bringing such a completely random, fluctuating, and indiscriminate amount of cowbell to his scenes. Sometimes it's tons, sometimes it's none, sometimes it's in the middle, but the mystery as to what you'll get certainly keeps your attention. Fug Husband Kevin told me that he read once about how Christopher Walken takes every script he gets and re-punctuates it to infuse it with maximum Essence of Walken, and I COMPLETELY believe that here in this particularly batshit clip from the end (no ads, I promise):

What makes Crazy Stupid Love a cut above is actors who let pain seep into the laughs. Here's a comedy you really can take to heart. show more
Men will watch Crazy, Stupid, Love thinking they're finding out things about women, but if anything, this movie works the other way. Women will get a glimpse into the male mind. show more
Sometimes Crazy, Stupid, Love captures the complexity, humor and sweetness of relationships. But in several scenes, the film takes that insight and replaces it with farcical coincidences and strained scenarios that undercut the poignancy and wit. show more

This is one of those movies where everything comes together in the end and it\'s got one of the best climax scenes I\'ve seen. Reminded me of City Island.

Klyuchevskaya Volcano
The Klyuchevskaya Volcano on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula continued its ongoing activity by releasing another plume on May 24, 2007. The same day, the MODIS on NASA's Terra satellite captured this image, at 01:00 UTC.
In this image, a hotspot marks the volcano's summit. Outlined in red, the hotspot indicates where MODIS detected unusually warm surface temperatures. Blowing southward from the summit is the plume, which casts its shadow on the clouds below. Near the summit, the plume appears gray, and it lightens toward the south.
With an altitude of 4,835 meters (15,863 feet), Klyuchevskaya (sometimes spelled Klyuchevskoy or Kliuchevskoi) is both the highest and most active volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula. As part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire," the peninsula experiences regular seismic activity as the Pacific Plate slides below other tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Klyuchevskaya is estimated to have experienced more than 100 flank eruptions in the past 3,000 years. Since its formation 6,000 years ago, the volcano has seen few periods of inactivity.

Golf Pride personalized grips
Web site: http://www.golfpride.com/grips/personalized.aspx
MSRP: Starting at $59.99 per kit
Trust us on this one: Your golf clubs need new grips. They're usually the most overlooked part of any amateur's equipment, but you can't swing the club right without being able to hold on the proper way. For years, the foremost excuse for neglecting grips was that it was simply too costly and painstaking to lug the entire set to the nearest pro shop and have 'em all redone. Enter the newest product from Golf Pride, which not only leaves the process in your hands, but personalizes the experience as well. This kit supplies 13 grips with your name, nickname, company or, well, anything you'd like embedded into them, while also allowing for everything you need to do the job at home. With four models available (Tour Wrap, Tour Velvet, DD2 and New Decade MultiCompound) there's now no excuse to keep those old grips -- you know, the ones that came with your set and are indistinguishable from everyone else's -- lingering on each club in the bag.
Nike Golf Victory Red forged wedge
Web site: http://www.nike.com/nikegolf/victoryred/
His ball nestled in the greenside rough on the 17th hole at Torrey Pines' South Course during the third round of the U.S. Open, Tiger Woods stood over the shot, swung and watched it take one bounce and hop right into the cup -- part of a six-hole stretch that could be considered one of the greatest rallies of his career. His weapon of choice on that shot? None other than a brand new Victory Red 60-degree wedge. Featuring high rev grooves, 1025 forged carbon steel, versatile heel grind, CNC-milled face and Victory Red grip, the club helped launch Woods' historic run at a 14th major championship title. OK, so it may not do the same for you, but if the Victory wedge means even a minor victory in your pursuit of golf success, isn't it worth adding to your arsenal?
"2008-2011 Golf Rules Quick Reference" by Yves C. Ton-That
Web site: www.golfrulesmadeeasy.com
If your opponent hits a tee shot from in front of the given markers on a hole, it's a two-stroke penalty ... uh, right? If he accidentally hits the ball during a practice swing, there's no penalty stroke ... or is there? Wonder no more. Golf isn't just a game of rules, it's a game of Rules -- and unless you're a USGA official, it's tough to remember 'em all. Enter this 48-page pocket-sized book, complete with 170 illustrations -- one for every listed scenario. It's idiot-proof, too. With eight color-coded tabs, it won't take 30 minutes to figure out the proper ruling on the course. More good news: This guide's high-gloss finish ensures it is still valuable for weather-infused rounds. So leave that guessing game to the other foursomes on the course. Playing by the rules has never been this easy.
adidas TOUR360 3.0 golf shoes
Web site: http://www.adidasgolf.com/tour360-3/
We could tell you how these shoes feature a 360WRAP that helps secure upper stability with a glove-like fit and increased leverage, or how the external molded heel cup enhances power transfer to the pedals with secure heel-fit systems, or how the revolutionary THiNTech TPU exoskeleton provides unrivaled stability, response, feedback and power. Or we could just tell you that the latest version of the TOUR360 is the coolest-looking golf shoe on the market. Let the technology mavens at adidas golf worry about how it works. All you need to know is that these recent breakthroughs do work -- in terms of comfort, feel and style.
The Dipper golf ball retriever
Web site: www.dippergolf.com
MSRP: $12.95 each
There is no place for pessimism in golf. As one ancient proverb states, "Man with extra ball in pocket is destined to lose first ball." Of course, that doesn't mean you can't be prepared for the worst, either. Nothing says, "I'm not very confident in my abilities" like an oversized ball retriever protruding from your bag, so instead clip on The Dipper -- a seven-inch, three-ounce gadget that snaps onto the end of your club's shaft and extends to over 12 inches. From there, just dip the club into whatever hazard your ball mistakenly found and -- voila! -- the potentially irretrievable orb is yours once again. Best of all, with such a compact device, optimism always reigns supreme.
LIJA women's clothing line
Web site: http://www.lijastyle.com/
MSRP: Polos from $65; outerwear from $135
You're either a woman, you know a woman or you enjoy dressing like a ... well, let's just stick to the first two. The new LIJA line by designer Linda Hipp features nearly 200 pieces, giving any woman a variety of styles for on the course or off. Inspired by "the glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age and American spirit of the 1950s," this collection is highlighted by such diverse colors as "daiquiri" and "espresso." And here's a tip for the fellas out there: If you want your wife or girlfriend to join you on the links, you've got a better chance if she has something nice to wear for the occasion. With these duds from LIJA, she may never want to leave.
TaylorMade MyTP golf balls
Web site: http://www.taylormadegolf.com/category.asp?catID=62
MSRP: $39.99/dozen (three dozen minimum)
What number is on your golf ball? No longer must we rely on the randomness of whichever one falls out of the sleeve -- it's now a matter of choice. From Sergio Garcia (who plays "00" because "I think it's cool and I like the way it looks on the ball," he said) to Justin Rose ("99" since his wife's lucky number is nine and he's hoping for twice the luck), pros and amateurs alike are choosing more non-traditional numerals for their pellets, thanks to TaylorMade's MyTP program. Whether it's a birthday, anniversary or -- like El Nino -- you just think a certain number is cool, the company is currently taking custom orders for any double-digit numeral your heart desires, ensuring you'll never be a slave to the sleeve again.
Bushnell Tour V2 rangefinder
Web site: www.bushnellgolf.com
Bad news, big hitters: According to the Tour V2 manual, "The maximum distance for most objects is 600 yards." Of course, for those of us mortals who max out at, oh, 599 or less on our drives, this rangefinder is more accurate than any marked sprinkler head and quicker than any caddie. Don't believe us? Ask the pros, as studies have shown that 93 percent of PGA Tour, LPGA and Champions Tour players prefer Bushnell products when preparing for competitive rounds. Using "PinSeeker" technology and various other unique characteristics, the Tour V2 will never leave you wondering about a yardage distance again.
Q-Link bracelets and pendants
Web site: www.qlinkgolf.com
MSRP: Bracelets from $129.95; pendants from $99.95
More than ever, it's becoming difficult to find a tour pro who doesn't regularly wear a bracelet or pendant (hanging on a necklace) -- and more often than not, these are Q-Link products. Since the line by Clarus was first introduced on tour in 1999, more than 350 players worldwide have been first-hand witnesses to the game-enhancing benefits of SRT-3 technology. Studies have shown these benefits include greater energy and stamina, increased ability to focus under pressure, enhanced feeling of calm, reduction in symptoms of the yips, faster recovery from bad shots and fewer first-tee jitters. If none of those applies to you, well, congrats. For the rest of us, it's time to check out Q-Link's line of three bracelets and three pendants.
Piretti fine putters
Web site: http://www.pirettigolf.com/putters.html
There are putters ... and then there are "fine" putters. Consider the Piretti line in the latter category. In a sport fueled by luxury, these flatsticks -- milled from carbon steel or stainless steel, depending on the model -- are akin to ordering the filet mignon over the top sirloin. Started by two friends just over a year ago, the Piretti company doesn't boast a large variety of options, but what they do produce, they produce better than most. The most appealing part is that each putter has a personalized feel, as customers can choose length, grip and paint fill, with each one made to those specifications. And, hey, there's an out clause, too: If you're unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, return it within 30 days for either a full refund or exchange. Sounds like a win-win proposition to us.

I listen to "Cosmic Love" by Florence + The Machine multiple times a day because I've adopted it as the theme song for my WIP.
Great song choice! :)
As I´ve mentioned before, I write in the train. In order to really concentrate on my story, I usually listen to music. Once I have my ipod in my ears, I´m in "the zone".
These days, I always listen at least once to the following song "Life is sweet" by Natalie Merchant. It gives me the chills and I always picture my main character sobbing as I listen to it, but also trying to find hope somewhere, anywhere.
Tell me, which song do you listen to almost daily?
I listen to "Cosmic Love" by Florence + The Machine multiple times a day because I've adopted it as the theme song for my WIP.
Great song choice! :)
Haha! Like Stephanie, I'm pretty big on "Cosmic Love" by Florence + the Machine, and it's also on my WiP's playlist. :) "The Walk" by Imogen Heap is another on the list. "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons is a recent fave (it's from THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER movie trailer). Basically, I listen to way too much music and many of them on repeat. :) I should send you my playlist sometime. :D
Well the song I have listened to the most on my iTunes is "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!" by Sufjan Stevens…312 times! For the WIP I just finished it was "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles or "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak, but for my new one that I've just started thinking about it's already "Twice" by Little Dragon. I love posts like this :)

28 year old woman | Tulsa, OK, USA | Seeking men 18-30 within 50 miles
Active within 1 week
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain!
I'm very easy going and am up for just about anything within in reason. I've been described as sweet and tenderhearted. Honestly, I'm really just looking for someone who will treat me the way that a woman should be treated. I'm tired of the games and just want someone to spend some time with. If you're looking for just something physical keep looking because I'm not the girl for you. Now a little more about myself. I received my B.S. In Psychology in May 09' and currently am a full-time grad student working on my Master's in Occupational Therapy. I'm very motivated and goal-oriented and desire to be a succesful woman. I'm passionate about helping others and have a big heart. I currently attend Lifechurch which I LOVE and am searching for a Godly man. I'm actively involved in a running group which I attend several times a week and recently just completed my first marathon. I by no means require a runner, but if you are it could be a fun and healthy hobby to do together! I love spending time with my family and have started cooking as a hobby. I love children and want a family, but am by no means looking to start one soon. That will come after I've completed my Master's program and can financially support myself. I'm not high maintenance but I definitely don't neglect the joys of being a woman. When in a relationship I'm very devoted and doting toward my significant other but also believe in doing things for yourself and spending time with your friends. I by no means expect a guy to give up the things he loves to spend ALL of his time with me, and I of course would expect the same. I'm a tall woman at just a hair under 6 foot. So if you're a guy who's self-conscious about dating a taller girl I may not be of interest to you. I myself do not mind a dating someone shorter than myself although I do prefer someone taller. But anyway, if you're interested in genuinely good company and a meeting a real woman, then I would love to hear from you :)
Coffee and conversation , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Video games , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Cats
I like Birds, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
I love animals. I'm honestly more of a dog person but own a siamese cat (which I love) since a dog just doesn't fit into my busy life style now.
I enjoy Mcnellies, attending Lifechurch and their events, and running on Riverside or downtown when I'm not with my running group.
I love all kinds of music ranging from rock, alternative, rap and classical. I don't watch much tv but when I do I like watching, How I met your Mother, Family Guy, Weeds, Dexter, True Blood and Scrubs. And Asian food is definitely my dish of choice!
Hunger games, Life of Pi and various other textbooks I'm forced to read :)

December 30, 1899
If you are actively teaching college-level courses and are receptive to recommending academic credit for learning in an extra-institutional setting, we invite you to join our pool of faculty evaluators. Program benefits include:
Here's what some of our current evaluators have to say about their experiences.
"Serving as a faculty evaluator for the American Council on Education (ACE) is both an honor and a privilege. As someone who personally benefited from ACE recommendations as a young Sailor, I was compelled to serve. Upon completing my first review, I was overwhelmed with the professionalism, academic rigor and high ethical standards of an ACE review team. The credit recommendations derived from an ACE review are critically reviewed and measured against the same standards expected from accredited learning institutions across the country. Working in a team with other professors from colleges and universities across the nation benefited my professional development in seeing how new courses and programs are being developed (and offered-many n a blended learning environment) to answer the needs of the public and private sectors. It is a great networking opportunity. As I participated in more reviews I enjoyed seeing how organizations improve both their academic materials and learning assessments over the years to parallel courses provide by learning institutions; some of which surpass requirements for college courses I have developed and teach for the American Military University. I strongly urge any professor to heed the call if the ACE team requests his/her time. ACE participation should be on every college professors bucket list!"
Robert Dawkins, Associate Professor, American Military University
"I feel privileged and honored to be a part of the American Council on Education (ACE) knowing that the work we do as evaluators will help our military with access opportunities to higher education. My years of association with ACE have allowed me to better understand the sacrifices of our military and to also see first-hand the excellence in training our armed forces provide. Bridging the gap between the military training and the world of civilian higher education has also provided me the opportunity to work with excellent (ex-military and non-military) members of academia from around the country. The high academic standards set out by ACE and the help and coordination provided by their excellent professional staff makes the entire evaluation process a most rewarding experience."
Juan Henriquez, Director of Academic Computing, University of New Orleans
"After signing up to be a faculty evaluator in 2010, I did not know what to expect on my first review, but I was definitely surprised at how much I learned from my team, which consisted of faculty members from schools of varied sizes, concentrations, and geographic locations. We were a "team" from the moment we shook hands, we got to know each other during 2 days of sharing insights into how our respective schools would rate the curriculum, and several of us parted on the second day as friends I still stay in touch with on a regular basis. I have enjoyed the process so much over the past 3 years that I am now a national coordinator for ACE - leading the faculty teams.
I believe that any faculty member can benefit from being part of an ACE team, and ACE provides a unique opportunity to fully utilize your training as an educator and professional, and you will also learn ways to facilitate the academic initiatives at your place of work. Also important for me is that I know I am making a real contribution to the quality of education that our business and military leaders receive, and for any instructor who has witnessed a student have a "Eureka!" moment - that is what it often feels like to work on an ACE review."
Brien Walton, Instructor, University of California - Berkeley
"Being a ACE faculty evaluator for military programs is a rewarding endeavor especially when I see how it helps the service members further their education I also get to work with faculty members from around the country."
George Boulware, Distinguished Professor of Business Administration, Lipscomb University
"As an ACE reviewer, I have had the pleasure of working with interdisciplinary experts who challenge me to be a better educator. It provides me with additional experience in adult learning evaluation and this has changed the way I work with and assess adult learners. I particularly enjoy working on military evaluations. It is an honor to review the high-level education our men and women in the military receive and it is a joy to be able to do something to help them when they leave the service."
Dawn Garzon, Professor of Nursing, University of Missouri- St. Louis
