50 things to do in the Twin Cities before you die

By CP Staff
Still, you would be very wrong.
You would know you're wrong if you'd been packed into a cave in St. Paul two weeks ago at 2:30 a.m. with nearly a thousand revelers, as a group of local and international DJs hammered the crowd with rolling, abstract jungle beats. Or if you turned up at any of the mega-parties hosted by DJ ESP (a.k.a. Woody McBride) that pump techno through arena-size sound systems in close warehouse spaces. Or if you slipped into an armchair with the new CD by Uptown residents Sukpatch on your headphones, wondering about the connection between breakbeat DJing, the Beach Boys, and heavy cannabis use.
The local electronic underground is not underground solely by choice. With a core audience between 16 and 20 years old and a zeitgeist that has little to do with alcohol, it is mostly shunned by club owners--especially on weekends, when liquor sales dictate programming. And as with rock & roll in its early years, mainstream fearmongering has made the music an even greater pariah. Techno parties and raves "have a reputation for being big drug orgies," as a local daily recently put it. And hip hop--the original DJ music--is still stigmatized by its association with fan violence and gangsta culture.
Still, the music has managed to thrive locally, as the artists profiled below can attest. And it's worth noting that techno, like house, is music born in Middle America (Detroit and Chicago, respectively). The current Twin Cities scene can also trace its roots back to local industrial artists of the '80s (see sidebar), as well as Prince's early experiments with drum-machine-driven funk. With modern electronic musicians suddenly getting attention as the Next Big Thing, it remains to be seen how much of a mainstream impact Twin Cities artists will make. In the meantime we can enjoy the sounds, and look forward to saying we knew 'em when...

March begins Multiple Sclerosis awareness month. For those living with MS, support groups are a lifeline to other individuals who understand the difficulties the disease presents. Family, friends and those who have MS, met Friday at the Education Room of North Mississippi Medical Center to show their support for the upcoming MS Walk, April 5 in Starkville.
West Point Police Department investigators don't catch a break. Investigators are following up leads on several burglary cases dating back to Feb. 24.
At about 9:30 a.m. Feb. 24, WPPD officers were dispatched to the 700 block of Grove Street in reference to a possible auto burglary.
The owner of the vehicle, according to West Point Chief of Investigations Albert Lee, reported her wallet had been stolen.
At some point between 6 p.m. Thursday and 5 a.m. Friday, according to a press release provided by the Clay County Sheriff's Department, unknown suspect(s) made their way to the Yokohama Tire Manufacturing Plant site on the east side of Clay County and allegedly made off with construction materials.

On Feb. 18, 1861, Jefferson Davis stood on the steps of the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery, Ala., and took an oath to serve as president of the confederate states.
It's a story with which most have at least some familiarity. However, according to Bertram Hayes-Davis, Jefferson Davis' great-great-grandson and executive director of Beauvoir and the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library in Biloxi, there is so much more of Jefferson Davis' story to be told.

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party General Secretary Arun Jaitley has been given charge of the Gujarat assembly elections scheduled later this year.
In the party it is seen as a clear signal that the central leadership will in no way annoy Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the run-up to the Assembly polls despite the growing number of party legislators in Gujarat joining the dissidents.
Even before Party President Rajnath Singh's announcement here on Friday that Mr. Jaitley will be put in charge of Gujarat elections, senior party leaders were saying that nothing would be done against the wishes of Mr. Modi although earlier Mr. Singh had dropped Mr. Modi from the party's highest decision making body, the Parliamentary Board.
The important position of heading the BJP's foreign affairs committee for the neighbouring countries has gone to former External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha, while the party committee on economic affairs will be led by Murli Manohar Joshi.
Neither Mr. Sinha nor Mr. Joshi are members of the powerful Advani camp in the party.

Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Denise Very comfortable These shoes have been comfortable from the start. I would have said they were comfortable straight out of the box, but the one big surprise was that there was no shoe box! That's right, the shoes came shipped in an inner plastic bag and an outer plastic shipping bag with no box. I thought this was strange, but other than that, the shoes have been perfect for me. I always buy Saucony because they fit my feet so well. I have a fairly large bunion on one foot, and this shoe doesn't rub it or irritate it in any way. I run quite a bit, and these shoes are very supportive without feeling stiff or hard. In fact, I feel like I'm running in my slippers - that's how comfy they are. August 29, 2014

Peter Halliday Dies Aged 87
It saddens me to say that we've lost another Doctor Who vetran. Peter Halliday passed way on the 19th of February. It's taken a while for the information to filter out, Peter for most shall be remembered as the unfortunate, violence happy Packer in The Invasion along side Patrick Troughton and Kevin Stoney. But it was not to be his only role, he also did voices for The Silurians and Ambassadors of Death in Jon Pertwee's 1st full Season. Then going on to star as Plectrac in Carnival of Monsters.
Later he appeared along side Tom Baker in the City of Death, as a soldier, and finally along side Sylvester McCoy in Remembrance of the Daleks as the Vicar in the closing moments of Episode 4.

Doctor Who Lost and Found: Two Missing Episodes Recovered!
It is the season of giving and for Doctor Who fans such as ourselves, we have been given a wonderful gift, news of two previously missing episodes which have been recovered! Two classic episodes from the 1960s include one from the William Hartnell era, Episode 3 of Galaxy 4 and from the Patrick Troughton era, Episode 2 of The Underwater Menace were found.
Both were in the collection of one Terry Burnett who had purchased them in the early 1980s and was not aware he had them.
Until now, all four episodes of Galaxy 4 were considered lost. The recovered The Underwater Menace episode originates from Australia's ABC channel which had been censored for broadcast there. The missing bits will be restored to the episode via scans made of them from the National Archives of Australia.
Expect information about a forthcoming DVD release from 2 Entertain sometime in 2012.
There are still missing episodes... Are you a film collector? Please what are you waiting for, check your attic and crawl spaces! What exactly is in that film canister you bought decades ago stored away somewhere? We have to find these lost treasures.
Happy Birthday, Waris Hussein
Waris Hussein, the first director of Doctor Who (he had directed An Unearthly Child back in 1963) turned 73 today. Though you would never guess it if you spent some time with him as he comes across as someone much younger. We had the honour and privilege of spending a little time with him in Los Angeles last February when we introduced him as our special surprise guest in our Doctor Who: Podshock live show on stage at Gallifrey One. He is charming and intelligent.
A couple weeks ago for the 48th anniversary of Doctor Who I once again watched An Unearthly Child (Part One) as I do traditionally on the anniversary. Despite its age, it never gets old.
Happy Birthday, Waris!
Matt Smith on the Christmas Special [VIDEO]

BBC Points of View About DW Confidential
There were some rumours that a finished version or almost finished version of Doctor Who Confidential exsisted. On last nights Viewer comments Programme "Points of View" these rumours were put to rest.
Moffat: "There are No Developed Plans" to Bring Doctor Who to the Big Screen Currently
To follow up on our panel discussion about the possibility of a Doctor Who feature movie in Doctor Who: Podshock 261, Executive Producer and Lead Writer, Steven Moffat has responded to the David Yates comments about bringing Doctor Who to the big screen. He dismissed Yates comments as speaking off the cuff on the red carpet. He also agreed with my assertion that if a feature movie is produced, it should star the current actor playing the Doctor and it would not be a "Hollywood reboot."

NORFOLK A Norfolk woman says Al Gore's book on global warming isn't appropriate reading for fourth graders.
The book, An Inconvenient Truth, is on the Norfolk Public Schools' recommended summerreading list for fourth graders.
'It shows the different things in the planet erupting and visual disturbances in the book itself. I have skimmed through it, there are frightening things in there. His whole point to that book is to shock people,' says Laura Brown.
Also are the list are more standard fare like Matilda or The American Girl.
School officials say the list of books is just a suggestion as recommended by the American Library System.
Board vice chair Karen Squires Jones says she has no problem with Gore's book, but says it's likely better material for high school students.
She also believessome people are opposed to Goreandhis viewpoints so they won't see his book as being factual.
In England, the High Court ruled the film, which won two Academy Awards, could be sent and used inschools - if accompanied by guidance giving the other side of the argument.
Parents can fill out a form challenging instructional materials.

Ryan also said that only some of the drivers are full-time employees of the district.
The next budget presentation of the night was for the Operations and Maintenance Department, for which Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Stephen Benedict called for a proposed $6,003,970 budget for 2009-2010, representing a 1.32 percent increase over last year's $5,925,493 budget.
During Benedict's presentation, he explained several maintenance projects that the district hopes to achieve with the budget, ranging from minor repairs, like repainting bus lines, to building a handi-capped-accessible bathroom at the district office and placing elevators in district buildings.
Benedict outlined specific building repairs by building, the more costly projects including roof repairs districtwide ($18,000), replacing worn stair treads at the high school ($21,000), upgrading the first floor faculty bathroom at Lisha Kill Elementary School ($18,000) and sanding and refinishing the wrestling gym and Forum stage at Sand Creek Middle School ($14,000).
Benedict also spoke of an ongoing project to replace the window shades in all of the district's buildings to more energy-efficient shades that keep the heat outside of the classroom in warm-weather temperature and keep the cold air out during cold-weather temperatures.
Benedict asked for a $15,000 increase over last year's $120,000 communication budget. He said being able to communicate throughout the district is very important to the job functions of the Operations and Maintenance Department, and the costs of doing so have increased over the last few years. This includes mobile and non-mobile telephone costs.
"Most of the peak [hours] are during our school hours," he said.
The final presentation was delivered by Principal of the Central Avenue Learning Center and Administrator of the Capital District Juvenile Secure Detention Facility Randy Rench, who asked for the biggest percentage increase, calling for $456,567 " a 9.41 percent increase over last year's budget of $417,288.

Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
I wonder if the time of the season really affects the flight of the ball. Gullyfoil has done a bang-up job, maybe he can check out the months. Marth and Joe and George always mention that the balls travel further when the heat and humidity rise, which seems counter-intuitive to me.
By the way, before Colorado had a team, Atlanta's old ball park was always mentioned as the homerun park, mostly because it was the highest elevation. Is that still holding true for the new park?
by the way, how do you add rep points? I can't find a link.
The statement regarding Wrigley begs the question as to the reliability of the Park Factors. How can Wrigley be less of a launching pad but for improved pitching? There have been no configuration changes, so that only leaves a meterological explanation, such as the wind doesn't blow out like it used to. In short, it would seem that the above statement would have nothing to do with the ballpark.And Wrigley is still the best NL home run park east of the Rockies, although it's not the launching pad it once was or, indeed, that its cross-town rival U.S. Cellular is now.

Congrats, Less than 24 hours and 5 posts on the board and you are setting at 115 pts. Over half way to ORG status!!! That's impressive. (but one has to wonder of the merits of the system, when someone can climb the ladder that fast. )
I heard candlesticks make a nice gift
I thought league average bullpen arms looked better than this
Now 118 pts. Do I hear 128?

I would agree, that this is a strange statement. As Garrett mentioned, it would be very interesting if there was a way to correlate weather trends with park factor... maybe there has been a change in winds, etc... or maybe he just misspoke... but there does seem to be a lot of variance in this stat.

better hitters park: Jacobs Field or GABP?

Pakistan has reportedly refused to extend visas of two Indian journalists for their alleged 'unfriendly activities' in the country. Snehesh Alex Philip of the Press Trust of India (PTI) and Meena Menon of The Hindu, based in Islamabad, were officially asked to leave the country by May 20.
According to the Express Tribune, the PTI correspondent confirmed that the Pakistani government had sent them a letter stating that their visas were only valid till May 20, 2014. Snehesh added that Pakistan gave no reason for the decision. However, a senior foreign office official said the two Indian journalists were asked to leave Pakistan after their activities were found 'incompatible to their professional mandate', the report said. He added that Pakistan was ready to issue visas to replace the 'expelled' journalists.
Meanwhile, India, in a strong reaction, termed the expulsion of the journalists as 'regrettable and unfortunate'.

From the Publisher"A personal and inspiring account of the higher possibilities of sleep and dreams by an acknowledged master. Must reading for dreamers in search of awakening."—Stephen LaBerge, PhD, director of the Lucidity Institute and author of Lucid Dreaming
"Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche is one of the greatest Tibetan meditation masters and scholars teaching in the West today. His luminous Dream Yoga teachings are invaluable for anyone interested in Buddhist practices and views on dreaming and the afterlife. These profound and liberating wisdom teachings from the ancient Dzogchen tradition of Tibet provide new perspectives on this life, on the nature of reality, and on the nature of consciousness and mind. I myself read this book with great interest and recommend it to my own students."—Lama Surya Das, founder of the Dzogchen Foundation and author of Awakening the Buddha
"The new edition is sufficiently different from the already pivotal previous version to warrant purchasing it and working seriously with its contents. In the current edition, Rinpoche, who has had clear abilities in dream practices since his youth, expands his initial commentary on the 'practice of the night' with more specific explanations drawn from an intimate and detailed Dzogchen manuscript he has been writing for many years."—The Mirror
"Provides a valuable practice to help calm the mind in lucid dreaming states so that we can truly deepen our awareness. Dream Yoga is not just about awakening in the dream state, but also bringing it together with our non-dream awareness as well."—Nate DeMontigny, Precious Metal

This VIP tour was outstanding. Having the Ledge to myself without the crowds was great and the tour guides who led the trolley tour and Chicago River tour were entertaining and knowledgeable.
This was great tour .it is really worth to buy .
This trip was amazing. Especially our boat tour guide. He had a remarkable amount of detail all memorized. I wish we coudl get a print out of his talk so we could remember the informaiton.
This tour was amazing!

It was a great way to see Chicago when you're there for a limited time. Very disorganized at the beginning of the tour as we were told the General admission entrance to Sears Tower so got limited time up the top. Traditional trolley was cool and river cruise was lovely.
Didn't like it a t all
The tour guide did not give me a Skydeck bag and bottled water. The trolley driver gave in to the request of one of the tourists to stop by his hotel so he can grab his jacket. And stopped by a pharmacy so a tourist can grab ice for her pinched fingers. An hour was wasted because of these!

The New York Assembly has once more passed the Dream Act, but the measure's fate remains uncertain in the Senate.
The bill would extend state financial aid to students in the country illegally.
The Assembly passed the measure in February, only to see it go down in defeat in the Senate. The Assembly passed it again on Monday.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver urged opponents in the Senate to reconsider and said there's still time for the bill to pass before lawmakers adjourn later this month. He says students who would benefit from the proposal can't wait until next year.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo supports the measure and vowed over the weekend to help get it passed.

Emerging Statewide Campaign Issue: Stopping State Spending Spree Building New Facilities Obligating Grassroot Taxpayers to Repay Bond Loans Without Constitutionally Required Voter Approval Or Competitive Bids.
Despite objections expressed by thousands of grassroot taxpayers to all candidates for Governor, Lt. Gov., Attorney General, Secretary of State and 16 State Senators and State Representatives (and their opponents) currently on the Joint State-House Capital Outlay Committee, Gov. Engler has notified legislative leaders he still wants "approval" to begin construction without competitive bidding of a $300 million new high rise headquarters building for the State Police and National Guard on a flood plain near the Capitol before he leaves office December 31 this year.
Without disclosure required by Michigan's Open Meetings Act, Gov. Engler wants to increase taxes $300 million and obligate future grassroot taxpayers to pay back the borrowed money in the form of bonds he wants to issue.
Dick Headlee has written politicians of his concern that "certain elected officials are actively seeking to circumvent the Constitutional protections of the 1978 Headlee Tax Limitation Amendment by financially obligating future State Government Administrations and citizens of Michigan with sizeable implied full-faith bonded indebtedness without public debate, without competitive bidding, and without a vote of the people".
"Both Republicans and Democrats are engaging in creative financing similar to Enron and CMS Energy Corp.(largest state-regulated utility) by trying to keep honest accounting of such illegal taxing and spending off the books and not annually reported in Total State Revenues", noted Bill McMaster, state chairman of Taxpayers United. An overlooked part of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's Aug. 28, 2002 MEMO RE: DETROIT COORDINATED CAMPAIGN to Democratic Party Nominee for Governor Jennifer Granholm reveals "To the victors go the spoils" thinking:
..."This is a commitment that we as leaders from the city of Detroit are making to the Democratic ticket -- but we expect the same in return ..."A commitment to the city from the state in the form of government facilities located in the city, any new construction of government buildings need to happen in Detroit, and more state contracts need to be granted to Detroit based, minority owned businesses."
As the former leader of the Democratic Party in the Michigan House of Representatives, Kilpatrick has unclean hands from his role with the Engler Administration violating our Michigan Constitution by borrowing $398 million in bonds to refurbish the former General Motors Headquarters Building on Grand Blvd. in Detroit to more suitably house 2,500 state employees; by pledging the full faith and credit of Michigan citizens statewide to borrow an additional $800 million to be spent by the Detroit Metro Airport Authority that is controlled by the same corrupt public officials that obligated statewide taxpayers to repay $1.1 billion in illegally issued bonds just three years ago that are now headed for default, and by encouraging no-bid contracts and unlawful borrowings to pay for gross mismanagement of the Detroit Water & Sewerage Authority by encouraging unchecked exploitation of Detroit and suburban homeowners.
Taxpayers United is anxiously awaiting return of three-question questionnaires sent to political candidates who, if elected, will take an oath to abide by the will of the people expressed in our Michigan Constitution. The questionnaires seek "Yes" or "No" signed response from each candidate declaring his/her position on construction of Engler's proposed State Police/Military Affairs Building in downtown Lansing.
Unlike their opponents, some incumbent politicians are reluctant to answer in time for Taxpayers United to "widely disseminate the answers to our members and to the media and voters throughout your District " (or "our State").
Others, like Melvin Butch Hollowell, Democratic Candidate for Michigan Secretary of State wrote back: "We have been obligated to restrict our response to only those groups specifically aligned with the Secretary of State Office."
Hollowell is unsuccessfully trying to evade an important campaign issue by expressing ignorance that taxpayers pay the Secretary of State, as a member of the Executive Branch of Government, to represent them by fulfilling Constitutional as well as statutory duties on the State Administrative Board, and by maintaining many of the most important records of state and local government including state statutes and commercial financing statements.
The CATO INSTITUTE in Washington D.C. stated in a published state-by-state comparison of Total State Revenues: "Gov. Engler has been on a spending spree for years".
Thomas Clay, senior research associate with the nonpartisan Citizens Research Council of Michigan, concluded in a recent report:
"Both major state funds -- the General Fund and the School Aid Fund -- have very large operating deficits. That's something that state officials cannot legally allow to happen. Michigan's Constitution requires that the budget be balanced. So state officials have only two choices: Find some way to get more revenue, which means raising taxes, or make cuts."
The U.S. Census Bureau issued figures this month ranking Michigan the second highest tax Great Lakes State. High spending by Michigan state government is pushing taxes ever higher in comparison to both neighboring states and all other states.
David Littmann, Ph.D. chief economist for Comerica Bank in Detroit concluded earlier this month:
"State spending is a key determinant of how well a state will do economically. State spending must be supported by state taxes, and the greater the government spending, the less is available for the saving or investment or private spending that generates economic growth and more jobs. "Michigan's total personal income has been below the national average for some time. This is attributable to the state's continuing spending burden."
"Gov. Engler expects legislators to disregard Constitutional constraints during the Lame Duck Session in November and December in order for him to continue Michigan's bi-partisan spending spree, and to break ground on the State Police/National Guard Headquarters Building before year-end despite the State having at least a $1.5 billion deficit," McMaster said.
"If we can't get elected officials to comply with our Constitutional right to vote on ambush bonds before the State issues them, which are tax hikes, we'll seek remedy in the courts. Taxpayers United's lawsuit against the State of Michigan will be activated in Ingham County Court Judge James Giddings' courtroom immediately after Engler finagles a majority vote out of the Joint Senate-House Capital Outlay Committee.
"And we'll find some way to punish politicians who take special interest campaign contributions in exchange for votes to continue Michigan's spending spree on borrowed money when the State is already hopelessly in debt," McMaster concluded. "Grassroot taxpayers will not allow bribery to be inbred in Michigan politics."
Taxpayers United was founded in 1976 and is today Michigan's most effective non-partisan, non-profit, statewide grassroot taxpayer organization.

There was satisfaction on one side and tears and dismay on the other as convicted murderer Lawrence Slaughter was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for his part in a robbery that led to an elderly woman's death.
Slaughter, 29, looked to the audience section after Judge Thomas S. Clark pronounced sentence Monday morning. One woman dropped her head to her knees as others cried.
A jury found Slaughter guilty April 18 of murder, robbery and participating in a criminal street gang in connection with the death of 71-year-old Guadalupe Ramos. Police said co-defendant Christopher Patterson knocked Ramos down as he snatched a necklace from her, then ran to a car where Slaughter and third defendant Maxamillon McDonald were waiting.
Ramos died of cardiac arrest due to an irregular heartbeat brought on by blunt force trauma.
Before imposing sentence, Clark said he believed that Slaughter didn't expect Ramos to die, nor did the others involved in the crime. The law makes it clear, however, that intent doesn't matter in cases like this.
"When engaged in violent crime and acting in concert with others, that risk is assumed," Clark said.
Ramos' daughter, Natalie Ramos, said she's satisfied with the sentence and can finally start to get some closure.
"One down, two to go," Ramos said of the other defendants.
Olivia Haywood, Slaughter's mother, said she feels bad about what happened to Guadalupe Ramos, but her son wasn't a part of it.
"My son had no knowledge of what (Patterson) was going to do," she said.
Continuance denied
Slaughter's attorney, Frank Butkiewicz, argued for a continuance because he believed Patterson might be willing to testify that Slaughter had nothing to do with the robbery. Butkiewicz said he'd received two letters last week that were supposedly written by Patterson, and that if he testified it could be grounds for a motion for a new trial.
Prosecutor Eric Smith said no credence should be given to Patterson or to the letters.
Clark reviewed the letters and admitted them into evidence. He noted the first letter was not signed or dated, and that the second had Patterson's name printed on it but nothing indicating that Patterson would be willing to testify.
The judge denied the continuance and proceeded with sentencing.
Police have said Guadalupe Ramos was walking with relatives when she was knocked down by Patterson Aug. 19 outside the Foods Co. market on Haley Street.
McDonald was found guilty of murder and robbery and is scheduled to be sentenced June 13, and a pre-preliminary hearing for Patterson is set for May 21.

Per Andrew Gross, the Rangers are getting back their leading scorer (well, not including Martin St. Louis) tonight, as Mats Zuccarello will be rejoining the lineup after suffering a broken hand in the Olympics. Zuccarello missed Norway's final game in Sochi and the first five games since the break. Zucc will likely rejoin linemates Benoit Pouliot and Derick Brassard on the third line.
Derek Dorsett, who was the only forward at the optional skate this morning, will likely sit.

Curricular reforms under Karl Compton and Vannevar Bush in the 1930s re-emphasized basic scientific research. MIT was elected to the Association of American Universities in 1934. Researchers were involved in efforts to develop computers, radar, and inertial guidance in connection with defense research during World War II and the Cold War. In the past 60 years, MIT's educational disciplines have expanded beyond the physical sciences and engineering into fields such as biology, economics, linguistics, political science, and management. MIT received 17,909 applicants for the class of 2015, with only 1,742 offered admittance, an acceptance rate of 9.7%. It employs around 1,000 faculty members. 77 Nobel laureates, 52 National Medal of Science recipients, 45 Rhodes Scholars, and 38 MacArthur Fellows are currently or have previously been affiliated with the university. MIT has a strong entrepreneurial culture. The aggregated revenues of companies founded by MIT alumni would rank as the eleventh-largest economy in the world.

university of cambridge
The University of Cambridge is a public research university in Cambridge, England. It is the second-oldest university in both England and the English-speaking world, and the seventh-oldest globally. In post-nominals the university's name is abbreviated as Cantab, a shortened form of Cantabrigiensis (an adjective derived from Cantabrigia, the Latinised form of Cambridge). The university grew out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was formed in 1209, early records suggest, by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute with townsfolk. The two "ancient universities" have many common features and are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge. In addition to cultural and practical associations as a historic part of British society, they have a long history of rivalry with each other. Academically Cambridge ranks as one of the top universities in the world: first in the world in both the 2010 and 2011QS World University Rankings, sixth in the world in the 2010-2011 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and fifth in the world (and first in Europe) in the 2010 Academic Ranking of World Universities.

A major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment during the 18th century, from the 19th century it became a pioneer in British higher education by providing for the educational needs of students from the growing urban and commercial classes, as opposed to the upper class. Glasgow served these students by preparing them for professions outwith commerce - the law, medicine, teaching, and the church. It also trained smaller numbers for careers in science and engineering. More recently it was the Sunday Times "Scottish University of the Year" for 2007 and the university is currently a member of the Russell Group and of Universitas 21.

Generals slip past hard-luck Blazers
Emilio Aguinaldo College pounced on St. Benilde's endgame collapse to escape with a 73-72 victory last night in the NCAA basketball tournament at Filoil Flying V Arena.
With the clock winding down, sophomore guard John Tayongtong stole off Luis Sinco and emerged hero when he was fouled and sealed the Generals' first win of the season after back-to-back losses with a free throw, 5.5 seconds left.
It was another heartbreaker for the Blazers, who also paid dearly for a late defensive lapse against defending champion San Beda in the season opener.
The Blazers again had victory within grasp after leading by double digits midway in the fourth before losing their touch, allowing the Generals to spring back to life.
Tayongtong joined forces with Igee King and Jan Jamon as the Generals erased a 12-point deficit and the Blazers went scoreless in the last four minutes.
Still, the Blazers had several chances to clinch victory after Jamon's short jumper made it 71-72 entering the final two minutes.
Jeffrey Ongteco was slapped with an offensive foul, Travis Jonson missed a triple and the Generals forced the Blazers into commiting an eight-second violation.
But it was Mark Romero's miscue that proved the costliest. Romero collared the rebound with 10.8 seconds left but lost possession to Noube Happi, who was fouled.
Happi, suffering from a sprained right knee, split his charities to knot the count and set up the wild finish.
Sinco dribbled to the left flank in the next play and got bottled up by the Generals, allowing Tayongtong to pry the ball loose in a turnover that led to a foul.
"I know John (Tayongtong) can deliver," said EAC coach Gerry Esplana. "This is his breakout performance following two unforgettable games."
In juniors play, the San Beda Red Cubs dumped the Arellano Braves, 108-51, while the San Sebastian Staglets subdued the Letran Squires, 75-61, to improve their records to 3-0. CSB-La Salle Green Hills routed the EAC Brigadiers, 88-49, for its first victory following a defeat.
The seniors scores
First Game
EAC 73—Tayongtong 16, King 16, Happi 14, Jamon 13, Paguia 8, Arquero 4, Castro 2, Hiola 0, Munsayac 0, Morada 0.
ST. BENILDE 72—Taha 17, Romero 16, Sinco 14, Ongteco 9, Grey 8, Deles 4, Bartolo 2, Carlos 2, Jonson 0, Saavedra 0, Garcia 0.
Quarters: 27-16; 31-38; 57-61; 73-72

New SDPD chief optimistic, driven
Shelley Zimmerman's rise marked by a passion for helping others
Shelley has a wry sense of humor and an appreciation for the absurd and has always been something of a prankster, according to family members. They, in turn, still rib her sometimes about the time she worked undercover as a prostitute. They find it funny because she never wears makeup.
Her brother Bud, a cardiologist, started an exercise program for police and firefighters in New York, inspired, he said, by his sister's career and her own passion for fitness. She's done triathlons and long bicycle rides, often as fundraisers for charities.
According to her family, Zimmerman made a decision early on that the only marriage for her would be to her job. She knew the stress that life-threatening law-enforcement work puts on relationships and families. She'd seen the heartbreak and loss. And she knew she expected and wanted to work long hours.
"She's never done things halfway," her mom said, "and I think she just knew that being married and having kids wouldn't be fair to anybody."
Darin Andersen, a local cybersecurity business executive who knows Zimmerman from the Police Foundation and from cycling with her, said the dedication to her work stems not from her own ego, from any desire to climb a ladder, but from wanting to make a difference.
"When you talk to her peers, there's just tremendous respect for her work ethic, for her vision, for her decision-making," he said. "She got the chief's job because she deserves it. She is a leader who lots of people want to follow."
Her appointment is on the City Council agenda for Tuesday. If approved, she would become not only San Diego's first female chief but the only female chief currently serving in any of America's top ten cities.
Shelley Zimmerman
Age: 54
Hometown: Cleveland
Education: Bachelor's in criminal justice from Ohio State University; graduate of the National FBI Academy
Career: Hired by SDPD in 1982. Assignments include patrol, vice, narcotics, internal affairs, multicultural community relations and mayoral protection.

Wordless Wednesday: Love At First Sight!

Apparently, it is believed that Blogger does not support animated GIF images. This belief is correct to some extent. However, as you can see from this post "Wordless Wednesday: Height of Automation", you definitely can insert an animated GIF image into a Blogger post.
The statement that 'Blogger does not support animated images' only means to say that the WYSIWYG editor of Blogger does not support such images. In other words, if you try to upload an animated GIF image in your blog post though Blogger's Post Editor, the GIF file is converted automatically into a static PNG file during the upload process.
So how does one add an animated GIF into a Blogger post? Very simple really.
That's it. You will see the animated GIF image in your Blogger Post Editor now. Mine shows this black cat, deep in thought, strolling across the width of the 'Compose' box.
Here's more in "Wordless Wednesday"!
I haven't updated this space for pretty long now, have I? Those Wordless Wednesday posts were also scheduled in advance, in fact, and they were "posting" themselves on their own! I think there is one more scheduled for the coming Wednesday...
Anyways, I have been real busy lately... working on several projects at once. I'm kinda "off-the-radar" at the moment, but will soon be visible again... hopefully in one more month at the most.

I figured since the blog readership has already been restricted to select no-nonsense readers, I can safely re-enable the comments feature here.
Further, I have no intention to promote or propagate about any particular political party, religion, race, creed, caste or sex through the expressions in my blog. I am tolerant of all. However, I may, from time-to-time, mark certain things noteworthy, or un-noteworthy, about the various happenings around me; which, again will be solely based upon my perception and will, in all probability, keep changing from time-to-time.
Lastly, I have no wish to slander anyone's name, reputation or goodwill in this world. I respect all; and therefore request all to please understand that any offense caused by any of my posts here is totally unintentional and merely due to the limited scope of my perspective.

The most recent draft of the Austrian Budget Accompanying Act of 2014 (Budgetbegleitgesetz, BudBG 2014) provides for, inter alia, a calculation basis for the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) in compliance with the Austrian federal constitution as from 1 June 2014. The main issues of the intended new regulation are presented in the following:
Background -
Austrian RETT is basically based on the consideration paid to acquire real property. In case of gratuitous transfers, the tax basis currently amounts to the value of the real property. The value of a real property is therefore essential especially in connection with donations, inheritances or in the case of sale of shares in real property companies. The value of a real property in the meaning of the provisions of the Austrian Real Estate Transfer Tax Act (Grunderwerbsteuergesetz, GrEStG) is yet not the market value, but the - one fold or threefold - so-called standard tax value (Einheitswert) which is usually much lower than the fair market value (usually between 0.1% and 10% of the fair market value).

The USTA rating system and self-rated players
View Single Post
Join Date: Jan 2006
Posts: 171
The USTA computer system is a joke. The system is even more exaggerated in mixed where the computer has an even harder time crunching the different ratings between men and women.
There also seems to be a log jam in the 4.0 rating. Our 4.0 team had 5 players with a combined 1 loss. 3 of these got bumped up at the ESR to 4.5. But one player who got bumped last year at the ESR only to get moved back down at the YER went 11-1 with only one three set match and stayed a 4.0. I was 9-0 with a couple three setters, but the rest were straight set blowouts of good to decent 4.0 opponants and I didn't get bumped at the ESR. At the same time there was a huge influx of 4.0 ESR's from the 3.5 local league. Including one guy that was a self rated 3.5 who went 1-2 and got bumped to 4.0 . So basically we have way more people getting bumped to 4.0 than are getting bumped to 4.5, its like a giant 4.0 vacuum.
We still have districts, so this could very well change at the year end rating with a good showing there but I could not imagine playing 4.0 again next year. There are enough sandbagging/ringer comments this year and honestly this 4.0 season was a bit boring and each win became more of a relief than excitement because you know you shouldn't lose.
Oh well, enough with my almost daily rant of how bad the rating system is...
