Behind Assi Helani is a great woman: his wife Colette!
Behind every great man there's a fabulous woman, and in the case of Lebanese singer Assi Helani, it's his wife Colette.
Colette told Sayidaty.net that her and Assi are very close and she knows what makes him happy and what makes him mad.
Apparently, she has a say in every detail of his singing career. She said: "Of course I interfere in everything he does, but only to a tolerable extent. At the end of the day, Assi makes the final decision."
The nosy wifey said that although she's a very curious and pushy person who has to give Assi career advice on what suits him and what doesn't, he's free to make his own decisions - as long as she has her say in them, of course!
Pushy she may be, but certainly not jealous, as Assi's music videos are never short of hot women!
But how does Assi feel about all this? Colette says that Assi likes to consult her in particular before taking any new steps in his career. Well, whatever turns you on guys!
Mrs. Helani said that she believes a couple need to discuss absolutely everything in their lives, and that an argument between her and Assi usually lasts for no longer than two hours.

Ashley (Club Member) stayed May 2015 This review is for Alton, The Star We booked to stay here so we could visit Alton Towers theme park. It is only a 5 minute drive and very easy to get to. We had a pitch which overlooked the play area which was just perfect for us. It's a very large play area, with a good variety of well maintained play equipment. The facilities were clean. The only improvements that could have been made would be having shower curtains to prevent the spray from the shower from splashing clothes etc and opening the indoor dishwashing facilities during inclement weather - the main dishwashing facilities are undercover but outside, but the weather during the weekend we stayed made washing up a chilly venture - still, it's all part of the camping experience, isn't it? Watch out when finding the site, the sat nav wants to take you down a countrylane to your destination, but a local resident has kindly put a sign telling you to ignore the sat nav and carry on- we should have listened to the sign and ignored the sat nav - but nevertheless we found it shortly afterwards. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Would definitely return.

Florida Police Arrest Inebriated Horse Rider
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene. After a few drinks, Charles Cowart decided to relieve himself in public. Police were called, and Cowart fled, galloping through a Florida town, snarling traffic and forcing a train to be stopped when he ventured onto the railroad tracks. Why was it so hard for the cops to catch up with him? Well, he was on horseback. Cowart's mounted escapade ended when back-up arrived. His dad. His father knocked him off the horse and police took him into custody. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Some of the posts in a recent thread mention that mildly or moderately gifted kids may do just fine in public schools, while profoundly gifted kids may find it a struggle to get what they need there. So, how do you determine to what level your child is gifted? I know Hoagies has a descriptive list, but it seems really vague to me. Also, if it's based on test scores, and kids are either too young to be tested or just haven't been for whatever reason, how would you know if they were mildly gifted or profoundly gifted? If level of giftedness could be used to choose early school placement, it would be nice to know.
ETA : maybe it wasn't hoagies? ruf's level has the vague description maybe?
Life is strange and wonderful. Me , DP , DS (3/09) , 3 and 4
I don't know, but that is a good question.
When you google it, your thread is already #3!!!! Here you go:

I'm going to differ from most in the gifted community and say that I don't think the differences between mildly, moderate and highly gifted are that marked. Firstly because it's all a continum. The person at the high end of one range is more closley related to the person at the low end of the next range then they are to the people at the low end of their own range. I also just really don't think that any testing is accurate enough to really differentiate between the ranges of gifted. Once your are reaching the 95% of a population and above it just gets so hard to be pin point accurate.
I think the differences have more to do with personality and interpersonal differences. I think that a person who doesn't fit is more likely to be labeled as highly gifted. But I don't think it is a simple matter of intellect.
It is supposed to be based on test scores. I have some issues with this topic. 10-years-ago, you very rarely heard of a profoundly gifted child let alone met one. The term was reserved for 10-year-olds at the university and the like. In the last few years, suddenly you hear it all the time. It could be due to the SBV and latest WISC. The general cut-off for gifted moved from 130 to 120 and the HG/PG numbers greatly compressed. I feel bad sometimes because I'll be listening to someone talk about their profoundly gifted child and I'm thinking "really?" PG just doesn't seem to look like it used to look. I'm not suggesting they're lying. I just never would consider my own kids PG and yet they are often years ahead of tested PG kids we've met.
My kids were tested in school at the 99.9th percentile. I take it with a grain of salt because the measure used is not the greatest. This does qualify my DD for the HG program in her high school. My DS's GATE program doesn't differentiate. 98th percentil and higher is just considered gifted.
Level of giftedness is only part of the picture when finding an educational fit. Personality, drive, exposure, opportunity, social awareness, all sorts of things influence how a child works in school. I've met tested MG kids who don't fit AT ALL in school. I've met kids with PG scores who do well with no agressive accomodation.
Married mom of two, DD 17 and DS 14.
I think the differences have more to do with personality and interpersonal differences. I think that a person who doesn't fit is more likely to be labeled as highly gifted. But I don't think it is a simple matter of intellect.
I agree with this. Though I think that a kid who tests PG surely is, I wonder about making bright lines when you get over that 99th percentile.
DD tested MG (as to whether the test was "right"--I don't know, as it was only a half-hour test, and she scored very highly on 3 subtests and average on the other), but her personality is such that regular school has not been a great fit. Her brother certainly also seems very bright, but he is a really different personality and I suspect he might do fine in a less specialized environment.
grateful mother to DD, 1/04, and DS, 2/08
agreed. I've had people make comments about exactly how gifted one of my children ISN'T because she does really well social -- she easily accommodates herself to others. Part of it is her personally and part of it is no doubt because she has a special needs sister. She's still wicked smart.
I think that the list of personality traits tied to levels of giftedness lead to people trying to assign labels to kids by watching them -- which is just silly. It also sometimes causes parents to not want to work through their children's social problems because they believe the problems are a sign of brilliance. (which is pretty twisted when you think about it)
As far as "how do you know when you child is really little" -- you don't. It's a really small thing to live with. My other child has special needs and I constantly have to repeat to parents on the special needs board that part of having special needs child is making peace with the not knowing. For school things, just make the best choices you can for now. Sometimes I think the reason that my *just* gifted DD does as well as she does emotional (as well as intellectually) is because life could never revolve around her and how smart she is.
but everything has pros and cons
I would guess that your family situation has helped her in some ways, but in another universe I think you could easily have had a SN kid AND a GT kid who was having a lot of trouble. DD and DS both have had some serious health scares such that we were very preoccupied with that for long periods, but DD's personality didn't change as a result of that, YK? Instead it was like "Agh--on top of this much more important worry with X, we still have all this other stuff with DD butting in when we really don't have the time to deal with it." Also, there was a lot of "Why is DD acting like this? Is it the 5 meds she is on? Is it because she feels like crap from coughing/fatigue/allergies? Is she ASD? Is she just smart and quirky? Do we just suck as parents??"
grateful mother to DD, 1/04, and DS, 2/08
I would guess that your family situation has helped her in some ways, but in another universe I think you could easily have had a SN kid AND a GT kid who was having a lot of trouble.
I haven't "easily handled" raising my children. I have asked, lots of times, if I just suck as a parent.

Hi all,
Are Yithian effects that trigger from the discard pile considered in play (on the table)? Or do they trigger and resolve from the discard pile?
Snow Graves:
"Cards cannot be moved out of attached discard pile for any reason."
My understanding is I can't trigger Interstellar Migration, as the cost of the effect is putting the card on the bottom of the deck.
But what about Lost Oracle? Her ability seems to be able to be triggered purely from the discard pile.
Yithian Scout would be similar. It looks like his ability can trigger, but Snow Graves would prevent him coming back onto the table.
Is my reasoning correct?

Canning Basin
The Canning Basin is a geological basin located in Western Australia.
The Basin covers approximately (506,000 km²) of which approximately (430,000 km²) is on land.[1]
It has been recognised as having prospective oil and gas capacity [2] and has been studied extensively:[3][4] - and at June 2003 - 250 wells have been drilled and 78,000 km of seismic shot.[1]
The basin is also a distinct physiographic province of the larger West Australian Shield division.
It has a number of sub basins - the Fitzroy Trough-Gregory Sub-basin complex, the Willara Sub-basin, and the Kidson Sub-basin complex.[1]
The Canning Basin is home to a Devonian fossil reef complex that stretches 350 km across the northern edge of the basin. The fossil reef is very well preserved and is cut by several modern canyons, including Geikie Gorge and Windjana Gorge.[5]

Meet wants to spread free software movement among students
"Free and open software inevitable for e-governance initiatives"
CHENNAI: Techies advocating free software on Sunday issued a rallying call to expand the "digital freedom struggle" as they celebrated the anniversary of the GNU/Linux project launched in 1984.
The convention of freedom and software, hosted by the Free Software Foundation of India, Tamil Nadu chapter, took note of a suggestion to chalk out a plan to spread the free software movement among engineering students in southern States, school students and rural masses.
The Linux user group of Chennai, led by M. Ramadoss. also launched "Kattatra Menporul" (Free Software), a Tamil publication that embodies the philosophy of free software spearhead Richard Stallman and provides localised versions of standard Linux desktop environments.
West Bengal IT Minister Debes Das said free and open software was the inevitable choice for governments planning to implement e-governance initiatives that penetrated to the panchayat level.
Compared with proprietary software which was costly to install and entailed further expenses on upgrades, free software was cost-effective, secure and hardy while being open to customisation.
Pointing to the poor record of indigenous software development in India, Mr. Das said the West Bengal government was developing a local language e-governance software.
Prabhir Purkayastha, secretary, Delhi Science Forum, said a regime of software patents could pose a grave threat to indigenous software development in a country like India.
In essence, patenting software was to own a piece of algorithm, he said, and that amounted to patenting the fundamental math.
For the U.S., software patenting had compensated for dwindling revenue from a weakening manufacturing sector, he said.
The patenting regime was dominated by a form of lifelong royalty levy in which software was equated with any other artifact—one could patent just about anything: from a single-click buying business method to drop-boxes on a website. "India should avoid the mistakes of the U.S."
Kiran Chandra, director, Free Software Foundation, said the essence of the free software movement enshrined the fundamental freedom to use, study, copy, modify and redistribute any computer programme.
Mr. Chandra urged the Linux developer community to spread the movement to the common man because the technology had to touch the lives of the masses.
He called upon the 3 million-strong community in India to scale up their contribution to the free software movement from the current negligible levels.

Fleet Miranda (Light Cruiser)

The Saber replaced the Miranda.
Back during TOS the Miranda was a front line cruiser of the day similar to the galaxy/Nebula comparison.
During TNG the Miranda was reduce from long range exploration and tactical missions to more shorter range patrol/escort and science missions within the federation borders. It's role has changed over time.
The Saber was designed to do these missions but of course received better weapons and technology. I'm sure there are still some Mirandas flying around somewhere but not given the same important missions it once was.
As for the defiant it's tiny. Smaller than the Saber and smaller than Miranda. It's a powerful engine surrounded by weapons, armor and shields. Very little scientific research equipment on board. The Saber and the Nova were now more routinely assigned to these missions more and more as the Miranda class is being phased out. The Intrepid class took more long range scientific and tactical missions but by this time Galaxy's and Nebula's were filling this role. Intrepid class was to compliment the flagships without needing as many resources and crew to man. It had the same Mk X phasers the galaxy had.
Starfleet was working on the Akira, Nova, Saber, Steamrunner even before the borg threat. The Defiant, Sovereign and Promethious were direct results of the borg threat. Now the previous mentioned were constructed to modernize the fleet and were given more offensive and defensive capabilities than originally envisioned bc of the borg, dominion etc

Violinist and composer David Balakrishnan, founding member of the Turtle Island String Quartet, has the ability to integrate classical string tradition with American folk, jazz, and Indian classical music in his compositions, breaking the boundaries of the traditional string quartet- and chamber music in general. While collaborating with the Ying Quartet on a mixed-genre album titled 4 + four, Balakrishnan wrote Mara's Garden of False Delights- a refreshing and vivid depiction of Hindu philosophy and different states of being- which we hear tonight. Also, music of Tyondai Braxton and Min Xiao-Fen.

THR's Berlin Actors Roundtable
The talent gathered for The Hollywood Reporter's Berlin Actors Roundtable are certainly not reluctant to take a walk on the wild side at this year's Berlinale.
Peter Sarsgaard, 41, is a brutal pimp porn husband in Lovelace; Fallon Goodson, 27, plays James Franco's unstable sister in Maladies; Melanie Laurent, 29, and Jack Huston, 30, are doomed lovers in Bille August's literary adaptation Night Train to Lisbon; and newcomer Mikkel Boe Folsgaard, 28, the Danish Shooting Star in Berlin this year, won the Berlinale's best actor Silver Bear in 2012 for his first movie role as a mad king in the Oscar-nominated A Royal Affair.
They sat down together for a spirited discussion in the Club Room of Berlin's VIP hangout the SoHo House, in which Sarsgaard gave up-and-coming actors this advice: "It's awful. God. Do something else if you can!"
THR: When you get a script, are you ever scared that you won't be able to deliver?
Fallon Goodson: That's the fun part! At the beginning. The way I work is I do a ton of background. I write an autobiography of my character, and that's the moment when I feel I can let everything go and just see what comes out.
Peter Sarsgaard: You don't get nervous when you act?
Goodson: No, I think it's — I don't know, this is gonna sound real weird, but it's a kind of walking around with like your clothes off all of a sudden. It's like you just get to be someone else, and it's fun.
Mikkel Boe Folsgaard: I am nervous before and after shooting, not during.
Jack Huston: I am nervous all the time. At all moments. I think I've always got a fear. I think it's a fear about oneself, that you always think you could do better.
Sarsgaard: And if you're not nervous, then you're nervous that you're not nervous.
Melanie Laurent: I know that feeling. I remember one day I was on a shoot and I turned on the radio and someone said, "Someone who is not nervous has no talent!" and I was like: "Oh, shit! I am never nervous, maybe I'm just a bullshit actor." …When I was onstage for the first time in my life, I was petrified for three days, and then nothing! I arrived at the theatre five minutes before the show and everybody was already there, and I was like [whistles]. I remember thinking: "That's not normal. I should be nervous."
THR: What has been your worst experience with a director?
Sarsgaard: Oh, god! I have had so many. You know, honestly, at least half of the time I feel like it's all crap. I thought that before, and then people have liked the movie. But it doesn't make me like the movie any more. If the making of it was not a good experience, I don't care how much people like the movie. It's like a lover I can't love. My favorite movie I ever did is a movie that nobody but me likes: The Dying Gaul. It's a movie that I think like four people saw, and they didn't like it. But I loved the movie; I loved every day doing it. I did it with Campbell Scott and Patricia Clarkson. It was really fun.
THR: Mikkel, you were cast in A Royal Affair while you were still in acting school in Denmark. What was your first day like?
Folsgaard: I was so nervous, because I thought: "They have made a mistake! The director has chosen me, and it was a mistake." I almost went down and knocked on his door and said: "Choose someone else! I can't do it." But I started walking around with my headphones, listening to heavy metal: "You can do it! You can do it, Mikkel!" Then the first day on the set they said "Roll!" and my heart started pumping … and then I was OK. When I actually got started, it was not so difficult.
Laurent: I can't believe that was your first movie!
THR: What about the others' first times? Can you remember that moment?
Huston: On the set, yeah. Oh, man, I was the worst. I think I did my first movie with Alan Bates and some other incredible people, and I had so say something about goats or something. These guys are just going at it and being great, and I have come in with this goat line: "The goat's on fire!" or something like that. I remember I just said it, and then it was "I am so sorry!" But later you realize that sometimes that's the hardest thing — the smaller bits, the smaller scenes.
THR: How do you choose your roles?

Bergeron likes what he sees from Seguin
|09.20.10 at 1:42 pm ET
The Bruins featured a very interesting line Monday in Patrice Bergeron centering Tyler Seguin and Mark Recchi. For Seguin, who played both wings in the day's black/white scrimmage, he gets an opportunity to play alongside a future Hall of Famer in Recchi and someone who knows what it's like to make an impact in their rookie year in Bergeron. A key contributor to the team since making the Bruins in the 2003-04 season, Bergeron knows what it's like to be teamed with players he looked up to early on.
"My first scrimmage was pretty amazing," Bergeron said after the scrimmage. "It was [Sergei] Samsonov and Glen Murray, so they made it pretty easy for me, to be honest."
The three players seemed to make things easy for one another in Monday's scrimmage, with Seguin feeding Bergeron on the white squad's only goal. Consider Bergeron impressed.
"The first shift, we both thought we were in the middle, but then we figured it out and it was good. He's always well-positioned and he has that good speed so that helps him a lot."

NKorea may see few buyers despite rocket success
But the screw has tightened since North Korea's last nuclear test in 2009. Its weapons exports have been banned under U.N. Security Council resolutions. The sanctions call on member states to inspect and confiscate suspect cargoes, also including certain luxury goods, and report them to the world body.
The United States is also likely to seek tighter restrictions on the North after the latest launch, although it could face opposition from China, the North's only major ally.
Former British ambassador to North Korea, John Everard, who until recently served as coordinator of a U.N. panel of experts that reports on the implementation of the sanctions, said that while the North's arms exports haven't stopped, seizures have already caused it considerable financial and reputational damage, particularly when information about their customers becomes public.
But implementation has been patchy. The North goes to great lengths to circumvent controls, typically using neighboring China and other countries en route as transshipment points.
Tracking secret weapons shipments is difficult, but some trends emerge. Recent seizures indicate that North Korea is still shipping missile technology to Syria.
Last month, U.N. diplomats reported that 445 graphite cylinders from North Korea that can be used to produce ballistic missiles were seized in May from a Chinese freighter ship at the South Korean port of Busan on their way to Syria. In October 2007, propellant blocks that could be used to power Scud missile were seized from a ship heading to Syria, according to a report by the U.N. expert panel, released this June.
Iran and North Korea have shared missile technology, but it's less clear what the current state of their cooperation is, said a senior State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatically sensitive, counter-proliferation issues.
In December 2009, Thailand intercepted a charter jet from Pyongyang carrying 35 tons of conventional weapons including surface-to-air missiles that Thai authorities reported were headed for Iran — apparently for the use of a proxy militant group. The White House recently remarked on how Thailand had interdicted a North Korean weapons shipment bound for Hamas.
The U.S. official said North Korea is seeking buyers for its cheap weapons in Africa. In recent years, there have been seizures of shipments heading to countries including Eritrea, Republic of Congo and Burundi.
But combined with its shrinking markets in the Middle East, Myanmar's promise to end its military trade could badly hit North Korea's pocket book.
Myanmar's former ruling junta entered into commercial contracts with North Korea, most notably after a high-level military delegation visited Pyongyang in late 2008. According to the U.S., one agreement was for North Korea to assist Myanmar in building medium-range, liquid-fueled ballistic missiles.
In recent months, the United States has credited Myanmar with "positive steps" toward severing those military ties as the newly elected civilian government courts better relations and investment from the West.
But the U.S. official said Myanmar is not yet in compliance with U.N. Security Council resolutions, as North Korea still seeks to ship goods to Myanmar to fulfill the contracts.
Pennington reported from Washington.

Insurance hinders New Orleans recovery
By Janet Guttsman
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) – Nervous insurers are steering clear
of hurricane-hit New Orleans, posing new problems as people
here try to rebuild or relocate.
Almost three months after Hurricane Katrina damaged tens of
thousands of homes, insurance companies worry about safety,
regulations and future risk. Existing homeowners argue about
payouts, and would-be buyers struggle to find any insurance at
"We were ready to sign a contract on a house, but we can't
get insurance," said Steve, whose company is moving him to New
Orleans and who asked Reuters not to use his second name. "I'm
baffled why the real estate companies still show houses."
It is generally impossible to get a mortgage on a house
without insurance.
"There are only a few companies that are writing policies
right now, and everything is running slowly," realtor Muffin
Labourisse, whose company is still showing and selling houses,
said of the city's post-hurricane real estate reality.
The storm tore roofs off buildings, blew out windows and
ripped the frontage off homes and offices.
But it also punctured flood protection levees and left vast
areas under up to 10 feet of water. Hundreds of thousands of
people left town and many have not returned, either because
their jobs disappeared, or because they have nowhere to live.
For insurers that means huge uncertainty. Allstate Corp.,
for example, said last month it would cut its exposure to
property in hurricane-prone states because it couldn't "price
insurance properly."
"Some (insurance) companies are only writing for current
customers if they are moving, others are not writing at all.
There are so many areas that are so badly damaged that nobody
wants to insure there, because there is no guarantee what is
going to happen next hurricane season, or next time there is a
big storm," Labourisse said.
The Insurance Information Institute, a leading U.S.
insurance industry group, expects some 1.6 million claims worth
a total of $40 billion from Katrina.
That's almost twice the $21 billion (in today's dollars)
caused by Hurricane Andrew more than a decade ago and does not
include several billion dollars for damaged offshore energy
facilities or $25 billion in federally funded flood insurance,
said Robert Hartwig, the institute's chief economist.
It meant insurance costs would rise, he added.
"The city of New Orleans is not prepared to withstand
another event like this in the future," he said.
"We know that the levees can be breached, and we know that
the level of fire and police protection in these communities is
not what it once used to be. All of that factors into the
riskiness associated with insuring a home."
John Marlow, of the American Insurance Association in
Austin, Texas, said he was worried legislators would react to
the storm by introducing rules that could make Louisiana a more
difficult place to operate in.
"It's been a slowly improving scenario, providing home
owners with greater competition and better rates," he said.
"But they need to stay on that track rather than revert back to
an overregulated and burdensome system that drove insurers away
from the state 10 years ago."
But Marlow said he was encouraged by new building codes
introduced this week in a special session of the state
"That's going to go a long way toward spurring
redevelopment and building properties that will withstand
similar events in the future to a greater degree," he said of
the codes, which aim to ensure that homes in hurricane-prone
areas in the south of the state are built to withstand winds of
130 to 150 miles an hour.
"That's a good move and sends a good message to the
insurance community that when things are rebuilt and
redeveloped they will be safer and will be able to withstand
storms in the future."

Jacob Two-Two
Makes a comeback, courtesy of another Canadian
Though he's been dead for eight years, Canadian writer Mordecai Richler is coming back to life—sort of—this fall. Jacob Two-Two on the High Seas, the fourth installment in Richler's wildly successful kids' series about a boy who has to repeat himself in order to be heard above the din of his large family, hits bookstores in September. The catch? Richler didn't write it. Novelist Cary Fagan did.
According to Publishers Weekly, Richler, the author of such adult classics as The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, started thinking about a fourth adventure in the series before he fell ill in 2001 (his initial idea for the fourth book, revolving around a stolen Stanley Cup, was nixed for its unlikely appeal beyond hockey-mad Canada). After his death, his family told his publisher, Tundra, they wanted the series to continue and Tundra set out to find a suitable writer. Fagan, who similarly writes fiction for adults and children said at first he "was a bit flabbergasted by the proposal, and unnerved and excited.… Richler is, in Canada, a very big figure. And for a writer who is Jewish, like me, he looms even larger."
Meantime, filming has begun on an adaptation of Barney's Version, Richler's final novel, about a man with Alzheimer's; it stars Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman.

UK's Largest Aircraft Carrier To Be Unveiled Next Month
A new aircraft carrier — the largest warship ever constructed for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy — will be officially named in a special ceremony on July 4. Queen Elizabeth II will be on hand to christen the aircraft carrier, which will be named in her honor. According to the U.K.'s Ministry of Defence HMS Queen Elizabeth ushers in a new class of aircraft carrier for the Royal Navy. In a statement, defense officials said "The carriers will be versatile enough to be used across the full spectrum of military activity from war fighting to providing humanitarian aid and disaster relief." The new Queen Elizabeth-class warships will each weigh more than 71 thousand tons and will be capable of deploying the next-generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Lightning II jets, which are designed to take off from short runways and land vertically.

The couple have known each other for 10 years, dating on and off for five.

Former 'X Factor' Contestant Sues, Says Audition was "Altered"
A former contestant on the singing competition show The X Factor claims in a new lawsuit her failed audition particularly stung because she didn't deserve it. In a complaint filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Sally Hessnice, who auditioned for the show in front of a live audience in May 2013, says the producers of the series manipulated the recording of her performance to depict her poorly. She's suing the production companies , but not the networks ITV (in Britain) or Fox, which aired her audition in the U.S. in September 2013. Her complaint says that her voice was altered to sound screechy and unprofessional, the positive audience reaction was replaced with footage of an uninterested one, and the judge's original comments were re-filmed to show a negative response.

Safety Reviews Ahead for Ruptured Oil Pipeline in California
Officials said Owners of an oil pipeline that burst in California this week must take corrective measures including a review of what might have caused the failure before they can restart the line. Word of the action came as Santa Barbara County's district attorney, Joyce Dudley, said she was consulting with federal and state prosecutors on the potential for bringing a criminal or civil case against the pipeline company. The company declined to comment. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration official Linda Daugherty said The US Transportation agency generally issues corrective action orders for serious pipeline spills when the cause is unclear, as is the case in California. According to the agency, about 1,700 to 2,500 barrels of crude petroleum gushed onto San Refugio State Beach and into the Pacific Ocean about 20 miles west of Santa Barbara when the underground pipeline ruptured on Tuesday.

Children's minister Edward Timpson agreed, saying Councils should join forces to match children and families far quicker. But the Local Government Associationsaid councils were already working together on adoption. Official figures suggest more than 3,000 children already put forward by local authorities for adoption are waiting to be matched with parents.

Recent legislation has expanded the obligations for employers under New York City's new Earned Sick Time Act (the "Act"), which takes effect on April 1, 2014. The revised Act requires that all employers with at least five employees, and all employers of at least one domestic worker, must provide paid sick time to their employees. All other employees are entitled to unpaid sick leave without penalty under the Act.
Available Time Off
Employees will be entitled to a minimum of one hour of sick time for every thirty hours worked, up to forty hours of sick time in a calendar year. An employee will be entitled to begin using sick time on the 120th calendar day following the first day of employment or on the 120th day following the effective date of the Act (July 31, 2014), whichever is later.
Eligible Use of Sick Leave
Under the Act, sick time may be used to care for an employee's own health needs or to care for a family member (an employee's child, spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling, grandchild or grandparent, or the child or parent of an employee's spouse or domestic partner).
Sick time may also be applied when schools or businesses are closed due to a public health emergency.
Employee Notice and Documentation
An employer may require reasonable notice of planned use of sick time and, similarly, may require an employee to provide notice of unforeseeable use of sick time as soon as practicable.
When an employee is absent for more than three consecutive work days, an employer may demand reasonable documentation that the time off was used for a purpose covered under the Act. A note signed by a licensed health care provider indicating the need for the sick time taken is considered reasonable. An employer may not demand documentation specifying the nature of the employee or relative's injury, illness or condition unless otherwise required by law.
The employer may not require an employee taking covered sick time to find a replacement worker as a precondition to taking the legally protected sick leave.
Employers may discipline employees who attempt to use sick time for improper absences not linked to the covered health needs of the employee or a relative.
The Department of Consumer Affairs is charged with enforcement of the Act. Employers are required to retain records documenting their compliance with the Act for three years.
Complaints may be filed alleging violations of the Act for up to two years following a violation.
Employers who were not originally required to provide paid sick time under the Act, i.e., those with fewer than twenty employees, have a grace period for violations until October 1, 2014. The grace period does not apply to employers of domestic employees.

How to Become an Oil & Gas Accountant
Learn how to become an oil and gas accountant. Research the education requirements, licensure information and experience required for starting a career in industry accounting.
Do I Want to Be an Oil and Gas Accountant?
Accountants review financial records, analyze spending habits, and suggest ways to increase revenue. There are several types of accountants, including management accountants and certified public accountants (CPAs). Businesses hire management accountants to deal with internal financial decisions and budgeting concerns. Organizations hire CPAs to prepare taxes or other financial documents that must be reported to government agencies. Since oil and gas industries have to submit a lot of paperwork to government authorities, they might hire management accountants who are also licensed CPAs.
The majority of accountants work in office settings, and a few work from their homes. Accounting work can be stressful, and depending on the time of year, it can be very fast-paced. Accountants generally work independently, and they might be required to travel some to oil and gas extraction or refinery locations. Almost all accountants work on a full-time basis with overtime common during tax season.
Job Requirements
Basic career requirements for becoming a CPA include completing a four-year degree program, gaining accounting experience and passing the CPA exam. The following table displays a more detailed list of requirements for becoming an oil and gas CPA:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|Bachelor's degree**
|Degree Field
|Certified public accountant (CPA) license*
|3-5 years of experience in oil and gas accounting, revenue, accounts receivable, coding and tax analysis**
|Key Skills
|Able to listen to coworkers and clients, comfortable communicating orally and in writing, enjoys examining information closely, maintains organized work area and pays attention to detail*
|Computer Skills
|Proficient in spreadsheet software programs and allocations software programs**
|Technical Skills
|Full understanding of mathematical and statistical formulas and familiar with electronic calculators*
Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),* CareerBuilder.com August 2012 job postings.**
Step 1: Earn a Dual Degree
Although the BLS shows that accountants only need a bachelor's degree to find employment, the majority of states have changed their educational requirements for certified public accountants (CPAs). The BLS records from 2012 indicated that most states require CPA applicants to meet the minimum educational requirements of 150 units of postsecondary coursework, whereas a traditional bachelor's degree is only 120 units. Thirty additional post-baccalaureate units are equivalent to a master's degree.
Dual degree programs allow students to complete bachelor's and master's degree programs in five years instead of six. Before starting graduate level classes, some schools may require students to complete prerequisite courses or pass exams. Course topics in these dual degree programs may include micro and macroeconomics, cost accounting, financial management, auditing, operations management, accounting information systems, marketing, taxation rules and business law.
Success Tip:
- Take oil and gas accounting courses. Not every degree program offers courses directly related to the oil and gas industries. Some universities offer elective courses in these fields, and a few colleges even offer related certificate programs. Most oil and gas courses and certificate programs discuss the energy market, global issues, financial management strategies, petroleum accounting and domestic natural gas accounting.
Step 2: Build Industry Experience
The BLS recommends that college students complete as many accounting internships as possible to gain the experience needed for CPA licensing requirements. Furthermore, job postings listed in August 2012 on CareerBuilder.com for oil and gas accountants showed that employers preferred applicants with at least 3-5 years of experience in the industry.
Not all colleges require students to complete internships, but many colleges help students find accounting internship opportunities. Universities that have coursework or certificate programs related to oil and gas accounting may have direct contact with industry leaders.
Success Tip:
- Attend industry lectures. Representatives from some of the largest oil and gas companies are often asked to be guest lecturers in business and accounting classes. During these lectures, students have the opportunity to ask questions about individual companies and industry accounting practices. Many representatives also offer internship opportunities that may lead to full employment.
Step 3: Become a CPA
Individuals become licensed CPAs in their state of employment, and each state has slightly different licensing requirements. In most states, license applicants have to meet education and experience requirements to be eligible to take exams. Experience requirements vary, but most states require applicants to have 1-2 years of approved accounting experience.
The BLS stated that, after meeting eligibility requirements, individuals must pass the uniform CPA examination, offered by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). Information from the AICPA website indicated that the exam consists of four parts: financial accounting and reporting (FAR); auditing and attestation (AUD); regulations (REG); and business environment and concepts (BEC).
Step 4: Find Employment as an Oil & Gas Accountant
CPAs who have enough related experience and training can start applying for oil and gas accountant positions. Predictions from the BLS showed that up through 2020, open positions for accountants and auditors will increase by 16%. Competition for accounting positions is expected to remain high. Accountants who are licensed CPAs will most likely have better job opportunities, per BLS reports.
Step 5: Maintain CPA License
Information from the BLS stated that accountants who are CPAs must maintain their licenses by meeting renewal requirements, which often include paying fees and completing approved continued-education courses. Each state has different requirements for what counts as approved coursework. Some states may require CPAs to attend formal classes or conferences, whereas other states may allow individuals to learn from interactive web-based seminars or individual study programs.

Pizza Tank Actually Fires Real 14-inch Pizzas
It's just like in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
It's just like in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Imagine driving along like normal and then suddenly seeing a tank smash through the central reservation of the road—that is exactly what happened yesterday to one unlucky driver in Mariupol, a major city in the south east of Ukraine. The armoured vehicle, with Ukrainian military markings, made mincemeat of an advertising billboard while the driver of the car got a big scare but was luckily unharmed.
Military-Spec cases have been around for a while, but the Tank Case is ridiculous. Case Mate is so sure of the Tank's toughness that it hired third-party testers to subject a Tank-protected iPhone to a grueling, cringe-inducing battery of tests. To the Thunderdome!

According to witnesses and media reports, members of the University of Kansas' Beta Theta Pi fraternity reportedly tortured a turkey to death during a party at their building.
The terrified animal was allegedly kicked in the cage that contained her and then relentlessly chased through a crowd of 150 people. Fraternity members allegedly threw her around "like a football," swung her through the air, and choked her.
During this horrific ordeal, the screaming bird apparently sustained multiple broken bones and was ultimately killed.
Charges have not yet been filed against those responsible, even though these actions likely violate Kansas §21-6412 which defines "cruelty to animals" as "knowingly and maliciously killing, injuring, maiming, torturing, burning or mutilating any animal."
Urge officials to make sure charges are filed and urge University of Kansas officials to enact a campus-wide ban on events involving live animals. Send polite comments to:

46 per cent of 1.20 lakh youth in the age group of 18-19 yet to enrol their names
About 46 per cent of the 1.20 lakh youth in the age group of 18-19 in the district are yet to enrol their names in the voters list.
The district had a total electorate of 19, 35,529, accounting for 69.60 per cent of its population of 27.81 lakhs. Of the 1.20 lakh youth in the age group of 18-19, only 67,754 have enrolled themselves in the voters list.
This was disclosed by Collector Jayashree Muralidharan during National Voters Day Observation in the city on Friday. Distribution of Electors Photo Identity Cards (EPIC) to newly enrolled voters, awareness rallies and administration of pledges, a mini marathon and cultural events, emphasising the importance of citizens exercising their democratic duties, marked the observation.
Speaking at a function to distribute prizes to winners of various competitions organised in connection with Voters Day, Ms.Muralidharan emphasised the need for youngsters to register their names in the electoral rolls to exercise their democratic duty.
The enrolment among youngsters was much lower in comparison to those in higher age groups, she said and appealed to youngsters to enrol their names in the voters list without fail during the summer holidays by approaching respective Revenue Divisional Offices. They could also register their names online through the Election Commission website. Highlighting the strengths of the electoral system in the country, Ms.Muralidharan said unlike in several developed nations, the results of the elections here are counted and declared in a day. It was also necessary that the sensitisation campaign to enrol voters did not end with the National Voters Day but continued on a sustained basis. P.Velmurugan, District Principal and Sessions Judge, who inaugurated the distributed of EPICs to young voters, said it was essential that each and every citizen exercised their franchise to ensure that the largest democracy in the world was also the strongest.
Earlier, Ms.Muralidharan flagged off a rally and a mini marathon by college students. Mr.Velmurugan distributed prizes to winners of quiz, collage, slogan writing, and painting competitions organised as part of the observation.
The process of distributing EPICs to about 92,050 new voters enrolled during the recent summary revision of electoral rolls began in the district.
The cards would be distributed door-to-door from Saturday to those who have not received the cards on Friday.
In Tiruchi city limits the cards were distributed through 494 polling stations. Those seeking corrections in the cards could apply through Form 8 at the respective Corporation zonal offices, Corporation Commissioner V.P.Thandapani said in a release.

Beverly Hills Hotel marks 100 years of swank
The hotel remains a place where celebrities can let down their hair, attracting the East Coast elite as well as Hollywood locals. But paparazzi, beware. "Stars felt safe here, as they do today," said Anderson. "For example, even getting through the front door. If you're wielding a heavy-duty camera, they ask you what the hell you're doing."
Four stories high, surrounded by acres of gardens and flowers, the hotel evokes a lush Mediterranean fantasy island, decorated with banana leaves, palm fronds and fuchsia azaleas. In the 1940s, African-American architect Paul Williams designed the hotel's looping handwritten script logo and redesigned the Polo Lounge, which had previously been called El Jardin. Williams also designed the more casual Fountain Coffee Room below the lobby, which still has a curved dark counter and green banana leaf wallpaper. The hotel was nicknamed the "Pink Palace" after being painted a salmon hue in 1948 to reflect light shades of the sunset.
Some things have changed, of course. Gone are stables for guests' horses; the school, movie theater, billiard room and bowling alley that were once downstairs; and fox hunts that were staged in nearby barren hills. There have also been financial ups and downs. The Great Depression forced the hotel to close in 1933 and reopen 10 months later under the ownership of Bank of America before being sold again later, according to Anderson's book. The hotel was bought by the Brunei Investment Agency in 1987 and is now part of the agency's Dorchester Collection of luxury hotel properties.
In 1992, the hotel closed for a $100 million restoration, reopening in 1995. Today it has more than 200 rooms and suites, including 23 private bungalows big enough to accommodate staffs and families. Five bungalows date to 1915, while new presidential bungalows unveiled last year include outdoor rain showers. Rooms, decorated with peachy marble bathroom floors and green granite countertops, now run upwards of $500 a night. Cocktails at the Polo Lounge, 15 cents in 1944, now start at $17. But spotting A-listers at the hotel remains a regular occurrence, whether in the Polo Lounge, the Cabana Cafe, Bar Nineteen12 overlooking the hotel's citrus garden, or down a winding staircase to the enormous art deco Crystal Ballroom.
A celebration of the centennial is planned for June 15-17 to benefit the Motion Picture Television Fund, with a filmmaker panel, an evening party hosted by director Brett Ratner and a Polo Lounge brunch hosted by Warren Beatty and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Regular folks who want a taste of the anniversary can try drinks from "These Walls Are Talking" cocktail menus featuring drinks such as "100 Year Sidecar," `'The Rat Pack" and "The Norma Jean."
In a new film timed to the anniversary celebration, directed by Chuck Workman, Michael Douglas mused about the hotel's nostalgic appeal to both celebs and those without Hollywood ties.
"I've been going to the Beverly Hills Hotel for over half of its life. You feel timeless," said the actor. "There's a thoughtfulness that makes you feel like you're coming home. It could be 50 years ago, except of course for the cell phones.
If You Go ...
BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL: 9641 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills, Calif.; http://www.beverlyhillshotel.com/ or 310-276-2251. Nightly rates start at $500. Packages for the June 15-17 anniversary benefit weekend, $7,500 to $15,000.
