Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday met Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi as government formation talks continue before the swearing-in ceremony tomorrow.
Amid reports that Naidu is seeking cabinet berths for his MPs, the TDP met Modi here in Gujarat Bhawan and the meeting lasted for over 30 minutes after which Chief Minister- designate of Andhra Pradesh left without talking to media.
Naidu had yesterday met the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh at his residence. "We are joining the government. The TDP was part of four non-Congress governments at the Centre. We would be part of NDA as well," he had stated but did not say how many cabinet berths his party would get in the central government to be headed by Modi.
Leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies like the TDP, Akali Dal and the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), are also likely to be included in the Council of Ministers.
The TDP which faced the elections in alliance with the BJP, won 16 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh. The party is also forming the government in residual Andhra Pradesh.

The National Weather Service Grand Forks office Thursday issued an updated spring flooding prediction for the Sheyenne River at Valley City.
Chances are slight for spring flooding.
Predictions for flooding in Fargo are much different. Residents along the Red River in Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn., should prepare for one of the top five floods in their history.

After two recent years of record-breaking floods in the area, it may seem like the future of Valley City looks very wet, but according to two local women, a drought may be just as likely, although predictions can change rapidly.
World Water Day is observed March 22 as an effort to raise awareness on water issues. Jean Legge, former science teacher at Litchville Marion High School, and local water advocate Madeline Luke, both say that while the future of water in the area may be uncertain, the area should prepare for extreme weather events — whether it's a flood or drought.
The March 13 Match Five Powerball prize worth $1 million was claimed Wednesday at the Lottery office in Bismarck. The winning ticket was sold at the Cenex Convenience Store in Wahpeton.

After a season of controversy between Barnes County officials and Valley City, county commissioners have elected to move forward with negotiations on a lease agreement for new offices for the Barnes County Sheriff's Department.
The sheriff's new home will likely be the old USDA building located off Winter Show Road. With an annual lease of $17,820 per-year and the costs for installing new technology for the building, the move will cost significantly more than staying in the Valley City Law Enforcement Center where the sheriff's department is currently located.

The Central Bureau of Investigation chief Ranjit Sinha has ordered an internal inquiry asking why his team did not arrest vice-chairman of Bhushan Steel Neeraj Singhal during searches at his residence in the Syndicate Bank bribery case despite his clear instructions.
"We have ordered an internal inquiry into non-arrest of Neeraj Singhal by our team," Sinha told reporters here.
The CBI team conducted the raid at Singhal's residence on Friday in his presence. Despite, Sinha's clear directions, the team didn't arrest Singhal, giving him a notice under section 160 of CrPC asking him to appear before the investigators on Saturday. Since Friday Singhal is evading investigations and the agency has not been able to arrest him. He has filed an anticipatory bail application in a local court which is slotted for hearing on Wednesday. Another accused in the case Purshotam Totlani, a realtor, is also evading investigations.
According to sources, the inquiry has been initiated to establish why wasn't Singhal arrested despite clear orders of the agency chief himself. "And thus a disciplinary action can be initiated, if needed, against the officers concerned.
CBI has arrested Syndicate Bank chairman and managing director SK Jain and eight others for allegedly accepting bribe of Rs 50 lakh to enhance the credit limit of some companies. The two FIRs were registered against Bhushan Steel Limited and Prakash Industries and Jain is named in both the FIRs, under relevant sections of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and criminal conspiracy.
The agency is also looking into all the loans disbursed under Jain's tenure, who assumed the office in July 2013. The bad loans, where relaxation is given to a borrower in contravention of the rules, are also under the scanner of the agency.
Investigators claim that Jain himself negotiated the bribe over phone with Bhushan Steel, who had availed Rs100 crore loan from Sydicate Bank. He had assured the company that the account will not be declared as NPA, after the payment of the bribe. According to CBI, BSL had routed the money through hawala operators.
Prakash Industries, as per the CBI has availed loan of Rs120 crore from Syndicate Bank and later credit facilities were enhanced. CBI claims that the money has exchanged hands in this case as well and they are investigating, whether due diligence was followed while enhancing the credit facility.
CBI claims to have recovered cash to the tune of Rs21 lakh from Jain's residence besides gold worth Rs1.68 crore and fixed deposits of up to Rs63 lakh.

Freeze That Settlement?
Three opinions (but only one Jew) in today's op-ed pages
As we noted earlier today, the 455 new houses Israel is building in the West Bank will be located in settlements likely to end up in Israel proper even should a separate Palestinian state emerge. However, the announcement of new building has prompted a broader and provocative discussion of the importance (or unimportance) of a settlement freeze—something President Obama has called for—and specifically its relation to economic growth in the Palestinian territories.
The anti-settlement cause was buttressed by a prominent (if unsurprising) voice: Jimmy Carter. The former president, who a few years ago published Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, reported Sunday on a trip he took to the territories with a few other former world leaders, whom he refers to (somewhat creepily, no?) as "the Elders." "We found a growing sense of concern and despair among those who observe, as we did, that settlement expansion is continuing apace," he relates. He calls a settlement freeze "key." This earned him the ire of prominent neoconservative writer and former Bush adviser Elliott Abrams, who chastised Carter and cited the West Bank's predicted 7 percent rise in GDP ("a rate of growth that would be far in excess of ours—or Israel's") as evidence that Palestinian society is, with Israel's conscious help, actually beginning to thrive. Also today, this time on the International Herald Tribune's opinion page, Zahi Kouri, who runs the West Bank's Palestinian National Beverage Co. (which appears to be a Coca-Cola bottler), credits that 7 percent growth rate not to Israeli benevolence but to "Palestinian reforms undertaken in spite of the obstacles Israel continues to place in the way of Palestinian development." Like Carter, he deems a settlement freeze "a crucial first step to salvaging the two-state solution."
Actually, a crucial first step would be knowing whose facts to believe. But in a world where everyone has an opinion, perhaps that's asking too much.

Klingons, PVP, Science, Cruisers, Beams, and You!
Ok, so the general assumption I have gained from all the forums is that Small Escort type ships should use frontal heavy cannons. All big ships should use beam weapons with wide firing arcs.
So in end game.... are the bigger Klingon ships the better route for Science Captains looking to offer solid support to their teams? If so, then wouldn't it make sense for Science officers looking to be in big ships to focus on beam weapons through T2? Any advice, theories, assumptions, or facts would be greatly appreciated!
I am thinking Beam Overload I and Torpedo High Yield 2 could do some good damage in pvp setting... making sure we fly around at max speed circling our enemies. Once we get to bigger ships, use those as healing command vessels... am I on the right path here? Since skills have a cap, we should only focus on either beams or cannons..... so I guess the main point to sort out first is if science captains belong primarily in larger ships, and should the larger ships mainly aim for being "beam-boats"?

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Both Shakespeare and Williams, however, knew the difference between the serious part of the play and the supernatural junk they threw in to spook the groundlings. That's where McPherson goes wrong. His story describes a simple interaction between two men, a lapsed priest who's set up shop as a therapist (Brían F. O'Byrne), and a recently widowed restaurant-supply salesman (Oliver Platt) who thinks he's being haunted by his dead wife's ghost. As the therapy sessions go on, alternating with scenes from the therapist's tangled private life, we learn that the salesman's messy marriage offered ample reasons for his be-ghosting now, and that his bumbling novice healer comes well equipped with ghosts of his own. When the treatment's completed (rather summarily), the men go their separate ways, one comparatively healed and one not. That's a small story, but a plausible and interesting one, unlike the genre rehashes of earlier McPherson works like The Weir and The Good Thief. But then comes that ending, which either tells us something we already knewthe therapist has solved the patient's problems but not his ownor sneeringly lets us know that something more effectively done in an old-style three-page magazine story has been slipped in on us while we thought we were watching a play. (To make matters worse, there's even some flimflammery about an object, the transferred ownership of which may carry the supernatural with it. Haven't M.R. James and his imitators long since worked that one into its grave?)
McPherson may mean us to see the ghostly as an image of the hidden connections between human beings. All four of Shining City's characters are lonely, isolated, emotionally impaired people who don't notice or can't express their connection to others. But this too is old stuff, and his way of writing it, all hesitations and repetitions, grinds the point in rather than dramatizing it. He gets all the help he could ask: Robert Falls's staging, subtle and tactful, is his best work in some time. Few actors are better than Brían F. O'Byrne at delineating a disturbed personality: He catches the therapist's haunted past and bothersome present in every silent glance. Oliver Platt's monotone delivery always bothers me, but here he builds on it, cannily and in the long run movingly. Martha Plimpton and Peter Scanavino, with only one brief scene apiece, register powerfully. Yet even fine acting and direction can't make Shining City more than a pale ghost of a play.
Even paler, to my taste, is The Faith Healer, the 1979 play in which Brian Friel started this whole narrational mode of Celtic drama. Like Shining City, Faith Healer emphasizes the psychological while toying with the supernatural: The title character, a charming mythomane who half believes in his curative powers, works his way among the tiny villages of Scotland and Wales, dragging along his wife and his manager, both too smitten with him to chuck the shabby situation. Death, breakdown, and misery result, but not as we watch; the characters simply take turns narrating events for us. As a mode of playwriting, this has always struck me as pointlesswhy bother with all the theatrical paraphernalia if there's no dramatic event?and I have to confess that The Faith Healer strikes me as pretty much pointless too. The hero knows something will go wrong, and it does. Everybody's unhappy. The end.
That the hero is the least interesting role doesn't improve matters, especially not as played, in Jonathan Kent's production, by Ralph Fiennes, who seems both too young and too coolly urbane for the character and, finding no action to play, tries to get by on vocal color alone, with numbingly dreary results. If Cherry Jones is this itinerant's wife, Memphis is north of Dublin, but at least Jones knows how to create and focus an emotion onstage. Ian McDiarmid gets all there is to be gotten, in humor and pathos, out of the seedy Cockney manager. But again, acting can't make up for the absence of a play. I know, I know, there's an Irish tradition of storytelling. But the whole charm of storytelling is that it can be done anywhere; it doesn't require the vast resources that make these fancied-up recitations masquerading as plays look so pretentious and vacant.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Walter J. Chwals, MD (University of Chicago Hospitals)
Description: This is the second edition of a textbook dealing with surgical nutrition and metabolism, first published in 1983. The editor and many of the 57 contributors are internationally recognized leaders and investigators in the field. The book entails a comprehensive overview of the interaction of metabolic components important in normal physiologic homeostasis and in acute injury states as well as a discussion of nutritional strategies that may be used to support the acute metabolic needs of the critically ill patient. It represents a substantial improvement over the previous edition and reflects the remarkable advancement of scientific understanding in this field during the past 13 years.
Purpose: The purpose is to familiarize the reader with an updated understanding of the metabolic changes that accompany critical illness and to suggest clinical approaches of proven or putative benefit in the intensive care setting that have evolved, largely from clinical or laboratory investigations, based on the theoretical framework presented.
Audience: The audience includes all practitioners of nutritional support who serve patients in the intensive care setting, and it is particularly useful for surgeons and intensive care professionals who care for patients during acute injury states.
Features: The book begins with general theoretical considerations, which includes an excellent discussion of mediators that regulate the response to injury, and sets the groundwork for further discussion of intermediate metabolism. The specialized use of particular substrate components, such as glutamine, arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and short-chain fatty acids, are nicely integrated with a discussion of body defense and reparative functions. The text then considers specific patient assessment and metabolic response characteristics in various clinical settings, such as starvation, trauma, infection, and neoplasia. The book concludes with a discussion of the risks and benefits (including cost) of specific modes of nutritional therapy. As with any text of this magnitude, there is some variability in the quality of the material presented, although the majority of the chapters are well written, present a comprehensive and balanced discussion of the data in the contemporary literature, and are well-referenced. In addition, each chapter concludes with a selected readings section, highlighting several key publications (with a short synopsis of each one) that frame the perspective of the preceding chapter. The pictures, including electron micrographs, are remarkably well reproduced, as are most of the diagrams and figures.
Assessment: This well-conceived textbook will prove to be an excellent teaching and clinical resource to practitioners who wish to provide high-quality and cost-effective metabolic and nutritional support of the critically ill patient.

As for decloaking and firing that's done in just about EVERY canon source out there, it's the definitive Klingon tactic. A lot of the time the image is still wavering (still decloaking) when they open fire in the canon sources.
Power drain is a pure balancing issue, and it would severely nerf cloak to do this, so I'm personally against it.
Also, as an aside, posting a thread and adding "I'm not going to come back and read this" is not a good way to demonstrate that you're a mature individual. It's a bit childish to be honest, like calling someone stupid then sticking your fingers in your ears and saying lalala.

Here on this brand new flight of day
On the grand stage of the world
I may but find a rare reason to smile,
Tho' my head springs merry in life's wilderness
My heart numb lays on a valiant pain
Somber among the public multitudes
I've felt the whips of envy on a still day
I've known the days without a bread
I've grasped the pulsing hands of a dying child
When all the streets and night is dead.
I've taste the public scourging of hate
By priest, by saints, by nobles, by poets,
By false friends
By men who lie with men, by prostitutes,
By wealthy creeps
By common fools, by thieves,
By nameless intellects,
By jealous men, by deceitful scamps,
By mere hypocrites
By men who stamp upon my youth
With sly murmuring, with boundless lies
With streams of prejudice, with vile contempt
I've watched their hands grew fat and bright
I've watched their wealth expand to a sky
From the poor strength of a man.
I've flown to a lightless sky of solitary
God is not there, he is distant and mute
I'm forgotten thro' the pages of his memory
I bare my sorrows upon a dead wind
In shackles against a dim wall colorless
No one hears the echoing sadness of my days
No hears, no one hears!
Even the light blue stars deserts me
Even the woods cry out in mockery
In the storming of my wretched days
And yet the moon crawls beneath a cloud
The last embers of hope flutters away
Like a streaming mist enskied
I die! I die! I die!
In love's martyrdom
From a spectre memory snaking thro'
The strangled regions of my mind
Thro' the fleeting hours of deep quietude
My heart lays desolate and cold
Darkness creeps like the silent waters
Yet still I'll find a rare reason to smile.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
It is through the darkest moments of our days that we see the light. Can one find a reason to smile when the darkness subdues the light. There is always a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel that can give one a rare reason to smile. Thanks for reading my humble verses.

Thornton pots go-ahead score
|02.01.09 at 4:10 pm ET
MONTREAL — Shawn Thornton gave the Bruins their first lead of the game when he popped in a Byron Bitz pass from just in front of the net halfway through the second period. It's been an active night for Thornton, who dropped the gloves in the opening minutes of the game with Canadiens defenseman Alex Henry in his first game up from the AHL.
Once again the 6-foot-1, 209-pound Thornton was giving up size and a significant reach in the bout with the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Henry fresh off the bus from Hamilton — but came out of with at least a draw and a few good shot tossed in during a lengthy scrap.

Since 1976, Animal Rescue, Inc. has been a refuge for homeless cats and dogs. We make a promise to any animal who comes through our gates: they will never be homeless again. We hope our residents will find a loving home with a lifelong companion or a loving family; but if they never find that home, they are welcomed into the ARI family.
ARI is home to several hundred animals between our different locations. We have many adoptable animals as well as animals with varied medical or behavioral needs. No animal is euthanized due to medical expense or the inconvenience of care.
While our main goal is to find a responsible home for our residents, we work hard to ensure all animals receive the level of care they need. Thanks to the help of our loyal staff and charitable volunteers, any animal can find a loving home here. We are always looking for compassionate people to donate their time and help us in our mission to care for our residents.
In addition to being a sanctuary for the unwanted, ARI offers free or discounted emergency medical services. We offer a Crisis Intervention Program, which helps keep the human-animal bond intact by providing assistance to the elderly or infirm. We also offer low-cost spay and neuter clinics to the surrounding community, and trap-neuter-release (TNR) clinics for feral cats. Most of our residents are rescued strays, as we offer solace to any creature who needs us. Over the years we have opened our home to mice, cows, chickens, pigs, turkeys, goats and geese.
Every life, no matter how big or small, matters at ARI.
Animal Rescue, Inc. consists of two locations: A cattery in the Putty Hill area of Baltimore, Maryland and a 33-acre farm located at the Pennsylvania/Maryland border just off route I-83.
At any one time we have approximately one hundred dogs and several hundred cats between our locations – most of which are available for adoption. ARI services Maryland and South Central Pennsylvania. ARI is a "Shelter for Life" for stray and abandoned animals.
Animal Rescue, Inc. does not normally accept personally owned, unwanted pets. Most of our residents are rescued strays.
Pets that were used to having their own home, a place to sleep, and their own food bowl do not do well in a facility such as ours. All our residents are given the best possible care to allow them to live out their natural lives. No animal is put to death because of medical expenses or the inconvenience of care.
One of the major objectives of ARI is to find loving, responsible homes for its residents.
Of course, for all of this to work one of the most important aspects of ARI is our network of volunteers. Many of these volunteers give up their days off to donate their time caring for the residents at the facilities. There are many things that need to be done at an animal rescue!
ARI also promotes spay/neuter programs (we also run our own low cost program for those in need), and operates a Crisis Intervention Program which keeps the human/animal bond intact by providing assistance to the elderly, sick, and the infirm.

McCarthy: please release me
Filed: Monday, 25th January 2010
By: Staff Writer
Benni McCarthy is refusing to return to Blackburn - whilst stating that he wants to join West Ham, according to reports.
McCarthy, who is surplus to requirements at Ewood Park is thought to have been the subject of a £1.25million bid from West Ham last weekend. Rovers are said to have told United that a deal would not be sanctioned until a replacement for the South African striker had been found.
The 32-year-old is understood to have failed to attend training with his club since last Thursday as a result of the impasse and, according to Sky Sports this lunchtime, has now confirmed that he sees his future with the Hammers as a result of having been frozen out by Sam Allardyce.
David Gold first revealed West Ham's interest in the striker upon being unveiled as the club's new joint-owner last week.

Zotonic: the Erlang Content Management System
You already have seen the show_media filter above, and many other filters exist to transform data for output. Other than filters, front-end development in Zotonic is aided by tags and scomps.
In the example above, I used the block tag to replace the content area in the template that I'm extending. Other tags that I use often are if, for and lib:
{% if id == 1 %}
The ID is 1
 {% endif %} {% for color in ["bleu", "blanc", "rouge"] %}
{{ color }}
 {% endfor %}
The lib tag can be used to import an aggregate of stylesheets or scripts to reduce the number of requests to the server:
{% lib "css/zp-menu.css" "css/zp-project.css" %}
Scomps, or screen components, are used when tags are not powerful enough and more logic is needed. The scomps that I use most frequently are menu and validate.
Menu is used to insert the standard Zotonic menu into your site:
{% menu id=id %}
Validate is used to validate a form field at both the front end and the back end:
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" value="" /> <input type="password" id="password2" name="password2" value="" /> {% validate id="password" type={confirmation match="password2"} %}
If you are willing to write some Erlang code, Zotonic can become much more than just a content management system. You can extend Zotonic with modules. The modules can be stored in the modules subdirectory of your site.
To make a module, create a modules directory within your site if it does not already exist:
mdkir priv/sites/default/modules
Let's create a simple module that implements a Web site guestbook. Users will be able to see the existing guestbook posts and add a new post.
Create a directory called mod_guestbook within the modules directory:
mkdir priv/sites/default/modules/mod_guestbook
Using your favorite text editor, create a file in this directory called mod_guestbook.erl, and in this file, put the following code:
%% @author Michael Connors %% @doc A guestbook module. -module(mod_guestbook). -author("Michael Connors <firstname.lastname@example.com>"). -mod_title("Guestbook"). -mod_description("A simple guestbook module."). -mod_prio(500). %% interface functions -export([ init/1, datamodel/0 ]). -include_lib("zotonic.hrl"). %% @doc Initiates the server. init(Context) -> %% Manage our data model z_datamodel:manage(?MODULE, datamodel(), Context). datamodel() -> [{categories, [ {gp, text, [{title, <<"Guestbook Post">>}]} ] } ].
Stop Zotonic and run make again. This will build your new module. Now, restart Zotonic, and log in to the admin. Go to the modules page, and observe that there now is a new module called Guestbook.
You can see here the values defined in the code for author, mod_title, mod_description and mod_prio. The Prio value indicates the importance of the module—the highest being 1 and the default being 500. Modules with a higher priority are checked first for templates and scomps.
A percentage symbol in Erlang indicates a comment, so any of the lines in this code preceded by percentage symbols are ignored by the compiler. The first two lines, although comments, also contain special notation, which is used to document the program.
Here, I exported init/1. This is because it must be called by external modules; init has an arity of 1, meaning it takes 1 argument:
-export([ init/1 ]).
If I had a function that took two arguments, I would export it like this:
-export([ itsname/2 ]).
You do not need to export datamodel, because it is used only by the init function in this module.
Init will be called whenever your module is loaded, and the first time it is called, it will create a new category in Zotonic called guestbook_post. This will be a subcategory of "text" and will have the display name Guestbook Post.
For each guestbook post, you should have a title and summary—luckily, all pages in Zotonic already have a title and summary, so without doing anything else, you can add posts to your guestbook by creating pages of the category Guestbook Post. Create a few Guestbook Posts now, ensuring that you fill in the titles and summaries. Also, don't forget to tick Published; otherwise, they won't be visible to users who are not logged in. You can use these to test your guestbook's display, which I discuss next.
Quitting Out of the Erlang Interpreter
Instead of ctrl-C + abort, the faster and cleaner way out of the erlang interpreter command prompt >:
Kind of like typing quit() at a python interpreter command prompt, but shorter and ending with a period/full stop. (Don't all good sentences end with a period? They do in Erlang.)

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Savannah Ghost Walking Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Our tour guide was interesting, knowledgeable and so engaging. He made you lose yourself in the history of the city as he told the story. This was the best thing I did while in Savannah! Highly recommend to all visitors!
The guide was very knowledgable and we enjoyed the stories about the places history. Very easy and pleasant walk.
It's really difficult to rate this tour. The guide, Tabitha, was very nice and told some great stories. The real issue was that my husband and I were the only ones on the tour. It was very awkward. I am surprised that they would run the tour with so few people. I am sure this would have been a lot of fun if more folks had been scheduled.
Phillip R
The tour guide was very nice and spoke very clearly. Some of the ghost stories were very good.
There was a few interesting stories, but it could have been better. The guide wasn't in costume. Most of the time she talked about what other people had seen on the tour. More history and less talk about other tours would be good.
**ALSO Viator is a 3rd party selling these tickets. So contact your tour and make sure you are one the list. I was not on the list. Good thing I contacted the ghost tour company, or else I would have been alone in the dark, waiting for a tour, potential for getting mugged.
Note from Viator: Thank you for your feedback! We wanted to reply to your concerns about contacting the tour operator. Viator will always send you a voucher after you have booked, and under the 'Important' section of the voucher, the tour operator's name and contact information will be listed, as well as directions for how to reconfirm your tour. Some of our tour operators do require reconfirmation in order for you to be picked up for the tour. We hope this information helps you, and future travelers, in having the smoothest possible Viator experience! Thank you again for your comments, and happy travels!

Watch and Tweet Live: Obama on Debt Talks, Boehner Responds
Monday, July 25, 2011
President Obama will address the nation tonight at 9pm, giving insight into the stalled talks on the Capitol to resolve and impasse over raising the federal debt ceiling. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Oh), follows with a two minute rebuttal.
More in:
Comments [7]
Let me be clear Mr. President:
No Taxes on lower income, middle income, or upper income!!!
President Obama came off bad. One term is enough.
So where is Boehner's speech? Don't see it here! I just watched both. The liar-in-chief is at the scare-mongering again! That's as civil and pithy as I can be.
If tax cut for the rich creates jobs – how come it did not create new jobs in the past? Unless confidence return nobody will be stupid enough to invest. Confidence will not return until war ends. Don't' be fooled. Republican goal is to defeat President Obama even if it destroys economy. We should wait until next election and let the people decide.
I cannot believe what I am hearing. Mr. Boehner seems to be on another planet.
I'm so sorry to see the press give him such a nice buy -- why are you guys being so nice?
This is a national embarrassment? Can't you get clever like the Brits, and slice and dice him?
I wish wnyc had put this on the radio as they usually do. My computer is not well equipped for streaming video . . .
Why are there so many liberals on this stream and why is the commentary so biased ?

Into The World - 2Up around Africa, 2 bikes along the Silk Road
View Single Post
Studly Adventurer
Joined: Jun 2010
Location: Bucharest or RTW
Oddometer: 600
Morocco - A Warm Up
Later we rode through Casablanca, heading inland toward the High Atlas. After sleeping in a millet field and after a villager gave us fresh cow milk in the morning, we climbed to the 100m high Ouzoud falls (in full swing at this time of year). You can pass the touts and faux-guides and ride your bike close to the pools where you can take a cold plunge or enjoy the free spectacle of nature; just take the right gravel road before the bridge for 5-600m.
In the afternoon we stopped again in Azilal for a tagine, then continued on a breathtaking route among peaks ranging from 2K to 4K. The landscape kept changing every hour, from lifeless valleys, to cactus infested walls, from reddish soil and rocky forests to fragrant cedars and green canyons punctuated by magenta wild flowers. When the road appeared to end, we suddenly found ourselves at 2750m altitude, from where 50km of tarmac interrupted by gravel brought in by spring floods led us to Imilchil.
We slept a charmed night at the Gite d'etape run by a Berber family. Aziz has built the beautiful house himself and is a licensed guide. He also has a shop in the village, selling carpets hadmade by his wife, Fatma.
After eating some freshly baked bread in the morning, we left behind the Bhutan-like atmosphere of beautifully camouflaged Imilchil behind, heading to Gorges Dades via Agoudal. Enter the most thrilling piste so far: after Agoudal the tarmac turns to gravel, then just traces in the dust. For 5 km we rode through a riverbed that had erased the piste during the recent floods. Offroading with a heavily loaded bike proved difficult and we took a few tumbles, managing to cover only 100km in more than 4 hours. Apart from the riverbed crossings, the piste is a fun ride, climbing to 2700m then going down in hairpins and thrilling turns, with alternating gravel, rocky patches, sand and dirt. The piste ends with a 30cm deep river crossing, from where the road is all tarmac, interrupted by landslides that are easy to manage. As if the whole day ride wasn't enough, we crossed the canyon of Dades back to another famous set of spaghetti-like road.
The public demonstrations cheering the king's peace oriented decision to promulgate a new constitution (giving more executive power to the elected government) arrived from Meknes where we last seen them in Boulmaine de Dades. We bushcamped outside the town, then left at sunrise to see the place where Sahara starts. You can see the mighty sand dunes in two places in Morocco: the golden ones of M'Hamid or the psychedelic pink Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, which is where we arrived in a blazing hot weather. A weird afternoon rain in the Sahara and a pool plunge later, we woke up to see the sun rising behind the glistening foot-trace swallowing mirage that is Erg Chebbi, a dune 160m high, bordered by the village of Hassi Labied.
The beauty of the desert is magical, and we left the second day still reveling in it. As a technical problem that has been aggravating for a while become urgent, we rushed the 400km through desertificated Draa Valley from Merzouga to Ouarzazate, where after a few days and with the help of Peter at BikersHome, we managed to change our defective chain.
Marrakech was like a punch in the face: crazy, hot, bursting with energy. It's instant love or hate, and we left our bike in the parking behind the Koutoubia mosque, then dove into the UNESCO World Heritage show that is Djemma el-Fna, with its storytellers, musicians, artisans and food stalls selling Michelin star worthy plates of tangia, sheep brain and seafood. The next day visit to Ali Ben Youssef medersa was followed by a protein load in Mechoui Alley, then a cool walk in the Jardin Majorelle.
At 5pm when we exit town, the roadside thermometer read 53 degrees Celsius, but 200 km further, in Essaouira, the wind capital of Africa, we felt chilly at 22. We didn't stay long to enjoy the white and blue spanish influenced colonial architecture of the medina, as our GPS got stollen in the fish market, only to be retrieved later against a 30 Euro ransom. That's why we ate quickly our delicious sardines, fresh fish and squid grilled at the public grillades de poisson with possibly the best bread in Morocco, then camped some 200km later, near Agadir.

Online Training Programs in Safety Engineering
Safety engineers investigate the causes of accidents or illnesses and work to reduce or eliminate them. They also design fail-safe back-up systems to prevent catastrophic results from system failure in infrastructure. Read on to explore online programs preparing students for this career.
Overview of Safety Engineering Programs
Online programs in safety engineering are available at the master's and doctoral degree levels at four-year universities or colleges. In some cases, schools offer safety engineering as an emphasis option within a systems engineering program. Like on-campus coursework in this discipline, the online curriculum typically covers engineering technology, design, physics and chemistry. Graduates are prepared to work in a variety of fields, including aerospace, commercial airlines, air traffic control, public transportation systems and weapon systems.
To be eligible for admission, master's degree programs require students to have a bachelor's degree, while prospective doctoral students should have a master's degree. Graduate-level programs may or may not require that the undergraduate degree be in engineering. Work experience in the field is also a common admissions factor, as are GRE scores and recommendation letters. Applicants should have mathematical ability, be detail-oriented and possess both analytical skills and stress tolerance.
Online Learning & Coursework
Many programs in this field are offered totally online, but it's also common for there to be some on-campus training or residencies -- especially at the doctoral level. Online coursework is delivered through a school's course management system, which creates a virtual classroom setting. Distance learners view lectures, participate in discussions and work on assignments within these environments. Web conferencing, message boards and chat rooms may be used for class interaction.
Master of Science Programs
This degree focuses on the senior-level duties of a safety engineer. Courses covering accident investigation and reconstruction, OSHA compliance and industrial hygiene are all common. Intensive engineering mathematics and industry specific software programs, like those used for nuclear reactors and the space program may be emphasized.
Doctor of Philosophy Programs
Online programs for doctorate degrees in safety engineering typically concentrate on research into a particular area of focus. Courses of study may include health and safety law, emergency disaster preparedness or human factors in engineering. A major component of programs at this level is the completion of a dissertation, which requires extensive research and study. These comprehensive projects typically must be defended in person before a faculty committee.
Professional Certification
Membership in the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) may be the next step in a safety engineering career. These professional associations could be a source of continuing education and professional development.

Pablo Fajardo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pablo Fajardo Mendoza (or Pablo Fajardo) is an Ecuadorian native of Cofán descent, who was raised in extreme poverty. With the help of the Roman Catholic Church,[1] he put himself through law school in the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. He was the lead lawyer against Chevron Corporation, representing thousands of natives in the Lago Agrio oil field, formerly developed by Texaco.
He won a CNN "Hero's award" in 2007,[2] and along with associate Luis Yanza, a Goldman Environmental Prize in 2008[3] In the wake of the latter prize Chevron launched an international publicity campaign accusing Fajardo of dishonesty and greed.[4]
He is featured in the 2009 documentary film Crude.

Regardless of how much SPF I apply daily, I still manage to burn my fair skin. This lotion did the trick in restoring my skin and keeping my arms from peeling after a day in the sun. Breaking open my aloe plant does the same thing. However, I can't break off a stalk every time my skin burns. So, with Summer coming I've ordered another full size to take to the beach with me. There is a slight scent, but it is better than most aloe based lotions/gels. I'm quite impressed with this Coola brand, now my go to sunscreen company. USA based product, with 99% of ingrediants from natural orgin and most of those organic as well.5

|Identification of National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) socialization variable clusters that predict private midwestern college persistence
|Johnson, Jay, 1974-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Concerns about increasing student persistence through understanding engagement led to a study based on the identification of NSSE socialization clusters that predict private Midwestern college persistence. Looking at engagement in context of social constructivism, supportive literature highlights relationships among engagement, persistence, and demographic variables. Archival data were retrieved from the college under study for this quantitative, pre-experimental, post-post comparison. The dependent variable is engagement measured by two NSSE Benchmarks; 1) Student-Faculty Interaction and 2) Supportive Campus Environment. The independent variables are persistence, gender, athletic status, and legacy status. Covariates for the study are ACT or SAT standardized test scores and high school grade point averages. Descriptive summary analysis, four-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and discriminant analysis found main and interaction effects of engagement and NSSE variable clusters within the four independent variables. Student interaction with faculty was found to be an indicator of engagement and persistence. The college under study must provide opportunities for faculty to be more socially involved with students.

MIAMI -- This was everything we love about the Miami Heat of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. This was basketball played at some of the highest levels it can be played, two historically gifted players toying with a great opponent for most of 40 minutes, and doing it with such joy, such passion. Just watching it -- the running and dunking and shooting and defending -- I kept thinking: This is a privilege.
But then it became everything we loathe about the Heat of LeBron and Dwyane. This was premature celebration at a level we haven't seen since July, when James, Wade and impressionable Chris Bosh celebrated their signed contracts as if an NBA championship can be won with a pen. Just watching it Thursday night -- the preening and posing, then the choking and excuse-making -- I kept thinking: This is nauseating.
Ultimately, this was everything we have come to expect from these fascinating, infuriating Miami Heat: Hollywood as hell. Damn good.
|NBA Finals: Game 2
Ken Berger
With stunning finish, Mavericks restore order, drama to Finals. Read >>
|Related links
But a bit too full of themselves.
And now the NBA Finals are tied at one game each after one of the biggest comebacks-slash-meltdowns in postseason history. The Mavericks stunned the Heat 95-93, finishing Game 2 with a 22-5 flourish capped by Dirk Nowitzki's spinning layup with 3.6 seconds left.
Dirk Nowitzki is the anti-Heat -- a quiet, humble, mentally tough SOB. He played with a splint on the middle finger of his left hand, and for more than 45 minutes he didn't play well. But he scored Dallas' final nine points, seven in the last minute, four with his left hand. That game-winning layup? He created it, then finished it, with his left hand. It probably hurt, but Nowitzki had more important things to worry about than pain. He had a game to win.
Contrast that with the Heat, who forgot they had a game to win because, honestly, they thought they had the game won. They led 88-73 with 7:14 left, the crowd going bonkers, the Mavericks crumbling. Miami thought the game was over, and Miami wasn't alone. Nobody gets off easy here, not even me. I was the idiot on Twitter who saw that 88-73 score and wrote the following: "Someone on the Dallas bench, throw in the towel. This is about to get ugly."
Boy was I right.
Just not like I meant.
This got ugly, ugly in a way that can't happen to a team with as much talent as the Heat -- but ugly in a way that could happen only to a team as self-satisfied as the Heat. The shot that gave Miami that 88-73 lead with 7:14 left was a 3-pointer by Wade. The sequence was beautiful to watch, started by James as he roared into the lane, elevated, floated until Mario Chalmers cut to the rim. James hit him with a pass, which Chalmers one-timed to Wade in the corner, where he buried the shot.
In front of the Dallas bench.
LeBron, as only LeBron can do, walked over to Wade and celebrated as if they'd signed a contract. Or won an NBA title. He danced with Wade, danced and pounded his chest until Wade relented and danced back. They were smiling, gloating.
In front of the Dallas bench.
"Hitting shots, posing on us," Mavs center Tyson Chandler said, "it's upsetting. I think it angered a lot of us."
While Wade and James made a mess with their premature celebration, they were oblivious to Mavs guard Jason Terry standing behind them. Watching them. Thinking things he wouldn't share with the media afterward, but things -- angry things -- you and I can guess. Coming out of the timeout, Terry hit a shot. Then another. And another. A few minutes later he hit again, bringing the Mavs within 90-86 and laying the foundation for the magnificent nine-point finish erected by Nowitzki.
As for the reaction of James and Wade to that final Wade 3-pointer, Chandler said: "You see all the celebrations, and they're throwing towels, and you say ... 'Is the game over?'"
For Miami, it was. There were more than seven minutes to play, but the Heat scored just five more points. In those seven minutes, James and Wade -- after the taunting, the preening, the posing -- took seven shots from the floor and missed all seven. Wade missed three shots, including the last one, a game-winner if it went, a running 3-pointer at the buzzer that hit the glass and rim.

"He short-armed it," Nowitzki said.
While the action went the other way, James turned to a referee and asked for a foul, hacking one arm with the other to show what (hadn't) happened to him. It was cowardly, is what it was. James blew the shot. It happens. Then he blamed it on a foul that didn't happen.
The fiction continued after the game when James was asked about that celebration in front of Dallas' bench at the 7:14 mark.
"It was no celebration at all," James said.
No, really. That's what he said. And then he said, "I was excited about the fact [Wade] hit a big shot and we went up 15. We knew we had seven minutes to go still. As far as 'celebrations,' that word has been used with us all year."
For good reason, LeBron. The celebration in July was inappropriate, irritating a nation of NBA fans. The celebration with 7:14 left in Game 2 was insulting, firing up a team of Dallas Mavericks.
Afterward James and Wade bickered with the media over the definition of "celebration," giving more thought to a stupid word than to the havoc it wrought.
"A celebration is confetti," Wade said. "A celebration is champagne bottles."
A celebration can happen in many ways. So can a meltdown. On Thursday night, the Miami Heat offered examples of both.

A spate of news articles, reports and blogs recently have been reporting about dropping associate job satisfaction. Many have called these associates simply cranky or just whining immaturely. Scores of onservers have have been completely dismissive about the loss of associate job satisfaction and taking the position that these lawyers should be happy to simply have a job. Let's for a moment simply forget the scores of unemployed and undermployed lawyers and focus instead on how and why law firm associate job satisfaction should be a matter of concern for law firms and, in particular, law firm management.
The simple fact is that declining law firm associate job satissfaction adeversely affects a law firm's bottom line. At the same time, improving associate job satisfaction does not entail cash investments. Rather, the cure, as well as enhanced law firm profitability involves open, regular, candid communication and an enhanced level of transparrency.
Talk may be cheap, but substantive regular talking will improve associate efficiency and appreciably add to a law firm's bottom line.
