Schools warned vs awarding top students with lead-tainted medals
MANILA, Philippines–Consumer safety and environmental watch group EcoWaste Coalition on Monday cautioned schools against awarding lead-tainted medals to academic achievers, who could possibly lose their brain power through exposure to the toxic metal.
The coalition's Task Force on Chemical Safety detected lead way above the allowable limit in 22 of 30 medals bought from manufacturers in the Sta. Cruz and Quiapo districts in Manila. Most of the medals were for preschoolers and elementary pupils, two of them bearing the Department of Education logo.
EcoWaste alerted officials in private and public schools, as well as child care and learning centers, to be wary of the medals they will award to their students in graduation rites next month, saying that lead can cause permanent brain injury. The group in particular warned against awards made of lead alloy or those coated in lead-based paint.
They pointed out that even very low levels of lead can cause brain damage in children and urged school officials to advise the young recipients of medals not to "play with, bite, lick or suck" on the award to avoid ingestion of or exposure to lead.
"We find it odd that lead, a nasty chemical linked to delayed development, stunted growth, reduced IQ scores and behavioral problems, is used in making medals that are meant to savor a child's academic and extra-curricular achievements," said Aileen Lucero of EcoWaste in a statement.
Lucero added: "Experts have not identified a safe threshold for lead exposure, especially among kids. This is why we insist that children's products, including medals, school supplies and toys, should be certified lead-free. We need to take every possible step to reduce lead exposure among our children."
In tests conducted by the group using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, EcoWaste found the toxic metal in 22 of 30 samples way above the allowable limit of 90 parts per million (ppm) for lead in paint or on any similar surface coatings. No lead was detected in unpainted generic gold, silver, and bronze medals.
EcoWaste said that a yellow-painted medal had 123,800 ppm of lead while others had levels from 37,000 ppm to 74,400 ppm. Two "unofficial" DepEd medals each had lead levels at 943 ppm and 14,100 ppm.
Lucero called on the DepEd to take steps in instructing schools to only award medals that are "child-safe" or those that are not tainted with lead and other toxic chemicals.
According to the World Health Organization lead, at high levels of acute exposure, attacks the brain and central nervous system and can cause coma, convulsions and even death.
"The consequences of brain injury from exposure to lead in early life are loss of intelligence, shortening of attention span and disruption of behavior because the human brain has little capacity for repair, these effects are untreatable and irreversible," the WHO further said.
The EcoWaste Coalition is a national network of more than 150 public interest groups pursuing sustainable and just solutions to waste, climate change and chemical issues towards the envisioned Zero Waste 2020 goal.

Letters: 'Doonesbury' debate
Over the many years I've been a subscriber I've often asked myself why I'm paying for you folks to have a platform to promote your right-wing views.
You've never been evenhanded but lately it's gotten a lot worse. I think it's sad that you would give that disgrace Roger Hedgecock a regular column to promote his twisted views. Who's next? Gordon Liddy? Neal Boortz? Rush Limbaugh? – Ken Padgett, San Diego
We are by putting on "vacation hold" our subscription in order to protest with great urgency your decision to suspend the "Doonesbury" cartoon. We will decide later whether or not to finally drop our U-T subscription. We protest your dropping of the "Doonesbury" cartoon because you do not approve of its message.
If you wish to make editorial comments about women or about their rights to reproductive issues, and especially if you wish to argue against their freedom to choose with their doctors what procedures they should undergo, please place your comments in the editorials where they belong. You could have done the same with "Doonesbury." – Robert and Sherry Engberg, Julian
Due to your cowardice, I've been reading "Doonesbury" online. I'm amazed that you have no problem publishing the hateful art of Michael Ramirez or the extreme politics of Roger Hedgecock, but you run away with your tail between your legs (very much like the Ramirez cartoon depicting Spain after the train station bombings) when it comes to printing a comic strip.
Really, you should be ashamed. – Kathleen McCord, Encinitas
To all the inflamed female readers who accuse U-T of shameful conduct for not running "Doonesbury" this week, I say shame on you. I found the "Doonesbury" comic on Google in less than three seconds. These self-styled feminists don't want to see the comic strip, they want to force everyone else to see it. They speak only of their freedom of choice, denying that U-T has such a right.
Women's right to contraception and abortion is not being attacked when criticizing Obamacare. Why should these things be furnished at no cost? If you can pay for sanitary napkins or tampons, you can pay for your own birth control pills. Or ask Planned Parenthood, wallowing in nonprofit wealth and government subsidies.
In the Texas case which Trudeau feels so strongly about, Texas will sort it out. Once again, ask the question, famously asked by cowboys about a salsa being advertised on TV: "It comes from where? New York City?" Enough said. – Patricia Sharp, Carlsbad
I think it's cowardly of you to not run the "Doonesbury" strip this week. It could be run on the editorial page, and it's not something children typically seek out, so your decision not to run it strikes me as blatant censorship. It's a very topical issue that should be publicized.
Shame on the U-T San Diego. – Gem Bond, San Diego
I must admit, U-T, I find your refusal to run "Doonesbury" contradictory to the article Sunday on Page A7, which describes many of the strips offenses (to you) in detail. So, it's OK for you to share it as long as it is in the guise of your opinion?

Market Research Reports, Inc. (www.marketresearchreports.com): MarketResearchReports.Com: Global Acrylic Acid Market is Expected to reach $18.8 Billion by 2020, Reveals New Report
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) According to a new report "Global Acrylic Acid Market (Derivatives Types, End Users and Geography) - Industry Analysis, Trends, Share, Opportunities and Forecast, 2013 - 2020", the global acrylic acid market is forecast to reach $18.8 billion by 2020 from $11.0 billion in 2013, registering a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period (2014 - 2020). The global consumption of acrylic acid would reach 8,169 kilo tons by 2020. Acrylic acid as precursor for various chemicals processes and as an intermediary for industrial processes such as surface coating, paper treatment, plastic additives, and textiles; has witnessed a surge in demand over past few years. The factors fueling the demand of acrylic acid market are growth in demand for superabsorbent polymers, growing usage of acrylic-based products in emerging economies and further development in the industries such as adhesives and sealants. Stringent government regulations pertaining to the environmental safety & human health and volatile prices of the raw materials are restricting the growth of the market globally. Production of acrylic acid largely depends on fossil fuel resources; therefore, due to the rising price of crude oil globally, manufacturers are now focusing on developing and commercializing renewable acrylic acid.
Recently, BASF, Novozymes, and Cargill jointly developed 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), a raw material for bio-based acrylic acid, in pilot scale. On the other hand, OPX Biotechnologies is aiming to commercialize bio acrylic acid by 2017 with its partner Dow Chemicals. Metabolix has successfully developed bio-based acrylic acid using FAST (fast-acting, selective thermolysis) technique in laboratory setting. Such and other developments will provide a platform for the future growth of acrylic acid globally due to its cost advantage, efficiency and its eco-friendly product outcomes.
The acrylic acid market is studied based on derivatives types, end users and geography. Among acrylic esters, acrylic polymers and other derivatives; acrylic esters segment leads the global market both in terms of volume as it is widely used as raw materials for producing adhesives, water-based paints, synthetic rubbers and synthetic resins. Acrylic polymers is the fastest growing segment in the derivative types market due to its broad spectrum of applications in industries such as surface coatings, surfactants, diapers and cosmetics.
Diapers segment is the largest consumer of acrylic acid in form of superabsorbent polymers and accounts for over 1/4th of the market revenue. Surface coating, adhesives & sealants and plastic additive are other top three major consumers of acrylic acid. Water treatment, textiles, and surfactants are among other end use segments. Surfactants would be fastest growing end use segment during the forecast period. Geographically, Asia Pacific holds the largest share of revenue and would continue to dominate the global acrylic acid market through 2020. LAMEA is projected to hold fastest growth potential, growing at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period. North America and Europe will have steady growth during the forecast period due to saturation in end use segments.
Competitive analysis revealed that product launch has been adopted as leading growth strategy followed by joint venture and agreement for business expansion. However, in recent, joint developments and collaborations has grown Companies profiled in the report include BASF SE, Dow Chemical Company, Arkema SA, LG Chem LTD., The Lubrozol Corporation, Evonik Industries Ag, Myriant Corporation, SIBUR, Momentive Specialty Chemicals, and SunVic Chemical Holdings Limited.

Network storage if growing more popular each day, and thanks to that, there are countless NAS boxes to choose from. We take our first look at a QNAP offering, that proves you do get what you pay for. This single-bay NAS offers pure silence, a great feature-set and simple setup.
We are in the middle of reevaluating the way we test the performance of the hardware in our networking reviews and because of this, we have added one addition test to the list. Not only will we be using our tried and true real world file transfer but will also be using a folder of the same size consisting of 361 individual files. This will not only give us a good idea of how well the TS-109 Pro performs under large data transfers but also how well it performs in more day to day situations of transfers consisting of individual files.
While most will never transfer hundreds of files at a time, keeping both the test folders the same size will allow us to keep track of how the performance compares across the tests.
Another addition to our testing methodology is the Sandra Network Bandwidth benchmark. While synthetic, when the same version is ran on all hardware involved in the test, it should at the very least give us an idea of how the performance of one device compares to that of another. Synthetics should often be taken with a grain of salt but it will be interesting to see how well the TS-109 Pro stacks up to our comparison subject, the Synology DS207+.
The hardware uses in these tests consists of:
Test System
The network card used in these tests was the on board Realtek RTL8169/8110 gigabit Ethernet controller. The abit board used in the testing has a pair of these Ethernet jacks on them but only needing one, the other was disabled. Jumbo frames have been disabled as well to provide the reader with as close to an environment as most would have at home.
The comparison NAS used in these tests is the Synology DS207+. The DS207+ is a dual bay NAS but for the sake of fairness, only one is being used. Both devices contain similar 500 MHz processors as well as 128MB of onboard memory. The QNAP product uses DDR2 while the Synology device uses DDR. All in all, the two are similar enough that a good opinion should be able to be drawn from our results.
Starting out with our Sandra results, we were surprised to see the DS207+ jump out ahead in every category. It will be interesting to see if these performance numbers carry over into our real world tests.
In our real world tests, we have taken a single 585 MB .iso of our Windows XP SP2 install disk and have transferred it to and from the pair of NAS boxes. This is the same file used in all of our recent reviews and will continue to be used to allow us to grow in our testing comparisons. To add to this test, we have also created a folder of 361 files, totaling out at 585MB. This should allow us to gauge how well the devices handle multiple file transfers at once. As in our other reviews, all tests were ran three times each and the totals of those runs were averaged out.
Interestingly enough, the TS-109 Pro fell behind the DS207+ in every category but the solid write. While most were close, the multiple reads worried us a bit as it took twice as long to pull the 585MB folder than it did with the Synology DS207+ with only one drive installed! Leary of our original results, we ran the test again multiple times with all ending in the same result.
On paper, the TS-109 Pro looked like a giant and in many regards; it lived up to those claims. With its low wattage footprint (QNAP claims that the TS-109 Pro only uses 6.6w of power when in sleep mode and a paltry 14.4W when in use) and full list of features, the TS-109 Pro is definitely a winner in our book. What has impressed me the most though was the small features that we haven't seen in other devices like hard drive block scanning, disk checking, a completely silent design and network recycling bin. It's these features that have sold me on the QNAP TS-109 Pro.
Performance of the NAS was lower than we expected and because of this we were a bit let down. That said, the performance of the TS-109 Pro wasn't bad either and the good in the NAS far out ways the bad that we uncovered.
Many have stated that they are a bit uncomfortable with the completely silent conductive cooling approach. For me however, this doesn't bother me a bit. While a fan might give many peace of mind, our test drive never exceeded 46 degrees Celsius, and for a hot 750GB drive, that's reasonable. Compare this to the 39 degrees that the drive in the Synology NAS hovered around and the trade off of a completely silent NAS isn't that hard of a pill to swallow. The all-aluminum casing does an adequate job of keeping our test drive well within its threshold temperatures and as we have said before, has done so without so much as a whisper.
The major selling points of the TS-109 Pro will not be the performance numbers. For most, the biggest allure of the TS-109 Pro is its rather large feature set. Offering many features that anyone who has worked in an office can appreciate, QNAP has done a great job of adding just what SOHO users will need in a NAS device. Theoretically a company can eliminate the need for a file server and an FTP server with a simple purchase of a device like the TS-109 Pro. For home users though, I would suggest the Pro's smaller brother, the TS-109. Containing the same hardware, the TS-109's biggest difference is its lack for active directory support.
On a multimedia front, the built-in TwonkyMedia server enables those with DNLA certified media players to pull songs, video and pictures off of the TS-109 Pro. Those with friends and family scattered across the globe will also appreciate the easy photo sharing feature and many will love download station perfect for setting up large BT downloads and forgetting about them until they complete.
At the end of the day, we weren't blown away by the performance of the TS-109 Pro but we were left very impressed. Similar to those the Synology brand of NAS, the features found on the TS-109 Pro are extensive and should be able to keep most everyone happy whether in an office or in a home. The most critical role of a NAS is to be a convenient, reachable backup source and the TS-109 Pro does that in spades. Holding up the 1TB hard drives, and being able to sync with attached drives over eSATA or USB, the single drive TS-109 Pro is suddenly a RAIDable NAS. Keeping all of your eggs in one basket has never been, nor ever will be, a good idea and allows the user to backup the contents of their TS-109 Pro over the USB or eSATA line is a great idea.
All in all, the TS-109 Pro from QNAP has earned a 9 out of 10. With plenty of features to go around, very few will find the TS-109 Pro to not live up to their expectations. Available online for just under $300, the TS-109 Pro isn't cheap but it's well worth every penny.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials have notified the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation that the "experimental" status of the park's restored elk herd has been officially lifted, clearing the way for permanent management of elk in and around the park.
RMEF is the largest financier of the park's 10-year elk restoration project, with more than $800,000 in contributions.
Kim Delozier, RMEF conservation program manager, said, "This is important because it's a formal federal declaration that our elk restoration efforts in the North Carolina section of the park have been deemed a success."

Looks like trouble over at Zeal Replica! Here's another in a string of letters I've received recently about this site's poor service and second rate knockoff handbags. At first I thought maybe they just had a few bad bags, since the complaints were mainly about their LV and Hermes products.
But today we'll learn that their Celine replica bags aren't cutting it either and their shoes are even worse! So next time you're shopping for replica bags, make sure to cross Zeal-Replica.com off your list – you can buy replica shoes like these cheaper off the street in Chinatown!
"Hi Eva,
This is my first time getting a replica, since the zeal is free shipping with a purchase of $300 or above, I got 2 items. (Which is a bad choice I made!!!)
Today, I received my pink Celine nano and Charlotte Olympia sandals today from zeal and the following is my opinions of the 2 items:
Shipping: Great, took about a week and able to be tracked.
Celine Nano: I give it a B grade. The size, shape and color is correct. It's a nice bag, however if you're familiar with authentic high end purses, you can tell the purse is fake. The texture is different, the leather is obviously not as soft as the authentic high end purses. Also, the leather has a strong smell, but it's not like the smell of the usual leather, it smells very different. It's real leather but it smells so weird, I don't know how to describe. I guess I shouldn't expect too much from a replica though, there's a reason why the authentic ones are so expensive. The purse looks real if you look at it from far away, but if you look closely, you'd doubt for sure. If the purse is in your hands, you know the purse is fake from it's texture. It's real leather but bad quality leather. It's thin but rough, it seems a bit fragile. The inside has better quality.
Charlotte Olympia sandals: I give it a C- grade. The shoes looks the same as the authentic ones BUT super uncomfortable. The inside is super hard, the suede is not real leather and also if you take a look at the pictures (the bottom of the shoes), you can tell they're badly made! It's too expensive for $129!!! I'd get way better real leather shoes with $129. Don't ever get shoes from this site.
I hope you can share this with your fans/readers so they can have a second reference.
In conclusion, this is my first and last time getting a replica! =(

Biddu changed Indipop with 'Made in India'. Now, an autobiography traces his musical journey
Popular music in India, for the most part, has been music from Hindi cinema. Then, in 1995, "Made in India" changed everything – nearly so – opening people's eyes to the world of individual, independent talent, the importance of larger-than-life music videos, and the fact that all this could actually translate to commercial success. It not just made Alisha Chinoy, till then a playback singer with occasional pop album trysts, an overnight star but signalled the arrival of Biddu as a music producer and composer of reckoning.
'Made in India' is still what many of us associate Biddu with, though, to be fair, it was the song 'Aap jaisa koi' from Qurbani, composed by Biddu and rendered by a very young Nazia Hassan, that made him a recognisable name in India.
Now, Biddu tells us the tale of his musical journey in Made in India: Adventures of a Lifetime, published by HarperCollins. Strangely, the autobiography wasn't what Biddu originally had in mind. "Last March I approached the publishers with the manuscript of a novel I had already written. They told me an autobiography would be more interesting and offered me a three-book deal. I went back to London and by September I was ready," says Biddu. So now, the second book is a "serious one", while the third is a "work of fiction set in Mumbai."
Bollywood vs pop
"Pop music today is Bollywood. When you're competing against Bollywood, with its big budgets and big stars, you don't have much of a chance unless you can create a Lady Gaga or Coldplay. The problem with Indipop now is most of the artistes tend to imitate. There's no original talent," says Biddu.
Made in India: Adventures of a Lifetime is the sum of many significant and insignificant events in Biddu's life as a musician. The book makes for an interesting read not just for its account of Biddu's journey from India to London and back, but in also how it stood in relation to the musical ambience of those times and occasional glimpses of artistes who later made it big – the Hippie movement in Europe, cafe conversations with a not-yet-famous David Bowie, the London club days of Jimi Hendrix, radio's role in the survival of a song, the electronic-isation of music, the gradual fading of disco under the onslaught of punk.
'Kung Fu Fighting', the single which Biddu composed with singer Carl Douglas, was another of Biddu's hits and it remains so even today. There's an interesting chapter on how the song almost didn't make it to the album's A side.
Recalling the "Made in India" days, he says, "It was the right song at the right time. Today it wouldn't have meant the same thing."
The music producer in him, though, is now taking a break. " Iam going to travel across the country and do shows." The person responsible for launching or re-launching many musical careers, from Alisha and Nazia Hassan (and brother Zoheb) to Shaan and Saagarika and Sophie Chaudhary, doesn't see himself in the role again.
"I don't like doing the same thing again. There's no new act, no one with that personality along with talent. I've worked hard so far. But it's better to make no album than a bad album," says he.SHALINI SHAH

The Reds did Ryan Hanigan and themselves a favor by trading the veteran catcher to the Rays in a three-team deal Tuesday.
CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Reds did Ryan Hanigan and themselves a favor by trading the veteran catcher to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-team deal Tuesday.
The Reds cleared the way for young Devin Mesoraco to become their main backstop, improved their hitting at the position and sent Hanigan to a team where he can be the No. 1 catcher and get a multi-year contract.
The Reds also got a young minor-league pitching prospect, left-hander David Holmberg, from the Arizona Diamondbacks in the exchange.
As part of the deal, the Rays gave Hanigan a new three-year, $10.75-million contract that carries the expectation that he will win the starting job even though they just re-signed Jose Molina to a two-year deal last week.
"It was tough to trade Hanigan," Reds GM Walt Jocketty told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. "It got to the point where we had one year before he became a free agent. Sometimes you have to make some tough business decisions you don't like to make. Hani did a terrific job for this organization. Everybody really likes him as a person, as well as a player. We also tried to keep in mind places where he might want to play. I know Tampa was an area. They had interest in him for a couple of years.
"Hopefully this works out well for him."
Hanigan, 33, said he saw the writing on the wall when the Reds signed free-agent Brayan Pena to a two-year, $2.275 million contract in November.
"I wasn't sure what the Reds were going to do, then when they signed Brayan, I kind of felt like they were going in a different direction," said Hanigan. "But I understood what they were doing and after that happened, I kind of just took it in stride and developed a relationship with [the Rays] when I was allowed and got to know these guys on a fairly quick basis."
"Devin Mesoraco will have the opportunity to become a front-line catcher for us," Jocketty said. "Holmberg provides us with the quality pitching depth that every team needs."
Despite Hanigan's superior defense and skill in handling pitchers, the Reds were ready to hand over the catcher's tools to Mesoraco after Hanigan hit just .198 in an injury-shortened 2013 season.
Hanigan, first called up to the Reds in 2007, played in just 75 games last season.
With Hanigan hurt, Mesoraco, 25, handled most of the Reds' catching in his first full big-league season. He played in 103 games and hit .238.
Pena, 32, a switch-hitter, played in 71 games for Detroit and hit .297. What he lacks in defense he makes up with his bat.

When To Visit...
Favorite thing: Netanya is a city of beaches and a lot of sun.... that is one pof the resons that you should come to Netanya at summer, when almost everyone is at the beach having fun with his friends, you can swim, play football, eat an ice cream...
In the winter the city is a bit gray, even sad but also then you may have luck and there will be some sunny days.
In the summer the avarage temperture can be 25-30 and in winter 12-18... i guess....
A Big Comlex Of Something...
Favorite thing: Im not sure what s that place... i know it is made of 6 residental buildings and in the other side there are some shops and restaurants that are situated on Nitza boulevard.
Fondest memory: I remember the first time when i ate in one of the restaurants that called Cafe Nitza a great spaghrtti.... since then im going there a lot of times to eat my favorite dish.
the Beach
Favorite thing: Netanya has the best beaches we've been to in Israel. The sand is well-kept, the beaches are rarely crowded and the water is great. There are rockier beaches north of the city (Mikhmoret, for instance) where there are no breakwaters and it might be possible to surf a bit. The main Netanya city beach has both stairs and a large elevator for access from the bluffs.
In the mornings the average age of beachgoers is probably around 72, but a younger crowd shows up later in the afternoon and on Shabbat. We really enjoyed the cafes on the beach and on the bluffs above in the city square (Kikar HaAtzma'ut).
- Family Travel
- Beaches
The Big White Elephant
Favorite thing: Dont get too exited if you see this building, maybe its beautiful but it has no use. The law of Netanyas municipality dosnt alloe build at the first row of the buildings after the sea coast residental buildings (just in city Center), so the devalopers said its gonna be hotel but at the end it came out a residental building so now the municipality dont let it to be setteld.
Fondest memory: The funny think is that surely a lot of money was invested in the building because it is built in city Center, with a very good surroundings and now all the money is gone... :(
The City Hall
Favorite thing: This is the actual City Hall, situated on Tel-Hai street.
I didnt saw the inside of it, but from outside it looks like a block. In this place the municipality workers decide about the future of Netanya.
You can also see the symbol of Netanya at the center of the wall of the first floor.
Fondest memory: The major decide to remove the City Hall to a new building at the cities new industrial park because the municipality belives that this building is too small. Well, i agree with them. Ialso think that this building is too ugly to be a City Hall.
An Old Corner...
Favorite thing: In this place you can have an interesting view of Netanya. This place is stuated near Tel-Hai pedestrian street.
Fondest memory: Take a look at the white building at the right side, This was the style of the buildings in Netanya at the beginning of the 20 century when the town was established. At the ground floor you can see a cool cafe that called Shtampper, It looks a very stylish place.
- Architecture
Health clinic
Favorite thing: There is nothing special in that building. It is my clinic where i go when im sick... there are many more like taht in Netanya so i wanted you to see one. They Health subject in Israel is one of the best in the world i belive.
Raziel Str.
Favorite thing: A beautiful street, just now been renovated.
In the first half of the strret there are many shops, clinics, the court, the center of culture and the police headquarters. At the second sides there are many residental buildings.
Fondest memory: This street is full of barber shops, so yes, my barber is also there so its the place where i go to cut my hair. If you are in Netanya and need a hair cut go to "Kuzahi"!!
Waitzmn Blvd.
Favorite thing: One of the cities central streets, its also one of the streets that connected to Hertzel street (the main street in the city).
There are many shops (some great fashion shops for youth at the beginning), supermrkets, banks, office buildings, the market and of course that there is a lot of traffic and noise all day long.
In the north side of the streets there are many residental buildings.
Fondest memory: A friendly street in my opinion.
A Funny Building
Favorite thing: This is a very strange building built in one of the cities new neighborhoods. Altough it built in a strage way i like it, it is ultra modern and situated in a great place.
Fondest memory: I like the building because of its style, a very cool blazer style.
City Of Square
Favorite thing: Netanbya has many many pleasent squares. Thier objective is to reduce the number of car accidents but also to make the city looks better because they are very green and has interesting stuff on them.
Fondest memory: There is even a huge sqyuare in the city that is about 4 times bigger then a regular one.
A Statue
Favorite thing: Its a statue in the Liberty square, i have no idea what its symbolize but i saw statues very similiar to this in other places too...
City Court
Favorite thing: This is the court of Netanya, the building is pretty strange. Instead of you i would do anythink not to get there...

|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Very cute cottage on the bluff with 180 degree view of lake Michigan off the back deck. Beautiful sunsets at night. Whitetail deer and an occasional red fox frequent the area along with plenty of birds and squirrels. 20 minutes from Mackinaw City and that exciting boat ride over to Mackinaw Island. Plenty of golf courses within 15-20 minutes, both for the beginner and accomplished golfers. Close to many good fishing lakes with available boat rentals. 5 minutes from the 'tunnel of trees' for the avid cyclist or motorcycle rider. A 5 minute walk from the famous Legs Inn and their great Polish cuisine. Also, a 5 minute walk to a great sandy beach that is never crowded. We have AT & T cell phone service ONLY! We DO NOT have Internet service at the cottage unless you have an AT & T personal hotspot. You can get Internet service at the local library, which is a 5 minute walk or you can go to the pellston airport,which is a 20 minute drive. Unavailable from November to May .
I have been coming up to northern Michigan for the past 45 years. I started out in our family cottage and then, bought my own place in Cross Village. I now live in Tucson, Arizona, but always come back in the summer to enjoy the awesome sunsets on Lake Michigan. I love to golf and fish which, this cottage allows me generous opportunities for both.
The Owner purchased this cottage in 2003
Cross Village is truly a hidden gem of northern Michigan. The beaches are never crowded. It is very quiet and peaceful. Yet, you are close to all the activities of Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Mackinaw City.
Golfing, fishing, hiking, or just plain relaxing on the back deck watching the freighters traveling on Lake Michigan.
We loved this cottage - it was clean and cozy, peaceful and quiet, and the owners were quite helpful with our questions. Our young 'uns enjoyed hanging out in the living room and on the nearby beach. We enjoyed the back deck and yard, watching the wildlife and going for walks in the area. It's an excellent value, and I would recommend this place to anyone with a family or a small/medium-sized group vacationing in the area. For a nice meal out, we enjoyed the Legs Inn - food was great and the waitstaff attentive and energetic. Plus lots of beautiful Polish pottery in the gift shop. We really enjoyed the fireworks in Harbor Springs, too!
just want to be the first and best review for this wonderful home away from home..i loved my stay,loved the sunsets,loved the place itself. cross village is a quaint place,bikes to ride and even a kayak for the adventerous! beautiful home,beautiful garden,incredible view..quiet,quaint,peaceful..thank you, owners,for sharing this wonderful hideaway. i loved every minute,and hope to come again!!

To dispel any rumors neither of these two attractive dogs is the HoundDog
In New Year, New Dish, New Media, Andrew Sullivan announces he will be leaving The Daily Beast and taking The Dish to a new blogsite. Starting on February 1, 2013, Andrew Sullivan and his founding team of Patrick Appel, and Chris Bodenner, will be supported only by reader's subsriptions of $19.95 per year. The new location will be the original site of www.andrewsullivan.com
When I first stumbled into blogging over 12 years ago, it was for two reasons: curiosity and freedom. I was curious about the potential for writing in this new medium; and for the first time, I felt total freedom as a writer. On my little blog, I was beholden to no one but my readers. I had no editor to please, no advertiser to woo, no publisher to work for, no colleagues to manage. Perhaps it was working for so long in old media that made me appreciate this breakthrough so much. But it still exhilarates every day.
Sullivan recounts his own inspiring history as part of this remarkable evolution of interactive blog sites of the sort we are developing here. From the start, he has struggled to make the finances work. After doing it on his own, for his first six years with only two pledge drives, he then linked up with Time, the Atlantic, and finally, the Daily Beast," for the next six years.
Sullivan credits The Beast for enabling him to add an additional staffer, two paid interns, and helping him set up video.
And so, as we contemplated the end of our contract with the Beast at the end of 2012, we faced a decision. ... we felt more and more that getting readers to pay a small amount for content was the only truly solid future for online journalism. And since the Dish has, from its beginnings, attempted to pioneer exactly such a solid future for web journalism, we also felt we almost had a duty to try and see if we could help break some new ground.
The only completely clear and transparent way to do this, we concluded, was to become totally independent of other media entities and rely entirely on you for our salaries, health insurance, and legal, technological and accounting expenses.
So last week the three of them set up Dish Publishing LLC to strike out on their own.
Andrew Sullivan's very long and informative post contains many intertesting facts, such as:
- His average reader spends 17 minutes a day on the Dish.
- As of February 1 he will revert to his old URL - www.andrewsullivan.com
- Readers alone will sustain the new site - 'no venture capital, (and) no advertising.'
- Best line "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product being sold."
- Advance membership of the Dish for $19.99 a year,
- Sullivan works 365 days a year.
- He produces 240 posts a week (13,000 separate posts last year alone)
- His team reads 90,000 emails a year.
- He may start a "monthly tablet magazine" called "Deep Dish."
- The new Dish will have some free access charge to go beyond a pay wall.
If you wish to be a founding subscriber the link is:
Good luck Andrew and team Dish. We hope your new endeavor is successful and you continue to blaze an inspirational trail for emerging writers throughout the "tubz."

Universities have to create a situation to nourish researchers
To take up issue of collaboration with India with Fermilab directorJoint research activities on de-zero experiment onMIPP experiment being done with participation of two Indians
KOZHIKODE: India needs to focus more on pure research in addition to giving emphasis to applied research such as Information Technology if major scientific breakthroughs are to be made in the future, according to Rajendran Raja, India-born U.S. scientist of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Illinois.
In an exclusive interview to The Hindu here recently, Dr. Raja said the Indian mind was too much software and theory oriented, while most developed nations were concentrating on pure research. "Pure research is where science grows. It has given rise to applications right from the transistor to the World Wide Web. Indian universities have to create a situation to nourish their talented researchers so that they can be employed in the universities to reverse the brain drain," said Dr. Raja, one of the scientists who discovered the "top quark," which is one of the six sub-structures of protons.
Quarks are fundamental matter particles, which are constituents of protons, neutrons and hadrons. The other five quarks are "up," "down," "charm," "strange" and "bottom." Dr. Raja was here after attending the ninth workshop on `High Energy Physics Phenomenology' at Bhubaneshwar, Orissa, from January 3 to 14. He is the son of late P.K.S. Raja of the Zamorin family. Dr. Raja said a major topic of discussion at the workshop was the proposal to set up an Indian Neutrino Observatory. It would be on the lines of the Super Kamioka in Japan and the Canadian Experiment - Subbury Neutrino Observatory at Ontario. One of the possible sites of the underground observatory was near Udhagamandalam (Ooty) in Tamil Nadu. "The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research is taking the lead in the project. The observatory will have a 50-kiloton detector. The cost will come up to $150 million."
Dr. Raja is also the spokesman of the Main Injector Particle Production (MIPP) experiment at Fermilab. He said the establishment of the observatory would enable Indian scientists to participate in world class experiments performed in India. It would also require international cooperation.
Neutrino observatories are built underground to shield the cosmic rays. Besides, they do not need accelerators. Developed nations began to focus on research based on neutrinos after the discovery of neutro oscillations in 1998 by Japanese and U.S. collaborators. The Nobel Prize for this effort was awarded to Ray Davis and Toshi Koshiba.
Dr. Raja, who will be leaving for the U.S. on January 24, will take up the issue on the need for Indian universities to collaborate with Fermilab with its director Pier Oddone. "We need to carry on the dialogue with Indian physicists and see whether we can engage students for research. It will be a win-win situation for both New Delhi and Washington, " he said.
The Fermilab was carrying forward the research activities on de-zero experiment with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Punjab University and Delhi University.
The proposed Large Hadron Collider at Cern, Geneva, which would begin to function in 2008, would be seven times more powerful than the Tavetron at Fermilab.
Dr. Raja has worked with renowned physicist Otto Robert Frisch, who derived the term nuclear fission in the early 1970s. They were then at the Trinity College, Cambridge.
He then went to Fermilab in 1975. He has published over 300 research papers .
