#01 The Good Wife
CBS's The Good Wife is easily one of the best network dramas out there, and usually the Academy notice the brilliance of the court room dram. Nominated for a number of Emmys in its 5 year run, this year the Julianna Margulies led drama was left out of the Best Drama category. Now granted it's a tough category to squeeze into, with Breaking Bad, Mad Men, True Detective, and Game of Thrones all putting our brilliant seasons. But the 5th season of The Good Wife was an extremely good one, with its lead cast delivering masterful performances, the writing giving belting out spectacular story-arcs, and of course leading up to the shocking twist that left most fans crying their eyes out.
#02 Parks And Recreation
The mockumentary style comedy is one of the most under appreciated shows on television today, although the Academy usually gives them at least a nod in the Lead Actress category and the Best Comedy category, this year however although Amy Poehler was given another nomination for her extremely hilarious portrayal of council woman Leslie Knope, the show wasn't shown any Emmy love.
#03 The Americans
Okay, even I'll admit, the first season of FX's spy drama The Americans is a little slow. But season 2 stepped it up in a big way, showing off its dark and violent nature beautifully. It seems the Academy will continue its trend of snubbing high quality FX dramas like its done in the past with Sons Of Anarchy, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and others. Alright, that may explain, why it didn't get a nod for Besr Drama series, but what about Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys? Both have given consistently stellar performances (Russel more so) and were once again ignored.
#04 Michael Sheen for portraying of Dr William H Masters in Masters of Sex
First of all Masters of Sex wasn't nominated, which is still acceptable. But Michael Sheen's dark portrayal of William Masters not getting acknowledgement is just a travesty. He received a Golden Globe nomination earlier this year, and his performance through the course of the season has been getting better and better.

#05 Tatiana Maslany for portraying various characters in Orphan Black
This has been the most curious omission yet. Maslany plays literally more than 5 characters on the BBC show, each having their own distinct traits and mannerisms. Time and time again she manages to slip into the skins of her characters and flawlessly give us a different flavour each week. In fact, the latter seasons have focused more and more on the differences between the clones she plays, forcing Maslany to dig deeper and showcase more of her acting prowess.
#06 James Spader for portraying Raymond 'Red' Reddington in The Blacklist
Over the years, the Academy has shown much love to Spader, a three time Emmy winner for his portrayal of loose moraled layer Alan Shore. However in a show where he has been showing us varrying levels from ruthless killer to father like protector, his turn as FBI's most wanted Reddington has apparently garnered no attention.
#07 John Slattery for portraying Roger Sterling in Mad Men
How is Jonn Hamm nominated by John Slattery isn't? Although he's been nominated in previous years, and not won a single award, the Academy always had the sense to award his brilliant performance as the silver foxed Roger Sterling with at least a nod. Doesn't seem to be the case this year.
#08 Community
I think that this is the worst shun the Academy could ever do. Even How I Met Your Mother got its share of love. This is one of the most intriguing, witty and completely original shows out there. The writing is top notch, the acting is stellar (particularly that of Danny Pudi and Donald Glover) and the show as a whole should have gotten a chance in the Best Comedy category. It seems that getting saved from the recent cancelation is all the good luck Community can muster.

Jan. 22 will be the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade. In this period some 55 million babies have been aborted. Abortion is like an evil, never-receding tsunami that has swept through our land, leaving in its wake enormous dissension and heartache. Unfortunately, in the next four years we will see a ramped-up version of this holocaust.
The senseless, insane killing of 20 innocent children and six adults in Newtown, Conn., is beyond our understanding. It violates every ethical and moral standard that we have held dear. Our hearts and sympathies go out to the victims families and the residents of Newtown.
A terrible and senseless act was committed recently in Connecticut and many young lives were lost as a result. The "knee-jerk" reaction has been that we need to have more gun laws or more strict gun laws. That reaction is completely wrong.
After reading the article in Wednesday's Times, "$1M donations wanted for Obama inauguration," I am appalled and so angry. With our country in tremendous debt, Americans hungry and some homeless and Social Security being threatened, how dare President Barack Obama ask for $1 million to have parties? Why spend all this money on some parties?
Vice President Joe Biden promises gun laws to change. Whether your for it or against it, you can be sure of two things.
Thank you, city of Gainesville. On the evening of Jan. 5, I received a home security call. I got home with two city police cars and a fire truck from Station 1. The police came to check on the motion alarm in my house, and when walking outside my home, they smelled gas.
On behalf of the entire Gainesville City Schools family, we thank the Gainesville and Hall County community for the remarkable support we received during our successful quest for the state Class AAAAA football championship. We congratulate Coach Bruce Miller, his coaching staff and the team on the hard work and determination that resulted in our bringing home the championship to Gainesville.
At the December meeting of the Hall County Board of Commissioners, three commissioners demonstrated their willingness to continue to strategize behind the scenes and vote as an alliance rather than on the merit of a proposal.
Gun safety can be an issue for people who are against guns. They don't own one, and that's fine, but the media shouldn't scare them into never owning one.
A letter to The Times on Dec. 27 asked the question: How could two people produce today's population of more than 7 billion people in 9,000 or so years? Simple conservative arithmetic reveals the answer.
Thank you for clarifying the information about the new motor vehicle title fee. However, one fact about the fee has been swept under the political rug ever since it was ramrodded through the legislature with no apparent thought about how it would affect every resident: The annual ad valorem tax continues without relief for anyone who can't buy a car, whether new or used, beginning in 2013.
The recent article about buying and selling our elections was right on. What we now have as an election system is a farce. It is a playground for special-interest groups, and consequently, we get an electorate that is beholden to big money and not to the rest of us.
I have sympathy for children who will be affected by the change in Russian law concerning their adoption by Americans. However, attention should be drawn to our own children who languish in foster care waiting for their forever families. Now is the time to take action for these precious kids!
Trevor Thomas, who believes chickens and dinosaurs were "created" simultaneously, was back on his anti-evolution bandwagon in his Dec. 18 column. He should stick to writing about politics and such where he seems to adhere more closely to facts rather than continue to attack proven scientific knowledge.
As a homeowner on Lake Lanier and an Atlanta resident, I find the rapid decline in Lanier's level this year extremely frustrating. I am sympathetic to the corps' operating guidelines as it relates to our precious resource. The corps, like it or not, must supply water downstream to maintain water quality, navigational abilities and (gasp) protect endangered species. I do, however, see a lack of common sense being applied in many respects. Several major complaints come to mind every time I cross the river or look at my dock in Atlanta:
Page 40 of 80
Wal-Mart's new store on Thompson Bridge might have friendly words "Neighborhood Market" on its sign, but "Neighborhood Racket" would be a better name. A racket is an organized immoral activity for extortion; a dishonest scheme, trick, business or activity.
To the families of military veterans, men and women from every branch of the United States military and Merchant Marines on whose shoulders we now stand tall: We pause to remember that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom in country, community and family, safety and security.
I thought someone might respond to Judy Manke's letter of May 2, but since I haven't seen a response, I feel compelled to provide one.
Ah, don't you just love the sights and sounds of spring? The dew on the ground, the trees and flowers budding, and the fresh morning air? What a way to start your day!
Can you imagine what this country would do if confronted with a disease that caused 32,000 deaths in 2013 and 450 deaths so far this year in Georgia? We would expect all levels of government to mobilize, demanding billions of dollars to find a cure and a plan for prevention.
It was sad to read about the recent installation of Wal-Mart's new traffic light on Thompson Bridge Road. One could infer from our mayor's comments that he held strong objections to the installation of Wal-Mart's light. Our city's traffic issues hold precedence with the Department of Transportation over private businesses regarding placement of traffic lights.
On more than one occasion, I have taken pen to paper to offer my criticism of your newspaper. It is expected that we subscribers will do that. When a newspaper does something that I feel is commendable, I will also offer my praise as well as extending my subscription another quarter.

DFA: Alert level 1 remains in South Korea
More News from Radyo Inquirer 990AM
MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos in South Korea are still under alert level 1 as the "situation remains normal and calm" in the area, Foreign Affairs spokesperson Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez said on Wednesday.
"There are no changes… it is still peaceful in South Korea," he told Radyo Inquirer 990AM in an interview.
But the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) was prepared to assist some 40,000 Filipinos who would be at risk in case tension escalates between North and South Korea.
"Alert Level 1 means that they are on heightened alertness but if the situation worsens we will raise it to Alert Level 2 which puts them on restricted movement. Alert Level 3 [would mean] relocation and Alert Level 4 is the time we would repatriate them," said Hernandez.
The Philippine Embassy in South Korea has identified Gimhae International Airport and Busan Seaport as two of its evacuation centers, added the DFA official. Karen Boncocan, INQUIRER.net

CAO Brazilia Reviews
This is a wonderfull cigar. I have yet to find any thing close to it in taste.
General Cigar's recent acquisition of CAO is a sad thing. They have changed the MX2 and Brazilia cigar lines so drastically that I will no longer be smoking CAO cigars. I have smoked CAO's Brazilias and MX2s almost exclusively for over 10 years, but their horrible immitation of CAO's original brilliant blends are un-smokeable. Gone is the lush, oily wrapper and complex taste. General Cigar has replaced them with a very dry leaf and a one-dimensional, flavorless blend. The construction of the cigar is equally disappointing. The wrap is loose and the cigar tends to just fall apart. I cannot express how disappointed I am in what General Cigar has done to my beloved CAOs.
I am pretty much a beginner and have just started to enjoy full strength smokes but this one was really smooth and I was pleasantly surprised at how mild it felt. Burn was a little problematic at times but overall a great smoke that I would purchase again.
This is a go to smoke for me, one of my top 5. A solid 90+ across the board plus unlike the Gol I have never had a Samba fall apart.
Really enjoy these, taste is fantastic, good draw. Unfortunately 4 of the last 5 started to fall apart within the first couple of minutes. The Samba seems to hold together much better than the Gol.
I would rate the taste to 96% but the poor construction spoils it with about 80% quality. Overall, it is easily a 90% smoking experience. Rich smoke, nutty-chocolatty flavours and even, well balanced burn. Quite frankly, it is a kind of no-brainer at this price point. And what do I know, maybe I was just unlucky with the poor wrapper finish.
Great construction for a smaller cigar. Burns evenly and has a great mild taste. Inexpensive smoke, great for the 40-60 minute drive to/from work.
The burn, consistency, and full-bodied taste are fantastic. While I will take a chance and buy again, the previous 5-Pack I received were cracked around the wrapper, right beneath the label.
As far as taste, burn, appearance and draw go this cigar scores well, however the construction needs improvement. The outer leaf on this cigar is very thin and I ve had a few crack and split during the 2nd third which can really ruin a otherwise enjoyable cigar
I ve tried this brand in a sampler and this time got a box. Not disappointed. It s a well constructed and flavourful cigar - lots of smoke to let the anti cigar people know you re there! The pre-light draw is nice as is the aroma. Burned without a flaw and the price is excellent.
Nothing really grabbed me on this one and the last third was a bitter end.

Great video – well thought out controls and menus
Buy Online Panasonic DMC GH1K 12 1MP Thirds Interchangeable
I bought the GH1 as a second camera to my larger Canon system, replacing a Canon S5 IS. It was a big jump price-wise but I wanted the improved video quality I'd been reading about. I've always had Canons, so getting this camera was a personal big deal. However, I have not been disappointed. Panasonic has done a very nice job designing the camera's controls and menus. The top right layout of controls is very, very nice. Everything I like to do easily available. No more hunting for that hidden menu for exposure bracketing or the timer. And after I got the hang of the Quick Menu options, I find I'm using them a lot: very well conceived and thought out. The two things I loved about the Canon S5 IS are also part of the GH1: the articulating LCD screen and the red button on the back to immediately activate video. However, the LCD screen is more reflective in bright sun than the Canon's, so I'm forced to use the viewfinder more than I like (perfectly fine in lower light situations, both outdoors and indoors). That viewfinder is taking some getting used to but after a couple of weeks of moderate use, I've got the hang of it. The video is exactly as I'd hoped. I'm amazed at its ability to maintain focus and exposure on moving subjects. I practiced at a dog park so the camera got a good workout: lots of quick movement towards and away from me and shifts from sun to shade. The camera adjusted quickly and silently. It is, however, too heavy for one-handed use (which I was able to do with the Canon S5 IS), so I'm having to adjust to two-handed video recording; of course, that's necessary anyway to adjust the zoom. Finally the camera feels substantial and well-made.
UPDATE: I've recently returned from a week-long vacation during which I used the GH1 very heavily. Thankfully I had a second battery because about 2/3 through each day, the first battery was exhausted. A bit of a surprise as I am used to the longevity of Canon's batteries. So, a second battery is a definite must for this camera. Also, I got the Lumix G 20mm F1.7 lens as my vacation included lots of museum and cathedral visits. Fantastic lens. Obviously great in low light situations and I hardly missed the ability to zoom at all. Video's great with this lens, although the auto focus makes noise that the microphone picks up. I highly recommend this lens. And about the video, one of the main reasons I got this camera in the first place: the HD quality of the videos is fantastic. The ability to spontaneously shift from stills to video on this trip allowed me to get some wonderful action videos, which in turn I've been able to take great snapshots from. So bottom-line, after much heavy use of this camera, I have no regrets.

The high-flying, first-place Texas Rangers, leaving their fingerprints all over this year's trade deadline, have scooped up infielder Cristian Guzman from Washington as a replacement for injured second baseman Ian Kinsler.
Guzman, 32, has played second base and shortstop for the Nationals this season and, occasionally, right field. A former shortstop who came up in the Twins' organization, Guzman has lost range at second and is considered by scouts to be better suited for second base at this stage of his career. He was hitting .282 with a .327 on-base percentage for the Nationals, who are expected to assume most of the pro-rated portion of his $2.87 million salary for this year.
The Rangers, leading second-place Oakland by 8 1/2 games in the AL West, need a short-term fix at second base Kinsler, who landed on the 15-day disabled list the other day with a strained groin.

DebConf9: Satisfying Conclusion
After almost two weeks in the Spanish province of Extremadura, the free project Debian appears satisfied with the outcome and promises the next release "Squeeze" will benefit from the meeting.
For nearly two weeks, the small town of Caceres in Extremadura became center of the Debian world, around 250 project members from 35 countries attended the ninth Debian conference, with some 80 developers meeting in DebCamp prior to the main event. In over 130 sessions, Debians worked on individual projects and used the time for personal exchanges. "This has been one of the most productive conferences we have ever held," concluded a satisfied Project Leader, Steve McIntyre. "Our developers and teams achieved a great deal during this short period, and this will surely have a big impact on the upcoming release of Squeeze."
The keynote concerned the issue of the operating system's release cycle and, as to be expected, the subject was vigorously discussed (Linux Magazine Online reported). Even if the discussion still has a long way to go, it didn't stop developers announcing some Squeeze details. For example, KfreeBSD, Dash and an automatic debugger will be included in the release.
Thanks to sponsors like HP, Canonical and Google and also the local government of Extremadura Province, conference participants paid nothing or very little for food, accomodation and power. Travel costs of a few developers was also covered. Additionally, large parts of the conference were broadcast per video on the web, and can be viewed at the project website. The next DebConf is planned for New York City in 2010.

The Congress on Tuesday ruled out the possibility of any kind of tie-up with Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) as Maharashtra voted to elect its new state legislative assembly.
"We don't have any kind of tie-up with Raj Thackeray at present, we didn't have any in the past and won't have any in future as well," Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh said.
The Congress will form the government in alliance with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), he added.
"This time, the Congress will win more then 85 seats," he said, adding that the NCP would easily win 60 seats.
In 2004, the NCP had won 71 and the Congress 69 seats in the 288-member assembly, and the alliance had retained power. This time, the Congress is contesting from 174 constituencies and the NCP has fielded candidates for 114 seats.
Election results are slated to be declared Oct 22.
Keywords: Raj Thackeray, MNS, Congress-NCP, Maharashtra assembly polls, Digvijay Singh

There is no city in the U.S. named Kickapoo. Kickapoo is the name of a Native American tribe which has reservations in Texas and Kansas. Presumably the name "kickapoo" was chosen because it contains the word "poo".
EDIT: As there is no real Kickapoo Missouri, there is a Kickapoo High School in Springfield which exists (actually Brad Pitt went there). It is named after a prairie and the Kickapoo Indians, which relocated to Missouri in the 1800's.EDIT: There IS at least one town in the U.S. called Kickapoo, in Wisconsin. There is not one in Missouri, however.EDIT: Furthermore, Jack Black is not from Missouri, but grew up in Hermosa, California, and also he did not grow up in a strict Christian household, but is in fact Jewish.EDIT: There are actually 4 towns in the U.S. named Kickapoo. One in Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, and Texas.EDIT: Kickapoo is a township in Platte County, Missouri. Zip code 65077.EDIT: Kickapoo does not, in fact, have any relevance in any normal US citizen's life, and is merely a place where old people go to die. <--- You're an idiot
That's character actor John C. Reilly, a longtime friend of Tenacious D. Reilly also appeared as the Sasquatch in an episode of their HBO television show. Although he is not credited as playing Sasquatch in "Pick of Destiny", he is listed in the credits as "Sasquatch Researcher."

While political focus was on a Senate Intelligence Committee report, Congress snuck in two measures to its must-pass spending bill. NBC News reports.» Read More
Rick Santorum won the Louisiana Republican presidential primary Saturday, beating front-runner Mitt Romney in yet another conservative Southern state.
The Republican presidential race has got to end sometime, whether it's April or August. Here are five ways it could be settled.
Rick Santorum is looking to Louisiana for a much-needed rebound as Republican voters go to the polls Saturday in the state's GOP primary.
Rick Santorum says he'll support the eventual GOP nominee, if it isn't him, despite what he insists are similarities between Mitt Romney and President Obama that make them indistinguishable on some issues.
Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have been campaigning in Louisiana the hardest as they try to keep their campaigns afloat after Mitt Romney's victory in Illinois.
Adding to GOP criticism from the right, President Obama is taking it from the other side, too. Environmentalists complain his policies are not green enough.
GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul is not ready to throw in the towel and doesn't think his competitors should yet either, he told CNBC Thursday.
Discussing former Florida governor Jeb Bush's endorsement of Mitt Romney and whether the final days of the primary are coming, with Major Garrett, National Journal and Mark Halperin, Time Magazine.
This time, it was a senior aide to Romney who put his foot in his mouth -- with a comment that some said suggested the candidate could reset his positions, just like an Etch A Sketch game.
Fresh off a decisive victory in Illinois, Mitt Romney won critical establishment support from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as he looks to unite the GOP behind his candidacy.
If the U.S. and other nations took military action in Syria it would be "a seismic event" that would be "the greatest blow to Iran in 25 years," Sen. John McCain told CNBC Wednesday.
The Republican presidential candidates are running low on campaign cash as expensive primaries in states like Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania loom, leaving them increasingly reliant on "super PACs," The New York Times reportsThe New York Times reports.
There will be no knockout punch, but an increasingly confident Mitt Romney expects to tighten his grasp on the Republican presidential nomination with the Illinois primary.
Conservative Republicans controlling the House unveiled a budget blueprint Tuesday that combines slashing cuts to safety net programs for the poor with sharply lower tax rates in an election-year manifesto painting clear campaign differences with President Barack Obama.
Eager to draw a contrast with President Barack Obama on taxes and spending, Republicans controlling the House are releasing on Tuesday an election-year budget plan that would impose sharp cuts on many programs in hopes of taming trillion dollar-plus deficits, but would still fail to reach balance over the coming decade.
Campaigning in recent days in Illinois and Missouri, Rick Santorum has sought to motivate his followers by highlighting a different divide: urban versus rural, The New York Times reports.
Mitt Romney may lead in delegates and Rick Santorum might have momentum, but neither is having an easy time exciting even his own voters.
President Obama raised $45 million February for his campaign, collecting nearly twice as much as his monthly average at the end of 2011.
Contention and confusion marred various Republican caucuses in Missouri on Saturday, and one meeting was abruptly shut down, as impassioned supporters of Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul battled for an edge in the state's complicated delegate selection process.
Republicans are preparing for the possibility that their presidential nomination could be decided at their national convention rather than on the campaign trail, a prospect that would upend one of the rituals of modern politics, the New York Times reports.

Nanny beloved from Iloilo now nanny, the movie
On Aug. 24, Sajonia attended the gala premier at Marina Bay Sands Theater of the award-winning movie "Ilo Ilo," a film inspired by her eight-year employment and relationship with a Singaporean family.
"Ilo Ilo," which won the Camera d'Or (best first feature film award) in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in May, was written and directed by Anthony Chen, 29, the eldest of three boys Sajonia took care of from 1988 to 1997.
"I'm very happy that they remembered the years we were together and that this was made into a movie," Sajonia, 55, a native of San Miguel town in Iloilo province after which the movie was titled.
With Sajonia as guests of honor were Singaporean President Tony Tan Keng Yam, his wife, Mary Chee Bee Kiang, and Lawrence Wong, acting minister for culture, community and youth.
Sajonia was accompanied by her partner, Juan Taguibe.
The audience gave "Ilo Ilo" a standing ovation, captured on a video posted on its official page on Facebook.
After its screening in Singapore, the film is expected to be shown in the Philippines. It stars Filipino actor Angeli Bayani, who plays the role of Sajonia.
Singapore experience
The youngest of six children and a midwifery graduate who failed to pass the board examination, Sajonia went to Singapore in 1986 because she could not find a job in Iloilo.
She first worked as a domestic helper. After her contract expired, she went to work for the Chen family in 1988. She sent part of her earnings to her own family in Iloilo.
Aside from doing household chores, Sajonia took care of her employers' three children—Anthony, Justin and Christopher. She was closest to the youngest, Christopher, who was only a month old when she started to work for the family.
The children learned their first English words from "Auntie Terry," as they called Sajonia. She also made them listen to her cassette collections of "Miss Saigon" and "Les Miserables."
At the height of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, Sajonia returned home after her fourth two-year contract with the Chens had expired.
She also thought she was ill, only to learn later that she was experiencing menopausal symptoms.
Sajonia returned to farming and raising chickens in San Miguel, 14 kilometers southwest of Iloilo City.
For 13 years now, she has been living with Taguibe, 65, in their house in Sitio Onas in Barangay Santa Cruz, 5 kilometers from the town proper.
The Chens and Sajonia lost contact for 16 years. She wrote to the family once but she did not know that her letter never reached them because they had moved to a new place. But she kept pictures of her former wards.
"Ilo Ilo," which has been screened in various international film festivals, led to the reunion of Sajonia and the three Singaporean children, now all grown up.
Search for Auntie Terry
After his film had won the Cannes festival, he decided to find his former nanny. He traveled to the Philippines and in June he met public relations consultant Charles Lim, a Cebu-based Singaporean and chief executive officer of Selrahco Management and Consultancy Services, who offered to help him.
Lim requested media outlets in Iloilo to help trace Sajonia. But without her complete name and address, and only with photos taken when she was still in Singapore, the search took weeks.
"We do not have a television and our radio station is not working well," Sajonia said.
In July, a nephew of Sajonia in Australia recognized her picture in a Facebook post of radio station Bombo Radyo. He contacted a cousin in Iloilo who, in turn, informed Sajonia about the search for her.
"When I learned that someone from Singapore was looking for me, I was concerned that I might have done something wrong and that they would arrest me," Sajonia said.
But on July 22, Anthony and Christopher Chen quietly arrived in Iloilo City and on the next day paid a surprise visit to their Auntie Terry at her home in San Miguel.
At first, she did not recognize Anthony. "Who are you?" she asked him. But she recognized the now 24-year-old Christopher whom she last saw when he was 8.
"I embraced them and cried a little," she told the Inquirer.
The brothers took their former nanny and Taguibe to Iloilo City to shop and stay overnight in a hotel before they returned to Singapore on July 24.
Anthony said his family was overjoyed when they learned about the reunion.
"My family and I are completely overwhelmed by the goodwill coming from Iloilo and the Philippines in finding Auntie Terry. We honestly did not expect to hear any news so soon," he said in a statement.
"'Ilo Ilo' is a story about love, family and relationships, and we could never have imagined that a little film like this could reach out to connect and reconnect with those ties that we thought were long lost," the filmmaker said.
Sajonia said she had always considered her former wards her children, having none of her own. "I'm happy that they grew up well," she said.

For those dealing with Alzheimer's disease, there is no greater gift they can receive than one that provides some comfort and familiarity. Being able to tell time is an essential part of life, but many people take it for granted. Alzheimer's disease often distorts a person's perceptions, which is why having a special wall clock can come in handy. A day and date clock allows people to know the day and time without looking at a calendar, adding much needed structure and predictability to a patient's life.
Alzheimer's patients appreciate knowing the day and time because it adds some comfort, certainty, and routine. Our large print clock features easy-to-read letters and numbers so in an analog format that avoids the complications Alzheimer's patients often have with digital timepieces. Even the clock itself is large, which makes it easy to see from a distance. Besides that, this durable clock is also useful because it keeps track of leap years. These clocks for the elderly are an investment in your patient or loved one's piece of mind, restoring a simple sense of security that we frequently take for granted.

Berlusconi has been dogged by a variety of criminal court cases since he entered politics in 1994. In endless legal investigations and marathon trials he has been accused of a range of alleged crimes: fraud, tax evasion, false testimony, corruption, violation of anti-trust laws, drug-trafficking, mafia-ties and most recently for having allegedly paid for sex with an underage woman.
He has always denied wrongdoing and has often vociferously defended himself saying he is the victim of persecution by what he calls the "left-wing judges" who he believes control the courts ? especially the Milan court, where most of his cases have been heard.
He told a party rally that he had paid "billions" to defend himself in the courts. So far, four convictions have either been overturned on appeal or dropped due to the statute of limitations.
Shares in Berlusconi's media empire, Mediaset, dropped sharply on the Milan's stock market Friday with the news of his conviction.
Earlier today in Milan, there was another hearing in the so-called "Ruby" case in which Berlusconi is being accused of allegedly paying for sex with an underage woman nicknamed "Ruby" and trying to cover it up.
He rarely appears in court but in his last appearance at this trial earlier this month he again denied the accusations saying he "never had intimate relations of any kind" with Ruby or any of his female guests at the "bunga bunga" parties held at his private homes. Instead he said these gatherings were just innocent fun in which he "monopolized attention singing, talking about sports, politics and gossip."
Berlusconi is not the first former Italian prime minister to be convicted of criminal charges in recent history. Former Socialist Party leader Bettino Craxi died in "exile" in Tunisia in 2000 after a court in Italy sentenced him to a jail sentence for corruption.
Giulio Andreotti, a Christian-Democrat leader who lead seven governments over the years, was convicted of involvement in a Mafia-murder, but then cleared in appeal. Neither of these ever spent any time in jail.

Ásgeir On World Cafe
By editor
Originally published on Mon July 14, 2014 8:14 am
One in 10 people in Iceland own singer-songwriter Ásgeir's first album — the fastest-selling debut in the country's history. Its lyrics are all in Icelandic, and written by Ásgeir's father. But for the U.S. release, singer-songwriter John Grant fashioned English lyrics to go with Ásgeir's melodies.
Here, Ásgeir sings live in the World Cafe studios, a performance we originally aired on Feb. 4, 2014.
This episode was re-aired on July 14, 2014.

The New Kingdom
Egyptian art of the New Kingdom (1538–1075 B.C.E.) displays a wide variety of styles within the established artistic tradition, by this point nearly 2,000 years old. The New Kingdom includes the classical images of the warrior pharaoh Thutmose III (1479–1425 B.C.E.) but also the androgynous king, Akhenaten (1352–1336 B.C.E.). It includes relief based on Old Kingdom (2675–2170 B.C.E.) models along with more fluid depictions of both people and places. The variation in size runs from the colossal to the minute. Impassive royal sculptures from the early Eighteenth Dynasty (1539–1425 B.C.E.) contrast with Amarna period (1352–1332 B.C.E.) scenes that seem to represent a loving royal family. Art of the New Kingdom reflects a serious change in Egyptian perceptions of the world from the beginning to the end of the period.

An Immokalee soldier remembered: Linda Pierre, 28, loved her family, Army
IMMOKALEE - _wMVxRzuxfc
The brother of a U.S. Army soldier from Immokalee who was killed in Afghanistan may not make it to his younger sister's funeral.
Staff Sgt. Jean Robert Lamour is being deployed overseas to an unknown location. He could be going to Afghanistan where his sister, Sgt. Linda L. Pierre was killed last weekend.
"Even after all of this, losing my daughter, I still love the Army," Pierre's father, Jean Baptiste Lamour, said in Creole translated by Pierre's cousin, Will-Rose Etienne.
"I have nothing bad to say about the Army," Baptiste Lamour said. "This is life. This is how it happens."
The military is something both he and Pierre loved, he added.
The 28-year-old was one of five U.S. soldiers killed Saturday while they were supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Pierre, who was assigned to the 101st Special Troops Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell, Ky., died of wounds suffered when an Afghan National Army soldier attacked them with multiple grenades, according to U.S. Department of Defense reports.
Pierre, who was in her first tour overseas and had been deployed in late 2010, served as a human resource specialist helping train Afghan soldiers and was also on foot patrol, according to family members.
Baptiste Lamour, who emigrated from Haiti and has lived in the United States for 30 years, used to tell Pierre when she was growing up to join the Army.
What keeps the 59-year-old strong today is his daughter's strength and faith in God.
"She was the rock of the family," Pierre's sister, Cindy Lamour Watson, 27, said.
Nearby, Pierre's mother, Elvina Pierre, 51, held a white tissue and sobbed quietly as she remembered her daughter.
"She would expect everyone to mourn and cry, but she wouldn't want it for long because she is in a good place," said Etienne, 29, Pierre's cousin.
A funeral for Pierre is expected on April 30 in Immokalee, according to family members.
Because Lamour, the oldest of the family's five siblings, had served five tours without getting injured, Lamour Watson said, she never thought anything could ever happen to her sister.
Lamour, 30, a 2001 Immokalee High School graduate, enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating high school in 2001 and has served five tours prior to joining the Army. He is currently stationed in North Carolina and has not returned home because he's scheduled to be deployed, family members said.
Lamour Watson added that her older brother would always come back from tours trying to convince everyone to join the military.
Today, Lamour Watson said she is proud of her sister and upset while trying to find the good in it all.
Survivors include her father, Jean Baptiste Lamour; her mother, Elvina Pierre; her four brothers, Jean Robert Lamour, Kevin Tanelus, Jimmy Lamour, and David Lamour; and sister, Cindy Lamour Watson.
Pierre, also a 2001 Immokalee High School graduate, served in the Army since 2004. She joined at age 21, after attending Edison State College in Lee County for two years. She studied pre-med and was enrolled in Columbia Southern University, an online university pursuing a criminal justice degree.
Lamour Watson said her sister wanted to make the military her career.
"As strong as my sister was, when she went (to Afghanistan) her heart was touched by what she saw," Lamour Watson said.
However, Etienne said Pierre never told her that she witnessed violence in Afghanistan, even if she had.
"I think as much as we talked, she kind of sugar-coated things for me," said Etienne, who spoke with Pierre daily on Skype.
Although Pierre never spoke about being afraid, so her family wouldn't worry, Etienne said, Pierre told her she couldn't trust the people she was training.
Etienne said Pierre told her that when she rode in a convoy, where she was one of the shooters, she would close her eyes when she saw something suspicious because she didn't want to see it coming.
She recently told Etienne: "We are winning hearts and minds over here."
Pierre lived her life always pursuing her dreams. She believed that God was good to her and that freedom was not free, family members said.
Those who knew Pierre described her as both kind and generous and a reliable and positive person.
Pierre also had an adventurous side. Pierre's next adventure would have been a trip to Alaska in July, when she was expected back home. Pierre enjoyed playing softball and golfing, just like her father.
Family members said they hope to start an organization that sends care packages to the military overseas, which Pierre had wanted to do.
Almost a year ago, Naples resident Angelina Spencer met Pierre on a plane flight from Fort Myers to Atlanta.
In late November, Pierre contacted Spencer by email to say she had been deployed to Afghanistan and asked if she could coordinate a care package drive for soldiers.
Spencer contacted as many people as she knew, including at least 40 Naples residents. By Christmas, the group was able to send more than 100 care packages, including toilet paper, Silly Putty, hot sauce and other amenities.
When they were on the plane, Pierre told Spencer that what she missed the most was her mother's cooking, Spencer said. One of Pierre's favorite dish was her mother's grilled chicken, white rice and pea soup.
"She loved her family very much and her military family too," Spencer said.
Spencer said Pierre told her any of the soldiers in her brigade would take a bullet for her, just as she would for them. Only soldiers could understand that kind of commitment, Pierre told Spencer.
"What I found so outstanding in her, was that she was so proud and so strong and her faith in God was unwavering," Spencer said.
"She just felt that her calling in life was to be a solider."

Rep Power:
You have it fairly right. A bit of backwinding the main is ok. If you keep the jib in tight that is your main source of power.
However the boat will sail better not heavily heeled.
Say the wind was actually 20 that gives you close to 25 upwind. Gusts usually add up to 50%.
Your sail plan in standard sails ie jib and full main is optimised for about 15-17 knots. The force is windspeed squared ie say 256/625 =.4. That is you need 40% of the sail area, assuming you cater for gusts in other ways.
Essentially you were overcanvassed made worse by sails that are probably blown out ie too full.
You are correct that main alone going to windward will give you weather helm. Although it is influenced by hull shape it is mainly due to the balance of sail area fore and aft of the centre of lateral resistance ie the turning point of the hull.
You may be able to get the sails recut but the cloth is probably stretched so at best they would be cruising spares.
You probably need a wind gauge so you know the windspeed fairly accurately.

While EgyptAir has nine aircraft grounded as the country's air traffic demand is still to recover to pre-crisis levels, the Star Alliance carrier is closing in on decision on new widebodies in order to secure future delivery slots.
The airline is considering ordering Airbus A350s, Boeing 787s or a combination of both. The new widebodies will need to be delivered from 2018, when EgyptAir wants to retire its A330-200s. So while no decision has yet been made, chief executive Hossam Kamal says that the orders will need to be placed soon to secure the required delivery slots.
Around 70 aircraft of the planned 127-strong fleet by 2025 will be narrowbodies. EgyptAir is studying both the 737 Max and A320neo but, again, no decision has been made how the current single-aisle fleet – comprising both present-generation aircraft families – will be replaced.
The airline is also evaluating the Bombardier CSeries and Embraer 190, as it plans to implement 100-seat regional jets in future. Today, the regional arm Egyptair Express operates 12 Embraer 170s.
Out of the current 81-stong total fleet, EgyptAir has grounded nine aircraft, including its A340s and 737-500s. EgyptAir is negotiating with other airlines to lease out the three A340-200s. Selling the type is not an option, as there is no buyer market for a 260-seat aircraft with four engines, says Kamal.

"Weak", "Stagnant", and "Barely treading water," is how the nationwide economy is being painted by Kimberly Ritter-Martinez, Associate Economist for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC).
But legislators are going California Streamlining.
"The August growth reported was weaker than we had hoped to see, it was not like we expecting to see anything great anyway, the labor markets are basically stagnant, we're just barely treading water right now," said Ritter-Martinez.
The United States Department of Labor has released the employment and unemployment figures for the month of August.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
"In August, the unemployment rate was 9.1%, and the economy added a total of net zero new jobs. The government sector gave up 17,000 jobs which exactly canceled out the 17,000 jobs that were gained in the private sector," Ritter-Martinez said.
There are now 14 million people unemployed across the United States.
Yesterday, in order to tackle the second highest unemployment rate in the nation (12.4% in July) California legislators announced new measures described as "regulatory streamlining."
"I want to commend Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, Assembly Speaker John Perez, and our colleagues in the business community for prioritizing regulatory streamlining and tackling California's reputation as an unfriendly place to do business," said Bill Allen, LAEDC, Chief Executive Officer.
State legislators joined with the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Manufacturers and Technology Association to unveil a package, including SB 617, a bill that would require state agencies to review the impact of current and proposed regulations, innovation incentives, and ideas to create jobs and new businesses in California.
The LAEDC believes the complex maze of regulations and regulatory processes have consistently contributed to the perception – whether real or not – that California is one of the least business friendly states in the country.
In addition to SB 617, Speaker Perez's AB 29 would establish the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (Go Biz) as the lead agency on marketing California's business climate and strategic development of business-friendly practices.
"With our economy at a pause, and unemployment at around 12 percent statewide, the Legislature should consider all ideas in a bipartisanship fashion that seek to streamline the state's regulatory system and promote job growth, said Allen.
The LAEDC and its statewide partners are calling on Sacramento to embrace the three "As" – Accountability, Analysis of the economy, and Alternatives — when considering future regulatory reform public policy measures:
- Accountability would require state agencies to assess and report on all new major regulations every few years to determine if they are accomplishing their respective purpose.
- Economic analysis of regulations would require that all proposed major regulations (e.g., those with a potential impact of more than $10M) undergo a high-quality, standardized economic analysis.
- Consideration of all reasonable alternatives would require agencies to catalog all viable alternatives to a proposed regulation and the reasons for rejecting those alternatives.
The entire Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Report can be found by clicking here
Established in 1981, the LAEDC is an economic development leadership organization dedicated to promoting job growth, economic expansion, and the overall global competitiveness of Los Angeles County, its surrounding regions, and the state of California.

I left the exhibition pondering the merits of performance art — was it the fault of the curator that the iconic work didn't move me, or is performance art a medium that I just don't connect with? Such questions spurred me to attend All the King's Horses . . . none of his men, a performance by Dave McKenzie presented as part of Performa 13, the contemporary performance biennial running in New York until November 24. The program billed it as a "critique of African-American representations in the media," but all I saw was a well-groomed black man wearing tap dancing shoes, smearing chalk all over himself and the floor, chanting mantras, and listing the names of candy bars while he stomped his feet. The audience gave him 20 minutes before they started fidgeting. Afterward, Canal Street, with all of is garbage and glittering lights, seemed a far more interesting stage on which to experience the performative aspects of life in New York City.

Hazard Mitigation
Hazard Mitigation
Hazard Mitigation
Mitigation includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of anemergency happening, or lessen the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies. Investingin preventive mitigation steps now such as strengthening unreinforced masonry to withstandwind and flooding and installing shutters on every window will help reduce the impact ofhurricanes in the future.
To withstand the forces of wind and water associated with severe weather, there arefive major considerations:
- Elevation. Elevation of the first floor must be above the added height of the storm surge plus tide values;
- Gabled Roofs. If your roof is gabled, you need braces attaching the trusses or rafters at each end to the other truss. Also, make sure that there is wood sheathing (planks or plywood) behind stucco of the triangular gable end walls.
- Garage Doors. Garage doors should have steel bracing. If yours does not, you can attach wooden 2"x6" stiffeners running the full width of the door approximately 18" apart.
- Window Protection. Cover all windows, French doors, sliding glass doors and skylights hurricane because the doors and windows are the weakest places on your house. If these fail, the wind can rip off the roof and cause walls to collapse. Even if the structure remains intact, the wind can scour the interior and wreck the contents. Storm panels or shutters can significantly reduce damages.
- Safe Room. Identify a safe room in your home and reinforce it as necessary.
