First individual Chinese tourists arrive in Taiwan
TAIPEI, Taiwan—The first individual Chinese tourists arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday amid steadily warming ties between the two sides that split amid civil war more than six decades ago.
Previously, Chinese tourists could only travel to Taiwan in groups, reflecting fears that without supervision they would overstay their standard 15-days visas, primarily to take advantage of the self-ruled island's relatively lucrative job market.
The first plane from China carrying individual tourists landed at Taipei's Songshan Airport around 10 a.m. (0200 GMT) after a short hop from Shanghai. Earlier another group had flown into the central Taiwanese city of Taichung following a short plane ride from the offshore Taiwanese island of Qinmen. That group, numbering about a dozen, had traveled to Qinmen by boat from the southern Chinese city of Xiamen.
Tuesday's individual tourist arrivals emphasize Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou's continuing efforts to forge closer China relations. The two sides split amid civil war in 1949.
During his three years in office, Ma has lowered tensions across the 100-mile (160-kilometer)-wide Taiwan Strait to their lowest level in six decades, leveraging expanding trade relations and increasing face-to-face contacts to turn the corner on his predecessor's pro-independence policies.
Despite the improving ties, Beijing continues to claim the island as part of its territory and remains committed to bringing about unification by persuasion if possible, by force if necessary.
Arriving at Songshan Airport on the flight from Qinmen, 43-year-old tour agency manager Ma Zhiqiang said he was looking forward to his visit as an individual, rather than in a group.
"When I came with a tour group before, we didn't have enough time to explore Taiwan," he said. "Now as an individual I'll be able to see more aspects of the island and get greater enjoyment out of the food and shopping."
Taiwanese officials say they hope increasing Chinese tourist arrivals will lead to a wider Chinese appreciation of Taiwan's democratic society, which contrasts markedly with the one-party system on the mainland. To encourage the trend Taiwanese lawmakers have even opened the island's legislature to Chinese visitors, though with better known attractions like Mount Ali and Sun Moon Lake vying for their time, it remains unclear how many will take them up on the offer.
Last year 1.6 million Chinese tourists visited Taiwan, adding some 61 billion New Taiwan dollars ($2 billion) to the island's coffers. Travel agencies say individual Chinese visitors will add another NT$5 billion ($172 million) during the remainder of 2011.

I can easily afford to get it, I spent loads of hours in L4D and got more than my money's worth. It's the principle for me, it's the fact that Valve have underperformed with L4D. TF2 is still getting new content, at this stage I'll most likely be avoiding it, unless it magically comes in at a sub $20 price point at which time I may consider it but I'd still be very annoyed by the structuring of this sequel.
Have you read anything and did some research?
Neither l4d and l4d2 are developed by 'real' Valve, the team that works on l4d probably started working on l4d2 after they finished l4d.
Valve will probably work on ep3 and some other games.

As a fixture of the South East dining scene for more than 35 years we serve modern European cuisine and aim to deliver great value with our fixed-price lunch and dinner menus alongside a comprehensive a la carte menu.
After 40 years in the business Paul and Penny are going to take a bit more of a back seat and let our experienced team led by Chef Clive Lowe, take the lead.
Don't worry we will still be around just sharing our time between PAULS RESTAURANT, STAY 2A and our new B& B venture, THE BEACH, in Hythe and of course increasing grandchildren!
Clive has been cooking the menu at Pauls for over 5 years and will continue in the same way with a few innotive ideas of his own!
The Gypsy Tart, along with all the other desserts will stay be made by Penny with help from the long suffering Sue!! (with us for 24 years)
Our Desserts trolley offers an excellent choice of puddings to satisfy any sweet toothed fanatic whilst our Sunday Carvery lunch is a regular sell out so we recommend that you reserve your table in advance.
If you have any Food Allergies and Intolerances please speak to a member of our staff before ordering if you would like to know about our ingredients
What makes Pauls Restaurant different?
In a nutshell, we keep it honest and simple.
For a start there is no cover charge, so the warm homemade bread and ice-cold water we serve to your table is on us. And the wine? We stock a respectable 75-bin wine list of well-chosen bottles from around the globe, and no matter whether the wine is valued at £10.00, or £100.00, we only ever charge approx. £8.00 – £10.00 on top the wholesale price that we buy it in at.
Visit Stay2a.com to view our boutique hotel style bed and breakfast rooms above the restaurant or The Beach at Hythe for our most recent B&B adventure on the seafront.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Hmmm... John Sexton likes to caution people not to try to guess at what Adams would think about x or y. But I'm not sure he'd agree with "realist" either, David. His philosophy was to create a print that conveyed what he "saw and felt" and called most of his images/prints departures from reality.
Just throwing another wrench in
Interestingly though, the "departure from reality" concept kind of brings us full circle in the thread, back to the original idea that even concerning "realistic" or f64 subject matter, prints containing areas (even large areas) of pure black or white are perfectly ok as long as they serve the photographer's purpose/aesthetic (as opposed to being unintentionally necessary due to poor technique).

Skype harnesses the power of communication and technology to connect people every day. But for some organizations, it's a lifeline for reuniting families torn apart and displaced by war and other life-threatening conflicts.
The Social Good blog recently focused on one such organization, Refugees United, a small but scrappy tech non-profit of 20 employees whose mission is to reconnect separated families around the world. Through their website, family members can easily search for missing loved ones from a database of more than 185,000 profiles. If and when they're found, Refugees United helps bring them together through email, phone calls and Skype.
A mobile network is also instrumental in allowing the organization to register people into their database, — even in refugee camps with no Internet access and places where computers are scarce. While they might use cellphones and tablets at first to touch base with their previously lost family, the refugees have been able to later gain access to Internet cafes or borrowed computers. That's when Skype becomes their primary mode of communication.
Refugees United co-founder David Mikkelsen has witnessed many special moments when families find each other again. "Everyone has the right to know where their family is. When we have families see each other for the first time on Skype, it's heartbreaking in a very good way, in a very good sense. Somehow a picture really speaks a thousand words and it just becomes so real for them."

Student Teachers Travel Down Under
By Ben Jipson
OCT. 9, 2006--Last summer, a group of 13 student teachers from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls traveled to Australia for a eight-week student teaching experience led by teacher education Professor Gayle Ward, a former 30-year resident of Australia.
Student teachers included: Cassie Ludwig of St. Cloud, Minn., Kalin Richardson of St. Paul, Molly Yoch of Lake Elmo, Minn., Kristen Kopp of Maiden Rock, Katie Stigen of St. Paul, Shelby Tritz of Burlington, Tricia Cherek of Wausau, Lindsay Schlosser of Durand, Laura Braun of St. Cloud, Libby Ribar of White Bear Lake, Minn., Sara Gliniany of S. St. Paul, Micaela Kavanagh of Cedar Grove and Kate Bazan of Northfield, Minn. Accompanying the group were Ward's two children, Teagan and Harrison, and her husband, Richard, the group's appointed cook.
Teaching down under was very different, said the teachers-in-training. "The things we did over there were totally different than the techniques here," said Kavanagh, comparing teaching styles between the American and Australian classrooms.
One of the big differences is that every corner of the classroom is designed to keep students focused on productive tasks to keep them from acting inappropriately. "The kids were so polite," said Gliniany.
Teaching styles and procedures were different as well. Unlike having lesson plans set several weeks in advance, the teachers in Australia didn't make plans for the next day's class until the current class was done. The style allowed more adaptability, but for the student teachers, it was difficult to get used to at first. "It was like taking off one hat and putting on another," Kavanagh said.
It wasn't just the children who were getting an education in the classroom. Kavanagh admitted that although she was doing the teaching, she learned just as much as she taught her students.
Each student teacher was assigned a host teacher, and the host teachers would let the student teachers run the classrooms while offering guidance along the way. According to the group, the host teachers were more than accommodating all throughout the trip. Besides being extremely helpful in the classroom, host teachers even made efforts to get to know students on a personal level outside of the classroom by inviting the students into their homes for meals or taking them on nearby sightseeing adventures. "I think we really got to see life as a local while we were there," Gliniany
Most of the eight weeks were devoted to teaching, but the group had several opportunities to tour and sightsee most of Australia. While in Queensland for the first part of the trip, students enjoyed snorkeling and scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and trekked into the Australian rainforest. The group then headed west through the Outback to see Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Rottnest Island. Other activities included seeing the ancient stromatolites, kayaking and watching a corroboree--an assembly of Aborigines singing and dancing.
Ward enjoyed herself tremendously and was proud of the students' teaching performances abroad," said Ward. "I loved that they were such outstanding student teachers at the five schools where they were placed. They impressed their cooperating teachers by their eagerness to learn new ideas about education and the Australian culture."
Most of the students are elementary education majors, but all are a part of UW-RF's Early Childhood Certification program, which is designed for students who want to teach kindergarten and pre-kindergarten.
Ribar encouraged anyone in the ECC program to take advantage of this opportunity when it is offered again. "It's an experience that you can't get in the states," she said.
Ward said she has already begun planning another student trip to Australia in two years, and interested students have started submitting applications for some time now.

Hello, in this series of posts, I will cover an end-to-end scenario of bare-metal provisioning using System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1 or R2. Bare-metal provisioning is a feature of SCVMM allowing rapid and consistent deployment of Hyper-V servers in your environment. Bare-metal deployment with SCVMM has many parts and components that interact with each other. In this first part, I provide an overview of the different pieces and discuss the pre-requisites for a successful deployment in your environment.
First, let's walk through the list of pre-requisites in order to accomplish this.
As described in the following graph, the bare-metal provisioning in SCVMM begins when the SCVMM Management server triggers the bare-metal deployment on a Hyper-V host by communicating with the host's BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) using the IPMI or SMASH protocols. This powers-on the server. From there, the process is as follows:
The next post is in this series discusses how to configure the DHCP Server service in Windows Server to provide PXE / WDS integration.
Till next time.

SB: Hoyt's slam paces Dragons to HHC lead
May 2, 2014By Andrew Smith of New Palestine High School
New Palestine exploded in the fifth inning to beat Shelbyville 12-0 and take the Hoosier Heritage Conference softball lead.
Issy Hoyt hit a grand slam to key the nine-run fifth inning that allowed the Dragons to win with the mercy rule.
The fourth-ranked Dragons pounded 13 hits against the Bears. They broke through with three runs in the fourth to break a scoreless tie, and then added nine more.
In addition to her grand slam, Hoyt also hit a double and scored twice. Casey Lehman was 3-4 with an RBI to help pace the attack. Markie Wood was 3-4 with a run and two RBI. Mary Crumlin also had two hits and drove in two runs. Abby O'Connor, Madison Whitaker and Brittany Duncan all each had a hit.
Kaylin McMurray threw a complete-game two-hit shutout, striking out five batters.
The Dragons (13-2, 4-0 HHC) next play Monday at Rushville. The Dragons' victory knocked Shelbyville from the HHC lead, leaving NP and New Castle (1-0) as the lone conference unbeatens. NP has three conference games left - against Greenfield-Central, Delta and New Castle.

Thank you so much for our "Scout for a day" trip, it turned out to be the highlight of our holiday. We were pretty nervous before leaving but soon realised we didn't need to be! Thomas was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, and kept us entertained through the evening.
I had a fantastic time on the North to South expedition across the Finnmark plateau. Thomas was a true professional and I felt like I was in very safe hands. I would do it again in a heart beat. Throughly recommend to anyone with an adventurous spirit. Thank you.

Kiefer Sutherland is slithering into a very different role.
"Metal Gear Solid" creator Hideo Kojima said Thursday the "24" star will play protagonist Snake in the next installment of the stealth video game series.
The character has been portrayed in the "Metal Gear Solid" games by voice actor David Hayter since the original was released in 1998.
PHOTOS: Kiefer Sutherland Through The Years
Kojima says because "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" takes place in 1984, it requires an actor who can convey the facial and vocal qualities of a 49-year-old version of the super-soldier.
"We're taking on some very heavy subjects, such as race and revenge," Kojima said Thursday in an online video streamed by "Metal Gear Solid" publisher Konami, ahead of next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
PHOTOS: Primetime Hunks: The Hottest Guys On Television!
"I wanted Snake to have a more subdued performance, expressed through subtle facial movements and tone of voice rather than words," Kojima said.

Jay Weatherill, the Premier of South Australia, one of the six states that make up the Commonwealth of Australia, is in India on a mission of engagement. Other than mining and energy, aerospace and defence, education, training and clean technology figure in his plans, he told Sachin P Mampatta in an interview. Excerpts:
What are your expectations from this visit?
This is my first visit. So most of it is building relationships and meeting people. But we certainly do expect that there will be a number of arrangements that would flow from our visit.
What discussions you have had with companies so far?
We are interested in encouraging Indian companies to look at our iron-ore reserves in South Australia and potential steel making resources. We have also signed a memorandum of understanding with a company for exploring technologies for manufacturing solar panels in South Australia.
India has been spending a great deal on defence in recent times, what opportunities are you exploring in the sector?
One company from Adelaide, which has an office in India is called Codan. It is involved in a range of defence and security technologies, including radio and communications. We also have expertise in land-based systems and electronics including armoured vehicles, naval systems and systems integration. We also have some capabilities for fabrication of aircraft.
What opportunities are you exploring in clean technology?
South Australia has a strong reputation for action in relation to clean technology. We've got a target of 33% of our power coming in through renewable energy sources by 2020. We are keen on developing technology to help us do that. That's why we're looking to partner with Indian companies to grow the sector which is already a substantial sector in South Australia.

Rare athlete deaths spur sickle cell trait testing
WASHINGTON Thousands of families carry the gene that causes sickle cell disease and don't know it – even though almost every newborn today is tested for what's called "sickle cell trait," and starting this summer more college athletes are getting tested, too.
Spurred in part by rare but tragic collapses of athletes from overexertion, work is beginning to find families missed by newborn screening or who didn't understand that sickle cell trait has ramifications: Aside from sports safety, if both parents carry the gene they could have a baby with full-fledged sickle cell disease, a devastating blood disorder.
In late June, the NCAA recommended that colleges and universities test student-athletes, many of whom were born before widespread newborn screening. The move helped settle a lawsuit from the family of a 19-year-old freshman football player at Rice University, Dale Lloyd II, who died from sickle cell trait complications during a conditioning workout in September 2006.
"Athletes should be tested but so should everybody else," says Dr. Lakshmanan Krishnamurti of the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, whose sickle cell program, prompted by the NCAA recommendation, is preparing to offer testing for anyone in that city's schools, both high school and college.
"There is a lack of awareness all around," adds Krishnamurti, who spearheaded a separate effort to improve notification of new parents. "It's really quite a travesty."
Don't misunderstand: Sickle cell disease demands immediate treatment for babies, and state testing programs make tracking down those families a priority. About 80,000 Americans have sickle cell disease, in which oxygen-carrying hemoglobin clumps inside red blood cells, turning them into a sickle shape that can't squeeze through tiny blood vessels. That causes pain, infections and eventually life-threatening organ damage.
Sickle cell trait is different. More than 2.5 million Americans have it, meaning they carry one copy of the abnormal hemoglobin gene, not the two needed to cause full disease. Trait carriers only occasionally experience health problems, like blood in the urine, some blood clumping at high altitudes and the athletes' risk – in which intense exercise can cause blood cells to sickle enough to block blood flow to muscles, which rapidly break down. The National Athletic Trainers Association, which also recommends athlete testing, has counted a dozen sports-related deaths since 2000 from that "exertional sickling," most of them college football players during training but also two 12-year-olds.
Testing is only half the story, cautions NATA's Scott Anderson, head athletic trainer at the University of Oklahoma. You can be a star athlete with sickle cell trait, but you and your coaches must be alert to symptoms, like cramps, and get quick treatment.
"If education and precautions don't follow the information that comes with screening, then the screening has really been done all for nothing," he says.
Sickle cell is most common in black Americans – about 10 percent have the trait – and also in people of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Central and South American ancestry. In short, almost anyone can have it.
Hence newborn screening, which many states offered in 1998 and which covered all newborns by 2006. But it was established to find disease, not generally healthy gene carriers, and specialists say there's wide variation in how aggressively the state programs notify parents about sickle trait.

"1909" is a new collection of jewelry, inspired by antiques and handmade in NYC. We make each ring to order, which takes between 4-6 weeks. In our stores, we usually stock rings in a size 6, which ship immediately. If you're in a hurry and can't wait 4-6 weeks, email firstname.lastname@example.com. We may be able to re-size one of our sample rings for an additional fee and speed things up. 1909 rings are made to order in full, half, and quarter sizes. If the size you desire is not in the drop down menu, please make a note of it during checkout.
The popularity of serpent jewelry is frequently credited to the Victorians—Prince Albert famously proposed to his Queen with a snake ring that held an emerald in the head. However, centuries before Victorian England embraced the motif as a symbol of eternal love, the serpent was worshiped as a deity, vilified as an envoy of evil, and revered as a protector of the peaceful. The appeal of this spiralling ring lies in the mutability of its meaning and the beauty of its construction: each of the two heads on the coiled gold serpent is decorated with exquisitely lifelike engraving and set with tiny glittering diamonds as eyes. Based on an English-made ring from 1860.

Leesburg man pleads guilty to distributing Oxycodone
George Washington Crane, 48, admitted to purchasing Oxycodone multiple times a week between 2008 and 2011 from sources in Washington D.C. and Baltimore, Md. Crane then took the drugs to Leesburg, where he sold the pills to high school students and recent high school graduates. He sold the drugs from both his home and car multiple times daily.
On Aug. 7, 2010, Crane sold Oxycodone to a conspirator, who then distributed the drugs to 20-year-old William Huff. Huff died the following day after injecting the Oxycodone.
The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office and the FBI's Washington Field Office collaborated in investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam B. Schwartz is prosecuting the case.
Neil MacBride, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; Valerie Parlave, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office; and Mike Chapman, Loudoun County Sheriff, announced Crane's plea Sept. 11, after U.S. District Judge Liam O'Grady accepted the deal.
Crane will be sentenced Dec. 20 and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Earthquake shakes Mexico
By Anahi Rama
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – An earthquake rattled Mexico City
on Friday with a force that sent people fleeing onto the
streets in panic and revived memories of a devastating 1985
No casualties or major damage were reported after the 9:30
a.m. quake.
"It was very short but it felt really strong," said
74-year-old Juana Ruiz in the city's Spanish colonial center,
which was devastated by the earthquake 21 years ago that killed
at least 12,000 people.
The 5.9-magnitude quake was centered in the western state
of Michoacan, about 126 miles southwest of the Mexican capital
of 20 million people, according to the U.S. National Earthquake
Information Center. Two big aftershocks followed.
"For the moment, there are no reports of emergencies. Only
panic attacks. It's minimal. No buildings fell," said a
spokesman for Mexico City emergency services.
An official in Michoacan also reported no major damage.
Mexican authorities said the epicenter was near the town of
Huetamo, on the border of Michoacan and Guerrero states.
The quake rattled leftist protesters who had blocked access
to Mexico's main tax office downtown but they pressed on with a
demonstration to highlight what they say was fraud at the July
2 presidential election.
The leftists prevented employees from entering the building
in a protest over government support for conservative candidate
Felipe Calderon, who won the vote by less than 0.6 percentage
The center of Mexico City sits on the soft bed of a drained
lake and shakes easily with earthquakes.
Students at the capital's UNAM university, the biggest in
Latin America, ran out of the library in fear.
"I went out as well. I didn't want to die in the library,
squashed by books," said anthropology student Hector Parra.
Some hospitals in Mexico City evacuated patients who were
able to walk but there was no full-scale evacuation.
Office worker Lucero Martinez, 48, went through the 1985
earthquake and said Friday's was not big in comparison.
"You get scared but after going through such a strong one
nothing frightens you as much," she said outside her office in
the city center.
Some 2.6 million people poured out of buildings in the
capital last September in an evacuation drill to mark 20 years
since the 1985 earthquake, which laid waste to parts of the
city center.
Civil protection officials say Mexico City is better
prepared now for an earthquake and has stronger buildings and
rescue teams with state-of-the art communications.
The 1985 disaster spawned a host of protests and the
formation of citizens' groups angry at the government's weak
rescue efforts. Historians say that helped put Mexico on the
path to ending 71 years of one-party rule at presidential
elections in 2000.

Orlandi and Catherine Bremer)
