Open Access initiatives have been taken in Portugal since 2004 with the establishment of an OA self-archiving repository at University of Minho, followed by the 1st Open Access conference in 2005. In 2005 the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), a cooperative electronic scientific journal collection library was established between Latin America, Spain and Portugal. There are now 37 institutional and subject repositories in Portugal with 50+ OA journals indexed in DOAJ.
Enabling Environment:
Portugal in a participant in Southern European Libraries Link (SELL). The Conference of Rectors of the Portuguese Universities (CRUP) signed the Berlin Declaration in 2007 and Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) Portugal's open access Science Repository established in 2008 that supports the OA environment in the country.
Major Projects/Initiatives:
Repositories Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)
Provides support to repositories through the following services: a national portal that indexes material; SARI a central infrastructure facility enabling institutional repositories to develop; a Repositories Validate, based on DRIVER guidelines that maintains standardisation. RCAAP also produces guidelines through an Open Access Policies Kit and uses social networking sites with pages on Facebook and Twitter.
University of Minho is in partnership with OpenAIRE
In a three-year project, will establish the infrastructure for researchers to support them in complying with the EC OA pilot and the ERC Guidelines on Open Access.
National and Institutional Level Policies/Mandates:
No national mandate exists at present, but there is a recommendation by CRUP (Conference of Rectors of the Portuguese Universities), and it is also a signatory to Berlin Declaration.
Thematic Open Access projects/Initiatives
- Wildrepositorium (formerly Portuguese Wildlife Society) has a wildlife themed OA repository.
- Repositório Científico do Instituto Nacional de Saúde (National Institute of Health) is the repository of public health sciences.
Past and Future OA Related Activities:
- Portugal has held successful and influential conferences on OA.
- Open Access week events and seminars aimed at promoting OA awareness are coordinated through University of Minho.

The partially assembled Delta II rocket (right) and the gantry (left) wait for the rocket's second stage to be transported to the launch pad. The Delta II rocket will launch the Aqua-EOS satellite. Aqua is one of a series of spacebased platforms that are central to NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE), a long-term study of the scope, dynamics and implications of global change. The Aqua program is composed of Aqua and other spacecraft (including Terra and Aura) and a data distribution system (ESDIS, and Mission Operations Center Implementation Team). Flying in an orbit that covers the globe every 16 days, Aqua will provide a six-year chronology of the planet and its processes. Comprehensive measurements taken by its onboard instruments will allow multidisciplinary teams of scientists and researchers from North and South America, Asia, Australia and Europe to assess long-term change, identify its human and natural causes and advance the development of models for long-term forecasting. Launch is scheduled for April 26 from Vandenberg
Topics: Space technology, Spaceflight, Spacecraft, Launch Services Program, Aura, Launch pad, Earth Observing System, Terra, Aqua, Delta II, Boeing, Rocket, Environment, Technology Internet

I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
from Kanye West (Ft. Kid Cudi & Raekwon) – Gorgeous Lyrics on Genius
Kanye felt being a rapper would be one field where racial discrimination wouldn't be an issue, as rap has been a predominantly black genre.
While "field" primarily means profession here, and being "sacked" is slang for being fired, Kanye uses a football metaphor, as quarterbacks get sacked on football field.
And especially since racism is Kanye's focus throughout the song, a potential third meaning of field (triple entendre!) may also be the place where slaves toiled. Kanye is trying to escape those slave fields, but by recognizing that he nonetheless did choose a field, he is admitting that in some ways he's still playing their game and taking a sacking in the form of being constantly criticized over the course of his career (especially after Taylor-gate)
Ironically, Kanye rapped about sacking MCs in his debut verse as a professional rapper.

While the ESPN Body Issue was something of a covered treat, I'd suggest that the finest female athletes in the world today are the fine ladies who each week put their chests to the tests in the Battle of the Boobtastic. It's easy to ride a motorbike or snowboard sort of nekkid, but try pressing your mammaries into the field of battle against an equally pert and delicious pair, for all the world to judge. Now that's a real sporting contest.
This week's challenge places blonde Irish lass Emily O'Hara against the truly award winning talents of Kelly Hall, two veteran Page 3 girls with an axe to grind, err, bishop to polish? Something like that. The point is, both of these young ladies have superbly fine bosoms that you must now evaluate in terms of size and shape and suppleness, and, in a more perfect world, taste. One will win, one will go home in tears though cry only until they look once more in the mirror and realize how groovy hot they are. So, who's ta-ta's reign supreme?

Looking for a mid-tower chassis that offers a big bang for a small buck? Thermaltake hopes to win us over on those claims with its Armor A90, a chassis built from the ground up with military-like design cues in mind, and also one that includes numerous convenience features, superb airflow, and a modest $90 pricetag.
It seems that in today's world, war not only sells, it sells extremely well. First person shooters are more popular than ever and there are millions of online soldiers out there just itching to pull the trigger. While game developers have been quick to capitalize on this trend, peripheral manufacturers have been slow to adopt. Just as in real-life war, shooting first gets the kill and the victory.
When Cooler Master developed its CM Storm line of products, we finally got some seriously good war-themed products. We reviewed the company's two chassis models last year, the Scout and the Sniper. Both carried out the theme well and I was certain there would be other makes throwing their respective hat into the ring… but nothing materialized. It seemed like the war was over before it even began!
Thermaltake, arguably one of the oldest and largest manufacturers, has jumped into the fray by releasing the Armor A90. Even the name screams "weapon" and just a quick glance at the all black exterior shows it is planning on bringing a gun to a water balloon fight. The sharp-angled edges and large expanses of mesh further enhance the look and feel of military hardware.
The PC chassis has made some serious strides over the last 5 years and consumers are extremely demanding and expect a huge bang for every buck. Most don't wish to mod their own design and even fewer are willing to sacrifice performance as well as expecting noise to be kept down to a whisper. Engineering and designer jobs have become tougher than ever and there is little room for error. So let's get the A90 out of the box and onto the bench and put it through its paces and see just how well Thermaltake has planned its latest assault on the chassis world.
Seemingly as usual, UPS was kind enough to test the protective packaging of the box while shipping our review sample to us. Everything was in fine shape inside the box save for the 5.25″ bay cover which was missing. The large Styrofoam pads took a few shots with ease and the plastic covering prevented any surface marring. The front of the case uses a strong angled pattern reminiscent of a Stealth Fighter.
With the door open you get a better look at the external expansion bay area. There are accommodations for three 5.25″ devices as well as one external 3.5″ bay. To the right of the door is the I/O panel with two USB ports as well as microphone and headphone jacks. Next up are the HDD activity LED, system power indicator LED as well as a recessed reset button are below the I/O area. The power button is the diamond shaped area beneath the 3.5′ bay on the right.
A quick tug on the bottom of the front panel is all it takes to pop it off to expose the front 120mm intake fan which also sports blue LEDs. There is room for dual 120mm fans and you can also configure it with one large 200mm fan. With 6 hidden 3.5″ HDD bays right behind this area, your drives will get plenty of fresh cool air drawn over them.
On to the right side panel we see the sharp angle theme is carried through with a small window included as well as an optional 120mm cooling fan location. It should be noted that this fan opening was well thought out and kept down low as to not interfere with any tall CPU coolers on the market. This has been a problem for most cases with a fan in this area.
The left side panel is also stamped with the theme and is otherwise as one would expect. I want to point out that the edges of the panels are double rolled and there is little flex. The stronger they make these panels the more they are able to silence internal noise so another thumbs up here.
I was happy to see that Thermaltake choose to stamp the top panel as well as recessing the grating for the exhaust fan. Also included up here are two more USB ports as well as an eSATA port. It is very noteworthy to point out that there is a ton of space between the ports so that even large USB devices will not interfere with the ability to use all the ports.
Once looking down on the bottom, we see that there was plenty of attention paid to the power supply venting area. Large rubber feet keep it up high enough to allow plenty of airflow when you mount your power supply to pull fresh air in from below. Also note the large vent openings on the bottom of the front panel to channel even more airflow in through.
Looking closer at the power supply area we get to see the easily removable filter screen to help reduce dust intake into your power supply. This is an often overlooked option and is very welcome to those of us (especially me) who have a dusty home.
On the backside we see the standard ATX layout. Ample venting as well as vented PCI slot covers allows that much more heat to flow out of the case. There are punched holes for water lines to pass through to the outside should you choose.
On the inside we will take a clockwise tour of the various areas. The rear 120mm exhaust fan is of the silent type and the extra large holes in the grating means low turbulence for ultra low noise. This fan uses a three pin motherboard style connector for power.
Up top is a huge 200mm unit sporting blue LEDs. Should you choose, you can replace this fan with a single 120mm fan as well. This fan uses a Molex style power connector.
The 5.25′ expansion bays are a tool-less design and a quick pull on the tab unlocks the holder to allow you to slide in your drives. The tabs lock the drives in very securely as well.
All six internal 3.5″ bays use the same style tab design for quick installation of your drives. While there is really no vibration or sound dampening features built in, your drives are held very securely and I noticed no wayward noises from this area when the PC was powered up and running.
There is a ton of room to allow the largest power supply made ample breathing room. The adjustable bracket is easily moved to securely lock your power supply into place. This is one of the first chassis I have ever used that you could actually leave the PSU unscrewed and yet it would be held very firmly in place.
The I/O panel wiring is straightforward to use and labeled clearly. There is plenty of length no matter where your particular motherboard has its headers. We get two for the 4 USB ports, the eSATA connection, and one for sound that accommodates both HD and AC97 style motherboards.
With the rear side panel off, we see that there is no room allowed for wiring to run behind the motherboard. Thermaltake instead chose to use the space behind the 3.5″ bays as a cavity to house any extra wiring you should need to store. This does make it awkward to run the CPU power wire, but all the rest of the system wiring has plenty of hiding space.
The included hardware package is devoid of any zip ties which is really a pet peeve of mine. You do get plenty of screws as well as an installation guide. Rounding out the package are 2 grommets for the water line holes should you choose to use water cooling as well as a motherboard speaker.
The chassis is built very well and is very robust. There is no noticeable flex even with both side panels removed and the strong construction will surely help with noise reduction. I was able to sit on the top panel with little fear of damaging its structural integrity. I have to admit I was getting anxious to get the build process going as see just how well it performs under fire.

A Communion Message
In November, I was rostered for Communion duty for the first time. This was the Homily I gave:
Welcome, this is now the time where we share communion, and if you are visiting our church, then please feel free to join in or to pass the elements on, whatever you feel most comfortable doing. If you have your bibles with you let's turn to 1 Corinthians 11:24-25.
Jesus says "Do this in remembrance of me." A few moments later he stresses the importance of this thought by repeating it: "Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
You may have had this passage brought to your attention many times. Today I'd like you to focus on these words in particular: "In remembrance of me…"
Or to put it into less formal words, Jesus is saying "Remember me."
I'd like to introduce you to Clive Wearing. Clive was an acclaimed musicologist, conductor, tenor and keyboardist. By the time he was 47, he was at the height of his powers, an acknowledged expert in 14th Century to 18th Century European music and he was in charge of music for BBC Radio 3. But in that year, his brain was attacked by a virus and now it cannot form new memories.
He can only remember 30 seconds at a time. Every 30 seconds his brain reboots. So every 30 seconds, he "wakes up" with no memory of the previous 30 seconds. As part of his therapy he was encouraged to keep a diary. You can see his entries next to his photograph. His entries repeatedly say, things like "I'm now awake," or "I'm really awake". But the previous entries are crossed out, because he has no memory of how they got there so he discounts them.
For Clive Wearing, with no memory, he is forever in the present, with no past and no way to plan a future.
And now we return to what Jesus said: "Remember me." But in saying, "Remember me," what memories is he referring to?
Let's read Jeremiah 29:11.
And unlike Brian Wearing, who without memories, can never make plans or have hope for the future, our memories of Jesus, the sacrifice of his body for our sins, the shedding of His blood that cleanses us from sin, the memory of his interactions with him over the years, months, weeks, even in the last few hours or minutes, encourage us and give us hope for the future.
But its possible that all this may seem very abstract and distant for you. Perhaps the idea of God talking to you or acting in your life and influencing your circumstances seems remote and far removed from your everyday experience, then I encourage you to read on in this passage from Jeremiah: Jeremiah 29:12-14.
So you see, whether you are walking closely with God or if He seems remote and far away from you, Communion has something for us all.
And now we return to what Jesus said: "Remember me."
May the servers come forward please
So let's pray:
"Blessed be you, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who gives us the fruit of the vine, bread from the earth, and Jesus to be the true vine,
When we read Jesus' words, "Remember me," and as we eat this bread and wine, we remember,Thanks to my dear friend Anne Askey for the inspiration for this message.
we remember, His sacrifice for us that redeemed us from our sins,
we remember, the things you have said, done and continue to do in our own lives,
we remember, the hope for the future that these memories bring,
we remember your invitation to seek you with all that we are,
and we remember, your promise that you will be found by us.

Harris: Legacy real reason behind Brown's return
Gov. Jerry Brown has a huge intellect and an ego to match. He served as governor of California from 1975 to 1983, the sixth- youngest man to do so. Among more recent public offices, he was mayor of Oakland and California attorney general.
His first go-round in the governorship is probably most noted for his efforts to initially stop and then implement Proposition 13. His time as mayor of Oakland has met with mixed reviews and his stint as attorney general was pretty unspectacular.
If asked about Brown up to this point, many would think of Proposition 13, his high-profile romances with Linda Ronstadt and Debra Winger, his failed run for the U.S. Senate (1982), or his three failed runs at the presidency (1976, 1980, 1992). Some might even think back to his nickname: Governor Moonbeam (coined by Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko in 1976).
It is my belief that all of this plays a role in answering the question — why did Jerry Brown run for governor? At 72 years of age, he is the oldest governor in the history of California and the oldest governor currently serving in the U.S.
He no doubt has the intellect and energy of a much younger man and certainly enjoys the limelight that comes with elected office, but that does not fully explain a willingness, even an eagerness to tackle a state with such outsized problems that many have taken to calling California "ungovernable."
It is impossible for me to believe that he took this job to find ways to cut corners and count paper clips, or because he relished trying to reconcile the partisan nightmare that is Sacramento. His ego is too big to want to be a union lackey and he's too sharp and too realistic to blindly blame "big business" and the "rich" for all of our ills.
All of this begs the question — why did Jerry Run? The answer is simple — legacy. Rather than being remembered as a flake or a failure, he wants to be remembered as a great governor, something that has eluded all of our recent governors.
Let's take a brief look at the failed years of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The state is in far worse shape than when he took office. His campaign promises to balance the budget and distance himself from "special interests" became sad jokes. In a last desperate attempt to build a legacy, he tried to become the "green governor" by supporting Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act.
Unfortunately for Schwarzenegger, he will be best remembered as a "girlie man" who was unable to build nonpartisan bridges, for leaving us in complete fiscal disarray and as a toady for former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez when, for reasons known only to him and the speaker, one of his last acts was to commute Esteban Nunez's sentence.
So, how does Jerry Brown plan to create a legacy? Simple. He's going to try to save California. I believe he has a plan in place and that he's already taken the first steps.
1. He proposed a budget solution that is approximately half cuts and half increased taxes and fees. For this to be implemented, he needs to bring Sacramento lawmaker together and then get voters' approval for the increase in taxes in a special election in June.
2. If it works, he's a winner, having done in six months what his predecessor couldn't do in seven years. If it fails, he keeps moving forward.
3. He'll look at the people of California and say, "Since you won't approve a tax increase, I need to slash the K-12 budget by billions of dollars." The immediate outcry, funded in large part by the California Teachers Association, will stop that from happening.
4. He will then announce that because either Sacramento or the people have stopped all efforts to balance the budget, he is going to call for a Constitutional Convention. This will give him a chance to rebuild the state from the ground up, including getting rid of Proposition 13 and Proposition 98, which basically guarantees K-12 schools get 40 percent of the state budget.
Either way, the effort and the results are outsized, correcting the failures of his predecessors and righting a state that many thought was past saving. Perhaps most importantly, he buries the Governor Moonbeam moniker forever and joins the very few among the "great." The budget is balanced, the state is saved and a legacy is born.

"This House is Maintained …
… Entirely for the Convenience of Our Cat" are the words on a small sign that I bought one day at a resale shop, thinking it was funny. However, as time has went on, and with the added care and maintenance of our kitty (i.e. diabetes, special diet, shots, etc.), I can see the truth in those words.
Not that we mind, for she is a good kitty, and we would be heartbroken if we should lose her.

PORTLAND A St. Helens man was sentenced to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to a hit-and-run that killed a Southeast Portland mother and son.
Daniel Troy Johnson, 30, changed his plea guilty of all charges, including manslaughter, during his trial Thursday, according to the district attorney's office said.
Background: Hit-and-run took woman's family
Hazel Knepper, 90, and her son Paul Knepper, 55, died on March 9 when Johnson s Cadillac SUV ran a stop sign at Southeast 28th Place and Gladstone Street and slammed into their Toyota Corolla.
Three people fled on foot, a fourth person stayed behind. Johnson was later identified as the driver.
According to Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Chuck Sparks, a passenger in the car said that Johnson was drinking in the run up to the accident.
During the trial, a parade of 20 witnesses lined up to testify against Johnson. About a dozen had spoken when the defense changed its plea.
A blood test indicated that one hour and 44 minutes after the accident Johnson had a blood alcohol content of 0.16. The state charges DUII at 0.08 BAC.
It was his third DUII, Multnomah County officials said.
Johnson will serve 18 years in prison with no chance of parole. The agreement with the prosecution stipulated that Johnson cannot appeal his case in the future. Johnson will also be under three years of supervision after his release and will lose his driver's license permanently.
The victim's family was happy with the sentence, Sparks said Thursday. It was an appropriate resolution.
Hazel Knepper was a nurse well into her 80s. She lived with her son.
The accident devastated Knepper s small family. Hazel's daughter, Ellie Hawkins, told KGW that Hazel and Paul were all that she had left in her immediate family following her other brother s cancer death just three weeks before the accident.

Dickerson homer gives Orioles 7-5 win over Tigers
Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez allowed a season-high five earned runs over six innings and allowed both Detroit homers.
The Tigers went up 2-0 in the first inning when Andy Dirks singled and Cabrera hit his 16th homer of the season. He's the first Detroit player to hit 12 homers in May since Willie Horton in 1968.
Baltimore got a run back in the second, getting singles from Jones and Davis before Wieters delivered a sacrifice fly. In the third, Markakis walked before Jones connected to give the Orioles a brief 3-2 lead.
A two-out RBI single by Garcia tied it in the fourth, and Detroit went up 4-3 in the fifth when Dirks and Cabrera singled ahead of a run-scoring grounder by Victor Martinez.
Garcia hit his second homer of the season for a 5-3 lead in the sixth.
NOTES: Cabrera went 2 for 5 with a walk and took over the AL lead in hits with 81. He began the game tied with Machado, who was held hitless. ... Orioles RHP Pedro Strop, who's been on the DL since May 25 with a lower back strain, is slated to throw a simulated game Saturday. ... Justin Verlander takes the mound for Detroit on Saturday. The Orioles will start Jason Hammel, who's 7-2 overall but 1-2 with a 6.38 ERA at home.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
CORDELE, Ga. -- City of Albany department heads are meeting in a two-day retreat at Lake Blackshear to focus on city priorities and go through leadership training, city officials say.
The retreat, which involves City Manager Alfred Lott, Assistant City Manager Wes Smith, City Attorney Nathan Davis and the heads of each of the city's 17 departments, is designed to improve relationships between departments while developing leadership training, Smith said.
"We want to make sure our department heads understand the traits and characteristics of good leadership so they can effectively advance the city's agenda through their departments," Smith said.
Smith said that the retreat is the first in two years and is needed to ensure that the city functions effectively as a unit.
With the recessions, some governments have been criticized for the practice of leaving their respective towns for multi-day trips on the taxpayers' dime.
City officials say the training session will cost between $3,000 and $4,000. The City just approved a FY2011 budget requiring funds be pulled from the city fund balance to fill a $4.9 million deficit.
When asked why the City couldn't have held the retreat locally, Smith said that sometimes city leaders need to get away from the distractions of the city.
"It's really nice to get away," Smith said. "There is an environment that allows for reflection and restoration that fosters open and free discussion and some interesting thoughts... Just because we aren't in the office doesn't mean we can't get work done. Everyone here is connected to their offices."
The retreat will wrap up today before noon, Smith said.
It's the second time that the city has used the resort for a retreat this year. City commissioners went there on their annual retreat during the winter to lay out their agenda and priorities for the year.
The county commission also used the facility for their retreat during the spring but did not stay overnight.

Australian opposition launches election campaign
CANBERRA, Australia Opposition leader Tony Abbott, a strong favorite to become Australian prime minister in national elections next month, officially launched his conservative coalition's campaign Sunday with a speech that offered few clues to how his spending promises would be paid for.
The Liberal Party-led coalition's launch took place in the east coast city of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland state, a major battleground for the Sept. 7 elections.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd represents a Brisbane electorate and will officially launch his center-left Labor Party's bid for a third three-year term in power next weekend in the same city.
The election comes as economic conditions worsen in Australia, where tax revenues have retreated with the cooling of a mining boom that kept the resource-rich nation out of recession during the global economic crisis.
Abbott's coalition has consistently out-performed the ruling party in public opinion polls for more than two years, despite Abbott's low personal approval rating.
The 55-year-old former Roman Catholic seminarian and Rhodes scholar urged voters to trust his government to return the Australian budget to a surplus after five consecutive deficits delivered by Labor since the global economic crisis.
"The worst deficit is not the budget deficit, it's the trust deficit," Abbott said.
He reminded party faithful that Rudd had been elected prime minister in 2007, but was then dumped by his own government colleagues in a leadership showdown less than three years later. Rudd was restored to power in June in a similar internal showdown which prompted a third of cabinet ministers to resign.
"If the people who worked with Mr. Rudd don't trust him, why should you?" Abbott asked.
"My friends, you don't expect miracles: just a government that is competent and trustworthy and a prime minister who doesn't talk down to you," he said.
Abbott has promised to give priority to repealing taxes introduced last year on mining company profits and on Australia's worst industrial polluters for their emission of global-warming carbon gases.
But he said he will not cut additional welfare payments to most Australian families to compensate them for higher electricity prices under the so-called carbon tax.
Abbott promised to match Labor's pledges to increase funding for services to disabled people and for education.
Most controversially, Abbott has promised a generous new taxpayer-funded maternity leave scheme that would match working mothers' salaries for up six months and for up to 75,000 Australian dollars ($68,000).
Economists, business leaders and some of Abbott's own political allies have condemned the scheme as unaffordable.
Less than half the AU$5.5 billion a year the scheme is expected to cost would be paid for by a 1.5 percentage point tax increase to be paid by Australia's 3,000 biggest companies.
Mothers are currently entitled to the equivalent of the minimum wage - AU$622.10 a week - for 18 weeks for maternity leave.
Rudd argued that paying AU$75,000 to "millionaires or billionaires" was "unfair, unfunded and economically irresponsible."
It would lead to cutbacks in health and education spending as well as in the AU$37.4 billion high-speed fiber-optic national broadband network which is being rolled out across Australia. The opposition has promised a cheaper, slower alternative.

The Weekly Health Quiz: College Stress, Flossing and Back Pain Relief
May 29, 2015,
Masahiro Tanaka, who had a mixed outing against the Mets, said he was intentionally throwing more sinkers because he felt his four-seam fastball was hit hard last year. He also indicated that he was trying to relax this spring and not overthrow.
The actress had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed because she carries a genetic mutation that increases the risk of ovarian cancer.
Me siento femenina y con los pies en la tierra respecto a las decisiones que estoy tomando para mi beneficio y el de mi familia.
Health choices are part of life, not to be feared.
Matt Harvey has returned to the Mets' rotation, but three other pitchers, including Zack Wheeler, are now dealing with injuries that will cause Mets fans to hold their breath again.
The Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka is trying to beat a partial tear in the ulnar collateral ligament, but Kris Medlen and Ryan Madson are examples of pitchers who had arm surgery with varying outcomes.
The Texas Rangers ace has partially torn ligaments in his right elbow, the same elbow where inflammation shortened his 2014 season, and Tommy John surgery is being considered.
On the operating table and what comes after.

The Bombay High Court on Friday directed the Maharashtra government to furnish details of existing courts and the number of posts of judges in the state. The court was hearing a public interest litigation on the need to set up more fast-track courts to try cases relating to offences against women.
A division bench of justices Abhay Oka and Amjad Sayed directed the government to file an affidavit in this regard within four weeks.
The PIL, which was filed by social activist Vihar Durve, has accused the state of not being serious in setting up additional courts for speedy disposal of cases involving crimes against women. The petition states that the apathy continues despite repeated requests from the HC, following a 2012 Supreme Court directive.
Information obtained by Durve under the Right to Information Act shows that the government has been sitting on requests by the high court to create 10 per cent additional posts in district courts to try offences against women.
Since May 2010, the HC has been exchanging communications with the state on the matter, but the government has kept on raising one or the other query. The proposal is now pending before the finance department, which has sought further clarifications.
Speaking at the 150th anniversary of the Advocates Association of Western India in February, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had said that the government had constituted 100 fast-track courts in the state. "Thirteen special courts to try offences against women have already been set up and 12 more will be set up soon," he had said.
Meanwhile, the court also asked a former director of consultancy firm KPMG to initiate separate proceedings, challenging the appointment of Susie Shah as chairperson of the Maharashtra State Commission for Women.
The ex-director had sued her senior colleagues for sexual harassment at workplace. She had alleged that Shah, as a sitting member of the commission, had deliberately delayed hearing in her case.

From Like a Virgin to Like a Prayer to Erotica, Madonna built her career on pushing views and artistic expression on taboo subjects. However, her career today appears to have stalled, perhaps because of more than 20 years of exposure. And she may not appeal to a sought-after teenage audience hardly shocked by anything anymore.
Artists not known for sexually charged lyrics, photo-shoots and videos could probably generate the most attention for shocking incidents. They are the unlikeliest of suspects — and perhaps the least likely to perform stunts just to bring attention to themselves. John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged bed-in protests for peace, not just publicity.
"When Sinead O'Connor ripped up the photo of the pope during Saturday Night Live, she was trying to send a message," said Cave. "The huge deal that's being made over Mel Gibson's movie The Passion is about beyond selling movie tickets. It's something he [Gibson] feels strongly about."
Making a Statement vs. Attracting Attention
However, some experts point out, there is a difference between staging a shocking incident and making a shocking statement. Some believe that celebrities can never really be hurt by controversial incidents, as long as they're not crimes like murder and molestation, but are more damaged by political or religious statements.
Beyoncé Knowles was criticized for her sexually suggestive dance at Grant's Tomb during a live concert for NBC last Fourth of July. However, her career hasn't suffered — her album remains in the Billboard top 20 and she's been nominated for multiple Grammys.
However, arguably, Irish songstress O'Connor's career never truly recovered after she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II during a performance on Saturday Night Live in 1992. The Dixie Chicks' album sales dropped last year when a member of the trio said they were ashamed that President Bush was from their native Texas.
"You can almost be never hurt [by a shock incident]," said Levinson. "However, when the Dixie Chicks made their comments about President Bush, they felt a backlash because they were making a statement. When Sinead O'Connor ripped up the picture of the pope, she was making a statement."
'Nasty' Reality Check
Jackson is set to release a new album in the spring, her first since 2001's All for You.
At 37, she is geriatric compared to the 20-somethings who rule the pop charts these days, like Timberlake, Spears, 50 Cent and Nelly. Though Jackson said the breast-exposure was a stunt unintentionally gone too far, some believe it was the start of a publicity campaign for her upcoming album.
"The more I think about it, it's hard to believe it was a just a wardrobe problem," said Cave. "Here we have Janet, she's releasing an album soon. She's getting older and she's trying to prove once again that she's still sexy," said Cave. "If nothing else, this [the Super Bowl controversy] introduces her to an audience that wouldn't have thought about her otherwise, that didn't get her last album."
Still, Jackson's new audience may not buy her CD anyway — and not because they're offended by her Super Bowl performance.
"The idea is she may have been introduced to a new group of young boys," said Cave. "But the way the music industry is today, they're more likely to download the music instead of buying the album."

The Tax Lawyer You Wish You Had
The late Marty Ginsburg, whose wife does stuff too
Happy (?) Tax Day! (Yes, it is very late this year, sorta how Yom Kippur is some years.) To balance out your feelings toward this process, here—courtesy frequent tipster AA—is the best professional biography you will ever read: that of the late tax law maestro Marty Ginsburg, a.k.a. Mr. Ruth Bader.
Martin D. Ginsburg is Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. His professional corporation is of counsel to the Firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP.
Professor Ginsburg attended Cornell University, stood very low in his class and played on the golf team. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School which, in those years, did not field a golf team.
Professor Ginsburg entered private practice in New York City in 1958. He withdrew from full-time practice when appointed the Beekman Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and moved to Georgetown University in 1980 when his wife obtained a good job in Washington.
… From 1984 to 1987 he was a member of the ABA Tax Section Council, where he performed no useful service at all; celebrating that unique achievement, in 2006 the Tax Section gave Professor Ginsburg its lifetime Distinguished Service Award.
… In 1986, someone who probably prefers never to be identified endowed a Chair in Taxation in his name at Georgetown; no one appears willing to occupy the Ginsburg Chair, and it remains vacant. In 1993, the National Women's Political Caucus gave Professor Ginsburg its "Good Guy" award; history reveals no prior instance of a tax lawyer held to be a "Good Guy," or even a "Decent Sort."
Professor Ginsburg is a Fellow of the American College of Tax Counsel, a frequent speaker at tax seminars, mainly in warm climates, and the author of one exciting treatise (with Jack S. Levin of Chicago) and a ghastly number of articles on corporate and partnership taxation, business acquisitions and other stimulating things.
In 2010, the publication Best Lawyers named Professor Ginsburg the best tax lawyer in Washington, D.C. and named Mr. Levin the best tax lawyer in Chicago. Marty and Jack each responded that the publication had gotten it at least half right.
Professor Ginsburg's spouse was a lawyer before she found better work. Their older child was a lawyer before she became a schoolteacher. The younger child, when he feels grumpy, threatens to become a lawyer.

Mixes well...Hummers love it. Will buy again.
I love this instant nectar. It's easy to mix. The humming birds love it better than my home-made stuff. I have several feeders in the yard and there is usually humming birds on one or more. The birds are fun to watch.
Hummingbirds love this.
Good, just what I was looking for delivered to my door.
I don't love it but the Humming Birds do. I bought my first batch from a Big Box store and the birds loved it. Bought the next batch here as it was cheaper and with Prime it was at my house in 2 days. Birds devour it! My family loves watching about 6-10 hummingbirds flying around our house eating it up.

Clyde Thomas: What justifies calling this lens a "G" other than marketing?
So blurry on the corners. Only the center/midfields sharp.
The Mind of Minolta would be embarrassed at this, Sony trampling their good reputation at every opportunity.
Will there be G* lens to further damage the brand?
by biggest concern is battery life.
Google Project Glass?
Jim in AZ: Way wasn't this "orb" problem detected during trials and quality control? For a cheap $150 cam this might be acceptable but not for the price fuji is charging for the X10.

Impact -- Virginia
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is a nationwide effort to create jobs, jumpstart growth and transform our economy for the 21st century. Across the country, this plan will help businesses create jobs and families afford their bills while laying a foundation for future economic growth in key areas like health care, clean energy, education and a 21st century infrastructure. In Virginia, this plan will deliver immediate, tangible impacts, including:
- Creating or saving 99,000 jobs over the next two years. Jobs created will be in a range of industries from clean energy to health care, with over 90% in the private sector. [Source: White House Estimate based on Romer and Bernstein, "The Job Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan." January 9, 2009.]
- Providing a making work pay tax cut of up to $1,000 for 3,000,000 workers and their families. The plan will make a down payment on the President's Making Work Pay tax cut for 95% of workers and their families, designed to pay out immediately into workers' paychecks. [Source: White House Estimate based on IRS Statistics of Income]
- Making 71,000 families eligible for a new American Opportunity Tax Credit to make college affordable. By creating a new $2,500 partially refundable tax credit for four years of college, this plan will give 3.8 million families nationwide – and 71,000 families in Virginia – new assistance to put college within their reach. [Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis of U.S. Census data]
- Offering an additional $100 per month in unemployment insurance benefits to 247,000 workers in Virginia who have lost their jobs in this recession, and providing extended unemployment benefits to an additional 46,000 laid-off workers. [Source: National Employment Law Project]

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 30, 3:30 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Matthew Knight Arena (12,364) -- Eugene, Cal Poly. Television: None. Home Record: Pacific 3-0, Cal Poly 1-1. Away Record: Pacific 1-1, Cal Poly 0-2. Neutral Record: Pacific 0-0, Cal Poly 1-0. Conference Record: Pacific 0-0, Cal Poly 0-0. Series Record: Pacific leads, 25-12.
GAME NOTES: Former conference rivals Pacific and Cal Poly face off on Saturday afternoon at Matthew Knight Arena as part of the second day of the Global Sports Challenge.
The Tigers' perfect start to the season finally came to an end on Friday as they were dismissed by host Oregon, 85-62. The win ended a four-game win streak to open the year for the Pacific, which will tangle with North Dakota in Sunday's event finale.
The Mustangs have logged back-to-back wins for the first time this season thanks to a 70-43 trampling of North Dakota to kick off this weekend's action. Cal Poly opened the campaign with three straight losses. Cal Poly gets its shot at nationally-ranked Oregon in Sunday's finale.
These two teams formerly competed in the Big West Conference before Pacific moved to the West Coast Conference this season. They split a pair of regular- season matchups a year ago before the Tigers squeaked out a 55-53 triumph in the Big West Conference Tournament. Pacific leads the all-time series, 25-12.
The Tigers did win the battle on the boards against Oregon (35-27), but little else. Pacific hit only 36.4 percent of its shots from the field and had twice as many turnovers (18) as the Ducks (nine). That led to a 20-9 difference in points off of takeaways.
Leading scorer Sama Taku (14 ppg) was held in check by the powerful Oregon backcourt, as he managed only four points on a ghastly 1-of-9 performance from the floor. Trevin Harris (4.8 ppg) came out of nowhere to tie the team-high with 14 points after struggling through the first four games. T.J. Wallace (6.8 ppg) also turned in a surpassingly potent effort as he finished with 14 points. Normally Andrew Bock (12 ppg) and Ross Rivera (10.8 ppg) serve as the next-best scoring options behind Taku. As a unit, the Tigers are scoring 75.6 points per game and hitting 44.1 percent from the floor, including a nearly 40 percent success rate from 3-point range.
On Friday, the Mustangs hammered North Dakota at the defensive end. Cal Poly only allowed UND to record 11 field goals and just a 23.4 percent success rate on its field goal attempts. Cal Poly coupled that with an impressive 50.9 percent showing from the field itself.
Playing strong defense has been a trend for the Mustangs this season. Cal Poly is only allowing 55.6 points per game and keeping opponents to a meager 36.5 percent shooting from the floor. Cal Poly doesn't have as much success when trying to score itself, netting only 62.8 points per game on just 42.4 percent shooting from the field. Chris Eversley (12.8 ppg, 8.0 rpg) and Dave Nwaba (10.8 ppg) are the only double-digit scoring threats on the roster, although Kyle Odister (9.8 ppg) has the ability to do so. Odister has been held back by poor shooting (.375 FG percentage). However on Friday, Brian Bennett (8.6 ppg) was the lead scorer with 16 points.
Pacific has been playing well out of the gate and should keep its success against the Mustangs going.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Pacific 69, Cal Poly 60

MOTHER LODE: Children leave their mark -- literally -- on homes they visit
By Cathy Runyon | firstname.lastname@example.com
February 27, 2015, 8:32AM
You don't have to be a detective to know when there are children in the house. The signs are everywhere. I don't mean the noise and general uproar of kids running through the house. That's just the first alert. Other signals scream just as loudly, if you know what to look for. For instance, the prongs on the plug... Full story »

RECIPE: Add a delicately delightful note to your meals with leek

February 19, 2015, 10:21AM
With its delicate green rings, the common leek is a versatile root vegetable that adds a fresh green burst of flavor, especially wonderful this time of year. Its mellow flavor is perfect for those who detest strong onions, and it slices into thin rings perfect for garnishing. It might seem like the big strong cousin of the green onion,... Full story »

February 13, 2015, 12:23PM
My husband eats a banana almost every day. Peeling it has always been an easy task, until a few weeks ago when he had surgery for a condition called trigger thumb.

Can a Kermit boy really make you disappear? You want proof the world has gone nuts? I got it.

Growing up, I remember going to family gatherings on Sundays for brunch. One thing that was almost always a staple was the breakfast casserole.

The XMSCION deal may still be valid - free activation and free 3 months. This is what I used when I bought a portable XM radio about 1.5 years ago. Do a search in here for the deal details. When my free 3 months was up, I called them and talked them in to the $77/year deal. Search here again for deal details.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass ... it is about learning to dance in the rain.
Their music selection is also much better than AM/FM. I live in a major market, but I do not know of any broadcast radio station that plays House/Dance music, which I love, or most of my other preset channels: raggae, old school rap/hip-hop, Hits from the 70s & 80s, Rock hits from the 90s, etc...
$77/year is less than lunch at McDonalds once per month.
Today I successfully got $77 for a year of the normally $12.95/mo plan by telling them a friend showed me his flyer offering $77/yr with code ZWinBack. Took me 4 calls, but as soon as I found the zwinback code everything changed on the 4th call.
Last edited by ScottInCA; 04-14-2009 at 02:21 PM..
Not sure if this helps, but I currently have XM on three radios. I got the Zwin back on two of the radios by telling that I wanted to cancel because I was paying too much for the radio
The third radio I told them that I didn't use it as much and it was just a spare, and they offered me $19.99 for 5 months. Not a bad deal.
from bill:
04/01/2009 - 04/01/2010 XM Service 1 Year $77.00

A parking ban has been issued for Norwalk due to snowfall until further notice.
This parking ban is to enable the snowplows to clear the street. This parking ban affects the entire city of Norwalk.
Also, Huron County Sheriff Dane Howard has issued a Level 1 snow emergency until further notice.
In Ohio, there are three levels of snow emergencies, with Level 1 being the mildest.
A Level 1 means roadways are hazardous, with blowing and drifting snow. Roads also are icey, so motorists are encouraged to drive cautiously.

Diana of the Tower is a variation of Augustus Saint-Gaudens's famous weathervane of the Roman goddess of the hunt that stood atop the Madison Square Garden Tower in New York City from 1894 until the Garden was demolished in 1925. Despite the weathervane's placement high above the city, the figure's nudity disturbed some viewers. Reporters fueled debates about the sculpture's propriety. "Occasionally a stray child may still be seen [in the area of Madison Square Park]," one wrote, "but more generally, what children come there are rushed through at breakneak speed in the two of a nurse of some older person. In their place the Square is now thronged with clubmen, armed with filed glasses." Nevertheless, Diana's popularity was great enough to inspire the sculptor to create several editions of reduced versions such as this one, the sales and exhibitions of which established Diana as on of the best-known American sculptures of the period.
Catalogue Description:
Figure of idealized nude female in act of shooting an arrow; stands on tiptoe of proper left foot with right leg outstretched behind her and head looking left; holds bow in proper left hand and pulls string (made of twisted wire) with right hand, arrow has been lost; base is hemisphere atop square plinth. Condition: Good; allover losses to gilding.
