Statuesque (Revision 2080)
Edit Page Last Edit: 2 years 9 months ago
This and the crushing version are probably the hardest ones to get. If you somehow accomplish this on crushing without having done the hard one first, you will unlock this trophy also. Same goes for every other trophy that relates to difficulty; doing it on a higher difficulty will unlock the lower difficulty as well.
Recommended setup is obviously 3 players, at least 1 with army of 3 and another with protectorate or team medic. Gold regeneration booster is a must.

North Carolina legislators passed a bill last month that prevents colleges and universities from requiring students to provide their passwords to Twitter, Facebook and other social networks.
North Carolina legislators passed a bill last month that prevents colleges and universities from requiring students to provide their passwords to Twitter, Facebook and other social networks.
As other campus departments experience cut or stagnant budgets, campus engagement centers have been an exception. Although they're generally smaller departments, their budgets have been steadily growing over the past few years.
When Boston College leaders sent a letter to a student group in March saying its members could expect disciplinary sanctions if they distributed condoms from dorm rooms on campus, a game of sides followed.
Some of us east-coasters are urban-centric when it comes to identifying with the last American higher learning frontier—rising out of the Rocky Mountains and continental college town divide.
Maintaining healthy town/gown relations enhances campus life and generally makes the institutional mission easier to achieve. In recent years, however, community college officials are finding that efforts must go beyond providing cultural venues that locals can access.
Before entering college, Nicole, a junior at a small liberal arts college in New England, had been getting treatment for anorexia for two years.
After being announced as a host venue for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, my colleagues and I at The University of British Columbia (Canada) began preparations for the thousands of visitors expected to come see the Olympic torch relay and attend events at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports
Will residential liberal arts colleges follow the path of the wristwatch? I sure hope so. With all of the talk about MOOCs, online instruction, and game-based learning models, many of us working at residential liberal arts colleges are uncertain about our future.
Continually provide both hot and cold gluten-free and allergen-free options in dining hall food lines. Allow students to pre-order allergen-free meals. Provide a dedicated space in the main dining hall to store and prepare gluten-free and allergen-free foods and to avoid cross-contamination.
Could the admission of Grand Canyon University (Ariz.) into the Western Athletic Conference help change the perception of for-profits among the higher education community?
While social media is a great way to share news with family and friends, students don't always realize the implications for their ability to secure jobs in the future.
Any Texan will tell you that yes, size really does matter, especially in the expansive Lone Star State, where they tend to do most things big—and take pride in it.
Sometimes, though, that bigness causes problems.
With any campus building, what's on the inside counts just as much—and probably more—than what's on the outside. This is especially true with residence halls, which must include a balance of private and shared spaces.
While the role of international campuses of U.S. institutions of higher education has been much debated in recent years, their primary purpose and capacity for constructive, new developments is often overlooked.
In 2008, Sunil Khambaswadkar came on board as the assistant vice chancellor of HR at the Abu Dhabi campus of New York University, which now supports 450 students and is growing strong.

My Comic Reviews of 3/21/2012
By zackattack529 0 Comments
Green Lantern Corps #7 - 4/5- In this aftermath issue, we see both Guy and John face the music for what theyve commited during their battle with the Ringslayers. their results are similar, being they were both only doing their job. this issue basically reminds us why we like both these characters so much. their personalities really show well in this issue as they both have to man up and explain why they did what they did.
really good issue. my favorite of the Green Lantern title still so far. :)
Uncanny X-Men #9 - 3/5- with the AvX event coming up in one more month, the two factions team-up one last time to round up a bunch of prisoners that have escaped from the Peak. i didn't really like this issue only because i think the team-up couldve been better. all the stuff i wanted to see was narrated and showed cuts to different parts around the world. we are also introduced to a new enemy called UNIT. who id like to know more about other than that this issue really wasn't that good.
Batman #7 -4/5- pretty cool issue. were introduced to a new character that will probabaly appear more later on in the series. and we get answeres on how the talons performance are enhanced. this issue definitely will get you pumped for night of the owls.
Nightwing #7 -5/5- COMIC OF THE WEEK! man oh man, so the first arc for nightwing finally concludes and we get some answers about Saikos intent on killing richard. we also get a court of owls tie in in this issue and big revelation on dicks past and the mystery of haly's circus. this issue is a MUST READ!! also youll probably need to buy batman to get a better experience of this issues ending.
Haunt #22 -4/5- man this series is really cool, and this new creative team is just what this series needed. i know people are dissapointed that a powerhouse team of mcfarlane, capullo, rickman, glapion. left the title stranded and this title probably lost alot of its readers because of it..but if anyone is reading this. GET BACK ON THIS SERIES. its awesome! :D

Bay declines Red Sox latest contract offer
Dec 12, 2009, 3:58 PM EDT
Things are about to get interesting. Rosenthal:
Jason Bay's tenure with the Red Sox appears over.
The free-agent left fielder has rejected the team's latest offer and is entertaining better proposals from other clubs, according to his agent, Joe Urbon.
"We don't agree with their evaluation of the player," Urbon said. "Frankly, we have other offers on the table that are of greater interest to Jason."
It's unclear whether the Red Sox tendered a new offer for Bay, or if this is the same four-year, $60 million offer previously reported by Jon Heyman of SI.com.
As detailed this morning, the Mets
offered a backloaded four-year, $63 million offer for Bay before
leaving the winter meetings. It's possible that one of the offers of
"greater interest" are from the Mets, but they'll surely have to add
another year to close the deal.
- Old Gator - Dec 12, 2009 at 4:53 PM
This is really fun. They're going to have Bay feeling like Kirk Gibson before this is over. All these teams offering this guy contracts they must know he'll shoot down. You have to wonder if this isn't just some new, post-prosperity form of "collusion" coupled with a touch of Russian roulette: under the "cynical ploy" scenario outlined below, none of these teams really wants the guy, but he's gonna wind up choosing one whether it wants him or not. Then what will the….Mutts do? They'll feel like the board members of that advertising agency at the beginning of Putney Swope.
- john pileggi - Dec 12, 2009 at 6:54 PM
Bay is going to get a deal, but it will not be significantly above what is om the table. When it gets to the point of being close to "Holliday money", teams will simply call Boras and make the offer to Holliday. Bay will get a great contract and it will be with the Sox, Mets, or Mariners.

2011 BEST Actress
Anne Gottlieb
Gottlieb is an actress and a scholar at Brandeis's Women's Studies Research Center. Her disparate talents dovetailed in uproarious fashion last fall, when she performed in the SpeakEasy Stage Company's feminist farce In the Next Room (or the Vibrator Play), about the 1880s women who first discovered the sexual freedom that comes with…electricity. But then she somehow made sultry innuendo poignant in the New Repertory Theatre's Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.

Product description
Every age, every culture, perhaps every person, have different answers. We can at least agree on one thing, however: dreams are other. Their presence in our lives demonstrates that we are not limited to a single mode of consciousness. The world of sleep is largely a blank for us, an abyss of non-consciousness, yawning between one day and the next, but the very fact that we can dream announces our potential for awareness within that abyss. We spend a third of our life asleep-a fact that dream theorists rarely consider. This startling collection of lectures by Rudolf Steiner, selected and introduced by the psychologist Michael Lipson, provides a truly unique way of approaching dreams, based on an understanding of the spiritual nature of human beings. A radically new view of dreams "as the threshold to spiritual reality" arises, once we acknowledge that physical existence is only the tip of an iceberg hidden largely in the spiritual world. Sleep, death, and meditation are the three realms in which consciousness has the opportunity to deepen its immersion in the divine flow of existence. In principle, we can become infinitely more self-aware in each of them, since human consciousness is not fixed-neither in contents nor in terms of alertness. All day long, the contents of our consciousness change, and during the night, the level changes. These lectures permit readers to glimpse the fantastic depths of experience we normally "sleep through" and to contemplate Steiner's astounding program: to maintain self-aware consciousness through sleep, through death, through all being.

Andrew "Andy" Murray (born 15 May 1987) is a Scottish professional tennis player, ranked No. 4 in the world, and was ranked No. 2 from 17 to 31 August 2009. Murray achieved a top-10 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals for the first time on 16 April 2007. He has been runner-up in three Grand Slam finals: the 2008 US Open, the 2010 Australian Open and the 2011 Australian Open, losing the first two to Roger Federer and the third to Novak Djokovic. In 2011, Murray became only the seventh player in the Open Era to reach the semi-finals of all four Grand Slam tournaments in one year.
Andy Murray was born to Will and Judy in Glasgow, Scotland. His maternal grandfather, Roy Erskine, was a professional footballer who played reserve team matches for Hibernian and in the Scottish Football League for Stirling Albion and Cowdenbeath. Murray's brother, Jamie, is also a professional tennis player, playing on the doubles circuit. Following the separation of his parents when he was nine years old, Andy and Jamie lived with their father. Murray later attended Dunblane High School. Murray is in a five-year relationship with Kim Sears, who is regularly seen attending his matches. The relationship ended briefly in 2009 before they reconciled a short time later in 2010.

Building principals, assistant principals and district administrators in Jonathan Alder Local Schools are eligible for cash bonuses next year if their students excel on state tests.
Board of education members approved a "Student Growth Incentive" on Thursday at the recommendation of Superintendent Gary Chapman. The incentive directly ties administrators' financial compensation to student performance and paves the way for the new state-mandated Ohio Principal Evaluation System, Chapman said.
In addition to principals and assistant principals, Alder's directors of technology, special services and curriculum and instruction will fall under the new bonus program.
Chapman said each administrator will receive a number score based on three factors: How much students are learning from year to year, individual results of state academic tests and the percentage of students who rate "proficient" or higher on those tests. Individual building grades on the annual state report card will determine the last two numbers.
Year-to-year growth in learning and the number of students who are judged "proficient" on state tests will determine 80 percent of eligibility for a cash stipend.
Administrators of buildings where students exceed state and district standards will receive a one-time, $2,000 payment in August 2015. Those in buildings where students meet standards will receive $1,000.
In the future, administrator scores may also factor overall graduation rates, teacher attendance and the learning progress of both disabled and gifted students, Chapman said.
Also on Thursday, school board members approved a district-wide 1 percent pay increase for both teaching and support staff, beginning with the 2015-16 school year. Only routine "step" increases are slated for the upcoming year.
Five-year contracts approved in 2010 allowed for re-negotiation during the last two years, Chapman said.
In other meeting business on Thursday, board members:
• Approved a 25-cent increase in the price of school breakfasts and lunches for 2014-15. The increase is the first since 2008.
• Approved four professional development days and two calamity make-up days for the 2014-15 school year.
• Accepted a $214 grant for math manipulatives and a $2,816 grant for e-textbooks at Plain City Elementary, as well as an $11,931 grant for e-textbooks at Jonathan Alder High. Board president Steve Votaw said the district received nearly $100,000 in grants and donations last year.
• Renewed a $1,500 per month lease with the Vineyard Church of Plain City for the former elementary school building on Main Street.
• Renewed an agreement with Memorial Hospital of Union County for athletic training services.
• Heard Chapman announce broadband service will increase at Monroe Elementary and Canaan Middle schools as a result of E-rate funding. One hundred-foot high service towers are going up at both locations.

See E. J. Gleazer, Jr., This is the Community College (1968); C. R. Monroe, Profile of the Community College (1972).
In Canada, community colleges are usually simply referred to as "colleges". This is because in Canadian English, there is formal differentiation between the term "college" (referring to a community college) and a University, that is not present in American or British English. In the province of Quebec, they are called Cégeps for Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel, meaning "College of General and Vocational Education"
In Canada, and also in the United States, a community college, sometimes called a county college, junior college, technical college, or a city college, is an educational institution providing higher education and lower-level tertiary education, granting certificates, diplomas, and in the United States associate's degrees; in Canada, the associates' degree is rare and community colleges increasingly offer limited selections of specialized bachelor's degrees. The name derives from the fact that community colleges primarily attract and accept students from the local community, and are often supported by local tax revenue.
At the moment, most community colleges award qualifications up to Level 3 in the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (Certificate 3) in both the Skills sector (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia or the Malaysian Skills Certificate) as well as the Vocational and Training sector but the number of community colleges that are starting to award Level 4 qualifications (Diploma) are increasing. This is two levels below a Bachelor's degree (Level 6 in the MQF) and students within the system who intend to further their studies to that level will usually seek entry into Advanced Diploma programs in public universities, polytechnics or accredited private providers.
The concept of community college dates back to the time of the former Minister of Education, Culture and Sports (MECS) that had under its wings the Bureaus of Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Higher Education and Vocational-Technical Education. MECS Secretary, Dr. Cecilio Putong, who in 1971 wrote that a community school is a school established in the community, by the community, an for the community itself. Dr. Pedro T. Orata of Pangasinan shared the same idea, hence the establishment of a Community College, now called the City College of Urdaneta.
A community college like the one in Abuyog, Leyte can operate with only PHP 124,000 annual budget in a 2-storey structure housing more than 700 students.

Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - The Westin Bayshore Vancouver
Scott F. Spring 2011
"My wife and I returned from a honeymoon cruise and wished to enjoy 2 more days in Vancouver, BC and the Westin was one of many options. This was the firstt time we had experienced a Westin Hotel and it was wonderful. The check-in staff happily accommodated us even though we arrived early. We really felt like we were welcome and were even given a beautiful view of the bay. The breakfast we outstanding. Service excellent."

My Biggest Pet Peeve. Anime is NOT porn people!My biggest pet peeve in the entire world is when I tell someone I like anime, and they look at me with this.. horrified look as if I just told them I masturbate in public. They then continue this horrified act by saying in a disbelieving voice "..you.. watch porn?!"WTF PEOPLE! ANIME IS NOT PORN! That's like you telling me you watched the notebook and me accusing you of watching porn.Yes; I admit there is a genre of anime called hentai, loosely translated from Japanese into English it's pervert, which is porn. But, if you do recall, live action television, HAS PORN TOO. In fact, I'd bet that porn was live action first!So next time someone tells you they like anime, don't stare at them incredulously and ask if they watch porn; it's insulting.And for all your otakus out there.. next time someone asks you if anime is porn
it's your turn to stare at them and inch closer to them and whisper loudly in their ear, "You watched pokemon when you were little.. oh my god.. you pervert! Yo

Tormenting Nigthmares PrologueSilence.Darkness.Creepiness.Three words describing perfectly the scenery in front of a certain dark brunet. Suddenly, a bright light blinded him and he covered his eyes. After a few moments, he slowly opened them and he could see clearly.His teeth gritting between his jaws, hands balling into fists on his sides, he glared at the eerie figure before him. The person before him wasn't the one he used to love; no, it was that person, but possessed. The body was floating a foot about the ground and a dark aura could be seen coming out of it.The creature, ever so glad to see the Pokedex Holder, smiled a nasty smirk. With the soulless eyes of the body it was possessing, it kept staring at him amusingly."

Sequel to Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy set for 35 countries
This is the world as remade by lawyers. This is why movies are shit reboot after shit reboot. This is why TV does shit reboot after shit reboot. Art becomes "property," like fucking real estate. Those who can't do, who can never understand, rape the dreams of creators and turn them into whores for all the world to see.

Book publishers are incentivizing midlist authors to abandon them for Amazon
So when you're a company that's dealing with revenues in the billions (with a B), suddenly a product that can only sell a few thousand units and is ultimately "unscalable," isn't worthy of investment. So instead they invest in products that have the potential to not only sell millions of units, but also spawn spin-off merchandise and movie deals.
This has been happening for quite some time. It was evident way back in the early 1980s. Alarms were sounded back in the 1970s.
And here's something the publishers haven't taken into account. Even books that can grow into the kind of scale they seek don't need them.
Exhibit A, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first appeared in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984 in Dover, New Hampshire. The concept arose from a humorous drawing sketched out by Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming and bad television with Laird. Using money from a tax refund, together with a loan from Eastman's uncle, the young artists self-published a single-issue comic intended to parody four of the most popular comics of the early 1980s: Marvel Comics' Daredevil and New Mutants, Dave Sim's Cerebus, and Frank Miller's Ronin. The TMNT comic series has been published in various incarnations by various comic book companies since 1984.
The Turtles started their rise to mainstream success when a licensing agent, Mark Freedman, sought out Eastman and Laird to propose wider merchandising opportunities for the franchise. In 1986, Dark Horse Miniatures produced a set of 15 mm lead figurines. In January 1987, Eastman and Laird visited the offices of Playmates Toys Inc, a small California toy company that wanted to expand into the action figure market. Development was undertaken by a creative team of companies and individuals: Jerry Sachs, ad man of Sachs-Finley Agency, brought together the animators at Murakami-Wolf-Swenson headed by Fred Wolf. Wolf and his team combined concepts and ideas with the Playmates marketing crew, headed by Karl Aaronian, VP of sales Richard Sallis and VP of Playmates Bill Carlson.
The established publishers can never, ever be as hungry as an individual who can see an opportunity and pounce on it.
Just ask — and here's Exhibit B for the win — the McDonald brothers who met Ray Kroc!

Marvel and Jack Kirby estate settle their disputes
The smartest bit is in the Comments:
The people who say "this is just people fighting about money" always then seem to follow it up by spitting on Kirby's heirs by saying "they didn't have anything to do with it". Well, the execs and investors in Disney didn't have anything to do with Kirby's success either, yet they've made a ton of money on his ideas.
Jack Kirby and his heirs are flesh and blood people with names and faces attached to them.
All the Suits who have fed — and are now feeding — on the trough that Kirby built are nameless and invisible.

A Writerly Chill at Jeff Bezos' Fire
When Jeff Bezos tells writers to keep quiet, they obey.
Let me get my stance on this out the way first: Fuck you, Jeff Bezos. Fuck you.
So for four years, unknown writers have supped and danced and played and took graft from Bezos and shut the fuck up about it.
To all those writers: Fuck you too. And out yourselves.
I'd be very curious to know if a certain whore who railed against self-publishing, then changed his mind, then changed his mind again and went with Amazon as his publisher ever attended. Yes, I mean you, Konrath. This is a question that will likely never be answered by him. He hasn't the fucking guts to stand up like a man. Except as a pose to fleece his sheep.
Fuck all of you. Fuck you and your pro-Amazon posts that you wrote while Amazon freebies sat beside your keyboard. Fuck you for presenting yourselves as professional and detached observers of digital publishing while you weren't. Fuck you for not having the backbone to stand up to The New Digital Man.
I knew that book publishing was filled with unprincipled underhanded double-dealing scum. But writers? Writers are supposed to be above that kind of shit.
Out yourselves, you fucking pig cowards. Cleanse what little is left of your soul.
Scarlett Johansson sues author of novel that 'stole her image'
Scarlett Johansson is suing for €50,000 (£41,000) in damages the author and publisher of a novel that features a character who closely resembles her.
The American actress claims that La Première Chose qu'On Regarde (The First Thing We Look At) violates her privacy and constitutes a "fraudulent and illicit use of her name, her fame and her image" for commercial gain – allegations the book's publisher has dismissed as "crazy".
According to Vincent Toledano, the 28-year old actress's lawyer, the bestselling work by Grégoire Delacourt, published in March last year, also contains "defamatory claims about her private life".
I really like the work that Scarlett Johansson does. Just her voice alone in the movie Her was brilliant.
But this lawsuit shows that she has zero understanding of creative rights, a greed beyond bounds, and is destined to be a transient footnote in what could have otherwise been a lasting career.
Because she is a rank amateur at heart.
What's the difference between a shitty little child amateur and an adult professional who lasts?

The Maharashtra unit of the BJP will be vastly handicapped by the absence of its senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde, especially with the assembly elections just four months away. The party had decided that if it secures more seats than its ally Shiv Sena, it will recommend Munde's name for the CM's post.
Now, even if the party has more MLAs than the Sena, it lacks a leader who enjoys mass following like Munde did and the stature to occupy the CM's chair. Union minister Nitin Gadkari is not keen to return to the state and so, in all probability, the party will accept Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray for the coveted post.
With Munde's demise, it will take a long time for the state BJP to find a leader of his calibre to lead the party. State BJP president Devendra Fadnavis is extremely articulate and enjoys the full backing of the RSS, but he is not known to have a mass base outside Vidarbha – region where he hails from. Also, he belongs to the Brahmin community, which has a relatively small presence in the state.
Thus, the power equation between the Sena and BJP will change in favour of the former in Munde's absence as Uddhav is politically far more experienced than any state BJP leader. Also, the Sena chief has the advantage of being accepted as a pan-Maharashtra leader as was evident during the Lok Sabha elections. Munde was the only leader in the state unit who had followers across every district and taluka of the state.
The Shiv Sena-BJP alliance came to power in Maharashtra in 1995 on the back of a storm generated by Munde across the state by campaigning against Sharad Pawar for his alleged links with some controversial people. Munde believed there were only two stalwarts in the state – his friend Bal Thackeray and opponent Sharad Pawar. Therefore, he attacked Pawar and ensured a victory for the saffron alliance.
Even before the Pramod Mahajan-Munde combine was promoted by RSS leader Vasantrao Bhagwat, Munde brought dividends for a Brahmanical party like the BJP by attracting the OBCs, especially the Vanjari community into the fold. He also spread the party across the state and also in Marathwada.
There will be a void in the OBC leadership in the BJP as well as the state after Munde's death as there are no major OBC leaders except Chhagan Bhujbal who have a following of their own. Munde managed to mobilise the OBCs in Maharashtra in a massive way post the Mandal Commission in favour of the party.
More importantly, Munde was one of the architects of the Sena-BJP alliance and was the go-between for the BJP and Thackeray family. After Mahajan's death, Munde had taken over the role of placating late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray and Uddhav whenever relations soured between the alliance partners. Munde was one of the few leaders in the BJP who the Thackerays trusted and had an open house at Matoshree. The younger generation of BJP leaders do not have that kind of connect with the Shiv Sena leadership and the political maturity to overcome the vagaries of the alliance.
"It will be a difficult period for the Sena too as Munde used to handle tacky issues tactfully. It's a huge loss... we are not confident of the new generation of leaders," said a Sena leader.
Munde never lost an election and won the Lok Sabha polls this year too despite Pawar launching a sustained subtle caste campaign against him. He also managed to stitch an alliance of five parties along with the Sena to ensure that they swept the polls. Munde also roped in strong Congress-NCP leaders into the BJP and got them to fight elections against the opposition heavyweights. Eventually, they managed to defeat Congress-NCP candidates.
Now, the BJP lacks a mass leader to lead the election campaign in the assembly polls. The party will also need to find a good negotiator to ensure that it gets its due while negotiating with the Sena for seat-sharing and resolving contentious issues like contenders for chief ministership.
Political analyst Surendra Jondhale told dna: "The BJP will have to face difficult times now. Munde was the social face of the BJP and mobilised the OBCs heavily post Mandal. After Mahajan's death, Munde, by his sheer hard work, managed to rise above other leaders in the BJP. It has to be seen whether the BJP can manage to capitalise on its massive win in the recent elections in the absence of Munde."

Product description
For more than forty years Jan Gehl has helped to transform urban environments around the world based on his research into the ways people actually use - or could use - the spaces where they live and work. In this revolutionary book, Gehl presents his latest work creating (or recreating) cityscapes on a human scale. He clearly explains the methods and tools he uses to reconfigure unworkable cityscapes into the landscapes he believes they should be: cities for people. Taking into account changing demographics and changing lifestyles, Gehl emphasizes four human issues that he sees as essential to successful city planning. He explains how to develop cities that are lively, safe, sustainable, and healthy. Focusing on these issues leads Gehl to think of even the largest city on a very small scale. For Gehl, the urban landscape must be considered through the five human senses and experienced at the speed of walking rather than at the speed of riding in a car or bus or train. This small-scale view, he argues, is too frequently neglected in contemporary projects. In a final chapter, Gehl makes a plea for city planning on a human scale in the fast-growing cities of developing countries. A 'Toolbox', presenting key principles, overviews of methods, and keyword lists, concludes the book. The book is extensively illustrated with over 700 photos and drawings of examples from Gehl's work around the globe.

I have never heard of banana pudding but it sounds fabulous. What is it, I'm assuming one of those american creamy pudding things not an english dense with fruit cakey pudding thing?
This is the first year I'm not having Christmas at my house. I actually get to go somewhere and be a person bringing stuff instead of being the person providing 80% of the stuff. It will be a much smaller space but they have two balconies
and it's summer.. and there will be lots of BEER and CHICKEN and K-Pop and Shakira which we play every year for some reason. And salads, many lovely salads..

Barro Colorado Island
January 14, 2004
Vaguely resembling a giant sea turtle, Barro Colorado Island is a heavily forested patch of land rising up out of the waters of Gatun Lake, situated at the northern end of the Panama Canal. The island is the focus of the JASON Project's Expedition XV (Rainforests at the Crossroads), in which students, teachers, and scientists will conduct a detailed examination of the rainforest ecosystem. The true-color scene above was acquired on March 29, 2002, by the DigitalGlobe Corporation's QuickBird satellite. At better than 1-meter resolution, the satellite reveals Barro Colorado Island in stunning detail. Several small cumulus clouds float silently over the western portion of the island, casting shadows on the surface.

Garuda Indonesia has raised $530 million in its initial public offering, selling a 28% stake in the company.
A total of 6.3 billion shares were sold, of these 4.4 billion were newly issued, and 1.9 billion came from state-owned Bank Mandiri, says a senior executive at Garuda.
Following the share sale 69% of Garuda remains in the hands of the government. The remaining 3% is owned by Indonesia's airport authority.
Garuda shares will commence trading on the Jakarta Stock Exchange on 11 February. On 13 January Garuda kicked off marketing for the IPO, planning to sell up to 9.4 billion shares, priced between 750 rupiah to 1,100 rupiah each. This represented a 36.5% stake of the carrier, and would have generated 10.3 trillion rupiah ($1.1 billion) - far more than was actually raised.
Analysts have attributed the IPO's weak reception to market fears that the offering was overvalued. In addition, there are broader concerns about the outlook for Indonesian shares in 2011, which some feel could be due for a correction after their strong run in 2010.
