PORTLAND -- The group Occupy Portland, which has set up protests in a spot reserved for the 2011 Portland Marathon, has been touting the cooperative efforts of marathon organizers.
Occupy Portland plans to remain in Chapman Square indefinitely and also will spread tonight to the Park Blocks at PSU, a statement on the group's website read Saturday. Occupiers at the PSU Park Blocks will be meeting on Sunday morning to plan a march back to Chapman Square to build support for our movement and reach out to citizens downtown.
The march was planned to coincide with the marathon's last runner crossing the finish line.
Portland Marathon spokeswoman Katie Edlin told KGWSaturday that protesters and marathon organizers were working well together, saying several people from both groups had breakfast together. She added that some of the protesters had decided to volunteer for the marathon.
We are excited about cooperation with the Portland Marathon Committee to make this a great experience for all involved, the Occupy Portland statement read.

While the two parties were working with city leaders to find a compromise Friday afternoon over Portland's Chapman Square park, police said they were not expecting any major issues.
The mood in the parks is relaxed, and people who are camping are otherwise following park rules, said Lt. Robert King with the Portland Police Bureau. We will continuously monitor the camping situation, but are not expecting any large-scale issues.
About 500 demonstrators who spent the night in two downtown Portland parks said Friday morning they hoped to coexist with Portland Marathon participants and organizers, despite remaining in one of two parks reserved by permit for the marathon.
The protest group had left Lownsdale Square early Friday morning and concentrated in Chapman Square, but marathon organizers have permits for both parks through Sunday for the popular annual running event that boasts about 10,000 participants.

In a press release late Friday morning, Marathon Director Les Smith added: The Portland Marathon is confident they will reach a compromise that meets the needs of all parties.
Occupy Portland organizers held a brief press conference at 8:45 a.m. Friday to announce that they planned to remain in Chapman Square.
We support Portland Marathon, said spokeswoman Kari Koch. We do not want to disrupt their event. We want to accommodate both events. We plan to continue indefinitely.
Marathon Director Les Smith told KGW that the marathon used the streets around the parks, not the parks themselves. They just needed to keep people from getting in the way of runners.
The main thing we have to be able to do is keep control so that spectators and other people don't crash the finish line and ruin everything for those people who have run 26.2 miles, or a half marathon, or what ever it may be, said Smith.
If police ask us to leave, we will sit down, added protest organizer Lena Walker, we will allow them to arrest us.
But police were not necessarily planning to make any arrests.
While we have asked protesters to leave, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, we do not plan to forcibly remove people from Chapman Square.
Two people were arrested overnight for using an Occupy Portland stencil to paint the slogan on some buildings and on the hood of a police car.
A crowd estimated by Portland Police of between 5,000 and 6,000 eventually massed over the course of Thursday afternoon. Protest organizers estimated Friday that 10,000 people had participated.
Background: Portland protest largest in U.S. on Thursday
The corporations have taken our futures away from us and we're just not going to stand by and let that happen, one protester told KGW.
We are not the problem, another man said. The problems are the bankers on Wall Street that destroyed this economy.
TriMet briefly halted Green and Yellow MAX service along the Portland Transit Mall on 5th and 6th avenues, due to the protesters.
By Thursday afternoon, nearly 7,000 people had liked the Occupy Portland Facebook page. A similar page for Occupy Salem noted that people plan to take over a park next to the Capitol Monday.
In New York, 700 people were arrested over the weekend marching over the Brooklyn Bridge. The protesters range from college students worried about their job prospects to middle-age workers who have been recently terminated.

More about the Mockingbird Foundation
The Mockingbird Foundation is the leading provider of historical information about the band Phish and its music. Since its inception in 1996, the Foundation has been operated entirely by volunteer fans of the band, without any salaries or paid staff. It fundraises for music education for children by celebrating the music of Phish through books, innovative recordings, creative donation premiums, and special events for the Phish fan community. Mockingbird funds are distributed twice per year through a two-tiered application process that is one of the most competitive in the country, able to fund fewer than one percent (1%) of the initial inquiries received. The process has so far provided 150 grants, in 36 states, totaling $500,134.
More about Phix
Since forming during Phish's hiatus in 2001, Phix has played over 450 shows
in over 40 states, Canada and Mexico. They have learned and performed well over
150 different songs from Phish's expansive catalog of originals and covers,
making them the world's most accomplished Phish tribute act.
Colorado may be their home state, but VT was Phish's, so come to the northeast boys!
Come back to Columbus, OH! These guys are amazing.. last time they came they played Reba, Divided Sky, and Foam just to name a few, and I could have sworn i was listening to phish.. and I wasn't too intoxicated!
I would rather endure a ferocious mouth raping by a gorilla while listening to a jet record on repeat; then have to spend the end of the year with a phish cover band. Maybe they will play destiny unbound!!!!!!!!!!!
good story
good cover band........i think? i was at the charlotte halloween show if i remember right? you know i forget?
these guys sound good and they play some fantastic material! great song writing!
New Year Eve with Phix Well worth the drive from Seattle.
Ohhh Man!! I wish I could make it to the Gamehenge show at 12 Galaxies! DAMN!
Grate band! Go see them if you get the chance, they will blow you away!!!
thats funny...i used to do the phish new year run every year and it still seems to be some of the best live music i have ever heard. there is no way any tribute will amount to a shred of what i saw then. there is no comparison. phix is fools gold. "forming during Phish's hiatus in 2001" ....cha ching! lets make a buck!!!
I'd like to take the next few seconds out of my night to think of myself as a really clever and witty person and use this comment box to write a comment that everyone will laugh at due to my ability to bash a cover band and say something that really nobody cares about and how cover bands suck and how they should all be shot. But I'm a Phish fan, I take care of my shoes and I'm all about the music.
What a fucking joke!! You are not a music fan if you go to this show. If you think you are then you are dumb as a rock!!!
I would really rather that nobody were shot over it...its just that Phish worked hard for what they had. before they were popular they were just weird and hard to market. Phish worked through it. they used thier brains to create somthing new and worked hard to get the world to take thier verry strange music seriously...i mean, can anyone imagine how hard it must have been at first for Phish? phish saw the mountain and climbed it! Phix saw the lodge Phish built at the summit and they want a free ride to the top. now they want respect from other artists? they expect the old school phish heads to buy into what they are doing and it just doesnt work that way. when they started out they were actually surprised when they got emails from people who thought they were bullshit! that just goes to show how new they were to the scene.Phish condones Phix because they are a big advertisement for the goods they market. Mike Gordon walked out of thier show a few years ago in NYC. that should tell us somthing. especially when he goes across town, hears the Duo and hires them to play ORIGIONAL MUSIC on tour with them. what was Mike attracted to? ORIGIONAL MUSIC! the real stuff! does anyone undersatan what im trying to say?
You tools think you are professional haters? NOBODY CAN "OUTHATE" me! First, if you're gonna hate, you have to learn how to spell, or it just makes you look like an idiot. For instance...Evil Funk...um... you spelled "original" umm... well... "ORIGIONAL"...twice. And I'm not sure what "undersatan" means. You must dabble in some cultish activities. Satan will help you spell if you ask him. He listens to your questions and helps you hate properly. I am starting my school of hate this spring. Would anyone like to enroll? I have already accepted fordaj for his "I would rather endure a ferocious mouth raping by a gorilla" statement. Now thats creative! A+! Evilfunk's lack of creativity and improper grammar makes him comparable to a tribute band! You're a tribute hater! hahahahahahahahahahahaha...loser.
no hate, no shooting, nothing but a seasoned and honest opinion here. shit, if im so wrong why should you care what i say? I take the communication of sounds - music - verry seriously...i dont really care about spelling at all (i do not attend rock and roll 101 like the phix...i know the ground i stand on...again, unlike phix)...and there are also some tributes i love - TJ Kurk, the Mingus Big Band - I cant front on Bustle in you Hygeraw either, brah... (did i missspell brah, brah?)...in fact when some were in school learning thier abc's i was out study'n live music up close and personal. i followed most of your favorite bands around when thay were as big as phix (some are huge now) and my education payed off, trust me. i got it like phix dont. i did it all playing origional (augh-ridge-oh-nal) music. i even did it with players who Phish seek to play with now (unlike the players in Phix) i write jam rock tunes all day every day as a hobby and way of life - i cant be stopped...its a disease to create some times. not that it is hard to do so. its really easy, actually. a fucking school child could do this...why cant phix?also, tell me - does my bad spelling, heavy reliance on basics (an artist should get thier own bag...ect) or the fact that you point out my shitty spelling make Phixs blasphemous music any better or even worth the electricity they suck when they play? NO NOT AT ALL! youall are wearin' CLOWNSHOES! (laughing at your attempt to create)
Whatever boys. Relax. This is a super fun show. Crowd is there to see Phish Covers. Get it? A Phish cover band. It's not to see the EvilFunk can't be stopped amazing rock jam god because of his seasoned eduaction ... yeah yeah yeah ....
A god? because i dont like the idea of a band CHEATING? im nobodys god nor do I claim to be. ..just a kid who quit highschool to go see phish in '92. i dont regret it either! but this is not about me...sorry if i took the discussion in that direction...i want to talk about the phix...here, ill tell a tale real quick of a guy who saw Phish once in college years before finding a classified listing for a phish cover band. the dude joins the band and instantly starts posing as the worlds biggest phish head. anything to belong, right? he has his nose in a book written by fans about the band and he is trying so hard to fit in....going on phish tour with his bandmates to promote the phix....all that...but somehow the elder phishers around dont buy it. this dude is so out of context as one of us that it is not funny - he acts surprised when people start emailing him expressing discontent. now if you know the phish scene and you know what phish heads are about you know that at least some phish heads are not going to go for this kind of husstle. "i will not support it" is all one phish tour head tells me of phix. any way, the dude had no idea what he was getting into. he thought he was joining an areosmith tribute and nobody would say anything but how great he was...ha ha ha ha ha! so im at a phish show after the hiatus and i see this jackass walking down shakedown (for lack of a better word) with a video camera about an hour before the show. with a VIDEO CAMERA? foolio was not in front of will call, not at the gate where people are waiting to go in...not where traffic is clustering up to get into the lot so he can get all of the 'wilson420' liscence plates or phish stickers on BMWs but RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OFFICE...RIGHT THERE WHERE FAMILY KNOWS NOT TO BRING A CAMERA! just wandering into his new village recording us...the people who make the wheels turn on the scene..now you are going to tell me this guy is one of mine? please! this poser was hot for oppertunity and in the right place at the right time when he joined the band - not that the abnd was any better... i have more stories... so, lets compare these guys to trey - an artist like Trey Anastasio will turn down gigs with his hero Phil Lesh so he can be known as his own man and these jerkoffs try to compare themselves to him while they do this? ha ha ha ha ha! whats cool about a band like phish and GD to me is the idea that both of these bands sound nothing like anything else that came beforew them. the GD, jam and all of this is about musical adventure. going where no band has gone before. taking a song where it has never been before. what does phix have to do with this fundimental concept that defines phish and thier legacy? how can some dope show up yesterday and pose as one of us and not expect to hear from the people who really understand what phish is about? these guys are skilled and talented. anyone smart enough to do waht they have done can make thier own band and go out on the road and make it happen for themselves... if they are willing to work for the craft of making it happen. if these guys were doing this locally for kicks i would be a bit amused and probably respect it on some level but this is 100% about comin up.here...try this. since you (mr henry rollins) are so concerned about spelling and coloring between the lines (how anti phish) why dont you see if your spell checker has ever heard of Phish. i remember trying to write a review of a phish show i saw to hand in at school in the 9th grade when phish was almost as big as the Phix and my spell checker kept spitting the word back at me.
from the new Bob Weir interview on jambase>>>>Jambase: What kind of stuff are you listening to these days? Weir: I don't listen to much pop music. I listen to old R&B. I listen to modern classical. I listen to jazz, mostly older jazz. Some blues. Jambase: What about some of the bands that would be more on the jam side of the fence today? Weir: Not a whole hell of a lot of it because I don't want that stuff in my head, what other people are doing in my ilk. It's bound to happen where if something catches my fancy it's going to come out through my hands. I would encourage jam bands not to listen to each other so that they continue to develop their individuality.Bob said it...not just me.
what does evil know....fuck him! im a professional cusitie and i appriciate phix based on the idea that they are custies too. for custies - by custies. thats how i like it!
The more Evilfunk spews the turds from his head on this board, the more we all see how much of an idiot he is. Keep going, man. You are entertaining us all. For a band you hate so much, you sure do give them alot of attention, and seem to know quite a bit about them. Are you secretly sleeping with one of the band members? And you are taking out your sexual frustration on this messageboard? I think there are some professional jamband therapists that can help you. PS: I'd love to know where I could find your songwriting catalog and list of players you've jammmed with. I'm sure its vast, brilliant, and most impressive. Please post it on here. We'd all love to hear some stuff you've written. Maybe Trey will cover one of your songs someday!
Mr Larf is totally right! evil, untill you are ready to make a living pretending you are someone other than yourself you will never know the joys of music! untill you have sucessfully stolen another grown mans identity you are nobody! ....hey, you wanted a pissin macth! heres a list of venues Evilfunk has played in Phix's back yard: Red Rocks Ampitheater Fiddlers Green The Fox Theater *The Gothic Theater *The Boulder Theater * the content of evils last preformance at theese venues 98% improvised proving only that a lucky retard can make up ooorrrigggiiionnnalll music but Phix cant!thats just in your back yard, Phix...do you want me to continue? i bet you bigshots never even heard of these places.this all means verry little...but - you asked for credentials.

Ex-official accused of molesting cadets at Army, Navy academy
"I'm frustrated and I'm saddened because it's a black cloud over every alumnus that has ever had the privilege of walking across the campus," said John Burden, a 1963 graduate and the academy's unofficial school historian. "The vast majority of people on this campus are honest and have a sense of integrity and loyalty."
According to its website, the Army and Navy Academy's mission is "to educate and develop young men of good character."
Founded in 1910 in Pacific Beach, the school moved north to Carlsbad in 1936. By 2004, it had grown to an enrollment of about 322 boys, in grades seven through 12, from 10 states and 11 countries.
In 2009, the school began to move forward with a master plan to renovate and expand its Carlsbad Boulevard campus. A key component of that project — a new $11 million sports complex — opened this month.
Barton's high-profile arrest could make it harder for the academy to raise an estimated $65 million needed to finish the ambitious renovations.
Burden said fundraising is crucial to the future of the academy and that he hoped the money would still be donated.
He also said it would be unfair to call the series of incidents a pattern of sexual abuse.
"You have to look at where and when things happened," said Burden, adding that he hoped police would reveal more details of the allegations against Barton when he's arraigned Tuesday. "These incidents could have happened many years ago."
Finaldi said even if the charges stem from incidents in the distant past, it would be hard for him to believe abuse wasn't ongoing.
"Sexual predators don't stop themselves on their own," he said, noting that Barton's name came up many times while Finaldi was investigating the school for the lawsuits he filed in 2008 and 2010. "He had unfettered access to students, and he has a history of putting himself in places where he was alone with kids."
Finaldi said Barton had been disciplined for inappropriate behavior at least once, and that school officials should have been more suspicious.
"He was single, had never been married and always lived on campus alone," Finaldi said. "He had also bounced around from school to school before he got there, which should be a red flag."

J-Lo's Boyfriend Complains, Kim's Stalker & Kaley's New Tattoo: It's The Hollywood Hotsheet!
Jennifer Lopez' boy-toy has a big complaint about his sugar mama!
Her gum chewing. The National Enquirer says Casper Smart is tired of her chomping on her gum like a horse…making smacking and popping sounds that drive him crazy. The tab says the toy goes through her purse and even her American Idol dressing room gathering packs of gum to keep her from chewing…by the way that was her New Year's resolution…clearly it hasn't worked.
Kim came face to face with a creepy stalker at the Kardashian compound!
The compound, AKA her mom's house, is where Kim and Kanye are staying. TMZ says the 20-year-old man got past Kris Jenner's gate and was peeking in the windows of the house when Kim ran into him. She called security and the guy ran and was caught a few blocks away where he said he was Kendall Jenner's boyfriend and Justin Bieber's stepbrother…he is now on a 5150 psychiatric hold.
Who has Kaley Cuoco in the divorce pool?
The Big Bang Theory star did something that almost assuredly guarantees her recent marriage to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting won't last…she got a tattoo. Kaley inked her wedding date—December 31, 2013—in between her shoulder blades…in Roman numerals…which is XXII, XXXI, XIII. Got that? The tat matches one on her hubby's arm and is actually quite charming.

'Nando' now a tropical storm, more Luzon areas under Signal No. 1
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – More areas in Luzon were placed under Signal No. 1 as "Nando" (international name Kong-Rey), the 14th cyclone in the Philippines for 2013, intensified into a tropical storm, the state weather bureau said Monday afternoon.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Signal No. 1 (45 to 60 kph winds) was hoisted in the following areas:
-Batanes Group of islands
-Cagayan including Calayan and Babuyan Group of Islands
Nando was now packing maximum sustained winds 65 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 80 kph.
The storm was last observed 270 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora. It is forecast to move northwest at 15 kph, Pagasa said.
It is expected to exit by Thursday if it maintains its speed.
Based on forecast models, Nando made no indications of making landfall, Pagasa said.
Heavy to intense rains are seen within its 400 kilometer-diameter, and it will enhance the southwest monsoon.
Light to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms are forecast in Metro Manila and the rest of Southern Luzon.
Sea travel is still risky over the eastern seaboard of Central and Southern Luzon.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
2 Dickson Road, Singapore, Singapore
Neighborhood: Little India
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Maybe Singapore's once-conservative hotel scene is loosening up across the board. Or maybe it's just Loh Lik Peng. Anyway there's no denying the fact that hotels like the New Majestic have done their part to add a stylish and youthful dimension to Singaporean hospitality. Wanderlust, if it's possible, takes the evolution a step further; a twenty-nine room boutique hotel in the city's funky, gentrifying Little India neighborhood, it's the purest distillation yet of Peng's eclectic approach, a run-down antique building dressed up in well-curated retro furnishings and ultra-contemporary design flourishes.
Focus was never the object. Four different design firms designed Wanderlust's four floors, and they spaces they created vary wildly, from the neon riot of the second floor to the pared-down bedrooms of the third floor (complete with the drawn-on outlines of lavish luxury furnishings on the walls) to the live-in installation art on the fourth. It's a lively place above all else — some boutiques of this size turn into semi-private apartment houses, but Wanderlust's vibe is communal. There's no room service, for one, and the dishes at the French-inspired bistro are sized to share. If you want mellow and beige, Singapore's got plenty of that too — Wanderlust is for those wishing to expand the edges of their comfort zones.

What I liked:
Stayed in the sister hotel for 1 night and from the images was excited to stay in another "design" concept hotel in Singapore. Cool foyer and meeting area.
The design/marketing material provided is very creative - ie. check in document.
What the hotel could do better:
I was in a pantone room - red. Maybe great in concept, awful in reality. Hard to see in the room, not to mention get ready whilst under "red red" lights! I had no idea how my make up would look until out in daylight.
Functionality of the room design is also not strong. As cool as it maybe, a nespresso machine at the end of my Futon-esk bed is not great. Finding powerpoints is like a treasure hunt (not to mention there are none with close access to a mirror- good luck drying your hair).
Restaurant looked cool and like yummy food (unfortunately i missed the "Eating" periods and was unable to try out any food nor a coffee).

Finding the constellations
Let's make our first step in learning the position of the constellations. Use the diagram and the instructions to see if you can find them the next clear night.
Finding the Walla Walla circumpolar constellations:
Find the Big Dipper, which is in the constellation Ursa Major.
Using the two stars on the side of the bowl opposite the handle as a pointer, follow a line connecting these stars and leading from the bottom of the dipper to a lone star about halfway up from the horizon. This is the star Polaris; it is the end of the handle of the Little Dipper in the constellation Ursa Minor.
Starting in the middle of the Big Dipper, move to Polaris and continue in a straight line about the same distance to find a W. This is the constellation Cassiopeia.
The top of the W faces the constellation Cepheus, which looks like a stick house with a squarish base and a triangular roof.
Follow the pointer stars in the bowl of the Big Dipper about halfway to Polaris. Follow the dim stars around the little dipper and then turn away from Cepheus. Use the chart to find the constellation Draco.
Stargazing apps

For Android: Star Chart
On any given clear night, you can see more than 1,000 stars.
From the beginning of time people have been grouping the stars into images and objects. Six-thousand-year-old cuneiform texts from the Euphrates River Valley tell of the lion, the bull, and the scorpion.
By the fifth century B.C., these groupings had been associated with myths by the Greek astronomer Eratosthenes in his book Catasterismi. Today we call these groupings stellar constellations.
Many of our modern constellations can be found in the Almagest, a book written by the Roman astronomer Ptolemy in Alexandria about A.D. 150.
The Almagest listed 48 constellations divided into three groups — 21 Northern, 12 Zodiacal and 15 Southern constellations. These were the accepted constellations for more than 1,000 years.
But from Alexandria, Ptolemy could not see the extreme southern stars because they never rose above the horizon. It therefore fell to others to add these constellations.
From the 16th to the 19th centuries, astronomers added and deleted constellations to complete their own catalogs of the sky. There was no common set of constellations.
In 1919 a group of astronomers from around the world formed the International Astronomical Union.
One of their firsts tasks was to create an "official" list of the constellations. The list they approved in 1922, containing 88 constellations, is the one we still use today.
Six years later they improved the list by adding boundaries to each constellation. The entire sky was now divided into 88 regions, with each region bearing the name of the constellation in that region. Any object in the sky, such as a star, is in one and only one region.
If you know where the constellations are, you can use them to find stars and other celestial objects. For example, the star Polaris is in the constellation Ursa Minor; Saturn is currently in the constellation Virgo — planets move from one region to another.
Therefore, one of the first things a stargazer should do is to start learning the locations of the constellations.
From a given location on Earth you cannot see all the constellations. For example, the farther north you are, the fewer southern constellations you can see. Location is therefore one determining factor of what constellations you can see.
The other factor is time of year. We can only see the stars at night when our side of the Earth is opposite the Sun. As the Earth orbits the Sun during the year, our view of the night stars changes, resulting in winter, spring, summer, and fall sets of constellations.
You will never see Orion in the summer, for example, because it is a winter constellation.
As the Earth rotates during the night, the constellations appear to move from east to west. But constellations that are above the Earth's poles, both north and south, will appear to circle a point in the sky above the pole.
They will not set; they are visible all night every night of the year. These are called circumpolar constellations, and their number depends on your latitude; higher latitudes have more.
In Walla Walla there are five circumpolar constellations: Ursa Major (Big Bear), Ursa Minor (Little Bear), Cassiopeia (Queen of Ethiopia), Cepheus (King of Ethiopia), and Draco (Dragon).
Marty Scott is the astronomy instructor at Walla Walla University, and also builds telescopes and works with computer simulations. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Uruguay has become the first country in the world to make it legal to grow, sell and consume marijuana, but that doesn't mean there will be cannabis cafes popping up on the streets of the capital or in the popular holiday resorts on the Atlantic coast.
Confusion over the country's historic marijuana bill, which was passed on Tuesday, has already prompted a Montevideo-based comedy teampHumor.tv to set up a spoof pharmacy, which claimed to be the first officially licensed vendor.
"We want to be the pharmacy of choice for pot heads," the pharmacist says conspiratorially to unsuspecting customers, caught on hidden cameras. He then proceeds to push a tray of government-branded brownies, before a stooge cop comes in and tries to arrest a couple of highly confused students. The video has already gone viral in Uruguay and you can watch it above with English subtitles.
Only pharmacies will be allowed to sell the drug and certainly not as loosely as in the video. The rules state that consumers have to be over 18, on a government register and Uruguayan citizens. Sales are also to be limited to 40g (1.4oz) per month. Registered users will also be able to grow up to six plants at home, but for personal use only.
President Jose Mujica has made it clear drug tourism is not a road he is looking to go down. So think twice before booking that flight (unless you're going for its other assets – its chilled-out beach towns, chic resorts, and

Desk staff did not offer help or bell person to get luggage to room. While room was only on the second floor, from ground level to lobby is already up one flight. Ask about handicapped parking, if you need it. I didn't notice any. That said the inn was great. The people were nice. Took the five dollar breakfast option which has a set menu, but I was allowed one substitution.

We were delighted with both the accommodations and the meals at the Rossmount. It is rare for us to stay at an inn or B&B, so was a very pleasant experience overall, and will prompt us to look at this option more often in the future. Would definitely return here for a another visit. Incredible dedication goes into the running of this fine establishment.

This Inn is absolutely stunning and in a stunning setting, however the reception area is messy and the staff is disorganized. When I could find someone they were very nice, just not all that helpful. We had to beg for some coffee in the morning. Seems like the Inn mostly exists for the dining and I thought the food was pretentious and disappointing.

Student unions demand rollback of fee hike
Counselling being held for the first time in Vijayawada
54 students register their names in Guntur
VIJAYAWADA: Counselling for admissions into engineering colleges based on EAMCET ranks began amidst protests by the activists of the Students Federation of India (SFI), the Progressive Democratic Students Union (PDSU) and the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) at the Government Polytechnic here on Wednesday. Counselling centre for engineering admissions was opened in the city for the first time this year, doing away with the need for students of this region to go to Guntur for the purpose.
The activists staged a dharna in front of the college, demanding a roll back of the hiked tuition fees in engineering colleges. Though the counselling began at the scheduled time of 10 a.m., the LCD display boards arranged in the counselling hall did not begin functioning till 10.50 a.m. because of a technical snag.
The scenario was laid back at the new counselling centre. The officials said not many students turned at the centre because counselling was being held here for the first time.
Narayana College student M. Mohan Sairam, who secured 20th rank, was the first to undergo counselling at the centre. The student opted for a seat in ECE at the JNTU College of Engineering, Kukatpalli.
Government Polytechnic principal and regional coordinator of EAMCET counselling Subhakar Raju told The Hindu that students had to first register themselves by submitting all the required certificates. Registration would be followed by verification of the certificates and then the candidate would be allowed into the counselling hall. One parent was also allowed into the counselling hall along with the student.
Mr. Raju said counselling was done for 77 students, who registered themselves at this Centre, and they were given allotment letters for the branch and college they selected.
The seats of only those students who paid the fee at the special counter arranged by the Indian Bank counter were confirmed, he said.
GUNTUR: On-line counselling for admissions into the engineering courses commenced at the Government Polytechnic for Women here on Wednesday amid protests from various student activists over the steep hike in the fees.
Of the 54 students registered at the centre, 52 secured admissions and two students opted out, according to coordinator and College principal K.S. Vara Prasad. M. Aneesh Kumar, ranked 20 and H. Satish Babu, ranked 23, opted for the ECE course in the J.N.T.U College of Engineering. Andhra Bank DGM Y. Prabhakara Rao and Indian Bank AGM M. Sambasiva handed over the allotment letters to students. Both the banks opened their on-line counters at the centre to enable the students pay the fees.

The need for a learning approach
In this section it is argued that we need to explore new approaches to deal with the uncertainty and the 'unbounded' nature of the climate change and because, as with all issues affecting decisions about allocation of scarce resources, there are multiple views to be accounted for and inequalities of power amongst the actors involved.
The complexity of climate change produces numerous uncertainties in the scientific data, the impacts and the consequences of the choices we make to ameliorate these impacts. In this section I look at how management of processes of adaptation can be achieved most effectively given these uncertainties and explore approaches to understanding how to make adaptive management as effective as possible.
Unbounded (or divergent) problems were described by Chapman (2002) as problems where:
- There is no clear argument about what exactly the problem is
- There is uncertainty and ambiguity as to how improvements might be made
- The problem has no limits in terms of the time and resources it could absorb.
Chapman argues that these problems require a different approach to planning and implementing solutions that recognises (rather than ignores) disagreement and uncertainty between different groups affected. It needs to be recognised that there are different perspectives on the problem definition as well as what a successful solution might be like. This requires a process of dialogue where the actors involved can listen to and understand the perspectives of others. Complexity theory postulates that new solutions emerge out of uncertainty. Building on this, Eyben (2005), comments, 'organised efforts [to direct change] more than partially confront the impossibility of ever understanding the totality of a system that is in constant flux. Composed of innumerable elements, continuously shaped and reformed through interaction upon each other, the system is constantly creating new elements that may in turn affect (loop back) and change those already in existence. Thus we cannot predict all the effects that any of our actions may have on the wider system, or indeed on ourselves as initiators of the action'.
Government and policy processes, have traditionally made decisions using theory based more on certainty, rationality and predictability that is unlikely to be achievable in the context of climate change adaptation. There has been a desire to state what kind of knowledge is acceptable as an indicator of success or change although, given the lack of certainty in outcome, there is a need to be open to the possibility of paradox or ambiguity. Without certainty, recommendations have to be made tentatively which is less attractive for people having to make decisions about strategy especially those that require significant financial commitment. Although, in some situations, focussing on improving results can lead to an enhanced performance it can also act to block learning in an unpredictable world (Eyben, (2005).
In order to enable a process of emergence there is a need for the actors involved to develop the ability to improvise rather than control processes; this requires investment in relationships and trust building, respect for difference and appreciation that there are many ways of seeing the world, over focus on outputs and results. This requires attention to the historical context of the problem and the meaning the different actors give to the problem, as well as the power relations between the actors involved and their history of interaction (Ostrom et al, 2002). Different actors may have very different moral perspectives, and power relations may hinder communication, agreement on purpose and equal access to information.
In taking an emergent, learning approach we challenge the dominant worldview that outcomes need to be predicted and that we are judged solely on our ability to achieve these outcomes. If we are open to learning we are open to things not turning out as we thought and we assume a position of humility (not infallibility).
Eyben (2005) observes that organisations make a difference not only through formal interventions related to their objectives but also through the relationships and influence that they have on others. Understanding the historical context of these relationships is important in examining power relations and thus possibilities for change and the development of more honest relationships.

Recipe for the month of July
Octopus Tentacles cooked for 12 hours at 68ºC on Mashed Potatoes with Pennyroyal
Chef Leonel Pereira
Ingredients (Serves 4):
1kg Large Octopus
1.5g Medium Potatoes
400g Onions
6 Garlic Cloves
150g Pennyroyal
300g Tomatoes
100g Fleur de Sel
5g Black Peppercorns (crushed)
1l Olive Oil4 Bay leaves
Preparation Method
Cook the whole octopus in a vacuum sealed bag with a little salt, olive oil and garlic for approximately 12 hours in a bain-marie at 68ºC, or use a Ronner. When ready, remove it from the bag, drain all the cooking water and cut into approximately 60g pieces. Brown in a sauté pan with a little olive oil, crushed garlic (skin on) and the bay leaves. Set aside.
Roast in the oven with skins on and covered in coarse salt for 35 minutes at 170ºC. When they are lukewarm, peel the skins off and mash with a fork. Set aside.
Blanch for a few seconds in boiling water, allow to cool and remove skin and seeds. Season with the pennyroyal, fleur de sel and chopped garlic and put in the oven for about an hour at 110ºC so some of the water can evaporate. Once ready, roughly chop and set aside.
Then, fry the chopped onions in olive oil, add the potatoes and season with chopped pennyroyal, fleur de sel and the crushed pepper. Finally, add the tomatoes and blend well. Top the potatoes with the octopus prepared earlier.
See the recipe on YouTube.

"Global progress in our efforts to educate and validate the role of sleep-disordered breathing in comorbid patient populations took a major step forward in the last three months. In September, the European Society of Cardiology published guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure. For the first time, the guidelines noted that patients with symptomatic heart failure frequently have sleep-related disorders (central or obstructive sleep apnea) and recommended treatment with CPAP for patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. This follows just three months after the International Diabetes Federation issued a consensus statement on sleep-disordered breathing and type II diabetes, where the substantial value of identifying and treating diabetic patients suffering from sleep-disordered breathing was also recognized and recommended. The increasing awareness among comorbidity specialists augurs well for the efforts and investment we are making in new markets including diabetes, occupational health and cardiology."

Chubby Cherub Antiques, Vintage, Collectibles
Chubby Cherub Antiques, Manchester, CT
We are offering this great Vintage Lotto Game which was manufactured in 1930 by Milton Bradley Co., Springfield, Mass, USA. This game is played the same way as bingo. There are cards to cover with little cut out cardboard pieces when a number is called out. The directions are on the inside cover of the box and the game is officially denoted as 4475S Game Of Lotto. There are pieces missing (the numbers that you'd call out to cover the number on the cards) and probably not enough tokens to cover a whole card - but, the game and the box are what caught my eye! The box is okay shape - one of the corners have been taped from the inside and the other three have some wear to them, but the colors on the box and the graphics of the game itself captures the eye!
Unique antiques, Vintage items and Collectibles!
Always accepting offers! Lots of new inventory - take a peek!

Fifa gives life bans to 41 South Koreans for match-fixing
Published on Jan 9, 2013 8:26 PM
SEOUL (REUTERS) - Forty-one South Korean players have been handed worldwide lifetime bans following a match-fixing scandal in the country's K-League, world governing body Fifa said on Wednesday.
The 41, charged after a domestic match-fixing investigation dating back to 2011, received lifetime bans from all football activity by the K-League and the Korea Football Association and Fifa's disciplinary committee extended the sanctions to have worldwide effect.
South Korean sport has been marred by match-fixing allegations in professional football, volleyball and baseball, forcing the government to declare war on the issue.
In February football officials scrapped the K-League Cup competition as part of sweeping changes brought in to avoid a repeat of last year's match-fixing scandal.

One night 4 university students were drinking till late night and didn't study for the test which was scheduled for the next day. In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty and weird as they could with grease and dirt. They then went up to the dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.
The dean was a just person so he said that you can have the re-test after 3 days. They said they will be ready by that time. On the third day they appeared before the dean. The dean said that this was a special condition that all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test.
They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last three days. The test consisted of 5 questions with total of 100 marks:
Mid Semester Coursework Examination
Instructions :
all questions are compulsory
any inconsistencies on any of the questions among the four students will result in all the candidates getting a zero mark.
Q.1. Write down your name----- (2 marks) q.2. Write the name of the bride and bridegroom at the wedding you
attended-----(30 marks)
q.3. What type of a car burst a tyre.------(20 marks) q.4. Which tyre burst ------- ( 28 marks ) q.5. Who was driving----------(20 marks)
end of paper
