UT Arlington In The News - Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Beamon quoted on aftermath of officer-involved shooting
KTVT/CBS 11 interviewed Krystal Beamon, a UT Arlington assistant sociology professor, about the media coverage of a Dallas police officer-involved shooting that led to a man's death. In the aftermath, local media repeatedly showed images of an angry crowd in an economically depressed neighborhood. "Anytime there's that opportunity where the cameras are watching us, we have someone listening to us, you're going to see that anger," Beamon said. "That breeds a certain level of despair and hopelessness, and so now the cameras are on and people are listening to us. We've been disenfranchised for so long and [now] I have a voice." The story is also posted on CBSDFW.com.
College Park District a part of Arlington retail growth
KXAS/NBC 5 included UT Arlington in a story about the retail growth that the city is experiencing. Retailers say landmarks such as Lincoln Square in north Arlington or the Highlands on the south end or up-and-coming spots such as The University of Texas at Arlington's College Park District -- a mixed-use development scheduled to open this fall -- in downtown, are all working together. "All those things have definitely helped us," said Pam Dawson, Lincoln Square mall manager. "We are very excited about downtown Arlington and all the things going on there. UTA went from 28,000 to 35,000 [students]; it's incredible. Great things are going on in south Arlington." The story is posted at NBCDFW.com.
New research institute has new focus, leader
Green Technology World, Education Technology, and Robotics Wire published a Fort Worth Star-Telegram story about The UT Arlington Research Institute and its new director, retired Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch. The institute has an ambitious 10-year goal of generating $100 million annually in research funding, and of increasing its workforce from 40 to 400.
UT Arlington collaboration could lead to faster, more efficient computers
Israeli-based e-magazine, Opli.net, reported that electrical engineers at The University of Texas at Arlington and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised a new laser for on-chip optical connections that could give computers a huge boost in speed and energy efficiency. The team published its findings in Nature Photonics.

Price Correction?
When will there be a correction in real estate prices?
As a buyer, I feel totally frustrated by these frequent price rises. Things are beyond control and I do not know who is buying at these levels.
Experts, please suggest whether it is a good idea to buy a piece of land and build a co-operative society ourselves?

I think you should not base your decision of buying a flat / holding on to that on hopeful market correction. It should be driven by affordability and need. I am not an economist but as an individual I don't see any major/marginal correction in near future. Even if there will be any, it will the time when may not attempt to buy flat(i.e. during recession). So, my advice to you is, determine your budget, fix up the location, go by the market/price trend in that area and grab if you find any suitable property.

Correction in real estate prices will not happen unless buyers get sophisticated and understand how real estate prices are set. The builders sell their flats to underwriters who hold on to them and then pass them off to consumers at higher prices.
Sold out, or merely held back? - Indian Express

Well, i would like to compare & contrast this with our stock market. We all know it touched a historic high and what not. But what about the retail participation? It is at really low level!
Why? Because the current stock prices dont make sense to most retail investors. I mean, look around..the auto sector is struggling..the banks are facing liquidity crunch and rising NPAs..the fmcg sector is bugged with inflation..others like oil/natural resources are fighting shady governance and vote bank politics. Its only the IT sector that is hearty but too only coz of exchange rate & marginal growth prospects?
Amid all this, do you think its justified for the stock market to rise this much? Only because some big funds sitting outside india have spare money to bet on?
Similar is the deal with RE market, the economics dont make sense but a big chuck of inventory is held by builders/investors who have easy money at their disposal.
And due to their clout..we retail home buyers slowly give in..after holding out too long and seeing affordability going out of window, desperation & frustuation takes over one day!

I thought this was funny, even the announcers think that P.K. Subban embellished in an attempt to get the a call from the referee. I also think this is why some people don't like Subban and his antics. I have said this a thousand times, he's an awesome talent, it's the other crap that takes away from his game. I will give him a 4.5 on that one. If Chris Neil really wanted to elbow him, he would know it.

Modern software systems for application areas like software engineering, CAD, or office automation are usually highly interactive and deal with rather complex object structures. For the realization of these systems a nonstandard database system is needed which is able to efficiently handle different types of coarse- and fine-grained objects (like documents and paragraphs), hierarchical and non-hierarchical relations between objects (like composition-links and cross-references), and finally attributes of rather different size (like chapter numbers and bitmaps). Furthermore, this database system should support incremental computation of derived data, undo/redo of data modifications, error recovery from system crashes, and version control mechanisms. In this paper, we describe the underlying data model and the functionality of GRAS, a database system which has been designed according to the requirements mentioned above. Furthermore, we motivate our central design decisions concerning its ...

Connecticut Court of Appeals Opinion on AC18920 Fiddelman v. Redmon, 2000
****************************************************** The ''officially released'' date that appears near the beginning of each opinion is the date the opinion will be published in the Connecticut Law Journal or the date it was released as a slip opinion. The operative date for the beginning of all time periods for filing postopinion motions and petitions for certification is the ''officially released'' date appearing in the opinion. In no event will any such motions be accepted before the ''officially released'' date. All opinions are subject to modification and technical correction prior to official publication in the Connecticut Reports and Connecticut Appellate Reports. In the event of discrepancies between the electronic version of an opinion and the print version appearing in the Connecticut Law Journal and subsequently in the Connecticut Reports or Connecticut Appellate Reports, the latest print version is to be considered authoritative. The syllabus and procedural history accompanying the opinion as it appears on the Commission on Official Legal Publications Electronic Bulletin Board Service and in the Connecticut Law Journal and bound volumes of official reports are copyrighted by the Secretary of the State, State of Connecticut, and may not be reproduced and distributed without the express written permission of the Commission on Official Legal Publications, Judicial Branch, State of Connecticut. ****************************************************** DONALD FIDDELMAN v. POPCORN REDMON (AC 18920) Foti, Hennessy and Zarella, Js. Argued April 28—officially released August 22, 2000 Counsel Popcorn Redmon, pro se, the appellee (defendant). Kathleen A. Hogan, for the appellee (plaintiff). Opinion PER CURIAM. The defendant, Popcorn Redmon, appeals from postjudgment orders effectuating portions of a dissolution of marriage judgment relating to the disposition of the former marital home owned by Redmon and the plaintiff, Donald Fiddelman. The plaintiff contends that intervening events have rendered the appeal moot. We agree and dismiss the appeal. The parties were divorced in 1991 and the dissolution judgment provided that the parties' jointly owned home was to be sold, and that the defendant was to be paid $250,000 from the proceeds.1 Claiming that the defendant's refusal to cooperate had hindered a sale, the plaintiff filed a motion in 1998 seeking, among other things, that the ownership of the home be transferred solely to him, but that the requirements of the original judgment regarding payment to the defendant continue. The plaintiff also sought orders concerning the removal of the defendant's personal property, which was still in the home. The trial court ordered that ownership of the home be vested solely in the plaintiff and that the defendant still receive the money to which she was originally entitled, and entered orders concerning the disposition of the defendant's personal property. The defendant now appeals from those orders. The plaintiff contends that intervening events have rendered the appeal moot. He claims that on June 18, 1999, new orders entered as to the removal of the defendant's personal property, which have superseded those challenged in this appeal, and that the new orders have been carried out by the defendant. In addition, the marital home has been sold. ''Since mootness implicates subject matter jurisdiction; Sadlowski v. Manchester, 206 Conn. 579, 583, 538 A.2d 1052 (1988); it can be raised at any stage of the proceedings. See Sobocinski v. Freedom of Information Commission, 213 Conn. 126, 134–35, 566 A.2d 703 (1989). We have consistently held that we do not render advisory opinions. If there is no longer an actual controversy in which we can afford practical relief to the parties, we must dismiss the appeal. Sadlowski v. Manchester, [supra, 583]. . . . Board of Education v. New Haven, 221 Conn. 214, 216, 602 A.2d 1018 (1992). . . . A case becomes moot when due to intervening circumstances a controversy between the parties no longer exists. . . . Crest Pontiac Cadillac, Inc. v. Hadley, 239 Conn. 437, 439 n.3, 685 A.2d 670 (1996).'' (Citation omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) Domestic Violence Services of Greater New Haven, Inc. v. Freedom of Information Commission, 240 Conn. 1, 6–7, 688 A.2d 314 (1997). In the present case, the order concerning the removal of the defendant's property from which she has appealed has been modified, and the property has now been removed by the defendant. No practical relief can therefore be afforded on the defendant's claim. In addition, the sale of the home has now been completed, and a closing has taken place. The order from which the defendant appeals concerns only the method of selling the home. Accordingly, because of the sale of the home, no relief can be afforded and the appeal is dismissed as moot. The appeal is dismissed. This court affirmed the dissolution judgment and ordered it modified in Fiddelman v. Redmon, 31 Conn. App. 201, 623 A.2d 1064, cert, denied, 226 Conn. 915, 628 A.2d 986 (1993), and affirmed a modification in Fiddelman v. Redmon, 37 Conn. App. 397, 656 A.2d 234 (1995). 1

Chinese New Year is just two weeks away on Feb. 4, 2013 with the Year of the Snake. I admit I'm a little sad the current year is coming to an end – it was Year of the Dragon, MY year. As a child, my mother always told me I'd have special luck during my year and I've always taken it to heart.
Now that the Year of the Snake is coming up, I'm getting ready with crafts and activities for my kids. They absolutely love this time of year – maybe because I'm a little more crafty and we eat a lot of Chinese food, especially long noodles for long life and dumplings for good luck.
One of our favorite things is to read Chinese New Year books (I highly recommend these books: Dragon Dance by Joan Holub and Red is a Dragon by Roseanne Thong) and feed our little dragon. My sister got this puppet from Taiwan and we take it out every Chinese New Year.
Easy Year of the Snake Craft
I admit I'm not creatively inclined. I can't do fancy crafts. So for any of you in the same boat, here's a super-easy craft to get into the Year of the Snake spirit. It's basically just a chain-link craft but you can add embellishments for the face like a felt tongue or googly eyes.
- Get 2-3 sheets of 8.5 x 11 construction paper. Choose a color (or a couple for a cool look).
- Cut paper into 1.5 to 2-inch strips.
- Using tape or a stapler, connect the end of a strip.
- Loop another strip through the previously connected strip to form a paper chain.
- Continue until desired length.
- On the end of the chain, add a tongue for the snake. Cut a 4-inch lengthwise strip of red paper and create a fork at the end so it looks like a snake tongue.
- Using a black marker, add eyes and other embellishments on the head.
And that's it. You've got a simple snake for Chinese New Year.
Want more Chinese New Year craft and recipe ideas? Check out my Chinese New Year Pinterest board.
I've got cool crafts pinned like Paper Tube Chinese Firecrackers from Let's Go Fly a Kite and a Red Snake (made from toilet paper rolls) from Red Ted Art.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Armoni By Elegancia Paris
Not so bad
Me and my partner stayed in this hotel for three nights in sept 05.Before going and reading the reviews on this site I really was dreading the prospect of staying here.
The room I must admit is very very small but hey we werent in Paris to stay long in our room this was just a base.The room though was tidy had a very nice shower, television and a very well stocked mini bar.The room was also as requested cleaned thoroughly on a daily basis.
The area we stayed in was also very quiet as was the hotel and also a three minute walk from the metro station where we could easily access all that Paris has to offer.
Breakfast was of the contental variety.There were some americans who were also staying at the hotel at the same time who were not too happy with the breakfast offered.As stated in the hotel this is a continental breakfast ie Croissants,fruit,rolls,cereal and juices.A continental breakfast does not therefore include a massive fry up re bacon and eggs.
The hotel staff seemed ok I wouldnt say they were overly helpful but equally they acknowledged when passing this is all we expected really.
On the whole I would say this hotel is average and defintelely not as bad as some people have stated.It is a pleasant enough place to base yourself for a short stay in Paris and is situated in a very accessible and peaceful part of Paris.
Over Priced
The three positives about the hotel were location, firm beds, and the hotel clerk, Katarina. Katarina was very cordial and extremely knowledgeable, and she willingly helped us with French pronunciations. Otherwise, it was a disaster.
First of all, the room was too small for three people. We each stubbed our toes at some point during our stay. There was one closet for all of us, and no special space for our bags.
Secondly, the bathroom accommodations were from some earlier era. There was no fixed shower, no shower curtain, and the toilet was in a separate area than the sink and tub. The toilet was stained and the tub had permanent rings.
The people at the desk, other than Katarina, spoke very little English, even though the hotel advertised that it had English speakers. They also seemed as if they were doing us a favor to take our money. They charged me a 30 Euro deposit to use an electrical adapter to charge my camera and camcorder batteries, and a 10 Euro deposit for the safe deposit key. This was the first hotel I've lived in that didn't have the push button safe deposit.
Our room was near an area where the hotel stored the bags of people from other rooms, so sometimes I had to move bags for us to get in and out of the room. We could also hear the elevator all night.
To add insult to injury, on the day that we were leaving, the van driver refused to pull in front of the hotel to get our bags. He wanted us to cross a busy street and load our bags in the van. The hotel said they used the service on a regular basis, but it was a new driver. Fortunately, the hotel returned the fee I had paid which included an 18 Euro hotel charge.
Our Paris experience fell far short of expectations. We saw all the main attractions, and were near the terminus for several city buses, so we saw a lot of the city.
If we visit Paris again, the Cheverny will not be our destination.
Worst hotel ever - Avoid
Please, please avoid!
This hotel was a complete disaster:
* doorknob fell off when we arrived
* hardly anything available for breakfast
* food handling unhygenic
* rooms dirty - fag burns and cracks in tiling etc (we also woke up with insect bites)
* personal item went missing in room
* far away from anything in Paris (doesnt mention that the road to Arc de Triumph is steep!)
* No decent food nearby
* Staff unhelpful
and wait for it:
* we saw a RAT in our room
Worst of all, hotel refuses to accept any of these points or make any compensation
Unbearably hot; dirty
I'd give this hotel 1 and 1/2 stars, if that were an option. The plumbing worked and the lights turned on.
We were "upgraded" to a junior suite...That turned out to be back luck. The elevator only took us a short way then it was up and down multiple flights of stairs and across a scorching glassed-in walkway lugging our bags. It was a hot day at the end of May and the hotel was billed as having air conditioning. There was some in the lobby, but none in our room and it was absolutely stifling. We lived in Paris for years and understand the usual lack of a/c, but this top-floor room was beyond hot. We had not a breath of air because the room had windows on only one side (not surprising, but a relevant fact) and faced the main building across a very narrow space. (Windows across the way were closed which made us wonder if the rooms in the main building were air conditioned.) The clerk was less-than-polite when my son asked for a fan. (He speaks fluent French. No fans were available.) Thankfully, we were so exhausted after our early arrival and hours of subsequent walking that we managed to sleep anyway. For that matter, we were nodding off in the lobby as the room wasn't ready until over an hour later than promised...and that hadn't been till mid-afternoon anyway. The hotel did allow us to leave our luggage in a hallway off the lobby while we waited for the room.
On a cool day, the room would have only been alright. It was no suite; just a small room with two single beds pushed together to form the standard double bed and two singles that folded down from the wall. Decor was average with a couple pieces of art. The bathroom was nice, but hairs all over the tub and floor. The carpet in the bedroom was similarly dirty. Still, I have to confess that the overwhelming heat contributed to the overall negative impression.
On the bright side, the location is very convenient to the Metro and RER C. It's a nice neighborhood. The hotel breakfast is wildly overpriced at 11 euros per person. Walk around the corner and buy excellent pain au chocolat, croissants, etc. at the little bakery for a fraction of the price.
Happily, this was only a one-night stay preceding an extended stay in an apartment. If you're in Paris for a week or more, that's often your best option anyway. There are lots of sites on the Internet offering short-term apartments in a variety of neighborhoods and price-ranges. Some also offer weekend rates.
Convenient and clean
We stayed for 4 nights in May. It was very clean and the windows are double glazed so we couldnt hear the outside noise. It can be noisy within the hotel though as the walls are not all that thick... but this really wasn't a problem. The bathroom was clean - it has a bath and shower. The airconditioner worked well - which was good as it was a really hot weekend for May!
It is really close to the metro so not far to carry all the luggage. There are a few cafe's around to eat at.. although try getting off the main road as it is cheaper and we found better quality food. There are a few supermarkets around to get food at.. although shut on Sunday.
The main disadvantage at this place is that it is north of the river and a fairly long way away from the sights on the south.. ok not all that long but around 30 -40 mins on the metro at least... longer on sundays.
Give it a miss
Im sorry to say that we stayed at this hotel.
As it was our first time in paris we were open to anything, but what we got was even worse.
I thought i had researched paris and the hotel thouroughly,using this site. and i was pretty much very dissappointed.
The hotel lists of room amenities are not true.
Mini bar.where was it ? the photo shows where it should have been.
Air conditioning. didnt work,nor did the heating.
We were expecting a clean room with the few comforts, what we got was a filthy room with the bare essentials.
We got a dirty rotten toilet,filthy window,and dirty towels,that was just the bathroom.
The wall paper was filthy, the telephone socket was hanging of the wall,the surfaces in the bedroom hadnt been wiped and still had glass marks from the previous occupants,the air con didnt work,or the heating.
One lamp had a bulb blown and the other worked after a lot of fiddling.
The carpet was dirty and the overblanket was filthy and marked.
You eat breakfast in a dark dingy dining room.
We stayed in room 404.
Not at all like the pictures you see on their web site
So So hotel
Everything is unbelievable small in this tiny hotel for those living in U.S.
It's rated 3 star on expedia, I guess it's European standard.
Staff's atitude is ok depending on who you met.
Nice thing is that room is clean.
And it's very close to metro.
For me, it's first time to be paris, don't know other hotels, I guess it would be same.
Ideal for a short break.
Either the other reviews of this hotel are by a competitor or it's a different hotel. My wife, 2 kids and myself had a lovely time in this small but friendly, clean and well situated hotel. As it's in a cul-de-sac it's very quiet at night, is right by a metro station and only a 10 minute walk from L'Arc de Triumph. Rooms were not huge but after a full day in Paris you want to sleep, not do acrobatics.
Buffet breakfast was great for stocking up on coffee and carbohydrates so as to face the day's sightseeing. For the money we paid this was good value.
Don't even consider it....
Definitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.
The bed linen was flithy, there was damp all over the walls, someone's dirty clothes on the floor, tiles falling off in the bathroom, a shower in the bath but nothing to attach it to the wall and no shower curtain, no plug so couldn't have a bath, had to sit in the bath and shower.
I was in tears within 10 minutes of being in this hotel, its nasty and the staff are very unco-operative. You've been warned !
You get what you paid for
You get what you paid for.
Basically I think the hotel facility is similar to Motel 6. This is a very tiny hotel. It is old even with some renovations. The elevator can only hold two persons. If you don't believe it, check it out! The towels and the bed sheet smells even though they are clean and got replaced every day.
The receptionist (also the only operator) has good attitude, especially a guy name Zoubeir. He is great.
We booked two triple rooms. The first night we arrived, they over sold one. So they gave us one double bed room and one single room, plus one triple room. The double bed room and the single room sucks! You can't even lock the door from inside of the double bed room unless you use key.
Next night they moved us to another double bed room and add in one rollaway bed to make it a triple room. It was extremely crowded and noisy without sound insulation at all.
After the complains, the 3rd night they moved us to the Junior suite with 3 beds, one of them is rollaway bed. These junior suites are new and comfortable, but not spacy at all. But at least they are new!
The photos you see from Internet are the Junior suites!!
Great features of this hotel are that they are right in front of the Metro subway exit. Also, there are many French and Asian restaurants nearby within ONE to two minutes walk, including Mc Donald. There are mini supermarket and laundry room nearby also. So it is very convenient! The hotel is in the residential area. The restaurant next door is great!
If you are booking the triple room, please specify you need the Junior suite. Otherwise, if you only need the double bed room, spend $50 more for somewhere else or get the Junior suite as they are more expensive.
The only good rooms are the junior suites. They are new and comfortable. Rest of them are noisy!
Walking to the Arc Triumph from the hotel?! Don't ever think about it unless you have robotic feet!
If budget is your only concern, Cheverny is OK! At least they have AC, TV and shower rooms. After all, they are 3-stars rated.
Good luck!

Lots of Steps
A big walking day today. We strolled to our favourite coffee shop for the last time as they close today for the New Year celebrations. The coffee shop owner has greeted us each day with a smile and laughed at our feeble attempts to speak French. His staff have been terrific and, most importantly, his coffee and cake selection have been brilliant.

Without a doubt, this is the focal point of the museum district that runs along Wilshire Boulevard. Chris Burden's Urban Light sculpture, composed of more than 220 restored cast-iron antique street lamps, elegantly marks the location. Inside you'll find one of the country's most comprehensive art collections, with more than 120,000 objects dating from ancient times to the present. Since opening in 1965, the museum now includes numerous buildings that cover more than 20 acres.
Works from the museum's rotating permanent collection include Latin American artists such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, prominent Southern California artists, collections of Islamic and European art, and paintings by Henri Matisse, Rene Magritte, Paul Klee, and Wassily Kandinsky. There's also a solid collection of art representing the ancient civilizations of Egypt, the Near East, Greece, and Rome, plus a vast costume and textiles collection dating back to the 16th century.
The Broad Contemporary
Art Museum, designed by Renzo Piano, opened in 2008 and impresses with three vast floors. BCAM presents contemporary art from LACMA's collection in addition to temporary exhibitions that explore the interplay of the present and the past. In 2010, the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Exhibition Pavilion, a stunning, light-filled space also designed by Renzo Piano, added more exhibit space.
LACMA's other spaces include the Ahmanson Building, which features Art of the Pacific, European, Middle Eastern, South and Southeast Asian collections; the Robert Gore Rifkind Center for German Expressionist Studies; the Art of the Americas Building; the Pavilion for Japanese Art, featuring scrolls, screens, drawings, paintings, textiles, and decorative arts from Japan; the Bing Center, a research library, resource center, and theater; and the Boone's Children's Gallery, located in the Hammer Building, where story time and art lessons are just some of the activities offered. The museum organizes wows visitors with special exhibitions and hosted major traveling shows, including the recent, vast Stanley Kubrick exhibit and the visually stunning James Turrell rrospective. Look for additional special programming as LACMA celebrates its 50th birthday in 2015.
Note that LACMA's resident oiutdoor Stark Bar, is not only eye-catching with its bright red chairs, but has become quite the gathering spot for handcrafted, seasonal cocktails.
Temporary exhibits sometimes require tickets purchased in advance, so check the calendar ahead of time.

Product description
In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revealing, both for fans of this masterful yet private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.

How 9/11 Changed How Americans View The World
Sep 11, 2012
After the terror attacks on 9/11, a public opinion survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs showed widespread support for increased spending on national security and counterterrorism. A decade later, a new survey shows that "Americans have become increasingly selective about how and where to engage in the world." Jane Harman and Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institution, spoke with listeners about the results of the 2012 survey on NPR's Talk of the Nation.
The Shale Gas Revolution: Implications for U.S. and Canadian Energy Policy and Asian Energy Security
Sep 06, 2012
North America is enjoying a greater wealth of energy resources, with new technology making it easier to extract natural gas from dense shale rock formations. This increase in supply has caused gas prices to plummet in the United States to approximately $3 per thousand cubic feet, compared to $16 per thousand cubic feet in Asia. With Asia struggling to meet its growing energy demand, countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan are looking toward North America to help diversify their energy imports. Many in the United States and Canada are interested in fulfilling Asia's need for gas in order to help diversify trade and boost the economy. Others fear that liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports will hurt North America's energy security and that LNG exports may raise domestic gas prices. NBR recently spoke with James Slutz, President and Managing Director of Global Energy Strategies LLC, to better understand this debate and the implications for U.S. energy and foreign policy.

Aug 03, 2012
The formula to avoid the "fiscal cliff" is simple write Jane Harman and Vin Weber: a bipartisan compromise including spending cuts, entitlement reform and changes to the tax code that was outlined nearly two years ago in The Simpson Bowles Act. "No party can solve these knotty issues alone or without compromise," the former members of Congress write for Politico.

You were probably so distracted by the fact that Adele wasn't wearing a black dress for once at the Grammys last night, you most likely missed the singer's brand new tattoo.
Well, we're here to draw attention to her brand new ink because besides Kelly Rowland's sheer cut-out dress, it was possibly the most revealing thing on the red carpet yesterday.
Now, the tattoo of note is the letter "A" in simple cursive hidden ever so discreetly behind Adele's ear as if we wouldn't see it with her hair up like that, and it speaks volumes.
Our first thought was this could be a tribute to her baby boy because when she was spotted in LA last month sporting a gold "Angelo" nameplate it spurred speculation that her still unnamed son isn't just being called "Adele's baby" by Adele when no one is looking.
Ever since then, however, figuring out this kid's name has been quite a quest. Really, at this point, you could base an entire Indiana Jones movie around it. This latest hint just proves there's enough material for Harrison Ford to work with here: Indiana Jones & The Unnamed Adele Baby, coming to a theater near you in summer 2014, with a theme song also sung by Adele, probably.
Of course, with her son's name still uncorroborated we don't want to jump to conclusions. After all, there are multiple other meanings to discern from this cryptic ink, so grab your magnifying glass, celeb sleuths. Here's a comprehensive list of everything that "A" could stand for:
— Well, there's "A" for "Adele" (because A-duh)
— Her last name, "Adkins"
— The hypothesized baby name "Angelo"
— All those much-deserved "Awards"/"All the Awards"
— Which leads to subcategories: "Another Grammy" (which she won last night), "Academy Awards" (which she'll probably win for her Skyfall theme), and "Awesome Acceptance speech" (which she always gives)—if this is, in fact, the case, Adele will be covered in "A"s by the end of this year
—"Attitude," the kind of tongue-in-cheek attitude that hints at her baby's name with nothing more than a tattoo
—"Amazing," because she's "Adele" and she is
"A"nyway, the possibilities are endless.

I work a full day, gone at 7am and home around 5:45pm. Two children, a one and a 4 yr old. DC and I are almost vegetarian, eat eggs and some dairy. We also eat wild salmon once a week. My DH is an omnivore and likes to have meat with every dinner. I have been trying to be organized and prepare one meal ahead of time, but I still seem to find myself spending all my time in the kitchen. We try not to eat prepared foods like veggie burgers and dogs for dinner. I am getting pretty frustrated about cooking whole foods- what I wouldnt give to just come home, throw something in the oven and forget about it! I only have an hour or so with the children before their bedtime and I find myself using it all in the kitchen...
I am lucky in that the DC will eat almost anything, all beans and grains and veggies. I just need a plan...
Please help!
Mama to two awesome kids. Wife to a wonderful, attached, loving husband. I love my job-- I'm a Midwife, Doula and Childbirth Educator, Classes forming now!

A stable UPA government and the steps it has taken are responsible for the market rally, and not some kind of "hope," Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram has said, dismissing suggestions that the likelihood of a Narendra Modi-led government after the Lok Sabha elections could be responsible for it.
"The rally is due to the fact of a stable government... not because of some kind of fond hope," he said, hitting out at the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, who was known to favour "crony capitalism."
In the past 18 months, the government had taken measures to strengthen the economy, he told NDTV in an interview. "We have contained the fiscal deficit, we have contracted the current account deficit substantially, we have added to our reserves, we have tamed inflation. I only wish that the firm hand on the wheel can continue for some time."
He also refuted the suggestion that Mr. Modi was seen to be growth-oriented. "Even [Mr.] Modi won't make such an extravagant claim... It's obvious that big business, and I am using the word big with capital B. Big business is supporting the BJP, but that's because Mr. Modi is known to favour crony capitalism."

Okay, yesterday was fun: We got a few comments saying stuff like, "Hey…everybody is already doing small groups." This two-day series isn't titled, "Cool stuff nobody is doing." It's a look at the best practices that most groups ARE doing, and hopefully giving you a few things to think about along the way. Like yesterday we want to make sure you hear that there is no PERFECT way to do youth ministry; our hope is that these best practices of churches across the country will help you in shaping yours.
BEST PRACTICE: Relational youth ministry is the best kind of ministry.
Caring adults pouring into our lives made us the people we are today. We could easily list out the influential people in our lives who aren't famous and will never write best-selling books—they just did the hard work of walking through life alongside us, coaching and shaping us into the men God wanted us to become.
FREEBIE #5 via Group Mission Trips!
Great youth ministers are empowering great men and women of God to have a direct relational influence in the life of the teenagers in their church. Want to build a great youth ministry? Bring in great leaders.
• Where can you improve using leaders relationally in your ministry?
• When was the last time you thanked God for the incredible leaders you have in your ministry? Take time today!
• Who do you need to seek out and invite to be a part of your team?
BEST PRACTICE: Youth ministry shouldn't be done in isolation
Early in youth ministry, many youth workers tend to build a "church within a church"—a church for students inside of a church for adults. And while this specialization certainly lends itself to targeted messages and great community, it can also make it difficult for a student to transition into the adult congregation. A healthy youth ministry doesn't exist in its own little silo.
FREEBIE #5 via Group Mission Trips!
• Take a good look at your youth ministry right now. Is it in its own little world? What can you do to change that and build bridges?
• Think about your recent graduates; did they also graduate from their faith?
• What steps can you take to make sure that your youth ministry is clearly part of the whole church congregation?
What other best practices are you finding in youth ministry?

Just caught this on the news.
CINCINNATI -- It's been well known that greater Cincinnati has a rich baseball tradition, as a number of successful ballplayers have come out of the area over the years.
Now there is another avenue for talented local players to reach the elite levels of the game.
The new Cincinnati Steam baseball club has joined the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League, an amateur wooden bat league that plays a 42-game schedule with NCAA Division I players on its rosters.
The Steam will play their day home games at Xavier University's Hayden Field and night home games at Western Hills High School.
"We're excited to bring a high quality brand of amateur baseball to the Cincinnati area in the summertime," said Steam co-owner Bill O'Conner during a press conference at Great American Ball Park on Monday.
Of the 23 players on the Steam's roster, 21 have local ties. A majority of the players are Cincinnati natives and attend college in the area as freshman, sophomores or juniors. The team will be managed by Miami University assistant coach Jeremy Ison. Former Reds pitcher Doug Bair will serve as the pitching coach.
Major League Baseball helped found the NCAA-sanctioned GLSL two decades ago and it continues to contribute financially, O'Conner said. This year, Cincinnati will be playing games against teams from Toledo, Lima, Celina , Xenia, Athens, Columbus, Delaware and Granville.
MLB team scouts will likely be among those in attendance at the amateur league's games. The GLSL says over 130 of its players have been drafted by big league clubs over the last three years.
Even though college players are playing the games, you won't hear the familiar "ping" of aluminum bats that have become synonymous with college baseball.
"What this is about is developing college players for the next level," O'Conner said. "This is not about developing college players for their teams. This is done under the auspices of Major League Baseball so they could see NCAA players with wooden bats in their hands so they could go to the next level."
The Reds are among those endorsing the Steam. Manager Jerry Narron was named an "honorary manager" and former pitcher Tom Browning was named "honorary captain." The new club and its players will also give back by working with the Reds Community Fund in several public outreach endeavors.
"We want to send these kids back to college a little bit better ballplayers than when they came to us," Steam general manager Max McLeary said. "By the same token, I want to make sure they get the total concept. It goes beyond the white lines with me. We are going to ask [the players] to get very involved in the community."

I don't think it is that simple- Oklahoma rolled the tide last year and yet the tide are still the team to be compared to. It takes the whole big ten dominating the SEC in bowls so that the Sec doesn't have 11 teams in the top 10, making the SEC champ an immortal god for beating most of them.
I had the same thought so I went with 75 earlier, so your room for error is 17 yards haha
75. Not because I think that's accurate but in case he struggles mightily I at least might get a t shirt out of it.
Maybe you weren't furthering rumors but by creating a (multiple duplicate) thread you drum up the conversation of rumors that are completely unfounded.
If you aren't adding anything new to the transfer discussion, then I'm not even sure what your end goal was in creating this forum (that sounds like I'm being a dick but I don't mean for it to).
Doesn't want to be inflammatory... Proceeds to fan flames.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
One of the greatest quotes you can live by in all of life, especially on social media.
I think it's at 7 on either ESPN or ESPN2. I remember seeing it when going to record the OSU hoops game tonight
ESPN jumped on board after we finally beat good teams and deserved the praise. I would hate to think that a team as good as Ohio State has to rely on being a good ratings/money draw to get them in the playoff. I think that cheapens all the work the players and coaches do and is pretty much a load of BS.
At least they schedule up level power 5 teams OOC, not their fault those teams and the ACC suck. If you win a national championship, you definitely deserve a shot at another one until you lose especially when you return the heisman winner.
That being said, Florida State is garbage and them going undefeated steals a spot in the playoffs from one of the 4 best teams.
It's football, mistakes are made by every team. This team is, what, 34-3 the last three years? Give me a break and enjoy the damn good ride we are on.
When did Florida State become the mountaineers?
(Borat voice) very niiice
At this point, our "regular" uniforms are my favorite alternate jerseys
Same team or not, they won two huge games last year that we didnt.
I also understand that they haven't done much this year and have no room to talk, but my point was more that I can at least understand why they say they aren't worried.
Given our play against top teams and how we haven't beat anyone good impressively, I would imagine we would be saying the same thing about MSU if roles were reversed.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is just to distract Sparty and give them something else to think about and we don't actually see an expanded role for Jalin this week. That being said, an open playbook against a top team would be fun.
Dave: Best episode of punk'd ever!
Brady: DONUTS!
Dave: Who should we get next?
Brady: DONUTS!
Dave: Dunkin Donuts it is!
sell your stock in DD, folks
Can't stand watching Florida State's entitled women beaters play football and listen to Jesse repeatedly call Jameis smart
Stop using logic, people who make these decisions don't like that
It's a sweet video and all, but I can't take it serious because to me it feels like an ex-girlfriend who said she wanted to marry me, then ditched me and married some old rich guy so she could get what she wanted, then came running back to me once he died and now pretends like she never stopped loving me. Of course the girl is smoking hot and the best I'll ever get so I'm going to get all clingy again and pretend the last 4 years didn't happen either.
That being said, I can't wait to watch the Cav's start winning again.
Turn it around? The car just left the garage, let him drive a bit.
I don't know why any OSU fans would be upset about losing Hoke, it's not like Michigan will replace him with an elite coach. It's more likely they make another hire that turns out to be a Hoke 2.0

1/2 gallon
vanilla ice cream
2 quarts
eggnog, chilled
2 liters
lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
1/4 cup
crushed peppermint hard candies
1 cup
heavy whipping cream, whipped
chocolate mint candies, coarsely crushed
I needed a quick recipe for a "progressive" dinner, and although I wasn't sure about this recipe, I decided to give it a shot. Not liking mints, I omitted those altogether. I sprinkled some cinnamon on top of the punch, and with the dollops of whipped cream, it made a pretty presentation. The punch was a huge hit, and the punchbowl was drained twice! The carbonated beverage gives the punch a very light flavor. Even people who don't like eggnog will like this drink. If you like a little pizzazz, add a touch of brandy.

Stocking up on some delicious and nutritious goodies, Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth paid a visit to Gelson's Market in Sherman Oaks, California on Wednesday afternoon (July 10).
The "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" hunk and his lovely lady both looked to be in good spirits as they strolled out of the store following the shopping excursion.

High-level concerns flagged over Chinese naval weapon
Reports of a new anti-ship ballistic missile suggest it is capable of targeting aircraft carriers, such as the USS George H.W. Bush (pictured) Picture courtesy of the US Navy
After years of speculation, details are beginning to emerge of a "kill weapon" developed by the Chinese that is capable of targeting and destroying US aircraft carriers. The Dong Feng 21 anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) can carry a warhead big enough to inflict significant damage on a large naval vessel, such as a supercarrier, with a single strike. The missile employs a complex guidance system, using low radar signature and a maneuverability that makes its flight path unpredictable. This increases the odds that the missile can evade tracking systems to successfully reach its target. It is estimated that the missile can travel at mach 10 speed and reach its maximum range of 2,000km in less than 12 minutes.

Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa
Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, Gaya Island, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Malaysia might not quite top the list when it comes to famous holiday destinations, but Bunga Raya is proof that this sort of luxe island paradise knows no national boundaries. But rather than some over-water lagoon resort, this one is closer to the hidden-cove fantasy of something like The Beach; Bunga Raya lies tucked into a narrow bay with baby-soft sand in the middle and dense jungles ascending the hillside at both ends.
The villas are set back a bit from the beach, which makes for more privacy and for better views. They range from fairly humble one-bedrooms — if a beachfront luxury villa can really be called humble — on up to sprawling three-bedroom hilltop suites. And if you'll miss being able to dangle your feet in the sea from the privacy of your room — these are lucky problems to have — then be sure and book a villa with a plunge pool.
There's an up side to the jungle location as well. Not only are you privy to all the diving and sailing you could possibly ask for — this is one of the South China Sea's liveliest coral reefs — but you're well placed for a jungle trek as well. And if activity's not exactly your bag, there's always a dip in the cove, a spa treatment, a leisurely meal in one of Bunga Raya's restaurants.
How to get there:
Kota Kinabalu Ferry Terminal is approximately a 20 min. drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport.Bunga Raya offers three trips a day from Kota Kinabalu ferry terminal. Please contact email@example.com for assistance with airport transfers and ferry times.

What I liked:
The staff are very friendly and helpful and any criticism is certainly not directed at them, the location is beautiful, the rooms are of a high standard, if a little generic, and during the day the whole experience is very pleasant indeed
What the hotel could do better:
But after nightfall, things are dull and a little depressing. A tiny bar serves poor cocktails and beer from the can. The Koi restaurant is a wide open space that also serves as the breakfast room - and thus there is nothing "special" in visiting it. The restaurant has 2 menus - a modern European menu, that is nothing special, and a Chinese menu which is a little better. We only discovered by accident that there were Chinese options, having not being offered them on the first night. There are a couple of Malay options, such as Beef Rendang which was served with all spices removed, making it bland, stringy and tasteless. On our last night we asked the chef to "make it local style" and it was of course very tasty; but restaurants shouldn't make the assumption that all foreigners can't take spice - its easy enough to ask surely?
The Wine Cellar is quite impressive, and we did select a couple of nice bottles at not too unreasonable prices. But overall, when the sun goes down a sense of gloom descends on the resort. There is a difference between tranquility and boredom. To be honest, after dark this place is not up to Tablet standards
Another gripe was the inability to explore the jungle. Jungle walks are available, but must be accompanied, and at an extra cost, and at fixed times which didn't suit our schedule. Frankly, this is irritating. The extra cost is unnecessary when the "guide" is not a professional, but simply a member of staff who is on the island anyway. And not being able to walk unaccompanied (staff refused to tell us how to get to to the trail unless accompanied) was very annoying. I understand that there are safety concerns, but not everyone needs to be nannied. This was a big fail as far as I was concerned, and a major disappointment

What I liked:
The service that the staff provided was top class. The beach was beautiful, the breakfast was good and the water was crystal clear.
What the hotel could do better:
It was the little things that could have been improved upon. The bathrooms in the villa's weren't particularly good and the steak and macaroni cheese was pretty nasty in the restaurant (and it was v $$$ for what it was). Just things you would have expected better of from a 5* hotel.
