Logan didn't want a cure. He wasn't looking for one, and where he has at the start of the film had nothing to do with the cure.
exactly whey they should have mentioned the cure; they had been looking for Logan a year.
The Wolverine
takes place one year after the events of X3. That means they started looking for Logan around the time the cure was big news.
There's obviously a connection there.
The reason they probably start looking for him
at that point
and not sooner was because Yashida probably feared that he may loose the chance to get Logans powers because Yashida, at that point had no idea, if Logan had taken the cure or not and was scared he may have lost the opportunity to acquire his life long ambition of achieving immortality.
His search for Logan at that point was probably spurred on by the wide spread media coverage of mutants becoming human, thanks to the cure.

Had a fantastic meal here. Went out of my comfort zone and had a meal with rabbit. I can't remember the name of the dish but it was fantastic. Also had as an appetizer, something I believe is called lardo. If I had known what it was beforehand I probably would not have ordered it and my wife definately wouldn't have allowed me. But this also was fantastic and have never been able to find it anywhere in the US. One of my favorite restaurants anywhere.... Read More

Group warns sin taxes to encourage smuggling, sees gov't increasing income taxes
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—A group of businessmen and professionals has warned that the government would lose, instead of generate more, revenues if it implements the proposal to slap much higher taxes on cigarettes. In the end, government might resort to increasing income taxes, the group warned.
In a statement, the Caucus for Philippine Competitiveness (CPC) said a hike in cigarette taxes of as much as 1,000 percent, as proposed by some legislators, would cause a steep increase in prices of cigarettes produced by legitimate cigarette manufacturers and, therefore, would cause a shift in demand in favor of cheap and smuggled cigarettes.
CPC, a non-government organization focusing on economic advocacy, said government would lose a lot to cigarette smuggling. Legitimate businesses will suffer reduced sales, while smugglers who do not pay taxes will be the ones to enjoy higher sales. .
It said the promise of higher government revenues arising from the increase in cigarette or "sin" taxes would only hold true during the first year of implementation of the tax hike. Starting the second year, CPC warned, the decline in tax collection would be felt.
The goup said government might compensate for the lost revenues from cigarette taxes by increasing rates of other taxes, such as the income tax or impose new ones.
"If health and finance officials succeed with legislation of 1,000 percent hikes, sin tax revenues would contract by the second year of implementation like it did in Singapore," said CPC chairperson Mike Lopez said in the statement.
"To make up for losses, government will be compelled to increase income taxes or impose new ones like the dreaded text tax on SMS messages, which Congress has time and again been eyeing," Lopez added.
CPC released its statement amid pending proposal in Congress to impose much higher taxes on cigarettes.
The Department of Finance is pushing for the tax hike, a move that is believed to help the government generate much more revenues. The Department of Health is another advocate of the proposal, saying higher taxes would help reduce the number of smokers and thus the incidence of smoking-related deaths.
The push for higher taxes on cigarettes is being backed by the Asian Development Bank, which in a report cited the Philippines as one of the countries to suffer from the biggest numbers of smoking-related deaths if no government intervention on smoking trend is done.
In its report titled "Tobacco taxes: a win-win Measure for Fiscal Space and Health," the ADB said the Philippines, together with China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam, are seen to eventually register 267 million smoking-related deaths over the short to long term if current smoking trends continue.
It also said governments of the five countries could benefit from higher revenues if they imposed higher cigarette taxes.
ADB said a 70- to 122-percent increase in cigarette taxes in the five countries, which would result in a 50-percent increase in cigarette prices, would cut the number of smokers by 67 million and reduce smoking-related deaths by more than 27 million.
In addition, the five countries would be able to generate $24 billion in additional revenues a year. ADB said such an amount would represent a 143- to 178-percent increase in revenues generated by the governments of the said countries from cigarette taxes.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Walking down the rue des Petits Champs, Lydie felt in no hurry to get to the Bibliothèque Nationale. Even though she had hours of research to do for a photo series that was already a week overdue, she felt like playing hooky. The BBS wheels on a red BMW 750 parked by the curb caught her eye. Nice wheels, Lydie thought. She had spent many childhood Saturdays at her father's body shop in the Bronx—a cavernous place filled with smells of exhaust and paint, the flare of welding torches, the shrieks of machinery and metal tearing—without seeing many BBS wheels. Her father was the boss but wore blue overalls anyway. He would leave her in the office, separated from the shop by a glass window, coming back every fifteen minutes or so to visit her.
"What happened to that car?" Lydie had asked once, watching another wreck towed in.
"An accident, darling. He hit a tree off the Pelham Parkway, and he must have been drunk, because he knew how to drive."
"How do you know?" Lydie asked, when what she really wanted to know was what had happened to the man.
"See his wheels?" her father asked, pointing at the car, leaning his head so close to Lydie's that she caught a whiff of the exhaust that always seemed to cling to his hair and clothes. "They're BBS. A man doesn't buy wheels like that if he doesn't know how to drive."
To her father, "knowing how to drive" had covered more than mere competence. It was a high compliment and meant the driver was alert behind the wheel, unified with his car and the road, aware of the difference between excellent and ordinary machinery.
Walking away from the red BMW with its high-performance, nonproduction wheels, down the narrow Paris street, Lydie had the urge to drive fast. In America she raced cars for a hobby, but over here she hadn't had the desire. She had resisted this move to Paris. She had told Michael it was because she didn't want to leave her family, which now consisted of only Lydie and her mother. But Michael had said no, what Lydie did not want to leave was her family tragedy.
Eight months before Michael accepted the position at the Louvre, Lydie's father had killed his lover and himself. Margaret Downes. Lydie felt a jolt every time she remembered the name. After forty years of what everyone considered a great marriage, Cornelius Benedict Fallon had fallen in love with another woman. Lydie hadn't known and Julia claimed, even now, to have had no clue. Lydie knew there must have been clues, and she often felt furious with her mother for not seeing them. Because right up until the time the New York City detectives knocked on her door, Lydie had believed in her mother's myth of a happy family.
Lydie was her parents' only child; born relatively late in their marriage, she knew she was beloved. They had raised her to feel confident and live like a daredevil. A favorite story of her father's was of how Lydie at eight, watching the Olympics on television, had suddenly stood and done a perfect backflip off the back of the sofa. The second time she tried, she broke her collarbone. During high school she took up whitewater kayaking, tutoring children in a neighborhood few of her convent school classmates would even visit, and hitchhiking to Montauk on Saturdays. One day her father let her take an H-production Sprite for a spin. The intensity of concentration required to speed thrilled her, and from then on she thought of racing as a legitimate way to drive a car fast.
Cutting through the Galerie Vivienne, remembering that Bugeye Sprite and her old fearless self, Lydie felt her eyes fill with tears. The emotion was so strong she stopped in front of a wine shop, pretending to regard the window display while she cried. She thought of the car Michael had given her for Christmas, just before the shooting. They had shopped around together, and Lydie had fallen in love with a showroom stock Volvo 740 wagon. Michael had grinned at the idea of his wife racing a station wagon, the car favored by women living in the Litchfield Hills to ferry kids and groceries around Lime Rock. Secretly, he had bought it for her. Lydie closed her eyes, remembering that Christmas morning: in their apartment on West Tenth Street she had opened a small box containing brown leather driving gloves, a map of Connecticut with "Lime Rock" circled in red, and the keys. She hadn't even driven it since her father died. It sat in Sharon, Connecticut, in a garage behind her crew chief's house.
Michael had told her about the Louvre position as if he were giving her a gift even greater than the car: the gift of adventure, a year in Paris. But Lydie hadn't wanted to come. She had wanted to stay in New York; she couldn't imagine leaving her mother. She couldn't imagine leaving the scene. But in spite of lacking heart, she couldn't say no to Michael, who was incredibly excited about the move. And then, the day had come to pack their things into a crate that would cross the Atlantic on a Polish freighter.
Julia had sat on Lydie and Michael's bed, watching them pack. Lydie knew that although her mother felt abysmally sad at seeing Lydie go, she wouldn't dream of speaking up. Julia would think that by doing so she would spoil Michael's happiness. She was plump, especially in the bosom, with soft, curly gray hair and, even then, a perpetually happy expression in her blue eyes. Lydie could hardly bear to look at her that day; she rummaged through a dresser drawer. Coming upon her driving gloves, Lydie slipped them on, flexing the new leather.
"Can't wait to see you drive at Le Mans," Michael said. "It's only about two hours from Paris."
"I can't wait," Lydie said, doubting even then that she would drive in France.
"Oh, you two will have such a ball," Julia said, grinning. "All the museums and the restaurants. Your aunt Carrie and I spent a weekend in Paris one time. It was lovely."
"Flying to Paris from Ireland is like taking the Eastern Shuttle to Washington," Michael said. From his tone Lydie could tell he felt grateful to Julia for her enthusiasm.
"Well, we took the boat, but yes—distances are so different over there. It's a short trip from Paris to anywhere in Europe. You'll have a marvelous time."
"It'll be great," Michael said, speaking to Lydie.
She said nothing, but smiled at him. He was trying to assemble a cardboard carton. The sight of her tall husband—a whiz on any basketball court but a klutz when it came to anything remotely mechanical—trying to transform a sheet of corrugated cardboard into a vessel that would actually hold their belongings made Lydie laugh.
"Here, let me," she said, folding flaps, slapping on the plastic tape without even taking off her gloves.
"What a woman," Michael said, bending down to kiss her.
"She's one in a million," Julia said. "After she won her first race at Watkin's Glen, her father said she could do anything. Do you remember that nice dinner we all had afterward?"
"Sure," Lydie said, quivering with the memory. They had drunk champagne, and after dinner her father had bought her a cigar. She could picture her parents perfectly: their proud smiles, her mother's girlish smile, the absent way her father reached over to touch Julia's shoulder. It killed Lydie to think Margaret Downes had already brought her car in for its second paint job in six months, that Neil had already fallen in love with her. The happy expression on her father's face that night, so full of love, had been for Margaret.
Lydie crouched, assembling another carton. Michael sat beside her, pulling the tape out of her hands and holding them tight; he knew what the memory meant to her. Julia said nothing, looking on. She had started to cry but stopped herself. Lydie eased her hands from Michael's grasp, ripped off a piece of tape, closed a seam. Every crack she taped, every box she built, brought her closer to leaving. And, somehow, the idea of leaving the scene of her father's death and crime filled her with doom. She felt wild with an abundance of unfinished business.
"A year in Paris," Julia had said. "I can't imagine any couple who could enjoy it more than you."
But it wasn't working out that way, Lydie thought now, entering the Bibliothèque's vast courtyard. With their great luck, she had thought they would be the most frivolous pair in Paris. But Michael's exhilaration had turned to patience; he was waiting for Lydie to get back the spirit he had fallen in love with. So far it hadn't happened. Since coming to Paris, Lydie felt a gulf widening between herself and Michael, and she couldn't do a damned thing about it.
Just before a race, Lydie always experienced a vision. In a flash she saw the crash, the rollover, herself paralyzed in a hospital.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

I am a huge Luanna Rice fan but I thought this book was horrible! I am surprised that she is even the author of this. It took everything I had on numerous occasions to continue reading. I have never stopped reading a book halfway through, but I was very tempted to do so many times.

In order to escape somewhat from the murder-suicide death of her father and take advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity, Lydie and Michael McBride move to Paris on a cultural exchange program. The photographer stylist and her architect husband redesign a room at the Louvre.
Lydie and Bostonian expatriate Patrice d'Origny become friends as she does with Patrice's Filipino maid Kelly. Meanwhile, Michael begins an affair with a French author Anne Dumas who is writing the biography of Mme de Sevigne. Patrice's husband Didier hires Lydie to develop the new d'Origny Bijoutiers jewelry catalogue. As Lydie and Michael seem to drift further apart, each wonders if they can regain what they lost as Americans in Paris.
This reprint of a 1991 family drama predominantly focuses on Lydie, but also looks deep at Patrice and Kelly. The story line is character driven with little action as the themes of friendship, forgiveness and second chances are explored. Though the men and Anne are emaciated stereotypes, readers will enjoy Luanne Rice's look into the souls of three women at key crossroads in their respective lives who will always have Paris.

Secrets of Paris by Luanne Rice
This is a story about Lydie who has moved to Paris with her husband. He's in the architecture business and she sets up shoots for photographing. She was reluctant to come to Paris as her father and mistress had died in a car crash a year ago and she wanted to console her mother.
She did meet an American woman at a cafe one day and they became friends.
Patrice's husband is into selling jewelry and he asks for Lydie's help in a ball at a mansion. She scurries the countryside for just the right props.
Her husband, Michael in the meantime has taken up with Anne in an affair.
Patrice's mother has arrived from US to stay a week and she's trying on her nerves.
Michael has told her that he no longer loves her and does not think she loves him. He has fallen in love with another woman. Lydie is not sure if she loves him or not. She tries to focus on other things-to help the maid Kelly get to the US. Maybe now Lydie will leave Paris after the ball, with Kelly.
Lots of choices and decisions. I felt not connected to this book, probably just the foreign location. Story line was great and few characters as others came in and out of the picture, very easy to follow the story.

Court upholds decision on elk thinning in US park
Wednesday - 1/9/2013, 7:52pm EST
DENVER (AP) - A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld a National Park Service decision not to reintroduce wolves to Rocky Mountain National Park to control the elk population.
Park officials have been concerned since the 1930s about overgrazing by an elk population that has grown in the absence of natural predators like wolves. Hunting is generally banned in the park.
At one point, park officials proposed reintroducing wolves as a solution but that option was dropped, with the agency explaining there was little support from coordinating agencies, concerns from neighboring communities and a high potential for human-wolf conflicts, according to court documents. They also said managing wolves in the park would be expensive and time-consuming.
WildEarth Guardians filed a lawsuit in 2008 that argued the Park Service violated environmental laws when it "arbitrarily" ruled out using wolves. It also challenged the agency's decision to use trained volunteers to help Park Service employees shoot and kill excess elk.
A federal judge in 2011 ruled that the agency took a hard look at relevant data before concluding that reintroducing wolves wasn't feasible and that volunteers' shooting the elk to cull the population wasn't the same as hunting, which involves shooting for food or sport.
On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judge's ruling.
"We find the record supports the agency's decision to exclude consideration of a natural wolf alternative" from its elk management plan, the appeals court ruling said.
WildEarth Guardians director of carnivore protection Wendy Keefover said sharpshooters will never have the same ecological benefits on the landscape as wolves.
"Wolves would do a far better job of culling the weak, the sick, and consistently moving sedentary elk away from fragile streams," she said in a written statement.

Two-star general stripped of star and retired
A two-star Army general blamed for failing to properly investigate sexual assault and other allegations against a colonel on his staff will be retired with one star the Army announced Wednesday. The Associated Press's Robert Burns writes, "The decision by Army Secretary John M. McHugh comes more than a year after Maj. Gen. Michael T. Harrison was suspended from his duties as commander of U.S. Army forces in Japan. His case has been cited as evidence of why sex-crime victims say they don't trust the military to protect them, despite efforts by senior Pentagon officials, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, to make commanders accountable."

DARKE COUNTY - The Darke County Health Department reported that they've been averaging only about two phone calls per month in regards to bed bug concerns, which is declining from previous months, said Roberta Mangen, environmental services.
However, Nancy Raffel, infection prevention at Wayne HealthCare, said it's "unfortunately, fairly regular" to see patients come in with signs of bed bugs.
"We try to identify the situation as soon as possible," Raffel commented. "If the patient mentions that they have bed bugs, we immediately take them to a room, have them remove and bag their clothing and personal items, and provide them with scrubs…When they're released, their room is thoroughly cleaned and sprayed, and closed up to decontaminate."
According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and United States Environmental Protection Agency, the bed bug population dropped mid-20th century, but "the United States is one of many countries new experiencing an alarming resurgence in the population of bed bugs."
With the resurgence, the public seems to be getting more informed on what they can do to prevent these often pesticide-resistant nuisances; some of the reasons for the growing number of bed bugs could include resistance to many pesticides, more international and domestic travel, lack of knowledge due to prolonged absence, and the continuing decline or elimination of effective pest control programs at state and local health agencies.
"The only good thing about bed bugs is that they don't transmit disease," Raffel added. "They're a big pest, they're a nuisance…and it doesn't take much to get them."
Bed bugs, much the same as head lice, feed on human blood, though they're not known to transmit disease according to the CDC. That said, they can cause many negative consequences, affecting physical and mental health and finances. In rare cases, those bitten could have an allergic reaction severe enough to cause anaphylaxis; bites can also lead to secondary infection if not properly cleaned, including impetigo, ecthyma, and lymphanigitis, the CDC said. Those living in infected homes may also experience anxiety, depression and insomnia.
According to the CDC, more research is needed to determine why bed bugs have made a return, and the potential of bed bugs spreading disease. Bed bugs also create a financial burden, with costs for health care, extermination, lost wages and revenue, lower productivity, it can be overwhelming to be in that situation, the CDC reported.
The cost of effectively removing bed bugs is more than other pests because repeated visits are typically necessary, the CDC report indicated. It's also easier to remove bed bugs from single family homes than from apartment buildings, which Eric Brown, property manager for Leis Realty, confirmed.
"People are ashamed – bed bugs have gotten a black eye, but they are very easy to pick up," Brown commented. "We tell our tenants to be upfront with us if this problem occurs, because if it happens, we're going to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again. The last thing I want is someone to panic, move out and take the bugs to another place, perpetuating the problem."
According to Brown, it's the health department's determination whether a landlord or tenant is responsible for exterminating the pests, but he's noticed that they typically find that tenants of single-family homes are the responsible party, whereas if multiple tenants in an apartment complex find themselves with bed bugs, it's often the responsibility of the landlord or property manager, because, according to the CDC, bed bugs can easily travel between units through voids in the wall.
"Everybody is embarrassed about it and they shouldn't be. People not being educated about how they're getting them, how they're spread – that's perpetuating the problem," said Brian Magee of Eco-Therm, an eco-friendly bed bug elimination company located near Bradford. "They affect everyone, rich, poor, it doesn't matter…"
According to Magee, Darke County is averaging close to the same ratio of calls as other locations, based on population; he said he gets about 15 calls per month from Greenville and Darke County, though he said he usually gets the "really bad" cases with heavy infestation, because that's the company's specialty.
Those who feel they may have an issue with bed bugs should move quickly to eliminate the problem, said Magee, because once the bed bugs begin to spread, they do so quickly. There are many methods of exterminating bed bugs, but Eco-Therm uses a chemical-free, heat-based method, which Eric Brown from Leis Realty said eliminates virtually all of the bed bug problem the first pass, though that would depend on the severity of the situation.

During the period, his expenditure should be authorised by the Governor of Telangana
The Centre has authorised the Governor of existing State of Andhra Pradesh to make any expenditure, which he deems necessary, before the appointed day from the consolidate fund of the State of Telangana.
The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, published in the Gazette of India on Saturday states that the Governor is authorised to spend funds for a period up to six months from the appointed day pending its sanction by the Legislative Assembly concerned. However, such expenditure has to be authorised by the Governor of Telangana after the appointed day. The Gazette further says the award of the Thirteenth Finance Commission to the existing A.P. shall be apportioned between the successor States by the Centre on the basis of population ratio and other parameters. A reference is also made to the Fourteenth Finance Commission on the appointed day to make separate awards for successor States.
The Centre may make appropriate grants and ensure that adequate benefits and incentives in the form of special development package are given to backward areas of A.P., particularly to Rayalaseema and North Coastal regions.
On the apportionment of assets and liabilities, the Gazette says the successor States shall receive benefits and bear financial liabilities arising out of the decisions taken by the existing A.P. All land and stores, articles and other goods belonging to the existing A.P. shall be passed on to Telangana if they fall within the transferred territory or they remain the property of the A.P.

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli expects Inter Milan to successfully defend their title this season.
The former Fiorentina boss gave his opinion ahead of the start of the Serie A season.
"I can't see an alternative to Inter for the Scudetto," he told La Stampa.
"Roma are still the Nerazzurri's main rivals. I coached Adriano at Parma and I know how much he is worth. He will want to get back on track and is a big buy.
"Milan should do well because Massimiliano Allegri is a talented tactician and has already shown what he can do.
"Juventus are lacking quality but if the players follow Gigi Del Neri, then I can see them being feared again.
"Without Stevan Jovetic, Fiorentina will be missing a lot because he made the difference there. Still I know their directors very well and I am sure they will find a way.
"Napoli, Palermo, Genoa and Sampdoria will also be fighting for the fourth spot and I will keep an eye on Sebastian Giovinco's Parma."

Cyclone tears roofs off houses in Solomon Islands
More News from Agence France-Presse
SUVA—Freshly formed Cyclone Freda whipped roofs off houses and flattened trees in the Solomon Islands as it gathered strength en route to New Caledonia, forecasters said Saturday.
There was also flooding from rising rivers as winds of up to 130 kilometers an hour (80 mph) blew in, but there were no reports of deaths or injuries, Solomon Islands Meteorological Service officer Manoah Tepa said.
"Cyclone Freda is now a category two cyclone and it is continuing to intensify. It will become category three by midnight tonight having very destructive winds," said Sajay Prakesh of the Nadi Tropical Cyclone Centre in Fiji.
Although the cyclone was moving away, parts of the Solomon Islands were being hit by "very strong winds and heavy rain," said Prakesh.
On Friday, the New Zealand-based meteorological service Weatherwatch said the storm was expected to be over New Caledonia on New Year's Day.
Earlier this month Cyclone Evan strengthened to a category four cyclone and left a swathe of devastation in its wake, destroying homes, flooding rivers and stranding thousands of tourists in Fiji.
Before arriving in Fiji, it pummeled neighboring Samoa, killing at least five.

Latest Motor neuron disease Stories
The commonly-used epilepsy drug, valproic acid (VPA), can have a highly beneficial effect on some babies born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the number one genetic killer during early infancy.
Cedars-Sinai's Regenerative Medicine Institute has pioneered research on how motor-neuron cell-death occurs in patients with spinal muscular atrophy, offering an important clue in identifying potential medicines to treat this leading genetic cause of death in infants and toddlers.
A long-used anti-cancer drug could be a starting point to develop new treatments for the incurable nerve disease known as Lou Gehrig's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), scientists are reporting.
Mobile technology, remote coaching, and financial incentives could possibly improve the diet and physical activity of patients to promote healthier habits
UCLA researchers may have found a key to determining which Parkinson's disease patients will experience a more rapid decline in motor function, sparking hopes for the development of new therapies and helping identify those who could benefit most from early intervention.
Scientists have confirmed that mutations of a gene are responsible for some cases of a rare, inherited disease that causes progressive muscle degeneration and weakness: spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominance, also known as SMA-LED.

|Key Info
Attractive, well-equipped, 2 bed, 2 bath comfortable self-catering property in Es Forti area of Cala Egos in Cala d'Or, Mallorca. Lovely gardens front and rear and truly beautiful sea views. You can enjoy the sun all day long. Steps into the sea are 2 minutes from the front door.There is access to a private roof terrace and plenty of room to barbeque in the rear courtyard garden. The house has aircon (heating and cooling), Freesat TV, iPod dock and free WiFi. It is only 5 minutes walk to the nearest beach and to Cala Egos centre with all its shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. A car is not essential, but great for seeing the lovely and diverse island of Mallorca.
The house is looked after all year round by a local housekeeper who speaks German, Spanish and English. At busy times of the year arrival time is from 4 pm and departure time is by 10 am. At quieter times, or when it is not a change-over day, timings can be more flexible and there is a keysafe system to allow for 24 hour access.
Cala Egos is the family friendly, smaller and slightly quieter neighbour of Cala d'Or and is a 5 minute drive away. Cala d'Or itself is not a rowdy resort, with evening entertainment being based in the hotels, restaurants and bars that are located in the pedestrianised part of the town. The sophisticated and cosmopolitan marina provides restaurants for all budgets and the opportunity to relax and watch luxurious yachts and motor boats coming and going out of the harbour. Taxis between the two towns are relatively inexpensive and there is also a tourist "train" that runs regularly. The other neighbouring marina at Porto Petro (again a 5 minute drive) has retained its small town feel with authentic Mallorquin and seafood restaurants overlooking this beautiful natural harbour in a more understated manner.
There really is something for everyone in Mallorca. It's beauty and diversity draws international visitors back year after year.

The Balearic Islands region
Mallorca is the Largest of the Balearic Islands. It has a wonderful climate - hot summers and mild winters - and a relaxed, cosmopolitan feel. The South-East coast has plenty of places to visit and explore. There are regular markets in Santanyi, Felanitx and Campos. There are the spectacular Caves of Drach at Porto Cristo and the wonderful views at The Monastery of San Salvador near Felanitx. The picture postcard fishing village of Cala Figuera is a great place for a leisurely lunch. The South-East also boasts many beautiful sandy beaches, the longest of which is Es Trenc. The capital, Palma, is only about 45 mins by car and it is a bustling commercial, historic and cultural city with so much to see and do. The dramatic, mountainous west coast is also well worth a visit, especially the lovely towns of Deia, Valldemossa and Soller.
Cala D'Or
Cala d'Or is a busy town with lots of shops and places to eat and drink and it is very family friendly. The marina is well worth a visit and has many expensive yachts and boats moored there. There are also charter boats for excursions and fishing and the large glass bottom boats that make regular daily trips to the areas best beaches. There is a municipal pool and tennis courts on the main road between Cala d'Or and Cala Egos. Can Su Lac is in an area called Es Forti and is a 5-10 min drive from Cala d'Or. Es Forti is named after it's coastal fort which offers spectacular views of both coastline and hills. Whilst a quiet, mainly residential area, it is only a few minutes walk from sandy Es Pou beach and the gift shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants of Cala Egos. All 3 areas are connected by a regular tourist train service. There are plenty of places to hire bikes from (you will see many cyclists on the island) and golf courses are a short drive away (Vall d'Or Golf is about a 15 minute drive away, just passed S'Horta). The nearby fishing town of Porto Petro is also a great place to visit and people watch and it has a multilingual dive school. The area also boasts a natural park (Parc naturel de Mondrago) which has nature walks, picnic ares, horse riding and 2 beautiful beaches with plenty of facilities.

House is a little tired, needs updating. Nice setting overlooking the sea. No beach as such. Also no bottled water left for us........which is a MUST HAVE in our opinion. We were disappointed.… More
I absolutely agree that you should have found bottled water in the house on your arrival. As I stated in my Emails to you, I was very surprised that you didn't and could only assume it was a housekeeping oversight and I offered you my sincere apology. I informed the local housekeeper, as I said I would, and she has put measures in place to prevent it happening again. As regards the beach, the listing clearly states that the house is next to a small cove (and there are photos of it) and that the town beach is 5 minutes walk. I am sorry that you found the house tired and in need of updating. All the other reviews rate the house highly.

Mixed-initiative problem solving with decision trees

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
We present a mixed-initiative approach to problem solving based on decision trees in which the user can answer unknown to any question she is asked by the intelligent system, or answer questions anywhere in the decision tree without waiting to be asked. Also in contrast to the traditional decision-tree approach, more than one of the rules in a decision tree may contribute to the solution of a problem for which the user is unable to provide a complete description. As shown by our results, increased coverage of incomplete problem descriptions is an important benefit for some decision trees. However, a potential risk in allowing a problem-solving dialogue to continue when relevant test results are not available is that no solution may be possible no matter what additional information the user can provide. This problem is addressed in our approach by using meta-level reasoning to recognize when no solution is possible.

Electronic Documents
This section included requirements for electronic document management systems, identified common problems with electronic documents including questionable authenticity, loss of context, disposal 84, and robustness against organization change. Mr. Breeden also described common electronic document formats.
Mr. Breeden provided a detailed explanation of how databases work and the problems, questions and challenges associated with their management. In addition, he identified the different types of databases, components, and languages. This section includes definitions for 35 database terms. 107 109 116 117
Networked computers allow offices to share hardware, software, and information while centralizing administration and support. Mr. Breeden's presentation included discussion of network types, design, components, topology, and protocols.

SEATTLE The celebration over the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has spread to Western Washington.
Mostafa Aly, owner of Shawarma King restaurant in Seattle, was juggling cooking and answering the phone.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God! Aly screamed, bubbling over with excitement. Everybody is in the street, I wish I was there.
Aly moved to Seattle five years ago for a better life.
There was nothing there. No jobs.
But he always had dreams of going back.
It's what I've always hoped for. It's my home.
Now with the possibility of change in Egypt, the sight of the Egyptian flag brings tears to his eyes.
Celebrate together because we are Egyptian. We're one, says Aly's best friend Yasser Hassan.
Hassan's father died 10 years ago Friday. He says he and his country are born again.
It's a feeling I can't describe, said Hassan.
Both men look forward to experiencing the change.
If Egypt is gonna change and I'm going to see that, why am I gonna stay here? I'm gonna go back. It's my home, said Aly.
Neither Aly nor Hassan are sure what Egypt will look like in the years to come, but they have a lot of faith in the military and they look forward to their people being able to take part in a fair voting system.

FS, Modified 320g Boris Becker 11 Special Edition
Hi, i have had all of the lead on this special edition profesionally removed so the weight is down to 320g unstrung. It is amazing to play with as it has a flex of 58 so the comfort and control are perfect! It is in 9 out of 10 condition and i will send any pics to show that.
It comes with a hard case with foam lining that is also limited edition.
It cost me a fortune along with the customisation.
Im looking for £70 plus P&P. UK Only thanks
Hello. Is this racket still for sale, would you consider selling it without the hard case and hopefully for cheaper.
Yeah I would let it go for £50 without the case. You can contact me on 07545612411 or firstname.lastname@example.com if that's any good? Thanks
I believe we have a deal thank you, will contact you through email.

I particularly wanted to have the figurines printed in 3 parts to be assembled - ie the character, the helmet and the visor. This means the character can be viewed without the helmet on, or with the helmet on but no visor, and so on. Modelling and texturing was done with Blender, texture editing with GIMP, and final preparation for printing with netfabb. Over the past couple of months Ive had 2 separate shapeways orders arrive which contained prints for this project. It took a few test prints to get the models working properly, for example the visor was printed in Frosted Detail originally, but that wasnt transparent enough. Reprinting in Transparent detail worked better. I also had to modify the Kerbal character model to have little 'plugs' to hold the helmet better. I have a more detailed description of the process behind making the models, which can be found on the instructables site - http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Kerbal-Figurine-K erbal-Space-Program/ And on top of that, the instructable mentioned above has been featured in the Tech section AND on the front page of the site! (http://www.instructables.com/) Ive also had a great response from the KSP community, I have a thread in the forums over there as well [link] Anyway, some pictures: The full album (a ton of pictures) for this project is here - http://imgur.com/a/Q2gdD Enjoy! ]]> AD-Edge 2012-05-29T05:50:32-00:00 Re: Kerbal Space Program 3D figurine prints (Image Heavy) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=49078&th=9690#msg_49078 arklan 2012-05-29T14:50:11-00:00 Re: Kerbal Space Program 3D figurine prints (Image Heavy) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=49177&th=9690#msg_49177 arklan wrote on Tue, 29 May 2012 14:50great model/print. and now i'm off to check the game out.

I should also mention that I entered the instructable mentioned above into the 'Make it Real' contest over at Instructables.com, after receiving an email from one of the community managers who informed me about the contest and asked if Id enter it.
