The sister of Osama Ali, who was killed in an Israeli strike, grieves during his funeral in Gaza City.
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israeli troops had responded "forcefully" to rocket fire from Gaza and could step up their response if a fragile truce failed to hold.
"Regarding the situation in the south, the Israeli army acted forcefully against those who try to attack us and, if necessary, the army will act more forcefully still," the Israeli prime minister warned at the start of a Cabinet meeting.
"Our policy is to use force to restore security and calm to the residents of the south," he added.
Netanyahu spoke as a fragile second attempt at a truce between Israel and armed groups in Gaza wobbled, with the Israeli military saying three rockets fired from the Palestinian territory landed in the southern Eshkol region.
The rockets caused no damage or injuries, a military spokeswoman told AFP, but they threatened the prospects for the cease-fire that began at midnight Saturday.
A previous truce, announced Wednesday, had begun to unravel with Gaza rulers Hamas threatening to call it off altogether, as Palestinian officials said three people were killed and dozens wounded in seven Israeli airstrikes Saturday.
An army spokeswoman said that by Saturday evening 28 rockets had slammed into southern Israel that day and Friday, with another 10 brought down by Israel's air defense system.
The current round of Israeli attacks and Palestinian retaliation began with airstrikes on June 18, just hours after gunmen from Sinai carried out an ambush along Israel's southern border with Egypt, killing an Israeli civilian.
Israel has said its sudden spike in Gaza operations was "in no way related" to the Sinai border incident, with the military saying the air force was targeting militants poised to attack the Jewish state.
Since last Monday, 15 Palestinian citizens have been killed and several dozen others have been wounded, most of them militants, in multiple Israeli airstrikes.
At least 152 rockets and mortar rounds have been fired into Israel from Gaza, wounding five Israelis including four border policemen.

"An area of orange discolouration of the sea at the NE shore was observed during aerial inspections on 6 and 19 March. Previously (1976-77) sea discolouration was present at the S shore and was related to the development of a new thermal area on the S flank of the island. This thermal area was now observed to have been reduced in size by regrowth of vegetation."

Expansion of fumarolic area during September-November
Download or Cite this Report
Kadovar is a 365-m-high, 1.4 km-diameter volcanic island. A 1700 report of smoke seen briefly there was believed at the time to be a volcanic eruption. Since then no eruptions are known, and no traces of thermal activity remained in early 1976, although there was supposedly some such activity several generations ago. The island has the form of a steep-sided cone 250 m high, with a 600-m-wide crater breached to the SSE. The breach probably extended at least to sea level, but the crater and breach are now occupied by a high-standing, conical lava dome. The island is completely vegetated, and supported a village of more than 300 people built around the crater rim. Most of the village gardens are on the side of the dome.
In early August 1976, the first reports were received of activity there, the precise nature of which has not been clearly established. A summary of events to mid-November, and of investigations so far carried out, follows.
May-June 1976. The precise nature of the early events is not clear. Some sort of disturbance seems to have taken place in the sea just off (50 m?) the S coast, which may have been a small hydrothermal eruption or, more likely, a vigorous ebullition of gas bubbles. Weak earth tremors were felt, apparently during the preceding few days, and an explosive sound was heard. Scum was noticed on the water, persisting for a few days, and reddish coloration appeared on the rocks in the tidal zone at one point on the S coast.
August 1976. An investigation [on 3 August] was made by Rabaul Volcano Observatory (RVO) volcanologists D. Wallace and R. Almond. The only effect of the earlier activity was a 100 m-long reddish zone of iron hydroxide discoloration at sea level, and associated sea discoloration. No thermal activity or other unusual phenomena were observed, and no definite volcano-seismic activity was recorded during 5 hours operation of a portable seismograph.
September 1976. Hot ground was first noticed midway up the side of the lava dome about 16 September. An investigation [on 26 September] was made by volcanologist R. Cooke. The coastal discoloration was more extensive than in August, and ground temperatures up to 49°C were present in this zone. The reported hot ground on the mid-slope of the dome was about 30 m x 15 m in area, and was producing vigorous emissions of SO2 and HCl gases (indicated by Dräger tubes) from one main vent and numerous minor vents, at temperatures up to 99.7°C. The white gas column was visible above the treetops from the boat, but only minor vegetation damage had occurred. A newly formed small, weak patch of hot ground was found 100-200 m upslope of the main fumarole area. No volcano-seismic activity was recorded during 5.5 hours with a portable seismograph.
October 1976. Government officers R. Allen and D. Mahar from Wewak inspected the fumarole area [on 14 October], which had intensified in activity and was about 150 x 50 m in area. The expansion had proceeded principally upslope. [On 23 October] D. Mahar again inspected the fumarole area, which had further enlarged. All vegetation in the area had been killed.
November 1976. An investigation [during 10-12 November] was made by volcanologist V. Dent, physicist D. Norris (University of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby), and D. Mahar. The main fumarole area had enlarged again and was estimated at about 150 x 70 m, and the area of dead vegetation was more prominent. A second main fumarole vent had developed 20 m downslope of the original main vent of September, but the principal expansion since then had been upslope, and to the E. The maximum temperature measured was again about 99°C. Collections of fumarole gas were made in evacuated glass tubes containing silica gel, and gas condensates were also collected. The maximum ground temperature in the S coast discolored zone was 49.5°C, similar to September. About 50 hours recording by a portable seismograph produced 5-10 very small and close A-type events. A seismic event counter was installed on the island. D. Norris carried out a total magnetic field survey of the island using a proton magnotometer.
It is intended to continue regular inspection visits to the volcano, but a full-time observation post is not planned at this time. Such a post will be established, probably on Blupblup Island, 13 km north of Kadovar, when an eruption is believed to be imminent, or once an eruption has commenced. All residents of Kadovar have been evacuated to Blupblup Island.

Thermal activity stabilizes

"Since the previous report, five more ground inspections have been made, and a sixth is planned for the last week in April. Complete investigations, including temperature measurement, collection of gases and gas condensates, measurement of magnetic field, and seismic recording, were made during visits on 15-16 December (Cooke, Norris), and 16-18 February (Dent, Norris), and are planned for the forthcoming visit (Cooke, Norris). Partial investigations were made on 3 April (Wallace), when temperatures and gases were investigated, and on 26 January (Mahar) and 14 February (volcanological assistant J. Kuduon), when temperatures were measured. Vertical aerial photographs were taken by a survey firm on 15 November, and aerial obliques were taken during the December inspection. Another aerial inspection was carried out on 7 January, the day after a shallow M 6.5 earthquake about 30 km WSW of Kadovar on 6 January, 0611 GMT (preliminary location by USGS). This earthquake had no apparent affect on the volcano at the time.
"During the period covered by this report, the level of activity seemed to have stabilized. Maximum temperatures have been steady at 99-100°C, marked expansion of the main thermal area has ceased (although weak isolated gas vents are still occasionally found in new areas), and the quantity of gas emitted may even have declined slightly. The thermal area was not as unpleasant to the investigators as it was last November-December, although as some gas samples have not yet been analyzed quantitative information on the changing gas content is not available.
"No significant magnetic field changes have been detected. A few volcano-seismic events were recorded in both November and December, but such events appeared to be absent in February. Felt earthquakes were noted by inhabitants of nearby islands on several occasions, but there is no strong reason to associate these with Kadovar volcano. Unusually high seismic event counts on Kadovar are suspect because of a malfunctioning event counter.
"Although the initiation and early rapid development of this thermal activity led to the belief in a forthcoming Kadovar eruption, the stabilization (or even slight decline) in activity suggests the possibility that the event may be confined to thermal activity. Such purely thermal events have been reported elsewhere. However, the event will continue to be treated as a possible precursor to an eruption, and the former inhabitants will be advised to maintain the evacuation for the present. Only a small number of men are presently living on Kadovar in order to maintain the original gardens, to supply the evacuees on Blupblup Island. It is interesting to speculate that the 6 January earthquake may have been connected with the levelling-off of activity."

No significant changes in the thermal area

"Three detailed investigations have been made since the March report: 25-28 April (Cooke, Norris) 72 hours of seismic recording, gas condensates collected, temperatures measured, and magnetic field re-surveyed; 7-8 June (Dent) 30 hours seismic recording, temperatures measured, and gas and gas condensates collected; and 7-8 July (Wallace, Norris, Emeleus) 30 hours seismic recording, temperatures measured, gas and gas condensates collected, and magnetic field re-surveyed.
"The main thermal area has been little changed during this period. The original fumarole of last September shows the same degree of activity as it did then. Volcano-seismic activity was virtually nil. Maximum temperatures were still 99-100°C but there may have been slight changes in the magnetic field pattern. The only features presently indicating continued development are weak thermal areas that are still being established in new areas on other parts of the island. Some of the population have returned, contrary to a previous report, but they have established a new settlement in a comparatively safe area, having abandoned their old village site."
Information Contacts: D. Wallace, RVO.
Few changes in the main thermal area; no volcano-seismic activity
Download or Cite this Report
"Volcanologists have made three detailed investigations at Kadovar since the report in July. On each occasion, temperatures were measured, gases and gas condensates were collected, and seismic recording was carried out; a magnetic resurvey was made during the most recent inspection. Dates and personnel were: 18-19 August, V.F. Dent; 30 September, C.O. McKee; 13-14 November, C.O. McKee and D. Norris. On 14 September, photographs were taken during an aerial inspection.
"The main thermal area was much the same size as before, apart from some expansion at the SW corner, and spanned about 250 m upslope, and about 130 m maximum around the slope. It is now much more sharply defined and clear because of progressive fall of dead vegetation. Overall vapor emission seemed much less than in earlier periods, and was more concentrated in a few main areas, with fewer of the weak but widespread vents evident in early 1977. The original main fumarole may be a little reduced in intensity, although its temperature has not declined, remaining near 100°C. No measured temperatures exceeded 100°C, although the upper part of the main zone has become hotter, approaching 100°C. Vapor emission was still most profuse in the upper part.
"No volcano-seismic activity has been recorded during the report period, and although significant relative changes in total magnetic field have taken place, no simple pattern is apparent."
Information Contacts: R. Cooke, RVO.
Thermal activity declines slightly
Download or Cite this Report
Thermal activity was continuing in late March. An aerial inspection 21 March and a ground inspection the next day revealed that although principal fumaroles remained at the same level of activity as before, a slight decrease of activity in the main (S flank) thermal zone is indicated by minor revegetation. The odor of acid gases was no longer present at several groups of fumaroles and temperatures have dropped slightly (from 100 to 97-97.5°C). However, another area of thermal activity (high on the E side of the lava dome) had produced a significant vegetation kill in the past few months.

The 2-km-wide island of Kadovar is the emergent summit of a Bismarck Sea stratovolcano of Holocene age. Kadovar is part of the Schouten Islands, and lies off the coast of New Guinea, about 25 km north of the mouth of the Sepik River. The village of Gewai is perched on the crater rim. A 365-m-high lava dome forming the high point of the andesitic volcano fills an arcuate landslide scarp that is open to the south, and submarine debris-avalanche deposits occur in that direction. Thick lava flows with columnar jointing forms low cliffs along the coast. The youthful island lacks fringing or offshore reefs. No certain historical eruptions are known; the latest activity was a period of heightened thermal phenomena in 1976.

Harness Racing: Rocknroll Hanover euthanized
According to reports on multiple sites, former Horse of the Year Rocknroll Hanover was euthanized on Thursday at Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center.
The career earner of $2,754,038 suffered an irreversible gastric impaction according to Harness Racing Update.
Rocknroll Hanover was named 2005 Horse of the Year by the United States Harness Writers Association and has sired such greats as Rock N Roll Heaven ($2,748,818), who received the same honor in 2010, and 2012 standout 3-year-old A Rocknroll Dance.
Owned by Perretti Racing Stable, Jeffrey Snyder and Lothlorien Equestrian Centre, Rocknroll Hanover was the leading money winning sire in 2012 with his prodigy earning over $17 million.
On the track, Rocknroll Hanover collected the trophies for the Metro Pace, North America Cup, Meadowlands Pace and Breeders Crown during his career.
The 11-year-old was standing stud in Pennsylvania for Perretti Farms.
So sorry to hear of this sad news. RIP to one of the greatest sires in the sport.

Samsung adds iPhone 5 to its patents infringement case
Samsung had already made it clear that they intend to add the iPhone 5 to their patent infringement case against Apple as soon as the product launches. Sticking to that claim, Samsung has done exactly as promised, and the new iPhone 5 now joins the previous iPhones, iPad and iPod touch in Samsung's case.
The patents are mostly 3G standards essential, along with some specific features. After the launch of the iPhone 5, Samsung investigated the device and found it infringing upon its patented technologies.
Of course, Apple has a list of their own with over 20 Samsung devices that they think infringes upon their patents, including devices such as the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy S III.
The iPhone 5 will be added to the case when it gets a hearing on November 6. As before, the hearing will take place in a California court and will be presided by Judge Paul Grewal.

Morgan Oglesby has been playing the guitar since he was 12 years old, dreams of being a big-named guitarist and he's now writing his own songs.
While his favorite musical genre is heavy metal, perhaps his best work yet is a rock ballad written for his brother Jesse, who is serving in Afghanistan.
The ballad is titled "Carry on the Blood-stained Banner."
It is a personal outlet for Morgan, although he will boldly tell you he was never sad about his brother going to war.
"I think that Jesse is serving his country to the best of his ability. I respect that a lot," said Oglesby.
Morgan says he gets worried about his brother. So, Morgan used what he witnessed around him to honor his brother and all other military men and women.
"The last thing my dad said was come back standing tall or on your shield. I'm like, that's pretty powerful," said Oglesby.
He used that message in his lyrics.
"Cause you're a soldier and that's the way to be… you fight your Nation's battles... just to keep us free," writes Oglesby in his song.
"That's what the soldiers are out there doing, they're protecting our American flag and the land it represents," said Oglesby. "It's hard to explain, he's out there serving his country; he's a soldier."
Morgan's brother Jesse is at home right now. He's finished half of his tour. He wasn't available for comment, but Morgan says his brother is enjoying his time off and is proud of the support he's received locally.

What is the definition of gambling? Does it include poker? If anything, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's reversal today of the lower court's ruling in U.S. v. Lawrence DiCristina may make it more difficult to conclusively answer either question
The name of the underlying case may sound familiar to those who take an interest in poker. It was the case cited in The Internet Poker Freedom Act of 2013 introduced by Representative Joe Barton (R-Tex) in the U.S. House of Representatives last month, which seeks to establish a program for the licensing of Internet poker by States and federally recognized Indian tribes. Specifically, the Act states, in part, "There is uncertainty about the laws of the United States governing Internet poker, though not about laws governing Internet sports betting. In United States v. DiCristina a Federal District Court for the Eastern District of New York held that poker is a game in which skill is the predominant factor in determining the outcome and that in passing the Illegal Gambling Businesses Act, Congress only intended to criminalize clear games of chance."
While the Second Circuit did not interfere with the lower court's determination that poker is a game of skill, it did conclude that the Illegal Gambling Business Act ("IGBA") does not set forth an independent federal definition of gambling, but instead only incorporates state law. Chicago-based Gambling Law attorney Mark Lavery says that the Second Circuit's decision proves that once-and-for-all skill does not matter in the equation — poker is gambling.
"The 'game of skill' argument to support the legality of poker was a lie perpetrated by Online Poker companies to deceive consumers into depositing money on their gambling Internet sites," said Lavery to FORBES. "I think this decision renders the skill argument a dead letter for loophole gambling like online poker and the so-called emerging 'Daily Fantasy Sports' craze. This ruling should not have an Impact on the Internet Poker Freedom Act. That bill tries to legalize what is illegal gambling in almost all states — online poker."
Lavery's position is undoubtedly one that no supporters of Internet poker are willing to accept. In a press release disseminated by the leading poker grassroots advocacy group, Poker Players Alliance ("PPA"), executive director John Pappas held on to the notion that skill is what matters and that not all hope is lost. "Today's decision by the Second Circuit Court, while unfortunate, only adds to the growing call for federal clarity on the definition of gambling. The Second Circuit clearly did not dispute the district court's finding that poker is a game of skill. This is a key point distinguishing poker from the types of gambling games that Congress and state legislatures have often tried to prohibit." Lavery disagrees. He says that it is not important that the Second Circuit did not disturb the skill issue.
There is no current indication as to whether Mr. DiCristina will appeal the Second Circuit's decision; however, if he does, he has the support of the 1 million+ PPA behind him. However, it may not be worth DiCristina's time or effort. "I think the Second Circuit got the law right here, irrespective of my own belief that poker is a game that's predominantly one of skill and the possibility that certain federal poker lobbyists may believe that the appellate panel got it wrong," said Stuart Hoegner of Gaming Counsel Professional Corporation to FORBES. "Other judges may look to Judge Weinstein's analysis of Texas Hold'em and use that to influence their own thinking in future cases, but that will take time and legal tests that make the predominance test relevant."
What does all this mean for Representative Joe Barton's Internet Poker Freedom Act of 2013? "The odds are against the recently-introduced Barton bill passing regardless of the result in DiCristina," opined Hoegner. "The Second Circuit's judgment won't matter in this respect."

Grant Money Aimed at Attracting New Airline Flight
A $700,000 federal grant could mean that airline travelers can again move between Charleston and Orlando. There has not been a direct flight out of Yeager Airport since June of 2012 when AirTran stopped its route. Southwest Airlines is the parent company. The Charleston Gazette reports the grant money will be used primarily as bait to attract a low-fare airline, and be used toward its marketing and to ease the airline's startup costs. The grant was recently announced by Sen. Jay Rockefeller.

I believe the reason why so many pirate copies of PC and PlayStation games are sold (This Week, 19 December 1998, p 16) is the obscenely high price that we, the public, are forced to pay for our software.
At present, virtually all games for the PC are priced at £35 on release, even though they may come from a large number of different publishers and are sold in different high-street shops. "Lowest price guaranteed," they claim, safe in the knowledge that the supposedly competing shop down the road will be charging identical prices. To me this sounds like price fixing, either by the retailers or the publishers.
Even if the price of newly released software could be reduced, the public is still being cynically exploited by the vast majority of games publishers as paying beta-testers. The quality of several major releases during the past year or so ...

The North Otago Cricket Association was founded in 1899 for the growing interest of cricket in the district. The NOCA is now over 100 years old and the cricket is as strong as ever, with the Oamaru Cricket Club being the third oldest cricket club in New Zealand.
Since then North Otago has played in three Hawke Cup challenges (the last as recently as 2000) and taken part in the Southern Hawke Cup Emlination Series against Southland and Otago Country. Perhaps its most famous day came in February 1956, when led by then New Zealand Captain and local player John Reid, it played a West Indian team containing Alf Valentine, OG Smith and Sir Garfield Sobers.

Later this year, Congress will consider a sweeping revision to the Toxic Substances Control Act, the law that regulates industrial chemicals. This will be the first major revision in the law's 33-year history. PCRM scientists are working to make sure the revision benefits both people and animals, and PCRM members can aid the reform effort.
For the last several decades, scientists have conducted tests on animals in laboratories to obtain information on the potential hazards of chemicals to humans and the environment. However, recent advances in technology, coupled with a growing recognition of the failure of animal tests to predict human risks, have led experts to recommend a shift in toxicity testing toward modern, human-relevant methods.
The National Research Council's 2007 report, Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century, addressed the failures of animal-based safety testing and recommended cellular-based methods, which provide more relevant information and are cheaper, faster, and easier to use. These methods can assess a broader range of potential hazards, and are even applicable to mixtures and very low doses of chemicals.
While the push to modernize chemical regulations is an opportunity to incorporate new nonanimal testing approaches, it could also mean requirements for more animal tests. In fact, some groups are calling for tests that could require the use of hundreds of thousands of animals. PCRM is meeting with congressional staffers and environmental groups to prevent this from happening. The House of Representatives held the first hearing on the revision in February, and PCRM experts submitted written testimony.
You can help. To sign up for e-mail updates, please visit PCRM.org/Testing. If you are willing to meet with your congressional representatives in their local offices, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

If he had not been an artist, Richard Wagner once told his wife, Cosima, he would have wanted to become a saint.
It's lucky for Wagner that he became an artist because he demonstrated little of the aptitude that leads to canonization. He took whatever he wanted from his friends, whether their wealth or their women; he wrote the viciously anti-Semitic racial tracts, filled with rapture for the purity of Northern light and blond hair and blue eyes, that attracted the adoration of Adolf Hitler and became part of the inspiration for the "Final Solution"; and he was so consumed by paranoia and narcissism that he has acquired a well-deserved reputation as probably the most awful human being who ever produced great art.

New Exhibition at the McCord Museum Examines
he Masculine Ideal from Head to Toe!
15 May 2002 This spring and summer the McCord will
celebrate the well-dressed man with the much-anticipated
exhibition Clothes Make the MAN, developed by guest curator
Gail Cariou, the McCord's Curator of Costume and Textiles
Cynthia Cooper, and Curatorial Assistant Eileen Stack.
clothing tends to dominate museum collections, and up to now
there have been very few exhibitions devoted solely to the
subject of men's fashion. Clothes Make the MAN goes beyond the
evolution of garments and styles to explore the diverse
factors that have influenced men's clothing choices across
three centuries. It debunks the myth that practicality is the
main influence on men's clothing and shows how even small
changes reflect broad shifts in cultural ideals.
and "fashion" are usually considered mutually
exclusive terms in Western society. Social taboos against
men's interest in clothing that first appeared in the 19th
century have blinded us to the enduring male enthusiasm for
fashionable apparel. Despite society's intermittent unease
with the notion of the "fashionable man," men have
persevered in their pursuit of a stylish image. Men's
clothing, no less than women's, is subject to cycles of
fashion that reflect changing cultural, economic and political
environments, as well as evolving perceptions of masculinity
and femininity. Like women, men use clothing for personal
display or to identify with their peers. And like women, men
follow the unwritten rules of the fashion game.
Introductory text,
Clothes Make the MAN
Exhibit Tailor-Made for the Well-Dressed Man
The Clothes that Make the Ideal Man
Evolving ideals of masculinity have been reflected in changing styles of men's clothing. Masculinity identifies six masculine ideals through their respective styles of dress. Featured garments include a lavishly embroidered 18th-century silk waistcoat, an austere, mid-19th-century wool frock coat and a faultlessly tailored 20th-century Savile Row suit.
thy Name is...Man?
Men have always used fashion to attract attention and satisfy a desire for personal display. Just as women do, men use clothing to enhance, adorn and modify their bodies. However, because too great a preoccupation with personal appearance may be interpreted as vain and unmanly, men's interest in fashion is often discreetly restrained. Vanity explores men's venture into clothing overtly designed for aesthetic satisfaction, and features eye-catching waistcoats and evening apparel as well as garments strategically constructed with padded chests or corseted waists.
Jacket and Tie Required
The rules of social propriety govern what men "should" or "shouldn't" wear. These rules reinforce social status and preserve distinctions between public and private spaces. Propriety explores the influence of 19th-century dress etiquette on men's fashion choices, from morning suits to evening tailcoats. It also contrasts the public and private clothing of a fashionable man. Artifacts selected for this zone include silk top hats and a 1940s tie hand-painted with a topless Hawaiian dancer, illustrating that men have both followed and flouted the rules of good behaviour.
One of the Boys
Uniforms and ceremonial dress have tended to play a dual role in the history of men's fashion. Not only do they propose the most obvious of dress codes preserving social distinctions, reinforcing hierarchy and group membership some uniforms also provide men with socially acceptable opportunities for overt fashionable display. Fraternity examines the social and aesthetic appeal of uniforms and ceremonial dress with such examples as a Papal Zouave uniform, a Dress Windsor uniform, and a Canadian Pacific Hotel Doorman's coat. This zone also explores the creation of "uniforms" that might signal unofficial fraternal membership, such as the businessman's grey flannel suit and the street punk's studded leather motorcycle jacket.
Manufacturing the "Look"
In order to achieve the fashionable masculine ideal, men have turned to a variety of sources for advice and supply regarding their clothing. The tailor, the factory worker, the shopkeeper, and devoted women at home have all contributed to creating the ideal man. Among the artifacts used to explore the theme of Production are the 19th-century record books of the Montreal tailoring firm Gibb & Co., factory-made shirts still wrapped in their original paper labels, and smoking caps deftly embroidered by dedicated homemakers.
Not in Public, Please!
While vanity may spur personal display, social inhibitions tend to rein it in. Changing notions of modesty, vulgarity and sexuality have aroused debate over how much of a man's body may be acceptably displayed in public. Exposure presents the evolution of the trouser fly and bathing suit as examples of change and resistance in men's fashion and cultural norms.
From the Athletic Field to the Ballroom
Sportswear has played an important role in the development of men's fashion, both borrowing from and contributing to mainstream dress styles. This exhibition zone explores the crossover between athletic clothing and men's fashion, and examines the importance of the sports hero to the popularisation of athletic wear. Featured garments include an early 20th-century Montreal Hunt Club evening coat, yellow polyester tennis trousers from the 1970s, and a Montreal Canadiens hockey sweater worn by Guy Lafleur in the 1984-85 season.
Who Wears the Pants?
A key function of menswear has been to act as a gendering device that constructs masculinity and distinguishes men from women. Though the "dress" of masculinity is continuously redefined, taboos against men's cross-gender dressing remain strong. Gender examines the history of Western dress practices that distinguish male from female, and explores instances of socially sanctioned cross-gender dressing. This zone is illustrated with 19th-century children's clothing, women's "tailor-made" suits, and a man's full Scottish Highland dress.

In an interesting turn of events: Jeremy Gaffney, Executive Producer and President of Carbine Studios is stepping down as the president of the company in order to take a more consulting role moving forward. The reason for this sudden change may be related to ongoing stress from working with a big team over at Carbine, as well as other issues. Currently, it has not been reported who will be stepping in for Gaffney as president.
"I wanted to let you know that I'm stepping down as President of Carbine Studios. I'm not leaving entirely; I'll be adopting more of a consulting role going forward with Carbine (and possibly elsewhere in the industry down the road). This is not a bad thing. Some of our current development stars will be stepping up to lead WildStar forward while I can help work with them from the outside."

Bible Software
Software Name & Version (e.g., Logos Bible Software 4):
Bible Explorer 4
Website URL of Software:
What is the best feature of the software?
The best feature about this software is that it has as much as, if not more, than all of the other software packages you have listed here, except it's FREE. After downloading the software, I also downloaded more than 200 books in the software's library. Others are charging over 400.00! This is free!
How could the software be improved?
I can't see any needed improvements as of yet. I started my sermon preps today for the next month and with all the available tools, I finished in about two hours. Excellent software!
Was the software a good value for the price you paid?
Better than any of these other software packages. All this came with the beta version. I checked all of the software packages you have listed here and they're the same, except this was FREE!
What software features do you use most?
The word processor is powerful and easy to use. The library contains no less than 15 book categories for different areas of reference and study, plus reading plans, bookmarks, audio, highlighting, devotionals, etc. There really is too much to list here.
What is your primary use for the software?
To prepare for discipleship training overseas in the far east. It is an excellent tool for any and all areas of theological study and research, whether it be for personal or professional use.
How long have you used the software?
Less than 1 year.
My Review
If you would like a Bible software package that includes all of the features of the $400 and up software for free then take the time to see what Bible Explorer 4 is all about. With this software, you have document capabilities, split screen options, a powerful word processor, a library where the website offers more than 200 books to quickly download on subjects that range from concordances, different Bibles, books on the historical and social aspects of biblical history, maps and atlases, picture gallery, movie section, study help, study guide, dictionaries and encyclopedias, devotionals ... literally everything you could possibly want to know about all aspects of the Bible and biblical times.
I was very impressed with the ease in which I was able to immediately start using all of the available tools. I don't like software where I need a manual that looks like a phone book. This had easy-to-view videos. All this came on the beta version and as soon as I can save enough for the full version, I'll upgrade. You know what really sold me on this software was the fact that the company was obviously more concerned that my biblical studies get up and running first with an excellent beta starter package. Those are the types of companies I back, and Bible Explorer did just that. In just a couple of hours I had my software installed and was reading and studying from the greatest theologians in history. Not bad for free!

Due to injury and unavailability Winlaton were forced into several late changes seeing new signing 6'5" tall Alex PEARSON in the second row, Scott Taylor on the wing and John Kelly filling in at scrum half.
On an almost spring like day giving perfect Rugby conditions Redcar kicked off and after an early bout of pressure by Winlaton the hosts took the game to the visitors and when ball was won in mid field Redcar on 10MINS spread the ball wide and their winger looked certain to score in the corner but a try saving tackle by full back Mark Seddon saved the day and Winlaton cleared their lines.
At this stage Winlaton started to play some good rugby moving the ball through all phases with Connor SHERIDAN dictating play at fly half but over elaboration and silly mistakes were leading to good moves breaking down. On 15MINS from a counter ruck on the half way line the ball was won by Scott SCULLION who fed SHERIDAN and then onto Jamie HOPKINSON who sprinted 50 Metres to score under the posts (5PTS) + (2PTS) the conversion kicked by SEDDON. Redcar responded but Winlaton's defence were able prevent a score.
On 25MINS SHERIDAN again made a great break and when the move broke down in the Redcar 22 the Vulcans won the resulting scrum against the head and John Kelly and Scott Taylor attacked down the blindside and after a clever series of interpassing between the two saw KELLY touchdown in the corner(5PTS) with the difficult conversion being missed. It was all Winlaton at this stage and after a good break on 34MINS by HOPKINSON resulted in Redcar transgressing the kick was drilled in the corner. The lineout was won by Alex PEARSON again but as the forward drive rumbled towards the line KELLY gave a needless penalty away and as a result was 'Yellow Carded' and the danger was cleared by Redcar who then attacked the Winlaton defence.
On 37MINS the hosts were attacking in the Winlaton 22 but spilled the ball and with the referee allowing advantage David FALCUS hacked the ball on and exquisite foot ball skills took him the whole length of the field and when the ball kindly bounced up he caught it and crashed over(5PTS) + (2PTS) the easy kick converted by SEDDON.
Winlaton made the best start of the second half looking for the fourth bonus point try with Redcar seen to be out on their feet. With Stephen IVERS making some great runs but just failing to convert the pressure into points. For the first 15MINS the Vulcans were prominent with FALCUS and HOPKINSON making strong runs supported by the forwards with DENHAM and HENDERSON leading the way.
On 55MINS the game changed with Winlaton having played some superb rugby for much of the afternoon were bedevilled by the occasional lapse and perhaps infected by their own ambition and skill they began to loose momentum and seemed to take their foot off the gas. As a result they allowed Redcar to gain confidence and after a fluid three quarter movement they scored under the post (5PTS) + (2PTS) the easy kick being converted. At this stage Winlaton were further disrupted with what seemed to be a serious arm injury to SEDDON who left the field.
On 20MINS Club Captain Glenn PAGE came on after a long term injury to make his comeback which unfortunately did not last long as he attempted to win the Club record of 55 seconds held by Gareth BARRON for the fastest Yellow Card of the season but just failed when he was given 10 mins enforced rest after a silly foul only being on the field for a minute and a half.
For the last quarter of the game it was all Redcar and they started to move the ball along the three quarters continuously and they scored again 62MINS (5PTS) in the corner .Again they broke through again on 68MINS to score under the post (5PTS) + (2PTS) the try being converted to draw level.
For the last 5MINS it was Custer's last stand for the Vulcans and they defended for their lives and as the final whistle went it was Winlaton who were the most relieved to hang on to what at first had appeared to be a potential comfortable win but were grateful for the draw against the 'draw specialists' of the league who fought back to gain their fourth home draw of the season.
Man of the Match Alex PEARSON.

My story:Theorizing that one could travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator, and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al; an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap, will be the leap home.

Juba — The Republic of South Sudan has established a Commission for Refugee Affairs (CRA) as hundreds of thousands of refugees have entered the new republic from the neighbouring countries.
Most of the refugees fled from the neighbouring Republic of Sudan due to the conflicts in Darfur, Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile states.
Others come from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Central African Republic (CAR), Ethiopia and Uganda.
The refugees are mzinly concentrated in the four states of Upper Nile, Unity, Central Equatoria and Western Equatoria, out of which 170,000 are resettled in Upper Nile state alone.
Barnaba Marial Benjamin, official spokesperson of the government, on Friday said South Sudan's cabinet in response to the fast increasing number of refugees passed the organization's structures and logo for the establishment of the new institution.
The Commission was established by a presidential decree in accordance with the South Sudan's Refugee Act, 2013.
It will establish its headquarters in Juba and open branches in the states. The new institution will regulate the presence of refugees and their legal status in the Republic of South Sudan.
Millions of South Sudanese including the current leadership were either displaced to the northern region in the current Sudan or had gone for refuge in the neighbouring countries during the decades of war; an experience which perhaps easily made them sympathize with the situation of the new refugees.

TALLAHASSEE — As former Gov. Charlie Crist gears up for a Monday announcement that will almost certainly kick off a campaign to regain his old job, all but forgotten is that the man who currently holds the position hasn't officially announced his re-election effort.
To be sure, Gov. Rick Scott has left little doubt that he is making a bid for a second term, even if one ignores the recalibrations on policy and politics over the past few months — which critics deride as an effort to make nice with voters.
"Unless my wife tells me she's dumping me, I'm running for a second term," Scott told Bay News 9's "Political Connections" show back in 2011.
And Let's Get to Work — a fund-raising arm of Scott's 2010 campaign that held a $5,000-a-head fundraiser in Destin last week — has already raised $13 million this year in preparation for what could be one of the most expensive runs in state history.
But Scott has not held a campaign kickoff event, has not formally filed for the office and has yet to select a lieutenant governor to serve as his running mate in the 2014 campaign. His first lieutenant governor, former state Rep. Jennifer Carroll, resigned in March.
"There's just no rush," said Susie Wiles, who was Scott's campaign manager in 2010. "He is busy being governor and doing the things he said he would do when he was elected the first time."
Republican strategist Rick Wilson agreed there's no hurry for a formal event — if one even comes at all.
Crist, according to Wilson, is in a different position. The former Republican and former independent still needs to reintroduce himself to Democrats, and will be hit by the GOP over job losses while Crist was governor. Scott and his supporters have already begun arguing that the current governor is bringing those jobs back.
"He doesn't have to chase Charlie Crist," Wilson said of Scott. "Charlie Crist has to chase him."

Today we are giving away…
A $25 Gift Certificate
from Ellie Bee's Baby Boutique
I love baby showers. I'll admit, they felt like more of an obligation before I had kids of my own, but now, I get excited whenever I receive an invitation. Good friends + delicious food + adorable baby clothes = a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Next time you'd like to congratulate a new mom-to-be, check out our very own Colorado Springs Etsy shop, Ellie Bee's Baby Boutique. My favorite is the I Love You "Cherry" Much Onesie Bouquet, shown above ($30). It includes 1-3 (or more) onesies; 1-3 (or more) pairs of coordinating cotton pants; 1-3 "filler" items such as burp cloths, wash cloths, bibs, socks, mits, or hats; decorative accents such as a soft rattle, toy, hair bow, head band, and/or flowers; and 1 decorative basket, flower pail, or plant pot. So cute!
A cute diaper cake, like the one shown above ($40), has a long lifespan. First, use it at a centerpiece for the baby shower. Then, display it as part of the nursery decor. Finally, when you run out of diapers at 2 a.m. one night, dive in and put it to good use!
All bouquets are handmade and ONE OF A KIND. Since no two bouquets are the same, please email me with ideas on colors, themes, and/or items you'd like to have used in your bouquet!
EACH BOUQUET also comes with a scrapbooked card containing a list of items within the bouquet AND A PICTURE of the items as well! Your new mom will be able to keep her bouquet intact to show it off (if she wishes) until she needs her items!
Please note: all clothing in your purchase is of a name brand such as: Carters (or divisions of Carters), Gymboree, Old Navy, Baby Gap, etc. If you request specific brands, please contact me or leave your request in the "note to seller" section.
I love these cute little onesie sundaes ($19)! Can you believe that all of these coordinating necessities are included?
Lisa, the creative genius behind Ellie Bee's Baby Boutique, is always coming up with new ideas; she just mentioned on Facebook that she's working on "Bathtime Sushi"…can't wait to see it!
My name is Lisa. I am a mom of two fantastic children and a teacher. I recently cut back from my teaching position to part-time in order to stay home with my babies! This time with them is precious to me and I want to savor every moment of it. Thus, I created Ellie Bee's Bouquets, a way for me to stay home with my "loves", while at the same time do something productive with my time.
Ellie Bee's was also created simply for my love of being crafty, and for the love of making a gift that someone can give with pride and someone can receive with surprise (since my items are ONE OF A KIND)!

18th & 19th April
Since the Hampton Inn (sounds like a Carry On title :P) was exceptional value, very comfortable and had High Speed Internet access, I decide to take a couple of days off
I ride down to Helena and pick up some mail from Laura Paxton, the long suffering sister of James Weg, an Adventure Rider from South Carolina.
It's like my birthday - BMW Navigator II, a MiGSel 'speedo'GPS mount (thanks Marion
), Wrist Rest cruise control, my newly repaired 'Ultimate' earplugs, which Judge has got fixed for me (cheers Andy
), RAM mount (the wrong one :P), some business cards (dirt cheap on line & a nice way to leave my Email & Journal address) and my Canon S45 digital camera, back as good as new from Canon USA.
After thanking Laura (I'm coming back this way on Tuesday, to pick up Judge's Airhawk seat pad), I ride the very pretty 85 miles back to the hotel, dodging rainstorms.
My hotel is just down the road from the local Air National Guard (ANG) unit. ANGs are like a 'Territorial' Air Force - manned by locals who defend their state, or, more commonly these days, get deployed abroad. They have an impressive array of 'Gate Guards'
and, mounted on a revolving pylon, an F86 Sabre...
Unlike regular air forces, apparently pilots aren't required to turn up for duty at ANG units - well, not if they've got rich fathers, anyway
Enough aeroplanes - I return to the hotel and spend a couple of hours fitting the MiGSel mount and Wrist Rest. As I'm doing this, I'm visited by Kurt Baltrusch, riding a 1981 R80 G/S. He's seen me turning into the car park of the hotel and has come over to find out what this Brit is doing here... We have a chat as I fit the bits (he helps me re-attach the nuts to the back of the speedo, having smaller hands than my shovels :P). He has to go, and leaves me his card - he is the first recipient of my new business cards...
I spend the evening getting used to using the Navigator II.
This morning, I take the bike to bits - no pics, sorry...
Seats, side panels, tank, underscreen all come off to allow me to replace the power wire for the SPIII with that for the Navigator II. In all, the job takes about two hours and, amazingly, everything works as advertised first time :eek: :P
I then package up my camera, the GPS and its mounts and send them off to Houston, the first stage of a journey which will, eventually, get them to my mate Paul, back in Norfolk, who has bought the GPS and will (probably) sell the camera for me on EBay...
I get a text message from my Estate Agent - my tenants moved into my house today - which is another load off my mind (the agreement I have with my Estate Agent means I'm now guaranteed rent for 12 months
) - the extra money will ease the pressure a little...
South tomorrow, to pick up mail from Laura in Helena, then towards Yellowstone...

Hello. So, you have somehow Stumbled, Tumblr'd, Flickr'd or have been Tweeted to my blog. Welcome! My name is Sumayal Shrestha. I was made in Nepal, after which I have been packed and shipped off to different countries where I was installed with skills/expertise in:
- Environmental science & policy- energy efficiency, carbon financing (REDD), environmental communication and outreach;
- Geospatial analysis- cartography, mapping, GIS;
- Art- painting, drawing, installation, poetry; and
- Communication – writing, graphic design, social media and marketing strategy.
Why my Work is Important
After looking at the bullet points, you are wondering if I am just another jack-of-all-trades with a short attention span. In a way- yes to the former, but hear me out. Having a multidisciplinary background and skill set helps me bring attention to perspectives and connections that usually go unnoticed. One of the benefits of being a jack of all trades, I have found, is that you are always an outsider. So, when making policy decisions, creating maps or drafting up a marketing literature, you tend to put yourself in your audience's shoes and improve your product to fit their needs as much as possible.
That said, I have found my calling in breaking down complex technical and scientific data into information that is:
- Easy and quick consume;
- Interesting enough to tweet or pin (if you have caught on the Pinterest fever); and
- Relevant enough to fetch some kind of funding.
I use Sumayal.com to explore creative tools & trends to bridge environmental science, policy & the community. In addition to my ramblings to environmental news, I post infographics, maps, images, graphs and marketing campaigns that I find interesting or could use improvement. You will soon be able to trace the activity of the right side of my brain in a art blog I started called Paint and Policies.
- If you are seriously thinking of hiring or collaborating with me, I can send you my resume. Please send me an email at sumayalshr (at) gmail (dot)com
- I am working on an artful/"data-visualized" resume so you'll be able to take a peek at it soon!
So, you are still reading. That means we get excited about similar things! I would love to grab a chai cutting by a Banglore street vendor with you. But, I live in Washington, D.C., and a 24-hour flight to discuss our mutual love for Wired Magazine would be an over-kill. Fortunately, I also have an active life outside the 4-D world, so let's catch up!
