Information on the current legislation and legislative news.
EAST LANSING, Mich., Sept. 19, 2013 — The Michigan Education Association is urging state lawmakers to take immediate action and pass the Student Safety Act, which would establish a new tip line and an online interface to allow students to anonymously report safety threats.
This week's shooting near Lansing's Sexton High School emphasizes the need for a comprehensive program to address threats to student safety.
The state Senate in June unanimously passed legislation to create the program, dubbed "OK-2-SAY." Since then, Senate Bill 374 has sat dormant in the House Appropriations Committee.
"Safety is one of the most pressing issues facing our schools, and indeed our society," MEA President Steve Cook said. "Teachers and education support professionals can't help students reach their full academic potential without a safe learning environment in place. MEA strongly supports the Student Safety Act and urges Michigan lawmakers to make its passage a top priority."
A proposed new system for evaluating teachers can be a major step forward to achieving fair and reliable evaluations, but only if proper funding is in place, MEA President Steve Cook wrote in a column published Wednesday in the Detroit News.
After months of delay and political threats by Tea Party extremists, the state Senate on Tuesday narrowly passed a Medicaid expansion plan that will extend health care to about 400,000 low-income Michigan citizens.
The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote next week on re-authorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, known it is current incarnation as "No Child Left Behind," and MEA members have an opportunity to make their voices heard.
The state Senate narrowly passed legislation Wednesday to dissolve the Buena Vista and Inkster school districts and leave employees in those dissolved districts without jobs in the receiving districts.
House Education Committee Chairwoman Lisa Lyons, R-Alto, referred to school employees as "hogs" in a floor speech late Thursday night.
After the chair of the House Education Committee referred to school employees as "hogs," Republicans in the state House rammed through legislation late Thursday night that would dissolve the Buena Vista and Inkster school districts and leave employees in those dissolved districts without the right to a job in the receiving districts.
Under House Bill 4813 and House Bill 4815, the state superintendent and state treasurer could decide to dissolve a troubled school district if the district fails to submit a deficit reduction plan or is financially incapable of implementing such a plan; lacks the funds necessary to run a K-12 program for a year of required instructional hours; and has 2,500 students or fewer and lost at least 10 percent of its students over the course of a year.
The legislation is crafted so that only Buena Vista and Inkster qualify for dissolution. Initially, it would have applied to any school district in the state, but MEA successfully fought to have it narrowed.
A dissolved district's students and property would be transferred to one or more nearby districts.
School employees in the dissolved districts would not have rights to jobs in the receiving district — even though their district dissolved through no fault of their own. The legislation initially protected school employees in the dissolved districts by providing them with the right of first refusal for jobs in the receiving district, but an amendment by state Rep. Ray Franz, R-Onekama, stripped away all employee protections.
Franz's amendment was fully supported by House Education Committee Chairwoman Lisa Lyons, R-Alto. In response to school employees' concerns, Lyons said from the House floor: "Pigs get fat — hogs get slaughtered."
State lawmakers are calling on Gov. Rick Snyder to step away from his plan to expand the Education Achievement Authority, following a series of startling revelations about the corporate-backed school district.
Every school in Michigan will fail to make Adequate Yearly Progress and will lose federal aid unless the governor vetoes a part of the budget passed by the Legislature that strips funding for implementing the Common Core State Standards.
MEA members are asked to contact Gov. Rick Snyder immediately and urge him to restore funding for Common Core implementation. Call him at (517) 373-3400 or email him via the form on his website.
School employees have spent the better part of three years preparing for the launch of Common Core. Unless Snyder vetoes the Legislature's budget language and restores funding for Common Core implementation, all of the prep work put in by educators will be for naught.
The House and Senate this week passed education funding bills that provide slight increases for K-12 schools, community colleges and universities — but still fall short of providing proper funding for public education.

1 in 24 web users in Armenia suffer high rates of attacks
Review of August 23-30 telecommunications and information technology events.
The volume of electronic non-cash payments from Armenia via Internet amounted to AMD 2bln in the second quarter of 2010. The index grew by AMD 0.3bln (17.6%) as compared with the data of the first quarter of the year.
August 31, 2010
PanARMENIAN.Net - The subscriber base of VivaCell-MTS totaled 2 million 150 thousand people as of July 2010, increasing by 110 thousand (5,4%) compared with the same period in 2009.
Orange Armenia jointly with Canadian Research in Motion (RIM) company introduced BlackBerry complex solutions, including BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphones, software and services. The device is available in 17 company shops at the price of AMD 230 thousand.
BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone includes built-in support for both 3G connectivity and voice calls over Wi-Fi networks. The Bold 9700 offers fast data delivery and an enhanced Web-browsing experience, allowing quick connection to social networking sites. Communication and connectivity features include email and a full menu of messaging options (SMS, MMS, and IM).The BlackBerry Bold offers built-in support for 3G cellular connectivity, data downloads and voice calls over Wi-Fi. Other features include access to BlackBerry App World, a 3.2-megapixel auto-focus camera with video capture capabilities, and Bluetooth connectivity. BlackBerry user charge for internet services is AMD 7 500; 50 to 500 Mbps connection speed will be offered for AMD 8 to 10 000.The smartphone can also be used as a modem for high-speed internet connection.
According to Orange Armenia CEO Bruno Duthoit, 3-4 thousand smartphones can be sold in Armenia annually. "It's hard to estimate the potential of smartphone market, as it started developing not long ago. Orange Armenia has introduced three types of smartphones: iPhone, HTC, and now BlackBerry," Mr. Duthoit said.
VivaCell-MTS introduced BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000 and BlackBerry® Storm 2™ 9520 in Armenian market on August 14.
Moscow State University (MSU) and Intel corporation announced Scientists of Future competition of scientific and technical works among senior school students of the CIS countries.
Moscow will host the competition's finals on October 9 as part of Science Festival, MSU said on its website. Its winners will compete for the right to participate in the international finals of the competition– Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) due May 2011 in Los Angeles, U.S.
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world's largest international pre-college science competition, provides an annual forum for more than 1,600 high school students from over 50 countries, including Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine, to showcase their independent research. The Intel ISEF is the premier global science competition for students in grades 9–11.
The Caucasus region, with web surfers in Turkey, Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan is the most likely to be hit by a malicious computer attack or virus while online, according to Internet Security company AVG.
The data taken from 144 countries, involving over 100 million PCs, enabled AVG to look at the incidence of security threats.
Turkey leads the league table for risky surfing, with antivirus software having to step in to protect on average, one in 10 users of the Internet. Web users in Russia (1 in 15 were hit), Armenia (1 in 24), and Azerbaijan (1 in 39) also suffer high rates of attacks.
At the other end of the scale, some of the world's safest surfers can be found in Japan and Taiwan, while seven of the 10 safest countries in which to surf the Internet are in Africa. As a continent, South America was 'safest', and North America riskiest.
"Internet users in Turkey, Russia, the Caucasus and South-east Asia show disproportionately higher rates of being attacked than the global average of 1 in 73. There are a number of reasons for this," AVG spokesperson, Roger Thomson pointed out.
"Some of it may be down to a tendency to access semilegal or illegal download sites, while some of it probably is down to being less cautious when it comes to sharing links and files online. Another factor is the popularity of Internet cafes and people generally sharing computers," AVG spokesperson explained.
AVG Technologies is a global leader in security software, protecting more than 110 million consumers and small business computer users in 167 countries.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, AVG is the fourth largest vendor of anti-virus software and employs close to 500 people worldwide with corporate offices in the US, the UK, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
AVG has nearly two decades of experience in combating cyber crime and operates one of the world's most advanced laboratories for detecting, pre-empting and combating web-borne threats from around the globe for both businesses and home customers.

"At a time when Congress must make every dollar it spends count, this analysis shows that the biggest bang for the taxpayer's buck is in energy efficiency and conservation. We urge negotiators to put the money back where it creates jobs, reduces energy bills and protects the climate," said Kert Davies Greenpeace USA Research Director.
For a side-by-side comparison of the two bills' carbon impact, visit:
Kert Davies, Greenpeace USA Research Director, 202-319-2455, and Steven Biel, 202-319-2468, Greenpeace USA Global Warming Campaign Director, are available to discuss the implications of the bills' to the economy and environment or Mike Crocker, Greenpeace USA Press Officer, 202-215-8989.
Greenpeace & ICF: Stimulus Will Fight Global Warming
Recovery Package Would Cut At Least 61 Million Tons of CO2 Every Year
WASHINGTON - A new Greenpeace-commissioned carbon footprint analysis of the economic recovery package projects that the bill's energy efficiency and conservation provisions alone could cut carbon dioxide emissions by over 61 million metric tons annually, equivalent to the greenhouse gases from electricity use in 7.9 million American homes or taking over 13 million cars off the road. However, the transportation provisions of the bill, if spent on new highway construction instead of highway repair or public transit, could reduce the benefits by up to 5 million tons annually.
The analysis was conducted by ICF International, a leading climate and energy consulting firm for governments, Fortune 500 companies, and non-profits (http://www.icfi.com/).
"The fact that the federal government could spend so much money and actually help slow global warming means we've really turned the page as a country," said Kert Davies, Greenpeace's Research Director. "This is a real sign that we're starting to move beyond the era of fossil fuels."
Any effective economic stimulus must address global warming. Climate change will create a $271 billion drag on the U.S. economy by 2025 according to NRDC, and cost 5 - 20 percent of global GDP by 2100, according to the U.K. government's Stern Review.
The report projects how different provisions of the recovery package could affect US greenhouse gas emissions. Across the board, of the measures analyzed, energy efficiency offers the biggest potential for carbon reductions, as well as significant cost savings to consumers and local municipalities.
For example, the report found that $2.5 billion spent on energy efficiency upgrades to homes could reduce carbon emissions by 7.3 million metric tons and save $1.25 billion in annual utility costs. Similarly, a $6.9 billion investment to help state and local governments invest in energy effiiency could generate $3 billion in savings every single year and cut carbon emissions by over 20 million
tons per year.
In contrast, if the $30 billion allotted for transportation were spent on new highways, which create sprawl and paradoxically attract more cars, it would cause 10-50 times the global warming pollution than a similar expenditure on light rail or repairing existing roads. Previous research found that investments in mass transit create 19 percent more jobs than new highway construction.
In order to maximize the recovery package's economic and environmental benefits, Greenpeace recommended the following measures:
1. Since the job-creation potential of clean energy is virtually limitless, Congress should increase funding for these projects still further. Investments in energy efficiency create 4.4 times the number of jobs as the same investment in nuclear energy and 2.6 times the number of jobs as coal.
2. Make the renewable energy tax credits recession-proof. Today, some clean energy companies aren't earning enough profits to pay taxes and
claim the credit. Congress should make the tax credit fully refundable.
3. Eliminate the wasteful and environmentally damaging loan guarantees for nuclear power and liquid coal, which generate far fewer economic and jobs benefits than clean energy.

The report examined the Economic Stimulus Package proposal circulated to Congress on January 20, 2009. ICF was able to quantify the carbon
footprint for roughly $24 billion out of the $52 billion in energy spending detailed in the original proposal. For the transportation spending, which was slated to be distributed by states, ICF analyzed four different scenarios: spending all the money on new highway construction, spending half on new highways and half on road repair,spending it all on repair, and spending on light rail mass transit.
The majority of the remaining spending was determined likely have a beneficial effect on global warming pollution that was not quantifiable with the details provided at the time. For instance, several provisions provide money for research that will likely have long-term global warming benefits, such as a "Smart Grid" that will improve the efficiency of electricity distribution.

· Cancer metabolism
· Tumorigenesis and tumor progression
Precise regulation of cellular signaling is important for cell growth and differentiation, cell metabolism, apoptosis, and organ and tissue development; dysregulation of cell signaling can lead to the development of cancer. In my laboratory, we study cancer metabolism, tumorigenesis, and tumor progression, focusing on the following research topics:
· Understanding how cancer advances by altering cell metabolism. Cancer cells have increased glucose uptake and elevated lactic acid production under aerobic conditions, which is termed the Warburg effect. Our research has revealed that pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a glycolytic enzyme upregulated by NF-kB-dependent transcription (Molecular Cell, 2012; highlighted in Cancer Discovery and an MD Anderson news release), has an essential nuclear function in directly regulating β-catenin transactivation. These findings demonstrate that nuclear b‑catenin is transactivated via distinct mechanisms in response to growth factor or Wnt signaling. (Nature, 2011; Outstanding Research Publication Award at MD Anderson; highlighted in Cell's "Leading Edge", Nature SciBX, and Science Signaling). In addition, we discovered that PKM2 functioning as a protein kinase phosphorylates histone H3-T11, leading to H3-K9 acetylation, gene transcription, and cell cycle progression (Cell, 2012; highlighted in Science Signaling as a Signaling Breakthrough of the Year, Nature Reviews Cancer, and Cancer Discovery). This discovery demonstrates that a key glycolytic enzyme functions as a histone kinase and epigenetically regulates gene transcription in cancer cells. Furthermore, we have elucidated that nuclear PKM2 promotes the Warburg effect via a positive feedback mechanism by upregulating GLUT1, LDHA, and PKM2 expression (Nature Cell Biology, 2012; highlighted in Nature Chemical Biology and an MD Anderson news release). Our recent studies demonstrate that PKM2 regulates chromosome segregation and mitotic progression of tumor cells by phosphorylation of Bub3 (Molecular Cell, 2014; highlighted in Cancer Discovery and an MD Anderson news release). These studies systematically elucidate the mechanisms underlying a growth factor-promoted Warburg effect and the metabolic and non-metabolic functions of PKM2 in tumor development.
· Understanding how cancer cells migrate, invade, and metastasize by altering cell–cell contact and cell–extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction. We have found that EGFR activation promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis by disrupting cell–cell contact, which is mediated by caveolae-dependent endocytosis of E-cadherin, Snail-regulated transcriptional repression of E-cadherin, and activation of signaling molecules in caveolae (Cancer Cell, 2003). In addition, EGFR activation initiates intracellular crosstalk between EGFR- and Wnt-induced signaling pathways and promotes b-catenin transactivation by releasing b-catenin from cell adhesion complexes. This regulation is accomplished by the disruption of the E-cadherin–b-catenin interaction mediated by AKT-dependent b-catenin phosphorylation and abrogation of the b-catenin and a-catenin interaction mediated by CK2-dependent a-catenin phosphorylation (Molecular Cell, 2009). Furthermore, the activation of EGFR or Ras reduces focal adhesion by dephosphorylating and inhibiting the focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which is mediated by ERK-dependent FAK phosphorylation at S910, PIN1-dependent prolyl isomerization of FAK, and subsequent recruitment of PTP-PEST phosphatase for FAK dephosphorylation at Y397 (Molecular Cell, 2009). The combination of disrupted cell–cell contact, reduced focal adhesion, and accelerated turnover of focal contacts promotes tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis.
· Understanding how cancer progresses by promoting cell survival. In our research on the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis, we have found that c-Jun, a major transcription factor in the activating protein 1 (AP-1) family, is downregulated in response to stress stimulation and chemotherapeutic drug treatment. The downregulation of c-Jun, which is regulated by MEKK1 (functioning as a MAP kinase kinase kinase and an E3 ligase)-mediated ubiquitination (Molecular Cell, 2002) and HDAC3-dependent transcriptional repression, promotes cell apoptosis (Molecular Cell, 2007). Differential regulation of c-Jun protein plays an instrumental role in the chemoresistance of cancer cells.

I'm not sure they're the same thing. Tivo is distributing the software
inside the box when the sell it to you. A kiosk in your front lobby is
still under your control/posession. I'm not convinced that it's not
distribution, but I don't think that the Tivo/Dish situations apply

UT Womens Tennis Opens 2013 Season Friday with Rocket Invitational
TOLEDO, OH – The University of Toledo women's tennis team will begin its 2013 season Friday, Sept. 13 as it hosts the two-day Rocket Invitational. The other schools lined up to compete on the UT Varsity Tennis Courts are Detroit, Duquesne and IPFW.
"It'll be exciting to kick off our fall season at home this year," head coach Tracy Mauntler said. "The players always look forward to this event and it's just a little earlier this year. I've been happy with the effort and focus at practice so far, and this tournament will be a great indicator of how hard the players worked over the summer."
The Rocket Invitational is played as a hidden dual format with matches scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. on both Friday and Saturday. Each player or duo that wins a best-of-three match will earn a point for their team. Flight winners will be recognized at all six singles positions and all three doubles positions.
The Rockets return six letterwinners from last season, including senior Chrissy Coffman (11-10 singles record) and juniors Lexy Pitt (4-12 singles, 9-12 doubles) and Pia Rygh (8-13 singles, 9-10 doubles). The Midnight Blue & Gold will also welcome two newcomers, freshmen Bianca Avram and Kayleigh Hall.
Toledo continues its fall schedule next weekend in Bowling Green at the BGSU Invitational.

Although techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy are employed effectively with children and adolescents, they are generally supplemented with some element of Play. The child, unlike the adult, is less inclined to sit and rationally discuss any problems or concerns they might be having. The child is more inclined to act out their issues in Play. To augment the building of cognitive frameworks and behavioral learning with children, play therapy techniques are employed by the therapist which allow the child to play in the session in a less structured way; a way led by the child's unconscious needs, concerns, or possible fears. This can give the therapist insights into the child's issues or concerns, not accessed by speech or structured learning. Play also helps build trust and a relationship with the child - focusing on unconditional regard.
Vashon Youth & Family Services utilizes a Best Practices approach to counseling. One of these practices is called Cognitive-Behavioral therapy. This is used widely in mental health work, because it has been proven to be effective, practical and, in many cases promotes a rapid recovery from irrational feelings and behaviors that cause emotional pain, in the form of depression, anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive behavior, or work on current or past traumas.

Work-at-Home Call Center Companies
Name of Home Call Center Company
Arise Virtual Solutions
How long have you worked there?1-6 months
Did you have call center experience when hired?No
Was your training paid?No, but I didn't pay for it
Were there intial fees (background check, training)?$50-$100
How many hours a week do you work?More than 30 hours
How much do you make per hour?
Between $8.50-$16.00 plus commissions
My Review
I am a small business owner, who contracts with Arise Virtual Solutions to provide call center support to various companies many of them Fortune 500. I can't name names but they include a roadside assistant/travel company, the happiest place on earth, wireless service providers etc. Arise offers a unique opportunity for individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit to create their own schedules and set their own goals from the comfort of your own home. Not to mention the tax benefits of becoming an Independent Contractor or Home- based business owner. The initial hiring process is a little long and complicated but the support team is very strong. I ended up paying $10 for my background check and the initial training was free for me because I got in during a time when they are in dire need of contractors. I paid $200 to get incorporated in the state of Florida and $50 in annual fees, I believe it is over $300 here in Tennessee to get incorporated, plus $300 in annual fees, however you can join an already existing corporation to avoid the fee. I love working for Arise! I was a flight attendant for five years and thought I could never find a career that afforded me the same flexibility and Arise came to the rescue. If you have always wanted to start your own business, are not afraid of a little hard work and want the comfort of working from home check out Arise Virtual Solutions. If you are not in a place financially to start your own business join an existing VSC, like mine. The reward far exceeds the initial work. I hope you find this information helpful!
Would you recommend this to a friend?Yes
Laureen Miles Brunelli, About.com Work-at-Home Moms, says:
Thanks for your review. But I'll have to say that being an independent contractor is not always beneficial for your taxes. Self-employment tax and quarterly estimated taxes are headaches for the independent contractor that the employee does not have to deal with. See more on independent contractor taxes.
Arise Virtual Solutions inspires a lot of opinions—both good and bad. See what others have said about Arise.

Solid deal if he stays healthy and contributes decent innings. I'm not jumping up and down but there is definitely nothing to complain about either. This is very minimal risk for the Reds with decent upside.
It's a good number, slightly lower than some expected. Let's avoid arbitration on all of them.

Willis (stricly LOOGY, but perhaps a Micha Owens occasional pinch hitting role or mopup duty), Bray (LOOGY+) and Chapman (dominate vs either hand) could provide a pretty darn solid punch from the left side out of the pen. Buron, Massett & Cordero makes you pretty strong from the right side. Then theres Logan, Smith the slew of starters in AAA who could be a long man, etc... and the bullpen should be a big strength for the Reds.
W/ Bray's delivery, how long before he has to undergo TJS again? He's definently got that inverted W that was so talked about last year, how long can he last the 2nd time around? Another 10+ years (or essentially beyond his ML usefullness?)
Burton's a long shot, IMO. Ondrusek is definitely ahead of him, and Arredondo, Lecure and Smith likely are too. Things can change in ST, of course, but Burton has fallen off quite a bit in the last couple years.Buron, Massett & Cordero makes you pretty strong from the right side. Then theres Logan, Smith the slew of starters in AAA who could be a long man, etc.

Good deal for the Reds.

That has the makings of a lights out pen if Cordero can keep it together one last season. Do it for a contract CoCo!

Kuwaiti government targets four companies using illegal software
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Information announced that it has conducted another successful raid against four companies operating in the finance and industry sectors, where 161 personal computers were found, all loaded with unlicensed software. This operation required thorough coordination on behalf of the ministry's inspectors, who conducted the four raids in a rapid and simultaneous fashion.
Over the last weeks, the Ministry has called on everyone in the country to respect intellectual property laws, in order not to face the legal fallout caused by copyright violations. All companies using unlicensed software have also been requested to legalize their applications.

Painting Advice
Painting Tips: Choosing the Right Paint
Ceiling Paint
Ceiling paints are a special category of interior paints. They have an ultra-flat sheen that helps hide imperfections, deflect and diffuse light throughout a room, and eliminate harsh shadows. Their normally bright white color helps a room look larger and brighter. Quality ceiling paints are formulated to be more spatter resistant, making the paint job easier and neater.
A ceiling should be painted whenever the walls of a room are painted or wallpapered. A dingy ceiling can ruin a newly decorated room. It is difficult to paint a ceiling after the walls and trim have been finished.
White is commonly used, as it is the lightest tint of any color. White will also reflect the other colors in a room. For example, if the dominant color is blue, the white ceiling will tend to look slightly blue.
Although the change between wall and ceiling color may seem stark when viewed side-by-side, the "natural break" created where the wall and ceiling meet eliminates this effect. The eye accepts the color change easily.
Color on ceilings is becoming more popular. tintable ceilings paint and/or flat wall paint can be tinted to a lighter color of one of the decorating scheme's colors for the best effect. Medium or dark colors on the ceiling can make a room seem very small and close. Colors associated with the sun and sky can lend a very unique outdoor feeling inside.
Wall Paint
Latex paints are a class of paints usually made by mixing different pigments and binders in water. Clean up with warm soapy water, shorter drying time, and low odor are the most notable features of latex paints.
- They quickly dry to the touch (half an hour in a typical interior application).
- They have less odor than oil/alkyd paint.
- Tools can be cleaned with soap and warm water.
- They retain their sheen/gloss longer.
- They retain their color longer.
- They are more flexible than oil based paint.
- Latex paints resist blistering and peeling because they do not trap moisture.
Oil/Alkyd Paints
Oil base paints were the first factory-made paints. The main difference between an oil/alkyd and a latex paint is the vehicle or carrier of the resin. In a latex paint, water is the vehicle. In oil paint, a solvent, such as paint thinner or mineral spirits is used.
Some advantages of oil/alkyd paints:
- Exceptionally durable and washable
- Adhere, flow, and level well - very good brushing qualities
- Perform well at lower temperatures
- Tolerate poor surface preparation; have more bite onto the surface
Oil/alkyds also have some drawbacks over latex paints. The solvent vehicles have more odor than latex, they yellow with age, and require solvent for clean up, rather than soap and water.

When the ZX9R was released, I spoke to a lot of riders and almost all of them had got rid of their Fireblade because it was boring, but the ZX9R with Kawasaki's signature seductive intake noise and raw top end rush really rang their bell.
Totally agree. I've said that many times, expressed as "it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow." Some people don't get it though.
<Cough> KTM.
It's not nearly that simple. Folks are different and break things down differently, depending on their wants, past experience, abilities, opinions, etc. That's what makes this threat interesting, I think. I've ridden a lot of bikes for a lot of miles and I love Honda for their refinement and engineering prowess, which most people think is boring (At least most "enthusiasts."). "Character" in a bike is usually a bad thing for me, as it means some sort of raw, unfinished, poorly designed/executed, whatever-type failure. You also have to figure on a "Theory of Relativity" scale. Yes, any bike can be fun and (at least) more exciting than it's intended purpose but there's still relatively boring bikes out there.
All good fun. Keep 'em coming. I love compare and contrast. Good stuff.

MacNeill's Egyptian Arch is a railway bridge in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland. Construction was completed in 1851 for the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway Company and was the result of collaboration between engineer Sir John Macneill and constructor William Dargan. Locally known as the Egyptian Arch, the rail bridge passes over the Newry - Camlough Road.
It is located approximately 2 miles from the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland on the Dublin-Belfast railway line. It is located less than 1 mile along the line from the 18 Arches viaduct, also known as the Craigmore Viaduct.
The bridge gained its name from its resemblance to a Pharaoh's head-piece. The bridge has been selected for the design of the British One Pound coin to represent Northern Ireland for 2006. All four of the bridge design pound coins for each constituent part of the UK were designed by wood engraver Edwina Ellis in a Royal Mint design competition.
The bridge was also the location of the Egyptian Arch Ambush of Monday 13 December 1920.

The film was a critical success. The 2001 movie Tortilla Soup is a re-make.
As the film progresses, each daughter encounters new men. When these new relationships blossom, the stereotypes are broken and the living situation within the family changes. The film concludes with a surprise ending involving the chef himself.
The film features numerous scenes displaying the technique and artistry of gourmet Chinese cooking. Since the family members have difficulty expressing their love for one another, the intricate preparation of banquet quality dishes for their Sunday dinners serves as a surrogate for the spoken expression of their familial feelings.
Another theme is the burden of aging. Chef Chu is depicted as having lost his "one true love" (his wife), losing another (his ability to taste) and about to lose all three daughters to marriage, not to mention the usual spectre of old age.

There has been a lot of excitement about Windows 8 and justifiably so. It is a major shift in not just Windows but in operating systems in general. Here are a few things that I have discovered in the great Treasure Hunt in the land of Windows 8:
- No more "Start Menu" at least as we use today. It is all about the tiles here (And I am not seeing a way to pin program to the tile menu)
- No native .net 1.1, .net 2.0, or .net 3.0, support. It can be installed when first used (via Windows Update)
- Microsoft is bringing back the Resource Monitor with some more usability improvements (it changed in Windows 7, Windows Vista had it better and they are going back to that style)
- Task Manager has had a serious overhaul and now shows startup items that are causing startup delays (much like IE9 does with add-ons)
- Task Manager now allows for applications to be started with Admin rights
- From the installation disk you can now perform Repair Installations of Windows without booting into Windows. You can also repair Windows 7 from here (it will prompt for a Windows 7 disk).
- Alt Key – No longer functions to bring up the old File Toolbar Menu at the top in Explorer.
- Clicking and dragging from the left side of the screen to the right will pull up other currently running applications.
- Right Clicking on application tiles will let you uninstall the program
- Bring the mouse to the bottom left brings up the Start Button (which brings you to the tiles page)
- Pushing the Start button on the keyboard will cycle through currently opened program and the start tiles
- Right Clicking within open applications brings up a menu at the bottom of the screen for application options.
- The OS version (according to Explorer) is 6.2 (Windows 7 is 6.1, and Vista is 6.0)
- Enable/Disable 16-Bit Application Support in the full control panel menu (in the breadcrumb bar select the arrow next to control panel, then all items)
Overall so far I am seeing a lot of changes to Windows 8. This is most definitely not a Vista to 7 type upgrade with just a prettier taskbar. It is like the shift from Windows 2000 to Windows XP where much of the underlying operating system is the same but everything looks and works very differently.
In browsing the registry I am also seeing a major shift in the way that applications are starting up within Windows 8. Some startup categories have been eliminated altogether and other keys are completely rearranged. Also interesting is that some capitalization mistakes have been fixed within the registry (yes some of us notice these things).
One of the most welcome changes that I am personally enjoying is the changes that have been made to Task Manager. It is now much easier to manage startup items and even more importantly, see which startup items are causing a problem. Just check out these screenshots and you can see the differences right away…
Turn on the old startup menu and disable the ribbons..
Open Regedit.exe, navigate to the following key
Then change value of RPEnabled from "1" to "0"
From the comments:
JairJy: To pin a program to the Metro Menu, press Ctrl+Q and then click on the Apps section. A lot of programs should appear, right click on one and select "Pin".

In the times of arranged marriages, often the best women were taken by wealthy, but not always good, men. Its interesting that the same kind of mismatched marriages often happen today, when we marry by choice.
The future king David camped near Nabals land. He was in need of food so he sent ten of his men to ask Nabals assistance. David and his men had been kind and protected Nabals shepherds in the past and relied on Nabal to return the favor. However, after bringing greetings from David, the men were turned away with nothing but insults ringing in their ears. Nabal went back to his festivities unaware that he had just angered a mighty warrior in charge of 600 fighting men. David was a good man who could sometimes act recklessly when he was provoked. In his anger he set off with 400 of his men, intent on killing Nabal and every man who worked for him.
When Nabals servants heard of Davids plan, they ran first to Abigail, probably having watched her repair her husbands blunders before. Abigail took immediate action and went out to meet David with gifts of food and persuasion. Undeterred by the army armed for attack, she humbly, reminded David of his great destiny and what a burden it would be to shed blood needlessly. This godly woman was respectful and straight-forward in her approach and she won his favor without making use of her beauty and feminine charms.
After having single-handedly turned back an avenging army, Abigail returned home to find her husband blissfully unaware and very drunk. Im sure she was the one to become angry this time, but she calmly waited until morning to tell a sober Nabal what had almost become of him. The shock must have been too much for him, because he suffered a heart attack and ten days later he died.
This story has a happy ending. When David heard of Nabals death, he praised God for keeping him from revenge and he remembered the woman who was so wise in handling his anger.
Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.
Abigail knew that
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1
David found out that
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. Proverbs 15:3
Read about Abigail in 1Samuel chapter 25.
Something to think about:
- Whether you are married or unmarried, what character traits in a spouse are important to you? Financial success? Power? Goodness? Godly judgment?
- When faced with an avenging army or an angry coworker, are you likely to turn away in fear, react with similar anger, or to stand your ground and use humility and wise judgment in reasoning with them?

TONIGHT at the government complex of Lusaka, five youths will be battling it out to be crowned the first winner of the first ever Zambian music reality show, Dreams.
Months have passed and the executive director of the show Luckie Chiyowele, can only say: "we are proud that we have come this far and that the 28 of December will be written in someone's history as it will be a day of life transformation trough the much-liked realty show Dreams,"
The highly contested show saw the final cut down of participants to five last Sunday, declaring the final voting line for the ultimate winner open.
Though the grand finale date and town has coincidentally clashed with that of one of the world acclaimed musician Koffi Olomide who takes to the Zambian stage on the tonight as well at Pamodzi Hotel, Lakie has maintained faith in his local enthusiasts who have followed the show religiously.
"It would not make any sense having followed the show for months and missing its grand finale, I am very sure we will have a very good attendance" he says.
Tonight Zambia will see who walks away with the life changing 250 million kwacha worth of prizes. Is it Natasha, Blake, Zillah, Trinah or Shadreck?
According to Zamtel entertainment analysis, the prize is very much tied between two girls, the diminutive, Natasha who has proved to be extremely and excitingly versatile in her acts and Trinalh who has competed and trained on a continental level before and came out third.
The two just seem to possess extra energy above their fellow competitors though critically analysing the show; Natasha seems the favourite to lift the crown tonight.
Now, still enjoying the warmth of her bed a day after Christmas minutes past 10:00 hours, the full of life show host Lulu could not hide her excitement about this day (Grand finale) as she would say:
"I am excited... I can't wait to see who Zambia has chosen to walk away with the prestigious life changing prize! I believe that Zambians will come in numbers to support these budding and amazing youngsters it's been a sweet journey and I can't also wait for Dreams season two."
Anyway, exciting indeed taking an interview from the comfort and warmth of your bed! Well that's it but as for tonight, it's GAME ON!

Midwest Living Review
This is a town in transition, as it slowly moves from its Italian roots and creates a niche as a dining and shopping destination. While Highwood will probably never rival its neighbor Highland Park, this small village of just 5,800 boasts a cute downtown district of about four blocks with a handful of stores selling women's clothing, antiques, consignment designer labels and baked goods. But its rising reputation is built mainly on restaurants, which include French (Froggy's French Cafe, Miramar), Indian (Curry Hut), Irish (Bridie McKenna's), Mexican (La Casa de Isaac), nouveau American (Sage Grille) and, of course, Italian (Gabriel's, Bertucci's Italian Steakhouse, Nite 'N Gale). If you have time, take a run by the Highwood Bocce Club, one of only a few such venues in the country. While you have to be a member to play, knock on the door and see if they'll let you in because it's just as fun to watch.

Educational Condition
North Dakota ranks as one of the top 20 states with a significant enrollment of Native American student populations in the country with 10, 734 students enrolled in BIA, Tribal, and Public schools in the state. Native American students constitute approximately 8.9% of the total North Dakota enrolled student population. By ethnicity, Native American comprise the second largest group of students in North Dakota.
For many of these students, the dominant culture of the public school is incompatible with their own cultures and languages. There are differences in distinct and various ways of acquiring knowledge, forms of communication, familial structures, and sociological, cultural, and linguistic modes learning of Native learners, that can cause problems for Native American students in the school environment.
Socio-economic issues also complicate the learning environment as well. The consequences of these issues are realized by low achievement scores, high dropout and transfer rates. For example, the 1999 dropout rate for Native American students statewide was 42.2 percent. The economic conditions of many Native communities reveal high incidences of poverty, unemployment, and health problems for Native children and their families. Many native families move to the urban settings for employment and economic reasons.
As a matter of policy and practice, the term Native is used to endorse preference by the indigenous tribal peoples of the state, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, the Dakota and Lakota, the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara (Sahnish) tribal peoples in the use of their tribal names. Therefore, while the term Indian is a federal designation, the term Native learner refers to the children of the North Dakota tribal peoples, and to the federal designation of Indian.
As defined by federal law, the term Indian is an individual who is:
