Top Gear Speed Week: the super saloons
Nissan GT-R Track Pack, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series and BMW M5 kill tyres with POWEEEEER
Posted: 29 Aug 2012
The C63 Black. Oh, the C63. This car isn't just the best Mercedes Black Series yet, but the finest thing to come out of Germany since Eva Padberg. It's short, it's wide, it's insanely powerful and it has a NASA-spec g-force screen. And a huge wing. And holes in the bonnet. If this car doesn't make your inner seven-year-old bounce off the walls with glee, your soul is officially deceased.
The only fly in the C63's wingy ointment is its slow-witted seven-speed semi-auto 'box, which clings onto gears just a quarter of a second too long, sending you clattering into the rev-limiter with a machine-gun tak-tak-tak.

"The Piano in Spain" by Ana Benavides. This beautiful book covers the history of the piano in Spain from its introduction to the time of Joaquín Turina. It contains a wealth of information, color images, & music examples. Available in the US from NSM.
Now available from NSM are two new transcriptions of Edward Elgar's beautiful, melodic "Chanson de Matin" (Op.15, No.2), one for flute & piano and one for alto flute & piano (http://bit.ly/1Jqu3pF).
Robert Schumann's "Fünf Stücke im Volkston" were written for cello and piano. Clara Schumann thought them beguiling, fresh, & original. Already arranged for other instruments, and popular for good reason, "Five Pieces" is now available for alto flute.

9. Steve McClaren
Since taking charge of the team when they were 3-0 down at half-time to Ipswich and masterminding a 4-4 draw, McClaren has been a breath of fresh air at Derby.
Sitting fourth in the table the Rams now have a decent chance of winning automatic promotion.
Should he achieve promotion with Derby, McClaren will have gone a long way to rehabilitating his managerial reputation. The LMA ranks him as the ninth best manager of the season so far.

Template:Tempest Keep Template:Mobbox Wrath-Scryer Soccothrates is a Wrathguard, and the second boss of The Arcatraz in Tempest Keep. Can also be done after Dalliah the Doomsayer which is advisable because if you are very, very unlucky you might get kicked into her.
General information
- Level (Normal): 72 (Elite)
- Level (Heroic): 72 (Elite)
- Hit Points: 170k
- Location: Second or third boss encounter in The Arcatraz
- Type: Demon
- Map Location
Attacks and abilities
- Fel Immolation: Roughly 425 damage per 3 sec. Only affects melee range.
- Charge and Flamewave: Will knock back everyone in melee range, then charges (Charge) a random party member leaving behind a wall of fire (Flamewave) which deals about 2000 dmg a second so move out of it and spread out.
- Felfire Shock: Does a flame shock which does about 2000 damage on hit and ticks afterward for fire damage. Can be cleansed.
- Be sure the room doesn't have any invisible demons left such as succubi (there are usually two) before you pull either Dalliah the Doomsayer or Wrath-Scryer Soccothrates. Warlocks can use Detect Invisibility on party to see these demons, or Mages can cast Invisibility on themselves to pull the demons. A Hunter's Flare will also reveal these units, but is somewhat less useful unless you already know where the Succubi are hiding.
- All attack, cleanse the Flame Shock he randomly puts on a party member, and avoid the fire left from his charge; spread out.
- Use some fire resist gear for the melee characters.
- Shortly before the knockback->charge->flame wave comes he gets a buff labeled Knock Away, it is visible via detect magic but can also be detected with addons like SpellAlert, giving you a slight warning beforehand.
- It is advisable not to stand behind each other but rather next to each other in a kind of half-circle because if you stand in front of somebody and he charges at this somebody you will inevitably stand in his Flame Wake.
- Knockback and charge does not drop aggro generated.
- Soccothrates' Felfire Shock is more powerful now- it does slightly more damage and is not cleansable.
- His Fel Immolation aura deals more damage (approx. 500 per tick)
- Felfire trail from his charge ticks for 2400 more than once per second.
- Prayer of Mending is a highly effective spell for healing melee dps, as it will bounce rapidly due to the aura.
- When he yells "On guard!" or "Defend yourself, for all the good it will do..." the party must stop dps and begin to run around to avoid the imminent charge. The boss will charge to one of the positions where people stood when he yelled, so if everybody is running around no one will be hit by his charge.
- Note: Sometimes he will charge the MT after the knockback. If the MT is still up against the wall when this happens, the MT wil be bathed in the Flamewake, and will die.
- On Aggro: "At last, a target for my frustrations!"
- Preparing to charge: "On guard!" OR "Defend yourself, for all the good it will do..."
- When a player dies: "Yes, that was quite satisfying."
- On Death: "Knew this was... the only way out."
If you attack Dalliah first:
- Upon aggroing Dalliah: "Have you come to kill Dalliah? Can I watch?"
- When Dalliah drops to 25% health: "Facing difficulties, Dalliah? How nice." OR "I suggest a new strategy, you draw the attackers while I gather reinforcements. Hahaha!"
- When Dalliah dies: "Finally! Well done!"
Dalliah and Soccothrates are arguing when the party of players enter the room:
- Soccothrates: "Did you call on me?"
- Dalliah: "Why would I call on you?"
- Soccothrates: "To do your heavy lifting now, I should expect."
- Dalliah: "When I need someone to prance around like an overstuffed peacock, I'll call on you."
- Soccothrates: "Then I commit myself to ignoring you."
- Dalliah: "What do YOU know about commitment, sheet-sah?"
- Soccothrates: "You are the one who should be-- Wait: we have company."

Shyam Benegal" src="http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/shyam_benegal_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5">Making a good movie on one of the greatest faiths in the world is a Herculean task. At the press conference of his forthcoming film "Gautam Buddha", acclaimed film-maker Shyam Benegal explained why he took up the challenge.
That Buddhism is followed by over a billion people was one of the main reasons Benegal chose the peacemaker of 2600 BC as his hero. The values of compassion and humanity that Buddhism preaches have ensured its spread over the ages.
But what fascinated Benegal the most was the "evolution from Siddharth to Buddha". "It's a magnificent story to tell," reasoned the film-maker.
Besides, the subject, Benegal feels, is also relevant to the world we are living in today – with incidents of terrorism, bombings and kidnappings every other day. There is a pressing need to bring to life a peacemaker of the past, if not in real life, at least on reel.
The backdrop of a past era has made it even more interesting for Benegal to bring the ancient story on screen. At the same time, Benegal insisted that the film is "by no means a religious story", with more stress on "the way you live and conduct yourself in life".
Benegal feels Buddha's character is also meant to inspire people as he faced innumerable hurdles during his transformation from Siddharth to Buddha. "His life itself is a message," said Benegal.

Harare — CHIHOO, a Muchongoyo dance group, which rocked shows in the 80s is now a pale shadow of itself.
The group was a common feature at almost every state function such as Independence Day celebrations, Heroes Day and Workers Day but now it is hardly known.
Chihoo a Shona word that describes zero tillage aptly sums up the operations of the group. Many of its members had no experience in dance when the group started.
The director of the group Enos Simango who is now in his 60s says he has seen it all and wants to develop and groom young dancers.
"As a director I feel I should give the young dancers a chance to do their own thing but without the financial support we are unable to do so," said Simango.
He said it was high time he took a back seat concentrate on the development of the dance to other parts of the country outside Chipinge area.
"As part of my contribution to the community I wish to take the dance to other parts of the country as well as form a Muchongoyo Dance Association," he said.
Talkmore Simango, his son, has taken over the reigns from him before the old man bows out.
Muchongoyo is a cultural dance that involves a lot of energy and stamina but on the whole demands creativity and innovation.
The stamina comes into play, as the dancer has to contend with the high speed and routine somersaulting that makes the dance different from Jerusarema and Mbakumba.
Although Jerusalem and Mbakumba have been popularised across the country the same cannot be said of Muchongoyo dance as Simango pointed out.
"There is need to nationalise the dance because it is one of the heritage and a way of separating the men from toddlers.
"It is one of our cultural heritage and like other dances should be appreciated by both the young and old, " he said.
Muchongoyo originates from Chipinge area and the dormitory surroundings such as the Sabi Valley and Mount Selinda and is synonymous with the Ndau people.
There are three types of Muchongoyo which include Muchongoyo Muemeso and that emanates from Chief Mutema's area, Muchongoyo Chingo-mana from Mt Selinda bordering with Mozambique and the Muchongoyo Dhambros a.k.a Tangi from the Sabi Valley region.
Trumpets, drums and whistles are used to cheer the dancers who wear special garments called Choba on shoulders and knees and short kilts around their waists.
Not only is Muchongoyo an entertaining jive but it was also used to measure the manhood of youths at chiefs' installation ceremonies.
And when there is a special appeasement ceremony, the dancers might go into a trance just like other traditional dances such as Mhande and Ngororombe.
With his undying love for the Muchongoyo, Simango is appealing to well wishers to sponsor his group to take Muchongoyo dance to greater heights.
He can be contacted on House number 612131 Glen Norah.

To meet those needs, Doctors Care offers 4 Core Services including: Doctors Care Clinic, providing quality, affordable sick and well-care visits to children and young adults age 35 and under; Access for the Uninsured (formerly Sliding-Fee-Scale) helps connect low-income, uninsured individuals to affordable treatment for medical needs through a network of providers that bill on a sliding-fee-scale; Connection to Coverage helps individuals apply for Medicaid and subsidized insurance plans through the Connect for Health Colorado online marketplace; Patient Health Navigation services help individuals identify and overcome barriers to accessing health care. Health navigators help clients understand their insurance coverage, get connected to social services, or overcome other barriers to accessing care.
Why We Are Here
Getting care to uninsured and medically underserved Coloradans presents a difficult challenge for organizations like Doctors Care. We are here to serve our community members in need, to renew their hope in a broken medical system, and to improve their quality of life.
Compassion | Social Responsibility | Inclusiveness | Collaboration
Our Core Fundraising StrategyDoctors Care is a financially efficient and effective organization, driven for over 26 years by a diversified fundraising strategy inclusive of individual, foundation, corporate and faith-based donations. Approximately one-third of the funding is derived from private donations, one-third is generated through income received from Medicaid, CHP and co-pay reimbursements, and one-third is provided by in-kind volunteer support. A $300,000 endowment, established through the Community First Foundation, helps ensure the long-term sustainability of programs for medically vulnerable and uninsured patients.

The May 2010 "flash crash" was bad for almost everyone involved in the stock market, but for the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was a disaster. With $1 trillion in shareholder equity wiped out in a matter of minutes – however temporarily – alarmed investors demanded answers.
Embarrassingly, the heads of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market got into a spat on television, blaming each other for the mess, and the SEC realized that it didn't have the information to explain what caused the scariest few minutes in recent Wall Street history.
The regulators had to seek the data from the exchanges, delaying a much-anticipated report on the crash by nearly five months. The unwelcome lapse in oversight laid bare the SEC's limited ability to track the inner workings of the marketplace when it matters most.
"The idea that the regulator of the largest capital markets in the world cannot easily reconstruct trading when there has been a problem, or when there is a suspicion of manipulation or misconduct, is not acceptable to me," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro in an interview. "We have to have this capacity."
The unwelcome lapse in oversight laid bare the SEC's
limited ability to track the inner workings of
the marketplace when it matters most.
In response to the crash, Schapiro has ordered an SEC crackdown on the exchanges – the front-line for fighting structural flaws and abusive trading in equity markets – in order to oversee more actively a marketplace whose complexity masks serious risks for investors.
The crackdown has come in the form of enforcement actions and gag orders against exchanges. Regulators are moving ahead with a plan to put together a record of all market activity to better oversee trading, a massive undertaking given the volume and rapid-fire pace. Some say the SEC is pushing hard for high-profile actions to burnish its image after the flash crash and its failure to spot Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
It all points to a bigger government role. Regulators are now seeking a better grasp of high-tech markets that were allowed to fragment and proliferate over the last decade in the name of competition and lower costs. The SEC's actions suggest, at a minimum, that regulators believe the exchanges have not always honored their commitment to maintain stable markets.
Schapiro said the SEC's move to police the market more effectively was driven by the rise in computer-driven algorithmic trading as the dominant force in trading and the need to fully enlist the exchanges, which are self-regulatory organizations (SROs).
"We need to have very careful, thorough and rigorous oversight of SROs if we are going to rely on them to do front-line surveillance," Schapiro told Reuters. Given the lack of resources at the SEC and the explosion in trading, the SROs need to be "truly vigilant," she said.
The market absorbs hundreds of thousands of quotes every second in a frenzy that can befuddle investors and traders alike. While perhaps good for exchanges and high-frequency traders, the value of this explosive growth has been questioned.

You know those mornings when you feel like you're consistently behind the eight ball? You know, the type of morning when you go to grab a cup of coffee only to find that you forgot to turn on the coffee machine in the first place? Most mornings, that's pretty much the norm for me. One morning last week, however, I outdid myself. I pulled a doozy of a Claire Dunphy. If you're not familiar with whom Claire Dunphy might be, please see my earlier post, I Pulled a Claire Dunphy… Have You?, from May 2011.
Wednesday morning started out no different than any other morning. I dragged my sorry butt out of bed after hitting the snooze button one too many times, took a hot shower, blow dried my hair, and put on my makeup.
Next, I woke up the kids, got them dressed, washed their faces, helped them brush their teeth, and sent them downstairs for breakfast. I popped bagels in the toaster for everyone and tended to the dog.
After serving breakfast, I started preparing the kids' food for the day and packing their lunch boxes… I could go on but I won't bore you with the particulars of my morning routine. Needless to say, the shorter I grew on time, the faster I tried to get things done, the more forgetful I became as time marched on.
As I shoved the last lunch box into the appropriate backpack, I took stock of time for what might have been the bazillionth time.
"Kids!" I bellowed like I always do at 8:25 a.m. "Five minutes until we have to leave the house! Go to the washroom, wash your hands, brush your hair, and get your stuff on!"
I glanced down at myself and remembered that I was still wearing my PJs.
A little secret I'd like to share: I tend to keep my PJ top on and throw on a pair of jeans or yoga pants to walk the kids to school. No one is the wiser since I wear a jacket to hide the PJ top. It doesn't make sense to dress for work yet when I have to walk the kids to school during these dog days of winter.
"Four minutes left!" I yelled as I raced up the staircase, down the hallway, and into my bedroom to change out of my PJ bottoms.
"Three minutes!" I hollered as I exited my bedroom and dashed down the hallway to get to the stairs.
I sucked in my breath (these morning routines are tiring!), and began my descent down the staircase like a mad woman.
About three stairs down, I noticed a cool draft on my legs. I stopped dead in my tracks. The kids, all bundled up, were staring up at me, wide-eyed, from the bottom of the stairs. No one said a word.
I glanced down at my legs and gasped. My legs were completely bare. Even my toes were naked. I had changed out of my PJ bottoms and had forgotten to put on my jeans or yoga pants. Talk about coasting on autopilot!
So there you have it… Yet another shining Claire Dunphy moment for me!
Have you ever had a Claire Dunphy moment? I'd love to hear about it.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsCar Reviews
Ford Mustang Mach 1, Bullitt, and Cobra Comparison - Team Players
We See How Team Mustang's Mach 1 And Bullitt Stack Up To Each-And Their Older, Naturally Aspirated Cobra Cousins
Horse Sense:
Two-Valve and Four-Valve are common Mustang terms and provide a clear definition between regular and premium 'Stangs. But get ready to add Three-Valves to the mix. When the '05 Mustang arrives, the GT will sport a 300hp Three-Valve modular engine, similar to what's under the hood of the '04 F-150 pickup.The Mach 1 was the fastest of the three to launchThe overachiever of the bunch is clearly the BullittWho'd have thought a Cobra was slower than a Bullitt?The Mach pulled the Bullitt by at least a car length, and that was that
Since our first spin of the tires, we've been saying the new Mach 1 is a special sort of Mustang, and on performance alone, it is. But considered in a wider view, the Mach 1, with its unique combination of naturally aspirated Four-Valve modular V-8 and live rear axle, represents a maturation of the modular engine. Once strictly the special treat of the SVT elite, the Four-Valve V-8 in the Mach 1 has moved mainstream, into the thick of enthu-siast action. Clearly when considering the modular engine family and the modern Mustangs it powers, we now have quite a choice in power, chassis specification, and vehicle intent-enough so it's high time to sort out the players.
So here we are sorting the Mach 1 with the still-new but already-out-of-production Two-Valve Bullitt, and a representative of the naturally aspirated Four-Valve SVT Cobra crowd. In our case, it was a '99 Cobra-more importantly, it was not the current '03 Cobra with its Roots supercharger. Exciting as the new Cobra is, we deemed it too expensive and clearly in another performance league to include in this examination.
The threesome tested represents an interesting mixture of late-model Mustang performance. The Cobra has a Four-Valve engine rated at 320 hp at 6,200 rpm, while the Mach 1's Four-Valve achieves 305 hp at 5,800 rpm. The Bullitt Two-Valve also uses the iron modular block, but it has smaller, lighter Two-Valve heads for the lowest center of gravity even if it's a bit heavier on overall engine weight. The Bullitt makes 265 hp at 5,000 rpm.
Torque is also an interesting com-parison. The Cobra is built to rev and makes 317 lb-ft of torque at a relatively high 4,750 rpm. A quick trip around the block shows the Mach 1 has inherited the Four-Valve's rev-gene, but cam and intake tuning produce 320 lb-ft of torque at a lower 4,200 rpm. The Bullitt, of course, doesn't pretend to rev like its Four-Valve cousins, but it does muscle its way in with 305 lb-ft of torque at a streetable 4,000 rpm.
All three cars use the identical PBR-based 13.1-inch front brake package, and the Mach and Bullitt wore the same-style Goodyear Eagle ZR45 tires.
Gathering the cars took some effort. The Mach 1 was as easy as a call to Ford Public Affairs, but the Bullitt and Cobra are not current production cars and thus are extinct in Ford's media fleet. Hunting around, we ended as usual being helped by old friends. Miles Cook, who worked with us at Super Ford and is now the technical editor at our sister publication Mustang Monthly, was eager to pit his personal Bullitt against the Cobra and Mach. Miles had not quite 16,000 miles on his blue Bullitt and was still enjoying it in dead-stock form, so it was a shoe-in to represent the Two-Valve crowd.
The Cobra was a bit more difficult. We really wanted one of the relatively rare '01 cars, one built after "the fix," still totally stock and belonging to an owner willing to have his pride-and-joy rung to the max on the test track. Yeah, right. But BBK had a '99 Cobra on hand with what turned out to be only three modifications: a shifter, BBK springs, and a cold-air kit. The shifter would not be a meaningful performance issue, the cold-air kit we weren't sure of, and the springs would definitely show up in the handling portion. On the other hand, the car was sporting a new warranty engine-the original had split a gizzard-so its power output would be like a fresh Cobra.
The Cobra had one other change definitely worth mentioning-BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires replaced the stock Goodyear Eagles. Still in 245/45ZR-17 size, the Goodrich tires are definitely performance tires, although not track-biased ringers with a treadwear rating of 100 or so. Going the other way, these tires looked to be in good shape, if a bit dried out. Call them middle-aged.

Home Sittingbourne News Article
A compulsive gambler swindled clients out of more than £750,000 by luring them in with offers of meeting Formula 1 stars, football players and even the chance to stay on a super-yacht owned by motorsport tycoon Eddie Jordan.
James Maxwell, who has now been jailed for more than three years, even told investors his young son had been diagnosed with cancer in a bid to con them into parting with their cash.
Maxwell, 41, ran three Sittingbourne-based sports memorabilia and hospitality companies.
But, as the fraud spiralled, he began to spin a staggering web of lies in order to persuade wealthy clients and charities to hand over cash.
The businessman, formerly of Leigh Road, Sittingbourne, was involved with three businesses selling sports memorabilia in the town - The Autograph Store in High Street, Sports Idols on St George's Business Park, and Premier Signings and Hospitality Ltd, registered at Velum Drive. None of the three businesses is still going.
One way he managed to get hold of clients' cash was, from 2009, asking them to transfer cash into his business account - but given his own personal bank details
He also claimed to be one of his colleagues, without their knowledge, and made up other aliases to protect his own reputation and convince clients they were dealing with a larger company.
Maxwell, who moved to Horsham in Sussex, had set up another company, Premier Signings and Hospitality, in early 2011.
He auctioned off a multitude of packages at charity auctions and other events for some of the most famous sports events in the world, including the Monaco and British Grands Prix.
He lured customers into handing over tens of thousands of pounds for dream encounters with sports stars including Formula One drivers and football players, and accommodation on a super-yacht owned by motorsport tycoon Eddie Jordan.
Maxwell claimed he could offer them at cost price because he had 'connections' with the celebrities, telling them: "It's not what you know in this business, it's who."
However, Maxwell had never met any of the famous people he was offering as part of the deals.
He offered these packages - including flights and accommodation at five-star hotels or yachts - at incredible knock-down prices.
Many would then be told days before that the yacht had been double-booked or the deal had been cancelled, only for Maxwell to promise to invest their money into another package, which never materialised.
As clients grew suspicious they began to do their own research. They then found the incredible deal they had signed up for would cost so much more in real life than the prices Maxwell was offering were completely unrealistic.
When challenged, Maxwell would recite a litany of lies, claiming over and over again to a number of different people at different times that his father had just died.
He also claimed to have been diagnosed with testicular cancer and told one client he was struggling to keep his finances straight as his young son had just been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer.
He would promise refunds and repeatedly insist he had made bank transfers, which investigators later proved never left his account, or write cheques for huge amounts that would immediately bounce.
Maxwell also defrauded investors in a Spanish property scheme and began offering clients cut-price luxury package holidays to New York and St Lucia, leaving them puzzled and furious when they discovered he had never so much as booked them on a single flight after taking their money.
Officers from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate spent months following Maxwell's messy paper trail and analysing financial accounts to find he used most of the vast sums of money given to him in good faith on gambling, sometimes spending up to thousands of pounds in a single day.
He also paid out on a number of luxury holidays for his family.
On January 14 last year, Maxwell was charged with 17 counts of fraudulent activity.
He later pleaded guilty to 17 fraud charges, with 37 other offences taken into account.
Now he has been jailed at Maidstone Crown Court to three years and four months, and also disqualified from holding any Limited company position for 10 years.
Investigating officer, DC Steve Payne from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "This was a huge investigation into what turned out to be a staggering web of lies spun by Maxwell in a desperate attempt to keep his gambling habit afloat.
"He betrayed dozens of people with his fraud when it emerged the deals he was offering were simply too good to be true.
"This was a huge investigation into what turned out to be a staggering web of lies spun by Maxwell in a desperate attempt to keep his gambling habit afloat" - DC Steve Payne
"He was also a traitor to his clients, whom he manipulated into loaning him money and investing in the businesses he was involved with as silent partners.
"Maxwell preyed on people's hopes and dreams.
"He would offer dazzling hospitality packages, promising this, that and the other, to sports fans willing to pay vast sums of money to meet their heroes and watch these huge sports events in the lap of luxury.
"None of these packages ever materialised. His victims were left confused and embarrassed, but more than that, they were left out of pocket after promising their hard-earned cash to this swindler."
He said Maxwell's account went from "dizzying highs" to lows in just days as he would take his clients' cash and gamble it away.

EMU is a radio sky survey project which will use the new ASKAP telescope to make a deep (~10µJy rms) radio continuum survey covering the entire Southern Sky (perhaps as far North as 30°. It can be characterised as a "Southern NVSS", except that it will have about 40 times the sensitivity of the NVSS. As a result, it will be able to probe star forming galaxies up to z=1, AGNs to the edge of the Universe, and will undoubtedly uncover new classes of object.
The project was one of thirty-odd competing to use ASKAP. Expressions of Interest were solicited in November 2008, with a deadline in December 2008, and full proposals were solicited in mid-2009. At the end of this process, ten proposals were selected, with EMU being ranked equal top with WALLABY. As a result, the EMU Project Team have been invited to play a significant role in ensuring that ASKAP is built and operated to maximise the science return, and ATNF is providing support to EMU to make that happen.
Potential participants are invited to join the team, and will then have the opportunity to participate in designing the parameters and processes of the survey, and participate in the commissioning and quality control.
All radio data from the survey will be placed in the public domain as soon the data quality has been checked. An integral part of the proposed project will be to perform identifications with other wavelengths, and produce catalogs of these and other "added-value" data products
About the banner above: The banner is a representation of the "emu in the sky", which is an important dreaming-spirit of the Aboriginal traditional owners of the land on which ASKAP will be built.

The supernova remnant W50 has been dubbed the Giant Manatee Nebula based on a new shot of the cloud from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).
W50 formed when a large star exploded about 20,000 years ago in the constellation of Aquila, 18,000 light-years away, leaving a massive bubble of dust and gas swirling in a disk, probably around a black hole.
The formation's magnetic field lines trap charged particles from the disk, ejecting them in jets moving at almost light-speed. This system radiates radio waves and X-rays, and is called the SS 433 microquasar.
The jets have created bulges in the W50 bubble and, like a wobbly spinning top, form corkscrew patterns across the bulges.
W50 was named in 1958 by Dutch astronomer Gart Westerhout as it was the 50th radio source listed in the Westerhout Catalog.
Heidi Winter at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory noticed that the cloud resembles the endangered Florida Manatee. Winter suggested the nickname as W50 looks like a sea cow in a typical pose, resting on its back with its flippers crossed over its belly.
These gentle creatures are vulnerable to injuries from boat propellers, often ending up with deep curved scars like the arcs made by the powerful jets in W50.

Subject: Christmas Aid Appeal
Ladies and Gents
After our short trip back to Zimbabwe(in early Decemeber) it became very clear that we need to try and source some kind of funds to
help the Aged
(i.e. those in Coronation Cottages etc),
the Disabled
(those being taken care of at home or those in homes) and
the poor animals at the SPCA.
Just to illustrate our point - Whilst visiting an elderly Aunt at Coronation Cottages they received some mail. This turned out to be a letter advising them of an increase in their rent, from Z$10 000 to Z$20 000 (realistically UKŁ1 to UKŁ2) per month. Now as it is, most of these people have families or friends who are paying their rents, and they live off their pensions (which for some of them is about Z$8 000 per month - and a loaf of bread is currently Z$3 000). What we heard next was totally surreal!!! Apparently this has happened before!!! What some of the folk may do is take an extra dose of sleeping tablets - so as not to have to wake up again!!!
Now whether this is a dose of senility or actually happens I think there is possibly some truth in it and points out how much difference a meer pound (Ł1) will make!
To this end instead of asking for money I was put onto a better idea! Seeing as mobile phones are generally very expensive in Zimbabwe this may be a way to raise funds and I am hoping that
you will scratch around at home and send me your old mobile phones
here in London (most contracts allow you a free upgrade every 12 months in the UK). I will then endeavour to get these into Zimbabwe and subsequently sell them (and if anyone has any ideas on how to speedily accomplish these 2 tasks please let me know).
With the accumulated funds we hope to help pay the rents, medical bills and food bills of these poor people and aid the situation of the animals at SPCA. I shall also continuously update anyone involved on what costs have been incurred, where the money has been used and especially who or what we have helped.
Please feel free to try and ask any of your other work mates if you feel that this is a good idea!!!
To contact me please use this email address
, or phone me on (+UK) 07950 203 607.
Many thanks for your help.

Please also take a look at this site -
S.O.A.P - Save Old Age Pensioners
if you are willing/able to help!
April 10th 2004
a team of volunteer runners from Bulawayo will be
running the 2 Oceans race
on our behalf in an effort to raise money to replace two of the Hospice cars which are becoming increasingly unroadworthy. These amazing people have already begun getting sponsorship this end but what we need now is to boost the Cape Town end too if we are to achieve our target.
Thanks to Sue Kaufman and Tony and Merle Weissenbacher ( of Brookes fame) who now run the Peace River Trading Store at Greenpoint, we have begun to ask the many people now living in the Cape who either grew up here, have relatives and friends still living here or simply want to help our cause....so many people do express through prayer and messages their continuing support of our battle to keep going....to either give a donation or sponsor one of the runners participating.
The names of the runners are ;
Charlie Trollope (x-11th Riverside Scout), Pete Tipler (x-8th Hillside Scout),
Sean Day, Andre Zietsman, Trev Thompson, Ann Walder,Sharon Stead, Phil Stead, Cedric Wilder, Kieron Walsh, Lori Reynolds, Cedric Van Der Horne, Bridget from Gweru and Cliff Fourie.
So what can you do?
Ask your Cape Town e-mail friend to contact Sue Kaufman 4397238 and either offer to
help with the organisation or sponsorship;
and also ,of course, go along to the race and give our guys and gals a big cheer. They will be wearing Hospice blue T shirts with our logo at the commencement of the race.And of course they can
pass this message on
to any other Bulawayo sympathisers living in Cape Town too.
18 months ago it was costing us about $250 000 max. per month to keep 4 nurses on the road, supply the drugs, run training sessions and etc. And this amount was raised from the generosity of the people in Bulawayo themselves with Christmas card recycling, bridge drives, cake sales and so forth. This month our costs rose to $ 6.2 million per month to maintain the same standards the public have the right to expect. And you must remember that we serve all of the community...the young as well as the old, all creeds, all races; this is truly an all encompassing, all caring organisation.But we Bulawayo people are all stretched to our limits now, coping with our own economic hardships as well as trying to shore up all the other charities which so desperately need help.
So if you have happy memories of the sunny carefree days you spent growing up in this still beautiful city and you want to join us in our ongoing fight to show the rest of Africa that we still truly care for each other, then please assist us in any way that you can.
Thank you and May God Bless you all.

Chairperson, Bulawayo Island Hospice.

Wilson College students, as well as area high school students and their families, visited the reception of an art exhibition at Wilson College from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thu, Nov 1. The Annual Juried Students Art Exhibition is in the Bogigian Gallery in Lortz Hall from Nov. 1 to Dec. 7, 2012, and is free and open to the public.
Wilson College Department of Fine Arts and Dance is holding the high school exhibition of art for the second time. This art exhibition offers an opportunity for area high school students to exhibit their talent and art work in a juried show, and also reach outto the community.
"I am taking a painting class right now, so I am realizing how much thought and work goes into impressive works of art. It was humbling to see the high school students' hard work, prowess, and creativity at display in the exhibition," said Jyotsna Dhakal '14.
The first exhibition last year had 115 works of art. However, this year's art exhibition has only 17 works of art, chosen out of 60 entries submitted by high school students from Franklin, Adams, Cumberland and Fulton counties in Pennsylvania and Washington County, Md.
"We had fewer entries in current show because this exhibit is earlier in school year than our last show. But the level of sophistication is the same as the first show, they did a good job," said Philip Lindsey, Assoc. Prof of Fine Arts. This year, Kaitlyn Moore, a senior
from Greencastle-Antrim High School, received the first prize for her piece titled Four Seasons, a ceramic vessel made out of clay that has been glazed and fired. According to Lindsey, Four Seasons has a high degree of creativity, demonstrates strong skill in craftsmanship and holds meaning beyond that contained by the object itself. For these reasons, the committee selected Four Seasons as first prize.
"Maybe hundred times better than what I expect. I can see creative and diverse artworks such as paintings, pencil works and photographs. This exhibition becomes aware of artists and their talents. I'm really proud of my friends and other students," said Kayla Fekete, a senior from Biglerville High School.
According to Lindsey, this particular exhibit is only focused on high school students. However, Wilson College hosts numerous exhibitions for professional artists throughout the year.

Lighting Designer Al Gurdon used W-DMX for a special keylight ring built into the Technocrane and cameras in the Green Room to achieve specific lighting effects. The Technocrane ring light was operated by Gurdon himself while the Green Room camera ring lights were operated by Sveinung Solbrekke, Lighting Designer for the Green Room.
Production Manager of Design Ola Melzig said, "There's a very good reason that W-DMX is used for Eurovision - it works. You name it and it's at Eurovision: every kind of wireless and broadcast equipment, moving sets, thousands of fixtures and thousands of people. Wireless DMX is required for some aspect every year and we just won't take a chance with any brand that W-DMX from Wireless Solution."
The show was televised by host broadcaster NRK and held at Telenor Arena located just outside the capital of Oslo. This year hosted 39 countries and 3 interval acts, including the world's largest flash mob dance. Jon Ola Sand was Executive Producer working together with TV Producer Hasse Lindmo. PRG of UK and Germany provided all technical equipment and crew for the show with support from Norwegian supplier Frontlite.
Niclas Arvidsson, CEO of Wireless Solution said, "We have always been very proud to be part of the Eurovision Song Contest. It's regarded as one of the most technically advanced productions around today."

The Office of Dropout Prevention and Student Re-engagement at CDE have specifically selected these recommendations, in conjunction, work to effectively address the combination of reasons students drop out of school. These recommendations are:
- Establishing an early warning system to determine who is at risk of dropping out of school.
- Establishing transition programs in elementary to middle, middle and high school, high school to post secondary grades to provide students additional supports preparing them for the upcoming year.
- Evaluating and changing current policies and practices at the state, district, and school level that may be hindering students from graduating.
- Building family, school, community engagement in an effort to prevent students from dropping out of school.
- Employing a rigorous and relevant curriculum to engage students and facilitate links between curriculum and real life.
- Developing school and teacher leadership (as discussed in rigorous and relevant curriculum section of the guide).
- Developing systems for data collection, tracking of process and results, evaluation and use of evaluation to make adjustments and corrections as applicable (as discussed in early warning system section of the guide).
The advantage of these recommendations:
They encapsulate many of the strategies that your school is employing today – but also gives guidance as to how your current strategies can be combined to provide comprehensive support for students. On the outset, these recommendations may seem like additional work – however, in the remainder of this document you will learn that your school may be employing many strategies and how you can then use what you are already doing as a basis for further development. Together we can address the dropout issue, and ensure that all students have the support and means to complete school successfully and graduate on time!
Don't leave youth voice out!
Students can be extremely helpful in gathering data. Student councils or groups can take part in planning, developing, and conducting a school climate survey. Sometimes it is easier for youth to talk to a peer about their experiences at school than it is to speak with an adult – especially if it is a school administrator. Students can help gather parent voice, as well. Engaging youth in the evaluation and data collection process is an authentic way to work with youth, provides them voice and fosters attachment to the school change efforts.
A Framework of Strategies for Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement
Supports to Address Life Event Issues
(Forces outside of school lead students to dropout, i.e. pregnancy, illness, family stressors)
- Comprehensive social and emotional support for families (mental health services and family therapy)
- Health and wellness programming for students, families and educators
- Flexible scheduling (on-line programming, Saturday school, extended school hours)
Supports for Fade Outs
(Students do adequate in school but stop seeing a reason for staying, lack purpose or connection)
- Peer to peer mentoring
- Adult advocates and mentors
- Transitional academies (fifth to sixth grade, eighth to ninth grade)
- Service learning
- Before and/or after school programs dedicated to credit recovery and real-life career applications
Supports for Push Outs
(Students who are perceived to be detrimental to others in the school)
- Policy reviews that incorporate best practices (tools for reviews have been developed by the Colorado Graduates Initiative)
- School culture surveys/Action plans
- Parenting classes based on parental involvement and family leadership models
- Character education and life skills trainings
Supports for Academic Failure
(Often persisting in school for many years and then dropout because the work is too difficult/too far behind and there is a lack of resources and options)
- Early warning systems to identify students in need of dropout prevention supports (software, training, implementation, support)
- Tutoring
- Parent involvement to support learning at home
- Summer school programs
- Teacher professional development (How do I help struggling students? Differentiated instructional methods, managing student behavior, etc.)
- Strategic supports for Immigrant, Refugee and EL students
Note: Most of the strategies identified address more than one of the factors linked to dropout.

text: Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, 402 U.S. 1 (1971) was an important United States Supreme Court case dealing with the busing of students to promote integration in public schools. After a first trial going to the Board of Education, the Court held that busing was an appropriate remedy for the problem of racial imbalance among schools, even where the imbalance resulted from the selection of students based on geographic proximity to the school rather than from deliberate assignment based on race. This was done to ensure the schools would be "properly" integrated and that all students would receive equal educational opportunities regardless of their race.

Oyster Catcher Rattle
Rattles are shaken by a shaman over an afflicted person's body or left with the patient for protection. This example depicts a long-billed bird called an oyster catcher, thought to be a transformative animal because it lives in the sky yet dives beneath the water for sustenance. Riding on the bird's back is a shaman who is being transformed into a land otter with a long tail terminating in a horned monster face. The bird's webbed feet are carved on the underside of the rattle.
Las maracas son sacudidas por un chamán sobre el cuerpo de la persona enferma o se dejan con el paciente como protección. Este ejemplo muestra un ave de largo pico llamada cazador de ostras, el cual se cree es un animal de transformación ya que vive en el cielo, pero bucea bajo el agua para conseguir alimento. Cabalgando a espaldas del pájaro se ve a un chamán que se transforma en una nutria de cola larga terminada en una cara monstruosa con cuernos. Los pies palmados del ave están tallados al reverso de la maraca.
