ABERDEEN, S.D. – (DRG News) A Winter Weather Advisory is in the forecast for central and east central parts of the state for much of the day today through at least six this evening. Mike Connelly with the National Weather Service in Aberdeen says a system that is moving through could drop up to three inches of snow today. Connelly says the snow will begin to taper off later on today, but more of the white stuff is in the forecast over the weekend.
Connelly says by Sunday, the weather could deteriorate, with winds expected to increase and possibilities of more snow.

Arriving in Australia from Switzerland in 1990, I first developed my interest in Japan and Japanese in my undergraduate degree at La Trobe University, where I completed a double major in history and Japanese. I was able to indulge my fascination with post-war Japanese history in my Honours year, when I studied the Shōwa Emperor's Monologue and wrote a thesis on the manipulation of symbols by Japanese elites and Occupation Forces after the defeat. Thanks to a summer scholarship at the Australian War Memorial, I was further able to develop my interest in war and its place in national memories. I continue to work on research connected with early post-war Japan and the legacies of the war in the Asian region, and these interests are reflected in the specialist units I teach: a history of modern Japan, and a reflection on war and memory in the Asian region.

Charter schools spend less on students, the classroom
Charter schools spend more of their budgets on administrative and maintenance costs instead of in the classroom. Robert Burgess, the former president of the Michigan School Business Officers Association, presented the data from the 2009-10 school year which shows 22.5 percent of charter school budgets is spent on administrative costs while public schools spend 11.5 percent on the same costs.
Burgess estimated that charter schools spend $1,360 per student more than the public schools. In addition to administrative costs, that figure also includes the 14.9 percent of budget spent on school maintenance by charter schools in comparison to the 9.8 percent spent by public schools.
Burgess wants his numbers factored into the discussion of SB 618 which lifts the cap on charter schools.
"If the legislators truly believe in 'best financial practices' and in reducing administrative and non-instructional costs, why are they considering lifting the cap on charter schools?" Burgess asked.

Time to come together…celebrate…be free to love!
Once again, Capital Pride is bringing together the fabulous, the hip and the most happening events to share the universal message of love, diversity and inclusion.
From August 15th to the 24th, Ottawa will come alive with the 29th Pride Festival.
Starting with the glamorous and fun-filled Nature Nocture: Pride launch event on August 15th and ending with the non-stop, dusk-til-dawn Pride Weekend on August 22nd to 24th, this year's Pride will be the place to live, breathe and love your life!
What's new and what's returning by popular (and we mean that we mean record breaking) demand?
• The Pride Parade returns on Sunday, August 24th. Marching straight down Bank Street through the Village, it will be the most festive and sparkling entertainment in the city.
• Once again, the Rainbow Party returns.
• Main Stage event on August 24th will feature Grammy Award winning DJ Hex Hector, DJ Mark Anthony, New York City's favourite blonde bombshell Amanda Lapore and a live performance by Ru Paul Drag Race runner up, Adore Delano.
• Featuring … wait for it….the hugely popular Courtney Act and DJ Stephan Grondin.
• The community will also gather together for special events like our bi-focused 'Bi's and Beers' event, the Human Rights Vigil and Picnic in the Park.
• From the youth branch of Capital Pride, Etcetera, we'll have a week-long calendar of events for youth ages 13 to 18, including a Self-Care Craft Day and Etcetera's signature event, a 'Glow in the Dark Dance Circus' themed Pride Prom.
• But it doesn't end there. New initiatives this year include the 'Free to Learn' GLBT Conference, an International Film Series, and an expansion of our International Marshal Program. We are also excited about this year's launch event 'Nature Nocturne; Pride', an evening of glamour and discovery in partnership with the Canadian Museum of Nature.
• Excited? We are. And as Pride rolls out in what we know will be a record-setting way for Ottawa, we'll be celebrating what Pride is all about: tangible evidence that a better world isn't just possible – it's actually happening all around us.

This course preview outlines the details of this online course. For more information on taking this course, please send an e-mail message to our support staff at firstname.lastname@example.com. UW offices are closed on these holidays.
The aim of this course is to enable you to understand the basic concepts of macroeconomics. While it is not expected that most of you will go on to make decisions of macroeconomic importance, becoming prepared to make such decisions is nevertheless a valuable goal. Too often we are subject to faulty macroeconomic analysis by leaders who mistakenly believe they know what they are doing. Sadly, an ill-informed press and electorate often fail to challenge leaders' assumptions, knowledge, and intentions, and we are lead astray.
It is my hope that this course will enable you to separate reasonable economic analysis from popular hucksterism as you watch the evening news or flip through your favorite periodical. It is my ultimate goal that you will regularly wake up screaming in anger about some bit of particularly faulty analysis thrown forth by an important political figure.
Course Goals and Objectives
By the end of this course you should be able to
This course provides an introduction to macroeconomics. We will be dealing with three major theories to explain macroeconomic growth and decline: the classical "quantity" theory, the Keynesian model and monetarism. (As interesting as its rise and fall may be, this course will not deal with communism.) The classical theory developed in response to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and dates back to the eighteenth century, beginning with the work of Adam Smith. Besides communism, which first developed in the nineteenth century, the classical theory was for a century and a half the predominant explanation of economic phenomena, until the Great Depression. John Maynard Keynes developed his theory at this time in an attempt to explain how the Great Depression came about and hopefully prevent its reoccurrence. Monetarism developed in the 1960s, largely from the work of Milton Friedman.
Despite the title Economics Today: The Macro View, the Miller textbook contains six chapters in the beginning, the first of which serves as an introduction to macroeconomics, while the rest primarily discuss microeconomic principles. While an in-depth knowledge of microeconomics is not essential to the study of macroeconomics, a basic understanding of the subject is critical. For this purpose, the first four lessons in Economics 201 mirror the first four lessons in the University of Washington's Online Learning Economics 200 course. It is my way of ensuring that all students have a basic set of economic tools to use throughout the rest of the macroeconomics course.
Following your brief review of microeconomics in Lessons One through Four, the course continues with a discussion of the basic macroeconomic concepts of inflation, unemployment, business cycles, and long-term economic growth (Lessons Five through Seven). Two simple models are introduced to help you understand how these concepts are interrelated and to help explain how the economy may run smoothly—though we have to bear in mind that these are models based on key assumptions. Some basic macroeconomic problems are then discussed (Lessons Eight through Ten). Thereafter, the discussion turns to considering how the government can influence both short-term and long-term economic conditions, and other effects of government interference in the economy (Lessons Eleven and Twelve). We will finish the course by discussing issues of money, its importance, and how best to control macroeconomic problems through manipulation of the money supply (Lessons Thirteen through Fifteen).
Reviewing the Course
In this course introduction, you will get an overview of the essential steps to completing the course and a detailed overview of the course format. Please take time now to review this information carefully. If, when you have finished reading this introduction, you have questions regarding your participation in the course, please consult the list of contacts at UW Educational Outreach provided in the Online Student Handbook. Both I and the staff at UW Distance Learning are eager to assist you in any way in order to make this course as satisfying and rewarding as possible.
About the Online Environment
Your online course offers several advantages to the traditional classroom, including the comprehensive Online Student Handbook, the ability to communicate electronically with other students and with your instructor, and links to a rich array of UW Library Services.
Online Student Handbook
This handbook answers questions about your online learning course, such as how to purchase your text, schedule an exam, obtain a transcript, and get technical help if you need it. The handbook also provides additional resources, such as how to order books or journals from the library and how to study for an online course.
Communicating with Your Instructor and Student Peers
Course Preview
UW Library Services
As an online student, you have access to a wealth of Web resources compiled to provide fast, easy access to information that supports your online learning experience. Organized by subjects, UW Library Services link you to sites with help for writing and research, study skills, language learning, and library reference materials. All links have been assessed for credibility and reliability, and they are regularly monitored to ensure their usability.
Lesson Format
The course includes fifteen lessons organized into five units. Each lesson has four parts:
Units Three and Seven are preparation exam lessons. They will provide you with guidelines and tips for the exams along with complete practice exams so you can assess your readiness for taking the actual exam.
Course Materials
Required Textbooks
You may choose to purchase either of two sets of textbooks:
Note that you have two options for text choice. Each has the same chapter and page numbering, but the full text also includes chapters pertaining to microeconomics, which are omitted from the Macro versions. If you have copies of the full versions from Econ 200, please feel free to use them. Note that the study guide is not available in a full version; the "Micro View" and "Macro View" must be purchased separately.
Overall, online learning students have responded favorably to the Miller text. I have selected this text because the author centers on the basics of economic theory. Rather than filling the pages with all the theoretical nuances of microeconomics, he has presented the core concepts in a simple fashion. These concepts are illustrated with real-world examples that I hope will interest you and convince you of the relevance and applicability of the material.
The "Quick Quiz" section in each chapter of Miller focuses on the most important ideas of the chapter, and describes how the chapter fits into the overall course. There is also a "What You Should Know" at the end of each Miller chapter, and several helpful summaries and exercises in the Study Guide.
Miller provides a "Did You Know That" at the beginning of each chapter. These insights offer perspective and relevance to the topics discussed in the chapter. The author also offers a section titled "Issues and Applications" based on current economic issues in an attempt to tie the concepts of the chapter into the lives of students.
In addition to providing more depth and breadth, the supplementary texts offer you an alternative presentation of the same material.
I have made the Study Guide a requirement because it provides additional opportunities for you to practice what you will learn in this course.
Recommended Textbooks
The Samuelson text is a classic textbook that may help you to narrow your search or be more selective. Additionally, the Yates text offers an alternative to the neoclassical text used in 98% of undergraduate principles of economics texts. These books may be available from your local library or a new or used bookstore.
Course Organization
The course organization follows that of the textbook, covering chapters 1–4 and 7–17. The material is divided into fifteen lessons, as follows:
Assignments and Exams
There are five written assignments, a midterm, and a final examination, for a total of seven graded course components.
Written Assignments
Each written assignment is worth ten points, and together they constitute 25 percent of your final grade. Points will be assigned on the basis of the accuracy and completeness of your answer. You must show all work, and all graphs must be carefully labeled. Each written assignment consists of five essay questions. Answers to each question should be approximately half a page.
Your midterm examination consists of multiple-choice, true/false, short-answer, and problem sections worth a total of 50 points, representing 25 percent of your grade. Partial credit on some questions is possible, but only if you show all your work and your answers are legible. The format of the final exam is similar to the midterm, except that each section is comprehensive; the exam is worth a total of 100 points, representing 50 percent of the course grade.
You can earn a total of 200 points, distributed as shown in table i.1 below.
Table i.1—Point Distribution
Unit Four includes a practice exam for the midterm, and Unit Seven includes a practice exam for the final. Answer keys for each are provided.
Assignment Submission Guidelines
Each essay question is worth three points.
Graphs and Algebra
Far too often, students get confounded by course material—not because they don't intuitively understand the economic theory, but because they get caught up in the graphs and simple algebra. The graphs we will use in this course are primarily linear (straight lines), but you should also be able to use nonlinear curves. You will be asked to perform some calculations with simple linear functions. This is nothing other than high school math; although a little review may be in order. If you have been away from math for a while, or have a math phobia, an investment of time reviewing these concepts will pay off many times throughout the course. A review of graphing is provided in Appendix A at the end of Chapter 1 of your textbook.
How to Approach Each Lesson
Each lesson begins by assuming you have read the relevant chapter in the textbook and gone through the Study Guide. The first item listed, therefore, is the assigned chapter from the text. You should read the appropriate Miller chapter before working through the rest of these online course materials. The text provides many examples of real problems so you have an opportunity to apply the economic principles being discussed. The text also provides key terms and learning objectives that will help guide your study in this course.
Understanding any discipline requires knowledge of its language. You should learn definitions for all the key terms listed—the key terms in these online course materials are the same as the ones in the textbook. The textbook's key terms are defined in the margins throughout the chapters, listed at the end of each chapter, and re-stated in a glossary at the end of the text. Be aware that although many of the terms, such as efficiency and cost, will seem familiar, they are used in a very precise and specific manner in economic analysis that may differ slightly from your current understanding of the term. I recommend you carefully read and think about each key word, and make sure you are comfortable with its use in economics.
Learning objectives begin each lesson, and brief answers or guidelines to the learning objectives are provided at the end of each lesson. If you write out your understanding of the learning objectives before reading my descriptions, you will see which parts of the material you have grasped and those with which you are still struggling. When you are satisfied that you have a basic understanding of the material covered in the chapter, you are ready to continue.
As you work through each lesson, think about the learning objectives for the content. These online course materials go over in more depth material that I feel is either particularly difficult or often misunderstood. In every course of macroeconomics I have taught the same questions and confusions tend to appear. Some concepts seem particularly problematic. I have tried to anticipate those problems and the most commonly asked questions, and address them in the lessons.
Opportunities to Test Your Understanding
The only way to learn economics is to sit down and put the pencil to the page. Only by actually working out problems will you be able to realistically assess your understanding of the principles.
Therefore, each lesson includes Knowledge Checks as well as problems and questions from the text and the Study Guide.
Knowledge Checks
Throughout the commentary for each lesson, I have added some Knowledge Checks that are more representative of assignment and exam problems than those in the textbook or the Study Guide. Further, these will help you assess whether you are meeting the learning objectives. You should spend some time on these problems, as they will help you to internalize the material. The Knowledge Checks appear near the material from which they arise.
Answers are provided, but they will only help you if you work through each problem before checking your answer. Write down your answers for the questions in each lesson; if you have made a mistake in your reasoning, you can see where you have made it. Keeping a record of your answers will also help you when you are reviewing the material for exams and assignments. If you have difficulty, re-read the relevant sections in the textbook and working through some more problems. Supplementary resources are also suggested, where applicable. Many of these resources can be found on the Internet; use them.
Problems and Questions
Each lesson also directs you to "Problems and Questions" at the end of each chapter in Miller, and most or all of the chapter questions from the Study Guide. You will not submit these questions and problems for grading, but a selection of them will appear on the midterm and final examination. If you don't work them out in advance, you will be at a disadvantage. If you do work them out, however, even if the numbers change, the methodology will be familiar. Write out your answers to these questions, then check your answers. Re-read sections of the Miller chapter if necessary to help you fully understand the answers. Keep your corrected answers in your notebook for review and reference. If you have made any errors, read through the explanation given and review that section once more in Miller. After completing each lesson, go back to any questions you missed in the previous lesson and make sure you can answer before proceeding.
The Study Guide contains five kinds of questions to accompany each chapter of Miller: completion questions, true/false questions, multiple choice, matching, and quantitative problems. A good strategy for the multiple choice and true/false questions is to first thoroughly review the Miller chapter. Then answer the questions in the Study Guide without looking at the text. Before checking your answers against those given, work through the questions a second time, this time verifying your answers by referring directly back to the Miller chapter. This will reinforce your mastery and allow you to discover your errors. Finally, after doing this, check your answers against the ones provided. Answers to the questions from the Study Guide are given at the end of each chapter in that study guide.
Other Opportunities to Test Your Understanding
To increase your learning, work on each chapter's "Issues and Applications" problems and "Questions for Critical Analysis." Although none of these are required, more practice is always better for your understanding of economics. You should make certain that you are confident of your ability to answer these questions.
How to Succeed in This Course
I have never known a student who passed introductory economics without working through the questions and problems. Studying economics requires far more than memorizing terminology and retracing graphs. Exams presume you know definitions and can apply them analytically to work through problems. Studying the principles of economics without working through questions is analogous to reading a calculus text without doing problems: you can't appreciate the working of the theory. So it is essential that you carefully complete the knowledge checks, questions, and problems. Until you wrestle with these exercises, you will not know how well you have grasped the principles. This is the best method for you to test your own understanding of the material, and it is how most instructors will test your understanding. The goal is to learn an economic way of thinking and an analytical approach to problem solving. Studying the textbook can provide a framework within which this analysis can take place, but it cannot provide the techniques for problem solving. Continued practice answering different questions is the best method for training your mind to think analytically in order to solve economic problems.
Economics is a discipline that builds upon fundamental propositions. It is very important that you adequately grasp each concept before moving on to the next assignment. Again, how you do on the questions and problems is the best test of your mastery of the subject matter.
Finally, once you have carefully worked through the relevant chapters and feel comfortable with the Knowledge Checks, Miller's end-of-chapter questions, and the Study Guide questions and problems, you should try the appropriate practice exam (midterm or final). This gives you one final opportunity to assess your understanding of the material before you write the exam. The practice exam contains a selection of questions from all the chapters (seven chapters for the midterm, fifteen chapters for the comprehensive final), in the same format and of approximately the same length as the real exam. You can simulate the exam conditions (that is, within the allowed time and with no supporting materials except for a calculator), and then evaluate yourself with the answer key provided. After reviewing any problem areas, you should be ready for your exam. Relax and think of it as an opportunity to communicate everything you have learned.
A Message to You
This system is designed to allow you to teach yourself economics. All you need do is apply yourself and follow the directions. Economics is not easy, but it can be mastered with effort. When you successfully finish this course, you will not only grasp the principles of economics, but you also will have demonstrated that you can learn, and that you can learn by yourself. After all, life is a continual process of learning. In that process each of us has to rely on one main teacher—ourselves.
Final Note
In formatting this course to follow macro courses at the University of Washington, I have not assigned every chapter in Miller. There are excellent discussions in the unassigned chapters, although they are not compulsory. One goal of this course is to induce you to study economics further, and you are encouraged to browse through the table of contents for chapters that may interest you.
About the Course Developer
This course was created by Shon Kraley, Ph.D. and revised by Robert Richards in December, 2008
Dr. Kraley received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Washington in 2001. His undergraduate degree from Portland State University is also in economics. He began teaching economics at the UW in 1995, and in 1999, he was presented the Langton Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Instruction. Dr. Karley is the head of Economics at Lower Columbia College, and received the faculty of the year award there in 2004.
As an undergraduate math major, Dr Kraley was confronted with a career as a math instructor. His roommate at the time was studying economics and suggested that Kraley give it a try. His first economics course was taught by a grad student; the content was over the instructor's head and the teaching was unapproachable; it was a miserable experience. However, Kraley gave it one more chance and, as luck would have it, he had a wonderful instructor for his second course. The rest, as they say, is history.
Dr. Kraley's professional interests focus on natural resources (particularly coastal resources and energy economics) and industrial organization (the study of competition).

Academic Advising
"Academic advising is a developmental process which assists students in the clarification of their life/career goals and in the development of educational plans for the realization of these goals. It is a decision-making process by which students realize their maximum educational potential through communication and information exchanges with an advisor; it is ongoing, multifaceted, and the responsibility of both student and advisor. The advisor serves as a facilitator of communication, a coordinator of learning experiences through course and career planning and academic progress review, and an agent of referral to other campus agencies as necessary." Winston, Jr. R. B., Enders, S. C., & Miller, T. K. (Eds.) (March 1982). Developmental approaches to academic advising. New Directions for Student Services, 17.

Public Services minister Dalmas Otieno has directed the Rongo Town Council to reposes 10 market stalls allocated to council staff.
During a tour of the market yesterday, Otieno found out that traders have been forced to close their businesses because of the high fees demanded by the council.
"Traders occupying the kiosks grabbed by corrupt and greedy officials should pay the required fees directly to the council and not the fake landlords," Otieno said.
The traders said council workers have grabbed the stalls and are leasing them out at twice the normal rate of Sh1,500. The minister ordered the town clerk and treasurer to offer allotment certificates to the traders occupying the grabbed stalls immediately.
Through their chairman Joseph Ariwi, the traders thanked the minister for his intervention.
Ariwi said some traders had been involved in confrontations with council askaris over their refusal to pay the fees. "Traders who had earlier refused to pay their council fee will now oblige and pay promptly once the allotment letters are given out," Ariwi said.
Otieno asked traders from neighbouring counties to invest in the town since the council's fee is affordable.

Having been to Normandy and walked along Omaha Beach, I can so appreciate Mr. Vannatter's courage. It is humbling and awe-inspiring to be there even 65 years later. Being present in the earliest hours of the Normandy invasion meant that he was actually there for the real ordeal, as portrayed in Saving Private Ryan. And then to have to fight on to the Battle of the Bulge...amazing. Heroic.
Certainly, his family must be proud of such a fine man who recovered from the War and went on to college, raising a family and an engineering career. I did not know him but, as an American, I find his example very inspiring.

Scott Lucas is a busy man: new Local H, Married Men coversContinue reading.
Scott Lucas recovering from attack; Local H show is on
After canceling some dates due to a vocal chord injury sustained during a mugging, Chicago's Scott Lucas is ready to get the latest Local H tour back on the road.
"It looks like he's going to be OK," said Jill Mango, Local H's publicist, on Thursday. "He's not going to need surgery."
The incident took place Feb. 20 after a concert in Moscow.
Lucas — one half of Local H with drummer Brian St. Clair — described what happened on the duo's Facebook page:
I was assaulted and robbed. The attacker came up from behind and put me in a chokehold until I passed out. When I came to, I was in a stairwell with all of my pockets empty. No phone, no wallet, no cash, and (worst of all) no passport. Nothing. Even my hat and glasses were gone. It wasn't until I found someone to ask for help that I realized something else was gone – my voice. When I opened my mouth to ask that person to call me a taxi, nothing but a scratchy croak would come out. I touched my throat and could feel that more damage had been done than I initially thought.
Mango said that upon returning to the States, Lucas attempted to play some shows with his other band, Scott Lucas & the Married Men. "Those shows are not nearly as vocally taxing as a Local H show, but he was still having trouble," she said. "He realized he needed to deal with it."
With help from MusiCares (a foundation that aids musicians, who often have no health insurance), Lucas was able to see a doctor.
"My vocal cords are definitely not disjointed and the medication I've been taking seems to be doing the trick," Lucas reports.
So — Saturday's gig at the suburban Montrose Room is still on the books. After that, 11 more dates heading westward.
The Married Men next play Chicago on May 1 at the Empty Bottle, opening for Empty Mansions.
Local H released a new album, "Hallelujah! I'm a Bum," last fall.

New signing Philippe Coutinho marked his Liverpool debut with a goal as an understrength Swansea City side with one eye on a Wembley final next week put up little fight at Anfield. The 20-year-old scored the important second moments after the break following Steven Gerrard's first-half penalty.
Jose Enrique, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, also from the spot, finished off the visitors who rarely looked interested in, or capable of, making a contest of it.
Brendan Rodgers, facing the club he left in the summer for the third time this season, began the week talking up what an important seven days lay ahead. But after a home defeat to West Bromwich Albion and one against Zenit St Petersburg in the UEFA Europa League this game took on even more significance.
Physically unintimidating, with a bigger prize on offer in seven days' time, Swansea were also the perfect team for the slight and youthful-looking Coutinho to make his first appearance since an £8.5m move from Inter Milan late last month.
Swans boss Michael Laudrup, with his thoughts on next weekend's League Cup final, did his predecessor a huge favour by naming a weakened side, selecting only four from the line-up who beat QPR 4-1 last week and leaving out 15-goal striker Michu, captain Ashley Williams and Nathan Dyer.
Kemy Agustien's unnecessary challenge on Suarez close to the touchline brought about the opener, with the assistant referee immediately flagged for a penalty. Gerrard, having failed from the spot in front of the Kop against West Brom, went for the opposite corner and succeeded in beating Michel Vorm for Liverpool's first goal.
Second-half surge
Swansea had shown little threat in the opening 45 minutes and any ideas they may have had about staging a comeback were snuffed out within ten minutes of the restart. In truth, the 16 seconds it took the 20-year-old Coutinho to skip through the visitors' defence and beat Vorm was all that was required. However, a well-worked goal saw Enrique poke home Sturridge's pass before Suarez went past both Swansea's centre-backs to fire home the fourth.
The Reds ploughed forward almost at will with Swansea seemingly powerless to stop them or provide any effective response of their own. After being denied on multiple occasions, Sturridge finally got his goal but only courtesy of the generosity of Gerrard who relinquished penalty duties when substitute Wayne Routledge handled.
Liverpool, who finished with ten men after third and final substitute Fabio Borini went off with a painful-looking shoulder injury, have now scored 17 goals in their last five home games with only the two conceded against West Brom spoiling a perfect run at Anfield. With this win they moved to within nine points of fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Written answer:
This can be due to a migraine ora but would only last a short time, up to about 30 minutes. If it is present permenantly then there may be a issue within the eye, specificially with the retina, so this should be examined as soon as possible by having an eye test.

Explosions Expert Witnesses & Texas Fertilizer Plant Blast
Explosions expert witnesses may consult regarding flammable materials, chemical explosions, and combustion. In the news, MailOnline reports that "a malfunctioning golf cart, faulty electrical system or even arson" could have led to the fire that triggered the deadly explosion of a fertilizer plant in West, Texas. Officials have yet to find the cause of a blast that killed 14 people, including 12 first responders. The blast formed a crater 93' wide by 10' deep.

Tata Photon Plus
I have recently purchased Tata Photon Plus USB data card. It claims to have the speed upto 3.1 mbps but the speed i am getting is only 20kbps. Its just frustrating and nothing else. The customer care of Tata, no need to say they do not pick the call up untill u get frustrated. every time i make a call to customer care, i have to wait at least 10 minutes.
Do you think a customer have such a patience to wait for 10-20 minutes just to talk to a customer care.
Talking to a customer care executive is not less than talking to a Prime Minister or President.
Never go for it!!!

BSNL is the best and more than satisfactory.

Try calling them during odd hours like after 10PM for example or very early in the morning and they will pick your call within a few seconds.

My cousin in Bangalore gets excellent connectivity and speed in Photon.
There may be something wrong with your datacard, if you can find out the address of the Tata Indicom office in Delhi (I believe you reside in Ghaziabad) go there and create a scene so they will attend to your problem.
The private sector is worse than the Public sector in India, surprisingly !

Pathetic Tata photon
I have a tata photon mobile broadband in B'lore & the speed is pathetic. The download speed is .29mbps and upload is .06 mbps which is awful.
Is there any other service provider who gives consistently better speeds? What about the new BSNL offers?

Miserable Tata Photon+ customer service
Hi All,
I was very hesitant to post my issue in this forum but Tata Photon+ customer service left me no choice. Tata Photon+ customer service turns out to be having reprehensible characteristics - no commitment, poor technical competency and shamelessness to repeatedly say sorry. I was using Tata Photon Plus post paid connection from December 2009 and I made switch to Prepaid in July 2010 as my usage got limited to travel.
I raised a connection issue on 17 Aug 2010 and a complaint was registered against it. I got the error message while connecting "PPP link control protocol was terminated" and it doesnt connect to Internet. Later I got a callback and they recommended few steps which didnt work for me. After subsequent followup calls they asked me to visit a Tata Indicom Hub but they were clueless about what should be done and raised a case from their side on 24th Aug 2010. From then on it was a grueling campaign; I was a frequent caller to Tata Indicom Photon Customer Care centre as well as visited almost all Tata Indicom centres in Cochin without any progress on this issue. The sad part which really pissed me off was they never fulfilled any of their deadlines. I remember fews names like Jagan, Azad, Nimesh, Abdul etc. who made commitments to fix it by so and so date but nothing happened. And couple of days back I figured out that I am able to connect when I change the Network Settings to "1x mode only" though it is very slow. I visited Tata customer care centre and informed the same but they still sounded clueless as ever and raised another case.
Today 15th Sep 2010, its almost 4 weeks, every time I call its the same old story, I feel miserable for being a Tata Photon+ customer. I would like to warn anyone who is considering Tata Photon+ prepaid; Beware you are on your own!!!
Dear Forum users, please let me know how we can deal with such services whose office danglings say "Performance Guaranteed" and displays lot of customer commitments. Like they will do a call back if you wait on call for more than few mins; for me that few mins didnt come even after 25mins of wait today. So no thing is guaranteed except their "Hello" and abject "Sorry". In the end you will feel like "Hell" and "Sorry".

Dear Asif,
I had a problem with Tata indicom eating up the minute I recharged, and after two months of shouting thru my throat, they resolved the issue. They gave back my eaten up bandwidth and also this returned bandwidth is valid until November. None of their recharge lasts more than a month.
So finally I should say the issue was resolved to my satisfaction.
It took me -
- about a dozen telephone calls,
- a couple of dozens of postings on the web
- half a dozen emails to all known emails ending with ttsl.in
- few minutes of telephone audio recording
- few hours of converting the recorded audio into youtube postable video,
- few hours of monitoring on the web forums for replies to my post,
- and replying to those posts in such a way that it grabs people attention and at the same time pisses of a photon rep
They solved my issue in just 65 days.
I pray for you that may god inspire them to solve your issue in 5-6 days.
All the best.

X (Australian)
In this New Dark Age of rock-n-roll music, no one with any taste whatsoever can dispute the greatness that was the Australian rock scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. An army of young bands inspired by the gritty Detroit noise of the STOOGES and THE MC5 dragged themselves out of the darkness and burned themselves to cinders in the tiny pubs and garages of cities like Sidney, Brisbane, and Melbourne - seemingly a million miles removed from the media centers of New York, London, and LA (where punk rock was already making the transition from the CBGB's toilets to the display windows of Bloomingdales.) X was one of them.
Based around the creative core of singer/guitarist Steven Lucas and former ROSE TATTOO bass player Ian Rilen, X have churned out a devastating catalog of fractured rock songs and solidified their reputation as one of Australia's most intense live acts over the past twenty years. In 1983, X relocated from Sydney to Melbourne and recruited drummer Cathy Green. With this new line-up, the band worked up a blistering new set, combining the sturm und drang of their early material with a new melodic sensibility. 1985's "At Home With You" was the product, a truly timeless album that has weathered the years as defiantly as THE SAINTS' "Eternally Yours", THE BIRTHDAY PARTY's "Prayers On Fire" or RADIO BIRDMEN's "Radios Appear."
Ian Rilen, Steven Lucas, & Cathy Green
"At Home With You" CD/LP
Yeah. for some reason I was under the impression that this was a LIVE release. No. Its not. Its studio. First thing I notice is the better production... and THE HORNS! Theres horns on this fucking thing; not the whole thing but some of it.... Trumpets. Saxamaphones... I dont know what the kids are calling them thesedays. But I can hear them.... I had VERY high expectations when I put this thing on. Right away I figured it would floor me or bore me.... I mean, FUCK! Aspirations, X's first full-on is easily one of the best releases ever. If you asked me, Aspirations would definitly be one of the records I consider a must have. In the press release, something is said about Aspirations holding its own with releases from such Australian heavy hitters as The Saints, The Birthday Party, and Radio Birdman. PUSSIES! They cant hold up to X at all.... Besides, the BEST Australian punk, the big three for me, would be The Chosen Few, The Thought Criminals with X leading the charge. I believe in X.
So. This release definitly dont floor me the way Aspirations did. STATED! Theres a more refined sound on At Home.... a cleaner sound. You know that band Girls against Boys.... New Wet Kojak... Well, They owe something to X and on At Home You can see it. The songs here are tight. Still retaining some of the rawness of Aspisrations but At Home sounds like a band with a bit more comfort than the band on Aspirations. At Home lacks a bit of the desperation that Aspirations had. Its not a bad thing either. DONT LET ME GIVE YOU THE WRONG IMPRESSION: This CD is good. its damn good. in fact, I highly recomend you fucking get it. BUT held up to Aspirations, its not SHIT but its not gold either. Maybe silver (my favorite color though). At Home is catchy. Its grown on me more and more since I had it and my guess is that it will continue to do so....I feel like I can have some inspiring moments when listening to this disc; some real special moments.... Like those beer comercial type moments when you and your friends are drinking away and everyone is laughing and having a good old time... But Im fucking miserable most of the time and so are my friends. Its a chore to just live.
I hate my fucking life.
So, At Home with You.... I feel like Im being hard on it. Its a good release. Continued EXCELLENT song writing. Who am I to judge this band? They are legends. Im just glad to hear this release really. Im no one important. im no one special. Im just some fuck head who thinks he is some sort of Lester Bangs or something. X left their mark and on a release like At Home it fucking shows. Desperation? At Home has a new kind of desperation....It has a new kind of angst: Continued angst! Controlled angst! STATED! Im going to urge my friends to get this release, thats saying somehting. I mean At Home at least doesent have the fucking Batman theme on it...Doing somehting like including "Batman" on your debut LP AND being Australian is strange, but for some reason, befitting. The Jam did the same thing and they looked like fucking buffoons. After all, The Jam dont have songs like "Deliquent Cause" to back themselves up... X do. So the bottom line is you cant afford to pass this LP or Cd or whatever you find up. Get it. You probably wont be unsatisfied. The more I listen, the more it makes me want to kill myself. Its 90 here in Ohio and I dont have A/C. 100% humidity. Death by X; Thats a good thing.
Oh yeah.... Here Morphius is back on my good side and they send me a fucking promo with ten of the twelve songs on the REAL release.... Nice fucking trick. Just when I had the handful of asprin and bottle of vodka.... Im no longer in the mood.(SAB) – Blankgeneration.com

Thank you to everyone who has downloaded this widget, I look forward to writing many more apps just like it!
I recently discovered a way to guess opponents words with 100% accuracy on the game "Hanging with Friends" using a rooted Android device. Basically all you're doing is viewing the database which stores the game info.
When an opponent sends you a word to guess, that word (along with other game info) is saved locally on your device within the game database files. You can view the word they sent you, and then "guess" it perfectly when you open up the Hanging with Friends app and resume your game. Here is what you'll need to accomplish this:
1. Rooted Android device
2. File explorer (I use Root Explorer)
3. A SQL database viewer (I use SQLite Editor)
Here are the steps:
- Have your friend send you a word to guess and remember the "free" letter and its position for reference.
- Open up your file explorer and navigate to "/data/data/com.zynga.hanging/databases" and click on wwf.sqlite
- Click on the "Move" table
- Scroll down to the bottom of the table and you'll see all of the words played in your games including the most recent, unsolved words.
- Enter in the letters to complete the word without using any strikes!

I tried charging my TG01 using the supplied sync cable and a cigarette lighter - USB adaptor and found it wouldn't charge. This is a great problem to me as i use Tomtom on a daily basis for work, and didn't fancy my chances of the battery lasting a day with the screen on for about 6 hours solid.
So after much messing around with different chargers and a multimeter i found that the data pins on the USB connector needed to be shorted together for the phone to charge. So after 10 minutes with my soldering iron my phone charges in the car .
I'm not saying you will need to mod all car chargers but it may be worth checking the operation before handing over the cash.

- Joshua Barnes Allen Sr.'s Profile
- Family Tree & Genealogy Tools
Categories: 1776 Project | Virginia Colonists | Harrison County, West Virginia.
|Event years 1773-1789
|If you are interested in this profile,
please check out the 1776 Project!
This info in my notes is from Harrison county, West Virginia, deed book 3, p 232. The Joshua Allen of Harrison County W.V.(Deed Book 3, Page 232) says: ...one of the legal heirs of the estate of William Allen deceased of Hunterdon, in the state of New Jersey... He is granting Power of Attorney to his son Barnes Allen and his son-in-law Aaron Smith. October 16, 1798.
- West Virginia Estate Settlements
- Harrison Co., WV (formed 1784)
- Joshua ALLEN, Inventory dated Nov 23, 1810
- Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement of Virginia[1]
- The Allen Family;
- When the Revolutionary War soldier James Townsend was stationed at Nutter's Fort on his fourth tour, he became acquainted with the Joshua Allen family. In 1775, Joshua Allen settled at what is now Hepzibah but was then the Allen farm, five miles outside of Clarksburg. Joshua Allen, owned 350 acres on the West Fork of the Monongahela River, adjoining lands claimed by John Simpson, this land was to include his settlement made in 1775, and a preemption right to 1000 acres adjoining (History of Harrison County, West Virginia, by Henry Haymond, 1910, p.32). John Wilson, 400 acres, on both sides of West Fork of Monongahela River, adjoining lands of Joshua Allen, to include his settlement made in 1775 (p. 32, ibid).
- Joshua Allen and his son, Barnes Allen, came from Scotland to Virginia, from there to Fort Pitt, thence up the river to what is now known as Hepsibah, or the Allen farm, five miles from Clarksburg (p. 144, ibid). This was on the opposite side of town from Elk creek where James Townsend eventually settled. James probably made several returns to Clarksburg after his tour of 1779, in his courtship with Catherine, born Oct. 10, 1761, daughter of Joshua Allen. They were married Jan. 20, 1784, probably eloping to a yet unknown place back east, since their marriage is not on record at any logical archive deposit. After their honeymoon, they settled on the Back Creek of Jackson River, Augusta County, now Bath, where James had purchased 153 acres of land on November 21, 1780.
- Solomon Townsend;
- Perhaps it was due to Catherine's need for a "nanny" that her sister Elizabeth Allen came to Back Creek from her father's homestead near Clarksburg. As it is, James' brother Solomon obtained a marriage bond on August 8th, 1787 and married Elizabeth, daughter of Joshua Allen. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Archibald Scott. The church for which Rev. Archibald Scott was pastor is the Bethel Church, located five miles outside of Durbin, which is now Pocahontas Co., WV. (EHB)[2]

The most common used phrase this week? "It's a good time to be a Blue Jays fan!"
It has been confirmed that the Blue Jays have signed Melky Cabrera to a 2-year, $16 million contract.
Melky Cabrera agree with #BlueJays, source said to ESPNdeportes.com: es.pn/TOdhan
— Enrique Rojas/ESPN (@Enrique_Rojas1) November 16, 2012
Before being suspended for 50 games in 2012 for testing positive to PED's Melky led the National League with a .346 batting average.
You can slot him in as the everyday left fielder and you can pencil him in as the new number 2 hitter, two things I never thought I would say. Melky gives the team 4 switch hitters (Cabrera, Reyes, Bonifacio and Izturis) and guarantees that Rajai Davis will be coming off the bench.
This leaves me with two questions. Who will be the manager and is the number 5 starter even on the roster yet?

It has taken ten years for fact to overcome perception but as of August two important issues for Homeschool Families have been clarified. This year's revision of the "Federal Student Aid Handbook: Vol. 2010-2011 can be accessed on line at http://www.ifap.ed.gov/ifap/byAwardYear.jsp?type=fsahandbook&awardyear=2010-2011 .
In the first volume, chapter one, home school students are stated as eligible for FSA funds provided their education at the secondary level was treated by their state law as a home or a private school.
On a separate but related issue, the handbook farther clarifies that the age of compulsory attendance does not apply to a home schooled student if the state does not ask the student to enroll at a secondary school or to receive more homeschooling. Volume 2, Chapter 1, page 6 further clarifies that such a student is beyond the age of compulsory education if his state wouldn't consider him truant after completing the homeschool program.
What may an institution require as proof that the homeschool student has completed his education? The same Volume 2, chapter 1 and page 6 affirms that the school "may rely on a homeschooled student's self-certification that he or she completed secondary school in a homeschool setting." The demand that some schools make for a high school diploma recognized by the state is not a lawful requirement. None of the 50 states have this requirement. This also applies to requirements of a GED to obtain. It is considered to be discriminatory based on US House of Representative and Senate Committee Reports- Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (Pub L. No. 105 – 244). This was passed to encourage institutions of higher learning receiving federal funding to stop discrimination towards homeschoolers.
To sum up, HSLDA- Advocates for Homeschooling, in their October 2010 current issue analysis concludes, "Homeschool graduates need only to demonstrate that they have successfully completed a secondary school education in a homeschool setting and have met state law requirements. No college may refuse admittance based on the argument that these graduates are under compulsory school attendance age."…." Furthermore, institutions of higher learning that receive federal aid can admit homeschool graduates, at any age, without endangering their institutional eligibility. For federal financial aid, homeschoolers need only self-certify their homeschool diplomas".

7/2/14 Celebs in Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, July 2, 2014
CAMERON DIAZ claims she lets it all hang out in her new movie "Sex Tape" . . . quote, "I mean you see everything." She also talks about not being a mom at 41 . . . quote, "I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother. I have it much easier than any of them. That's just what it is. Doesn't mean life isn't sometimes hard. I'm just what I am."
JULIANNE HOUGH spoke with "Redbook" about why her relationship with RYAN SEACREST didn't work. She said, quote, "There was nothing wrong or bad, but there was nothing right. I had one foot out because I didn't want to get hurt. And I didn't say what was on my mind because I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. I needed to be perfect."
ROBIN WILLIAMS checked into rehab, but his people say he did NOT fall off the wagon. A rep says, quote, "After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud."
SHIA LABEOUF isn't in rehab after all, but his rep says he is, quote, "voluntarily receiving treatment for alcohol addiction." He adds, quote, "Shia understands that these recent actions are a symptom of a larger health problem and he has taken the first of many necessary steps towards recovery."
"In Touch Weekly" says PORTIA DE ROSSI went to rehab back in May for an addiction to drugs and alcohol . . . which she turned to because of ELLEN DEGENERES and her controlling ways. A source claims, quote, "She went from sipping white wine occasionally to drinking at least a bottle or more a day and topping it off with a pill. It got to the point where she was out of it four nights a week."
JUSTIN BIEBER was partying at his house early Tuesday morning with newly-drafted Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Tyrese Gibson and rapper Tyga. But neighbors called the cops because the music was too loud. They turned it down and everything was cool. Until police had to come back because there were screaming female fans outside.

Sandra's suddenly single
She's baaack. And she's officially available.
Sandra Oh, who won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her portrayal of the emotionally stunted, overly ambitious surgeon in ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," will announce the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild nominations on January 4.
And this will mark her first big 2007 Awards Season appearance as a legally single woman, after a not-quite-wrapped-up-pretty-with-a-bow divorce from her hubby Alexander Payne, who directed her in "Sideways."
The couple got married in 2003. Oh filed for divorce in April 2005.
But according to Oh's official divorce decree entered last week and cited on TMZ, there are still a few - like six - financial strings to be tied up. Something about who gets what from retirement accounts and pension funds and the like.
Jeepers, guys. You were only married for two years.
It's not like you were as financially entangled as Britney and Kevin, Paul and Heather or even Pamela and Tommy Lee and/or Kid Rock. Time to wrap it up and get on with single life.
Photo Credits: Gosh, they sure looked happy at the Indie Spirits Awards in 2005, just two months before Sandra filed for divorce. But on second glance, those smiles are a bit gritted teeth, aren't they?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. ŌĆō Dan Mullen hasnŌĆÖt had a losing season at Mississippi State since his first year directing the Bulldogs.
MSU finished 5-7 in 2009, but rattled off three-straight winning seasons and three bowl appearances.
Mullen and his Bulldogs need a win today to keep that streak alive. The Bulldogs (6-6) play the Rice Owls (10-3) at in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs huge,ŌĆØ Mullen said Monday afternoon at a press conference ahead of the Liberty Bowl. ŌĆ£Finishing with a winning record for this senior class in a four-year span, to go have four-straight winning seasons is something that hasnŌĆÖt happened very often at Mississippi State. ThatŌĆÖs something that is pretty special.ŌĆØ
During that three-year stretch, MSU went 2-1 in bowl games, with the lone loss coming last year to Northwestern in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla.
MSU enters the game with a good bit of momentum. Entering the final two games of the season, the Bulldogs were sitting at 4-6. They beat Arkansas and in-state rival Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl to get to a school-record fourth-straight bowl game.
Mullen wants his team to carry that momentum over, so the momentum will carry over into 2014 and not leave a bad taste in his teamŌĆÖs mouth for eight months.
ŌĆ£Finishing on a positive note at the end of the season certainly helps,ŌĆØ Mullen said. ŌĆ£Our guys also know how important this is to go win this game. We donŌĆÖt play again until I think August 30. ThatŌĆÖs eight full months until we get to play again. You want to have that positive feeling, not just coming into the bowl game, but going into the offseason.ŌĆØ
Ring responsibly
Rice head coach David Bailiff said that Mullen told him that Bulldog fans were going to ring their cowbells responsibly.
The artificial noisemakers will be allowed in Liberty Bowl Stadium, but the same rules the Southeastern Conference has in place for MSU home games regarding the tradition will apply in this game.
The Owls will have to block out the cowbells and maroon-clad crowd, as it will basically be a home game for the Bulldogs.
Mullen has encouraged fans to buy tickets and show up to support the Bulldogs. MSU sold out its allotment of 16,000 tickets, and the bowl record attendance is expected to be broken.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve asked our fans to come out and do things before, (and) theyŌĆÖve been able to come through for us,ŌĆØ Mullen said. ŌĆ£I certainly hope we have a lot of traffic heading over the state line (Tuesday). This is a huge community and there are a lot of Mississippi State fans in this community here.ŌĆØ
The Owls wonŌĆÖt back down though. Rice won Conference USA this season and had one of its goals come to fruition when they beat Marshall in Houston, Texas.
ŌĆ£We asked them to dream big and set their goals high,ŌĆØ Bailiff said. ŌĆ£We wanted to win Conference USA, we wanted to go to the Liberty Bowl, which for Conference USA is where the champ goes. You have to win Conference USA to achieve that goal.ŌĆØ
Mullen understands what it means to be a team from the Southeastern Conference playing against a team from a lesser conference.
ŌĆ£I know everybody in our league takes a lot of pride in it, but it also puts a huge target on your back,ŌĆØ Mullen said. ŌĆ£I imagine all the guys at Rice are sitting there saying ŌĆśnot only do we get to beat Mississippi State (today), we have the opportunity to beat a SEC school.ŌĆÖ WeŌĆÖre playing a conference champion and itŌĆÖs obviously a great challenge.ŌĆØ
Prescott ready
The last month for Bulldog sophomore quarterback Dak Prescott has been up and down.
The Haughton, La., native suffered an arm injury against Texas A&M on Nov. 9. He missed the next two games and didnŌĆÖt see action against the Rebels until the fourth quarter.
Prescott came in and scored the game-winning touchdown on a 4th and 2 in overtime to get the Bulldogs bowl eligible.
He is not 100 percent, but will be ready to roll.
ŌĆ£It was a nerve issue which is all time-oriented,ŌĆØ Mullen said. ŌĆ£If heŌĆÖs not 100 percent strength back, heŌĆÖs pretty close.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre probably not going to get 100 percent back until he gets into the offseason because weŌĆÖve had practice.ŌĆØ
Rice cornerbacks
gaining attention
There has been a good bit of talk over this past week about the Rice cornerbacks.
It has all be warranted.
Senior Phillip Gaines, who usually lines up on the right side, has a team-high four interceptions. Bryce Callahan, who plays on the left side, is tied for second on the team with three picks.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre as good as IŌĆÖve seen this year,ŌĆØ Mullen said. ŌĆ£We play some pretty good corners week in and week out in the Southeastern Conference. What makes them so tough is itŌĆÖs not one, itŌĆÖs two.ŌĆØ

If, like us, you'd sort of forgotten about the Kia cee'd, this facelift might come as a surprise. The cee'd has only been around for 18 months, so this nip and tuck has come a little earlier than usual.
The car gets Kia's new family face, which is nicked from the fantastically
exciting Magentis. The bonnet has been re-sculpted and the bumper, grille and
lights have all been updated. Inside, the centre console has been made 'more
intuitive' (no fumbling around for the volume knob, then) and you can now have
a Bluetooth kit.
It's a good car, the cee'd - a genuine Ford Focus rival for not-much-money. This facelifted version will be shown at Frankfurt later this year, alongside two all-new models (cars, not girls).
Maybe this new look will help it stick in the memory a little longer.
Or maybe it won't. Hello? Are you still reading this? You've forgotten it already, haven't you?
