Asian currencies completed a third weekly gain, led by South Korea's won, as global funds increased holdings of the region's assets amid easing concern about the timing of U.S. interest-rate increases.
Indonesia's rupiah headed for its biggest weekly drop this year after unofficial results of a parliamentary vote showed Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo's party won less support than expected.
Asian currencies rose toward a four-month high, led by the Philippine peso and Malaysia's ringgit, on optimism regional economies have scope to combat slowdowns by boosting state spending.
Indonesia's rupiah is set to snap its world-beating gains of the past week, trading patterns suggest, amid concern a clampdown on commodity exports will swing the nation's trade balance back to the red.
The Philippine peso advanced for a second day, paring a monthly loss, after a government report showed gross domestic product expanded faster than economists estimated in the second quarter.
The Philippine peso retreated from a three-week high after the Federal Reserve signaled it will hold off from further monetary easing, curbing investor appetite for emerging-market assets.
The Philippine peso climbed to the highest level in almost five years on speculation the central bank will start raising its benchmark interest rate in 2013 to ward off inflation. Five-year government bonds declined.
Indonesia's most aggressive rate- tightening in eight years has barely dented a current-account deficit, prompting calls for more increases and other measures before the Federal Reserve cuts stimulus.
Indonesia's rupiah was little changed after trading near a one-month high, as a government report showed inflation accelerated to the fastest pace in 20 months, spurring speculation the central bank will raise borrowing costs this year.

Hey, Channing Tatum, Your Wife Jenna Dewan Has a "Major" Celeb Crush On…
... Beyoncé!
Life & Style asked Jenna Dewan-Tatum for her biggest celeb crush and she went with Mama B: "I have a major girl crush on her. I mean, she's a queen!"
What a great wife to not answer with a hot male Hollywood celeb to make her hubby jealous. Then again, when you're married to Channing Tatum there aren't that many hotter guys to answer.
Jenna could've gone with her American Horror Story co-star Adam Levine, which would've been fair since she already talked about how "super-nice" he is — and they had an intimate chemistry test together. She also could've picked buddy George Clooney, although maybe that would've been awkward since the Tatums are close with George and his girlfriend Stacy Keibler. Instead, Jenna picked a gorgeous woman, which probably made Channing very happy.
For his part, Channing played a version of The Newlywed Game with Entertainment Tonight, getting most of the questions right about Jenna. He knew that his wife was a vegan (which you would expect) and loves to eat tons of vegetables. He also answered correctly that her favorite piece of clothing is high heels. The only thing he got "wrong" was the question about what we might be surprised to know about her. Jenna answered that she's obsessed with fairies. (!) Channing went with the fact that she paints — although, he said, not nearly as much as she should. Aww!
The cuties are now starring together, as a couple, in 10 Years. What do you think? Are they your biggest celeb couple crush?

Paul Merson isn't impressed with Carlos Tevez, but says Man United will march on against Wigan.Back to story
Comments (38)
Tuck seng Tham (Manchester United fan) says...
No one is bigger than the club. I have this sneaky feeling that Ronaldo IS going to Madrid. United is going to get 71M for him. Pay for Tevez using 22M and the rest (approx 49M) for a quality player. Kaka? Ribery? (insert name of world class winger here) Good idea? cos I can't think of any other reason why SAF bought Tosic in Jan. Nani looks like a faggart but I still think he will come good.

Adam Shone (Manchester United fan) says...
Agree completely Merse about Tevez, said exacly that about his celebration at half time, appears like he (and his agent) is trying to play the fans off against Fergie here, which aint gonna wash on utd fans with any sense. People would also do well to realise he would not have scored that goal without a sublime touch and pass from Berba, something which few other players could have done. All fans, myself included, want Tevez to stay but not many I know think he is worth the money. I would rather see Benzema in the shirt next season. I think the league is over too Merse, also not sure why Barca are favorites for the CL. The chelsea game represented their first real test this season against a strong team with tactical nous, and their attack was largely stifled. I think we will do that to them too, esp without possibly Henry/Iniesta and i dont see their defense keeping us out all match. Get your money on utd!

Dan Breslin (Liverpool fan) says...
tevez is an outstanding player,for west ham,utd and argentina...he is better than berbatov, so those who say he isnt worth 30mil musnt be watching the same tevez i am...at utd tevez is been treated as a second class striker,reason why? utd cant be seen to want to get rid of berbatov so soon after spending Ł32.5m , so get rid of tevez who didnt cost them a third as much (by that i mean wages etc!) .so paul merson,if you think tevez has disrespected man utd. its the other way around,united have disrespected tevez....did tevez not do enough to earn a contract at utd???is tevez not good enough for utd??? you bet your bucks he is !!! as all the utd fans that wear a red jersey with tevez 32 on the back of it,youl be amazed at the amount that want rid of him!!! if ronaldo is worth 80million pound,then saying tevez isnt worth 30 million is ludicrous and hypocritical.....
Posted 00:21 13th May 2009
Lee Bardo (Manchester United fan) says...
I think youve got to look at the full picture.Ok utd have not offered tevez a contract? or have they and the ownership of him want more and more.I personally think jorabchin and his snide crew are trying to hold man u to ransom and utd are not having any of it!!
Posted 21:39 12th May 2009
Joel Doran (Manchester United fan) says...
Fair play edward but solskjaer never had problems coming off the bench and was always dangerous. The only way anyone will overtake United is if Rooney or Vidic leave these are the 2 best players at United. I also think that the digs that people are having at United over not offering Tevez a contract are wrong what is the difference to now and when Jorabchain sent them to west ham.
Posted 21:38 12th May 2009
Graham Davies (Manchester United fan) says...
its been a great season and well done to liverpool for keeping it going through to may. i also think merse is spot on, fergie wont want to field a full strength team against hull to seal the title with the champ league final only a few days later, that means 4 points is a must from wigan and arsenal with regards to tevez, he's been an outstanding utd player. it would be ashame to see him go but i feel this is a question of his price tag ..we still need a striker who can score some 30 goals a season and i doubt even utd are willing to splash out 60mil or more on just two players this summer
Posted 21:08 12th May 2009
Hassim Kader (Manchester United fan) says...
I have read most of your comments and all are almost similar in your comments Firstly I do not think that SAF would let Tevez leave Utd.Once the League and Champions League is over SAF will decide on his line up for 2010 Tevez remember is a versatile player and I for one think that Manu will not get the mileage fom Scholes and Giggs This is where SAF can use Tevez just behind the strikers.Can you see Rooney Berbertov and Ronaldo and Tevez just behind all gelling together Give this front line a few games together.I for one cannot wait to see this once they click
Posted 21:07 12th May 2009
Mcstr8 Eigowab (Manchester United fan) says...
Sir Alex is the best selector one have see in any years, there is no other than the manager man utd have.therfore he must be respest on what he is doing and how he is doing it.man utd with the power of the manager and faithful players he will be grown the champion again
Posted 20:55 12th May 2009
Hasan Azam (Manchester United fan) says...
Well said. A very disrespectful Tevez shall surely leave United this year. I loved him at United but after that celebration...see you later! Get in Benzema or Villa or just stick with our young strikers coming through. Ive seen enough of Welbeck and Macheda to be convinced they can really challenge for a starting berth in the next couple of years. Tevez you leave United and you shall never see this kind of success ever again. United will never bow down to a player. If Fergie wants you out your out son. Liverpool payed 20 odd million for Torress and are we supposed to pay 30 for you? 20 something wouldve been aight and I could see you staying. Get rid of that agent of yours....youll never be able to reach the heights of Ronaldo Rooney or even Gerrard if you keep moving clubs boy....
Posted 20:12 12th May 2009
Nick Rouse (Manchester United fan) says...
I think Paul is spot on with the Tevez situation. As good as he is he is not worth Ł30 million. People will say he runs his socks off but so did Alan Smith for Man Utd before he got injured, and no one in their right mind would pay Ł30 million for him. With that being said Tevez has been great for us and he will be sorely missed if he does go. I just hope he doesn't spoil his relationship with the fans by going to Liverpool, given the history between the two it would be disrespectful to both clubs to have him in one shirt and then 3 months later the other. If he loves Utd that much, as he says, he won't consider Liverpool. In regards to Ronaldo, whilst it is good for players to show enthusiasm, I found his reaction disrespectful to the subs coming on. Did he not think Rooney and Scholes were capable enough to see out the game? I dont't know what was going through his head, but if I was him I would be glad my job for the day was done and I still had a chance of playing in Rome unlike the unfortunate Fletcher. I hope Ronaldo doesn't continue this way as he matures further as a player, because then we will have a Drogba on our hands!
Posted 19:13 12th May 2009
Jason [again] (Manchester United fan) says...
Id rather see Berbatov go and we lose all that money, and keep tevez! Tevez = Works Hard!! Scores Goals! Doesnt need skills to get past people & comes back to defend Berbatov = Doesnt work hard!.. Scores goals but doesnt come back to defend like Tevez.. Cmon Fergie!!!
Posted 18:39 12th May 2009
John Kennedy (Manchester United fan) says...
A very fair assesment from Daniel. I did worry how we would react after the Liverpool and Fulham games, but as usual, Fergie calmed things down again and shuffled his pack to freshen things up. I think one of the players we missed most was our young Brazilian right back, he has so much energy and whilst he still has a lot to learn, I think the team plays so much more positively when he is involved. Its been good to have Liverpool push us all the way and I think they will also be our closest challengers again next year, but I'd love to see Sir Alex get 3 Champions League/ Premierships in a row and then he will be able to retire having known he has produced the best ever UTD team!
Posted 17:31 12th May 2009
Ell Cee (Manchester United fan) says...
Tevez is not worth Ł30million in my eyes. As hard as he works and gets the odd goal he is nowhere near the class of a Ł30million pound striker. You look at Ronaldo and say he can play left, right or throughthe middle. The same goes for Rooney as well. But Tevez can not do that and does not get as many goals through the middle as they would as well. I'm sorry Tevez but your gonna pay for your ownership to that agent guy as quality teams won't spend that kind of money. I can see Man City taking him on but other than that I think the other 3 from the top 4 will give it a miss signing him when players like David Villa are available maybe. Does he really think Liverpool would pick him over Villa...I know I wouldnt.
Posted 17:20 12th May 2009
Faisal Haider (Manchester United fan) says...
I absolutely agree with you paul, i certinly think that the title is ours to lose now. i can't see anything but 2 victories for man utd from their next 2 fixtures. i still fancy chelsea for the second place. and- my prediction is that united will beat wigan 4-0 and w rooney to score a brace. Cmon man_the_best_united

Ed Cheung (Manchester United fan) says...
I agree, tevez is a fantastic player but just not worth for that 25 mil.....
Posted 17:09 12th May 2009
Steven Creer (Manchester United fan) says...
I don't blame Tevez at all and i'm sure every Utd fan is behind him. We've absolutely wasted ż31m on Berbatov when we should have signed Tevez 1st. He was a main reason why we done so well last season and i don't think he's getting the respect off Utd that he deserves! What more does he have to do to earn a permanent deal? T he board and SAF can see how much the fans love Tevez and can see his quality so why sign a player that no-one wants when we could have kept Tevez who is far better suited to our attacking game! As for Ronaldo. Yes he's World player of Year and he's done wonders for our club, can't thank him enough for his service but i think he's in danger of a majority of Utd fans turning against him.
Posted 16:46 12th May 2009
Jason . (Manchester United fan) says...
i agree with paul merson that what tevez did was wrong and disrespectful, but he is still a world class player and has shown that this year, Ronaldo has had to many chances and everyone has their off game or season, but id rather keep Tevez than Ronaldo, if both were to go in the summer transfer i would love to see Fergie bring in Frank Ribery or Xavi two class players who would be so good for us! Cmon United!!!
Posted 16:35 12th May 2009
Daniel Basheer (Liverpool fan) says...
As a Liverpool fan I have to agree with Merse on this one. Man Utd won't lose to anyone in their current form, let alone Wigan. Liverpool have done well this season to even still be in with a shout at the title with 2 games left to play, but they need to learn from this and come back stronger next season. When Liverpool had 8 games left to play I honestly thought if we won them all we'd win the league, because Utd were not playing well and were leaking goals. We've won 5 and drawn one of those 8 games so far and are pushing Man U as far as we can. But, as much as it hurts to say, I take my hat off to them; They have responded to the pressure and won all of their games since then, and I can't see them losing any more games this season.

High-end television can qualify as British in one of two ways. It must meet the requirements of one of the following:
- The cultural test for high-end television.
- One of the UK's official bilateral co-production agreements that allow television co-production.
Changes to the cultural test for high-end television programmes
The Chancellor in the Budget 2015 announced that amendments would be made to the current cultural test for high-end television programmes, as introduced in April 2013. This test is the gateway to the high-end television tax relief. The draft policy of the current Government is to amend the existing cultural test by awarding an additional two points in Section A4 (Original Dialogue) and an additional two points in Section C1 (Cultural Hubs). This changes the total number of points available from 31 to 35, with the qualification threshold rising from 16 to 18. For any of these changes to take effect, they will need to be implemented through regulations amending the existing Cultural Test (Television Programmes) Regulations 2013. Until the future Government is in place and regulations are in place the current high-end television cultural test continues to operate as normal and interested parties should continue to refer to the existing regulations and guidance. Here is more information on the draft 35 point test:
To apply under the draft revised cultural test please see the application form section below.
The cultural test for high-end television
Qualifying your high-end television programme as British under the cultural test is the gateway to accessing the UK high-end television programme tax relief.
To apply for the cultural test for high-end television, there must be one television production company (TPC) that is registered with Companies House and within the UK corporation tax net. The TPC must be set up before principal photography begins and have responsibility for all aspects of the programme-making process from pre-production through to delivery.
The cultural test for high-end television is a points-based test where the project needs 16 of a possible 31 points to pass. It comprises four sections:
- Cultural content (up to 16 points).
- Cultural contribution (up to 4 points).
- Cultural hubs (up to 3 points).
- Cultural practitioners (up to 8 points).
- Summary of points – cultural test for high-end television
Applying for British high-end television certification
Applicants can apply for interim certification at any point before or during production. Interim certification is essential if you wish to claim high-end television tax relief during production.
A final application must be submitted once the programme is complete and ready to be broadcast to the general public. The online application form below can be used for interim and final certification.
Please read the guidance notes which will help you complete your application.
Application form
To submit an application, please proceed to the application forms below:
For the existing cultural test a hard copy statutory declaration must be completed in conjunction with a printed copy of your online application form (please see the supporting documents section below for further information).

This is an older park that is in need of some serious infrastructure TLC. The roads are gravel, but the edges and turns in the road are rutted and when it rains, it's like driving in a mud bath. I spent an hour scraping the stone-encrusted mud off of my tires. There are 3 types of sites: seasonal residents located in a shaded area at the front of the park; long gravel transient sites in front of the Self Storage building that have grass in between the sites and are fairly level; at the south end of the park, sites on a large mound of gravel, raised up several feet, where your wheels and front legs sit on opposite sides of the hill and leveling can be a challenge. There is no grass between the sites, and sites are opposing so you are facing the doorway of your next door neighbor. Almost all of these sites are occupied by working families, so work trucks abound, sometimes making navigation tricky. There are lots of children running about so you need to drive carefully and slowly during the day. Weekends are like 'party central'. On the plus side, the water pressure, cable TV, and Verizon signals were great. The park is very close to several of the main attractions in Abilene; the Eisenhower Museum, Greyhound Hall of Fame, Old Abilene Town. There is a small swimming pool, the water is bright and clear, but there were some leaves sitting on the bottom. On the negative side, the 'big rig' access should be taken with a grain of salt, as the roads are narrow and winding. The exit route is like following a snake trail (or you can cheat and exit via site #15 and the main entrance). A double tracked main rail line runs through town. At the road crossings the train horns are loud, long, and at all hours of the day and night. - Greyt-Parent

It was our misfortune to arrive at the campground during an unusual monsoon type rain. After paying our fee ( no discounts offered and only check or cash accepted ) we headed toward our site. We attempted to pull into the site per the directions at the office and we could see that the hook-ups for our rig would ALL be on the wrong side. We then looped around to come in from the other direction and while attempting to avoid one of the park homesteaders trucks ( 50% or better are homesteaders ) that stuck out into the driveway, we became stuck in the grass. Fortunately the park owner has a towing company and at no charge, we were pulled out. I think that the check in guy/ tow truck driver learned something about the park layout ( ie. that rigs need to park in alternating directions ). The sites are almost level, gravel but VERY soft when wet. There are lots of trains/train whistles to be heard throughout the nite and day. Based on the many kids bikes laying around the various sites, I'd guess that the park caters to a high number of local workers. They weren't obvious during our stay because it rained both days and nights but the sites are so close together we could hear doors slamming and conversations. I think that I calculated that the park is 4/10ths of a mile from the Eisenhower home and museum and the Greyhound Museum. The museum offers adequate parking and charges $10.00 per person to see everything. My Garmin had the park on the left side of South Buckeye after leaving the interstate but fortunately my wife's Google phone map listed it on the right ( correct ) side. They offer Tengo net but it's so weak/limited that it's not worth fooling with. The sites are too close to each other at our site. Our Verizon cell and mi-fi connected with 4 bars. The water pressure is listed at 75 lbs. and a pressure reducer is highly recommended. The park is just fine for us for a two nite visit to the museum and to visit the Russell Stover Factory down the road but this one visit/experience is more than enough. We did have a great meal at Joe Snuffy's on first street and would recommend this eatery. - 5thwheeler

Stone lot in town, shaded, close to road. Next lots are close. Wi-Fi is Tengo - so blah. Pool looked okay, good cable, close to museums. Would consider someplace else next time. Lot next door had one kid, two teenagers, two dogs, and four adults in a 1978 class C just purchased for $300 - so experience was rather marginal. - Crawdot

Although location was attractive with large expanses of woods and grass around park, the sites were generally unkempt. Patchy grass and dirt between very unlevel gravel sites (side to side and front to back). Utility connections were good, wifi was good, Verizon signal was very good. - jbrucemagon

We needed a place to stop for the night, and reviews led us here. The office staff and lady who led us to our spot were great. Very nice. Our first spot, which was full 50A full hook ups was tight and a truck was hampering our enter, so we opted for a 30A site up the hill. It was very slanted and we had to place levelers under our big rig on the driver side...but it was OK and private. Shower room was clean but dated. We would probably not stay again if we were traveling through, but if you want to visit Abilene then it is ok, just be prepared to level. - Vectra Travelers

This is an OK park to stay overnight. The restrooms and laundry are dated and the grounds not real well maintained. Convenient to Eisenhower Museum and Library. There's a convenience store on the grounds and a nice lake. - hbcamper

In the 90's the web was certainly and still is a good mean to share knowledge with others looking for the same information. I was then purchasing a lot of Django Reinhardt vinyls and CDs. These were the days prior to Fremaux "integrale". I was then trying to find the rare recordings but information were missing from the sleeves or was more than often plain wrong.
With some collaboration the site grew in size, i was so absorbed by Gipsy Jazz in the early 2000 that i was also bloging on it and trying to include on the site anything that related to this music. It became too much trouble to maintain - i'd rather play guitar in fact - so i downsized a lot...
I left the site on its own for many years...but i got some free time these days so why not "repaint it" with a new look.

What is referred to as a U.S. visa stamp is actually a sticker, as in the example to the left. The visa is issued in the visitors passport by a U.S. embassy or consulate outside the United States. The visa indicates that the visitor is eligible for entry and reentry to the United States in a specific immigration category (F-1, J-1, H-1B, O-1, etc. ..) The validity length of the visa varies greatly based on geopolitical agreements between the U.S. and other countries. To look up how long a specific visa might be issued for please review the U.S. State Department Reciprocity by Country site. Most visas allow for multiple entries.
The I-94 number is the "Arrival/Departure Record" issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) whenever you enter the United States. This record confirms that you have been legally admitted to the U.S. in a specific visa status, and for duration of time. For F and J visa holders the amount of time is indicated by the notation "D/S" which means you can be in the U.S. for the Duration of Status of your student or scholar program. If you arrive by air the CBP will confirm your immigration status by swiping your passport.
Later you will need to retrieve your I-94 record. Print it and keep it with your passport. If you arrive by land you may be issued a paper I-94 record. Below are samples of what the paper I-94 card and what the online I-94 record look like. Note: If you have an F or J visa and your I-94 record does not indicate "D/S" you should speak to an OISS advisor immediately.
Immigration status is your legal permission to remain in the U.S. under specific conditions as defined by a visa document. For example an F-1 student would have a Form I-20 as a visa document. A J-1 scholar would have a Form DS-2019 and an H-1b professor would have an Approval Notice (form I-797.) In most cases the visa document will be (or will be extended to be) for a longer period than the visa stamp discussed above. For most international travel both the visa document and the visa stamp must be valid.

When it comes to obstructing the social good in the name of corporate welfare, few have been more effective in recent history than the American Legislative Exchange Council. That innocuous name, usually shortened to ALEC—as if to conjure thoughts of some benign, vanilla acquaintance of your dad's— hides a nefarious history of stymieing environmental regulation, supporting racist voter ID rules and Florida's "Stand-Your-Ground" laws, and blocking the way of a living wage and collective bargaining.
In the last few weeks, ALEC has given its polluting members a lot to be pleased with—and given the American public a lot to scrutinize.
Still, there have been some encouraging signs that fighting ALEC's incursions into our Democracy can work. When the public sees how ALEC's initiatives only benefit corporations and people like Charles and David Koch, tables can turn quickly.
We'll start with the bad to get your heartbeat up.
- ALEC practically wrote the book on how to deny climate change, starting to peddle doubt since the early days of the Kyoto Protocol. Late last week Kert Davies documented the new lows ALEC has reached with its misinformation. ALEC has hosted industry-funded scientists to present on the "benefits" of atmospheric CO2, as if carbon pollution were a good thing for the world. It has supported bills in state legislatures that would make it mandatory to "teach both sides" of the climate science—as if the 3% of scientists who express doubt present an equal case as the 97% of scientists who agree global warming is driven by human activities. And it has consistently lobbied on behalf of energy utilities against renewables. Please check out Kert's blog post. It's an eye opener.
- Speaking of eye openers, NRDC's Aliya Haq exposed ALEC's comprehensive schemes to go guerilla-style on the EPA. Aliya puts it better than we can, and we definitely suggest you check her post out. But to give you a basic rundown, the EPA is on the verge of setting new carbon emissions limits for power plants, for the first time ever. This would be historic—power plants are the biggest source of emissions in the country. These limits would of course impact energy utilities in a big way. ALEC has gone on the attack on their behalf, waging smear campaigns against the EPA and supporting legislation in ten states that would limit state governments' ability to enforce the new EPA standards.
- Rounding out Aliya's and Kert's analysis of ALEC climate obstructionism were two more great posts: In one, Union of Concerned Scientists' Sam Gomberg looks into ALEC's efforts to roll back Ohio's impressive gains in renewables and efficiency standards.
- Meanwhile over at DeSmogBlog, Steve Horn documents the progress of two bills currently in the Florida legislature. Both of them are Exxon-and-ALEC-backed policy that would deeply damage transparency over the chemicals used in fracking. These "disclosure" laws are so full of loopholes with telling nicknames—anything people refer to as the "Haliborton loophole" can't be good—that one original Texas legislator who initially sponsored the law lamented, "This disclosure bill has a hole big enough to drive a Mack truck through."
- Over at the Institute for Southern Studies, Sue Sturgis documents how ALEC teamed with Duke Energy in its national efforts to fight stricter regulations on coal ash. If passed, those regulations would have paved the way for safer storage of coal ash, a toxic byproduct of coal burning. Had they gone through—instead of being blocked through the actions of ALEC and Duke—Duke's huge spill in North Carolina earlier this month may have been avoided.
- Continuing on the Duke/ALEC connection, Gabe Elsner over at the Energy & Policy Institute has been writing about Duke's and ALEC's combined efforts to attack net metering in North Carolina, while exposing similar anti-solar energy efforts in Washington state and Kansas. Obviously, any program that would pay homeowners for sending excess electricity produced by their own rooftop solar installations back to the grid would be bad for big utilities. But it would be a positive in almost all other respects. The lengths to which ALEC has fought to defeat such a cornerstone of good renewable energy policy speak volumes about how scared the very notion makes big electric utilities.
And the good news…
Remember how we mentioned there was some of that?
Last week we sent out letters to nine electric utilities that have been listed as sponsors of or donors to ALEC. Almost immediately after we sent those letters out, we heard back from MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. Their representative told us that MidAmerican, along with their subsidiaries PacificCorp and NV Energy have disassociated from ALEC with no plans to rejoin. Though their announcement to Greenpeace should not be considered permanent, it is a gesture by an electric utility toward participatory democracy.
Still, laggards like Duke Energy and American Electric Power remain in ALEC's solar system, manipulating state laws with no disclosure to the people affected by them.
Stay tuned for updates.

September 25, 1999 ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL DAY FOR HOOSIERS AT INVITATIONAL Bloomington, Ind.--The Hoosiers once again looked impressive as they finished day two of the Indiana Fall invitational today. The tournament, which includes eight flighted singles draws and two flighted doubles draws, has the women competing against players from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC), Ball State, Kansas, Marquette, Miami (OH), Notre Dame, Southern Illinois and Western Michigan.
All of the Hoosier teams split their morning doubles matches. In Flight 1, seniors Jessica Anderson and Becky Wallihan lost their opening match to Notre Dame's Lindsey Green and Kelly Zalinski 8-4, before capturing 3rd Place with a win over Larissa Chinwah and Nikki Thompson of Western Michigan 8-4. Also in Flight 1, senior Zahra Ahamed and junior Kelly Blanch won their opening match of the day against Southern Illinois' Ericka Ochoa and Ana Serrot 8-0, before losing to Pamela Floro and Simona Petrutiu of Southern Illinois 8-6 to finish in 10th Place.
In Flight 2, freshman Jessica Levin and sophomore Ann Poosuthasee were victorious over Notre Dame's Katie Cuhna and Sarah Scaringe 8-6 to earn a spot in the finals. They were unable to defeat Marquette's Christine DeMasi and Julia Sapozhnikova 8-6, as they settled for 2nd Place. Junior Jennifer Hsia and freshman Karie Schlukebir lost their opening match in Flight 2 to Ball State's Julie Beekman and Susie Miller 8-2. They finished off the day with a victory over Miami (OH)'s Natalie Adams and Gwen Sikora 8-6 for a 7th Place finish.
In singles, the Hoosiers took five out of the seven matches and are set up to play for first place in four draws tomorrow. In Flight 1, Anderson defeated Notre Dame's Kelly Zalinski 6-1,6-1 and will play ABAC's Milena Stanoytcheva tomorrow for 1st Place. In flight 2, Ahamed lost a close match to Notre Dame's Lindsey Green 7-5,7-6 and will face Cheryl Mallaiah of Kansas for 3rd Place tomorrow. Blanch, playing in Flight 3, was victorious over Marquette's Sara Fernandez 6-3,6-2 to earn a spot against Ball State's Julie Beekman for 1st place tomorrow. Levin also will play for 1st Place tomorrow as she defeated Alyson Gabel 6-1,6-0 today, setting up a match against Julia Sidorova of Kansas. In Flight 6, Hsia ousted Ball State's Susie Miller 7-5,6-2 to set up a 1st Place match against Western Michigan's Kendra Becker. Wallihan narrowly lost to Western Michigan's Mindy Champion 4-6,6-2,7-5 in Flight 7 and will face Gwen Sikora of Miami (OH) in a 3rd Place match tomorrow. In Flight 8, Schlukebir looked strong as she defeated Miami of Ohio's Lisa Eidam 8-5 and will play Notre Dame's Michelle Hamiliton tomorrow.
Head Coach Lin Loring said, "Our singles play is further along this year than it was at this time last year. Unfortunely, our doubles play is not. We have several weaknesses in doubles that we need to correct."
A round of singles tomorrow will end the Indiana Fall Invitational. The matches will begin at 9 a.m. and will take place at the Indiana University Varsity Courts and the tennis courts on Law Lane.

Combine-Ghost Bear War
Sarna News
The Combine-Ghost Bear War was a conflict between the Draconis Combine and the Ghost Bear Dominion. Occurring in the midst of the FedCom Civil War, the conflict also revealed the continued manipulations of the Kokuryu-kai, or Black Dragon Society, in the Combine.
In 3062 as the conflict between the Lyran Alliance and the Davion half of Federated Commonwealth slid toward open warfare, the Kokuryu-kai convinced the four Alshain Avengers regiments, the remains of the pre-Clan Invasion Alshain Regulars, to launch an attack to recapture Alshain. As the former Alshain Military District capital, the recapture of Alshain was meant to force the DCMS as a whole to finally recapture all Combine worlds lost to the Ghost Bears.[1][2]
What they did not know was that Alshain had become the heavily defended capital of the Ghost Bear Dominion, with the Ghost Bear Clan having relocated almost all of its assets to its Inner Sphere Occupation Zone. Induced by a vision, Clan Nova Cat destroyed one of the Avenger regiments before it could travel to Alshain, but unbowed the three surviving Alshain Avengers launched their suicidal assault, losing half a regiment fighting their way down from orbit due to defending Ghost Bear WarShips, before effectively being obliterated on the surface. As the Avenger survivors fled into the wilderness to launch a desperate guerrilla war, the Ghost Bear Touman launched a retaliatory invasion of the Combine, striking across the entire border between the two powers, including territory held by the Nova Cats.[1][2]
Initially the invasion was incredibly successful, in part due to the fact that Coordinator Theodore Kurita was in the process of relocating his Ghost Regiments to the Federated Commonwealth border to protect his nation from any spill-over from the looming FedCom Civil War. He was forced to bring the Ghosts back to the Ghost Bear border, only to have forces from the Draconis March, led by Duke James Sandoval, to launch an invasion of their own, retaliation for the incursion of a border region known as the Lyons Thumb by units masquerading as Combine and mercenary troops. This invasion was also successful and captured important worlds such as Al Na'ir, Marduk, Proserpina, and Ashio. Meanwhile the Ghost Bears suffered reversals of their own. While the Combine lost worlds to the Ghost Bears, the DCMS's valiant efforts and counter-attacks made each victory costly and at the suggestion of Vlad Ward of Clan Wolf, Clan Hell's Horses then struck at the Ghost Bear's weakened flank.[1][2]
With both sides now looking for a way to honorably extricate themselves from the conflict, Coordinator Theodore and Khan Bjorn Jorgensson negotiated a settlement which would appease everyone in 3063. Both agreed to return whatever worlds they had conquered to their original owners and instead fight a Trial of Possession for Courchevel, which the Ghost Bears won. With peace between them both sides were able to turn their attention back onto their other opponents.[2][3]
While having captured six worlds Duke Sandoval's forces were ill-supplied, most of their logistical support tied up in the civil war, and Combine forces were able to defeat them with relative ease. In December of 3064, in what became known as the DCMS Reprisal, Combine forces invaded the Draconis March and fought for two years, the conflict finally ending with the ceding of two contested worlds to the Combine following negotiations with Baron Tancred Sandoval. The indecisive nature by which the Coordinator had allowed these conflicts to end cost him some support within the Combine, though it was suspected that the Black Dragon Society had been responsible for starting them.[3]
Meanwhile the Ghost Bears' response to the Hell's Horses Clan attack proceeded faster and more aggressively than anyone suspected: not only did they succeed in retaking all of their lost territory, they completely expelled the Hell's Horses from the Inner Sphere by conquering all three of their worlds. They would also go on to capture Gunzburg and, eventually, Rasalhague from Clan Wolf for their part in goading the Hell's Horses into attacking.[2][3]

I'd rather say that C# is no better than Java. I am a Java expert and the way microsoft has copied Java to make C# is just preposterous!
Whatever! I just dont like integration of metro UI in Windows PC operating system. Its just not done. Sounds impractical to me. I dont know why but this new OS should only be for tablets.
And I hope they fix bugs this time. I'd assume that the new Windows 8 would not have blue screen of death issues.
I'm no expert but if you mean copied java as in, copied the syntex, then yes, that was the goal/idea from the start.
No BSODs are nice but all it takes, on any system is a hardware failure or a bad driver and that's just something MS can't really control on their side.

San Francisco/Sutro Baths
From wiki.travel.com
The Sutro Baths were a large privately owned swimming pool complex in San Francisco built in the late 19th century. The building housing the baths burned down in 1966 and was abandoned. The ruins may still be visited.
On March 4, 1896 the Sutro Baths was opened to the public as the world's largest indoor swimming pool establishment. Built on the sleepy western side of San Francisco by wealthy entrepreneur and former mayor of San Francisco (1894-1896), Adolph Sutro, the breathtakingly vast glass, iron, wood, and reinforced concrete structure was mostly hidden in, and literally filled, a small beach inlet below the Cliff House which was also owned by Adolph Sutro at the time. Both the Cliff House and the former Baths site are now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and operated by the United States National Park Service.
A visitor to the baths not only had a choice of 7 different swimming pools—one fresh water and six salt water baths ranging in temperatures—but could visit a museum displaying Sutro's large and varied personal collection of artifacts from his travels, a concert hall, seating for 8,000, and, at one time, an ice skating rink. During high tides, water would flow directly into the pools from the nearby ocean, recycling the 2 million US gallons (7,600 m³) of water in about an hour. During low tides, a powerful turbine water pump, built inside a cave at sea level, could be switched on from a control room and could fill the tanks at a rate of 6,000 US gallons a minute (380 L/s), recycling all the water in five hours.
The baths struggled for years, mostly due to the very high operating and maintenance costs, and eventually closed. A fire destroyed the building in 1966 shortly after, while in the process of being demolished. All that remains of the site are a labyrinth of cement skeletal remains, blocked off stairs and passageways, and a dark tunnel with a deep crevice in the middle. The Sutro Bath ruins are open to the public, but a warning sign advises strict caution, as visitors have been swept off by large waves and drowned at the site.
Currently, visitors coming to the Sutro Baths from the above parking lot are presented with a sign that describes the history of Sutro Baths starting from its construction and glamorous opening to the public in 1896. Another sign describes the later years of the site's history up until its demolition and complete destruction by fire in 1966. As one walks up out of the ruins toward the historic Cliff House, home to "Sutro's Diner", "The Bistro", the "Terrace Room", and other dining/reception facilities, one can find other pictures, paintings, and relics from the golden age of Sutro Baths' functional operation.
Additionally, inside one of the cement pits, someone took the time to scribble out a paragraph apparently describing what Adolph Sutro had hoped to achieve in building the baths, but much of the writing has been covered by more recent graffiti.
Seal Rock is just offshore from the bath ruins.

Buying your first home can be a strenuous and emotionally toilsome experience. From getting your mind around the concept of committing yourself to purchasing your first home to preparing yourself financially to endure the process. Today's tip is part of a two part series that highlights a constructive approach to reducing some of the stress and anxiety this process can generate.First step, start from the bottom. Make an affirmative decision that owning your first home is something that you really want to do and not the dream of cousin ricky on your father's cousin side. Next, do some financial spring cleaning. Take a hard look at your current credit standing. Order a copy of your credit report. You can obtain free copy of your report from websites such as consumerinfo.com, freecreditreport.com and other similiar sites. If your credit standing is a little shaky that's ok. Work on paying down your debts and removing any erroneous red flags to rebuild your reputable credit standing. Once you have a clear understanding of where you stand financially next figure out what you would you really want out of your new home. Make a checklist of everything that you would like your new home to have and what you are not willing to marginalize. Some examples of that could be: spacious backyard, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully detatached home, etc. This list extremely important because your next step will be locating a reputable realtor. This list will provide the realtor with important information about your likes and dislikes and would allow them to be able to effectively show you properties that are worth your consideration. Tomorrow we will take a look into getting prequalified, crunching the numbers and all of the additional costs that we can easily overlook.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Actually this happened a few months back. They have been around a while,
and managed to wrangle one of VAs early folk (Douglas Bone, employee #4 or
5) to be COO. They have moved into the downstairs of the VA HQ and occupy
a few cubes as well as the former VA RMA and HW Labs. I've met a few of
the guys there and they seem nice. But I now have more HW at home than I
could reasonably afford to use ;)
Anyone looking for some slightly used 'pyooters?

My Most Popular Shots On Flickr
(Based on views)
I've been posting images on Flickr on and off since July 2007. That's almost five years. I have about 600 images there. Of the 600, only four have more than 10,000 views each. I think it's very telling that half of the popular photos are a picture of a pretty girl and gear porn. Photographers are indeed predictable.
Here they are in no particular order. Next time I do this I'll do it based on number of comments and see how that skews the results.

Chile Marketing Guru Ed Avalos Appointed by President Obama
Posted by: Dave DeWitt on Apr 23, 2009
Ed Avalos, currently marketing director of the New Mexico Department of Agriculture, has been nominated by President Obama as Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Ed has 34 years experience in agriculture marketing including the on-going 12-state green chile pepper promotion which yearly generates over $26 million in retail sales. I helped Ed, along with El Pinto Restaurant and Salsa, create the World's Largest Chile Ristra that was displayed last year at the New Mexico State Fair. In the international arena, Ed has worked in Mexico, Japan, China, Canada, and Latin America. In the 1990's, pecans were exported to Japan and the Pacific Rim and most recently, the marketing team successfully established a pecan market in China. The SuperSite congratulates Ed on his continuing success in promoting New Mexico agricultural products.

On his real birth day

WAIT A minute, didn't we just celebrate Washington's Birthday back on the 17th? Yes, but that was his birthday on the legal calendar, even though he tends to be thrown in with all the other presidents who are honored on what's now called Presidents' Day in the ads—presumably in honor of them all.

The appalling situation in Zimbabwe's prisons has yet again come under the spotlight, with scores of babies languishing in jail with their mothers, while many inmates have been in prison for years awaiting trial.
The head of the prison services, retired major general Paradzai Zimondi, revealed the details during a rare press conference on Friday. He said there are at least 69 infants in prisons.
Zimondi appealed for help over the plight of the infants and expressed concern over delays in bringing prisoners to trial, which he said is causing overcrowding.
Journalists who toured Harare Remand Prison say there are many inmates who have spent many years in jail awaiting trial.
69 year old Jonathan Mutzinze told the Daily News he has been in prison for the past 15 years, following his arrest in 1998 for purchasing a stolen vehicle. He blamed his long incarceration to delays in the judiciary process.
Other prisoners include MDC councillor Tungamirai Madzokere, who is part of the 29 Glen View residents accused of killing a police officer in 2011. He has been in remand prison for almost two years.
There are 150 foreigners from countries such as Pakistan, South Africa and Malawi who have spent several months in detention and live in unspeakable conditions in prison.
Last year a shocking report by the Senate's Human Rights Committee revealed that Khami prison just outside Bulawayo, which houses over 2,000 convicts, was in a shocking state. The maximum security section had no doors and prison officers were using handcuffs to make sure prisoners did not bolt.
Justice and legal affairs deputy minister Obert Gutu said the prison system in the countries' 47 prisons, remains critical but is not as dire as it was a couple of years ago.
"Although our inmates are not getting food as per our statutory instrument, the situation has improved and at least they are getting food everyday now."
The minister said the challenge was to have the prisons run as correctional facilities and not as conventional jails.
He also said the Zimbabwe Prisons Services could help the cash-strapped treasury to run the various farms under its control more profitably.
Gutu told SW Radio Africa that Chikurubi is one of the best commercials farms in Zimbabwe, with more than 850 hectares of prime land.
"If that farm is run professionally, this problem of food in our prisons would be a thing of the past."
Gutu also said the problems in Zimbabwe's prisons are a "microcosm' of the entire national challenges facing the nation. He said Zimbabwe has to first sort out the political and economic policies for standards, across-the-board, to improve in the country.
However he said the new draft constitution, set to be tabled in parliament this week, stipulates that children should not be jailed with their mothers.

You lucky, lucky people! There are lots of fantastic ways you can tune in to the delights of FIP.
Here's a few ways.
Listen Via iPhone
There's a really nice Fip app in the App Store which you can download for free. It works really well on both wifi and 3G (we know because we've been running it for ages!)
Listen Via The Internet
The lovely people at Fip are so good to us. They've made their own little player that you can download for your PC, Mac, Windows Mobile or iPhone. Doesn't it look lovely? We've tried it on our office PC's and we love it. It's quite safe to download so don't worry about finding nasty surprises.
You can download it from the Fip website here or if you want the full link to click it's http://sites.radiofrance.fr/chaines/fip/evenements/applications/. Thanks to Robert Douglas for letting us know about this.
Listen Via Satellite
FIP is available on the following satellites;
- Astra 19° E
- Hotbird 13.0° E
- Atlantic Bird 3 5° W
We've been doing some research on the various satellite feeds recently and having listened to both Hotbird and Atlantic simultaneously, we found that Atlantic Bird 3 does not carry the Paris traffic reports or the occasional back announcements about the music that's being played. So there!
News Flash!
Interruption to FIP on Satellite
10th July 2008
As from the 1st of July 2008 FIP has been unavailable on the Astra and Hotbird satellites. This is apparently due to Canal Plus demanding a substantial increase in fees for carrying the Radio France services on their channels at renewal of contract negotiations. Services may be resumed at a future date subject to agreement.
FIP is still available by satellite on the Atlantic Bird 3 at 5 degrees west, and via the Internet.
The French text of the Radio France announcement is here:
It seems that the instructions below no longer work. We've tried the old radio player and the new Internet Radio application from Nokia, but neither of them will stream. Does anybody have a way of getting it to work?? Nobody here can get it going :(
Listen on the Nokia E Series Mobile Phone
If you're really technically minded and if you have a Nokia E-series device – Nokia E50, E60, E61, E61i, E62, E65, E70 and E90 you can listen to FIP using Nokia's Open Source Internet Radio Client and a *GREAT* PLS file.
The pls file contains about 75 radio stations and is being constantly updated.
It is available for download here.
Just download the file and transfer it to your shoutcast directory.
You might need restart the radio application before the new PLS file is recognized and shows up.
For those who want to listen to FIP and France Inter, just create a PLS file with the following:
Title1=FRANCE INTER
Listen on the Nokia N95 Mobile Phone
If you have a Nokia N95 mobile phone you can also listen to FIP using Nokia's Open Source Internet Radio Client and a PLS file.
A handy tip: Install the 2 programs onto your memory card. You can then access the shoutcast directory
Just create the pls file and transfer it to your shoutcast directory.
You might need restart the radio application before the new PLS file is recognized and shows up.
If you have a wireless LAN you can then stream through your phone all over the house!

By Ryan Franklin
In the third week of the outdoor track and field season, Eastern Connecticut visited the New London to run, jump, and throw on Coast Guard's track overlooking the water.
Brody Secore of South Windsor once again came ready to compete and lowered his college best 800 from 1:59.39 to 1:57.98 to place fourth and in the process getting closer to his lifetime personal best of 1:55 ran at New England's in his senior year of high school. Also shining amongst the mid-distance athletes was Tim Callahan of Portland, who ran an incredible 50.38 at 400 meters, placing third in a strong field and qualifying for Division III New England's. Ryan Franklin of Glastonbury ran the Warriors' fastest 1500 of the season thus far by running a personal best of 4:20.87, dropping ten seconds from his time at the Bridgewater meet.
In sprints, sophomore Corey Simpson ran a speedy 23.17 to place second in the 200. In the jumps, Alex Verrill of Hiram, Maine placed third in the high jump and seventh in the long jump, while Ryan Wood of Southington once again placed sixth in the triple jump. Josh Fish of Bozrah placed seventh by vaulting 12-1 1/2 .
On the long distance side, Sam Buzcek of Milford bested his Bridgewater 5000 meters by fourteen seconds, running a 16:35.36 to finish twelve overall and first of seventh of Warriors. Ken Landry of East Hampton in his first 5K on the track ran a very respectable 17:10.60.

Watkins Notches First Career 9.9
Jan. 18, 2013
DURHAM, N.H. - Freshman Brittni Watkins recorded her first career 9.9 on floor, as the NC State Wolfpack were edged by the New Hampshire Wildcats, 193.850-193.525. Watkins' score of 9.9 was also the highest score of night by any gymnast.
"Overall, as young as some of the kids are and some of them haven't competed in all of the events, it's a growing period for us and we're going to do nothing but get better from it," said head coach Mark Stevenson.
NC State started the meet on bars and struggled slightly, posting a team score of 47.100. Senior Rachel Fincham tallied the highest score in the event with a 9.825, earning a tie for first place. Junior Stephanie Ouellette registered the next best score for the Pack with a 9.750, while junior Heidi Ffield scored a 9.550.
"It was just little mistakes in a couple of our newer routines, but we'll keep working on it to get better," said Stevenson.
Junior Diahanna Ham was once again stellar on vault, notching the event's top score with a 9.850. Ouellette and Watkins each recorded 9.8s, while freshman Michaela Woodford scored a 9.750. Senior Morgan Johnson and junior Hannah Fallanca rounded out the team's performance on vault, registering 9.7 and 9.675, respectively. As a squad, State posted a score of 48.900.
At the meet's halfway point, NC State trailed New Hampshire 96.725-96.000.
In addition to Watkins' career-best score on the floor exercise, sophomore Lane Jarred notched the second highest score for the Pack with a 9.7, while Fincham scored a 9.675. The Wolfpack ended the event with a team score of 48.375.
State closed out the night on beam, posting the highest team score of the night with a seasons-best 49.150. Fallanca and Jarred paced the group with 9.85s, tying for first. Fincham and Woodford notched the next highest scores with 9.825s, good for third. Ham scored a 9.8, while Ouellette tallied a 9.725. The Wolfpack claimed all three podium spots in the event, finishing first, second and third.
"We struggled somewhat on floor and through the first three events, but we had a conversation about the things that define a team and how they respond to adversity is one of them," said Stevenson. "So we defined ourselves by posting our highest score of the night on beam, so I was really proud of how they finished."
In the all-around, Ouellette claimed first with a 38.850, while Ham snagged third with a 38.200.
NC State returns to action on Friday, Jan. 25 at home against the West Virginia Mountaineers. The meet is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults (18 & older) and $3 for senior citizens (65 & older).
