Excite Mail problems persist for 48 hours

Hotmail hit by new round of problemsJune 29, 1999
Between 10 percent and 15 percent of Excite Mail's users have been without service for as long as 48 hours, according to Excite@Home spokeswoman Melissa Walia. The company does not disclose how many people use its Excite Mail service, but more than 38 million people have registered to use Excite.com, the Internet portal business of Excite@Home.
"We have had a hardware failure associated with one of our storage machines," Walia said.
Service is expected to be restored by 9 p.m. PT today, according to the company.
But some users have complained in emails to CNET News.com that Excite already has pushed back its expected restoration time on several occasions. "We're working with our mail customers to give them constant updates on our status," Walia said.
Jeff Edgett, a 22-year-old Web developer in Alexandria, Virginia, said he first experienced an error message indicating too many users on the system Wednesday night.
"It makes me mad," Edgett said. "I was trying to get a message, and the only way I had to get in touch with that person was through email."
Affected users will receive their email once the problem has been resolved, according to the company. "No data will be lost," Walia said.
As reported, the Excite Mail service also had problems earlier this week. Some users of Excite Mail experienced sluggish access to their Web-based email because of a spike in usage after the Labor Day holiday weekend, Walia said.
Service glitches are nothing new for the free Web-based email market.
Microsoft's Hotmail has suffered a series of woes in recent years, with outages most recently in June.
Similarly, online auction site eBay has inspired the ire of many users after a string of service outages in recent months.

- The problem has gotten worse and worse for me ever since they came out with their new email tool. I have used this service for over ten years and have never had the kinds of continuing problems i have now. It is sluggish to load and clunky during usage and the last time i tried to log in it stopped at "loading application" and locked up my computer until i was able to close that tab. The ads all seem to still work however.

- I definitely agree this problem has gotten worse. I have tried to access my email account for the past couple of days with no luck. It was very sluggish to load and eventually froze up during the "loading application" on my computer also. I had sent some emails to a friend that also uses excite and he said that he hadn't received anything from me in a couple of days. He also told me he was able to access his account yesterday and then not again until almost 24hrs. later.

- I have been having serious trouble with my Excite Account. This has been my primary account for many years and I am so dissapointed. The system won't load, has lost my contacts, locks up my computer and rejects incoming emails. Since I also use this account for business, it is causing both private and professional hardships for me. Excite users should start contacting thoes companies who are paying to advertise on the email accounts and let them know how they are wasting their money. Once I can retrieve my contacts and notify everyone, I am going to leave Excite forever.

- I also agree that since things have changed it takes much longer to check my e-mail and more times than not I can't even read them due to "error on page"

- Oh, it's been longer than that..... for me.
Apparently, I was volunteered as one of the first to be forced into using this worthless beta. I would never have opted for this junk. It is absolutely no good. Been using the same address for over three years. Send and receive important documents throught this address. Now, I really don't know what's happened to some of my old files, Can't be replaced. I requested to use the old system due to difficulties, however, not an option. The cream of the crop is that it sucks! Keeps flooding my inbox and spam box with spam. Oh, I deleat so many it's not funny. However, the more I deleat, the more they return. The SAME e-mails! I feel like a pawn for their advertisment budget. Since I don't pay for the e-mail, I guess They have to get something out of me. Tell you what...... I can't even use it, really! trying to find all my stuff and switch to another provider. It is such a pain. The Do Right Association says there should be a law. ........... Or something. Everything's becoming so misleading. Getting out of hand

- I have been a PAYING EXCITE member for several years. The service has NEVER been this bad and it all began after the e mail upgrade. All the blogs and posts I have read are the same problems I have expereinceing. I very OFTEN cannot get into my e mail account. If I get past the initial load it freezes in the middle and I get an error on page. I wrote to excite help and did not get anywhere. I will not renew unless the problems are fixed. It wasn't broken to begin with. Don't know why it is takeing so long to make it right.

- I'm sick of Ecite not working properly, so I switched to Gmail and it is quite faster. I have sent Excite numerous emails to support and have not received a response. I put my phone number in there and still nothing. There is no way to receive a response from them, because you cannot access the email. I have been experiencing this problem for a week now. The page will not load. I suggest emailing or calling all the people you correspond through email and let them know that you have a new email address, because I suspect the Excite may not be around much longer. Freaking retards.

- Why I cannot open my Excite Mail in excite.com??? I am having problem for 2 straight days. I need to check my emails. Can you provide me with excite.com email address or let them know I have problem to open my excite mail. Maybe other members having problem too, or Excite website has technical problems. I need to know what is the real problem here, I am going crazy. Marc

text: One of the drawbacks to a sudden rise to stardom is that early movies the actor might then rather have stay buried quickly see the light of day. Such is the story with "Tarantella," an earnest but weak little film that would be gathering dust on a distributor's shelf if not for Mira Sorvino's Oscar-nominated breakthrough performance in "Mighty Aphrodite." Sorvino stars here as Diana Di Sorella, an ambitious big-city photographer who has done her best to distance herself from her working-class Italian roots but is forced to revisit the old neighborhood when her widowed mother dies and Diana must oversee the dismantling of the family estate. Once home, Diana is visited by her mother's best friend, Pina (Rose Gregorio), who cooks her gnocchi and begins to translate tidbit by tidbit, from her mother's "Libro di Casa," a scrapbook of recipes, sketches and, most importantly, stories of the mother's experience as an immigrant. Director/co-writer Helen De Michiel, heavy-handed throughout, suffers from a glacial sense of pacing, but she provides one interesting innovation: illustrating the tales of the family history with a traditional Italian puppet show designed by Sandy Spieler. Other than that, "Tarantella" plays out on the level of an "Afterschool Special," and an awkward one to boot, with Sorvino's endearing performance not quite saving the day. As skeletons in the closet go, "Tarantella" is relatively harmless, and it reaffirms Sorvino's status as an actress with a bright future. Starring Mira Sorvino, Rose Gregorio, Matthew Lillard and Frank Pellegrino. Directed by Helen De Michiel. Written by Helen De Michiel and Richard Hoblock. Produced by George LaVoo. A Tara release. Drama. Not rated. Running time: 87 min.

Chaz Bono may not have been the most talented Dancing With the Stars Season 13 star, but he displayed more heart and courage than anyone. Controversy surrounded him from the beginning of the season because he is transgendered, but he never let that stop him from proudly shaking his stuff on the dance floor.
He stuck with that message of inspiration after being eliminated during the Week 6 Results Show. Moments after hearing the disappointing news, he delivered this moving speech in which he explained the importance of his success on the show: "I came on this show [because] I wanted to show America a different kind of man."

Comedian Stephen Colbert makes fun of Bob Filner on 'The Colbert Report'
Colbert performs own version of 'Filner dance'
SAN DIEGO - Comedian Stephen Colbert poked fun at the situation surrounding Mayor Bob Filner and the city of San Diego on his show Thursday night.
"We've got another political sex scandal! This time involving San Diego Mayor Bob Filner … shocking, I know. I always thought that chicken was the mayor," Colbert said on Thursday night's episode of "The Colbert Report."
Colbert lampooned the mayor, making fun of the so-called "Filner dance" -- which some say happens when women try to avoid Filner's advances.
"I think I just sexually harassed myself," Colbert said after performing his version of the "Filner dance."
"Yes, the Filner dance; because sexually harassing people Gangnam Style is so 2012," added Colbert.
Filner has garnered national news attention ever since a Team 10 report that led to the investigation. But with Colbert's words, San Diego became a punchline.
Colbert played a part of the now-famous apology video, specifically focusing on the part of the statement in which Filner says, "I've reached into my heart and soul and realized I must and will change my behavior."
Colbert responded, "See? This man reaches into hearts and souls and it's not his fault … sometimes there's [expletive] in the way."
Colbert ended the segment comparing Filner to Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner, saying both had not only survived scandal but now seem poised for political comebacks.

The European Southern Observatory has decided to continue work in Chile on one of the world's most ambitious telescopes, despite a land claim which has left a question mark hanging over the project.
Last week, the ESO's governing council decided to push ahead with the building of four 8.2-metre telescopes and three 1.8-metre telescopes at the top of Cerro Paranal in Chile's Atacama desert. But the council decided to continue studies into other possible sites, including a mountain in Namibia.
The descendants of Chilean war hero Admiral Juan Jose Latorre claim that the Very Large Telescope is being built on their land. The influential family is backed by a group of powerful MPs.
The ESO and the Chilean government are currently negotiating a deal which would give the ESO international status similar to the UN, making it immune from legal claims against it. This would also apply to its other ...

Ruth Buzzy Sarah Jessica Parker reunited with her old Sex and the City co-star Cynthia Nixon (who happens to be, as you know, into the same sex… and the city.) Continuing on with her role as Carrie, the ultimate c-tease, it looks like SJP is doing her best to work Cynthia up to a frenzy in these pictures. Whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Comforting her with a gentle hand hold. Reminding her what a big, phallic nose is capable of. And then leaving her all hot and bothered as she goes home to cuddle with Ferris Bueller. But that's just Carrie being Carrie. Bitch.

Goodbye Gilmore Girls, Hello Heartbreak
So the big news is that The Gilmore Girls is nearing it's last season, as the show's creators have jumped ship. I personally never really liked the show, but I find myself distraught over the news. Mainly, because I have a feeling Gilmore fans are very co-dependant and will not take this information lightly.
No question, among the Gilmore community, there will be a lot tears, a lot of blame foisted on ex-boyfriends, plenty of Wiccan pray circles, an unhealthy amount of chocolate cake, mandatory book club meetings, plenty of aromatherapy, and nonstop Build-a-Bear workshops.
You are such a strong group of people and you've been through so much together, from Rory's rebellion to Lorelai's rollercoaster relationship. But you've managed to pull through with all the wit and candor of a personalized pillow. The hard truth is that there will never be another show set in a quaint B&B town, filled with pleasantly plump people and a mother daughter duo who's banter can only be stopped with a fying pan to the skull. No they were one of a kind. But they're not Gilmore Girls anymore, they're Gilmore Women and you need to let them go. Believe me, their spirit will live on in the souls of shows like The Ghost Whisperer, Beautiful People and Starting Over. And those shows will never get canceled.
While You Were Verbally Assualting Your Co-Workers or Being Creative
- Lindsay Lohan gets an intervention from SNL cast. Not a show give advice on sobering up.
- Jessica Simpson is wearing her ring again. Marriage may be a sham, but the diamond's not.

- K-fed is performing tracks off his new album in Vegas. Lets hope it stays in Vegas.
- Snoop Dogg is publishing his first fictional novel about a young man from Southern California struggling to make it in hip-hop. But first he'll have to learn what the word fiction means.

"Ugly Naked Guy" Had To Come From Somewhere…
Over at the Jane blog, Lindsay Robertson has some good comments on today's California Supreme Court ruling against the woman who sued the writing staff of Friends for sexual harassment.
If you're not familiar with the case, a female writers' assistant, years after being terminated from the show, decided that many of the comments and ideas she was exposed to in the "writers room" constituted sexual harrassment, then filed a lawsuit that raised many greater questions about the appropriate nature of a creative environment.
Luckily, by ruling against this opportunistic person, the court upheld the sanctity of the writers' room, and I can continue making inappropriate and salacious sexual remarks to Piper all day, per usual.
Pete Doherty Arrested Again, Again
This has got to be some kind of world record. Troubled rocker Pete Doherty, only 3 hours after appearing in court and being spared jail time on drug charges from an arrest last month, has been arrested yet again, totally demolishing his previous personal best time of 8 hours back in January. To give you some perspective, Bob posted about Pete's victorious court appearance today slightly more than an hour ago, and Pete has now gotten himself arrested again. How can we even keep up?
It's Time For Some Kick-Ass Music

Paul's Blog is the place to be. Or you can pre-order the album on Amazon. Be careful Chuck Norris… your reign as the Number 1 karate-chopping white guy go-to punchline may be over.

The long running feud between Fall Out Boy and The Killers is finally over. Wannabe punk kids and wannabe hipster kids can now once again walk the streets hand in hand… to get made fun of by wannabe hip hop kids.
- Language experts have concluded that there is no record of the name Suri meaning "princess" in Hebrew. Suri about that, Tom.
- Halle Berry used to dream of finding a pill that could turn her white when she was a child. AS expected, the dream always involved going through Michael Jackson's stuff.
- At his most recent court hearing, a judge ruled that Pete Doherty will be banned from driving a car for six months. Smoking crack and shooting heroin into his veins, though, is still totally cool.
- MySpace is streaming the new Streets album for free, while VH1 is streaming the new Goo Goo Dolls album. Congratulations to VH1 for getting behind a "hip" band to finally lose that whole "VH1 is for old people" image!
- Jesus Christ Superstar to be staged at the second largest Nazi concentration camp in Europe. I'm not touching that one with a ten foot pole (though if I did, the joke would probably begin with "I wonder what's playing at the largest…?)

Photographs of Guineans being humiliated naked in the street during last Monday's opposition crackdown are circulating on the Net. One of our Observers says he witnessed the scene when this photo was taken.
A few days after the brutal repression in Conakry last week, several photos of women being abused by soldiers were posted on the Guinea News forum. We were sent these ghastly images but chose only to publish one, after blurring the face of the victim.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, has called for an investigation in order to bring to justice "all those responsible for carrying out summary executions, rapes and other human rights violations" in what she described as a "bloodbath" at the hands of the Guinea's army.
Lamine Camara (not his real name) works as a journalist for a Guinean radio station. He witnessed the trouble last Monday.
Nankouma, another journalist, was also at the protest. He too saw women singled out and attacked.
Please the world should not false the Guinean who were abuses for Democracy. The international community should not false to act because of their self interest. The interest of humanity come first.
I can not believe something like that happening during those days. They are not afraid doing such crime and until the person who call himself president of Guinea understand that military and civil, politics and military can not give a good blend.
Whether he is military or he is head of state. people citizen of the world, you should refuse receiving such criminal in your country and the united Africa organization need should hold severs sanction on that government but not on free and innocent Guinea citizen. Oh my Africa!!!!
This is the problem of letting the military deal with civilians, this kind of mess always happens.
Where else but amongst the dusty ,desperate streets of yet another African despotic regime...these scenes are as shocking as any we are ever likely to see in any place on Earth.
It's for this reason that African countries will NEVER prosper as they are, it seems, UNIFORMLY unable to subject themselves to a civilized form of governance or rid themselves of these barbaric acts against the laws of humanity.
Shame! How much longer must Africa bleed?
how could this happen ? We are human beings or are we I have seen better than this in the wild . do they have no pride in themselves or there country.to do this to another human being is wrong and each and ever one of them should have to pay for what they did . I for one hope they dearly
this needs to stop... I am an african women and when I hear about issues like our own men being so insensitive to us ... I cry, I die... It seems like no one wants to help us. We are helpless.
such a political act is not to be left unpunished . I don't have any probem with the power of dear Dadis CAmara , but i would like him to remember that a supreme bieng will judge us . I would like international community to know that this is what their are called to react witout delaying in.
No one will react until It is too late. This happens over and over in history, this time wont be different. Let God be with us and our country Guinea.

Department Graduate Institute of Atmospheric Physics Year 2009 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language zh-TW.Big5 Chinese Title The significance and regularity of PAMS observations of Taiwan Date of Defense 2010-06-25 Page Count 99 Keyword detection limt HHT PAMS significant test Abstract The purpose of this study is to find out the confidence level and regularity of VOCs hourly data detected by Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Station (PAMS).The examination consists of two parts. First, We use the detection limit of PAMS species and Hilbert-Huang Transform(HHT) to calculate the degree to reach detection limit of each PAMS species and define it as pass ratio to check the confidence level of observed data. The result of study shows that the value of each PAMS species's pass ratio varies obviously at different location. For example, the pass ratio of most PAMS species are over 70 % at Chunlung and Tsaotun stations, it shows that the PAMS species data observed from those two stations are highly reliable. On the other hand, the Pass ratio of most PAMS species are less than 20 % at Jhushan station, it shows that reliability and confidence level of observed data from this station are lower than Chunlung and Tsaotun stations. Second, after HHT analyzing of PAMS data, check the significance of each Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) of observed data. We then classify the result of detection limit and significance comparison as three kinds of species to find out the value of PAMS species data of Taiwan PAMS stations in further research. First kind is low concentration and irregular species, second kind is high confidence level and regular species. third kind is other species which act between first kind and second kind.
Overall speaking, most PAMS observations of Chunlung and Tsaotun stations have reach detection limit and better significant test result, hence they have higher confidence level and regularity. Although the PAMS species of Jhushan station has less confidence level than Chunlung and Tsaotun stations because of its location at lee, it still can assist Chunlung and Tsaotun stations to discuss PAMS species characteristic of whole central area of Taiwan. Wanhua、Tucheng and Ciaotou stations all locate at urban area and industrial park, so they have higher confidence level of PAMS observation and more PAMS species with regularity. Although Taisi station locate at suburb of southern central area which has lower concentration, but it has fewer PAMS species with low confidence level and regularity. This is because lower threshold value of pass ratio compared to other stations make it has more PAMS species with higher confidence level and regularity. It is supposed Taisi station has more steady pollution PAMS species source, and the main pollution source is No. 6 Naphtha industrial park nearby, therefore even it has low pass ratio we can still find regularity from it. It has a big difference in concluded result between all stations PAMS species, and the analysis process can identify PAMS species with higher confidence level and regularity in every station. It also can filter low concentration and confidence level PAMS species comparatively in every station.

The Best Practices Guide: Best Practices in Managing Benefits During Tough Times
Few companies escaped the extreme financial pressures of the last few years—including The Principal 10 Best Companies for Employee Financial Security—2010. What sets these winning organizations apart, however, is the conscious effort they made to minimize the impact of the recession on employees.
Whether it's maintaining benefits, boosting communication or taking a close look at other costs, The Principal 10 Best Companies used the following best practices to manage benefits while keeping employees' best interests at heart:
- Stand by your employees. As Byron Boslau, chairman and CEO of Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Nebraska, points out, "The need for the benefits doesn't go away during a recession, so just because things are little bit tough right now doesn't mean that we cut back on benefits."
- Cut expenses in other areas. For The Principal 10 Best Companies—2010, cutting benefits or increasing employees' costs are last resorts. Red River Credit Union, for example, made a decision to maintain its benefits by reducing expenses in other areas. "Employees are responsible for our success, so we feel committed to them mutually," says Karen Rhodes, human resources director, Red River Credit Union.
- Plan ahead for downturns. "We learned that it's a lot easier to plan and prioritize ahead of the time when you have to take action," says Rhodes at Red River Credit Union. "We didn't have a crystal ball, but there were signs that we should prepare for things to take a downturn. We planned and prioritized for things we could do before we ever touched employee benefits. That allowed us to weather the storm."
- Create an expense reduction committee. A group of employees helped The Graham Company cut costs without cutting benefits. "They found a lot of ways to save substantial amounts of money without negatively affecting the employees," says Scheuerman.
- Get all employees involved in cutting costs. In 2009, American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) told employees that the organization might not be able to make its five percent discretionary retirement plan contribution. Then they asked for employees' help to reduce expenses.
- "Everyone pulled together, and people were extremely mindful of their spending. At the end of the year, we were able to make the retirement contribution," says Theresa Waters, senior director, HR and administration, AILA. "The key was that we kept them informed at every monthly staff meeting. Everyone felt ownership."
- Ask your financial professional for help. Brokers, advisors and other financial professionals can use their expertise and experience to help control costs when things get tough. Franklin International's broker, for instance, helped the company and employees cut benefit costs while maintaining (or even increasing) benefits levels.
- Take advantage of market opportunities. Reduced demand for benefits due to a recession can lead to bargains for savvy employers. "A lot of smaller companies, when dealing with large insurance companies or benefit providers, feel they don't have any negotiating leverage," says Doug Reys, manager of compensation and benefits at Franklin International. "With the downturn of the economy, that changed very quickly. We were able to get very good savings last year. Employers have to be open to those opportunities when the market changes to take advantage of their position as a purchaser."
- Be available to employees. Economic downturns are stressful for employees. Making human resources representatives available to talk with employees can go a long way toward soothing their worries. "We try to help employees as much as we can within our fiduciary guidelines," says Reys.
- Use benefits to keep employees engaged. Benefits can help employees stay focused on their jobs by reducing their financial worries. "Our employees don't have to worry, 'Am I going to be able to keep my healthcare?'" explains Christy Scheuerman, employee benefits consultant, The Graham Company.
- Take a creative approach. The Delp Company, which provides benefit consulting services to employers, prides itself on taking a problem-solving approach to benefits. "We don't limit ourselves to routine thinking about shopping price and reducing benefits, which is what most do. We look for creative solutions to complex problems. We may identify ways to do partial self-funding, where there are strategic opportunities in the benefit structures," says Cleves Delp, CEO, The Delp Company.
- Help employees make the best use of benefits. Educating employees about their benefits—one-on-one if necessary—is one way The Bolles School helps its employees achieve greater financial security. Recently, the organization worked with several employees to educate them on how to use their pharmacy benefit. As a result, "one employee is now saving just under $3,000 per year on the identical medications," says John E. Trainer, Jr., Ph.D., president and head of school, The Bolles School.
- Minimize the impact of cost increases on employees. When Davidson Technologies had to share a healthcare cost increase with employees, the company decided to increase copays and deductibles instead of increasing premiums across the board. "We wanted to make sure the people who were using the benefit were the ones paying out of pocket," says Pamela Peterson, director—human resources, Davidson Technologies, Inc.
- Focus employees' attention on total compensation. The silver lining is that tough times tend to help employees appreciate what they have. Foster this appreciation by educating employees about their total compensation. According to Claudia Perkins, vice president of human resources, Clif Bar & Company, the recession "increased employee awareness of total compensation and the value of medical benefits and retirement savings plans."
- Offer benefits that can last. "We've always had a long-term focus on our business model," says Perkins at Clif Bar & Company. "The same goes with our benefits. We don't just want to do things for a brief time that we'd have to take away, so we only add things we know we can sustain over time."
- Work with carriers to negotiate costs. Theresa A. Waters, senior director, HR and administration, American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), urges employers to take an active role in benefit negotiations. "You have to get involved, even if you have a broker," she says. "You have to try to work with the carriers to get what you want."
- Communicate. Keeping employees informed about the status of the organization—and its plans to get through tough times—is vitally important during a down economy. You may be surprised at employees' reactions. "We believe in open and timely communication with staff. People want to know how things are affecting them," says Waters at AILA. "Our staff came up with all sorts of ideas to help, down to cutting travel budgets."
- Bring in financial experts to meet with employees. Many of The Principal 10 Best Companies—2010 brought in their retirement plan service providers, advisors and other financial professionals to address employees' financial concerns during the recession.
- Use voluntary benefits to fill any coverage gaps. Davidson Technologies added supplemental coverages—such as a cancer benefit, additional short-term disability, extra hospitalization coverage and more—to further protect employees from financial risks.
- Maintain a sense of normalcy. "I understand we can't have business as usual in all aspects, but I try to keep it as normal as possible even through difficult situations. There will be better times down the road," says Robert Buck, Red River Credit Union's president and CEO.
- Tie company retirement plan contributions to profitability. Part of RLI's retirement plan contribution is contingent on company profitability. "We focus on communicating that link. We'll continue to provide a core benefit and a variable element if performance is there. But if performance declines, the variable elements will decline. It's emotionally a different approach than, 'We've decided to cut your benefits,'" says Jeff Fick, vice president of human resources, RLI.

DES MOINES – North Cedar's fourth straight appearance at the boys' state basketball tournament turned out to be nothing but a bunch of junk.
That's both a description of the ultimate outcome for the Knights in their Class 2A quarterfinal Tuesday afternoon and the way it happened. Treynor threw a junk defense, the triangle-and-two, out there in the fourth quarter and completely flummoxed them for a 61-53 win.
"We have seen it," said North Cedar's Jayden Johnson. "We just kind of got panicked a little bit ... We've got to be ready for anything. Credit to them for stopping us, shutting us down. That's on us."
Jordan Kintzel swished an open 3-pointer 13 seconds into the fourth for a 48-44 North Cedar lead. But those were the last Knights points for exactly seven minutes, a telltale drought few could survive.
Treynor scored 14 points in the span for a 58-48 lead. The two guys the Cardinals played man defense against were leading scorers Johnson and Jacob Hay.
Neither could get a shot. The guys who did couldn't make them.
"We've seen a couple teams do it against us," said Hay, who hit four treys and had 17 points against Treynor's man and zone defenses. "When Jayden and I are both shooting the ball well, I've been kind of a streak shooter this year, we've seen it. We definitely practiced against it. Some of the guys just didn't knock down shots. They were good looks, the guys were confident, they just didn't fall."

Windhoek — Prime Minister Hage Geingob says nobody wants the 'struggle kids' or any other Namibian youth to experience unemployment.
Geingob was reacting to reports about the latest march to Windhoek by the children of the veterans of the liberation struggle, based in the Outapi area in the Omusati Region.
Close to 400 'struggle kids' have embarked on the long and arduous journey covering a distance of close to 700km on foot from the north to Windhoek full of expectations to get an audience with the new Prime Minister and to petition him for jobs
Among them are mothers with their babies, as well as disabled individuals. Geingob told New Era yesterday there are strategies under review that would cater not only for struggle kids, but also other youths in a bid to tackle the high unemployment rate in the country.
"Well firstly, struggle children should know that nobody wants them to suffer. We are parents and freedom fighters too, no one should think that we don't care about them; nor should they just think that other people are not our children, whether they were in exile or not," the Prime Minister told New Era.
"We wouldn't and don't want anybody to be unemployed - whether it is 1 or 10 percent (unemployment rate). Some people think that we don't care, but we care and we are worried," stressed Geingob. He insisted existing laws do not prohibit peaceful demonstrations, but that the 'struggle kids' were given explanations on the consequences of occupying Swapo Party or government offices.
"I am studying what was done by the previous prime minister and there are strategies we want to implement and these have to include everyone. The law is very clear and they have been given an explanation not to occupy Swapo or government offices and to obey the police and the law. I want to emphasise that there is a belief that people think we do not care about struggle kids. That is wrong," he said.
The spokesperson for the group of marchers on their way south, Ndahafa Hamutenya has gone on record saying: "We have been waiting patiently for so long and we saw that government only responds to demonstrators from Oshakati and Windhoek and now we are also demonstrating."
"Well, I wouldn't know about it, and have to verify whether it's true or not. Some people got placement, but they cannot do with the hardships of that placement so they want to get out. Either you get a job or you don't. Some will leave the job and then go and demonstrate since they want a better one," was Geingob's response to the particular charge.
"If it is true, they must not think that demonstration pays. I don't want people to think that demonstration is the key to get a job. Even if you have a good case, the manner in which you present it may have a different outcome," he added.
Group spokesperson Hamutenya, speaking from Oshakati, said the names of the members of her group were registered with different ministries, but some were called into ministries that they did not sign up for, while jobs were given to others on other occasions.
"There was a boy who was called on his cellphone to start work at a school in Kavango. When he went there, he was told the job was given to someone else and that was last month. Last year, a girl was called to go to the police station in Ondangwa, but when she got there she was told to come for the next intake," she said.
However, when asked whether it is true that some had spurned or abandoned posts in search of alternative work, Hamutenya responded that some of them have vocational qualifications, which could better serve them if they were placed in specifically relevant environments.
"We don't want projects. We want jobs. They told us we were placed in different ministries. We used our own money to go to Windhoek only to be turned back at the end. I was in the Ministry of Works and Transport. I am a plumber by profession and I finished in 2007 at the Zambezi Vocational Training Centre, in Katima. They have never called me back," said Hamutenya.
Meanwhile, Ndapalia Ndapandula said she also received a call last year. "They called me and told me to go to Windhoek. I used my own money to go there and then they said that my name is not there? It was last year on October 8."
Hamutenya questioned the criteria used to recruit people in the Omusati Region and urged the government to improve on its "poor" communication skills with the 'struggle kids'.
"If there is nothing for us, they must tell us and not make us look like fools. We will now demonstrate, because they found a loophole and give jobs to the demonstrators in Oshana and Khomas; they should have told them to go back and follow the right procedures."
"We are not satisfied with the way government is treating us. When we asked them, all those things are now coming, what more if we didn't demonstrate? (sic) When will you tell us this? Not even an announcement on radio? We are unhappy, even if they send the police, we are going to meet the prime minister and we are not satisfied with answers from the governor and the regional commander," she said.

Doris Wyatt
Broadview School will be headed by a new principal in the 2012-13 academic year.
Current senior science and math teacher Doris Wyatt will fill the position of principal, vacated by Jesse Bradley.
It was recently announced that Bradley will be leaving Broadview School, where he has acted as teacher, principal and head football coach.
ŌĆ£I think Doris is going to be excellent,ŌĆØ said Bradley. ŌĆ£I hope she builds on what successes weŌĆÖve had here and just keepings growing the school, furthering the agenda and making it a better place for years to come.ŌĆØ
Wyatt was offered the principal position by Prairie Valley School Division on June 10, and accepted the offer on June 11.
Her initial response was one of mixed emotion she said, adding administration was something she wanted to do when she first began teaching but family life became priority.
ŌĆ£I kind of thought that (principal) opportunity was gone, so when it came up this time I first thought no and then I started thinking I might really wonder if IŌĆÖd missed the opportunity,ŌĆØ said Wyatt, who has taught at Broadview School since 1988. ŌĆ£I enjoy teaching. I enjoy the students. I enjoy the staff. And moving into the principalship, I know IŌĆÖm going to miss my time in the classroom.ŌĆØ
While there are a lot of differences between being a teacher and a principal, Bradley agreed the transition from classroom to administration is a quite leap.
ŌĆ£As a classroom teacher you really focus on your own class, whereas principal you need to focus on the entire school. ThatŌĆÖs the biggest shift. Instead of just thinking of your little piece of the school, youŌĆÖre thinking about its entirety.ŌĆØ
Wyatt said her priority- the students- will remain the same, and their achievement will be of utmost importance.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm sure it will be a huge learning curveŌĆ"but I know the community, I know the students, I know the staff. I feel comfortable going into it that way.ŌĆØ
While heŌĆÖs sad to be leaving, Bradley said he wishes the best to Wyatt and Broadview School.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs been an honour to be principal here,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm going to miss everything. I love the town of Broadview- the school, the staff and the students.ŌĆØ
Bradley will relocate to Regina with his fianc├®, Shannon Bellows, later this summer and will become principal at Sedley School.

The big picture: to determine the extent to which lipofuscin, a naturally occurring pigment soluble in fat and found in aging tissues, contributes to vision loss. The objectives for our proposed research are to gather data in order to be able to proceed with a clinical trial designed to evaluate the extent to which C20-D3-vitamin A can impede the formation of ocular lipofuscin as well as to aid in the development of diagnostic methods to evaluate treatment compliance during future clinical trials.
This research investigates a method to slow the formation of ocular lipofuscin, a naturally occurring pigment soluble in fat and found in aging tissues. The development of lipofuscin correlates with the progression of various macular dystrophies and degenerations. As such, methods to halt or reverse the formation of ocular lipofuscin are highly sought after as means to better understand the link between lipofuscin and macular degenerations or dystrophies and as clinical interventions for their treatment. The objectives for our proposed research are to gather data in order to be able to proceed with a clinical trial designed to evaluate the extent to which C20-D3-vitamin A can impede the formation of ocular lipofuscin as well as to aid in the development of diagnostic methods to evaluate treatment compliance during the trial. This trial will help to determine the extent to which lipofuscin contributes to vision loss. The most innovative aspect of this research is that it involves a method to slow down the formation of ocular lipofuscin without interrupting the visual cycle or normal vitamin A metabolism, which can result in poor night vision. At the completion of our study, we anticipate that we will be able to: 1) determine whether treatment with C20-D3-vitamin A would be practical in humans; 2) evaluate the ability of C20-D3-vitamin A to slow lipofuscin formation in another animal model; 3) determine the time it would take for the vitamin to start working in order to better estimate proper dosing in future clinical studies; 4) evaluate whether urine analysis can be used as a potential method to measure treatment compliance in future clinical studies; and 5) elucidate how vitamin A is dynamically used in the body to promote vision and health.
Preliminary results from this research helped attract further support for the development of a drug, called ALK-001, for the prevention of vision loss due to certain types of macular degeneration. ALK-001 is designed to slow the formation of toxic vitamin A aggregates and deposits, called lipofuscin, in the retina. Dr. Washington's team showed that ALK-001 could reach the retina at levels sufficient to bring about a therapeutic effect. Before obtaining this research grant, existing data could predict how quickly ALK-001 would reach the retina in humans. In general, poor drug pharmacokinetics and delivery to the tissue of interest is responsible for disqualify drug candidates in about 80% of cases, despite promising animal results. As such, the team's demonstration that ALK-001 rapidly reaches the retina in an appropriate swine (pig) model is a major step in ALK-001's development. This research has helped provide data critical in the clinical development of ALK-001, taken over by the biotechnology company, Alkeus Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Washington is the Scientific Founder of Alkeus Pharmaceuticals.

Last week I started my first official 365 days project (more on that later), and I'd like to think that artist Anne Smith began her 100 Cups project in much the same way. Mine isn't anywhere near as beautiful as hers, but I love the idea of taking the same thing again and again and finding ways to make it new.
i love love love this.. can't wait to see.

I have been LOVING your 365 project on Instagram so far!
I like those cups, wish they were real

McDonald was born in Orange, Texas. He took his B.A. and Ph.D. degrees (1955) from the University of Texas at Austin, where he studied with Fulmer Mood. He taught at Brown University (1959–67), Wayne State University (1967–76), and the University of Alabama (1976–2002), and is now retired from teaching.
In We The People: The Economic Origins of the Constitution he argued that Charles A. Beard (in his book An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States) had misinterpreted the economic interests involved in writing the Constitution. Instead of just two interests, landed and mercantile, which conflicted, there were three dozen identifiable interests that forced the delegates to bargain.
McDonald along with the late Grady McWhiney, has presented the "Celtic hypothesis" stating that the distinctiveness of Southern culture derives largely from the majority of the Southern population being descendants of Celtic herdsmen while the majority of the Northern population was the descendants of farmers.

Despite warnings from the United States and its allies that they would not recognize the outcome of the referendum, Crimean voters on Sunday voted almost unanimously to break away from Ukraine and join Russia. Preliminary tallies showed more than nine in ten voters backed a union with Moscow, according to multiple reports.
The U.S. maintained that the election was illegal and illegitimate, siding with the interim Ukrainian government that has taken over since the country ousted pro-Russia President Viktor Yanukovich. And with Russian troops already positioned in Crimea, there's reason to wonder just how fair such a tectonic vote could be.
But talks between Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart on Friday proved fruitless — Kerry said there was no "common vision" between the two sides — with Russia refusing to recognize the interim government in Kiev as legitimate. Then on Saturday, Russia vetoed a proposed U.N. resolution that would have rejected the outcome of the referendum.
In a phone call with President Obama Sunday, Russian President Vladimir Putin defended the vote, saying the election was "completely in line with the norms of international law." Jon Terbush
A giant sheet of granite has fallen from Half Dome, making it even harder to ascend the Yosemite National Park landmark.
Park officials said the sheet, which they estimate is 100 by 200 feet, peeled off from halfway up the sheer face of Half Dome sometime last week. No one was hurt or saw the granite fall; it was found by climbers, who were unable to pass and had to turn around. "What used to be relatively easy climbing has gotten much more difficult," park geologist and climber Greg Stock told The Associated Press.
There are several routes climbers can take, and this particular one is considered one of the top 50 climbing destinations in North America. Hundreds of skilled climbers take on Half Dome every year, and while this affects some climbers, Yosemite Chief of Staff Mike Gauthier is certain it won't keep anyone away. "Now is their chance to find a new work-around," he said. "And they will." Catherine Garcia
That galaxy far, far away just keeps getting more crowded. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has yet another expansion of the Star Wars universe on the horizon: a spin-off focused on the adventures of the young Han Solo.
The Han Solo spin-off will be written, directed, and produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the directorial team behind recent smash hits like 21 Jump Street and The LEGO Movie. No word on casting, but it's hard to imagine a young actor in Hollywood who wouldn't jump at the chance to step into such an iconic role.
The Han Solo movie is just one of many new movies designed to expand the depth and breadth of the Star Wars universe. In addition to J.J. Abrams' Episode VII, which arrives in December, and its two planned sequels, Godzilla director Gareth Edwards is slated to helm Rogue One, a spin-off about the team that stole the plans for the Death Star, setting the stage for the original Star Wars.
Update: Following The Hollywood Reporter's story, the Han Solo spin-off was confirmed on StarWars.com. The movie will explain "how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley," says the press release. The film will hit theaters in May 2018. Scott Meslow
Bike-sharing programs are all the rage in major U.S. cities, but none have got it quite right the way Chicago has. In an announcement Tuesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said that the city's bike-sharing program, Divvy, will become available to low-income residents for $70 off — that is, it will cost only $5 total for a year of use. The city will even throw in a free helmet for the first 250 applicants.
The hope is that the usual bike-share riders — who tend to be wealthy, college-educated, white men — won't be the only ones taking advantage of eco-friendly transportation. But the new discounted price isn't all that makes Divvy's bikes more accessible. Unlike New York's program, Citi Bike, Divvy's stations aren't confined mainly to the wealthier neighborhoods. Divvy is the largest bike-sharing program in the States, with its service area stretching as far north as Chicago's Touhy Avenue, as far south as 75th Street, and as far west as Pulaski Road.

America's heroin epidemic has reached new highs. Heroin use in America has increased by more than 150 percent since 2007, and the drug now has at least half a million users, a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. The gender gap and the race gap in heroin use are also narrowing: Women and white Americans experienced the biggest increases in users, and young adults aged 18-25 were also particularly vulnerable — heroin use in that age group has more than doubled.
Heroin overdose deaths are also on the rise. In 2013, more than 8,200 people died from heroin in the U.S; In 2001, that count was only 1,800. CDC researchers suspect the increase in heroin overdose deaths is linked to the fact that many people using heroin are also using other substances, such as cocaine and painkillers.
More broadly, heroin's resurgence is connected to the growing problem of prescription drug abuse, particularly opioid painkiller use, Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the CDC, told NPR. People addicted to prescription opiates are essentially "primed" for a heroin addiction and are 40 times more likely to become dependent on heroin, and since heroin is far cheaper than prescription painkillers, many users unfortunately end up making the switch.

Some former child stars morph into big-name adult comedians. Think Kenan Thompson, a fixture on Saturday Night Live since 2003. Alas, Thompson's counterpart on their eponymous mid-'90s Nickelodeon show Kenan & Kel has had a more scattered grown-up career (think bit parts on shows such as Clifford the Big Red Dog, Veggie Tales, and Loiter Squad).
That all will change for Kel Mitchell this September, as Entertainment Weekly reports the actor will appear on Game Shakers, a new show on the network that started Mitchell's career, Nickelodeon. To explain Mitchell's part on the show would rob you of this gem of a description, so here's the actor dishing on his upcoming role:
I get to play a hip-hop mogul who is the comedic version of artists like Kanye, Diddy, Eminem and 50 Cent. Double G is a rapper/singer/dancer/entrepreneur/investor, which gives us great story lines on the show. I love playing such a wild character, because you will see some great physical comedy, but he also has heart; he is a single dad that loves his son, Triple G, played by the very talented Benjamin 'Lil P-Nut' Flores, Jr. There are so many layers to this character that it is one of those dream-come-true roles. [EW]
EW reports that the show will follow seventh-graders Babe (Cree Cicchino) and Kenzie (Madisyn Shipman) as they launch and then navigate the subsequent success of a mobile music app called Sky Whale. Mitchell's character begins the series at odds with the youngsters, before eventually teaming up with them. This may not sound like the greatest gig in the world for a grown actor, but then again Mitchell is a guy who once got 27 seconds into a Nick show during which he does nothing but wax poetic about orange soda.
The world is Kel's good burger. Sarah Eberspacher
Baylor University, the world's largest Baptist school and Texas' oldest university, has dropped a ban on "homosexual acts" from its sexual conduct policy. A spokesperson told the Houston Chronicle that the change would more clearly reflect "Baylor's caring community."
According to the old policy:
Baylor will be guided by the understanding that human sexuality is a gift from the creator God and that the purposes of this gift included (1) the procreation of human life and (2) the uniting and strengthening of the marital bond in self-giving love. These purposes are to be achieved through heterosexual relationships within marriage. Misuses of God's gift will be understood to include, but not be limited to, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, incest, adultery, fornication, and homosexual acts. [Waco Tribune]
The new policy simply reads:
Baylor will be guided by the biblical understanding that human sexuality is a gift from God and that physical sexual intimacy is to be expressed in the context of marital fidelity. Thus, it is expected that Baylor students, faculty, and staff will engage in behaviors consistent with this understanding of human sexuality. [Waco Tribune]
Baylor still imposes bans on alcohol on campus and at university events; its ban on dancing was lifted only in the mid-1990s. Jeva Lange
First Lady Michelle Obama was more than a tad skeptical when President Obama told her and Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett that he might sing "Amazing Grace" during his eulogy last month for Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who was killed in the Charleston church shooting.
The New York Times has the scene, which took place aboard Marine One on the way to the funeral.
"When I get to the second part of referring to 'Amazing Grace,' I think I might sing," he told them, by Ms. Jarrett's account.
"Hmm," Ms. Jarrett recalled responding.
Mrs. Obama was a little more pointed. "Why on earth would that fit in?" she asked.
He tried to explain. "I don't know whether I'm going to do it," he said, according to Ms. Jarrett, "but I just wanted to warn you two that I might sing." He added, "We'll see how it feels at the time." [The New York Times]
Of course, Obama did ultimately break out in song — and it was arguably the most stirring part of his eulogy. Later, he told Jarrett, "I knew I was going to sing. I was just trying to figure out which key to sing it."

The Charleston man who was arrested after a fight with a clerk and a police officer at a North Charleston convenience store Sunday is the same guy who led police on a chase from North Charleston to West Ashley in May.
Peter Jenkins, 52, of Heathwood Drive was charged with strong-arm robbery and second-degree assault and battery after the incident at the Tiger Mart at 3255 Rivers Ave. on Sunday morning. A clerk said Jenkins threw a beer can at her when she told him not to steal it, and police said he fought with an officer when confronted in the parking lot.
Jenkins was being held in the Charleston County jail on $40,000 bail on the two most recent charges.
He was out of jail on bail after leading police on a chase from North Charleston to West Ashley in May after his girlfriend said he hit her with a car.
It's not clear how his most recent charge will affect that bail. The solicitor's office planned to check into it.
Jenkins has about 45 criminal convictions since 1979, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.
He escaped from Charleston police confinement in 1981, used a deadly weapon to resist arrest by Goose Creek officers the next year, assaulted a Charleston officer in 1992 and a North Charleston officer a few months later, and led Columbia officers on a pursuit in 2000.
In 2002, he was arrested for yanking his girlfriend's hair, punching her and telling her that he had a bullet with her name on it. Ten days later, police said he fatally shot a man outside a North Charleston nightclub. Jenkins served part of an eight-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter.

Chester 'Mike' Ireland, 62
Published Date
Chester 'Mike' Ireland, 62
PLYMOUTH — Chester "Mike" Ireland, 62, of Plymouth, passed away at his home on May 10 after courageous battle with cancer.
Mike was born on Sept. 7, 1951, the son of Chester R. and Lois (Yeaton) Ireland.
He lived his entire life in Plymouth, graduating from Plymouth High School in 1969 and New Hampshire Vocational Technical College in 1971.
He worked as a truck driver for Yeaton Oil Company for six years before going to work at Ireland Lumber Company in the spring of 1977. In addition to his full-time work at the mill, "Mike" ran a light trucking business, delivering cordwood, bark mulch and sawdust to dozens of loyal customers in the Plymouth area. After the 2007 fire at Ireland Lumber, "Mike" founded his own company, Phoenix Lumber, and expanded his firewood production. He continued to work tirelessly and take great pride in his two businesses right up until his passing.
For part of the 1970s, and all of the '80s and '90s he was a loyal fan of Dave Dion and the Dion Brothers racing team based out of Hudson NH, following them to various tracks around New England such as "Thunder Road," Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, Oxford Plains Speedway, to name a few, even going as far as Virginia and Canada. Sometimes he took the boys with him, other times some of his loyal racing buddies.
Those who knew "Mike" in recent years were very familiar with his love of collecting antique International Harvester tractors. He rarely left the house without his IH suspenders, IH hat or a tractor T-shirt of some sort. Mike was known to seek out virtually any piece of antique red farm equipment, but he was especially partial to Farmall "Cub" Tractors. He was enormously proud of his collection of IH tractors and IH farm implements and his library of IH books, manuals and magazines numbered into the thousands. He had been a member of Chapter 18 of the International Harvester Collectors Club since 1996 and served as director and advisor at various points.
Beginning in 2009, he was co-founder of the "Power of the Red" tractor show in Dublin, an All-International Harvester annual event hosted by Chapter 18. Mike's absolute favorite time of every year was his summer pilgrimage to the "Red Power Round-Up" tractor show. He traveled to Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee and a handful of other states to view beautifully restored farm machines, talk tractors and to dicker and deal with other IH enthusiasts. For Mike, The Red Power Round-Up was even better than a trip to Disneyland.
He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Jackie Ireland, of Plymouth; two sons, Toby, of Belmont, and Mickey and his wife Kathy, of Mansfield, Mass.; his father, Chester R. Ireland, of Plymouth; and his sister, Sara Tatham and her husband Steve, of Plymouth.
He was predeceased by his mother, Lois Y. Ireland; a brother, Timothy Ireland; and a sister, Laurie Ireland.
Calling hours will be held on Saturday, May 17, from 4-7 p.m., at the Mayhew Funeral Home, 12 Langdon St. in Plymouth.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Mike Ireland to the International Harvester Collectors Club Chapter 18 Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 181, Ashland, MA 01721.

There's no point in bombarding you with page after page of Japanese design, no matter how perfect so much of it is. We see about a billion great things everyday from across the Pacific, but what's the use if you can't get it stateside? Every now and then, a Japanese brand is so on point with a look that it's worth paying attention, if only to print out the images and tack them to your mood board. SASQUATCHfabrix has the perfect California arcade game slouch to their spring collection, a style somewhere in between the slick Capulets in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet and a crunchier West Coast vibe. And perhaps we won't be able to find SASQUATCHfabrix around these parts, but we'll be scouring thrift stores in homage. (via SlamXHype)
