Abuja — The Department of State Services (DSS), on Sunday morning, foiled an attempted jail break at its headquarters in Abuja, a statement has said.
The statement, which was signed by Marilyn Ogar, the Deputy Director, Public Relations, DSS, said that the attempt occurred at about 7.15 a.m.
Ogar said that "this was when the service suspect handler went to the detention facility within the headquarters to feed suspects.
"One of the suspects attempted to disarm the handler by hitting him at the back of his head with his handcuff.
"The suspect's attempt to escape drew the attention of other guards at the facility, who fired some shots to warn and deter others."
She explained that the gun shots attracted the attention of the military "with whom we have an understanding of mutual assistance in the event of any threat.
"The Army immediately deployed a team to reinforce our perimeter guards to forestall any external collaborators.
"The situation has since been brought under control," Ogar said, adding that further details would be communicated. (NAN)

Ask Jenny: Advice to Keep Wedding Bliss Fresh As Time Goes By
Dear Jenny,
My fiance and I are getting married this summer. Do you have any newlywed advice for us?
Alter Bound
Dear Alter Bound,
At a local wedding shower, attendees shared this advice for the bride and groom-to-be:
Treat your betrothed as a guest — if you get something for yourself, such as a snack or beverage, offer to do the same for your spouse.
Don't go to bed angry.
Have a date night once a week or every month. If you have children, arrange for a baby sitter or have entertainment for the kids in another room and share a quiet dinner at home.
Keep the romance alive and dress up like you did when you were single.
Praise your spouse, even for the small things. "Do back flips!" Encourage and acknowledge gestures from your partner that show he or she cares.
Have a night out occasionally with the girls or guys to unwind and do things your beloved may not want to do.
Share common interests: Enjoy a hobby or activity together. Appreciate your sweet heart's pursuits of pleasure and join in the fun. If you don't have a shared interest, find one.
Dear Jenny,
It's been like pulling teeth to get my husband to sit down and plan a vacation now that we have been married 10 years and have two children. When we were dating, he was always coming up with fun things to do. Now it seems, if I don't make arrangements we end up staying home.
On the Go
Dear OTG,
When you were dating, you were in the courting phase and still being wooed. It's easy to get caught up working and tending to your family and the homestead, but rest assured you are not alone. Count this chance for you to plan as an opportunity and not a burden. Strategize away and offer your husband some options once you have selected where you would like to go based upon your time and travel budget allowance.
A recent survey of parents conducted by online retailer eToys.com, from May 23 through June 15, 2007, found that mothers are the major vacation planners, mapping out the itineraries 51 percent of the time, while 43 percent of those polled say the family plans the trip together. Fathers do most of the driving on family vacations, according to 70 percent of those polled by eToys. Mom does the packing for the entire family 67 percent of the time the survey says.
Sixty-one percent of the eToys survey respondents say their children are bored at least part of the time while traveling. "Are we there yet?" is the top kid comment among 36 percent of families and in most families, it takes less than an hour for that nagging question to come up. Coming in at a tie for the second place with 18 percent of the responses each are "I'm hungry" and "I need to go to the bathroom."
New Digs: Check out CJ's Evergreen General Store at 1417 Park Ave. in Bremerton for lunch or a Huckleberry Heaven ice cream cone, orange soda or some old-fashioned Black Jack gum. Feel like some organic sustenance? They've got that too, in the form of, coffee, salads and vegetarian specialties. This spot is just right for having a turkey sandwich inside at one of the tables or purchasing items to go for a picnic at Evergreen Park across the street. The store also offers pantry staples, cookbooks and gift items. Parking is plentiful and the view is grand.

A: If you do get your clearance, then, congratulations! Now you are able to keep your job, maintain your access to classified information, and continue your work as a software QA/test engineer on the mission critical project you've been working on at XYZ, in support of the government.
Q: Is my clearance going to be a permanent one?
A: Yes and no. Yes, your clearance is going to be active, either if you continue to work for XYZ, or if you leave XYZ but able to find another employer that is eligible to hold your clearance, offers you a job, and you start working there within two years of leaving XYZ. But, no, clearances are not meant to be permanent; the government can and will reinvestigate you perodically. With or without investigation, they can also send you a "letter of intent to revoke a clearance" at any time.
Q: What if I cannot find an eligible employer?
A: If you cannot find an eligible employer in two years, then you will lose your clearance. If you ever need a clearance again, then you will have to re-apply, and you'll be re-investigated. Re-investigations occur every five years, anyways, if, for example, you hold a top secret clearance.
Q: Why should I apply for clearance?
A: Most of us, software QA/test engineers, don't work for money alone. If we apply, we apply because we respect, love, or trust the government; or because we want to help the government, or because we're attracted to the vision, ideals, and engineering challenges of the job.

When lemons are sliced paper-thin on a mandoline they become almost sweet, offering a brilliant, delicious contrast to the rich, densely-flavoured tuna.
2 lemons (Meyer lemons if available)
About 12 oz. ultra-fresh tuna fillet, cut into even strips about 3/4" thick and about 4" long
6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh summer savory leaves (or substitute thyme leaves or rosemary leaves)
4 sprigs fresh summer savory, thyme, or rosemary for garnish
Equipment: A mandoline or very sharp knife; a large nonstick skillet
Step 1: With a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice the lemons into paper-thin slices, shaving the slices directly into a large, shallow bowl to catch all the juices. Add the strips of tuna, olive oil, and herbs. Toss to blend and marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Heat the skillet over high heat. When hot, remove the tuna from the marinade, drain carefully, and place in the skillet. Working quickly, sear the fish for about 15 seconds on each side for rare tuna, longer for tuna that is well cooked. Immediately transfer the tuna to dinner plates. Spoon the lemons and marinade over the seared tuna. Arrange a branch of herbs alongside for garnish. Serve immediately.

Willamette University to Co-host Authors Day
The Willamette University School of Education will co-host "Young Authors' Day" with the Oregon Writing Project. Over 100 Molalla Elementary fifth graders and their teachers will gather on Willamette's campus on Friday, Jan. 12 for "Young Authors' Day."
The day will feature special guest Kathleen Contreras, author of the Scholastic published Pan Dulce, a book about a Mexican sweet breads baker. The participants will begin the day at 9 a.m. listening to Contreras read her book and describe her experiences as a writer. The reading will be followed by a snack of sweet breads and juice.
The children will then begin a three-stop tour on campus led by Willamette School of Education students. The children will visit College of Liberal Arts Dean Ken Nolley, the Mark O. Hatfield Library and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art.
The students will receive their first college credits, as Dr. Linda Tamura conducts an interactive lecture for young writers. The program will end at 1:00 p.m.

Hurricane Irene Bread! (Warning: Long)
Who knew that you could cook bread at almost 700F + fiery hot coals!
We live in RI and Irene was headed our way. So I made bread dough Sat. night, intending to bake it first thing Sunday morning. The best laid plans ....
Woke up about 5:45 to no electricity but well risen dough -- and, of course, no way to retard it. WFO to the rescue. About the time the oven cleared, we suddenly got electricity back. Joy! So I formed the loaves, put them in pans and turned on the indoor oven. Also, semi-closed the door on the WFO to slow down the burn so we'd have it for later.
Fifteen minutes later we lost electricity again (this time for 30+ hours; just didn't know then how long it would be). When the bread was ready, the indoor oven had cooled to 300F. Panic! Back out to the WFO. Temp just under 700. The rain was really coming down, so I just pushed the coals to the back and sides and dashed back inside.
Put three loaves on a half-sheet pan to provide some bottom insulation and a plastic cover over the top to protect against the rain. A mad dash out to the oven and shoved the pan inside (sans cover). The shove was a little harsh, and the loaves deflated a bit. Loosely closed the door to keep the rain out and went back inside to get loaf #4 and repeat the process. Much to my delight and surprise, there was a little oven spring. Second WFO rescue!
In 5 minutes, back out with tin foil to protect the tops. The outside loaves already were black on the edges. Kept checking at 5 minute intervals to switch pans front to back. I'm getting drenched. Must think about constructing a shelter over the oven!
Here are the finished loaves cooling on racks inside. A little lopsided, but not too bad given the way they were treated when proofed. When we sliced into one, it was pretty darn good! A bit smoky, but since it's whole grain bread, that wasn't too objectionable.
Later that morning we boiled water for coffee and tea (the oven was about 500F at that point). For dinner we heated up left over pot roast and veggies. We'd have roasted marshmallows if the rain had ceased.
We keep saying we need to get a generator for times like this (especially since we are on a well and have no water when we lose power). But we clearly don't need the indoor oven!
Re: Hurricane Irene Bread! (Warning: Long)
That is a great story. I wonder if others have any "How my oven saved the day" stories.

@Pause — Initiates admin mode on the cluster.
The @Pause system procedure initiates admin mode on the cluster. In admin mode, no further transaction requests are accepted from clients on the client port. All interactions with a database in admin mode must occur through the admin port specified in the deployment file.
There may be existing transactions still in the queue after admin mode is initiated. Until these transactions are completed, the database is not entirely paused. You can use the @Statistics system procedure with the "LIVECLIENTS" keyword to determine how many transactions are outstanding for each client connection.
The goal of admin mode is to pause the system and ensure no further changes to the database can occur when performing sensitive administrative operations, such as taking a snapshot before shutting down.
Several important points to consider concerning @Pause are:
@Pause must be called through the admin port, not the standard client port.
Although new stored procedure invocations received on the client port are rejected in admin mode, existing connections from client applications are not removed.
To return to normal database operation, you must call the system procedure @Resume on the admin port.
Returns one VoltTable with one row.
|Always returns the value zero (0) indicating success.
It is possible to call @Pause using the sqlcmd utility. However, you must explicitly connect to the admin port when starting sqlcmd to do this. Also, it is often easier to use the voltadmin utility, which connects to the admin port by default. For example, the following commands demonstrate pausing and resuming the database using both sqlcmd and voltadmin:
$ sqlcmd --port=21211 1> exec @Pause; 2> exec @Resume;
$ voltadmin pause $ voltadmin resume
The following program example, if called through the admin port, initiates admin mode on the database cluster.

Astronomer Geoff Marcy is the Usain Bolt of planet hunters, but now he is turning his gaze towards potential alien civilisations. The good news, he tells Anil Ananthaswamy, is that ET may already be calling
Why have you decided to join the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI)?
I'm at a funny crossroads, personally. I really want to turn my attention away from planet-hunting towards SETI. I'm in this lucky position that my career has been more successful than I could have ever imagined. It's time for me to roll the dice, try something that's a long shot. Younger scientists can't put their eggs in that basket, because if you spend your time on SETI, your chances of success are low. But I have the luxury. There are some experiments we can do to hunt for the great galactic internet.

Hmm... weird. My App Store is showing "All apps are up to date". Maybe the app hasn't hit the Pacific Northwest region yet?
Facebook 3.2 brings Places to iPhone
Facebook's iPhone app has been updated to version 3.2 and, among other things, brings support for the new Places service that lets you see where your friends are and what location-based social activities they're up to. (At least in the US, when I tried it it said it wasn't yet available in my region.)
What else is new?
- You can set the privacy of individual status updates.
- See all recipients of inbox messages.
- (iOS 4) Upload photos and videos in the background.
- Fixed a delay when commenting on a post or posting a status update.
- Fixed some Notes display bugs.
- Fixed some reliability bugs in News Feed.
Places will also offer integration with existing location-based apps like Gowalla.
If you've tried it out, let us know how Facebook places is working for you on your iPhone...
Update 1: How to prevent your friends from checking you into Places.
Update 2: And here's Facebook 3.2.1 with bug fixes.
Update 3: And here's Facebook's statement on known Jailbreak conflicts.
Update 4: And here's Facebook 3.2.2 to fix the login issues.

Facebook 3.2 brings Places to iPhone
IPhone 3GS 4.0
I just upgraded it and it wouldn't load anything. So I logged out and tried to log back in. It won't log me in "at this time". Hope there's a fix soon. Anyone else having problems?
not availabe in my region yet...............BOSTON, MA
The new app was available for download in the Midwest. Places integration not yet up and running though. The icon looks different though.and if they fixed any of the previous "reliability" issues, then the update is a welcome sight for sore eyes. Additionally, one cool thing I did find is that if you're navigating around the app and you'd like to go back to the home screen, you can simply tap the FaceBook logo at the top of the app.
@ Tim
Forreal! You would think that that would be one of the first apps to go universal. Would be nice rather than use safari.
@ JhonnyC
That's exactly what's happening to me.
Florida Panhandle
@JhonnyC mine says the same thing...I cant load anything!
Facebook Fail.
I updated and everything "works" fine. I like the update so far. Places says "Not Available In My Region" just north of San Francisco. I don't get why they would add a feature already that obviously is NOT ready yet! Overall good update though.
Not available in South West Wales, UK yet.
After upgraded to 3.2 on iPone 3.1.2 firmware, I cannot log in to Facebook.
After entering username and password, it started to log in and end up with Login Failed: Unable to connect to Faceb ook. Please try again later"
And comment or the same experience as I found? Or it is just me who have the problem
Not available in California.
This is utterly silly... How on earth does BiteSMS or iPhoneDelivery result in Facebook app not to load? Dumb, dumb, dumb!!!
Going back to an earlier version :(
iphone delivery is causing the login failure, once disable the options im able to use facebook apps again. perhaps have to wait for iphone delivery/bitesms to release with an update to solve the issue.
So Cal. the update is working just fine with me. in fact, it's a bit faster i feel. places says the not available thing though.
@Matt: the facebook top bar thing has been there. once you hit it, it takes you the home screen. after that you can tap anything else like notifications and when done. tap the facebook (or whatevers on top) again and it takes you right back. pretty awesome huh?
I just updated this morning and stumbled across a new feature. They've add an update feature for the news feed that works just like the one used in Twitter for iPhone (formerly Tweetie 2). I really like just being able to drag the screen down and releasing for an update! Places seems to be working fine in my area (Cape Cod).
Mark , the 'See all recipients of inbox messages' allow you to see if a message in your inbox has been sent to more than just you , like a group message to a load of friend , beacuse if you reply to these everyone in the recipients list see's what you have replied .
Chris , i cant even log into my facebook app now since this update !! gutted
Problem with facebook iphone app? got bitesms installed? - Solution: http://pastebin.com/r4dn7czA #facebook #bitesms #iphone #apple #ios4
Why delete my posts, dude? :twisted:
guys how do you set the privacy level and Exclude people?
I choose "Exclude" but then nothing else happens.
I'm in Los Angeles and my "region" is not available yet. Really?? Patience....patience.....
What's happens when biteSms is disabled? We can't use it? That's the whole reason y I JB! This is BS!!!!!!
If you Disable the BiteSMSsb then it will no longer be your Text Messenger App. You can still use the App to send text, but you won't get your Quick Replies or the Next Format when you get a text.
You can downgrade your FB App by deleting it on your iPhone. And on your PC/Mac, just resync it. If you updated it through iTunes, then the old version is probably still in your recycle bin. Just put it back in iTunes and Resync.
Thank for your suggestion. I have uninstalled Facebook 3.1.4, install BiteSMS from Cydia, install Facebook 3.2 from App Store.
The installation process go fine. Then I go to SBSettings, and disable BiteSMSsb under Mobile Substrate Addons, respring
Result: Still I cannot login to Facebook. I have to reverse the whole process to get 3.1.4 back
Great info on the bitesms issues but I think I'll wait for facebook to fix the issue on their end. BiteSMS is too good to disable.
Is it just me or does the idea of Places scare the you-know-what out of you too?
Amazing what technology can do for us, or what a pain in the butt too!
I just like the helpful info you supply in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and test again here regularly. I'm relatively sure I will be informed a lot of new stuff right right here! Good luck for the next!

Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought." These words by American lyricist Yip Harburg ring true when you are serenaded by any of your favourite songs. We asked some passionate music lovers about the songs that define their different moods and emotions. Here's what a few good experts, lovers all of Bollywood's melodies, shared with us... Enjoy! Jerry Pinto is the author of Helen: The Life and Times of an H-Bomb I believe that it is almost impossible to judge lyrics out of context. A song always has so much going for it, so many memories tied to it. "Here I come and there you hum," says Raju Bharatan in his book on Lata Mangeshkar. The tune is a huge crutch and can often cover up weak lyrics. And then there is the movie itself: few unsuccessful films leave any music behind but equally few successful films have unsuccessful music. And yet so many of the songs I have loved, I remember in tandem: can I separate the delicate beauty of Supriya Pathak and the gentleness of Farooque Shaikh from 'Dikhai diye yoon' and 'Phir chhidi raat baat phoolon ki' from Bazaar (1982)? Or the face and adas of Rekha in Umrao Jaan's 'Yeh kya jagah hai doston' or even the sudden perfection of Asha Bhosle's singing, a perfection we had not noticed before that? 1. Seene mein jalan, aankhon mein toofaan (Gaman, 1978). Muzaffar Ali used Shahryar's poem with great respect and to great effect to emphasise the alienation of his hero – "aaina hamein dekh ke hairaan sa kyon hai?" I also feel that most lyricists pay attention to the first few lines or to the lines they think will 'catch' and patch the rest of the song together. 2. The qawwali in Mughal-e-Azam (1960) holds for me as a perfect dialogue between the pragmatic and the romantic. It is sung exquisitely too so that the two versions of Teri mehfil mein kismat aazmaakar hum bhi dekhenge... in the voices of Shamshad Begum and Lata Mangeshkar are inflected differently; the first with suggestiveness and the second with yielding. And there is the cold "kisi din yeh tamaashaa muskuraake hum bhi dekhenge" with that close-up intensifying the predestination of the words.3. There is the lovely Shokhiyon mein ghola jaaye from Prem Pujari (1970) that defies its stupid picturisation; there's Phoolon ke rang se, dil ki kalam se which I also love for the way the words move.4. And for their huge denunciation of modern society those two songs from Pyaasa (1957): Jinhe naaz hai Hind par woh kahan hai? and Yeh takhton, yeh taajon, samaajon ki duniya. From the same film, for its yearning: Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo. 5. From Sahib, Bibi aur Ghulam (1962), the magnificent Na jaao saiyyan, which marks the descent of the suhaagan, Piya aiso jiya mein samaay gayo re to the solipsism on the floor of her own bedroom, making drunken love to a bottle.
Sanjay Manjrekar is a former India cricketer and commentator"I can listen to songs sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeskhar all day. Kishore Kumar is my God. But his number Phoolon ke rang se (Prem Pujari, 1970) is my all-time favourite. It is romantic and mellow, and the lyrics by Neeraj and the music by Sachin Dev Burman do tremendous justice to Kishore's haunting voice." (As told to Aasheesh Sharma)

Domnic Deane – Drums/Organ, Matthew Carington -Guitars/Samples
Produced by Ross Halden
I quite like this record. On the other hand, I can probably count on the fingers of both hands how many times I'll be able to sit and listen to it.
This is actually much more of a positive statement than you might think and as such I ask that you allow me to elaborate As if you had any fucking choice. 'Beyond The Sun' is pretty intense. But not intense in the way of a lot of artist I write about are i.e. loud and shouty. This is more of a subtle sonic intensity. The quiet and pretty moments sound tense, occasionally somewhat brutal as they build to the band's more climatic and noisy moments. The post-rock influence is obvious in a lot of the structures of the songs on this album and the stoner influences is evident in the pace of the tracks, its easy to imagine a room of heads shrouded in smoke nodding along to this. These are both things that I can get on board with to an extent; I like both the quiet to loud dynamic and I also like really, really dirty guitar sounds. Sunwolf deliver both of those things and deliver them well, and pretty promptly too. Rarely do any of the sections, be they clean and melodic or dirty and heavy, outstay their welcome which is so often to tipping point for many a post-rock or stoner band.
The band's drone influences though are the real make or break part of this album. And for me, they break its replay value. That said, they're also a key part of the flow of the record and its sense of completeness that makes this a real album as opposed to a collection of instrumental passages. I often find many instrumental acts make albums with similar sounding tracks because they lack that distinction between tracks that a good vocalist, and in particular a strong lyricist, can provide. The passages where the album indulges the drone influences grate a touch for me, but on the other hand it only brings the beauty of the band's quieter moments into some seriously stark relief. Each dynamic benefits the other and I can't say for sure that if the album was simply washed of these it would still have the same effect. By doing this it is these elements and not the others, wonderful though they may be, that give the album that sense of urgency and sense of emotion that is so often lost in a lot of instrumental music.
I realise much of that last paragraph seems like an absurd contradiction but what can I say? I'm a complex man.
Ladies, please form a que.
'Beyond The Sun' is in reality a really, really good album. But it isn't really easy.
Truth be told, I'm not sure I'd want it to be.
'Beyond the Sun' is available now at the band's bandcamp page and available as limited edition physical version. Click here to check it out.
They have no Facebook that we can see so…you can't 'like' them. Bummer.

The Diversity Affairs Office at Miami University is taking a "racist case of Lucky Charms," to the highest level.
In another James O'Keefe production, undercover Miami University students visited the diversity office on campus, claiming Lucky Charms discriminates against Irish-Americans by portraying them as "little green plaided gnome hucksters" and asked for the product to be banned in school cafeterias because it is offensive and racist.
Two takeaways from the video both positive and negative. The negative being that the diversity officer in the video is actually willing to ban the Lucky Charms just because they are "offensive." Just because something is offensive, doesn't mean it should be banned or that free speech rights should be stomped on over it. Obviously the claim that Lucky Charms are racist is a bit ridiculous in the first place, but it gets the point across. The positive side is, the official in the video didn't dismiss the students' claim simply because they weren't a minority. I'm happy to see "diversity" finally includes white Americans.
Either way, it's a good laugh.

Ubiquitination assay
Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute
posted on 07/07/2009
Signal Transduction
A method for assaying ubiquitination and identifying modulators of ubiquitination to regulate aberrant signal transduction.
· Multi-well array analysis for high throughput screening
· Can be used independent of the E3 ubiquitination enzyme
Ubiquitin is a highly conserved protein expressed in all eukaryotic cells. The levels of many intracellular proteins are regulated by a ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic process. This process involves the covalent ligation of ubiquitin to a target protein, resulting in a poly-ubiquitinated target protein that is rapidly detected and degraded. The ubiquitination of these proteins is mediated by a cascade of enzymatic activities, with E3 being the final enzyme used in the cascade. In this process, chains of ubiquitin are formed on the target protein, each covalently ligated to the next through the activity of E3. Modulators of ubiquitination can be used to upregulate or downregulate specific molecules involved in cellular signal transduction. Disease processes can be treated by such up- or down regulation of signal transducers. Due to the importance of ubiquitination in cellular regulation, the current invention provides a means for assaying ubiquitination and identifying modulators of ubiquitination.

Prince of Wales to open hospice centre next week
Last updated at 08:33, Friday, 04 April 2014
Prince Charles will officially open Hospice at Home West Cumbria's new centre in Workington next week.
The Prince of Wales, who is the charity's patron, is due to be at the Finkle Street centre on Wednesday.
He will meet staff, volunteers and fund-raisers.
He will also spend time with people who use the charity's services, including its bereavement support groups and lymphoedema clinic.
He will then unveil a plaque in the hospice shop, which is attached to the centre, and meet its volunteer workers.
Dr Rob Walker, Hospice at Home West Cumbria chairman, said: "We are delighted to hear that Prince Charles wishes to visit us and open our new centre.
"Opening our centre to patients in March was the culmination of a lot of hard work from our staff, local supporters, volunteers and businesses.
"Having His Royal Highness officially open the centre and meet the people who have made it happen is a wonderful thank you to them.
"Hospice at Home West Cumbria has grown and developed new services since the prince last visited in 1999."
The £700,000 centre, formerly the Derwent Bookshop, provides the charity for the first time with a dedicated centre offering services that complement its palliative care work, which will continue.
Times & Star readers raised £21,616 to help kit out rooms at the centre in our recent Hospice@Finkle Street Appeal.
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition where excess fluid is retained in body tissue.
Prior to the centre opening, people getting treatment for lymphoedema had to be seen at temporary venues across the area.
The centre also offers complementary therapy, a family room and counselling rooms to help those with life-limiting illnesses and their families and carers.

FUKUOKA, Japan—FuKuoKa SunPalace Big Hall, set against the rippling sea of Hakata Port, played host to Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company's final performance in Japan on the evening of May 1. An appreciative audience gave thunderous applause as Masters of Ceremonies introduced the Shen Yun Orchestra to audience members, who were craning to see the musicians in the pit and waving to express their appreciation.
Iwata Shoko, director of Heisei College of Music and representative of Kumamoto, Japan, attended the Shen Yun performance with friends. Full of praise for the show, she said ancient Chinese culture is really good.
Delighted with every aspect of Shen Yun, she was particularly taken by Shen Yun's unique, animated backdrop scenes. When traveling abroad, she said she had seen dance performances accompanied by music, yet Shen Yun impressed her with its dazzling, colorful costumes, performers with broad smiles and excellent dance skills, and the live orchestral performance.
Touched by Shen Yun's mission to revive the divinely-imparted culture, Iwata Shoko said, "It's a very beautiful thing to have such a beautiful traditional culture. This is my first time to see backdrop scenes from which divinity descends down to the world. The high-tech backdrop scenes help to visualize the culture."
She thinks China has turned into a totalitarian regime and feels it is a great pity. In contrast, the China visualized by Shen Yun is very good, she said. "I hope that we can travel back to the ancient China well-known for its glorious traditions, arts and culture; going back to a world of peace and without conflicts."
'Demonstrated their inner feelings'
Ayaka Sakamoto, a jazz dancer who has learned Jazz dance in New York, was in the audience.
Astonished by Shen Yun's artists' superb technique and their powerful expressions, she said: "The dancers are well-trained, and I felt that they demonstrated their inner feelings through their facial expressions and body movements.
"The dance was full of Chinese flavor. The movements were very accurate and in unison. I have learned Jazz dance in the U.S., and have seen Broadway dancing shows, but what was performed by Shen Yun is quite different."
"The dance connoted touching stories, and high-tech backdrops helped to give a great momentum," she added.
Ms. Sakamoto especially praised the power of expression of classic Chinese dance and the superb technique of the performers. She said: "Japanese dance is rather soft, while classical Chinese dance is much more energetic, combining both softness and vitality. Generally speaking, the latter has more powerful actions with difficult techniques. [Shen Yun's] dance is very elegant, and the costumes are exquisite. The dance has the power of expression. The artists are well-trained, with a solid foundation. They were able to express their inner feelings through their facial expressions and entire bodies."
Ms. Sakamoto praised soprano Min Jiang, who sang "Heavenly Secret." "She had no need for a microphone; she has a resonant voice with the power of penetration and influence. I can perceive a strong wish in her song," she said.

New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org.

Washington Hospital Opens Cooling Center During Recent Heat Wave
Hot temperatures across Northern California have made this a summer to remember. Unfortunately, when temperatures reach in excess of 100 degrees and high ozone levels from smog affect air quality, many people may need to stay indoors until the weather passes.
In response to high temperatures in the local area, Washington Hospital and several other Tri-City government agencies are opening up their air-conditioned doors for seniors and other residents who need to seek some relief in a cool and relaxing environment.
"The Hospital will continue to open the cooling center when the temperatures become unseasonably high," says Ruth Traylor, Washington Hospital's Director of Community Outreach. "Our doors are always open for those people that want to seek refuge from the excessive heat."
The cooling center, located in the Washington Hospital Community Health Resource Library at 2500 Mowry Avenue, 1st floor (Washington West) is adjacent to the main hospital. The library is open Monday through Friday from 10 am. to 5:30 p.m.
Signs of heatstroke - Who's at risk?
Heatstroke is the complete breakdown of the body's regulation of heat. It most commonly occurs toward the end of the summer heat period when there are temperatures over 100 degrees for several days. Symptoms of heatstroke can include unconsciousness, very high fever, bizarre behavior, hallucinations and altered consciousness. Sweating may or may not be a symptom.
On hot days, it is important to be aware of the signs, symptoms and treatment of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. People most at risk for heatstroke and heat exhaustion are the elderly, poor or socially isolated people who need help and the chronically ill.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) some people are at greater risk than others. These groups include:
- Infants and children up to four years of age are sensitive to the effects of high temperatures and rely on others to regulate their environments and provide adequate liquids.
- People 65 years of age or older may not compensate for heat stress efficiently and are less likely to sense and respond to change in temperature.
- People who are overweight may be prone to heat sickness because of their tendency to retain more body heat.
- People who overexert during work or exercise may become dehydrated and susceptible to heat sickness.
- People who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure, or who take certain medications, such as for depression, insomnia, or poor circulation, may be affected by extreme heat.
Tips for dealing with the heat
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued the following tips to protect yourself and your loved ones during a heat wave.
- Drink Plenty of Fluids - During hot weather you will need to increase your fluid intake, regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. Avoid drinks that can lead to dehydration such as alcohol, tea, coffee, soda and other drinks with caffeine.
- Schedule Outdoor Activities Carefully - If you must be outdoors, try to limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. Try to rest often in shady areas so that your body's thermostat will have a chance to recover.
- Take Advantage of Shade and Air Conditioning - Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place.
If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall, public library or a cooling center. Even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness. Taking a cool shower or bath or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off. Use your stove and oven less to maintain a cooler temperature in your home.

HAVING recently returned to research (only part time, but still) after a long spell as a journalistic poacher of research done by others, I fell upon Howard Becker's book with cries of delight. Subtitled
I was sadly mistaken. The research Becker is concerned with is social science (which I thought, and still tend to think after reading this book, is something of an oxymoron). The tricks of the trade come, we are told, from "a variety of fields such as art history, anthropology, sociology, literature and philosophy". Yes indeed, and no doubt the anthropologists are embarrassed by the company they are keeping here.

THE Ministry of Agriculture has agreed to set up the fresh produce business centre at Wanaheda in Windhoek after initially pushing for the hub to be located in an industrial area. Agriculture Permanent Secretary Joseph Iita confirmed to The Namibian yesterday that they have accepted the land which the Windhoek Municipality made available to them.
The City council received a letter this year from the Ministry of Agriculture informing them that they will accept the land.
According to a source, President Hifikepunye Pohamba, who has an interest in agriculture, is said to have given a green light that the hub be set up in Wanaheda instead of Prosperita.
The ministry intends to build a wholesale market, bulk cold storage and retail facilities. It will also provide facilities for sorting, grading, packaging, branding, transportation and distribution logistics of locally produced horticulture products.
Iita said the hub will be set up as soon as they get support of financial and technical skills, adding that implementation will start in the next financial year.
The agriculture ministry described the land as "too small and the intended project will require large open platforms suitable for heavy trucks and interlinks to simplify loading and unloading of products in bulk".
City of Windhoek's chief executive officer, Niilo Taapopi said the ball is in the agriculture ministry's hands and they have done what they could.
The council donated the land to the agriculture ministry and all the councillors agreed that development should be brought closer to the people, arguing that "Prosperita is on the other side of Windhoek where access by previously disadvantaged was only possible after independence. One would like to have access to the facility easily and buy our tomatoes there."
Controversy reigned over where the hub should be located and the news of Wanaheda being chosen as the location will not be good news to Former Ministry of Agriculture Permanent Secretary Andrew Ndishishi who lobbied for other locations.
Ndishishi, who is now the PS at the Ministry of Health, wrote a letter to the Ministry of Regional, Local Government and Housing in which he vented his frustration at the City council's refusal to allocate a plot in Prosperita.
In the letter he said the Wanaheda plot will not be suitable for the envisioned fresh produce hub, which requires industrial and commercial activities.
"The plot in Wanaheda is located among residential homes and a school and is therefore not suitable for the market."
Ndishishi even said the ministry does not have any other option than to move the industrialised component to Okahandja.
Ndishishi, who was replaced by Iita last year after the Permanent Secretaries reshuffle indicated in that letter that the land in Wanaheda is sloped and its usage is dependent on the large-scale earthworks expected to cost N$15 million.
"Erf 2192 Wanaheda is zoned institutional and it has to be rezoned for industrial land use. This rezoning is a long and protracted process and is open to objections by the public," Ndishishi wrote in the letter.
Other projects of a similar nature at Rundu and Ongwediva are already nearing completion, according to Ndishishi.

When the screening invite for Charlie McDowell's new film The One I Love landed in my inbox, an odd disclaimer caught my eye. "Please note that no one will be admitted to screenings of The One I Love once the film has begun," it went. "We kindly request that you abstain from plot spoilers in your coverage and on social media." This has been the movie's big bullet point since it premiered at Sundance, spotlighted in the pull quotes of its trailer — there is a big twist, so overarching that when co-star Elisabeth Moss appeared on The Daily Show to promote it, she told Jon Stewart that said twist "basically means that I can't tell you anything about the movie." But once you see the movie, all of the coy pre-release hand-wringing doesn't make a helluva lot of sense. It's not a film that somehow hinges on explosive surprises; the fact that it's being marketed as such is less a protective measure for the picture's delicate fabric, and more an uninspired marketing hook.

Conspiracy theories: they're as fascinating as they are maddening. For every ridiculous idea that the stoner in your life insists on telling you about every time you see him/her, there's another theory that sounds like it could just be true. Here at Flavorwire this week, we're investigating conspiracy theories in pop culture: yes, it's Conspiracy Theory Week! Don't tell the Illuminati.
The most intriguing of today's DVD and Blu-ray releases is Room 237, director Rodney Ascher's ingenious montage documentary showcasing the wildest fan theories about Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining. Among them: that the film is an apology for the genocide of the Native American, that it is an examination of the crimes of the Holocaust, and (best of all) that Kubrick helped fake the Apollo moon landings while making 2001, and though he could never tell the truth about that job, he inserted various clues and explanations into The Shining as an apology/confession. Sounds crazy, huh? Well, there's plenty more, even stranger movie theories floating around the Internet, and since we know how much you love this sort of thing, here's a few of the odder ones.

The fine folks over at Vulture are following up last spring's Drama Derby (determining the best TV drama of the past quarter-century — The Wire, unsurprisingly) with the Sitcom Smackdown, an attempt to pin down television's best situation comedy since 1982 (the year of Cheers' debut). It's the kind of project guaranteed to get people all worked up, and your Flavorwire is no exception. It's hard to argue with too many of their Sweet 16, but man did they leave a lot of great stuff out. So, in response, we decided it was time to offer up some alternates — great sitcoms that don't get their due, there or… Read More
As we recently learned via an interview with Mindy Kaling at Entertainment Weekly, the return of Kelly Kapoor to The Office before the end of the final season isn't out of the realm of possibility, which would be nice considering her rather anti-climatic departure from the show in the premiere. (Then again, her abrupt "See ya suckers! Exeunt KELLY" is totally in line with the character.) Needless to say, the interview got us thinking about other actors and actresses who played two TV roles at the same time. Some couldn't be more different, while others are clearly cut from the same cloth — but all of them warped our brains a bit. We've rounded up 12 examples below; leave your additions in the comments.

This week's must-see DVD for film fans is Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel, Alex Stapleton's wickedly enjoyable documentary profile of Roger Corman, the B-movie master whose exploitation movies launched half the moviemakers and movie stars of the '70s. One of the film's highlights is Jack Nicholson's remembrances of his first movie roles, including his debut performance in The Little Shop of Horrors (which Corman shot in all of two days). Nicholson's story got us thinking about other stars and their first movie roles, so we put together this quick video essay with a peek at some other famous film debuts.

Struise Browers: The best brewer in the world? Pure Disney, Belgian beer expert Tim Webb says
Ratebeer.com's best-beer statistics are always interesting. Often, I agree. But when they name: Struise Brouwers, a brewery in Belgium I've never heard of as the "best brewer in the world," I couldn't help myself, I was skeptical. Basically, the little contract brewery got the most votes in a system Ratebeer uses that gives more weight to expert beer raters. Still? The best?
So I asked the ultimate English language expert: Tim Webb, author of the Good Beer Guide to Belgium series, published by the English Campaign for Real Ale. He's English, has traveled widely in Belgium for years and really knows his Belgian beer. Here's Tim's reply:
I am deeply disappointed in the ratebeer guys.
I appreciate what they are trying to do and they are very good at helping to put beer on the map, which is an excellent thing. However, they nearly buried Westvleteren with the ludicrous claim that they produced 'the best beer in the world' (shouldn't that have been 'pretty good beers from the world's cutest sounding brewery?)
Now they nominate a brewing firm that has not even invested in a brewery (and anyway is only be a couple of years old) to be the very finest producers of our favoured beverage anywhere on Earth. I mean is that likely? I think not.
Do you get to gain great expertise that quickly? I hope not.
All adolescents get crushes – it's part of growing up.
'A Brewery that a bunch of beer drinkers are most impressed by recently' would be fine, no problem. Best brewers in the world? Give me a break. Covering it could make a good piece on the limits to the value of opinions but PLEASE don't add to the embarasment by giving this naieve glee-chant unearned credibility.
On the factual side, Struise Brouwers is a switched-on bunch of business-like young beer makers and if they can carry on their early promise may yet become great brewery owners, as opposed to interesting beer makers. I do not know of the extent of their training – they could have masters degrees at one of the Ghent brewing schools or be home brewers with a passion, I have no idea which.
They began by brewing several rather dull beers at Caulier – a wheat beer, an amber and a blond as I recall. They moved the operation to Deca after De Ranke moved out to a brewery of their own. Then out of nowhere they pulled out some high strength beers with an aged element.
I doubt their beers have all been oak-aged. At least one that stayed on the market was badly faulty – flat as a pancake – and one given to me by them to take away from Zythos Beer Festival exploded a month or two later with all the usual suspects asssitings its lava flow into the sink. On the other hand, the rest I have tried have been a a spectrum from pretty good to seriously interesting. If you want to be an opinion maker you're supposed to act responsibly.
They are good enough for one beer to feature in '100 Belgian Beers to Try Before You Die', which I have written with Joris Pattyn and which will appear on www.booksaboutbeer.com from 1st September this year. Only two other non-brewery-owners get that privilege – with Senne brewery getting three listed BTW.
They are certainly on a roll in the U..S by the sound of it, but then yours is a nation that has at times raved about Fantome and Michelob. In my view their elevation to the heavenly choirs is premature, and more the expression of exuberant enthusiasm rather a studied observation of excellence.
I am slightly biased by my view that the whole concept of a 'best beer / brewery' is pure Disney and very very American. If someone could explain to me how you judge Keesmann Herren Pils in a heads up against,say, Drie Fonteinen Oude Kriek, Nogne O Imperial Stout and Saison Dupont I might take the concept more seriously but till then I am afraid I will put it in the 'Yankee Tosh' file along with the latest efforts to get all sentimental about Bud.

YET another terrorist threat has been thrust into the media spotlight in recent weeks: "dirty bombs", conventional explosives spiced with radioactive material.
But why is this particular weapon suddenly causing so much concern? And how worried should we really be? What's changed is the realisation that not only are terrorists interested in exploding dirty bombs, the material is out there to build one. And while the devices might not kill many people, they could still do exactly what terrorists want: force the long-term evacuation of central London, downtown Manhattan or any other urban area attackers manage to hit.
Government and UN agencies have just admitted that there's enough missing caesium-137 and other lethal leftovers around to do it. This week the race is on to find and recover them.
The US has released $25 million of emergency funding to help comb the former Soviet Union, by far the world's richest ...

News From 91.3 KUWS
Mining again on Superior Days agenda this year
Iron ore mining legislation is back on the agenda for next month's Superior Days citizen lobbying session in Madison. Jessica Hamilton has that story.
Democratic State Senator Bob Jauch of Poplar says the discussion of mining this year is going to be different than the last year. He hopes it'll deal with the options for a mine permitting process rather than the politics of mining. Jauch says this session the public will have two choices.
"The public will have the opportunity to compare a bill written by and for a coal company in West Virginia or a bill that reforms and streamlines the process that was written by Senator Collin's bipartisan committee."
Cullen's committee had a Democratic majority, while last year's Assembly Mining Committee was lead by Republicans. This session, Republicans are back in control.
Bayfield Mayor Larry McDonald says usually Superior Days issues aren't controversial, but he says not everyone agrees on a new mining bill.
"One of the things that's going to be interesting is the potential the discussion of mining permitting, I know there are some folks dead set against and some of them absolutely wanting it to happen."
Representative Nick Milroy of Superior says all the issues are important to the North's economy.
"We can improve our school funding, and improve our infrastructure and even if we can site a mine in northern Wisconsin without harming the environment, you know those are all things that could potentially be opportunities for northern Wisconsin."
State Representative Janet Bewley of Ashland thinks the issue of mining at Superior days will broaden the view point for future legislation of mining in Wisconsin.
"The expectation is that the process of crafting legislation is going to be one that will incorporate and I would welcome the kind of input that people that will give through the Superior Days initiative. Being able to hear from the people themselves about what they think needs to be in a mining bill, I think is critical to good law making."
Most of the other issues for next month's Superior Days citizen lobbying session in Madison are set.
Douglas County Administrator Andy Lisak says recent planning meetings have helped to produce what he thinks could be the final list of issues.
"Working with our local extension office takes those issues and the committee goes through those issues to see if they meet the criteria and to determine if the issue, any respective issue is a legislative issue of an agency issues or both."
The top four legislative issues to be lobbied at this year's Superior Days includes mining in northern Wisconsin, Highway 2 expansion from Hurley to Superior, continued support for northwest Wisconsin education and revenue sharing for towns and cities.
Bewley says school funding is an ongoing issue and she hopes Superior Days will help fix the formula for how money is distributed in northern Wisconsin.
"We have always said well we need to fix the funding, we need to fix how we go about paying for education so that all students, all kids can have a quality education."
Bayfield Mayor McDonald says there are certain issues raised every year and that still need to be addressed.
"Well I know the Highway 2 expansion will come up and Highway 53 into intersection safety."
Superior Days is scheduled for Feburary 19 and 20.Previous KUWS Articles:

Justin Bieber Has Been Texting Selena Gomez Constantly to Get Her Back
Does Justin Bieber wish Selena Gomez would always be his? It's sounding that way — and he's letting her know in 160 characters or less.
Justin has been frequently texting Selena since their break-up, according to Radar Online. "He is texting her like crazy trying to stay in her good graces," a source says.
In fact, it appears that his love of texting may have gotten him in trouble with Selena in the first place. "Justin doesn't see texting other girls as cheating, but he's promised Selena he'll stop if she takes him back," says the source. "The problem in the first place is that Selena was a little bit of a jealous girlfriend, and Justin wasn't really taking her feelings into regard."
Apparently, the two might in fact get back together, assuming their schedules allow it. "If either one of them slows down and they actually have the chance to spend time together again, they will end up back together," continues the source.
It also sounds like Selena might have been jealous about Justin texting other girls, but not about his career, despite rumors that have said otherwise. "As far as she's concerned, she began her career before YouTube — where Justin launched his — was even a thought," says the source. "She's proud of Justin's success, but certainly isn't jealous and doesn't see him as the phenom that everyone else does."
