Matthew Shaw – Lamorna
Spring has come late to Britain this year. As the last of the unseasonal snow thaws and flower buds reluctantly open Matthew Shaw's Lamorna seems a fitting soundtrack. Minimalist sounds stir behind tentative birdsong as spring makes its slow arrival. In fact, the album was recorded last summer at the pretty fishing village and cove in Cornwall the … [Read more...]
Mountains – Centralia
With a firm hand for delicate layers and slow-burning compositions, the duo of Mountains creates a stellar relationship with the listener on their latest instrumental album, Centralia. Regarded as their 'most fully-realized album,' the duo worked closely together, crafting the album through repetitive work that involved the heavy use of acoustic … [Read more...]
How to Dress Well – Total Loss
Throughout his short career, How to Dress Well's Tom Krell has already garnered the tag of being ethereal and ultimately transcendent. On Love Remains, the fragments of his life were adorned with stellar hooks ("You Won't Need Me Where I'm Goin'") and moving, tremendously great melodies ("Endless Rain"); each song, paired with his voice, made for a … [Read more...]
Guest Review by Mark Lesseraux of Kyle Bobby Dunn – Bring Me The Head Of Kyle Bobby Dunn
Kyle Bobby Dunn's new album Bring Me The Head Of Kyle Bobby Dunn is a sprawling two record set which, like his 2010 release A Young Person's Guide To Kyle Bobby Dunn, culls pieces from several years of work. Dunn's ambient drone compositions have always evoked cinematically haunting images and Bring Me The Head Of Kyle Bobby Dunn does not … [Read more...]
Sigur Rós – Valtari
At the risk of making a blatant generalization about one of this generation's greatest bands, the main draw of a new Sigur Rós record was and still is the music's uncanny ability to simultaneously put on a show of conspicuous beauty and flummoxing eccentricity. Yes – "Hoppípolla" may have achieved ubiquity thanks to spots in nature documentaries … [Read more...]

Mongolia Export Income Falls 2.6% in 2013 as Coal Sales Slump
Jan. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Mongolia's export income slipped 2.6 percent last year amid a decline in shipments of coal, the nation's biggest earner.
Earnings were $4.27 billion in 2013, compared with $4.38 billion a year earlier, the National Statistics Office said on its website. Coal shipments declined 41 percent by value.
The slump in earnings underscores the challenges facing Mongolia as economic growth cools, foreign investment declines and the nation's mineral boom slows amid protracted disputes with key investors. China accounted for 87 percent of exports last year by value, today's data showed.
Coal exports fell to $1.12 billion last year, from $1.9 billion a year earlier, the agency said today. Volumes fell to 18.3 million metric tons, from 20.9 million tons.
Copper concentrate shipments, the nation's second-biggest earner, rose 13 percent to $949 million, boosted by the start of shipments from Rio Tinto Group's Oyu Tolgoi mine. Exports of the concentrate by volume rose 13 percent to 649,800 tons.
Sales to China fell to $3.7 billion last year, from $4.06 billion a year earlier, the data showed.

Liked the convenience to casino. The pool was open and not over crowded. The elevators were always open and ready to take you anywhere.
Didn't like that we couldn't stay longer at such a fine establishment.
A entities and staff, clean
Breakfast was somewhat neglected
Good location
Breakfast. Fitness room
Maid didn't clean my room one day
I loved everything! The breakfast was amazing. The staff always had smiles on their faces and was willing to answer questions.
Allowing pets in the rooms. I did have to call down to the front desk about a dog barking, and they took care of the matter right away.
Excellent value for the price. Competent staff. Newly appointed and VERY clean, safe and quiet room. The heating unit worked well and made no sound. Comfortable bed and reasonable breakfast options. Homemade biscuits and gravy were a surprise.
The bathroom was colder than the rest of the room, but this is typical of this type of motel with space heater built in under the window.
Close to the casino.
Staff not very friendly. Just plain and all business.

Format: DVD

Category Keywords: Based On A Novel Romances Theatrical Release

|Academy Award winner Jodie Foster and international action star Chow Yun-Fat bring to life the epic true story of a woman who challenged the heart of a king and inspired the destiny of a nation. English schoolteacher Anna Leonowens has traveled to Siam to educate the fifty-eight children of King Mongkut. If she has preconceived notions about the East, the King has similar notions about the West. But amid the danger of growing political unrest, their respect for each other slowly turns into something more.
"Magnificent! New York Daily News
"...lush, lavish and completely captivating. Rex Reed, New York Oserver
Editor's NoteBased on the diary writings of English widow Anna Leonowens, who journeyed to Siam in 1862 to tutor the children of King Mongkut, this is a grand, epic motion picture that recalls the Hollywood days of yore (see 1946's ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM and 1956's THE KING AND I for earlier screen adaptations). Chow Yun Fat delivers a heartwarming performance that should finally earn him star status in America, and Jodie Foster is, as always, a magnetic screen presence. Their relationship, which is sparked by a just-beneath-the-surface romantic undercurrent, propels the story forward and provides it with its emotional core. As the film builds to its exciting climax, the relationship between the two is tested even further.

The Marine Discovery Centre at Queenscliff is calling for volunteers to help people of all ages and backgrounds to discover the wonders of the marine environment and our valuable fisheries.
Part of the Department of Primary Industries Fisheries Victoria division, the Discovery Centre is located in spectacular premises on the shores of Swan Bay.
Senior Education Officer, Alex Giannuzzi said volunteers are important for the centre.
'They are integral to our community program and help reveal the wonders of our unique marine environment and fisheries to our thousands of visitors each year,' she said.
'Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and will be fully trained.
'The training involves hands-on activities, a number of lectures and interactive interpretation training.
'We also provide an opportunity for volunteers to pursue a qualification in Tour Guiding (Cert III) through William Angliss TAFE while working at the Discovery Centre.
'Volunteers will also have an opportunity to assist with some Fisheries Victoria community engagement events throughout the year'.
Most of the staff employed at the Discovery Centre actually started as volunteers – one of these was Pam Haebich.
'The volunteer program is a fantastic way to gain experience in marine and coastal education and network with people in the industry.
'It also gives you the opportunity to meet people with similar interests and enjoy the fantastic activities that the Discovery Centre offers – from snorkelling to crafty conservation art', Ms Haebich said.
An information session for potential volunteers will be held at the Centre between 11:00am and 1pm Saturday 25 June.

Respond to Review of Avocado
by zeebianco
Review: My friend and I visited the long closed Eden on our last trip to Athens (many years ago) and upon returning this year was determined to try Advocado (which i think is the only veggie place in Athens. Quite hard to believe in a city the size of Athens but there is a deep tradition of souvlaki / kebabs etc and just a quite meaty culture. The restaurant is quite easy to find - being quite close to the historic old town and Plaka region and really is a calm relaxing place after a hot day in Athens. We walked from the "hip" Gazi area across town so were ready for some tlc. Free water while we chose from the extensive menu was a nice touch. The service was polite and relaxed with explanations offered about the various dishes. In fact it was some of the most friendly service I have had in a Vegetarian restaurant. Food was a delight. I had the veggei burger - one of the best of its kind with a lovely sauce and beetroot salad. My friend had the farmers salad with its exquisite dressing - seriously you have to try this! Dill, honey, tahini. orange, oil? Oh yes. I also tried the smoothie with advocado and almond milk - superb...The bread is also to die for with spices and a lovely sour dour texture... Unfortunately was too full to try desert or anything else and as it was our last day in Greece we couldnt go back to try more. I would serously recommend this place to anyone passing through Athens. Delicious! Updated from previous review on Friday September 30, 2011

EUREKA- August marks Summer Sun Safety month and doctors are stressing the importance of choosing the right sunscreen.
One common mistake that people make is having a false sense of security by assuming a sunscreen is waterproof. According to doctors, no brand is actually water "proof". The FDA is currently working to ban products from making water proof claims on their packaging.
But whether you are going in the water or are just sitting in the sun, doctors say you should apply your sunscreen generously and often. You should also put on the sunscreen before you go out. Some products can take up to 20 minutes to begin working, enough time for you to get burned.
Also, don't be fooled by the SPF number. Doctors say a product with an SPF of 30 will block 97 percent of harmful rays. Anything over SPF 30 does not offer significantly more protection and can be left on the shelf.
"The increased risk of melanoma is increased with sunburns. Three of them can increase your risk by 10 times; it's pretty significant," said Anne Carlisle, dermatology nurse practitioner with Humboldt Dermatology. "We definitely are seeing a lot more melanomas now-a-days. I've been in the practice for 18 years and it used to be we'd see maybe 2 or 3 a year, I'm seeing that many easily in a month."
Carlisle says to protect yourself from a severe burn and melanoma you should look for broad-spectrum sunscreens. Those products will typically have zinc oxide or titanium dioxide listed on their label. Also, you should throw out old sunscreens. Over time those products lose their efficiency. And as always, she says to cover up when going out into the sun.

Aggregate Industries U.S., a subsidiary of Holcim Ltd., has acquired Lattimore Materials Corp. (LMC), a ready-mixed concrete producer and aggregate supplier based in McKinney, Texas.
LMC will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Aggregate Industries US Inc. A different subsidiary of Holcim Ltd. has owned a minority interest in LMC since 2007.
"The acquisition of LMC will fit very well into the Aggregate Industries US operation," said Bernard Terver, Holcim Ltd United States Area Manager. "Until now, Aggregate Industries US did not have a presence in Texas. The acquisition of LMC firmly establishes Aggregate Industries US operations in this important area of the United States and allows Aggregate Industries US to fully leverage the very strong positions and reputation of LMC."
Pat Ward, senior vice president, Western Region for Aggregate Industries US, will oversee the organization's operations.
LMC was ranked No. 33 in the 2009 TCP 100; Holcim was No.5.

TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers (57-66) at Pittsburgh Pirates (67-57).
WHEN: 6:05 p.m. Friday.
WHERE: PNC Park.
BROADCASTS: TV - FS Wisconsin. Radio - AM-620.
STARTING PITCHERS: Milwaukee RHP Mike Fiers (6-6, 2.90 ERA) vs. Pittsburgh LHP Wandy Rodriguez (8-12, 4.00). Fiers, who was a rookie sensation over his first 13 starts, has come back to earth in his last two. He has gone 0-2 with a 15.43 ERA in that span. Opponents are hitting .238 against him. He made his only career appearance against the Pirates in a 6-5 loss on June 3 at Miller Park (5 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 2 HR). Rodriguez is 1-0 against the Brewers this season, with that win coming July 7, when he was a member of the Houston Astros. He has gone 1-3 with a 5.06 ERA since being traded to the Pirates in late July.
SCOUTING REPORT: The Pirates are again one of baseball's feel-good stories this season. After two decades of struggles and a second-half collapse last season, they're in the thick of the wild-card chase in the National League along with the Atlanta Braves, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pittsburgh is getting an MVP-caliber season from centerfielder Andrew McCutchen (.349, 24 home runs, 76 runs batted in) and strong starting pitching from a staff featuring holdover James McDonald (11-6, 3.73) and additions like A.J. Burnett (15-4, 3.63) and Erik Bedard. The Brewers will miss both McDonald and Burnett in this series, which, in a scheduling quirk, will be their first in Pittsburgh this season. The teams have split six games this season.
SATURDAY: Milwaukee RHP Shaun Marcum (5-3, 3.39) vs. Pittsburgh RHP Jeff Karstens (4-3, 3.79), 6:05 p.m.
SUNDAY: Milwaukee RHP Mark Rogers (1-1, 5.02) vs. Pittsburgh LHP Bedard (7-13, 4.76), 12:35 p.m.
Todd Rosiak
HUNTSVILLE (AA): Despite three shutout innings of relief from Kyle Heckathorn and R.J. Seidel, the Stars fell to the Mississippi Braves, 3-2.
WISCONSIN (A): The Timber Rattlers got home runs from Brandon Macias and Cameron Garfield to beat the Cedar Rapids Kernels, 6-3.

Two men arrested after a bank robbery and shooting in the Walterboro area last week were identified today.
Ramone Drew, 19, and Dante Drew, 23, both of Ritter Road near Walterboro, each face charges of armed robbery, kidnapping and receiving stolen goods in connection with the heist around 10 a.m. Friday of the Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union.
Ramone Drew also faces counts of unlawful carrying of a handgun, pointing and presenting a weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. Dante Drew also faces counts of failure to stop for blue lights.
The duo, whose relationship was not immediately known, entered the credit union at 814 N. Jefferies Blvd., according to an incident report. One of them pointed a handgun as they both ordered employees to the floor and demanded money.
The robbers left with a bag of cash, in which a Global Positioning System tracking device might have been placed, the police said.
Witnesses relayed a description of the getaway car, and officers from the Walterboro Public Safety Department spotted the Mazda Protégé sedan about two blocks from the credit union.
A pursuit led officers beyond city limits to Sidneys and Phillips roads, where one of the Mazdas tires blew, officials said.
The car came to a stop on Phillips Road. One of the men ran, but was soon caught. The other was found in the car.
Neighbors reported a single gunshot, and the police found a bullet hole in the Mazdas rear window. But the authorities have not clarified who fired the shot.
The State Law Enforcement Division is investigating the shooting while the FBI probes the robbery.
The police have said that the patrol cars involved in the pursuit were not equipped with video cameras.

In football it ain't about the fights it's about the hits. On the news The other day I saw that there was a game of 10/11 year olds and at the end of the game five kids had a concussion and it happens all the time in football. In hockey fight are usually like 20 seconds long and there's no problem with a fight to get the fans and the team in to the game, also protecting your teammates and who cares about getting suspended I'm talking immediately after the cheap shot or dirty hit, Example Let's say this year there was no fighting and Let's say Mcdavid gets a Intentional elbow to the face, you want his teammates to stand there? well if you do there's something wrong with that, that's why need fights.

Dodoma — THE government intends to get a soft loan from the World Bank for the planned expansion of Dar es Salaam port. The new focus on the World Bank follows the cancellation of the contentious 523 million US dollar (over 800bn/-) project involving the construction of berths number 13 and 14.
Transport Minister Dr Harrison Mwakyembe told the National Assembly on Saturday, while tabling his ministry's budget estimates for the financial year 2014/15, that the project was cancelled after learning that its costs were unrealistic and questionable.
Dr Mwakyembe said the bank through the International Bank For Reconstruction And Development (IBRD) in collaboration with the Department For International Development (DFID) and Trade Mark East Africa (TMEA) have agreed to extend to Tanzania a soft loan by 65 per cent and 35 per cent grant for the construction of berths number 13 and 14 and renovation of berths number one and seven at the Dar es Salaam port," he said.
He added that following the readiness of WB and its partners, the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) has prepared draft tender documents for the project implementation and that the documents have been posted to the bank for issuance of permit. The project is expected to take off in the next financial year (2014/15).
Dr Mwakyembe told the national assembly that the earlier estimates by Chinese firms- China Communications Construction Company Ltd (CCCC) And China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) which put the cost at 837bn/- were unreasonably high.
"The costs for the construction of the berths in question pegged at 523million US dollars about 837bn/- was too high and arises too many questions, putting into consideration that projects of that nature elsewhere have been implemented at half the costs indicated here," he said.
Dr Mwakyembe noted further that besides, the project which aimed at constructing bigger berths to allow vessels as big as PANAMAX with the length of 294.13metres and a width of 12.04metres, was discovered to be unrealistic as the available space at Dar port would not allow.
"We also discovered that so many other things were not included in the contractor's plan and we realized that the contractor had no good intention," he said.
He added that TPA would follow legal procedures in terminating the contract entered with the two Chinese firms and the matter was now in the office of the attorney general for legal advice.
In another development, the minister ordered TPA to take measures against two contractors-M/S MODSPAN and CANNOPY for abandoning construction of berths at lake Tanganyika and Nyasa respectively.
Dr Mwakyembe noted that M/S MODSPAN was contracted to construct Karema, Lagosa and Sibwesa berths at lake Tanganyika but has abandoned the work. he added that another contractor- M/S CANNOPY who was awarded tender for the construction of berths at Kagunga in lake Tanganyika and Kiwira in lake Nyasa has also abandoned the work prematurely.
He noted that various actions which the TPA has been ordered to take includes the fresh announcement of the tenders and make sure that contractors start work by August this year and complete the work in July next year. Already, tenders have been announced last month.
The TPA has also been ordered to take legal measures by suing the companies in question to the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) and Contractors Registration Board (CRB) for deregistration.
He also ordered TPA to recall the advance guarantee and performance bonds for the compensation of some of the costs, adding that already it has been discovered that M/S CANNOPY presented to TPA fake documents.
"TPA has been ordered to sue the company and investigate the conditions in which its officials accepted fake bonds," he said.
The minister asked the national assembly to approve 527,933,790,000/- out of which 93,306,391,000/- is for recurrent expenditures and 434,627,399,000/- is for development projects.

It never hurts to apologize, even if you're only partly to blame. I still think Ottawa is pinning too much responsibility for the current state of Canada's First Nations on the effects of the residential school system that operated across the country from the 19th century until the 1990s, and reached its peak enrolments between the 1920s and early 1960s.
There's no question the schools disrupted communities and made many families dysfunctional. Ripples are certainly still being felt. But a half century after the zenith of the schools' activity, they cannot be the main culprit for today's conditions among aboriginals.
Indeed, if I had to bet, I would say that 50 years hence some future prime minister will be apologizing in the Commons for the way today's massive native subsidies -- nearly $18,000 for every man, woman and child with treaty status -- encouraged a welfare dependence that devastated whole communities by robbing them of the need to be self-sufficient.
Yet, there is no denying the schools were a nightmare for too many of their pupils and their pupils' families.
Genuine and significant abuse -- physical, psychological and cultural -- occurred in them. So Wednesday's formal apology by the prime minister in the House of Commons was fully justified.
It's what happens next that's the key. After 1920, it was compulsory under federal law for all aboriginal children to attend residential school. Since most of the schools were not on reserves -- and many not near more than one or two of the country's 600-plus reserves -- this meant children as young as six or seven years old were separated from their parents for much of the year.
Where parents were unwilling to send their children voluntarily, police officers, church officials, clergymen and Indian agents would sometimes swoop down and remove the children by force.
Imagine that trauma. State agents invading your home and taking your children. They're kicking and screaming. You're being held back to prevent you from comforting them as they are ripped from their familiar surroundings.
There's a famous scene in the William Styron novel, Sophie's Choice, where the protagonist, Sophie Zawistowski, a Jewish mother living in Nazi-occupied Poland, is forced by a sadistic Nazi officer to choose which of her two children is to live and which to die at Auschwitz. As her daughter is taken away to the death camp, Sophie is screaming in despair and the crying little girl is reaching back for her mother.
While aboriginal children were not being taken away to gas chambers -- and while the experience for many students was neither abusive nor traumatic -- it's hard not to see the totalitarian overtones of the residential school law and the police-state tactics used to enforce it.
There was also an element of cultural genocide in the schools, even the good ones.
Not every school was a hellhole. Nor was every teacher at the bad ones abusive. Lost in all the blame-gaming about the schools over the past decade are the stories of dedicated missionaries and teachers working in remote locations under poor conditions to teach aboriginal students academics and useful industrial skills.
Every year, Ottawa spends more than half a billion dollars on native skills training. Many of the residential schools offered an early form of such training. If it is such a magnanimous program now, how could it have been evil 40, 50, 70 years ago?
Yes, many children who attended the schools died never seeing their parents again. But for every one who contracted a disease at the schools, there were a dozen cured of the diseases they arrived with.
But at each, to one degree or another, one of the principal goals was to eradicate "Indianness' -- to "kill the Indian in the child," as one government policy paper put it more than 80 years ago -- to erase aboriginal languages and cultures within a generation or two and assimilate natives into mainstream Canadian society.
It does matter that these efforts were well-intentioned. The people perpetrating them were not Nazis bent on exterminating aboriginals. To the extent they talked about ending Canada's "Indian problem," they did not mean by lining them up for wholesale slaughter.
The people behind Ottawa's residential school policy, both in the government and among the church workers at the schools, were the enlightened minds of their day, the social progressives out to do the right thing.
This was not, as it has been described, a Holocaust or genocide on a par with Hitler's "final solution."
But there can be no denying that one of the objectives from the start was to destroy native cultural identity, to encourage aboriginals to cease to see themselves as a people or peoples distinct from non-aboriginals. As well-intentioned as those efforts were, they were wrong. And Prime Minster Stephen Harper was right to apologize for them.
Had government agents come to round up your kids and mine, I doubt we would have kept quiet about it for 80 years or more. The schools, whether they were meant to be or not, are a stain on our history, and Harper's apology is a first step to remove it.

Just moved to South Florida for work...6-4 dude looking for a down to earth, intelligent girl who is great at talking smack!
After growing up in NY and spending my first 25 years there, I ventured out for work and lived in two amazing cities (Chicago and Scottsdale). I had a blast and wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. That said, I moved back to NYC for four great years surrounded by family and friends and now another career opportunity in sports finds me in south florida. Through my travels I have matured ;) and I now know what I want and I am starting to get excited about taking a relationship to the next level (if I meet the right person)! Plus I'm in desperate need of cute your guide. I'd like to think of myself as outgoing, down to earth and up for anything. I'm passionate about a lot of of what life has to offer - family, friends, travel...even work! Enjoy working hard and playing hard and believe the balance is important. Can go out and drink and let loose, but also appreciate staying in and just relaxing/lounging. I'm drawn to people who tend to analyze anything and can make a fun conversation out of anything. I think someone becomes increasingly more attractive the more they open up and reveal what makes them tick. And i love digging deeper and finding out more about them- I also love being challenged to think differently. I care immensely about the people I'm close to and would do anything for them...especially my 10 year old and 4 year old neices who are my favorite people in the world! Big sports junkie and enjoy playing it as much as I do watching it. Also big on being active - gym, running, hiking, and just about anything athletic. Looking for someone who is passionate and fun to be around and who can challenge me and make me a better person. Want someone who is excited to attack life together and feels that they are as lucky as I feel to have found an amazing catch....

2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Q&A
2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Question: checking transmission fluid
I would like to check the level of transmission fluid and can not find the dip stick, how many quarts does it take? - angelarthur
3 Answers
Answer 2
On the 2005 model, on the right hand side, facing the vehicle, you will see a black twist cap with a gear icon on top. Likely it will be quite dirty as it sits low to the ground and you will have to reach down into the engine bay to unscrew it, but it clean it first to prevent dirt and grit from entering the transaxle and contaminating the fluid. There is no way to check it using the traditional "dipstick" measure, but you can stick your finger in the fluid (with engine OFF and fluid cool); if you can't dip your finger tip in any fluid, chances are you are low and should have a dealer check for a leak. A new transaxle with labor will set you back more than $4,000. It is absurd that the fluid level cannot be checked conventionally to prevent such a loss of cash and use of vehicle. - Visitor

Supporters of Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying are planning a charity soccer tournament, organised by a taxpayer-funded government think tank, in the latest effort to rally the community and boost his ailing popularity.
The Chief Executive's Trophy will be contested by teams assembled from corporations and the wider community, the South China Morning Post has learned from a source close to the chief executive's camp.
Ten influential figures - all strong Leung supporters - have formed a committee to organise the event.
Details of the event have not been released.
"The trophy aims to spread positive energy to society and also boost Leung's declining popularity," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"Hong Kong: Our Home" - the official campaign aimed at unifying the city - does not appear to have met its objective some five months after it began.
But Leung's backers still believe a round of sports events might help.
Organisers plan to present the tournament as a non-governmental event, but the source said it had been initiated by Shiu Sin-por, the head of the Central Policy Unit (CPU), the government's top think tank.
"Shiu has participated in several meetings of the organising committee, though it is clear that the trophy would not give any credit to the CPU," the source said.
A spokesman for the policy unit said the proposed tournament "is not a CPU event" but refused to say whether Shiu had participated in its planning.
Leung supporter Dr Eugene Chan Kin-keung, chairman of the Association of Hong Kong Professionals, confirmed the plans for the trophy but refused to offer any further details.
The Central Policy Unit conducts research, drafts the government's annual policy address, analyses and assesses community concerns, and also provides support for the Commission on Strategic Development.
Civic Party lawmaker Ronny Tong Ka-wah said he would be disappointed if the think tank was involved in the event as it would "completely twist the objectives of the unit".
"The Central Policy Unit is set up to provide objective data to facilitate policy implementation but not organise propaganda," Tong said.
"The unit is subsidised by taxpayers' money and should not be used in this way."
Tong also questioned whether the tournament would indeed boost Leung's popularity.
The committee has registered itself as a company and plans to organise further big events.

Andrew Jones influenced Speed Painting
A speed painting, self-portrait.
I had to make myself a super villain for a project at uni, I thought why not follow a Andrew Jones tutorial and record the process. This is my first attempt at doing this kind of style I record it originally as a test but then decided to build on it.
Hope you enjoy!

45 year old woman | Roseville, CA, USA | Seeking men 35-55 within 60 miles
Active within 24 hours
Tu me manques". French for you are missing from me.
I am spirited, full of life and energy. I truly enjoy outdoor activities. I usually enjoy snowboarding in the winter months however over the past 3 years the drought has not afforded me the opportunity to hit the hills. In the summer I am in the pool with my kids, at the range, or hanging out with family and friends in Tahoe to escape the extreme heat. I am fairly athletic and I like to try new things. I can get dirty and play hard but I have a girly side too. I enjoy being active however I equally appreciate my down time. I am simple in that I value time spent with family and friends. I can find pleasure in playing board games on a Friday night , hosting a group of friends at my house for a BBQ or a night on the town with my guy. I am not a party girl where I need to be seen at the local "it" club every weekend but I do get silly from time to time and let loose. I am put together but not high maintenance and I have reached the point in my life where I have found work/life balance. Although I am a passionate person, I am fairly easy going. I am simple, yet complicated - as you can read, a walking contradiction. You? You have a strong sense of self. You are a man's man which means that you have a grasp of traditional values. You are the alpha. You are intelligent and sophisticated but you can be a goofball. You are ambitious, kind and have integrity. You are comfortable being with a strong woman and you will allow me to relax and be a lady. You will do what you say you will do. You are at a place in your life where you can communicate openly and be honest about who you are and you will take the time to truly know and understand me. I am not seeking a pen pal or a good time. I am looking for that one special guy to be a part of my life. Time is my greatest commodity and I will not waste it on dating for numbers. I have been divorced for 6 years and have been single most of this time. I wont settle as I prefer to be on my own rather than live an unhappy life. If there is an interest lets meet to see if there is a spark that cannot be forced or developed over time. A coffee or cocktail sounds like a great way to make a face to face introduction. Some deal breakers to ponder while keeping a sense of humor...saying you are divorced but you are not, too many cat pictures, "very liberal", under 30 (I'm truly flattered), old photo's..we all age, your girlfriend, your girlfriend at my house, telling me dinner is too steep, electronic courage...if you don't like the gun, swipe left... Yes I've good material :)...

I like dogs & horses. I just dont have the time to a pet requires. I am not much of a cat fan. I am terrified of snakes.
Anywhere with you. Its more about the company than the destination. I am well travelled & can adapt anywhere, however nothing is more fun than a dive bar or a mom n pop restaurant. I prefer jeans to a LBD.
Water, coffee, gun powder, the smell of jasmine, tulips, stargazers, the moon, the giggle of a child, meaningful work, my car, candy, sunshine, being under the covers when it rains, sleep, waking up early, afternoon naps, my home, men.
I hit the gym in the morning on the weekends & whenever I can throught the week. A great meal, drinks, a game of pool, chilling on the couch with that special someone orsitting around a fire.The mountains or the ocean are my favorite places to be.

The spirit of the state of Mississippi is strong.
Whether it's helping in the relief effort following the April 28 tornadoes, or seeing a fellow state baseball team in need, Mississippi State athletics has stepped up to the plate to provide any assistance it can.
The Bulldogs were ready and willing to help in the construction of tents beside the Palmeiro Center for first responders following the tornado that hit the Tupelo and the Louisville areas.
MSU and Ole Miss was also there for the Jackson State University baseball program when it lost equipment, such as balls and bats, in a bus fire on a trip to Savannah, Ga.
The Bulldogs and Tigers just happen to be participating in the same regional this weekend in Lafayette, La. On Friday, MSU plays San Diego State at 1 p.m., then Jackson State takes on No. 6 national seed Louisiana-Lafayette in the 6 p.m. nightcap.
There might be an opportunity for the Tigers to say thank you to the Bulldogs for their generosity, but in the mind of MSU baseball coach John Cohen, that's just what the people of Mississippi do.
He was glad the leadership of the Bulldogs like athletic director Scott Stricklin and President Dr. Mark Keenum led the campaign to do something for Jackson State.
"Those guys deserve the credit, but Mississippi State was not the only organization or school that helped those guys out," Cohen said. "It was a group effort.
"That's the wonderful thing about this state. It wouldn't matter who that happened to – everybody is going to chip in from this state. That's what Mississippi is all about. Everybody comes together. It doesn't matter if it's a bus situation or something much more dramatic like a tornado. That's why it's an honor to be a part of this state and the brotherhood of intercollegiate athletics."

St Pauls Cathedral Namirembe
This Gorgeous Cathedral is atop Namirembe Hill. 'Namirembe' means "the mother of peace and tranquility". It has been around since 1919 and is a Historical site. It is not only beautiful on the outside but inside as well. They have church services and many weddings are performed here. There are a couple very talented organists who play the pipe organ and the choir is outstanding. Many plaques on the walls with different stories about different missionaries and their martyrdom. Also out on the grounds are beautiful flowers and a small cemetary with graves of former misionaries and leaders. You used to have access to it but they have put a fence around it but you can still see it. The view from this hill is magnificient. It is well worth taking a tour of this bit of history.Related to:

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 3/24/13
According to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Asdrubal Cabrera injured a muscle in his back in the batting cage this morning and was subsequently scratched from the lineup for Sunday afternoon's game against the Chicago Cubs. Manager Terry Francona indicated that Cabrera would be out of the lineup both Sunday and Monday, but given that back injuries often linger, there obviously is no guarantee the injury will be healed by then. Cabrera's injury evidently threw a wrench into Francona's plan to debut his Opening Day roster this afternoon against the Cubs. Mike Aviles will replace Cabrera, resulting in the following lineup: Bourn (8) Cabrera Aviles (6) Kipnis (4) Swisher (3) Brantley (7) Santana (2) Reynolds (DH) Chisenhall (5) Stubbs (9) Jimenez (1)

There will be a few new plaques hanging in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York as of this weekend but the baseball equivalent of the Smithsonian really is not a complete museum. Unlike the basketball shrine in Springfield, Massachusetts (which included Larry Fleischer who was the first Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association as a builder) and the hockey Valhalla in Toronto, Ontario (a museum which inducted Alan Eagleson who founded the National Hockey League Players Association until he was booted for illegal activities), the Cooperstown museum has no room for perceived enemies of baseball like Marvin Miller, the founder of the Major League Baseball Players Association or Curt Flood who challenged baseball's reserve clause. Miller and Flood were major contributors to the game but perhaps they did it in a negative way. Cooperstown does honor two-bit baseball scribes for their contributions for providing baseball propaganda and inducts them into a special wing very year.
Miller just missed being elected into the Cooperstown shrine this year. Apparently there are still resentments from certain segments of baseball that linger. Flood has never been considered a serious candidate for an inclusion as a player.
Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven were voted into the Hall of Fame by baseball's ultimate sycophants--the Baseball Writers of America- last winter. Pat Gillick, a former General Manager whose stops included a stint with the Philadelphia Phillies was voted in by the veteran's committee. This year's winner of the writer's award goes to Bill Conlin who worked in Philadelphia. Roland Hemond got the Buck O'Neill lifetime achievement award and one time Montreal Expos and Florida Marlins announcer Dave Van Horne gets the announcers award.
Flood challenged the reserve clause which used to literally bind players in perpetuity to a club until the player was deemed by a general manager to be unnecessary.
"Evan, I am so pleased you said that,' was Curt Flood's response to a question back in the early 1990s when asked about the baseball fan's joy of the winter meetings--which is a meat market for baseball teams who trade human beings for others in the hopes that the teams will improve and yet forget that they trade a human being." You know you kind of have that feeling many many times that at this huge conference table, these wonderful men sit in front of all these contracts and like cards they deal them out, you know.
"You want a shortstop, you want a shortstop, here's a shortstop and unfortunately every time you move a piece of paper and I want you to think about it now. Every time you move one piece of paper from this seat in front of someone else, Mrs. Flood has to find a new school, a new apartment, a new set of friends. Mrs. Flood has to find a new neighborhood. Enormous things happen when you move one player from one town to another when you trade or sell him.
"Sometimes the owners lose sight of that."
Curt Flood was a really good baseball player who began his career in 1956 with the Cincinnati Redlegs (the franchise owners for some reason lengthened the name from the Reds to Redlegs in the 1950s partially in response to America's "anti-Red", anti-communist mood with the Reds name removed from the logo. The name Reds would return in the 1960s). He played some games with Cincinnati and was traded during the December 1957 winter meetings to St. Louis.
Flood spent 12 years in St. Louis and was dealt on October 7, 1969 to Philadelphia along with Tim McCarver, Byron Browne and Joe Horner for Dick Allen, Cookie Rojas and Jerry Johnson. It was on October 7, 1969 that life would not only change for Flood and the other players involved in the deal but the baseball industry as a whole.
Flood refused to report to Philadelphia for a variety of reasons.
"I think it was a decision that came over many, many years of subtle abuses that people under contract have to live with," he explained. "It seems that when a handful of men own the industry, advantages are taking of the employees that under no other circumstances would you sit still for. That was true in baseball before we had the chance to really seriously negotiate the rest of our lives and I guess over the years and over a period of time where I saw men being traded while they drove to the ballpark and they heard on the radio that they no longer worked for the team that they were going to get ready to go suit up for, they were traded in between doubleheaders, they were traded or sold for one reason or another, after enduring that with a lot of my friends, I'd often wonder what the heck would happen if it even happened to me.
"And in 1969 that happened and after great successes in St. Louis, one of the, I can't call them underling, but it certainly wasn't Mr. (Gussie) Busch, the owner, called me on the phone one morning and said hi Curt, you know you have been traded. You know, that was probably the most important conversation in my lifetime and sure as check, the next day, a messenger delivered an envelope with an index sized card in it and it said 'Dear" and someone types your name in, you have been and there are five possibilities. You might not know that. You could have been sold, traded, optioned or whatever, outright, right and traded was checked.
"In the 13 years in St. Louis, I don't know. I think on top of all of the other situations that I saw happen over my career span that had to be the last kick in the pants that baseball wanted to give me."
Flood was a very good player and had won seven Gold Gloves as the best centerfielder in the National League between 1963 and 1969. He hit .300 or better six times and set defensive records for a centerfielder. He was part of two St. Louis Cardinals World Series championships and was co-captain of the team. But his relationship with Busch and the Cardinals had fallen apart by 1969. One reason? He asked for $100,000 which in those days was given to just a few players like Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Flood's one time Cardinals teammate Stan Musial.

Internal Revenue Service's Charlotte office leads Adrian Project on Misenheimer campus
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 ( 1:31 pm )
On Wed., Nov. 13, the Student Accounting Society hosted the Adrian Project, a five-hour interactive fraud seminar for more than 30 student participants from Pfeiffer University and Rowan Cabarrus Community College. Special Agent Rajender West and other members of the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division were on hand to facilitate the exercise.
Students were assigned to groups and agents guided them through the significant aspects of a criminal fraud investigation. Activities included surveillance, search warrant applications, arrest, data analysis and interrogations. Students were able to discuss fraud at-length with agents and explore career options for all levels of criminal investigations.
Financial fraud and fraud examinations major Freshman Matthew Humphries believes that participating in this exercise was a valuable experience for everyone, not just accounting majors.
"The event gave me an opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes look at a real-life IRS criminal investigation," he said. "I highly recommend this activity to all students looking for an educational and experiential opportunity to leave the classroom for a day and feel like a real agent."
