Faith-based child care providers from around Indiana gathered Friday and Saturday, March 6-7, for "Caring in Faith – A Child Care Ministry Conference" at the Honeywell Center.
"We have child ministry directors coming (Friday)," according to Traci Marshall, Early Childhood Education Specialist with the Indiana Association for Child Care Resource and Referral (IACCRR). "We have about 100 of them. Then (Saturday) they'll be their staff and teachers, and we have about 200 of them attending."
Participants chose from a variety of different breakout seminars to attend throughout the two days, she said.

LAGRO -- The Lagro Township meeting was cut short Thursday Feb. 26 after newly elected board chairman Rob Cole proclaimed it an "illegal meeting" by Indiana State Code.
"Since Deb (Schenkel) isn't here," Cole said, "we're really not supposed to meet because of the Indiana law states that, IC 5-14-1.5 states that there's an open door law. Meetings have to be given 48-hours notice and it has to be posted at the location where we're meeting and in you're office Andy for 48-hours, otherwise we're meeting illegally and we could be sued because of that. So I move that we adjourn this meeting and meet at a date where we've got this 48-hour notice."
Lagro Township Trustee Andrew DeLong originally called the meeting with the board to elect the chairman and secretary positions as well as seek approval for the annual reports.
"(The meeting) was short notice, 48-hours," DeLong said to the board. "There was a time constraint on getting the annual report in. The annual report is always advertised after our meeting within two weeks within in the paper."

Two Wabash County communities received notice last week that they would receive funding from Lt.Gov. Sue Ellspermann's office.
The City of Wabash will receive a $716,122 tax credit for the Rock City Lofts. The lofts are part of the city's Stellar Community program.
Meanwhile, the Town of Lagro will receive $72,000 from Indiana's Hardest Hit Fund Blight Elimination Program (BEP).
The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) administers and manages the federal credits, which provide incentives for private developers to further the affordable housing choices throughout Indiana. Wabash's was one of 16 projects to receive $12.5 million in tax credit allocations.

LAFONTAINE -- A voter registration drive will take place here on Tuesday, March 10, Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin announced Feb. 25.
A deputy clerk from Martin's office will be at the LaFontaine Town Hall from noon to 4 p.m. for anyone interested in registering to vote.
This is the first time, Martin and Deputy Clerk Teresa Ehret said they believe, that such a drive has taken place in recent years.

By Joseph Slacian
A grand opening celebration of the new Education Center at the Wabash County Historical Museum is planned for 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 6.
The center will be located in the southwest corner of the second floor of the museum.
"We have the round barn, the farm house, a climbing tree, a canal boat and a theater stage," Museum Executive Director Mitch Figert told The Paper of Wabash County during a tour of the facility. "We also have a train table that will go here (near the entrance to the center).
"And then we'll have a science and activity center, which is essentially a cart with some activities that kids can pull out and tables they can work at."
The Education Center is designed for those in pre-kindergarten and early elementary grades, or generally for children up to 8 years of age.

The national youth outreach program Safe Place is expanding its services to Wabash County, according to Safe Place and Host Home Wabash County Coordinator Tom Curry.
In addition to educating youths about the dangers of running away or resolving a difficult, threatening situation on their own, Safe Place also creates safe locations around the community for children and teenagers to go if they find themselves in these types of situations.
"(Safe Place) is another kind of layer between the school and the police and DCS (Department of Child Services) on situations that don't quite rise to that level but are in need of help," he said. "We don't want to discourage calling the police, but … we're kind of a softer, gentler option that way."

The Wabash County Jail passed its Feb. 9 inspection by representatives of the Indiana Department of Corrections.
However, Sheriff Bob Land informed Wabash County Commissioners, there are some concerns highlighted in the report.
"Really it's the same things we've gone over," he said of the problems. "The lighting still doesn't conform to today's standards."

Sixteen teams of students from Wabash High School competed in Cupcake Wars on Thursday morning, Feb. 26, during the school's monthly Artist Lecture Series program.
The students had a variety of themes ranging from the 1980s to Cookie Monster and from Wabash High School girls' basketball to "Lady and the Tramp."
The Artist Lecture Series, offered through the WHS library, has been a part of lunchtime offering for about 25 years. This is the second time Cupcake Wars took place at WHS. The first time, according to coordinator Jeannie Cooper, was two years ago.

Tell me that's not meat! Jessica's Carolina-spiced pulled "pork" sandwiches are a must - using a mysterious Asian fruit - that look and taste pretty much like the real deal!
Living either gluten free or vegan is a challenge at best, but trying to live both diets can be downright frustrating, especially when it comes to get-togethers or, really, eating outside the house. Whether this is a lifestyle you have chosen or something that was kind of flung into your lap, here are a few great recipes to get ready for Memorial Day, the kick-off for picnic and barbecue season!
Carolina Pulled "Pork" Sandwich Seen above, 100% vegan and also soy-free! This sandwich features the incredible edible... jackfruit?
Creamy Dill Potato Salad What says "picnic!" like potato salad? This summer staple hits the mark, with tons of add-in options.
Zucchini "Pasta" Salad with Creamy Lemon Herb Dressing Both light and filling, this faux-pasta salad is a super healthy alternative to macaroni or rotini and pretty tasty, too!
Ethiopian Curried Lentils For a more ethnic option: chock-full of protein-rich lentils and veggies, this curry is super simple and is excellent served hot or cold.
Strawberry Cupcakes Celebrate strawberry season with these gorgeous dairy free and vegan cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting.
Chai Coconut Crispy Rice Bars Like a cross between a Rice Krispie Treat (marshmallow bar) and a sesame seed bar, these vegan snackbars are mighty delicious and full of whole grains!

Prediction: Winter is coming. Pretty sure.
I finally gave in and started reading Game of Thrones. When I got to the end of the first chapter, I texted a bunch of my nerd friends like, "Why do people think this is surprising? It is like super-obviously signposted!" From there, it turned into a project where I try to predict what will happen in Game of Thrones. Predicting Game of Thrones, a blog by Eyebrows McGee, with an accompanying predictions log. NOTE: this is full of spoilers for the first two books, and the first half of Book III (Storm of Swords) will be online soon. Plus any number of theories could come true in the later books.

F*** the roses, I'll smell 'em when I get to Montana
For a while I've been wanting to do a couple of things on my motorcycle:
1. Visit Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks.
2. Get an Iron Butt certificate.
So back in April I asked myself, if I plot a fast route from my home in Fairfield, California to Glacier National Park, where does that put me after 1000 miles?
Polson, Montana is where.
Now how awesome is it to be one day into your vacation, with fresh documentation for IBA, an hour and a half from Glacier National Park, and have a week left to explore? :deal
This is starting to look like a plan. I put together a tentative route.
Distance Riding
A lot of people pooh-pooh distance riding. It's a lot of slabbing. It's painful, gruelling, tiring and dangerous. You miss the best roads. You don't stop to smell the roses. Those are all good points, but distance riding has one good thing going for it: you will get to where you're going in a hurry. And that works for me due to my limited vacation time and where I want to spend it.
Now the main road (Going-to-the-Sun) through Glacier was buried in snow and wouldn't open until June 21st at the earliest.
So I tentatively scheduled for late June or early July.
And then life got in the way. Work for my clients got very busy and I couldn't just up and leave. So I rescheduled departure for September 1st, figuring the parks would start getting less crowded after Labor Day.
Got up at 2am today so hopefully will be able to sleep starting this afternoon and depart around midnight.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XyOD-ctLXv0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
:clap :ricky
Hi Rod, Glacier was going to be one of my larger moto trips this season and much like your situation with only a limited time frame I just want to GET there and then spend my time really exploring the park. I took on another job at the end of May and unfortunately had to push my plans out to next summer. :cry
Excited follow along with your report I'll be taking notes of the highlights once you're up there :deal
Welcome UpST8 and LittlePosum!
Wee is all loaded up; took her for a short errand and test run. She wonders what we're waiting for. :lol3
This seems like the way I would do a ride like that. Seems a bit crazy but definitely doable and a lot of fun anyway. Haven't been up that way in years. I'm in.
Ride safe and have a great time. :clap
I'll be hitting Yellowstone and glacier in about a month, looking forward to your report!
Sorry for the delay in updating! Just made it to Great Falls and finally have wi-fi and some time to kill. And yes, the Saddlesore was successful. :D
More to come....
I've been tempted to do the saddlesore on my V-Strom 650, Once I get better touring tires, Dualsport tires won't like me driving 1k miles in a day. :)
I have the same issue as you, limited time.
Day 1: Sunday, September 1
Day 1 includes an hour of the day before, as I left Fairfield at 11pm Saturday. I had gotten about 5 hours of sleep and was just tossing and turning, anticipating the things to come. The hell with it, better to leave now and take a "power nap" on the road than to lie in bed any more.
Here's the route for today: http://goo.gl/maps/Uheh8
Gassed up in Fairfield to get my first receipt and start the clock. Then up I-505 and I-5 I go.
It's a mild evening, and a serene ride to the next gas stop in Redding after 171 miles.
Around Shasta Lake there were some nice sweepers. Riding them in the dark was surreal.
But then, as altitude increased my ride went into the deep freeze. 2000, 3000, 4000 feet. Brrr!
After the gas stop in Klamath Falls, dawn was approaching.
Not only have I NEVER been this cold on a motorcycle, I was getting sleepy. :eek1
And, morning mist was becoming a problem on the visor (and camera lens as you see here).
I took a couple or rest stops, and each of those helped but not for very long.
So then I tried a cat nap. Pulled off here, hopped the guard rail, set my phone timer for 30 minutes and zonked out behind the big tree:
That was good for about an hour. But I can't take 15 naps and still finish this ride on time. It was time to pull out the big guns. Drugs. That's right, Diet Coke! An excellent source of caffeine.
That did the trick. I bought a half liter of the stuff and chugged it whenever I needed a jolt. Problem solved.
On into Washington State, passing the Columbia River in Kennewick:
Idaho was Beautiful. But I knew Montana was going to be something special when I saw the first speed limit sign.
But the last part of the ride, starting in St. Regis, was the best of all.
Now who ever said iron butt rides are boring? :lol3
Final gas stop in Polson to collect my ride end receipt. 1,035 miles. :clap
Great start to a great vacation. Enjoy yourself!
yeeeehaaw!!! :p3rry Great start!!! Keep er going :D
Day 2: Monday (Labor Day), September 2
Some riding friends whom I encountered in Polson recommended that I take a little detour on my way to Glacier. This route would take me along Lake Koocanusa, which is a reservoir formed by the damming of the Kootenay River in 1975. "Koocanusa" is an amalgam of "Kootenay", "Canada" and "USA" as the lake in partly in British Columbia and partly in Montana.
The route for today is this: http://goo.gl/maps/bOqSJ
Some pics from the ride to and along the lake:
And then, passing through the town of Whitefish on the way to Glacier was a small adventure ride in itself:
Effect on bike and boots was substantial. :lol3
Entering the park, I elected not to wait my turn for a photo-op here.
If you are 62 or older, be sure to get the lifetime National Parks Pass. Mine got me past the park ranger babe with a map to boot. :D
Guess I better watch my speed in the park. :eek1
And so I first set rubber to the Going-to-the-Sun road.
Raindrops start hitting my face shield as I approach the entrance to my chosen campground.
With half off for senior pass holders, my stay in Glacier came to a grand total of $10. :deal
Fearing the downpour that never came, I set up camp in a hurry.
Dinner: Sardine tortilla wraps and Pinot Grigio. Camp dining at its finest. :wink:
Sunset over Lake McDonald is the perfect ending to a perfect day.
Great write up and pictures.....looking forward to more. My wife and I just got back from Glacier a couple weeks ago and we also spent some time in Waterton Nat. Park.

Literature: The Pact
A novel by Jodi Picoult. Chris Harte and Emily Gold are teenagers from two neighbored and very close families in a small New England town. As teenagers their relationship develops into a romance. When they are seniors in high school, however, both families are called to the hospital: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot to the head, and Chris says the two had intended to carry out a suicide pact. The police, however, believe that Chris is lying about the pact to cover up the fact that he murdered Emily.
Contains examples of:
- Amoral Attorney: Barrie Delaney.
- Auto Erotica: Chris and Emily.
- Childhood Friend Romance: Deconstructed. Chris and Emily have known each other so long that Emily can't help but feel like she's making out with her brother, and she is ultimately forced to admit that she simply doesn't see him in a romantic way, but she also loves him enough that she can't bring herself to break his heart by leaving him.
- Coming and Going: Chris and Emily have sex one last time before Emily's death.
- Driven to Suicide: Emily. Subverted with Chris.
- Embarrassing First Name: Sue Barrett "Barrie" Delaney, the prosecutor.
- False Soulmate: Emily to Chris; no matter how much he loves her, she is never able to see him as anything but a brother.
- Fish out of Water: Chris when he is in jail. Since he is 18, he goes to adult jail instead of juvenile hall. Also, to a lesser extent, Chris after leaving jail, since he was jailed for a year and doesn't have anyone in his life who understands what he's been through.
- Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Emily. Because she was molested as a child, she doesn't want the doctor touching her. This would be a Justified Trope, but people avoiding or regretting abortion is a common theme in Jodi Picoult's stories.
- Gossipy Hens: The women Gus (Chris' mother) sees in the grocery store.
- High School Sweethearts: Emily and Chris, of course.
- I Cannot Self-Terminate: On the night she dies, Emily is unable to go through with shooting herself and pressures Chris into doing it. She places both of their hands and pulls the trigger, which kills her.
- Like Brother and Sister: Emily and Chris as children. As they got older, Chris's feelings toward Emily became more romantic, while Emily's remained the same, hence why she was uncomfortable being sexual with Chris.
- The Lost Lenore: Emily.
- My Secret Pregnancy: Emily until her death.
- Not What It Looks Like: Arguably the entire point of the book.
- Parental Favoritism: As in almost all of Jodi Picoult's books. Gus forgets about her daughter Kate while Chris is on trial. Kate wakes her up on Christmas day with a Christmas tree and gifts she bought with her own money. Gus, having forgotten it was Christmas, is shocked. Kate realizes her mother has forgotten about her and says "What do I have to do to make you see me? Kill someone?" Gus, realizing the significance of this (Chris is on trial for the murder of Emily), slaps her.
- Plot-Triggering Death: Emily's.
- Poor Communication Kills: Literally. Emily would have lived had Chris told anyone at all that she was suicidal.
- Rape as Backstory: Emily.
- Self-Harm: At one point, when Chris and Emily are broken up, a despaired Emily carves Chris's name into her skin.
- Single-Target Sexuality: Chris, though he loses his virginity to another girl, only ever loves Emily. While Emily's feelings for Chris aren't really romantic, she's also never shown showing the slightest interest in anyone else.
- Suicide Pact: The plot of the book. Subverted when it turns out that Chris was never planning to kill himself; Emily, however, was, and Chris was playing along to try and stop her from doing it.
- Sympathetic Adulterer: James Harte, Chris' father, becomes more distant, and Melanie Gold, Emily's mother, goes into denial about Emily's death. So, their spouses, Augusta "Gus" Harte and Michael Gold respectively, start meeting each other secretly. At one point they share a kiss, though it doesn't lead to anything.
- Teen Pregnancy: Emily; she was only a few weeks along when she killed herself.
- Trauma-Induced Amnesia: Chris doesn't remember Emily killing herself.
- Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: See Parental Favoritism above.

When a golf pro's wife and her doctor are murdered in Palm Springs, The California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is called in to investigate. Patrick Jane, a detective and independent consultant for CBI, uses his razor sharp skills of observation to assist a by-the-book Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon and her team (agents Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and rookie member Grace Van Pelt) in finding the killer. The case poses a particular interest for Jane as the killer's calling card (a red smiley face drawn with the victim's blood) suggests it is the famed "Red John": a serial killer who years ago murdered Jane's wife and daughter. However, after further investigation, Jane's mentalist skills tell him the real killer is trying to pin the murders on "Red John" and the team needs to take a closer look at the other suspects including the golf pro, who was having an affair; his brother, who was sleeping with his brother's wife; and the doctor's business partner, who was embezzling money. And while the team may question Jane's tactics, they know working together with him will help lead them to solving the crime.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is an overall great camera that delivers significant improvements over the RX100 II, but not everyone will think it's worth the extra cost.
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II has some solid capabilities and a standout lens, but the overall experience just doesn't live up to its price.
While it's not a no-brainer upgrade over the Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is worth the price premium if better performance and configurability matter to you.
Technically Incorrect: In a Facebook Q&A, Mark Zuckerberg's intellect is tested by one of the world's great minds.
Starting July 1, smartphones sold in the state must come with software that lets users lock a stolen phone so it can't be used, making it harder to resell. Crime statistics show the tech is already working.
Polarr opted not to build an app specifically for Apple's iOS software, instead going the less-traveled route of using more-universal Web technologies. That decision is now paying off with droves of downloads.
Now that America's MegaBots and Japan's Suidobashi Heavy Industries have both built giant, pilot-controlled robots, it seems obvious what has to happen next.

Nick Diaz out of EliteXC/Strikeforce without even testing positive?
I saw this on Sherdog and some other sites. I cut off a little at the end that wasn't about this issue.
From Sherdog.com
Diaz Speaks on CSAC
By Danny Acosta
[3/27/2008] SAN JOSE, Calif., March 27 -- With the showdown between Frank Shamrock and Cung Le two days away, the focus of Thursday's EliteXC/Strikeforce news conference gravitated toward Nick Diaz's removal from Saturday's card.
EliteXC President Gary Shaw expressed an enormous amount of discontent with the situation. He explained that he had spoken to Armando Garcia earlier in the week and said the California State Athletic Commission executive officer mentioned no issues.
"Nick Diaz was the single first fighter that was medically cleared and had every medical in from the EliteXC side. He had all his medicals in," said Shaw, refuting Garcia's claim that the information was not received in time. "He did them roughly up to two and a half weeks ago."
Shaw said Diaz's trouble stems from his use of medical marijuana, which is legal in California and which Shaw believes Garcia is unjustly holding against Diaz. The longtime promoter compared Garcia's actions to issuing a speeding ticket to the driver of a Ferrari after assuming the driver would break the speed limit.
"Armando Garcia overstepped his boundaries, in my humble opinion," Shaw said. "I am a former regulator, and he had no right to pull Nick Diaz off this card. Nick Diaz did not test positive for drugs, was not offered any pre-fight drug test or any other type of screening."
Shaw believes Diaz -- who will not receive his $50,000 purse -- has legal recourse. The promoter has already contacted his own legal team on the matter.
"It's wrong what [Garcia] did to Nick," Shaw said. "It's wrong what he did to mixed martial arts. It's wrong what he did to Scott Coker and myself. It's wrong what he did to the opponent of Nick's, who trained to fight Nick. It's wrong for everybody they advertised that Nick would fight on this card."
As Shaw began closing out the news conference, Diaz arrived along with trainer Cesar Gracie. He made the following statement:
"I want to thank Gary Shaw for having me up here and being so good to me. I want to apologize for not being here fighting today. I was looking forward to fighting Mr. Ice Pick, but you know it doesn't look like it's going to happen this time. I apologize. I was looking forward to a good performance -- training hard, in shape, still on weight. I come to fight. I trained to fight, but unfortunately it's not going down. Hopefully see you next time, and I just want to apologize to everybody for not pulling it off this time and making it in there to fight. Thank you."
Diaz started away from the microphone, but he returned quickly to reiterate points made earlier by Shaw. He said he would have tested clean and that his marijuana is prescribed, legal and treats his ADD/ADHD.
The CSAC was well aware of this ahead of time, according to Diaz and Shaw. Shaw likened the commission's actions to entrapment.
"I just feel like everybody in the state of California who has a legal cannabis club card should be able to have their choice," said Diaz, who will compete on EliteXC's June 14 card. "The way I see it is, [it's] one alternative to Ritalin or anti-depressants or something like that. I'm not going to take carcinogenic chemical drugs."
This seems like total crap. Regardless of whether he smokes marijuana on a regular basis, he claims that he is 100% sure he would test clean for the fight. So CSAC is allowed to guess whether you smoke weed during training, and can bar you from fighting for it?
And 2nd, they claim his medical forms weren't submitted in time, even though EliteXC says Diaz was the first fighter to submit all his information.
I don't even smoke marijuana, but I think this is incredibly unfair and stupid. I like Nick Diaz as a figher, even though he acts like a jerk sometimes, but it seems like he did everything on the up and up this time and got screwed. Fortunately it seems like EliteXC is sticking up for him in this situation.
Anyone have any opinions on this?

It's not unheard of to self medicate with the chiba....I can't get a card for it though, I think, in today's world...it's still better to keep that on the DL....all you need is some asshole with an attitude, who's also in a position of power.
Sad, really...he's one of my fav fighters.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
While driving a popular model from Hyundai's US Santa Fe SUV range, we may have stumbled upon the missing gem in Korean giant's local current engine line-up – the turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol four-cylinder.
That engine in that vehicle helps provide a very smooth and fast mid-sized SUV, the all-wheel-drive Santa Fe Sport.
While aimed to satisfy the American preference for a typically plush ride-and-handling tune, this Santa Fe is way-less languid under the bonnet. Delivering a lively 197kW of power (at 6000rpm) and 365Nm of torque (starting from 1750rpm), the twin-scroll 2.0-litre turbo accelerates hard, without vibration or unseemly commotion, but with effortless flexibility. The accompanying Hyundai six-speed auto works well with the turbo too, not hunting about and always responding well when the throttle is used positively for fast overtaking. Hyundai claims it will accelerate from 0-100km/h time is around 6.6secs.
Driving on a varietal mix of LA traffic madness, with its interminable traffic signals and four-way Stop signs, and a flit down the loaded 405 multi-lane freeway to San Diego, the Santa Fe Sport 2.0-litre turbo managed fuel economy of 22.1 miles per US gallon, or 10.6 litres/100km. Not too shabby for a 1.7 tonne family chariot.
The soft damping and springs work brilliantly on Los Angeles' patchwork freeway network but less so on the twists and turns of the canyon roads, where we had to deal with more body roll and pitch than we're accustomed to.
Still, with a complementary sporting suspension tune, it isn't hard to sense the energetic yet smooth engine might be an asset in a local Santa Fe.
But that's unlikely anytime soon. The turbo 2.0-litre petrol is not really a chance of making it to Australia in the current Santa Fe as, to date, this engine is offered only in left-hand-drive versions.
But Hyundai Australia admits it's certainly an engine it is interested in and would consider if its parent company could free it up for our market. Given that 41 per cent of all the Santa Fe SUVs sold here are top-of-the-range Highlanders, it's obvious that Australians don't mind choosing expensive options. There appears to be a strong case to selling it alongside the present 2.2-litre turbo-diesel in the $50K Highlander.
The only current petrol choice in the Santa Fe is a non-turbo 2.4-litre.
Over to you, Hyundai Motor Corporation.
Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T AWD
Nuts and bolts:
How much? Not sold here, but $50,000-$55,000
Engine: 2.0-litre 4-cyl turbo petrol
Transmission: 6-sp auto
Power: 196kW
Torque: 365Nm
Weight: 1700kg
Consumption: 10.6L/100km

Why do we have a trailer for Maleficent here? The easy answer is, "Why not?" The character has appeared in several different comics. This new trailer was just released and I'm curious what the thought is around here. Sure it's not a superhero movie but check it out.
"Maleficent" explores the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the classic "Sleeping Beauty" and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she presides, Maleficent cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king's newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever.
The film stars Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.
Hmm. She's not green. Is she going to turn into a dragon? I'll definitely check it out.
Maleficent opens in theaters on May 30, 2014.
Award-winning, American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey has recorded a unique reimagining of the renowned fairy-tale tune from Disney's classic animated film "Sleeping Beauty," which will feature in the end credits of the upcoming Disney film.
Lana Del Rey's "Once Upon a Dream" is free for a limited time, only on Google Play, Google's online store offering digital music, movies, books, games and more. The song was made available as a free download today and will be available exclusively on Google Play through Monday, February 3rd [http://smarturl.it/ldrgps1].

No surprises here. By virtue of its memorable 21-17 win over LSU, undefeated Alabama remains at the top of the conferences heap. Where does the remainder of the leagues premier teams five of which are in the BCS top 10 this week fall? Here are this weeks SEC Power Rankings: 1. Alabama (9-0, 6-0) LSU put a scare into Alabama, but the Crimson Tide and quarterback AJ McCarron proved again that nothing fazes them. Last-minute deficit? Against a nasty defense? No problem. Alabama remained No. 1 in the BCS standings thanks to its victory over LSU and moved closer to the SEC Championship game. 2. LSU (7-2, 3-2) The Tigers had Alabama in the perfect place after playing an excellent game, but couldnt stop the Tide on the final drive. They lost the game, but might have gained a wiser and more decisive quarterback. Zach Mettenberger played his best game as a Tiger and showed that he could be a force the rest of the season. 3.

Very small room, no windows. Very noisy, you can hear everything that happens in the hostel. The staff is not very friendly. You shouldn't be shy when you go to the showers. The breakfast is ok. The only positive point is that It is well located, I don't recommend It though.

I was slightly hesitant about booking because of the so-so reviews, but this place was awesome! Great location close to the hip part of town as well as the central old town, friendly staff, decent free breakfast, and the facilities were above average. We stayed in a private double and it did the trick. Definitely recommend.

Toledo faced an unprecedented water crisis Aug. 2-4: A toxic algal bloom in Lake Erie contaminated the city's water supply and made the water undrinkable for nearly 500,000 residents.
The immediate crisis has passed, but the threat to drinking water there and in other vulnerable Great Lakes communities persists. The same factors that led to Toledo's water crisis — toxic algal blooms fueled by nutrient pollution running into Lake Erie — won't go away until the larger problems of farmland runoff and sewage treatment are addressed.
Lake Erie is in danger from harmful algal blooms, and so are those who rely on it for drinking water.

Architectural stability refers to the extent to which a software architecture is flexible enough to respond to changes in stakeholders? requirements and the environment. We contribute to a novel model that exploits options theory to evaluate architectural stability. We describe how we have derived the model: the analogy and assumptions made; its formulation and possible interpretations. We use a refactoring case study to empirically evaluate the model. The results show that the model can provide insights into architectural stability and investment decisions related to the evolution of software systems.

IMO they should be written out of the rules to reduce the gap between CRT and factory efforts.

Anges Creek Bridge Repaired!
According to the National Park Service, the footbridge is
now in place across Agnes Creek on the Agnes Creek Trail and is open to both hikers and stock. The bridge is located one-half mile from the Agnes Creek Trailhead in the Stehekin Valley of Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. The Agnes Creek Trail is part of the Pacific Crest Trail which spans from Mexico to Canada.
The Agnes Creek Trail footbridge was destroyed during the winter of 2006-7 by a large fallen tree. A temporary bridge was put in for the 2007 summer season, while a more permanent replacement was designed. The new
bridge was flown into place on the morning of July 2nd and trail crews have been working to secure the bridge and complete the footing and handrails.
Kudos to the Park Service for repairing this important bridge and restoring access to the PCT!

Letter: Martin County organization gets clothing to thousands of children
The Dec. 6 editorial voicing concern about clothing drop boxes is not correct. Caring Children/Clothing Children Inc. (4Cs), a Stuart nonprofit, has been collecting clothing for 14 years and distributing clothes to needy children in Martin County.
Most of the clothing is left in bins located on school grounds. Last year, nearly 5,000 children were served.
Our organization is a Martin County United Way-funded agency.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) can be severely painful and incapacitating and may require aggressive pain management medicines such as opiate therapy when more conservative approaches fail. People with IC can experience both acute and chronic pain:
Many IC patients find some pain relief from performing simple techniques that can be done at home:
In addition to pain medicines, nonpharmacologic treatments for IC pain: diet modification, physical therapy (pelvic floor relaxation exercises), acupuncture/acupressure, electric nerve stimulation, ultra sound therapy, biofeedback training, hypnosis and cognitive therapy. Researchers hope to understand how best to maximize the effectiveness of pain control for both genders.

At the State Department, spokesman Mark Toner said the E1 plans are "especially damaging" to prospects for a resumption in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
The E1 area "area is particularly sensitive and construction there would be especially damaging to efforts to achieve a two-state solution," Toner said in a statement.
The fate of Jewish settlements is at the heart of the current four-year impasse in Mideast peacemaking. The Palestinians say continued settlement construction is a sign of bad faith, and they refuse to return to the negotiating table unless Israel stops the building. More than 500,000 Israelis now live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Israeli officials say the Palestinians have negotiated with previous governments while settlement construction took place. They also note that even when Netanyahu imposed a 10-month partial freeze on construction in 2009 and 2010, there were no serious peace talks. Netanyahu says negotiations should begin immediately without any preconditions.
But last week's U.N. vote appears to have marked a turning point. While the U.S. and Europe have long opposed the settlements, their new condemnations used especially sharp language, and rarely are Israeli ambassadors publicly grilled.
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt told parliament that "together with other EU countries we will discuss other potential steps," though he would not elaborate.
British government officials said the EU would be looking to President Barack Obama for leadership on the matter, and that British diplomats were in touch with American counterparts in London.
One EU official in Brussels said the matter will be high on the agenda of a meeting of European foreign ministers next Monday, and will also be discussed with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton during a planned visit this week.
The British and EU officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing internal deliberations, and no firm policy had been set.
Silke Temple, a Mideast expert at the German think tank DGAP, said the European reaction was "indeed harsher" than in the past. She said Germany was likely to raise the issue of settlements with Netanyahu during a visit this week.
"There certainly will be a message at this week's consultations that it is not helpful. Constructing settlements just isn't constructive," she said.
Officials in Britain, France, Spain, Sweden and Denmark all said that no specific threats were made during Monday's meetings.
Avi Primor, a former Israeli ambassador to Germany, said he didn't think Israel had reached a "new era" in relations with Europe quite yet. But he said there is a "long-term process of public opinion gradually turning against Israel."
"Public opinion simply cannot understand the Israeli policy in occupied territories, the refusal to have a genuine peace process. Eventually, this lack of understanding will surely have an influence on governments," he said.
The diplomatic process is likely to remain on hold in the coming weeks as Israel prepares for new parliamentary elections. According to opinion polls, Netanyahu is expected to win re-election as head of a hardline coalition dominated by pro-settler politicians. Netanyahu's tough public stance in recent days may be motivated, in part at least, at creating a strong image for Israeli voters.
Palestinian officials have indicated they will wait until after the Israeli election on Jan. 22 before deciding how to proceed with their newfound diplomatic status at the U.N. Officials say they hope Obama will present a new formula for resuming peace talks after the Israeli vote.

Moshi — THE government has been seeking views of investment stakeholders throughout the country after completing the preparations for general review of the investment policy framework.
Under scrutiny and consequent review are the 1996 National Investment Promotion Policy and the 1997 Tanzania Investment Act. The initial work was done in collaboration with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); to evaluate the current policy situation and make recommendations to enable the country to attract higher investment to exploit its full potential.
Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) Acting Manager for Northern Zone, Mr George Mukono says the review aims to identify areas for improvement of investment environment and business, to simplify investment procedures and run of business.
The land legislation has also been of great concern to many stakeholders, and was also subject for revision, land rights registration were accelerated, notably by providing stronger incentives for registration.
Local investors in Northern Zone are of the opinion that investment policy favours foreigners, leaving the locals in the cold, and are thus calling for action to reverse the trend, if locals are to prosper.
Mr Joachim Minde, a prominent businessman and investor in Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions, calls for limitations against foreigners in terms of trade restrictions, saying the current system does no justice to the locals.
Mr Minde who runs Kilemakyaro Mountain Lodge at Moshi, Laitolya Tours & Safaris Ltd and several hotels in Arusha contends that a vivid example is on investment in natural resources such as land and minerals, where locals are forced to retreat, regardless of their ability and desire.
He says if it is difficult for amendments to be done then action should be taken now in the on-going Constituent Assembly (CA) so that any changes in the laws may be binding.
"The investment policy and the law favours foreigners. The CA should now move to insert 'dos' and 'don'ts' in trade instead of the free market that has been cause of hopelessness in this sector," proposes Mr Minde.
His proposal is that limitations to foreign investors should be in terms of investment period. He says giving foreigners too long contracts deprives the locals of their basic rights.
However, globalization apparently integrates the economies of neighbouring and of trading state, usually forced to trade off such rules as part of a common tax, tariff and trade regime, as defined by a free trade pact, whereby agreements between countries increase level of free trade, by creating special tax, tariff and trade regulations that can reduce barriers.
Mr Minde's argument could recline a type of investment policy that favours local investors over foreigners, that is typically discouraged in such pacts, and the idea of a separate investment policy rapidly becomes a fiction or fantasy, as real decisions reflect the real need for nations to compete for investment, even from their own local investors.
Mr Minde proposes for an overhaul of the investment system so as to broaden tax base and make sure the big traders are subjected to the required tax and ensure economy growth, as "Caesar needs every coin".
The investor is upbeat that changing the investment policy would help local investors, but also help create jobs to many youths who are wondering about in the streets despite having graduated from local as well as foreign varsities and colleges.
Mr Emmaniel Masenga is at one with Mr Minde on the aspect of protection of the locals, and pleads with TIC to see to it that local businessmen who toil in running industrial units and create employment opportunities are not let down by importation of cheap and unworthy goods.
Jonas Mshiu, a company manager, says importation of cheap goods makes it difficult for local investors to compete, given the operation costs that include a lot of items. He said the effects of foreigners being favoured at the expense of the locals are adverse and could setback on employment creation opportunities.
They are on all fours with an economist from Prime Minister (PMO)'s Office, Mr Bariki Mwasaga who says the investment policy and Act were outdated, given changes that have occurred since 1997. The overhauling would help phase out bureaucracy from the authorities responsible for investment matters.
Mr Mwasaga, from Policy and Planning Department, proposes the policy and act need to take on board current national broad goals, like National Development Vision 2025 and that is the rationale for review. "There is a need to update investment regime to address emerging business environment and investment climate challenges.
Address linkages among investment promotion agencies, align with sectoral investment priorities embodied on policies and legislation," says Mr Mwasaga.
He also notes some of the current policy challenges including inadequacy in coordination of investment approval process, enabling environment for doing business, domestic and foreign investments, as well as exports and low value addition.
Mr Mwasaga unveils the proposed policy objectives as to strengthen institutional, legal and regulatory framework for investment, strengthen business linkages for large business and develop corporate social responsibility principles.
The economist says there is a need to define principles of special preference to domestic investors, develop quantifiable criteria and evaluation of investment incentives and their administration.
Vital in that respect also, are enhanced transparency, negotiations, technical capability and capacity building for investment projects and agreements. Elaborating on the government's policy, Dr Florens Turuka, Permanent Secretary in PMO's office says socioeconomic reforms are geared to improve business environment and investment climate, making Tanzania increasingly attractive, robust and viable investment destination for both domestic and foreign investors.
"The ultimate goal is to ensure that Tanzania achieves higher rates of inclusive economic growth commensurate to her competitive advantage in terms of abundant natural resources as well as strategic geographical location as a logistical hub to the rest of the continent, which provides investors with access to regional and global markets," he says in his preface to "OECD Investment Policy Reviews: Tanzania".
Tanzania has enjoyed uninterrupted peace, political stability and tranquility since independence. These key attributes, coupled with the existence of robust institutions for investment promotion and facilitation, have contributed to making the country's investment climate unique and increasingly attractive.
That is corroborated by another preface from Deputy Secretary-General, OECD , Mr Rintaro Tamaki who says Tanzania is currently one of the strongest performers of the non-oilproducing countries in Sub- Saharan Africa, whose Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth that has exceeded 6% for ten consecutive years and stood at 6.9% for 2012-13.
He is happy that domestic and foreign private investment has significantly risen over the last two decades as Tanzania has steadily improved its investment environment and striven to increase opportunities for foreign and domestic investors, notably by opening to international trade and investment and liberalising its financial sector.

*Now listening, will post comments*
Edit: I'm not sure what niche your podcast fills, to be honest. I already have Giant Bombcast for the news, and hell, NintenDownload X-Press for digital releases.
What you guys do have is an appreciation of older games, especially ones that are somewhat under the radar (H.A.W.X., Eternal Sonata). Rather than simply gloss over what you guys played over the weekend, I would love to hear a podcast in which you guys discuss an older game each week, in great (spoiler-filled) detail, maybe even to defend it against your peers and the gaming media. Truly, there's a unfilled need for fans to talk about these games, rather than professional critics.
Just a suggestion though.

there not often, and there not so terrible where I need to take something or else I'm gonna go crazy! but that are very uncomfortable! and it hurts all the way around into my lower back and then I get really nauseous. Sound normal to anyone?
Cramps normal??
Comments (4)
A house full of BOYS!!!!
I had cramps so bad yesterday in my whole stomach that I went home from work to rest. They really freak me out because I have no idea what it is. I do know that you can get contractions during pregnancy and this can be normal. And sometimes constipation can cause that cramping as well.
When you need to worry is if you start leaking any fluid or bleeding. This are two signs that something is very wrong.
Other than that, try to hang in there. Drink lots of water. And my doctor says that plain tylenol can be safe to take during pregnancy. Just talk to your nurse if it gets worse. you can always do that.
In the beginning of my pregnancy, I was having such bad cramping that I was going to go get checked up. Never did and I ended up bleeding. Turns out it was only a blood clot. But it sure freaked me out. one thing I learned is that during the first trimester, there is almost nothing they can do to save the baby. you just need to take care of your self. Avoid foods that may contain bacteria as this can make you sick . and do your best to stay healthy. Its all you can really do.
One more tip is that dehydration can cause contractions. I found this out when I was having them frequently. And I figured out that I literally have to drink water constantly to help. like one glass every hour up to 10 glasses a day is the best.

The winners of the prestigious best actor award include some of the most believable performances of our time: Brando in "The Godfather" and Hoffman in "Rain Man."
Those showings are rivaled by this year's front-runner for best actor in the NBA playoffs: Utah's Deron Williams in Game 2 vs. the Nuggets on Monday night.
Dribbling on the right wing, Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony backs into Williams, who falls backward to the floor once Melo initiates contact. Anthony is called for a charge, 19,155 boos fill the Pepsi Center and TNT analyst Mike Fratello offers this explanation to the home viewers: "Melo knows he can overpower the smaller people. . . . (Williams) set him up, took a little bit of a flop, got the call."
In Denver's Game 2 loss, the Nuggets were called for eight offensive fouls, some arguably the result of Jazz players pulling the equivalent of Academy Award performances, flopping to the floor after a bump from the Nuggets offensive player. How the Nuggets adjust to both Utah's defensive tactics, and the referees, may determine Game 3 tonight as the series turns to Utah.
"When flopping and flailing is rewarded, it is a tough game to play for a guy (Anthony) who does not know how to do either," said Rex Chapman, Denver's vice president of player personnel.
To the untrained eye — that of a jersey-clad fan holding a beer — many charges Monday night seemed like flops. But even to the trained eye — that of a uniform-clad official holding a whistle — the difference between a charge and a flop is difficult to decipher.
NBA rules feature meticulous, mind-numbing detail, but here are two of the league's basic tenets on the charge/block call:
• A defensive player is permitted to establish a legal guarding position in the path of a dribbler, regardless of his speed and distance.
• If an offensive player causes contact with a defensive player who has established a legal position, an offensive foul shall be called.
Flop or not, good acting or good defense, the Jazz is among the best at getting the call. During their four regular-season matchups, the Nuggets were called for 11 offensive fouls compared to the Jazz's six.
"You play against Utah, if you aren't under control, you're going to get called for six, seven charges," Nuggets acting coach Adrian Dantley said. "That's the key to us winning the game. We can't go in there and run over someone, because that's what they're going to do (draw a charge). They're not going to block any shots."
With the series tied 1-1, a big story line heading into tonight's game is how much flexibility the refs will give Anthony, the Nuggets' offensive heartbeat. Called for four charges Monday night as he battled foul trouble all night, Anthony said this week he was penalized for his physical prowess.
"I'm so much bigger than my opponent, any nudge, shove, anything like that — I get penalized for it," he said.
Utah defender C.J. Miles, who drew charges against Anthony in Game 2, denies acting his way to a good call, saying, "I'm not a flopper by any means. I'm just trying to make sure I have my body on him; make sure that I don't let him just run me over."
At 33, Denver point guard Chauncey Billups has been drawing charges for more than a decade, but Monday night he was whistled for a critical charge late in the game.
"There is creativity involved," Billups said in getting the call on defense. "There are some guys who are really good at it. Me, personally, I'm not really good at drawing charges. I can draw it when I'm defending the ball, but off the ball, getting my feet set and getting ready to take the contact, there's a technique to it."
Billups is known for his creativity with the ball too. Some might call it a reverse flop. Over the years, he has been known to kick his leg out while shooting in order to draw a call. Defensively, he'll sometimes jerk his neck back upon contact, speaking to the refs with body language.
As for flopping, Billups isn't too keen on falling to the floor, though he has seen it evolve in the NBA. When Vlade Divac first hit the NBA hardwood in 1989, no one flopped better. The Hornets' Peja Stojakovic, among the best today, once called Divac "the father of flopping."
Billups said the charge/block call is difficult but when a defender gets bailed out by a referee, there are few things that upset a defensive player more.
"It's really frustrating," Billups said. "I always talk to the refs about it, because if a guy flops on me but they don't call it, it still makes me take a difficult shot. So it takes me off the shot I was trying to take. No, they don't call the flop (as a charge), but it still puts me in a bad situation. So it's a tough deal."

What constitutes an offensive foul
What is a charge and what is a blocking foul? What NBA officials look for when calling an offensive foul.
If an offensive player causes contact with a defensive player who has established a legal position, an offensive foul (charging) shall be called.
A defensive player is permitted to establish a legal guarding position in the path of a dribbler regardless of his speed and distance.
A defensive player is not permitted to move into the path of an offensive player once he has started his shooting motion.
A defensive player must allow a moving player the distance to stop or change direction when the offensive player receives a pass outside the lower defensive box.
A defensive player is permitted to establish a legal guarding position in the path of an offensive player who receives a pass inside the lower defensive box, regardless of his speed and distance.
An offensive foul should not be called if the contact is with a defensive player who has established position within a designated "restricted area" near the basket, an area bounded by an arc with a 4-foot radius measured from the middle of the basket.

Can the Nuggets contain D-Will?
It's the question of the week. Deron Williams has done almost whatever he wanted to do, whenever he wanted to do it, in the first two games of this series. The Nuggets have done a poor job of identifying Williams in transition and a worse job keeping him out of the lane. To have success tonight, they'll need to rectify both problems.
Will Ty Lawson put a bigger imprint on the series?
The speedy Nuggets guard was quieted a bit in Game 2 after a breakout performance in Game 1. He has been a bother for Williams, and he has to get back to doing that in Game 3. After 11 points and six assists in the first game, Lawson had as many fouls (three) as he had points (three) in Game 2.
Will the Nuggets' bench bounce back?
In Game 1, the Nuggets' bench contributed 31 points, sparked by J.R. Smith's 20, most of which he scored in the fourth quarter. In Game 2, the entire Nuggets' bench scored 20 points. Smith was held to nine, and the Nuggets reserves were outscored 33-20. The starters are playing big minutes, but the reserves — Smith in particular — must have a positive, productive impact if the Nuggets are to be successful.
Chris Dempsey, The Denver Post
Spotlight on Kyle Korver: Yes, the Nuggets' focus going into tonight's Game 3 centers on how to stop Utah point guard Deron Williams, but it's vital they don't get too tunnel- visioned, given the effectiveness of Kyle Korver. The Jazz sharpshooter has been pushed into more minutes because of injuries, and he has responded, averaging 13 points per game and shooting 60 percent from the 3-point line.

Brock McElheran
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2008)
Brock McElheran (6 January 1918 – 23 September 2008)[1] was a conductor and professor at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam and a published author. He was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
He wrote the textbook Conducting Techniques for Beginners and Professionals, which is used today in several conducting classes around the world. He also authored Music Reading by Intervals: A Modern Sight-Singing and Ear-Training Method for Singers, Conductors, and Teachers and a book recalling his experiences in World War II, V-Bombs and Weathermaps.
Besides conducting various ensembles at the Crane School of Music, McElheran has also conducted various ensembles around the world, including the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Two major activities outside of Potsdam were the Saratoga-Potsdam Choral Institute, SPCI (c 1970-1984), a three-week summer school held at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, and conductor of The Elgar Choir in Montreal (c 1972-1980?).

Ashley 'Woz' Westlake first appeared on our radar after his RackNRuin "Territory" remix competition entry blew us away. Not only did he win but we were so impressed, we signed his debut "Seen" EP, to BlackButter Records on the spot.
The young Bristolian explores bass music in a way we've not quite heard before. It's rare to find a sound both so unique, fresh and at the same time, so well produced. You know a Woz production when you hear it.
With an increasing reputation in the UK bass scene Woz impresses some of the most reputable of tastes: Toddla T, Oneman, Redlight, Roska ,Gorgon City and Loefah to name off a few. Woz's last release 'Cherry Hill' EP, is a trademark dark roller, employing nasty synth builds and clinky, Soul II Soul-esque percussions that come crashing down on an elemental bassline – maintaining the kind of quality control that reinforces Woz's young king status; Blending an innate inner-city temperament with a wildness that's all his own.MORE / LESS

Summer bag
This bag compresses very small, and is lightweight. Perfect for summer nights and even fall/spring on the right night. What more can you ask for? It is comfortable and for the price it cannot be beat. I would highly recommend this bag. I'm not a huge fan of Kelty products, but this bag simply can't be beat for the price and for the role of a lightweight down summer bag. I am 6'3" and the large accommodates me well.I have only used it 3 times, but it seems like it will hold up for a long time.

Helping out on her friends abbywinters.com shoot Brandi started to get a little curious about how she would feel in front of the lens; sliding onto the bed with Leoni K she asks for a few tips to rid herself of nerves. Eventually she decides to go for it, and you're seriously going to be glad she wanted to!
The shoots starts with a mood of shyness but with a hugely seductive feel, you just know from that point on that she's got a lot of sexual desires underneath that gorgeous, silky smooth surface that she needs to get out! Pulling at her tight blue top and ripped jeans she gives us glimpses of her perfectly formed, slim, toned body.
After a little more tentative teasing all is revealed, a trimmed strip of pubes, small pert breasts and long slim, sexual legs. Turns out though that Brandi has a LOT of stuff she needs to get out, one of these being her purple dildo smuggled into the shoot with her bag. Using this and photos of Leoni K she gets herself to an awesome and erotic climax that perhaps she didn't think she'd do on camera!
