Forever: De Beers and U.S. Antitrust Law
Jennifer Burns; Debora L. Spar
Price: $6.93
For over a century, the international diamond market has been dominated by one of the most successful cartels on earth. Run by the legendary De Beers Corp., the cartel has managed to keep diamond prices increasing and to prevent the defection that dooms most other "orderly marketing arrangements." It has also managed to uphold one of the greatest marketing coups of history: convincing millions of customers that diamonds are actually rare and therefore highly prized. There is only one problem for the cartel. It is illegal in the United States (the world's largest market for gem diamonds) and has been under constant attack by the U.S. Justice Department. The case describes how De Beers has dealt with this problem in the past and how, in the late 1990s, changes in the African political situation and the world diamond market may suggest a new relationship with the U.S. government.

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

Submission from Nathan Troxel on September 14, 2001 via e-mail
Subject: Proposed copyright reform
I write to express my grave concern regarding the extreme intellectual property provisions of the Consultation Paper on Digital Copyright Issues (CPCDI).
These measures, based on the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), give far too much power to publishers, at the expense of indivdiuals' rights. The DMCA itself is already under legal challenge in the US, has gravely chilled scientists' and computer security researchers' freedom of expression around the world for fear of being prosecuted in the US, and resulted in the arrest of a Russian programmer. The CPDCI provisions, which serve no one but (largely American) corporate copyright interests, are just as overbroad as those of the DMCA.
These provisions would amend the Canadian Copyright Act to ban, with few or no exceptions, software and other tools that allow copy prevention technologies to be bypassed. This would violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee of freedom of speech, and similar guarantees in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, since such tools are necessary to exercise lawful uses, including fair dealing, reverse engineering, computer security research and many others.
I urge you to remove these controversial and anti-freedom provisions from the CPDCI language. The DMCA is already an international debacle. Its flaws should not be imported and forced on Canadians.

• What protection is available?
• Who is protected?
• Exceptions

What protection is available to lesbian, gay and bisexual workers?
The law bans discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in employment and vocational training. This legislation specifically bans direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation because of sexual orientation.
According to the Equality Act, treating people less favourably than others on grounds of sexual orientation constitutes direct discrimination.
Indirect discrimination means applying a provision, criterion or practice which disadvantages people of a particular sexual orientation and which is not justified as a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate goal.
Harassment is defined as unwanted conduct that violates people's dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.
New legislation provides protection to lesbian, gay and bisexual workers throughout the entire employment relationship – from recruitment to dismissal. The ban on sexual orientation discrimination applies to terms and conditions, pay, promotions, transfers, training and dismissal.
Who is protected?
The Equality Act protects from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation regardless of whether a person's sexual orientation is towards people of the same sex, the opposite sex or both sexes. That means the law protects all people from sexual orientation discrimination: lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and heterosexuals/straight people.
The new legislation doesn't only protect people from discrimination based on their actual sexual orientation. Discrimination on the grounds of assumed or perceived sexual orientation is also banned and it is not important whether a person's sexual orientation is assumed correctly or incorrectly.
The law also protects those people who are discriminated against because of the sexual orientation of the people with whom they associate – their family members and friends.
The new legislation covers:
• All employers and contract workers in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland)
• Office holders
• Police
• Barristers and advocates
• Partnerships
• Trade organisations
• Qualification bodies
• Providers of vocational training
• Employment agencies
Wales Public Sector Equality Duties:
Welsh public sector bodies such as local authorities, health boards and government agencies fall under the Public Sector Equality Duty in Wales. This secondary legislation requires Welsh public bodies to set clear equality goals, saying just how they will deliver for all protected characteristics and collect data on the make-up of their workforce. More information can be found here.
Although this is significant legislation, which protects lesbians, gay men and bisexuals in employment, there are some areas where discrimination might still occur and would not be illegal.
The Equality Act allows discrimination where there is a genuine occupational requirement, which is a 'genuine, determining and proportionate' reason for requiring the employee to be of a particular sexual orientation.
Lesbians, gay men and bisexuals might also face discrimination by religious organisations. The Regulations permit sexual orientation discrimination 'for the purpose of an organised religion' where the religion's doctrine dictates or where required by 'strongly held religious convictions of a significant number of the religion's followers'. During the debate on the original regulations introduced in 2003, a government minister, Lord Sainsbury of Turville, stressed that this exemption will only apply to a 'very narrow range of employment: ministers of religion, plus a small number of posts outside the clergy, including those who exist to promote and represent religion'. The High Court ruling on the new Employment Equality Regulations relating to sexual orientation in employment has confirmed that the scope for such discrimination by religious organisations is narrow. Teachers at faith schools, for example, cannot be sacked for being lesbian or gay.
The new regulations also contain a general exception if there is a necessity to safeguard national security.
What will Stonewall do about this?
Stonewall is anxious to prevent exemptions from being used by religious organisations to discriminate.
Lesbians, gay men and bisexuals who have been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation can submit a complaint to an employment tribunal. Cases of sexual orientation discrimination in the area of training and education will be heard by county courts. Complaints to employment tribunals must be submitted within three months of the act of discrimination and within six months to county courts.
The burden of proof lies on the employer. This means that rather than the employee proving there has been discrimination, the employer has to demonstrate that they have not violated the law.
The Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003 were a result of theUK's implementation of the 2000 EU Employment Framework Directive requiring member states of the European Union to ban sexual orientation discrimination in employment by the end of 2003.
In 2000, as a result of a new power to combat sexual orientation discrimination, a new Directive was agreed requiring all EU member states to ban sexual orientation discrimination, as well as other forms of discrimination listed in Article 13, in employment by the end of 2003. The UK government conducted a series of public consultation exercises with all organisations and individuals working and interested in employment equality and presented its draft Regulations to parliament who agreed to the Regulations in June 2003.
From 1 October 2010, provisions in the Equality Act 2010 protect people from discrimination in employment or training on grounds of sexual orientation.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Stegosaurus Stunning! I have this dress in black and have received MANY compliments so far. The dress is very long, and it also "grows" a bit during wear due to the weight of the crochet. It's not super-heavy material but it's not cheap, which helps prevent snags. Very very comfortable and versatile. I will love throwing this on over leggings and long sleeves in colder weather. 9.11.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Once upon a time... This is a beautifully made maxi dress. The knitting is soft and sturdy. The color says "multi" and I was hoping that the background color was black, but it actually is a really dark midnight blue in the sunlight. The trim colors are brighter in person. The lines that run around the designwork and around the waist is a hot pink. The medallions are black, light coral, navy blue, hot pink, and medium purple. Since it is an open weave, a slip or a romper are a must. I purchased an XSmall and here are the dimensions of the one I received: bust all around: 35" waist all around: 28" sleeve length from pink line of shoulder trim: 7" length from back of neck: 52" There is a little give since it is a knit. I'm a petite at 5'2", and the dress hem sits right at my ankle. I'm sure gravity will pull it down with wear, because it is a little on the heavier side. 8.31.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by blue9girl9 Oh wow!! I put runs large, though it is not loose, it fits me perfectly, but I snagged the last one in the store, an XS, and I usually wear a SM. This is stunning and I don't even want to tell you the sale price in the store! Less than on here. I love love love this and cannot wait until spring so I can rock it! 3.20.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by vintagecameo Mixed feelings First of all, the fit is perfect. I normally wear a small in free people and ordered small in this dress. Love the way it fits. The length is funny. I've heard crochet will "grow"? So hopefully it grows quite a bit, because it only hits at mid-calf right now (I just received it) I'm five foot 10, so I'm probably similar height and size to the model and yet it's several inches shorter than in the pictures. I'd really like a maxi dress to hit the floor. Even with the length being off, it's super pretty. Note that you will definitely need a slip underneath. It's completely sheer and won't look the way it does in the pics unless you add a slip. Luckily I have one. Overall I love it, but I'm glad I got the sale price. For 300 dollars I would definitely be sending it back, but for the sale price I feel like it's ok that it's not exactly perfect but still really pretty. 2.6.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by gnomelover Disappointed I wanted this dress from the moment I saw it online. It is crochet and has a pretty pattern. I even love the name. Who doesn't want to wear a fairy tale? I have an hour glass figure and have some bumps I would like to hide. This dress accentuates every lump and bump going down my body. It also is baggy on top, but tight on my hips. The length hits me at a very weird spot. If this dress was shorter or just a skirt, I would pounce on it. I wear a medium and that is what I bought. So sad to be returning this, because I thought it would be my favorite purchase. 1.16.2013

Syringe feeding (force feeding) and hydration of kittens and cats – reasons and techniques
When is force feeding or nursing needed?
There are two instances wherein force feeding and/or hydration is necessary – feeding a sick cat that won't eat/ drink or won't eat/ drink enough and hand nursing unweaned kittens when the mama cat is unable or unwilling to nurse.
Today we will discuss the first instance – feeding and/ or hydrating a sick cat.
One very common situation that calls for force feeding and hydration is caused by fairly common respiratory infections or colds. A cat with a respiratory condition often gets a stuffy and clogged nose, just like we do. They don't understand about blowing their noses, they get clogged up and can't smell. Cats don't understand not being able to smell their food, they rely on their sense of smell to tell them whether something is food and good to eat. Also, as we all know, if you can't breathe through your nose, it is difficult to simultaneously eat and mouth-breathe. Your cat may try, take a bite and then get confused and afraid of choking when he tries to eat and breathe together.
As a result, a cat that is being medicated and should get better, stops eating and drinking and the situation becomes life-threatening. Remember, your cat can get much sicker very fast if he or she doesn't eat. Not eating for just a day or two can cause serious or even life-threatening problems with their liver, kidneys (including renal failure), etc. – and it's easily preventable.
Aside from respiratory infections, there are many conditions suffered by cats that are treatable and/or curable that cause cats to stop eating, due to weakness, lack of appetite, confusion, nausea and many other reasons. However, your cat stands a much better chance of recovery if his caloric intake is maintained and dehydration is avoided. After all, kitty needs his strength!
In addition, we should concern ourselves with situations with cats that are eating normally but, for a variety of reasons, may be becoming dehydrated. If your cat has diarrhea, for example, he may become dehydrated very quickly. Cats with infections, taking antibiotics, need lots of fluids as do cats with constipation. A cat that has been outside in hot weather, especially in direct sunlight, can quickly become dangerously dehydrated (you might see panting, loss of balance or weakness) and be unwilling to drink water on it's own. Lots of conditions can cause or be caused by dehydration, so it is useful to know how to give your cat water.
Some cats don't fight, actually enjoy the taste of the liquid food and just relax and swallow. Other cats, with the same illness, will get scared and fight. We will discuss techniques to control your cat while feeding him, if need be.
Foods to use with syringe feeding – and foods not to use:
Firstly, never use regular milk. Cats and kittens are typically very sensitive to lactose, which is found in milk. Lactose causes varying degrees of nausea, diarrhea and vomiting in most cats – we don't want to make a sick cat sicker (or damage a nursing kitten). In a pinch, you can use a product called Lactaid, which is lactose-free milk sold at most grocery stores. I don't recommend relying on this, but temporarily, if you have nothing else, it will at least get some calories into kitty until you can get to a pet store or vet's office.
Milk-replacer sold at pet stores is a good option, especially for a cat that is ill, but will get better, as opposed to a cat suffering a chronic illness . It is sold as a supplement for feeding sick cats as well as for replacing mother's milk for nursing kittens and for supplementing the diet of pregnant cats (called queens), who don't generally require force-feeding and show cats (which is not a subject that I am dealing with today). I often recommend KMR milk replacers (esbilac stage 1, petlac, etc) , which is a liquid or a powder that you mix with water. It works well in syringes, cats and kittens love the taste and it seems to be very effective nutrition – I have fed it to several cats that couldn't or wouldn't eat on their own and they all stayed strong and got better. However, for a cat that is more seriously ill or chronically ill, you should have a liquid food prescribed by your vet. There are a great many types of veterinary diets, formulated for your cat's specific illness and dietary needs. It is very important that your cat receives the right balance of nutrients, fats and lipids, fiber, protein, water, etc. KMR and similar brands make excellent products for nursing orphan kittens, but you would do well to discuss product options with your vet. Tiny kittens have very delicate digestive systems that can be damaged easily.
Just as a side note: If your cat requires extra hydration, but is eating and is not really sick, one alternative to giving water with a syringe is to supplement your cat's diet with meat flavored baby food (which is largely water). Your cat should be eating canned food along with dry, in part for hydration as cats just don't drink enough water even at the best of times to maintain a proper hydration percentage. However, if your cat needs extra liquid right now, baby food will provide a good hydrating supplement and cats tend to love it, in which case no forcing is necessary. Remember, though, that baby food does not constitute a nutritional supplement for cats, its only use is for hydration.
When you buy the food, you will need a feeding syringe as well. These are plastic, needleless, with measuring marks along the side. They are available in varying sizes, a larger one is appropriate to a larger adult cats, smaller for kittens
Feeding techniques:
So, now that you have determined that your cat needs to be force fed and you have acquired a liquid food and syringe (s), the next step is to feed your cat.
Start out by mixing the food powder with water in a small bowl or, if you are using liquid pour into the bowl. Start with about 1/3 cup. Place the bowl in a larger bowl of hot water. You want to warm, not heat the food and keep it warmed at least to room temperature throughout the feeding process.
Make sure you have a towel for your lap and small towel (s)or washcloth(s) for cleanups. Wet one side with warm water and keep one side dry or use two.
I usually force feed in the bathroom, as it's the smallest room in the place and if the cat gets away, we don't have to pull him or her out from under the furniture! I sit cross-legged on the floor, but you should just get comfortable. Cover your lap with the larger towel.
Pick up your cat. I don't know any cats that like to be placed on their backs, but you must be able to get at his face comfortably. See what works. I usually try a sort of on the side and half-upright position for kitty.
Fill the syringe with the food and insert the tip into the side of the cat's mouth. This is important, because if you come in from the front, you can accidentally squirt the food into the cat's throat and cause choking.
Hopefully at this point your cat will take the food in small amounts, swallow and be ready for more in a moment. Some of the food will drip down the cat's face. This will always happen but is especially true if the cat is struggling. Wipe the food fairly carefully with the warm cloth. If you allow the food to dry on the fur, it will be difficult to get off and, after a few feedings, cause the fur to come off in clumps along with the dried food while you are attempting to clean it. Inevitably, if you have to syringe feed your cat more than a couple of times you will see some redness around the mouth. Try to vary the position of the syringe so it doesn't rub too much in one place.
If your cat does fight, try wrapping him in another towel. Do it gently but firmly enough that he can't flail around or scratch and run away. If your cat really protests you might want to wear gloves to save your hands. Most cats, even fighters, will relax somewhat when they realize that the food tastes good and their not being hurt.
Keep the process up until you have fed the amount given on the label of the food product as appropriate for your cat's size and weight. At least do your best! A bit more or less is ok, give or take. We just want kitty to get some food in and get used to it. It should get easier with each successive feeding session.
If you are using this technique for hydration, it should be easier. You don't have to do it as long, you don't have to mess with food products, you just have to pull some lukewarm water into the syringe and go from there. You should check with your vet regarding the amount of water to give your cat in your individual situation. But you can't really over-hydrate. If at a loss, try one syringe full given several times each day until your cat's dehydration condition clears up and/or your cat transitions to a new diet that provides sufficient hydration.
Force-feeding and Syringe-feeding are scary sounding terms. But really, this is pretty easy and can save your cat's life. Think of it somewhat like feeding a baby. Good luck!

iPhone 3G International: Launch 2 Commences + MTS in Russia!
Back on July 11, the iPhone 3G launched in 22 countries. Along with much fanfare, hippie attention seekers, lines that would stretch out for weeks on end, and constantly crashing servers. But since Apple sold about a million of the hot new handsets that weekend, you just knew they were going to do it again.
"Today" brings phase 2, where 21 more countries are supposed to come online with the iPhone 3G. (Officially Aug. 22nd, which may or may not be "today" to you depending on your timezone). How are things going so far? Reader Anton was gracious enough to send in this report (thanks Anton!):
Now it's midnight in Estonia and I'm at the iphone launch event. No special frenzy, about 1000 people in one supermarket, a couple of DJs and a lot of light. There's just two plans offered: us$55 and $89. First one includes 100 minutes, 100 SMS and 100 Mb; the other one - 250 of each. Every extra megabyte will cost $.25 and $.21 respectively. The phone itself is $267/8Gb and $396/16Gb with $55 plan and $149/8Gb and $278/16Gb with $89 plan.
Ouch! When will telcos worldwide realize what Henry Ford did almost 100 years ago. Mass pricing leads to mass adoption which leads to mass profits. Sheesh!
So are you standing in line right this very minute, ready to get your shiny new iPhone today? Is your carrier up? Is iTunes activating? Let us know how things are going!
And if your market still doesn't have the iPhone 3G, just remember that Apple promised another 30+ countries -- a grand total of 70+ -- for 2008, which is now set to include Russia via MTS. That pretty much leaves China standing alone as the last major market sans carrier deal... for now.

Do Not Call
The National Do Not Call Registry is available to help consumers block unwanted telemarketing calls at home.
If you have not already done so, you may want to consider registering your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry. Doing so will limit the telemarketing calls you receive. The National Do Not Call Registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency. You may register your phone number online at https://www.donotcall.gov or by calling toll-free, 1-888-382-1222 (TTY 1-866-290-4236), from the number you wish to register. Registration is free. After you register, telemarketers covered by the National Do Not Call Registry will have up to 30 days from the date you register to stop calling you.
If your number has been registered on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days and you receive an unlawful telemarketing call, you may file a complaint on the registry's website at www.donotcall.gov or by calling the registry's toll-free number at 1-888-382-1222 (TTY, 1-866-290-4236). In order to file a complaint, you must know either the name or the phone number of the company that called you. Our office cannot trace the phone call you received and obtain this information on your behalf. You also must provide the date that the company called you and your registered phone number. You may provide your name and address, but it's not required for you to submit a complaint.
Please keep in mind that the registry covers most, but not all, telephone solicitations. Calls are still permitted from: (1) collection agencies and creditors, (2) political organizations, (3) charities, (4) pollsters and individuals doing surveys and (5) companies with whom you have an existing business relationship. A company may call you for 18 months after you make a purchase or three months after you submit an inquiry or application.
Even if you do not register with the National Do Not Call Registry, you have other rights and protections. You can prohibit individual telemarketers from calling by asking them to put you on their company's do not call list. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991 requires telemarketers (except non-profit organizations) to keep such a list. Keep in mind that the telemarketer's "do not call" list applies only to that individual company. Repeat your request to each business that calls you. (47 CFR 64.1200; 16 CFR 310). In addition, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules prohibit telephone solicitation calls to your home before 8 am or after 9 pm. You may report violations of the TCPA or of the FCC's rules via the FCC's website at http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm or by calling 1-888-225-5322.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Epic Records is going to "great efforts" to take down a new Future remix leaked over the weekend with a vulgar Lil Wayne lyric that has offended the family of Emmett Till.
A statement from the label issued Wednesday night says the company is making the move "out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family."
The New Orleans rapper made a sexual reference involving the beating death of Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy tortured and shot in Mississippi in 1955 for whistling at a white woman. Till's family objected and the Rev. Jesse Jackson reached out to his management, The Blueprint Group, on the family's behalf.
Neither Jackson nor members of Till's family could be reached late Wednesday. A publicist says Weezy has had no comment so far.

ORLANDO, Fla. – On November 10 beginning at 10:30 a.m. a special Karting With The Stars event will take place at the Orlando Kart Center at 201 Parcel Lane in Orlando.
The event is a benefit for the Greater Orlando Spinal Cord Injury Network and is hosted by the Disability Wellness Center.
The following was provided to WKA from David Bruinsma, an Orlando-area WKA Road Racing Series veteran and former national champion.
For more information about the event, visit http://kartingwiththestars.org.
Anyone interested in participating can bid from our website for the chance to be on one of the ten teams. Because Orlando Kart Center, our celebrities, and the other companies involved have donated all their time and equipment for free, the money raised will all be donated to GOSCIN.
Dr. Portee talked to a coworker about developing a kart race to raise money for GOSCIN and awareness for karting. Since his coworker knew I (David Bruinsma) was involved in kart racing they asked me to help with the project, and together we began developing a race program that could meet these objectives.

Ah, the old school play. Yawn.
My mother must have spent countless hours numb-bummed and restless, sitting through the performances of every other parents' children, waiting for my brief and lacklustre one-worded appearance on the school stage.
More often than not my appearance would be in the form of an instrument-toting orchestra member. Recorder, violin, piano, even trumpet, I tried them all. At least I was mercifully saved from the spotlight. Mostly.
The occasions I recall most vividly in my on-stage career were as follows:-
1. My performance as a poppy in our version of The Wizard of Oz. I wore green tights, a green top and a vast crepe paper red head-dress / bonnet creation. Not my finest hour.
2. Our production of Tom Sawyer. Not the leading role, but an actual speaking part that year. I had to play a drunken has-been. The writing was clearly already on the wall by the time I was 10.
3. Being dressed as Danny Zuko in Grease and gyrating on the hood of a life-size art class created Cadillac to the x-rated lyrics of "Greased Lightnin'."
I remember the stomach-churning angst and the inability to smile as adrenalin invaded my cheek muscles. I yearned for a role in costume and make-up.
Perhaps there is a reason why none of the photos of these historic performances have survived. Perhaps my parents never actually filmed them. Understandable.
The only survivor is this (above) – our Primary School production of 'Up the Cut.' A tale of canal folk ('The Cut' being local dialect for 'canal' in Birmingham). I must have been cute that year, as I was only about 5 years old. That's me front and centre with the blonde mop of hair. How much would I pay for that right now?…
I recall the productions in which my own son has starred over the years. The first, aged 4, an unbearably cute nativity story. Aged 5, ditto. Aged 6 & 7, more of the same – summer and winter terms. And so on. Less and less cute, more and more self-conscious, a child's development over time recorded in song and dance. And yet, no matter what the subject, no matter how ordinary the singing, I have saved each precious moment with a lump in my throat and a camera in my hand.
And here we are, in the last week of the last term of the last year before High School. No longer cute. Full of testosterone and equally full of nerves. We sat for two hours totally mesmerised by the fantastic performance of these 11-year-old kids in their home-made costumes……
Their little jazz hands are no longer small, and though my bottom may still be numb, my heart is full as I watch my child growing in to a man before my eyes.
Don't waste time. Preserve the memories of your child's development now – it is the best gift you could ever give to your children. They just don't know it yet.
It's free to capture and share the memories of your whole life and the lives of your family at www.SaveEveryStep.com.

Cross Country Finishes Season At Championships
- Release Date:
- October 28, 2012

Men's AMCC Championship Women's AMCC Championship
EBENSBURG, PA – The Hilbertmen's and women's cross country teams closed out their 2012 seasons at the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference championship meet October 27. Penn State Behrend's men's and women's teams both captured their races with a 27 point tally followed by Franciscan and Altoona in that order in both divisions.
The weekend championships opened with the men's division taking the 8K course at Ebensburg Country Club before the women ran their 6K race.
Hilbert's Joshua Walczuk completed his race in 35:14, finishing in 38th place overall and leading the Hawks for the third time this fall. Others scoring for Hilbert were Kyle Kriegbaum (37:19), Rick Landahl (41:22), Andrew Cartaginese (43:34) and Tyler Roth (45:43). Akeem Todd and Steve Phillips ran the course as well, but their times did not count towards Hilbert's 264 overall points, as the Hawks finished in 10th place.
Shannon Ellis finished in 24th place overall to lead the Hawks in scoring (28:15) for the fifth time in as many races. Miranda Reimondo (30:38), Kayla Lansberry (33:37), Kateland Ball (35:19) and Julie Rouleau (30:38) pieced together the 224 Hilbert team score. Also competing for Hilbert were the Smith sisters, Miranda and Stephanie. Hilbert finished 18 points ahead of La Roche College to claim the 9th place finish.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Joe Hill, Koontz, Justin Cronin.
Neil Gaiman. I think I would recommend "Neverwhere" as a starting point. If you like a little darker, then "American Gods". Or if you want satire "Good Omens", which is co-written by Terry Pratchett. I also can't say more good things about his YA book "The Graveyard Book."
For light-hearted comedies try John Steinbeck's books. NOT! There's just too many good authors out there to list all of them- Koontz (as long as they don't have golden retrievers with supernatural powers), Joe Lansdale, Robert McCammon, Dan Simmons, Joe Hill, Tabitha King, Scott Smith, the list goes on and on........
Vladimir Nabokov
Peter Straub
Amy Tan
P.D. James
Wilkie Collins
Oscar Wilde
John Kennedy Toole
Sigrid Undset
Daphne DuMaurier
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Madeline Albright
Harper Lee
... the list will be too long by the time I'm through. There are so many excellent authors and so little time in which to read them all.
I concur with all the fine authors already suggested and also add Tess Gerritsen to the list.

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: Who Will Play Christian Grey?
The Fifty Shades of Grey movie is still on the hunt for its Christian Grey, so there's no definitive answer just yet.
However, a slew of names have been tossed into the seemingly ever-expanding casting ring, so let's take a look at the debonair lot of 'em. (Poor us.)
Ian Somerhalder: The Vampire Diaries' dark and brooding Damon is currently dominating our dream-casting poll with over 42% of the votes. The actor himself would love to oblige, though he recently told Mr. Porter online that "there's nothing official."
In the meantime, he's planning on setting up his own sex chamber. "There's a website you can go to where you can just outfit your basement as a dungeon," he joked. "So, you know, I thought I'd get prepared, just in case."
Alexander Skarsgard: With all his practice sexing ladies up as rakish vamp Eric on True Blood, Alexander Skarsgard would have no trouble stepping into the role of Christian. "Absolutely. That wouldn't be an issue," he told The Daily Chili. "I have a sex chamber in my basement — my character on True Blood — so I've had training."
Ryan Gosling: A UK tabloid got people thinking Ryan Gosling was a lock for the billionaire BDSM enthusiast after publishing an interview with author E. L. James's husband. However, James herself waved off the reports, telling Ryan Seacrest that it was "completely misreported."
She explained, "What happened is that [my husband's] local paper, he's from Northern Ireland, there's a newspaper there called the Belfast Telegraph that reported on my husband being the inspiration for Christian Grey. Underneath it they put a picture of Ryan Gosling, as well. So, that's how that came about."
Channing Tatum: When the Sexiest Man Alive had a Twitter interview with U.K.'s Glamour Magazine back in July 2012, the mag asked him if he'd sign on to play Christian. Channing answered, "1) Yes. 2) I'd only be allowed if my wife was Ana. She's read the books so I don't think she'd be impressed if she couldn't be Ana!"
Robert Pattinson: Fifty Shades of Grey started as Twilight fan fiction, so naturally star Robert Pattinson has been asked if he'd be interested in getting sexy in Seattle. "I am playing that part," he joked in a recent interview, adding, "I also wrote the book." We're guessing that's a no.
Matt Bomer: Writer Bret Easton Ellis landed himself in hot water (a familiar place for the American Psycho scribe) in August when he claimed Matt Bomer wouldn't make a convincing Christian because he's gay.
In defense of Matt's obvious talent, as displayed on White Collar as the very straight and very delicious Neal Caffrey, co-star Alexandra Daddario gushed to Wetpaint Entertainment, "I think he'd be great." Matt himself gushed, "[I]t's very flattering that I've got fans who would like to see me in things."
Henry Cavill: Is moviedom's next Superman poised to trade in the iconic tights and cape for the trappings of a bad-boy business magnate? The 29-year-old British actor, who stars in a couple steamy fan-made trailers, told Details, "Whether that happens, that decision will be made at the time it has to be made. It would be a very different kind of thing than Man of Steel."
Way to dodge that speeding bullet, Cavill.
Stephen Amell: Arrow star Stephen Amell apparently had a meeting about the project. "I get questions about Christian Grey all the time," he said in a video posted to Facebook. "That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it. Long way off. I mean, not that long, but not close. I wouldn't call it long, but I wouldn't call it close."
Max Greenfield: In true Schmidt form, New Girl's Max Greenfield would bring his shirtless A-game to Fifty Shades. When asked if he'd consider going full frontal for the role on the Emmy Awards 2012 red carpet, Max quipped, "[Nudity]'s not the issue. It's the issue of whether they want to see that much intensity on screen."
Jake Gyllenhaal: Jake's puppy dog good looks may not jibe with the part of Christian, but we certainly wouldn't mind ogling the actor sans shirt. "Of course! I always want to work, man, of course!" Jake told Ryan Seacrest when asked if he'd be down to tap into his dark side for the movie. "That's super flattering. I mean, I have not heard that, but if that's true then that's a nice thing. It's always nice to be considered."
James Franco: Though James has yet to read the book, the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon intrigues him. "These kinds of subjects — sexuality and anti-normativity — this kind of thing has been a big interest of mine for a while," James explained to The Hollywood Reporter at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where he screened his documentary about the BDSM website kink.com.
James Deen: In late January 2013, the X-rated film star told Entertainment Weekly that he'd happily audition for the part. "It seems like a character I could have a lot of fun with," he said. "I've heard really mixed responses about it, like, 'Oh, it's a cheesy Twilight wannabe.'… [but] I think it could be fun. I feel like it could be a really cool, fun role to work on."
However, he doesn't think the studio would go for him. "I'm that porn guy," he added. "As I understand, the rumors [for Christian] are some guy who's on a TV show on USA [Matt Bomer], some model dudes, and Ryan Gosling. I feel like me versus Ryan Gosling? There's an easy decision on where the studio is going to go."

Israeli Film
We Also Recommend
Israel is a young country, and cinema is a young art form. But the relationship between Israeli cinema and its establishment has often been an uneasy one. Nonetheless, the history of Israeli cinema mirrors the history of Israel itself.
One of the first-ever motion pictures was filmed in Ottoman Palestine by the French Lumiere brothers. It is known popularly as Train Station in Jerusalem (1896). Its exotic, panoramic views are as transfixing today as when they were first screened for a European audience.
Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) itself remained the focal point of filmmakers through the period of the British Mandate. The first feature-length film in Hebrew was Oded the Wanderer (1933). It depicts a young sabra [Jew born in the land of Israel] who gets separated from his classmates on a school trip. In a typically didactic effort, the film emphasizes the importance of working the land and restoring a Jewish connection to it.
Most productions made during the years before and the first years of Israeli statehood, stressed these and other Zionist ideals. A common trope was the heroism of the Jewish pioneers, not just in settling the land, but also in fighting for their survival.
The most prominent Israeli manifestation of this type is probably Hill 24 Doesn't Answer (1955). Filmed with a relatively expensive budget, it tells the stories of four fighters from diverse backgrounds in the War of Independence. They die, but their deaths are not in vain–their mission is accomplished and the eponymous hill is awarded to Israel.
Ephraim Kishon's first movie, Sallah Shabbati (1964), is radically different from these standard productions featuring heroism, nobility, and sacrifice. It shattered all box-office records and is still shown frequently in ulpanim [Hebrew-language training] in Israel. Sallah hilariously subverts the self-important idealism that was so pervasive both in Israel and in Israeli films. It was nominated for an Academy Award, and stars Haim Topol as a Sephardic immigrant [that is, a migrant from Mediterranean lands], lazy and endearing, who manipulates the system for his own advantage.

The Bristol-born keeper joined Stoke in January for a fee in the region of £3.5million but was sent back to Birmingham on loan straight away.
During his time at St Andrews he made his senior international debut as part of an experimental side that beat Italy 2-1, becoming England's youngest goalkeeper, and he was also part of the Great Britain squad at the London Olympics.
But the 20-year-old is yet to force his way into Mark Hughes' first-team plans at the Britannia Stadium, where Asmir Begovic has been in such good form.
Barnsley will give him the chance of playing time from the start of his spell at Oakwell, with first-choice Luke Steele sidelined by a back injury, and he could make his debut at Leicester on Saturday.

The botany collections at the Natural History Museum span almost 400 years. They are unique in terms of their historical and cultural context, covering a period of unprecedented exploration and investigation into natural history.
The Museum's botany collections date from the 17th century. No other major herbarium existed in the UK until the mid-19th century when the one at Kew was developed by William Hooker. Consequently, virtually all important collections that reached the UK's shores before this are housed at the Museum.
There are two key foundations to the Museum's botanical collections - those of Sir Hans Sloane and Sir Joseph Banks.
Other significant historical collections held in the Botany Department include:
Many of these latter collections include important type specimens, but all are hugely important from cultural and historical perspectives, and as part of the Museum's heritage.
Learn more about Sir Hans Sloane's botany collection – the Museum's oldest. It includes many special items and the first collections to reach Europe from Japan, China and the Americas.
Sir Joseph Banks provided the Museum's second major botany collection. It includes the first botanical collections from Australia and New Zealand, obtained during his HMS Endeavour voyage.
Learn about the curation of the historical botany collections and where to find them.

I am fairly amused at how fast a thread about GW2 and its faults turns into pages of WoW-this, WoW >GW2 -that, No GW2>WoW-yadda-yadda.
Here on MMORPG fourms I see tons and tons of "discussions" devolve into "arguments". Not even good arguments, just mostly "pissing-matches". I am sure my post history will reveal that I too am guilty of this.
It is quite possible that our genera of games fails to move forward because this community we laud as a wealth of incite, is actually junk. Since we fill the bins of "incite" with junk, we get junk in return.
As far as GW2 is concerned, the mid-levels are horrible. My opinion. I played a Asura, Mesmer till 60ish. The only "New-to-Me-Thing" I felt was in GW2. I beleive, this is the result of building a "Zerg" of a game. The events, as previously stated, are not scaled down for 1 player, they are designed for groups. Groups which are built of a "mob" of untalkative players, that suffers no penility, nor gains a reward from actualy grouping in the open world.
For me there would be a reason to go around the whole world, as I like achievements. But then there is level-scaling. Yup that thing to encurage players to return to zones, does for me the reverse. If I am completing an zone for an achievement, I minght to "crank it out". Not be forced to fight every mob I see just as when I began a level range. This turns into a grind. Let alone the rare conversation about wht are the rewards when you stop gaining XP, as in cap, any reward for spending all that extra time grinding white mobs to get your vistas, hearts, explore yadda yadda?
So I havent played in a long time, meh, prolly got my box price worth.
Thinking about it now, GW2 sholdn't have XP, or levels at all. You should be cap right from the start, with skills to unlock. You could have to collect hearts to unlock traits or something. But really there is very little in the way of character-leveling-advancement. The advancement in GW2 seems almost like all other MMORPG-endgame advancement.
Four0six, out.

I think that lies shouldn't be tolerated because it destroys rational discussion. How would you propose to deal with someone that is repeatedly lying? Mid level ranges being empty in the world is an issue that deserves discussion. But it's not only GW2. It's a fundamental design problem with all themeparks at the moment. A few months after either an expansion or a new game release, the mid-level zone's population diminishes.
So I called the guy out, he kept backing up and then it was final. He was compeltely fabricating the entire story. I have had that character in the zone on my other monitor for over an hour now. Not one single person has entered the entire time. I have not seen one CRZ person while passively walking around.
It's not about WoW vs GW2. I like both games for different reasons. It should be about how we actually deal with the issue that runs so rampant in all themepark MMORPGs.

I don't see level scaling as the issue that you do OP. I personally enjoy being able to go from region to region and face foes on a relatively equal footing for a fun fight. However, I do feel some work could be done in reward scaling (particularly at the various vendors) as many people seem to need a bigger carrot to motivate them to explore outside the box. But really, risk vs reward isn't the only issue.
I am like the designers. GW1 was fine with henchman as it was solo / co-op with pals and instanced but it would kill part of the fun in GW2. It's one of the few recent releases that gives any feel to adventuring with others in the world rather than being just a solo story dungeon crawl. I'd like them to keep the focus on interaction with other players in the open world to win dynamic events or aid their fellows randomly. It's a part of what makes GW2 awesome.
I disagree on traveling and maps feeling artificial being a problem. As a matter of fact I think the actual map and environment design is excellent. I only have issues with mobs I want to have an issue with traveling. I just need to keep a good eye out. I have been surprised at how big some of the maps really are and how much detail is crammed into some of them. But you are starting to hit on where I think the issue is.
I think the issue relates more to world design and in particular the creation of hubs and flow progression from area to area when leveling. GW1 was basically built around one massive hub that brought people together and everything flowed outward from it making it easier to get up a group or what have you. That's not true here in GW2 and they leave you little reason to linger or opportunity to explore off the beaten story path.
To correct this issue would require creating "draws" to bring players to the various regions and establish little operational hubs. This could be accomplished by making remote crafting stations there that you must use to create high end gear or modify it with skins or emblems and adding important material drops to some event bosses. Make an event tracker in each region to help players keep up with what is going on so they can be where they want to be. If they change karma rewards to add in high level items to each region it could help. These are just some examples of how it could be done but the bottom line is adding layers of usefulness and function to the regions on the map that go beyond simply leveling.
None of this would require a game re-design. It could be done in one good expansion or several solid content patches.

Regarding rewards in lower level zones, light night I was in the Sylvaran zone 1-15. Killed a flying miniboss of some kind and got a level 80 exotic short bow: Avirdanag with a Superior Sigil of Bloodlust. Stacks 10 power per kill to max of 25. I was like, "Yay!" I already have a level 80 exotic shortbow that I use so at first I was thinking maybe to auction it. I check the auction and it's selling for 5 gold 74 silver. I was like, "Damn!" I was so close to selling it, but then I thought I probably wouldn't buy it myself for that price so I should just equip it. I love it!
I am looting low level gear but also stuff 76 to 78. Making decent money gathering/vendoring/auctioning.
I was in the zone as I attempt for 100% map completion, but seeing some nice sights, a decent number of peeps, and enjoying the views.
There are barriers that keep you from going to certain areas, but there are no invisible barriers. Even in RL, I'm sitting in a room with walls, can't walk through them. So it's not like impediments to travel are unrealistic. Even if I jump in the lake outside my house in RL and start swimming I will get exhaustion and have to swim back to the dock after a while. Not to mention the water is freezing right now.
The only problem I have is I haven't been doing the dungeons. I'm seriously wishing the had a dungeon group finder. But other than that, it's good times.
The game really needs an expansion though, something to add to the feature list.
Clearly you don't play the game.
1: the real lack of rewards comes from nerfing the rewards for everything. they made it so magic find % doesn't affect the chests, chests don't scale with the level of the player, event chests no longer drop rares or exotics so why bother. Since this change has been implemented I have yet to see events like the shadow in the swamp be summoned because it's a huge fight without any reward. They just nerfed the last dragon fight rewards as well Jormag.
It has nothing to do with if you can stomp something in 1 hit. (oh and if you are in all exotics you actually can stomp enemies in the lower areas until about level 30 so you're argument is moot.
2: the invisible walls thing isn't that areas have borders, it's that mobs tend to suddenly become obstructed. This is another indicator of how we know you don't play the game because you just didn't get what people were talking about. It's when you are fighting a mob on land or underwater and suddenly it becomes immune to your damage and says obstructed.
3: Henchmen would be a great idea tho i doubt they'd use it. The problem with people not being in the open world tho is not due to too many mobs, or having to teleport....the problem is they took a 180 from their launch design by adding a dungeon and limiting loot in the open world and further adding DR to everything stating "DR was to stop the bots" well like everything else so far their bug squashing team can't keep up and the DR doesn't work properly. Everyday we see more and more players come into the forums and complain that the DR has become permanent on their account and is account wide preventing them from getting the simplest of parts necessary to even gear alts. Anet has had mixed statements about this. Johnpeters stated they are trying to adjust it so it doesn't affect legit farmers (impossible imo they should just remove it) and one of the community managers insulted the community by ignoring 1200 post thread about the loot issues by basically saying it's everyone's imagination that they don't get rares/exotics from dragon events or from fighting veterans/champs and we should all just post again what we posted on their 1200 post thread. This aside, they added a dungeon and made that dungeon the sole means by which people receive anything worth while completely opposite of their original design and because of this everyone is just hanging out in one city called LA and spamming LFG all day, if there was a LFG tool they'd still have a lobby dungeon end game. Weird huh.
It just seems to me you have no idea what the real concerns are about the game. That's the real concern that this has suddenly turned into a WoW 2.0.

I don't think their intention was ever to have a group of 80s roll out and destroy content together for awesome loot and whatnot.
I don't think it's "clueless" design, but I also think that they could do a lot more to make the zones more attractive for all level ranges.

It actually was because of the tiered armor as reward design, because armor has stats going against their own early statements of how this game was supposed to be all cosmetic, and that lower level areas don't provide higher level rewards for higher level players they've effectively broken this design.
for example, when trying to help friends in queensland on a level 80 full exotic toon, I can 1 shot just about everything so I can't help my friend because he has 0 chance of getting a hit on anything less then a champion.
example of a lack of reward thing: none of the hidden or event chests in the game actually scale with the player. Do the shadow swamp boss get level 15 or below items. I know I've tried it.
So until they change the rewards they'll be making it more boring for the high levels, and until they make the game more horizontal (adding a mentoring system at the level above the zone while in group) there will be this huge difference in damage. (because I doubt very much they'll go back to a truly horizontal game design where gear has no stats at all).

Unfortunately this isn't the design I've experienced, or thousands like me. When we go to low level areas usually they don't drop anything unless it's a fluke. Go back there and try to farm these things and tell me what happens. because I can tell you right now what will happen, you'll get mostly junk, greys all in the name of taking out bots. Getting a fluke drop does not equal a great reward system. Sorry.
Originally posted by itgrowls
I'll take your word that chest don't work, but everything else does. And really, I am talking about level 30 to 70. Level 1-15 areas give very diminished returns if you are 80 comparatively.
But I also don't like the gear progression that seems to be creeping in. It would mean even more powerful level 80s coming into lower zones. It goes against everything I thought their intended design was about. So I definitely see where you are coming from there.
SWTOR is the greatest mmo ever!
No mentoring system - it ends up being a speed leveling system and that also means that would have to get rid of the linear leveling model.

Heh... first off you're not convincing me that you even bother going into low level areas. But that's besides the point... the point is not that they want 80s to flood the low areas and go nuts getting loot. The point is that they want there to be a chance that if you are 80 and drop down to help a friend you'll still get appropriate rewards. No, it won't be every time. You may get some low level items, you may get high level junk. But as a reward for going to those zones there's a chance you'll get a nice drop.
Originally posted by Volkon
20 or so posts on the official forums reporting the crappy drops I get every time i go anywhere level 55+ and the 70 or so times I've gone to level 1-30 zones to help new guildies and my husband would like to have a word with you.
They don't even allow you to farm in these lower level areas without hitting DR, ever tried as a leatherworker to get coarse leather consistantly??? not even salvaging allows you enough. And don't get me started on how animals don't drop their parts, Zevra hooves anyone? seriously. you're just wrong sorry. When I say rewards I mean rewards, not some currency you can't use to buy anything worth while either because after you've bought your armor pieces from Orr what else is there? green peppers? you can't convert it to gold so where are the rewards?

WILLIAMSON — The ladies auxiliary of the Mingo County Sheriff's Department (MCSD), the "Shielded Hearts", which is made up of spouses, mothers and significant others of the deputies are selling items to raise funding for the Sheriff Eugene Crum Memorial Fund.
According to Amanda Mines, the wife of Corporal Norman Mines and who is also employed as a Home Confinement Officer, the newly founded group is made up of 19 members including Sheriff Rosie Crum and Rhoda Diamond and Linette Morrison, who serve as MCSD Administrative Assistants.
The goal of the Shielded Hearts group is to raise funding that will used toward the needs of the Crum family, as well as establishing two memorial scholarships (Mingo Central and Tug Valley High Schools) in the memory of the late sheriff who was shot and killed on April 3.
"Eugene took great pride in both of the high schools in Mingo County and wanted to do whatever necessary to help the students excel in a safe and secure learning environment," stated Mines. "Establishing scholarships for two deserving seniors in his honor is very fitting. It's what he would have wanted."
The group is currently taking orders for and selling t-shirts ($15 each) and window cling decals for $2. All proceeds earned will go directly into the memorial fund. The shirts must be paid for in advance before the order will be placed.
The group is concerned that a local business located in Goody, Ky. is selling the window clings that was created the day after the death of the sheriff, from a photo belonging to Linette Morrison, who is a professional photographer that owns and operates Linette's Captured Memories. The business does not have her permission or the permission of Rosie, and have reproduced the exact design created for the MCSD by Dominoes Printing of Gilbert, according to Mines.
"Dominoes had applied for a copyright of the design they created for us using Linette's photo of Eugene," said Mines. "We are selling ours for $2, and the Kentucky business that is selling the reproductions without permission is reportedly selling theirs for $5. The money we make from the sell goes straight into the memorial fund; the business is not donating any of the proceeds from their sales as far as we've been told."
"We're hopeful that the public will support us in our fundraising efforts and will purchase a t-shirt and window clings from our group so that the proceeds will go toward the scholarships and for the needs of the family."
If you would like more information on the items being offered, you may contact Mines at 304-235-0318, or Morrison and Diamond at 304-235-0300.

Hell I even saw a vectored thrust RC jet model!!!! That was some kind of impressive! You should see what they cost to build now though,, you thought guns were an expensive hobby! WOW! In the interview with the guy with the jet, he said he had about 5K in it,, to much for me to get back into!! Of course that thing was something else again, I'm sure there's cool stuff that's not so bad.

However, this man had no business performing abortions in the third tri-mester unless the mother's life was in danger.
