Product description
Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong. Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on? Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a "god." Rick Riordan, the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and suspense in "The Lost Hero," the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Fans of demi-gods, prophesies, and quests will be left breathless--and panting for Book Two.

Healing Manor to become a country hotel with first phase open by August
Posted: February 20, 2013|
PLANS for Healing Manor to become a country house hotel will finally be realised.
Developer and village resident Mark Brennan has bought the historic property, which sits in 36 acres of parkland.
It will soon have a restaurant and bars back up and running, as well as five elegant bedroom suits, creating about 20 jobs.
The long-term vision for a spa and conference centre remains, with further bedrooms to be added down the line.
Related content
The deal, worth several hundred thousand pounds, completed yesterday after lengthy negotiations, and Mr Brennan aims to have the first phase open by August.
It heralds a new dawn for the manor, after a troubled few years, and marks a return to Mr Brennan's hospitality roots. He first worked at his cousin's hotel in Fleetwood, and went on to launch both The Art Bar and Sugar Sugar in Cleethorpes.
Revealing to the Telegraph that he also plans to make it his home, as he "is in it for the long term," he said: "The chance to take on this project in the village where I live was too good an opportunity to miss.
"I will be aiming for a good star rating. I want it to be a hotel of country house standard, where food is reasonably priced and the whole village can enjoy it.
"For a number of reasons the negotiations to conclude this deal have taken nearly nine months and I am very grateful to my team of advisers, including Nikki Hawkins from Wilkin Chapman Grange and Carl Bradley of Clark Weightman, who have worked hard to make this happen. Now we have completed my aim is to be open for business by August with renovation work starting at once."
Once the estate of Viscount Gerald Berkley Portman, plans for a 65-bedroom hotel, with major building expansion to the current 88-room manor, were first revealed by a consortium of businessmen in November 2005, having purchased it from farmer Neville Peasgood for £1.3 million the previous summer.
July 2008 saw Healing Manor opened as a restaurant, bar and function venue, then under a single owner, leisure entrepreneur Kash Pungi. Plans to provide rooms were never realised, and the business lasted less than 18 months. Healing Manor was back on the market in May 2010, with tenants not found to take it on, after Mr Pungi admitting he was not the right person to run it.
Since the doors closed to the public in December 2009, Vietnamese illegal immigrants have been prosecuted after being caught cultivating a cannabis plantation there, with mortgage holder Royal Bank of Scotland repossessing the Stallingborough Road property just under a year ago. It was then put up for sale for £650,000.
William Downing, of selling agent Pygott & Crone, has worked with Mr Brennan's team throughout. He said: "The condition of the property and the reluctance of the banks to fund this type of project have meant that only a particular type of entrepreneur with a willingness to commit his own capital could contemplate tackling a challenge of this size. Now the sale has completed we wish Mark and his family every success. It is great for Healing and great for the whole area."
Mr Brennan, who achieved four star status for Sugar Sugar with individually-themed rooms at the Market Place venue – a major project that saw the derelict London Guest House transformed back in 2005.
"There is lots to do and it will all be done over a period of a few years," he added. "For August we are looking at having the bridal suite and four other beautiful suites ready, as well as the public areas, so people can see what we're aiming at. There will be then be nine more rooms in converted stables. There is already planning permission for the spa and conference centre, but that's not going to happen immediately. This is a long-term project that we have decided, as a family, that we are going to do."
One of the attractions at Healing will be beer brewed by daughter Jo and her partner Peter, who operate three London pubs.

LEE COUNTY SCHOOLS: Bryan is sworn in as superintendent
Andy Bryan was sworn in as the new superintendent of Lee County Schools on Tuesday during a meeting in which the Lee County Board of Education also made a slight change in its own leadership.
Mark Akinosho was elected vice chairman of the school board, succeeding John Bonardi, who didn't seek the position. The board elects new leadership every July. Dr. Lynn Smith was unanimously re-elected chairman. Akinosho also leads the board's Finance Committee.
Smith said he's excited for at least four years of Bryan's leadership — the length of his $180,000-per-year contract — and Bryan said he was excited to work with his fellow educators in moving the county forward.
"Our teachers are great, and they do a great job every day with the most important resource we have, which is our children," Bryan said.
However, some of those teachers could be at risk of losing their jobs. Bryan reported that the N.C. Senate's proposed budget would cut about $2.5 million from Lee County Schools, mandating where the cuts must occur. Officials have previously said that budget would force them to eliminate 42 teaching positions. The N.C. House's budget also would cut about $2.5 million from local schools, Bryan said, although it would allow local officials to decide where to cut.
The district is also losing $500,000 next year from the Lee County government, which had been used mostly for teaching assistants, and Bryan said the federal government will also cut the district's Title I and Title II funding due to the sequester. Those funds can be used to hire teachers, teaching assistants or tutors, buy supplies and support professional development or beginning teacher mentoring programs.
In addition to the funding cuts, the board is also involved in four political battles, three of which are ongoing and one — switching school board elections from nonpartisan races to partisan ones — which it has already lost.
The board opposed the election bill, which also applied to the Sanford City Council, which also opposed it. The bill failed to make it out of committee once but was back up for consideration soon afterward with Lee County Commissioner Jim Womack, who has said he requested local Rep. Mike Stone to craft the bill, in attendance to show his support. It passed that second time — but not without controversy, said Tamara Brogan, who has been acting as the school board's liason to the legislature.
Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, a Democrat who represents Orange and Chatham counties, motioned in committee to amend the bill to let the citizens of Lee County vote on whether they wanted the races to become partisan. But Stone then spoke against it, Brogan said, adding that what happened next seemed nefarious.
"To me and most people in the room, it sounded like the 'Yeas' had it," Brogan said. "But the chairman (Sen. Tommy Tucker, a Republican from Waxhaw) gave it to the 'Nays.'"
When the bill reached the Senate floor, Kinnaird tried once more to add the amendment requiring the changes to be approved by Lee County voters, but it failed along party lines. The bill then passed, also along party lines, becoming law.
"This was a bad bill, and it's going to have a negative effect on our children," Brogan said.
Added Bonardi: "Mr. Stone is more concerned with party control of education than he is with sufficient funding of education, and that's just disappointing."
The other bills affecting the school board, which are still in committee — all of which the board has opposed and which were submitted by either Stone or local Sen. Ronald Rabin — would transfer control of school property to the Lee County Commissioners, would transfer control of school resource officers to the Lee County Sheriff's Office, and would take away the school board's four appointments to the Central Carolina Community College Board of Trustees and give them to the Lee County Commissioners, who already appoint four trustees to the 16-member board.
The board also:
* Approved grant applications for federal Title I and Title II aid.
* Approved revised calendars with the correct amount of school days.
* Congratulated Carol Chappell, director of K-5 instruction, and Tina Poltrock, director of secondary education, for putting together grant-funded programs to teach elementary and middle school teachers more about math and science. This summer, the instructors will take lessons in teaching chemistry and astronomy.

After Hurricane Katrina's devastation in 2005, Louisiana embraced a radical vision for New Orleans education, leaning ever more heavily toward charter schools. That shift culminates this month as the last of NOLA's traditional schools close.

Herm Edwards passionately breaks it down for NFL rookies at the symposium
|06.29.11 at 9:39 pm ET
The NFL's annual rookie symposium is being held this week in Florida ' by the looks of their Twitter feeds, several of the Patriots' rookies are in attendance, including quarterback Ryan Mallett, offensive lineman Marcus Cannon and cornerback Ras-I Dowling. And while the big news was the fact that commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith conducted a joint session with the rookies, the apparent highlight of Wednesday's session was when former coach and current ESPN analyst Herm Edwards addressed the rookies.
Edwards' talk, which was broadcast live on ESPN, was a passionate speech about the transition from the college game to the pro game, and the struggles that come along with that. The video from the event was just posted online, and is worth a look:

By: Jenna Lohse
(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Fillmore County officials are estimating upwards of a million dollars in damage from recent flooding. The Highway 43 bridge near Choice needs repairs because flooding washed out the roads around it. County officials say this is the case for many of the roads in the area, but losses go well beyond infrastructure.
"I farmed out a couple of plants," said Donna Johnson of Mabel.
Donna Johnson lives in Mabel, and Sunday morning she woke up to an unsettling surprise.
"He says it's flooding and you got to get up, and when I put my feet on the floor, water up to my ankles," said Johnson.
Water flooded into her basement and covered nearly a foot of her first floor.
"We've never seen water like this," said Johnson.
For the time being, Donna is living in an apartment across town. On Wednesday, her relatives were filling a second dumpster full of her soggy belongings.
"In that dumpster that just left is 62 years of collecting," said Johnson.
Things can be found drying out on the lawn down the street Donna lives on, where three of her rental properties also flooded. This is the story for many people throughout Fillmore County.
"Sewer backups, just the wet basements and things from Harmony to Mabel to Lanesboro and on down, it's a very widespread area," said Fillmore County Sheriff Daryl Jensen.
Fillmore County Sheriff Daryl Jensen says there's been flooding in Fillmore County in the past, but this is the worst he's seen.
"It might be a million, it might be somewhere between a million and two million by the time it's done," said Jensen.
Repairing a bridge on Highway 43 and completely rebuilding another bridge on County Road 23 adds up quickly.
"We're not just concerned about the bridges, there's a lot of people that have some personal concerns that we're trying to help with too," said Jensen.
Sheriff Jensen says there's many people like Donna, who are working to salvage what's left of their homes. But under all the water and mud, Donna still finds a spark of hope.
"I've got so much to be grateful for, I've got my life and my good health," said Johnson.
County officials say they're waiting to hear back from the state as well as many townships and will have a better idea of how much the flood damage will cost next week.

Clarks Fork Hatchery
190 Road 8VE
Clark, Wyoming
Mailing Address:
Clark's Fork Fish Hatchery
190 Road 8VE
Powell, Wyoming 82435-8115
(307) 645-3146
Located approximately 29 miles north of Cody on State Highway 120, at mile post #129.5 turn west on County Road 1AB. Follow 1AB for 5 miles, then travel east on county road 8VE for 1.9 miles.
Built along the Clark's Fork River in the shadow of the Beartooth Mountains, the Clark's Fork Fish Hatchery is 29 miles north of Cody Wyoming, just a few miles off Highway 120. Many unique places including Yellowstone National Park, the Shoshone National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands are nearby for you to enjoy. The hatchery sits on 195 acres of deeded Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) land that includes many public fishing access points. The hatchery, built in 1970, is the second largest fish hatchery in the state and offers a unique opportunity to view fish culture in progress.
The focus of the Clark's Fork Hatchery is hatching and rearing fish for stocking into waters that allow public fishing. Trout species at the station include Eagle Lake rainbow, Fall rainbow, Firehole rainbow, brown trout, Bear River cutthroat and Yellowstone cutthroat. Occasionally, as the need arises, arctic grayling are raised for stocking.
Natural underground springs provide a constant supply of cold, disease-free water to the hatchery. The twelve springs furnishing water to the facility vary from a low of 5,000 gallons per minute (gpm) in April to a high of 7,000 gpm in October. During the peak months, the springs provide approximately 11.5 million gallons of water per day at an average temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Because the water is constantly flowing through the raceways, they do not become covered with ice, even on the coldest winter days. After passing through the facility, the water returns to the Clark's Fork River.
Eyed eggs are shipped to Clark's Fork from other state hatcheries. Upon arrival, they are placed in hatching jars for 14-20 days in one of 20 troughs inside the hatchery building. The eggs hatch in the jars and then spill into the troughs and quickly begin growing. The small fish, or "fry," are fed up to six times a day. Once the fry reach fingerling stage (approximately three inches), they are transferred to other WGFD hatcheries/rearing stations or moved outside into the large concrete raceways. Here they are fed two to four times a day until they reach the size desired for stocking. The Clark's Fork Hatchery is one of the major producers of native Yellowstone cutthroat trout here in Wyoming. In addition, some of these native fish and eggs have been provided to numerous universities in the U.S. and Canada for genetic research and graduate student projects.
Once fish have reached the size requested by fish management crews, they are ready to be stocked. Clark's Fork Fish Hatchery personnel travel to areas throughout the state of Wyoming in order to stock fish for anglers. Stocking trucks are the most common way of transporting fish from the facility to a lake or river. Insulated tanks keep the water cool while oxygen bottles; air stones and aerators provide oxygen to the fish during transport. At Clark's Fork there are two fish distribution trucks. Each year, these distribution units travel around 52,000 miles combined, to stock or transfer approximately one to two million fish.
Currently, the Clark Fork Fish Hatchery is whirling disease free, but in 2002, fish sampled from the Clark's Fork River tested positive for the parasite that causes whirling disease. Although this parasite results in deformities and often death of fish, it is not known to affect humans. In order for the parasite to survive, an aquatic worm must be present in the water. The worm is less likely to appear in "closed" (underground) water sources and concrete raceways, like those found at Clark's Fork, than in open waters sources that can easily be infected. All WGFD hatcheries are examined by a fish pathologist on a regular basis to be certified disease free. Again, to date, the hatchery is free of whirling disease; we ask that you please help us to keep it this way by following the guidelines posted on the front door and information kiosk.
You can fish locally on the Clark's Fork River.

Safe and Effective Fine-Grained TCP Retransmissions for Datacenter Communication
Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: PDF
This paper presents a practical solution to a problem facing high-fan-in, high-bandwidth synchronized TCP workloads in datacenter Ethernets - the TCP incast problem. In these networks, receivers can experience a drastic reduction in application throughput when simultaneously requesting data from many servers using TCP. Inbound data over small switch buffers, leading to TCP timeouts lasting hundreds of milliseconds. For many datacenter workloads that have a barrier synchronization requirement (e.g., file system reads and parallel data-intensive queries), throughput is reduced by up to 90%. For latency-sensitive applications, TCP timeouts in the datacenter impose delays of hundreds of milliseconds in networks with round-trip-times in microseconds.

This is by no means dirty rice. I followed this as written and feel that there are tons of other recipes that rate much higher. It would have been easier to just boil the rice and add all the other stuff to it.. Will not make again.

I have now made this recipe twice and it has been a hit both times. Could not find Anatto Powder so I just left it out. Husband and kids loved it!
Great tasting rice dish. I loved the combination of spices.
This is an easy and versatile recipe. For another meal idea layer guacamole, sour cream, cheddar, and (for your meat eating friends) grilled chicken,for one helluva burrito. This recipe is a new favorite in my house.
Oh my gosh, this was so good! The only changes I made was to use cubanelle peppers instead of green (too expensive this time of year), red kidney beans instead of black, and 1 tsp of ground chipotle chili pepper instead of the 2 tsp of annatto - it's what I had on hand. I served it as a side dish to the Cuban Pork Roast and Spicy Mango Salsa recipes also found on this site. Will definitely make again. Thank you, Jen!
I got this recipe because normally "dirty rice" is a cajun thing, so I made it with Cajun Chicken. It's more like spanish rice. However, it was a big hit! My hubby loved it!! Next time I make it, I'll do so with a spanish meal!
This was incredible. We ommitted the nuts and it was fabulous!!! There is just two of us so there were a lot of leftovers. Definitely put the fresh onions and squeeze the fresh lime juice on top... it just makes the dish.****UPDATE**** I have to say this has become one of our most favorite recipes.. we alter it only a little by adding shredded chicken. We just buy a pre-cooked rotiserie chicken and use the white meat.. fab!!!

Arrest warrant drawn up for PNG speaker
Papua New Guinea's government corruption watchdog has drawn up an arrest warrant for the Speaker of Parliament amid allegations over missing development funds.
But Taskforce Sweep chair, Sam Koim, says Speaker Jeffery Nape has yet to be served with the arrest warrant as investigations continue into Nape's alleged misappropriation of 5 million kina ($A2.4 million) in funds.
Koim told AAP the arrest warrant was prepared on January 25 after investigators had trouble getting access to documentation that they say is relevant to the case.
But, he says, the team has yet to decide whether to use it.
"Let me put it this way, the arrest warrant was obtained on the advice that we will search him as well as arrest him on the spot if the documents are found with him.
"We have not approached him yet.
"The case is still ongoing."
Nape has earned a place in history as PNG's most powerful Speaker.
Having served as Speaker for the government of Sir Michael Somare, on August 2 Nape allowed a crucial vote of no confidence in the Somare government.
The vote allowed Peter O'Neill to form a new government with a majority of MPs.
The Supreme Court on December 12 ruled the process used to elevate the O'Neill government was unconstitutional, which in turn sparked a series of crises which culminated in a failed mutiny in January by Somare supporters.
The Port Moresby-based Papua New Guinea Post-Courier reports the missing 5 million kina came from a larger 30 million kina ($A14.2 million) Nape requested from the government in 2009 for an agriculture project in Chimbu Province.
The paper says a letter requesting the funds also implied Nape's loyalty to then Somare/Temu government during a period when there was a rumoured vote of no confidence.
Nape could not be contacted for comment by AAP, however he is reported as saying the missing funds were never released to him and that he is ready to face the taskforce at any time.

Budget-Friendly All-Inclusive Family Vacations
Few things can sour a fun-filled family vacation faster than stressing about the mounting costs of snacks and activities. On an all-inclusive family vacation, instead of asking how much snorkeling, horseback riding or a pina colada costs, all you need to say is, "Yes, please!" Granted, "all-inclusive" doesn't mean the same thing at every resort. So we've done the homework for you -- check out our picks for the most budget-friendly all-inclusive family vacations.
Red Horse Mountain Ranch Resort
Tucked among 300,000 acres in northern Idaho, Red Horse Mountain Ranch Resort gets children as young as 3 involved in the great outdoors with trail rides accompanied by a wrangler.

This all-inclusive resort's children's programs include a circus school -- children as young as 4 can learn skills like walking on a tight rope, jumping on the trampoline and juggling like a clown.

Tyler Place Family Resort
A fixture of northern Vermont since the 1930s, Tyler Place Family Resort is a magical blend of a summer camp on Lake Champlain, with relaxing perks for parents such as an adults-only policy for cocktails and dinner. The kids eat earlier with their new friends, then head on a hayride on the 165-acre resort or go waterskiing on Lake Champlain. Camp counselors tailor activities for each age level, such as bike rides with helmets and training wheels for 4 to 5 year olds, and climbing walls and ropes courses for 8 to 9 year olds.
Rates: Nightly prices range from $109 to $381 per adult (based on 1 week, double occupancy), and $83 to $127 nightly for children 2 1/2 and up. The price varies based on date and choice of accommodation (cottage or suite lodging).
Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa
The Disney resort Aulani opened in Oahu in 2011 as a semi-all-inclusive family-friendly resort -- semi because meals and drinks are not included, but some other unique activities, including evening celebrations like the Starlit Hui or gathering around a traditional Hawaiian fire pit for tales told by a master storyteller are part of the package. You and the kids can also enjoy the accompanying waterpark, complete with 2 tubing slides, an 8,200-square-foot, zero-entry pool with tunnel body slide, and interactive Menehune Bridge, which offers 3 water slides. Also included is access to childcare for potty-trained children at the 5,200-square-foot Aunty's Beach House kids' club.
Rates: Start at $399 per night for a standard room, excluding taxes and fees (check for discount packages through AAA). This price includes access to childcare at the kids' club, the waterpark, and many on-site activities and entertainment options.

Meeting Terrell Tilford, you get the sense that he's never in a bad mood. Throughout our interview on the Atlanta set of Single Ladies, he was constantly joking around and having a good time, as was everyone on the set of the show while I was there. Tilford, who plays Sean Clark, an old flame of Keisha's, made it pretty obvious that this is a cast that really enjoys and respects one another. Though he's new to the show, the veteran actor has worked with his leading lady, LisaRaye McCoy, in the past which made it that much easier for him to settle in.
Did you get your start on soap operas?
Well I came from theater first first and foremost. I've been doing a lot of daytime over the years, but last year I was on a series for Lifetime called The Protector with Ally Walker, Tisha Campbell, Miguel Ferrer. I bounced around. I just shot a pilot up in Vancouver with Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas called This American Housewife. Yeah, so I've been bouncing back and forth between daytime and prime time, the stage…a little bit of all of it. We're gypsies, so you know, where the job is.
what do you consider your home base?
Probably Los Angeles because that's probably where I'm at the majority of the time. But, 40% of the time is in New York as well so, you know, my motto is: Have script, will travel.
what drew you to Single Ladies and this character?
With every show, especially coming into a show that's already established, it's about finding the rhythm and the pace and really establishing that rapport with the different actors and establishing the different relationships and really sort of finding where my character fits in. You know, because my character has a history that was already established before I got here. So, it's a matter sort of owning that and them bringing that history to the relationship…with Lisa Raye, who plays Keisha. Just sort of bringing that in and sort of selling that we were once an item before as well and having not been. Before the show we got together quite a bit, just so that we could bring some depth to what's on the page.
What's it like being a man on a show with so many strong women?
[Laughs] That's called a man's dream. And on the other hand I think it's the women's payback for all the male-dominated shows. I think it's great. I think it's awesome because I'm not normally in that circumstance. Usually it's the other way around where it's a male-dominated show. So, I like the fact that the women are running things and we as the guys have to just navigate it and find our way within their lives. It presents its own challenge. It's just a matter of keeping your tail between your legs a little bit and doing what they say. Otherwise, they beat you.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's okay. It hurts just a little bit. [Laughs]
Is there solidarity with all the other guys on the show?
Pretty much. We have to do it in secret and we kind of like just give each other the eye because if the women catch on to it, once again, they beat us, they tie us up. They lock us up. We cry quietly in our trailers.
Sounds terrible, I'm sorry. So let me ask you this, if you had to choose between one of the women on the show, would you gravitate toward Raquel, Keisha, or April?
There's only one way I can answer that. I'm going to gravitate towards Keisha.
Is it intimidating working with someone like LisaRaye who has such a strong presence? Maybe intimidating is the wrong word, but she's just got such a strong, empowered vibe.
No it's not intimidating as much as…it's different and it's great. We've worked together before. We worked opposite each other on All of Us when she was doing that series. I played a boyfriend of hers at the time who was trying to wedge his way back into her life as well. The thing that I like about her is she's such a strong woman and has a big personality. You know, Lisa Raye is a lot of business and she has a great soft side to her when she let's that go as well. It's really beautiful to see. So, it's a matter of me finding the wavelength to work in between it as well because you got to be strong up against her otherwise she'll eat you alive. That's not a bad thing. I love it about her. She's a tough chick. I like that aspect.
So what's one thing you want viewers of this show to know about you, the real you?
Hmm…You know, I pretty much like to leave it to people to sort of, you know, whatever gets revealed is sort of for them to decipher for themselves. Whatever I try and tell them might actually be a lie.

Jets Sign QB Geno Smith
Plus, an Independent Investigator Says Rutgers Should Have More Oversight With Athletic Department
Let the Jets' quarterback competition begin! The team announced Monday it had reached a contract agreement with rookie Geno Smith, a second-round selection in this year's NFL draft. Smith had created a stir by choosing Roc Nation Sports—led by rap mogul Shawn "Jay Z" Carter—to represent him, but there was little chance he would hold out. Under the league's collective bargaining agreement, all rookie deals must be four years in length. Now that the agreement is official, Smith can challenge Mark Sanchez for the Jets' starting quarterback job when the team begins training camp Friday. Jets coach Rex Ryan said last week that if the regular season were to start immediately, that Sanchez would be the team's starter. "But we're not," Ryan said. "So we'll let it play out."

Firm: Rutgers Should Have More Oversight
An independent investigator brought in to review the scandal at Rutgers that cost former men's basketball coach Mike Rice his job recommended that the university take more oversight of its athletic department and that it form a risk-assessment committee and crisis-management team, according to its report released Monday. The law firm Skadden Arps was hired on May 8, about a month after Rice's firing, and its report says it was informed by interviews with 37 people over two months, access to thousands of internal emails and memoranda, and comparisons to risk-management committees at Cornell and nine member schools of the Big Ten Conference, the league Rutgers joins in 2014. The report also called for more significant training for Board of Governors members and concluded Rutgers president Robert L. Barchi "is not always sufficiently informed of issues that fall within his purview." Barchi said in a news release that Rutgers "will take the appropriate steps to improve our internal procedures."

[single-channel video, stereo sound, 14min, 2010]
Scenes from Akira Kurosawa's film "High and Low" are appropriated and slowed down drastically, emphasizing the dramatic spatial tension between the characters, their focused audition and lost gazes. In each shot the characters are listening intently to some entity that is not present, their heads craned to hear better, their eyes either staring off into the middle distance or locked with each other as if to confirm the perception coming from their ears. The audience is put in the position of watching them listen. Pure sine tones of various harmonic and dissonant frequencies are created and spatialized binaurally, one tone to each figure. The result is a sonic field of phasing and interfering patterns, a dense fabric filling the tense empty space between people.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

In April, the San Diego Housing Commission asked the City Council's four-member Land Use and Housing Committee (LU&H) to forward the project to the full City Council with a recommendation to approve it. But, at the behest of Councilmember Kevin Faulconer, who represents Downtown—actually, it's really just the business and condo owners Downtown—the committee delayed a vote and instead asked the project's lead applicant, the Los Angeles-based nonprofit PATH, to conduct a series of meetings with nearby business owners, which PATH had been planning to do prior to a council vote anyway, and jump through several other hoops.
The proposal came back to LU&H last week, and though PATH had done everything Faulconer asked, it wasn't good enough; he urged the rest of committee to forward the project on to the full council without a recommendation for approval. Fortunately, the rest of the committee, Sherri Lightner, Tony Young and Chair Todd Gloria, rebuffed that request and gave the project the committee's blessing. But they agreed to the two other items on Faulconer's wish list—to direct the Housing Commission to study the feasibility of several alternative Downtown sites (as proposed by opponents of the PATH project) and direct the City Attorney's office to come to the City Council with a proposal for a new settlement to case that's already been settled.
That case is the one from early 2007 in which Judge William McCurine agreed to a settlement between the city of San Diego and attorneys for nine homeless people: Because ticketing people for sleeping in public is cruel and unusual punishment when there aren't enough shelter beds to go around, the police would be banned from doing so between 9 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. Faulconer has been trying to get that settlement wiped off the books ever since and has been arguing, erroneously, that the city is well on the way to producing enough shelter beds to convince the judge to lift the ticketing ban.
First, the study of alternative sites is a waste of the Housing Commission's time and money. The World Trade Center site was selected at the end of a year-long process that included a citywide look at possible sites. The alternatives include only one workable option—and it happens to be a project that was denied by the selection committee because of funding issues.
But more importantly, LU&H should not have capitulated to Faulconer on the matter of the legal settlement. The ticket ban and the PATH proposal are linked only thematically; they shouldn't be linked on any practical level. The proposal would replace roughly 220 winter-shelter beds with 223 year-round beds, but those are a two-and-a-half years away at the earliest. Even if they were available today, it's not nearly enough to satisfy the need. Despite what Faulconer may say about how many beds have been added since the ticket ban started, the situation for homeless men hasn't changed in any meaningful way; most of the housing added has been for other people, such as battered women, youth, families, veterans and sufferers of HIV/AIDS.
And yet, Faulconer is probably going to try to convince four of his City Council colleagues, behind closed doors, to vote to ask Judge McCurine to lift the ticket ban. City Attorney Jan Goldsmith might recommend a grid approach—lift the ban in small sub-areas that include new beds, such as the WTC area—but Faulconer has indicated that that is not enough; at last week's meeting, he wanted to know why the proposal wouldn't accommodate all homeless people living Downtown (answer: such an enormous center is not financially feasible).
Even if the attorneys for the homeless plaintiffs were amenable to lifting the ban—and they're not—and Judge McCurine were to be convinced of facts that don't exist, another attorney could easily pick up the torch, gather new plaintiffs and sue again. Any attempt to amend the settlement is a fool's errand and a waste of city attorney resources. The City Council must consider Faulconer's agenda in the proper context; he has no credibility on the homelessness issue and is acting solely in the interest of his NIMBY constituents.
We continue to be appalled that the PATH center is expected to replace the winter shelter, which will still be desperately needed when the new center is up and running, and we'll have more to say about that in September, when the City Council is scheduled to vote on the PATH project. However, the writing's been on the wall for some time—the winter shelter is as good as gone once the new center opens—and as angry as that makes us, it won't stand in the way of our support for the PATH project, which will be a model for how to help get chronically homeless people off the streets and, hopefully, on course for a new and better life.

OWS Education Reform Demands
Dec 30, 2011
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Related, there has been some interesting dialogue about what appears to be a sea change in opinion on U.S. education reform. Tom Hoffman writes, "At the intersection of Mathews, Russo, and Cody today, the most important point is that reformers have nothing to gain through more public debate. They've got the inside game, and that's all they need. They are strongest when policymakers and politicians are completely unaware of any alternative vision. That's why they constantly claim that no alternative vision has been articulated, when many have been, in great detail and rigor. It is getting harder for them to keep up that stance, but as more and more data comes in showing their approaches aren't working, they'll have to double down." Total: 91

The Cameroon international midfielder flew to London at the weekend only for the Hammers to cancel the agreement via e-mail on the morning of the medical, explaining they had agreed to loan Antonio Nocerin from AC Milan.
"Everything that has happened has surprised me. It was all done and we left it with them. I cannot understand how a club at that level can negotiate and work in a two-faced way like that," Osasuna's sporting director Petar Vasiljevic stated.
"It was a real shock how a club at this level was doing this. But every club know how things go and it was the same with this. We thought the subject was concluded and felt the talks had been completed.
"I want to explain what happened with Raoul Loe and how strange things became throughout the negotiations.
"The club received a firm offer from West Ham and we reached an agreement.
"It was then left in the player's hands to go ahead and pass the medical. He travelled to London with his agent where they waited and went to a hotel. Up until then everything went well.
"The following day when they had to undergo the tests they pulled out of the deal, blaming it on the fact that they signed someone else.
"I was then sent an e-mail confirming that West Ham had chosen to go with another player with different conditions and was a deal they had been working on for several weeks.
"It was a loan deal that they said was completed and gave their apologies."
Osasuna did not want to lose Loe but accepted West Ham United's offer for financial reasons, but Vasiljevic is pleased that the player is now set to stay.
"Raoul is a strong boy and knows that he had a chance to take a step forward in his career. But that was not possible and he had a bad Saturday night. Now he is back with the squad and it is all forgotten," he added.

Pronunciation: /pəˈrafrəsɪs/
Entry from British & World English dictionary
Definition of paraphrasis in English:
noun (plural paraphrasespəˈrafrəsiːz)rare
A rewording of something written or spoken; a paraphrase.
Example sentences
- A number of observations serve to emphasize that paraphrasis was an accepted way not only of adding ornamentation to a text, but also of altering it and of making pure inventions.
- Using paraphrasis to heighten the isolation and futility of the venture("those who began this affair"), two Scripture passages are quoted in Latin.
- Such un-English concatenations as 'music-esthetic', 'absolute-musical', and even 'art-religious' could readily be avoided altogether by paraphrasis.
Mid 16th century: Latin, from Greek (see paraphrase).

You have to admit that Sarah Jessica Parker is looking pretty fierce on this November cover of Elle. Love her or not-so love her, you still have to admit that SJP really has the goods! That very sexy cut-out dress in Calvin Klein and the spectacular, almost tribal looking necklace is by House of Lavande, FYI. This cover story has also piqued our interest. It's a "Women In Hollywood" section filled with stars like Emma Watson, Octavia Spencer and Elle Fanning, apart from Sarah Jessica, talking about their experiences in the industry. All styled to the nines of course! Emma, for instance, talks about her Harry Potter history, stating, "I just knew, from the moment I read "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" that I was meant to play that role…I put one of the Potter films on the other night. And it was amazing to me that I had done all of that. I have to remind myself every now and then." Octavia's story is a juicy one, as she talks about standing up to a powerful producer in H-Town, revealing, "Early on I had to stand up to a producer – I won't say who, but he is famous, famous. He dressed me down in a crowded office. I told him right there in front of a hundred people, 'You don't know me well enough to use that tone'…And then I ran to the bathroom and cried like a baby. But he never addressed me that way again. And he is known as a yeller."
As for our cover celebrity, SJP brings up playing the character of "Carrie" on Sex And The City for so long. While wearing a gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress and Casadei heels, of course. She says she doesn't want to repeat the same role in the future, with, "I don't love the idea of playing another woman who loves fashion and is slightly flawed in New York City. I loved Carrie, and I don't want to do the poor man's version of her. And while those are often the lucrative things to do, it's more reason to look in the other direction." Apparently, there's going to be a "Women in Hollywood" event mid-month too, so we're going to keep our eyes peeled for that one.

College can be overwhelming, especially the first few weeks of freshman year.
Navigating campus, figuring out the computer system, even learning to work in groups -- all that can be hard for newbies. Even more so if they're the first in their family to go to college or come from a disadvantaged background.
That's why freshmen at Lawson State Community College now take a required freshman academy course designed to steer them through those difficulties.
"It's good for new students that don't know anything about the campus, who aren't familiar with the Internet," said Jaquice Reynolds, a Lawson State second-year student from Birmingham. "When you're coming to college as a freshman, you're really lost."

Man arrested in brother's slaying
By David G. Palacio, Staff Writer : August 6, 2013 : Updated: August 7, 2013 10:32am
Photo By COURTESYNicholas George Koclanes, seen in an Aug. 6, 2013 booking mug provided Aug. 7, 2013 by the Comal County Sheriff's Department, was charged with the murder of his brother Ted Koclanes.
The Texas Rangers and New Braunfels police detectives arrested a 50-year-old San Antonio man Tuesday in the slaying of his 48-year-old brother.
Nicholas Koclanes is accused of shooting Ted Koclanes in his New Braunfels home in the 1000 block of Larkspur, according to New Braunfels police.
Nicholas Koclanes called the police the evening of July 12 saying he had not seen or heard from his brother and wanted the police to check on him. That night, police found Ted Koclanes in the back of his house with six gunshot wounds, according to a police affidavit.
By July 15, the case had become classified as a murder.
Over the course of several interviews with police, Nicholas Koclanes changed his alibi and new facts emerged — such as his ownership of a .32-caliber pistol, which matches the weapon used to kill his brother, according to the affidavit.
Police documents also show that Nicholas Koclanes attempted to have an associate lie about his location the day of the killing.
He was arrested in the parking lot of his apartment complex, in the 8800 block of Cinnamon Creek Drive, and was taken to the Comal County Jail. Bond has been set at $300,000.

This fantastic necklace is a totally unique and unprecendented take on a classic theme! The sterling silver teardrop frame contains a lovely intricate motif of flowers and a central Star of David.

Roman Glass comes in hues of blue to green.
Note: To preserve patina do not allow glass to come in contact with water.
Roman Glass Jewelry brings you to the magic and mystery of this historic period. Combined with sterling silver, this unique piece of jewelry is inlaid with a fragment of ancient glass, discovered in archaeological excavation sites in the Holy Land.
These sites date back to the period of the Romans almost 2000 years ago. Glass, once a rarity, found only in the homes of royalty and the wealthy became a common household object used for everyday items such as plates, bowels and jars.
Israel is one of the few locations in the world in which a series of geological and climatic phenomena coincide enabling the formation and preservation of the strikingly colorful glass. Almost two thousand years of contact with mineral rich soil and oxidation combine to form this precious glass.
Formations of layers on the glass resemble opal and are called patina, giving the exquisite surface coloring, which varies depending on the minerals to which the glass has been exposed. Every piece is unique!
These jewelry pieces make great gifts for your friends, family and yourself.

I go there all the time for the tasty ginger fried chicken, fried egg sandwich and a yummy chocolate cake. Their black currant lemonade is the best for hot days. The decor is realy cute with 40's looking booths and the staff is always friendly. Their flank steak is done just right when I order medium rare. I always enjoy going there. Recommended!
Posted by Julie on 07/22/2005
I am not generally one to write reviews but I am so disappointed with this place that I have to comment: The service is poor; the food is was not as good as the service. I ordered the flank steak. I'm not sure why the waitress asked how I wanted it cooked (I asked for medium) b/c it was "well-done" to the point of being difficult to eat. I am pretty sure that it was pre-cooked and re-heated in the oven. My friend ordered the seared tuna, which was not so much seared but wrapped inside a crepe which was fried to a burnt crisp on a pan. The residual heat "just" cooked the outside of the tuna. Unpleasant experience. Thank god the company was good!

I order from Lovely Day almost every single day; the fried rice is excellent. The portions are exactly right. I like the Pad Thai alot too! They know how to make a rare flank steak! Check it out!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/25/2005
This place is definitely overrated. The service was friendly, but not good. The chef doesn't know what "seared" means- I ordered the seared salmon salad, specifying "lightly" seared, and it came fully cooked. What's the point in offering a dish that can't be made? The orange cream dressing was pretty tasty, but not enough to get me to return. My friend's flank steak salad was also unimpressive. Trendiness only goes so far...
Posted by Benzo on 02/12/2005
The seared salmon is on of the best deals around, very fresh and quite good. About $10 for a nice filet, salad, and sweet potato puree - I eat it twice a week.
Posted by Nice night out on 11/21/2004
....check this place out. The atmosphere is cool - eclectic hipster and usually hopping. The asian-style appetizers were very yummy. We had the summer rolls and ginger chicken (delicious!). Also, the ginger fizz is a nice treat for a drink and not too strong on alcohol content for those who want to take it easy. The entrees were dissapointing however. We shared the pork chop with sauteed green apples and mashed potatoes which was pretty good and the seared tuna which was a bit of a dissapointment. Basically, not quite worth the money. Next time, I'll just stick to the apps and drinks. Good music though! We had a good time.
Posted by yum on 10/19/2004
*great value*, good food, nice atmosphere, pretty bad (but generally very friendly) service. Don't go if you have a chip on your shoulder about people who are way hipper than you. The fried rice is a great value and the ginger chicken is kickass (if greasy).

So back in January I decided to start doing 3-4 rides a week again from 2 rides a week and have been feeling great, heck I lost about 25lbs! Then on March 8th at the fully loop night ride on my SS I felt very week. I got home and all my muscles were weak and I almost felt sick. I decided to call out sick from work on 3/9/12 to rest and I felt better the day after and went riding with no problems.
Now this past Thursday night fully ride 4/5/12 I felt the same way. Out of energy, no power, weak muscles etc. I didnt ride Friday (decided to rest) and tried to ride Turnbull Saturday and had no power at all and felt like I was going to pass out all throughout the ride. I finally make it back home and decide to rest Sunday thinking maybe Im just overworking my body but now on Monday Im still weak.
Im sitting in my cubicle right now and dont even feel like using the energy to type this. Am I overworking my body? Maybe I dont have enough Calorie intake? I cant figure it out and Im starting to worry that something might actually be wrong. I did go back to my dr in March for something unrelated to this and he did mention I have high blood pressure. Could that be it? Ive decided not to ride my usual Tuesday night ride and might cancel Thursday if I dont feel well either. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe go and see my doctor?

Is It The Hot Time To Buy Gold For Future Gains?
Buy gold today. That's the message you hear throughout the nighttime information or on the radio. Actually, it looks like practically everybody and his brother is offering gold nowadays. You could also open up a gold supported IRA to protect your economic future; a future that will certainly enable you to live the sort of lifestyle you are accustomed to today.
Understandably, there are those which ask yourself if a gold IRA investment is sensible offered the truth that precious metals are not accepted as currency down at the neighborhood supermarket. Simply puts, what is the actual value of gold if it can not be spent on things you require or want? We'll resolve those worries in the following paragraphs.
Reasons for Gold IRA Investment Before we handle the practical components of possessing gold, we first must cover the reasons for considering a gold IRA investment initially. Here's the most crucial thing you need to know hereof: precious metals are among a few kinds of investments exempt to a complete economic collapse.
Right now, the UNITED STATE federal government is trillions of dollars in debt without end in sight. Experts fear this country can eventually go the way of Greece, Italy, and Spain. And if that happens, investments like stocks and bonds will certainly be essentially ineffective. Run-away inflation will make your cash virtually pointless also. At the same time, gold will certainly be risk-free.
iras One more thing to take into consideration is that gold investing is almost risk-free. Why? Considering that gold hardly ever loses value. Even if it doesn't remain to boost as it has over the last FIFTY years, you a minimum of will not be losing cash on the purchase. You can not claim that concerning various other sorts of investments.
Practical Aspects of Gold Investing Since you understand the reasons for gold investing, permit's discuss efficient issues. It holds true that you could not go down to the supermarket and buy a week's worth of meals utilizing a gold nugget or piece. Nevertheless, your gold can be converted into cash at any moment.
When you spend for a gold IRA you are spending for an automobile that can be liquidated at any moment by marketing the gold on the free market. Practically talking, you would offer your gold in small increments. You would simply market exactly what you should elevate the cash to cover your living expenditures. It's as simple as that.
All of this is dealt with by a gold IRA protector or, after retiring, a certified broker. If you have the bodily gold in your property, you could take it to any type of lot of outlets willing to buy it from you for cash. As the value of gold climbs, so does the quantity of money you acquire for every oz you sell.
Wealthy Investors Believe in Gold If you are still not encouraged that a gold IRA investment is a wise investment, consider the reality that the world's most affluent and most effective capitalists enjoy gold. They like it a lot that they are buying it in record quantities. What should this tell you? It must confirm that a gold IRA investment is indeed a smart one.
If you are searching for a steady and safe and secure way to make sure you have adequate financial resources after your retirement, you should highly consider a gold IRA. There isn't really a much better investment anywhere. And that's a truth.
